It’s a New Year!

Keep on Reading, Learning & Growing!

Raymond Ziemkowski
Jan – Feb 2024 • Vol 4, No 8

We know from the recorded lives of Saints and Sages of the world’s diverse religious traditions, that enlightenment and direct connection with God/Source is a possible and experienced reality. Each unique story and path adds to a “collective revelation” of our potential experience of God and unity, beyond our human sense of limitation and separation.

The “ultimate” Venn diagram of mankind’s course from separation to unity, includes the unique circle of experience and perspective of each of us. The more overlap we see and know, the more unity and cooperation we will experience in our lives and our world.

A Venn diagram uses overlapping circles or other shapes to illustrate the logical relationships between two or more sets of items. Often, they serve to graphically organize things, highlighting how the items are similar and different.

Every new person we meet… every new book, teaching or idea we discover, contributes to expanding our circle of understanding and compassion and offers an opportunity to bring us together towards an ultimate unified circle of oneness and unity.

Do you have a favorite saint or sage, or teacher and teaching, that inspires you to expand the circle of your understanding and your love/ compassion toward all life?

It’s a fun and rewarding exercise to sit down and distill a list of the top ten books that you have read, that have influenced your life and understanding. You might be inspired to read again and reboot these tomes that have inspired you on your life journey.

Two books, A Dweller on Two Planets and An Earth Dweller’s Return, by Phylos the Thibetan, published by Borden Publishing Co., are in my top ten esoteric book list. Collectively, these two books chronicle the progression of “classic” karmic entanglements of a group of souls, as well as larger national, ethnic and planetary karmas playing out (the battle of light and darkness) from their root causes in Lemuria and Atlantis until finding resolution in 19th century America.

These books can be read as fiction or embraced as an Akashic record of our soul’s individual and collective struggles through our earthly journey in time and space. Some of the most powerful imagery of the written word that I have ever read, are within these books.

It is comforting and brings co-measurement to our understanding of the world we live in today, when we see and understand what has been set in motion in our ancient past and is come to our doorstep for resolution today.

I’m convinced that planetary peace and unity will never be achieved by political or militant force. Peace and unity will ultimately be won by the work that we do on ourselves, as within so without. Imagine a planet and culture that honors each individual’s sovereignty and unique path to experience life, learn and grow. Separation and division will decrease, and unity and cooperation will rule the day.

I am grateful for a new year of self-discovery and service. I am grateful for this opportunity to share with you my love/wisdom through the Natural Life News online magazine.

Peace, Joy and Blessings to You Throughout the New Year!

Kuan Yin on Mercy, Forgiveness and the Bodhisattva Path
by David Christopher Lewis, with 15 Illustrations by David Keil

Kuan Yin shares her wisdom and love to move us forward to walk the bodhisattva path and fulfill our divine mission on Earth. She speaks of the grace and compassion of mercy, of how mercy is the greatest form of justice and how to accept the flame of mercy in our hearts as a transformative power and life-changing virtue.

“Mercy is required for true healing at all levels of consciousness. The mercy flame impels each being to see the divine within all. The voice of mercy-peace will help end war upon Earth even while merciful, compassionate communication is key to ending all conflict.”

Within these sixty poignant messages, Kuan Yin unveils for all the mystical path of mercy, bodhicitta and bodhi-sattva love. You do not have to be a Buddhist to enjoy the Presence and powerful radiance of Avalokitesvara—another name for beloved Kuan Yin.

The books mentioned here and much more are available at the Alchemy Exchange Bookstore in Livingston, MT, or from their Hearts Center Online Store. Also available at Amazon.com.

Partnerships in the Age of Aquarius

Books & Teachings to Assimilate & Become!

Raymond Ziemkowski
Nov – Dec 2023 • Vol 4, No 7

Partnerships in the Age of Aquarius

Books and Teachings that Are Ushering in the Age of Aquarius—
Meant to Be Read and Reread, to Assimilate and Become!

In the Age of Aquarius, toxic and worn out hierarchical structures, which are based on authoritarian fear and control paradigms, will be replaced by partnerships. We see this in many new ways and teachings that have emerged in recent years and within our lifetimes.

Without question, hierarchical structures are part of the fabric of Creation. It is also without question that toxic, authoritarian, hierarchical structures are a part of our collective “human creation” and the collective mess that we have made of our planet!

Our understanding and attitudes about organizational structures are at the core of our transition to new possibilities in Aquarius. Central to this shift is the understanding that the spiritual sovereignty of the individual is the foundation upon which any collective can be truly successful. Our individual spiritual sovereignty must be acknowledged, understood, and championed within organizations, institutions and governments of our world.

Marshal Rosenberg’s books on Nonviolent Communication, move us from typically authoritarian communication modes into a heart-centered space of empathy and respect that honors each individual’s voice and needs. Mastering deep listening skills, learning how to make observations without judgment, how to communicate our feelings, and to make clear requests will transform our relationships, our communities, and the planet.

Conscious Language, The Logos of Now, by Robert Tennyson Stevens, teaches us the language of the adept. We learn how to speak, how to form out intentions and words: first-person-personal, conscious-creative and outcome-oriented. The “Word” is a creative force and our subconscious mind works overtime to create exactly what we speak! Mastering thirteen domains of speech that can self-sabotage positive outcomes, can transform our lives from lack and want into prosperity and abundance.

Personal ownership is at the core of our mastery and initiation on the spiritual path. Numerous books on Ho’oponopono, including The Book of Ho’oponopono, The Hawaiian Practice of Forgiveness and Healing, by Bodin, Lamboy and Graciet, give us a framework to practice radical ownership and radical forgiveness, to transmute our karmic entanglements in the material world and forge our self-mastery.

David Spangler’s autobiographical book, Apprenticed to Spirit, shares valuable insights into new frontiers of partnerships and spirituality emerging today. His life story chronicles the emerging New Age in the 1960s and his participation in the early years of the Findhorn Foundation spiritual community and his partnership with Spirit throughout his adult life. His journey is our journey, as we champion a culture of blessing and honoring the God within each other and shed paradigms of labeling, judgement, justification and blame.

We are emerging from a period of extreme separation and duality on Earth. A collective and personal narcissism has eclipsed our experience and connectedness with our Source and the greater evolutionary emanations of life evolving both on our earth and throughout the greater creation of stars and planets of the cosmos.

Egocentric modes of interaction based on separation, fear, lack and competition serve the status quo of just that—separation, fear, lack and competition! Clearly our world requires a new model if we would truly create Heaven on Earth—as Above, so Below. Non-duality teachings challenge and dissolve every facet of human limitation and dysfunction that is born of any sense of separation.

Eckhart Tolle’s two epic books, Power of Now and A New Earth quicken our awareness to begin to discover the “observer within” and the “witnessing Presence” that is at the source of our Being.

Michael Singer’s trilogy of books, The Untethered Soul, The Surrender Experiment, and Living Untethered, teach us how to say “yes” to the present moment and embrace an accelerated spiritual growth, whatever life brings to our doorstep.

And if we choose to engage in a path of personal and planetary self-transcendence and service, Saint Germain on Advanced Alchemy, and Advanced Studies of the Human Aura, by David Christopher Lewis, provide a comprehensive framework to engage in our spiritual adeptship.

Our individual and collective remembering of our origins is shifting the axis of our awareness from a personal, separate, egocentric axis to a new axis that is based on partnerships and felt connections with all life. Our remembering is opening the door to new opportunities of Aquarian Love and Freedom.

I believe these books complement the ongoing and emerging culture of ownership and mastery through our personal Christ/Buddha self. And I invite you to read or reread and study these books and teachings on your path of self-realization.

All these books and much more are available at the Alchemy Exchange Bookstore in Livingston, MT, or their online store. (See ad on next page.)

Are Chemtrails Reel-able?

After My Fishing Expedition, Flyovers Beware!!

Raymond Ziemkowski
May – June 2023 • Vol 4, No 4

I was born and grew up in Montana. After living much of my adult life in the Los Angeles area, I recently retired and moved back to remote Montana. I am often asked what life is like on the mountain, and if I miss California.

Well, my favorite response is, I can get up in the morning and fly fish in the Yellowstone River from my front porch! What could be better than that?

And on a clear sunny morning, I can see the splash of the fish jumping in the river. Never mind that my porch and Paradise Valley mountainside home is three miles away from the Yellowstone River, as the crow flies, and 1100 feet above the valley floor!

Now, if you are not familiar with fly fishing, the idea is to whip your pole and line forward, and just before the line is about to fall on the ground, you whip it back behind your head. Letting out some more line in the process. And when it is about to fall on the ground behind you, you whip it again in front of you, letting out more line again.

You keep repeating that, until you have just enough line out to land the fly at the end of the line exactly where you want it to land on the river surface where the fish might be.

Well, as you might imagine, with three miles between my front porch and the Yellowstone River, that is a lot of fishing line to reel out and to keep track of and keep in the air, all while whipping it back and forth to get that fly just where you want it to land on the river.

The other day as I was looking up in the sky and following the lines path behind my head to the right, I saw in my peripheral vision, off to the left, the end of a chemtrail that was just about to disappear.

Without thinking, I whipped my fishing pole forward and back two times, letting out more line and changing the direction to the left. I then whipped the pole as hard as I could toward the chemtrail and caught the tail end of it. The leader wrapped around the chemtrail and held fast, so I started to reel it in.

What I didn’t consider, was that the chemtrail was still attached to the jet at the other end. The chemtrail, being pulled from both ends simultaneously, was quickly being pulled tighter and tighter, like a super stretched bungy cord.

It became thinner and tighter and thinner and tighter, until I realized that I didn’t have a fish but had caught a jet on the other end of the line!

Well, it took me nearly half a day to reel that jet in, until it was about three football fields from my porch. But just when I began to think about how I would get the jet into my net, it got away.

I’m not sure if the line broke or the jet just let go because he was low on fuel. But off it went, making a hard right in the direction of California. That’s where, I hear, there is a chemtrail operation at the China Lake Naval Base.

After that pilot tells his buddies about almost being caught, such as he nearly was, I don’t expect any chemtrails over Paradise Valley any more. And I sure won’t miss them!

All those hours reeling in that jet left me reel-ly hungry. Really! And fortunately for me, my wife, who was making gluten-free blueberry pancakes for breakfast, just kept stacking them up all day. So, the rest of the afternoon I feasted on blueberry pancakes while appreciating the view of the Paradise Valley and the Yellow-stone River and thinking about that catch that got away.

Oh…. I’m also thinking that I might get myself a bigger reel for my fishing pole, just in case any more spy balloons pass over Montana. If those guys in Washington had half a cent of sense, they would put a bounty on those balloons and let us Montanans take care of them!

The New Aquarian Ten Commandments—

Live Blessed by Heaven Daily as You Embrace These Iconic Guidelines

David Christopher Lewis
March – April 2023 • Vol 4, No 3

Hands and flash with religious symbols and universe background

We’ve all heard of the Ten Commandments given to Moses on the mount. Originally, there were fewer commandments and, of course, the more commandments there are, the more we have to keep. Yet, the original, one commandment was to love God with our entire being. If we simply do that and follow the Golden Rule, we will fulfill the law and manifest our divinity. So, what other commandments do we really require?

We’d like to offer for consideration The Hearts Center’s New Aquarian Ten Commandments, along with a brief explanation for each one.

I. Love and praise God with your entire being!
We love God with our whole heart, mind, strength and soul, and praise God through song, chant, affirmation and power prayers.

II. Radically forgive everyone for everything!
True and complete forgiveness releases us from karmic entanglements. Forgiving self and other is a dynamic spiritual practice that gets us right with God.

III. Pray and sing your prayers joyfully without ceasing!
Continuous joyous prayer and devotion seals our aura in divine light. Raising our voice to acknowledge and reverence God secures our divine estate in heaven.

IV. Serve and give selflessly every day!
Dedicated giving of Self impels us to be a co-creator with God. To advance, evolve and grow in grace, be a humble servant-leader sharing love to all.

V. Keep your harmony and avoid reactivity.
God-mastery occurs through remaining in a unity field of peaceful presence. Nonjudgment of others allows us to enjoy the life God intended for us.

VI. Avoid all gossip, maintain a happy disposition, and don’t complain about anything.
A heightened attitude of gratitude expands our heart and keeps us secure in the light. Righteous speech aligns us with the Logos, the Word of God in our Christic Self.

VII. Keep positive, compliment, bless, and encourage everyone.
Holding others in the light of their immaculate nature helps them to be their best. Our own aura shines brilliantly when the Holy Spirit moves through us to bless all life.

VIII. Be kind to all life forms, including yourself.
Loving-kindness quells violence and stymies war. The peaceable kingdom upon Earth is established by Compassion’s sacred touch.

IX. Follow the Golden Rule.
This one divine law is the maxim of planetary brotherhood/sisterhood. All past conflicts are resolved by following the voice and example of the Christ within.

X. Obey your Inner Guide and Guardian Angel immediately.
Our conscience is our sure guide to Self-mastery and perfection. God has provided us with an invisible protector, who is always watching over us.

I am imagining now—and I hope that you can see in your higher mind’s eye—a new world, an Aquarian world, where all of these New Aquarian Ten Commandments are honored and obeyed. Imagine, if every man, woman and child did so, we would have a divine world!

We have envisioned many, many aspects of what we desire to see in a golden-crystal age. What I consider these statements to be are very prototypical matrices that in and of themselves establish a divine principle, a divine value, a divine precept as a living reality in the atmosphere of the Earth, and especially within our own consciousness.

Each one is a divine prototype that we can follow. And it is obvious that when we do this, our lives will be sublime and everyone will be honored and blessed and cherished and loved, appreciated and valued. Then all the drama of karma, the negative karma, ceases. And what ensues is the peaceable kingdom, is the kingdom of God upon Earth.

What happens when we use these more positive words that are Aquarian words? It sets in motion a whole matrix where we leave behind lack and want and need, and we embrace all that is essential, all that is beautiful, all that is divine because we are in alignment with the Logos, the Word of God. We use our words judiciously, which means that we self-judge the words, even as or even before they are coming out of our mouths. So, we assess them. Are these words the words that I really choose to say into the atmosphere, to express into the world?

Words are realities, as we know, and thoughts are things. Words are even more physical things than thoughts, because we are anchoring them through our voice—the throat chakra, and bringing things into matter. So, words do matter because words become matter!

And, referring to another commandment: all lives matter! All lives are valuable. Every life is valuable as we heard in the 8th commandment, “Be kind to all life forms, including yourself.” What does it mean to be kind to yourself? It means to honor yourself, to encourage yourself, to be true to yourself, to follow your Divine Self rather than the lesser self.

Imagine each day loving and praising God with your entire being, radically forgiving everyone for everything, praying and singing your prayers joyfully without ceasing. In other words, your devotion to God is going on in your mind and in your heart even while you are doing other work. It continues as you serve and give selflessly.

And every day you are keeping your harmony and avoiding reactivity, avoiding all gossip. You are maintaining a happy disposition and not complaining about anything, even what’s going on in the world or the weather. You are keeping positive, complimenting, blessing and encouraging everyone.

It doesn’t matter who it is—everyone! You are kind to all life forms, including yourself, following the golden rule, and obeying your inner guide and guardian angel immediately.

When we embrace these iconic statements and live them, our communities will hum, our communities will grow. They will be blessed every day by heaven. Angels, archangels, seraphim, cherubim, thrones, dominions, virtues, powers, principalities—all these nine choirs will just be around us and emanate through us and co-create through us amazing alchemical works for the Age of Aquarius.

Our Hand Gestures Are Sacred—

Let’s Use Them More Consciously!

David Christopher Lewis
November – December 2022 • Vol 4, No 1

Our hands are sacred extensions of our hearts when we are involved in any loving activity that serves life and others. Consider the lesser-known chakras within our hands that are activated whenever we engage them in sacred work. Beautiful energies are emitted from them, which are a blessing and a boon. Our consciousness is extended through our arms, hands and fingers, which expand the reach of our heart chakra. They are close to the level of our heart chakra, so its energy can move through our arms, hands and fingers to help heal and benefit life.

Consider all the gestures that we make and the things that we do with our hands. We can choose to make these gestures much more consciously and often more slowly, as if engaging in Tai Chi or Qi Gong movements. What we put our attention upon, we become. We may engage with the Eternal Now by using our hands more reverently and holily, with honor, respect and conscious attention, because we are magnifying everything with the energies that flow through them.

Remain Heart-Centered & Healthy

Through Daily Meditation

David Christopher Lewis
September – October 2022 • Vol 3, No 123

When we enter into the stillness of our inner being and find the light of our Source present and centered there, that light is a witness to all that is vibrating throughout the cosmos. As we still our mind, our emotions, and our thoughts and feelings, we co-create with the Divine an intimate opportunity for communion of the highest order. We may experience an infusion throughout our being of that quiescent energy of Spirit. Spirit moves through us and all about us. The light affects the core of our being and leads us to Self-realization and enlightenment.

There are many forms that meditation can take. There are guided meditations, meditation in nature, walking meditation, meditation in complete silence. We can maintain a continuous level of meditation throughout the day in which we remain centered in our Divine Presence, being mindful and heart-centered and embodying love, peace and joy.

A Year-Round Greenhouse

Near Downtown Livingston, MT

David Christopher Lewis
July – August 2022 • Vol 3, No 122

With our economy experiencing high inflation as food, gas, utilities and other consumer goods skyrocket, it’s a great time to grow food locally on our own properties. In addition to saving money, eating fresh produce provides a much healthier alternative to the equivalent grown in other states or countries.

In 2018, my wife Mona secured funding through grants and donations (via our 501c3, Paradise Permaculture Institute), to purchase from Four Season Tools Company what’s called a Rolling High Tunnel (RHT)—a greenhouse that can be moved on stationery rails to more than one position. In our case, the 30’ x 48’ RHT greenhouse we erected, from a kit with the help of a half-dozen friends, can now be moved by two to four people to three positions. This allows us to extend the growing season on both ends and grow hardy greens all through the winter!

Timeless Teachings of Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

One of the Great Spiritual Teachers of the 20th Century

David Christopher Lewis
January – February 2022 • Vol 3, No 119

Of all the more recent spiritual teachers who have promoted what I consider to be advanced teachings worthy of study and application as we strive to initiate the Age of Aquarius, Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov is probably the least known in the United States of America, yet also among the greatest of the 20th century. Born in 1900 in an area of Macedonia that is now part of Bulgaria, he met the Master Peter Deunov in 1917 and studied with him for 20 years before Deunov sent him to France in 1937 and before Bulgaria was overrun by the Nazis in World War II. Omraam delivered over 4500 talks over the next 49 years, passing from this world on Christmas Day in 1986. His teachings were given completely orally, yet have been transcribed and translated into over 40 languages and are primarily available in book form.

The Master, as he was called after returning from a year-long trip to India in 1959, during which he was given the name Omraam, promoted a natural and practical lifestyle that is rich in spiritual practices, including silent meditation at dawn before the sunrise, a vegetarian diet, singing prayerful songs, working closely with nature, and communing with divine spirits. Among these are numerous angels, who can inspire disciples to understand the holy sciences and the arts of conscious living. His talks were sublime and poignant to meet the challenges of his time, as well as now and are replete with practical wisdom that only a true sage can deliver.

Mother Earth’s Inherent Wisdom

Near Downtown Livingston, MT

David Christopher Lewis
November – December 2021 • Vol 3, No 118

It is surely an interesting time to be alive and to experience the changes that are occurring across our planet! Even with government mandates initiated on a massive scale to limit our personal health choices—seemingly for the common welfare of all citizens—more information is available than ever before to awaken us to new possibilities for our optimal spiritual, as well as physical, emotional, and mental well-being. The greater the governmental, medical, or media establishment’s measures to control our options, the greater the push-back from concerned and enlightened citizens, who have often been on the forefront of offering new, nature-based wellness modalities that utilize Mother Earth’s inherent wisdom.

With a team of Aquarian visionaries, I opened The Alchemy Exchange store in Livingston, Montana in 2013. We offer numerous wellness products, many of which are infused with frequencies that are beneficial to our inner and outer health and wholeness. I’d like to highlight a few of these products that my wife and I personally use in our home or that others who I know have felt tangible benefits when using them. For the holidays, you may want to “gift yourself” or a loved one with something from our store that resonates with you.

We All Need “Light on the Path”

& “Love on the Path Home”

David Christopher Lewis
July – August 2021 • Vol 3, No 116

This wonderful magazine shares fantastic articles from health-conscious practitioners and advocates across Montana. We all desire to make a difference by both practicing and promoting lifestyles and modalities that honor the image and likeness in which our Creator has fashioned us—what “nature intended.” Through our own experiences and that of others, we’ve learned that when we move afield from our intended pathway by ingesting unnatural, chemically altered, modified, or biologically manipulated foods, drinks, and drugs, or when we engage in risky or dark behaviors and activities, our bodies, minds and spirits suffer, which allows disease or depressed states to set in.

Conversely, when we return to living as close to nature as possible—eating organically grown fruits, berries, melons, nuts, seeds, vegetables and herbs (preferably local and fresh), and when we act with loving-kindness, our bodies respond and restore us to health, vitality and well-being.
