To Each of You---

Yesterday was a day I will be focused upon for a very long time. The entire day was

spent in and around Haifa Israel---on the Mediterranean Sea. This is a city where

the Arab population and the Jewish population have a copacetic relationship. This is the

city that sits on Mt Carmel where the Essene community of Jeshua's existence occurred.

The Bahai faith based on Unity is also here. Soon, I'll be including or directing you to a different link for pictures where your own eyes can see.

What we found yesterday was the early Carmelite order which developed out of the Essenes. In their emblem we find both the Star of David and the Cross. We have literally experienced the segue of the Hebrews and early Christians. There is much more to tell---please revisit my blog each day to discover more of our journey.

With Great Luv, Linda

Israel Travelogue - October 12, 2009

Hello--

As a group of 12---we begin our Israel tour today.   

Please send us love and blessings, as we send the same to you.

Here is our itinerary for today.   We leave the modern Israeli city of only about 100 years time to move northward.  

Our first stop is in Cesearea build by Herod to honor Caesar.  

Caesarea is believed to have been built on the ruins of Stratonospyrgos (Straton's Tower), founded by Straton I of Sidon. It was probably an agricultural storehouse in its earliest configuration.^[2] In 90 BCE, Alexander Jannaeus captured Straton's Tower as part of his policy of developing the shipbuilding industry and enlarging the Hasmonean kingdom. Straton's Tower remained a Jewish city for two generations, until the Roman conquest of 63 BCE when the Romans declared it an autonomous city.

The pagan city underwent vast changes under Herod the Great, who renamed it Caesarea in honor of the emperor. In 22 BCE he began construction of a deep sea harbor and built storerooms, markets, wide roads, baths, temples to Rome and Augustus, and imposing public buildings.^[3] Every five years the city hosted major sports competitions, gladiator games, and theatrical productions.

Caesarea also flourished during the Byzantine period. In the 3rd century the Jewish sages exempted the city from Jewish commandments as by this time the majority of the inhabitants were non-Jewish.^[4] The city was chiefly a commercial centre relying on trade. The area was only seriously farmed during the Rashidun Caliphate period, apparently until the Crusader conquest in the eleventh century.^[4] Over time, the farms were buried under the sands shifting along the shores of the Mediterranean.

In 1251, Louis IX fortified the city. The French king ordered the construction of high walls (parts of which are still standing) and a deep moat. However strong the walls were, they could not keep out the sultan Baybars, who ordered his troops to scale the walls in several places simultaneously, enabling them to penetrate the city.

Following this we go to Megiddo:

Megiddo was a site of great importance in the ancient world, as it guarded the western branch of a narrow pass and an ancient trade route which connected the lands of Egypt and Assyria. Because of its strategic location at the crossroads of several major routes, Megiddo and its environs have witnessed several major battles throughout history. The site was inhabited from approximately 7000 BC to 586 BC (the same time as the destruction of the First Israelite Temple in Jerusalem by the Babylonians, and subsequent fall of Israelite rule and exile). One of its claims to importance is the fact that since this time it has remained uninhabited, thereby preserving the ruins of its time periods pre-dating 586 BC without newer settlements disturbing them.

Megiddo is mentioned in Ancient Egyptian writings because one of Egypt's mighty kings, Thutmose III, waged war upon the city in 1478 BC. The battle is described in detail in the hieroglyphics found on the walls of his temple in Upper Egypt. Named in the Bible Derekh HaYam (Hebrew: דרך הים‎), or "Way of the Sea," it became an important military artery of the Roman Empire and was known as the Via Maris.

Finally---we will overnight in Haifa.  My greatest interest is traveling to where Jeshua/Yeshua lived and studied in the Mt Carmel Essene community in Haifa.

Much more to come---but now the group is ready to leave.

With Luv and Light, Linda and travelers.

The Winds of Change

Dear Ones-

I'm wondering if you're feeling the winds of change? Even last night there were literally strong winds here in the Boulder CO area. I notice many of my fears surfacing and numerous nights with strong energetics that keep me from falling into sleep or remaining asleep.

I KNOW that we're feeling battered about as we are cleansed, shifted, altered, and prepped for the co-creation of the new humanity. You're probably like me, where at times the stresses and strains of this newness can be immensely challenging. Then I have the insight to KNOW that all is well and just as it needs to be---as we are climbing the mountain of the new world order.

Do not despair---brightness is definitely on the horizon. Now, I'm wondering-what are those of you reading this blog feeling??

with Great Luv, Linda

Preparing to Travel

Dear All,

It is Tuesday morning, and I have the feelings this morning of 

"preparing to travel" once again.   

In human reality I'll be traveling tomorrow evening to Los Angeles for a spiritual conference, presentations, a book-signing, and private clients.   

Yet, in spiritual truth we are all preparing to travel or are already traveling.

This is a high, exciting, and 'jumbled' time.   Please continue to hold on.  

We experienced a powerful full moon in Leo last evening with a lunar eclipse.  Even more, I believe energy is heightening moment by moment.  Each of you is a blessings to the universe.   You KNOW what is truth....that you are a soul traveling the pathway of humanness toward a destination that will hold bright Light and warmth.  Do not let the rocks in the road deter you.

Please honor and communicate with your guides, teachers, masters, and angels.  They are always present for you.

Many of you are tied into my new book that has just been published:

Bringing Your Soul to Light:  Healing through Past Lives and the Time Between

Honor the wisdom of past lives and the soul period.

With Great Luv and Blessing,   Linda

The Blessings of a New Year

Good Morning Everyone....

 

I would like to share with you a link to a powerful video that demonstrates the truth that We are All One.   

http://awakentv.ning.com/video/return-of-the-ancestors

As you know, the Hopi and the Maya are ancient cultures.   In this New Year 2009 we are offered the golden opportunity to release prejudice, hatred, marginalizing and come to accept that each of us is one and the same.   If you view others as 'siblings', no matter whether you are comfortable with their behavior or not,  your response to them will be more accepting.  

Very soon you will be receiving the next RavenHeartCenter newsletter (if you are not on the mailing list please contact me at Linda@RavenHeartCenter.com).   Our Jan/Feb newsletter will offer spiritual insight, as well as news of trainings, our October 2009 Spiritual Israel Tour, and other offerings.   

Let me close by saying that my book is now available for purchase.   You can go to:

www.BringingYourSoultoLight.com to order an autographed copy or www.Amazon.com for purchase.

May you be blessed in 2009....With Luv, L

Holiday Moods

It is the morning of December 25.   For many this is Christmas morning; for others it is the morning of day 5 of the 8 days of Hannukah; it is also Kwanza; and we are 4 days post Winter Solstice.  The beauty of lengthening days of greater light has begun.

During the last couple of days I can feel in my body, and in my emotions, that we're leading toward (notice I didn't say heading, because I truly believe that those of us reading this blog are 'leading'!) New Times.   These expansive times are a stretch for many.   Yet, I so believe that we'll find ourselves and more people coming to believe that we ARE a Soul having a human experience, one lifetime to the next.

I suspect you already feel a 'stretching' within yourself and in others.   Both in October and December I had a respiratory virus, of sorts.   The first 'illness' left me without my normal voice for weeks.....it was a great frustration to me.   Since I don't get sick very often, I knew there was something more happening than simply a garden variety virus.  Last week I had another 'head cold' with laryngitis.  "What's up?",  I said to myself.  With some fabulous healing herbs (WishGarden products from Boulder CO) and a nasal cleanse, Neti Pot, miraculously my voice was back in 48 hours, and I was on the mend.

I've also noticed a bit more agitation, especially at night.   This ALL tells me that I and we are being prepped for another heightening shift.  

So, hang on.....as I KNOW this is all good.  Surely, each of you knows the old phrase, "No Pain, No Gain".   Well, this is the case.  

If you just 'lead into' into the alteration and expansion of energy.....all will be well.   

This week I worked with three different clients who each needed a tune up!  For one, she was told that she is NOT from here, and her experience of dealing with life here is, at times, challenging, yet so very purposeful.  For another, we did some literal Soul Retrieval/energetic cleanse via the phone which brought forward a letting go of past hurt and trauma.  

Each of you is here at this time for very profound purpose.   Lead into that purpose, and you will continue to KNOW the why of your present life.

I wish each of you great Blessings of the Season.   Remember the Unity of Oneness that is shared by us All.

In Light and Luv, Linda

Connecting the Dots----in various ways

Hello Bryan and Violet!

How wonderful to find both of your comments....thank you.

I so believe that telling our own story provides a more in-depth understanding to others of who we truly are.  At the same time, we spark each other's spiritual process by sharing our experiences.

Violet, I visited your blog and discovered that you and I have both traveled to some amazing places in Scotland.   Simply by traveling to powerful locations on the planet can enhance our journey of awakening.  We attach to the energy of a 'place' where perhaps we've lived before.   I share your love of Iona....where I could have stayed for days.  For those of you who do not know.....the Isle of Iona in Scotland has a very ancient monastery where the mix of Celtic mysticism began to merge with early Christianity.  

To all of you reading this blog, please ask me any question.   No question is inappropriate or strange.   If you have the question on your mind, then I bet that others have the same question and hesitate to ask.   So, fire away!!

Have a lovely week as we build to Winter Solstice in just one week.

Many Blessings, Linda
