DJC: Well, ya can’t live without it. You can, but in the street.
DJC: It fits into what keyhole?
CZE: The etheric keyhole.
DJC: So, the key is a metaphor?
CZE: Sacred energy power spot.
DJC: Hmmm. That confirms the Divine Feminine. The ankh represents the key (penis) to the creation (womb).
CZE: The ankh is the penis + the uterus.
DJC: Yes. It represents the action between the two.
CZE: Yes, fucking is or should be called Ankhing.
DJC: Well, when it results in a child, it is ankhing. Otherwise, it is fucking.
CZE: No.
DJC: Ancestor. Fun.
CZE: (Disliked ‘Otherwise, it’s fucking’ and ‘Ancestor. Fun.’}
DJC: OK
CZE: This energy is not for fun.
DJC: It was for many. Still is.
CZE: That’s why the world is fucked up.
DJC: Agreed. Fucked up. Fucked out. Just fucked. I blame religion, politicians, celebrities, the media, social media, people. Errybody is complicit because WE are spirit having a human experience and that includes being attracted to other humans and desiring to fuck with them by any means necessary. This is where you choose to be kind or cruel, altruistic or stingy, a giver or a taker, just or unjust, fair or unfair, moral or immoral, honest or dishonest, light or dark, good or evil – in your relationship with others. This is where you are animalistic or humane – in your creation activities, while you are ankhing.
“Christed” is a term used to describe a state of consciousness or spiritual awakening where an individual fully embodies the qualities and teachings of Jesus Christ. It implies a deep connection with divine love, compassion, wisdom, and the ability to perform miraculous acts of healing and transformation. It is often associated with achieving enlightenment or attaining a Christ-like nature. [https://www.definitions.net/definition/Christed]
“During this attunement you will be guided to the Dimension of Christed Beings and introduced to the Masters who will watch over your progress and help you prepare to “serve” at a greater level.” [https://www.christaresources.com/becoming-a-christed-being.html]
What the attunement to the Christed Being Practice does instead is help you to reach and connect with a specific spiritual dimension and the group of beings who dwell there, namely the Christed Beings, who are souls who have attained full Christ Consciousness and who live and serve from that level of Consciousness.
When three dear friends slip away in less than two weeks, it makes you feel a certain kind of way. I spoke to two of them recently. The third, I watched as she fluttered from stage to stage like a butterfly. They were lovely women, loving, and caring for others. Their light shone in all of their photos. One was a Gemini, the second was Libra, and the third was a Leo.
This year, I commit to remaining open to learning new things. I will not focus on comparing myself with others but tilling and mining my own talents and purpose. I will learn how to disseminate the information I have gathered over the years to those who have an ear. I will be clear about my intention and act on the impulses that lead me on the right path for my life’s work.
Watch this video about what wealth is
What is wealth?
For me, wealth is family. I am the mother of two, grandmother of five, and great grandmother of nine. All of my children and their offspring are healthy and productive. That is wealth!
Since twenty-one, I studied metaphysics and that was fifty-four years ago! At five, I knew that I am special, connected to something higher. By twenty-one, I began my search for Divinity at the Theosophical Society in New York, numerous meditation centers in Florida, and a metaphysical center on a Swiss mountaintop. At every juncture, I learned about people and their relationship to the Divine, consciously linking their search for Divinity to my own.
My Catholic upbringing gave me food for thought because of my Cherokee, Arawak, and African heritage. In all my years at Catholic schools, I never saw a priest or nun of color, an affront to all children because children need to identify with their teachers and guides. Aside from the color dynamic, there was hellfire and brimstone, guilt trips and sin, the requirement for Catholic school students to attend church every day, and the outright hypocrisy of a clergy that smoked cigarettes, drank liquor, and did the things they told us not to do.
After I freed myself from Catholicism, a timely visit to a New Age bookstore led me to books about Yogi philosophy, the science of breath, and the mystics of Christianity, to name a few. These books showed me how to take control of my inner self and to avoid concerning myself with over-analyzing, criticizing, and coaching others.
While I gave my nine-year-old son the book, Yogi Philosophy, and I told others about the other books I read. However, I hesitate to take on the role of teacher, master, or guide because each of us is on her own journey to Divinity. When I explored Krishna Consciousness, I did not do handouts at the airport. I went to the temple in Philadelphia, wore a sari, participated in ritual, and ate food I loved. I read the Bhagavad-Gita and visited the shrine of Prabhupada in New York. I am Krishna Conscious, although I do not partake of the rituals.
From thirty to fifty, music was my Divine Expression. I sang for a living. I enjoyed performing and people let me know they enjoyed my work. My voice was a gift I had to use for good. After touring Europe for eight years, where I lived in a tiny room in a tiny Swiss town, I felt myself fulfilling my Divine purpose. Within twenty years of performance, I produced a compact disc, Feelin’ Good, and married a young Muslim husband! I was forty-five, fulfilled, and content.
Islam entered my life in 1976, through a group of musicians I worked with. They spoke some Arabic, followed the food regulations, and read the Koran. I read some, though not all. The musicians, all men, were respectful. I had two female Islamic friends. One was fanatical about the practices, while the other had a healthy relationship with Islam. She fed her children the right foods, prayed daily, and kept a clean Muslim home where people took their shoes off at the door.
After touring Europe as a jazz singer for five years, I met a Muslim man from The Gambia. We were married for five and we love each other. He changed my mind about men because he is gentle, non-assuming, private, humble, and clean. He works hard both at his job and at home. Other than my father, my Muslim husband is the only man I ever lived with who cleaned the floors every week, among other things. He amazed me! Being married to this man was pleasant, after having three husbands steeped in Western thought.
During this time, I also studied the Keys of Enoch. I cannot say I understand that book, but I learned about Merkabah Circle and other-dimensional travel. I’d been familiar with astral travel, since I was young, but the concept of the Merkabah came up later in a few New Age books I was reading.
As always, though, life offers many turns in the road we travel. After moving back to the States, where the exchange between artist and audience is not quite the same, I grew tired of entertaining people for a living, and searched for another means of expressing my inner self. I joined a group of artists in my community and helped found the African World Artists Collective of South Florida. I learned website design and made sites for the organization and some of its members, after which clients appeared who paid me to make their sites. A new business bloomed into being!
Eventually, with the money from my business, I opened an art gallery where we hold book signings, art receptions, and spiritual events. My partner, Omian, was a visionary who read and taught Tarot. We both aimed to enhance the lives of people visiting the gallery, and we were successful. I discovered Spirit Web with links to the books and names I was familiar with, including the Ascended Masters. I found Global Goddess by searching for Goddesses. In all of my searching, I concluded that I am a beacon for others to see the way; I am responsible for my own light; the brighter I shine from within, the more I encourage others to shine, which is my true purpose. I discovered that I am a work in progress, an energy storehouse, a keeper of the Light–a Lightworker.
But that’s not all I learned! For years, wise friends encouraged me to use affirmations. I read books on the subject and uttered affirmations, but I just didn’t get it until l wrote my own affirmations and my world become more positive. I realized that affirmations are simple thoughts spoken out loud about making the world a positive place.
Thirty-three journals were filled with affirmations I used to improve my world. As a co-creator with the Universe, I am happy to enlighten others and communicate with the enlightened. I feel blessed with abundance, strength, wisdom, joy, love and happiness. I feel fortunate, and I wish to assist others in attaining this state of being. I’m also grateful to Spirit for holding me in focus, so that I may see the fruits of my higher self’s labors.
With affirmations, I call on my Higher Self to supply my body with any and all things necessary for my well-being. I offer to the Divine all of my activities, my desires, my accomplishments, and dreams, that they may come to pass. I willingly accept the blessing of my Higher Self and of the Divine in which I partake so that I may fulfill my purpose in this existence. Here are some of my affirmations:
I affirm that the human soul evolves to the level of Co-creator with Higher Mind, so that each person on Earth receives light in great quantities to use for good. I do this in the names of my teachers and friends in Spirit!
Today, I call on Spirit to uplift the entire human race to greater heights of understanding, love, joy, grace, purity, happiness, harmony, freedom, enlightenment, peace, victory, success, abundance, creativity and cooperation.
I offer my services for the fulfillment of the Divine Plan everywhere.
I bring to those I encounter the message of oneness, perfection, grace, love, peace, joy, abundance and of their ability to participate in these gifts. I energize those working to eliminate poverty, hunger, disease, and ignorance of Spirit without judgment or conquest.
I call on all Lightworkers to mobilize, to move forward with the plan of enlightening every living being to the beauty of discipleship and service.
I call on the Divine to pour grace and light upon the planet now and always for humanity’s well-being, love, and fulfillment.
I demand that the appetites of human beings for oneness, unity, and cooperation be quenched daily.
I send energy to all Lightworkers, including my family members, my friends, and those whom I will meet.
I affirm that I am a blessed being and thank the Divine for guiding me lovingly back to my true self!
I am at peace with the purity of my Higher Self.
It’s taken me decades to understand that I do not have to do anything. My duty is being. I feel joyful that I am a Lightworker, My discipleship led me to love myself as one with the Divine and trust that the love in my heart will draw to me all that I desire and that it will become manifest in the world.
This power of affirmation is the gift I give to you, my readers. I believe Divinity is filled with the energy to manifest any and all desires of our higher selves and, in concert with my higher self, I will all life to be at peace, and purified by Spirit. I call to the Universe and demand all the things I need to fulfill my higher purpose as a Lightworker–from this day forward, until the end of time.

Today’s Vision/Intention was contributed by Bea van Wierst who apologizes for her English since her native language is Dutch. To us, however, it is clear, inspiring and heartfelt – and we love it! Bea says:It is my intent to be the Pillar of Light which I have promised to be, and believed to be able to be, and for which I am here right now.
It is my intention to receive the light and love from Archangel Metatron, lord of light; from Archangel Michael, lord Melchizedeck, Mahatma, Sananda and Kuthumi, from St. Germain, lady Nada, lady Faith, Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, Quan Yin; from the light beings of Sirius, of the Pleiades, of Arcturius, from Maitreya, Babaji and from all light beings who want to and can pass their light and love to me and through me.
It is my intention as an instrument and channel to pass the light and love to Gaia, Mother Earth, and all people on Earth. In order to contribute in bringing all darkness and all low and dark energy frequencies up to the light. Around me and inside me.
It is my intention to transform all thoughts and beliefs to a high frequency level, so that my -our- pineal gland can and will secrete the substances allowing the bridge to the pituitary gland to open and by this the road opens to spirit, the I Am, also known as the Holy Spirit, the Christ Consciousness, Buddha Consciousness or Being. In this way I -and we- can go beyond programmed beliefs and the ego-personality and be in unity with the divine. In this way I can and we can give expression to my-our divine self here on Earth exactly in the way it is intended.
It is my intention to rise above all duality and to think outside the box of pre-programmed thinking. To no longer blame something outside me in duality. To no longer blame someone or something or other people in the outside world for how my life and how life in general unfolds. It is now my intent to take responsibility for all my creations and for All of Creation.
It is my intention to see that everything in this earthly life has had and has the purpose to find God in me again. I intend to embrace love, peace, silence, joy and gratitude in all my being. And to serve the Highest and Best Good of the Universe, of myself, and everyone around.
I forgive myself that previously I wasn’t able to turn around the key of the bridge to the Self. And now it is my intention as a Pillar of Light to place all the dark and evil in light and love, outside me as well as inside me; and to see no more distinction and separation, because we are One. “So be it and so it is.”

Why North Carolina? Many family and friends asked me this question.
My great grandmother Maria Davis left a small parcel of land to her daughter, Harriet Maude Logan Galloway. When Maude died, she left the tax bill to my mother, Charlotte Galloway Cartwright. When Charlotte died, I paid the tax bill from 1987 until 2020, when my daughter, Mimi Johnson, took it over.
Mimi hired three lawyers in Asheville, NC, to get the deed in my name. The first two failed and she demanded her retainer back. She got it from both of those male lawyers. Then, she hired a woman lawyer who GOT IT DONE. After 34 years of paying taxes on land that was not in my name, it is in both of our names, now.
My grandparents, Isaac Lincoln Galloway and H. Maude Galloway lived in Philadelphia and had two daughters, June and Charlotte. Maude’s parents were from Greenwood, SC, while the Galloways hailed from Asheville. My grandfather died when my mother was a little girl and his family was not close to my grandmother and her two daughters.
The only connection we had was this piece of land in Asheville. But it is too small to build a traditional home on, so we researched tiny houses. The land we bought in 2020, in Clarendon, Columbus County, North Carolina, was shown to us by the realtor who closed the property deal for my friends Mike and Pattie. Mimi and I got our land located 21 miles away from Mike and Pattie. It’s beautiful and we should be living there by July 1, 2022.
On Memorial Day, May 31, 2022, I rode from Boynton Beach, Florida to Clarendon, North Carolina, in a 26-foot U-Haul truck filled with my earthly goods . Our new homestead is 9.5 acres with 3.5 acres of woods cleared. The other six acres surround the cleared portion. My plan includes a shed (10×16) and a barn (16×40) that is built out into a tiny house. My daughter will join me and build her house by the Fall.
This might sound like an easy plan but it is not for several reasons.
Due to the pandemic, building supplies are in demand and prices skyrocketed.
Due to the damage done by storms in North Carolina, the building codes changed to fortify tiny houses, manufactured houses, and regular buildings. Each service requires a permit (building, septic, electric, plumbing). Therefore, the house needs cement footers and special insulation. SMH
The electrical inspection was postponed because of SER wire that was not available this week but miraculously showed up at LOWE’s today (Saturday). Somehow, I’m not feeling this but what can you do?
The upside is that I am living in a beautiful home with friends who built their home and understand my plight. I had to move out of my apartment in Boynton Beach because the owners wanted to renovate. They waited since October for me to move. That was when I should have moved but there were complications with the manufactured home I ordered a year ago. First, it was supposed to be delivered by October, then, February, then March. It was delivered May 18, a week after I requested my refund and decided to go another way with the urethane barn.
So, here I am in North Carolina, waiting for my tiny house to be completed by July 1st, TRUSTFULLY.
There are blessings all around. I love the country roads and green fields and trees. It’s been hot (90-100) but that’s what I loved about Florida. Of course, there is no sea breeze here but it’s cool and lovely most evenings. So, we can sit out on the patio and enjoy the night air.
What is different is that my Florida apartment, where I lived for the past four years, was adjacent to the wall at I-95. When my house was closed up, it was quiet. However, when the doors and windows were open, I heard every bus, truck, and automobile that sped by. Also, I had the majestic sea breeze coming from the ocean that was less than a mile from my apartment complex.
Here in the country, I sleep soundly. The quiet is blissful and I am enjoying it to the fullest. Two dogs live here. They are so loving. Mother, Roxy, and son, Blue, are always licking my feet and pressing for affection. I love them. They calm my nerves, until they start rough-house playing.
Roxy and Blue are so loving.
On the health tip, I have challenges. On June 9, I woke up with a bloodshot eye. I thought it was pink eye and rushed to the emergency room at the county hospital. I sat there for 6 hours waiting to see a doctor. But it was worth the time. I did not have pink eye. It shows up outside the eye, not in the pupil.
The real reason for me being in the hospital was a chronic pain in my back caused by a cist pushing on my spine at L13-14, according to the MRI I had two weeks before I moved from Florida. My doctor looked at the report the week before I left and explained that I would need to have it removed, if I wanted to stop the pain in the back of both of my legs. Luckily, I had the foresight to change my healthcare plan from Florida to North Carolina before I moved.
This past week, I visited my primary doctor, who prescribed pain medicine that is not as strong as the oxycodone they prescribed at the hospital. Two nurses jabbed me in my shoulders, simultaneously, with steroids and a pain killer. YIKES! Amazingly, after 10-15 minutes, I could walk and dance!
I felt great for the next week because the steroid system and oxycodone abated my pain. But, ooooooh, when the medicine wore off, the pain made me cry a few times. I am not used to taking pain pills. But this pain needs to be controlled. So, I am taking another pain medicine, Tramadol, which does not work as long as the Oxycodone but is not as addictive. Woozy is the word of the month!
On Tuesday, June 21, I go to Emerge Orthopedic in Wilmington, NC, to be examined by the orthopedic doctor. I need to be admitted and operated on, immediately. This pain is no fun and I do not need to be in pain any more. It will be wonderful if they can remove the cist with a laser treatment that is not as invasive as cutting.
Today, so many signs pointed to things that I am grateful and appreciative of and for.
I have money to buy groceries and pay bills.
