Every school day, I drive through neighbourhoods which house huge paired electrical towers. Those towers stride through subdivision after subdivision. Some thoughtful company paved a strolling path between these towers so that nearby residents can take walks with their children and pets. Are they insane?
When I was a young teenager in Quebec, a new subdivision was put in near my high school with underground electrical power. Everyone, even the kids at school talked about how much better it would be and how much safer it would be. If, even as kids we knew so many moons ago, about the dangers of the towers, why are they still being put up? Surely the power companies and governments must know! Why build near those towers?
Recently, a community in Edmonton protested those towers being built near them. Did the government listen? Of course not! Did the electrical company listen? Never!
When I moved to Toronto in the sixties, I had a friend who lived in a new subdivision, Bridlewood, which had towers striding through the middle of her subdivision. We could see the fields with the towers through her living room window. Years later, Bridlewood was assessed with having the highest rate of leukemia in Canada.
So I decided to ask the Angels for their impression.
We are here, ready and interested. Yes indeed, those towers cause a disturbance in the auric field which in turn creates problems with the physical body. To be exposed as all humans are to house electricity, does cause a block in the intuitive processes; not to mention radiation which is emitted from televisions and computers. It would do some good for the ‘civilized’ world to have power outages for extended periods of time.
However, living close to those lines of towers and strolling on the man-made paths will take its toll, causing many auric disturbances eventually manifesting in physical illnesses. There have been many homes across North America built near towers. The power companies and governments are aware of the negative effects.. The bottom line (for them) is money. Those with money get more if they want more. The towers are never built near the homes of the rich and well connected, only for those unknowing and trusting. There is plenty of evidence as to why the towers should not be built close to growing families. So much needs to change. The public needs to know that corporations and governments do not usually have the interests of the little guy.
Do not live near, but especially do not allow your children to be near the power towers. Children are hit harder and faster. Do not allow the government with its connections to do what is unhealthy for you.
We do love you and encourage you to follow your heart. If something feels wrong, check it out. It probably is wrong.
Thank you angels

Being Gay, Angelic Take
We are here and happy to discuss what we notice and observe.
Human beings have separated themselves into them and us: male, female, black, white, this religion versus that religion, this country versus that country, married versus unmarried etc. With all that separation comes judgements, rules, and restrictions on and on.
The bottom line is really love. Who loves another and the love is returned equally, is lucky, lucky, lucky!!!!
It matters little what race, religion, culture or sex, love is love. Where love is, compassion, thoughtfulness, consideration and acceptance abound. When in love, souls are tender, nicer and more compassionate with others. Everyone wins!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where love is outlawed is surely a soul test. For each soul will come with its own challenges and rewards. The biggest challenge is acceptance. The biggest reward is love.
Love is all that should count. When love is missing, violence, harshness and cruelty can slide right in. Is not the world better off if more are allowed to love who the heart is attracted to? Everyone will benefit.
Some souls choose to go the gay route and often it is not so gay. Families, friends and strangers present judgements and thus obstacles, even though it is NOT their life to judge, yet they do! Dissatisfied with their own, it appears.
Happiness does not exclusively belong to so-called heterosexual couples and yet these ‘straight’ people have decided it does. Quite ridiculous, yet fairly common on this earth.
All beings have a spirit with a heart and soul. Feelings come with every soul. What person feels it is his right to decide what is best for another soul, based on colour, religion or sex? ---- An unhappy one!
For those struggling to be accepted, accept yourself first. Then the world will open to others to accept you. Be open, generous and err on the compassionate side. All of you deserve to live and be loved, all--- every man, woman and child, equally.
Do not attempt to block or hurt another because of intolerance. Be an example of love, only love can make great positive changes. Acceptance is key. Get rid of judgements. Pay attention to intuition and be free with love.
We understand how difficult this can be, but it is essential for spiritual growth and happiness, right here, right now. We love you for never giving up. That is bravery!!!!!!!!!!!!
Judgements, tension, anger, guilt and shame all go back into the body and can result in physical problems such as cancer. What you give out does come back. Love has a great return.

PAST LIVES
Alrighty then! What is the big hullabaloo about reincarnation? It happens. We have lived before. Buddhism, one of the most compassionate religions and hence a wise one, accepts reincarnation as a fact of life. When I became aware of past lives, it made such sense to me. Where do little geniuses come from? A so called innocent with no prior knowledge all of a sudden can play an instrument at a very young age. Where did that come from? Why are some of us born poor, rich, malnourished, homeless, athletic, smart, dumb, healthy, crippled, male, female, developmentally delayed, a genius, brown, black, white red or yellow? Does only one life make sense? I mean really, now!
I began to see past lives superimposed onto strangers when I was attending the University of Calgary in the eighties. I was getting a degree in Education and was meeting a lot of people daily. My friends and I discussed Astrology, reincarnation, psychic experiences and anything else that was interesting. My friends began to become more psychic and I began to see past lives with every person I was introduced to. Because I was not shy about stating my impressions or intuitive thoughts, I would tell the person I had just met. In fact, my friends began saying, “Maggie! What did you see?”
The very interesting thing was that habits and interests that attracted this stranger showed themselves in the past lives that I picked up! For example, one woman I saw had been a dancer in a harem in one life and stoned in another for speaking up against injustice. Now these are only two that I saw, but these two had affected her life. She brought fears and talents into this life as a result of those two. When I did her chart, many more lives showed themselves, but those two were strongly exhibited to me. In this life, Kari was very afraid of giving her opinion. She kept quiet. She also showed dancing talent when she was very young and her parents put her in dancing lessons as a child which she still participated in.
Check out your children, they often show strong fascination with unusual subjects. My oldest child could draw very well and constantly drew military operations, especially with knights, shields and planes. I picked out 17 names as possibilities when I was pregnant with him. I left the list at home when I went to the hospital. After he was born, I asked my husband to find the list so we could try the names on for size. However, one name had haunted me from the beginning and when Bruce (my husband) could not find my list, we chose the one that had stayed in my head. So my son Lance is now in England. His hobby is sword-fighting at castles throughout the summer. He is in a re-enactment group. He looks like a knight and acts like one.
My whole point is to tell you about some of the past lives that I have seen with my special needs children and adults I have met and worked with. Okay, I worked in a day program with adults who displayed many different kinds of disabilities, physical, mental and emotional. Sometimes all disabilities showed and sometimes not. Some were autistic, verbal and non-verbal, brain-damaged, deaf and mentally challenged and /or physically, some were in wheelchairs, although most could walk. There were adults with brain damage from accidents or born like that, schizophrenics with other problems as well, and some Down syndrome adults. Anyway, walking into a room full of these different souls was fun. I would begin to see past lives with the noisy clients.
When a being decides to come back into a special needs body, whether it happens at birth or later, there are reasons. Much can be gained from inhabiting one of these bodies, especially spiritually. Those who volunteer to be in bodies which do not respond well are there because they want to make a difference and spread compassion. Hence those souls are usually positive and kind. The ones who fight their existence in this life can be very difficult to interact with. They were likely ‘encouraged’ to enter their maimed body to learn what was needed to learned, but are not happy. However, music makes them all happy. Have you ever been in a room with 500 ‘disabled adults with great, dancing rock music? The dance floor fills up quickly with gyrating bodies and not one soul cares who is watching. They all dance their hearts out. It’s a great sight!!
This was my first day in the downstairs day program. The building was two floors and today I would be downstairs with a lot of non-verbal adults. They needed greater supervision and the ratio of staff to clients was often one to one or one to two. Upstairs, the staff ratio could be one staff to three or four clients.
When I first walked in, there were two rooms with about twenty clients. Then I saw Kay, who was dressed in green. With her black, shiny short hair and dark eyes, she looked quite pretty and then Kay had a fit! A low growling started in her throat and she began biting her left arm, sinking her teeth over and over until a staff stopped her. Kay was angry and tried to fight the staff to get back to biting her arm. A past life as a woman in a rich and influential family showed. She was beautiful, spoiled, heartless and cruel. Those who tended to her every whim were subjected to harsh punishment for any perceived transgression. Little Kay had people beaten, tortured and killed. She listened to one but her own selfish urges. Now Kay could hurt no one but herself. Kay had been institutionalized at a young age. Her mother could not handle her and left the province to live in the U.S.
Then there was Garrett who lived in a wheel chair. He could not say words, just sounds, except for ‘Hi there’. He had all kinds of problems including cerebral palsy. Garrett’s forehead was also slightly elongated. The first time I had Garrett for the day, I was told, he was quite happy but laughed at nothing a lot. Garrett was about 21 and could not even feed himself but what a great kid!! I looked where he looked and watched his reactions to people carefully. Friendly staff and kids got’Hi there’, others got nothing. He laughed at funny interactions between others, not at nothing. Garrett was a loveable sweet young man. His presence brightened my day. The last time I saw him, I took Garrett for a ride and I parked the wheelchair to talk to him while we watched the planes come into the airport (which was close). Garrett began to cry and I knew he was going to die soon, so I told him what a wonderful soul he was. He responded by watching me and I knew he knew he would not be here much longer. Garrett had agreed to be put into this body, this prison of his. He had a few past lives as a soldier that I could see. Garrett did die a few months later, although I never did see him again.
There was also a young man, the same age as Garrett with the same problems and non-verbal too. Reese was nice looking but moody and unhappy most of the time. I never worked with him but I saw a rich pampered life before this life. He shunned those who were not perfect and his personal judgements on those who were not up to his status, were cutting and intolerant. What a difference!!!
A fourteen year old teenager on my bus was from India in another life. I saw him wearing white, his clothes, his turban, even his surroundings were white. Everyone listened to his every word whether he was foolish or not. He had position and money. Now he is on a special needs bus and has trouble relating to his peers. This boy, Ryan , wants a lot of attention. When he sings, he wants people to tell him what a great singer he is. He will sing even though the person next to him tries to ignore him or the kids on the bus tell him to stop. Often he will say mean things to others in a whisper, which I have addressed. Having a life where everyone hangs on to your every word is unrealistic and now Ryan still wants to be important. I told him that since he was born with three sisters, he must study them if he wants to figure out women. He likes girls but can be rude and mean with his comments. His reaction is ‘What? What?’ when I call him on his comments.
Another fourteen year old is very aggressive if called on his behaviour. I saw him in France where he had been a thug. He stole, lied and fought for a living, killing a few people along the way. Now he is probably FAS. Mason lies at the drop of a hat, his Dad even asked me about something Mason had lied about and I could see his Dad’s frustration. Mason is better, but he is the only one who was verbally aggressive with me, yes, swearing to show his contempt when I called him on his actions.
I heard a rumour that many of the top military people in Israel are re-born ex-nazis. It certainly makes sense. Whatever you hate, you become. The Nazis were known for their obsession with the Jews. No wonder, Israel lacks the compassion they once had.
Hate no one because all you are doing is hating yourself.
What about being gay? Does it not seem obvious that some men have been women before? Please!!! All you have to do is watch “Queer Eye for The Straight Guy’. Alternately, it seems obvious that some women have been men. We all change sexes if we have something to learn and something to gain. Appreciate everyone, for whoever you hate you will return to experience what you handed out. Gay marriage, why not? Love is love and that’s all that counts.
Why are we so judgemental with anyone who seems different or unusual? We must appreciate what is unique about each of us.
We really get away with nothing, so I would rather do good stuff. That feels better when it returns. Be happy being you or you will never like anyone else. Negative, miserable people are energy drainers and end up alone. Misery loves company, but no one likes miserable company. I prefer the company of positive, cheerful, funny people. How about you?

Coordinated by Mandi Lockley, the 17 articles in the Saturn collection will help you work with a variety of Saturnian issues. Experienced astrologers invite you to view Saturn not as a planet to be feared, but as a necessary, helpful teacher whose lessons can help you through life’s challenges.

Online starting Sunday, March 21, 2010: Uranus in Aries: Claiming a Self-Reliant Future ~ Unpredictable Uranus is ending his sojourn in Pisces and will soon enter irascible Aries. Following a period of reluctantly dealing with the real world, Uranus steps up to proclaim personal freedom. This is not the freedom bell that Uranus usually rings for everyone, but the unabashed self-proclamation of "My Rights, Every Day!" Coordinated by C.J. Wright, the 17 articles and additional media presentations in the Uranus collection are as erratic as Uranus himself. You will discover some of the disruptive changes Uranus loves to spring on us and receive suggestions on how to work with rather than against yourself as you evolve and grow.

SPECIAL SOULS
We are here and happy to talk to you. Ah yes, those special souls in those special bodies, bodies which do not always work for them but nonetheless work for what the soul’s purpose is. Not all special needs children are as special as you think. There are varying degrees of soul evolution in the bodies.
However, when a soul has agreed from an almost voluntary position, much can be gained. LOVE and COMPASSION are the two biggies to be gained by all who come into contact with these ‘normal’ souls.
Has not Rigil ( my son) changed the minds and opinions of many who had preconceived notions? He does keep on his path no matter what judgements or opinions he is around, a good thing really.
Anyone who is operating on a less than human ability, in terms of intellectual or physical capacity can often be seen readily. There are personalities to go along with the different disabilities. Of course, anyone who can constantly teach you about love without judgement or prejudice is considered a mentor or wise person. Funny how that respect disappears when the mentor appears to be disabled or developmentally delayed!!!!!!!!!!
But these souls can often be exactly that----------MENTORS!!
Mentors in perfectly fine bodies are fine but who is to say that they are mot emotionally disabled or emotionally retarded?? There have been many wise but twisted, so called mentors or leaders. Listen to the words not the package. Non-judgement is huge foe a real mentor. Love, universal love and compassion are signs of a good soul.
Harshness and cruelty abound with so called ‘normal’ souls, who are emotionally delayed or retarded. These are the real backward people.
Some entities put themselves into harsh physical disabilities due to a lack of compassion in a few lives to experience imperfection and to have less control over others. Some entities go willingly to teach and be a positive example. Everyone gains.
So see the good in everyone you meet. The obvious flaws in another will always be seen, but the good can be missed. Look for what is terrific, kind, funny and compassionate in another.
Be another Rigil. He cares little for the opinions of others and sees who is kind, good and funny. He loves funny. When he laughs, everyone laughs. He is a role model for a positive attitude towards others.
So you see you can’t always tell when someone is really crippled. Look for the good. That will tell you.
Thank you angels

RETARD< RETARDED< RETARDATION
Well, these words are loaded. When I hear retard, I think of late in French because I grew up in Quebec. Children or adults who have been labelled with one of the above are often viewed with apprehension, fear or pity. Now the label is developmentally delayed. These souls are here to teach us to be in the moment and to be truthful with our feelings.
I was listening to the Black Eyed Peas singing ‘Let’s Get Retarded ’. This song is only titled so on their album. It was retitled for air play to ‘Let’s Get Started.’ Many of the moral majority complained about the word retarded. Have you ever seen the developmentally delayed dance? I have. These ‘slow’ souls don’t care who is watching. If they want to dance, they just do. I haven’t seen a whole lot of rhythm but I have a seen a whole lot of joy. Who among us feel free enough to dance without worrying what anyone thinks? These special souls are here to teach us that it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks if we want to dance or sing or whatever.
Back to the song, it is just trying to tell you to dance and get rid of your worries. Dance as if no one is watching. Live your life, feel free, be free, just be you.
My youngest son has Downs Syndrome. He loves to dance and has great rhythm. It must be in the genes because all my children can dance well. Maybe it was because I put music on when they were young and we would all dance.
Anyway, my young 18 year old son wanted to go to a dance at his high school. The students in the special needs program don’t go to the regular school dances, they need permission and a parent to attend the regular dances. So my son obtained permission and my daughter and I went to the dance. It was called ‘A Touch of Class.’ Rigil (my boy) wanted to dress up, so his Dad lent him a suit jacket and bought him a dress shirt. Rigil met two other special needs students, two girls, there. We all walked into the gym where the music was playing. There were about seventy students dancing, at least sixty five of them were girls. All the boys were sitting in the stands or playing Frisbee or generally joking with each other while the girls danced.
My son and his two friends headed to the middle of the dance floor. Rigil danced for at least half an hour before coming to where my daughter and I were sitting. We gave him water and back he went to dance. This went on for two hours. Meanwhile I walked around and talked to other teenagers encouraging them not to be afraid and join the dance. Some of them gravitated to the dance floor but seemed to want a special invitation from the girls already dancing. Rigil does not care what anyone thinks, he just does what he wants to. I love him for that. He is certainly fearless in that. Who really was backwards in this situation? My son paid his money and danced while 99% of the boys could not get up the nerve to dance.
Rigil is all about love. He is friendly to people but I notice that the people he will talk to are friendly to him. He has very good instincts. He can tell when someone needs a hug or a kind word and never hangs on to bad feelings or negativity. Rigil is here to remind me to be the best. He is very intuitive and seems to know things before they happen.
One time, an ex-daughter in-law was coming by to pick up a granddaughter. Rigil was downstairs watching a Jim Carrey movie. He loves Jim Carrey and loves laughing. Meanwhile, upstairs Rigil’s Dad was going on about his negative view of my ex-daughter-in-law. The doorbell rang, Rigil ran upstairs and watched from the hall while I answered the door. I opened the door, Cindy smiled and came in the front hall. Rigil said hello and then ‘I love you Cindy.’ Cindy said ‘why thank you Rigil for that awesome greeting.’
Rigil nodded and retreated back downstairs. My granddaughter left with her aunt and I walked into the kitchen. I looked at my ex-husband and asked him, ’Did you get that?’
He looked ashamed. Rigil reminds us that everyone deserves love and kindness. He is in my family for that reason, I believe. I am one lucky mother. We should all be retarded, maybe we would really be ourselves. Maybe we would be more joyful, more thankful and less judgemental. I do know that is all true.
The Black-Eyed Peas have it right. Let’s Get Retarded is a great song and my boy loves that song. That’s good enough for me.

Crystals
We are here, yes the question of crystals… Crystals can be used to clean energy much like sweet grass or sage. Sleep with one if you choose. Auras do get messy and can be cleaned using crystals.
Crystals can be used for seeing the future; usually a meditative state is necessary. It is best to try in pristine conditions, among trees, near water and certainly best among wild uncultivated trees and plants.
Crystals can be used to focus your intentions. Crystals pick up on waves (everything radiates waves) and sends waves of intention through the air. Keep thoughts positive and never use negatives. For example state,” I intend to help all those I see today through positive use of energy,” or “ my intention is for my health of my body to be the best.”
Using mantras such as “I am healthy” or ‘I am love” or some such positive example while holding a crystal, will help focus the intention to its best. You must only think positively and let it go. Life is to be lived to the fullest. Good health can make a difference between the ability to focus or not to focus.
When adding an intention with a crystal, keep it simple. There is no need to keep adding or to keep talking. Say it, let it go and get on with your day. You will notice a decrease in worry or concern. You will feel better.
If you ask for abundance say,” I intend to experience abundance in all forms, see yourself happy and let it go. When abundance shows up, thank the universe, God, the angels: just be grateful.
Many crystals have been found and are much more honoured now because so many ex-Atlanteans and Lemurians are here again. There is a subconscious pull to crystals, a subconscious memory for their abilities. Let the crystals call you, when looking for one. Wait until you feel the pull. Everything has a spirit as do crystals and rocks. Although crystal gifts are usually yours due to other people feeling the crystal is for you.
Listen to your heart. Find the words to say and you will find new life experiences with more magic in your life. Crystals can transform your energy into a much more positive expression. Crystals have been used in healing in many past, advanced societies.
Thank you angels
When I went into labour with my last child, I took crystal with me to the hospital. Once in the room, I placed the crystal on my stomach and noticed a lessening of labour pains. My husband and the labour nurse got into a conversation and forgot about me for quite awhile because I was quiet. I didn’t mind because the crystal did work!! I wish I would have used it before!
A few weeks ago, I was short of funds. So using the crystal I visualized through intention receiving $500 by the weekend. By Sunday night I had been given a total of $500! Make sure you never use the word need. That keeps money away.

Ghost Hunting
UKRAINIAN CULTURAL VILLAGE Feb. 27/10
A dear friend of mine Kirsten suggested that we go check the ghosts out at Ukrainian Village. So Thursday last, Kirsten, Emmy (Kirsten’s 2 year old), Ranjit, Ranjit’s 17 year old sister, my granddaughter and I all met at Asian Village and then left in 2 cars to travel to Ukrainian Village. It was a beautiful sunny day and the snow in the fields we passed (as we headed out of town) was so bright, sunglasses were not an option. We chatted and discussed rumours that we had heard.
However, Ukrainian Cultural Village was closed. In the distance there were old houses, open fields, some yellow school buses, and a large parking lot. So we drove through and parked the cars. So Kirsten stayed in the car with Emmy while the rest of us checked out the very long red, two-storied building in front of us. The door was unlocked and a long dining room with tables set in an L pattern greeted us. Chairs were placed at the tables while eggs, candles and wax sat in front of each chair. We called out and no one appeared, so we walked through the dining room to the back end of the building. A sign pointing the way to a company on the second floor encouraged us to climb the stairs. Open cubicles with lots of sunlight brightened the casual office setting. A man and a woman appeared, answered my questions and pointed out the way to find the administration building. We thanked them and left.
Outside, we turned to our left and walked up the hill to more buildings. A sleigh pulled by 2 dark brown Clydesdale horses, driven by a sullen looking teenage boy in a peaked cap and dark period coat accompanied by a man sitting in the sleigh dressed in the same hat and coat, passed us. Two big yellow school buses stood at an entrance to some buildings. Again, I asked for directions and a bus driver sent me toward the alcove park entrance. I told the receptionist who came out from behind a wall we wanted to check out the rumours of ghosts. We were directed to see another man, Arnold. In Arnold’s office, I explained that I wanted to write a paper on the activities in the village. Arnold told us about the stories, gave us a site map and the circled the building which were the most active. He said the buildings might be locked, but we could take a look. We thanked him, then Ranjit called Kirsten to leave the car and join us.
Out first stop was Harwlick House. The doors were locked, so we stood on the porch and peered in the windows. Dark wood floors gleamed as I saw a woman standing in front of a far window inside the house, staring at me. She was thin in a dark brown dress with a high gathered collar. The dress seemed like a heavy material, like wool. Her hair was piled on her head and strands of her hair stuck out from her head. She was lonely and sad.
She had been married to someone she didn’t love, had been married off by her family. No one else saw her and there were no people actually living in this village.
Off we went to the next place. This was an old train station. Darjit, Ranjit’s sister checked out the doors and they were open, so we went in. A young man appeared wearing a cap, a white striped shirt, and a thin string tie (maybe). There was a living room and kitchen in the back with bedrooms upstairs. A family lived here. Upstairs, I saw a buxom older woman with pinned up hair come towards me and disappear. The energy was very light, not a bad place.
We moved on to other buildings which my friends would check to see if they were open. An old barn held horse stalls and I saw a man in old time clothes wearing a peaked cap, dressing two horses. It could be old energy or newer stuff that was here because the barn was always used.
A cluster of houses, mostly barns and out buildings yielded the passing view of a young girl. She was in the kitchen of a whitewashed mud built house. Blond, young, no more than eleven years of age, she smiled as she passed the stove, then disappeared. The girl was dressed in old clothes and had her hair held back. My granddaughter saw a cat winding its way through the kitchen.
Walking back to the beginning trail, we saw an old hotel. A man’s thin face, sporting a mustache, peered from the top floor of the hotel. It was as if he was secretly watching for someone. The hotel was open and we walked through the kitchen to the common room and the dining room which was in the midst of renovations. Up the stairs to the small bedrooms and no one greeted us.
We certainly did not need to wait until dark. If there are spirits, they are always there not just at night. Spirits are stuck due to a number of reasons. I have seen scenes over and over again of traumatic situations which replay again and again. The participants are not dead but the negative energy sticks around.
To end the day, I drove the wrong way back to Edmonton for half an hour. We were so busy talking that I paid no attention to my direction of travel. We laughed about it, for we understand that everything happens for a reason even if we never know the why.
