What To Do During Holiday Season
by Douglas James Cottrell

The mind is the master; the mind is the way.
 
The Christmas Spirit traditionally represents the magic of happiness and angelic blessings of well-being, giving, and wishing peace and good-will to all on Earth. For many people, however, this joyous time of year is anything but. For some it’s the burden of going into debt to keep up a family tradition of gift-buying that makes this time stressful. Others may have a profound feeling of guilt for having more than those who are less fortunate. And then there are the stresses associated with family get-togethers: from the politics of "which family member’s turn is it to host the dinner," to negotiating who will (or will not) come because of unfinished family business or ego, to the worrying about how the dinner will turn out. At this time of year, moms go into a traditional tail-spin, trying to make the event something extra-special and taking responsibility for the whole event themselves (often missing out and feeling exhausted in the process).

To be aware of all this is to be separate and to play the observer. The mind is the master and telepathically it can send out thoughts that are constructive or destructive. The mind can convert a hostile moment into a pleasant one. All it takes is the power of One. This means that when you feel stuck in a long line of traffic, become patient. You are going to live your life in the next few minutes, no matter where you are. Getting angry, and yelling at some other driver, only hurts you. No one else. The driver can’t hear you, and may not even be aware of your existence. Turn on the radio, and sing along with pleasant music. And when you find yourself in line at the post office, waiting your turn to be served by exhausted clerks (already worn down by previously agitated customers), mentally complement them for doing a good job. Don’t get triggered into becoming impatient yourself, for this adds to the fray. Instead, visualize in your mind's eye a cloud of pink, loving energy enveloping everyone.
 
Let your mind create a peaceful state within you first. Then let it flow out of you. This is the meaning behind the biblical phrase, "let your cup runneth over." Be mindful not to fall into anger, impatience, or frustration, for you may just be telepathically picking up on someone else’s thoughts or feelings. Instead, let others pick up on your feelings of courtesy, thankfulness, and patience. Hum tunes to yourself (even if just in your own head) and see good everywhere. Instead of a curse or a condemnation, give a complement. Thinking good thoughts and visualizing good images leads to amplifying the Christmas Spirit. You will be amazed at how things will change when you throw out the stresses and use your divine spiritual gift of your peaceful mind. OHM

FROM THE DTM SESSIONS: Disappearing Honeybees

Q: Honeybees are being wiped out in record numbers across the U.S. Can you explain why this is happening?

 

A: There are more than one reasons here, but predominantly, this would be seen as to the effects of what would be radiation upon them. Understand, satellites radiate energy or signal down towards the ground. This has an effect, as a radio wave going through a human body would have an effect. And this is now affecting the plants, soil, and the bees and insects themselves. This would be the greatest effect that the radiation of signals emanating down upon the earth from the many, many satellites is having this effect. Also there are certain bacteria that are being spread here through the community of insects. This is primarily seen from what would be the adulteration of certain varieties of bees. Those that would be the African bees, killer bees they have been called, have certain mixed let us say influences or biological aspects that are making the bee for all intents and purposes, the common bee, supersensitive to both the sound waves as we have given and also to certain reactions within the nectar of the flower, in other words it is poisoning the bee, because the bee does not have the resistance or the bacteria-fighting capabilities it would normally have. Like certain insects or certain scavengers whose function it would be to eat dead meat, would have certain capabilities in their own immune systems to not be poisoned by certain things they would normally ingest; the bees have lost this ability. It is a weakness in their form caused by the adulteration or introduction of foreign bee DNA you see, unfortunately, but there are regions in which the bees will survive, especially in valleys or low-lying areas. Pesticide use is extensive, but this is not the real cause of the difficulties you see.
