Should I Get an Abortion or Keep the Baby? (Ask Teal Episode about Abort...
Video description from You Tube:
Published on Nov 24, 2012 by TheSpiritualCatalyst
Today's Ask Teal Episode is About: Abortion
There is life in everything. There is life there even before the being is conceived. There has to be a stream of consciousness and intention present to manifest a physical fetus. There has to be a stream of consciousness and life there to even attract the cascade of physical events, which we call conception and embryonic development. But this is where everything gets very hazy A sperm is a unit of consciousness that is a projection of the man's desire for the continuation of his perspective. Ann egg is a unit of consciousness that is a projection of the woman's desire for the continuation of her perspective. Each is seeking unity and creation, and each is a match to the other's desire. There must be consciousness present for conception to occur but the question is whose consciousness. The answer is, sometimes the consciousness of the mother. And sometimes the consciousness of another non physical being.
Sometimes, the forming of a new physical biological human, is the byproduct of the mother's energy. The energy and consciousness of the mother is the same energy and consciousness that is creating the physical fetus. And so for lack of a better way of explaining it, she is pregnant with herself. When this is the case, usually, as the child takes its first breath, that first breath, is the mutual agreement for the consciousness of a separate eternal being (other than the mother) to focus its energy and attention into the physical perspective. The baby is now being "breathed" by its eternal self. That is the time that the separate, 1st person perspective of the being that is the baby has been fully activated. Often, but not always, up until this first breath, the potential eternal self has been observing the physical perspective of the fetus more so than it has been participating in the actual physical perspective of the fetus. So it holds a third person rather than a first person perspective relative to the fetus. Therefore though there is life force present, it could be said that this physical body of the fetus can be seen as more of a potential individual life form because at this time, it is a physical manifestation and continuation of the mother's energy.
However, other times, the intention for physical life (on behalf of a non physical being) is the very focus, which attracts the physical conditions that enable a life form to develop. In other words it is the focus of the non physical soul that even attracts the physical meeting of the sperm and egg. When this is the case, the consciousness of that being is present and participating fully in the physical perspective during the entire gestation. Though the mother's body is co creating the child, the stream of consciousness that is flowing through the fetus is a separate stream of energy from mother's stream of consciousness. When this is the case, the stream of energy flowing from the non physical being that has supported and co created the fetus with the mother merely fully takes over upon first breath. We are creators at heart. During the act of passionate intercourse, we can be so fully in alignment that we create a powerful summoning forth of energy. You are born with impulses, which guarantee the continuation of you. This summoning forth of energy, this intense allowing of energy is an act of creation. It is an invitation to new life.
We are all here because of intention. It is why a being chooses one life vs. another. One set of parent vs. another... And the child, who comes to a parent who is intending on abortion, or who was considering abortion is opting into that perspective on purpose. It knows exactly what it is getting into. That is a very unique experience, which leads to a great deal of expansion within the being that chose into that experience, and its mother that chose to terminate her support of that life form.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
Today I Release All My Troubles And Grief.
~Jonathan-Lockwood Huie
GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!!!
In case you don't know, today is Native American Heritage Day. So What is Native American Heritage day?
Taken from www.timeanddate.com:
American Indian Heritage Day, also known as Native American Heritage Day, annually recognizes the rich cultural heritage, history and vital contributions of American Indians on the Friday after Thanksgiving Day in the United States.
Some individual states, such as Maryland have taken legislative action to recognize this day as a state holiday.
What Do People Do?
Many people observe American Indian Heritage Day with activities, programs, and ceremonies that promote the historical and present day status of Native Americans and the Native American tribal governments. These events celebrate the culture, traditions, and languages of Native Americans that all Americans enjoy today.
The day also encourages public elementary and secondary schools to educate students about the history, achievements, and contributions of Native Americans by providing classroom instructions and activities.
Public Life
American Indian Heritage Day is a civil holiday but some individual states, such as Maryland recognize this day as a state holiday. Maryland state agencies, libraries and public schools are closed on this day and most state employees and many others have the day off from work.
Background
Native Americans are the descendants of the aboriginal, indigenous, native people who were the original inhabitants of the United States. American Indian Heritage Day aims to highlight the relationship between the United States government and the Native American governments, as well as honor the achievements and contributions of Native Americans to the US.
Native Americans have made distinct and significant contributions to the United States and the rest of the world in many fields, including agriculture, medicine, music, language, and art. Throughout history, Native Americans have distinguished themselves as inventors, entrepreneurs, spiritual leaders, as well as scholars.
It is my hope that this becomes a NATIONAL HOLIDAY soon. HAPPY NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE DAY!!!
Of course, we all know what today ALSO is...
BLACK FRIDAY. The day most unemployed men who live in their mother's or girlfriend's basements can't wait for one or the other to buy them Call Of Duty Black Ops 2. So they can play for months on end without pay and never serve in the real military.
BLACK FRIDAY. Because only in america, people trample each other for sales exactly one day after being thankful for what they already have.
BLACK FRIDAY. Of all the names they give this day, they gotta call it BLACK FRIDAY. LIKE MY PEOPLE HAD SOMETING TO DO WITH THAT!!!! O.K., just kidding. They call it Black Friday because that's the day when most stores who are in the red throuout much of the year, which means they are doing badly, go back in the black, which means they are doing well. At least in the buisness sense. But for some people...
YEAH.
O.K., I admit, I'm making fun of this day, but I do not hate this day. I DO hate what it does to people though...
When something like this happens, we all reel back in horror, and talk about how people are crazy, etc. But, it doesn't stop us from going back for more next year...
But the thing that makes today so crazy for me is that NONE of this is necessary. In fact, it is TOTALLY UNNECESSARY.
So, for all of you nut jobs out there who want to camp out in front of a store for a couple of days, who can't wait to rush in and trample each other for the best sales, for the employees of all these stores who have to suffer through this madness, and for all the store owners, company executives, presidents, CEO's, whatever, who encourage all this madness, this short video below is for you. Yeah, I know the subject matter is a litlle crazy, but it can't be any more crazy than what you're doing...
Now, I really hope the shoppers out there get what they want, I hope the employees of these various stores get through this in one peice, And I hope that the various CEO's of these stores get what they want. And I also hope that they all realize that PEOPLE MATTER MORE THAN LOW PRICES.
HAPPY SHOPPING EVERYONE. AND SUPPORT WAL-MART STRIKERS.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our lives are made up of a million moments, spent in a million different ways. Some are spent searching for love, peace and harmony. Others are spent surviving day to day. But the most fulfilling moments are when we discover that life, with all its joys and sorrows, is meant to be lived one day at a time
Now, let's start off the morning with Carmen Amara, singing WHENEVER WHEREVER WHATEVER by Maxwell.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
As we join hands in fellowship around this bountiful table, we give thanks for the blessings of this food and the love of these friends as a symbol of our gratitude for all the manifold blessings of this life.
~Jonathan-Lockwood Huie
GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!!!
I would like to wish each and every one of you a Happy Thanksgiving, from me to you. I hope whatever holiday you celebrate it will be an enjoyable one.
The concept of Thanksgiving has been around much longer than the quintessentially American holiday November 22nd this year. For thousands of years, countries and cultures have gathered to celebrate their abundant harvests, independence, and general good fortune by feasting, praying, dancing, and partaking in any other activities that make them unique. There are many variations of Thanksgiving throughout the world — some countries celebrate multiple versions of the holiday, and some versions of the holiday are celebrated by multiple countries. Happy Thanksgiving.
Ah! on Thanksgiving day.... When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more, And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before. What moistens the lips and what brightens the eye? What calls back the past, like the rich pumpkin pie? ~John Greenleaf Whittier
Here's a documentary about some of the myths and realities of thanksgiving as we celebrate it here. Click on the title below to watch it:
THE REAL STORY OF THANKSGIVING
May your stuffing be tasty May your turkey plump, May your potatoes and gravy Have nary a lump. May your yams be delicious And your pies take the prize, And may your Thanksgiving dinner Stay off your thighs! ~Author Unknown

UPDATE: SINCE THIS MORNING WHEN I MADE THIS POST, THE SPIRIT SCIENCE YOU TUBE CHANNEL HAS UPLOADED THIS AMAZING VIDEO ENTITLED, "GIVE THANKS", SO I DECIDED TO INCLUDE IT HERE. I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT.
Video description from You Tube:
Published on Nov 22, 2012 by TheSpiritScience Hey Everyone! This is a music video i cut together for everyone for Thanksgiving & Beyond! The song is called "Give Thanks" By +Elijah & The Band of Light, one of my biggest inspirations. I love this man, if you know him, tell him I love him and want to give him a hug!
Regardless of what this day means for you, we all must learn and practice giving thanks and love to those who are in our lives. The connections between each other is so important, this is as much a collective journey as much as it is a solo one. And to try and help shift this planet solo is ultimately to cut yourself off from the rest.
The One is All.
The All is One.
Have a beautiful day, every single day.

Patch Parables 8 ~ Adventures of the Reluctant Messiah
Video description from You Tube:
Published on Nov 19, 2012 by TheSpiritScience
http://thespiritscience.net/spirit/reluctantmessiah
This is a parable inspired from the book "Illusions: Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah". It's an absolutely brilliant book, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a good read. It's rather short, and incredibly profound. It's Less Words, and More Meaning.
This Parable is about the journey we all share, and the different levels of consciousness that we exist on today. We are all equal, and those who take the risk in letting go of the stuckness and go with the flow are often looked up at as great people. The Truth is that we are all great, and we simply need to see it, trust, and let go.

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!!!
Good Manners…. Saying something as simple as ‘Thank You’ can change not only your day but someone else’s day. Remember how we say that smiles are contagious? Well Manners are just as contagious and important. Put yourself in this scenario – You are rushing towards an elevator and the person inside can clearly see you are in a hurry, however allows the doors to close. How do you feel? Angry, upset, hurt? These emotions will then set your tone for the day, resulting in a day of anger and hate. But now imagine this scenario – You are rushing towards an elevator and the person inside can clearly see you are in a hurry, they make sure the doors remain open until you are safely inside. How do you feel? Happy, grateful, humbled? You are highly likely to then smile (resulting in the other person smiling). Thanking the person, you both then part you separate ways. Releasing happy endorphins which will set a happy, relaxed, stress free tone to your day. Like and share this status if you agree that Good Manners cost nothing but, can have the biggest positive impact on yourself and others…
Now, let's start the morning off with Carmen Amara, singing Whitney Houston's classic, SAVING ALL MY LOVE.

Resistance? (Ask Teal Episode on Negative, Problem Oriented Thoughts, Wo...
Video Description taken from You Tube:
Published on Nov 17, 2012 by TheSpiritualCatalyst
The Subject of Today's Ask Teal Episode is: Resistance.
In this episode, Teal uses her own resistance (negative, problem oriented focus) as an example to those that she teaches. In many ways, this video is a follow up to last week's episode on the subject of vaccines.
She explains what she (and those in the mind creates reality camp) mean when they talk about resistance. This video is designed to educate the viewer on their own emotional intelligence. It is also designed to provide an actual example of resistance in action.

HAPPY THURSDAY!!!
I reach toward the shining mountains, beyond the fog of daily worries.
~Jonathan-Lockwood Huie
GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!!!
Well, I still don't have a new job yet, but I'm optimistic. I was fingerprinted for a job that is most probably a long term position, and may lead to a permanent position! So yes, I'm excited.
Do everything with a mind that lets go. Do not expect any praise or reward. If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace. If you let go completely, you will know complete peace and freedom. Your struggles with the world will have come to an end.
Now, let's start the morning off with Surya Devi, performing with some friends at a hindu temple in Kauai.

MARTIAL ARTS I WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT: NINJUTSU
When I was a kid, in the mid to late 80's there was a ninja boom here in the U.S. You had everything from ninja perfume, to the ninja motorcycle, ad nauseam. And I loved it! I used to love to watch samurai and ninja movies and TV programs. The first ninja TV show I ever watched was THE MASTER, which used to come on every friday on NBC. That was in 1984, I remember. Then there was Storm Shadow from GI JOE, and the many ninja movies starring SHO KOSUGI. Then, a little later, there was THE SHADOW WARRIORS, & THE YAGYU CONSPIRACY, both starring the great SONNY CHIBA, and HIROYUKI SANADA, who also starred in many ninja movies.
Anyway, because of this, when I first started to get interested in Martial Arts, I didn't take ninjutsu as a martial art that seriously. It was only around a few years ago, after the ninja craze died down, that I stated looking more into the historical ninjas and their combat methods. And, I definetly like what I see.
So, what is ninjutsu?
Ninjutsu, also called ninpō, is the martial art, strategy, and tactics of unconventional warfare and guerrilla warfare as well as the art of espionage purportedly practiced by the shinobi (commonly known outside of Japan as ninja). Other than that, I don't know any more than anybody else about it. But I found this great ninjutsu documentary on You Tube, posted by one Anthony Cummings. who has spent a very long time researching the ninja and ninjutsu. So, I'll let the documentary, which I posted below in all it's parts, tell you guys what ninjutsu is about.

NINJUTSU DOCUMENTARY 2011 - PART 2 OF 4
NINJUTSU DOCUMENTARY 2011 - PART 3
NINJUTSU DOCUMENTARY 2011 PART 4 OF 4
For more information about Anthony Cummings and his research, check out his website, www.natori.co.uk Since I have not studied or trained in ninjutsu (yet), I'm definetely not qualified to explain any of it's practices. So, I posted links to various videos about different MODERN SCHOOLS OF NINJUTSU, And I'll let those videos explain their methods.
There are many other schools than the ones I listed here. Anyway, here are a few schools listed below:
THE BUJINKAN
The Bujinkan is arguably, the largest modern ninjutsu organization in the world. It is based in Japan and headed by Masaaki Hatsumi. It is best known for its association with ninjutsu. The system taught by this organization, called Bujinkan Budō Taijutsu, consists of nine separate ryūha, or schools.
The schools are:
Togakure-ryū Ninpō Taijutsu Gyokko ryū Kosshi jutsu Kuki Shinden Ryū Happō Bikenjutsu Koto Ryū Koppō jutsu Shinden Fudo Ryū Dakentai jutsu Takagi Yoshin Ryū Jūtai jutsu Gikan Ryū Koppō jutsu Gyokushin-ryū Ryū Ninpō Kumogakure Ryū Ninpō In the first 3 videos, Jeff Christian, head instructor of Muzosa Bujinkan in New York, gives an explanation of what Budo Taijustu is, then Soke Hatsumi demonstrates some techniques from the 9 schools of the Bujinkan, and the last video is about Soke Hatsumi's Teacher, Toshitsugu Takamatsu.

THE ESSENCE OF THE NINE SCHOOLS OF BUJINKAN NINPO TAIJUTSU
TAKAMATSU TOSHITSUGU BY SOKE MASAAKI HATSUMI
This last video, is an episode of a show called human weapon, where 2 martial artists, Jason Chambers and Bill Duff, travel around the world and learn different aspects of a certain martial art, then they test out what they learned in a fight with a master of that martial art.
HUMAN WEAPON - NINJUTSU
For more information about the Bujinkan, check out the websites below: THE BUJINKAN DOJO OF SOKE MASAAKI HATSUMI
THE WARRIOR INFORMATION NETWORK
THE GENBUKAN
The Genbukan was founded in 1984 by Shoto Tanemura. Tanemura studied under Toshshitsugo and Masaki Hatsumi. (Tanemura left Hatsumi's tutelage after a disagreement). The Genbukan organization includes over 100 dojos in approximately 30 countries and 20 states in the USA. The organization, Genbukan Ninpo Bugei has 36 divisions called "ninja sanjurokkei". The schools teach taijutsu, bikenjutsu and keishinteki kyoyo as well as bō jutsu, yumi, naginata, yari, jutte, kusari-gama, and shuriken. The Kokusai Jujutsu Renmei (international organization) also teaches traditional Japanese Jujutsu techniques. and self-defense techniques such as goshinjutsu, 'koryu karate' and 'chugoku kenpo'.
The 2 videos below were part of a documentary called "WAY OF THE WARRIOR", which featured different japanese martial arts.
This segment features Shoto Tanemura, and the Genbukan school of ninjutsu. WAY OF THE WARRIOR GENBUKAN NINPO BUGEI PART 1

RONALD DUNCAN'S WAY OF THE WINDS SYSTEM
Professor Ronald Duncan is often acknowleged as the Father of American Ninjutsu. He teaches his own style called The "Way of the Winds System".
The 2 videos below, Professor Ronald Duncan is interviewed by George Strickland from the Martial Art World about his school. MASTER RONALD DUNCAN NINJITSU EXPERT 1989

WAY OF THE WINDS - MARTIAL ART SYSTEM
Now there's a lot of argument between which ninjutsu school is "real" or "fake", or whatever... Personally, I think that If your teacher can move well, can fight well, has a solid understanding of the concepts and principles of the art, and can teach you and your fellow students all of the above, then who the fuck cares if it's "Real" or not?
Anyway, to close, I now give you this: A video of An Shu Stephen K. Hayes, one of the pioneers of ninjutsu in America, talking about, well... I'll let the video description below the video tell you all about that.
Video Description taken from You Tube:
Uploaded by TEDxTalks on Jul 1, 2011
An-shu Stephen Kinryu-Jien Hayes, founder of To-Shin Do Kasumi-An Ninja Martial Arts has spent his entire adult life in the pursuit of perfection through the study of the Asian martial arts and spiritual traditions, living and traveling throughout North America, Japan, Europe, the Arctic, China, Tibet, Nepal, and India.
Stephen has been described as one of the five brightest stars in the martial arts; a legend, by Black Belt Magazine Yearbook 1998, one of the ten most influential living martial artists in the world, by Black Belt Magazine March 2006, and a legend in the martial arts, by Grandmaster Jhoon Rhee, father of Taekwondo in America. He has demonstrated self-protection combat skills to military and law-enforcement groups including the U.S. Air Force Academy, the FBI Academy, the American Society for Law Enforcement Training, and members of Britain's elite SAS. He has worked on special assignments with the United States Department of State Dignitary Security Services, and under contract with the United States Defense Intelligence Agency.
Dedicated to promoting the benefits of Life Mastery Through Martial Arts, he travels the world as teacher, seminar leader, and lecturer, inspiring others by translating his extensive background in martial arts and meditation into practical lessons for handling the pressures, uncertainties, and stresses of life. Many students, readers, and seminar participants have reported that his teachings have brought them deep encouragement and empowerment, and inspired them to achieve new levels of success in their personal and professional lives.
His presentation at TEDxBloomington started our conference day with a provocative explanation of what "ninja" really means, followed by a cautionary tale of what might happen when you read fiction in junior high study hall. His experiences as bodyguard for the Dalai Lama resonated strongly with the Bloomington audience.
