Global warming is playing havoc with weather patterns, which in turn affects all plant and animal life. Our emotions are fired up and disagreements are reaching a boiling point, as is evidenced by the ever-increasing and escalating geo-religious-political-economic conflicts around the globe.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Time out!\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Now is the time to turn our attention to positive solutions and focus our thoughts and actions creating peace. Peace of Mind. Peace of Heart. Peace on Earth. There is a chance for peace.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<p>In this time of environmental urgency, the Thirteen Global\u00a0 Grandmothers\u00a0 have sent a message asking for help in working to heal the wounds of Mother Earth.<\/p>\n<p>We ask you to cast, anchor, and hold the Net of Light steady for the Gulf of<\/p>\n<p>Mexico,&#8221; the Grandmothers said. &#8220;This crisis is affecting the entire world, and<\/p>\n<p>humanity is asleep. Wake up!&#8221; they cried. &#8220;Animals are dying, plants are dying, and\u00a0your Mother is writhing in agony. If you hold the Net of Light steady at this time\u00a0you will help stave off further catastrophe.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You have been lulled into a false sleep,&#8221; they said, &#8220;told that others (B.P.) will\u00a0take care of this problem. \u201cThis is not so,&#8221; they said. &#8220;And this is not the time for\u00a0you to fall into oblivion. Determine now to stay awake, and once you have made that\u00a0commitment, think of, cast, and hold the Net of Light. Hold it deep and hold it\u00a0wide. Amplify its reach to penetrate the waters of the Gulf and dive deep beneath\u00a0the crust of Mother Earth. Anchor it at the earth&#8217;s core and as you hold it there,\u00a0ask it to unify with the mineral kingdom of this planet. It will do this and will\u00a0harmonize with all the solid and liquid mineral states on earth-including oil and\u00a0gas. The Net of Light will call these minerals back into harmony.<\/p>\n<p>Men have wreaked\u00a0havoc. They have abused the kingdoms of life on Earth for many years, but this time\u00a0their destruction has reached crisis proportions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whatever human beings have damaged, human beings must correct,&#8221; the Grandmothers\u00a0said. &#8220;This is the law. We repeat: This is the law. You cannot sit back and ask God\u00a0to fix the mess humanity has created. Each of you must throw your shoulders to the\u00a0wheel and work.<\/p>\n<p>We are asking for your help. Several years ago we gave you the Net\u00a0of Light so you would be able to help the earth at times like this. Step forward<\/p>\n<p>now. This is the Net of Light that will hold the earth during the times of change\u00a0that are upon you,&#8221; they said.\u00a0&#8220;First move into your heart and call on us. We will meet you there.<\/p>\n<p>The Net of Light\u00a0is lit by the jewel of your heart,&#8221; they said, &#8220;so move into this lighted place\u00a0within you and open to the Net of which you are a part. Bask in its calming\u00a0presence. It holds you at the same time that you hold it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now think of magnifying your union with us. We, the Great Council of the<\/p>\n<p>Grandmothers, are with you now, and all those who work with the Net of Light are\u00a0also with you. There are thousands, even millions now connected in light,&#8221; they\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<p>Along with this union, call forth the power of the sacred places on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>These will amplify the potency of our joint effort. Then call on the sacred beings\u00a0that have come to prevent the catastrophe that threatens to overwhelm your planet.\u00a0We will work together,&#8221; they said, nodding slowly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Think of, cast and magnify the presence of the Net of Light in the Gulf of Mexico.\u00a0See, imagine or think of it holding the waters, holding the land, the plants, the\u00a0sea life, and the people. Holding them all!&#8221; they said. &#8220;The Net of Light is holding\u00a0them steady; it is returning them to balance. Let the love within your lighted heart\u00a0keep pouring into the Net of Light and hold, hold, hold.<\/p>\n<p>Calmly and reverently watch\u00a0as the light from your heart flows along the strands of the Net. It will follow your\u00a0ommand and continuously move forth. As soon as you think of it, it will happen. We\u00a0ask you to practice this for only a few minutes at a time, but to repeat it\u00a0throughout the day and night.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We promise that this work with the Net of Light will do untold good,&#8221; the<\/p>\n<p>Grandmothers said. &#8220;We are calling you to service now. You are needed. Do not miss\u00a0this opportunity.
