"Love is like magic
And it always will be
For love still remains
Life's sweet mystery
Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there's nothing in life
That love cannot change"
- Helen Steiner Rice
Thanks to RealityShifters reader, Kate, of Handwriting That Works, I
recently heard of the Vardøgr (vard-deh-AY-grr), which is a
Norwegian word meaning "premonitory sound or sight of a person before he
arrives." A similar concept is known in Finland as Etiäinen, meaning
a precognitive vision or dream. These words are used to describe
experiences when one sees or hears a family member or guest before the
person in question actually arrives. The July 2010
and August 2010
issues of RealityShifters featured several accounts of this particular type
of reality shift including one in which I saw my front door open and heard
my daughters voice about thirty or forty minutes before she actually
appeared. I now wonder how many of the reality shift experiences I have had
over the years might fall under this general heading as well, such as these
two examples shared in my book, RealityShifts: When
Consciousness Changes the Physical World:
* My daughters saw me enter their bedroom and turn on their light, waking
them up (Reality Shifts: pp. 114-115)
* A woman requested a business card twice (Reality Shifts: pp. 138-139,
142)
The Vardøgr or Etiäinen concept also gets me
thinking about a
couple of experiences involving bilocation and time loops that I have
mentioned previoiusly in RealityShifters:
I am especially intrigued by situations where people reported having seen
me bilocating, since the people reporting having seen me were people who
knew me well, and in both bilocation instances I was in a meditative,
relaxed state of mind as I was thinking about being elsewhere. My daughters
were awakened by my double’s entrance to their room as I said
"Good mroning," and turned on their light switch, filling their room with
light. They were surprised to run to my room and find me "still in bed,"
when in my own experience that morning, I had never out of bed... only
contemplated it. The woman who told me that she had seen me walking down
Solano Avenue was excited to tell me about this, because she knew I was
scheduled to be attending a full-day holistic expo in a different city that
day, so she was therefore quite surprised to see me enjoying a stroll down
the street. Strolling down that street is exactly what I was daydreaming
about at that point in time, as I was sitting indoors many miles
away!
Another experience I once had while on a bike ride with my daughter comes
to mind as being similar to the Vardøgr, even though it involved
trees
instead of people. My oldest daughter had asked me to join her on an
expedition to ride our bicycles out along a mountain road to visit a couple
of trees she had seen and loved from a distance of several miles, viewed
from one mountain ridge to another. I noticed as we arrived at a place that
seemed close to our goal that this idea would be challenging, as a forest
of trees lay between the road we traveled on and my daughters favorite
trees. Surprisingly, as I rode my bicycle while turning my head to see if I
could catch even a glimpse of my daughter's favorite trees, I suddenly saw
a completely unobscured view of those two trees appear before me just as
clearly as everything else I was looking at. This vision of the two trees
appeared in a particular place on the horizon, replacing the forest that
was actually there... and lasting for almost a full minute. As the vision
faded from view, I was so stunned by this vision that I excitedly told my
daughter, "I know which way to go to find your trees!" We followed the
direction of my vision, and found this guidance to be completely accurate.
The two trees were indeed located exactly where I had just "seen" them to
be.
In all these experiences I feel inspired by the idea that we are capable of
traveling to where we wish to be in such a way that others observe us
there... and sometimes when we daydream, we might just get home (or
somewhere else wonderful) a little bit ahead of ourselves!

item:
Reality Shifts: When Consciousness Changes the Physical
World
Reality Shifts book now available in ebook & print
versions!
Read the most comprehensive book ever written on the subject of reality
shifts that describes what reality shifts are, why they occur, and how they
can be used to influence and change your life for the better. Discover how
to make the most of reality shifts in your life, how to live lucidly in a
shifting reality, how to shift reality for healing, and delve into the
quantum physics of what's going on when reality shifts. Read the first
twenty pages of Reality Shifts here.
___________________________________________________
"Modern science has now addressed the problem of consciousness.
We each experience consciousness every day, in some of the myriad and
fascinating ways described in REALITY SHIFTS. But no one yet quite
understands why this is so. Speculations, theories and experiments from
quantum science have now been entered into the debate which suggest that
our world is far more mystical, complex, interactive and even humorous
than the sterile, mechanistic dogma of classical scientific thought.
Read, enjoy, be amazed, ponder REALITY SHIFTS" --
Edgar Mitchell, Sc.D., Founder, Institute of Noetic Sciences &
Apollo
Astronaut
"In REALITY SHIFTS, Cynthia Larson helps restore a sense of majesty
and wonder to our everyday world. If you think science has
explained away the magic of existence, you need seriously
to read this book."
--Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Reinventing Medicine, Healing Words,
and many other books
"Ever wondered where that missing sock went when you
last searched the clothes dryer? Thought about why those keys
you so carefully tucked into your jacket pocket suddenly disappeared
only to be found underneath the cushion of your favorite television
sofa? If so then you have experienced what Cynthia Larson calls a
Reality Shift. In her book of that title subtitled When Consciousness
Changes the Physical World, she explains in clear and unambiguous
language just what these reality shifts are, why they occur, and how
they can be used to influence and change your life for the better.
Larson even goes into how the latest ideas from quantum physics
can help us understand these shifts and most importantly believe
in them as part of our reality, not just our imagination. No, Martha, you
are not going crazy, just witnessing the reality
shift around you. I recommend this book for its clarity and for its
message of hope. Readers will be encouraged to enjoy reality shifts
both literally and in actuality-when they occur-and will be taught
how to make them happen more often."

B Vitamins Found to Slow Progression of Dementia
News Daily

Daily tablets of large doses of B vitamins can halve the rate of brain

Discovering the Virtues of a Wandering Mind
New York Times
by John Tierney
28 June 2010
At long last, the doodling daydreamer is getting some respect. A wandering
mind can protect you from immediate perils and keep you on course toward
long-term goals. "It’s daunting to think that we’re
slipping in and out so frequently and we never notice that we were gone,"
Dr. Jonathan Schooler of UC Santa Barbara says. "We have this intuition
that the one thing we should know is what’s going on in our
minds: I think, therefore I am. It’s the last bastion of what we
know, and yet we don’t even know that so well." http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/29/science/29tier.html
Listening to Future Selves, Reviewing Our Pasts
Presented at the 12th Annual International Language of Spirit
Conference
Cynthia Sue Larson invites us to imagine how it feels to be influenced by
the future, guided by our future selves... and how it feels when viewing
past events through various lenses of perception. The concept of
bi-causality, in which we influence both future and past events is
considered from an experiential point of view. View the slides from Cynthia
Sue Larsons presentation in Albuquerque, New Mexico on August 15, 2010.

Mom Heard Dad Come Home
Donna
Kingston, Ontario, Canada
I remember something that happened to my mother back in Nov. 1984, I
remember the year and month because I was pregnant on my oldest son and had
just moved in with my parents.
My mother was in the bath tub, I was sitting out in the living room.
Everything in the house was very quiet. Next thing I know, my mom is out
standing in the middle of the living room in her robe looking around. Then
she went back down the hallway. She came out a minute later and asked me
"Where is her?" Where was who? No one had come in, gone out, I was reading,
it was completely quiet, almost eeriely so. When she was taking her bath,
she thought she had heard the door open, my dad come in, and say "hey you".
She said it was so real, that she knew it happened, and was shocked and
disappointed that it hadn't. She spent the rest of the evening in a strange
mood. By the way, at this time, my father worked with the Department of
Fisherries and was away from home for a couple of months. When she talked
to him about it later, he would have been sleeping during that time frame,
and he did have a few vivid dreams of home.
Note from Cynthia: I love this story so much... and lately, it
seems there are a lot of these stories about people coming home who didn't
really come home being recalled and discussed. I like the way there is a
possible explanation here... that your dad would have been sleeping
(dreaming) at the same time your mother heard him!

Husbands Heard Coming Home
Charles
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
When my grandfather died, my Mom reported that she and several friends
were at home, expecting their husbands to return. It was the evening of my
grandfather's funeral back in 1964. I was only four years old at the time,
tucked snugly in my bed. And two distinct things happened that night. This
was the sixties, so that old social division of "the women" and
"the men" still shaped people's lives. So while "the men" finished with
some unstated business at the funeral home, all of "the women" came back
to my Mom's house to prepare some refreshments and then sit and talk while
waiting for their husbands to arrive.
Around 9pm, everyone heard the sound of stamping feet in the back
porch. Unmistakably the sound of someone knocking the snow off of their
boots. Someone said, "Ah, there are the men now", and the women went out
to the kitchen to greet them. But there was no one there. No snow on the
floor in the back porch. The door did not appear to have been opened, and
the snow outside had been falling steadily since the women arrived, hours
earlier, and there was not the faintest trace of a footprint in the
crisp new snow. The men arrived home some time after that, to the relief of
some very creeped-out wives, except my Mom, of course. She was used to
weird stuff.
*smile*
The other thing that happened was more subtle. Because mom had expected a
large crowd that evening, she made sure that my bedroom door and my
brother's bedroom door were both completely closed. But when she came
upstairs to check on us late that night, she found both our doors wide
open. Apparently my grandfather was noted for always leaving doors open
wherever he went. Did he come home to 'say goodbye'? He had died a very
sudden death. Pity I can't remember him...
Note from Cynthia: I just love the way that your doors were found
to be open when your grandmother came up to check on you and your
brother... after she'd closed them earlier, expecting company! Thanks for
sharing this story. I get such a powerful feeling of love from reading it,
with a sense that people continue on in spirit long after their bodies pass
away. Love is forever.
My husband and I just got back from a cruise with Royal Caribbean, aboard
Monarch of the Seas. The neat thing was, one day we were up on one of the
top decks, lounging by the railings, somewhere between Cocoa Cay and Nassau
in the Bahamas. I would glance over and notice that my husband would not be
there. I'd glance again, and he
would be there. This happened a couple of times! He saw me staring at him
and asked me what I was doing. I said "Watching you appear and disappear
off that lounge chair!"
He said he wasn't dozing, but staring at the ocean. I asked if
he noticed anything, like someone or something being there, then not being
there, then being there again? He said no, he didn't see that. He had just
been staring at the ocean. He felt it was him that was flickering in and
out, but couldn't really
tell me why.
Note from Cynthia: The two times that people who know me well
have reported I've been bilocating
have noticed that I've appeared somewhere I was daydreaming about... and
I've
sometimes wondered whether I might have been flickering in and out of
one
location while appearing in the other. I'm so glad you asked your husband
whether
he thought it was you or him that was disappearing and reappearing, and
intrigued
that he responded the way I'd expect him to... that since he was the one
doing
the daydreaming, he's the one who also would guess it was him disappearing
and
reappearing!
Dear Cynthia,
I found your Website by a chance perhaps I should say, I was guided by a
"Good Energy/Spirit." Last night, we celebrated one of our friends
birthday; while everyone is having a good time, I couldn't stop feeling
uneasy until somebody mentioned about the movie "2012," which I felt had
control over the subject, so I started explaining them about my experiences
and told them that, even if they don't believe it, they need to be
prepared. After the party, I went home feeling bad because I thought that
my story and piece of advice were not believable. And strangely this
morning, I woke up with the idea of sending to my friends the link to
"Remote Viewing" Web site, and that is how I discovered your Web
site.
I learn about "Remote Viewing" from a dream that I wanted to analyze. And
since this discovery, I feel like I cannot ignore my dreams anymore. I
wanted to get a formal study on Remote Viewing but I cannot afford it,
really.
I heard of 2012 few years back but I did not pay much attention about it.
After seeing the movie "2012," I started to think back and recall the
dreams that I thought convey "warnings." In the movie (2012) it said on the
screen, (I need to see this movie again because I am not sure if I got it
right) "finally, they took ashore, on month 1, day 27, and year 0. When I
saw this, I was mesmerize, because number 27 is the number that I dreamed
twice, just a flash, back in 2007. And since then, I keep seeing this
number. I tried to ignore it but I can't help it. And as one example, many
times occurred when I checked the time-in my car or bathroom clocks, or
from digital clocks somewhere when I am out of my house.
The scary part is that, I dreamed of tidal waves three different
times-twice in 2009 and just one this past January 2010 if my memory
recalls, I believe a week or two (2) after the Haiti earthquake. But since
2001, before the 9/11, I have dreamed of many weird events, liker people in
panic and chaos, fire trucks, tall buildings, etc., and even food rationing
-- this one I thought had something to do with our economy. And two days
before the 9/11, I woke from a dream of airplanes fly by. I couldn't forget
this one. I thought it was related to ourr visit to France the following
weekend -- obviously not.
I believe most of our dreams are real and only apply to the dreamers, and
they have to decipher. But I also believe that we can connect to
our friends and families, surrounding, the vibration of the Earth, etc.
through dreams, but again we have to decode them to understand. And
most dreams are warnings or dangers. I believe dreams are realized,
no matter how you avoid them; and they happen within our next waking time
— and if not, they become “déjà
vu’s.”
My questions to you are, when you conducted the seminar with remote
viewers, I assumed they have the skills to do remote viewing,
“What kind of Universal Codes appeared in their
subconscious?” And if they were put in meditative state,
“What kind of dreams appeared in their subconscious?
Thank you and I am looking forward to your reply.
Sincerely, Danny
Dearest Danny, Thanks so much for your questions about remote viewing 2012. I
share your belief in dreams being real... or more specifically, I believe
that dreams allow us to experience and co-create (when we are lucid
dreaming) a deeper level of possible reality by which the reality we call
"real" is created. Dreaming allows us the ability to explore a variety of
possible realities, and lucid dreaming provides us with the means to shift
reality, helping to steer this spaceship Earth and select the best possible
reality for all concerned.
The remote viewers I was working with and mention in the Remote Viewing
2012 Realityshifters had a range of previous experience with remote
viewing, and were in a meditative state. The experienced remote viewers
observed some common symbols including: the color white, beautiful gardens,
beautiful feeling energy, houses situated by large bodies of water.
I highly recommend a book which will be published soon, edited by Examiner
columnist Hunt Henion, called 2012, Creating Your Own Shift will
feature an article by me on the topic of When Consciousness Changes the
Physical World.
I am proud to
announce this month's winner of the Reality
Shifting Award, for recognition of demonstrating consistent
excellence in web site content and design, while helping
people shift their reality in a positive direction:
Lynne Forrest & The Three Faces of Victim
http://www.lynneforrest.com/html/the_faces_of_victim.html One of the most helpful tools I have worked with over the
past thirty years since I first saw it is called Transactional Analysis...
and one of the most useful applications of this model of human interaction
is superbly described by Lynne Forrest on her web site designed to assist
people in recognizing and learning to release the hold of "the drama
triangle" or "the victim triangle." If you are tired of re-enacting painful
life themes again and again, read this overview of the Drama Triangle...
and the world will never look the same!

Deep Brain Learning provides readers with a profound sense
of hope for better ways to support, educate, inspire and positively
transform troubled youth. A generation gap exists that leaves many American
adults wondering, "What's wrong with today's kids?" and most American
children wondering, "Where have all the elders gone?" Deep Brain Learning
challenges us to create the culture of respect necessary for young
people... and our entire culture... to thrive.
Without pointing fingers of blame or seeking scapegoats, Deep Brain
Learning describes the existing problem in American society that leaves
youth learning from one another and various media sources, rather than from
real-world interactions with elders who grant them ever increasing degrees
of respect and responsibility. When inevitable stresses and demands are
made of these youth, they often have not had caregivers nearby at
challenging times to model a calm process for dealing with such stressful
situations of starting with a logical assessment, incorporating emotional
wisdom, and taking appropriate action.
Deep Brain Learning summarizes a variety of models that are useful for
better understanding the brain and practical aspects of social and
interpersonal psychology in what feels at times like a giant map and rules
for the road (in the form of principles for transformation), with
occasional real-life reports from some intrepid explorers who've traversed
the challenging terrains from Trauma to Trust. Detailed references are
provided for those who wish to delve in more detail into particular areas,
so this is both a powerful reference book and a relatively fast and easy
read.
I highly recommend Deep Brain Learning to all parents, teachers, and adults
dealing with children and young people. While the ideas presented are
ostensibly focused on "challenging youth," it seems clear that a majority
of today's youth are feeling the stresses of living in a culture in which
few, if any, adults model requisite respect, empathy, deep communication,
social intelligence and emotional resilience. Deep Brain Learning provides
a marvelous road map for making a journey out of blaming, assuming the
worst, violence, and hypersensitivity to insult to development of self
control, clear thinking, empathy, a sense of mastery, belonging,
responsibility, generosity and independence.
