On June 1st of 2009, I finally decided to implement a project idea I had first dreamt up during the last few weeks of my time in Bali. I essentially set out to accomplish 10 goals I had been wanting to do for a while in the course of a 1 year timespan. While not particularly all that outrageous of an idea, the goals in and of themselves were ones that ordinary people might accomplish one or two of in a year. I decided to call the project 365 Days to Babylon because I had just finished reading a book called The Richest Man in Babylon and thought it made a great “brand” so to speak. As it turns out, Babylon had a completely different context that I didn’t realize at the time but has come to make much, much more sense since then. Babylon is a Greek word based on ancient Sumerian that translated roughly as “Gateway of the God(s)”. As you will come to see over the new few weeks as I finish this last leg of my journey to date, that was more true than I could have possibly realized.

Unfortunately, I got into my head about the project right after I launched it because I decided that the design wasn’t nearly “cool” enough and pulled it down in order to re-launch on July 1st. This is, of course, ridiculous. I’m not knocking the power of design, but the whole reason for blogging is content and I ultimately was more worried about aesthetics than I was about what I was writing. This is also why, those of you who might be reading this on my actual site, will notice that I’m using the default Wordpress theme because I chose to focus on the writing this time around and let the design grow out of that over the coming months.

The 365 Days to Babylon project proceeded quite well over the first few months once I re-launched on July 1st, 2009 and I had quite a bit of positive feedback to start. It was, literally, within days of re-launching this blog that me and Dyanna re-connected, who I’ve now come to realize is my twinflame  (this will be elaborated more in the next post). However, as me and Dyanna started to realize there was much more going on between us than we first suspected through July and August, I started spending less time on the project and more time trying to understand everything that was going on between us as well as within/around me.

The more and more me and Dyanna let our guards down, the more and more our spirituality started to flourish and the more I started to realize that I had significant emotional blocks to much of what the 365 Days to Babylon project was geared to accomplish. And, in order for me to accomplish any of what I set out to do, I would ultimately have to get out of my head about these things and get into my heart to release all of these emotional resistances and engrained belief patterns I had been holding onto for so long. Without making those shifts and changes in my emotional field, I would be re-creating the same patterns and the same problems I always had. It’s like that old Albert Einstein quote:

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

There’s a really great explanation of all of this in the following clip from Tuning In: Spirit Channelers in America (which I highly recommend you watch, it’s one of the most succinct and informative movies I’ve seen in a long time, in particular about what I’ve been experiencing):

The funny thing is though, is that a lot of the goals I’ve set out in the 365 Days to Babylon project originally, still appear to be coming true even though I haven’t been working directly on them. I guess we’ll just wait and see which ones have manifested by the July 1st deadline again or not.

From here on out, I’ll be detailing some of the extraordinary occurrences, events, signs, and more that me and Dyanna have been experiencing over the last several months since we reconnected. There may be things that you might not understand, there may be things that you think are completely crazy, all I ask is that you consider them with an open mind, for these are my real experiences.

When me and Dyanna reconnected in early July after having not chatted for the better part of the previous 14 months since we had last met, I was expecting it to be somewhat… awkward. What I found instead, was an instantaneous and immediate connection like any other I’d ever known, even more so than anything I’d experience with Candice. It felt immediately like we’d known each other for 25 years or more, it was that comfortable. It took us about a month to a month and a half to bypass our egos and really admit to each other that we were both experiencing something deeper here than we had ever felt before, but we did eventually do it.

One of the things that really helped us to open up and admit this to each other was the occurrence of a synchronicity that was simply too massive for either of us to ignore. It was, for all intents and purposes, a baseball bat to our brains to wake up and admit what was happening.

I had a friend in town staying with me during my birthday week and whom I took to a business networking group in North Vancouver early on the Monday morning that week. After the business networking group, we went to meet a friend of his here for coffee before going back to my place to chill for the day. On our way back from North Vancouver, just before getting onto the Lion’s Gate Bridge, we pulled up to a red stop light. At this stop light, I glanced to my left to find this van also waiting for the light:

While, normally, not all that particularly special, there’s a few things of significance to be noted here:

1. Dyanna has had the nickname LoveLight since she was only one or two years old.
2. The license plate says ascend which is essentially what this whole 2012 is supposed to be (the ascension of humanity into another dimension of consciousness)
3. The heart on the back of the van is nearly identical to the outline of the heart Dyanna painted on the wall of her bathroom (seen below)

This is one of those signs that is simple too hard to ignore. I know a lot of people like to pass this off as “coincidence”, but over the past couple years, and in particular the past several months, these things have been happening to me far too often to be considered “coincidence”.

Ultimately, this was the first major sign of many more to come that would help us to realize the depth and importance of each other in our lives and it was the first major step to us letting our guards down to really embracing this relationship with each other and letting go of all those traditional ego-games that dominate the traditional dating scene that we have all had so much experience and frustration with.

As we would come to find out over the coming months, and which I alluded to in the previous post, me and Dyanna are each other’s twinflame.  The following snippet from soulevolution.org explains generally what that means (and again lends credence to the above van sign):

Twin flames, also called twin souls, are literally the other half of our soul. We each have only one twin, and generally after being split the two went their separate ways, incarnating over and over to gather human experience before coming back together. Ideally, this happens in both of their last lifetimes on the planet so they can ascend together. So you probably haven’t had many lifetimes with your twin.

Each twin is a complete soul, not half a soul. It is their task to become more whole, balancing their female and male sides, and ideally become enlightened, before reuniting with their twin. This reunion is of two complete and whole beings. All other relationships through all our lives could be said to be “practice” for the twin, the ultimate relationship.

While neither of us is enlightened yet, and we’re still both working on balancing our male and female sides in this lifetime, over the course of our past lives it appears that we have accomplished most of these things and its simply a matter now of re-awakening this knowledge that is buried in the depths of our souls.

In addition to all of the above, what we discovered upon reconnecting was that both of us had actually had complete emotional meltdowns literally within two weeks of meeting each other. Of course, neither of us was really talking to each other at that time, so we didn’t know it, but both of us were literally going through very, very similar things all throughout the previous summer coming face-to-face with and cleansing out our demons/fears/whatever of the past. In fact, for the most part, both of us had just finally started getting over our shit around the time that we got back together. Coincidence? I find it highly unlikely.

Now, through the course of these writings right now I’m only providing the significant events. There was a number of things that were opening up within my awareness including my rather enormous ego, but as my third eye started opening up more and more I was starting to see and experience things that I can only explain as…. supernatural. I was starting to see various shifting patterns of indigo light on my ceiling and walls. I remember specifically seeing the roof undulating in waves like it was breathing a number of times, and I had even started seeing auras and spirits on occasion when my third eye chakra was particularly open.

Shortly after my birthday on August 14th and the van event a few days prior, I had a particularly interesting occurrence of one of these otherworldly events. I had come home in the early afternoon thoroughly exhausted for some unbeknown reason after having already had quite a good sleep the night before and decided to lay down on my living room couch to have a nap. I woke up from the nap nearly two hours later feeling quite spacey and I could tell that my third eye was particularly open. As I looked at the window above my kitchen stove where the sun was starting to set, there was a rainbow being refracted from the window onto the wall. I proceeded to stare at the rainbow for a few minutes when the last sliver of indigo in the rainbow started to pull apart from the rest of the rainbow. Once it separated from the rainbow it proceeded to move across the wall slowly as it coalesced into a small ball on the wall. The ball, upon arriving roughly four feet from the where the rest of the rainbow was, proceeded to move vertically up the wall before it started moving across the roof. As soon as it got about three feet across the roof, it stopped and turned almost instantly into a hot, florescent pink where it stayed and fluxuated in diameter bya  few inches.

Of course, I was thinking into my head that I must still be dreaming or something, there’s no way this is happening right now. Sure enough though, as soon as I had that thought, the next one popped into my head: Go to the roof. At this point, I really thought I was going crazy but I figured, eh, whatever, it can’t hurt to go check it out. Sitting in what appeared to be the exact same spot, or at least what my spatial sense to the best of it’s ability could determine was the same spot, was the bone you see below:

As you’ve probably guessed, it isn’t particularly a normal bone. First and foremost the important thing to notice is that this bone is some kind of fossil/petrification of a bone. All of the marrow inside the bone is still there but it is completely rock solid. This means that the bone, which appears to be from some sort of large mammal or creature, is quite old. The internet is telling me that scientists in lab environments can create petrified wood in a number of hours, although in normal elements in takes typically several years if not upwards of a hundred or more.

On top of this, the bone shows little holes on the dark side of the bone where it looks like some sort of algae or sea plant life has been attached and growing on it. Now, I know most people might say that it might have been dropped up on the roof by a bird. That is most definitely a possibility. However, any nutritional value in this object has been gone for a very long time, so it begs the question, why would any type of bird have any use for it let alone that there are very few birds in Vancouver big enough to eat anything this large. Additionally, I should note that I spent time several days every week (we had an amazing summer here in Vancouver) up on that roof enjoying the sun and this object had never been there before. Add all that together with the fact that it was in the same location (as far as I could tell) as the glowing orb I had just witnessed on my living room roof, and you have an event that can, in my opinion, only be left as unexplainable.

What it all means, I’m not totally sure yet. Either way, it’s definitely a story for the record books.

About a week to a week and a half after the bone incident, I was chilling at home taking it easy and decided to hit the hay early that night. Dyanna was staying at her place that night and I had a feeling like it was time to go to sleep. It was… I dunno, probably midnight or so which is pretty early for when I normally go to bed around 3 or 4am.

At about 2am, I awoke out of a deep sleep with a shattering pain all up and down the left side of my skull. It felt like the most intense pressure/pain I had ever had in my life, almost like someone was crushing the left side of my skull into powder or something. I can’t even begin to describe in words how much it hurt. I remember starting to freak out and then I heard my higher self talking to me, telling me that it was him and he was just doing a really intense healing on me and that it would be over quickly. Just relax, he kept saying over and over.

Seed of Life

Sure enough, within five minutes or so the entire process was over. I stumbled out of my bed and practically tripped into the bathroom in order to go to the washroom. As I closed my eyes while going to the washroom, all I could see in my eyelids was the Seed of Life repeating over and over and over again. It filled the entire vision of my eyelids.

The Seed of Life is a sacred geometric symbol derived from the Flower of Life which some believe to be representative of the seven days of creation as it is composed of seven equal circles. The Flower of Life (and consequently the Seed of Life) has also been found throughout the world from ancient Assyria, China and Egypt to Mexico and more. It holds significant religious significance for many of the world’s religions as well as many other sacred geometric symbols or the foundation to create them including Metatron’s Cube, the Star of David, the 5 Platonic solids, the Tree of Life, and the Egg of Life.

The pattern I was seeing in my eyes looked something like the one below, although it was more flourescent indigo on black instead of black on white:

I don’t know if there’s much else to say besides that, up to this point, it was definitely one of the most interesting and intense experiences of my life. Of course, that was still early on in this journey :)

Shortly before the September long weekend I had to head back to Edmonton for a very dear friend’s wedding in which I was a groomsmen. As I normally do when I’m driving back to Edmonton, I loaded up with gas and a ton of junk food and water on the outskirts of Chilliwack. By this time, I was very experienced with the drive and I proceeded to put my head down and get into the ~11hr drive.
(more…)

The day after I got back from the wedding, I had a Zenith Omega healing scheduled with Baljit Rayat, one of Vancouver’s most talented energy healers. Zenith Omega is an energy healing system that uses etheric light and colour to release energy blocks from the four subtle bodies and consequently help to restore the patient’s body to a higher vibrational level. It helps release stored emotions that are restricted and blocked by unbalanced energy to lead to a deeper experience of love and joy in all facets of life.

I had never done any actual energy healing work before, and while Dyanna is a level two Reiki practioner, her attempts up to this point had gone unfelt because I had severe energetic blocks going on so far. My session with Baljit changed all of that. While the actual process of an energy healing leaves very little to explain in physical experiences most of the time, it is quite normal to experience some intense visions and insights (neither of which I had during this initial clearing however). For the most part, energy healings are quite subtle, especially when you’re first opening up and aren’t familiar with energetics. It feels like a deep meditation or a low-level sleep (that half-asleep phase just before you doze off into deep sleep). I will be explaining more about energy healing, as well as the developing scientific proof of its legitimacy, in future posts but that is far too long and out of the scope of this post to deal with right now.

Anyway, I had some minor visions during the session, but I came away with a feeling of overwhelming awe at the power of the experience I had just had. My head was extremely light, almost spacey, and I was in this daze for the better part of the rest of the day. After the session I hopped in my car and proceeded to drive home and pass out. I had only been up for a few hours at this point as my one-hour session was at noon and I ended up sleeping almost the entire rest of the day/night. I was up for a few hours in the evening, but otherwise I slept straight through till about 11am the next morning. This intense sleeping continued for the next five days or so. Each day I got a little bit better with staying awake more and more, but it took me until the fifth day to return to a sleep/waking schedule that I was used to. It was definitely one of the most intense experiences I had ever had and I was definitely left a little awe-struck considering she didn’t really do anything besides sit in the chair and channel the energies to me. My entire body was so lethargic and exhausted after the session that it felt like I had just finished a triathlon or something. If you’ve never experienced an energy healing, I would definitely recommend you opening up your mind and trying it out sometime because it will definitely shift your opinions on these things quite quickly, I know it did for me.

This will be a combination of a couple stories since I forgot to tell the main trippy story from my time in Edmonton for the wedding. On the night before I drove back to Vancouver, I was hanging out with my mom in her place, telling her a lot of the things that had been going on with me. As I talking to her and explaining some of the crazy/trippy experiences I had been having, I started to notice my third eye opening up quite a bit and in particular I started to notice a lot of intense energy moving around on the walls around/behind my mom (I will be doing a complete post on the third eye in the new few weeks, so I’ll leave a full explanation for now) and I realized that we had a few spirits joining us in the room.

I started telling my mom this and as the discussion continued, I noticed the energetics starting to form into shapes more specifically resembling my great grandma and grandpa. This is kind of hard to explain in words, but it’s almost like seeing a flat black and white image of someone with the details blown out. All you get are the highlights/shadows, but it lets you see enough of the shape to understand and identify normally who the spirit is if you tap into and open up your intuition. Anyway, about twenty minutes later I also started seeing the energetic imprint of a younger woman with longer hair. I described the shape and appearance in detail to my mom as I was seeing it and asked if it reminded her of Brenda, which it of course did. In addition, when I said her name I got the all-too-familiar chills running up and down my spine that always serve as a “confirmation” of sorts of spiritual acuity.

Fast forwarding now to a few weeks after my first Zenith Omega session with Baljit, me and Dyanna decided to attend a local pagan meetup group whose topic of discussion was centered around energy work and how they use it. The session was extremely interesting and left me even more inspired and believing in all of this crazy stuff that had been happening to me.

When I got home I decided to take a bath to decompress and absorb everything we’d heard as well as see if I could work on generating a ball of energy in my hands as a number of the more experienced wiccans and energy workers had explained how you could pull up energy from mother earth or pull it down from the skies as well as how to ground yourself if you were taking on too much energy. I ended up sitting in the tub for the better part of two hours trying to figure it out and eventually managing to generate a small ball of electricity within my hands. As I would later discover, I was definitely forcing it too much, but it was a very interesting exercise to start. While I was doing this, I also managed to see my own aura for the first time ever as well as managing to experience what I term the foggy for the first time too.

Auras are a subtle, luminous field of colored energy that surrounds and emanates from a person or object. The aura is a color representation of the soul vibrations, chakras, emotional/physical states, and/or reflections of surrounding energy fields. It is a “paranormal” ability that has been documented and described for thousands of years throughout every major religion or spiritual practice. If you’re interested, you can get a lot more information on auras, as well as directions on how to see them at that link.

The Foggy is another “paranormal” occurrence I’ve begun to discover in the last few months that has to do very precisely with seeing into the “Otherworld” much more clearly. It’s almost like your spirit is coming to the surface and you’re seeing through the eyes of your spirit or third eye than through the “material” eyes. Essentially, what happens is that after a long period of intense focus, you will notice a sort of “fog” creeping in around all sides of your eyes, and if you continue to pursue this focus, it can envelope your entire eyes and you will start seeing a very different picture of reality from what you’re seeing around you. You will start seeing the energy flowing within all the objects around you and you will start to see very clearly things that you could not see before. In particular, the objects of your house or wherever you happen to be will shift into this vibrancy that’s nearly impossible to describe, it’s like all the edges of everything is outlined in vibrant white light.  As you will see in the next post, the foggy can open you up to some very interesting and unexpected realizations about this time/space reality we live in.

Shortly after my experience with seeing my aura, me and Dyanna were hanging out at my place, practicing seeing each other’s auras and trying to get back to the foggy. As we started to get the foggy coming in, we noticed that the stars were popping noticeably out of the night sky (I have a few HUGE windows in my room that make it easy to see the night sky because I’m so close to Stanley Park). We were both channeling a bit and were getting the impression that we were supposed to pick a star and stare at it for as long as we could. We decided to focus on one of the stars that was kind of blinking a little bit red and white (it wasn’t beetlejuice btw). Over the course of several minutes watching this star, we both started to realize that it was slowly but surely moving. And this wasn’t a trick of the eyes due to exhaustion or something. We watched this star for nearly an hour, and in the course of that hour it shifted nearly 30 degrees against the flow of the night sky and the rest of the stars. It quite literally was in the middle of my main window and by the end of the hour was nearly disappearing off the edge of my bedroom windows (I have about 12 feet of windows in my room, so this means it moved roughly 6 feet over the course of the hour).

Now, I know what you’re thinking. Satellite, right? Wrong. This wasn’t just a straight path that it was transiting, it was super erratic and was going in loops, spirals, up, down, and every which direction of the course of this hour. It was quite literally dancing for us. It is quite literally impossible for a satellite to move like this. However, being the logically minded people we are, and definitely feeling like we were going a bit crazy, we proceeded to start looking at other stars. We looked at nearly every star in the sky we could see from my window and, upon focusing on them, they started dancing across the sky for us as well. There simply is no way for all those stars to be satellites and all move in such an erratic fashion. Let alone the fact that they would stop if we removed our focus from them.

I’ll let that sink in.

Now, we had been sitting in my bed staring out the window for the better part of two hours, when the following started happening: I actually started seeing the stars shooting beams of light back and forth between each other like they were talking. Yes. You heard that right.

The closest thing I’ve been able to approximate it to is Grant Skinner’s Proximity Engine (screenshot below).

Now, I would recommend you go take a quick look at that demo on Grant’s site (Flash required) to get a sense of what I’m talking about and then come back here. I should state the stars definitely weren’t moving anywhere close to this fast, but the way the lines were reaching out and coming off of one another like they were talking to each other? That’s what was happening with the stars. I could quite literally see them shooting beams of light back and forth between one another like they were communicating. Explain that.

At this point, me and Dyanna both kind of got up to pinch ourselves to make sure we weren’t dreaming, which we obviously weren’t. I still don’t know how to explain it, but it was definitely a real experience that I’ve thought about a lot in the last few months till it happened. I also can’t wait till spring/summertime to be able to hang outside again and re-enact this occurrence :)

Over the course of the 4 or so months since I had first met Dyanna, I started becoming very, very interested in Reiki and energy healing in general. As my luck would have it, near the end of October I would get the opportunity to learn Reiki as my friend, a Reiki master, was in need of a new website. We decided to do a trade where I would get training in Reiki and Akashic Records (the complete documentation of all the various incarnations/lives of your soul) in exchange for a new website for her. This would turn out to be far and away one of the most profound shifts in my life, even after all of the experiences I have explained in the last couple months.

Reiki is a Japanese-originated form of energy healing that works with the chakras, aura, and subtle bodies to help heal and awaken the spiritual self by channeling the universal life force called ki through the hands and into the patient. Reiki treatments create many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well-being. While the technique in and of itself is quite basic, the ability to utilize Reiki is transferred as an “attunement” during class with a Reiki master which allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of “life force energy”. While spiritual in nature, Reiki is not a religion and contains no dogma which means you do not have to believe a certain thing or way in order to utilize Reiki.

The thing about most of the vast number of energy healing modalities, and even just experiencing spiritual energy shifts in your day-to-day life, is that they tend to be quite subtle and nearly unnoticeable if you’re first awakening to these things. Dyanna gave me multiple Reiki treatments before my Zenith Omega experience and not a single time did I ever “feel” anything. After the Zenith Omega treatment, I started to be able to feel it a little bit more. After my own Reiki attunement, I become significantly more aware and in-tune with the various life force energies around me. I can’t even begin to go into all of the various experiences I’ve had experiencing various energies because of my Reiki attunement, but its been an interesting and beautiful experience to say the least. Essentially, the attunement has opened up my channeling and psychic abilities quite a bit and has made me significantly more sensitive to all of the various energies around me. It has definitely been the most profound step to date in helping me gain insight and understanding into my spirituality as well as my connection to the environment around me. I would recommend anyone interested in exploring their spirituality and opening up these channels within themselves to take the time and get at least a couple levels of training in Reiki. The shifts you go through are quite exponential upon attunement and definitely brings you a deeper, more profound awareness of yourself, the environment and the people in it.

Near the time that I got my Reiki attunement, Dyanna had gotten super sick with an unexplainable sore throat/cold. We worked on getting a lot of sleep, eating properly, etc. and none of it seemed to really help her sore throat get any better. No matter how many vitamins, echinacea and vitamin C she had, it never helped. I had even attempted Reiki on her to try and heal it but we were guided to understand that it was something significantly deeper than this and that it was something she was going to have to understand and heal herself.

After a few days had passed with not being able to cure her sore throat, a very dear friend of ours came over for a visit who was experienced in a number of healing modalities including Akashic Records (which is the complete documentation of your soul’s journey across all previous incarnations, dimensions, times, and planes). As we hung out, we started explaining a number of the different events that had been going on in our lives as well as what was happening with Dyanna’s cold. Several minutes after we started going into these details with our friend, me and Dyanna both started having intense visions into a past life we had spent together and our friend informed us that both of our Akashic Records were open. As these visions and insights were coming to us, our friend started guiding us through the visions. While most of the visions I cannot remember anymore, the important part was that we came to understand that Dyanna had been murdered in this past life by a number of people and that, while she was still alive, they had ripped her tongue out before torturing her mercilessly. As we would soon discover, this was a karmic event from our past that had manifested in a physical condition in her current body because it was something she needed to resolve and heal to move forward with our life and destiny together. I know its kind of a hard concept to grasp, but we had what we considered undeniable proof:

Literally, within 5 minutes of us going through this experience and completing a healing meditation to heal and release this karmic event from her soul record, Dyanna’s sore throat and cold had completely disappeared.
