	BP Loses Bid to Suspend Gulf of Mexico Compensation Payouts Posted by Stephen Cook on July 20, 2013 The Deepwater Horizon oil platform exploded in 2010, killing 11 men Photo: EPA By Katherine Rushton, The Telegraph, UK – July 19, 2013 http://tinyurl.com/kpg9mtn BP has lost its bid to suspend payments to people and businesses claiming damages related to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill while an investigator looks into possible misconduct in the payout process. The British oil giant struck a deal to pay damages to victims of the oil spill after the Deepwater Horizon oil platform exploded in 2010, killing 11 men and wreaking billions of dollars worth of damage to fishing and tourism businesses along the Louisiana coastline. However, the deal opened the floodgates to 10,000 compensation claims a month, costing BP far more than the $7.8bn (£5.2bn) it had expected and leaving the oil major with a battle on its hands to try to limit the number of purported victims coming forward. BP has no control over its payments to claimants, having agreed to a compensation formula and framework in a legal settlement covering certain personal and business liabilities. The company’s open chequebook has spawned an industry of lawyers trawling for businesses and individuals to demand compensation, who are “coming forward in ever increasing numbers”, even though they “suffered no losses”, BP claims. The oil company argues that the team responsible for awarding the payouts is ignoring the accepted legal meanings of words in the agreement, and that two of the lawyers working for the fund appeared to be taking kickbacks from at least one of the law-firms filing requests for compensation. According to redacted evidence filed in court this week, one of the lawyers had repeatedly emailed requests for payment to at least one of the law firms representing alleged victims of the oil spill. BP had asked for all compensation payouts to be suspended while the matter was investigated by Louis Freeh, a former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. However, on Friday it had its request refused. Judge Carl Barbier, who is presiding over the case in a New Orleans court, said that the number of checks and balances involved in awarding compensation would have made it difficult for any one person to make corrupt payments. “We would have to imagine some grand conspiracy over there involving dozens of people,” he said. He said there was no evidence that the “mass of claims” were not being properly evaluated. “BP has not produced any evidence that would warrant the court taking the drastic step of shutting down the entire claims program,” Barbier said. The trial under Barbier to determine blame and overall damages from the Gulf spill is ongoing, while a US appeals court is hearing a separate case brought by BP about the way payouts are being made for business economic losses.

	Catholic youths converge on Rio to see "slum pope" A girl waves an Argentine flag inside the Buenos Aires' Cathedral before boarding a bus bound for Rio de Janeiro in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Friday, July 19, 2013. Hundreds of Argentine faithful will travel to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to attend World Youth Day events from July 22-28 with Pope Francis. A group of Catholics left Buenos Aires cathedral Friday night in a caravan of buses on the 40-hour, 1,500-mile (2,500-kilometer) trip to Rio. (AP Photo/Victor R. Caivano) DEBORA REY 20 hours agoSociety Religion Argentina Catholic Church Rio de Janeiro Brazil View Gallery BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Thousands of young Roman Catholics from around the Americas are converging on Rio de Janeiro, taking dayslong bus trips or expensive plane flights that were paid for by baking cookies and holding garage sales, running raffles and bingo tournaments and even begging for coins in public plazas. Some of the poorest traveled from so-called "misery villages" in Argentina's capital, thanks to donations from the Buenos Aires archdiocese. Their agenda at World Youth Day includes meeting with other disadvantaged youngsters in Manguinhos, a favela Pope Francis plans to visit, and sharing stories about Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the subway-riding Argentine Jesuit they now affectionately call their "slum pope." Road trips can be fun, but many have been expressing more profound emotions, excited by the changes they see in the church since Francis was elected in March. His first months as pope have already renewed their faith, many say, by showing how church leaders can get closer to their people and relate to their real-world problems with humor and a common touch. "Like anyone else, there have been times when I haven't had this faith at 100 percent. Now I have more faith than ever, very high. I have my heart completely with God and no one can take me away from there," said Valentina Godoy, who traveled from Santiago, Chile, and shared her feelings from Brazil on a video her local church group posted on YouTube. Francis joked when he first emerged on the balcony over St. Peters Square that the cardinals had chosen a pope "from the end of the world." But for many Catholics on this side of the Atlantic, he's not only the first Latin American pope. With his history of community outreach, many younger Catholics are saying that he's the first pope they can relate to in a more personal way. ." View gallery Nuns carrying Argentine and Vatican flags gather to board a bus bound for Rio de Janeiro, in Buenos … "We were concerned after Benedict resigned, but when a Latin American pope emerged, so close to young people, it really changed the situation and our numbers grew. A little while ago we thought that there would be 5,000 Chileans and now we see that 9,100 of us are going, more than double what we expected," said Alonso Molina, the 21-year-old coordinator of a group visiting from Chile's Vicarate of Youthful Hope. Brazil has more Catholics than any other country in the world and its church has struggled to compete with Latin America's vigorous evangelical Christian movements, so it's a logical destination. And while many Argentines were disappointed that Francis didn't choose his native Argentina for his first papal trip outside Italy, they were making the best of it: More than 30,000 Argentines were making the pilgrimage, the largest foreign delegation. That includes President Cristina Fernandez, who cast aside her political rivalry with the former Buenos Aires cardinal after he became pope, and plans to make more displays of affection next week. While Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff invited South American leaders to the final Mass on July 29, Fernandez also plans to attend Monday's opening ceremony, Argentina's Catholic News Agency reported. Hundreds of young Catholics left Buenos Aires cathedral Friday night in a caravan of buses on the 40-hour, 1,500-mile (2,500-kilometer) trip to Rio. Many others left earlier from provinces around Argentina. About 9,500 signed up from the United States; 5,000 from Paraguay and 4,500 from Mexico. In all, 350,000 young Catholics signed up, similar to previous World Youth Days that later attracted much larger crowds. In any case, Brazilian authorities prepared to receive a million or more visitors during the pope's weeklong stay. ." View gallery Venezuelans, Neysmar Rondon, 18, from left to right, Raisamar Gutierrez, 23, Maria Albernoz, 24, Liz … Many Argentines had already planned to attend last year, "but everything got bigger after March 13, with the boom that was generated by the news that the Pope is from our land and our city," said the Rev. Marcelo Miceli, trip coordinator for the Buenos Aires archdiocese. The diocese channeled contributions and was able to subsidize all-inclusive trips for $500 a person, Miceli said. "We've received a lot of help from the community, many donations. It has generated an incredible wave of solidarity." But despite months of lobbying by the Vatican's top diplomat in Argentina, Emil Paul Tscherrig, the church got no reprieve from Argentina's tax agency, AFIP, which refused to loosen currency controls so that pilgrims might be able to trade their devaluing pesos for Brazilian reals at favorable official exchange rates. Pilgrims wanting to buy Brazilian currency in Argentina were forced to turn to illegal traders, getting about half as much money in return for their pesos. Those wealthy enough to have credit cards can use those in Brazil, and later pay a 20 percent penalty to the Argentine government for each purchase. AFIP's press office refused to comment on the controversy, which prompted an official public complaint from the church: "We made many appeals to various government agencies, but we have not received official responses about the possibility of changing money," the statement said. ." View gallery Young pilgrims laugh in front of screen featuring a drawing of Pope Francis at the international air … Paraguay doesn't limit currency trading, but poverty is a grim reality for many members of the Catholic church in that country. "To put together the money necessary for the trip and our stay, since we're so poor, we had to ask for help from others and organize food fairs, selling noodles with chicken sauce, hamburgers, sodas and other fast food," said Ismael Diaz, who organized a group of 300 young people traveling from the Virgin of Rosario parish in the city of Luque. Chilean youths told similar stories of bake sales, raffles and shaking cans in the streets to raise money for the trip. "It's something I have always wanted to do. It's important for any young Catholic person to attend and to reconfirm their faith," Ezequiel Sanchez, a 28-year-old small business owner, said before he and 18 others from his church boarded their flight from Mexico City. ___ ."

	The Galactic Federation of Light via Blossom Goodchild: July 21, 2013 Posted by Anthony Morrison on July 21, 2013 The Galactic Federation of Light channeled by Blossom Goodchild: July 21, 2013 – http://www.blossomgoodchild.com/index.html?page=BG185july21.html Blossom: Hello … again. Yesterday we tried did we not? Yet the minute you wished me Happy Human Day, I dissolved into tears. Yesterday I was not a very happy human … today I am. So may we try again? Galactic Federation of Light: That is most suitable for us. Our willingness to serve is as great as many of you upon the Earth plane. We would care to address a particular matter. It has been said throughout these times that ‘channelled messages’ are ‘going out of fashion.’ From our point of view we would like to make it quite clear that we have no intention of ‘Leaving one in the lurch’. We have come to assist you in all ways that we possibly can … to bring about this Golden Age. This was an agreement between us all. Why would we suddenly decide not to continue? I am pleased to hear that … yet it has been said that we should ‘go it alone’ and that we must ‘come from within’ and therefore would not need your help or advice. This is perfectly correct for those who FEEL they have reached the advanced stages of their awakening.WE ARE NOT NECESSARY … YET … We are available to offer our wisdom … for we consider it to be more advanced in many areas than that of the spiritual soulself that is incarcerated within the human density and all its programming’s. WE DO NOT IMPOSE. WE DO NOT INTERFERE. We merely offer suggestions of ways to uplift. We also encourage one to seek and find the TRUTH of who they are. May we conclude on this matter that there is no law … there is no pressure from us as to whether or not our words … brought though you Blossom … MUST be read. It is entirely up to the individual as to whether or not they FEEL they are of assistance to their expansion of self. If they feel they are not … with GRACE we say … stay away from that which we say. If you find however that they offer solace and peace of mind … then we thank you for the time taken to walk this journey alongside us. For as long as you are willing Blossom … we shall continue to work with you … for we consider that in this way we can be of service and benefit the whole . Thanks for that. So on that subject … there is something I would like to clear up. As you are aware … many write in asking me to ask you questions. We have done this for a while … on and off. It is not that I am opposed to doing so and I understand that many have the need for answers. However … I have always wondered why I am a little uncomfortable in doing so. I wondered if I was a little unsure about asking things of which I had no idea about … and then I simply have to TRUST … and I have done so many times. However today … pondering on this whole ‘channelling thing’ with you … it came to me … that this is not why you are here. You are not here to answer questions about certain things. It came to me so clearly. This is not your role. This is why you have steered away from certain subjects … because in TRUTH … who knows what may happen. Life changes course all the time … depending on each thought. Am I right? If so … can you elaborate … because then I feel we can ‘begin afresh’ … which I am feeling we are perhaps in need of. Blossom Goodchild … Gulp! … Yes? … Let us for a moment consider certain things. We do not live next door to you .We do not live in the same country or indeed on the other side of the world. We do not even live IN your world. So let us consider that which we are undertaking regarding our mission with you. To ‘reach you’ or anyone … telepathically … is more complicated than reaching ‘our own kind’ so to speak. Your make up is different from ours to begin with … Therefore … when you consider that which we are able to achieve from a connection point of view … do you not think … considering we come from other … … … … Other what? ‘Spaces’ … that what we do bring through … between us, we are doing remarkably well. Bit by bit we learn from each other as to what is the most appropriate approach to offer at any given time … and of course it will depend on your own disposition as to how easy a communication may or may not be. Yes … I am aware of that. Yet sometimes even when not in the highest of moods I want to get a channelling done because it suits me from my ‘diary’ point of view. That which we choose to bring forth from a knowledgeable aspect … is a delicate matter. So yes indeed we would say that this is what you have been picking up on. Much of what is asked by our friends of Earth is either not to be known ahead of its time … or … is to be studied by those interested. They can in turn … tune into a higher regard on any matter … should that be their passion. ONE SUBJECT WE KNOW INTERESTS ALL … IS LOVE … OF COURSE. Of course. Some that read these words are bored with what we say … We smile in LOVE. Never … from a position in which We come from … can we be bored of the subject of LOVE. May we with all respect also say … that it is often the ones who think they have ‘Got it’ … that haven’t? THE TRUE FACT IS … that which is to inevitably unfold in YOUR UNIVERSE shall do so at the pace in which more and more within that Universe … understand of the subject of LOVE. Oh yes … many many times have we touched upon this … Many times have we gone into deeper levels of this … Because DO YOU NOT SEE FRIENDS OF EARTH? … IT IS THROUGH THIS THAT ALL YOUR ANSWERS COME. IT IS THROUGH LOVE THAT ‘YOU’ CHANGE IT ALL. We CANNOT answer many questions because you hold the answers … which are dependent upon your own self-discovery of LOVE! Over and over again we CHOOSE to talk about it … Because that is all there is. That is all there is to talk about. For there is nothing else in existence other than LOVE. How many of you TRULY GET THAT? Not many! YET! For if there were many that did … do you see? They would not have the need to have answers to all these questions … that in TRUTH … if we may be bold in saying … DO NOT MATTER! NOTHING MATTERS other than BEING LOVE. IF YOU REALLY GOT THAT … there simply would be no need to KNOW anything more. DO YOU SEE? DO YOU SEE? I FEEL what you are saying … yet I also feel your frustration of trying to get it through via words. When you say ‘nothing else matters’ … surely it does. I mean … it does matter if Planet X for instance is going to smash in to Earth … many ask about that … surely THAT matters … surely THAT is important to know? Why? If you knew it was to happen … what would you do other than live in fear of the day when it takes place? If you knew it wasn’t going to happen you could relax on that matter … yet with all respect you … many of you … would find something else to consider regarding the end of your civilisation as you know it. Do you see? I’m trying. I am surprised at how many times you are saying ‘Do you see’. My fingers are typing so quickly and forcefully … If you KNEW what was to happen in any given moment of your future … you would change the future simply because of that KNOWNG … Therefore the future would not be the future as planned. Yet is it planned? Are we not creating it? OUR POINT!!! YOU HAVE CREATED IT. It is a little like a ‘scribble pattern’ … The outline is there … you just have to fill in the colours! This is so interesting … yet again … words are stumping the conversation. May we assist … in that … there are many scribble patterns … many many many many many! There is NO END to possibilities of outcomes on many many many many levels of just one thing. You may consider that one situation has one outcome … on the level that you are aware of. NO … One situation has many many many many outcomes on many different levels. Ripples on an ocean … infinite … unending … glorious … mystifying … incredible … possibilities of outcomes … on and on and on and on! You are just experiencing one version of it … in one given time. Yet who is to say … that another aspect of you is perhaps experiencing a different version of that SAME outcome. May I suggest this is a little out of my league … and yet I accept what you are saying … because I KNOW another aspect of me understands it! OUR MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO YOU is not about when disclosure may or may not take place. It is not about the date upon which we reveal ourselves for ALL to witness. It is not about any of these things … OUR MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO YOU IS: TO BE HAPPY EVERY MOMENT OF YOUR LIVING EXPERIENCE ON EARTH. Yes … I know this … many of us know this. And it is probably possible if one lived on a remote island with no programming or poisoning taking place. Please hear this in the right way … but you often ask us if “WE GET IT’? … Sometimes I wonder if ‘YOU GET IT’? … Do you really GET what it is we are dealing with down here? … Because I PROMISE you … as much as we KNOW on a deep level all that you say is TRUTH regarding BEING LOVE and BENG HAPPY … it doesn’t work that way for us … all the time. Sure we have moments of absolute joy and are in awe of being alive and living in this time … but I have not yet met one Earthly soul that can sustain that feeling … and that is what you are telling us is what we are here to do. It is so difficult with all the opposition we are faced with. And that is why dearest souls of Earth … ‘YOU’ WERE CHOSEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU! YOU … The ones that KNOW in your hearts that we are with you . YOU … The ones that carry on fighting the good fight when friends and family think you are loco YOU … Who volunteered and KNEW what you were in for … YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU! YOU KNEW THIS IS HOW IT WOULD BE … YET … WE KNEW … THAT EACH ONE OF YOU THAT WAS CHOSEN HAD THE STRENGTH TO SEE THIS THROUGH NO MATTER WHAT. INSIDE IF YOU … YOUR TRUTH KNOWS THE TRUTH! REGAIN YOUR STRENGTH. RECALL YOUR MISSION. My mission then is to be happy at every moment? Not an easy task you are telling us. RETRAIN YOUR MIND. YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR PROGRAMMING. THE MORE YOU REALISE HOW EASY IT IS … THE QUICKER IT TAKES PLACE. THE PROBLEM BEING THAT YOUR PROGRAMMING IS PROGRAMMED TO TELL YOU IT IS HARD!!! When you meditate or prepare for sleep … Ask for recall. Ask for remembrance. Ask for the ‘wrong’ programme to be removed … If you do not like a particular programme on your TV sets … you switch channels to something that you find more agreeable. IF YOU DON’T LIKE WHAT YOU’RE WATCHING ….. CHANGE THE CHANNEL! Dearest friends … Dearest Blossom … YOU have served whole heartedly … even when you FEEL otherwise. Many question our existence … those of you who KNOW US … cannot question it … for it is KNOWN in the depth of the soul as TRUTH. ONE DAY … one most beautiful day … and from that day forth … ALL … WILL KNOW US IN THE WAY THAT YOU DO NOW. We shall unite in harmony and peace and your days on Earth … as you know it to be now … shall be so very much more pleasurable … beyond measure … from that which you are accustomed to THERE SHALL BE NO PROGRAMMNG. THERE SHALL BE NO MORE ‘MONITORING’ … THERE SHALL BE NO MORE CONTROL BY OTHERS … ONLY BY THE SELF. WE LOVE YOU … Phew … Thanks Guys … I really needed to FEEL that energy from you today . It was really strong and powerful … which in turn … is so EMPOWERING. Again … Many Thanks … Roger … Over and out.

	Mary Magdalene via Natalie Glasson: Golden Heart of Magdalene Chamber Posted by Alice C on July 21, 2013 Mary Magdalene: Golden Heart of Magdalene Chamber, channeled by Natalie Glasson, July 19, 2013 at http://omna.org In waves of love I transport my consciousness to reunite with your consciousness and vibration. Let us exist in a peaceful state of oneness so that the will and divine love of the Creator may pulsate throughout our entire beings, magnifying with each sacred aspect and vibration within our beings that we resonate with. The vibration and purpose I hold is focused and stems from the love of the Creator. This seems such a general statement and yet it is the most wondrous and true experience for me. Love is everything that I experience and everything that I give to you. It is a conscious love filled with wise consciousness and meanings of the Creator’s love, a love that often only momentarily meets with you in your physical body, bringing an inspired breath of freedom, knowingness and inner warmth. Yet this pure vibration of love is akin to a powerful feed of ancient and new wisdom composed as a beautiful symphony of music. Can you comprehend a love that is awe inspiring, which embraces you completely, heals you instantly and guides you to simultaneously acknowledge all the knowledge within the Creator’s universe and beyond? This form of love which is akin to a stream or tidal wave from the Creator’s soul, is accessed by you momentarily in meditation or union with guides, loved ones or simple inspired moments. Like an all knowing ecstasy which fills you with Creator knowledge. You have the ability to access this form of love more frequently and to embody it within your physical and energetic light bodies. I, Mary Magdalene, step forward to assist and serve you in this mission and quest of self-discovery of your magnificent love vibrations and opportunities. The Magdalene vibration and teachings of love supported and encouraged an entrance into the tidal wave of knowledge and wisdom of the Creator’s vibration of love, where one was able to experience their true self as a flowing vibration of love. The Magdalene teachings were present upon the Earth and the inner planes before my presence upon the Earth and I enrolled myself first into the spiritual teachings of Magdalene upon the inner planes while in existence upon the Earth, later anchoring the sacred wisdom through my being. The Magdalene teachings are based upon the teachings of the Goddess vibration and the exploration of the Goddess within and yet they focus upon drawing the masculine vibration into oneness with the feminine in order to support a great blossoming of the feminine vibrations and the sacred wisdom held by the feminine aspect of the Creator. The Magdalene teachings encourage the masculine vibrations to be a support for the awakening of the feminine vibrations while allowing the feminine vibrations to give with strength and complete openness to the masculine vibrations. Each aspect is empowered gradually and through diverse process and practices until both reach a stage of unity together within your being and therefore unification with the Creator. Many people especially during, before and after the time of Jesus studied the Magdalene teachings, which have diverse levels of graduation and wisdom, even souls in physical male bodies studies with the energies of the Magdalene vibration which is akin to a soul or source of light on the inner planes focused upon awakening of love. The balance between the masculine and feminine aspects of each person upon the Earth is reforming, balancing and uniting which is causing much awakening especially at a heart level as the vibrations of the Creator and the masculine and feminine vibrations of the Creator are expressed, experienced and unified through the heart chakra centre and gateway. Due to this awakening, which has been occurring for some time, the Magdalene vibration as a source of support and awakening is further anchoring into the Earth and into the heart centres of many. We come in many ways not to teach or even guide you but to inspire and mirror vital awakening and balancing of the masculine and feminine vibration within your being, encouraging and allowing you to access that state of all knowing wisdom of and as love. Those that studied and channelled the Magdalene energies are now advancing to new realms of experience and exploration of the divine love of the Creator whether they are upon the Earth or within the inner planes, this symbolises a powerful awakening of love that will take place within the Magdalene conscious community that was and still remains as heart connections. Whether you have studies in the past with the Magdalene energies or not, you have the opportunity to accelerate your own further awareness of love through the awakening that we as a united light and consciousness are experiencing and facilitating, which is truly coming into fruition in this new age. You may notice my presence within your reality and energies more frequently as many known as the Magdalenes are stepping onto the Earth in energetic form to awaken and unite the divine and feminine vibration of the Creator within all who are ready and willing to move to a new level of ascension and oneness awareness. In your meditation time you can call upon the Magdalene energies overseen by my vibration and consciousness, Mary Magdalene, inviting us to surround you completely in our love vibration. You may ask us to work with your energetic being, physical body and soul to bring forward to you the Magdalene vibration of love for your experience. As you allow yourself to bathe in continuous waves of love, focus upon connecting with and experiencing a new vibration of love that brings forward to you the great knowingness of love as a profound enlightening wisdom. Let yourself exist in peace and acceptance of this vibration, which will shift you into acknowledging a deeper state of your truth as our energy becomes a mirror of the love within your being. Let our energies work with you to clear aspects that are lacking in love and to purify or heighten the love that is already realised within your being. We also wish to invite you to experience the Golden Heart of Magdalene Chamber within the Goddess Ashram upon the inner planes at a cosmic level. This chamber emanates the purest Magdalene vibrations and is completely covered in golden light that shimmers intensely. The golden light vibrates at an extremely high frequency activating within you your pure vibration of love. With this activation the golden light magnifies your energies then reflecting it back into your being for your observation and experience of yourself; your pure vibration of love. There is then the opportunity for you to ask to activate the purest vibration of your feminine aspect from your soul, imagining it emanating into the golden chamber, where it will be magnified and reflected back at you for your experience and observation. The same can be experienced when you ask for your masculine vibration to be projected from your soul into the golden chamber for magnification and reflection back at you. A further process can be achieved which is to ask for the divine unified masculine and feminine vibrations of your soul to be projected from your being into the golden chamber for magnification and reflection back into your being. As the powerful and pure integration of your masculine and feminine vibrations are poured back into your being you can take an opportunity to experience embodiment of the energies, as well as a deeper integration and understanding of this aspect of your being. You will be allowing the golden chamber to project back to yourself a united healed aspect of your being for your further observation and expression of your true vibrations of love. This is a most beautiful and sacred opportunity not only to connect with and experience the Magdalene energies but to also comprehend, experience and integrate with deeper aspects of your being, thus experiencing a greater oneness with the Creator. Summary Simply ask my energies, Mary Magdalene, to come forward to you as you enter into a state of peace and meditation. Ask me to transport you into the Golden Heart of Magdalene Chamber within the Goddess Ashram upon the inner planes at a cosmic level. First experience the magnification and high frequency of the golden energy and then the divine and powerful presence of the Magdalene vibration surrounding you. Ask for your purest vibration of love to activate, project and to be magnified and reflected back into your energies for your experience and observation. (Allow time to experience and breathe) Ask for your purest vibration of your feminine aspect to activate, project and to be magnified and reflected back into your energies for your experience and observation. (Allow time to experience and breathe) Ask for your purest vibration of your masculine aspect to activate, project and to be magnified and reflected back into your energies for your experience and observation. (Allow time to experience and breathe) Ask for your purest vibration of your integrated and united masculine and feminine aspect to activate, project and to be magnified and reflected back into your energies for your experience and observation. (Allow time to experience and breathe) Hold the intention of experience a greater oneness of love with the Creator. When you wish to return to your reality simply breathe all the energy into your feet and the Earth. You will notice that our presence and energy within your reality intensifies as we are sharing sacred teachings and consciousness that is now ready to anchor into the Earth and awaken from your being. Mary Magdalene Please share and post with others including the following details: ‘Channelled through Natalie Glasson of the Sacred School of OmNa, omna.org‘. Thank you

	Restoring Paradise on Nicaragua’s Island of Ometepe by Bill Ayres July 19, 2013 This is a guest post from WhyHunger’s Senior Director of Programs, Alison Cohen It’s the apex of the dry season on the Isla de Ometepe – a land mass of approximately 165 square miles which rises majestically out of Lake Nicaragua, not too far from the border with Costa Rica. Until recently Ometepe was one of Nicaragua’s best kept secrets – an island paradise as prophesied, according to some historians, by indigenous tribes who traveled from the north to this Eden-like utopia that came to them in a vision. But despite the fact that tourists from around the world have begun to make the 4-hour trek from Managua to sun on the sea-like shores of Lake Nicaragua and climb through the cloud forests to the rim of the island’s active volcanos, Ometepe is suffering economically and ecologically – no longer the prophesied paradise marked by insatiable abundance. It is a month or more before the rainy season will bring with it renewed hope marked by an increasing greenness and fullness along the hillsides. For now, food insecurity is at its highest. The fields are dry and barren, stored staples of rice and sorghum are dwindling and fruit trees have just begun to let loose some of their bounty. Nicaragua, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, is the second poorest country in Latin America and the Caribbean after Haiti, and a country in which poverty is above all a rural phenomenon; two out of three people in the country-side live on less than one dollar a day. Short-sighted, chemical-intensive agricultural practices coupled with climate change have devastated the agricultural sustainability of the island. What was once a lush and diverse tropical forest has been mostly clear cut for single-crop farming. Now, rice and sorghum are planted on small plots up a hillside, with no attempt at working within the natural contours of the land to create a terraced hillside and the large rocks that were strewn throughout the fields since the last volcanic eruption. Soil erosion – up to 2 inches per year – is commonplace, and last year’s drought led many farmers to abandon harvest when there was so little to show for their work. Even during the rainy season, farmers are no longer providing the fresh, nourishing meals they once were. Project Bona Fide, a partner in WhyHunger’s Imagine There’s No Hunger campaign with Yoko Ono Lennon and Hard Rock International, stands out on this small island of 42,000 people as one grassroots effort blazing a trail to a new vision of paradise on Isla de Ometepe. A 10-year old organization and 43-acre educational farm, Finca Bona Fide, was founded in the island community of Balgue by an edible landscaper from the United States with the long-term goal of “reintroducing biodiversity to support rebuilding ecologies and economies that first feed and nurture the communities growing them.” Project Bona Fide’s ultimate vision is to contribute to the community’s and region’s food sovereignty, or the right of the Nicaraguan people to define their own food, agriculture, livestock and fisheries systems and to not have to rely on the imports and exports derived from international market forces. The goal is to work with farmers through an apprenticeship program — complete with hands on training, on-going support and a form of “farmer insurance” — to establish more diversified farms, or “food forests,” on their own plots of land rooted in the principles of agroecology and its promise of resilience. Project Bonafide demonstrates the possible. Chris Shanks, one of Project Bona Fide’s co-directors, uses permaculture as an adaptive and agro-ecological approach to ending hunger. In the simplest terms, permaculture is the design of agricultural ecosystems that examine and follow nature’s patterns. Chris believes, permaculture involves farming in the “fourth dimension of time” — that is, choosing crops and a pattern of planting them based on their capacity for long-term resilience in the face of climate change. One of the key functions of Project Bona Fide, according to Chris, is “to hold these methods of resiliency in trust,” while learning, training and spreading the crops throughout the community. Project Bona Fide is implementing and providing training in a variety of very specific food-producing methods that address issues of long-term food insecurity with strong economic potential. These issues include: alley cropping; grey water use and water management (“slow it,” “store it,” “spread it”); bio-char soil amendment; agro-forestry (combining fruit trees with field crops); integrating livestock such as chickens and pigs; and the concept of the “guild,” or a grouping of plants, animals, insects and other natural components that work together to help ensure their survival. The 43 acres that makes up the farm are sustained primarily by young volunteers who arrive from every corner of the world, often with little more than a curiosity in permaculture or agroforestry and sometimes with a specific skill such as carpentry, welding, animal husbandry, cooking or organizing. There are no paid international staff, though it is one of the largest employers on the island. The directors do not draw a salary. They use the income from their consulting projects outside of the country and some grants and donations, to support the farm’s infrastructural needs, pay local staff and maintain a very simple lifestyle. In all, Project Bona Fide employs 30 people from the local community who bring existing skills, cultivate new capacities and educate those who come to learn. Teachers are learners; learners are teachers. In addition to employing, learning from and educating local community members, Project Bona Fide collaborates on projects that take place off-farm and in the community. In part with funds from the Imagine There’s No Hunger Campaign, Project Bona Fide has partnered with families in the community to establish Mano Amiga and Café Infantil, a community center and a child nutrition program, respectively. Mano Amiga is a beautiful natural building in the center of Balgue and houses a library and a women’s sewing cooperative in addition to a permaculture garden and playground. Café Infantil uses a building adjacent to Mano Amiga that has a kitchen where breakfast is prepared by mothers in the community for up to 70 children a day under the age of 12, most of whom live in families without fathers, generally equated in this strongly machismo society with persistent poverty and malnutrition.
