In the tantra we teach, All-Chakra Tantra, the word tantra means weaving.

Weave, coordinate and orchestrate your sexuality with tantra’s other six-sevenths. Tantra tells you: see, accept, choreograph and integrate your emotional, sexual, assertive, romantic, communicative, wise and spiritual--as well as your sexual--aspects. You weave inner aspects, like a carpet’s weft through its seven-chakra warp. You also weave your inner voices with voices within your lovers.

.

.

.

. Let me run you through the chakrras\

For Chakra 1, you secure Your First Base, embrace emotional vulnerability and subselves that shield your feelings

Chakra 2 You embrace both erotic freedom & caution, personal and impersonal sensuality

Chakra 3: You center yourself to lead or follow, assert or surrender

Chakra 4: You learn to Live Loving Oneness; you embrace your Giver and Taker, Generous and Entitled inner voices

Chakra 5: You speak or Stay Silent; sing

Chakra 6: You think, Dream, Intuit, Envision

Chakra 7: You embrace both your Universality and your Individuality

Chakra 8:  You laugh from your Clown Chakra

In All-Chakra Tantra, we don’t ignore the sexual chakra. Sex Chakra energy affects the other six chakras--your vulnerability, power, romance, messaging, knowing and higher consciousness chakras. These chakras, your child, hero, lover, communicator and visionary chakras, influence your sexual chakra as well.

CENTER yourself to weave. Hear which inner voices–aka subselves–your sexual interests activate. Integrate the subselves who cluster at your sex chakra with all subs at all your chakras. Choreograph the interplay of your subselves and the subselves your lovers present.

Chant the Sanskrit syllables (lam, vam, ram, ham, yam, ooo, mmm) As you chant each syllable, imagine you open within you a rose of the color indicated below the syllable. perform the bodily action indicated, and repeat the task sentence aloud.

Bija Mantra: chant, perform action, repeat sentence--like Catholic catechism (Hail Marys) and Buddist Prayer Beads–using the body as Catholics and Buddhists use beads.

CHANT & OPEN CHAKRA ROSES

Chant the Chakra Chant (Bija Mantra), an ancient Sanskrit meditation, loud and strong. Chant seven one-syllable words–lam, vam, ram, yam, ham, ooo and mmm; each activates a different chakra.

Lam pumps your perineum; vam invigorates your genitals. Ram empowers your belly, yam heals your heart, ham frees your voice. Your Third eye, forehead to occiput, vibrates with ooo, and you think and intuit at the same time. When you chant mmm, your crown opens and you unite with all that is, was and will be.

Security Chakra (Lam)
Sit or stand erect. Touch your perineum as you chant lam three times. After each lam, squeeze your anal sphincter and imagine a red rose opens there. In the last rose’s center, see yourself healthy, serene and safe.

Sexual Chakra (Vam)
Touch your genitals and chant vam three times. After each vam, squeeze your pubococcygeal (pc) muscles. Inhale and imagine an orange rosebud in your genitals. Exhale and it opens; in it, see yourself make love.

Power Chakra (Ram)
Hands on lower belly: three times, chant ram. A yellow rose opens in your belly each time you chant ram. Within each red rose, as it opens, see a power symbol that reminds you, “Take yours.”

Love Chakra (Yam)
Rest your palms on your chest, chant yam and open a green rose in your heart. In the first green rose’s center, see someone you love who loves you too.

Twice more, chant yam, open heart roses and picture people you love in the roses’ centers.

Expression Chakra (Ham)
Hands at throat, three times, chant ham. With each ham you chant, a blue rosebud appears in your throat. Each ham you say opens a blue rose and you empower both your sharing and privacy options.

Hear, in your mind’s ear, your throat singing your song, a song that expresses you.

Clarity Chakra (Ooo)
Hold your head, brow to occiput, in your hands. Chant ooo three times. With each ooo, see a violet rose open in your skull and in rose’s center picture:
(Violet Rose 1) You at your best.
(Violet Rose 2) You and those you love living your loving potential.
(Violet Rose 3) The world at best.

Connection Chakra (Mmm)
Chant mmm three times as thousand-petaled white lotus blossoms unfold at your crown.

White light gushes from your crown, meets your lovers’ crown lights, joins all lovers’ lights everywhere and merges with humanity’s lovelight as well.

Chant lam, vam, ram, yam, ham, ooo, mmm
Three times, sing lam, vam, ram, yam, ham, ooo, mmm (the entire Chakra Chant) in a single exhale. Your central channel vibrates each chakra as you emit that chakra’s syllable. Hear each chakra’s message.

Lam says, “You belong.”
Vam, “Savor sex”.
Ram, “Take yours”.
Yam, “Love and let love”.
Ham, “Share”.
Ooo, “Know.
Mmm, “Transcend”.

Review
To achieve tantric union, activate the seven energy centers in your body and join them to your beloveds’.

Chant lam, vam, ram, yam, ham, ooo, mmm and heighten your security, sexuality, power, love, expression, vision and spirituality.

Coordinate each chakra’s voices and charge your central channel.

Attain tantric union with your beloved when you press chakras, chant together, and feel your oneness

Study, pray, worship, learn, grow, expand, become, belong, embrace the divine essence of all faiths by seeing your oneness in all beings. The Gaia Experiment in consciousness rushes to a conclusion. We live on Spaceship Earth, Gaia, a planet of love dedicated to our growth and healing. As she zooms through the cosmos, we are propelled with her to greater, bigger, better paradigms, realities that make our souls soar.

Where are you in the continuum between light and dark, good and evil, love and hate? How often do you go unconscious and wish you could maintain your cool and embrace love at all times? There are ways to remember. Tantra, a gift from the Gods, a sacred practice of love, allows you to become clear, helps you center and permits you to recall what you already know deep inside.

We live in wondrous times. The answers have always been with us and we now find them accessible, in our dreams, in waking lives as we encounter the mystical, magical beings that awaken us to full consciousness. In the maze of the Matrix, we often feel lost under the weight of materialism, economic hardship, social conditioning and religious and cultural programming. The "shoulds" of society weigh us down, make us feed depressed and repressed and keep us from knowing our true selves. No more.

We know that was the design because we all created it. We decided to keep us unconscious long enough for the experiment in creation to play itself out to maximum capacity. Through our interactions, good and bad, we created sufficient diversity, complexity, polarity and separation which manifested abundant lila (divine play). We've maximized our probabilities, topped our capacity and realized our highest expectations. Success!

Now it's time for the passion play to draw to its natural end. The Earth herself is ready to be reborn anew at a higher level vibratory frequency of consciousness and awareness. Celebrate!

Tantra, a high spiritual art form designed to elevate lovemaking to open portals to Source, originated in Sumer, has survived the ages, is a cryptic message from the Creator of All to her children, to help you evolve and become a conscious being. While Gaia counts down to her rebirth, you are given tools of consciousness so that you maximize your human experience and move with her to the fifth dimension, a realm of joy and bliss, where you transfigure to a high being of love.

Despite wars and attempts to keep this sacred message from humanity, the mystery unfolds before us here and in this now through tantric practice. We're remembering there's more to life than suffering, pain, misery, lack, competition, greed and materialism. We feed the morpohogenic field with our awareness which accelerates our awakening. We have the tools to overcome our short comings, to evolve and become the souls we know we are which have been hidden until now, deep down in subconscious levels.

United, awake, aware, we move beyond our skin-encapsulated self-sense that we've identified as who we are to a greater self of wonder and enlightenment. We remember we agreed to come here, to taste life and experience it all. We embrace the love from which we were created. We're grateful for every moment, every breath we get to take in this wonderful world. We look forward to the next adventure as conscious, co-creator with God.dess.

Thank you for finding us here at the Temple of Tantra. We exist to be of service to one another during these incredible times that are upon us. We are the ones we've been waiting for. Each day we remember more and more and as we look into the eyes of the souls around us, we discover we are all beloveds, all ONE, love incarnated in physical form.

Namaste ~

Please help our friends from the Phoenix Goddess Temple and the Sedona Temple who are facing criminal charges.  Please support tantra temples across America who're fighting local zoning regulations that are attempting to zone us right out of existence.  There are temples in Washington, Oregon and California that have been attacked.  There are others and we're hoping that they'll contact us and we can get more organized and support one another.

The Temple of Tantra in Maui, Hawaii is the first 501(c)(3) in the United States with TANTRA in it's name and this temple is one of the locations under attack by local Zoning Administration.  We know there are many more as we get wind of what's going on now and again. But please, let us know. Contact us at templeoftantra@gmail.com.

Some temples have closed their doors. Others have been forbidden to use tantra in their promotions or on their web sites. Others have been fined or threatened with huge fines and have closed their doors. This is a true sin against humanity and must be stopped now before it goes any further.

Stand up for religious freedom.  Support tantra and goddess temples here and across the World.

Know, that if one religion is under attack, then relgious freedom for all Americans is under attack.  Don't kid yourself that you can only defend one or two religious types and not defend them all and still preserve religious freedom on this planet.

Our temples are under attack and if one religion is allowed to fall, all Americans face loss of freedom.

Tantra and prostitution are two very separate things. There are some who try to link the two, but any of you who have studied tantra or practice it understand that tantra is an ancient, high spiritual practice that goes back to Sumer and before, is the basis of most religions including Judiasm, Christianity and Islam.  Tantra is a yogic, meditation, spiritual practice with an element that teaches couples how to love one another better.

We're all created through sex.  But we are much more than sex.

Below is a not-so-gentle reminder of what happened in Nazi Germany and other parts of the world when our backs were turned. Never again. It happened once but we must now and forever remain hyper-vigelent or we'll not be able to breathe or take a walk in the woods without all being legilslated and controlled.  George Orwell warned us in "1984".  Others now come forth.

The

5 MOST IMPORTANT VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS YOU SHOULD BE TAKING! / THERE
ARE A ZILLION OUT THERE, BUT IF YOU COULD/SHOULD ONLY TAKE 5, WHAT
WOULD/SHOULD THEY BE? / HERE's THAT "MUST-HAVE" LIST OF 5! –
By Jim Healthy for Shine! on Sunday, October 2, 2011

I usually take a fistful of nutritional supplements every day. In fact,
most people are speechless when they see my daily regimen. I also travel
with them — putting each day's allotment into plastic bags and
stuffing them in my suitcase.

But I recently left the States for a 4-week medical mission in Tibet and
my gear was limited to 50 pounds. So there won't be room for my usual
supplement supply.
So I've had to decide....

"If I could only take five supplements, what would they be?"

I only had room for five (5) supplements per day, so they had to be the
really important ones. So here they are. By the way … these are also
the ones I recommend you begin with if you're just starting out — or
the ones you can cut back to if you need to save money.

Anyway, here goes ...

1) A HIGH-QUALITY MULTI-VITAMIN

Topping the list is an excellent quality multi-vitamin. This is
essential because a multi "fills in the blanks" of your diet (no matter
how good it is), so you're not running dangerously low on the essential
nutrients your body needs for optimal functioning.

Be sure to avoid the TV-advertised one-a-days you find in your local
drugstore. These are nearly worthless because their ingredients are
based on the "bare minimum" official Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA),
now upgraded to the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI).

The RDA evolved from the old Minimum Daily Requirement (MDR) set by the
government. This means the nutrients in most of the popular multis
contain the minimum doses necessary to prevent nutritional -deficiency
diseases, such as scurvy (vitamin C), beriberi (vitamin B1), and others.
This certainly is not how to guarantee optimal health.

These mainstream multis are notoriously feeble. For example, Consumer
Reports recently concluded that Centrum is the worst vitamin for seniors
in its class. (There goes that advertising revenue!)
/
http://www.consumerreports.org/health/natural-health/multivitamins/multivitamin-review/index.htm

Consumer

Reports also found that The Vitamin Shoppe's One Daily failed
to dissolve in a simulated stomach environment, while containing less
vitamin A than its label claims.

You can avoid this pitfall by sticking to high-quality, bioavailable
multivitamins that are reasonably priced and lab-tested. One of my
favorites is Ultimate Daily Support from Real Advantage, formulated by
Dr. William Campbell Douglass.
/
https://www.northstarnutritionals.com/p/Ultimate_Daily_Support.htm?nmhsid=doqg56ble2jlp1m48ti66comj2

It's

a terrific multi that contains a broad list of vitamins, minerals,
antioxidants, amino acids, and enzymes that easily are absorbed and
quickly bioavailable. This is the multinourishing my body in Tibet.

Another top-notch product is Forward Multi-Nutrient, formulated by Dr.
Julian Whitaker, a friend and associate I've known for almost 20 years.
/
http://www.drwhitaker.com/categories/vitamins-and-supplements/multivitamins/forward-multi-nutrient-capsules.html

Julian

is a pioneer in the orthomolecular field and alternative medicine
and has done so much to legitimize natural healing. He's also a living
legend who was mentored by Dr. Linus Pauling.

2) A QUALITY OMEGA-3 SUPPLEMENT

Fish oil is today's bestselling supplement — and with good reason. The
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in omega-3
fish oil have profoundly positive effects on human health.

DHA slows your liver's production of undesirable triglycerides, making
it extremely protective against heart disease and diabetes.

In addition, fish oil is incredibly effective at reducing inflammation.
It accomplishes this by triggering the release of prostaglandins
(natural substances that regulate immunity, inflammation, blood
clotting, brain function, plus a host of other essential functions).

There's NOT enough room here to list all the healing effects of omega-3.
The highlights include: Healing blood vessel walls … keeping the blood
thin (thus minimizing clotting) flowing smoothly … lowering blood
pressure … stabilizing blood sugar … and brightening your mood.

The American Heart Association recommends a daily dose of 500-1,000 mg
of DHA and EPA from fish oil to reduce heart disease — but I think
this is a paltry dose. I prefer to take 6,000 to 9,000 iu daily in three
equal doses — and find this really helps my arthritis.

There's just one problem. The huge demand for fish oil is wreaking havoc
on marine life. Overfishing is depleting fish stocks and the oceans are
on the brink of crisis.

Even oils extracted from krill (tiny, omega-3-rich crustaceans) are
troublesome. That's because krill are at the bottom of the ocean's food
chain — and larger fish depend upon them for life. Harvesting krill
deprives all fish of their main food supply.

This is why I prefer to get my omega-3 from marine phytoplankton (also
known as "micro algae") these days.

Phytoplankton is the plant-based omega-3 food source that supplies krill
and other fish with EPA and DHA. Raised in large, land-based tanks,
phytoplankton is free of mercury contaminants, heavy metals, and ocean
pollution. Its good stuff — and you're not depriving fish of their
food supply.

3) CO-ENZYME Q-10

CoQ-10 (also known as ubiquinol) is a nutrient produced by the "energy
factories" in your cells called mitochondria. Taking a CoQ-10 supplement
boosts the way your cells produce and use energy. It also helps your
body burn fat … improves cholesterol ratios … boosts your physical
energy levels … and improves thyroid and pancreas functions.

By the way, statins — the widely — (or is it "wildly"?) prescribed
cholesterol-lowering drugs — actually deplete your body's natural
CoQ-10. Statins block production of cholesterol in the liver, where
CoQ-10 is also manufactured.

Without sufficient CoQ-10, statins can cause liver damage … irregular
heartbeat … muscle weakness … leg cramps … heart attack and stroke
(the two potentially fatal conditions that statins are supposed to
prevent).

Other medications also can limit your body's production of CoQ-10,
including: Diabetes drugs … antidepressants … female hormone
replacement therapy … and blood pressure meds. If you take any of
these, you definitely need to supplement with CoQ-10.

When shopping, labels may read
"CoQ-10" or "Coenzyme Q-10", but the more active form will be labeled
"QH" or "ubiquinol." This is a stronger form of CoQ-10, though
purchasing that version isn't essential, especially if price is an
issue. Take 100 mg two or three times twice per day, because your body
CAN'T metabolize higher doses.

4) MAGNESIUM CITRATE

You've been hearing about calcium and bone health forever — but did
you know that magnesium and calcium are like conjoined twins? Calcium
can't even be absorbed unless magnesium is present. Without it, calcium
is much less effective in maintaining your bones and regulating your
nerve and muscle tone.

In fact, new research shows that Americans need far more magnesium than
the current RDI — and that you should really be consuming twice as
much magnesium as calcium for optimal health.

Magnesium may be the most important mineral you can take because it's a
key player in 300 essential bodily functions, and is used by all of your
organs. It activates enzymes … powers your energy … and helps your
body absorb vitamin D, potassium, and zinc.

The majority of Americans are magnesium-deficient due to the
low-quality, processed foods in the typical American diet. Produce grown
in mineral-depleted soil won't provide much magnesium, either.

If you have blood sugar issues, you should know that magnesium helps
regulate blood sugar and insulin activity. In addition, magnesium's
ability to relax muscles and nerves makes it one of your best allies in
the battle against anxiety … hypertension … restless leg syndrome
… sleep disorders … and abnormal heart rhythm.

Consuming magnesium supplements can be challenging, as they tend to be
large and difficult to digest. That's why I like Natural Calm, a
fruit-flavored magnesium powder that mixes easily in water.
/
http://www.calmnatural.com/

I

take it in the evening because of its relaxing effect. Start with a
low dose, because it can loosen your stools (not necessarily a bad thing
if constipation is a problem). Another alternative is a
topically-applied magnesium chloride liquid spray that's absorbed
through the skin, which won't affect your bowels.

5) "SUNSHINE" VITAMIN D

This is rapidly becoming the miracle vitamin of our time. Every week, it
seems, there's a new finding about D's marvelous benefits. Most
Americans are badly deficient in vitamin D because doctors consider the
sun our enemy — and your skin converts solar rays into this essential
vitamin.

Numerous studies show that this amazing vitamin is protective against
all cancers (even skin cancer and melanoma!) … strengthens bones …
prevents and even heals diabetes … protects against heart disease …
lowers blood pressure … reverses depression … and elevates mood.

Whenever you can, spend 10-20 minutes sunbathing — without sunscreen.
(Your body transforms sunshine into all the vitamin D it needs.) If your
access to sunlight is limited by season or geographic location, take
2,000-5,000 iu of a good quality vitamin D supplement daily. (The
elderly and African-Americans need higher doses.)

Official recommendations call for a scant 600 iu, which is far too low.
Just make sure you purchase vitamin D3 (not D2) because the D3 form is
87% more potent than vitamin D2.

NO MORE "SUPPLEMENT OVERWHELM"

Taking these five (5) supplements should cover all the important bases
and provide your body with optimal nutrition (provided you're eating a
healthy diet).

Now I'd like to hear from you. Do you have a favorite supplement that
I've missed? Do you have a story about how a particular supplement or
herbal remedy turned your health around?

Sit with a partner. Maintain eye contact. Don't touch.

Tell her or him, "I feel separateness from you when I say to myself ... (specify all of the rational and irrational, serious and trivial, crazy and stupid and clear and astute things you say to yourself that make you feel separate from her or him.) Exhaust your list.

Your partner sits calmly and says, "Thank you" after each separation you enumerate.

Then have your partner tell you, "I feel separateness from you when I
say to myself...." Encourage your partner to exhaust her or his separatenesses: calmly say "Thank you" for each.

Then join hands. Tell your partner, "I feel oneness with you when I tell myself ... (complete with all the things you tell yourself which make you feel close to your partner..) Reverse roles. Discuss your experience with this exercise.

When you raise your consciousness to the dyadic level you still keep your bodymind awareness, your distinct personality and your inner voices, should you choose to temporarily identify with them.

When you and your significant other expand consciousness of yourselves to internalize each others' wisdom and concerns, you are on the dyadic level of consciousness. The energy, richness, complexity and awareness the two of you share exceeds the sum of both your individual bodymind energies and aware nesses. Your couple synergy is enhanced when you use your relationship so each of you grows and has more to give to the relationship as well.

Ken Keyes provides an excellent model for such synergistic dyadic consciousness. [Keyes, K., Handbook to Higher Consciousness, 5th Edition,: Living Love, 1979 and A Conscious Person's Guide to Relationships, Kentucky: Living Love, 1979.]
Keyes says to welcome upsets in your relationship. You can use upsets to raise your consciousness. He suggests you fully share your deepest feelings and process what you say to yourself which make you feel separate from and opposed to one another. You can then experience your oneness.

Relate compassionately, Keyes says, to your lover's problems as signals for her or him to grow without also getting yourself caught up emotionally. Process your own emotional upsets, feel centered and loving and then act freely. Use your relationship to stimulate internal dialogue at the personality levels of each of you, so you can both raise your individual and mutual consciousness. When you're upset, disturbed, unhappy or dissatisfied with your mate, explore your own addictions, that is, how you tell yourself your other must be and your relationship must be for you to be happy. Such addictions trigger your upset. You stop suffering and instead grow when you stop being addicted.

Change your addictions to preferences. Preferences are desires which, if not fulfilled, do not make you suffer.

* What, in Keyes' framework, are addictions and preferences?

* What does he mean when he says to upgrade your addictions to preferences?

Think of an addiction of yours that involves someone with whom you are in a relationship. Speculate on the form your addiction would take if it were raised to a preference.

* Imagine that you've up leveled your addiction to a preference. Imagine how your life would be affected. Tell me what you imagine.

* Recall a time when your intimate's annoying habit or attitude gave you an opportunity to discard an addiction and feel better as a result. Write you results.

Stop blaming each other for not meeting each other's expectations. Refrain from making addiction-based demands. Turn off addictions; turn on love. Let your intimate express anger, jealousy and other separating emotions aimed at you, while you love her or him more no matter what she or he does. Let her or his addictions be okay with you.

Realize that in disputes, you win some and lose some; that is okay.

Make your growth and self-expression help your love's growth as she or he defines it.
Before you enter a deep relationship with another, Keyes invites you to know and accept your own inner voices, personality and bodymind. Enter your relationship so you can cooperate with each other in "the great adventure of life."

Keyes recommends you avoid using intense love as a basis for involvement, since, at more inclusive levels of consciousness, you're at living oneness and love with all humanity. You are already deeply in love with everyone. Therefore, he says, choose carefully who you share your time and life games with. Choose someone who contributes to your well-being and vice versa.

"You contribute to your mutual well-being when you enjoy the 'enoughness' that you do have in your life, and thus open your heart to happiness by not creating emotion-backed demands for what you don't have. Learn to emotion- ally accept what is here and now in your life. You will find you always have 'enough' in your life."

Take responsibility, Keyes says, for creating your own happiness in your relationship. You use your relationship to raise your own consciousness only when you work on your own bodymind, personality and subself integration. Keyes suggests such integration allows you to be "in touch with the beautiful, capable and loving" aspects of your own subdyadic consciousness as well as higher consciousness. "I love you," means "You're mirroring me and letting me see the beautiful, capable parts of me."

Make your relationship delightful by being involved and sharing with your intimate, not by being addicted to your intimate for your happiness. To increase your involvement, you must decrease your addictions. Sharing means not hiding anything, so you can build a trusting base.

"Ask for what you want, but don't be addicted to getting it."

Keep noticing the beauty and preciousness of the bodymind and higher
being your intimate is no matter what subpersonality she or he is affecting.

Open to the form the relationship takes, which, for couples, may be nonmonogamous.

You function at the dyadic level of consciousness when you "discover
the 'us' place in terms of surrender, compassionate power and mutual give and take."

INTRODUCTION: Caloric excess, including increased refined carbohydrate intake, is associated with higher cancer risk emphasizing the importance of improved understanding of cancer cell metabolism in tumor survival and metastasis. AREAS COVERED: This article reviews the relationship between increased dietary refined sugar and cancer risk, with specific emphasis on the monosaccharide fructose. Cancer cell metabolism is reviewed, and the potential mechanisms by which dietary sugars contribute to the tumor microenvironment are discussed. Recent observations indicate that cancer cells readily utilize fructose to support proliferation and preferentially use fructose for nucleic acid synthesis. This review discusses the potential role of how dietary fructose can promote cancer growth by a variety of mechanisms, including altered cellular metabolism, increased reactive oxygen species, DNA damage and inflammation. Preliminary insights into potential therapeutic strategies by which fructose-mediated cancer effects may be abrogated are presented. EXPERT OPINION: Other sugars (particularly fructose, given its abundance in the modern diet) must be considered with reference to cancer cell metabolism. Cancer cells utilize similar sugars in distinct ways, which may present important new therapeutic avenues of targeting cancer.

Let's say Tracy wins, and Tantra and sacred touching, etc., is allowed in Arizona.  Now that doesn't mean that it's allowed in California or Washington, BUT, if the case makes it to Federal court, which it very well may, then guess what?  Tracy's victory allows ALL OF YOU out West to practice the way you want because the 9th Circuit will have said you could.  The laws will extend far beyond the boundaries of Arizona, and by the way, the 9th Circuit is the MOST LIBERAL circuit in the country!  How can the case get there? By coordinating with the legal team for the Native American church of which the Temple is a member.  And in case you didn't know, that's already going on!

Then look at the alternative.  Let's say Tracy loses.  What if she  had a public defender that simply didn't have the time or the vision to do this case the right way?  What is she doesn't get out of jail because of it?  Then you know what will happen?  The system will break her, because that's what it's designed to do!  It will break her, she will end up pleading guilty and going to prison.

And you know what that means to everyone else?  It means that you will be next. Because now the State will have won.  If they can break into one church, automatic weapons drawn, throwing women to the ground, smashing altars and the like, and end up sending its pastor to prison, what makes you think they won't do it again??  They absolutely will, and when you're the one with a laser pointer on your chest, it will be too late to say, "Why didn't I help back then?"

This is it.  The time for talk is over.  We've all hear the saying about "first they came for the communists but I didn't care, because I wasn't a communist.  Then they came for the Jews, but I didn't care because I wasn't Jewish."  And we all know how it ends "Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me."  Call it cliche if you want, but guess what.  They just came for you.  And this case may very well determine whether or not they keep coming for you.

It's time to put up or shut up.  Tracy needs help - she needs money.  So either we help now, or we have no right to complain later when the police are smashing through the windows of our church.

Polyamory: MMF Triad

Up to 1,400 newspapers

When poly triads and quads first began seeing their inquiries taken seriously by newspaper advice columnists, it was truly a big deal. Here we were being recognized in public as actually existing; millions of people were reading, with their eggs and toast, that poly relationships are actually possible and happening in the real world.

Now that this kind of attention is becoming almost commonplace, it hardly seems like news. But yes it is, and yes it really matters.

This week, huge numbers of newspapers are about to print the following from Dear Abby, supposedly the most widely syndicated newspaper columnist in the world:

Woman with husband and lover wants one big happy family

By Abigail Van Buren

Dear Abby: Sometime ago, you printed a letter from one of your readers who was upset over her son’s polyamorous relationship. I didn’t respond then, but now that my triad is ready to come out to my boyfriend’s family (we are out to mine and to my husband’s family), I feel the need to address this lifestyle in your column and ask your advice.

My husband and I have been together 10 years. We started out as swingers. When we met my now-boyfriend, it became apparent that it was going to be more serious than “play” partners. Our particular arrangement is a “V” triad, meaning I am involved with two (husband and boyfriend), but they are not involved with each other.

My boyfriend is extremely important to us in every way. We all work together to make a very smooth-running, loving household.

I want you and your readers to know that this IS a viable relationship with love, respect and, most important, open communication. This kind of relationship — or any, for that matter — is doomed without it.

An estimated half-million people in the United States are part of polyamorous relationships. We’re not freaks in need of counseling, but people who realize that love can grow and that there is an alternative to monogamy.

Abby, I would like to get some tips from someone who doesn’t readily accept this life or even know it’s out there. My boyfriend’s family is conservative and they know he lives with a married couple. We’ve all spent time together, and I think they like me. Of course, they don’t know I’m romantically involved with their son.

What’s the best way to tell them about our triad? We want them to know this isn’t the end of the world and that I love him very much. I’d appreciate any advice from you or your readers on this. Until we’re out of the closet, please sign me...

Nowhere And Everywhere

Dear N And E: Because you’re looking for input from someone who “doesn’t readily accept this life,” you have come to the right place. You didn’t say how long your boyfriend has been living with you and your husband, but if it has been any length of time and his parents know he isn’t involved with anyone else, it’s possible they already have some suspicions.

Because they are conservative, if I were you I wouldn’t shatter their illusions. I can almost guarantee they won’t embrace you for it. If you feel you MUST disclose the information, then do it in the same way that you have explained it to me. But don’t expect them to jump for joy.

Here's a typical newspaper appearance (Aug. 16, 2011). Join the comments; they've just begun. And here's her official site.

Why is this a big deal?

Because according to her syndication service, Dear Abby is the most widely syndicated newspaper columnist in the world.... Abby commands a client list of about 1,400 newspapers worldwide, and a daily readership of more than 110 million people.

Abby receives more than 10,000 letters and e-mails per week... has appeared as an expert on all major networks, including ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX and NBC... uses her column not only to entertain, but also to educate. In the U.S., public and private middle schools use her column to teach sex education and generate classroom discussion on a variety of subjects; the same is true in colleges and universities.... Dear Abby is used by educators worldwide as a teaching tool in adult level ESL (English as a Second Language)....

Every Web site mentioned in Dear Abby receives an immediate onslaught of viewers, and organizations mentioned are routinely encouraged to gear up to accept millions of hits....

Polyamory's huge, getting bigger every day. There have always been polyamorous relationships.  Polyamory is in the most ancient writings, from Sumer to the Bible to current times, people have always loved who they love.  In more recent times moral values changed and a part of our society has found it necessary to go underground. But anyone who looks at what's actually going on, studies DNA and the internet will soon come to the conclusion that many are not monogamous. Few marry only one person for life. Even fewer have only one sex partner their entire life.

Time for a reality check. Time to honor what is and stop making people feel bad for doing what comes naturally. It's natural for nature to diversity its gene pool. Genetic studies show there are few if any animal species that are monogamous.

There are ways to love that honors all involved, that move past lying, cheating. Infidelity hurts.  Honesty shows respect for all involved, all the way around.

Support relationship choice, whatever your personal choice may be.  We tend to shift throughout life based on necessity and circumstances. Allow a natural flow, for yourself, your friends, family, co-workers, community members.  Love is the answer. Love is the high road to living a conscious life.

Please contact us at www.worldpolyamoryassociation.com, email: worldpolyamory@aol.com, 808-244-4103.  I recommend you attend a conference, network, go to local poly support groups.  Honor yourself.

Our next polyamory conference is July 13-15, 2012 at Harbin Hot Springs, N. CA.  See you there!

Awake, aware, we become a clear vessel of the Divine, a pure channel of love and light. On this sacred journey to consciousness, we remove chakra blocks through spiritual psycho-emotional healing, personal growth work and spiritual practice.

The Sacred Matrix honors the spiritual essence of all faiths, incorporates the best of all beliefs. Together we co-create a conscious path, a direct line to Source. Reconnected we heal all wounds, become fully alive, happy, healthy, in unconditional love with all of us, divine bliss, heaven on earth.

Heaven brought to Earth dissolves the matrix of hierarchy, eliminates the illusion of separation, overcomes pain, war, death, disease and destruction. Negativity is replaced by a sacred matrix, a matrix of love where we encourage one another to do our best, heal, play, love and experience fulfillment, joy, bliss, sensuality, sexuality and right livelihood.

The Sacred Matrix, a new paradigm of conscious, unconditional love, a place outside of time and space where we feel reconnected to each other, the divine, Source. Here we feel our oneness, honor the divinity in all beings, see the parts that ring true in belief systems and develop the wisdom to move past those things that no longer support all consciousness. We free ourselves from emotional, spiritual, psychological pollution, a gridlock within our bodies that manifests as chakra blocks that prevents kundalini awakening. Within the world the gridlock appears as anger, hatred, prejudice, intolerance, crime, violence, racism, separation and war.

We break through these barriers, personal and global, to heal individually and collectively. We create paradise, a planet where love’s the primary operating system and peace that respects all life, all consciousness, prevails.

Through the Sacred Matrix, we remember who we truly are–light beings originating from Source. We operate from that oneness. We practice ahimsa (do no harm), candor (tell the truth), integrity, authenticity, kindness, pure intentions, honesty, personal responsibility, path of peace, consciousness, transparency and unconditional love.

Choose spiritual evolution. Evolve to a higher level of being, an awareness of love that’s free from war, fear, lack, prejudice, pain and hierarchy. Shift from the paradigm of the Illuminati Matrix, a design full of confusion, conflict, pain, separation and suffering to the Sacred Matrix. Embrace peace, clarity, love, bliss and Oneness, the realization that we all originate from Source, the Divine Flame that sparked us all into existence.

Purpose: We recognize the contrast between the current illusion, a Zeitgeist (world view) reality of confusion, conflict, war, disease, pain and suffering and the internal longing for a world free of strife, full of harmony and peace that respects all consciousness and allows each and every one of us to live with dignity, beauty, grace and peace. All our basic needs for survival and happiness met, as a birthright, free from struggle. Until now no single organization has offered solutions to remedy these problems. The Sacred Matrix offers a paradigm of peace where every being embodies her or his own personal journey home to oneness where they become whole, complete, reconnected to Source.

Contrast: Together we witness the contrast of separation: religious secularism, political polarization, sexism, conflicts in healthcare choices, competitive economics, environmental exploitation, and the deterioration and disintegration of our planet—Mother Earth. We recognize that if we don’t change our way of life and the way we view ourselves, each other, and our planet, we will ultimately face a future of planetary annihilation, destruction and desolation. We are in a collision course with our destiny and we still have time to make the necessary changes to save ourselves, this world and all the beauty of plants, animals, flora and fauna that we’ve been blessed to have as our home.

Solution: The Sacred Matrix offers a paradigm of peace where every human being can enter, gain and understand their own personal integrity and what it means to live from it.  All beings learn how to connect with others to form cooperatives of integrity through creating conscious, kind and loving intentional communities, neighborhoods, associations, cities, countries and worlds where sharing and love is the norm. By beginning in our own neighborhoods with friends and family, we prepare to be good neighbors and galactic citizens worthy of inclusion to higher technologies and solutions to improve our lives and save our world.

Overview: The Sacred Matrix is based on the human chakra system, a virtual rainbow vortex of light that channels through individuals, through one another and collectively across the planet. The incremental spectrums of the colors of light represent various spiritual paths and cultures we were born into. We acknowledge our ancestors, their love and good intentions and select elements that resonate with the core of our being to follow throughout our lives. These spiritual and religious paths tabs or indexes on the template of consciousness. Centrifugal force pulls us from beginning levels, the outer circle of reality into deeper awareness of greater possibilities in the inner circle. Ultimately we arrive in to the center of oneness, the Spheres of Existence, levels of pure light that radiate out to all and embrace us in divine love.

Conclusion: We recognize our path and placement on the chakra rainbow vortex of light and consciously choose to continue that emanation of Source or move to another ray of light (emanation). We realize all emanations ultimately converge into Source, the white ray of light, illumination and enlightenment. From this enlightened pinnacle of we KNOW absolute truth: WE ARE ALL ONE
