Do you ever feel that if you admit you want something, it is less likely to manifest in your life? Here’s a real neat explanation for this from Neale Donald Walsh:
You see, James, you may not have anything that you ask for. Why? Because the very act of asking for it is your announcement to the universe that you do not now have it. And that announcement is a statement to the universe of your perspective.

Today I’ve been working on the “Divine in Nature: With Inspirational Quotes from Edgar Cayce” 2009 calendar. The images I worked on included:
2012 : The Mayan Calendar and the Yucatan Peninsula
with Carol Chapman
According to their calendar, the Maya believed that their world would end on Dec 21, 2012. But what will happen?
Part of the 2012 mystique stems from the stars. On the winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years.
Carole Chapman is an internationally-acclaimed speaker, author, photographer, and radio personality specializing in new age and spiritual subjects including dreams, reincarnation, nature spirits, Atlantis, and life after death.
She has been researching 2012 and the Mayan calendar for many years, and is just returning from a research trip to the Yucatan for Jan 08

Have you ever heard someone say, “My second marriage is like a totally different lifetime compared to my first.” Or, “If you knew me when I was young, you’d never believe the person I am now.”
Edgar Cayce’s trance readings say that in our present lifetime we will work on a number of past lives. In some of his trance readings, he occasionally mentioned that an individual was now moving into the influence of another past life as a way of explaining the changes the person was currently undergoing.
Therefore, if you presently find yourself with financial or relationship challenges, take heart, there’s a good chance that your current circumstances will soon change, especially if you find yourself undergoing a period of transition.

Today I receive an email from my “friend in Boston” who humorously mused that her present financial problems probably originated in a lifetime in which she was rich but did not use her abundance wisely. Her statement reminded me of one of my past lives that surfaced in a dream.
In this past lifetime, I had been a very wealthy woman. I was also lovely, young and had three small children. When my husband had married me, part of the arrangement had included vast tracts of land as part of my dowry from my father. My husband traveled the world in four-masted schooners on his business ventures. He had “a girl in every port.” I felt so lonely and unloved. This life occurred during feudal times in France. I used to look out the window of our estate at one of our peasants gathering wood for his fire in our forest. I would think that he had to work so hard just to keep warm that he would never have the time to be unfaithful to his wife. I actually wished to be poor.
I relate this story to show that troubles in this life may not necessarily be the result of “just retribution” for misuse of abundance. We may have actually wished for the condition we presently find ourselves in.
The lesson is: Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!

A blog at http://dotie.wordpress.com refers to a book by Swedish geographer Ulf Erlingsson that says that Ireland is actually the last continent of Atlantis. The book is called Atlantis from a Geographer’s Perspective: Mapping the Fairyland. It was published in 2004.
Erlingsson takes Plato’s description of Atlantis in his 360 B.C. treatise, Timaios, and compares it with the geography of Ireland, for example, that both Atlantis and Ireland are islands ringed by mountains with a flat plain in the middle. He says that Ireland, like Atlantis, is 300 miles long and 200 miles wide.

Like Edzna, Ek Balam is another great ruin that few people visit. It is so little visited that the sign is just a wooden board with “Ek Balam” painted on it. Of course, because it is so relatively unknown, it was especially on my list of places to visit.
If you’re visiting Chichen Itza, and have your own way of getting there–in other words, if you are not in a tour group and therefore can go places other than wherever the bus takes you, I highly recommend a side trip to Ek Balam. It’s about 30 miles north and east of Chichen Itza. The well-paved road heading north of Valladolid takes you to the Ek Balam archeological site.
Unfortunately, the turn off and driving directions were not very clearly marked. I find it imperative to have a map when driving in the Yucatan Peninsula. From the map, we could see there were two turn offs from the main highway that would get us directly to Ek Balam.
Incidently, while driving on the highway, we say fields of agave plants which are the raw ingredients of tequila.
Getting back to Ek Balam, like Edzna, it has a pyramid you can climb, something you can’t find in the more popular ruins of Chichen Itza, Uxmal, and Tulum.
Like Chichen Itza, Ek Balam has a marvelous ancient astronomical observatory. For me, the big attraction at Ek Balam are the amazing stone carvings of men with wings two/thirds up the largest pyramid. Some people believe these carvings represent angels. If they are angels, the winged men look like ancient Mayan men rather than our ephemeral European images of angels.
We love the Moon Travel Guide but it did not list the only restaurant we could find near to Ek Balam. A fantastic Italian restaurant in the small village of Ek Balam near the ruin. As you’re leaving the ruin, you’ll see a sign with an arrow directing you to the Italian restaurant. The food was wonderful. Absolutely scrumptious. The restaurant also has an adjacent motel.

During this year’s January 2008 travel to Yucatan, Mexico, we visited a ruin I hadn’t even heard of before. It turns out that Edzna is the location Mel Gibson chose to stage scenes from his movie about the ancient Maya, Apocalypto.
Edza is located south of the popular ruins of Tulum and Chichen Itza on the Yucatan Peninsula. Unlike the more popular ruins, convoys of buses filled with tourists do not descend on the archeological site. Nonetheless, we discovered it to be beautiful. The main pyramid was built in five levels and is filled with chambers you can explore. It is one of the few pyramids in the Yucatan you can climb. Most of the more popular ones have been roped off.
