Video: Were they extraterrestrial spaceships or just something strange in the sky?

In this video, I want to tell you about something really strange that was happening in the sky when we were taking the photo that became the cover of When We Were Gods. The reason this was especially strange for me was because, during my past life regressions, I had memories of originally coming from Arcturus to earth. It made me wonder if Arcturians were keeping track of those of us who had become stuck on earth. If you’re interested in the story of my hypnosis sessions, including experiences in the fabulous world of Atlantis, it is in my book, When We Were Gods.

(By the way, just in case you can’t see the video, or it stops partway – it happened to me, my computer is over 5 years old – the transcript is below. In addition, here’s the YouTube link to the video: http://youtu.be/6b_i_dZAwyc. It might be easier to see the video directly from YouTube.)

My son, Adam Balsley, was going to be my model. And very early in the morning, we were driving to the beach to get a sunrise photo. My senses were on hyper alert, because we were driving through an area that is locally known as the Ghost Coast.

It was also that the headlights of my car had picked up this old abandoned house that looked like it was slowly sinking into the swamp. Paint was peeling, the windows were crooked. It looked like if there were ghosts anywhere, it was going to be in that house. Plus, there was mist drifting over the salt marshes and in front of us, and it made everything really spooky.

When we got to the beach, though, it looked like everything was going to be OK. A wind off the ocean had blown the mist away, and the sky was a gorgeous red color.

Take a look at this photo of Adam dancing around to keep warm while we were waiting for the sun to rise. See those puffy clouds? They were a little bit strange, because they were arranged in a semi-circle beside us and behind us over the salt marshes.

OK, now, here’s the weird thing. There were no clouds anywhere else in the sky. Not over the ocean in front of us, and not in the rest of the sky above us.

I wish I’d taken a photo so I could’ve shown you how regular they looked, arranged two-by-two, about 30 or 40 of them. In fact, they reminded me of a battalion of aircraft hovering just above the horizon.

And that bothered me. Let me tell you why.

I found this book in which the author says she communicates with Arcturians. And guess what she says Arcturian spaceships look like? Like little clouds. (Arcturians are Extraterrestrials from Arcturus, a distant star.)

So, were they Arcturian space ships? Had they turned up to watch the photo shoot?

I have no idea, but it was an amazing coincidence. You know, my best explanation is that this is some kind of natural phenomenon. Perhaps it’s what gives this area the “Ghost Coast” name. In any case, it was just a little bit strange. . . and also quite lovely.

Interesting Videos on the Bermuda Triangle

Discovery has put together a series of short, yet interesting, videos on the Bermuda Triangle. However, I’m not sure how accurate they are, for example, a couple of them imply that every month either a plane or boat disappears in the area. I don’t think so. If that were the case, we’d hear of it, and I doubt commercial flights would be going out of Miami. Still, the footage is interesting and includes some experiments being done to explain why boats sink and planes crash. You can watch the videos here. The videos will automatically play one after the other, but there are some commercials in there as well.

Could the Bermuda Triangle be similar to the Atlantean towers?

I was contacted by a lady who had watched a special on the Bermuda Triangle. She had also read my book, When We Were Gods, and while she was watching the TV show, she remembered that in my book there were three main towers and information regarding a triangle formation. She is now wondering whether the Bermuda Triangle is actually a natural occurrence of the type of energy source that was used during Atlantean times.

In my Atlantean memories, the towers were situated to work WITH the existing natural energy waves. They harnessed and directed the already existing energy that is in the world. Taking that into consideration, it certainly is POSSIBLE that the Bermuda Triangle is somehow tapped into and using that energy.

Health tip: Drink pu-erh Chinese tea to lower cholesterol and triglycerides

Pu-erh tea cake in its wrapping

Another thing I’ve learned from visiting Chinese tea houses is that pu-erh tea, which sounds a lot like “poor” but is pronounced more like poo-er with the accent on the first syllable, is supposed to be a very healthy drink. When I visited The Best Tea House in Richmond, British Columbia, the proprietor Michael Fung’s assistant tried to get me to pronounce it correctly in Chinese, but I finally gave up after exhausting my tongue.

The Best Tea House specializes in pu-erh tea. This is a tea that is considered medicinal in China, although it is made from the leaves of the same tea plant (Camellia sinensis) that produces green (unfermented), oolong (partially fermented), and black (fully fermented) teas. Pu-erh is not only fermented but also aged for a long time, usually years.

Michael Fung’s The Best Tea House in Richmond, BC. Note the wrapped Pu-erh tea cakes on the upper right and left shelves.

To my senses, pu-erh tea cake or brick, before it’s steeped, smells like hay in a stable – a pleasant earthy aroma – but just a bit strange when you consider that you’re going to break a piece off, infuse it with hot water, steep it, and then drink the resulting tea. However, after it’s steeped – and the Gong Fu style of tea drinking is often used for savoring pu-erh – it smells, to me, more like black tea. I like that it has less caffeine that green, oolong or black tea.

According to an article on “Pu-erh” in WebMD, not only does pu-erh contain less caffeine, which stimulates the central nervous system, heart, and muscles (Eek, maybe I should lighten up on the green tea), but also pu-erh contains antioxidants and “other substances that might protect the heart and blood vessels.”

Pu-erh tea can be an amber to brown color

Michael Fung suggested puerh tea for me, because it is “warm” rather than “cold” like green tea, and will therefore be less likely to create agitation in the body, as I understood him. I assume the “warm” and “cold” refer to properties in Chinese medicine.

OK, so here’s the really exciting part: I was surprised to read in the WebMD article that studies have shown that drinking pu-erh tea can reduce cholesterol. The article surmises that this can be due to pu-erh containing small amounts of a chemical called lovastatin, which is prescribed to lower cholesterol. Other research indicates that drinking pu-erh tea may lower triglycerides as well as low-density lipoprotein LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and raise high-density lipoprotein HDL (“good” cholesterol).

Interestingly, a Financial Times article about California cooking expert Alice Waters says that Alice has attributed a personal cholesterol drop of 100 points to puerh tea! 

Wow! I’m getting encouraged to get over my issues with pu-erh’s hay/stable aroma.

According to the WebMD article on puerh tea, it is produced mainly in the southwestern part of China in the Yunnan district. Michael Fung told me that this area also has many tall old tea trees – ancient tea trees, some of them hundreds or even thousands of years old.

Tea trees? I thought tea leaves grew on bushes. Well, it turns out that the tea plant will become a tree and that there are wild old tea trees in Yunnan, China. For a photo of an old tea tree, take a look at Andrew Stein’s Wild China blog post, The Ancient Tea Trees of Southern Yunnan.

Health tip: Drink Chinese Green Tea

The Empire Center Marquee, Richmond, BC

I love to visit Richmond, British Columbia, because it’s almost like going to China. Almost 50 percent of the population is from Asia. At times, with all the Chinese lettering on the shops, you almost think you are in China, especially in the Empire Center mall. If it wasn’t for the English letters on the sign, I might forget I was in Canada!

It’s such a wonderful place for taking video footage. On this day, I was looking for The Best Tea House, a tea shop I had found online, because of my fascination with drinking Chinese green tea and the lovely little teaware accessories found in Chinese tea shops.

My fascination with green tea came as a result of doing the 40-day Manifestation Prayer, described in my latest book, Have Your Heart’s Desire. This is a wonderful prayer I learned from J. Everett Irion and is based on the spirituality messages in the Edgar Cayce readings. You have to pray the prayer every day for 40 days before anything happens. On the 41st day of my prayer for wealth, I ended up in front of a Chinese tea shop. This felt strange since I’d been praying for wealth, but, my doctor had recently told me to drink green tea as a preventative. When I went in the shop, I discovered that I’d been drinking packaged green tea incorrectly and was told the right way to drink green tea. Basically, the prayer had brought me to health, rather than wealth. Then, I realized that health is probably the greatest wealth on earth.

Tea with Michael Fung at The Best Tea House

So, on this day, I was happy to have found The Best Tea House in the Empire Center and went in to have some tea with the proprietor, Mr. Michael Fung.

The Vision – Excerpt from When We Were Gods

When We Were Gods:
Insights on Atlantis, Past Lives, Angelic Beings of Light and Spiritual Awakening

Chapter 5:
The Vision

As Lynn started to summarize the Atlantean lifetime, she asked, “What is the reason for your needing to reconnect with this old, old memory now, in terms of the unfolding path that you’re following in your life?”

I answered, “My sense is to gather the faithful … It’s that there are people that could be trusted … that are good.”

I saw young people bowed on one knee. They were frightened and in despair because our world seemed insane to them. Around them swirled a maelstrom of darkness. The evil and selfishness around them fell away as they began to arise and glow. They were the Golden Ones, the hope of the world. Their souls were aligned with God—to bring in a New World in which there would be a thousand years of peace. It was my purpose to awaken them to their destiny.

Video: Taking the cover photo of When We Were Gods: Only one chance and an unexpected difficulty arises?

What do you do when you have only one chance and an unexpected difficulty arises? In this video, I’m going to tell you about an unexpected difficulty that occurred while taking the cover photo of When We Were Gods. I’ve received so many compliments for this cover photo that I thought you might like to know what it took to take the photo. (By the way, just in case you can’t see the video, or it stops partway – it happened to me, my computer is over 5 years old – the transcript is below. Or, you can go directly to YouTube to watch the video there. Here’s the link:  http://youtu.be/PSgvKF-528c.)

Transcript: For my model, I asked my son, Adam Balsley.   At the time, he was in college and home for the weekend. Unfortunately, that meant we had only one morning to take this photo.

We woke up at dark and headed out before first light. When we got to the beach, the sky was a gorgeous red color. Adam started dancing around to keep warm.

Just as the sun cracked through the horizon, he turned to face the sunrise, raised his arms in the “God is Greater” pose, and I snapped the first photo.

Unfortunately, the picture I had in my mind was supposed to have the sun way down at his feet to illustrate how the light of our soul fills us with spirit.

It wasn’t ‘til I got to the beach that I discovered that to get a photo like that, he probably should have been standing on a hill. Of course, there wasn’t a hill in sight, and the sun was steadily rising.

What to do? Well, the only thing you can do in a situation like that is to just let go and let your intuition take over. And that’s what I did.

The result was two magnificent photos. The first one became the image on the cover of The Golden Ones, the original version of When We Were Gods. The second one became the cover of When We Were Gods.

Once the sun rose over Adam’s head, the photo op was over.

By the way, if you are thinking of taking a photo like this, it is really dangerous to look directly at the sun and can cause blindness. Once Adam’s head was no longer blocking the sun, I was finished, I was out of there. And Adam, who was facing the sun, had his eyes closed the whole time.

I am immensely grateful to Adam for making this marvelous photo possible. To me it says so much about who we really are as souls in the earth.
