Thekey to this higher awareness is weare not alone. Back to the beginningof time the Earth has been visitedand populated with alien life form.There has always been a connectionthat people have made withextra-terrestrials throughout historythat is recorded in the art of the past.The reports from people who havehad close encounters as well as theHollywood depiction of friendly andnot so friendly visitors to Earth are asure sign the duality exists even inour Universe. The many stories toldaround the world of lights in the skyand visitations are in the millions.The common form for all life isthe spirit body. Extra-terrestrials donot always have a physical body andtravel in spirit form. We too travelwithout bodies in the spirit realm andincarnate into physical form. Is thepopular television series ‘Star Trek’and Captain Kirks finding so off themark or is this is the wild imaginationof Gene Roddenberry? The world hascried out over area 51 and other findingsthat keep us wondering what istruly out there.The facts are they are already hereand living and working amongst us.They have been adapting and geneticallyintegrating into humanity. Theyhave slightly different characteristicsbut all in all look human. There aremany aliens who live here and remainout of sight as well as those in spiritform. There are extra-terrestrials fromall over the Universe that have differentcharacteristics and consciousness.As we experience here on Earth manydifferent levels of consciousness thesame exists in space. There are thosethat want to help us and those whowould like to rule over us again. Thewakeup call for humanity is thatalthough we have felt superior andNIGHTTIME NOIRBedtime Stories for AdultsBy popular demand: a rebroadcast of“I’m With Band-Confessions of a Groupie”by Pamela Des Barres • Aprill 11 - June 6by Sonja Graceat the top of the food chain we are infact not.Does this mean you might findyourself in Mel Gibson’s movie ‘Signs’with a baseball bat in hand thinkingswing away? This is a much moresophisticated experience. The dualityprovides drama and Hollywood depictsthe duality with total expertise.The reality is we will attract what weare a vibrational match to. If you areliving in fear and afraid of everythingincluding your own shadow then youwill manifest scary events that groundand secure your notion of fear andconfirm it. If you live in a state of trustand experience life from a place of observingthe duality you will manifestmuch less drama and have the experienceof clarity. The key to other lifeforms existing is to really understandit is a much bigger community thatwe hail from. There is a serious call tohumanity from the higher realms towake up and not go into the slumberthat gets created through checkingout. Overeating and over medicatingare causing humanity to be absentat a time that we need to be presentand fully awake. There is as muchimportance on understanding theUniverse and who lives in it as thereis in knowing who your neighbors areand where Nauru is. We have been livingin the dark on this matter for toolong and the collective consciousnessis awakening.Author of Angels in the 21st Century,Sonja Grace is a leading mysticand spiritual intuitive who providesguidance to people all over the world.She works with all of her clients over thephone providing immediate stability,clarity and guidance through her readings,counseling and processing work.Sonja Grace sees and receives messagesfrom loved ones who have crossedover and offers a venue for healing inthis world and the spirit world. www.sonjagrace.comproduced at KMUN • mondays 10pmyour hostJudith Altruda KMUN 91.9/ASTORIA • KTCB 89.5/TILLAMOOKClam Chowder Feed.

Hemlock.Nature of Thingsby Tricia Gates ArcigaEight years away and I have goneback to church. Not just once a week,but twice. My churches are an “ecstaticdance” group and a late-eveningSpanish-language mass in Manzanita.What lured me back were the peopleand the communal sharing of spirit that,in my mind, defines church. My definitionof church is formed in defiance ofold norms. It fills the vacuum created bymy conscious, if temporary, jettisoningof the institution and is as wide and richas the spectrum of religion and ideology.It is a definition that allows me to sharespiritual community, on some level, withalmost anyone.Institutions of all stripes can drawbold lines that exclude people, or elevateto supreme importance doctrinesthat divide. Yet spirit unifies—in spiteof those who wish to meld it to theirpurposes, to stake a claim to it. Thedivine spirit in us all is identical and onecan no more sculpt and contain it thanwind. Spirit unifies, and thus rattles thebigoted religious as well as the bigotednon-religious (whose bigotry is oftenaimed at the religious). It unseats thosewho would use it as a tool to dominate.Spirit breathes life into everyone, eventhose so resistant to spirit, so dedicatedto burying it that they seem to be holdingtheir breath.In truth, I tend to choke on the edgesof religious creed. I carry into any religiousor spiritual experience more doubtthan actual belief. Yet I can simultaneouslyhonor the life-giving religiousand spiritual creeds we humans havedeveloped. A creed is nothing morethan a system or formulation of corebeliefs, and most of us have core beliefs.We may not recite them communally ascreeds, and hopefully we do not use ourcore beliefs as weapons. Yet this doesn’tchange the fact that we have them.When the hard angles of creed are usedlike sharp elbows, to shove people out,to define who is unwanted rather thanto iterate vitalizing understandings, thenI believe creeds can do more harm thangood. Otherwise, they are formulationsby groups of like-minded individualsthat infuse life with meaning.The pinnacle of the church experiencefor me is the connecting of spiritin myself and others. At Santa Catalina,I most experience this in the “passing ofpeace.” This is a moment in the service,characteristic of liturgical traditions,when people walk around the sanctuaryand share “the peace,” shaking the handof one person after another and saying“la paz.” With each passing of the peace,my spirit goes on a little mating mission,if you can pardon the earthiness of myanalogy. The spirit in me looks into thesmile of another, touches the radiantfingers of another, and connects with hisor her spirit for a potent moment. Onehand bony and fragile, another rough,another gentle and passive, almost limp,another childlike, tiny and sweaty andvelveteen. Each hand, the portal to asoul.23 may11 hipfishmonthly.com
