Why Learn about the Tree of Life and the Universal Kabbalah

/in , , , , , , , , /by

The Tree of Life represents every aspect of our being : spiritual, mental .physical and emotional.  Each sephirah represents a part of our body and its related organs.  It has an angel, a planet, a color. and an animal totem, that represents that sephiroth and the energies it exudes and creates.

The study of the Universal Kabbalah in the Modern Mystery School tradition is done through a series of ascensions in which the group enters and in the next several months will engage either in person or by zoom to report to his /her group what his or her life has been since climbing up the tree.

After the four ascensions up the tree then over the weekend they go on a spiritual retreat at a specific location and share meals room and board with the Kabbalah instructor and all the Kabbalah members.

Hold the knowledge passed onto to you and sacred and not to be shared with anyone outside of your Kabbalah study group.  Kabbalah is a search for the truth of our existence and how we came to be and our purpose in life. It tackles the questions Who AM I .?  Why am I here?  Why choose this family?  What is my purpose? What is my contract with God/ or whatever your belief system holds in the highest esteem. ( Buddha, Krishna, Brahma ).

The purpose is To Know Thyself so that whatever challenges we face in life or in the spiritual we can address , conquer, and move forward and never be stagnant.  Stagnation creates passitivity, laziness, depression, self pity, doubt and anger.  Kabbalah allows us to see our faults and correct them.  It provides us with a means to forgive ourselves and those around us.

Join us on this journey into the Universal Kabbalah.  Find your true self and know its vices and virtues.  Learn the Kabbalistic way of resolving issues.

Be at peace and Fiat Lux !!!!

Why Did I Become a Healer

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

  I am writing this as I’ve often been questioned about the path of healing I chose.  Most people would ask me ”  Why did you leave nursing ?  ”  and frankly it was not intentional but rather a set of circumstances that led onto this path.  Throughout my nursing career I firmly believed in miracles and saw through the intercession of our Lady of Lourdes a lot of miracles.  Patients that were given a mortality rate of 85%  eventually a year later either woke up from a coma,  survived pelvic injuries , brain injuries ,  cancers for which they said had no cure and even a patient with spinal necrotizing  fascitis survive .  His surgeon was so grateful for this miracle that he said his faith in God was restored and began taking his family and wife to Sunday Mass and services.

I then went through a series of negative relationships which culminated in an attempt on my life.  Following this harrowing experience I found myself praying to God and asking for his assistance.   This led me on the path and in seeking answers I found the life activation the most profound of healings that I ever experienced.  It was like a light switch was turned on and I found myself more creative, able to parallel park with ease and so many other phenomal things began to emerge.  I still had many challenges as I sustained some spinal trauma and had severe back pain and periods of not being able to walk for a week almost every month for a year. It subsided but I still had to deal with the effects of the emotional and physical trauma I had experienced.  Therefore my progression was slow but steady.  When I was told that I needed to have breast surgery my guidance was not to accept this recommendation and I pursued the energy healing sessions.  All the healings were received from a certified MMS healer and in about 3 years I was in full recovery.

As I had a gap in time from my nursing career I found it difficult to find work .  I tried home care but that is not my forte.  In the interim I sought to have a space dedicated to my healing and teaching path.

Now you may ask me Well you chose that path but are you successful?

Now you must realize that success is subjective.  I have flaws and my marketing and money skills need improvement.  Success lies in the fact that I challenged myself to do what many would consider impossible and that was to open a center .  Success lies in the fact that I am comfortable speaking to people and   communicating with them. I am able to talk in front of a group of about 40 people which is something I had never done in the past. So just like Mr Paolo Cuelo in his book the  “Alchemist” .   Santiago The main character in this book arrives at the church and falls asleep contemplating the strange way God has guided him to the treasure. He wakes up digging and laughing about how God left gold at the monastery through the alchemist to ease his journey back. A voice in the wind says God wanted him to see the pyramids’ beauty. ”  Therefore this takes time and patience .  Sometimes the more baggage we have the more difficult  it is to move forward.  Along the way I claimed them as being me I was the strange one,  the stupid one, the victim who deserved any and every beating she got.  So when the Modern Mystery School teaches us through the Kabbalah program to let go of our ego I held on tightly to it.  I perceived myself as being a warrior but with a caveat must suffer.  If I let go of this perception what do I have left ? 

So slowly as an onion being peeled it seems as if it is endless .  That’s what The Mystery School does they enable you at your own path to find answers to the following questions:  Who am I?   What am I ?Where did I come from ?  Where are am I going ?  

So each day becomes the day to improve and hone down on my skills and move with the flow.  Success is achieved when I recognize my faults and weaknesses To have a gratitude journal to thank God and for my being alive. 

This is my path and my purpose it to empower people to recognize their divinity, their connection to God ,  the universe and the cosmos.  To recognize that they are not defined by age, sex, occupation, religion or sect.  They are individual expressions of God .  They are spiritual being having a physical experience and that were never born and never can die.

These concepts are difficult to divulge unless realizes in essence that in every religious teaching our major existence or goal is to reach heaven and that occurs after death.
In essence all religions recognize the existence of a soul and an afterlife .  Hence there’s truth to the concept that our bodies are merely like suits that are worn and discarded at death .  The scientists have actually determined that the soul weighs 1/2 oz.  They did this by weighing a hospital patient before and death. 

Therefore our very existence is merely to learn lessons and do good and produce beauty and joy for ourselves and others .  This creates harmony and peace and joy within all the people that surround our world and spreads throughout the families and communities and throughout the world.  World peace can be achieved if enough people spread this peace joy harmony and beauty to those that are living around them and their community.

In essence through the teachings of the Modern Mystery School I have been able to incorporate and carry out these teachings to improve the quality of my life and for those around me.  I’ve seen the positive things that occurred after my life activation and then initiation.  With the tools provided and the sound guidance of the teachers and guides I found the answers to my reasons for existence, my purpose, my path and discovering whom I really am.  This empowered me to move forward and do and achieve things that I would have never done had I not been a part of this spiritual community.

I ask the reader to have an open mind and absorb what I have passed onto them and instead of judging to meditate on what has been suggested here and then decide whether this is the correct path for them to follow.

In light and love I remain Phyllis Francene CEO of Center for Healing and Empowerment .

What Makes a Good Motivational Speaker ?

/in , , , , , , , , /by

A good motivational speaker must believe in him or herself.  They must be passionate about helping people and treat everyone equally without judgement, attachment or opinions.

 

People feel their energy and within about 15 sec will either trust and believe the speaker or distrust them.

The speaker must engage and form a relationship with their audience.   From their speech,  movement, and veracity they will engage the audience and create a sensation and feeling of comraderie, and trust .  Once this occurs massive changes can occur.

Linda Nichols and Tony Robbins are prime examples of strong motivational speakers.  They have changed the lives of thousands of people for the better.  People’s lives have been transformed.  They have happy successful lives and created a healthy romantic relationship leading to marriage and followed by children.  

Do Aliens and Angels Exist 9/20/18

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

If you surf through the internet you will found numerous videos about people discussing their alien abduction experiences.  You will also discover videos of people discussing their experiences with an angelic presence either in the form of a human or as an ephemeral presence that saved their lives.

Therefore this is through my own personal experiences and research concluded.  If you had experiences with time shifts and subconscious memories that resurfaced many years later you may have had an alien abduction experience.  However are you influenced by society and the various stories that have surfaced or did you truly experience it.  That’s where hypnosis and regression therapy must be utilized to either prove or disprove this phenomenon.

There are numerous stories of angelic apparitions and miracles that have occurred due to their interaction with the person who was either beset by a unfortunate circumstances or an illness.

These situations are based on situations that have immediate miraculous results.  There is  normally proof that the person who was terminally ill had no medical chance of recovery but through this angelic visitor they were healed and there is medical proof of a full recovery.  The tumor is no longer seen on the CT scan  or when the person went in for surgery the surgeon could not find any evidence of the cancerous growth that was seen on Cat Scan or an Ultrasound.

So based on these phenomenon and the persons rendition of the circumstances and the visitation or abduction I believe that in this vast universe and heaven there are many things which seem strange but are occurring every day. 

That is why I strongly recommend a spiritual faith and practice.  Daily meditation and yoga or martial arts or any other form of exercise that brings you joy will enable you to withstand any challenge or circumstance that occurs in your life.  When you live in joy and reflect it out in your life through your expression of beauty and good you open the doorways to endless possibilities and you can process and readjust to any challenge that occurs in your life.

How do You Help a Client who Has recently Suffered from the Effects of Physical and Mental Domestic Violence?

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

This topic is very dear to my heart on a personal note.  I sustained mental and physical abuse at the hands of my husband.  He had a very supportive family whereas I had a distant family. 

I made a lot of incorrect decisions because of the trauma I had sustained prior to meeting him.  Because of that and the natural instinct to protect myself from harm I chose to seek what I thought was love but was actually not be alone and feeling protected.  But I had poor judgement based on how I was treated at home and therefore being treated badly was normal to me.  

Knowing and understanding your client’s plight but not becoming sympathetic and remaining objective is critical in assisting them to achieve an optimum state of mental health and physical health.

I did go for counseling at a domestic violence center.  It assisted me with being able to express myself and the traumas I had endured both with my husband and in past relationships prior to the marriage.

This is what I discovered on my spiritual path:  The life activation jump started me and I saw the world around me differently.  I was motivated and then with an emotional cord release and removal of negative energies prayer I was able to go beyond my comfort zone .  I heard the word magick mentioned in an introduction to the study of the Universal Kabbalah and did not overeact and become opinionated and close minded.  I embrace the Tree of Life and decided to study and be a part of the Universal Kabbalah community.  Despite the stresses and anxieties from my job and litigation i was able to journey up the tree for next 9 months.  I successfully completed that journey despite not fully embracing it and studying it.  I would have achieved more had a judiciously studied the Kabbalah as I journeyed up the Tree of Life.

During this time I received other healings such as the King Solomon Healing Modalities and then 

an initiate in the lineage of King Solomon .  Later on I became a life activation practitioner and healer and teacher of metaphysics.  All of this was achieved because I never gave up and just kept on continuing on the spiritual path.

I could feel it in my heart that this is the correct path for me take.

So from my own personal experience of being a person who survived domestic violence;  I can confidently develop a package for these women and men to enable them to go beyond their comfort zone and move forward in their lives and get to know themselves.  When we know ourselves we can achieve anything  and we need to respect our environment , the air, and plants and animals  and treat them with reverence.

When you goand  do this for yourself ,  your self confidence soars ,  you are no longer the victim;  you are the conqueror of your negative ego and of memories and things that no longer serve.  You can find and have a positive understanding of what life is about.  You learn  how to achieve what you need and create the kingdom you want for yourself your family and those around you.

My wish is that everyone recognizes their regalness,  joy, abundance and understand that the Hierarchy of Light and the ONE will never leave but will stand beside you and protect you on your spiritual quest.

Blog 28 Why is it so Difficult to Have Free Will and To Be Responsible for Our Lives

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

We need to take responsibility for our lives and the choices we make.  But what happens when our world appears to be turned inside and out.   When we’re out of our comfort zone when we have changed jobs and perhaps chosen one that puts us out of our comfort zone.   We worked for years in a profession run by a corporation or an institution and decide to work for ourselves.  This can be very difficult as now we have to set and organize our days.  We are just doing the same thing from day to day.  We have to set our schedule and determine how to become known and successful.  We are running our lives and cannot be affected by temptation .  

In these circumstances we need to perhaps learn new skills and take courses that will enhance our skills as an entrepreneur or we may need to hire a life coach.  It is always best to be accountable not to ourselves but to another person who will lift us up when we’re down and will offer realistic advice on how to achieve the goals we want to accomplish.

We need to choose wisely and develop strategies that will enhance the business and assist us with our goals.

Therefore establish a set schedule and a regimen that will assist  us in staying focused with  our work and business.  Then we can more easily manage and attain our goals.

Blog 26 How to Develop Your Psychic Intuition ?

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Believe it or not all of us have psychic abilities.  Some people are born with no veils meaning they are not affected prior to birth from having the gift of sight or hearing and may have premonitions of events prior to them occurring .   But what about the average person that does not have the gift of sight or hearing or foreseeing.  The Modern Mystery School actually teaches a course entitled How to Develop Your Spiritual Intuition.  Basically in this course you learn to apply exercises that develop your hearing seeing and ability to trust your inner guidance.  You learn how you  become the captain of your ship and do not rely on soothsayers or psychics for answers to questions about your life and how achieve your goals.

You are provided exercises that actually allow you within about 3 months of time to have increased each ability by 10%.

Did you know that we only utilize about   %  of our conscious mind and about 85% is operated by our subconscious mind?

I cannot provide you with this information in this blog but can recommend that you attend the workshop when it’s available in your area.

I can guide you to observe what is around you and to test your senses .  Look closely at your surroundings  and then try to recall the placement of certain objects or things in that area.  You will be surprised at how quickly you can expand your consciousness and what is all around you.  Your world will expand.

Also playing chess, Sudoko puzzles and the rubric cube assists to expand your consciousness.  As you enhance your skills you may attract more abundance and the people that will enable you to achieve your goals.

Exercise is also a means of increasing our blood supply and also assists us in the transmission of electrical stimulations to the brain and also enables the messages from the neuron to the axons to move with ease and transmit it throughout the brain and into the CNS .  Exercise enhances our cognition, leads to brain rejuvenation and prevents the effects of aging on the brain.  

A study was done of nuns in a convent and they consented to be part of a study on the effects of Alzheimers’ on the brain.  They also agreed to have brain autopsies performed on their corpses post mortem.

One of the sisters was aged 87 and was totally spry and quick witted and spent every evening doing crossword puzzles and playing chess and checkers with the other older sisters.  Upon her death it was noted that even though her brain showed evidence of Alzheimers her activities that enhanced  her brain capan iin capacity and ability to communicate and remember things.

 

Being outdoors and enjoying the sunlight increases melatonin production and also the production of Vit D3 .  With the increased production of melatonin the person is able to sleep soundly , be calmer and maintain a positive attitude .  Vitamin D3 also assists with a positive attitude and also maintains supple bones and as one ages the possibility of broken bones or hip and knee problems is lessened.

 

Reading a book and engaging in activities that peak one’s interest and imagination in life also assists the brain to stay young and free of diseases that diminish the brain function as one ages in life.

 

Therefore barring any accidents or other injuries in life we can maintain good cognitive function and enhance it and achieve a very rewarding and fullfilling life up to and including our elderly years.

Blog 25 What is Agape Love ?

/in , , , , , , , /by

AGAPE LOVE the love Christ has for all.  He loves all of us despite what we may have done in our lives.  The Kabbalah teaches us to aim high and to be truly free of all that does not serve we are not ruled by our emotions or feelings but in a very spiritual way.  You may not like somebody but you can love them.  

You set boundaries and don’t let people walk over you and become a martyr or a victim.  You recognize the divinity within yourselves and everyone around you.  Your outlook on life changes and you move about free of attachments and now move with an ease and grace that you can do anything and can be anything that you want to be.  You also recognize your divine purpose and pursue those things that enable you and assist in your achieving your divine mission on earth.  For some it is to be a healer : you pursue a degree in medicine or in nursing or another aspect of the healthcare profession.  For others you may seek to be limo driver .  You enjoy driving people to their destination and speaking with them.

Flow this love is not the easiest but when it occurs miracles happen.  Things seem to flow in a positive and synchronous manner.  For example you may have lost your job but suddenly you’re in the coffee shop speaking to someone about what happened and suddenly they mention they know of someone or a company looking for someone with your credentials.  You set up an interview the following day and within 5 dys you’re hired .  So as you can see when one door closes another door opens

I have experienced that when  I use agape love in my healing work and I feel the presence of Angels and of Christ as present during this work.

None of this is easy and the more free choice one has the more difficult are the temptations presented before me .  Why is this ?  I believe that it is easy to be negative and to just follow our carnal desires.  To lead a holy and exemplary life is difficult but I have found that utilizing the tools provided to me by the school enables me to perform these tasks and enable to do this work .

 

Blog 24 Do You Believe in Angels ? I Do Believe and I Will Tell You About Angels

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

From early childhood I have experienced the presence of angels.  Angels can come to us in many forms such as :  protectors warriors, healers, teachers, and mediators between our moving across the veil.

Here are some of my encounters :  I was in a very dangerous situation  I was dying and was 7 yrs old from scarlet fever.  I clearly recall the doctor in Italy stating in Italian she’s going to die .  My mother decided to nurse me at home as I was dying.  My mother nursed me but contacted many relatives in the US to pray for my recovery.  Well what happened was I recall myself out of my body and looking at the bed and hearing a being to the left of me staying you can stay or you can go your choice.  I decided to stay and was given the highest dose of a drug to combat that disease.  Miraculously at no point in time was I hospitalized for the scarlet fever.

I met a very dangerous man through someone who worked in the hospital I worked in.  What occurred was he suffered from PTSD and also was partially psychotic from his experience in Vietnam.  He also later on I found this out suffered from the effect of Agent Orange.  Well one evening he decided to scare me and appeared to be sleeping but suddenly some creature appeared.  I could hear and feel it but could not see it.  It sounded like a hound of hell.  All the kittens and cats he had in the house jumped onto the roof to escape this thing.  I kept on trying to awaken him and he wouldn’t awaken.  The thing came over to my left side and as it was about to touch me I was yelling out the prayer ” The Our Father ”  .  Suddenly I saw a sword coming from the window and shining brightly and as it did the thing seemed to be sucked up by the sword .  The energy of the entire room grew peaceful and the cats and kittens came back inside.

Another time I experienced something strange … a friend wanted me to take their black female dog named Missy  .  Well I could not take her with me as my super did not allow pets in the apartments.  So that night I awoke in a start and saw the dog staring at me with blood red eyes .  Something told me she was dead.  Sure enough the dog wasn’t on my friend’s property and someone stated he had taken the dog for a walk in the woods and heard a gunshot and never saw the dog again.   I believe my angel wanted me to realize the danger I was in and that is why the dog appeared in my dream.

I was driving home one night and had a flat and it was 1 am and I had to be at work at 7am.  I was walking down a bridge and this man kept on stopping trying to pick me up and I said no I’m fine thanks.  II prayed to St Michael the Archangel and asked for help I was in fear for my life.  This man had a strange box alongside him.  Suddenly a state trooper pulled up behind me he was absolutely handsome blond hair blue eyes steely and a glow all around him and he asked me what ‘s going on he called for a tow truck to help me out and asked me and I told him about the strange man and my fear that he was dangerous.  Suddenly the officer called in for back up and drove as fast as could be. Well as I was driving back once the tire was repaired  I saw a few miles up the road what seemed like a group of people looking at something which looked like the that car was empty and the state trooper was no where.  I still believe to this day that was an angel who protected me at my time in need and assisted me in being able to drive home and be at work at 7am.

 

I could continue to cite many other experiences and have learned a lot in the study of the Universal Kabbalah as taught by the Modern Mystery School.   All I can say is that we need to discern good vs evil and discern good angels from others.  Choose to believe or not believe the choice is yours.  I believe that we are eternal spiritual beings living in a physcical body to experience life in this physical dimension and reality.

 

 

Blog 13 Meditation and Its Importance How it Helped Save the Lives of the 12 Boys and monk trapped in the Thai Cave

The Thai cave football coach taught his team to meditate to help them through 17-day ordeal, reports say

Chanthawong, who’d spent a decade as a Buddhist monk, could meditate for up to an hour at a time. Reports suggest he helped guide the boys in the practice when they needed it most

Stop. Breathe. Let everything go.

That approach appears to have been a technique used to help keep 12 boys and their football coach alive for more than two desolate weeks of being trapped in a flooded cave in northern Thailand.

All 12 boys and their coach were rescued this week by a team of Thai navy SEALs.

The 11 to 16-year-old football players and their coach, 25-year-old Ekapol Chanthawong, were exploring the cave after practice on 23 June when it suddenly flooded because of heavy rains from a monsoon. A pair of British divers found the group 10 days later.

Instead of screaming or crying, the group was sitting quietly in the dark, meditating.

Chanthawong, who’d spent a decade as a Buddhist monk, could meditate for up to an hour at a time, his aunt told The Associated Press. Reports suggest he helped guide the boys in the practice when they needed it most.

Meditation is known to have a host of health benefits and may be uniquely suited to help people cope with extreme stress. Several studies have found links between meditation and an immediate, measurable reduction in feelings of depression and anxiety as well as physical pain.

It also appears to help us turn the volume down on the intensity of nearby disturbances, whether it’s a cacophony of car traffic or the crash and whirl of powerful monsoon waters.

Turning down the volume on stressful situations

For a long-term study published in the journal Emotion in 2012, Richard Davidson, a neuroscientist at the University of Wisconsin, looked into the idea that meditation might help us cope with outside disturbances.

He found that when he tried to startle two groups of people — one that was meditating and one that was not — with a sudden interruption like a loud noise, the meditators were far less perturbed than the people who weren’t meditating. Those results were true regardless of whether the participants were new or experienced at the practice.

 

Thailand schoolboys rescue – in pictures

That benefit of meditation could have proved hugely helpful to the Thai players, who were cold, scared, and alone more than 2 1/2 miles deep into a labyrinthine cave network.

Additionally, meditation may be linked with heightened feelings of empathy, another key asset for a small team of isolated people who need one another to survive.

In a follow-up analysis, Davidson played the sounds of stressed-out voices to groups of experienced and novice meditators, then observed their brain activity patterns in an MRI. He noted increased activity in two brain areas known to be involved in empathy among members of both groups but found that activity was significantly more pronounced in the brains of the experienced meditators.

These results suggest that, given enough time, people who meditate regularly might have an enhanced ability to respond to others’ feelings and empathise with them without becoming overwhelmed, Davidson concluded.

‘We are not sure if this is a miracle, a science, or what’

A growing body of research on meditation also suggests that even a few minutes of daily mindfulness is linked to lower stress levels, more positivity, enhanced creativity, and even better focus.

Something about meditating seems to help people deal with worrisome thoughts. It’s somewhat like taking a broom to the bustling thoughts that can crowd our heads and waiting until all the dust has settled.

All those benefits likely drew Chanthawong to the practice – and helped keep his team alive.

“We are not sure if this is a miracle, a science, or what,” the Thai navy SEALs wrote on Facebook on Tuesday, after the rescue was complete.
