The Shamanic Verses of Krystal Klere : The Shaman's Mission
Hi all,
I have now completed my six months training as a Shaman although I was told by friends that I was already a Shaman in my poetry. (I often go into a trance during writing a poem and also recieve poems and stories in my dreams.)
Therefore I want to thank you all for your patience and for your emails of support. On a practical level it would also appear that my everyday problems have been resolved by legal means. Although I am a Shaman I am one that has her feet very much on the ground, (at all levels of Reality/reality!)
In the future I shall be continuing with my Shamanic work and also broadcasting my poetry. They will eventually all be put up on Motionbox the new AOL video channel. (I am having problems subscribing to Youtube at the moment so I'll have to look at that).
I am going to try to install one here to start The Shamanic Verses of Krystal Klere :-
The Shaman's Mission
Until next time,
As always,
Blessed be,

Conspiracy Theories and the Truth
*
Hi all,
Sorry I have been away for sometime. I have had some real world issues, (as in the external world), as opposed to Real world issues to deal with. The physical may be mundane at times but it is necessary to deal with it to keep my soul on the Earth plane and I intend to be here for a good while longer yet. That said I still could not help myself from coming into contact with some interesting conspiracy theorists even at a meeting where I thought they would be the last people to be. And what they said made me start thinking.
Now I am not going to name names and not because I am afraid of being sued, or real world retaliations etc. That doesn't bother me one iota. And to be honest I am not that interested in the "facts". Now that may come as a shock to some people who know me because I am known to be an intellectual when it comes to Science and the physical world. Generally I approach such things cautiously. However I do not think the current conspiracy theories about the New World Order is about physical reality in totality. I believe for the most part what these people have come into contact with and are seeking to describe is spiritual in nature. I just think that either they do not have the mechanism to realise that what they are encountering is spiritual in nature, (for good or bad), and so they describe what they experience in physical terms. Either that, or they do realise that what they are experiencing is spiritual in nature but seek to explain it in physical terms so that is more understandable, (read "palletable?"), to a wider sudience. If the latter is the case then I think they have been less than helpful to their own cause because what they may have meant as a metaphor has been taken literally by many people and in doing so has caused, in some cases, a great deal of mental distress.
However, what interests me even more is that even if these people realise that they are encountering spiritual forces, (that may or may not exist as seperate entities external to themselves or may be forces within them, or in some cases both),that to the conspiracy theorists that posit any kind of New World Order the forces are largely seen, or encountered, as evil, malicious and hostile.
Now I am not saying that these forces do not exist but what I do know is that in my encounters with the spiritual that the forces I encounter THAT PREVAIL AND ARE THE STRONGEST are those that are positive. That is they breed optimism, joy and Love. I truly do believe that evil can exist as a seperate force in the world but in an untimate sense it is not Real. Only Love is Real. All evil will eventually pass away.
I think this is so True that at some deep level every soul knows this however much they attach their identity to their ego and the physical world. And the conspiracy theorists ultimately have to admit this as their final conclusion. That Love is the only Ultimate Reality. However if you really believe this then you should show this love in the way you live on this Earth. It is not some ethereal reality that we will encounter after death, or after the New World Order has been done away with, or when aliens from another planet have finally conferred their superior wisdom upon us. It is here now, inherent within each one of us. Love is not what our soul eventually will "have"; it is what our Soul really Is. Our job on this planet is Realise It.
So when you come into contact with various conspiracy theorists don't worry about their "facts". On that basis you probably can't prove them to be right or wrong in an ultimate sense. Rather try to tune in intuitively to gain a feel for their Spirit. If it feels Loving they are on the right path even if their "facts" do not feel to fit. You could say that they are heading in the right direction and will get to the Truth eventually.
A person once said "Show me the God a person believes in and I will show you the state of their soul". I believe that these days you could almost say "Show me which conspiracy theory a person believes in and I will show you the state of their soul".
And if you cannot intuit their Spirit look to what they do in the world. Do they ultimately cause fear and distress or Comfort and Love? That way you will know the Truth about them.
As one of the Masters said "By their fruits ye shall know them". Don't look to their "facts" for answers. Look to their fruits.
Stay well and safe and trust your intuition. It is the Source within you.
Until next time,
As always,
Blessed be,
KK

Reverencing Life
Hi all,
Well a lot happens in a small space of time and looking after animals seems to bring me into contact with all sorts of people, some whom I would rather not wish to meet.
Recently I found a stray dog who I reported to a leading animal charity in the UK. Their attitude from the outset was rude, hostile and rather nasty. All the onus for getting the dog to the appropriate shelter was put on me even though I explained I had found the dog and it was not really my responsibility.
I was treated with suspicion until I gave them my name and told them that I was a contributor to the charity. However I was shocked at how I was treated initially and wondered what impression they made on other people. They certainly came across very differently to how their publicity campaigns portray them.
I decided to do a bit of checking on the Internet and found that there were horror stories all over the Internet about how this particular association has seized animals from innocent owners and even acted illegally in doing so. I can tell you it opened my eyes. I would never support this charity again.
Their attitude was like that of some Police Officers who have been in the job too long, or predatory Social Workers who are over zealous. I think you are getting the picture. They saw abuse and criminality everywhere and their attitude to people was deplorable. (This was institutional and ran through the culture of the organisation. It was not just one or two individuals having off days).
Their attitude reminded me that it is not good enough just to want to save a particular section of life from abuse or cruelty such as animals or children. The point is to recognise that all life is interconnected and at the end of the day is Life Itself. And that Life is all its forms should be reverenced. Not just certain sections of it.
It is indiffencible to be wanting to save animals from abuse, (and in truth the orgainsation I am talking about doesn't even do that very well), and to be abusive to innocent people in the process. What good you do with one hand you cancel with another by this approach. Reverence and compassion should be for all and this can never come about by having a cynical and dictatorial attitude to to any form of Life even if you believe it to be degraded.(And if you see any form of life untimatately as degraded perhaps it is time to re-examine how you actually see Life Itself).
Until next time,
As always,
Blessed be,

On Animals, Instincts and Being Careful What You Wish For!
Hi all,
Just to say that things are really working out well for me now and how it really is interesting the way the Universe is always unfolding even when things just seem, or appear, chaotic.The two kittens I fostered are doing well and have now gone to a forever home.
However word got around that I was an animal carer so I got a call from someone who was in contact with a gerbil rescue organisation The CavyRescue Organisation. Would I foster three gerbils that had been "liberated"? (No need to go into the details regarding the liberation). Well, I hummed and hawwed but you can guess my answer. In the affirmative!
In looking after animals I have discovered, (or rather re-discovered), a part of myself that has lain dormant for some time. And that is the fierce and protective love that I have for things in my care. Now don't get me wrong I don't mean the type like "my child or animal can do no wrong" type of sentimentality. (That is only harmful for all concerned). No, I just mean a fierce protective love for anything that has been abused which is magnified for anything that is in my care. My motto for healing the planet is "One child, one person and one animal and one plant at a time". If that's all you can do it is not only ALL you can do; it is EVERYTHING!
As the ancient proverb says, "If everyone swept his own doorstep, then the whole world would be clean."
Well I wished for life and as they "Be careful for what you wish for for you will surely get it!". And that common sense advice has been around long before the commercial "masters" of manifesting made their appearance in the West.
All I can say is CHECK! CHECK! CHECK! before you part with any money for anyone claiming to be able to help you manifest your dreams because right now I believe there are many charlatans climbing on to this particular gravy train.
Until next time,
As always,
Blessed be

Affluenza - The Disease of Materialism
Hi all,
The picture to the left is of the hand of King Midas - the mythological king who was cursed by the fact that everything he touched turned to gold. And of course that meant he could not eat! So all his gold was worthless.
That is how I feel about many of the trappings of modern life. A British doctor has written about how materialism has failed to make the West more happy and how the very excesses of material abundance have produced more mental illness and depression in the West than is experienced in the developing world. For more info about this condition go here
Recently I have had a few experiences of what is really important in life. I received many material gifts over the Christmas period but some seem worth less now because one of the givers has treated me in a very bad manner without just cause. The persons only excuse is that they were "self absorbed" at the time. So I would ask what is the point of giving material gifts to a person if you cannot also give them your time and your pleasant disposition? Or if you are not able to give them your time immediately to explain this to them in a pleasant manner?
As Kahlil Gibran says:-
"You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give."
(The Prophet)
However on another matter I am also expanding my family! As you may know I have fostered and adopted many children in the past, (in addition to my biological family) and I still continue to foster children occasionally. However I have now moved on to adding rescue animals to my family.
I recently inherited seven fish from a dentist friend of mine who had a stroke and could no longer look after them Under normal circumstances I would not have an aquarium because I would not voluntarily cage an animal. However in this case it was better than the alternative and I know they are very happy because they have started breeding!
I am also fostering two kittens who had a unfortunate past and they are adorable and so trusting after what they have been through. I hope that is also something to do with me!
I once had a boyfriend who I was on a first date with and we went to a Greek restaurant. The restaurant had two resident cats who promptly sat at my feet. He decided I must be an OK person on the basis of those two cats instantly liking me! I hope so!
Until next time,
As always,
Blessed be,

Krystal Klere's New Year's Message
Hi all,
First I would like to thank you for all your best wishes for my having a Happy New Year - I absolutely am doing so! And I would like to wish you all a Very Happy New Year, a Wonderful Life and Infinite Love.
The thing I would like to concentrate upon in this New Year's Message is the power of Now. Yes I know that this is the title of a book, one which I happen to be reading at the moment. But the concept itself is not new. The concept referred to is also called the Eternal Now. If you want to know more about this as presented in modern terms please read the book "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle.

But the concept itself is not new. The concept referred to is also called the Eternal Now. If you want to know more about this as presented in modern terms please read the book "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle.
But I would also like to concentrate on the now in the chronological sense of the word, as really that is all we ever have, (in the realm of time that is which is where the material world manifests itself).
Usually at the turning of the year as we see out the old year and see in the new people either concentrate on the past, or the future, or both. We concentrate on the past as we review the past year to assess whether we achieved the things we set out to and we look to the future as we do that most traditional of things - make New Years Resolutions.
Well I gave up making New Year's Resolutions a long time ago. Now if I want to commit to a path of change I do it when I am ready. And that isn't always at the start of a New Year.
Instead I want to set up a new New Year's Tradition. That of a New Year's Gratitude List. Just as the only way you can ever really live is in the present, the only way you can ever really appreciate your wealth is in the present. Not the wealth you did have, or will have, but the wealth you have right now. And you can appreciate the wealth you have right now by doing a New Year's Gratitude List. Ideally a gratitude list should be done every day, but if you can't do that then at least do one once a year. At New Year.
I have started my New Years Gratitude List and it goes something like this, (in no particular order of importance):-
Thank You God/Goddess/Divine Spirit/The All That Is/Life etc. for:-
My children
My husband.
My readers.
My health and the medicines I take that sustains it.
A socialised health care system that support me.
My poetry that give me entry to the Eternal Realms.
Etc. etc.
May I be forever grateful and appreciative for all that I have right now at this moment in this place and at this time.
That gives you an idea. .... Also if you are ever down write another gratitude list. It will do wonders for your Spirit.
And remember I Love You all.
Until next time,
As always,
Blessed be,

Krystal Klere's Christmas Address 2007
Hi all,
Well this is my second Christmas address and what a year it’s been. I have published “Songs from the Jangled Heart” and “Petals from the Lotus Heart” this year. The last one was published to raise funds for a children’s charity and sales have been doing very well.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your best wishes and support during this year. I have been asked to do more radio shows as well as keeping my blog and I will try to aim to do one a month. Remember that these can be emailed to you for free and that they are broadcast on media other than just the Krystal Klere Kommunications channel. If you would like to have details of the other media outlets please send an email to KrystalKlere@hotmail.com c/o Neil.
Now for the Christmas address which will also be broadcast on Christmas Day (UK time) on the Krystal Klere Kommunications channel at Gabcast.
What is Love?
At Christmas we think about Love. This is because Christmas is a Christian festival and Christians believe that Jesus Christ was born at Christmas and gave His Life for the saving of the world. They believe that this was one of the greatest acts of Love. Even if we are not Christians we are reminded of the birth of a baby and for most people a baby is considered the fruit of Love.
But I also hear many people ask in modern times what is love exactly? In our modern age when relationships seem dispensable and we see abusive people on TV chat shows declaring that, whatever their behaviour, they “love” the people they are hurting this is not a surprising question.
I am going to attempt to give my answer and you must decide for yourself whether it speaks to you or not. Or whether some parts speak to you and others do not. In the end it is your responsibility to decide what you believe.
First I would say that Love is not a feeling; love may be but Love is not. What is the difference I hear you ask? Well what I want to concentrate on here is Love not love: love is what most people would call personal love. It is how we act, feel and do when our ego’s are involved and there is nothing wrong with that. However, with all personal love we have an investment and it involves our self. However there is nothing wrong with that because we have a self, and an ego to nurture while we are on the physical plane. But what I am concerned with here is Love.
Love is not a feeling and it is not an action. Love in this form is our Intention. That is it is the Will of our Soul. However it is not Intention only; for it to be Love it must be acted upon to the best of our ability.
I will give a very concrete idea of what I mean by Love here and how it can be acted out in the world.

I will give a very concrete idea of what I mean by Love here and how it can be acted out in the world.
Alcoholics Anonymous is a very well known Fellowship where alcoholics meet together to try and combat alcoholism. One of the steps of their Twelve Step Programme says this about making amends to people hurt by the alcoholics previous actions:-
(9) Make direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
In my opinion carrying out the first part of the step without the second part could have been loving in the personal sense of the word because it has good intention behind it. It is about someone wanting to make amends.
However there is a lack of Wisdom in it if taken alone because it would not have considered, however well intentioned, the effect the amends would have had on the person receiving them The first part of the step taken in conjunction with the second part however shows Love because the ultimate determinant of behaviour is how other people will be affected. This means that even if carrying out the first part would make the offender feel less guilty it cannot be done if it will cause further injury to those already hurt.
Therefore the Intention behind step (9) of the AA twelve steps is to do the Most Good and the Least Harm. I think this is a good guide as to whether one is showing Love or not.
There may be many times when what we want to do because we love someone may conflict with what we know we should really do if we really Love them. For example, if a beloved child or pet wants more food to eat after they have already had a good meal, (out of greed I mean), many times we want to give it to them because we want to indulge them. In other words we want to please them because we love them. But we know in our hearts that if we really Love them we shouldn't’t do so because we are the one in charge of their long term health and know that such actions would be detrimental to it. This is where our Intention, (Love), may conflict with our completely human feelings, (love). And it is where Love, (if carried out), creates an Action. (In this case that of denying our child or pet more food).
Notice I wrote Love produces an Action not an action. This is because I believe that although Love is Intention, if it is True Intention it must be acted upon in the world. If it isn’t, it is merely intention. And we all know how insipid intention is.
How many times have you heard someone say that they “intended” to do something and never do? You know that it is not worth the breath they use to say the word and it has absolutely nothing to do with Intention which is Spiritual and produces Love.
Therefore I would conclude by saying that Love is Intention that Manifests as Action is the world.
Sometimes the Action such Intention produces may not be recognised by others as Love and may, because of other factors, cause effects unforeseen. However as long as the Action was motivated by the Intention of Love it is Love.
Your Soul will know it and so will God.
May I wish you the Very Best Wishes of the Festive Season whatever your beliefs and always, always, Love. And remember I Love you all.
Until next time.
As always,
Blessed be,
KK
