This month’s conference call was about how to remain calm in the midst of ever increasing heightened sensitivity to changes occurring everywhere in the world. AMAG used the image of water coming to a boil and said that it would continue to heat up as time goes on. They further reminded us that causing ourselves to feel afraid does nothing to help the situation, but could be considered “cruelty to animals.”

What can be done to change how animals and plants are treated on the planet was also discussed. AMAG made suggestions for changing our tried and true, all too familiar habits about health and illness.

The conference call itself was a challenge that turned out pretty well, considering various factors that included malfunctioning telephone equipment. Thanks to the efforts of many people, we were able to capture a recording that turned out to have fairly good quality sound. It has been edited for time and some background noises and you may wish to adjust the volume controls on whatever player you’re using since the volume levels are not consistent.

AMAG always helps people learn valuable lessons by simplifying the language around whatever is bothering them. Many people say they learn more easily if the lesson is embedded in an important event. Forty minutes prior to this conference call, I fully expected everything to work as it had done for the previous eight calls, since I had all the “puzzle pieces” at hand. However, what I learned was that changing my attitude about what was happening helped me to fit the pieces together differently and to create a whole new picture called “Conference Call.” ,

I hope you will enjoy listening to this Conversation with AMAG. Your comments and further questions are invited and appreciated.

Does it sometimes seem that life is a reflection of what you’re thinking and feeling and saying to yourself and others about what life is? ... that your life is a transient reflection of an inner actuality, just as the doorway in this photo is reflected in the river?

In this month’s call, AMAG reminds us to appreciate physicality even though it is an illusion within an illusion. They talk about multiple dimensions and how to relax into the security and comfort of knowing that we are supported within a “multidimensional soup” and that all is well even though the world is shaking in response to the awakening of consciousness.

They respond to questions regarding how to stay centered while feeling sympathy and empathy and how to allow changes in our lives to “transpire and expire.”

Your comments are welcome. Please feel free to send suggestions for future topics as well as questions you’d like to ask AMAG.

In this conversation, AMAG talks about the importance of using an inner compass to discover how to move freely, anywhere in the world that one feels inclined (or aligned) to travel, to do whatever one feels inspired to do.

They encourage us to observe ourselves not only from the perspective of our “smallest possible viewpoint of the character-self,” but also to become comfortable expanding our viewpoints so that we can observe ourselves from a much larger perspective, from the self that is “at ease and aware of what is going on all around the planet.”

Responding to a caller’s question about deciding whether it may be safe to travel, AMAG suggests a way to determine whether the concern she is feeling about the potential of being involved in a future disaster is because she wants to be involved in such an event, or whether she is receiving information about such events that are occurring all around the world all the time, in general, like “outside noise that can be distracting.” They remind us that we have deep memories of turbulent, planetary events, so we do not doubt they can happen. But it is important for us to be clear within ourselves when asking direct questions about future events so that we can filter out the “background noise” and better determine whether we want to experience a specific exciting event in future ...or not.

In this conversation (edited to remove background noises and long pauses), AMAG responds to a request to share information about the pictogram phenomenon known as “crop circles.”

Another caller requested that AMAG speak more about how to stay alert to one’s surroundings in present time. Other questions prompted comments about beekeeping and communing with plants.

AMAG talks about the importance of noticing patterns, not only as demonstrated by the sizable formations created by the flattening of specific areas within crops such as corn, wheat, barley, rye, or rapeseed, but also the multiple patterns we create in our lives by the choices we make every day. They suggest that we examine photographs of these crop formations, select those that capture our attention, and then use the images as tools for contemplation and personal inquiry.

There are many good websites you can visit to view collections of photographs of crop circles, such as:

plus Suzanne Taylor’s excellent DVD available from iTunes or by clicking here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/what-on-earth/id430909932

YouTube has a variety of videos of crop formations like this one.

In this month’s conference call, AMAG talked about the benefits of becoming more aware of where we are positioning ourselves and what we’re saying and doing -- as we choose to wake (or take naps) during this time of dramatic change on Earth. They said that what’s happening is happening whether we are aware of it or not, and offered suggestions for staying comfortable and aligned with ourselves. While there are many speculative theories being distributed around the world in an effort to explain things in ways that our minds can understand, AMAG suggested that we use our hearts rather than our minds. By paying attention to which stories or descriptions strike a personally resonant chord deep within ourselves, we will be able to accept how fast we are moving and be able to stay aligned and balanced so that we will know what our roles are within the mystery of what is happening now.
