Forgiveness

Hello! I have been learning the act of forgiveness and it is and has been a powerful lesson for me. I was reminded of this when I was watching the daytime program "Starting Over" which is about several women who are sharing a home and getting past issues in their lives with the help of two life coaches and a psychologist.

Today's program dealt with mothers -- specifically their mothers and how their mother have influenced their lives--and I'm sorry to say that most of these women were still at the stage of blaming their mothers for their lives.

For me this was powerful, for it wasn't too long ago that I too blamed my mother for my current circumstances. One of the life coaches asked all to close their eyes and to finish the sentence: "When I was a little girl I wish my mother would have....".

The common answers were "...love me.", "...value me.", etc. Basically how they felt about what had been done to them by their mothers.

I answered, "....I wish my mother would have been happier."

For me, that was a great realization, for it was the first time I realized that I had forgiven my mother for the things that she did during my lifetime that caused me pain. She wasn't perfect, but she did love me. And she cared about me and listened to me and taught me much. I never appeciated it the time, but I have come a long way and have forgiven her for...being human. She did the best she could with what she knew how to do, often under difficult circumstances. For that I applaud her and love her. And forgive her.

My mother passed on several years ago, on the 21st of January. I felt her presence the other night and thanked her. I now realize that I have forgiven her and in doing so have forgiven myself.

Remember that your parents are only human-- remember to love them. When the time is right, you can learn to forgive both them...and yourself. And in doing so, this will bring light and love into your heart and soul.

Sad News from Crystal Skull world

Hello All,

Well, I've been feeling abit under the weather lately and when I consulted my crystal skulls, Prometheus and Lazarus, they were very quiet. But today I received some sad news which might have contributed to their silence and my mood.

I received an email from Joshua Shapiro, who has a crystal skull mail group at Yahoo.com. Joshua is one of the original people who brought crystal skulls to people's attention in the 1980's. He is the original crystal skull explorer and is co-author on two books on crystal skulls. He has worked tirelessly from across the globe to bring the news of crystal skulls to the world. He and his wife, DesyRainbow visited the Chicago area in the summer of 2004 where his skull, Portal de Luz, met my primary skull, Harvey. For learn more on all this history of my skulls and my friendship with the Shapiro's, you can go to either to my website, www.amethystmoon.com or to www.lightearthenergies.com.

Needless to say, Joshua and Desy are probably a big reason I now am involved with crystal skulls and I cherish my friendship with both of these fine people. Joshua wrote to all of us on his mail list today to tell us of the passing of a fine gentleman who is one of the guardians of "Ami" -- the Amethyst Skull which first lead Joshua to the world of crystal skulls.

This blog edition is dedicated to Al Ramirezor and Ami. Please read Joshua's email to all of us and send your prayers and blessings accordingly. Thank you.

(I have posted a picture of Joshua's latest book which shows a picture of both Portal and of Ami.)

Until next time,
Blake

From Joshua Shapiro:

Dear Friends and Members...
It is with a very heavy heart, that we must report the passingof a very special friend, that both Desy and I have knownfor a number of years now. If any of you are familiar withour latest book, you will recognize his name.

On Sunday,January 8th, in Nevada, our dear friend Adolfo Ramirezor we called him Al, moved on to a higher realm of life.Al, was one of the guardians of the ancient crystal skullknown as "Ami", or the Amethyst Crystal Skull. I had heard about a connection that Al had with this skullmany years ago but in 1997, was the first time thatAl contacted me by regular mail. In November of 1999,during a visit to Las Vegas, to give a public talk there, was the first time I met Al. He came to the lecture and even discussed his connection with the crystal skulls. For those of you who never knew Al, all we can say isthat he was one of the nicest and kindest people youwould ever want to meet. When he was in good health he always had a cheerful attitude and was fun to bearound. Besides being one of several guardians of thecrystal skull "Ami", he also worked very hard to help his Hispanic community and end bigotry. He was a person of a very high level of integrity. We will never forget our time in California, in November of 2001, when Al and his partner Stan Chan, arranged for us to visit with them and to see "Ami". We were able to bring our friend Maggie Fox from Chicago who worked with a Meridian type of device that allowed us to see energetically the effect of "Ami" on thepeople who volunteered to do some test with us. Also we had a chance to sleep with "Ami" in our hotel room and Al stayedin the room with us that night.

In the photograph that we have of Al holding "Ami" thatwe show in our new book, you can see that not only didAl have a great love for this crystal skull and honored the skull very much but that perhaps he may have had another lifetimeas its guardian before (possibly a Mayan lifetime).It was Al's wish that "Ami" would be able to be sharedwith many people in the world one day. Part of the reason for this was because "Ami" helped Al with a very serious physical problem he had in 1991. From the interview with Al in 2001, he said:"But speaking for myself, I have always enjoyed the skull, I have always thought about the skull and this skull helped me in arecovery method (before when I had a serious brain problem) and I recognize that this type of information is what other peopleneed to know about, so we are at that point today."

What happened was there was a blood vessel that was not functioningproperly in Al's brain during this time and causing him some problems. There is a surgery that the doctors knew about that has been able to remedy this problem but generally it is only successful with younger people. An older person, like Al, the physical body is not able to mend itself. The doctor's warned Al that if they did the surgery he could become like a vegetable but Al, who has been a fighter all his life decided to go ahead with the surgery anyway. Unfortunately, as the doctors feared, Al was barely able to speak or even think, when the surgery was over. So, Al asked his family to put "Ami" (the skull was just calledthe "Amethyst Skull" at this time) on the ground, with the back ofthe crystal skull next to the back of his own head and he just thought to himself, "I will get better" (over and over) -- he did this process every day and eventually he totally regained all his faculties and was able to speak and move and live a normal life again after a few months. The doctors didn't believe this could happen.

So "Ami" is still for sale and is held by a business group, that Al was a member of -- but we hope that one day "Ami" will be free to travel and have contact with people as was Al's dreamespecially after the healing he received from "Ami". So lets us all send a good energy to Al's soul on his newjourney -- he will be surely missed by all of his friends andfamily.

Thank you for your kind attentionand for honoring our friend Al.

Hello and Introduction

Hello!

As the insistence of Prometheus, a star crystal skull who I became caretaker of in November 2005, while visiting Santa Fe, New Mexico, I have started a blog. (Pictured: Prometheus and I at a Chicago botanical garden.)

I am actually not too familiar with blogs, although I do understand it is a method of getting information out to the general and directed public.

We do live in the information age and we have entered the New Age. It is here where my specialty lies and to which I shall write about. Material may be channeled by Prometheus and his associate, Lazurus, a larger clear star crystal skull. He too was part of the New Mexico trip. Or it may be channeled by my other master spirit guides, angels, etc. On occasion it may be my own words--wouldn't that be novel!

What are crystal skulls? you ask. Crystal skulls are unique messengers; they are both contemporary and ancient. Their popularity rose in the 1980's and '90's with advent of both books and TV specials on their origins.

To say they were controversal in nature would be an understatement and a subject which I plan to address in a later blog. As well as more about them in general.

Tonight is a simple introduction of myself, Ms. Blake Cahoon, intuitive energy and light worker with several websites that can serve as a further introduction - www.amethystmoon.com and www.lightearthenergies.com which is where this blog's link shall live.

So, hello and once again I am off to a new adventure -- the world of blogging.

Until next time, remember to honor your Light!

Love, Light and Peace,
Blake
