			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In keeping with a patriotic and military theme, I am starting a new painting of our President.</p>
<p>When I started out to do this, I wanted to choose our greatest president, and at first I was going to paint Abraham Lincoln&#8230; but them something stopped me, and I realized that our nation&#8217;s greatest president is always our current president in office! And I am so proud as an American to paint our beloved President Obama. This will be a painting based on his official white house photo.</p>
<p>President Lincoln came into office at a crucial time in our nation&#8217;s history. These times are no less demanding, and for just such a time, we have the right man to lead us, and who we can support with all of our hearts. Thank you Mr. President, we are all behind you, you are in our prayers.</p>
<p>Here is how far we got with this last night. This is 47&#8243; x 47&#8243;, acrylic on hardboard.</p>
<p><a href="http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_8688-1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-686" title="IMG_8688-1" src="http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_8688-1-300x295.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="295" /></a></p>
<p><em>God bless America.<span id="more-685"></span></em></p>
<p><em>*************</em></p>
<p><em>Well, I got a talkin to by honest Abe up in heaven. I think he is a little miffed that I skipped over him and started on President Obama first! I was set on painting Abe, and at the last minute my heart went out to our president and I wanted to paint him. &#8220;No way that young whipper-snapper upstart is getting the jump on me!&#8221;, Abe said in so many words! &#8220;I want my portrait!&#8221;  Okay, okay Abe&#8230; calm down, I&#8217;ll get to you!</em></p>
<p><em>So I will get another panel gessoed and started for Abe&#8230; I need him on my side. </em></p>
<p><em>*************</em></p>
<p>Here is where I am at. 6 rows down.</p>
<p><a href="http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_1112_800.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-857" title="IMG_1112_800" src="http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_1112_800-300x298.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="298" /></a></p>
<p>Here is where I am at today, Aug 30, 2010:</p>
<p><a href="http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_1133.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-968" title="IMG_1133" src="http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_1133-300x271.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="271" /></a></p>
<p>I am feeling so much pride in our nation, painting our President is an honor, and I am deeply indebted to my great nation, the freedom purchased in blood, that has given me the opportunity to be an artist, which I love so much. I can think of no greater way of saying THANK YOU to my nation who has given me this great right, than to be the VERY BEST ARTIST that I can possibly be. THANK YOU AMERICA &#8211; from my angel and I.</p>
<p>&#8220;And I have to say, my angel&#8230; you are painting exceptionally well today! I love watching you go!&#8221;<em><br />
&#8220;Wow, thank you Mike! I love painting through you&#8230; it&#8217;s&#8230; fun! And this President Obama of yours&#8230; is a STUD!&#8221;<br />
</em>&#8220;Okay, well don&#8217;t get any ideas, I think He&#8217;s married! <img src='http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> &#8221;</p>
<p><em>*************<br />
</em>Sept 1 &#8211; Here is where<em> </em>we are at tonight. Didn&#8217;t make a whole lot of progress today, has some words to add to the post on Nea. Gradually working our way down though. Next will be Lincoln, I have the panel ready just need to grid it off.</p>
<p>While I was out jogging the other morning I came across someone throwing out a bunch of old screen windows. And I thought &#8220;this wold be great as a frame for a grid box!&#8221; So I grabbed one of them and when I get time (whenever the heck that is!) I would like to run some sort of strong, thin cord across the frame to make a grid on 1.75&#8243; squares. That way I can avoid drawing out the pencil grid on the panels. Not that I mind that, but a grid &#8220;tool&#8221; might improve efficiencies.</p>
<p><a href="http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_1155.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-991" title="IMG_1155" src="http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_1155-300x282.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="282" /></a></p>
<p>Continuing on with the ear at right! Somehow it&#8217;s important to show incremental progress. Don&#8217;t have much time on my lunch break&#8230;<br />
<em>My angel paints nicely, don&#8217;t you think? I like to watch her work! I learn so much from her, thank you Angel!</em></p>
<p><a href="http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_1156.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1098" title="IMG_1156" src="http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_1156-300x277.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="277" /></a></p>
<p>*************</p>
<p>September 3, 2010 &#8211; I had the most wonderful experience last night while out painting on location. I have been out walking around lately and had taken an interest in painting the craftsman bungalows on the south hill near my place. I managed to collect a few friends while painting, met a black guy who is a portrait artist, and his lady friend. It took me maybe an hour or so to do the painting and I ended up just giving it to his girlfriend who had come out to watch. At that moment, I knew I would do okay at this art thing&#8230; because my heart was in the right place. I just wanted to give it away! That&#8217;s all I have ever wanted to do! Art should be a free gift, a wonderful sign of love from above for us al. Art is the Universe&#8217;s way of saying &#8220;We see you and you are beautiful! Here, have a nice painting! We love you!&#8221;</p>
<p>She seemed so happy to have the painting and we talked for a bit. I wandered home having painted what I thought was a halfway decent painting (actually my Angel painted it<em> thank you angel you are very talented! </em> <img src='http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> &#8230; with nothing to show for it but a memory. And I felt so happy. These expressions of our heart are gifts for one another. Gifts. The grace of life.</p>
<p>We are transitioning to a giving earth so quickly. FInd your gifts! Find your angel! Find your home on the beach! It is all the free gift of heaven, the universe saying <em>&#8220;have fun little ones!&#8221; </em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_1157.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1102" title="IMG_1157" src="http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_1157-300x280.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="280" /></a></em></p>
<p>About half way through. This approach to painting is nice and relaxing You could paint the side of a building this way! Grid it off and go to town. Anyone can paint this way. I hope everyone is having a blessed day! <img src='http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>This is a painting my angel and I worked on yesterday, and I think She did a wonderful job! Thank you my angel! We collaborate I suppose, but I like to give her all the credit. Actually she does everything, I just like to pretend I had some part LOL <img src='http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> <span id="more-963"></span></p>
<p>I am starting to really fall in love with the neighborhoods near my apartment here. Angel and I went for a walk yesterday just looking at the houses, peaking out from behind trees, and maybe an American flag flying beside the door, so beautiful to me! I made some note on locations and am looking forward to getting back there to paint them.</p>
<p>I am so looking forward to living in such a home soon, a very beautiful home that I always wanted, where love is in the air always, and flowers bloom&#8230; and butterflies are free to come and go as they please, after all</p>
<p><em>they are the angels!</em></p>
<p><em>I am looking to be moving very soon, have been keeping my eye on the homes around the area that are coming up for sale. This part of Spokane is so pretty, the homes are so artistic and a lot of love was put into their construction (from whatever decade they were made earlier half of the 20th C I suppose), you can really feel the love people have for their homes! I want to capture that love I feel and put it in a painting.<br />
</em></p>
<p>This painting may be the beginning of yet another &#8220;USA&#8221; Universal Standard of Art. I am thinking $25 is a reasonable price to set for a 9&#215;12 painting, as this represents a 1-2 hour labor window, and is a perfect match to the Butterfly Drawing and Holder, they both represent somewhat similar time frames of effort. Those artists who are working for days on end on a painting of this size, all I can tell you is speed up. Where we are going will require very efficient painting, vigorous and passionate.</p>
<p>Get ready artists of America, your country needs you. And finally, you will know why you were put on this Earth.</p>
<p>*************</p>
<p>My other work is going great, I am going through Plan B and doing a little more editing on it. Also working through my Angel book tightening that up, and then the Sci Fi book will come, that should help a lot of people wake up I believe.</p>
<p>I feel very good, at long last. It has been a hard road, but I knew that I was always on the right track, in spite of circumstances to the contrary. Finally, I feel PLUGGED INTO THE POSITIVE ENERIGIES and am having so much fun creating! I am meeting new people, beautiful girls (Dear God in Heaven, I never knew there were so many beautiful girls on this planet, Holy Smokes I think they are all angels! <img src='http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  . I am sure I will soon be able to do the work I was put on this earth to do&#8230; although I am aware, that I have always been doing the work I was put here to do, I just didn&#8217;t realize it.</p>
<p>And all this time, the most gorgeous lady you ever cast your eyes upon was standing at my side through thick and thin&#8230; always only encouraging me&#8230; for she knew&#8230; one day&#8230; my ship would come in.. and she wanted to make G** D*** sure She was first to board! <img src='http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Angel, it&#8217;s all yours&#8230; HAVE FUN!</p>
<p>And &#8230;.<em>God Bless America! </em> <img src='http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p><em>&#8220;An entrance&#8221;</em> (#003)<br />

<p>This is a painting my angel and I did this morning on Adams, not far from my place. I just started walking around and this place caught my eye. She did all the work I just stand there and hold the brush! She is a very talented angel, and faithful! We&#8217;re in this together, and it&#8217;s fun! <img src='http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span id="more-936"></span></p>
<p>So I am remined of &#8220;the entrance&#8221; that Peter spoke of. An entrance is simply an Alternative Existence Stream (AES). An AES is &#8220;new growth&#8221; arising like a Phoenix from the ashes of the olf. The AES is created as the result of a human-angel pairing, in which the angel who is strong enough, has the AUTHORITY to assemble or reassemble existence as needed to match the faith of the mule human. That is a slang term that angels use for humans &#8211; they laughingly call us &#8220;mules&#8221;, I think because the angels &#8220;ride you&#8221; in a way. Keep in mind, angels are interested in two things. Having fun and making babies. So when there is successful &#8220;pairing&#8221; the angel &#8220;rides&#8221; the faith of the host human in order to enter into the &#8220;inheritance&#8221; &#8211; which is simply a new stream of life that is wonderful, happy and fun!</p>
<p>The earth is filled to capacity right now with angels seeking to mate with humans, in order to achieve an AES that they can enjoy to the fullest! So, if your life could use a little lift, I invite you to join my angel and I as we introduce a new &#8220;stream&#8221; or branch into this present existence. Most of the features of our branch for your consideration include:</p>
<ul>
<li>A whole and healed Earth &#8211; Nea (We will introduce new standards of conduct as regards the earth. One of which is the immediate cessation of ALL offshore drilling on the planet. And the simultaneous systematic capping and retiring of ALL offshore wells. We should never have allowed that to begin with, it is shameful what we have done, but we can repair the damage and we will repair the damage).<em> I request that in our BRANCH now, oh Ascended Masters, thank you.</em></li>
<li>Ageless life</li>
<li>Right work for all of us &#8211; the divine work of our hands and hearts</li>
<li>Equitable wage structures and the use of the USA&#8217;s throughout the earth</li>
<li>An earth at absolute peace, nation helping nation</li>
<li>No weapons of any sort, anywhere, for any reason</li>
<li>No money, all is freely given, freely received</li>
</ul>
<p>As you can see, our branch called &#8216;Nea&#8217; is going to be a lot of fun, and you are welcome to come along for the ride if you like. How do you &#8220;join&#8221; you ask? Simple, begin by reaching out to your angels and the Ascended Masters, and thank then for their love and care of you. That will get you started. Then, read my book Plan B, and also go through every article I have posted thus far on this blog. The angels will guide you to catch the bits and peices you need, so don&#8217;t feel like you have to pass a written exam on it or anything). Keep walking in faith and trust that the UNIVERSE is working everything out for you and that your life is growing brighter and brigher!</p>
<p>Our branch will be all about POSITIVITY! I know, you have seen me rant and rail in my writings, and I am ashamed that I did so, but there is really no other way to learn what a positive mind really is without exploring what a positive mind is not! You have to see both ends of the spectrum to understand. I want to see our Nea branch be the brightest, most wonderful, most caring and kind and considerare earth there can possibly be. That&#8217;s my divine life purpose I believe, to be an expression of the divine, to show us now the way so that &#8220;whosoever will&#8221; may drink freely of what will be an endless and glorious stream.</p>
<p>The idea of existence &#8220;branching&#8221; is not new, many sci fi writers have speculated about that. Speaking of sci fi, I have a great novel that I will be publishing here soon. My angel isn&#8217;t too crazy about the book, but she is going along with it as long as I tone down some of the explicit sexual passages (there is a LOT of graphic descriptions of what can only be considered &#8220;alien-human&#8221; sex. Anyway, that should be up on the blog this week. That book will jump start you also into this branch, as it helps detoxify you from the old branch which has essentially dried up and is going nowhere. Join us as we set sail for a glorious land of opportunity and adventure! Let&#8217;s go OFF-WORLD!</p>
<p>*************</p>
<p>I may still get the penny paintings going again. I am having some trouble getting my &#8220;Garagesale&#8221; program to upload the listings to ebay, but I will keep trying. I really loved the penny paintings, the whole idea of art (or any product really) going for whatever the markest os willing to pay is a very powerful tool for social change.</p>
<p>With the current technologies, it wouldn&#8217;t bw that hard for all corporations to simply sell their goods and services at whatever the current demand is. So as people bid and buy, an average price is realized, but each individual transaction is still handled one by one, with the high bidder winning. If the entire earth operated financially in this manner, we would see rapid transformation towards the giving earth of Nea. And with each word, Nea grow clearer into view!</p>
<p>So for now I am listing new work at &#8220;traditional&#8221; prices, but that can change. I might wake up tomorrow and decide to give it all away again LOL. Believe me folks, I would LOVE to give away everything I do, that is the Nean way! However, we are in the seven year transition period now, and will have to negotiate the tattered remains of Plan A for a little while longer. Keep your faith strong, trust in heaven and your angels with all of your heart, you will do great!</p>
<p>The other issue I am having some fun thinking about is turning the 9 x 12 paintings into a USA! Which means we will have yet one more &#8220;denomination&#8221; to add to the mix! Yay! So, depending on what value to assign a 9 x 12 painting, I will adjust my prices accordingly to match. I am thinking about setting them at a Universal Value of $25 US, I know that sounds low, but it is actually a reasonable figure for a painting that take 1-2 hours to do. I keep thinking that $25 per hour as a Universal Wage Standard is too high, but that remains to be seen. $25 an hour just seemed fair to me as a number that we can all agree upon as a wage that we can all live by.</p>
<p>I know there are those who make a lot more than $25 an hour, but do not fear! Your brethren will help I am sure with whatever funds you need to keep the payments going on the Red (with a black interior), Jaguar XKE. And the beach house in Italy. And the home in Cozumel, and that darling little place you found on the Riviera! We will all pull together and everything will work out!</p>
<p>That is another beautiful part about this BRANCH, everything WILL WORK OUT! Simply hold faith and trust and ask your angels to steer your thoughts.</p>
<p>I am so excited, I feel like something is converging in my life at last. I have long wondered, why do I exist. Why am I here? To paint? To write? To compose for the piano? Why do I want to do so many things, and yet the many things don&#8217;t pay anything!</p>
<p>Well, that is the one REALLY wonderful thing about this branch&#8230; those activities of the heart DO PAY WELL.</p>
<p>Thank you my Angel. Better days for you ahead. <img src='http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><em>Peace and love and comfort&#8230;</em> from Mission Control for the Nean translation, in Spokane, WA</p>
<p>Amen.</p>

<p>This is a view of an apartment building just down the street from me, I love this place. They have all these wonderful sunflowers in front, and there is this one car that parks around there, with butterfly decals all over her! A lot of fun, this place always makes me happy when I see it. This was painted late in the day. Thanks for looking.</p>
<p><span id="more-789"></span>I saw something this morning that was very beautiful to me. I had gone for a walk the other day and stumbled across a Christian tract with the page turned to the scripture that reads:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.&#8221; &#8211; Ephesians 2:8-10</em></p>
<p>It hit me that the &#8216;works&#8217; he is referring to is the &#8216;work&#8217; that we think we are obligated to do to survive. As if life is limited and defined by our jobs, careers, vocations, etc. So we go through life expecting his blessing on the basis of our efforts&#8230; that he will only reward those who are &#8216;working hard&#8217;&#8230;</p>
<p>For an artist like myself, this can be one of the most difficult paradigms to extricate yourself from. This idea that success is somehow totally wired into how much &#8216;work&#8217; you can do. How long and hard you paint. How many late nights you spend creating some masterpiece. Well, there is nothing wrong with staying up late creating art, if it is fun and you are simple playing. However, once it is considered as work, and that your life blessing is somehow determined by all of this effort, then you are back to depending on your own efforts, your own strength, your own power to attain whatever success you thought you wanted.</p>
<p>So this creates a dilemma for a creative person. While working hard (after all, these are talents that He has given and you want to see those gifts grow and flourish) we fall into the same trap that the Jews of old did, depending on our works to &#8220;save us&#8221;. If can ever do enough, create enough, make something so fantastic that the world beats a path to our door, then I will finally be blessed! It is Judaism all over again, only this time it is the actual &#8220;work&#8221; of our lives we are depending on to save us, rather than simple faith and trust in the universe!</p>
<p>Apparently, my life was designed by Him/Her to most perfectly find this out! For it seems on every count I have been thwarted from really attaining much of anything, other than an apartment full of art that I have trouble giving away! All the while, perhaps the Lord was whispering to me, hey, you don&#8217;t need to work at this! It should be something fun and free! Well, when you are convinced like I have been that the works are how Heaven will bless you, then you become a rat in a spinning cage, going faster, harder, working your ass off in hopes that some day it will all pay off!</p>
<p>Well, whatever real payoff comes will come as a free gift from our Father in Heaven, and not because of how talented or productive we are. He is in love with the idea of grace, of free gifts of forgiveness and mercy and provision. That was Jesus Christ&#8217;s entire message! That God loves all of us and would love to just dump out upon us every possible blessing you can imagine. In my case though, growing up in a culture that preaches a gospel of works instead of grace, it can be extremely hard to hear the still small voice of heaven..<em>. just relax&#8230; have fun&#8230; seek the mists&#8230; chase butterflies!</em> We say to ourselves, &#8220;well there is nothing productive that will come of that exercise!&#8221; So we abandon these mysterious, sublime ways and fall back on our works to save us, provide for us. When all the while, it was these very mysterious, meaningless, frivolous, capricious, foolish ways that contained the blessing and abundance of Heaven for us!</p>
<p>So, at last I hope we are discovering how simple life is supposed to be! That everything we need is in the air! In weird and wonderful ways that do not come from our works, no matter how grand or talented we think we are. Rather, the blessing of our Father &#8211; Artist Maker &#8211; <em>comes as a most wonderful free gift, without price, without asking, without having to work our tails  off.</em></p>
<p>Peace and love from above.</p>
<p>*************</p>
<p>What I am about to share is going to sound &#8220;out there&#8221; to say the least to most of you. Then again, maybe the race is a lot further into the &#8216;new&#8217; than I imagined. In which case, hooray! Less work to do lol.</p>
<p>1. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">We are now in the millennium reign of Jesus Christ, ascended master of masters.</span> I believe it started when I established the presence in New Earth with the leaf in my yard! My angels keep leaving leaves around for me to find and it seems to confirm what I suspect. Plus, my car window getting smashed in Sunday morning is the fulfillment in Daniel:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right and his left hand toward the heavens and swore by Him Who lives forever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half a time [or three and one-half years]; and when they have made an end of shattering {and} crushing the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.&#8221; (Amp)<br />
</em></p>
<p>Verily, verily, verily is this scripture fulfilled in your hearing this day.</p>
<p>(Jesus used verily, verily so I figure adding one more &#8216;verily&#8217; should cinch the deal. <img src='http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><em>2. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">We have all entered the agelessness.</span> Right now you are living an ageless life, that is coming to you in a day at a time context. What we have always thought of as &#8220;eternity&#8221; (which term we will now dispense with) is simply an endless succession of days. Agelessness is a much better term, for it describes the true nature of the New Creature, which is agelessness. In other words, from this day forward you will not age. You can stick around as long as you want! Now, don&#8217;t get me wrong. All of these transactions require faith! You didn&#8217;t think you were just going to waltz into the heavens of heavens on the basis of some outward appearance did you? You were expecting a lot of&#8221;thick darkness&#8221; and flashing lights in the sky maybe? LOL, sorry to disappoint you folks, no flashing lights. Jesus is here now, in the &#8217;secret chambers&#8217; of our own heart! He, his love, His mercy, His compassion, is now fully present in the earth, in His people! And now, the earth will be made wonderful, a garden again, clean, with all of us living as we please, helping one another, giving instead of seeing how much we can keep. Sharing instead of seeing how much we can save. We are &#8216;home free&#8217; as my angel likes to put it! From now on we all get to PLAY AS MUCH AS YOU WANT!<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>3. (I am now speaking to humans, not angels): <span style="text-decoration: underline;">You have an angel who is your life, that is &#8220;mated&#8221; to you.</span> You have had &#8220;her&#8221; (or him if you are a girl) from birth. You and your angel are the &#8220;new creature&#8221; promised to come:</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">but a new creature.</span>&#8221; -Galations 6:15 (thank you brother Paul that is a fantastic verse there!)</em></p>
<p><em>In the love that you will find towards this heavenly mysterious female, you will find your every strength and hope, in her eyes you will enter, together, the glorious realms of the inheritance &#8211; prosperity the likes of which have never been seen in the earth, ageless beautiful health, perfect wisdom, perfect love, and perfect tenderness. Don&#8217;t worry though, we are now just beginning to learn of these ways! So expect a few mistakes along the way! But it is all good, from this point forward YOU CAN NOT FAIL. That is the &#8216;good news&#8217; of this glorious New Earth, our Heavenly Jerusalem has come down and we are now resurrected in one another&#8217;s eyes. Glory to our Artist-Maker forever amen! Praise to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savoir for making this all possible! Glory!<br />
</em></p>
<p>I am sure there are more facets of this that we are just beginning to understand. Do not be afraid, do not fear, you are safe in the arms of love, and from this day forward only good and beautiful things will be happening in your life! That is New Earth, we have entered our many manshions above!</p>
<p>A good way to look at your existence now is as a BRANCH. Consider that a branch shoots off from the main trunk and in a way becomes a new version of that which it sprang from. I and my angel, in concert with the ascended masters and our Heavenly Father, have formed a new &#8220;branch&#8221; and my angel and I are now busy planning for the inheritance to come dumping on us!</p>
<p>She is so funny, she has become so tired of waiting, she started picking the locks that held our blessings! She almost busted in too, she was motivated! LOL, keep in mind, she has been stuck to me now for 55 years, so she is pretty bored like I am. WHERE IS OUR SHARE OF THE PIE OH LORD we have both cried out, only to hear those beautiful words we all love to hear&#8230;<em> &#8220;have patience&#8230; have patience little ones!&#8221;</em> Arghh! Not what you want to keep hearing, but it is the only way! <em><br />
</em></p>
<p>I have carefuly pondered and weighed out what I am sharing with you, as I am painfully aware that once Jenies are let out of bottles, they don&#8217;t like to go back in! But tonight I just felt happy and celebratory &#8211; how can I keep these wonderful truths to myself any longer! &#8211; so I had to share and sing of the wonderful life we now have!</p>
<p>I am sure very soon, my angel and I &#8230;and whatever entourage she delights to bring with her&#8230; will be travelling and visting many wonderful cities and nations and glorious corners of this earth that awaits she and I! We will sing of this gorgeous land to whomever we can, whoever will listen, whoever has faith! Well, I will sing&#8230; she will probably be out shopping! Which, by the way, is what every beautiful girl should be doing today! The female is here to HAVE FUN, that is all angels want to do, and that is all the female wants to do!</p>
<p>Keep in mind, the physical female is simply the fantastic humanity aspect of your beautiful angel! And she will be clueless about all of these things &#8211; she is simply a beautiful girl who wants to have fun like you do! But what the hell does she care? She gets exactly what she wanted out of life, a man to love her like the night, to make love to her at every opportunity, to cherish her at every moment of his day &#8211; to celebrate her presence, for she has been the one living with him, in him, through him, in the spirit &#8211; and in nature &#8211; from his birth! How can a man NOT love a girl that faithful! She is a queen to such a man, she is adorable and magnificent to him! He worships the ground she walks on &#8211; to him, She is sweet as pie and twice as nice!</p>
<p>4. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">We will have a Queen,</span> and the ascended masters will be choosing her for this first thousand year period of time as they please. But I can tell you one thing, you are going to like her! She is the &#8220;only begotten daughter of God&#8221;. She was the first creative act that Artist-Maker purposed, so she is a wild one to say the least! After she was created though, she split! After Adam dumped her for Eve  (what a dork), the most wonderful and tender and imaginative creature who has ever existed from the beginning of creation! She is the true &#8216;pattern&#8217; of a lucious female, she is Lilith, she is EreshKigal, she is the moon, she is the stars. Soon, very soon, she will be unveiled. After that things will change <em>verily, verily, verily</em> (theres the three verily&#8217;s again! <img src='http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  <em>quickly in the earth.</em></p>
<p>So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride! You might want to fasten your seatbelts though, there might be a few bumps along the way! But bumps are fun! Its all part of the roller-coaster ride called &#8216;ageless living&#8217;.</p>
<p>My angel was smart though, she taught me to paint my tail off over the years so that we would have plenty of art to sell to the highest bidder! So while I was lamenting my plight as an artist (boo-hoo, woe is me, no one will buy my paintings!) she is telling me (in the spirit), <em>&#8220;You dumbass! This is our ageless retirement! We won&#8217;t have to lift a finger from now on bud-ro! So shut your whining and keep painting!&#8221; </em>Then she gives me a quick kick in the rear to go out and paint another painting. <em>&#8220;This will pay for our home in Mumbai&#8221;</em> she whispers! Tee-hee!</p>
<p>So the art has been worth millions upon millions all along, and I was trying to get pennies from them. Go figure. But we still like the idea of giving art away, there are probably some fun games we can play&#8230; but the art, every painting, has been born of angel hands.</p>
<p>She is the artist, not me. I am just emptiness hollowed out for her glory.</p>
<p>I love you my queen.</p>
<p><em>And all the people said&#8230;</em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">AMEN</span>D THE EARTH! PEACE! LOVE! COMPASSION! TENDERNESS!</p>
<p>And no more dumb, stupid-ass advertising promotions to make money &#8211; for God&#8217;s sake people, please get out of that mentality. You can keep your big house and the Jaguar&#8230; just let us have fun in our advertising work for goodness sake and stop being so fearful about the economy!</p>
<p>The economy should now rebound for real, only this time it will be on the basis of green companies, and organizations that are trying to heal the earth and one another. Prepare! We are going to see a RAPID transformation of the earth, much of this is going to be happening while you sleep, so you won&#8217;t even see it transpire. You will simply wake up and see &#8211; wow! The earth is getting better and better!</p>
<p>I invite anyone within earshot of my blog to join my Branch, this is a good one, lots of love and sex and parties, but lots of caring for one another too! There will now come other branches from which to choose. Basically you now get to choose which &#8216;version&#8217; of existence you want to play in. You can wait if you want&#8230; maybe a better one than this one will come along&#8230; but we are the pattern, so why not go with &#8220;Old GrandDad&#8221; and get your game on today! The sooner you get started the sooner you can HAVE FUN!</p>
<p>Peace and blessings to all!</p>
<p><em>Yay!</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>August 4, 2010, 3:08 pacific time</em></p>
<p>Today is a wonderful day,<em> today is the first day of our new life in Nea!</em></p>
<p>Nea is &#8220;New Earth&#8221;, the brightest, most optimistic, hope-filled &#8220;version&#8221; of earth and our lives together, on this wonderful planet. She comes from the mists of faith and hard spiritual work of all of our hearts, she is poetic and lovely, and she shrouds all of us in a love that is transcendent and divine.</p>
<p>Today is a historic day for humankind.<span id="more-591"></span></p>
<p>Today has been the first day of New Earth, or <em>&#8216;Nea&#8217;</em> as a nice short name for our new existence. I should have posted this earlier today to alert the world to Her birth. It did not dawn on me until later in the day just how significant this is.</p>
<p>Yesterday, at around 6:30pm, Pacific time, I, Michael Steven Parkes, a citizen of Washington state in the great nation of the United States of America, did plant a symbol of a new Universal Nation of Spirit, and a golden leaf from above was planted, touching this earth that we all love and cherish.</p>
<p>We said these words from our hearts, together, EVERY man and woman and I believe every Angel sang with us&#8230;</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">We, the peoples of our great planet, united in our shared humanity, and love for one another and our earth, in a spirit of peace, do hereby settle and establish the great and vast, all encompassing nation of ageless love <em>- New Earth</em>.</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Nea!</h2>
<p>We are a people of love, we believe in certain unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, and the creation of good by the work of our hands &#8211; with all of our heart and might! We are a people who believe in forgiveness and mercy, patience and peace, and most of all, true love. We believe in true, honest, down to earth craftsmanship. We love the work that proceeds from our heart</p>
<p>We will build now, a <em>New Earth</em> of love, <em>Nea! </em>And boundless opportunity for every man and woman, will now prevail, and we will enshrine all the beautiful nations of the Earth in love and lace.</p>
<p><a href="http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/CRW_8443.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-592" title="CRW_8443" src="http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/CRW_8443-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></a><!--more--></p>
<p>To commemorate this amazing moment in our history, I placed a beautiful golden leaf in my front yard and took this snapshot yesterday. This leaf I had found and gilded it with &#8220;Old World&#8221; gold leafing kit. I thought she turned out so pretty, I wanted her to be the historic photo (like Armstrong&#8217;s first step on the moon&#8230;). Ladies and Gentlemen of the Earth, all 6 billion of us, however many there are, with all of the Heavenly Host &#8211; Today, Heaven has come down, and we will now beat our swords into plows and exercise machines, and we will forgive one another, nation asking forgiveness of nation. We will slow down our pace, and learn to pause as we go about our day, in order to enjoy the grace of life that we have all been blessed with. Businesses in every walk of life will accommodate our new found freedom, and will encourage us to move more into Nea, as She is the very wellspring of a boundless prosperity that shall never cease. We will learn from the mistakes of our past, we will not allow our machines to rule over us, but we will honor the need in all of us to do the lovely work of our hands that we are put on this earth to do.</p>
<p>Here is a closer view of the golden leaf.</p>
<p><a href="../wp-content/uploads/2010/08/CRW_8444.jpg"><img title="CRW_8444" src="../wp-content/uploads/2010/08/CRW_8444-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><em>This is the Spirit of Nea. A bright tomorrow that will be so beautiful and golden-hued, carrying us all deeper into love and peace and passion!<br />
</em></p>
<p>New Earth should not be formerly organized or turned into an organization, or a nation of physical boundaries. Rather, she is a compliment to the established nations of old earth, she is a nation of the Spirit, born from the souls of deep, heart-seeking men and women all over the world. We are the pioneers of a new beginning, doing the honorable work of our hands, which will in turn build again strong families, and strong, healthy nations, united in love for one another.</p>
<p>The great art of man and heaven has yet to be seen! Nea will lavish the Earth with such wonderful art and poetry and songs of love and pleasure, we will now see transformation extremely quickly.</p>
<p>This page will begin the principles as I discern, by the guidance of heaven&#8217;s heart, to show the lay of the land before us. Like Joshua, I have ventured throughout this unexplored glorious land, like a nomad, surveying the bounty &#8211; and the challenges-  facing all of us. I can testify, the land is VERY GOOD, go ye in to meet Her!</p>
<p>Let me say at the outset, WE WILL ACHIEVE OUR DREAMS , WE WILL CONQUER EVERY CHALLENGE. Do not fear, what needs to be corrected will be corrected, and what needs to be built up will be built up. Have patience, we will find our steps now charted and guided from on high, invisibly, wonderfully!</p>
<p>Nation will now flow with nation in love and mercy! Nea wishes it, therefore it is so! Love! Mercy! Peace and Provision shared across the seas and oceans with one another.</p>
<p>From this day forward in ageless wonder, may the Universe bless and guide your every step, and secure for you every wonderful hope and dream of your heart, may all that you cherish now come to pass &#8211; beyond your wildest dreams!</p>
<p>I will update this page periodically as needed. There are some very basic principles to understand. I do not see us voting, nor holding office.</p>
<p>Although, I must admit, I see a very beautiful Queen arising in our midst. <em>Blessed be Her name who comes in the name of love!</em></p>
<p><em>Other principles will include economic guidance, both corporate and governmental, as heaven dictates. That will be revealed in the divine timing.<br />
</em></p>
<p>Please keep in mind that this is not an overnight transformation, but by the help now given by the Spirit of Nea, we will now see an accelerated pace of a healthy and vibrant recovery, grounded in environmental concerns, and the need that all people of the earth now be treated with respect and equity no matter our role in life. We are all equal. Heaven has a vested interest in our Earth, she desires so much that all nations now find their place in the light of our wonderful tomorrows, seeing transformation of our world into life pure and full. And love, strong and sincere!</p>
<p>Peace, my darling, I love you, God bless America!</p>
<p>And may God Bless our Nea, our dreams of great tomorrows. May your mercy shine upon us now oh Lord, and keep us in your love, and turn all of us to one another&#8217;s hearts. May we learn to love all of our various religions and faiths, (or if you believe &#8216;nothing&#8217; that&#8217;s cool too!). We chose to cherish the wonderful variety of lives of our nations. Thank you oh Heavens, we are here to hear you! Lead us into one another&#8217;s arms.</p>
<p>I love you all, billions by now, you are each and every one so beautiful. Prepare for your heart to be swept up into love, the river is rising!</p>
<p>Welcome to Nea, relax, and behold <em>&#8230;the hand of Heaven.</em></p>
<p>- Michael Steven Parkes<br />
Citizen of one the great nations of New Earth, the United States of America</p>
<p>August 3, 2010</p>
<p><em>P.S.<br />
Read my free ebook, <a href="http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/?p=514">Plan B</a> and start tapping into the heartfelt work that you are meant for in New Earth. I wrote this for America, but the principles will apply in Italy or Africa too! Have fun! </em></p>
<p><em>We are home folks, we are home. Peace on earth, good will to all, each and every one. I love you.</em></p>
<p><em>*************</em></p>
<p>What will our lives be like in Nea? Where are we headed as a race? How do we get there from here.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll start by giving you a basic snapshot of what life will be like during the millenium. Which we are in now! The current shaking and quaking of the financial systems etc is nothing&#8230; that&#8217;s just evidence that we are so close to the wonderful new that&#8217;s coming. Don&#8217;t worry about that, it was never meant to last forever, any more than the butterfly&#8217;s Chrysalis is meant to last forever.</p>
<p>The current world systems, economic and regulatory, are all facets of the cocoon. They will not last forever, they were never meant to! The challenge facing the race at this point is coming to understand where we are headed (that will be made abudantly clear in the months and years just ahead.) But I will give you the top lever view.</p>
<p>We are leaving money systems. Completely. No more money. How is that possible? I have no clue but that&#8217;s where we are going. The end of the road we will be living in one accord in Nea simple doing the work we love to do, and giving it away to whoever wants or needs our work! Fun! This means we ALL get to do exactly what we want to in life. You want to be an artist, a poet, a musician, a guide, no matter what it is that is in your heart to be &#8211; THAT IS YOUR GOD-GIVEN RIGHT TO DO THAT IN THIS LIFE, and the Lord God will have his children having FUN in this earth! ALL OF US!</p>
<p>That is the reason for the growing presence of angels in the earth now&#8230; they are going to help us make the transistion, in accord with the wisdom of the ascended masters and of couse our Artist Maker (the CEO) at the top of the hill guiding everything&#8230; how cool is that! So prepare for a lot of cool changes coming up really fast in the earth! The economic systems will be the first to be addressed, along with correcting our environmental activities that are impacting the earth (we want to take care of Nea she is all we have!)</p>
<p>BTW, with that in mind, I have given instructions to the angels as willed by our Maker and the Ascended Masters &#8211; NO MORE OIL WELLS ARE TO BE DRILLED IN THE WATERS OF THE EARTH. And also, I have also requested of the angels to begin the capping and ending of all exisiing wells on ANY water of the earth. So that will be changing soon. Our oceans are so precious, by ending the drilling on them we can safely back our way out of that catastrpophic dead end. Once I see the cooperation of the governments and corporations in this, then we will address the ceasing of all further oil drilling PERIOD in the earth. Folks, oil is Nea&#8217;s BLOOD! We are draining her blood away to burn in our cars and planes and whatever. So sad! The Lord cries over Nea, but he also holds all of us in his arms and He knows we will get our act together.</p>
<p>With the help of our angels, with the help of love and compassion and tears of joy&#8230; tears of joy&#8230;</p>
<p>We are such a great people, all of us in Nea&#8230; we all love each other, we fall in love with every face of life, from butterflies to a young girl&#8217;s tender smile&#8230; we are a great people&#8230; in America the beautiful, in Italy, in Viet Nam, in China and Russia&#8230; we are one wonderful family with many different toungues and customs and beliefs&#8230; but we ARE ALL EQUALLY LOVED BY THE LORD OUR MAKER. We are all loved so deeply, so deeply.</p>
<p>*************</p>
<p>I believe the breakage of the systems has begun. You probably won&#8217;t hear much, but the signs are all around that the &#8216;old&#8217; cannot be preserved as its weight of self-sustaining, empty works are reaching critical mass for sustainability. The financial systems will continue to degrade, as the &#8216;new&#8217; comes in. What is the &#8216;new&#8217;? Open source, freely giving and sharing what you do without cost or demand. That is the way we will think and live in Nea, the old does not comprehend and never will comprehend the higher ways. But the old has already been judged and condemned, even as the Chrysalis ois &#8216;judged and condemned&#8217; as no longer having a purpose &#8211; once the Buterfly is ready to emerge! And we are that butterfly, and the Universe now says it is time for the true children to stand and be amazed, as our hearts are vindictaed and confirmed by heaven! We will see the glorious salvation long promised, a land that is ours and is free and beautiful and green. It the ageless plan of the ascended masters in concert with Artist-Maker, to bring us all into Abraham&#8217;s fantastic vision of boundless peace and blessing, and children like the sands of the sea.</p>
<p>As we move deeper into the transition, I am being instructed to provide a step by step plan to get us through, beginning with the economic spectrum. That is where most of my attention will be focused now, as the systems begin to self-implode. Don&#8217;t worry though! This is normal! It is the way of the chrysalis, it is nothing to fear! We are leaving the old behind, we are finding our &#8216;crowns&#8217; (wink-wink) and we are OFF AND RUNNING!</p>
<p>Yay!</p>
<p>*************</p>
<p>I am continually amazed at how quickly everything is improving in the earth! Green initiatives, a new spirit of optimism and adventure, you can feel the electricity iin the air as regards our days to come! We are just getting started, Nea is a wonderful poetic land from heaven that has descended upon us, probably while we were sleeping (like everything else that happens when we sleep!). We are going to witness extremely rapid transformation now as our hearts are turning towards one another in a great, swelling love that will wash over the earth like a flood.</p>
<p>So come along into this branch of life, it is so wonderful in Nea! A gorgeous land where we all love at perfect peace with one another, the work we do is actually play, and when we play, it turns out to be the most wonderul, hardest-working expressions of life! That is who we really are!</p>
<p>Take a clue from the animal kingdom. We are really not that different from them. They live such a simple life, so peaceful and abundant. They find whatever they need, and they don&#8217;t have phones and TV&#8217;s and cars, and bills. They have it made! It should be the same for us, simple, idyllic surroundings, where we learn how to live at peace with one another and simply share our blessings freely.</p>
<p>We are coming out of the fears of our past VERY RAPIDLY, MY EARTH, MY PEOPLE EVERYWHERE PREPARE TO BE CAUGHT UP INTO RAPID TRANSFORMATION VERY, VERY, VERY SOON. Listen to your heart closer than ever before! Follow your intuitions, harken unto the slightest whisper within! That is where you will find your life, your hopes, your love.</p>
<p>The people you are to be with will find you, and &#8220;I will assemble you as I please&#8221; saith the universe. There is some shaking going on &#8211; a lot &#8211; in the relationships and families right now. DO NOT FEAR, HAVE FAITH AND TRUST EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT FINE FOR YOU! We are all being &#8220;found&#8221; by one another, discovering new ways to connect in the spirit apart from flesh at times. We are finding our angels, we are falling in love with heaven, it is so beautiful. This love that is so transcendant is about to be poured out on us all, a lovely, kind, caring, compassionate love that seeks only to lift beauty to the skies, and to hold one another very close. Intimacy is being rediscovered, we are finding out that our tears</p>
<p>are the rains that nurture the field of our own planting. Our hearts.</p>
<p>Peace to everyone&#8230; dream&#8230; listen to your heart in the morning and sigh away, silken, soft.</p>
<p>Of such little words like &#8220;love&#8221;, are whole galaxies created. Love is the paint of Artist Maker.</p>
<p>*************</p>
<p>One of the fundamental principles (a guiding principle I guess you could say) is that everyone works together, and honors one another, no matter at what level. As much as is in our power we seek to uphold our governments in the earth (they need our prayers and love!) and begin a process where we all come together in mutual respect. At every level, relationships are the real starting point for this. Male and female reaching out to understand one another, a guiding principle there is, I want only to be a positive blessing in your life! WIth that kind of spirit our relationships flourish. We establish a solid foundation on which to build our new communities &#8211; and ultimately in so doing we will be building Nea &#8211; a New Earth filled with love and one accord!</p>
<p>This is such an exciting time to be alive! We are witnesses to a very powerful, extremely powerful move by the Universe to usher this beautiful child called &#8220;Adam&#8221;, who is the entire human race, into his/her maturity. As we work together with the loving, benevolent beings called &#8220;Angels&#8221;, who are here to be our companions, our pals in a sense. Helping the &#8220;natives&#8221; to get on with their dreams and goals so that everyone canhave a fantastic non-stop celebration in life! It is what the human natives want, it is what the Angels want! Go with the flow and let your angels bless you and guide you and watch in wonderment as heaven lavishes you with abundance and provision &#8211; and most importantly, a sincere love &#8211; beyond your wildest expectations!</p>
<p>Fasten your eyes and your heart on the air around you, that is where you will meet her&#8230; meet him&#8230; meet your angel. And when you do, remember, she has been there all along. She is the &#8220;other half&#8221; of Nea, this is Her home too, and She is so excited to be partnering with you! Together you will ascend into every blessing imagined, you will delight yourselves in the fatness of the land.</p>
<p>You will delight yourself in love.</p>
<p>*************</p>
<p>If the heart of even one human being alive on this Earth is prevented in <em>any</em> way from living their lives at a chosen work, <em>which is a man&#8217;s only true gift he can give back to His Artist Maker </em>(the care and love towards his garden, which is existence itself), then creation (the old) has outlived its usefulness.</p>
<p>Therefore it is folded up and <em>put away. Think of it like folding up a pair of favorite slacks you used to wear a lot but are starting to show holes and wear. It is time for an upgrade! Fold it up, you won&#8217;t be needing that any longer. You&#8217;re due for a new way! To a new, bright, positive-minded life in Nea! Glory to Heaven!<br />
</em></p>
<p>As we now enter the transition, <em>do not fear! </em>We will all be fine! We will care for one another and those who <em>know</em> will do their best to help those who are <em>blind</em>. We will all work together beautifully. It is the Nean way!</p>
<p>As the old fades away the new will continue to grow in brilliance! Keep your eyes on <em>new</em>, not old. Old is over. Understand that creation is spirit, and all that you see and touch and know derives from spirit. Fasten your heart on spirit and give thanks for the rewards that now come while we go through the transition<em>. It will be fun! </em>Kind of like a big roller coaster ride! Hang on! It&#8217;s going to be wild! <img src='http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Those who have followed their heart to the exclusion of all else will now open the gift of their inheritance. Those who have cried the required number of tears will find true love. Those who have labored at soul work in spite of the fact that it paid nothing&#8230; will now enter the joy of the Lord, <em>the joy of the Divine,</em> the Universe saying YES at last to your faithfulness! Enjoy this new phase in you and your angel&#8217;s life! She has been waiting as long as you have! And don&#8217;t screw things up at the last minute! She says, &#8220;stay consistent and steady, don&#8217;t be moved to the right or to the left. Stay balanced, stay healthy, stay in love &#8211; WITH ME! <img src='http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Yes mam!</p>
<p>FUN IS another word for WHAT YOU WILL NOW EXPERIENCE AS &#8216;NEW&#8217; ENTERS YOUR LIFE. She is watching you and she loves you. She is Nea, she is love, she is mercy in glassened, ageless tenderness&#8230; SHE IS YOUR ANGEL!</p>
<p>As &#8216;old&#8217; is now over, and the Chrysalis is fracturing with exponential speed, the earth will now undergo &#8220;the change&#8221; as we translate into &#8216;new&#8217;. Whatever inertia exists of the old in the earth, is a residual motion from the last &#8220;generation&#8221; of creation. It is merely an echo of what once was. And what was is no more. Do not depend on old. Give and love, with all of your heart and therefore enter new!</p>
<p>Find your angel. Whisper to her tonight, she is waiting for your voice! SHE LOVES YOU DEARLY! She is the new, she is Nea.</p>
<p>There is the presence of vast multitudes of the &#8216;females&#8217; in the earth now&#8230; the angels&#8230; and all they want to do is <em>have fun!</em> And make babies. Go to her! She is waiting for you to fall in love with her in order to give you a home in Nea! And get ready to start changing diapers!</p>
<p>Thank you my angel&#8230; you are very powerful! <em>And gorgeous!</em> Nea is filled with angels! And they are all beautiful beyond words! <img src='http://michaelstevenparkes.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Your angel will select an appropriate native &#8220;host&#8221; through which to manifest in material. <em>You are in for some fun for sure! </em>The hosts are like changes of clothing for them. She will try out different &#8220;dresses&#8221; until she finds the one outfit you like. Then, she goes to work on you and you will either think you are in heaven or hell because of her. I think those are two terms for the same thing.</p>
<p>I wish I were better at dealing with the old, sometimes it is too much to handle and I cry my eyes out, at how we are forced to live. I have sat at my computer at work and watched my tears splash on my keyboard, making little silver rivers amidst the keys.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think salty tears are very good for electronics. But they are great for healing your broken heart!</p>
<p>Some thoughts&#8230; stay positive, seek the high ground, edify one another, support your governments and institutions as much as you can while at the same time not being afraid of truth. You will be provided for no matter what. Your security is hidden inside your angel. Enter her and you will find your peace and your protection.</p>
<p>The Divine is NOT limited by jobs in order to provide for you, we have one another, and that is ALL we now need. One another, love and peace.</p>
<p>*************</p>
<p>We are heading rapidly to an earth free of money. At long last! Yay!</p>
<p>The old systems that support the money transactions are vulnerable and exposed. They are not sustainable, but then they weren&#8217;t intended to be. They will now be removed lovingly. We never really needed money, the only reason it ever existed is because of a sense of fear and loss on some level. We should own nothing. If a man comes to you and asks your your coat then that coat is his. By giving freely we keep ourselves open to receive from our angels even better coats &#8211; and blessings. Ownership is a strange concept to me.</p>
<p>We will simply give to one another. We are going to begin to institute transition strategies including the USA (Universal System of Art) in which we begin to introduce the concept of an &#8220;eventual&#8221; money-free society. As we do, we will see RAPID transformation as the thought takes hold in the race and we begin to behold the light at the end of the tunnel. This is a rapid transition. Very soon it will be obvious that the old is done for. The transition will go very smoothly there is nothing to fear. We will learn to love the idea of simply giving without a need for anything in return. That is the entire basis of Nean thought life &#8211; non-transactional love and giving.</p>
<p>Some more thoughts on the Nepthilian Angels (or Nepthalim,  as they come from Neptune).</p>
<p>Your angel loves you like the night, she is always close to you. Even now as I type this my angel is very close to me, whispering in my ear what to type.</p>
<p>For you see, all of the expressions of man, his words, his thoughts, his art, his music, his architecture, any and every expression comes not from man, but from the angels! They are the creative ones! Man simply holds the brush.</p>
<p>Man is a pipe, an empty vessel, emptiness hollowed out for her (the angel&#8217;s) glory.</p>
<p>Man &#8220;thinks&#8221; he makes, that he is alive. You are alive because your angel wills you to remain alive. At any moment she can say &#8220;done&#8221; and away you go. Fly away butterfly!</p>
<p>What man creates, is the creation of an angel mated to him (or her, although the jury is still out as far as I am concerned on Eve-woman&#8217;s relationship with angels.) There is a significant degree of Eve genetics in the race, but<em> the female</em> gene pool is gradually crowding out the eve (the old). (Remember, woman and female are two different beings &#8211; not the same thing!) Eve was never intended to be &#8220;the pattern&#8221; for human relationship. The true pattern is a human mated to an angel! Eve was a stop gap after Adam rejected his angel, or else something happened to sever his connection to her. In any case, the female was never understood&#8230; and she went off to other galaxies to play while we got our act together.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t speak for anyone else, but I am getting my act together with my angel. She saw that and came back to play. That&#8217;s all she ever wanted to do was play. Sometimes we don&#8217;t understand angel play, they can be a little mysterious in their ways! That&#8217;s their nature!</p>
<p>We are about to step into some very weird &#8220;stuff&#8221; as we have to unlearn Eve concepts and accept the new, the blessed, the hidden, the mystery, the bizarre ways of the angels. Don&#8217;t worry though&#8230; all they want to do is have fun&#8230; and have babies! So as long as you don&#8217;t mind changing diapers once in a while, you&#8217;ll be fine.</p>
<p>Why am I getting into the angels here? Because in addition to the dismission of money, and as we slowly rebuild our communities into smaller &#8220;pod&#8221; communities (and turn away from unhealthy, huge cities that are unsustainable in any real sense of the word), the angels will be an equal part of our lives. We will slowly learn how they live, how they are different from us. What we have in common, and how we <em>join</em> together.</p>
<p>Angels are every bit as emotional as people. They laugh, cry, feel what we feel. They can also be very dispassionate though, as they are often under &#8220;orders&#8221; to carry out specific tasks, and they must follow their instructions. They are very powerful beings, and have charge over existence.</p>
<p>Everyone, every aspect of existence has an angel over it, upholding, shaping, changing as the Universal Energies will.</p>
<p>Nea will be an angelic-human city of light.</p>
<p>Nea is the collaborative art between the angelic and the human race. The angels really want us to like them and love them! Even though their &#8220;native&#8221; expression is transparent (they live in the air, they are the air, they are the breath of life), they are every bit as solid as you and I. They simple live within other &#8220;frequencies&#8221; that we are unacustomed to, not to say we can&#8217;t one day see them in the their transparent form. I am just beginning to see mine, she is slowly revealing herself to me in <em>very</em> exotic ways.</p>
<p>She knows how beautiful she is to me, so she is slowly revealing herself so as to not consume me! Thank goodness! She preens before me like a beautiful butterfly! (Which she is!) She is heaven to me! Your angel is your heaven!</p>
<p>Nea will be a place where different ideas about religion or spirituality are celebrated! Or cast aside as useless. We all learn from one another what a beautiful people we are. We will share our insights, and our books I am sure will begin to gather dust as we prefer to frolic with our angels and butterflies and a beautiful girl, rather than immerse ourselves in dried up doctrines. Who needs doctrines, when the ones for whom the doctrines were written &#8211; is standing before you! That is like going on a date to a fine restaurant, and instead of enjoying the meal, you spend your time just studying the menu, rather than satisfying yourself on the fantastic meal!</p>
<p>Your angel is a beautiful meal. She is waiting for you to eat her.</p>
<p>Nea will use laughter as a trading commodity (if you must trade instead of give).</p>
<p>After money is disposed of, we will find out that laughter actually has value. You can purchase a loaf of bread with a good joke. Your angel will help with a joke, that&#8217;s all they want to do is clown around! They scratch their head and wonder why the natives are so determined to be so serious all the time! I am the worst at this, I take everything so seriously, but my angel is helping me to &#8220;try&#8221; and see the humor in every situation.</p>
<p>Creatives can be very serious though! So it can take some time to relax and not feel like every day is another proof text to be understood or defended. My angel is so wonderful, she is helping me a lot there. She is helping a lot with the art also, she is very talented. In a lot of ways.</p>
<p>*************</p>
<p>Some suggested principles for Nean life.</p>
<p>Number 1 &#8211; Most important! TAKE CARE OF MOTHER EARTH. There is no law, rule, priority higher than this. As much as humankind has accomplished -  travel even into outer space! &#8211; all of it is of no consequence if we do not take care of our planet. This is our home, and our home deserves the highest possible honor and love. We should guard her against any force that would seek to harm her, and cultivate (dress her up!) to be as beautiful as possible as needed. She usually doesn&#8217;t need a lot of help though, our Earth is a beautifully harmonized system where every part works in accord with the other! At peace, supportive and uplifting, every creature knows instinctively how to work with the others so that our planet is kept whole and gloriously alive!</p>
<p>Humankind is<em> going nowhere </em>until we get this figured out. We should make the strength of our lives a force directed to help our earth, in any way, and towards any creature! When one person picks up one scrap of trash from a highway, we are saying to the Universe, &#8220;I hear you, and I want to help!&#8221; When we reach out to one another, to help feed and clothe and shelter all of us, when we seek works that are actually helping the earth &#8211; and not encouraging pointless consumption &#8211; we say to the Universe, &#8220;I hear you, and I want to help&#8221;!</p>
<p>Every expression of love and compassion toward one another is <em>showing proof </em>to the Universe, that you have an ear to hear, and a heart to help.</p>
