Hello Friends,
This newsletter is designed to support conscious evolution, a conscious form of participation in moving ourselves and our species forward into new ways of thinking and living with each other and the earth. The crisis of our current world situation is seen by some as evidence of an unstoppable slide into the abyss of extinction, but people with an evolutionary worldview, like us, see it as an opportunity to grow into our next phase of life.
Amongst people like us from all over the Earth, an evolutionary worldview is emerging, an overall positive and hopeful perspective about humanity and the world to guide us into the future. My friends and I at CSL feel that we have something unique to contribute to this budding perspective, certain practices, wisdom and contacts that we'd like to share with you and which we believe will be useful to you on your own path of conscious evolution. To this end we have developed…
OMS Insights: Common Sense, Connections, and News You Can Use For Conscious Evolution.
We're very excited and look forward to bringing you an inspiring newsletter with up-to-date information on how to use the current astronomical energies to boost your evolutionary momentum, links to evolutionary thinkers you'll want to know, inspiring interviews, transformational art, news about the Open-air Meditation Sanctuary and a new article in each issue to help you move your life forward. We'd love to know what you think about our articles, and any other thoughts you're having about conscious evolution. You can do so by posting your comments on our weblog (you'll see a link after the main article in the newsletter).
Thanks for being here on Earth at this interesting transitional time and helping to move our civilization forward. We love being in the community of Evolutionaries with you and look forward to a dynamic exchange of energy and ideas about conscious evolution in the coming months and years.

Blessings,

The Starry Channel
One of the evolutionary techniques we use as a group at CSL involves meditating with the Starry Wisdom Council. This Council (SWC) is comprised of the great Intelligences that are embodied by the 13 constellations on the ecliptic (the sun's path around the earth), and by the other stars, constellations and planets associated with each of them. Each of the 13 Council members are responsible for conveying certain great Ray Emanations, encoded with Wisdom, from the center of the galaxy into our solar system. Meditating on the SWC is an opportunity to draw forth the emanating wisdom and help anchor it in the mental thought field of humanity, radiating light upon contemporary problems and helping to advance the evolutionary possibilities of the Earth and all her species.

Be Part of Something Amazing
Are you interested in helping with activities for the children at the Celebration of Humanity?
We're creating a consciousness evolution area just for kids, and we're looking for volunteers to help us facilitate three different but integrated discovery areas. One will focus on the silence, sound and speech of Love, another on the playful construction of dwellings for fairies and nature spirits, and the third, on co-creation of a shrine honoring Mother Earth. This children's event is planned for Friday 4:00 p.m. to 6:30p.m., Saturday 2:30p.m. to 5:00p.m., and Sunday 1:30p.m. to 3:30p.m. Let us know if your heart calls you to participate in this joyful endeavor. These times coincide with the Prayerformance and guided walking meditations so that adults can have a concentrated meditative experience.
Purchase one of fifty limited edition prints commemorating the OMS Celebration of Humanity for $65. These 18x24 prints will be hand signed by visionary artist Heidi Smith and printed on archival art paper suitable for framing.
