Some of you know my friend, Lena Jacobson. She is an engineerand technical writer who lives and works in the Silicon Valley.  Recently, she was invited by  Zecharia Sitchin to be part of a small group to accompany him to Italy the end of March/early April of this year,where he was invited to speak at the International Convention on the Mystery of Human Existence in Bellaria (near Rimini).  The convention was covered by local, national, and international news,and Zecharia Sitchin was interviewed by Italian national radio andtelevision.  The group was present at the interviews. 

Another prominent part of this trip was the group' s meetings with Monsignor Corrado Balducci, who works in the Papal offices of the Vatican and who was also a presenter at the convention.  The Monsignor met with the group twice for lunchand discussions, at which time he answered questions about the Vatican' s   views on extraterrestrials. This was also the subject of his convention presentation ! The gist of the presentation to the group on these privateoccasions is remarkable and the details are expressed here. The presentation at the conference was shorter and less detailed andthe Monsignor spent most of his time talking about demonology.He did acknowledge Sitchin as his friend as well as acknowledge his research.  He almost completed his presentation without mentioning extraterrestrials, when the audience started hissingand booing.  At that point he brought up the issue of extraterrestrials, with a quick speech acknowledging their presence and Sitchin' s findings.   The Monsignor stated the Vatican' s OFFICIAL position on extraterrestrials, which included the following.   Some of thepositions were stated in more detail during the group meetings with Sitchin as a result of the group asking for clarification. 

* First, extraterrestrials have been taken off the Vatican' s list of demons.

* Second, he IMPLICITLY (according to Lena) admitted that the Vatican is in agreement with Sitchin' s findings (Note: if you have not read Sitchin, these findings are in regard to the twelfth planet called Nibiru, which NASA detected about fifteen years ago and calls Planet X, and to the regular extraterrestrial visitations on Earth by the Nibiruan inhabitants). 

* Third, the Monsignor stated that these beings, who look like us (Note: who according to Sitchin' s findings are our creators) have not only been on this planet since historical times, but have been here in recent times; that is, in our lifetime. (Note: You may recall some of the rumors that have circulated over the years about the Pope' s extraterrestrial visitors).* And last, but certainly not least, the Nibiruans will also be returning here VERY SOON, and thus, the Vatican needs to find a way to prepare the Christian community around the world if the Catholic Church wants to preserve its role in the life of the people. (Note: seems to me the preparation has little to do with preserving the church' s role and more to do with how the Vatican can undo years of lies, as well as lessen the shock that will accompany a world-wide announcement)

Deliberate Intending

As the group is exploring intentions, I would suggest having a look at http://www.fieldcenter.org

You will find under resources mp3 files, pdf's and a very interesting blog section.   Below is an excerpt from the website.

basic theory
the four pillars of field training

particle and field

The idea that we create our reality is at least as old as the Vedas, which state that “Atman” [the individual soul] is Brahman [the Cosmos].” This suggests that the whole of experience somehow resides in consciousness, and that our consciousness actually shapes, informs, and organizes what seem to be random events. Field theory recognizes that our consciousness has the same multiple nature we see in electrons, indeed, all quanta, so our consciousness has “Particle” and “Field” aspects.

Most of the popular New Age material on reality-creating fails because it presumes, mistakenly, that the self that does the creating is the Particle self—our most local identity, the one that says “I” all day, that experiences itself as in the physical body, and so, separate from other “I’s." The Particle self is extremely limited in knowledge, resources, and efficiency, and by nature identifies with things and conditions, e.g., “I am a person,” “I am sorry,” “I am here,” and so on. As Particles, we tend to experience world as cause and the self as effect, and so live in continual reaction to outer conditions; as these conditions appear to be separate from us, we naturally exert our will to improve or avoid them. Our Field identity, on the other hand, is nonlocal; not bound by time or space; unlimited in knowledge, vision, and efficiency; and aware of itself as the cause of worldly experience. Its most fundamental expression is not "I am this or that," but simply, "I AM."

intention and correspondence

Intention includes what we take to be real, which ultimately comes down to what we identify with. So, for example, the belief, “There isn’t enough money” is rooted in the belief, “I am poor.” This turns out to be a crucial point in Field theory, since our creating follows necessarily from identity, from who we believe we are. This is all we can change, and all we need to change.

The Self that creates reality is not the Particle self, a point that hardly can be overstated.  Many people, caught up in popular oversimplifications of “we create our reality” thinking have tried affirmation, visualization, and other consciousness techniques to change their experience in the world, only to find themselves running into walls, because they were unwittingly believing in (intending) the very condition they wanted to change. As long as the I strives to change conditions rather than simply changing its self-definition, conditions have no choice but to persist. The I that would create reality deliberately cannot stand apart from its creation. Paradoxically, this means that we can’t change reality through an act of will, because the very attempt confers the status of reality on the thing it seeks to change. In trying to make real something that it regards as not real, it casts its vote wrongly and secures the very outcome it would overcome. When we try to create conditions, the results are likely to backfire and lead to disappointment. On the other hand, when we recast our identity, conditions change spontaneously and effortlessly as required by the law of correspondence. So, our work is only on ourselves. This is why in Field practice, the aim is alignment, and not manifestation.

Creation is the operating of the law of correspondence between Particle and Field. The Particle, by nature, must intend; the Field must correspond. Following the principles of chaos theory, intentions exert a nonlocal organizing effect, fulfilling themselves whether or not we’re aware of what we’re intending. As we start intending deliberately, this nonlocal effect shows up as happy coincidences, miraculous timing, and other synchronicities, As Field training deals directly with the most fundamental structures of Particle consciousness (identity and reality), conditions tend to improve quickly and dramatically, having no choice but to correspond to who we believe we are. When this changes for the better, everything changes accordingly.
