The Soul Matrix, by Laurie Timmerman Spiritual development in the 3D Earth plane consists of the interplay of evolutionary forces of Light that reconnects us to our divinity, inner light and multidimensional nature and ‘Dark’ anti-evolutionary forces of separation and lower third density frequencies. Between 1987 and 2030, a great shift of consciousness has been occurring towards a fifth density paradigm of reality, also referred to as a time of ascension, for the planet and many millions of incarnated souls who have chosen this path. There are many Starseeds and Light- workers who are going through the awakening process and waking up to their mission on the planet. It has been very difficult to maintain a high consciousness within the underly- ing energetic structures of this dense dimension. Over the past decades, a new high frequency grid has been created on the Earth. Many star races, such as the Arcturians, Pleaidians and Sirians, are active in contributing to this new grid. The Soul Matrix platform offers a wide spectrum of free resources and with Amma, due to Amma’s ashram being located in a remote, forested hill area of Andhra Pradesh, India, you may experience technical and/or connectivity issues before and during the sessions. Sessions are currently scheduled on Zoom Webinar but may be subject to change. Thank you for your understanding. Each session is free and will last about 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

Sue Miller: On The Cover
Sue Miller is a professional artist living in Northwestern New Jersey. While her lifelong pursuit has been the fine art of watercolor and mixed media painting, she spent the first 20 years of her professional career in the com- mercial art field as artist/art director for advertising agencies, newspapers and department stores. About 23 years ago, she felt a change in calling and left the commercial art field to open a teaching studio in her home. Since opening The Magic Palette Art Studio, Sue has taught drawing and painting to several hundred students of all ages many of whom have gone on to pursue careers in art and art related fields. Working at home has also opened the door for her to continue her own painting on a more regular basis and pursue licensing her work to several companies that produce and market art related products. Additionally, Sue’s paintings grace the covers of Pathways Magazine and several other periodicals. Sue began her study of painting as a child with her artist/musician father, Tony Pacheco and continued this pur- suit as a Fine Arts Major at The Univer- sity of Massachusetts, Dartmouth.. Sue and her musician/writer hus- band, Vern, recently released their own “Funtasy Art and Poetry” book and are currently working on new joint ventures in art and poetry. Sue also spearheaded the design and production of a beautiful, full- color coffee table art book titled “Pure Inspiration’s Fantasy Art Collection” published by Light Stream Publishing, LLC. which is a compilation of inspi- rational art work by 16 well-known fantasy artists. Much of Sue’s work is presently licensed to several companies that manufacture and distribute products using art such as t-shirts, tags, cross- stitch kits and other products. Sue’s original artwork, books, prints, photographs and postcards are also available from her online gift shop on her website: www.suemillerart.com, and in her home studio.

for one hour generates greenhouse gas emissions comparable to driving a vehicle between 250 and 500 miles. Most mowers in use are much larger and operate from dawn to dusk as landscape workers move from one community to another. Emissions from leaf blowers are thirty-four times that amount, and the carbon footprint from trimmers is twenty times greater. Residents who use electric mowers need to be aware that they are prob- ably relying on coal for energy if their homes are not powered by wind or so- lar; and they are still destroying food that pollinators and other beneficials need. Healthy soil generates robust native vegetation and an ample supply of biodiverse insects, which 90 percent of our birds rely on for their survival and population numbers. Nurtured by composted food scraps and other non- toxic garbage buried in deep holes, the enhanced soil attracts and feeds earthworms that generate additional beneficial microorganisms. The soil then becomes even more of a sponge for absorbing and storing carbon from the atmosphere and rainwater during storms, thus protecting our water- sheds and water sources by prevent- ing runoff and flooding. Vegetation to stabilize and enhance nourished soil will emerge naturally, events at https://www.karunamayi.org/ world-tour/north-america/ Pre-registration is required in order to attend the 11 am Eastern time zone virtual meetings. After registering, each person will receive a link for the meeting which is unique for each in- dividual person and cannot be shared with others.

Book Reviews Native Plants for Wildlife Habitat and

Topics include “providing habitat for local and migratory animals,” con- serving native plants, improving wa- ter quality, reducing time and money spent on mowing and watering, and nurturing vegetation with a “greater visual interest” more compatible with nature. “Beneficial landscaping” can resolve “problems of erosion, poor soils, steep slopes, or poor drainage.” Larger plants that provide food and shelter for a variety of wildlife “have deeper roots that stabilize the soil and capture rainwater.” There are “approximately 30 million acres” of turf grass lawns throughout this country. Turf grass captures no stormwater nor provides food or habitat for wildlife. “The aver- age home mower uses a quart of gas per hour. Grass clippings consume 25 to 40 percent of landfill space.” These conventional practices also add to air and water pollution, while us- ing up nonrenewable fuel and water resources. Mowing also dehydrates and compacts the soil. Operating a small gasoline-powered lawn mower
