interconnectedness – Integrating the Spirals

From an Analytical Empath: First Steps along the Metaphysical Path

As I wrote in my book, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection, chapters 6 and 11, I present information regarding connecting points and sacred lessons when I meet a person who has blue eyes. The whole book actually explains the first steps I took along a metaphysical path, but for those who haven’t read it, I’ll jump to the part that most influences my daily life.

The “blue eyes” thing guides me on a near daily basis because of the metaphysical experience I had while in the deeply relaxed state of hypnosis. Though I’d went for a hypnosis session as a birthday gift to myself with a goal of releasing excess weight on my body, I got a whole lot more out of it, including an introduction to my “less than day-old sister,” Christina, whom I’d been searching for my whole life–up to that point in time. (I’m an only child out of the six pregnancies my mom had.)

Long after that hypnotherapy session, the words Christina gave me, return to me when I’m talking with or listening to a blue-eyed person–especially on any deep subjects or profound wisdom. She’d told me she would speak to me through such people, and because she said that, I definitely perk up and listen more intently to blue-eyed persons, though of course, I listen to people who possess other eye colors too.

There are a few people who I’ve began following recently (with blue eyes) who stand out though, and one of those is Mikki Willis.

What I get out of online groups

Most recently, in a Mikki Willis group called, Decoding the Narrative, I met a lady named, Zen. And I’m writing this because, as you may have guessed, Zen also has blue eyes!

Our latest call was of an interview/conversation between Mikki and Zen Cryar DeBrucke and her idea of an Internal Guidance System, with many of us participating adding in the chat about our own physical sensations like tightness, tingling, breath shifts, or relaxation as we reflected on what Zen was explaining (“closed” versus “open” states). The conversation connected around the discussion to spiritual discernment, pattern interrupts, EFT, Abraham-Hicks, compassion, truth, and the importance of stillness, journaling, and choosing love over fear.

Several people shared personal stories and insights about intuition, faith, and guidance, including comparisons to the Holy Ghost, gut feelings, and the need to quiet the mind to hear inner wisdom. Others discussed broader themes like propaganda, division in society, truth, and the value of having another person help balance one’s perspective.

The conversation also included practical follow-up details: Zen Cryar DeBrucke was identified by name, her website and podcast links were shared, and participants exchanged greetings from many locations around the world.

Here’s a link to Zen’s podcast series: https://zencryardebrucke.com/podcast/

I’m interested to know if any of her podcasts resonate with you! I was trying to listen to her, Life happens in a Spiral, episode 3 today, but it kept showing me a message that the episode was not on SoundCloud. Maybe some of you can check and see if you can hear her podcast episodes. I sent a message to her via her website form, so we’ll see what the issue is. As I really would like to promote her podcasts! (I clicked on a few more and got the same error message.)

Thankfully, I can listen to Zen on this podcast too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOJKG_UN_M0

In my Dr. Bruce Lipton online group, I met another soulie sister, she doesn’t have blue eyes (at least I don’t think she does), but I align with her on many topics and she does a podcast on YouTube and has invited me to participate on it! I’m stoked! So, stay tuned and I’ll be writing more about that soon. Her name is Gina Virginia Casella and you can find her on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nzxa74uBP0k&list=PLVFj1n_d5fHweqjufWJIS4y2Ph3DZgDSo&index=9 and Bruce’s nephew, Alex Lipton has also been a presenter on Gina’s show and here’s a link to his lively and very informative episode: https://youtu.be/Ki1Zulz13n0?si=oK-CbwIijkYzRGzK

Lastly, for my science minded readers, I just read this (else it would have been in my new book) from the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) and it focuses on the science of this beautiful living universe of which, we are all a part: https://noetic.org/blog/unitive-science-of-a-living-universe/

Integrating the Spirals: Can our thoughts be read?

In my new book,We Are All Connected: The How and The Why we take a look at a profound mystery—how could I have heard words spoken in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep: “We are all connected.” But also, it seems as mystical that people can read other’s minds. And we know that is true because of government programs like MK Ultra. We also know that thoughts, or at least brain waves (brain activity) can be read OUTSIDE of a human skull. A magnetoencephalograph proves it.

Yes, as I wrote in my book, I am fascinated by the magnetoencephalograph, ever since first hearing of it from Dr. Bruce Lipton on one of our monthly zoom calls.

I asked Perplexity.ai “Tell me more about the convergence of science between the magnetoencephelograph and reading human thoughts” and here’s what I found out:

The convergence is real, but it is still decoding brain signals, not literally reading thoughts in a mind-to-mind sense. MEG helps because it measures brain activity with millisecond timing, and recent AI methods are using those signals to reconstruct words, sentences, or the gist of a person’s experience with increasing accuracy.

What MEG contributes

MEG, or magnetoencephalography, records tiny magnetic fields produced by neural activity outside the head, which makes it useful for studying fast language and cognition processes. Its biggest advantage in thought-decoding research is temporal precision: it can track how representations unfold moment by moment, even if it is less spatially exact than fMRI.

How “thought reading” works

In practice, researchers train machine-learning models on a person’s brain data while that person listens, reads, types, or imagines language. The model then learns statistical links between brain patterns and intended words, visual concepts, or sentence structure, which lets it reconstruct a likely text or meaning output.

Where the convergence is strongest

The strongest overlap between MEG and thought-decoding is in language, inner speech, reading, and visual imagery. Recent work reports that MEG can support decoding of sentences typed by participants and that brain activity contains dynamic language codes that help separate letters, syllables, and words over time.

Limits and cautions

This is not general-purpose mind reading. The systems are usually personalized, work best when the participant cooperates, and depend on training data from the same person or task; they also still make errors and do not capture private thoughts reliably outside controlled experiments.

Why it matters

The scientific convergence is between neuroscience, signal processing, and AI. That combination could eventually help people with paralysis, ALS, or speech loss communicate, while also raising serious privacy questions about neural data and consent.

A simple way to think about it is this: MEG is like a very fast microphone for brain timing, and AI is the translator trying to infer the words behind the signal. The microphone is impressive, but the translation is still probabilistic, not omniscient.

Meme: I am Infinite Awareness; a Fractal of Omniscience. And so are YOU. We Are All Connected. –Sheila Murrey

It’s not all Woo anymore!

If you get what I’m suggesting in this blog post and even understand what a magnetoencephalograph does, even just a bit—you’re already in alignment with quantum physics. Yes, indeed, we already live in a world of modern research that proves we live within a vast, vibrating field of frequencies and forces that tie galaxies together and shape every cell in your body. What ancient mystics called oneness, scientists now describe as entanglement and coherence. I’m simply here to bring this message out to the forefront.

Everything is Spiritual

My exploration is not only scientific—it’s deeply personal. I believe we can reclaim our sovereignty and cultivate self‑love, along with love for others, when we strengthen and open our hearts and minds for authentic connection.

If you’re into scientists and authors such as Bruce Lipton, Gregg Braden, Joe Dispenza, Neale Donald Walsch, Nassim Haramein, Donna Eden, Barbara Brennan, Raymond Moody, or William Peters, you’ll find (like I have) that the “woo” quickly becomes “wow” when you dig deep.

Look at it this way, the “woo” is simply shorthand for wonder. The wonder of realizing that our thoughts matter. That fear, bias, and self‑doubt can cloud our inner mirror. And that when we polish that mirror of Self—when we love ourselves enough to shine—we add clarity and brilliance to the collective diamond that is humanity. It really isn’t any wonder that the first song my husband and I wrote (while we were dating long distance over twenty years ago) is called, Wonderin’. (See the video of us performing it live on the home page of this blog site.)

I invite you to read my new book

If you’ve ever felt something stir inside you at the sight of a starry sky, or sensed a connection you couldn’t explain, then you’ve already touched the essence of “We are all connected.”

Ask yourself: How woo‑woo are you willing to be if it helps you remember that you’re never alone, always part of one breathing, beating universe?

Because maybe woo‑woo isn’t fringe—it’s the invitation for us to wonder again.

An Empath’s Metaphysical Discoveries of Connectedness to ease sadness and loneliness

So, though the title of this post is different than my previous, https://sheilamurrey.net/2026/04/13/a-cure-to-loneliness-a-new-purpose/, but it follows along the same snails path in that it seeks to explain where I’m at in this particular point in time, as per my church affiliation and spiritual philosophy (which includes my recent (2025) return to accepting the living Christ Jesus into my heart).

Robyn Openshaw, (thank you for asking) I’m technically still a member of the Reorganized church, which I talk about in the blog. (I’d sent Robyn my previous blog post, referred to and linked in the preceding paragraph, but she couldn’t open the link.) I don’t practice it though since it changed to Community of Christ. My uncle is a pastor of a branch that meets in a person’s home of the Remnant Church. Yes, it’s another faction, and took its doctrine from the original, with a prophet president of direct lineage to Smith.

I don’t follow the trends of LDS nor do I know about Michelle Stone. (I’ve since looked her up and apparently she’s been recently shut down by the LDS for speaking a bit too openly on her podcast.)

The blog article (same preceding link) details how one of the Remnant bishops teach apologetics. I’m comparing his teachings with what I learned from Wes Huff last year.

My spiritual philosophy

I follow and teach the snails path, which came to me since visiting Newgrange and Knowth in Ireland (twice) in 2019. No more dogma for me. Simply based on a knowing that expands gradually of Omniscience God, and observing the fractals of nature and musing about life’s mysteries. Acknowledging that the unseen exists. That every time we deprogram ourselves from one box, we find we’re in another. But the snails path of a never ending spiral prompts us onward. Curiously, I am walking the path with Christ Jesus again though, after getting burned by most of the “love and light” crowd (who are more judgmental and negative than the Christians I have known my whole life; Christians who never left my side while I ventured into New Age stuff). God is still good, all the time. ❤️🙏🤗

What Robyn asked me

When I’d written that reply to Robyn, I had thought I was answering a private Messenger message. Since it was shared to her Facebook page, I’ll won’t share it (I was going to), but I haven’t asked her permission so I will paraphrase,

“I can’t click the link you sent. Did you start a remnant LDS church or belong to one? I know the name of the Reorganized church changed. I want nothing to do with the origin church. Have you seen the trend among the LDS to deny that the leader practiced polygamy? I think some people need to belong to a church.”

Now, I didn’t rebut Robyn’s statement about Joseph Smith, Jr. and any ties of his to polygamy, but the origin church did not practice polygamy. Polygamy started after Brigham Young took a group of LDS members west. This is recorded in the Reorganized now, Community of Christ church history. Even Perplexity.ai had this to say,

“The Community of Christ, formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, has historically denied that Joseph Smith, Jr. practiced polygamy, and it has taught that plural marriage was introduced later by Brigham Young and others. The historical record tied to that tradition therefore does mention the issue, but mainly as a point of disagreement and denial rather than as an affirmation of Smith’s polygamy.

Over time, some Community of Christ materials and related scholarship have acknowledged that the wider historical evidence supports Joseph Smith’s involvement in plural marriage, even though the church’s older official stance was rejection of that claim.”

Now, that last paragraph came from a site called, The Joseph Smith Papers: https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/intro/introduction-to-journals-volume-2 And in those papers I found this reference, which I presume is what Robyn is referring to, “Several later documents suggest that several women who were already married to other men were, like Marinda Hyde
, married or sealed to Joseph Smith. Available evidence indicates that some of these apparent polygynous/polyandrous marriages took place during the years covered by this journal. At least three of the women reportedly involved in these marriages—Patty Bartlett Sessions
, Ruth Vose Sayers, and Sylvia Porter Lyon
—are mentioned in the journal, though in contexts very much removed from plural marriage.
Even fewer sources are extant for these complex relationships than are available for Smith’s marriages to unmarried women, and Smith’s revelations are silent on them. Having surveyed the available sources, historian Richard L. Bushman concludes that these polyandrous marriages—and perhaps other plural marriages of Joseph Smith—were primarily a means of binding other families to his for the spiritual benefit and mutual salvation of all involved.”

Now, if my mother had known it was true that Joseph Smith, Jr. had been married to more than one wife, I believe mom would have left the church. This opens another rabbit hole for me to pursue, but one that I tend to doubt I will find an answer for until I reach the Grand Beyond. Thus my next post will answer another question that has come to me on the cult that Jack Parsons, the rocket maker, belonged to in the years leading up to his death. It will focus on his connection with L.Ron Hubbard too and the beginnings of NASA. So, hang on to your seats!

Now, do you see why I’m never sad or lonely? Who has time! I’ve got more rabbit holes to peruse than (to quote my mom) “Carter’s got liver pills”! Ha!

A cure to loneliness; a new purpose

A short title, but long article today because as I sat in meditation regarding the question of ‘loneliness’ a list began to come to me, and I wanted to get that down on virtual paper. As well, or maybe to begin with, I recalled a saying that a preacher of mine, back when I used to attend a interdenominational church, used to say, “Loneliness isn’t a lack of people, but a lack of purpose.” He may have been a fraud, but I’ve held onto that message as a truism for over thirty years.

I attended that interdenominational church for about two years in the early 1990s (during a time when I had questioned the religion I’d been raised in).

The man whom I had lived with for a year and left, came back to me saying he’d “found Jesus” and that there was a church close to his house where we could attend and take my two children. Though I wasn’t sure I could trust him, I played along and attended that new church, as well as attend and teach some classes at some folks’ home where we had little home church meetings of my original church. My second ex-husband and I had that interdenominational preacher baptize us in the ocean together. And we married in that church. I had even enrolled my two children in that church’s private Christian school for a few months, which turned out to be a disaster. The whole marriage turned out to be a disaster too, but no need to go into that.

Perhaps needless to say, I never officially left my original church and that interdenominational church preacher ended up absconding with church monies and left the area with the church secretary. I’ve always wondered what happened to his beautiful wife and their children. Sad. Also, I hate to say it, but I’ve seen that kind of thing happen in all kinds of churches over the course of my life. That just happened to be the only one I’d ever put my personal time and money into! Let alone, my second ex-husband had never truly been “saved” either.

But daresay, I still believe “Loneliness isn’t a lack of people, but a lack of purpose.” If that was the one lesson I brought with me out of that debacle, maybe it was worth it.

Cure to loneliness

The short list to cure loneliness that dropped into my mind goes something like this:

Because even empty space is not actually empty, it is impossible for any of us to “be alone.”
We are loved by the creator of the universe more than we could possibly fathom.
While being in community feels good and each human has a drive to live and work in community, some of us can function well and enjoy a good life while living alone, as long as we have a strong sense of purpose.
When someone feels lonely, it is because they are focusing on an unmet need; humans often feel they need emotional support or physical touch from others.

I wrote about this topic years ago as well; I’ll share the previous post with you again: https://sheilamurrey.net/2016/04/03/take-it-spiritually-upon-yourself/

Speaking of purpose, I never feel lonely not matter what is going on, because I have a laptop nearly full of writing topics that if I live another twenty years, I sincerely doubt I will get everything done I have on my list to do, much less books on the shelf to read, and an insatiable curiosity to learn more! Though yes, I know, the Bible says I don’t need to “lean on my own understanding.” But God gave me a brain too, so there’s that! Smiling.

Apologetics research

In addition, I wanted to introduce you to a term you may not have heard of before. That term is Apologetics. The definition I’ll go with comes from a teacher I have only recently begun to follow, and that is Bishop Josh Turner from The Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The word may remind you quickly of the word, Apology, and there’s some truth to where we’re going with that. But per Wes Huff, who I credit in leading me back to Christ in 2025. And to clarify, I will say that while I lean not to dogma nor my conditioning (insofar that any of us can de-program ourselves of past conditioning, which is an ongoing process), I have used further study to bolster my faith in Christ Jesus. And this is what I refer to when I say Wes, “led me back” to Christ.

I’ll say that my Interfaith, New Thought, and Unity studies led me to people like Billy Carson and Russell Brand. There were others, many others, but for purposes of this article, I’ll name them simply because I would not have found Wes Huff had it not been for Billy Carson. And when Russell converted to Catholicism, I had to take a huge pause and sit with “What the heck is going on?” And I had to realize that perhaps I had been getting led astray, though my knowing that Omniscience God covers ALL wouldn’t let me go down a path, any path, that would cost me my soul. And beyond that, I knew from the metaphysical experiences I’d had that at any point, I could be rescued if rescuing was needed.

Here’s the Wes Huff video that turned my spiritual life back around: https://youtu.be/F7ngjtT43-4?si=b0MAicbmvHmpBJZ3

I spent several months going back over previous Billy Carson videos I’d watched and then exploring Aaron Abke and Wes Huff videos, not just the ones where they hashed stuff out, but also, some of their individual videos. I also became a member of 4DU (the online university of Aaron Abke’s where he offers a community–and I made some friends there, as well as, I paid for a couple of his classes, one being the Ontology of Christ). When I tell you I did a deep dive on this topic, let me assure you, I did!

And here’s the first of six videos from Bishop Josh Turner that I’m currently watching on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/live/W87nNpAZV84?si=-HT6y2yDQHW25Oc1

My religious background

My religious history involves a kind of convoluted story. I’m technically still a member of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (now known as the Community of Christ; I was baptized into it when I was 8 years of age), and my uncle is a pastor of the Remnant Church, which carries direct lineage from the original church that was organized by Joseph Smith Jr. in 1830. And the Remnant considers itself to be the “one true church” the same as the Reorganized church had. And the whole idea of any “one true church” is what caused me to leave and continue seeking, as in my heart and mind I feel anyone who truly follows Christ Jesus is a member of His church, and no human organization has the right to claim themselves as the “one true church.”

Additionally, I take issue with the fact that the Remnant church is headquartered near the Temple Lot in Independence, Missouri, which is directly across the street from the Independence Temple (that my mother, aunt, and grandmother all contributed money to during it’s building phase), that is now home of the Community of Christ (which, for whatever reason really annoys me). I know that’s TMI and confusing, but that’s what happens when someone, or a small faction within a church disagrees with some dogma and then splits off to form their own organization.

When I read that the Remnant Church maintains a belief in a geophysical Zion, I think that follows the original teaching from the time of Joseph Smith Jr., that Zion would be raised up on the earth in Independence, Missouri. For sure that empty Temple Lot was where it was prophesied would be the place where the final temple would be built. Thus, Zion would not be raised in any other country, especially NOT Israel. The Remnant church lists their foundational beliefs, as written by Joseph Smith Jr. on the Remnant Church’s website as “Our Epitome of Faith.”

About the church names, not that it may matter, but in the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints was, in the 1970s and 1980s was highly criticized by members within and is why the Remnant church split off from it. Some of the issues involved whether to allow women to hold priesthood status and to end the lineal succession doctrine concerning the prophet president, and when and where to build the Independence temple. My mom was okay with a few of the changes as presented, but when it came to women holding priesthood office, the lineal succession, and new name for the church–that’s where she drew the line. But we never got her church membership changed from the Community of Christ to the Remnant church, and that is something I would still like to do, especially when I get my membership changed.

A descendant of Joseph Smith, Jr. by April 2002, Frederick Niels Larsen was chosen as the President of the High Priesthood and prophet of the Remnant Church until his death on April 26, 2019. Following his death, Terry Wayne Patience became President of the High Priesthood/Prophet/President of the church on June 29, 2019 during a special conference of the church.

How woo-woo are you?

“How woo‑woo are you?” It’s a question that tends to make people smile, cringe, or lean in. Some wear the label proudly—crystals, moon charts, and oracle decks in hand—while others back away, insisting they stick only to “the facts.” But what if the line between science and spirituality isn’t as sharp as we think?

That’s where We Are All Connected: The How and The Why steps in. The book began with a midnight mystery—two words spoken aloud in an empty house: “We are all connected.” Those words sparked a twenty‑year quest into what that message truly means, from the cosmos to the human heart.

So, how woo‑woo are you really? Let’s find out.

Woo‑Woo Meets Physics

If you believe everything is energy, congratulations—you’re already in alignment with quantum physics. Modern research shows that we live within a vast, vibrating field of frequencies and forces that tie galaxies together and shape every cell in your body. What ancient mystics called oneness, scientists now describe as entanglement and coherence.

The “woo‑woo” mindset simply asks: If the entire universe is interconnected, what does that say about us? Every emotion, thought, and choice ripples outward through those unseen fields. In We Are All Connected, Sheila Murrey weaves together cosmology, biology, and noetic science to show that the human experience is both physical and profoundly energetic.

The Spiritual Side of Everyday Life

Murrey’s journey is not just scientific—it’s deeply personal. Healing codependency and reclaiming sovereignty became essential steps toward realizing that love and boundaries aren’t opposites. They’re two sides of the same coin. When we cultivate self‑love, we strengthen the heartspace that allows authentic connection.

This isn’t about escaping the human experience—it’s about fully inhabiting it. Meditation, hypnosis, and those uncanny synchronicities that show up when we least expect them aren’t fluff; they’re invitations to notice how life itself keeps proving that we’re part of something greater.

From Woo to Wow

Whether you’re drawn to Bruce Lipton’s biology, Nassim Haramein’s unified field theories, or Raymond Moody’s research on near‑death experiences, you’ll find that the “woo” quickly becomes “wow” once you trace it far enough. Modern technology, ancestry, sociology, and psychology all reveal invisible networks that link us to each other and to Omniscience itself.

So maybe “woo‑woo” is just shorthand for wonder. The wonder of realizing that our thoughts matter. That fear, bias, and self‑doubt can cloud our inner mirror. And that when we polish that mirror of Self—when we love ourselves enough to shine—we add clarity and brilliance to the collective diamond that is humanity.

The Invitation

If you’ve ever felt something stir inside you at the sight of a starry sky, or sensed a connection you couldn’t explain, then you’ve already touched the essence of “We are all connected.”

Ask yourself: How woo‑woo are you willing to be if it helps you remember that you’re never alone, always part of one breathing, beating universe?

Because maybe woo‑woo isn’t the fringe—it’s the bridge.

Metaphysical Messages from an Analytical Empath

Sometimes the messages are going on all around us, but in ways most of us miss! We just do not have the ears to hear! Okay, so this time my title is a tad misleading because the metaphysical messages I’m going to be writing about aren’t from me (the analytical empath) but I didn’t want to give it away until I got into the article.

As I wrote in my book, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection my mom was the first to introduce me to trees, by way of her love for them. And after she passed/crossed over to the Grand Beyond, while walking with my dad along a side road to a campground near the hotel we were staying at, he began pointing to various trees, Ash, Elder, Oak, Hickory, and more. I was shocked! My dad was so well versed in trees, and I’d lived all my life with him and never known how knowledgeable he was about them! I then had a moment of realization that he and mom must have had loads of discussion about trees over the years that I’d simply missed, or ignored. Wow!

During the last few years, while researching for my fifth book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers, I found more intriguing ideas about trees: how trees show off their fractal design patterns, how they connect with one another physically through their root systems and communicate with the mycelium network, as well as self-organize for efficiency, resilience, and ready themselves for change. Just think about how trees prepare for the winter! I wrote specifically about Redwood trees, my favorite, the Yew tree, and Banyan trees. There are so many wonders to continue to explore when it comes to trees, that I’m very glad we live in New England, so I can explore even more trees than we had in Florida!

Tree Messages

I saw this post on Facebook today about tree communication and simply had to share it in its entirety. I had known of a way to place a device on a tree and be able to listen to the sounds it conveys, but I had not heard of this specific study before! I’m always astounded when I come across a message, that’s as much about communication we can’t hear (without using sensitive technology) as the metaphysical messages we receive in a dream or ethereal encounter!

“Scientists just confirmed that trees actively communicate with each other using ultrasonic sound pulses — forests are engaged in continuous acoustic conversation at frequencies completely inaudible to human ears.

Researchers at the University of Florence used ultrasonic microphones sensitive to frequencies between 20 and 200 kilohertz — far above the 20 kilohertz limit of human hearing — to record communication between European beech trees in Tuscany’s Casentino Forest. Trees under drought stress emitted distinctive ultrasonic click patterns at 40-80 kilohertz that neighboring trees responded to within 6 hours by closing their stomata — the leaf pores that control water loss — before they themselves experienced any drought stress. The responding trees showed measurable physiological changes indicating they received and acted on the acoustic drought warning from their stressed neighbors.”

“Physical mechanism analysis confirmed the clicks originate from microscopic cavitation events — tiny bubbles forming and collapsing in water-conducting xylem tissue as drought stress builds — which propagate through both the air and the soil, traveling up to 50 meters between trees. The signal pattern carries information about stress severity — trees under severe drought produce higher frequency clicks more rapidly than mildly stressed trees — suggesting the acoustic communication carries quantitative not merely binary warning information.

Scientists now describe forests not as collections of independent competing organisms but as acoustically connected communities actively sharing survival information in real time.”

I am Spiritual, but without dogma. Period.

As I wrote in my post yesterday, https://sheilamurrey.net/2026/04/03/integrating-the-spirals-exploring-the-last-deception/ I feel we’ve been deceived many times, not only by our politicians, but by the powers that be, belief systems, books, creeds, dogmas and unseen forces.

My husband asked me why I even watched The Lazarus Initiative’s Symposium 55, and I think it’s because I am always open to new information and then, if something from the conversation sparks my curiosity, I dig deeper. And that’s exactly what happened when I listened to Dave Emery and Sacha Stone’s conversation.

So, like I wrote yesterday, I decided to dive into the question, “What are the 14 books that were omitted from the Bible?” and here’s what I found (with the help of Perplexity.ai):

The 14 books commonly referred to as the Apocrypha were removed from the Protestant Bible, primarily in the 19th century, though they were separated by Martin Luther in the 16th century. These books—which appeared in the 1611 King James Bible—were excluded because they were not in the Hebrew Bible and were deemed less authoritative than canonical texts.

The 14 books are:

1 Esdras
2 Esdras
Tobit
Judith
Rest of Esther (Additions to Esther)
Wisdom of Solomon
Ecclesiasticus (Sirach)
Baruch and the Epistle of Jeremiah
Song of the Three Holy Children (Additions to Daniel)
Story of Susanna (Additions to Daniel)
Bel and the Dragon (Additions to Daniel)
Prayer of Manasseh
1 Maccabees
2 Maccabees

Why They Were Removed

Protestant Reformation: Reformers like Martin Luther preferred to follow the Hebrew canon of the Old Testament for the Protestant Bible, considering the Apocrypha as useful for reading but not for establishing doctrine.

Theological Differences: Several books contained doctrines that Protestant reformers disagreed with, such as purgatory, prayers for the dead, and salvation by works (e.g., in Maccabees and Tobit).

Language and Authority: These books were primarily found in the Greek Septuagint rather than the Hebrew scriptures, leading to questions about their divine inspiraCurrent StatusThese books are still considered part of the biblical canon by the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox churches, deuterocanonical books. They are generally omitted from Protestant Bibles today, though they were included in the original 1611 King James Bible as a separate section.

What’s in those 14 books?

The “14 missing books” are the Apocrypha (or Deuterocanonicals): Greek‑Jewish writings that were included in the 1611 King James Bible and in the early Christian Old Testament (Septuagint), but which most Protestant churches later removed to the side or omitted altogether. Eastern‑rite Christians (Catholic, Orthodox, etc.) still count many of these as fully canonical Scripture.

Here’s the 14 books/additions with a brief summary of each:

1. 1 Esdras

A Greek reworking of parts of 2 Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah, with extra material and a different order. It focuses on the return from exile and the issue of intermarriage with foreign women, framed as a test of faithfulness.

2. 2 Esdras (4 Ezra)

A Jewish apocalypse written after the destruction of the Second Temple (c. late 1st century CE). A visionary “Ezra” asks God why the righteous suffer and why Israel has been so grievously punished; the book stresses God’s patience and final judgment, and it includes visions of the end‑time and the Messiah.

3. Tobit

A pious Israelite, Tobit, living in exile in Nineveh, turns blind. His son, Tobias, journeys with a disguised angel (Raphael) to recover money and marries Sarah, who has been plagued by a demon. Tobias drives the demon away and later cures his father’s blindness, blending family piety, angelic guidance, and healing.

4. Judith

A courageous Jewish widow, Judith, enters the camp of Holofernes, an Assyrian general besieging her people. She seduces and plies him with wine, then beheads him while he is drunk, causing the enemy army to collapse and saving Jerusalem. The book is a powerful story of faith, resistance, and female heroism.

5. Additions to Esther (Rest of Esther)

These are six Greek insertions into the Book of Esther that add prayers, visions, and explicit references to God. They turn the Hebrew Esther’s largely “hidden‑name‑of‑God” story into a more overtly religious narrative of fasting, divine deliverance, and Jewish unity.

6. Wisdom of Solomon (Wisdom)

A philosophical “wisdom” book,” written in the persona of Solomon. It contrasts the wise, righteous person who seeks God’s wisdom with the foolish, wicked person who pursues pleasure and power. It also touches on immortality, judgment, and divine justice, and became influential in later Christian theology.

7. Ecclesiasticus (Sirach / Ben Sira)

A large collection of traditional Jewish wisdom, modeled on Proverbs. It covers practical advice on honoring parents, friendship, speech, humility, work, and piety, and includes a famous hymn praising famous Israelites. It feels like a very “rabbinic‑style” instruction manual.

8. Baruch (with the Epistle of Jeremiah)

Baruch is presented as the secretary of the prophet Jeremiah, writing from Babylon to exiled Jews. It contains lament, confession of sin, and hope for restoration, and then includes a short letter (often called the Epistle of Jeremiah) that sharply mocks idol worship and false gods.

9. Song of the Three Holy Children (Prayer of Azariah and Song of the Three Jews)

This is an addition to Daniel 3, inserted into the fiery‑furnace scene. It includes a prayer of Azariah (Abed‑nego) while in the fire and a long hymn of praise by the three young men, expanding the motif of unbroken worship in suffering.

10. Story of Susanna (Susanna and the Elders)

Also an addition to Daniel (often Dan 13), it tells of a virtuous Jewish woman, Susanna, falsely accused of adultery by two corrupt elders. The young prophet Daniel shames the elders by exposing their contradictory testimony, sparing Susanna’s life and condemning the elders. It’s a suspenseful courtroom drama about justice and integrity.

11. Bel and the Dragon

Another Daniel‑addition (often Dan 14), where Daniel exposes the fraud behind a Babylonian idol, Bel, by showing the priests steal the nightly offerings. He then kills a “dragon”‑idol by giving it a poisonous concoction, demonstrating that pagan gods are ritual theater, not real deities.

12. Prayer of Manasseh

A short penitential prayer attributed to King Manasseh of Judah, who according to 2 Kings was one of the most wicked kings. The prayer portrays a king who, after suffering for his sins, deeply repents and begs God for mercy, emphasizing grace and forgiveness.

13. 1 Maccabees

A historical narrative of the Maccabean Revolt (2nd century BCE) against the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes, who tried to force Hellenization and outlaw Jewish practices. It celebrates the family of Judas Maccabeus, their military victories, and the rededication of the Jerusalem Temple (the origin of Hanukkah).

14. 2 Maccabees

A more theologically oriented and selective retelling of part of the same revolt, focusing on martyrdom, the resurrection of the dead, and the efficacy of prayers for the dead. It emphasizes that God rewards faithfulness beyond death and that Jewish resistance is ultimately under divine protection.

Why many were “removed” from Protestant Bibles

They were written mostly in Greek, not Hebrew, and were not in the Jewish (Masoretic) canon, so Reformers like Luther treated them as useful but not doctrinally authoritative.
Several books promote ideas that later Protestant theology resisted, such as prayers for the dead, purgatory‑like concepts, and strong emphasis on merit and works, especially in Maccabees and Tobit.

If you’re like me, at least a couple of these books look interesting and I will be reading them in the future. Which ones stand out for you?

I simply feel each of us can connect with Omniscience God, without the need for the Programming of dogmas. We can be our own priest, shaman, and so on. In a way, yes, that makes each of us sovereign. But I don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. As a sovereign, I can choose (and each of us ultimately do choose), which path we’ll walk and if we’ll go it alone, or with a teacher or master. And in that way, I choose Jesus. He’s helped me more than I’ll ever know!

Meme: Omniscience God is EVERYWHERE… We Are All Connected. –Sheila Murrey

While I research things such as this, I always stay aware that “I am enveloped by Omniscience.” And this way, I don’t get sucked downward in a rabbit hole spiral or lose my faith. Been there, done that! I always laugh to myself when something comes back around that I’ve already pursued to some degree and found not to be true. I don’t push against it anymore or call it out because everyone learns and grows in their own way. And if there is any truth to be found in something, the information will keep coming up (like a weed), and others will bring that truth forward. Or that truth just may not be for me, and that’s okay too!

UPDATED paperback book NOW AVAILABLE on Amazon! We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers.

Yes, my husband has always said I’d never be able to unalive myself because I would never be able to finish my suic*de note, alas, here I am AGAIN with an announcement involving this PAPERBACK book! LOL! I had to update my 5th book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers because one of my most dedicated readers, Brenda F. (who wrote a beautiful review on Amazon for my Blue Eyes book), and who had waited patiently for Amazon to get the paperback made available, since it was supposed to Go Live on March 18th, but didn’t. You see, she got the first copy of We Are All Connected in paperback and then because the text was a bit blurry, couldn’t read it! She and I were both devastated!

Thus, I knew what I had to do. I had to go back into Scrivener and change the fonts on the original manuscript, (several times actually) so I could ensure the final page count was at least close to the original 629 pages so I wouldn’t have to pay to have the cover redone! And believe me, I gave Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing a piece of my mind about that! It’s not easy to update a manuscript and know what the final page count would be until it’s uploaded again–and that’s a whole process too!

Now, I’m thrilled to say the updated paperback is AVAILABLE on Amazon! Woo-hoo doesn’t begin to cover it either! And because Brenda helped me improve the paperback, I’m sending her a signed copy for FREE! That’s just how I am. I’m so happy that she told me there was an issue, as my daughter had told me she also thought the typeface was blurry, but we had thought that was because we were looking at proof copies. I seriously thought it was an issue with the printing service! Ugh. No, it was my choice of fonts. Now, it’s in Times New Roman 16 point size, and I expanding the line spacing as well. I actually thought it would expand the number of pages, so I removed some images. So, if you bought the eBook, you’ll actually see more images than will appear in the paperback. There’s a plus for you. I have no plans to update the eBook, yet. I can do it pretty easily, but I’m torn. I liked all the original images I’d included. I’m waiting to see how the eBook sells. If people like it, I’m going to leave it as is. I have a few readers actually listening to it on their phones! Apparently, there’s a setting on phones that reads eBooks to you–I didn’t know that! (Why do people do Audible books then? I don’t know. Enlighten me!)

I worked near night and day for three days to get the formatting changed. It wasn’t just so simple as changing it in one place and having Scrivener update it all the way through–though that does work beautifully if one doesn’t do what I did, and setup different styles! Ugh! It seems every time I write a book I make some silly mistake and cost myself time. And that’s exactly what happened!

So, if you’d like to help me out and order a paperback copy, I’d really appreciate it! I know it may not be your cup of tea, but I’m willing to bet you that you know that certain someone in your circle who would love to receive a copy as a GIFT! And it would mean the world to me if this book sells well. Not just for the money, but as a wink that all my work has not been in vain. Plus, I’d simply love for more people to know what I now know. I learned so much during the research of this book!

I’m now encouraging those “over 50” to open to lifelong learning (observe, gently question, and loosen up their pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’), become more aware of their thoughts and emotions to encourage more ease, loosen up and move their bodies (too many are stuck in their heads and physically unhealthy), become strong, and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, body.

NEW paperback book NOW AVAILABLE on Amazon! We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers.

My 5th book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers is NOW AVAILABLE on Amazon! Woo-hoo!

We’re taking the WOO out of the box for sure with this one! This book has been more than 20 years in the making. If you feel drawn to big questions about how we’re all connected (science, spirituality, and real life), and are looking for the big and deep answers, this is IT! This book blends science, spirituality, and personal experience, and follows my analytical mind’s 20‑year journey for how—and why—we might truly be connected.

This book dives into quantum science, spirituality, and personal stories about connection. It explores questions like “Are we really separate individuals, or fractals of one whole?” and “What does it mean to live as if connection is real?” If that’s your kind of rabbit hole, I’d love for you to read it. I’m sooo excited!!!

Thanks to Lauren Scott (see her blog at: https://laurenscottdev.wordpress.com), Michael (80smetalman: https://80smetalman.wordpress.com and https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com ), for motivating me and encourage me to keep writing, along with my first beta reader, Andy Lutts, who read and noted what he liked and what he wanted to read more of–he even printed out the manuscript, marked it up, and MAILED me the hundred of pages, for me to make the edits! Wow! Who does that?!? (And that’s why I gave Andy a shout out in the book)!

I’d sure appreciate if you’d check out, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why!

My NEW book goes LIVE tonight at midnight on Amazon! We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers.

My 5th book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers goes LIVE tonight at midnight, March 18th, 2026 (the 600+ page paperback was released on Amazon on March 21st!) The book dives into quantum science, spirituality, and personal stories about connection. It explores questions like “Are we really separate individuals, or fractals of one whole?” and “What does it mean to live as if connection is real?” If that’s your kind of rabbit hole, I’d love for you to read it. I’m sooo excited!!!

Here’s the link where you can grab a copy of, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers. (The link will take you to my Amazon author page).

The book is large in scope. 600+ pages! MARCH 18th, 2026 –> Is Sheela na gig day! And the day my dad and I were going to meetup, but dad passed ten days prior. And that’s why I wanted to launch my 5th book on THAT DATE as a huge wink to my daddy on the Other Side!

March 8th is the anniversary of the day of my daddy’s soul departure–see my previous post regarding that: https://sheilamurrey.net/2019/04/19/a-surreal-vision-of-soul-departing/

I owe a huge THANK YOU to Lauren Scott (see her blog at: https://laurenscottdev.wordpress.com), who’s comment motivated every day these last few months to complete, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. Yes, every author needs motivation to complete their work.

I had been procrastinating for a YEAR, as my fellow author and blogger buddy Michael (80smetalman: https://80smetalman.wordpress.com and https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com ) will attest! Michael and I have been meeting on Zoom calls for more than a year, as he’s completing a second follow up book to He Was Weird, and I had been sitting on the manuscript for my 5th book for months and months. I was uninspired to finish it since my previous books were not selling and I’d been convinced it was due to Amazon algorithms pushing them down in the list. Ugh. But Lauren, wow! This one comment of hers helped more than I’d ever thought it could:

I’d sure appreciate if you’d check out, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why! Here’s the link to order it from Amazon. And when Amazon releases the paperback version, it will show up there as well.

p.s. I go back to the chiropractor next Tuesday to see what he says about my two numb toes. I hope it’s nothing serious (and maybe only related to the sciatica, which I also hope he’ll fix), so I can get back to dancing again.

Integrating the Spirals

I’m encouraging those “over 60” to observe and gently question their thought patterns, pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’ to ease grief and suffering, and gain new perspectives–that’s why I teach Integrating the Spirals. AND I also encourage all of us to move our bodies more consistently (most of us are stuck in our heads and physically unhealthy because of it). We can do better! We can become strong and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, and body. And it’s healthy to expand our consciousness and question EVERYTHING! Just observe, don’t absorb.

Here’s the link where you can preorder, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers. (The link will take you to my Amazon author page).

The book is large in scope. 600+ pages! Book launch date: MARCH 18th, 2026 –> It’s Sheela na gig day! And the day my dad and I were going to meetup, but dad passed ten days prior. So this is… launching my 5th book on THAT DATE is a huge wink to my daddy on the Other Side!

And yes, today, March 8th is the anniversary of the day of my daddy’s soul departure–see my previous post regarding that: https://sheilamurrey.net/2019/04/19/a-surreal-vision-of-soul-departing/ I can’t believe it’s been 7 years since my dad passed away. But he was the first thought I had this morning, and nearly jumped up to check what the date was today!

I asked about twenty friends if they recommended a trusted source for someone to work with me on getting any future paperback books into Kindle Create / KDP for Amazon publishing, but only one actually knew a person, one knew someone who had recently published but that person was unavailable to answer yet as they are on a cruise, and another suggested a publisher. When I told her I wasn’t looking for a publisher, they suggested a new software tool, which I think is going to be like Scrivener.

I already use Scrivener and think it could have probably did more for me to improve the formatting of my manuscript, but I am not an expert in it. Thus, I’m not going to try another new piece of software before becoming expert in Scrivener. And by the time I become an expert in that, I will either start charing money to teach others how to use it, or I will start churning out more books myself! Ha!

Again, the paperback book publishing date is: March 18th, 2026! Just days away!!! So, if you are going to order the book, please either preorder it (though I am not sure if the eBook purchases count towards bestseller status, but it sure helps me financially), or set a reminder for yourself to order the paperback on March 18th, so I have a better shot at getting a bestseller ranking on Amazon.

I’d sure appreciate it! Here’s the link to order from Amazon.

p.s. I just got Richard to dance with me and put a couple different videos of that on YouTube at the link below. One is a full view of his music room and the other is a “short” that I had to record from off my laptop, because I couldn’t create a short from the full view video. One has to create and upload a “short” from their phone. Go figure! Limited technology.

Book Launch date is set! We Are All Connected: The How and The Why drops March 18th, 2026

I’m excited to tell you that I’m currently wrapping up the final touches on the formatting for Kindle Direct Publishing to launch this much anticipated 5th book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers. I have been working nearly night and day the last several months to birth this incredible book and believe me, I’m beat! (I don’t think I have another book in me at this point!)

Meme: I created this in Canva. I actually do have a Visual Communications / Digital Design degree, from back in 2004. But though I have paid for Canva in the past, I didn’t want to pay them again and continue to have issues with the cover, so I hired a book cover designer on Fiverr. I’ll focus on making fun memes like this in Canva for free in support of launching the new book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why, on March 18th, 2026!

If it doesn’t work yet, it will in a few days. I’m still making final page edits (to ensure new chapters start on the right hand side page, and that the headers and footers that KDP adds, will be removed, because I already have page numbers and book title on the manuscript that match the Table of Contents. Ugh! It’s such a process!

I’ve really been doing a juggling act (and I’m also learning juggling right now too, in another Zoom group I’m in), because I’ve also been on social media a bit more every day to market the book… here’s a few of my posts:

It’s a big scope. 600+ pages! Book launch date: MARCH 18th, 2026 –> It’s Sheela na gig day! And the day my dad and I were going to meetup, but dad passed ten days prior. So this is… launching my 5th book on THAT DATE is a huge wink to my daddy on the Other Side!

If I ever write another book, I will pay someone to do the KDP part. The older I get the less techie I want to be, though I did have to fix a book cover error that my Fiverr book cover designer couldn’t figure out today (and it didn’t help that KDP didn’t provide a REASON for the error, when it wouldn’t upload.) Ugh!

Screen capture: View of the book cover error in KDP. I still have no idea what was wrong with it.

But here you can see my comment to the Fiverr designer of what I did to fix the error and get the book cover file to upload successfully into KDP:

Another dilemma I have is that I wanted to print the paperback in color, that is, with a color interior so all of the images in the book will be in color. None of my other books had color interiors, and I really wanted that for this book. But it’s 630 pages in a 7×10 size. KDP will only print in color for books under 600 pages.

I will offer a Kindle version of the book (EPUB), and all of the images will be in color, so at least everyone will have that option. Plus, the ebook will be less expensive. I love ebooks to save trees! And searching through books for various things is sooo much easier too. Hehe!

Again, the book launch date as: March 18th, 2026! Just days away!!! So, if you are going to order the book, please either preorder it or buy it on March 18th, so I have a better shot at getting a bestseller ranking on Amazon. I’d sure appreciate it! Here’s the link to order from Amazon.
