Uncover Your Soul with help from an Analytical Empath

Do you know that’s what we’re doing here? Uncovering our souls? I mean, we do it in art and music. And in our blog writing and book writing. When I wrote in my book, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection and on this blog about feeling the GodBumps, that’s what it is! It’s the uncovering of my soul. It’s an alignment thing, I’m sure.

Here’s the three books I’m currently reading, actually, I am reading four, but the fourth is not a spiritual book and I’ll be doing a review on it in a separate post when I’ve finished it. But these three do align and challenge me in all the right and cool ways! I’m learning so much, uncovering my soul, and it feels like I’m amping my spirituality up a big notch–no ego in this when I say that either. I’m humbled throughout this process. Speaking of humbling…

Three spiritual books I’m reading currently, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, After Jesus Before Christianity, and Jesus Calling (a daily devotional) –Sheila Murrey

I pictured the books along with my daily journal that I write scriptures in to sing them back to myself, God, and Richard (when he’s in the room). I’m about a third of the way through all three books, and the Tibetan book is the one I’m studying with my Theosophy book club, so we get to discuss a lot of it–and that’s really cool.

Taking a bit of my own medicine

This morning I got a message from one of my Facebook friends, fellow blogger and book reader, who let me know that her new printed version of my new book was still not right. Ugh! Frustrated, I went back into Scrivener, checked it and made a couple of changes and attempted to upload it. But Kindle Direct Publishing would NOT accept it. And the twenty errors did NOT make sense to me. One was a font issue and the font it named was not a font I’ve EVER used, and there was no way for me to find it within Scrivener (that I know of). I was about ready to delete all twenty items, but one was the entire Table of Contents. I did end up deleting the ToC and adding it again, just to be sure. After about five uploads and the Previewer would NOT let me APPROVE it (the Approve button would not light up/activate for me to click), I reached out in a chat with KDP.

During the chat, my darling husband came downstairs and interrupted me wanting to go outside for a walk. Now, it’s 40 degrees out, but sunny and I had promised him that as long as it wasn’t snowing or raining, we’d walk. No matter how cold it is, though it is supposed to be 55 degrees this afternoon. I tried to get him to wait until this afternoon but he fussed (I do tease him that after his stroke, he’s my toddler), but alas, in my head I thought, “Just go for the walk, Sheila.” So, that’s what I did. Though I was over my eyeballs frustrated with Amazon. Okay?

We had a lovely walk, and when I came back in the house and opened the laptop up, I looked at the Amazon KDP screen again and noticed something that made me realize KDP had NOT actually uploaded my final document upload. So, I did the upload again and crossed my fingers. I went to the restroom and when I came back, TADA! The upload worked AND that Approve button lit up! So, I approved the upload and it accepted it! I hope to God this is the last time I ever have to touch Amazon KDP!

So, I had typed quite a bit of this former few paragraphs into a comment to a friend on her blog and no kidding, it wouldn’t take it! It showed me a message that my comment would not be posted. I think it was because I had to login again but in that moment, I couldn’t even process how much the Universe was showing me that when I’m aggravated it’s just simply not going to respond to me! Ha!

I took a break and came back and have now rekeyed it all into THIS post. We’ll see if WordPress will save it, or allow me to publish it. LOL

I’ve got a few new book ads out too, so if you’re following my YouTube channel or any of my other socials you’ll see them. Check out the book too, if you’re at all interested. Or pick up a copy for a woo-woo type friend. I would really appreciate it.

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. 1 Esdras
  2. 2 Esdras
  3. Tobit
  4. Judith
  5. Rest of Esther (Additions to Esther)
  6. Wisdom of Solomon
  7. Ecclesiasticus (Sirach)
  8. Baruch and the Epistle of Jeremiah
  9. Song of the Three Holy Children (Additions to Daniel)
  10. Story of Susanna (Additions to Daniel)
  11. Bel and the Dragon (Additions to Daniel)
  12. Prayer of Manasseh
  13. 1 Maccabees
  14. 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!

Integrating the Spirals: Exploring The Last Deception

Yes, the title drew me in too. 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 perhaps, gasp, even unseen forces.

From watching The Lazarus Initiative’s Symposium 55, I really dug into The Last Deception: The Collapse Of The Abrahamic Spell conversation between Sacha Stone and special guest, Dave Emery. Those of you who ordered and/or are currently reading my new book, may have already noticed I pull several quotes from guests, and Sacha as well, from my time watching/listening to the interviews and conversations within the most recent symposiums on The Lazarus Initiative. I’m a Bronze level member of the group.

This talk is billed as “a forensic examination of inherited belief structures and how they continue to shape power, geopolitics, and collective psychology.” And it turns out that is a good way to describe it.

Dave opens by presenting some astonishing and albeit, controversial information and lays out a case for why we seem to do things without thinking, or things that we later wonder “why did I do that”? And that is because we’re being vicariously lived through (by angelic or fallen ones), who created a language matrix within us so we’d live out of our heads and not our hearts. It’s deep discussion that I feel I would need to listen to many times, along with reading Dave’s book, Beyond the Biblical and Into The Universe of You, to dare understand. But if this interests you, you may want to join the Lazarus Initiative and do the same. I have several other books to read first though, so I may return to this in a year or so. I will say, it interests me though it may also be misleading me or taking me off the snail’s path to veer into further mysteries! In other words, I may simply not be up to the task!

During the talk Dave said, (and I quote but also cut some out for brevity’s sake), “Christianity was taken over effectively around 325 AD, exploding very quickly into the minds and hearts of men and women throughout the mediterranean. Once the Romans became involved (think Constantine about 313 AD), it was clear to the controllers/elites trying to control the geosocial pattern and behaviors of humanity, that if they weren’t careful, Christianity could begin to action things of Melchizedek; I Am codes, sacred codes by which we were to live. The Cathars were becoming important and were totally into the sacred codes. There was a great need not just to control the narrative through the Bible that was carefully vetted and organized through the 325 AD Council of Nicea and a great need to sideline humanity from the sacredness of the Christos. As a result, it’s curious that Abraham, the instigator of the Christian one God religion, Jehovah, should suddenly, also miraculously through a servant girl, Hagar, and her son called, Ishmael, manifest a competing religion. Originally, it didn’t compete but very quickly it did. And that became (now he quoted Sacha, an excellent mechanism for ‘divide and conquer’). That would set one group of angelic humans against another. And that would spread across the world and completely control and reinforce the matrix code to ‘do as you are told’, with rules and regulations. Very little of this has actually changed (laws and orders); but some are waking up. Most continue to follow the code religiously (pun intended).”

Dave Emery’s writing on religion appears to argue that biblical faith has profoundly shaped Western history, but that human history and identity extend far beyond a strictly biblical framework. His work presents religion as part of a larger story of hidden, ancient, and often overlooked cultural forces, rather than as the whole explanation for civilization. And yes, I found myself disagreeing with Dave on a few points within his talk with Sacha Stone. But since I agree that we should “do away with dogma” in general, I do believe the person of Christ Jesus walked the earth 2,000 years ago and performed every miracle as recorded in the New Testament. I know some of you will agree with me and some will vehemently disagree. This post is mostly for those who disagree, which is why I titled it “Exploring The Last Deception.” I attempt to keep an open mind though, as that’s what I teach/share in Integrating the Spirals.

Dave’s main ideas

  • Dave treats the Bible as historically influential in law, finance, morality, and cultural development, especially in Western societies.
  • He questions why the Bible has had such a central role and uses that question as a starting point for broader historical inquiry.
  • He argues that the real human story is “way more ancient” than a book about religion or God, suggesting that religion is only one layer of a much larger narrative.
  • His language implies skepticism toward inherited religious explanations and a desire to move “beyond the biblical” toward deeper or forgotten origins.

Comparatively speaking

Dave’s writing seems exploratory, mystical, and revisionist rather than devotional or doctrinal. It is less about defending a tradition and more about reinterpreting religious history as part of a hidden framework of human development.

While I agree that the Bible has influenced our laws, financially, morally, and culturally I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. Unless of course, we do not want to be beholden to a “rule of law” and want to be sovereign individuals. But then, as sovereign individuals, who holds us accountable? Who guides our morality? And who punishes those evil doers, such as the murderers, rapists, pedofiles, etc.?

I’ll add this for your consideration, it’s part of what I’ve learned from the little pamphlet by E. Raymond Capt, “Abrahamic Covenant” that states, “Going back to the establishment of the first colonies, we find that in 1606, King James I of England, who issued the first Charter, began with these words: “We greatly commending, and graciously accepting of, their desires for the furtherance of so noble a work, which may be the providence of Almighty God, hereafter tend to the glory of His Divine Majesty, in propagating the Christian religion to such people as yet live in darkness and miserable ignorance of the true knowledge and worship of God.” And subsequent Charters in 1609 and 1611 contain the same religious reference. Pilgrim fathers who risked their lives and limbs to cross the sea did so “for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith.”

Now, Dave’s points seem to say that our Christian faith, and those of these early American pilgrims had been overtaken or hijacked by ethereal parties for their own intended purposes, as so to deceive us from the true Light of Christ. And perhaps that could be true, but to what end I ask? What might their goal be?

Continuing a bit more from Capt’s pamphlet, “In 1620, the Pilgrims, in their tiny boat the Mayflower, crossed the broad Atlantic to accomplish the noble words expressed in their now famous compact: “Having undertaken for the glory of God, and the advancement of the Christian faith, and the honor of king and country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia.”

Spiral thought: A lot seemed to be going on in the early 1600s! Consider this: The Apocrypha (14 books of the Bible) 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. Curious, like I am, about what these 14 books were and what’s in them? Stay tuned for my next post!

The Last Deception in one sentence

Emery’s writing on religion reframes the Bible as an important historical force, but not the final explanation for human history, which he believes is much older, broader, and more mysterious.

The main thesis of The Last Deception is that the Bible predicts a final, end-times deception in which Satan counterfeits God’s work and leads people away from truth before Christ’s return. And I find that interesting since Dave told Sacha that he didn’t believe in a specific person named, Christ Jesus. Unless in his book he’s referring to the return of the Christ Consciousness (and while I allow room for that, it seems illogical to me to believe in THAT yet not believe in the son of Almighty God in the personage of a man named, Christ Jesus (remember, ‘Christ’ is a title).

The piece frames this deception as more than ordinary false teaching: it is a climactic spiritual delusion tied to the “lawless one,” the restraining of evil, and the role of Satan in the last days. It presents the coming deception as a counterfeit of divine indwelling and a warning that people can be persuaded into accepting falsehood as truth.

Dave’s central message seems to be: the end of history will feature a powerful, spiritually dangerous lie, and believers need to recognize it before it takes hold. Thus, The Lazarus Initiative’s Symposium 55, held my attention through the discussion of The Last Deception: The Collapse Of The Abrahamic Spell between Sacha Stone and special guest, Dave Emery. But I will need to sit with the information for a while, and get through some other books before I delve further.

Perhaps, I am content on this Good Friday, in my current knowledge and belief system, guided by my forefathers who crossed the vast Atlantic, and the steadfastness of our American founding fathers who framed our Constitution. If only the people who now hold the power of our government would align with that and work within its framework, not against it.

While we may have been, and may continue to be deceived by our politicians, so-called leaders within the Epstein class, the powers that be, belief systems, books, creeds, dogmas and even unseen forces, one truth remains clear (at least to me), Omniscience God always prevails. May you all be blessed this Easter by remembering that our Lord, Christ Jesus of Nazareth is an eternal living being and loves each of us more than we can currently comprehend.

OM. Namaste. Amen.

I’m 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. And to question EVERYTHING!

Yours in consciousness-expansion as we evolve and revolve during our mystical awakening. All while doing-my-egoless-best, to take you on a limitless, spiraling thought ride to better health, through doing more with ease, to help us sustain the JOY in our lives! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)

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!

Integrating the Spirals – JIGGLE WIGGLE

FYI: I recently rebranded JIGGLE BUTT to JIGGLE WIGGLE per one of my followers comment! And hope to be dancing again soon. Yes, I’m still recovering from a pinched nerve in my shoulder (sub scapula), sciatica, and a foot issue–which may be related to the sciatica!

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!

‘Thrive in 25’ – Book Review: “Ink & Fire: Verses That Burn the Soul”

I am grateful for fellow author and journalist/blogger, John Neff, author of Ink & Fire: Verses That Burn the Soul. Ink & Fire is a brilliant and engaging book of poetry that keeps one turning the pages easily! John used thought-provoking words to play with here that invoke strength and power. Yet, many of the verses lift and lighten. Ink & Fire sears us down deep!

Echoes of the Dreamverse

“Ancient Voices” Available Now!

December 23rd – I was blinded

It’s December 23rd, 2024; We have a sizzlin’ hot rock song for ALL today! I was blinded is another FANTASTIC song sung by the ragin’ Adam Cunningham! I’ve told you before, Adam shares so much SOUL in his voice. He amazes us! This song should definitely be a HIT! Pro mix, radio-ready productions are just what the Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN is known for:  https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com

This is the three-hundred-fifty-eighth new music post for 2024! The end of the year is near! And I’m rolling out some new things on Jan. 1st, 2025 to see if I can encourage MORE communication between us ALL and more camaraderie. I’d love to begin meeting on group Zoom calls, but I know most of us have limited space in which to do so, which is one reason we blog. We can read, listen to, or watch blog posts at our leisure and private moments. And that’s a very cool thing.

I was blinded. Music, lyrics, and video by Richard Murrey

We had a fantastic Christmas celebration yesterday!

Our first Christmas celebration did not disappoint! We had a great time watching our three granddaughters open many wrapped boxes with eager anticipation erupting in paper flying about the living room. And every gift was very appreciated, which is always the best! We ate lots of delicious food! Everything was yummy! I grabbed one photo from my daughter’s Facebook post, because I didn’t even bring my camera over to their house. I opted to stay fully present and engaged in every moment! We all chowed down and then the girls opened their presents. The adults opened gifts last. We received new thick and comfy long robes (we didn’t have any before, so these were an aWEsOMe gift from Marie and son-in-law, Mike)! And we received Hickory Farms meat and cheese tray with cutting board and cheese knife, from Mike’s mom and husband, which was totally unexpected! (Isn’t that cool?)

The bourbon balls I made are bottom left, and fruit cake soaked in Irish whisky is next to that in the white bowl. The holiday bacon is harder to see, it’s in my teal painted stoneware bowl in the left picture top right corner, and I love that my son-in-law’s hand is in the photo! Ha! Our eldest granddaughter is wearing the ‘let it snow’ t-shirt. We also contributed a tin of fancy cookies from Europe. My daughter, Marie, made a delicious spinach dip in a bread bowl and son-in-law made the chocolate chip cookies. YUM! We had mini corn dogs (I’d never had those before, tater tots, and lots of meat, cheese, and crackers. Marie put this whole spread together–she’s an amazing organizer! –Photos from Marie Lemire.

And then, we rested

Meme: “You cannot save anyone. You can be present with them, offer your groundedness, your sanity, your peace. You can even share your path with them, offer your perspective. But you cannot take away their pain. You cannot walk their patch for them. You cannot give answers that are right for them, or even answers they can digest right now. They will have to find their own answers. –Jeff Foster (Book: The Way of Rest)

Next year, I’ll be reading…

New ‘old’ book: Worlds in Collision by Immanuel Velikovsky. Have you read this book? (Let me know in the comments.) This book came highly recommended by Alex Lipton during our monthly Dr. Bruce Lipton community Zoom call on Saturday. I hope some of the folks in the chat pictured here don’t mind me sharing their names! (Yes, I usually get permission.) I wanted you to see WHAT we were chatting about though! My mention of my daily music blog post the other day and Newgrange and how one of our attendees has been inside the chamber at Newgrange SIX TIMES! –Sheila Murrey

Next year… two FREE new things!

Let’s start getting some folks signed up for my daily expanding consciousness emails. These will be short emails every day of insights and downloads to expand our consciousness. I get many insights from my time in meditation, usually now, while in the sauna and I feel these need to be shared. As well, some of the information is not for public blog publication. See my email in the image and use that to let me know if you want to join.

As well, I will setup a monthly Zoom call, perhaps the second Monday or Thursday of the month so we can further our discussions. Music, ancient and sacred sites, crystals, whatever you want to discuss further! Also, let me know the best time of the day we can do this based on your timezone. I am on NY time, Eastern time zone in the USA. Your reward for reading this far and signing up early is that you will always be in the group for FREE! Forever, no matter if I ever start charging for it in the future (as I may have to charge something in the future if the group grows beyond whatever number of callers are allowed on each Zoom call–currently I think that’s 100 attendees).

Screen capture of my file to collect email addresses specific for sending out daily email messages! Join my 2025 email list for a daily expanding consciousness thought of the day by emailing me at sheila(dot)murrey(at)gmail.com – see the way it’s written in the image. — Sheila Murrey
