Warding 101
Circles
The most simple form of Ward is the Circle, an adjustable energetic barrier that filters both energy coming into or going out of a selected area. For many practical purposes, Casting a Circle is all that is necessary when the Circle is defined with a few clear intentions (my most highly recommended of which would be to create the circle by bringing it “down” from the Eternal Source or “up” from the Eternal Source). In some cases, however, a Circle isn’t as effective, especially when the Circle itself is used as a Portal or Gateway, or when the Circle needs to be cast upon an a permeable surface or opening that other things need to pass through.
Gates
Circles initially form a horizontal or vertical barrier that acts like a tunnel (or cylinder), and as described in my section on Casting Circles, can also be rotated to form spheres. Many times, it is useful to set up “Gates” within a tunnel or cylindrical Circle, like membranes that modify the flow of energy moving through the Circle’s passage. For example, you could set up a vertical Circle that extends down a hallway, and set up three different Gates, each of which serve a different function. One might purify and clear Physical Energy, the next might be focused on Emotional Energy Fields, and the third on Mental Fields. If your Circle is placed in a doorway or other threshold, you could create a Gate with multiple layers that encompassed the Wards you would like to place upon that threshold.
So what is a Gate, and how do you create one? Simply put, a Gate is usually a Sigil or Geometric Shape that has a special meaning or magical property that is placed upon a two-dimensional surface plane of Energy. This surface plane or membrane is then extended to fill a Circle, like the head of a drum, or the cap on a cylinder. An example would be the Pentagram, which could be used to create all sorts of basic or advanced Physical effects within the Gate, and is also excellent in its “Pure White” form as a Physical Protection Ward.
Containers
When creating a Ward that is not intended to go inside a Circle, it is still important to set the “Container” for the Ward’s effects with you consciousness previous to casting. For example, if you wanted to cast a Protective Ward upon a special crystal, you should designate the area around that crystal in which the Ward will take effect. This might be that the Physical repulsion effects of someone reaching for the crystal are set to activate within a one-foot sphere around the crystal, or may be set directly into the surface of the crystal itself, so that holding it may be very uncomfortable for anyone other that the owner or a designated recipient. Containers can be set to perform in any size or shape, but be conscious of what objects may be already within the Container you specify, as they may have an effect on the Ward, especially if they have counteractive properties to the object you are protecting!
Timing
A specific time can be set for a Ward to dissipate, or if you would like it to remain until dispelled (remember to set conditions for the dispel!) or as long as possible, it can be “Tied Off” by connecting it directly to a Source Stream of Energy. Setting the timing for dissipation is fairly easy, as long as you can specify the time in a way that is relative to the object or Ward directly, and not just an arbitrary idea of time like “2:00pm on Wednesday.” What Wednesday? When is 2:00pm? What energy happens at this time that could possibly signal the dissipation of the Ward?
If there is a clock in the room, you can connect the Ward to a certain position on the clock (and chimes work great), but then you need another reference thought for the Day, like a Calendar or Synchronometer. Traditionally, Moon Cycles have been used, as they are always relative to any object on Earth, and in many areas of the Planet the Seasons can also act as a very general “Universal Timing Agent.” If you know your Earth Cycles well, you can set the position of the Sun or Moon, a certain number of Sun or Moon Cycles, or even the exact positions of Planets and Stars for very specific Time Conditions. If not, you can always use a Clock and a Calendar, as long as they (or your own awareness of the timing) will remain active upon the Ward.
Process
The basic steps for casting a successful Ward are:
1. Determine the properties of the Ward and select appropriate Sigils, Geometries, Colors, etc to establish and tune the Energy.
2. Determine the Container or Circle the Ward will be placed within.
3. Decide if you need one or more Gates in the Ward and what the properties of each will be.
4. Connect with Source, focus on creating the Container or Circle.
5. Envision your selected Sigils and Energies forming Gates, or filling the Container. Usually you want one large “Major” Sigil, even if it contains “Minor” Sigils that extends in size right to the boundary of your Circle or Container.
6. If necessary, make a timing imprint by sending a visualization of your specific dissipation time into the field, and seeing the Ward unraveling or dissolving in your mind’s eye under that Moon or other Time Condition.
7. Envision the Ward in its full effect, using any possible scenarios that may play out when it is active to reinforce its strength and adaptability,
8. If desired, call in an Eternal Stream of Energy from the Source and connect it into the top of the Circle or Container, then bring another one up from the Core of the Earth and connect it into the bottom to allow the Ward to be self-sustaining.
9. Fill it with Gratitude for the Source for activation of the Ward, and disengage from the Casting.
The Force: Dark & Light, Yin & Yang
It was proposed to me recently that the Light Side of the Force seems to be more Yin in nature, while the Dark Side is more Yang. While one side might appear more passive and internal, and the other more active and external, Yin and Yang are fundamental Principles of the Force, and there is no movement of the Force itself without each of them intertwined in some way.
The fundamental difference between the Way that the Sith use the Force versus the Jedi actually has very little to do with “dark” and “light,” those are simply linguistic metaphors which are unfortunately misused more often than not. The difference is actually more about the Karma involved, and the nature of the dynamics of Energy that unfold when one acts out of Anger or Hate, versus when one acts out of Love, Truth, or Honor.
In short, Anger is like a poorly controlled fire: it burns you, can spread chaotically, and in terms of transformation, it requires suffering on all sides. Truth on the other hand is like a laser: it shines exactly where it is needed, maintains self-integrity, and can also be painful in transformation, but only for a moment before a healing naturally happens.
The pain and self-destructive properties of Anger and Fear are addictive, as they seem to offer short term gratification while slowly rotting away the integrity of the Self over time. For those who have taken the path of the Dark Side, one of the only allures is tricking others into doing so in order to gain more power and watch others suffer, simply to relieve their own struggle for a time.
When aligned with the True Way of the Force, one understands these principles of creation and destruction. Learning to balance the desires of the ego and temper the need for short term satisfaction, one aligns more with the flow of Sacred Purpose, which gently and surely enables and empowers the Self to improve on All Levels.
You need not understand, as long as you are understanding.”
At Last, a Living Stream
Welcome to the live thought streams of Adam Apollo. These waters will flow with current inspirations, moments of satori, and mobile telepathic meanderings. Thank you all for your patience and interest in my Sacred Work.
Hear ye! Fall not into the folly of focus on that tempting tally of could should and would, lest thy mind find it hath hailed the wandering wind and sailed astray... Rather, trust in thy moment's mystery, heretofore procuring provisions plentiful in perfection, and thy Heart led mind shall find the Way.”
Night of Prophecy
…2:22am…
As Scorpio rises, and the Ancient sign of the Dragon comes forth, Pluto enters Capricorn for the first time in over 200 years. Pluto, Hades, keeper of the Gates of Death and Rebirth, calls for the Structures that have both supported and bound the people of the Earth to fall, and calls forth a new state of Wisdom from the Ashes…a Phoenix to match the Dragon…
Now, in this same Moment, a Great Trine shines forth: the Moon in Libra suddenly balancing our deep emotional flow, and Mars in Gemini igniting our dedication to Truth…both are empowering and strengthening the energy of a massive Conjunction in Aquarius… Mercury, Speaker of the Stars; Neptune, Lord of the Oceans of Love; Chiron, Zen Master of the Key…they together forge an alliance of powerful Communication of our Deepest Awareness, with the Patience and Wisdom of an old Teacher. They call forth Visions of the World to Be in the Aquarian Age, and as the Phoenix and Dragon meet, we must let fall our fear of the death of the old ways…
The Sun trails this Trinity, steadily charting the course of our Path ahead through Aquarius. It will cross both Chiron and Neptune in the next Two weeks, bringing a “solar flare” of the consciousness they hold to the Earth, along with the energies connected to them. Here we may see the deep spiritual visions of the Aquarian Age unveiled…for a time…
Yet this is not all that unfolds on this Sacred Night… Pluto is not alone in his crossing into Capricorn, but slips closer to Venus, whose brilliant beauty magnifies his light and force like a gravitational lens…or one of Love…depending on your interpretation of Gravity. She calls for his transformational power to come through the Goddess, calling for even young women to take on the charge of Capricorn’s banner, that of the Wise Elder. To do this, they must go deep within, to the Cave of the Self, and emerge victorious from the Ancient Mirror.
They are not alone, however, as Venus has another companion… Jupiter rests to her other side, guiding the way like a Beacon of Light…of Faith. To follow this guidance, she, and all women who would step into their True Nature, must face their Fathers… Whether Sinful or Saintly, whether Physical or Astral, whether of Blood or Belief, this fatherly Guide holds the key to Ceres, the embodiment of the Grain Goddess, and the Earth Healer who resides in Taurus. She can bring her abundance to this family, and deep knowledge of the Living Force of Earth, if the brilliance of Jupiter’s Faith can guide the way.
Even Saturn, retrograde in Virgo, offers his aid to this Family in a triple Trine, clearly instructing the need for careful steps and responsible choices to be made by Lady and Father alike. He also is shining with the reflection of Uranus in Pisces, calling forth quick and potent awakenings of our Soul’s Past and Path through Pluto…but to be applied with Perfect Precision.
Still, there are a couple undercurrents that challenge this delicate dance of dreams, as the Moon squares Jupiter and dampens our inner feeling of Faith when we are called to apply it. Like a Mother who offers balance (Libra) and caution to the Father who would lead the way, the Moon does not block the path, but reminds Venus and the awakening Goddesses that there are Great Wheels turning, even outside their Initiation Process. The Keys of Spiritual Wisdom and Clear Channeling are at hand through the Chiron, Neptune, Mercury conjunction, and she calls for that recognition and the associated Soul transformations NOW.
From the other end of the sky, the Grain Goddess Ceres offers similar caution to those who would leap to the Aquarian Age now through the apparent Portal the Sun creates, and challenges even the Zen Master to look at the source of his strength and wisdom. As she squares them both, she asks, “Where is your Source? Is it in the Future? From the Past? From the Heavens? From the Earth?” As she aligns and Trines Jupiter, she would say, “It is from your Faith. The Faith in your Creation, and all that has Given Birth unto You.”
Look inside yourselves this night…this day… What do you have Faith in? What do you Trust? Can you recognize the changes happening inside you at this moment, even though there may yet be doubt as to where they might lead? Open your eyes and look around… at your family… your community… your lands… your Planet…
Watch carefully, and seek deeply.
How does Gaia fare? What is the State of the Union, or lack thereof? Where is the Path, your Path, and to what Future does it lead? Who would you call upon to help you get there? What aid do you already have that you have not accepted? In others? In yourself?
Remember that you are not alone…
The Universe conspires to aid you this night; the Stars wink and twinkle bright.
…3:33am…

Conjunction at Galactic Center
In case you didn’t know, today Pluto, Jupiter, Mercury, the New Moon, and the Sun are all conjunct (together) in the sky right around the location in Sagittarius that is the direction of our Galactic Center. It is a beautiful time for Rebirth, awakening of new Faith, clear Communication, deep Reflection, and alignment of Soul Purpose with our philosophies and adventures.
This morning, as the light is slowly emerging outside, I’m launching the first Phase of a Sacred Knowledge Library I’ve been building for a long time. It will be a continually expanding record of writings, art, experience, and knowledge. With your help, it will continue to grow, and I hope that you will join me in this co-creative process of sharing key information that can aid Humanity in this time of great transformation.
I’ve also created a Newsletter that I will be releasing with each site upgrade, but to receive it, you will have to either send me your e-mail address or subscribe directly from the website.
Thank you all for your Love and Support.
InJoy!

The Hero’s Journey
The truth is, one doesn’t become a Hero and simply retire one day. One doesn’t become Enlightened and take the day off. In fact, I have experienced Oneness to the point that time simply stopped, and I laughed and God laughed, and we started time back up again. You see, the Hero’s journey is the same as it always has been, it is only that so few actually have had the experience of becoming a Hero, and so the story often suffers greatly in the translation.
So how do you become a Hero? Well, it starts the moment you recognize that you ARE one. What made Achilles different from every other warrior? He knew that everything he did was Perfect. God can’t make a mistake, so how could ANYTHING he did be a mistake? This is the art of the Magi. This is the Faith of the Hero. The journey, dear Family, is to test yourself at every opportunity, forging your Trust in your fathomless capability.
Deja Vu: Resonance in Spacetime
You were there before.
If for a moment you let fall the judeo-christian idea of a terminal nature to the Soul’s experience on Earth, and even begin to consider the concept of having a continuous spirit body, it becomes quite apparent to many people that they would have very likely chosen to come back and be born into another body, even if it meant forgetting most or all of it while the new physical brain developed from new information…
…Even if you want to hold on to some of the judeo-christian terminology, just look at the relationships between the “fires of hell” and the “fires of rebirth” in many other cultures, or just look at all of the endless symbolism of fire. Transformation, death, birth, cleansing, clearing… One might guess that if you don’t get it right, maybe you’ve got to come back and try again. After all, Eternal and damnation are simply not words that functionally work together, since damnation is part of duality in this context. The only other context I know that is does work in is spelled like this: “Damn-Nation.” A useful term when referencing a military-industrial enslavement complex that has co-opted the governing body of a State.
The other aspects to understanding some of the more tricky deja vu experiences come from looking more closely at my statement:
You were there before.
To say that you “were there” suggests that you were in a certain state, not necessarily in a certain place. You may have been experiencing nearly the exact same state of body chemicals, mental processes, emotions, and physical sensations as you have experienced in another time.
“Before” is the other interesting word here. If we consider for a moment that all the brilliant physicists, cosmologist, astrophysicists, astronomers, and other scientists who have suggested that time is not linear may be right, “before” could simply be at any point before our current experience on any of many multidimensional cycles of time. This is to say that some experience you may have in the future “was” so powerful that it sent shockwaves through time, which reside in other certain key points in your timeline, one of which you just came across, giving you deja vu of a future moment in time.
I like to look at this experience on all levels as a “resonance.”
When you are in a pool of water, you can create a wave by pushing your hands forward. This wave doesn’t last long however, and quickly dies. However, if you wait until the wave comes back, and push it forward again just as it bounces off the wall behind you, it gets bigger. This is easy to experience in a bathtub, as a simple “rocking” of your body can soon have water sloshing out of the tub (and a lot of it when there are two of you in the tub).
The speed of your rocking is the resonant speed for the size of the bathtub, and it is slower and longer depending on the size of the container. Okay, minds out of the closet now people…you’re welcome to return in just a moment. Consider swinging on a swingset. The longer the ropes or chains, the more time you must wait between each “wave” or push, to go higher.
When deja vu occurs, you have just “pushed” at the right moment, in the right waters, raising the energy level of your experience and allowing the original “wave” to be experienced even stronger now.
When you consider that many of our experiences may very well be physically “vibrational” in nature, the actual resonance occuring is more like a symphony playing next to another symphony when the two songs they are playing suddenly come into harmony. Say that one symphony is playing your experiences, with different instruments for each of your senses, thoughts, and emotions.
This same symphony that is you was playing Mozart 400 years ago. In the midst of your current journey, the universe suddenly starts placing itself in just the right positions, and leading you through just the right pattern of similar situations, and suddenly…Mozart. But now, it’s not just the Mozart it was when you first felt it, its more somehow, like an echo in time…and everything is intensified, including the feeling of Mozart you have now.
As Tesla used to say, “Resonance is everything.”
I agree… It’s Deja Vu too.

3rd to 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th Dimensions Explained
A 3rd to 4th Dimensional shift can be looked at as a very specific Energetic transition in individuals from a Solar-Plexus centered awareness to a Heart centered awareness…Individual Mind to the Eternal Gateway…Transcending the Mind… This is the leap to the 4th Dimension as it is often described (and more often misinterpreted).
In a sense, this is simply an awakening of an awareness that accepts Being out of Time, or Being All Time. Such a shift is such a huge leap for some that it takes a long time to process and integrate all the ramifications of being able to send and receive information beyond the perceived limitations of space-time. This state is also the bridge point, where an individual suddenly realizes that they can experience themselves and another simultaneously. This is the gift of the Heart, to unite the Self and Other in a state of Union. On this Dimensional layer, this experience may not be understood, nor may its origin even be perceived, it is simply felt. This initiates a new cycle of unlocking the Throat, Third-Eye and Crown.
The Throat Center or Communication Center is about recognizing the True meaning of Communication. Our relationship to all existence unfolds through the Language of Consciousness, and when we learn this Language, we begin to discover perfect patterns inherent within every “conversation.” This is 5th Dimensional consciousness, recognition of Divine Will, and Communion with It. On this Dimensional layer, we begin to recognize that we are not only connected to Others in a very Physical sense through swimming in the pool of spacetime together, but that our actions ripple through these waters. We begin to recognize that our Voices resonate both inside of Time, and outside of the boundaries of Matter. Our ideas can be shared instantaneously, and our actions perceived physically, even by those who are thousands of miles away. We even begin to see how our actions in the distant past can affect us in the Present.
The Third Eye or Spiritual Center unfolds through our awareness of the Spiritual Vibration infusing all of the crystalline fabric of space-time. This awareness gives us a sense of the Song of Existence, and we suddenly Feel the flow of the Universe in its many permutations. This feeling allows us to directly relate to the Source through our own Emotional Vibration, and deepens our Trust or Faith in its Divine Love. This Dimensional layer opens our awareness to each Other’s vibration, and we begin to perceive the way that slight changes in our emotional field ripple through the fabric of consciousness. We begin to tune into the frequency changes of others, both in our local space and in distant places. We start to see ourselves constantly in communion, naked in this shared emotional space. This is a transition of great vulnerability and transparency, and is a powerful point of choice when one decides to either remain open, Honest, and transparent, or cloak themselves in shadow, trying to hide what is within them from others, and often from themselves.
Finally, the Crown or Singularity Center (as I often call it) aligns us with the complete state of Absolute Truth and Trust in everything in every Moment. This Trust goes beyond a feeling, or a confirmation externally, it is simply Known. This Knowing preceeds all feeling and manifestation, and continuously blooms further and further as we are willing to allow ourselves to dissolve in Divine Mind. On this Dimensional layer we begin to perceive everything in it perfect patterns. We notice the Divine speaking to us through signs, showing us our Eternal Destinies reflected in each and every thought, feeling, and physical experience that comes our way. All doubt that everything is perfect fades, and this knowing flows forth from us in the radiance of confidence, awakening the Core of our Solar Plexus. This is the space where all of our minds are in communion, and where all knowledge can be known.
In Truth, this is an awakening of 7th Dimensional or Celestial Consciousness, and all further Dimensional awakenings are actually facets of its Eternal Unfolding, and always relate to a higher-harmonic of one of the lower Dimensional centers. 8th Dimensional consciousness is simply a bridge between these experiences of awareness in the Past and Future. 9th Dimensional consciousness links the Past and Future back in to the Eternal Present, weaving every experience ever had into every experience being created. Eternal Self.
10th Dimensional consciousness once again bridges the Eternal Self with the Eternal Mystery of the Other, while 11th Dimensional awareness begins to identify and define that Mysterious Other into an actual Eternal Presence and Being. 12th Dimensional consciousness connects back to 6th, where interaction with that being is experienced in Time. 13th begins to Unify the experience in Time through Mental perception…and so on and so forth, cycling back through each of the basic principles activating multiple layers simultaneously.
This is a very simplified exploration, but I trust it weaves some of the principles to aid in understanding these transitions, and translating the often obscure definitions we may come across in our learning journey.

Inside Gravity, Into Light
I have been through yet another stage of a deep transition in myself, and am beginning to know even more clearly what my path ahead holds… My Birthday and the following days were full of potent pain and transformation, and I was truly disabled from work to discover a new approach to my action and organization. I’m still reeling from this, but gaining ground again today, and my head seems to finally have cleared from the fog and a piercing vise.
Part of the beauty, and mystery, of this challenge was that it was without any noticeable single trigger. I feel obvious links between reformatting my Digital Brain (computer), preparing my car for many repairs, reorganizing my data and that of many projects, discovering so many things of which I am ready to relinquish, unveiling the many movements I will be making in the near future, and clearing my body and mind of old stagnations… Sometimes pain is a great purifier, and helps to illuminate where release and balance are needed.
I’m quite sure that I had been so busy accelerating, getting faster and faster, that I began to burn Energy at an incredible rate and gained a huge amount of weight in return. This weight settled into my body, particularly my head, shoulders and back, and I found myself feeling like Atlas…but still trying to run faster and faster while carrying the world.
The greatest momentum exists when one ceases to accelerate, and takes full presence in inherent speed…that is to say, inherent stillness. I often teach in my workshops that as long as you accelerate, you warp space-time. This warping is stress, pressure, and tends to separate you from other relative positions and perspectives. I suggest that if we could move without acceleration, we would be able to travel faster than light, because we would have no resistance. In fact, we would simply step inside a Singularity, able to access any point in space-time. This has been softly resonating within me, and come back to haunt all my recent focus on “acceleration.”
Einstein taught us that acceleration is Gravity…they are indistinguishable… If you accumulate Gravity or acceleration, you gain mass, or weight. This is a miracle in itself, since it is this weight that keeps us in orbit around our great Sun, and keeps us in a spiraling dance with the brilliant Moon. Indeed, through Gravity we will eventually become physically one with all Stars in the Galaxy, through the supermassive Black Hole, or Singularity, at the Milky Way’s center…
I take this to mean that we use acceleration to gain “leverage,” or weight (Gravity) with those we want to partner (be in Orbit) with… We must be able to “get up to speed” with others, and this takes energy… Energy is needed to make more Mass, or Gravity… (E=MC^2) …and Energy becomes Mass through the Speed of Light… What does that mean?
If we want to increase our Energy and our Mass, we must do so by becoming deeply tuned to our Superluminal Selves…that part of us that is already at the Speed of Light, in perfect stillness in space and time, at every opportunity. When we bring this Radiant Stillness into our matter, our mass, our bodies, we generate incredible amounts of Energy. Indeed, if the greatest stillness is a Singularity (or a Black Hole), notice how TRILLIONS of stars and star-systems gather in a perfect dance when such a Center is present.
The Key is keeping focus in the Stillness, because it is from this “open space” that we determine how much Mass, or how much Energy we embody. We can easily convert Energy to Gravity to create leverage, then change the weight generated back to Energy in a single Breath… In fact, I think this is the whole purpose of Breathing…
I did not mean for this to become a physics lesson, or even a meta-physical one, but it seems we all learn when we just let go and let Flow. I do mean this to be a Prayer. For the Singularity within All, and the Infinite Energy within each of you. This is where we must reside, in the Center of the Merry-Go-Round…otherwise we will feel the G-Force of acceleration and get FLUNG off the Ride. So…let’s get further inside, and drive this Spinning Space-Ship from the CORE of our Sacred Ore, recognizing our greatest strengths and wealth, and start Giving THAT to each other.
…And every once in a while, when you’re feeling too much Mass, too much Gravity…just stop. Get still. Quiet everything. Close your eyes. Breathe…
Dissolve all that Mass in your Liquid Light, and feel it bloom into Energy.
Aloha Ke Akua
Blessed Be
