There are days when you look at the continuing turmoil, war and violence on Planet Earth and you think to yourself, “Please, beam me up Scotty!” There’s got to be a more peaceful and loving planet in the universe with which to do our soul work. However challenging Earth may be in navigating one’s spiritual growth, there are times you will find yourself feeling overwhelmed by the obstacles and wondering at the alternatives.
Being human, I’ve had such days. Haven’t we all? I often meditate on it to get some answers or insight. On one recent contemplation, I received the clear message that I could “timeline jump.” The term sounded familiar, but I wasn’t clear on the particulars of what it entails or how it works. It was time for a little Google research on the subject.
Some interesting stuff came up. It appears that whenever there is an increase in chaotic events, there is a convergence of multiple timelines. As the Quantum world already knows—time in space are non-linear. The past, present and future can be happening simultaneously on different timelines. Where scientists recently confirmed their suspicion that multi-universes can exist simultaneously, it’s not such a great quantum leap to realize that so can timelines–and new ones are being created all the time.
For the last few decades, many of those who could foresee into the future, saw only a blank wall after the year 2012. Because of this, prophets, seers, psychics, even military remote viewers, began to believe it must herald the end of the world or some doomsday event. The Mayan Calendar seemed to support this assumption with its 2012 prophesies. But then something interesting happened. Towards the end of 2010 and beginning of 2011, before we could even see how the prophesies of 2012 might play out, some of those same seers started to see future events again. The timeline wall was suddenly gone. Poof!
This is where the concept/theory of timeline jumping comes into question. Was there a convergence of multiple timelines at that point and many of us automatically timeline jumped into a more hopeful alternative world we had created for ourselves, leaving the old timeline behind where perhaps there was some type of doomsday event? Maybe as a human collective, we raised our consciousness sufficiently enough to make that vibrational ascension-like transition or timeline jump. If so, I would like to think we are getting better at it, practicing until it becomes a conscious effortless process.
So how does one consciously timeline jump–as an individual–from a less disastrous timeline to one that has greater positivity and promise? Author, Tom Kenyon suggests that five fundamental principles of intentionality are involved:
1) You identify the timeline you wish to move into. (A good example is a timeline where there is no more war and humans can live in peace.)
2) You shift your vibrational state to match the timeline. (This, of course, entails a transcendence of the fear of jumping into the unknown.)
3) You lock in the vibrational state so it does not waver. (You practice feeling loving kindness and gratitude for being in this new timeline.)
4) You take an action that is an expression of the new timeline. (How about get rid of any weapons you might possess? A peaceful more loving world wouldn’t need such items.)
5) Persevere despite evidence to the contrary.
I love to experiment, so I gave the process a shot to see what would happen if I tried to move into a more peaceful timeline. I practiced loving gratitude and appreciation for those in my life causing conflict and saw loving cooperation between all parties. Then I decided to send letters of gratitude and appreciation to those either creating the obstacles or those somehow involved in the conflict. Just to clarify–this was not a “thank you for creating my obstacles” type letter, but instead a letter thanking them for all they had done, or were doing, that was helpful and positive.
I felt an immediate shifting after doing this simple exercise—lighter, more optimistic and definitely more hopeful. I’m still working on step #5 – perseverance, which seems like a tough one. I’m not delusional. I realize the art of timeline jumping doesn’t necessarily happen overnight, but one has to start somewhere. It’s baby steps. I also realize that as paradoxical as it may seem it is quite possible to live a separate timeline, having a different experience of life than those around you. You can be in a total loving kindness and bliss place, and they may seem to be in utter turmoil.
Today I got a response back from one of those gratitude letters I sent and learned it had really made their day and they, in turn, were very appreciative. Maybe they can timeline jump with me. I’ll be sure to keep you posted on my progress.

Waking Illusion or Dream Reality
/by Kathy J. FortiThis question always brings to mind a 9-year old client I once treated for seizure disorder. Audra developed nocturnal seizures after a bad vaccination reaction when she was five. At school she was in special education classes for learning disabilities. Her behavior was often slow and lethargic–almost like someone going through life sleepwalking. The epileptic seizures didn’t happen every night and rarely ever happened during the daytime, but the damage had taken its toll in all aspects of her life due to her lack of energy. Her mother brought her into my office for neurofeedback brainwave training to help reduce and regulate her daughter’s sleep onset seizures, which were causing a sleep disorder.
While hooked up to an EEG monitor, Audra’s frontal lobe (the executive function of the brain) displayed high amplitude slow wave theta/delta activity. This is the type of activity our brain makes when drifting off to sleep or in an altered state of consciousness. Audra had an abundance of this activity. Consequently, I had to adjust visual and auditory Neurofeedback training rewards to make it easier for her or frustration would quickly set in and she would give up. It was usually a struggle.
Then one day, while Audra was doing a training session, I suddenly heard faster beeps signaling she was racking up points and doing outstanding. I glanced over at Audra and she was sound asleep in her chair. I looked at the EEG monitor and saw she was making consistent wide-awake beta activity without even trying. I’d never seen this pattern before with her and she was clearly not in the throes of a seizure. Her closed eyelids showed no indication of rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep, either. I was perplexed. Most people show faster beta activity while awake, and the slow theta/delta activity while sleeping. Audra was just the opposite. I’d never seen anything like it. Intuition kicked in and I knew I was witnessing an anomaly.
I had the clear thought at the time, however unproven, that Audra’s real waking world might very well be what we call the sleep state. Then when she transitioned upon waking, her brain would slip into what looked like an abnormal dream-like state. I tried to get her to talk about her “dream” experiences while sleeping, but she wouldn’t open up. It was if she had a secret she was not going to share.
Which comes back to the point–what do we understand about reality anyway? Is a dream/wake reversal state even possible? Perhaps. Later, I would learn from researchers studying Alzheimer’s disease, that these patients seem to be able to transverse both dimensional worlds as they deteriorate and become more communicatively unreachable. Some patients were able to later reveal how the other world seemed more real at times than this world. Consequently, they began spending more time in this other world until the body’s life energies eventually withdrew and they exited this plane. This is fascinating stuff.
The closest you can get to understanding this duo-dimensional world is through the practice of lucid dreaming—knowing you’re dreaming while in a dream state. If you’ve ever experienced a lucid dream, then you can probably attest to how real that other world can feel. The trick to staying in a lucid state is to not let yourself get too emotional (i.e. excitement, laughing, fear, etc.) or it will wake you right up. I once tried opening a refrigerator in a lucid dream to see if I could eat veggies while in that state. The second I put the dream carrot in my mouth, I woke right up. It’s hard to master. But perhaps for some it’s not at all. Which leads us right back to where we started—what is the true nature of reality?

Living an Examined Life – The Hieroglyph of the Human Soul
/by Kathy J. FortiMan most often searches for life’s answers when he is confronted with his own mortality. But for Leigh, he found that by examining man’s history he could get a glimpse into his future. He explains his symbolic art like an ancient philosopher. And like a wise sage, his students hear a lecture that, ultimately, will prompt their own self-examination. He is a brilliant narrator and it’s no coincidence he had a long and profitable acting career. Every inch of ceiling, floors, walls, and bookshelves are alive with his murals and paintings. Even his sofa cushions are made out of canvas and display his creative mind at work. Flip over the cushions, and they tell a different narrative. Even what is hidden has underlying meaning. Everything in his library is a metaphorical visualization.
Throughout this experience, one feels an affinity with divine creation—a sense of oneness. Whenever I listen to Leigh, I see the ancient alchemist at work, weaving his magic into symbols that will forever awaken and transform us towards a deeper understanding.
Enjoy it for yourself. Follow Leigh’s story and art by taking a short video tour through the Hieroglyph of the Human Soul (5:02). CLICK HERE

Random Acts of Forgiveness
/by Kathy J. FortiSometimes such events can be somewhat lop-sided. One side may want to hold onto their anger for years—plotting revenge and perhaps even ways to destroy the other party. A scenario such as this usually has karmic undertones, and is really a joint agreement by both parties coming into this life to help each other learn to forgive and let go. But what if you’re willing to forgive and move on, but they’re not?
I’ve experienced one of those scenarios. The kind that costs you time, frustration, and a lot of money as you deal with their need to win knowing quite clearly that no one ever comes out a clear winner in such cases. What if forgiveness is just not enough?
In my case, I was given extra insight through a dream. In the dream I saw myself in a restaurant approaching a table where the other party was eating dinner with two strangers dressed in dark suits (probably lawyers). We were both surprised to see each other, and there was no animosity. I sat down and listened to her tell me about what she had accomplished in this lifetime so far and what she was still working on. We seemed to be just two friendly souls comparing progress notes. At one point, she sadly told me, “But my father still asks me: Are you pretty enough? Have you made enough money? Are you keeping your figure?” In her eyes, nothing she had accomplished meant anything because she still could not gain her father’s sought after approval.
I felt a flooding of compassion and love for her. She was clearly hurting and dealing with soul issues of self-worth. I felt her pain and it was deep. I reached out my arms to her in the dream, embraced her, and said “I am so sorry”. My sorrow came from the deep realization that our altercation was just another parental-like dismissal for her, cementing her lack of self-worth. I suddenly had complete understanding of the situation and the parts we had both played. There is so much going on behind the scenes on so many different levels, and my higher guidance was showing me the true core issue. My dismissive actions had added to her feelings of worthlessness. I was sorry for my part and with it I experienced a deep release as I also forgave myself. I knew we had completed our work together and I was at peace.

May I Be Frank – An Amazing Transformation
/by Kathy J. FortiThe saying, “You are what you eat” has Frank’s name written right next to it. Café Gratitude, an organic vegan restaurant in San Francisco, decided to make Frank their 42-day “clean up” project. They fed him three meals a day of cleansing raw vegan food. They added in three helpful coaches from the restaurant for support, and together they set up Frank’s regimen plan. Frank admits quite honestly that he had no idea what he was getting himself into when he agreed to the project. But he liked Cafe Gratitude’s owner and staff, and so he signed on. And so the journey began.
His progress is documented in the film May I Be Frank and it’s definitely worth watching. Let me say that this is no whitewashed documentary. It’s both gritty and brutally honest as Frank comes to terms with his personal demons. Yet, at the same time it is hilarious and charming (much like Frank). Viewers will get an eye-popping look into Frank’s colonic sessions and doctor’s visits. (He may have missed his calling as a stand up comic.) You’ll see him embroiled in altercations with his ex-wife, who he has a love/hate relationship with, as he comes to heal painful wounds and do some personal soul searching. It’s not an easy ride for Frank, but it is an endearing one as he learns to start loving himself. Frank calls his documentary “a film about sex, drugs, and…” And that description pretty much sums it up. You will be rooting for him, you will be groaning along with him, but in the end you will have witnessed the triumph of the human spirit.
I had to ask Frank how a 54 year old drug addict had found his way inside a vegan restaurant in the first place. His response was just as funny. “In AA they’re always talking about Gratitude. I figured Café Gratitude was a place for recovering addicts to hang out.” Call it Divine Intervention at work. Frank’s journey has now become a mission to help others–which is what it’s really all about in the end. You go, Frank! May I Be Frank movie

Are We Living in a Multi-Universe?
/by Kathy J. FortiThe Blogspot for Spirituality, Consciousness, Healing & More…
Cosmologists studying a map of the universe, from data gathered by the Planck spacecraft, have concluded that it shows anomalies that can only have been caused by the gravitational pull of other universes. These gravitational waves point to the existence of mult-universes existing in parallel conjunction with ours. First revealed by physicist Alan Guth in 1979, the presence of gravitational waves was confirmed by radio astronomers this year who stated that the foundation of the Big Bang supports Guth’s theory of “cosmic inflation”. Inflation theory predicts that ours is just one of countless universes to emerge from the same primordial vacuum. While we currently have no way of seeing these other universes, predictions of their existence have recently been corroborated by astrophysical measurements. They are out there. And it would be foolish to think we are all alone, or the only form of human life, in this great big multi-universe.
Guth is presently the Victor Weisskopf Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his findings would also support the concept that we do indeed live in a fractal universe as well. Universes within universes, holographic in nature, very much alike, but with only slight differences.
It’s an expansive thought that gives you much to ponder. Does that mean there might be a parallel Earth, just like ours, in another universe? Or quite possibly each of us having a parallel life? If so, hopefully it is more peaceful Earth. An Earth which has learned to avoid wars, as well as killing its own for power. In other words, a more evolved Earth.
About 25 years ago I had a somewhat unusual nitrous oxide experience while having a root canal done at my dentist. Under the influence of gas, I saw the human race existing, like billions of cells, inside a giant human body that made up our universe. We had no idea we were inside this large body but we were all working together to keep it alive and functioning as we accomplished our work. And this large body was a small organism inside an even larger body. It was a pretty trippy dental visit, but it gets you to thinking about collective consciousness and that there has to be some greater intelligence at work.

ONENESS FOR ALL
/by Kathy J. FortiI recently got to experience this in a rather profound sense. I had just attended a week of intense meditation work in Arizona, and as I was driving home I felt a shift. I looked out my driver window at all the hundreds of cars speeding along to their unknown destinations and I felt an overwhelming oneness with the drivers and passengers in each and every vehicle. This is not something most Los Angelenos can ever admit too. It is a battleground every day on our city’s congested freeways. But on that particular day (due to all the meditation, I’m sure) I became aware that every car was filled with other “Kathys”. There was Kathy in one car experiencing being in the body of a male (a rather buff one, I might add); there was Kathy in that Prius driving like a jerk trying to get ahead of everyone else; there was Kathy in that big semi-trailer looking bored and extremely tired and unhappy. Wow, I thought! This was quite a new perspective. Suddenly, I had greater compassion and understanding for all those other Kathys. They were me in all my multi-facets navigating this thing called “life”.
It didn’t end there. I stopped off to buy water and came upon a man, dressed as a beggar, both homeless and penniless, needing food. Better give Kathy some money, I thought–so I did. With this sense of Oneness there was no way I could be dismissive or over-reactive to what my fellow man ever did. Every one of them was me experiencing life in its many forms. We are in this together. It was very enlightening. While that intense sense of Oneness has slightly faded, I am still aware of this inter-connectedness we all share. I practice it in crowds to see how all my other parts are doing. Like neurons making connections at rapid speed, we are a human internet—a Global Brain. We are ONE.

Overcoming “Friday the 13th” Fears
/by Kathy J. FortiYears ago, while still practicing as a clinical psychologist, I had a client come in on Friday the 13th and wish me a happy “Triskaidekaphobia”. I had never heard the word before. They hadn’t covered this particular phobia in graduate school—“fear of the number 13”. So the irony of all this is that I am choosing to face my fear of writing this blog on the 13th. There are just no coincidences in life.
Which got me to wondering why so many people universally avoid the number 13? Even buildings tend to eliminate the 13th floor on elevator banks and call it the 14th instead. Why are we so superstitious about this one simple number? Since numbers totally fascinated me after my near-death experience, I decided to look into the matter further.
The number 13 is actually what the ancients refer to as a “Karmic” number. It symbolizes the forces of upheaval leading to revealing new ground. In other words, CHANGE. Change in general is a primary fear for every man. It encompasses the unknown. It puts us through tests and trials as we strive for greater spiritual consciousness.
Let’s look at the number 13 by breaking it down. The number 1 is associated with new beginnings. The number 3 is a sacred number (in my opinion) and symbolizes communication, self-expression, creativity, expansion, growth and manifestation. You put 1 and 3 together and you have great promise. You have God-given blessings in disguise. Out of one’s fear can come liberation and so today I am facing my fear of blogging. And you know what—this entry just flowed out of me and I actually enjoyed it! www.trinfinity8.com
