* JOIN MILLIONS TO CREATE WORLD PEACE: Fire The Grid On July 17th 2007 At 11:11 GMT!

“I am being given a way for us all to participate in a healing of mother earth, and a launching of the human race into a time of health, peace and positive change. But, for this to happen, you will need to sit in meditation for just one hour of your life.”

THIS WEEK’S DISH:

How To Perform A Miracle And Fire The Grid

THE GARDEN OF THE GODS.
In 2005, we visited beautiful Garden Of The Gods in Shawnee National Forest, guided by our friend Tom (who took this photo). This trip to Southern Illinois changed our lives and helped open many doorways, including inspiring us to one day create our own garden.

FIRE THE GRID, be defined. That’s what potentially millions of people will do on Tuesday, July 17, 2007 at 11:11 A.M. Greenwich Mean Time (6:11 A.M. Central Standard Time) – less than one month from today. And there is an open invitation asking people all over the world to participate in this unprecedented world-healing event. For just one hour on the 17th of July, in at least 55 countries, there will be simultaneous acts of joyful meditation, prayer, sitting, listening to music, or any other chosen activity that brings feelings of love and bliss to unite and uplift the consciousness of all toward the goal of realizing world peace and planetary healing.

Five years ago, Shelley Yates, messenger of the Fire The Grid event, had no idea she would be coordinating a global event for peace. The story behind Shelley’s call for people all over the world to “fire the grid”, on the same day, during the same hour, is one of the most inspiring and fascinating we have ever heard. Shelley Yates spent much of her life feeling very disconnected from God and spirituality, despite a desire for the opposite. Then, in November 2002, Shelley and her then four-year-old son went through a near-death experience (NDE) that would forever change both of them, and ignite her understanding of the power of miracles.

“HAVE FAITH, CHILD”

As her and her son Evan were driving to a friend’s house in Halifax, Nova Scotia for a play date, the car hydroplaned, landing upside down in a boggy marsh. Unable to open the power windows or force open the doors, Shelley and her son were trapped inside as the car quickly filled up with water. Eventually, no longer able to hold her breath, Shelley took a deep breath of water into her lungs, and her sense of panic increased. That was when she heard what she describes as “a calm majestic voice” directing her to relax. The voice told her that her and her son would survive and that all would be well, but that she should not fight the water; otherwise her rescuers would not be able to revive her. She followed the instructions of this voice and “passed quietly into the other side” where she was met by what she describes as “beings of light” who again reassured her that not only would her and her son make it out of the car, but that they would both live, as long as she continued to follow their instructions.

Miraculously, two rescuers soon appeared on the scene, one of whom just happened to be a paramedic. It took them fifteen minutes to pull Shelley’s lifeless body from the car and another seven to revive her. Her first words as she bolted upright were “get my baby out of the car”. It took them another five minutes to retrieve the little boy’s body. He, too, was brought back to life and taken to the IWK Children’s Hospital. However, Shelley was assured by a team of doctors that her son was brain dead, and his internal organs were full of blood. She was told that he had less than a one percent chance of surviving and that, even if he did survive, he would be brain dead for life.

This is when the voice spoke to Shelley again. The voice told her, “Have faith, child.” She was instructed by the voice to rebuild her son’s aura, which is the natural energy field surrounding and permeating the human body, by infusing his aura with the auras of others. Each person, she was told, should spend no more than twenty minutes sending their healing energy to him; any longer and their own aura would be drained. She was instructed that each person should also spend ten minutes giving her son their “gift”. Those with the gift of song were to sing to him; gifted storytellers were to tell stories. It didn’t matter what the gift was, as long as her son was infused with the love and positive energy from the person giving the healing. This, Shelley was told, would heal her son.

“Infuse him with positive energy and your love and your talents, and this will revive him,”

were her instructions.

For twenty-four hours a day, three days straight, dozens and dozens of people answered Shelley’s call and came to her son’s bedside to infuse his body with healing, loving energy for thirty minutes at a time. After the third day, against all of the doctors’ forecasts and seemingly impossible odds, another miracle took place. Shelley states, “The fact that I was able to convince the hospital to allow this unorthodox behaviour to happen was a miracle in itself, but on the third day, after 72 hours of constant vigil, my boy opened his little eyes and recognized me. He was back!”

Even after this, the doctors predicted that Evan would never walk, talk, or be normal again, but within two weeks he had recovered all of his bodily functions and was “running down the halls to the hospital playroom”. Today, Evan is a healthy nine-year-old, and is the biggest boy in his third-grade class.

THAT WHICH CONNECTS US ALL

Shelley thought her visits with the light beings were over, but they continued to give her instructions. They told her that the same loving energy that was used to heal her son can be used to heal the entire planet. Shelley writes,

“As they told me to rotate the humans through my son’s room, they have told me to unite humanity from every corner of the globe. Not every human, just representatives from every corner.”

Shelley continues that she has been told,

“we can stop much of this harmful behavior and destruction if enough humans decide that they want to become spiritually connected. It is possible to re-form a grid connection between us that will allow us to realign the energy of this planet with each other.“

This grid connection, referred to in “Fire The Grid”, is the Source energy, or God energy, that connects us all. For one hour on July 17, beginning at 11:11 A.M. Greenwich Mean Time (6:11 AM Central Standard Time), we will have an opportunity to bring our loving, healing intentions, and our own gifts and talents to the forefront, and unite to fire the Grid.

“Together we will reset Mother Earth with a bio-electric ‘SURGE OF LOVE’ from humanity. When we do sit in meditation simultaneously and fire the Grid for one hour, we will unite the globe and connect all the regions of the earth simultaneously. In the process, we will unite our souls in love, peace, harmony and collective cooperation for a better world for our people, today and in the future.”

This is Shelley’s message to us all.

A SPECIAL INVITATION – PLEASE PASS IT ON

WHEN: 17 July 2007, one hour beginning at 11:11 A.M. GMT (that’s 6:11 A.M. Central Standard Time).
WHO: You, Other Representatives of Humanity, And The Planet.
WHERE: Anywhere you feel comfortable: outside, in bed, sitting on the couch, atop a hill, in your car, at a friend’s home.
WHAT: For the one specified hour, take time to meditate, pray, or sit with the intention to heal the earth and fire the planetary grid for love and peace. You can do this by yourself, with a partner, or with a group. Shelley states that a person can also choose to

“simply find a human experience that brings you joy then give thanks and gratitude for the experience.”

Joyous images could include “the smile on your child’s face or licking an ice cream cone.” She adds,

” Spend the hour doing that which brings your great pleasure, whether that is listening to music or lounging in bed reading to your child. Do the thing that brings you your greatest joy.”

HOW: Shelley writes,

“We have inside of us the power to unite this planet as one race with peace and prosperity for all. This power lies inside us all, and when combined with the loving energy of other humans, we can do for this planet what we did for my son. We can revive this Earth and catapult it into healing. With this healing will come a new phase of humanity. We will have a time of peace and harmony. All it will take is our intention, as a united group, and one hour of our time.”

WHY: To join our collective energies and define ourselves by bringing intention into our lives and the world for planetary healing and world peace. To send healing energy and love to the Earth, just as Shelley’s son was also healed. To reconnect with each other and all of life. To Fire The Grid.
R.S.V.P.: Share Shelley’s story and invitation with your friends and loved ones, close to home and across the world. Please go to the beautiful website www.firethegrid.org to learn more about how each of us can participate on July 17th (under “The Plan”), and to read more about Shelley’s miraculous story (under “The Story”).

Until next week, The Hot Potato is in your hands. Pass it on!
