Roadmaps
By Ma’at Seba
SUN COLUMNIST
At various times in your life, you will come upon moments when you are confused or frustrated
about a situation, which could be about finances, relationships or maybe even employment. You try to
do everything that you know to do, but for some reason a resolution seems to elude you.
Most of us rely on our own understanding, which will usually keep us on an emotional merry-go-
round. Mental confusion for the most part is experienced when immediately faced with decisions.
However, there are several other causes that should also be considered which are listed below,
followed by some suggestions towards a harmonious resolution:
1) Consuming processed foods such as fast foods, white sugar, white flour, soda pop, junk foods, milk
and processed foods and cheeses. Suggestions: consume fresh raw and freshly juiced fruits and
vegetables (there is a saying about eating live foods, “From Life, Comes Life”), drink plenty of
alkaline water, use honey or unprocessed sweeteners, hemp, almond or rice milk, vegan or vegetarian
cheese and whole/multi-grain breads.
2) Lack of sleep, exercise, fresh air and sunlight, all of which in insufficient amounts may inhibit
proper functioning of the body and the mind. Suggestions: get plenty of rest to allow the body to
regenerate and heal itself. Daily exercise and breathing fresh air will increase the oxygen levels to
the brain. Adequate amounts of sunlight will stimulate the pineal gland, which is a master gland (the
producer or melatonin), and is responsible for the manufacturing of various chemicals and proteins,
which are essential for proper body function.
3) Consuming medications (over-the-counter and prescription), alcohol, marijuana and other drugs,
could negatively affect the thought process. Suggestions: herbs, homeopathic and Bach flower
remedies, herbal teas and alternative healing modalities (i.e. Reiki, massage, Emotional Freedom
Techniques also known as “Tapping”, colonies, acupuncture, meditation etc.) can be looked at
instead of over-the-counter medicines, and also to develop a new health regiment. Drugs and the
excessive use of alcohol have been used as an emotional and mental "escape" mechanism and
is only a temporary and non-effective “fix” because the problem is still there when the high is gone.
Instead seeking counseling or therapy finding or starting a support group, or talking to your pastor or
spiritual leader could assist in resolving problematic issues.
4) Lack of focus on a specific goal inhibits clear decision making. Suggestions: identify and clearly
define the goals (long term and short term) that you want to achieve, once they are defined, list the
steps necessary to achieve those goals. Make sure that the goals are realistic and attainable. For
instance, if you have a project to do for work or school, divide the project into phases and only do
one phase a day, or if you have to clean your desk or work area, maybe only clean ¼ of it a day. If it
is your room that you have to clean, mentally section the room off and only clean one section a day,
maybe the closet today and the dresser drawers tomorrow. Another method that is helpful is a
"Things to Do" list, which also promotes mental discipline and creates order.
5) Stress is a major factor in mental confusion, which can be caused by pressures on the job, financial
problems, relationship or health issues. Suggestions: reading books or listening to tapes on spirituality
is also extremely helpful in reducing stress as well as learning relaxation techniques such as yoga, Tai
Chi and Chi Gong. Learning to still the mind through meditation and also learning deep breathing
techniques will help to relieve stress almost immediately. Taking an evaluation of the conditions that
are the cause of the stress, and then determining what it would take to bring the situation into bal-
ance is also key.
Unfortunately prayer and meditation are generally one of the last considerations during mental
uncertainties, when they should be the first. The answers to any questions that one might ever have
can be found within. The questions can be asked during prayer, which is when we talk to God. And
the answers come during the stillness of the mind as in meditation, which is when we listen to God.
The answers can also come in various other ways, however, they might not come in the same form all
of the time, such as, in a passage in a book, something that someone says, a commercial or an
epiphany.
When experiencing mental confusion, do you rely on your own understanding or do you place
your problem before God? If we pray, meditate and go deep within ourselves and listen for the soft
still voice of the Spirit of God within ourselves, the answer will come. The answer generally will be
short, to the point, profound and usually so simplistic that you might wonder, "Why didn't I think of
that?"

Living in and surviving the last days
JANUARY 2010
By Ma’at Seba
SUN COLUMNIST
Part 2 of a 2-part series
Most people are sensing or feeling that "something" is happening on this planet, or that something is
changing; and it is. What is being felt is a transformation that we and the planet are in the midst of.
Everything in creation, including people, are forms of energy, and all energy is in a state of constant
motion, change, elevation or transformation. Some religious texts have in them stories, parables and
prophecies about this time of transformation that we are now in, the most common one is
referred to as the "last days" or "end of days".
Unfortunately, the general perception about this transformation has been one of death, gloom and
doom, however that does not have to be the case. There are several things that are needed to live in
and survive through these times, two of them are to begin to grow spiritually and to develop an
inner connection with the divine source within oneself (also see Pt. I). This divine source goes by
many names such as: God, Spirit, intuition, inner wisdom, etc.
The elevation or transformation of the planet and within people is being felt and evidenced in many
ways, so I will list some of the most obvious ones: The Planet: 1) Time is being sped up because the
planet is increasing in vibration or speeding up. What we know as 24 hours in a day is actually
more like 18 (according to some sources), that is why people are feeling stressed out and
experiencing a lack of enough time, thus the inability to accomplish their daily tasks. 2) The polar
shifts and climatic weather changes are causing the seasonal patterns to be off (warmer winters,
cooler summers, unusual snow in the south and west etc.). 3) Whales and dolphins are beaching
themselves because their sonar follows the earth's electro-magnetic grid lines, which have changed;
certain birds migrational flight patterns are off for the same reason. 4) Globally there is an in-
crease in earthquakes, volcanic activity, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, excessive rain and global
warming resulting in the melting of the ice caps. People: 1) Becoming empathic or more sensitive to
other people's feelings and emotions or "stuff, especially someone that is angry, fearful, jealous,
depressed, grieving etc. By being sensitive to people's energy you also can take on the physical pains
of others, healers know this very well. This energy, feelings and/or pain are sometimes mistakenly
thought to be your own, so pay attention as to when those feelings started and left and who was
around at that moment.
Those who are very empathic also can feel and even take on the emotional pain of those at great
distances such as family, friends, victims of tragedy or catastrophe in different parts of the world. 2)
The emotional cleansing and releasing of any issues that have been repressed or not acknowledged
and resolved are being brought to the surface. This could be anger, fear, guilt, resentment etc. from
issues stemming from sexual violations, physical abuses, abandonment's, rejections, traumas, deaths,
illnesses, deceptions, accidents etc. Negative thoughts and emotions are very low in vibration and
because the planet is increasing in vibration, everything on it is increasing is vibration as well. The in-
crease of vibrations within our bodies will not concede to low vibrational energies in the form of
negative thoughts and emotions, so all low vibratory energies must be released.
Those who are not open to inner healing and are holding onto anger, hate, judgment or any other
negative thoughts and emotions will not be able to exist on the planet, their vibration is too low. This
is why there are so many books, classes, workshops, talk shows and reality shows which focus upon
addressing the root causes of people's emotional pains. The most effective method of resolution to
ones emotional fears and pain is through self-analysis and finding a person, class, book or other forms
of information on the processes of self-analysis is critical. It is important to note that because
thoughts are a vibration, whatever you think about intensely, you will draw to you, be it positive or
negative.
For example if you want a particular car you will begin to constantly see that type of car in your
travels, or if you are fearful or dislike police, you will draw incidences to you that involve the police.
3) Relationship changes which could come in the form of healings or break-ups. Elevating or growing
spiritually and increasing your vibration is evidenced by the unwillingness and or inability to be around
people, situations or environments that are unloving, toxic, angry, negative or inharmonious.
There usually is a compelling inner urge to listen to different or more peaceful music, relocate your
home or change jobs, or redecorate your home or environment. Also seeking to resolve or totally
leave toxic relationships, desiring to live a more fulfilling, peaceful life, pursuing more loving peaceful
harmonious people, jobs or relationships is typical. Because you are transforming into a different
person, some of the people in your life might begin to become distant or leave because
you do not "vibe" with them anymore. 4) Physical changes during your transformation could manifest in
a variety of ways, some of the most common and obvious are: unexplained weight loss or gain, aches
and pains that doctors cannot seem to find the cause for, being lethargic, energy surges through
different parts of your body (which feels somewhat like a shock from an electrical socket but basically
painless). Also, an energy stirring in the gut (solar plexus) which feels like nausea, and could be
accompanied by periodic disorientation, low energy, needing more sleep, appetite changes, lack of
focus, bowl or constipation problems and unexplained emotional shifts (crying, fear, anger etc.).
This is not the first transformation that people and the planet have elevated through and it will not
be the last. As discussed in Part I, elevating your consciousness, monitoring your negative thoughts,
proper dietary habits and increasing your knowledge base about the transformation
process are some of the major keys and tools for living in and surviving through the "Last days".

Part 1 of a 2-part series
The “Last Days” or the “End of Time” has been foretold for thousands of years, visions have been
had about it, books have been written about it, and prophets have prophesied about it; most were
not meant to create fear but to forewarn. From my spiritual perspective, we are in the last days. That
does not mean that this world will end because Mother Nature will take care of herself. This planet
will continue on. However, the levels of negativity, the destruction of the earth and her resources
and man’s inhumanity to man will not continue on as it has. What is actually happening is that, that
low level of consciousness (inner awareness) in people is ending and at the same time there is an
ushering in of a new consciousness of love, harmony, unity and peace. There will be an end to a
certain way of thinking and being. This truly is the best of times and the worst of times, based upon
your perspective or level of consciousness.
The universe, the planets and nature move in cycles or seasons, when one season or cycle moves
or transforms from one into another, it appears to be an ending. For example, in the winter,
everything appears to die or be destroyed and then the beauty of spring progressively blossoms forth.
In the human experience, when we elevate or transform from one level of consciousness or age (we
just left the Age of Pisces and have entered into the Age of Aquarius –the age of truth and light) into
another, there can be mass destruction (including earth changes), death and chaos. During these
times there are financial problems, relationship problems, health problems and the list can go on and
on. Looked at from a different perspective, these problems are forcing people to change their
paradigms. Financial problems are forcing people to move in with family or friends which might offer an
opportunity to bring about a healing to any unresolved family issues. Health problems are causing
people to make different dietary choices because it is almost becoming a matter of life and death.
Global environmental changes are forcing people to re-evaluate how their pleasures and conveniences
have caused the planet to suffer.
Everything in creation is a form of energy or vibration that vibrates at a specific rate. The rate of
vibrational frequency determines the degree of density of the object. For instance, objects that you
can touch or perceive with the five senses have density and vibrate at very low frequencies. Anything
that exists on higher frequencies or vibration generally can not be seen physically but can be “felt,
sensed or perceived” with your intuition or spiritual senses. Because we too are made from energy or
are “energy beings”, some people are able to see things on a higher frequency or dimension such as
“spirits, ghosts or entities” etc. This planet is in a season or cycle and it operates at a specific rate of
vibration. The planet is transforming from one vibrational rate or dimension into another. It is
progressively increasing in vibration and for us to live on this planet; we must increase in vibration as
well. This is what season we are in now. The question is, are you going to survive through it? The prob-
lem is that most people do not know or have the tools to live in and survive through this
transformation. This topic is so extensive and can be complicated, so I will attempt to encapsulate it,
giving some very basic yet important keys.
There are several things that a person can do to increase their energy or vibration, some are:
1) elevate their consciousness (awareness/thoughts), 2) proper dietary habits, 3) increase their
knowledge base.
1) Consciousness – Love is the highest vibration. Love is the outward expression of the
Mother/Father God. Maintaining thoughts and living your life founded in love, unity, peace, service to
others, giving, sharing etc. are high vibration thoughts and make you feel empowered, energetic and
happy. Entertaining thoughts founded in hate, judgement, anger, guilt, seperateness, resentment,
jealousy, fear etc., have very little vibration and are physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually
draining. Elevating in consciousness or vibration is also known as “growing spiritually”. Having loving
thoughts sounds unrealistic given the state of people’s reality such as: economic crisis, relationship
problems (with mates, children, family, co-workers etc.), physical challenges and emotional/mental
strains. It sounds unachievable, but it is possible and attainable!
2) Dietary habits - Consciousness or thoughts are the food source for the spiritual body and food is
a source of energy for the physical body. Food also has specific rates of vibration; fruits, vegetables,
herbs and plants are the highest in vibration. “From Life Comes Life”, so eating live fresh foods will
supply energy to the body. Flesh or meat, this includes chicken, turkey and fish (if it has eyes it is
meat!) have very little energy or vibration. It is dead. Meat lowers your vibration, consuming it means
that you have taken in the energy of that animal which is usually fear and aggression brought about at
the slaughter. One of the most powerful foods that you can consume are those from green plant
sources called: green foods, phyto foods, cell food, spirilina, wheat grass, kelp, barley grass etc.
3) Knowledge – Increasing your awareness or knowledge about the transformation which not only
the planet, but that you as well are experiencing is critical. It is important to understand that you are
being affected on all levels, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually (explained in Part II). Begin
to read information about spiritual growth and transformation, astrology (your life’s spiritual blueprint
and roadmap), the year 2012-2015, self help/life coaching, health and nutrition, relaxation techniques,
yoga, taichi, meditation etc.
This planet is millions of years old and man has existed through many if its seasons of transformation,
each time growing, learning an elevating in consciousness, proof that we too can survive through
these “Last Days”.

The prostitute within
By Ma’at Seba
SUN COLUMNIST
When you think about a prostitute, typically it is a woman or man that has sex in exchange for
money, drugs, a place to sleep, food etc. It is a profession, lifestyle or existence that if given
better options and/or choices or opportunities, that woman or man might chose differently.
Generally, a person prostitutes for what they feel is for their financial and/or physical survival.
However, there is another kind of prostitute, and you have been, are now, or might become this kind
of prostitute; it is the prostitute that lies within your own mind. This prostitute lives comfortably
within you and subtly comes out when you feel your survival or what you deem as your security
(financial, emotional, spiritual, mental, physical) security is threatened.
**Prostitute – to negotiate ones integrity or spirit due to financial or physical survival or for
financial gain; to sell (oneself, one’s services, one’s artistic or moral integrity etc.) for low or
unworthy purposes.
Here are several examples of how you could prostitute yourself:
1) Working at a job that you hate, 2) staying in an unhappy, toxic, inharmonious relationship (personal
or business), 3) doing things to always please someone else, especially when it is not reciprocated, 4)
not pursuing what you love (hobby, career, etc.) 5) being involved with/or in any person, group, or
organization, behavior or acts that are against your morals, beliefs, or integrity, 6) not living your
divine calling or life’s purpose. There are however many very subtle ways that your inner prostitute
reveals itself, and those are when you do things that you really do not want to do but they are
for someone that you love or are close to such as: babysitting, repairing something, making loans
(money or items), using your car, moving into your home temporarily, etc.
Your inner prostitute is a very strong personality and it is fueled by your self-love and self-esteem.
Self-love and self-esteem is also the foundation for your integrity, morality, character and self-
respect. A person with self-love and high self-esteem will render their inner prostitute powerless. A
person with self-hatred and low self-esteem virtually gives all their power over to their inner
prostitute. For instance: a person with self-love and high self-esteem will not: 1) accept a higher
paying job that asks you to ”turn your head” and look the other way while the company engages in
illegal or immoral activity, 2) be in a relationship where they are being disrespected, lied to, cheated
on, misused, taken for granted or abused, 3) be in a relationship for financial reasons or ”security”, 4)
being the flunky, fall-guy or lackey of a person, job or group.
The easiest way to dis-empower your inner prostitute is to honor your truth.
That means to not to do anything that in your heart you really do not want to do. You usually can tell
if you are honoring your truth by paying close attention to how you feel after you have made a
decision If you feel good, free or like a burden has been lifted off of your shoulders, more than likely
you have made the right choice. If you feel angry, resentment, fear, regret, uncertainty, or if you
keep pondering about the issue in your mind, you probably made the wrong choice. You are not
honoring your truth; therefore you have just prostituted yourself.
It is important to be clear about who you are, what you do and do not want and what you will and
will not stand for, which in turn assists in establishing your integrity and character. Once you have
done that, then you can determine and set your personal boundaries, which is the line that your
inner prostitute nor anyone else can cross.
Ask yourself these questions:
1) Where is your inner prostitute? (** re-read the definition of a
prostitute
2) What is your negotiating
price?
3) What are your personal boundaries or the rules that you have for interactions with others (i.e.
morality, relationships, sexual matters, your personal possessions, your talents or services
etc.)?
4) Who have you let violate your personal
boundaries?
5) How did you allow them to violate
it?
6) Why did you allow them to violate it?
Once you honestly answer these questions you will begin to unveil parts of yourself that need to
be acknowledged, dissected, healed and then released. You might reveal deep-seeded emotions,
which are the true motivating factors for the choices that you have made (i.e. needing love,
attention, acceptance, encouragement, approval etc.). There is a wonderful you waiting to be
birthed, a you that loves, honors and respects itself hereby receiving it from others, and then you will
no longer solicit the services of the prostitute within.

You don't have to...You get to.
By Ma’at Seba
SUN COLUMNIST
After standing on my feet all day at work, my legs and feet hurt so bad, it felt like they were all
swollen up. Right as I was getting off from work, my grandmother asked me to stop at the store and
pick her up something for her arthritis pain. Needless to say, I wasn’t very happy about it, I wanted to
go home and rest my feet, but I went anyway.
As I looked at shelf upon shelf of products trying to find the one she wanted, my feet were now
throbbing in pain. In my mind I began to fuss and complain about the pain, having to stop and not
being able to go straight home when I finally found the right pills. As I walked over to the check-out
counter, this man enters the store, limping. He was very overweight, his legs were swollen from the
ankles to his thighs, he also had a bone disorder which caused his legs to be so bowed that they were
wide enough for a person to have crawled through them without even touching him, and his face
was writhing in pain. As I looked at him my pain seemed to decrease and I realized that I really did not
have anything to complain about. I felt like God had sent me a message and a lesson through this man
about gratitude and humility. I acknowledged my ungratefulness and said a silent prayer for the man
and his health.
This incident and many more always bring to mind a very special and beloved friend in my life who is
half Lakota Sioux Indian and half of Moorish American descent. He spent his youth in foster homes
and was finally reconnected with his mother’s family on the reservation.
One day I was voicing my displeasure over “Having” to do something that I did not want to do when
he said to me: “You know, my people have a saying, we don’t say we have to, we say we Get to”. That
statement was so profound to me because it places situations in life into a different perspective.
Generally, people (especially in America) are not grateful enough, nor are they very humble. Too
much in our life is taken for granted, especially the simple everyday things like: being able to have
running water and toilets, having ample choices of food in the grocery store, the freedom to travel,
freedom to worship as we choose unencumbered, enjoying various forms of entertainment, to buy all
the clothes, cell phones, computers and electronic games that we want, the freedom to live
wherever we want etc. No other country in the world has the freedoms to the degree that America
has. True enough, we have our own challenges but compared to some other people in the world, we
are merely inconvenienced. It was told to me once that “a problem is a life and death situation,
everything else is just an inconvenience”.
People that have traveled to other parts of the world especially the more impoverished areas, are
shocked by the way that the people live, and they are humbled by the conveniences that this
country enjoys.
Living a life of gratitude (thankfulness) and humility (modest, or without wrongful pride in oneself or
one’s accomplishments) is usually seen in people who: have or have had very little or virtually nothing
to survive on; who are, have been or are close to someone with severe health challenges and
overcame them; those who have survived traumatic experiences (usually life threatening); and those
who have had serious life altering experiences.
Everyone at some point in their lives has complained about something that was not to their liking.
These are examples of some common complaints (A), and (B) is another way that you can look at the
complaint to change your perception about it, into one of gratitude and
humility:
(A) I have to go to work
(B) I get to go to work (some people are praying to find a job)
(A) I have to drive this old rusty car
(B) I get to drive a car (a lot of people have no transportation at all)
(A) I have to help my child catch up on all this homework
(B) I get to help my child (a parent that has lost their child would love to have another chance to see
their child and help them with anything that they need)
Life comes with many challenges, that is a fact that does not change, however, it is how you view
and resolve the challenges that really matters. There will always be more things in your life to be
grateful for than things to be ungrateful about. If you find yourself complaining about anything, keep
in mind that things could be worse, so acknowledge what you do have instead of what you do not
have. Also become proactive in finding solutions to your challenge.
Whatever challenges that you find yourself in, eventually they will pass, nothing stays the same.
Spend more time with the people in your life that you love such as your mate, your family and friends,
spend time in selfless service by helping someone else, take time out to appreciate nature. Take note
of all the things that you are blessed with in your life and be thankful that you Got a chance to
experience them.

Ma'at's Memos
By Ma’at Seba
SUN COLUMNIST
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone’s life.
He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still
Really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great.
When you let go of what you are, you become what you might be.
Don’t let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice.
It is not the size of the dog in the fight; it’s the size of the fight in the dog.
Learn to love people when they least deserve it, because that is when they need it most.
If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.
One who is too insistent on his own views, finds few to agree with him.
There are no failures, just experiences and your reaction to them.
You are the embodiment of the information you choose to accept and act upon. To change your
circumstances you need to change your thinking and subsequent actions.
To realize that you do not understand is a virtue; not to realize that you do not understand is a
defect.
When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect
you.
He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.
It is no use trying to hide what cannot be hidden.
Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment.
With a little proper planning, you can gain what at first seems impossible.
Mastering others requires force; mastering the self needs strength.
He who does not trust enough, will not be trusted.
Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone
else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength .
It is no use fixing our minds on higher things, if we ignore what is going on around us.
A fair-minded man tries to see both sides of an argument.
It is no use having bright ideas, unless we are willing to put them into practice.
Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's
thinking.
Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

Alcohol or spit, which would you like?
By Ma'at Seba
SUN COLUMNIST
“You know, you have a tongue like a sword”, my beloved said to me. “Why do you say that?” I
asked, “Because I spoke the truth, and as they say the truth hurts. Would you rather I sugarcoat
the issue or tell you the truth so you can heal from this problem and move on?” ”But why does your
tongue have to be so sharp?” he asked.
Then Spirit said to me,” Because you are Alcohol not Spit!” I was surprised then amused by Spirits
interjection; I was not accustomed to Spirit using slang. I thought maybe “saliva” might have been
a more appropriate word for Spirit to use. As I reiterated Spirits response to my beloved, he looked as
confused as I was. I asked Spirit what “alcohol and spit” meant, then Spirit showed me in a vision
a person licking a cut on their arm and I was standing there with a rubbing alcohol bottle. I then
began to pour the alcohol on the persons cut with a stern look on my face. As I began to explain
what I intuited the vision to mean, the interjection then made perfect sense to both he and I.
Being a spiritual counselor and motivational healer there are times when I might relay to a person
what Spirit is saying through me or what I am intuiting about them. Sometimes the truth is like
“alcohol”, usually when a painful truth or realization has been revealed, it stings or burns like alcohol
in a wound. Most people would like certain truths to continue to be unseen, unspoken or lightly ad-
dressed because then, maybe it will “go away”, or it won’t hurt as much if the issue is really never
dealt with. That is equivalent to “spit” or licking a wound.
The truth is that problems or emotional wounds or scars never “go away”; no matter how long ago
they occurred or the degree of their severity. Until these wounds are drawn to the surface,
acknowledged and then dealt with, only then, can they heal completely.
“Alcohol” does just that, it commands your attention, it draws the poison in a wound to the surface,
and the burning sensation is the process of disinfecting and cleansing. Once that is accomplished
then the alcohol dries up almost immediately so that the healing process can be completed. “Spit” on
the other hand, just temporarily covers up a wound. It has no real antiseptic qualities and does not
promote the healing process. All it really does is stop the wound from hurting as much as it originally
did.
To be completely honest with everyone all the time is not as easy as it might sound. Most people
think that a little lie is acceptable or not as harmful as a big lie, but that is far from the truth. A lie is
a lie!
I was listening to a popular minister on television one day and he told an interesting story about
honesty. He told about a newly married couple, and as the wife proudly prepared her husband’s
dinner, one of the sides was peas. He hated peas, but he ate them and told her that he loved them.
Well shortly thereafter, the couple went over to their friend’s home for dinner and the woman
prepared peas. As they passed the dishes around, the newlywed husband passed over the peas
commenting on how much he hated peas, forgetting that he had previously told his wife that he loved
them. Needless to say, his wife was extremely hurt that he had lied to her. His intent was never to
hurt her when he led her to believe he loved her cooking. Had he been honest in the beginning, this
scenario would never have happened, and she would have known not to prepare him peas again.
Sometimes we have to express things to others that we know they will not like or that might make
them extremely uncomfortable, but it is not so much about what you say as how you say it. Learning
to be honest to everyone at all times requires courage, empathy, sensitivity, a conscious effort and
skill. Our tests will come when we have to speak to our mate, parents, children, a friend a bill
collector, tax preparer, employer etc.
Our “enemies” or our true friends might use “alcohol” when they point out areas within our thinking,
character or behavior that needs to be changed and healed. On the other hand, those
who want to stay on our good side will use “spit” so as not to hurt our feelings.
When I counsel someone, I am going to tell them the truth about what I see regarding their problem.
Very rarely are people open, receptive and willing enough to desire to hear the good, the
bad and the ugly. Fortunately or unfortunately, whichever way that you wish to view it, facing our
emotional demons is the only way to heal from the scars and to elevate in consciousness. So now, let’
s deal with one of your problems, “Alcohol or Spit, Which Would You Like?”
“Alcohol or Spit” is about Honesty. It is not necessarily easy to be honest with ourselves or with
others because our society has taught us to be liars. When we were young our first teachers, our
parents, lied with Santa Claus and the tooth fairy. Our next teachers in school lied about our history,
our friends have asked us to “cover” for them, and politicians preach peace and try to justify their
killing through their wars. So, how can we expect honesty from our children when we set the first
examples of dishonesty? In order to create harmony, balance and a healing in this world, we must all
strive to speak Ma’at (which means “Truth” in Kemet or ancient Egypt) at all times to everyone.

Emotional Potholes
By Ma’at Seba
SUN COLUMNIST
While driving down the freeway, I noticed that traffic was slowing ahead of me. As I got a bit further, I
saw flares on the road and a big yellow truck with a lighted arrow blinking on its back end. As I passed
the truck, I saw four workmen sticking shovels in the back of another truck and getting asphalt. They
dumped shovels of asphalt into all the potholes that were in the pavement. The potholes were all
different sizes from small and shallow to large and deep. The workers filled the
holes and left them humped up with not much concern as to the efficiency of their tasks. The
potholes will be filled in time and time again, year after year, and ultimately the road begins to look
worse than Swiss cheese. Eventually the road will be stripped down to its foundation and repaved.
As I drove past the last truck, I began to think about how we all have emotional potholes. Emotional
potholes are events, situations or experiences that happened in our lives that left us feeling angry,
guilty, resentful, deceived, grief stricken, lonely, unappreciated, inadequate, hurt, disrespected,
abandoned, fearful etc. Our potholes usually start at a very early age, and usually grow wider and
deeper with time, which is the result when the cause of the pothole is not resolved. Some examples
of emotional potholes are: the loss of a loved one, your achievements or efforts are not
acknowledged, your mate has had an affair, being teased as a child, feeling unattractive, experiencing
physical or sexual abuse, feeling like you never “fit in”, feeling like you aren’t smart or intelligent
enough, etc.
The biggest problem with emotional potholes is that people don’t know how to repair them. In an
attempt to repair them, people typically resort to trying to fill them in. Filling a pothole is ineffective
and temporary at best. Some of the most obvious signs of filling in potholes are: increased, to
excessive eating, craving or eating sweets and other pleasure foods, increased to excessive sexual
activities, gambling, pornography, increased to excessive alcohol and/or drugs, smoking, unnecessary
or excessive shopping or spending money, multiple failed relationships, looking for another
relationship before the current one has ended immediately after a breakup.
Attempts to fill in an emotional pothole are attempts to feel good or better, and unfortunately it will
never work, the only way is to permanently repair and re-pave it. Re-paving your emotional road will
be a process that will be achieved over varying periods of time specific to the issue. For instance, it
might only take you moments or hours to make peace within yourself about loosing a family heirloom,
than you would at the death of your mate or child.
There is no time table for emotional healing, because we all process our emotions differently. What is
most important is the willingness and ardent desire to change your life.
Before you re-pave your emotional road, you must:
· Strip it down to its foundation by:
1) First dissecting your feelings and identifying what you feel in any situation that evokes those
strong emotions within you (such as “I feel lonely and abandoned”);
2) Then ask yourself what or who makes you feel that way (“my husband”);
3) Ask yourself why you feel that way (“Because he works all day, and when he comes home he just
watches sports”);
4) Repeat #3, ask yourself why you feel that way (“Because he doesn’t spend any time with me and
he ignores me”); and,
5) Repeat #3 again (Because he treats me like my father did, my father never paid me any attention”).
The real issue has nothing to do with your husband. Your emotional pothole developed with your
relationship, or lack there of, with your father. Now you have just stripped down to the foundation of
your emotional road. This is where feelings of loneliness, abandonment, inadequacy, rejection, anger,
resentment and fear began to first develop. These feelings will unconsciously arise and be the
underlying cause of future challenges from adolescence into adulthood, creating larger and deeper
potholes in the many experiences and relationships throughout life. These potholes could cause a
person to not strive to reach their goals and dreams and live their passion for fear of inadequacy. Or,
to unconsciously sabotage a relationship for fear of rejection and abandonment. Or to gain weight to
satisfy the resentment, anger, fear and feelings of loneliness which have intensified over time.
Stripping down to the foundation of your emotional road is called self-analysis, or introspection.
Healing from without always starts with healing from within! This is why in ancient Kemet (Egypt) the
axiom “Know Thyself” was the primary focus in the schools of higher learning. To truly know anything,
including yourself, you must do critical analysis, considering all possibilities. The journey of Knowing
Thyself or self-discovery will be a lifelong one. Throughout your experiences and challenges in life,
at the end of every day, reflect on what happened and how you acted or reacted. Were you pleased
with each situation and outcome? Were they harmonious and peaceful, and if not, could you have
handled things a little better? Was there chaos and disagreements? Instead of looking at the other
person’s role, look only at how you reacted or responded, focus on why you acted or responded that
way. These are not the other person’s potholes, they are yours. Go back to steps 1-5 until you strip
down to the foundation of your emotional road.
Now that you have stripped down your road, it is time to re-pave it. When a road is re-paved, special
care and attention is taken to make sure the foundation is solid and free from all cracks and debris. If
you lay fresh pavement over a cracked and rocky foundation, the new pavement will be uneven and
eventually create new potholes.
· Re-paving your road begins with:
1) Being completely truthful and honest with yourself while doing steps 1-5, without blaming anyone
for anything (including yourself);
2) Acknowledge that there is a part of you that needs to be healed;
3) Make the decision to want to change and heal that part of you;
4) Acknowledge your actions or inaction’s regarding the situation that needs resolution;
5) Analyze your role, actions or inactions (not the other person’s) and then assume responsibility for
your role and actions or inaction’s;
6) Find Forgiveness towards yourself and/or to the other person regarding the situation;
7) Discover what your life’s lesson within the experience was (i.e. to begin to love and value
yourself, to stand in your power, that you are not a victim, that you can achieve anything that you
set out to do, that you do not need validation, etc.); and,
8) Release the experience with no blame, judgments, negative feelings or emotions attached to the
situation.
The process of stripping and re-paving is not necessarily easy, because of the level and intensity of
the emotions that will arise. Praying before you begin is extremely important and helpful. Some
people might need the assistance of a spiritual advisor or a trained counselor to assist them.
Regardless to which method you choose, the ultimate goal is to eventually drive down a smooth even,
newly paved road with no potholes in it!

Look for life's lessons
By Ma’at Seba
SUN COLUMNIST
The Divine in all it’s infinite wisdom has placed answers to our lessons in life all around us. Almost
everywhere you look, there is a lesson to be learned. We are so caught up in our daily drama that we
do not stop and take time to smell roses, absorb a little sun, or listen to birds sing. I have always been
one who is very observant. I love to people watch and study nature, and in doing so spirit has shown
me many valuable lessons. I will share some of them:
· While driving one snowy day, all of a sudden the wind blew the snow so hard around me such that it
became blinding (representing life’s trials and tribulations). I could barely only see the car in front of
me. I could not see the lines on the road, median, trees, nothing (representing states of confusion
and fear during trials in life). I couldn’t find my way. The only thing that I had was that car to guide
me. I had to trust that they could see which direction to go in (seeking God, wise counsel or
someone who has successfully overcome the same experience). Had I stopped, the snow would have
consumed me (worry, fear, depression and for some people fear leads to alcohol and drug abuse), so I
kept on going until I drove out of the storm (faith and perseverance).
· Wind and Water – Have you ever noticed how the wind no matter how strong or gentle it blows, just
blows right on around a building, or right through the branches of a tree? Not trying to force its way,
but going around. Or how the water in a stream flows right over the rocks? That teaches me to “bend
with the wind” and “go with the flow”. When faced with obstacles in life, instead of getting all upset
and bent out of shape, acknowledge that it as one of your life’s many and never ending challenges.
They are all opportunities for growth, they come and they go, just like the seasons in nature. In the
midst of it all, when you have done all that you know how to do, stand in the space of surrender and
faith, turn it over to the Divine and always remember the sayings, “And this too shall pass”, and
“Everything must change, nothing stays the same”.
· Brick Buildings - Healthy relationship should be patterned after a brick building. They must have a
base or a solid foundation (love, respect, trust, honesty, communication, common goals). There will
be trials and challenges along the way during the construction of it, but as long as there is balance it
will
constantly continue to grow (layers of level bricks). There must be cement to bind and keep the
bricks together (love, respect, order). Then there are the windows, which let in light and fresh air
(representing allowing love to enter and new opportunities). Or close the windows to bad weather
and loud noises (chaos, negativity and troublemakers).
· Birds - I usually feed the birds the first thing in the morning and as I watched them I noticed that
the first bird to arrive, regardless of it’s species would first investigate the food, evaluate the area for
safety, then call out to all the other birds that it has found food. Birds are examples of unselfishness,
community and sharing.
· Dogs - Perfect examples of the unconditional love that the Divine has for us. No matter what you
do, your dog will always seek your love and attention. They crave it and look for every opportunity to
return it back to you. If people could love unconditionally this world would be a place of acceptance,
non-judgment and peace, because a loving person could not allow the suffering of others without
doing something to assist.
· Trees - Trees take in the carbon dioxide that we exhale and they give out the oxygen that we need
to breathe in and exist. They teach us to give and to receive, and they represent strength,
endurance and longevity.
· Ants - They exhibit endurance, exceptional strength, focus, cooperation and order. They seem to
never stop until they complete their tasks.
Why do we wait for a crisis, serious illness, the death of someone close, or some other tragedy in our
lives to make us stop and analyze our life? It shouldn’t take those types of things to make us realize
how blessed we really are and how much beauty is always around us.
Learn to take more time focusing on what you do have in your life, instead of spending so much time
complaining about what you do not have. If you are not where you want to be in your life, spend
more time in prayer and meditation which is how to receive the messages, insight, inspirations and
guidance to all your problems. Give thanks to the Divine for all things and learn to love and live in each
moment because that is all that you really have. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not here yet, all you
have is right now, another day to start anew. Look for the messages and lessons in nature, they are all
around you just waiting for your discovery.

At various times in your life, you will come upon moments when you are confused or frustrated
about a situation, which could be about finances, relationships or maybe even employment. You try to
do everything that you know to do, but for some reason a resolution seems to elude you.
Most of us rely on our own understanding, which will usually keep us on an emotional merry-go-
round. Mental confusion for the most part is experienced when immediately faced with decisions.
However, there are several other causes that should also be considered which are listed below,
followed by some suggestions towards a harmonious resolution:
1) Consuming processed foods such as fast foods, white sugar, white flour, soda pop, junk foods, milk
and processed foods and cheeses. Suggestions: consume fresh raw and freshly juiced fruits and
vegetables (there is a saying about eating live foods, “From Life, Comes Life”), drink plenty of
alkaline water, use honey or unprocessed sweeteners, hemp, almond or rice milk, vegan or vegetarian
cheese and whole/multi-grain breads.
2) Lack of sleep, exercise, fresh air and sunlight, all of which in insufficient amounts may inhibit
proper functioning of the body and the mind. Suggestions: get plenty of rest to allow the body to
regenerate and heal itself. Daily exercise and breathing fresh air will increase the oxygen levels to
the brain. Adequate amounts of sunlight will stimulate the pineal gland, which is a master gland (the
producer or melatonin), and is responsible for the manufacturing of various chemicals and proteins,
which are essential for proper body function.
3) Consuming medications (over-the-counter and prescription), alcohol, marijuana and other drugs,
could negatively affect the thought process. Suggestions: herbs, homeopathic and Bach flower
remedies, herbal teas and alternative healing modalities (i.e. Reiki, massage, Emotional Freedom
Techniques also known as “Tapping”, colonies, acupuncture, meditation etc.) can be looked at
instead of over-the-counter medicines, and also to develop a new health regiment. Drugs and the
excessive use of alcohol have been used as an emotional and mental "escape" mechanism and
is only a temporary and non-effective “fix” because the problem is still there when the high is gone.
Instead seeking counseling or therapy finding or starting a support group, or talking to your pastor or
spiritual leader could assist in resolving problematic issues.
4) Lack of focus on a specific goal inhibits clear decision making. Suggestions: identify and clearly
define the goals (long term and short term) that you want to achieve, once they are defined, list the
steps necessary to achieve those goals. Make sure that the goals are realistic and attainable. For
instance, if you have a project to do for work or school, divide the project into phases and only do
one phase a day, or if you have to clean your desk or work area, maybe only clean ¼ of it a day. If it
is your room that you have to clean, mentally section the room off and only clean one section a day,
maybe the closet today and the dresser drawers tomorrow. Another method that is helpful is a
"Things to Do" list, which also promotes mental discipline and creates order.
5) Stress is a major factor in mental confusion, which can be caused by pressures on the job, financial
problems, relationship or health issues. Suggestions: reading books or listening to tapes on spirituality
is also extremely helpful in reducing stress as well as learning relaxation techniques such as yoga, Tai
Chi and Chi Gong. Learning to still the mind through meditation and also learning deep breathing
techniques will help to relieve stress almost immediately. Taking an evaluation of the conditions that
are the cause of the stress, and then determining what it would take to bring the situation into bal-
ance is also key.
Unfortunately prayer and meditation are generally one of the last considerations during mental
uncertainties, when they should be the first. The answers to any questions that one might ever have
can be found within. The questions can be asked during prayer, which is when we talk to God. And
the answers come during the stillness of the mind as in meditation, which is when we listen to God.
The answers can also come in various other ways, however, they might not come in the same form all
of the time, such as, in a passage in a book, something that someone says, a commercial or an
epiphany.
When experiencing mental confusion, do you rely on your own understanding or do you place
your problem before God? If we pray, meditate and go deep within ourselves and listen for the soft
still voice of the Spirit of God within ourselves, the answer will come. The answer generally will be
short, to the point, profound and usually so simplistic that you might wonder, "Why didn't I think of
that?"

Living in and surviving the last days
JANUARY 2010
By Ma’at Seba
SUN COLUMNIST
Part 2 of a 2-part series
Most people are sensing or feeling that "something" is happening on this planet, or that something is
changing; and it is. What is being felt is a transformation that we and the planet are in the midst of.
Everything in creation, including people, are forms of energy, and all energy is in a state of constant
motion, change, elevation or transformation. Some religious texts have in them stories, parables and
prophecies about this time of transformation that we are now in, the most common one is
referred to as the "last days" or "end of days".
Unfortunately, the general perception about this transformation has been one of death, gloom and
doom, however that does not have to be the case. There are several things that are needed to live in
and survive through these times, two of them are to begin to grow spiritually and to develop an
inner connection with the divine source within oneself (also see Pt. I). This divine source goes by
many names such as: God, Spirit, intuition, inner wisdom, etc.
The elevation or transformation of the planet and within people is being felt and evidenced in many
ways, so I will list some of the most obvious ones: The Planet: 1) Time is being sped up because the
planet is increasing in vibration or speeding up. What we know as 24 hours in a day is actually
more like 18 (according to some sources), that is why people are feeling stressed out and
experiencing a lack of enough time, thus the inability to accomplish their daily tasks. 2) The polar
shifts and climatic weather changes are causing the seasonal patterns to be off (warmer winters,
cooler summers, unusual snow in the south and west etc.). 3) Whales and dolphins are beaching
themselves because their sonar follows the earth's electro-magnetic grid lines, which have changed;
certain birds migrational flight patterns are off for the same reason. 4) Globally there is an in-
crease in earthquakes, volcanic activity, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, excessive rain and global
warming resulting in the melting of the ice caps. People: 1) Becoming empathic or more sensitive to
other people's feelings and emotions or "stuff, especially someone that is angry, fearful, jealous,
depressed, grieving etc. By being sensitive to people's energy you also can take on the physical pains
of others, healers know this very well. This energy, feelings and/or pain are sometimes mistakenly
thought to be your own, so pay attention as to when those feelings started and left and who was
around at that moment.
Those who are very empathic also can feel and even take on the emotional pain of those at great
distances such as family, friends, victims of tragedy or catastrophe in different parts of the world. 2)
The emotional cleansing and releasing of any issues that have been repressed or not acknowledged
and resolved are being brought to the surface. This could be anger, fear, guilt, resentment etc. from
issues stemming from sexual violations, physical abuses, abandonment's, rejections, traumas, deaths,
illnesses, deceptions, accidents etc. Negative thoughts and emotions are very low in vibration and
because the planet is increasing in vibration, everything on it is increasing is vibration as well. The in-
crease of vibrations within our bodies will not concede to low vibrational energies in the form of
negative thoughts and emotions, so all low vibratory energies must be released.
Those who are not open to inner healing and are holding onto anger, hate, judgment or any other
negative thoughts and emotions will not be able to exist on the planet, their vibration is too low. This
is why there are so many books, classes, workshops, talk shows and reality shows which focus upon
addressing the root causes of people's emotional pains. The most effective method of resolution to
ones emotional fears and pain is through self-analysis and finding a person, class, book or other forms
of information on the processes of self-analysis is critical. It is important to note that because
thoughts are a vibration, whatever you think about intensely, you will draw to you, be it positive or
negative.
For example if you want a particular car you will begin to constantly see that type of car in your
travels, or if you are fearful or dislike police, you will draw incidences to you that involve the police.
3) Relationship changes which could come in the form of healings or break-ups. Elevating or growing
spiritually and increasing your vibration is evidenced by the unwillingness and or inability to be around
people, situations or environments that are unloving, toxic, angry, negative or inharmonious.
There usually is a compelling inner urge to listen to different or more peaceful music, relocate your
home or change jobs, or redecorate your home or environment. Also seeking to resolve or totally
leave toxic relationships, desiring to live a more fulfilling, peaceful life, pursuing more loving peaceful
harmonious people, jobs or relationships is typical. Because you are transforming into a different
person, some of the people in your life might begin to become distant or leave because
you do not "vibe" with them anymore. 4) Physical changes during your transformation could manifest in
a variety of ways, some of the most common and obvious are: unexplained weight loss or gain, aches
and pains that doctors cannot seem to find the cause for, being lethargic, energy surges through
different parts of your body (which feels somewhat like a shock from an electrical socket but basically
painless). Also, an energy stirring in the gut (solar plexus) which feels like nausea, and could be
accompanied by periodic disorientation, low energy, needing more sleep, appetite changes, lack of
focus, bowl or constipation problems and unexplained emotional shifts (crying, fear, anger etc.).
This is not the first transformation that people and the planet have elevated through and it will not
be the last. As discussed in Part I, elevating your consciousness, monitoring your negative thoughts,
proper dietary habits and increasing your knowledge base about the transformation
process are some of the major keys and tools for living in and surviving through the "Last days".

Part 1 of a 2-part series
The “Last Days” or the “End of Time” has been foretold for thousands of years, visions have been
had about it, books have been written about it, and prophets have prophesied about it; most were
not meant to create fear but to forewarn. From my spiritual perspective, we are in the last days. That
does not mean that this world will end because Mother Nature will take care of herself. This planet
will continue on. However, the levels of negativity, the destruction of the earth and her resources
and man’s inhumanity to man will not continue on as it has. What is actually happening is that, that
low level of consciousness (inner awareness) in people is ending and at the same time there is an
ushering in of a new consciousness of love, harmony, unity and peace. There will be an end to a
certain way of thinking and being. This truly is the best of times and the worst of times, based upon
your perspective or level of consciousness.
The universe, the planets and nature move in cycles or seasons, when one season or cycle moves
or transforms from one into another, it appears to be an ending. For example, in the winter,
everything appears to die or be destroyed and then the beauty of spring progressively blossoms forth.
In the human experience, when we elevate or transform from one level of consciousness or age (we
just left the Age of Pisces and have entered into the Age of Aquarius –the age of truth and light) into
another, there can be mass destruction (including earth changes), death and chaos. During these
times there are financial problems, relationship problems, health problems and the list can go on and
on. Looked at from a different perspective, these problems are forcing people to change their
paradigms. Financial problems are forcing people to move in with family or friends which might offer an
opportunity to bring about a healing to any unresolved family issues. Health problems are causing
people to make different dietary choices because it is almost becoming a matter of life and death.
Global environmental changes are forcing people to re-evaluate how their pleasures and conveniences
have caused the planet to suffer.
Everything in creation is a form of energy or vibration that vibrates at a specific rate. The rate of
vibrational frequency determines the degree of density of the object. For instance, objects that you
can touch or perceive with the five senses have density and vibrate at very low frequencies. Anything
that exists on higher frequencies or vibration generally can not be seen physically but can be “felt,
sensed or perceived” with your intuition or spiritual senses. Because we too are made from energy or
are “energy beings”, some people are able to see things on a higher frequency or dimension such as
“spirits, ghosts or entities” etc. This planet is in a season or cycle and it operates at a specific rate of
vibration. The planet is transforming from one vibrational rate or dimension into another. It is
progressively increasing in vibration and for us to live on this planet; we must increase in vibration as
well. This is what season we are in now. The question is, are you going to survive through it? The prob-
lem is that most people do not know or have the tools to live in and survive through this
transformation. This topic is so extensive and can be complicated, so I will attempt to encapsulate it,
giving some very basic yet important keys.
There are several things that a person can do to increase their energy or vibration, some are:
1) elevate their consciousness (awareness/thoughts), 2) proper dietary habits, 3) increase their
knowledge base.
1) Consciousness – Love is the highest vibration. Love is the outward expression of the
Mother/Father God. Maintaining thoughts and living your life founded in love, unity, peace, service to
others, giving, sharing etc. are high vibration thoughts and make you feel empowered, energetic and
happy. Entertaining thoughts founded in hate, judgement, anger, guilt, seperateness, resentment,
jealousy, fear etc., have very little vibration and are physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually
draining. Elevating in consciousness or vibration is also known as “growing spiritually”. Having loving
thoughts sounds unrealistic given the state of people’s reality such as: economic crisis, relationship
problems (with mates, children, family, co-workers etc.), physical challenges and emotional/mental
strains. It sounds unachievable, but it is possible and attainable!
2) Dietary habits - Consciousness or thoughts are the food source for the spiritual body and food is
a source of energy for the physical body. Food also has specific rates of vibration; fruits, vegetables,
herbs and plants are the highest in vibration. “From Life Comes Life”, so eating live fresh foods will
supply energy to the body. Flesh or meat, this includes chicken, turkey and fish (if it has eyes it is
meat!) have very little energy or vibration. It is dead. Meat lowers your vibration, consuming it means
that you have taken in the energy of that animal which is usually fear and aggression brought about at
the slaughter. One of the most powerful foods that you can consume are those from green plant
sources called: green foods, phyto foods, cell food, spirilina, wheat grass, kelp, barley grass etc.
3) Knowledge – Increasing your awareness or knowledge about the transformation which not only
the planet, but that you as well are experiencing is critical. It is important to understand that you are
being affected on all levels, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually (explained in Part II). Begin
to read information about spiritual growth and transformation, astrology (your life’s spiritual blueprint
and roadmap), the year 2012-2015, self help/life coaching, health and nutrition, relaxation techniques,
yoga, taichi, meditation etc.
This planet is millions of years old and man has existed through many if its seasons of transformation,
each time growing, learning an elevating in consciousness, proof that we too can survive through
these “Last Days”.

The prostitute within
By Ma’at Seba
SUN COLUMNIST
When you think about a prostitute, typically it is a woman or man that has sex in exchange for
money, drugs, a place to sleep, food etc. It is a profession, lifestyle or existence that if given
better options and/or choices or opportunities, that woman or man might chose differently.
Generally, a person prostitutes for what they feel is for their financial and/or physical survival.
However, there is another kind of prostitute, and you have been, are now, or might become this kind
of prostitute; it is the prostitute that lies within your own mind. This prostitute lives comfortably
within you and subtly comes out when you feel your survival or what you deem as your security
(financial, emotional, spiritual, mental, physical) security is threatened.
**Prostitute – to negotiate ones integrity or spirit due to financial or physical survival or for
financial gain; to sell (oneself, one’s services, one’s artistic or moral integrity etc.) for low or
unworthy purposes.
Here are several examples of how you could prostitute yourself:
1) Working at a job that you hate, 2) staying in an unhappy, toxic, inharmonious relationship (personal
or business), 3) doing things to always please someone else, especially when it is not reciprocated, 4)
not pursuing what you love (hobby, career, etc.) 5) being involved with/or in any person, group, or
organization, behavior or acts that are against your morals, beliefs, or integrity, 6) not living your
divine calling or life’s purpose. There are however many very subtle ways that your inner prostitute
reveals itself, and those are when you do things that you really do not want to do but they are
for someone that you love or are close to such as: babysitting, repairing something, making loans
(money or items), using your car, moving into your home temporarily, etc.
Your inner prostitute is a very strong personality and it is fueled by your self-love and self-esteem.
Self-love and self-esteem is also the foundation for your integrity, morality, character and self-
respect. A person with self-love and high self-esteem will render their inner prostitute powerless. A
person with self-hatred and low self-esteem virtually gives all their power over to their inner
prostitute. For instance: a person with self-love and high self-esteem will not: 1) accept a higher
paying job that asks you to ”turn your head” and look the other way while the company engages in
illegal or immoral activity, 2) be in a relationship where they are being disrespected, lied to, cheated
on, misused, taken for granted or abused, 3) be in a relationship for financial reasons or ”security”, 4)
being the flunky, fall-guy or lackey of a person, job or group.
The easiest way to dis-empower your inner prostitute is to honor your truth.
That means to not to do anything that in your heart you really do not want to do. You usually can tell
if you are honoring your truth by paying close attention to how you feel after you have made a
decision If you feel good, free or like a burden has been lifted off of your shoulders, more than likely
you have made the right choice. If you feel angry, resentment, fear, regret, uncertainty, or if you
keep pondering about the issue in your mind, you probably made the wrong choice. You are not
honoring your truth; therefore you have just prostituted yourself.
It is important to be clear about who you are, what you do and do not want and what you will and
will not stand for, which in turn assists in establishing your integrity and character. Once you have
done that, then you can determine and set your personal boundaries, which is the line that your
inner prostitute nor anyone else can cross.
Ask yourself these questions:
1) Where is your inner prostitute? (** re-read the definition of a
prostitute
2) What is your negotiating
price?
3) What are your personal boundaries or the rules that you have for interactions with others (i.e.
morality, relationships, sexual matters, your personal possessions, your talents or services
etc.)?
4) Who have you let violate your personal
boundaries?
5) How did you allow them to violate
it?
6) Why did you allow them to violate it?
Once you honestly answer these questions you will begin to unveil parts of yourself that need to
be acknowledged, dissected, healed and then released. You might reveal deep-seeded emotions,
which are the true motivating factors for the choices that you have made (i.e. needing love,
attention, acceptance, encouragement, approval etc.). There is a wonderful you waiting to be
birthed, a you that loves, honors and respects itself hereby receiving it from others, and then you will

You don't have to...You get to.
By Ma’at Seba
SUN COLUMNIST
After standing on my feet all day at work, my legs and feet hurt so bad, it felt like they were all
swollen up. Right as I was getting off from work, my grandmother asked me to stop at the store and
pick her up something for her arthritis pain. Needless to say, I wasn’t very happy about it, I wanted to
go home and rest my feet, but I went anyway.
As I looked at shelf upon shelf of products trying to find the one she wanted, my feet were now
throbbing in pain. In my mind I began to fuss and complain about the pain, having to stop and not
being able to go straight home when I finally found the right pills. As I walked over to the check-out
counter, this man enters the store, limping. He was very overweight, his legs were swollen from the
ankles to his thighs, he also had a bone disorder which caused his legs to be so bowed that they were
wide enough for a person to have crawled through them without even touching him, and his face
was writhing in pain. As I looked at him my pain seemed to decrease and I realized that I really did not
have anything to complain about. I felt like God had sent me a message and a lesson through this man
about gratitude and humility. I acknowledged my ungratefulness and said a silent prayer for the man
and his health.
This incident and many more always bring to mind a very special and beloved friend in my life who is
half Lakota Sioux Indian and half of Moorish American descent. He spent his youth in foster homes
and was finally reconnected with his mother’s family on the reservation.
One day I was voicing my displeasure over “Having” to do something that I did not want to do when
he said to me: “You know, my people have a saying, we don’t say we have to, we say we Get to”. That
statement was so profound to me because it places situations in life into a different perspective.
Generally, people (especially in America) are not grateful enough, nor are they very humble. Too
much in our life is taken for granted, especially the simple everyday things like: being able to have
running water and toilets, having ample choices of food in the grocery store, the freedom to travel,
freedom to worship as we choose unencumbered, enjoying various forms of entertainment, to buy all
the clothes, cell phones, computers and electronic games that we want, the freedom to live
wherever we want etc. No other country in the world has the freedoms to the degree that America
has. True enough, we have our own challenges but compared to some other people in the world, we
are merely inconvenienced. It was told to me once that “a problem is a life and death situation,
everything else is just an inconvenience”.
People that have traveled to other parts of the world especially the more impoverished areas, are
shocked by the way that the people live, and they are humbled by the conveniences that this
country enjoys.
Living a life of gratitude (thankfulness) and humility (modest, or without wrongful pride in oneself or
one’s accomplishments) is usually seen in people who: have or have had very little or virtually nothing
to survive on; who are, have been or are close to someone with severe health challenges and
overcame them; those who have survived traumatic experiences (usually life threatening); and those
who have had serious life altering experiences.
Everyone at some point in their lives has complained about something that was not to their liking.
These are examples of some common complaints (A), and (B) is another way that you can look at the
complaint to change your perception about it, into one of gratitude and
humility:
(A) I have to go to work
(B) I get to go to work (some people are praying to find a job)
(A) I have to drive this old rusty car
(B) I get to drive a car (a lot of people have no transportation at all)
(A) I have to help my child catch up on all this homework
(B) I get to help my child (a parent that has lost their child would love to have another chance to see
their child and help them with anything that they need)
Life comes with many challenges, that is a fact that does not change, however, it is how you view
and resolve the challenges that really matters. There will always be more things in your life to be
grateful for than things to be ungrateful about. If you find yourself complaining about anything, keep
in mind that things could be worse, so acknowledge what you do have instead of what you do not
have. Also become proactive in finding solutions to your challenge.
Whatever challenges that you find yourself in, eventually they will pass, nothing stays the same.
Spend more time with the people in your life that you love such as your mate, your family and friends,
spend time in selfless service by helping someone else, take time out to appreciate nature. Take note
of all the things that you are blessed with in your life and be thankful that you Got a chance to
experience them.

Ma'at's Memos
By Ma’at Seba
SUN COLUMNIST
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone’s life.
He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still
Really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great.
When you let go of what you are, you become what you might be.
Don’t let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice.
It is not the size of the dog in the fight; it’s the size of the fight in the dog.
Learn to love people when they least deserve it, because that is when they need it most.
If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.
One who is too insistent on his own views, finds few to agree with him.
There are no failures, just experiences and your reaction to them.
You are the embodiment of the information you choose to accept and act upon. To change your
circumstances you need to change your thinking and subsequent actions.
To realize that you do not understand is a virtue; not to realize that you do not understand is a
defect.
When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect
you.
He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.
It is no use trying to hide what cannot be hidden.
Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment.
With a little proper planning, you can gain what at first seems impossible.
Mastering others requires force; mastering the self needs strength.
He who does not trust enough, will not be trusted.
Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone
else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength .
It is no use fixing our minds on higher things, if we ignore what is going on around us.
A fair-minded man tries to see both sides of an argument.
It is no use having bright ideas, unless we are willing to put them into practice.
Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's
thinking.
Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

Alcohol or spit, which would you like?
By Ma'at Seba
SUN COLUMNIST
“You know, you have a tongue like a sword”, my beloved said to me. “Why do you say that?” I
asked, “Because I spoke the truth, and as they say the truth hurts. Would you rather I sugarcoat
the issue or tell you the truth so you can heal from this problem and move on?” ”But why does your
tongue have to be so sharp?” he asked.
Then Spirit said to me,” Because you are Alcohol not Spit!” I was surprised then amused by Spirits
interjection; I was not accustomed to Spirit using slang. I thought maybe “saliva” might have been
a more appropriate word for Spirit to use. As I reiterated Spirits response to my beloved, he looked as
confused as I was. I asked Spirit what “alcohol and spit” meant, then Spirit showed me in a vision
a person licking a cut on their arm and I was standing there with a rubbing alcohol bottle. I then
began to pour the alcohol on the persons cut with a stern look on my face. As I began to explain
what I intuited the vision to mean, the interjection then made perfect sense to both he and I.
Being a spiritual counselor and motivational healer there are times when I might relay to a person
what Spirit is saying through me or what I am intuiting about them. Sometimes the truth is like
“alcohol”, usually when a painful truth or realization has been revealed, it stings or burns like alcohol
in a wound. Most people would like certain truths to continue to be unseen, unspoken or lightly ad-
dressed because then, maybe it will “go away”, or it won’t hurt as much if the issue is really never
dealt with. That is equivalent to “spit” or licking a wound.
The truth is that problems or emotional wounds or scars never “go away”; no matter how long ago
they occurred or the degree of their severity. Until these wounds are drawn to the surface,
acknowledged and then dealt with, only then, can they heal completely.
“Alcohol” does just that, it commands your attention, it draws the poison in a wound to the surface,
and the burning sensation is the process of disinfecting and cleansing. Once that is accomplished
then the alcohol dries up almost immediately so that the healing process can be completed. “Spit” on
the other hand, just temporarily covers up a wound. It has no real antiseptic qualities and does not
promote the healing process. All it really does is stop the wound from hurting as much as it originally
did.
To be completely honest with everyone all the time is not as easy as it might sound. Most people
think that a little lie is acceptable or not as harmful as a big lie, but that is far from the truth. A lie is
a lie!
I was listening to a popular minister on television one day and he told an interesting story about
honesty. He told about a newly married couple, and as the wife proudly prepared her husband’s
dinner, one of the sides was peas. He hated peas, but he ate them and told her that he loved them.
Well shortly thereafter, the couple went over to their friend’s home for dinner and the woman
prepared peas. As they passed the dishes around, the newlywed husband passed over the peas
commenting on how much he hated peas, forgetting that he had previously told his wife that he loved
them. Needless to say, his wife was extremely hurt that he had lied to her. His intent was never to
hurt her when he led her to believe he loved her cooking. Had he been honest in the beginning, this
scenario would never have happened, and she would have known not to prepare him peas again.
Sometimes we have to express things to others that we know they will not like or that might make
them extremely uncomfortable, but it is not so much about what you say as how you say it. Learning
to be honest to everyone at all times requires courage, empathy, sensitivity, a conscious effort and
skill. Our tests will come when we have to speak to our mate, parents, children, a friend a bill
collector, tax preparer, employer etc.
Our “enemies” or our true friends might use “alcohol” when they point out areas within our thinking,
character or behavior that needs to be changed and healed. On the other hand, those
who want to stay on our good side will use “spit” so as not to hurt our feelings.
When I counsel someone, I am going to tell them the truth about what I see regarding their problem.
Very rarely are people open, receptive and willing enough to desire to hear the good, the
bad and the ugly. Fortunately or unfortunately, whichever way that you wish to view it, facing our
emotional demons is the only way to heal from the scars and to elevate in consciousness. So now, let’
s deal with one of your problems, “Alcohol or Spit, Which Would You Like?”
“Alcohol or Spit” is about Honesty. It is not necessarily easy to be honest with ourselves or with
others because our society has taught us to be liars. When we were young our first teachers, our
parents, lied with Santa Claus and the tooth fairy. Our next teachers in school lied about our history,
our friends have asked us to “cover” for them, and politicians preach peace and try to justify their
killing through their wars. So, how can we expect honesty from our children when we set the first
examples of dishonesty? In order to create harmony, balance and a healing in this world, we must all
strive to speak Ma’at (which means “Truth” in Kemet or ancient Egypt) at all times to everyone.

Emotional Potholes
By Ma’at Seba
SUN COLUMNIST
While driving down the freeway, I noticed that traffic was slowing ahead of me. As I got a bit further, I
saw flares on the road and a big yellow truck with a lighted arrow blinking on its back end. As I passed
the truck, I saw four workmen sticking shovels in the back of another truck and getting asphalt. They
dumped shovels of asphalt into all the potholes that were in the pavement. The potholes were all
different sizes from small and shallow to large and deep. The workers filled the
holes and left them humped up with not much concern as to the efficiency of their tasks. The
potholes will be filled in time and time again, year after year, and ultimately the road begins to look
worse than Swiss cheese. Eventually the road will be stripped down to its foundation and repaved.
As I drove past the last truck, I began to think about how we all have emotional potholes. Emotional
potholes are events, situations or experiences that happened in our lives that left us feeling angry,
guilty, resentful, deceived, grief stricken, lonely, unappreciated, inadequate, hurt, disrespected,
abandoned, fearful etc. Our potholes usually start at a very early age, and usually grow wider and
deeper with time, which is the result when the cause of the pothole is not resolved. Some examples
of emotional potholes are: the loss of a loved one, your achievements or efforts are not
acknowledged, your mate has had an affair, being teased as a child, feeling unattractive, experiencing
physical or sexual abuse, feeling like you never “fit in”, feeling like you aren’t smart or intelligent
enough, etc.
The biggest problem with emotional potholes is that people don’t know how to repair them. In an
attempt to repair them, people typically resort to trying to fill them in. Filling a pothole is ineffective
and temporary at best. Some of the most obvious signs of filling in potholes are: increased, to
excessive eating, craving or eating sweets and other pleasure foods, increased to excessive sexual
activities, gambling, pornography, increased to excessive alcohol and/or drugs, smoking, unnecessary
or excessive shopping or spending money, multiple failed relationships, looking for another
relationship before the current one has ended immediately after a breakup.
Attempts to fill in an emotional pothole are attempts to feel good or better, and unfortunately it will
never work, the only way is to permanently repair and re-pave it. Re-paving your emotional road will
be a process that will be achieved over varying periods of time specific to the issue. For instance, it
might only take you moments or hours to make peace within yourself about loosing a family heirloom,
than you would at the death of your mate or child.
There is no time table for emotional healing, because we all process our emotions differently. What is
most important is the willingness and ardent desire to change your life.
Before you re-pave your emotional road, you must:
· Strip it down to its foundation by:
1) First dissecting your feelings and identifying what you feel in any situation that evokes those
strong emotions within you (such as “I feel lonely and abandoned”);
2) Then ask yourself what or who makes you feel that way (“my husband”);
3) Ask yourself why you feel that way (“Because he works all day, and when he comes home he just
watches sports”);
4) Repeat #3, ask yourself why you feel that way (“Because he doesn’t spend any time with me and
he ignores me”); and,
5) Repeat #3 again (Because he treats me like my father did, my father never paid me any attention”).
The real issue has nothing to do with your husband. Your emotional pothole developed with your
relationship, or lack there of, with your father. Now you have just stripped down to the foundation of
your emotional road. This is where feelings of loneliness, abandonment, inadequacy, rejection, anger,
resentment and fear began to first develop. These feelings will unconsciously arise and be the
underlying cause of future challenges from adolescence into adulthood, creating larger and deeper
potholes in the many experiences and relationships throughout life. These potholes could cause a
person to not strive to reach their goals and dreams and live their passion for fear of inadequacy. Or,
to unconsciously sabotage a relationship for fear of rejection and abandonment. Or to gain weight to
satisfy the resentment, anger, fear and feelings of loneliness which have intensified over time.
Stripping down to the foundation of your emotional road is called self-analysis, or introspection.
Healing from without always starts with healing from within! This is why in ancient Kemet (Egypt) the
axiom “Know Thyself” was the primary focus in the schools of higher learning. To truly know anything,
including yourself, you must do critical analysis, considering all possibilities. The journey of Knowing
Thyself or self-discovery will be a lifelong one. Throughout your experiences and challenges in life,
at the end of every day, reflect on what happened and how you acted or reacted. Were you pleased
with each situation and outcome? Were they harmonious and peaceful, and if not, could you have
handled things a little better? Was there chaos and disagreements? Instead of looking at the other
person’s role, look only at how you reacted or responded, focus on why you acted or responded that
way. These are not the other person’s potholes, they are yours. Go back to steps 1-5 until you strip
down to the foundation of your emotional road.
Now that you have stripped down your road, it is time to re-pave it. When a road is re-paved, special
care and attention is taken to make sure the foundation is solid and free from all cracks and debris. If
you lay fresh pavement over a cracked and rocky foundation, the new pavement will be uneven and
eventually create new potholes.
· Re-paving your road begins with:
1) Being completely truthful and honest with yourself while doing steps 1-5, without blaming anyone
for anything (including yourself);
2) Acknowledge that there is a part of you that needs to be healed;
3) Make the decision to want to change and heal that part of you;
4) Acknowledge your actions or inaction’s regarding the situation that needs resolution;
5) Analyze your role, actions or inactions (not the other person’s) and then assume responsibility for
your role and actions or inaction’s;
6) Find Forgiveness towards yourself and/or to the other person regarding the situation;
7) Discover what your life’s lesson within the experience was (i.e. to begin to love and value
yourself, to stand in your power, that you are not a victim, that you can achieve anything that you
set out to do, that you do not need validation, etc.); and,
8) Release the experience with no blame, judgments, negative feelings or emotions attached to the
situation.
The process of stripping and re-paving is not necessarily easy, because of the level and intensity of
the emotions that will arise. Praying before you begin is extremely important and helpful. Some
people might need the assistance of a spiritual advisor or a trained counselor to assist them.
Regardless to which method you choose, the ultimate goal is to eventually drive down a smooth even,
newly paved road with no potholes in it!

Look for life's lessons
By Ma’at Seba
SUN COLUMNIST
The Divine in all it’s infinite wisdom has placed answers to our lessons in life all around us. Almost
everywhere you look, there is a lesson to be learned. We are so caught up in our daily drama that we
do not stop and take time to smell roses, absorb a little sun, or listen to birds sing. I have always been
one who is very observant. I love to people watch and study nature, and in doing so spirit has shown
me many valuable lessons. I will share some of them:
· While driving one snowy day, all of a sudden the wind blew the snow so hard around me such that it
became blinding (representing life’s trials and tribulations). I could barely only see the car in front of
me. I could not see the lines on the road, median, trees, nothing (representing states of confusion
and fear during trials in life). I couldn’t find my way. The only thing that I had was that car to guide
me. I had to trust that they could see which direction to go in (seeking God, wise counsel or
someone who has successfully overcome the same experience). Had I stopped, the snow would have
consumed me (worry, fear, depression and for some people fear leads to alcohol and drug abuse), so I
kept on going until I drove out of the storm (faith and perseverance).
· Wind and Water – Have you ever noticed how the wind no matter how strong or gentle it blows, just
blows right on around a building, or right through the branches of a tree? Not trying to force its way,
but going around. Or how the water in a stream flows right over the rocks? That teaches me to “bend
with the wind” and “go with the flow”. When faced with obstacles in life, instead of getting all upset
and bent out of shape, acknowledge that it as one of your life’s many and never ending challenges.
They are all opportunities for growth, they come and they go, just like the seasons in nature. In the
midst of it all, when you have done all that you know how to do, stand in the space of surrender and
faith, turn it over to the Divine and always remember the sayings, “And this too shall pass”, and
“Everything must change, nothing stays the same”.
· Brick Buildings - Healthy relationship should be patterned after a brick building. They must have a
base or a solid foundation (love, respect, trust, honesty, communication, common goals). There will
be trials and challenges along the way during the construction of it, but as long as there is balance it
will
constantly continue to grow (layers of level bricks). There must be cement to bind and keep the
bricks together (love, respect, order). Then there are the windows, which let in light and fresh air
(representing allowing love to enter and new opportunities). Or close the windows to bad weather
and loud noises (chaos, negativity and troublemakers).
· Birds - I usually feed the birds the first thing in the morning and as I watched them I noticed that
the first bird to arrive, regardless of it’s species would first investigate the food, evaluate the area for
safety, then call out to all the other birds that it has found food. Birds are examples of unselfishness,
community and sharing.
· Dogs - Perfect examples of the unconditional love that the Divine has for us. No matter what you
do, your dog will always seek your love and attention. They crave it and look for every opportunity to
return it back to you. If people could love unconditionally this world would be a place of acceptance,
non-judgment and peace, because a loving person could not allow the suffering of others without
doing something to assist.
· Trees - Trees take in the carbon dioxide that we exhale and they give out the oxygen that we need
to breathe in and exist. They teach us to give and to receive, and they represent strength,
endurance and longevity.
· Ants - They exhibit endurance, exceptional strength, focus, cooperation and order. They seem to
never stop until they complete their tasks.
Why do we wait for a crisis, serious illness, the death of someone close, or some other tragedy in our
lives to make us stop and analyze our life? It shouldn’t take those types of things to make us realize
how blessed we really are and how much beauty is always around us.
Learn to take more time focusing on what you do have in your life, instead of spending so much time
complaining about what you do not have. If you are not where you want to be in your life, spend
more time in prayer and meditation which is how to receive the messages, insight, inspirations and
guidance to all your problems. Give thanks to the Divine for all things and learn to love and live in each
moment because that is all that you really have. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not here yet, all you
have is right now, another day to start anew. Look for the messages and lessons in nature, they are all
around you just waiting for your discovery.
