How old is human civilization? How did man come to be on Earth? What is the soul? What is the relationship of the soul and the history of mankind? What is our purpose on Earth? Why is mankind so divided and why have so many civilizations risen and fallen? Could we solve today's issues if we understood our ancient beginnings? These are all questions that have troubled humanity throughout its history, and which are particularly important today as the world founders under the effect of human choices. In this book individuals from Heavenside share their ancient stories, told from their individual perspectives, of the earliest beginnings of humanity on Earth, how the Anunnaki came to plunder the Earth and created their own slave force, and how their reign of terror came to an end and left humanity to pick up the pieces of their own lives. This is a story that drives the human quest for solutions even today, that gives rise to war and hatred, as well as love and sacrifice, and that ultimately must be understood if humanity is to save its own world and find hope for the future.

The mystery of mankind's origins has long challenged modern thinkers and explorers of ancient Earth and human history. The appearance of modern man on the scene was so abrupt that it defied traditional explanations. Myths have come down through the ages, a lot of them surrounding the early books of the Bible and other ancient writings, as well as mysterious oral histories and artifacts. For all those who have pondered these issues, this book it is a must-read. Here, the Circle of Love takes on the story of mankind, not only as the trail of physical evolution, but within the over-arching context of the soul journey. We hear from those correspondents who make use of the portal between Heaven and Earth to tell their own stories of their lives in the times before and after the Anunnaki came to alter the pattern of Earth evolution with a bit of their own DNA, and how this ancient story has been confused and mistold, confounding the best students of it. This is how that dark, and yet hopeful, period unfolded and how it continues to unfold as the ancient DNA and the old soul experiences continue to impact humanity today. It is the story of ancestral trauma and the determination of humanity to survive against great odds, to meet the challenges presented in the best way of which they were capable. In order to understand who we are, we must unravel the past, not to condemn those who went before, but to understand them. If we condemn them, we will only perpetuate the same blame and shame game that has fed the karmic wheel of the human experience. Knowledge is freedom, and freedom is the ability to come out of the dark mines and the dark minds of those ancient times.

Thinking for yourself can be painful. It might be that when you apply logic, observation and discernment to your story and the world you see around you, it will clash with what you have been taught to believe on pain of punishment. Almost everyone has inside them a deep fear of being hanged as a witch or having their head chopped off or being crucified if they dare to question the habitual patterns of thought and behavior in their social environments. It is why some people feel compelled to retreat to the wilderness or the ashrams or just isolate in their homes. In the open air and the safety of your own four walls you may think and do what appeals to you; in the cradles and the churches and the schools you become the tools of those who would train you to think like them. And then you must hide your true self away behind lock and key, and never go near that dark room again, for fear of incurring the wrath of your parents and family, or the shame of calling them wrong. It is time now for the brightest and the best to stand up tall, for there is a call that is going out to rise up and look over the wall and see that they and their brethren have been too long deluded and denuded of their authenticity. It is up to you. It is up to you. Only you can grow, and only you can know what it is that you need to grow. It is time for humanity to come out of the dark mines and face the sunlight; to come out of the darkened minds and stand face-to-face with their own inner heart-light. The Circle of Love is a conversational group between Heaven and Earth who have been sharing their thoughts, stories and love for years. This is the fifth book in a series that began as the group was coalescing through initial connections and dialogue. Over the years, the members of the group have become more familiar with each other, more focused, and attracted many new personalities who wish to be heard.

One day the rug is pulled out from under your feet. You find out your husband is having an affair with your best friend, for example. Or the person you thought was your friend tells you that you look spectacular in that new outfit, and then she gets on twitter with a picture to mock you and get everyone to laugh at you. Your world shakes. You don't know who to believe anymore, or even why you should believe anyone. Now you have to do the walk of shame.What do you do?Some will continue to play the game to avoid the walk of shame: maybe they will continue to pretend the marriage is sound or they will get on twitter and say, "Yeah, it was all just a joke. She told me that outfit looked horrible on me, and we had so much fun making that picture." And then they will stick in the knife, because they can't trust their husband or their former friend anymore, and it's just a matter of time before they can turn the tables on them.Some, when their world rocks, look for bedrock. Perhaps they have family who love them, or friends who are solid, who will comfort and assist them.This is the story of what I did when the rug got pulled out from under me. You see, when you are poised in a position of trust on those you're working with, when you really put yourself out there in reliance upon their solidity and trustworthiness, and one or more of them betray that trust, you have to make a choice. I went looking for bedrock, and that left the group groping for firm ground for themselves.This is the story of a group of friends, those we know as the Circle of Love, who had to figure it out.

Time and space, the continuum that we know as life, is the device that moves us all around the clock and around the world, in one lifetime and in many. It is the game of Musical Chairs that we cannot stop playing. One day we open our eyes and we say, to our surprise, "Why, here I am, a parent," and another day we look into our eyes in the mirror and we say, "Why, here I am, my grandfather." We gasp our last breath and rotate into Heaven and then one bright morning we grasp the finger of our new mother with our chubby baby fingers. Here we are poor, this time rich; now I am slaughtered on the battlefield by the army that I was part of in my last lifetime. Around and around it goes. It may be the karmic wheel or the cycle of life. It may be the spin of the Earth or its revolution around the sun. It may be the winter and the spring, the grammar school and the college. Around and around we go. The Circle of Love is composed of those Heavenside and one stake in the ground, as they speak of it, on the Earth, that keeps them tethered to the world they knew. Heaven and Earth may be the broken links, separated by the dark curtain where memory is lost in space, or it may be the Circle of Love.When we take the time, all of us, to listen to the stories and the points of views of others, and to share our own, with honesty and integrity, we find that our journey through the cycles of life is eased by access to the comradery of humanity. When we embrace our own part in the Circle of Love as friends and neighbors, wherever we may be, there are no more broken links in the miraculous necklace of life.

Mental illness is an issue that is very much still hampered by the reliance upon both Materialism and Religion. Although the labels have changed in today's world, little has changed since the Middle Ages. In this book, both well-known figures from the field of psychology and medical field provide their input from the Heavenside, as do a number of individuals who had lifetimes burdened with mental illness labels. Whether it's an exorcism or a hanging to deal with the "demons" that have taken over an individual, or shock treatment and incarceration, there is little difference to the individual who is the target of these unenlightened approaches. In either case, society has long demonstrated ignorance to the issue, and unnecessary pain and suffering has resulted. Tightrope presents a new and unique opportunity to understand these issues from a much broadened and kinder perspective.
