KIRKLAND & LAURA ROSS OF
OMNIPURE MUSIC Present
DIGITAL NETWORK ALIGNMENT WITH SOLFEGGIO FREQUENCIES WORKSHOP
Wednesday, August 24 at 7:oo pm. Your $20 admission includes a free cd. This workshop called Digital Network Alignment w/ Solfeggio Frequencies is a highly energized mix of visual information with waves of healing sounds where we utilize the music and symbols from OMNIPURE’s new album DNA MUSIC to assist each participant in raising their vibration through the healing powers of Solfeggio Frequencies. In this lively, powerful, and experiential presentation they share about what Solfeggio Frequencies are and how to use them on a cellular level to assist the DNA in upgrading the body. They will offer information on energetic pathways utilizing the body as the vehicle for change demonstrated through a very powerful experiential process where each participant feels their mind, body, and spirit align on a personal level as well as with others in a multi-dimensional level. Through the alignment process which involves releasing the calcification around the Pineal Gland, each participant will know how to access and apply high frequency energy into and through their body to serve mankind. In this workshop, you will learn about:
• Solfeggio Frequencies – what they are and how to use them on a cellular level to assist your DNA in upgrading the body.
• DNA Programming – program the microtubule of water in your cells with Sound and Light to upgrade your body.
• Spirit Antenna – utilize Crystalline Diamond Light to increase your vibration through your DNA/Spirit Antenna.
• Pineal Gland Calcification – release the calcification throughout your body beginning with the Pineal Gland.
• 11:11 Stargate – access the Unified Field of Energy through your cells utilizing the energy of Solfeggio Frequencies.
• Digital Network Alignment – align your mind, body, and spirit with four energy patterns in our powerful Alignment process.
Kirkland Ross has been creating music for healing since 1987 after waking from a dream wherein he felt his DNA shift into alignment from deeply encoded information which was activated and revealed to him through Sound and Light. It would take him over 20 years of working with this Sound and Light before he was able to record music for others that impacted the DNA so profoundly. In 2010 he recorded the Expand The Light Series Trilogy to assist others in utilizing bio-photons to increase their cellular vibration and in 2011 he recorded DNA MUSIC utilizing Solfeggio Frequencies where he found the way to bring this dream music of Love Light Wisdom and Power from 1987 into this dimension. Through two decades of research and commitment he found the way to assist others to connect and unify their own energy field through a Digital Network Alignment process by simply connecting to the frequencies imprinted into the music. OMNIPURE has sold over 2,000 CD’s worldwide assisting others to Expand The Light.
Laura Ross began her musical career at an early age with a family that loved music. Growing up in small town Utah in a large polygamous family there was not much to keep her occupied so her father invited all his children to participate in music recording and singing on mainly Christmas albums on a 4 track reel-to-reel machine. “I loved the unity and creativity of making music with a piano and the accordion sharing in the joy of singing with my family.” With a background in singing, corporate marketing, and health and wellness, Laura creates a space of balance and peace through direct communication skills.

JACOB’S LADDER AND THE LEVELS OF HEAVEN
by Bruce Johnson

"How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven." -Jacob
Chapter 28 in the Book of Genesis tells the story of Jacob’s journey to Haran and his mystical dream while sleeping with a stone as a pillow. Jacob dreamt of a ladder reaching from earth to heaven with angels ascending and descending the ladder. The symbolism of the Ladder to Paradise is universal, and is referred to in many ancient and modern religions.
The ladder, like the step pyramid, links the earth plane to the realms of spirit through a series of rungs or levels, often seven in number. Each rung or level indicates a plane of life, a spiritual initiation, a planetary sphere, a color ray, a musical note, and a step into a higher plane of conscious awareness. Above the highest step of the ladder is God, or the cosmic consciousness one gains by ascending beyond the top rung of the Ladder of Life.
Like Jacob, the Biblical seer Enoch saw the Kingdom of Heaven in a vision, along with its divisions. He was lifted up on a cloud, as the wind raised him into the uppermost levels of the Celestial Worlds. After leaving Jerusalem on their famous night journey, the Prophet Mohammed and the angel Gabriel visited each of the seven heavens. They flew to each of the heavens and met and talked with the prophets of God who dwelt on each level. They then entered Paradise, and Mohammed experienced the joy possible for the one attuned to Allah, before they returned to the earth plane. Allegorically, Mohammed was said to have climbed a “Ladder of Silken Cords”.
The Egyptian sun- god Horus set up a ladder to the Crystal Heaven and surmounted the physical world. Buddhist teachings include a ladder of different colored rungs that symbolize the seven planetary spheres above Earth. The initiates into the mysteries of Mithra climbed a seven-rung planetary ladder, with every rung made from a different metal. Shamans of northern Europe substituted a pole with seven notches for the seven- rung ladder of the ancients. Rosicrucian’s and Kabbalist’s have their own forms of the Ladder of Spiritual Ascent, with each rung corresponding to one of the seven sacred planets. Occult symbolism shows Jacob’s ladder as the spine, with the seven rungs as the major chakras.
Bruce Johnson has over 30 years of study in the fields of Ancient Wisdom and occultism. He has taught classes on a wide range of topics, from Atlantis to mediums to Zoroaster. He is also a spiritualist minister, with a background in spiritual astrology. He lives in Colorado with his wife and their cat.

AUGUST ASTROLOGICAL UPDATE
by Marci McCaffery
August holds the potential for new beginnings, as the Sun transits into the majestic, fixed, fire sign of Leo on July 23. Energies are high and exuberant. Leo is the natural natal ruler of your Sun sign. Wherever Leo falls in your natal chart shows where you are innovative, imaginative, resourceful and dramatic. Opportunities for creative self-expression enable you to shine and showcase your uniqueness. On August 2nd Mercury makes the second of its tri-annual retrograde journeys through the sign of Leo, until August 26th. Mercury rules how we think, communicate and integrate our thoughts and ideas into our everyday reality. Its reversal shifts the energy and accelerates the pace. Many aspects of our life are revised prompting us to make new decisions, using the fiery, action-oriented traits of Leo. Use this period to gather information and remember this is never a good time to start new projects or relationships. This is a time to review, re-evaluate and reconsider as you integrate new adjustments into your life. Once Mercury turns direct, you will be in a better position to put it all together. Remain flexible. The cosmic urgings of this energy suggest letting go of the past, to embrace the future.
The New Moon at 7 degrees Leo on July 30th, offers an infusion of new beginnings. Those of you with planets on or near 7 degrees Leo, Aries and Sagittarius benefit, as well as those with planets on or near 7 degrees Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. New beginnings emerge from old foundations to offer positive revelations. Re-activation of an old dream is revisited. Take time to meditate, re-focus and open yourself to new possibilities. Nurture your dreams with loving care and watch them revive.
A cosmic face-off between the Moon/Pluto duo in Capricorn and Uranus in Aries spell conflict through August 8th and again from August 27th through September 15th. Stand strong; listen to your heart and reserve judgments, to effectively deal with these challenging aspects.
On August 13th, the energy shifts to the Full Moon at 20 degrees Aquarius. Sudden impulses to help us break free from the status quo are implied. Reversals regarding friendships, groups, and organizations are highlighted. Unexpected breakthroughs move to the forefront. Since these energies can be erratic, avoid challenging and unusual moods by grounding yourself. Taking walks, sitting or lying on the ground are suggested. Hematite and Smokey Quartz are protective stones for grounding.
Venus in Leo makes a magical opposing connection with Neptune from the 15th through the 21st, allowing us to revel in a pink fog of romantic fantasy. Self-delusion may be strong and judgment weak during this time period. We are soon brought back to reality when Venus travels through Virgo, where earthly concerns of the heart become more pragmatic and analytical.
