Update from Laura –
Chapter 40, Matt’s Adventures in the ARU. Tuesday nite, Aug. 9, 2022 A Day in the Life at ARU with Matty Matt
Today Matthew fired his nurse. I asked him why he did this and with a smile on his face he said, “Because she was feisty”. After my last visit with Matt five days ago, I see significant improvements with his cognitive and physical abilities.
Today he started asking me questions about his accident. Matt is remembering more and more and asking questions. Matthew sat in his wheelchair for a long time today, about two hours. Sarah made two movies of Matthew today. One for his uncle & one for his mother.

This weekend there was an impromptu meeting of some of Matt’s friends (about 15) at Beer 30, a pub & outdoor bar in Santa Cruz. Everyone sat around a table & introduced themselves & talked about how they came to know Matthew. Maybe this can become a weekly ritual.

Cooking for Matthew – Salmon Bisque Coconut Soup.
For lunch and dinner today I made Matt salmon bisque coconut soup. I sautéed green onion, white onion, Swiss chard, turmeric, ginger, roasted red pepper, & cilantro in ghee. Then I added coconut milk, lemon grass, cinnamon, and grilled wild salmon. When Matt tasted the food, he almost stood up and walked out of ARU. He didn’t actually but my intention was to make vital, nourishing & healing foods that invigorated him and remind him of his life before July1, 2022.
Matt really enjoyed his homemade comfort food today. I promised him that I will bring him a blended Vietnamese Pho lunch one of these days. Pho is a favorite of Matt’s. Has everyone tried that?
I also brought fresh pressed juice of carrot, beet, celery, lemon, ginger, and apple. He drank the entire jar. Then he informed me next time add more apple juice! Matthew and I this past year have had the tradition of gathering weekly to juice. I was happy to make & share this with him once again.

I know we are all hopeful of seeing Matt soon and spending time with him in our own special and dynamic ways. My last words for today are, “I am so happy that you are still with us Matty Matt”.
Today was a day of laughter with Matthew. And joy.
Love you my Brother!!! Sister Laura

Tomorrow is the Sirius (Ray 2)
Festival, the Leo (Rays 1 & 5 & 2)
Festival, at the time of the full moon.
Preparing today, August 10, 2022, Wednesday.
Mercury’s Day – Ray 4 day.
The Ray of the Buddha.

Today we stand in Dedication, holding our minds steady in the Light, preparing for the Sirius/Leo Festival.

Tomorrow evening is the Sirius Festival, the Leo Festival at the time of the full moon – 19 degrees Leo/Aquarius (veiled).
The Sun is the ruler of Leo.
Leo does not flow thru any planets.
Leo flows through the three levels of the Sun.
Central Spiritual Sun, Heart of the Sun, Rays of the Sun.
Into the hearts of humanity.

Under the Light of Leo, the light of the sun.
The Sun is considered the true image of God, an image of God in the temple of the universe. We are also an image of God. We are beings of light because the ‘ONE behind us’ transmits the light through us. His light makes the souls shine. (we are Souls, we are light divine, we are will, we are love, we are perfect in our design). And the light of the soul shines through the eyes. The eyeball itself is associated with the Sun. Round, bright & shining with life.

Throughout the year, 12 different qualities pour in through the Sun. They are units of awareness of the 12 life forces. The ray of the Sun is always the same, but what it brings us differs from month to month, sign to sign. The Sun functions differently depending on which sign of the zodiac it is traveling through. The Cancer Sun is differ-ent from the Aries Sun and different from the Leo Sun. Leo is the Light of the Soul.

Leo is the Light of the Soul. I am That & That am I. The words of the Soul – fusing & blending with the personality – then we become aligned with the Will to Good, the Will to Love. And everything around us transforms. We see that we live in a magical kingdom. Magical, Magic, Maga – Regulus, the heart of Leo, the star of Magic. Risa

Upcoming Festival of Leo, Festival of Sirius (Ray 2).
Preparing each day till Thursday evening with Confidence, Aspiration & Dedication.
To participate in Thursday’s full moon, Leo/Sirius festival.

Today – Tuesday, August 9 2022
Capricorn moon today – a practical day.
Leo Sun – a loving day. Jupiter is at the heart of Leo.
Which is also Regulus, both of which are Ray 2.
Regulus is Maga, Magha, Magic.
Those who see thru these words will understand them.

Mercury is in Virgo – we talk a lot with Mercury in Virgo.
We can talk about many things – detailed health things.
When Mercury is in Virgo we talk so we can understand ourselves.
Mercury (4) inconjuncts Jupiter (2). Virgo (earth) & Aries (fire).
Although the inconjunct of earth & fire may not work well together. The elements not understanding each other.
Other esoteric aspects make Virgo & Aries work well together. Mercury rules both Virgo & Aries. Who knows how?

We stand in Aspiration today. Aspiration holds & stabilizes our emotional field so we may prepare with aspiration for the full moon, the Leo Sirius Festival on Thursday.

The Festival/Leo/Sirius Festival is one of the most important spiritual festivals in the Aquarian Age for humanity. NLN this week, when posted, speaks of this festival & its importance.

Flow of Sirian Light
From the heart of Sirius (Love/Wisdom) to the heart of the Sun, to the heart of Hierarchy (Christ) to the heart of the NGWS to the hearts of men & women of Goodwill to the hearts of humanity.
This is the flow of Sirian light at the Leo Festival (19.21 degrees Leo).

Where is that in everyone’s chart? 19 Leo/19 Aquarius?

It is on my Jupiter in Leo, opposite my Moon in Aquarius.
It is on Matthew’s Sun.

We pray that the love & light of Sirius flow into Matthew’s head, brain, throat, body & bring him a full healing & recovery. So that he may see again. love, Risa

A Poem Today. (See below)
And a quote –
“Let the Soul control the outer form.
And life & all events. And bring to light
the Love that underlies all happenings,
all events in our lives & in our world.”

Monday – August 8, 2022 – Leo Sun, Capricorn moon.
Leo (1, 5). Capricorn (1, 3, 7).
Sun trines Chiron – Venus (5) opposite Pluto (1).
Illuminating how to heal the wounds.
Using our will, intelligence & resources to help transform our world, preparing for the new era of possibilities. Under the new Aquarian Laws & Principles.

A poem today.
Here is a poem by Hazrat Inayat Kahn ** 
عنایت خان رحمت خان
as an offering for Matthew’s healing and recovery.
Perhaps someone could read it to him if the time feels right.

Riding on the horse of Hope,
Holding in my hand the rein of Courage,
Clad in the armor of Patience,
And the helmet of Endurance on my head,
I started on my Journey to the Land of Hope.

A lance of stern Faith in my hand,
And the sword of Firm Conviction buckled on,
With the knapsack of Sincerity,
And the shield of Earnestness,

I advanced on the Path of Love.
My ears closed to the disturbing Noise of the world,
My eyes turned from all that was calling me on the Way,
My heart beating the rhythm of my ever-rising Aspiration,
And my Blazing Soul guiding me on the Path,

I made my way through the Space.
I went through the thick forests of Perpetual Desire,
I crossed the running rivers of Longing,
I passed through the deserts of Perpetual Suffering,
I climbed the steep hills of Continual Strife.

Feeling ever some Presence in the air, I asked,
“Are you there, my Love?”
And a Voice came to my ears, saying, “No, still further am I.”
— Better and better every day, in every way, Matt
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Ommmm
(Thank you, Carol)

Awakening the Goodwill within us.
Goodwill = Sharing. And Sharing increases us.
All that we have is increased when we share with others.
Especially to those in need.
Prayers for Matthew in audio form on NLN.
www.nightlightnews.org/ – click on Audio.

Miracles occur/appear when Goodwill is activated.
Sharing creates the miracles.

Today – Sunday – August 7, 2022.
Leo Sun – gathering our gifts & offer them to Aquarius.
Aquarius – humanity itself, & those in need.
We all have so much to give. We ponder upon this.
Miracle – Goodwill – Sharing.

And so yesterday’s post is the same as today’s post.
Calling for a miracle, which is actually activated by acts of Goodwill by humanity itself. By each of us.
Miracles everywhere, when we understand symbols.

As we enter more & more into the Aquarian Age, in touch with our divine identity, we will see more miracles, recognize them, understand them. Create them. Blessings for humanity.

Miracles occur when Goodwill is activated.
Sharing activated the happenings of miracles.
All that we have in increased when we share.

Leo Sun, Sag moon – the fires of imagination.
What can we offer, what can we share?
Venus trine Neptune – our resources, when used to others, then activated our receiving of more resources. It’s a Law.
Mars square Saturn – we are asked to take another direction in our actions, desires, aspirations. We are challenged to be greater than we have been before. Saturn restructures our desires & aspiration.

1. Tomorrow a poem.
2. Monday – Capricorn moon in the afternoon. Practical.
Venus opposite Pluto – transforming all that we have, our resources in order to bring about a transformation. Confidence –
3. Tuesday – Aspiration. Venus opposite Pluto – Mercury inconjunct Jupiter – Thoughts about our abundance & how to share it with those in need.
4. Wednesday – Aquarius moon – we share with our brothers & sisters our hopes, wishes, dreams. And uplift them. Dedication.
5. Thursday – full moon festival – the Ray 2 Sirius,/Leo Festival at the time of the full moon. The degrees of the Sun/Moon – 19.21 Leo/Aquarius. The Sun in the sky is opposite Matthew’s Sun – the Moon is on his Sun (19 Aquarius).
6. Thursday – Sun square Uranus – unexpected shifts & changes.
7. Venus enters Leo – the value of our gifts, talents & resources. We recognize this.
8. Mars sextiles Neptune (both Ray 6) – hopes wishes, dreams, vision, dedications. Aquarius moon continues.

Prayers for Matthew continue.
Each Sunday I post a new weekly prayer for Matthew.
It’s on NLN – click on Audio recordings.
Then we prayer together as a group. Storming heaven.
Which is sometimes needed.
love to everyone, Risa

Update on Matthew – as of last night.
The Soup is cold – I hear a microwave somewhere!
I can’t eat this hospital food!
Update from Thursday night – August 4. Matthew is settled into his room Dominican. Begins his therapies tomorrow. He will dress in his own clothes. Laura brought him soup, but it was cold. Matthew, with his excellent hearing, heard a microwave somewhere near. He said, Laura, there’s a microwave here. Find it and warm the soup please. And Laura found it & warmed his soup. Excellent soup from Sundee.
With brain trauma, one can be very sensitive to hot/cold & very sensitive to noises. Matthew is especially sensitive to noise. I called Matthew at Dominican. 
There is a phone in Matt’s room. But he can’t pick it up. I asked for the nurse to pick up the phone & hold it for Matthew. Nurse put phone down. Matt spoke with me. He said – I’m having hallucinations, Mom. I can’t let go of the things I’m holding.
Question: Has Matthew had hallucinations at Natividad? I asked the nurse to hold the phone for Matthew so I could speak with him. Matthew began to say his Oms. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti. 
Then he said, Mom if I have any more issues I’ll call you. Matthew is very mentally alert. And so…Tomorrow I will talk to the new nurse tomorrow. Tomorrow, another day, another miracle. Risa

Update from Risa today.
In the 36 days of Matthew’s accident, we have been only able to go to town one time. Today was the 2nd time in all those day. There is nothing in the refrigerator.
So….
Going into town walking towards the car.
A copperhead appears on our path. Slithered out from the bushes & stopped right at our feet. Stopped & rested there in the sun. Nothing would move it.
Then…
Driving into town (12 miles away on dirt roads), the car got a flat tire. We drove it into town, thinking it was the muffler. Got to the tire shop & the men were at lunch. We walked into the office and the men were eating hamburgers. They told us we had to wait an hour till their lunch hour was over. 
I said “I’ll take a hamburger too.” And the owner, Danny, said, OK I’ll make you one. And 10 minutes later he brought me a hamburger, smothered with sauteed/carmellized onions on a soft sweet bug. The hamburger was bigger than the bun, & definitely hand shaped & grilled on a grill. It was heavenly. He set a root beer down beside the hamburger.

This is a small hometown tire shop. Hometown boys, home town people, hometown simple food, home town kindness. There we were eating a hamburger in a tire shop waiting for your car to be fixed. Real people, real story. Real Kindness.
Every day a miracle. Risa
