      <description>


&lt;p&gt;Two days ago I got the news that my good friend went back to his ancestors.&lt;br /&gt;The week before I was informed he had, had a heart attack and had gone into a coma.&lt;br /&gt;The night before he returned to his ancestors I had a vivid dream.&lt;br /&gt;In the dream I was a spirit. Somehow I knew that.&lt;br /&gt;There were other spirits in the dream wandering about with absolutely nothing to do.&lt;br /&gt;While walking amongst them I began thinking about adapting to my new state of being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the dream I began taking in the three colored lights, Gold, Violet and Prana.&lt;br /&gt;Then I enclosed myself within a golden egg that was very polished on its outside.&lt;br /&gt;I filled the inside of the egg with the colour violet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At some moment within the dream I caught an image of myself radiating the light from inside of my new spirit self.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happened next in the dream was strange and odd. The other spirits couldn&amp;#39;t look at me and they seemed afraid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried to impart my new found wisdom but no one was listening. I knew that the only way to operate within my new environment was to begin using my spirit mind to create a new way - to get activated into making things begin to happen instead of walking around helpless and afraid.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It came to me that the same principle operates within the physical world. But in the spirit world it is more powerful. Perhaps this is why the other spirits feared me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It also came to me that people here in the physical realm react pretty much in the same way. The learn new tricks or spend their money and their time seeking out new methods when they haven&amp;#39;t learned the old lessons that have been around for eons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In any case, I feel that my good friend has communicated with me and left me this valuable gift via my dream. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ryan Bailey&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;was 46 years of age. He was married and had fathered two children.&lt;br /&gt;He lived in Winter haven, Florida for eleven years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was an artist who created art from &amp;quot;found things&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;He volunteered a lot of his time to enhancing the Ridge Art Gallery.&lt;br /&gt;That&amp;#39;s how we had met during an exhibition and art contest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His art had garnered a lot of awards and prizes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was an editor and gifted writer of a well known art&amp;#39;s magazine in Polk County, Florida.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He also was a good friend of mine despite the fact we hadn&amp;#39;t kept in contact much since I moved away from Polk County. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life is like that. We get busy living and lose contact with our cherished friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This humble writing is dedicated to him today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ayes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is what I know. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is what I have been lecturing about since 1983 before Harmonic Conversion time came.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I knew back then that it would be a time of changes for everyone who lived upon this planet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I knew that political, medical, monetary, military, educational systems&amp;nbsp;would topple one after the other. Each in their turn during 13 Ahau.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also knew that the lies that had been handed to the people in this country would be shown for what they were and the truth would reveal itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does it make sense that this country would pursue a war that only made the few rich while espousing the lie that spoke of peace? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does it make sense that anyone should ask our youth to sacrifice their life and limbs on behalf of those lies?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People right now are demonstrating at Florida&amp;#39;s state capitol because our government has been supporting a war that has been draining this country of its most valuable resource. ..Its children&amp;#39;s education. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, its a time of change. And during this time people are in fear because many have lost everything they had in the stock market. That market is another lie that is being shown for what it truely is. Because in reality only a few make the money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Pharma and the Medical community have lost sight of the oath and have sold their souls for money at the expense of the old and the sick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about what I am writing about real hard. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Extend it to every system you can think of that is at the foundation of this country. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Relax. Take a deep breath because you should know by now that CHANGE IS GOOD. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have attracted what we have been putting out there for two hundred years.&lt;br /&gt;It isn&amp;#39;t very nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Resist change and your fall will be very, very hard. &lt;br /&gt;Flow with it and........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Know that it isn&amp;#39;t the end of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Came back to share an update with you as well as some very good news.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I received an E mail from a friend of mine informing me that one of my photographs&lt;br /&gt;made it to the &amp;quot;Spotlight&amp;quot; slideshow at Mother Earth News Magazine.&lt;br /&gt;The image is number 1 in the slideshow. Its of a clutch of Egrets sitting upon a pine bough in various attitudes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can click upon the numer 1 to see the image and you can also click upon the image to be taken to one of my galleries. Once there, if you want to take the time to enjoy all of my images, just click upon AYESART above the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cu.motherearthnews.com/" title="Mother Earth News Online Magazine"&gt;http://cu.motherearthnews.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ayesart&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is about making things happen in one&amp;#39;s life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In these hard times of negative changes, one needs to remain very focused on the positive. One way to maintain a sense of focus is to remain centered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remaining centered allows one to open many doors that lead to maximum positive potential:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enough words:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Time for you to follow a URL link:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/myshot/gallery/59118" title="Ayesart"&gt;http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/myshot/gallery/59118&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love in Positive Frienship,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Ayes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

There were once two fortresses situated on those islands along with settlements. More recent storms in those areas have brought damage as well. No one watches or listens or heeds what is in the historical records. &amp;nbsp; This region, as well as northern and southern Florida have been hit hard by hurricanes in the past. Many a Spanish treasure transport ship have gone down on these coasts because of hurricanes. &amp;nbsp; If you look closely at the devastation that was caused by Eric, you will see that the force that hit those places weren&amp;#39;t hurricane force winds. We are looking at the results of cyclone activity. The places in Asia that were hit by cyclones show the same exact type of devastation. &amp;nbsp; Then there&amp;#39;s the financial devastation of the current Wall Street stock market. Fingers are pointing at the Real Estate bust, but it goes much deeper than that. &amp;nbsp; Our Democracy is written so it circumvents the process of CHANGE. &amp;nbsp; Yes, here it comes.... &amp;nbsp; 13 Ahau. If you have been following my&amp;nbsp;previous writings on the subject and saving what I have been saying all along as well as predicting what was going to happen since we first met in the early 80&amp;#39;s. You will see and must acknowledge that all I have said has come to pass. &amp;nbsp; Unfortunately, it isn&amp;#39;t over yet. &amp;nbsp; Right now every system that has been set up in this country is interwoven with one another. &amp;nbsp; 1: The medical community&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 2: The Pharmacy community 3: The drug companies. &amp;nbsp; 4: The FDA 5: The food industries 6: Agricultural Industry 7: The shipping Industry 8: The Mercantile of food industry, Wall Street speculation on crops, cattle, pork, corn, etc. &amp;nbsp; 9: The mineral and metal industries along with steel, gold, platinum, silver....plus the Wall Street Speculators &amp;nbsp; 10: Banking, investment corporations like Merryl Lynch, Real estate investments and development, money market stuff, retirement portfolios, quick money, greed, lust and enslavement of the masses. &amp;nbsp; 11: The war was called to uplift the sagging economy though others would have us believe that it was called to eradicate the threat of terrorism. &amp;nbsp; 12: The terrorists have used the war as a tool to destroy our economy by escalating their offensives against American occupation forces. Their terrorism chips away at the very foundation of our economy draining trillions of hard earned dollars away from our country. &amp;nbsp; Yes, change has to come and the present presidential candidates and their future vice presidents aren&amp;#39;t going to really give us the right type of change we are needing right now. The flaw lays within trying to build upon what has been instituted from the beginning of this country&amp;#39;s birth to the present. &amp;nbsp; Enough said. &amp;nbsp; Get your noses into those history books to see how its all going to turn out.&lt;br id="ze_clear_asset_220465" class="ze_clear" style="clear:both"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Its been quite a long time since I&amp;#39;ve written anything herein.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason for the long absence.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;ve been busy as always.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of my new projects: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cu.motherearthnews.com/pages/gallery.php?gallery=298886&amp;amp;offset=0"&gt;http://cu.motherearthnews.com/pages/gallery.php?gallery=298886&amp;amp;offset=0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;ve uploaded some new photography at Mother Earth News online magazine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a look, especially if you are into nature....You&amp;#39;ll like the images.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another of my projects is my ongoing DNA research by way of working upon my family tree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That project has yielded 13,717 individuals and well over 5,000 ancestral families.&lt;br /&gt;The ancestry covers most of the continents on this planet which proves without a doubt that we are all deeply interconnected to one another via our ancestry and our mtDNA and yDNA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Historians rarely like to admit that Spain settled America before the pilgrims did.&lt;br /&gt;Saint Augustine Florida was one of their first settlements founded in 1565. That was well over 40 years before the pilgrims landed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then of course, there was Lief Erickson before that. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And before that were the Indigenous peoples who came just after the last ice age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are into nature photography or just like to look at some quality images, follow the link above. Its there for your enjoyment. And while you are at it, browse the pages of Mother Earth News magazine. There&amp;#39;s some good articles therein that concern our first mother.&lt;br /&gt;The Earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To view the family tree go to: &lt;a href="http://ayesart.tribalpages.com" title="Ayes ancestry"&gt;http://ayesart.tribalpages.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who knows, you just find that we have a common ancestor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ayes&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>


&lt;p&gt;Genealogy is a fine art of finding out what ancestors came before you.&lt;br /&gt;Its a good way to pursue and practice the old adage of knowing thyself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In researching one&amp;#39;s ancestors one is doing hard detective work that takes a lot of deductive reasoning needed to tract the old folks down...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One also becomes a historian because sometimes the old folks cut a big path through history to shape economy and impact the environment in which they lived in. The old saying that warns, that the present has been shaped by the deeds within the past holds fast and true here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One also gets to view what diseases effected the ancestors and one can adjust the lifestyle a bit to avoid them as well as change the mtDNA sequences that have a potential for diabetes, gastic distresses and diseases and yes, spiritual involution and evolution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a look for yourself...&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://johnayes.tribalpages.com/"&gt;http://johnayes.tribalpages.com&lt;/a&gt; lists the history of Puerto Rico that includes some descendants of Columbus....(Not my tree)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ayesart.tribalpages.com/"&gt;http://ayesart.tribalpages.com&lt;/a&gt; now, that&amp;#39;s my family tree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As always, one learns from history the mistakes that were made therein the past....&lt;br /&gt;Some of those mistakes must never happen again....You will see...provided that you are interested enough....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also have some ins and outs on genealogy at my page at:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://ayesart.blogster.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy.&lt;/p&gt;

This time, the 21st century is a good time to see goals accomplished and brought into manifestation.&amp;nbsp; It doesn&amp;#39;t come easily though, because one still has to work hard for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click on the URL above and you will be transported to where the video resides.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love In Friendship,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Ayes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Browne&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photographer on assignment for AARP: Lourdes Delgado&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The artist: John Ayes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have also included images of a videographic cession during an exhibition at the Rosen College in Florida by Azteca TV of my artwork.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know, I am finally realizing that my art has been photographed and videographed more than any other artist I know in Florida.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for viewing the video.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love In Friendship,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Ayes&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For those of you who have been&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;enjoying&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Ayes Arts images on these pages:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They have been published within a book that contains&amp;nbsp;seventy six&amp;nbsp;pages of my paintings and my best photography shots. The book also contains images of places I have exhibited the work at as well as who has collected the art.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book has been created in a very unique way. There is no text to distract the reader nor are there verses to hype the art. I have created the book in this way to create a museum type atmosphere where the viewer can look at the art, digest it and come to their own conclusions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you already know the art is very spiritual in its genre. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The book will someday be a collector&amp;#39;s item as will my paintings.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To get a preview of the book and to purchase it, go to&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lulu.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Find their search engine box at the top of the page and type in, ayesart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You should be taken to a main page describing the book.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click upon the title of the book and you will be taken to the books preview section.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click upon the arrows on the side of the images and you should be able to scroll through 15 pages of the art.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enjoy!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Support the Arts.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buy my book!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Love In Friendship&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;John Ayes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
