New beginnings

Last year at this time, the Beings of Light from the Realms of Illumined Truth said that 2007 would be a year of monumental change and completion. Does anyone have any doubt about that now? Are you still reeling?

Well, we are now being told from On High that 2008, which is numerically a ONE year, will be a time for new beginnings and a birthing into a higher aspect of our Divinity. We may not fully understand just what this means, but the Company of Heaven is assuring us it is a glorious opportunity to transform our lives. All we have to do is take advantage of this auspicious year by focusing our intentions on creating the positive lives we want to experience on Earth.

One is the number of new beginnings, and eleven is the master number that reflects the transformation of the physical into the Divine. January 1, 2008, is numerically a 111 day. Eleven days later on January 11, 2008, we have a 1111 day.

During this rare eleven-day period, the I AM Presence of every person on this planet will integrate the highest potential of the miraculous activities of Light that took place in 2007.. This integration will gently reflect into the hearts and minds of all Humanity, and it will raise the energy, vibration and consciousness of every facet of Life evolving on Earth the maximum that Cosmic Law will allow.

This event will open the door so that our I AM Presence will be able to intervene in our lives in new and wondrous ways. We can take advantage of this vitally important opportunity by focusing our intentions on new beginnings and creating the vision of the life we want. Know that the I AM Presence is limitless and that this aspect of our Divinity is One with our Father-Mother God. Our I AM Presence knows all that our Father-Mother God has is ours, and It is able to draw the perfection of God into our lives in amazing and awe-inspiring ways.

When we witness the pain and suffering existing around the world it is difficult to fathom that we are really on the brink of cocreating the harmony and balance of the New Earth in a perceptible way on this planet, but that is exactly what is happening. We have crossed the threshold into the initial impulse of the 5th Dimension. Heavenly events are confirming this Truth; ancient prophecies foretelling this time are being fulfilled, and signs are pointing to this new reality.

During the last three months of 2007, several Cosmic and Galactic events took place that prepared the way for the opportunities that will be presented to us in 2008. We are always affected by any event that involves the Heavenly bodies in our Universe, but this time the synchronicity of the various Galactic alignments opened a Dimensional doorway that catapulted our entire Solar System into the sacred space within which the New Heaven and the New Earth will tangibly manifest.

In our last newsletter, I wrote about some wonderful things that occurred on our sacred Pilgrimage through the Mediterranean and the South of France. That Pilgrimage took place October 15-29, 2007. The events that occurred throughout the Universe during that time frame, prepared the way for the birth of the New Earth.

On October 18, the Elemental Vortices within the physical, etheric, mental and emotional strata of Earth were reactivated. These vortices are spinning forcefields of Light that energize and sustain the patterns of perfection from the Causal Body of God through the earth, air, fire, water and ether elements, which comprise the physical substance in the world of form.

The original intent of these spheres of Light was to sustain the verdant splendor of the Garden of Eden throughout the planet while the Sons and Daughters of God learned to become cocreators with our God Parents. Unfortunately, when Humanity fell from Grace into the quagmire of our own human miscreations, these vortices of Light became dormant. Reactivating them into their full Divine potential was a necessary factor in preparing the way for the birth of the New Earth.

Another very important event took place during our Pilgrimage involving the opening of the blocked Heart Meridian in the body of Mother Earth. This was an imperative component in preparing the way for the birthing of the New Earth. During the first seven days of our Pilgrimage, Mother Earth’s blocked Heart Meridian was God Victoriously opened to full breadth. This was the result of the unified efforts of not only Lightworkers on our Pilgrimage but also the precious Lightworkers around the world who were working in unison with the entire Company of Heaven.

On October 23, we completed the first phase of our Pilgrimage through the Mediterranean and began the second phase of our mission through the South of France. What took place during the next several days, both in the Heavens and on Earth, confirmed the fulfillment of ancient prophecies. These prophecies foretold of a Cosmic Moment when the Earth would begin her ascent into the 5th Dimension resulting in the birth of a New Earth.

On October 23 and 24, a celestial event took place that shocked and amazed astronomers and scientists all over the world. The comet known as 17p/Holmes erupted while passing through the constellation of Perseus. This celestial body expanded its coma into a gaseous forcefield of blue Light that was bigger than our Sun.. It grew to over a million times its original size and Light radiance. The comet 17p/Holmes became the largest single object in our Solar System. This event was referred to by astronomers as the strangest comet to burst onto the celestial scene in our lifetime.

Several prophecies have foretold of the appearance of the Blue Sun in the Heavens. There are various interpretations of just what this will mean, but the underlying message in all of the prophecies is that the Blue Sun will herald a New Beginning for Planet Earth and all her Life.

One prophecy indicates that the appearance of the Blue Sun will be a sign of the return of Christ Consciousness to the physical plane of Earth. It will indicate the reunification of the physical with the Divine. It is said that through an expansion of Light created by the Blue Sun planetary, Galactic and Cosmic energies will realign, bringing about a long awaited Age of Enlightenment.

Those who study the Crop Circles appearing in many locations around the world, have indicated that the eruption of the Comet 17p/Holmes was revealed in several of the sacred geometric patterns of the Crop Circles that manifested in 2005.

The most persistent and verifiable prophecy is the one given in ancient times by the Hopi Elders. This prophecy has been passed on through oral tradition and reference to the ancient tablets. The Elders revealed that there would be nine Signs before the 5th World emerges. This will be a world of peace and abundance—a New Earth.

According to White Feather, a Hopi of the ancient Bear Clan, the prophecy goes like this:

“The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth World will begin. The elders everywhere know this. The Signs over many years have been fulfilled, and so few are left.

“This is the First Sign: We are told of the coming of the white-skinned men, like Pahana, our lost White Brother from the Stars. But these men will not live like Pahana, they will be men who take land that is not theirs, and men who strike their enemies with thunder—guns.

“This is the Second Sign: Our lands will see the coming of spinning wheels filled with voices. In his youth, my father saw this prophecy come true with his eyes—the white men bringing their families in wagons across the prairies.

“This is the Third Sign: A strange beast like a buffalo but with great long horns will overrun the land in large numbers. These White Feather saw with his eyes—the coming of the white men’s longhorn cattle.

“This is the Fourth Sign: The land will be crossed by snakes of iron—the railroads.

“This is the Fifth Sign: The land shall be crisscrossed by a giant spider’s web—power lines and telephone lines.

“This is the Sixth Sign: The land shall be crisscrossed with rivers of stone that make pictures in the Sun—freeways with mirages caused by the Sun.

“This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it—oil spills in the oceans.

“This is the Eighth Sign: You will see many youth who wear their hair long like my people. They will come and join the tribal nations, to learn our ways and wisdom—the hippies in the 1960s and 1970s.

“And this is the Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling-place in the Heavens, above the Earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a blue Star—the Blue Kachina Sun. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of my people will cease.”

The Hopi prophecy goes on to say that the appearance of the Blue Kachina Star will initiate a time of great purification, a time during which the Earth will be purged and cleansed of negativity in preparation for her emergence into the 5th World—the 5th Dimension.

To many this may sound ominous, but the Beings of Light have assured us that we are the creators of circumstance not the victims of circumstance. We do not have to just stand by and wait for disaster to strike. In Truth, a prophecy from On High that contains the potential of a negative or destructive outcome is given to Humanity only if we have the ability to do something to avert that particular outcome. That is, in fact, the SOLE reason why such a prophecy is given to Humanity.

A FULFILLED NEGATIVE PROPHECY IS A FAILED PROPHECY. Any prophecy predicting a negative outcome is intended to show us the potential of what will occur if we continue our present course of direction. The Divine Intent of such a prophecy is to inform us and to inspire us to change our behavior and to alter the path we are following. If we do not take the information from the prophecy and do whatever we can to avert the destructive outcome, the prophecy will not have fulfilled its Divine Intent.

It is true that the Earth must be cleansed and purified in order for the New Earth to manifest in all of her infinite perfection, but the severity of that purging will depend on Humanity. If we reclaim our natural Birthright as stewards of the Earth and invoke the assistance of the Company of Heaven to help transmute and heal the atrocities we have inflicted on this blessed planet, the cleansing will occur gently with a minimal loss of Life. If we choose to ignore the Signs and continue our mindless pursuit for material gain at the expense of the Earth, the purification will be harsher with a greater potential for loss of Life.

This information is being given to Humanity at this time not to instill fear but to inspire us to remember our purpose and reason for being. We are being called to a higher service on behalf of Mother Earth and all Life evolving upon her. We are powerful beyond our knowing. Each and every one of us has been preparing for aeons of time to be the Hands of God in the physical plane during this Cosmic Moment. Please do not underestimate your ability to make a positive difference. Trust yourself! Listen to your heart, and you will know how you can be the most powerful force of Light possible.

On October 25, while the Blue Kachina Star was expanding in the Heavens, we traveled to a mystical sanctuary that is dedicated to the Angels and their perpetual service to Humanity. This incredibly holy place is located in Alet-les-Bains, Aude. The water here is believed to be magical, healing water.

When we arrived at the site called the Angel Sanctuary, we were greeted by Eugene and Lorrie, the father and mother of a wonderful Irish family whose members are the stewards of this portal of Light. Lorrie has communicated with Angels all her life. She and Eugene were guided a little over a year ago to bring their family from Ireland to this sacred place in France. The Angels asked them to open the Angel Sanctuary and Art Gallery which would magnetize people from all over the world.

Lorrie does Divinely inspired watercolor paintings of the Angels with her fingers. She is then given a beautiful message that is posted with each Angel. As we walked in silence through the Art Gallery-Sanctuary we were transported into a sacred meditation that transcended time and space.

In this exalted state of consciousness, our Father-Mother God, All That Is, revealed that this location is the portal through which the Permanent Seed Atom for the 5th-Dimensional Immortal Victorious Threefold Flame will enter the Heart of Mother Earth.

In order to grasp the magnitude of what that truly means, it is important to understand just what the Permanent Seed Atom is. The first thing that occurs when a soul is given permission to embody is that the I AM Presence selects the highest frequency of electronic Light substance the soul has earned since it was first breathed forth from the core of Creation. This pure Light is then placed in the mother’s womb and forms the Permanent Seed Atom in the heart for the incoming soul.

This Seed Atom creates the magnetic force that draws the unformed primal Light substance from the Heart of our Father-Mother God that will form the Immortal Victorious Threefold Flame in the incoming soul’s heart. Then the primal Light substance that will form the rest of the physical, etheric, mental and emotional bodies for the soul is magnetized around the Threefold Flame.

Our Father-Mother God revealed to us that while we were in the Angel Sanctuary, the Permanent Seed Atom for the 5th-Dimensional Threefold Flame in the Heart of Mother Earth was secured in the Sun of Even Pressure in the Center of the Earth. This powerful forcefield of Light is now in place to magnetize the 5th-Dimensional primal Light substance that will be used to create the Threefold Flame and the Immaculate Concept of the physical, etheric, mental and emotional strata for the New Earth.

This means that the patterns of perfection that were imprinted on the fluid field of unmanifest Divine Potential after the opening of Mother Earth’s Heart Meridian will now be birthed into the physical plane of Earth.

These two activities of Light, the purification of the negative patterns and human miscreations inflicted on Mother Earth and the manifestation of the patterns of perfection for the New Earth, will take place simultaneously. The length of time it will take for us to begin seeing tangible evidence of this transformation will be up to you and me and every other Lightworker on this planet. 2008 is a year of New Beginnings, and each and every one of us has the ability to make a significant difference in our individual lives and collectively for all Life on this blessed Earth.

As we move into this unprecedented year of opportunity, let’s take time to contemplate how we can add to the Light of the world, and how we can assist in transmuting and healing the negativity of the past in powerful and effective ways. The Company of Heaven is standing in readiness awaiting our beck and call. On behalf of Humanity and all Life evolving on this sweet Earth, do not let this opportunity pass you by.

As the Hopi Nation says, WE ARE THE ONES WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!

Blessed is the season

"Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love!"

Hamilton Wright Mabie

Symptoms of Spiritual Awakening

This , I found, was another of those "oh wow!" articles that really made me take stock of all my experiences over the past eighteen months! Fascinating reading ...

* * * * *

by Annarita

1. Changing sleep patterns

Restlessness, hot feet, waking up two or three times a night. Feeling tired after you wake up and sleepy off and on during the day.

There is something called the triad sleep pattern that occurs for many: you sleep for about 2-3 hours, wake up, go back to sleep for another couple of hours, wake again, and go back to sleep again. For others, the sleep requirements have changed. You can get by on less sleep. Lately I have been experiencing huge waves of energy running into my body from the crown. It feels good, but it keeps me awake for a long time, then subsides.

Advice: get used to it. Make peace with it and don't worry about getting enough sleep (which often causes more insomnia). You will be able to make it through the day if you hold thoughts of getting just what you need. You can also request your higher power to give you a break now and then and give you a good, deep night's sleep. If you can't go back to sleep right away, use the waking moments to meditate, read poetry, write in your journal or look at the moon. Your body will adjust to the new pattern.

2. Activity at the crown of the head

Tingling, itching, prickly, crawling sensations along the scalp and/or down the spine. A sense of energy vibrating on top of the head, as if energy is erupting from the head in a shower. Also the sensation of energy pouring in through the crown, described as "sprinkles". This may also be experienced as pressure on the crown, as if someone is pushing his/her finger into the centre of your head.

As I mentioned in 1, I have been experiencing huge downloads of energy through the crown. In the past, I have felt more generalized pressure, as if my head is in a gentle vice. One man related that his hair stood on end and his body was covered with goosebumps.

Advice: this is nothing to be alarmed about. What you are experiencing is an opening of the crown chakra. The sensations mean that you are opening up to receive divine energy.

3. Sudden waves of emotion

Crying at the drop of a hat. Feeling suddenly angry or sad with little provocation. Or inexplicably depressed, then very happy. Emotional roller coaster. There is often a pressure or sense of emotions congested in the heart chakra (the middle of the chest). This is not to be confused with the heart, which is located to the left of the heart chakra.

Advice: accept your feelings as they come up and let them go. Go directly to your heart chakra and feel the emotion. Expand it outward to your all your fields and breathe deeply from the belly all the way up to your upper chest. Just feel the feeling and let it evaporate on its own. Don't direct the emotions at anyone. You are cleaning out your past. If you want some help with this, say out loud that you intend to release all these old issues and ask your higher power to help you. You can also ask Grace Elohim to help you release with ease and gentleness. Be grateful that your body is releasing these emotions and not holding onto them inside where they can do harm. One source suggests that depression is linked to letting go of relationships to people, work, etc. That no longer match us and our frequencies. When we feel guilty about letting go of these relationships, depression helps us medicate that pain.

4. Old "stuff"

Seems to be coming up, as described above, and the people with whom you need to work it out (or their clones) appear in your life. Completion issues. Or perhaps you need to work through issues of self-worth, abundance, creativity, addictions, etc. The resources or people you need to help you move through these issues start to appear.

Advice: same as 3. Additionally, don't get too involved in analyzing these issues. Examining them too much will simply cycle you back through them over and over again at deeper and deeper levels. Get professional help if you need to and walk through it. Do not try to avoid them or disassociate yourself from them. Embrace whatever comes up and thank it for helping you move ahead. Thank your higher power for giving you the opportunity to release these issues. Remember, you don't want these issues to stay stuck in your body.

5. Changes in weight

The weight gain in the Westernised world is phenomenal. Other people may be losing weight. We often gain weight because many fears we have suppressed are coming up to the surface to be healed. We react by building up a defence. We also attempt to ground ourselves or provide bulk against increasing frequencies in our bodies.

Advice: don't freak out, but just accept it as a symptom of where you are right now. You will release/gain the weight when all your fears have been integrated. Release your anxiety about this then you might find it easier to lose/gain the weight eventually. Exercise. Before eating, try this: sit at the table with an attractive place setting. Light a candle, enjoy how the food looks. Place your dominant hand over your heart and bless the food. Tell your body that you are going to use the food to nourish it, but that you are not going to use the food to heal your emotional hungers. Then pass your hand from left to right over the food and bless it. You may notice that the food feels warm to your hand even if the food is cold – I like to think that the food is a good for me. Warm and nourishing to my body. I have also noticed that when practicing blessing the food, I don’t eat as much. It is important not to let yourself off the hook when you forget to bless the food before you’ve eaten. Another thing you can do is stay present while eating – don’t watch tv or read. Heartily enjoy what blessings are before you.

6. Changes in eating habits

Strange cravings and odd food choices. Some find they are not as hungry as they used to be, or find they are hungrier.

Advice: don't deny what your body tells you it needs. If you are not sure, you might try muscle-testing (kinesiology or dowsing) before you chose a food to see if it’s what your body wants. Also try blessing the food as described in 5.

7. Food intolerances, new allergies

As you grow more spiritual, you are more sensitive to everything around you. Your body will tell you what it can no longer tolerate, as if it, too, is sloughing off what doesn't serve it anymore. You might be cleansing yourself of toxins. Some people find they often have a white residue in their mouth, much like that of runners at the end of a race.

Advice: an acupuncturist told me that this film can be removed by sloshing 2 tablespoons of cold-pressed olive oil in your mouth for 10-15 minutes (don't swallow, whatever you do), then spitting it out into the toilet - not the sink, for you just removed toxins from your body and don't want them in the sink. Brush your teeth and do the same. Then clean your brush. (sorry this is yukky, but it works.)

8. Amplification of the senses

Increased sensitivity.

8a. Sight: blurry vision, shimmering objects, seeing glittery particles, auras around people, plants, animals, and objects. Some report seeing formerly opaque objects as transparent. When you close your eyes, you no longer see darkness, but redness. You may also see geometric shapes or brilliant colours and pictures when eyes are closed. Colours appear more vivid - the sky might look teal or the grass an amazing green. Often I see grids running across the ground. As you become more sensitive, you may see shapes or outlines in the air, especially when the room is almost dark. When your eyes are open or closed, you may see white shapes in your peripheral vision (these are your guides).

Advice: your vision is changing in many ways - you are experiencing new ways of seeing. Be patient. Whatever you do, do not be afraid. Hazy vision maybe relieved by yawning.

8b. Hearing: increased or decreased hearing. I once thought I would have to pull off the road because of the painfully amplified sound of my tires on the freeway. Other symptoms are hearing white noise in the head, beeps, tones, music or electronic patterns. Some hear water rushing, bees buzzing, whooshing, roaring or ringing. Others have what is called audio dyslexia - you can't always make out what people are saying, as if you can no longer translate your own language. Some hear strange voices in their dreams, as if someone is hovering near them. You can either ask the presence(s) to leave or ask Archangel Michael to take care of the situation. Again, there is nothing to fear.

Advice: surrender to it. Let it come through. Listen. Your ears are adjusting to new frequencies.

8c. Enhanced senses of smell, touch, and/or taste. I notice I can now smell and
taste chemical additives in some foods in a rather unpleasant manner. Other food may taste absolutely wonderful. For some people, these enhancements are both delightful and distracting. You might even smell the fragrance of flowers now and then. Many of the mystics did. Enjoy it.

9. Skin eruptions: rashes, bumps, acne, hives, and shingles

Anger produces outbreaks around the mouth and chin.

I had a dermatitis on my extremities for several months that accompanied healing an episode from my past. When I had worked through most of the issue, the condition was released.

Advice: you may be sloughing off toxins and bringing emotions to the surface. When there is an issue to be released and you are trying to repress it, your skin will express the issue for you until you process the emotions. Work through your "stuff".

10. Episodes of intense energy

Which make you want to leap out of bed and into action. Followed by periods of lethargy and fatigue. The fatigue usually follows great shifts. This is a time of integration, so give into it.

Advice: roll with the nature of the energy. Don't fight it. Be gentle with yourself. Take naps if you are tired. Write your novel if you are too energized to sleep. Take advantage of the type of energy.

11. Changes in prayer or meditation

Not feeling the same sensations as before. Not having the same experience of being in contact with spirit. Difficulty in focusing.

Advice: you may be in more instant and constant communion with spirit now and the sensation may therefore be altered. You will adapt to this new feeling. You are actually thinking and acting in partnership with spirit most of the time now. You may find your meditation periods shorter.

12. Power surges

All of a sudden you are heated from head to toe. It is a momentary sensation, but uncomfortable. In contrast, some people have felt inexplicably cold. I have experienced both. More recently I experience waves or currents of energy rolling through me. Sometimes the energy seems so intense when it first comes into my body that I feel a little nauseated. But if I think of the energy as divine and let go of fear, I feel wonderful and enjoy the sensation. If you are an energy worker, you may have noticed that the heat running through your hands has increased tremendously. This is good.

Advice: if you are uncomfortable, ask your higher power, that if it be for your best and highest good, to turn down/up the temperature a bit.

13. A range of physical manifestations

Headaches, backaches, neck pains, flu-like symptoms (this is called vibrational flu), digestive problems, muscular spasms or cramps, racing heartbeat, chest pains, changes in sexual desire, numbness or pain in the limbs, and involuntary vocalizations or bodily movements. Some of us have even had old conditions from childhood reappear briefly for healing.

Advice: remember what I said about seeking medical help if you need it! If you have determined that this is not a medical condition, relax in the realization that it is only temporary.

14. Looking younger

Yippee! As you clear emotional issues and release limiting beliefs and heavy baggage from the past, you are actually lighter. Your frequency is higher. You love yourself and life more. You begin to resemble the perfect you that you really are.

15. Vivid dreams

Sometimes the dreams are so real that you wake up confused. You may even have lucid dreams in which you are in control. Many dreams may be mystical or carry messages for you. And in some dreams, you just know that you are not "dreaming" - that what is happening is somehow real.

Advice: you will remember what is important for you to remember. Don't force anything. Above all, stay out of fear.

16. Events that completely alter your life

Death, divorce, change in job status, loss of home, illness, and/or other catastrophes - sometimes several at once! Forces that cause you to slow down, simplify, change, re-examine who you are and what your life means to you. Forces that you cannot ignore. Forces that cause you release your attachments. Forces that awaken your sense of love and compassion for all.

17. A desire to break free

From restrictive patterns, life-draining jobs, consumptive lifestyles and toxic people or situations. You feel a compelling need to "find yourself" and your life purpose - now! You want to be creative and free to be who you really are. You might find yourself drawn to the arts and nature. You want to unclutter yourself from things and people that no longer serve you.

Advice: do it!

18. Emotional and mental confusion

A feeling that you need to get your life straightened out - it feels like a mess. But at the same time you feel chaotic and unable to focus. See 45.

Advice: put your ear to your heart and your own discernment will follow.

19. Introspection, solitude and loss of interest in more extroverted activities

This stage has come as a surprise to many extroverts who formerly saw themselves as outgoing and involved. They say, "I don't know why, but I don't like to go out as much as before."
20. Creativity bursts

Receiving images, ideas, music, and other creative inspirations at an often overwhelming rate.

Advice: at least record these inspirations, for spirit is speaking to you about how you might fulfil your purpose and contribute to the healing of the planet.

21. A perception that time is accelerating

It seems that way because you have had so many changes introduced into your life at an unprecedented rate. The number of changes seems to be growing.

Advice: breaking your day up into appointments and time segments increases the sense of acceleration .you can slow time down by relaxing into the present moment and paying attention to what's at hand, not anticipating what's ahead. Slow down and tell yourself that you have plenty of time. Ask your higher power to help you. Keep your focus on the present. Try to flow from one activity to the next. Stay tuned to your inner guidance. You can also warp time by asking for it. Next time you feel rushed, say, "Time warp, please. I need some more time to -----." then relax.

22. A sense of impendingness

There is a feeling that something is about to happen. This can create anxiety.

Advice: there is nothing to worry about. Things are definitely happening, but anxiety only creates more problems for you. All your thoughts - positive or negative - are prayers. There is nothing to fear.

23. Impatience

You know better, but sometimes you can't help it. You want to get on with what seems to be coming your way. Uncertainty is not comfortable.

Advice: learn to live with the uncertainty, knowing that nothing comes to you until you are ready. Impatience is really a lack of trust, especially trust in your higher power. When you focus on the present, you will experience miracles - yes, even in traffic.

24. A deep yearning for meaning, purpose, spiritual connection, and revelation

Perhaps an interest in the spiritual for the first time in your life. "constant craving", as K.D. Lang says. The material world cannot fulfil this longing.

Advice: follow your heart and the way will open up for you.

25. A feeling that you are somehow different

A disquieting sense that everything in your life feels new and altered, that you have left your old self behind. You have. You are much greater than you can possibly imagine. There is more to come. "teachers" appear everywhere with perfect timing to help you on your spiritual journey: people, books, movies, events, mother nature, etc. Teachers may appear to be negative or positive when you are trapped in polarity thinking, but, from a transcendent perspective, they are always perfect. Just what you need to learn from and move on. By the way, we never get more than we are ready to master. Each challenge presents us with an opportunity to show our mastery in passing through it.

26. You find a spiritual track that makes sense to you and "speaks to you" at the most profound levels

Suddenly you are gaining a perspective that you would never have considered before. You hunger to know more. You read, share with others, ask questions, and go inside to discover more about who you are and why you are here you are moving through learning and personal issues at a rapid pace. You sense that you are "getting it" quite readily.

Advice: keep remembering that things will come to you when they are ready to be healed. Not sooner. Deal with whatever comes up with courage and you will move through the issues rapidly.

27. Invisible presences

Here is the woo-woo stuff. Some people report feeling surrounded by beings at night or having the sensation of being touched or talked to. Often they will wake with a start. Some also feel their body or bed vibrate. The vibrations are caused by energetic changes after emotional clearing has taken place.

Advice: this is a sensitive topic, but you may feel better blessing your bed and space around it before you sleep. I rest assured that I am surrounded only by the most magnificent spiritual entities and am always safe in god's care. Sometimes, however, the fear gets to me, and I call in Archangel Michael and/or Archangel Uriel. I don't beat myself up for being afraid sometimes. I forgive myself for not always sovereign at 3:00 a.m.

28. Portents, visions, "illusions", numbers, and symbols

Seeing things that have spiritual importance for you. Noticing how numbers appear synchronistically in your awareness. Everything has a message if you take the time to look. I enjoy the experience of "getting the messages." What fun!

29. Increased integrity

You realize that it is time for you to seek and speak your truth. It suddenly seems important for you to become more authentic, more yourself. You may have to say "no" to people whom you have tried to please in the past. You may find it intolerable to stay in a marriage or job or place that doesn't support who you are. You may also find there is nowhere to hide, no secrets to keep anymore. Honesty becomes important in all your relationships.

Advice: listen to your heart. If your guidance tells you not to do something, speak up and take action. Say "no". Likewise, you must also say "yes" to that which compels you. You must risk displeasing others without guilt in order to attain spiritual sovereignty.

30. Harmony with seasons and cycles

You are becoming more tuned to the seasons, the phases of the moon and natural cycles. More awareness of your place in the natural world. A stronger connection to the earth.

31. Electrical and mechanical malfunctions

When you are around, lightbulbs flicker, the computer locks up, or the radio goes haywire.

Advice: call on your angels, guides, or Grace Elohim to fix it or put up a field of protection of light around the machine. Surround your car with blue light. Laugh.

32. Increased synchronicity and many small miracles.

Look for more of these.

Advice: synchronistic events tell you if you are heading in the right direction or making the correct choices. Honour these clues and you cannot go astray. Spirit uses synchronicity to communicate to you. That's when you begin to experience daily miracles. See 30.

33. Increased intuitive abilities and altered states of consciousness

Thinking of someone and immediately hearing from them. More synchronicities. Having sudden insights about patterns or events from the past. Clairvoyance, out-of-body experiences, and other psychic phenomena. Intensified sensitivity and knowing. Awareness of one's essence and that of others. Channelling angelic and Christ-consciousness energies.

34. Communication with spirit

Contact with angels, spirit guides, and other divine entities. Channelling. More and more people seem to be given this opportunity. Feeling inspiration and downloading information that takes form as writing, painting, ideas, communications, dance, etc.

35. A sense of oneness with all

A direct experience of this wholeness. Transcendent awareness. Being flooded with compassion and love for all life. Compassionate detachment or unconditional love for all is what lifts us up to higher levels of consciousness and joy.

36. Moments of joy and bliss

A deep abiding sense of peace and knowing that you are never alone.

Integration: you become emotionally, psychologically, physically, and spiritually stronger and clearer. You feel as if you are in alignment with your higher self.

37. Living your purpose

You know you are finally doing what you came to earth for. New skills and gifts are emerging, especially healing ones. Your life/work experiences are now converging and starting to make sense. You are finally going to use them all.

Advice: listen to your heart. Your passion leads you to where you must go. Go within and ask your higher power, "what is it you would have me do?" watch for synchronicities. Listen.

38. Feeling closer to animals and plants

To some people, animals now seem to be more "human" in their behaviour. Wild animals are less afraid. Plants respond to your love and attention more than ever. Some may even have messages for you.
39. Seeing beings of other dimensions

The veil between dimensions is thinner, so it is not surprising. Just stay in your sovereignty. You are more powerful than you can ever imagine, so do not entertain fear. Ask your guides for help if you slip into fear. Seeing a person's true form or seeing loved ones with a different face - past life or parallel life. Physically manifesting thoughts and desires more quickly and efficiently.

Advice: monitor your thoughts. All thoughts are prayers. Be careful what you ask for.

40. Left-brain fogginess

Your psychic abilities, your intuitive knowing, your feeling and compassion, your ability to experience your body, your visioning, your expressiveness all emanate from the right brain. In order for this side of the brain to develop more fully, the left brain must shut down a little bit. Normally the left-hemisphere's capacity for order, organization, structure, linear sequencing, analysis, evaluation, precision, focus, problem-solving, and mathematics dominate our often less-valued right brain. What results are memory lapses, placing words in the wrong sequence, inability or no desire to read for very long, inability to focus; forgetting what you are just about to say; impatience with linear forms of communication (audio or written formats); a feeling of spaciness, being scattered; losing interesting research or complex information; feeling bombarded with words and talk and information; and a reluctance to write. Sometimes you feel dull and have no interest in analysis, lively intellectual discussion, or investigation. On the other hand, you might find yourself drawn to the sensate: videos, magazines with photos, beautiful artwork, movies, music, sculpting, painting, being with people, dancing, gardening, walking, and other kinaesthetic forms of expression. You may search for spiritual content, even science fiction.

Advice: you may discover that if you allow your heart and your right brain to lead you, the left will then be activated appropriately to support you. And someday we will be well-balanced, using both hemispheres with mastery.

41. Dizziness

This occurs when you are ungrounded. Perhaps you have just cleared a big emotional issue and your body is adjusting to your "lighter" state.

Advice: ground yourself by eating protein. Sometimes "comfort food" feels right. Don't make any food right or wrong for you. Use your guidance to know what you need at any given moment. Take your shoes off and put your feet in the grass for a couple of minutes.

42. Falling, having accidents, breaking bones

Your body is not grounded or perhaps your life is out of balance. Or your body may be telling you to slow down, examine certain aspects of your life, or heal certain issues. There is always a message. When I recently broke my ankle, I understand that my ankle was taking on what I myself refused to deal with. And that was all of the above.

Advice: stay grounded by taking your shoes off and putting your feet in the grass; even better, lie down on the grass without a blanket under you. Feel the earth beneath you. Get out in nature. Slow down and pay attention. Be mindful about what you are doing. Feel your feelings when they come up. Stay in the present. Surround yourself with blue light when you are feeling shaky.

43. Heart palpitations

A racing heart usually accompanies a heart opening. It only lasts for a few moments and means that the heart is re-balancing itself after an emotional release. I had one episode that terrified me: I woke up in the middle of the night, my heart pounding. I thought it was going to come right out of my chest. It only happened once and was, I understand, a huge heart-chakra opening. But I did check it out. There is nothing wrong with my heart.

Advice: Remember what I said about getting medical attention when needed. Consult your doctor about any conditions you are not comfortable with.

44. Faster hair and nail growth

More protein is being used in the body. Too bad we can't tell the body where to grow the hair and where not to grow it. (or can we? Hmmm!) A desire to find your soulmate or twin flame. More than ever before, the idea that we can have a relationship that matches who we are seems more desirable.

Advice: the truth is, we have to be the kind of person we want to attract. We have to love ourselves and where we are right now before we can attract a more "perfect" mate. The work begins at home. Here is how I think it works: hold the desire for this person in your heart, but without attachment. Expect that someday you will meet someone who is more suited to you, but let go of any expectations as to who this will be and how it will happen. Focus instead on cleaning up your own life and being the kind of person you want to be. Be happy now. Enjoy your life. Then you may see ...

45. Memories surface

Body memories, suppressed memories, images of past lives and/or parallel lives. We are healing and integrating all our "selves", so expect to have some of these experiences.

Advice: keep in mind that it is best to recall what only what comes to mind,
leave the rest alone, don't analyze everything to death (because you will be stuck in the tape loop of infinite issues to process), and feel your feelings as they come up. Ask for help from your guides.

The big squeeze

Squeezing ... yes, I can definitely empathise with Karen Bishop's latest Energy Alert from 'What's Up On Planet Earth'. I should have had more faith that it wouldn't just have been me feeling this way ...

Greetings! On May 5, 2000, we experienced a phenomenal planetary alignment, when the sun, the moon, and five planets all lined up in the same area of the sky. I remember this time well, as many were eagerly waiting to see what this alignment would produce, how it would feel, and what it all meant.

For me, it was quite a surprise. In my little 3D mind, I naturally assumed that all would feel glorious, that we would be catapulted to a state of heavenly bliss, and we would finally arrive somewhere incredible indeed.

Instead, I experienced feelings of great pressure and an incredible squeezing. “Is this what alignment feels like?” I wondered. “Ugh! This is none too comfortable indeed!” And what we are currently experiencing is basically the same.

We are most assuredly being squeezed. And this squeezing is designed to force out anything that is not vibrating in alignment with the higher realms. Feelings of being caught in the middle of things, being surrounded by too much energy and activity, a pushing, pushing and tightness from above and below, feeling overloaded and overwhelmed, and wondering where one might go at all for some needed relief are signs of the squeezing phenomenon. We may feel boxed in at every turn, with no apparent viable solution that feels remotely right.

If you are one who is experiencing a squeezing feeling for no apparent reason in your life, you are most likely a sensitive who easily picks up on the current energies. But know as well, that the energies can also create physical manifestations that relate….therefore creating experiences in our lives that reflect being caught in the middle of things with great pressure, with an inability to seemingly breathe.

When the planetary alignment occurred in 2000, it reminded me of a spinal cord that was totally aligned, squeezing out anything that was in between, did not fit, and which there was no longer a space for. Our angel wings blossoming for sure. Hence, the squeezing feeling. So then, this is the way it is when we reach a higher vibration or dimension. Most things that are no longer necessary, will get squeezed out or pushed out. Other manifestations of this current phenomenon?

Having things get “partially resolved,” but not completed. Not getting a total closure. Having lower vibrating aspects of ourselves hit us squarely in the face. Having to deal with things we had not yet dealt with before. Making adjustments and having to really step up to the plate. But when we are willing and ready to make any necessary adjustments, then this means that the areas that need to be squeezed out will be squeezed out, and after we adjust and make a change, letting go of much of anything that does not vibrate of the purest and highest intentions and energies, things begin to smooth out.

When we reach the higher realms we truly do have to step up to the plate. Living in community means that even if we do indeed know what our special gift and contribution is, we have to do it well. We have to be it, express it, and take responsibility for it in all ways. We need to take our contributions seriously, because if we do not, we then jeopardize the whole.

With this latest shift upward and into yet another higher vibrating space, we again begin at the bottom rung. We start over, in essence, as we have gone as far as we could where we were before, in any given spiritual hierarchy. When we graduate to a higher vibrating community, everyone is on equal turf, so to speak. There are no leaders. Each individual has a vital and important contribution to make, and each individual must then, express their gifts with the highest responsibility and commitment required. It is a far more serious situation than I would have imagined, but rightfully so. So in this regard, we will be called on the carpet and held to task, humbled, and put in our places so that we can more easily and rightfully serve and contribute where we need to. All part of the squeezing effect. Squeezing out the peripheral energies and tendrils which no longer have a place.

The higher realms of community is not about floating on a cloud, basking all day, and eating those chocolate bon bons, as perhaps I may have hoped it would be in some way! Do we get to rest yet? I have to say, I wasn’t quite prepared for these new experiences, and hesitated a bit in reporting them, as they seemed so very harsh to me. And this new residency is bringing in some other manifestations as well.

Many are being handed their perfect “job,” or responsibility. The arena that we have dreamed about, just for us, is now available to many. In this regard, we have to again be ready to step up to the plate. Are you ready to take your designated responsibility seriously? Are enough of your lower vibrating “issues” or mis-perceptions cleared away so that you can operate in the most pure form, therefore benefiting those around you the most? Have you finally reached that space where you do not take things personally?

For those who are ready to go to their next level, there will still be opportunities that will arise for adjustments and “humblings” to occur, and even opportunities to “go back” until another opportunity arrives when each individual is more poised to match their chosen arena or space of contribution to the planet and the whole.

What does all this mean? For many, the waiting is over. It is time for the torch to be handed over to the creators of the New Planet Earth. Many will thus be given a palette, just waiting for each creator’s own individual blueprint to manifest upon it. It is then that our individual dreams and visions of how things could be, can now be brought into form.

But these new creations are not easily created in the old world, as it is most assuredly crashing and deteriorating at a rapid rate. Part of our roles and responsibilities involved transmuting darkness or lower and denser vibrating energy. This is why so many of us were born into situations of abuse and suffering, with much darkness present. It was our job to transmute the energies through ourselves. And this, then, is one of our entrance tickets to the higher realms. If you are one who has diligently and consciously worked at transmuting your own darkness (which is the darkness of the whole that we readily agreed to embody), then your admission to the next hierarchy is easily granted. In essence, we have to “earn” our way to the higher realms. So then, creating our own new spaces away from the old will be our salvation.

The energies are fairly intense now. They are doing their job in pushing out the old. Navigating these continuous storms and roller coaster rides will be the norm for many months to come. It can be increasingly difficult now to maintain our center, but with the help of community and our brothers and sisters, things can ease a bit. The beauty of disaster is that it tends to bring individuals close together. There will be much more of this in times to come. No more hiding away behind closed doors…we will be navigating now toward others with similar vibration and purpose. And we will be called upon for help.

Yes, deep rumblings are now ever present, reflecting movement at the deepest levels, even though not much is manifesting right now. It may seem quiet in a strangely eerie way, but much is occurring at other levels. The seeming stillness is present to give us time to continue setting up and preparing for our settling in time in January. Much will be in order by then, as we find ourselves settled into our very new spaces … www.whatsuponplanetearth.com

Wishing you Heaven in your heart, starlight in your soul, and miracles in your life in these miraculous times.

Until next time,

The Awakening

A time comes in your life when you finally get it...when, in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out - ENOUGH!

Enough fighting and crying or struggling to hold on. And, like a child quieting down after a blind tantrum, your sobs begin to subside, you shudder once or twice, you blink back your tears and begin to look at the world through new eyes. This is your awakening.

You realize it's time to stop hoping and waiting for some-thing to change...or for happiness, safety and security to come galloping over the next horizon.

You come to terms with the fact that you are neither Prince Charming nor Cinderella and that in the real world there aren't always fairy tale endings (or beginnings for that matter) and that any guarantee of "happily ever after" must begin with you and in the process a sense of serenity is born of acceptance.

You awaken to the fact that you are not perfect and that not everyone will always love, appreciate or approve of who or what you are ... and that's OK.

They are entitled to their own views and opinions. And you learn the importance of loving and championing yourself...and in the process a sense of new found confidence is born of self-approval.

You stop complaining and blaming other people for the things they did to you (or didn't do for you) and you learn that the only thing you can really count on is the unexpected.

You learn that people don't always say what they mean or mean what they say and that not everyone will always be there for you and that it's not always about you.

So, you learn to stand on your own and to take care of yourself and in the process a sense of safety and security is born of self- reliance.

You stop judging and pointing fingers and you begin to accept people as they are and to overlook their shortcomings and human frailties…and in the process a sense of peace and contentment are born of forgiveness.

You realize that much of the way you view yourself, and the world around you, is as a result of all the messages and opinions that have been ingrained into your psyche. And you begin to sift through all the junk you've been fed about how you should behave, how you should look, how much you should weigh, what you should wear, what you should do for a living, how much money you should make, what you should drive, how and where you should live, who you should marry, the importance of having and raising children, and what you owe your parents, family, and friends.

You learn to open up to new worlds and different points of view. And you begin reassessing and redefining who you are and what you really stand for.

You learn the difference between wanting and needing and you begin to discard the doctrines and values you've outgrown, or should never have bought into to begin with and in the process you learn to go with your instincts.

You learn that it is truly in giving that we receive. And that there is power and glory in creating and contributing and you stop manoeuvring through life merely as a "consumer" looking for your next fix.

You learn that principles such as honesty and integrity are not the outdated ideals of a bygone era but the mortar that holds together the foundation upon which you must build a life.

You learn that you don't know everything, it's not your job to save the world and that you can't teach a pig to sing.

You learn to distinguish between guilt and responsibility and the importance of setting boundaries and learning to say NO.

You learn that the only cross to bear is the one you choose to carry and that martyrs get burned at the stake.

Then you learn about love. How to love, how much to give in love, when to stop giving and when to walk away.

You learn to look at relationships as they really are and not as you would have them be.

You stop trying to control people, situations and outcomes.

And you learn that alone does not mean lonely.

You also stop working so hard at putting your feelings aside, smoothing things over and ignoring your needs.

You learn that feelings of entitlement are perfectly OK and that it is your right to want things and to ask for the things you want and that sometimes it is necessary to make demands.

You come to the realization that you deserve to be treated with love, kindness, sensitivity and respect and you won't settle for less.

And you learn that your body really is your temple. And you begin to care for it and treat it with respect. You begin to eat a balanced diet, drink more water, and take more time to exercise.

You learn that being tired fuels doubt, fear, and uncertainty and so you take more time to rest. And, just as food fuels the body, laughter fuels our soul. So you take more time to laugh and to play.

You learn that, for the most part, you get in life what you believe you deserve...and that much of life truly is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You learn that anything worth achieving is worth working for and that wishing for something to happen is different than working toward making it happen.

More importantly, you learn that in order to achieve success you need direction, discipline and perseverance.

You also learn that no one can do it all alone...and that it's OK to risk asking for help.

You learn the only thing you must truly fear is the greatest robber baron of all: FEAR itself.

You learn to step right into and through your fears because you know that whatever happens you can handle it and to give in to fear is to give away the right to live life on your own terms.

And you learn to fight for your life and not to squander it, living under a cloud of impending doom.

You learn that life isn't always fair, you don't always get what you think you deserve and that sometimes bad things happen to unsuspecting, good people. On these occasions you learn not to personalize things.

You learn that God isn't punishing you or failing to answer your prayers. It's just life happening.

And you learn to deal with evil in its most primal state - the ego.

You learn that negative feelings such as anger, envy and resentment must be understood and redirected or they will suffocate the life out of you and poison the universe that surrounds you.

You learn to admit when you are wrong and to build bridges instead of walls.

You learn to be thankful and to take comfort in many of the simple things we take for granted, things that millions of people upon the earth can only dream about: a full refrigerator, clean running water, a soft warm bed, a long hot shower.

Slowly, you begin to take responsibility for yourself by yourself and you make yourself a promise to never betray yourself and to never, ever settle for less than your heart's desire.

And you hang a wind chime outside your window so you can listen to the wind.

And you make it a point to keep smiling, to keep trusting, and to stay open to every wonderful possibility.

Finally, with courage in your heart and God by your side you take a stand, you take a deep breath, and you begin to design the life you want to live as best you can.

Choosing your friends ...

Have you ever come away from an evening with a particular friend and felt quite low on energy, or maybe even despondent? Surround yourself with people who have positive energies and watch the dramatic effects it has on you and your life!

You Are Who Your Friends Are
by Jack Canfield

It's important to acknowledge the power of positive thinking. This goes not only for yourself, but also for the people you surround yourself with.

Attitudes are catchy. Whether they're positive or negative, they're rubbing off on you. If you're around people who complain, judge, spread negative gossip, blame others, and play victim roles, chances are you do, too. (ouch!)

Who are you around most? Are they achieving their dreams or complaining about their circumstances? Do they look up to others who are go-getters and high achievers, or do they make fun of them and roll their eyes? How do they treat you?

If you're spending time with people who don't support your dreams and goals, it's seriously time to look at whom you call your friends!

Successful people surround themselves with successful people. Plain and simple. They want to be around others who're achieving goals and making things happen. They want to know their secrets and strategies for winning. They're not embarrassed to be hanging out with people who are studying for success and making good money.

You, too, need to surround youself with positive influences. Join the clubs that other successful people are in, learn what they're learning. It doesn't matter from what walk of lifeyou are coming from. Show up and transform youself into an acheiver! Success isn't just for those who have had it easy, who came from supportive homes or had expensive educations. They're are so many successful people who rose up from very poor conditions and and overcame obstacles to acheive the goals they set their sights on.

But they didn't get there by hanging out with negative energy-drainers!

Have you been limiting your success by letting yourself be influenced by other people's negative energy? Make a list of all the people you spend time with and make a note of the kind of personality they have. How many negative people are you around every day? How many people on your list are achieving their dreams, supporting yours and taking responsibility for their lives? You're better off spending time alone than with people who hold themselves back with a victim mentality.

Simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Join the clubs that will put you in with a positive circle of friends. Set a new standard for yourself and don't become friends with people who fall below that standard. Invite your old friends to come with you and you'll know who has potential and who to stop being around entirely.

You have to take responsibility for this area of your life. Look around you at the people you call friends. Does it make you proud? Are you selling yourself short? Or are you on the right track?

Keep successful people around you and you will be successful! Be around people who can accomplish their goals and you will accomplish yours, too! The choice is yours to make.

Soul Blossoming - Be as A Butterfly

WHY NOT LIVE AS THOUGH each moment could be our last? Then wouldn't everything that happens in time become delicate, refined, transparent; every sight and smell, every encounter become sacred? Wouldn't everything reveal itself as so fragile that our heart would open? That is what the enlightened heart is: total openness without fear to the deep-felt impermanence of life.

When we review the events of this life on the cosmic videotape, the cosmic "instant replay", we will see how unaware we often were of the true importance of things. We often wanted things so much that we didn't even notice how much quality of life we gave up and how much peace of mind we sacrificed in order to have cellular phones, televisions in every room, new cars - all the things that count for ZERO in the deeper, eternal part of ourselves.

The things that matter the most in our lives are not fantastic and grand. They are the moments when we touch one another, when we are there in the most attentive and caring way.

When we come to the end of our lives and look back, the questions we will not usually ask are, How much is in my bank account? or What did I build? or the like. The questions most likely to be asked are very simple:

Did I love well?

Did I live fully?

Did I learn to let go?

Did I learn to forgive and live from spirit of the heart instead of the spirit of judgment?

Ultimately, our true contribution to life is the love we add to the world. Everything else comes and goes. Sharing our love will happen spontaneously among us when we allow ourselves to be simple and real and to live fully in the present moment.

Emerging Butterflies

As we begin a new year, our thoughts naturally go to new beginnings and transformations. One of the best metaphors for this is the metamorphosis of the caterpillar into a butterfly.

The caterpillar encases itself and is forced into a dark small area where it cannot be distracted by anything. No longer can the sun and rain enter its world. It is alone in the darkness wrapped in what it has spun from inside. Only by facing the darkness does the caterpillar's body begin to spread out and its light, beautiful wings begin to form.

The caterpillar must shed its last attachment to the dark, cramped space it has gotten used to - a form of familiar comfort - and begin breaking through the barrier of self in which it has wrapped itself. It doesn't have a clue what lies beyond, but it responds to a higher calling anyway.

If a human helps the butterfly break through the cocoon, it will never fly. Only by finding the strength to break through the last attachment can this delicate being with a body so light and fragile, fly free.

If a caterpillar were given a choice, it might remain in its cocoon where everything is comfortable and familiar rather than coming out to be a butterfly. The caterpillar does not comprehend what it is becoming. We are in a similar predicament. We spend our time and energy trying to improve the cocoon, a little paint here, some wallpaper there, and we will have a great looking cocoon. We don't realize we are growing into something that will have the freedom to fly away in perfect bliss. Someday we will outgrow our present condition and have wings that will take us to heights we cannot imagine at the present time.

All of life is preparation for transition from one state to another, from one circumstance to another. The winds of change may come as a fierce hurricane ripping our life asunder or as a tender breeze that caresses our cheeks.

Honoring the truth of change allows our experience of darkness to be part of the greater whole. It asks the heart to be present and trust at deeper and deeper levels. It asks us to risk becoming butterflies while still in our cocoons.

I hooted with laughter when I read this recent channelling from The Guardians ... but I thought it also had a very true message to tell, hence me posting it here to share with you all

I felt that the fourth paragraph was particularly appropriate for me at this moment on my lifepath!

Message From The Guardians: Through Laura

November 3, 2007

* * * * *

Blessings one and all...

Around and around you go and where you stop no one knows! Dear ones are you getting a bit dizzy? [Laughter]

We watch you spin around and around on your world. We see you twirl on your own center and wonder when you will stop spinning and just accept that constant change is the nature of being a Human Being!

Blessed Angels of Earth, we are not making fun of you, we are just trying to help you see the futility of your struggle to resist the changes that are happening all around you and for that matter in you. Some of you are causing yourselves much more pain and anguish than is necessary. These are indeed challenging times for all on the Planet Earth but it is not necessary to be creating even more turmoil for yourself by constantly pushing against the changing aspects of your lives. It is often very difficult to see the purpose or incredible gifts of a particular situation when you are standing knee deep in it. We would suggest that in moments of turmoil and frustration you take a few deep breathes and stand back from the situation and use your position of the "observer" to gain a better perspective on your own situation.

In this way you will be able to gain more insight into what is really going on and the benefits it will provide for you in the long run! Remember Dear Ones, you are on Earth to grow and evolve not to chase all the goals and objectives you have been taught by your parents, teachers and cultures. If you are measuring your progress by the standards you have been taught by other Humans you will always find yourself lacking and become disillusioned and depressed. Life in the physical is not about the things others would choose for you but about the choices you make for yourself. Stop comparing yourself to everyone else around you and decide what "you" really want your own life to look like. What are your dreams, your passions and your goals? Who cares if they don't match up with what your society is tell you to be and do?

You are a Human Being not a Human Doing! Stop racing around trying to be what everyone else wants you to be and start really looking at what it is you wish to BE! If those choices don't fit in with what the people around you are doing, find some people of like mind to be around or "just do your own thing".

The 60's were not that long ago for a lot of you. Do you remember what it was like to free yourself of the burden of other peoples expectations of you? There was much wisdom from that time which has been forgotten and the real tragedy is the ones that discovered the wisdom were the first ones to forget all about it. [Laughter]

Why do you think the new generations are so retro focused, wanting to emulate a lot of the styles, music and energy of the period of the 60's and early 70's? There in lies a great key to the new generation of young people emerging now. Look at the rising number of peace protests, the young turning away from traditional education systems, the defiance of authority figures and institutions. Any of this sound familiar Baby Boomers? It may be time to dig out those tie died T-Shirts again, metaphorically speaking of course. [Laughter] If that is what it takes for you to regain the energies and wisdom of that period, then by all means throw in a head band if you need to!

The 60's and early 70's were a period of experimentation when a short burst of the New Energies were sent to Earth to help initiate the changes that are going on in your world today. A powerful seed was planted that has just recently began to germinate in a profound manner, especially in the west. This will grow and encompass your whole planet, as you are now truly living in a global community.

We will tell you a well kept secret. There is a unique group of souls that were not really part of what you consider the 60"s flower children because these are the ones that were born in the early 60's just as this powerful burst of New Energy was delivered to Earth. They rode the wave in so to speak and they will have a profound affect on your world in the coming years. They are what you would consider the youngest of the Baby Boomer generation and in fact are quite different from them. They are the bridge, the linkage between that generation and the New Children that started to arrive after that. They are the forerunners of all the New Children you think of as so special. They are the guardians of this new generation and have held the door open for these children to arrive, some at great cost. They will begin taking on new roles and priorities in the next few years and their voices will be heard in new and exciting ways. Watch for them, they will now become very easy to recognize. Some are the parents of New Children and others have chosen very different roles in which to be of service but all are connected in a very special way. That is all we will share with you at this time.

We hold you close to our Heart of Hearts and ask you to do the same for each other in these challenging times.

Blessings one and all...

The Guardians
