Living outside your story

Greetings! We are so honored to once again serve the physical aspect of our spiritual family. We bow before those who volunteered and have chosen to be at the forefront of change, altering potentials that do not honor the sacredness of life. These times offer such a dramatic view of a reality in transition. Indeed, all of life is constantly changing and there are also cycles that encourage profound shifts. You, beloved human, are serving such a cycle with your presence here on Earth.

Your Olympics provided a stage for how this transition is changing your world. While athletes performed, a new door to freedom was opened in the land called China. She opened herself to your world community with a deep sense of pride for all that she has accomplished. The willingness to freely express a love for life opens the hearts and minds of humanity, restoring a sense of trust and well being. Living alongside this fresh wind of change is also the history of this land. It is now faced with a very important question, can freedom be contained? Can such a freedom that allows full expression of the human spirit be realized within your personal and collective story?

Shortly after your Olympics, the world was treated with another emerging voice for change in the U.S. democratic convention. A dynamic speech was giving on behalf of a new, emerging culture within a country that has been granted the honor to model true freedom. As millions listened to this voice for change, humanity paused for a moment, experienced the joy of such a potential and the fear that such a life will not be chosen. Many have spoken in your past on behalf of freedom with the same clouds of fear lingering above their voices. Many of you ask, what can we do as individuals to support and empower the birthing of this inherent right for all people on Earth.

We have talked for some time of how your service to humanity included fully immersing yourself into the drama/trauma of human affairs. That experience helped to form a unique human identity that also forged a bond with your planetary family. A time would come in your life when you would awaken from that experience and would break this bond that has kept you separate from your true identity. You have called this shift a spiritual awakening and we come to remind you once again that time is happening - now!

Dear reader, you did not incarnate on Earth to only experience the limitations of your past. You volunteered to demonstrate how a human being can free itself from these polarized, internal issues by walking outside the story of your life. Very few individuals have taken that walk and never before has a collective group chosen to walk this together. Many of you still wonder why we, your angelic family insist on kissing your feet. Many of us have never experienced being separate from source. We cannot imagine how painful that must be and yet here you are, reclaiming that relationship with your own soul nature in service to humanity that allows them to make a choice. A choice that they must make for them self.

2008 represents enormous opportunities that will energetically support your intention to experience the expanded version of YOU. By itself, 2008 will simply be another year on your human calendar. The many benefits this year has to offer resides in your willingness to challenge your own story. Trusting in the fragile nature of a new belief that suggests life ”wants” to serve you. It is waiting at this moment to serve your hearts desire but you must consciously choose how “you” want to be served.

Now, we often hear, how do we accomplish this? We suggest you begin by asking yourself, how would you like life to support you? How would YOU like to feel about life? If you could choose how you wanted to feel, what would you choose? Was there a time in your life when you experienced joy? If not, can you imagine how that would feel? See if you can bring that feeling back to you at this moment. We are inviting you to become so vulnerable, so open to the possibility that joy is real. Begin to breath the energy of that feeling into your body with every breathe you take. You might notice a change within a few minutes or it might take all day. Continue breathing no matter what comes up. You often say to us that if it is truly this simple, why are there so few living their life in joy and abundance? Indeed, excellent question! Lets shed some more light on the choice before you.

Conscious breathing places you in the moment, with very little effort. This simple but profound shift in your attention to your breath will establish a new foundation of support that will also serve to work with all those feelings that have nothing to do with joy. Using your breath as a point of focus to “claim” how you want to feel will naturally change your relationship with all of life in a dramatic fashion. Your feelings represent the ”being” part of you.

The work shows up when your story begins to interfere with this process, resisting the change and attempting to distract you with thoughts that live outside of joy. Fortunately, your story does not have the power to stop your breath. With a little practice, this moment will become just as real as your past. You will rediscover the joy of feeling your soul nature. Being in this moment puts you outside the story of your life. There is nothing wrong with your story but over time you begin to realize that it doesn’t know how to dance with the immense presence of your soul. It feels inadequate, clumsy and awkward.

2008 represents an opening for change. It will not be the only opening but it does offer an ideal time to reclaim your core identity. Many of you have worked so hard to experience the true nature of your soul and will naturally ask, could it really be this simple? Choose to feel alive, breath that feeling into your body, continue breathing and go live your life? Hmm! Not much drama involved in this new story and very little trauma from feeling unworthy or undeserving. In fact many would describe being in the moment as also being boring. The presence of joy has the capacity to unify life including the many aspects of your soul that reside throughout all of creation. Many of you will begin to feel that your life also serve’s a much bigger picture. Reuniting these aspects of your soul is your galactic service.

Now, there is nothing to feed the anxiety of your story when you choose to place your attention on your breath. We repeat, conscious breathing does not rely on your past to support itself. It will naturally blend with Christ consciousness. As we look at all the support networks that have been put in place to accommodate your story and it’s need to feed on life, we feel a great deal of compassion for all of you that have chosen to awaken from this dream. This will be an enormous transition that will most likely frighten your human personality, for it has no experience of a united consciousness. Self love continues to play such a vital role in this transition.

You, dear reader, volunteered to inspire your human family to walk and live outside their own story. Your human nature will proclaim that we, your non physical family, must be mistaken. Surely there are others far more qualified than yourself to represent this radical, new freedom. We know who we are speaking too. The teachers on Earth at this time are all proclaiming the same words - this is your time! You already sense or feel the unsettling energies of humanity as they begin to question, collectively, their own freedom. The majority of people will most likely sit with these feelings until 2009 which invites an outward expression of these inner questions. 2012 represents an opportunity for every human being to make a choice. Freedom is your birthright, claim it within yourself to serve your external conflicts .

Some believe their freedom is being withheld by others and will choose to confront or oppose those outside of them self. Your history is full of these conflicts. Humanity has worked very hard to achieve a sense of equality for all of its world citizens. We are inviting each of you to ignite the same passion and attention you place on events outside of yourself to your own inner process. Thoughts that continue to reinforce your old story deny YOU your freedom on a daily basis. The freedom to be a conscious, co-creator does not exist in the story of humanities past. True freedom comes from “knowing” that you have the ability to experience life as you desire that for yourself. Life has no choice but to serve and reflect the energy of your life based on how you “feel” about your life.

2008 is a prime time to live again as you have never lived before. If you are feeling frustrated by the lack of changes in your life, make choices that challenge your story. That story can become very hypnotic by denying the value of trust and the virtue of change. Now is not the time to procrastinate. This moment, right now is why you incarnated. Celebrate it!!

Together, we promised to come back into your life to remind you of the choice that is now before you. No matter your choice, we will continue to serve you with all our love. Can you feel the warmth of your spiritual family waiting to embrace you and the joy of your own divinity waiting to ignite a new passion for living. You have endured and survived the pain of love being withheld as a human being. That qualifies you to now serve the wounded heart of your human family. You already know your story cannot serve the immense presence of your soul. It has never experienced unconditional love. The clarity and confidence you desire will build with every breath and with every intention to consciously breath joy back into your life. Kicking and screaming, your human personality will learn to trust in your soul’s ability to create a fulfilling and rewarding life.

The curtains are rising to reveal part two of this grand play of consciousness on Earth. Humanity doesn’t recognize this new act. It is being performed by familiar faces with a profound new joy in their hearts. Sitting in the seats alongside humanity is the presence of many spiritual families who are also waiting to see who and what is behind the curtains. How does the divine nature of a soul in a human body express itself? Everyone is holding their breath as the new actors take the stage. All of life is waiting on your next choice and I, Michael along with many others have been invited to play alongside each of you. Suddenly, a voice behind the curtains proclaims, “I choose joy!” Fireworks explode, the curtain fully rises revealing the new players on Earth and finally, finally the new story begins! Welcome to the second coming beloved's and you thought someone else would be playing your part - silly human!

All our love,
Michael/Yeshua

Living Through Truth

When we live through our spiritual authority many opportunities to balance our energies, heal lifetimes of karma and transform our reality are available to us. One of those is the opportunity to live through the truth, to know ourselves from our spiritual truth, to realize our mission in the world, understand our gifts and talents and to move toward the possibility of a joyful, peaceful, abundant life. When we access life from our spiritual authority we accept responsibility for our reality and every aspect of it. As we move farther into this responsibility we begin to uncover the truth, what it means to us and how it works in our life. And we can discover that what we have long held as truth was not true at all.

There is a big difference between the Truth, as in spiritual truth and the truth, as in material truth. Spiritual truth holds no judgments or criticisms, is completely detached from any outcome and holds one belief, we are perfect in every way. Material truth is where we have judgments, criticisms, are attached to outcomes and expectations, and believe that we are imperfect beings seeking perfection, which we will never be able to achieve because of our inherent imperfection. Material truth is what holds us in our karmic experiences, our feelings of inadequacy, powerlessness, unworthiness and fear.


If the spiritual Truth is what has been true for us all along, why has it taken us so long to begin to understand it? After all, we are spiritual beings having a human experience, so the spiritual truth should be obvious to us. And it is, hidden behind the veil of our human beliefs, perceptions and understandings. Our human journey is about transcending the veil, lifting the illusion and creating a bridge between the spiritual and material worlds. We came here to do this work and now that we have done it we can begin to accept the spiritual Truth and learn to live it, instead of the material truth that has been the guiding force of our lifetimes of existence.


Although the spiritual Truth is so much more pleasant and fulfilling that the material truth, it is very difficult for us to believe that it can be our truth. Too often we have many examples of material truth in our life and not many of spiritual Truth. Our world, which we believe is true, often reflects the fear, lack of abundance and spiritual poverty that we accept as truth. And when we live with a truth that is focused on lack and fear every aspect of our reality reflects that. Material truth tells us that we must struggle and suffer, are imperfect, can’t create what we want and these are the beliefs we must overcome to create the reality that Spirit tells us is the real Truth. But how do we cross that bridge?


We can start by remembering that spiritual Truth reflects the will of Creator in our life, that we have peace, joy and abundance. This Truth flows to us from the Universe and when it gets to the material plane it becomes distorted as it is filtered through what we believe to be true about ourselves, a truth that is based on our material world experience. This material experience causes us to ask questions like ‘Why does God allow this to happen’ or ‘I am not worth of more’. Turning from material to spiritual truth can be as easy as turning the page of a book or waking from a nightmare to the dawn of a bright and promising new day.


It is our free will that allows us to accept material truth as being our truth and that same free will can open our eyes to the beauty of spiritual Truth, that we are indeed spiritual beings, with the authority to create the reality that we desire, for ourselves and for the world. What we then learn is that there is only spiritual Truth, that material truth is a small reflection of the beauty, joy, unconditional love and peace that is ours by simply acknowledging ourselves as part of a loving Creator whose will has always been for us to accept and live through the Truth.

Energies in September

Energetically, September will bring much in the way of change to your life. You will experience tumultuous times ahead but by the fall of 2009, you'll look back and realize that it all began with the choice(s) you set into motion as early as right now.

If you are fully in your heart as you make your choice, you will sail right on through your creation cycle, while others around you are grasping at straws, or having to change their course or regroup.

If you are being pushed or pulled apart in present moment, its best to take a break; step back and away from what you have created to gain perspective.

Allow your mind to settle before you push onward. If pushing at all is a part of your creation, stop and regroup.

Allowing is the way to create within the stillness of your very own heart. Allow your heart be guided by the forces of nature.

There is rhyme and reason for the flow that is coming into the planet now in waves.

These waves can be tsunamis at times. But even walls of energy find land at some point. Be in a position to allow-allow your heart to be your guide. You will find that as you do, the rest will feel like a flowing river of stillness by comparison.

September 2008 energies

What energies and experiences can we expect in September of 2008?

We will use the phrase, "intermittent integration" to describe the way this month is likely to work. The energy of September is primarily one of integration; however as you are going through this process of integration, you are also moving at an incredibly rapid speed and taking in new information. We refer to moving as a metaphor; you are not literally moving through space faster than you were before, but you are moving through your lives, reality, events, information, experiences and growth. All of it is coming to you, and through you, faster than ever before. This means that you are presented with a challenge to both integrate all you have experienced since May, and to take in a great deal of new information as you go during September of 2008. This is a direct extension of the expansion we have discussed in July and August. This expansion continues in September and into October, but each month has a different tenor because the expansion is a process, and the process has stages.


In September, it is vitally important that you take time to integrate what you have learned, to take time to reflect on what has occurred in your personal lives and in the world as a whole over the course of the summer, and to draw lines between various events - to find meaning in the connections between things that did not seem connected upon first glance. The process of integration is one in which you see things anew -- you see them from a more holistic point of view and you find a new meaning based on reflection that going through exercises that facilitate integration during September will serve you immensely well. At the same time, you will be taking in new information and you will be struggling sometimes to catch up with all that is moving by you.


It may be possible that you will feel overwhelmed in September of 2008. Please know that your spiritual and physical support system has increased this month, even as you have the unique challenge to both take in new information and integrate prior information. You have the support you need to do this, but it will require that you stay awake and pay attention to your thoughts, your words, and your actions this month. Many of you already know how to do this well. Just think of what it is like for someone who is a parent to a young child as well as a business owner, or someone who manages a restaurant who sometimes jumps in to wait tables even as part of them is still aware of the overall scene from a managerial perspective. Having that ability we have discussed in previous channelings this summer, the ability to both engage in what you are doing and watch it from afar and above, will serve you very well in September.


Overall the energy is a reassuring kind of energy. While energy and events are expanding and you are presented with this challenge of multitasking, you are not being presented with a lot of chaos. Order will reign this month if you will give time for reflection and integration of what you have learned along the way. You are not even being presented with much change. You are taking in a great deal of new information but it seems it will be information that is in alignment with the directions you have taken in your lives. There is no need in September to drop everything and start again. It is fine to enter new beginnings if they are happening naturally, but for the most part you can continue on what you have been doing with your inner eye or attention turned to an overall reflection of where you have been since May and where you want to be going. It is an expansive energy; it is an energy in growth but it is simply a stage in growth in which you stop and you reorient yourselves rather than running forward so quickly.


How can we best work with the energy in September of 2008?

We will present two exercises that will be beneficial for you this month. One is to really engage your personal discernment skills -- the ways by which you determine what belongs in your life and what does not. The more fluidly and rapidly you can respond to what you know, the more easily you will move through September. In other words, if someone invites you to a social event and immediately in your heart you know that you do not want to go or that you are not interested, resist the urge to say "maybe" and instead just say "no." Take it off your plate; eliminate any variables or loose strings in your social relationships, in your planning calendar, in your work commitments. Do not bother saying maybe. In September -- when it comes to everyday events, promises, or decisions -- do not leave a maybe hanging. Instead, sit down, listen to your gut instinct, decide yes or no, and act on that decision. You will be so well served by eliminating any wasted time that you may have otherwise spent on drawing out a decision or pretending to be interested in something that you are not really interested in. It is better in September that you keep your attention free and clear for the integration process, that active process of reflection, rather than hanging in procrastination or in unmade decisions.


The second exercise is one that is similar to an exercise that the Keepers presented in the Vernal Equinox reading - the exercise of the Truth List (this can be heard on Ascension Radio for members of Akashic Transformations). The Truth List Exercise will be useful this month, as will the following modification. During September 2008, it would serve each of you if you will take time every day to sit down with a notepad and a piece of paper, or with your Palm Pilot or similar tool, and make a list of unfinished business. This will include anything from telling a friend how you have been feeling to making a phone call at work, or from weeding your garden to getting an extra hour of sleep each night. This can be in regard to anything; anything that you have lingering in your mind that needs to be done and is not done yet. You can think of it as a task list, but one that is generalized for your entire life so that calling your mother might be right next to weeding the garden or quitting your job. It must include both tasks to be done and ideas or shifts to be integrated into your life.


After creating this list, take the top three items on the list that stand out to you the most -- whether because they feel the most pressing, or because they have an external deadline, or simply because they draw your interest for some unknown reason. Take the three items that draw your attention most strongly and then list those separately or circle them. Sit quietly for a moment and ask yourselves three questions. First, ask yourself, "What do I really want to do in my heart with this?" Second, "What is difficult for me in this situation? What keeps me from moving forward in this situation?" And, third, "When have I felt this way before? In what situations have I seen myself behave this way before?" Specifically if you can, try to think of a time between May of 2008 and now. Look at the last three or four months and see if some of the experiences you have gone through in the last few months reveal a pattern that has lead you to the current item on the list. Just taking a few moments to reflect on these three questions is all you need to do.


If you will do those three questions for each of the three primary items on your list every single day, you are going to find that the list gets smaller. Many things will resolve themselves in your life, even if there are things on the list that you never got around to reflection on, you will find that much of your life comes into alignment with itself. You become a more efficient engine so to speak, so that you burn less fuel but you get further in your work, in your life, and anywhere you want to go. If you will do this exercise each day, it may take up to 20 minutes, but once you get the hang of it you will be able to do it in five or ten minutes. This will make an enormous difference for you in September of 2008.


Are there any power days or important days in September of 2008?

September 8 is very important; it is like a portal or a gateway - it is a Stargate. If you pay attention, you will find that a huge bubble of cosmic energy becomes available to Planet Earth on September 8. This energy provides healing and appears to be some sort of an anchor situated in the middle of the hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean. It is an incredibly grounding force. Imagine holding a round, smooth stone in your hand - a stone that is large enough to fill your palm. Imagine the weight of the stone and the way it can fill your hand, the way it can ground everything, the way that roundness brings a sense of completion as your fingers wrap around it. Sense that weight as gravity pulls the stone downward. That is the kind of grounding energy of September 8 of 2008.


This can be an enormous gift for those of you who are working on integration in the first week of September; you will find that this day is really beneficial. It can seem like a day where you get three or four extra hours somehow. You find you are able to get much more done. If on the other hand you are a person who has not quite found their center yet, if you spend the first week of September running from here to there, rushing through things rather than slowing down and trying to integrate what you have learned, you are going to find that September 8 feels like it hits you like a stone in the head -- like running into a boulder in your path. You may find that you suddenly feel drastically slowed down. Watch for this day. Do not concern yourselves if it is a difficult day; do not imagine that you are doing something wrong. This is a very beneficial energy. It is here to help you slow down so that you do not miss the vital opportunity September offers to integrate the enormous expansion that you have gone through in the summer.


If you do not take time to integrate this now, you will find that you need to relearn all of the lessons that are available for you. It is like each of you is sitting with your life lessons right there before you. In September, if you will stop and slow down and take a look, you will be able to work through ten times more of your life's work in just this month than what might have taken years otherwise. On the other hand, if you keep dashing through and rushing yourself and not sitting down to integrate your life lessons, then you will find in September you just feel more and more chaotic. You will feel more ungrounded, uncentered, and even a little bit lost. Take the gift of September 8 as an opportunity to slow down, to feel the ground beneath your feet, and to come to terms with yourself in a new way. It is a great day for journaling, sleeping, having a heart-to-heart with a friend, or taking a long walk in silence and giving your mind some time to process all of the loose ends hanging.


The next days that are important are September 12 and 13. They are a touchstone. In part this is in relationship to the tradition of September 11, but the energy this year is a strong healing energy. The energy of the perfect balance between male and female is carried over and available to you on September 12 and 13. These are very good days to reach out to your fellow human beings and to get closer to the people in your life. This is a very, very good day to have a heart-to-heart with a friend or to meet new people. Any activity involving community or relationship on September 12 and 13 will be beneficial.


September 17 is a shining, twinkling star. This is a day when most of you will have an opportunity to be in closer touch with your own higher guidance. This is a good day for listening to Spirit, to your heart, and to your intuition for signs and directions. If you have any questions in your life, something that you just cannot find the answer to or continually feel unresolved about, take that question into the day. When you go to bed on September 16, write down that question and lay it by your bedside and allow yourself to dream about it. Then take that question, put it in your pocket, take it with you throughout the day and consider the question. This is a day when the veil between you and the Akashic Records is thinner than it usually is. This is a great day for seeking divine guidance and trusting what you get or what comes to mind.


September 22 is a day where it is important to get things done. It is a very productive day. It will be important that on the 22 you buckle down and get things done. Do not waste time. You will find yourself wanting to drift into daydream, but you will find it useful on September 22 to make a list of things to do work through and finish. Seek a sense of accomplishment on this day.


Finally, September 25 through September 29 is when you will really have the energy of the equinox. Even though the equinox occurs a bit earlier, the true energy of the equinox will come in through a window of time from the 25 through the 29. It is a window of equilibrium for Planet Earth and it is equilibrium for any of you who need it. During these days, watch for what in your life seems to be off balance and find ways -- actively pursue activities, relationships; commitments -- that bring you back into balance. For instance, if you find that you are spending too much time at work, actively commit or create something else in your life that is not work that draws your time and attention to bring you back into balance. It is a good time for a balance check-up. It is like a spiritual engine tune-up between September 25 and 29.


Is there anything else that the Spirit Guides want to tell us about September of 2008?

Because the expansion continues but now you have gotten more grounded in what it will look like for you personally, the energy of this month will be helpful to continually asses what you are resisting and do your best to let go of that resistance. If a friend keeps calling you and you find yourself not calling them back, stop and ask yourself "What am I resisting here? What am I avoiding and how can I let that go? How can I embrace what is coming to me?" This month, more than most months, you can trust that what you have set in motion is just right for you at this time. You do not need to struggle so hard to steer your lives; instead, stop and ask yourself, "What is happening. How can I adjust it slightly?" Rather than trying to grab the steering wheel and yank it in an entirely new direction, try to work with whatever sits in your path now.


You set your intentions in the spring whether you knew it or not, and you stepped into this really expansive energy during the summer that is bringing your intentions to fruition. It has taken you some time to adjust. By now, in September, you have adjusted to what is here so all you need to do is sit back and keep your eyes open and keep thinking and assessing what you see, hear, feel, sense, and what you know. Keep asking yourself, "What more? What other information is available?" If you will do that in September, you will find that the big karma of your life is available to be cleared now more easily than ever. It can be a very productive month. That productivity is likely to be very nonlinear, so again, do not resist. Do not try to control; instead just look carefully and openly at everything that comes to you. Accept it and work with it from there and you will find that this is a very exciting month.


For many of you, it will be a month when you come to know yourselves more deeply than you ever have before. Our blessing is that you continue to fall ever more deeply in love with yourselves and with everyone around you as you move through this challenging expansion process. Love is your birthright. Claim it in your hearts and live as if Love is the only thing you feel. Eventually, it will be the only thing you feel!


Above is the Looking Ahead version of the Message, channeled over one month in advance. Below is the Monthly Update, channeled several days before the month begins.


If September is supposed to be a month of integration and balancing, I assume that also applies to Mother Earth. In the past, Earth has used earthquakes, tsunamis, wars and many people have been leaving to balance herself. In this month where Mother Earth is balancing, as we all are, does that mean that there will be more people leaving in a larger number because of earthquakes and the like?


Mostly the answer is yes. Yes, it is true that the process of integration is also occurring for Planet Earth, and yes it is true that often the balancing forces for the planet include what you call natural disasters. Particularly earthquakes and large movements of water, such as tsunamis, hurricanes and cyclones, tides and currents, provide that balancing action for Planet Earth. If you remember, the key about the integration energy in September is that, even as you are integrating everything you have been through over the course of the summer, you also are moving as quickly as you have been all summer. You are moving forward and taking in new information, even as you are looking back and integrating experiences from the past. That is the unique challenge about September.


That being said, the energy of September is not exactly a balancing energy. Balance is something you will engage as you learn to integrate the past even as you move forward into the future. Balance occurs in the present moment. You will find experiences to help you perfect this throughout the month of September. There will be what you call natural disasters during September. (There is always a possibility for this and the probability for this in September is actually not quite as high as it is in October. It looks like there is a stronger probability in October.) Remember that integration is really what is happening in September. The real work of bringing things into balance initiates after the Equinox, which is toward the last week of September and into the month of October. That is where you are likely to see more global, natural changes like hurricanes or earthquakes.


Your question about people leaving the planet is not easily answered with a yes or no. Often people leave the planet in large groups through a shared agreement. Collectively that group of people is ready to go for a similar reason, whether it be that they have accomplished what they needed to on Planet Earth or they all have a contract to serve some purpose by leaving. Always, whether that is true or not, every time a group of people leaves the planet at once, each individual is only doing so through their soul's agreement. If you see large groups of people leaving, you can assume that those groups have accomplished what they needed to accomplish. Each one of those individuals has accomplished their individual purpose and often that purpose is accomplished through the act of leaving as well. This seems like a vague answer, but it is the best that can be given accurately for a general question. The truth is that no one leaves until they are ready, and as soon as someone is ready to leave, they do. That remains true even in a large-scale natural disaster.


Is that part of their Enlightenment process?

For some people, yes. People who are going through Enlightenment, yes it is part of their Enlightenment process. For others, no, it depends on the individual and their souls contracts.


I have been hearing from a number of people that they do not know where they belong. They do not know where they want to live on the planet, and they are having difficulty choosing or making that decision. Is there something about the energy of September that would be useful to know in regard to this situation?


Yes. This helps illustrate in important point about the energy of September. Imagine a stone on a beach that has been tossed around in the waves until it becomes smooth. On a beach or in a riverbed, the stones are often smooth if they have been there long enough. Each stone is knocked around over and over again until it becomes very, very smooth; the action is very similar to what happens when a planet is formed. The way a planet is formed, the way it becomes round is through being knocked around and hit by asteroids and other bodies. The planet hurtles through space until eventually it finds its orbit and becomes round and smooth. The image of a stone being tossed in the waves or a planet hurtling through space until it becomes smooth and round are both excellent images to help you understand yourselves at this point in time in September of 2008. You are like planets being formed and finding your place in the universal choreography.


For those of you seeking a sense of place, it is no surprise to read that you have been tossed around a lot - you already feel this. Most of you have begun to develop your shape. In other words, you have come to know yourselves better. This always includes the good, the bad and the ugly. It includes seeing every part of yourselves and continually finding ways to embrace and love yourselves. You have all been working on this for years. Now through this process of hurtling through space or just moving forward through the current of your lives, you naturally fall into orbit. Regardless of whether you have found a geographical place that feels like home, you have developed the patterns that will lead you to a sense of home and place. The key is to stop looking for a place outside yourselves, and start looking for patterns in your lives that already exist.


When you focus on patterns, you find yourselves on a path that makes sense and is definable. For some of you the pattern is obvious - you have chosen your orbits and settled into them. For others it has not been obvious -- for all you know, you are just hurtling through space. The sense of orbit only occurs after you have made a few revolutions -- you suddenly realize there is a pattern. To find the patterns that uncover your personal version of home, ask yourselves these kinds of questions:


Where do I go for refuge? What relationships ground me? What natural elements feed my spirit? Where do I go for stimulation? What colors, temperatures, textures, and sounds make me feel alive and welcome? What changes do I make in my life with the change of each season?


Then, consider what energy and experiences you want included in your life. Do you want to feel stimulated? Rested? Strong? Supported? Choose only two or three words upon which to create a focus for your life.


Finally, look again at your first answers. What patterns to you see? Where have you been gravitating in order to get what you seek? What is the most centrally important feature to you - natural landscape, social relationships, work, cultural stimulation, or something else? Look for the patters you have already established in your life, and build a sense of home there. Resist the urge to try to become something that you are not, for your life will never be the same as another's. You exist as you are for a specific and divine purpose!


Some of you are finding a struggle knowing where to live geographically, while others are finding a struggle with knowing what kind of work to do or with deciding what relationships to focus on. Any of these variations fall under the same theme, which is that you have become a new version of yourself and it is time to get to know the new version of you. Consider where you are going. Notice the patterns of how you are moving through your life that will eventually lead you to understand your orbit.


More practically, for those of you who are struggling with where you want to live on Planet Earth, the best guideline we can give in a general sense is to make a list of what you love. Make a list of everything you can think of that you love -- what kind of plants do you love, what kind of weather do you love, what people do you love, what holidays do you love, what colors do you love, what kinds of animals do you love? Make a list of everything you can think of that you love, enjoy, like, or prefer. What is your favorite flower? What is your favorite houseplant? What is your favorite country? Make a list of everything that you like or that you love and let that list evolve into a theme. Once you see the themes around what you love, consider simply making a choice. Choose to move somewhere that includes that which you love. It can be that simple.


For those of you who are unsure about where you want to live on Planet Earth, or if you find yourself unsure about any major life decision, such as what work to do or whether to raise children. If you are unsure about one of these major life decisions, it is most likely because you do not have a contract that binds you to one choice. Many of you have a contract that tells you that you need to live in certain places in order to fulfill your destiny; many others of you have an open contract in regard to place. It is far more important what you are doing or who you relate with than it is where you live.


Consider the idea that it does not matter where you live, that you have complete freedom to live where you prefer, that there is not a right choice or a wrong choice; there is just your preference. Taking that approach will enable you to make a choice. Making a choice enables you to make a commitment. Making a commitment allows you to settle down and experience the place or the job or the relationship, rather than staying in limbo. Essentially by the time of September 2008, the things that you have contracted to do are apparent in your life, and so if there is something you are unsure about, you can assume that you have a free pass in that arena.


Particularly if you are looking for a place to live, simply choose to move to the place where you want to be and see how it goes. Give it two years and then if you do not like it you can change your mind. There is a lot more freedom in all of this than you are giving yourselves. Many of you have developed a habit of thinking of everything as being important because, for a time in the process of Enlightenment, it was vital that you pay attention to how you feel. But that does not mean that you have to get it right every time. It does not mean you have to do things perfectly. Life is and always has been an improvisational exercise in which you make it up as you go along. It is inherently that way because you do not remember your soul's perspectives, and so you do not know what you are doing or where you are going. If you did, you would no longer be human. Give yourselves permission to play around a little bit, to try something and see if it works, then try again if necessary.


On the collective level, are we coming into balance?

You are not really coming into or out of balance; you are progressing and you are getting bigger. Balance is not quite the best word to define the progression of your collective human experience. You are progressing away from fear and toward love as a collective. You are progressing so that behaviors, social structures, norms, expectations, organizations and institutions that feed or build on fear as part of their existence have less room to exist on Planet Earth. Organizations, norms, beliefs, and values that are based in love and which create bigger love are finding more space on Planet Earth. That is the general progression. It is not really about balance, it is about transformation.


Balance has always existed. Sometimes the balance in humanity slips to one side or the other; it wobbles, but there is always a balance between light and dark. You are maintaining a balance as you move toward the light. It is not that you are coming into balance as if you were coming out of it, but the balance between light and dark is continually readjusted according to your collective progression toward the light.


It seems like the heart of your question is, "Are we getting better, not worse?" The answer is yes. If you are interested in working with light and love, with a more divinely directed experience, then yes you are progressing toward that. It is up to you to swing through your process of coming into and out of balance. Just like a gymnast on a balance beam, you may occasionally tip and wobble, but you will continue to regain your balance and move forward.


I have heard it said that there is potential for an economic collapse in our future. Is there anything that the Keepers want us to know about that?


There is potential for economic collapse however, it is not a probability. You are experiencing a massive readjustment that manifests itself economically, as well as in other ways. Financial systems that operate on fear are unraveling. A collapse would occur if there was nothing emerging underneath what is unraveling, but there is a new system in place that will help you find your footing. There are financial systems, agents, organizations and institutions in place that are not based on feeding people's fear or taking advantage of fear. Those systems are in place well enough that they simply arise and take the place of the financial systems that are crumbling.


You will see the economic systems of some countries suffer for a period of time until they revise themselves according to a system of interconnectedness and fair evaluation. Some countries already have this type of system in place so they will not unravel, while others will need to unravel in order to allow the new ways of exchanging to become available.


The US economy is currently unraveling but the probability is that it will not collapse; it will simply unravel and rebuild itself based on a new set of values. This will require a new set of policies and a new set of practices, many of which have already been explored and exercised by some corporations within the US. There are economic systems in some countries that are founded more deeply on the values of interconnectedness and mutually beneficial trading. With those models in place and some of that experience already accomplished, the US will take the time it needs to adjust its policies and practices to match those that are more sustainable. The unraveling you are seeing in the US economy will continue well past the month of September 2008, but it does not seem to be slated for total collapse, just revolution.


Do the Keepers see us getting out of our addiction to oil? Will there be people who will be able to develop better technology?


Oh yes! You can see this even without the Akashic Records. It is already happening. People have already developed technologies and have made them affordable and feasible. These technologies have begun to be embraced, but haven't yet been embraced and produced enough to make much difference in your use of petroleum. But they will make an enormous change, for you will release your addiction to oil because your oil is running out. The choice is not whether you will move away from petroleum, but how soon you will release your addiction to it; the same question is how uncomfortable are you willing to feel before you make a change.


A huge change is occurring this year, for this year is the year that global dynamics become personally negotiable. In other words, the far-reaching global investment in petroleum has now become a matter of personal choice and consequences, rather than an abstraction. People's individual relationship with petroleum products has vastly shifted. People are making different decisions about how they use resources in the US and all over the world, and this will continue. Over time it is inevitable that you will release your addiction to petroleum because you will run out of it. Right now the probability is that you will release the addiction before you run out of it. In the meantime, there will continue to be great waves of discomfort and disgruntledness.


The technologies that will release you from petroleum already exist. In some parts of the world, and even in small parts of the US, they are being used quite efficiently and effectively. You are right in the middle of a revolution in regard not only to oil but to resources - resources and population. You are going through a revolution regarding the way resources are managed according to the human population, and oil is just one signifier of it. It is just one of many resources.


In September, you will simply see the US economy continue to unravel and various economies throughout the world continue to adjust to that unraveling. Some of them getting stronger, others getting weaker and many more just making changes not necessarily stronger or weaker. Overall, what you are doing is you are taking what was separate and you are integrating it all together. The US economy is weaving itself into the global economy rather than holding itself separate. That energy and that experience is completely supported by the energy of September 2008. This is a wonderful time for integration, for taking a look at who you have become, what you value, what you have experienced and what you have learned - then making choices in your life according to those things rather than according to old habits or other people's expectations.


The final piece of wisdom for working with the energy of September 2008 is, more than ever before, look at everything inside yourself. Look at everything you value, look at everything you have learned, and follow your own star. You will not be the only one doing this and you will be completely supported by your higher self, by the Universe, by your Spirit Guides and angels, and more than ever, by your fellow humans.

Something wonderful is about to happen ...

Get ready! October will bring in a full manifestation of our new roles, our new purposes, and a whole new set of “responsibilities” to our beautiful planet earth. Our “careers” will blast off, as we will then be poised and ready to offer the services of our heart’s desires to those in need of them. Not only will our new store-fronts or portals for receiving money be activated and greatly utilized, but many miracles, higher connections to others, new arrivals of hopes and dreams, and much of everything else will fall in our laps as well. There will be so much going on for us in October, that we will barely be able to keep up!

During this lull of the past several weeks and even for awhile longer, we are undergoing a process of preparation for our new roles. We are opening more, and readying in many ways to be carrying new responsibilities. We will be holding much more light, and thus, carrying much more responsibility for the awakening and evolution of the planet. Our very new “assignments” are being placed within us most assuredly now.

Within this lull or eye of the storm, it can seem very quiet. We may think that our jobs are drying up, that our source of income is waning and perhaps over forever, or even that we are sitting here twiddling our thumbs with nothing much occurring anywhere for us. We needed a rest and we needed to rejuvenate from the gut wrenching energies of July and the latter part of June. After this restful period and still within the lull, we then began the “re-wiring” or rather preparation period for our service to humanity…our service to those on differing rungs of the evolutionary ladder. And we will indeed be needed.

The full solar eclipse of August 1st opened the door for these new arrivals. It was the start of a very new beginning….at last. Most recently, it was time to really let go of much. It was time to cleanse and clear out anything in our lives which no longer fit us, which dragged us down, and which placed us in a less desirable space that what we would have preferred. The interactions and manifestations of the past year and a half that were not as pleasant as we would have hoped, were now very over. The time for doing what we really did not want to do is now very over. Experiencing any unpleasantness is now very over. Any sacrifices on our parts are now very over. (Apologies here….I have been writing on my book so much of late that I’m having a hard time putting a sentence together!)

We have literally left one world behind and are now fully enmeshed in another reality. This new reality is so very light, so very quick to manifest our every thought, so very loving, so very there, so very free, so very complete, and so very magical indeed. Currently, these energies are surrounding us but in a much more quiet and peaceful way. Come October, they will be much more forceful, moving, and will manifest so much for us that we may become overloaded with too much of a good thing.

During this time of movement into the new, some of our animal companions who embody much of our old energy are chosing to leave. Although they will not be going with us in their current form, they have already made plans to come back into different situations and are so very excited about their return...whether returning again to us or to our loved ones.

If you are currently not experiencing any of the peaceful stillness mentioned above, I would suggest to you that you have not yet let go entirely of the old world or the old reality. All you need do is to close the door. Close the door and open another one. Tap into something different from what is falling. Tap into something different from the old outside manifestations. Remove yourself from the old, literally or not. Take time for yourself. If you are still in a job, when you arrive home, turn off the phone, the internet, the television, and take a wonderful walk, read a pleasure book, bake or cook, do something creative, take a hot bath, and simply be in another space altogether.

Remove yourself from the old.

Refuse to be a part of it.

Refuse to participate in the dramas of others.

Look ahead. See a new horizon.

Know that it is indeed there, just waiting for you.

Decide what it is that you really want to do now.

Know that there will be a place for it.

Remember what it is that you wish to offer the world.

And know that this gift of service has been within you always…you need not learn anything new.

And know as well that a gift of service can be a work of art, a piece of music, or anything that serves to connect others to a higher light.


In order that things become stabilized during this massive transition from the old world to the new reality, a few things have been set into place to hold the energies firm during the fall. Firstly, the new babies are arriving. These new little ones are coming in rapid numbers, in twos and threes, and arriving as quickly as they possibly can. Because there are so many of them, and because they carry such a high vibration, they are thus laying a very solid grid for the creation of the new. Another stabilizing force is Barack Obama. He will be poised and positioned perfectly to bring the entire planet together, there-by creating yet another grid of unity that will serve to stabilize things as much as possible during the fall. We will connect and support each other through his divine and highly evolved leadership. All, as always, is in divine and perfect order. Things are being put into place very perfectly indeed, including us! We will be an additional piece which will hold things together during the fall, as we assist those in transition.

So now is the time to examine what it is that you really and truly want to offer to the world. I can assure you, when you connect to your soul’s plan, you will be miraculously poised to offer it to the world. You need not know how, you need not plan in great detail, you only need connect to your heart’s desire, begin it, and the rest will fall into place all on its own.

Let go of the old. Leave your old responsibilities behind if you are comfortable doing that. Know that the struggle is over. Know that you need no longer hold anyone or anything up ever again. Know that unpleasant energies cannot be where you are…if they do show up, ignore them, as they only want your energy and your light…you have better things to do. Dis-connect from the old reality and trust that when you do, you will find yourself at the gates of Heaven.

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

Until next time,
Karen

The role of lightworkers in this World

Lightworkers everywhere have awakened to a call from within. The feeling of coming here to do something, even if they aren't quite sure what it is, won't go away. The earth is out of balance, there are too many toxic situations and hidden agendas. Oppression, demoralization and deception bogs down the evolution of the planet. The time has come for All to be brought to light. Destiny has been set in motion and what is unseen will be exposed. Covert and manipulative operations are being uncovered every day, usually by lightworkers.

Lightworkers share a common purpose of illuminating the truth. Lightworkers don't take what they're told at face value. While others may blindly follow without question, lightworkers question and examine commonly held beliefs. What has been accepted at face value by previous generations will be thoroughly scrutinized by lightworkers. These dogmatic concepts seem superficial or outdated to many lightworkers. Just because "it's always been that way" will not be enough. They won't respect someone just because of a position they hold or the possessions they have. Anyone who hopes to influence lightworkers must be accountable and earn their respect.

Lightworker is a broad term. A lightworker may or may not be members of the new soul groups incarnating here, commonly called Indigos and Crystals. They may be incarnated from the many different realms of the universe. Many lightworkers are souls who normally do not choose to come to life on earth but are doing so now because of the evolutionary shift taking place on the planet. Lightworkers volunteered to be here during the transition and advancement this planet. A common thread among all lightworkers is a need and desire to illuminate the Truth. There is a large group of souls that have been in power on this planet for millennia. These soul groups have incarnated in power positions over and over again building up manipulative karma that is toxic. The major change happening right now is that these powerful soul groups aren't blindly accepted as just and worthy leaders by lightworkers or by the subsequent generations to come. This is causing a huge rift and what situations arise from these changes and shifts of power remains to be seen. It depends on so many different choices and alternatives that will be created by the billions of incarnated souls-the script is still being written. As lightworkers, it's important to be positive and embrace these changes. The "powers that be" now won't be able to subsist once the veil of illusion is thinned and the truth completely revealed. Because of this, those in power are worried and are hoping we'll all believe in the doom and gloom scenario they're creating to surround this change. To counteract this murky energy, we need to shine our beautiful lights even brighter and hold the vibration of truth within ourselves.

Like all people, lightworkers incarnate with no memories of their life mission. As they awaken at some point in their life, questions begin to surface. What is my life purpose? Why am I here? Why did I choose this life and these challenges? So many lightworkers tend look outside themselves for answers. It will be difficult for them to break out of the habit of wanting someone else to tell them where to go and what to do. Others will feel they know exactly what to do and find their path changing as their purpose matures. Many lightworkers will be attracted to many concepts and ideas simultaneously and become confused on which is the "right" path for them. Some will search for a guru or a leader hoping that someone on earth has all the answers. And, there are the lightworkers who are contacted directly by the spiritual realm and told what their role is. What they're told may be specific or it may be vague.

So what are you here to do? We should be flexible and know that there may be many different jobs and situations that are part of our spiritual purpose. Don't get stuck or attached to any one path or situation as there will be many changes over the coming years. Let your passion be your guide. Know who you are and what interests you. Don't look for someone else to tell you what you are here for. Instead, go within and ask your Higher Self, "Why am I here and what should I be doing? What did the Divine envision when I was created?" Really pay attention to what comes through after you ask. Be aware of synchronicity happening around you. Signs that come in three's. Listen to your inner voice. We are all unique creations of the Divine and everyone has different strengths and talents.

As with all of the Holy Spirit's creations, each lightworker brings light into this realm in a unique way. All lightworkers have the affinity to communicate with the spiritual realm and many chose to use their intuitive gifts to help others. Of course this isn't always the path that's right for everyone. Many lightworker souls chose the path of the healer or counsellor but the way they do it will vary greatly. For every gifted Reiki Master, there is a comedian lightworkers who heals with joy and laughter, bringing more light to our lives. There are lightworkers who are blessed with high I.Q.'s and part of their purpose to prove new theories or disprove outdated ones. Certain talented souls chose to bring in more light through the beauty of art and music. Catalyst lightworkers are the pioneers and debaters, or in the extreme, downright rebellious, and are here to awaken the sleeping community and prompt them to question what they've always accepted as truth. Warrior lightworkers are advocates and defenders of the weak and helpless. Teaching lightworkers are motivators who turn the self-defeated into the self-empowered. There are also the writers and teachers getting the new information and stories out there. The list never ends. These are all "God-given" gifts. Our true calling in life, lightworker or not, always involves something we are passionate about doing. Allow your innovative, radiant Self to emerge by first going within and fully understand who you are and then emerge with passion and joy.

The passage through summer solstice to the eclipses of August

The eclipses of the past two weeks have taken us through a journey of release, acceleration and integration. In preparation, after the summer solstice, the past came up for processing and assessment. Some of us have undergone a spiritual battle in a sense, between feeling overwhelming regret for past choices and coming back to the moment of now, which is all any of us truly have.

Now is a river that is always moving. It is not something we can grasp or hold onto, so we learn to let go into the flow. If we are holding onto regrets, we cannot move forward. Personally, I experienced this very thing. In July I visited my family by the ocean on Long Island, N.Y. There were terrible rip tides that week and several people's lives were claimed by the mighty ocean. While swimming one day, I felt the pull of that current as I fought my way back in to shore. During this visit I found myself being confronted with regrets from my past and I realized that the energy of regret is just like a riptide, carrying us out into perilous, lonely waters far from shore.

After a conversation with a friend, I realized that if I keep playing the "re-runs" of the same old regrets over and over, I cannot possibly move forward. Holding on to decisions that I'd made when I was younger and less conscious was holding me back - the regrets were taking up room that could be filled with happiness and light, and situations that I want to bring in. I've focused on forgiving and releasing my past and owning that all the decisions I've made have brought me to where I am now. My life is graced by dear friends and family, and wisdom and creative expression.

There are also some aspects that I don't like regarding where my life is now, which has to do with my desire to move to a different area. I don't feel in harmony with the energetic resonance of my current location, and this is bringing my energy down. This is something I can change right here and now and I can move forward into my future being conscious of my decisions - with the knowledge that every decision I have ever made is in alignment with my highest path and purpose.

The energy of the solar eclipse felt like an uplifting, upsurge of possibilities. It was a time of creating intensions for the new life we are creating. The energy of the lunar eclipse was about going inward and truly releasing the old stuff that has been loosening up throughout the month of July - releasing whatever is in the way of our creation of our new life.

During the week between the eclipses I felt stillness within - and a lull. I was unable to do certain tasks that were part of my responsibility to the outer world - I felt like all I could do was be. I just wanted to sink into the stillness within and be in nature and enjoy the last days of summer. I was fiercely "there" for myself, and said "No" to things that were tugging at me which I couldn't bring my heart to. If I felt the burden of responsibility for something I felt I "had to" do, I gave myself permission to say "no, I'm not doing that today."

Now, I am feeling re-energized. I look back on the lunar eclipse and feel as if I have traveled through a very narrow conduit - the energy in this passageway was sloughing off all the stuff of the past that has been rising from within in this past year.

In the new clarity around me, I became aware of an entity - a dark force energy - that has been whispering words of despair to me when activated by my thoughts. An "entity" is a thought form created by our thoughts. The dark energy that feeds off of our energy is part of this negativity and it reaches into the places within us that are holding negativity. The whisperings of this entity were echoing my own fears, taking me deeper into despair and hopelessness.

The clarity gained through the clearing experience allowed me to see more lucidly than ever before. I did a burning bowl ritual of releasing the past and through a Soul Realignment process, I went to the Akashic Records and did a soul level clearing and sent the dark entity away-contained in an orb and sent to the appropriate astral. The energetic spaces within me where the darkness had reached its tendrils have been filled with the Divine Light of Creator substance.

I will be writing more on the subject of entities, thought forms and energetic resonance in the September Vibe Report.

There are people in my world who are going through very intense difficulties. This is part of the clearing and realignment process. For anyone who reads this who is undergoing changes that seem extremely painful and difficult, know that you will get through the passageway. Consciously ask for what is ready to be released to be cleared and begin to focus on what you want your life to look and feel like. Call on your Guides, Teachers and Angels for help, guidance and comfort. They are there, waiting to assist you.

Deep within we are all connected through Divine Source. I send comfort, love and softness to all, laced with fierce strength and a prayer that we remember just who we are - Creators of our lives and our world!
