Divine Changemakers

As a divine changemaker, you are mastering how to live in the present, to express power appropriately, and to become conscious of your feelings, thoughts, and actions. Each new skill you master becomes a seed that's planted for others who will follow in your footsteps.

This reminder comes from Selacia and The Council of 12. "Divine Changemakers" is a wonderful term. It helps us remember that life isn't just about us anymore, it's about how we can work together to help others through the shift, and create the world that we long to see. Indeed, that we have longed to see for a very long time! Eons of time playing this game called Life on Planet Earth, and here we are, nearing the finish line.

Actually we already passed over a finish line, it was the completion of third density duality as a way of life. What's left to do is help the rest of humanity get up to speed and cross over too. Sort of like when you're sharing a canoe trip with others. You and your team hit the shore first, but none of you stop to rest at that point, you all pitch in a help the rest of the boats land and disembark. In the case where a boat is having trouble getting to shore, you get together and brave the river again to help bring the struggling boat in. Not so different what we're doing here, as humanity traverses the river of ascension and hits the shore of the fifth dimension one human vehicle at a time.

The Coucil had more to say, here's the rest of the article:

Making Sense of Now
-2012 Tipping Point, Year of the Dragon-
Selacia's Council of 12 Message

Living now is unlike any other time. If you are like most people, you have more questions than answers, and you wonder more about what's coming next.

The following are five key themes associated with being alive during 2012. Each applies to you personally while also relating to humanity as a whole. These universal themes impact people at all stages of spiritual growth. The effect may be experienced consciously or unconsciously, depending upon how awake a person is to what's going on.

As you consider the following, invite your inner wisdom to speak to you about what is especially relevant for you right now. Meditate upon that. Bring the ideas into your dream state over the coming days, too, inviting a higher wisdom about your life and optimal next steps.

Five Themes of 2012

(1) Transformation

This is a time of radical transformation of human consciousness, impacting people all over the planet. The shift going on is so big that even the most advanced person will have challenges remaining calm and centered. If you regularly remind yourself of this, it will be easier to cope.

Challenged you may be, but weak you are not. Your inner voice is helping you to become more aware of your unique role in the shift, and as that occurs, your priorities change.

You know that you must take actions to see the changes you want. You are not a mere bystander, complaining about the chaos and commenting on how strange things are. You know that you are alive to do more than that - so your calling is different.

This means that you will likely experience things differently - after all, you are out front, taking responsibility for what happens in your life and in the planet's future.

(2) Change

Transformation means change, and you are going to have lots of it. This will include changes you want, changes you might not want, changes you see coming, and changes that catch you by surprise.

To live now requires that you develop a new relationship with change. You naturally like the comfort of knowing what's happening next and being in familiar territory.

To be skillful living now, however, means you must trade in your comfort cushion and discover the courage to ride the dragon of change. You live, after all, in 2012 - year of the dragon! It is a year with the potential of auspicious new beginnings, dramatic upheavals of the status quo, and fiery catalysts for change on a massive scale.

(3) Awakening

Humanity's awakening, under way for decades, is gaining momentum and 2012 will be a peak year, opening the way for even more waking up in the next few years.

Some people you know - not yet interested in anything spiritual or metaphysical - will begin to ask you questions during these times. They will ask you because your very presence will be broadcasting the new energies. They will want to know about what's going on and how it relates to them.

(4) Time

Time is beginning to mean something quite different to those alive now. No previous generation had this experience.

What's going on? Some of the changing perceptions of time stem from the acceleration in time. The shift in time perception is also about consciousness.

Humanity is becoming increasingly aware of itself waking up and knowing that the time is short to figure out the multitude of dilemmas. Therefore, the perspective of time is shifting. People are putting more of an effort into things that they otherwise might have waited on. Previously, there was a tendency to think that there was plenty of time to solve problems and to reconfigure the unworkable. Now there's more urgency. People have knowingness, as though deep in their bones without thought, that they must change in order to thrive and survive.

During the next several years, key planetary alignments will add to the intensity of things - catalyzing forces of revolution and evolution in a grand way. The energies will be a potent catalyst for positive changes in all aspects of society, including a return to the heart and a heart-centered way of being. As part of the evolutionary process, humans can be transformed into a higher form that embraces the divine feminine and holds a balance between the male and female. Humanity then will embody the remedy for healing the Earth's wars, meanness, and greed.

(5) Relationships

Relationships always were the bond and catalyst for your changes, growth, and thriving. You naturally learned from them, even if it took you a long time - and often a long string of relationships - to grasp some lessons.

Now, however, relationships can and do teach you in an accelerated way. Each one is a precious opportunity, helping you to develop more self-love and to step into your true power to consciously create from love. Indeed, the relationships of this life are the vital key to your ascension into the higher frequencies.

The challenge during 2012 is to appreciate each and every relationship you have, and each lesson it teaches. It is about learning to respect and value your relationships. You are discovering how to relate to others without fear, how to help in a loving way, and how to connect with your larger world.

The key is remembering the connectedness of all beings, and to come from that perspective rather than focusing on how you are different. When you do this, you open up a window to experience more of the synchronicities that naturally abound from human interactions.

What's Next

What you are learning to do now may seem like a monumental task at times. Know, however, that you are encoded at a DNA level to be at the forefront now - learning new approaches and remembering things you have forgotten.

Take it one step at a time, just like you take one breath at a time. When you have doubts, remind yourself of your divine changemaker role. Not everyone is in that role yet, but you are. Don't worry about where everyone else is on the path - focus on your own steps.

As a divine changemaker, you are mastering how to live in the present, to express power appropriately, and to become conscious of your feelings, thoughts, and actions. Each new skill you master becomes a seed that's planted for others who will follow in your footsteps.

As you continue the journey of discovering our divine nature, we surround you with our love and blessings.

We are The Council of 12.

The Golden Key

The most powerful tool in this hologame on earth, the golden key so to speak, is the conscious practice and skill at holding a pure frequency of joy, gratitude and appreciation no matter what is happening, continuing to return to the alchemical chalice of the heart and radiate these vibrations into your daily life, moment to moment to moment.

We invite you and other awakened starhumans to hold the anchor and focus, for these energetic gifts that are being showered upon you. With every breath you take, realize that you are Light, you are needed, and it is time for you to be fully awake. Your every vibration ….your every thought is projected into the matrix of the energy field of planet earth. Continue to ask yourself, "Does this word, thought, action, feeling add to the light of the world, or does it add to the dysfunction of the world?"

Remember you are an important part of this unfolding. Each starhuman carries a code that is needed by many to trigger their own realization. Each encounter holds the auspicious moment in which codes and activation take place between both beings. When you and others are vibrating at your highest and most inspirited frequency, this is when the opening is available to lift any lower vibrations within another human.

Every time a multidimensional starhuman makes a conscious choice to experience an uplifted thought, a high frequency vibration of joy, gratitude or appreciation, there is a shift in the entire matrix of humanity. Every time.

Every time that a multidimensional starhuman stretches to be more compassionate, more understanding, more authentic there is a shift in the entire matrix of humanity. Every time.

One by one humans are taking their mastery; their authority and stepping into their personal sovereignty. We are celebrating with you in this incredible shift that is taking place. We invite you to stay the course, walk the path, and share who you are with others from this high expanded multidimensional starhuman place.

When you and others anchor this frequency, this truth, this knowing, when you vibrate the high resonance of joy, gratitude, appreciation, you welcome and allow others to connect with their own awareness of their multidimensional magnificence. Every time.

2012 - What's It All About, Really?

One of my favorite speakers about 2012, ascension, and the Shift is Jim Self at Mastering Alchemy. I consider Jim one of the foremost teachers about what the Shift is, and how to master one's way through it. He offers some simple - and free - energetic personal tools, all one has to do is sign up on his web site to have access. Of course he offers paid programs as well should you want to delve deeper faster, but all the essentials can be found in his free offerings.

Jim has a way of cutting to the chase about what we're up to as human beings, and that's a style that works very well with me. I'm not much one to "pussyfoot around" where matters of the future of an entire race is concerned. Being serious doesn't mean we can't have a good time through it all though! We certainly can, and we should! As long as we continue to be aware of what's at stake and what our part in all of that is. Here's Jim:

2012 ~ What Do You Mean the 3rd Dimension is going away?

Jim Self, Mastering Alchemy
December 2011

As 2012 approaches there is an increasing urgency to this message because we’re all, literally, running out of time to play in the third dimension.

In simple terms, the habit of thinking and feeling and behaving that we know of as the third dimension is going away. Everyone is shifting into a fourth dimensional consciousness and experience, and then into a fifth dimensional consciousness and experience.

However, most people on the planet are not prepared for this Shift. But it is happening nonetheless, and for those who are unaware of what’s going on it will not be an easy or comfortable experience.

Yet this can be a wonderful, enjoyable time as well. With some basic information about what the Shift is, and what “dimensions” are, and with simple tools to help manage our thoughts and feelings, everyone has the ability to evolve their consciousness and move gracefully and joyfully into these higher vibrational realms.

If you don’t know what dimensions are, you are not alone. Most people playing the game of life as we know it in the third dimension are playing without a “rule book” that would explain what the game really is and how one can play it successfully.
This article provides these basic, missing rules. It explains what the third, fourth, and fifth dimensions are, and why they are the most important consideration of your life right now.

If you can understand the structure and play of these dimensions, you can begin to move fluidly through the unprecedented changes of this Shift without fear, without effort, without the tension and anxiety that is, for the most part, the daily habit of our lives.

So, first of all, let me define what dimensions are not.

What Dimensions Are and Are Not

Dimensions are not places or locations, and they are not a linear progression - 3, 4, 5, 6 - stacked up like pancakes. And the 3rd dimension, or the 4th dimension, is not the chair you’re sitting in, or the walls that surround you, or even the Earth itself. That is form, which exists predominantly in the 3rd and 4th dimensions, and which will still be very much part of the play in the 4th dimension when the 3rd dimension is no longer an option.

In general, dimensions are states of consciousness available to anyone who vibrates in resonance with the specific frequencies and opportunities available within each dimension.

In a way, you could think of each dimension as a different game with a different set of rules as to what is possible and not possible for the beings that choose to play and create there. So what is the 3rd Dimension?

The third dimension (3D) is a box of rigid beliefs, more or less, with a relatively inflexible set of rules and limitations. Most of us have been playing this game for lifetimes, so we tend to think it is the only game available to us. But nothing could be further from the truth. One of the rigid 3D beliefs that structure our lives – our thinking and feeling and actions - is linear time.

Linear time is an optional belief and structure that let’s us “live” an experience of past and a future... and then we die. Because this belief is the default assumption of mass 3D consciousness, and events seem to validate the belief, most of us think and act as if it’s true.

But now we are all waking up from the illusion of this ubiquitous belief. And as you become more conscious, you realize that time in 3D is actually a time loop. What you experience in “the past” is pretty much what you put your attention on now, and you project that reality into “the future,” and therefore you experience it over and over again.

So the structure of time is quite specific (and limiting) in the 3rd dimension, but your experience of time is quite different (and empowering) as you move into higher dimensions.

You see, in the earth experience now, we have access to both 3rd and 4th dimensional consciousness, but most of us rarely step out of the well-grooved habits of 3D thinking and feeling.

The 3rd dimension also offers no possibility of choice. We don’t choose our thoughts, feelings, and actions in every moment (that’s a skill of 4D and 5D), instead we react from unconscious beliefs and training to the people and situations that pop up in our space.

Duality provides another rigid structure for 3D experience. Up/down. Left/right. Should/shouldn’t. Since the fall of Atlantis 12,500 years ago, we have become very fearful as a way of life, and in that fear we have learned to narrowly define good and bad, right and wrong, etc. Unconscious judgment permeates 3D thinking.

Moreover, we perceive our 3D experience predominantly with the left hemisphere of the brain, home of the rational mind, and so we use only about 5 to 10 percent of the brain’s capacity to play the 3D game. Most of us suspect the rest of our brain must do something but have no idea what it actually does and how it functions.

In fact, what the rest of the brain enables us to do is function in the higher 4th and 5th dimensions, and beyond.

We Have Everything We Need

We already have the potential, all the necessary equipment and wiring, right now, to be fully conscious in all these dimensions.

But our habits of thinking and feeling, grooved over many lifetimes, dumbs us down and limit us to 3D experience. Our left-brain, rational mind only knows what it knows, and it doesn’t know what it doesn’t know. It works tirelessly to keep us within a thin range of objective 3D thinking and possibilities. And we, for the most part, have gone along for the ride. But no longer.

The increasing light energies and frequencies of the Shift are rewiring our brains to allow us access to a much wider range of information and possibility than is available in the 3rd dimension. These light energies are preparing us for 4D and 5D experience, even as they are clearing the rigid 3D “rules” from our consciousness.

So what is the 4th Dimension?

The “rules” of 4th dimensional consciousness provide an enhanced sense of ease, possibility, and capability than the structures of the 3rd dimension.

Time in 4D, for example, is always present time. The focus is only ever this moment, what is happening right now. Our bodies already know only this present time; they can’t know ‘yesterday’ or ‘tomorrow,’ and as conscious beings in our natural alignment in the higher 4th dimension, we function absolutely in this “Now” of present time awareness and attention. When our attention point becomes present time awareness, choice becomes possible again. We can observe any and all events with a sense of detachment, merely as information to consider, and from that still, uncluttered platform we are then, and only then, free to choose our response. In the higher 4th dimension we become response-able.

A concept and possibility known as paradox also becomes available in the present time of 4D consciousness.

Paradox simply means that what was true just a moment ago may not be true right now. And what was false a moment ago may no longer be false. Instead of applying rigid, pre-existing definitions to any experience, we choose our preferred version and vibration in every moment.

So as we move into 4D consciousness in present time, with the power of choice and response-ability, and the flexibility of paradox, the ability to alter the game to enhance our happiness and well being becomes available.

Interestingly, 4D consciousness will not be a long-term option after the Shift clears away the rigid structures of 3D consciousness.

The 4th dimension is serving as an essential, but short-lived, stepping stone or vibrational platform from which we will all move into 5th dimensional consciousness. 5D is the target for Earth and all her inhabitants. The archangels have said the entire consciousness of Earth will be a fifth dimensional consciousness by the year 2015.

But although the 5th dimension is the target, the experience of the 4th dimension is essential. We cannot enter 5D directly from 4D. All mental and emotional baggage from the 3rd dimension must be left at the door to the 4th dimension, and we can only enter the 5th dimension after we have become masterful of our thoughts and feelings in the 4th dimension.

Some assembly is required.

So what is the 5th Dimension?

The 5th dimension operates, to a great extent, in a completely differently fashion from the 3rd and 4th dimensions.

Time in 5D is instantaneous time, meaning that everything (all possibilities) occurs in the same place at the same moment. In 5D, you focus your attention and the answer or experience is given to you exactly when and where you focus.

Ask and you shall receive.

In 5D, you don’t have to move or go anywhere for your answers or experiences; everything comes to you easily and effortlessly based upon the attention point and vibration you choose to hold in every moment.

When you are vibrating in 5D consciousness, you don’t create with form as you do in the 3rd and 4th dimensions, you create with light and light patterns and light frequencies. You apply sound and color and geometric shapes. You consciously interact with the Creator and all the Beings of Light.

In this heightened consciousness, the rational mind plays a very minimal role. It returns to a small, specific focus it was intended to have, namely the well being of the physical body.

But before we can move into our vibrational home that is 5D consciousness, we must first become masterful of the vibrations and possibilities of 4D consciousness. This is the focus of the Shift for most people as we head into the ever-accelerating events of 2012.

So how do you become masterful in 4D consciousness?

The Tools of 4D Present Time

As I mentioned, 4D is the 'right now' of 'present time.' But present time actually has four different levels.

In 2010, we all stepped into the third level. As we move [into] 2012, we will step into the fourth, and final, level. In that level, when you think, ‘I would like an apple,’ the apple is going to appear in your hand. Usually when I say that people get very excited. And it is exciting. However … there is a however.

The vast majority of people on this planet are not prepared to be the masters of their every thought, feeling, and action in every moment. But there’s no option. It’s a required, baseline skill of higher 4D and 5D consciousness.

One of the reasons the 3rd dimension was created was to provide a “playground” in which we each can practice and hone the vibration of our thoughts and feelings. To accomplish this, the 3D playground has a time buffer. Instead of ‘instant manifestation’ there is a time lag between the thought we think and the manifestation or experience of that thought. For the most part, we are very sloppy with this buffer.

Instead of focusing on what we want, and allowing this to unfold over time, we spew anger, frustration, boredom, worry, anxiety, blame, guilt, fear - all kinds of lower, dis-harmonic thoughts and feelings. We behave as if we can think and feel anything with impunity because we do not see the instantaneous results of our thinking.

But no longer. As 3D linear time is collapsing into a single point of present time, the time buffer is collapsing too. We have less opportunity to practice being aware of our mental and emotional habits before what we think is what we get. This is a very big deal.

Fortunately, some simple energy tools can help you manage your thoughts and emotions in every moment so that you can be prepared for the unprecedented opportunity and challenge of living and creating in present time in the higher dimensions.
These basic energy tools are available for free on our website Mastering Alchemy. But let me explain a few of them here by way of example. Allow the Shift to clear your unconscious thoughts & feelings.

In simple terms, the Shift is using one wave of light frequencies to clear away who we are not, and another wave to remind us who we are. The Shift knows where we’ve stored unwanted, unconscious habits of thought and reactionary emotion, and the light is clearing all this from our vibration.

However, as these lesser thoughts and feelings are cleared, they will come into our awareness, and magnetize people and circumstances to us that mirror these chaotic energies. How do you handle these often-powerful energies when they appear. You allow them. If you can simply observe them with a sense of detachment as they come up – knowing that they are just coming up to be cleared - they will clear quickly, and you won’t even remember what the fuss was all about.

But if you grab hold and engage these chaotic thoughts and feelings, if you insist on feeling guilty or worrying, if you continue to argue that ‘I am not OK’ or ‘They are not OK,’ these energies will not be cleared from your space – and the Shift, as it accelerates ever faster, will become a very bumpy, very ‘not OK’ road for you.

Remember most often what comes up is not even yours; it does not belong to you. Acknowledge it and know that it’s coming up to be cleared… forever. Take a couple of deep breaths, go for a walk, listen to music -- but turn your attention point to something of a higher vibration.

Understanding the Lower and Higher 4th Dimension

To simplify another important aspect of the Shift, let’s imagine that the 4th dimension has just two parts to it – a lower 4th dimension and a higher 4th dimension. (This is not technically true, but it’s a useful distinction.)

As I mentioned, form will remain when 3D disappears. We’ll still experience houses and cars and trees. But fear, judgments, blame and guilt, the rights and the wrongs, will disappear. All this dense emotional energy, which is the only thing that prevents us from playing in the higher dimensions right now, will simply be cleared from our space.

However, depending upon the vibration of the thoughts you are thinking as 3D disappears, you will find yourself in either the lower 4th dimension or the higher 4th dimension.

The lower 4th dimension, which is also called the astral plane or dream space, holds all the thoughts ever thought by anyone in the 3rd dimension.

You see, thoughts don’t just disappear after we think them. They live on in the lower 4th dimension, with specific weight, texture, density and emotional charge. And they bond and cluster with all the other thoughts of similar character.

Some thoughts – such as rape, domination, slavery, war, hatred – feel heavy, dense and dark. Conversely, thoughts such as ‘butterflies,’ ‘children playing in the park,’ and ‘flowers blooming on a warm spring day’ feel light and have a simple, airy vibration. Lighter thoughts like these rarely linger in a 3D consciousness. Because in order to align and feel the vibration of, for example, ‘beauty,’ we must step out of 3D consciousness into present time, a higher 4th dimensional space.

Wait, you say, I know ‘Beauty!’ You do, because we’re now living in both the third and fourth dimensions simultaneously, but how often do you align yourself with, and linger on, the feeling of beauty?

It’s a 4D, present-time skill to take thoughts like ‘light,’ ‘airy’ and ‘beauty’ to heart. These vibrations don’t even exist in the hurry up, past/future of the 3rd dimension where it’s very difficult to pause in present time and smell a flower.

But, on the other hand, have you noticed that heavy, uncomfortable thoughts such as ‘I’m not good enough.’ or ‘They don’t like me.’ or ’I’m never going to succeed’ tend to linger quite a bit longer in 3D consciousness? This is because thoughts are electric and emotions are magnetic. A set of light, airy vibrations like ‘beauty’ or ‘graciousness’ has a low, soft, electrical charge that is expansive and fluid. Whereas heavier, uglier thoughts come highly charged and wrapped in highly magnetic emotions. These thoughts are not only harder to clear than kind, loving thoughts; they also bond magnetically to all other thoughts like them in the lower 4th dimension.

So much of the magnetic field we walk around in - I’m not OK, You’re not OK - has very little to do with who we really are. It’s just the magnetism of one heavy, unconscious thought attaching itself to the magnetism of similar heavy, unconscious thoughts.

You begin to see why it’s vital to become conscious of the thoughts you think and the emotions you throw into your vibrational mix.

Fortunately, the second wave of the Shift is making this easier and easier. As we let go of the heavier energies of Who We Are Not, the light is rewiring us, stepping us up into a higher 4th dimensional vibration where lesser thoughts and emotions are not such a distraction in our general experience.

We start to live in alignment with the heart, and experience the vibrations and consequences of concepts such as ‘I like me,’ ‘I’m happy,’ ‘I’m pleased with myself.’

The alignment with the heart becomes natural because it already is our natural alignment in the higher fourth, fifth and sixth dimensions.

However, some assembly is required.

Any limitations, judgments, denials, blame, guilt, or resentments that we each still argue for, in one way or the other, become like weights on a hot air balloon. They limit how far we can rise within the fourth dimensional range of vibration.

Each of us is 100 percent in charge of the process. The more weight - lower-vibrational patterns of words, thoughts, and emotions - we remove, the higher we rise into the expansive experience of the higher 4th dimension. Here, it is as if we look past the boundaries and limitations, which were always just a habit of observation in 3D. It’s a wider view, a calmer view, and a quieter view. In the upper 4th dimension, you can choose fear or worry, and drop into the lower 4th dimension… but you won’t.

As you begin to align with the heart, very naturally - ‘I Like Me’ - you’re going to find there’s no reason or compulsion to choose an uncomfortable attention point in the lower 4th dimension. It comes naturally and readily because it is the language and vibration of you’re natural well being - if you let it, and if you focus upon it.

It’s a choice.

As the shift accelerates and time collapses and everything is in the present moment, you could still choose your thoughts and feelings unconsciously, out of 3rd dimensional habit, and you would have the opportunity to live that discomfort immediately and fully in your experience.

Or you can choose your thought and emotion in every moment, with focus and awareness, and live the fullness of that experience.

In other words, it’s to your benefit to practice and integrate the ability to choose the contents of your consciousness right now, before it really counts - and that moment is not very far away.

It’s all up to you.

Until now, the center of your head, the place from where you can choose your thoughts and attention point, has been pre-occupied by the thoughts of others. Your Mom-Dad-Teacher-Minister loved you and had an opinion about the best way for you to live your life, and as their thoughts moved in to your head, “You” moved out.

Now it is time to take back ownership of the center of your head. As you recognize and let go of the unnatural thoughts that say, ‘Oh, I can’t do this’ and ‘I can’t do that’ and ‘I must do this,’ you’re going to find that soon all those thoughts, with their sticky interlocking connections in the lower 4th dimension, disappear.

Just putting your attention in present time on ‘beauty’ and ‘well-being‘, or just being ‘happy’ in a state of ‘ease‘, eliminates the lesser vibrations stored within the lower astral fields of the 4th dimension.

Start by playing with the vibration of what I call Living Words. The Archangels very deliberately and precisely selected these words - words such as Certain, Capable, Commanding, Present, Senior, Graciousness and Happy - so that you can most easily clear all the unconscious vibrations from your space.

Choose one word each day and live with it all day, think it and feel it often.

If you practice thinking and feeling these vibrations now, when it doesn ’t absolutely count, they will become your habit when it does count.

You begin to gracefully realign with the fullness of “You,” and your natural state of wellbeing lifts you into the higher 4th dimension.

Easy? Kind of.

Simple? Yes.

Does it require awareness and a choice from a present time space? Absolutely.

Can you sit on the sidelines and hope it all turns out? No.

Increased levels of electromagnetic light from the higher dimensions are now flowing within all of us. Many people in the 3rd dimension cannot handle this surge, and they are choosing to step out of their bodies.

And many, many more will follow as the Shift accelerates.

You see, everyone is going home to the 4th and then 5th dimensions, but not everyone is going home on the same timeline , and with the same ease and grace.

How do you choose?

Blessings,

Jim Self

In addition to the tools Jim offers, here's another one that I've found helpful: Ask yourself periodically throughout the day "Is this thought worthy of me?" If it is, yay! congratulate yourself and enjoy the moment. If you determine that a thought isn't worthy of you, simply let it go, knowing that such thoughts are coming up expressly so that they can be released. They won't be coming back. You control your mind, not vice versa, because You Are God Also .. and despite what it might look like in any moment in time, so is everyone else.

On a personal note, I want to thank you for being here on this planet at this time. You cannot, in your wildest imaginings, understand what an important role you play, and have been playing. Your contribution cannot be measured in terms that we are used to measuring things. You matter. You are worthy. You are powerful. You are love. It is both my pleasure and my honor to be a part of the blossoming of humanity along with you, opening to a whole new level of being. Together we are creating a beautiful, joyful, amazing new world, and for that I thank and appreciate each and every one of you.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

No matter what happens now or in the coming year, remember that YOU are one powerful individual, that you are loved, and that you are never alone. Treat yourself with the love and respect that the Universe holds for you, and the world will beat a path to your door.

With love, appreciation, and affection for who you be and all you do ...

A Call to Action and a Return to Love and Reason - A message from Saint-Germaine

“A Call to Action and a Return to Love and Reason.”

December Solstice 2011 and New Year's 2012 Message.

A Saint-Germain Channeling
Alexandra Mahlimay & Dan Bennack
www.joyandclarity.com

I AM Saint-Germain. The December Solstice, 2011 and the New Year, 2012 will arrive with energies that are intense and sometimes chaotic. They will unfold quickly toward the March Equinox, and then continue throughout the year. Our advice for now is to expect the unexpected, but to fear nothing.

Agitation will be common in the coming year, but you are reminded to remain calm. Conflicts, as well as negotiations will be difficult for awhile, so remember not to collapse into fear or worry. Stay connected to the feeling of joy that is present in every moment of your life, and all will be well. Embrace these energies and use them constructively. Let your wisdom and maturity guide you. Do not fight against them impulsively or react in haste.

Rash actions will only confirm your mistaken belief that there is something wrong with the world, when fundamentally there is not. In error, you will seek to blame each other for your problems, rather than find workable solutions together. The energies that are entering your lives now are ones of expansion and liberation, not chaos and confusion, as they will appear to be. Allow them to transform into this higher expression, and you will soon see that this is so. Trust your Inner Guidance in this.

Remember that a shift in awareness often appears destructive and chaotic to the existing order of things. This is why the stabilization and transmission of awareness requires patience, tolerance and care. You are asked to avoid excessive haste in this, and to keep your hearts open to the Love that permeates all things.

The Wheel of Transformation.

During the December Solstice and into the New Year of 2012, major transformation will continue to take place on Earth. Each phase of transformation that you have undertaken in recent years has built on previous ones – and what you have established this past year will certainly carry forward into the next one. But now, as you go into the New Year, there will be a strong infusion of intense and expansive energies that will assist you in a global awakening of awareness. This shift is for the betterment of all, although it will not always seem this way.

Remember that in addition to the personal goals that you have set for yourselves, your collective task at this time is to offer love and reason to a world that has forgotten how to do this. As you demonstrate your readiness to step forward, your Soul will give you opportunies to serve. Remember that you are always encouraged to live your life with Soul purpose and conviction.

In the coming times, you will be called insistently to take a position. You can't stand to one side any more, because the energies are shifting too often and abruptly. You will need to participate in what is happening and maintain a your equilibrium in this. You will be asked to declare your position, to move ahead with courage, and to take appropriate, but not impulsive action – trusting that you will see positive results as you hold your course.

As you move through the New Year, you and many others may feel the temptation to act impulsively, and even ruthlessly, to satisfy your needs and ambitions. And while it is true that the constraints to acting are being lifted now, you should remain calm, present, conscious, and conscientious. It is important to take one step at a time, rather than to try to do everything at once.

The wheel of transformation is turning on Earth – and the New Year will certainly bring more of this. Yet, the December Solstice invites you to bring balanced, harmonious change into your life, and the wise use of power and authority that assists others, even as it benefits you. You are invited to use self-discipline and personal mastery to attain your goals, rather than to follow your impulses. As I said before, a shift in consciousness – just like a change in your circumstances, can come in an instant. But consolidating and stabilizing such changes does not happen so quickly. There is no need to rush.

Patience and tolerance is the key here. It will save you time in the end, because you will not have to start all over again. Why repeat history, when you can author your own story, instead? That's why you are called to understand the limited but real possiblities available for transformation at this time, and then use intelligent action as you advance – to act in the spirit of forward movement, but use self-control and inner restraint when necessary.

Don't get lost in activities that dissipate or waste your energies, or confuse your mind. Stay on track, and stay clear. Bring clarity into your life, when everything else is chaotic, and you can’t go wrong.

Misery Loves Company?

As the year winds down, you are invited to work with the energies of harmony and balance in the midst of change. Maintain your sense of equilibrium, even as you move forward into the New Year, 2012 and remember that effective action is always birthed in stillness.

When it is time to act, you will feel this from inside. You will be guided by your Soul in this, and you will receive assistance from your spirit guides and helpers, too. You will not have to force anything. There is no need to yield to impulse or chaos, or to fall prey to apocalyptic thinking or rumors of darkness. Until then, remember that we are supporting you, and sometimes nudging you forward. Remember to smile often and to keep a resilient attitude, dear friends.

With the intensity of the current transformations, many will fall into chaotic thinking. Yes, soon you will encounter many who will “muddy the waters” for everyone else. They will fuss, they will complain, and they will draw attention to themselves. They will find fault with everyone and everything, yet propose nothing in return. They will hold to the status quo and fail to recognize the need for change that is arising from within them. Instead, they will fear the changes they are called to make, and regard this as a descent into chaos, madness and misery.

As the saying goes, “misery loves company” and they will certainly seek your company there. That is why you are encouraged to offer compassion when it feels appropriate to you, but to do this with a healthy dose of emotional detachment and intellectual disinterest. Avoid anything that drains you.

Your role in the coming days is to maintain your clarity of mind and will-to-goodness, to practice tolerance, and to trust that the changes taking place are for everyone's highest good. Stay present and and move forward, without falling into the chaos that others generate. When you do this, you will offer others a point of reference that will help them find their higher ground, rather than drag you down where they are.

So, in the turbulent and chaotic times that are coming to others, remember to maintain your inner balance, your sense of compassion, and your presence of mind. These are the best things that you can offer the world and yourself at this time.

A Call to Action and a Return to Love and Reason.

As the December Solstice and New Year’s energies arrive, you will feel that you are starting to speed ahead again. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't pause and reflect, as you begin this transition. You should. It only means that the momentum you are gaining now, is the new freedom that is entering your life in areas where you felt constrained before.

The coming year will ask you to find this freedom through focus and self-discipline, rather than in haste and waste; and to plan your progress in managable steps. Do not throw away your opportunities through impulsive behavior, or by submitting to the chaos of those around you. You are here to work in a positive way with the changes that are coming. Not to fear or resist them because they ask you to do things differently.

If you are feeling stuck and don't know how to move forward, don’t be hard on yourselves now. Just remember to find harmony and balance in the changes that are coming. This attitude toward your life will make it possible for you to use much less energy as you move ahead, and to make decisions that favor your growth in awareness without offering much resistance.

As you move into the New Year, 2012, the changes that are coming will require a lot of your attention. Do not fear them. Simply accept what is offered, if it feels right to you. Remember that the opportunities your Soul brings you are always for your highest good. This is how the Universe works. Change is always a call to action, and a return to love and reason. Trust this, and it shall be so.

Indeed, I AM Saint-Germain, and you are dearly loved, my friends.

2012: The Year of Love

The earth that you once knew is no longer…there is a new vibrational pattern that has permeated the blueprint of the planet and you now exist as members of the galactic community, cousins to the enlightened citizens of your galaxy.

- Pleiadian High Council*

The new blueprint of earth requires LOVE now more than ever, and for those who hear the call, the impacts will be greatly lessened. For those who refuse the call, the impacts will be greater. We say this not to elicit fear, but to remind each of you that true healing is possible now but requires the firm commitment to release all that is not LOVE. For those who have been dedicated to the work of releasing these patterns of fear, unprecedented openings are before you.

- Pleiadian High Council*

We would say that these energies are coming to uplift humanity in certain sectors, and to equally dismantle corruption in others. The way for each of you lies in the choices presented to you now…how you choose will determine the path of your soul in the coming year. Choosing LOVE over fear is the only path to redemption.

- Pleiadian High Council*

The coming calendar year, the greatly anticipated year of 2012, is a monumental breakthrough in what we term, planetary consciousness. By this we mean that those who have laid the plan for a new earth have far exceeded our expectations. Because of this, what is coming to pass is much grander, much more comprehensive and more delightful than even we imagined.

- Pleiadian High Council*

Pretty awesome stuff! Time to congratulate - and thank! - yourself for being here and being a part of the change. Their admonition of love reminds me of something that touched me deeply some time ago:

Definition of unconditional love: The choice to see the divinity in all beings.

~ Chief Joseph through John Cali

The group, through Steve Rother at Lightworker, likes to encourage us to spread love through seeing the highest version of everyone we come in contact with, rather than the image that presents itself to us in any given moment in time.

The way I see it, they're all saying the same things using different examples, different words, and different means of expression. In other words, the time is NOW to release all fears and allow the opposite of fear - which is universal love - to fill your being. No matter how good it gets, it just keeps getting better and better!

Read more on this very exciting subject from the Pleiadian High Council and Loren Gorgo on Loren's website.

* The Pleiadian High Council through Loren Gorgo at Think with Your Heart

Healing Isn't What You Think It Is

Steve Rother and the group (at Lightworker) consistently and repeatedly give this definition of healing:

Healing is creating space where others feel comfortable enough to heal themselves.

It sounds like a nice concept, but what does it mean, really?

In an absolute sense, it means that we don't heal others, and others don't heal us - we each heal ourselves. Healers facilitate healing, whether they realize that this is what they do or not. Conversely, patients heal themselves, whether they realize that they do or not. Those are hard concepts to come to grips with, because for hundreds, if not thousands, of years society has taken a different view of healing.

This idea of "creating a space where others feel comfortable [safe] enough to heal themselves" is an important one, and it's in all of our best interests to understand it, begin to accept it, and begin to operate within it. For in doing so we accept our own responsibility in the matter of our own healing, and healers accept their responsibility as facilitators. This shift changes the very dynamic of healing, which in many cases has perpetuated itself due to the dualistic nature of the healing dynamic as it currently exists.

That is, in the past we have assumed that we are somehow broken, and we go to a healer (traditional healers, like doctors and therapists, or alternative healers, like energy workers and channelers) to get fixed. We assume that the person we go to knows more than we do, and in so doing, relinquish our power to them. It's important now that we realize who really has the power to heal, and both accept responsibility for our own healing, and assign our healers the task of facilitating that healing.

Tough concepts, I know, with lots of questions attached. How is this so? Does this mean healers are useless? How do I make this shift from expecting someone to heal me? I don't know how to heal myself, why do you think I go to healers in the first place?!

Below is one of the best explanations of this dynamic that I've seen, presented by Jeshua as channeled by Pamela Kribbe at jeshua.net:

Healing and Lightwork

You who are reading this, and who feel drawn to the Christ energy, are someone who longs to shine your inner light out into the world. You long to manifest as a lightworker, meaning that you feel the desire to spread light and raise awareness on Earth. Your passion is pure and real; it comes from the core of who you are, from your soul. It is the spark of God within you which leads you to this desire, for it is natural for God to want to share joy, light and compassion. Whenever you feel happy in expressing who you really are, you are feeling God’s happiness too, for you and God are one at heart!

The Traditional Healing Perspective

You often wonder what light work is really about. What does it mean to spread light, or to offer healing to other people? This is the question I’d like to address today.

First of all, we need to take a closer look at the relationship between people when one is helping the other. I would like to point out that something strange is going on with the distinction between healthy and sick, or between whole and broken, as it is used in your society. When you go to the doctor with a medical problem, you are a “sick person in need of treatment”.

Doctors are supposed to know something you do not. They are the expert and you easily get the feeling that your health is in their hands. It is not so much different when you suffer from mental or emotional problems. If people see a therapist, psychologist or a healer, they silently presuppose that these experts have some superior knowledge or skill which can help them solve their issues. By the very way the relationship between patient and doctor, or client and therapist, is defined, something happens to the self perception of both parties involved.

By framing this relationship in terms of one having more knowledge and insight than the other, it is suggested that the client needs the therapist/healer/ doctor to receive something that they themselves lack and cannot give to themselves. It is assumed that the therapist is whole and healthy, offering light and healing to the one who is ill and/or broken. From this viewpoint, the therapist or healer is ahead of the patient, and is in possession of something that they hand to the one who is lacking this knowledge or ability.

From a spiritual perspective, this viewpoint is false and distorted. It starts you on the wrong foot right away. However, it is deeply ingrained in your society, in both physical and mental health care. Notice how easy it is to feel smaller than the person you are seeing for medical or spiritual advice. You are the one with the problem; they are the one with the solution.

It’s a common pitfall for people who help other people on a daily basis to identify so much with their role of helper, that they cannot let go of this role. They define themselves by it and this makes them dependent on their clients or patients, as much as the other way around. The client may feel they need the helper to cure or heal them, but the helper needs the client as well to sustain their image of being the helper: the knowledgeable, bigger person who is willing to share their achievements with the ones in need. It is easy now for unbalanced relationships to arise, which center around power and dependency.

Lightwork and Spiritual Healing

Light work is something very different. To understand what light work or spiritual healing is truly about, you need to let go of the traditional image of “therapist helping client” or “doctor curing patient”. You need to let go of the very idea that helping is about giving something to someone else. The very notion that the other person is lacking something is detrimental to their healing process. The truth is that the only way to help someone is to make them aware of their own power and ability to heal themselves.

It is the mark of a good teacher that they make themselves small rather than big. Real teachers invite you to take back your inner power and they do not buy into the suggestion that you are small, needy and dependent upon someone else. Real teachers never present themselves as authorities. It is a silly thing to do. The true gift of a healer is to make the other person aware of their own inner authority, the fact that they are a spark of God and have all the knowledge available to them that they need.

True healing is very simple. It does not require elaborate methods or knowledge. I am speaking here of healing for the soul. Of course, physical problems may need to be attended by medical experts which have very specific knowledge and skills [but even so, it is wise to see their input as facilitating]. Healing that affects the soul is very simple. If you go to the root core of mental as well as physical problems in people, you will somehow encounter the belief that they are powerless, unworthy, unlovable, lonely and doomed.

The root cause is that people feel disconnected from their true being, the spark of divine light that they really are. To offer healing to people is to open up their memory of Home, to remind them of their perfect beauty, strength and innocence.

But How?

How do you do this? First of all, there is no fixed method or medicine. It is not a mechanical procedure. It is an energy transmission which can happen in a variety of ways. I’ll get back to this.

Second, no one heals unless they decide to open up to healing. You cannot force healing upon anyone. It is their decision. In fact, real healing is something of a miracle: it is the birth of a new consciousness in the soul. It is their creation and it cannot be predicted ahead. In everyone’s life there are moments in which you face the choice between dark and light. The dark represents giving in to self-judgment, self-hatred, negative thinking and fear. The light represents opening up to the kindness, forgiveness, joy and abundance that is truly the mark of divinity. It is up to you to choose. Even if the most beautiful angel is beckoning you to let go of the past and enter the kingdom of God, meaning to merge again with the spark of Light that you are, it is up to you to decide. If you are still immersed in deeply negative pictures of yourself or other people, if you are in the thralls of fear and anger, you may not even notice the angel. In truth, the angel of healing is always near you. It is your higher or true self, your divinity trying to remind you of who you are.

Sometimes, in your life, you meet with people who play the role of healing angel for a while. They may not even be aware of it, but they remind you of who you really are. By the way they listen to you or speak with you, a spark of the true you suddenly enters your awareness and you feel joyful and inspired after having been with them. This may inspire you to choose for the light, to make decisions in your life that serve your higher self, your true passion and love of life. The presence of the angel may serve as a reminder, and it may be the key to changing your life, but even then, it is your decision to trust and take the leap of faith. Only you can make the miracle happen!

You may have encountered angels of healing in your life and you probably have been an angel of healing for others on several occasions, even if you did not know. My point here is that this is what light work is about. It is not about curing or fixing people, it is not about offering solutions to their problems. It is not about teaching them certain skills, or knowledge or ethical rules. All of these actions presuppose they are lacking something, that they are small and helpless.

Spiritual Healing

Spiritual healing turns this picture upside down. What you offer someone else if you mean to offer spiritual healing is really a change of perception. Instead of focusing on their problems, their issues and their feelings of disempowerment, you focus on their essence, their wholeness, their radiant beauty.

If there’s anything to give by the spiritual healer, it is the gift of the true vision. If you are able to look beyond someone’s pain, anger, fear and self-destructive behavior, and see the angel of light in their face, you offer them something very precious. By seeing their true essence, you are gently summoning it and beckoning it to come forward. Perceiving someone else’s true power and inner light, even if they don’t show it on the surface, is like calling someone by their true name. Nothing is as powerful as being called by your true name.

What I did when I performed so-called miraculous healings in my life on earth as Jesus, was that I got in touch with the divine essence of someone. By seeing and feeling the spark of the divine in someone, it became awake and it was their divine essence that performed the healing, not I. It was their self-remembrance that restored mental and even physical health to them. Not always did such a meeting result in healing, for it would always depend on whether the other person decided to open up to healing. The miracle was upon them, and this is important to remember whenever you work with people for the purpose of spiritual healing.

All spiritual healing comes from within. You are not healing anyone as a lightworker. You are creating a space of openness, of being without judgment, which invites the other person to look at themselves with openness and compassion. Instead of trying to solve any problems on the outside, you are connecting to the other person’s soul and you are holding a vision of trust and clarity for them. This is the way of the lightworker. You are trying to return to the other person their greatness, instead of focusing on their smallness.

Working with someone on the soul level means that you show them their responsibility for their own life. Because you do this lovingly and without judgment, this responsibility will not feel as a burden. It will feel empowering and liberating to take responsibility. By really believing in the creative powers of the other person, you mirror their own strength back to them through your eyes and words. By focusing on what is whole and untainted in them, you reinforce it.

You can only do so if you truly believe it. If you doubt at some level that they can do it, you affirm their sense of weakness instead of invoking their strength. You are most powerful as a healer if you completely trust the other person’s ability to solve the problems and let go of any notion of them being dependent on you. Many of you feel that returning responsibility to people in this way means to abandon them or to tell them to solve the issue all by themselves. However, to release all ties of dependency does not mean you are not there for them anymore. You are still there, holding your faith in their true strength and inner power, encouraging them to go beyond their self-imposed limitations and be all that they can be. It will be their choice what to do with the healing space you offer.

I know that many of you have a very hard time watching other people suffer, especially if they are loved ones. It may seem impossible to stop “helping them”, to let go and put your energy elsewhere. But, please take a moment and consider if you are really helping them by holding on. If they are dependent on your energy of kindness and support to feel good, how will they ever face up to their own lack of kindness and support towards themselves? From the soul level, you may be reinforcing their weakness instead of awakening their true inner power. This affects both of you negatively.

Being a lightworker or spiritual healer means that you seek to connect with someone from soul to soul. On the soul level, every being is equal and no one is ahead of anyone else. You are all sparks of the divine beingness you call God. It may seem on the human level that one person is more knowledgeable, evolved or wise than another person. However, if you look at it from the perspective of the soul, this kind of judgment becomes obsolete.

All souls are travelling through the infinite universe and go through various cycles of experience and growth. It may be that you are helping someone who is suffering from severe emotional imbalance due to very difficult circumstances they encountered in their life. You may be the one offering assistance at this point of time. But later on, once the suffering one has regained their strength, they may become your teacher and show you a depth of wisdom and compassion that will blow you away.

To offer spiritual healing or be a lightworker, it is important to always remember you are equal to the other person on the soul level. It is essential that you recognise your own humanness and that you are really in the same boat as the other person. You may be holding a space of light and compassion for someone, but that does not make you different from them, in the sense of ‘being higher’ or ‘above’ them. Don’t identify yourself with being a lightworker. If you feel drawn to helping people discovering their true inner power, follow your passion and do whatever you love to do. Light work may take all kinds of forms; it is certainly not limited to offering therapy. Generally, if you do what you really love to do, you will see that you inspire others to do the same.

Being one with the God spark in your heart will naturally lead you to the right type of work, or relationship or place to live. Living from the heart is really very simple. It is about connecting to your heart’s desire, your true joy, and daring to act upon it. Doing this will make you a lightworker and not necessarily because you are “helping other people”. It is because you are bringing your soul’s unique song to the world that you will inspire other people to also believe in themselves and bring out the best in them. Light naturally radiates outward. You don’t have to focus on the question on how to spread light in the world. Don’t try to be good and helpful. Try to live according to your own unique and divine nature, and the world will be a better place because of it.

Although this information from Jeshua focuses on the spiritual aspect of healing, it truly applies to all healing, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. This is because all "dis-ease" starts on an energetic level before it ever manifests in physical reality. So all healing is energetic in nature, even though it is the physical body or emotions that we experience as being healed.

To make the most of the way healing actually occurs, when seeking assistance from someone - be it doctor, therapist, alternative healer, or simply a friend - first accept your own responsibility in the matter. See the other as your guide, aid, helper. See them as being there to shine a light that in your current experience you temporarily cannot see. Know that it is their responsibility to continue to shine that light, and yours to step into what is being offered or revealed .. or not. Your intent is all important, and your acceptance of your own responsibility in the matter even more so.

If you find this concept difficult, think about what happens when you go to a coach, for example, as opposed to a healer. When you see a coach, you are fully aware that they are going to guide you, offer suggestions, show you techniques. But you also know that it is you who need to put those ideas, suggestions, techniques into use. If they are coaching you in game play, such as tennis, you are clear that they aren't going to play the game for you. What fun would that be? You go to them for help in learning to play better. You know that you control the racket, you move your feet, you hit the ball either on or off center. Sometimes you'll perform a good return volley and sometimes you won't.

Healing can be viewed in the same way. Begin to approach your doctors, therapists, healers for the information, insights, and techniques that they can offer you, knowing full well that it is up to you to use what they've given you. It's also your responsibility to determine if the healing you've sought is appropriate for you, as you would when choosing to work with or not work with any particular coach. In this way you not only empower yourself, but you automatically empower healers to begin to see their role as facilitators and not 'fixers.'

To give the power of healing to a healer of any sort is to abdicate your role in your own development. When you begin to take that responsibility back, you'll feel more and more excited about your own role in the creation of your own life. And that is a very empowering feeling!

The New Empathy

At its lowest vibration empathy is experienced as sympathy, where you are aware of others' powerlessness and this is where your empathic connection is felt. You also believe that by transmuting their energy you raise the earth's vibrations and while this has been one of Lightworkers' roles in the past, it is no longer true for you today. Today, empathy is evolving into powerful connections that allow healing to occur through conscious choice and free will.

Lightworkers hold the fear that the earth will not ascend, that ascension will be stopped or blocked, that some force or energy can prevent ascension from happening. Yet it always happens at some level although it has not yet achieved its full aspects. Remember there are many dimensions in the Universe so ascension is always occurring beyond dimensions you can know or imagine at this time. As empathy evolves so do your human connections and you must choose to connect to others by realizing their power and showing them how they can reconnect to it.

It is not possible to help others heal by showing them their pain - they are already aware of how painful their life is. You can [create a space for them to] heal by showing them their truth, which is that they are powerful, divine beings whose life experience can be shifted through awareness of a more powerful aspect of themselves.

Practice empathy by being your most powerful self and be a mirror of the joy, peace, abundance and love that are available to all when they can learn to seek and find their own truth and find the power within that heals all pain.

Kryon on Toning

QUESTION: Dear Kryon: When I chant mantras I know they affect my body, but can they also affect the bodies of my horses, dogs and cats? I play different mantras 24-hours a day on our horse farm (chants like ‘Lumen De Lumine’, ‘Om Mane Padme Hung’ and ‘Om Nama Shivaya’). I was also wondering, can these chants help raise the vibration of the Planet as well? I sure hope so, because this is my humble intent; even though the main reason I use them is because they make me feel good.

ANSWER: All toning and sound vibration has energy. When you combine it with intent from Human consciousness, it is very powerful. Don’t spend too much time on the details of exactly what notes or what mantras you use, for these details are only there to keep you pleased that you are fulfilling a system. Humans love systems and respond well to them, but following a system isn’t necessary from the perspective of Spirit.

It’s true that almost everything around you, including your body, has specific tonal attributes. However all Life around you will respond even if you don’t say or sing its specific frequency. This is because the intent of your actions is seen as a “carrier” for all the tones. So, even if – through your lack of knowledge or vocal ability – you miss the note, the intent carries the correct note at an interdimensional level.

This is true with the mantras you mention. They are only powerful due to the intent that you place upon them and the words that you feel are meaningful to you. The animals respond to the same energy. They feel the intent and they like the vocal sounds you make. They wouldn’t care what language or what mantra. Do you see the power that your own Human consciousness has on nature and everything around you?

From the Kryon Q&A Archives

Thrive

If you aren't aware of this film, it looks to be a fantastic starting point for a lot of humanity that are just beginning to awaken.

What is Thrive? In the team's own words: "... a feature length film and website whose purpose is simple: To empower a more informed and leveraged movement for global transformation!"

The film isn't being released until 11.11.11, but based on the information I've been receiving from them, and the trailer below, I've every belief that this is a significant step in the direction of the human race taking back our power. In that light, I can't do anything but encourage and support this and similar movements around our world.




Message from the team at Thrive:

Dear Friend,

Wow. It is hard to believe that the moment is almost here.

For more than eight years we have worked diligently to consolidate a lifetime of research into THRIVE - What on Earth Will it Take? a feature length film and website whose purpose is simple: To empower a more informed and leveraged movement for global transformation!

And in two days, at exactly 12:01am PST on 11/11/11 the film will be released into the world.

THRIVE is the culmination of our journey to seek answers to the most critical questions of our time, including:

Is it possible for humans to thrive? And if so, why aren't we?

If nature teaches us anything it is that Life is meant to work. And like every living thing, our purpose is to thrive.

And yet, for the majority of people on the planet, life is not about thriving... It's about surviving, just trying to hang on.

Is this really the best we can do? Did the universe labor for nearly 14 billion years only to bring forth a species that would end up as an enemy to life itself, and to its own Home?

We don't think so.

Like so many of you, we have spent nearly a lifetime trying to figure out what happened - what is happening that could account for the staggering agony and deprivation on this planet.

Our research led us to places we never expected to go, revealing surprising discoveries that seemed unrelated at first, but which turned out to be crucially connected, as you'll see.

We came across a code - a pattern in nature that's been embedded in arts and icons throughout the centuries. We believe this code holds the key to a new source of clean, sustainable energy that could completely revolutionize the way all people live.

We came to understand how our economic system is rigged. And we found out what we can do about it.

Our journey revealed ways we can claim our power to create liberating, healthy systems everywhere on Earth!

We have realized that we are not a mistake. We are simply mistaken. We've been blinded to our brilliance, shorn of our strength, ignorant of our genius, unaware of our true power and magnificence.

But all of that ...is about to change.

We encourage you to share this worldwide event with your friends, family and colleagues by forwarding this email notifying them of THRIVE's exciting launch on 11/11/11 in 10 languages. Like you, they won't want to miss this!

Sincerely,

Foster, Kimberly and the THRIVE Team*

Aligned By Consciousness

The following article, written by protester extraordinaire Naomi Wolf, has been reposted a number of times, most commonly with the rather lengthy title "We May Be Witnessing the First Large Global Conflict Where People Are Aligned by Consciousness and Not Nation State or Religion".

The original post was called "The People vs the Police", a much less interesting title, but the one actually chosen by the author. I don't normally post political pieces or participate in political activism on this blog, but in this case I make an exception. Mostly because I think that the "Occupy" events going on globally are one of many, if not one of the primary, ways in which humankind - on a global basis - is showing that it is waking up. Thanks to so many people standing in their own power of choice, freedom is becoming less of a catch-word and more of a reality. This is possible as all of us continue to join to together to create a world that is different than most believed would ever be possible, let alone feasible, let alone real.

I'm including Naomi's entire piece here for completeness, but to me the most important observation that she makes is the following:

... most commentators have not fully grasped that a world war is occurring. But it is unlike any previous war in human history: for the first time, people around the world are not identifying and organizing themselves along national or religious lines, but rather in terms of a global consciousness and demands for a peaceful life, a sustainable future, economic justice, and basic democracy.

We still have a long way to go, but make no mistake, as we join together emotionally, energetically, and physically, enormous positive change is in the making.

The People versus the Police
By Naomi Wolf
2011-10-31

NEW YORK – America’s politicians, it seems, have had their fill of democracy. Across the country, police, acting under orders from local officials, are breaking up protest encampments set up by supporters of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement – sometimes with shocking and utterly gratuitous violence.

In the worst incident so far, hundreds of police, dressed in riot gear, surrounded Occupy Oakland’s encampment and fired rubber bullets (which can be fatal), flash grenades, and tear-gas canisters – with some officers taking aim directly at demonstrators. The Occupy Oakland Twitter feed read like a report from Cairo’s Tahrir Square: “they are surrounding us”; “hundreds and hundreds of police”; “there are armored vehicles and Hummers.” There were 170 arrests.

My own recent arrest, while obeying the terms of a permit and standing peacefully on a street in lower Manhattan, brought the reality of this crackdown close to home. America is waking up to what was built while it slept: private companies have hired away its police (JPMorgan Chase gave $4.6 million to the New York City Police Foundation); the federal Department of Homeland Security has given small municipal police forces military-grade weapons systems; citizens’ rights to freedom of speech and assembly have been stealthily undermined by opaque permit requirements.

Suddenly, America looks like the rest of the furious, protesting, not-completely-free world. Indeed, most commentators have not fully grasped that a world war is occurring. But it is unlike any previous war in human history: for the first time, people around the world are not identifying and organizing themselves along national or religious lines, but rather in terms of a global consciousness and demands for a peaceful life, a sustainable future, economic justice, and basic democracy. Their enemy is a global “corporatocracy” that has purchased governments and legislatures, created its own armed enforcers, engaged in systemic economic fraud, and plundered treasuries and ecosystems.

Around the world, peaceful protesters are being demonized for being disruptive. But democracy is disruptive. Martin Luther King, Jr., argued that peaceful disruption of “business as usual” is healthy, because it exposes buried injustice, which can then be addressed. Protesters ideally should dedicate themselves to disciplined, nonviolent disruption in this spirit – especially disruption of traffic. This serves to keep provocateurs at bay, while highlighting the unjust militarization of the police response.

Moreover, protest movements do not succeed in hours or days; they typically involve sitting down or “occupying” areas for the long hauls. That is one reason why protesters should raise their own money and hire their own lawyers. The corporatocracy is terrified that citizens will reclaim the rule of law. In every country, protesters should field an army of attorneys.

Protesters should also make their own media, rather than relying on mainstream outlets to cover them. They should blog, tweet, write editorials and press releases, as well as log and document cases of police abuse (and the abusers).

There are, unfortunately, many documented cases of violent provocateurs infiltrating demonstrations in places like Toronto, Pittsburgh, London, and Athens – people whom one Greek described to me as “known unknowns.” Provocateurs, too, need to be photographed and logged, which is why it is important not to cover one’s face while protesting.

Protesters in democracies should create email lists locally, combine the lists nationally, and start registering voters. They should tell their representatives how many voters they have registered in each district – and they should organize to oust politicians who are brutal or repressive. And they should support those – as in Albany, New York, for instance, where police and the local prosecutor refused to crack down on protesters – who respect the rights to free speech and assembly.

Many protesters insist in remaining leaderless, which is a mistake. A leader does not have to sit atop a hierarchy: a leader can be a simple representative. Protesters should elect representatives for a finite “term,” just like in any democracy, and train them to talk to the press and to negotiate with politicians.

Protests should model the kind of civil society that their participants want to create. In lower Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park, for example, there is a library and a kitchen; food is donated; kids are invited to sleep over; and teach-ins are organized. Musicians should bring instruments, and the atmosphere should be joyful and positive. Protesters should clean up after themselves. The idea is to build a new city within the corrupt city, and to show that it reflects the majority of society, not a marginal, destructive fringe.

After all, what is most profound about these protest movements is not their demands, but rather the nascent infrastructure of a common humanity. For decades, citizens have been told to keep their heads down – whether in a consumerist fantasy world or in poverty and drudgery – and leave leadership to the elites. Protest is transformative precisely because people emerge, encounter one another face-to-face, and, in re-learning the habits of freedom, build new institutions, relationships, and organizations.

None of that cannot happen in an atmosphere of political and police violence against peaceful democratic protesters. As Bertolt Brecht famously asked, following the East German Communists’ brutal crackdown on protesting workers in June 1953, “Would it not be easier…for the government to dissolve the people and elect another?” Across America, and in too many other countries, supposedly democratic leaders seem to be taking Brecht’s ironic question all too seriously.

Understanding the 11/11 Gateway

There's been a lot of speculation about 11-11-11. Recently, almost as much as speculation as surrounds 12-12-12, although much of it outside the radar of the global media. But what exactly is the meaning of this date? Below, in a message from Selacia's Council of 12, is an overview that summarizes the majority of what I know (or think I know ;)) about this auspicious time in mankind's history.

The one thing that I know for certain is that whatever meaning you personally attach to 11-11-11 or 12-12-12, or any other date for that matter, you're served best by staying out of fear about it. If fear comes up, note it, and then find a way to perceive whatever feels fearful with something more uplifting. Each and every time you do this, it gets easier for the next time, until eventually you'll notice that fearful thoughts just don't come up as often as they once did, and when they do, they have far less power. To me, un-learning fear is the most critical part of this amazing journey that we are all on. Together.

Enjoy!

Understanding the 11/11 Gateway

On 11/11 you and humanity are entering an energy gateway. It is one of a number of gateways you will experience in the coming times. What do these gateways really mean and how can you prepare?

People across the planet are waking up. As this awakening occurs, light shines on things that were previously in the dark. This is a natural process. You as a divine changemaker are an integral part of this process.

Your energy is crucial to what unfolds next - impacting your own spiritual evolution and the shifting of the Earth. Since your energy is such a pivotal factor, it is helpful to understand evolutionary cycles and gateways like 11/11.

The awakening now under way has been in progress over time, gathering momentum as more people evolved spiritually. This process is faster now, in part because of humanity's evolutionary development over the decades and also due to the acceleration
of time.

The changes you are seeing now did not happen overnight - they have been unfolding, bit by bit. Change during the unfolding process can appear in such a subtle way that it is beyond mundane detection. It takes discernment, training, and practice
to learn to decode the subtle elements of existence.

A Knowing in Your DNA

Throughout the ages, symbolism has been attached to images and numbers and dates. You have recorded in your DNA a knowing of these things. In another time and place, you may have had an understanding of numerology, astronomy, or other esoteric studies involving energy cycles anddates. In your studies you may have learned about the
symbolic communications of the spirit world.

The numbers 11/11 have long been associated with the idea of synchronicity, showing up on a clock or even within the mind's eye as a kind of wake up call. It is like your inner being is reminding you that you are divine. When you see 11/11 flash
on a clock as you go about your day, it is like spirit wants to bring attention to your divine self. You are, after all, divine! As you connect with that idea, your entire being is energized, you have a greater potential to progress spiritually, and therefore you can move into greater harmony and joy.

The number 11 is one of the master numbers and is related to spirituality, illumination, and a balancing of opposites. Examples of opposites include male and female, active and passive, love and fear. Adding an 11 to 11 for the date 11/11 creates a powerful opening for spiritual growth and awakening. To experience the 11/11 during the year 2011 adds to this potency, in part because of the 2 in 2011 being connected to duality. Joining the 11/11 with 2011, therefore, helps to illuminate duality.

What does it mean to illuminate duality and how does this impact you and everyone you love?

The mega crisis you and the planet now face involves waking up to the destructive force of old paradigm approaches involving fear. Only when you can see the dysfunctional structures and ways of being for what they are can you change them. Anything that's fear based is the polar opposite of what's needed to create the love-fueled world you seek to inhabit.

Duality Must Become Visible

You must be able to see the dysfunction in order to know that it's something you don't want. The duality must become visible in order for you to address it. For you to see it clearly and fully, the unworkable must be illuminated. That illumination is happening right now all across the planet - showing you what's not working in relationships, in business, in politics, in religion, and more. This unveiling is happening for you personally, for those you love, and for humanity at large.

The 11/11 on 2011 is like a magnification of the illumination effect that has been under way for some time. It therefore is a gateway - an opportunity for you to join with others across the planet to focus on love and light-filled ways of being.

Doing so on 11/11 and on other dates like solstice will allow you powerful opportunities to shine your light - in ways that can catapult you and humanity into a more loving configuration. Each time you focus your energies in this way you are contributing
significantly to the shift in consciousness.

To supplement that, you add to these positive energies by how you live your daily life. Each time you make a choice to be more loving and more kind, you raise your frequency and contribute to creation of a new type of reality based on love. Consider
what you can do today to add to this momentum - this is the perfect moment to begin.

False Notions about 11/11

False notions about 11/11 and other upcoming dates include a number of ideas based on prophecy, superstition, and wishful thinking. Learn to be mindful and discerning of media messages about dates such as the 11/11 of 2011. The Internet is full of
articles linking 11/11 with outcomes that cannot be substantiated.

Here are a few examples of false notions to question:

* Everyone on the path of light will ascend on 11/11.
* When you ascend you leave behind loved ones who are not yet ready.
* You will be united with your twin flame on 11/11.
* All of your work is done - the 11/11 is the culmination of your mission.

Get into the habit of questioning more deeply what you hear and what you read. Do you really think that everyone on the planet, including those who have yet learned to love themselves, will automatically be united with a twin flame on 11/11? This
is nonsense.

Also, there is no automatic ascension. The great shift now in process is a gradual one and does not happen on a single day. Each person has his or her own spiritual path. You can help others and show the way but from a higher spiritual perspective
you are not responsible for how quickly they develop spiritually. No one is left beyond - each person has a divine spark and it is his or her eventual destiny to remember that and to live as soul.

You Are Not in a Race

You are not in a race. There is a divine timing for everything and for each person's path. As you open to your own inner wisdom and act on it, you connect with your own divine timing. This is what you want to focus on now and in the times to come.

As you continue the journey of discovering your divine nature, we surround you with our love and blessings.

We are The Council of 12.

From Intolerance to War

Reuben James

From John Cali's Spirit Speaks Newsletter
November 1, 2011

Seventy years ago yesterday, October 31, 1941, the USS Reuben James, a destroyer (class of US Navy ship), became the first American ship sunk by the German navy in World War II. Torpedoed by a German submarine off the coast of Iceland, it took 115 of its crew to the bottom of the sea. Only 44 survived.

I know this might seem a strange subject for a spiritual newsletter, but please bear with me.

The legendary American folk singer, Woody Guthrie, wrote the song, The Sinking of the Reuben James. I first heard it, as sung by The Kingston Trio, when I started college years ago.

The song resonated with me because I'd just finished a tour of duty with the US Navy on a destroyer, The USS Rowan. It also resonated with me because I did not believe in war, a conviction I hold even more strongly today. (The only reason I went into the navy was back then, unlike today, young American men were legally required to serve in the military.)

Fortunately (for me), I never served in the military during wartime. In this lifetime, that is. But I was a warrior in other lifetimes,
and I know that accounts for my convictions in this lifetime.

Here's Spirit.

Spirit

Your history books are filled with war stories -- wars down through the centuries virtually from the beginning of human history on your planet. You do not need us to remind you of the human horrors and tragedies resulting from your inability to get along with each other, individual to individual, nation to nation.

Some of you have even fought wars in the name of God -- or in whatever name you chose to call the divine energy. It's ironic to us that humans would choose that course, or that "justification," for war. God would never choose to inflict harm on humans. For you are all part of God, as we have said many times. God is incapable of hurting himself/herself.

Some of your religious traditions even have the term "just war."* No war is just, or justified, in our view, no matter what the final
outcome.

No one ever wins a war. Neither the "victor" nor the "vanquished." War is an exercise in futility. The only good that ever comes from it is the lesson --which humans still have not mastered -- that war only perpetrates more war. And the lesson there is no good reason for war except for humans to learn just that -- there is never a good reason for war. Nor does the good you seek ever come from it.

And yet we acknowledge all the wars you've waged down through the centuries have been part of your growth, as a race and as individuals.

You keep saying you want peace on earth, even as you go marching off to war. War can never bring peace. Only peace can bring peace. When each of you finds peace within yourselves, you will create peace all around you.

When enough of you find that inner peace you will transform your world into the peaceful planet you've always yearned for.

There is no war to end all wars. Only peace can end war.


* Spirit is referring here to the Roman Catholic Church's so-called "Just War Doctrine."

Now that you've read what John and Spirit have to say about war, do you feel good inside knowing that you feel the same way? The words "war is an exercise in futility" really resonated with me. I remember from the time that I first heard the concept "man's inhumanity toward man" I held that as the ultimate problem in the world.

But then I wonder .. how does war get started? Surely people don't just wake up one day and decide "today is a good day to go to war." There's a lot of anger, frustration, righteousness, and intolerance in war, and all that doesn't just happen. It builds up. And it builds up in a lot of people on either side of any issue.

None of us is innocent when it comes to war, no matter how much we'd like to think that we are. We want to think that we are "above" such things, that if the world were ours to design (and it is ;)) that we'd never choose war as a way of being.

Then I think about my own life, and how intolerant I can be when someone disagrees with me about something that I feel strongly about. Like injustice from corporations. While I've gained a lot of tolerance over the years, I still I get really agitated, upset, and even angry at certain "injustices" that I see in the way corporations treat people, especially when it affects me directly. When that anger about how they treat me/us over takes me (and it does) I just want to scream. While I'm in this state, whoever is on the other side of the phone conversation runs the risk of being the target of my anger, and sometimes even my rage.

In metaphysical terms, we call outbursts like that "spewing energy", and spewing energy is the first step towards .. you guessed it .. towards war. Because intolerance escalates - I want you to behave differently so that I don't have to deal with the discomfort of my anger, and you (obviously and for good reason) don't want to appease me at the expense of your own comfort. One thing leads to another, and before you know it, an individual war is started. As that anger builds over time, more intolerance is created, and eventually, somewhere down the road, global war is started.

It really starts that simply; it starts with each one of us. So the next time we feel good about how we are against war by being FOR peace, think about those little intolerances that still exist in us personally. Because that's where the real march toward peace comes from, it comes from within. It comes from realizing that our little intolerances build and build and build until war is the only possible "solution." When we set aside or diffuse our own intolerance - for anything and everything - then we will truly be a peaceful, war-free, society.

How do we set aside our own intolerances? First, by realizing that the intolerances that we see in the world, either our personal world or the global world, aren't about "others". That external representation is actually how we feel about ourselves, internally.

So the next time you feel intolerance rising, or any extreme negative emotion, ask yourself this "what is it about this experience that I don't like or can't accept about myself?" The solution, no matter what answer you get, is to love that aspect of yourself, and to keep loving it until it can accept that love unto itself. Because loving yourself, at all times and in all situations, is the true and only path to a peaceful life, a peaceful community, and ultimately, a peaceful world.
