Exploring More Deeply "Life As A Game"

In my first-ever post on this blog, titled "The Game", and in my initial post as a contributing editor on the Golden Age of Gaia blog (formerly The 2012 Scenario) I spoke about "The Game of Hide and Seek" as channeled from 'The group' by Steve Rother.

In those articles I talked about how difficult it is to look out into the world and even consider looking at what we're up to as a race and on this planet, as a game. Not surprisingly, I get a fair number of odd responses when I suggest that we do so. As hard as it can be to see this physical reality - which sometimes feels like our worst possible nightmare - as a game, I stand by that analogy. In this post I'll explain why.

Dictionary definition of 'game':

a form of play or sport, esp. a competitive one played according to rules and decided by skill, strength, or luck.

• a complete episode or period of play, typically ending in a definite result: a baseball game

If we think about the games that we like to play - including sports in this analogy, and to some degree even hobbies - we realize that all games have rules. In fact, we could say that each game has a 'rule set' that defines the parameters in which we play the game.

Each game has a playing field, whether that be a place - like a football field or swimming pool in sports, a thing - like the boards used for board games, an environment created in a computer program - like in video games, etc.

Games have 'props' - the equipment used within the game to help create the atmosphere of the game. These might include the cards, dice, or spinners associated with board games, the equipment used in sports games - like the bats, balls, bases, and protective gear used in baseball, or the boats, waders, and poles used in fishing.

Games also generally have time-outs involved. In board games and video games those breaks come when our turn is over, or any time we feel like getting up and getting away from the game. In games like football, baseball, and soccer, those breaks come at designated times - either when our turn at bat is up, when our team has finished its turn, or when a designated period of time has elapsed. These 'breaks' allow the players an opportunity to rest and refresh, an opportunity to evaluate how things are going, and/or to consult with others like coaches and teammates (or things like books or tutorials) to see how our game play might be improved. In other words, in each game there are opportunities for the players to stand apart from the game, either to rest and refresh, or to re-evaluate, to see the game from a different perspective, to learn, to improve; any or all of those things.

Each game has game pieces - those items that we use to play the game. For board games these are typically little wooden or plastic pieces that we use to represent "our character" in the game and move it along the board. In video games our characters are represented by little virtual characters, or in more complex virtual games we use 'avatars'. In sports games, the characters are real people.

But even in games where real people are the players, when playing such a game we are clear that we've taken on a role, and when the game is declared finished, we walk away from it leaving the game piece behind. We realize that we are taking on a role, a role that is not 'us' but 'us playing a game'. We know that we are so much more than that character that we play when we participate in games, whether that character is represented by a game piece, a bunch of pixels, or us dressed up in whatever gear the game requires or expects.

Games are competitive. Even if we're playing a single-person game, like solitare, or some video games, or fishing, if we're honest with ourselves we see that we're either competing with some other player(s) trying to play better than they play, to be more skilled than they are, or we're trying to better ourselves in some way, either by increasing our skill or by obtaining an improved result. It's a rare game player that plays for the sheer enjoyment of playing, with no intention whatsoever to improve, or not caring whether they increase or decrease their skill level. In truth, I don't know if such an attitude is possible for a human being long term, even among the least competitive among us.

Typically, games have a score-keeping system. We can play these games without keeping score or paying attention to the score, but generally there is some method designed into the game that allows us to keep score, to 'track how we're doing'.

All games have challenges. Without challenges we'd get so bored we wouldn't want to continue playing, for what would be the point?

Eventually all games end, and we move on to new games. When we play a game for so long that we've 'done all there is to do' in the game, or nearly so, we also get bored, and desire new games, new challenges. We take this for granted as 'just the way it is' when we involve ourselves in games.

So those are the attributes that I ascribe to games. Now let's look at how those attributes apply to the game that Steve and the group call "The Game of Hide and Seek" and that I will call "Life on Planet Earth".

Applying "Game" to Life on Planet Earth

When I mention that I see life as a game, many people are offended. They equate games with fun, with not being serious. They assume that I'm minimizing the impact of the seriousness of life by equating it with a game.

But if we are honest with ourselves, if we really look at how we play games, we realize that sometimes our games are extremely serious. We can get very involved in our games. I have seen Little League coaches and parents berate their little ones for the tiniest of mistakes, verbally abusing them or even hitting them for what these adults consider to be more serious infractions. Those coaches and parents are taking their game very, very seriously indeed, even to the detriment of their own precious children. I've seen golfers throw whole sets of clubs in a lake, they are so attached to the game.

I'm sure we've all experienced, whether we've said it to another or it was said to us, "It's just a game. Stop taking it so serious!" In online games we have a phrase when someone gets so attached to what's happening in the game that they lose themselves in their character by becoming annoyed, angry, getting their feelings hurt, being abusive, or worse. We tell each other "It's just a game. If you're not enjoying the game, log off and go do something more fun!" Caught up in their virtual reality world as they are, that comment isn't generally well received.

So the first similarity between life and games, is that we can get very caught up in our games. We can lose ourselves in our games and forget that they are games. The distinction between 'real life' and 'game play' can get blurred, sometimes severely so.

And so it is with what I call The Game of Life on Planet Earth. It's not real. It feels real, it looks real, it smells real, it tastes real, it sounds real - because we experience it with our physical senses, senses that were created specifically as a means to experience the game from inside the game. But the game isn't real. It's an illusion, and a very convincing illusion at that. What wonderful creators we were to design a game with such qualities of realism!

How else might our life as human beings on Earth fit with the parameters that are associated with a game?

• We have a set of rules. Those rules depend on what version of the game we're playing (basically, which density we're playing in). On earth in third density and to some degree fourth density, those rules include things like gravity, effects of electricity and electro-magnetism, the physical sciences, the natural sciences, any science that is wholly based on what can only be known using the 5 physical senses. Other rule sets include instant manifestation rather than manufacturing, overcoming gravity, etc.

• We have a playing field. That field is the whole of Earth, the planet-body of the archangelic spirit-being that we know as Gaia. Some have noted that in one of the previous phases of the game, before humanity's 'fall' into third density, our planet was called Terra.

• We have props. The props include everything that we physically see, taste, touch, smell and hear. I recall Seth saying that the very walls in our houses are illusion, but without them we would freeze to death. Obviously we believe in our props very mightily indeed!

• We have time-outs. Sleep is such a time-out. Our (current) environment is so difficult, so dense, so toxic to our spirit, that this little mini-time-out was created in order to rest and refresh not only our body but our spirit. Without sleep we lose our ability to effectively play the game, to navigate the game board. At some point without any sleep we would die. We can equate sleep to a time-out on the field of any sport. We might go sit on the bench, get a breather, and consult with our coaches away from actual game-pay. In video game parlance we might call this "afk" (away from keyboard), and night time sleep "logged off". Another value of sleep is that it allows us to keep our 'game piece' safe and secure while we're out and about playing, learning, aiding, doing in other aspects of our multidimensional life.

Another time-out, of longer duration, is death. With death we abandon our body and move into the astral realms to rest, recuperate, evaluate, integrate, and plan our next participation in the game, if we intend to continue. If we don't plan to continue (by coming back in another body, as a different 'character'), we can choose another game, or choose to participate from 'the other side of the veil' as guides for example. Our choices are unlimited. You could equate death to finishing a game. We can choose to play another round of the game at some point, or we can give up that game altogether and go play some other game. In video game parlance we might call this "deleting our character".

• We have a game piece. That piece of course is our physical body. Without a body we can't play the game. We can consult from the sidelines, which is what our Guides, our Multidimensional Selves, the Glactics, the Angelics and Archangelics, the Ascended Masters, etc., do. They aid us, but they aren't typically playing on the game board (some exceptions apply). As we all know from experience with our various games, coaching is good, appreciated, helpful, and even necessary, but it isn't playing. There's something very different and very profound about being in the game. While it has its own meaning and value, no amount of 'watching from the sidelines' is the same as being in the game. So I could offer each of us here an opportunity for us to appreciate and value the fact that it is us - spirits embodied in human flesh - who are in all ways actually playing the game.

• Our lives are competitive. Whether we are competing against each other or simply working to better our individual selves despite what anyone else is doing, we are driven - it seems - to always be perfecting our roles and our Selves. I would suggest that all of creation is constantly and continually learning, being, doing, expanding, through individual and combined experience. It's a process that never ends, or at least appears never to end.

• We have a score-keeping system. It's called 'karma', and it isn't what we often subscribe to karma. It's not judgement, it's not retribution, it's not punishment. It's a system put in place for us to keep track of how we're doing based on how we intended to do, or what we wanted to do and experience. Upon our release from the body - our death - we stand in front of no Pearly Gates while a snarling St. Peter judges us .. unless that's an experience that we wish to experience. If it is, we create it. Otherwise we simply evaluate our earthly experience, often in cooperation with our guides and their broader perspective, and determine what we will do next. Did we get lost in duality and never really complete something that we had intended to complete? From the broader perspective we realize it doesn't matter. We can always 'have another go', maybe with different supporting characters, in a different locale, at a different point in time, and try it again. All of these choices belong to each one of us, and us alone.

• Life on planet earth certainly has challenges. You might say it's rife with challenges. Too many challenges even! But that doesn't make it any less a game. It simply makes it a very challenging game. Very, very challenging indeed.

• The game has changed. The old game has ended and a new game has begun. We call the transition between the old game and the new game "ascension", and we are all participating in that transition between games whether we realize that we are or not.

Based on all of the above, it looks to me like there are an awful lot of similarities between Life on Planet Earth and what we have come to know as "games."

Reconciling Life on Earth As Both Serious and A Game

So how do we reconcile the horrendous things that happen during our time as physical beings on planet Earth with the concept of it all being a game? It's a difficult concept to accept.

The first difficulty comes when we don't realize that we are eternal, immortal beings. When we don't realize that when we die we're simply removing ourselves from the physical game board (Earth), the concept of 'game' can be impossible to comprehend. From that standpoint, in no way does this feel like a game. In actuality we lose nothing in the death transition other than our latest game piece - the physical body that we created, with help of our biological parents, in order to participate in the game in the most tangible way possible. In other words, the first major difficulty comes when we think that we are our game piece.

Under this illusion we think we've lost something when our loved ones transition out of the body, and from that feeling of loss we suffer. They aren't 'gone' because there's nowhere to go, we're simply continuing to hold to the illusion that because we can't see them with our physical eyes they don't exist. It's a wonderful thing when we realize that we can still communicate with them - if only we can set aside our grief long enough to do so. All of the emotions of loss come from the belief in separation. When we awaken to our true state, we know that we can never truly be out of contact with anyone because we are infinitely, integrally, and irreversibly connected.

Which leads us to another difficulty. It comes from not remembering that all games have challenges. When we're in pain, when our lives don't reflect the cooperation, respect, beauty, abundance - the love - that we feel in our hearts, we find it near impossible to believe that we're playing a game, and doing so by agreement. It can be hard to accept that we chose to be here on Earth at this time, that in fact every moment that we are here we are choosing to be here. But when we do realize that, when we do accept that, we can stop being helpless victims and begin taking charge of our lives from inside the illusion. We become like the characters in The Wizard of Oz who realize that all the power that they thought resided outside of themselves was an illusion, that they had the powers within themselves all along, they simply had to discover that for themselves. From such an awareness we can, little by little by little, allow that illusion to slip until we're no longer operating inside the illusion believing it to be reality. It isn't.

The third difficulty comes when we don't realize that the game has a rule set, and that by virtue of our agreement to play the game, we have agreed to that rule set. If one is living on the planet, they agreed to the rule set, in the same way that when you walk onto a baseball field, bat or glove in hand, you agree to the rules of baseball. The rule set that we have lived, worked, and played under for this phase was third-density duality, complete with a 'veil of unknowing'.

The fourth difficulty comes because we don't realize or accept that all games eventually end, as this one has. But unlike games where it ends and we disappear the game board forever, in this game we decided keep playing on the game board but change the game.

As a race, through the perception and knowing of our higher selves, viewing our participation from outside of physical reality ('the other side of the veil'), we agreed to change the game without moving to a different game board. This decision was made, and a new game plan was agreed upon, during the Harmonic Convergence in August of 1987. This was, of course, no accident. It was always hoped, desired, and intended that humanity would get to the place where the game could continue uninterrupted but with a different rule set. In our timeline that outcome was never guaranteed, all beings associated with the Nova Earth plan brought it into being. The alternative was what did not transpire - wiping the game board clean. Armageddon.

This decision, at the Harmonic Convergence, was perhaps the most incredibly bold and audacious decision ever to be made in our Universe - that a race of beings, stuck as they are under the veil of unknowing, stuck as they are in a deeply dense environment of third density duality, with multiple thousands of years of negative influence deeply engrained, with little to no awareness of who they really are and why they find themselves in this environment, with full freedom to choose to believe or to not believe in their power as creators, unknowing and mostly unable to hear the guidance of their coaches, family, and friends on the other side of the veil, could somehow undo all of that - all of it - and fully realize themselves as the creator gods that they have always been .. wow. That's one tall task. Not only did this race of humans have to accomplish this monumental task, they had to do it in a certain timeframe, a timeframe that matched the ascension of their mother planet. No wonder all of 'the company of heaven' are cheering for what we are accomplishing!

That incredibly auspicious time (the Harmonic Convergence) came and went outside of the conscious awareness of the vast majority of human beings, myself included. I was blissfully (or annoyingly) unaware of this event until some years later. But as I look back, I see that my life changed completely and dramatically the following year, in 1988. In the years since I have come to understand why. As a race we began to unfold the new game then, and I was guided, through my connection with Source, Higher Self, and my guides, to begin preparing for my role in the new game. I began doing this with no clue that this was what was happening .. much the same as many of you who read material like this blog have been unaware of why the changes that are happening in your life, or threatening to happen, are doing so.

In the new game (and I would posit, the old game as well), every single being on the planet has a role to play. Just by being here we each play some portion of our role. But part of the game is to become aware of our role, and to play it consciously rather than unconsciously. At some point each human being will come to embrace their role, either in this lifetime or another. It matters not. We each follow our own path as determined by our own heart and our connection with Source.

And some of us aren't quite ready for the new game. Some of us are not quite done with the old game, haven't 'done all there is to do', haven't accomplished what we set out to accomplish. Some will do that in the coming months, some will not. Those who don't 'finish up' with the old game will place themselves into a similar game in another physical location.

Our old game, the game of third density duality, was so important to our expansion as infinite beings, so appreciated from our perspective on the other side of the veil, that new games were created based on that rule set. So the old game is over on Planet Earth, but it continues elsewhere. Those beings who aren't complete with it can continue to play it if they so choose. They simply won't be playing it here on Earth. But no matter, we are all connected, they aren't going anywhere really. They'll just be playing a different game on a different game board. It happens. Sometimes our friends and loved ones don't want to play that same game(s) we like to play, and while we will miss them, we know - when we take the time to remember that this is so - that we can connect up and be together in other ways at other times. We wish them well and go about creating our new game with all of those who want to play the new game too.

As to creating the new game? Not only are we players in it, we're creating it. How exciting is that?! We get to be the developers AND the players. Not even the company of heaven knows exactly how it's going to look when we're done. They don't even know how it's going to look as it progresses! And we wonder why they can't give us answers. The answers are ours to create. They can give us direction, they can give us assistance, they can give us ideas and concepts, as they have been doing for eons, but actually creating it is up to us. Nova Earth will be created from the will and determination of those who live here, and to me that's an enticing and exciting prospect.

Why Is Such A View of Life on Earth Useful?

So why do we care whether we can view life as a game or not? What's the usefulness, what's the value?

To me, the value of viewing life like a game, or like a play, or like an interactive novel, film, or piece of art, is that it puts the power for each of our individual lives squarely in our hands. From any of these stands it's far easier to accept full, total, 100% responsibility for our experiences. We don't have to like all of those experiences - not all the challenges in a game of any kind feel all that great when we're experiencing them. But seldom do we blame the game itself for what we don't like or are uncomfortable with. We know that, as the player of the game, it's up to us how things go. Even when we think 'luck' is involved, only occasionally do we rail against Lady Luck for abandoning us. And even if we do, eventually we come back to the understanding that it's the experience we're after, and eventually we get pretty bored with any game or activity that provides us with no challenge at all.

What's different, now that the game has changed, is that the challenges take on a different color, shading, and texture. Instead of being challenged to simply survive, challenged to continually protect ourselves from getting hurt, injured, sick or killed, to protect ourselves from being stolen from, abused, lied to, abandoned, defrauded, and whatever else we've been protecting ourselves from, we can instead challenge ourselves in more creative ways. We can challenge ourselves with creating a world that works for everyone, everywhere, no matter who they are, just because they are. We can challenge ourselves to love and appreciate each other no matter who we are, no matter what our beliefs are or what choices we make. We can create new systems, new energy grids, new food sources, new communication methods, new relationships, new communities, new methods for education, new everything! As we remember those skills that we forgot in order to play the old game, unlimited potential is truly ours.

This paradigm shift is possible because we are discovering that inside our heart of hearts we already care about each other, respect each other, love each other, cooperate with each other, and we always have. We didn't show that side to others, or showed it only rarely, because we were too busy, too engaged, in the illusion that we are separate. We are not. We are intricately tied together in a web of light and love that cannot be broken no matter how abysmally we treated each other inside that old game, or any game.

The other game, the game of third density duality is over. Done. Finished. Gone. Kaput. But the illusion continues. Why? We perpetuate that game, and the rule set under which we played it, every time we refuse to respect our own - and each others' - sovereignty.

When we victimize ourselves or victimize others, we're essentially going back to the old paradigm, the one where we weren't sovereign and weren't united and weren't capable of creating our world using our inherent creation skills. But we are capable of creating a new world. We have the skills, if only we remember that we do. If only we remember that we are united, that we are One, and that we participate in games by agreement. It only takes a moment to stand back from the game long enough to remember all of that.


The Ultimate Game

While this whole article has been about The Game of Life on Planet Earth, we could say that the ultimate game, the one being played out in all of creation, is to know God (or whatever name you give to All That Is, the One, Source etc.). Or perhaps better said, to know ourselves as God. For since we are all a spark of God, of Source, of Prime Creator, in knowing more about ourselves, God / Source / Prime Creator knows more about Itself.

So no matter what sub-set of game we are playing, whether it's the game of third density duality, the game of sixth density Unity Consciousness, some other game in our universe, or some game outside of this universe completely, revealing God to Itself is always the underlying and primary game.

How we get to that place, what the journey looks like, what the experiences are, what we learn about being-ness from those experiences, are what comprise the various sub-games that we create for ourselves and find ourselves participating in.

But when all is said and done it all really is .. a game. We can have fun in the game, we can enjoy our experiences, our interactions with one another, we can play as the true creator gods that we are, loving our creations whether they turn out poorly or turn out grandly, or we can play the victim game or the perpetrator game or any variation thereof. It's all up to us, as sovereign individuals and as a combined group consciousness. The choice is ours, it always is. And that's a wonderful and amazing thing.

Sirius The Movie and The Orion Project

Sirius The Movie

As many of you already know, Dr. Stephen Greer, Founder of The Disclosure Project, The Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI) and The Orion Project, along with Filmmaker Amardeep Kaleka, have teamed up to produce a full length disclosure film. This film is due to be released soon. It's a groundbreaking piece that puts much already existing information into a visual story that I hope will see wide distribution. The time is now for us to expand our awareness that not only are we not alone in the Universe, but to realize that that truth has been withheld from us by the very governments and corporations that we have trusted.

I don't know what all the film entails since it hasn't been released yet, but I hope they end it with the knowing that these beings that we have called "aliens", that have been painted in such a frightening way that our first visceral response to the possibility of their existence is fear, are instead our brothers and sisters in every way. While certain negative factions of other-worldly beings exist, in the same way that negative factions of humans exist, by far the majority are not, in the same way that by far the majority of humans are people of good hearts and loving motivation. We have nothing to fear from our brothers and sisters in the sky, and much to learn. What I hope the films shows is that the portrayal of them as fearful was done on purpose, to keep the real truth from being known. It's disheartening to realize the depth and breadth of the deception, but entirely freeing to realize that it was a deception and not what's ultimately true.

From Stephen Greer's blogsite:

In his book, “Disclosure: Military and Government Witneses Reveal the Greatest Secrets in Modern History”, Dr. Greer compiled a wealth of quotes showing how seriously important scientists, military and political figures have taken the issue of earth being visited by Extraterrestrials. These quotes were part of his Sirius Lecture Event (SLE) which forms the thread of the Sirius film. At the SLE, Dr. Greer connected the dots to show how this information interrelates with other evidence found.

We hope the Sirius film will open the door to that knowledge to people who have not been interested in exploring it before. In the meanwhile there is a wealth of information, documents and papers at the Disclosure Project website and at the CSETI (Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence) website.

The movie is intended to be released this spring.



Official trailer release on Vimeo.

One of several trailer uploads on YouTube.

While I was watching this trailer, I thought some of the sound bites and music were overly dramatic and wondered what the producers' thinking was behind doing the trailer this way. On Amardeep Kaleka's Vimeo upload page, I found a clue in his response to a poster asking the same question:

Amardeep Kaleka, 3 weeks ago

:-) ... Introducing UFOs and Aliens to most people is going to be dramatic... especially in a Trailer. It's hard to do it in any other way within a 2 hour film. A 100 hour TV franchise like Ancient Aliens can do it in a more calm way. However, Epic is the NEL style. Because we don't like to use nuance that tends to leave people in a middle gray. We rather paint the picture and involve the senses - especially in a trailer. Thanks for the support guys.

From that comment, my take is that the film is geared to a particular audience who might not be interested enough to pursue this subject any other way, and are used to big drama. I can't say I disagree. As a society, drama gets our attention. It engages the senses and infiltrates our belief system in interesting ways. So although it isn't my preference, I guess being infiltrated with truths isn't all bad. *grin*

The Orion Project

I hadn't realized until I was doing research for this post that Stephen Greer was involved with The Orion Project. I love the openings in possibility that this project provides. In my mind it's time we all realized that technologies already exist to solve many of the issues we see in our world today, their release and implementation are the only things left to do. But it all starts with our beliefs. If people don't believe such things are possible, they won't accept them even when confronted with them. So I thank The Orion Project for their dedication to not only educating us, but to seeing these things through to completion.

As to how fast it can go? Think about the discovery of the transistor, a technology that replaced vacuum tubes. It was a mere 50 years between the discovery and initial development of this basic technological concept - the basis for semiconductor and printed circuit technology - and today's cell phone. And that discovery represents the stone age, really, as far as what's possible with technology. Imagine how quickly technology can evolve things like globally available free energy, once the initial discoveries and existing groundwork are released.

Orion Project Vision and Purpose

The Orion Project is an organization created to transform the current energy, environmental and social crisis into a world of sustainability and enlightened abundance.

Technological progress in the areas of advanced physics and electromagnetic systems, if appropriately supported, will enable humanity to live on the Earth with a minimal footprint with genuine long-term sustainability.

For over 100 years, these advanced concepts in energy generation have either been ignored or actively suppressed due to the power of fossil fuel based economic and industrial interests.

• Imagine a world where every home and village has its own clean source of electrical energy, free from the cost of fossil fuels, nuclear power or a centralized electric grid.

• Imagine every means of transportation running off of clean power plants, using no source of fuel and creating no pollution.

• Imagine the developing world blossoming with these new technologies and the equatorial rain forests protected from slash and burn subsistence farming and logging.

• Imagine all inter-city transportation above the ground and the millions of acres paved over with highways freed for productive agriculture and recreation.

• magine all manufacturing being clean-fuel sourced, using no-cost or low-cost energy.

• Imagine the possibility of 100% recycling because the energy cost of transporting recycled materials, processing them and scrubbing pollution out of the air and water approaches zero.

Imagine...

This is no mere pipe dream, but a world that is well within our grasp to create and do so in our lifetimes. Imagine... and see that it is a reality.


The Orion Project is dedicated to:

Supporting the world's most accomplished engineers, physicists, and inventors who have developed innovative solutions to energy generation.

Cleaning up the fossil fuel power sources currently in use.

Imagine indeed. Imagine all this being our reality, the sooner the better.

Nova Earth Day - February 14, 2013

A message from Gaia through Linda Dillon:

No one has ever asked me to be their Valentine, and yet here you are, stepping forward, in your humility and your glory, and you are saying, not only am I asking you to be my Valentine, but I am asking you that we celebrate this day for you — for the sister, for the friend, for the Mother that has always loved you, that has always loved each and every one of you, regardless of your background, your heritage, your lineage.

So as we spend this first Valentine's Day of the new era appreciating our very special loved ones, as we continue to move forward into the new paradigm, let us also celebrate our mother, our sister, our friend, Gaia, the archangelic spirit-being upon whose body we enjoy our own lives - Planet Earth. For this powerful being has suffered much from us over time, but she has loved us anyway, every step of the way. Let us love her equally unconditionally in return; thank and appreciate her for providing the opportunity to play with her and upon her; and let us pledge to renew both our own spirits and hers as we work together to create a world that works for everyone, with no one and nothing left out.

As Steve Beckow so aptly put it:

So get your red shoes on, your dancing shoes, your best birthday shoes, and walk the yellow brick road with us to the Golden Age of Gaia. Because in less than 24 hours, we hold a love fest for Gaia and a day of proclaiming that equality, unity and peace have arrived on Planet Earth – Nova Earth Day.

About Those Children ...

I highly recommend the following article for all parents, grandparents, teachers, educators, and anyone interested in the education and nurturing of children.

While it is true that it is our role to guide our children as they grow and mature, let us not be dissuaded from seeing their brilliance just because they are in little tiny bodies. These are big big entities, here to show us what is possible for the race of human being. I suggest we be prepared .. they are going to get us (and society at large) to think outside the box in any way they can, even if it means breaking all the 'rules'.

Time has never been better for us to create a new paradigm in education and learning, eh? :)

“A new “breed” of humans; what to expect from the children incarnating now”

Angelic Guides through Taryn Crimi, Feb 5, 2013

Today we would like to focus your attention on the children who are now incarnating into your reality. With each new generation progress is made; however these children are more advanced than ever before. They are not only more advanced in their capabilities, they also are chemically and innately different on a cellular level as well. It is our intention to give you our perspective on the changes which you can expect to see in the children coming into your reality and what they will be capable of.

New parents at this time are faced with raising very different children than ever before. What has worked for previous generations will no longer be sufficient or advisable for this “new breed” of humans; you might say these children are the first of the hybrid humans. For many generations the milestones which have become markers of a child’s development have remained the same; however within the last 5-7 years there have been large changes to the children’s development that cannot always be measured on a statistical graph. Babies are born much more alert than ever before; from the instant these “old souls” enter this reality they are ready to make their mark, they are eager to take everything in. Children have always held very high vibrations, they do not have any limiting beliefs in place which would serve to lower their vibration. They are fascinated by the simple joys in life, and are capable of living in the now moment. A baby does not worry about tomorrow, nor do they dwell on past events; they simply are present in the now moment and experience each moment to the fullest.

The children who are incarnating into this reality have very large roles to fill. They have agreed to come here to hold the template for the ascended human. Their capabilities reflect what is possible in the higher dimensions. Previously, you had all come into this world in order to experience duality, to gain valuable lessons from the vast life experiences which are available to you. You had large overall lessons which you wanted the opportunity to master with each lifetime; however these children are no longer coming in with any limiting beliefs to clear of their own, but rather they are here to help all of you to release what no longer serves you. These children will not come in with as much to regain or remember as past generations have. They are here to show you how to live in the higher dimensions. As you are evolving, as you are growing and elevating in consciousness, you are making great strides in regaining your true power. These young children are here to offer you a new perspective, a new way of living together. Children have always been known to offer very candid advice, however it was rarely taken seriously.

Scientists eventually will begin to see the changes which can be detected in these children’s brains. Their brains do not function quite like any before. A larger portion of their brain will be activated and therefore you will see new abilities and skills coming from these children; what once seemed impossible will grow to be expected. You will be able to see evidence of this on medical devices such as CAT scans which will show a much higher degree of activity at any one time. As a child learns and develops, pathways are created in the brain that will allow for that skill or information to be accessed. These new children will have far more pathways than ever has been previously recorded. This will allow for the optimal use of each section of the brain to allow for the greatest potential to be accessed.

It is said that the average human uses only about 10% of their brain. A common misconception about this notion is the assumption that this percentage refers to intelligence. However by using more of your brain as it was originally designed to be used will allow for a higher degree of connection between your higher self and your physical mind. This will allow for much more than simply an expansion of your knowledge base. When using your brain to its fullest potential, knowledge can be easily acquired anytime new information is needed; not because you will have a greater ability to comprehend but more so because you will be once again universally reconnected and all information is readily available for you to “download” at any moment. What has taken previous generations years of intense training and memorization can be easily downloaded into your mind whenever you desire. This is just one of the infinite skills you will once again have access to once you become fully conscious beings. Utilizing 100% of your brain will allow you to reach abilities which you have only dreamed of acquiring; an increase in overall intelligence is just one of the many uses of your brain. That would be similar to using one of the world’s most powerful computers as a calculator for basic numeric calculations. Well yes, it does have the ability to calculate numbers, however that is just one of the many things it is capable of. And so it is with your brains. And this is what these new children will begin to demonstrate.

These new children will be incredibly receptive and in tune with not just the thoughts and feelings of those around them, but also of the energy of the past, present and future as well. The psychic abilities of these children will far exceed anything you have seen before. Many of these children will be telepathic. They will be able to send and receive the thoughts of others, near or far, it will not matter. It will be incredibly important for these gifts to be cultivated by their parents and care takers. Although these children will be born with these gifts and abilities, if they are not nurtured and encouraged to develop these skills, these skills will weaken over time.

The chemical and genetic makeup of these children is physically different than any previous human before. You will notice that these children are incredibly sensitive both in their own feelings as well as to others. They will not learn in the same manner as children did before them. The old ways of learning will seem quite boring to them and they will regularly lose interest. Mundane memorization of random facts will be of no use to them. This is because your world is changing drastically, you can see this already. Anything you would like to know can be “searched” on your internet in a matter of seconds. So what need will these children truly have for memorizing such facts? New skills will be required of these children who will be moving forward in an ever evolving world.

These children will not respond well to stresses placed on them by outdated traditions; what we mean by this is that they will not prosper in an environment that expects them to follow orders which are given to them simply because “that’s the way it’s always been”. Many traditions continue without the necessity which once created the tradition in the first place. Many continue to pass them down simply because that’s what they were taught and they simply see no reason to change. These children will help to replace the old way of doing things, with new ways that are beneficial for all. Many industries such as your medical profession, school systems, financial industry, and politics are in need of drastic changes. These children will question everything, as they are here to break the mold and introduce a new way of thinking.

You have started to see the very beginning stages of the changes in how these children learn with the children who have been labeled as ADD or ADHD. The medical profession says that these children have a defect that does not allow them to focus, however we have a different perspective. These children do not have a defect but rather they simply are unable to properly express the unique gifts and abilities that lie within them in a system that is unwilling to evolve. It’s not that they cannot focus; they simply choose not to focus their attention on old and outdated methods of learning. We recommend that you find what these children are passionate about and ask them to expound upon this topic and many would be amazed at their uncanny ability to absorb a tremendous amount of information on the topic. Their minds are much more capable then they are given credit for; however they are not being stimulated or encouraged to use their minds in a suitable manner. Their minds work in a different way than what is considered to be “normal”. Many parents have been taught to fear any deviation their child displays from the normal progression of development of other children, however it is our wish to assure you that this is nothing to fear but rather we ask that you embrace the uniqueness of each child. The new standard will simply be, there is no “norm”.

These new children require a more individualized education rather than one that is fashioned for all to fit into its mold. You will see more and more of these new children who will not resonate with the old systems and as their numbers grow, they will force the education systems to grow and evolve. More and more the medical field will search for a label to give to these children who do not fit the “norm”, however it will not be long before the education system takes notice that there is nothing “wrong” with these very bright students, they simply do not learn the way children used to. All children are hungry for knowledge, however not all children are hungry for the same knowledge. Many of the current education systems are focused on merging a diverse group of children into very similar molds, however these new children will prosper in environments which they are encouraged to develop their unique gifts and in doing so, they will flourish amongst diversity.

Not all children will share the same skill set, nor will they all experience the exact same development. Just as all of you have your own unique gifts and abilities, so too will they. In fact more and more you will notice that the “normal range” of development for a child will widen considerably, as each child will flourish in their own way at their own pace. However, we do want to touch on just some of the abilities that you will start to see develop within these children. Some children will possess strong psychic abilities, while some will possess tremendous healing abilities; others will use their incredible creativity to shape and mold the world around them in ways that will astound you. Some will amaze you with their natural talent to draw such vivid pictures at very young ages. Some will develop the ability to shift and move physical objects with their minds, while others will be able to simply “download” any knowledge, or talent which they want to possess. Some will possess a “super-natural” ability to manipulate numbers in their minds in just a matter of seconds, while others will be able to “see” the energy that exists all around you. We are not saying that any one child will possess all of these talents….yet. However, know that all of these abilities have lied dormant within your own physical bodies; although, these children will be born with these abilities already activated. In many ways they will show those around them what is possible, they will help many to see what has always been right in front of them. There will come a time when all of these skills are no longer seen as extraordinary, but rather they will become ordinary.

What you call instinct within the animal kingdom is simply innate knowledge that is passed from the mother to their offspring. There will come a time when children will not have to be taught like they are now, but rather all of the knowledge which the mother possess will be transferred to their child during pregnancy. We want you to imagine just how fast the human population will evolve when each new generation can simply expand upon the knowledge that was gained by the previous generation and no longer have to relearn the “basics”. Children of future generations will still require parenting, however much of the mundane information which requires so much time will be by passed. Parents will be able to focus their attention on other more important experiences; such as cultivating the child’s individual interests from a very early age.

Much of this may sound impossible to you now, but know that there will come a day when this will all be common knowledge to the human population. These children hold the template for what lies innately in every human. You will notice that these children will all be unique in their own right; however their development will be similar in that they do not learn in the same way that other children before them have learned. These children, at a very young age will seek to introduce views which will embrace difference rather than fear it; perspectives that will consider what is best for the community rather than any one individual. As these children grow into mature adults they will inherit this world in which you live, and they will continue to make changes to ensure that with each new generation, humans continue to evolve back into the higher dimensions from which you all came. These children are just the beginning of the dawning of a brand new civilization.

We hope that this message has in some way served to enlighten you as it is always our wish to simply share our perspective on the reality in which you call “home”

In love and light, we are your Angelic Guides.

Jennifer Hoffman: How do I deal with my anger?

Anger is an interesting emotion in our society. Having been a male-energy-dominated society for so long, for many of us anger has become an acceptable way to express ourselves. For others of us, typically those who are very sensitive and/or empathic, we are afraid of our anger. We know our anger is hurtful to whomever its directed at, and very often we don't even want to feel anger arise in us, let alone express it.

But anger left unexperienced is as harmful to us as any other negative emotion unexperienced - it only gets worse. You can be sure that someone experiencing and expressing rage didn't start out at rage, they simply never learned how to experience and express their anger in its earlier stages. It results from a feeling of powerlessness, and its expression is one way we try to get that lost power back.

That said, experiencing anger doesn't mean we need to give in to our anger through outbursts, although expressing anger is far better than holding it in and letting it fester and grow. Instead we can examine our anger and experience it without hurting or involving others, even if the examination stage comes after an outburst.

In the article below, Jennifer Hoffman talks about what anger represents and has some suggestions for how to deal with it.

Q&A: How Do I Deal With My Anger?

Published January 30, 2013

By Jennifer Hoffman

Dear Jennifer: I have been working so hard on my spiritual growth but I still struggle with anger from things that happened in the past and I get very angry with people in my life who don’t honor their commitments to me. I’m angry at the people who abuse animals and children and at anyone who takes advantage of others. I feel that this is not very spiritual behavior so I am angry with myself for being angry. Is it OK to feel anger and how do I release it so I can think of these situations without feeling so angry?

Jennifer’s Answer: We judge ourselves too harshly when we think that by being spiritual we have to also be above our normal human emotions, feelings and reactions. Anger is an emotion that reflects resistance to something. It is also a judgment that reflects an unmet expectation or belief. We feel anger towards people because we think they should act more kindly or respectfully towards us than we do. We also feel anger at situations that we think are unjust or unfair. Overall, anger is a reflection of our own fear around being powerless.

If you are angry over something from your past, was there an unmet expectation around this issue? Did someone do something that hurt you and you expected them to act differently? Were you powerless to change the situation and that made you angry? When we’re afraid, especially in situations where we feel powerless, are at risk of being hurt (in any way, physically, psychically, and emotionally), anger is how we express that fear. Just as we laugh when we’re happy, we get angry when we are afraid. Anger makes us feel powerful and allows us to take action, despite our fear. It’s a very ancient response that once served to save our lives so we could run away from dinosaurs. Now it serves a new purpose as a powerful tool for transformation. It is not ‘non-spiritual’, it’s very human. The solution to anger is to use it and not suppress, bury or ignore it. The opposite of anger is acceptance and it is healed through the energy of love (hint: love is an energy, not an emotion and you can hold the energy of love for people you are angry with).

All people get angry because they are human and have emotions and everyone has a spirit, so they are all ‘spiritual’. As a human you will feel emotional energy; what is important is what you do with that energy. If we consider anger as just an emotion and nothing else, it becomes another tool for transformation. Knowing what your anger is about, what it means to you, and where you feel powerless creates the opportunity for healing and transformation and the anger becomes the point of change.

From that point of powerlessness, you can see where you limit your own power, where you think that others limit your power, and what you expect of others by always thinking they should be in their power and highest aspects. When you see people in their highest aspects, and not as they are, you get angry with them for not living up to their potential (and all of the connections between you that this affects) and you feel powerless and helpless. But you are not seeing them as they really are and that is your issue, not theirs.

Anger shows us where we resist truth, our own and that that of others. When we see anger as another emotion, we can stop judging it as ‘bad’ and ourselves for being in our humanity. Then we can use every experience to complete our healing path instead of blocking the flow of healing through judgments. It is possible to use anger to know where we are wounded, vulnerable, feel helpless, wish someone would rescue us, martyr and victimize ourselves and then learn to express ourselves in more powerful ways. Each place where we resist is a potential for transformation, as long as we move beyond judgment and into understanding. Learn to observe your anger, learn from it, heal the wound and then release everything around it, including you. Then you will feel more powerful and from that point, will experience fewer opportunities to be angry.

Anger and Its Relationship to Fear

In a recent post, titled "Fear And Our Future" I talked about how fear keeps us from achieving the vibrations - both individually and as a mass consciousness - that all of us seek, even if we aren't consciously aware of that seeking. I spoke of my own experiences with and clearing fear. But there's more to fear than meets the physical eye. Fear has many expressions, and anger is one of them.

In some ways, anger seems like the opposite of fear: Anger is forceful, strong, and external, while fear appears to be more cowering, tentative, and internal. But while the physical and emotional expression of anger differs from the physical and emotional expression of fear, they are deeply related to each other. Anger is simply another way in which we express fear.

As with fear, anger is rooted in a feeling of powerlessness. But whereas fear is expressed as giving our power away, anger is expressed as attempting to take power from someone else. The only reason we'd want or need to take power from another is because we want to get back something that we believe we've lost - our own power. Anger attempts to shift the fear to someone else, shifting the powerlessness to them, which helps us feel like we got some power back. A worthy tactic, but not one that's going to aid us in getting to where we want to be, living together as One in harmony, ease, and grace.

So if we are attempting to get to the source of fear - and it's my belief that this is a valuable thing for us to be doing - it's useful to examine what anger is, what makes us angry, and how to clear it. For underneath the anger lies the fear that we are attempting to hide from through our expression of anger.

The following article from The Arcturian Group through Marilyn Raffaele explains in another way why examining and shifting out of anger is useful.

The Arcturian Group Message: January 27, 2013
As channelled by Marilyn Raffaele at Oneness of All – January 27, 2012

Greetings dear ones. We speak to you in this time of change and fear, for many are still holding on to fears which in turn push them to make less that perfect choices. This is not a criticism, but simply an observation of the world’s state of consciousness. It is perfectly understandable that you would experience fear, for all around you are the signs of war, death, and violence. However, these appearances can take you deeper should you choose.

Use these times to evaluate your belief systems, asking yourselves; “What is it that I believe? What is it that I wish to create in my life? What am I still holding on to that I now know is not truth?”

If you wish to change the manifestation of that which is not of the highest light in your lives and your world, then these questions must be seriously pondered. Too many simply sit and wait for others to do the work of changing the outer scene.
The material world (that which you can see, hear, taste, touch, and smell) is the manifestation of spiritual reality, but as interpreted according to the states of consciousness of those in the world. Where one sees a magnificent living forest, another sees only the money to be had in cutting it all down.

When you understand this, you will also understand the great hope embodied within the constitution of the United States. This document was brought into being by illumined souls who were being guided from this side because the world was ready to bring in a new awareness, new ways of living, and a new and higher sense of life. However, as with all truth, much of it was and still is being interpreted according to less evolved states of consciousness resulting in its often being misused and misinterpreted.

Be aware dear ones, that you are here to learn and grow and evolve, not to simply for enjoyment and pleasure. Joy is an important part of living because it most closely resonates with the energy of the higher dimensions, but living only for the pleasure and satisfactions of life on earth is not joy.

This topic we are choosing to talk about today is anger, for anger has become a dominant energy among so many individuals, countries, and societies. Anger arises out of the third dimensional belief of duality and separation. There are many occasions when one indeed needs to speak up and state their truth or take action, but we are speaking of the general invasive anger based on appearances now permeating the earth. This subject is rarely talked about in channels, but we believe that there must be a correct understanding of anger in order for the spiritual student to move beyond it in its negative form.

Anger energy holds many in bondage to events, experiences, and people from the past, and needs to be released if one is to spiritually evolve. Anger energy can form energetic cords to people, places, and events which often stay in place from lifetime to lifetime. These need to be consciously removed, and this can be done through intention and visualization or by a spiritually evolved energy worker. You will know if you have energetic cords to someone or something by the negative or even positive reactions you experience when thinking or being with them. Energetic cords connect you to someone or something in a more intense way.

Anger is the fuel of war, and frequently holds whole countries in bondage to the past – generation after generation. It is an obsolete energy that acts to prevent individuals and governments from ever moving forward. Anger results from the misunderstanding of groups, individuals, countries, ideas, and anything that does not fit in with one’s personal concepts. It permeates many organized religions, serving only to separate people in what could be a time of great awakening.

We do not say you are never to speak your truth, or that you must agree with everyone, but we say that the time has come for the world to embrace dialog and understanding of others’ points of view instead of looking to violence or a stubborn refusal to compromise for solutions.

There are still many countries that hold anger and grudges toward those of another country for events of the past, teaching their children to hate and hold obsolete and finished energy from one generation to the next. This is what keeps people and countries from evolving and bringing in the new earth you seek dear ones, for the Light of that new world you desire cannot manifest in an ever renewing heavy block of dense energy.

This is not a message urging all to become door mats, or to simply ignore situations while saying; “Oh well, God is all, it isn’t real” for this is indeed “human”. We are simply alerting you to the subtle energy of anger that at this time you are unaware is underlying many of your choices and ideas.

Speak your truth, take whatever human footsteps are needed to change things to a higher level – bringing light to those issues that need changing, but do it with an energy of awakened understanding and not the energy of anger. Anger energy imbues the object of the anger with power and reality.

Strong words or actions may need to be taken in some circumstances, but when they carry the energy of awareness, they hold a different resonance than when done in an energy of hate or anger. This way of working starves the energy of anger which will in turn lesson and finally disappear for it is only the false concepts of duality and separation that keep it alive.

Living As Our Multidimensional Self

While I follow a number of spiritual blogs and channels, perhaps none speak more clearly to what resonates with me currently than Suzanne Lie and her "Multiple Realities" series. I can't say that I completely understand what she's presenting, but I know that she continues to describe different phases of the perception point where I strive to be.

Do you want to be the one who plays the game and thinks it is real? Or, do you want to be your SELF? Your Multidimensional SELF is projecting its light through your spark-point to interact with and contribute to the tapestry of over 7-billion individual versions of the reality that is cast onto the holographic screen.

Ascension is turning around inside your Embryo of SELF to log into your Multidimensional SELF rather than the holographic game. What would that be like, you wonder? What would it be like to awaken one morning to find yourself logged into the holographic game and realize that the game is not real? At that point will you know that YOU are real? Will you know that the Essence of each person, plant animal and planetary structure is real?

Interesting too, is Sue's description of Mytre and his experience piloting a scout ship with his intent alone. That story has become a touchstone for me. Whenever I find myself stuck in the mire of this density, believing in the hologram and not in my ability to create I remember that scene and I think .. if Mytre can pilot a space craft with his belief and intent alone, surely I can project what I want to see into this silly hologram! I can't say that I'm 100% successful at that, or even successful in the majority, but I can acknowledge, appreciate, and enjoy the successes that I've had, while knowing that I can do more. Practice, practice, practice as Steve Rother and the group love to say! :)

For convenience, Part 6 of Sue's series is reproduced in full below.

Multiple Realities 6
The Embryo of SELF

through Suzanne Lie

Our Dearest Ones,

You are now gestating your Embryo of SELF within your field of consciousness. This Embryo is the expression of your true, Multidimensional SELF who will lead you through your process of personal and planetary ascension. Many of our ascending ones went through great doubt when the proposed time of ascension came and went like a cloud crossing the sky. What you did not see was what was occurring within your SELF, as you were looking into the hologram instead of into the Truth.

This Truth is different for each one of you, which is the glory of your myriad incarnations in a world of polarity and individuality. This individuality allowed you to find a personal expression of your Being, which is somewhat unique in the Multiverse. As you have seen, there are many negative side effects of the degree of individuality that your world has experienced.

The main negative side effect is the loss of connection to your Multidimensional SELF. The individuality that your world has taught you has cast you into your own perception of reality, which is often different from that of those with whom you share your life. These varying perceptions of reality can easily cause strife, which has been so very common. However, if you now turn around inside of your SELF, you will see that this individuality is yet another version of the many illusions in which you have lived.

Inside of your SELF is the YOU who created the illusion of the separation, which led to the appearance of individuality. We speak of the illusion that whatever each one of you does, thinks, feels, desires or expresses, affects you and you only. On the other hand, when you look onto the matrix, which is the format for the illusions of separation in your world, you will see that you are all completely and infinitely connected.

Your individuality is actually your personal spark-point in the Matrix through which you are inter-connected to every other individual spark-point. Within the Embryo of your SELF you can perceive how your spark-point allows you to interact with the Matrix that connects you to every other spark-point. In fact, from within the Matrix you can see the flow of energy that is sharing its perceptions of SELF through their personal spark-point.

Therefore, we ask that you use your wonderful imagination to turn your eyes around and push open the curtain to see who is creating the illusion. Yes, the creator of your illusion is YOU. Do you see how your individuality allows each of you to see the same flow of energy in a slightly different way? Do you understand how each of you share your interpretation of the same flow and project it out through your spark-point and into the illusion of your 3D reality?

Furthermore, you each believe that you are different. Hence, you take on many different roles to create variety in the reality that you are ALL creating. However, you forgot that you ALL are creating this reality. You have forgotten that you live in a vast tapestry that is constructed of over 7-billion spark-points that are all projecting their perception onto the illusion of your physical world. You have all done such a fine job of creating your reality that you forgot that your world is an illusion.

You forgot that if you turned your mind around you could see, not the holographic picture that was created by each Spark-Point, but the Matrix of your holographic screen. In fact, we ask you to NOW turn your mind around. Turn your emotions around. Turn your perceptions around. Place your attention and intention, not on the tapestry of projected light, but on the light that is being projected out through your spark-point.

If you do so you will realize that YOU are each projectors of light. You are each movie cameras who are projecting your perceptions of reality onto the holographic tapestry of third dimensional reality. Each of you is projecting your individual experience of reality out through your individual portal, spark-point, and onto the holographic screen of the third dimensional illusion. Then, somehow, you each must find a way to pull the over 7-billion different projections into some cohesive form of reality as you know.

However, each of YOU only knows reality through your own, individual interpretation of a huge collage with over 7-billion pictures. Do you understand now why there are certain pictures that do not peacefully flow into the next picture? Do you realize now why certain pictures are very big, as that spark-point wants the dominate the holographic screen, while other pictures are very small pictures as that spark-point want to be as invisible as possible?

However, not ONE of you is invisible to your Higher Expression of SELF. Not ONE of you is insignificant to your Multidimensional SELF. Your Multidimensional SELF does not exist within the holographic image that you have thought of as your reality. Your SELF flows within the matrix which is the foundation of the reality that you believe is "real." Your SELF knows that your reality is only a holographic projection and that only YOU are real.

You are real because YOU are the projection from your Multidimensional SELF. You do not know that you are a projection onto this huge "video game" because you have become lost in your avatar self, your individual holographic projection. You forgot that your spark-point is a window through which you can look into the hologram, a door through which you can join the video game.

Most important, you forgot that your spark-point determines what version of the game you are playing. When you "wake up" in the morning, you find yourself in the avatar body that you believe is your individual self. However, you forgot that this game is a collective game, and every single input into the game is displayed onto the holographic screen that you think is YOUR world.

Your Embryo of SELF is the YOU that quietly whispers to your spark-point to remind you that you do not have to log into that holographic illusion. It is just a game. Do you want to be the one who plays the game and thinks it is real? Or, do you want to be your SELF? Your Multidimensional SELF is projecting its light through your spark-point to interact with and contribute to the tapestry of over 7-billion individual versions of the reality that is cast onto the holographic screen.

Ascension is not the video game, as this game is not real. Ascension is turning around inside your Embryo of SELF to log into your Multidimensional SELF rather than the holographic game. What would that be like, you wonder? What would it be like to awaken one morning to find yourself logged into the holographic game and realize that the game is not real? At that point will you know that YOU are real? Will you know that the Essence of each person, plant animal and planetary structure is real?

The Multidimensional Projector who sends its light into the Matrix to be projected out through one of its myriad spark-points is real. However, each spark-point puts their personal perception of reality onto that Light. All these projections, which adhere to the tapestry of over 7-billion experiences of reality, are a holograph. Do you want to be the projection of your version of reality, or do you want to be the Multidimensional Projector who projects the Truth into the Matrix?

What would you see if you turned around inside yourself to look, not into the hologram, but into your Multidimensional Projector SELF? If you could BE your SELF you could consciously project your Light into the Matrix, then consciously receive that multidimensional light and project it out through your spark-point.

We are aware that you are all very attached to your holographic game. In fact, we, your Higher Expressions of SELF, are also attached to this game. We want this game to have a happy ending as much as you do. However, we know that it is a game and that it is not REAL. We also know that each spark-point is only one of over 7-billion spark-points who are projecting their version of reality onto the holographic screen.

Most of these spark-points are projecting a version of reality based on third-dimensional illusions because they have not yet remembered that they are their SELF. Hence, they only know the reality that is projected onto the holographic screen. Therefore, they do not realize that they can logout of the game whenever they are tired of being an individual that is separate from over 7-billion other individuals. They do not know that they have played this gave over and over and over and over. When the avatar self “dies,” they finally get to logout of the game.

Fortunately, many of you, our ascending ones, are projecting your multidimensional light and unconditional love into the game, but you are very tired of this game. However, you do no want to lose the game. You do not want to abandon the game and let it crash. You want to WIN the game. You want to win the game by remembering that it is not real. You want to remember that YOU are the Multidimensional Projector of Light and not just another individual spark-point that believes the game is real.

In other words, you want to be the Embryo of your Multidimensional SELF. You want your Embryo SELF to ascend into another magnificent expression of YOUR immense multidimensional light and unconditional love. Therefore, instead of logging back into the game each morning and forgetting your SELF, you want to start each morning-login by reminding your individual self that YOU are NOT the projection!

YOU are the Multidimensional Projector who consciously logs into the game, consciously puts on your avatar self and consciously remembers that YOU are the projector and NOT the projection. Now, we would like you to also remember that your Projector SELF is one of our lower frequencies of expression. YOU are one of us, the Galactics, Celestials and Ascended Masters, at a lower frequency of our Multidimensional SELF.

As our lower frequency of SELF, you have created and/or maintained an individual expression so that WE can login to Planet Earth Hologram. We, your Higher SELF, want to win this game too. We do NOT want the game to end with our dark-side avatar self never awakening. We do NOT want to end this game with our ascending avatar dying before you live the glorious experience of planetary ascension.

We realize that you, our avatar selves, need our help. We understand now that we made the game too difficult. We created a game to see if beings could become totally separated into individuals, and still remember their Higher Expression of SELF. This game was too difficult for anyone to win because too many dark-ones decided to never remember their light. Therefore, we have made a holographic insert into our game to assist our spark-point’s avatar self.

This holographic insert is the option for you to remember that YOU are OUR projection into the Matrix. We realize that if you are to win this game, you will have to remember that you are a great multidimensional being. Therefore, if you can turn inside to consciously perceive our magnificent multidimensional light and unconditional love being projected into you, you can use your spark-point as a light portal through which YOU can be the Projector of our Higher Light and Love.

More and more of our spark-points have come to the final level of this game. This final level is known as “The Ascension Home.” We want you to know that we are projecting as much of our collective light and love into YOU as you can tolerate. In this manner, we are be able to awaken the sleeping avatars, transform the dark-side avatars and bring your Embryo of SELF into full awareness.

Dear ascending ones, do you understand now why you are so very tired and why you need so much sleep? Do you understand now why you are suffering so many symptoms of transformation (illness) and/or feel agitated, nervous, anxious and/or depressed? Your small, low frequency avatar body is being stressed to the maximum.

Fortunately, YOU can merge into us, your Higher Expressions, to recharge and expand your consciousness so that you can consciously accept and project our multidimensional light and unconditional love into OUR shared game. Of course, ALL life is real. However, the illusion of life is not real because it is a distortion of energy patterns. These distorted energy patterns resonate to the very low frequency of the third and fourth dimensions.

On the other hand, with this new insert, we can project our multidimensional light and unconditional love into YOU, our Embryos of SELF. Then, you can project our Light onto the 3D hologram. In this manner, you become a Multidimensional Projector of the highest frequencies of light, which is unconditional love. This projection of Light and Love into you, and then into the hologram, will increasingly transmute the illusion of separation and polarity into the Truth of Unity and Oneness.

We end this transmission by reminding you to remain conscious of what you project into the hologram. You are our representatives and have the innate ability to transmute illusion into Truth. Thus, when you awaken in the morning, please take a moment to consciously remember who you really are! Carry this remembrance throughout your day. Then, when you “fall asleep,” you logout of the 3D Game and can return Home to us.

Blessings from The Arcturians and ALL your Higher Expressions of SELF

Fear. And Our Future.

Hello my friends.

Well here we are, more than a month since my last posting.

In that time, when I have looked out into the world, into my neighborhood, into my own external life, it appeared as if nothing had changed. I still saw countries at war, I still saw prejudice and abusive behavior directed against numerous men women children and animals, and each other. I still saw banks taking people's homes. I still saw corporations treating people like commodities instead of treating them like the sovereign beings that they are. I still saw mainstream media focusing on drama and fear-mongering and not on what's going well or even on what's true. I still saw people treating each other disrespectfully. I still saw people being slaves to the jobs that keep their lives going - surviving but not thriving. I still saw people living on the streets, people in abject poverty, people with no means and very little hope. I still saw people suffering and dying in and out of hospitals. I still saw children, teenagers, young adults, abusing themselves and taking their own life because they saw and felt no value in their own being.

In some ways this realization shattered my world. At this point in time, the start of the year 2013, we weren't - on my time table - supposed to still be living in a world like that. If you have followed this blog for even a short time you will know that I am and have been since starting it, a proponent of ascension, of the coming of The Golden Age, of humanity putting down the mantle of power-over-others and picking up the mantle of follow-your-heart. I know with every fiber of my being, to the very depths of my soul, that what I have been seeing is not who we are as a race. So why are we continuing to act as if it is? I did not know how to reconcile my knowing with what was and is happening in the external world.

Over the last month I have had to look into my soul and ask "why is this so?" Why, when some of us are so clear that it is time to give up trying to control each other and live instead in ease, harmony, and grace, together united as one, are we still confronted with so much despicable behavior in the world? It has taken me weeks to delve into this sadness, to realize that for one, things are not as bleak as they appear, and two, everything is unfolding perfectly.

It sounds trite to say that, I know. How can it be perfect that all this abysmal, one might say even despicable, behavior continues to rule our world? It can be and is perfect because I'd forgotten one very simple yet crucial thing - that in the higher vibrations that we all aspire to, whether we are consciously aware of that aspiration or not, fear cannot exist. Fear cannot and does not exist in those higher vibrations. Which means that those experiencing fear, living in fear, being driven by fear, cannot access those higher vibrations. No matter how much we want to and expect to.

And that is what this last month for me, for all of us, has been about. It's been about drawing into our own lives, each of us as individuals and therefore all of us together as a race, the external expression of those things that we fear. Unless and until we experience and clear those fears, our world is going to continue to reflect just such fears. When I realized this, I knew that it was time to re-address my own fears, the ones that I'd pretended I didn't still have.

For me personally, I have lived with fear to perhaps a greater degree than most. I recall as a child that I was virtually paralyzed with fear most of the time. I was so afraid of my father (a very loving and good man) that I would stand against a wall for hours trying to summon the courage to ask him if I could have something or do something. I don't know if the fear was that he'd say no, or just what the fear was, all I recall is that it was a rare time when I could actually summon the courage to confront him and ask him anything. I became "a good girl" and "a good student" because I was afraid to be anything less.

I recall being so afraid of "boogey men" in my bedroom that at bedtime I would stand paralyzed against the wall under the light switch, too afraid to switch it off for fear something in the darkness would consume me. When I did summon the courage to switch off the light, I would run like the dickens, jump into my bed, and pull the covers up over my head. I would lie there, under the covers, shaking, my heart beating a hundred miles an hour, until at some blessed moment sleep would overtake me.

I recall being taken to doctors and dentists, cowering and screaming from the methods they used to treat me - big needles and torturous cutting with no anesthetic. Compassion in medicine appeared completely lacking when I was a child; I was told to buck up and stop being such a cry baby whiner. Every little noise, or quick movement in my environment, would cause me to react fearfully. I was called "skittish" and "afraid of my own shadow". And because I reacted so strongly to outside stimulus, of course other kids and my own family would make a point of creating situations where those reactions would be triggered. They considered that fun. I made them laugh. These are but a few examples.

I don't relate these things for sympathy. I know that all of these experiences were valuable for me and I look at them with calm understanding, acceptance, and even honor. I relate them merely to lay the foundation for what I am about to unfold. So the important thing to know is that I lived in constant fear as a child, so much so that I didn't even recognize 'not fear'. It wasn't until I was an adult and began doing a lot of work toward personal growth that I got enough relief from my fears that I could actually tell the physical difference between being in fear and not being in fear.

Unlike many, who feel fear in their gut, I feel and felt fear in my heart. Right in the center of my chest is where my fear resides/resided. It felt/feels like being stabbed repeatedly with a hot iron right in my heart.

When I was finally able to recognize these feelings for what they were, I began the long journey of recognizing and releasing the many many things that I found fearful. With each release I reveled in the peace that I found, and often made the mistake of thinking that I was done. Heh. I'm sure those of you reading this can relate - just about the time you start getting comfortable with the freedom from releasing some specific fear, another one comes along to take its place. That's the process - clear one, enjoy the peace, and then another one comes to the surface so that it too can be cleared. This is and has been appropriate, because this is and has been, a time of clearing. For all of us.

I recall a conversation with my teacher and mentor of the last few years, Steve Rother and his unseen friends, "the group". They told me that the patterns I've developed around fear have caused me more grief over many lifetimes than the fear ever did. As I've come to release more and more of my fears, I've found this to be absolutely true. There are many ways in which I've adapted to my fears. Fear is uncomfortable, and I'm not into feeling uncomfortable. I'll do about anything not to feel those horrible feelings that are my response to fear. In other words, I've developed patterns, methods and ways of being, that allow me to dismiss or hide from the pain in my heart when I go into fear. One of these methods is to consume sugar. Sugar makes the pain go away, and this behavior had become so habitual that I didn't even realize why I'd been doing it.

Another pattern is to smile and laugh and pretend I'm not hurting. It hurts to hurt, and most of us humans avoid it like the proverbial plague. I have been no different. I'm so sick and tired of pain - both physical pain and emotional pain - that I'll do about anything to avoid feeling it. I'll push it aside, I'll pretend it away, I'll grab a sweet, I'll blame some one or some thing, I'll get huffy and mad, I'll take a nap, I'll get busy doing something .. just about anything to not feel it, to not confront it.

So this is what I've been doing for the last month while I fell silent on my blog. I've been confronting my fears. Each time something happens in my life that causes that feeling in my heart, I stop and focus on the feeling. I don't do anything else, I just focus on the feeling. I don't try to figure out why I'm feeling it, I don't try to judge that I am feeling it. I focus on the feelings in my body and let the rest of the world fade into the background. I let the feelings consume me. If I'm not in a safe place to allow this I 'bookmark' the event leading up to it and the feelings around it and get back to it when I am in a safe place.

I say 'safe place' because being consumed by fear can cause a whole litany of physical reactions that could scare the boots off of those around me. The deepest of my fear reactions cause my body to shake, cause floods of tears, have even caused wailing and screaming. When a fear has been allowed to become physical to such a degree it can be frightening in the extreme to let it run its course. I have called upon my guides and unseen mentors to assist me in this process, asking them to flood my body with unconditional love and acceptance while I work through my physical and emotional fear reactions.

I must add a note of caution at this point. While I was and am able to confront my fears alone on the physical plane, I don't recommend that others do it that way. I know that I can, because I recognize fear for what it is. On a soul level I'm clearly aware that there is nothing to fear. Fear comes from decisions that we make, have made, that some one or some thing is fearful. We do this, have done this, when some unwanted consequence is or was experienced. Thereafter the same or similar situations, events, experiences, trigger that protection reaction. In other words, we have taught our bodies to go into fear out of the decisions that we've made, both in this lifetime and others. The fear decision is carried in our DNA, so of course it affects our physical body. But it can be cleared, it can be transmuted. So for me, fear is a physical and emotional thing, not a spiritual thing. I give no power to fear on a soul level, so releasing it on a physical level is something I can do for myself. If one is still attached to their fear and cannot own it, they are likely going to need the presence of other physical beings to feel safe enough to release it, to even think about the possibility of integrating and releasing it.

For me, I know in my core that no one and no thing has any power over me that I do not give it. And yet my body continues to react to fear even with this knowing. What I am doing is allowing my body to feel its fear without judgement, without excuses, without telling it not to, without telling it that it shouldn't. I have been telling myself that I shouldn't give in to the fear for most of my life, and that clearly has not worked.

Through allowing this process I'm teaching my body that I, the soul-level being, am back in charge. I no longer give in to the old decisions stored in my DNA, the ones that tell me that I need to be afraid. As I confront more and more fear reactions, the DNA programming changes too - my body responds less and less often and less and less severely, which is why I find the process so important.

When I look into my external life I see that I bring to me the circumstances and experiences that trigger my fears. Those experiences tend to look like some one or some thing is doing something to me that I don't deserve, didn't ask for, and don't want. I can be completely justified in my righteous indignation about all of these experiences - "I didn't ask for this!!" Sadly, doing so only makes them come back around again, more powerful than before. Because this is what I have asked for - I have asked to discover, uncover, and release that which I have habitually responded to with fear. And so has everyone else who finds themselves on the planet at this time, whether it looks like that or not, whether they are aware of it or not. So instead of bemoaning the situations that I find myself in, instead I appreciate, honor, and respect those circumstances and experiences for showing me what I want to see. For being so much right in my face that the things that I respond to in a fearful way can no longer be ignored.

As I said, this is what I have been doing for the last month - facing my fears. It hasn't been pretty. It hasn't been easy. It hasn't been fun. But it has been worth it. I've come to a place of peace and calm in my life that is so profound I cannot even describe it. Externally, in one particular area of my life, it looks as if my entire world is crashing down around my ears. And yet I know different. That may be how it looks, but that's not how it is. I have made a soul decision that I will never ever again give my power away to any one or any thing, and I am moving forward from that stance. I AM a sovereign being, I AM a part of the One, I AM an eternal spirit. I call the shots in my own life. I write the script, I call upon the other actors, I direct the movie, I am the primary actor and I am also in the audience. Along with the rest of humanity. My own private production in my own private life, and our joint production globally. In every sense.

When my body goes into fear it is saying, in essence, that whatever or whomever I fear has power over me. They do not. I do not give them that power. That is my choice and mine alone. So as situations arise that send my body back into those kinds feelings, the ones that have me wanting to cower and run, or to be strong and pretend the pain doesn't exist, instead I focus on the feeling. I focus on it until it resolves itself, which interestingly enough, it always does. When the pain is overpowering I call upon every energetic entity that I know of to flood me with unconditional love and acceptance, and believe me, this has helped tremendously. We do not have to suffer our pain alone - there are physical beings and non-physical beings, seen beings and unseen beings, who are ready, willing, and able to help with this process, if only we would ask. We live under the rule of freedom to choose, so we must ask before help will be given. I encourage everyone to ask!

And so here I am, not really knowing how to take this blog forward, but knowing that I will. Knowing that when I look out into the world I will focus not on what I see that's not working, but on what I want to see. If I see what is not working I will use that as a springboard to envision what I prefer to see. When I see or experience something that isn't working, I remember that I have created it with my own un-confronted fear, as each of us have. As each of us works through and releases those fears, we bring into being the very world that have said that we want to see. That's the work. That has been the work since the beginning of duality, just now humanity is stepping into that work both singly and jointly.

This is my world, as it is your world. We live in it, we envision it, we create it. For me, I want to live in a world of true equality, true compassion, true abundance, true appreciation, true loving of one another, true harmony and true cooperation with all the creatures and beings of nature, true harmony and cooperation with all the creatures and beings in our Galaxy, true peace, true honesty, true ease and true grace. That is my new world. A world that works for everyone, with no one left out. I am pleased, honored, and overjoyed to be in that world with all of you.

And so it is.

What Will You Create In The New Paradigm?

The following video was created by Inelia Benz of Ascension 101. I'm not enamored of the title she created for it "Agents of Creation - Biggest Planetary Secret Revealed!" because it sounds a bit melodramatic. I'd like us all to not need drama and dramatic headlines to get our attention, but rather follow our hearts and allow that which resonates to find it's way to our attention.

The "secret" that Inez reveals is that 5th dimension is not a location but a creation. A great many of us realize this already, but I'm sure it's important information for those who do not.

Yet despite those minor drawbacks that perhaps only jump out at me personally, her video offers a wonderful and uplifting start to the creation of our new world, and provides a reminder that the creation of this world is indeed in our hands. It always has been in our hands, but inside of the new energies we can proceed without continually battling lower vibrations.

We are now fully immersed in the paradigm we came here to experience, let's take a few days to celebrate that we made it, and then move forward swiftly and powerfully to bring all of our dreams into our reality. What a wonderful time to be a human!
