Greetings!

(Several of you have written wanting more clarification on the meaning of store-fronts. I have written a brief section at the end of this energy alert for those of you who may be interested in what I frequently refer to as “our store-fronts.”)



Like aftershocks following a massive earthquake, we have experienced several minor shifts in the weeks following the solstice and full moon, and even since the last energy alert of July 1. As more and more souls catch up and find themselves in very new energetic spaces, this creates another shift of unity and cohesion, and thus, another awesome shift of a positive feeling nature occurs as we suddenly begin to feel as though more is settling in.



Yes, we are settling in now, if even in small and continuous steps. Re-connecting is the theme and purpose now, and until we find ourselves re-connecting to a fair degree, the road can seem rocky, unpredictable, scary, out of sync, strange, confusing and nonsensical, and perhaps even grossly uncomfortable as we do not seem to know where we are or what is going on around us and within us.



This last energy upheaval of the June 21st time frame reminds me of the Big Bang theory of evolution. I really know nothing of physics and these types of things, so please bear with me. What is occurring now is something similar to the Big Bang if one were to read the current energies of late. These energies of June blew just about everything out of the water or out of its old groove so that much could begin again. This is what is causing the stress, insecurity, confusion, and nonsensical feelings many of us are experiencing. After we have separated and spread out as far as we can go (and some are still spreading out), we can then connect once again.



In this way, we may find that our loved ones and those near and dear to us are leaving and going somewhere else. It may seem that we are being permanently separated from those with whom we have shared the closest connections. It may seem like much of everything is “going away” and that our lives have completely broken down and fallen apart (along with ourselves!). The separation needs to occur, as we need to find out who we really are, we need to re-connect to our true and authentic selves, we need to connect to Source more fully, and thus, establish a new and stronger re-connection with our foundations. (Some may not need to re-connect at all, but are simply waiting and respecting the re-connection experience of others, if even at a soul or subconscious level.)



This separation phase involves a journey which we can only undertake on our own. It is a very private one, distinctive to whom each and every one of us truly is, and needs to be undertaken before we come together once again. It is a rare gift and very sacred process between our souls and our creator. It involves stepping into our soul shoes if we have not yet done this already.



After this has been accomplished, we then begin the re-connection to our brothers and sisters once again, and when this occurs, we feel a joy and completion I can barely begin to describe. The time-line for this process can be different for all of us. Some are quite done and others are just beginning. It can greatly depend upon our willingness to let go, surrender to Source, get out of the way, and trust that all is in divine and perfect order.



When the re-connection occurs, the masks are removed. For those of us who have been able to see behind the masks for a very long time, it can be quite emotional to now connect more deeply to another who has just now removed his/her mask. It is like coming home! And it is glorious to finally have company!



As we near the boundary before we cross over to acceptance and connection into our very new spaces, we can feel a tightness, much stress, like the walls are squeezing in on us, and a fear and panic that we do not know how we will now survive or where we need to go. It is then that we know that we have hit the wall and can go no further within the old reality.



Similar to the dying process in the old 3D reality, if we can trust and let go, our journey will be much simpler and filled with much more grace and love.



The old reality is indeed gone, and staying within it is what causes these very uncomfortable feelings. As much is beginning to now collapse like a snowball rolling down a massive hill, capturing everything in its path, we really have no choice but to surrender to a higher way of living and being in order to experience a peace, contentment, and unity which can only exist on the other side.



The beating down of our old walls within and without which occurred over the past several weeks had a very distinctive purpose. When this phase was occurring, we may have felt that we had been traumatized, beaten up, banged around, and simply worn down. Our ego states needed to be worn away. We needed to arrive at a place where we realized what is was that really and truly mattered. Specific desires and detailed manifestations we may have held for a very long time, could now be replaced by knowing that perhaps what we really and truly wanted all along was the love of another, the simplest things in life, and a unity with our brothers and sisters.



Watching our loved ones and animal companions suffering with their own specific dilemmas, struggles, and traumas was difficult indeed, but if we can know that we need only honor and respect the paths they have chosen to get to the other side (without saving them), we can then trust that all is indeed in perfect and divine order.



Each and every human being, animal, plant, and the earth are going through this process now. So then, it may have felt as though so much suffering was occurring as the earth and all her inhabitants are adjusting to the new and higher vibrations which are arriving at rapid speed.



We may have reached states of being where we greatly cherished the simplest things in life, a small act of kindness, the beauty of a small flower blooming, the sound of a bird singing, and a great gratitude for anything vibrating as goodness, light, and beauty. And it is then that we finally know what really and truly matters. In these times, the contrast can be profound, but it creates within us states of gratitude, clarity of what truly matters, and a deeper connection to those around us….thus assisting in the creation of the unity which we could not seem to embody and embrace any other way.



(We decided as a group of souls who came together to create a very new world and reality that this is how we would accomplish the next phase. Things were not moving fast enough…not enough of the inhabitants of the earth were awakening…so we decided to go with the crash course which creates the states of being which were necessary for the evolution of the planet.)



Old desires were perhaps initiated from more of our ego states, and as these connections to our ego selves being to dissipate more and more, our desires may change as well. We may not know who we are anymore, as so much of who we thought we were has now left. In this way, we can wonder how to behave now, or perhaps what our real and true power is, or where we are indeed headed as so much of our old selves have now departed.



How to cross over that wall and begin experiencing the other side of miracles, unity, immense love and wonder, and living the life of our true and authentic dreams?



Let go. Just let go of what you thought was real or important. Allow what is truly real now to enter your space and your reality. Take time for yourself…make it all be about yourself now and what you need to do to rest, self-nurture, exhale, be in the moment, let go of responsibilities, and just stay in your own sanctuary and bask. Find a way to re-charge your battery, rejuvenate, and allow time for you. Say no to commitments, gatherings, appointments and have-to’s as much as you can.



Allow yourself time for you, have a willingness to no longer make anything happen, and you will find that everything will simply happen on its own without you needing to be at the helm. Letting go of what no longer feels good or right will allow the new to arrive and place you in a very new space at the same time. TRUST.



When we arrive in a higher vibrating space, we usually do not feel like doing a thing. This is usually because we are now filled with much more light, vibrating higher, and in this reality we do not make things happen on our own. Much like the feelings we might have when newly in love with another, we can find it difficult to concentrate, get serious, have any kind of discipline, or go to a job and be present. In the company of love energy, we can get giddy, feel spacey and lost, ungrounded, and just plain lazy while seemingly only wanting to do things pleasurable, joyful, and fun. We are re-booting as well as we ready for the next phase.



And after we have our period to exhale, bask, self-nurture and remove ourselves from the outside world, we will again be ready to serve along with experiencing the life of our wildest dreams. Weaving in and out of this process we may also find that much is manifesting for us….much that we could only begin to dream about.



When we arrive in Heaven, it is different for each and every one of us. We can choose what we believe Heaven should look like or what we want to experience. We then create our own specific Heaven on Earth and this is happening now. There are many, many versions of Heaven and no one version is right or wrong. Each version represents who we are, what we value and enjoy, and what we are about.



In the old 3D reality, after we “died,” we were allowed to experience whatever we chose while we rejuvenated and rested from the 3D experience. After we had our fill, we would usually be ready to move on and many times move on into a position of service to a lower vibrating reality. And this is what is happening now.



So then, when we are not residing in our Heaven on Earth, we will be providing service through our store-fronts. Our store-fronts will comprise about 25% of our time while the remaining 75% will be spent residing in and creating the very new communities of another reality here on Earth after we are done basking and having our fill of rejuvenation energy.



Our Store-Fronts



Until we no longer have the need for money, we will need a portal for money to arrive through. We will need a space on the dimensional border where we can be found. And this will be our store-fronts. As much continues to collapse, our store-fronts will exist to provide service to those on various rungs of the evolutionary ladder.



Our store-fronts will be varied and will reflect what our own specific gifts and talents are about. They can be artistic creations, healing practices (healing will still be needed for those who are at certain levels of their evolutionary process, but after individuals reach a certain threshold, healing can be detrimental), teaching services for the creation of the New World, and the like. The store-fronts will completely reflect who our true and authentic selves really are, and this is our gift to the world as we continue to serve and assist our brothers and sisters on varying rungs of their ascension process.



And again, store-fronts can also be about our contributions to the creation of the New World. You will know what your store-front is about, as it will reflect something that is really you. And as so much of who we thought we were is leaving so rapidly now, what is left is then the pure gold nugget of our true and authentic selves.



It was planned that we would be taken care of during these times. It was planned that we would experience much abundance during this time of new beginnings. We will all be fine. It has been pre-ordained. We have waited until enough of us were ready. It is now time indeed.



More and more miracles will manifest for us in the very near future. Yes, it is finally time for our very new beginnings, and new beginnings they are indeed. I could never have imagined that mine would involve the new connections with old and familiar souls that I have recently re-connected with. Oh, how I love the surprises that Source delivers!

THE WEARING AWAY OF OUR EGO SELVES AND CONNECTING TO OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS

The What's Up On Planet Earth? energy alerts are offered several times per month by viewing them here. Your financial support makes it possible to continue offering information on this website free of charge. Please make a donation.



Notify me when a energy alert is posted!
Greetings!

Chaos, swirling energies, unpredictability, overload, feeling apathetic and lethargic, anxiety, sleeping like a baby and having insomnia for brief periods as well, losing things, having wonderful new connections, and helping our animal companions with ailments are but just a few of the many and varied manifestations of the incredible energies that the summer solstice has created.



The solstice energies served to dislodge much. In this regard, much movement was created. Like an enormous eruption from beneath the earth, much of anything and everything was jolted out of its old position, old rut, old pattern, or basically any space that used to feel remotely comfortable and familiar.



If you are a sensitive, you may feel that you have been hit by a tidal wave, traumatized, severely clobbered by who knows what, or perhaps even finding you have a great need for rejuvenation, rest, and some solace of a much needed order.



When the energies rev up, as they have been doing of late, especially since the solstice, we can begin to feel beaten down. Ascension energies at times seem to wear us away, with no break, reprieve, or time to rest in between the high pressured waves that serve to polish us and bring us oh so closer to Source and our authentic selves.



We are being worn away so that what is deep inside of us can be revealed. In this regard, our ego selves cannot seem to keep up, get in the way, or even navigate things. When we begin feeling helpless, powerless, weak, exhausted, or not in control, it is then that we open and can begin to connect to our brothers and sisters and to our authentic and true selves.



When we surrender, we then begin the new and perfect connections that the solstice energies came to deliver.



We are being seriously squeezed now from every direction. This can cause feelings of great apathy about our work, our futures, and even the effectiveness of what we believed we were here to do and create. As a part of our ego selves begin a rapid depart, we may feel that nothing much of us is in charge or in the know. But feeling apathetic and not caring anymore has always been a continual phase of the ascension process and it always passes.



With all this occurring at once, we are literally being pushed into connecting to one another. We know now more than ever before that we can no longer go it alone. We absolutely must come together. I have been writing for several years now that we will be forming small communities of mutual support. As we evolve higher and higher into higher vibrating ways of being and living, this blueprint will begin to finally form. We were prepped for this time for the past several years, and especially the past several months. It is now time. We are indeed ready, even if we feel we may not be. It has been decided by our souls at the higher levels that the waiting period is now over and we will now move fully into our very new beginnings.



We have been preparing for so long for this. And now, the outside realities that the higher energies are creating, notably the fall, are supporting this very new reality into forming itself out of grave necessity if nothing else. So then, all is in divine and perfect order indeed.



And this is when the new beginnings will finally “begin.” We may feel that suddenly we do not know who we are or what we are indeed here to create. We may feel insecure, unconfident, ineffective, or perhaps greatly confused. We may feel rocky, ungrounded, fearful, unfocused, and as though we have lost our bearings. It is the solstice energies of great movement that are creating these feelings.



We may feel that we do not know anything at all. We may feel that we do not know what will indeed happen next. We may feel that we cannot count on a thing, as when one thing adjusts and changes, a domino effect occurs and everything down the line is thus affected as well.



But in these times of great change and new beginnings, we are also being given the opportunity to connect to new and more highly vibrating relationships, endeavors, and anchors. As much begins to change and re-align, we then begin to re-connect. Things we never believed would ever happen will begin to happen now. Miracles, relationships, and opportunities of the divine will find themselves at our doorsteps.



We may begin manifesting so much wonder so very rapidly that we can begin to feel overloaded. We may feel overloaded as well with any type of manifestation that has arrived in our consciousness as a brief thought….whether a higher vibrating one or not.



The key now is to get out of the way. The key now is to surrender and let the divine enter. The key now is not to navigate out of fear and a knowingness stemming from what used to be, but to allow for a new and better scenario to enter that one would never expect.



The key now is to come together as brothers and sisters and to support one another. The key now is to know that our ego selves are no longer in charge.



I can guarantee you that we are being highly protected by the divine at each and every turn. We were not meant to suffer through this process, and if we allow it to be so, we will thrive in great wonder in times to come.



A few days ago I decided it was time to break down all the cardboard boxes I had discarded directly outside my back door in my outside porch area when I unpacked. As I began this process, I suddenly felt a great pain in my foot. I had been stung by a wasp, and now needed to go into the house, put my foot up, and tend to it.



Phil came over and doctored me up, and together we began again to tend to the removal of the boxes. In a very short time, we found a rattlesnake directly underfoot. It coiled and hissed, and Phil was able to remove it from the premises. (I have since had a conversation with the snake community and everything is now fine…)



The wasp had indeed protected me from the rattlesnake. And this is the way it is and always has been. Even when we feel we may be being beaten down, in actuality, we are only being protected and watched over. And although it may not feel like it at times, all is always right where it needs to be.



Even though it may feel rocky right now for some of us, at the highest levels things are being put into place. New connections are being made. Higher level doors are opening. Things we may have always wanted are beginning to arrive. We will no longer have to go it alone.



And while we may feel relegated to staying nearly housebound for a variety of reasons, it is only because we are readying for these very new connections. The miracles are beginning now and dis-connecting from the old systems, structures, and ways of doing things is a great assurance to arriving in this higher vibrating reality.



As we begin to connect together with our brothers and sisters, we will then begin introducing these new ways for the masses who are needing our assistance, and we will then be assured of thriving as it was indeed intended.



We are the ones holding the light now. As we evolve higher and higher, it is a natural part of the process to rely on our guides and non-physical companions less and less. They become inaccessible to us. This is because we eventually begin to vibrate where they are and we literally become them…these higher aspects of ourselves, as we are and have always been one in the same. And as we receive this light from one another, we will begin to form the beautiful grid of the very new world.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Sally,

In a long ago metaphysical course I took in NYC, we tried different exercises each week. One of the exercises the instructor had us try one class was passing a small stone around the room. We each held it for a few moments and later she asked us for our impressions about the stone. When I held the sandstone, I saw dusty feet in Jesus sandals and the edge of tattered robes. I had the impression of an outdoor market place with lots of confusion and noise. And I heard sounds of gravel and sand being kicked around. The instructor eventually shared that she had picked up this stone off a street in Israel during a recent trip there. She suggested stones have memories and my own impressions confirmed this for me. How many centuries and generations had this stone been kicked around I wondered.

I remembered this exercise as I read Shaman Elder Maggie’s article (see below) on Spirit Rocks and Crystals. She takes the notion of rocks having memory several steps further -- including that Spirit Rocks have messages for the healer. And Rev. Laurie Sue broadens the discussion this issue with her article about Mother Earth. What messages or lessons await your discovery this month; this Solstice (June 20)? See if one of our articles, courses, or offerings might support you on your healing journey.

By Shaman Elder Maggie Jean Wahls

Today we explore the Shaman's connection to rocks and crystals. Spirits in the Inner Worlds may take the shape or form of anything and so look quite different than they may look here. But with practice and knowledge it is possible to not only recognize the kind of spirit there but even its nature or message. We can usually use three identifiers for rocks and crystals...

( ( ( Here’s What You’re Saying About S-HE Courses... ) ) )

About our Miracles Course!

“This Miracles course was fantastic! I loved the guided meditations. They really helped open areas in my mind and soul that had been locked. The images that I received during the guided meditations were very revealing, and have helped me recognize and honor the little, "ordinary" miracles that I am surrounded by every moment. The readings for each course chapter were concise, positive and well organized, and were an excellent roadmap for the journey of manifesting miracles. The writing exercises were simple, and were a great way to tie together the readings and meditations, and to make the material relevant to my life and my needs. I would recommend this course to anyone who is trying to manifest "big" miracles in their life, or someone who wants to honor those "ordinary" miracles that happen around us all the time. Many blessings to the course author, Laurie E. Smith, and to Self Healing Expressions for bringing this course to the world! “ ~ Sharon Blozousky, Pennsylvania


About our Dreams for Healing course!

This course has made me look at my dreams in a very different way. I now believe that I am in a different classroom every night in my dreams and this course gives me pointers on the homework that I need to complete. This course is very worthwhile to get you in touch with your higher self and to constantly teach you more about your continuing journey. ~ Jeanne Drouillard, Michigan


About our Holistic Prayers course!

"I very much enjoyed receiving these daily e-mails. I took [course for] me time since I am a busy mom. After each e-mail I would be much more calm and collected. The exercises are easy and don't take a lot of time if you don't have it. It was just enough to make me feel peaceful inside each day.” ~ Ellie I., Canada

Energy Alert from Karen



June 11 , 2008
OOOOOOOOH...WHEEEEEEE! GET READY!

The What's Up On Planet Earth? energy alerts are offered several times per month by viewing them here. Your financial support makes it possible to continue offering information on this website free of charge. Please make a donation.

Greetings!

The re-connection is finally coming! What a wild and seemingly unpredictable ride we have been on, but if we can understand what is indeed occurring, it can all make sense. Things are proceeding right on track as we continued making our way up the spiritual evolutionary ladder.



As more and more of the masses become involved in the process, the stages still repeat themselves over and over, but with much more of an impact now as so much more has been embraced and engulfed within higher vibrating energies. And in addition, the higher we vibrate, the more intense and magnified every movement and shift becomes.



When this process really began in earnest around 2000, there were but a few in the forefront having the many experiences that the ascension process creates. With each succeeding phase, more and more souls get on board and thus, we become closer and closer to creating heaven on Earth and a planet which becomes closer and closer to the visions most of us embody as the beautiful new Earth we knew it would eventually become.



So where are we now and what is on the very near horizon? The solstice of June 21st will pack a very powerful punch, but why will this be, what will it create, and how did we get here in the first place?



From January to Now

After we arrived fully at the next level or dimension (the end of March), we then began to experience manifestations of residing in a higher vibration. The loss of our normal boundaries was the most pronounced. This created in many, experiences of having our boundaries disrespected, of feeling a sense of danger or perhaps a feeling of not being safe, and of feeling bare, naked, and vulnerable.



The higher we vibrate, the less density surrounds us within and without, and a loss of boundaries is very common.



Another common manifestation for many was re-connecting or coming into contact with individuals we had not seen for awhile, of family re-unions and old connections re-surfacing. This was because when we reach the “other side,” we connect with the best parts of our loved ones, brothers and sisters, and those with whom we shared past connections. If not occurring in a physical manifestation, some had this experience in their dream state.



Feeling cold with an inability to get warm is another manifestation of transitioning from one dimension or vibration into another…or in other words, going through a shift. Weeping for the loss of the old, or the energies of what can no longer exist in a higher vibration, occurred as well, even if many did not consciously know why they were feeling so emotional. Feeling as if one was having a meltdown is also a frequent occurrence of the ascension process, as so much of us begins to open, leave, and come apart during these times.



We also began to vibrate higher and thus to come to the higher vibrating awareness that we cannot save another or even save the planet. When we attempt to go where others are, or to a lower vibrating space, we have to drop down ourselves, and this we can only do for certain amounts of time. We need not “drop down” anymore, as it is now time for many to “come up.”



And this brings us to where we are now. We need to pull out and allow for the energies which need to experience an awakening and a change to have the opportunity to get to this place on their own. If we continue to go where they are, attempting to hold them up and support them, we will only be robbing them of their opportunity to hit rock bottom, to then ask for change, to try something different, to come to a new awareness on their own, to ask for assistance, and most importantly to be willing to listen and embrace a very new way.



Over and over through the years of writing these energy alerts I have received criticism, anger, resistance, and “correction” from some who are not yet ready or who have not yet had an experience of residing in a higher dimension. They are simply viewing things from a filter of an old 3D reality. Holding on to these old filters can greatly slow us up now. And this will become very evident for the many masses which will arrive on our heels.



As I have said so many, many times….residing in a higher dimension is not what we thought it would be. It is quite different than our old 3D minds could wrap themselves around. Over and over I am invited to connect with those practicing old 3D perceptions of spirituality and New Age thought and I am unable to participate. There is much un-doing which needs to occur and as we vibrate higher and higher, we will need to be ready to show others who are now willing to let go, a new and higher vibrating way of being and perceiving.



The discomfort that the ascension process creates is designed to allow souls to be willing to open up to something new. To realize that what they thought was real, simply was not. To be willing to let go of the reigns and to allow for help. advice, and perhaps a trust in someone or something that has been to new and higher vibrating places.



This is what the ascension process creates….a breaking down and releasing of much. And through this breaking down, we then connect more fully to the higher ways of a higher vibrating reality. If we rush in and attempt to save everything before it has a chance to arrive at its own point of giving up and opening to something new, we will only impede the process of the fall. And the fall is a vitally important step on the ascension journey.



Thus enters the summer solstice of 2008. Our boundaries have lessened, the veil has become thinner, and within this process many have been taken advantage of for their kindness, consideration, love and supporting ways which exist in a higher reality.



These ways are inherent in most lightbearers, and it can thus be difficult not to utilize them in a lower vibrating reality. In a higher vibrating reality, these traits are embodied by all, and there is then in existence a wonderful balance of give and take, with each soul contributing in equal amounts to create a whole in total and beautiful balance. But we are not quite there yet.



The solstice will accomplish much and change this to a degree. And it will accomplish much by the shear fact of its existence. Whatever is currently occurring on the planet will be affected in whatever way it is vibrating. (More on this further along in this energy alert.)



We went through a period of “waiting” for as many souls as possible to get on board beginning in January of 2008. Many we very ready to move forward, but we wanted to ensure that as many as possible had an opportunity to make their decisions as to where they chose to be in regard to moving into the higher realms or not. The waiting period was frustrating at times, but necessary.



Now, there has been enough time. So then, those who have not yet awakened or made their choices to get out of the greed mentality, are not yet willing to embrace unity and the whole, are not yet aware of others around them, and not quite ready to love and respect their brothers and sisters, will get one big whollop and wake-up call with the advent of the summer solstice.



For those who have been more than ready, perhaps feeling frustrated and extremely disappointed in how things have been unfolding…perhaps wanting to leave this earth and go home, and perhaps wondering if the darkness will ever leave, they will receive their just rewards of miracles and beauty beyond imagination.



I suppose this sounds oddly Biblical or wrathful, but this is not the case at all. This is not about judgment or punishment, it is not a biblical-type prophesy, but simply about energy and how it operates. There is no right or wrong, good or bad, but only the relationship of energies to energies. The big event of the solstice of June 21 will involve the arrival of a much higher vibrating energy, and what it creates will simply signify what is in alignment with it and what is not.



The Summer Solstice of June 21

The energy of June 21 will arrive from within the earth herself. And even before the 21st, we will experience a window of energy beginning around mid-June which will continue until a day or two after the solstice itself.



Deep down at the core of the earth resides an energy which has not been utilized or released for eons of time. It has resided there undisturbed until the right time. The right time is now, as the frequency is at a point which is signaling that it is now safe and now time for this higher vibrating force to arrive fully on the planet Earth. The solstice will serve to activate it.



The higher vibrating energies are arriving now much more from within than from without. They are coming from within each and every one of us and from within the earth herself. And this is why we are now approaching the time for unity and community. We are sustaining ourselves much more than ever before as we are embodying much more higher vibrating energy within.



The high gas prices here in the US are greatly encouraging this process. Families are wanting to be closer together. We will be wanting to support one another more than ever before. This is simply the process of returning to a reality of unity, community, love and support, and leaving one of materialism, greed, separation and self-absorption.



So then, for some, this new energy will catapult them into higher vibrating ways and manifestations. It will serve to re-connect those with what they need to now connect to according to how they are vibrating. It will be all about alignments in accordance with each individual and where they are.



In this way, many will now begin connecting to their dreams and dream partners, or perhaps bringing their current relationships up to a higher vibrating existence. It will be all about new connections in much more loving and respectful ways, and all about very new connections to very new manifestations as well.



We will be activated now in regard to a new and higher frequency. We will now connect as individuals and for the earth as well, to a very new anchor.



What is not in alignment with this new connection will now receive another big shake-up so that an opportunity will arise for a different choice. As most of us know, we get clobbered oh so gently at first, and if we are not yet willing to let go and make a change, we then get clobbered a bit harder, and so on, until we finally get it usually through great suffering.



And after enough of the masses are then willing to ask for help, guidance, support and much else, those bearing the most light will then be welcomed with respect and appreciation as way-showers. And this when our store-fronts will serve to support us with an enormous amount of abundance.



Will the summer solstice create heaven on Earth forever more? No. But it will be an event which will provide a very new anchor for us to hold onto until the next phase of the ascension process arrives. If you are one who has found yourself dropping things, noticing things falling through your fingers, and experiencing a strange inability to hold onto much of anything (whether literally in the physical sense or otherwise), it is simply because we are now finally poised to have something very new to hold onto once again.



Yes, a new anchor is finally arriving. Are you ready?

Latest Energy Alert from Karen!

Greetings!

At the time I wrote the last energy alert, my daughter Ari was in the hospital with complications involving her pregnancy with twins. Not due until the end of August, there was a strong possibility that they would need to arrive right then, and they were very small indeed.



Solomon, or “Baby B” had an overabundance of amniotic fluid, and Arion, or “Baby A” was severely lacking in amniotic fluid. Called Twin to Twin Transference Syndrome, the placenta feeds one baby and not the other. Solomon was working so hard to keep them both alive that his heart became over-stressed, placing them both in danger. This situation created a sudden difference in their growth, as Solomon was rapidly growing and Arion was rapidly lagging behind.



At the same time, my mother experienced complications with her heart, as it began exhibiting symptoms of failure (she has a heart condition.)



Ari began daily sessions of amniotic fluid drainage, and eventually things just sorted themselves out after 6 days in the hospital. My mother experienced a new balancing of medications, and now feels better than she has in a long time. Her heart was not failing at all…she was just reacting to a medication which needed adjusting.



And this is what is occurring now with the energies, although this phase is nearly complete.



We are balancing our energies and things are now fairly sorted out. Just like the twins, energies within and without which are extreme, exhibiting an overabundance or an “under” abundance, are meeting in a very healthy middle. This is vitally necessary for the next phase of evolution which we are soon to enter into.



For instance, if you are one who is more aggressive, fast forward, exhibiting reaching, “make things happen,” and the energy of “responsibility,” you have most likely been feeling that you can no longer do it all by yourself. It is time to sit back and allow others to take up the slack. And if you sit back and pull in a bit, you will find yourself in the middle with a good balance.



If you are one who usually sits back and waits, allowing others to take over, you would be needing to step up to the plate and jump in, meeting in the middle with a good balance.



There are many other scenarios within and without requiring a new balance, and the energies of the past few weeks required that a healthy balance be present, as this is all that can exist in a higher vibrating reality. Adjustments were needed in order for us to be in alignment with the energies we were now residing in.



Pushing, chaos, and much movement was created by this new arrival into the higher realms. And in addition, as we move into unity consciousness, we are readying to experience what true unity is all about. If we do not yet know the meaning of healthy boundaries, we soon will.



If you are one who is very open, you would need to pull in a bit and put up more of a barrier. If you are one who has a strong wall around you, you will need to open up more. In addition, we are learning a strange paradox of opening more and coming together while having a good boundary as well.



As of June 2 or so (there are always windows around energy shifts) many suddenly decided to simply pull out of much. To step back, put much on hold, simplify, let go of what we thought we might have wanted, and give ourselves a break. The latest energies were almost too much, and pulling out and stopping was a needed requirement. A time to exhale and rest. There were other reasons for pulling back, as I will address further on in this energy alert.



With all this balancing occurring within and without (the without involved the severe weather conditions, etc.), we have now reached a pivotal point where we are poised at a brief standstill until the next phase is due to arrive.



In addition, as we are rapidly expanding, which is creating a melting down or releasing of the old. Manifestations include crying jags (not for the loss of much this time, but because we are releasing and opening), and even experiences of looking in the mirror and wondering who in the world we are looking at.



As we balance out, we greatly change. We let go of our old defenses and of the old patterns within ourselves which were too exaggerated. And in this way, we are then much more poised to re-unite once again with our brothers and sisters.



After much comes apart, it is then ready to come together once again for a divine reunion of energies which are now vibrating much higher indeed.



Yes, we are now experiencing a brief period of peace, perhaps manifesting as exhaustion in some, fatigue, feeling drained or even spacey and lost, wanting rest and sleep for awhile, but all in readiness for the summer solstice.



And what a solstice it will be! This will be one of the most dramatic and intense solstices I have ever experienced. The earth will crack open energetically, releasing intense and highly vibrating energies which have been hidden for eons of time, and much will be revealed as we are catapulted into a very new energetic space as a planet where we have not been for a very long time.



The lightbearers needed to pull out in order to allow for more of the fall. We needed to be in a different space than what will be falling with even more intensity than what we have currently experienced up until now. We are not supposed to be holding anything up….much must go.



The unity consciousness is not taking hold as easily as it could. Many on the planet are not letting go as they could. In this regard, a more shaking up will be needed, and this will arrive with the summer solstice. We are being held back in order to be safe and secure. And after even more shaking up and digging deep, more individuals will hopefully be ready for the help and guidance the lightbearers can provide. They must be left alone with complete non-interference from us in order for them to find their own way, to be willing to allow for something new, to examine themselves and what is no longer working, to finally realize what is truly important to them, and to then be ready for a very new connection.



We will be rocked to the core during this time of the solstice. So enjoy this time of rest, re-evaluation and putting much on hold, as in a few weeks we will experience yet another wild ride. I will be reporting more on this as the time grows nearer, as this will be a monumental event indeed.

New Moon in Gemini
Tuesday, June 3, 12:23 pm PDT, 3:23 pm EDT

The New Moon in Gemini seeds a multitude of ideas and opens new channels of communication. Yet with its ruling planet Mercury stuck in reverse until the 19th, avoid information overload to maintain a semblance of intellectual order. Vivacious Venus joins the New Moon, adding beauty and social skills, enlivening relationships and artistic impulses. A supportive sextile from Mars in dramatic Leo adds a playful tone favorable for flirting, empowering creativity and enriching self-expression.

Pluto in Sagittarius
Friday, June 13

Potent Pluto slinks back into Sagittarius for an encore appearance through November 26, providing one more chance to eliminate excessive judgment and prejudice. Extreme opinions and moralizing arise to remind us of the dangers of philosophical rigidity and religious fundamentalism and the wisdom of keeping an open mind.

Venus in Cancer
Wednesday, June 18, 1:49 am PDT, 4:49 am EDT

The love planet's visit to cuddly Cancer evokes a desire for safety and security. Relationships grow tender, exposing vulnerability and an urge to return to the past. Nostalgia makes days gone by seem more attractive than the present, but emotional attention is needed in the here and now. We should be more careful in how we connect with others, recognizing the mutual uncertainty we all feel. Kindness is especially valuable as our willingness to nurture and be nurtured builds lasting bonds.

Full Moon in Sagittarius
Wednesday, June 18, 10:31 am PDT, 1:31 pm EDT

The Full Moon in adventurous Sagittarius is normally associated with overdoing everything. However, its close conjunction with Pluto shades optimism with fear, inhibiting its exuberant spirit. Eccentric Uranus' square to this Sun-Moon opposition adds another layer of uncertainty. Inner feelings and outer events turn suddenly, undermining a sense of continuity. However, flexibility and a willingness to explore unfamiliar territory can lead to freedom for those able to take chances, turning chaos into creativity.

Mercury Direct
Thursday, June 19

The forward turn of chatty Mercury gets communication back on track. Ideas that have been languishing and connections left hanging in the air are ready to be renewed. Mercury's presence in its airy home sign of Gemini juices minds with a million concepts, so choose carefully and make priorities to avoid more talk than action.

Sun in Cancer
Friday, June 20, 5:00 pm PDT, 8:00 pm EDT

The summer solstice (winter in Wolwehoek) signals a desire for the closeness of family and the comforts of home. Yet these tumultuous times suggest that safety comes from an ability to roll with the emotional punches instead of avoiding them completely. The Crab's shell is little protection against economic uncertainty; retreat is not an option. It's time to recognize the opening and closing of your own emotional shell, so that you become more aware of how your feelings function, enabling you to use them consciously instead of reacting unconsciously.

Jupiter sesquisquare Saturn
Thursday, June 26

This ungainly angle between the planets of expansion and contraction can make the management of major projects and long-range goals more challenging. The flow between hope and fear is easily interrupted, provoking strong responses in either direction. Counter doubt with education and over enthusiasm with a grounded sense of detail to rejoin hope and realism in one productive package.

Uranus Retrograde
Thursday, June 26

Rebellious Uranus' retrograde shift can slow down reevaluation activities in the outer world and turn the notion of liberation into an internal process. While this may delay the advance of radical projects, its gift is a reminder that freedom is something that lives in one's heart and mind. Freeing ourselves from the limits of our own beliefs releases pressure and enables creativity to reshape our lives.

Mars in Virgo
Tuesday, July 1, 9:21 am PDT, 12:21 pm PDT

The action planet's presence in detail-oriented Virgo is a chance to refine techniques and develop new skills. It's easy to get tripped up by small stuff, so work hard to produce excellence rather than just trying to get by. Maintaining bodies and equipment ensures efficiency, which is important when time is limited. Improvement, not perfection, is a realizable goal. If you're not getting better at something you care about, seek training to raise your game.

The New Moon in Gemini opens our eyes to a variety of possibilities and perspectives. This Sun-Moon conjunction balances intellect with art as Venus and Mars are active participants. The beauty of language and poetry of ideas enrich daily life with an elixir of sounds and sights that turn conversation into music. Delight can be found in the most ordinary activities as curiosity and creativity fill our minds.

Have a great month!

Latest Energy Alert from Karen Bishop!

May 30 , 2008
THE OUT OF CONTROL ENERGIES, STAYING VIGILANT, AND GETTING BACK IN THE SADDLE

The What's Up On Planet Earth? energy alerts are offered several times per month by viewing them here. Your financial support makes it possible to continue offering information on this website free of charge. Please make a donation.



Notify me when a energy alert is posted!
Greetings!

Is anyone minding the store? Are things completely out of control? Why are some of us feeling vulnerable, fearful, lost without a rudder, with chaos abounding and perhaps wondering what in the world is going on? Has it become near impossible to put even a toe out there without having a strange and uncomfortable experience? Do we need to keep completely to ourselves behind a closed door with no interation with much of anything? Are we being taken advantage of and used for our love and kindness? Is there a sense of danger at every turn? Are things actually being monitored for our best outcomes and are we indeed being protected at all? And at the same time, are bits and pieces arriving for us if oh so slowly, for our new residency to become intact in the higher realms?

After we finally reached this next plateau, weren’t we supposed to arrive in heaven on Earth? If we are indeed here in a higher vibration now, why is it so uncomfortable and unpredictable?

Well…….we actually have arrived in a higher vibrating reality and here are some of the current manifestations, but as always, we are in a stage which will indeed be completed eventually, as it will most certainly not last forever. But I have to say that this is one of the strangest stages of ascension that I have seen yet, and it is mostly here now because of our freedom of choice and our own personal vibrations.

Currently, we are transitioning (when are we not transitioning?) from a reality of dependency on a controlling facet of energy to one of complete independence. We are at the helm now and it is vitally important that we make decisions on our own, without being swayed by outside infulences of a lower vibrating nature... or even outside influences from others who view things from a completely different filter or stance than we do. It is important now that we step back if needed and remember who we are and what we indeed came to contribute...that we remind ourselves what we are here to do, and not what others may want. And in this way, stay very vigilant in what we know to be the best for ourselves and for the planet.

When we first arrive here in this new and higher vibrating reality of late, we may feel very naked. This is because there is so much less density in higher vibrating realities that we can feel nothing much between ourselves and most of everything else.

In this regard, then, we can feel extremely vulnerable with no protection. Perhaps even raw and helpless, but this is the way it is when we can see so much more of what is there, without having to look through walls of density or forests of lower vibrating energies. And what we can now see can feel scary, dark, perhaps uncomfortable, and may even leave us feeling spooked. Much is open now. The walls and density have very much dissipated.

And add to this the fact that we have dropped much of any lower vibrating and dense energies within ourselves as well.....hence, our old defenses are no longer available. We are vulnerable and raw indeed.

So then, what are some of the manifestations of this current situation we may be finding ourselves in?

In the health arena, many are having different experiences to medication. We may not respond to certain medications now like we did before. Or, a combination of medications may not interact in the same way. This is because of the openings to a higher vibration we are now having, and it creates new alignments and changes within our systems. Blood pressures are becoming eratic as well. Too high for awhile, and then strangley and suddenly low. (Please seek medical attention when needed...not everything is an ascension experience.) Weight loss if finally here! Wheeee! I have lost 15 pounds since the end of March. We need not hold that density of protection and of the light for others any longer within ourselves.

After seeming chaos and stressful scenarios, solutions are now manifesting and many are finding themselves in better than ever states of health and wellness.

Learning about appropriate boundaries is more prevalent now than ever before. The process of ascension always brings regular phases relating to less boundaries because of less density, and we are now in yet another one indeed. The boundaries become thinner and thinner and we need to be ever more mindful to practice setting stronger boundaries...especially now when there is not much left of the old world and old vibrations to hold onto for many, and they will naturally, then, strive to grasp onto something else... which many times is those who vibrate higher. This also relates to darkness trying to hold on as well. Thus, extremely tight boundaries are more important than ever now. So then, if you are one who is here to serve others needing assistance, it is time now more than ever before to be vigilant about appropriate boundaries between yourself and others, and to be ever mindful of taking on the energies of others....a very natural things for a lightworker because of how we are wired. Over-helping, too much compassion, and putting others needs before ours can create this situation as well.

And if you are one who is usually very open, trusting, sharing, and very considerate in healthy and appropriate ways, you may very well get clobbered now and in times to come. And the reason for this brings us to another current situation which is creating yet another experience as well.

Along with the situation of clinging and grasping energies mentioned above, much of the old reality is falling away now and this is creating unusual and fearful behaviors in many...among those a natural human inclination for some to look out for oneself, to protect oneself, to grasp onto something to save oneself, and thus, to completely forget about the whole in these times of stress, fear, and uneasiness.

Here in the US we are feeling the pressures of skyrocketing gas prices and food prices, to name a few. This can create a continual feeling of uneasiness and fear, of uncertainty and insecurity for many. For those who are sensitive, it can be quite a daunting challenge not to pick up these energies. But this is part of the fall. This is part of the passing of the old. We are being turned inside out in order to start anew.

This falling away is a planetary occurence as well, as there is not much of the old density left for much to hold onto. Tendrils of this process which is now occurring quite intensely now in the US will branch out and eventually affect the whole in a more substantial way. And in addition, there is also much occurring in regard to re-setting or re-aligning all over the planet, manifesting as earth changes and much else. What a transitional time we are in indeed!

A natural human tendency can be one of survival. So then, we can also find ourselves experiencing many who are greatly looking out for themselves, and thus, making things difficult for others. This is part of the process. For those who are supporting the whole and who see unity as a natural by-product of the fall, these times we are currently experiencing can prove to be dissapointing, exhausting, deeply saddening, and most certainly unpleasant as well.

What we are experiencing now is the transition of leaving the old world behind and beginning the transition into unity. This is creating chaos, distress, sadness and grief, but at the same time, there are the beginnings of this new unity manifesting as well. As in any transition, it can be difficult in the beginning, and then it eventually snowballs and a higher vibrating reailty then becomes the current and new reality.

So then, we will break apart and then come back together again. We will re-unite after some of us have had meltdowns, great feelings of loss of control, perhaps panic attacks, and intense disappointments and sadness regarding this current status we are now experiencing. But know that this is simply a part of a great and massive transition. This is the beginning, and these experiences will eventually result in a very new unity.

The energies are dissipating now. The density is leaving. This creates a breaking up or breaking apart of old patterns, old behaviors, and one can at times feel as though they are hanging on by a thread and having one big meltdown. Who is minding the store? Where are the controls? Can anything and everything happen now with no apparent rules or guidelines? This seemingly out of control energy is a manifestations of a higher vibration. It is a manifestation of a new opening and of more expansiveness.

The new guidelines and new ways of being are up to us to set into place. Perhaps we are not used to this new freedom...this new absence of controlling or dense energies or in other words having a lid on things. Sudden and complete freedom can cause chaos for sure. Things are wide open now, a new level of expansiveness has been reached, and within this new openness are still existing lower vibrating energies. They are panicking, not sure where to go, and are either holding onto higher vibrating energies (which are many of us, thus, the need for tighter boundaries), or going into self protection mode and forgetting about the whole. And once again, for those of us who are vibrating highly in unity, being around this panicking and self-serving energy can feel downright awful indeed. And remember as well that these panicking energies will abuse and take for granted energies of a considerate, caring, and thoughtful nature. They are very afraid and are forgetting their connection to Source.

It is all of this that can make some of us feel like staying home in our personal sanctuaries and never wanting to venture out again! But as always, there is good news as well.

Other manifestations? As we begin a new residency in a higher realms reality, any energies which are out of balance or in other words extreme in one direction or another, will naturally attempt to balance themselves. In order to exist here, this will indeed need to occur. So then, we will find ourselves getting clobbered and
having very unpleasant experiences in regard to any out of balance energies within ourselves. Behaviors we may have possessed in which we thought were right and good, may not be serving us well now. We are the way we are because we thought that this was the highest and best way to be. We are being shown higher vibrating ways now, and they may not be what we had ever imagined them to be. Learning the right use of caring and helping is one. In times past in a lower vibrating reality, we may have believed that some forms of helping were needed and a higher way of being, but we are now finding that this is simply not the case. Learning the right use of caring and helping is one, but there are many, many more.

The energies we are residing in are vibrating much higher now. This is creating much movement within and without, and much chaos. Basically, much is re -aligning and re-adjusting. Many of the experiences we are having are manifestations in the physical world of how we are currently vibrating within ourselves. So whatever strange occurrences we are now having, know that they are only a reflection of what is inside of us, and as we are vibrating so much higher now, these manifestations are arriving very quickly. But these uncomfortable manifestations can also serve as a wonderful tool for adjusting our own vibrations to much healthier and balanced states.

One good remedy or saving grace is to simply stay centered and still with no intentional behaviors and no reaching, making things happen, movement, or pushing. We can allow these meltdowns or breaking apart of the old energies to simply occur. This will get much of our old selves out of the way and allow for help to arrive. Yes, help and support. Thus, we can remain still and step back while the fall is occurring.

Knowing who we are by connecting to our highest selves, and connecting more strongly to Source are always things to hold onto and this will never change.

We need not abandon our ways of loving generously, giving, guiding, and being considerate and respectful. We need only know that much of the whole has not yet caught up with where we are, but when they do, we can then let down and breathe, trust more, lessen our boundaries, and relax.

And help, support, unity, and love are right on the horizon. I can tell you this because I am having this experience right now myself, and if you are one who has not experienced this quite yet, you will very soon I am certain. Some of you may have had this experience for awhile now. We are all at different levels and on different timelines, so all is always in divine and perfect order. After the breaking apart begins to lessen, then the new unity and new connections begin to arrive. And it is then that we feel oh so glorious again. There is so much love present here, I cannot begin to tell you. It can make one want to cry a river of joy and gratitude for these new and higher vibrating connections. And there is so much love here! So much love and unity! Having a meltdown, giving up, getting out of the way, and allowing oneself to break apart also allows for help, love, and unity to arrive as well.

We are completing a transitional process. The breaking up or dissipating stage is always difficult. But the re-uniting stage is truly awesome indeed. Oh, it is truly awesome indeed! And June will bring in much more of the re-uniting. So for now, we can step back if need be and watch the outside reality fall, stay in our personal sanctuaries with our loved ones, keep up some very tight boundaries, and be ready for creating more of the new when things settle down and re-align a bit more in times to come.

Greetings!

The planet is continuing its process of turning inside out as it strives to align with a higher vibration or with new ways of living and being within a very new reality.



Much which existed in realities of the past, or within a lower vibrating dimension are becoming merely an illusion now as there is very little left to hold onto. In years past we may have imagined a higher vibrating world or reality for ourselves, and hence, this was the seeming illusion at that time. Now, the illusion is what is left of the old world, or the old ways of living and being, the old structures, and the old systems of survival. There is nothing left for them to adhere to and thus, they only really exist within our imaginations.



Yes, as we progress further and further into the higher realms, we have less and less of the old to hold onto. This can create a feeling of falling down a deep hole with nothing to grasp onto, or no apparent anchor. We may feel as though there is not much surrounding us now which feels remotely right or good, or even perhaps that we are existing in a vacuum all by ourselves…some kind of vortex of emptiness and detachment with no apparent connections to much of anything else.



I can assure you, all is right on track with our spiritual evolutionary process. All is right where in needs to be for this phase of the amazing ascension process we have chosen to undertake. And this current situation is only present because we have made so much progress thus far.



In the old 3D reality, dying involves letting go of much, a great and intense release, and then whoooosh!...we are in the higher realms. After we arrive, many times we immediately connect with our loved ones or those who give us comfort as we attempt to re-connect to a new reality in a very new place. At first we may not know where we are and may feel confused. But then a loved one or manifestation which brings us comfort arrives and we feel oh so much better. And after awhile, we regain our bearings and are then able to progress in a very new way with much more ease.



And this is what is occurring now. As the ascension process involves dying while we are alive, only in smaller stages which are palpable, we are now fully residing in a higher dimension as we have completed our journey through the tunnel and onto the other side of this current phase. So then, many are finding themselves re-connecting with friends and loved ones and re-establishing connections that make one feel oh so much better, or at least able to find some kind of shore or anchor to hold onto while we seemingly exist in the emptiness.



This is an important part of the process. If you have not yet had this experience in the physical, you may be having it during your dreamtime. Re-connecting with the old, or with energies which make us feel good again, involves the first stage of the re-connection process for our new existence in the higher realms. With much else having fallen away or no longer working for us, connecting to others involving the energy of love always works. And this brings us to our next evolutionary stage as well.



Here in the US we are experiencing a recession. Food and gas prices are becoming unmanageable and are beginning to affect many. This is part of the plan. Nothing is wrong here. The US has always been the forerunner and the superpower, and now it is re-defining and re-setting itself as it begins its alignment more fully with the higher realms.



We are thus entering the stage where we will be connecting much more fully with our brothers and sisters, our neighbors, and our loved ones. These seemingly unmanageable conditions are creating the need for unity. There has been a severe lack of unity on this planet for a very long time, and it is about to begin the process of change. Going it alone, taking care of oneself only, and having to do it all are ways which do not exist in the higher realms.



And because of this, it can be easy to see who will be our next President here in the US. This is where the planet is vibrating and he will be a match. All in divine and perfect order.



Because of this new unity that currently exists with the new energies, it can feel downright unbearable when it does not manifest in form. Many are vibrating there within right now, and when the outside manifestations do not match the inside vibrations, we can literally feel sick inside as we are not a match for our environment. This has always been one of the challenges of the ascension process….not matching our outside reality as it has not yet caught up. And depression is many times the outcome, but only for temporary and brief periods (if you are one who has experienced depression for long periods of time, I would encourage you to seek help, as it is readily available and may not always be attributed to the ascension process).



These current economic conditions we may be finding ourselves in are only serving to encourage us to speak to our neighbors face to face…to be there for each other….to help and support each other…and to connect more fully to our area of immediate location….our community. This does not mean that we need never tend to the planet as a whole. Quite the contrary as unity has many boundaries and many levels.



As we have succeeded in emptying out so much, we are now poised to re-connect once again. And what we re-connect to will be very different than what we have connected to before. This is because we are vibrating higher now and will attract much more pleasant and incredible experiences for ourselves.



Now, in addition, we are being greatly encouraged to connect with each other. As the Hopi quite eloquently have said, “We are the ones we have been waiting for.” These current planetary conditions may feel downright awful, but they are here for a reason and very much a part of the process.



June



As June arrives, so will more of our new connections. With things finally calming down a bit for many, as we have aligned more readily now with the new, it can be a good time in latter May and into June to begin the process of tying up loose ends and readying for our new endeavors and new connections. We may now have the time to get the things done which we could not before, as too much had landed upon us during the overload of energy phase we most recently experienced in April and the first half of May. And with the advent of Mercury turning retrograde from May 26 to June 19 or 20, we will be assisted in this process.



Much more will come for us in June. Things will be lining up. We will connect with new people and new things. Our new beginnings will finally begin beginning! We will come together much more as a whole. We will unite with those who match us in better ways.



With the current emptiness we may find ourselves in, it may seem that much is in dire straits, but what we are seeing is simply the emptiness. There is nothing really there yet to see or to connect to. We are neither here nor there. Our new connections have yet to be established, and the theme of this new, again, is a connection to each other.



2012



There has been much energy and focus floating around about the year 2012. Many might say it marks the end of the world. And many are focusing on this event instead of focusing on where they are now.



2012 will simply mark the end of an era or reality. The planets will be positioned in such a way that a signal or benchmark will have been reached. For many of us who are sensitive, we may feel this event very intensely within ourselves. It will mean that a completion has occurred, and we are right on track with this benchmark. So then, from now until 2012, we will be experiencing a step-by-step process of releasing the old and arriving in the new.



When 2012 arrives, there will be no catastrophes, dire events, or great suffering. We will already be where we need to be, and this event will simply validate the fact that we have done what we needed to do as a planet and thus arrived here at this time. And it will be then that the beginning of the new, or the rebuilding of the planet will be put into play in full force. And by then, each and every one of us will know exactly what we are doing and what is indeed occurring.



Until then, we will be moving ahead in steps, being right where each of us needs to be, introducing the new, and staying safe and secure while the planet continues with its fall. The re-building of the planet will really begin in earnest after December of 2012. So then, we are not quite there yet. But by the time 2012 arrives, we will have become much more connected to our souls or higher selves and will then really and truly know what it is that we came to create and who we are in regard to our own special contribution.



There are many different stages that each of us can find ourselves in. Some are ready now, and others are climbing up the rungs of the ladder to heaven. All rightly so. If things had shifted over in one big whoooosh!, we would be much too traumatized and would certainly not be able to handle something like this. And in addition, we are the ultimate creators and we get to choose what we want things to look like!



So for now, know that our new connections are about to begin, change is about to occur on an intense level, we are about to become very involved in ushering in the new and taking a stand, and many of us will begin the life of our dreams.
