When we "think" about the spiritual miracles possible within our world, then we immediately rationalize these miracles are not possible, and in turn, shut down all chance of them manifesting. By definition, this is "mind over matter." Our own limiting beliefs, our own doubts and disbelief LITERALLY prevent said miracles from happening. It's not that they are not possible, it really is that your limiting belief will not allow them to happen in YOUR LIFE!
WE ARE THE CREATORS OF OUR OWN LIVES!
If we are not open to miracles, miracles will not happen.
If we do not believe, we do not experience.
If we doubt miracles can happen to us, they will not.
This is not rocket science ...everyone understands: What we believe, we physically create in our lives. "End of session." :^D
What do you believe? Taking an inventory of our belief system is essential in learning all the limiting beliefs we hold. Everytime I hear someone start a sentence with the phrase "trust me," I cringe and never really trust that person. So let's try a different approach: PLEASE BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY, WE HAVE SO MANY LIMITING BELIEFS WHICH DISEMPOWER US! There are some easy tools in identifying your personal beliefs. Research them at the library or the internet, and if you're having difficulty ...no problem! I'd be glad to assist.

Transmutation News May 2011
Nature continues to give us some strong wake up calls. It is time to listen to what is being asked of us!
We hold all of life in our hearts and prayers as the tornadoes in the Southeast of the United States continue to create a great deal of destruction.
It is important for all of us in our global community to remember we all are connected to a web of life. As we continue to watch such transition throughout the world, we are all being effected as we are all connected.
We must continue to do our spiritual work, to find ways to drop into our inner wisdom, and listen to the messages we are being given during this intense time of change.
As we remember we're connected to a web of life, please acknowledge every change in consciousness we make ripples throughout the entire web.
Part of our spiritual work is learning how to respond to all that is happening in our lives and on the planet in ways which support the changes being asked of us. And we must continue to learn how to live in a conscious way. So together, let’s continue to explore what that means for each of us.
As I read what people send around on the Internet and as I travel lecturing to groups, I am struck by how much conversation goes on about our potential. I am led to wonder: When do we stop talking about our potential and do the work that leads to the healing needed right now?
Of course, life is a process of growth with no end to where we can evolve. But at the same time, all life is calling for us to be still and use the spiritual healing gifts we were all born with right now.
If you have been engaged in a spiritual healing practice, you have witnessed miraculous healings. In my thirty years of practicing shamanic healing, I have witnessed cures of cancer and other life threatening illnesses I never thought possible. I have been part of groups who focus together on a life threatening illness of a friend or member in the community and have seen how the illness miraculously disappeared ...baffling doctors who could not explain the change.
What is blocking the manifestation of our potential and how do we move forward?
In my own spiritual practice, I have many ways of receiving information from my own helping spirits and tapping into my own spiritual wisdom. I engage in the practice of shamanic journeying. I receive a wealth of information as I sit quietly sipping a cup of tea. I take walks in nature, am guided by the spirits around me, and feel my own inner spirit sharing so much with me. I channel spiritual and inspiring information while I do a variety of monotonous tasks throughout the day.
Another potent way for me to receive guidance is to ask for an answer to a question before I go to sleep at night knowing I might get a dream providing answers. I wrote about setting an intention for a dream in some of my books.
About a month ago, I asked for a dream speaking to what might be blocking the collective potential. And I did receive a message that night in a dream. The message I heard was, “You need to stop merging your spiritual work with science.” When I woke up, I reflected on this message. I came to understand the word “science” to mean the rational and the intellectual.
For spirit is completely unlimited. When we can move our ego and rational mind out of the way to be a vessel for the power of the universe and the divine to flow through us, all healing is possible. Shamans use a metaphor to describe this state as becoming a hollow bone. But once we start to think about the possibilities of the miracles of spiritual work, our mind moves into a place of limitation. We limit what spirit can do by trying to understand and rationalize. And this leads us to believe miracles are impossible. As a collective, we have given our power away to the scientific, intellectual and rational which continues to support our limiting beliefs.
I imagine most of you reading these entries, The Transmutation News, want to shift out of a collective belief of limitations. And there is no better time than now! We must dismember, discreate, dissolve the beliefs we are holding and limiting us everytime we start to focus our imagination, thoughts and words on the world we WISH to dream into being.
Here are simple ways that might work, especially this month. The first step, of course, is to identify your limiting beliefs. Remember: Any limiting belief YOU have is also part of the collective belief.
Take a walk in nature or find a way to sit quietly in a space where you can reflect. You can put on some music that you find expands you beyond a rational state to a meditative state. Or you might find that the silence allows you to sink within. If you have a spiritual practice that assists you in traveling within and accessing your own intuitive knowing, then use this practice. If you have a way of accessing helping spirits, then use the way you know. Again, you can set an intention of asking for some guidance in a dream before going to sleep at night.
During your spiritual practice, focus on these questions: “What are my limiting beliefs and attitudes preventing me from surrendering to the flow of unconditional love and divine light? What are the beliefs I repeat throughout the day which tell me miraculous healings for the planet are impossible?” These are just some suggestions of questions to ask. You might find there is a different way of wording the question which fits better for you personally.
The next step is to dismember/dissolve these beliefs, and there are a variety of ways to do this. I give examples of ceremonies for dissolving limiting beliefs in Medicine for the Earth and How to Thrive in Changing Times.
You can go outside and perform a ceremony where you allow the earth, air, water, or fire to transform your limiting belief(s) into light and love.
One of my helping spirits gave me a practice to write out my limiting beliefs and then use the product “white out” to literally white out that belief. This creates a blank screen/canvas for me to create something new. As a limiting thought comes up, I imagine myself whiting it out over and over again until the power of the thought diminishes and disappears.
You can also paint a picture of limitations, and then paint over it with a healing and expansive image.
If you like to dance, allow yourself to dance the feelings of limitation. Then when ready, change your movements to reflect feelings of freedom and being unlimited.
For those of you who engage in shamanic journeying, you can journey to one of your helping spirits to ask for healing to dismember the beliefs and attitudes you are holding.
If you don’t journey, try this. Put on some relaxing beautiful music, and lie or sit down. Imagine yourself sitting in a beautiful garden, and ask for a helping Being to come to you. When your helping Being comes, ask the spirit to help you dissolve your limiting thoughts and attitudes you've identified. And as always, allow these suggestions to fuel your imagination to come up with your own way to work.
You might need to continue this dis-creation work over time. Hold the belief in miracles, and acknowledge now is the for the need for your limiting beliefs is over. It is time for us to join together as a collective surrendering to the unlimited healing Spirit can bring. But we must let go of the old beliefs binding us. It is time for us to step into our spiritual power.
As a collective, we SAY we want the best life has to offer, and we SAY we want healing for the earth and all of life. But we must reflect on what we continue to project.
Think of how many millions of people have been reading books and listening to lectures on the coming earth changes. What projection has been placed upon our planet, and how can we change our projections?
Remember the quote from Emmet Fox I've published a few times now:
“It is impossible to think one thing and produce another.”
Here is one example of how we project that Lauren Torres, a brilliant shamanic teacher, in Illinois wrote to me about.
“Hello Sandra.
I was thinking through what I know about shapeshifting the other day, and I had an insight about the Focus part of the transmutation formula that I wanted to share.
Since I am in the car alot, I used to practice shapeshifting with the traffic. I'd try to become the consciousness of moving traffic and shapeshift the traffic around me. I found that for the most part traffic is amenable to shapeshifting, because people are really there to join the existing pattern.
I did have one time where I absolutely could do nothing with the traffic. It was really bad, and not moving. While I sensed it did not have to be quite so bad, everyone was thinking about how bad the traffic was. People on the radio were talking about how bad the traffic was. In other words every driver was so focused on the reality of the traffic being bad that it was not in any way amenable to a shapeshift. I felt that the focus of the other drivers anchored the reality of the bad traffic into existence.
Anyway, it occurred to me that focus serves as an anchor. If you focus too much on the wrong thing during a transfiguration, say you think about the disease instead of thinking of the body as perfectly healthy, this serves as an anchor to a reality that exists and does not allow the thing to change.”
In the old forms of esoteric healing it is taught that when a healer focuses on a disease the healer joins in with the client to solidify the disease. For the healer now agrees that there is a problem fueling the power of the disease itself.
When a healer only sees the client in his/her divine perfection the spiritual part of the client that is radiant light can now flow through creating healing.
We can say the same about the earth itself. As we focus together on the divine light and perfection of the earth this what is reflected back to us.
And this is one of the core teachings of the Medicine for the Earth work."
Part of projecting a new vision for the planet is being able to engage the depth of our senses to fuel our imagination and our creative abilities.
What I find is as people feel worn down by life, we move into a place where our senses become deadened. We are also surrounded by the media which provides [fear-induced] images for us instead of allowing new beautiful vivid images to arise from inside of us. We listen to music on mp3 players and iPods (for some people all day long), and we do not allow our inner music to play through us.
The key to using our imagination to create is to be able to engage our strong inner senses with our own vivid images, sounds, smells, tastes, and feelings. We need to be able to create our own powerful movies with each of us LIVING the movie instead of simply watching the movie. We need to fuel our senses with intense enthusiasm. We need to stop allowing the outside world to write our script, and our new script must be born from our inner world. Finally, we must use the depth of our senses to make our creations real.
I think people operate as flat screen TVs. Where is the depth of our own senses? We are fed so much from the outer world. We need to allow our senses to bubble up through us. We must feed the outer world from the depth of our own senses filled with power and enthusiasm.
If we cannot get in touch with the true power of our own vivid images, with our own internal songs of creation, with the beauty of the fragrances we wish to smell, with the taste of healthy food grown and cooked with love, and with the feeling of touching the beauty of life, then there is no power in our creation. If our creation is not fueled by passion and enthusiasm, there is no power in what we project into the world. And in turn, the world reflects superficiality back to us as our creative work is superficial and lacks depth and power.
I feel so strongly this is a vital missing piece! So much of our creative work simply lacks passion and depth. And at the same time, we must have compassion for ourselves and find patience with this process. As many of us live disconnected from nature and surround ourselves with so much input from TV, computers, DVDs, CDs, et cetera, our own ability to get in touch with the depth of our senses is hidden.
Think about how many years we have been deadening our senses. We need to have the patience to awaken the depth of the wealth of our inner senses. We need to revive our passion, and remember times in our life when we were passionate for something ...when enthusiasm fueled our lives.
Find times in the day when you can go within yourself and start to bring up your own vivid images and your own songs. Really try to focus on fragrances you love and tastes you enjoy. Imagine yourself walking around and touching with your hands different things you love. Try and make your inner senses tangible. Do this a few minutes before you go to sleep or when you wake up. Try this for just a few minutes a day. The intensity with which you can experience the senses in your inner world will directly effect your ability to create what you want in the outer world you live in.
Here is an example. If you wish for healing to take place at a particular location on the planet, then imagine reading a newspaper article announces the healing has already taken place. Feel the texture of the newspaper in your hands and on your fingertips. Take a good smell of the ink. Experience yourself smiling as you read the article out loud and hear the laughter of your friends as you share the good news.
As our lives and the planet keep going through intense changes, many of us have been reflecting on the meaning of life. I believe at some point, we get to a place of feeling that focusing on the outer world does not create happiness. We realize by collecting more [stuff] in the material world does not create meaning and purpose. As we grow and evolve, we start to see true meaning and wealth lies within. This has been my blog topics for the last few years in The Transmutation News and in How to Thrive in Changing Times.
As I keep journeying within and experiencing the wealth of my inner garden, it's quite meaningful for me being a channel of love and light. For what else is there as you evolve in your life’s journey?
At some point, learning more techniques and methods for spiritual practice becomes a distraction. At some point, we must stop searching for more spiritual information, and must BECOME all that we are learning.
In Medicine for the Earth I share a Haitian proverb:
“The gods won’t appear and the magic won’t happen, if we are not living our real life. Studying life is not LIVING life, and therefore has no magic.”
Let us live each minute of our lives filled with honor, respect, and gratitude. Let us be a vessel of divine love and radiate light into the world as the sun and the stars above.
Let us be a bridge of the spiritual energies of the heavens and the earth.
Let us surrender to unconditional love and project that into the world. Let us experience our divine light and radiate this light throughout the web of life.
Our perception creates our reality. In Medicine for the Earth, I wrote in order to change our perception, we must experience the beauty in all things. This is a wonderful teaching and for many of us who have been so worn down by life, it is not easy to experience this teaching on the cellular level that creates a true change in our reality.
Being worn down by life is part of a powerful initiation. For the egoic part of ourselves keeping us separate from Source and Oneness is what is being worn down. And this process allows our divine spirit to shine through.
At some point in the worn-down process and our way of life is no longer working, we recognize we are now standing before a blank canvas and it is time to revision what we want to experience in life.
Allowing ourselves to see the beauty in all things is a great stance to take as we revision our lives. But how can we see the beauty around us if we don’t experience our own beauty?
And how can we experience our own inner beauty if we don’t feel true passion and joy for life?
I titled the first Transmutation News of 2011 “Choosing Joy,” and I want us to continue on this theme.
Yes, there are many people who are suffering right now. We feel great compassion for all who are being challenged on so many levels. However, we must remember: There also must be a number of us in the collective who can hold the space and help to be supportive by actually experiencing the beauty and joy life has to offer.
Through so many personal and global challenges, I believe many of us have started to lose our passion. Passion is a strong energy of feeling, and when we start to lose that kind of energy, life takes on a very superficial quality.
I would like to share a story with you. In the 1970’s I went to San Francisco State University as a returning student. I had decided to get a BA in Biology specializing in Marine Biology. I have always loved the green of life and love plants, trees, all that grows out of the earth. I decided to study the plants that grow in seawater and engaged in the study of sea algae.
I had a professor who taught me so much about being passionate. He was one of the world’s specialists in algae, and he was going to be retiring shortly. He had devoted his whole career to algae.
As part of our grade, we would go to different beaches along the coast of Northern California and individually we each had to collect different algae from a list.
I still remember my experience so vividly as if it was just yesterday. Every time one of us would find an algae, our professor would come over to that person and get so excited that he would literally start laughing and jumping with joy. Of course each of us would start to jump with joy with him while standing on the great ocean rocks that would reveal themselves in the low tide.
My question to you: When was the last time you jumped with joy? We watch children do it all the time. How much of the beauty of life are we missing as we stopped jumping for joy?
The earth, the waters of the world, the air, the sun, the moon, the stars, and the planets above all celebrate as we experience joy for life. And this is a magical healing for the entire web of life!
I challenge you this month to find a time when you can go into nature and revel in the wonder and joy of life. If you can’t do this physically, then do this with your eyes closed using the great power of your imagination. Awaken your inner senses to fuel the power of your imagination.
Dance in joy with the beauty of nature you experience around you. Remember all the imaginary beings you knew as a child: The fairies, the hidden folk, the spirit beings who radiated glittering light. Dance with them in joy. This can be figuratively or physically. The key is to get the feeling of joy in your body.
Move away from a place of feeling tired, drained, and focused on the challenges and the energy of scarcity. Allow the energy of bounty and limitless light and joy to flow through you. It might be a stretch at first, but let the power of your imagination provide the fuel you need.
Remind yourself to imagine engaging in celebration throughout each and every day. Let’s explore together and experience the joyful adventure of life. Let’s feed the web of life with joy this month.
Again this is not to deny all that is happening in the world. As we watch death and transitions in nature, there is always new birth popping up through the earth reminding us of the hope of new life. As we watch people die around us, we are also surrounded by new babies born and we celebrate new birth.
We must rebalance our lives by grieving what has been lost and at the same time remembering the incredible joy, hope, and passion of the new coming in.
Life without passion leads to despair. Let’s celebrate life. As we remember how to jump with joy again then we can perceive the beauty in life around us.
As we experience joy and passion for life and for our creations, our divine light radiates through us effortlessly. Let’s bring joy into our ceremony together on the full moon May 17 as we continue to weave a web of light within and throughout the earth.
If you are new to reading the Transmutation News please read “Creating A Human Web of Light” on the homepage of this site.
Years ago a friend of mine in France sent me a quote that I keep on my desk. I hope it is helpful to you:
“Life is not waiting for storms to pass. It’s about learning how to dance in the rain.”
To learn more about Agartha, please read the very first posting: Scroll to March 17th, 2011. Otherwise, enjoy nearly everyday updates of worldwide news --with an alternative news twist, which shares with you how the Spirit World views what's being reported on mainstream media. In other words, here is where you get to learn what's REALLY GOING ON in our world --not what the TV & radio report, which in my humble opinion is simply programming designed to keep us living in fear.

The Time is NOW to Let Go of our Ascension Growing Pains & Step into WHO We Came to Be!
I AM so flippin' grateful for the internet where we LightWorkers can join together, and finally find one another --unlike the previous decades living & flying solo without being able to find our "soul family," doing all this advocating and educating alone, and feeling incredibly insolated trying to help people see the bigger picture and understand the beautiful Ascension option EVERY HUMAN BEING has, which is fast approaching!
This blog entry is wonderful ...thank you Lauren Gorgo. Love her snarky humor and ability to make light of our situation even when it can be SO CHALLENGING at times!
Again, I highlighted parts which resonated with me... enjoy highlighting the topics with which you and your world connect!

The Transition Zone: crossing over
Early last week I faintly heard these words one morning at dawn: "Hearken! It is high time to release the wounds of the purification process".
I remember thinking to myself in that hazy pre-wake state…"wow, wouldn't that be nice." Then I woke up. I lazily oriented myself to my surroundings, noticed the usual heavy feelings of cellular detoxification accompanied by the same ole aches and pains, and quickly fell back to sleep thinking…"as if."
A few days later I sat down to type this message from the Unseens:
"It is high time for the path-pavers of new-humanity to release the wounds of the purification process. When you permit yourself to release the remaining struggle, you create the space required for a new reality to be birthed."
They meant business.
Still More Letting Go
For those of you on the front line...the 1st infantry division... I don't have to tell you its been nothing but a (conscious) struggle since 2001. Granted, not everyone has had the same planetary ascension J-O-B... we are scattered all over the world with different missions of service... but this particular group of spiritual soldiers has been responsible for, among other things, clearing (thru their own lives and bodies) the genetic (karmic) miasms of various familial, cultural, racial, sexual, gender, religious, spiritual & new age collectives.
This group willingly submerged themselves in the densest energies of polarity (separation) with the sole task of finding their way back to neutrality (oneness) and along the way have been purifying these lineages, in some cases, since birth.
These starseed mercenaries have been fighting, climbing and swimming upstream against a myriad of indoctrinated be-lie-f structures for so long that many have built (necessary) walls of protection and created callouses from condemnation, societal/familial backlash, harassment, and even modern-day persecution from those steeped so deeply in convention.
This group is the A-team, the next generation of leaders, and tho recognition may never come for the dedication, sacrifice and service to this planet and her people, no matter...validation is not what this soul group is after. This tribe is wired for one thing and one thing only: FREEdom...and with that comes the understanding, based on enormous personal challenge, that the only real reward in life is deliverance from fear.
Which brings us to the next level of letting go...
Part of the ongoing ascent in consciousness is the realization we cannot get stuck in any phase of growth or purpose ...including and especially the "spiritual phase." We must continually move onward and upward without overly-identifying or latching onto any process, role, or be-lie-f structure. The minute we attach to anything, we lose our freedom and stifle our creative power.
The point of conscious co-creation is to live in the moment... to create our every next moment from the moment that preceded it. The ascension "process" teaches us we are not here to own or hold experiences, but to fluidly move thru them so as to continually embrace the next experience... and the next, and the next. The same holds true for those front line warriors here to dismantle the old paradigm. The fighting phase is over... time to put down the swords, remove the armor and align with the next leg of the journey.
Many of us, and this group in particular, are now in the "process" of merging our lower four-body system (spiritual, mental, emotional, physical) with our higher self, or divine blueprint ...which will, by default, magnetize a whole new perceptual and physical reality... but only when we are willing to let go of the fighting phase.
The energies of this month in particular, but especially since the 9th wave activation, have been helping us to slowly let our guards down and feel safe enuf to be true so we can boldly & confidently take our next steps into the unknown. During the first three weeks of April we have all been tested, in one profound way or another, to see if we can be held accountable for our choice to really let go ...not only of struggle, but of all past programming which will enable us to fully release our pain-body.
Releasing Resistance
April has been asking us to make the final choice to tune-out of the old frequency of pain, fear and struggle so we can fully tune-into the new frequency of grace. It's not as if our doubt, or focus on our pain will inhibit the birth of the new, its just we risk overlooking the subtle emergence of ease if we continue to be-lie-ve that what we truly desire cannot be true. In other words… as we step into the second half of this year and begin to apply ourselves in more physical ways, any continual focus on struggle or resistance to what-is, will greatly hinder us and revive unnecessary suffering in the coming days, weeks & months of rapid expansion.
This isn't to say we must ignore, avoid or repress the discomfort we feel... the discomfort is real. The baggage we need to dump here is the resistance to the discomfort…that which creates suffering. This is just another fancy way of saying "presence" or "neutrality"…and the Unseens are hammering in my brain that its time now, rather, NOW we have the support to step fully into ourselves and that means letting go of any remaining attachments... including the ascension horrors ...I mean, process.
NOTE: Just to be clear…especially for those who wish I would glaze over the goo… I definitely use humor & irreverence as a way to punch holes thru the veil …to remind us in our darkest moments life is still a game, even when it sucks …but mostly, to help us continually detach from the "process," not to dwell upon it. When we can dig up our self-created goo and laugh at the horror of it all, we are less than an inch away from moving beyond it... so it pays to poke fun at ourselves. And the reason humor is my drug of choice is because laughing is the most powerful form of presence, of alignment, of transcendence, that I have yet to experience in this life. As someone who has spent many many years sitting in my own sticky goo, I assure you a light-heart-ed approach to such a heavy journey will yield more powerful results than any reverence or prayer ever could.
Transition Zone
I mentioned in the last energy update this month was a demarcation point …it is actually a transition zone and THE month to make our choices final ...to fully align ourselves with our new, true direction …to bring ourselves completely out of the past and immerse ourselves fully in the present, so we can co-create our future. This period has been bizarre at best... mostly because, but not limited to the fact we are experiencing two opposing realities at once.
It's the same old foot in both worlds scenario ...where we have access to the old and the new simultaneously ...but on steroids. You know you are on the cusp of a major breakthru if you are sitting somewhere in the middle of two very conflicting feelings ...like you may be feeling worried, yet at peace …excited, yet calm …doubtful, yet full of hope …isolated, but connected …sick, but well …chaotic, yet balanced …bored, but inspired.
It's a total mind trip and because we're in the passage of crossing over... we're actually coming full circle where the end and beginning meet each other... where death is really rebirth ...and we can absolutely feel both at once.
This phase mimics physical death in so many ways and during the month of March, I had the privilege to experience this first hand while helping to care for my great Aunt during her physical transition to the "other-side." Not only was I called to be a caretaker, but I was also asked on a higher level to serve as an ambassador of unconditional love... to stand in as an anchor and help to hold a sacred space for her complete metamorphosis ...to act as a midwife to her re-birth and finally, on the last day, to act as an usher or "transition guide" to help her cross over on her graduation day.
I could go on for days about the ways in which this amazing experience changed me, but what really struck a chord with me was the clear reflection I saw of each and every one of us on this journey of rebirth ...the inner-strength we all must tap into as we learn to let go of layer after layer of attachment so our true selves can emerge and shine in the physical world.
As I watched all attachments fall from my aunt's grasp I realized I was being gifted with the opportunity to witness this beautiful soul surrender a lifetime of idiosyncrasies...before my eyes. All the walls of protection we use to safeguard our hearts melted away in her frailty & fatigue...and in the end, all that was left was the pureness, the soft yet overwhelmingly powerful radiance of love within her...that same inner-beauty that fought for an entire lifetime to reveal itself fully.
More than anything, my aunt's transition represented to me the outer-manifestation of such a long inward journey. For her, the journey was a lifetime. For many of us, the journey was roughly 354 lifetimes condensed into 12 years minus the compression of time which equals just slightly more than 15 minutes on the new earth clock.
What Next?
April has been been no walk in the park by any standards, but if you embraced the inward process of review fully, you may suddenly be spellbound by the amount of growth, awareness, and insights that came oozing out of this Mercury retrograde period. We still have a few days left in its wake, (and we are still in need of self-nurturing) but the great messenger offered us some huge chunks of potentially life-changing information along the way. Those vital pieces to our cosmic puzzles that we have been waiting a very long time for may have made their way to your front door this month …those same pieces that will finally enable us to move forward and apply ourselves in a whole and complete way.
These new pieces of information we are now integrating will serve as the boarding passes to our new lives …those material manifestations required to blast off into our new directions with our new (higher-level) purpose. By the time Mercury goes direct on Saturday, we will be prepared to take our next steps …those steps that are now aligned with our inner and outer selves …and forward movement will commence again, albeit at a completely new level. Collectively, we are stepping into a new level of human potential …one that is multidimensional, masculine/feminine integrated, and with new (cosmic) awareness that leads us to do new things in new ways ...ways that are fully aligned with our authentic (core) selves.
"Realize there is no more separation between who you are and who you want to be." -Pleiadians
Our willingness to just BE our true selves is all that is/was ever required to shift …and this transition into our most authentic selves is happening right now, with or without our participation [or awareness].
"What we will leave you with is this: NOW is the only time you ever need to be free... yet, and before you lash out in frustration, realize it took each of you and the collective of humanity until NOW, to integrate this truth. So, essentially, NOW you can freely use every NOW moment to be free! As you accumulate these NOW moments, you live life in an effortless flow of
NOW-ness". -The Seven Sisters of Pleiades
To reemergence!

This group willingly submerged themselves in the densest energies of polarity (separation) with the sole task of finding their way back to neutrality (oneness) and along the way have been purifying these lineages, in some cases, since birth.
These starseed mercenaries have been fighting, climbing and swimming upstream against a myriad of indoctrinated be-lie-f structures for so long that many have built (necessary) walls of protection and created callouses from condemnation, societal/familial backlash, harassment, and even modern-day persecution from those steeped so deeply in convention.
This group is the A-team, the next generation of leaders, and tho recognition may never come for the dedication, sacrifice and service to this planet and her people, no matter...validation is not what this soul group is after. This tribe is wired for one thing and one thing only: FREEdom...and with that comes the understanding, based on enormous personal challenge, that the only real reward in life is deliverance from fear.
Which brings us to the next level of letting go...
Part of the ongoing ascent in consciousness is the realization we cannot get stuck in any phase of growth or purpose ...including and especially the "spiritual phase." We must continually move onward and upward without overly-identifying or latching onto any process, role, or be-lie-f structure. The minute we attach to anything, we lose our freedom and stifle our creative power.
The point of conscious co-creation is to live in the moment... to create our every next moment from the moment that preceded it. The ascension "process" teaches us we are not here to own or hold experiences, but to fluidly move thru them so as to continually embrace the next experience... and the next, and the next. The same holds true for those front line warriors here to dismantle the old paradigm. The fighting phase is over... time to put down the swords, remove the armor and align with the next leg of the journey.
Many of us, and this group in particular, are now in the "process" of merging our lower four-body system (spiritual, mental, emotional, physical) with our higher self, or divine blueprint ...which will, by default, magnetize a whole new perceptual and physical reality... but only when we are willing to let go of the fighting phase.
The energies of this month in particular, but especially since the 9th wave activation, have been helping us to slowly let our guards down and feel safe enuf to be true so we can boldly & confidently take our next steps into the unknown. During the first three weeks of April we have all been tested, in one profound way or another, to see if we can be held accountable for our choice to really let go ...not only of struggle, but of all past programming which will enable us to fully release our pain-body.
Releasing Resistance
April has been asking us to make the final choice to tune-out of the old frequency of pain, fear and struggle so we can fully tune-into the new frequency of grace. It's not as if our doubt, or focus on our pain will inhibit the birth of the new, its just we risk overlooking the subtle emergence of ease if we continue to be-lie-ve that what we truly desire cannot be true. In other words… as we step into the second half of this year and begin to apply ourselves in more physical ways, any continual focus on struggle or resistance to what-is, will greatly hinder us and revive unnecessary suffering in the coming days, weeks & months of rapid expansion.
This isn't to say we must ignore, avoid or repress the discomfort we feel... the discomfort is real. The baggage we need to dump here is the resistance to the discomfort…that which creates suffering. This is just another fancy way of saying "presence" or "neutrality"…and the Unseens are hammering in my brain that its time now, rather, NOW we have the support to step fully into ourselves and that means letting go of any remaining attachments... including the ascension horrors ...I mean, process.
NOTE: Just to be clear…especially for those who wish I would glaze over the goo… I definitely use humor & irreverence as a way to punch holes thru the veil …to remind us in our darkest moments life is still a game, even when it sucks …but mostly, to help us continually detach from the "process," not to dwell upon it. When we can dig up our self-created goo and laugh at the horror of it all, we are less than an inch away from moving beyond it... so it pays to poke fun at ourselves. And the reason humor is my drug of choice is because laughing is the most powerful form of presence, of alignment, of transcendence, that I have yet to experience in this life. As someone who has spent many many years sitting in my own sticky goo, I assure you a light-heart-ed approach to such a heavy journey will yield more powerful results than any reverence or prayer ever could.
Transition Zone
I mentioned in the last energy update this month was a demarcation point …it is actually a transition zone and THE month to make our choices final ...to fully align ourselves with our new, true direction …to bring ourselves completely out of the past and immerse ourselves fully in the present, so we can co-create our future. This period has been bizarre at best... mostly because, but not limited to the fact we are experiencing two opposing realities at once.
It's the same old foot in both worlds scenario ...where we have access to the old and the new simultaneously ...but on steroids. You know you are on the cusp of a major breakthru if you are sitting somewhere in the middle of two very conflicting feelings ...like you may be feeling worried, yet at peace …excited, yet calm …doubtful, yet full of hope …isolated, but connected …sick, but well …chaotic, yet balanced …bored, but inspired.
It's a total mind trip and because we're in the passage of crossing over... we're actually coming full circle where the end and beginning meet each other... where death is really rebirth ...and we can absolutely feel both at once.
This phase mimics physical death in so many ways and during the month of March, I had the privilege to experience this first hand while helping to care for my great Aunt during her physical transition to the "other-side." Not only was I called to be a caretaker, but I was also asked on a higher level to serve as an ambassador of unconditional love... to stand in as an anchor and help to hold a sacred space for her complete metamorphosis ...to act as a midwife to her re-birth and finally, on the last day, to act as an usher or "transition guide" to help her cross over on her graduation day.
I could go on for days about the ways in which this amazing experience changed me, but what really struck a chord with me was the clear reflection I saw of each and every one of us on this journey of rebirth ...the inner-strength we all must tap into as we learn to let go of layer after layer of attachment so our true selves can emerge and shine in the physical world.
As I watched all attachments fall from my aunt's grasp I realized I was being gifted with the opportunity to witness this beautiful soul surrender a lifetime of idiosyncrasies...before my eyes. All the walls of protection we use to safeguard our hearts melted away in her frailty & fatigue...and in the end, all that was left was the pureness, the soft yet overwhelmingly powerful radiance of love within her...that same inner-beauty that fought for an entire lifetime to reveal itself fully.
More than anything, my aunt's transition represented to me the outer-manifestation of such a long inward journey. For her, the journey was a lifetime. For many of us, the journey was roughly 354 lifetimes condensed into 12 years minus the compression of time which equals just slightly more than 15 minutes on the new earth clock.
What Next?
April has been been no walk in the park by any standards, but if you embraced the inward process of review fully, you may suddenly be spellbound by the amount of growth, awareness, and insights that came oozing out of this Mercury retrograde period. We still have a few days left in its wake, (and we are still in need of self-nurturing) but the great messenger offered us some huge chunks of potentially life-changing information along the way. Those vital pieces to our cosmic puzzles that we have been waiting a very long time for may have made their way to your front door this month …those same pieces that will finally enable us to move forward and apply ourselves in a whole and complete way.
These new pieces of information we are now integrating will serve as the boarding passes to our new lives …those material manifestations required to blast off into our new directions with our new (higher-level) purpose. By the time Mercury goes direct on Saturday, we will be prepared to take our next steps …those steps that are now aligned with our inner and outer selves …and forward movement will commence again, albeit at a completely new level. Collectively, we are stepping into a new level of human potential …one that is multidimensional, masculine/feminine integrated, and with new (cosmic) awareness that leads us to do new things in new ways ...ways that are fully aligned with our authentic (core) selves.
"Realize there is no more separation between who you are and who you want to be." -Pleiadians
Our willingness to just BE our true selves is all that is/was ever required to shift …and this transition into our most authentic selves is happening right now, with or without our participation [or awareness].
"What we will leave you with is this: NOW is the only time you ever need to be free... yet, and before you lash out in frustration, realize it took each of you and the collective of humanity until NOW, to integrate this truth. So, essentially, NOW you can freely use every NOW moment to be free! As you accumulate these NOW moments, you live life in an effortless flow of
NOW-ness". -The Seven Sisters of Pleiades
To reemergence!

As Our Worlds Crumble, What Will We Create Anew?
Oh boy, my longest blog EVER...and yet I didn't write a word --man that feels nice!! ;^D
Normally, I give comments or explanations before the update; however, Tom Kenyon has already done this for me after this update from the Hathors-- yahooey! Thank you, Tom, oh and uh...nice photo there. This is SO AWESOME... please enjoy. I had fun highlighting the parts of Hathor's article with which I resonated most ...you too enjoy highlighting the parts in which you and your world connect most: Such a wonderful adventure we have awaiting us!
And remember, WE ARE THE CREATORS of our own reality ...our new reality in which we are manifesting everyday!
the following taken directly from:

A Hathor Planetary Message Through Tom Kenyon
Transition States of Consciousness
Definitions
Chaotic Nodes are clusters of chaotic events. According to the Hathors, Earth has entered a Chaotic Node and, as a result, we can expect ever-increasing levels of chaos—including but not limited to earthquakes, volcanic activity, aberrant weather patterns, ecological distress, as well as economic, social and political turmoil.
Transition States of Consciousness are what the Hathors call the in-between places when a major loss has occurred, and we find ourselves temporarily poised between an old reality that has passed away and a new reality that has not yet fully formed.
Perceptual markers are a term the Hathors use to describe how we make sense of our world and navigate through our lives using our five senses.
The Message
By their very nature, Chaotic Nodes tend to generate transition states of consciousness. Transition states of consciousness emerge when perceptual markers disappear. And when this occurs you enter a null zone in which your old reality no longer exists, or has changed radically, while your new reality has not yet come into existence.
Due to the fact you have entered an even more intense phase of the Chaotic Node, we wish to share with you our views regarding transition states, in the hopes you will be able to utilize this knowledge for your own benefit.
For our purposes, we can divide transition states into three primary categories: 1) personal transition states, 2) collective transition states and 3) physical death.
Personal Transition States
Let us turn our attention to personal transition states first, because your personal perception is the pivotal point around which your perceived reality operates.
Your perception of reality is fundamentally a personal creation. It is influenced by the collective perception of your culture, time, place and circumstance, but fundamentally your perception of what is real and not real is a creation—your creation.
Your perception of reality depends upon habits of perception, if you are like most persons. You are used to experiencing certain realities in your life and these tell you where you are, so to speak. You wake up in the morning and you look to the clock and the collective perception of time is immediately before you. Your choice to engage this illusion, or not, is a personal one. Indeed, one of the signs of spiritual mastery is the ability to navigate cultural illusions successfully while clearly understanding their nature.
When a situation in your personal life shifts dramatically, there is a tendency for the perceptual markers to disappear or re-organize themselves.
Let us present one possible scenario. If you have worked at the same job for many years you have built your life around the demands of this position. You eat lunch at a certain time. You return home at a certain time. You interact with others in specific ways, tailored to fit the demands of your job.
If that job were suddenly removed, unexpectedly, those perceptual markers would disappear. There would be no need to get up at a certain time, eat at a certain time, return home at a certain time, and the people you interacted with for the bulk of your waking hours would no longer be available to you.
This situation is inherently disorienting for most people. Again, the perceptual markers have disappeared.
The same phenomenon occurs when any radical shift in your personal life takes place. If a relationship which is important to you suddenly ends, then the perceptual markers of that relationship disappear, and you enter the transition state of consciousness.
If you have a health crisis and your physical life is affected in radical ways, the perceptual markers disappear, and this can be disorienting. You have entered a transition state of consciousness.
As the Chaotic Node increases in intensity, more and more persons will experience the shock waves of their old reality crumbling before them. What was certain in their lives is now uncertain. What was solid ground is seen to be no longer solid. We mean this both figuratively and literally.
There is another wave of transition states that is emerging from this Chaotic Node. It is already affecting many persons, but its affects will spread out in consciousness much like a tsunami.
This particular transition state has to do with the collapse of the collective lies within your culture. Increasingly, more and more of you will see behind the shadow play; you will sense the puppet masters, and although their identities may elude you, you will see with increasing reality that aspects of your culture are a manipulation, a limitation, and in many cases, downright lies.
The lie we are speaking to here is not the lie of economics, the lie of wars, or the lie of confining religions, but the lie of your identity—a lie that ensures your imprisonment. This lie is the belief and cultural assertion that you are nothing more than a physical human being and that there are, in fact, no other realms of being beyond your earthly experience.
The recognition of this lie is a harbinger of personal freedom, but in its beginning stages it can be quite disorienting. This is because multidimensional experiences are so different from your earthly day-to-day experiences. If you find yourself marooned between your earthly and multidimensional life, you have entered a transition state of consciousness.
Our purpose in sharing this information is to suggest a practical course of action during transition states of consciousness.
When you personally enter a powerful transition state you might, like many human beings, remain stuck in overwhelm. Many individuals find the shock of realizing that their perceptual markers have disappeared, along with the reality that they assumed to be real, deeply disturbing.
Due to the fact time is accelerating—and by this we mean more events taking place in less time—remaining in a state of shock or overwhelm is a psychological indulgence which you cannot afford. The essential point we wish to convey here is regardless of the nature of the transition state, whether it is personal in nature having to do with changes in your personal life, or due to recognizing your cultural manipulation—you are the creator of your reality.
You may have stories to explain why suddenly your life is bereft, but these are just stories. You may blame other persons, situations, or institutions for your problem, but this is misplaced responsibility. Your stories may be true and there may be other persons, situations or institutions to blame, but when you have entered a transition state of consciousness, you are at the central vortex of a powerful creative process. There is no reason or need to cry over “spilt milk” as one of your folk sayings goes. What is lost is lost. What is gone is gone.
Now the central question becomes, “What will you do?”
Will you remain stunned, in shock, in overwhelm, anger and sadness? Or will you step into your identity as a creator of your life?
To those of you who choose to remain in lower states of consciousness [in shock, in overwhelm, anger, sadness, blaming], we have no comment.
Our comments are for those of you courageous enough and bold enough to step into your identity as creators. If you are one of these, here is what we suggest.
When everything disappears, meaning the perceptual markers of your former reality [are gone], understand that you have entered into a void point... you are in a transition state of consciousness.
A void point is a critical transition between an old reality and a new one. That which was, has ended. Instead of regretting the loss, you accept the void. This is, for many persons, a challenging undertaking, because in the void point there is nothing that can be done. You must simply be a witness to it, and to yourself, for in this no-man’s land there are no perceptual markers.
Be careful what new markers you put into place, for these ideas and beliefs will be the stars in the new sky of your mind, and you shall navigate your way into these new times by the stars (thoughts and beliefs) that you have placed in the heavens of your own consciousness. So be wise when you go about creating new stars, our fellow navigators of the Mystery.
Collective Transition States of Consciousness
The human collective, from our perspective, is currently like an immense cosmic serpent shedding its old skin, writhing and twisting, scraping off old encumbrances. Some of these take the form of economic turmoil. Some of them are political in nature. Some of them are the collapse and transformation of cultural institutions [lies and manipulations]. And some of these writhings and twistings are related to earthquake and volcanic activity, as well as aberrant weather patterns.
As natural and manmade disasters increase, more and more of you will find yourselves entering transition states of consciousness. Obviously those who experience an earthquake, volcano or destructive weather directly are the most prone to enter transition states, but those of you who are empathic in nature can experience the brunt of a natural or manmade disaster as if you were physically present.
Indeed as The Veil that separates human consciousnesses from one another continues to dissolve, more and more of you will experience the changes taking place in the world at a visceral level.
We now wish to address the question of a new creation for those of you who may find yourself in the aftermath of a natural or manmade disaster, such as a natural earthquake, a volcanic eruption, destructive weather patterns, [or manmade economic, political or cultural turmoil].
If the destructive force is strong enough, the perceptual markers of your former reality may no longer exist. Your home or place of business may no longer be there. You may find yourself dealing with shortages of food and water, and there are any number of variables that can come together to create a state of shock and overwhelm.
We wish to be very clear in what we are about to say. Shock and overwhelm in the face of disasters are a natural mammalian response, and if you are to transcend and transform, [then this is] the moment you must reach upward to higher dimensions of your own existence, your own Being, to those realms of consciousness that are beyond time and space.
To the extent you are able to incorporate the transcendent aspects of your Being as part of the equation for your survival, you will be able to mitigate the shock and overwhelm.
The central feature that needs to be identified in the midst of chaos, any form of chaos, is the portal of opportunity.
This opportunity for survival OR for a new life may present itself in ways you do not expect. This is because the perceptual markers are no longer in place, and your consciousness may not recognize an opportunity when it presents itself.
There is a deep-seated human habit, or tendency, that wishes to conform new realities to those of the past. This would be an unfortunate habit to engage in these situations.
There is much we could say about the hyper-dimensional realities involved in choice making during chaotic events, but we wish to “cut to the chase” and give that which will be most practical. Perhaps some other time we can share with you our philosophical musings about your infinite nature and the infinite possibilities that reside within you. However, for now, let us be a little simplistic and give you a formula to recognize and create opportunities for new life and a new destiny when they present themselves to you.
Assuming you have entered a transition state of consciousness AND you have befriended the void point and are more or less comfortable with the great uncertainty of your situation, then this is what we suggest.
Be curious and expect miracles.
By entering a state of curiosity, you engage an aspect of your mind that is free to move unfettered by expectation. It becomes very much like the mind of a child, and it is this innocence—which is not the same as childishness—that allows you to enter a vibratory state of consciousness, which greatly benefits you.
By holding the expectation of miracles, you release the power of creation within you, and to the extent that you accomplish this you will find increasing incidences of serendipity, coincidences of benefit, and unexpected treasures-- whether they be physical in nature, or mental and emotional.
This combination of curiosity about what will happen next joined with an expectation of miracles will move you rapidly from the void point to a new life, a new creation, regardless of what might be happening for those around you.
During collective transition states of consciousness, it is helpful to remember each person is the creator of his or her own reality, and in the midst of chaos, people will make different choices and enter different personal realities.
Do not be swayed by those who enter lower vibratory realms [in shock, in overwhelm, anger, sadness, blaming]. You cannot save them from themselves. Look upward and live upward with curiosity and an expectation of miracles, and even in the gravest of situations miracles can, and will, occur for you!
Physical Death
One of the greatest difficulties for embodied Beings is the transition state of consciousness you call death. This is due to the fact all perceptual markers, including the five senses, disappear. If a person identifies solely with his/her material existence, he or she will find this transition state to be most difficult. This is because what she or he identified with no longer exists.
Although the physical world continues on, there is no input into consciousness from the five senses. It is as if the world has vanished and the body along with it. The great I AM, the central feature of transcendent consciousness, no longer receives information from the body, the five senses, or the external world. This can be deeply disturbing and disorienting for someone who has not directly experienced the other realms of his or her Being.
Metaphorically speaking, you are like a vast tree, a Tree of Life, with many branches and many, many leaves and blossoms, and your current physical existence is just ONE of these leaves and ONE of these blossoms.
When a person passes through the transition state of consciousness you call death, there are several options. If you are in a spiritual tradition the central figure of which is a guru, avatar or savior, you can follow the path of this Being into the vibratory realm of his/her consciousness. In some religions, this is known as heaven.
If you follow the path of a guru, avatar or savior, then understand you are entering into his/her heaven, her/his vibratory attainment, and by necessity you enter also into his/her limitations in consciousness.
From our perspective, the universe is infinite in nature, and by this we refer not to external space but to the interdimensional realities of your universe, and there is NO single Being in existence, from our experience, who understands and embraces ALL THAT IS.
If, however, you wish to join your guru/avatar/savior in the death realms we have a few suggestions. One is to mentally call upon his/her name. This is an ancient understanding encapsulated in the Egyptian term Ren, meaning name. When you call upon the name of a spiritual being, then an aspect of him/her is compelled to move toward you.
If, in that moment of encountering your guru/avatar/savior, he or she deems you worthy, you will be taken by him/her into his/her heavenly realm.
For those of you in eastern spiritual traditions, then there are mantras connected with specified deities. Chanting these mantras mentally during death, or in the death realms, has the same effect.
For those of you who are not part of a spiritual tradition that follows a guru, avatar or savior, then the transition state of consciousness called death offers other possibilities.
As with the other two transition states of consciousness, the death realm has a void point, and its dominant features are stillness (silence) and darkness. All possibilities exist within the Void, but no actuality is in existence [it simply waits for YOU to create your reality]. It is like the acorn of an oak tree. The oak, the giant tree itself, is potentially within the acorn, but it does not yet exist.
So when you find yourself in the Void, which you will recognize by the fact you are utterly alone in darkness and utter stillness, know that YOU ARE IN the central nexus of your creative powers.
What you choose to create next will determine the course of your destiny and what worlds you will inhabit or realms of existence you will reside in. This is a critical juncture.
Many persons frightened by the darkness move to the light prematurely. And what they do not realize is that in their yearning they create the light. A portal opens before them, like a tunnel, and they can move into this tunnel of light, encountering those they have known before, thereby entering back into embodiment or other vibratory realms of existence without having fully understood the consequences. This is certainly one option open to you, and one that is often taken.
Another option, however, is to remain at the void point, residing in the Void itself, becoming aware of your Self as pure consciousness—transcendent to all phenomena.
If you reside in this state of awareness long enough WITHOUT THE NEED to create something, you will discover your identity as the great I AM. And from this point of awareness, you can choose the circumstances of your embodiment. You can choose the worlds you will inhabit or the realms of consciousness where you will reside.
This latter method gives you the greatest opportunities, though it is the most difficult for most people. And the reason for this difficulty has to do with the fact most humans find it uncomfortable to not have a body. The yearning for a body and the experience of the material world often draws a person from The Void prematurely.
In summation, due to the intensifying phases of the Chaotic Node, many of you will find yourselves in transitional states of consciousness. Regardless of what level you find yourself engaged in, whether it be your personal life, the collective experience, or the transition state you call death, know YOU are the creator of your reality.
The Hathors
April 20, 2011
Tom's Thoughts and Observations
I personally find this message to be stunningly eloquent and a vast storehouse of information. I have read and re-read this message several times, and each time I discover something new. There is, indeed, much to be read between the lines in this communication.
I especially liked the Hathors’ statement…
“Be careful what new (perceptual) markers you put into place, for these ideas and beliefs will be the stars in the new sky of your mind, and you shall navigate your way into these new times by the stars (thoughts and beliefs) that you have placed in the heavens of your own consciousness. So be wise when you go about creating new stars, our fellow navigators of the mystery.”
At the level of our collective mind, I think our mythic realities are changing. The old stars, those thoughts, beliefs and presuppositions about reality that have guided us as a culture for millennia seem now to be dimming, not to mention that they have led us in directions many of us no longer wish to go.
The collective ship of our culture seems to be plying through the waters of the Great Mystery with little regard for the sacredness of this planet or life upon it. But even as our collective vessel sails through the Great Mystery, seemingly without awareness, it (the ship) and we owe our very existence to the Mystery itself. This very odd duality seems, to me, either amusing or tragic, depending upon what mood I am in, and how connected I am or disconnected I have become from the Mystery itself.
One of the ironies of our situation is that the crew of this vessel, those who make it sail, through an investment of their life-force, creativity and, in some cases, blood sweat and tears, are no less than you and me, and all the other nearly seven billion humans alive on this exquisite planet. We are—all of us—crewing this vessel, regardless of our personal situation, our life station or our beliefs.
There are those in the New Age community who say, and have been saying for years now, that we are near Unity, and that the Golden Age is just around the corner. I do not share this perception.
We are all in the same boat together, whether we like it or not, and it seems to me that our crew is polarized. There are many who insist that the paradigms of greed, arrogance and usurpation are the true reference points for our sextants.
Others of us, however, are sensing that we are headed in the wrong direction—that we can no longer ravage this planet and its life (both human and other-than-human). For us, there are new stars in the sky of our minds. And we are setting our sextants clearly upon these cosmic beacons.
How it will all turn out is anybody’s guess. But I am encouraged by a silent mutiny I see happening all around me.
Many of us crew members, and I suspect that if you have read this far you may be one of them, are silently taking action to turn our collective vessel (i.e. our cultural madness) around or at least slow it down.
Some of us are pulling out our sextants and are pointing out new stars to those around us. We do this by living the change we wish to see. We do this by having the courage to live by a new Earth-reality that we sense is possible. We do this by extending kindness to each other.
And when necessary, we do this by standing our ground. I am reminded in this of a grass roots movement in some of the world’s poorest countries to preserve the use of non-hybrid seeds—seeds that produce new seeds when crops are harvested—rather than succumb to international economic interests that would enslave the poorest of the Earth to buy new seeds whenever they wish to feed themselves and their families.
As I write this, I am nearly weeping at their courage to stand up against the Titans that have set the course for our collective vessel through greed, arrogance and an utter disregard for the sanctity of life.
As difficult and as challenging as these times are both for individuals and the collective, I think there is hope in the uncertainty that we are facing. I say this because the human spirit has sometimes risen to heights when faced with dire uncertain times.
If the Hathors are correct, all of us will face numerous transition states of consciousness before our time on Earth has ended. The perceptual markers of our old reality are being displaced. How we deal with the loss of our perceived reality and the old world will determine the next cycle of Earthly existence for humanity.
And for us individually, what we choose to create in the transition states of our lives will determine the realms of consciousness that are opened to us.
I wish you, my fellow crew members and those whom you love, safe passage through these turbulent times. But regardless of what happens, regardless of where and in what situations we find ourselves upon this perilous journey, let us remember that we are—above all else—creators of our own reality.
There are new stars in the sky and new worlds to discover. Be bold. And have a good journey.

Man-made Religion and God-made Spirituality: What's the Difference?
Dare I swim into these ever-so sensitive waters of religion? As the Light continues to envelope beautiful Gaia and Her inhabitants manifesting our Ascension and shedding Light on every corner and crevice leaving nothing in the dark (especially our own shadow selves), the time has come to have a better understanding about religion and its contributions to our world.
People have spent their entire lives dedicated to "God" --millions of people actually giving their life; Others giving their choice of celibacy, or their money, food and time crusading, evangelizing and in missionaries throughout the world... generation after generation; From Christians and Mormons to Buddhists and Tibetan monks to Middle Eastern and Muslim extremists to Orthodox Jews and every religion betwixt. Over thousands of years, man-made religion after man-made religion people sacrificed their ideas, behaviors and ways of life that which their religion taught them was the way to redemption. And to ALL OF YOU throughout history, I declare "Bravissimo, for upholding your ideals and for living a life which (I hope) brought you peace of mind and joy in your heart."
Yet, before we continue let's be VERY CLEAR: "Religion" was created by man-- conceived, drafted and hand-written, literally, by man. Man lives in this world of duality. He lives amongst good v. evil, Heaven & hell, right and wrong, black & white. He lives in a world where he can be influenced, deceived, bribed, and coerced. He lives in world where he's still operating by his ego, and without proper guidance and protection, his mind leads the way instead of his heart. Religion --not God-- brought countless wars killing millions of people (claiming to be "in the name of God"), and those wars are still being fought today STILL SENDING HOME DEAD LIFELESS BODIES to their mourning families.
Being raised Roman Catholic and having all of my family still strongly Christian, this next part is hard for me to say, yet needs to be said in order to increase awareness. Do you remember the "telephone" game we played in school or at parties, where the first kid makes a statement to the one sitting next to her in a circle, and by the time the statement returns to the original kid (some-20 kids later), the statement has changed so drastically that it is unrecognizable by the 1st kid who started the game and gave the original statement? Similarly, the Bible, Quran, and Tanach (and all written scripture past down over the centuries) also written by fallible influenceable man was modified by every culture, by every generation, by every religion, by every publisher ...the Tanach, Quran and Bible too are drastically NOT THE SAME as first written millenia ago (2000+ years-- much much more than a mere 20 kids). Connecting with Christ Jesus intimately and personally as an intuitive, He shared with me and numerous LightWorkers currently working within the Golden White Light of Christ's Consciousness that His message then is not that taught by modern Christianity today.
On the contrary, Spirit or spirituality was designed and CREATED by God... without written rules to be edited and manipulated, without limits and boundaries, without segregation, without prejudice. Spirituality is something we possess WITHIN US-- we feel it. When we are aligned with God, WE LIVE IT. Spirit, our inherent God-given Divinity, CANNOT be coerced, CANNOT be deceived, CANNOT be compromised ...when our talk is in alignment with our walk ...when our mind is in alignment with our heart ...when our lower self is in alignment with our Highest Self! When living with integrity, our own Spirituality is available to ALL PEOPLE regardless of your religion, or lack thereof!
In fact, God doesn't mind WHAT religion you are. You can be Catholic, Baptist, Lutheran, Jehovah's Witness, Krishna, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Kwanzaan, Hinduist, Indigenous, Bahá'íst, Zoroastrianist, Atheist, Agnostic, Pagan, Sikhist, Taoist, Confucianist, Jainist, Spiritist etc. You can be ANY religion you desire and STILL discover and manifest God's greatest gift for all people: Your return back to God... your Ascension. Based upon the old adage: If you love someone, then set them free. If they come back, you were always meant to be... true love for all eternity (poet, didn't know it... teeheehee). As is with God: He sent us free (will), and it's our job to live a life to honor Ourself (and in doing so honoring God) and return eternally --without the necessity of incarnating again in physical form to learn more life lessons and repay karma on planet earth.
Virginia Essene and Sheldan Nidle wrote a book entitled, You Are Becoming a Galactic Human (Santa Clara, California: S.E.E. Publishing, 1994), which has a wonderful format within each chapter. The first part of a chapter is written by them, and the second part is a dialogue between Virginia and Washta, Sheldan's Spirit Guide who speaks through Sheldan's voice. One question Virginia asks is quite apropos for this blog entry. Please let me share it to increase awareness, for all of us to get a bigger picture of our future role as guardians of Gaia, and to better understand "religion" and "churches" from God's perspective --not from man's perspective. Virginia asks Washta, "Could you comment on churches? Many church [-going] people would say... they are spiritual, they serve, and they are liaison to the world in spiritual matters and through good works. So how do you see that a church person who belongs to one of the usual temples, churches or organizations is different than a planetary advocate [or different than a LightWorker living in integrity]?"
the following from You Are Becoming a Galactic Human (pgs. 198-200):
What we would say to those in the churches is that the clue to this whole process is the energy of love. If they are truly coming from the aspect of love and not just doing service to make a good appearance, then they can be a prototype for a true [planetary] advocate group. If their core is not based upon this pure spiritual and loving energy, however, they cannot perceive Earth's needy situation in a totally non-dogmatic, non-judgmental and open way, then they are involved in a dogma and are limiting their purposes. Religion is not meant to ignore present circumstances or prohibit change. It must be a helpmate for all times and all experiences, allowing an ever-increasing consciousness [and awareness]. In or out of churches, humanity is challenged to understand [outer] space and your upcoming role as a civilization of galactic humans.
For example, one group may proclaim itself to be a top environmental group, but it is only going through the motions. Whereas another group is a genuine environmental group because it is committed to the true energies of the spirit in an open, non-dogmatic way. Those humans who are willing to accept everyone's part in this mission of becoming galactic humans [and NOT judge others for their beliefs] are truly planetary advocates.
Many churches are now beginning to understand they must address modern circumstances and expand their energy patterns so they move out of their old dogma and into a more open Light. Those who do so are prime resources in the transformation your planet will experience and they are, or can choose to become, the advocates we describe.
Virginia: Yes, thank you. Then how important is it that people believe in extraterrestrials and understand the cosmic roots of humanity in order to serve as planetary advocates, whether they are in a church or not?
Washta: We would hope that you can understand how the true spiritual concepts of all religions and the seeding of all Earth humans, are dependent on the great cooperation between the Galactic Federation and the Spiritual Hierarchies that make up all creation. We would hope that you comprehend and believe in this cooperative endeavor. However, if you wish to maintain yourselves as part of a spiritual group only (and not believe in extraterrestrials), then we would ask that you listen to the energies of the Spiritual Hierarchies themselves [without listening to those of the Galactic Federation at this time]. These various angels, archangels and ascended masters [of this galaxy's Spiritual Hierarchy] will be leading spiritual groups toward unifying with planetary advocate groups. This is the purpose of allowing your spiritual groups (that are already One with the Spiritual Hierarchy) to become amalgamated with those planetary advocate groups that have been created in service to the Galactic Federation's great mission. Both spirit and matter work hand in hand. In this combination, lies an exciting future for yourselves and planet Earth if you can but understand [let go of your pre-conceived notions] and welcome the opportunity [to Ascend].
Dare I swim into these ever-so sensitive waters of religion? As a LightWorker honoring my inherent God-given Divinity and Spirituality standing in my own Light to be seen by all... yes, I must. Raising awareness is one goal of a LightWorker.
People have spent their entire lives dedicated to "God" --millions of people actually giving their life; Others giving their choice of celibacy, or their money, food and time crusading, evangelizing and in missionaries throughout the world... generation after generation; From Christians and Mormons to Buddhists and Tibetan monks to Middle Eastern and Muslim extremists to Orthodox Jews and every religion betwixt. Over thousands of years, man-made religion after man-made religion people sacrificed their ideas, behaviors and ways of life that which their religion taught them was the way to redemption. And to ALL OF YOU throughout history, I declare "Bravissimo, for upholding your ideals and for living a life which (I hope) brought you peace of mind and joy in your heart."
Yet, before we continue let's be VERY CLEAR: "Religion" was created by man-- conceived, drafted and hand-written, literally, by man. Man lives in this world of duality. He lives amongst good v. evil, Heaven & hell, right and wrong, black & white. He lives in a world where he can be influenced, deceived, bribed, and coerced. He lives in world where he's still operating by his ego, and without proper guidance and protection, his mind leads the way instead of his heart. Religion --not God-- brought countless wars killing millions of people (claiming to be "in the name of God"), and those wars are still being fought today STILL SENDING HOME DEAD LIFELESS BODIES to their mourning families.
Being raised Roman Catholic and having all of my family still strongly Christian, this next part is hard for me to say, yet needs to be said in order to increase awareness. Do you remember the "telephone" game we played in school or at parties, where the first kid makes a statement to the one sitting next to her in a circle, and by the time the statement returns to the original kid (some-20 kids later), the statement has changed so drastically that it is unrecognizable by the 1st kid who started the game and gave the original statement? Similarly, the Bible, Quran, and Tanach (and all written scripture past down over the centuries) also written by fallible influenceable man was modified by every culture, by every generation, by every religion, by every publisher ...the Tanach, Quran and Bible too are drastically NOT THE SAME as first written millenia ago (2000+ years-- much much more than a mere 20 kids).
