We are all growing together

Last week I featured a guest post on this page, which created a storm of differing opinions. Here's what I know for sure: we cannot force anyone to change or grow, nor should we. Nor can anyone force us to change or grow!

Something I have always been averse to with this whole 'ascension' topic (a word I don't really use a lot), is this notion that a certain group of people at a certain level of growth are all the same, and different in every way to another group of people at another level of growth. Or that a group of people are suddenly all going to be lifted up into paradise and into a new earth that is perfect overnight leaving the rest behind to smoulder. This just isn't true, and I should add, doesn't feel true for me. Look, I might be wrong and if I am I am, but I can only write as I've always seen it and felt it personally.

More true, I feel, is that there are different levels of every aspect of consciousness and awareness co-existing within us all simultaneously. As an example, last week I opened up to a whole new level of clean eating, meanwhile thousands of people have been eating like this for years. I have gone countless times with my sister to the markets while she buys her coconut oil and chia seeds, but had no urge to follow suit. I have loved my carbs, even though I kept getting strong nudges to reduce or even stop them altogether for a while.

A series of very clear intuitive messages and validation with a blood test told me that my immune system needed attention asap. At the same time, three times that week I had seen an article in three different places talking about a recent scientific study that has shown that a 3 day water fast* re-sets your immune system. I needed no more prompting....I started it immediately the very next day....last Wed, Thurs and Fri, hence I have been quiet on here of late.

It has changed me, and I can feel it still changing me. (Last night I was seeing fluorescent lines and swirls along with a shimmering in our bedroom doorway, and yes I have resumed eating...mainly vegies and protein for now). I have HAD to upgrade my clean eating to a level that I just didn't feel I wanted or needed previously, and now I find myself standing in a field where there are thousands of people saying "Welcome, where have you been?!"

Meanwhile those same people might be opening up to new fields in other areas that they haven't previously felt called to visit be it a higher intuition or shadow governments or love or a million other possible topics and life areas.

So you might be standing in front of a loved one, shouting at them about this book or that lifestyle choice or that healing process: but they will not be able to hear you until they are ready. I was not ready for this style of eating before, but my future self pulled me up and clearly put me on a new train track for my own good, and I am grateful. Now that I am ready I can't get enough info and I am loving every moment of this new path!!

So really it is like we are standing in this giant circle that is made up of many circles. And we are really expert at some of those: if you want to know about energy and consciousness, come sit in my circle. Yet if I want to know a bit more about growing my own vegies or how to build a woodfire oven, I will go over and open to someone else's circle and learn from them.

We are headed in the right direction with our evolution, because these types of circles are expanding. Years ago they were very small with few people, but now there are millions gathering in each healthy lifestyle, socially/politically/environmentally/spiritually/etc awake and aware circle. That is a sign of our collective growth. That is a sign that we are collectively evolving. The circles are growing in size by the day.

It is not like school where you learned very specific topics on each level and so by the end everyone was roughly at the same level of knowledge. I can tell you what is going on with your energy field without even seeing you, but I don't know if I could light a fire with no matches or lighter and I would really like to know how to do that. Many people want to ascend...I want to descend! I arrived here connected to the universe....I want to connect with Mama Earth now.

Our next level of evolution I feel, is to embody a higher level of consciousness and awareness right here on Earth in our physical bodies, and incorporating that (eventually) into every system and structure on the planet. This is happening. It will happen on a grand scale. I wish it was going faster, but I am so happy to see and feel it is happening faster now than ever.

What are your thoughts? xx

 

* A water fast is not to be taken lightly, and is an extreme practice.  Please know the state of your health prior to attempting, and inform yourself on proper, safe fasting methods, including easeful entry and exit in and out of fast periods. Seek a qualified health practitioner's guidance if needed.

 

 

Guest Post: No more ladder camping

Sometimes I get a comment that really should be a blog piece all of its own! The following is one such comment, copied here as a Guest Post with permission from the author Cathy. It is a no-holding back, tell it like it is clear perspective related to the post Hi to higher vibrations, and bye bye bridge. There is a lot of interesting food for thought here:

Dana, I'm glad you have sensed this and put out this message. Here's what I have come to know about this over the years.

In the last several years there were more people "on path" than there were "completed" / ascension-ready.

4D is a transition zone, literally a ladder between the levels of 3D and 5D. Odd numbered dimensions are dwelling areas while even numbered are transition zones.

Unfortunately many people got into 4 D levels and decided to camp out there, literally attempting to turn ladder rungs into dwelling places. That was not meant to be and yet there were so many for so long just stopped that in early 2012 a 4D hologram was starting to form. But it was not sustainable and is not truly ascension, so in September of 2014 that got overruled / cancelled /stopped. Since then it is very much indeed all or nothing - either finish ALL of your healing work and truly, fully complete or stay in 3D. No more ladder camping. That was all rather half-*ssed and is still clinging to 3D and limit.

And the result? You said it yourself - stagnation. For EVERYONE. Not just for people camping in 4D but also for those who were ascension-ready and for Gaia and even for those who will continue their growth and evolution work in 3D, for even the 3D timeline has been held up, not allowed to move forward. Very often those who were ascension-ready were holding off the destructive 3D timeline so that all the ascension work done by individuals and Gaia would not be wasted. It was very exhausting and all were still in 3D physical vessels, which can only take so much. The ladder rung dwellers have been a real wrench in the works of this planetary ascension and have literally put the ascension of Gaia at risk with their lack of urgency.

This 'tweener level of people would look at most of the people in the world and see they were not as bad off and mistook / mistake this for being "done". This is not a race but it IS a competition, which, unbeknownst to many, literally means "aim together". And THE absolute BEST way to help this ascension effort is TO DO YOUR OWN INNER HEALING WORK! 

As Marianne Williamson said, you are NOT helping others by playing small yourself. It doesn't matter if anyone else "sees" the results of your inner work, it's about having the sheer guts to do it. It's not about what you do "out there" but what you are doing "in here".

Many who tend to drag their heels have only moved forward when pushed energetically, yes, by solar activity or astrological / cosmic alignments etc., like they need a constant cattle prod or they're not budging. As soon as the peak of such energies fade, then these people let themselves get lulled back into lollygagging again. Folks, this has got to stop. It's long overdue to take the bull by the horns and PROACTIVELY, very INTENTIONALLY commit to your healing work.

Yes Dana, as you say, there is a spiral affect, yes there are active times and times to rest and gather energy for the next push, but one could stand to take some initiative and not wait for someone or something else to push at their backs in order to keep moving forward. ASK for it, then don't resist the work when it is presented.

If you TRULY want to ascend IN FULL to 5D (nothing short of that IS ascension) you all have got to get with it pronto. Yes it very much IS all or nothing. Be wholehearted about it. It's long past time to quit horsing around.

2 things required for ascension

1. Release what is not you.
2. Embrace was IS truly you.

Let me rephrase –

1. Release all disempowering programs, limits, wounds, fears, ego issues, materialism.

2. Connect to your Higher / Divine self and follow its guidance. (Quit dismissing your intuition, no matter how much it beats against the world "out there".)

For anyone still asking "When is Ascension going to happen?"

The Video Version with Commentary is here 

This question came in from Richard* (name changed) about 'ascension'. I'm sharing it here for anyone who has the same concerns. 

QUESTION:

I have been reading several ascension blogs. Most of them have info that humanity would ascend on 21 DEC 2012 and since then the dates simply kept on changing and even the so called channeled info from higher dimensional beings and ascended masters is wrong so many times.

Just don't know what to believe anymore and like so many other readers and followers I am more than frustrated to just keep waiting for a date and when nothing happens then conveniently some new date comes up and this has been going on for so long. So my question is if we are going to ascend at all then when do you think its gonna happen? If it is so difficult to give a date then is it possible to atleast give a time frame? So many people who are working as channelers and light workers, how hard can it be to just get a date?

REPLY:

From my perspective, and what I've been saying in my writings for over 10 years, is that 21 Dec 2012 is the end of an evolutionary cycle, and then a new evolutionary cycle started. According to many indigenous cultures, particularly the Mayans, we have just completed a great cycle of approx. 25000 years and also a grand cycle of approx. 125000 years made up of 5 great cycles. 

The way that I have always seen it is, Earth at this time has entered, and is moving deeper into right now, a place in space where she is essentially being flooded by high vibrational energy waves, of a higher frequency than those waves that we were exposed to in our last cycle. From what I have received and seen and felt, these waves are coming to us from the galactic centre, while Earth is moving across the Galactic equator, thus offering us a very rare window of alignment with that central energy - although that could just be one part of a much larger picture. The messages I've received indicate that the waves are also coming to us from the centre through the sun, and thus we are so much more sensitive these days to relatively 'common' solar activity events such as the solar flares.

The general message that has come through me, over and over again, is that Earth and all on her are shifting into this higher frequency energy, and everything that is not in alignment with that (whether within us, in our personal lives, in our society, corporations, goverments, media etc) will go through a process of collapse or transformation.  We can see that happening now. As we shift into this higher frequency, we are experiencing the awakening of more of our greater/star/collective memory, opening up to our innate gifts, becoming more conscious and seeking to embody and express that consciousness in every way and in every area of life. Again, we are seeing that now in more and more people.

I have spent time with both Mayan and Native American elders, and they all have confirmed that they too see the Shift in a similar way to the above. I don't resonate with the 'Ascension' theory that all the 'awake' people will be beamed up somewhere.  We are shifting 'upward' yes, but we are shifting in vibration, in our body, here on Earth.  I also never resonated with the idea being sprouted out there that we'd all magically 'ascend' on one day. If you know anything of astrology, transits of slow moving planets can affect us over a period of months or years, not just on one day - so times that by 1000 for an evolutionary cycle gear-shift - The Shift is a process, and we are in it right now. And for sure, it has shifted gears since 'that date'.

Dec 21 2012, aside from being the end date of a cycle, was something I always saw as a crossroads of sorts, a deadline by which we really had to decide, as a collective, whether we would shift up or shift out. Really, those were the choices - shift up with the Earth as she moved into the higher vibration (ie wake up, and act on our consciousness) or shift out - game over for humanity. We have been called to change our ways, and through the massive numbers we are seeing this year alone signing online petitions and marching in street protests against governments etc, I believe we are hearing that call. Interestingly enough the ancients referred to the point in space that Earth is moving through now, a point they knew she moved through at each change of cycle period, as a crossroads.

Yes it's an anti-climax for anyone expecting a literal light to come out of the sky or the spaceships to finally land. Life is a mystery, and to be honest no-one knows if any of those things will happen one day! But there is no 'waiting' for another date. We are here, we have gone through labour, the birth as such is happening now, and now we have to work with the energies of a newborn at the same time as many are struggling to let go of their old roles and ways of being which no longer fit or work. In many other ways, it is climax after climax on a weekly (and sometimes daily) basis if we are to look at the awakening going on right now, the physical ways in which it is manifesting in our society, and the way in which we can literally feel, and are being affected by, the higher energies now present here and continually increasing to flood the planet.  Many are also experiencing a 'post-natal' depression of sorts - their old roles are over, the 'date' which many had focused on for so long has come and gone, and now we are left with ...what exactly?

We are now left with the reality that we are responsible for our reality here. We decide how this story unfolds. We choose what this next chapter will look like. We are finally being offered all the resources and tools we need to create a new type of Earth with a new type of Humanity. We are being offered the gifts of awakening, consciousness and greater awareness as to who we really are and what we are here to do. A small group of people have been open to those gifts thus far, but now it is happening to millions and millions of people.  These gifts are not here so that we can meditate longer, they are here so that we can embody them and use them.  Action without consciousness has led us to a fragile crossroads. Consciousness without action will leave us frustrated and feeling disempowered. It is the combination of consciousness and action that are the markers of this new time - action meaning anything you choose to consciously do to embody who you truly are. Focused Visualisation or Prayer can be an active expression of consciousness - action doesn't mean we all need to be on the streets protesting.

On a final note, the word "Apocalypse" so much associated with these times, comes from the Greek and Latin word meaning 'lifting of the veil', 'that which was hidden to be revealed'. We are seeing this now constantly within us, and in our outer world. What we are seeing isn't always easy - in fact it can be challenging, uncomfortable and downright shocking and disturbing. Yet the 'revelations' part of this process is essential, empowering and liberating. We are being roused out of our slumber, and confronting that which has held us back and limited us, both personally and as a humanity. 

Much love,

Dana
