July 2012 Monthly Visions: The Deconstruction of Who we thought Ourselves to be


July 2012 Monthly Visions: The Deconstruction of Who we thought Ourselves to be

We are currently experiencing the complete deconstruction of who we thought ourselves to be, and the process can feel extremely disorienting even to those who are used to the ongoing shifts within this Great Shift.  A lot of our memories are being wiped from our spheres of conscious awareness and subconscious, specifically memories that are no longer serving us, including many cellular memories that have been held by our physical bodies and many soul memories that have been held by our energetic bodies. These old memories have influenced and thus participated in the creation of our day to day, life to life, realities. The memories are being removed because they have served their purpose, and would be more of a hindrance than a help in our new reality chapters and new reality creation processes. It’s kind of like upgrading to new computer software – the previous version helps to create the new version, but once the new version is ready to go you don’t need to keep the old version on your computer.  You can still of course access any memory any time if you really want to, but they will now more exist in the cosmic storage central library as opposed to your home study.
            Ironically this ‘memory wipe’ of no longer relevant memories is happening as we’re seemingly opening up to more and more of our galactic and authentic self memory. We use the word ‘seemingly’ because technically it is not our memory that is returning, rather it is our awareness that is expanding as we enter higher frequency energy allowing us to access higher states of consciousness that contain information and knowledge we haven’t had access to for a long time. This increase in awareness is of course expanding our previously conceived notions of who we really are and thus contributing to the deconstruction process of who we thought ourselves to be.
            This memory wipe also applies to recent memories (as recent as minutes or hours ago) that have no benefit in staying with us. You may be finding it harder and harder to have any tangible hold on what you used to call ‘the past’. More and more it feels like a dream, some of which you can remember clearly, some of which you can’t remember at all or have to focus really hard to recall.  You may have no recollection of conversations that others insist took place. No, you aren’t going crazy. It is just that our minds are choosing to hold on to less and less these days, particularly that which isn’t relevant to our immediate present. Essentially, that’s what happening – we are moving into the much talked about time of living in the Now. By its very definition Now means no sense of ‘Past’ or ‘Future’ and so this wiping of the memories is an integral part of our arrival into Living in the Now time.
            We assumed that living in the Now meant living in a very calm and blissful state, and it does mean that – but until we get used to it it’s a bit like living without a watch after a lifetime of having one attached to your wrist. You don’t have your usual point of reference to anchor you. We are connecting to a new point of reference, an inner point. Until we get used to that, it can sometimes feel like we’re floating in a bubble not attached to anything in particular. This simultaneously feels really blissful and yet a little bit scary because we’re used to having anchors and attachments and something to hold our reality together. At first we may interpret it as ‘My brain has disappeared’, ‘I can’t focus or concentrate on anything’, ‘I can’t hold my thoughts together/string a sentence together’ and ‘Everything feels so vague and foggy’. This ‘no time’ business is like being an astronaut who has to get used to zero gravity – it’s cool but strange.
As part of this shift into ‘no time’, and as part of the corresponding deconstruction of who we thought ourselves to be, we are being asked to let go of so much of our former identities. If we used to define ourselves by a particular role or job, you can be sure that that role or job is in a state of major change or has been completely removed from your life. Again, there’s the feeling that we aren’t being allowed to hold on to anything external as our point of reference. We are establishing new identities, or rather re-discovering our authentic identities. This doesn’t mean we aren’t allowed to have anything external in our lives. We will still have relationships and friends and family, we’ll still have work and activities and interests, but the difference is those things are no longer going to be the sources that define us. We are rediscovering our inner being as the source of who we are, with our external realities being conscious physical expressions of this inner source.
We can no longer ‘fake’ who we are inside by creating an illusion of it outside. If our outer reality doesn’t match what is really going on within us, it will collapse or be forced to transform.  A great example is when someone who has always struggled with money wins millions of dollars, but still has a poverty, lack or ‘I’m not worthy’ mentality. You hear story after story where that person ends up, in a very short time, back to their old situation: broke and in debt.  Who has had the situation where you unexpectedly receive some money, maybe a pay bonus, a lottery win or some other gift, and just as unexpectedly you receive a parking fine or your car breaks down or the oven needs fixing, and the total bill comes to the exact amount of the bonus money you’d just received? On the one hand you might think, wow isn’t the universe great? It must have known this bill was coming because here I am with the bonus money for it! On the other hand you are angry and frustrated because what’s the deal? The second you get some extra cash, out the door it goes! What’s happened is, you received more than your current ceiling ‘limit’ when it comes to what you feel you deserve and rather than use the opportunity to adjust and lift your ceiling, your energy ‘bounced back’ the extra amount much like a bounced check. “We don’t accept amounts over $xyz thanks very much” or “We don’t accept money we haven’t worked hard for and earned” says your energy, and creates a situation that sucks up that extra money – enter the unexpected bill.
            Right now a lot of our ‘ceiling limit’ stuff around money, love and self-worth is coming up because Venus has just turned forward after her recent retrograde journey, and thus she will technically be in what’s known as the shadow period all July as she gets back to the place she was before she started reversing. During the retrograde she let us know where we have held ourselves back, especially in the areas of love and money, specifically related to our levels of self-love, self-worth, self-value and what we truly feel we deserve.   She also highlighted any issues we have around our Divine Feminine, and all the Feminine represents: our creativity, intuition, feelings, expressing our needs, how we feel about ourselves as women (if you are a woman), and how we feel about women regardless of our gender, including any old wounds around our mother and being mothered. Our feminine also governs our capacity to be nourished and nurtured, and our ability to Receive all that we truly need.  Is your basket open and limitless, or do you have self-imposed limits to what you can receive and how you can receive it?
As Venus turned direct last week she wooshed her tail around like a big Mama Dragon, giving us all that final kick up the pants on this topic of Receiving. Any issues you still have with Receiving what you are worth, receiving what you deserve and receiving what you truly need may have been highlighted by a big in your face confrontation with the opposite: Lack thinking, 'not enough' type thoughts, feeling pressured to give more energy/time/money than you feel you have, feeling there's a big hole where there should be a basket full of good stuff. Rather than sit in the hole feeling gloomy, confront it. Ask yourself: why would I create this hole, this lack, this feeling of 'not enough'? Are my thoughts of lack true or do I need to climb aboard the gratitude wagon for all I have? Does my reality tell me I haven't allowed myself to receive, and if so, what false beliefs do I need to ditch and what truth am I being called to uncover about who I really am? Have I settled for less when really I am here to experience more?
            As we all go through this deconstruction process, it is getting harder to hide our truth, from ourselves or others. Ulterior motives are becoming glaringly obvious – this is so visible right now in politics, business and the media, as well as in our personal lives. Unresolved issues long hidden under the carpet are being swooshed out. The more we try to avoid or resist what is ultimately our own authentic self trying to get us to see our own truth and trying to lead us to our own highest path and potential, the longer we draw out the whole process and the more difficult it becomes. Too often, in an attempt to avoid emotions like sadness and grief which so often go hand in hand with realizing certain truths, we end up living with a dormant yet heavy layer of those emotions stuck inside us. If we can find the courage to openly deal with whatever comes our way, we’ll find that while the emotional journey may be harrowing in the moment, we come out the other side stronger, clearer, wiser and faster than we would ever have thought possible.
            There is an interesting air of nostalgia in the air right now, as if we should all be taking pause to realise how special our lives here really are. How blessed we are to have a sun that warms us, an earth that provides for us, fresh, clean air that we can breathe, and water to sustain us. How often do you stop to really take in the gift that is your life? How often do you say thank you for all the blessings that are daily present in your life? This air of nostalgia is a part of the incoming frequency of Appreciation, which is part of a whole bunch of higher frequency energies we’re now moving into. The frequency of Appreciation is gaining in potency, playing its part toward influencing us to start viewing, and living, our lives in a more conscious, heart-centred way. Whether we each have one more day or one hundred more years on this planet, appreciation for what we have has the magical effect of suddenly allowing us to see things from a new perspective, to see situations and people around us with fresh eyes. Appreciation opens and expands our energy, allowing us to receive and create more of all that is good.
            With all this deconstruction happening, new identities and new lives must follow. In recent days many of us have received our new scripts for the times ahead, albeit received during our night time or nap time sleep state. So, we don’t necessarily have any conscious memory of this, nor any ideas as to what our new scripts contain. Our only clue that we might have attended a script meeting recently is finding ourselves feeling an increased state of excitement and anticipation, a greater sense of peace and ease that everything is going to be okay, or, depending on your personal script, an overwhelming passionate feeling that you have to do something about a particular social or global issue. If any of these describe you, know that your new script has been downloaded, and you will do what you need to do at the right time, in the best possible way. Follow your truth and your heart every day, that’s all you need to do, to do what you are next here to do.

Venus Direct: Time to Receive (or time to stop not receiving!)

As Venus turned direct this week she wooshed her tail around like a big Mama Dragon, giving us all that final kick up the pants on the topic of Receiving. Any issues you still have with Receiving what you are worth, receiving what you deserve and receiving what you truly need may have been highlighted this week by a big in your face confrontation with the opposite: Lack thinking, 'not enough' type thoughts, feeling pressured to give more energy/time/money than you feel you have, feeling there's a big hole where there should be a basket full of good stuff. 

Rather than sit in the hole feeling gloomy, confront it. Ask yourself: why would I create this hole, this lack, this feeling of 'not enough'? Are my thoughts of lack true or do I need to climb aboard the gratitude wagon for all I have? Does my reality tell me I haven't allowed myself to receive, and if so, what false beliefs do I need to ditch and what truth am I being called to uncover about who I really am? Have I settled for less when really I am here to experience more?

Current Energies Summary


Current Energies Summary - As Broadcast on Cosmic Vision News

We are experiencing back to back eclipses, transits and alignments this year that are propelling us into unprecedented evolutionary acceleration. As the Earth lines up with these super powerful points in our skies, it is like turning the dial on a safe and when you get the right code, click, the door opens. So, with every alignment this year a doorway has opened, often called a stargate, because it opens the way for a rush of galactic energy from the universe, from other star systems and other dimensions, to flood onto our planet, energy that we haven’t had access to for at least 26,000 years if not longer in this exact same way.  It is not any one alignment on it’s own that is triggering our shift.  However, when we experience a ‘perfect storm’ of alignments – a Solar Eclipse on Alcyone the central sun of the Pleiades, a Venus transit, alignment with the Galactic Centre  – this sets up the conditions that led the ancients to foresee that these times would herald great change upon this planet, a great awakening.   

The galactic energy is coming to us as waves, energy waves and solar waves, that are simultaneously awakening and activating our cells and DNA. Similar to an ocean wave that rushes into shore and back out again, the waves are clearing us of debris. This is happening on all levels – personal, social and global. The process will repeat over and over again until only that which is in alignment with the vibration of our new reality will remain. The new reality vibration is all about authenticity and is heart-based, and we can see as we look around us, within our own lives and around the world, that this process is well underway.  On a global level you can see it most obviously in arenas like politics where the people are taking a stand against controlling dictators and dishonest, corrupt government representatives. People are looking for honesty and transparency in their leaders, and want someone who speaks and acts from the heart. The old ways of working just aren’t going to work anymore, people aren’t responding as they used to!

The May 20/21 Solar Eclipse was a once in 26,000 year event as the Earth, Sun and Moon aligned with our Great Central Sun in the Pleiadian Star System. This stargate is taking us to our next level personally and collectively, flooding our bodies and our planet with the energy of Alcyone - which for many here is the energy of Home. The Alcyone alignment is like someone pressing the right pin code to activate our next phase of remembering. If you have been feeling ‘on hold’, like your old work is gone or on pause but the new is yet to start, you may start receiving strong feelings about what you are supposed to do next, and what you can best do to support our planet and humanity as we turn the corner into a new evolutionary chapter. We will also start to actively experience more of our multi-dimensional abilities including telepathy, magical synchronicity, heightened intuition, a clearer connection with loved ones who have passed on as well as with our non-physical star families and more conscious awareness of why things are how they are.

The Venus transit is about the Divine Feminine awakening. This awakening doesn’t just apply to women. It is about the Divine Feminine in all of us and how we relate to it in our world. So much of that which is ruled by the Divine Feminine has been repressed for so long.  This Venus transit is the Divine Feminine shouting to us: Stop avoiding me, stop denying me, stop ignoring me, referring to our intuition, our feelings, our creativity and living from the Heart.

Many of you have been forced to rest recently due to being low in energy, or getting colds and flu’s for the first time in years. Clearing happens easier when we get out of the way, especially when we are sleeping. With the current clearing process however we have to be careful that we aren’t inadvertently clearing on behalf of people who aren’t owning their clearing process, which can be really difficult for those who haven’t addressed major issues within themselves. People who’ve been on this path for a long time tend to have a ‘healer’ personality, so subconsciously send out vibes saying “I’ll take some of it on for you!”  This is a big no no right now! It is not helping that person, and it is not helping you. We are specifically talking about processing other people’s emotional stuff for them. We do this when we judge others, when we feel ‘bad’ for someone, when we get angry that they are doing xyz instead of abc. Let it go. If you aren’t sure if your physical symptoms are due to your clearing process or someone else’s you can say “If this is not mine please leave, return to your rightful owner”. It is also good to affirm “I am 100% ...say your name...nothing more, nothing less.”

Monthly Visions June 2012: Alignments and Eclipses and Transits oh my!


Monthly Visions June 2012: Alignments and Eclipses and Transits oh my!

We are in the midst of back to back planetary alignments right now that are simultaneously propelling us into a whirlwind of unprecedented evolutionary acceleration and leaving many of us on our backs literally thanks to the resulting clearing process. This clearing process is happening faster and on a deeper level than any we’ve experienced so far. It doesn’t involve pages of journaling or taking yourself off to the nearest healer. It is happening naturally to every aspect of our energy bodies, our physical body, our cells, our DNA and our lives whether we are conscious of it or not, ready or not.  
This is all happening due to a ‘perfect storm’ of alignments, as prophesised to be occurring now by the Mayans, Native Americans and other ancient and modern wisdom keepers. This ‘storm’ is an extremely positive phase of our evolution, yet it is also challenging in the same way that any major leap from one phase of your life to another can be. It requires a new level of maturity, a new level of responsibility and a new level of awareness, triggered by our ascent into a new level of consciousness for the purpose of experiencing a new level of reality.
As Earth experiences one alignment after another this year, it is like the ball in a pinball machine going ping, ping, ping, ping – with each alignment/contact a doorway or portal opens, allowing a rush of cosmic/galactic energy to flood onto our planet, energy that we haven’t had access to for at least 26,000 years if not longer. Just like a poker machine, sometimes you are lucky enough to get a few apples in the same row, or even a few going diagonally or vertically. This ‘perfect storm’ is akin to the apple landing in every space in all directions! Ding ding ding ding ding!! It is the jackpot of all jackpots, so huge in fact that we can’t even possibly conceive right now what it will mean for us.
Imagine a massive king wave that rushes into shore, dragging back out into the ocean loads of debris. It whooshes in and out over and over again, repeating the process, until eventually it stops and there is stillness. As we look around only that which is strong, true and real remains. We are experiencing these waves now, only they are not ocean waves, they are galactic waves and solar waves brought to us thanks to these alignments.  
These waves are clearing our planet, and us, of debris. For those who are feeling completely depressed right now about the state of the world, we are witnessing the uprising of a massive load of debris that was always there only now we are seeing the heightened, amplified, intensified version. As the clearing process happens, this debris is in our face which is an uncomfortable thing, but a good thing. How can we create a new reality if we don’t know what we are dealing with to start with? If there is rubbish hidden under the carpet, it is important to know about it before you go around re-decorating your home.
            This debris is being cleared on all levels: personal, social, global.  These clearings have left many of us literally on our backs over the last couple of weeks, recurring again in these days prior to the Lunar Eclipse and Venus Transit, manifesting as cold and flu symptoms when you haven’t been sick in years, extreme tiredness, body aches and pains and generally low in energy. Clearing can happen easier when we are sleeping or resting, so sometimes we are forced to nap or take it easy (by way of not feeling well) so that whatever energetic work needs to happen can happen without us getting in the way. 
With this current lot of clearings however, only some of it is our personal stuff, and some of it belongs to other people who aren’t owning their own personal clearing process. We are now in the times of needing to be 100% aligned with our higher energies and that can be really difficult for those who haven’t addressed major issues within themselves. The debris some are having to face right now is a bit like a dump truck dumping decades worth of rubbish at their front door. People who’ve been on this path for a long time tend to have a ‘healer’ personality, so subconsciously send out vibes saying “Don’t worry! I’ll help you! I’ll take some of it on for you!”  This is a big no no right now! It is not helping that person, and it is not helping you. Going through our rubbish has strengthened us, it has allowed us to know ourselves, it has been a vital part of our evolutionary process. ‘Saving’ someone from their rubbish is denying them the gold that they will find there.  We are specifically talking about processing other people’s emotional stuff for them. We do this when we judge others, when we feel ‘bad’ for someone, when we get angry that they are doing xyz instead of abc. Let it go.
How do you know whether your aches and pains or tiredness is your stuff or another person’s stuff? Personal clearing ultimately feels nurturing, even if you are stuck in bed with ten boxes of tissues next to you, you deep down know “My body needed this.” You feel like you are letting something flow through you, even if it’s a tad uncomfortable. When you are clearing on behalf of other people it ultimately feels draining and there is a niggling feeling that something doesn’t feel right. It feels like you are resisting something that is trying to flow. If you are not sure at any time, it’s a good idea to ask “if this is not mine please leave/please go back to your rightful owner”. (repeat 100 times if you need to!) It is also good to affirm “I am 100% ...your name...nothing more, nothing less.”

May 20/21 Solar Eclipse
This Solar Eclipse was a once in 26,000 year event as the Earth, Sun and Moon aligned with Alcyone, our Central Sun in the Pleiadian Star System. Aligning with this super high-vibrational star is like turning the dial on a safe and hearing that click as you get the right code and the door opens. This stardoor is taking us to our next level personally and collectively, flooding our bodies and our planet with the energy of Alcyone - which for many here is the energy of Home.
            During the eclipse, and now anytime after it, you may feel your cells tingling and something within you coming alive and awakening. The Alcyone alignment is like someone pressing the right pin code to activate our next phase of remembering. If you have been feeling ‘on hold’, like your old work is gone or on pause but the new is yet to start, you may start receiving strong feelings about what you are supposed to do next, and what you can best do to support our planet and humanity as we turn the corner into a new evolutionary chapter. For some their new mission will not start till 2013, so while that seems forever away knowing this will help any feelings of frustration. This is true for many who have spent years serving others. This is a year of making sure everything is in balance so if you feel you have been given a time out from your work ask yourself: Do I need to serve myself a bit more? Do I need to take care of my Self a bit more? This doesn’t mean more self-help, it more refers to allowing yourself to enjoy life on this planet: have more fun, more time in nature, more time with friends and family, more time doing grounded things like cooking and gardening and creative pursuits for the sheer joy of it. As a result of this alignment we will also start to actively experience more of our multi-dimensional abilities including telepathy, magical synchronicity, heightened intuition, a clearer connection with loved ones who have passed on as well as with our non-physical star families and more conscious awareness of why things are how they are.

June 5/6 Venus Transit
By now everyone will know that on June 5/6 we are going to experience the second half of a once in 114 year Venus transit. They come in pairs eight years apart – the first was in 2004. Venus transits on their own, just like eclipses on their own, aren’t responsible for shifting the entire consciousness of a planet. However, when we experience a ‘perfect storm’ of alignments – an Alycone eclipse, a Venus transit, alignment with the Galactic Centre to name a few – this sets up the conditions that led the ancients to foresee that these times would herald great change upon this planet, a great awakening.  If the Alcyone eclipse was about our souls’ awakening, the pair of Venus transits is about the Divine Feminine awakening. This awakening doesn’t just apply to women. It is about the Divine Feminine in all of us. So much of that which is ruled by the Divine Feminine – intuition, feelings, creativity, birth, the healing arts and living from the Heart – has been repressed for so long. We have collectively been living with an unbalanced Feminine, and a dominating, unbalanced Masculine energy. The process of addressing this balance has already started but after the June 5/6 Transit we will see it accelerate. You can see it now most obviously in arenas like politics where the people are taking a stand against controlling dictators and dishonest, corrupt government representatives. For too long we have shrugged our shoulders with a kind of ‘that’s just how it is in politics’ mentality, but a surge of empowerment is filling humanity, reminding us that this may be how it has been, but it is not how it is supposed to be.  People are looking for honesty and transparency in their leaders, and want someone who speaks and acts from the heart. The old ways of working just aren’t going to work anymore, and this will leave many of the old guard confused because they’ll wonder why people aren’t responding to them as they used to!
            On a personal level, the Venus transit is happening during a Venus Retrograde so it’s a doubly whammy message to ask yourself: What are you worth? How do you treat yourself? How do you allow yourself to be treated? What do you value? Do you spend time on things/people you value, or have you been distracted by the old Masculine energy that came from the head? Note: there is nothing wrong with Masculine energy or using our minds! What is changing now however is the way we related to our (out of balance) Masculine energy that put sole or primary focus on the mind/logic, ignoring our feelings and intuition about what we really want to do.
            2013 and beyond will be about what we really want to do – rather than what we feel we should do, or are supposed to do, or ‘have a mission’ to do. This has obviously already started for everyone who has left jobs, relationships and geographical locations to follow their heart into the great unknown.
            Experiencing all of these alignments can feel a bit like you are standing in front of a giant tunnel with the wind blowing 1000 miles an hour at you - exhilarating yet at the same time it's all you can do to hang on without collapsing. During the Alcyone eclipse they clarified this to say – moving toward your centre feels like 1000 mile an hour winds, moving away from your centre feels like 1000 mile an hour winds, but IN your centre is where you will find your zero point; the stillness, the quiet, the clarity, the uncongested connection to Source. Being in our centre, in our truth, in our authenticity, in our WHOLEness whatever that includes and whatever that looks like, is our sanctuary right now.

May 2012 Monthly Visions: Truth and Transparency


May 2012 Monthly Visions: Truth and Transparency

There is a saying “I can see right through you” and that has never been more applicable than now.  It feels like everyone around us, including us, is becoming more and more transparent, as all of who they/we are – and who they/we are not – is laid bare. This transparency is happening whether we like it or not – it is not as if everyone is suddenly feeling urged to be totally upfront and honest with each other.  It is more like a curtain that was once dense is now becoming sheer, and so there is nowhere to hide. 
As this process happens, we may not always like what we see.  We may have preferred the illusion of what someone or something was, more than we like the reality. Even if we had a fairly good idea of what someone or something was, the in-your-face transparency occurring right now is like someone turning the dimmer light switch up from medium to high. We may have thought we were seeing clearly a year ago or even a month ago, but it’s becoming a whole new ball game now.
The degree to which you are still attached to any specific illusion as opposed to its truth reality, (be it a person, relationship, cultural or religious belief), the greater the emotional trigger as the veil collapses. As something is revealed to you, in some cases for the first time in other cases for the hundredth time, you will feel anything from deep grief or intense anger on the ‘still attached’ end of the spectrum to mildly amused or barely interested observer on the ‘detached’ end of the spectrum.
If you are being triggered, it will be helpful to realise that the ‘truth’ you are seeing is actually serving you in being revealed to you. Your emotional reaction is simply the ego thrashing about, still wanting to be engaged in an old story or drama. However, if you stop for a moment and get back into your centre you can emotionally disengage for long enough to ask yourself a good question: “Is this truth I am seeing really bothering me, or is it actually quite liberating to finally see this?” If you are angry because certain people are acting a certain way, ask yourself: “Do I really want them to act the way I am saying I want?  Or am I being given a gift here? If this is a gift, what is the gift?”
Our freedom lies in realising we don’t have to react, or at least we can consciously choose how or even if we want to respond. Our old karmic ties are ending and so we are not karmically obligated to continue playing out old roles or patterns, or engaging in old relationships and dynamics that are no longer serving us. If someone ‘makes’ you feel not good enough, or ashamed, or judged, know that it is you who is still choosing to stay plugged in to an old story. There is no value in choosing to stay plugged in anymore. It is time to consciously remember that others do not define us.

“What you think of me is none of my business.” – Terry Cole-Whittaker

In the old cycle we needed others to trigger us into remembering who we are, often by others treating us less than. We remembered via overcoming pain, suffering, repression and other difficulties. We had our heads turned from who we are, from source energy, from the fullness of our light, and so we bought into stories around lack, limitation, restriction and disconnection. In the new cycle we are becoming the ‘living awake’ humans. Our heads are being turned forward toward the fullness of our light once again. Image a hose that was twisted and the water couldn’t get through, but now it is becoming untwisted and so the water can flow freely once again. That is what’s happening to us in this Shift. We are stepping into and embodying our divine identity, power and abilities. Our upside down world is becoming right side up again, and just like those snow shaker things the flipping process makes everything look chaotic for a while, but know that things are becoming right way up.
Some of us are grieving the loss or death of people in our lives who never really existed. Of course, the physical being that they are existed and is still alive, but the projection we cast onto them, the identity that we gave them, did not exist. We are seeing that now, and it might be hard to feel and face.
You might be feeling like every day is an exercise in your buttons being pushed, and you are really over it. The only way to be done with this, is to finally actually get over it. Get over needing someone to be what they are never going to be, or not going to be yet, or don’t even want to be. Get over acting like you are responsible for other people’s actions and emotions. Get over feeling like others are responsible for your actions and emotions. It is time to take full responsibility for who we are and how we are, and unplug from the cords we have stuck into others and had others stick into us. It is time to unplug from the projections we have thrown onto others, and had thrown onto us.
One of the biggest projections occurring right now is the one we have collectively thrown over this year 2012. Many either believe it’s the end of the world, or the year that our star family finally come to save us. Both these beliefs deny any sense of self-responsibility or collective responsibility for the world we have created and are yet to create.  As we cross the threshold of Dec 21, 2012 it will be a pivotal, empowering moment for humanity because finally we can be free of prophecies and the incorrect interpretations of them. Finally we can wake up from the illusion that it doesn’t really matter what we do because the world is either going to end or we’ll be ‘saved’. 

“Midnight will come, nothing will happen except some softly falling snow, and people will awake the next morning to a planet that needs to be taken care of. The clearing of apocalyptical belief systems will be exceedingly painful because caring more about beliefs than about the planet must cease.”- Barbara Hand Clow, The Pleiadian Agenda

Barbara Hand Clow was referring to the start of the new millennium, but these words can apply to the end of this year also.  There will be grief as the veil is finally and fully lifted, and people realise that no-one is coming to save us. Those Hopi’s were smart cookies when they said “We are the ones we have been waiting for.”  Our star families are watching us, they are close by, and I’m sure they will come and visit. However to ‘save us’ is to defy the whole point of our evolutionary intention: to awaken, to remember, and to realise that we know how to save ourselves.
To the dismay of the doomsdayers, the only waves that are going to wash over the planet are high vibration energetic ones.  These waves are impulsing us to awaken, to remember who we are, to remember our power and to remember our true, divine, galactic origins and identities.  These waves are cleansing our energy bodies, bringing to the surface anything remaining of the old vibration. These waves are clearing our hearts, our minds and our eyes, making us see and hear and feel more clearly. The waves are not like a magic wand, cleansing and clearing regardless of your own personal participation. They are simply ‘truth-revealers’ – what we each do with our own truth, and how we each respond to the increasing truth we see, is up to us.  
For some, this time of ‘revelations’ will feel like a nightmare. For others it will be bountiful bliss. This is why it has been so important to get as conscious as possible by 2012 – the more willing you are to face all this ‘truth in your face’ the easier the ride can be. It can still be challenging, but it doesn’t have to be painful or scary. If you are feeling pain or fear, ask yourself: What am I resisting? What am I not wanting to face? What am I scared of? Don’t judge or be afraid for people who don’t seem like they are on a ‘conscious’ path. There are lots of spiritual seekers who don’t want to look at their shadow, and so still have a bunch of truth to face, meanwhile there are folks who’ve never picked up a self-help book in their life who couldn’t be more ‘tell it like it is’, know exactly who they are and can see through anyone a mile away.
There will be celebration as the veil is finally and fully lifted, because all those who are ready and willing to take part in the building of a new earth will roll up their sleeves and start (or continue) doing something to make that happen.

“Before Enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After Enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.” – Zen proverb

There are a lot of emotions, and there’s lot of energy, flying around the place right now, and it will become increasingly important to not get hooked in or distracted by that which doesn’t belong to you, or by that which isn’t even real (ie old projections or illusions). Remember that as we move into higher frequency energy, that which is not in alignment with the higher vibration has to come up for clearing so it will be more visible, it will be more in your face. This will make it seem like things are getting worse, but know that these are the very signs telling us that things are on their way to getting a whole lot better.  We can’t know how to make things right, unless we become totally aware of where we’ve gone wrong. We can’t step fully into our power, unless we become fully aware of exactly how and where we have been disempowered.
            On the topic of illusions and projections, there has been a long time rumour that the old powers that were will try to create a false flag event using hologram technology making it seem like we are being attacked by an ‘alien’ race or they’ll project faces of religious figures in the sky just to get some end of the world zeal happening.  We know that they have this technology, we know that they aren’t beyond creating events to trigger fear and assume even more control, so this really isn’t that far-fetched. However, old reality intentions and energy are having a harder and harder time existing with each passing day in the higher energies so I’m not sure they could pull this off anymore. That said, it’s good to be aware that intentions like that exist so that IF something happens you can be prepared.
The best way to be prepared is to be familiar with your own true feelings, and this is yet another reason it’s important to unplug from constantly reacting to what other people are and aren’t doing.  When you hear from one person ‘get on the spaceships if they come’ and you hear from another person ‘don’t get on’, what do you do? Listen to your own heart in that moment.  You know who feels good and who doesn’t in your home or at a party or in the shopping mall, and the same applies here. There is not one type of star race, there is not one type of star ship, there is not one common intention among any visitors who may come. If they come and it all feels a bit controlling or patronising, you probably don’t want to join their party. If you cry joyful tears because you feel like you are being reunited with family, hug away! Listen to your own inner counsel and trust yourself.
            As you witness that which you don’t like being revealed, use it as a catalyst for reminding you what it is you would like, what it is you would prefer. Find some small way to move toward that preference be it changing the way you think or act.  Every single thing that we each do or don’t do right now will determine the kind of world we create with this ‘once in many lifetimes’ opportunity to create a very new reality. We are each one part of a huge 7 billion piece jigsaw puzzle. Your piece counts. Your piece matters. The question now is not: What kind of world are we going to have beyond 2012? It is: What kind of world do you want beyond 2012, and what are you doing with your piece of the puzzle to make it so?
