2015 - The year of claiming your power and potential in 5D

      Welcome back once again dear reader my final installment of 2014 and a look ahead to 2015.  It will be a happy new year indeed full of energy and lots of action and activity in our individual worlds and in the larger planetary perspective as well.  I'll get into it in a moment, let's first look back at 2014.

     The year 2014 has been a challenge to many on a personal level as all of us continue to be challenged to adjust to the new paradigm of the 5th dimension emerging on the planet.  Old ways and old habits die hard, don't they?  In the sphere of those I know and interact with there has been much re-assessment and seeking towards aligning with one's truth and purpose at a deeper level.  Many are still attempting to operate from a mental level, yet the heart is beginning to take the lead.  This has resulted in many having health challenges, both physical and emotional.  Relationships have come to an end.  People have been changing residences, or getting the feeling that they might be better off in a new location.  Some have stepped a little further away from the old 3D paradigm and have worked through the 4D level which has created a pause from the emotional turmoil that often accompanies that level of consciousness.  Many believe that the 4th dimension is the next step, but as I have stated previously it is only a bridge.  The vibrations of 5th dimensional awareness is where I believe we need to be aiming to spiral our consciousness towards.

     Some have come to a place where they have done some of the work needed and are in an unfamiliar place of confusion or being stuck.  This is because you and I have left behind a lot of our old ways of being that were comfortable and reliable.  There is this knowing that it is pointless to return to that way of being, yet this big energy of "the unknown" is all that can be seen ahead.  The seemingly endless distractions of modern life have added to the confusion.  It is now time to really appreciate your ability to focus and to discern what is best for you.  2015 will be fertile ground to make your way forward into the new.  What tool do we use?  It is the heart and your imagination.  A bit scary and exciting at the same time, isn't it?

     We are each paving our path forward as we step into it, so in a sense there is no road to see because we are creating it as we go.  Living in 5D means trusting your heart and really "owning" your truth, and not anyone else's.  You are a spark of divine creation inhabiting a physical body that is going through much change.  Be kind to yourself.  Despite the harshness and ignorance we see all around us we must stay true to ourselves if we are to navigate the choppy waters of the coming times.  Stay centered in your own self and practice good energetic hygiene by releasing those things and people that no longer serve your happiness or well being.  "Less is more" is the motto to keep in mind going forward.  Now let's explore the possibilities of 2015 and see what it holds.

2015-Power and potential

     This new year is shaping up to be one of much activity on the world stage.  There are many gyrations of economics occurring that will manifest into clashes of the old and new.  Just because the planet is holding a 5th dimensional vibration doesn't mean there will be many fighting to keep things the same old way, i.e.  wars, sanctions, repression of all kinds.  This I believe will be kindled because of the manipulation of the energy markets (mainly oil) that are currently underway.  If you haven't noticed, the price of oil has dropped substantially around the world.  This will have major impacts for countries that depend on oil for the bulk of their revenues (Russia, Saudi Arabia, the other gulf states, Venezuela, and a few others).  Power in the temporal world is represented through money, and these countries getting less of it means the potential for conflict(war) is raised.  In the USA and Canada the lower prices will mean lower production in the lucrative oil shale(fracking-USA) and tar sands(Canada).  Despite this it is likely the new U.S. Congress will approve the Keystone pipeline as a stepping stone to repealing a nearly 40 year ban on the USA exporting oil products.  The wealthy and super powerful oligarch's will stop at nothing to see this happen, believing that in the long term this will give them even more profits and control.

    Here's the 5D angle that the old dinosaurs aren't considering:  The "game" has changed because we exist in a new paradigm that appears to still be the same old ways.  Remember "less is more"?  All around the world people are beginning to intuitively respond to this and are beginning to simplify their material lives.  In my research of macroeconomic trends it is apparent that many are quite aware that consumption will be declining of all types of things in the coming years.  This, combined with the efficiencies brought on by the computer age makes producing things dramatically easier.  It simply takes less and less people to produce more and more goods and services.  In addition, it is clear that world population trends are flattening.  This means fewer people to consume, and more older people who typically consume much less than those of younger years.  I could go on and on about other emerging trends, suffice it to say that there will be change and it will work out for the best, but not before this last gasp of transition plays out.  I imagine it will be sooner than later, but likely no more than 20 years before it becomes accepted as fact.  Now lets go into some more fun views of 2015.

     Numerology is a science developed and refined by the Greek mathematician Pythagoras over 2500 years ago.  The year 2015 = 2+1+5 = 8.  It is an 8 year.  8 years are good for business and creating new ventures and have good potential for new breakthroughs.  It is a year where the theme will test each of us in how much of our own personal power can we claim.  Do you feel worthy of more?  Do you take responsibility for yourself 100%?  On a deeper level, are you willing to believe that you create your reality 100%, and that your success or lack is based on your willingness to connect to the larger and wiser part of you that connects within your heart?  We all do it to some degree, are you willing to stretch yourself a bit more in 2015?  If so, you will be rewarded for your courage and persistence.  It is really a year to focus on you, not all of the others.  Many will be going into deeper fear and panic and will look to anyone or anything to cling to.  Resist the temptation to want to rescue any able bodied being!  Have detached compassion, bless the situation and keep your ship on course for the journey you have charted for yourself.  By doing this you will act as a beacon of hope for others that they can learn from.  Show the world what you are made of by living your truth with as much passion and vigor as you can, whatever your truth is.  Be resilient, bend but do not break.  The more one listens to their heart the more they have to live in integrity and with high ethics.  Eventually each of our efforts will trickle into all areas of society and transform our corporations and governments to a much higher level of functioning and stewardship than they so poorly emulate today.  As each of us transforms, the world we live in transforms.  It always comes from the grass roots up, never from the top!

     Starting February 19 (Chinese New Year)  begins the year of the Wood Goat.  This sign signifies Yin energy, peace, tranquility and most importantly harmonious co-existence.  The energy of this period will extend through the balance of 2015 and into the beginning of February 2016.  I have found that this system of interpretation is accurate especially in the context of the larger theme of energies on the planet.  While it is likely that the "8" energy I spoke of and the economic chess game being played will result in a lot of activity and the possible threat of war or wars breaking out, I believe this energy will be moderated by the yin energy of the goat year.  People are slowly coming to understand that we are all interconnected and all share the same planet and resources.  Cooperation will be seen as much more desired than military excursions and posturing.  When people have what they need, they rarely resort to war.  Let us focus on this.  There truly is enough for everyone.

     On a final note let's not forget Gaia, our Mother Earth.  She is doing her best to adjust to the changes of once again becoming 5th dimensional and she is eager to have her children (all of us) join her in harmony.  I mention this because my guidance suggested that it is important to bear in mind that the possibility exists that there may be an unexpected change that may disrupt some people for a while.  There has been a lot of volcanic activity along the Pacific "Ring of Fire" and earthquake activity has been regular, although it has seemed to be spread in many areas of the Earth.  It is not her intent to cause dramatic changes that could harm many.  I am merely passing along the message that she asks all of us to do what we can to support her.  It can be as simple as a prayer or just recycling your bottles and cans, or using less plastic.  She says that the all of her residents will appreciate this greatly.  Let us come more into harmony with all of the kingdoms of this beautiful planet.  And thanks for what you already do to remain mindful of our home.

     Happy New Year to you all.  May you be blessed with health and happiness and the opportunity to follow your heart's desires in 2015.

Change - New perspectives on how to do it in 2015

     Welcome back dear reader to our next installment of 5D Times where today we will be exploring the very hot topic of "change".  It is something we all do all of the time, yet we rarely take time to think about the process itself.  I'm writing this because it seems like something has changed (ha ha!) about the way we are experiencing life and many people are wondering what to do next.

     I have heard from many healers and writers on this topic that a lot of people are experiencing feelings like "I'm tired", "I'm confused", "I can't focus", "I'm no longer interested in the mundane".  These are some of the expressions that are challenging all of us in present time.  It's as if the flow of life we once knew has withdrawn itself and we are trying to get our bearings as to where we are and how to move forward.  So where are we in this moment?

     There is no one answer that fits all to the question.  Each of us is moving forward into a new way of being and living that really has no precedent in modern history.  Each of us is unique, like no two snowflakes are exactly alike, neither are we.  What we do have in common is that each of us is on a journey called "human life" and we are doing it on a planet that has shifted energetically into the 5th dimension.  This is creating new opportunities to experience life in a more expanded way, if we are willing to go into the unknown and claim more of who we are.  That is to say, if we continue to do things the old way we will continue to experience frustration and results that that leave us wanting.

     The reason that many are feeling confused, frustrated, distracted, etc. is that we need to put more energy and effort into becoming more complete in our awareness of who we are.  Also, there are parts of us that would be perfectly happy to not have any change occur at all.  This is reflected in our society socially, politically and economically.  Conversely we also are seeing new changes crop up like grass through cracks in concrete.  There is much being discussed about being more in balance with the planet by creating alternative energy sources that are non-polluting or at least much less polluting.  There is more awareness about the food we eat and how it is produced and the rise in the organic movement over the last 20 years shows many are paying attention to what they eat.

     For the most part we have been trained to follow the institutions and systems of life, such as the government, religions, corporations, etc.  Now there is great questioning going on about whether these can really lead us forward.  They cannot.  They still serve a purpose and that purpose is likely going to be subject to quite a bit of revision in the coming years.  People sense this, therefore there is fear.  "What are we going to do if the so and so stops functioning?"  Hence, the fear of change.   It is driven by the physical, mental and emotional parts of ourselves.  However the spiritual part of ourselves is wanting change, is wanting expression and is wanting creation.

     There is an old saying "There are those that make things happen, those that watch things happen, and those who wonder what the heck just happened."  It remains true in the present, and it all depends on how conscious you wish to be.  You have a choice in this matter, and there is no right/wrong about it.  It comes down to what feels comfortable to you.  It is a challenge to go to your "edge" as they say and expand yourself to a greater degree.  In this expansion we can allow space for new creation to occur.

     In the 5th dimension, it is all about living on vibrant energy (l.o.v.e.).  Our Etheric energy is a part of the equation that adds up to l.o.v.e. and we need to learn about it, get it touch with it consciously and start using it.  It is where change comes from!  I was reading an article recently where the author said "all change really comes from the future".  How can that be?  Isn't there only the present?  Well, in the higher vibrations time-space doesn't exist as we experience it, so yes, we can and we do "seed the probabilities" of our individual future that then resonates into the present.  The past can still bleed through if we are not willing to take our power, and we call that karma, or fate.  Remember, the point of power is the present moment.

     What has happened is that the old energetic underpinnings of the way we have lived and worked for several thousand years has quietly, almost imperceptibly slipped away.  This is why there is confusion, frustration, etc.  No one said it would be easy!  With the 5th dimension firmly in place, supporting living on vibrant energy it makes perfect sense to familiarize oneself with the new equation.  The first part of this is the etheric, and it is not something you are unfamiliar with either.

     The etheric can be described as part of your non-physical energy.  It is the energy body closest to the physical body and it can be seen with a bit of practice.  It is also seen in nature.  If one relaxes their eyes it can appears as a vibrating haze around plants and trees, even rocks.  To me it is the indication that everything is energetic and vibrating and physical solidity is actually more of an illusion.  You can connect with your etheric energy through imagination, which is a form of active meditation that most of us enjoy.  When one combines their imagination with their heart energy (i.e. sustained passion and excitement) they are performing an alchemical process that will return to them as a reality experienced at some point.

     What I am saying is that we need to take a look at exercising our imaginations on a more regular basis to tap into the larger part of who we really are.  The present world would like to have us believe that all of our needs can be met by our electronic devices and many are somewhat distracted by the overwhelming input of entertainment, information and instant access that it has gotten to the point of overload.  The electronic world is useful, and like all things it is good in moderation.  Once we are able to connect with our etheric energy and combine it with our heart energy (passion) then we are once again on our way to moving forward.  This, I believe is where many of us are presently residing.  We are searching for our passion, our purpose.  We are to one degree or another, claiming our creator energy.  There is no judgement in this, it is just that being more conscious allows us each to have more power in our lives.

     The holiday season is upon us once again and it is a perfect laboratory for each of us to practice using our energy to create an enjoyable time with family and friends.  Many of us gather multiple times this month to celebrate, so why not make it fun using your energy to seed outcomes you prefer?  Sit with yourself for a few minutes each day for the next week, quietly imagining in as great a detail as you can the positive feelings and interactions you wish to experience.  Imagine that your vibration is so high that you radiate l.o.v.e. wherever you go and people can feel it.  Visualize yourself inside a perfect geometry, such as a crystal or an energy construction such as an octahedron or merkaba and that as you go through the holidays no negative energies will be able to "hook into" you.  If you do this you'll find that your interactions with others will be much much more pleasant.  Imagine yourself in good health and cheer too.  Doing this you are combining imagination with your desire (heart energy).  Really feel it as much as possible as being true for you, with no doubt in your mind that you deserve this experience.  You do!  Do this practice for 5 or 10 minutes by yourself, undisturbed for 5-7 days.  Then forget about it and go on with your life as you normally do.  Don't wonder what will happen or if it will happen.  Trust.  Trust.  Trust, and release it to G-d or the Universe or whatever you'd like to call it.  I am certain that if you do this with focused intent and release it, you will have a great holiday and new year and you will start 2015 empowered to use this skill in the coming year to create other things you want.

   See how you may be already preparing for the holidays by thinking with anticipation of the events you will attend and the interactions you will have.  By just focusing this process you are already using just a bit more, your results will be magnified greatly.  It is also important to point out that this is a good time to connect more with the wisdom of our heart.  It is our greatest gift, and is something that can never be turned into a mere computer algorithm.  Work to relax the mental side of yourself, something that we are all using too much these days.  Feel your fuller potential expand as you work consciously on all parts of your beautiful Self.  You are the gift this season.  Make it so.


Blessings,

Robert
