Warning: America is about to change big time, be prepared!

     It is just after the Presidential election here in the United States and despite all appearances of division, the state of our Union is strong.  We are now preparing ourselves for the next step on our journey as a nation, a journey into the unknown and there is much fear and confusion about what is happening.  I am going to attempt to give you insights into what is happening from a 5D perspective so that you will feel a greater sense of peace and preparedness for what will be unfolding in the coming year.

     This isn't about sensationalizing things, we all know that there is plenty of that going around.  If you are looking for conspiracy theories, political analysis, unfounded speculation or the like, you may wish to stop reading.  If you are looking to understand the deeper meaning of what is happening, why it is happening and how you can be prepared, then by all means continue reading.  This is about the shift in consciousness and how it is now showing up in our lives, not only here in the USA but across the globe.

There will be change

     To the shock and surprise of about half of America, the candidate they voted for did not win.  Funny, this happens in almost every election in a democratic country, yet it generated such intense feelings this time.  Why?  It did create shock because so many were absolutely convinced that theirs was the only candidate to go forward with and that the other was wholly unqualified.  Let me tell you this:  It really doesn't matter who is President, the changes that are coming are far beyond who is sitting in the Oval office.  There will be change because the way that consciousness is expressed is changing and we cannot have the new without letting go of the old.

     I have written about this idea of "releasing what no longer serves" for a while.  It occurs within our individual and collective lives.  We understand our individual life because we see our self  as a body - this is me, that is you.  On a national level this is harder to see because we agree to a collective idea that we are each part of the country we live in (although many would argue that they do not want to be!) We create institutions of government to represent the physical aspects of our agreement to this and we elect people to staff these institutions, to serve in the interests of the collective.

     It has become obvious to us here in the USA, as well as in other countries, that what has been is not working very well anymore.  Large numbers of people are being left behind, left to fend for themselves in an increasingly competitive globalized world.  Some wish to pull back from that, to return to the "good old days"  (whenever that was!).  There is no doubt that national interests are being heavily influenced by stateless global corporate interests that have only an allegiance to money and little else.  This phenomenon is not new, but it has reached such a crescendo that now people are beginning to take notice.  There will be change is a statement that applies to all human creations, especially the very large government and corporate creations we are all a part of to one degree or another.

Root assumptions will be tested in new ways

    If there is one thing that is certain with President-elect Trump, it is that root assumptions of what the requirements to attain the highest office in the nation have been forever altered.  That being said, on a personal level we are each being called to awaken from a slumber we haven't realized we have been in.  Depending on where we are each at individually with our own development, it will be anywhere from somewhat gentle, to quite a shock, like getting a bucket of cold water in the face while in the middle of a pleasant dream.  How can I say this?  Because I know that we are more than a body and an ego.  We are not completely in charge of life on this plane.  We are co-creating it with higher aspects of ourselves that now wish to become known consciously to each of us.  Why is this?  Because we have now firmly entered the energies of 5th dimensional expression on this plane and there is no turning back.  On a higher level we have all asked for and agreed to it, now we are learning how to face it and embrace it.

No one said transformation would be easy or convenient

     It was written in the christian bible "Render to Caesar what is Ceasar's" and "seek only for the Kingdom".  These are important statements that have a lot to do with what is occurring presently in our world.  "Be in the world but not of it" is another apt pronouncement.  It's clear that the systems of government and commerce are not functioning in the best interests of global society.  Few prosper while the masses scrape by.  As long as I have enough, why should I worry about someone else?  The issue now is that the gap has continued to widen, taking millions of people from one side of the equation to the other.  Therefore you see Brexit, you see Trump.  And you will see more.
I am not espousing the rise of socialism by this, I am however promoting the raising of consciousness so that we each can contribute to making higher and better choices as to the world we will all live in.  Everything is moving forward, whether it wants to or not.  A higher directive has been issued.  We can still have the choice to deny this, but it is about as useful as commanding the Sun to not rise.  It is happening.  The extent to which this awakening process will manifest is unknown to any mortal, however I would infer from what I have learned that it will at times be not pleasant or convenient for most of us.  Such is the nature of change and going into the unknown from being deeply mired in a 3rd dimensional paradigm for thousands of years.  Rejoice!  Don't be afraid!  All is well.  We have help.  We will deliver ourselves to the truth of our being.

     For too long we all have lived in tiny boxes of beliefs that have kept us complacent and very limited.  We were taught to give away our power to religions, the state, etc.  Freedom was granted in measure.  Now we are in a time where our beliefs are going to be expanded and refined to the point that outer world that we have constructed and supported will have to transform to match the new reality.  It may sound preposterous, yet I know in my heart it will happen.  I do not know how long it will take, yet I feel that some important pieces will start to manifest in the near future.  Just looking at the societal changes in politics and economics, not to mention the environment, it is clear that we collectively will have to change.  The current system has run its course, and that is a good thing.

The next act in the Play of Consciousness

     Evolution is a key concept of life.  Not evolution of forms, but of consciousness itself.  Being human hasn't been easy for most of us in a 3rd dimensional paradigm.  For thousands of years just making it to the age of 40 was a great accomplishment.  As I have said, from a higher level we have all asked for the human experience to move to greater levels of light and love, so the Earth herself has responded and created a new vibratory pattern to support that.  This pattern has only been brought in since the beginning of this century and has now firmly taken root.  Now it is beginning to unfold, and it will affect the status quo we have been living in.

     The changes that are being ushered in are by no means superficial.  While the predominant theme of the last 15 years has been the apparent increase in fear and angst all across the planet, it is being raised so it can be truly seen for what it is, addressed and released.  It won't happen in one single moment of rapture, it will be brought forth by the hearts and minds of us willing to claim the truth of who and what we are.  And what is that?  We are beings of spirit at our essence who willingly have agreed to come to this human plane in order to learn and grow, evolving ourselves and the entire human concept to its next level of expression.  We are learning how to hold and express more of who we really are within a human body, and in this process there are many challenges and gifts that each of us face, everything serves no matter how it is labeled by us.

     What I speak of here is the emergence of a paradigm shift so great that once we each begin to grasp it, we will wonder how we ever managed to exist before.  It is borne within each one of us, that is why it is so crucial to attend to your own self before anything else.  Let's talk about this a bit more.

Manage you own energy to thrive during the shift

     Wellness is a key component part of being able to function in the coming months and years.  Our physical, mental and emotional selves are being pushed to their limits in these times.  You can refer to my article from 2011 on the basic rose technique for creating a definite boundary of your personal energy field.  This will serve you to not absorb the stray thoughts and feelings of others.  Imagine yourself within a beautiful bubble of energy, it can be egg-shaped, it can be a geometric shape like a merkaba(star tetrahedron) or whatever you like.  The point is to do it because we each need to create a safe energetic space for ourselves.  In addition and just as important is to imagine yourself grounded into the Earth as well as open to the higher chakras.  This can be accomplished very easily by sitting or standing, imagining a cord of beautiful light running down your spine and and into the earth.  Draw it right to the center of the planet.  Conversely run the cord up out of the top of your head and out into space, imagining it connecting to G-d, Source or wherever you like.  After doing both of these things, just breath and fill your personal space with energy.  You can do this first thing in the morning before you begin your day and then check on it from time to time as you go through your day.  It is a great practice of creating ownership of you in this body in a higher form, and it will assist you to not fall into habitual fearful reactive thoughts and behaviors.  What I am inviting you to do is to prepare yourself to connect and experience more of what is already available to assist you- namely your higher self/divine self coming into presence in your daily life.  While it may seem unknown, it has just been forgotten during the long sleep we have all been in and it is waiting for us to acknowledge it.  Give it a try, you have nothing to lose and much to gain.

     Less is more.  I've said this many times and will continue to say it.  The 5th dimensional experience is about less stuff and more love.  There will still be "stuff" - we are still here in a body and still have needs for food, clothing and shelter.  The idea that I am promoting is first giving ourselves a bit more love, and then practicing experiencing more love with those who are important people in our lives.  This is very basic.  Despite being more connected electronically and able to have the world at our fingertips with our devices, we have neglected the development of basic human interaction, often pushing it to a secondary want.  Think of someone you can have a conversation with, looking into their eyes, both of your hearts open, sharing some moments.  That will never be duplicated with a device!  If no one is handy, I invite you to go look at yourself in the bathroom mirror and tell yourself that you love you.  I can almost guarantee that you will feel your heart opening in that moment!  This energy is a force, really THE force of all our creations going forward.  It is the basis of 5th dimensional life.  While fear will still be available as an option, it is only an option.  Focus the Energy to Alter the Results (F.E.A.R.).

The 5th dimension is a grass roots project

     As I said at the beginning of this article, it really doesn't matter who is President of the USA, our path of creating is from the ground up, not from the top down.  Each of us is sovereign to ourselves and our allegiance must be first to our own self and then out into the world at large.  All of us are being called to awaken from our acquiescence to old forms, old systems, old ways of being.  If you know that you will be safe, you will be claimed in safety.  Your alignment will bring you to where you are required, to be in service.  This means that as you choose what vibration you can hold- low or high, you will be drawn into corresponding parts of this play of humanity.  None of us here is without love, without worth.  It is however our choice what we will claim for ourselves.  The days of playing the victim are gone.  Resistance, which is born of fear we all experience, is saying "We will do it as we please without regard to this future you speak of, and we will not be budged."  The arrogance of this statement, when it collides with the reality of the new world we are already beginning to live within, is the energy that will awaken everyone on the planet.

     The time has come for humanity to face itself and all of its creations.  Those creations that no longer serve will have to be re-claimed in a higher way, and re-known.  There will be attempts to keep the current system in place, limping along as it has.  There will be attempts to turn back or turn away, or break away.  These will all fail, as the energy on the planet has shifted and will not support those ideas any longer.  We are all moving forward like it or not.  One needs to be aware that the requirement of the higher self/divine self that is becoming known in each of us are vastly different that those of the small self that we have been clinging to for so long.  What great drama it will be to see liberation happen!  Do not be angry at what has happened, true change does not happen through violence, but through love.  "Those of us who have come to claim a new world into being must also bear witness to those things that have been claimed in fear, be it a President, be it a law, be it a war, it matters not." (Guides via P. Selig).  Everything, whether we label it "good or bad" is an aspect of the Creator and can be claimed now in a higher way.  Those of us who are waking up are here to give the gift of knowing to all we witness, knowing in TRUTH, not in agreement to history.  This is where the untapped expertise of each of us is waiting to emerge and be seen.  What is your gift that you have been afraid to show the world?  Maybe now is the time to bring it into view for others to see and benefit from?

     Understand this:  The higher self/divine self that we are inviting into our lives does not agree to fear.  She understands deceit and does not align to it.  He understands pain, but doesn't identify as it.  The small self is the one running around right now saying "I must prepare because bad things are going to happen.  I must know what I need to do to stay safe."  We are all going to be learning how to trust aspects of our greater selves are coming to assist and are much wiser than the small selves we've been so comfortably uncomfortable with.  It is happening right now, and as we begin to identify it for ourselves we will claim more of it into being in our lives.

     It is time to re-frame the process of change that is occurring.  Often we see change as something to fear.  It appears out of our control, it is not of our will or desire.  These are the words of the small self that we each hear loudly.  The new human experience of living on a 5th dimensional planetary awareness is a dream that will manifest because it has been ordained by us all at a higher level.  It will be brought forth through each of us working to attend to it as something WONDERFUL.  Think about it, full of wonder, doesn't that sounds enticing and fun to you?  Are we willing to see this sooner than later?  I know I want to see some of it before I check out of this human suit, how about you?

Final thoughts

     Be kind to yourself, nurture yourself.  We all have gone through a very intense period of shifting energy in the last few months with regards to the elections here in the USA.  Consider paring back your attention to social media and the TV for a week or two.  What will be occurring will still be there when you return, but you have to admit you could use a break from it all.  Get out into nature, talk a walk, get a massage, spend time with loved ones.  The drama will be waiting if you care to re-engage it.  Perhaps with some of the tools I've propose you'll engage it in a new way, one with compassion for so many who are in pain and want things to get better.  Lead them by your example of how you are feeling and caring for yourself and not just through your words.  Build your strength for your self to be ready for the coming year,  it is going to be the start of much that has been long needed, and now will be claimed.  More on that in my next posting.  Until then, be well.


Blessings,


Robert
   

Consciously breathe to heal and transform!

     Okay people, today we are going to dive into a topic that while it may seem on the surface to be very mundane, is actually the key gate way to our transformation - the breath.  Most of us taking breathing for granted, after all it is something that happens without us having to think about it, correct?  And for the most part, that is what we do.  We obviously can also control our breath- holding it, changing it in different forms- large/small, slow/fast.  We can combine it with all sorts of yogic practices to spur deep states of meditation, raising the kundalini, and bathing the cells of our body with life giving oxygen.  With all of the possibilities I feel it's time to explore this further as a crucial tool for our personal healing and evolution.

     Breath is life.  Breath is power.  Breath is a carrier of energy, not just oxygen containing air that we need to keep our bodies alive.  Etheric energy rides upon conscious breath.  Some may refer to this as "prana" in the Eastern tradition.  It is not important so much what it is named, it is important to understand that it exists and is available to each of us if we so desire.  Breath is something we can exist the least amount of time without.  We can go days or weeks without food, maybe a few days without water, but only a few minutes without a breath.  It is the first thing we do when we are born, and it the last thing we do before we leave our bodies.  Many believe the soul itself rides upon the breath.  Henry Ford even went so far as to capture the last breath of his great friend Thomas Edison in a test tube he had sealed for posterity!  Breath is important, but we have generally been ignorant of its potential to transform our lives.

     The rising popularity of yoga in the West over the last 40 years has done much to educate many on the topic of breath.  In my opinion, the whole basis of yoga is about breath, learning what one can do with the breath in order to raise one's consciousness.  Of course the side effect of a regular yoga practice is also a well-tuned body, and that is important as well for anyone.  There are many branches to the "yoga tree", different schools of thought and different intents, yet all serve to expand one's awareness of Self, not just the personality self/ego but the larger being we each are.  I imagine that if all of our leaders were regular practitioners of healthy breathing, either via yoga or some other practice, far better decisions would be made!

     Accessing this tool of power - the breath, requires no special tools, just your willingness to explore and play.

Template of the Breath

Inhale  >   Pause >  Exhale

                                                                        

                                 Strength >  Power  >  Action

                                                                      

                               Grounded >  Balanced > Stability

                                                                          

                          Responsibility > Accountability > Integrity

  

     Above is a template of what the breath means.  There are 4 levels of the breath as shown.  I will attempt to explain this as it was explained to my by my guides recently.  The first level is the basic action of the breath, inhale-pause-exhale.  When we breath consciously, we inhale energy into our bodies.  Then there is a short pause where everything that has been brought in is integrated.  Finally there is the exhale, releasing all that is not needed.

     On the second level it is Strength-Power-Action.  We inhale into our strengths to create the power to take action.  Very simple indeed, yet so very powerful.  When we breath consciously (and it does not have to be for long periods) we integrate more of that etheric energy which is a part of us.  This gives us the power to move ahead in creating what we next want to see in that moment.  Taking the first three letters of this level we have SPA.  We all have our own internal health spa via our breath!  Check in with yourself when you are feeling stressed.  Notice how the breath can be restricted and reduced.  Now just stop and inhale into your spa, taking a few long deep breathes.  Notice the difference.  Understand how the breath can be used to aid you in being well.  Paying attention to one's own body is the key.

     On the third level we have grounded-balanced-stability.  This is definitely something that we can all benefit from by connecting to it.  To go through all of the changes and stresses of modern life it is so vitally important to be grounded in one's self, balanced and stable.  The breath provides for this at this level and this sets up the energy for the final level.

     Now we are inhaling into our strengths, and we are grounded in our own energy.  Now we go to the 4th level of breath.  As we bring the energy of the breath to its fullest expression within us, we now have access and benefit of the words responsibility, accountability and integrity.  Further said,  we have the ability to respond to change in our lives.  We take responsibility for our actions and therefore we can be accountable for our creations and what we say and do in the world.  This leads us to the final word - integrity.  Integrity is a powerful word because it brings forth the idea that we are fully standing in our truth in that moment.  We have created from it and we are the first to feel the integration of all of this energy within ourselves.  We are living wholly in that choice of being in our bodies and taking actions based on our free will and free choice as we move forward on our journey.

     To summarize this template, the purpose of the breath is to inhale the integrity of our whole being.  It's not just the physical self, it is the energetic/etheric self moving into greater alignment with us in the present moment.  This conscious "coming together" of the human and the spiritual parts of ourselves supports us to make changes within the 5D paradigm that we are now living within.  No longer is it enough to just stay within the confines of what has been known to us up to this point.  In order to advance ourselves, to become more, we need to pay attention to the vehicle of the breath.  We have to trust, and go forth into this unknown portion of ourselves, our true selves, to move forward into change and subsequent transformation.  The fifth dimension is all about each one of us doing our work, so that we will see the changes we want that are based in love begin to manifest around us.

Suggestions for working with the breath

     The energy of breath fuels us- physically, mentally and emotionally.  It's said that we cannot take an action without first taking a breath.  As I have mentioned before, practicing a form of yoga is a great way to work to understand one's breath, for it is the root of the practice.  What is you do not want to do yoga?  How about walking?  Try this:  While on a walk notice your breathing as it is.  Then attempt to inhale to a 4 count, then a brief pause, then a smooth 4 count exhale.  Depending on how practiced you are, you could do this as a 6 or 8 count as well.  Take the first words of the four levels and while you are doing this imagine yourself inhaling strength, feeling grounded and feeling able to respond to what life is bringing you.  Imagine energy riding into your body on the wave of your inhale.  Allow it to integrate in that pause after the peak of your inhale - it only takes a moment!  Then exhale evenly what is no longer needed.  If you would like, you can imagine exhaling toxins- whether physical, mental or emotional.  If you walk for say 30 minutes at a time, you could begin by trying this practice for the first 5 minutes of your walk and if you enjoy it you can expand it.  With practice you will effect a change in your unconscious breathing patterns that can be very beneficial!

     What we are working on here is taking the breath- the most fundamental tool of creation that any of us has, and we are bringing it into conscious awareness.  The reason that we are doing this is we are needing to integrate all of the changes that are happening to our bodies as the frequencies of the planet itself are amplified.  That, plus all of the energies that are streaming towards our planet from all quarters- known and unknown.  Many who are energetically sensitive are feeling these waves of energy.  Others are feeling urges that they need to make changes in their lives rather strongly, such as changing and improving diet, changing relationships in work or personal spheres, and sometimes a sense of wanting to go deeper within oneself and not just accept the mass consciousness version of reality.  In the fifth dimension there is only the vibration of love, fear cannot create there.  If you find yourself making choices out of fear, stop yourself and breathe for a few minutes and invite more energy in with your breath to assist you to move towards the integrity of your own truth as a being who has a right to these high energies.  For too long we all have been so immersed in fear and separation it almost seems fanciful that we could actually live in a world that is focused on love, do you agree?  We see love beginning to be spoken about in the media, yet fear and division are screaming their heads off still.  Do not "take the bait"!  Continue to establish your own energy within your body, your self, as a sacred place of strength and peace.  The strongest army is the one that never has to go into battle.  Value your peace.  The struggles of what is going on in the world do not belong to you.  Do not internalize them.  Remind yourself that yes indeed, you are an energetic being of great power who has squeezed a portion of yourself into this body to have this experience.  By working with the breath just a few minutes a day you will increase your power and your sense of peace.

     In the athletic realm, professional dancers and singers have to know how to use breath in order to achieve the results they want.  They are trained and they consciously use breath in order to achieve at very high levels.  For the rest of us, using a conscious breath can improve our strength and stamina.  The other day I tried it myself while exercising on an elliptical machine.  After warming up for about 10 minutes I noticed my heart rate.  Then I applied the slower, deeper breath in the 4/4 sequence.  After a minute or so the indicator of my heart rate dropped 10%!  This is just one anecdote to show you that your breath and the way you use it can create powerful change in your body.

     Now another way of working with the breath is when you are resting.  For example, you can practice the 4/4 breath as a way to relax your mind before falling asleep.  Even if you fall asleep easily, you can spend just 5 minutes quietly breathing and intending that you connect with your higher self in dream state in order to gain assistance with any issue you may be experiencing.  Intend that you receive this assistance, after all it is your right to have it (one of the biggest problems on Earth is people not asking for assistance often enough because they don't believe it's is real.  It is!)  A variant of this technique is asking and intending that you will visit a 5th dimensional classroom in sleep state.  I have done this several times and it produces profoundly deep sleep, as it's very difficult to consciously process what you will be learning while you are there.  You may, as I have, experience being woken up at 4 am as you "come back" to your body after your "night school".  In sleep state we are all regularly travelling out of our bodies, it is often not put to use very well and many times we end up in various levels of the the 4th dimension or astral realm which is not what we are targeting here.  Trust that you can indeed direct your consciousness in sleep state just as much as when awake, what is there to lose in trying?

     What I have begun to explain here with this article is that the breath is at the root of all creation we are making here and now.  It is the vehicle on which we bring in the power to create change in our lives.  I invite you to try some of my suggestions, or create your own experiments working with the flow of the breath.  The key piece to keep in mind is to imagine yourself consciously drawing energy from that etheric portion of your energy field into your body.  Practice breathing deeply, engaging your diaphragm to use more than just the upper third of your lungs at least once a day.  It will give you more energy, which you can put into motion to create something new for yourself.  As you create anew you invite in more stability into your life.  And finally, with some effort and practice you will begin to live in the integrity of your total being, not just in what has been known to this point.  I encourage you to seek out breath work practitioners and try out different ways of working with the breath.  There are many great experiences waiting for you if you choose this path.  By going deeper with the breath each of us can claim more of our power to life vibrantly and create the circumstances we want to experience, and that my friends is truly stepping into living from the 5th dimension.


Blessings and happy breathing!
     

   

Be in the world but not of it- are you a body or in a body?

Fall reset 2016- Check your reality mirror

     Welcome to another edition of 5th dimensional times, I'm glad that you are here to explore a little further into the process of becoming aligned with the energies of 5D that we are all experiencing.  I have entitled this post "Fall reset" for a few reasons.  Let's go into that and discover more about how we can live with more ease and grace in this last third of 2016.

     There is a natural reset that occurs this time of year, especially in the Northern hemisphere.  The summer season is coming to an end (although here it Texas it's still going strong!), kids are returning to school and summer vacations are winding down as families across North America and Europe are returning to their regular work schedules.  I hope you have been able to take some time and enjoy the warmer weather and spend time with loved ones.  Connection is so important - connection to others, connection to the beautiful planet we live on and of course, connection to one's self.  Now, there is a further reset also going on with respect to the month of September that is also important to mention.

     August 30 to Sept 22 brings a mild Mercury retrograde period.  Some have already reported feeling it approach in the last week.  The main point is to be mindful of your actions.  Take care of and missteps- literal or figurative.  Double check anything involving papers, especially legal documents.  Retrograde periods often bring malfunctions to electronic equipment and autos, distracted drivers on the road, or minor accidents or mix-ups more than at other times.  Practise remaining mindful while out and about and also remain emotionally centered.  Retrogrades happen 3 to 4 times a year, so don't go into fear about them.  They are an excellent time to review and reset one's priorities before moving forward into new ventures.

     There are also 2 eclipses this month, on 9/1 (Solar eclipse in southern Africa) and 9/16 Lunar eclipse also in the southern hemisphere.  Eclipses have been purported to be about a temporary disruption in the flow of energies to the planet which can result in changes to the status quo of life.  I do not feel that these eclipses will have much of an effect in the northern hemisphere on life and business as usual.  Just keep in mind that they are occurring.

     Another event upcoming is the 9-9-9 on Sept. 9, 2016.  Many are proclaiming that this will herald some sort of abrupt ending, as the number 9 is about completion.  Keep in mind that our calendar is a man-made construct and does not correspond to cosmic time (kind of a misnomer, as time doesn't truly exist outside of this plane of consciousness!).  The whole year of 2016 becomes a "9" or completion year, so I expect 2017 to be where we will feel the initiation of waves of change in the "1" year that it will be bringing.

     All of this I bring to your attention because we are so programmed to look outside of ourselves for signs and signals that indicate change.  In fact, each of us is individually and collectively creating change through what thoughts and actions we choose to entertain.  Let's take a further look into what we can learn about our individual realities and how we can reset and refocus them for best results in this final period of 2016.  It is time well spent to "come off of autopilot" so to speak to create outcomes that are more to our liking, does that interest you?

     Anyone still living on the planet is within the vibrations of the 5th dimensions, no exceptions.  Many will argue that nothing has changed, and yet things are changing.  We are all working to create something better individually and collectively whether we are aware of it or not.  If you would like to have more conscious awareness and control of what you are doing then you are going to need to pay attention to the deeper and quieter messages your higher self is broadcasting to you.  They most easily are felt in the physical body or in the emotions.  Have you been paying attention and honoring those messages?  Remember that the goal is ease and flow.  If you feel that you are pushing things too hard to get results then it is likely you are operating out of habit of the old energies.  Do not chastise yourself, we are all doing this to one degree or another.  I am here to remind you that there exists another way, and it is your birthright to have it if you wish to claim it.

     To live most easily within this new paradigm of the 5th dimension it is important to keep things light.  Less is more.  Less stuff, more connection.  Connection to self, connection to others.  Prosperity needs to be redefined on this planet as not merely in material goods, but in the quality of loving connections, honoring one another and creating a sense of well-being, no matter what station of life you find yourself occupying.  No one is a victim of circumstance, in actuality we each are creating all that we see for ourselves.

     There is a popular aphorism that we are most reflected in the 5 people that are closest to us.  In a sense this is very true, for we choose who we associate with through our choices of friends, lovers and business relations.  Yes, it really is all your choice!   Now if something is not feeling good, we have the choice to change it, don't we?  Often we will choose to not do this because it seems too disruptive.  Examples are leaving a familiar job even though it doesn't honor who we are, or leaving a  romantic partner because we fear being alone.  Sometimes these changes happen to us, the job ends, the partner leaves anyway, etc.  And we go on, don't we?  Change is an opportunity for growth, to become more than we have been, and this is a choice too.  We do not have to change if we do not want to, yet can we be bold enough to want to discover more about ourselves while we are here on this Earth journey?  I am confident stating that none of us knows truly all that we are, so I believe that there is plenty of room for improvement, eh?

Being a conscious creator

     The world we inhabit is composed of vibrations of light and love.  Everything we experience is of that.  The vibratory signature that you and I send out determines what we will see, feel and experience.  It determines the type and the quality of interaction each of us have with it.  In a sense then, it is all about you.  Your intention and expectations do affect your experiences.  Now this can be tricky for many of us because we often find ourselves running on old beliefs from our past that continue to color our present.  This is an area we are all working on healing to one degree or another because we are learning to move our awareness into the present moment.  The 5th dimension is all about being within the present moment, fully conscious and acting from it.  We have all had moments of it, we call them miracles, serendipity, instant manifestation, etc.  The important point to make is that as we become more conscious, we are able to tap into our higher mind, our higher selves with greater ease.  In that instant things are transformed because we have made that connection.  It is not from our small self (ego mind) that we do this.  The small self wants what it wants.  It wants to be safe, it wants to feel like it is running things, but in reality it is not.  You are safe, you are loved, you are magnificent.  And like all of us, you have been trained to not believe it because you are a separate being, in a body, in a world that is often frightening.  Becoming a conscious creator means that we have to gently and firmly take a stand that there is more of us that we wish to invite into our awareness so that we can allow ourselves to receive the gifts that it brings.

     We come from energy, we are energetic beings while we are here, and we will return to energy once our journey is complete.  The difficulty that many of us are having is how to operate within a body in this environment, especially now that it is shifting so much.  You can expect that this shifting will come in waves of increasing intensity for many more years, so you and I had better get used to it!  Many different souls have been called to be here during this shifting of the Ages, this shifting of dimensions.  The author Delores Cannon (deceased) wrote about the 3 waves of beings that have come during this transition and they encompass people from newborns up to approximately 70 years of age.  Much work has already been done to set the stage for those just arrived and those yet to come.  It no longer is going to be about doing things as they've been done for centuries.  Suffice it to say that by each of us doing our best in consciousness choice we are adding to the human experience in order to facilitate the transformation of our DNA on a quantum level that will result in an entirely expanded way of being.  Each of us is part of this to whatever level we choose to participate.  I, for example work with writing to send out radiant energy to inspire people and encourage peace and balance.  My growth edge is to begin creating a video channel for myself so I can operate within the vibrant realm as well.  Others work in the etheric realm through prayer and meditation.  Remember, thoughts are things, and you can use your energy to pave a pleasant or tortuous path through your day.  It is your choice, as always.

Check your reality mirror

     Thoughts for moving forward:  First, the past is over.  Resist the habit of bringing it forward into your present moment.  You are not your history.  It is a story that we pass through as we go along, and we might have photo albums of pretty moments or emotional scars from difficult times.  Each moment is fresh, if we practise allowing it to be.  We are learning to become more integrated beings, not merely living in the mind, but in the heart center.  The keys to the Kingdom of each of us is opening our hearts first to ourselves, and then with those around us.  It requires having good energetic boundaries, and having gone forward on the path of commitment to yourself.  Take a half hour this evening after dinner and meditate on what you like about your life and what you do not like.  Write it down on a piece of paper or on the computer in a document you can save.  This can be a reference point for starting your process of change leading to your own transformation.  As much as some others may love you, they cannot do this for you.  It's your choice.  And if there is no one in your reality whose love you can feel at the moment, then that is the signal to turn up your love for yourself.  Get off of autopilot and list 3 things you can do this week to love yourself more and go do them!  By making this simple pact with yourself and acting upon it, you will get the attention of your higher self and unseen guidance to gladly participate with you.  They love helping increase the love in your life, so try them out!

     Make a claim for yourself.  True success and prosperity that you dream about is when you are in harmony with your soul.  The first step is to go from living from the small self to incorporating more and more moments with your higher self.  From there it is a much smaller leap to living in harmony with your soul.  Allow yourself to acknowledge your greatness as an energetic being.  I know it may seem silly, I just ask you to play with it in the innocence of who you really are.  Everything this is, begins with a dream.  Ask yourself to bring you a dream from your soul to your conscious awareness sometime in the next month.  All you have to do is ask with an open heart for a moment, and then you can go back to your day.  You can do this every morning or evening for a moment and things will happen.
   
     One other claim I thought you might like to invoke comes from the guides of the channel Paul Selig and his book "The Book of Mastery".  It's one that I like saying because I feel it helps to build a strong energy field for us of us, unhindered by what has gone by that we may have picked up along the way.  It is a call to freedom, to wholeness and I believe if one says it with conviction, it will have great healing effect upon you.  Here it is:
"I agree to know myself again in my knowing, in my worth, and I accept the abilities I have to lay claim to what is my birthright.  In this threshold of experience I find myself in, I make the choice now to claim independence from all external authority, all government or law, all claims upon the freedom of my soul that would limit me in my ability to grow.
     As I choose the opportunity to know myself in freedom, I release the chains of history, the bindings to society's requirements for who I should be, so I may be cloaked in the awareness, in the garment of the free woman I am, the free man I am.
     As I wear this garment of freedom, that has no state, no country, no race, no gender to know herself through, I am anointed, I am christened in my awareness of my true nature.  I am free, I am free, I am free. "

     Notice how this claim is an invitation to choice, making a new choice that is totally within one's own sovereignty as a free being.  It is not an invitation to break any laws or trespass against any other, it is simply a claim to allow your own self to be in possession of your freedom and right to be who you really are, here and now.  I imagine that this is difficult for any of us to comprehend, because it is about going into the unknown.  In the unknown it is where we will find our greatest gifts.  It is not a place of fear, it is a place of allowing more of us to be here with us in our current life so that we can begin to claim all of the gifts waiting for us.  So you can see that to live more fully in the 5th dimension and the great expansion it holds for us each, we will have to take a risk to go beyond the known.  Given how life has become for many in the present, it seems like the perfect risk to take, doesn't it?

     Begin again-Reset

     In this month of September, the conditions are perfect to do some self-reflection, looking within.  The energies are supporting all of us with this at this time.  Then look out and see who and what is around you.  Does it feel in harmony with who you are at this time?  Can we allow ourselves to get quiet and listen to the whisperings of our hearts?  Are we willing to take action upon those gentle currents of energy welling up inside of us?  Growth occurs where we are at, not at some imagined perfect point we might wish to be.  Use the energies present to join with yourself and be in the grace of all you have gone through to get to this now moment.  I am certain that you could tell some stories!  Give yourself the gift now of deeper connection to you, to your love for all you have been through.  You still want more, or you would not be here.  Add a few more planks to that bridge you are building to your higher self, and yell across that river of the "unknown".  Say:  "I am here, and I am coming to get you!"  Be excited about the possibilities for this.  Imagine a world where millions are waking up to the same process and be in joy for doing your part to bring a little more love to your life and to this world each day.  I thank you for each act you do to be who you truly are.



Blessings,



Robert

5th dimensional times: Choosing fear or love determines what you see now

Choosing fear or love determines what you see now

     I am writing this in the wake of 3 days of police violence in the USA.  First, two police shootings in the process of arrest in Louisiana and Minnesota and then a gunman making the choice to retaliate against police in Dallas without warning.  The reason that these incidents have had such an effect is that they were all broadcast nearly in real time over the Internet for millions to see.  Combined with the recent massacre in Orlando Florida and the numerous other shootings people are crying out for an end to this senseless violence.  How will it stop?  What choices can we make to end this cycle of violence?

     Most of us will never experience gun violence in our lives, yet over one million people have died in the United States by guns in the last 50 years.  Another 1.5 million have committed suicide in that same time.  Clearly something is out of balance and with our instantaneous news media being beamed to our devices wherever we are, we have now become hyper-aware that there indeed is a huge problem that has to be addressed.  Let's look at the roots of what I believe is behind all of this.

     As you know, I promote an understanding of the 5th dimension and its arrival onto the Earth plane once again.  The 5th dimension is all about standing in the vibrant energy of our true essence.  It is all about being who we truly are:  aspects of the Creator existing fully in love.  When a person commits a senseless violent act and takes another life, they have momentarily forgotten their holiness as an inseparable part of All that Is.  Since this is a planet of free will, all actions are allowed - even the taking of life.  That is not to say that Earthly justice will not be done, it will.  However, those who take life may likely face a heavy burden on their souls.  This has been part of the human experience for thousands of years.  It is said that none of us have been untouched by this in our many incarnations on this plane.  We have killed and we have been killed.  Some of you may recall lifetimes where you have died as martyrs for your causes.  Some know of loved ones lost in wars or on the streets of our cities.  It does not matter, we are all touched by it because we are all part of the human family, the human experience that is now moving to a higher octave.

     Presently it is estimated by myself and others that about 10% of the population of our planet is now attuned to some degree to 5th dimensional consciousness.  It is increasing, albeit more slowly than many had hoped.  Our collective desire to want change, while also remaining in the comfort of the known has slowed us down.  This cartoon I found the other day illustrates our collective dilemma:

     We are all awakening, and in this awakening we are seeing the effects of what we have created while we have been mostly unconscious over the previous decades.  Anyone who studies history will tell you that the last 100 years have been the bloodiest in human history, a time of truly barbaric actions across the planet.  Now we are looking here in the United States at a nation that is as divided socially and economically as it has ever been.  Fears abound and are bubbling to the surface.  Some say we need guns to protect ourselves from the tyranny of our elected governments.  Some say we must prepare, for the "end times" are coming.  Others say the killing must be stopped and want to abolish all weapons.  We live on a planet that is still 90% asleep to the massive changes that are already underway and are unstoppable.  And with that, those of us we are awakening to the truth of who we really are have to stay strong during this transition and project healing in whatever form to those around us, for just as Jesus Christ said when he was being crucified "Lord, forgive them, for they do not know what they do".  

     We really have no idea the power each of us has to create change and to become who we truly are, co-creators with G-d, All that is, or whatever you wish to term it.  It is said that we are at maybe 1/50th of our capacity as human beings, so we have much more to claim for ourselves.  This is the journey of consciousness raising that we are all on.  Many of us have returned to assist in this process, knowing beforehand fully how difficult it was going to be.  Progress has been made, and even more progress will be made as it is becoming easier for each successive generation to claim their divinity outside of the constructs of the world we have inherited.

Do you wish to see differently?

     I imagine that there are many of you who wish to see differently in the world, I know that I do.  I do not wish to see the violence, the discord, the rampant conflicts of a confused world that seems to be coming apart at this moment.  Now, in order to see differently each of us needs to continue to claim a part of ourselves that is now more available than ever - our higher self/divine self aspects.  What we currently see is a world that is lived primarily through the small self- the ego/personality aspects of self that we all know about.  To live at only this level will always bring conflict in one form or another.  Fear, and all of its derivatives, anger, jealousy, coveting what others have are some examples.  This is blindly promoted by our media because our media (Internet, TV, etc) primarily focuses on those aspects of self, only increasing the magnitude of these experiences across the world.  None of us is immune to seeing in this way, however I want you to know that there are other options for us to seriously consider as we move forward.

To release fear, grow love

     It is simple, what we focus on expands.  If you are feeding yourself a diet of worries and fears, you will attract to you those things that reflect and reinforce that preference.  Notice how you feel when you dwell on the negative.  Do you feel your well-being?  Do you feel peace?  Probably no is the answer.  We have to be careful gardeners of our thoughts and of what we take in from the world, while still remaining engaged with it.  In every moment we have a choice on how we respond to what we are experiencing.  Claim your power of choice to say no to that which disturbs your peace, your joy.  Guard those states of being for they are of great value to each of us.

     I was chatting with a friend recently about how we have been feeling numb and desensitized to all of the recent violence.  It was difficult to recall all of the recent tragedies as they have come in such quick succession.  I am certain we are all experiencing a range of feelings like this and it only serves to pull our vibrations lower.  Demand more for yourself to stop this cycle!  Start by practicing kindness to yourself and your loved ones in small ways.  Speak of the desire to create peace and share joys with one another.  In my life I have increased my exercise to reduce physical tension and I make sure to go outdoors and walk barefoot on the grass to ground myself and to enjoy nature.  Notice the rhythm of nature is healing to us and engage with it.  Limit negative speech by refocusing conversations with others onto what is good.  Many of us have the habit of speaking of others challenges or the negative news of the day.  Resist the temptation to add to the fear by keeping it alive through your words.  The next part of this is to work to claim an expanded perception of yourself as a powerful, capable, loving being by invoking your birthright as a being of love.

Inviting love into your life with the higher self/Divine Self

     In order to break the cycle of living at a level that is "less than", we need to examine more deeply the human condition and where we are in the present moment.  Being human means to experience a life as a human.  To be here means we all will experience change.  Some of it we will label good, and other times it may be labeled "not so good" or bad.  All experiences serve in your journey no matter how you may label them.  As a conscious being, we have choice, and we make choices based on all of the inputs we receive from life, along with our collected memories.  Where we are now going is to a place, a state of awareness that we do not have conscious memory of, maybe just a vague feeling or fleeting notion.  Through conscious intent and steady application we begin to ascend the spiral of consciousness and in doing so we move to what I term a refined set of experiences.  So often spiritual or metaphysical pursuits are used by many as another form of escapism.  To want to escape the discomfort of being human many delude themselves that by reading a book or taking a course or following a practise for a while, they will ascend, in some way placing themselves "above it all" or even will leave the planet in some hoped for ascension.  That is not the point!  You and I decided to come here and be in this experience for a full life, not to just check out prematurely.  Question yourself gently from time to time as to why you are doing what you are doing, and if it still serves you.

     You are not broken and in need of "repair".  It is just that we have all been led to one degree or another to misidentify ourselves as being something we are not.  It is as if you looked at your big toe and it was all you could see and pronounced to yourself " I am a big toe".  Well eventually you would come to understand that that toe is attached to a foot and the foot to a leg, and the leg to a whole person.  The same analogy applies to who you really are on the energetic level.  While our body is the focus of where our energy resides, it also exists around us, and is always connected to Source.  It is up to us to know this is true and then take the actions that will allow for us to claim ourselves in this higher octave.  This claiming is key to where we now are as a human family.  As each of us works to and is successful in opening ourselves through the vibrations of love already here in this 5th dimensional environment we exist within, we are building a new life for ourselves and also supporting the creation of the new Earth, the next stage of evolution on this planet.

     Now this claim cannot be made from the small self.  It must come through your willingness to open your heart so that you can transmit your claim of your divine self to become present and actively involved in your life, once you are willing to relinquish your small self's claim on the throne of your life.  This is an act of courage, because to do this means letting go of an idea that you can really know yourself in truth from the level of your ego and personality.  As one opens to the idea that more can be claimed beyond this, it will bring up massive resistance from the small self, which sees itself threatened with annihilation.  Do you see the parallels in the way much of the global culture is being experienced right now?  This is the macro mirror we all see when we tune in to it.  

     Now this is not to say that many, many wonderful things aren't also happening.  Many movements for peace and an end to violence are beginning to push through this haze of fear and anger.  People are waking up and saying "there must be a better way", "this violence must stop".  Of course there will be a chorus of people arguing for the limitations of humanity, that this is the way it's always been and it will exist as it always has been.  I heartily disagree.  Our collective impatience sometimes distracts us from our better nature, and now many awaken to new possibilities as the old, dead energy fades away and new generations are born.  Those who are but children now and those yet to come in the coming decades are a vanguard of not only change, they are the bringers of transformation.  A clear path has been laid for them by all of us being here and doing our service, no matter how large or small.  

Who the hell are you to think you are a Divine Being?

     To know the self is to go beyond the constructs of the experiences and choices we have made so far in our lives.  Does it seem presumptuous to dare to claim your our divinity?  If so, then you are hearing the voice of the small self guarding her kingdom.  This internal voice that argues for your limitations is doing so because it believes it will be annihilated by a dangerous world.  She runs a litany of examples through your mind as she says, "remember what they said on the news", or "that didn't work before so it's not likely to work now".  These are just a couple of examples.  You can entertain many excuses for not doing your work to continue to grow and that is a choice.  Are you happy with it or do you want more?  The more is now coming from practicing recognizing the still small voice within your heart that is always there.  Often it is drowned out by the small self, but you can hear it if you are willing to make time for it.  In my previous posting I also shared a claiming of the divine self that comes from the work of Paul Selig (www.paulselig.com).  Say it daily for a couple weeks several times a day and watch what happens to you.  It goes like this  "I know who I am in truth, I know how I serve in truth.  I am here, I am here, I am here."  By doing this you are making the claim of self to a much higher level than you ever have before, and it is your birthright to have it present in your life.  

     When you make this claim, you are setting into motion an invitation for your higher self/divine self to come into your life and affairs as you.  This is not an invasion, you invited it in because you know there is more to you than the story you have created for yourself thus far.  Be prepared however, to cleanse yourself of the accumulated dust and grime of who you are not, for there is only one captain at the helm of your life, you as the small self or you as your higher self.  The small self/ego will still exist, it just will not be captaining the ship of your life anymore.  You may find that your desires begin to shift to a simpler way of life as you do this.  Or, you may be inspired to go on a whole new path of creation in your life.  Either way you and I are in the process of becoming and coming into alignment with more of who we really are in truth.  We are peeling away the masks we have become so fond of for so many years.  This is the path of transformation leading to evolution.  It is truly the path of ascension that so many seek to have bestowed upon themselves.  There is work required and your intent is your choice.  No matter how you choose, you cannot choose wrongly.  All serves your path.  It is just that the more you are willing to choose consciously, the more likely it is that you will move into joy (journeying onward yielding to what you want) than fear(a very persistent and vivid illusion).

To heal the world

     Many people speak that their calling is the "heal the world", yet won't take the time to look at their own life and realize that starting there is the first point of action.  Yes, the world needs healing.  Absent of humans, the Earth could heal itself in a few hundred years all by itself.  She is that smart and that capable.  Heal yourself first.  Just as the safety program on an airplane says "put the oxygen mask on yourself before assisting others", help yourself to move into a space of allowing this energy that is you in higher form to claim you.  It will do the work that is needed as you allow it to come into your life.  Yes, it requires trust.  Yes, it is an unknown, yet you have experienced unknowns before and gone through them and now you are here!  So give yourself the gift of first knowing that this option exists, then exploring it for yourself.  We are so much more than we have believed ourselves to be.  Wouldn't it be fun to claim more of your power and get to live from that place?  I think so!

     Develop a small practice at first, so that you don't threaten your small self so much that she closes avenues for your growth.  As I mentioned, a few minutes of meditation early or late in the day is a wonderful practice.  Also, experiment with creating your next day before you sleep.  Make a short list of what you wish to accomplish and then sleep on it, allowing your unconscious to work for you.  Turn off the TV or computer an hour before bed and give yourself time to do this small work.  You can also connect with your partner in a gentle way before you sleep, taking those loving feelings with you to your bed rather than some random electronic transmission.  Start to believe that there is sacredness to your life and look for evidence of it.  Remember, what you focus on expands.  

     In the coming months and years there will be lots of distraction and noise as the 90% of us who are still asleep begin to grapple with the reality that being comfortably uncomfortable is not really much of a choice anymore.  Be the example by moving your life into resonance of the higher frequencies of the emerging Earth.  Bless the old Earth as it passes away.  It has taught us all so many lessons, ones that need not be repeated.  Join with yourself in whatever way you can, be willing to release the small self and invite in the real you to join in the unfolding of the next step of claiming your true inheritance, for it is not in dollars or Euros, it is in the light and love of your true being.

Blessings,

Robert

Many thanks to all those who contributed to my ability to write this, and to those of you who read it and are willing to consider exploring what has been shared.  I honor each of you on your path.  Aho!

Learning and knowing in the present - Ascension, terrorism, Earth changes

     Facts, beliefs, knowledge and finally wisdom.  These are things that we all contend with while living here on planet Earth.  And as we know, when facts and beliefs change, new knowledge will result.  If we are fortunate enough we gain wisdom that we can share in whatever manner we like.  So I would like to welcome you back to another installment of inspired (hopefully!) writing on what we are all experiencing now in this stage of life within the 5th dimension.

     My name is Robert and I will be your guide and teacher for this piece of important information as we now head into the second half of 2016, "The year of completion" as I have titled it in a previous posting.  My belief about being a successful teacher is to find ways to empower my students so that they can access their own innate wisdom and mastery.  This effort was inspired in large part by a conversation I had with a fellow teacher and facilitator of this work.  The more that is shared in truth, the more love expands, it cannot be any other way!

Where are we right now?

     It's been very interesting watching global events in the last couple months.  It is clear that existing paradigms of government and commerce are being pushed to make significant changes or face becoming obsolete.  This is not a small thing as these systems have been operating for in many cases more than a century and we have become quite used to them.  In addition, we continue to see more frequent and horrific acts of terrorism in the USA, Europe and the near east (Turkey), to mention only a few.  And thirdly, we continue to contend with climate abnormalities on a global scale, especially in the areas of drought/floods, and a lot of earthquake activity as well (Thankfully minor!) If one watches the news too much one can start to believe that we are approaching the end of days, we're not!

What is happening?

     We live on a plane of consciousness that is predominantly ruled by vibration.  As I have stated in previous postings, the Earth herself has successfully transitioned to the 5th dimension, a higher vibratory rate of its consciousness than we have experienced for thousands of years.  Most people on the planet are now bouncing between 3rd, 4th and 5th dimensional consciousness.  Consciousness is supported by the choices we each make, whether they be low or high vibration choices.  All is allowed and there are as many paths to home as there are people.  You know you are on track when you are feeling good, living in a flow and your heart is happy.  This is possible for anyone who truly wishes it and is willing to do their work.

     In a manner of speech, if you could imagine the whole surface of the Earth as a giant "living room" and we've all just ordered new furniture and the truck has arrived a day early and now we are rushing around clearing out the old furnishings in order to move in the new.  This is what is occurring.  And we know it will be uncomfortable for a while as we make this transition.  At the end of it we will have a much more appropriate and enjoyable living room.

     This process of creating the new living room is bringing to our attention the old issues within ourselves as individual persons that need to be cleared.  You cannot take your baggage with you and you would not truly want to anyway.  Less is more in the 5th dimension.  As I previously mentioned, it is also degrading institutions that were built on the foundation of the old energy, ones that simply will not last.  We see this as great political discontent in the U.K, and the U.S.A. and other countries as well.  This will continue for a number of years until a realignment is successful.  This is not another version of the "New World Order" that was nearly foisted upon us by those who use fear and control as their main tools.  In truth it is a new creation we are all making to represent the next step of transformation and evolution of human consciousness through the application of love.

Things to do
     As I write this at the end of June 2016 we are in a relatively quiet period of rest and integration.  The summer solstice that was on June 20 on the full moon ushered in quite a bit of unseen energies across the planet.  If you are feeling unusually tired this is why.  Remember to get into nature as often as you can.  Things that are extremely beneficial right now are:  going barefoot on the Earth(assists with grounding oneself and harmonizing the frequency of the body), swimming in clean water(natural springs, lakes, even ocean all assist in emotional balancing), watching sunrise/sunsets(the best time of the day to draw beneficial energy of the Sun into our bodies).  Consider that we have bodies that are perfectly designed to operate on this planet and it will make sense why these simple things are so perfect to do.  If you live in a large city of concrete and steel you can still find a park to connect to and if not you can visualize yourself consciously connecting despite being on the 22nd floor of your apartment building.

     The body is going through a lot right now and some are having major struggles.  Seek to keep yourself strong first before you give away your energy to another who cries out.  It may be their lesson that they have created for themselves.  Offer loving support and encouragement but resist the impulse to "rescue" another.  There are truly no victims here.

Creating your masterpiece

     As a teacher, a person such as this is also going through their process.  They have had to learn by experience so that they can offer assistance to those who in reality are only one step behind.  As the teacher acknowledges more of their own knowing, they move into greater states of love and truth and serve as lighthouses to others who are finding their way.  Much learning in fact is un-learning things that no longer serve.

     Consider the analogy of the sculptor carving the large block of granite into a beautiful statue.  The sculptor senses the masterpiece within the marble.  They are only removing the "excess" marble to reveal that which was already there in their mind's eye.  So it is with each of us.  Life takes our existence, our "hunk of marble" and fractures it, chips it, tumbles it and polishes it as we go along.  More and more we reveal to ourselves who we truly are and how we see ourselves.

     To create your masterpiece go into your heart and ask it what it wants next.  Then take a step into faith that your heart knows more than your head and start moving towards it, whatever it may be.  It is that simple.  We are each creating a new knowing of ourselves by taking a step into the unknown.  Trust that you will be provided for in perfect ways as you do this.  This is the leap of faith we all have to take if we are to grow, to go beyond the known.  Self-talk is also very helpful.  You have the right to command the ship of your life.  Do not expect others to do it for you.  Here is a beautifully simple thing you can say each day to align yourself.  It is from a book by Paul Selig, a prolific author and channel for simple spiritual truths.   Please say this now:  "I am now choosing to align my energy systems to the highest frequency available to me.  And I align myself to my own Divine Knowing and to the love and to the frequency of love that I now exist in.  I am Word through this intention.  Word I am Word."

     How does that feel to you?  If you notice it uses I am, which is the most powerful activator of Creator energy.  It also uses Word, which to me is a more complete term for vibration.  In the Christian Bible, book of John it also speaks of Word:  "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."  Creation, in my understand, began with light and vibratory frequency.  And so it will be re-created the same way.  The other night I saw a TV show about a deep undersea shark that hunts by finding the electrical vibration of its prey, something every living thing possesses!

Reject fear whenever possible

     We all know of our obsession with fear in all of its forms.  It is everywhere until we stop feeding it.  Simply put, fear feeds fear and love feeds love.  Since everything we witness was created by Word, it is truly love.  Fear is only a very persistent illusion that will fall away as we claim our mastery within the 5th dimension.  It cannot exist there.  As the living room is re-arranged on our Earth, there will be continuing last gasps of fear trying to hold on, a futile attempt in the energy we all now exist within.  We are each participating in the creation of a new human experience that is a quantum leap beyond where we have been.  Why else would we want to be here, to witness and to lay claim to our birthright!  This is not Rapture, this is not Apocalypse.  This is emergence of Terra Nova, the New Earth.  It is not being dropped on our heads, we are creating it!

     Go forth knowing that new possibilities for you to express your love are waiting for you to discover and live.  Value yourself and the love that is your essence.  Each of you are masters working to remember yourselves.  I honor each of you for being here during this tremendous transition and I thank you for each effort, for indeed it blesses us all.  May you be blessed on your journey and always in your true Knowing.



Have a great midsummer everyone!

The US presidential election - what does it mean from a 5D perspective?

     Greetings and welcome to another exploration of the unfolding of 5D consciousness on this lovely planet we call Earth!  Today I will be taking a look at the United States presidential election and offering you my thoughts as to what it means from the perspective of living on a 5th dimensional planet, one that still appears to be operating as it always has, but in fact is in the throes of major change.  It promises to be a very eventful Fall election season indeed!

     Why examine this election?  First and foremost, it is a perfect mirror for where mass consciousness is at this time.  By studying this event we can see the interplay of duality working on a large scale.  This by no means is not limited to the United States, it exists in similar forms across the globe.  Secondly, by examining this, one can decide how they will choose to interact with it.  Change is occurring and forms that do not resonate with truth are under increasing pressure to transform or be rendered obsolete and abandoned.

     I want you the reader to know that I do not implicitly support any specific candidate or political party.  My intention is to look at the energy behind these political movements for the purpose of creating more conscious awareness of the evolution that is occurring.  It is clear that evolution does not occur in a straight line, it takes many fits and starts, many failures before success is reached.  It is happening over many years, as much as some of us would like it to change in a year or two.  Overcoming the illusory nature of reality as we have believed it to be takes much preparation and many generations of souls doing their work upon the planet.  That being said we are in a period where we are likely to see some advances in shorter time frames, even if that means the dissolution of certain institutions and organizations we have taken for granted over the last century.

     Like any large country, the USA is composed of many different groups of people.  These people, like anywhere on the planet, are unique souls with varying levels of consciousness.  These varying levels of consciousness and education create many viewpoints that need to be mediated into a coherent pattern.  We call this government.  The great thing about the USA is its inspired constitution and its story.  It was created as a place to escape the tyranny of old Europe with a system of checks and balances built into its system of government.  Even so, in present time and for much of the last few decades it has been a tyrant itself, exerting its political, economic and military will across the planet, even to this day.  So, in this time of the early 21st century there is going to be a need for the USA to re-invent itself, so to speak, in order to remain true to its founding principles and thrive for the next century and beyond.  This convergence of re-assessment combined with the changing winds of political fortunes portends great change in the coming decades.  As more and more continue to awaken to the idea that they do not wish to support the status quo, the fuel for change is ignited!

     Now let's examine the candidates.  As of now they are Donald Trump(Republican), Hillary Clinton(Democrat) and Bernie Sanders(Democrat).  One of these three people will become the next President of the United States, a very important job.  Let's look at some of the adjectives that might be attributed to each person.

Trump:  Huge ego, ambitious, tactless, narrow-minded.

Clinton:  Tenacious, ambitious, mentally tough, experienced.

Sanders:  Principled, idealistic, compassionate, wisdom.

     All of these people are intelligent and capable individuals with decades of experience to draw upon, yet in current polling the two front-runners (Trump and Clinton) have the most unfavorable ratings of anyone running for President in the last 35 years.  Many see this as a choice between the "lesser of two evils".  Perhaps it is not as bad as a totalitarian or autocratic state but it is definitely not how many would have hoped.  Why is this?

     In my view, both Trump and Clinton represent the old order.  This means that they both operate from a strong mental basis and see the current system as something they can "steer" in a way based on their positions and constituency.  They are both enamored of power for its own sake, make no mistake.  Sanders, on the other hand, sees the struggles of common person, and for his whole career has fought for the working class, for which the media has branded him a dangerous Socialist.

     Let's dig deeper.  As I've written in previous postings, the current time period is the returning and re-living of the last days of the Atlantean energy upon the planet, to be resolved through mediating with the Lemurian energies, which also have and equal claim to the human experience.  I identify both Trump and Clinton holding the flag of the Atlantean energy, and Sanders holding the Lemurian energy.  The first is all about mental strength- what you think, not what you feel.  Trump has famously shown that he does not put much value in other's feelings except to inflame negative ones, and Clinton is often accused of having no true definable position except that which her campaign advisers feed her.  Sanders, however, strikes a chord of compassion, eliciting millions of small donations, even having a bird land on his podium during on speech.  The implication is that he attunes to the feelings of many people and of nature itself.

     The assertion I am making is that we in the United States are in the midst of a transitioning of energies of change, from old to new.  This is not merely a generational change, it is an energetic change.  As the older people retire and pass away they are yielding to younger souls with a stronger connection to their sovereignty as spiritual beings living a human existence and they will demand changes be made to align to that innate impulse.  The older generations typically compartmentalize their spiritual energies in affiliation to certain religions and practices at prescribed times.  The souls that have been coming to life on Earth in the last 15 years and in the coming decades are already attuned to being here because this is a 5th dimensional planet.  In the ensuing years we will see turbulence to one degree or another as the old yields to the new.  This will be reflected in governance and political systems not just in the USA but all across the planet.

     It is a given that change occurs.  Most change in the previous half century has been in material comfort for the most part.  However, this is a planet that is in the midst of a great shift of consciousness that will not be usurped by the maintenance of a political or economic status quo.  We as a human species have collectively asked for this change at a soul level and have been making choices as to how it unfolds.  That said there are likely to be a series of critical junctures that will arrive to spur the process onward.  People all over the world are demanding change, while the current system works to placate the masses, it is losing its grip on that as more becomes known about the failings of current systems of government.  No one side has a monopoly on truth, it will be up to the people to decide how to mediate the system through active participation in creating new pathways for people to cooperate with one another while retaining their right to their personal sovereignty.

     As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, we are seeing a reality mirroring back to us where the ego rules, control systems are favored, and where the desire for a more compassionate and just world is beginning to be heard.  These are aspects of the Atlantean and Lemurian energies engaging one another in order to mediate.  It is not about one aspect conquering the other.  Both are needed in a new way, for this new point in time.  The small self (ego) will always endeavor to protect its small kingdom, because it knows no other way.  As we continue to move forward and embrace the unknown of being guided by our heart energies because we trust that part more, we will open to a new way of living and being on this planet.  It will happen, in reality it has happened.  All that there is to do is to cultivate the space within ourselves to allow it to manifest.  Are we ready to take the risk of wanting better at the expense of giving up the known?  That is the question facing each of us individually and collectively at this point in time.

     The manner in which we have created societies, nations and states upon this planet has been based on a system of energy that is no longer supported.  You could say, "well things are much as they have been", but are they?  The energies that are now currently rooted on the planet are those of 5th dimensional consciousness.  All one needs to know about that at this point is that creation is now based on living on vibrant energy (L.O.V.E.)  This means that we are invited (and perhaps challenged) to go beyond a world created by ego(small self) that has love intermixed in it, to a world created by L.O.V.E. with the small self taking a subordinate position.  Looking at the candidate Trump we have a perfect example of one who is totally driven by ego and separation.  He promotes separation with his xenophobic campaign promises and it resonates with all of the other small selves who are in fear.  Clinton is mostly neutral in this area.  She promotes more of the status quo with incremental changes.  This is likely based on her many years of experience with the slow pace of change in government.  Sanders promotes a benevolent vision of caring for people without an explanation of how that can be achieved.  He gives voice to compassion and fairness in how government serves its citizens.  While he is unlikely to succeed facing the entrenched monolith of the current system he is laying the groundwork for awakening many in the younger generations and this is creating more possibilities for the future.

How will this affect us individually?

     If we are honest with ourselves, for the most part the person who becomes President does not limit our choices in life.  Yes, one leader or another may raise or lower taxes, may start or end a war.  They may promote policies that some support and others oppose.  In our day to day lives we here in the USA still have the freedom of choice on how we will choose to live and work.  We are able to participate in shaping the political process if we choose, or not.  My guides have told me explicitly that it is the wish of all persons to improve their lives.  Here we can have a basis of agreement when we select those who will represent us.  It begins with the choices we make within our own families and communities and radiates upwards to states and nations.  It is not top-down as we are often taught to accept and believe.  In the energies of 5D the more we each take responsibility for what we are experiencing and choosing to not pretend we are victims of circumstances outside ourselves, the more we are each reinforcing our alignment to where we truly reside in the present.

     In six months time we will know who has been chosen to lead.  In the meantime, instead of becoming distracted by the political deluge, trust yourself to focus on supporting the candidate that best aligns with the energies of the reality we now exist within - the 5th dimension.  This applies to all candidates for office.  Listen to your greater self when making your choices, and avoid making choices based on what the small self alone may cry out for.  Either way, we are moving forward.  Choose the energies of peace, of grace, of harmony.  They will serve you well.

   
   Blessings,
