2008...THE YEAR OF NEW BEGINNINGS AND THE BEGINNING OF COMMUNITY...A NEW WORLD ARRIVES...WHEEEEEE!
The What's Up On Planet Earth?
Greetings!
As 2007 draws to an end, there is much to recap and explain, as well
as much to report about the energies and occurrences yet to come for
2008all so very exciting and as always, so perfectly and divinely
orchestrated.
In this energy alert you will learn:
Why 2007 was a challenging year for many and why this phase is now over;
Where we are in our spiritual evolutionary, or ascension process;
Some manifestations of how our ascension process has been affecting us;
How we are beginning to live and vibrate as the ancients did;
What is ahead for 2008, and believe me, it is truly awesome;
How we have "earned" what is to come, why it is now time, and how it
will unfold.
So what in the world has been going on these past few weeks, or even
months, and why is does much of everything feel so chaotic,
disjointed, dark and harsh, confusing, stressful and overwhelming, and
just plain exhausting?
On the solstice, Phil and I were blessed to spend time at our favorite
ancient ruin, exploring, as we always do, the effect and patterns that
the solstice brings in regard to the alignments that the ancients
meticulously created within their communities.
The ancients knew so much, and this particular site contained the
purified energies of the very original ancients...the energies that
still embodied the blueprint of the innocence, of true power and
connection to Source, of a most pristine nature.
We have found some truly amazing places at this site, and if one is to
stand in the direct center of an alignment of three pivotally marked
yet hidden points, where the sunset or sunrise intersects on pivotal
dates, a common effect is experienced.and this same effect can be
found during the equinox as well as the solstice.
The effect is one of feeling a distinct zero point. Phil and I have
discovered that the solstices embody the masculine energies and the
equinoxes embody the feminine, and the ancients knew this very well,
as do, I imagine, many of you. Their individual sites were designed
around this pattern, as well as other repeating patterns, and all the
sites in an area even follow a similar pattern through the way that
they connect to one another.a perfect microcosm.
The equinox or feminine energies usually embody the experience of
moving forward, when much is in alignment and balanceequal hours of
light and dark in a day. Thus, a balance. The masculine or solstice
energies embody the experience of going deep, excavating, and
preparing for what is to come. They reach far. This pattern I will
describe further on in regard to how we have been affected by it in
past weeks and months.
I cannot begin to describe to you what it feels like to be in the
center of a zero point. I suppose it is similar to the empty energy in
between a thought, or a stand still feeling when everything seems to
stop, or perhaps similar to an extreme experience of feeling divine
and pure love. For me, there is a perfect balance, with no pulls, no
pushing, no reaching, nor any heaviness, or density. A feeling of
almost weightlessness and a perfect alignment to a higher dimension,
reality, or a more higher vibrating true perception. An incredible
stillness and connection at the core.
I tell you all this for good reason, as it so precisely relates to
what we are currently experiencing with the energies of late. The
ancients were very savvy about alignments. They created grinding
slicks in the paths of the alignments, which we have found are
wonderful markers and validations of where these alignments were located.
When Phil and I discover a grinding slick in any area, we become so
very excited as we know we are onto a power spot. Or when we discover
an alignment, we always look for grinding slicks in its path. And at
times we simply follow the energies, talk to the ancients, or find
ourselves at the power spots, and always, there will be a grinding
slick nearby.
Through dimensional travel and validation from visits from local
archaeologists, we have found that the ancients used these grinding
slicks (smooth spots on large rocks), to grind specific elements at
specific times when there were alignments to the heavens present. The
elements that were ground, thus contained the purified energies that
the alignments contained, and hence, these elements (whether they be
corn, crystals, stones, etc.) then held an incredible amount of true
power and connection.
So what does all of this have to do with our current energies of late
and how we are being affected?
As we progress forward with our spiritual evolutionary process, or
ascension process, the energies greatly heighten on a regular basis.
In this way, the planetary and celestial interactions can be felt much
more intensely, as they intensify exponentially with every energy shift.
In addition, we are becoming more much aligned with Source as we are
purging and releasing denser energies within and without. This process
then creates a more heightened sensitivity within each and every one
of us. You may have found in recent years or months that much of
everything is now just too harsh for you to bear. It may become more
and more difficult to interact with the old, or to even go outside. It
may appear that there are fewer and fewer boundaries between you and
your environment, with nowhere left to go for reprieve or rest. As the
density dissipates, so do the boundaries!
One reason we become more sensitive is because we have dropped many of
our defense patterns and behaviors that were needed in a 3D reality.
So now, here we are evolving into a more enlightened and spiritually
advanced human with heightened sensitivities, and still having to
reside in a harsh environment created from the old 3D mindset! This is
but one of the many challenges of the ascension process.
So then, the solstices and equinoxes can affect us much more fully as
time goes on than in years past. The solstice of June, 2007, and into
this current solstice of December, 2007 created a time of great
purging, personal excavating of our old outdated patterns, and most
recently, an intense time of balancing. We are in a great time of
balancing now, because much of the old is about to depart at a rapid rate.
This was a very long period of readiness in preparation for what is to
come in 2008. The longer and more intense the readiness period is, the
more grand and awesome is the period that follows. So know that
although at times we believe that things will never change, and that
we may feel as though we have not made any progress at all, these
seemingly strange patterns of ascension are always and most certainly
doing exactly what they were intended to do, and we are progressing
right on course as was divinely planned. Things only get really bad
when things are about to get really good. This has always been the way
of ascension. Like two ships passing in the night, we experience the
extremes in both directions.
If we are digging deep, having much trauma and great challenges, and
being stretched to the limit, it is because we are being prepared to
be in alignment with a very new world and new reality, and this I will
describe further on as it relates to what will arrive in 2008.
The energies heighten, we create on the outside what is within us much
more easily and frequently, we experience challenge and what appears
to be struggle, we see and adjust, we become aware, and thus, we
prepare for what is ahead. In addition, we try and create, the time is
not ready yet, we are stopped and barred from creating at all, we
adjust and re-align during this period, and then are more prepared and
ready to create with a higher vibrating version or vision when it is
again time to create the new again.
When we are in a purging and releasing stage, we are nearly totally
engulfed with what we are releasing (for ourselves as well as the
whole), which can then feel dark, harsh (because we are now more
sensitive and vibrating lighter), and overwhelming. We can feel
overwhelmed because we create much more rapidly and with much more
ease the higher we vibrate. In addition, we are being "squeezed" by
the higher vibrating energies, which are pushing out any lower
vibrating or denser energies which can no longer reside in this new
and higher vibration.
And as we are releasing and engulfed in the denser and darker
energies, as they are up and out, we then begin to create unpleasant
scenarios for ourselveswe create according to the filters that we are
seeing through at the time.
All of these scenarios were brought on by the advent of the influx of
higher vibrating energies which arrived in March of 2007. We then had
to match them in all of our totality.
So then, this period of the past six months or so has been a very long
one of preparation. Remember when those heightened energies arrived in
March of 2007? Remember all that we created at that time? Remember how
everything simply fell into our laps, all was beautiful and it felt as
though we had arrived in heaven?
This ascension pattern in always the same. The higher vibrating
energies arrive, we feel awesome indeed, and then we must get into
alignment with them.
What immediately followed in June was a period of going deep in order
to adjust our energies to match more fully what we wanted to create.
September 11th brought in a portal opening for grasping and aligning
with even more new visions and opportunities, and then December 12th
created an opportunity for the zero point of balance to be embraced
and utilized within us. 12/12 was quite a pivotal moment, as we had
now reached a point in our evolutionary process (resulting from all
the challenges and struggles of the weeks and months before) where we
could now be allowed access to a dimension or higher vibrating reality
of balance and a more secure connection to Source through this balance
or alignment.
What the universe has been supporting us with these past few months,
or giving us the opportunity to do, is to reach that zero point of
alignment within ourselves. This manifested as experiencing friction
with others as we very severely attracting individuals into our spaces
who vibrated in an opposing way. If we were extreme in any way within
ourselves, and needed some tweaking to balance ourselves out, we would
attract an energy that vibrated severely in the opposing way. As
frustrating and challenging as this was, energy simply does what
energy does, through the law of attraction. And balance has indeed
been the theme of late, more than ever before.
During this time of transition and preparation, we may have felt as
though we did not know where in the world we belonged. And we may not
have felt that there was anywhere left to go either. With so much
darkness and density leaving and flying around, it often felt as
though we were living in a dark pit of hell. Eeriness, creepiness,
horror, and the like could be felt for months. We were simply viewing
the world though the filter of everything that was up and out, making
its departure.
This also created a long period of time where we were not at our best.
For many, the darkest side of us was more present than usual. We were
tempted to blame much on others and on what was outside of ourselves,
not realizing fully and remembering that we always create on the
outside what we are perceiving or vibrating on the inside. There is no
room for error here, so in this way, what arrived for us was simply a
valid and accurate indicator of what was inside of us, giving us once
again an opportunity to see who we really were and how we might be
affecting others.
Although these times are trying, and have felt as though all the
ugliness that existed anywhere was here to stay, they are always great
jewels as well. I never experienced so many aha's than I have these
past few weeks and months. I finally told my mother, "I don't think I
can fix any more things inside of me!" But what happens with
ascension, is that we become aware during these times of heightened
energies and illumination, and usually take several more months and
even years to actually balance ourselves.
The ascension process is always very gradual, even though at times it
may not seem so. And "fixing" anything never usually works anyway, as
letting go is usually the best way. Focusing on the negative, old, or
lower vibrating manifestations by "fixing" them only makes them real,
keeps them alive, and gives them fuel to continue to exist. Gradually
letting go and allowing the new to enter more fully is much more
effortless and is a pattern that vibrates higher as well.
During times of excavation and purging, we become more aware that we
often created from arrogance. As we progress more and more through our
spiritual evolutionary process, our arrogance and ego based states
leave us more and more. This part takes time, as we needed our
arrogance and ego states to survive in the old 3D reality, and still
need bits of them now.
The zero point that our souls are supporting us in arriving at means
no extending, no effort, no making things happen, no intentional
giving, and so forth. It means standing still in our center and
allowing the flow to move through us and extend onto others.
So now here we currently find ourselves, fairly exhausted, perhaps
wondering who we are, what our power might be as much of our old power
can no longer exist, in what may feel like a weakened state, and
perhaps even wondering what will happen next, as just when we think we
have arrived in heaven and will forever stay, hell pops up one more time.
But awesome energy and wonderful experiences are on the very near
horizon. As of December 23rd, we begin the upswing. As I write this,
it is the 23rd of December and Phil and I are commenting on how
strange we feel today. Extremely relaxed, light, sleepy, craving naps,
and a bit drained. This is the beginning of the upswing. This is
because we have completed a very long phase of transmutation through
ourselves. Feelings of floating around, spaciness, lethargy, and
yawning, are indicators of the end of one phase and of the beginning
of a very new one. We should all feel exhausted, drained, and weary,
as we have fulfilled our spiritual plans for the planet very well indeed!
This was an intense preparation period. And another occurrence that is
fairly common during this phase is the loss of some of our animal
companions who have been with us for a very long time. They embody our
old energy. They were a part of our old lives and our old selves. In
this way, they choose to leave, as they no longer fit with what is
soon to arrive. This is a great crossing over period and it manifests
in many different ways. As we cross over, at times, we do not take
everyone and everything with us. But know as well, that the
preparation period lasted so long in order for as many as possible to
be given the opportunity to adjust their energies to be more fully in
alignment with the new.
As we progress through this amazing ascension process, more and more
of the whole is embraced and swept up into the higher realms. Those
who were never affected by those old familiar and strange ascension
symptoms in years past will be touched now. More and more will be
awakened. We are now ascending in larger and larger groups. Remember
when we felt as if we were the only ones and so very alone? These
ascension experiences can no longer be denied, as so many are having
them. And because of this, our store-fronts will be assured. There
will be many who will need assistance. Our gifts and offerings will be
desired and appreciated by much more of the whole.
What is our next stop on the ascension train, and where will we soon
land in 2008?
2008The Year of New Beginnings
Reaching zero point within ourselves is an important step in aligning
with community living. How many of us have embodied the dream of
living in spiritual community, being part of a beautiful and special
whole, being seen and acknowledged for who we are, and living our
lives more connected than ever to Source?
As we reach the year of 2008, 2007 will appear as a dream of long ago.
It will appear as a place that we dimly remember, with lives and
experiences that we can only access through a fog of vague
familiarity, and a place that contained aspects of ourselves that seem
to have belonged to someone else.
We will be starting new, with a very new beginning, and in a very new
way that has yet to be experienced in recent lifetimes upon this
planet. It will be a time of seeing our dreams manifest before our
eyes, and these dreams will be the dreams of an individual who is more
strongly connected to Source than ever before. These will be dreams of
the wholedreams shared by all of us, yet dreams containing our own
special vibrations and contributions, gifts, and talents.
We will be finally meeting together as one. We will unite as a whole.
We will then be able to commune within community.
Enough of us have caught up with each other, so that we are now one
indeed. This means that there are no more icons, leaders, guides,
individuals carrying much of the whole upon their own more evolved
shoulders, and no more disjointed separations from one another.
We have reached a certain level of critical mass, where we are now
blending as a whole, while still embodying our own distinct vibrations
that contribute to this whole. In this way, we can then support each
other on a continual basis, share and distribute any perceived
burdens, and balance out, blend together, and rejoice in each other's
company!
This vision, knowingness, and reality that I see so very clearly,
brought great tears to my eyes. It is a dream that I have long been
waiting for. I can barely believe that it is finally here. The sense
of relief, joy, let down, and ecstasy I feel is difficult to describe.
We have been carrying so much of the higher vibrations within us for
so very long. This has created shoulder pain of late (as we are
finally releasing the burden of responsibility), the oh so familiar
Buddha belly, weight gain (as we needed to embody so much within us
and hold it there), and exaggerations in personality traits.
We had to be larger than life, as we vibrated so much higher than
most. In order for each and every individual vibration and trait (or
gift) to contribute to the whole of a new reality, we had to embody it
in great amounts. These vibrations and individual traits within us (or
our special roles), had to be large and intense enough to bring up the
entire vibration of the planet, therefore contributing to the creation
of this very new reality. Each and every one of us was on board with
this. We were very strong indeed, and dedicated to our roles in
vibration, even if these exaggerated traits within us irritated others
and drove them crazy at times!
But now we can rest. We can become one with each other. We can let
down. We can release all the energy which we needed to hold, as it is
now being embodied much more by the whole. And in this way, we are now
finally ready for community. In community, we need only utilize our
gifts and talents when they are needed. We need not be "on" 24/7. And
reaching a zero point within ourselves, where-by we balanced out these
energies that we had been embodying in over-exaggerated amounts, was a
vital part of this process.
Now that we can let down and let go, we will find that we can really
begin to enjoy each other more and more. We will find in times to
come, that we will notice, be grateful for, allow and receive, and
welcome with open arms the gifts, talents, and contributions of others
as we will no longer need to be so very focused on holding and
vibrating our own.
We have indeed reached a new level of reality. And this will indeed
create a time of new beginnings.
Because we have reached this new and vital stage of realitybecause so
much will now be able to change, because so much has shifted, we can
know with complete certainty that it will absolutely be a time of new
beginnings. New beginnings will be the only viable and logical option now.
We will experience new beginnings in relationships. Partnerships that
were destined to remain intact will experience a re-birth of sorts. It
will be as if they are starting anew, with two new people in different
roles, now being able to distinctly and simply enjoy each other. No
more relationships revolving around growth and change, but now
revolving around enjoyment, pleasure, fun, and a great love and
appreciation for each other.
With so many individuals on equal turf now, the burdens will be
lessened to a large degree. We have now met up in the same place,
with a new equal distribution of how we hold and distribute our
energy. We will feel like brothers and sisters as never before. No one
will be holding more energy than another, and this alone, will greatly
assist in remedying the exhaustion and weariness of manyespecially
the first wavers.
Our new passions and store-fronts will begin to appear as if by magic,
and we will barely be able to keep up with it all. We will be asked to
fulfill our soul purposes. And because we have been waiting for so
long, we will be ready to fulfill them.
We will begin to congregate in families or pods of community. Those we
hold dear to us will become vital parts of our special communities or
families. We will begin migrating together and congealing together as
small like-minded communities, as we also congeal with the whole in a
more limited way. This is the pattern that the ancients knew as well,
as it goes back through eons of time, to the time of our ancestors and
our star families.
We will begin to utilize the things we need in a much localized way.
Higher vibrating communities stay in alignment with their surroundings
by utilizing their surroundings in their everyday life building from
local materials, eating locally grown foods, etc., and matching the
specific energy of the area with their own. As the old systems begin
to fall, local will be the norm. All this in divine right order, as
being in alignment with our surroundings, helps to create that zero
point and opens us to a continual portal of higher vibrating energy.
And with outside systems falling, we will naturally progress to this
way of being. Old creations that will be departing will only fully
depart when new creations are ready to take their place. This is a
natural way of evolution.
A lightness will begin to be felt, as much density has departed (for
this latest phase anyway!). This lightness can manifest as a floating
feeling, as an emptiness, or even a loss of who we thought we were.
But with so much having now departed within us, all the higher
vibrating things will have more room to be present, much happiness and
joy will abound, all our needs will seemingly be met, and we will
begin anew with a clean slate, in a very new space, and what may feel
like a very new reality before us.
Much of what we had begun or what had entered our consciousness as a
possibility in March, will now manifest in form as we are now a
vibrational match for it. And you may have even entertained thoughts
about going in a different direction, changing your plans or
relocation areas, as the energies were simply not making much sense
for awhile. But know as well, that we transmuted much for the whole,
through ourselves, as we always do.
Will there still be times of turmoil and distress in 2008? Absolutely
yes, but we will be above them. It will be as if two realities exist,
as there will be a great and distinct separation between the two. One
world will exist in a heavenly state of bliss, community, union, near
immediate manifestation, brotherhood and sisterhood, and a great
connection to the earth and the heavens. The other reality will still
be present for those who have not yet come to a place where they are
ready to let go and receive the new.
As the residents of the reality that is crashing and continuing to
manifest a revolving door of unpleasantness and seemingly horror begin
to separate themselves, ask for something different, and question the
old, they will then arrive at the dimensional gates of the new
reality, where they will be greatly assisted by those of us who are
utilizing their much needed store-fronts and lovingly waiting for them.
So then, we will be residing in our new communities for the large
part, offering our gifts and talents there on an equal basis with the
whole, and spending a bit of time as well interacting with those who
are finding themselves on the dimensional line, readying to cross over.
And some will visit what is left of the old world, as they serve in
regard to their store-fronts, but not for long as higher vibrating
energies cannot exist within lower vibrating energies for too long, as
they become ill, lost, depressed, and anxious. Maintaining a continual
state of love is the perfectly planned protection which will determine
the length of each visit.
Will all of this scenario happen immediately? No. Some will begin the
community lifestyle sooner than others. When new information first
touches us, it usually takes awhile before it manifests completely in
form. A higher vibrating seed is planted, and then it must grow into
fruition.
So if you have felt a sense of completion of late, with a letting go
and letting down, a readiness for a rest, or a strange sense of
"finally!," you are most likely tapping into this latest grand shift.
Our time is finally here, and this time it is here in the grandest way
yet. I eagerly look forward to continuing to report to you the latest
energy news, along with news of defining and utilizing the special
purposes of our souls. And Phil and I will be going on the road from
time to time, offering talks and information about what our ancient
ancestors want us to share. Hoping to see you in 2008and wishing you
the best year yet.www.whatsuponplanetearth.com
Wishing you heaven in your heart, starlight in your soul, and miracles
in your life in these miraculous times...
Until next time,

For Your Reading Pleasure Today
A book excerpt from Remembering Your Soul Purpose:
"IN THE HIGHER REALMS, all only exists if we entertain thoughts
of it in our consciousness. If we do not believe something exists,
or do not believe in it and make it real, it will simply not exist
as we are not giving it any energy. Time is very much in the moment
in the higher realms as well. Anything not in our consciousness for
that moment is simply gone. And remember, this ties in as well to
our very quick manifesting time now.
At times during the ascension process we may not remember who
we spoke to or what we did yesterday and even hours before. What
happened last week or that morning may seem like it occurred a
lifetime before. We are living very much in the moment now, and can
literally begin creating fresh within each moment and at the dawn of
each new day. What remains consistent for us then is only what we
choose to keep in our consciousness on any regular basis. It is what
we choose to keep a connection to. As for the whole, we also create
realities according to what the majority or collective are believing
and buying into and keeping alive.
On this note, then, the same is true for people. What we focus on in
them and what we believe they are about and who they are, brings that
into our reality and experience. Now more than ever, people will enter
our lives who are matching our own vibrations in some ways. In the
higher realms, like energy attracts like energy very rapidly and
becomes our realities. There are always pieces and themes of common
ground between all those that are in our lives. We may seem more of
one particular trait when we are with our friend John, and more of
another trait when we are with Leslie, and so on.
What does all this mean? It means that we can literally create and
mold people to who we believe they are. If we see their highest form,
then that is how they will manifest to us when we interact with them.
If we see their darkness, then the same. And in these new higher realms,
we are seeing more and more of each individual's highest selves. What
we focus on becomes real.
Several years ago I began a new contract with a school district
working with a severely physically disabled young man in a Junior
High school setting. This being had a history of inappropriate and
defiant behavior and his identity and power came from acting out and
getting into all kinds of trouble. That seemed to be all he was about.
My first step involved consulting with staff and the vice principal
regarding putting a new identity in place for him. Their usual
response to him when interacting and passing him in the hallway was,
"Have you been staying out of trouble lately?" or communications to
a similar effect. I encouraged them to instead focus on his new
achievements as he was just learning to read and write and had begun
to write for the school newspaper. This alone worked magic. He began
to get a new image of himself and eventually that was who he became,
as well as being highly revered and respected for his new talents.
We can now take this phenomenon to even higher levels as we are
now in the higher realms. Remember, manifestation time is very rapid
now. What we think about and believe can show up in our space in
immediate "time." And in addition, with much of our density and the
lower vibrational aspects of ourselves having dropped away through
the ascension process, we are now glowing brightly more and more as
our true divine selves are most certainly rising to the surface.
Eventually, our higher selves are all we will see in each other and we
are growing closer and closer to this reality every day.
In addition, through arriving in the higher dimensions, we are able
to see very clearly who our soul brothers and sisters are in the
physical.In these higher vibrational realities, it is beautifully
different. It is as if the veil has been lifted and we suddenly
decided to remove our masks and reveal ourselves to each other.
"I remember you now! Remember what we came to do? How has it
been for you?", we may exclaim. And the feeling and remembering of
coming home to our closest family and seeing who they really are is
simply indescribable (and quite emotional!)."
May the offerings from What's Up On Planet Earth? serve to light
your path, validate your experience, and remind you that we are
all one. Thank you for your continued interest and happy reading!
