Happy New Year! I believe it’s going to be a wonderful year and we will finally see the results of the work that we have been doing for decades. Don’t look for too many changes in January though, this month we’re setting the foundation for what is to come. This is a time for intention, balance, consideration, alignment and integration. We’re creating the boundaries for our path; the action and movement will come later. Although we want to jump out of the starting gate as soon as we think the wheels are beginning to turn, to get away from what has been limiting us but that’s like taking a trip without knowing where you want to go, or how you are going to get there and whether there is enough gas in the car to even get started.

I feel your excitement, my dear. The evidence is now out there and available to everyone. The CABAL is EXPOSED, at last. Yes, it has taken a long time, but it had to be thorough and understandable. Now the facts speak for themselves. It is the duty of everyone to acknowledge the true facts and act accordingly. You, the people, can now see how you were enslaved to a corrupt regime. You do not even own your property; you are only the tenant. Nor do you own your car. You have never been told the truth about anything. Even your children belong to the state: which can and does remove them at will.
As I have told you before, the POPE claims to own the entire planet. Again, I remind you, "nothing is as it seems". Look at the evidence for yourselves. It is now time to stop being slaves. The truth will set you free, and the truth is there for all to see. Dr Leonard Coldwell has done the research for you. It is time for you to study it for yourselves. You must admit that it was a very clever plot. You were all taken in by it. Now, you are being given every opportunity to step out of bondage and reclaim your heritage.
Michael Tsarion has also been showing you when and where all this deception began, and how it was planned 2000 years ago. You have been fed LIES about who you are, and from whence you came. The planning that went into this takeover of humanity is remarkable. No stone was left unturned. They set their goals high and they almost achieved it. We, in Spirit, could not allow this to happen. We have endeavoured to show you what was being done to you. Now, you are waking up in your thousands. You no longer accept what you were told in the past.
Challenge everything: stop just accepting that it's the law, and accept that the law does not protect you or yours: it only protects the corporation. It is time to unite and come together. The Cabal cannot operate without your cooperation. So ask yourselves, WHO HAS THE REAL POWER. The sooner you realise this fact, the sooner you will free yourselves from slavery. This is the first time in your history that you have been given the opportunity to take back your power, and thus, free humanity. Know with confidence that you can do this. You are not alone; the universe as well as the World of Spirit, is with you at this time. If we could do it for you, we would, but this is something you need to do for yourselves.
The temples of power are crumbling. It will not take much to remove them. They only protect their own. They do not concern themselves with you. You are mere slaves, who believe the illusion that was created by them. You have everything to look forward to: think of the celebration, world-wide, when you cut the shackles and see the LIGHT. Considering the speed at which the world is awakening, it is almost ready to cut the ties to the Cabal's enslavement of humanity.
Know that your families in Spirit are with you, every step of the way, on this, the most exciting journey of your lives. Some of the great people of the past are with you on Earth to assist you on this mission.
The Vatican will answer for its crimes against humanity. It is responsible for so much which it has kept well hidden behind the caring face that the public is shown. Soon it will be no more: it will be removed without trace of its evil rule.
The takeover of America is happening: though few recognise the signs. Crimes are committed, so as to remove the rights of the people to defend themselves. Switch off your TV sets which serve to keep you under control; you will never find the truth there. It is all part of the mind control which has been set up to enslave you. The American people believe that they have rights; it will be interesting to see who wins this battle. The world is watching them play this one out. What the American people believe, and what is actual fact, are two completely different things. Let what is happening in America be a lesson to all of you.
We must close now, as Veronica has work to do, with the people who will arrive shortly. All will be revealed when the timing is right. Come together in love and light and share your research. Help to open those minds that are frightened to open to the truth. They need guidance.
Nothing can stop us. Together, we have the power and the will to overcome all adversity.
My love, enjoy being with your friends. I will be present also. We are getting there!
My love is yours forever. Your adoring, Monty.

Are we focusing our attention in the right place?
With so much to talk about and some getting on their high horse about what they think was happening or not it is time to also take notice of what really did change.
Humanity is the part that did not really change, as the control system as many call it runs through humanity and cannot be destroyed in one way or the other.
When all humans are connected to each other there is always going to be a control system as this is how humanity as a whole works. Remember we are all One?
This is what the control system is.
We are all One.
We cannot expect a change happening if not everyone in the “One” gets onto one page. Good luck with that One.
We have been told for years, spread your light, be loving and compassionate, only if you love each and every one the change can take place.
The fluffy messages as I call them.
The ones where a reality is presented that is so beautiful, so magnificent, almost unimaginable to most people, but in their hearts many know there is such a thing.
The problem is that it’s a knowing, a feeling.
The reality outside of us does not reflect any of this and here is where the advice comes in through many of the messages.
Imagine it, live it, be it, it will happen, it is already there.
The physical reality is not real, only the spiritual reality is real.
You are here to be the change.
Should I go on?
I think you get my point.
Many feel disappointed, not just because of the messages with predictions, but of the inner feeling inside, the inner knowing that something might happen on the 21st of December.
Many seem to think that we should move on, leave it and get on with it. It was a lesson, take notes and learn from it, but enough already.
Some seem to think that because they didn’t expect anything, they are the ones that are a bit more superior in a way as they seem to express this sometimes in their comments.
Each and every person that feels disappointment or not, we have to learn something from this. It is not about the predictions, it is about what we as humans belief in, feel within and know within.
Maybe what we belief and feel and know is completely unrelated to the physical reality we live in. Maybe it is a reality that we have experienced or know within spirit and this is what is bringing us, or guiding us back into our spiritual reality, completely unrelated to any changes within the physical reality.
Maybe this is what we need to pay attention to as the physical reality is in fact a learning reality, and after this learning reality we should move back into the spiritual reality.
The only problem we have is that we have not yet found our way back to the spiritual reality. We seem to be stuck within this physical reality and are thinking that we need to bring this spiritual reality into our physical reality.
Who told us that?
We did, as we are so much involved in this physical reality that it most of the time seems to be the only reality, and for many upon earth it is the only reality they know.
Maybe all these glimpses of better worlds are to guide us back into our spiritual world, or at least remind us of our spiritual world. So we will start looking for it, find it, and find our way back to it.
Some have been looking, but most look from a physical perspective instead of a spiritual perspective.
As we know that we are spiritual beings, why would we not want to go back to being a spiritual, energy being fully?
Move out of the endless cycle of life and death, the cycle we cannot seem to escape fully.
But in a way that allows us to be still involved with the physical reality, to guide others that ask for this either out of the physical reality, or be able to give guidance and assist to make real changes to the physical reality, if that is our place to be.
Many can see things from a spiritual level, but no one as far as I can see it has the full perspective, the full knowledge and the full capability to do this.
After all everything is just energy, energy moves, energy can be influenced, redirected and even changed. But to me it seems that working on this from the physical reality is something that is only possible slowly, as the energy of the physical reality is dense and moves slowly.
The other part is that from a physical point of view we cannot see the overall changes needed, we can only see the changes we as humans think are needed, but these changes usually do not really comply with the overall changes.
Each human has different needs, different needs for this world, this reality. To think that the needs of a couple should overrule the needs of all and that this will work to change the world to the needs of just a couple is an illusion that has been presented to us in many ways by the ones that feel the world should change according to what they think they need.
These needs are part of one’s own personal exploration, and to the degree others are also encouraged to explore their within, well then you have done a lot of your job.  This is our temporary home, to come into a full knowledge of who and what this wondrous ever evolving source creation that we are, is.
Why are we really upon earth, to play the games forever?
Or to find our way out of the game?
We came here voluntarily, I don’t know but it feels to me we are not staying here voluntarily. Something is making us stay here in a way; it might be our own attachments to this reality or something else. It doesn’t really matter in a way.
We can make the decision to find our way out. We do have that choice.

Firstly, thanks go to Cat for sharing a link in another article to some very important new scientific information about the two Milky Way Galactic Center (GC) bubbles having finally burst and are now massive, out-flowing energies from the GC. The Great Mother’s water has broken and she gives birth, anew…

I’ve been waiting since December 24, 2012 — the day after the “Three Days”, Expiration Date, Shift Point — for something big to manifest physically within the physical realm and dimension to reveal physically what already happened energetically during the Three Days/Expiration Date/Shift Point at higher quantum levels and dimensions. (Remember that everything manifests at the top first and then works its way downwards from there with the physical dimension being the last one to finally manifest what’s happened in higher levels and dimensions.)

Most people need tangible, physical proof to convince them that something has indeed happened, has indeed changed dramatically and is now physically pouring forth like cosmic Aquarian waters from the jug of the Milky Way GC. And of course, no matter how the heavens ignite themselves and morph magically before our eyes via photographs from scientists from around the world, there will still be throngs of disbelievers concerning the end of the Mayan Calendar, the entire Ascension Process, entrance into a new astrological Age, current compressed evolution, the Three Days Expiration Date and the intimate connection between all that and the Milky Way GC suddenly spewing forth black-hole energies unimaginable. Don’t let small minds put a damper on what you know and are living and feeling!

A link to scientific information about the bursting of the galactic bubbles and current out-flowing of GC energies will be included at the end of and outside my © copyrighted material. Part of the caption below the image in that scientific article (see link at bottom) says:

“Image Caption: The newfound outflows of particles (pale blue) from the galactic Center. The background image is the whole Milky Way at the same scale. The curvature of the outflows is real, not a distortion caused by the imaging process…”

The reason I copied that one sentence in bold is because it’s very important and the reason why I’ve been clairvoyantly seeing the Milky Way GC energies flowing outward like a massive cosmic waterfall, much like Niagara Falls, for the past two years. First however here’s an old article with photo about the Milky Way galactic Bubbles the scientists discovered in 2010 before they burst (on or shortly after the Three Days — 12-21-12, 12-22-12, 12-23-12).

http://deniselefay.wordpress.com/2011/01/06/milky-way-energy-bubbles-or-galactic-flares/

Secondly, here’s a recent article from me about this massive Milky Way GC out-flowing of energies that we, humanity, Earth and our solar system have been inching our way towards over the years but aligned/conjuncted on the Three Days. This event is quantum and has already happened on day one of the Three Days –12-21-12– and continued happening throughout the remaining Three Days, and has and is still happening and being felt by humanity in varying degrees. It will continue to be felt by humanity for a long time so relax and adapt into IT because IT is life and reality inside the 5D frequency range of the Age of Aquarius and vastly higher frequency, higher consciousness, High Heart, high creativity Aquarian Unity energies.

When you view the photo of Niagara Falls I used in my “12-12-12 Through 12-21-12″ article, please keep it in mind and heart when you view the new photo in the scientific article of the Milky Way’s two burst GC Bubbles and how the outflowing GC energies now resemble slightly curved, outward flowing energies like cosmic Aquarian waters pouring out of the cosmic jug (GC) — plus how it somewhat resembles the photo of the gushing, falling waters of Niagara Falls.

http://deniselefay.wordpress.com/2012/12/07/12-12-12-through-12-21-12/

There is and will continue to be so much to talk about concerning these new cosmic GC energies that, finally are physically visible for all to see, and hopefully many more to feel and consciously be increasingly aware of. This is just the start of… everything… and we’re all still making incredible ongoing adjustments internally and externally to what we’ve been through via the Three Days including everything that’s continued to happen since December 24, 2012 and will continue happening. I’m going to say that again in hopes that it really sinks into everyone’s Hearts and Awareness; this is just the start of everything so relax into IT all and give yourself whatever “time” you need. We’re all in brand NEW territory and it will take some “time” for all of us to get our bearings and better understand what’s happened already and is still happening.

Since December 24, 2012 when one of our atomic clocks jumped two days into the future, and another atomic clock did the same thing two days after the first one did it, I knew we (humanity, Earth, reality etc.) were IN some very NEW and very different space and experiences and that we didn’t have a good or large enough understanding about what we had just gone through via the Three Days.

Since 12-24-12 I’ve been paying close attention to everything; my dreams, other people’s dreams, what’s happening in my physical body, in other people’s bodies, with my and other people’s consciousness, weird anomalies and other phenomena and so on. From my perspective the trans-formative energies that were the “Three Days” only continued on 12-24-12, and the next day, and the next day, the next and so on. From my perspective IT has not stopped just because we exited out the other side of the Three Days. IT has continued and I suspect will continue for a long time until we’ve so adapted, adjusted to IT that we no longer notice IT anymore.

My brain is fried today (not like this is a new event!) and my “Ascension Tinnitus” is roaring inside my head which only adds to the cosmic GC energies I feel pouring down and into my Crown chakra and top of my physical head and into my spine and body. We are living Light antennas embodying these NEW GC out-flowing energies which are and will continue to improve us in very dramatic ways.

For the past week I’ve been repeated hearing in my head and emotionally feeling in my heart that profound and truly great Chorus from Joni Mitchell’s 1968 song for Woodstock. It is:

“We are stardust, we are golden, and we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden”

You might enjoy, especially if you’re an original Hippie First Waver as I was/am, listening to her song done by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young again now with the entire Ascension Process, the Three Days Expiration Date, the Milky Way GC Bubbles, and finally the rupturing and dramatic out-flowing of GC (Aquarian) energies on the physical level. It is these grand evolutionary GC energies from Source that are helping us get ourselves back to the garden.

Peace n’ Love

The long-awaited New Age has got off to a flying start as the energies that it has brought with it sweep across your beautiful planet to commence the essential revitalization of all her systems, and to encourage and inspire humanity as it begins to understand what has just occurred. The commencement of a New Age is an event of enormous importance and significance for Earth and for all the life forms that she so willingly supports. All humans on Earth at this point in her ongoing evolution chose to be here to assist in this magnificent process, even though large numbers of them still remain unaware of the marvelous opportunities with which they are about to be presented to create new lifestyles that will uplift and inspire you all as peace, harmony, and abundance replace the unbalanced and inadequate societal and international relationships in which you seem to have enmeshed yourselves for so long. Your future is very bright indeed, and will grow even brighter as you all decide to take part in ongoing creative ventures that will inspire enormous enthusiasm for life in every one of you.

As you have often been told recently, this is a wonderful time to be embodied on Earth ― because the inflowing energies will uplift and inspire humanity to move forwards collectively to establish a harmoniously balanced way of life that honors all on the planet, without exception. These new and joyful attitudes that you are starting to embrace will totally change your perception of yourselves and of one another as you look forward to interacting together with creative enthusiasm and bright visions of what the future holds for you all. The old times of constant conflict, disagreement, and mistrust are to fade away into the mists of time, forgiven and forgotten, as you move gloriously ahead to engage in many new ventures that will bring you unimaginable satisfaction.

It is indeed correct to refer to these new times as a New Age because so much is changing, so much is being renewed, and so much that is completely new is coming into being. The old ways that taught and encouraged rugged individualism as the only reliable life path to ensure your survival in an unsafe and threatening world were never valid. They seemed to work for those who were strong and confident, but in fact no one was particularly strong or confident; they just donned masks that hid their fears and anxieties and often succeeded in convincing others that they were invincible – until it became apparent that they were not, and other masked pretenders or role-players replaced them.

Now awareness is growing rapidly that behind the apparent power and might of authority -figures and organizations there is a vacuum, an emptiness in which individuals are constantly fighting one another for control. At times it appears that a strong person is in charge, but this only occurs fleetingly when the organization itself seems threatened; the norm is constant vying for control between groups and individuals within the organization. Many have been aware of this for eons, but their interest has been solely in arranging for the transfer of that authority from the current holders to new ones espoused by those who demand change.

However, this newly expanded sense of awareness throughout humanity is leading to the realization that authority in the form of government agencies, and throughout educational, health-care, political, social, and religious organizations is a means to control and suppress individuals and deprive them of their human rights. The reasoning constantly offered to justify these authoritarian measures is that they are essential for the safety and security of the majority, when in fact the true agenda is purely to preserve the power and authority of those at the summit of those organizations who believe that they have an inalienable right to that power and control. And it is a right that they had no intention of relinquishing.

In this New Age people no longer feel automatically beholden to those who claim authority over them, and as authority only works when people generally accept it, the age of massive agencies of control is finished. It started to become apparent over thirty years ago as the eastern European states began to disentangle themselves from the grip of the Soviet Union which then itself broke apart. That disentanglement from rigid and inflexible power structures is continuing apace right across the planet, and signs of it are apparent everywhere. At times it seems to threaten the very foundations of civilization – and of course it does because civilization needs to become civilized ― which is a very new concept indeed!

In previous times civilization meant the crushing and suppressing of the weak by the strong, who claimed to have better methods of running and controlling society for the general good. Now civilization is to re-engage with the true meaning of that word: a civilized society is one which respects and honors all life forms while continuing to further its own education as it strives for the spiritual enlightenment of all mankind, yet never imposing its own beliefs, judgments, or opinions on others. It offers loving encouragement and assistance to all who seek it because its sole purpose is to serve the needs of all its members.

The New Age has arrived, so engage with it joyfully and fruitfully from your hearts as they fill with Love from the divine field in which you are all enveloped, and which is constantly increasing the power and intensity of its presence in your lives. Expect happiness and satisfaction to expand and fill your lives until there is no area within them where the slightest sense of dissatisfaction remains.

With so very much love, Saul.

Imagine and feel that you are Creating the grandest of change that can be Created in your increasingly-evolving third dimensional reality. Imagine and know that this change is being Created by each of you in your own unique ways, and imagine that what you are doing now is to greatly impact the Lives of every dear soul on Earth.
We have wished for you dear souls to know that what you are doing is setting the stage for the events that will bring about planetary abundance among so many other things, and we focus on this element specifically because we wish to make known that you are contributing to the Lighted energies helping to bring about abundance on your world.
Humanity as a whole is recalibrating and readjusting to a continually-pure state of consciousness and the increased inner-cognitive senses many of you will begin to find, will be among the many things showing you that you are working toward something real. Indeed, the validations that are simply too real to disbelieve will make their way to you and if you make the efforts to attune to such things as much as possible, you will increase your ability to perceive them in a quicker and realer manner.
Everything happening at present entails a continual readjusting to increasingly-pure states of consciousness as you begin the quite rapid travel through the realms of the fourth dimension.
For those of you who may be wondering; you have indeed began your ventures within the fourth dimension as a collective and while much of your collective is indeed still anchored in dimensions lower than and matched with the third, the actions of the Lightworker collective in holding the Light and anchoring the pure vibrations of Source unto your world is having a massive influence on the collective energies and is allowing Gaia’s planetary collective to begin your surface travels through the realms of the fourth dimension.
Many of you have been learning fourth dimensional lessons for some time, and those of you who have already been able to Master the lessons of compassion, understanding and the need to avoid self-martyrdom will handle the coming weeks and months quite gracefully as you will find yourselves breezing through repeated lessons that are only being repeated within you because the entire collective is (and will be) experiencing such fourth dimensional lessons.
Your resolve and ability to remain centered will indeed be tested, and we mean this for all of you. Every last bit of you will be and have already been undergoing the necessary testing that truly displays to you if you are ready to embrace ascension and your continually-unfolding reality if the external circumstances do not always seem pertinent to do so.
You are indeed being given the choice of how much faith and involvement you place in your ascension from here on out and many of you are passing these tests with much ease, while others are finding considerably-more difficulty.
It was anticipated that the Lightworker energy could take a dive after the 21st period because of the nature of change expected and the nature of inner-change delivered but not felt by all, and we wish you all to know that the brazen manifestations many of you have looked toward are completely within your sphere of ability to pull into your personal vibrations and manifest.
The collective, mass energies are required to move something along in a much more grand manner, but you can all begin to radiate your personal vibrations toward the disclosure of your Galactic brethren’s existence and presence on your world as well as a plethora of other things, such as abundance being delivered to your entire world and the wealth being restored to its proper owners; each and every citizen of your Earth.
There is so much good to look forward to and you all have the ability to attract such good to yourselves, which is why we ask you to do so as a collective. Collectively mediate on the initiating of disclosure, the giving of abundance to your world and your collective finding ascension.
Truly feel and radiate your vibrations toward everything you have worked for, for you are the prominent Creators and experiencers of your reality and your personal (and collective) vibrations determine more than anything else, what is to happen on the surface of your world.
We continue to reiterate that your ascension and the events to come with your ascension are and have always been assured, but we must still ask you to continue to make your effort to attune to the fifth dimensional reality many of you can begin to feel, because there is so much for you to witness and experience and you are just at the beginning of your journeys.
Indeed, from an Earthly standpoint you are at the end of a long journey within the lower dimensions, but you now begin the most exciting and incredible part of your Earth journeys which is, of course, bringing-forth Light and change on a mass level on the surface of the Earth for every single soul on your beautiful, pre-Galactic planet to benefit from.
Can you dear souls believe that your actions are affecting the Lives of everyone on your world?
This is truly so and this is why we ask you all to continue to place the importance in your ascension processes that many of you placed before the 21st alignment came and went.
We ask you to remain as focused and excited for the manifestation of wonderful ascension-related events in your Lives as you were before this timeframe for indeed, you still have many more dates and timeframes to pass through that, while not solely important or crucial to the manifestation of brazen or bold events and should not be looked toward in such a manner, will still serve to greatly benefit those who have continued in their inner-search and found an attunement to your ascension energies.
There are so many things we can feel you dear souls wondering about, and we wish to calm your fears, apprehensions or anxieties and remind you that everything is, has always been and will always be okay. Yes, there is still mass separation and hatred manifested on your world on a day to day basis, but you would be surprised to learn of the dissolving influence of such lower energies even right now.
While they are still manifested on a massive level in your current moment, more and more Earthly souls are responding to the continual work that the higher realms have been doing on their evolving bodies and spirits and they are finding the personal revelations and inspirations from spirit that are seeing them change their lifestyles into ones that match the happiness and wholeness they wish to feel in their Lives.
Please know, dearest Lightworker collective, that your actions are greatly benefitting the Lives of every Earthly soul and you are helping everyone to begin adjusting to and assimilating while benefitting from, the energies being delivered to your world at present in increasing purity.
There are so many beings doing all that they can to continually increase the purity of energies Creating your reality, as there is much going on within the realms past your conscious perception. Everything is being rebuilt and reformatted on an energetic level, to fit the expanded and evolved environment you will soon all exist within more fully and purely again.
There is oh-so much going on and we wish we could detail every last bit of the progress that has been made since the alignment of the 21st but for this current moment, we can only ask you dear souls to prepare yourselves for all that is to happen because as you can see, events have taken quite a long amount of your time to manifest and are reaching the point wherein they simply cannot be stalled any longer.
Yes, this has been said before and there have been many instances wherein the Company of Heaven has chosen to step back on matters for necessary reasons, and this is why we continue to implore you dear souls to Create as much positive and Lighted change as you can in your internal and external realties, because our actions are based on your choices and experiences whilst on Earth.
Everything you do or express toward others is fed to your collective consciousness in the form of a specific energy, and the general energy given out by your entire Earth collective in each moment determines the ability of the Light energies to match such energies and soak-into your collective conscious and subconscious, benefitting you all.
When negative actions, emotions or choices are fed into this matrix of consciousness, the Light energies are filtered and restricted from coming through and we are thus, unable to work with a landscape that is too dense for our intervention.
As you’ve heard, we [as well as the Galactics] cannot interfere with your freewill and we have no desire to do so, which is why so many Lightworkers and starseeds have incarnated unto your Earth to feed the collective of your world the most positive and harmonious of energies possible; to help give the Light energies a way through to your collective consciousness so that the Earth collective can be initiated into the pure states of consciousness your beginning Age of Aquarius is to call for.
You have so much awaiting you and yet, for some of you the spiritual road could not seem bleaker as you perceive yourselves as being duped or fooled into thinking something grand would happen, one too many times.
We understand that some may not feel comforted by our requests to keep the faith and hold strong to your vision, but as you are Creating your individual and collective experience in every single moment and your Creation determines our ability to intervene and assist, we are asking as many of you as possible to do so and the importance of your positive and Lighted energies simply cannot be overstated.
Everything that you have heard about is real, dear souls. We know that you can feel this and we know that you know this. To those who have attuned, nearly endless validations have been given and we can personally attest to meting so many of you in your dreamscape, during interactions that you may not likely remember because of your non-lucid state of perception during such moments.
There is so much Divine interaction taking place beyond the realms of your conscious perception, with us and you all and the Lighted change you are Creating even while your bodies lay sleeping and you hold meetings with us, your Galactic brethren and a plethora other souls and collectives, is indeed enormously-pure in scope.
There are so many important manifestations riding on your ability to stay positive and centered, as you are all literally forming bridges and holding open portals for the energies of the higher realms to come through yourselves.
While some of you are experiencing a final surfacing of doubt and fear in yourselves, others are benefitting greatly from your ascension energies and those of you who are benefitting could help greatly in consoling those who feel as if the higher realms, the Universe, we Ascended Masters or their personal guides have somehow abandoned them or left them, as they perceive of their ascension having not happened.
We are absolutely here for you dear souls and we will continue to make our presence known to you, in the form of synchronicities and many other things we will do to attempt to get your attention. As always, pay attention to the messages of spirit because there are so many ways we can get ahold of you, and some of them may indeed surprise you.
We wish to make our presence more personally known to each of you who feel as if you are cut off from the higher realms or as if the higher realms have abandoned you, because you have so much good to look forward to and as has been expressed, you are and have been in the home stretch, viewing the landscape of your fifth dimensional Eden whilst knowing your role of holding the space and helping the entire Lightworker collective to evolve before then finding your own heroic evolution back to the realms of the fifth dimension.
And oh, don’t even get us started on the wonders that lay beyond the fifth dimension.
Your processes are to continual eternally, and your growth and learning will be everlasting from the fifth dimension. You will experience lessons, growing and learning that will ready you for even purer sub-planes, planes and dimensions of consciousness and each dimension you experience will offer unique challenges, lessons and frames of perception.
Everything you experience will serve to show you aspects of yourselves that have been forgotten as you traversed the lower dimensions, and you are to find that you are and have always been the Creator in an increasingly-distorted form with each lower dimension you had fallen to in an attempt to traverse such dimensions.
You have all traversed the lower realms with a heroic might that you are strongly looked upon for, and we personally thank you for your efforts up to this point and for the efforts you don’t yet know you will be making in the time ahead. You are so important to Earth’s ascension, dear souls, and we wish for you to know this with every bit of yourselves for if your power is given away, you cannot experience the enlightened perspectives that show you the reality and awesomeness of the developing higher realms in yourselves.
You can all begin to channel the energies of your rapidly-developing fifth dimensional New Earth and we encourage you do so, for there is so much wonderful vibration and energy for you to attune to and find within yourselves and every last bit of it is happily and graciously awaiting your realization of it and its presence within and around you.
The brimming vibrations of Source are expressed in a very pure yet still distorted manner in the realms of the fifth dimension, as the purest energies of Love and Light are as well considered the purest of “distortions” and the building-blocks of your realities.
Your reality is a moldable and changeable energy that so many der souls have begun to learn to work with to help bring about the best intended results and experiences they seek, and we say that your Life path will garner in you, the understanding of working with your reality and finding for yourselves, the situations and experiences you desire.
You will be led increasingly with the events that manifest in your Lives, to take control of your Life paths and begin to Create for yourselves that which you truly desire, and some of you can perhaps notice these very catalysts playing-out for some around you at present. Every one of you are being led toward the revelations and epiphanies in yourselves that show you your ability to find happiness and wholeness in your Lives, rather than continue to put up with the same old limitations or distortions you had previously allowed to form the basis of your conscious experience.
You’re now being given the full opportunity to turn away from and transmute the lower and dissatisfying aspects of your Lives as they stand at present, because you dear souls have wanted the realms of the fifth dimension and you must first receive them in yourselves. The unawakened Earth collective who cannot yet feel these energies will be able to [receive them] because of your actions in anchoring them and holding the space for them to come forth.
As you hold this space, you will continue to realize that your own reality is refining and you will increasingly see matters playing out in your Lives from a different vantage point, a different perspective. You will begin to feel the hollowness of many aspects of your reality that have been fed up until this point, and many of you may find yourselves seeming to drastically change the ways you have Lived or the direction your Lives have been heading in, in favor of a reintegration into a more fulfilled and happy state of being.
One cannot ascend if one is still trapped within self-employed limitations and we can only do so much to help you realize such limitations as sometimes, even pointing out a limitation or employed density to an Earth soul can be considered a violation of their freewill-ordained right to believe that what they are doing is not harmful to their Life paths.
Humanity is feeding as a collective, the very same dense and negative, outdated energies in various different forms and facets. Sarcasm can be a destructive energy if used in a destructive way, and humor specifically has been distorted to a certain extent on your world. There is indeed humor in the higher realms, and you will occasionally find even one of us cracking a joke or two as we do indeed Love to laugh.
We Love and radiate out naturally, anything that feels good or is of a good vibration and when we speak of humor being used for ill gains, we speak of the humor that is employed and attached to darkness which can come in the form of sarcasm or ridicule. Finding personal gain because of the misfortune of others has become rife on your world, but the pervading energies of Oneness will see humanity realizing the need to put such a distortion to an end.
Of course, it would be a generalization to claim that all of humanity is feeding the select few mechanisms we have discussed here but overall, the prevalent few energies of darkness are fed and established massively on your world at present through a plethora of different souls.
Your media continues only to reinforce the negative and keep every person attached to it in a state of illusion and separation from their Godsource, and many of you will notice the purposeful violence and lower vibrational material put forth in nearly every aspect of your mainstream media. So very many television shows have been produced, unknowingly fulfilling an agenda of filling humanity’s minds and hearts with the continual vibrations of anger, violence, lust, sarcasm and most of all, separation.
One will notice that humanity is painted in a very negative Light in the majority of movies and television shows given on your world at present, and what is currently meant to keep one from fashioning a connection with One’s Godsource will soon be utilized to bring-forth truth that all of humanity needs to be reintroduced to, so that you can properly view your Earth through a lense of knowing all that has happened.
You are taught to view a world that is only physical and that has never experienced any wonders past what physical reality teaches, but so very much has happened that if you knew about, would display to you that your world has always experienced miracles and things that the majority of people in your current society would simply write-off.
The fact that much that’s been hidden from you would be unaccepted as reality by the majority of your world at present should not faze you dear souls, because your world is to be reintroduced to the concepts that drive a higher dimensional experience and in doing so, will see that they have allowed themselves to be held back in many instances.
The choices humanity has made has contributed to holding humanity back and among the choices you can begin to make to help cleanse yourselves of the negative vibrations of illusion and lower dimensional Life, are choosing the proper nutrients to feed your ever-evolving bodies in the form of healthy food, drink and interaction with your reality.
It is important now to find the most Lighted of foods that will not serve to block up your chakras or keep you in a state of lower dimensional discomfort.
Meat production of any kind is to become a thing of the past so very soon, as you will find yourselves sustained in a different manner and less accustomed to the mindsets that would teach you to desire meat or pleasure within flavor, as you will feel constant bliss all around you and you will contribute to such bliss with your own blissful energies.
It has been discussed that you will still be able to replicate your favorite heavy foods with the technology of your Galactic brethren and with your own Creative abilities which you will learn to utilize with the assistance of Galactic technology, and it should be expressed that you will likely need or want much less for such heavy foods despite your ability to manifest them.
The fact that you will indeed be able to have them will see them lose their perceived luster that some would perhaps imagine when thinking of not being able to enjoy their favorite lower dimensional pleasures, and despite the pleasure meat can provide for some souls, it is still vastly disrespectful to and un-allowing of the freewill of the animal collective who are forced to give up their body temples; usually in very violent ways and in ways that are destructive to their souls.
These souls really do seek peace and salvation from the twisted-up energies they have felt by losing their body structure by the hand of a human being in a violent manner, and to those of you who are eating meat, we would humbly ask you to bless and thank the spirit of the animal you would be consuming before doing so.
You can send your healing energies to the animal collective as a whole and to the individual sprits of each animal who has been forced to exit their incarnation in the name of becoming food, and all of humanity will realize the need to come together with the animal and even plant kingdoms, and you will no longer utilize them for nourishment as you find all of your nourishment provided to you and by you, in ways that do not require utilizing the sacred temples of any soul.
You are all Loved so very dearly and it is hoped that we have been able to offer a glimpse into your already-unfolding New World and New Year of 2013. 2012 will forever be known as the starting-point and the rest of your experiences from here on out will continue in the intensified manner they are beginning to play-out in.
We ask you to employ hope and balance when looking toward your future, and remind you that only you can bring what you desire to yourselves.
Thank you to the Ascended Masters.

10 Ways to Use Psychic Energy
By Taryn Gale wind

Color is light. Light is energy. Energy governs everything we do and totally impacts how we feel. Each color of the spectrum has a frequency, and scientists know our brains and body chemistry react to those vibrations. Sensitives and psychics know our chakras react,too,and can be re energized by color.

Let’s look at ten simple ways to use psychic color.

1. Red Is Power. Every politician and corporate mogul knows wearing red when facing an adversary gives you an advantage. The richness and depth of red make you seem and feel like a stronger entity.

2. White, the great protector. White light combines all colors. If you feel anxious or are dealing with fear, close your eyes and surround yourself with a dome of white light. The dome keeps thoughts and energies pure and can protect you as you work through issues.

3. Pink secures wishes. Meditation teacher Shakti Gawain advises using a pink psychic bubble to obtain heart’s desires. Get into your deepest meditation state. Envision your heart’s desire in as much detail as you can. Surround it with a pink bubble – glowing, buoyant. Hold the bubble close for a moment, then let go. Watch it rise, disappearing into the universe. Don’t think of your wish again. Let your psychic energy handle it.

4. Create peace and harmony. Wall and environmental colors have a profound impact on your energy and power. Analyze your home. Make sure you feel centered in each room. If not, using visualization and large color samples, find out which colors strengthen your energy. Make changes.

5. Balance your chakras. In Sanskrit, chakra is wheel of light, so color is important here. In order, color association is: Root chakra – red, second chakra – orange, third – yellow, fourth – green, fifth – blue, sixth – purple, seventh – white. Use those colors in meditation and visualization to balance energy and life force, bringing you closer in tune with your soul and the soul of the universe.

6. Change your mood. Wear bright pink or green to enhance and lift mood if you feel depressed or morose. The reflected light touching your skin and stimulating your eyes will give your brain chemistry a kickstart.

7. Psychics know orange can change relationships and scientists may agree. Use orange to work on your emotional self, or someone else’s. That light frequency seems to be associated with social confidence and outcomes. Orange may create optimism and joyful relationships.

8. Find out what kind of love you need. Take yourself to your magical place of meditation and visualization. As you relax, enclose your body, beginning with your head and working down, with an aura of green light. Green connects you to every positive energy, from peace, to purity, to self knowledge. Inside your green aura, explore the qualities you seek in friends or lovers.

9. Soothe pain/treat illness. A holistic approach can include colored light, psychically or physically produced, as therapy. Long ago, blue was thought to affect pain and illness. Now, it isn’t unlikely to find medical staff wearing blue and clinical settings painted blue. Last year, Chinese doctors had success using blue chemicals to treat back pain. For mild pain or illness, try envisioning blue light healing the area. Consult your medical team for anything beyond the mildest condition.

10. Have an aura reading. Ask your psychic practitioner to conduct a reading, and perhaps a balancing of your aura. You may learn a lot more than your anticipated. Take your lover with you for a great couples’ experience.

Many believe our bodies contain a series of energy fields. When the energy is in balance, the body is healthy. We’ve already established that color is energy, so it’s easy to understand how using psychic color energy can have profound impact on you and your reactions to everything you encounter. Tomorrow, choose your colors carefully and see what happens.

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. Have a beautiful sunfilled day...Carol Paradis

Message from Sanat Kumara – 18 Dec 2012, by Tazjima
Posted on December 19, 2012

Sanat Kumara – 18 December 2012 – Breaking Through to the Other Side, by Tazjima
Not having any messages come in for the past week or so, I thought I might experiment and call in a master and see what happens. This past week or so has been an interesting one for me. I’ve had high highs and low lows. I’m sure quite a few of my readers can say the same thing or have similar experiences. I started out with a short meditation, invoking a tube of white light for protection and then:

I am invoking the Presence of beloved Sanat Kumara, Planetary Logos.

I AM here. I AM Sanat Kumara.

Yes, I can feel you in my heart. My heart chakra was burning hot as the Master began to come in.

I stand in the heart flame of all who live upon this planet.

Thank you, Raj.

What can I help you with tonight?

I want to thank you for leading me to the J. Stone books. They have helped clarify some issues for me. And I am enjoying making some of the invocations that are listed there.

Understand, dear one that the ascension preparation given out in those volumes is no longer valid in terms of what most people are experiencing these days. The directions were given during a time that has long since passed. The dispensations given out in the book still apply, but few people, even lightworkers are using these volumes so we approach ascension in many ways now. It is not necessary to even know about ascension in order to be qualified to take the step now.

How is that so, Raj? (Raj is a nickname which the Master prefers to be called than by his full title.)
Those people who live good lives, in service and peace, will ascend, even if they have never heard of the term. Many of these people are lightworkers, but who have not consciously woken up to their missions. They are vaguely aware that there is more to life than what they have already encountered, but are unable to discover what that might entail. Due to circumstances, some care for family members and work long hours to make a living, and do not feel that they have the luxury of making their own spiritual journey. They have made their steps along the path of ascension mostly unknowingly, yet they will rejoice when they discover one day that they have come into a new land, one filled with peace and love.

What has been my path?

Do you not know? You have forged ahead, leaving husband, family and friends behind. Nothing could deter you from your spiritual quest. You have questioned, learned and let go of teachings time after time, seeking your own way through what was offered in the world. You have learned to listen to your inner voice, to your heart. You know how to test the spirits by listening and feeling within. You have come far; you will go further along the path than many.

Yet we tell you now (including my readers) that ascension is not a contest. It is a personal journey and a collective one that at least a portion of humanity is undergoing currently. It is a process and will continue, even when you break through to the other side and into the fifth dimension. When you arrive there, you may decide to rest, but sooner than later you will begin again to move forward on the path, through service, through learning, through the many ways that will be offered to you.

There are many now in these last days who still doubt that they have “the right stuff” to make ascension. Fear not, beloved ones, for all of you are loved. It is your own thoughts and emotions that keep you down and continuing in feeling the separation, the disparity, perhaps even despair. And certainly you might feel confused about all the conflicting opinions and information that is being presented within the lightworker community. This is why it is so important to approach any information, including these messages, by using your own inner discernment as your guide. The time for the outer teacher is coming to an end; it has ended. There are no captains, no leaders in this movement. It is a movement and a journey made up of individuals, all following their own paths, yet it is also a journey that will take many in the same direction, to the same destination.

Know also that ascension is not a one-time initiation. There are many steps to ascension, not just one. Those of you, who choose to move on beyond the first baby-steps of ascension, will find themselves being mentored by ascended masters and angelic beings. It is a grand and vast world that you are in the process of entering. The multiverse is far more than you can possibly imagine after being relegated to school-room Earth. There will be much to re-learn, but you will discover great pleasure in doing so for you will begin to re-member what you left behind when taking embodiment so long ago.

Your planet is currently in the throes of the last days of the Dark Age, of the Kali Yuga. Soon you will move beyond these lower vibrations, only touching them briefly if it is your desire to teach and lead those who will not cross the bridge of swords at this time, at the Shift. Archangel Michael recently stated (see 2012 Scenario for more information) that ascension will remain open for those who are close until the end of this lifetime. Those who go ahead will contribute to the raising up of the vibrations of the planet which will clear the way for more to follow in their footsteps. Some of the wayshowers will become gatekeepers, keeping the connection between the two worlds open to facilitate the passage of others. And many of the first to ascend will take up a life of service, helping those friends and family members who remained behind, assisting them to understand the benefits and possibilities that ascension into the fifth dimension can offer.

For many of our initiates this has been a time for undergoing a life review. You may have seen episodes of your life play out in your mind’s eye or remembered long lost friends or relatives. Some people have returned back into your lives, also, perhaps to see if a lesson forgotten or unfinished has been learned. It is certainly a time to let go of what is no longer necessary; nothing that is of a lower vibration can be taken into the new world – it will be left behind. This list includes relationships that are unhealthy, jobs that do not allow for creativity, as well as anything excessive and unbalanced. It is also a time to learn to forgive yourself for those things that you feel you have not done as well as you could. Forgiveness, letting go, listening to your heart, and being at peace are most important considerations.

The world that is being left will make its bid to keep your attention, to bring up fears, to create distrust between people through the misuse of the media and propagation of lies from governmental bodies and various institutions, including the medical field, religions, education, science, economics, and other international corporations. Leave it all behind you; they cannot follow you into the new world unless they, too, let go of their fears and step into the light.

For those of you, who fear that you are not suitably prepared for ascension, know that you can still have issues to resolve, still have emotions to work on, still have physical conditions that need healing.

You do not have to be perfect in order to be able to ascend. You do need to be open to expanding your world view to include the diversity of humanity, as well as those galactic and intergalactic beings, ascended beings and angelic realms, which will be more apparent to you as you become more acquainted to your new world. There is much to explore there and much to learn.

In the passage of cycles, eventually all of humanity will pass through ascension, just not now. Not all are ready for in the past it has taken lifetimes to prepare to take the first steps leading up to becoming an initiate on the path to ascension. Those who are undergoing ascension during this present cycle have either prepared for a long time or are starseed who have embodied for this very purpose – to act as wayshowers and to create an energetic pathway for those of humanity able to follow in their footsteps. Many of the starseeds have ascended on other planets and in other solar systems, galaxies, even in other universes. Some of the starseeds and lightworkers have come from the highest heavens and will return once their work here is done. There is a great variety of helpers here on hand to assist in this birthing process for both the planet and her cargo, humanity.

In these last days of this present cycle, spend them in quiet contemplation and meditation if you can. If not, keep mindful during your day of the energies and call on us, the ascended masters and angelic realms, for our assistance. We are here to help, to serve, as it our means to further our development as we, too, are moving up in our responsibilities and expanding in our service to the Universe.

Expand your mind to include the whole of this planet as your body. See all of humanity as one being; in truth you are one. You are experiencing this process from several points of view to gain experience which you will pass on to other worlds in your turn, as we have assisted you in ours. Know that we are your brothers and sisters and are here to assist. Call on us and we will be there, to lend our energies, light and love to give you strength in moments of doubt and weakness. If you feel that you have stepped off the path momentarily, forgive yourself and continue on. Keep a close internal focus on how you are feeling, what you are feeling and how you would like to feel. Keep a journal of your inspirations, dreams, meditations and practice communicating with your higher self. Have faith that you will break through those last bits of darkness that seem to keep you from your goal. We will assist; we are here to help – just remember to call for us and we will be there.

Forever in the Light, I AM Sanat Kumara.

Namaste.

Dealing With Difficult People

Learn how to deal with difficult people from a spiritual perspective.

BY: Tara Springett

Virtually everybody knows people who seem to be put into their lives for the sole reason of making it difficult. They either have excessive demands, are unnecessarily contrary or even outright mean and nasty. How can we deal with this all too common problem from a spiritual perspective?

First of all, we need to understand that difficult people are having a difficult time. Nobody who is genuinely happy and has a loving and fulfilling life is nasty on purpose. Real joy generates love – the wish to share one’s joy – so if someone behaves in a selfish or unloving way it is a sure sign that they are unhappy in themselves. This is true even if they appear to be happy. As a therapist, I have the opportunity to talk to thousands of people in depth about their feelings and I have found that people only get angry and demanding if they are under some sort of extreme stress.

The second thing I found is that virtually nobody acts nastily on purpose. The average person almost always believes that they are doing the right thing with a good motivation. This may seem unbelievable if we are at the receiving end of some very egotistical behaviour but it is nevertheless true. The real problem is ignorance – people believe they are doing good when in fact they are hurting other peoples’ feelings.

These two insights – that difficult people are unhappy and unaware of how hurtful they are will help us to be more compassionate and patient with them. Once we have that little bit of inner distance, we can then apply the ultimate remedy to dealing with difficult people. This remedy is to send love first to ourselves and then to the person who is stressing us out.

If you are one of those people who easily believes that everything is your own fault it is paramount that you take a lot of time to envelop yourself with loving light and wish yourself to be happy like a loving mother wishes for her child. Once we have done that, we need to do the same with our adversary. We need to envelop the difficult person with love just like we have done with ourselves. This may seem contrary to all human inclinations because, after all, why should we send love to someone who has harmed us? The answer is that love is the sublime healer of the universe and will restore peace and harmony to all our relationships or help us to end them in a harmonious way.

In my own life, I have worked in this way for many years with every single person who has made my life a misery: with boyfriends and ex-boyfriends, noisy neighbours, nasty colleagues, mean landlords, difficult friends, rebellious children and everyone else who caused some unpleasant ripples in my mind. I can say with confidence that sending love has never let me down and has restored peace and harmony to the most difficult situations within a matter of days. The same is true for the hundreds and thousands of clients who have used this ‘method’ for a multitude of conflicts.

I AM MERGING WITH MY GOD SELF NOW ! ! !
Posted by STEVEN L HUTCHINSON

So, beloved ones, let us now gather our energies as we guide you through the dimensional portals, through the energy and into the center of this Ascension Wave therefore, please straighten your spine, draw your shoulders slightly backwards opening your heart chakra. Take a deep breath in through your nose, exhaling through your mouth, take another deep breath in exhaling through your mouth and relaxing your body. Imagine a powerful gold and red flame of energy running up and down your spinal column. This is your life-force; the empowering energy that has always existed within you.

This energy becomes more tangible now and you become more conscious of it because many veils have fallen and many outdated beliefs, attitudes and perceptions have been released. You have already acknowledged aspects of yourself that you never knew existed, and this was not such a long time ago.

I want you now to take a moment to give thanks for every challenge you have experienced, for every tear you have shed, for every moment of woe, of grief and sadness. Give thanks for every dark night of the soul you have endured, for it is all of these experiences that have made the cracks in the walls of defense and burnt through the veils of illusion and broken down the constructs of ignorance and revealed to you your inner wisdom, revealed to you your inner tutor and shown you the higher intelligence of the advanced aspects of your divine self that have guided you, guarded you and gifted you.

The "Earth Walk" is one of the most challenging any soul can choose to undertake. It is the most stringent school of learning and is a place where the soul is stripped bare, left with nothing but the potential to gain everything. Your journey into reclaiming the treasures that exist within love and wisdom and empower you as a spirit and as a being of light is now before you. Feel your energy as it moves from the dams, along the streams and the rivers and into the lakes, and feel your energy moving into the great oceans, becoming one with the vast body of divine wisdom and love represented by the seas and oceans of your Planet.

Breathe in deeply as these Beings connect their energy field to yours. These marine creatures hold within their energy signatures a vibration so pure, so pristine, that it is able to penetrate the densest human ego motivated and base, ignorant and dark part of self. Feel these energies penetrating this part of you, and you find now that you become suspended within the water surrounded by these energies, which amplify the presence of light existing within you. These energy pulsations penetrate all the alternate and parallel aspects of yourself, the most dark part of yourself, and the most evil deed you have ever committed in any of your life experiences is now penetrated by this pristine energy of pure unconditional love, light, wisdom and intelligence.

Lord Poseidon enters this field of energy and hovers in front of you and twelve Mermaids accompany him. These beings also begin to emanate sound vibrations that can only be perceived through the body of water, which opens the emotional body inside of you and allows the dark aspects of yourself to be touched and penetrated by this love.

One hundred and eleven Seahorses begin dancing around you. Their dance creates another beautiful energy pattern, which is a system of communication being given to them by your Monad. This is the first time this pattern is being encoded into your energy field and allows your emotional body to move beyond the paradigms of the old world; specifically the Piscean Age, and as this fluid body of yours steps into this safe place of knowing that you are being motivated by this part of you that is one with God/Goddess, a wall of defense falls away.

As this wall drops you are not left fragile and vulnerable, you are left strong, empowered, revitalized, re-energized and reconnected with this powerful part of you -- your Monad. Take a deep breath in exhaling fully. Now notice that deep in the depths of this water a light begins to emerge; a golden light, and the marine creatures around you begin to energetically pull you into the depths of the water, Lord Poseidon and the Mermaids following you and the Seahorses still moving around you.

As you are taken into the depths you move deeper and deeper into the realms of your most intelligent self, into the depths of love that exist beyond the human lower-ego, beyond the human personality and identity, beyond the human nature and into the sacred energy of you; that which exists beyond human form. You now enter a world of exquisite light, a world so filled with the most profound......

Wisdom from Psychopaths?

A scientist enters a high-security psychiatric hospital to extract tips and advice

from a crowd without a conscience
ByKevin Dutton

In Brief
Life Lessons from the Inside

• Psychopaths have personality traits that, in moderation, can offer significant benefits. These typically terrible individuals may thus have a lot to teach the rest of us.

• The triumvirate of charm, focus and ruthlessness that psychopaths possess can predispose a person for long-term life success.

• A psychopath's proclivity to live in the moment can arm against anxiety and bring joy.

Kevin Dutton

“Got anything sharp?” the woman at reception barks, as I deposit the entire contents of my briefcase—laptop, phone, pens—into a clear, shatter-resistant locker in the entrance hall. “Now place the index finger of your right hand here and look up at the camera.”

Once you pass through border control at Broadmoor, the best-known high-security psychiatric hospital in England, you are immediately ushered into a tiny air lock, a glass-walled temporary holding cell between reception and the hospital building proper, while the person you are visiting—in my case, a psychologist assigned to escort me to my destination—gets buzzed by reception and makes his way over to meet you.

It's a nervy, claustrophobic wait. As I sit flicking through magazines, I remind myself why I'm here—an e-mail I had received a couple of weeks after launching the Great British Psychopath Survey, in which I tested people in different professions for psychopathic traits. One of the survey's respondents, a barrister by trade, had written to me. He had posted a score that certainly got my attention.

“I realized from quite early on in my childhood that I saw things differently than other people,” he wrote. “But more often than not, it's helped me in my life. Psychopathy (if that's what you want to call it) is like a medicine for modern times. If you take it in moderation, it can prove extremely beneficial.

It can alleviate a lot of existential ailments that we would otherwise fall victim to because our fragile psychological immune systems just aren't up to the job of protecting us. But if you take too much of it, if you overdose on it, then there can, as is the case with all medicines, be some rather unpleasant side effects.”

The e-mail had got me thinking. Might this eminent criminal defense lawyer have a point? Was psychopathy a “medicine for modern times”? The typical traits of a psychopath are ruthlessness, charm, focus, mental toughness, fearlessness, mindfulness and action. Who wouldn't at certain points in their lives benefit from kicking one or two of these up a notch?

I decided to put the theory to the test. As well as meeting the doctors in Broadmoor, I would talk with some of the patients. I would present them with problems from normal, everyday life, the usual stuff we moan about at happy hour, and see what their take on it was. Up until now it had seemed like a good idea.

“Professor Dutton?” I look up to see a blond guy in his mid-30s peering around the door at me. “Hi, I'm one of the clinical leads at the Paddock Center. Welcome to Broadmoor! Shall I take you over?”

The Paddock Center is an enclosed, highly specialized personality disorder directorate comprising six 12-bedded wards. Around 20 percent of the patients housed there at any one time are what you might call “pure” psychopaths. These are confined to the two Dangerous and Severe Personality Disorder (DSPD) wards. The rest present with so-called cluster disorders: clinically significant psychopathic traits, accompanied by traits typically associated with other personality disorders—borderline, paranoid and narcissistic, for example. Or they may have symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations indicative of psychosis.

Suddenly, reality dawns. This is no drop-in center for the mocha-sipping worried well. This is the conscienceless inner sanctum of the Chianti-swilling unworried unwell—the preserve of some of the most sinister neurochemistry in the business. The Yorkshire Ripper is in here. So is the Stockwell Strangler. It's one of the most dangerous buildings on earth.

We emerge from the mazy, medicinal bowels of the hospital to the right of a large, open-air enclosure, topped off with some distinctly uncooperative razor wire. “Er … I am going to be all right, aren't I?” I squeak.

My guide grins. “You'll be fine,” he says. “Actually trouble on the DSPD wards is relatively rare. Psychopathic violence is predominantly instrumental, a direct means to a specific end. Which means, in an environment like this, that it's largely preventable. And in the event that something does kick off, easily contained.

“Besides,” he adds, “it's a bit late to turn back now, isn't it?”

Getting to Know the Locals

We enter one of Broadmoor's ultrasequestered DSPD wards. My first impression is of an extremely well appointed student residence hall. All blond, clean-shaven wood. Voluminous, freshly squeezed light. There's even a pool table, I notice. A man named Danny shoots me a glance from behind his Nintendo Wii. Chelsea are 2–0 up against Manchester United. “We are the evil elite,” Danny says.

“Don't glamorize us. But at the same time, don't go the other way and start dehumanizing us, either.”

Larry, a gray, bewhiskered, roly-poly kind of guy, takes a shine to me. Dressed in a Fair Isle sweater and beige, elasticized slacks, he looks like everyone's favorite uncle. “You know,” he says, as he shakes my hand, “they say I'm one of the most dangerous men in Broadmoor. Can you believe that? But I promise you, I won't kill you. Here, let me show you around.”

Larry escorts me to the far end of the ward, where we stop to take a peek inside his room. It looks like a typical single-occupancy hospital room, though with a few more creature comforts such as a computer, desk space, and a raft of books and papers on the bed. Next is the garden: a sunken, gray-bricked patio affair, about the size of a tennis court, interspersed with benches and conifers. We then drop in on Jamie.

“This guy's from Cambridge University,” announces Larry, “and he's in the middle of writing a book on us.”

Jamie stands up and heads us off at the door. A monster of a man at around 6′2″, with char-grilled stubble and a piercing cobalt stare, he has the brooding, subsatanic presence of the lone, ultraviolent killer. The lumberjack shirt and shaven, wrecking-ball head don't exactly help matters.

“So what's this book about, then?” he growls, in a gangsterish Cockney whisper, arms folded in front of him, left fist jammed under his chin. “Same old bollocks, I suppose? Lock 'em up and throw away the key? You know, you've got no idea how vindictive that can sound at times. And, might I add, downright hurtful. Has he, Larry?”

Larry guffaws theatrically and clasps his hands to his heart in a Shakespearean display of angst. Jamie, meanwhile, dabs at imaginary tears.

“I happen to think that you guys have got something to teach us,” I say. “A certain personality style that the rest of us can learn from. In moderation, of course. That's important. Like the way, just now, you shrugged off what people might think of you. In everyday life, there's a level on which that's actually quite healthy.”

Jamie seems quite amused by the idea that I might be soliciting his advice. “Are you saying that me and Larry here have just got too much of a good thing?”

Back at other end of the ward, Danny has just been named Man of the Match. “I see he hasn't killed you, then,” he says casually. “You going soft in your old age, Larry?”

I laugh. More than a little nervously, I realize. But Larry is deadly serious.

“Hey,” he says insistently. “You don't get it, do you, boy?” He looks at me. “I said I wouldn't kill you. And I didn't, right?”

And it hits me that Larry may not have been bluffing. The curtain comes down on the football game.

Danny zaps it off. He leans back in his chair.

“So a book, eh?” he says.

“Yes,” I say. “I'm interested in the way you guys solve problems.”

Danny eyes me quizzically. “What kind of problems?” he asks.

“Everyday problems,” I say, and I tell him about some friends of mine who were trying to sell their house.

Ruthless People

How to get rid of an unwanted tenant? That was the question for Don and his wife, Fran, whose elderly mother, Flo, had just moved in with them. Flo had lived in her previous house for 47 years, and now that she no longer needed it, Don and Fran had put it on the market. Being in an up-and-coming area of London, the house had drawn quite a bit of interest. But there was also a problem. The tenant. Who wasn't exactly ecstatic at the prospect of hitting the road.

Don and Fran had already lost out on one potential sale because he couldn't, or wouldn't, pack his bags. But how to get him out?

“I'm presuming we're not talking violence here,” inquires Danny. “Right?”

“Right,” I say. “We wouldn't want to end up inside now, would we?”

Danny gives me the finger. But the very fact that he asks such a question at all debunks the myth that violence, for psychopaths, is the only club in the bag.

“How about this, then?” rumbles Jamie. “With the old girl up at her in-laws, chances are the geezer's going to be alone in the house, yeah? So you pose as some bloke from the council, turn up at the door and ask to speak to the owner. He answers and tells you the old dear ain't in. Okay, you say. Not a problem. But have you got a forwarding contact number for her, cuz you need to speak to her urgently?

“By this stage he's getting kind of curious. What's up? he asks, a bit wary, like. Actually, you say, quite a lot. You've just been out front and taken a routine asbestos reading. And guess what? The level's so high it makes Chernobyl look like a health spa. The owner of the property needs to be contacted immediately. A structural survey has to be carried out. And anyone currently living at the address needs to vacate the premises until the council can give the all clear.

“That should do the trick. With a bit of luck, before you can say ‘slow, tortuous death from lung cancer,’ the wanker will be straight out the door.”

Jamie's elegant, if rather unorthodox, solution to Don and Fran's stay-at-home tenant conundrum certainly had me beat. The idea of getting the guy out so sharpish as to render him homeless and on the streets just simply hadn't occurred to me. And yet, as Jamie quite rightly pointed out, there are times in life when it's a case of the “least worst option.” Interestingly, he argues that it's actually the right thing to do.

“Why not turf the bastard out?” he asks. “I mean, think about it. You talk about ‘doing the right thing.’ But what's worse, from a moral perspective? Beating someone up who deserves it? Or beating yourself up who doesn't? If you're a boxer, you do everything in your power to put the other guy away as soon as possible, right? So why are people prepared to tolerate ruthlessness in sport but not in everyday life? What's the difference?”

Winning Smiles

Jamie's solution to Don and Fran's tenant problem carries undertones of ruthlessness. Yet as Danny's initial qualification of the dilemma quite clearly demonstrates—“I'm presuming we're not talking violence here, right?”—such ruthlessness need not be conspicuous. The dagger of hard-nosed self-interest may be concealed, rather deftly, under a benevolent cloak of opaque, obfuscatory charm.

Psychopaths' capacity for charm is, needless to say, well documented. As is their ability to focus and “get the job done.” It's a powerful, and smart, combination.

Leslie, another inmate, has joined us and has a rather nice take on charm: “The ability to roll out a red carpet for those you cannot stand in order to fast-track them, as smoothly and efficiently as possible, in the direction you want them to go.”

With his coiffured blond locks and his impeccable cut-glass accent, he looks, and sounds, like a dab hand. He also has a good take on focus, especially when it comes to getting what you want. Leslie realized from a rather young age that what went on in his head obeyed a different set of operating principles than most.

“When I was a kid at school, I tended to avoid fisticuffs,” he tells me. “You see, I figured out pretty early on that, actually, the reason why people don't get their own way is because they often don't know themselves where that way leads. They get too caught up in the heat of the moment and temporarily go off track.

“Jamie was talking about boxing there a minute ago. Well, I once heard a great quote from one of the top trainers. He said that if you climb into the ring hell-bent on knocking the other chap into the middle of next week, chances are you're going to come unstuck. But if, on the other hand, you concentrate on winning the fight, simply focus on doing your job, well, you might just knock him into the middle of next week anyway.”

The triumvirate of charm, focus and ruthlessness can predispose someone for long-term life success. Take Steve Jobs. Jobs, commented journalist John Arlidge shortly after the Apple chief's death in 2011, achieved his cult leader status “not just by being single-minded, driven, focused …

perfectionistic, uncompromising, and a total ball-breaker.” In addition, Arlidge noted, he had charisma. He would, as technology writer Walt Mossberg revealed, drape a cloth over a product—some pristine creation on a shiny boardroom table—and uncover it with a flourish.

Apple isn't the world's greatest techno innovator. Far from it. It wasn't the first outfit to introduce a personal computer (IBM), nor the first to introduce a smartphone (Nokia). What Jobs brought to the table was style. Sophistication. And timeless, technological charm.

Apple's setbacks along the road to world domination serve as a cogent reminder of the pitfalls and stumbling blocks that await all of us in life. Everyone, at some point or other, leaves someone on the floor, so to speak, and there's a pretty good chance that that someone, today, tomorrow or at some other auspicious juncture down the line, is going to turn out to be you.

Neural Steel

Psychopaths, lest Jamie and the boys have yet to disabuse you, have no problem whatsoever facilitating others' relationships with the floor. But they're also pretty handy when they find themselves on the receiving end. And such inner neural steel, such inestimable indifference in the face of life's misfortunes, is something that all of us, perhaps, could do with a little bit more of.

Studies of psychopaths have even revealed a brain signature for this relative indifference to setbacks.

Anthropologist James Rilling of Emory University and his co-workers scanned the brains of those scoring high in psychopathy after these individuals experienced having their own attempts to cooperate unreciprocated. The scientists discovered that, compared with “nicer,” more equitable participants, the psychopaths exhibited significantly reduced activity in the brain's emotion hub, the amygdala. This diminished activity, suggestive of a muted emotional reaction, could be considered a neural trademark of “turning the other cheek,” a response that can sometimes manifest itself in rather unusual ways.

“When we were kids,” Jamie chimes in, “we'd have a competition. See who could get the most elbows (rejections) on a night out. You know, from girls, like. The bloke who'd got the most by the time the lights came on would get the next night out for free.

“Course, it was in your interest to rack up as many as possible, right? A night on the piss with everything taken care of by your mates? Sorted! But the funny thing was, soon as you started to get a few under your belt, it actually got f— harder. Soon as you realize that it actually means jack, you start getting cocky. You start mouthing off. And some of the birds start to buy it!”

The Feel-Good Emergency

Mental toughness and fearlessness often go hand in hand. Of course, to many of us lesser mortals, fearlessness may seem quite foreign. But Leslie explains the rationale behind this state—and how he maintains it. “The thing about fear, or the way I understand fear, I suppose—because, to be honest, I don't think I've ever really felt it—is that most of the time it's completely unwarranted anyway. What is it they say? Ninety-nine percent of the things people worry about never happen. So what's the point?
“I think the problem is that people spend so much time worrying about what might happen, what might go wrong, that they completely lose sight of the present. They completely overlook the fact that, actually, right now, everything's perfectly fine.

“So the trick, whenever possible, I propose, is to stop your brain from running on ahead of you.”

Leslie's pragmatic endorsement of the principles and practices of what might otherwise be described as mindfulness is typical of the psychopath. A psychopath's rapacious proclivity to live in the moment, to “give tomorrow the slip and take today on a joyride” (as Larry, rather whimsically, puts it), is well documented—and at times can be stupendously beneficial. In fact, anchoring your thoughts unswervingly in the present is a discipline that psychopathy and spiritual enlightenment have in common. Clinical psychologist Mark Williams of the University of Oxford, for example, incorporates this principle of centering in his mindfulness-based cognitive-behavior therapy program for sufferers of anxiety and depression.

“Feeling good is an emergency for me,” Danny had commented as he'd slammed in his fourth goal for Chelsea on the Wii. Living in the moment, for him and many psychopaths, takes on a kind of urgency.

“I like to ride the roller coaster of life, spin the roulette wheel of fortune, to terminal possibility.”
A desire to feel good in the here and now, shrugging off the future, can be taken to an extreme, of course. But it's a goal we could all perhaps do with taking onboard just a little bit more in our lives.

“Settle in okay?” my guide inquires as we jangle back to clinical psychology suburbia. I smile.

Very Touching..... God Bless These Families!

twas' 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38
when 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven's gate.

their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air.
...
they could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.

they were filled with such joy, they didn't know what to say.

they remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.

"where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.

"this is heaven." declared a small boy. "we're spending Christmas at God's house."

when what to their wondering eyes did appear,
but Jesus, their saviour, the children gathered near.

He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same.

then He opened His arms and He called them by name.

and in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring
those children all flew into the arms of their King
and as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
one small girl turned and looked at Jesus' face.

and as if He could read all the questions she had
He gently whispered to her, "I'll take care of mom and dad."

then He looked down on earth, the world far below
He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe
then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand,
"Let My power and presence re-enter this land!"

"may this country be delivered from the hands of fools"
"I'm taking back my nation. I'm taking back my schools!"

then He and the children stood up without a sound.

"come now my children, let me show you around."

excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran.

all displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can.

and i heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,
"in the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT."

A STORY TO TOUCH YOUR HEART. MERRY CHRISTMAS NO MATTER WHAT IS HAPPENING IN YOU LIFE AT THIS MOMENT.

LOVE AND BLESSINGS.

A man named Bob May, depressed and brokenhearted, stared out his drafty apartment window into the chilling December night.

His 4-year-old daughter Barbara sat on his lap quietly sobbing. Bob's wife, Evelyn, was dying of cancer Little Barbara couldn't understand why her mommy could never come home. Barbara looked up into her dad's eyes and asked, "Why isn't Mommy just like everybody else's Mommy?" Bob's jaw tightened and his eyes welled with tears. Her question brought waves of grief, but also of anger. It had been the story of Bob's life. Life always had to be different for Bob.

Small when he was a kid, Bob was often bullied by other boys. He was too little at the time to compete in sports. He was often called names he'd rather not remember. From childhood, Bob was different and never seemed to fit in. Bob did complete college, married his loving wife and was grateful to get his job as a copywriter at Montgomery Ward during the Great Depression. Then he was blessed with his little girl. But it was all short-lived. Evelyn's bout with cancer stripped them of all their savings and now Bob and his daughter were forced to live in a two-room apartment in the Chicago slums. Evelyn died just days before Christmas in 1938.

Bob struggled to give hope to his child, for whom he couldn't even afford to buy a Christmas gift. But if he couldn't buy a gift, he was determined to make one - a storybook! Bob had created an animal character in his own mind and told the animal's story to little Barbara to give her comfort and hope.

Again and again Bob told the story, embellishing it more with each telling. Who was the character?

What was the story all about? The story Bob May created was his own autobiography in fable form.

The character he created was a misfit outcast like he was. The name of the character? A little reindeer named Rudolph, with a big shiny nose. Bob finished the book just in time to give it to his little girl on Christmas Day. But the story doesn't end there.

The general manager of Montgomery Ward caught wind of the little storybook and offered Bob May a nominal fee to purchase the rights to print the book. Wards went on to print,_ Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer_ and distribute it to children visiting Santa Claus in their stores. By 1946 Wards had printed and distributed more than six million copies of Rudolph. That same year, a major publisher wanted to purchase the rights from Wards to print an updated version of the book.

In an unprecedented gesture of kindness, the CEO of Wards returned all rights back to Bob May. The book became a best seller. Many toy and marketing deals followed and Bob May, now remarried with a growing family, became wealthy from the story he created to comfort his grieving daughter. But the story doesn't end there either.

Bob's brother-in-law, Johnny Marks, made a song adaptation to Rudolph. Though the song was turned down by such popular vocalists as Bing Crosby and Dinah Shore , it was recorded by the singing cowboy, Gene Autry. "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" was released in 1949 and became a phenomenal success, selling more records than any other Christmas song, with the exception of "White Christmas."

The gift of love that Bob May created for his daughter so long ago kept on returning back to bless him again and again. And Bob May learned the lesson, just like his dear friend Rudolph, that being different isn't so bad. In fact, being different can be a blessing.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Beautiful Photos of the Day: Frost Flowers

I love to explore the beauty of nature and I am always on the hunt for interesting images from nature to share with my husband Nazim who is a painter. In my quest for just such imagery, I came across some photos in an article entitled “Suddenly There’s a Meadow in the Ocean with ‘Flowers’ Everywhere,” by Robert Krulwich and there I found some absolutely wondrous images that I simply had to share!

Krulwich describes the scenario that led to the capturing of the images which took place when a grad student named Jeff Bowman was on the deck of a ship with a University of Washington biology team on their way back from the North Pole. Apparently it was bitter cold and as the dawn broke, this young man could see what appeared to be little crystal flowery things, growing on the frozen sea.

Out of no where some delicate, flower like snowflakes forms, appeared as if they were growing like flowers in the dry, cold air “like a meadow spreading off in all directions.”

Apparently every available surface seemed to be covered with them. He asked people in his group what they were. And the answer he received was “Frost Flowers!”

They aren’t really flowers but are more like ice sculptures that grow on the border between the sea and air.

Krulwich reported:

On Sept. 2, 2009, the day Jeff’s colleague Matthias Wietz took these pictures, the air was extremely cold and extremely dry, colder than the ocean surface. When the air gets that different from the sea, the dryness pulls moisture off little bumps in the ice, bits of ice vaporize, the air gets humid — but only for a while. The cold makes water vapor heavy. The air wants to release that excess weight, so crystal by crystal, air turns back into ice, creating delicate, feathery tendrils that reach sometimes two, three inches high, like giant snowflakes. The sea, literally, blossoms.

Krulwich continued:

Jeff’s professor believed that as the poles warm, there will be more and more of these meadows, because there will be more and more open sea that turns to thin ice in winter.

But as beautiful as they are, scientists prize frost flowers because they are so salty. These blossoms suck up seawater, concentrate the salt and have three times the salinity of the ocean. You could think of them as beautiful pickles.

Krulwich added, “If you take a frozen flower and let it melt,” and that’s what Jeff and his colleagues did …

… what you get is about “one to two millilitres of water.” That’s simply very salty little puddles.
And yet, he said, “when he and his colleagues checked, they found each frost flower housed about a million creatures. ‘That’s 10 to the sixth! A million bacteria.”

Did that surprise you? Krulwich asked Jeff:

Aren’t bacteria everywhere? “No,” he said, “not when the environment is so extremely salty, not when these bacteria are sitting on the icy surface exposed to ferociously cold air, much colder than they’re used to in the sea, and not when they are bathed in sunshine, which they don’t see that often and shouldn’t like.”

Apparently these amazingly adaptable bacteria are happy in their salty, sunny, freezing environment, doing their thing — well, that’s the next question: What are they doing?

Professor Deming and her team are eager to figure that out.

Could they be ingesting something? Exhaling something? If these frost flower meadows are going to spread, that might be interesting to find out.

I found the imagery fascinating and I am happy to be warm and dry and enjoying learning about this phenomena from my comfy desk chair.

Planet Alert January 2013

By Admin on behalf of Mahala, on January 1st, 2013

Happy New Year everyone, may this be a wonderful year with surprises everywhere. Remember, we are still in the year of magic and miracles. This past year was very challenging. It was a number five year and five rules change. This year will be a number six year. Two plus thirteen (2013) = fifteen/six.

The tone of 528 hertz is the vibration of love. The number 528 adds up to 15/6. With this number in affect we will see many people moving into unity consciousness, and this is the year when people will start thinking with their heart. It is also a number 13 year which is the number of the Goddess energy that is within everyone. Thirteen is also the number of transformation.

How did you experience December 21, 2012? Did you think nothing happened and life goes on as normal? That was not my experience. I felt waves of energy come in one after another which connected me with a higher frequency. I have heard from many people who had different kinds of experiences. Some cried for days, some felt the earth’s resonance jump in frequency and others felt the energy of the lay lines change. The crying part was around the time of Christmas and lasted until the full moon of December 28th. What a good way to open your heart chakra.

December 21st was just the beginning of the 12 days of Christmas. First we had the alignment with the galactic center and then the three suns lined up which are Alcyone in the Pleiadian system, Sirius, the central sun of the Milky Way and our local sun. Check out this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxMymXI4KAg&feature=player_embedded. It is the best video I have seen about December 21, 2012.

In the eighties there was a movie that came out called The Dark Crystal. This movie talked about how the crystal had to be in place before the three suns lined up and then the change would happen. The movie was based on Atlantis and its destruction. It was also about the search for the right crystal to activate the earth so a new age could start where there was no more war and everyone lived in peace. After I saw that movie years ago I tried to figure out when the three suns would line-up and couldn’t figure out when that would happen so I finally gave up. It wasn’t until I watched the above video that it all came together for me.

The crystals were activated in Arkansas on December 12, 2012 with about 500 people attending an event held by http://www.earth-keeper.com/. ( Ark) Arkansas is crystal heaven, and it lines up with the Galactic Center. They have lots of beautiful crystals there and a mine where you can go and dig for your own crystals.

My friend Mona was a speaker at that event. She also stayed until December 21st so she could do an activation ceremony on that day. Shortly before the ceremony a large electrical storm came over the area where she was staying. Electrical energy really activates crystals so the stage was set for the final activation of the crystals. Many people I know also used crystals in their ceremonies around the world.

This was symbolic of the activation of our crystal light bodies. We are now ready for ascension.

We have been on a roll since the summer solstice of June 21, 2012. This is when I first felt a time shift.

The energy has been increasing in intensity since then. On October 26th the Ark of the Covenant in heaven (a higher frequency) was activated. Then the storm Sandy blew in and the veil came down. The veil going down has been an interesting experience. Now we are being exposed to everything. There are all kinds of realities floating around and it’s your choice which reality you choose to experience. This has been very hard for some people because they don’t know what is going on in their life and in the Universe.

When the veil went down we were exposed to all kinds of negative thoughts that seemed to come out of nowhere and we had to transform those thoughts. It was not only our own thoughts but those of mass consciousness. This was a very hard time period where it seemed like the dark was in full control, although that was just an illusion because the light has won. There will still be dark stuff coming up to be transformed into light for those who are still in the transformation phase.

Actually, it is all about balancing the light and dark within us. The light can’t exist without the dark. We needed to balance our brains so we can become one and manifest Unity Consciousness. The skull and the brain has been a major part in the Mayan calendar. Anyone who has studied the calendar and the pyramids in Mexico know that our skull played a big part in this change. In the Christian church there has been a big deal about the head of John the Baptist and there are pictures of Mary Magdalene with a skull on her lap. This was all symbolic about the changes that had to happen to our brain before we could ascend to a higher frequency.

Some people have lost their memory at times because of this brain activity. With Uranus in Aries, which rules the head and brain, there have been many brain or head challenges in the past year or so. The brain doctors have been very busy trying to figure out what is going on. The magnetic field going down has also affected our brains. How many times have you looked for a word that you just can’t seem to find? It can be very embarrassing at times.

Now we are in a time shift. Time has ceased to exist. We have reached zero point energy. The new element for the fifth world is Ether. What is Ether? Ether is the space between particles in our atmosphere. We all have an etheric body which looks identical to our physical body but functions on a higher frequency. In fact, it is the same frequency as the ether. Is this the body we are going to ascend to? In ether, thought is reality. Thought is transferred instantly through the ether. This means we better think with our hearts because what we think will be what we experience instantly because time is collapsing.

Have any of you had trouble breathing lately? This is because our air is changing. This is not because of pollution or chem-trails or anything like that. Our air is literally changing to a new frequency and it is becoming very dry. The birds have been falling from the sky because they can’t breathe. We need to process this new way of breathing because if we don’t we will have trouble. People who can’t adjust to this higher frequency will start leaving the planet. Have you been coughing? Chances are this is due to changes in the air. Maybe it would be a good idea to talk to our bodies and say something like ‘I love you and I breathe with ease and joy.’ It’s also a good idea to drink lots of water because that helps our body transform.

We have just completed a cycle that started when our solar system was created and that was about 13 billion years ago. That is a long cycle. Our Universe was created in duality so we would have the experience of seeing what duality was like. Then we got caught in the circle of karma and many have been working on getting off that wheel for a long time. When we crossed over the wall of fire and came here we became separated from source. We have spent a long time looking for home. Now is the time we can find home, which is the spark of God within us that is connected to all there is. Welcome home!

There will still be Earth changes, political changes, money changes, and changes within us. I have more information to share so this article is part one with part two on the way when I have time to write it. My friend Mona channeled for me last night and the information about our air changing came from that channeling along with some other information. Lots of love to all of you and create a great year. So Be It!

• In your many lives through the cycle of duality, you have faced immense challenges and as a result grown all the more at a spiritual level. Now duality such as you have known it is losing its power over you, as it recedes into the background. Yet as you wrestle with its influence upon you, and clear yourself of your links to the lower energies, you are facing a strong challenge. We know it is difficult to throw off attitudes, ideas and beliefs, based on what you have been brought up to believe. However, within you have all knowledge and you should look there for the truth, and do not hesitate to move to a new understanding if you are in any doubt. It was easy in the past to be judgmental because that was how people acted, but now you want to move to a new position where instead you see all souls as part of the One.

  Separation was a game the dark Ones played to keep you at each others throats, but now you can refuse to continue living their lie that you are all different. Forget the physical differences, customs and religious beliefs, as behind all of that are beautiful souls of Light exactly as you are. In recognizing the Oneness of everything you are taking your place along side of those ready to move further along the path of Ascension. You know now that your search for perfection is never ending, until you finally return to the Source of All That Is. Yet in your own way you have succeeded in overcoming all attempts to keep you from the truth. You have recognized that you will always be a part of the One Truth of which your contribution is as important as anyone else’s, as without you it would be incomplete.

  You may be leaving behind some unfinished business, but that no longer matters as 2012 saw the completion of the cycle of duality. Karmically speaking you will have dealt with your important issues already, and since the Law of Grace operates at such times all is as you might say “forgiven”. You have learnt your lessons that have lifted you up, and made further experiences in duality unnecessary. The year 2013 thus becomes a year of fulfillment, as you establish a new and more meaningful connection with your Higher Self. It means that unlike the past you can tap the fountain of knowledge that your Higher Self holds, and will no longer need to rely on others for your knowledge or understanding.

  Have we not told you that you hold all knowledge within. Believe in yourself for guidance and you will know intuitively whether you are making the right decisions. This year will be one of immense gains for you, as you accept the ever flowing stream of high energies that continue to reach Earth. Everything is speeding up even faster, and time will gradually cease to have the same relevance as previously. The next part of your Ascension is with Mother Earth, and with our help to create a new Earth that is befitting souls who are growing exponentially and becoming fully conscious Beings. You will then be able to call yourselves “Galactic Beings” and the doors will open to even greater opportunities than you have ever experienced. Your rate of progress is entirely up to you, and once you have made your decision you will have plenty of help from us.

  The most important person on the Earth is you, as it is you who determines where your journey takes you. You choose from the various options available to you, and that is why care is taken to ensure you know what they are. Taking care of yourself and your own needs does not mean that you ignore others, as part of the work of all Lightworkers is to also tend to the needs of others as well. Each soul now has the responsibility to prepare to receive a greater amount of Light, so that their consciousness level keeps expanding. It will keep you firmly on the path to a higher understanding, and help you to continue moving into a higher dimension. The path is there before you and you progress at precisely the speed that suits you. As we have said previously, you are immortal and have all infinity in which to evolve. You are under no pressure to progress except at a rate that you feel comfortable with.

  You have done the hard work by releasing most of the lower energies that have tied you to duality. Now you can be more ambitious and set your sights much higher than previously. The effort you have put in since the Millennium, and particularly during the past few years has yielded much success. There is no need to feel that somehow you have failed simply because Ascension did not meet your expectations. It is in fact quite the opposite, as you lifted the vibrations so that incoming energies could be grounded through you. That set the grid in place that is now able to lift you even further and “Love” is taking over, which is your assurance that you will now advance more quickly and receive the advantages of the New Age. The many delays and the many obstructions that the dark Ones used to hold up progress, can no longer be continued. They do not have the power or the organization to do so, and their activities are being recognized for what they really are.

  We ask you to continue your life with the same focus that you had before, and think positively as all exists in the “Now” waiting for you to manifest exactly what you desire. At different times you have been given sufficient details to know what to expect, and as the new paradigm takes over you shall have every opportunity to benefit from entering the New Age. The present period of uncertainty will be short lived, and soon you will both notice and feel the changes taking place. What you should register is the result of a general upliftment in consciousness levels, because it will bring about a new attitude and willingness to move your civilization into the New Age with all speed. Accept that some inconvenience is inevitable, as the scale of changes is going to be quite far reaching. However, we of the Galactic Federation are ready as ever, always adjusting our plans according to your coming needs. Once we commence rapid advancement will be made, far beyond anything you are currently able to do.

  I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and pleased that your overall reaction to Ascension has been one of acceptance, and you understand that you have not lost out in the Ascension process. All proceeds as ordained and your wonderful future is assured, as you will experience in due course. Our love goes with you wherever you may go, and will ever be.

  Thank you SaLuSa.
  Mike Quinsey.
