The Call Went Out…

World War II

     I am sharing this here in order to provide a frame of reference for the next post.  I don’t want to bore you with too many installments of my personal story of awakening, so I will  take a break from that for now.  So I am just going to tell you a story, and like all good stories, it must begin with these words:

     Once upon a time, in a place far, far away, a call went out across the Universe asking for help.  The beings of light who had agreed to come here to implement the divine plan had lost much of their lightforce through the thousands of incarnations that it took to bring the planet to this point.

    It was around the time of the Second World War that this Call went forth across the dimensions, and reached even the farthest edges of the creation.   The Original company, as a group, could no longer generate enough Light to ignite the Shift that was scheduled to occur early in the 21st century, and without an infusion of additional Light from outside the project, the planetary soul of Earth would suffer in density beyond the time she had  agreed to in order to  provide the field, the soil, within which other smaller seeds of consciousness could safely germinate and grow.

     The Creator, in order to honor the agreement, called all of the Original souls together so they could lend their energy to the appeal.  (Within the framework of our timeline, this happened around the time of World War II.)  In the vastness of space, they gathered.  Their hearts were opened, and the plea went out, combined with the energy of the Creator.  And then they waited.

     It did not take long for the response to come.  From all corners of Creation, they came.  With no intention other than to Serve, to help the unfoldment of the Creator’s plan, they came.  The Original souls were filled with hope and a renewed sense of commitment.  The Light of the beings that answered this call was along the complete spectrum of development within the evolution of Light, the spiral of evolution that we here are moving into at this time.

     Some of the beings were white light.  Solid white.  Some were vibrating a bit higher, and looked like frosted glass.  Semi-transparent, but still pretty solid.  Then there were some who vibrated at such refined rate, the stars behind them were visible through their bodies.  These beings resonated at such high frequencies they were not able to step down their vibrations enough to even begin to incarnate into the extreme density of this place.   But still they came, and served as guides and light realm teachers on the other side of the veil until the Earth reached a vibration that would support the actual incarnation of these higher frequency beings.

     This did not happen in a single step, but rather over a period of decades, and the first ones, the path forgers, blended in so well with their surroundings they were not even noticed.  It was the white light beings that came in first.   Many of them served quietly,  raising the frequency of those they came in contact with, and were themselves often not conscious of what they were doing much less who they really were.  These beings built the foundation upon which the others would expand.

      Their physical presence  here helped the Earth mother begin her long journey out of the darkness.  Beginning in the mid-to-late 1970s and into the early 1980s, another round of these light beings began to incarnate.  These beings were the ones later identified as Indigo children.  Their gifts were more apparent, and they came bearing the message that things were indeed changing upon the face of the world. These beings were the frosted glass level of Light that had waited more than a human generation to bring their gifts to the Earth and to the struggling people.  As the old guard, the Originals, watched and rejoiced, the Light continued to pour forth over the face of the planet.  And their spirits were renewed.

     As the 20th century came to a close, and the millennial shift began in earnest, the brilliant crystalline consciousness of the clear light beings began to make itself known to the people of Earth.  Most of these children actually had to wait until some of the Indigoes came of age, met, fell in love with and married each other, for the frequencies of the clear light beings were of such a refined nature, both sides of the lineage needed to be from the stepped up vibrations of the Indigoes.  It is the crystalline clear light beings that contain the blueprint for the next root race.  These are the true change agents, the ones who will birth the consciousness of a new humanity, and will bring this evolution to its conclusion by opening the door on what is to come.

      We have come to the end of the story, at least for now, but not the end of history.  What an exciting time to be alive.

My Wake Up Call (Continued)

     It may take me a little time to determine whether this push to write is obsession or higher guidance.  I know I promised a weekly post, but I am driven (at least for now) to write.  And so that is what I shall do.  Now, to continue my story.

And Then The Heavens Opened Up

     When we’re used to doing things a certain way, when our pre-loaded response patterns don’t work for the situation in which we find ourselves, it can be very stressful.  This is not because of the particular set of circumstances, but more about our response to it.

     I was riddled with fear.  What am I going to do now?  How am I going to provide for myself and my child?  And then the invisible people started showing up in my living room every night.  Because there is a history of mental illness in my family, I was clearly concerned about this.  And I was very unnerved by the round, red circles that were appearing (then disappearing) on my body and the heat that would sometimes emanate from my joints (primarily elbows, knees, wrists and ankles).  The round red circles came with heat, as well, and when the circles would appear on my front side, it felt like I had a stripe of fire up my spine.  When it rose up into my head and neck, my face would get so hot and red that I looked like I’d been severely sunburned.

     I did keep track of these things, and discovered there was a pattern to it all.  That understanding comforted me somehow, the fact that there was a lack of randomness about it.  Later, after this first wave of energy experiences had subsided and I was immersed in trying to learn more about what was happening to me, I found out that the places where the hot, red circles had appeared were where these things called ‘chakras’ were located.  Most of the time,  the energy surges would start in the late afternoon into the early evening, and would last for hours.  Just when I would think I could not bear it any more, it would subside.  It felt like my back, neck and head were on fire, and the pressure felt like I was going to explode.  I had no idea what to do to make it stop, so I just suffered through it.

      It felt to me like when a person goes to the gym to work out in order to build their strength up.  I was getting a workout of my energy system, I guessed.  The discomfort was actually pretty painful sometimes, and for about a year or so I could not be in groups because I would ‘power up’, and just sit there raging hot and almost sweating and not be able to do anything to stop it.  (I still don’t know why this happened, the powering up sensation in group situations, and if there is anyone out there that could give me some understanding about this, I would appreciate it.)  I avoided gatherings of any sort for quite awhile.

     When all of the physical things started, I wasn’t too bothered.  Though I was scared about how I was going to survive, I also noticed I had a weirdly (and what I thought at the time) inappropriate feeling of relief that seemed to dominate my emotional landscape.  When the invisible people showed up, however, that was another thing entirely.  They would come mostly in the late evening or early morning hours, and would interact with me until almost daylight.  I would get my child up and ready for school, then would go to bed exhausted and sleep for hours until it was time to pick her up in the afternoon.

Image via Wikipedia

     By this point, I had come to the conclusion that something was definitely up, but still didn’t have a clue what.  The extent of my spiritual/metaphysical knowledge was the reading of the autobiography of Jeanne Dixon and the story of Edgar Cayce when I was in middle school, and I had discovered in my early 20s that if I listened long enough to someone talk, I would start to just ‘know’ things about them. (I was so asleep at this time, I didn’t even recognize that as the beginnings of my intuitive abilities coming online.)

      I must add here that as a child, I had had a few out-of-the-ordinary experiences but because of what I witnessed happening to my family member, I shut down that part of my brain somehow.  I believe it was through sheer force of will, and a desire to not be taken from my home (dysfunctional and broken as it was) that I was able to close that door.  And yes, I’ll detail some of those in another post.  I understand quite clearly now that what happened to me starting in late 1989 was the throwing open of that selfsame door.  Because it was time.  Because it was my destiny.

In keeping with my promise to write shorter installments, this story will be continued next time.  See you then.

My Wake-up Call

It Was the 80′s After All

     I had spent the prior decade serving my country by day and educating myself at night.  As a single mother of a child with some challenges, military service provided me with the shelter and security I needed to keep our tiny family off the streets.  I was grateful for the help, but somewhere around the middle of my second hitch, I began to feel a sense of restlessness and discontent, but couldn’t specifically identify why I was feeling that way.

     My remedy for this feeling was to go back to school.  I had gotten my BA in Psychology, and had contemplated pursuing a Master’s in counseling.  I ended up going a different way, and it took four more hard years of study and sacrifice to achieve it.  Looking back, I can clearly see that, instead of diving into the feelings I was having (which I now believe were the beginnings of my awakening) I chose to run from them.

        When we receive signals from our Higher Wisdom, our brains do process them, and our bodies respond to them whether we are conscious of it or not.  One of the ways we may respond to the signals we’re ignoring is with avoidance type behaviours.  The feelings of discomfort that register in our bodies make us uncomfortable, and if we aren’t aware of what is actually happening to us, we do things like: smoke more cigarettes, maybe drink some alcohol to numb it, watch TV, watch more TV,  play video games, play more video games,  or make our lives really busy, so we don’t have time to feel these uncomfortable feelings.

     I chose to pursue a law degree.  Now, for any of you who are reading who also went down that path, you understand how all-consuming that pursuit can be.  And I did this while full-time in the military.  Oh, and yes a beautiful daughter to care for, too.  Could my life get any fuller?  Nope. I shared all this so you could understand just how intense the discomfort was getting, and just how ‘asleep’ I still was at the time.  In retrospect, I can clearly see that I was beginning to wake up, that what I was feeling was the change that was coming.

     A number of things converged around this time as well.  I had injured by lower back in the first enlistment because I was such a mission-oriented individual that I did whatever it took to get the job done, and as a result of that attitude, I am reminded daily of that simple choice.  I have learned to work within the constraints of my physical body instead of ignoring them.  It has been a path of growth in and of itself, this relationship with my limitations.  The pain and problems I was having around that injury led me to a point where I could not feel my foot and had a constant sharp pain radiating down my leg.  I would often be laid up in bed unable to even stand up and took painkillers regularly just to function.  In short, I was a mess.  My life was not even remotely fulfilling, and I could not shake the restlessness no matter what I did.

     I did finish the law degree despite the agony, and passed the bar in the state I was living in at the time, and actually went into partnership with another person.  I went from law school consuming my life to some family law cases consuming my life.  It was a delicate dance, but I needed to stay busy otherwise I would have to deal with that restless feeling, and at that time, I didn’t have a clue there was even anything up, let alone the tools with which to address it.

     When they say that hindsight is 20-20, it really is true.  I can clearly see what I was doing then, but was blind to it when I was in the middle of the experience.  There is value in doing a periodic life review.  There are lessons that can be extracted from those experiences, and I continue to mine precious gems from my past.

     Things eventually reached a boil.  Within the span of months, I found myself retired from the military, unable to even sit upright for any length of time, which inhibited my ability to practice law.  I was confused, scared, and uncertain about what I was going to do next.

In keeping with my promise to write shorter installments, this story will be continued next time.  See you then.

Thank You

     This will actually be a short post.  I just felt moved to express my gratitude to all of those who came to visit in the last week or so.  To those of you who took the time to comment, know that I do value the input.  I have been working with most of what will appear here since my journey began some twenty years ago.  As I began to talk about spiritual things with others, I kept hearing the same thing from them.  “You need to write a book.” or “When are you going to write that book?” or some variation on that theme.  My response was to (mentally) roll my eyes, because I’d been hearing this from Guidance for a long time.

     I did attempt to start a book a few times, but the task was so daunting to me, I gave up.  So this blog is my book.  Like so many others in this ‘-sphere’, I am prodded to spill out of myself words that I hope will reach the people who need to read them.  And I have already realized that – through this medium – I can reach people I never could otherwise.  I am not very educated in how all of this works.  It took me awhile to figure out what little I do know about being in charge of this space, and am still trying to work out some of the things I don’t know yet.

     I ask for your patience as I navigate this (very steep) learning curve.  I will testify to this:  learning something new is great exercise for the brain’s neural pathways.  Doing this blog means I can save learning ballroom dancing for another time!

The Planet is Ascending and So Are You – Part IV

What You Can Do to Help Yourself Get Through this Shift

Image via Wikipedia

     Finally.  Here it is. Part IV.  I did not realize when I started this one what a massive writing project it would be.  I read over what I’ve written, however, and can see how it needed to be put out in this manner.  I hope you can hang in there just a little longer.  This installment will be considerably shorter, as the complicated information was all in the other segments.  This segment will address the things I have learned through trial and error over the years that have been helpful to my body and my spirit as I have made my way through this process.  I hope there will be something in here that will assist you as well.

The Planet is Ascending and So are You-Part III

My model of conscious was – and still is – pretty basic.  I’ve always said there are three major levels of consciousness on this planet. (There are degrees within these levels, but three main divisions).  The first level is what I call Asleep.  These people are all about the business of consuming. They are very focused on their acquisition of things, and their relative place in the pecking order.  Status is important, and the drive to succeed rules their decision-making process.  As I said, there are degrees within these levels.  When we sleep, we go through stages, and our brain wave patterns change.  Basically, we’re a little asleep or very deeply asleep.  Same thing with consciousness.  A person can be really unconscious or be in the process of waking from that slumber.

     The next level in my model of consciousness is Awake.  These people often have a sense of restlessness about them, almost as if they know something is different, but they are unable to pinpoint what that ‘something’ is.  I can look back at the time in my life when I was about to be awakened, and can identify that feeling of restlessness I had.  I knew that the path I had chosen for myself wasn’t working, but did not know the path that would.  There was an undercurrent of unhappiness inside of me, and didn’t know what to do to correct that.  In retrospect, I can see that this period actually lasted almost five years.  How I responded to the energy at the time was I went back to school, feeling that more higher education was what I needed to soothe my restless soul.  My soul was indeed trying to communicate with me, but I was not yet awake enough to even recognize that was what was happening to me.  My Little Self, not my Greater Self, was still very much in charge of driving the bus.

     At some point in the waking process, I actually broke the surface of my long sleep of unconsciousness and opened my eyes.  All kinds of ‘weird’ things began to happen to me (I will write about all that at another time), and my life was permanently changed.  I reoriented my focus, and began to live from a place where I followed my inner promptings to the best of my ability every day.  At this point in the process, a couple of major signposts can be noted here:  your life will usually rearrange itself drastically.  There could be a change in, or maybe even a loss of, your job.  (Check) Your friends will often change as well. (Check) And even your family members or loved ones can be affected.  (Check) Some will be able to shift with you, and some will not.  Those that can’t will literally just fall away.   If this is happening to you, congratulations.  You are officially awake.

   The third level of consciousness is Aware.  This is where the true journey begins.  I suspect that the work here continues for the balance of our lives, and perhaps beyond.  The goal of awareness is, in my opinion, the achievement of enlightenment.  Here is the place where life is lived from a totally different perspective, and the experience of life situations is tempered by an expanded viewpoint.  Does that mean you have now transcended your human-ness?  No. But you are on your way to being free of some of the misperceptions you may have had about what it means to be human.  All of this is by way of introduction to the reading exercise  my unseen teachers gave me, and how that related to my (what I thought at the time was a unique) model of consciousness.

     I finally surrendered to the promptings, and looked up information on the life cycle of the caterpillar.  I immediately made the connection between the three stages of development and my three levels of consciousness model.  What does a caterpillar do?  Why, they spend most of their time eating, or looking for something to eat.  They are all about consumption. Just like many of the people on this planet (at least in the developed or developing countries) today.   The caterpillar is not aware of their butterfly potential.

     At some point in the caterpillar’s life cycle, something wondrous begins to happen.  The caterpillar enters the chrysalis or cocoon stage of existence.  While in this state, the body of the caterpillar literally liquefies.  It dissolves, and rearranges itself into the beautiful butterfly which will soon emerge from within the covering.  And what happens to a person in transition?  One who is waking from the slumber will observe that their life will (likely) undergo some radical changes.  This is often difficult, and many who find themselves in this situation don’t always understand it.  I didn’t understand it when it was happening to me. In fact, I  actually thought I was going insane.  More on that later, as well.  And I will also confess that I was in a lot of fear.  Fear about what would happen to me and, more importantly, how was I going to care for my child?  I did the only thing I knew to do then:  I just did whatever came next for me to do.  That time was two decades ago, and I am still alive and breathing, and my child is now a young adult.

Image via Wikipedia

     One day, the once-upon-a-time caterpillar begins to emerge from the cocoon.  When it does, it waits for its newly acquired wings to dry, then begins to fly.  This creature now has an entirely different perspective on things.  Where once its vision only covered the ground directly in front of it, now the butterfly can see with a much wider perspective.  And so it is with us, as well.

     The most important piece of information wasn’t found in this part of the assignment, however.  The most important piece was in the description of the caterpillar itself.  Contained within the body of the caterpillar is a collection of cells that contain the pattern for its future butterfly self.  And the name of this collection of cells?  It is called the imaginal disc.   No kidding, that’s what it’s called.  The caterpillar simply goes about its business living and eating, with no awareness it even has butterfly potential.

     I am often asked “What do I need to do?”  or “How can I know where I am in my  process?” Well, I believe that we, like the caterpillar, contain within  our makeup the blueprint for our individual evolution.  I have been shown a place in the body where the soul anchors in, and I suspect that this is where this blueprint is stored.  And when the timing is right, without any action on our parts, this Divine Design is activated and things begin to change.  How we respond to this activation is what determines the rate at which our butterfly selves develop.  I did not have any sense, on a conscious level, that such a change was coming in my life.  But arrive it did, and I  rolled with it, for the most part.

     For those of you who may be concerned that your spiritual unfolding is not on track, I say to you:  be at peace.  You are developing according to your unique blueprint.

Leonardo Fibonacci

Image via Wikipedia

     And now to this mix, I add the inimitable Leonardo Fibonacci.  A caveat:  I am not, repeat not, a mathematician.  Nor could I play one on TV.  But I am fascinated by patterns and connections of all kinds, and the work of Fibonacci provides me with almost unlimited patterns to play with.  So I do, which is how I connected the growth/spiral pattern to the evolution of consciousness, and then applied THAT to the process that is being called planetary ascension.

     Briefly, Leonardo Fibonacci was a 13th century Italian mathematician who was educated in North Africa.  Considered by many (who are more qualified than I am to make this determination) to be the most gifted mathematician of the Middle Ages, one of his most well-known number sequences is the focus of this article.  The sequence even carries his name, although he is not the one who gave it that label.

     There is another interesting observation to be made about the Fibonacci sequence that I shall mention here, but will not be a part of this discussion.  The ratio of each pair of numbers in the sequence is very close to the Phi ratio of 1.168033…. (Phi is that infinitely repeating ratio you learned about in school.)  It is also known as The Golden Mean.  The other brief point to be made about this is that the farther up the number sequence you go, the closer to the exact Phi ratio you get, but I’m going to let you do the math on this one.  Just take the higher number and divide it by the next number down.  Have fun.

     Some believe that the Fibonacci sequence,  in addition to defining the beautiful curve of a spiral, also illustrates the pattern of seeds in flowering plants and the growth pattern of all living things, including cells.  I would add that it applies as well to other things.   From the growth of an idea to the birth of a universe, because all of those things also have life, have consciousness.

The Fibonacci sequence illustrated in the growth pattern of a plant.

  The center of a sunflower and the spiral of a nautilus shell.  From the trees in your yard to the great spiral of galaxies in the universe.  All of them contain the imprint of the Fibonacci sequence.  This illustration will (hopefully) serve as a reference point that will help me explain this next point.

     The numbers to the left side of the drawing represent the levels of growth from the first to the twelfth.  The numbers on the right side represent the numbers of the Fibonacci sequence for those twelve levels.  The formula written out above the drawing is how to calculate each level of growth.

     So here goes.  You plant a seed in the ground. It germinates, and soon it sprouts a single shoot.  After a time, it prepares to grow again (this is the second level of growth).  Now, when I used to speak about Fibonacci in my presentations, I would ask the  audience to guess how many shoots would emerge at this second level.   Most often the response would be: 2.  That is not correct.  Referring to the formula above, you can see that the PRIOR level of growth was the seed, or  zero.  The CURRENT level of growth is 1, that first shoot.  So adding the current level of growth to the prior level of growth, we get: 1 (0+1=1).

     The third time the plant begins to grow, if you add the current level to the prior level, you will get: 2 (1+1=2).  The fourth time, the number of shoots is: 3(1+2=3).  The next time, the number of shoots is: 5(2+3=5). And so on.  Now, by this time the audience has the formula down, and we fill in the other levels of growth in the sequence up to the twelfth level.  I already did it, but I am certain you figured it out, too.

     There are a couple of things I would like for you to observe about the growth pattern.  At the twelfth level, the number is 144. (12×12)  And 144 is a harmonic of the speed of Light.

    Also, see how all of the energy is invested in the VERTICAL growth of the plant in the early stages?  Then there is a tipping point that is reached, somewhere around level 10 or 11.   You can see that the growth is now more HORIZONTAL than VERTICAL.  There is EXPANSION happening in this part of the growth spiral.  What does that mean?

     Remember the caterpillar model and the levels of consciousness?  Apply the Fibonacci sequence to the growth of consciousness, and we have an explanation for what is currently happening on the planet.  The seed of consciousness was planted here aeons ago, and for millennia that seed germinated.  Somewhere in our distant past, that seed began to sprout, and slowly but surely has continued to grow.  Most of the energy was focused  on the raising up of the seed of consciousness.

     From time to time, an avatar or master would incarnate to add more light into the mass consciousness grid in an attempt to raise the seed of consciousness in preparation for the next level of growth.  And then the seed of consciousness reached the point where the growth pattern began to expand more each cycle than raise itself.  That is where we find ourselves today.

     The mass consciousness has begun to reach the point of awakening, and because of how the spiral works, this process seems as if it is an acceleration.  Look at the topmost branches of a tree, and you will see how the tree seems to – pardon the pun -  branch out more there than at the lower levels.  We are still raising ourselves up each level, but now we are also expanding ‘outward’ at an incredible rate as well.

     As individuals, what this expansion looks like is more and more ‘everyday’ people are waking up to the possibility of something more to life than they previously knew.  There are indications everywhere.  The movies reflect this.  There are television shows about such diverse topics as paranormal exploration, mediumship, ufos, the ancient seers, crop circles, and living a more spirit-guided life.

     And as a side note, for those of you who are interested in Fibonacci and the interconnectedness of everything, there is a new show starting to air that you must not miss.  Keifer Sutherland’s newest endeavor.  Was told I needed to watch the preview episode, so I did.  I was blown away, because it’s all about Fibonacci, sort of.  Name of the show is Touch.  (Coincidence that I ran across it as I am in the middle of writing  this series of articles? I don’t think so.)

     I know there is a lot here, and this is not going to be the norm for these posts.  But it’s a big topic, and as such needed a lot of words.  I’ve come to the end of this segment, and hope you were able to stay with me.
