You Are What You Decide You Are

Greetings Beloveds.  Greetings from the Love and Light of the Creator.  It is our great joy and delight to come before you.  And we say to you Beloveds, it is a time of great change is it not?  It is a time of wondrous occurrences upon this earth.  For you see Beloveds, you are in a time of critical change upon the earth – a time that has never existed before.  Indeed history does repeat itself, and yet here you find yourselves in a time where there really is no history.  And yet many of you are still trying to create your lives every day as if you were simply repeating yesterday – as if there were a history that could create your present moment, and we say to you that we invite you to let go of what was being a creator upon this earth and to step into something entirely new.  For you are in a new energy now that has never existed before on this earth.  You are in an energy where the human species is transforming while it is in existence, while you are embodied upon this earth.  You are changing.  Your DNA has changed.  Much about your molecular structure has changed and the greatest thing is that your awareness is changing – your awareness of what is possible.  Your awareness of what it truly means to be a creator.  And so as you come back into the memory of what it truly means to be a creator on this earth, you then have the great potential to do anything you wish.  And so we would say to you that this speaker, Rashana, heard a story yesterday where a great healer upon the earth decided that he wanted to lose weight and his way of doing that was to eat a few ounces of dark chocolate every day and to tell his body that it would lose weight by doing so and we say brilliant!  For indeed that is the way of it in these times.  You are the ones who decide now.  It is no longer following the rules and the norms of what it meant to be human in the past.  You have now moved into a new era where you are creating according to your own rules and your own regulations and so you can make up any rules that you want.  And yet we would say, of course, that humanity does not like the word rules and we could say that you certainly could throw that out of your dictionary at this time, for you can create your own guide, your own way of being.  The more humanity is loved and the more people care for each other, the less need there is indeed for rules upon your social game – upon your plane of living in this existence.

And so knowing that you can create whatever you would like, we would ask you, what will it be Beloveds?  What will it be that you will create for yourselves?  Just like eating chocolate to lose weight, you could play every day to make money.  You could do what you love every day and call it your way of being – your way of living.  You can create this for yourselves if you truly believe it is possible.  And yet many of you are not willing to believe that anything outside of what has been for eons of time is possible and so you restrict yourselves.  There is no one restricting you any more upon this earth.  It is you restricting yourselves.  It is you disciplining yourself and you managing yourself.  Very often people look outside of themselves and put the blame on your social system for the way that they must live and we say to you, that was true in the past but it is not true any longer.  And so we invite you to look at the truth about where you hold yourself back.  And we know that many of you can relate to that.  Many of you say … perhaps you are in a relationship that you have been in for many, many years and you convince yourself that you really could not change that.  There are things that you would like to be different in your life but you know it is not your relationship holding you back.  You trick yourself into believing this where in the deep truth within your heart you know it is the relationship.  And so we are not telling you what to do and saying what your choice should be in this regard.  We are simply pointing out to you that so many of you say you would move forward if you could and yet you keep these restrictions upon yourself and you fool yourself into thinking that it would not have any impact on your life.

This is just a small example of how you keep yourselves in the box Dear Ones.  You keep yourselves in the box of what has been and you do not allow yourselves to expand into the great possibility of what it is to be human in these times.  And we say to you, when you follow your heart – when you feel a passion and you run with that passion – regardless of what happens around you, then you are truly creating from a place of freedom.  What if you following your passion leads you to South America?  Will you stop yourself because it means selling your home?  Many of you would.  And yet, if you were to follow that dream, the joy of your heart, it could lead you to a life more fulfilling than you could ever have imagined.  Many of you restrict yourselves in this way, making excuses of why things need to stay the same.  This is what we speak of when we ask you to step out of the box.  Grow your worlds Dear Ones.  Only when you step out of the fear will this happen.  Oh, we hear you saying, but how do I follow my dream when I don’t have the money or the means or the time to create something new?  The answer is just to be willing.  Just be willing and watch how the universe can lead you to your dreams.  When you are consciously creating the love of your life, just follow the opportunities that present themselves.  And remember, it may not look like what you think it should look like.  It may look like something entirely different from what you would have imagined and yet it will lead you to the place of your highest choice at the time.  Be willing and be aware.  Be conscious of the universe showing you to your dream.  It is living in this level of consciousness that will lead you to your greatest joy.  Speak of what you desire, let go of it and believe that it is coming and then be willing to walk a new path.  this is the way of it Dear Ones.  This is the way of the new earth – the earth that those of you who are reading this message are residing in.  believe it or not, this is your new earth.  It is your creation.  What will you make it beloveds?  Every thought is creating not only your world but the experience of all.  That is testament enough to the need to be creating consciously.  Make it beautiful Dear Ones.  You deserve nothing less.  And so it is.

Awaken to You

2013 Feb 22 - from The Council of Nine

And so we would like to speak to those who are ready to hear our words this day – ready to hear our messages.  We are deeply honoured with this opportunity to be present upon this earth – to stand before the humans who are lifting this earth into the higher dimensions of light who are lifting this earth into a new level of creation.  And we say to you Beloveds, it is your willingness to come with her that is allowing this transition to happen.  For she could have shifted quite some years ago without humanity but you didn’t want to be left behind.  You did not want to miss this great opportunity.  And so it is that you are here and now there are many of you who are leading the way, ready to morph into someone new – ready to be present in the world in a new way.  And it is to you that we offer our appreciation.  You are the ones who are showing others how to find their way.  And so we would say to you that by being the leaders there are many, many thousands who will be following behind you.  It takes the leaders to show the way, for then the greater mass of the population to follow behind.  And so it is the courage of the leaders that brings the earth to a new way of being.  And so it is to you that we speak, those who have the courage to be walking into a new experience without a trail broken, so to speak, to be clearing the path as you go, to be creating with your own powerful minds and your own greatest desires to be creating a new world that others can then follow into.  And so as you create your abundance, as you find your way living by doing what you love to do.  As you find your way back to the land.  As you find your way back into a greener way of living, as you find your way back into community, know that you are showing the way for the majority of humanity.  Know that you are changing the earth with every decision you make.  Do not take this as a burden of responsibility.  We offer it more to commend you for all that you are doing, for we see your courage and we see your bravery and we see your determination.  We see your desire to be living a life of heaven on earth.  And so we are here supporting you in creating that.

And so Beloveds, as you create that beautiful earth that you wish for yourself, as you keep your thoughts pure and positive and you hang on to the faith and the hope that things will be better, know that it shall.  For indeed, you are creating with every thought.  And so as you think pure and loving thoughts you create a beautiful peaceful world.  And as you think rich, abundant thoughts, you are creating a world where there is no suffering.  And as you expand into love and joy you show each human how worthy they are.  And so the more you expand into yourself, the more you are offering to the world.  Anad so we would like to speak to you of selfishness as a very misunderstood term in your social organization.  Indeed there are those who could be called selfish – those who think only of themselves.  But we would call it greed, for we would say that you can do for yourself and love yourself without ever becoming greedy.  For in truth, the more you love yourself and do for yourself and feel complete within yourself, the more you want to give.  It is giving from the heart.  Selfishness is when you are told not to care for yourself and so therefore you don’t receive and therefore you feel like you must take and grasp, and that is what creates the greediness.  That is your societal norms of selfishness.  True caring for the self and feeling the self full of love is so far from selfishness, it is pretty much the opposite. 

And so we invite you to love yourselves pure, love yourselves free, love yourselves into joy.  Allow yourselves to receive, trust and know that you deserve whatever you desire.  And as soon as you desire it, trust your inspiration that wants to lead you there.  That which does not come immediately, trust and know that it is not time yet – that it will come when it is time.  And so as you love yourselves, again you are showing the rest of the world the way to freedom.  For there is no freedom without fully loving the self.  Instead you are enslaved to your dysfunctional thoughts, enslaved to your self judgement and your self-discrimination.  It is only when you are fully loving yourself that you can free yourself from all that turmoil – free yourself to be all that you are, the total and real expression of you because there is no judgement.  When you are loving yourself you are loving every piece of yourself.  Even that which society has perhaps criticized in the past, you know that that is not the truth.  You know the truth that every character trait that you have is lovable.  And if it appears as not lovable, as soon as you love yourself it will simply disappear.  For when you love yourself you would not want to carry that trait.  When you love yourself you would understand that it is not the true essence of you.  It is something that somebody else created as you and you would simply let it go.

And so in this full expression of being in love then only love can show up in your world.  It is the way in which Jesus healed, by seeing each person as whole and complete.  There was nothing to heal, in his eyes, and therefore there was nothing to heal.  This is what we are asking you to be in your own eyes.  There is nothing not to love so therefore it is all love.  There is nothing that needs fixing, so therefore it is all fixed.  There is nothing that is broken so therefore it is whole and complete.  And so again, we invite you to be honest with yourselves about any area of your life where there is anything less than this love which we speak of.  Anything less than that is where your wounds are.  So find those wounds Beloveds.  Work through them and heal them.  Cry over them and love them and see them and feel them and let them be free.  Do not cover them up any more, for when they are buried they are lurking, like shadows in the dark.  Uncover them so that they may be released into the light, so that you may become that whole, complete person who fully loves themselves.  Then watch how your world unfolds Beloveds.  The more of you who exist on the earth in this place of pure, devout love of self, knowing that, in truth, it is love of the creator of all that is – knowing that, in truth, there could be nothing less than loving the self.  For how can that very essence that created everything not be lovable?  All it is, is pure love and so how could you not love yourself when that is what you are.

So let go of the illusion of not loving the self.  Let go of the mind’s plot to overtake the truth of who you are.  Silence the mind so that you may return to the heart.  Know dear Ones that who you came as in this incarnation is exactly what you chose to have in your experience.  How you look how you act, where you are vulnerable, where you are weak, where you are aggressive, where you are loud, how you look what you wear, the tone of your voice…. Everything was chosen to support this journey so you could have the experiences that you wanted to have.  How could there be anything wrong?  How could there be anything to criticize and judge?  Find your way back.  Find your way back into your heart that knows that this life experience is just what you chose, that loves the fact that you feel too fat and so you are learning from that – that loves the fact that you have dyslexia and so you have gotten to experience that – that loves the fact that you are stunningly beautiful and yet you feel insecure.   You all think that there is one easy way and what you have chosen is hard, and yet we would say to you that everybody’s experience, in their own way, feels hard and challenging until they find their way back.  Until they realize how perfect they are just the way are and that anything less than just the way they are wouldn’t be perfect, although there is perfection in pretending to be other than you are because that also is your experience.

Come awaken with us Beloveds.  Come awaken.  Awaken to you.  As you look into another’s eyes, see your soul there and ask yourself, what do you see?  Do you see their pain?  Uncover it with compassion for it is your pain.  Do you see their sadness?  Connect with it with understanding, for it is your sadness.  Do you see their joy?  Celebrate it with them, for it is your joy. 

And so it is this day we have given you much to consider about the journey of life – the journey of love.  For life is lived for the purpose of finding one’s way back to love.  That is why you came here.  That is what this earthly school is about.  And now you have moved into a new game.  You have graduated into senior high school so that you can play on this earth in a new way.  You can begin to play in love with yourself and see how that feels and see what you can create.  You have graduated, and so we are inviting you to do your homework so you can accept this graduation into this new level of being.  And so that homework is to love yourself, to find your way back to loving yourself.  For it is then that you are ready to graduate to a new level.    And so we leave you this day beloveds, very privileged to have this honour to speak with you, to share this wisdom with you and invite you into the higher dimensions of reality, to invite you into all of you, for everything exists there.  Everything is there – within your heart.  Look inside and stop searching.  Find the light that is you and you will have found the joy, the bliss, of creation itself.  And so it is.

A NEW LEVEL OF EXISTENCE

This is another channeling from my latest book, soon to be published as an eBook.  It is called The Spiritual Seeker's Guide to Happiness.  Enjoy what the Council of Nine have to share with us about living in this new world.

And so it is Beloveds that we are delighted to gather once again.  And once again we say to you how joyous we are that we have the privilege of standing before the beautiful humans who are recreating the planet.  For you see, it is your willingness to change and become something so grand that all of the heavens are watching, that has led to the new earth.  Yes, you are residing on a new earth.  You are living on a new planet.  She has morphed and moved into a higher resonance and so have you.  Now, she could have done it without you, but not with you unless you were willing to grow and expand along with her.  And we are so grateful that you were willing.  It was a bit of a ride.  The year 2012 was full of downloads as you like to say.  It was full of energy transmissions that knocked the physical body a bit hard at times.  But now here you are.  You have made it into the higher dimensions of Light.  Your world has changed and so have you.

There are many who do not recognize the change.  Actually, for many, things do not look very different.  That is not because they are living somewhere else in the physical sense but in the energetic sense of what they are creating in their lives, they are.  They are repeating the past over and over and over.  They do not realize that they can create something new now.  They do not know how because they do not even have the awareness that change is possible.  Those are the people who are struggling in these times and finding life difficult.  If they are open to hearing of a new way, we would recommend  sharing your experiences of life.  Share how, when you expect something new in your life it arrives and how, when you let go of your old beliefs, something new can become your reality.  For those who are lost in the way of fear and despair, send them love so that they may feel it and it can offer them hope.  And for those of you who know that the world has changed and can feel the new energies of earth, congratulations.  You have brought yourself to a new level of existence.  From here it is a joyous ride of discovery into a new way of living.  It is like being a child again, learning how to be in the world.  For those of you who very consciously grow and expand, you will have the most fun.  For you will see yourself changing almost daily.  One day you may feel a deep connection to Spirit and another day you may feel like there is no connection at all.  As you become more powerful within yourself, you come to understand that all is within.  There is no need to look outside of yourself for anything.  Not for love, not for information, not for comfort.  It is all within.  In that level of existence there is great peace and contentment.  Life is just an experience without attachment to anything.  Every day offers new opportunities of discovery.  There is no expectation of what it will be and a great acceptance of what it is.  This is the way of living in the higher octaves of existence.  This will continue to grow and expand within you as you integrate these energies and bring them into the fullness of your knowing.  This is the possibility you are currently in.  You have passed the marker and now are growing into the new way of being.  You are growing into the thousands of years of peace and harmony.  How delightful it is for us to witness these changes and see all the humans around the globe, stepping into this new opportunity.

As this continues to grow and change, you will see many world governments begin to change as well.  There are many governments and bureaucracies that cannot survive in this new energy.  They have no choice but to change.  Do not be fearful about what you see but stay in a place of peace and harmony within your heart.  It is the old crumbling to be replaced with a system that is more in resonance with the new earth upon which you are currently living.  It is a new system arising that will be in support of all of humanity and will have concern for all life.  The system that is crumbling almost destroyed this planet.  It may be a rough ride for a bit through the transition but, considering the near destruction of the earth, is it not worth a few challenging years as it changes?  Indeed we believe you will agree.  For you see, as all these changes are taking place, the human heart is opening.  It is feeling safer to be true to itself and it is feeling safer to be in love – the love of self that allows you to then open yourself up to the world.  As it becomes safer to be fully loving in this world, then, of course, there is more love in the world.  For you see Dear Ones, everything is energy.  You are energy and your thoughts and feelings are energy.  As you offer love out to the world know that it then becomes part of the experience of the all.  It doesn’t just tap on the door of your neighbours, it travels the world.  For those of you who yearn to travel, just send out your love Light and know that it is travelling the world.  Send it to those places that you so yearn to be and your own energies will magnetize you to that place.  This is the way of the world in which you are now living. 

It is important to understand that there are no barriers, no limits to what you can do with your energy.  You can impact the entire universe if you choose to do so.  In some way, you already are.  And so be playful.  Use your love energy to bless all of humanity.  Send your love energy to the earth every day.  Ask that each step you take is a blessing for Mother Earth and then know that to be true.  When you state such an intention, you are indeed marking every footstep with love.   You leave a trail of Light, like fairy dust, as you travel and go about your day.  It is so easy to offer your love to the world.  It just takes intention.  Intention is a powerful tool for your growth.  Intention is creation.  The particles that make up your reality respond to intention, even when you are not aware of it.  The particles that make up matter are only responding to your intentions in every moment.  So, this is another reason to be very aware of every thought.  What are your intentions toward other people?  It is all your experience so if your intentions are not always pure and loving, you will feel them.  It means that you are not purely loving yourself.  So be aware in every moment of what your intentions are with your thoughts as well as your deeds.

This is our transmission for this day Dear Ones.  As always, it is our joy and delight to come before you and to share this understanding with you.  Stand strong in your convictions to be whole.  Raise the sword of your majesty in this world and claim your position among the place of kings.  End the pandemic of being a small, disempowered human.  You are creators.  You are magnificent Beings of the Light.  Feel your majesty and use it to be a loving beacon to the world.  It is your experience that awaits you.  It is your divine path that lies before you.  Claim it Dear Ones.  We love you so.  And so it is.

The Spiritual Seeker's Guide to Happiness

This is the first 'essay' from a book I am currently editing.  In October 2012 The Council of Nine approached me asking if I would be willing to sit at my computer and receive their messages for the earth.  I told them I would get back to them :")  When researching them I found their messages to be very loving and so our journey together began.  There are 94 essays in total in the book.  I am offering a few of them here for your own understanding of where 2013 is leading us and what they feel is important for humanity as we move forward.  

FIRST SESSION WITH THE COUNCIL OF NINE

And so it is that we come before the Earthly plane this day to offer guidance and love.  We are speaking through a new channel and delighted to bring our energies through her filter.  For, in channeling, the Being who is receiving the message is doing so through her own filter.  This one has a loving and graceful heart and we are pleased that she has accepted this invitation to bring our messages to the world.

We begin by commending all who are reading this book for your monumental growth as a human being on this Earth.  You are magnificent and we wish you to pat yourselves on the back for all that you have accomplished in morphing yourselves into a new human.  We invite you to look at your life just a short year ago.  How different are you now?  We are certain that you will see great growth, great change in who you are now compared to a mere year ago.  That is huge –an accomplishment not to go unnoticed.  And yet we see that many of you are still punishing yourselves with what you think you should have done or who you think you should be and we say that you are perfect in every way.  Please take heed of our words.  There are no mistakes in your life – no wrong turns or mistaken paths.  It is all unfolding just as it was meant to be.

 At the same time we tell you that you can change on a dime and become someone new.  You can drop all the old patterns of the past and create a more rewarding life in this moment.  Most of you, up until now, would not allow yourselves to do that.  You would not step into the fullness of who you are becoming.  You had trouble accepting that life could change just like that.  It can and you can make it so.  As you see yourself desiring something different in your life all you have to do is believe it is possible and you can make it happen.  The difficulty is that you have to let go of who you were in order to become the fullness of who you are.  This can be challenging.  You have been one person for so long it is hard to imagine being someone else even though you want change in your life.  In order to bring that change, you have to change.  We hope this makes sense.  We hope this gives you greater understanding of what is required in order for you to redirect your lives and create the heaven on Earth that you have been waiting for.  You are the ones who will create it.  No one else can do it for you.  You are humanity and you are a creator race.  You have all the abilities to create but you have had those attributes robbed from you.  Now it is being given back.  Now we ask you to play with this idea of re-creating your life and stepping out of your smallness and claiming your brilliance.  Believe in yourselves.  KNOW that if you can dream it you can be it.  It is true.  This is not some fluffy whimsical saying.  It is the TRUTH.

We leave you now with the deepest blessings of love that you can hold in these times.  We wish you to know that you are dearly loved and the universe awaits your enlightenment.  And so it is.

A New World

I asked AA Gabriel for a message of what this new beginning means for humanity.  

And so it is Beloveds, that we come before you this day, and we say to you - congratulations.  You have done it!  You have passed the marker and you are now residing on a new earth.  Oh Dear Ones, you have no idea how significant this is.  All of the heavens watches as humanity recreates what has ever been.  In this transition you have not only crossed a marker in your travel through your galaxy, you have created a marker of evolution.  For you see, never before has a species of humans, on any other planet, in any other planetary system, ever done what you have just accomplished.  It is such an event that will be recorded in the annals of time.  

And so it is our deep honour to stand before the humans who made the choices into the Light that have allowed this great evolutionary process to take place.  We bow before you.  We commend you for all that you are and all that you have accomplished.  And we say to you, the fun is just beginning.  You again have no idea what you are stepping into and yet you bravely move forward.  And for good reason, for there is great joy and delight that awaits you.  For those who read these words we say to you, stand strong in your mission to serve the Light and to love yourselves.  For Beloveds, nothing is more important than the love of self.  Look inside and discover who you are.  Be kind to yourselves and others.  And know that you are now creating a new world.  The formula has not been written.  You are creating it as you go.  And so, more than ever before, every thought is marked.  What do you believe about yourself?  What do you believe about others?  What do you believe is unfolding in your world?  Be wise in the choice of your thoughts, for they are creation itself.  This is true more than ever before. 

Our scribe has asked us to speak of what you can expect now that you have crossed this marker and we say to you, expect to see whatever it is that you create with your mind.  If enough of you believe in peace and harmony, you will create that.  However, if enough of you hang onto the past and believe in war and injustice, then those people will see that unfolding in their lives.  As you rise into the higher dimensions you become more powerful creators.  Being a more powerful creator means that your life unfolds according to your thoughts at a faster rate than in the past.  If you like what you see in your life, celebrate - you are on the right track.  However, if you feel like your life is falling apart, look at where that is and explore.  Let us say that you are having financial troubles and they seem to be magnifying.  Look at your beliefs around money.  Do you believe that every time you get ahead something happens and the money disappears?  If you believe this then you will create life experiences that prove you are right.  Everything is in response to your thoughts.  Do you believe that you must be alone to be on a spiritual path?  Then you will be alone, even if you think that you would like to have a life partner?  It is the underlying beliefs that can play tricks on you if you are not willing to honestly look at what they are.  Once you find them and release them, your life will change like magic.  Once you believe that you are rich, and you have cleared out all the thoughts that would undermine your new choice to be abundant, then you will see money flowing easily.  Then you can begin the cycle of receiving and giving.  Until you believe in receiving, you will not allow this to happen.

And so, when asked what the world will look like now that you have passed this important marker that was December 21, 2012, we say to you that it is your decision.  Each of you create your individual lives and together you create the mass experience.  However, we will say to you that the masses may be experiencing strife and suffering and yet those who see only joy and harmony for themselves will not feel that suffering.  They will have compassion for others, but it will not be their experience because they do not believe it to be their experience.  They will see that others are suffering but they will know that they are protected and supported and so they shall be.  They will be in the right place at the right time instead of the wrong place at the wrong time.  This is how it works now that you are creating the new earth.  The more of you who are choosing to see love and compassion in the world, the easier the transition will be.  So, choose wisely Dear Ones.  We are here guiding you, offering our love to you and congratulating you on all that you have accomplished in these amazing times on planet earth.  Be proud, for you have done what was once thought to be impossible.  You have made it to the new millennium, into the Age of Aquarius.  This is the Age of Enlightenment.  Enjoy the journey Beloveds.  You deserve to be here.  Make it joyful and full of Light.  Be all that you came to be.  Step into the fullness of you, for there you will find all the love of the universe.  You are human.  Walk tall and know that this day you changed the universe.  And so it is.

More Wisdom from a Tree

A couple of days ago I connected with my tree friend, Henrietta.  I asked her what she would like to share with me.  The wisdom that she presents is so profound.  This is her beautiful story ...

2012 December 14

HENRIETTA

Once upon a time there was a young lady who loved with all her heart.  She was alive in the romance of her imagination.  Everything in the world was romantic to her.  She dreamed of her handsome prince.  And you know, he came along.  He showed up because she dreamed of him.  She created him as her experience.  She had a pure and loving heart and it called to her true love.  She was radiant after finding him.  Her face was so joyous that others were forced into a smile at the appearance of her.  The love that flowed from her radiated out like sunshine.  As she walked down the street she lifted the world.  Each person who passed her by was touched by love.  She was changing the world.  Every word she spoke carried tones of kindness.  Each breath she took was filled with gratitude.  She lived in a world that many not dare dream of and that is why she was different.  She dared to dream.  She believed it was not only possible but that it would happen for her.  She was the enigma. 

She and her prince lived a long and happy life together.  They had children and pets and gardens.  They cared for each other and they cared for the land.  They cared about their grandchildren and their neighbours.  They did not buy into the fear that the media tried to send them.  They did not buy into the lack that was apparent in their world.  They focused on their love and their abundance of joy.  They lived their entire lives this way.  When they died, so many came to pay their respects that they had to have two ceremonies.  One ceremony was of the people who knew them dearly.  It was those who had the privilege of seeing their lives intimately and knew how they lived.  They did not mourn, they celebrated.  For they knew that they were not gone, they had just moved to another experience.  They knew that they could still connect in their hearts.  Instead of feeling a loss, they celebrated the lives of this couple and all that they showed the world with their love.

The other group was mourning.  For you see, the other group did not live close enough to the loving couple to fully understand the magic that they had.  They only saw them passing on the street or they served them in one of the stores.  They saw them out and about and knew of them but did not know them intimately.  This group mourned.  They mourned because they believed that the world had lost something.  They did not see that the lovely couple was an aspect of who they are.  They did not see the same qualities within themselves and therefore they thought that the world had lost something.  The first group did not mourn.  They knew the world had gained something and that the couple had also shown them something about themselves.  The mourning group did not see this.  They saw only loss.  They did not have the experience of finding that love within and so they mourned.

That is my gift to you this day Rashana.

A Tree named George

If you could say anything you wanted to a human what would it be?

That is interesting Rashana.  There is much I would like to say.  The first would be to notice.  Notice what is around you.  Get outside of your head and see the world that surrounds you.  Many of you are so busy in your thoughts all the time you may as well never leave home.  You are looking inside, listening to your busy thoughts that are really just going in circles, spinning around and around in your heads and never seeing outside.  Use your eyes to look.  Look into the distance, what do you see?  Look outside of you but close up, what do you see?  Truly look around you.  This would be the first thing that I would say.  Your world will begin to feel bigger when you do that because you will actually be expanding your awareness by looking outside of yourselves.  It will surprise many of you how different you will feel just by doing this one activity.  Then, as you begin to truly see outside of you, look at the finer aspects of what you see outside of you.  At first you see a flower garden as you walk by it every day.  Then, look onto the soil of that garden.  What do you see there?  Are there bugs, fallen petals, spider webs?  What microcosm is within the macrocosm that is garden?

As you begin to do this in nature, you may find it expanding into other areas of your life.  How many of you truly know the nature of those around you?  We could say that some of you do not even know your children.  You are so busy making supper, putting them to bed, getting them ready for school, and running out the door only to pick them up later for their extra-curricular activities that you have no time to stop and ‘see’ who they truly are.  So, this can apply to many areas of your life.  Stop and take the time to get outside of your head and into your life.  That would be the first thing that I would say.

Another thing that I would say to people is to laugh more and enjoy life more.  Stop taking yourselves so seriously.  Life is meant to be playful and joyful, especially for humans.  You have the nature to be light and carefree yet your lives of being so busy and so away from nature, makes you very serious.  This will change soon.  There will be natural disasters that will help you to understand what is truly important in life.  It is not the latest fashion or a bigger TV.  You will come to realize that it is the love of family and community and life itself that is precious.  You are so far removed from that now that your values are misplaced.  That is going to change.  Do not be afraid.  Embrace this, for the changes are bringing people closer together.  Do you think, when 2 million people in NY are without power, that they rediscover the value of sharing with each other and helping each other out?  Do you think that people who may have been neighbours for five years, will then open up to each other and actually inquire about one another?  Yes.  It is events such as these that lead you to understand the greater value of life, outside of your small world once again.  The world of shopping and looking young is a narrow perspective.  As this changes, you will come to have a greater appreciation for the older members of your society and a deeper appreciation of the simpler things in life, like sharing with one another.  As the world changes and things become simpler, you will find that the joy factor rises.  There are people in the world who live in dire poverty and are much more joyful than most North Americans.  It is because they still have the values of connecting with one another and finding their joy there. 

So, ask a tree what they would tell you and this is what you get.  We see the way people are in this world.  We would be happy to be noticed and to share our love with you.  First you must see us.  You will not see us if you never lift your heads to look around.  There is so much to see outside of yourselves.  After all, we are your creation.  Why not look outside and see what it is that you have thought up.  Mother Earth will appreciate your noticing as well.  She sustains us all.  Every time one of you notice, she rejoices, for she feels that love that you have for her.  It sustains her just as she sustains us.  Send her your love by loving a tree or a flower or the sky.  It really is you loving yourself, for we are all connected.  This is my message to you this day.  Go visit a tree.  Connect with it in your mind.  Appreciate it and see how you feel.  We are waiting.  You can heal the planet very quickly with your love.  Start now.

The Council of Nine

In early August, while meditating, I was asked to start channeling The Council of Nine.  I have not posted any of their messages.  It felt like very sacred work.  It will soon be a book entitled Essays from The Council of Nine.  There have been times - like yesterday - when I could hardly connect enough to bring anything through.  It came from self doubt which led to not feeling well.  Thanks to my dear friend who supports me in clearing all of my false beliefs, today is a whole new day. I could feel so much of the message today that I decided to share so that we can all start to walk in the full expression of who we are.  Here it is:

WHAT IT IS TO BE IN LOVE 

And so it is that we come before you once again Beloveds, in the name of love and grace.  For we see before us the queens and kings of Light in this world and we rejoice.  And again we say to you that you are the saviors of this earth.  There is no waiting for some outside savior of the Light to come and rescue you Dear Ones.  It is already done and you did it.  There was no king of heaven coming other than yourselves.  The second coming is the time that you are in.  it is the time when your DNA shifted so that you could hold more light and be your own masters and you are here.  You have done it.  Oh, you may look at your lives and think nothing has changed, and we would ask, has it not changed?  Think of what your life was like 10 years ago.  Have you changed?  Are you different?  Do you think differently now than you did back then?  We are sure the answer will be yes.  For you see, the awareness around you – the prana, the breath of the earth has changed and so you must be changed as well.  The energy of your surroundings has changed and so you must change in order to be in resonance with your environment. 

For those of you who feel out of resonance with your environment, we say to you, look at your surroundings and ask where you are out of sync?  Where are you out of sync with your soul choices?  If your soul is choosing a change in your way of living, your way of existing upon this earth, and you are not flowing with that desire for change, then you will be out of harmony with your soul’s desired destiny and you will then feel that disharmony in your life.  So, if your life feels out of harmony, look within and ask your soul what changes it is choosing.  You will know the truth of it in your heart.  It is your unwillingness to look at it truthfully that keeps you eluded – that keeps you from tricking yourself into thinking you do not know the answer.  You definitely know the answer.  The question is are you willing to see the answer?  And then are you willing to make adjustments that resonate with the answer – to begin living the life that is in harmony with what you have come to do?  And so, if you are feeling discontent or out of harmony with life, it is time to explore inside.  The answers are not outside of you.  That is running away from the truth of the answer.  You will not find any solution there.  You must look within to find the grace of your existence.  You must look within to find the truth of your heart’s desire.  Then you will feel fulfilled, because you are filling up from the inside out instead of the opposite.  Trying to fill up from the outside in is trying to find joy out of clothes, and things, and people and addictions.  It never brings fulfillment.  It usually brings self-hatred as a matter of fact.  You shop and then regret it.  You have sex and then feel empty.  You drink and then realize your problems haven’t gone away.  The only place to find fulfillment is within.  And the only requirement to find success is willingness.  As soon as you are willing to truthfully look at that which is keeping you from moving forward, it will be revealed to you.  The moment you are ready to grow as a person, your helpers will arrive.  The way will be shown to you.  All you have to do is recognize the signs and the people when they arrive.  Know that it may not look like what you think it will.  Know that your helpers can come dressed in different packaging than you would have chosen.  Trust Beloveds.  Trust that Spirit knows what it is doing.  The way to the Light is not the way you have been living so allow new situations to come into your life.  Allow new people to come.  Follow the understanding in our heart.  Does your heart say yes?  

Sometimes the truth is so profound that it takes days to absorb the experience.  Sometimes it feels like fear because the soul recognizes deep change.  Do not be fooled into thinking it is wrong.  If you feel fear, ask is this fear or excitement?  Ask, is this leading me to my highest good?  If, when you ask that question, you feel a sigh or feel lighter, then the answer is a yes.  If you still feel fear or feel heavier then it is not the best choice for you.  Believe in these tools and learn to discern these feelings.  There will be times when the truth can lead to tears that almost feel like fear, but it is the fear of stepping into the highest possible aspect of who you are.  It is a fear that knows that your life will never be the same, but in a good way.  It takes courage to step totally out of the old you and into the new, more magnificent you.  One would not think that it would be a fearful thing, but it is because you know that you will not walk this earth in the way that you have.  Things will change.  Even though they will be changes that you have yearned for or they would not be coming, still change means something new.  Change means something unknown and the physical body likes the familiar.  The spiritual body is ready for the change, for it has a knowing of what lies ahead but the physical body does not believe it.  It thinks the only safe place is where it has been, so it does not see the potential.  And so you need to learn to listen to the spiritual knowing and not the physical body.  Do not be limited in your life Dear Ones.  Everything that you have ever desired is possible and waiting for you to step into the fullness of you so that it may come to you.  Your deepest desires will not come to the small you.  They are out of range for that part of you.  It is by stepping into your fullness that you then are big enough to hold those grand experiences.  The small you can only hold the past experiences.  In order to grow you must make room.  When you grow, you do make room.  So think of it that way.  You are growing as a person to make room for the larger experiences of life.

Imagine someone who has a dream of going hot air ballooning but never believing it is possible.  Then imagine someone who imagines that and believes that it is possible and it will happen.  They know that in order for that to happen they must be someone who lives like someone who goes hot air ballooning.  They must live like someone who lives an exciting life and has the funds to do so and knows people who would like to do such things.  They must expand who they are to embrace hot air ballooning in their experience.  It is like they must expand their field so that hot air ballooning can fit in.  This is the way of it.  Expand and be the full potential of all your desires.  If you are choosing a romantic relationship, then expand your life to include that.  Expand the energy of your home to make space for someone.  Expand the energy of who you are so they can feel you.  In this way they can find you.  Expand out and out, shining your light, magnetizing them to you.  This is what we mean by living fully.  This is what we mean by being all that you are.  See yourselves as huge balls of energy and all those things that you desire are living within those balls of energy.  This is beautiful Dear Ones.  See it now as you read these words and then read them again and again so that it becomes a part of who you are.  Expand and expand and inside that ball of you energy is everything that you ever dreamed of.  Sit and meditate on this now Beloveds and know that you are magnificent and we are here at your side, witness to the brilliance of you.  It is our delight to come before you and to see your Light and to be your brethren in this grand evolution back to the Light.  And so it is.

HENRIETTA

When I introduced my friend to you a few days ago, she felt you were preparing for a shift.  Can you tell me what that is about?

Indeed Rashana.  I would be happy to speak of that.  You see, the world is preparing for a change.  You are on the cusp, on this date of 8 November 2012, of a great change upon the earth.  There is a solar eclipse that is about to happen that is going to open the field in a new way.  It will allow humans access to aspects of the field that have shut down for them for eons of time.  This will be a great new awakening for humanity.  Those who are sensitive will feel it immediately.  They will be aware that they have access to a deeper knowing and they will have more experiences from their internal vision, the third eye.  Those who are less in tune with the changes of these times and who have not been fine tuning their intuitive skills, may not have a conscious awareness of what has changed, although they will still notice things that are new to them.  They may see more things in their peripheral vision or realize that they simply know things that they did not know before.  Their understanding of All That Is will change.  For those who are more aware you, at the time of this reading, will already be feeling and noticing the changes within yourself. 

Now this access to the field changes will not only affect humans.  All species will have an awakening, so to speak.  The change will lead to more awareness in all creatures of the earth.  Now, the ants that live in a large colony in the northern forest may not dramatically change their way of being, but the wolf in the high country may approach life from a different perspective.  It will be aware of its prey in a different sense.  It will have a ‘higher’ perspective, beyond the physical senses that have allowed it to be so successful in its pursuit of prey.  There will be an understanding of which animal may be prepared to offer itself as sacrifice, as opposed to taking the youngest or weakest.  There will be a deeper level of communication that will have a unity resonance.  It will be a level of existence that is more harmonious for both species, the prey and the hunted.  This is just one example of how this change will be impacting the earth.  The greatest impact will be for humans to have that same awareness of the needs of the other and the lack of need for competition.  It will be the beginning of a life of unity consciousness.  That is living in harmony with the entire species of human as opposed to fighting your way to the top.  There will be no need to be at the top when all are living in cooperation, with care and concern for your brethren as much as yourself.  If everyone around cares about you and wants only the best for you, then you are free to offer the same to others because there is no fear of survival.  In such a society there is no concern for your own needs being met because all the members of your tribe are looking out for you.  Then you are free to do the same.  In such a society, you are recognized for your skills and what you offer as a unique individual.  Then, what you love will be awakened within you and you will live in joy and harmony.  This is what this shift is about.  It is a great awakening on planet earth.  It is a gift from the stars you could say, for the planetary alignments allow this great shift to happen.

Celebrate, for this great shift is upon you now.  Know that as you see this awakening on your planet, that it is Divine planning and not simply a mishappen shift of luck.  It is the shift that many have talked about for eons of time.  Embrace it and play with it.  Know thyself.  Notice how your life is changing.  Notice how your intuitive skills are expanding and use them so that they will grow more and more.  Rashana is not the only one who can talk to trees.  Try it yourself.  Just open your heart to hear what is there.  You will not hear it like someone speaking into your ear.  You will hear it like a thought.  Expand your awareness into this great time that you are in.  this is the shift that your friend was sensing when she touched by trunk, for I am anticipating this shift for all of the earth.  It is the beginning of the new age as some call it and it is just in time.

More Tree Talk

As noted in my last post, I have been connecting with a tree near my home.  One day, while walking on a new trail, I noticed a beautiful fir tree - the kind with the long weeping fronds.  It immediately introduced itself as George (en francais).  It's personality was very different than Henrietta - very soft for a tree identifying as masculine.  He told me that he represents the new masculine on this earth - the masculine that is balanced in the feminine.   Here is one of his messages:
