Message from the other side -- Buddy

September 29, 2006.

My name was Bud Dillenger, but you can still call me Buddy. My physical body stopped two days ago and I became back to a full connection. The first thing I would like to do is thank my beautiful wife Pat, for everything she did for me to make me comfortable for my transformation back into full consciousness and for dealing with me throughout my life since I did not pick a real easy personality to be around for. For this I will forever be grateful and love her from the deepest and the most purposeful part of my heart. I tried to convey this to her during the last few days I was still in dimensional form.

Everything you have heard or read about concerning the one's leaving of the physical is pretty much true. One thing they have never explained is that you never really left this place; just your physical consciousness separates and experiences living in a condition with very little understanding of how the entire scope of creation is manifested. It isn't like you have left one place and went to another, because once you get out of space and time this process does not exist.

I understand that comprehending some of what I'm going to tell you won't fit the parameters of your points of reference. I'm being asked what it is like on the other side and what it was like transferring back into my original state. I will get this out of the way first. What I'm telling you it isn't something the average physical being can understand, because most people in any dimensional form still have a time and space factor to deal with. The closest explanation of crossing over that I can give to you is that is it like waking up from a dream. You realize you're back in what you thought was a real physical body, so by being in a physical condition you are basically cutting yourself off from your full original path. When you hear people do not want to go back into their physical body it is because you do not have the feelings and emotions that are so intense. I don't want to say uncomfortable because that's not quite what it is. It is more the fact you always have to be aware of every move you make just to keep a balance with others and with your physical body because it constantly needs some kind of attention. I can see now how when we have this physical experience how overwhelming it is just to keep it alive and in the acceptance condition that everyone else will allow you to be. Like I told Jerry in the tub there is no words and no points of reference to explain what it is in completion once you have eliminated your physical structure. All I can say is it is a hell of a ride taking on anything in physical and a third dimensional condition (full separation). There's nothing more difficult or a harder ride than this experience there are more obstacles introduced in this condition than any other way of experiencing life form. Many people have come through from this side over the years and attempted to explain the difference, not much is usually said because if no one could understand what would be the purpose. There is a group of you which is growing daily and that is opening up to other forms of consciousness. This is what this information is for because they will have to guide the others into a new physical life form that won't fit any pre-conditions experienced. A third dimensional life experience with all the emotions is a very lonely and disorientated condition to be in. Most the time you're just alone with your thoughts which mainly are just full of a lot of BS which has an accumulated thought processes that have no creative ability, because you have been introduced to a fear process that even dirties the water that much more. What I'm trying to get across is you have created a condition of ignorance and insanity that cannot be surpassed by anything. Now for the good part, this condition basically forces you to mentally learn to find a path out of this maze of misunderstoods. Yes, I have and am visiting with Gene Davis I never stopped visiting with him I just didn't realize when I was behind the temporary veil and could not see what I can see now. That analogy that gene gave you a while back with the hood of your car coming up in front of you and stopping your vision of the road was one of the better explanations for you to understand. What it is like without a full view of where you're going is for learning to trust and should be your priority. Think about this! If you're hood came up on your car while you were driving the first thing you would do is slam on the brakes and try to hold it straight and steady until you got stopped. This is basically what life is, trying to hold everything straight and steady until you get through it.

When in truth all you have to do is trust and just keep driving. I can feel that for sure most of you don't like that feeling and I don't blame you, as the analogy of that concept is tremendous. I know you expected me to go on and on about crossing over and seeing everybody over here and explaining what I'm doing, but I think the most important thing now is to get information that is the most creative to you not my social life. Like I said earlier there are no words or points of reference to explain what it is like when you return to your true self so I really cannot say much about it. One thing I will say is there is a lot of interaction with each other over here that is not necessary while you're working through your physical experience. The first thing I realize is how much time we all spent in physical form, including myself being concerned of everyone else's mental state and physical condition. There are many teachers that are explaining constantly to all of you how to abandon this part of your life because it is not necessary and has no growth pattern involved. I see my friends lord Michael, Hubbard, Davis, and others interacting with all of you just keeping you afloat until you get through it all. Yes, you have picked this condition and I understand like Gene said in his book, you can drive to Portland on the highway or in the ditch it is up to you, you're still going to Portland. This is one of the reasons I have decided to interact at this time is to share with you how much more simple life would be if you stay out of the ditch. All life is, is a series of events for you to experience once you allow them just to be events and not taken personal and allow the ego to have control and learn just to observe everything. I mean everything will change to a much more enjoyable experience. Just because you're in a low density, doesn't mean you have to be miserable. All the word miserable means is "does not understand the process." The biggest change I've made by crossing over is I am allowing instead of trying to control my surroundings and when you see the view I have now you will understand by trying to control anything is absolutely insane. Creations flow of conditions are going to happen. It doesn't matter what you do or don't do, these conditions will continue, so why not just sit back and observe instead of trying to make it go the way you think it should. Like Gene Davis said one time if you can slow down the rotation of the earth by pushing against a rock you could probably accomplish some of these feats that you're trying to change.

One experience I would like to share with you during my process of crossing over is that I went through a period of re-examining many lifetimes. Apparently this is to reacquaint me with which time slot I had been experiencing. It's kind of interesting comparing the different methods between here and there. There is no place here to go for information, except within yourself. Here, even though you still have your experience of being a single entity, there is no separatism. I think that's the feeling I like the most. All understanding of creation comes back to your knowing. There was a little time in transferring over where I thought I was just hallucinating because of the tremendous shift from a physical awareness to full awareness. I am going to tell you one thing. What you have coming up in your lives is very interesting. It also will be interesting how you handle it all.

Working in the group "we" consciousness is the key to transforming into an elevated state that will allow you your mental freedom. You have very little mental freedom at this point because you've been programmed out of your original state into a physical belief system, which really means nothing. Absolutely Nothing. This is why most of you stay in the same mental and physical condition, until you get to crossover for a break. Actually quite a bit has transpired into this new world you are about to experience. I would suggest you pay close attention to your informative guidance system so that you can interact with this new world without a lot of confusion and disarray. Yes, I would like to tell you what is going on but I can't even if I wanted to because you would lose the progress you going to make going through it. Remember no free rides everything you have must be earned and another word for earned is experienced. That is the whole reason you have taken on the physical condition that you're experiencing. I was just asked if it was a relief to get back into my original state. The answer to this is I never left. I just dropped off the piece that I was using for physical experience. There are many other pieces we are using at the same time for other experiences, which would be absolutely ludicrous to try and explain what they are. The best way I can explain this place over here is you really are your own God and you have full control over everything you're doing for experience. Also I have to laugh, everything that's in discomfort in your physical body is just a bunch of thought patterns that haven't been allowed to form a full conscious creative process and when this backs up into energetic matter it throws off all forward motion so the body reacts by rejecting that feeling. The rejection results in an imbalanced feeling which you have labeled as pain and then someone along the line somebody decided pain was uncomfortable and at this point convinced everybody into the same relief pattern. Then I suppose they invented a pain pill to relieve this belief, which they were able to make money on. When you see everything from over here it seems pretty foolish, but I do understand with the limited view that you have of creation which you are doing is just about what you would do if you had no understanding of the real process of universal consciousness. It is quite pleasant to drop off that part of me that was in a low vibrational frequency and not have to deal with a condition that has no purpose.

I spent the last part of my life in remission so that I could reevaluate many of my experiences prior to the one I just transferred from. Many of you did not understand my life as a hermit, but I needed this time to balance and digest many different lifetimes that I have lived or am going to live. This gave me the opportunity to do just that because most situations in the physical body demand more attention. It is virtually impossible to process when you try to make everybody else happy. This is why at times I seemed so abrupt and non-caring but my job needed to be done alone. I think you all understand what I mean.

I'm going to proceed in helping with the process of change that you and your third dimensional planet are in the process of reconvening into full purpose. This means having full understanding of why you have created a situation and lifestyle in physical form. I see now how necessary it is to go through this experience, at one point of my evolution. It looked like a lot of wasted time, but when you get out of time it's nothing to be wasted, just experienced. I watch many of you always in a hurry because you are going to be late for something and don't even know what it is. There are a few of you that I would like to keep in close contact with while you go through the new transformation. I can do this the easiest through dream state. The dream state a connection between the physical and spiritual, in most cases, sending symbolic message to you to help guide you. It is not necessary to learn how to translate dreams. It is coming to you the best way that you can assimilate it.

About the best way I can explain the human condition is that it is constantly floating around, experiencing many different aspects all the time. Some of you have picked a more expanded and complicated way of experiencing this than others. This is why there's so much going on with your life at this time. You can feel the change coming and you want to be prepared for it. Believe me, what you are in the process of going through is the biggest transformation that the human physical force fielded has ever had to experience. This is one thing I can share with you from this side. It is one of the reasons I exited at the time; to help provide conscious references for you to follow.

The best way I know to explain preparing yourself for this big event is learning how the law of allowance interacts with your life. You have been told over and over to monitor all your thoughts and words so that you're not in the process of destroying everything that doesn't fit into different combinations of life that you think are right and wrong. This is very good advice. There is also another method; that is, feel from your heart every time you make a decision on any other individual's life. Allow them to be who they are not who you are. This takes a tremendous energetic weight off of you feeling accountable. I know because I did plenty of this while in physical state. It did a lot of damage to the cellular structure of my body.

This is very obvious from where I see it now. I know what I'm telling you. It's interesting information, but now I see that it is virtually unavailable for you to process the same. So, I can only do my best to get this point across. I'm going to stop this transmission for now but I would like to keep in touch. This has been very enjoyable. I'm sure this message will get to my friends, at least the ones it's supposed to. I really do love all of you and as soon as you learn the process of reconvening, I will see you again in person.

Universe Song

Here's a funny galactic song to get you smiling:
(make sure your speakers are on)

http://dingo.care-mail.com/cards/flash/5409/galaxy.swf

Claim your own fulfilment -- Merlin

"Will wringing your hands, will your aching heart and your
harsh thoughts against the seeming perpetrators, will your tears for
another's pain change anything?

The answer is yes and no. It will not change the pain for others,
but it will change the manner in which you live.
It will impede your fulfillment.

But when you are living within the fullness of who you are,
when you are daring to claim your own fulfilment
even when others seemingly cannot, when you go forth to
fulfill your own purpose, even when such a purpose might appear to be
personal and not universal, you are then affecting the whole! You are
changing everything! You have heard these words many times, that is
why you are here!

Perhaps you will think upon those words for a while . . .
and maybe you will experience the letting go of the final thread
of your attachment to suffering. Oh, I suppose I should say (for your
benefit, because I do love you) that this doesn't mean that you don't
care. It doesn't mean that you don't want the suffering to stop. It
does mean that you are doing what you can do, not feeding energy into
the suffering and then claiming freedom. The freedom is yours to have."

The End Times Revisited -- Kryon

Dear Hindu, what is it your doctrine says you should do right now? What is it that you have been taught, that you are feeling, that is so true in you? Those who are the Hindu masters of the earth, what is it that your elders have taught you is appropriate right now? What should you do about this energy? Can you feel something happening? Are you working on it? Have you been told that you're a part of the earth energy in any way? Hindu, let me ask you this: Who are you this time around and why are you here? What is it that the accumulation of lifetimes has brought you that can help the earth right now?

Buddhist, what have you been taught that you might do? Are you truly part of everything? Is there really a oneness that involves all that is? If so, that puts you in the middle of the challenge, does it not? Through the energy that you generate, can you not see how you might affect the others? So sit and generate that energy, for you are powerful, my friend. You are a peaceful person in the middle of the storm, and your vibration is important on this planet.

Jew, what have you been told that you can do about this? You are in survival mode, as you always have been. You shudder in fear, but not all of you are in Israel. What can you do? Do you believe in prayer? Of all the stories of the ages, yours are known the best. You've seen the miracles of God. Remember how you escaped Egypt? Those things actually took place. You were fed from heaven. Those things took place. Isn't such a thing a miracle? Could it happen again, but this time in a way that delivers the entire planet? What does your faith say about it? Is there a limit? Jew, did you know that your lineage was set up in this fashion so that someday these puzzles could be solved? You are part of the solution, not the problem. You are the core karmic race, the civilization that can make the difference and can help be the catalyst to peace on Earth. With that knowledge, do you shudder in fear? "There is no solution. There never was. It's going to last forever. The problems are unsolvable." Is that you? Which one are you going to be, Jew? Look back on the words of your master profit, Elijah. Look at what a Human Being is capable of. Look at the wisdom of your lineage, and keep your eyes on Jerusalem. Temper your anger, for it is not commensurate with your magnificence, yet it is your major issue.

Christian, what are you going to do? What have you been taught? How about the light of the master, Christ? What did He say? Have you been taught that you could change things with prayer? Was there something about "moving a mountain?" The answer is, yes. Is it not so that part of everything you've learned is to start with prayer, end with prayer, go home and pray before you eat, pray before you sleep? What is that all about? I will tell you. That is communication with God. It is strong, and you are up to it. Join the Hindu and the Buddhist and the Jew and send that light to those places that need it. Now is the time. You're part of the issue - a profound part, a beautiful part. Your light is so great.

Muslim, you love the Prophet, don't you? All right, let me take you back to the cave. I'm going to give you something to think about. You pray as much as anyone on the earth and you do it on a schedule that is regular. You believe in prayer! So why not start these prayers differently. You will not violate anything that you've been taught, for you're going to be praying for peace on Earth. In the cave, the prophet Mohammed met with the angel, and I want you to remember what has been written and what the angel said to him, "Go out and unite the tribes of Arabia and give them the God of Israel." And that's the truth. Look at where the prayer rugs faced, for they faced Jerusalem before they were changed to Mecca for political reasons. Look at this. Look at the core information and the beauty of the unity that the prophet asked you to have. . . not just with Arabs. What can you do? You can pray! Powerful, you are. A billion strong, you are. Part of the solution, you are.

Speak Your Truth -- Zoosh

from the SEDONA Journal of EMERGENCE ~ September 2006 Issue
www.sedonajournal.com


All right, Zoosh speaking. Greetings. The process of connecting to the
benevolent future that allows people to achieve their natural
personalities in the most benevolent and comfortable way, and to
express those personalities in comfortable ways-in short, to be your
whole and complete self, with all of your talents and abilities
completely available for you to use and completely known by other
people so that they can call upon you for what you do well-has been
completed. This creates a bridge that makes it available for you to
learn, to accumulate, to express and to have the opportunity to
interact with others to bring those qualities in yourself to the
surface so that people can learn who you are-not just on the basis of
the communication that you've learned in your culture and in your life
conditioning, but on the immediate basis of the interactions you have
with people on a day-to-day basis.

I want to tell you a little bit about this process that has been
completed. The process has installed a pathway to allow people to make
their shifts into a more complete version of themselves. What will
take place (and is actually in process now) is a constant feeling
within many people that doing things in the old way, even if it was
efficient, is not sufficient [chuckles]-meaning that truth for the
individual will be required, regardless of how awkward it may be to
put it forth.

For example, there are people right now living all over the world who
are frustrated on a daily basis because they are unable to speak their
own truth because of circumstances, conditioning, cultures and
what-have-you. Some of these people simply don't know how to put their
feelings into words. Other people have the words, but they do not feel
a welcoming for those words.



HOMEWORK: RELIEVE THE TENSION

I'd like to give you all some homework-you know how I like to do that.
It's not that difficult. But it will not work to think about it; it
will only work to do it. I'm going to suggest that you find someplace
where you can be alone and where you can say out loud what you need to
say, even though the people you need to say it to may not be able to
hear it. It will relieve the tension that is within your body, so the
frustration will not build up to the point where you do something rash
or drastic that might be self-destructive. And you know, my
interpretation of "self-destructive" means harming yourself or harming
somebody else-intentionally or otherwise, I might add.

So I'm going to suggest that you find a place where you can be alone.
Just speak out loud if you possibly can. If there are other people
nearby or who may come nearby, then whisper, but it must be a sound.
It won't work to think it. You actually have to make a sound. Speak in
your own words all of the things you are upset about and also
everything that you feel you must say. This will be an actual feeling
that you must say to other people. Continue to speak this way, even if
you find yourself thinking out loud while you speak. This will
help to relieve the tension.



IT MAY BE UP TO YOU TO SET A GOOD EXAMPLE

Now, why is this a good thing? You see, people who are not like
yourself . . . here you are, reading this material, thinking, working
on yourself, expanding, growing, while the rest of the population is
getting on with their lives as best they can, but they may not have
this kind of material, guidance, advice and wisdom available to them.
So they're still having these feelings.

It may be up to you to set a good example. You might have friends
whose frustration you can feel, or you might hear about their
frustration because they can't say this or that to somebody else and
they feel an urgent need to say it. You may feel their frustration
building up to the point where you're afraid they're going to do
something that might harm themselves or harm others.

See, this is why it's important for you to do it-not only to release
the tension for yourself, but also to discover its value. So after
you've done this homework, then you say, "You know, I tried this
thing," and then tell your friend about speaking out loud and saying
everything to everybody as if they were there. I grant that this isn't
going to solve all the world's troubles overnight, but the whole point
is to give you a means and also a way to practice saying things to
people whom you feel an urgency to say them to but because of
circumstances, whatever they may be, you cannot say those things at
that time. It will also, as I said, give you an opportunity to
practice saying those things. There will be times when you will come
across with words or you will feel these words coming out-being
inspired, you know-and discover ways that you might actually be able
to say these things to those people, or at least to say them in part.



YOU MUST REVEAL YOUR PERSONALITY

You'd be surprised how many people all over the planet are controlling
themselves and not speaking. Sometimes it has to do with being polite,
and although being polite is often a good thing, it isn't always a
good thing. Because sometimes in the course of being polite, one does
not speak one's urgent truth.

People are different. You are all different, and this is intended.
Granted, some of you are different in similar fashions, but you are
all unique, and it is absolutely essential that you reveal your
uniqueness. You must reveal your personality. In short, sometimes
things about you that you may think are problems or challenges to
integrate with the rest of the world, to get along in your society and
your culture . . . you think that these things are problems and
challenges, but in fact, they are like veils that hide talents.

Do you know that almost all of you, especially those of you who are a
little younger, have the belief that something that you can do, that
comes easy to you, comes easily to everybody else? But you know, in
reality, you all have things that come easy to you that are very
difficult for other people, just like things that are difficult for
you are easy for somebody else. Does this mean you're stupid? Of
course not. It means that everybody is supposed to have certain gifts
and abilities, and that when you help each other freely and
comfortably, then you can all do it together and accomplish it with
some great ease-whatever it may be. And sometimes you simply have
to reveal to people who you are.

Granted, you're going to feel like you're having a tantrum, and I
don't want you to feel that way. So the value of speaking this truth
for yourself is that it will just release a lot of pent-up feelings,
all right? That's what I recommend to get you over this bridge. I am
passing it on because I feel that most people do not realize that the
imminence of what is coming on here is something that is going to
require people to do something that some of you in the United States
who are a little older are actually pretty capable of doing.



PLAIN SPEAKING IS A TALENT TO BE SHARED

Those of you who were born in the thirties, forties and early fifties
in the United States are pretty comfortable speaking your truth. If
something comes up, then it's like, you say it and then it's out
there. But do you know that all over the world this is quite a rare
situation? It doesn't mean that people can't put the words together;
it means that in many cultures they are not expected, allowed or in
any way encouraged to speak the truth. This is very awkward and has
created a lot of misunderstandings, as you can well imagine. One of
the reasons we would encourage any and all of you to come around to
Hawaii more is that there you're still in the United States, but it
gives you an opportunity to be exposed to Asian cultures, where that
situation very often prevails.

In Asian cultures very often-especially in, say, Japanese cultures-the
idea of speaking the truth is not acceptable. It is much more
important to be polite. Now, granted, one finds this more so in the
country itself, but one still finds it in the culture of people who
have been living here for generations but are Japanese American. So
the more that those of you "of a certain age" are exposed to that,
you're going to discover for yourselves that you've got a talent that
you completely take for granted.

You were raised in a time and in a place where plain speaking was not
only necessary but actually popular. You can recall perhaps the famous
president, Harry Truman, who really became famous toward the latter
part of his life, less because he was president of the United States
and more because he believed in plain speaking. By that time, people
had gotten to the place in the United States where they didn't speak
plainly anymore. This happened in the fifties when the advertising age
began.

But you see, those of you in this age group now find yourselves with a
talent not unlike the former president. You were born and cultured and
encouraged and nurtured-physically, you understand-to speak plainly so
that what needs to be said is out there. Therefore, your personality
is relatively exposed to people. People can discover not only what
you have to say about something, even though it may be your opinion
only, but your abilities and your talents, because you do not hide them.

A Year of Magnification: What to Expect in 2007 -- The Council of 12

In the year 2007, humanity will be in one of the most crucial cycles of its history. It is to be a year of magnification, with light shining on disparities and outmoded ways of being. The growing gap between the rich and poor will become more obvious. Unstable climatic conditions will impact more places in the world, while attracting increasing amounts of attention from concerned citizens of diverse political backgrounds. The current playing out of opposites will gain even more momentum, with the duality of love and hate being expressed on personal and global levels. It’s not really a battle, yet it can seem like one at times. Similarly, people on a path of conscious awakening will find that they have less and less in common with the average unaware person in their world.

What does this mean for people traveling a conscious spiritual path? In the recent months, the temperature on one’s path of light has been turned up several notches. That’s the effect of magnification. Healers and other lightworkers throughout the world are facing some of their biggest changes, challenges and opportunities at this pivotal juncture. Life issues not yet addressed are coming into inescapable view. There is a need to clear up unresolved concerns. In tandem with this, people are feeling a kind of pressure from within to do, be or become something they have not yet manifested in the world. Relationships are being re-evaluated. If someone is in an old-paradigm type of relationship—involving control or domination or fear—imbalances must be addressed or substantial amounts of negative life-depleting energy force are generated. People are seeing more clearly the need to change how they communicate and relate to one another, to themselves, to their world, and to the Divine.

Oftentimes, the more highly evolved a person is, the more that they may be feeling the heat of the current transformational shifting. There is a heightened sensitivity and knowingness of the truth that comes from being more aware. That commonly means intensified feelings and processing of energies.

You can think of it like this. In this lifetime, you are in the midst of taking a profound journey you have long prepared to take. Others are also taking the journey, yet how they experience it will depend upon their own level of consciousness. Some won’t even realize they are taking a journey at all. They may see life as a series of events that seem to happen to them. They may not feel the pain of humanity, for they cannot comprehend it. They are caught up in their own personal dramas, achievements and needs. Their focus is on “me” and not “we.” They see separation instead of unity.

Imagine a fleet of sailing vessels headed out to sea. Each has a different captain at the helm, yet all of the captains are “Divinely encoded” to know the ultimate destination. The other captains are your human comrades. The objective of each captain is to travel across uncertain ocean waters and reach a new world that offers a higher vibrational way of life. Each captain really knows the way “home,” yet the journey itself is individual. In these accelerated times, especially, there is no map in the traditional sense. What’s required is being able to access a kind of inner compass, provided by an ongoing tangible connection to spirit. That inner knowing will guide you and help facilitate Divine timings for your journey. For some of your comrades, the journey will take longer. Frequently, a major diversion will take the captain off course. A beautiful island may be sighted, for example. Stopping there can be enjoyable and restful. However, if the captain is not mindful and forgets the big picture purpose of the journey, the island rest could turn into stagnation.

The energy of stagnation can continue, depending upon the person and circumstance, for varying amounts of time. Not realizing it, a person can fool themselves into thinking they are making progress when they are only repeating the motions of long-established habitual patterns. New relationships may come, but with familiar themes, for example.

To be sure, if you recently have felt unable to move forward in some area of life, 2007 will carry a fiery energy to heat things up. What does that mean? For one thing, it means acceleration of whatever circumstances you are in. For example, say you’re in an unhealthy relationship. The fiery energy of these times may be a catalyst that brings more to the surface discontent that was already there. This includes issues that haven’t been looked at or fully resolved.

Even if you’re in a relationship that’s normally pretty stable, your own personal life challenges may stress you to the point that you lose patience or respond harshly to the person you care so much about.

Another example is work and right livelihood. The fiery energy could play out in several ways. First, you could have discontent with what you have, or with what you do. Second, you could attract new opportunities. This could be anything from a new job, new realizations about your current work, or subtle shifts in your work environment that help you to see patterns that you didn’t see before. Third, there could be emotional outbursts, either quietly within yourself or expressed outwardly, when the fire seems too much to handle. Fourth, the fiery energy could be working very quietly behind the scenes in ways you can’t see. One possible result is that people and situations that didn’t appear open to you before are having their own transformational shifting, meaning that you are more likely to attract what you desire. Remember the importance of Divine timing. Often the other pieces aren’t yet in place because the person who might hire you or the situation that might benefit you has not ripened from its own process. Your positive manifesting takes into account other people and situations that have their own timetables and energetic influences, separate from you. It’s like an orchestra where everyone needs to be in tune for the sound to be harmonious.

In general, humanity and the Earth will continue to be impacted by massive amounts of energetic shifting in the coming year. It will affect people on many levels, including in ways that cannot be sensed or seen. The DNA of humans is changing, humanity’s consciousness is expanding, and the world is being re-defined and re-shaped.

Each person has a role in helping to birth a new kind of world. It is not enough to sit on the sidelines and observe, noticing the problems and complaining about what’s not working. To facilitate true change requires ongoing conscious choices and actions.

What are some things you can do that will make a difference?

First, remember to take care of your body. It’s normal to be stressed when you experience magnification of feelings, concerns and uncertainties. Allow for your body’s fluctuating needs. Avoid working extra hours on days when your body signals you are already maxed out and depleted. Learn to read your body’s signals before the burn-out takes place. To maintain clarity and energy for your work, it will be important to find ways to de-stress and de-toxify. Know that sometimes the sheer magnitude of energetic changes can destabilize you to the point where there can be a physical illness. If this happens, it’s typically the part of the body most vulnerable or weakened from the ongoing stress. Some of the physical problems people are experiencing now might not have materialized in other less chaotic times. However, as you know, this is a very pivotal lifetime for everyone on the planet. Anytime something this new is created, there is bound to be chaos.

Second, find ongoing ways to connect with energies of positivity and light, helping you to offset the negativity of the world. As part of that, create opportunities to experience spiritual community in your life. This can be a meditation group or any place where you can gather with others who share a desire for higher consciousness.

Third, learn how to integrate your spiritual self into your everyday life. You can do this regardless of what you “do” for a living. It’s all about your view and how you focus your energies. The unified self is the powerful self. This part of you is natural and flows in Divine perfection. People enjoy being around you. Your light and awareness are contagious.

Fourth, give your inquiring mind permission to ask questions. Begin to challenge the purpose and value of things you previously did not question. Examples include messages presented by the media. Just because a car chase is covered during Prime Time on all major TV networks, does that make it “news” worthy of watching during dinner, or at all? Another example is health care. Let’s say your doctor gives you a diagnosis and prescription for the “only drug that can control your incurable condition.” Does that mean you must accept the incurable disease label and take the drug, even if the side effects are worse than the condition itself? In situations such as these, remember that you have the right to challenge information. It is your birthright to question, and to inquire about what is in your highest good.

As you continue the journey of rediscovering your Divine nature, we surround you with our love and blessings. We are The Council of 12.

The Story of You

There once was a being who saw the cause and effect upon
the beautiful, glorious planet called Earth. And that being
also saw the distortion that flowed about such planet and
about the beauteous beings who resided upon Earth. That
being did then journey to what is called the akashic records
and did seek to understand the reasons for the distortion, the
harshness and the grave difficulties within the lives of those
who resided upon Earth. It was within such akashic records
that there was discovered a great truth. The truth was that
the distortion was illusion, and such illusion was held
together by one thin thread. The thread was sleep, the
unconscious waiting to awaken to what is.

The being did then journey to the time stream and examine
such flowing within the cause and effect. There came within
the time stream such a moment when upon the planet called
Earth and within the beings who resided upon Earth, a great
light did fill the entire time stream. The being looked closer to
discover what was causing such great light, and the being saw
the dissolving of illusion as awakening humanity burst forth.

It was then that the being determined to birth and reside
within such a time, within such an occurrence-for several
reasons. The primary reason was and continues to be the great
gift of experiencing the grand awakening whilst incarnate.
The secondary reason was and continues to be the determined
purpose to participate within such a birthing of consciousness
that it be as full and complete as it can possibly be-that
within such birthing there then would be the opening and
seating of the portal to paradise, that there would be Earth in
its true form and reality, and that the beings who resided upon
such great real beauty would be freed from the residue of the
illusion from which they birthed. And so the being birthed
into physicality, a great lightbeing birthing for the sheer pleasure
of participating within the grand awakening.


Dear beloved being, that being is you. Blessed be you,
you, you who are reading these words right in this moment.
This is your story.

The Cusp of Change -- The Masters

And so it is that we greet you on the cusp of changes!

Your world has entered into a most amazing paradox. That which is the crux of change and that change becomes alive as if it were a living entity. It is palpable in your world. Can you feel it within you? That feeling that things are somewhat out of balance yet you cannot put your finger on why?

This is because the why is infinite and does not only apply to your third dimensional being but instead, to the entirety of your being. You must not think that all that you are is made of minerals and water. You are comprised of a myriad of infinite energetic relationships which communicate to and from you in every given moment.

Those parts of you which are communicating inwardly from within all that is are telling the infinite you that your world is changing. That you are changing. That in spite of your efforts to the contrary, you are being rocked out of your comfortable discomfort. It is because that discomfort can no longer apply as the vibrations within you change and the vibrations universally are re-harmonizing to create an entirely new age, an entirely new kind of reality within your world and beyond.

For millennia the ancient ones upon your planet and elsewhere have spoken and written of times to come. Calendars end on such a moment when the world as you know it no longer exists. This does not mean a physical death to you or your planet. What it does mean is that your world is about to move through a great process of change.

That change begins with the alignment of the inter-dimensional Ceyelon Star Gate System. Each of these Star Gates are portals to different realities, places and times. As they align, what occurs is an alignment of all that has even been with all that is.

Everything that you have ever been or done, everything that has ever existed unto this now is aligning energetically and multi-dimensionally to be reckoned with. As this occurs, perhaps you find yourselves resisting those things that you resisted previously and with vehemence. Or, you are able to look at these issues from a point of one who has healed, blessing the experiences and moving forward into the new reality.

In many ways, it is as if there are overlaying dimensions and it does not seem to you that everyone is living the same realities. This is because it is so. Many are not living the same reality. You are witnessing the crossing over of other dimensions with the third dimension. Some of you are living from a higher state of consciousness. Some of you have adapted to having your consciousness within a higher plane and yet there you are still living in the third dimensional world. You have learned to straddle multiple realities, balancing them and participating as a conscious observer from your heart.

Others of you are looking around and wondering what happened. Where your friends have gone. Where others are who used to be there all of the time. Many of them follow their own calls, their own paths, which are not necessarily the same as yours. Others are choosing to leave, transitioning out of your world and back into the infinite. They have finished what they have come to do, or the call which resounds through all realities is heard by them and they choose to go home.

Whatever your place, whatever your choice, it is perfect in this now. It is part of that which has always been and will always be. This is a time for shaking out, reestablishing balances for completion of the effects of polarization. It is a process that will take several years, and yet will ultimately result in balance and perfection of the re-harmonization.

The re-harmonization that is taking place on universal levels is creating changes in your perceptiveness, in your bodies, in your lives. It is changing the very structure of reality as the vibrations rise and the particulates reorganize. As the particulates reorganize what you will notice is a great releasing of all things that do not serve.

As the re-harmonization continues you will find that nothing is quite as you have remembered it. Those things which are not important you may not remember at all. In such a way, everything may seem just a bit skewed from your remembering. That is because you will be witnessing your reality from not only a different vibration, but from different angulations of consciousness than you had before. Your awareness will be heightening as the Star Gates have opened the way. Part of your consciousness is being pulled to the infinite and there it will remain, bringing to you the possibilities of infinite reality as never before. Purity of manifestation. Streamlined communication. Telepathy will begin to become more and more apparent within you as human beings.

Many of the children who come to your world from this now forward will bring with them aspects of the infinite, denying limitations of spirit and bringing communications of other worlds, other world beings. Listen to them. They speak truth.

YOU AND YOUR HIGHER SELF ARE ONE

One last comment regarding another question: "Can what I planned
before incarnation be changed?" The answer is yes. In fact, it has
already occurred. Anyone born before 1985 who is still on the Earth
plane has already experienced changes in the original plan. This
change occurred and continues to occur on the soul level, the level of
your higher self. You in your human incarnation are not fully
conscious of these changes and what they mean. Where would be the fun
and surprise if you already knew what would happen?

You are certainly able to have discussions with your higher self.
Realize that your higher self is the director of your show, and you
are the star. You in your human experience do not have the wealth of
knowledge and wisdom that your higher self has in infinite abundance.
You do have access to knowledge and wisdom, but only on a finite
level. The amount of access, however, may appear infinite when you
access it. You can access it if you choose. Know that any difficulties
in accessing this wealth of information is simply part of your story,
your play.

Remember, you and your higher self are you. You and your higher self
are the components of the infinite God-self you are. The paradox is
that you are an infinite being playing at a game in which you forgot
you were infinite. As the vibrations of the planet have risen, the
vague memory of who you truly are pokes through as the thought: "There
must be something more!" You would not have this thought, you would
not be reading this message, if you were not to know this information.

Do you remember the myths of drinking from the river of forgetfulness?
You have forgotten from whence you came and who you truly are. You
are, my precious ones, infinite. You are, as many of you have heard
repeatedly, an infinite being having a finite human experience. The
difficulty comes when you do not realize to the depths of yourself
what this means. Relax, accept and trust. Then you can truly enjoy the
play. You also will be able to hear the gentle whisperings of your
higher self.



EXERCISES FOR CONNECTING WITH YOUR HIGHER SELF

Now for a few exercises to assist you in connecting with your higher
self. Begin with whichever exercise you feel drawn to.

1. Ask for the release of artificial encodements interfering with or
inhibiting your communication with your higher self. (If you are
familiar with encodement work, you may skip to the second exercise.)
For those unfamiliar with encodements, go into the back of your heart
center. Move deeply into this space until you come to your altar, your
sacred space. Breathe in and out of your heart center. When you are
ready, ask for the encodement technicians to come. They are there for
the asking, whether you feel them or not. Ask if there are any
artificial encodements interfering with or inhibiting your
communication with your higher self. If the answer is yes-and few of
you will hear no-ask what would be the consequences of removing the
artificial encodements. If those consequences are acceptable to you,
then ask that they be removed.

2. Ask if there are damaged or altered natural encodements interfering
with your relationship with your higher self. Ask that they be
repaired. For those new to the encodement process, use the same
process as above, substituting "natural encodements."

3. Ask if there are natural encodements preventing your communication
with your higher self. These natural encodements are not damaged or
altered. They were placed within because of the plan you established
before incarnating. If the answer is yes, ask if their purpose has
been fulfilled. If the purpose is complete, if you have received all
the learning you need to receive, ask if they may be removed. Enter
into your heart center from the front. Go deeply into that space.
While remaining there, enter your heart center from the back. Go to
your altar or sacred space. Allow your consciousness to move together
from the front and back of your heart center until you feel the
connection. If you cannot feel, see or sense this connection, simply
form an intention that it occur. Resting in this energy is a powerful
experience in itself. Remain here as long as you wish. When you are
ready, set your intention to form a clear connection with your higher
self. Allow whatever happens to happen. Know that even if you do not
feel, see, hear or sense anything, something is happening. Trust. Rest
in the energy of this connection.

4. Ask for the healing of your relationship with yourself. Once you
ask, be alert for healing opportunities. These could come through a
book, an individual, an advertisement, a dream or an inspiration. Trust.

5. Ask for the healing of your relationship with your higher self.
Again, be alert for opportunities of healing. Trust.

YOUR HIGHER SELF IS YOUR BRIDGE TO GOD

Those of you raised in the Christian tradition are familiar with the
phrase "thy will be done." Within that phrase is the concept of trust
and acceptance. Inherent in acceptance is trust in the One, the being
allowing and shaping the experiences coming to you. Also present is
the challenge of living life to the fullest as it presents itself to
you. The amazing reality about "thy will be done" is that it has
little to do with the nebulous concept of what many call God. "Thy
will be done" is all about you, your higher self.

Through your higher self, you are able to access that which you call
God. Through your higher self you are able to access the Oneness. If
you cannot access you being one with your higher self, you will not be
able to embrace the truth of Oneness, of the concept of God, the All,
All That Is. In a manner of speaking, your higher self is your bridge
to the overwhelming energy of what many call God. Your higher self is
the bridge between you and the powerful creative force of love.

My dearest ones, your inability to be in an attitude of acceptance is
related to your inability to trust yourself, your higher self. If you
cannot trust your higher self, yourself, then you cannot trust that
which you call God, All That Is, Universal Love, Allah. The
reluctance, the fear of trusting is held fast by the inability to
trust yourself, your higher self. When you allow yourself to trust
your higher self, when you move into true acceptance, to the truth of
"thy will be done," you will discover the depths of yourself. You will
discover the powerful creator that you are.



IF YOU CHOOSE ACCEPTANCE, YOU CHOOSE HEALING

Life on this Earth is filled with paradox. You grow to know yourself,
to enter into your power, only to realize that you have no power, and
then you enter into even greater power. The paradox is that you cannot
experience even a hint of your true power until you find what you
think is power and then realize you never had power. You learn to
love yourself and set boundaries only to discover that a true love
relationship involves the merging of boundaries and the releasing of
part of yourself.

The paradox is that you cannot release a part of yourself to another
before you love yourself and establish boundaries. You cannot truly
merge with another unless you first learn to be independent. Life is a
continual tension between being proactive and acceptance, moving
forward and deliberation.

Every experience you have has been planned by you. You planned a
series of choices. If you made choice A, then you went in one
direction, and if you took choice B, you went in another. Your very
first choice was whether or not to fully accept this incarnation, to
accept life. Those who fully accept life have experiences built upon
wonder. Those who do not have experiences fraught with hardship. Many
made this choice for or against life before they had the maturity to
know the consequences of their choice, no different than the teenager
who chooses not to finish high school.

The myriad of healing modalities in this wonderful world you had a
hand in creating can assist you in making new choices. Healing the
past can change your present and your future. You will keep the wisdom
with you. If you choose acceptance, "Thy will be done," you choose
healing. You will go in the direction that healing leads you. If you
choose resistance, you will go in the direction that leads you.

Every person will end their incarnation by going home. That will not
change. Everyone will make it home. Your choices now determine your
experience in this incarnation. What experience do you want?

If you have read this far into this message, your higher self is
speaking to you, giving you an opportunity to move more deeply into
the depths of consciousness. Take time to rest with the words I have
given you. Allow yourself to be held in the dynamic tension of
paradox. I, on behalf of your higher self, challenge you.

ACCEPTANCE IS THE KEY

The concept of acceptance has been taught in many traditions, by many
teachers and masters. Does acceptance mean that you must simply do
nothing? No. Although acceptance could be interpreted in that manner,
it is more complex.

Acceptance requires discernment. Each of you will have a strong desire
to do something. This doing may be entering a relationship, beginning
a business or taking a class. Many of you can relate experiences of
taking a new direction in your life simply by following the deep inner
urge to enroll in a workshop, attend a lecture or read a book. These
deep urges are messages from your higher self. You could also say that
the flier or book you saw activated encodements that propelled you in
a new direction in your life.

Many of you are familiar with what is called the Serenity Prayer:
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the
courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the
difference." Wisdom as it is used here is about discernment. Wisdom is
the discernment of when you act and when you accept things as they are
and send love to others or bask in the love that you are.

You gain wisdom by learning from your experiences. Learning in this
manner is a developmental process, just as learning to walk is a
developmental process. The difference is that development in this area
has extreme variations. Some people do not appear to learn from their
experiences; others learn very quickly. Realize that you are
experiencing exactly what you planned to experience, no matter what
the pace. This is where acceptance is the key.

Your life is a balance of being proactive and of waiting for what
comes to you. There are times when you will feel the urge to be
proactive. Follow that urge. If following the urge results in what you
would call disaster, then stop and wait. Listen. Feel. Experience.
Move internally. What about those who never learn this? Dear ones, you
are learning and experiencing. There is no "wrong" way to live this
life. There are ways to live and experience that are judged to be
healthier and happier. The truth is that there is no wrong way to live.

Does this mean you have license to do whatever you wish? Yes, of
course. Do whatever you wish and accept responsibility for the
consequences. If you wish to steal, then accept the responsibility of
the consequences, whether that be riches, fear or jail. You can choose
what to experience in this lifetime. Your experiences will be in
alignment with what you planned on experiencing.

Some will read these words and ask, "Why bother trying? Why bother
growing?" Developmentally, "Why bother?" is a question of adolescence.
Think back to your own adolescence or to an adolescent you have known
or currently know. How can you convince him to stay in high school
when he sees no value in high school? How can you explain that the
process of high school, whether it be traditional or alternative
education, is more than "book learning"? Think of experiences you had
or chose not to have and now regret. Your regret comes from what you
learned by doing or not doing, from the wisdom you developed as you
matured.

Why bother living life? Generally, the answer is for the excitement,
the wonder, the desire to see, feel, hear and experience what will
happen. What will be the ending of your movie? What will be the
climax? Will things change if you do encodement work, holographic
repatterning, Reiki, begin a new career when you are fifty? The only
way you can find the answers is to live the question and watch
expectantly. Those who have discovered the joy and excitement of
learning for the pure joy of learning will understand this concept.

Life... as seen from above - part 3

YOU ARE THE DIRECTOR!

Have you thought about who "directs" or "supervises" the movie or
blueprint (using both analogies) once you incarnate? The "who" is the
crux of the issue. Dear ones, the true you is the director, the
supervisor-not the actor in the movie. When you incarnate, you take on
a role that is different from your true essence. You put on a costume
and play the part you wanted to play. You wrote the movie. You worked
with others to cast the various parts, even the extras. You set the
scenery. Then you took on the role. There needs to be a director,
someone who has the whole script, who knows the theme in depth. That,
precious ones, is your higher self.

What is difficult to understand in this world of duality is that you
and your higher self are the same. Think of your favorite actor: Does
he or she quit being who he or she is when a particular part is played
in a movie? You are still who you were before you took on the part.
You are infinite. You are divine. You are a tremendous creator. Simply
look at your life-you created everything in it! You may be saying,
"This is not a good creation. This is a disaster!" Yes, that may be
your judgment. The truth is that your judgment is not correct. You, an
infinite being, created something in such detail that you believe you
created a disaster.

You did such a wonderful job of creating that you convinced this
aspect of yourself that you think is you that you and all that is
around you is real. You have heard many times that this life is not
real; it is illusion. You created such a wonderful illusion that you
cannot convince yourself it is not real. What power! How powerful you are!

Your higher self knows exactly what you (that's the "you" you think
you are, plus your higher self) wanted to create. Your higher self is
managing everything from the fullness of itself (just like God, there
really is no gender; there is simply love). Your higher self has
complete knowledge of what is happening "down here" (there really is
no "down here"). Your higher self watches you and manages all the
little details of your life.

Let me go into detail of how this might work. Let's say you in your
incarnated form have had such difficulty with your knees that you
chose to have a double knee replacement before you were forty-five
Earth years of age. You in your incarnated form might rage at this.
You might throw yourself a pity party and expect everyone to join you.
Your higher self is only assisting you in what it is that you decided
you wanted to do, learn, experience and even play. You, the fullness
of who you truly are, decided that you, your incarnated self, wanted
to play with the energies of having knee trouble, having surgery and
experiencing all the emotions, reactions and activities that would
bring. You, the fullness of yourself, gathered together the supporting
cast to assist you: surgeons, nurses, therapists, even the experiences
that set off the need for the surgery.

Your higher self is making sure that all you wanted to experience in
this lifetime will occur. Those who might be considered high-level
spiritual beings, which is a judgment, may decide to play with the
energies and experiences of getting trapped in a life of drugs and
alcohol. The incarnated experience, the role you take, does not negate
who you truly are.

Those reading this message in this magazine wanted to experience what
it was like to have access to different spiritual experiences than
most people in your country. These experiences have been labeled New
Age by some, occult by others and, by another group, the devil's
handiwork. Whatever you hear from others is still your creation. The
purpose is to cause you to respond in some manner. Whatever happens
can precipitate a chain of events that you planned.

Have you ever wondered why some people have powerful experiences with

certain modalities, be they encodements, Reiki, affirmations,
goal-setting, meditation, traditional Christianity and so on, and you
don't? The "why" is a decision you made in the fullness of yourself
before incarnation. Your "job," as it were, is simply to experience
life as it is. The job of your higher power is to implement the plan,
direct the movie. Some will experience results using one modality, and
others with using another modality. Some will not be attracted to what
is called New Age and others will be.

[read part 1]

THE ENCODEMENT TECHNICIANS SET THE FORMAT FOR YOUR LIFE

Once you decided what you wanted to happen in your incarnation, you
worked with the encodement technicians. The encodement technicians set
the format for your incarnation by placing within you the encodements
that would attract you to the experiences you desired. I'm going to
mix analogies in order to assist you in understanding what happens
as much as possible.

When you make the plans for your incarnation, you develop a blueprint
of what you want to happen. Think of this as the blueprint an
architect uses to guide the builders of a house. The encodement
technicians then come in and put in the "wiring" according to your
plans. The encodements attract you to people, places and things,
giving you options and opportunities. There are also encodements to
"hide" things from you. No one is able to experience everything in
life during an incarnation. The various encodements help you "build"
the life you planned before incarnating.

Switching to the analogy of a play, your encodements are activated
according to certain cues in your life. Just as an actor knows to come
on stage when a certain line is given, so do certain encodements
become active with particular events in your life. Developmental
encodements are "set" to become active at particular ages or as you
attain certain developmental milestones. An active encodement attracts
you to an experience in your life.

Unless you have an active encodement, there will be no attraction to a
particular person, place, lifestyle and so on. There are encodements
that can repel you from particular persons, places and so on. Some
encodements have to be very strong to "neutralize" your attraction to
certain people. This occurs when souls who have deep relationships on
the other side are playing a different role in incarnated life.


SOULS PLAY DIFFERENT ROLES WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE

Continuing the analogy of the play or movie, you and those in your
life take on certain roles. You have heard this many times, but few
people realize the depth of this truth. You are "playacting." You take
on a role that is not truly you, and you would win what you call an
Academy Award if it were possible for anyone to play their role to a
lesser extent than another. All of you are Academy Award-winning
actors or Tony Award winners (in the play analogy). Every person in
your life you have created to play the role they play. The person
agreed to play that role with you.

"How," you may ask, "could I have created someone to play a particular
role? If an individual plays one role with me, doesn't that person
play the same role with everyone else?" No, no one plays the same role
with each person. An individual may be a villain of a parent in a
first marriage and then a beloved saint of a parent in another
marriage. The one known as a thief to some may be a beloved friend to
others. Souls play different roles with different people.

That's why people can go to the same event and some believe the
presenter is wonderful and others abhor him or her. You play different
roles with each other, and these roles may or may not have anything to
do with who you are in the spiritual world. Know that. Believe that.
Accept that. It will make your life much easier.

To reiterate: People play roles. No matter what role, how wonderful or
horrible the role, you, before incarnation, set the experience up.
Don't take it personally. Yes, that is difficult once you have
incarnated and are not with the fullness of your being.

Life... as seen from Above - part 1

Dear ones, you have asked for further information about how your
higher self interacts with you in your incarnation. I understand why
some are concerned about this relationship. I also understand why the
dear one who called is concerned about being a puppet. The concerns
come from a lack of understanding about what your higher self truly is.

First and foremost, there is no separation between you and your higher
self. You are one. There is no separation between your toes and you.
You are one. The difficulty in understanding the relationship between
your higher self and yourself is that you think in duality. You have
difficulty comprehending what it means to be one with your higher
self. Even the language "one with higher self" implies that there are
two separate beings. There is only one being, and that one being is you.

Before incarnation you were in your fullness. You knew, experienced,
reveled in your fullness and the unity of your fullness with the
Oneness. You did not need anyone to explain it to you. You lived it
and you knew it. There was no question about duality or being
separate. In fact, being separate could be another name for what some
call hell.



EACH OF YOU PLANNED YOUR INCARNATION

I will speak now about how you planned your incarnations. Due to the
confines of language, I will need to use terms that imply that there
is "time" and there is "separateness." There is not. Even though I
tell you this, you will not truly understand what I am saying. You do
have the intellectual knowledge from your learning, but you do not
know this until you arrive at the very depths of yourself where there
is only the Oneness.

Before there was any concept of time, when you first became aware of
yourself as a part of the Oneness, just as a wave is identified as
part of the wholeness of the ocean, you wanted to have various
experiences. Others such as yourself began to join together to have
these experiences. You began to consult with one another. As you
consulted, you also began to specialize.

Some of you wanted to experience great public power, others wealth and
still others poverty. Some of you became mentors, healers and
warriors. It didn't really matter what you experienced. You presented
challenges to yourself. Groups of you gathered together to make the
challenges more complex. Now with 6.5 billion human souls on your
planet, the complexity is great.

Each of you began to develop an overall plan for your experiences.
Think of it as an outline to a book. You plan a book, what the theme
will be, what each chapter will contain and how the plot will develop.
Your life-and by "life" I mean the journey of your soul-can be likened
to a very large book. Each of your incarnations is a chapter. You did
meticulous planning for each chapter. Others joined you in the
planning and in the execution. You created what your life would be as
well as the roles others were to play in your incarnation. You still
are the creator of your life, but in a different way than you believe.

What is a Walk-in ?

Ruth Montgomery, in her 1979 best-selling book Strangers Among Us, indicated that walk-ins are beings who have attained sufficient awareness of life so they can forego the process of birth and childhood, incarnating directly into adult bodies. Though she did not consider herself to be a walk-in, she was the first person in contemporary times to write about this phenomenon. In her subsequent book Threshold to Tomorrow, she named sixteen walk-ins, and described their walk-in experiences.

Among these was Carol Parrish. In her autobiographical book Messengers of Hope, Carol wrote that walk-ins are spiritual messengers who enter behind the veil of another personality at certain opportune moments for service to humanity. She, herself, walked in over 30 years ago.

When a new soul comes into physical embodiment through the walk-in process, the original soul normally leaves, moving on to other experiences in the non-physical worlds, just as it would if it had gone through a physical death. The incoming soul assumes full responsibility for the human body, and for completing the life in progress. A walk-in can only take place with the full agreement of both the outgoing and incoming souls.

In some cases, the person may have conscious awareness that a change of souls has taken place, and they may even remember many of the details of the transitional process. But in most cases, the person is not consciously aware of the soul exchange, since the incoming soul inherits the residual memory stored in the cells of the physical body. So, the human life often continues on in a relatively seamless manner.

Soon after a walk-in transition occurs, however, the person involved usually begins to experience differences in their feelings -- how they feel about their family members and friends, their job, their home, and even the clothes they have been wearing. In some cases, these shifts in feelings are gradual and relatively subtle. But for others, the shifts may be immediate and dramatic! If the person is not aware of the concept of walk-ins, the experience can be very disorienting.

As members of WE International have had an opportunity to connect with each other and to share about their repsective experiences, it has become increasingly clear that there are many, many different types of walk-in situations. The common theme among all walk-ins is that they come into embodiment not only to be of service to humankind, but also to enhance their own spiritual growth.

We welcome you to this web site, and invite you to explore the information that is available within it. Although many of the members of WE International are walk-ins, there are many who are not -- it makes no difference. We find that there are a lot of people who are undergoing profound transformations in consciousness, and who suspect that it may be some form of walk-in experience. By joining WE International and participating in our conferences, many have come into a deeper understanding of the nature of their own beingness and their soul's purpose.

What is Taoism? -- torridgirl

borrowed from torridgirl

I recently had someone ask what Tao was. Since I put a chapter from the Tao Te Ching in most of my posts I figured more of you might be curious. So here we go....

Tao (pronounced "Dow") can be roughly translated into English as path, or the way. It is basically indefinable. It has to be experienced. Taoism resembles modern Physics in that it describes the nature of the universe, the laws that govern it and the ideal ways that a person might place themselves in harmony with those laws. As the oldest surviving book, it shows that the simpler and more in tune with the laws of Nature something is, the longer it will endure.

The founder of Taoism is believed by many to be Lao-Tse (604-531 BCE), a contemporary of Confucius. Taoism started as a combination of psychology and philosophy but evolved into a religious faith in 440 CE when it was adopted as a state religion.


Taoism is about seeking the middle path through life; avoiding extremes, threading a surefooted way between opposites so lightly and so reasonably that no act is followed by a reaction. The middle path means there no need to suffer the consequences of an act. In terms of the doctrine of Karma, it means knowing how to avoid bad reactions (bad karma).

The practice of Taoism is basically about discovering who you are, learning to sense the world around you directly. To contemplate your impressions deeply. It advises against relying on ideologies because to do so will rob your life of meaning and cut you off from your intuition. It is intuition that should be cultivated because this is the only way to really know the world. By having an intuitive understanding of the world you are in a position to predict the future and be able to position yourself so as to achieve your goals.

The Tao Te Ching is a challenge. It challenges you to see the world as it actually is by accepting the stark truth of the physical laws that control existence and evolution. It challenges us to discover intellectual independence wherein we have complete trust in our own perceptions and instincts. It challenges you to reject force and rely rather on the steady force of your attitudes to influence others.

Well, That is a basic summary of the life I am learning to live.

Acceptance -- Ra

"What tends to happen is that when
the shadow side is not integrated,
one will lash out at anything
or anyone in the physical world
that reminds them of same.

With this understanding, then,
we can see how it is that with
greater self-acceptance comes
greater acceptance of others.

When you are able to integrate
your own darkness, and put it forth in the light,
you then no longer have any reason
to be angry or spiteful or hateful,
when seeing this negativity in the planet at large."

--Ra

Learn and Let Go -- Diane

From the source of the many messages you receive, you get a measure of what is being done on your behalf. It has been a feature of this period, that many people have been enabled to make contact with Beings that are off Earth. Never before have so many become awakened, and it is a sign of the growth of consciousness that is taking place. For those who knowingly work with their Higher Selves, it is a small step to open up a line to other Beings.

There is a difference between being “open” to contact by any entity that approaches you, to a deliberate choice to make it with a Higher Being. Sometimes the ego gets involved, and it is prudent to aware as to which level of contact you have made. It is a fact that there are entities at lower levels that seek to make contact with those still on Earth. They delight in mimicking those who come to you as Guides, and because they do not really have true knowledge they can be very confusing. Care should always be taken when embarking on such a path.

Most of you have already planned your life in such a way that if contact with Higher Beings takes place, it has reason to be in your experiences. For some of you no amount of desire will bring it about, if your life has been planned otherwise. It may seem glamorous and exciting, but it calls for dedication and discipline that not everyone possesses. Be content to continue to raise your vibrations and make that important link with your Higher Self. It will be very rewarding if you “listen” to the advice and guidance you are given.

What you gain out of any source of contact comes down to your intuition, and if you take due notice it will serve you well. It is not necessarily going to be what you would prefer, but you can be assured that it will fit in with your life plan. That is clearly important, as undoubtedly at times you would not know in which direction to go. A successful life is one where you largely achieve the goals that you set yourself before you came. What else would you be here for, but the outworking of experiences that are needed for your spiritual evolution.

It is not a question of all work and no play, as pleasurable pursuits are also part of your life plan. For some they can be all consuming, but whatever path you take it will bring your karmic responsibilities to the fore. The greatest tests provide the most wonderful opportunities to move onwards. These are agreed upon by you and it is wise to reflect upon any position you find yourself in, and try to ascertain the reason why. There is a feeling amongst many of you that you are being punished in some way, and we frequently point out that this is not so. You question “Why Me”, and it is simply that you came with unfinished business, that necessitated learning lessons about the reality of life.

Think deeply about any experience, and be open to the possibility that you brought it upon yourself. If you are to learn from it, look for the message it brings you. Deep down in your subconscious mind you will find the answers, and it will help you overco
