State of the Vision
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The State of the Vision commentary is a mixture of intuitive insight tempered with the insight of experience and further discussions of "future-views" of what is likely to be coming around the corner. This issue's commentary continues to push the boundaries of what is considered acceptable to some. What is presented here is done with the intent to inform and help guide. Many hours are spent reviewing and considering the content of this publication and we offer it freely, without expectation of monetary consideration.


Introduction

Over the past several months we have covered topics such as the nature of the dark and the light, the emergence of Creation-2, the New Earth, examined problems in the process of creation, and the considered implications for the evolution of humanity. We have also touched on the existence of major transformational processes that are working to alter the nature of reality and serve to propel humanity into its next stage of evolution as spiritual beings. In this issue we focus on some of the systemic problems that clearly indicate cause for humanity to de-couple from what has been passed off as "normal" social and physical reality.

As noted in the November issue of GA News, there are two major tendencies within humanity engaged in a push-pull with one another, with a great deal of amplification occurring due to various influences outside of the immediate human sphere of awareness.

On one hand, there are those who are more aligned and focused on spiritual evolution than ever before. These individuals are a part of the early waves of humanity who are moving forward in their the evolution of consciousness and energetic make-up - surprisingly not all of them are aware of this! This group includes religious and non-religious orientations.

On the other hand there are those who are enmeshed and heavily identified with the dominant paradigm, the control matrix. This latter group includes both those of wealth and social-material power as well as those without any wealth or social-material power. This group also includes the religious as well as the non- religious.

To be certain, these are not antagonistic groups. Why? It is simply not possible for those more spiritually advanced to function in such a manner that gives rise to polarity and conflict. The home of polarity and conflict exists within the control matrix paradigm and is presently isolated to certain points in Creation-1, such as the present Earth-based reality. The sooner an individual disengages their consciousness from the control matrix, the sooner they will discover a new freedom and a new future and a new reality. Yes, it is entirely possible for a period of time to continue working and living within the "control matrix" and yet not have your consciousness identify with it. Yes, it is possible (although painful at times) to be very aware of what is transpiring in the old paradigm reality. And yes, temporarily it is a challenge to continue in ways that appear "ordinary" to yourself and others, yet always aware that you have shifted much in your consciousness. The next stage involves a shifting of your physicality and then more dramatic shifting of consciousness, etc. What we are describing here is a major facet of an ascension process.

So here is a question to quickly sort out what is most important in ones life:

If you were given the opportunity to be free of all forms of physical and emotional suffering and limitations, to be able to know anything, to live in a state of truth, love, and beauty, to explore the nature of existence, to learn how to create new environments, and to do this in community with others and be in direct conscious connection with higher realms of consciousness -- would you choose this over your present life situation and outlook?



Reality Paradigm, De-coupling, and Awakened Community
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Reality Paradigm, De-coupling, and Awakened Community

Over recent decades, many popular teachers, authors, gurus, and techniques have been promoted to seekers, all offering promises of the secret of the ages, the benefits of enlightenment, happiness, freedom, joy, love, beauty, wealth, sex, peace, love, power, special "blessings", etc., ad nauseum. There have been slick marketing campaigns with catchy phrases such as "authentic living", "integral culture", "authentic power", "wisdom of the world", "authentic spirituality", "the secret", etc. They provide clever marketing covers to keep people in a state of falseness and living within a subset of the dominant control matrix. Every year we see "re- branding" and new "package design" with claims of "new and improved" versions for people to sign up for. These are moneymakers for those living off the talk/seminar circuses, offering a parade of revelations about ET's, debates over global climate change, campaigns to end world hunger, and various "unity and oneness" pitches that serve to distract and misdirect and conceal the true nature of a reality matrix ruled by dark forces. Amidst all this is another falsehood, that of voluntarism, which misleads people into thinking the individual can triumph with enough effort. Further extended to humanity, this leads to a greater hubris and falsehood that on its own humanity can solve its problems and eventually reach the stars and beyond. The mixture of miasms that define the parameters of social beliefs and ideas serves one purpose only: to reinforce the prison of illusion that provides "the powers that be" with a key social control mechanism.

We were recently asked if there were any organizations or movements that we supported or endorsed, to which, the answer must be none, with one qualifying exception. Any organization or well-read publication today that has any significant effect or reach, nationally or globally, is likely to be heavily influenced by dark force patterning and otherwise compromised by virtue of its human operators and the natural consequences of emerging from within the control matrix. Thus their efforts can readily feed into the plans for a single global government controlled by a plutarchy, or otherwise easily side-tracked into ineffectiveness.

Concerning those rare initiatives that were inspired and designed from outside the matrix and in effect "smuggled" in through non-compromised human conduits, it was found that their implementation would have required human resources that simply did not exist and those most supportive were not capable to lead something of a high purpose, and hence those missions would have been undermined.

The qualifying exception to our non-support would be those local self-organizing efforts that are primarily and fundamentally spiritually focused. And this is why we support and encourage the formation of as many forms as possible of local awakened community. To date there are no local or national efforts that have demonstrated spiritual maturity and accomplishments to justify any outreach beyond their own core locale. While it is always possible this situation can change, it is not very likely. Naturally, self-organizing communities of people will seek out others to share information and inspiration and this is a good thing. But there cannot be any one model that promotes itself over any others and there cannot and must not be any organization, individual, or group that becomes a central body in effect handing out "franchises".

This warning is made quite deliberately with the intent to discourage groups of emerging spiritualized humans from overreaching their level of consciousness and spiritual capacity and from trying to organize others along particular models and energetic matrix. This caution is also to serve as constructive guidance to those seeking awakened community. Unless it is a local effort you are an equal part of, there is no group or leaders to join. Imagine an organism made up of independently functioning cells, all different, yet all moving with common purpose. It is that plain and simple.

Some would ask, if the status quo or the power elite is not openly challenged for power, is that not also supporting their dark plans? To which the answer is an unqualified no. Such a question implies that this reality is the only one there is and that the way the world and humanity functions is all there is to work with. If anything, such a false assumption as that is dangerous as it would condemn humanity to the ravages of a parasitic system under the rule of dark forces.

Those who are most aware of the nature of the control matrix and the power elite, know that there is nothing to gain in "fighting the system" since the structure of their power and influence is so pervasive and the operating parameters so closely defined. Simply put, you cannot win at their game by playing according to their rules. (Who would want to wind at their game, anyway?) Hence, it will be local communities of spirituality that will be in the best position to weather the storms of social and planetary changes.

One of the oldest social and political control mechanisms in history, known as "religion", has been repackaged and remarketed by both religious and non- religious interests. This is being done under the falsehood that the "great" religions of the world all offer ways of connecting with God and gaining deeper spiritual wisdom. This further reinforces the falsehood that spirituality and religions are either the same or closely related. Fundamentally, the only thing that religions have to do with spirituality is that they have been one of the most successful ways to prevent masses of people from connecting to God, Higher Consciousness, and their own innate spirituality. Religions have done this by placing arcane doctrines, practices, and some of the most un-enlightened individuals in positions of power and influence over the lives of most of the world's population. For those who are not members of a religion, they too are controlled by this --perhaps by their own opposition to religion, perhaps by the effects of religious cover provided to various wars. In some countries, such as the U.S.A., this false linkage between religion and spirituality has served for generations to prevent enlightened civil spirituality from arising and supplanting the influence of the dark forces. While there are now factors in play that will serve to weaken the hold that the religions have over people, these institutions will continue to exert much influence over humanity. (Editor note: We make no distinction between religions and their respective institutions as they are practicably inseparable.)

There are organizations and publications that speak of serving humanity's awakening in one form or another. A few are organized as religious movements, but most appear to be more secular. One such group adopted "awakening" as a slogan and promotes something called the Earth Charter Initiative that requires obedience to the United Nations treaties! (Editor note: The Earth Charter is a creation of a Gorbachev-led group and appeals to many of the same people as does the Gore-led global warming misdirection campaign.) One might well ask, who truly controls the U.N., who controls the most important treaties/agreements, and who has veto over the security council? Both these "projects" serve to conceal the true nature of the global control elite and help maintain human bondage under the guise of "we are all in this together" and seeking superficial reforms.

As the dominant social and physical paradigm and energetic reality breaks downs, a different reality and paradigm moves into place. It will be those who have disengaged from the old and connected with the new energies and higher consciousness who will find freedom in new dimensions of existence. Some of these individuals will be willing to maintain some connection to the old reality to aid others in transition and transformation.
Wonderful surprises are in store for those who are more aware.



Catalyzing Further Shifts in Consciousness - Breakdown of the Social and Planetary Environments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Catalyzing Further Shifts in Consciousness - Breakdown of the Social and Planetary Environments

Recently, tens of millions of people throughout the world have been severely impacted by destructive high winds and heavy rains. Unusual tidal events are now affecting coastal areas around the world with surging tides and gradually rising water. These tidal events are partly due to submarine lands displacing seawater. These are examples of the start of major "adjustments" to the planetary environment of terra firma, oceans, and skies with which our physical existence is related.

Food prices a drastically rising globally. The present financial crises are leading to the greater impoverishment of more people and to the greater concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a small number of humans. We are now somewhere around 25% into a global economic crash that will mainly serve to benefit those who are at the top of the "food chain" as well as their most loyal servants.

Unusual space energies are anticipated for December 2007 as well as possible large earthquakes that would affect North America. Also major earth change events are anticipated around October 2008.

Strange space and atmospheric anomalies have been observed and will be more noticeable in the coming weeks and months, for those so inclined, these will be signs of great changes. The recent comet sightings fit very closely with Hopi and other prophecies.

The period between now and 2010 will be one of extreme change for the planet as well as humanity. As always, choices become personal. It is difficult to let go of the railing of the Titanic while it still appears to be partially afloat.

In the political and social sphere there is growing outrage and opposition to the recent loss of presumed "civil rights" and the bursting of the false economic "prosperity" that has been highly orchestrated. This, coupled with decades of malicious deceit, corruption, and endless warfare causing terrible suffering for hundreds of millions of people, is leading to civil unrest and a repressive response by the authorities in the U.S.A and other counties. The opposition is highly fractionated and confused and lacks experience in elections, government or organization. Unless there is a focus on local core community, and the local political sub-divisions, such opposition will have little effect.

Many well-intended people think it is possible to change the control matrix using its own operating rules of control against it. This is a dangerous approach to take. Those newcomers who think they can effect social revolution peacefully or otherwise lack much of any understanding of the ease with which the global controllers rule over six and half billion people and most certainly lack any understanding of the basic operating rules of society - in the USA or most anywhere else.

Business magazines comment on billionaires and large company rankings. But they avoid talking about trillionnaires and the true extent of global control that rests in the hands of a very few hundred people that are headed by several families and coordinated by small committees. They in turn rely on a strata of highly privileged and influential individuals numbering in the tens of thousands. This strata in turn relies on the services of a strata numbering in the hundreds of thousands who are themselves wealthy and privileged to carry out the actual directives that are to lead to an absolute world government. (Editor note: we are deliberately omitting discussion here of alliances with various inter-dimensional and other off-world interests.)

In turn this strata relies on another layer of servants numbering in the millions, including senior managers, executives, administrators, politicians, etc. They in turn reach out through every means available to misdirect and confound the masses to stay with the system, things will get better, consumer spending will increase, etc. The global controllers have planned ahead for generations, while the social progressive of good intentions are barely able to react to events that are already beyond their grasp.

Their vision of the world is one of a highly controlled society and population levels. The global controllers have absolutely no preference of allegiance to any country, political or social "-ism", and will use any and all means at their disposal to move inexorably toward their long-range goals. We are presently very close to seeing this implemented. The only thing that will prevent this is the great transformational process of the earth and humanity that is underway under the guidance and facilitation of the highest levels of God consciousness.

Simply due to natural circumstance, most who are aligned with spiritual awakening have little or no grounding in the realities of society and its political and economic dynamics and mechanisms. Hence the apparent naivete expressed by these people. Those more aware of these mechanisms have little spiritual grounding through which to discern rightly and wrongly. The resulting incoherency is what we see around us, especially in the U.S. Europe has its own issues and is driven by excessive intellectualism rooted in an old paradigm and generally lacking spiritual vision.

Social unrest will become more pronounced and an increasingly harsh and authoritarian response from those in power will be implemented. There are many different types of people in U.S. who share common beliefs as to the right of free speech and dissent, the right to own firearms, and in what are supposedly rights and responsibilities conferred by the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. Declaration of Independence. Likewise, there are many in the armed forces and national guard who have major differences with official governmental policy and directives. Yet all these groups are divided by beliefs and lifestyle and are easily manipulated into ineffective responses.

Those in the greatest positions of power and influence (and who are not likely to be public figures) have their own imperatives that naturally are in conflict, violently in certain situations, with the best interests of large numbers of people. Hence the power elite will find ways to facilitate social breakdown, including the shift of vast wealth that is underway, the loss of the national language of English, the control of free travel between states and out of the country, etc. They will direct new false flag "terror" events to be staged to further shock the population into submission and fractioned confusion. The merging of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico is underway for 2008 and will require a new set of transnational laws. It will be certain that these laws will not be open for public discussion or election referenda.

In many countries similar situations will be uniquely tailored to local situations. Make no mistake, the movement toward establishing global rule by a plutarchic elite is underway. The global elite have looked and planned ahead for generations. In contrast, so-called social-spiritual progressive organizations and individuals are barely able to cooperate for more than one year in a fractionated tactical alliances and have always operated in reaction to perceived issues and challenges from the control matrix. In this manner they actually help, in a perverse way, to maintain the status quo. This is a fundamental problem of polarity consciousness and the "us versus them" mentality that pervades. The control matrix could not be so effective otherwise.

Managed and staged manipulations of the financial markets, military and international policy, mainstream media pronouncements, etc. will be used to misdirect and confuse any of the public who foolishly rely on such sources for "news". Internet sites that broadcast the reality of society under a "Fourth Reich" would be shut down. Countries are to be formed into regions, regions to be merged into a single world government. Fabricated fears will be used to remove what few legal protections remain of free speech. Currencies will be replaced by electronic data exchanges. Those who are enfranchised into society will carry a radio-frequency chipset either in the form of identity cards on their person, or bio-chip implants inside their body. Those who step out of line in terms of critical dissent will find themselves economically and legally "removed" and disenfranchised from the common society. Society will become populated by those who are good at living in denial and ignorance and in hiding their feelings and opinions. Such is the vision of the global controllers. While a large majority of U.S. adults do not believe the official lies about September 11th, the Middle East wars, etc., there remains a significant minority that continues to support the "powers that be". Some of these people are simply part of the "social inertial ballast" group profiled in the research essay in this issue of GA News, others are part of backward religious fundamentalist tendencies that seek to implement specific end-time scenarios as part of their own twisted path to spiritual "salvation". Additionally, there simply are those rich and poor who are simply accustomed to being stupid or are materially bought off and thus partially vested in "the powers that be" version of the future.

There are those who are so easily manipulated by "the powers that be" -mostly well-intentioned but seriously impaired individuals who continue to live in denial as to the true nature of the two-faced single party control system. Then there are those who for some reason have not been paying close attention to what good information is available to them and think that somehow a clean reform candidate actually stands a chance of being elected and that a clean sweep is possible of the heavily corrupt U.S. Congress. Perhaps they were not paying attention to the rigged elections or think that presidents or key party leaders do not get assassinated. Then there are those who are naïve in thinking that race or gender somehow is a deciding factor with regard to consciousness or ethics. These people have obviously not been paying attention to the information available to them either.

Recently published dire economic forecasts anticipate a severe global economic crash by the end of 2009. It is our assessment that this is more likely to occur before the end of 2008, depending on the severity of anticipated earth changes. If the earth changes are less severe in their destruction, then it is more likely that the economic crisis will be smoothly managed to more efficiently concentrate more wealth and power in the hands of the plutarchy and diminish what limited social economic freedom exists for the masses of people from whom they extracted their wealth in the first place.

It is only natural for people to want to maintain connection with what has been familiar, even if it causes further suffering. As the national and global economic, social, and political processes breakdown, more people will have an opportunity to see the terrible lies and villainy behind the public faces of their most influential public figures and institutions. To some this will cause righteous anger and desire for retribution, to others it will be cause to abandon any further identification with or expectations of life under the control matrix. And yes, there will continue to be a small but significant group that constitutes "social inertial ballast" the effect of which is to support the dominant control structures. As more people see more of the reality behind the public façade, millions of people will open to new possibilities and higher consciousness.

Naturally, for the majority of people who identify with the present reality, it is only natural to seek public expression of protest and exposure. For those full of righteous outrage over the current world situation, to act externally by campaigning against this and that, is of limited value however, and consumes precious human resources in an oppositional mode, leaving little energy for constructing something new. A caution would apply to those in the early stages of awakening -their nascent and unconsolidated spiritual energies are easily dissipated by acting in opposition to the "control matrix". This does not mean to be apathetic, as many would have you be, nor does it mean not to discuss the nature of "the powers that be". To the contrary, it is good to be aware and informed. However, there are different avenues for expression and action for those who are moving through the transformational process.

People need to consider all actions taken in the name of nations, races, religions, etc. as deeply as possible. Ultimately, why should humanity be allowed to go on as it has been? Survival of genes? Not a good reason. The codes of life can be recreated and reseeded endlessly. To be good planetary citizens who can turn all Earth and eventually the cosmos into one vast commercial (hopefully more peaceful) enterprise? I think not.

Everyone needs to consider why they are alive today and ask their highest selves what the highest possible future could be to their highest aspirations as essentially spiritual beings? Ask what is the highest possible future for this experiment of Creation that "thinks" it is self-aware and calls itself "humanity"?

This central aspirational question needs to permeate our lives daily and be allowed to inspire and inform and guide our actions. This is perhaps a most revolutionary question. This can help dissolve most of the ties that so directly and indirectly bind so many people to corrupt organizational institutions and social customs. In turn this will have a powerful revolutionary effect on people's actions and energies.

Welcome communion with your own higher selves and with the highest levels of God Consciousness. Demand to see beyond the illusions. Make this your prayer/intention to yourself every night before you go to sleep. Ask to remember the answers as well. It is your divine right. This is why creating new forms of community relationships is so important now as a transition step to a radically more evolved existence that relies upon our basic nature as spiritual beings rather than as intelligent yet self-centered humans.



More on Awakened Community
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
More on Awakened Community

There is a general call to form new community and it is being conveyed by various individual messengers. New books and articles are appearing. In one recent commentary, Karen Bishop (www.whatsuponplanetearth.com), highlights the release of arrogance and the importance of living in community with others where the energies and vibrations of each must be able to exist in harmony with a community lifestyle. Karen writes:

"We are being prepared for community living. And we are purging and releasing arrogance. So even though these times may be stressful, challenging, and stretch us to the maximum, they would not be occurring if community living was not on the very near horizon, and if we were not, as always, aligning more fully with Source. In order to live successfully in community, we must fit. The energies and vibrations of each and every one of us must be able to exist in harmony with a community lifestyle. We are being groomed and prepared for community living because so much of the old world and old systems will be falling away and will end in the very near future. In this way, we can now know that all is always in divine and perfect order, as we are always and most certainly being protected and guided through this amazing ascension process. -- In community living, the whole is vitally important. We cannot exist without the whole, and each and every one of us is vitally important to the success of the whole. So then, arrogance comes from things being our idea, and not as much an idea that stems from our connection to Source."

The arrogance she refers to is related to the centrality of the individual operating in separation from Source consciousness. It is related to the concepts of the triumph of the individual effort over circumstances and when extended to humanity, would represent a collective embrace of the dark forces that have for so long manipulated portions of Creation-1 for their own selfish ends.

That humans get together to work in community in a new way in the context of spiritual awakening (rather than physical survival) is a very important thing. This is in contrast to organizing political communities under the illusion of building a grassroots movement to overthrow the old order and make a new world. It would be hubris for humans to think that on their own they can fix everything or make everything new in the absence of conscious connection to higher self/higher God/Source.

It is folly to think that a new world will emerge through elections, money and policy. The time is over for this sort of "gradualism". What is on the horizon is the complete transformation of the planet and humanity.
The battle for human consciousness and human existence is now clearly on earth and in the human sphere. It is evident everywhere. Various individuals and organizations are showing up this year that use the "right sounding" catch phrases to keep people within the boundaries of the matrix. Most of the public figures associated with social or spiritual "progressive" groups are not in any position to offer anything that represents an evolutionary step forward to humanity, despite their years of writing and talking about such possibilities. For reasons too complex to explain in this brief section, there are presently no viable alternatives for social organization and economy at a global level. It is of the utmost importance for people to focus now, where they live and work, on forming new community with one another. One that transcends any and all established organizational and belief systems. We have identified three basic guiding principles: trust, caring, and service that are within a fourth and greater context of connection to all of creation. Thus local community can be of mutual assistance of one another and whenever possible form networking relationships with other similarly aligned communities. This represents the most useful transitional form for humanity as people become more acquainted with the transformational processes that are unfolding.



Conclusion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Conclusion

This State of the Vision has been necessarily lengthy. To sum up a little, there are basically two paths. For the majority of people who may not be aware of this, they will be soon enough by virtue of events in the human and earthly physical realms as well as events and transformational energies in the invisible realms.

Humanity is closer than ever before to activating the most extreme consciousness and reality-shifting possibilities. At present, the level of tension between catastrophic change by human or natural origins and the influx of higher consciousness has grown to a truly unprecedented magnitude.

Humanity must graduate to 5th dimension and beyond, one way or another. There is no other future. This reality is nearly over and done with. There is nothing to fix or that is fixable. To hang on, under even well-intentioned self-delusion of making cities, towns, counties, states, nations better, etc. is a dead end. Those who hang on too long will have the roughest ride.

There are many who continue to naively hope that reform leaders can be elected and that our civil rights will be reinstated and that the economic crisis will not continue into a more profound crash affecting people worldwide. At the present trajectory, there is the gradual degeneration of capitalistic consumer society, while quietly local communities of people intentionally aligned along lines of spiritual evolution arise here and there and become islands of light for millions of people.

Humanity will be buffeted by waves of tumultuous energies of the light and dark while the powerful transformational energies work in the background and soon more in the foreground. What will surprise everyone, regardless of personal beliefs, will be these energies and the alterations to physical reality. (A future article will discuss more of the transformational process that was introduced in the October issue of GA News.)

Humanity has reached a point where it has devoted most available resources toward destructive conflict among itself and with the natural world. This cannot continue unabated. We can and must make new choices and act upon them. It is within our grasp and capacity to do so. The first step is to wake up to this option. We have so artfully managed to distract ourselves with personal and collective pleasures and power-seeking that we, as a species, seem hopelessly unconscious to an impending dramatic crossroad in our reality. The possibility of true peace and resolution to all aspects of human suffering and conflict with our natural environment is now before us.

An enlightened future is not about polarities. It is not about who we do or do not vote for, democracy or plutocracy, or war or peace. It is not about differences between various religious texts and what various groups of people think about them. It is not about capitalism or the corruption of society by the "commodification" of our personal and social relationships. These are all the short-term choices that we seem to have already made by default and for which we now seek remedies.

What is before us is the emergence of an evolutionary shift in our physical, social, psychological, and spiritual existence. This shift benefits everyone, regardless of their personal circumstance or belief system. What is needed is to surrender our ordinary personal and societal "ambitions" in favor of spiritual evolution. It is becoming more present to us every day -it is, after all, our future selves calling to us.

Thanks!

Re: Global Awakening news - State of the Vision

That was a really uplifting read. It makes me not care that a financial crash is going to care. I have noticed so many synchronicities line up for me all the time. Improbable coincidences happening all the time. I don't feel contempt for anyone. All I want is peace. I would absolutely love to live in a spiritual community where our primary goal is spiritual evolution. I have definitely witnessed the power of our mind too. We alter our futures by what we intend. So our goals right now should be to align with others of similar purpose. We need to find others like ourselves. Hmm... I don't think I have ever met anyone like myself... lol... Well, we will see what the future has to offer. There is a group that meets at my local library every Monday to discuss "Reincarnation and Karma."

What do you all think are some of the best ways to further your spiritual evolution?

Strengthen your microcosm. Love. Knowledge. Faith.

Re: Global Awakening news - State of the Vision

Going with the flow.  For example, last march I was working at Red Lobster and then it just got boring to the point where I would come into work, see at 10 hour "par" sheet and then proceed to get high in their bathroom.  The only cool thing about working there was a girl.  Then as the universe manifests things, I get a job skating! As hockey is my favorite activity.  And so then I get a new house and everything, after having no where to go, and then BOOM! At the start of April both jobs are gone.  Fired from Red Lobster and lack of cold for the other, I now had no money again and no where to go!  Then as the universe manifests itself, I got a call to join a traveling carnival, thee best job I've ever had in my life.

The best way is your own way.  I myself like to relax, worry-free and enjoy myself so I can enjoy others.  To know what I want and what I no longer want to be a part of.  Then while relaxin' I listen to silence and then cry for beauty that IS BEING.  Then want to share the feeling yet can never find the words because the feeling itself is transcendental.

I am glad if the Earth is changing.
And WE ARE doing it.
It's the way we IS lol wink

What do you all think are some of the best ways to further your spiritual evolution?

I don't know if you are much aware of me becasue I don't recall reading many, if any, responses of yours in threads I have started.  This isn't to say that you did not read them, though, so my apologies if you chose not to because of time or focus limitations.

I live in a small Liberal Northern California village just north of a UC campus set quaintly on a hill overlooking a diverse and dynamic mid-sized Californian coastal town.  A few years ago when I was experiencing some rather euphoric and enlightening episodes of awakening I seeked out a local "spiritually astute"  hangout with the intent to learn more and interact with people who were willing to engage in discussion and debate about such similar interests as spirituality, philosophy, religion(limited), metaphysics, astrology, environmentalism, and poetry. A bit similar to those who have ended up here at NR with ideas, experiences, and questions to throw out to the membership.  With great delight I found that the "Coffee Emporium" was exactly suited for my growth and sharing of these same sorts of interactions you mention.

For years, it seems like I started around the beginning of the Iraq war, I spent many mornings and mid-days meeting and discussing with people, making new friends, and sharing the love.  I never excluded anyone from a conversation, and tried to welcome many new people to the developing group of highly knowledgeable, insightful and experienced then current regulars.  At one point last year a new resident, a fired/retired professor from Montana, came into the shop. He was often listening in on conversations and very supportive of my curiosity and lack of indepth background in the topics I was discussing.  He commented that he appreciated that I had welcomed him into the Coffee Emporium with a  pleasantness and graciousness that stood out above the others who were more "cold-shouldered". He later coined me "the synchronicity guy" around the larger college town where he has become an activist and fantasy Presidential candidate. He was in the peace corp during the 60's and has many well-placed(government, universities, corporations, etc.) friends who have keep in regular contact and would support the idea of a third party candidacy.  I was asked to join his mythical governement; I suggested I could be the cabinemaker, LOL!!. He has introduced me to many interesting people, all of which seem spiritually connected and also politically conscientious. Many seem to have gifts for poetry, music, and/or art. I think it has been my poetry that gained the most respect, yet many amazing synchronicities have cemented our friendship.

He was bounced out of the Coffee Emporium last year for what the "associate" in charge of such things says was "angry language" directed at a local teacher one afternoon.  I had heard about the incident from a few people and I know the details and reasons for his stern comments.  This is besides the issue I will bring up.  He knows better than to elevate his voice in indignant rage in a public retail establishment, but felt it would make a stronger point.  What he didn't know was that a few regulars had intentionally attempted to build a case against him to find an excuse to eliminate the educated support he was giving on my behalf in debates with other regulars. Many of the so-called "well-read" were frustrated that I could debate their sophisticated arguments with such simple means as personal awareness and experience.  Not all discussions were heated, but when they were I stood my ground with support from current books I had read. My most ardent challengers were usually friends who gave me many leads on additional books. These authors(C.G.Jung, M.Scott Peck, Ken Wilber, Robert Bly, Robert Sternberg, Alice Miller) were in the back of my mind as I grasped for points to support my positions. You can imagine these talks were continued with the intent to progress my spiritual astuteness, for these people have become my closer friends.

What the professor taught me was the effects that discussions in coffee/tea shops can accomplish to elevate community awareness of discussed issues.  Many people would sit and listen while reading the paper and never participate in the discussions, yet later when we were there alone it was common for people to ask me what I was currently reading; this then began a pleasant conversation--usually about spiritual issues.  I learned a valuable amount the last 4 years from repetition of this format: read, discuss, welcome new people and thoughts, and do it on a regular basis. Now the backlash......

A year and a half ago I introduced one friend to a new friend. As they both shared credentials while first standing to shake hands, I sat quietly and witnessed how two academics and successful businessmen communicated.  After about 5 minutes of intense back-and-forth interaction sharing of credits with each other,  one was a priest and the other was a monk and past director of a local monestary, I interupted with, "Hello, my name is [titmouse_], I'm a carpenter and poet. Nice to meet the both of you!".  They laughted at their behavior and then included me at the small table.  Later, when I layed some heavy insights on them, they commented to me something I will never forget: "Well, it is clear that you are the priest and we are the students."  From then on I was no longer considered a newby in the spirituallity department. Both had witnessed synchronicities in my presence and became more aware of my "project".

Last year before Thanksgiving here in the US, my priest friend (age 63) had the second stroke in his life.  After discovering this I visited him in the hospital.  He told me he had a wonderful spiritual experience and 40 doctors gathered to listen to what he had to say about how the stroke had affected him. He is a man who has read over 50, 000 books and taught at a few local colleges, plus being one  of the wealthier members of the community through inheritance and operation of a local construction company.  I had befriended him not knowing anything about him other than he had a similar zest for learning and discussion of topics like those I earlier stated.  We have shared many spiritual experiences and insights together during our daily discussions at the Coffee Emporium. He was soon transfered to a rehab center after he stabalized and I visited him there.  The first visit at the rehab center afforded him the time to think about his future priorities and I have not seen him in person since that time.  We do keep in touch via voicemail.  Not many people hear from him, but he always tells me he loves me at the end of his messages.  I fully understand why he has distanced himself from the world and our discussions. He experienced a metanoia that has changed him--this is what he told me in the hospital when we wasn't sure if he would have the chance to see me again: "I had a spiritual experience more profound than any in the past.  I now see the world and people the way you do--through the eye of spirit.  I don't see people for what they look like on the exterior any longer, such as status, education, persona, etc., I see deep into their heart like you can. I see the angelic nature of the nurses, the hearts of the attendants, and the love that resides deep within all people.  Thank you, my friend, for being the person you have been for me".

In his world of business, academic, church, and social prominence, he treats/ed me like the only person he really trusts. He gave me insights into the world of philosophy, religion, and business.  Spirituality was already an aspect of gnosis which came easiy to me through no efforts in reading or discussion, but the terminology and ability to stand confidently in what I have always known did come from my interactions at the Coffee Emporium. People do come together for special unrealized purposes; some to learn and some to mentor--and most to do both.  I mentored, by example, qualities in character that my priest/business/professor friend had not learned from scripture and books.

Since earlier in the year I have not been frequenting the Coffee Emporium due to a major focus shift back to my family, work, and personal priorities. The greatest battles waged in discussion with other regulars was usually about ethics or actions.  I could not grasp easily the concept that one close friend kept exposing--the idea that we are not necessarily here to assist others; that any action or inaction is valid due to the deterministic nature of the spiritual forces.  I strongly believe that free will determines the choices we make. I believe we chose to take action to help or to harm.  I cannot witness a person fallen in the street and not ask if they need assistance. My other friend doesn't feel obligated and is concerned about being punished for not allowing a person to learn from their condition.  This friend is a computer "trainer" for hi-tech corporations and I rather feel his title is best described as a euphamism for "Indoctrinator". I believe he has no ethical foundation and I regularly have called him on it; this of which I know gets heard throughout the coffee shop.  He and I always came back for more discussion so I don't hold, nor do I believe he does, any animosity for our differences.

This spiritual place where we have come together has revealed some shadow behind the projcted image of love and acceptance.  I now am feeling the ramifications of my interest towards spiritual transcendence, via the internet.  I wouldn't be surprised if Noble Reams isn't soon frequented by a local Coffee Emporium "bouncer" looking to paint a dark picture of a poet named "carefulcarpenter".

If you are interested in the mindset that resists spiritual growth and spiritual awakening you may want to take a look at a few threads at Kittyradio.com:spirtuality forum.  My user name is "Sophia_". You can decide for yourselves what you think.  The interesting aspect to all of this is that I continually learn spiritual truths whether through spiritual experiences or through "psuedo-crucifixion" by "associate/s" who supports a "spiritual haven" business such as the "Coffee Emporium" (fictitious name used in my writings). I'm sure the leaders of the local spiritual group(also owners of the business) have been behind the efforts to punish me and intimidate me away from any further participation there. Can you fathom a quiet spiritual oriented tea house that would require a mostly fulltime "bouncer"?  As an "accociate" I have also witnessed him clearing out a clogged ceptic system and intimidating homeless customers who were "fondling the mechandise" (cd's, sample scent bottles, hats, etc). Can one's authentic spiritual practice be legitimately accepting to such enforcement of "sacred quiet space"? In one overheard comment by the "associate" to a homeless man I heard this--"I've noticed that you take pennies from the penny dish to pay for your coffee, more than once".

Re: Global Awakening news - State of the Vision

Hey titmouse_, thanks for the story.

I think your 'associate' sounds kind of like an alpha-male. You know, the guy who wants to be in charge of everything, let everyone know who is boss, who's will is dominant. I bet he chases after women, too!

Or, maybe its a woman. Still, women can be like that, but usually in a different way.

I think that the alpha male gene (or meme)  is being phased out of the pool. I notice the alpha males in my community struggling with their habits, and the smarter ones are giving way a little more to the Tao, to the flow that is not dependent on their own good wisdom.

If I'm right, then I predict your 'associate' will soon enough find a reason to bounce himself from the group, if he doesn't lighten up a bit!

NEW BEGINNINGS AND THE END OF DARKNESS...THE 12/12 PORTAL

Greetings!   

A brief note:  Unknown to me, about 90% of the e-mails I sent out in the last month did not arrive at their destination. Evidently there was a problem with the connection to my new ISP. So, I greatly apologize to anyone who contacted me, as I am horrified that any thank-you’s for donations and other correspondences appeared to be neglected. It has always been extremely important to me to hand write a thank you note to each and every one who donates through the mail, and to e-mail a thank you for computer generated donations. You are all so greatly appreciated and acknowledged. Even though, it was a great experience for me to feel terrible as I am clearing my “over-responsibility” pattern, but perhaps not so good for the e-mail recipients!



In addition, I have been asked by Sherri (my sister-in-law whom I mentioned in the last energy alert) to relate a message:


“I’d like to thank the tremendous number of readers who have responded to my special Soul Chat offer.  I am deeply touched, overwhelmed and overjoyed all at the same time!  Please know that I am responding as quickly as I can while still trying to maintain a certain amount of sanity in my life!  At this time I am almost booked to the end of January with many more email requests to respond to from those who have given me their preferred dates/times for a chat.  As long as I have your request by mid January I would like to honor the discounted price even if we schedule the session past the original offer date of Feb. 14th.



Thank you for your understanding and patience during this process.  Spirit will connect us in divine right timing!



With much appreciation, love and JOY to you all,

Sherri ”



Sherri also says that she will get back to each and every one of you…she is simply overwhelmed right now with mountains of e-mails! Below is the latest energy alert:



Here’s the latest energy and spiritual evolutionary news, and I greatly look forward to reporting it to you, as it involves the end of a long period of transition and preparation. There will be news in this energy alert as well about the portal of December 12.



2007 was a rocky and challenging year for many…especially the latter six month period after the solstice. And now, another solstice is due to arrive, marking the final point of this deep transitional and preparatory period.



This deep period of excavation that lasted for so many months was vitally necessary to our spiritual evolutionary process, as it prepared us for the next level of spiritual hierarchy. And the best is yet to come…we have been preparing for it! Higher vibrating key concepts and ways of being were integrated within us, notably:  learning and experiencing how to stay still and in our center and how to harmonize with the energy of community.



When we first arrive in a higher dimension or higher vibrating energy, it feels glorious at first, as all our needs seem to be met and we seem to be able to create much of anything instantly. As time progresses, we find ourselves aligning with these newer higher realms, and this always involves a clearing and purging of any energies or patterns within and without which no longer match our new surrounding vibration. So we first feel great and then we feel not so great.



And as complicated as it may seem, our outside vibration does not dictate our inside vibration alone. How we vibrate on the inside, also dictates what occurs in our outside reality. So then, creation and evolution is always a two edged process. It comes from the outside and it comes from the inside, culminating in an alignment and burst of creation and change, similar to the big bang theory.



This process can create some confusion, chaos, and what may seem at times, an unending roller coaster ride. We adjust our vibration within, through clearing and letting go of lower vibrating energies (which is initiated by the newly arriving outside energies!), and then the outside reality feels downright unpleasant to be in, at times causing depression and anxiety, and always, that no sense of place feeling. This is because the outside physical manifestations no longer fit our new inside vibrations.



Add to this the waiting times, as we need to wait for a critical mass to catch up, in order to arrive at that culmination point for creating new in the physical, and this results in the wading through quicksand experience, the lethargy, and the lack of passion. All are typical ascension experiences.



And in addition, it seems that some of our beloved animal companions seem to choose to depart the earth plane as well during these deep transitional times, as they have chosen not to continue on to the next plateau.



So then, how does all this relate to where we are now? We are most certainly moving up the rungs of the ascension ladder, piece by piece, and experience by experience. Currently, we have reached a new level, and this involves the level of living in unity and within community. This new level, as with all levels, also connects us more fully with Source, or our souls, and this then, has most recently created the adjustments involving being still and staying in our center.



Having a physical ailment or injury forces us to stay down, and thus creates a situation where we must get out of the way, allowing Source to enter more fully. Do you remember in months past when some of us re-visited an old injury or physical malady that lasted several weeks? This was why. If the right side of your body is continually aching, stiff, or uncomfortable, or even if you experience injuries on your right side only, your soul is making an attempt at re-aligning you with Source. Making things happen by ourselves is not the way in the higher realms. It is Source who does it all (or our souls), and this can readily happen when the lower vibrating aspects of ourselves are out of the way. Injuries or discomfort on the right side of our bodies indicates an over-use of the old masculine.



We are needing to evolve from the old male identity on the planet, to the new identity embodying much more of the feminine. (None of this is new news to most of you, just a recap here to assist in explaining our current status.) And the feminine is needing an adjustment as well. We are learning the true and higher ways of giving, supporting, allowing, and receiving. All these adjustments within involve a way of staying still, in our center, not extending, not doing it all, and the like. When we are present and still, Source can then find us and we are then within a portal or an alignment with the higher realms. And this is where true creating occurs.



Living in communities? We have just gone through a massive clearing of arrogance. This created a need to really look at ourselves, what our patterns were which might have involved a disrespect for others, or any dominance, etc. and a special time to fully examine how we had been vibrating even though we may not have know that we needed to adjust a thing within ourselves. We may not have seen our patterns before, but now this light has illuminated much. It was grand opportunity indeed. And know as well, that some of our old patterns were necessary in order to survive on a planet that was vibrating in a much lower and denser way.



Living in community involves a special harmony. We each have a special gift and contribution to make, and we are now finding that even though we may indeed embody our gift right now, we need not be utilizing it 24/7. If we do, we are then over-using our gift, and being “on” 24/7 creates a separation from the whole. It was meant that we enjoy ourselves the remainder of the time…we make our contribution, we create according to who we are and what we are here to contribute, and then we enjoy ourselves with the remainder of the whole.



So then, for the past several months we have been preparing for what is due to arrive in January. I cannot emphasize this enough….January will bring in the new in a very solid and grounded way. Things will be oh so much better, and really take off for us. 2008 will be the year of new beginnings, and in order to utilize them and be ready for them, we had to be in alignment with them, and thus, this phase of deep preparation for the past several months.



Solstices involve going deep. The days and nights are not equal. This creates the excavating energy. Equinoxes involve moving forward, and reaping the rewards we have generated. Phil and I are finding most certainly now, through our work and observations at the ancient sites, along with our communications with the ancient ones, that the ancients were very aware of these fluctuations and timelines, and their inherent purposes. So even if these patterns were not evident through experiencing the energies alone, they would be known by observing the petroglyphs and occurrences at the ancient sites.



For the past several weeks, there has been massive darkness on the planet. Horror, creepiness, and a vulnerability could be felt (especially if you are a sensitive one). This is because much is being excavated and is up and out, right in our faces. This phase also creates a feeling of no sense of place, as we do not belong anywhere right now. We may feel displaced, not know where in the world to go now, and feeling grossly insecure. It may feel as if there is nowhere left to go. And who wants to land somewhere when most of everything feels dark and creepy? This temporary darkness can also cloud any judgments or clarity we may desire. It can be difficult to make decisions, when we are not sure what the darkness is indicating.



When the darkness occurs, though a massive purging like this one, it seems this is all we can see. We are thus looking through a filter that is not real.



Know that there is an end to this phase, and very soon. We will again find home. We will again see beauty. We will again feel good. We will again experience caring, love, and a feeling of home and unity. It is this that we have been preparing for. We needed to be in alignment with these higher vibrating things before we could embody and experience them, and they will be arriving for us in January.



January will be huge. It will be solid. It will be real. It will be like a massive bulldozer moving us forward…not excavating this time, but moving us into and supporting us in our new spaces and in our new endeavors.



The last few pieces are now being wrapped up. These involve the solstice of the 21st (some say the 22nd, but Phil and I are finding that it greatly depends upon where you reside on the planet anyway), and the portal of December 12, or 12/12.



12/12 will open us to opportunities. It will re-validate what we have been wanting to create. It will align us with higher intentions and with our soul’s direction. It will re-connect us. Do we need to intentionally do anything on this date? My stance has always been “no.” Things will just happen naturally. On the 12th, you may find that things seem to be falling into place all of the sudden. You may find that situations seem to be resolved. You may feel lighter. You may get clarity.



“Why do you tell of the 12/12 portal on the exact day and not before, so that we can prepare?” you might wonder in annoyance. It is because I don’t think it really matters. Things always occur very naturally…we need not force them or make them happen. And in addition, there is always a window of energy around every alignment. If we wish, we can write down what we wish to create for our futures on this day, or near this day. But our souls know what is in store for us. It is always there, hidden away, ready to be hatched, even though we may not always be consciously aware.



If we can place ourselves in a space of relaxation, joy, creativity, simplicity, and happiness, all things align very naturally. In this way, intentional ceremony is not necessary either. Just allowing is enough. When Phil and I stand at pivotal points in ancient ruins at solstice and equinox times, we can feel the alignments and the portal openings. They all occur very naturally. And the alignments know what our soul’s intentions are…they only serve to open them more fully.



In the last energy alert of December 2, I spoke of a high energy pyramid hidden beneath the earth in the area we just moved to. This pyramid will open when the surrounding energies begin to vibrate at a certain pitch, or when the inhabitants of this area begin to embody these higher energies. In this way, an activation occurs very naturally. We need not intentionally activate a thing. If we did, the very thing we were trying to activate would hold a higher vibration for a short while, and then most likely not be able to maintain it. Not really doing things intentionally is part of clearing the arrogance.



As we begin to vibrate higher, most things come from an intent of love and caring, or joy and passion, and that alone places us in alignment with the higher realms. It is always the emotion behind the creation that fuels it’s ultimate destination.



Again, staying still, not reaching or trying, not extending, but creating in our joy, loving and being in the moment, and just being who we are, are all that is necessary for aligning with the higher realms. If we can maintain this state as much as possible, while not taking things personally or being affected and reacting to outside energies, we can much more easily go through the doorway to another dimension.



So as we complete this very last phase of preparation and alignment within ourselves, we can rest assured that a very new reality is on the very near horizon.



Phil and I will be spending a very quiet Christmas together with our cat and dog, and a delicious meal, while we watch the snow fall and decorate our tree. We are desiring a very simple Christmas together, and will then be going on to California to visit relatives later on. So then, the next energy alert may be posted a bit later than usual.



Wishing you a magical holiday season, with much love and joy, and many miracles in between….
