Topic: What's Up On Planet Earth

So I just read the latest update by "Karen".

Part of me feels like it's just the flip side of all the negative predictions that never come to pass.  You know. . Harmonic Convergence. . Harmonic Concordance. .it's going to get easier now.  No really this time.  Stay tuned for the next update.

Not to sound pessimistic. . .I just think that when the tide truly turns it will come as a surprise, and unannounced.  A small, subtle, yet undeniable change felt on the inside before it manifests physically.

It is not for us to understand love, but simply to make space for it.

Re: What's Up On Planet Earth

I've never been quite sure what to think about that site.  Some of it seems to ring true, but I can definitely see where you're coming from in saying it's just the flip side!

Also in what you say about those predictions.  It's always getting better, always tomorrow, carrot on a stick.

And yeah - the biggest changes do tend to come as a complete surprise.  I'm sure dinosaurs weren't sitting around expecting it to happen. And we sure as hell weren't expecting it on 911.  (well, ok, some ppl were but you get my point).

I've said it a few times recently that, we can predict all we want and usually these kinds of events wont happen while we're expecting them.  But the second we dont expect anything -- BANG.

So I guess we'll see...heh

Re: What's Up On Planet Earth

Part of the problem with the site is that it's so "soft," it's almost like reading an astrological forecast.  Oddly, I have found a lot of correlations between the energy she reports and what happens.  But I'm not sure this is truly related to an ascension, or if she's just a good energy reader.

I see what you mean about the carrot on the stick.  She has it in spades, and I haven't decided what to make of her, either.

Re: What's Up On Planet Earth

It's alittle too new age for my liking, saying things that often times can't be proven.  However, there does seem to be energy fluctuations in the world, affecting people in the same ways, and like somebody else mentioned she does seem to be good at reading energy in that regard.   But whether the nature of this energy, the reasoning behind it, the function, purpose, etc. is what she's claiming it is.............that's the heart of the issue.   But because she speaks with confidence, claiming things that the new agers like to hear, she's gained some huge popularity in that crowd.  For instance, here's a typical statement you'll find on the site:


What's Up on Planet Earth wrote:

"In August of 2005 we reached critical mass.  On November 11, 2005 (11:11) we experienced a monumental pivotal point where the Heavens opened, merged with the Earth, and completely enveloped us in the higher realms.  Two waves had ascended, the time was finally here, and we did it!  We had succeeded in our missions as lightworkers.

How can anybody prove or disprove this?  You can't.  Overall though, I have to say that I don't get a bad feeling about Karen.  She doesn't strike me as crazy, or purposeful disinformation agent.  She seems nice, and well meaning, and I have from time to time checked in at her site on my own accord to see what she was saying.   In general I just don't fully mesh with that stuff, specifically, the laser beam focus on ascension, and also, the lingo.   Again, whether these energy happenings pertain to ascension, who can prove either way?  And to me the jargon/lingo is just another one of the new age trappings, along with the costumes/clothes they often wear and the names they give themselves. (Karen is refreshing in that regard though....she's dressed in regular clothes and goes by her real name.)  It's a mixed bag.  It's sincere enough that I don't have bad feelings about her, but it's not enough on my own wavelength that I would recommend it to people.

Re: What's Up On Planet Earth

That's kind of how I see it, Lyra.  I don't get bad vibes from her, and I do think she's sincere.  However, the circular nature of her energy reports indicate that she's describing shifts, but perhaps not the "ascension" she expects.   Perhaps this ascension is something she happens to be fixated on, so she interprets what she sees in response to that. 

I don't doubt that we are in some sort of important shift or ascension process, but I don't believe it will come in a specific form we can point to and say, "There it is!"

Re: What's Up On Planet Earth

I don't really pay attention to any predictions she makes but her stuff is
useful to tap into the emotional feminine band of intuitional awareness.
Her energy alerts are really like astrological reports with an emphasis
on what changes are currently in effect, but without the astro jargon.

What she has to say could usually be boiled down to a few short statements.
But she seems to hit the mark quite a bit once you understand what she's
saying.  I agree with you, lyra.  I don't get any bad vibe from her.

Re: What's Up On Planet Earth

My two cents worth.........With so many sites and (so called) spiritually advanced people proliferating on the net it becomes harder to sort the facts from the disinformation and the divinely inspired from the bandwagon -book to sell-weavers of tales and spells. Ascension is big business these days which means a lot of these same people should be out of a job within five years or less if truth is spoken. (Why not give away free e books if you really wish to reach people in time and that is your purpose?) 
A lot of the good stuff out there resonates with me at times because it is what I want to hear in certain spiritually needy moments. But is it truth? As far as the end of the world, destructive, negative part, that is also something that keeps one on the edge of ones seat - with repeated visits to these same sites to check if it is all over yet. It's great to feel as if we are part of a community that is monitoring things and somewhat in control but also a great way to manipulate many by a few.

On Karen's site (and seen in various forms in other places) there is in the Ascension Primer a list of symptoms
that indicate the ascension process and I note that the symptoms are almost exactly the same as the things that people all over the world are experiencing after or during heavy chemtrail spraying. examples from the site :-

Feeling as if you are in a pressure cooker or in intense energy; feeling stress / Depression / Anxiety, panic and feelings of hysteria / A need to eat often along with what feels like attacks of low blood sugar. A craving for protein / Weight gain / Unusual aches and pains throughout different parts of your body / A feeling of disorientation; not knowing where you are; a loss of a sense of place. “Where in the world am I? / A sudden disappearance of friends, activities, habits, jobs and residences (possibly due to all the weird behaviour and weight gain??? -my comment sorry.) / Experiencing emotional ups and downs; weeping. / Vivid, wild and sometimes violent dreams. / Memory loss; difficulty accessing words.

In addition to the aerial spraying, many of us that are awake are aware of HAARP and the grids of masts and towers that broadcast ultra low and high frequency waves through our bodies and seriously affect our moods, behaviour patterns and health right to DNA level.  These things are probably used to suppress our awakening from sleepwalking zombie nations and unsettle our souls at a vibrational level. Are they blocking (or trying to by using very advanced technology)  the photon waves or whatever cosmic waves that are incomming that will set off the chain of awakening. There is definitely something big happening. I sense the panic from those behind the scenes but is a lot of this stuff being played out more mind manipulation or are there pieces to this puzzle that are invisible to us right now?

I am personally weary of all these pied pipers and spiritual carrot wavers whether they are harmless or not. I believe that the answers are not out there and are /always were, on the inside (no not in the liver that's just old single malt whiskey) and that if our higher selves are connected with all that there is - the creator source - and we are all one, then a lot of this ascension and website updating stuff is irrelevant and unfathomable for most people. That said, it sure helps to be connected this way whilst we have knowingly forgotten our true connection. Therein lies my dilemma. I will therefore probably be getting back on to the internet tomorrow as usual, like everybody else, to see if there are any further developments in my spiritual growth.

Re: What's Up On Planet Earth

I find myself agreeing with all of the above, and yet sensing that there IS something to the ascension storyline being told via multiple sources.

Something's definitely happening, and it can't all be attributed to Dark manipulation.  I agree that Karen's list of ascension symptoms seem eerily similar to the byproducts of chemtrails, HAARP, etc.  At the same time, it certainly is possible that there are more forces at work than just the Dark side manipulations of planetary frequency. 

Just like the flood myths that abound in multiple cultures, the dragon myths that do likewise, there seems to be a coherent pattern of thought associated with "the end" of an age -- whether the Kali period in Indian literature, the Mayan calendar, the Hopi legends, the Aussie aborigines' dreamtime, Christian armageddon storyline  -- all posit the end of an age as we know it.

Time itself seems to be metamorphosing, events and outcomes increasingly less predictable. What was once deeply hidden seems increasingly revealed, the Dark side dance less fluid, increasingly jerky with crudities exposed.

It seems reasonable to posit that this world has become increasingly fractured since 2001 and some form of great enlightenment has begun to stir, which makes the whole ugly picture more easily discerned.  There definitely seems to be more "awake" folks and the games the politicos play are far more easily seen thru and threadbare.

"What's Up on Planet Earth" is certainly a good question to posit at this time.

Re: What's Up On Planet Earth

Here's is my humble view on Karen's site, for what it's worth.

Although, I do not keep up with the updates anywhere near as frequently as I read NR or check the weather; I have checked the site at particular times after I have felt what I would call another wave of incoming energy.  And each time I've done that (maybe 10x at most) she has been spot on as far as feeling the influx and updating the site.

However, she has never (for me personally) been spot on about the symptoms.

Thanks FreeSpirit, now I don't have to go look up the "symptoms".

But no, I don't see any of this when I feel these energy waves.  I feel connected.  I feel calm, joy, peace, and creative energy flow.  I feel the desire to share of myself with others.  I feel the desire to just be me and commune with existence no matter what physical box I may be in at the moment.  I feel poetic.  I feel limitless.  All these things are what these energy waves are associated with, to me.  The several times I have read her energy updates I just feel bad because it really must suck to have all this boundless energy and then be going through so much trauma on a personal level.

At the same time, I can't actually make a firm judgement.  Maybe these symptoms are part of ascension for some.  Maybe it's part of ascension for all and I'm missing the boat.  There are multiple angles to see it from and not enough information on any angle to make a firm judgement.  So I did what I've always done.  I checked for inner resonation.  I don't resonate with the symptoms so I don't read the updates anymore.

Re: What's Up On Planet Earth

I didn't wish to appear sceptical of ascension itself, more to say that I think it is more of subtle internal
before external manifestation and those are the changes I have been going through. z3n3rg describes it very well. These are incredibly positive feelings and if anything they can make you feel alive, healthier and more connected with all that is than ever before.
I take your point that these external imbalances or symptoms might be things that some must go through. maybe the clearing of negative energies or blockages.

I agree with gcg that there is more to it and these changes are definitely happening. There are certainly more enlightened people coming forward and I sense many unseen positive forces at work.
My frustration and health dose of scepticism has always been with sites - not specifically Karens's - that have a lot of sound beliefs, but also have very specific predictions that read like astrological charts and could potentially resonate with a portion of the public at all times.

I don't believe that the predictions that are being forcast right now are to be taken too literally as we are in a process of rapid acceleration where everything becomes more elastic (twisting in opposite directions at times) and is basically being manifested in the now according to how well we are dealing with the higher vibrations. I am focusing my reality on the positive but I think you have to be aware of the negative energies as they are manifesting more openly also and must be dealt with.

She has her books for sale on her site, but then again, so do I.  So does Montalk.  So do a lot of people.   Other than that, her energy alert information is free.  She has a donation button, but again...so do a lot of people.  Nothing wrong with that.   But it's not mandatory to pay to access her material, unlike other websites out there where you can tell it really is all about making a buck off of people.  And she does promote her pet charity causes, so her site isn't completely devoted to herself and getting $$ only for her.  People may want to give " 'er " money, and it's really not in anybody's place to tell people what to do.   It's one thing to vocalize a concern about the fact that she has books for sale and a donation button - you're entitled to that opinion, and others here may agree or diagree with you - but flat out telling people what to do based on what is or isn't right for you, or what you would or wouldn't do is not mature.  There are probably quite a few people who felt that they've benefitted enough from her free energy alerts that they'd like to donate something to her for her time and effort.  Everybody's going to be different.

Where I stand on the "making money on spirtuality" thing is that there's nothing wrong with charging for a book - so long as it's reasonable.  Some books are overpriced for their content and usefullness, in my opinion.  And asking for donations is perfectly fine, as people are then giving you what they feel is fair.   But then sometimes you see some websites charging for stuff that seems ludicrous, or making the entire site "pay only" for access, which is also a bit hmm   To me, anyway.  Depends on what the material is though I guess - some might be worth pay-only access, but a lot probably isn't.  It's all about fair balance, and Karen's site seems balanced in that regard.  Again, to me anyway.  And anytime you see a website host yelling and whining at their reading audience that they're not getting enough monetary donations?  More ridiculous.  I've seen that though, both a male and female website host, but I won't name any names. wink  It's immature.  Nobody's obligated to donate on a free site and if a webhost can't accept that then they shouldn't be running a free site.  So that's another thing to keep in mind when gauging the integrity of a web host who's selling spirituality.

Like I said, I don't get any bad feelings about Karen, she doesn't come across like she's trying to scam people and take advantage of their hopeful naivete.  You can tell she sincerely believes what she's writing.  Now whether it's correct and accurate is another story, but she herself seems to be sincere.

That post you quoted is from a year ago, and tenetnosce no longer seems to post here.  He probably won't even see your comment.

Re: What's Up On Planet Earth

Hi Lyra,

I have no problem with people charging for things on sites devoted to truth including spiritual truth.  And no site has to be perfect in order to charge for things or to make available a donation facility.  But i hadn't commented here earlier and i didn't know there was a "Karen" thread until you provided the link.  Had i known i might have posted my other comments here.

So i thought a little tongue in cheek comment in all it's brevity might be my sole comment and that it might say something about what i think of Karens work not about money.   I thought i might save you all a further explanation on this particular thread of all the things that i think are so wrong with Karens work.  The money is actually not one of them.  You know... penny for your thoughts?  Don't pay the penny... don't hear the thoughts.  So i am not trying to tell everyone what to with their money lyra.  It was [ i thought ] a humourous way of saying... I don't believe her.

I think you had somethings on your mind about the subject of money and sites so you missed me.
