Dear Friends,

What a time! I included my preliminary conversation, as it may be what some of you are also feeling at this time. Hoping you are all well.

As I sit here, I'm feeling all sorts of physical and emotional things - my body mysteriously aches, I cry a lot for no reason, I get really really angry for no reason, I can't sleep and I feel like I'm moving in slow motion. What's going on? I don't feel as connected to other people, or even the rest of the world. Is this a bad thing or is this a good thing? It all depends on your viewpoint. Has you previous life served you well? Or has it always been a case of doing too much, of feeling the lack and never feeling full? Well, I don't feel full right now - I feel like the spigot is running and running out the bottom and over the sides. I'm too full of everything right now, and empty. We ask again - is this a bad thing? Yes, it is. I'll be judgmental, I'm tired and I can't sleep and I don't feel clear. Do you know what it would take to be more clear? No, I'm totally baffled. Does it feel good to talk up? Yes, it's all right, but I sometimes think you guys have no idea of what it's like for all of us down here. We're down here in the trenches, feeling the blows and intense energies from all sides. We're looking at our friends and family getting sick and even dying, sometimes we really don't know what's going on, yet we trust and keep going, and try to love and laugh and have happy hearts, but it gets tiring, you know?

Yes, we can see that you are tired. Here are the symptoms you may be experiencing at this time as we work with your physical bodies on the clearings that continue - the ringing in the ears, the pain at the lower temples and lower neck, the ring of pain around the upper shoulders, and the girdle of pain at the lower back/pelvis area. Also look for the mysterious pains that appear and disappear just as quickly - these are energy block areas. Also, look for your legs to even become numb as you attempt to re-ground in a new way. The old energy way of grounding is no longer applicable, and many of you appear confused as to how to ground. Here is a simple grounding that can help the whole process along, but you need to take a few minutes out of your days to do this. If you are willing to commit to a few minutes, then you can accomplish this. If you can't commit to doing things in the new way, it will be extremely difficult to make the transfer over to 100% locomoting in the new. Do you understand what we are saying? You would tell us that you are doing the best that you can, going through your days, getting your work done, doing what you need to do, and it's not working, so we ask you back - what are you doing that's incorporating the new information that you have been receiving and continue receiving?

Are you using it, or just feeling it, saying "oh, there it is - isn't that interesting?" then continuing on in the old way. It's like receiving a beautiful new automobile that goes very fast and has many features. It arrives in your garage, and there it stays while you continue to walk. You can look at it and say, "wow, isn't that a beautiful car? I bet it can go really fast, that would sure make my life easier," then you walk some more, hurrying to try to get all your errands done. Wouldn't it be easier to take your car? Imagine yourself in that very situation, for real. You have never had a car, never had the means to have one, so your habit energy is to walk everywhere. You have had to limit your life to a few mile radius, knowing you couldn't possibly get everything done that you needed to, if it was further than a few miles away, because if you couldn't walk there, you couldn't go. How about the rest of the world? What about all of those possibilities? Have you ever lamented the loss of those things? Have you ever wanted more than you've already experienced? We tell you, those are the things that lie outside of your three mile radius, those are the things for which a car is required, and we tell you this secret - YOU HAVE YOUR CAR!

It's parked in your garage, but you need to stop your walking long enough to find your car, get to know your car, take it for a little ride, get used to the faster, new movement. Are you driving your car? Or still walking? To help you get more grounded in the new energy, we offer the following visualization, again, only taking a few minutes out of your busy walking day. With eyes closed, see yourself as you are right at this moment, standing in front of you. Now imagine that you are totally open, with the top of your head open, and with only the shell of you, the outline. It is much like a cast for pouring hot metal into, but it is not a square, you can still see the shape of you, and it is clear and very beautiful, like crystal. Now imagine that above you is being poured liquid gold into that empty form. See the cup tipping, see the gold pouring, see it flowing in through the top of your head, into your body. Breathe and feel it as it flows through you down to your feet. Feel it filling up your calves, your legs, into your stomach and chest, into your heart and down your arms, up through your throat and into your head until it reaches the top of your head. What does it feel like? Keep breathing and feeling the sensations in your body.

Stay in that state for as long as you wish, then, when you are ready, imagine a pair of hands pulling apart the clear cast that holds the gold. The gold has cooled, and as the hands pull the cast apart, see the beautiful shining gold beneath being released. When the cast is gone, look at what remains - it is a perfect, golden you! We tell you this is already your reality, yet you have yet to realize it, so do this practice whenever you are feeling less than golden! The liquid gold is the new energy, the cast is the physical form you have come with, the parameters and blueprints and guidelines for the new energy - if we have brown hair before, we want brown hair now! If we were tall then, we want to be tall now! These are the forms that remain, but all else is new. You say "we don't feel new - we feel tired" and we say to you, did you think this process would be easy? It can be enjoyable, such as a strenuous trip or cleaning out can be enjoyable, but make no mistake about it - it is incredible work, not to be underestimated or taken lightly. We urge you again to take special care of your physical body at this time - get as much rest as possible, reduce your work loads and just sit and breathe.

Yes, we hear you saying that this is not acceptable in your culture, and we ask you back, "who is it that said that your culture was correct in the first place?" Is it not possible to break free into your own rhythm? You are an individual, not one of many that all operate on the same level. You are each unique systems, and need to treat yourselves as such. That may feel difficult, but in the end will be a freedom much needed and longed for. Imagine a whole race of you thinking intelligently and independently, each according to his or her own higher conscience? We tell you your whole world would be transformed in a moment if this were the truth. So it is in your power to be that truth right now - you can ask yourself the following questions: what am I doing right now to express my unique individuality? What am I doing right now to take care of myself? What changes can I make in my life to make it more joyful and peaceful? If you are sincere in the asking and answering of these questions, we tell you again that this will take you very far in this next step of integrating and assimilating the new.

Although you have been feeling the new energy for many months, there has been a major influx of the energies, much like the filling of a balloon, then the tying off of the balloon to allow it to float, to do what it was meant to do. You all used to be a pile of balloons lying on the floor - you were all together, talking, interacting, but unable to move very much. Then Spirit came and started filling you, enlarging your consciousness and potential - could you not feel the expansion in your chest, in your head, in your dreams? Then came the time that Spirit finished with this leg of the journey, so with one great breath, breathed the full potential into your being, and closed off the entrance so you would not leak that energy (that is a good thing), and gently let you go up into the air so you could start your new journey across the plains. Isn't the view magnificent? Aren't there new things that you are seeing and feeling, now that you are aloft? There is a sadness that you are not all together on the earth, just lying there, but is this not a better journey? Does your heart not sing with the lightness of your being?

We see you all floating, so beautiful and full and new, and we think "this is amazing," for none of us knew what the next steps will be like, we are all new to it, just as you are. But we tell you, there is no separation between you and us, we are all the same, connected here in the heavens, our souls are connected. That is why many more of you are feeling us around you, hearing us, seeing us. The altitude has changed, the views have changed, there is so much more. It is no longer a three mile radius, of that you can be sure. Your life is no longer limited, but wide open. Have you explored? Do you believe? Do you trust? These new few months until the flowers begin to grow will be the acclimating time, the learning time, the final shuffling off of the old and claiming of the new into your lives. Watch the old as it leaves and understand that it no longer fits your reality, watch the new come into your life, bright and colorful and beautiful and perfect, just for you. Do you know what you want? Do you know what you are calling into your life? This is a good time to think on that, you have the time.

When you enter the time of the summering, you will have increasing clarity, but we urge you not to be too discouraged if it feels as if things in your life are not progressing in the way that you expect them to - if you feel you can't control aspects of your life. It is as if they are on auto pilot, and are moving to where they need to go. Trust that if you are able. Have things worked out well in the past, maybe even in spite of your controls? This would be a good time to relax, or frustrations could come if you are trying to be in control. This is still a shakedown time, an acclimation time, where things still don't feel very real. Time is skewed - sometimes dragging endlessly, sometimes folding hours into a few moments. This is part of the shakedown, not to worry. What else? We urge you one last time to close your eyes and look within for your truth - there are many truths out there, but there is only one true truth for you, and that is found within you. You are all infinitely wise, infinitely loving and perfect - know that to be true. And we remain, as always, ever faithfully by your sides -
