Beloveds, we are passing through the threshold of all that we have been waiting to unfold… are you ready?? There is an election to be completed this week, the 6th Day of this Galactic Underworld of the Mayan Calendar ‘begins’ Nov.13th, we’ve made it through a global financial crisis (with whatever strains, fears, incredulity and horrors we allowed to enter our consciousness about it), and are still alive & kicking. In short, all that seemed determined to deter us from our path has not been able to do so – we have survived, we have thrived, and we are closer than ever to being the place & the people we intended, hoped at least, to be. Congratulations!

This is not to make light of (or it is, in a way, to make Light of) the damages that folks feel they have endured, the concerns they have faced and the doubts that plagued them at times the past year, the 5th Night of this cycle of Human Consciousness. Can you remember back to its inception, in January 1999? Consider for a moment all that has shifted and changed about you and your life in this short 10-year period. Remarkable, isn’t it? As the planet geared up for ‘certain crisis’ during the ‘y2k’ transition, your thoughts were likely drawn towards self-sustainability, developing communities of spiritually-minded folks, and opportunities to be creatively abundant and abundantly creative. Well, how much closer are you today to those ideals than you were then?

Its nearly unimaginable to me how far I’ve come in these ten years – I was already living in the White Mountains/rural NE Arizona, working at the local counseling center, when the y2k fuss cranked up, and I attended meetings over the range of 50 miles from my home to see what people were saying and what they felt compelled to do. Most of the talk was about food storage and junk metals, but some were beginning even then to see that being involved with one’s local community for exchange of services was a crisis good response, as it is today. However, we were slow to do more than cut extra firewood and find those who were homebound who might need to be rescued in the event of some outage of fuel services or social disaster. It was a start, but we were still pretty myopic and self-centered, discussions ran along lines of how quickly can I obtain (buy) things I might need, like a generator and extra winter clothes, and less to thoughts like ‘we don’t need these technologies anyway, let’s just let the system crash if it will and see what happens then.’

On the whole, we were very committed to maintaining the status quo then.

I’m going to suggest something very radical to you, perhaps, but not so radical if the past year or two has brought you some disaster, some loss, some death of loved ones or transformation already of your treasured lifestyle – that we become far less committed to maintaining the status quo, “things as they are,” and begin to work towards “things as they may become.” It's time for this shift, now. Time to see that large credit balances might have to come due, that desires for bigger, better & more might lead us to despair rather than satisfaction, that large new cars have to be fueled by a means not under your control, but rather under the control of entities and corporations who would rather make money – billions of dollars quarterly – off you than to provide a needed service to you.

For those who were wise enough to see what was coming down the pike in 1999-2000, and who made changes to their lifestyles accordingly, the past year or two have not been difficult at all. If you planted a garden, harvested your own food, moved to a more rural area, sold your home a year ago when prices & values were still inflated, cashed in your 401(k) and other investments to purchase real property, and used solar and wind generated power, then you got the message that was being offered a decade ago. If you did not get that message, if you wanted to experience your piece of the collective wealth pie before it was too late, it nearly is – I hope you enjoyed your experiences, because many of them are coming to a screeching halt, or already have.

It’s never too late – the Divine wants us all to succeed in our soul journey, in our collective progression. But it is time that you yourself realize that we have shifted from a wealth model of success to a sustainable lifestyle and renewable resource model of success. It’s time to harken back to the wisdom of the indigenous peoples everywhere, and live close to nature, learn to be in harmony with the land and the seasons. If we will do this, then the next 2-5 years will not batter us and wrench us from our comfortable complacency, but rather be the threshold of an era of bliss and contentment, surrounded by friends with whom we share food and good times, offering opportunities for creativity and pleasure that seem “too simple” to today’s high-tech metropolitan dwellers. But I can vouch for the fact that they feel welcome and satisfying, as one who has made such a shift in my own lifestyle.

My first book in a new series, each of which describes this fiction-today, but presumed future-reality, titled “Heaven on Earth” is now published, and newly-available from www.amazon.com and through www.lulu.com as well as any book-seller by request. Or you can write, email or call me, and while I don’t yet have credit card capability, we can work something out. It’s a wonderful way to introduce the potentials for an ascension reality to loved ones, and I hope you enjoy it!

In the meantime, allow yourself to imagine leaving behind this Industrial Age, and this Technological or Information Age, for an Age of Peace, Love & Light.

As your heart, mind and soul wrap themselves around the feel of that possibility, allow yourself to imagine where you might want to be, and with whom. I challenge each of you to plant your own food, start or maintain a garden for your favorite whole raw foods, starting in late winter with sprouting seeds. I challenge each of you to imagine your life without your cell phone, your email, your car, and your credit cards. Really, try it. And continue to try imagining this until it makes some sense to you, that it might be possible. For I tell you, friends, the time of them becoming forgotten toys, merely gadgets, is coming, and not very far off in the future will you not need any of these, because they are imitations of what you can do for yourself with your consciousness, with your intentions and thoughts, your heart & mind. Feel it… believe it… and act upon it, as truth, as real.
I love you, and trust you to find your own true place to be and to thrive. Namaste. Peace.
