You are living in times that none that you know of have experienced. There is no place you can go to “look up” what happens next, no one program to guarantee the most successful ascension. There are no rules or cheat sheets or 12 step programs. Ascension is self determined. It has been initiated with your intent and will be undergone by you, in your own unique way. As seeds undergo the same molecular changes to become trees, yet ultimately look very different – so are you. This progression is universal – we as a collective are experiencing it at once while you as an individual are determining how it goes for you. We are doing this together while you are doing this alone. It reminds me of a dance audition. There is a room full of dancers and they are all given the same instructions. So in a very visible way they are all taking the same steps at the same time. Yet they do not look the same at all. Some are confident, some timid, some graceful and some self-conscious. Some are ahead, some behind and others right on time. Depending on your perspective, you’ll see either one dance performed by the group or twenty different dancers, dancing their own way. This is not an audition for a part, the part is yours. In a very tangible way you can feel yourself dancing even though you may not be sure what music you are hearing or what the right steps are. I feel the music changing tempo. I hear my dance partners saying “I don’t know what’s going on.” “You can’t believe anything anymore.” “You can’t count on anyone.” I see the energetic shifts around me; even my cat is more nuts than usual. The dance has begun. So, we are dancing together and right now it’s sort of uncoordinated. I’ve never done the “Ascension Dance” before but I’ve done others. In order to not be the “worst in my row” I had to relax, remember I signed up for this, have fun and stay focused. Laughter helped. This Ascension Dance is the same. We’ll be happier dancers if we stay loose and stay focused. We are the dancers who are doing this one. No need to question whether or not you are good enough or you’ll remember the steps. You are and you will. It’s time to stop searching for the next dance teacher or step by step video presentation. It’s time to think about how you are dancing. It is a creative act, the ultimate creative act. No one can tell you which steps to take and when to take them – you have to choose and you do so by paying attention to how you feel and how it’s going. Once you are self-aware, each step will be taken with confidence. This is a performance entirely choreographed by you. You know your strengths, preferences and dreams. There is no one who is better prepared. It is time now to do those things we’ve been taught are wasting time. It is time to listen to your heart speak. It does, yet we silence it with lists and shoulds and rules and activity. We’ve learned well and it may be a challenge to unlearn these habits of pre-occupation, but it is necessary. This is not a call to cease all action; it is a call to take only intentional steps. Feel this dance, understand how the music sounds to you and proceed accordingly. There are many distractions and there will be more. None of them are on the dance floor with you. It’s your dance. It requires your attention. Remain focused and when you seem to be dancing out of the rhythm of your own heart – stop, breathe, release the moment and find again your heartbeat. It is there always, guiding you and keeping time, your time. You are loved beyond your wildest imaginings and there are so many of us eagerly watching this performance. There is a word for us; we are giving it new meaning this year. It is Ascender: a person or thing that ascends. We can call ourselves “The Ascenders”: the ones who ascended. We are writing the definition right now. It is a word pregnant with possibilities, of which you are one. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for!

This is an extremely personal process, yet you are not alone. This time of massive adjustment varies not only amongst us, but within us. We are each feeling it at different intensities and in different places. March is a month that has its own reputation; “Comes in like a lion, goes out like a lamb” and “Beware the Ides of March” (Shakespeare) give us indications of the massive physical changes predicted. This year is no exception. A lot is happening. Either there is deep sleep (and often), or no sleep or restless sleep. Our sleep patterns are “off”. Much happens while the body rests. The part of us that is eternal is free to move about and right now we are spending some very intense time somewhere else. This is an inner shift and whether you meditate or not, consider yourself spiritual or religious or conscious, you are working on things internally. If you don’t focus on it in our waking moments, you’ll do so in your sleep. This cannot be avoided now. The energies flooding this field are being felt by all of us. We will each label them with our own definition, and that is how it should be. There is no one way to do this shift. This is an inner transformation and as we watch it unfold around us in the news we feel it in our bodies and our hearts. Just yesterday I had at least a dozen different people tell me about problems with sleep or health or focus or something else. It seemed to me as if they were asking – “What’s happening to me?” What’s happening is we are changing and deciding and morphing. We are doing this while changing diapers, going to work, cooking dinner and making love. Life is not going to stop and allow this to happen, we are choosing and changing right now. Every thought and decision and recognition and emotion is a choice. This is an inner shift. No one is going to decide for you. You are deciding what it means and what you believe. Your focus is deciding all of that right now. Your mom, your family, your friends are each making their own choices. Ascension is not for sissies. We are here by choice and we were chosen. This is something you can do. You decided before you got here. I don’t know the outcome of your process, but you do. You see it right now. It is whatever you expect. This is what you’ll have. Your parents, friends and family will each experience what they expect. It can be no other way. Take care to honor your body, your needs for specific food and drink and rest and movement. I am finding radical shifts in what I am physically comfortable eating. I am seeking foods that are more “alive”. Not because of a raw diet, because it is the food I hunger for when I am hungry. There are so many differences lately, I have decided to stop labeling them and just go with them. Each day is something new, something else, something to adjust to. I may be sleepy or groggy or ravenous or stiff or excited or elated or dizzy or happy or sad – seemingly without cause. It’s all okay. I know it will all change again and ultimately I will be and have exactly what I expect and believe. Expect vitality. Feel joy. Express gratitude. Laugh. Hang on because we are only at the beginning of this ride. It is going to be a ride worth remembering. So don’t try to explain or define it. Webster has no words yet. Just be it. Enjoy it and allow every experience to run its course. It’s all part of the package and you’ll want to remember it all one day. You are brave, bold and beautiful. This thrill ride suits you, that’s why you’re on it! We are all counting on you to show us how it’s done. We couldn’t do it without you. Your part is vital. You are the one we were waiting for! There is a chemical drive that keeps us repeating behavior patterns over and over. It is every much an addiction, as powerful as heroin. We are each stuck in our own personality “hamster wheels”, not necessarily because we are enjoying the way they spin, but because we can’t seem to step off gracefully and stay off. Something else eventually happens to catch us, and we find ourselves spinning once more, not by conscious choice, but by habit. These habits of personality are brought on by physical need; they are dictated by our addictions. Your body craves the chemical fix that a specific reaction gives you. For me, it is “sad”. It could be “low self esteem”, “lonely”, “weak”, “angry” or “powerless”. The chemical cocktail works, regardless of specifics. This is how you have habitually reacted to life. The hypothalamus is the organ that uses these chemicals to go on. This is how you have become “wired”. This is not you – not who you are. It is the current version of your personality, your ego-self. Your ego is the voice of your addictions. In my case, the chemical drive is so compelling as to render all options other than “sad”, inaccessible. It is not that other options don’t exist, they do, but I literally don’t see them when I am in the midst of a “sad” fix. “Sad” works every time, I know that it will give me the fix I so desperately want. I recognize it as a validation of who I am, it feels familiar and as the “sad” drug emotionally courses through my entire body, I sort of relax. What I have come to understand is that the validation of me does not have to come from that feeling of familiarity I get when overcome with “sad”. It is just that I have so many cells looking for “sad” and so few looking for or expecting “happy”. With that realization I experience empowerment. I can decide to choose again. This life as human was chosen in order to experience a very physical existence that thrives on very addictive chemicals in order to sustain the body. Your body is looking for a fix. You, who want to be here, co-operate and create the scenarios that support the necessary addiction in order to keep you here in a very real sense. Without a need in this physical world you would cease to be. This would be a complete absence of attachment to the body. Yet you are here now, with a purpose. There is a reason why you are here, and you want to stay, feel you need to stay and intend to stay. You are here to evolve and evolution is very much linked to this concept of linear time. In order to evolve, you must come from somewhere and head somewhere else. The oak tree has all its necessary component parts as a seed – yet it has not yet realized itself as a magnificent oak. As a seed, it is tiny and unassuming. With time and the proper conditions it grows into a huge oak, realizing its full potential. This happens here, on the physical plane, on this earth. You understand time because it is a core principle of this earth, in this third “dimension”. We are told that time is the “fourth dimension” and no longer exists beyond that. So, if the “evolution” of you takes “time” and experience, and you move your focus into a “dimension” that does not recognize “time” (5th and beyond), by definition you will know yourself as an evolved being. You do not now know yourself as an evolved being because you have not moved beyond the concept of “time”. It is not that you are not an evolved being, in the same way the oak seed is not the same “stuff” as the oak tree. It is that, here, in this “dimension” which depends on linear time, you have not yet gotten there. You are an evolved being. Once you understand that, as such, you exist in a body that requires certain chemicals to function, and that you are creating those chemical combinations with your addictions, you will have more command over which chemicals serve you here. There is no good or bad, there is only choice. Waking up is a process of consciously choosing your addictions rather than being unaware and feeling powerless. It takes tenacity and determination and love to awaken. These are all traits of an evolved being such as you. Love and unimaginable power exist at your deepest core. This is the truth of you. You are the one you are waiting for. You are uncertain what all this talk of ascension and fifth dimension actually means. Is it going to be another day, like any other? Or, are things actually going to change? Regardless of what you believe, on December 21, 2012 you will awaken, just like you did today, February 21, 2012. This much you can be pretty confident is true. Ascension does not mean death – it means move; move up, rise up, movement. Dimension is a word that refers to a measurement. It is a word our scientists came up with to define our everyday perception. The fourth dimension is supposed to be time. First dimension is a point. Length and width define the second dimension. Adding height brings us into the third dimension. What is the fifth dimension? We only have guesses, but for sure it is one more than the fourth. What that means has been theorized, predicted and promised but until we create it, it is not yet true for us. This life you are living is one you have imagined. It is here because you believe it is here. What you expect is what you have. In ten months that will still be the case. You will wake up that December morning to whatever it is you expect. You are building that life right now. Your hopes, dreams, plans and feeling are setting the stage. Dream of a better world, hope for peace, intend health, feel prosperous. These are habits to cultivate. They will yield a life of joy. It is all here for you. This population is seven billion strong. With a unified thought we can expect ourselves into whatever that thought is. Focus on what it is you’d like to live. Your focus becomes your everyday. None of these laws of creation will be changing this year. Our awareness of them fuels our power however. Together we can intentionally manifest happiness. With single minded determination you are able to create the fantastic. The world is changing around us - not independent of us, but because of us. We are waking up. The fraudulent monetary systems are crumbling, the entire education system is being questioned and our government is no longer trusted. We are seeing the truth and taking things into our own hands. Consciousness is possible in every aspect of life. It only takes practice. Awake and aware – carry out your days. Your life will proceed accordingly. Let’s expect love - love of self, love of others, joy in our work, fulfillment of purpose, vitality in our step. Let’s visualize clean air and water for us all. Let’s remove war from our plans and see only peaceful conflict resolution. It can’t hurt to see any of this. You can imagine in animation if that works for you. When the opposition shows up and tries to convince you things are otherwise, just call up your favorite visual and hold that for a moment. Hope for a better future is fine and wonderful yet what will create that future is action. See the future you desire. See it every day. Once you do, who knows where your vision will lead? Your life will follow course and action will ensue. It will have no choice but to manifest as you believe. That is that way it works. We will put the definition for ascension and fifth dimension into our dictionaries. We will define December 21, 2012. We are defining it right now. We are the ones we are waiting for. The course of your evolution is determined by your tenacity, intention and choice – not by dimension. What is a dimension anyway? It’s a number - with a “D” next to it. It is a name for the field in which you reside. It is where you are focused and are currently “hanging out”. You, and the earth on which you sit, are in 3D. You know this. It is a label our scientists have given to what surrounds us; what can be seen with the naked eye. These same scientists know there is more – that life exists beyond what is available to our eyes right now. They calibrate with instruments and determine that there is more, much more. There are other places to be. These places exist as possibilities, alternate “realities”. It has been foretold that we as a race are headed to one of these other places. Together with our beloved earth, we are about to change the set on which we play. All sorts of wonders await us in this new dimension. Since actual reports are few, we are left to imagine the incredible. And then, we wait. Here’s the thing, we don’t have to. We are the ones who’ve created all of this life in 3D – it will be us who creates the next life in 4D, 5D and beyond. It is us. It has always been us and it is us right now. To wait for someone to show up in a spaceship or within a cloud is perhaps a massive misunderstanding of what is going on here. We have to, and in fact are right now, doing this ourselves. There may be others, and many of us have heard from them, but none of them plans to swoop in and magically heal us, stop the wars and the manipulation and save the planet. It is up to us. The transformation of this world is sort of like the transformation of us individually – it takes action and intent. Persistence and planning are both necessary...together. Not to reject and replace what is here, but to incorporate a new vision into what we have right now, lovingly and with resolve. The magic is us. It has been this way always. We are hooked on this wonderful notion that either God or the Galactics are going to change everything while we sit back and observe. Nothing could be further from the truth. You, me and all of us are going to do this. It is time to step things up a bit - to accept responsibility for this “ascension to amazing”. See it now. Hold the vision always. Choose something you feel capable of and start there. It could be anything – your shoes, your room, your car, your love life. Visualize it as you would imagine it’ll be in the next dimension. Are your shoes shiny? Is your room clean and really cool? How about your car? Are you loved absolutely? See these things and believe in their possibility. Do not hope that they are true – believe that they are true – and then set about making them so. When an alternate thought enters your mind, lovingly let it go. Remind yourself that you don’t do that any longer – your shoes are always shiny now and you are surrounded in love. Then, and here is maybe the most important part, gently hug yourself and walk away – in your shiny shoes, get in your clean car and drive to your beautiful room where your love is waiting. This is you in the next dimension, this is you NOW. YOU are the only thing you can be absolutely certain you’ll be taking with you on this shift. Take the best, most powerful you there is. Utilize the tools you have right now and create the life, the world, you imagine. Do whatever you can; shine your shoes, paint your room, visualize your smiling face, love yourself. I suspect the wonders that await us are beyond my imagination currently. I believe we are the force propelling this shift and until we accept and use our power to do so, progress is halted. It isn’t up to anyone else. It is up to you. Start small, start big, but start. Not because you hate your life but because you love it and you see the possibilities. You are on the edge of amazing. It is time to step off. You are the one you are waiting for. You are on a journey to miraculous. This is not happening TO you, but is created BY you. Your tree will produce fruit when it is watered generously with love. Each moment exists as a unique fragment of time in a world that is changing so completely as to one day be unrecognizable. There are some traditions you may hold, but you may find that holding on to things just because they've been done before won't happen as often. The security and sense of permanence will come, not from a repeated act every year, but from the heart. Love is not in the gift or the tradition, it is in the heart and is felt there always, regardless of who shows up on which day. Love is not WHAT you think, it is EVERYTHING you think and more - this change you are going through feels overwhelming because it is affecting every piece of this dream. Before it is over, you will have examined, uprooted and altered in some way every part of the life you are living inside of. Jealousy, annoyance, fear, exhaustion - all are functions of the body and of your emotional self (ego) whose only purpose is to keep you solidly, perfectly, HERE in this third dimension. They are tools you've used for your entire life and they have served their purpose. It is time to let them go.
Listen to your body when it tells you it needs rest or what it needs in the way of sustenance, but don't listen to your emotions. They are reactions, or better said, creations of your ego self so that you can remain in a a very dense 3D physical form. Our oneness realized, we become the force of 7 billion suns. 7 billion suns! Not separated by the void as individual flames, but one force magnified to the 7 billionth exponent.
Now that is power. That is what we are. WE ARE THAT FORCE. You are here to remember who you are. This is not a state to be attained while meditating on a mountaintop. It is an awareness to be realized while changing diapers and pumping fuel. The life you have chosen is one of absolute glory - to recognize the beauty in the mundane and see the sacred in the ordinary is a gift beyond measure. It guarantees your cup will always be full.
