Fear tastes metallic. It is unmistakable, and like nothing else. If you’ve tasted fear, you know. If you haven’t, metal is the closest description I can come up with. The taste of fear is our body telling us it is in danger. It is a chemical reaction to a physical threat. It is an alarm, warning us that we need to do something to safeguard the body. It is an involuntary response. We are in a time of great awakening. Every day we learn of something else that we were deliberately led to believe that is completely fabricated. Those doing the telling understand that the way to keep someone controlled and obeying the rules is to keep them afraid. Institutions, governments and police forces know this. The constant barrage of “fear” that spews from our radios, televisions, computers and store monitors has just one aim - to keep us afraid. We are afraid of the flu, the snow, the heat, getting older, missing the sale, wrinkles, snoring, shingles, cancer, terrorists; the list is endless. None of these things elicit a metallic taste in your mouth. Yet, merely by virtue of their repetition and presence, we accept them as real threats. They are not and your body knows this. When you are actually threatened, you’ll know. The taste of fear will show up and alert you. These other things are intentionally broadcast to keep you preoccupied so that you don’t have time to listen to your own heart. You have to spend your time listening for the next announcement of what is it to guard against or purchase or hide from or hate. George Orwell (1984) predicted what our world is like right now, yet what he didn’t see at the time was our insatiable drive to connect. With our phones and our laptops we are forging a link that is shouting out over the fear mongers. "Speaking the Truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act." This is one of his many quotes. Alternative voices online are not interested in control. We are interested in empowering you. We know that as each one of us wakes up to truth, we are all stronger and our light glows more brilliantly. Unplug and turn within. Walk, reflect, meditate – do something creative. You will discover you are so much more than an employee, consumer, patient or citizen. You are love and when you appreciate that you will see that you are limitless. You have tasted love and it is unmistakable. This is the banquet you are here to feast on; expansion, enthusiasm, joy and creation. These things sustain you. Make them the bulk of your diet.

The single most powerful thing you can do as we approach these times, labeled “The Shift of the Ages”, or “Ascension”, or “End Times”… is to love yourself. This is the thing you’ve been distracted from. You’ve been intentionally prevented from seeing this as an important focus so that you could be manipulated. This is truth. It is difficult to swallow. We’ve believed our leaders of church and state for our entire lives. Many of them believed the rules and laws they promoted were necessary for our safety or progress. Some may have known otherwise and the few that hold the power and the purse strings over the many, definitely knew the truth. What matters now, today, in this time is that you seek and discover your own truth. You are not lesser than or beholden to anyone. You are not wrong. You are worthy. You are unique in the universe and the universe is huge! The reason you feel so bad on the inside is because you are capable of deep emotional response and you’ve internalized everything you’ve been taught. This manipulation of us has been brilliant. It’s over now. We know better. We realize we are more than we’ve been told. You don’t need to wait until a bank or government official tells you the truth behind the monetary and government systems. You intuitively know they aren’t working for you. There are many of us out there who are explaining why. Mainstream media is still controlled and not the place to find true and current reporting. Look elsewhere. The truth is that you are exceptional. You are in this time now to remember this about yourself. It is not wrong to love yourself. It is the source of your power. It’s like those power outlet covers we put around our homes when we have toddlers. They are meant to protect the children who don’t yet understand electric power and how it is used. It’s time to remove the cover on your source and plug in. Feel the strength as the power of love surges through you. Let that be the thing that enlivens you, directs you and makes your decisions. Your life is supposed to feel THIS GOOD ALL THE TIME! This love, this surge of power is your truth. You are this love. It is your very core. Let go of any reason to minimize you. Your body, mind, heart and soul are divine. This is the truth and once you actualize it in your every day, there will be no stopping you. Love yourself ridiculously. The time to do so is now. The one you have been waiting for is you. 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! So much seems to be crumbling so quickly now. Depending on your news sources, you’ve heard at varying levels the arrests, corruption and increasing controls happening in our governmental and monetary systems. For me, this is creating anxiety coupled with exhilaration. “Who can I trust?” and “We are finally free!” run through my mind simultaneously. I envision a very large room occupied by everyone I know. You are there; my friends are there, as well as my family. We each wear identical wrist and ankle chains. These chains are lengthy – we can work, travel, live and love while wearing them. We understand they are there and they attach us to the walls of this room. We ignore them. One day, one of us moves in such a way that his chains come loose. Actually, he follows the length of chain all the way to where it is hooked to the wall and discovers the truth – there is no hook! He is ecstatic! He dances around, right in front of us, saying “Look!” “Look!” “These chains are attached to nothing!” With his chains dangling from his arms and legs he jumps around in joy and we are shocked and perplexed. “He is weird”, we whisper. “Someone make him stop.” We solemnly nod our heads, wrap our chains securely around our limbs, and ignore him. Yet he doesn’t stop. He keeps dancing and shouting and one day, he is gone. We nod our heads again and say “See; now he’s done it.” We imagine the worst fate has befallen him. He doesn’t return. His closest friends begin to follow the length of their own chains. They too discover, as he did, that they are attached to nothing. They begin to dance and sing and rattle their chains. We can barely hear ourselves think! Our chains begin to feel uncomfortable. We can no longer pretend they aren’t there. Depending on who and where you are, you are someone in this story. The story we’ve been told is coming apart. This is not reason to fear, it is reason to celebrate. Embrace the change. Be prepared to respond. Fear and panic do not serve you. You will know what to do. Trust your truth. You came now to participate in this time; this mass unchaining of humanity. Listen to your heart. Do what serves you and those you love and live with. We are loosening the bonds of manipulation and the lightness we feel may be dizzying at first. Hang in there, for from here we fly. We are the ones we are waiting for. Your personality is all that you see. It is all that I see when I look at you – your sex, demeanor, height, body type, clothing – these are the markers that define you for me. Until we become friends. Then there are other categories to add to this list of you – only child, sister, single, married, artist, accountant, runner, or surfer. This is the stuff of your personality, your ego; this is the you that we know you to be. It is not all of you, but the part the world sees. It represents decisions you’ve made. If I decide to lift weights, I will look fit and muscular. If I love automobiles, mine will always be waxed and clean. If it is shoes that I love, well, you get the picture. We choose who we are in this world. Our choices are often repetitive. They become how we define ourselves. “Oh, I love the gym.” “I don’t eat meat.” “I love football.” “I am a runner.” We do what we love. Our actions support who we believe ourselves to be; in truth, who we have created ourselves to be. It is the same with our emotions. When we were children, we formed opinions about things and had feelings about them. Certain people/events felt good or these people/events felt bad. As we matured, we adjusted them according to our current beliefs. Upon reaching adulthood, our personality was ingrained. How we were in the world was pretty much set. In our Quest for Joy, we notice that happiness exists, yet it is temporary. The feelings of “no joy” show up again, and again. These are repetitive, we recognize them like old friends – although they are not friends we enjoy now. Self-defeat, loser, lonely, angry; they are emotional addictions and they can be changed. The trick is to recognize them. If you run into an old friend you no longer wish to hang with – you can say hello and then walk away. You don’t need to kill him. He still gets to exist, just not in your world. It’s the same with emotional decisions that no longer serve us. We just need to walk away. Rejection and denial won’t work, acceptance and absorption will. These are decisions you made at one time. Maybe you were 8 or 13 or 16 years old. Gently let these parts of who you’ve been fade away. They are not who you are. Like old shoes, they no longer fit. Addictions are part of our human condition. They are not wrong or bad or signs of weakness. This physical life is extremely addicting. This is how we function – we learn a response and then repeat it enough times until we no longer need to decide how to do it, we just do it. It has become such a habit we’ve come to believe that’s just the way life is. We forgot that we are defining life, not the other way around. Our life is a collection of decisions we’ve made. Relationships, jobs and emotions are all choices. It is an emotional decision to feel powerless or victimized or worthless; it is not truth. Once we recognize the choices we’ve made we can change them. There is no blame, all is choice. We’ve been raised to believe our “failings” were “weaknesses”. They are habits. They are not who we are. We are collectively waking up. You are waking up. You can see the personality, the ego self you’ve created, for who he or she is. Is she who you want to be? Is he everything you’ve dreamed of? If your answer is no, then recognize what is stopping you. See the choices you’ve made that no longer serve you and choose again, without blame. Self-hatred is not necessary. We can love ourselves now. It’s okay. We are not bad, and suffering is not necessary. Right now we can engage joy. Today we can realize our perfection. Accept all you have ever been and decide all you’d like to be. Recognize that emotion (the one that prevents joy) when it shows up, and walk away. Destruction is not necessary, just quiet determination. What is at stake is perpetual joy. What is at stake is you. Not the personality you have believed yourself to be, but you – the eternal being of love that understands your unlimited potential. You are the one you are waiting for. Feeling separate – anger, winning, victimization – all (are) ego constructs to isolate us and the trick is to know they are ego created and to run them for as long as you desire, release them, and move on. Moving on is most easily accomplished through love. Love is recognized when there is no discomfort, no hesitation about the correctness of what has occurred. It will feel right all the way through to your toes. You will know when you do it. You have no experience, yet, at running your ego. It is that space, that love, that unconditional love that will guide you. Trust yourself. The root cause of unhappiness is lack of love; lack of self-love. The way to take care of that is to take care of you. No one else can. Until you do, any other relationship will be icing on the cake. What is making up the cake called you? Are you allowing second-hand ingredients that have spoiled? What sorts of things contribute to you? You are in this dream and you cannot escape that. This is your focus. From here you move to the next dimension. What that looks like will be what that looks like. You are taking yourself there. Do you fully understand that the shift will not change who you are internally? The you that you are experiencing now is who will be there in the next dimension. A shift, a dimensional shift of an entire planet, will change the frequency within which your body exists – it will not change what is in your heart. You are here to progress through life – to come to a truth that can set you free and propel you forward. Agape. Loving who you are doesn’t mean always declaring or demanding what you want and settling for nothing less. There is no less or more; when you are fulfilled you stop expecting another to fill you up. You will never ask another to be or do something they don’t want to because the other is you. Relationships are a dance and at different times each of the partners takes the lead. Take turns giving in and you will find yourself enjoying the dance much more. You might even become a spectacular dancer. To doubt is a false idea. Your divinity is not in question. Do you doubt the Creator? The Creator loves. The Creator is love, and experiences what love is through you and me and all of life. Your existence is a perfectly manifested idea, born from a desire to experience love. Each emotion is divine; every moment a singularly perfect expression of life. They require nothing. They are and that is enough. You require nothing – you are, and that is enough. To imagine yourself needing something in order to be worthy is a falsehood. You stand without requirement; the Creator accepts you where you stand. It is time to accept yourself. Remember always that the life you breathe into the pictures you are looking at is experienced in exactly the way you expect to – it is that sense of familiarity that defines your most often utilized colors. Repetition may be familiar, but it is not always comfortable. You can choose outside the “familiar”. It may feel a bit awkward yet if the emotion serves a life you are looking to lead, it is worth having. The strength of your moments cannot be underestimated. Each defines your days. A string of positive feelings create happiness. Every time. Happiness is your choice, as is sadness or worry. The world is not ending, it is beginning. Your life begins anew with each breath and every thought. Decide the life you’d like and breathe it in. Your exhalation will support your vision. You have come now to see beyond the illusion and manipulation that has been so much a part of this dimension. There is no such thing as false hope. That is a lie, perpetuated by those who would control you and have you believe otherwise. It is time now to believe yourself. |
