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! In order for your dreams to occur – your dreams must become a singular focus. This life has existed within polarity for so very long, the navigation of thought out of that focus will require some decided effort. Consistency is the call. Belief and intent are the process. As a people we are moving out of polarity and into unity. This process seemingly divides our thinking, yet what is occurring is a “culling”. Unity does not mean we will all look, dress and act the same. Unity is a realization of our Godhood; an acceptance and utilization of the One Thought from which we spring; an understanding of the power we hold as a collective. It is Unity as opposed to Division. We are stepping out of a consciousness that accepts and operates with “more”, “better than”, and “deserving” and into equality. We not only agree that we should all have running water and health care, but we will accept nothing else. We not only understand that war is a self destructive policy, but we will refuse to participate. We will come up with alternative, collaborative solutions. Our entire existence has been operating as if the truth was “us” against “them” and “right” as opposed to “wrong”. No longer. We are moving into us. As we progress, the changes felt in this physical plane will be experienced physically. We will become more aware of and sensitive to fluctuations in energy. We will honor, respond to and speak of “something in the air”. We will discontinue the separation of our body’s reactions from what is occurring in our minds and hearts. Oneness is happening on a global and microscopic scale, simultaneously. The OWS (Occupy Wall Street) Movement was perhaps the initially blatant example of worldwide unification and it won’t be the last. As bank executives from numerous countries resign on a daily basis, we can feel the shift. We are doing this, and the preponderance of hope and belief in our own ability, is the fuel beneath the flame. We are realizing our own power. There is no reason to fear what may appear threatening or foreign. We are in control and our path to a unified, mutually beneficial future is assured. The ball is rolling, it is picking up speed, and we are on our way. Announcements of disruptions and change in leadership and method are par for this course we’ve chosen. Panic and fear will not serve us. What will assist this transition will be an open heart and an acceptance of different. We are together stepping into a new consciousness. We are creating a new world. Doing so with love in our hearts will quickly propel us into the life we’ve only dreamed was possible. If we understand that change is on the horizon, we can more comfortably appreciate the view. Things may not appear the same around us, yet within us we have not lost anything. We are love. We are divine masters and we have chosen and were chosen to be here to facilitate this shift. We are only now beginning to realize our individual and collective power. Focus and unyielding attention to the end result are our tools. See the world you desire, and retain that view as the backdrop to all of your activities. You are love and the greatness of your truth peeks out when you are sure of yourself, loving, generous, kind and expansive. Negative propaganda and temporary conditions of hardship are no longer effective on one such as you. You are beyond manipulation. Your light has illuminated the path we are on. We are the ones we have been 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. 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. 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. This is a dynamic and fluctuating dance we are in. The times now are moving quickly and changing on a dime. Upheaval is inevitable. In order to see the new we have to stop looking at the old, and we are having trouble changing our viewpoint. That is true in every part of our lives. Hanging on to “what is” only creates more of it. If you would like to continue anything that is occurring for you, then dwell on it. Speak and think of it as often as possible and it will continue to be. There are habits of emotion that we become addicted to, even when it is clear they do not serve us. What is important here is realizing the long range effects of what we are saying and doing and thinking and feeling. Spending a few hours in fear, creates. Spending a few hours in love, creates. The choice is always ours. Everything we see is subjectively understood and felt. Everything. A rainy day means a much different thing to a farmer than a wedding planner. Passion at either end of the spectrum is a powerful force – it is the driving element in the events of your life. Attempt to sustain your power and positive focus. What do you see? What do you want? What do you expect? This is what will manifest. If your answers waver, then so will you’re your life. Life is created, it does not just happen. YOU put it there for yourself to experience. You are creating it all. There is always hope. In a world continuously created, all possibilities exist. The chance remains for any one event to occur. What will decide for you the “truth” of your life is only what you believe is happening. There is no truth separate from you. The “truth” you see is self-determined. It is that way for each of us. Believe only what serves you. We’ve been battered by a vision of less than; less than perfect, less than abundant, less than sovereign, less than joyful. This has taken its toll and we are tired. It does not have to any longer. You, right now, can love your life. You are a decision away from bliss. Love the possibility in each moment and see it all as opportunity. Whether you see yourself as scientific or artistic, we are all intrinsically creative. This day in front of you is going to look exactly as you see it - as YOU see it. There is no one else looking out of your eyes or feeling what is in your heart. It’s only you. It’s all you. The life you breathe into the space you occupy is experienced just the way you expect to. Expect bliss. When you think about this life you are participating in, you habitually compartmentalize it. You remember your “past”, deal with your “present” and plan for your “future”. This is part of the separation illusion that has been so prevalent in our collective consciousness. If you separate yourself now from whom you once were and from who you will be tomorrow, you can assign blame and regret. Both are necessary if we are to feel bad about ourselves. Right now, point at yesterday. Can you see it? Do you hear it? Where is that person who ticked you off? How about last week? Last month? Last year? They do not exist. All that you have is right now. You can bring yesterday into today with thought only. You cannot conjure up yesterday. It no longer exists for you. You may have heard “your point of power is in the present”. The spectrum of possibility for you – for your happiness, goals, health and vitality is right now. And right now. And right now. And right now. All that was done has been done; period. There is no need to analyze it or dissect every nuance or word. What that does is dredge it up, internally, into this moment now. Does it help you in this moment? Does it serve you to remember? Can you feel it when you remember? Yes, we all can. If it feels bad, your body reacts in a specific way – with heat or discomfort. Is that a helpful sensation right now? I suggest it is not. Let it go. You cannot do anything about your past. It is done. You can, however, do something about your present. Today you can create what you want with intention. Think, say and do what serves you NOW. It doesn’t matter what you did yesterday. It matters what you do right now. What do you want? Dreams of our future are helpful as they supply us with goals to reach for. As you define who you are, the picture of you will gradually be painted. It is not a stamped out, pre-formed shape that you are. No, you are a masterpiece – painted lovingly, gradually, seamlessly and intentionally by a master craftsman. The artist is you. Think about art. When you look at an exquisite piece, do you say “Well yeah, its okay now, but you should have seen what it looked like at first – you could barely tell what it was, the colors were horrendous and there was this giant blotch right in the center of it. That blotch was all you could see whenever you looked at it.” No, you marvel at the fine detail and perfect placement of each element. You appreciate real beauty. You are happy for the opportunity to enjoy it now, today. You are a masterpiece. Not a finished work hanging in a museum; a living, evolving, morphing being of indescribable beauty. You are not static and will never be finished. You are always in the process of becoming. And what is it that you are becoming? You are becoming MORE. More of what you are – divinity in human form. You do not need to examine your last brush strokes, you need to concentrate on the brush you are holding in your hands right now, choose a color and continue painting your masterpiece – today. Love is truth. It is your most powerful force. It is the purity of love that creates this force. So much of our world is dense and stimulating and absorbing, yet none of it can compare to truth. Truth is what you are. It is the part of you that remains constant, regardless of what goes on around you. This is what you hang on to in these coming days and weeks and months. Hang on to truth. You are eternity. You are not an age or a gender or a job or a name. You have always been. The changes in this life you are living now will continue to happen. How they feel will be determined by your deepest held beliefs about what they all mean. A belief in truth will sustain you through what is happening now and what is about to manifest next. Understand that you hold the “keys to the kingdom”, and you always have. Perhaps now, more than ever before, your use of those keys is evident for you. Your belief about what everything means creates the meaning of everything. It is not the other way around. Clearly declare your deepest held belief. It does not have to be the same as mine. It won’t be. It is yours. You are intending your life. We, as a collective, are intending our collective experience. What this means is that what we all expect to happen, will. If we expect catastrophe and chaos, we will experience that. If we expect expansion and evolution and love beyond description, we will have that. It sounds sort of ridiculous to say, but the language does not offer enough words to depict the power you hold. You are the most powerful force in creation. You are driving. You can imagine yourself being taken for a ride, but you are holding the wheel and your foot is on the gas pedal. It is all you. Take the power that you have and determine your life with awareness. You are here to do just that. This shift is upon us and the time is now. You are the one you are waiting for. I love you. Thank you for being here! In Lak’ech. “For storms shall rage and oceans roar When Gabriel stands on sea and shore, And he blows his wondrous horn.” Ursula Southeil (c. 1488–1561) aka Mother Shipton Here is just one of the supposed prophecies of the signal for the “end of times”. There are others, many misquoted and none conclusive. A little research into the manuscripts and you will find that several angels were supposed to blow their horns, not just Gabriel. There are more inconsistencies. None of that will halt our collective belief however, in some sort of ruckus this year. It comes as no surprise then that “strange sounds” seem to be emanating from the planet itself. They are. You Tube videos are showing up consistently from these first weeks of 2012 from all over the earth. Costa Rica, Canada, Texas, NYC… every continent has reported them. When you hear them, they sound sort of hollow, metallic and huge. It is difficult to locate the source of these sounds; above or below the surface. The planet is shifting. As we have never done this before, the sounds that are produced while it is happening are unfamiliar to us. A change in frequency will emit some sort of sound; this makes sense to me. The shift is happening now and just maybe, those writers of the ancient texts and prophecies went through something like this before. They knew what would happen. They used the words and images available to them at the time of their writings. Just maybe. I would like to consider an idea. It is that we are all shifting right now; this planet and everyone on her. This has been prophesied; as planets do this. Beliefs that spring up around events are our interpretations; the events themselves occur independently of any belief system. The focus on who is saying what thing that may or may not have happened needs to stop. Something is happening, and it’s happening now. This is not a reason to fear. It is reason to celebrate. This is why you came. This is the greatest show on earth, and you have a front row seat! Get excited about the change, because whether you are or not, you are witnessing it. The earth and her people are moving out of a very dense and fear filled existence into something better. I don’t know what it looks like because we will all be deciding that together. WE ARE DECIDING THAT RIGHT NOW. If you took part in the visualization this past weekend for a beautiful new earth, you experienced some of what it will be like when we realize our love and the power in our unity. The love was just blasting forth during that meditation/visualization!!! We did that; hundreds of us. I can’t wait until there are billions of us doing that. What a beautiful earth it will be. Let’s lose the fear and anguish about the future and embrace this change. It can only get better, because that is our deepest wish. In Lak’ech. ~Sophia |
