Dear Mother Earth,

A few short years ago I remember thinking that nothing new was happening, everything just seemed to be status quo or at best a recycled version of the 'same old thing'. Nothing made sense and no information was forthcoming. Now there is a staggering amount of news and information coming our way everyday from more sources than I can name on both the inner and outer planes of awareness, but I am confused and wish I could make sense of what is going on. Can you add your own voice to this subject?

It is true that there is much afoot at this time and there is more to come, of that you can be sure. Making sense of it all may be more difficult because so much of what is happening is senseless. Then again, that is the point. If life as it is currently being lived is senseless, what choices can or must be made in order for that to change? Who will make these choices? When things don't make sense it is time to create new possibilities. 'Things' do not make choices, people do.

Currently, less than one percent of the population of earth is consciously making choices or consciously aware that they are able to do so. Seventy-eight percent of the choices being made by this one percent of the population are senseless, that is to say, the thought and the action that follows the thought cancel one another out. A fear based thought is non-productive and a thought based solely upon personal reward or recognition can no longer sustain itself for more than a few minutes, a few days or a few months. That is one of the reasons the economy of this country is riding a roller-coaster of monumental proportion.

Now for the good news. Although it is true that fewer than one percent of the population is participating at a conscious level, that one percent is producing both conscious thought and original thought. Original thought involves forward thinking. Forward thinking is the basis of pure creativity. Creativity becomes possible when one sees oneself as an integral part of the Whole; able to become the Whole, appear to stand apart from it, and to exist beyond it. Creativity allows multi-dimensionality and vice-versa, it is a free flowing energy which can easily travel and either direction.This is how new forms of art are born into cultures and civilizations and this is also the nature of true healing. When original thought is charged with creativity (action) it is born; it exists.

If you find yourself reading these words it is safe to assume that you are at least beginning to experience original thought. Some of you may already be experimenting with it. It is a bit like sending a telegram to yourself and then receiving it as if for the first time. It may evoke feelings that in your time and place are similar to what you call, Deja vous, that is because even though your thoughts may be original, you are not. You are timeless beings and as such there are aspects of you that have done it all and been it all. The difference is that this time you will do it consciously while in physical body upon a physical planet. This requires a certain amount of preparation, coordination and practice and this is this very thing that you have grown tired of and indeed, it is the same old thing.

The information (unrest) which is put forth today is designed to awaken even the most profound sleeper. Your daily news reports are packed with information which is disconcerting to say the least. Little that is notable or positive is offered by any media and even the world's greatest teachers appear to have little new to say. Your information storage devices are able to hold and transmit more data than ever thought possible, yet what is the point if it simply generates and replays information and does not cause you to reflect on possible solutions to the problems at hand? Where will the solutions come from? Who will they come from? From you? Indeed, yes, from you!

Welcome to the new paradigm, dear ones. It is here. It is now. That it has not yet defined itself is to your credit. It is unsullied and unmuddied even in these times. A new paradigm is an original thought created and expressed in a greater context. It is an original thought of the universe. A new paradigm exists first as a possibility which is offered to you. Your free will dictates whether or not you will embrace what is offered. In the case of a new paradigm, the choice must be a collective one. Why it that? If your free will as individuals dictates your ability to create your own original thoughts and ideas, why must this decision be made by all? Because as was said earlier, you are a part of the whole as well as the Whole. If you omit others from this choice or leave them behind, you also leave yourself behind, or at least aspects of yourself you would want to have with you. One of the reasons that has prevented you from leaping into the new paradigm is the desire to bring all of you along, including the aspects that still exist as fragments. This is why so many integrational healing programs have been offered to you by various means. They are tools designed to assist you in accomplishing your task more quickly. Some of the programs which have been put forth have certainly been more effective than others but the intent has been the same across the board. New paradigm energy has been available since the early part of the last century (late 1920's) yet few took advantage of it then. The consensus at the time was that you were not worthy of the evolutionary leap; not yet ready to embrace the fullness of your true identity. How much has changed in the last 100 years or so in this regard? Are you ready today?

As you say, there is much information available to you today from which to choose. Both the inner and the outer planes of awareness are full to bursting with the next day's serving of the same. For this reason I hesitate to add my own voice to this subject but will do so to honor your request and to bring clarity wherever possible. The key to best receiving what is put forth by all sources of information is to look and see whether that piece of information will assist you in becoming whole or complete. If it will not, it is best to leave it for another who may be in greater need of that piece than you. Until now, discernment has been the key. In other words, if the information received had relative merit and you could confirm its authenticity, it became a valid reference point for you; something you could have and hold and pass on to others. Most of you have already grown beyond that and discernment happens almost automatically. You are able to quickly validate the source and then integrate what is offered.

Wholeness is achieved through choice, not through integration. You will never integrate enough of yourselves to feel complete on the physical plane because you are simply too vast though it is difficult for you to perceive that from this perspective. You can, however, choose to be (rather than become) whole upon the physical plane or on any other plane of existence. A choice is yours to make, it requires no integration. For instance, a choice to go for a walk requires no integration, but reading a report on the relative merits or potential disasters of that walk does. A choice to embrace a new thought or new paradigm does not require integration, but filtering through vast amounts of information regarding the new paradigm does.

Today, there are more opportunities put before you than ever before, but most of these cancel one another out before you can even evaluate their merit. You are then left with the task of attempting to integrate what is left, the information. You then plan and decide what you will do the next time an opportunity comes around while you ponder what you did to push this one away, do you see? If this pattern were to continue there would be little or no reward for your effort because the net result would still be still zero. Are you being tricked, or worse yet duped into believing that your choice matters and your vote counts? No, that is not the case at all and your recent presidential election results will confirm these words. Your vote counts and the actions which result from the choices you make matter, as long as they are made in your own truth and not another's.

Truth is something you choose. It does not exist until you choose it. Choosing defines it and gives it life. The statement, "the truth shall set you free," has been around for a very long time, but the words have been altered. The original words read, "Your truth will set you free." Truth is relative, it is static not constant. Tonight's newscast that offers you the truth about tomorrow's weather is not often accurate because it is static or relative. It exists as a potential (static) truth; a possibility. Your feelings are also static rather than constant though they are no less true. If you do not choose your own truth another may attempt to do so for you because a truth like an opportunity or a paradigm is like a vote that is still up for grabs, do you see?

If discernment is no longer required and integration is obsolete what will you do? Perhaps it is time to create an original thought based upon your original blueprint, which in its simplicity states that you are made in the image of God and as such enjoy all of the rights and privileges that this universe has to offer. The only things currently preventing you from these rights and privileges are outmoded concepts and beliefs that have been handed down to you from other people and other times. These beliefs were based upon patterns of fear. They were not valid then and are not valid today. These same concepts and beliefs are now being reprocessed, recycled, repackaged and represented to you as new information designed to make your life better and you a better human being. You cannot be a better human being because you are already the best. That having been said, the degree of resistance that you experience as you repeat these very words aloud while looking into a mirror is the degree of separation that still keeps you from embracing this truth. This same degree of separation also represents the aspects of you that are still missing or being carried for you by others.

Though it does seem to be election time, many campaigns are currently in progress and your vote is more important than you now believe. If enough misinformation is put forth, your vote will only serve to cancel out another. A canceled vote equals critical mass minus one, two canceled votes equals critical mass (Earth Ascension) minus two and so on, do you see? The example set for by this country's last election has awakened the sleeping giant. The sleeping giant of fairly tale lore was representative of the unawakened masses, it was a message put forth in a parable but it is no less true today than it was then.

Misinformation is not the same as propaganda. Misinformation is like a magician's sleight of hand trick. The information is still there, but it has been momentarily misdirected while you were distracted. How many times and in how many ways were you distracted today? Were you able to return to the task at hand easily? Did you have the same clarity and vision when your returned to the task or was it altered in some way? Propaganda is misinformation with an attached agenda. While misinformation seeks to misdirect your vote, propaganda seeks to cast your vote for you, and seemingly on your behalf.

Where does misinformation come from? It comes from everywhere. It comes from your government, your environment, your family, your loved ones and it comes from you. It is a byproduct of the Information Age and long after this age has come and gone it will be remembered for these very characteristics. What happens when a valuable commodity attainable by all but not immediately available to all suddenly finds itself sold at wholesale prices to a market which has been flooded with product? Would not the value of this commodity decrease? This is what has happened to your sovereignty and your ability to choose what will make you whole. Original thought was long ago substituted for information, and lots of it. Now you are up to your elbows in information and many of you have high speed passes to access even more of it faster so there will be little or no delay in having it reach you, but misdirection has caused you to concern yourself with assimilating information rather than embracing the simplicity of your own truth. Truth may be complex, but it is not complicated or convoluted though too much information may make it appear so.

Here then, in simple words is yet more information which I now direct from my heart to yours. You were an original thought of Creator as was I. You have always been perfect, you did not "fall" though you have stumbled from time to time in your inventiveness. You were never and are not now held accountable for misdeeds for there have been none. You are a joy to behold and a fascination to those who are different from you, as I am a fascination to other heavenly bodies and beings of light from far away. Though there is no apparent popularity contest in progress we appear to have won one just the same, based upon the level of interest currently focused upon the Earth at this time.

The new paradigm stands ready to welcome you. You vote, which represents free will and sovereignty must be an original one untarnished by the influence or coercion of others. Participate in the Information Age to the degree that it assists you in finding your own truth, your own unique voice. Allow the rest to pass beyond your awareness. Long ago, when our communication first began you appeared to me as small children who had just received a gift of a boxed jigsaw puzzle with the goal being your own image, complete and whole. There were so many pieces to this puzzle that I wondered and marveled at your ability to assemble it. Today, the picture is nearly complete and quite beautiful though no two are alike. Most of you are now only searching for one or two more pieces, but they are important ones. Take a moment now to look and see which piece(s) may be missing. Is it the pieces that resembles your eyes so that your inner and outer vision will be complete? Is it the piece that pictures your mouth whole, beautiful and complete so that your voice will finally speak its truth?

Pieces of information are like puzzle pieces. If you already have the one you need, the rest are of no use to you and if the one you have found does not fit regardless of how many times you have attempted to make it fit, then it is simply not yours. Your piece is most likely hiding in plain sight and will make itself known to you shortly. Here is a hint: Instruction manuals generally have little value and discount coupons often expire sooner than you think. With gladness in my heart and humor in my voice I vow to assist you today and always. Call upon me if I may do so.
