As Sentience Gaia, I bid you hello. As Earth and as Celestial Body Terra I also bid you welcome. These names do not truly describe what I am, but your individual names do not encompass or surround you either, they are representations and stylizations at best. I am as physical as you are, but you are not physical. As I look upon you I see vehicles of condensed light, and as such I suggest to you that I am the same. Dense light can be called physical light, or light body. Light bodies express themselves in various densities and some of these we call physical bodies. The only real difference between you and the chair you are seated upon is your soul. The chair is made from dense atoms of light but it is not a vehicle of light; the chair does not have a soul. Your soul directs your vehicle of light and the dense atoms that form your body offer you a vehicle in which to express and transport your light to and within many dimensional experiences called lives.

As stylized light you are travelers, and the experience of a human physical body does not diminish this. The earth's dense physical body (planet) does not diminish the fact that it is also a vehicle. The earth travels the solar system with the support of the sun's magnetic pull, and as such, it is able to commune and share its (my) sentience with other celestial beings and dimensional regions of the soul. This expression of selfhood is both purposeful and animated. It is life and it sustains life.

The earth has a past, a present, a Now, and a future and so do you. One of your current understandings suggests that the past, the present and future are all moments of Now, and to a certain extent this is true because from a variety of perspectives there is no perceivable separation. On the other hand, it is observably clear that you and your neighbor are separate entities. This dimensional experience is called a qualifier, or a qualifying experience. The experience of Time in a linear or horizontal format is also a qualifying experience. But time can also be linear as well as vertical when moments and experiences are stacked one upon the next or one upon the previous one. Using this model, where is the present moment? Where is the past? Is the past lower or higher than the present in a vertical model? Is the present moment in the middle, between the past and the future, or is it on top because it is the most recent? You see, already we find ourselves in a dilemma, because the moment you introduce a new perspective into an old paradigm you create a dilemma with regard to experiential reality.

To this deceptively simple formula let us now add that all dimensions are also expressions of Now, making theories of past, present and future somewhat obsolete. Of course, we must also consider that moments are neither equal nor equally spaced. Given this understanding, how would you graph your existence or locate yourself in this current moment? Before you dismiss this subject as less than influential, consider that this is the very means by which you create not only your identity, but also your experience and your purposeful journey. Is all experience really the same? Are moments unique or are they simply variable expressions of the same moment?

The past, the present, and the future are unique and individual points of united awareness that allow conscious differential expressions called creative free will to manifest themselves as both linear and sequential time.

How do you know if you are living in your present or in your past? How do you know that you are capable of creating a future? If you can imagine or recall a time in this life, or in any life, where you are (or were) experiencing less than joy, then you are recreating your past in your present. Why? Because the present is an expanse of pure potential and the future is the well of probable potential, but the past is the plowed field of experienced potential. If in the present you are recreating your past, then you are not giving yourself or the present moment full creative credit. If you are not imagining this moment as creative and profound, then you are subject to living in the past or recreating more of the past, which is why it can be said with certainty that all moments are not equal.

But you might well argue, "That was a grand time, why would I not wish to recreate it?' Or you might say, "It is only a similar moment, not the same at all." But I remind you that you are vehicles of light traveling at the speed of light and beyond in order to encourage grander and greater experiences called lifetimes. If you are fascinated by the past then you are missing out on the fullness of the present and the creative potential of the future. Delightful as it may seem, it will become increasingly difficult to peel away the layers of density called past experience. The future will continue to call you, but after a time it may begin to sound like a distorted echo from a deep well. If you are unable to perceive your future, even your present will slow to a disturbing reality of repetition. Does this sound a bit familiar?

You may well say, "My present is barely sustainable as I arise each morning and fall to bed at night and I see nothing to look forward to in my future." If this were true, dear ones, then I would say that you are no longer traveling or accelerating to the speed of light. You currently exist (and travel) in vehicles of light. As such you must tend to them so that density does not bear down upon them too heavily. When time, speed and light all slow, molecules accumulate faster. As they begin to coalesce, less space exists between the accumulated molecules and the free-will atoms that make up your being. Space creates time and the ability to experience time as either unique or indifferent. The physical body is hardy but also delicate. It requires care in the now/present so that it will assist you in creating a future where you can move at the speed of light (a relative term) and beyond. Atoms that are no longer allowed to express a free-will state will eventually express a free-radical state, therefore, the connection between your physical health and your spiritual health are one and the same, do you see?

Movement at the speed of light can only take place when you acknowledge that you reside in and abide by a vehicle of light. The speed of light comes to you via the sun. Light exists all around you. It is absorbed by your skin as well as ingested when you eat or drink. Light creates a corridor of current within and around your body, which is further maximized by the earth's ley lines. This unique electromagnetic combination is capable of raising the quality of your individual frequency. Acting like a pheromone, it draws other quality frequencies to itself. When combined with other vibrational elements including free will and desire, it assists you in manifesting creatively rather than mundanely.

Above all else, the speed of light is a unique force that assists you in creating your future, because if you are truly moving at the speed of light you will not want to be living in the past. The linear past is always more dense then the linear present or the linear future, but the same is not necessarily true of the vertical or multidimensional past which is unique to the experience. If you are increasing your ability to hold and transmit light, you are guaranteed to be in the present and moving towards a creative future. The future beckons and invites you. It is there for your creative benefit. It is an acknowledgment of your ability to be creative in and throughout many dimensions. The biblical reference to "many mansions" alludes to this concept as well. The reverse is also true, because when you acknowledge yourself as less valuable than the present moment opportunities recede into the background where their light is less visible by you. Under these circumstances choices become fewer and creative sources of expression become less. Eventually you realize the pitfall you have walked into, but you must now create the means to walk out of the shadow and into the light again.

As dense light you are more human, more dependent upon external things, resources and people for support. Dense humanity offers the earth a less than ideal partnership. Anything that understands itself as less than equal manifests itself as dependent upon the whole. The public welfare system is a perfect example of this spiritual law. Traveling at less than the speed of light humanity creates a co-dependency upon the animal kingdom, the mineral and plant kingdom, as well as the balance of the human kingdom. This is the only current reason that marks the earth's resources as being in short supply and unable to replenish and restore themselves adequately.

Density is a very interesting subject upon which many volumes could be written. Many who are in body at this time prefer to acknowledge density rather than light because it is a physical affirmation that they are working on past concerns rather than the present or the future. Globally, humanity is increasing in density. Human structures are denser now than ever, and obesity plagues the human population. By contrast, the animal kingdom is less dense now and it is becoming increasingly difficult to fatten a cow prior to its slaughter, which is one of the reasons that unconventional means of doing so are being explored and implemented. These methods are now having severe consequences as reported by your media almost daily.

While some members of humanity overly consume resources, others under consume them and are slowly starving to death. This is also an acknowledgement of a population that is out of step with its resources, but here is an interesting fact: A starving body is likely to be denser than an obese body. Why? Because an overly weighted vehicle is an acknowledgement of a desire to remain in dense physical light, while a starving vehicle makes no physical or spiritual claim whatsoever. It has renounced its interest in the body as a vehicle of light. Without going into specific detail, it can be said that the same is true of this condition whether it is self-imposed or culturally imposed.

Are you destined to replay your past? It depends. It depends if you identify with your light or with your density. In other words, do you recognize yourself as one with the source of all things expressed as condensed light moving through third dimensional awareness and beyond, or are you just a human? If your current destiny (because there are many) is to re-experience a past life so that you can organize it within you from a different perspective, then that is what you will do. This should not be considered an inferior choice, and sometimes it is the highest and best choice that can be made, because the decisions of the past life must be experienced concurrently with the choices made in the present life. That is how old perspectives become new realities. And to be fair, the ability to experience the past and the present is as much a gift as one can hope to receive from the present and the future.

How You Create Your Future

There is a very interesting little animal that has been around for many millennia. Today you call this little animal a nautilus. Its basic shape is like that of a spiral and it is aligned with a very specific frequency. Its beauty is in the perfection of its mathematical structure and the fact that it begins its life in its center and moves outward from there. When the nautilus tires of being its own center it begins to grow. Its desire to grow causes it to increase its size. Upon increasing its size it begins to explore itself again, but from a new perspective. The new perspective allows it to see its own reflection. Light reflecting upon, within and as a reflection of itself brings awareness and now the tiny nautilus has become self-aware.

Self-awareness brings additional desires such as the desire to be in selected movement, to increase in size, design and shape, to seek and discover knowledge, and to continue to grow or evolve. Eventually, the nautilus discovers that its desires have made it vulnerable within its environment. Instinct calls upon ancient survival techniques and a protective environment that will serve as both home and vehicle are created. Divine will now moves through the tiny nautilus that has already invested itself wholly and completely in its life, and the nautilus begins to grow by creating a new chamber and closing off the previous one.

Now, why does the nautilus close off its previous chamber rather than leaving it open? Would a larger home not be worthwhile? You see, even the tiny nautilus knows that nature will always offer it an opportunity to fall back, and if it does so, it will be more difficult for it to rebuild its desire anew and gain the support of the divine will. The tendency to fall back is ever present because that is where one's comfort place is. Most often the tendency is to find an easy way in, out or through. The nautilus, however, is a very wise being and as such it builds its vehicle in recognition of its tendency, but also in response to its divine will. Understanding life as well as it does, it seals itself off from the past and invites the future. Curiously, it leaves a tiny, tiny, tiny hole in its architecture so that it can peer into its past. It can see where it has been, and remembering, it can choose where it will go.

The nautilus continues its journey of expansion, syncing its life in geometric perfection with the symphony of the spiral galaxy in which it exists. If you have been fortunate enough to see a whole or partial (lateral) view of a nautilus shell you will have noted its beauty, but its beauty is not representative of its struggle. Its beauty does not reflect the courage it took to willingly close itself off from all that has been familiar not one time, but many times. Might you look upon the tiny and ancient nautilus differently the next time you come upon one?

The nautilus is a simple consciousness, but it is wise. It rests when it needs rest, but it moves forward because it is being impulsed to do so by an instinct that is based upon desire. The nautilus does not become stuck in one of its chambers because it is overly comfortable and unwilling to advance. It forces itself out of its comfort zone and creates its future in the process - one thought and one chamber at a time. When there are no new experiences to be had in its present form, it is impulsed to grow. The new chamber is built when the current one begins to feel restricted. The nautilus has lived many lives as an exemplary species, can it be that it has made and continues to make decisions of evolutional value?

In order for humanity to continue to perpetuate its own species, it must move beyond its evolutional comfort zone. It must allow the latest chapter in the story of its evolution to conclude so that it can begin the next, and it can only begin the next chapter if it (you) creates it (the future) as new. If a new chapter does not offer itself as original, it is because the door to past experience has not been allowed to close completely. As long as there is an attraction or addiction to the past, the door will not close behind you smoothly. As long as there is an investment or a longing in the continuation of the past or the present, both will remain in the foreground. Even favorite and best read stories must eventually be put down in anticipation of a new one.

Most of humanity currently lives in the past. More than two-thirds of you depend upon past experience, past mistakes and past lives for guidance, but these cannot exist in your future unless you invite them to join you there. Do you know where you are? Are you in your body? Are you in your vehicle of light? Are you in the past, the present, or the future? Even if you know that you are aware of your inner most consciousness and in direct relationship with the choices you are making, can you be certain that you will not manifest a more creative version of your past? Can you create a future that is not your past? Why is it that the present moment did not begin exactly when the last moment ended? How is it possible that so many different beings are living so many different realities? If there are so many different realities, are there also various and many versions of the past, present and future? How is it that they did not arrive at the same mark? How is it that so many different beings can be living so many different realities? There are many unique answers to these questions, but they are not specific, because there is no specific evidence that time is sequential or linear.

How can you be in the now/present and also create your future? By choosing to be who and what you are today and inviting that purpose to unfold before you rather than behind you. Choose your light instead of someone else's. Choose your purpose instead of the one that seems pre-chosen for you. Choose your own form of spirituality instead of the one that is most en vogue. Choose the most creative reality that presents itself to you, because chances are that it is the as yet to be explored one. Accelerate your vehicle of light rather than your petroleum-based vehicle; fossil fuels belong in the past, you know. If you are not moving in sync with the speed of light see what is keeping you from doing so. If you want to manifest a future instead of another version of the past, then begin now.

Once the nautilus has created its new chamber, or future, it does not say, "Woe unto me for I will never again visit my past or know the path that I have taken." Do you know why? Because it always leaves a tiny pinpoint sized hole in its previous chamber, just in case it is tempted to look back. The nautilus does not really want to go back to its previous chamber, and in fact it is not even possible for it to do so given that it has outgrown its past. But growth does not erase the need for comfort, and creature comfort is exactly what the nautilus seeks. Humanity also seeks its comfort in the form of a comfort zone, but these, like dusty attics, also belong to the past. Most of humanity does not think it wants to re-experience the past, but it does so anyway. You don't need to replay a tune over and over again in order to recognize it or memorize it. You need only place it in your future instead of in your past. Memories need a past, but creativity thrives on future potential.

Why does a nautilus create chamber after chamber after chamber and call that growth/evolution? It does so to experience each moment as more grand than the previous one. But in order for it to do so, it must look upon the next moment or chamber with at least a certain amount of awe, otherwise there is no purpose at all and evolution will cease. The inability to do this has been one of humanity's greatest pitfalls, an unfortunate and false understanding that has been reduced to a mere "bigger and better equals more, times growth equals evolution". Humanity compares itself, judges itself and condemns itself as small rather than capable. Each time it does so, the past comes into focus again and the future seems more distant and a little blurrier. The high contrast between the past and the future leaves little room for creative visualization, making a bright future a little less likely and a dull one a little more predictable. Without the dawn of a creative thread, humanity has little to look forward to but its own density It becomes aged rather than ageless and its physical vehicle can no longer sustain the light speed that true evolution calls for. Finding itself in shadow, the nautilus simply seeks the light that is both within and without.

I invite you again to choose as the nautilus chooses. Choose the light of the moment, plus experience, times acceleration by the speed of light, equals' quantum growth/evolution. This will keep you from falling backward in time as many who are near and dear to you are doing. Surely, you have noted it by now. Do they not seem to live in the past and to move one day backwards just as you are moving one day forward? How is that possible when the calendar advances daily and the years renew themselves by increasing in number? It is possible because your beloved friends have become caught in the calendars, ensnared in their own trap and altogether unconscious. Can you spot them? They speak a language that slows rather than hastens. They wonder, "Why is everyone in such a hurry? What is the rush? What is the big matter about density, anyway?" If you fall backward into the past, you will no longer see the past, because you will have become a participant rather than an observer of the process. Participatory realities are denser than observational realities, because they are more entrenched in the third dimension.

The future now looms before you, just beyond the mists of illusion. In order to find it you must acknowledge yourself as its creator. You will not happen upon your future and your future will not happen to you. This belief will only perpetuate your living a past or a facsimile of the past in the present. Interestingly, you can drag the past into present, but you must recreate it in the future. This is because the future is so much less dense than the past. You would need to disassemble its atomic and molecular content in the past/present and then consciously reassemble it the future. Another interesting anomaly is that you can be quite unconscious in the past and the present, but you cannot unconsciously create a future. Why? Because when you create unconsciously, you only create more of the same, which is the same as the past/present - the loop versus the spiral, do you see?

This discussion is designed to unseat your beliefs about the past and your expectations about the future. The only thing separating you from a fulfilling future is the veil of illusion. Dissolve the illusion and a new dawn appears, the one that has been there all along but gone undetected. The past exists because you carry it, the present/now exists because you think that is where you are supposed to be (where you belong) and the future simply Is, for those who choose it. Physical evolution will allow you to grow as a species, but spiritual evolution will make the stars your brothers and sisters. All choices are available to all beings, regardless of appearance or past participation. It is best not to form an opinion at this time as to who is more or less evolved, or awakened, or spiritual, or intelligent. Make choices for yourself but leave room for others to join them. In other words, be an open link on the chain rather than a closed one. Place yourself in a multidimensional now, even if you cannot describe it or understand it in linear words. The language of light will guide the process if you let it. All moments are NOW moments, but some are more creative and original than others - look to these for guideposts of encouragement. Now, on to your questions, be they past, present or future!

Is the drag that we are feeling in our bodies and all around us a result of the pull to fall backward into the past or the beginning of the break needed to move forward?

The pull and drag that you feel is both individual and collective. In a sense you are dragging humanity along with you. Remember that you are multi-dimensional beings expressing your light in individual bodies. As these realities continue to expand you will eventually overlap and finally encompass all other beings who share a common thread within your world. Currently, just as you say, you are dragging about two-thirds of the earth's population behind you. Must you do so? No, not really. You don't have to drag them or carry them, but you cannot ignore them, either. Can you ignore a noisy neighbor, and if so, for how long? It is easier to create a space for them to discover what you already have. You are not responsible for those who are less aware than you, but as stewards of an evolving earth you are responsible for clearing a path that others will follow. It is up to you to make sure that the path is fertile rather than barren.

That being the case, should I make a controlled effort to do something or to offer something unique?

Oh no, dear. The more that you attempt to effort and control, the easier it becomes for you to fall backward, because effort and control both create density within atomic and molecular structures; they are the opposite of an architecture of light. Density is a bit like quick-sand, the more you struggle the more stuck you become. Diets are another form of quicksand, because you cannot truly lose density (weight) without choosing what you will do with it instead. And so, without effort make a choice, without condition and without control, choose . . . wisely, creatively and consciously.

So is it more like surrender?

No. Surrender seems like a good idea most of the time and it is quite popular within New Age communities who are more than willing to find a higher power or authority to surrender to, in fact, I can't remember when I've seen more white flags waving in the spiritual wind. The problem with surrender is that it often takes creativity along with it. Over and over again I hear it said, "I give up! I give up on so and so, what and what, and who and who!" There is no profit, gain or creative expression in surrender. Instead, choose your self, selfish, selfless, self-full and soulful selfhood. In case you haven't heard, this is the antidote to self-sabotage.

Are you saying that if we choose the known, which is choosing the past, then that's what we'll get more of, whereas, if we have the courage to choose the unknown then that's our future?

Yes, but I must also add that a vote for the unknown is not a vote for uncertainty, and many of you pause here longer than necessary for this very reason. For instance, look at how many people create solid belief patterns around prophecy. Prophecies are predictions about an as yet unexperienced past, because the creative future is still unknown. Again, the known future is the unexperienced past.

Does the Universe (or our guidance) sometimes close the doors to the past for our benefit, forcing us to move into a creative future?

The Universe will encourage you to move forward, just as it does with the young nautilus. The Universe will encourage you to open the door to your future by assisting you to grown in your present. Just like the nautilus, growth eventually leads to a tight and restricted environment, which makes it more natural for it (you) to expand into a more creative future. Do you feel tight and restricted now? Are you uncomfortable? If so, then we can assume that you are both growing and receiving assistance. It is important to note that the Universe will not box you into a corner or coax you out of it, you do that when you close your eyes and ears and pretend you are not who you are, but the Universe (Source) can and will help you to move away from the corner when you are ready to do so. If you are truly interested in prophecies and predictions, then seek those that point toward probabilities, even if they seem less certain than others, because those that purport to be rock solid . . . are, at least in terms of density. Create your future instead of finding agreeing on a common past. Look at the common phrase, "Why does history seem to repeat itself?" Again and again humanity chooses to make the same errors and fights the same battles.

Must we be willing to be uncomfortable in order to grow?

Yes, you must be willing to be uncomfortable, but that does not mean that you must struggle or suffer in every moment. Humanity has forced itself into this dilemma by using fear as a tool. The same tool it used to box itself in must now be used to pry itself free.

Does eradicating negative thought escalate us into non-rigid agendas? I used to have agendas and schedules all of the time, but now I don't even think about them and it seems like my life is more positive.

It is a push in the right direction and for you it is the right one. Each being must find a relative and accurate support system; a scaffolding and architecture of light. For some, this architecture focuses upon the body wherein it is flushed with eighty to one hundred ounces of water each day will place a great deal of concentration upon the body. I must bring into the body to promote health and well-being. Those whose concentration is also with the body remove animal products from their diet and ignore artificial ingredients or supplements as best they can. Focusing on the body is simply a way to place attention and awareness in ways that promote higher vibration or less density. Another decision that supports awareness might be to be in service to others or world service, which subtly, but powerfully relieves the dense "self" from its many burdens. These higher forms of architecture create space between dense molecules and this space can be called future potential. Support systems alleviate transformational discomfort. Each being will eventually become an enhanced human, and then a divine human; a distillation of light akin to alchemy - lead becomes gold just as density becomes light.

I have heard that there may be some cataclysmic events leading up to the beginning of the New Age of consciousness on or about 2012, and that we may have an option to go into a holding pattern somewhere within or around our bodies while these events take place. It was explained to me that this option would only be available to those of us who are more in flow or in tune with the planet. Could you comment on this?

Yes, certainly. It is utter and complete rubbish, but believe it if you like. The words are inviting and they have been planned and well-penned to appeal to you. There are many authors of words such as these and they seem very inviting, many have even been offered in my name although I cannot remember offering or endorsing them. My sentience has been with this celestial body for many millennia, and eons of time before then. If the earth (my body) shifts upon its axis, even a smidge, the result will be a cataclysm of major proportion that will reshape the face of the planet. Given this, where might you find an appropriate 'holding pattern'?

A cataclysm involves the release of well-planned, optional energies that enhance the planet's ability to sustain itself and all other life forms by recreating its structural integrity. That being one way to usher in a New Age, might there be another less drastic way as well? The earth's axis is much more than a point on which your stability as a species pivots. It is a generator, a receiver and a transmitter of specific and influential energies. The earth's axis can transmit energetic messages related to the evolution and transformation of the planet without destroying itself in the process. Change sometimes means reversal, as in reversal of polarity, but even this need not be destructive. When you change your mind about something or someone, even if it is a complete reversal, you don't have to destroy your relationship with that person or thing in order to honor the change (although this theme is still common and constant with humanity). As long as positive and negative polarities are evenly expressed, balance prevails, which is one of the reasons that raising humanity's consciousness is paramount at this time. Higher consciousness does not battle itself or others; it does not struggle to be right or to make others wrong.

The earth's axis receives and generates scalar wave pattern. Scalar energy has magnitude, but no direction. If the earth's magnetic poles are in balance then there will be no additional 'draw' of energy, do you see? When all is in balance it is the earth's crystalline core that benefits most from these energetic waves, which are then redirected and broadcast evenly in all directions. Glitches, holes, disruptions, and rifts in the earth's ley line/grid system cause a build-up or a reduction in these energies, which can result in a magnetic eruption (build-up) or a magnetic attraction such as a hurricane in the case of a deficit.

Cataclysms are not a new idea and there have been many throughout the earth's varied history. They are reversals of energy, nothing more, at least from the perspective of this celestial body. Perhaps it is more important to ask why they seem so very fascinating to humanity? Did you know that statiscally speaking and throughout time, eight out of ten predictions mention a strong possibility of an imminent cataclysm? So your ancestors were living with the same prophecies hanging over them, and in previous lives you too, were living with (or offering) these prophecies. Does this theme never grow old? Can we not offer it a comfortable retirement now complete with an appropriate pension given its years in service? If the ancient past cannot be put to rest, then the recent past does not stand a chance. Our friend the nautilus does not destroy in order to create. It does not annihilate all that it has created in order to evolve, because it is a fairly useless act, do you see? Humanity has reinvented and recreated itself many times over, it has reassigned itself to new vehicles of light and given itself new purposes and directions, why then does it believe that a cataclysm is the only solution to the problems it has created? Not so, I say.

Prophecies are like political campaigns in that they draw support from some areas and create separation elsewhere. If humanity will put momentum behind a campaign for separation it will perpetuate it. Separation carries an intense undercurrent that tugs at the balance held in check at the magnetic poles. Without too much of a stretch we can see that this belief easily links with a belief in a cataclysmal demise. There are those who say the worlds will separate and there will be two earths. Why, I wonder? Are there two versions of my brother Mars or my sister Venus? Will there also be two versions of you, or could it be that you will express yourself as many vibrations of a self-aware expanded self? Is it possible that it is density that will separate so that the dimensions will be more seamless? Currently you are mostly unaware of what transpires in the fourth dimension and beyond, but if density separates, or parts the veils, a new perspective might come into view, do you see?

Create your future, dear ones, do not accept the minimal versions that are currently being offered for you are much more grand than that. Does it truly matter if one nautilus shares its imagination of what it might be like to create a new chamber with another? I offer you a variety of perspectives from which to choose so that you will make your present and your future fluid and not concrete. If you must make a choice, then choose your self before you accept that which is offered by another, and yes, that includes this sentience, which even now expresses these thoughts of loving individuality and fruitful independence.

Do the communities within the earth respond to the same timelines and windows of opportunity as those of surface earth? Will there be more of a convergence between these dimensional realities soon? The outer earth is moving (or spiraling) in one direction, while the inner earth is moving or spiraling in an opposite direction. Meanwhile, the core of the earth is generating (radiating) energy in all directions because it exists within a double vortex (not helix). Eventually all vortices will be in complement to one another and a new celestial concert will prevail, but that time is not yet. The surface of the earth, or the outermost spiral, is currently exposed to the most amount of solar light. It is also exposed to the most polarity, because there is the greatest distance between the two poles as experienced from the surface. When the vortices move toward each other, there is a greater degree of blending and merging of energies, and when the vortices move away from one another there is less. This can be compared to the influence of other celestial bodies upon the earth and upon humanity depending upon their proximity. That is why there is more communication at certain times and between certain dimensions than others; there are points or intersections of energy that are either more or less conducive to contact. And again yes, by certain measure all beings, dimensions and densities associated with the earth are affected by the major timelines that influence evolution.

As a follow-up question, are the beings within the earth impulsing those of us upon the surface to help awaken or deepen our relationship?

To be perfectly honest dear, they are not as interested or aware of you, as you might like. There are some who find humanity interesting in the same way that you find extra-terrestrials interesting, but this is hobby-like in nature. They contact you and respond to your contact in limited measure. Most of the time it is one-way communication like that which is transmitted through radio waves or walkie-talkies. Interestingly, there are a few beings within the earth that do not believe in a surface population any more than some of the surface beings believe in inner earth races. All manner of relationships exist and they span a wide spectrum from deep devotion to those who would not have a human for a pet! It is a grand universe, isn't it?

This whole subject is very central to our human consciousness because we always seem to get very fixed, and as soon as we have an experience, we get attached to it and hold on to it until the devil we know is better than the devil we don't, and so we are always wrestling with it in one form or another. I know that for me, and I think for a lot of people, the past is a place that holds a lot of pain and yet we hang on to it. I know that for me, it's a pretty heavy pain. Is there anything you can say that might help to lubricate things that drag?

Within the human brain the past exists as a reality, and so the pain associated with the past does as well. Pain exists within density just as joy exists within light. The deeper the pain, the greater the dense gravitational field surrounding it will be. Another, less definable reality within the human brain is the ability to vision and create a joyous, albeit unknown future. When you consciously invite new experiences to join you in the present or the future, it is not a matter of mere semantics. It is not affirmation upon affirmation, or wishful thinking. It is the active power or force behind the I AM and the I WILL effortlessly engaged on your behalf. This energy, like adrenaline, is released into your energetic body at unique, specific and appropriate moments. This almost physical energy resides near the hypothalamus area of the brain. It, along with the I AM, is able to create an improved past memory, a comfortable present and a creative future. Again, humanity is more comfortable with pain and suffering than it cares to admit, so it activates, reactivates, enforces, and reinforces pain instead of looking for alternatives.

Most of humanity would rather speak to another person who knows even less than they do about their pain, than quietly, quickly and peacefully engage their true and divine source-given awareness. Say along with me now, "I choose to fully activate and engage the specific energy and fine substance within my brain that understands my desire to create a new paradigm reality. I no longer choose to live in or empower the unconscious polarized reactions of my past pain and suffering." Before doing this, make certain that you are prepared to release yourself from all that you found attractive and dramatic about the past, because once there is not fuel feeding the fire it will begin to consume itself very quickly. Many of you are addicted, not to the pain, but to the drama and the story associated with the pain. It gives you a well-crafted excuse for not living your lives fully and completely. It offers explanations and reasons for the density and debris in your lives.

Just as the nautilus forces itself from its accustomed comfort, so you must pull yourself from the abyss of your pain, at least long enough to remember (or be reminded) who you are and who accompanies you, whether it is your higher self, an angelic being, a teacher, your soul, an aspect of Source - or all of the above. This can be uncomfortable and even difficult for some. It may even uncover its own specific brand of pain, but it is the temporary short pain of birth rather than the long suffering of the deathless death. When one falls into the painful abyss of the past, one falls most of the way, taking with it almost all that it has learned or uncovered in the process. This lies fallow and dormant until it is reclaimed and recalled as one's own experience.

I would urge you and counsel you not to place this newly found awareness on the same heap with your New Year's resolutions and refrigerator magnet affirmations. If you must place it somewhere other than your heart, then place along your future timeline where you are sure to stumble upon it again. Cushion it with presence, desire, true authority, simplicity, innocence, and truth. Place your Seal of Integrity upon it and note your frequency and vibration as you do so, so that you will easily recognize it at the next opportunity. Seat yourself well within your beingness and choose the present moment as one that exists in full spectrum self-expression. Remind yourself that you have returned to this life and to this moment as an accomplished and enlightened soul, and that a future state of grace awaits your choosing it.

When we travel timelines in order to translate or transmute the past, it feels like we are moving back into Source. Is that what is actually occurring?

The timelines that you travel allow you to experience Source in a variety of ways. Source exists in the ever present Now, just as you do. Timelines, on the other hand, can be navigated with systems of thought, awareness, and cellular memory. You experience the movement and the merging with Source, but from a perspective relative to the purpose with which you have set out to accomplish. Humanity finds much more fascination in its past than Source does. Source is fascinated with the choices that you make in the present. Humanity is Source incarnate. Be as Source, then, a multiplicity of dimensional and universal awareness.

As a footnote, and because this subject has now been well covered, I will stress that as far as humanity is concerned, the past seems to be the Vacation Capital of the World, but new vistas and panoramas await your discovery and it is my sincere desire that you will immerse yourself in them. As you rediscover yourselves and reconnect with one another, the earth also discovers itself anew and takes respite in the new dawn. So leap when it is time to leap, be light when it is time to acknowledge that your vehicle is one with this same essence, and creative structure when there is purpose in doing so. Acknowledge your fallen brothers and sisters when they fall as well as when they fall asleep. Lend them a hand when you can, a flashlight when you cannot give them a hand, and a kind word when there is nothing else to be said or done on their behalf.

I offer a final acknowledgment that all words relative to this subject have been offered and received with great care. I place my gratitude into your hearts for having received my sentience as expressed through the channel [Pepper Lewis] I will look for you and receive you in individual private moments as well as public moments such as these.
