2006

What will be will be, but only if what is, Is. By design, a look at the future must always include a comparison to the present, for how else would we recognize it as the future? The future does not and cannot exist unless the present invites it, and with so many disappointed with their present environments and situations, what can be said of the future? Where do you predictions about the future come from, do you know? They come you, from the collective consciousness. Given this premise, what differentiates the future from the present or the past? Desire, Intent, Creativity, and Purpose. What else? Time. Linear Time, Dimensional Time, and Intentional Time. Into which of these categories do prophecies and predictions belong? To all and to none, depending upon where consciousness directs them, if at all.

The future cannot be completely experienced while one is still in the present, but the future is; it exists. To explain further, the more static the present is the more static the future is, making it difficult to predict with any measure of certainty what it will be like when it arrives. How does one interpret the future, then? By following the timelines associated with various trends and events to see how they respond to energy. For instance, let’s say Being #1 is upset about something and knows that Being #2 will also be upset with the news. Being #1 could easily travel slightly into the future to see this future experience for him, because there would be energy lit up around the event or the person. This basic idea can be applied to all future events; one need only follow the energy.

Is it really that simple? Almost, but not quite. It is very important that one remain an observer of both light and energy without becoming interested or attached to it, for to do so is to influence the future and more than likely one’s own participation in it, do you see? Using our same example, Being#1 is upset about something and knows that Being #2 will also be upset with the news. Being #1 travels slightly into the future and upon seeing how upset Being #2 will become decides to alter the time, place or circumstance in which he will deliver the news, thereby altering the future as it would have been. Were his motives honorable? Yes. Was the future altered? Yes. This is not a matter of right or wrong, nor does it matter what one’s motives are, but visions of the future must be approached without bias so that undue stress is not introduced into the equation. If, for instance, a glance at the future were to show a build-up of energy near an earthquake prone area, the introduction of worry or fear might catalyze an event that may or may manifest, do you see?

A prophecy and its maker are one. A prophecy and its believer are two. A prophecy and its experience are three. With each progressive sum the laws of probability become exponentially greater, therefore, a prediction that is consistently reinforced has a greater probability of occurring than one that is ignored or disregarded. The Law of Attraction is a universal one and applies to all things without prejudice or preference. As always, we approach this subject matter with great care, acknowledging the power of the individual and the All That Is in all things, for to be careless in such things is to be careless with life, the most precious aspect and All There Is. With this understanding, let us have a look at tomorrow through the eyes of today.

That Which Already Is

You are not the same being you were last year. You are different now. Your thoughts are different, your desires are different, and so are your experiences. Why? Because your reason for being is to Be. Being is not an idle activity. To be is to plan, expect, intend, suppose, and become. It is what Creator calls radiance. Being requires presence, and in the third dimension this translates into form, which in turn draws upon certain qualities and attributes. These often include identity, nature and value. Beingness is what you are. Human Beingness is what you do. This distinction is an important one, because if you over-identify with your human (doing) nature you may miss some of the finer beings and energies that already are or will soon be among you.

The funny thing about predictions is that one is often in such a hurry to see what is around the next band of energy that one can overlook what has already moved from the future into the present, which is often times just as wonderful and exciting as what is yet to be. These beings find it rather unusual that while many within the human kingdom long for such contact, that which passes before them also seems to pass through them! Who are these beings? For the most part they are from you’re near future. You long to know what is right with the future so that you might be at peace with the present. They desire a first-hand look at the past (your present) so that they might experience what choices you made. They can be of assistance, but they must be invited to do so in order to honor the laws of non-interference.

They are few in number and for the most part simply observe. For now. To say that they are from your near future is not altogether accurate. They are from the future that is, but is not yet. In other words, based upon your present experience there is a most probable future, and it is here that they began their journey working their way slowly backward until they found themselves here. Why here? Because this is where Cause is, which is to say that they came from Effect. It is not where they are from, but it is where they came from.

In other communications we have spoken of beings called Travelers. Travelers are like interdimensional detectives, seeking anomalies within energy signatures and events that could have ‘zigged’ rather than ‘zagged’ for lack of other words. Some of you who now read these words have had similar adventures and journeys and may even feel a note of nostalgic envy. Travelers always begin their journeys near the end, or effect, but not at the absolute end for what would be the fun in that? It is a bit like skipping ahead to the end of a beloved book in order to see that all will eventually work out, as it should. Often, it is not the last page that is most value, but the ones leading up to the last, do you see?

Travelers are fairly ordinary in appearance, almost too much so, and it is within their purpose to stand out. They are, however, a bit more translucent of skin, and more clear-eyed than most. They do not alter or disguise their appearance in any way, and would not for instance, wear eyeglasses if they did not require them. They simply adjust their energy and their appearance to their environment, and with the earth as heavily populated as it is at present they easily blend in. They are fair and honest in what they say and do, and while they will not reveal themselves completely, neither will they lie to escape a moment’s interrogation. A recent dialogue between a present-day earth human and a Traveler is recounted for you here to give you an example of what you might experience in such circumstances yourself.

Q: Do you live nearby? A: No, I’m not from around here.

Q. Do you plan to settle down here? A. I don’t think so. I don’t think I’ve found where I belong yet. Q. Join the club.

Q. What kind of work do you do? A. I’m a scientist by trade, but I’m currently on sabbatical. Q. Is that a fancy way to say you got laid-off your job? A. Not exactly, but I felt I just had to take this trip. Q. I know that one, too.

Q. Where will you go next? A. I think I’ll stay here for a while. I’m hoping something will really stand out.

Q. Do you have someone special waiting for you at home? A. Yes, but they know what I’m like when I’m traveling and what to expect. There’s no rush. Q. I wish it were like that for me!

Q. Want to talk some more over a cup of coffee or a beer? A. Thank you just the same, but I haven’t been too hungry or thirsty lately. Q. Wish that were my problem!

Q. Any chance I’ll see you again? A. Probably not. I enjoyed meeting you, though. Q. Yeah, I feel the same. Good Luck.

This dialogue reflects why it is difficult to tell a Traveler apart from an ordinary citizen. Might the same also be true of other near-human beings that might be in your present-day midst? The future is now, in a matter of speaking. It is where you create your future that counts. This Traveler’s future happens to be in your past, and in your own backyard, too! Would you like to meet a Traveler and have a first-hand experience of your own? Let your thoughts about what such beings might look like or act like blur. Do not assign them a race or a mannerism. Expect them to be friendly and polite. Some look a little like tourists, but without that ‘lost’ quality that seems to make so many standout both here and upon other worlds, too. Expect that they will seem less displeased with the quality of your present-time experience than you do. They will be in less of a hurry than you. They may or may not be aware of the latest players on the world stage. More than likely, they will not be concerned with the outcome of the war or with the economy or with the current rise in identity-theft. They will not pretend to be so for your sake; neither will they minimize your own concerns. On the contrary, they will be very interested in what you think and feel and know. They will speak with you respectfully and hold you in high esteem, because they know who you really are. They may read your thoughts, but they will not interfere with them. Above all, they cam be trusted with the truth or with your version of it.

Travelers are by no means the only near-human beings sharing your daily experience, there are many others as well. A human body is a vehicle, it is not who or what you are. The same goes for these beings. Dressed in their human bodies they will seem very attractive, because their nature is less dense than your own. They do not hide from you, but their purpose is their own. They are not among you as a display of things or beings to come. Some make there home in humble monasteries so as not to stand out. In such cases their hosts are aware of their true identity. In such a guise it is much simpler to be a traveler and of service to others as well. There will be many opportunities for you to have contact with such beings if it is your desire to do so. Those who are among you today are the predecessors of others who will come from further in your future. Each time something or someone from the future merges with your present it alters both. The future accelerates the present and opens the door to the future a little wider. Remember that the future is an equal opportunity employer; it is the field of all possibilities. It is important therefore, that from this field the highest and best probabilities are selected to pass through its threshold.

Children of a Greater God

If it becomes easier to recognize a visitor from another reality and to have an interaction with them, it would also stand to reason that it would be easier to understand the needs and desires of the new children. Alas, would that that was the case! Such will be the lament of parents, siblings, and other family members for some time to come. But these beings are not children although they are child-like by nature. They are Piscean-Aquarian hybrids, having been born at an intersecting juncture in time, a cross between two different genetic constituents. As hybrids, new children are part of the human sub-species and not the species itself. They are a new and improved you.

The term hybrid is sometimes used to describe that which consists of two or more elements not ordinarily combined with one another, but associated with the same original. Another term worth noting is hybrid vigor or heterosis, the increased growth, disease resistance, and fertility often seen in hybrid species. This term accurately describes some of the attributes that can already be ascribed to the new children. They are (or will soon be) highly resilient to the onslaught of viruses that are all too common during such end and crossover times. Their antibodies would seem artificial to you, as they are the synthesis of two different antigens. An antigen is a protein-like substance that rests on the surface of a cell or a bacterium that stimulates the production of an antibody. A hybrid antigen can detect and repair a cell that has been attacked before a normal human antigen could even detect an abnormal cell. New children are and will be more resistant to cancers, viruses, and other diseases. Can you see why off-planet beings have gone so far as to interfere with your reality? In some cases, the need was (and is) very great.

A hybrid child is a thing of beauty to behold. It is Indigo, Crystalline, Violet-Ray, and Pre-Cognitive Atlantean in nature, and there are many more hybrids yet to come. The modern Olympiad is widely known for receiving each country’s best representatives to commune, compete and to set and best new records. The youth and vitality embodied by these athletes is inspiring to all who share in their feats. Great moments of victory bring celebrations while overwhelming defeats bring moments of sadness. Activity is everywhere at once as batons are passed and kings and queens are deposed in favor of new heroes. Ending/Beginning times are inspiring and intriguing for the same reason. Each kingdom, species and element comes forward to offer its best and it’s worst, that each might be recognized, healed and reorganized.

The New children will choose heroes from amongst themselves, ignoring the voices of young and old, parent and teacher. It is not that they will think themselves better, just different. Their minds are already arranged differently, and the processes that govern the brain’s ability to reason are vastly different than that of their ancestral parentage. Their response to a question may come from their left-brain or their right or both at once for they are able to distinguish between them. More’s the pity that they have no real teachers for even in this they come to choose them from among themselves. Truth be told, it will be another generation or so before they are recognized and understood for who and what they are.

What is so special about the new children? They are your future. If you would like to see what you might be like in your next earth life look into their eyes. They are an advanced version of you, and you will be an advanced version of them. They have more self-esteem than you do, every one of them is an entrepreneur, they know the meaning of true friendship and they can heal themselves (but they will allow you to try). They conceptualize more quickly and expand beyond the reasoning mind all too easily. They are not interested in history or the mechanics of language. They accord respect when respect is accorded them and they are masters at recognizing deceit. New children have purposes that are more specifically defined than your own. This is because they are more conscious at birth than most of were. They are not more fortunate than you, and it would be a misconception to believe this. You also could have been born this year or next. The choice you made was unique, individual and purposeful.

Long ago and even yesterday humanity said, “Let the next generation inherit the earth and its woes”. To these words some added suffixes to effect of “and good riddance”, while others murmured, “and may God forgive us”. So be it. These are the inheritors of the earth and you will see that they waste no time in recognizing this. If they look upon their elders with a disdain or disbelief from time to time, is not understandable? They will do their utmost to be responsible, and with your assistance they will grow into fine young men and women of the future. Assist them by seeing the wisdom that is already there. Do not fail to recognize that they do or will soon have solutions your generation did not conceive of. Do not berate or pity yourselves as your purpose was and is different than theirs. Do not expect them to follow tradition, they will create their own.

The new children belong to the Rainbow Tribes of long ago. The races of humanity that seeded the continents long ago were of different color. Their pigment received and reflected available light. They were guided to live in balance with their environments and each succeeded and failed in their own way. The expansive migration in evidence today between races and cultures, creeds and religions is an acknowledgement that the great separation is over. The rainbow becomes as one again; all colors become as one light. The Rainbow Tribes, having nearly completed their task to rebalance the races in the Piscean era, now set about a new task, the raising of the octaves by redirecting the frequencies of the Aquarian Age. This task requires flexibility, variety, and the release of the boundary markers of the mind that are associated with present-day generations.

New children are hybrids, but of who and of what origin? Genetically, they are both your ancestors and your descendants. They carry the best that the universe has to offer at this time. After what you term the ascension, a transmutation of dimensions, consciousness will expand by another league or so and the universe will add another complement to its future generations. After this, physical and spiritual growth will seem to slow for a time. This is not altogether the case, but after a great acceleration it will seem so. Although you cannot remember it now, there was a time when as very young beings of light you relished the idea of your physicalness and danced before gossamer-like mirrors in delight of your appearance. Such times will return when the physical and the nonphysical are once again in balance. End your wars and maim no more and the process will be quickened.

The Medicine Makers

Are you healthier this year than you were last year? If yes, is your wellness due to advancements that can be attributed to the medical community or to changes and choices you made on your own? If no, what choices did you make or could you have made that would have contributed to your wellness? Although the question reflects the past its answer points the way to the future. Another appropriate question might be, where do you hold your truth regarding your personal health and wellness? In your body’s elemental awareness? In your genetic heredity? In your family’s medicine cabinet?

Your health, wellness and physical longevity are associated with your understanding of what, not who you are. In other words, your identity is not your wellness or vice-versa. Your personality has been given an artificial idea of what wellness is and your body has been diligently trying to live up to that. For instance, it is normal for the body to age gracefully and for it to age more rapidly when it is under stress. The greatest cause of stress is attempting to live a life other than your own or the one you are meant to live. If you are less interested in your wellness because you are overly interested in the choices, decisions and situations of a family member, friend, employer or government, you are under stress and your wellness is out of balance. The same is true if you believe that the medical community and its pharmaceutical subsidiaries are the key to your longevity.

You are the key to your wellness and the future you long to experience depends upon your ability to participate in it. Your healthy cells are not ‘under attack’ by saboteur cells hoping to catch you unawares. The awareness within which cells and molecules travel through the body depends upon your own awareness. Your elemental (organic-earth-based-awareness) body belongs to earth. Your consciousness belongs within All That Is. The combination of these two brings a Heaven in Earth quality to that which you are. Your body is a vehicle for your consciousness, one that supports your purpose even when you think it doesn’t. Your body is perfect even when you think its not. The more imperfect you believe your body to be, the more imperfect it becomes. This is true regardless of what you ingest or subscribe to. You are your body’s owner and it responds only to what you offer it. Another’s key does not open nor power your automobile, neither does another’s truth give your body more wellness - unless you accept it and make it your own. The health and longevity of your body depends upon the truth you live, not the truth you talk about living or are convinced to believe. A belief system is not a truth. A belief system is a set of instructions the mind follows, and it is not always based upon reason or fact.

As we have now established the rightful owner of your body and your being, perhaps we can count upon you to remember this as so-called ‘miracle’ drugs flood the marketplace beginning this year. Do miracles require two page disclosures and warnings? A miracle is an event that appears to be contrary to the laws of nature. Sometimes regarded as Acts of God, these events are known to be amazing, extraordinary and unexpected. Why then, would science need to hide behind God, as it were? True science is an aspect of nature, it is not artificial and neither are you.

The problem with natural science is that it has been corrupted by artificial science. The same is true of natural medicine although to a lesser extent. But why? As was said in the last segment, end times bring the best and the worst to the surface and by necessity every kingdom, element, species and subject is affected or at least, acted upon. As you have already perhaps noted, the animal kingdom with its avian companions are now highly featured. The avian flu is the animal kingdom’s response to ignorance and intolerable living environments. The wellness of not one, but an entire species is in question, and because all truly are One, even at the experiential level; this species will share its pain with others. To be more specific, the animal kingdom is not wishing difficult moments upon humanity. To the contrary, it desires awareness and wellness for all concerned. It is awareness above all, that will heal all things and all beings, but before awareness arrives less than viable solutions will be introduced, including vaccines and other measures that will instill fear rather than peace.

Fear quickens the metabolism, but slows the response time to wellness because it freezes the very systems that are most needed. Fear invites the mind’s participation with sometimes disastrous and artificial results. The rush to quell a possible pandemic by artificial means when natural means exist may trigger a response from the other kingdoms with a less than desirable effect upon humanity. This is one of many possibilities, but the proximity of it makes it well worth noting. A vaccine to counter the effects of the virus is already available. It is being tested, stored and hoarded even as these words find their way onto the page. Their effectiveness is only relative as this virus and others that will follow are known for their ability to mutate and disguise themselves as something else. The vaccines have side effects of their own and their artificial quality makes it difficult for them to identify which cells to target. Other vaccines of a second generation will soon be introduced as well. It may be suggested that these are coupled with ordinary seasonal flu vaccines, but the body will not react well to this.

The key to this and other affectations of nature is not to hold yourself apart from it. Respond from a natural place within instead of a reactionary place without. You have no natural enemies, therefore, if any present themselves they must be unnatural or artificial. But if nature were out of balance, wouldn’t its response be also? Not necessarily, because that which began as natural retains the wisdom to return to that state, but that which was created artificially does not, because it can only emulate that which is natural, it cannot become that which it is not, do you see?

It is time to discover and to strengthen your natural systems of health beginning with the immune system and continuing on to others. To begin with hydrate yourselves with water and natural juices, particularly those that contain high doses of vitamin C. If the juice is natural rather than reconstituted the sugar will be converted to usable energy. The importance of vitamin C at this time cannot be over-stated nor taken in excessive quantities. This vitamin, above all others, can recognize foreign (artificial) intruders and escort them safely and gently out of the body. It can also help the body to function more effectively and optimally even during stress.

Vitamin B is also an excellent choice for strengthening the body’s ability to respond to unnatural events. This intuitive vitamin understands your individual needs and will adjust itself as necessary. It can help regulate and balance the body’s polarity system as well as the maintenance of the body’s left and right hemispheres. It bridges the gaps that exist between mind and body, making consciousness more accessible. Other vitamins are well worth exploring as well. Ask your body which one and how much and it will tell you. The best choices are the most natural as the goal is the return to natural health and wellness; therefore, if these vitamins can be consumed in their original states so much the better. To underscore, the endorsement here does not favor the vitamin producing industry, but the longevity of your consciousness that yet has much to accomplish!

The medicine makers are hard at work influencing the decisions you make about your health because you have been told that you need what they offer. You must think for yourself whether or not this is true. Soon they will introduce next season’s agenda and if your will is more human than divine you will heed their suggestions and ignore your own. It is important to note that many of the new introductions will indeed improve certain systems and offer a semblance of wellness, but many will do so at the peril of other systems or organs. That is why there are so many disclaimers. Do you know, for instance, where your spleen is and what it does? Your spleen belongs to the vascular system. It is a ductless organ located in the upper abdomen. It assists in the restoration of healthy red blood cells by separating and removing those that have completed their purpose. In doing so it spares the lymphocytes, important cells that support the immune system by producing antibodies that reject cancerous cells and other foreign tissue. In this way, the blood supply remains whole and intact. Many artificial medicines bypass the spleen, weakening it and rendering it susceptible to that which it is sworn to defend. We could next speak of the liver, but perhaps enough pages have already been dedicated to this subject. It’s all in the small print, as they say.

This season’s line-up will include new contraceptives for men and women, advances in blood pressure medication, and new anti-stress hormones for women. Among these will be included one that will purport to bypass the onset of menses as well as the body’s natural biological response called menopause. New obesity medication that also regulates the heart will seem a godsend at first, as will other “life-extension” miracles. Convenience drugs such as those that induce the body to perspire less will be an online order away from a fast home delivery. With the proper release forms physicians will be further removed from the process and you will be able to deal directly with the pharmaceutical industry via your computer. A few short years from now computers will transmit and confirm your relative health, making physicals a thing of the past. Convenience surgeries will also be on the rise and the line of demarcation between want and need will be harder to distinguish.

Where does all of this leave the natural food, cosmetic and herb market? What of the naturopaths, and those who have bravely set themselves apart from the allopathic community by joining the new science of complementary medicine? In good stead, it gives pleasure to announce! Like all cravings, the desires of the body must also be satisfied. Those who ignore their bodies do so at their peril, but those who heed the elemental language of the body will benefit greatly. The middle path, straight through the center is always the easiest to follow for less shadow falls here. In this example, the body’s primary meridian is most able to respond to light, or Source. Source, recognizing Itself in all of its forms, responds first to that which is most conscious, patiently waiting for the rest to see itself as a reflection of the whole. The elemental body will draw to itself that which is a reflection of Itself, in this case, that which is most natural.

A word of caution must of necessity be included here. Not all alternative therapies are natural or beneficial to the body, not every practitioner is a healer, and every new modality is not heaven-sent. Draw wisdom from your own truth and you will recognize the next step in your own healing process, if indeed it is necessary. There are many different body and soul types upon the earth now, each requiring a balance of its own as well as the means to achieve it. Listen for an energetic match before embarking on any new endeavor, literally so. If you feel a resonance within your outer experience will echo it, and if you experience a sympathetic tonal quality without, your inner experience will endorse it. The Aquarian age, even in its infancy, carries its own signature. In your near future almost all healing will be accomplished with sound and frequency. Already there are such techniques to draw upon, but they yet require fine-tuning, if you will pardon the pun on words.

The Estrangement of War

The world begins to tire of war, but no so much as to call on its officials to put an end to it. There are politics to war whose philosophy involves a winner take all pageant, replete with parades and heroes and flags. Currently, there are only good guys and bad guys on a chessboard-like playing field where loss of human life is little more than a casualty of speech on the evening news. Wars are the reenactments of the battles that rage in the minds of men. Such battles can have no real conclusion, as they were never real to begin with. An act of war is not an action for or against violence; it is a reaction to the instability of human thought and the polarity that exists when reason does not.

If the war in Iraq could end tomorrow another war would begin before the moon’s shadow had passed over the earth again, because those who direct the will of men would desire it so. War is neither an end nor a means toward an end, it is but a continuation of the exploits of minds that are not free to create. Wars begin when unconscious thoughts attack themselves, thereby creating an enemy. Were they not on the same side less than a moment ago? Can one thought truly be the enemy of another? No, no more than one people or one country can. Countries do not go to war but they follow their leaders there. Soldiers do not go to war but they follow the orders of their captains and generals. Who goes to war, then? Thoughts and beliefs do, everything else follows.

At any given time half the world is in light and half the world is in darkness. Minds are a lot like that, too. As long as the dark, or unconscious aspect of the mind fears rejoining its wholeness there will be war. Wars do not happen, they are chosen. Each one is selected from a variety of available choices and evaluated in much the same way that a corporation would consider a new acquisition. Decisions about war begin in plush boardrooms over lavish lunches and warm handshakes. There are no enemies here, only strategies designed to fill coffers and bank accounts. It has always been thus, for war and government are synonymous with monarchies and oligarchies.

The famous and the infamous alike have at times associated with personages who may have appeared no different than a common stable hand, but whose true assigns rule even the infrastructure of society. Those whom you see as personages of interest are little more than puppets, and even their puppeteers have masters of their own. If you wish to know who the real war mongers are you will have to look high and low, literally so. You will have to look underground and in the skies and even to other worlds, for where did war begin if not there? The earth was always intended as a library, but a public library does not screen its applicants and so became a battlefield in the making.

The wars have not been many; they have been one. One thought, upon attacking another, began a war. That war landed here on earth a very long time ago and continues to this day. This war did not belong to humanity, but the war needed more soldiers and this is where they were found. Children make poor soldiers but orphans make better ones, so your consciousness was disabled until your memories failed you. Without parents, gods and generals often do, and in this respect humanity inherited both. Pacifist beings cannot be made to fight, you might say. It is true, but they can be taught to defend, and that is exactly what unfolded. What father would not defend its child? What soldier would not defend the land upon which his mother raised him? Under such beliefs and contrary to the original nature of man wars have raged, with no apparent end in sight. Is it so? Is there really no end to the vile and the violent that all but rule the planet? Based upon third dimensional linear time there is no end forecast for the rulers and the ruled because they are as one, two sides of the same coin. No? Even those who tire of this war would vote for the next with the proper inducement. Still no? If one country were to lay claim to the world’s supply of oil, or drinking water, or food, would the others stand idle? The third dimension is one of polarity and its purpose is to explore opposites be they in the domain of the mind or its battlefield.

As said earlier the world tires of war but most of its leaders do not. Still, the few that do will make their decisions public thereby assigning themselves a minor, albeit pivotal place in history. History is rarely accurate because those who scribe it are subject to editors, and like the gentry who commission portraits; they only wish to see themselves in the best possible light. That being said, the pivot will be thus: The leaders who abstain from voting for further war(s) and refrain from making their obligatory contributions will be forced into the limelight by those who continue to do so. It will be said of them that they are supporters of terrorism and insurgency and they will be called to account for this. But a true insurgent is not a terrorist. An insurgent is someone who rebels against false leadership, policy and authority. This distinction will be a quiet one at first, but it will become louder when it begins to apply to the home front as well as to faraway shores. Those who plot the course of war are careful to steer it elsewhere, for it is one thing to receive news of the death of a loved one and another thing altogether to witness it.

The change in the political climate will be a subtle one, but it will be a blow struck on behalf of mankind. Its effect will hasten the plans of those whose agenda would have been deliberate and well timed to hurry a new agenda to market. Without a sophisticated publicity campaign to accompany it, the under-lying purpose will be thin enough to see, even by the legally blind. If a leader cannot gain control of its subjects, then his general cannot command his troops for the chain will have been broken. Then will the quickening be available to those who would receive it and as the tides retreat, they will take with them what the last tide left behind. Such a turning point is fraught with many perils and will come at a cost to humanity, but it will be considered a prize worth having when history is committed to memory and not to books.

Shall we be more specific? Must we? The war in Iraq has no end and has no victor. The war on terrorism also has no end because its enemy is its maker. The fact that the emperor has no clothes seems to remain a secret even when he appears before all of his subjects. Because of this, he is well armed; disarm the emperor and you disarm the enemy. The war has many fronts and many places to which it can retreat. It also has many new weapons it wishes to try out. These involve sound, where frequency can inflict more harm than a bullet, and on a much larger scale. Almost everything can either heal or harm. For instance, one can drink water or drown in it. Newer weapons will be based upon this premise and require less militia to enforce them, a timely and effective strategy since there will be less soldiers to draw upon.

Less soldiers will not mean less war, at least not yet, and while there will be less they will be better armed. The military will be looking for less able bodies and more able minds. They will entice young minds with the latest technology, promising them gadgetry instead of guns and placating them with laboratories in place of labor. Those who are courted today are invited to visit think tanks that look more like virtual reality (sim) environments than anything else. Their escorts are not uniformed recruiters, but updated, latest-version exports of modern technology. Well-planned and supervised tours include visits to dream-like inner and outer environments almost to good to be true. Positions are and have already been offered to adolescents as young as fourteen years of age, for the new children are well known in these circles as well.

If you are reading these words in hopes that the final paragraphs will weave a conclusion to your liking disappointment is on the way, for this year and the one that follows it belong to a sequence that was into play long ago. Just as the observable light from a star journeyed far to make your acquaintance today, this pattern also has long existed. It is here to be of benefit to you, but you will not recognize this nor reap its rewards for several more years. It is important to remain present and alert while refusing to become a skeptic or a cynic, as to do so would be to become estranged from the subject and the teaching it offers. Be an observer of nature, human and otherwise, as that which is natural abides by natural law first and other influences second. Speak your intentions softly but clearly, especially where they reflect what and whom you support and in whose name. Place your own true name at the top of the list and at its end as well so that you will not be under-represented.

On the Home Front

The world might be at or near war, but on the home front mouths still need to be fed and mortgages paid. The drums din to the sound of war, but their persistent echo fades as they approach home. Truth, like reality, is subjective; the closer one comes to it the louder it should be, unless one closes one’s ears. Such is the case with respect to the world’s economy, a singular rather than plural subject. The din sounds of the drumbeat have confused humanity, and its repeated reinforcement has fixed it in humanity’s mind, compounding it even further. Its cadence goes something like this, “The rent is due on the first, the car payment is due on the second, the tuition is due on the third, the credit card payment is due on the fourth . . . “ and so on. The drumbeat becomes louder until it is harder to hear that which exists beyond it. One hears one’s own agenda not because it is more important, but because it is louder.

Each life is cast its own lot and is not better or worse than another. One would need to know the intricate experiences underwritten by the soul and underlying each and every life before being qualified to say who or what is better or worse off than another, all appearances to the contrary. Every life is worth its light in sun’s gold from beginning to end and none are paid short shrift in heaven or on earth. Soon, however, it will become increasingly difficult to believe these very words and even my own sentience will be called upon to give account of their validity or better yet, to offer proof of their merit.

The world stage changes now, but the home front will change faster still. Did it not change in a matter of hours for those whose lives became inextricably tied to the course of a hurricane? Lives change because it is necessary than they do. Hurricanes are not malicious by nature, but they are not accidental either. They are purposeful as is all life. Most employers are not malicious, but they are not beneficent, either. They are purposeful; they have an agenda, which may or may not support your own. While these examples are both real-life and real-time, they do nothing to ease the din of the drumbeat’s cadence and the place it occupies within your being.

In order to consciously care for your home front and its responsibilities you must become more aware of that which exists beyond the din. This word, din, is being repeated here so that you will grasp it’s meaning more fully. Din, is a loud persistent noise composed of confused and persistent sounds which when repeated over and over again, fix something in someone’s mind. Din is also short for and a symbol of dinar, a subunit of currency still in use today though more common in ancient times where in the middle-east it was the standard of exchange, being a gold coin. Do they both not pose a problem today?

All That Is, abundant and resplendent, did not create currency or its lack, humanity did. Today’s system of currency was created long ago, and though your ancestors succeeded in freeing themselves from slavery, they indentured themselves and you to another god. Any form of currency will continue to exist as long as there is widespread acceptance or use of it, even if it is no more than a theory, word or phrase. In this case, yesterday’s currency has become today’s god and at least in this reality, humanity has also accepted its debt.

Your beingness is debtless and faultless, but your identity is not. When your identity becomes less and your beingness more, your debts will be reduced and you will find the means from which to detach yourself from them. In the meantime, latching onto another reality, belief or system will not free you from this one. Your soul did not determine the creditworthiness of its beingness before choosing a body. You were not offered a greater or lesser human vehicle based upon your ability to pay for it throughout your life, but once you were born your identity took on debt and is still doing so. In ancient times a debt was synonymous with a sin, or that which your beingness could not trespass upon itself, for to do so was to create a condition that was impossible to bear.

Obligations weigh heavily upon your being, and those with associated debt are among the densest of all. An obligation is a condition, and while most are not life-threatening, they affect the ability of the whole to function optimally. Conditions such as these contribute to physical and psychological disorders and are often characterized by hardship and suffering. Informal conditions are no more than circumstances that affect how one works or lives, but formal conditions create situations in which position; rank and social status come into question. Under conditioning, people act and react in certain ways that gradually accustom them to patterns, events and identities. The accumulation of debt and its association with identity has made it more difficult for you to remember who you are.

Awaken, awaken and remember! Your divinity is real, more real than the debt that prevents you from recognizing it. Loosen the binds of the identity you have taken on and the burdens of debt loosen as well; it is not your debts that shackle you to your beliefs but the other way ‘round. As long as you are harnessed to your identity you will not recognize your true self and it will be more difficult for you to discover new solutions. New solutions will not come from the very system that enslaved you or from your identity that willingly, albeit unwittingly, donned the shackles of your time. A debtor is someone who has trespassed against another, in other words, someone who has assumed that which is not his, including an identity. It is no wonder that the one crime that the creators of the current system have the most difficulty combating is of their own making! There is nothing less tangible than an identity, do you see?

The current system will crumble in favor of another one, but it will not be a better one, not yet. Still, it is best to recognize it for what it is and to disavow it from the first. In doing so you will not erase your debt, but neither will you don yet another identity that is not your own, another layer to peel off later. You are not your debt and it is not you. It belongs to the beliefs associated with your third dimensional awareness and the conditions implied by it. Your endorsement of this debt has made it denser and more real, but its reality is still tethered to the third dimension and yours is not.

Those who hold your credit worthiness at risk will soon introduce by banks and new methods of accounting. These methods will be to their advantage but they will doubtless be touted as of benefit to many, and indeed at first glance they will. There will be an easing of the methods by which one establishes credit and by which a score is established. Many will receive clean slates with which to begin again while others will have a portion of their debt deferred into a unique account by which they can earn ‘points’ that can be used to offset debt or to defer it further. One of the factors upon which the new system will depend will be as if a bargain against the future. For instance, if a healthy young male sees many years of earning potential ahead of him, he might not bargaining with his retirement account today with the promise (in writing) that it will be there when he needs it. This is a simple example and others will be more complex, but suffice it to say that there will be a scramble among many to see what they have to bargain with and for. Such bargaining, where columns of credits and debits work for and against each other will minimize the need for cash, making the longevity of currency a bit of a gamble in itself.

Interest rates will continue to rise, slowly at first and more quickly later. The timing for the introduction of this new system will be an appropriate one. It will be on the lips of candidates and politicos. Plans are already in place to assure the endorsement of relief agencies that have been of pivotal support to the poor and the devastated during the recent worldwide natural events, especially if the new system does not gain momentum quickly. It will be shown, for instance, that the generosity by which the system operates was responsible for the funds that were made available during these catastrophes. CDs and DVDs introducing the system will be mailed to everyone and shown everywhere. Individual worksheets pointing out obvious benefits will also be available. Corporations large and small, each with something to gain and a part to play will offer incentives of their own.

This description is a modest one and cannot take into account all of the ramifications such an operation implies. You will not be able to opt out of this system any more than you can opt out of paying your mortgage or your taxes, but for a time it will seem that you have the better of it. The disadvantages will not be apparent until later and that is why it is said, do not assume an identity that is not your own and does not support you. Do not run from your debt nor make it your all. Take responsibility for it by acting in accordance with the laws of men, but do not forget the universal laws by which you create and were created, as they will remain in effect.

The world cannot pay for the debt it has accumulated and neither can you. Many of the world’s countries can hardly pay for their food, and will not be able to assume their share of the world’s debt when the time comes to ante up. This will place debtor nations in a predicament that provides no egress and perhaps no escape. The great countries will not fare better in the long run, but these cards will not show themselves for a while yet, nor will those who for a time can get by on a bluff. No longer are there aces in the deck, only Kings in positions they are not qualified for, and queens, who like foxes, guard the henhouses at night while you sleep.

Take care of your true self, do not abandon it in favor an identity that is temporary are hardly your own. If you promise, do so in kindness and by pledge, but not so as to accumulate a debt. Be of a mind that is innocent and a body that is pure. Reflect upon a past that is nearly complete and a future that is near its dawn. Share words of wisdom with the less fortunate and whisper your words of fear to me at night. They will be returned to you in the morning, mended and of good use again. Do not discard your fear or your resources; they will both come in handy soon. Recognize that which makes you whole is your beingness and not your identity. It is your soul, not your overcoat.

Nature’s Call

“Which way do you think the wind will blow,” said one weather forecaster to another. “I don’t know,” said the second. “I guess it’s nature’s call.” Is it so? Does nature now dictate to man? What and where is nature’s intelligence that it is not also with man? Nature has many faces, but it has one voice, which has not been heard by man or that which belongs to man. Nature’s voice says simply, “Be that which you be, do that which you do, and in good season now as always.” Be that which you be, means to be natural in all that you are. If you are human be human and if you are animal be animal, but if you are plant, then be that. Do that which you do, means to flourish without giving thought elsewhere, without expectation or reward, and outside of the good or bad opinion of others. It means to perform an action because it the most natural of all things to do and not contrary to that which is. In good season now as always, means that you will not change that which you are or that which you do midstream. It means that universal law is not temporary, but eternal. A season is as dictated by nature and the spirit that guides it, and all things that respond to it. A good season, means one that is well spent and complete, with no agenda it leaves nothing before it or behind it.

That which is natural can be only that and nothing else, but it can be made to act unnaturally given certain circumstances and a narrow bandwidth within which to express. This is one of the challenges presented to humanity in these times; soon there will be more. The earth (my body) prepares to renew itself now, as the gap between endings and beginnings is a gift from the universe for just such a purpose. This gift is bestowed upon all, but like all opportunities that arrive dressed as challenges, one must recognize them for what they are. In the spring the earth renews itself as it sheds winter’s cold. There are signs above and beneath the ground that warn every kingdom and every element to anticipate change. Is this not what is taking place today? Does the earth not rumble and the tides not signify that change is in the midst?

As long as humanity’s collective head remains in the sand, change will continue to take it by surprise. Open your eyes! The earth renews itself; will you not also choose renewal? There is much to lose in remaining ignorant and much to gain in looking for new opportunities. Have you watched your friends or family lament a sunset when the next dawn already harkens? It is a pity to behold, yet this is how many of the earth’s species perceive humanity. Your brothers, sisters, cousins and teachers stand at the ready off-planet, but they will not rescue you from yourselves. Your long sleep keeps you apart from what is taking place rather than a part of it. You are beings of light, a collective consciousness from the brightest constellations and star clusters, who or what are you cowering from? Awaken; you have but a few short years in which to do so.

By collective agreement, your body makes its home atop my own. This agreement is valid as long as there is purpose in it. Purpose is not hewn of concrete and mortar; it is flexible, soft and loving. We are not adversaries and nature has no wrath to inflict upon any of its species for where does one end and the next begin? The relationship between man and earth is a resilient one whose purpose is to balance and develop conscience and sentience. The earth (my sentience) is not angry or sad, it is not wounded and it does not seek retaliation for the unconscious acts that have depleted many of its resources. The earth has laid no gauntlet before humanity, it is humanity’s own immaturity and mindlessness that now challenges it to seek solutions for the folly it has wrought. So be it. If solutions are needed, they will be found. Is this not the same Law by which all beings live? Peace be with you, let us now put our collective awareness to the test!

The globe warms now, at alarming rate they say. If consciousness rose at an alarming rate would there also be concern? Yes, more than likely, yes. If an hour took look longer than sixty minutes you would also be alarmed, and if the sun rose elsewhere on the horizon many hearts would stop beating, literally so. These possibilities, now near realities, instill fear, for great changes, even good ones, are known for doing exactly that. How can so many ignore the obvious? They do not, at least not at the levels that really matter. Why don’t they do something about it? They are, but they are you.

The current process is an evolutionary one, and it began long, long ago. You were there when it began, even if you cannot remember it now. Forgetting is a tool that allows you to concentrate on other things, remembering is a tool that allows you to concentrate on this thing. Ignorance is a tool that removes cause, placing one at effect, do you see? Currently, those who do not wish to be at cause prefer that others be that for them - scientists, government officials, emergency response teams, doctors, family members, employers, etc. When one is at the effect of life, surprises come often and from many directions. Your soul has animated this life upon this world at this time to revive your awareness of being at cause; this is true of all beings without exception.

If you are at cause will the earth not quake? No, but you will quake with it and recognize that you too, caused such quaking. If you are at cause will the hurricanes diminish their intensity? No, but perhaps your conscious awareness will join with their elemental awareness so that their purpose can be accomplished at sea rather than inland. It amazes my sentience that a tuna-fisherman baits a shark by luring it too close to his boat and then cowers in fear as he is taken by apparent surprise. Likewise, it is just as amazing to behold the sophisticated technology by which hurricanes are tracked, broadcast worldwide, and then baited to shore by both fear and sensationalism. The element of surprise would seem ineffectual, yet it is all too present. Without chastisement, could your awareness not be equally fascinated elsewhere?

The simple truth is that humanity is fascinated by the rapid rise in earth changes. It looks at the destruction of cities and the demise of lives, contributes to the relief of others and gives thanks that it happened elsewhere. It supports the effect suffered upon others without placing itself at cause, do you see? The surface of the earth is changing because its inner composition is changing as well. Do you not dance with the idea of your ascension and the changes that are taking place within your inner and outer environments? The earth does as well! Have your teachers, spiritual and otherwise, not forecast such a time and bid you prepare? Well, such times are here and they are now. In awareness all things are possible. Such awareness comes to those who draw it to themselves be it in peaceful meditation or in the throes of upheaval.

The earth intensifies its motion now, bypassing older deposits of energy in favor of newer ones. To reiterate, this is a natural process and humanity has been its witness and its participant many times prior. The polar caps are melting quickly now dislodging volumes of ice into the seas, but not all of the melted ice becomes additional seawater, some of it seeps into the earth’s crust and travels elsewhere via the systems that crisscross the inner surface of the earth. Once under the surface the characteristics of water become altered, thereby altering the composition of that which the water interacts with. By this saying, expect water tables to rise and fall throughout the earth with no detectable sequence. Island nations will be most affected because their reserves of fresh water are not as deep as those of mainland nations. The rise and fall of the earth’s water tables will affect public water supplies and private well systems alike. Under such circumstances it would be appropriate to test water supplies more often and to study desalination techniques, some of which are already fairly adequate. Water from within and without will continue to erode the earth’s shores inundating that which is close enough to sea level to become sea. Sliding earth due to over-saturation will also change the shape of the world’s coastlines. If you own or will soon purchase property in these areas be well guided in your decisions and be in balance with the earth’s elements. The earth only takes and uses what it needs, returning in the rest in a variety of forms and functions, if you can say the same you will have no cause for concern.

Earthquakes will also be on the rise, this year and for several more to come. There are no earthquake safe or earthquake prone zones, but there are earthquake proof people. Remember and awaken. Draw unto yourselves learning experiences, but if you have already learned must you relearn? Earthquake proof people are those who remember who they are and that they are not separate from the experiences they draw to them. By contrast, earthquake prone people live in fear of that which seems to be outside of them and therefore outside of their control. Even earthquakes do not come from that which is outside of you. They emerge from the center (an epicenter) and move outward. You, too, have emerged from the center, from which you moved outward until you thought you were separate from your center. You are not.

All of your individual adventures do not preclude that humanity is a community-based species. While private moments can be uplifting and revealing solitary forays into the depths of beingness may not be. Choose your physical and spiritual explorations well. For instance, a new healing technique or thought-based system may or may not trigger your intuitive nature as regards earth changes. Trust your intuition and continue to develop an abiding relationship with it. Trust your teachers and heed their lessons when they are appropriate. Know that you are safe in your beingness, and that you are not your pride or your possessions. If loss presents itself remember that what is owned or earned can be recreated, because the supply is endless even if chaos rearranges it temporarily. Seek shelter in appropriate places and share your shelter with others when and if the time comes. Lay in a good quantity of supplies but do not hoard these. When you make a purchase make an extra one that you would be willing to share. Imagine that others are doing the same on your behalf. The shelf life of the resources you have will be commensurate with your faith in manifesting any resource you will need at a later time.

Be your own first-responder. Do not count on federal, state or local emergency personnel to do for you what you are capable of doing for yourself and for others as well. Soon the federal government will have fewer funds to allocate to disaster relief. The responsibility will then fall upon the individual states, most of which are unprepared to say the least. Local communities, being more in tune with their constituents will be better prepared, but if they wait for instructions and deployment from superiors who project their authority from elsewhere it will not bode well. The same is true of other countries and those who receive these words in another language are advised to receive them as their own.

The science-fumblers and weather-makers will be hard at work for some time to come, the thought behind their efforts being that if such power could be harnessed its energy could be controlled, and if it can be controlled can it not also be owned? A percentage of the world’s catastrophes can certainly be considered man-made and even attributed to the activities of these earth-rakers and those who sponsor their efforts, but certainly not all. Those who go about insisting that all such events are planned and the result of sinister activities might invest their energies elsewhere for the good of the entire planet, for if all are one (and they are) then they too, are the planners and inciters of such fiendish invocations of energy. Pay them heed when they work for your well-being and a favorable environment and give them no succor when their words are loosed upon already chaotic times. Mal-practitioners with good intentions always seek followers though leaders they are not. This subject cannot be called complete and we will revisit it from many places and perspectives as the year unfolds.

When the Cat’s Away

Scandals will be many as the year unfolds, some from tried and true corners and others from unlikely people and places. Secrets are fragile multi-layered things that unravel not at the end but at their beginning, where who or what they were assigned to guard begins to fray. Secrets are not meant to be kept hidden or buried forever, but the timing of their release is another thing altogether. Secrets are made of an elastic, juicy-like fabric that can stretch almost as far as the fabric of time, making that which they guard valuable long after it was sworn into being. Those who weave the fabric within which a secret is embedded become the fabric’s caretaker for however long is necessary, often long after the secret is revealed. For instance, those who embedded secrets into the books considered holy are still responsible for them today, and will continue to be until such time as the secrets are revealed and righted if need be. The same is true of the dashing men you call framers of your government’s constitution, for they too must be held to account on certain measures. Can those who whisper in the corridors, behind closed doors and in-between bed sheets expect less?

Animals are exceptionally intelligent in that they will immediately distance themselves upon completion of their elimination cycle, and especially from any proximity to the excrement associated with their last meal. Humans share this instinctual intelligence, but seem to be less fortunate in their escape. Why? Because an invisible tar-like substance adheres itself to those who speak less than truth in less than opportune moments to less than trusted companions, thereby rendering the elimination cycle incomplete. In other words, one cannot simply walk away from what one created and/or participated in, do you see? Those who are haunted by the truth more than likely avoided it or misspoke it at some point. Those who tell a lie fare no better, for the consequences they wrought often become their own. Man metes out his own justice and requires neither condemnation nor judgment from others Sentences of punishment are not conferred by a panel of one’s equals, but by a distorted mirror’s edge, for one’s true equal could not condemn.

A secret begins its life much like a cell does, around its nucleus are clustered all manner of bringers and takers of information. It also ends its life much like a cell, albeit a cancerous one, with everyone and everything running elsewhere for safety before it’s too late. By this guide you will see the contrast of light and dark this year, and examples to choose from will abound. “If the walls could only speak,” the saying goes. Well, what if they did? “I’d like to be a fly on that wall,” goes another. Well, what if you were? “I wonder if he’s going to spill his guts?” asks a conspirator of his companion. He will. 2006 is a turncoat year, so to speak. It will make fools of friends and enemies alike. The dead still walk, you know. The dead walk because they did not speak their truth nor reveal their secrets when it was their time to do so, but all things (times) being equal; they are more than willing to do so now.

Political scandals will be at the forefront with corporate falsehoods bringing up the rear. Contradictions and investigations will seem to delay the obvious, but wildcat oil wells, sometimes called “gushers” will cause even the wheels most greased to spin. Why speak in metaphors? Metaphors as vessels are more sea worthy per square inch than well-organized speech. Why does the wisdom of Nostradamus live on long after he did? His fine poetic words, arranged to tickle, tantalize, provoke and protect, are still at work on his behalf and still of benefit to you, as well.

The world is under watch now as well placed cameras record faces and microphones record speech. Conspiracy, however, is more difficult to detect, and piracy even more so. That being the case, sophisticated draconian measures will soon accompany those already in place. Those who enact such measures will find that they will fall upon their own sword as their own strategy begins to backfire. A new technology designed to spy on anyone at anytime is still under lock and key as of this writing, but not for long. This technology surpasses even the sophisticated nature of that which is already in use, even before public awareness or complaint has spoken. As it turns out very few of you will be worth spying on, as you are even more ordinary and predictable than the creators of the technology itself.

Not everyone is ordinary or predictable, however, and a veritable list of who’s who will be unable to allow such an opportunity to pass without attempting to use it to his or her advantage. So the folly will begin, and where it will end is still anyone’s guess. The technology itself is not faulty, but it is invasive and difficult to disable without knowledge of that which created it. Do you remember HAL in the moving picture, 2001: A space Odyssey? He (it) lives on, and those who created HAL are still in their laboratory, albeit a better financed one. What if that which was created to protect or detect a secret decided instead (autonomically) to hold it for ransom and/or to divulge it elsewhere?

Autonomical technologies include devices that contain semi-intelligent, near-conscious active agents. Autonomical agents were created to be independent and self-governing, with a capacity to make moral decisions and to act on them. They exist, develop and react as self-regulating semi-organisms. The technology upon which they were created emulates the functions of the human nervous system not under the ordinary voluntary control of the individual, for example the regulation of the heart beat and the secretions performed by the glands. Their emulation and compatibility with such systems makes them hard to detect. On the other hand, the moral “code” under which they operate has been programmed, at least initially so. Even without metaphors, can you read between the lines?

Information and technology will long be remembered as the cornerstone of this age. Artificial intelligence is now featured. So be it. When humanity tires of it, natural intelligence and its many benefits will be restored. Do you not wonder where your space friends have gone? They will not share in this folly, but will be available soon enough when it is set aside. Such toys bring no conquests, and this they already know having learned it long ago. “I have no part in it! I have no conscious knowledge of this, nor would I support it if I did?” So my sentience has heard it said, not only in this age but in others as well. Be at peace, dearest friends, no blame is settled upon you. Though you wrote your future long ago you also wrote your past and you shall be present to see them both.

Whose truth does your heart today embrace? Is it your own? Are you sure? How many trusted misadventures have sprung from truths too readily embraced? How many deeds and misdeeds alongside knowledgeable accomplices? Think well before embracing a truth that you stumbled upon in a book, a cave, a class or a friend. Trust truth to stand upon a pillar of spirit, for those of salt and stone will crumble now and again later. There are no secrets such as cannot be revealed to the worthy or the wanton, depending upon their nature. “Tell me no secrets and I will tell others no lies,” may well be the mantra of those who guard well their integrity. “Speak softly even when you whisper truth that your blunders be not shouted from the battlements.” This, a wise long-lived, and much beloved king was often heard to say. May wisdom extend its time-earned warmth to you and to yours.

What About Me?

The year ahead already seems almost out of hand and it is barely upon you. Stress descends out of nowhere, but settles itself upon your shoulders just the same. What have you done to deserve such treatment, nothing? Exactly. A diamond, even an imperfect one beset with carbon deposits and inclusions, does not inflict upon itself the very stress that leads to its own perfection. But the stress arrives just the same. Why? It is an act of nature upon that which is natural. Humanity now draws to itself such as will make it more tensile, each in his own way. Tensile strength is a measure of flexibility withstood while receiving or exerting force. That which is tensile-true, is capable of being stretched and pulled out of shape without losing its structural integrity, in other words, without ceasing to be that which it is. You, humanity, are tensile-true. You cannot and will not cease to be that which you are, but you do not know this yet, not experientially.

Short of spelling it out, this year will reveal to you as clearly as possible what you are. You are not a who, you are a what, and a grand What at that. You are not the bastard children of laboratory experiments gone wrong, and you are not the top of the discard pile of a more advanced race, as my sentience recently overheard on one of the channel’s outings! To use another borrowed phrase from a recent seminar participant, you are divinity in drag! A collection of the best of all things, with many of the lights still turned off. Blaring lights will not make the process quicker, but they will make the contrast between light and dark more stark and severe. Do you not already find fault with shadow, especially your own?

This year will be marked by an invisible need to hurry along, as if to a supposed end or a foregone conclusion. Many will go there and extend and invitation for you to join them. “It is the destination”, they will say. “The big Aha!” If you go there you will find what they promised, but you will also find disappointment for you are more than “Aha” and your origins are as well. Might I suggest that you accompany your friends and especially your family members there without calling the journey your own? Might I also suggest that while what you seek is natural it is not as obvious as what will be demonstrated?

Your friends and your family have been waiting for just such a moment as this year will seem to provide. Your New Age ideas will be called to account this year. Your far-fetched theories and far-from-mainstream views on human origins, too. All conspiracy who-done-its will face near extermination, and it will all be at the hands of one of your own pseudo-scientists. Science and religion must merge, you see. Such a joining requires a Judas in monk’s robes, as it were. And from among your great community, a light will offer itself. These words are offered to you now so that when the time comes you will remember that it is light that speaks, and its language is light. This same reminder was put forth long ago, do you remember? Do not test yourselves needlessly.

A new language will emerge beginning this year as well, one that will take away some of your complacency if you let it. Languages are born, and much later they are taught. Language is a form of communication, be it spoken or silent. It includes signs and symbols and even operations in the case of mathematics and geometry. This language will be an unconventional one whose characteristics will include intuitional gestures and inarticulate muscle movements. The intention behind the language will cause you to rely upon forgotten aspects of your being. If language is a bridge between people, then it is also a bridge between hemispheres of the brain. Though you may be loath to be programmed, your brain responds to unique signals and rules that will lead to greater awareness sooner rather than later. Performing certain functions and upgrades upon your computer’s brain often yields rewards elsewhere. This language will yield similar results. If you pay attention to music you will see that it is also a language and your brain receives it as one. For instance, let’s say that a language is irregular in its form, emotional in effect, and improvisational in nature - this language describes the architecture of rhapsody; you hear music, but your brain ‘hears’ a language. A new language can help to offset or remake how you hold old-programmed agreements in your life. Ask yourself what your brain hears when you say, “I can’t . . . afford that . . . go there . . . do this . . . sleep . . . stand him or her? Is a new language, be it one of words, melodies or symbols not in order?

During the first half of this year you will have more questions than answers, but in the second half, especially if you allow your true nature to speak for you, you will have answers to many important questions. Here is an important key: Ask questions whose answers will settle you and your mind, rather than the ones that will provoke the next irritating question to the surface. All questions have answers, otherwise the question could not be formulated, but not all answers are satisfying. Have you ever asked a question and had it answered only to ask it again in the next moment or of the next person? My sentience has addressed many such questions, and when the redux question is asked and answered it still seems to be reprised later in the same dialogue. Reason would dictate that you did not like the answer you received, but truth be told, you did not understand the answer, or know how to make it work, or imagine how you might change it. If an answer does not please you or engage your creativity you may set about changing or reinventing it, but if instead, you set a course to ask your question again here, there or elsewhere you will become frustrated and decide your question has no likely answer, in which case it won’t.

Questions are not forever things, they belong to the now. In order to make good sense and use of an answer you must also be in the present and apply the answer there. If the question were, “When will the war end?” the answer you would be hoping for would be, “Now, today.” But if in asking the question, you projected yourself into your mind (which does not often remain in the present) you would allow all of the reasons regarding the impossibility of the answer to arise, and the answer would have been nullified before you even heard it. Who is asking the question, then? You or your mind? The mind asks many questions, in fact, it could ask questions all day long and often does. Interestingly, the mind does not expect answers, but you do, so ask the questions whose answers will benefit you in the now. If the answer to your question prompts you to say or think, “but what if . . . “, then you did not ask the question, your mind did. Again, during the first half of the year you will have more questions than answers. Why? Because your mind will be more actively engaged in your affairs and concerns. The second half of the year will provide many opportunities for answers, but you must be present to receive them.

What About Me? The answer to this question already exists within you, but you must breathe life into it. It is a question that seems to say it all, does it not? Its answer does as well. ‘Me’ is what you have projected into your identity so that you could experience your beingness as individual, but it is not what you are. Your identity has needs, but you do not. If you begin the year by asking, ‘What About Me?’ by years end you will have the answer to many of your needs. If you will also ask, ‘Who Am I? and What is the who, I AM?’ by years end you will be a different person, with a subtler identity and a grander presence.

Righting the Wrongs

2006 will see the beginning of the world and its leaders attempting to right some of the wrongs by more effective means than it has attempted thus far. It has become all too obvious that the world has changed and so have its people and its resources. Some would say, even at this juncture, that it all happened almost overnight. Some historians will record it this way and the descendants of your future generations will marvel that it happened so. Of course, they will have other tools to guide them as well, for it will also be recorded that the close of this era was fraught with deceit, ignorance, and the struggle for control. To be fair, there are those who do and will say that it was no more than good old-fashioned horse-trading.

Before wrongs can be righted there must be agreement as to where to begin. Unfortunately, while this is being argued, little will be done and many of the wrongs will continue and even increase. The world’s resources will continue to dwindle and so will those of most individuals, but the world has other resources that it was previously unaware of, and so do you, the individual. The world cannot create its future by discarding its past or ignoring its present, it must choose a new pattern or spiral from which to ascend rather than continue its descent. The future of the earth rests upon this.

In hindsight all choices seem obvious, but in the muddle of the moment when confusion reigns, the fog of doubt and inconsistency does as well. This fog will cloud the minds of many of the world’s leaders and there will be those who choose to step down rather than continue. So close to a shift in paradigm the world’s leaders find themselves in parallax, with a different view of the same object or situation because their own position has changed. Choose well your leaders and pay close attention to those whom they appoint, for they too shall become your leaders. Will they remain at the helm when the fog settles upon them, too?

A battle between the world’s leaders is in the making, but will not reveal itself this year, and perhaps not even next. It simmers now, but will eventually boil over. The battle will be over promises not kept, as many are, but the stakes will be much higher. The world is only a chess match away from unrestrained war, some astride their horses and others hiding or watching from their ivory towers. The pawns have thinned their ranks and the king, as always, is powerless for the most part. The powerful queen is within all of you; it is that which represents the divine feminine. Has this subject not found a prominent position in almost areas of life? There are yet clues to be discovered and rewards for the having, but these will only reveal themselves to those who understand the true nature of the queen and her power.

We have shared few words with you of late as to the activities of the space brotherhood that also shares your fate due to an interesting array of anomalies. Their hands were tied even as your eyes have been shut, but solutions have continued to present themselves just the same. They are not your heroes, only your brothers, and it is their wisdom and not them that you require. They will not rescue you from yourselves, but will intercede on your behalf if a threat not of your own making presents itself. In this, and this alone, they have leave to act. You will hear and read many words to the contrary as this year and next progresses. You will have both cause and desire to believe what is told you in this regard. Those who proffer their words do so based upon a certain understanding, just as those who interpret the symbolic language of the holy books as literal. Belief is a very fragile thing, even when it seems strong and concrete. The sturdiest of foundations will begin to crack this year, and will soon crumble as well. Be not too near them when they do!

The wrongs that will be righted will not appear on your front-page headlines, it is still too soon for that, but their presence will be felt and seen. A lovely woman named Rosa Parks recently transitioned from the physical plane to the next. Her body received high honors and her memory much praise because of what her life represented. But many like her go nameless and homeless for the same principles, do you see? Headlines offer insight as to what has been, you must look elsewhere for what is and may be. Today the wrongs seem more plentiful than the rights because they have gone ignored, but ignorance makes its presence known in many places, even where right seems more than plain. Wrongs are teachers. If a father was himself raised wrongly, then that which was wrong must be righted in the parenting of his own son. If a generation or an epoch has wronged the earth than it has also wronged itself, do you see? That teaching, which may last many generations will once and again belong to those that wrought it . . . that they may right it! True teachers do not point fingers; they point the way. In this case two wrongs can indeed make a right.

As was said earlier, there will be much dissension about how to repair or replace what needs be. After many short stalls and a shake-up or two (one of these in the physical) a variety of options will be explored. These will run the gamut from the ridiculous to the sublime, as you might imagine, but from the ashes will emerge the phoenix itself, clutching a few shreds of truth upon which to renew the planet and the hope of those who make their home upon it. The costliest plans will more than likely be the least effective, because has no energy of its own. Next on the list of ineffectiveness will be plans that involve legions of brawn toiling in the fields of the bewildered and forgotten, this was already tried long ago, remember? Remembering is the key. Remember who you are and you remember a little. Remember what you are and you remember more. Remember what you and the planet are together and you are well on your way. True solutions exist beyond the human mind, but not beyond its ability to retrieve memories, do you see?

There is no wrong that cannot be righted, no weapon that cannot be abandoned, no reality that cannot be transformed, nor wisdom recovered. 2006 will address these subjects from a variety of perspectives until at last someone dares to utter the words that tongues have swallowed and lips have silenced, “Can it really be the end, the end? Only when yesterday’s question becomes today’s acknowledged situation, will tomorrow’s solution arrive. Only then, will science meet religion and Spirit speak to both.

All that has been addressed here has been pondered before and there is little that will take you by surprise this year. That being the case, why not become a bit of a sleuth? There are mysteries to be revealed, and experiences to be had. Can you recall how many children’s games involved being blindfolded or otherwise handicapped? Even so, some became expert at such games; perhaps you were one of them. This year will be a bit like that. Of last year it could be said that the blind led the blind, but this year only some play at blindness, a vast improvement. Shall we gather again next year to view and review? In the meantime, perhaps we will meet again between these and other pages, or in any location of your choosing for they are all one where my sentience is concerned.
