Greetings, dear ones, I am  Kryon of Magnetic Service. So it is that this particular message would be the  one that is published first in 2013. There would be those who would be listening  now, who would say, "Well, now that the marker has been passed of 2012,  what's next?" This is the Human Being speaking who is always looking forward  and never back, who doesn't usually stop and look around, who always wants to  measure energy by what's coming instead of what was or what is. So we're not  going to go there just yet. Instead, we're going to say to you, "I want you to  stop and look at what you've done." For in order to look forward, you must  understand what's behind you. What is behind you is the conquering of an old  energy, above and beyond what any of the prophecies ever said you would be able  to do.

Kryon Timing

For those who haven't put it  together yet, my arrival in 1989 was a precursor for the potentials that we saw  were in place for this very day. Had you not changed the consciousness of the  planet, had you not marked your territory by the Harmonic Convergence of 1987, I  would not be channelling with my partner today. He would have a different life,  for I would never have presented myself to him as I did. I told him early on  that if he chose not to take the mantle that I offered, there were others who  would. So the point is that you created an energy that allowed me to enter and  begin the teaching to humanity through a Human Being.
I didn't create anything by  arriving here, dear ones. You're the ones who decided to cook this meal. I'm  simply one of the ingredients. I want you to look around figuratively at what  you've accomplished and what you've gone through. You have been slogging through  some of the oldest energy that existed on the planet. You have been taking light  and throwing it against darker things that had no integrity, taking light and  throwing it against judgment and drama, and you have been doing this for 18  years, by the way.
Oh, some of you say, "I've been  doing it longer than that, Kryon!" Indeed, but the last 18 years were the  ones foretold as part of the Galactic Alignment. This alignment is more than an  alignment in the sky, dear ones. When your sun aligns fully with the earth and  the center of the galaxy, you're looking at creation. This alignment is a marker  that is energetic, not just something that the astronomers knew as the  precession of the equinoxes, or that the Mayans told you about through their  calendars, or that fractal time computations gave you. This is a time known  by the Universe and what you've done around it.

Release

Now all begins to change, and the  first thing that happens is what we're going to call release. You have to  understand that Spirit moves slowly, and especially within the time frame of how  fast consciousness is able to change on the planet - that's you. So there's no  clock or timeline that Spirit has given you, except a framework of the next 18  years while your planet continues to precede through what is called the Dark  Rift, which is the Milky Way. Within those 18 years, there's a profundity of  potential that you will be able to "plant the seeds of new consciousness" that  will indeed grow quickly in future times.
Release: If you're a bodybuilder  and you have held a weight in your hand for a long, long time, when you put it  back in the holder, the muscles will need time to return to normal. There's  stress in holding up the weight, and there is a corporeal balance that is  changed with the stress. Body chemistry within the muscles changes to allow the  holding of the weight. So there's a release process that takes place when the  weight is put away.
Now, this release metaphor is  saying, "Take a short vacation from battling the old energy. Because the old  energy is also going to start to change since it is also part of the release." The old energy also has been holding something; it has been holding back the  light [you]. So both of you suddenly are in release mode. But the wise  Human will always wait a moment while things recover and watch where things  settle. The unwise Human will continue to push in the old fashion, no matter  what. It's important that you release for a moment and take a look at a changing  paradigm.
Old   energy is simply energy without light or wisdom, so it will continue pushing in  the old way and may look the same to you. But the difference is that it will be  without all the ammunition it used to have. This ammunition is the structure of  the Crystalline Grid and the ability for the darkness to survive in the way it  has done for a millennium.

The  Darkness

Because you have changed the actual  Gaia grid system and have given intent to move past this 2012 marker into 2013,  the rules by which dark and light battle one another have changed. Now the light  is going to have a bigger impact - a far more powerful one. The definition of  dark is the absence of light. So the dark is the void that is not filled  by light, but it still has energy, although it is weaker than ever before. So  let's define something else - the "Consciousness of  Darkness."
Darkness and light are measures,  not entities. They represent the way Humans think and the waves of consciousness  that influence others and create paradigms on earth. So when we say, "the  darkness wants this or that," we are describing groups of Humans who have no  light. This is the opposite of Lightworkers, who are groups of Humans who have  awakened to a realization that God is inside. This realization, by the way, is  available for all humanity, since God is inside of every soul on the planet. But  for a very long time, there simply has been no Human understanding that there is  an actual personal choice of being anything but what they are told they  are.
So the  battle has always been between consciousness and how much light could be given  to those who might see it or wish to see it. But as you know, most of humanity  has wallowed in a very dim light that hasn't changed much for centuries - until  now. This is not about goodness or evil. This is about a confluence or natural  consensus of how Humans think about themselves and what is appropriate behavior  for humanity. Some may even call it Human nature.
Well, this old energy thinking  wants to remain and remain. It won't believe there has been a change, but it  will flail in unbalance for a little while, as it starts to realize it isn't as  powerful anymore. This is going to be uncomfortable for you.
Some of you are saying, "Well,  2013 ought to bring a release, a breath of fresh air. Ah, we made it! We did  it!" Well, I'll tell you, like a child that didn't get its way, the old ways   of the dark will invade every cranny of life it can. It will battle for its life  and its survival, and it will feel the fact that things are not the same. So in  this release period, I want you to take a step back. When you see these things  rear their ugly heads, don't make a decision that 2013 is not what you thought.  When you see more unbalance on the planet, even some things that you didn't  expect - and indeed, they will be there - don't throw up your hands and say,  "Here it is again. We didn't make a difference." Because you did. These  kinds of things work slowly.

The Beginning of  Modern History

Energy is shifting and we have  given you this information before. The very balance of the protocol of the  battle is realigning itself. That's what this time is about. If you ask those in  other solar systems who have gone through this before, it was the beginning,  literally, of their written history. They don't even look at anything before it.  Everything begins now. So as we've said before, if you look in the future   of humanity, they will point to this day and mark it as the beginning of modern  Human history. They will look at everything before it and say, "Those were  the days of barbarianism. Those were the days of modern mythology. Those were  the days we didn't know better, and now we see the face of God in  ourselves." That is what you're stepping into. But it's tough, and it's  slow.

The Planting of the Seeds

I have used the metaphor of  planting seeds many times, so we will examine that just a little more and  give you some more information. The metaphor, of course, is the farmer, and we  use it so that you will see all of the attributes that the farmer looks at,  which are common to you all.
While you were battling the old   energy, you weren't plowing the fields getting ready for the seeds. Instead, you  were surviving. Now it is time to prepare the fields for planting, and in the  process of release, you turn inward. Preparing the fields is a metaphor  for discovering the Higher-Self, the quantumness in you, and moving to a place,  personally, where things start to make more sense in your everyday  life.
There are  those in this room and reading right now who I'm hearing from: "Help me, help  me." You don't think I know who's here? So I'm going to say to you: You know   who you are, dear ones, and I want you to relax for a moment. You are loved  beyond what you think you're loved. You are known by God beyond what you think  you're known by God, and this you are feeling now is temporary. Ok? This is  temporary. If you're pleading for help, you're in unbalance. It's time to relax  in God and know you're loved. There is time. You will survive. You're going to  make it.
There  is wisdom in the plan of the seeding metaphor. First, you plow the fields; then  you add the fertilizer and nutrients. Finally, you get ready for the seed  planting. The fields aren't ready now, so you must pause and get them ready. So  all this talk is a farming metaphor. This may not all make sense to you, but  what it says is that the demarcation point from old to new is now, and only now  may you begin what you came for. You have not planted the seeds yet. The fields  must be prepared. In the process of this preparation, you will find that the  dark energy is easier to battle, allowing you to do the  planting.
New  scenarios will pop up to show you that this is true. You won't believe that you  got through some of the challenges so easily. Because now the energy supports  you and it didn't a year ago. The year 2013 really is a demarcation of intent  and affects manifestation. You start to prepare the fields for new energy  and begin to plant the seeds using that which the old soul has: the wisdom of  the past. These seeds of wisdom are planted into the economy, into the  government, into the household and families. These are seeds of integrity and  will speak of the wisdom of coming together instead of tearing  apart.

The Amateur Farmer

Human attributes then start to  change, and especially Human nature, but it's slow. Imagine an amateur farmer.  He has no idea what he is doing, but he has a pack of seeds. So he reads the  instructions, gets the fields ready, and shoves those seeds in the ground. He is  so excited! He then runs home, but he can hardly sleep. The night goes by, the  sun comes out, and he runs out into the fields at dawn to see what's happening.  And - there is nothing there! What did he do wrong? There is no  crop!
"Nothing is happening," the  farmer says. Did he actually plant anything? It's laughable, of course, because  every farmer knows that crops grow slowly. In fact, they grow so slowly, you  can't see them growing! You stoop down, looking at the plant, and you can even  yell at it, "Grow!", yet nothing happens. Then a week later, you realize  the plant is actually bigger; a week more and it's bigger still. Within a  certain amount of time, it ripens and creates the crop that you  planted.
So   this is what we're telling you: The growing of the seeds of consciousness is  going to be a slow process. It will take 18 years to just plant them! So, how  long do you think before you get the flower? "Oh no!" some of you are  saying. The first reaction of the old soul to this news is, "This is not what  I wanted to hear." Perhaps you would then say, "Then why am I here? I'm  tired. Why don't I just go home now? Kryon, I've decided, I'm going to retire  right now from my working. I've done my job. You passed the marker. Why should I  care at this point in time? We'll leave it to the younger generation." 
So now I  will tell you, Lightworker, that the only way the crops will grow is from using  the light you came here with. That's it. You're the ones who have to take up the  gauntlet, put on the mantle of the responsibility you came in for, and move  forward to make certain the crops grow. I just want to tell you that what you've  been through so far is the hardest part. What you're about to go through will be  easier as time goes on. But it's still going to take a longer time than you  like. So what you're going to see, very slowly, is the emergence of a new Human  energy. It will take many forms, but you're going to see new things. Let's just  examine one.

New Ideas - You  Don't Know What You Don't Know

In recent past channels, we told  you some of the new inventions to look forward to in this new era. But now we  speak of new ideas and new paradigms of thinking. After these things happen, and  when you look at them in retrospect, you're going to say, "Why didn't we  think of that before?" The reason is because you weren't ready for it. So  that brings up a process that is difficult for us to explain to you, because  Humans do not want to hear this.
Human Beings believe that their  brains are capable of any thought that is thinkable in the Universe and that the  sky is the limit. They believe that at any given time, any intellectual can come  up with whatever is needed, which is the next step in evolved thinking. Yet  history doesn't show that, does it? In the past messages we pointed this out,  and we gave you something to think about. We brought up the fact that it should  have been obvious to you how to fly and, of course, now it is. As we speak,  thousands of Human Beings are in the air, flying from one place to another with  principles that the birds showed you thousands of years ago. Yet it's new to  humanity, having only been developed recently. Now, how long have you been  looking at birds and longed to fly? How long have certain cultures been flying  kites? Yet you never figured it out! How's that for being a Human Being with  unlimited thought? You never figured it out!
Finally, about 100 years ago, two  bicycle makers finally did it. I ask you, does it look like something happened  here that is just a little out of the ordinary? Did you know (and I'll say it  again) that those bicycle makers only beat the record of first Human flight by a  week or so? Others on the earth were also working on it simultaneously. Did you  know that? Here's why - because Spirit implants ideas and inventions when you're  ready, and not before. These seemingly obvious ideas are invisible and blind and  unattainable to the Human Being because they can't think of it. You're  seeing this attribute everywhere with humanity, whether you know it or  not.
How many  years did you feel you had to build a fortress around your city-states and block  out other Human Beings in other cities? Humans built walls and had regular  battles so that the other guy wouldn't get your possessions. So how long did it  take you to figure out that maybe you could share your resources, or perhaps  even trade with the other one so that you'd both have each other's resources,  and everybody wins in the process? What a concept! Well, really, you only just  did it. Putting things together instead of tearing them apart has only occurred to you in the last 75 years. Why didn't that occur to you 1,000 years ago?  Instead, you continued to sequester your borders and build armies to keep you  safe. Now, suddenly there is the idea of "country groups" that share common  resources, trade without tariffs, and have a common defense in consciousness.  Have you noticed this? Well, get ready for more, since there will be entire  continents who will do this in the future. But why did it take so  long?
Until  very, very recently, you were conquerors. That's all you did, since that's all  that occurred to you. Armies wiped out other Human Beings so that where they stood, they now owned the land and the resources. That was the thinking of the  day. Now you say, "Well, we're beyond that." Not much. Not really, but  you will be.
New ideas are things you never  thought of. These ideas will be given to you so you will have answers to the  most profound questions that your societies have had since you were born.  Inventions will bring clean water to every Human on the planet, cheaply and  everywhere. Inventions will give you power, cheaply and everywhere. These ideas  will wipe out all of the reasons you now have for pollution, and when you look  back on it, you'll go, "This solution was always there. Why didn't we think  of that? Why didn't we do this sooner?" Because it wasn't time and you were  not ready. You hadn't planted the seeds and you were still battling the old  energy, deciding whether you were going to terminate yourselves before 2012. Now  you didn't…. and now you didn't.
It's funny, what you ponder about,  and what your sociologists consider the "great current problems of mankind", for  your new ideas will simply eliminate the very concepts of the questions just as  they did in the past. Do you remember? Two hundred years ago, the predictions of  sociologists said that you would run out of food, since there wasn't enough land  to sustain a greater population. Then you discovered crop rotation and  fertilizer. Suddenly, each plot of land could produce many times what it could  before. Do you remember the predictions that you would run out of wood to heat  your homes? Probably not. That was before electricity. It goes on and  on.
So today's  puzzles are just as quaint, as you will see. (1)How do you strengthen the power  grids of your great nations so that they are not vulnerable to failure or don't  require massive infrastructure improvement expenditures? Because cold is coming,  and you are going to need more power. (2) What can you do about pollution? (3)  What about world overpopulation? Some experts will tell you that a pandemic will  be the answer; nature [Gaia] will kill off about one-third of the earth's  population. The best minds of the century ponder these puzzles and tell you that  you are headed for real problems. You have heard these things all your  life.
Let me  ask you this. (1) What if you could eliminate the power grid altogether? You can  and will. (2) What if pollution-creating sources simply go away, due to new  ideas and invention, and the environment starts to self-correct? (3)  Overpopulation? You assume that humanity will continue to have children at an  exponential rate since they are stupid and can't help themselves. This, dear  ones, is a consciousness and education issue, and that is going to change.  Imagine a zero growth attribute of many countries - something that will be  common. Did you notice that some of your children today are actually starting to  ponder if they should have any children at all? What a  concept!

Prepare for Separation of Old and New

There is a new dawn, but that's all  it is. The sun sneaks over the horizon as if to say, "We're back." But  you're not going to get a clear sky for a little while, Lightworker, because in  the release process you're going to have to deal with the separations that will  occur. These will be the objections to the ones who don't want to go into the  light and who want to keep what they have because it works for them. They feel  it's the right way, because it has worked for them in the past and because it is  their living [survival]. They will not understand that things are changing  dramatically.
In what you call the New Age  community, all of the processes from the one you see here [channelling] to the  ones that the healer uses are all recalibrating. Some of the axioms you learned  on "how to do things correctly" won't work anymore. There's going to be a more  centralized focus into the one-soul authority. That is to say, there will  be less focus on groups and more on individual discernment. Call it a  dissemination or dissolution of organization-based wisdom and an emphasis on  individual-based wisdom.
"Wait a minute, Kryon, that  doesn't make sense. Everybody knows that if you involve more people together,  you will get better results since the wisdom base is bigger." Really? Stand  by for an entirely different concept, dear ones. How many lifetimes has your  soul lived? Think of that as your own wisdom committee and pull on this, and  only this, for answers to everything. "That's crazy, Kryon! What about rules,  structure, common goals, and group efforts that help build ideas and energy? Are  we going to throw out basic common agreement? These principles are simply common  sense."
Dear one, how do I give you  concepts that you don't know about yet? Today's common sense is tomorrow's  foolishness if new information is available that antiquates them. Do you  understand? What if, just what if, the individual's wisdom factor, based on all  of his own past lives, created a set of parameters within him that were common  to all? What if, just what if, there is a sacred pattern available that is  common but only accessible individually? Then the individual discovers the  sacred answers from the other side of the veil instead of a committee of Humans   in a meeting. Ponder these things before you say that what you have as "common  sense" is actually something that is forever.
All of these kinds of things will  be new, and it's going to be like sticking a finger in the eye of many who have  spent a lifetime thinking that they knew it all, only to find there are those  who are moving beyond them, doing things they never thought were possible. So,  expect a split of those who just will not come along with these new things, and  many of them will be old souls.
Everything we are discussing in  this message falls right into the arena of interest of the old soul who is  reading this. There are old souls by the thousands who are reading this in the  future. I will tell you right now that I know you are. You're not just the new  hope of the planet, you always have been the hope of the planet. There's nothing  new except that, finally, it's going to get easier. But for a while, you must  understand the process of the shift and that change is not always seen as a good  thing. So tiptoe lightly into this new energy instead of blasting forth with new  truth. You're moving into the light in more ways than you ever have before and  even your "truth" may change.

The New-Old  Soul

Let  me summarize. We need you. You're not done, and nobody's leaving. There's going  to be more channels, there's going to be more helpful entities coming in.  Powerful information will be coming from sources you didn't think even had it.  You'll be able to discern whether it's real or not, and that will be easy. You  can tell by the energy of the delivery and by what is stated. All you'll have to  hear is a little bit of information and you'll know whether the channel is  pretending. That means that that part of you that is called sacred discernment  is going to increase.
You'll have better intuitive  powers, because they're not throwing themselves against darkness any more. All  this is going to happen slowly. But know this: We need you, and we need you to  get excited about what's ahead. You've just come out of a dark era of more than  30,000 years. I'm telling you yet again, dear one, that there'll come a day,  perhaps as soon as the next precession, when Human history won't even count the  years before 2012 as viable social study. That is what you're looking at right  now - the beginning of a new era.

The New  Children

I think the irony of this message  is this: The Human Being who sits in front of me says they're tired. They've  been battling a long time, and they will continue to as we recalibrate. When  they will pass over the veil, as they always do, they will come back as children  (of course), but their DNA will be different than any time before. As old souls,  they're never going to have to go through what they went through before, because  the old energy won't be the same. They will awaken with full knowledge of who  they are [new Akashic inheritance attributes].
As children, they will know and see  the colors [interdimensional sight]. As children, they will have an identity of  being an old soul [know they have lived before]. They'll know what they're here  for by the time they're 13 [have a good concept of life lessons]. But, that's  you! I've just described you - all of you! Old soul, this is one of the biggest  shifts you're ever going to see and it may take a generation, but it's going to  happen. And those who hear these words then and read these words then will know  I'm right, and they will reawaken on Earth with an entirely new paradigm of  consciousness reality.
Educators all over the world will  recalibrate their teachings because the kids are different. Yet again, these  things are not what you think. It's not just a new time, but rather it's a new  Human. The only thing we can say is we told you it would happen. I came in all  those years ago [1989] and I said you're not going to terminate yourselves as  your prophecy had told you; it's simply not going to happen. I told you there  were far better potentials. I told you to watch it happen. Watch  it!
But there  were those who were old souls who said, "No." They said that Kryon was  the evil of the century because I brought you information that flew in the face  of everything they expected. Here you sit in 2013 and could shout that, "I  was right." But instead I'm going to shout, "You were right." For you  created this shift. You brought me here. You took us through the shift, dear  one!
God bless  the Human Being and all they represent in the Universe.
And so it is.
Kryon
