Beloved shinning beacons of light on the Earth, we bow down to you with tremendous respect and love. We, your guides, friends and loved ones of the inner planes are here to support you as you move through an immense process of your ascension.

 Maybe you feel as if you cannot or do not fully understand why certain experiences, creations and expressions are manifesting in your reality, why you choose certain choices over others. I wish to share with you that the instruction book, the planned circumstances by your soul, the limitations and boundaries set for you and set by you in the past are now being cast aside. You are being rewarded for all your devotion to your spiritual connection and awakening with the reality that is free from limitations. There is no longer a goal to work to in a certain time, the clock is no longer ticking to push you forward along your spiritual path, and there are no longer goals that need to be achieved in or with certain limitations. In truth there is no longer a goal to be achieved. The boundaries, limitations, goals and inspiration which led you through the past phase of ascension are fal ling away. In truth you are being given responsibly and freedom. It could seem as if your purpose has been taken away from you. It is far easier to energise yourself and passion to achieve certain levels of growth when you feel that time is running short or when there is a goal post in sight. As you exist in this new reality and phase of energy, there is no goal post for you to strive to reach in a certain time. Your purpose remains the same, to experience oneness with the Creator and all aspects of the Creator, to master and know yourself and therefore the Creator more fully and to open your heart to be a channel of love and all that is the Creator. Your purpose has maybe never been so vivid but you now have the tools, the time, the freedom to achieve these goals as you wish, where you wish, with who you wish and in the time that you wish.

Ascension for you could take four days, five months, sixteen years or in truth as long as you choose. There are no set rules as to how long ascension should take, whether you achieve it in a group or as an individual, whether you choose to ask for help or not. There is no longer a wrong and right. In truth everything that you have held onto as truth in your reality and realisations about your spiritual self and practices is falling away. As if you are being suspended in space or suspended in energy. You are supported, loved and have the ability to choose and create all that you need in order to move further beyond limitations and boundaries. It may feel as if pre created security is now falling away. With greater freedom come experiences of being, having, doing, existing as nothing or without restrictions. In the past even time has brought you security and yet you notice that time doe sn’t have the same meaning any longer. You are being given and are creating your freedom, which is one of the greatest gifts of this new phase.

You may wish to contemplate the many situations, thoughts, perceptions and understandings that you hold on to in your reality to create a deeper sense of security. Allow yourself to see this as your creation alone and that they do serve you in awakening the power, strength and immense love within your being. Do you actually need security in your reality? Do you need to create boundaries and limitations? Do you need to recognise your limitless self and expansive being? I ask that you take time to practice this contemplation and self-discovery within your reality, if only once, to assist you in releasing from your being, energy and perspective energetic habits and patterns from the past.

With the quality of greater freedom that you have accepted within your reality so it may also bring up aspects of your reality, personality and creations that do not serve you or offer you freedom. As these aspects of yourself come to the surface to be released it can seem that you are being encaged and have less freedom than before. You begin to see yourself in many new ways which may not always be pleasant to witness. Some people may feel that they have more issues to deal with and heal than before 2012. The energy of freedom and responsibility is awakening new aspects of your being that wish to be healed and released.

Freedom for a light workers and awakened soul of the Creator is a powerful lesson to overcome and digest. You all expect and desire freedom but also fear freedom due to its ability of allowing you to access your power and sacred abilities. No longer is anything in your way, blocking you or hindering you, only what you choose to create. No longer is anything pushing and driving you forward and yet you are placed in the centre of freedom with the opportunity to choose whatever you wish. It can be an experience of exhilaration but also of being fearful.  There is also the question which many light workers face, which is how does one experience and interpret freedom and what does one choose to create? Through many lifetimes on the Earth you have been limited, restricted, condemned and maybe even abused for trying to be your truth, now is the time to truly let go of these past energie s, understanding that you have the freedom to choose to create what you wish. If so with many opportunities and possibilities available how does one choose what they wish to create?

The guidance, knowingness and truth of the soul is extremely important in this energy of freedom, your guides also act to you as a mirror of your soul and its guidance. Do not be afraid to ask or to follow the inspiration within you, it is this inspiration that will lead you to the experience of greater freedom. You may find at first that your personality isn’t satisfied with the guidance shared from within your being, but the perspective and desires of your personality also need to shift to bring greater happiness, joy, love and peace within your being.

You may also notice that due to the greater sense and energy of freedom that you are more aware of the consequence of your actions, thoughts and creations. Your awareness of the consequences of your situation is your own creation to assist you in choosing and understanding what is appropriate for you. You truly understand when you have created a situation that doesn’t serve you, but it is often that you see it as a failing when in actual fact it helps you understand yourself more fully, you begin to recognise your own vibration, realising when you create something that is not from your true vibration but is from a limited aspect of yourself. It is in this moment and phase of ascension that you are truly being allowed to experiment. This stage of ascension has been chosen by you because you have mastered abilities of connecting with the Creator, your truth and you have a beautifu l understanding and desire to create love. In truth you can trust yourself to deal with the freedom, the responsibility and choices with and from the purest sense of love which will ensure that you do not harm or cause pain to yourself or others. It is a very beautiful reality and stage of ascension that is now unfolding for you to experience. Enjoy the feeling of no longer being pushed to achieve goals, of no longer having boundaries and limitations. Enjoy the process of your own boundaries and limitations created by you coming to the surface and most of all enjoy becoming one and getting to know yourself more fully. It may be time to realise the reality that you are currently experiencing on the Earth, the game like quality and the powerful ability that you hold in your choices and your ability to manifest.

I am aware that there are many messages and interpretations within my message and communication with you but I wish for you to realise that you have the most beautiful gift within you of knowingness. Your ability to simply know the most perfect choice, truth and manifestation instantly within your being which will serve you and all aspects of the Creator is most beautiful and tremendously powerful, so allow yourself to use it well within your reality.

I wish to share with you an invocation to be of service to you,

‘Archangel Metatron, Beloved Creator, my soul and soul group, I call your presence and love forward to support and love me unconditionally. I ask you to assist me in listening with greater care and clarity to the intuition and knowingness within my being. I recognise my knowingness as guidance from the Creator which brings me freedom, truth and greater experiences of love. I accept my inner knowingness and am able to interpret it into my reality with ease with each new day upon the Earth.

I ask to accept the energies of freedom from the Creator deeper into my being. I realise and acknowledge I am the energy of freedom, I willingly dissolve all boundaries and limitations of my creation and let go of all energies, situations or people that represent security or a false security.

I realise that I have a powerful tool and ability of choice and manifestation; I ask that my ability is always aligned with the truth and love of the Creator and my soul. Support me as I adjust to the energy and reality of greater freedom allowing myself to become an expansive and limitless beacon of light. Assist me in understanding and experiencing this phase of freedom with tremendous ease and perfection.

Thank you.’

With blissful blessings,

Archangel Metatron

Being in love is a wonderful thing.

Everyone needs and deserves to feel that kind of love from both sides -- to love and be loved.

But love can be complicated these days . . .

Well, I suppose it may have always been at least a little complicated, but it's often more complicated in this modern age, because our lives are more complicated now.

And even when we are in love, it can be a challenge to make a relationship work in ways that are satisfying to both partners.

A recent poll of couples reported that only 30% consider themselves to be even "semi-happy."

That seems like a terrible shame, to have found a mate who feels like the right person for you, and still not be fulfilled in the relationship.

How about this incredible scene

If you thought Britain was cold how about this incredible scene? The picture shows a warehouse that was encased in ice after water used to put out a blazing inferno froze in Chicago. The city has been suffering from bitterly cold weather, making it difficult for firefighters. The sub-zero temperatures can seal shut fire hydrants, weigh down buildings and firefighters and make the ground treacherous with ice (Reuters)

Weather: Snow Storm Brings M6 To Standstill

Snow Storm Brings M6 To Standstill.- People Bilt Snowmen On The Carriageway

http://youtu.be/hA26AF0SQVQ

Hundreds of drivers spent up to eight hours trapped in their vehicles on the M6 in Lancashire after heavy snow brought the motorway to a standstill.

The motorway became blocked in both directions between junctions 25 and 27, near Wigan, on Friday night after vehicles became stuck in more than a foot of snow and some drivers abandoned their cars.

Many drivers were affected along the stretch between Wigan and Standish after struggling to make it up inclines in the treacherous conditions, while a number of accidents including jack-knifed lorries also blocked lanes.

Prime Minister David Cameroon tweeted: "Huge sympathy for those affected by heavy #uksnow. Govt working closely with transport operators to minimise impact on everyone."

Mountain rescue teams were brought in to help police and the Highways Agency clear roads and assist those who were stranded.

One man had to be taken to hospital after becoming ill in his car while it was stuck.

And some of the stranded drivers passed the time with snowball fights and building snowmen.

The M6, as well as the M56 and M58 which were also blocked, are now all moving again but remain heavily congested with long tailbacks, Lancashire Police said.

Motorists contacted Sky News overnight to share their tales of woe.

Kevin Collister, stuck on the motorway just past the M58 junction heading northbound, said: "There is absolutely no movement whatsoever on my side of the carriageway, all the snow is squashed down into ice and there are wagons trying to move and sliding sideways.

"It's an absolute nightmare, we've been here for three hours so far. A few people are saying we might be here for the night but we're just hoping we can get through."

Conservative MP David Morris, stuck on the southbound carriageway, said: "We've ground to a halt on both sides. Nothing is really moving.

"But the emergency services have been fantastic and are doing the best for us, and everyone is in good spirits.

"I've just seen a snowball fight and the man next door to me has built a snowman on top of his car roof ... it's very surreal."

Barry Pinches, on his way to Blackpool, told Sky News: "At one stage we didn't think we would make it but it looks like things are moving slowly now. We saw some snow ploughs on the southbound carriageway but there doesn't seem to be too many of them - they have their work cut out."

Pete Martin, from the Highways Agency, confirmed to Sky News that the carriageways had been gritted before the snow came down.

"We had an extremely intense fall of snow across Lancashire between 8.30pm and midnight and basically there wasn't enough traffic to keep the lanes moving," he said.

"A number of HGVs lost traction between junctions 25 and 27 and once they blocked the carriageway the snow stacked up and the result was a number of stranded vehicles."

The agency worked throughout the night to clear the routes with snow ploughs. It is urging those who had abandoned their cars to return to them as soon as possible.

A spokesman said: "With the rain falling and ice melting onto very cold road surfaces, we are now warning drivers of the danger of ice."

Hazardous driving conditions led to collisions and delays on many routes across the north of England, including the M18, M60, M65, M56 and M58.

Meanwhile, all flights were suspended at Leeds Bradford International Airport during the morning as a fresh blanket of snow covered most of the Yorkshire region.

North Yorkshire Fire Service said a couple had to be rescued from a snow drift on the North York Moors last night.

North Yorkshire Police said some main roads were blocked by snow and abandoned vehicles including the A59 between Harrogate and Skipton and the B6265 at Rylstone.

Weather experts have warned of the risk of flooding this weekend, as heavy rain moves in and rising temperatures spark a rapid thaw of the built-up snow and ice.

Reincarnation Evidence by Dr Ian Stevenson.

http://youtu.be/-pPBwFFWz_k

Some children can remember exact & verifiable details of their prior
life they never could have come to know in this their current child life.

These details can be objectively and independently confirmed…

Remarkably & quite biologically enigmatic: Some of them have birth
marks and birth defects at very same locations as the lethal injury
causing their often abrupt and violent past life death. Eg. Born with 5
missing fingers after a prior life accident where they were cut off...

Birthmarks at the exact location where they got gunshot wounds in their
prior life, which could be confirmed from the autopsy report of their
deceased individuality. Furthermore: Some can speak a language they
never have learnt in this life (xenoglossy) corresponding to their past
life language & nationality. They can in some cases remember names of
siblings and other family members in their past life family, who they
never have met in this life...

The pioneer on this research was the late Dr Ian Stevenson:

Ian Stevenson was a prominent and internationally-known psychiatrist, researcher,

Science, the Self, and Survival after Death: Selected Writings of Ian Stevenson is the
first book devoted to surveying the entirety of his work and the extraordinary scope and
variety of his research. He studied universal questions that cut to the core of a person’s identity:

What is consciousness? How did we become the unique individuals that we are?

Do we survive in some form after death? Stevenson’s writings on the nature of science and the
mind-body relationship, as well as his empirical research, demonstrate his strongly held belief
that the methods of science can be applied successfully to such humanly vital questions.

Featuring a selection of his papers and excerpts from his books, this collection presents the
larger context of Stevenson’s work and illustrates the issues and questions that guided him
throughout his career. Our esteemed colleague, Emily Williams Kelly,

Australia floods: Sunshine and Gold Coast covered in 'sea foam'

Tourists, residents and emergency services were left bemused by the huge swathes of foam which were whipped up by high winds and then thrown onto land in eastern Australia.

Foam fills Australian town by itnnews

This was the bizarre scene on Australia's Sunshine Coast over the weekend, where extreme weather has blanketed coastal towns with several feet of 'sea foam'.

Tourists, residents and emergency services were left bemused by the huge swathes of foam which were whipped up by high winds and then thrown onto land in eastern Australia.

Videos have emerged of cars attempting to navigate through the thick 'snow-like' sea foam in Alexandra Headland and nearby Mooloolaba.

The sea foam forms when powerful storms force water into the air before it is washed onto the beachfront.

The foam may have provided beachgoers with a unique photo opportunity, but it has also had serious consequences as local business have been affected during travel chaos.

The extreme weather has provided some spectacular images on the Sunshine Coast with foam being stirred up by the …

Onlookers said the foam reached three metres high at its peak, with emergency services urging residents and tourists to cancel all non-essential travel.

Dozens of Australians have been left stranded by severe flooding in northeast Australia in the last few days.

The extreme weather has also killed three people and affected thousands of homes.

Thousands have evacuated their homes across Queensland and neighbouring New South Wales with widespread flood warnings in the southern path of ex-tropical cyclone Oswald.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard said the "wild weather had broken a lot of hearts", with some Queensland residents experiencing their third flood in two years, including the devastating 2011 inundation which killed 35 people.

Worst of Queensland flooding still to come

Thousands of homes have been flooded by torrential rain in eastern Australia, and more rain and high winds are expected in Queensland and New South Wales.

Four people are reported to have been killed, including a three-year-old boy who was hit by a falling tree in Brisbane.

Officials are preparing for another day of evacuations after the Burnett River in Brisbane burst its banks.

Flood waters swept through homes in Ipswich in just half an hour, and residents used containers and canoes to save their belongings.

More than 2000 homes are underwater in the worst-affected city of Bundaberg, but that's not the most immediate concern for residents, who are just desperate to leave the area.

Many buildings in the region were destroyed in the floods two years ago, now locals are trying to save them from another flood.

The Gold Coast was spared major flooding - but there is plenty of damage as roofing was ripped off and boats driven ashore.

Further up the country in Queensland's Sunshine Coast, sea foam 3m deep covered streets and walk ways, whipped up by huge waves.

There was enough to almost cover a bus, and to completely cover a car.

Queensland premier Campbell Newman is urging residents to prepare for the worst in the coming days, with the Brisbane River set to peak at midday today.

Thousands urged to evacuate as Queensland floodwaters rise
http://www.3news.co.nz/Thousands-urged-to-evacuate-as-Queensland-floodwaters-rise/tabid/313/articleID/284687/Default.aspx?ref=vid_2012-11-22

With floodwaters rising in Queensland, 5000 Bundaberg residents are being urged to get out now – or risk their lives.

So far three people have died after being caught in the rushing water, and now a mandatory evacuation warning is in place after the Burnett River broke its banks.

An elderly man was washed out to sea when he went to check on his yacht in southeast Queensland. His body was recovered yesterday.

Today another two bodies were recovered, including that of a motorcyclist who was swept away whilst crossing a bridge.

Australian Deputy Prime Minister Wayne Swan says Bundaberg is one area which may be hit harder than it was in 2011.

“I’m told by people up there that this is likely to be the worst in the history, in terms of the level of the river – and that is posing some very special challenges up in that region.”

Currently 225,000 Queenslanders are without power, with the Bremer River and the Brisbane River also expected to cause major problems overnight.

Emergency responders are said to be extremely frustrated at needless rescues caused by people driving through floodwaters or going outside to watch rising rivers.

Deputy State Emergency Services Commissioner Steve Pearce says they've received more than 700 calls for help, and in some cases, rescuers are being forced to put their lives on the line because of foolish behaviour.

“The majority of flood rescues are [of] people attempting to drive through flooded roadways or causeways – so it’s people just rolling the dice, which is really concerning obviously,” he says.

Helicopters are scrambling to rescue those stranded on car roofs and houses, while 1200 properties are flooded in the east coast city of Bundaberg, 385km north of the state capital Brisbane. Most parts of the city are expected to be underwater at some stage.

Deputy Mayor David Batt told ABC Radio on Monday that hundreds of people need to be evacuated from their homes.

Queensland State Premier Campbell Newman says emergency crews are trying to rescue 30 people trapped on roofs in city.

In Ipswich, around 40km west of Brisbane, Mayor Paul Pisale is bracing for the worst, saying that after the deadly 2011 floods it's a case of déjà vu.

“I know I’m finding it very hard to deal with the emotional stress this morning, just talking with people,” he says.

“They’ve worked their guts out to get to this situation and now [ex-cyclone] Oswald’s come around and just kicked them in the guts – it’s very, very hard emotionally for me to feel, as you can imagine, what my community’s feeling at the moment.”

While the water peak is not expected to reach the levels seen in the devastating Queensland flood two years ago, 5000 homes are expected to be inundated.

The tail end of ex-cyclone Oswald is due to hit Sydney tonight.

In many ways last year was easier than this past month of January for me.
After all I had a goal.
I had inner direction.
My heart told me that the goal was to release,clear and let go of anything that did not serve the highest good.
And I had a deadline.
December 21st,2012.

I understand deadlines.
Was always very good at meeting them.
Tell me what needs to happen,what I need to do, give me direction and I am gone.
And so it was that December 21st came and went, and for me my whole world changed as I experienced a deeper,stronger,more expansive connection with my Source.
So the deadline helped me to reach for something,helped me to keep going,gave me something to aim for.
I accepted the emotional releases, and everything else, because I had a purpose...

But now?
I no longer have a carrot guiding me as I move forward into this uncharted spiritual territory.

The energies have been intense.
When emotional releases occur...they are a doozy.
And my body is also taking an energetic beating...
Had a crazy virus going on, my throat,my head,my lungs, which is now finally better...
(I feel this was a release of dormant illness within me that the energies released)
And the headaches have intensified hugely, often so debilitating that I lose a day...
(I feel that this has to do with my pineal gland and changes occurring in my brain)
I am goofy as can be.
I forget things so easily.
Got no sense of time.

Find myself looking at a world that looks the same...but feels so different.
Like an overlay of energies on top of what I see,as if things are not quite real.
I completely stopped remembering my dreams, almost feeling like at night I go into the void and no dreaming occurs.
Nausea comes and goes and my eating habits are plain weird.

Am I here?
Am I there?
So after last year, this month has kicked my butt.
And it can be so easy to question myself...for I no longer have a finish line to conquer, a race to finish.
A reason to do.

So now for me the main question is "Now what?"

I feel that last year was the year to balance the energies of the earth.
So much fear was attached to the 21st of December that it needed to be balanced with love so that the end of the world scenario did not manifest.
So that the shift could occur for the highest good of all in a non-destructive manner.
And I feel this was all accomplished beautifully.
We are still here.

And now I need to walk my path.
I need to set my own goal, for myself, guided from within.
This can be hard,because all my life I have had goals, something to DO.
Outside influences dictated how I lived my life.

And now I just need to BE.

Big difference for me.
The difference between doing and being.

So while I feel last year was for the earth,this time is for me.
For as I become more connected, as I remember more, then that is when I can be the change I want to see in the world.
I can live my life in the Light.
Help the beautiful souls around me who are awakening.
And I see it, this awakening all around me, and it brings such joy to my heart.

With no rush.
With no deadlines.
With not expectations.
With no judgement.

And this is my new carrot.
My wish to continue to remember, to become who I really am.
And I have to admit that I am looking forward to seeing all the change I feel is happening within me.
Physically.
Emotionally.
Spiritually.
In every way possible.
And I am perfectly okay with that.

So now many seem to be in uncharted spiritual territory as well as myself.
Feeling lost.
With no direction.
Like a rolling stone...(woke up this morning with the Bob Dylan song playing in my head LOL)

But it will sort itself out.
Things always do.
And on those day when it gets hard, I reach out to my Source and I connect with nature.
I baby myself and I remind myself that I am not just a body.
That I am so much more.
And that I am finally free to just be me.
And that I am not alone, never was,never will be.

Thank you my beautiful family for going through this with me, as we all explore this amazing new world filled with Light.
Together.
Shine On
In Light and Love

Hello to every one I am new I am rather tired so will keep it short and just say hello for the time being, love Monica xx

My dear friends, we love you so very much,

Today we will speak about the nature of patience. As we look into your hearts dear ones we see so many of you anxious and eager to “get on” with your lives. This is wonderful! You are excited. You have dreams and plans that cause your heart to jump for joy! And while we love that you are looking to the future with such zeal, we also know that being fully immersed in your present day, celebrating what you can find to enjoy in each moment, then you will create a vibration to draw you forward into that very future you desire so much faster. For as we have said on so many occasions, the universe always provides you with a match for the energies you are sending out – both consciously and unconsciously.

For example, say you want to create a new career. When you think of doing something that fulfills you you sigh with relief. You feel excited. You can’t wait to get going. However, if you want to create that new career faster, then dear ones, don’t go into your present job with a heavy heart, saying, “I can’t wait until this is over. I can’t wait to get out of here,” because then you are not putting out the highest vibration into the universe. Instead say, “Well here I am, and I am excited that I am creating better, but let me put as much love as possible into my day, right here and right now.” In this vibration of love, all things come so much more quickly!

Likewise say you want to create more financial prosperity in your lives. By all means sit and visualize and feel how life will be like with more money. Enjoy imagining all the wonderful things you will do with this money. But if you want to create it, don’t in your very next breath allow yourself to feel trapped and limited by your current circumstances! That puts a vibration of lack out to the universe. Instead find what abundance you can find now, in this day. Look at the sunset! You are rich! Hear the birds singing! You are wealthy. God gives you so many gifts right now. Yes, we hear you right now. Appreciating the birdies doesn’t pay the bills,” you say. Dear ones, we say, yes it does, for the vibration of gratitude and a full heart will always attract everything you truly want and need. An appreciation of the richness of life seeks out and attracts more.

Patience, dear ones, comes from faith in God’s love and an understanding of how the entire universe works. Patience is an appreciation for what you have right here and right now. It is a willingness to seek the love, the abundance, the joy, right here and and right now, knowing that God loves each and every one of you so much that what you truly want and need will come in right timing, when and if you are in the energy to attract it. You have lessons to learn here upon the earth. You are exactly where you need to be.

Perhaps you need to “try out” the belief that you are loved. Every time you feel fearful or impatient, simply say, “I know you love me God. I trust you will move me in the right directions. I know you care about my heart and my dreams, because you put these dreams in my heart to begin with.” Then you go about your day, patiently knowing that God is with you and God cares. Patience should not be associated with a willingness to suffer through your days until they get better! Patience should arise naturally because you choose happiness now.

How is it you have the patience to bake a cake, but you cannot wait for your manifestations knowing that if you combine the right ingredients within yourself, and warm them with the vibrational frequency of love, surely they will arise into the heavens and give you back such sweetness? Impatience is fear wearing a mask. Impatience is pulling the cake out of the oven to check on it, to pacify your fears, and thereby ruining it. Impatience is digging the seeds you planted out of the ground to see if they have sprouted yet, thereby ruining their growth. Impatience is putting out a vibration that interferes with your creations.

So dear ones, practice patience, for in truth you are practicing living in a reality of truth, where you know and choose to focus on the fact that you are deeply and dearly loved.

God Bless you! We love you so very much.
– The Angels

, JANUARY 22, 2013

"I AM St Germain. And I bring you the greetings of all of us who come as Lights - Light bodies, and in my case, in body. To be here with you on this momentous day, and on behalf of Mother/Father God, I will say that God is so grateful to have been included in every part of the inauguration which took place yesterday in Earth time, because this country was founded in Divine Inspiration, and indeed is to be a model for the entire World, and yes, the Universe beyond!

"Freedom - that is my responsibility, which I have taken on joyfully and unreservedly, on behalf of all of the people of Planet Earth. And I humbly submit to you that I have been quite instrumental at times in inspiring the many difficult steps that have needed to be taken to bring this Freedom to Planet Earth. That song expresses all that the United States of America was founded to be.*

"Now you all know that there has not been an easy transition to even get to where we are on this day. But you all know that I and the others have been with you this entire time, even when the times seemed so dark! I was with the Founding Fathers of this country. I have been made welcome since then, most notably by your President Lincoln, and yes, by your President Kennedy, and many others who have walked the halls of Congress, and your Courts, and your state and local governments, whose ideals sometimes have been called foolish, and sometimes have called for the highest sacrifices that they could make. But they have persevered, as have I!

"There never has been any question of giving up, despite those who have been in control all of these millennia of time, even when it seemed as though they would give the victory in what you call your Second World War to the one called Hitler. And that was their plan at first until - not for any humanitarian purposes you must understand - but until they realized that they might not be able to control Hitler, they threw their weight to the Free World - the so-called Free World.

"There has been divisiveness deliberately created. There have been lies and propaganda throughout the ages. But now the Light is shining so bright, there is no question, no question at all that Freedom is here, and Freedom -restoration of Freedom, or shall we say making true all that the United States of America stands for in theory, is about to happen!!! Be ready! Stand tall! Yes, be courageous, but most of all be Love! It is by being Love, sharing Love, and providing examples of the Love You Are, that you will teach and inspire others to do the same!

"Now I would make some comments. Yes, I was standing with Obama the entire time. I AM with him constantly. He walks with me and with Sananda, because he understands that Freedom is more than just a set of written laws, more even than what is given in your Declaration and your Constitution, more than is given in the Emancipation Proclamation, or in the Dream of Dr. King.

"Yes, Dr. King came to the Mountaintop, and it is so wondrous that his birthday celebrated not only the Freedom, but the inauguration of Obama on the same day - imagine! Mother/Father God was everywhere. The Ashtar Command was totally in charge. I was with everyone in that vast audience. If you watch it, and you see when the cameras focused upon the crowd, and everyone was waving those flags, the red, white, and blue flags - the color that showed was purple! It was a sea of purple, lavender, blue-violet, purple - my colors! That was the people together as One; one great community, one great audience of Joy!!!

"There are those who saw me there. I AM more visible than some of the Ascended Ones. I AM finding it quite useful to take on the appearance of the human, that is, a body. Oh, I'm a little Lighter, and I'm a little shorter than the average, as suits me. It's particularly useful when I make an appearance, because you see I'm still Light enough, even in the body of the human, that I can walk through the walls!

"I'm sure you can imagine the drama that occurs. Why am I doing drama? It's to get the point across. It's to get the point across to those who think only of power, and enslaving others so that they can be powerful, and rich, and all of that, and so meeting some of their delusions with a bit of drama can get the point across.

"They knew I was there yesterday. There were many of them there in the audience, participants even in the ceremonies - they knew I was there. They were a bit uncomfortable, but that is all right, because sometimes it is best to make someone shake a little bit, or we should say shake them up a bit - not to frighten them, but simply to jar loose some of the most stuck of programs! Get them to focus upon what's really important: 'How does jail sound to you? Then why do you want to imprison your brothers and sisters in any way? If you don't think it feels good, why do you want them to feel bad?'

"In other words, they're getting a pretty heavy dose of 'Walking in their brothers' and sisters' shoes.' And it's working! They know their day is done. And yes, they're going to try some shenanigans, but the great Freedom which has come is here, and if you did not catch this before, go back. Obama had some 'help' with his speech, and he was exuberant, because he could finally say these things that he has been wanting to say all this time, but he has had to understand.

"And with great humility, and dedication, he has allowed those who would continue to enslave to do their thing, in order to enable greater understanding, and in order to inspire people to appreciate their new Freedoms, while at the same time listening to Mother/Father, and all the messengers who counsel Love, and Compassion, and Forgiveness, and Gratitude, and Peace in the Heart. It starts - Peace on Earth starts in the individual Hearts. And so it is that we see such a bright road ahead!

"Look for Truth. You know this one, this Voice, asked why Obama did not wear a purple tie, and I told her it was because he wore the Blue of Truth, because it is time for Truth to come out, and Archangel Michael is very much with him, and counseling!

"So, this is a most momentous time for all of you, and for all of us who come to be in loving assistance and guidance to you! And I should like, while we are together in this most precious time, I should like for all of us to join together in what I will call a Pledge of Commitment to Being Citizens of the Golden Age. And so I shall ask if you would repeat after me, and if you would, do what is necessary to open up the lines,** so that we can all be heard. I shall say the first phrase - we have done this before - and then you can repeat it after me:

WITH LOVE AND JOY ~ WE COME TOGETHER ~
TO CELEBRATE OUR NEW FREEDOMS!

AND THUS IT IS ~ THAT WE RISE EVEN HIGHER ~
IN OUR PURPOSEFUL DIRECTIONS,

AS WE FULFILL ~ THE PROMISES MADE ~ LONG AGO ~
WHEN WE ALL FIRST CAME HERE ~
FOR THE EXPERIENCES OF THE MISSION ~
THAT WE COMMITTED TO.

NOW WE HAVE REACHED ~ THE GOLDEN AGE ~
WHICH WE HAVE BEEN STRIVING FOR ~
THROUGHOUT EONS OF TIME.

AND WE STAND TOGETHER ~
IN OUR COMMUNITY OF LIGHT ~ OF TRUTH ~ AND OF LOVE.

AND WE PROCLAIM ~ OUR FREEDOM ~
TO LIVE OUR DIVINE LIVES ~ IN MISSION AND SERVICE ~
IN THE ONENESS ~ OF THE COMMUNITY ~ WE ARE!!!

AND SO IT IS ~ AND SO IT SHALL BE ~ ALWAYS AND FOREVER ~
FROM THIS MOMENT ON!
NAMASTE!

"Well, Beloved Ones, I, St Germain, congratulate all of you. I know that there might have been some interference on the line, but it makes no difference. You were heard, and it is not just we gathered here who heard you! Our sounds, our words, and indeed the Light from our Hearts went out throughout all of Planet Earth and Beyond. And I salute you all in the Brother/Sisterhood of the One We Are. And I tell you that your lives are now free to be as easy as you choose them to be! Your Abundance is unlimited, and most of all your Light shines so bright that you truly are Leaders in Freedom and Peace unto all of the World!!!

"Thank you so much for being with us, and if you will, please accept the special Roses of Kumara, which are Lavender, just for you, for this occasion. Put them into your Hearts, and know that you were here, and you can listen, and repeat this pledge as often as you wish. It will only raise you Higher and Higher in your vibrations as you feel the energy of our Community of Love, and Light, and Service.

"And so we all thank you for being One With Us. We love you beyond words, and we rejoice that We Are One With You. And so it is! Namaste!"

* My Country 'Tis of Thee, sung by Kelly Clarkson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQaV7JI2S6s

As channeled by Simon NightStarr

You cannot perform an action without a sense of "self." Try it. It cannot be done! Higher Self asks you to be more honest with your Self, your Divine Self. You cannot separate your actions into two categories of "selfishness" and "selflessness," for even the act of trying to do so is a selfish act. All actions are selfish, and this is the only way to behave. Your human definitions of selfish are not what Higher Self understands selfishness to be. For Me, there is no moral right or wrong about any action. Yes, you have karma in your world, which is simply the law of cause and effect, and nothing more, but there is no judgment against any of your human behaviors.

I see all your actions as equal expressions of your belief in your "self" as you define yourself. All humans have a sense of self; even your infants have a sense of self that is expressed from their own soul. All of you, whether you are aware of this or not, always act with an inner knowing that when you give you will receive in return. Most humans are very dishonest about this, often pretending to have "selfless" motives for doing certain things. Nothing is selfless, because you obviously always have a self. Even Higher Self is not "selfless." Everything I do is selfishly done for My enjoyment, even as I hold an intention to share My joy with you.

Now here is something very important for you to understand. The reason why many high-level spiritual teachers and spirit guides often encourage you to be "selfless" is because they are speaking of surrendering your ego, your lower self, to your Higher Self. They are very aware that even they still have an ego, or else they wouldn't have a personality. You NEED ego in order to have incarnation. Even angels have ego, because they are incarnated beings; not incarnated in the same sense that you are in heavy density, but nevertheless they are still beings, and all beings must have a sense of self, regardless to whatever degree a sense of self is identified with. That is why you have the term in many of your channelings, "multidimensional self," because even those entities that know themselves as a "collective" are still operating from a sense of one-self. This is not easy for most of you to comprehend, because the idea of there being just One Universal Self is not something the ego really wants to embrace, even with all its talk of there being only one God, or one Source. Higher Self sees God and Divine Self as One and the same Being.

Because most humans still identify so heavily with their human identities (even most of you who identify yourselves as "spiritual"), with their jobs, labels, beliefs, definitions, emotions, conditioning, etc., it is no wonder why Higher Self must often use the concept of being "selfless" in order to deprogram you and gradually wake you up from your sleep of perceiving yourself as so "different" and separate from others and from God. The ego even uses the concept of "I am spiritual" to try and separate itself from others who are perceived as just "religious," "non-spiritual," "atheist," etc. Just more convenient boxes and labels for the ego's erroneous thought system! Let Me remind you that you are ALL spiritual, for spiritual actually means "of Spirit," and that is what you all are, regardless of whether or not you have a "spiritual practice." Consider this: Every lifetime, each incarnation, is a spiritual practice, for God is Spirit, and Spirit is "practicing being human" through each of Its human incarnations, just as a dog is really God pretending to be a canine.

When I speak of "surrendering ego," I never imply that you will not have any sense of an ego or a self as you become more enlightened. That is why you have your term, "Self-realization." Simply because humans are supposed to realize the Self (Divine Self), awaken to the Self, not dispense with It. As a little joke, you already have ego-realization. That is the way you wanted it to be before you incarnated. However, as a soul you also knew that you were giving yourself another opportunity to make further spiritual progress in the illusory playground of space/time reality, and part of this process involves becoming disillusioned with the very ego, the very "little self," that you agreed to embody. Practically speaking, surrendering ego is simply a process of loosening your grip on your limited self-definitions about who you think you are, and learning to quiet the mind enough that it begins to receive clear glimpses of the Clear Light that exists behind the dark veil of fear and ignorance.

Higher Self doesn't advise you to make a big deal of trying to rid yourself of ego, of a sense of self. This is the grand mistake that so many humans make in their spiritual practices, whether of a non-dualist, Buddhist, Judeo-Christian, pagan or any tradition. The Buddha knew that "after enlightenment" he still had a sense of self, and that he still had desire, and that he was still growing and expanding in consciousness (and that this would continue even post mortem). It is those masses who are not perceiving Divinity at a level that he was that may make the mistake of assuming that one must somehow totally give up desire or one's sense of self in order to be like the Buddha or like Jesus--yet this is impossible for any human to do, including your "avatars" as you may term them. It is always those who do not deeply understand such "avatars" as you term them who metaphorically place such HUMANS upon pedestals (or in some cases, as beneath them), and greatly distort their teachings. Again, the universal teaching, for example with the Tao, that "Ever desiring, one sees the manifestations; ever desireless, one sees the Source" is not intended to persuade humans to give up all desire, which is impossible, but rather to not be a slave of your desires. Perhaps some of you that read this are truly ready now to stand firm in a solid conviction that you will always have a sense of self, and thus desire, until you are totally done with the illusion of incarnation/manifestation/separation and realize that all along you are God.

Although all actions are selfish, recognize that in your illusion of duality you have two basic types of "selves," Higher Self and ego. In this sense, Higher Self is "love-ish" and ego is "fear-ish." The only power that you possess is the power of discernment, the power of choosing one or the other. You can never really serve two masters, even while your subconscious mind can hold contradictory beliefs and intentions. Why? Because both the emotions love and fear are aspects of consciousness, and Divine Consciousness is the True Master. It is ultimately seen that your entire lifetimes--all of them in entirety--are in service to soul consciousness as it awakens to Divine Awareness, which is God-Realization. This is Home, and in Home there are no "mistakes," meaning no choosing of fear, and not even "choosing love" as you may perceive it. Home IS Unconditional Love, you see.

As channeled by John Smallman 
johnsmallman2.files.wordpress.com

Humanity is undergoing an immense and much needed healing. It is part of the process that is bringing you forwards to full wakefulness.

For many it is stirring up strong feelings and emotions that are not familiar, either because they have been deeply buried, or because they are relating to karmic issues from previous life times that have not yet been cleared, or they may be related to friends, relatives, or even work associates for whom they have agreed to carry and release some of the load that person is working with.

If this is your path you will likely be experiencing unsettling mood swings to which you are unaccustomed. Do not engage with them. Observe them and let them go, because that is all that you need to do. If you engage with them they will intensify, confusing you, and making it more difficult for you to release them.

If this does happen, just relax into a meditative state and intend to release them. And if you are too emotionally involved to relax into that state, then remind yourselves that your intent is to release them, and then do something to distract you from the intense feelings that have arisen - take a walk, have something to eat, go and hang out with a friend - until they subside.

Humanity has a lot of old memories that need releasing. Hanging on to old memories of being offended, punished, tortured, or killed feeds the dying embers of the remaining negative energy fields that have for so long driven you into conflict and war.

Holding on to grudges, resentments, insults, and offenses has for eons supported the negative energies that have consistently led you into fear and anger, and fueled an overwhelming desire for vengeance and retribution - a desire that can never be satisfied because it becomes all-consuming.

The only way out of this endless loop of violence begetting violence is to refuse to engage with it. For many who remain deeply asleep, unaware of their need to evolve spiritually, it seems insane not to seek justice and restitution.

They do not realize that what they seek is what everyone else is seeking, seeing only the wrongs against themselves and not seeing, or refusing to see, the wrongs in which they themselves have engaged.

Love is your essence. It is indestructible and infinitely persistent, and all will succumb to Its gentle and loving embrace which is constantly reaching up to you from the inner depths of your being. There is not one of you who is not receiving intuitive guidance to forgive those who have hurt you, but your egos resist because when you give in, as you all will, they lose their power.

Your ego is a part of you that appears to be split off, separate, and which runs with its own fear-filled and self-centered agenda, thinking that it can destroy the opposition and rule the world.

Most humans discover its limitations during childhood and learn to negotiate with other egos to form alliances, easing the terror of separation or loneliness, but a few will not negotiate or compromise and are either quickly defeated or rise to become dictators of one sort or another as their egos take complete control of them - gurus, father figures, industrial bosses, politicians, church leaders - and spend their earth lives sowing seeds of distrust and betrayal as they attempt to achieve positions of power that they think will make them invincible.

Of course they cannot succeed, but they frequently convince others that safety can only be achieved by holding positions of authority backed up by the force of arms.

Humanity is evolving spiritually, and the rate of that evolution has increased enormously during the last fifty or sixty years, which is why you now see so many - not ego-driven but loving beings - actively involved in bringing peace and harmony to the planet as they strive to raise humanity’s awareness of the insanity of the old ways.

Nevertheless, the energy of the old ways still maintains its hold on those who have bought into authoritarian attitudes as a way to feel secure, and the results of that are apparent in areas where the authorities continue to maintain order by means of enforcement.

You, the Light-holders and wayshowers, are changing that by extending outwards from yourselves the ever-intensifying, divine field of Love, into which you are permanently integrated and anchored, and by intending to share it with all of humanity.

You have been doing this for most of your present earth life time, ever since you awoke to the reality of your essential spiritual nature and became aware that your reason for being embodied was to assist in this massive task of bringing all of your brothers and sisters home to their natural state of living consciously in peace, harmony, and abundance.

The intent for that state is spreading through your collective consciousness and will not be denied, despite the efforts of those who would maintain the old structures that have been dividing you and setting you against one another for so long.

Their time is past, and their power structures are crumbling though poor maintenance and lack of support. Love is sweeping across the planet and melting all resistance. Know that this is so, that it is the divine plan, that it cannot fail, and continue to focus on the Light within you so that it blazes out more and more enticingly to induce all with whom you interact by thought, word, or physical presence to go within and find their own Light blazing there and intending to be seen and shared.

You are divinely supported in every moment, and your Father’s Will for Love to prevail, which is also yours, will not be denied.

Your loving brother, Jesus.

We salute those of you who have continued to wear the mantle of Love and Light, and are making a path into the New Age. The goals you are aiming for are nearer than ever, and your persistence in helping them manifest will soon bring results. With the dark Ones in retreat and unable to muster sufficient support to continue as before, our allies are making much quicker progress. Many actions are coming to a head, and we hope to arrange for some really positive signs to convince you. We refrain from giving precise details as so many factors are involved, but we try to give you some indication of what is happening. Currently all matters are proceeding satisfactorily and now less likely to be changed due to any outside interference. The foundation for the changes was laid down a long time ago, and about to yield results.

Disclosure is forging ahead from many sources, and knowledge and understanding of our presence is spreading far and wide. More people with first hand experience are coming forward, which gives confidence to others to come out with what they know. It is all building up to the time when an official announcement can be made, that will allow us to show ourselves. Be assured we will do it in a gentle way that will not overwhelm those who have still not accepted us. Our principal aim is to enlighten people as to our role in your evolution, and how we have followed your progress over thousands of years. We know how important it is to calm those who fear our presence, and we re-iterate what we have often pointed out, that at no time have our actions been threatening to you. We are not to be confused with the Greys who work with your black operations, or your military’s own secret craft.

Over a period of many years attempts have been made to blacken our name, but we have prevented such events from happening. We foiled a recent “false flag” attack from outer space that was to depict us as invaders of your Earth. We will not allow Space to be violated by you, and many attempts to explode nuclear devices in it have been stopped. Although we have not been allowed to stop all wars, we have put a stop to nuclear devices being used to start a Third World War. We have stopped the total destruction of Earth on a number of occasions since the end of your last World War, and have succeeded in ensuring you are all here today to witness the end of the last cabal. We have also ensured that although there has been attempts to prevent you reaching Ascension, you have arrived in the New Age. We shall continue to protect you, but our desire is to work with you as soon as possible and get the changes fully under way.

It is pleasing to see how quickly you have set aside your disappointment at the nature of Ascension as experienced on the 21st. December. After such a long period working towards it, it is natural that you expected it to lift you up considerably more than it did. Yet, you have been lifted into a higher vibrational level as some of you are now realizing. The most noticeable change has been in a greater degree of control and calmness, and an ability to express a level of Unconditional Love that you may not have felt previously. The overall affect is of feeling at One with All That Is and the realization that you are all connected. Have you not been often told that what you do to one, you do to all as you are inextricably joined to each other through the energy of God. Let us say that you are all joined in immutable Love, and now that you have opened up yourselves to the higher forces you are recognizing the God within.

We do not want to make light of your disappointment from what you have experienced, but ask yourselves what is of the most importance right now. We hope you will say helping to manifest the New Age and bringing the Golden Age into being. It all exists in the higher realms and the more you become of the Light, the quicker you will bring it down through the Law of Attraction. It is much like your City of Light that awaits the final refinements before it appears, and that it is not far away as you reckon time. What is now in the past cannot be changed, but bear in mind all happens in a particular way because you will it to be so.

Of course the Lightworkers put in an immense amount of effort to bring out the highest expression of Ascension. Instead of receiving criticism they should be thanked for their tireless efforts over many years to bring the Light and Love to Earth. They are wholly committed to their life contracts, and that does not come without much sacrifice on their part. They do not seek recognition for there dedication, but sometimes it is nice to be acknowledged for the work they put in. By now all of you have some idea as to what your place is in the New Age, and what is expected of you. At the very least project your Love and Light at every opportunity and you will be doing as much as can be expected of anyone. You do not all have to be in a major role, as you are part of the team and believe us that every contribution counts as far as the outcome is concerned.

This year is going to be exciting so walk your talk, and spread your confidence in the future everywhere you go. Many people are still weighed down by the actions of the dark Ones, and desperately need uplifting. The quickest way out of it is to turn your back on it, and engage yourself and your energies in all that connects to the vision you hold of the future. You are so privileged to be on Earth at this time, and you knew all along what the outcome would be. You knew it was to be your civilizations coming of age, and that your ultimate gift would be your elevation as a Galactic Being. However, do not expect it all at once as it depends on your progress which you make at your own pace. There is no deadline and there is no pressure on anyone to go faster than what they feel comfortable with, so do not feel that you are lagging behind.

I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and tell you on behalf of the Galactic Federation of Light, that we are as close to you as we can get for the time being. Our allies are growing in confidence and we really do expect some notable progress very shortly. Our Love goes out to you as always, and to everyone without exception.

Thank you SaLuSa.
Mike Quinsey.
