Message from SaLuSa for 19 May 2010

yeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh.

I agree with you phil. You know lately when I read the messages from Salusa I could actually feel his presence physically and soulfully. I am glad he pointed out the fact that all these beings helping us have sacrificed so much and they have no expectations of rewards and acknowledgement. I make it a habit to thank them everyday. We should all thank them daily.
Phil I dont know much about this george guy, was trying to find out more but had no time. Well good mourning everyone and I know you will love this new message from Salusa. With each message it seems soon is right around the corner.

Yes,you’re so right John about the need to thank them daily.
What they are doing it for is simply “the satisfaction of helping souls”.This is such a blessing! And this transpires undoubtedtly through their messages.
If that isn’t divine,what is?

I agree on what Admiral said on Kavassilas’ behalf.
It seems he’s on a crusade,a mission to stimulate fear for the GLF and ET’s in general.I’m personally staying far away from his messages.There’s a smell if you ask me.

…good morn’n Gunner, Big Boss go’n for coffee yet?

Admiral 7 hey give yourself some credit as I am sure at least you have attained 50 percent of these wualities or more. Who da best? We da best. Here is my rundown from the list
1. sometimes 2. sometimes 3 Yes 4. sometimes 5 difficult for me because of the money situation but I am thankful for everything I do have. 6.7. 8. yes 9 no 10 sometimes 11 and 12 yes

From Salusa above:
“As part of the One you are learning that whatever you do affects all else, and that you have a responsibility to bring yourself into harmony and alignment with all life. When sufficient of you can do so you are instrumental in lifting up each other. Your higher energies also help increase the power of the Light grids around Earth, and that is another way in which you can serve.”

OK guys and gals….
I come in peace… I am always amazed at the impecable flow of our lives. I had already written this last night to post today before reading how Salusa is saying very similar things to us here in his message!

I found myself writing a whole new kind of message to post here, since receiving clarity about what happened among some of us on Monday.

What I feel about this site is that it is a great place for people to meet and hang out and talk and share about a wide range of issues pertaining to the present state and process of life we all find ourselves in, and being the creators of. I have no qualms nor judgments; and I certainly have not “copped an attitude”! I am simply heeding the pull of my inner knowing telling me to move on from what no longer feels to be the BEST fit for me.

After reading responses to my posts on Monday, (and thanks to those who posted them), I began feeling the pull to share again, but on a more down-to-brass-tacks level. From some of the responses, I see that what I offer here does make a positive difference to some of you, and yet at times I also see that what I mean to express is often misinterpreted. I realize that is because I need to make my sharing more “relateable”….maybe more descriptive. I write because I can’t not…..it is the gift I’ve been given to share in my service to others. For that reason, its effectiveness does matter to me. So, I am going to try a different tack here, and see where it goes.

I am NOT writing this and future posts from my ego or because I want to talk about myself, as some may have felt in the past. I am writing this to show what my process of awakening has asked of me, and how I have allowed it to unfold. I do this because I feel so passionately that we each have both the right and responsibility to do what it takes to REMEMBER WHO WE CAME HERE TO BE!! Like, when the call came out to us from our Creator, and we knew in a heartbeat that we could do this, and that we WANTED TO DO THIS, we raised our hands and WE VOLUNTEERED!! We were told we would forget, that it would be hard, and that we would have to work to remember why we came, but that THEY NEEDED US TO DO OUR JOBS ONCE THE TIME CAME!! And so….I feel it is VITAL to get it that our jobs are NOT to just limp through the changes, hanging onto our duality mind. Our jobs are to CHOOSE, through the conscious use of our free will…..to remember and BECOME once again, our God/Spirit-centered selves, THEREBY DOING WHAT IT TAKES to release our Duality-minded, self-centered, brainwashed, fear-based, survival-mode self. THIS is why I write what I will be writing to you now. I’ve included this link here for you to see as inspiration!

Welcom back ARR. I know you dont write from the ego. Like most of the messages say service to others is a reward in and of itself. It makes me feel so good when I post a message on my different blog sights and I get a response that the message really touched that person oh boy i when I see the comments I just want to fly high in the sky and do a flip. I also read the comments and call on the being who wrote the message to let them know your time is not wasted (although they dont exist in a timeline) but you really are touching and helping others so much. Gotta copy this message anbd blog . ARR did you see they suspended me from united star seeds I cant stop laughing for their reasons that i HAD POSTED ON THE PREVIOUS sALUSA MESSAGE.

OIL CLEANUP WORKERS FROM HOUSTON KICKED OUT OF ALABAMA, MISSISSIPPI

Dozens of Houstonians traveled to Alabama and Mississippi last week with the promise that they would earn good money for helping to clean up the massive oil spill in the Gulf.

They expected to work for a few months. Instead, they were bused back to Houston after three days without any money or answers

http://www.khou.com/news/khou-94197134.html

I have been reading on this site for about 6 months now and have posted only 2 or 3 times before. This is an observation in response to the scenario playing out between ARR and others:

Imagine yourselves as a group of friends getting together in person. Someone makes a comment or asks a question. The response from the person next to him/her includes very personal information that makes others feel uncomfortable.

I consider myself very green spiritually compared to most of you here but I realize that doesn’t make me any less or anyone else any more.

Thank you all for a great community.

To me the things between ARR and others is really no big deal. Hey some days we all get frustrated and blow up at someone but it is nothing to get alarmed at. We just turn the page.Gotta let off steam once in a while.

observation #18…Thank you for your post. What I am learning though is that the time is here for that which feels uncomfortable to come up to the surface so we may face it and choose to realize that it is not part of who we REALLY are. This is no longer the time to protect our asleep 3D selves….it is time to lovingly allow and help them to come out into the light of day, where they can be released and transmuted. This is what we are all here to do. The more we can start to recognize that we feel uncomfortable and SAY THAT, the less we will need to react and feel threatened.

As we all know, we do not get instruction manuals for how to grow into ourselves, and the truth is, nothing does! Plants and animals just be where they are in every NOW moment, in their perfect process of becoming more and more of what they are. They do not feel separate from the process and so they simply ARE the process of creation unfolding AS that manifestation.

And so, this awakening process for us is about consciously moving back into that flow of perfection, with the added bonus of being the conscious co-creators OF the creation and the Beings we are becoming. But many are still unknowingly UNconsciously creating ourselves to remain stuck in the illusion, blocking their own awakening process. This includes me, up until the recent internal shifts within my process, spurred on by what occurred here on Monday for me. This is why I feel moved to share the following. [I just realized that we DO come with instruction manuals.....our Higher Selves, our intuition, and our trust and knowing that WHO WE REALLY ARE is fully connected to the Writer of THE instruction book for ALL!]

This is an exerpt from Solara’s 2010 Surf Report, followed by more of an explanation from me.

FIRST & SECOND WAVE AND BRIDGES IN 2010

“2010 is going to have a massive effect on our roles as First & Second Waves and Bridges. Many of us will move to a new level by emerging as a True One. As we do, we will come together in a unified purpose as never before.

THE FIRST WAVE

The First Wave are those older souls who have been on this planet for a very long time. We came here under the Master Number 11 to Anchor the New. We have lots of Earth experience and have gathered an abundance of wisdom and knowledge.

….some First Waves will choose to leave the planet this year, feeling that their work here is now complete. Others have simply given up and resigned themselves to living out their final years in isolation. They are so tired and beaten down by life that they no longer believe in their Wildest Dreams.

This always makes me a bit sad, for I am one of the First Wave who knows that we are right on the cusp of the fulfillment of our Wildest Dreams. We are the First Waves who are still rowing with our full beings. Even though we have already completed our monumental task of Anchoring the New, we know that this is the time when we are most needed. It is during the Time of Transition when we have many sceptres of wisdom, knowledge, experience and responsibility to pass on. We also know that we aren’t meant to leave this planet weary and embittered. When we do leave, we shall make our departure singing a joyous song of love and victory.

During 2010, many First Waves will feel a true sense of relief for the first time. This deep relief comes about due to the unprecedented activation and stepping forward of the Bridges and Second Wave. (THANK YOU!!) The First Wave will finally be able to start dismantling their lifetimes of rigorous training to hold on and keep on, no matter what. They will no longer need to put their own personal lives aside so they can continually serve. Now is the time for their Wildest Dreams to blossom.” (Solara)

Solara’s Surf Report for 2010 – On the Path of Love
http://www.reikithehealingpath.com/energy_report.htm

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What I have come to realize is that the label is not important, but the intensity of the spiritual pull from within is. I have just recently realized that my path is that of one of this first wave, and that I will need to be moving on to work beyond this planet, on behalf of this planet. I tell you this because all of you that consider yourselves lightworkers are meant to be FULLY stepping up to the plate, as it is to many of you that the first waves are needing to pass on our wisdom, knowledge, experience and responsibility. I can feel strongly the collective of the first waves, and we truly have become weary and are evolving to a level where we are no longer able to keep carrying the load. The amount of work it has taken for us to get to this place is taking a toll on us, as the report mentions. In some ways this has been heartbreaking to me, as I can see that what it takes to truly take the baton and run with it is largely going unheeded by many. The channeled messages since I have been reading them have told you all in a hundred different ways what is being asked of you, and yet the dedication just does not appear to be there on a level that it truly needs to be.The way it feels to me, we urgently need the rest of you to step up and reach out for the batons that you are to now carry, as we are needing to continue to heed the calls of our souls, too. What a waste of our efforts over many lifetimes if you do not end up wanting to honor and use that which is yours for the asking. And what a loss to all!

There is nothing much at all written about this by those of the first wave, and so I am basically sticking my neck out here with little to back this up, except the knowing that I have a heck of alot of good stuff I am meant to pass on, and so few who seem to want it. That is why I have become relentless in how strongly I speak in my messages to you. Please hear that I say this to you from the depths of my heart and soul, and know that my intention is only to express this to you in a way that may get your attention on a deep, soul level. I, and others like me, are truly exhausted and we simply must begin to put ourselves and the call of our own paths first now.

PLEASE ask your Higher Self to help you FEEL the true calling of your soul, and see if you don’t feel a stirring that feels more real than ANYTHING 3D duality has ever told you. If you do, then keep listening, “step up to the plate”, commit the rest of your life to remembering and BEING who you are, and who you came here to be; then do what you can to get that process started. If you show me you are serious, I will share all I can here with you, and I will share some of the past channeled messages that I feel are “right on” for helping you to do the work that is actually expected of you to do. The good news is, is that now there are so many amazing energy waves helping in the release process from our 3D selves and into the alignment with our Higher Selves. That, along with time compaction and your commitment to release what holds you back, means that the process for you is now greatly accelerated. But, nothing can happen until you step up, start to FEEL your life from within your heart and soul, and commit. And I’m talkin’ FAR MORE than talkin’ the talk. I’m talkin’ BEING the BEING you are within, who already knows HOW to WALK THE WALK, in every now moment. Free will is a gift, and NOT choosing is still a choice!

Please give this the consideration it deserves…..that YOU deserve. I will continue to write and share with you what is radically flowing through me now since Monday. Thank you for reading this and giving it heart-felt consideration and respect.

So, now I will share about my own experiences, with the intent that you will feel tugs from within you that are your clues as to what your own process is saying to you; and also to pass on how I came to allow the process to “happen”.

First, I need to say that what I share here is my process, my truth. It flows straight from my heart and soul and it is intended to speak to yours. I ask you to make a conscious decision to read it from your heart and soul rather than from your head, as you will not “hear” what you are reading, otherwise. What I share is not for you to agree or disagree with, but rather to see where you might feel the possibilities for you in your own awakening process. Take what you like and what can serve you, and simply leave the rest.

So…here goes. I noticed that the gist of the messages I have been sharing here recently have become “repetitive”. That is because the truth for me has become very simple, and so that is what I now have to share. I have felt the push to say the same basic ideas in many different ways, as have many of our Galactic, Angelic and Master Brothers and Sisters (through the channelings). Since I got on-line last October, I daily print out the messages I feel drawn to from a number of websites, with the clear intent that I would not just READ them, but that I would consciously APPLY their meaning to my life as I read and resonated with them. Then, since I am committed to my awakening process every moment, I begin using the suggestions from the messages I resonated with, seeing how I can incorporate them into the details of my everyday life. What makes this worth it is that the only true desire of any substance I have in my life is TO WAKE UP AND FIND THE TRUE ROBIN THAT I CAME HERE TO EARTH TO BE, AND SHARE.

All of that comes from the commitment I made 16 years ago to marry my Higher Self, as something in me could feel my “Me” getting swallowed up in the “matrix”. That is THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THOUGHT, CHOICE, AND ACT I HAVE EVER MADE IN THIS LIFETIME. It literally saved my life, and certainly has allowed me to heal the splits within me and wake up to a life I previously could not see or know….a heart-centered life. And what I mean by “marrying my Higher Self” is just that. Little ceremony and all, I made the conscious oath to invite my Higher Self to be my partner in my life, to lead me on my life’s journey that only It could. About a year ago, I asked my Higher Self to FULLY live my life, or should I say to fully BE ME, and so began the very conscious “dying process” of my 3D self-centered self. That is when my life “miraculously” began to rearrange itself, beginning with my daughter asking to live with her dad and his new wife. Prior to this, this had not even been “on the table”, but recently my daughter told me that she just knew it was what she needed to do…..(see how we are all so connected when we can feel and trust the flow?)! That is when I let go, when I surrendered to the “higher” flow of how my Higher Self was guiding my NEW LIFE! I grieved heavily the loss of being full-time “Mama”, and yet letting myself grieve allowed me to accept “what is” and let my daughter go, fully. On her 13th birthday, I had a little ceremony here, alone, and I symbolically handed her over to the TRUTH of the life SHE, as HER Higher Self, came here, through me, to live. I absolutely know and trust that her Higher Self knows exactly how to BE her and LIVE her life, far better than I do! And she knows and feels that too! I know, because the more I become more “me”, the more real we naturally are with each other. We can now talk about this stuff, instead of being in power struggles with each other!

Even before my daughter moved out, I felt a strong inner push to “get my affairs in order”. I knew this was probably not literally about dying, but it WAS literally about letting go of the small dumbed-down illusion of who I was as a 3D being who had forgotten who I was. It WAS about facing my fears about dying, which helped me to become more committed to my ascension process! During that process, I drew up a simple will; I wrote out what peeps would need to know; I wrote out where to find stuff in my apartment; I cleared out anything that no longer serves me in my present life; I wrote letters to all of my loved ones. After I was done with all of that, I found myself becoming unattached from ALL possessions and I even began giving many of my previously “favorite” things to others. I began to live very simply. I quit feeling stress concerning money. My life slowed waaaay down!

Then I found Galactic Messages this past November. After “lurking” for awhile, getting a feel of the energy of the site, I started feeling like I had some stuff to share here. I began sharing ways I had found to implement some of things I was reading in channeled messages and supporting others to do the same. I also soaked up all I was learning from all of the stuff you all talk about and share here. The time I began to spend on-line and at GM actually began to replace the time and energy I had previously spent in “being Mama”, 24/7. I could feel myself trusting what I was learning, and I could feel that I was led to being here….like I sorta HAD to be here. There is much that I have woken up to since coming to the site, and since I am blessed with the “writing bug”, I have felt led to share “ahas” from my process here.

In February, my “inner experience” of me started feeling very different. I realized I had, once again, come up against the end of the “Me” that I had been being up until then. In other words, I was faced with saying the Big Yes to yet another layer of my 3D dissolving and dying off. (This is never any longer a result of a head decision or a mental process….THAT is the way of the dualistic paradigm. I have found that our Higher Selves live out from a much different “space” within us….one that has its own exquisite wisdom and impeccable inner flow and timing!!) Saying yes to releasing that which no longer can be held in the vibration that my Higher Self is ever moving into, has now become a very conscious and in-the-moment process….a way of life that requires me to be in my integrity from a deep FEELING level. And so, when I get that little (or BIG) nudge-of-a-feeling that something just doesn’t feel right…..that I’m finding myself trying to force something to “fit” the way it “used to to fit”, or that I’m aware of NOT feeling true-to-myself any longer in some manner of how I think, speak, act or interact, I now must turn and face that WITHIN MYSELF and see and hear what it is trying to tell me.

This includes becoming aware of, owning in love, and releasing the lies I was programmed to believe about myself…my core issues! As I started to trust my inner knowing of my worth and that of all others, I began to feel how intolerable it felt to find myself caught up in another loop of lies that the loud voice inside my head is always chanting to me. My main one has been the deep seated feeling of shame, and the words that came to me about were “wrong and bad”. For others, their megaphone head voice tells them they are worthless; incompetant; hideous, etc. (I’ve come to realize THIS is why we MUST stop pointing our fingers at “them…out there”….BECAUSE THE VOICE OF THAT ‘”THEM” LIVES IN THAT VOICE IN O*U*R HEADS!! Can you see it…? THEY LIVE IN YOU IN THAT VOICE that yells at you all day from within….or that tells you how wrong others are. It is in doing what it takes for us each to overcome OUR OWN UNCONSCIOUS BELIEF in the programmed lies within US that is how we truly do our parts to shine our light in this world. That is briefly how I have experienced how the next layer of old 3D paradigm/matrix gets released.

So, once this very new and VERY DEEP releasing process began for me, I surrendered INTO it, and thus further surrendered into fully becoming the Master that I now claim that I already am….(that we all already are)! THIS has been the hardest 3 months of my life, and yet it has awakened me to the ME I’ve always wanted to BE and live from, and always knew I was MEANT TO BE….and IT IS A BLAST to experience myself from this place. It is hard to describe, and that’s why you deserve to experience it for yourself. I know that I will always keep awakening to more and more of my ME from here on out, as will you!

It is this ME who now sees and feels and knows the truth the way I do. It is this ME who “knows” way more from my intuition than I ever really “knew” with my head/mind. It is this ME who sees and feels the truth about, and my oneness with, all beings, including you. And it is from this me that my latest post writings have really begun to flow. It is this me who feels like I am to move on soon. I now see that as a result of that, I feel a growing passion inside of me to share exclusively with those peeps who truly are “hungry” to be ALL OF WHO THEY ARE, AND WHO THEY CAME HERE TO BE…..those who are ready to say and commit to the “Big Yes” in their own lives…..and mean it. And so, the transition I feel myself in concerning the site has nothing to do with anything other than I must now listen to where my soul’s passion is leading me.

And soooo…..If you feel that you ARE one of those peeps who is ready to go for it, or perhaps you have some questions I may be able to answer concerning the process, I feel open to that feedback. I am not saying I know your answers for you. I am saying that I DO know how to ask you the kinds of questions that allow YOU to find your OWN answers, THAT TRULY ARE ALREADY IN YOU, WAITING FOR YOU TO ASK!! Once you use your free will to CHOOSE the Big Yes, Spirit will take it from there, and guide your lives (and the site, if you share here on that level). (And, remember, by putting yourself out there to get things moving for you, WILL help others, and THAT is one of the ways we truly do serve each other!)

I suspect I may be the “most serious” person on the site, and the most intense; but that is why I am here! Great Masters, being about great things, do not get there unless they feel inspired and passionate to go beyond their previous limits!! Firefighters are a breed apart for a reason….and so are Starseeds and Masters! They trust that it is in the unknown where the greater good is found!! In our case, the unknown concerns the entire planet, the entire universe, reality as we know it….FOREVER!! Why would you NOT “step up to the plate”, as Laurinda says?!?!

So, what say you? Would you like a bit more of what I can share here to support you to get to more of WHO YOU ARE, as Salusa and others are strongly urging you to do?? Collectively, you could allow this site to go to the next level of service, if it fits for you guys. Either way, I will still need to honor and say the Big Yes to the leading of my Higher Self and my soul’s fullest destiny. I was thinking I could post what is flowing from my fingers all of the sudden to share now on the “End of WINGS…” message board, where they could be concentrated for you to print out, and/or to copy/paste them to where you think others may benefit from them. Or maybe the GM dudettes may be willing to make a board in the community contributions section with them if you want? THIS site could be your own intentional community of consciously emerging masters/starseeds…..like at a grass-roots level. It’s just a thought, but it’s all up to you guys, and your conscious intent to use what is already right here in your lives to foster your true awakening…at a much accelerated pace from here on out!

Ok….so, that’s it for the writing I have done since Monday. I’ll leave you now with……CHOICES, CHOICES, CHOICES…..and encouragement to be true to you in your consideration of this.

God said:

Really wonderful Godwriting Workshop, you say. You say you don’t know how I do it. I will tell you.
It is easy. It is My pleasure. You have all blessed Me. I am blessed. God is blessed.
Each Godwriting is a beautiful piece of fruit that falls into My heart like an apple from a tree. Each piece of fruit that falls to Me is its own variety of a never-before-seen kind of fruit. I gave you the words, and yet you present them to Me as a gift from a gold and silver tree bearing the fruit of your souls. You give My grace to Me, and I am well-pleased.
Well-pleased is not the expression I want. Sometimes I too don’t know the word I want. There may not be a word to express what I wish to express. Grateful is not the right word. When am I not grateful? Appreciative is not the right word. When am I not? Happy is not the right word, for when am I not happy? Well-received is not the right word. Well-received is too stand-offish. And, it goes without saying that My messages to you are well-given and that My awareness that My messages are received into open arms gives Me – what shall I say? I don’t know the word. You will have to give Me the word I want.
Pleasure is not the right word. You more than pleasure Me, beloveds. Yes, you please Me, but what is the word I want to express to say what a gift from you means to Me?
You have given Me love, so what is the right word to express what I feel when you send love to Me?
I cannot say that your return of love causes Me to bestow more love on you because My love already is bestowed on you to its fullest. Where can more love be?
Shall I say that your attention on Me is like a sweet Spring rain that sprinkles your heart all over the Universe?
I cannot say that I was parched, and that your Godwriting quenched My thirst. But, I suppose, if I could have a thirst, my thirst would be to receive the love letters from you that originate with Me. Each Godwriting you write down is like a return receipt to Me. You acknowledge My gifts to you, My gifts of worded love construed as advice. You acknowledge Our connection. You accept Our connection. You accept My love.
Yes, each Godwriting is your thank You to Me.
You give Me a stated update on your life, as it were. You give Me opportunity to know that I am heard. I do like to be heard. No one likes to not be heard. I hear you, and now you hear Me. I am heard in your heart and recorded on paper. You make a recording of My Voice heard in your heart and transferred to paper. You write down what I say to you, and, so, the Universe attempts to make permanent that which was ever so and never otherwise. There is nothing impermanent about Me.
I do not grow, for I am already Totality. I have no edges. I am Immeasurable Totality. I am measureless Totality. I am Vastness Supreme, and now you are beginning to accept your own Vastness which is the Totality that We all are. What would I give you but all of Myself, not a dab, not a dot, but All?
And so you acknowledge receipt. And I accept. We accept the love We exchange. Not really exchanged but noted. Easy for Me, and easy for you.

John Gunner: That was wonderful, thank you for offering it here for all of us to enjoy! You’re the best!!!

This is a video about 2 good ‘ole boys from Florida (I think since they have a Gator flag on the wall and this was sent from my friend from Florida) that show us how to clean up the dang oil mess. It is easy, cost effective and quick. Let’s get out there and git ‘er done! http://www.wimp.com/solutionoil/

Admiral: I am sitting here thinking of you, yes you, my dear brother. I assume you are reading all of these wonderful comments from our dear soul family here. I would like to put my request into you, our family archivist to seek out the videos that would perhaps assist our family in the soul process that is currently being discussed in this message, and in the comments. You have a real talent for this sort of thing. I thank you ahead of time, and send you my love and blessings…

Bill: Please bless us all with your deeply felt heart wisdom in all of this. You always shoot straight to the hearts of others with what you have to say.

well after reading all the comments here i started to well up pretty hard “as usual” lol and laurinda my dear sis when i read yours that’s when the tears really started rolling out. this song by creed jumped out at me as it does a lot these days i hope everyone will sing this to their inner self as i do it really really helps me. i love yall very very much. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I3gLaTG80w

ARR- I consider myself an intelligent person but some of the things you post are above my head. I think I suffer from adult
A.D.D. and just can’t comprehend the magnitude of the things you write because my attention span is so short. Even SaLuSa is a little bit above my pay grade sometimes. I really have to stop and re-read things and let it all soak in. The Wings posts kind of stopped resonating with me too for some reason. At 1st they did and then I just got lost on what she was even talking about. My own daughter just got married and is moving to California. She has been gone for 2 weeks and all I want to do is cry and I am so angry!!!!!!! I know I have to let her go though. My other daughter is about to turn 18 and she is going to move to PA with her boyfriend in July so I have to let her go. My grandma who lives with us is on Hospice and is starting to lose her mind and I am about to have to let her go too. I still have a 12 year old daughter though so I have to stay strong for her. She is also sad. I have tried to “LET GO AND LET GOD” but it is so hard some days. I sometimes want to jump off a cliff. The only reason I don’t is because of my family that loves me. I am so ready for the space family to come show us a better life. I know that we can create our own reality down here right now but it seems like my brain won’t allow me to be happy. That’s all I want is peace and happiness. I dream about it and for see it in the future but I just can’t seem to feel it most days. I need a happy pill I guess. Coming here to this site makes me happy so thanks guys. Love you all!

Admiral 19 awesome sand castles. I used to love building sand castles and i always built it near the water with a huge moat aroung the castle. In Japan they build ice sculptures and have a big festival every year.
ARR 29 Man the sparks of light are falling into their rightful places. I notice time is moving so quickly now the clouds look more awesome than ever i could remember and nature in itself seems so much more vivid than i could remember.It is great to go through this process aware of the things happening as we can see right in front of us the changes and miracles.

STEVE BECKOW – Off the Air for Two Days

I’ll be off the air for a couple of days while my Mac goes to computer hospital.

While I’m away, I wanted to leave you with this last message from Matthew Ward in which he discusses a previous instance in which the cabal intended to take out oil rigs and why they intended to do so. The move was prevented by the galactics. The rest of his message is as much of an eye-opener.

Bravehearts: Okay, since we are ramping up the ‘ol vibes again, I will post my email address for those of you who would like to contact me. I do this with a trusting heart: gemstonegoddess22@yahoo.com

Hello to all. I too feel that this is a community that we all found by no accident. Like Laurinda, I do not post any place else. I only have one other friend that I talk about this site with. I mentioned him before, he of the near death experience. I’m careful not to let others hear of what we talk about, lest we be considered loons. Not too many are ready for what is coming, as far as I can tell. I’ve been feeling sort of down again the last week, and I know this is because I work at a job that has zero satisfaction and only pays enough to cover my monthly expenses. And then I spend too much time thinking about the situation, and know that I will only be attracting more.
Thankfully I still have my garden to give me joy. All of my veggies are up and looking good. I’m hoping that June and July will be just meals from the garden. (I only eat supper, and have been doing just one meal a day for years.)
Off to the garden now, after a quick angel meditation from Doreen Virtue. Love and light to all, and thank all of you for sending healing energy my way. Namaste

Admiral, thanks for posting Steve Beckow. I never heard of him until you posted his site. He seems so down to earth and he is very observant(something I have to work on in life.)
EE “lest we be considered loons” go out and speak your truths to all who will listen without worrying about what others think about you. When you worry too much about others thoughts about you you are actually letting them create your reality instead of you. In the book conversations with god, god states “seek the approval of no one” for if we constantly seek approval like I said they become our creators. Man im pissed off I missed ancient aliens i gotta set my dvr for that show.

Many thanks for your messages ARR.
Much appreciated.
I am relatively new to all of what you brought forward and would like you to elaborate a bit further on the “commit the rest of your life to remembering and being who you are and what you came here to be” part….cause I was under the impression(from channeled messages) that the “remembering phase” is not something we can force upon ourselves and we will be remembering ourselves at the “right” time.Thanks in advance.

@ ARR:
Another issue that isn’t clear to me is why all this frustration with people not stepping up to the plate?
Does this matter in the greater picture?From God’s point of view I don’t think it does…if people aren’t ready,they aren’t.It’s not like ascension won’t happen if there aren’t enough souls ready.It will.It is done.
Eventually all will ascend.I don’t quite understand why you think that all of these efforts over many lifetimes in preparing all of this is such a waste?I assume there will be many nonetheless and satisfaction lays in the fact of those you’ve helped to awake.
And I’m confident that once the ball will be rolling many who haven’t showed their true colours yet,will step up.
Thanks in advance for elaborating.

MATTHEW (AUG 08)

Now I shall address the variety of questions about how best to prepare for ascension. Live in godly ways—there’s no need for me to spell those out, they come naturally to people who have light in their souls.

There’s no need either for esoteric studies, trips to the Himalayas, belonging to spiritual groups, attending instructional seminars or workshops, or establishing prayer rituals; however, if you feel strongly attracted to any of those and you have the time and resources to engage in them, by all means follow your heart in those matters.

Know that there is no separation between you and God or with all other souls in this universe.

Trust your intuition, the messages from your soul to your consciousness.

Let the love in your soul radiate out to the universe. Love, the most powerful force in the cosmos, can be expressed in limitless ways, but it must start with self-love that comprises self-respect, self-worth and self-confidence.

Live in harmony with Nature.

Quiet times in solitude—meditation, if you will—is food for the soul. So is music that inspires or soothes, and the light in a genuine smile has incalculable ripple effects for self and those whose lives you touch.

Forgive self and others, see a situation from others’ perspectives, cherish beautiful memories and let go of those that are hurtful.

The people who are working for peace; preservation of the environment; humane treatment of animals; assistance to homeless, hungry and sick; or any other avenue of assistance are examples of light and love in action. Those motivations come from soul level, and the advocates and activists are responding to their souls’ messages.

Know that you are god- and goddess-selves with the power to manifest whatever you strongly intend!

Nothing I said is new to many of you as we have spoken before about these and other like measures, but since ones still are asking about this essential aspect of enlightenment and spiritual growth, reiteration is necessary. And if it is a reminder to you who have this awareness, that too can be beneficial.

philfromB…Thank you for showing your appreciation for my posts, and for your great questions! I’m certainly not saying I KNOW the truth here. I’m just sharing the immense push from within me to talk about this. I’ve noticed others are beginning to write in a similar manner about how there seems to be “something” holding many lightworkers back from feeling the passion of their emerging Master selves; to me it feels like a heaviness that is holding folks back in their own lives, keeping them from facing down the fears that keep them locked into their 3D jobs, and life restraints. That’s why I am supporting people to just go for it….to take the plunge, and risk letting go of what they know they are holding onto that is making them feel flat and miserable in their lives….to trust there is something better and real just waiting for them to ignore the fear and trust the process; and trust in who they are beyond the fear that tries to stop them!

later gunner. Have a good night.
I’m movin’ on myself, too. Enough writing for the last 24 hours!! Love to all!

Thanks for the elaboration ARR.Much appreciated.

I understand it better now what you meant to say.I guess it must be mindblowing to remember who you really are.For me it is still a “believing in” based on information from different sources instead of a “knowing”.
I’m sharing this light(ascension) with others without remembering myself.I’m very open for that but I guess I am not at a level yet to be able to remember.

#61 :Beautifull post Gordon.Thanks.

here’s another sweet little vid from my dear friend ireneaura i hope yall like it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiiQJUVlH4c&playnext_from=TL&videos=WTyKxkBDuLw

Red Robin, you say your Earth process is coming to a close. Would you tell us what this means? I dread to think that this means you are contemplating ending your life by an act of will. Surely any thought in that direction is the work of the dark forces. I’m sure they relish the thought of the damage they could do by taking out a bright soul just as the End Game commences. I can’t imagine that this is the case but please give us some reassurance. Your vague words carry disturbing shadows.

Thanks Robin for clarifying. I thought so but I wanted to make 100% sure… these are strange times indeed.

Sped: keep up the good work over at the other site, cuz I am sure you are making a difference. You most certainly have in my life!!! I love you my soul brother…

Thanks Admiral. Thanks Laurinda. I will email you when I have more time.
Gunner, looks like my Texas boy got voted off American Idol.

@ARR
I made the commitment recently to say the “Big YES”, and Laurinda is really holding my candle to the flame on this one. I’ve already started to peel away the outermost layers of the onion. This is big for me, I’ve already been warned, and I am starting to see for myself that this is NOT going to be easy!!! Thank you ARR for being there for Laurinda so that she can now be there for me.
LOVE and LIGHT,
Bill

Hi Admiral,
To answer your question in #85: To me, the Big Yes is unique for every person and very personal, so it may be different for you than for me, or for anyone else. To me,
it means getting down and dirty with YOURSELF. Search within yourself to find all of the things that bother you, that make you resentful, that make you hold grudges, or make you hold back your love. It means opening your heart and filling it with unconditional love. It means releasing your ego and forgiving others. It is about clearing karma. It is about being TRUTHFUL to your self and releasing your innermost regrets. Well, I hope I helped, it is really kinda hard to explain all of this, and I may have a better understanding once I’m deeper into it. Like I said, it’s different for everyone.

Let me surprise you,dear Salusa
I was wrong in my computation of the Mayan Calendar
one tun is 20 winals and not 18
therefore the end of time and the start of time is on 1st of March 2015
you said that GF has a time limit on which to appear on Geea
this time limit is the completion of the 5th day of the galactic cycle,nicknamed :meeting your galactic neighbours
13th of october 2010
2010 is the year we made contact(good film,by the way)

Laurinda (87)….yep, I certainly do!!

Bill (86)…thank you so much for offering your (a man’s) point of view, and experiences! You are quite welcome, and this is exactly the ripple effect that choosing to say your own Big Yes creates! I appreciate you and I thank you for being willing to step up to your own inner integrity. The partnerships this creates are of a caliber beyond imagination! You two have a blast shining brightly together!!!

8daisies: Beautifully said dearheart, beautifully said!!!

8daisies: Beautifully said dearheart!!!

Stick: You are a beautiful soul, a son that any woman would be proud to call her own. God bless you. Sending you waves of comforting love dear one…

Stick..big hug to you.

Morning All,
Just wanted to tell you that you guys and gals are GREAT! Lots of great insight…a pleasure to read. Thanks to Salusa as always. I have been reading these messages for so long now that I don’t can’t imagine what it would have been like not to have had this continuous and uplifting insight.
Living in 3D is certainly not getting any easier and some days I feel like it’s going to break me in two. I am ready for the change…Stay STRONG everyone.

Much LOVE

…good Morn’n all, Gunner I love watching animals come together like that…awesome!

SEA LIONS, DOLPHINS & NAVY TEAM UP FOR TERROR TRAINING

Mark Berman of the Berkeley, Calif., environmental group Earth Island Institute objected to the use of the marine animals in the exercise. He said it is ethically wrong to use marine mammals to perform tasks for humans.

“Dolphins deserve to be in the wild on their own terms”

http://www.postchronicle.com/news/breakingnews/article_212302551.shtml?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Sometimes I really cannot believe how people can treat marine life the way they do. At seaworld (in which I will never go back there) the trainers try to give you a speech that they are helping the dolphins. I feel they have no idea what they are talking about. Helping????????????????????????????
Locked up in a pool whales locked up total slavery,immoral and just downright wrong. In conversations with God book God states you can tell a civilizations level of spiritual evolution by the way they treat their animals. I guess we are not too evolved past the caveman.Oh well back to work. What a Matthew message. Well work needs to be put off for now more important to read thismessage and send it out to all my blog posts.

8daisies (91)…I “fourth” what Laurinda said in her 3 posts to you!!

~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning, Fergie (102)…I consider you one of the greats here, too! I LOVED your post on the need for “repetition”!!!!!!!!! It is priceless, and I sent it to several people in my life! Thank you!

See in your mind’s eye your future precious Fergie Self, surrounded in ALL you know you DESERVE AND WILL HAVE beyond 3D…..all you have earned through your hard work. In my experience, that can serve as the inner compassion for myself that has kept me moving forward. I figure that I’ve said yes to mastering the opposite of that which I AM, and that the time is nearly here where our Master Degrees have been fully earned! So now, I’m preparing for what the post-graduation party and life thereafter FEEL like and get to be…..All that I have EARNED! This is making it worth it to have to take the “finals”, so I can walk the steps up to the stage to get my diploma!

CALIFORNIA QUAKE LOOMS: Psychics, Seers and Science Agree

There is unprecedented chatter taking place on the internet, alternative news and mainstream media about the escalating “earth changes” we’re undergoing. That California is about to experience a major quake is spoken about as a foregone conclusion–and people are preparing accordingly. Especially in southern California.

@laurinda “say it once, say it twice, third times the charm”

God said:

Beloveds, there are experiences in life. Things happen to you. Someone may shove you in line. Someone may rob you. Someone may bless you. You may have no conscious choice over what happens to you.
It is easy for you to receive someone’s blessings. Maybe the blessing was a beautiful gift. Maybe the blessing was money. Maybe the blessing was a smile, a welcoming word, good food. Without giving thought to it, you smile. You may even hug the person. In any case, you feel good.
Pretty much you respond as quickly and as naturally when someone does not treat you as you and I wish all would treat you. Instead of your heart rising, your heart sinks. That is not surprising.
And pretty much, when someone is truly loving, and he or she donates happiness to you, you remain happy for some time after.
And pretty much, when someone is unloving, and he or she, in effect, donates unhappiness to you, your heart sinks, and you feel baffled and affronted. When you find yourself irate, however, that is your choice. You didn’t have choice of what the other person said or did. Your heart sank. Yet now you have choice.
You can brood about what happened all day. You can write angry letters. You can punch the person in the nose. You can swear. What you do or say after an event is your choice. And how long you continue to feel diminished, that is your choice. It isn’t the choice of the person who offended you.
At some point, you just want to let go of thinking about it. You may not be able to forgive the other person his egregious error. Maybe you can’t just yet. At the same time, you don’t have to carry around hurtful resentment or outright anger. You don’t have to keep them.
You may say you can’t help it. I understand how you feel, and yet I tell you that you can help it. You can decide to help it. You can decide to leave the scene of the crime. You can give your thoughts another direction to go in. You can decide ahead of time that you will not let unhappy feelings linger. You can know it is not your role to let unhappy feelings take over.
No longer do you need to let an event or another person make decisions for you. You are not helpless. Even when more than your ego is hurt, you can let go of it. I don’t say you can instantly forget it. I say you can decide not to pack it in your heart.
You may think it is your heart that decides all your emotions for you, yet it is your mind. Heretofore, your mind may have urged you to retaliate. Your mind is telling you what to do, not your heart.
You have become accustomed to reacting in anger or perhaps tears. Whether you actually show your anger is one thing, but storing anger within you is another. This is what you must forgo, just the way you forgo a second piece of pie. The pie is not the lord over you. Nor is anyone entitled to dictate to you how you are going to be.
It is for you to decide and to be. Someone or something did do something to you. Let go of the idea that they can’t. They did. What is it that you have to defend? Your honor? Keep your honor for yourself, beloveds, and act accordingly.
I know that sticks and stones and words do hurt you. I also know that you can free yourself from added penalty. Let go, beloveds, let go. Untoward events are not lord over you.

Good morning all!

A bit more just now “came across the wire”…

MY “NUTSHELL” VERSION

Think of a flower seed. Within that tiny seed is ALL the (invisible) information that will orchestrate the be-coming into form of that individual and uniquely exquisite flower. With the help of the soil, the sun, and water, that seed will manifest a miracle into the physical world.

Once planted, the seed receives the message that it is time to grow, and so it does. But in no time, the FORM of the seed must burst apart in order for the sprout to emerge. From then on, a plant that was only invisible potential AS the seed, comes into manifestation. The form of the seed had to give itself over to the process of becoming that which it was meant to become.

THIS is the Big Yes. ALL of life does this, including humans.

Yet unknowingly, we have been split from ourselves and the natural flow of our own growth, through all of the fear-based programming, numbing and dumbing-down that we have endured. Now, we have become aware of this. Now we can take back this awareness of our true nature and MAKE NEW CHOICES for our lives. Now we can see fear for what it ISN’T, and really begin to make our choices for our lives differently.

Now….see and feel YOUR life as that seed. Behold the hidden potential for all of what you are meant to become here on Earth, just as you did for the seed planted in the ground. The natural flow that all of life goes through from being a seed and growing into its full potential is the flow we HAVE BEEN IN ALL ALONG…we were just asleep to that fact.

So, our “Self-seeds” have basically been TRYING to keep growing all along, and yet they have been stifled. This is part of the plan, as duality means learning through the law of opposites. The law says we must master that which is NOT who we are, in order to KNOW who we are. Through this, we learned how to give our power and the use of our free will over to create the illusion of that which we are NOT.

Now, we are waking back up. Now we are realizing the truth about us. And now, we GET to UN-stifle ourselves, because we are seeing through and finishing with the illusion of 3D duality. We get to reclaim our inner power, our inner authority, and the highest use of our free-will. We get to become and know ourselves, once again, as the innocent, precious beings we naturally were as children. As children, we were naturally unafraid and felt the true flow.

This is why I put out the call for you to say the Big Yes. It is a declaration and a promise you make to yourself to consciously reinstate the natural growth process of YOUR life’s “seed”…your seed of Divinity that IS YOU!!! It is now time for THAT YOU to GET to COME BACK TO LIFE, and to keep emerging into the world in all of your glory!

Duality was the seed portion of our divine Earth walk. We are finishing up with our need for duality. We are being asked to allow the “seeds” in our lives that keep us tied to duality consciousness to “burst apart”….BECAUSE of the miracles that are meant to replace them. Our growth process resumes now, and the flow is now able to move us along as freer and freer Beings of inner authority. This resumes life BEYOND fear, and beyond the threat of danger.

I feel it is imparative for each of us to “get it” that even though we were not aware of it, we have been tricked into using our free-will against ourselves. The Big Yes just simply jump-starts the process of using our free will in loving and creative ways, once again, and forever. I feel it is the most powerful way possible, at this point of “time”.

I simply encourage you, when ready, to give your power back over to its rightful Owner….YOU…..your invisible Self-seed who already KNOWS how to grow beyond it’s time in duality, and live through you. This one act of using your very own free-will sets your life BACK on the road you were on before you got “stifled”. THIS is the conscious road to ascension.

Here’s to your sweet time of “flowering”, free and sovereign!

Just came across this piece, written by Nomvula Brand… quite relevant to the conversations today, I think!

Dormant souls inactivated by love wander around unable to trust…
Themselves and therefore unable to love others…
Nor themselves…
It’s a recipe of you to be dead-
Whereas love starts in your own heart, before you will feel it from others, therefore…
If you do not by no love yourself – then you have never really loved anyone out there either…
As you reflect into others that which you are
So that everybody you meet every day is YOU!
Just an aspect of yourself the Universe wants to show you about yourself…
So…if there is war outside then there is war inside…
And healing starts in you first before it starts on the outside
And the outside is a reflection of what is happening on your inside…
Let’s heal… ourselves… let’s love …ourselves …let’s start by ourselves first…
Our bodies… our minds… our Spirits…
We are one! What you feel I feel and what I feel you feel, but our realities might differ as this place has trillion of worlds in it – raise yourself through having a healthy lifestyle, positive thoughts and conscious spirits and you will have a different reality…
In my reality LOVE is all that is real… it does not mean that I feel love all the time from the outside, but it is the only real thing to me – the rest just get trashed in the recycling bin!

Wow! thanks for sharing that, Gunner

Steffie 123 I agree and you cant give what you dont have. There is a good book out there by Debbie Ford called the shadow talking about how the bad things in us are our shadow and our mind hides our shadow part of ourselves but it shows up in other people we interact with. i see so many people who judge othrs shadow have that same trait within them. when we learn to accept our shadow we will then not project it onto others.

nice to meet ya SG welcome back

Hey Sg welcome back. 8 Months do you know that even after 8 months SOON is still SOON.

ARR: Your “nutshell” post is one of your very best. You are such an awesome writer!!! Keep ‘em comin, okay?!

John Gunner: I gotta hand it to those brilliant nature angels—-they show sheer genius!!! Yes indeed…

I also use the seed, plant, flower metaphor when I’m talking with people about spiritual growth. One of my favorite things to say is that there is a natural timing to the growth of a plant. One does not judge the plant as less than worthy because it has not yet bloomed. It will bloom when the time and conditions are right. Perhaps it is building up its leaves, steams or roots. Perhaps it was not nourished with the right soil or did not receive enough light yet.

Watch out, Universe, the humans are about to bloom.

4earthwise (138)…Hello, and blessings back to you. I want to thank you for posting here in the Community Contributions back in February. I now clearly see that what I was meant to glean from the material you posted, has now served as a very significant piece of my process. Thank you for being the messenger for that!

**Your life can be joyful, even in the Illusion**
05/19/2010 by John Smallman

To worry about the future and to try to prevent personal disasters and catastrophes from occurring is very human. And while you spend inordinate amounts of time in this kind of thinking — or the (apparent) opposite: planning and dreaming up ideas to make you securely rich — life is passing you by, unnoticed and unappreciated. It really is very strange, don’t you think, to spend so much time attempting to avoid the life you so carefully thought out and planned so meticulously before incarnating as a human?

The life path you planned will occur, but it remains your choice whether to live it unthinkingly and let it go by unnoticed, or, conversely, to be aware and accepting, learning the lessons with which it presents you. The latter choice means it will flow more smoothly and you will deal far more effectively with the curve balls it seems to throw you from time to time. Whereas the former choice will have you either fighting life and the unfair situations it appears to place you in against your will, or else taking on the role of helpless victim, as it seems to you that fatehas singled you out for pain and suffering.

Your life can be joyful, even in the illusion, as many of you have discovered. To make it so demands your awareness. Pay attention to the events that pass through your life, seemingly without any effort or intent on your part, however inconsequential they appear to be. Nothing that you experience is meaningless, it just appears that way when you let it pass by without noticing. You influence everything you experience whether you are conscious of it or not.

Life is a wonderful gift, and it is eternal — because you are immortal. What God gives He gives forever. The fact that you appear to dwell in an illusory environment where pain, suffering, disasters, and catastrophes are frequent occurrences does not make it real. Your task is to awaken into awareness and leave the illusion to disintegrate, turn to dust, and blow away in the wind to the nothingness from which it came. And this you will achieve, because it is your Father’s Will and yours that you live in joy.

While you continue to “experience” life in the illusion, you are becoming aware that the experience would be greatly improved if all were properly fed, clothed, sheltered, and could live without fear of being attacked by others. This improvement in living conditions is possible and will happen, and every human will play their part in bringing it about. Many have already started work to achieve this noble and loving aim, by living in peace with themselves, by refraining from judging themselves or others, and by setting the intent many times throughout the day to offer only unconditional love in every moment.

This becomes easier as you begin to realize that those who attack, judge, blame, or defend are operating from a sense of abandonment and fear, and are truly crying out to be loved and accepted. The knowledge that they are always unconditionally loved and accepted by God is too deeply buried for them to access without help. By offering unconditional love in every situation, you provide enormous assistance to these ones who need to unearth that deeply buried knowledge which will bring them untold relief and hope. It will enable them to start down the path of self-acceptance and self-forgiveness which lies at the heart of all healing and joy.

You all have that exhilarating knowledge deep within you, and it is a beacon in the darkness of the illusion which is inextinguishable. Help yourselves to uncover it by accepting one another unconditionally and without judgment. Then the eternal joy that is your birthright will blow away the dusty illusion as you awaken into the brilliant light of your Father’s Presence.

With so very much love, Saul.

Sped: I’m gonna email ya, please answer….

As I’ve said in past posts I highly recommend checking out Daniel Pinchbeck’s book ’2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl.’ He just completed the film ’2012 Time for Change,’ and I think his observations on the process of trying to get the film released is really worth reading. ~A close friend of mine is having to jump through similar mind numbing hoops to get his powerful documentary ‘Children of War’ a distribution deal. Painfully frustrating in a world where hundreds of millions of dollars go into producing shit like ‘Transformers 2.’ ~You can check out my friends web site at: http://www.mojocat.com/children_of_war/

*The War for Control of the Story*
by, Daniel Pinchbeck

Over the last few months, I’ve been working on the release strategy for 2012 Time for Change, our documentary, with director Joao Amorim, producer Giancarlo Canavesio and the staff at Mangusta Films. This has been a great learning process for us, and it is still underway. The transformation of media that began with the launch of ‘Web2.0′ a number of years ago has continued, and is accelerating. At the same time, the old mechanisms for distributing and marketing independent films have broken down. The model of a new independent film debuting at a festival like Sundance or Toronto, then getting a decent deal with a distribution company that takes the film off the filmmakers’ hands and brings them success and some financial reward has become a distant fantasy. Nowadays, very few films get such deals, and even when they do, the movies rarely pay back their investors, reward the creators, or make much of an impact in the mainstream.

In the new model that is still emerging, the creative energy of the filmmakers no longer ends with the completion of the film, but continues to be drawn upon for the entire life cycle of the project. The distribution and marketing of the film become a direct extension of the process of making it, and the creativity extends to every aspect of promoting, marketing, packaging, distributing, and showing it. On one side, this means that the artist can no longer be naive about business, or distanced from it, and hope to survive.

While artists have to become business savvy, on the other side, the business people have to become more like artists, sorting through all sorts of radical possibilities that didn’t even exist a few years ago. In the film world and other cultural areas, business is becoming more like art, and art is becoming more inseparable from business. Art purists may feel this is a bad thing; although it is a bit exhausting for the creative person who might like to retreat to his studio, I like these new developments and find them promising as well as exciting.

We are in a new kind of Renaissance – a creative entrepreneurial gold rush. These days, at least half of the musicians and directors I meet seem to be developing “technology plays,” new software systems and mechanisms for creating revenue and making their projects stand out in a blizzard of seemingly infinite options. The entire situation is maddening in it’s intricate convoluted complexity, but also fascinating. In the breakdown of the old models, media has become incredibly liquid, like mercury that runs everywhere and can coagulate into any form, at least momentarily, before it flows away again.

The model of a discrete 90 minute film as the ultimate goal is beginning to give way as well. While theatrical release remains a happy outcome, many films, especially documentaries, may soon become more amorphous “projects,” where the outtakes, extras, YouTube clips, video blogs, Twitter feeds, Facebook fan pages, etcetera, plus whatever comes next to replace these evanescent things, are integrated from the outset as elements of the creative vision of the whole. In the new model of independent self-distribution, films are conceived of as campaigns similar to political campaigns that need to mobilize the support of their audience even before they are finished, if possible.

With music, Peter Gabriel was one of the first to recognize that a likely – and potentially very cool – shift of emphasis could be from focus on product, that perfectly finished single or album, to a focus on process, on the continual development of a group or artist. He foresaw a model where audiences would pay to subscribe to follow a favorite artist’s progress toward a finished work, noting that the completed product was often only one version of many interesting improvisations. Gabriel foresaw that the changes in media would ultimately give more control and power to the artists, and although we are still in a transition phase where this often gets obscured, I believe that he is correct. How this will ultimately play out is still unknown, but it is entirely evident that not only information, but art, yearns to be free.

We see the new landscape, in which the creative innovator can now reach directly to a huge audience without need of a corporate intermediary, in those Youtube phenomena where an unknown puts out a series of comedy sketches or conspiracy theory videos and suddenly attracts an audience in the tens of millions, or more. Not just videos but new forms of social media and interactive technologies can rapidly explode. One recent example is Chat Roulette, created by a Russian teenager, now attracting over 30 million users a month. While much of what goes viral in this way is the usual vacuous trash, this cultural opening has also allowed for phenomena like the Zeitgeist Movement, where an effort is being made to transform cultural reach into a new type of social and political force, supporting the vision of a “resource based economy” developed by the Venus Project.

The Internet is a battleground right now, on so many levels. It is ground zero in the global consciousness war, between those entrenched forces that want to control consciousness and manage perception, to maintain their power and market share, and those other constituencies who represent a range of outsider perspectives, from far right to anarchist, spiritually enlightened to blindly enraged. Money is becoming increasingly virtual, vaporous, and abstract. Attention has become the new currency, as those companies able to focus the attention of the masses take the lead in a new intangible realm, redefining the boundaries of identity (what is private and what is public now? What is personal expression and what promotion?), transmuting culture and society at the core, and reaping extraordinary rewards in the process.

Shaped by the struggles of the revolutionary period, the founding fathers made “freedom of the press” and freedom of speech into key principles of the emergent American republic. Corporate dominance – and collusion between the defense complex and the media conglomerates – has eroded these freedoms in many subtle and overt ways. Today, Net neutrality is an issue that needs active support from an engaged citizenry, as the plausible prospect that the telecoms will be given more power to determine what content is available is a truly horrible one. The notion of protecting the “global commons” could become a rallying cry for civil society.

Although many of the major players avoid acknowledging this, the shaping of attention is an inherently political act. While I use Facebook all the time – to take one obvious example – because that’s where the people (400 million of them) are now, I find it extraordinarily frustrating as a tool. Originally designed to fit the short attention spans of college kids, Facebook maintains the feckless ambience of television. It encourages a passively ironic attitude, for the benefit of the “flattered self” that expects all of the attention pointed in its direction, like a baby who knows it’s mother can’t help but coo over its every move. The architecture of Facebook does not allow for deeper discourse, collaboration or critique. Eventually, I believe it will be superseded by a network that encourages critical and analytical thought, that is carefully designed to support a rapid increase in collective intelligence and the evolution of civil society.

While all sorts of news items float aimlessly through it, Facebook has the overall effect of constricting communication to short, narrow, and superficial exchanges. It is a medium made for a culture of self obsession and distraction, where there is no accountability for ideas that trail away into the ether like comic strip thought balloons. Worst of all, Facebook takes a proprietary control over the data of its users, acting like a vast Panopticon. At the same time, the astonishing spread of Facebook reveals the awesome power inherent in this still-so-new, simultaneously silly and profound, communication medium.

The idea that has not yet surfaced in the mass consciousness is that a social network, or a group or ecology of them, could be designed to bring about a conscious evolution of society, a rapid reorganization of humanity’s productive activities. In the next decade, increasingly severe environmental changes and depletion of resources will radically transform human civilization. Many countries may regress into despotism as frightened mobs fight to hold onto their comforts and privileges against increasingly dispossessed masses. We will either degenerate into barbarism or evolve into a radically unfamiliar post-capitalist and post-socialist state, where sharing, collaboration, and empathy become the norm.

We have a viable opportunity to make a nonviolent transition from a hierarchic to a “holarchic” form of social organization, from a social order that is vertically controlled by a manipulative elite to a horizontally distributed orchestration of power and resources for a new planetary culture. This shift will require not only a new set of cultural and societal practices, but the telling, retelling, and eventual imprinting of a new story. In this process, our fundamental concepts of “the good” and “the beautiful,” our basic understanding of the nature of human freedom and the value of life, will be deconstructed and remade.

We can consider the global financial system, which lives in the same virtual and intangible space as other digital media, as a particular type of social network, an immaterial sheathe of connectivity, that uses an abstract metric to tabulate exchanges of goods and quantify other forms of human energy. The inherent problems built into this system – entirely controlled by private banking interests who issue money into circulation as debt, creating artificial scarcity and fostering cut-throat competition that leads automatically to tragic negligence and dire misuse of resources – are becoming increasingly self-evident. Because financiers devised and run the global markets and central banks, the work of a banker, derivatives trader, or currency speculator is valued at an exponentially, one can safely say obscenely, greater level than that of a kindergarten teacher, carpenter, or midwife. Labor that contributes nothing to the real economy, human freedom, or human knowledge and involves speculative movements of nonexistent capital is most prized, and almost all forms of honest and meaningful work are devalued by this system.

Propping up this deception, an entire mass media complex has developed to manage cultural perception and make people believe the current situation is somehow natural and good, and to keep the masses from developing the analytical tools to question it, and work together to create the alternative. As thinkers like Marx and Marcuse have noted, there remains a difference between false and true consciousness, whether or not individuals are aware of it. Recently, I spoke to a guard who works in the lobby of in an office building that contains a popular yoga studio. I had noticed the guard many times, as he sat still, staring straight ahead, without any reading material or distractions of any sort. I asked him what he used his time to think about. “I’m thinking about all the things I’m going to do when I become rich,” he replied.

His answer startled me. I tend to forget that so many people in our society still believe, with a startlingly naive faith, in the Horatio Alger myth and have even extended this idea: it is no longer the case that people imagine they can become wealthy from hard work and ingenuity. It is more the case that they believe wealth to be their natural right, and expect it to happen to them in the same inevitable way that the sun rises each morning.

This is one reason that the developing situation is so extremely threatening and dangerous to the powers that be: through rigorous indoctrination via the media, they have set up unreal expectations in the populace, who may become irate when it finally dawns upon them that these expectations will never be met. Instead, in reality, the little that they have is being inexorably stripped from them. The recent riots in Greece and France, and the volatile student protests in California, reveal the potential for civil unrest on a scale that will, I suspect, ultimately dwarf what we saw in the 60s.

The proposition that only one form of economy, one type of money, is inevitable and innate to our human nature is a story that our culture tells us and constantly repeats and reiterates to compel our belief in it. In many arenas, a fierce battle is taking place for control of the story. A war is being waged to determine what type of cultural conversations are encouraged and what ideas get systematically suppressed, ridiculed, and rejected. Most people are unwitting participants – I am tempted to say victims – in this struggle.

Because this battle for control of the stories our culture tells about itself – the myths and beliefs that give form and structure to consensus reality – is so crucial and so intense right now, the new mechanisms for distributing, marketing, and promoting new art, challenging information, and radical content are extraordinarily important, not only because they define the culture in which we live, but for our near-term survival as a species. It is not likely that our environment can continue to withstand our primitive technological assault upon it, and our negligence of the basic support systems that give us life.

Part of the new myth that our culture needs to tell about itself, as many thinkers have proposed, is the story of how we became deluded into believing we were separate from the earth, rather than a part of her, and how this led to imbalance and discontent. Another, more controversial element of our new emergent myth, I believe, is the realization that the psychic and physical aspects of our being are not cut off from each other, but inseparable and inextricably meshed.

I began this essay by discussing media distribution, how the extraordinary mobility of creative content today poses challenges that are also amazing opportunities for new ideas to spread rapidly. The potential is for a real alternative, a substantively different paradigm, to emerge rapidly, as the old myths and accompanying belief structure become increasingly untenable. Right now, we have an opportunity to change the underlying story and operating system that runs global society, that determines its priorities and practices. I propose that there is a relatively short window in which we can bring about this change, for a number of reasons. Most intensely, because we are approaching a threshold of civilizational chaos, leading to authoritarian control and ecological collapse, or a reinvention of our world. Also because the controlling forces are seeking to trap the liberatory potential of the Internet in new static forms. This is what ‘Facebook Connect’ suggests to me, among other ways that the Internet is being homogenized.

“Freemarket” advocate Milton Friedman noted that when there is a major crisis, the ideas that get put into practice are the ones that happen to be “lying around.” When the Soviet Union collapsed, neoliberal economists rushed into the void, and managed to institute a “gangsta” capitalism, with public resources sold off to the highest bidder or briber. If we are going to soon see the collapse of our debt-based financial system, it would make sense to plan for this in advance. Can we develop a different foundation, perhaps even a fully functioning prototype, that shows how society can be reorganized to mesh within the limits of the biosphere, while supporting the flourishing of our individual and collective gifts?

If we can create compelling art and media to express this different vision, we now have and are continuing to develop the distribution mechanisms to make a transformative and systemic approach to reinventing society ‘pop’ to the global level of awareness.

@ARR #112, Thanks, babe! I appreciate it You are awesome and I wish you all the best on your continued journey. We (here and elsewhere) have been doing the “lord’s work” as they say. It has been one hell of a trip…haha. We have evolved greatly and we are continuing to evolve. As Salusa always says the journey never ends you just keep going…Although, I think that we will celebrate a tremendous milestone SOON! (That word does get old after a while though

About ten years ago I had a direct and profound communication from a higher dimension (at least, that’s where I think it came from). This communcation had an immediate impact on my life. At the time (back before 9/11), I knew nothing of what is discussed in these messages: ET’s, Ascension, 2012, etc. Everything that came to me in that communication has been in line with what has been revealed to us and what is continually discussed in these messages!

This is why I believe and it has been my compass over the past decade. The most simplistic but also the most profound thing it told me was to “BE NICE”. It said this over, and over, and over! Be NICE.

I think we should all be extremely proud of our efforts and realize the powerful impact we have had on our collective consciousness. Living in this world is tough, really tough, and we all “fall down” from time to time. However, it’s when we get back up that we have truly succeeded.

Be NICE to yourselves, Be NICE to each other, and Be NICE to all of creation

Have a Happy Weekend. Much LOVE

Fergie #149.

Ha Haa!!

You take me back to my childhood where my sister and I would say to our Mother (in Unison) “Be Nice!” to which she would reply “But, I AM Nice!” to which we would respond “Yes.. but BE Nice!”

Nice One!
