Our environment is changing. The core energy for Planet
Earth is already dramatically intensified, with more increases
to come. You feel this energy boiling through your entire being
-- physically, emotionally, spiritually. Everyone is influenced.
Each person reacts in his own way, but for everyone: It's
time to greet the new and close the door on the old. It's time
for hellos and goodbyes.
On this planet, everyone is racing through the lessons of life
at a faster pace, learning by making choices and experiencing
the consequences of those choices. The consequences now come more
quickly and more intensely than ever before. Any area where your
life lacks balance and harmony is ripe for correction. For this
reason, most of you are making drastic adjustments to your lives
at this time, and change usually triggers strong emotion. Many
people respond negatively when something big (a job, person, a
place to live) changes. Such resistance comes from fear. Effort
to move smoothly and gently through the transitions of living
will help. Resistance may slow your soul's growth and forward
movement. As changes occur and exciting new aspects enter your
life, remember your farewells to whomever or whatever you leave
behind, but greet and embrace the new!
While here on Earth, you work to complete a lifeplan, a blueprint
for living you created for yourself before your birth. Deep within
your consciousness, you hold the memory of this plan and how to
accomplish it, and now its time to awaken this memory, to bring
it more fully into your daily thought processes. Please be aware
that up to now you've been following your lifeplan subconsciously.
Your choice of personality and family got things started. The
other life choices you've made so far were mostly consistent with
the plan, because your tendencies and general preferences were
preset. Your life will flow infinitely more smoothly, however,
if you learn how to read and follow the blueprint consciously.
This is accomplished by using meditation, dreams and countless
daily flashes of comprehension.
Why work to understand your lifeplan? Actually, in many ways your
life may flow quite well with you still operating in the dark
about it. But today's shifting energies mean that the pathway
of your life curves and twists like a mountain road -- much more
difficult to maneuver in the dark than a straight roadway. Regaining
memory of your lifeplan is like turning on headlights while driving
at night; it helps you manage all the curves and obstacles in
the path you travel.
Knowledge of your lifeplan helps you recognize the people who
appear in your life to help you with your plan. They may be friends,
family members, or neighbors. They may be your classmates learning
the same lessons or workmates who'll help you complete a project.
These are people to greet with affection, making room for them
in your life. Such companions feel quite magnetic to you, drawing
you closer. When new ones appear, you may have the feeling of
having known them for a long time, even upon first meeting them!
This almost-instantaneous comfort is a huge clue for you, telling
you to look inward for some insight into what work you have to
complete with this new associate. In general, this is one of the
more enjoyable aspects of your lifeplan: making connection with
old friends to complete lessons and tasks.
Of course, the flip side of this is that other companions will
be leaving your life -- some by physical distance, some by emotional
distance, some by death. Increasing distance may appear with a
companion of long-standing, which likely tells you that a lesson
or project with that person (or job, or home, or situation...)
is nearing completion. Often times, the arrival of new aspects
occurs in close proximity to the departure of completed aspects.
Like birth and death, they are intimately connected.
How do these concepts work in real life? You may have a sense
of discomfort with your current job and/or the people at your
workplace. You can ignore this but if this is a critical transition
(one that is extremely important for completion of your life's
work), you may find yourself feeling victimized by a sudden termination
of that job! Of course, the termination forces you to make the
transition that you resisted, and you will then seek out a job
that is probably much more satisfying and pleasing than the old
one. We are suggesting, however, that you smooth this necessary
change by sensing it's approach, looking inward for memories of
your lifeplan to understand more of what comes next, and then
watching closely for the doorway to the new situation. This helps
the transition occur in the most pleasant and gentle way possible.
For example, you may feel drawn to take a course of training in
night classes that leads you directly to a new job BEFORE the
old one is terminated.
At this time, there is a great deal of change happening in a short
time frame, so be alert to the rapid and frequent shifting that
is underway. Be aware that MANY souls are using this time to leave
the planet and prepare for their next lifetime. For some, death
is a response to failed lessons from earlier in this lifetime
-- problems that took them too far off their lifeplan to get back
on track. Getting on with the next lifetime is the best way they
can move forward in spiritual growth. For others, death is occurring
as planned, at the time and in the way that they intended all
along. With all sorts of departures, whether the end of a friendship
or the actual death of a friend, you will move through the transition
best if you seek an understanding of the bigger picture. A more
cosmic viewpoint is a helpful way to minimize grief.
Your job right now? Stay on the roadway, driving smoothly around
the twists and turns. Watch for signs, for if you don't, you may
end up in some unknown town instead of your intended destination!
If a companion needs to drive off in another direction, wave goodbye
happily and begin watching for some friendly faces headed in the
same direction as you. Use your inner resources to remember where
you're headed; you drew the map yourself, so you hold it
within.
It's time for all sleepwalkers to awaken; it's time to turn on
the headlights!
