			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been feeling disconnected the past few days, as though my Soul Self was no longer near by.</p>
<p>Today I began to realize there had been a shift in my energy field, meaning that I had to feel &#8220;Us&#8221; in a different way and in a different place. I had to trust my knowing that when I write or when I speak, I Am speaking with One Voice. It is not so much that I channel &#8220;Us&#8221;. I channel All That I Am, All That I Am channels me.</p>
<p>This is very much different from what we have come to know as channeling. The old form of channeling was that a human would give permission to allow messages from entities to come through. There was little participation on the part of the human who was acting as a medium or channel for the entity&#8217;s message. Then we upgraded to a new way in which the channeler was somewhat of a participant by remaining aware and acting as interpreter.</p>
<p><span id="more-84"></span></p>
<p>In this new consciousness there is very little, if any, distinction between the channeler and the message. The channeler is a fully aware participant as the message comes from the Soul Self of the channeler. The Soul energy may be a blend or meld of others&#8217; energies, but in the new consciousness the channeler/messenger is speaking with his or her One Voice.</p>
<p>The One Voice is a meld of the Soul Self and at times others; for example, Quetzalcoatl, Ra, Metatron, Saint-Germain, and/or others. There may be circumstances in which one or the other is identified, but for all intents and purposes the Soul Self speaks with its own authority and integrity.</p>
<p>This new way may take some time for other humans to accept because many are still looking to the old consciousness places for the messages from Spirit. They will still be able to find what they need, but will perhaps begin to open up and look in new places for the messages they want to hear. Eventually, they will discover that they hold within themselves the means and abilities to receive their own guidance and messages.</p>
<p>You see, each person&#8217;s Soul Self is the purest message and energy that any human can experience. Oh, the ones on the other side of the veil love to speak with us, but they encourage us to listen to our own Soul&#8217;s guidance first and foremost.</p>
<p>Listening to and accepting guidance from our Soul Self is what is meant by &#8220;following Divine Will.&#8221; As god also, the loving and compassionate guidance of our Soul Self is the purest form of guidance we can receive. Oh, it is indeed joyful to communicate with all the others who also lovingly offer support and encouragement, but the purest form of communication comes from our Soul Self. I know there is some redundancy here, but it is very important that the awakening human realize the significance of his or her own Soul Self.</p>
<p>In the old consciousness, we humans tended to run to others for our inspiration because we did not trust our Soul Selves to &#8220;do the job&#8221; for us. We did not realize that our Soul Self was actually as grand an entity or angle as, say, Lord Michael or Tobias, or whomever. We were in denial of our own Divine Nature.</p>
<p>In this new consciousness, we expand our awareness to embrace the magnificence of our Soul Self, but not at the exclusion of those others who have been so loving and faithful in their reminders and proddings to us to awaken into the knowing of All That We Are.</p>
<p>Our Soul Self is God also and is waiting for our invitation to come so close that we no longer feel a distinction between the human self and the Soul Self. The current human personality being expressed on this Earth at this time can integrate with the Soul Self and, if we choose so, the human self can actually embody the Soul Self. This goes beyond integration to actual embodiment of All That We Are.</p>
<p>This is ascension. This is walking upon the Earth as a divine human, with full consciousness of the Soul Self. In other words, we follow the example of Yeshua and others, which, of course, does not make us better than anyone else. It merely indicates that we are more aware than many others. We are perhaps inspirations to other humans who may begin to awaken.</p>
<p>For centuries it was believed by many humans that this kind of awareness or consciousness was only available to a select few and then only after being freed from the physical body. Perhaps that was true in those times, but in this new consciousness, it is available to everyone.</p>
<p>It is possible to step out of mass consciousness into new consciousness while remaining here on the planet as human.</p>
<p>And that is worth staying here for.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings, dear ones. We are the Council of Light and we love you dearly!</p>
<p>It is a time of great change for you and all of your creation. This change is coming rapidly now and with great conflict within many humans. As you feel the old slipping away, a feeling of uncertainty and fear can seem to take hold. This feeling of being out of control is true. You <em>are</em> out of control. You were never in control. This belief system you created that allows you to be in control is an illusion.<br />
<span id="more-42"></span><br />
You have been walking in a hypnotic state, an illusion, that you control your life. You even have come to believe that you can control the Earth changes around you. You believe that you collectively are the cause of the Earth&#8217;s fever and upheavals. That, too, is an illusion. You may contribute but you do not cause. Of course, you have contributed various and sundry elements into the atmosphere in the form of hydro-carbons and other chemicals. This only helps to warm up the atmosphere more quickly, but it is not the cause.</p>
<p>You planet is a living entity. She is not &#8220;sick&#8221; as many of your environmentalists would have you believe. (They are not intentionally lying to you; it is a belief they have based upon limited &#8220;scientific&#8221; information.) Planet Earth is going through a process that if she were human you would call &#8220;ascension.&#8221; She is evolving and the process triggers certain physiological changes just as it does within a human going through a similar process.</p>
<p>You do not need to concern yourselves with her changes. We tell you now, look to yourselves as you allow yourselves to expand and grow. As you do, you will discover that the Earth changes do not effect you as much. As you accept your changes along with her changes, you will begin to notice a flow, and an easing of the tension.</p>
<p>If you will continue to practice your deep breathing, your changes will come into sync with Earth changes. In that way you are actually &#8220;helping&#8221; her, the planet, in her process. The process becomes compatible and reciprocal.</p>
<p>It is important that you continue to breathe and allow your Divine Selves to come closer and integrate with you. This integration process will happen and is happening naturally<em> if you choose it to be that way.</em></p>
<p>We realize it is easy to be caught up in the drama of your media events, but that is a choice that you can make. You can stand back as an observer, rather than a participant. Your ability to look to yourself, to breathe in All That You Are, does and will continue to do more for the processes occurring within and around you than any kind of activism you could participate in.</p>
<p>These are great and historic times that you are experiencing. It is a time of great celebration for the humans, you, are awakening to your Godhood, your Creatorship. If you choose  to allow yourselves to be distracted by the melodrama swirling around you, you could miss the joy of the celebration. We are not saying you will miss the process, but you could miss the party!</p>
<p>DEAR ONES, YOU ARE THE CREATORS. YOU HAVE RESPONDED TO THE WAKEUP CALL THAT YOU GAVE YOURSELVES. IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO STEP OUT OF YOUR RESTRAINTS AND HESITATION AND PARTICIPATE FULLY IN THE EVENT YOU CREATED.</p>
<p>It was not us on this side of the veil who created this grand event. It was and is you, the Ascended Masters, the Grand Angels of Light, who took on the density of physicality and proceeded to step out of the hypnotic fog of physicality. You chose to step out of Mass Consciousness into a new age of true enlightenment and awareness. We on this side of the veil are your strongest supporters, your most admiring cheerleaders, for you have accomplished what many on this side thought was not possible.</p>
<p>It was a long shot, or so it was believed by many. We tell you now, do not believe the continuous lies and illusions emanating from your media, from those who are choosing to continue the sleep walk. Their beliefs are holding them back, but they cannot and do not hold you back.</p>
<p>You are the creators, the masters, who have answered the call from that innermost and glorious Being within. You have responded to that Divine One that you are, the One who is whispering so lovingly to your heart to awaken you as gently as you wish.</p>
<p>And so it is, dear masters, that we encourage you to breathe in fully the Grand One that you are. Step fully and fearlessly into the new divine clothes of All That You Are.</p>
<p>We are the Council of Light and we love you dearly and  completely.</p>
<p>You are never alone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In early November, 2006, I recorded a series of channels presenting a metaphorical way of beginning to integrate all the facets or &#8220;aspects&#8221; of you as a spiritually aware human with your Soul Self. You can create this metaphorical house as a safe space in which to begin to love yourself so completely that all the many facets of you will feel safe enough to come home. These varied aspects are waiting to return to you, their creator. It is not necessary to know or to seek out each one. They will return when you are ready, when you fall in love with YourSelf. They are just waiting for you invitation.</p>
<p>Although there are many ways to begin the integration process, you might enjoy this one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings, dear ones. We are the Council of Light and we are here to help you realize who you really are, each and every one of you.</p>
<p>There is so much love for you and honor for what you have accomplished that there are many from all over your universe who have come. Some are here to pay their respects, others out of curiosity, for the word has spread that the Great Experiment didn&#8217;t fail this time. There were to be no more attempts for as was agreed there could only be so many. This was the last. But you did it! You changed all that. You are indeed grand beings of light.</p>
<p>What we wish to speak of today is a subject that has been little discussed. It is one that we feel you are ready to hear and one that you can hear.</p>
<p>Sometime in your past there was an event that shattered your world as you knew it. There was a time of great peace and harmony across your planet of Earth and there was tremendous progress being made. You were free to discover your Higher Selves and purposes. This was a time similar to your stories of Camelot but it wasn&#8217;t Camelot. This was a time before Camelot. There was great communication among the peoples of the land. It was thought by many of the guardians that this was the beginning of the success of the experiment. There was great rejoicing on this side of the veil.</p>
<p>There were in those days, as now, those entities who had opposed the experiment and had never really agreed to it, not even the smallest compromise. They felt that if the experiment were to actually succeed that their power and authority would be in question.</p>
<p>How could these ones (humans) who had taken on the task be worthy in a sense to be doing that work? These opposing entities wanted, as now, to keep things exactly as they were. Some of them began to take human form and began to infiltrate the societies that were flourishing in those days.</p>
<p>These &#8220;newcomers,&#8221; we will call them, began to spread discontent among the populations. They would tell of accomplishment by others and began to compare cultures. It seemed that some were more successful than others. Differences began to be noticed more and more. As this discontent grew, some of the newcomers began to explain to &#8220;their people&#8221; how they might be able to attain or in some instances obtain what others had.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that the newcomers infiltrated all cultures and worked with each other to develop the discontent. However, the Earth peoples did not know of the relationship among the newcomers, except a few of the wise ones who would warn of the problems with these destructive ideas being introduced by newcomers.</p>
<p>It is not that we say the newcomers were evil. They were attempting to keep things the way they had been. Who had every heard of Spirit descending into the density of physicality? It was beneath the dignity of such beings to so lower themselves. It was degrading in a way, from their point of view. Why not continue as before? Why pursue such imaginings?</p>
<p>And so it was that they set out to subvert the Experiment. What if these results would mean that somehow the volunteers would gain even greater significance and standing? Why they might become even as God. And no one was greater than that, so they reasoned.</p>
<p>And so it was that the ideas of ownership of things and who owned what and who didn&#8217;t and how they could begin to obtain their fair share were born. The eons old rivalries began anew, hearkening back to those times in the void when each entity sought what they thought they had to get what they needed.</p>
<p>The powers which the people had discovered began to be used against neighboring cultures. The advances in science and technologies began to be used in ways designed to weaken the perceived enemies.</p>
<p>As the struggles grew so did the weapons of destruction. There were a few voices raised in warning but so many had come to believe that they had to do what &#8220;needed to be done&#8221; to save themselves.</p>
<p>Escalation followed escalation until each side was weakened. Eventually, as always the ultimate weapon was designed as a deterrent to war. It was dubbed, &#8220;the Peacemaker.&#8221;</p>
<p>And make peace it did. After it was finally used by one of the factions, so total was the destruction that there was nothing left to fight for&#8230; or die for.</p>
<p>Peace returned to the land. But not in the way a few had envisioned.</p>
<p>We share this story with you in order to illustrate what you have done.</p>
<p>You were on the same path as the ancients in our story. But his time, unlike so man times before, you didn&#8217;t go along, you didn&#8217;t listen to those that recited the old beliefs and religions of difference and separation. You didn&#8217;t follow the teachings of old that were founded in fear and segregation.</p>
<p>You chose a different way.</p>
<p>At a cellular, core level you listened to your hearts, not your fears. Oh, it was not easy for you. So many of you chose to be born into fear-based families and beliefs. So many of you were frightened, so many times. For some, even your fathers, mothers, and brothers and sisters frightened, misused, and abused you. Yet, you chose a different way. The way of the heart for you know as the beloved Yeshua knew, &#8220;they know not what they do.&#8221; Through your struggles and through your pain, you chose to see things not as it was, but as it ought to be as your musical, &#8220;Man of La Mancha&#8221; has reminded you.</p>
<p>Dear ones, we want yo to know just how much you are honored and loved. Oh, if you could only see yourselves as we see you. The brilliance, the capacity of love that you have is truly awesome for us to behold. And we rejoice for we know that one day soon, you will be able to see what we see, to know what we know.</p>
<p>Someday you will know what you have done. You have changed the universe. <em>You have changed us.</em> Did you know that? You have freed us to become more and more of what we are. You have allowed us to move to other levels as well. And we so honor you and think you for it.</p>
<p>And now we wish to pause for a moment at this time. Just take a moment now and allow us to touch you. Allow yourselves to feel that touch on the shoulder, that wash of love around you, that wave of chills that has become so familiar to so many of you.</p>
<p>Yes, dear ones, it is true. We are here and we rejoice that you are able to once again recognize us, our energy that we have so often sent to you, even when we knew that you could not recognize the love.</p>
<p>We leave you now, but we don&#8217;t ever really leave. We just withdraw for a brief time until it is time to once again come to visit at your invitation, with your permission.</p>
<p>Dear ones, we are the Council of Light, and we love you so dearly.</p>
<p>August 27, 2002</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now we will turn to another subject. This is of great interest to you because you have so many beliefs surrounding what you call &#8220;the afterlife.&#8221; We find this somewhat amusing since there is only life. We, of course, know you are referring to after physical life but we would remind you that there is no death. There is transition and change.</p>
<p>On of the great questions you have is regarding past lives or reincarnation. There is in some of your religions a rejection of the idea of post lives. We tell you now that in some respects that is truth from the stand point of there being no past really. But in the illusion you have created for yourselves, there is a past and past lives. You created this so that you could experience as many different aspects of physical life as possible.<br />
<span id="more-12"></span><br />
We will tell you now that the idea of karma as many of you see it is not accurate. Karma is not a form of justice. It is not a way of reward and punishment. While the idea of reaping what you sow is appealing to many, that is not the way things work. The idea is based on beliefs that the things people do are recorded and in one lifetime or another they will receive some reward or punishment of equal measure.</p>
<p>Another belief surrounding karma is that one must try in each lifetime to build up the good karma so that one receives the benefits in each succeeding lifetimes the rewards are greater and greater. This also has another aspect that one continues to grow spiritually through good works and deeds and then eventually one no longer &#8220;has&#8221; to come back to make corrections to previous mistakes.</p>
<p>We say again that these ideas are not accurate.</p>
<p>Each lifetime is pre-planned by your before you ever incarnate. This is not the same thing as predestination. You always have free will on your planet you can change the plan at any time, though most of you do not since you do not recall ever having planned the experience previously. What actually occurs is that you all plan the roles and experiences with each other in advance. Often these are role reversals in order to experience a variety of lives and to experiment with how these experiences might help each other to progress to the point of actually beginning to remember who you really are.</p>
<p>These experiences have nothing to do with rewards and punishments. They have to do with the experience of being in the physical world in order to raise the vibration to the point of being able to experience the Divine Self while still in physical form. This is actually ascension and that is the purpose which you created.</p>
<p>The experiment generally speaking was to descend into high density matter and then ascend to the point of &#8220;reuniting&#8221; with your Divine Spirit. It is an experiment to see if spirit and flesh could merge without necessitating the &#8220;elimination&#8221; of either. In other words, was it possible to move into another lifetime or lifetimes without going through physical death?</p>
<p>There were many &#8220;angels&#8221; who volunteered to participate in the experiment. A small planet was chosen for the experiment. It was in an out of the way location and it was under the protection of the Archangels. They were to insure that the &#8220;lab&#8221; would not be interfered with by entities who did not agree with the experiment. There were many guardians who were sent as well, many of whom are in human form. Others are here in spirit form.</p>
<p>These guardians you might wish to call them guardian angels, do not forget who they are and where then are from. They are here to &#8220;guard&#8221; against the darkness taking over. It is not necessarily so that these &#8220;demons&#8221; as you might call them are evil. It is just that they do not wish things to change because they have great powered in the old energy. They were given great power by humans who were fearful and, as humans become stronger, they begin to take back the power they have been giving away. Now it is the &#8220;dark ones&#8221; who are frightened of losing their power. They do not realize that the power can be transformed and can be used to move forward with the rest of the universe.</p>
<p>The energy, as you know, has shifted. The energy of light has expanded to such a an extant that the guardians purpose has shifted as well. This has and will cause pain for many of them as the purpose changes. Some will actually not be able to adjust to these changes and will return home. While there is no judgment about this, it a time of terrible adjustment for many of them will have a sense of failure and will undergo a period of intense self-examination to deal with this sense of failure. As we said this a very intense procedure and may continue for a long period of time from an Earth perspective.</p>
<p>The ones who are able to stay will and are suffering as well. They came to do a particular job and now that service is no longer needed and they now must shift to a different purpose. Many of them were dreadfully pained when the World Trade Center event occurred. They all knew they could have prevented the events and those in the Middle East if they had been allowed. They are in pain over this but they have a strong sense of duty and commitment to Divine Will.</p>
<p>They well stay as long as necessary to work with other humans and angels who are awakening. These guardians realize that the awakening ones will take over the tasks that are now being performed by the guardians. The Guardians wish to return home as soon as possible and so they are working continuously and tirelessly to continue the transformation to the new energies.</p>
<p>As this transformation continues, these guardians will slowly return to their places on the &#8220;other side of the veil.&#8221; Humans will take on more and more of the responsibility of Earth/Solar System stewardship. This transfer of power is happening very rapidly now. The tide has turned so to speak.</p>
<p>The energies are intensifying in your Middle East as the transfer continues. There are forces which are desperate to hold on to power and there are humans who are cooperating with those forces. These are not evil humans. They are out of touch with their Divine Selves and are turning to powers that they believe they can use for their own power on Earth.</p>
<p>This conflict will continue for some months perhaps years as the energy to destroy is depleted. They will eventually tire of the conflict when they see that neither side is gaining an advantage.</p>
