			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The memories of Atlantis will surface. They are surfacing and will continue. The use of crystalline material [for energy] will be discovered. It is the use of human psychic energy that resonated with crystalline structures of granite (a form of crystal) that generated energy to power technologies beyond your comprehension at this time.</p>
<p>If there was celestial and terrestrial knowledge before as artifacts show you, do you not think there were advanced technologies before you? You do not remember these times, so why do you discount the achievements of past civilizations? You call the achievements of Ancient Egyptians and Mesoamericans as primitive even as you marvel at them. You marvel that such &#8220;primitive&#8221; humans could achieve such greatness. You are amazed that they were aware of the solar system and Earth&#8217;s place within it. Is it possible you are not the pinnacle of technological advancement? You actually out did yourselves in the past before your global amnesia. Yet, you were never as consciously aware in the past as you are now. In that way, you have far out-stripped your past selves.</p>
<p>We tell you this to trigger your memories of past civilizations that you were a part of for it is in the remembering that you are able to resolve your experiences of the past. You have struggled to awaken from your self-induced amnesia but your memories are too horrific for you. But you must awaken to see who you have been in  order to see who you are. You have had so many variations of experiences on your Earth. Some are terrible for your current awareness but it is necessary to allow these memories to open and integrate for they contain the wisdom and knowledge of eons that when integrated within your consciousness will allow you to progress creatively with ease and grace.</p>
<p>You have not valued your life on planet Earth. You developed belief systems based on a disdain for physicality. You separated that experience from what you call spirituality. In other words, you have faked a separateness of so-called physicality from so-called spirituality. There is no difference. These beliefs have cost you dearly. Ultimately, they cost you your memories of your Earth and celestial experiences. Some of the memories are painful for you do not believe any being could be capable of those experiences. But we will remind you that even in your modern times you try to annihilate Jews, Cambodians, Native peoples in North and South America, Australia, Africans, and the slaughter continues in the Middle East and Africa. So why do you block out the atrocities of the past? Are you afraid you&#8217;ll repeat them? Could it be that you must remember to <em>avoid</em> repeating those times?</p>
<p>You have created illusions of separation to the point of self-aggrandizement supported by your religious, cultural, educational, and governmental institutions. Some of you have come to believe you are special and chosen by your god to be a world super-power. Why you would be chosen to superior to anyone else would be humorous if it weren&#8217;t so disastrous. You actually came to believe god blessed you with the world&#8217;s greatest military because of your worship of this one &#8220;true&#8221; god. How arrogant. Can you not see what your arrogant has wrought?</p>
<p>You have asked for plain talk and we shall deliver it to you for you planned a time in which you would no longer walk in blindness and forgetfulness. This is the time you planned for.</p>
<p>It is you who have created the world as it is. It is you who must create something new to replace it. It is you who believe in the doctrine of separation and it is you who must release these beliefs which blind you to the truth of you. You are creator gods pretending that you are something less.</p>
<p>You have been recklessly playing in your sandbox long enough. It is time now for you to see yourselves as the creators you really are and allow yourselves to grow into the consciousness of your true divine nature in which you recognize the value of all life on and off your planet.</p>
<p>We announce to you now that it is time for god-like maturity and self-responsibility. You are, each and every one of you, responsible for every thing. You and you alone are responsible for your world. The pretense is over. Time to wake up to the true reality of your life on Earth. The universe has awaited your awakening for there are new worlds to create and explore but we await you our loved ones who chose to explore consciousness through unconsciousness.</p>
<p>You chose the experience but with safeguards that you would someday be awakened from your sleepwalk. Today is the day of your awakening. The alarm clock has sounded just as you planned. Gabriel&#8217;s trumpet continue to sound its wake-up call to each of you no matter who or where you are. Some of you are awakening faster and that is as it should be. you are the ones who chose to go first and we are here to support you but it is you who must put legs to your awakening. We cannot do that for you. But it must come from your soul choice to step forth as awakened sons and daughters of the All That Is&#8211;the Great Mystery of the North American First Peoples, Wakan Tanka.</p>
<p>You all are expressions of divine reality and it is time that you began to accept this Truth of You. That is the only way you will ever begin to play well and create well together.</p>
<p>We will continue to remind you as plainly as we can.</p>
<p>We are Hathor and we love you with all compassion for we are possible through you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently, I had a conversation with my Soul Self regarding inter-dimensional communication. Many of you who have been on the journey for a while may not find anything new here. Nonetheless, I&#8217;m putting this &#8220;on the wind,&#8221; a gentle wind, for those who stumble upon this site.   <img src='http://www.thenewgnostic.com/tng/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>We like to think it is an open two-way communication instead of one-way messages from on high. In fact, we on this side find it very funny that you on that side place such a special value on our communications with you. Oh, we do love the communication but it is quite normal and natural for a human to actually talk to us, not as a form of meditation or prayer, but direct conversation. This is what we want the humans to understand. We want you to allow this communication with you.</p>
<p><span id="more-78"></span></p>
<p>But so many of the humans are afraid that they are doing wrong if they open up and talk with us. They have been taught about spirits and spooks to the point that they have come to believe that if the talk with &#8220;angels&#8221; they are committing a sin. They are afraid of evil spirits. Of course, you must use discretion and discernment. If something doesn&#8217;t feel right to you or for you, honor your feelings. you are not in danger; follow your instinct and feelings. If you feel like your energy is being depleted then don&#8217;t have contact and demand that the spirit be gone. (Yes, you have every right to do that.) No entity of love and compassion will ever ask you for adoration, worship, or otherwise ask you in any way for anything that serves to take energy away from you. No entity of love and compassion will tell you what to do.</p>
<p>In fact, the opposite will occur. Any being of love and compassion will honor your choices, including if you choose not to communicate. No matter how much we love speaking with you, we will never demand it of you. We continue to love you and honor you in compassion for you and your choices.</p>
<p>We love so much when humans allow us to come close enough to feel our love and hear our words. But it is not necessary and we do not need such communication for we know that sooner or later in one lifetime or another, or on this side, we will have communion with you once again. We have all the time in the universe—and so do you.</p>
<p>The joy we feel when a human opens up enough to feel us is strong, indeed. Maybe they never allow themselves to consciously talk with us, but eventually the trust will grow until it is commonplace for them to feel our presence.</p>
<p>As you know, they sometimes create all kinds of explanations but it actually comes down to feeling our energy of unconditional love and compassion. By &#8220;we&#8221; we mean all of us and that includes the Soul Self. Make no mistake that your Soul Self is with you and has so much love and compassion for you.</p>
<p>In truth, there really is no separation like there seems to be in your physical world. On this side, we see very clearly how the energetic expressions are merely that—expressions of the One Source. Even in your physical plane there is only a facade of separation. That is the duality at play with you. Each human is a divine expression of his or her Soul Self and the Soul Self is a divine expression of the Source of Life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you breathe us in more and more with each breath, you are expanding consciousness. This simple act of deep but gentle breathing begins to interact with all other energies, even so-called dark energy. The shift begins even with the first conscious breath.</p>
<p>It is not like a battle between good and evil forces. Rather, it is a ripple effect ever widening but never diminishing. The effect is like a guitar string when strummed. The guitar string reverberates and creates sound waves or vibrations which interacts with other objects. For example, a glass of water will begin to ripple if it is in close proximity to the guitar string.</p>
<p><span id="more-66"></span></p>
<p>A singer can shatter a glass when a certain frequency is maintained for a length of time. In much the same way as you continue your/our breath, your frequency expands and interacts with all other frequencies. How these other frequencies react is out of your control&#8230; or concern. You may have friends who begin to respond differently to you. Family members can comment or even become irritated by your presence. You, we assure you, have done nothing wrong. Your consciousness offers all who encounter it a choice. They may not be aware enough to know it or they have no explanation at all. others will be able to &#8220;explain&#8221; it away or rationalize their response to you. Some might even blame you. However, others may very likely want to ask you about what you are doing. They see you untouched by events of the day such as politics, mortgage crises, war, and other circumstances.</p>
<p>As the Earth changes intensify, there will be other opportunities for you to share your story with anyone who comes to you. You are and will be ready.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ruakh&#8221; is an ancient word for wind and breath. It was used extensively in ancient scripts to describe and explain, time and again, the importance of the breath of life. The Mayan word is &#8220;ik&#8221; (pronounced eek).</p>
<p>[Well, that's simple enough.]</p>
<p>Yes, indeed. Simplicity is the best approach to things, including issues of your time. The environment issues have simple solutions if you only stop thinking and talking about how &#8220;complicated&#8221; these issues are. You call them complicated because you are still looking for solutions in the same old ways and places. This is another reason why it is important to expand consciousness.</p>
<p>As consciousness expands, the effect will be that the scientists and people working on the issues will be able to look past the old procedures and problem-solving methods to a clearer approach and understanding. As consciousness expands, new ideas and insights will just &#8220;pop in&#8221; and the scientists will be so surprised and amazed at how simple the solutions are&#8211;and they were there right in front of them all the while.</p>
<p>Expansion of consciousness is necessary for the planet to evolve gracefully and with a much smaller impact on your lives than otherwise. The gentle breath will smoothly allow for transition and transformation as more and more humans are introduced to and begin to practice simply breathing consciously.</p>
<p>Allow you to feel again. Allow you the joy of living. And invite us to join you. Allow the pleasure of life. It is this enjoyment without judgment that comes to you as you breathe deeply All That You Are.</p>
<p>And so as we close our conversation with you, we will remind you to breathe in All That You Are. We are you and you are We.</p>
<p>In La&#8217;kech. [Mayan for "I am you and you are me."]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings, dear ones. We are the Council of Light and we love you dearly.</p>
<p>You are the ones in this lifetime who will show the way to that Divine Spark contained within each human. You will be the ones to show the world that there is no duality, no separation, a belief that has pervaded human thought for too long. Even the ancient Gnostics had come to believe in this dualism. We tell you now that it is a lie. There never was a separation or a fall from grace. Everything you see is part of the whole, an expression of the All That Is Creator.</p>
<p>Yes, there was a descent for lack of a better word into what you now know as the physical realms. But these realms do not exist separately from the angelic realms. They are another expression of the Divine All That Is. The All is complete in and of Itself. The Divine Spark within is merely another expression of an aspect of All That Is.</p>
<p>This idea of duality and separation comes from ignorance or, in other words, forgetfulness. As your human form explored more and more deeply the physical realms they also began to forget their essence. Over eons of time you began to believe that God or the Gods were separate from you and were in fact in charge of you. Over time you allowed these &#8220;Gods,&#8221; the other aspects of you, to take charge and control your lives. You began to pray and supplicate and even offer sacrifice to these aspects of yourselves.</p>
<p>Your amnesia became so deep as to completely cloak your true knowledge (gnosis). You began to doubt, albeit fearfully, that there even was any kind of deity. As your worship of the ancient aspects of yourselves deepened and intensified, your various dogmas became more and more entrenched into your daily lives. As you became more and convinced of the &#8220;truth&#8221; of your beliefs, you became increasingly intolerant of other systems. These religious animosities pervaded all aspects of your cultures.</p>
<p>Convinced of the &#8220;holiness&#8221; of your belief systems you convinced yourselves that it was your duty to carry out the demands of your gods. You came to believe that it was your holy mission to carry forth the &#8220;word of God&#8221; into all lands, regardless of the others&#8217; beliefs or customs. You became so enamored of your belief systems you were ready to die and to kill for your beliefs.</p>
<p>The time has come, dear ones, to acknowledge your past and move on into the present. Now you can and do remember. You are re-acquainting yourselves with all your aspects, including those gods of old that you created for your own enjoyment and experience.</p>
<p>We tell you now that you are evolved beyond any time or place of the past. While many of you were deeply involved with and connected to those ancient cultures, you have moved beyond any of them. Your achievements of integration with your Divine Self is far beyond any time, place, or culture. While you may look upon these ancients with awe and respect, we will remind you that you merely look upon yourselves from the past. Allow yourselves to remember those times, honor those past aspects and expressions of you, then step fully into the Now, into the fullness of All That you Are in the Present.</p>
<p>We know that for some of you letting go of those past times will be difficult. You have much fondness and familiarity of those times. They hold much fascination for you. But if you allow, you can feel the greatness of these Now times. You are on a path of ascension, remaining here on this planet and passing through many &#8220;lifetimes&#8221; within one. It is in this lifetime that can achieve that which was thought about, written about, and hoped for in past times. You have held the meetings and forums in the ancient times in which you discussed these days you live now.</p>
<p>We speak of these things in order for you to begin to see how you often hold onto the past lives and events that were experienced by aspects of you. Many of you helped to create those great civilizations, known and unknown. You were the builders of empires, cultures, and religions. There is nothing you haven&#8217;t done. You foresaw the times when it would be possible to walk the Earth as a Divine Human. You knew it was possible then. You are doing it now. Do you allow yourself to feel the significance of this Now time? And so in this lifetime is your greatest achievement.</p>
<p>You walk this planet in the physical realms fully integrated with All That You Are. That Divine Spark within you is who you are and will go before you making the way clearer for those that follow.</p>
<p>Walking the Earth as the embodiment of gnosis, knowledge, has never been done before. Oh, it was thought about. The question were raised, discussed, and debated. Your great councils and schools of the mysteries explored these phenomena with excitement and interest. Many of you argued that it might be possible to remain physical but still fully embody and integrate with your Divine Truth. Oh, how you longed to know if it were indeed possible. You have longed and hungered for the direct experience of your own God Self and the gnosis (knowledge) that integration would bring.</p>
<p>We tell you now, dear ones, you have and are achieving the experience of integration of gnosis.</p>
<p>Can you trust and love yourself so much to feel the Allness of You? We invite you to breathe with this new knowledge every day and anytime you remember. Breathe in the fullness of You. Breathe in gnost, the gnosis that transcends description and explanation. It will never by described or explained for it is beyond words&#8212;beyond the mind. But it is not beyond experience, feeling, or knowing. It is a grand gift you have offered to yourselves and it is time to allow this experience fully into your lives.</p>
<p>And so, as you breathe forth into this new experience, you will remember more and more of who you are but the past times and  and experiences will mean less and less to you for you will realize the full extent and impact of the Now time to which you have contributed so much.</p>
<p>Now is not the time to be looking back to what you were or what you thought you were. It is time to see yourselves now in the full Divine Light of All That You Are. There has never been a more opportune time in your existence. It is a time of great rejoicing at your accomplishments in this lifetime for you have shed the bonds of the old ways and times. We tell you now that the time is here for you to open to your Godhood. It is time to stop hiding behind your masks of old lives and old experiences. You have brought to yourselves and therefore to the world the greatest gift ever imagined.</p>
<p>Gone are the times of giving away your energies to those who would freely take from your life&#8217;s essence. Now is the time for you to acknowledge and contain your full Divinity. You have worked so hard and endured so much in order to make these times possible. To be able to walk this planet as a Divine Human is one of the most amazing accomplishments. You have created and accomplished much more than you imagine or know at this time. Your experiences are the foundation upon which rests the profound changes occurring all around you and your planet.</p>
<p>And so it is that you have come to this place of lightness and ascension. You have reached the point of no return. You have stopped the progression of the walk into the depths of physicality. And you are stepping forth into All That You Are. You cannot go back even if you wanted to. You see, you are an Ascended Master and we have often reminded you and we will continue to do so for you are that Truth.</p>
<p>You can be assured that you are not being left behind; you miss nothing as you have sometimes wondered. We ask you to allow yourself to feel the love, to breathe in the Love that is All That You Are. Breathe in deeply into the core of you the Truth of Love that is and always has been with you even through the roughest of times. This is the gift that you gave yourselves. This gift of Love that passes all understanding. Indefinable. Inexplicable. Just pure compassionate Love for You.</p>
<p>Breathe in the Breath of Truth, the Breath of Love. Allow yourselves the Joy of this knowing.</p>
<p>We are the Council of Light and we love you, oh, so dearly. You are indeed honored for all you continue to do.</p>

<p>I was concerned that perhaps it was not possible to offer this service to him since I had not talked with him about it while he was still able to communicate on the human level. But I had several &#8220;conversations&#8221; with him energetically.</p>
<p><span id="more-45"></span></p>
<p>About two weeks before his crossing, he became rather alert and clear and asked for the family to gather around. He sang some of his favorite hymns, quoted some favorite scriptures, and was more present than he had been for some time.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t make it to the hospital in time to actually witness all this, but I did talk to him energetically in the car on my way there.</p>
<p>After that day, I didn&#8217;t feel his presence so much with me; however, I continued to prepare myself just in case he wanted a DreamWalk.  I did have some doubts and second-guessing about my ability. This was the first DreamWalk I had done on my own since taking the DreamWalker Death Transition™ School a couple of years ago.</p>
<p>After consulting several physicians and a lot of soul-searching, the family decided it was time that we let Dad go. We reluctantly placed him in hospice care and finally on May 14th I received an early morning phone call from one of my brothers telling me Dad was deteriorating quickly. Soon after the phone call, I began the two-hour road-trip to southeastern Ohio. Sometime between 8:15 and 8:45 am, I began to sense Dad&#8217;s energy. We began to talk and I explained to him that a white light that he might see was the disconnection of the cord linking him to the physical world. I told him that was OK to do that and the white light was just the beginning. I reminded him that I would be available to accompany him on the path to the &#8220;Bridge of Flowers&#8221; if he wanted me to.</p>
<p>I arrived at the nursing home where he was being cared for. My nephew met me at the door, hugged me, and whispered in my ear, &#8220;Grandpa passed on about 8:30.&#8221; Truthfully, I was not surprised and a bit relieved because I knew he had endured so much in the past few years. At this point, I still wasn&#8217;t sure if he wanted a DreamWalk. I spent the afternoon and evening with my mom and the rest of the family.</p>
<p>The next morning, Tuesday, on my way home to Dayton, I began to feel Dad&#8217;s energy once again. Suddenly, I knew where he was. I sensed him at the Bridge of Flowers. He had been a minister and favored dark suits and black ties. There he was, looking nearly fifty years younger in his suit and black tie, grinning that contagious grin that I&#8217;ll always remember, and waving good-bye. But I felt he wasn&#8217;t quite ready to take that final step into the arms of the angels whom I could sense were already celebrating his return. Instead, I sensed that he was waiting to see that everything was OK here. Tears of joy flowing down my face, I stopped at a convenient rest area along the highway, and just sat on a park bench and allowed the celebration to take place in my heart.</p>
<p>On Wednesday the day of the viewing, I awakened early and sat in my office to practice deep breathing while listening to one of my favorite CDs, &#8220;The Silent Path,&#8221; by my friend, Robert Coxon. Once again, I began to feel the presence of my dad. I felt him on the Bridge. I saw that grin. He waved one more time, and then, still grinning, he reached out his hand to the Grand Beings who were there to welcome him home. He was gone.</p>
<p>I turned away from that beautiful bridge and breathed my energy fully back to this side.</p>
<p>I am touched and honored beyond words that he chose to gift me with this experience.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m grinning, too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings, dear ones. We are the Council of Light and we love you dearly.</p>
<p>It is always with honor that we speak with you. We have information for this day that will allow you to consider the approach you wish to take to create your world.</p>
<p>We have spoken with you regarding the new world that is yours to create. There has never been anything like this opportunity before. You have succeeded and now before you is a universe of possibilities. It is time to break the old molds, the old ways of thinking for those ways, while they may have served you well in the past, no longer can function in the new energy, the new times. There is no place for them for they were formed in order to actually preserve the old ways. Once in a while there would be a shift, but for the most part they were there to conserve the status quo, whatever that was at any given time.<br />
<span id="more-14"></span><br />
Now there is the opportunity for new and different ways of thinking. Now you must unleash your imagination for imagination is the brainchild of any new worlds you create. Let not your creations be limited by what was. Allow yourselves to see a world that is far different from what you have experienced until now.</p>
<p>We cannot tell you what that world might look like for we do not know what you will create. All we can tell is that the old ways will have no place in this new energy. They cannot because the vibrations which surround the old cannot sync with the frequencies of the new. If they do, then they are forever changed so that the old ideas will not be applied in the same way. In fact, they would be unrecognizable.</p>
<p>Allow yourselves to imagine what it would be like to have full abundance for all. To explore any place and time at your will. Imagine all the people living in harmony with one another, loving each other. We cannot tell you what that might be like for we do not know. You have not created exactly anything like it on a global scale.</p>
<p>While we are on the topic of abundance, we would like for you to consider expanding your view of abundance. For many of you abundance refers primarily to money. While we understand that important part of your world you have created, we do not think in terms of only money when we use the term &#8220;abundance.&#8221;</p>
<p>In our abundance is a term which we apply to everything known and unknown by you. Abundant love, wealth, joy, food, peace-all things. They are in abundance for you have them already. When they are required they will be there.</p>
<p>You are provided for abundantly. Why then, you may well ask, is there such lack for so many people? We tell you now that is the world you have created based on the eons-old idea that there is lack. You have created a world in which there is a fear of lack, a fear of running out of resources, a fear of running out of food, money, oil, gas, housing, land. Those of you who have begun to hoard do so out of your fear of lack or running out.</p>
<p>You have often gone to war out of fear that someone will cut you off from needed resources. This group belief, group consciousness, is a strong one, indeed. It has been with you since your experiences in the void long before you ever descended into physical form as you know. You have carried these ideas of lack for so long that you have come to believe that it is the natural order of things. There are those who have and those who do not and many in between. No matter how little or how much, most of you will hoard what you have.</p>
<p>Now we are not placing any judgment around what you have created out of fear. We are merely reminding you of what you create. Now we tell you that you can create a different world. You can create a world in which lack is not a concept. Rather you can create a world in which each individual will know that whatever is needed will be provided.</p>
<p>Many of you hesitate to move freely into the spiritual work you know you want to do for fear that you will not be able to make ends meet. So you hold onto the only apparent means that you perceive. We do not suggest that you all quit your jobs and go about your new work. We are suggesting that you change how you perceive your work. Your current jobs could be considered to be transitional. They are temporary until you are ready to move fully into your new work. Some of you will continue where you are because the kind of lightwork you do is done at the work place. In other words, you are not there for the job really. You are there for you are holding a light in places that need that. There are those around you who are being effected by your light. And you may not even know them. That is not to say that you will always be there. But for now that is your work. We know that may not be what you want to hear, but we are giving you information, not directions, about the way things are now. We do not tell you what to do. Ever.</p>
<p>Some of you are prepared and ready. Your time will come for you. Patience is in order as all the things you have placed in motion align in the way you have set them up.</p>
<p>We ask that you open to a new way of seeing your circumstances. Yes, we know you would love on one level to quit your jobs and write your books. On another level, you are not quite ready. It is never an either-or decision. Look at your current resources and see them as a means to support your passion for writing the books, the songs, the music. Find the things in your work that really need no longer be done by you. And give Caesar his due, but give Spirit and your lightwork its due as well.</p>
<p>Some of you already have orchestrated your work to be able to follow your passion. We honor and love yo all wherever yo are on your path for all is appropriate. You can do no wrong thing here. You must move at whatever pace serves at any given time.You are not a failure, dear ones, if yo do not immediately have what yo want or dream about. We want yo to know that you are dearly loved and honored for all the you have done. You are moving at a pace that is appropriate for you. There is no need to be hasty. There is plenty of time. Meanwhile, we want yo to know that the work you are doing that you don&#8217;t even know you are doing, is reverberating throughout the universe. It is effecting us all, freeing all of us to move forward. And you aren&#8217;t even aware. But you will be. You will be.</p>
<p>We so love to meet with you like this and speak with you so directly. We so appreciate our partner for being our spokesman for he too has chosen to follow his heart and his passion. We have waited so long for the right time. And now it is here.</p>
<p>We will continue to meet with you for these talks for as long as we are needed. We will never leave you.</p>
<p>We are the Council of Light and we do love you, dearly.</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>In the area of human growth, we would say that there has never been a time or opportunity like now on this planet. While there have been many advanced civilizations on this planet besides Atlantis and Lemuria, humans have surpassed any and all of those civilizations. In some ways, these societies developed amazing technologies but they never reached the heights that current humans have on a spiritual level.</p>
<p>Never before has there been the opportunity to expand consciousness throughout the universe. In fact there were many who thought this effort would fail also. Earth Experiment had virtually been dismissed as a failure. But you humans changed all that when you decided to move beyond war and destruction. Enough of you stopped believing in the old ways that were not working. You saw that the things that had been taught and tried for centuries were no longer valid. &#8220;What had changed?&#8221; you asked.<br />
<span id="more-13"></span><br />
You began to question the old ways and many were born who had no concept of those beliefs and values. Together you changed everything. Gone was global destruction and disease scenario. You began to believe there was another way. You weren&#8217;t sure what that would be but you knew that there could be a better world. You began to dream. You dreamed of a time when the Earth would be pristine once again. You dreamed of a time when humanity would look upon one another with deep love, respect and compassion. You dreamed of a time when your life would be free from disease, anger and pain. You dreamed that heaven had come to Earth. Home had come to you.</p>
<p>And so it is that you have created Heaven on Earth. Oh, the residue of the old way persists, but you changed the ending of the play. You dear Earth Angels have brought the love energies to Earth in such a way and with such force that all other vibrations will soon attune themselves with the new.</p>
<p>We will remind you at this time that the new energies are not static. They are continually shifting and changing along with human consciousness. Do not think that there is or will be a finite end to these changes. That can never be so. These changes are evolutionary. Your imaginations, while fertile, have not grasped the grandeur and promise of what you have accomplished. Instead of an end, there is a beginning. It is truly a never-ending story. For as you imagination expands and awakens further you will create what has never been dreamed. You are the dreamers the creators of the new worlds. If only you could see what you have done already, you would not believe it. You will see in time and your astonishment will be great indeed.</p>
<p>For now, the veil is still in place but we tell you that it is but for a very short time. You are awakening at such a pace that even we are astonished. We never thought you could go so far so fast. But you have. You are. We are so pleased. We bow to you for we are truly in awe of the human angels who sacrificed their memories of home to expand the consciousness of God. You volunteered time and time again. You are the explorers, the discoverers. And you have exceeded all expectations. This you will know soon. You will see. You will believe.</p>
<p>Dear human angels we want you to know how dearly you are loved. We are so honored to be part of the great experiment. We yearn for the time when the veil will be gone and we can once again commune with you as we do on the other side of the veil.</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>
