Where do we go from here after the Winter Solstice and 12/21/2012?

We are here with you tonight and always.

Where do you want to do?  What is the highest and brightest and best future you can imagine — for yourself and those you hold dear?  The possibilities at this time are many and varied.  

You have in front of you a whole new world to create, however you — collectively and individually — want to create it.  

You have the opportunity to let go of the shackles that have kept you bound to your past.

You have the opportunity to recreate your world in a way that works for everyone.

There is no fixed or rigid “plan” for you or your world.  There are so many ways that you can go and so many ways that you can grow.  

As José said, you do not have to know “how” — you only need to be willing to keep an open mind and an open heart and allow yourself to dream big.  Your world will be very different in just a few short years if the Older Souls are willing to accept the responsibility that is now in front of you.

Collectively, your power for good is very great — far greater than you yet realize.

As you step forward and allow yourself to dream big, you will connect with others who are also dreaming big.

Your energy will connect with them and you will be drawn to situations where you can validate that you are doing good work in the world.

As you begin to see results, you will gain in confidence, which will reinforce that you are on the right track.  And, so the collective energy grows into that new direction that you have dreamed.

Remember that dreams are not rigid plans — dreams are big ideas that inspire you and draw you, or push you, toward something much larger than yourself alone.  And, your dreams are shared by many  others.

Your entity — us — are with you at all times and support your dreams.  Your cadre is also connected to your dreams and help support your move forward. Your energy ring and the Michaels’ energy ring supports your dreams.  And, so on, and so on, and so on.

There is tremendous power available to assist you in your growth and evolution and in creating a better world on your physical planet. 

You won’t see all of it in your life on Earth, of course.  This is a long-term dream that will grow and expand over many, many lifetimes of physical lives.

Do you feel hope?  If so, allow that to fuel your dreams.  You are no longer constrained by smallness and rigidity. 

Each day, take time to simply think or say or write something like, “I wonder what wonderful ways our world could be better?”

Let your imagination flow.  Allow yourself to feel inspired, to inspire others, to feel the beauty all around you, to see the love pouring forth from so many souls like you who are longing to live better, to be better than you ever thought possible. 

We are here with you whenever you ask or whenever you feel a need.  We support your dreams and your desire to ask for help in moving forward.

We wrap you in love and hope and know that all possibilities are available to you as you dream big.

From our perspective, all is right with the world and it is getting better and better each moment.

Much love, your entity.

I woke up about 3:30 AM and couldn’t get back to sleep so I got up and wrote my January 2013 article.  See http://www.itstime.com/jan2013.htm.  Obviously, my entity was still with me as I wrote and I felt like I was in a really good place – very “up” and it flowed very easily.  It turned out not at all like I expected earlier in the week.

Meditation for love

We did a meditation to give and accept love for ourselves, similar to one I did last Sunday at my church.  

The meditation goes like this (as best I can remember it):

From the base of your spine, imagine a silver cord going deep, deep down into the Earth, wrapping itself around the core of the Earth.  That silver cord holds you steady, and connected to the Earth.  

Relax your body – imagine that your body feels like a piece of chocolate or a pat of butter, and allow your body to melt into your chair.  Rest into your chair knowing that the silver cord is holding you safely. 

Now, take yourself to a beautiful place where you feel joy and happiness.  

Open your heart and imagine some one or some thing that you love deeply.  Fill your heart and your body with that love that you feel.  Allow your heart to open as wide as you can and breathe in that love, allowing it to fill all the empty places inside yourself.  Allow that love to heal your scars and hurt places.  

Let that love wrap all around you like a pink cloud, surrounding you with love.

Open your heart even wider and breathe in your love, letting it completely fill your body, your aura, your heart and your mind.

Now, imagine some one who loves you.  You can bring them into your space or not.  Allow that feeling of being loved surround you and fill all the empty places within you.  Open your heart even wider and feel your own love and the love from someone else filling you completely, filling all the empty places inside you, around you and healing you.

This love is for you, it is you.  Love is all there is.  You are love, you are the gift of love and you are the receiver of love.  Love is for YOU and can heal anything you want it to heal in your body, your heart or your soul.  

—
Stay in that place of love as long as you wish.  15-20 minutes is good.  This is a gift you give to yourself. 

Expect that tears will flow as you heart chakra opens and your emotional center opens, as it should.

About love and breakups

Question: What is the relationship between {names removed} about?  Why is {name removed} having such a difficult time getting past it? 

We are with you tonight.

Love on an essence level is striking when encountered in human beings.  It is a powerful reminder of the love that is the core of who we are who you each are.

The depth of love is a connection to Source — the Tao, All That Is.  When that pure love strikes, it is so powerful and so compelling t hat it cannot be missed.

And, when the physical bodies and personalities conflict, the loss of that love feels devastating.  As well it should, for it is a beautiful thing to experience.

The ecstasy is what the Essence lives for.  The personality has different goals and is not usually willing to let the Essence take over to the extent it would like in a physical lifetime.  So, breakup occurs, and deep grief and longing are the result.

In many ways, such love is a reminder of what you all left behind when your Essence entered into the physical body and earthly incarnation.  It is a powerful longing to “return home” to that powerful ecstasy of pure love. 

There are, of course, memories of past lives together, of karma incurred and resolved, and not resolved.  

The personality will do a great deal to prevent — or try to prevent — two people from focusing all their attention on each other as deeply as you would like.  It will “act out” in all sorts of ways that seem to be very real, to keep you from each other.

There can be other “reasons” why life between two such intimately connected souls would not pursue a closer, more long-term relationship.  Life tasks may be different and may not be fulfilled if the two souls are so tightly connected.

In this case, we suggest that she do some work on her own to uncover what she can learn from the depth of the experience — what she learned, what she did or didn’t do to contribute to the breakup, what she might want to do differently in the future.  Or, if she is willing to give up her personality’s needs in order to maintain a relationship with the intensity that would be required if she were to try to resurrect it again.

We also suggest that she view it from a place of immense gratitude for what she was able to achieve in truly being touched deeply by the Beloved.  It is a magical experience — maybe a “once in a lifetime" experience — that many people never get to experience.

Some introspection on what she is grieving for might be useful.  Is it the feeling of being loved?  The feeling of deep love for another soul?  The excitement and anticipation of being with the Beloved, etc.

This might help her to be clearer in her own mind and in her heart about what she truly wants in her lifetime.

Remember also that life — physical life — is to be lived and part of that deals with loss and grief, and part deals with learning to love unconditionally. That is the only reason we are here to help you — to help you learn to love more deeply and more completely. 

Love is truly all there is.  All else is illusion and maya. When you can love, in whatever form it takes, you are far more than just a physical body.  You are expressing the divine essence of who you are — a fragment of a magnificent universe that knows only love.  

Of course, the apparent loss of that love is devastating.  And, nothing is ever lost.  You still have all the love that is possible.  It is not necessary to have another physical person to tap into that love.  Your culture teaches you otherwise — that having a “mate” is the way to happiness.  It can be, and it can be the way to sorrow.  

For two people to have a deep, long-lasting relationship, each personality must give up a great deal of control.  Many are unwilling to do that, therefore, breakups occur.

Love is a topic that could go on all night and forever.  We will leave you with these thoughts to consider.

What are orbs?

We are here with you tonight and always.

Orbs are what is commonly known as energy signatures. 

At some time in your culture, someone captured an “orb” in a way that allowed it to manifest in a physical way on a photograph.  As word spread and people tried to understand, agreements were formed that this is an “acceptable” method for energy to express itself so that those who want to see with their eyes could have someone “concrete” to point to.

It has now become part of your culture and is becoming more mainstream.

The “orb” is simply one way to capture the many expressions of god, spirit, angels, essence, spirit guides, or whatever people want to call them.

When there are many orbs as in your summer solstice gathering, that reflects the great energy that was there.

As you know, when people gather to pray or do spiritual work, there is great interest from the “other” realms and great support as well.

So orbs are “showing up” more frequently in photographs.

This isi enhanced by the increasing frequency of overall energy as the planet and the people move forward in growth.  Orbs could have expressed in many different ways.  However, since that first capture, it provided a “model” or “template” to break through the veil or the barrier between your physical world and the “other” or “higher” realm.

That veil or barrier is growing thinner each day, which is why more people are seeing and experiencing orbs.  This will continue to grow until it is not unusual to know and feel the support of non-physical entities. 

Many things are changing as the energy increases.  Ideas, beliefs, methods, practices, diseases and technology are all changing at a rapid pace. 

If you would like to personally experience the orbs in a physical way for yourself, simply set your intention and ask your guides to help the energy express for you in that way. 

Play with it and allow it to show up.  Or, ask it to show up in some other way if you are adventurous and want to play with what is possible.

We wish you love and fun and all good things.  Life is an adventure to be lived, so have fun!

Will there be a difference depending on which candidate wins the election for US President?

We are here with you tonight.

Your question is a good one as this is a very good “time” to ask such questions when people are making their  choices.

In one sense, the answer could be “No” for the long term.  Meaning that growth will occur regardless of who is the president. 

The answer could be “Yes” if you want to talk about how fast you grow or which ways you go while doing that growth. 

Your society is moving toward more mature ways of being and doing, and even Young Souls such as Mr. Romney have to behave and talk differently more than they did 30 years ago, for example.  

The difference comes in how they go about it.  Are they just talking about cooperation and still operating as the way it has been?

The media in your society plays a very powerful part in helping to expose the issues and communicate messages.  And, they can obfuscate the issues and create issues where there were none by spreading falsehoods and innuendo that is damaging to the truth.

You all know this – so we are “preaching to the choir.”

What you don’t know is the truth.  No one does and therein lies the dilemma.

How can you choose without facts and truth?

The answer to that — as Older Souls — you have to learn to trust your own sense of the truth that is covered by all the propaganda and spin from the candidates, their campaigns, the media, the social media, the “unofficial” media (everyone who has something to say) and to some extent the candidates themselves, who are trying to “present” themselves in the way they think will get them elected.

Mr. Obama likes being president for many reasons and he has been very frustrated by his inability to get done more things that he feels so passionate about.  He is not as effective as he would like to be and doesn’t know how to fix it.  His recent willingness to work closely with Bill Clinton was long overdue.  Mr. Clinton has an incredible social skill that far exceeds any recent living president.  His involvement could be the factor that turns the election in favor of Mr. Obama.

Of course, as Mature Souls, the Obama team and the Clintons care passionately about social issues and doing what they can to resolve them.  

Mr. Romney appeals to the Young Souls who see their power and influence slipping away and will do anything to keep that from happening. That is a strong force to contend with as you have seen in recent elections.

There is the possibility of a “tie” similar to what you had before since the Young Soul and Mature Soul groups are so close in numbers.

Your society could teeter and sway back and forth for many years this way.

Eventually, however, you must move strongly to the mature way because it has to happen.  

You would like a firm “yes” or “no” to go by, and we won’t give you one.  We can say that there will be parallels split off by the decision, so the answer is still “Yes” AND “No” because some parallels will move the Mature Soul way and some will go back to the Young Soul way.

Even if it “goes back” — it won’t be like it was.  There are too many Mature Souls to allow the Young Souls to “undo” everything.

So, you have some smoother way if the Mature Soul Obama continues, or you may see the Young Soul thwarted. 

Regardless, it gives you lots of excitement and the opportunity to seriously consider what YOU want for your future. 

We are here whenever you need or want us.

The Sphere of All Possibilities

Instead of listening, we did an exercise that Alexandra has been using called the Sphere of All Possibilities (http://tomkenyon.com/the-sphere-of-all-possibilities).

I connected with my future self and when I tried to go out into the future, I first went 5 years into the future, then kept pushing out until I was 92 years old.

As in the visualization described in the link, I connected with my future self as if we were having tea.  I noticed my future self was a bit more wrinkled, and was healthy, happy, productive and doing very well.  My future self was wearing something with soft material and purple.  When it was  time to shift to my future self’s consciousness, I got up and moved to the place where she was sitting, then looked back at my current self.

It was an interesting exercise :) 

 

As we were wrapping up, I started to get a message from my entity, then lost it as people started to talk.  It started out as a reminder that they are always there to help when we need them or want them.

How do we know that the message we receive are not our own imagination?

We are here tonight with you tonight.

And, what is imagination?  We don’t mean to challenge your question – only to remind you that everything is connected to everything else.

We are You and You are Us and We are all connected to You and to Us.

The lines of separation are imaginary lines – so to answer your question, it is hard to distinguish one from the other.

The messages you receive may com from your own personality, your essence, your entity, the Michael entity or a myriad of other sources that are available to you and to anyone else who asked.  

The quality of the message is for you to use to decide whether you want to put a label or a name on the source of the information.  Just as your “imagination” could be any of the many sources available to you. 

YOU are the one to decide how to label it (if you must) and whether it “feels” like one source or another.  

Everyone who is conscious has connections to multiple sources that are so closely connected that it is almost impossible to label them.  Most of your own messages come from your entity, which you could call your higher self — or from the Michael entity or from others that you know from past connections.  You already know this.

For others in your group, they also connect to their entity (which some of you share) or from the Michael entity or from others they have known. 

At any time, though, you may find reasons to connect with some other source for some particular purpose so the sources are not fixed and rigid.

For most of the group that are considered Michael students, you have many sources in common – your entity, your cadre, your energy ring, the Michael group, etc. 

Other groups and individuals have very different sources and connections and those become obvious when you see the varied opinions and ideas expressed by those groups.  [The current political conventions and their differences came to mind when this was coming in.]

The variety is built into the system of life on the Physical Plane and allows for growth and progress and lessons and learning. 

As Terri said, learning to “feel the energy” of your sources is Good Work and will help you to have and build your own confidence and discernment that you are receiving message from your own familiar sources and not something that could not be as good for you to listen to.  Examples might be spirits on the lower Astral Plane looking to create drama, those “stuck” after recent death (ghosts) and lost souls looking to inhabit a willing host.  You know the exercises to prevent that type of contact and you do it so automatically that you are not bothered by that type of contact.

Have we given you enough on the question?  We welcome you back to your circle after your recent travels.

~ Much love to all of you ~ Your entity and the Michael entity.
