Allowing for the Big Shift in Your life

There comes a time in everyone's life where the choice to go this way or that presents itself. Some of us decide by not deciding at all, but by allowing what is and what is to come to carry us along. Others recognize the time to change course by reason and logic.

Yet others see the way ahead, and when that time comes they sense and feel the very nature of their circumstance, then make the choice to stay, to go, to sit tight, or to resolve to stay the course, to keep going.

Many of us are in that zone right now. Some of us have most certainly connected with what I have come to call a "choice point," a point in time and space when a choice about one's life-path is challenged. But this is no ordinary challenge. The choice that presents itself represents the culmination of everything that we have been working toward, and now the choice will prove to be a pivotal directional pointer on the road of life. And in making that choice, everything, absolutely everything, will change.

Whatever your version of the choice that has already or is about to present itself to you, you are in that same zone as 6.6 billion others. The universal energy that is prompting you to make a choice at this particular moment, marks the cornerstone of the life you that have been building for the last five to seven years.

I can say this because we are all a part of a collective consciousness, and the collective is about to reach critical mass. Some call this the tipping point. Whatever the name, you can count on very big changes coming your way.

Why? Because inside any group, colony or village, there are many houses. Inside many lands there are many people. We are individuals having a human experience but in this experience we are always mirroring someone in one aspect of life or another. And the learning that comes from mirroring is the catalyst that pushes us to grow, to make different choices.

If you are like most, this mirroring of Self eventually causes tension between you and another because no two people are alike, which at some point calls you to grow by making a choice to open, to move, to change directions, etc. Like putting a new pointer on a different region on your map of life, making a new choice marks that next step in your grand adventure.

Choices send us signals about what we are learning.

In the lower vibrational form of recognizing a choice-point, the aspect of mirroring that prompts you to make a new choice is often described as strife, turmoil or division. But in the upper echelon, you are likely to experience mirroring as a challenge, growth or an opportunity to expand your horizons.

No matter how you might experience the prompting to change in the context of your personal world, I encourage you to do so with calm and peace. No matter what choice is presenting itself, making your choice in this vibrational river is the answer to everything.

And what about how others are bound
to react to your choice?
You know how you embrace or resist change in the context of your own life but what about others? What happens when your life and your choice point dramatically affects another? What then?

Humanity has names for this occurrence too, names like conflict, violence, disagreement or disarmament describe the more dramatic differences that are playing out in the world today. Even though humanity continues to play out group choice points in that way, it's quite possible to experience both the individual and the group choice points in more gentle ways such as awareness, enlightenment or exhilaration.

These descriptives of how your choice is bound to be experienced or expressed in reaction to your choice is about to be put to the test in a big way. I bring this to your attention because in our world, we are about to play out a plethora of choice points, first on the individual level from now until mid-September. What choice each of us make during this time will be acted out as a group choice point--first on a variety of group levels from mid-September through early to mid-November then on a global level shortly thereafter.

But first, we'll experience a sense of euphoria or lull from early December through mid-January, then a domino effect will trigger a tipping point, which will play out beginning in December.

If you can imagine the events and all the power packed emotion that went into the human creation cycles from 1926 - 1937, then add on top of that the events that played out from 1957 - 1962, you will begin to understand how important it is to hold to the center of peace, to hold to the higher echelons of allowing for love.

We will each experience our own version of the individual choice at some point during this time but whatever shift in consciousness occurs on or around Sept. 28, 2008 will be a direct tie-in and correlation to what will explode, expand, awaken within global consciousness on or around January 21, 2009.

We are being presented with an unbridled opportunity to shift the entire spectrum of human consciousness between now and then. Everyone counts. This is what we have all come into the body to do: Transcend human violence, hatred and division on all levels and layer of consciousness by choosing peace, joy, love in every facet of our lives.

There will be enough of us who will become confused and fall into the lower realms of chaos, but well enough of us who will hold to the higher. There are definitely two rivers of consciousness strongly in play now but some of us are still a bit shaky as to which river we wish to play in. This is where the beauty and harmony of this kind of "big shift" in consciousness comes into play.

A very small percentage of people can dramatically influence or even steer any group creation cycle toward a difference outcome by simply choosing joy as a path of service. Peace is always stronger than violence when intentionally created. Violence, as an unconscious behavior, will always find resolve in a sea of peace.

As we begin to move through the vibrational landscape that will at times challenge some us to our very core, I encourage you to make your choice for peace now, and not wait until turmoil threatens to overtake you.

How can you do this? By intending your life--your inner life--to be that peace now then to become vigilant about clearing whatever inner disturbance comes your way.

We have perfect reflections of those disturbances every day, which are just perfect for allowing more love, more joyousness into your life.

This kind of choice point brings into your awareness the path ahead because you can see so clearly the learning from the trail you have left behind. The choice now is to stay in the stillness of your heart so that you will not be pulled into the chaos. What will you choose? I choose transcendence.

TOOL FOR TRANSFORMATIVE LIVING: When your version of "choice point" presents itself, witness your emotions, then choose joy, peace and love. Celebrate your life.

I've been reminded of late that there is no use pushing the river or for that matter, standing back and watching life. For me, I am getting my sea legs around the dynamic of flow, the kind of flow that defines the river of consciousness that that guides me into the stillness.

Sometimes our own personal viewpoints are like oars that get put into the waters of life. We take action at just the right time to cause a shift (a shift in perspective, circumstances or life choices) and sometimes our actions cause us to step back and away from what might otherwise be a good thing.

The question that I have been asking lately is "How do you know when the mind (one's viewpoint) is what's steering the boat?"

There are as many opinions on this as there are potential answers but the bottom line is feeling. We know when we are allowing the mind to steer us off course because we can feel it. This feeling is different for each of us. There are many paths that will lead you to this same knowing, this same feeling, but it is the stillness of the mind that will determine your direction.

We are living in a time of radical change. I have been hearing these words in my head for as long as I can remember. But hearing and experiencing are two very different realities. Just recently, I viscerally connected with the knowing that everything the Guides have given to me over the years is true - absolutely true.

The lack of understanding or confusion came from my perspective at the time. They said that there are warring factions trying to take over and govern this sector of the galaxy, and that is true. They said that our world (our physical world) will go through a period of earth plane shifting, and that is certainly true.

They said that the two rivers of consciousness would go through a period of great divide but are destined to come back together as one. That has certainly happened - the separation of the two rivers, that is.

When I even begin thinking of putting my oar back into the water of the other (self-doubt, self-loathing, resentment, anger, etc.) I just can't go there. Something so strong pulls me right back into the stillness. I'm even getting to the point where yearning or longing from the perspective of my human nature just not working for me either.

The guides have also talked at length about the upheaval of social, political, economic and environmental aspects of our world. All that is now certainly upon us.

But they also said that it doesn't have to be so dramatic to our human energy systems. In our orientation to the physical world, we might even experience this kind of cathartic change as traumatic. But these two divergent experiences all depends on which of the two rivers your boat is flowing. No matter which river, we can change our future right now in our present moment.

But how? This has been the prevailing question that I have been asking the higher vibrational beings of light, and from all angles, for years.

They have not only given me the how but the what, when and where. However, just like each of us can imagine our future by looking around at our present and discern the signs of change all around us, there really is only one answer to this question of how: We are to go into the stillness. That is the foundation, the building blocks, and the right timing of when where and how we, each, are to put our oar into the water of life to affect vast global change.

This stillness that I speak of is not static, either. Nor does it place you squarely in the Non-doing State. Quite the contrary.

Within the stillness there is great movement, the kind of movement that moves mountains over rivers, as the Guides so often say.

The stillness is the mind. The stillness is your innate ability to listen to the heart above the static of the mind, to go deeper in to see what lies beneath the inner and the outer noise of your life. The stillness is what will guide you to realize your heart's desire. The stillness is your best friend, your mother and your father. You are to trust the stillness within you beyond measure because the stillness is you, the real you, Mr. or Miss/Ms. Being of Light having a human experience.

This next leg of our journey, here all together on this earthen plane, is bound to get pretty dicey in the coming months and years ahead.

I was reminded the other day that we are the generation that creates the bridge into the new paradigm of "all as one." And it will be our children and their children who will carry the work into the physical realities of their lives.

In saying this, our work is simply to put our oar in the water when our heart tells us to - not before and not unless. Can you imagine a simpler calling than that?



Dreaming Big
The energetic star gate has opened and with this opening is a most wondrous opportunity to shift global consciousness by connecting with our very own heart's desire. Will you come and play? These past few moths have not been easy, as we have been called to integrate the original star matrix into the human body.

Now is the time to dream. Pay close attention to what comes to you in the stillness of your very own heart. Dream it Big.

In meditation the other day, I heard the following: "Dream small and you'll get small. Dream it big and you'll get big."

For as many people as I have traveled into the higher dimensional realms with to help them to bypass the mind, I have always been amazed and in awe of who they truly are. Their truest nature is much bigger, freer; more expressive than anything they allow themselves to be in the physical. The perspective of the mind does that to us. What will you believe?

Let the stillness be your guide.

What a committed group of people can do to change the world

"We are here to tell you, my daughter, that the first and foremost gateway, star gateway, has now just been opened. You are aware of this opening because it occurred when you, the people of Washington, DC, were channeling their hearts into the center of the vortex of light. We were there with you, just on the other side of the veil aware of the opening between the two worlds. All is well."

By any measure of love, we should not be standing upright today. There are many forces of nature that are surprised that we broke through the matrix of light that held to the power dynamics of control and manipulation. But we did it. When hearts are opened wide to receive the very grace of God that we are already, modern-day miracles do occur.

What we discovered is the power that is invoked when a group of committed souls come together for love-for no other motive other than to serve as conduits for the greater good. "We are here with you now my dear ones. All is well."

When the first part of the that writing came through, I questioned the validity of the statement because it felt so personal, especially since I had just intended for highest good for all who will be reading this message. But then I stepped back from the feeling nature of what I had just written. I read it again. This time out loud. And it sunk in. Life is different now.

Everything feels very different than just a few short weeks ago. The world has been building up to a huge cliffhanger, a potential crash into chaos. It doesn't feel that way now. Suddenly that inner drive to push forward has disappeared. Now I know why. We did it. We poked just enough of a hole into the fixed matrix of control and manipulation that now light, light of all magnitude, is already pouring in to our earthen plane. How about that.

It wasn't just what we did in Vienna. The deep-level healing work that 12 remarkable women did in Chicago created the opening to occur in Washington, DC. And Chicago reaped the benefit of all those courageous souls who opened to unconditional love in Richmond.

And I am aware of others who, for some unforeseen reason, felt compelled to do the same in-groups of three or more on that very same weekend, Oct. 20/21. As we neared the time of the Activation in Vienna, what I kept hearing over and over from the Guides, was that it was time for us to clear the energy that was pushing the world toward a third world war, a holocaust.

This holocaust was headed toward playing out as total economic colapse, a financial crash of such magnitude that it would have taken us up to 25 years to work through. The Guides called this potential crash the third probable future, or lowest possible outcome from the energy patterns that have been in play since 1942. Now this scenario is being transformed. It's like the top of a mountain has been shaved off so that the approaching plane does not crash.

The kind of chaos that we will begin to move through from here on out will be, instead, a very different kind of chaos. So here we are, at the very beginning of building a new version of our collective probable future, and it feels so very right.

What will you choose?

TOOL FOR TRANSFORMATIVE LIVING: Now is the time to Dream big...really, really big. Whatever you can imagine is yours. Lovingly dream it into reality.

How to integrate the energy shifts from the Activation into your daily life.
Symptoms of Ascension

I have received a record number of emails asking questions about what happened, how to assimilate what is going on in the body, mind, emotions. What specifically happened during the activation?

Profound knowings were realized by many on myriad levels, and for some the mind has now kicked into gear.

In our home, Mark went straight into a deep level physical processing out. He experienced body aches, headaches, muscle tension, etc. I was flying high all week before crashing into an old emotional pattern, then worked through it to clear it from my body. Then back up the vibrational spiral I went, but not without the help of a trusty friend, and the benefit of tuning back in to Mark's music. Just a few minutes of listening, put me right back inside the channel. What joy!

Mark and I have been through these kinds of dramatic shifts many times before so we have developed a process that helps us move through it a little more gracefully than when we first started doing this work. But for those of you who are moving through this intense period, what do you do to honor the integration of the higher vibration as you are also getting on with your life?

For deep-level body aches, seek out a practioner of choice: Cranial sacral, polarity therapy or energy work for balancing; massage for muscle tension. For headaches, migraines, suspect an emotional block.

Emotional clearing: EFT, witness the emotions like a movie playing outside of you even as you are releasing it through statements of affirmation. Bless and release any heavy emotion as it is leaving your body. Some of these patterns have been with us for a very long time, so the leaving process sometimes feels like pullng skin from skin.

Here is the big one: Relationships suddenly become volatile! Why? Your light is stepped up and what was okay before is not alright now. This is simple work but not easy. Keep focused on the joy, and with compassion speak your truth. Allow your heart, not your head, to be your guide.

Cure-all: Get out in Mother Nature. Move the body, clear the head. Practice meditation, yoga, Qigong, walk, and lots of it to move the energy through the body. Take hot salt baths and drink lots of water.

Keep a positive attitude and give thanks for this time in your life. Above all expect miracles to happen. As the old energy moves out to make room for more who you truly are, know that you are moving up the spiral and new surprises await you.

As your vision opens up, accept what is without trying to push to understand with your mind. If you are feeling vulnerable or are holding onto hurt feelings, let them go.

Above all, encourage yourself during this time of integration that you are headed home to joy.

-Carol Fitzpatrick

MUSIC FOR HEALING

For those who have had the benefit of hearing Mark Torgeson's music, there is no explanation needed. But for those of you who have not had the privilege of hearing his remarkable contribution to the healing and transformation that takes place during the Activation events, you are in for a real treat.

I've had the opportunity to listen back to just a part of over seven hours of recorded music. Each time I do, I am transported back into a space where worry and concern simply cannot co-exist.

The Music, Mark has edited it down to the equivilent of a 2-CD set, he will release it as an MP3 download. Look for details of where to find it in a new announcement once I get the signal that it is all ready to go. But for starters, you can listen to a sample now at http:www.planetaryawakening.org

Oneness. "We are all one...one energetic lightwave frequency." I have heard these words spoken through me so many times, as the Guides weave the light this way or that, depending on who is in the room or looking back at me. I have always found this statement to feel quite alright within yet have never been able to fully grasp it until - well - this weekend.

This weekend I worked with a most remarkable group of women just outside Chicago proper. Who would have known? I have also heard people talk about the Divine Feminine but, frankly, in my understanding, I never fully grasped or related to the essence of the meaning of what they were saying.

This, too, all came together for me-through feeling-as we wove and interwove the light of God that we are into a pattern of sacred geometry. The *lacremetre, as I heard and read the words upon my arrival home last night, is the closest approximation of what holds the key to merging heaven and earth, and we did it. We co-created within the oneness, within the inner planes of existence and birthed the structure (of the inner planes) into form. Life, at least for me, will never be the same again. I am transformed by the oneness now seated fully in the body. All is well.

For those of you who have not yet experienced the Divine Feminine in its fullest form, I highly recommend it. The power and force is what is guiding us, bringing us home. The Guides have called the Divine Feminine Shakti or peace, and now I know it fully as oneness. This oneness that we are all returning to is fueled by unconditional love, which can only be realized by the merging of Truth with Compassion. Truth without compassion is incomplete, and compassion without truth sets us up for resentment and anger until we realize the truth of who we are. One without the other cannot be birthed as onenesss. But merge the two as we did this weekend, and the world, your world, our world together as a collective consciousness, will never be the same again.

The Guides describe the birthing of oneness consciousness this way: Peace beyond measure; all is well.

That's another phrase that I now more fully understand: all is well. Yes. By knowing without a doubt that there is a divine flow, all is well.

If you suddenly take a wrong turn on a busy highway with a plane to catch, all is well. If your loved one dies or your child catches a cold, all is well. If your dreams are thwarted by fate, all is well. All is well when we are happy and when we are not.

When we die, it's often because we have given up so much of our life force to battling the elements of the flow. But if we truly know that all is well, then we are at peace with all of our creations that we have labeled good, bad or indifferent along the way. Once we are at peace with how our lives are flowing, the choice to change, to choose differently becomes a breeze.

Surreality sets in because we ascend to a lighter vibrational level. Like cream rising to the top of freshly drawn milk, we float or rise above the mind. The confusion or chaos, what was within us that has manifested outside of us is no longer holding us down. And we let it go. Let anything that feels heavy go. Some might call this way of seeing disassociation from reality. But I see it, now, as settling into the flow of a soul having a human experience. We don't have to struggle. Absent the struggle does not mean that there is a lack of movement. Quite the opposite. Within the stillness - peace - there emerges freedom, and within freedom is boundless movement.

Back to this weekend, I watched with my energetic sight how this is done in the physical, and it was quite mesmerizing. Freedom is exhilarating once we realize who we are.

As you read these words, I encourage you to step away from the mind, and to feel your way into the oneness of beingness that you are. Imagine yourself within the feeling of peace as you flow into your joy. Now you are free to dance, to move, to create however you wish. Once you have totally melded into the feeling of peace, and are trusting yourself, then whatever you choose is right because you feel the exhileration of being one within the flow. Now that, that feeling right there, is pure joy!

In our next Community Activation, I have absolutely no doubt that the feeling of flow through oneness, freedom and peace is bound to be more deeply and profoundly explored. What I have also discovered is that, with each Activation, the energetic shifts from one group to another is exponential. From Richmond to Chicago, and next from Chicago to Washington, DC. Whew! Are you ready? Will you come play!!?

All is well.

Energy Shifts for Opening the Heart

A Tele-session Participant writes:
Thank you for a most interesting tele-conference call. I want to share with you something that happened to me when you started going through the questions.

[When] you got to the questions, I felt a tremendous surge of energy that began in my left ear and ended in my heart region. The energy surged down the left side of my neck and ended up in my left breast where it then shot from my body. It reached a height of 12 inches (I checked with a ruler) and it lasted about 15-20 minutes. During this time it was as if the phone was glued to my body and I was not to move although I did manage to move my right arm and hand, which is what I used to see where the energy was radiating from my body. When I say the energy was intense, that may be an understatement as it was bordering on hot.

Last night I could feel "something" in my left neck and shoulder and checked in the bathroom mirror after I hung up from the call to see if I had gotten burned. Again, there was no sign of a burn although the energy of "something" didn't dissipate for another hour. When I woke up this morning, I could feel my left neck region more so than the rest of my body...Evidently, the guides were jump starting my heart for some reason.

I would be curious to know if anyone else on the calls have reported anything like this happening to them. You are definitely channeling more than guidance in these tele-conference calls! Donna's email: Glimermere@aol.com

Preparing for the Chaos

Many of us have come through the eye of the needle these past few months in preparation for the work ahead. Our hearts are open and full of joy as we have learned (the hard way or the easy way) that the world, our world, is shifting changing, transforming before our very eyes.

For those who have put their focus to letting go of the heaviness of heart and taken concrete steps to making our dreams come true, those dreams have already taken form. For those who have stepped back and away out of fear, take heart, your way will challenge your sanity at times, but there is still hope.

Over the next few months, the world is preparing to move through a 14-18 month period, (starting late-November 2007), through a kind of cathartic clearing. What is out of balance will be challenged and pushed aside. What is in balance will remain so. The world is destined to go through a deep time critically viewing at what is important in life, and what is broken. What is broken will be challenged on every front.

This upcoming time of re-balancing is not for the weak at heart. As much as we will witness modern day miracles occur, we are also bound to experience profound tragedy. By the fall of 2008, we will realize that the way things were, will not ever be the same again.

Bygones.

This era will be known as the downfall of capitalism as we have come to experience it.

In our lives, we are to shore-up what brings us joy and know that anything that feels like a heavy weight around our necks will only amplify-out to the point of becoming unbearable by late Fall. Let it go. Let it all go.

We will find that by early 2010, what we are holding onto now, will feel totally insignificant and unnecessary.

We are preparing for walking away from our lives in 2010 by letting go of the heaviness now.

In short, our future history, in many regards has already been determined as a race of nations, but it will be the power of the individual to transcend the upcoming chaos.

Know that as you release hatred and malice that you are not only doing the world a favor, but yourself also.

To answer this question: Are you holding onto hared and malice? Ask yourself the following questions:
Have I told someone that I love him or her within the last 24, 48, 72, 144 hours?
Have I remembered how much I appreciate myself for having spoken my truth?
Have I looked myself in the mirror of late with joy and gladness of heart?

If the answer is no to any of these three questions, then consider this: Life is like a flower. As we open to receive warmth from the sun and drink from the rain, we are nourished.

Allow your heart to open in all manners of being and know that you are loved.

All is well.

TOOL FOR TRANSFORMATIVE LIVING: I let go of fear as I am trusting my heart's desire to be free.
