We had a rather unusual earthquake here in the wee hours of June 10, 2016.  This is a mainstream report about it.

https://youtu.be/K6OGd9F-Sgc

I felt this earthquake from where I’m at, south of Los Angeles and about 150 miles from the epicenter.  I was sitting at my desk writing a paper when the house began to creak just a bit, and I felt a very minimal rolling motion.

Apparently, this was not the average quake.  Dahboo77 noticed a rather peculiar pattern of the tremors on a quake map.

David Wilcock speculated about what the earthquake REALLY was toward the end of his most recent post.

And, if that isn’t already weird enough, there’s this, which YouTube mysteriously suggested to me:

It has me wondering if there’s a connection between the site of those earthquakes and the Mandela Effect stuff we’ve been experiencing.  The earthquakes occurred AFTER I noticed the Bible changes, but a connection is still possible.

Meanwhile, the changes noticed and being attributed to that most recent Mandela Effect timeline shift are mounting up.  In addition to the Bible changes, people have been noticing differences in logos and brand names, the photos and videos of the JFK assassination, the geography of the planet, and even in family members.  Some people lost family members, as in those people never existed in this timeline.  Others gained family members.  Just search “Mandela Effect” on YouTube, and you’ll find plenty of these stories.  So that last timeline jump was very significant.

lovebirdIt’s been many years ago now, before 2000, but once upon a time, I kept lovebirds.  It began with one, and then I decided that it needed a buddy.  It turned out that the two were male and female, and they became a mated pair.
Soon, from them, I had another mated pair.  I kept all four in a large cage, and they all got along fine.

Then one day, the older female passed away.  That left her mate with the other pair.  It did not take long before the pair became aggressive against the lone male.  It became clear that he would have to be removed from the large cage.  I had a smaller cage that I used to transport the birds, in the rare instance that became necessary.  It really was rather small to live in, and I knew the lone male would need a bigger cage.

One morning, I woke up feeling inspired to get the cage that day.  It was as if I was impelled by Spirit to do so.  With an unusual sense of confidence and purpose, I walked up to lone male’s cage and announced to him that I would be buying a cage that day.  I described to him the size of the cage and how much I would pay for it.  There was a very definite energy of certainty about the way I did so.

I went to a few different stores in town.  The price of the cages in the first two stores was more than I intended to pay.  In the third store, I browsed around.  I looked at the cages in the main display area, but they were not quite what I wanted.

Then I looked up into the top stock and noticed a cage way up above the shelving.  I asked the storekeeper how much it was.  He was actually surprised to see it there.  It had no price on it.  He thought for a moment, and then offered it at the price I had declared that morning.  As I looked at the cage, I saw that it matched the description I had announced to the bird that morning.  Then I saw that it was missing a perch!  I quickly realized that I had neglected to include the perch as I described the cage that morning.  Oops!  The shopkeeper found a perch for a small additional price, and I bought the cage.

So why do I tell this story?  It is an example of manifesting.  It is important for me to emphasize that I was feeling an unusual surety that day.  It was not simply thinking that I should get a cage.  I had been doing that already for a couple of weeks.  But this day, I felt impelled by Spirit.  It’s as if something clicked into place like a switch in some gear-driven mechanical device.

Something weird and wacky has happened and may still be happening.  It’s all something that I am struggling to explain to myself.  I’m not sure what it means yet, but people’s Bibles have changed.  The words have changed.  The Bibles don’t have the exact words in them that were in those very same physical books that we have owned for decades.  This includes my own Bible that I have owned since 1970.  The Lord’s Prayer is different.  (Matthew 6:9-13)  The lamb is lying down with a different animal.  (Isaiah 11:6 and again in Isaiah 65:25)  I am a seminary graduate, and I went to church just about every Sunday growing up.  I studied these words rather closely and many times.  How is it possible that my own books on my own shelves have changed?

Perhaps all of this is a fulfillment of Isaiah 65:17, where it says, and I had marked it: “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.”  This would suggest that if we wish to examine a particular anomaly, it is necessary to do so immediately because eventually any memory of it will fade and disappear.  At the time the videos below were made, all known copies of King James Bibles have the “new” wording.  Evidence of the alternate wordings was still being found in some concordances and other documents that referred to the King James Bible; but in time, that may no longer be true.

These videos were the first places I learned of this shift.  I don’t necessarily agree with these people on other points or the causes of the phenomenon.  You can check them out if you wish to, but the tone of them is not where I want to go with them.

So what animal did the lamb lie down with in the other timeline?  It was a lion.  As for the Lord’s Prayer, the verse about debts was previously about trespasses.

I received an email that throws an interesting spin on the matter.  Someone had asked Yahoo! Answers when the Lord’s Prayer had changed.  According to one answer, the wording had changed from debts to trespasses back in the 1960s.  The person answering the question recalled having memorized the prayer already and then being told that they had to change what they had memorized.  The reason for the change was because the IRS had requested it.  This was because they no longer wanted debtors to be allowed to be forgiven.  If this is the case, then the recent change from trespasses to debts would be a correction of that anomaly.  And, of course, we must consider this theory to be exactly that.  This is not an explanation but rather a theory that needs further investigation.  It still boggles my mind that this could have propagated to all extant Bibles already in the personal possession of the population.

Apparently, there has been some controversy before over whether it was a lion or a wolf, as cited in this article.

So how might this have happened, you might ask?  I’ve seen it said multiple times that if one can imagine something, there’s a reality where it actually occurs.  It might be helpful to look at Science Fiction for some answers.  The show Sliders aired from 1995 to 2000.  It portrayed a group of adventurers experimenting with a device that allowed them to explore the multiverse.  Some episodes portrayed a parallel universe resulting from a change in outcome of events.  The plots explored how reality might be different, given those new outcomes.  Now, if we can imagine that there actually are sliders operating in this universe, then it would not be so far-fetched that one of them could go back in time and prevent the Vatican from acting on the request of the IRS, thereby avoiding the change in Bibles that so many of us became familiar with.  A few people might remember that the Bible was different, but many would not be aware at all.

I had a discussion with someone about how this might work.  It was thought that it was necessary to enter into someone whose life one had lived before.  In other words, the process requires the reentering and reliving, in whole or in part, complete with all of the pains and passions, one of one’s own past lives.  Another fictional work describes how this might occur.  The third book in the quintet by Madeleine L’Engle, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, hints at a meditative type method that could allow one to go back in time and have some kind of influence on the outcome of a situation.  For the most part, to minimize extraneous impacts, the one entering into the past life as a slider would simply observe that life until the critical moment arrived to make the required change.

There are a few nonfiction books I know that document experiences with the multiverse.  The first I would like to tell you about is Traveling To Parallel Universes by Trish LaSage.  This book is full of anecdotal stories, including her own, of people’s experiences with timeline jumps.  One case was so extreme that the person discovered she had a different job and a different mate.  For another person, timeline jumps occurred with such extreme frequency that the person could not be sure of their history from one day to the next.  Usually, the new timeline becomes the new normal.  Having myself discovered on at least one occasion that my own history was not what I thought, I now have a more compassionate view when my memory of events differs from someone else’s.  It is actually possible that we are both right.

Another book, Quantum Jumps: An Extraordinary Science of Happiness and Prosperity by Cynthia Sue Larson, explains a theory of how we might change timelines.  Simply put, we decide for something else.

But to get the best idea of what timelines could possibly be, I recommend Conversations with Nostradamus by Dolores Cannon.  In this book, Nostradamus himself describes to Dolores Cannon via conversation through past life regression how he saw timelines when he scryed them with a magic mirror that had been given to him.  He told how his attention would be drawn to tangles in the timelines to see what might cause them.  He also unravels the mysteries of what those cryptic quatrains of his actually mean.  It is worth noting that when clients undergo past life regressions utilizing Dolores Cannon’s techniques, healing often occurs, possibly in both the current life and in the past life.

In the last week, I found a book that lays out rather well another way one might influence at least one’s future timeline: Dissolve The Problem: by Shifting Physical Reality by Richard Dotts.  This book lays out a three-step process:  acknowledgement of the way things are now, imagining an alternate reality in which the desired thing is true, and staying in the imagination of that reality as long as possible.  The process appears to be Law of Attraction on steroids.

On another interesting note, I felt it necessary to re-read the book by Madeleine L’Engle, A Wrinkle in Time last week.  Now I see why!  The concept of the method is somewhat similar to what was seen in the movie Inception.  I am doing some looking around to see if there might be a connection between timeline jumping and past life regression, but I have not found a clear link yet.

I have another theory about the Bible changes.  This came while listening to an interview by Tom Evans, Talking Temporally with Anne Jirsch.  It starts to get very interesting around minute 40.  The Bible changes could be a signalling device from our descendants in the future.  They want to get our attention because they need us to make changes.  You can find out more about Anne Jirsch here.  She has posted some processes for connecting with our future selves here.

It seems that more and more people are noticing these timeline jumps, as mentioned in the article by Zen Gardener, Boldly Engaging the Ongoing Adventure.  The linked articles within this article are worth reading as well.  I like his take on the phenomenon.  He reminds us that at least some of us asked for this experience when we asked to go into higher dimensions.  He invites us to consider it an adventure to live in the new paradigm of multidimensionality.

Hurricane FloydI held this story back for a long time because I did not want it to seem that I was bragging. But now, it seems to me that stories like this are needed. Big changes are needed on this planet right now, and this is a story of doing something big.

I had the experience in 1999 of working with a hurricane in a meditative shamanic way.  While I may have been doing what I was doing all by myself, I was not the only person working on this storm. I do not make any claim to be sole cause of any effects.

It was Hurricane Floyd, and it was heading for Miami at the time this story begins. Not only was the storm packing winds of near Category 5 force, but it was also a tremendously huge storm packing lots of rain.

As this story begins, I was chatting on the computer at the time with someone in Miami. He was telling about how the hurricane was closing in on them there. There was great concern due to the size and strength of this storm. I pulled up the tracking and prediction information for Hurricane Floyd and realized just how dire the situation was. Florida is little more than an oversized sand bar. Most of the state is flat and barely above sea level. Between the high winds, the torrential rain, and the storm-driven waves of the ocean, the potential destruction facing Florida that night was catastrophic.

I had learned in childhood the story of Jesus calming the storm and the sea. (Mark 4:35-41)  I also knew that Jesus had told us that we would be able to do what he had done and even greater.  (John 14:12)  By this time in 1999, I was also taking classes at the Learning Light Foundation and studying A Course In Miracles.  I decided to see what could be done about Hurricane Floyd.

I thought about how I could work on the storm. My faith was not such that I could believe that I could suddenly stop a storm in its tracks.  I figured that it would be best and most believable to me to work with the natural laws.  As I thought about it, it seemed that the most natural thing would be for the storm to slow and turn. That was the strategy that I decided to pursue in my work on the storm.

I went into meditation and called upon the angels to help me with this project.  I looked at the weather maps and imagined a shift in the jet stream that might push Hurricane Floyd away from the coast. I visualized the slowing of the spin of the storm, and I commanded the angels to slow the hurricane and turn it north.  I imagined and visualized in my mind a new path for the hurricane that would keep it from making landfall at its full force. I spent quite some time at this task.  I recall still being there working on the storm by the time that the eye of the hurricane was as far north as Cape Canaveral.

Try as I might, I could not imagine a path in which the hurricane entirely missed the coast, but I was able to imagine a path that would have Hurricane Floyd making landfall well up the coast at a much reduced strength.  This is exactly as it came to be. Hurricane Floyd made landfall in North Carolina as a Category 2 storm, exactly where I visualized that it would. Hurricane Floyd was still a very destructive storm there, but the destruction was much less than it might have been in Florida.

I checked in with other light workers I knew to see if anyone else had been working with the hurricane.  It turned out that I was able to find a few others who had done so.  I told them about my experience of visualizing the path of the hurricane.  They told me that they had been using similar methods with the hurricane and had pretty much the same experience with it as well.  They could not get the hurricane to entirely avoid hitting land, either.  The place where we all imagined it hitting land was where it actually did so.

d73f9907e3fdc84cdf96bfe791463bc76083b46b_mI have an odd little story that goes way back to the early 1980s.  It is yet another one of those mundane little stories in which something out of the ordinary occurs which to this day defies explanation.

Back then, I had a Volvo 1800E.  It was a rather unusual sports coupe, especially in Utah Valley where I was living at the time.  The area was dominated by a steel factory, and so the local residents had a strong preference for American cars.

Somehow, the tail light lens got broken.  In a futile attempt to save money on a replacement, I decided to look for a replacement at the local junk yards.  I sort of knew this would be a long shot, given the relatively low population of the valley and the rarity of the car, but I decided to give it a try anyway.

I had just come out from the office of one of the junk yards.  I had opened the car door and was tossing the broken tail light lens onto the floor of the back seat when I experience some kind of “blip” in consciousness, and then the broken tail light lens was gone.  I looked throughout the car, under it, and I even went back into the junk yard office to ask if I might have left the tail light lens there.  The tail light lens was nowhere to be found.  As I backed out of my parking space, I also looked where I had been to see if I might have missed it when looking under the car.  That tail light lens was never seen again.  That event has ever since then been a source of wonder for me.

Some years later, I attended classes at the Learning Light Foundation.  This facility was also the site for a MUFON group.  Consequently, several of the other students I attended class with also attended the MUFON meetings.  Through them and other reading material, I learned some of the hallmarks of an alien experience, one of which is the type of blip in consciousness that I had experienced that day in Utah while visiting junk yards.

A couple of years ago, I did a past life regression session with someone who had been trained by Dolores Cannon.  In her methodology, after the past lives have been explored, the subconscious [more properly the “superconscious”] is called in.  The hypnotist then asks questions that have been prepared by the client.  I asked about the incident with the tail light lens.

It was confirmed that it was an ET-related event, but I was not allowed to learn any of the details of it.  Apparently, during the course of that event, the tail light lens was misplaced and did not make it back with me to the point of origin of the event.  An apology was given in the session for the missing tail light lens.

Something like this defies proof.  I will never know for sure exactly what happened to the tail light lens—or to me, for that matter—at least not during this lifetime.  For now, information gathered in the regression session will have to suffice as an explanation.

gare-raincy-sans-arretWhen talking about manifesting realities, there’s a story I like to tell that I call “Sans Arrêt.”  It is a true story about a seemingly mundane experience that none the less has Twilight Zone qualities.

My husband and I were traveling in France.  We were taking the TGV from Paris to Rennes so that we could go to Mont St. Michel.  On the departure board, the line for our booking said,

“Paris – Sans Arrêt – Rennes.”

My husband, who knows some French, too, pointed this out and said, “Oh, look!  We’re going to stop in Sans Arrêt!”  I knew that he knew that “sans arrêt” means “non-stop.”

I was already aware of the concept of manifesting.  I turned to him and said, “Don’t say that!  We might actually stop in Sans Arrêt!”  I gave him a brief lecture in being careful with one’s words.

We boarded the train, and wouldn’t you know it, in the middle of the trip, the train stopped out in the middle of nowhere in some field with no station or platform anywhere in sight.  I was thinking, “There is no station here.  This is not a stop.  This really is stopping at Sans Arrêt, if ever such a thing could happen.”

As for why we stopped, it turned out that there had been a fire alongside the tracks, and the train had to stop until it could be put out.

I mention this story to emphasize the need to be scrupulous with one’s word.  In this society, we have a tendency to say careless things that, if they actually came true, would very much NOT be things we would want to happen.  The most extreme of these occur when someone exclaims in frustration that they could kill someone or that something is killing them.  Do they really mean that?  Absolutely not, and yet there it is in their words.

As the vibration of the planet continues to increase, the speed and accuracy of manifestation is also increasing.  For that reason, it is imperative that we not speak or think carelessly.  This includes the way we joke with each other.

“There are no idle thoughts. All thinking produces form at some level.”
A Course in Miracles, T-2.VI.9.

I had an experience a little over a week ago in which I felt that I was being coerced into a situation I did not want.  The person involved claimed that it was a misunderstanding, but this is more about my reaction to the situation than what actually happened.  As the experience progressed, I felt a change in my energy field.

I struggle sometimes to describe sensations that so many people are not yet aware of in themselves and not attuned to feeling.  A sense of energy is not well developed or even recognized in so many members of humanity at this time.  But I think I have come up with a way to describe it or at least how it was affecting me in that experience.

The way I was feeling that day with respect to energy goes back to what I was taught many years ago about the nature of the aura.  The energy of the aura of a person in their authenticity is smooth and even.  It is like the smooth water of a pond at rest.  When a person lies or is otherwise out of their authenticity, the appearance of the aura becomes rippled or shimmering, kind of like the rippled surface of a pond into which stones are being thrown.  It is the result of a type of dissonance.  That is exactly what I felt that day.  It was dissonance.  I could feel the ripple in my energy field, and it was not pleasant.  It was something akin to a mild full-body joy buzzer.

Several days later, after my anger over the event had calmed down, I was listening to a YouTube video of Peter Slattery interviewing Alfred Lambremont Webre.  Among other things, they discussed the topic of parallel universes, AKA the multiverse.  If you recall, I wrote about my understanding of how that might work in my post, Reality Is Like Television.  I wondered then if perhaps that energy reaction that I had might have been the movement from one parallel universe to another.  I began casting about for an answer to that question.

Then I remembered a book that I had received earlier in the week, Traveling to Parallel Universes by Trish LeSage.  In it, she claims to have shifted from one parallel universe to another over 100 times.  She discusses incidents such as I described in my Timestream Jumping post in the section entitled “Non-existent Records.”  The sensations that I described above are consistent with her description of moving to a parallel universe of lower vibration.

She also verified that parallel universes can overlap at times.  When that happens, objects or beings from the “nearby” universe may appear less solid.  In extreme cases, objects from the two universes may pass through each other.  I believe that I may have witnessed loss of solidity in the past as well.  I attended a class once in which the instructor went into channeling mode.  While she was channeling, she appeared to become transparent.  After the channeling was complete, I asked another student if she had seen that as well, and she had.  I’m so glad to have witnesses to some of this stuff because if I didn’t, I’d swear I was losing my mind!

I must say, it boggles my mind that someone could have shifted realities that many times.  I recall how discombobulating it felt when I became aware of the incident that I reported in the Timestream Jumping post.  Think about it:  If you were to shift from one universe to another, you cannot know for sure any of the history of the universe into which you had just arrived.  Some objects may be different.  Buildings and businesses may be different.  At the very least, there would be little point in arguing with someone about what did or did not happen.  You might very well both be right!  Similarly, attachments to persons or objects might be pointless since you wouldn’t know if you will soon shift into a reality in which the relationship is different or doesn’t exist at all.  When arriving in a new universe, there would be little choice than to just go with it.  Fortunately, there tends to be considerable continuity from one universe to the next when a shift is made, according to Trish.

Some time ago, I watched the video, We Are From the Future posted by Garret John.  He described a concept in which plants harvest light with near perfect efficiency even though this is impossible in classical physics.  The solution is so beautifully described in the video that any description I might give would pale in comparison.

I find it interesting that some of the reality shifts described in Trish’s book are essentially escapes from tragedy of one kind or another, much as when a photon collides as described in the video.  For instance, Trish described how she believed that her house may have burnt down with her in it within a nearby parallel universe.  At the very least, her experience presents an aspect of awakening that is seldom considered.

It is clear that I have found my way into the deep end; but if I am going to swim, if I am going to achieve my greatest potential, at some point I must let go of the side of the pool even if that means letting go of everything and everyone I have ever known.  I need to just go with it.

I’m reading two fascinating books right now: Beyond Past Lives: What Parallel Realities Can Teach Us about Relationships, Healing, and Transformation by Mira Kelley and Wishes Fulfilled: Mastering the Art of Manifesting by Wayne Dyer.

Mira Kelley wrote extensively of the nature of reality as revealed by past life regressions.  To begin with, according to the higher selves consulted, all lives are actually taking place at once.  Lives have a multiplicity of versions that exist in parallel realities.  Everything in reality reflects you.  Everything is one.  Everything “out there” is actually “in here.”  Essentially what Mira Kelley is saying is that reality is a hologram.  When a hologram is cut in half, the whole scene can still be seen in each piece.  A piece of the whole contains the whole.  A piece of the whole is the whole.

Meanwhile, Wayne Dyer quotes in his book one of my favorite verses:  “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”’?” (John 10:34).  And also:  “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God.” (Philippians 2:5–6).

These concepts work well together when one considers that everything we perceive is actually a dream.  Consider your own nightly dreams.  No doubt, the you that you recognize is the main actor in these dreams.  The you that you recognize is the thinker and the decider in the dream.  What about the other objects and characters in your dreams?  What are they?  Do they not also originate in your mind?  As such, any of these objects and characters is capable of also being fully informed by your mind.  Any of them has access to any information that you have.  All of them are contained in you.

Now, consider that you and everything around you is a dream in God’s mind.  If God’s dreams are like ours, then everything we see has access to all of God, including ourselves.  We are part of God.  God is us.  This is how Jesus could consider himself to be equal to God, as in the verse above.  Furthermore, in that verse, Paul implores us to do likewise.  If we are in God’s dream, then it is not hubris to do so.  But then of course, we must remember that everyone and everything else in the dream is God also.  Namaste!

Now if you really want a head game, consider:  What happens to the you in your dream and everything else when you wake up?  What will happen when God wakes up?

I spent part of my day watching TED videos.  First up was Ruth Chang: How to make hard choices.

[ted id=2023]

This talk was about recognizing that there are deeper factors in the choices we make that relate to what we value as human beings.

Drifters allow the world to write the story of their lives. They let mechanisms of reward and punishment, pats on the head, fear, the easiness of an option to determine what they do. So the lesson of hard choices: reflect on what you can put your agency behind, on what you can be for; and through hard choices, become that person. –Ruth Chang

There were times in my life when I let convention dictate my choices in my life rather than conviction, or what I felt deepest in my heart.  There were times when I knew that by choosing to do the “right” thing, I was choosing against love.  That has resulted in a life of secret longing.  I have made an opportunity to rectify that longing, but I am faced again with the choice between convention and conviction.

Convention says that I should stay where I am because here, I am prosperous.  Here, I have some surety of my support.  Here, I will know with greater assurance where my next meal will come from.  Here, my physical needs will be met.  But I am also concerned that if I stay here, my passion of spirit will suffer.  If I stay where I am, I will more likely be a Drifter, as Ruth Chang would call it.  My sense of spirit and passion would be restricted.

Conviction says that I should take the leap and go out because I am better supported emotionally and spiritually elsewhere.  A relationship that I have found emotionally supportive has been offered to me again.  In this relationship, I feel my passion expand, and not just in the physical sense.  I feel in this relationship that my sense of my own abilities is expanded.  With an expanded sense of my own abilities, then certainly I would be in a better position to prosper while doing something I love and something that I feel is important.

The other video I watched today (that is important to this post, at least) was How to quit your life (and reboot): Priya Parker at TEDxUHasselt.

This talk offers determining what values are important to you as well as a tip or two in how to make the leap into a life that better fulfills those values. Priya Parker challenges the listener to ask,

What is the biggest need in the world that I might have the passion and capacity to address? –Priya Parker

Priya Parker offers some tools for determining what you value.

If you were to write an obituary of your life, would the result satisfy you? Would you feel that your life had meaning?

Ask your family and friends when they had seen you most alive and most passionate.  What were you doing?  Draw a comic strip about that time.

Get comfortable with discomfort.  Do things like sing while standing in line while shopping, taking yourself out to dinner with no reading material and without your phone, and facing the back of the elevator instead of the door.

Give yourself a “life sentence.”  A business might call this a “mission statement.”  What qualities do you want to express?  What do you do?  Why do you do it?

Do the Dwindling Cash Experiment to explore how you might live at various levels of income.  Determine how you are spending now.  Determine how you might live at various percentages of that income.  Use this information to decide how much income you will need.

Help someone else.  Identify five friends who do interesting work and offer them an hour to help them solve their stickiest problems.  Ideally, what they do should be something other than what you do.

Set a withdrawal date and send out evites.  Inviting others to share in your withdrawal and reboot creates accountability.

Don’t avoid thinking about meaning just because it scares you.  Changes in the Universe are very hard to make, but they’re even harder to make if you don’t spend time thinking about what most matters to you.  …  Changes in the Universe basically need time, and need space, and need risk.  So what I would urge you to do is to think about what matters to you, think about what makes you come alive, and think about what is actually happening in the world.  And then think critically and deeply about how you want to dive in.  Otherwise, you might be cheating the future on all you have to give.  –Priya Parker

A certain complication has developed in my urge to withdraw from my current life.  I think perhaps it was introduced by the gods as an inducement to move out of my comfort zone into my true purpose.  My communications with the gods have revealed that so long as I stayed true to that purpose, the indulgence of that distraction would be supported and protected.  Jesus and Pele have both expressed a sort of preference in favor of the distraction as opposed to where I am now.  It is also possible that the path of my true purpose may ultimately include neither influence.

With respect to the communications with the gods mentioned, I often ask myself if I am just making things up when I am meditating or journeying.  In Shamanism, we are taught that imagination has reality.  Channelers such as Steve Rother will also say that these processes will always feel like we are just making things up.  In other words, the feeling that I am making things up may not make it less real.

The main thing that has become clear is that I have felt stifled where I am.  Ultimately, I guess I have to ask my heart what it wants.  Ultimately, conviction will have to win out over convention.

This item was posted today: Gaia Portal – Prescience of mind is paramount as Gaia enters rapid ascension phase.

The first thing I needed to know to understand this was the definition of “prescience.”  It is “the fact of knowing something before it takes place; foreknowledge.”  Well, I know what I have been told about things.  I am deeply concerned that those who have told them to me are who they say they are.  These things that were said are controversial, and they will almost entirely change my world, if I act on them.  If they were genuine, then there is no question that action must be taken on those things.  Discernment can be difficult when dealing with beings from other dimensions.  Even the most highly advanced among us have been deceived at times.

Another part of the message that caught my attention is “Severance of expired paradigm structures proceeds.”  The grand question here is which is the expired paradigm.

There is something that I need to release.  I prayed about it in the ashrams this past weekend.  There is someone I have been holding anger toward.  This person does not even know me or that they have done anything to hurt me, and yet they managed to claim for themself something very dear to me in such a way that I could not even protest it, such was the finality of what was done.  It was someone else’s carelessness that created the problem, and yet that someone else can seemingly do no wrong in my eyes.  As I discovered the depth of the anger in me about this situation, I realized that I had better find a way to release it lest that anger go out and harm this other person.  Anyone who wants to tell me at this point that anger only harms the one who is angry most likely has no understanding of thought-forms and other ways a person can extend their energy.  But it is my desire to be harmless, and so this anger needed to be transmuted.  I can’t help but wonder if to do so, I will have to surrender that situation entirely.  I would like to think that there is a solution that will not require it, but I also don’t like a certain ghoulishness that this situation seems to create in me.  This most definitely needs to be healed before I can move forward in that situation again.  I will say that I feel better about the situation now than before I presented it in prayer over the weekend.  All of these considerations leave me wondering which are the expired paradigm structures.  What is it, exactly, that needs to be left behind?

One thing that I will say here, lest anyone become confused.  We are a few days into a Mercury retrograde.  Things decided now may yet change.  Decisions and agreements made during a Mercury retrograde are not necessarily permanent.  This is a time when we may encounter setbacks in our progress toward the goals we may have set when Mercury was direct.  We can only wait and see what happens when Mercury goes direct again around July 1.  As I said in the beginning of this post, I know what I was told about what is to happen.  A key person was informed of this information yesterday.  I look at these next few weeks as this person’s opportunity to catch up to what I have already come to accept.
