Once again this day we greet you with news of great change.  Many of you are wondering what is happening.  Please maintain your centers and we will explain.

You have been told of the nine days of vastly increased energies, and you know of the alignment of the planets which has occurred.  Now it may seem at first as if everything is falling apart for you.  Actually what is happening is that the things which still need to be cleared for you are surfacing from their hidden corners of your beings.  We have told you of the possibility of this, as well.  Do not become involved with these things.  Hold your centers and observe, yes.  And then release them from your attention and allow them to go on their way.  Send them back to Creator.  You have no need of them any longer.  Replace them with all of the unconditional love you can breathe into yourselves.

This is the beginning of a huge step forward for you.  Allow the new self which you have carefully crafted to handle it and you will step past it quite well.  We see many of you doing just so, and are once again smiling as we see your surprise with yourselves.

" It should not be surprising to understand that Atlanteans occupied certain areas of Texas, for its lands were along the land bridge that connected Poseida to the Yucatan. Sea levels were much lower then you see. We tell you that there was a pyramidal complex located very near Enchanted Rock that was used ceremonially for the calibration of Crystal Skulls in alignment to the energy of the granite dome cathedral. The Pyramid was aligned between the energetic ley of Yucatan and of the Pyramidal complex near Galveston island, triangulated with the two. Within that area then termed the Hill Country of Texas is a very special energy. One that will be awakened into the Feminine Balance, brought in by the Divine Hathor. This then in that termed the Hathorian Eclipse, in November of 2012. It is indeed the most important date remaining before that of the 12-12-12. It is indeed the 12-12-12 that is the ascending portion of that you call the Ascension."

Greetings, I am Metatron, Lord of Light. I greet you once and always in unconditional love. And so we speak this moment of what may be termed the 'Heart of the Dove'.

Astronomers have seen a huge galaxy cluster doing what until now was only theorised to happen: making new stars.

Most galaxy clusters - the largest structures in the Universe - are "red and dead", having long since produced all the stars they can make.

But cluster formation should, according to theory, include a cooling phase, resulting in blue light from new stars.

The financial ombudsman service is taking 1,500 new claims for payment protection insurance (PPI) compensation every day, figures show.

Complaints numbers have totalled 400,000, but remain only a "drop in the ocean" compared to all PPI complaints.

The ombudsman deals with cases that cannot be resolved between a consumer and financial institution.
