The Solstice and the Christmas holiday has come and gone and I will be honest in saying that this “time” was a wee bit difficult, for me.  The fact that it was “difficult” threw me for a bit of a loop and I began to wonder what, if anything, I was doing “wrong”.  I wanted to feel Light, Love, Peace, and Happiness and instead I began to feel sorrow which began to feel like a great loneliness finally culminating in an indescribable “emptiness”.  I felt the very familiar feeling of abandonment, especially after reading the wonderful stories some of you shared about your “ascension”.  There was much going on over these days, for me, and I couldn’t quite make sense of what was happening and why.  However, as with all things in this process I was able to figure it out and learn the lesson that was intended so that I could find the 3 things I believe are Key to the process…Love, Forgiveness, and Gratitude.  Here’s what happened to me, how I began to doubt the “journey”, and how I found my way to a higher place once again…

       A spiritual transformation, whether for individuals, planetary, or cosmic  requires spiritual energy !

       Dimensions all resonate to a certain frequency, and all entail bringing in more spiritual Light.

       It takes a tremendous amount of spiritual work, effort on everyone's part, and living in the NOW
       to assist a shift in dimension.    As I have blogged for years here about the importance of the Now
       moment and how expansive it is to have this space that it creates to fill it with Light, many still laughed
       and poked fun and thought that spiritual teachings from the Masters were rather 'old hat and old-fashioned.'

Just as the spaces we inhabit need to be cleared of clutter, our energetic fields must also be cleared of the old.

Just as the physical spaces we inhabit require that we clear them periodically of clutter, the energetic fields that are a vital part of our being must also be cleared of old thoughts, energy, and emotions. Clearing your chakras and your aura restores and strengthens your connection to yourself and your divine inner wisdom. Unfettered by energetic baggage masquerading as fear, pain, and self-hatred, your consciousness is once again free to grow. If you find the thought of clearing your energy fields disconcerting, simply think of it as cleansing the energy that surrounds you and releasing any stagnancy. You may not be able to see the results of your efforts, but you will experience a lightness of being and clarity of mind.

Update 12/23/2012:  Earth has now crossed the galactic plane.

Some people say “nothing happened.” Maybe that’s true for them.

You will not build New Earth; you will perceive and merge with the New Earth that has always resonated just beyond your perceptions. . . . Your eyes have not fully calibrated to the Light, nor have your ears fully calibrated to the Truth. . . . your task is one that occurs within your ever-expanding consciousness and will be invisible to those who do not share your journey.

Enlightenment, perception of already existing New Earth, is unveiled via transformation of our own consciousness, not somewhere “out there”. As Zen monks have said, “Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water; after enlightenment, chop wood and carry water.” In other words, before and after our perception has shifted, even after we become enlightened, we’ll still care for our bodies, we’ll still have chores.
