“Some of you are vibrating to…the collapse of the ‘powers that were’.
~Channeled message from Ezekial (the emotional field of humanity) by Nancy Joy Hefron, http://heartlights.net/
The quote above is something that Nancy Joy shared in one of her recent Reflections messages. I strongly encourage you to listen to the entire message from Ezekial on her website. It beautifully captures what is happening right now-the cleansing and releasing and creating that is going on.
I loved that she talked about the ‘powers that were’ rather than what we typically hear which is ‘the powers that be’. What a great thought in these Turning Times. The world around us may look much the same as it has in the past. But things are changing, first in the Unseen realm and then moving into the Seen realm.
I tried to think of an analogy that made sense to me as I try to integrate what is happening right now. What came to my mind is the concept of ‘lame duck’, as we see with elected officials. When someone has been voted out of office or chooses not to run again, he or she often remains in office for a short time, before the newly elected person takes over.
What if we are living in a ‘lame duck’ world right now? What if the power has shifted but just not completely replaced the current structures and institutions and people who have been in charge for so long?
I believe that the answers to these questions lie within our own hearts. Our rational mind and egos may argue that there is much to fear and stress about. But our hearts know that we are held in a loving embrace by the Divine Spirit which is love, only love, always love, love overflowing.
We have lots of help but we all need to do our part. We are shedding that which no longer serves us and co-creating new ways to be. We need to re-claim our power that we have given away to other people, government, institutions and outdated beliefs. As we do so, we find what we have been searching and longing for-peace, joy, love and the beauty of community.
Blessings to you as we share in this exciting journey, Mary

Beloved ones,
Indeed there is much to celebrate at this time of transformation and ascension. But it depends on your perspective. If you are mired in the muck of the collapse of the old ways, things can seem dark and disturbing. However, if you can rise above the fray, you can see the beauty of what is emerging. Think about fire-it can seem destructive and yet it creates the conditions for new life. Energy/matter is not destroyed, it simply changes form.
Once again I say to you, go within your heart. Come close to my heart. Together we can sense and feel the love that surrounds everything at all times. Quiet your minds and breathe in the peaceful energy that is available each moment. Know deep inside that all is well, held in Divine care. All that you need will be provided as you open your hands and your hearts to receive it.
As you are filled with love and light, you can share this with others and find the pathway that leads to a bright future. I love you, my precious ones. I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend.

Beautiful message Mary. I love how we vibrate often in that same sweet place. Beloved Gaia holds us as we continue to come back to center broadcasting this sweet place from our hearts. Blessings and much appreciation!
Nancy Joy, I’m so glad we can share. You are such a light, shining and illuminating the path. Thank you!!
Mary, excellent and loving as always. See Alan Oken’s Sept. 3rd comment; he says we are in a cuspal limbo which is similar to your lame duck phrase. It’s on target except that Christ consciousness is in many hearts. There will be no One but Many. I resonated too with Nancy’s message and told her it reflected my feelings. It is our heart intuition that is our Light to follow as their are many pieces of “truth” in the world.
Bonnie, I absolutely LOVE hearing your perspectives on things. You are so knowledgeable and so insightful. I will check out Alan’s comments. Blessings, Mary
