After the final no, there comes a yes…and on that yes the future world depends.
~Wallace Stevens, quoted by Al Gore in a recent TED talk
Al Gore used this quote to illustrate how it often takes a lot of time and effort to make major social changes, such as women’s right to vote, the end of slavery, civil rights, etc. His emphasis is on environmental issues, our dependence on fossil fuels and climate change. He talks about how there is often one ‘no’ after another until the tide turns, the shift happens, the perspective and consciousness about the issue changes. In his TED talk, he says that the ‘no’ is shifting to ‘yes’ in the renewable energy and climate change arena. That is good news! More needs to happen, to be sure, but I’m glad he gives voice to the positive shift.
It feels like we are in a time when there is much resistance to many changes that need to happen and are happening. That means a lot of yeses are on the way!! This is true in the collective as well as in each of our lives. What is happening now is so much bigger than just a shift in a single issue. It is a transformation of human consciousness!! How exciting!!!
In the meantime, it can be challenging or just plain hard to deal with the resistance to change we are experiencing in all of our institutions and within many people and, yes, within ourselves. Trust and patience are sometimes not easy. If we can center ourselves, get quiet and listen, I think we can hear and feel the yeses flowing more forcefully all the time. Yes to freedom, yes to peace, yes to clean air, water and soil, yes to a healthy earth and healthy, joy filled people and so much more!

Dear ones, beloved and precious to my heart,
Much of the ascension shift has already occurred. It has happened within the earth and out into the galaxy and universe. It is happening within the hearts and minds of all human beings but many are just becoming aware. Others are arguing that nothing has changed. But just because people have closed their eyes and can’t see something does not mean that it isn’t there! In a dark room, you may not be able to see the furniture or pictures on the wall, but they are there!!
Now the Divine Spirit is slowing turning up the light of transformation. If a huge spotlight is turned on abruptly, it can be disorienting and even blinding. So we of the spirit realm are turning up the light and sound of the Transformation little by little so you can adjust to the changes.
Some people are awake and looking eagerly around to see what is happening. They are delighted and thrilled to see and feel all that is happening. They are feeling the peace flowing, the freedom rising, relationships blossoming, portals to the Unseen Realm opening!
Other people are just waking up, rubbing their eyes and things look fuzzy. They are unsure of what is happening and feel a mixture of excitement and fear.
Some people are awash in fear as they feel the present reality dissolving and transitioning to one of a much higher vibration and frequency. They feel the gap growing wider and are not sure that they can make the needed changes. So they cling to what is familiar and have a death grip on the old systems that support their current way of being.
There is yet work to do but we are reaching a time when you can relax, knowing that all is unfolding and supported by massive waves of love from the Divine. Focus inward, clearing out all that no longer serves you and welcoming all that does-the love, beauty, grace and myriad gifts being offered to you. As each person reaches higher and higher vibrations, all are blessed and the entire planet transitions. Breathe and become quiet. Then you will feel and know in your deepest being that all is well.
I love you, dear ones. I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend
Thank you
