This post is going to be a little different format than usual. I am just going to share some thoughts and impressions that are happening with me.  It is about things that are hard to put into words but it feels so good that I want to write about it anyway!!  I suspect that many of you are tuning into the same vibration, as it feels very big and expansive.

My husband Blair is very sensitive to energy fields and shifts and for quite a long time, he has been saying that ‘something big is happening!’. Sometimes I just enjoy hearing that and other times I get frustrated because I’m not feeling the same thing and I want him to explain it, which is like asking someone to explain red if you’ve never seen it.  Difficult if not impossible!

Well, the last few days I have been feeling VERY intense energy in me and around me. It is a pushing energy and sometimes feels almost ‘hard’, like it is moving me, clearing me, opening up new portals and dimensions.  Sometimes it is very uncomfortable but as I woke up this morning, it was very energizing and exciting.

This morning it was me saying to Blair, ‘something big is happening…actually it feels like something massive is happening!’. As I tried to put it into words, I said it felt like tectonic plates are shifting and moving.  Things that have been stuck are being pushed open!  Things that people have been putting up with are being moved so we can’t ignore them any longer.  Logjams are breaking up and the current is flowing free again.  And we are getting bursts of fresh, blossoming energy to support us as we change.  Wow!  It feels good!

Today I just want to bask in the energy and let it bathe me in warmth and light. I want to be quiet and let it absorb into my being.  I want to welcome it and simply be with it.

I’m sure that many of you are like Blair and have been feeling this already. I imagine that I have been feeling some of it for a while but the intensity has now turned up to the point where I can now feel it more fully.

What does it mean? I don’t know and, surprisingly, I don’t really care.  I’m sure that any meaning that I need to have will be revealed as it unfolds.  Right now it’s about just feeling and experiencing, not needing an explanation which I probably would have trouble understanding anyway.

As I tune into Gaia, I feel like crying with joy, as I see her smiling and saying she is so incredibly glad that people are throwing off the clouds of darkness and oppression and stepping into the freedom of a new day dawning.  She loves us SO MUCH!

Several years ago, I gave a card to a dear friend of mine. It said:

Come to the edge, he said.

They said, we are afraid.

Come to the edge, he said.

They came, he pushed and they flew!

Who knows. Maybe in the energy fields somewhere, this friend has invited me to the edge and could tell that my spirit was finally ready to fly so he pushed and in that realm or dimension we are flying free at last!  My body is still in the physical realm so I won’t be jumping off any cliffs!  But our spirits are not bound by the physical so we are free to spread our wings and soar!!

Love and blessings,

Mary

The fearful belief patterns that are inherent in Tribal consciousness remain among the most influential in present-day thinking.

~Caroline Myss, “Why People Don’t Heal and How They Can”

We live in fascinating times!!! The 5th Dimension, 5D, is coming online here on earth.  It’s about cooperation, respect, well-being, freedom and co-creation.  It’s a higher vibration than 3D which is domination through fear, control and arguing for limitations.

We can see it everywhere, if we have eyes to see. People clinging to old things-jobs, relationships, life styles and choices.  Or…letting go of those old things and clearing the way for the New-work that feeds the soul, relationships that nurture and grow, life styles that benefit the whole and choices that create freedom for all.

Jim Self of Mastering Alchemy says that people are starting to diverge and move into different strata’s, based on where they are vibrating. Some are clinging to old, 3D Tribal patterns.  I think that followers of Donald Trump are great examples of those who feel comfortable being part of a strong tribal culture.  They want a dominating, authoritarian leader who makes them feel safe and will protect their ‘tribe’ from others-immigrants, Muslims, people of color, fat people.  For those who have grown beyond the need for this kind of tribe consciousness, it seems perplexing or even ridiculous.  But for those who need the safety and security of being part of this kind of tribe, it’s natural to gravitate to like-minded leaders and followers.

It can be easy to get caught up in wanting to convert others to our way of thinking, to try to convince others to ‘see things our way’. Yet that is just another iteration of tribal control and domination, thinking that others should be like us.

When we allow ourselves to breathe out the fear in our own hearts and vibrate with peace, love and quiet joy, we are doing so much to create space for those things to attract others and help them feel safe in letting go of their own fear. We create a warm, light-filled and appealing space that we enjoy and that others want to be a part of.

Much gratitude to you for helping to create this new vibrational strata of well-being!!!

My dear and beloved co-creators,

Yes, yes, yes! You are the co-creators of the New way of being and living that is emerging at this turning time!!  Words do very little to help people believe that there are beautiful ways to live and be in the world.  They need to see it in action and that is where the Way Showers, the Forerunners are so incredibly valuable.

The old ways are still very visible-people living such lonely, empty, fear-filled lives. For those immersed in this darkness, it can be hard to see or even imagine a better way.  But the new ways are emerging and that is glorious indeed.

Don’t spend your time looking over your shoulder, lamenting about the problems and unawakened people that you see. Look ahead and envision the beauty, abundance and joy you are co-creating.  Bring those things into the present moment and you then realize more fully that you can live this way each and every moment, right now!!

Don’t wait for the external world to change before you change. When you change, the external world changes!  All of creation benefits!  You benefit!  The building blocks are all around you and help and Helpers are surrounding you.

Go to that quiet place inside of you where peace dwells. Breathe deeply until the noise of the outer world slips away, leaving you in a place of calm delight.  Come to this place as often as you wish.  Here you will live in love always and your dreams will become your life.

I love you, dear ones. I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend

All is very, very well!

All is very, very well.

~Eileen Caddy, co-founder of the Findhorn Community in northern Scotland

My response to Eileen’s message is often a barometer of my state of mind at that time. Sometimes I feel a resounding ‘YES’!

At other times I have doubts and resistance to this thought. When I think of all the troubles in the world-a wonderful friend who just died of cancer, refugees without homes, forests being cut down and so many other ‘problems’-I can feel like all is definitely not well.

I have come to realize that the differences in my thinking usually depend on what I am giving my attention to. Generally speaking, the problems I focus on are in the physical world.  Our bodies get sick and age, people lose their jobs, climate change threatens our very existence and so on.  Our human solutions to these problems can seem so inadequate and elusive. It can be discouraging and even frightening.

Then I realize I need a miracle!! A Course in Miracles reminds us that a miracle is simply a shift in perception.  Miracles are available all the time.  The Course says that fear is a reminder that we are trusting in our own strength.  That can sometimes cause us feel small and powerless (even though we are very powerful).  It’s time to ask for a shift to thoughts of miracles, a time to call on the Divine inside of us that dwells everywhere, always.

That is my invitation to focus on the power of Spirit, the angels, the elementals of the nature realm and myriad partners in the Unseen Realm who are part of an expansive world of love, power, peace and wholeness. When I hold my attention on this, I breathe easier.  I feel calm and trusting.  I know that all is indeed very, very well.  I don’t have to do things myself or count on human solutions.  I have help in high places!!

I believe that, at this time of the Shift of the Ages, we are all being called to expand into the realm of miracles, to shift our perception to the realm beyond the physical where grace, abundance and magnificent love dwells.   In this time of transition, both are true, as my friend Nancy Joy Hefron says.  There are troubles and problems in the physical realm.  Yet it is also true that we have increasing access to the realm of Spirit where all is very, very well and answers and solutions to physical problems flow with increasing ease.

May we all stretch and grow into the realm that is beyond sight of our physical eyes (for now) and relax into that invisible realm where we are held in all-encompassing love, power and strength. Then we will know in the deepest places of our hearts that all is very, very well.

Blessings, Mary

My beloved ones, precious and loved beyond measure,

I know that sometimes problems weigh heavy on your hearts. You live in a world that can seem filled with pain, suffering, uncertainty and fear.  This can block your access to the love that surrounds you and supports you each moment, always and forever.  You can feel alone and vulnerable.  No wonder you feel afraid and lonely at these times.

I gently invite you to expand your vision, to breathe into the world of Divine perfection. Know for sure that all is well, held in love that never fails.  Just as you are surrounded by air to breathe, you are also held in a vast field of Divine love that is with you always.

You have been taught since your birth that you are small and vulnerable, powerless and weak. The purpose of these beliefs is to keep you docile and controlled.  Your loved ones wanted to keep you safe and help you to survive in a world that was dangerous and confusing.  The collective culture had not yet fully comprehended the bigger truth of what life is all about.

Now the blinders are being removed. The clouds that block the light are being dissolved.  The rules that have limited and controlled you are being quietly blown away by the breath of Spirit.  This is good news!!!

Truly, my darlings, all that remains is for you and all of humanity to learn to trust the flow of Divine energy that is bathing you in warm and beautiful light. It’s a vision thing!  Just as animals can hear sounds that are not audible to human ears, so the current influx of perfection and beauty is not visible to human eyes.  You need to see with your heart and trust the stirrings of your soul that can see the unseen!

Go to the place inside of you where peace dwells. Here you can relax and find the wisdom to navigate with ease the changes and transformations that are well underway.  You don’t have to do it all at once!  Just take one small step at a time.  Rest when you are tired.  Ask for Divine help when you need it.  Draw as much love into your being as you need, knowing that more is available without limits!  Each time you move forward, more will be revealed.

Now, my precious ones, rest against my heart of love. Know that you are loved beyond measure and surrounded by love, only love, always love, love overflowing. I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend.

The good news is we have our freedom. The bad news is we have our freedom.
~Jim Self, Mastering Alchemy

Jim says that the earth’s energy no longer supports the rigidity and limitations of 3D, which he defines as the beliefs, rules and patterns of ‘mom, dad, teacher, minister’, the culture we all grow up in. Freedom is in our choices, our capacity to decide for ourselves rather than react from beliefs that we learned in the past. Very exciting but it can also be disorienting and even scary.

We have all heard stories of people who were imprisoned for long periods of time and then were unable to adjust to the freedom of being released from prison. Some animals raised in captivity are not able to survive in the wild because they lack the skills to navigate this different world.

I bump into my rules and limitations all the time. Sometimes it’s small like years ago when I came up to a stoplight in the middle of the night, looked around and no other cars were in sight so I drove through a red light. Not a big thing but it sure made me realize how uncomfortable I was with breaking a ‘rule’.

When I retired at age 56, this decision activated all kinds of ingrained beliefs in me. Even though my dad had been dead for many years, I could sense his voice saying, don’t give up a secure job, work longer and save more money. I listened to my inner guidance and retired but recognized that I had a lot of inner messages that wanted to direct my choices and I had to override and replace them.

I attended a wonderful class on energy healing in Findhorn, Scotland in June. This healer teaches a year long course and I felt a sense of calling to attend. At first I dismissed it for obvious reasons-too expensive, impractical, too much travel and carbon footprint. But the inner calling was insistent and I am now signed up to go. Once again, those inner beliefs were stirred up and I have had to get clear about what Spirit wants me to do.

I’m sure that everyone has their own stories of choosing freedom rather than being limited by things that come from external sources. And I’m guessing we also have stories of times that we ignored or shut out inner guidance to do something and listened to the voices of ‘mom, dad, teacher, minister’, ingrained in us from our past. Either way we learn and grow. Like plants, we reach toward the light that gives us life. We find that there is an abundant supply of love, support and guidance as we make choices and live our lives.

Let’s hold each other close to our hearts as we move into times of greater freedom!
Blessings, Mary

From Gaia, January 13, 2016

Dear ones, beloved of my heart,

How I rejoice when my precious earth children realize that the doors to freedom have been flung wide open. Your physical eyes may not see this clearly yet, but you will! For now, trust your inner vision, the Unseen which is more real than anything you see in the physical.

Be gentle and patient with yourselves. Those old messages, beliefs and patterns are deeply established in your minds. It is like weeding a garden. Water the soil with love and then the things that need to be removed can be pulled out with ease. What is left is a garden of much beauty and grace.

Trust the unfolding and ask for help from the angels, archangels, spirit guides and all who hold a space of love for you in the Unseen realm. We are near to you each moment, loving you and giving guidance, strength, courage and support. All is well, surrounded by Divine wisdom and love.

Accept where you are now. You don’t have to run until you have learned to walk. I am with you always and forevermore. I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend.

Navigating topsy-turvy times

No wonder everything’s higgledy-piggledy here!

~Mr. Banks in the movie Mary Poppins

As I was trying to think how to sum up how I’m feeling at the end of 2015, this phrase came to mind.  Mary Poppins is one of my favorite movies.  When she arrives to be Michael and Jane’s nanny, things get shaken up.  This proper British family looks great on the outside but is disconnected and out of sync on the inside.  Initially, Mr. Banks, who is the children’s father, laments that things are higgledy-piggledy as Mary Poppins turns some things upside down..  He loses his job amidst other life chaos but things turn around. Family relationships improve and his new job is much more rewarding.  They can all see the benefits of the changes.

It feels like all of our lives are a bit higgledy-piggledy right now.  The weather has been reflecting this.  I saw dandelions and alpine strawberries blooming in December.  Solar flares and astrological alignments have caused things to vibrate and shake.  The holidays tend to stir up emotions and memories, pleasant and unpleasant.  We see governments and other institutions undergoing major shifts and changes.

Perhaps our biggest challenge is how to navigate through the internal and external circumstances we are facing.  I am feeling a sense of optimism arising amid the topsy-turvy energy swirling around us and in us.  There are so many great things in our lives despite the problems and challenges.  And we have worked very hard over the past years to develop our strength, resilience and can-do attitudes.  We’ve cleared out a lot of old baggage to make room for new gifts.

I believe that 2016 will provide many opportunities to find joy, bliss and blessings.  Nature never produces waste.  Rather our Earth Mother recycles and reuses each bit of material and energy to capture and regenerate more abundance.  As we compost the outdated aspects of our lives, we can create great new beginnings and wonderful, exciting opportunities for the times that lie ahead.

Happy New Year!

Mary

From Gaia, December 28, 2015

My beloved ones, precious and dear,

Indeed the arrival of a new year provides a great time to reflect upon the blessings and accomplishments of the year we are leaving behind.  It is so easy to focus on the things we wish were different.  Yet each one is a part of the growth needed to create the new earth.

When a child learns to walk, there are stumbles and bumps and awkward movements.  If adults did not know the natural progression from crawling to walking, they would conclude that the child was not developing properly.  Yet we know that each stage is necessary.  We applaud the child for its efforts.  We know the scrapes and bruises are a normal and natural part of learning to walk.

And we don’t try to stop the process or interfere with it.  We may protect the child from danger but we encourage the practice that will lead to walking, running, skipping and hopping!  It is a joyful thing to see a baby become a toddler.

So it is when I see my earth children take some tumbles and try things that do not work so well.  I know that you are growing and maturing and that this is needed.  Your friends in the spirit realm see things from a higher perspective.  We are happy for your discoveries and growth.

We give you encouragement, support and a helping hand, when asked.  We surround you with love and protection.  When you turn to us, we give guidance and assistance.  We can help you avoid pitfalls and stumbling blocks.  We can show you stepping stones!  Please ask!!

Enter the new year with an open heart.  Set expansive goals and intentions but leave the door wide open for them to be exceeded or ones to enter that you haven’t even considered could be possible.  Hold fast to your faith in the goodness of the universe.  Know that you are loved beyond measure and held close in arms of love.

I love you, dear ones.  I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend.

The opposite of scarcity (not enough) is not abundance, but is enough.

~Brene Brown, author of Daring Greatly: How the Courage to be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent and Lead

When I read this quote from an Ecofamily message by Kristi Cooper, former co-worker and dear friend, it vibrated with such truth.  As she goes on to say, enough means just the right amount to satisfy our needs-not too much and not too little-JUST RIGHT.

Abundance sounds great and when it means what this quote says, it fits beautifully.  But I think that often we have distorted our idea of abundance to mean excess.  And that’s where it doesn’t work.  As Mahatma Gandhi said’ ‘The world has enough for everyone’s need, but not enough for everyone’s greed.’

This has been food for thought for me over the Thanksgiving holiday.  How many times have I wanted something I don’t really need?  How many times have I worried about the future, fearful that my needs would not be met?  Those fearful thoughts actually create the lack I am afraid of.

Although I didn’t grow up during the Depression of the 1930’s, I know that I have been influenced by it through the memories and coping strategies that my parents and grandparents absorbed during that era.  Those imprints are passed on, often outside of our conscious awareness.  The fear of not having enough or losing what we have acquired runs deep.  It has been a lifelong journey for me to heal those wounds and fears.

One small, yet not so small, step I have taken is to limit my tendency to store things for ‘just in case’…having an extra item ready in case the one I am using breaks or gets used up.  I have learned to shift my thinking to motivate me to give things away so others can use them now, rather than storing them so I can possibly use them 5 years from now.  Or not to buy or accumulate things in the first place.

Trusting that I will have ‘enough’ is challenging sometimes.  But what a gift of freedom and peace I feel when I can let go of the fear that leads to accumulating and sometimes hoarding.

Let’s do some gentle self-examination and let go of the beliefs that prevent us from enjoying enough!

Blessings, Mary

From Gaia, November 30, 2015

My beloved ones,

I am so joyful when I see my people of the earth at ease, having faith in the supply of gifts that will meet your every need.  Your friends and partners in the Unseen Realm know what you need.  We want you to be peaceful and attuned to the flow of resources that will provide for you.

Surely it is fear of lack and not having enough that drives the machine of destruction, voracious accumulation and hoarding for the future.  Look around you and you will see evidence of that everywhere.

Breathe deeply and quiet your mind.  Get in touch with the ever-present Spirit that guides each step of your way along life’s journey.  Know with great certainty that you are loved and cared for with a depth that is beyond your comprehension.

As you relax into the embrace of love from your Divine Mother, you will cease to worry and simply trust the flow of grace and life.  I am here for you each moment, pouring out love in myriad ways.  It may be the sight of a small creature or a beautiful tree.  Or the smile from a stranger, the brush of the wind upon your face.  I send countless reminders that you are precious and treasured, more than you can imagine.

Rest in the love that surrounds you each and every moment.  Let go of the fears that grip your thoughts.  Know that all is well, held in perfect and divine love and timing.

I love you, dear ones.  I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend.

Support for the birthing

How would it feel for a woman to go into labor if she didn’t know she was pregnant?  That is what the caterpillar part of us feels like.  It is perhaps impossible for a caterpillar to imagine being a butterfly.

From “Sacred Quest” by L. Robert Keck

Keck wrote this book in the year 2000.  Think about what has happened since then!  The end or transformation of old systems and institutions that supported our way of living is quite evident.  The New is everywhere, if we have eyes to see it.  On an individual level, each of us is changing and expanding in beautiful ways.

I’m not saying that it’s easy, only love and light.  There are bumps and scrapes and pain at times.  But the overall trajectory is exciting and uplifting!  The birthing is definitely underway.

I woke up Friday morning feeling a little anxious.  I tried to identify what was causing it and couldn’t figure out anything.  Old childhood painful memories? No.  Something in my current life situation worrying me? No.  I opened facebook and up popped this message from Jennifer Hoffman of Enlightening Life:

“If you’re feeling anxious and irritated today, and maybe a little moody and edgy, it’s because we’re having heavy C-class (low level) solar flare activity. I think the consistent, smaller ones are worse than the bigger ones because they represent a constant bombardment of energy that is uncomfortable, like having a toothache. This series has been ongoing for at least 24 hours now, and they’ll probably last through the weekend. So it’s a heads up, we’re probably going to be a little irritated these next few days, take a deep breath and remember it’s all energy.”

I thought about how blessed we are to have people like Jennifer who are like midwives, helping us through these times of massive change.  There is so much support and assistance as we navigate this Shift in Consciousness, moving from third dimensional energy to fifth dimensional energy.  People can be so helpful.  The sun is vibrating us with awakening energy.  Much in the Unseen Realm is supporting us and helping to us move forward.  I am so grateful for all of it!

Much gratitude to all of you for your part in this birthing!!

Mary

From Gaia, October 31, 2015

Beloved of my heart,

Would a mother/father or sister/brother or friend stand idly by when a loved one needs help?  Of course not!  I can assure you that you are surrounded by love each moment-warm, enveloping love that holds you close and never leaves you.  Sometimes you may not sense its presence.  Yet it is there, as surely as the air you breathe and the earth you stand upon.

Ask for what you need!  If it is a soft hug, I’ll give you one!  Words of comfort?  Yes, I will whisper them gently in your ear.  I give you guidance in so many ways…intuitive nudges, quiet messages of hope, words from a friend at just the right time, words in a book or something on a webpage.  There is no limit to the ways you can receive what you need.  As you get in touch with your inner needs and open your hands and hearts, you will receive!  Trust the flow of the universe that wants the very best for you.

Rest against my heart when you are weary or uncertain or need some love.  I am here for you and so are myriad beings of the Unseen Realm.  We hold you close and surround you with peace, love, joy and blessings.  We walk beside you and hold your hand.  We remind you that you are precious and loved beyond measure.

I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend.

Love from our Earth Mother

The one true thing through all the craziness in our personal worlds and on our planet is your connection to love, to your magnificent heart.  When the world around you spins out of control and your misunderstood emotions scare you or shut you down, the ability to love will steady you, bring you courage and hold you in your own space of love to light your way.  Nurture this connection as you would heat in the dead of winter or a cool breeze on a hot summer night.

~Ezekiel via Nancy Joy Hefron, Heartlights

“A Course in Miracles” says that everything is either love or a call to love.  It is so easy to focus on all the things that  are unloving.  The headlines and news reports stir up so much fear.  And we see so many places where love’s absence is creating pain and problems.

Yet love surrounds us and dwells within us each moment.  It is more powerful than we can imagine.  The more we focus on it and draw it to us, the more peaceful and loving we become.  This spreads out into the world in waves of love.  Very beautiful.

I see this playing out as we become more aware of the harm humans have done to the earth.  There is a backlash of self-blame and blame of others.  Recognizing the problems is helpful.  But I don’t think that blame is helpful.  I have read a lot of things about people assuming that humans are a scourge upon the earth and that the earth might actually want us to leave.

The message I receive is how much our Earth Mother loves us!  She is our MOTHER!  She loves us unconditionally, beyond measure and more than we can absorb.  Human mothers do the best they can but we are limited in our ability to be loving at all times.  So I think we project that onto our Earth Mother and others of the Unseen Realm.  We assume that we are being judged harshly and condemned for our mistakes and the damage we cause.

I believe that the earth, our Earth Mother, wants us to change some things.  But I don’t think she is angry with us or unforgiving.  She wants to help us, to teach us, to hold us in a loving embrace as we learn and grow.  She wants us to be gentle with ourselves as we change our ways and step into the unknown.

The light of love can remove any darkness.  Thank you for your part in this!

Mary

From Gaia, October 19, 2015

My beloved ones, precious to my heart,

Let me share with you what I see.  I see a great awakening upon the earth.  People are becoming aware of their power and the consequences of their actions.  People are changing, despite their discomfort and fear.

Consider a mother’s heart.  Unless abuse has distorted things badly, a mother’s heart is tender and she loves her children deeply and profoundly.  She pours out love without ceasing.  Her heart hurts when she sees her children make unwise choices.  But she doesn’t stop loving them.  She doesn’t close her heart.  She continues to be there to guide, assist and teach.  Her arms are always open and welcoming.  She helps her children learn and grow.

Dear ones, never doubt that the Earth loves each and every person who is now alive upon the earth.  Every single one!  Each one is precious to my Mother heart!!  If you were perfect, you wouldn’t be here in Earth School.  Each of you is here for a purpose.  You are not alone.  You are surrounded by beings from the Unseen Realm who love you very, very much and are cheering for you, sending strength and wisdom and much love.

The world can be a harsh, judgmental and unforgiving place.  But that can be changed!  We can pour forth so much love that nothing can withstand its gentle, powerful force.  It may seem impossible but it is not!  Take my hands, my precious co-creators.  We are transforming things together in beautiful ways.  Rest against my heart when you are weary or confused.  Listen to the quiet whisper of love and wisdom that I share.  Feel the sun’s warmth upon your face, the quiet brush of the breeze upon your skin.  Know that you are loved beyond measure.

I love you, my darlings.  All that truly exists is love, only love, always love, love overflowing.  I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend.

The morning after

What has my bee in a bonnet are these ‘this is THE date’ predictions, either foretelling the official ‘end of the world’ or official ‘beginning of the world.’ They trigger false fear and false hope, and then when those dates pass a lot of people are left feeling deflated, or justified in their ‘told ya so’.

~Dana Mrkich, http://danamrkich.blogspot.com.au/2015/09/lunar-eclipse-we-are-flash-of-light-we.html

It’s September 29, 2015, a day after the predictions for huge changes from the September 27-28 blood moon eclipse and other astrological and cosmic happenings.  I woke up this morning with a lot to integrate in my thinking.  I really appreciated Dana’s blogpost with the excerpt above.  I encourage you to read the entire post.

On the one hand, things look a lot the same.  Congress in the U.S. is threatening another government shutdown, 2 dear friends still have terminal cancer, my mother-in-law with dementia is being moved to a locked memory unit in her care center, children are being abused and so on and so on.  And yet…

And yet…Shell has withdrawn its plans to drill in the Arctic due to protests and public pressure, a McDonald’s in Germany is now offering organic beef burgers, people all over my community are planting milkweed and plants to support bees and other pollinators, a passionate group of people in Hawaii are organizing a leadership training to step up the effectiveness of their protest of agribusiness corporations who spray toxic pesticides near schools and residential areas, and so on and so on.

Whether it be in our personal lives or collectively, the choices are becoming more pronounced.  Do we flow with the status quo or do we head out into unchartered places to create a new way of living and being?

It feels to me that the support for change is growing rapidly.  People are making changes that are transforming life on earth and for the earth.  I read that the earth’s vibration, the Schumann resonance, is significantly faster.  We are being invited and the earth is insisting that we move into alignment with her ascension.  Compassion, love, peace, joy and kindness are the result.

As I read the message about the group in Hawaii determined to limit or remove the corporations that are adversely affecting their islands, I felt their invincible determination and unshakable power.  I have no doubt that they will accomplish what they seek.  This strength and power is inside each of us, as well, just waiting for us to access it and use it.

Jennifer Hoffman of Enlightening Life says it so eloquently: “It’s nearly October and we just passed successfully through what some call ‘Wave X’, a blast of high vibe energy that amped up the potential for the future, while helping us release significant amounts of energy that no longer serves our desire to live in a world that resonates with peace, love, joy, and prosperous abundance. We asked for help to change the world and we got it. Although it doesn’t come in the form of the rescuer on a white horse, it did come in the form of the energy we need to create the change we want. This is, after all, our domain and our home. If we want it cleaned up, we have to get the mops and dust rags out and get busy. The universe just supplied the ‘Mr. Clean’, so to speak.”

I’m excited as I contemplate what’s ahead, for me personally, as well as what is happening in the collective!  I’m glad we are going through this together!  I always welcome your comments, stories and perspectives.

Blessings, Mary

The gift from Donald Trump

Everything is either love or a call to love.

~A Course in Miracles

Please note that I am NOT saying that Donald Trump is a gift!  But as I watch him campaigning, I am vividly reminded of the lessons we can learn from him.  He is certainly an example of someone who is a ‘call to love’.  To me, he embodies qualities such as greed, selfish self-interest, judgment, blame, rudeness and prejudice.  His attitudes and behavior reek of fear, separation and more fear.  He covers it up with an air of superiority, arrogance and condescension.  How sad.

Yet he is pulling things out into the light.  He gets a lot of attention and people are responding…either by embracing his messages or in contrast with them.  I think there is an appeal because he is so brutally honest and people are fed up with the politicians who say what they think people want to hear.  People are sick of the lack of truth and integrity our politicians and our political system offer.  There’s a certain appeal in the way he says what he thinks, regardless of the response.

I have heard Trump compared to Hitler and if I thought the American people were likely to elect him President, I would be very concerned.  But what if he is simply a light shining on a political and government system that needs a major overhaul, if not a complete re-do?  He thrives on attention and we can withhold our attention from him and send him love and compassion.  We can picture a shield around him that protects people from his destructive beliefs.  We can pray that people look within themselves and realize that they are god-creators, aligned with compassion, love and kindness.  When that happens, attention for people like Donald Trump will fade into oblivion and we will have the world we are in the midst of creating, one full of so much love that everything else will be a distant memory. May it be so!  Let us create it now!!

Blessings, Mary

My precious and beloved ones,

I am holding you so close to my heart as you experience the dissolution of the old systems and beliefs.  Surely there is chaos and turbulence at this Turning Time.  If you look just at the surface events, it can be a frightening scene.  Many are in panic or even terror to see their way of life threatened.  Others are dealing with the aftermath of major changes and disruptions.

Dear ones, you can bring every thought and feeling to your Divine friends and partners in the Unseen realm.  Allow your feelings and thoughts to flow.  As they rise to the surface, you can release all that no longer serves you!  Wave good-bye as fears come into your awareness and then are sent into the violet flame of transmutation.  Feel the grief, anger, sadness, frustration and hopelessness that may be a part of what is passing through you.

Love it all!  Sometimes it takes a good scrubbing to get something clean.  It can be painful.  But picture the relief and beauty of a world washed clean of the corruption and filth of the current age.  Feel the peace and love that fill the empty places that were filled with fear that is now gone.

Breathe out everything that no longer serves you.  Breathe in quiet joy, gentle peace and the beauty of love, only love, always love, love overflowing.  You are held in great love as you assist in this magnificent process of transformation.

I love you, precious ones.  I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend.
