ARE THESE THE END TIMES?

It seems like the general public realize this IS the "end times" and ask me if it's worth "staying for"? It all seems so negative, mean, greedy, sexual and with no hope in sight...what answer would you suggest?

This is such an awesome question! The answer is complex and must be a long one, so please bear with me.

First, every ending marks a new beginning. Such is the case right now. We are ending an old way of being that has ruled the Piscean Age for the past two thousand years on Earth. This period has been marked by great battles between the forces of light and the forces of darkness. In these two millennia, we have seen great suffering and brutality in the Dark Ages, the Inquisition, the Crusades and Holy Wars. A great deal of pain has been inflicted and endured in the battle for power, dominance and supremacy, and in the various names of God. These battles continue today, but we are in a great transition now.

We have been slowly emerging into the light since the dawning of the Renaissance, where great beauty and great thinkers were born to begin the awakening into a New Age of Enlightenment. Such is that time now. Humanity is on the verge of a new age - that of Aquarius - which shall see men and women everywhere becoming conscious of greater, higher and deeper truths. The light of wisdom shall create an awakening in the hearts and minds of all individuals, and will bring about a great change on Earth.

Time here moves slowly, so this has been a somewhat gradual process. Yet a great quickening has occurred in the last hundred years where "progress" has been taking place at lightning speed. Unfortunately, this has been at a great cost to the innocence of humanity, and a great sacrifice to the planet. In the last century, we have seen the widespread destruction of rainforests, the plundering of natural resources at an alarming rate, and the emergence of weapons of mass destruction. We have also experienced a time when we are coming together as a global community, where children no longer have to work in many parts of the world, where women have gained power and independence, and where men are beginning to feel compassion for one another. The shift has only just begun, and we have a long way to go yet.

We have been witnessing a further quickening since the dawn of this new Millennium, in which we are beginning the process of manifestation at the speed of thought. This carries with it great responsibility, as our thoughts do indeed manifest our reality, and will be doing so at a faster rate than ever before. We must therefore, each of us, take responsibility for our thoughts, above all, because they are not just creating our own reality, but they are also contributing to the creation of our global reality through the collective consciousness. The films and television programs that we watch, the books we read, the news we subscribe to, are all supporting a certain vibration, a frequency related to a particular perspective on the past, present and future; by investing our time, energies and emotions into these creations, we are investing in and supporting the creation of that reality in our world. Most films about the future present an idea of an inevitable apocalypse - this is a choice that must be reached by the entire collective consciousness, so you must ask yourself if this is the reality you choose to believe in and support with your thoughts and emotions.

We must be careful what reality we invest in for the present and the future by choosing carefully what we support with our time, and with our money. Right now, money makes the world go 'round. Money is not the root of all evil, but we allow it to be an expression of power through which we create our chosen experience. Money itself is neither positive nor negative, it is simply energy, which is neutral. In fact, money is an expression of Divine Love that gives us the power to manifest what we choose. It is what we invest the money in that determines whether the result is positive or negative. One of the major problems is that many people who serve the light often renounce, denounce and deny money for themselves, and so they deny themselves the power to use money for positive good.

We are now seeing a great outpouring of positive love and support in the form of money reaching out to those who have suffered the tragedy of a great Tsunami - and this has served to raise the level of love, compassion and consciousness for all of humanity. In these transitional times, it is essential to remember that a great deal of good can come out of what appear to be horrible events. This is what will be marking the turning of the tide.

We are like midwives now, helping the Earth to give birth to a more harmonious relationship with humanity and all living things. The Earth will do whatever she needs to in order to preserve her own life, because she is a living entity who is suffering extreme abuse at the hands of men. We cannot blame her for what she must do in order to cleanse herself, and in order to help humanity to awaken to a greater level of love and compassion. Would you really want to abandon the Earth now when she most needs you? Not only is this worth "staying for", but it is what most of us who are alive now have actually come for!

Humanity is on the verge of a great shift in consciousness, a great and awesome awakening. All those who are awake are being asked to help awaken others from the great slumber of unconsciousness. We are to remember that we are Creator-beings, created in the image of God, and as such, we have great power to love, and through our love, to heal and to create. We have the God-given power of Free Will, which allows us to create as we choose. But many people are ignorant of this power, or choose to ignore it, because in order to use this power to create, you must take responsibility for your creation. You must realize that you have created your reality in order for you to learn, grow, evolve, or in some cases, avoid doing so. Once you accept your responsibility for your experience in this life and for your creation, then you accept the power to create it differently, any way you choose.

Responsibility is not about blame, it is about power. Once you accept responsibility, you empower yourself to create whatever you want, in one way or another. So all those who are awake and aware have the power and responsibility to create this reality with the Light of Love, to see all the love and the light that there is everywhere, instead of succumbing to the brainwashing that would have you believe that all is so dark that it is beyond hope. Look around you, there is beauty everywhere. Even in the darkest moments, there is light if you choose to look for it, especially if you seek it within you, for it is always there. Look for the light, look for the silver lining in the dark clouds. There is always triumph of the spirit, even in the face of tragedy - there is always opportunity for more love, for more compassion, for more growth.

The journey of the soul is eternal - there really is no getting out of here. The only way out is to choose to take your power and create your world the way you want it to be - to focus on what gives you joy, what brings you light, and how you can share your love. This is what makes life meaningful and worth living. To leave now is to miss a great opportunity to contribute your power, your awareness and consciousness toward bringing more light to this Earth. The Earth lies in the balance, and this is a sold-out performance, in fact, it is standing room only. There are too many souls who want to be here to bear witness and participate in this great transformation of consciousness. But don't be in such a hurry to give up your seat, because the Earth's birthday party is just getting started, and everyone's invited!

It is really a privilege to be in the physical. Many spiritual people believe that we must transcend the physical in order to lead a more spiritual existence, but the truth is, we have all of eternity to live as spiritual beings, we have but a short lifetime to be in a physical body where we can create and manifest in third-dimensional reality at will. Our challenge is to express the spiritual through our physical experience.

We also have the great power of emotion, which does not exist everywhere in the cosmos, and which infuses this existence with a rich palette of color with which we paint our experiences on the canvas of our lives. We choose the colors by choosing how we feel in response to our experiences; we choose the landscape that we paint because the canvas is always blank when we arrive here. At any time, we have the power to choose a new blank canvas and begin again to paint a different picture of our lives, with different colors, as we would choose it to be. Change is always possible, there is always choice. In fact, you might say that life is a multiple-choice test, because there are always infinite choices and options, although there are never really any wrong answers. This is the beauty of human existence, and it is a great opportunity.

It is an even greater opportunity at this time, because we come to this planet because it offers us great challenges that support the growth and evolution of our soul. The more challenging the lifetime, the greater are those opportunities to evolve into higher levels of consciousness through love and compassion, and through responsible and conscious choices. There is more growth that occurs through pain than through comfort, because through pain comes compassion, which allows for great evolution of the soul. This is why some souls choose to experience certain tragedies or handicaps in their lives on Earth. It is not personal, it is not punishment, and we are not here to find the way to get off the wheel of incarnation. We are here to make the most of this opportunity, to stop playing victim by giving our power and responsibility away, and to take our power as creators and use this power lovingly and consciously.

One can continue to deny and avoid responsibility, but one cannot really avoid life, because the soul will return again and again in order to grow and evolve until it meets with a lifetime in which the will and the ego allow the soul to fully express its purpose with love and compassion, and then the soul ascends. The only way out is to stop wanting out - to be here fully and play the part that only you can play, or you wouldn't be here in the first place. There are no pawns in this game, every piece is essential, and we especially need those players on the Light team to get off the bench and get into the game! Ask yourself, what team are you really playing for? Are your thoughts, emotions, words and actions inadvertently scoring goals for the other side? You must choose to focus more on the lighter side of things in order to bring the Light into greater balance. There is much to celebrate, if you choose to see it.

Everything on this Earth must be in balance, because we are governed by duality at this time. You must realize that the apparent rise in negativity, in greed, in abuse of sexuality, and in meanness is indicating that there is also a great potential rise in consciousness, in love, in compassion, in caring. We will not be plunged into another age of darkness, but it is up to all those who serve the Light of Love to assist in bringing forth the light and love in the hearts of all men, women and children (children already have it, and we could certainly learn a lot from them!).

It is the time of the great awakening - do not seek to go back into unconscious oblivion. Do not focus on the darkness, but illuminate it with your love and acceptance. Judgment feeds the negativity. You cannot fight the darkness, but if you shine the light upon it, you dispel it - you break its spell. Judge nothing, and accept everything with love and compassion. This is the way of the Light, and this will bring peace to your heart, peace to humanity, and peace to the Earth.

You each play an integral role. Don't give up now. The time of the Calling is here, this is what we've all been waiting for. You have the ability to respond - this is your responsibility. Take your power and choose how you create your reality. Look for the best in everything, in each moment, in each experience, and you will always experience the best of everything. What you focus on is what you will create and attract to you, be certain of this. You are being called, how will you choose to respond?

I invite you to share this awakening with others.
