What’s going on in the U.S. and what does it mean for us “Lightworkers?”

I asked the Akashic Record guides to shed some light on our current American election bedlam. This is what they said:
.

There is much upheaval and turmoil and that is as it must be. Underground rumblings are shifting the foundation and the old structures cannot continue to stand as they were.
.

In fact, like an earthquake where the tensions have built up for many years and then suddenly release all at once, that is happening now in your own house of government.
.

The tension and contradictions have been tightening and tightening and when they release it may seem sudden and everywhere at once, but it’s merely revealing what has been so all along.
.

And that is nothing to worry about. It is a cleansing process.
.

You have not come here (to Earth) in the time and way that you have to be pulled down into the whirlpool.
.

No, it is your time to rise above and witness, watch, hold a space of calm strength and presence, not flinching, not backing down, not turning away and not getting pulled in to the maelstrom.
.

How can you do this?
.

Learn to stand steady in a storm. You do this by keeping your light lit, connected to the source of light above and your feet solidly rooted in the source of strength below.
.

So do you become a pillar of strength and light, a steady witness and a holder of the gate open for the next emerging.
.

If you are not too attached to the old regime and its expectations, and stand solidly positioned as a witness and holder of the gate for the influx of the new… you will be doing your job.
.

Connect to the power of the Earth and the light of the Source above you, so that you become a pillar of strength and a beacon of light.
.

For that is what the world needs and will need more and more.
.

Not only that, but with a smile on your lips of knowing the beauty of what is coming that is not yet here in physical form, that you cannot see, but which you are holding the door open for.
.

You are the lightbearer, you are the pillar of strength. Stay awake in your highest connection.
.

it is tempting to get embroiled in the mayhem below, but if you stay anchored in your power as a bridge between Heaven and Earth, anchored in each, you will be known as one to be trusted.
.

You must not be swept away in the floods, you must actually hold firm despite those swirling waters.
.

That is the vision we hold out for you to measure your next expressions by.

The world is at a turning point. And you are part of the Transition Team.
.
P.S. FROM TOMAR:

I must add that what this counsels us to do I agree with wholeheartedly, yet have found very hard to do as the maelstrom is so hard to resist – even addictive. It feels inevitable, even righteous, to get sucked into the polarization.
.
I do believe we need to somehow find a stance where we both rise above and hold the largest possible vision AND also take a principled stand against what we see as wrong and dangerous. This double-stance exemplifies the paradox of what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience!
.
This is the most clearly I have understood the challenge implied in our dual nature! So much is at stake. And although physical action is mandatory and urgent, our state of consciousness may actually have the greatest impact.
.
This is an important passage in our evolution. And I wish each of us blessings and compassion as we find our role to play.
.
Love to all.

Akashic Message: A Solstice Blessing

Hibernating Light 2
A Solstice Blessing
from the Akashic Guides

 
In the safe covering of darkness much is being created. Much is leaving the Earth and new forms are arriving within the shelter of the deepest internal spaces of life.

If you allow yourself to sink deep into that center within yourself
and feel safe there… And if you can there let go of what is trying to leave you and be open to receiving what is approaching in the shelter of darkness that you do not know yet… Let it be so.
 

Within the enclosure of that inner space of peace,
do not try to pry open the lid to know who has arrived. Just let the shifting of energies be felt in your being.


Allow the replacement of the old by the new to take place gradually
and softly, without having to look, peer within, and name the new arrival.


In the safety and enclosure of your inner space of darkness
let the new arrivals find their new home in you. Adjusting and shifting will happen and you do not even have to know what it is.


It happens while you sleep,
while your are looking elsewhere, not paying attention to the slow growth of God within you. That is as it should be.


Let the light come slowly at first from the tiniest seed,
then gradually fill your being with a soft glow as you get used to the new reality.
Softly and slowly the light swells and brightens but will not blind you.


Allow this gentle emerging of light to happen in its own time and pace
. Do not rush it.

You are receiving well the seeds of new life being planted everywhere in ripe and ready soul soil.  Do not disturb them, let them sink deep within you.
Trust this process.

Trust the dark hidden changes taking place
. Not all of you is visible, most of who you are is hidden to yourself as roots sink way beneath the surface. Let this privacy remain hidden in the proper realm of the Divine Gardner.

So are you being prepared for a new and glorious Spring.

All is well now.

 

Midlife Women – A Force to be Reckoned With

Screen shot 2015-11-28 at 4.50.59 PMIn 2009 the Dalai Lama declared that the world will be saved by the Western woman.

I think I understand what he meant by that and love that he said it.

But I believe he left out one word: midlife.

I believe that midlife women are a force to be reckoned with. I believe that midlife women who are being called to graduate to the next level of our evolution are part of the force that can transform the world.

I call that force Wise Women Waking.

Actually, Wise Women Waking is a convergence of three powerful forces.

1. The first powerful force is the choice point, the turning point, that humanity is at right now.

Which direction will we go in? Will we continue to head towards destruction and perhaps make our world uninhabitable? Or will we achieve the great evolutionary leap towards a higher level of consciousness that will transform our world and our species? Will we be able to raise ourselves up towards our highest potential and create the world we all long for?

The great amount of awakening happening all over the globe today points to how quickly human evolution is accelerating. And every Wise Woman Waking is part of that movement.

2. The second powerful force is the return of the Feminine, the Divine Feminine principle, to the Earth.

A great part of the current awakening is the resurgence of the feminine principle that has been suppressed for so long, to the detriment of life on Earth. The qualities of the feminine are needed to bring our world into balance and harmony and to restore priority to life, love, and inter-dependence, over power, fear, and domination. 

Part of the Divine Feminine that is not always mentioned is the Wise Woman archetype, the energy of the mature female. This essence is embodied by every Wise Woman with years of experience, wisdom, and passionate purpose ready to harvest in the service of life.

We who are Wise Women Waking are part of the resurgence of the Feminine.

3. Finally, the third powerful force is the individual soul of each and every Wise Woman who is feeling called to contribute, called to awaken, called to remember who she is and why she is here at this time. The awakening soul is a huge source of power, love, and wisdom ready to erupt into our world with action, energy, voice, and presence. 

As each woman feels the call of her soul to explore and discover her potentials, to be, do, and give more of her true self, to join with the forces of transformation, and to add her personal thread of light to the new reality being woven .. the ripple effect spreads out exponentially. It is time for us to remember who we are on the highest level and to discover that a time of great fulfillment is awaiting us as we step forward and say yes to it. 

Not only is it not too late, but this is our time to bloom!

I invite all Wise Women Waking to join this movement, this gathering momentum for transformation in the world, and in the process to discover a joy, power, and energy that you may not have even guessed at before.

Women in midlife and beyond can be an army of light, of conscious intention, and of practical and subtle wisdom to help heal the world. The power lies within each and every one of us when we hear the call…. and answer it. 

Within each one of us lies enormous potential power and creativity waiting to be unleashed. We are a force to be reckoned with!

Giving great thanks

Screen shot 2015-11-25 at 2.16.37 PMWhat can we say of thanks-giving that has not already been said?

The best thing about remembering to give thanks – even in a formalized way through a national holiday (even one based on falsely concocted national myths) – is that it encourages many of us to shift our attention from our personal sorrows, fears, and desires to a bigger picture.

It helps us shift our lens from our mind to our heart, from the eyes of calculation for what we can get, to  the eyes of appreciation for all we already receive.

For some it is e a time of appreciating those closest to us. For others it may go further to include thanks for the simple amenities of life we take for granted – hot water, safe housing, enough food. For others the appreciation may extend further, to the bounty of the Earth that is the support of all life, despite how we abuse her. And for some it may go even further, to Existence itself, the very miracle of Being that brings us all into this moment of experience – whether that moment is pleasurable or not.

For the truth is that every moment is an out-breath of something we cannot fathom, a mystery greater than we normally even pause to consider.

Is it appropriate to thank that which breathes us into existence – we and the entire universe? Are thanks in order? Or is it something more like humility and awe?

Can we stop our mental calculations long enough to look up to witness such a bigger view?

And what purpose does that serve?

I believe humanity is moving in a direction of inclusivity, away from the ground rules of separation that have caused so much chaos and suffering for so long.

The impulse to remember what we are grateful for is a moment of inclusivity in larger and larger circles of connection. It is a moment of recognizing our interdependence, and that the ultimate reality we are part of is totally out of our hands – and yet is a blessing.

The impulse to give thanks helps us to remember that self-reliance (the great myth of our culture) is a delusion, and that we are all co-participants and co-creators in a great dance so vast we cannot see its pattern or its edges.

We do not know how the steps of our lives contribute to the pattern of the dance – because we cannot see the big picture and we’ve been given no rules to follow.

But I am sure that every step you take and every step I take in our seemingly separate lives, and every occurrence on this and all worlds, are all part of that dance, whose beauty and meaning are continually emerging in patterns we cannot comprehend.

And I trust that some great Eye is witnessing it all and giving thanks.
