The manuscript of survival – part 424

Thank you Aisha!

aisha north

As mankind started to evolve, so much of the inherent abilities they came in with, started to decline. This will sound like a contradiction, but this is in fact exactly what happened. For mankind came to be as a perfect species already programmed to attain great heights by their own abilities to climb further up from their very humble beginnings, and in this, you were all set to become the shining beings that you have so longed for to be. But alas, an intervention came to pass, one where other interests were injected into your very bloodstream, and where your future was re-tailored in such a way, it would suit those that came in looking for a way to serve their own interests. And the rest is history as they say, except for the fact that even if these intruders tried as hard as they could, they could not eradicate…

Stand Strong in Love as the Shadow Hastens | D L Zeta

We are at a transition point when energies of the new time are strengthening inside future moments. Realities crystallizing in not-too-distant future timeframes are created from increasingly different templates. These templates are infused with greater frequencies of love, peace, harmony and compassion. Increasing numbers of souls are awakening thanks to these powerful transformative energies. The other side of this is that the energies are also triggering tidal waves of resistance. We can expect in coming weeks and months to see waves of higher energy clashing with denser energies, much like two storm fronts meeting in the atmosphere . Higher Energies trigger Love and Resistance Increasing numbers of souls are waking up and starting to anchor and incorporate the higher frequencies now accessible on the earth plane. As new energies ramp up, new levels of awareness flow in. In some this influx of light evokes fear. It is this fear that sets darker events into motion. In coming months, shifting energies will give rise to increasingly dramatic events on the world’s stage. In areas where ongoing tensions lie, there will be an escalation. Even relatively calm areas will experience spikes of tension and resistance at times. We are at a transition point when energies of the new time are strengthening inside future moments. Energies of the new time send out vibrational waves in all directions. As these waves approach our present moment, we respond to these energies individually and collectively according to our current level of spiritual understanding. As these energies interact with the prevailing frequencies of this timeframe, some will enter new levels of seeing with spiritual and psychic openings and acceleration of their spiritual path. Others will meet these new energies with resistance. Wherever there is resistance, there will be violence, war and disease. Stand Strong in Unconditional Love It is important to stand strong in a place of unconditional love no matter what transpires moving forward. At times you may feel yourself being pulled into the vortex of unfolding events. You may feel overwhelmed and lapse to sleep during these times – literally in some cases. Adrenal fatigue is common in those who allow themselves to be pulled too strongly into third-dimensional events. Some events will be painful to witness as greater frequencies of light in parallel quadrants hasten or quicken the shadow in quadrants still lingering in frequencies of un-love. Those who volunteered to incarnate to this timeframe understand at the soul level the magnitude of the task they signed on for. Even so, at the conscious level, there is no way to prepare for the levels of cruelty and darkness now manifesting. We have seen waves of intense darkness and cruelty rise up in recent times and this will intensify moving forward. It is essential to remain in a place of love. Love is the strongest force on earth. When we remember we are love, we stand strong in the power of love. Love is the transformation point to the violent images now coming to us from the world’s stage. Send Love to All Life Forms This is not a matter of judgment. Each soul travels its own journey to love. Each soul goes through various phases of learning and expansion. Those souls playing the darkest roles in this dream of life are also on a journey to love. They are presently exploring a painful location on the spectrum of human experience. Those who bear witness to their journey are afforded the opportunity to visit and embrace their own shadow and to reaffirm their journey to a greater experience of the love that they are. Even those who embrace ongoing waves of transition are finding this doesn’t guarantee a smooth transition into the new time. Anything that is incomplete, denied, pushed back or trapped in emotional trauma will cry out for release as the shadow hastens. Use this time to home in on any aspect within your consciousness that needs your assistance. Join with others in consciousness and send love to all life forms. Everywhere in every part of the world are those who hold the earth in their awareness and send love to all beings. Join with them and send love to all forms of life, including animals, plants and minerals. Holding every situation that comes before you in the highest light allows you to merge into the ocean of higher consciousness. This ocean is vast; it embraces every soul and every journey toward love. If you allow yourself to fall into the drama unfolding around you and on the world’s stage, you will be of no use to yourself or to others. Stay focused on love and join with many in consciousness who are sending love to the planet and all its inhabitants during this transition time. ©2010-2014 DL Zeta, Celestial Vision, All Rights Reservedwww.celestialvision.org These messages are intended to be shared.

The Last Half of August 2014-More Intense than the first | Denise le Fey (New post Friday August 29, 2014

I’m keeping Denise and her Mom in my prayers and sending reiki.

Unusual for Denise, a very personal and emotional post. Everyone who like me, has the utmost respect and admiration for Denise and who cannot donate; please join me in praying for her and her Mom.

It has been proven that prayer and intentions from many people at once are capable of affecting the physical world in positive and unexpected ways.

And since Denise is very often ahead of many of us in experiencing very similar processes, we may also wish to join together in praying for the collective, and for all on these similar spiritual paths.

What might be impossible for one may become a natural flow for us together in unity.

My understanding of unity and oneness “we are all One” has never included a loss of individuality. We are like the cells in our bodies-unique, individual, designed precisely for our own specific function but inextricably parts of a large coherent whole.

Imagine how difficult life would be if the cells in your liver couldn’t get along and work together. Or if parts of your digestive tract disagreed on timing of their jobs.

Then think how utterly amazing it is when all of our cells function perfectly together-it is truly a miracle despite how we take it for granted.

So now we are learning to be and function fully as ourselves, as functional parts of this larger organism (or organisms-Elizabet Sahtouris explained how the Gaia principle is operational at ALL levels from the subatomic to the Universe and possibly beyond).

I believe if we choose to focus our intentions, prayers and wills on healing, comfort and ascension with minimal trauma for all we will not only help one another and ourselves, we will take a necessary step forward into the NEW natural way of being.
Blessings to all,
ohnwentsya

With This Decade’s Climate Policy, Expect More Warming Than if Nothing Was Done at All

Bruce Melton, Truthout: Since 1986, we have emitted as much carbon dioxide as we emitted in the prior 236 years, yet climate policy has only become approximately 13 percent more stringent.
