2012, The Bridge to Infinity

From Gaia ~

In your own unique way, as guided by the resonant quality of your soul and the desire of the personality that calls you by name, you have crossed another threshold and found yourself in a new year.

You approach an invisible marker in time - one that may as well be chiseled in stone as your imaginations have built a monument to it -- this year has earned a permanent entry in the logbook of your life.

The Mayan elders called 2012 the 'bridge to infinity', a simple term with a double meaning - one that describes the realization of a dream and the other a daydreamer unable to awaken from the dream he invented.

The Mayan elders (not everyone) knew that they were living in a dreamscape - a projection of their own thought creation that made their world appear real in every way. They told their version of the creation story just as you tell yours today, and they believed it as sincerely as you believe yours. And then one day when it was time for the story to come to an end some (not all) of the Maya folded time and took themselves elsewhere. Others walked toward the sun or away from it until they reached another place. And they continued to live as men and women of earth.

Your world, a story that is still unfolding, is designed to present changes and challenges. These are meant to stimulate creativity; to keep you awake and aware of the process. The acceleration of time is one of the ways that your mind is triggered to keep up. The stress that you feel, properly aligned, would feel exhilarating and creative. Attempts to manage time with to-do lists and technological advances are a poor substitute for curiosity and adventure. We will treat this subject with an honest approach as the year unfolds, offering suggestions and exercises for mind, body and spirit, as the integration of all three is paramount this year!

See yourself as a celestial body in motion around a sun, or as riders on the back of a giant whale circumnavigating the globe. The journey is a fixed one, stable and well-known to those who have gone before you. It is also new, as each circle or orbit is unique to those who discover what the explorers of long ago learned - that all things change and are rearranged by patterns and forces that are natural and also defy natural law. 2012 is a year to explore, to grow, and to discover. Find courage and bind it with creativity. You will see that they make daytime companions and nighttime lovers - dream! ~ Gaia

Jealousy is choice, but so is mayonnaise

Jealousy exists and is valid because we create it, but the energy doesn't feel good. It doesn't nurture or inspire, rather binds you to feeling constant lack. It occurred to me that jealousy could really be an opportunity, a reminder, that other options exist. I read an article about someone who just decided to overhaul and simplify her life, moving to a place she loved. I was jealous, I thought easy for her, etc. But I caught myself. I thought why am I jealous, why am I running this program? After all I could easily do the same thing with my family. I choose not to because of other games I'm playing with myself, like being scared of change or the unknown. These are all just story problems.

There are many games around lack and limitation. We tell ourselves there is lack, and so it is. This game has worn itself out and I'm not longer interested in playing. Instead, when I feel that twinge, I'm tuning into the actual feeling I think these people have created in their lives: freedom, enjoyment, peace and balance. That is the gift they are presenting me with, other options. Those gifts are available to each of us, if only we recognize and allow them into our lives. How we do it does not matter, only that we allow them into our awareness and to grow, manifest and create for us all to enjoy.

You are God Also

The wound of Isis runs deep. We are all here to transform that. The energy is stuck and you are here to transform that. But you get angry and impatient because of the difficulty in physical matter, it's like trying to run in thick, heavy sap, and you think you don't move, when in fact just truly being, being here with your natural light is enough. You are frustrated because you don't understand the nature of the physical, because you have forgotten what it feels like to be ethereal, on purpose. You think that is is crude and lower, when in fact it is the building block of life elsewhere. Just as the 1st and 2nd dimension are building blocks for the 3rd. See we all live, and all life is really just experience. You are doing plenty, just by being and that is all, enough greater than the sum total.

Value. The question is do you value? Do you value others experiences? Do you value your experiences? Do you allow their expression as commentary on your expression? Do you value your contribution, your incredible light? And do you value it in balance? Do you you strive for harmony in greater convergence. Or do you seek to make yourself smaller, make judgments in forms of self denial, which is a pleasure in itself. See all is permissible because all is of a greater love and experience. The health of the whole depends on the health of the parts, and vice versa. It is ongoing. The hologram is very real and yet some see it as a prison, a very poor excuse for experience. Again, ALL is allowed because All is love!

So value your work, which IS your being, your experience, your knowledge, your presence and your wisdom. Value this first and foremost and you will naturally value those you love and then eventually those you don't love. It can ripple, like the multidimensional spiral path of an atom. And this is progress.

Lower energies like frustration and anger are stuck energies, stuck thoughts that reflect your own fear of moving forward. This must be honored and then allowed to change. As all is allowed to change and evolve as well as die because it is not serving the whole.

Remember God does not judge the quality of creation. It does not judge because it gives you free will, out of love to create and allow this beautiful struggle of creation, which allows progression, which is evolution of the soul, the greatest love. This must be acknowledged by you because your highest self wants to be with you. But you must allow the higher qualities of yourself first.

You are God also, a part of the whole, so infinite and bold, your boundaries limitless, time no regress. This beauty so foreign and strange, becomes you again, in all it's subtle forms.

Intense

Okay so we are ascending. We are on our way to multidimensional living, raising our consciousness, evolving time as we know. Check.

But ascension is really, really hard darn it, especially with the really, really intense energy waves coming through weekly now. I feel like I'm living in a microwave oven. Out in the world people are edgy and grumpy, feeling the intensity but not knowing why. I know when it peaks because my dogs start freaking out, acting jumpy and barking if a fly farts.

Today, I felt the energy so intensely I wanted to burst. But rather than pick a fight or create drama I decided to yell, loudly, in the privacy of my own home. Pretty soon it turned into obscenities but I didn't censor it and let it flow. I  repeatedly yelled "Fuck You" out loud, several times and was surprised to find how much I enjoyed it. I let it roll off my tongue, even trying it in different accents. The dogs just sat there, looking at me, wagging their tails. That's the great thing about dogs, they don't judge you if you try to scream fuck you in an Italian accent. After yelling constantly for 15 minutes straight I was horse, but very satisfied. I don't know that this is really the most productive to way to move the energy though.

So what do we do? How do we ascend in the easiest most graceful way possible without creating more drama, reliving old patterns, or screaming obscenities to the furniture? How do we ride these energy waves, rather than be trampled by the weight of them?

1. Breathe. If you don't breathe then you stifle your own energy flow and limit the good, new trans-formative energy from coming through. Energy always has to flow. Restriction results in spontaneous combustion, just so that it can move. Simply breathing and allowing it to flow will gives us a more gentle transformation.

2. Allow the intensity and don't fight it or hide from it. Observe any kind of shadowy feelings it brings to the surface. This energy is here to light a fire under our butts, to help us clear old habits and behavior patterns that no longer serve us or reflect the higher state of consciousness we are moving into. It is a natural cleansing process. If problems arise, take a step back, and ask yourself what is this showing me. The external world is our own mirror and helps us see what kinds of choices we are making. If you can get away from blame and anger, and instead view it neutrally, it will be of much greater service.

3. Find outlets that help you feel more joyful and light. Take a walk, scribble on a piece of paper, make a special meal. If you find that you can't take the time, try to remember how it feels when you do something you enjoy so you can bring that feeling into whatever you are doing in the present and hold it. Do not skimp on any self love. The reason why is that we are creating our own realities with every breath, every emotion, every action. If we concentrate only on the bad shit, we get more bad shit because the universe thinks we like it. We are not victims, any of us. We may create situations that feel like victimhood because maybe we don't think we are worthy of happiness, peace, or unconditional love. But this is not true. Every single soul is worthy of and can create for themselves joy, love, abundance and peace. Focus on feelings of joy and you will get more joy. All the new energy coming in is very potent stuff and will help speed up whatever you want to manifest as well. So choose joy for yourself, not poop pants.
