Re-entry to the workaday world on Dec 17, 2007 after another fabulous 10-day workshop in Yelapa, Mexico was pretty brutal this time. I found myself in the middle of downtown traffic at Christmas time dealing with financial matters, late for a meeting and stuck in a road construction zone. I lost it and let out a frustrated scream, which helped for the moment but then I remembered Ellie Drew’s teachings about the manifesting potential of that kind of strong emotional outburst so I quickly did some deep cleansing breaths and drained the power out of that imprint. I even ended up spending a day sick in bed with flu symptoms, which is highly unusual for me.
Then came Winter Solstice on Friday, December 21. I originally planned to attend a big bonfire celebration further up in the mountains with friends, but new snow and low energy downscaled the plan to candles in my living room. As I lit the candles and placed them around the room, I remembered the last time those candles were set out, was during the infamous 8-day power outage (Seattle area) almost exactly a year earlier, in fact it was the anniversary of the day the power came back on. A nostalgic wave swept through as I recalled those very special days of major hardship amidst deeply connected heart communing. Temperatures inside the house almost as cold as outside required my beloved Anna (visiting from Yelapa), my canine companion and true love Rosey, and me to camp out in the eight-foot comfort zone around the fireplace. We chose not to evacuate because Anna was working hard to finish a tile project (very cool energetic gateposts at the end of our driveway that incorporate crop circle designs that she cut out of tile) and I was caring for Rosey who was dying. Our back-to-basics hard work kept us fed with hot meals and a supply of hot water and we sure learned the benefits of headlamps! When Anna would finally come in after working out in the freezing cold by the light of her headlamp until the wee hours, the three of us huddled in front of the stoked fire and warmed our bodies with hot soup and our hearts with close and deep sharing that makes me stop and cry now as I remember it. The heart-bonding with both Anna and Rosey that took place during that time is of the deepest nature and one of the most precious gems in my heart! The severe conditions somehow felt appropriate to the severity of my sorrow in letting go of Rosey and yet how perfect that we were able to spend most of her last physical days cuddling by the fire. All this came flooding back as I placed one of the Solstice candles on the fireplace right next to the urn that holds Rosey’s ashes.
Once that nostalgic wave had passed through, I reflected on how good it felt to start my Solstice Ceremony with a Memorial for Rosey. This theme expanded into honoring all that had moved out of my life that included a ritualistic letting go of many attachments. When I brought my focus back around to the energies of Solstice and how it is a time when light replaces dark, I suddenly felt, heard, and watched several occurrences in succession of things clicking in. It was obvious to me that several cycles within cycles had just been synchronized into a unified completion and stoppage of further progression along the previous path. Knowledge came through about this Solstice in 2007, the year of completion, bringing several completions together at once, which represents the completion of an age, to be followed by the ushering in of the new beginnings. As I have mentioned before, many are looking to 2012 for the big shift to suddenly happen. My observation of the series of clicking-in of so many cycles-within-cycles confirmed that this shift or evolution to higher consciousness is not a sudden process, but a series of transitional steps, starting with closing off the previous cycle, which just occurred. I became aware of the significance of several cycles all ending the dark phase at the same time and felt this powerful Solstice was being felt much deeper and wider than ever before – of mythological proportion! So many fanciful tales are based on the times of transition between dark and light forces and we are in the midst of one that we are scripting as we go…
I know that some of this is repetition, but I am bringing it through to you as it comes through to me and sometimes repetition is an appropriate tool to help emphasize the importance of a message. A great deal of emphasis is being put on the fact that the previous script of how things played out in the old cycle has been completed and the “THE END” credits have rolled across the screen. New procreative energies are coming into Mother Earth’s grids that are seeking to fill up infrastructures of life-forms with life-force. Our thoughts create these blueprints and our reality is simply a compilation of all thought-forms that are brought to life on a moment-to-moment basis using the electrical charge of our emotions. The completion of the previous script sets us free of the limiting structures that were created during our time of wandering in the dark. Our minds became so conditioned by that limitation that we started creating only that which our minds believed was possible without taking into account divine resources. With this awesome opportunity to start fresh using a new script in this new cycle, we are challenged to re-enter the realm of total unlimitedness and create blueprints that are based on visions of what is possible when we each directly connect to divine potential via Love through Heart. Imagine the gorgeous collage we can create through this process!
Previous to this development, I had always felt that, in my own manifestation practice, the highest good would be served if I just surrendered and directed the energies through my heart without necessarily getting my mind involved at all. What is different now is that these new energies are seeking forms to fill because they need containers in order to stay in our grid. There is absolutely no discernment regarding whose form gets filled. The energies simply flow into the compilation of thought-forms that are in the chute to create the next moment of our reality. Those of us aware of this process can now purposefully put it to use in a positive way and make this world what we want it to be.
Numerologically, 2008 represents new beginnings and it is already living up to that. Our DNA is being automatically updated so our physical bodies are adjusting to the new energies. Now we need to adjust our minds also by exploring where we can go with unlimited resource. Take yourself on an inner journey and let your heart reveal your true desires with no restrictions of any kind, then create your blueprints out of those revelations. As we each do that, the new world unfolds.
