Welcome to the new dawn. Welcome to the latest renaissance of the human soul. Welcome to the latest golden age- an age of understanding, of empathy, of perseverance, and of soul, of heart, of breath. You have made it to the next part of the journey. You as a people, you as a collective, you as a species. Welcome, welcome, welcome!

I have a simple message for you today. It is simple and full of light and love. It is a simple "Welcome."

There are no marching orders. There are no lists of things that must get done, now that the shift has become the strongest and most visible. Do not be confused, there is a lot of work to be done, but for now, simply welcome it. Allow yourself to feel the difference. Allow yourself to feel an existence that is destined for movement, for motion, for great change and great clarity. Allow yourself to feel an existence that is full of grace, of life with purpose, of greater connection than ever experienced before. Allow yourself to feel the flow. Allow yourself to feel the grace. Allow yourself to feel the endless possibilities.

This is the first step to activation. The change must come from within. The desire must come from within. The hope, the faith, the power must come from within. The first step to activation is awareness. It is time to become aware that the world is changing. It is time to become aware that your life is important, and that you are needed for this global revolution of the human spirit. It is time to feel for yourself that you are connected to the ebb and flow of millions of other souls.

Take the next few weeks to pay attention to your surroundings. Ask yourself:

• Are there visible ways that people have changed? 
• Are there new places, people, and interests that I feel drawn to? 
• Are there new ways that I find myself looking at things? 
• What does my body tell me is going on? 
• What does work feel like, now? 
• Are my goals and actions aligned? 

Just observe. Take note of things that you notice have changed-- simple vibrations, simple thoughts, simple perspectives. Then share the observations that you make.

The second step to activation is community. Awareness then community.

Don't hide away any longer. Don't stay separated from your hearts or your souls, or your soulmates. Find them. Call out to them. Now is the time.

It's not to late for anything, for every moment is just the beginning, and let me assure you that this is the beginning of the most amazing thing to ever take place on this planet.

Peace on Earth and goodwill to ALL men, woman and children.
Peace and Earth, both inside and out
Peace of heart, mind, and body
Peace of life can always be found in the pace of life, just for future reference.

Continue to work hard, but understand that play is part of your work. Your only job is to be the best and most content YOU, you can possibly be.

Love and Light, your God and her God; they are all one in the same.
Peace, Light, Love and Laughter.

Utopia of the Soul

Time to tell it, as I hear it. The following all comes from a very strong source. I will call it Love. You may call it what you wish, any name or title that resonates with you and fills you with calm and peace. He speaks to all of us below. I am humbled to be a channel for all of us:

Today was an important day:
I slept under the stars.
I rode on the back of a horse.
I saw a rhinoceros for the first time.
I ate with a spoon.
I was given a place to rest.
A friend came back into my life after years of separation.
The salty ocean water cleaned all of wounds- those on my body and those festering in my soul. I heard a baby laugh, and saw my lovers cry.
I held hands with the most beautiful girl, and a sang songs of praise in a humble church.
I put food on my table for my brilliant children.
I had little around me, but craved nothing.
I smiled as I sat without a chair upon the ground.
I taught a bird how to fly again.
I sold my house so that I could continue to follow my dream as a traveling musician.
I learned a prayer that soothed my soul, and heard a lecture from my mother that finally helped me to understand.
I read a good book, and saw a horrible movie, but it was great because I got to make fun of it with my best friend in the entire world.
I found a soul mate on the L train.
And I finally got a chance to take a walk and clear my mind.
I worked hard today, but began to understand what I really want out of life.
I learned to say no, and I learned to accept gifts with a simple, "thank you."

I am you, and you did all of these things today, and I thank you for this. I thank you for building an experience for me. I thank you for living. I thank you for feeling. I thank you for building a world that I want to live in.

Everyday, I sense, and feel, and am, both good and bad. The bad is part of the plan ladies and gents! The bad still helps us to build together. It helps you to heal; yes, you heard it hear first, pain is the first step to healing. If it doesn't hurt, you won't think to address it. Think about it!

I also was robbed today.
I found out that I had cancer.
My baby died seconds after she breathed her first breath.
I was terrified by a man in black, and I lost my job.
My husband swore at me and then broke a bottle of whiskey against the wall.
My sister tried to kill herself, and I didn't even feel that bad about it.
My mom threw up today in the sink, and she was so drunk that I had to clean it up.
An army of bandits, or guerrillas  as they like to be called, ransacked my home and would have stolen and killed my daughter had she been home.
My baby broke his arm trying to crawl out of his crib, and a violent storm took the roof of of my home.

I am sorry for many things today but am too proud to apologize.
I hurt my mother, when I told her I thought she was a slut. I sang a song to her to heal her pain, but it was in my head. I'm not strong enough to face her.
I told the man of my dreams that I couldn't marry him, just because my father does not approve. I sang a song of regret, but I'm too frightened to face my father.

I rejoiced in a birth.
I forgave myself.
I laughed so loudly that everyone around me joined in.
My cat comforted me, and I realized that I'm not really alone.
I found beauty in the sunset, and realized that there is something to all of the, "We are One mumbo-jumbo."

It is hard for all of us to understand we are One, that life is interconnected, that there is balance, and that Utopia is a place where we are free to grow as we need to, where life is not restricted or prejudged, where honesty reins, not perfection. A Utopia is a place where we can ask questions and receive answers, where people are free to live a life that is authentic and meaningful, where everyone is safe, but no one is protected. Where people help each other to listen to their souls. Where people are free to work out their demons in a way that is safe and sane, in a way where they can release the energies that no longer serve them and have never connected them, without destroying anyone else's soul.

But this Utopia is not without conflict. This Utopia is not with out death, or disease, or pain, or betrayal. This Utopia is not without fear. Fear may separate you from God, from Me, from the Earth, but how can you really understand connection and the power that comes from that connection without it being lost to you?

This Utopia isn't without heartache and grief. This Utopia is safe, it is sane, but it allows all feelings all emotions, and private thoughts and desires. Everyone will not get along in this Utopia, not now, not at this point in the evolution of Spirit. We must first understand what it is truly like to be thriving, blessing, unique individuals before we can completely and correctly harness the power of Oneness.

I wish for you a Utopia. I will help you build it, once you decide how to make it work. I have given you all the resources you need. There is more than enough for all of you. I will help create safety for all. I will help create life and help love to flow, but you first must acknowledge that you want this, and then you must ask for it. You must be brave enough to ask for a place where everyone can be authentic, and be smart enough to understand that pain, and grief, and polarization will be present but with a purpose. Everyone must be welcomed and included, or your place of perfection fail. Someone left on the outside will seek to tear it to pieces.

You must allow people who are weak of Spirit in your walls. You must allow them to figure out their journeys for themselves. You must allow them to make mistakes. You must all them to fall down, and you must never turn your backs on them.

Your police and firefighters and armies are meant to serve and protect. Take away their weapons and arms that destroy, but still give them the power to protect. Teach them how to sense a soul that is in crisis. Teach them how to help humans release negative energies. Teach them that conflict is needed for growth, and that they do not need to fear discontent. Teach them to create safe spaces of release. Teach them to understand the difference between violence and growth. Teach you children the same.

I know you want to be free of pain, of despair, of disbelief, but My Children, I refuse to give you that. I refuse to take away the gift of life. And all those things are the gifts of life. They help you make sense of the world. They give value and meaning to love, understanding, and peace of mind. They also create love, understanding and peace of mind. I refuse to take away anything that makes you whole, anything that brings you back to Yourself, to Me, to Your Family.

I will help you create a Utopia, a safe haven where you can be with every emotion, with every reaction, with every argument. A Utopia where every soul is safe from being harmed, but no body is free from pain.

I want you to understand this more than anything. I want you to understand that peace cannot be found without chaos, and that chaos cannot manage to fight itself. Chaos will eventually give way to more chaos because chaos always realigns and gives meaning to the Universe, and the cycle must start again.

People have the right to live without fear. People have the right to live in a place where that do not need to fear growth and natural progression, where they are respected as evolving beings who are far from perfect but trying. Everyone should have the right to try, to have control of their own destiny. Everyone should have the right to be free of the fear of control and dismissal. Everyone should have the right to deal with their fear of self, their fear of truth, and their fear of connection. This is the fear that separates, but later aligns.

I bring these words in peace. I will help you once you are ready. Be your own best friend, first and foremost. Get out of your own way, and then help clear the way for others. Build that Utopia in your own soul. Then help build it in the soul of others.

Because you see, Utopia exists within, and when enough of you have built it within- this place where people are free to hurt, to laugh, to sing, to dance, to explore and make mistakes, you will see that it will begin to magically manifest in little corners of the physical world. 

Heaven can only be reached within, and Heaven on Earth can only exist once enough of us have taken the time to journey within. 

Good luck, safe travels, and see you on the other-side of the curtain.

Amen.

Follow Your Colors

Seen but never heard:

I have often wondered what it's like to be really small. To be so very tiny that a blade of grass would be tall. Well I had a chance to find out, as strange as it may seen. When I went to visit a lady bug in one of my craziest dreams.

Those are the words to one of my favorite songs that we used to sing in elementary music class. Mrs. Kehoe taught that class. She was young, and energetic, and super nice. She was the perfect elementary school teacher. She always made me feel safe, and special, and had a way of keeping even the most unruly of kindergarteners engaged.

I often sing that song to myself when I'm playing outside, daydreaming, or cloud watching. It feels fun and lifts me up, and it reminds me how important it is to want to be in someone else's shoes. It reminds me that everything is different when you are someone else. And it reminds me how important dreams are.

I am having a hard time at the moment. My anxiety is out of control, and I mean just that. I can't seem to control it, or even understand it. It attacks at weird times, and then doesn't seem to be present when it logically should. It is an unruly little critter at the moment!

But I know it is teaching me a lesson, and trying to show me something. So I'm trying to be patient. Trying to let it be heard without owning me. And I think this is a healthy approach. Allowing it to "be", but not giving it too much power. And just because I think that this is a healthy approach, it doesn't mean that I'm good at following through with it, although I'm getting better.

But last night I had a dream. I was in a hospital in Boston. I was with my sister, Nikki, and I was being tested as a bone marrow match. My sister had leukemia and I was a perfect match, but the doctor's told me that because of my anxiety I couldn't give her a transplant, because I had thrown and ion off in my body, and because of that imbalance, my marrow was no longer a match. I was so bewildered as to how my anxiety could affect my bone marrow, the core of life, in many ways because after all they say "blood is thicker than water."

I wasn't angry or even sad, just bewildered, and I knew I had to find a way to calm my anxiety. Then the doctor said it was fine, that I didn't need to worry about it because they found another match. It was my other sister, Manny. She is only 11 and there was no way I was going to let her go through such a painful process. I needed to get my anxiety down!

I don't know what I tried or what I did other than surround myself with friends and really focus on colors and personal preferences. But I finally got my anxiety down. I called my family back home telling them that they didn't need to come to Boston, that they didn't need to bring Manny, but they were already on their way.

I raced to see them, and suddenly it was announced that my sisters cancer was gone, but there we all were, even my step dad, one happy family to the rescue, and now just with time to celebrate. Honestly, we didn't know what to do or how to celebrate, but I assumed we would figure it out, and I smiled and woke up.

This was my dream. I didn't even think about all of it until I sat down to type. I did mention the lukemia part to some people in the office because at the same time a few coworkers were talking about their dreams last night, I got a phone call from a colleague who was looking to take a research gig at a cancer institute.

But other than that I haven't held it in my mind, since this morning as I was waking up.

Dreams are amazing!

I have anxiety. It is screwing up the make-up of "me." It is throwing things that are true out the window. My bone marrow is a perfect match, but only when I'm calm. Things will come to me that are a perfect match. The stars will align, as soon as I calm down.

I am my sister who needs the transplant. I am my other sister who is silly, and happy, and playful who I don't want to put through any pain. I am "me" who is just a little out of balance.

All I need is to do is focus on colors, and how they flow through my body, and pull the people that I love in close and secure. I have to give myself what I want, and do things for myself, just the way I like them, because these are things that I perfer.

And when I do, all the pieces of me will realign. Things outside of me will begin lining up again. The path won't seem so long and far away. And my family, my loved ones, and my messageners will follow right behind. They will be pulled by the light. And we will all thrive!

This was my dream. There were very few sounds. A lot of emotion, and oh so many visuals! And lots of things that shone the color gold.

That was the dream.

This is the message that comes with it. The one for all of us:

Dream a little dream of me

Dreams are for you. They are gifts. They are your way of reestablishing your footing. Don't laugh at them or mock them. They serve a purpose.

When you dream try to understand who you are in the dream.

Who is the focal point? Who's body are you in? That is usually you in your current emotional state. Then look at the people around you, those are representations of you as well. Are you being shown that you can resuce yourself? Are you being shown that you are beautiful and well liked? Are you being shown that you can do anything that you put your mind to?

These people are all representations of you, either who you truly are, who you used to be, or who you will become. Realize this, and release.

Now, go to bed to night and ask for a sign, make a wish, squeal with delight. Open yourself up to be shown things you need to know, and follow the purple and gold. This will lead you to your highest self. Follow your reds and blues, this will show you how safe you are and how wise you have become. Follow your yellows and oranges. This will show you everything you are capable of. And if you see some indigo, ask your questions and you will recieve your answers. White lights will keep you safe and don't be afraid of the shadows, they need to be looked at and confroted, do it in the safety of your sleep where your angels and guides protect you. Follow your colors.
