Update by Sheldan Nidle for the Spiritual Hierarchy and the Galactic Federation ~ June 18, 2015

Dratzo! Around this world, a transformation of unprecedented proportions is taking place. The Anunnaki’s minions are being pushed from power in both the world’s governments and its financial system. This amazing process is being preceded by a series of mass arrests and the sudden resignations of key figures in the global banking system. This is being done to correct a process, which has over the last two decades left this world’s financial system in shambles. Those individuals who have immensely profited from a gross series of illegalities are shortly to pay handsomely for their attempt to permanently put your world in an immense power grab that began in earnest with the sudden departure of their former overlords, the Anunnaki. These formerly dark lords had decided en masse to join the Light and be a positive part of the new alliance forged by the declarations of the Anchara continuum to create a new galactic peace. This enabled the Light, at last, to produce a coalition and carry out the ancient prophecies of ArchAngel Michael.

   This heavenly alliance is aided here on Gaia by the forces of our large fleet, which is staffed by a group of Beings dedicated to making it possible to produce a realm that can free surface humanity. This group initially received a great setback when the American cabal struck suddenly in your Gregorian year of 2001. DEW explosions and an all-consuming fire destroyed the twin towers of lower Manhattan. This audacious event temporarily caused a setback for those who were ready to formally declare NESARA. This legislation was to make possible new governance that was to drive the dark from power. Nevertheless, the wars and a dark plot to take over the globe’s monetary system ultimately failed and the Light’s coalition started to come together and arrange a way to terminate the powers so illegally grabbed by the American cabal. We now stand on the verge of the success of a “quiet revolution” that is making possible a long overdue currency readjustment. These new financial systems are to drive out the dark cabal, swiftly bring this globe an end to debt slavery and produce a worldwide prosperity.

   This set of legal procedures has brought Gaia’s society to the brink of a new worldwide directive. A majority of smaller governments and the international legal system is quickly isolating the de facto American governance. This is bringing to an end the long reign of the fiat dollar and is to cause the collapse of the US Federal Reserve and a return to the US of a non-imperial foreign policy. These new circumstances are to set the way for global peace and harmony. This is to be created by the global flow of monies for innumerable humanitarian projects. These projects are to allow this world to introduce as well numerous innovations, which are successfully to provide the devices to solve the worldwide need for water, power, infrastructures and new alternative medical devices. These projects are as well to provide a means to end poverty and bring this realm a grace-filled prosperity. It is this global harmony that is to be the background for our formal arrival. This is when you are to meet with your many mentors.

   Our arrival is to coincide with the numerous messages to be delivered to you by your Ascended Masters. In addition, you are to learn of the many Agarthans who now dwell among you. They are to let you know whom they are and to provide a series of messages that are to tell you about the wonders of Inner Earth. After these incredible watershed events, you are to have a much better understanding of your true origins and history, which in reality dates back to the settling of Lemuria over 900,000 years ago. These facts are to be the precursor of things you are to learn from your mentors. We wish you to discover more about what the Atlanteans did and how this is to be corrected by the Agarthans and by us. Thus, you have much to learn and absorb. You are as well to move away from money and toward a society based on abundance and your inner set of responsibilities. These beliefs are to return you to full consciousness and a complete reunion with your spiritual and space families. It is as well to put you back on the path to fulfilling your truly grand destiny!

   Namaste! We are your Ascended Masters! At present, the world is going through a blessed transformation! Those who have long spread their unique form of darkness are coming to the end of their rope. Long ago, Heaven decreed that this extended night of the Soul was to come to an end as you began to enter the influences of the Gregorian 21st century. At this time, as promised, the forces of Heaven have started strategies, which are very shortly to produce a new world filled with peace and prosperity. We Ascended Masters can now start to see various portents in the sky and water. These sacred signs are pointing the way to this new world. We graciously thank Heaven for deliverance, which is to fully restore to you the relationship given to us by Heaven to watch over and carefully guide your path to full consciousness. Our next series of appointed tasks include giving you a great series of global lessons. These lessons are to be part of what is to make you aware of whom you really are.

   As you grow in consciousness, you readily become much more aware of your relationship to the spiritual. This connection is one that gives you sustenance as it does us. Look upon this growing blessedness as a sign that the great suffering you had to endure is being transformed. These physical and at times, life threatening realities are something we can now begin to alleviate. Thus, we Ascended Masters can use our abilities to bring you merciful energies to transform this deep, dark realm. Heaven provides us now with certain spiritual elements to assure the success of those who have sided with the Light. The days of the dark cabal are numbered. A new world is being born. Those who know where to look can see how those who seek a way from this darkness are winning and those who have long run this realm are failing. Look inside and truly feel this!

   These are indeed interesting times. This world has evolved so that extreme levels of worldwide oppression and slavery are slowly going away. Hence, we can see how our blessings and those of each and every one of you is taking effect more swiftly and more clearly. Those who have opposed these changes can at last see how their powers are quickly fading. The time draws nearer for your spiritual forces to be able to manifest and openly use our energies to help our allies to succeed in their efforts. Heaven is even increasing the appearance of Angels on the Earth plane. We have had increased reports of these Angels aiding our accomplishments. The rise of Spirit is yet another portent of how the Light is transforming this realm for the better. The moments are upon us for the long prophesied triumph of the Light upon the Earth plane.

   Today, we continued with our weekly message. Be ready and able to inform your neighbors about the great events as they take place. Our messages give insights on what is happening around you. Use these to inform others and know that the time for prosperity is very, very near! Know, dear Ones, that the countless Supply and never-ending Prosperity of Heaven are indeed yours! So Be It! Selamat Gajun! Selamat Ja! (Sirian for Be One! and Be in Joy!)

DL Zeta – Creating New Realities Based On The Frequency Of Love – 19 July 2014


dlzeta

Yes, are ALL definitely in a time of transition now. I’m sure all of us have weird aches and pains from receiving lots of energy, as well as unending questions about your future, my future, and the future of our world! When when our current way of life as we know it end?(If it isn’t already!) What will life look like for us in the future? Chaos reigns!

From my spiritual readings and investigation, I feel we are in a time of vibrational change where each of us has the ability to have a direct impact on how our future(s) will evolve! As more and more of us mentally exit from the cabal-controlled matrix by turning out thoughts away from fear and begin to practice the presence of LOVE in our lives, the turnaround for all the details in our lives that are soooo chaotic right now will become faster and smoother…even though the geopolitical world continues to go down the drain. (As well it should!)

DL Zeta has written an article that was quite helpful for me to read with many good suggestions on how to handle this “time of spiritual transition” that results in many, many physical manifestations of chaotic behaviour. You see, folks, it really IS the spiritual stuff that manifests in the physical world and NOW is the time to get your heart straight…not your head!

Please read on and learn suggestions for how to manifest the world you want to live in! It’s all right here. As always, read, think about it, and…

Enjoy!

Self-love, forgiveness and a healthy dose of patience are essential during times of accelerated change. As our awareness expands, we see ourselves more clearly than ever before. Front and center are any past tendencies toward avoidance and scarcity thinking. Any way in which we have given into thought viruses and their fear-based world view now comes onto the radar screen of our awareness. Anything we have created from fear-based intentions begins to disintegrate and fall away.

This transition phase may seem a harsh passage for some but the energies of this period are helping us extricate ourselves from the tendrils of thought viruses and gain the spiritual freedom that allows us to find more solid footing in the new time. Although this past year has been intense and exhausting at times, it has also offered transformative moments that brought us face to face with our shadow, providing opportunities to accept and reintegrate her. As we integrate light and dark we are able to move forward with a sense of wholeness and self-awareness that allows us to create conscious realities infused with the light of our heart center for the highest good of ourselves and others.

In the past, there was a tendency to create from our ego/mind which automatically programmed polarity into all our creations. Polarized creations cannot sustain the energy of love and wholeness and will always leave us struggling in lower-vibrational timelines.

Consciously creating realities allows us to step free of the cycle of struggle and suffering. There is no need to struggle and suffer. If your life feels more of a struggle than a blessing, you have not fully freed yourself from the enslaving influence of thought viruses. These fear-based thought forms are free-floating and keep us tethered to realities that drain our life force energy and leave us feeling empty and unfulfilled.

Raise your Vibrational Frequency to Navigate Times of Change

The best way to navigate times of change is to love and nurture ourselves and purify our intentions. Self-love is especially important. Make sure you’re taking care of your body; get lots of rest during this time. Make time each day to exercise and spend time in nature. Raise your vibrational frequency with green foods to alkalinize your physical system and make time each day to sit in meditation and silence. If you feel under pressure – if you’re feeling pushed to the max by the energies – go within and ask for guidance and healing insights. Ask the universe to bring what you need and make sure you open to receive it. Now is the time to reach for love and healing and allow it to flow into your life. Open to receive love and see it flowing to all the parts of yourself that have been starved for love. Anytime you feel isolated and alone, give to others the love and understanding you’re seeking and you will find all that you need.

Purifying intentions is also important. Examine your intentions to make sure you’re seeking the highest and best for yourself and others. If you’re creating from old, fear-based intentions of scarcity and avoidance, this will not serve you well.

Whatever it is you’re seeking from the universe, examine your intentions to make sure they are coming from a place of love instead of ego and fear-based desires. Transform intentions by allowing yourself to see how what you’re asking for benefits yourself and all others. For instance, if you’re seeking to heal and improve your life, see how being healthy and whole will allow you to become a brighter light for all others.

Fear-Based Scenarios are falling by the Wayside

Anything in your life that has been operating on autopilot will come under pressure during this time. Relationships and careers may end. Any situation you entered from a place of fear will fall by the wayside. Accepting this spiritual understanding will provide an underpinning for the new life you will build. Whatever we create from fear-based intentions will forever be colored by the intentions with which they were created. If you entered a relationship because you fear more than anything else being alone, that relationship will always carry the energy and experience of fear and sooner or later you will be more alone than ever before. If you remained in a career that didn’t feed your soul because you were afraid more than anything of experiencing a lack of security, sooner or later that career will end and you will exist in a state of scarcity more so than in the past.

If people and situations are leaving your life, ask yourself if these relationships and situations were created from a place of love or a place of fear. If they were created from a place of fear, release them and move forward to create your new life from a place of love.

Allow Yourself to Exist in the Void

Do not rush out and seek to fill the sudden void in your life but instead, learn to exist within the void while focusing on self-love and healing. When you’re strong within yourself and able to exist on the frequency of love, it will be time to create anew.

Love is the highest vibration in the universe. Whenever fearful scenarios dance onto the movie screen of your mind, surround them with the healing light of love and feel a shift take place inside you. When you create from a place of love, everything you create carries you deeper into the heart of love. When you create from fear, everything you create carries you deeper into fear-based realities. When you allow yourself to exist in a place of love, you always have all you need and plenty left over to share with others. Thought viruses cannot get their hooks into you.

Activating New and More Spiritually-Aligned Timelines

When you’re ready to create again, ask for a vision of potential timeline threads to be downloaded into your consciousness. When you have a clear vision of the timeline that resonates most strongly, you are ready to begin energizing it with your focus and attention.

If your conscious mind resists receiving divine assistance, ask for love and healing to be downloaded in your dream states. When your conscious mind is asleep your subconscious remains awake and is able to act on your intentions. At night just before falling asleep, set your intentions to receive in dream states the love and healing you need.

Choosing and Aligning with a New Timeline

Many reality threads exist as potentials within your life hologram. When you perceive a new potential, it’s a real timeline that already exists energetically. As you begin tuning into this reality thread, you merge the energies of your present moment with it. When the timing is right and sufficient resonance is reached, you will be transported to this reality thread.

Daily go into your meditative space and allow yourself to tune into this new timeline, each time filling in a few more details of what your life is like there and all the opportunities waiting there for you. Feel the emotions and energy of this timeline. Refrain from judging where you are now and where you have been. These have helped you become who you are now and who you are becoming.

PLANET IN TRANSITION


Animalsandearth

Ah! Another really great article that describes the earth as her population struggles in this time of great change, that is…change for you, for me, the earth’s weather, our financial picture, and… radical political change!

Celia Fenn goes into some detail describing changes on our plant and reminds us of  the best way to deal with change? Ask your spiritual guides for help!  Your spiritual guides are unique for you and thus understand and are aware of your needs…so ask away! This is also a crucial time to recognise the beauty, richness, and diversity of life on our planet as we experience the spiritual changes taking place on our world.  At this time of change, it is inevitable that we will live with one foot in each world, so to speak, but we should be working to ensure that we move more and more towards a world of harmony and balance, and that we make these choices.”

Curios to read more? I hope so, so as always, please read, digest, and…

Enjoy!

Our Planet is in transition. We are in the middle of a process that is changing all life on Earth! Of course we know this, we have talked about it and hoped for it, but now we are living the Reality. It is not easy, but there are solutions and ways of dealing with the changes to facilitate a graceful and easy personal transition. The purpose of this series of articles will be to suggest ways of moving with the Transition in order to make life meaningful and rich, even in the crucible of change.

In the last few weeks I have really noticed these changes. First…the weather and the crazy weather patterns. There is no doubt that unusual weather patters are asserting themselves everywhere on the Earth. Then, we have all become aware of the economic hardship on the Earth as “austerity” and bank fraud take more and more money from the working people and give it to the rich who are becoming obscenely richer and richer by the day. Our Earth seems to be locked into an Economic system that just sucks up resources and wealth leaving the majority with nothing.

In our emotional and spiritual life we may have also become numb and cognitive disonance is setting in. We are told that everything is wonderful, yet plainly it is not, and at this time there are two wars going on where civilian populations are being bombed and shelled by military, in plain view, and nothing is being said in media. We are focussed on our own little sphere, on ourselves and our personal happiness, and we have forgotten how to be part of a community. In the past, a community was a small entity, it was “local” and you knew the people in your community. Now community is Global, and we may feel exhausted and alienated by trying to fit ourselves into some sense of community that includes our own well being and that of others. But in the Fifth Dimension we are all inter-connected and so any definition of community includes all of us together.

Then, we daily face issues with regard to food, health and living space as the population increases and resources are used at an ever faster rate. We seem to be caught up in a consumer “race”, working and earning in order to consume ever more and more, just to stay alive. It is easy to either become despondant or to just close out what you can’t cope with.

 

But, we are not alone in this transformation, we have Angelic and Spirit helpers who have guided us to this point, and are now willing to help us as we take the first steps in the Conscious Creation of something new. But it will be our Creation and will be based on the choices that we make.

 

In reality, if we look at our Planet right now, we have become caught up in a Money Economy that sees Nature and the Planet as Resources to be consumed and used in the creation of “wealth”. This wealth is measured in monetary terms in regards to how much can be held by an individual as personal resources and consumption. In this view of our Earth, we are simply exisiting on a dead world, consuming until all is consumed and then hopefully we will go somewhere else and continue with this endless consuming.

The Earth was never designed to function this way. In the original Blueprint the Earth was a Sacred and Self-Sustaining entity. The Planet was designed to support life in an endless cycle of life, death and renewal. In the originl blueprint, humans were simply a part of the Planetary ecosystem, and they were designed to find their sense of joy and well being in supporting and being supported by Nature.

I guess in our culture we call this the “Garden of Eden” or “Paradise”, where everything functions in balance and harmony. But then we left the garden in favor of greed and power and consumption and wealth. And now we have chaos as the Earth responds to this pressure. The Planet has moved to the Fifth Dimension where the inter-connection of all things is the key aspect of life. We know that we cannot live without taking into account the lives of all beings on our Planet, for if the Planet dies then so do we.

At the Fifth Dimension we have to raise our consciousness and perception and start to understand what it means to live in a Planetary Community and to be connected. It is to understand that all life is a part of us and that what happens on the Planet happens to us. There is no escape….only the ability to interact with Nature and to Create and Weave something new into this Transitional Space.

A Life that is Sacred

In a world where human life and nature have become cheap, it seems starnge to suggest that what is needed is a return to the acceptance of Life as Sacred and part of the Sacred River of All Life.

The Ancients knew and understood that Life was a gift and that it was magical. They understood that the Planet was a living being and that all beings on the Earth were joined in a common destiny shaped by Nature herself. They connected with the Elementals and with the Spirirts and they tried to live a life in balance with nature. They created communities and celebrated the Rites of Passage and the Sacred Ceremonies of Life.

Their lives were Rich, even if they were not “wealthy” in material terms.

In order to return that “richness” to our lives we need to disentangle ourselves from the need to seek wealth and consume, and return to the way of life that honors the Sacred in All Life.

This is not easy to achieve. Quite recently I enrolled for a course with a well known American Professor who was offering a course on a Sustainable future for the Earth. This course was presented withon the framework of the Consumer Economy model, and suggested that the only way to ensure a “sustainable” future was to achieve “more”, more economic growth, more people, more corporations, banks and financial power. It seemed insane to me that the so called answer to the problem was more of the problem, but these people are “inside” their own box. When asked about the pollution and destruction of habitat, the eminent professor ensured us that it was possible to “uncouple” these effects from future growth by having “cleaner” industry and manufacturing. Of course, people like this don’t really seem to mind the destruction of the Earth as they believe by then they will simply get into their spaceships and buzz off to another planet to continue consuming.

I don’t know about you, but I kind of like this Earth and would like to see our small blue planet becoming the Star of Light that she is meant to be, together will all who live on her.

For this reason, I travelled recently to Lake Baikal in Siberia to work with a Family of Light group to reconnect with the original purpose for Earth and with the power of the Shamanic tradition. Lake Baikal is the largest fresh water body on the Earth. It is a pristine and clear environment where the Elementals are still empowered and active according to the original blueprint. It is also one of the seed points for Shamanic tradition.

Shamanism is a view of the World that sees the Sacred and Spirit in all things. We can learn from the past as we move into the future. We need to learn form our past how to perceive the Sacred, to listen to Nature and to work with Nature to create a rich and balanced life as a Planetary Community. In the coming months I will be writing more about how we can make these connections in our everyday lives and how we can assist the Planet in her transition back into the original blueprint and then to evolve forward as a Planetary Community.

A Life that is Rich

When we begin to understand that all life is Sacred, we begin to see life in a different way. We begin to see the colors and the patterns of life. That is because we are not having all our attention taken up by the relentless need to earn and consume, we have time to notice the great symphony of life and our place within it.

We can begin by connecting with the Sacred Circle of Life. We are Galactic Shamans walking in the Fields of Dreams, and we are here to create our Dreams. We are also here to share in the Common Dream of Life and Creation, and to appreciate the Grand Creation of the Planet and all her beings. When we approach life and the planet from a perspective of wonder and gratitude and appreciation, we begin to see things that we would not see otherwise.

And we begin to appreciate our place on the Earth and our part in this Great Transition.

We may also begin to feel that we ned to “walk our talk” and begin to see how we can change our lives to align with the incoming energies of the new. These new energies will take us back to the original blueprint and then onwards to a Planet in Harmony and Balance. But we must take those steps towards harmony and balance, and look at the ways in which our lives are still connected to the outgoing system of consumerism. At this time of change, it is inevitable that we will live with one foot in each world, so to speak, but we should be working to ensure that we move more and more towards a world of harmony and balance, and that we make these choices.

It is up to us. This is what we are here for. We need to make the life choices that will align us with an Earth Future that is rich and harmonious and supports All Life.

Thought for the Day : Today I will make Choices that support Life on Earth……..Today I will be aware of the Richness of Life…..Today I will be aware that all life is Sacred!

 

 

SaLuSa 27 June 2014

Oh goodie! I’m at Subway again this evening (the staff here is very generous!), and see a post by Mike Quincey who channels my favorite Sirian…SaLuSa. This post is loving, as usual, but contains some hints for me pertaining to Earth’s future? I can’t quite sort these out after just one fast reading of this piece, but it seems we humans are up for quite a ride in the near future on Planet Earth! SaLuSa also speaks quite a bit about the spiritual transition we call death. He closes by stating…”while you are still here on Earth”. Wonder what that means?

No one knows what our future holds here on this planet, however I am not worried about my future! My belief is whatever changes happen are all buffered by LOVE! This emotion is the “key” to this, and every other Universe. We are all constantly surrounded by love…we have been trained on this planet NOT to see it, believe it, or use it! This is the focus of our existence on Earth…to learn to know LOVE!

Oh dear, I’m on that soapbox again. Please read the latest from SaLuSa and see what you think. As always, please read, digest, and…

Enjoy!

The changes continue to proceed as planned, and will bring about the anticipated changes that will bring you freedom from the activities of the dark Ones. Their power and control carries less weight and those who work for the Light are gaining more confidence as each day passes. So much good work is taking place and as it continues to spread, the dark Ones find that they are having less and less influence. It is you the people that carry the responsibility for spreading the Light, but we can assist where you have already made decisions to begin the process of change. Do not worry if at first progress appears to be slow as momentous changes cannot be achieved overnight, and are more likely to be successful when care and attention are given. We oversee your work and at all times will do our best to guide you and ensure your success. More and more souls are awakening to their real selves and seeking more power to achieve their vision of permanent peace upon Earth. It will come and is already affecting decisions being made to prevent any future wars from taking place.

The role of the Lightworker is to be inspired and bring more people to the realization that the future is taking shape, and the voices that have influence are no longer prepared to go along with those who advocate war to solve problems. At long last it is being realized that war is futile and that there are no winners in the sense that all who are involved suffer loss of one kind or another. When you look back you will realize that using war to achieve your aims is often short lived, and at last there is an understanding that peaceful negotiation is the only way to solve differences. As you will find out in due course, wars are often contrived to set one against another and neither benefit as a result. As time has passed more and more people have tired of being used to settle differences, and now see that there are other ways which are far more acceptable. You are currently seeing the result of religious prejudice fuel the differences between some nations, and we wish we could get the message to them that you are all One. There is only One God of Absolute Love for all souls regardless of their colour or beliefs. However, there will come a time when it will be accepted that you are One Race, with the same destiny and eternally loved by the One God of All.

The elusive peace that you seek will first come to individuals who have accepted the Oneness of all Souls, and through them others will also follow. All knowledge is carried within, and those of you who feel particularly intuitive are able to measure the value and truthfulness of any message. There will however still be those who totally rely on others to walk the path with them. For them it is part of their necessary experience and as they become more understanding of the truth of their real selves, they will gain the confidence to travel their own path. Often the changes are the result of many lives whereby they have tested their own beliefs and have moved on where they have been found wanting. As you stand at this time you are represent the totality of your experience, and cannot help but be strongly influenced by it. There are however times when you will incarnate with a stronger attachment to certain beliefs that will give you a specific experience that you need. You are in fact much greater than you presently know, and whilst on Earth you play out each role you have undertaken which can greatly vary from one incarnation to another.

You may have wondered what our beliefs are based upon, and whether we have what you know as organized religion. The simple answer is that we are sufficiently understanding of the truth and the One God, that we live by example and realise that every other soul is either our brother or sister. Therefore our love is extended to all souls, and even those of the darkness are seen as being exactly the same as all others. It must be so as you have all come from the Source of All That Is, and undertaken your experiences so as to bring the truth to others. Where you are now in the lower levels of vibration you cannot become fully ascended and remain in them, so of necessity you only incarnate with a vibration that allows you to experience as chosen. We will also point out that this is why you must respect what other souls have chosen to experience, as it is all of value and will help others to evolve. Some souls have elected to serve on Earth to help others, whilst the majority are traveling their paths as they work their way back to the higher dimensions. There is not as you say a “quick fix” and the only positive way to evolve is through personal experience, although you can also learn from others who have gone before you.

Mother Earth is also taking part in the changes, and these are of a grand scale to prepare for those that will change the very surface of the Earth. Of necessity there will be unavoidable upheaval in some places, but you rest assured that every caution will be taken to avoid loss of life. Some are inevitable but there are also souls that have expressed a desire to leave the Earth. It may sound strange or unlikely that souls would choose to leave in such a way, but release from the physical body is instantaneous. Any trauma associated with such an experience is soon overcome and forgotten. Death as such is painless but is often thought differently and this is usually due to an accompanying illness. Understanding the truth of such an experience as death prevents what is otherwise looked upon by many as a traumatic time in your life. Be assured that as soon as you pass over your loved ones will be there to greet you and make you welcome. Perhaps the most welcome surprise is that you are “whole” again and through the power of thought can also become a young person again, full of health and without any of the problems you may have had whilst on Earth.

I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and have today touched upon life in the higher dimensions, which is far removed from what you have experienced upon Earth. Can you imagine an existence where within certain limitations you can “think” things into existence, therefore money is not needed. That is perhaps the most significant change although as mentioned above, the prospect of permanent good health must be music to the ears of those who have had a life of ill health. You have so much to look forward to so do your best while still on Earth. I leave you with my love and blessings.

Thank you SaLuSa
Mike Quinsey.
