Excerpt from therepublic.com 

WASHINGTON — Sure, $4 trillion sounds like a lot. But it goes fast when your budget stretches from aging highways to medical care to space travel and more.

Here's an agency-by-agency look at how President Barack Obama would spend Americans' money in the 2016 budget year beginning Oct. 1:


HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Up or down? Up 4.3 percent
What's new? Medicare could negotiate prices for cutting-edge drugs.
Highlights:
— The president's proposed health care budget asks Congress to authorize Medicare to negotiate what it pays for high-cost prescription drugs and for biologics, including advanced medications for diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Currently, private insurers bargain on behalf of Medicare beneficiaries. Drug makers have beaten back prior proposals to give Medicare direct pricing power. But the introduction of a $1,000-a-pill hepatitis-C drug last year may have shifted the debate.
— Tobacco taxes would nearly double, to extend health insurance for low-income children. The federal cigarette tax would rise from just under $1.01 per pack to about $1.95 per pack. Taxes on other tobacco products also would go up. That would provide financing to pay for the Children's Health Insurance Program through 2019. The federal-state program serves about 8 million children, and funding technically expires Sept. 30. The tobacco tax hike would take effect in 2016.
— Starting in 2019, the proposal increases Medicare premiums for high-income beneficiaries and adds charges for new enrollees. The charges for new enrollees include a home health copayment, changes to the Part B deductible, and a premium surcharge for seniors who've also purchased a kind of supplemental insurance whose generous benefits are seen as encouraging overuse of Medicare services.
— There's full funding for ongoing implementation of Obama's health care law.
—The plan would end the budget sequester's 2 percent cut in Medicare payments to service providers and repeal another budget formula that otherwise will result in sharply lower payments for doctors. But what one hand gives, the other hand takes away. The budget also calls for Medicare cuts to hospitals, insurers, drug companies and other service providers.
The numbers:
Total spending: $1.1 trillion, including about $1 trillion on benefit programs including Medicare and Medicaid, already required by law.
Spending that needs Congress' annual approval: $80 billion.

NASA
Up or down? Up 2.9 percent
What's new? Not much. Just more money for planned missions.
Highlights:
—The exploration budget — which includes NASA's plans to grab either an asteroid or a chunk of an asteroid and haul it closer to Earth for exploration by astronauts — gets a slight bump in funding. But the details within the overall exploration proposal are key. The Obama plan would put more money into cutting-edge non-rocket space technology; give a 54 percent spending jump to money sent to private firms to develop ships to taxi astronauts to the International Space Station; and cut by nearly 12 percent spending to build the next government big rocket and capsule to carry astronauts. Congress in the past has cut the president's proposed spending on the private firms and technology and boosted the spending on the government big rocket and capsule.
—The president's 0.8 percent proposed increase in NASA science spending is his first proposed jump in that category in four years. It's also the first proposed jump in years in exploring other planets. It includes extra money for a 2020 unmanned Martian rover and continued funding for an eventual robotic mission to Jupiter's moon Europa. But the biggest extra science spending goes to study Earth.
— Obama's budget would cut aeronautics research 12 percent from current spending and slash NASA's educational spending by 25 percent. It also slightly trims the annual spending to build the over-budget multi-billion dollar James Webb Space Telescope, which will eventually replace the Hubble Space Telescope and is scheduled to launch in 2018.
The numbers:
Total spending: $18.5 billion
Spending that needs Congress' annual approval: $18.5 billion

TRANSPORTATION
Up or down? Up 31 percent
What's new? A plan to tackle an estimated $2 trillion in deferred maintenance for the nation's aging infrastructure by boosting highway and transit spending to $478 billion over six years.
Highlights:
— The six-year highway and transit plan would get a one-time $238 billion infusion from the general treasury. Some of the money would be offset by taxing the profits of U.S. companies that haven't been paying taxes on income made overseas. That infusion comes on top of the $35 billion a year that normally comes from gasoline and diesel taxes and other transportation fees.
— The proposal also includes tax incentives to encourage private investment in infrastructure, and an infrastructure investment bank to help finance major transportation projects.
— The new infrastructure investment would be front-loaded. The budget proposes to spend the money over six years and pay for the programs over 10 years.
— The proposal also includes a new Interagency Infrastructure Permitting Improvement Center to coordinate efforts across nearly 20 federal agencies and bureaus to speed up the permitting process. For example, the Coast Guard, Corps of Engineers and Transportation Department are trying to synchronize their reviews of projects such as bridges that cross navigation channels.
The numbers:
Total spending: $94.5 billion, including more than $80 billion already required by law, mostly for highway and transit aid to states and improvement grants to airports.
Spending that needs Congress' annual approval: $14.3 billion.

Star Disappears in a Warp In Space-Time


Time warp created by a pulsar



Excerpt from popsci.com

A star has slipped out of view thanks to the space-time warp it creates as it orbits.

The disappearing star is part of a binary star system called J1906. It's a pulsar, which means it's a rotating neutron star, the result of a massive star collapsing in on itself. Researchers have been studying the young pulsar for five years to determine what kind of companion star was orbiting around it. That is, until recently, when the pulsar vanished.

As a pulsar rotates, it emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation, sort of like light coming from a lighthouse. Scientists use radio telescopes that pick up on the pulses coming from the star. But as scientists watched J1906, the pulsar began to slip off the radar. It seems that as the pulsar spins around its companion star, the mass of the companion star makes it sink into a dip in space-time, so that its radio waves can no longer reach Earth. The concept is called geodetic precession, which, according to NASA, uses Einstein’s theory of relativity to understand how massive objects like the Earth curve the space around them, influencing the local space-time fabric.  

The video above illustrates the sinkhole in space created by the pulsar as it orbits the second star. As the warp increases, the pulsar's axis shifts (demonstrated by the arrows), so its radio pulses no longer aim toward Earth's radio telescopes.

But the pulsar won’t be out of sight for forever. Lead scientist Joeri van Leewuen from the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy estimates the star will come back into sight in less than 160 years.

The team’s findings were released Thursday in the Astrophysical Journal in conjunction with the American Astronomical Society’s 225th meeting.

The New American Dream ~ The Case for Colonizing Mars




Excerpt from Ad Astra

by Robert Zubrin


Mars Is The New World

Among extraterrestrial bodies in our solar system, Mars is singular in that it possesses all the raw materials required to support not only life, but a new branch of human civilization. This uniqueness is illustrated most clearly if we contrast Mars with the Earth's Moon, the most frequently cited alternative location for extraterrestrial human colonization.

In contrast to the Moon, Mars is rich in carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen, all in biologically readily accessible forms such as carbon dioxide gas, nitrogen gas, and water ice and permafrost. Carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen are only present on the Moon in parts per million quantities, much like gold in seawater. Oxygen is abundant on the Moon, but only in tightly bound oxides such as silicon dioxide (SiO2), ferrous oxide (Fe2O3), magnesium oxide (MgO), and aluminum oxide (Al2O3), which require very high energy processes to reduce.

The Moon is also deficient in about half the metals of interest to industrial society (copper, for example), as well as many other elements of interest such as sulfur and phosphorus. Mars has every required element in abundance. Moreover, on Mars, as on Earth, hydrologic and volcanic processes have occurred that are likely to have consolidated various elements into local concentrations of high-grade mineral ore. Indeed, the geologic history of Mars has been compared to that of Africa, with very optimistic inferences as to its mineral wealth implied as a corollary. In contrast, the Moon has had virtually no history of water or volcanic action, with the result that it is basically composed of trash rocks with very little differentiation into ores that represent useful concentrations of anything interesting.

You can generate power on either the Moon or Mars with solar panels, and here the advantages of the Moon's clearer skies and closer proximity to the Sun than Mars roughly balances the disadvantage of large energy storage requirements created by the Moon's 28-day light-dark cycle. But if you wish to manufacture solar panels, so as to create a self-expanding power base, Mars holds an enormous advantage, as only Mars possesses the large supplies of carbon and hydrogen needed to produce the pure silicon required for producing photovoltaic panels and other electronics. In addition, Mars has the potential for wind-generated power while the Moon clearly does not. But both solar and wind offer relatively modest power potential — tens or at most hundreds of kilowatts here or there. To create a vibrant civilization you need a richer power base, and this Mars has both in the short and medium term in the form of its geothermal power resources, which offer potential for large numbers of locally created electricity generating stations in the 10 MW (10,000 kilowatt) class. In the long-term, Mars will enjoy a power-rich economy based upon exploitation of its large domestic resources of deuterium fuel for fusion reactors. Deuterium is five times more common on Mars than it is on Earth, and tens of thousands of times more common on Mars than on the Moon.

But the biggest problem with the Moon, as with all other airless planetary bodies and proposed artificial free-space colonies, is that sunlight is not available in a form useful for growing crops. A single acre of plants on Earth requires four megawatts of sunlight power, a square kilometer needs 1,000 MW. The entire world put together does not produce enough electrical power to illuminate the farms of the state of Rhode Island, that agricultural giant. Growing crops with electrically generated light is just economically hopeless. But you can't use natural sunlight on the Moon or any other airless body in space unless you put walls on the greenhouse thick enough to shield out solar flares, a requirement that enormously increases the expense of creating cropland. Even if you did that, it wouldn't do you any good on the Moon, because plants won't grow in a light/dark cycle lasting 28 days.

But on Mars there is an atmosphere thick enough to protect crops grown on the surface from solar flare. Therefore, thin-walled inflatable plastic greenhouses protected by unpressurized UV-resistant hard-plastic shield domes can be used to rapidly create cropland on the surface. Even without the problems of solar flares and month-long diurnal cycle, such simple greenhouses would be impractical on the Moon as they would create unbearably high temperatures. On Mars, in contrast, the strong greenhouse effect created by such domes would be precisely what is necessary to produce a temperate climate inside. Such domes up to 50 meters in diameter are light enough to be transported from Earth initially, and later on they can be manufactured on Mars out of indigenous materials. Because all the resources to make plastics exist on Mars, networks of such 50- to 100-meter domes could be rapidly manufactured and deployed, opening up large areas of the surface to both shirtsleeve human habitation and agriculture. That's just the beginning, because it will eventually be possible for humans to substantially thicken Mars' atmosphere by forcing the regolith to outgas its contents through a deliberate program of artificially induced global warming. Once that has been accomplished, the habitation domes could be virtually any size, as they would not have to sustain a pressure differential between their interior and exterior. In fact, once that has been done, it will be possible to raise specially bred crops outside the domes.

The point to be made is that unlike colonists on any known extraterrestrial body, Martian colonists will be able to live on the surface, not in tunnels, and move about freely and grow crops in the light of day. Mars is a place where humans can live and multiply to large numbers, supporting themselves with products of every description made out of indigenous materials. Mars is thus a place where an actual civilization, not just a mining or scientific outpost, can be developed. And significantly for interplanetary commerce, Mars and Earth are the only two locations in the solar system where humans will be able to grow crops for export.

Interplanetary Commerce

Mars is the best target for colonization in the solar system because it has by far the greatest potential for self-sufficiency. Nevertheless, even with optimistic extrapolation of robotic manufacturing techniques, Mars will not have the division of labor required to make it fully self-sufficient until its population numbers in the millions. Thus, for decades and perhaps longer, it will be necessary, and forever desirable, for Mars to be able to import specialized manufactured goods from Earth. These goods can be fairly limited in mass, as only small portions (by weight) of even very high-tech goods are actually complex. Nevertheless, these smaller sophisticated items will have to be paid for, and the high costs of Earth-launch and interplanetary transport will greatly increase their price. What can Mars possibly export back to Earth in return?
It is this question that has caused many to incorrectly deem Mars colonization intractable, or at least inferior in prospect to the Moon.

For example, much has been made of the fact that the Moon has indigenous supplies of helium-3, an isotope not found on Earth and which could be of considerable value as a fuel for second generation thermonuclear fusion reactors. Mars has no known helium-3 resources. On the other hand, because of its complex geologic history, Mars may have concentrated mineral ores, with much greater concentrations of precious metal ores readily available than is currently the case on Earth — because the terrestrial ores have been heavily scavenged by humans for the past 5,000 years. If concentrated supplies of metals of equal or greater value than silver (such as germanium, hafnium, lanthanum, cerium, rhenium, samarium, gallium, gadolinium, gold, palladium, iridium, rubidium, platinum, rhodium, europium, and a host of others) were available on Mars, they could potentially be transported back to Earth for a substantial profit. Reusable Mars-surface based single-stage-to-orbit vehicles would haul cargoes to Mars orbit for transportation to Earth via either cheap expendable chemical stages manufactured on Mars or reusable cycling solar or magnetic sail-powered interplanetary spacecraft. The existence of such Martian precious metal ores, however, is still hypothetical.

But there is one commercial resource that is known to exist ubiquitously on Mars in large amount — deuterium. Deuterium, the heavy isotope of hydrogen, occurs as 166 out of every million hydrogen atoms on Earth, but comprises 833 out of every million hydrogen atoms on Mars. Deuterium is the key fuel not only for both first and second generation fusion reactors, but it is also an essential material needed by the nuclear power industry today. Even with cheap power, deuterium is very expensive; its current market value on Earth is about $10,000 per kilogram, roughly fifty times as valuable as silver or 70% as valuable as gold. This is in today's pre-fusion economy. Once fusion reactors go into widespread use deuterium prices will increase. All the in-situ chemical processes required to produce the fuel, oxygen, and plastics necessary to run a Mars settlement require water electrolysis as an intermediate step. As a by product of these operations, millions, perhaps billions, of dollars worth of deuterium will be produced.

Ideas may be another possible export for Martian colonists. Just as the labor shortage prevalent in colonial and nineteenth century America drove the creation of "Yankee ingenuity's" flood of inventions, so the conditions of extreme labor shortage combined with a technological culture that shuns impractical legislative constraints against innovation will tend to drive Martian ingenuity to produce wave after wave of invention in energy production, automation and robotics, biotechnology, and other areas. These inventions, licensed on Earth, could finance Mars even as they revolutionize and advance terrestrial living standards as forcefully as nineteenth century American invention changed Europe and ultimately the rest of the world as well.

Inventions produced as a matter of necessity by a practical intellectual culture stressed by frontier conditions can make Mars rich, but invention and direct export to Earth are not the only ways that Martians will be able to make a fortune. The other route is via trade to the asteroid belt, the band of small, mineral-rich bodies lying between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. There are about 5,000 asteroids known today, of which about 98% are in the "Main Belt" lying between Mars and Jupiter, with an average distance from the Sun of about 2.7 astronomical units, or AU. (The Earth is 1.0 AU from the Sun.) Of the remaining two percent known as the near-Earth asteroids, about 90% orbit closer to Mars than to the Earth. Collectively, these asteroids represent an enormous stockpile of mineral wealth in the form of platinum group and other valuable metals.


Historical Analogies

The primary analogy I wish to draw is that Mars is to the new age of exploration as North America was to the last. The Earth's Moon, close to the metropolitan planet but impoverished in resources, compares to Greenland. Other destinations, such as the Main Belt asteroids, may be rich in potential future exports to Earth but lack the preconditions for the creation of a fully developed indigenous society; these compare to the West Indies. Only Mars has the full set of resources required to develop a native civilization, and only Mars is a viable target for true colonization. Like America in its relationship to Britain and the West Indies, Mars has a positional advantage that will allow it to participate in a useful way to support extractive activities on behalf of Earth in the asteroid belt and elsewhere.

But despite the shortsighted calculations of eighteenth-century European statesmen and financiers, the true value of America never was as a logistical support base for West Indies sugar and spice trade, inland fur trade, or as a potential market for manufactured goods. The true value of America was as the future home for a new branch of human civilization, one that as a combined result of its humanistic antecedents and its frontier conditions was able to develop into the most powerful engine for human progress and economic growth the world had ever seen. The wealth of America was in fact that she could support people, and that the right kind of people chose to go to her. People create wealth. People are wealth and power. Every feature of Frontier American life that acted to create a practical can-do culture of innovating people will apply to Mars a hundred-fold.

Mars is a harsher place than any on Earth. But provided one can survive the regimen, it is the toughest schools that are the best. The Martians shall do well.

Fall Begins Monday: Equinox Myth Debunked


The start of fall in the Northern Hemisphere begins Sept. 22, 2014.
Excert from space.com
By Joe Rao, Space.com Skywatching Columnist 


Sick of long, hot summer days? Well, you're in luck. Astronomically speaking, autumn is about to begin in the north.
On Monday (Sept. 22), at 10:29 p.m. EDT (0229 Sept. 23 GMT) autumn begins astronomically in the Northern Hemisphere. This also marks the start of spring in the southern half of the globe.
This date is called an equinox, from the Latin for "equal night," alluding to the fact that day and night are then of equal length worldwide. But that is not necessarily correct. [Earth's Equinoxes & Solstices Explained (Infographic)] 

Not so equal

Referring to the equinox as being a time of equal day and night is a convenient oversimplification. For one thing, it treats night as simply the time the sun is beneath the horizon, and completely ignores twilight. If the sun were nothing more than a point of light in the sky, and if the Earth lacked an atmosphere, then at the time of an equinox, the sun would indeed spend one half of its path above the horizon and one half below.
But in reality, atmospheric refraction raises the sun's disc by more than its own apparent diameter while it is rising or setting. Thus, when the sun looks like a reddish-orange ball just sitting on the horizon, it's really an optical illusion. It is actually completely below the horizon.
In addition to refraction hastening sunrise and delaying sunset, there is another factor that makes daylight longer than night at an equinox: Sunrise and sunset are defined as the times when the first or last speck of the sun's upper or lower limbs — not the center of the disc — are visible above the horizon.
And this is why if you check your newspaper's almanac or weather page on Monday and look up the times of local sunrise and sunset, you'll notice that the duration of daylight, or the amount of time from sunrise to sunset, still lasts a bit more than 12 hours. 
In New York City, for instance, sunrise is at 6:43 a.m., and sunset comes at 6:54 p.m. So the amount of daylight is not 12 hours, but rather 12 hours and 11 minutes. Not until Sept. 26 are the days and nights truly equal. (On Sept. 26, sunrise is at 6:47 a.m., and sunset is 12 hours later).
At the North Pole, the sun currently is tracing out a 360-degree circle around the entire sky, appearing to skim just above the edge of the horizon. At the moment of this year's autumnal equinox, it should theoretically disappear completely from view, and yet its disc will still be hovering just above the horizon.  Not until 52 hours and 10 minutes later will the last speck of the sun's upper limb finally drop completely out of sight.      
This strong refraction effect also causes the sun's disc to appear oval when it is near the horizon. The amount of refraction increases so rapidly as the sun approaches the horizon that its lower limb is lifted more than the upper one, distorting the sun's disc noticeably.

Not as dark as it seems

Certain astronomical myths die hard. One of these is that the entire Arctic region experiences six months of daylight and six months of darkness. Often, "night" is simply defined by the moment when the sun is beneath the horizon, as if twilight didn't exist. This fallacy is repeated in innumerable geography textbooks, as well as travel articles and guides. 
But twilight illuminates the sky to some extent whenever the sun's upper rim is less than 18 degrees below the horizon. This marks the limit of astronomical twilight, when the sky is indeed totally dark from horizon to horizon.
There are two other types of twilight. Civil (bright) twilight exists when the sun is less than 6 degrees beneath the horizon. It is loosely defined as when most outdoor daytime activities can be continued. Some daily newspapers provide a time when you should turn on your car's headlights. That time usually corresponds to the end of civil twilight.
So, even at the North Pole, while the sun disappears from view for six months beginning Sept. 25, to state that "total darkness" immediately sets in is hardly the case. In fact, civil twilight does not end there until Oct. 8. 
When the sun drops down to 12 degrees below the horizon, it marks the end of nautical twilight, when a sea horizon becomes difficult to discern. In fact, at the end of nautical twilight, most people will regard night as having begun. At the North Pole, nautical twilight does not end until Oct. 25. Finally, astronomical twilight — when the sky indeed becomes completely dark — ends Nov. 13. It then remains perpetually dark until Jan. 29, when the twilight cycles begin anew. So, at the North Pole, the duration of 24-hour darkness lasts almost 11 weeks, not six months.

Space station detector reports more hints of dark matter—or not



New reports of further evidence for dark matter have been greatly exaggerated. Yesterday, researchers working with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), a $2 billion cosmic ray detector attached to the International Space Station, reported their latest data on a supposed excess of high-energy positrons from space. They contended—at least in a press release—that the new results could offer new hints that they’ve detected particles of dark matter, the mysterious stuff whose gravity binds the galaxies. But several cosmic ray physicists say that the AMS data are still perfectly consistent with much more mundane explanations of the excess. And they doubt AMS alone will resolve the issue.
The leader of the AMS team, Nobel laureate Samuel Ting of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, takes care to say that the new results do not prove that AMS has detected dark matter. But he also says the data lend more support to that interpretation than to some others. "The key statement is that we have not found a contradiction with the dark matter explanation," he says.
The controversy centers on AMS's measurement of a key ratio, the number of antimatter positrons to the sum of positrons and electrons. In April 2013, AMS confirmed early reports that as the energy of the particles increased above about 8 gigaelectron Volts (GeV), that ratio, or "positron fraction," increased, even as the individual fluxes of electrons and positrons were falling. That increase in the relative abundance of positrons could signal the presence of dark matter particles. According to many theories, if those particles collide, they would annihilate each other to produce electron-positron pairs. That would alter the balance of electrons and positrons among cosmic rays, as the usual source such as the cloudlike remnants of supernova explosions produce far more electrons than positrons.
However, that interpretation was hardly certain. Even before AMS released its measurement of the ratio, astrophysicists had argued that the excess positrons could potentially emanate from an undetected nearby pulsar. In November 2013, Eli Waxman, a theoretical astrophysicist at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, and colleagues went even further. They argued that the excess positrons could come simply from the interactions of "primary" cosmic rays from supernova remnants with the interstellar medium. If so, then the positrons were just "secondary" rays and nothing to write home about.
However, AMS team researchers see two new features that are consistent with the dark matter interpretation, they reported online yesterday in Physical Review Letters. First, the AMS team now sees that after rising with energy, the positron fraction seems to level off and may begin to fall at an energy of 275 GeV, as would be expected if the excess were produced by colliding dark matter particles, as the original particles' mass would put an upper limit on the energy of the positron they spawned. AMS researchers say the leveling off would be consistent with a dark matter particle with a mass of 1 teraelectron volt (TeV). (Thanks to Albert Einstein’s famous equivalence of mass and energy, the two can be measured in the same units.)
Second, the AMS team measured the spectra of electrons and positrons individually. They found that the spectra have different shapes as energy increases. "It's really surprising that the electrons and positrons are so different," Ting says. And, he argues, the difference suggests that the positrons cannot be secondary cosmic rays produced by primary cosmic ray electrons, as such production should lead to similar spectra.
But some cosmic ray physicists aren't convinced. For example, in AMS's graph of the electron fraction, the error bars at the highest energies are large because the high-energy particles are so rare. And those uncertainties make it unclear whether the positron fraction really starts to drop, says Stéphane Coutu, a cosmic ray physicist at Pennsylvania State University, University Park. And even if the positron fraction does fall at energies higher than AMS reported, that wouldn't prove the positrons come from dark matter annihilations, Coutu says. Such a "cutoff" could easily arise in positrons from a pulsar, he says, if the spatial region in which the pulsar accelerates particles is of limited size. All told, the new results are "probably consistent with anything," Coutu says.
Similarly, Waxman questions Ting's claim that the new data suggest the positrons aren't simply secondary cosmic rays. If that were the case, then the electrons and positrons would be coming from different places and there would be no reason to expect their spectra to be similar, Waxman says. Moreover, he notes, AMS's measurement of the positron fraction seems to level out just at the limit that he and colleagues predicted would be the maximum achievable through secondary cosmic rays. So, in fact, the new data support the interpretation that the positrons are simply secondary cosmic rays, he says. "To me this is a very strong indication that we are seeing cosmic ray interactions.”
Will the argument ever end? AMS is scheduled to take data for 10 more years, which should enable scientists to whittle down the uncertainties and extend their reach toward higher energies, Ting says. "I think we should be able to reach 1 TeV with good statistics," he says, and that should be enough to eventually settle the dispute. But Gregory Tarlé, an astrophysicist at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, says, "I don't think that's a legitimate claim." Higher energy cosmic rays arrive at such a low rate that even quadrupling the data set would leave large statistical uncertainties, he says. So, Tarlé suspects, years from now the AMS results will likely look about as ambiguous they do now.

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles
http://eraofpeace.org

There are a lot of challenging things taking place on the planet at this time, but on July 17th and 18th, 2010, hundreds of thousands, and most likely millions, of people around the world participated in various activities of Light that were dedicated to cocreating a template for Unity Consciousness.  The Company of Heaven has assured us that our unified efforts were God Victorious, and now there is a template for Unity Conscious pulsating in, through, and around every particle and wave of Life on this planet.
So where do we go from here? Well, our responsibility now is to focus on the Light and to continually empower our thoughts, words, feelings, and actions with Divine Love and Reverence for ALL Life. Today I would like to share some information with you that is being given to us by the Beings of Light in the Realms of Illumined Truth. The intent of this information is to help us see the bigger picture, so we can navigate through these wondrous but very confusing times.
As the Light of God increases on Earth, it pushes everything that conflicts with that Light to the surface to be healed and transmuted into its original perfection. We have just experienced a tremendous influx of Light through the global activities involving the cocreation of the template for Unity Consciousness. Now everything that conflicts with Unity Consciousness is being pushed to the surface to be healed. This includes the obsolete fear-based patterns of separation and duality.
This phenomenon can make it appear as though the accelerated influx of God’s Light is making things worse, but nothing could be further from the Truth. That is an illusion. The Beings of Light have given us the following information because it is very important that we clearly understand what happens when we invoke the Light of God. They do not want us to become discouraged. They want us to "keep on keeping on," even in the face of apparent adversity.
Once again, it is vital that we remember we are all One. There is no separation. In order for us to move forward in the Light, we must first transmute the human miscreations we created in the past. That means that anything that conflicts with the Light of God must come to the surface to be healed and transmuted back into its original perfection. This is what is meant by the statement "All that is hidden must now be revealed."
Regardless of how deplorable our human miscreations are, the energy that comprises those gross mutations was originally pure Light from the Heart of God. You and I and every other person responsible for creating those miscreations must transmute that energy back into pure Light. This is true for every single human miscreation. Anything that is not reflecting the harmony and balance of the patterns of perfection in the Causal Body of God is a human miscreation. This includes poverty, disease, hatred, prejudice, corruption, greed, violence, war, religious fanaticism, abuse of power, and every other physical manifestation that is less than the perfection of Heaven on Earth.
When we invoke the Light of God through our prayers, meditations, invocations, decrees, affirmations, or any other way, our Father-Mother God respond and the Light of God increases on Earth. This frequency of God’s Infinite Perfection floods the planet and enters the core of purity in every atomic and subatomic particle and wave of Life.
Regardless of how dark or contaminated our human miscreations are, the energy within the core of that miscreation still pulsates with its original Divine Potential. That is true for every person, place, condition, or thing existing on this planet. For instance, in the core of every expression of poverty still pulsates the Divine Potential for God’s Infinite Abundance. Within the core of every facet of disease still pulsates the Divine Potential of vibrant health. Within every manifestation of war is the Divine Potential of peace. Within every electron of hatred is the Divine Potential of love. This is true for people as well. No matter how far a person has fallen or how depraved or degenerate he or she may seem, that person still has the full Divine Potential of a Beloved Child of God blazing in their Heart Flame. 
The reason it sometimes appears as though things are getting worse after we invoke the Light of God is because of what happens when the Light enters the core of purity. When the Light of God enters the core of purity, it activates the original Divine Potential that is still encoded within that particle of Life. Everything that conflicts with that potential is then pushed to the surface to be healed and transmuted back into Light. This is a necessary part of the process that has to be successfully accomplished in order to clear the way for the tangible manifestation of the Divine Potential.
What this means very practically is that when we invoke prosperity, the Light of God enters the core of purity in every electron of energy in our lives that conflicts with prosperity. This Light activates the Divine Potential in that energy, which is God’s Infinite Abundance. Then the vibration of God’s Abundance pushes to the surface every thought, word, action, or feeling that is responsible for manifesting our poverty. As the patterns that created our poverty surface to be healed, it often looks like things are getting worse, but that is never the case.
This illusion is caused by the fact that we can easily see the patterns associated with our poverty that are being pushed to the surface to be healed. What we cannot see as easily, is the powerful Light of God that is pushing those distorted patterns to the surface in order to clear the way for our prosperity. With the limited perception of our fearful human egos, we end up focusing our attention on the surfacing patterns of poverty instead of the patterns for God’s Infinite Abundance.
Now with the influx of Unity Consciousness that is flooding the Earth, the patterns that conflict with that wondrous Light are being pushed to the surface. Those are the obsolete patterns of our fear-based separation and duality. We must be cognizant of this fact and pay close attention to what we are empowering with our thoughts, words, feelings, and actions.
It is critical for us to remember that we create our Earthly experiences through our thoughts and feelings. If we focus on fear, separation, and duality, that is what we empower and sustain in our lives. It is just that simple. Through our lack of understanding, we have created a vicious circle for ourselves. That is why these "end times" have been referred to in many teachings as "The time of screaming and the gnashing of teeth."
It is time for us to learn how to transmute the surfacing negativity in a more effective way, while staying focused on the positive things we are invoking. The Company of Heaven has given us guidance and wonderful tools that will help us to do just that. One of those tools is the Violet Flame of God’s Infinite Perfection.
In the Earth’s natural orbital process known as the Precession of the Equinox, we have moved into the forcefield of Aquarius. This constellation resonates with the Violet Flame of God’s Infinite Perfection. This will be the predominant activity of Light on the Earth for the next 2,000 years.
The Violet Flame is comprised of the Sapphire Blue Ray of our Father God’s Divine Will, Power and Authority, and the Crystalline Pink Ray of our Mother God’s Transfiguring Divine Love, Adoration and Reverence for Life. This Sacred Fire reflects the perfect balance of our Father-Mother God.
The Violet Flame is a tool more powerful than our finite minds can conceive. When used consistently, it will transmute every electron of precious life energy we have ever misqualified at any time, in any existence, both known and unknown. It works as an atomic accelerator. It raises the frequency of all discordant energy into vibrations of healing and harmony. When we invoke the Violet Flame and empower it with feelings of forgiveness for our own mistakes and those of others, it works miracles.  
You do not have to fully comprehend every facet of the Violet Flame in order to use it effectively. All you have to do is ask your I AM Presence to take command, and then invoke this wondrous gift from the Heart of our Father-Mother God.
Let’s join together in Unity Consciousness and invoke the Violet Flame of God’s Infinite Perfection on behalf of ourselves and every, man, woman, and child on Earth. I have stated this activity of Light in the first person, so that you will experience this individually and personally, but KNOW that you are also serving as a surrogate on behalf of every person evolving on this planet

Your Multidimensional Operating System

STEP 21
YOUR MULTIDIMENSIONAL OPERATING SYSTEM

Welcome back to our Arcturian Corridor. We wish to take a moment to review our process in Step 20. * Then, we will assist you in the use of the new, Multidimensional Operating System that you downloaded in that Step.

In order for the light of your Multidimensional SELF to observe it’s great light in a physical form, it had to split that light into “the observer” and “that which was to be observed.” Your conscious, intelligent, unconditional loving SELF, who resonates to the ONE, then needed to create a Divine Ideal for the form it wished to observe in its holographic projection of life in the lower dimensions. Consequently, your SELF created a thought-form of a human body, which became the object off which the first beam of light would reflect. **

The second beam of light was then infused with unconditional love and multidimensional consciousness so that once it reflected off the mirror and intermingled with the first beam (human form) on the holographic plate, the purity of the original light (Multidimensional SELF) would be maintained.

The light was projected onto the holographic plate of planet Earth. At this point, your SELF needed to observe you so that the swirling circles of energy of your conscious light could become form. In this manner, your form was held and the illusion of your physical reality was maintained.

This process is repeated again and again for every third, fourth dimensional reality in which your Soul/SELF chooses the experience of being in third dimensional form. When you gain Mastery within the form of even one of these realities, you can consciously return to your fifth dimensional Lightbody and travel inter-dimensionally with the power of your multidimensional consciousness and unconditional love.


BEING A MASTER

Your Multidimensional Operating System, which was downloaded in Step 20, has the primary goal of guiding you into Mastery of your present reality. As a Master of Energy you can fully embrace your Multidimensional SELF who will return you to your true, multidimensional reality.

The youtube below will add insight to this statement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g79UaJ8s8K4


Brief Summary of Youtube:
Your many multidimensional realities are extensive fractals and subjective fundamental patterns expressing your holographic rays. Since you already exist in many dimensions, your being is timeless.  Every element of focus you have ever had, still exists.

The illusion of time does not dissipate energy; it only focuses it. All that you have experienced in all of your sojourns into form still exists in the NOW of the ONE. Once you can perceive reality from this perspective, your ideal of time changes from something that was past, present or future into the arena of experience. As a Multidimensional Being, you move into the consciousness of the perceiver that moves from one experience to another, rather than from one time to another.

A Master can move through experiences without being bound by the “River of Time,” for a Master lives within all the moments in-between. As you regain this innate Mastery of your Multidimensional SELF, there is nothing that you cannot experience again and again, for you are operating within the no-time of the Multidimensional Universe.


INTEGRATIVE CONSCIOUSNESS

Your Multidimensional Operating System also allows you access to a new form of consciousness, which is as delicate as an Angel’s wings and as strong as a mountain. This state of consciousness intermingles who you are on your transmuting planet with the true SELF to whom you are returning. Your multidimensional consciousness releases any emotional “hooks” to the third dimension that may interfere with your process of allowing all that is leaving to be replaced by all that is becoming. This new state of consciousness stems from your Junk DNA, which is constantly being activated by your Multidimensional Operating System. Your new consciousness assists you in expanding into the fifth dimension while remaining grounded on Earth.

For the sake of conversation, we will call this consciousness “Integrative Consciousness,” for it allows you to integrate into your awareness all that you want to remain in your life while you enter the marvelous adventures of New Earth. In other words, your Integrative Consciousness allows you to easily release that which is now complete, so that you can fully embrace that which was formerly beyond your perceptions. This release assists you in integrating the “past” and the “future” into a cohesive reality of NOW.

Your Integrative Consciousness also helps you to remember any pertinent information/experiences from your myriad past lives and parallel realities, so that you can intermingle them into your new reality. In this manner, nothing necessary for your return to SELF will be forgotten or lost. In fact, Integrative Consciousness allows you to exerience no sense of loss at all during your shift into your true, Multidimensional SELF, as it assures you that you retain all your primary lessons, experiences, loves and creations as you become New Earth.

Just as the information now stored in a device you can hold in your hand once had to be stored in computers so large that they filled entire rooms, your Integrative Consciousness can gather and store all the pertinent data/experiences from all the realities that you have ever manifested in ALL your third and fourth dimensional realities.

You do not constantly peruse the information that is stored in your hand-held computer devise, but you know it is available should you need it. In the same manner, you will not constantly be in conscious contact with all the information in your Integrative Consciousness, but you can access it whenever it is needed. The energy of Pluto in Capricorn, which will be in transit until 2024, will facilitate your ability to release that which is over while you keep that which allows your rebirth.

Your Integrative Consciousness also assists you in integrating your Personal, Collective, Planetary, Galactic and Cosmic Consciousness into the ONE awareness of the many versions of your SELF. In other words:

Your Integrative Consciousness perceives you as an individual
Within the collective of all humanity

Within the collective of planet Earth

Within the collective of your Solar System

Within the collective of your Galaxy
Within the collective of the Universe.

All of these collective realities exist within the Great Collective of Cosmic Consciousness:

Hence, your Individual Consciousness 
is surrounded by your Collective Consciousness, 
Which is surrounded by your Planetary Consciousness, 
Which is surrounded by your Solar Consciousness, 
Which is surrounded by your Galactic consciousness, 
Which is surrounded by your Cosmic Consciousness.

Most importantly, your Integrative Consciousness merges your spark of individual love with the unconditional of love of the ONE. This merging of humans’, conditional love into spiritual, unconditional love allows you to hold all of your myriad realities within your awareness through the great magnetic force of unconditional love. Unconditional love is the glue that binds all reality into a cohesive ONE. In fact, it is unconditional love that holds the myriad expressions of SELF within your Integrative Consciousness.

SEEING WITHIN

Allow your imagination to turn your vision inward to the inside of your earth vessel. Think of your earth vessel as you would think of any vessel, an object that YOU enter so that you, consciousness/light, can move around in an environment. For example, your home/vessel stores your body/vessel, which stores your consciousness/light. You are NOT your house or your earth vessel, for these objects are used to store the YOU that is consciousness and light.

Take a moment to look inside the vessel of your body to see YOU, consciousness/light, just as you would look inside your house. You know the house that provides protection for your earth vessel very intimately. However, how much do you know about your earth vessel that provides a third dimensional form for your consciousness/light? To better know the inside of your body:

Imagine that your are standing at the doorway to your heart...
Closely examine the inner vision of your heart...
Closely examine the doorway into your heart...
Just as you would enter the door to your house, enter the door to your heart...
As you enter this door, see a long stairway that leads up to your High Heart...

As you walk up these stairs, the glow of your Three Fold Flame guides you...
See your ATMA, your Three Fold Flame, and step into it...
FEEL and Merge with your innate Wisdom, Power and Love...
As you do so, you are instantly transported into your Third Eye...

Within your Third Eye, you turn inward to see the electrical circuitry of your brain’s synapses firing with your every perception and thought...
Look up towards your Crown to see the Opened Pineal Stargate pulling in multidimensional light and unconditional love...

Move to the center of your Computer Brain where the Kundalini Earth energy that has risen into your Third Eye intersects with the Flow of the ONE through your Pineal Stargate...
YOU are now the programmer of your computer/brain...
With the great force of your consciousness/light, turn ALL systems of your Multidimensional Operating System ON...


THE BIRTH CANAL

Turning on your Multidimensional Operating System places you in the birth canal of your new life. Because you are in the birthing process of your new life, you may be experiencing great fatigue. You may feel so close and yet so far. Your new synapses tell you that you are different, but your remaining illusions tell you that life appears to be the same, so just go back to “business as usual.”  This conflict between the two messages builds doubt, which increases your fatigue. 

You are so tired, so very, very tired. But what are you tired of? First, you are tired of the 3D Game. You have gone through it so many lifetimes and done, redone and done again the same dramas.  Second, you are tired of waiting for the shift to happen. You want it to happen NOW. It is then that your New Operating System kicks in to remind you that it is only your belief that limits you to the third dimension. Your Multidimensional Operation System reminds you that all you need to change is your consciousness.

When you raise your consciousness, you move up the vertical spectrum of possible realities toward the resonance of the fifth dimension. Each time a multidimensional circuit is turned ON and a third dimensional synapse turns OFF, your expanded perceptions are activated and you can perceive the higher dimensional expressions of your reality that have previously eluded you. When you can consciously perceive these higher frequencies of reality, you can place your attention and intention on them. Then, it will be much easier to release the limitations and hard work of your third dimensional life.

Now that you know the truth of your magnificent, multidimensional nature, you can no longer accept the restriction put upon you by an outdated system of beliefs that focuses on struggle and fear. You rebel against those limitations and are finding the courage to create the reality of your dreams. You still feel the onslaught of fear emanating from the Collective Consciousness of those who wish to control others.

However, you can also feel the unconditional love of your SELF, as well the widening stream of unconditional love that is also Flowing from the ONE. It is this Flow of unconditional love that assists you in raising your consciousness, beliefs, expectations and perceptions into the reality of fifth dimensional Earth. With this beacon of hope and love shinning in your aura, you are beginning to find time to be with those who are near to your heart and to do what you love.

As illusions crumble and false prophecies are uncovered, you see the slow collapse of old third dimensional systems. You are entering such a deep confidence in your SELF that you are coming out of the “hiding” that was necessary before you awoke. You no longer fear what others think of you, nor do you need their approval or praise. You are an “Island unto your SELF” in that all your needs are met from the vertical realties that fill you with unconditional love.

Meanwhile, the horizontal reality of the third dimension remains as a place in which you serve and assist others to awaken and become their SELF, just as you have. At night your dreams are filled with life in the fifth dimension, and you awaken with messages to assist you in your daily life. On the other hand, you may also use your dreamtime to clear out issues from childhood, past lives or alternate realities that beg to be cleared from your aura. In this case, you may awake tired, anxious or depressed.

It is then that you go into meditation, take a walk, or talk to a loved one to re-find your Center. YOU are the Center, not only of your physical body, but also the Center of your physical reality. You are creating this reality with your every thought and emotion. You are the Master of your destiny, as well as the destiny that you share with every human and non-human member of Gaia’s Earth. In fact, YOU are Earth, for you are Gaia, the Consciousness of your planet.

When you begin your day, you find your Center and follow its Flow into the highest expression of your Being. Because you trust your SELF, you calmly relax into the movement of your breath and step into that Flow of the ONE to receive the guidance that it gives you.

Feel that guidance now...

Absorb it into your every cell and atom of your being, into our aura and into your daily life.  Share this guidance through the emanation of your presence as you slowly go public with the gifts of your expanding reality. You remember again and again throughout your day to call upon the unconditional love of the ONE to release all fear and attract love, peace and joy.  Allow your fatigue to remind you of that which you are tired of doing and of whom you are tired of being.  Respect that message and follow the Flow of the love on which it travels to find the Path to the Life You Love to Live.

The long, third dimensional winter of separation and limitation is fading into a memory, and spring is beginning to bloom. That which is complete is leaving your life to make space for the re-birth of whom you truly ARE. Release that which no longer functions in your life and allow Pluto to pull it from the structure of Capricorn to prune the flowers that have completed their life cycle. In this manner, you make a space in which your new life can be born. YOU are Awakening now, and the long night is ending.  Before you a glorious adventure is dawning.

THE BIRTH

Gradually, the first two sprouts sneak above the damp fertile soil. Lovingly, the light of the sun caresses them, urging them to open wide to their new reality. Too long, the young plant has hidden beneath the earth, afraid to face an unknown world of light. The darkness of its earthen reality was familiar and comfortable.

Yet the two small arms have peered up from the safety of the only world they have known to venture into the light. “What will become of them?” whisper the roots who cling to the familiar. “We may never know,” they all agree. “Nonetheless, together, we will hold firm to create a base for the part of us that has ventured into an unknown land.”

To their surprise, the roots did know because they felt the flow of light sent down to them by their brave pioneer. Gradually, this added light fed the roots to make them bigger, deeper, and stronger. Mystically, they could feel the movement of their leaves as they grew taller and more plentiful each day.

Together, they rejoiced at the birth of their first flower. How did they know of this birth? The leaves told them. Yes, the land above was no longer unknown to the roots, for they constantly communed with the rest of their SELF.

Slowly, the roots expanded into new underground territory to intermingle with other roots. They also formed a center root that dug deep into the core of Mother Earth. Just as the auxiliary roots intertwined with other roots to create a network just below the surface, the center roots communed with each other via the fertile soil that connected them.

One day, the roots discovered that they were no longer just a plant. “We have Become ONE. We are now a garden,” their plants joyfully communed to them. As the roots communed with the other roots in their network, they further learned that each system of roots supported a different plant, which bloomed different flowers at different times. But blissfully enough, each root, each leaf, each plant, and each flower was ONE within the garden that they had become.

The roots were proud of their plants, but so wished that they could see the garden of which they were a part. “Go inside your self,” whispered the Sun. “Travel up your own roots into your stem, out past the leaves, and up into your flower.”

“Our flower?” they said. “We are not flowers. We are just roots.”

“Ahh,” cooed the Sun. “I come down into you, the roots, so that the flowers can bloom. So please, come up to me so that I may thank you for your service.”

“Our service?” the roots asked in one voice.

“Yes, dear roots, you are the parents of your plant. You first conceived it while you where just a seed. You gestated the seed through the long, cold winter, and in spring, you were the ones who formed a support system when your flower was just a seedling.

“You pulled the water and minerals from the soil to nurture your plant, and you empowered it with your strong foundation. You are the reason there is a garden, for you were able to release a part of you, your seedling, so that it could go off into an unknown land. You neither judged nor reprimanded it. In fact, you supported what you did not understand.

“You see dear roots, you are the inner life that allows your flower to bloom in the glory of my Sun. Without you, there would be no plant, no flower and no garden. Because you were courageous enough to experience what you did not understand, you will receive the vision of my light!”

LIVING MULTIPLE REALITIES


More and more, with or without your conscious knowing, you are lapsing into your alternate, multidimensional realities. Because you are new to your Multidimensional Operating System, you think that you have “forgotten” some THING, or “spaced out.” In fact, you are in the act of remembering some ONE, your SELF.This expanding remembrance of your SELF makes it increasingly difficult for you to be limited to the reality of your earth vessel.

You are like a child with a new toy. You want to play with this toy and forget about the work your mother has told you to do. Fortunately, once you adapt and become proficient with your Multidimensional Operating System, you will be able to easily perform your 3D tasks, while you simultaneously soar through your new realities. Then, you will be watching your physical self from your Multidimensional SELF. From this higher perspective, you will understand that you are not leaving your third dimensional reality yet. Instead, you are expanding your reality to embrace the higher dimensions while still holding your physical form.

Eventually, your consciousness will resonate to such a high frequency, that you will “let go” of your clay vessel to fully embrace your true form of light. At that point, you will concentrate more on your new, multidimensional reality and less on the limitations of your old, physical reality. This transition can be as simple as gradually falling asleep and slowly waking. However, when you wake up in your new life, it will be your true reality and the illusions of your physical life will be experienced as a long dream.

You will not awake alone, for Gaia, as well as all Her inhabitants who have supported the creation of Her new form, shall be with you. You will also rejoin your Galactic Family, for your entire Galaxy is now ready to return to its higher expression. Remember, our One, that from the perspective of your awakening, fifth dimensional SELF, you are able to maintain constant contact and interaction with all your realities without being limited to only one. You are now endeavoring to connect with your fifth dimensional SELF, but your fifth dimensional SELF has always been in connection with you.

When you take on a third dimensional form, the speck of your Being that chooses to enter that form still exists in unity with your Multidimensional SELF. Then, once the YOU in the third dimension awakens, you can experience both your third and fifth dimensional realities simultaneously. Then again, the perception of multidimensional worlds while still in your earth vessel requires that you download and integrate the multidimensional consciousness of your Multidimensional Operating System before you can experience multiple realities.

A way in which you already live in multiple realities is when you are reading a good book.  When you are reading a book that you deeply enjoy, it travels with you in your mind like another reality. You may be at work or doing dishes and momentarily shift your primary attention to the story of the book. At the same time, you are still performing your physical task.

Instead of reliving a part of your book, you may be replaying a video game in your mind. In reality, your third dimensional experience is the “video game” that your Multidimensional SELF logged-into. Unfortunately, when you forgot that you were “in a game” you began to think that the video game was real and the vague memory of your SELF was just your imagination. Of course, your imagination IS real, for imagination is fifth dimensional thought.

Much like you can log-out of a video game, while the game still continues without your primary attention, you can log-out of the 3D Game and log-in to the fifth dimension, while the 3D Game continues to run. In fact, that is what you do when you “space out,” sleep, meditate or fall into your imagination. You already live in multiple realities. You just label it as “using your imagination” rather than “following your fifth dimensional thought patterns into alternate realities.”

Just as all the television channels are always running all the time, but you can only watch one channel, all your realities are running all the time, but you can only watch one. Actually, you can “surf” from one channel to another. Or, maybe, you have multiple televisions or a wide screen television where more than one channel can play at once. The large, screen television that can display multiple channels functions like your new Multidimensional Operating System. Within this Operating System, you can watch and participate in numerous stations/realities at the same time.

BEING MULTIDIMENSIONAL

Just as your physical self can talk to a friend, drive a car, listen to the radio and drink water at the same time with no difficulty, your fifth dimensional SELF can consciously participate in multiple realities within the ONE moment of the NOW. It is the ability to break free of the illusion of time and space that allows you to participate in multiple realities. Just as you can drive, eat, talk and listen within a single third dimensional moment, you can exist in multiple realities within the fifth dimensional NOW. To have an experience of what we are saying, we are you to:

Create an image of yourself reading this message in your present reality then...
ADD the image of walking in a fifth dimensional forest in another reality...
Now ADD the image of navigating your Starship in another reality...

Allow your imagination to hold three images at once:
Reading this message...
Walking in a fifth dimensional forest...
Navigating your Starship...

To the extent that you are still using your Third Dimensional Operating system, these three pictures are in different areas of your mind. That is fine for this part of the exercise.

Now, “press play” to allow these pictures to come alive with movement, experiences, thoughts and emotions...

Perhaps you are experiencing some anxiety, doubt or excitement as you simultaneously hold three different “videos” in your mind. You are likely using your mind as one of those televisions that presents three stations on the same screen. Therefore, first, view them one at a time.

Tune into the experience, emotions and thoughts of reading this message...

Tune into the experience, emotions, thoughts and perceptions of walking in a fifth dimensional forest...

Tune into the experience, emotions, thoughts and perceptions of navigating your Starship...
  
We ask you now to activate your Multidimensional Operating System, just as you did in the previous exercise...

Feel how all of these “pictures” are moving independently of each other, yet all of them live as ONE in your consciousness...

Now take your primary consciousness out of “reading this article” and place it into “Walking in the fifth dimensional forest”...

Imagine that you are walking in a 5D forest—while you are navigating your Starship in another reality—while reading this message in yet another reality...

Now, put your primary consciousness into “navigating your Starship”—while you also walk in the fifth dimensional forest—while you are reading this message in the third dimension...

At first, this exercise may “hurt your brain,” until you become accustomed to perceiving more than one reality at a time. Fortunately, within your Multidimensional Operating System, your expanded perceptions are gradually coming online. Your expanded perceptions greatly facilitate your ability to intimately experience the inter-dimensional realities that are wafting through your ever-expanding reality.

In fact, YOU are the creator of your many multidimensional realities. Unfortunately, many of you have forgotten that fact. Therefore, the first adjustment you will make with the power of your Multidimensional Operating System is to turn OFF the DNA that limits you to third dimensional perceptions and turn ON the DNA that activates your multidimensional perceptions.


From your “Programmer Position” in the center of your computer/brain, make sure that the multidimensional Junk DNA that stores your expanded perceptions is turned ON and the limitations of your 3% third dimensional DNA is turned OFF. You may wish to start this exercise with the inner vision of your heart, just as you did before. In this manner, you can assure that you enter the place in your consciousness, as well as in your computer/brain, where YOU are the Programmer of your reality.

You can choose to believe this experience is “an interesting exercise,” or you can choose to believe that you have the ability to control your own DNA. All of you on Gaia at this “time” have graduated into a higher level of the 3D Game of Separation and Limitation. However, you know that only if you can remember that you are a holographic projection of your Multidimensional SELF. It was YOU who chose to send a spark of your total light to be unified on the holographic plate of planet Earth for the experience of assisting in Gaia’s planetary ascension.

BECOMING A CHANNEL

Click here to listen to the message Blessings on Your Awakening
http://www.multidimensions.com/players/BlessingsAwakening.mp3
(Long version with special information for being a channel.)

Because you have downloaded and turned ON your Multidimensional Operating System, you can begin to remember and maintain the state of consciousness in which  “you are the programmer” of your 3D experience.  See your earth vessel from the viewpoint of your Multidimensional SELF, so that you can view the two main programming Centers of your earth vessel, your High Heart and Opened Third Eye.

Your Opened Third Eye uses the multidimensional light to program and run your computer/brain; whereas your High Heart uses the great force of unconditional love to run, maintain and heal your earth vessel. These control centers function as ONE unit to receive the multidimensional light and unconditional love that guides you back to your true, Multidimensional SELF.

Connect with your High Heart to receive the unconditional love from your Multidimensional SELF...
Allow this love to protect you and give you courage to open the Stargate Portal of your pineal gland...

Open your inter-dimensional Portal of your Crown to receive a multidimensional light message from HOME...
Display this message on the inner mind screen of your Third Eye...

Integrate the words/pictures of your message with your unconditional love and integrative consciousness, so that you can receive and understand the highest frequency components of the messages that you receive. In this manner, you can learn to BE your Multidimensional Lightbody SELF in your daily life.

Even if your message is as simple as “Have a Nice Day,” allow your unconditional love to fully embrace the many ways in which you could have a nice day. From this simple message, you can begin to open a channel of ongoing communication between your grounded, human/self and your celestial, Multidimensional/SELF.
