At first glance of Lauren's title today, I figured "Hey, that's a great idea!" Rather than inviting friends over to bring you more stuff you may or may not like, why not have them over to a sort of garage sale where they can acquire stuff ...

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.

Dear Ones,
What a day! Many of you are probably feeling as if your being has been scrambled. And so it has. This full moon is merely an indicator of what will be shifting within your society in the next few weeks.
Does it not appear as if everyone is angry? Is there not a great deal of shame and blame floating very close to the surface? Many of you are confused. We continue to discuss the joys of the New Age and yet you feel as if you are surrounded with the pain of the Old Age. Do not fret – all is well.
Please remember that we access a different perspective than you currently allow yourself to experience. You limit your view to the narrow stream of your current life rather than the totality of your being.
Many of you are quite interested in time travel – but even time travel is a small microcosm of the totality that is you. Let us explain. The totality that is you has had many experiences on earth, as well as other realms. If you believe and thereby expect to only access the existences you have had on earth, you will not be able to “see” your lives between your earth existences or your lives in other locals. You will be limited to what you expect to see and/or experience.
There are so many other exciting arenas to explore. You are fully capable of exploring your lives on earth in whatever historical perspective you wish, your lives between your earth experiences and your lives in other arenas. Such exploration is yet another tool in your new tool kit.
As is true of the tools we have mentioned previously, your time travel tool has always been available – just much more difficult for you to access. A bit like the difference between a canvas airplane of the early 1900s and a jet. Both are capable of transporting you through the air, but the jet is so much faster and more comfortable.
Now what does time travel (we prefer the term, Experience Travel) have to do with the anger and rage displayed throughout your current world via the media? Everything and nothing. From a larger perspective, the small squabbles you are learning about are mere blips on the screen of life.
If you remember, many predicted that the end of the world you now know it – the introduction of the New Age – would occur in a cataclysm of some sort – perhaps a nuclear war or a similar catastrophe. Instead, this New Age transition is occurring without a world cataclysm, war or revolution. In comparison to those predictions, this transition is and has been extremely gentle. There is, of course, vocal dissent and civil unrest in various parts of the world, but certainly not to extent that was predicted even a few years ago.
If you would allow yourself to Experience Travel to a view above, or perhaps a better term, through your current perspective, you would note how easy this New Age transition has been and will continue to be. The naysayers will fade and those who wish to explore the New Age will move to the forefront. “Life is Good” is an extremely appropriate term for this transition.
Some of you may experience a more dramatic transition than others. That is your choice. But again, we will tell you that such pain is not necessary. Allow yourself to see the positive aspects of any and all situations and you will soon find that your life is truly joyous.
But then, as you have learned from several channels including this one, if you continue to “beat the drum” of pain and anger that is what you will draw to you – not to the earth or the Universe, but to you. The difference between you believing that “life is painful and then you die” prior to the New Age and after the New Age is that it was possible to achieve a world filled with pain interspersed with joy prior to the New Age. Now it is only possible for you to achieve that vision for yourself.
The world and the Universe have moved on – in large part due to your subconscious efforts. It is now your choice whether you wish to follow the joy of the New Age or to remain behind in the pain of the Old Age.
It is also your choice to tap into your Experience Travel capabilities. Or to worry about this or that issue. Or if you wish to experience a personal life of joy, while others on earth are allowing themselves to continue their life of pain.
Your new tool kit is no different from your computer commands. If you wish to correct your spelling errors in a computer project, you merely have to select spell check – but you are certainly not forced to. And so it is with your tool kit.
As we continue these blogs, we will provide more explicit tool kit operating instructions. For the time being, we are merely pointing out the features of your new tool kit – not the least of which is your ability to easily implement your Experience Travel skills.
Use your new tool kit or not. Experience Travel or not. Live in joy or not. The New Age is about choice, as well as an expansion of your being. All of which or none of which is required for you to continue living on earth.
But to not believe or access some of the multitude of skills that you now have readily available is similar to those people who discounted the value of flight with the statement, “If God meant for me to fly, he would have given me wings.” So be it. Amen.

"The best time to look will be between the time of moonset [between 1 and 2 a.m., local time] and dawn, and the best way to observe the show is to recline comfortably, facing anywhere from north to east and gazing nearly overhead," Cook said. news.nationalgeographic.com
Published April 19, 2010
For the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, nature will be setting off some fireworks, with the peak of the annual Lyrid meteor shower arriving on April 22.
While the Lyrids might not be cosmic celebrities like August's showy Perseids, the April meteor shower has been known to offer up a surprise or two for sky-watchers
(Related: "Comet 'Shower' Killed Ice Age Mammals?")
"Although the Lyrids have been observed since 687 B.C., the behavior of the shower from year to year is unpredictable," said Anthony Cook, an astronomer for the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles.
"An average Lyrid shower produces between 10 and 20 meteors per hour, but occasionally these rates increase to 90 per hour," Cook said. "In 1803 the shower produced about a thousand meteors per hour"—just enough to qualify as a meteor storm.
How to See the Lyrid Meteors
This year, Lyrid meteor activity began picking up on April 16, and the shower will run until April 25.
The Earth Day peak will actually come in the early morning hours of April 22, after the first quarter moon has sunk below the horizon, leaving dark skies. (Test your lunar smarts with our moon quiz.)
"The best time to look will be between the time of moonset [between 1 and 2 a.m., local time] and dawn, and the best way to observe the show is to recline comfortably, facing anywhere from north to east and gazing nearly overhead," Cook said.
"The best location is a region far from urban light pollution with a fairly open horizon."
Lyrids to Be a Sprinkle or a Storm?
The Lyrids' "shooting stars" will appear to radiate from around the brilliant star Vega in the shower's namesake constellation Lyra.
Vega now shines nearly overhead in the predawn hours for stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere skies, the Lyrids will produce just a sprinkling of meteors.
As with other annual meteor showers, the Lyrids are thought to be caused by debris left over from a passing comet. When Earth passes through the trail of particles—most no bigger than grains of sand—the tiny rocks burn up in our atmosphere, creating bright streaks.
(Related: "'Major,' Green Meteor Lights Midwest Night Sky," with video.)
The Lyrids have been linked to the periodic comet Thatcher, which has an orbit that's skewed nearly perpendicular to the plane of the solar system, the tabletop-like plane along which the planets orbit.
The dearth of planets along the comet's path means that its debris trail stays relatively stable, which is most likely why the Lyrids have been a reliable meteor shower for centuries.
But sometimes Earth passes through a particularly dense clump of cometary leftovers, and that's when meteor rates skyrocket.
So are sky-watchers this year in for a sprinkle or a storm?
"The only way to know what the Lyrids have in store for you," Cook said, "is to go outside and observe them."
This channel showed the group at their best with a very
direct channel to the citizens of planet Earth. Normally I would call
this one "Earth Shattering" but I think we will find other words now,
especially after this message. The spoke of the recent earthquakes and
how it has shifted the earth to a new rotational axis that has changed
our experience of time and gravitational pull. They said several
interesting items that they said our sciences now agree with and
several that they don't yet know. It will take us years to uncover all
the events that took place in that one series of adjustments.
They spoke of what was ahead for humanity and directly ahead for our
economies and especially the US. At one point they warned the leaders
of planet Earth of what is ahead. They likened this a wave of energy
coming in rearranging everything in its path. They talked of the
sexual energy entering the planet as they described three years ago.
This is why everywhere you look in the news there is some sexual
incident being uncovered.
They also said the
economies of the world will take another hit soon as the US will soon
experience great difficulty unless it balances. At one point the group
spoke directly to the leaders of the planet warning of the severe
effects of polarity thinking. They challenged each of us to search for
these beliefs within ourselves and all begin to look for ways we are
alike instead of separate. The ride is less scary if we all hold hands.
Big hugs. Have a great month!
Steve
Greetings from Home
We visit with you this day to tell you about what is taking place on planet Earth. First, let us share with you, dear ones, that you have already changed the outcome of planet Earth. You have already shifted the highest potential, for humanity is no longer limited by what you used to call your highest potential. There are opportunities now to find passion in ways that you only dreamt were possible. Each and every one of you has come with a part of Home that you need here to put this grand puzzle together in order to create Home on Earth. Some of you think you do not have anything. What do you have to say that has not already been said by someone else? Every one of you has a very unique piece of that puzzle and all of those puzzles are needed right now. Yet, it is becoming difficult. Not only are you transitioning and evolving incredibly fast, but so is the Earth.
Most of the changes that have already happened have set into motion some things which will affect all of you over the next 100-200 years. So, let us explain a little bit of what is ahead in a couple of different areas and how this will affect each of you personally. Let us go back a few weeks and talk about the Earthquake in Chile which was,one of the largest earthquakes you have had in this millennium. Not only has it changed the face of Earth, but it has shifted more than you know and has actually confirmed a few predictions previously made. One of these shifts is that the atomic clocks on Earth will soon need constant adjustment. Your atomic clock is no longer accurate on planet Earth.
Inner Earth is Growing
The inner core of Earth is what you call metal. It is actually an iron core. The next level, which is actually a very good part of the Earth, is what you would call molten or liquid metal. This liquid metal has always allowed the inside of the Earth to travel at a different rate of speed than the outside of the planet. Although the inside of the Earth is actually spinning faster than the outside, recently it has sped up and is moving even faster. It could even be said that the inside of the Earth is pulling the rest of the Earth into its orbit. This has been known for a very long time. However, what we wish to tell you is that this energy is now changing and has been speeding up. Your sciences do not agree with this yet, but we will tell you what they do agree with and what they do not. They have not found this to be true, but we are telling you that it is absolutely true.
The other thing that is happening is that this ball of molten metal has been growing. As it reaches certain levels it hits pockets of emptiness, or pockets that have formed through volcanic activity. This is what you are starting to see as the eruption of the Ring of Fire. There is much more to come. You are going to see activity in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. You will also see further activity in the Atlantic Ocean, but it will be less at this point. These are triggers and things we spoke about so very long ago. Now they are happening and your world is changing on a regular basis.
New Human Templates
Understand, dear ones, you are at a similar point where the dinosaurs disappeared from planet Earth but that is not going to happen to humans. Two things are happening: the Earth is changing to house a higher vibration not only of herself, but of humans, animals and every other part of it. The entire game is changing to begin a new game at a higher vibration. Secondly, your physical re-wire—your own physical bodies—are changing so that you can carry more of your own light and your higher self. Only a very small portion of your higher self is housed within the body for the temporary duration that you call a lifetime. Literally, only a small piece of it does…it is easy for you to see that you have one higher self and 11 aspects on Earth. So, 11 parts of your higher self goes into each one. However, the vast majority of your higher self does not fit into any of these aspects, including all of them together. That is about to change. You are now going to be able to carry more light than ever before in your physical body without having to go Home and without having to rid the Earth of the human race.
You will make this evolution while you are standing, walking, sleeping, playing, and loving on planet Earth. That has never been done before. That is the reason that all eyes in the universe are upon planet Earth right now. The six parental races that helped you form these physical bodies that you hold right now are back again to help. The interesting part is that they are fighting over who can help the most. But they are all here to work with you, because you are no longer limited by the same 500 human templates that you had in the beginning. You are no longer limited to that, which is part of the reason that your physical bodies are changing and your emotional bodies are growing.
Does Anyone Really Know What Time It Is?
We wish to tell you that the Earth has changed its relationship to time. Your relationship to time will also change, and what you do not know about it at this point is that you have control over how that changes. If you do not take charge in any way, the default answer is that time will shrink. Time has a natural tendency to shrink anyway. It is the nature of humanity because everything is relative. If you go back to when you were one day old, that one day is 100% of your lifetime. If you go back to the time when you were one year old that one day is only a very small percentage of your lifetime, so it has a tendency to naturally shrink as you age. Now we tell you that even the atomic clocks are noticing the difference. Big changes have happened as a result of the shift in Chile. Number 1: The Earth has changed axis; it is not on the same axis it was before. It has already shifted and your scientists are scattering frantically trying to figure out by how much and how we can measure it accurately, as they have noticed a major difference. It has been reported all over the world because the sun used to enter a window at a certain time of day and it now it is on a different schedule. Those times have changed throughout the entire world. Your scientists are looking for answers to describe what has taken place, but let us give you the short answer so that you can see what is happening.
We told you the molten part of the Earth has become larger inside the Earth and that part has been growing over the last few hundred years—especially over the last 60 years. As that has grown, the Earth itself is not as solid as you thought it was. The earthquakes in Chile and the earthquakes around the Ring of Fire, including the one in Haiti, have caused a shift of the planet not only on the axis. It has actually elongated the planet a little bit, almost as if was squished in the middle and got a little bit longer. Again, this is a point your scientists do not agree on, but we tell you that the process of making the planet just the slightest bit longer has also made it smaller around the middle. This means it rotates faster which is changing your relationship to time as we speak.
We encourage all of you to play with this concept you call time. Go back to some of your basics, for you have all studied ways of controlling time and learning how to project time into the future. You know that so much of it is held within your own belief systems. You believe it is accurate and you must live by this. The atomic clocks will not work for much longer, because they will need so much adjustment for what is ahead on planet Earth and some of the changes that are taking place. Embrace them. Do not fear these changes, for your reaction is actually what the earth needs to settle. Your reaction is the stability that you offer as Lightworkers not only with the Earth, but with other people around you.
A New “Wobble’’
These changes and the ones to come may create great
fear throughout many different places. You are the ones that can hold
that energy, the ones that can help to make it very positive evolution.
Let us tell you this as well…because of the planet changing her axis
slightly, what happened is that there is now a wobble. There has
always been a wobble in the Earth’s rotation. It is nothing secret. It
has always been known, but now that the wobble has changed and this
can create a circumstance for you that we wish to tell you about.
As we mentioned before, you have these up and down periods that you
are all going to be experiencing. But now it has become much stronger
than we ever thought possible. Some of the physical reactions to this
new wobble will be experienced as emotion. At times it will be
uplifting, such as joy or exhilaration, while other times you may feel
depressed as if you cannot seem to get out of bed. Those are simply
normal cycles, because you are a part of the Earth and she is a part of
you. As she is going through these changes they mimic and mirror
themselves in your bodies. This is part of how you can help to ground
this change and center this energy with her. Know that has affected you
and find the ways it can affect you positively.
Riding the Wave
There are points on this planet where you can now launch yourself. This has been done before through using astronomy and astrology to help find the perfect time to start your new business or a new project. You would always know the rotation of the sun around different planets, their alignment and how that could or could not support you. Now in addition to that, there is an entire wave of energy that slides the rug beneath your feet and shifts it in such a way as to send a wave down its length. The pull of that carpet will create high and low spots, as well as spots where you can launch yourself very effectively or be wrapped up in it and shut down. Once you are aware of these highs and lows you can learn the timing needed to make the highest use of it. We ask you to be very aware of how you are feeling, where that passion is and how you get this in the outside world, as well as your effect on other people around you. That will tell you whether you are doing your work or not. Position yourself so that instead of being wrapped up in this carpet as the big wave comes through, and instead of being overwhelmed and having to protect yourself from it, you are in just the right spot to be launched by it. That is why you are here.
You are the ones that carried the secrets from Home—from Lemuria and Atlantis—in hopes that humanity would ever reach a stage where you could come back and do it again. You are here. You made it. Each one of you has this opportunity right now to step into this energy and to position yourself at that launching point. We will tell you, dear ones, it takes tremendous courage to do that for you can see the energy moving. Some of you might want to put your little toe in, but you are not so sure about jumping into the water completely. We will come along and push you, if you only try to put your toe in. It is time. Each and every one of you came with specific timings that you wanted to be here at this exact time, because this is the time of the big shift. This is the when it is said that the shift is really going to hit the fan.
It is the time where you are going to be finding things changing in every place that you have been talking about for centuries on this planet. You find yourself in a position to put yourself on that curve. This is on a personal basis for each and every one of you, for if you try to use the normal standards that you have used for your own evolution they are not going to work the same way. In other words, you cannot count the vibrational lines of your evolution the way it used to be done. During these times we ask you to be kind and understanding of each other, as tempers can flare easily.
Economics of Earth
We also wish to speak of economics on planet Earth. You have many systems in place that have allowed you to exchange energy and to exchange money. You have a system called the stock market. We are so fascinated by that, for is so interesting to us that you have built an entire system based on the perception of perception of perception. We would never have dreamt to do that. It took humans to invent this entire process. Because of that, you have a perception of perception which is what your economies have been based on. You have gone through one of these ripples, dear ones, and it has affected the entire planet. You have had an economic event on planet Earth and it is one of these ripples that have gone through. We tell you, there are more of these ripples coming. In fact, there is a big one that is liable to come very soon. We cannot tell you when it is, because you are the ones that have the perception that determines when it is going to be. We also tell you that it does not need to be negative, for it can be a positive event. That is entirely up to you, but what we do tell you is that change is imminent in this area.
You had opportunities as this wave came through which took the air out of the balloon. All of a sudden this overinflated balloon shrank down to practically nothing. Now you are perceiving an economic recovery. You are seeing it because you perceive it. That is the way your system works—because you want to perceive it. That is exactly what is happening, yet the underlying fundamentals that had a chance to change during that explosion did not actually change. For that reason, until you see some fundamental changes in the way you do business on planet Earth you will experience more difficulties in these areas.
We also wish to reach into an area that the Keeper loves to stay away from, and we are going to talk about politics for just a moment. You are seeing a very interesting thing happening. It is occurring all over the world, but you can see it in the United States very clearly. It has happened since the incredible pull into polarity. As the new field of triality starts to come in and you have three positions from which to view things instead of just two. You have a new perception to see everything from. Yet it is difficult to truly grasp that new perception, to trust it, to understand what it means and how it works. We tell you that many of you are going through your a time where your own perception, ideas, and relationships are going to change, but that also happens on an economic level throughout the world. One thing you have all learned from this recent economic stretch is that all of your economies are connected. That is incredibly beautiful, dear ones, because it really means that you can no longer have a world war. Who would you be bombing? Yourselves? That is perfect because the blending together is what will change all of this. There are many high level officials that are now looking for this to happen, but the changes on planet Earth are occurring very radically and very quickly. Not only does this include the changes in the planet, but the changes in you, as humans, are also happening very rapidly. Because of that the economic systems that have supported you are likely to experience another one of these. However, if you know about it and are aware, you can put yourself in the highest position to create something positive instead of something negative. There will be difficulties with your systems on planet Earth. Now, how do you fix them? How do you change that? We can tell you what it looked like in the days when these systems worked, when you had empowered societies and that was the essence of the society. It was not, “How do we make money? How do we support ourselves? How do we live better?” Instead it was, “How do we empower the people around us?” That was the key element that existed in the days of Lemuria. It happened so clearly that there was no need for laws and you only had customs. It was incredibly beautiful and those days are returning.
The Soul of Business in the New Energy
You have a challenge in the way you define business so far, so let us speak first of the challenge because each person who makes up one of these collectives that you call business has a soul. The overall corporation whether it is made up of one person, five people or 500 makes no difference, for that company has a soul because it has an energy that acts as one. The moment you identify that place in the world, you can change the whole prospect of the company from the top down…all the way. What we are telling you is that companies that have only been in business for the purpose of making money will no longer be able to do that, because you are finding out it is an empty shell. There is no soul there. In the future we see a time when in order for governments to issue a permit for starting a business, it will also require that the company has a consciousness and that the company will do the best for humanity even if it is against their own profit. The company will bear the same responsibility that each and every one of you has as you walk down the street and past other people. That has not happened at this point on planet Earth. Now is the time to consider what you can do at your individual level wherever you work, whatever companies you own, or in whatever structures whether it is government or religion. These are the collectives of humans that will have to evolve very quickly.
Growing out of Polarity
This is a time where you can make a lot of these changes to result positively, rather than experiencing the cycles of fear and challenge. When you had an election in the United States, dear ones, you could not decide who was going to be president. One moment you found an extra vote over here and the next moment you found an extra vote over there. That started a stretch into polarity that was almost as if you were grasping for it. You started to move into a field of triality, but grasped for that old, familiar part. You hung onto it so tightly, that the whole world was laughing at your election and what was happening with it. Did it make any difference who won? Not really, because the reality of it showed the duality and the difficulties. In the United States you have not evolved past that, but now is the time to start doing this quickly. Dear ones, especially those in the United States, you have a very short time-frame that you can take hold of this and make something of it. We pray that the leaders can hear some of this message, because you have stretched so far into polarity that you do not know where the middle is any more. It is very important to come back to a point where nobody is right and nobody is wrong. It is a time to start figuring out how you and your neighbors are alike, instead of how you are separate. It is time to start figuring out how you can empower your people instead of spending your energy trying to lead them. Re-member, you have some of the greatest spirits on Earth and they are just waiting to go to work and spread light on this planet. If you make a space for that to happen, you will see great changes throughout all of planet Earth. It is happening now. It is taking place in many cultures, very quietly for most. Make your voices heard.
Now, how does each one of you deal with it? You say, “What can I do? I am not a leader of a nation. I am not a politician.” Dear ones, every one of you has a strong hold in the field of polarity. Every one of you believes something is right or something is wrong. It is so interesting to watch your news now, because the fight has gone on so long that no one can even re-member what the original argument was all about. So much fear has been created intentionally to dissuade all of the information on planet Earth that you are all in danger of losing your grip on reality, because you are believing and buying into the fear. Enough! You can see what is happening. There are no more secrets on planet Earth. Trust your heart. Do not allow yourself to get wrapped up in fear, for that is a luxury you can no longer enjoy…no longer afford. It is time to get serious about what you wish to do on this planet. It is time to know that you have the power to create your reality. It does not matter where you are in this ripple, what is taking place with planet Earth, what is happening with your relationships, your job, your home life, or your work life. You have an opportunity to put yourself at the pinnacle, and to actually do what you came here to do. We are behind you 1,000 percent, because our job is not to be here to tell you which way to turn or what to do. Our job is to help you re-member who you really are, because you came here with a very specific purpose. We love you more than you could ever know. It is not easy taking your wings off and pretending to be a human. You walk into many walls that way and we love you for it, for this job can only be done in the way in which you will do it.
We leave you with three little reminders. Treat each other with the greatest respect you have. Nurture one another and empower each other every chance you get. Play well together.
Espavo.

"Déjà Vu" is a common intuitive experience that has happened to many of us. The expression is derived from the French, meaning "already seen." When it occurs, it seems to spark our memory of a place we have already been, a person we have already seen, or an act we have already done. It is a signal to pay special attention to what is taking place, perhaps to receive a specific lesson in a certain area or complete what is not yet finished.
In “Second Sight” I describe many theories to explain déjà vu: a memory of a dream, a precognition, a coincidental overlapping of events or even a past life experience in which we rekindle ancient alliances. What matters is that it draws us closer to the mystical. It is an offering, an opportunity for additional knowledge about ourselves and others.
During a trip to Africa, Carl Jung described a feeling of déjà vu when he viewed a slim, black man leaning on a spear looking down at his train as it made a turn around a steep cliff on the way to Nairobi. He writes, "I had the feeling that I had already experienced this moment and had always known this world." Although this world and this man were something alien to him, he saw the whole thing as perfectly natural. He called this a recognition of what was "immemorially known."
In Western culture, we are brought up to consider anyone who isn't an immediate member of our circle of friends and family to be a stranger. Yet at times, you meet people whom you feel as if you have known for years. You can talk to them about anything and they understand. You laugh easily with them. The tone of their voice, the way they take their coffee, all seem commonplace. It isn't that they remind you of someone else or that their qualities are simply endearing. You relate to them not as strangers, but as people with whom you have shared history, members of the same tribe.
A patient of mine named Shannon knew that she was going to marry her husband the day that they met. She had dated a lot of men following her divorce, but none of them felt right. Then, she met Bob. There was something about the way he smiled, the glint of his hair, his voice and the shape of his hands, that made her think that they had known each other before. After talking it was clear that their paths had never crossed, but after their first lunch date, they became inseparable. What Shannon and Bob immediately felt for each other was more than just physical chemistry. It was a natural compatibility and a depth of intimacy that usually emerges after couples are together for many years. They were married two months after they met and have been together now for ten years.
I’m often asked how to tell the difference between a feeling of déjà-vu when we first meet someone and an attraction stemming from an addictive obsession. Some addiction specialists say that whenever you meet someone and an explosion of fireworks go off, this is a sign not of true love, but of one neurosis meeting another. They suggest that you run as fast as you can in the opposite direction.
Based upon my work with the recovering community, I agree that there is a strong tendency among addicts and some non-addicts to try to "fix" themselves with love and sex, rushing prematurely into relationships inspired only by intense physical attraction. They often have nothing to do with déjà-vu, but stem rather from a basic emptiness that longs to be filled. There is no true bond between the people involved, they hardly know each other, and these partnership attempts fail miserably when the pink glow of newness wears off.
The fact that an encounter feels compelling or immediate doesn't necessarily mean that it is healthy or unhealthy. The experience of déjà vu must always be approached discerningly. However, mostly déjà-vu experiences are not obsessive or compulsive. They rather convey a quality that is quiet and solid..
The possibility of having a déjà vu is inherent in partnerships of all kinds, particularly the more intimate ones. It can occur in business, friendships and family, often leading to pivotal outcomes that can impact the direction of our life.
There are situations that are glitches in time, when the rules bend and the mystery takes hold. Enchanted moments that sparkle. These are deja-vus. They can take place anywhere, at any time and with anyone. Your real estate agent might show you a house that feels so familiar and right, you instantly know it is yours. Or perhaps you are in a restaurant and sense an inexplicable kinship with a woman sitting in the back corner booth. Don't let these possibilities pass you by. Take notice; investigate. There is no way of predicting where each might lead or what it will teach you. Summoning the courage to take a chance and act on synchronicities, to have faith in what is not yet visible, will make the experience your own.

Alice Time: Choosing Six Impossible Things To Believe In
I am an “Alice-o-phile”. I adore Alice in Wonderland and have forever and ever. My basement stairwell is painted as a Rabbit Hole and I have a collection of Alice art and copies of Alice because early on, I understood the message of Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass at an archetypal level.
Alice is our escort into the many absurd notions, ideas, politics and policies, beliefs and attitudes that underlie society and the way we see “reality”. And oh how long and absurd this list is of beliefs we are so convinced are true, important, real, and urgent. Why just the other day, I overheard a woman at the gym say to her friend, “I’ve got to hurry. If I don’t get this report in to my colleagues, the business deal we’ve been working on will be toast.”
“That’s absurd,” I thought. “If that report were so important – if you were so important to the business deal - what on earth are you doing at the gym?” Silly, silly girl – and now, I thought, she is going to rush away from the gym in a state of “It’s all about ME-ness”. An “Alice moment”, if there ever was one – and there are plenty in my world because I see so much “through the Looking Glass”. (Seeing through the Looking Glass requires that you reverse what you’re looking at, viewing everything through its opposite. If something appears complicated, see it as simple. People always look for “something”. Note this classic line from A through the LG: “I wish I could see nothing as well as you can.” Brilliant…)
We live in a world that is completely in love with going in the wrong direction. For example, we live in a society that completely trusts the rational mind to structure and order “reality”. (For starters, just look at what the rational mind has produced: wars, weapons, bio-destructive forces, environmental disasters, politics of deceit, religious corruption, false gods and bogus religious myths, bizarre notions of what’s real and what isn’t – like the doctrine of creationism in this, the 21st century, though civilization is much older than 21 centuries.) The absurdity of what we believe to be true and yet, how we behave as a “civilized” people is incomprehensible – much less how we go about negotiating our definition of being civilized. But enough of that…you get the picture.
Let’s jump back into Lewis Carroll and his magic. He delighted in satirizing the love affair that members of Victorian society had with themselves and, in particular, their addiction to snobbery. He looked at what the upper class could not bear to examine about themselves, which was, in essence, their own lavish lifestyles, attitudes, and well maintained prejudices about the way the world was and simply had to remain in order to keep them happy. But it is precisely this addiction to one’s personal enclosed comfort zone that positions a person to become exactly what he or she believes an elite lifestyle and privilege protects a person from becoming: close-minded, irrational, unyielding, unrealistic, and completely out of touch with the world at large. To say this another way: The more a person has to lose in life, the less likely that person is to welcome change or to embrace the vast world of the imagination.
Social and political revolutions have always been initiated at the grass roots level because those at the “top” have the most to lose. They see no reason for society to change, because from where they are sitting (Wall Street), everything looks just fine. Those who can envision energy technology, for instance, and have urged the auto and other industries for decades now to invest in energy technologies, have done so for several reasons, among them these two: First, they can see the handwriting on the decline of the oil-based economic wall. That is, we have to move in the direction of alternative fuels. But secondly, these visionaries simply can imagine the impossible. These are the people who are not afraid to take a risk and go where others have not yet gone in thought, in action, and yes, in investment in financial resources.
Carl Jung adored the realm of the imagination. He may well be the master explorer of our age of this domain. For him, the imagination contained the passageways to the psyche and the inner voices of our archetypes. Active imagination was an essential tool that he introduced, establishing a form of communication between the conscious and unconscious self. Right there we have something to imagine as impossible: opening a portal of communication between your conscious and unconscious self. That may be getting ahead of yourself a bit, but such a mega-thought does qualify for imagining the impossible, if you have never, in fact, considered undertaking such an endeavor.
Imagining the impossible – what a delicious and positively enchanting notion. And yet, the realm of the imagination is a fully and completely threatening place to suggest to a person who fears the loss of the familiar. As children, the world of the imagination is an acceptable playground because children are not yet rational creatures and a child’s imagination is considered cute – to an extent. Children are supposed to have imaginations – for a while. Technically speaking, if one can say such a thing, the psychic boundaries of children are still porous; therefore, they are subject to the “hallucinations” of the imagination. These include, for example, imaginary playmates and perhaps seeing the occasional fairy or sprite. Dark spirits may even show up. But a child is likely to be told that these nonphysical visitors are not “real”, they are merely “imaginary”. Thus, early on the lines in the sand are clearly drawn: What comes from the mind is “real”; what comes from the imagination is, well, imaginary. Not real. A poof of a thing, no more than a whimsical passing thought form.
Now granted the mind has “poofs” all the time, ideas that run through it this way and that, but because such thoughts come from the mind, these are not the same type of “imaginary” thoughts because…well…because they can perhaps wear the label of “practical” or “provable” or “conventional”. A value is made apparent very quickly to baby humans: If you are going to delve into the impossible, just make sure it’s the “practical impossible” and that your ideas can solve problems or increase production or profits somewhere. Having ideas just for the fun of having ideas is well, impractical! A waste of imaginary income – not that a person imagines or visualizes income….well, perhaps people do. But do such thoughts really qualify for “imagining” or just wishing? That question leads us to this most important question: Do people really know how to fall down the Rabbit Hole? It’s an art, after all, and not an accident.
The Art of Falling Down The Rabbit Hole
I’m an expert on falling down the Rabbit Hole. I live in the world of the imagination and the impossible. I rely upon the imagination to fill me with ideas on a continual basis. If I lived in the ordinary world, I would disintegrate in short order because the ordinary world is a place filled with reasons why ideas can’t succeed and with the wounds of failure and painful memories of the past that keep reminding people that they should live fearful lives instead of inspiring ones. In fact, even while writing this, a friend called for a business-related matter but in warming up to our meeting, he asked what I was doing. I told him I was writing a piece based on Alice in Wonderland. He asked if I liked the movie. I said, “Not really, and I suspect Lewis Carroll would not have cared for it either. Alice was meant to be enchanted in Wonderland and not be disappointed by characters who were defeated by an angry Red Queen.” He asked me why I loved Alice so much and I carried on and on about my many reasons and even brought the wisdom of Alice into the nonsense of the politics of Washington – which was not all that difficult. But after all that, he said, “I have an idea,” and off we went into the realm of the imagination, into the world of what is waiting to be created, ideas just waiting for a chance to incarnate.
Falling down the Rabbit Hole requires the capacity to “let go” and allow your imagination to take flight, giving form and vision to possibilities and impossibilities – before you let your mind tell you they are absurd, ridiculous, too expensive, and then that final blow, “What will people say?” What do you care what people say? I never have – and that is the great secret of the Rabbit Hole. You simply have to get over your fear of what other people think. For what possible reasons do you care what other people think?
Now to be clear – I am speaking of creative ideas, not of running out on my responsibilities, incurring huge debts, shooting up drugs, or deciding on a life of theft. So let’s be realistic about what I am speaking about when I speak about not caring about what other people think. I still have my head on straight and my feet firmly planted on the ground – but not my imagination. That part of me is given full reign to go off to places known and unknown to me. My target is the realm of ideas, original thought, creativity, and accessing the deep resources of your soul from which springs your “charism” or your “unique creative grace.” Visionaries and creative geniuses know this inner sanctuary, as do great poets, writers, and pioneers of science and medicine. This is where Emily Dickenson dwelled as well as Shakespeare, Mozart, Bach, Einstein, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. They all fell down their unique Rabbit Holes. They imagined worlds that did not yet exist and their lives became devoted to incarnating those worlds. I have no doubt that they imagined far more than six impossible things before breakfast every morning.
It’s easy to tell who has what it takes to sojourn down their Rabbit Holes. Within seconds of conversing with people, they say something that reveals whether they are courageous or frightened, or whether they essentially travel backwards all the time. They soon reveal whether they have the stamina of spirit to explore the unknown in their life or whether most of their decisions are aimed at keeping everything the same as it always has been. Backward travelers will never be able to find their Rabbit Holes. They have to be content with reading Lewis Carroll and simply wishing their life could be different. They will find it difficult to penetrate into the realm of the imagination, as there is a profound difference between wishing and imagining.
Wishing Versus The Power of The Imagination
Wishing has little, if any, real power. It’s musing at best and a passing thought or fancy in its weakest form. A wish is a temporary enchantment that lacks the backbone and substance to attract creative life force or power.
Imagination, on the other hand, takes effort, energy, and generates a substantial amount of emotional and psychic response once you make contact with a great idea. Merging with a unique vision is the same as having an unfamiliar download of grace rush through your system. In an instant, it penetrates into your intellect, your emotions, your mind, your vocabulary; your archetypal dynamics adjust themselves to new symbolic content – shifting your understanding of the cosmos. You can feel the power of that idea – that vision – take hold of you as it runs through your blood like a new drug, making its way into your neurology. And then it’s locked into your psyche. It’s yours. The download is complete and you are on a high that is unexplainable to anyone who has never been swept away by the thrill of contact with the realm of original thought. This is a love affair unlike anything on earth because it isn’t of the earth. But it soon will be – that becomes your task as the vessel of the imagination.
Original thought implodes someone who won’t do what’s required to be a container and vessel of that which others cannot see or comprehend. You have to be someone who can handle being misunderstood or keeping your own creative company or handling a vision others cannot understand. You have to be strong enough to believe alone – and for a long time – in what others cannot imagine. Many people have been able to do that, but most people cannot stand alone in the demanding realm of the imagination. So they live in the lesser world of fantasies and musings.
What if you really could fall down the Rabbit Hole? Would you? Doesn’t it tempt you even a little – or perhaps more than a little? Wouldn’t you love to let yourself go and tumble into your own great unknown – the unknown that is your own unimagined life that you could imagine if you fell down the Rabbit Hole? You know you would.
You could tell yourself this is just a game, so let’s just say this is just a game. Okay – falling down the Rabbit Hole is just a game. (But what if it isn’t? I had to say that – I just had to.)
Falling down your Rabbit Hole requires that you dwell in the world of your imagination. But really dwell in it. Nurture it. And here’s the challenging part: You have to do what your creativity calls for, in order to bring forth the ideas you are imagining. They won’t just fall from the sky. Books, for example, don’t write themselves. Great discoveries in medicine just don’t happen. Poets actually sweat over their poems even though they’ve been completely saturated with the grace of imagination. You must understand that you form a working partnership with your imagination. Consider that one never forms a working partnership with a wish – how absurd is that? Fairy tales always lead a person to believe that a “wish” alone does all the work. Now really – a wish and a bunch of fairies – and people believe this more than they believe in mystical consciousness. And you talk about absurd????? Anyway – on to the impossible – which is utterly possible.
Believing in Six Impossible Things Per Day
This could be the most fun exercise I have ever given you, by the way. Do NOT answer these questions rapidly. Answering rapidly is an indication that you do not want to give reflective thought to these questions which – let me point out – you have never been asked before. Therefore, you can’t possibly know the correct response right off the top of your head. These questions require reflection. And they are questions in search of responses versus “answers”.
1) Define what’s impossible versus what’s possible for you. You’ve said to yourself, “That’s impossible.” What were you talking about when you said that and why was “that” – whatever that was – impossible? Too risky? Too much money? Would you risk looking foolish?
2) What’s the key difference between what you see as possible versus impossible? In particular, you are to carry this description all the way to the point of including “consequences”. That is, what would be the consequences of the things in your life that you declared were impossible – because in identifying the consequences, you are naming what you are really afraid of experiencing?
3) Everyone travels backwards because everyone has a history. The object now is to determine this: How often each day do you travel backwards in time? All day? Most of the day? Occasionally?
4) Are most of your decisions aimed at keeping your life as it is or introducing change? What is your rationale for your decisions: Safety or new experiences and adventure?
5) Do you tend to dismiss the creative ideas of others, looking for why new ideas of suggestions won’t work as opposed to why they could work?
6) Is there some part of your life that you would like to move forward that would be assisted by believing in six impossible things?
Imagining Six Impossible Things
Start anywhere. Or you can build all six impossible ideas around a strategy, all supporting the desire to break through something. Imagine something in your life that you would like to be other than the way it is. Imagine something absurd, for instance, or you doing something you have never done before. For example, imagine yourself wearing something you’ve always wanted to wear, or imagine yourself speaking to a neighbor that you really do want to meet, or imagine yourself climbing a tree.
Here’s the real point of this exercise: Holding these imaginings is symbolic of the White Queen in Alice – pure new thought. Consider the Red Queen the aggressive part of your mind that will come to do battle with pure thought, pure imaginings, pure creativity. The Red Queen will always try to destroy a creative gift as the Red Queen represents the opposition of the collective unconscious as well as your external world and your own inner saboteur, so you must meet that force on your inner battlefield. If you can grasp that, then you can understand that the object of imagining the impossible is a multileveled discipline that introduces you to the power of your imagination and creativity as well as to your inner saboteur.
But imagining is ultimately not enough. You have to do more than just imagine. You have to act on something that you imagine. You have to bring it forth and give it life. The “impossible” requires vigilance and dedicated attention and constant courageous choices as well as a willingness to allow your life to change in “impossible” directions – directions transcendent of north, south, east, and west. Imagine that.
How often should you make a list of six impossible things? That all depends on how daring you are and how bold an imagination you have. In this regard, there are no rules. You decide. My list is endless.
Just go for it. Enter the realm of impossibilities. One of the most delicious lines Emily Dickenson ever wrote was: Dwell in impossibilities. She obviously resided down the Rabbit Hole. It’s no wonder she is my favorite poetess.
Love,
Caroline
