"The Uncertaintly, the Darkness, and Waking Up at 3 AM" - Karen Bishop - March 15, 2009

[I Have A Dream]

The Uncertainty, The Darkness, and Waking Up at 3 A.M.
Karen Bishop
March 15, 2009

Welcome!

A few days ago, I went out my door for a walk. After going down the gravel road in front of my house for a few minutes, I found myself staring straight on at a small group of deer. What a beautiful sight they were. As we stood there locked in a long gaze for several minutes, I noticed that instead of the five I had counted, there were actually ten. Eventually, they moved oh so slowly away and I progressed on with my walk.

On my way back home, as I neared my house, there they were again, as they had moved along on their journey, crossed though my land, and ended up along another stretch of the gravel road I was journeying upon. This time, there were eleven, but as we stood there looking at each other once again, another deer emerged, making a total of twelve.

Again, we had a wonderful encounter and interaction, and again we moved on with our own journeys.

It occurred to me, as I encountered this beautiful gentle energy of the deer, yet twice in one day, that they possessed a wonderful message.

At first they appeared as five…the energy of change. Then came ten…the energy of new beginnings with the zero being an extra energy of special inner gifts. Progressing to eleven, a new portal was opened, with the dual number one serving as pillars of new beginning energy for a wonderful entry point. And then eventually, they emerged as twelve…the final energy of a higher way of being..of a new dimension…of completion and perfection.

And this is what is occurring now for so many of us.

First we experienced great change and much that was new. The energies were encouraging us to leave much of everything behind and to set up a very new foundation for ourselves. New and different was the theme. Change readying for new beginnings. Along with this, we progressed through a portal to a new and different shore. And currently, depending upon where you are on your journey home, there may be a strange and unsettling calm, a void or standstill, a space of no movement, and a wondering where you are now.

As always, we wait for the perfect time…we wait for enough souls to come to their own places on this journey…their own places in the new with their own new foundations now being set up. So in this way, after we progress to a certain point we may feel that not much is occurring, as the critical mass needs to be met before the next big surge forward and big experience of new and exciting adventures can arrive.

Yes, we are laying a very important new foundation now. We all need to be ready. From new web sites, to new cars, to new clothes, better health, or perhaps new homes and new friends, we are preparing for something very big…for the new dimension of completion and perfection.

We are now being asked to wait as everything is not quite where it needs to be before we move ahead. All the pieces are not yet together as a whole. It is not yet time. Shortly after the equinox on March 20th, there will be a bit of a shift along with the new moon on the 26th, and our new beginnings will then begin to open more fully.

Waking Up At 3 A.M.

Part of this preparation involves waking up at around 3 a.m. every morning, unable to go back to sleep. The last time I saw this happening was a very long time ago, when we were adjusting to the higher vibrations and evolving very rapidly in the beginning stages of our spiritual evolutionary, or ascension process.

There is a lot of energy running through us as we are preparing. Our souls want to get moving with their new roles, but it is not yet time. We are grounding in the new energies here in our new spaces, and thus, we indeed need to be here and not in another reality of dream time. We need a break from being gone as so much is occurring on all levels…we need to be here.

If you are one who is unusually sensitive, you may be finding it difficult to be out in the world, or to even have interactions at all with anything going on “out there.” Much of the old world can feel downright awful, as it is currently in such a major transition that the instability can throw us off balance and off course. Sensitives can oh so easily pick up these feelings of instability and uncertainty from others, but know as well, that the energies of the fall itself can be ever present as well.

The energy of uncertainly, as all the pieces are not yet together for a big thrust forward, can be felt at all levels. At our soul levels we always know what is occurring. Thus, our souls serve to protect us in every way by making it very clear what is occurring at higher levels. The uncertainly can manifest as fear and uneasiness, as a jittery feeling of insecurity and vulnerability, but it is only our souls telling us to wait a bit longer before we forge ahead.

It can be difficult to make any kind of decision then, as there is so much unpredictability now present, as well as these energies now being shaky, confusing, not attached to anything, and simply hanging out there with no seeming direction. This is simply part of the process of moving into another reality. We are setting up (and many are now done with the setting up), and have not yet come to the phase where we actually attach to the new shore. Add to this the void, or space left from the leaving of so many light filled beings, and much darkness can seem to have rushed in and taken over this very vacant spot. Darkness can seem to have much more of a foothold when we are in a vulnerable position, but this will soon pass.

Another new challenge is the fact that those of us who left (there were many), are no longer “allowed” to assist, to integrate, to interact, or to save what is now left behind. Nothing to hang onto in the old and with our old ways of being. So used to bringing up the lower vibrating energies, so used to interacting with openness in any given moment, we are now being asked by our souls and our group soul decision as the creators of this magnificent shift, to stay away, to bow out, and to wait for those who are ready to come to us for wisdom and direction. A strange time indeed.

Everywhere we turn, we may see darkness and appalling circumstances still present, as this shift is long and deep, but our souls know that this is simply part of the process and all, as always, is in divine and perfect order. We are simply in a void of in between, and temporarily so.

Our Current State

Setting up the new for ourselves is taking a while as it is so vitally important that our new foundations are right where they need to be. In addition, we are each at new and different stages…some ahead of others and some still preparing.

Staying in the eye of the storm is also vitally important now. Just putting a toe out into the swirling energies of the old can serve to smack us severely. In many ways, we have to go back into the old in order to set up our store-fronts or parts of our new foundations. These can be challenging interactions, but they can also be divine as well. We can ask that the perfect person and circumstances present themselves to us. We can refuse to participate or interact with anything less. In these times now present, simply staying still while we wait for what we need to miraculously arrive is becoming the norm as we begin to realize these new and special ways of the higher realms.

Creating our own personal sanctuaries and staying there is of great comfort and can immediately place us in the wonderful space of peace, love, calm, joy, and great miracles abounding. This is the difference between the new and higher realms that we have arrived in and the old world that is falling very rapidly now. And the chasm is now very vast indeed.

These are times for asking and being sure about what we want. These are times for expecting nothing less than the perfection we have now arrived in. These are times for ignoring, refusing to participate in, and for shutting the door on anything and everything that vibrates lower. We are the creators of our new reality here. It is up to us to decide what it will indeed look like. Vigilance is important, as we accept nothing less than what we have envisioned for so long.

We get to decide who will reside with us here. We get to allow access only to whom and what we choose. We get to create whatever it is that we choose to create in these new and higher vibrating spaces.

I am in the process of purchasing a new piece of land here in the mountains of West Central New Mexico, just moments away from my old land that I am now selling. As I visited this new place today, it became very clear what is now occurring. An ancient being arrived at my side at one point during the day, dictating to me that this new land of mine should be a portal for the star beings, as they wanted an entry spot. He said that they were counting on me to provide this for them. I had interacted with this being before, as he was the original being in charge of the first waves of ancients arriving on this Earth…an ancient one indeed.

I promptly told him to depart and never return.

I am planning on creating a very special space on my new land, and it will grow and open oh so slowly to each and every living thing that needs and “should” be there. It will be perfect in every way. It is up to me and up to all of us what we choose to create in our new Heaven on Earth.

During these times of massive transition and massive energies of the fall, we can actually live about anywhere we choose if we are able to create a personal sanctuary within and in our immediate surroundings. This new Heaven on Earth will begin with small pockets of energy. Very small and vibrating high… in time, these new pockets that we will create will come together, join hands, and create a magnificent web of higher vibrating energy and reality.

It is up to us. We are not going to get it up there or out there or back there. We will need to indeed create it ourselves. We have graduated and are now holding enough light within us to sustain what we used to get from the outside. And coming together is slow and steady ways will eventually create the web needed to hold together our very new reality in the higher realms.

Tuning out the old, ignoring the old world as much as possible, not participating in the old, and knowing that it is now indeed OK to disregard others, will make our journey much easier. The new ways of navigating and surviving in the new (and the old) will be addressed in much greater detail in the new mini e-book I am in the process of creating and offering to you on this web site in the near future. These ways are different than we have ever known.

The old world may seem ugly now because it is supposed to be. We do not belong there anymore. We now belong in this very new space that we are indeed creating one special piece at a time. We have been beaten down so much in times past, as this is very simply a part of the process. It is our ego selves that are being beaten away…being lashed at, pounded upon, and hit until we are willing to let them go…to let go and to surrender to our souls and to the light that is now indeed within us. All else is being washed away as it is no longer needed. This is part of the process and always will be. It is the simplicity that will remain…the true and authentic parts of ourselves that will remain to guide, create, and to love this Earth and all her inhabitants.

As we begin to vibrate higher within ourselves, we reach a point where we no longer feel comfortable being alone. In the beginning stages of ascension, we needed to be comfortable being alone, as this was part of the process of letting our fear of being alone go. And now as we are vibrating with the energy of a whole, we can have distinct and at times painful desires to be with others. This is as it should be, because we have now evolved to the states of unity that are present in the higher realms.

This is why we will soon be coming together. We had to start over first. We had to create and experience a very clean and clear slate and palette before we could place a thing upon it. All in divine and perfect order. Soon then, we will begin to hold hands with others who are vibrating where we are, and who are divinely intended to be in our spaces. As this process continues to unfold, while we continue to create our new foundations and palettes, we can know then what is on the near horizon.

If we can keep our minds on positive thoughts, if we can be grateful for so many things, we can also know that this can assist in keeping us right where we need to be as well. (A brief note here: If you are experiencing any panic or anxiety, a great remedy is calcium and the Omegas 3, 6, and 9. As always, it is best to consult your health care practitioner. Staying in the eye of the storm will very naturally create a very calm state as well.)

Although things may indeed seem confusing now, they are actually simply part of the big plan that is unfolding as it should. We will all be OK, as we are the creators of this plan, and it was intended that we remain intact and safe in all ways. Are you ready to see what the end of March will bring? And are you ready to be fully integrated, grounded, and complete with your new beginning in June? I sure am! What a journey these last stages have been!

With much love and gratitude...until next time,

Karen

1. Here's the book excerpt that accompanied the E-mail notice.

From The Ascension Companion:

BIRTH

Through the ascension process, as we know, we are
literally dying while in a 3D body. Just like the death experience
in the old 3D world, we are experiencing a vast amount of letting
go and releasing much that is not of a higher dimensional
way...all in order to arrive in a higher dimension. Only this time
we are taking our physical bodies with us.

As we begin arriving on "the other side," we are also basically
being re-incarnated again. This re-incarnation experience,
without the usual 3D death experience, can create some
interesting phenomenon. And it is not sudden, like the 3D death
process...it is gradual, which can make things even more
confusing.

Before the ascension process really began in earnest, in 2000, we
had different roles. Lightworkers came to the planet to begin the
"shake-up" process with the energy...to raise the consciousness
of the planet and get things rocking and rolling for the ascension
process to take hold. This was the primary role and purpose of
the "first incarnation."

After critical mass was reached on the planet and it was time for
many to "cross over" in January of 2006, a massive re-birth
occurred, and many were then ready for a very New role. But
there were also those who went way ahead, and thus experienced
a re-birth far before the critical mass.

After the critical mass had a re-birth experience, they were then
ready for a very New purpose and role. They had basically
reached a critical mass within themselves, and were now
vibrating at a much higher level. During this time, then, the New
roles involved the creation of the New Planet Earth. They had left
their old roles and purposes behind. And much of their old selves
too!

Birth is a very key component of the ascension process. I
remember having a re-birth experience several years ago. I was
checking in, or basically giving myself a reading, and all I could
see was me waving good-bye and crossing over through some big
energetic doorway into another world and reality. I have to say,
that at the time, this really freaked me out. This was long before
we really knew much about ascension. I thought I was probably
getting ready to die. And then, sure enough, I had a substantial
and intense ascension process all in one big "whoosh!", and
thought I was certainly going insane.

But I emerged in a totally New space, and felt incredibly
wonderful and much stronger than I had ever been in my other
life. I had let go of a lot and greatly changed my vibration. The
ascension process creates many re-births. There is not just one.
I have had several. Many times they arrive around the time of
our birthdays. I usually know when one is about to occur, as I
feel that I am going somewhere, along with feelings of great loss
and sadness...knowing that much will be left behind. And I
usually feel a bit panicky as well. I feel that at some level, I am
going somewhere that I have never been before...some unknown
place. But also knowing that so many will be ascending in the
future, can bring great comfort that some of our loved ones will
be arriving one day as well.

Through a New birth, relationships with our old 3D physical
families can be greatly affected. We chose these physical families
for very specific reasons in our first incarnation involving the
ascension process. When we re-incarnate, we are not attached to
them anymore. It is not uncommon to lose contact and to then
leave these original physical families. It is part of the process.
Maintaining a relationship out of pure love and affection, can
keep these relationships afloat...so we do not necessarily have to
say good-bye to our biological families. But our soul families will
arrive in due time...especially our connections to our teams for
creating the New World, and we will feel connected once again,
only for different roles and purposes. We will then be having very
New families and at a much higher level.

After the first re-birth, we usually lose most of our damaged
inner child energy. It is replaced by the energy of the original
innocence. We are then coming from much more of a Source
connection, instead of coming from our ego, or dis-connect
selves. It is truly a wonderful space to now be in.
If you have chosen this page, you are going through a re-birth.
Although you may feel distraught, stressed, confused, and
anguished, know that you will feel so incredibly cleansed and
divine after your New birth is complete. Happy Birthday and get
ready to welcome to a very New you! It is truly worth it in the
end!

3. Oh my, oh my!

gotta comment on this one paragraph at a time:
Just like the death experience
in the old 3D world, we are experiencing a vast amount of letting
go and releasing much that is not of a higher dimensional
way..
That explains what has happened the last two days with me losing that computer disc! I have finally let it go--and all the emotional baggage that went with it. I saw my boss and told her it was lost, we'd keep looking for it, and if we couldn't find it, I'd pay for a replacement. And her reaction was "Oh, ok." Not the big deal I assumed it would be (one of the Four Agreements is NOT to make assumptions--what a lesson for me!).

This re-incarnation experience,
without the usual 3D death experience, can create some
interesting phenomenon. And it is not sudden, like the 3D death
process...it is gradual, which can make things even more
confusing.

This sounds very intriguing, but I'm not sure I comprehend it. Do you take it to mean we are gradually changing into new and different beings when it is done, or just closer to who we really are?

But our soul families will
arrive in due time...especially our connections to our teams for
creating the New World, and we will feel connected once again,
only for different roles and purposes.
This should be very interesting, as I have drifted away from one spiritual family and seem to be starting to connect with another, one more local.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

2. beautiful!

So much here rings true. I feel myself being at a "waiting station" along with my husband and colleagues. There have been some strange things happening--appointment cancellations at the last moment, items missing--that seem to me, at least, to be part of this last "tidying up" before we ascend further. The energy pocket here at the Foundation is quite strong, and likely to get stronger as more are attracted to come here and share the energy.

I liked hearing her say that we choose to create now, that we have the right, the duty, to create our safe havens. But I think they are more than what appears outside in the world--the safe haven to nourish and care for is within your own heart. I've felt this very strongly for a couple of months now--protect your heart with Light, dear friends, and remember that we are all together on this great adventure.

Awakening at 3 am? I've been doing that for quite a while. Didn't know it had a spiritual dimension, but I'll check within when it happens tonight.

[OneGrassRoot]

4. Thank you, and an observation....

Karen said: "Tuning out the old, ignoring the old world as much as possible, not participating in the old, and knowing that it is now indeed OK to disregard others, will make our journey much easier."

I'm experiencing this attitude or approach to life by others a lot lately.

I'm not judging it (well, I'm trying not to); indeed, I do understand it. Sometimes I wish I could DO it.

Whether it's those who have been on a spiritual journey, or simply a journey of exploration for a long time, many have the attitude that they are done. That they have "put it out there" and done the work, and if something is meant to be, it will come to them; if people don't understand them, it's not their "stuff" -- it's always the other person's stuff.

What I am personally witnessing, primarily from those who have followed such a path of exploration, is that they don't choose to engage humanity any longer. Unfortunately, many give off the attitude that they are "better than" and they do, as Karen said, "disregard others."

This is the first message from Karen that I have a hard time resonating with.

I can understand not giving of oneself to the point that you are drained, or even not giving of oneself at all -- or interacting at all -- for whatever reason. We certainly need boundaries.

But what I never understand -- and indeed why I have a hard time communicating with many uber spiritual friends (the more "new age" approach of spirituality) -- is that they are on Earth. They are incarnate, as much as they may prefer to exist in the ethers.

It seems to me a bridge is needed. This complete disconnect, as I interpret Karen saying, though I recognize it has been a long journey to this point, is disconcerting to me, but I know many who feel exactly as she does.

Indeed, many of you may as well. I truly respect it, but it does bother me. I don't know how to be in this world without being OF it; learning to find my way and stay true to my passions and integrity is a challenge, and there are limits and boundaries in order to survive, especially being an empath, but I can't imagine disregarding other beings and acting as if they aren't there and that I'm in my own world.

Of course, I recognize that is my problem. ;) This has come up a lot for me in the last few weeks, so I'm sharing here, for what it's worth.

:grouphug:

[I Have A Dream]

5. OGR, I haven't had a chance to read this yet since I'm working...

and just wanted to get it posted. I mentioned in the last thread of Karen's that I posted that this particular thing didn't resonate with me at all. Because of this, I follow what my own inner guidance tells me. In my opinion, Karen's stating what she believes, and I find that very helpful usually. However, she and I differ very clearly on this particular thing. What she's stating is not my path.

I thank for sharing her perceptions with us, but I don't feel the need to take what she says as being the gospel truth.

Bottom line: I personally completely agree with you. We don't want to be doormats, but I personally don't think that I should totally turn my back on those in need. I will never do that. :hug:

[OneGrassRoot]

6. I understand, and I hear you :)

I think most of us take what resonates and discard the rest, whether it's from Karen or elsewhere.

I guess I'm experiencing this viewpoint so directly lately that it struck an especially strong cord, one which makes me uncomfortable. I do respect it, but I'm having a hard time learning how to work with it. Maybe that's it. When you have to work closely with others with such a different life perspective, that is quite a challenge.

Hugs to you, Dream.....:hug:

[lildreamer316]

15. I agree also....

I think that's part of what allowed me to return to work now, of all times...I am at a place where I am ready to interact with humanity again. I think I already went through a long period of staying away and into myself and my family...several years, in fact. I'm either way ahead or a bit behind where Karen feels she is at this point. Now, I am still limiting who is let into my life or personal area,but I think I've finally gotten a bit better about that.It seemed to take me a long time to perfect that particular thing.

Maybe she really needs a retreat...sometimes we all do!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

17. You give water to a thirsty person

that's for sure. But if a person is thirsty and asleep, they don't realize their thirst--and so you let them be. That's how I take this one.

With Karen Bishop, some alerts really resound with me, while others don't. I think that is because we are all on unique paths, and they only cross every so often.

[northernlights]

19. beautifully put, ayeshahaqqiqa

Thank you. I needed to read that.

I find I'm selective about who I help and how much I give these days. Some people have holes in their feet -- no matter how much water you pour in, it will just pour right out the bottom anyway. So I simply refuse to help them.

So for me, as I think about it, I feel the problem I'm having is not with Karen's specific decision to not help others any more. It's something about the way she is stating it. I haven't put my finger on it just yet...

[I Have A Dream]

20. The problem that I have with it is that it sounds as though it...

is wrong or harmful to help anyone now. That's not what my heart tells me, so I'll follow my own inner guidance as to whom I should help.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

21. I agree with you

Your heart will lead you in the right direction.

[northernlights]

13. OGR and IHAD

this, too, is part of what doesn't resonate with me.

I wrote when I first joined this board that I had been part of an intranet group, called Arcana, while I was at Digital Equipment. We had a member, one of the founding members of the group, who did this exact thing. She was accepted by a "more advanced" spiritual group -- medium-well known authors and workshop teachers. One of them helped her get a publishing contract. Once her book was published she simply dumped us. (And she wrote about Arcana in ways that didn't sit well with her close friends. I chose not to buy the book, so have never read it, due to the way she treated us.) We apparently just weren't "good enough" for her any more. She moved to just 1 hour south of me last year. When I learned of her move, I called a couple times. She does not answer the phone or return messages when I call her. Not even to just say hello...not one word. As if my presence would somehow contaminate or spoil her private little world.

I don't take it personally, in part because we were never exceptionally close, but it doesn't exactly enhance my opinion of her or her "brand" of spirituality, either. She dumped other founding members, including one who was a long time friend of hers, and who is an incredibly gifted astrologer and energy worker.

I get a bit of an underlying "better than" message in everything Karen Bishop writes. Similar to the vibes of my former "friend" (also a Karen B.). I don't know how much of that is me, projecting, or Karen Bishop. But I do suspect some of it may be meant to sell her e-books to people who have the need to feel "better than."

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

16. The Sufi path is to stay in the world but not be of it

So I'm in the trenches, as it were--and yet I see what Karen is saying in a slightly different light. I see it as giving me permission to let go on "lost causes"--those people who call out to me for change and yet never want to change.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

7. Making my own place for art and artists of all sorts.

This certainly resonates with me:
QUOTE
Creating our own personal sanctuaries and staying there is of great comfort and can immediately place us in the wonderful space of peace, love, calm, joy, and great miracles abounding. This is the difference between the new and higher realms that we have arrived in and the old world that is falling very rapidly now. And the chasm is now very vast indeed.

These are times for asking and being sure about what we want. These are times for expecting nothing less than the perfection we have now arrived in. These are times for ignoring, refusing to participate in, and for shutting the door on anything and everything that vibrates lower. We are the creators of our new reality here. It is up to us to decide what it will indeed look like. Vigilance is important, as we accept nothing less than what we have envisioned for so long.

We get to decide who will reside with us here. We get to allow access only to whom and what we choose. We get to create whatever it is that we choose to create in these new and higher vibrating spaces.
END QUOTE

YES YES YES!!!!

I want my place in the country to be an artistic haven for creative people who want to write poetry, rehearse plays, make music, make art, grow things, or whatever they need to do when they get out of the city. I have already invited a specific group of friends.

8. this caught my eye

Waking Up At 3 A.M.

Part of this preparation involves waking up at around 3 a.m. every morning, unable to go back to sleep. The last time I saw this happening was a very long time ago, when we were adjusting to the higher vibrations and evolving very rapidly in the beginning stages of our spiritual evolutionary, or ascension process.

This sure resonates with me. I do this every morning--wake up around 3 or 3:30 and I absolutely cannot go back to sleep.

[OneGrassRoot]

9. This is probably weird, but about the 3:00 thing...

I vividly remember this happening to me when I was pregnant with my son; the result of that pregnancy was stillbirth, but the pregnancy itself was absolutely perfect...no problems whatsoever and it was truly the happiest time of my life. Ever. In fact, that was the first time in my life that I was happy.

I know something magickal happened with that event...as I felt very connected to that soul immediately upon discovering I was pregnant. The 3:00 thing always disturbed me a bit, in hindsight, but perhaps it was more of a higher vibrational occurrence during that timeframe. Having Joshua most definitely was the beginning stage of my own spiritual evolution, that's for certain. Makes sense. :)

[I Have A Dream]

12. ...

[BlancheSplanchnik]

10. Haa, I woke up around 3...

finally decided to putter instead of lying in bed trying to sleep.

so I checked the computer and lookatthiswouldja.

I'm resonating with alot of this one...... I consider myself pretty sensitive to energy, and the stuck feeling has been the dominant one for over a year....the feeling that the energy has GOT to get moving in some positive direction...

My hunny and I are doing better (by the way)---the stress on him has been waaaay over the top, and since I have material security, it's hard for me to understand what the anguish is like for him (also, he does so well at not imposing his upset on me, that I forget he's working hard to keep himself together). But it's intense and it's been going on for so long...for the most part, he's been handling the figurative earthquake admirably. Again, I keep forgetting the loss and pressure and change he's been having to assimilate. Funny, I got a flash of this awareness of his point of view while lying in bed, before having a look online.

anyway, my point wasn't to talk about that, but to try and describe how the energy feels stuck; it was very anchoring to read this Wings, since she described the feelings of waiting for a clear path to open up and struggling with impatience.

I wish I felt energetic enough to mull over some of the other parts of this, including some posts here that made me think...but the lack of sleep is getting to me...

shoot, I hope I can remember some of the questions in my mind that I'd like to discuss.....

....hmm, well, ONE just came to mind as I was thinking about major changes/growth/ "rebirths" I've been through in my life...

.....and how he's been through them in life too. At the moment, he's in the middle of a big one (how does a laid of 54 year old find work again, in a new state where he has no connections, especially since he's a physical worker, not an office worker?), whereas I went through a big one several years ago.

So, the question that came to mind is, we all have big changes at different points in our lives. This has been and probably always will be. So what differentiates that from this ascension rebirthing/change/growth that Karen talks about? I was imagining a time after "successfully ascending" when I won't have to worry about these huge tectonic shifts and the anxiety that comes with them. And then it hit me, that life and its changes and the fears that come with change will probably continue after this ascension period....

....... and all this pondering begs the question, What then, IS this state of being we're referring to, 'ascension'?

Phew...now my eyes are giving out and my brain is drooping...!

Did this make any sense?? :P

14. something of an answer

So, the question that came to mind is, we all have big changes at different points in our lives. This has been and probably always will be. So what differentiates that from this ascension rebirthing/change/growth that Karen talks about? I was imagining a time after "successfully ascending" when I won't have to worry about these huge tectonic shifts and the anxiety that comes with them. And then it hit me, that life and its changes and the fears that come with change will probably continue after this ascension period....


David Wilcock addressed that on a Coast to Coast show a week or two ago. He says, among other things, that it's going to be a positive experience for humankind. I will go back and listen for more and return with more detail.

One other thing I recall--he was not happy with the fearmongers who promote this thing as something to be scared of.

p.s. Also, have you read The Origin of Consciousness and the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind? I think it might be something along that order. A major change in the way we think because of a major change in the way we're able to perceive.

This reminds me of something I teach in my classes. It has to do with perception and the brain. You know, of course, that the brain has certain idiosyncrasies in terms of its perception. An example is stereotyping. We have to be aware of these little quirks and organizational methods of the brain because it prevents us from seeing accurately. What might be happening might have something to do with that--we will think differently.
