We began the year, so to speak, with the advent of 12:12:2004. This energetic occurrence created the beginning of a deep cleansing, causing many to “go deep” within and begin releasing anything not of a higher vibration. We also experienced a great tsunami. And even though the tsunami occurred in the physical reality, this tsunami energy was felt within as well, no matter where we were residing. As unpleasant and difficult as this time appeared, it resulted in great growth and movement for individuals and the planet.

This deep dive into the density resulted in a second wave of ascenders during the months of April, May and June, and then… we reached critical mass on the planet in mid-August. Oh, it was glorious. This created a feeling in many lightworkers of being “finished”, as their roles and “responsibilities” had been completed. At the higher levels of their souls, they then pulled out their energies. There was no longer a need to “hold the light” for the planet any longer. And with the higher energies now having pulled out, a series of natural disasters and other events ensued as anything and everything was now given free reign to fall as it may. Enough was intact so that everything else could “go”.

Next came the advent of November 11, 2005. Shortly before this time, another landmark was reached in which all souls were given the opportunity to choose when they would depart. July of 2004 was the time that the final choices were made at a soul level regarding staying on to create and/or experience a New World in a higher dimension, or leaving for experiences and realities that would better suit the needs of each soul.

I will never forget this time of July, 2004. It was as if a big iron door slammed shut and decisions had to be made according to which side we would reside on. Also during this time there was a lengthy lull in the energies. Nothing was moving… everything was in a void or null zone for many weeks. It felt uncomfortable for many, but it was important that every soul was given enough time to awaken and to decide.

These “choosing” landmarks and opportunities come around more than once. If a soul chooses to “stay” at this time, then they can always choose to “go” when the next opportunity arises. And it doesn’t mean that there is an exact day on which everyone leaves. The departures always line up energetically and situationally to best serve all family members and individuals in a soul’s circle.

11:11:2005
And then 11:11:2005 occurred with a more glorious result than we could ever have imagined. 11:11 opened a portal to the higher dimensions for this now critical mass. 11:11 of 2004 opened a stairway to Heaven for many “first wave” lightworkers to access, but this latest 11:11 of 2005 created a much bigger scenario.

Instead of the stairway to the higher realms appearing to be “up”, the 2005 portal created an overlay of the higher realms that came “down” and enveloped us completely. This was because so many souls chose to accept the light and the New higher ways of being. This was because we had reached critical mass. This was because we are now residing in the higher realms and they are now actually and beautifully surrounding us. This was because things needed to get so bad so that enough individuals would choose differently and be willing to let go of the old. Uncomfortable situations and feelings are a perfect springboard for jumping off into something New.

And know now that the higher realms are here to stay. No more carrots dangling. No more glimmerings of higher ways and feeling connected and wonderful that come and go. No more experiences of everything flowing beautifully for only short periods of time.

How might someone be feeling and what might they be experiencing if they are leaving the old reality behind and entering the higher realms?

Vertigo and spinning are very common. As we connect more and more to our light bodies and our Merkabah, this vehicle serves to transport us to the higher realms. We are dying while we are alive and the process is very similar. We are letting go of anything and everything, just as one would do during a physical death. It would be unusual to see a hearse with suitcases strapped to the top!

Dying to ascend
During the physical death process, everything is released instantly. During ascension, everything is released in a step-by-step, gradual and perfectly orchestrated way. Otherwise, it would be much too difficult to adjust and we would be traumatized and destroyed. So we find ourselves letting go of old relationships, old jobs and careers and old geographical homes and residences.

Neck and back pain are common. We are sprouting “angel wings” and these areas are releasing and aligning in monumental ways. Headaches are common as well. Sinus pressure can be felt as so much energy is pouring in through our crown chakras. Fogginess and feelings of disconnection are common during this latest shift. As we move through old density, this pattern repeats itself over and over again. But as we eventually move through it, we can then feel almost buoyant and certainly in a new space and with great clarity of sight.

Ascension Symptoms
Memory loss is always a common ascension symptom. During this latest phase, it was difficult to remember what one did that morning, yesterday, or even an hour before. And there is always that fun experience of not being able to access a word or name…and where in the world did I park the car this time?

In addition, many are experiencing situations where they are needing to “go back” into the old and wrap things up, and the old doesn’t feel very good anymore!

No sense of place and not knowing who we are or where we belong are feelings that arrive over and over again through the ascension process. Feeling lost. Feeling disconnected. Feeling ungrounded. Fear and anxiety as well. But the more we progress, the less we experience these feelings, and here’s why:

My daughter and two grandchildren are currently staying with me as they have decided to relocate back to the west from the east. Sunday evening the power went out for several hours in the whole mountain area where I live. Equipped with supplies for this experience, we were fine. But much to my surprise, when the electricity came back on, my daughter Ari breathed a big sigh of relief. She had felt very disconnected and lost. On the other hand, I had felt much more connected and truly wonderful…

The ascension process transfers us from using outside technologies and outside supports and realities, to inside technologies and a much deeper connection to who we really are and to Source. The interdependence on the old world structures and creations will no longer serve us in the higher realms.

And this is all occurring in perfect order. Because as the old outside 3D manifestations begin to fall, we will then need something new and a new way of being. If the outside 3D world crumbled and left before we had begun to evolve into beings of light, we would be in big trouble. All is happening at once, as it should. This is how creation occurs. Creation occurs in a perfect culmination of summoning and creating.

In addition, enough of us on the planet needed to be ready and willing to embrace something New. The old needed to get so bad that enough would be open to accepting the New that was arriving with rapid speed as a higher vibrating reality.

So then, this latest shift of 11:11 was truly monumental and a very substantial pivotal point indeed. There was a celebration in the higher realms such as I have never seen before. A major mission had been accomplished. A critical mass of individuals had chosen to open their hearts and accept the light. The world and this reality will never be the same again.

What will be some of the results?
For some lightworkers, feelings of graduating or being done. They are now free to create and experience the life of their dreams and play, play, play. Depending upon one’s programming, some may stay and begin the structures of the New World and others may want to go back “home”.

There will be a more certain and unmistakable unraveling of the old ways and old governments, etc. Much will be revealed as the denser energies are losing their foothold to a much greater extent. And as ascension always brings, there will be great experiences of intolerance for anything of a lower vibrating way.

Many will choose to simply feel good and desire that as their main priority. No more doing things “for the money” or from feelings of responsibility. In a perfect way, the ascension process makes us so tired that we find ourselves in a space of not caring anymore…and this is precisely as it should be.

Male/female relationships will change
There will be a change in male/female relationships into the male energy supporting the female energy so that the feminine can be freed up to perfectly express and create the New higher ways. Also, lightworkers will find themselves in a New way of being where they all love, play and reside together as beautiful companions and comrades… no more monogamous relationships, as so much ego has been dropped and interactions come from the heart.

There are many New ways in which we will be finding ourselves with regard to living and being, but they are too numerous to write about here. Something for another arena! (Much of this is discussed in my book Remembering Your Soul Purpose/A Part of Acension, which is finally due to be released in January.) And the January column in PlanetLightworker will also contain much more information regarding what 2006 will bring.

Get ready for December 12th
So get ready for our next milestone of December 12, 2005, which will serve to anchor in and strengthen the remaining steps needed to place us into the new grooves that we will be residing in come January. November was truly a month of transitions, all leading the way for an incredible New space in January.

Until next time, wishing you Heaven in your heart, starlight in your soul, and miracles in your life...
