From Steve:

I knew a week or so ahead of time that this message was coming. I really resisted it as I have a strong aversion to putting out a negative message like the one you are about to read. I have a tendency to shut out fear based messages of any kind in my own life. I personally believe that we as humans have been played the “fear card” way too many times. It turns out that Fear is good business. Give people a really good scare and they will do anything. This becomes evident when you can’t remember the password to your password program. I would like to think that we are catching on here, but humanity has surprised me before like when a majority in the US bought into fear and reelected a president who promoted that fear.

Sorry, we won’t get into politics here, and the group did not tell us who to vote for. They did however give some very great examples how to vote and what to find in your own heart. They gave us the sad data that thus far 97% of our leaders on this planet have been elected out of fear. They also gave us the prediction that the economy in the US is about to fall. (This message was presented live on the VirtualLight Broadcast on September 27th 2008 before the bottom fell out of the global economies.) It is a fall that will be felt all over the world. They mentioned 6 to 8 years and even likened it to the fall of Rome. They said the air needs to completely come out of the balloon and then it can rebuild on solid ground. They thought it humorous that the president was going to write a check and solve the problem. Even as they spoke this fear based message they quickly reminded us that we can change this course at any time and they gave us some ways to do so.

The group brought up one of their core issues. The Universal Energy has a motion of pulling things back together. They said that actions that oppose this motion and separate will find more resistance while actions that are in harmony with the unifying principle will be supported. The time of separation is over. They were talking about actions of organizations, corporations and governments. Actions that reflect this unifying principle in business and governments will determine how well these businesses and governments adapt to the higher vibrations of the new planet earth. In plain words they suggested that we elect people who will stop segregating and restricting the flow of energy.

The group also gave us a new model for elected officials. They said it would be like the days of Lemuria when we did not have laws but instead had customs. These leaders were elected to serve the people and take care of the infrastructure, take out the trash, pave the roads etc. The truth is that for us to change the direction our economy is heading it will be necessary for us to take back our own power instead of giving it to a leader who want to protect us from our own fears. With this power comes a level of responsibility that few have chosen to take thus far. After all, it is easier to give our power to the leaders than to take responsibility for ourselves. Yet, those who take their power will open many doors for the others as that is the way of the empowered human and this will lead us into the Age of E.

I know in my heart this message of hope will be one of the most important messages from the group in the 21st century.

Have a wonderful month.

Big hugs and gentle nudges,
Steve

 

GREETINGS FROM HOME

The New Earth
You have traveled such a great distance with so many incarnations as souls, and playing a number of games throughout the universe. Some of you think you are old souls, but actually you are all exactly the same age. The reality is that many of you are new to Earth. Some of you have been here many times before, but others have started the Human cycle recently to be in place for the great shift. We wish to speak of this shift today. There is an evolution in progress of which you are well aware. All of humanity is raising vibration at an astounding rate never even dreamed of in the creation of humankind. You are changing the game every second of every day. There is no grand plan, for you are creating the path beneath your feet just before your feet hit the ground. It is becoming both exciting and scary for all of you. You have also chosen to move to another level and to start again.

You are going to re-set the energy and create the new Earth here in this space. It is what we call creating Heaven on Earth. In order to create Heaven on Earth you must understand some of Heaven's attributes a little better, for humans do not fully understand what is real and what is not. Humans have always had a problem with reality. You keep thinking reality is real, but it is not. The truth of the matter is that with your every thought and breath, you are creating a new, refreshing creation that is coming through your being bringing light and energy from Home.

The Fall of Rome Over Six to Eight Years
Much of your evolution on this planet has been based on separation, and that is what we wish to speak of this day. There are big changes coming to planet Earth and you are seeing the very beginning of them now. These changes are beginning in the United States, but they are not limited to the United States. You are seeing the air escaping out of a huge balloon. Currently it looks as if all the air is going to come out of that balloon. We have mentioned this before, but just briefly. The Fall of Rome is at hand again. We will tell you that over the next six to eight years, there is a downfall coming of the world's economies. These have nothing to do with your individual locations, but the downfall has started in the United States.

Your economies, just as your hearts, are intertwined. It is not possible to have a difficulty in one area without experiencing a similar difficulty throughout the rest of the world, so we are not going to limit this message to any one country or any one people. That is the base of the problem: your entire ideas of creating countries or even communities have been based on separation. Living in a field of duality has given you the illusion of seperation. You thought that it was very important to preserve your heritage and to make sure it was never diluted, so you put up boundaries. This has happened over and over again throughout history. Yet we tell you that much of the difficulties that you will now experience is caused by that separation. Since we have already spoken of the United States, let us use that country as an example. Let us go back to this great nation and tell you what made it great.

What Made America Great
Consider the words of poet Emma Lazarus that are engraved on the Statue of Liberty: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free... I lift my lamp beside the golden door." Are the United States of America welcoming those in need today? No, because her government has stopped the flow, creating a separation that was not there before. The separation that was meant to protect you is instead killing you. It is not just in the United States, dear ones, but it is all over the world. We have told you this before by putting it in terms of Universal Energy. We mentioned that governments, businesses and collective organizations will eventually have people who do nothing more than compare the actions of that business to Universal Energy. If you are in accord with Universal Energy, you are blending; you are not separating. The universe abhors separation, and now that humanity is moving to the next level your tolerance levels are gone.

You are seeing the beginning of a very difficult process of re-setting the energy of an entire nation - in fact of the world. It will hit every single soul that lives on this planet. Now that we have given you the bad news let us tell you the rest of the story, for we do not say these things lightly. We told the Keeper about this a week ago so that we could have time to convince him to actually deliver this message, because he was in great resistance to delivering a negative message of this nature. However, we promised that above all we would show you how to change this scenario and claim your power as creators. Let us start by saying that you do not have to follow the path. You do not have to experience the negativity that is at hand, because each of you has choice.

Writing Checks That Can Not Be Cashed
Many of you have been waiting for your leaders to do something to correct the current economic situation. However, your leaders have just written a check that cannot be cashed. It is absolute insanity to expect to fix the problem with the exact same actions that originally created it. We ask you not to give your power to the leaders at all. The leaders of your countries, and even your organizations, will return to the more important things that they were meant to do. Leaders are not meant to make a country great, because only the country's people can do that. Your leaders are meant to do the important things, such as collect the trash, make your highways safe, and coordinate things with all the other countries. That is what your leaders were meant to do, but they have been allowed to do so much more until now. You have constantly given your power to world leaders. They have gladly taken it and said, "Thank you." Ahh, but you have choice at hand now, do you not? Not only do you have choice in the United States of America, but you have choice all over the world. Let us give you suggestions of what to look for. No, we will not tell you who to vote for. Many of you have your pens out?we think that is hilarious!

Fear vs. Love
Let us speak to you about the decision process. First, understand that 97% of the leaders on this planet over the last 200 years have been elected out of fear. Are you tired of being afraid? We hope so. You have been playing the game of fear over and over again. Yes, it is a drama and humans love drama so you have chosen to go back and play the game over and over again. You have elected your officials and representatives out of fear, and that is where the challenge is. If instead you will elect your leaders out of hope, love, and alignment with your energy rather than by trying to measure experience or compare promises, you will not be acting out of fear. We tell you, dear ones, it is time for humans to take back their power. It is not a revolution, and it need not be in a negative way. Instead, it is a quiet, internal decision to hold one's power. However, you are still in a field of polarity and have been living in a field of duality. You see things as up/down, right/wrong, good/bad, or love/fear - all the opposites. That is now changing. It is becoming a field of Triality, where you now have a new balance of the higher self so you no longer see light and dark separately. It is more like a triangle which is illuminating a circle. Differences can be viewed as part of each other, and with a new perception of the higher self you can begin to see the larger picture. The larger picture also includes power... individual power. From the very beginning of these messages we have told you the balance of power is responsibility. If you wish to increase your power in any area, figure out a way to increase your responsibility.

Power to the People!
We ask you to not give your power to your leaders ever again. You hold that power within your heart. You are responsible for your own well being, for your happiness, and for finding joy on this planet, because that is what you came to do. That is why you took physical form; that is what this game was all about. It is going through a re-set, but it does not have to be as difficult as you have outlined it to be. The re-set can be very short, simple and easy. Let us give you some specific examples so that you can see what it looks like from our perspective.

We have given you a negative message that the Keeper had preferred we not share. The fear is that as a result of hearing this you will go home, hoard your money, and stop spending.. You will pull things up and protect yourself. We tell you, dear ones, that this is the perfect time to start a business. This is the time to make an investment or to buy something that you have been dreaming of for a long time. This is the time for you to take responsibility for yourself and your own flowing energy. If you wish to increase abundance, it begins at the front door, not the back door.You do not wait for the energy to come in. You are afraid of having nothing. Dear ones, you are about to experience that but you do not have to. We are not telling you this to cause fear, but to help you re-awaken your gifts of creation. We hope you take this and create the greatest dream you have. We would love nothing more than to come back into these rooms three months from now and say, "See, you were wrong!" That is the energy and the creative ability that you have. Find hope. Find love.

Unity vs. Separation
Make your decisions about unity instead of separation. In the beginning, this entire game started from what you know as the Big Bang. There are two scientific experiments on this planet now that have been in progress for many, many years. In fact, one of the experiements has already uncovered universal secrets and the scientists are not quite sure what they mean. It will not be long before you begin understanding more about this thing called the Big Bang and how the game was formed. If we simply give you the basis for it, you will understand where you are in the process right now.

From the instant of the Big Bang, everything expanded outward. Although your scientists still believe the universe is expanding, we told you some time ago that it has crossed dimensions and is now in the same movement coming back around, back together again. The out breath has begun; that which was separated to create the illusion of polarity on the gameboard is coming back together. That is the natural flow of energy in the universe. It is all about unity and finding the commonalities between each of you and honoring them. That is the first application you can use this for. Instead of focusing on the ways in which you are different from another person, country, culture or religion, you find the similarities that you share. Find the commonalities between all of you, and that will help to release this.

The Economic Re-Wire
If you look at the Universal Energy we explained as a bed sheet hanging on a line, when you poke your finger in it, it creates a bulge on the other side. That is cause and effect. It is very simple but the natural flow of the universe when you remove your finger is to pull it back together, or to come back to the neutral position. The universe is now shrinking, not expanding. As you put yourselves personally, collectively, corporately and governmentally in the flow of coming back together rather than separating, you will make it an easy shift. As long as you are separating, there will be challenges for now you are now in opposing Universal Energy. Five years ago you could do this with no ill effects whatsoever, but now that the collective vibration has reached a level where the bullshit tolerance is gone. There is no more space for you to weave outside of those lines. As a result, you are starting to see the economic re-set which has been spoken of for many years. The re-set does not need to be a great drama. It can be a fairly easy transition if you will find the hope and love in your heart, and if you will find that part of responsibility that you are going to take for your own life in whatever fashion you can. There is a miracle waiting to happen, dear ones, but we cannot create it for you, because it is not our game. It is yours.

We are here to reflect your hearts; we are here only to give you another view. Please do not give us your power either, for that would be just as wrong as giving it to the political leaders who got you into this mess. We ask you to hold your own power, even taking these things we say and running them through your own filters. Keep only those pieces that truly resonate with your heart and release the rest as simply not for you at this moment. The pieces you release are neither right nor wrong, good nor bad, they simply are not for you at this moment. Release them without judgment.

The more you can put yourselves into unifying principles even with your governments, the faster you can complete this economic re-wire. We will give you a very specific example. We mentioned this at the United Nations in Vienna when it was happening. The organization of governments called the European Union unites instead of separates. It is the same energy that made the United States the great nation and the economic superpower that it is. We tell you this simply so that you can see the energies that are isolating themselves, and the energies that are blending themselves together. Find a way to do that first in your own heart and your own lives, then elect those people who you believe will do exactly that.

The other thing is that when you hear those fear-based messages - for you will hear many of them - understand that fear and pain are great motivators on planet Earth. The irony is that when you get Home, you will re-member that pain as a beautiful human experience and you will say, "Do you re-member when you hurt me so badly? That was so much fun." And yet, you do not need to go through what is ahead. It is not necessary. You are the creators. When you hold a pure thought in your head for seven seconds, it manifests. When you hold a collective thought together it manifests immensely, for it is not 1, 2, 3, 4? It is exponential counting, so it goes 1, 10, 100, 1,000. It moves and amplifies in that fashion when you do things collectively. You are about to make several collective decisions in the United States of America. Do so for those people who you believe will be blending back together instead of separating, and please make your decisions out of love and knowledge, not out of fear. Do this and they will no longer have control of you. You will then create your own reality. Each and every one of you will do this, according to your wishes and dreams. That will make all planet Earth a great place to live again and will bring Heaven to Earth.

An Equal Distribution of Wealth?
Many of you believe that a market crash has to happen in order for a new economic system?one of fair and equal intent?that will distribute wealth equally all over the world. We tell you that this is not possible, dear ones, for wealth is a chosen attribute. Let us explain. There is a ladder we will simply call an economic ladder. Up here, you have wealthy people; down there, you have poor people. This is about money, dear ones, and it does not fit in any other place. You must understand our perception of money, for it is merely a reflection of a reflection. You treat it as an energy, but it is not. It is only a reflection of energy. Money is only a representation of exchange that you use to exchange energy. It has taken new proportions, for there are gaps and air bubbles. There are big balloons in your economic systems. Well, all the air is coming out of the balloon in one of those systems now. It is happening at great expense, but it does not need to happen for it is only perception of perception of perception. That is the economic structure on planet Earth at this time. Change your individual perceptions and you will start to change the collective perception. That can happen very quickly.

We find it interesting to watch your television. Some of your channels show only your financial news, because they are watching every second for an indicator to go this way so everybody can jump over here. Then they are waiting for an indicator to go that way, so that everybody can jump over there. It is perception of perception of perception. Pull yourself out of the game, take responsibility for yourself, and it will all change. That is what we came to tell you this day. We hope we give you hope and not fear, for it does not need to be negative. You can change all of it into the greatest structures around. It is not ever possible to get anything equally distributed on your planet, because individuals choose where they wish to be on the ladder. We tell you that one is not better than another for, there are lessons you can learn down here that you cannot learn up there. There are responsibilities up here that you may not be willing to take, so you may place yourself down there. There is no right or wrong, because all of it is a human experience that you decided to have. We just simply wish for you to find your joy and passion. You find that piece that resonates in your heart and you will create heaven right here. There will be no economic structures that distribute anything, for it will no longer be necessary to have those structures. That is when you become free of all of it.

Role Model: The 'Government' of Lemuria
Eventually you will return to the type of government that you had in the days of Lemuria, which was actually a form of non-government. During those great times, you were advanced souls. You did not have laws, but you had customs. If any individual decided not to follow the custom, they took full responsibility of whatever outcome it produced and they were grateful to do so. You were so advanced in those days you did not need the structures. That is what you are returning to, and that is why you are going through a re-set of energy right now.

New Energy Corporations
We tell you, dear ones, it is not the governments that have taken over your world. It is the corporations, but it is not out of fear. There is nothing to fear from a corporation; a corporation is only a collective of people. It is an economic base that has been formed for the sole purpose of bringing in more money. We will give you a suggestion about how you can change the face of the United States and the face of the planet in regard to that simple situation. Currently, you give the corporations on your planet more power than you do individuals. Slavery has been outlawed on Earth but yet corporations have been granted ownership over certain life forms. To be a corporation on this planet should be a privilege and not a right. The issuing government should deem that corporations put the good of humanity first before profit. Currently, if that were to happen in some of your large corporations, the stockholders would sue the corporations and win. Currently your laws say that corporations must make decisions based solely on profit. Change the definition of a corporation and make it an honor to be one. Make it something that they must live up to, and if any decision they make is against the public good then they can be called on it. Do this one thing and you will change all control on this planet overnight. We tell you the war machine will stop at that moment? We promise you that. Perhaps this may be the light in the darkness. If your governments are busy bailing out financial systems, they may not have enough money to engage in the business of war.

You have about had enough. We hope so. We hope humans have been pushed in a corner so much that they are now willing to come out creating. You have your chance right now. Change it. Shift it. Take responsibility. Know that we are right behind you, cheering you on every step of the way.

Dear ones, we love you more than you know. We are a part of you and you are a part of us. We are so honored to see you get to this stage, yet we can see the fear that may come on this planet as a result of that. We can see the cycles that start over and over again, doing tremendous damage and harm to something that you have put your hearts into and built for so long. Pull out. Change it. Start making all of your decisions based on hope and love, then laugh at the fear.

It is with the greatest of honor that we bring you this important message today. We hope the Keeper will forgive us for giving such a negative message, but it is truly a message of love and a message of hope for you are about to start a new game here on planet Earth. Enjoy the ride.

It is with the greatest of honor that we thank you for being here and remind you to treat each other with respect, nurture one another and play well together.

From Barbara:

Connecting the Heart
Feelings of Gratitude

As I am writing this message I am in Riga, Latvia. Steve is doing a day of sessions. I have the pleasure to greet each person with a hug as they come in for their special message from Steve and the group. Many of these people have just attended our two day seminar "Living in the 5th Dimension". It was a magical event so I feel a heart connection with each one of them. Last week was also full of magic when we presented "Sacred Relationshifts" in Moscow. Tomorrow we have a day of play to explore one of our favorite cities Riga, before flying home.

Life is full of joy. Steve and I often say to each other how lucky we feel to be living the life we have with each other. We are always traveling connecting our hearts to those we meet. I feel so full of love and appreciation.

A favorite quote from the Dalai Lama is "Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions." In day to day life we are often faced with challenges of all kinds. If we choose to approach anything with a positive perspective we can move through these situations with less stress. It helps to reach out to everyone you meet with a warm heart. By doing this most often you will feel their love and support in return. It is rewarding to share your lives with another, both the high and the low periods.

Begin your day with thankfulness for this beautiful world. This will give you a sense of well-being and gratitude. Here are some words that have inspired me. I hope you find them a good reminder as well.

• Think freely and with an open mind. Smile often.
• Tell those you love that you do.
• Rediscover old friends.
• Make new ones.
• Hope, grow and reach out.
• Pick or buy some flowers and share them.
• Keep a promise.
• Laugh heartily.
• Let someone into your life.
• Hug a child.
• Slow down by seeing a sunrise or sunset.
• Listen to the rain. Enjoy the warmth of the sunshine.
• Trust life and yourself. Have faith.
• Make mistakes and learn from them.
• Explore the unknown.
• Celebrate life!

With Love and Light,
Barbara

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

When I first started channeling The Group I didn't believe it to be channeling because it was such a natural process. It was as if they were speaking to me in my own voice, yet I was aware that there were several of them. From their perspective channeling is a natural process and not mystical at all. It's the art of listening and when you learn to listen, the information begins to gets very clear. This is a very grounded form of channeling.

One day I asked them who they were. They laughed lovingly and told me the answer to my question was threefold: It's none of my business. It's none of my business. And, it's none of my business.

My first reaction was fear as I thought entities not willing to identify themselves must not be of the light. Still, these messages were so wonderful that I could not stay away. I kept hearing this wonderful laughter and finally asked them why they would not answer me. They then offered me this: We wish you to discern the messages for the love content of the messages alone. This is exercising your own power through discernment instead of determining value because of a label placed on it. Discernment is the greatest expression of the God within you for it clearly uses your power to direct your own world. We offer you this as a tool: If it pulls at your heart strings then take it as your own. If there is anything less then leave it without judgment for it was placed there for another. Discernment is a tool they ask us to use in all areas of our lives, from who we allow in our fields to what we watch on television. To them this is so important that they embody this lesson in their own anonymity. After several months they finally agreed to let me call them simply "the Group".

They offer information for self empowerment and techniques for awakening those powers already within you. They are here to help those choosing to move into their joy and create their version of Heaven right here on Earth. They love to laugh and I provide them with lots of opportunities!
