2012 Brings Change and the ET's Part One

The following passages were revealed to a group of us during a channelling session.  Before I reveal the predictions that were given to our group about 25 + years ago, I would like to mention that these predictions were not meant to alarm us, but were meant to say that change is inevitable on earth.  This is not the first time that the earth has taken a turn or a rotation that causes life to change.

  The Piscerean Energy was from the solar plexus.  It was about moving us forward into a century that would lead to many improvements for mankind in order to make life easier.  This energy was introduced by the Teacher know as Jesus.   Much of what he has taught has been altered, and yet if you, the reader, can read between the lines you will find that the truth is still there. 

Mankind has not learned to live in harmony with one another.  Therefore Nature will balance itself so that man can be given a chance to correct this error and learn to live in peace .  The way we worship the God of our understanding should be allowed by all.  Who ever thought that we would kill over religious differences?   The American Indian  taught us to live in harmony with Nature, respecting the gifts of the earth and becoming responsible for the preservation of the lower animal kingdom.   Why  we leave trash in the oceans, poison the earth without worrying about the consequences is a puzzlement to me.   The humorous reminder for me is  that nature will balance itself.  We  often spend time worrying about the salamander and its mating season without taking care of our own.     This imbalance will be corrected. Only God can correct the mess that we have created.

As individuals what can we do?  Work on ourselves, try a little kindness with our neighbor, and accept that which is coming our way.......Change.  Enjoy this session.  It will likely be in two parts.  Judith

WILL THE EARTH SHIFT HAPPEN GRADUALLY OR ALL AT ONCE?

"The Earth will shift five degrees on its axis, and it will not be overnight.  It will be over a short period of time, preceded by earthquakes, volcanoes, and much turbulence on the Earth. The Earth shift will take approximately six months.  The changes are already occurring, and this is one thing that Henry( soul from the other side) was talking about here.  Look for the changes, they are already happening.  More so this will escalate in the next two years.  You will see more, as you will call it on your plane,  weirdness, a lot more "coincidence."  These signs are here for those to recognize them to know that the Earth is about to make a very drastic change.  As far as being gradual, six months is not a long time in the scheme of things.  And yet any way you want to describe it, it is either a sudden change or a gradual change depending upon how you view six months.   There are many things leading up to this.  The signs are here now.  Begin to look for these signs.  See them.  See them in nature.  See them in your Bible, because your books have written down all of the information that you need to see.  It is true that people have been looking for thesesigns for two thousand years or more.  They are right here, they are right now.  One of the things that comes from your Bible that we like to connect you with has to do with the verse that talks about, " In the end times, saith God, I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh and your sons and daughters shall prophesy.  Your young men shall see visions and your old men will dream dreams."  As the consciousness of the Earth plane becomes more open to metaphysical, as you call it, change or natural law as it is, people will become much more attuned, much more intuitive.  There will be no people left that are not working out of the light place of consciousness.   There will be no people left who are not telepathic, who are not attuned to the physical manifestation around them. the Earth, their bodies, the experiences that happen to go around them, their life experience.  The consciousness of the world is changing to that point, and also those who are not attuned will not see the signs, will not develop to the point of being able to survive and will simply die.  Do you understand that?  That was a very good questions.  We filter through your consciousness or your subconscious or whatever you will like to call it, but we give you or we communicate with you telepathically many of the things that you ask.  It is not a matter of sitting there and being original all the time.  We know what we want to talk about.  When we get here, we simply program it here and there and yonder, and many of you will have your questions answered before you ask them.  We are telepathically connected to you not only as we are doing this work through this channel, but many other times when we are unseen, invisible, or whatever you want to call it. We work on the waves through the atmosphere to send out vibrations and to send out though forms which are then perceived by you.  The people of the Earth, as they have grown in development, have become extremely intuitive and extremely aware of these thought forms although they don't always identify them as being spirit -related or, as you call us, ET.  You know we don't think we are "extra."  And our terrestrial is certainly not extra, but whatever you would like to call us, that is all right.  But we do send out thought forms and messages as radio waves would be, and then you pick them up in your brains and you think of things that way. "

Using Your Energy to Create Positive Change For 2012

2012 is enough in itself to keep all of us wondering what to do, and how can we help.   I always felt so insignificant when it came to thinking of my part globally.  This reminded of living on the end of the head of a needle or something like that.   If you believe that you have no part in this change, let me give you some suggestions  so that you to can become part of a positive change that  will help others as well as yourself. 

To begin with start always with self.  Not only your actions are important, but also your thoughts.  What you create in your mind whether you are aware of it or not sends energy out only to return back to you.  Understand this.  As this becomes part of your self .  This same idea applies to teaching your children to watch their thoughts as well.   Always reminding yourself that you are not in charge of this mission, but only a part of it.  Your job here is simply to teach the laws.  Your children will learn once they have been programed with the truth.  This may take some time to develop, but understand a thought is a thing so begin with the thinking as well as the actions. 

Everyone, including children, should always white light themselves when going out into the world.  Particularly when  we are reminded of how out of balance the world is around us.  We need all of the protection we can use during this time of change.   I simply wrap a imaginary white light around my body as if I were creating an invisible cocoon for me to have around me for protection.  It won't hurt for you to share this with your children  either.   " Like attracts like.  The person who fears and anticipates the negative attracts the negative.  If a person White Lights himself, much of the negativity can be repelled.  These are the things that children are not learning.  They need to learn these things in addition to other ways not to get hurt, or to hurt themselves.  In white lighting, you imagine a warm glowing energy field beginning at the feet, and wrapping itself around in a spiral way to enclose the entity to the top of the head.  This forms a magnetic protective barrier.  Teach a child the same as you would teach any person.  Children should be given more credit where their ability to understand energy and power.  They can see it more clearly than adults most of the time.  Also teach them that what they send out is what they get back.  This is true as it has always been and it will always be."  3/16/87 ( Channelled to the group)

WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT GIVING OR HELPING OTHER PEOPLE?

"Often, you may think that what you give is positive, but it may not be.  For instance to give and give to your children may not have been positive at all.  You may have done them no good deed by giving.  So what you perceive as being positive, may not be chronically so.  There is also a thing have to do with stopping the energy.  It is never good to give out all of your energy, to anything.  If you give, and give, and give and get nothing back, then stop it.  There is nothing negative about defending yourself.  There is nothing negative about stopping energy flows.  You are responsible for yourself, and your own flow only. 

My understanding of 2012 is that the door closes on the last of the Piscerean Energy.  Therefore using old ideas to get things done may not work.  Telling the truth means exactly that.  There are no white lies working under Aquarian Energy. 

Everything Changes, lifestyle, mind, attitudes

Hints that life would change first arrived to me via the church.  No one would explain Revelations to me or either discuss it.  I began to understand that no one really understood the subject, and the mystery continued.

 As a young adult I  would read other versions of what might be called predictions.  Jean Dixon's book,   The Gift of Prophecy, began my journey.  I was always seeking more information and explanations on these predictions  for the earth.    Most or the predictions pointed to change which meant  a form of  total collapse, total change, and a new beginning so man could live in peace and accept the differences of others.   I do not believe that the earth will end, but I do agree that this civilization which exist now will totally collapse bringing forth a new way to live and get along.

This research was hard for me to digest.  It was overwhelming to say the least, and all I could think of was to grow a garden.   Unfortunately I was not patient enough to learn how to garden in order to survive this great calamity, and to put it mildly, I was not really getting the "big picture" of it all.  So, I continued to research for the truth of it all, and the reality of the mess that we were creating here on earth.   I read books, had nightmares, drank a lot of wine and worried myself sick.

It was not until I met the many kindred spirits that went to channelling class  the lights began to ignite and with my increased education of the spiritual laws I learned to look for clues of changes in nature, both human and physical to see if what we were told was true.  Time has been the only inconsistency that I have noticed with the channelled information.   One presidential race was incorrect, but for all of three hundred pages of predictions, I find it  mind blowing to say the least how accurate these pages were.   And yes, I have still had several visitations from afar, so, I still hold to the truth that other systems still exist and will help when this earth disaster comes our way.  This following session deals with the early sessions about the changes coming to earth.  Watching people fight, bank failures occurring, countries going bankrupt, and the  churches here are showing signs of unraveling.  I have no doubt that these changes will be forthcoming soon as these are some of the symptoms.  We were never told "when", but we were told that Nostradamus should be read. 

Why do I post?   I post to help you learn with time the spiritual laws.  The law of truth,  balance, polarity, as above so below,  God of your understanding which is love, so that you might be able to navigate through your life on a daily basis with some form of sanity of it all.  Change is another Universal Law that is coming our way.  Life here is going to change get working and love this journey. 

The following concerns a passage concerning the food supply and the danger that we have created with chemical additives.

DOES ACID RAIN CREATE BIRTH DEFECTS?

"Acid rain is indeed present, as are many other things.  It happened.  We are surrounded by poisons.  They are in our food chain; they're everywhere.  To focus only acid rain is no good.  It is only one of many things  which, when together, are causing many problems.  Your thoughts have to do with birth defects with the babies are right.  But it is not only the acid rain, but the acid rain in combination with many other things.  The food on this earth is not pure.  It is contaminated in many, many ways.  So is the water.  It is only when these things are corrected that people will become healthier.  This correction is coming with the earth changes which  are on the way because nature must balance itself, and right now nature is very out of balance, this having to do with the acid rain and other things.  We have contaminated the earth.  But nature always balances itself."

WHAT ABOUT THE CONTAMINATED FOOD?  EXPLAIN  WHAT WE HAVE DONE WRONG?

"  Pollution:  the food is sprayed, gassed, waxed, dyed.  The ground it grows in is contaminated.  The seeds are even treated with chemicals before they become plants.  So in every aspect of the growth process which eventually turns into the food there is contamination.  In looking at the fish, the waters are polluted.  Looking at the bee, and the chicken, the lamb, and any other meat or poultry that you eat.  The feed has been treated with drugs, the water is polluted, the animal drinks, and many animals are given antibiotic shots as well as other kinds of shots which contaminate the meat.   So we see all around us contamination and poison.  All of these things are poison to our system.  There is very little pure food any place.  Even people who grow their own gardens and take pride in organically growing them will sometimes end up spraying them with poison so there is no place much to obtain food which is not contaminated in some way.  These things in addition to the acid rain.  So you're right.  There is a  problem of the acid rain, but it is only one part of the problem.  The problem is much larger and it does have to do with lowered I.Q. in general.  This Universe will either correct those things which are going wrong which it has caused to go wrong, or it will digress to another state of being."

 I wish to add that if considering the spiritual law As Above So Below.  We have also polluted our minds.  What have we been polluting our thinking with tales of horror, monster movies, and any kind of literature that promotes hate and destruction. 

I still maintain in the freedom of press and the right to publish.  However, remember that we are karmically responsible for our thoughts and our own actions.  Just because it is a movie or a book for entertainment understand here that the author is karmically held responsible for these truths.  This also applies to me, and believe you me I have always prayed that I be guided to be in the light of positive energy.  I make mistakes as well as any of you, the reader.  But I do not choose to read or see night mare stuff for the pure sake of entertainment.  I do not wish to cloud my mind or my children's minds with this garbage.  It serves the wrong purpose here.  You be the judge.  Is this not pollution?  I would love a comment on this subject.  

Yes, the earth  is in for a good cleansing.  Yes, many deaths may occur as a result.  Your job is to stay balanced,  help others, and work on cleaning up only what you have created that might need repair.  Remember, you cannot change others, you can only change yourself.  Take action.  TO  BE CONTINUED ON COMING EVENTS.

Learning about Rays, Evolvement, & The Difference Between Visions and Halllucinations

First  of all what I am proposing here takes some thought and some time.  But what I am encouraging  you to do is to begin your path by either accepting or rejecting old truths that no longer apply to your life.  This concept takes all commitment on your part, but understand that it too will take time.  My hope is that you will begin to open your own eyes and realize that some old traditions or beliefs are not necessarily beneficial for spiritual growth. 

Many changes are coming to earth in the next few years.  It is important  to use this opportunity as a means for spiritual growth.  To do this it is extremely important to meditate, pray, learn to change your thoughts, and understand that not always what others desire you to do or be may not always be the best for you.  It is up to all of us to be our authentic self.  We are all destined to learn in our own way, and in our own time.  Our responsibility here is to not re-create the mess that is now getting ready to force us to change.  Changing all types of behavior, habits that are not healthy, and discarding ideas that no longer serve our needs is primarily the purpose of life.  We are here to learn, to evolve, and help others.

From these post I have mentioned that souls came from different stars.  The main lesson of Earth is to learn to get along and accept the differences.  I can't think of a better way that to deal and accept the diffferent cultures that we live with.   Not mentioned are the different levels of evolvement that exist on earth.  We call them metaphysically different rays of learning.  This does not imply that they are less than, but it does show that all of us do not have the same earth experiences.  The following passages from the channelled session in l987.  This subject jumped from the power of the mind, the importance of receiving messages, and last but not least the rays and their influence.  Enjoy

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE HALLUCINATING OR RECEIVING MESSAGES?

" With practice, you learn the difference.  It takes trial and error to be able to feel the difference, and this is something that logic will not do for you.  One of the reasons that people receive messages that are not real or do not turn out is that it is not meant for the people of the Earth to rely totally and completely on messages.  Messages help, but to turn everything over to messages is not right because you are here on this level to learn and to experience and to develop your own judgment.  I have spoken of balance many times, and there must be balance between relying on messages andf relying on self and self-decisions.  The balance must be there.  Sometimes from the spirit world or the other world or from where ever, the messages are unclear or the messages are simply hallucinations or imagination.  Sometimes the frequency is off-balance becasuse it isn't meant for you to reason and to fail. With your failures come better reasson and better development.  This is why it is hard to tell you the difference between hallucinations and that which is a real valid message.  If you practice and continue to practice, you will feel the difference.  This is why not every prophecy is correct.  This is why from the other side, from the spirit world, you can receive much help, but they are not going to do it all for you, ever.  This is a level of learning  This Earth plane  is a learning plane, it is no vacation.  Do you understand?"

YES, WHO ARE WE SPEAKING WITH?

"We are speaking with a co-vibration of Laura.  If you need a name, my name is Henry.  But I am on Laura's level, and I am a counter/vibration or a co-vibration of Laura.  Laura and I emante from the same ray that is energy."

IS THAT THE SAME OVER-SOUL?

"That is correct"

WHEN YOU SPEAK OF EMANTING FROM A RAY, DOES THAT RAY HAVE A PARTICULAR COLOR ATTACHED TO IT?

"On lower levels, yes."

WHAT COLOR WOULD THAT BE?

"Our color is no color or a white which has all colors, but we come from the fourth level.  When this ray filters down to the Earth level or the level right above the earth level, yes, there are colors attached to it because the colors are there for identification.  There are  yellow ray people, there are red ray people, and there are purple ray people."

HERE ON EARTH?

"Yes."

WOULD THAT BE REFERRING TO DIFFERENT RACES?

" It has nothing to do with the races.  It has to do with the path that the person takes. "

CAN YOU SPEAK OF WHAT THE DIFFERENT COLORS MEAN THAT YOU SPOKE OF--THE PURPLE, THE RED, AND THE YELLOW?

"People on the yellow ray, who come into the Earth life have chosen a certain path to take, and they have certain personality characteristics that are unique to the yellow ray.  The red ray the same.  Red ray people are less evolved, they are learning lessons on a  lower level and this corresponds with your color of your chakras.  Red ray people are not as highly evolved, they are learning lessons on a lower level.  The yellow ray person is a little more reined, and a little more frightened because of past soul lessons that they have learned.  The purple ray is much more evolved.  But the purple rays are the teachers and sometimes are out of step or seemingly out of step with the rest of the people.  They frighten the other people.  Often times a purple ray person--and you must be careful who you look at and deem crazy or "off the wall," as you say, because often times those people are very highly evolved, and yet they are acting in a manner that is just not understood by the other people on the Earth.  Do you understand that?"

YES

"But they are teachers, no matter how they present themselves.  They are the teachers.  This is something that you and your society does that is not necessarily good.  There is a reason why it has evolved this way.  You tend to judge people by their appearanace, by how they behave, and what they do, and who they are in this world, and this is good because ususally you can do this if you understand the truth can come from anywhere and often times it will comes from the least likely sources"

SO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS THAT BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS FELT DIFFERENT, I COULD BE ONA PURPLE RAY?

"That is correct, and a teacher." 

Your Mind and Your Power Creating a Better World

My search for the truth led me down many different pathways.  The main conclusion that I wish to convey  to the world, is that the power needed for survival, evolvement, and understanding comes from within.  This power of course is from the God of your understanding.    Always remember that while on earth,  we experience these polar opposites  of  up/down, good/bad, pretty/ugly, healthy/ sick and whatever comes  into our lives.   There is choice navigating  our way through these lessons.  Using the spiritual laws to live life certainly makes existing on earth  more enjoyable.  You decide for yourself.  But remember practice  leads to improvement, and hopefully evolvement of our souls. 

I always thought that life was to be perfect.   While there is a plan for my life (darhma) that life has not always  been easy.  Every experience that I have had  has taught me something  about myself, and of course, helped me  prevent the experiences that certainly have not been pleasant by learning my part in the lesson, and changing my behavior.  As we say in recovery," Stop the insanity of doing the same thing over and over again,  and getting the same results".  

Now that we are arriving down to the wire with 2012, I was reminded of what I had been told in channelling about preparing for the changes.  I thought that you, the reader,  might enjoy what was told to me. 

July 6, 1987......from the Guides by way of the channel.

" There is a need to pay attention, not only to the words that are being said, but also there is a need to pay attention to that which is going on in the Universe around you.  You and people in general are not listening and not hearing.  Time is passing very quickly here.  There is a need for much learning that must transpire in order to prepare for the changes that are coming.  There is a need to know and to understand energy, totally and completely; and at this time, it is not understood.  There are many who talk about it, there are few who practice.   The test is to practice and to use these things because they work, and because they can help you now.  It is not necessary to wait until the time of the Earth shift to use these principles of energy.  In fact, there is a very strong need to use these now, so that when the time comes, you will need to use them to save your lives.  It will be second-nature to you, not something that needs instruction.  Do you understand that?  There is a need to use the laws, the laws being: a total understanding of energy and how it works.  There is a law having to do with, "As above, so below," and what happens on one level of being happens on every level of being.  If you were to start understanding this, you would begin to know that through your mind, and through your thought forms you can transform that which is around you, that which is higher and lower.  This affects the vibrations of the world.  As above, so below.  Meditate on this until you understand it because there is a need to understand this.  Many of you here or most of you here are not cognizant of the fact that what you think can and will things for you.  Do not think of your thoughts, your mind, and you being as being insignificant because it is very significant in all that it can accomplish, and all that your energy can do to change your life experience, now, during and after the shift.  Do you understand that?"

I THINK SO.  IS THIS ENERGY THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THROUGH MY HANDS  THIS SAME ENERGY?   I HAVE BEEN HAVING EAR ACHES AND HAVE USED
MY HANDS TO WORK WITH THIS ENERGY  AS WELL AS  MY THOUGHTS TO HELP ME HEAL MY EARS.  IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE REFERRING TO?

" In a way, yes, that is one thing.  As above, so below is a universal law.  It has to do with everything.  For instance, it is how things connect.  One throws a pebble into a lake, it makes waves, the waves move the Earth, so one thing affects another."

SO, WHAT YOU SAY IS TO WATCH WHAT YOU THINK?

"It will affect the levels above you and the levels below you, yes.  Do positive, think positive, which is the more important?  People at this time tend to think it is more what you do than what you think that is important.  That is not true.   The two energy forms of thinking and doing are equal. 

*  I might add that I use my thoughts to locate objects that are missing.   I will focus upon whatever it is that I wish to find,  tell myself that I can find it with my mind, and I am continually surprised at where some of these objects re-appear.   This is good practice for all of us.  Do not give  into the energy that this hard to do.  Just focus on "can".

*Another example here is to not focus on frightful or horrific stories by feeding into them, paying money to watch them, or talking about them.  I give no energy to stuff that no longer works for me.  Why give energy to a sick soul who is doing horrific things to his fellow man.  This is the kind of sick thinking that just no longer feels right to me.  Let the justice department solve the problem.  Or to put it another way, do not feed into your fears.  It simply is not healthy for any of us. 

Biblical Truths Real or Fiction. More About Truths

I, like many of you, often do not realize how hard it is to change one's behavior, or more difficult, change old habits   I have worked on this for many years, and even on a daily basis I am reminded of this simple truth.  I am not yet there with all that I need to do in order to change.  Somewhat deflating, but healthy to at least recognize that I am still in the game of making choices, and there is always need for improvement. 

This message in this post is about the axis shift,  and some of the changes in our Bible today that were  part of our Biblical history.  Why certain information was deleted in the early Bible, and now why it is important to once more understand the concept of reincarnation.

 Looking back into time, just changing my mind about  reincarnation kept me wound up for days into months.  So if this is difficult for you to accept, that is okay with me.  I understand .    For me using the concept of reincarnation to accept the differences in others and allowing these differences to be accepted are necessary for all of us to evolve.  It would be horrific if we were all alike wouldn't it?

Accepting the differences in others and allowing them their challenges without judgement is perhaps the hardest challenge for us all.  Certainly this is true of me.  Enjoy this reading from the ET's to you.

AFTER THE SHIFT OCCURS, WILL MAN REVISE THE BIBLE AND MAKE IT SIMPLER?

" No, you will take it with you and use it as a tool.  I see that it will be used the way it is because it is very powerful.  They got it together, and then it has begun to fall apart a little bit, but it is still a very powerful work and it does not need to be revised."

DO WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT TRUTHS?

" Yes, It is not all the same.  Truth is immutable, but you also do have your own truth, and you must interpret the world by what is true for you.  It might not be any ones truth, and everyone  is entitled to their own truth.  You have no right to impose your truth on another person.  If another person ask you to teach them or to share your truth with them, then feel free to do so.  Never get into the idea that you are right and the rest of the world is wrong because that is simply not true.  There are many truths and they have to do with how we perceive in the world in which we live, and what we need at this time.  Truth is determined by the vibration that you need here.  There are some things that are totally immutable truths.  If you will look, you will find most religions saying some of the same things, especially having to do with love and energy and universal sharing and this sort of thing.  You will find this in many places.  If this feels right in your heart, then you must know that this is the truth.  It is the root of many different religions.  Just because it is the root of many different religions also does not make it true unless it connects to you through your heart.  Start out in darkness, and stay there until you know, and when you know, no one else can take it away from you.  It is then your truth. "

IS IT TRUE THAT PARTS OF THE  ORIGINAL BIBLE WERE DELETED OR REMOVED?

"There are many more parts, and there were parts that were taken out of the Bible by the churches because people were not doing splendidly here as long as they thought there was reincarnation.  They didn't especially want to do better.  They just thought, "Catch you next time".  The churches took out the concept of reincarnation and references to that because they needed the people to do better this time.  While that was deceiving the people, you must understand that at that time the people were lowly evolved and were on a level of understanding that they did not understand : they had to be told.  It was the best way of dealing with them.  There were reasons here in organizing it that way.  One was  that they were really trying to help the people to improve.  Two, they figured out early on, they could control the people's money better if they gave them a lot of fear.  It was based on fear, but then the other part of that is that the people didn't understand  any thing.   Had the people been higher evolved, they wouldn't have gotten into this fear concept."

ARE THERE SOME PARTS OF THE BIBLE  THAT HAVE BEEN LOST THAT WILL RETURN TO US AFTER THE SHIFT OF THE EARTH?

"About the concept of reincarnation? "

WELL, THOSE PARTS THAT WERE TAKEN OUT OF THE BIBLE.

"Some have already been found, yes.  Learn the truth, it is a very difficult lesson and yet it is very simple.  Do not be deceptive to yourself or to others, and learn what truth is.  It is a wise person who can live by the truth, but it is also very courageous."
