All Roads Lead to Rome, but Carpe Diem Anyway
Gaia/Mother Earth through Pepper Lewis - May 2003 |
Dear Readers,
The current shifting of paradigms and energies can throw us off center rather easily these days. Our purpose is sometimes difficult to define and our truth lies somewhere between fact and fiction or illusion and reality. Gaia says we are living in a distortion and that nothing is exactly as it seems. As news broke that the war in Iraq had begun I found myself riveted to my television, unable to look away or change the channel. I told myself that this was not my reality, not a choice I was willing to make, but the next day found me doing the same. By the third day I was watching the news from my bed, because I had begun to feel ill. I felt fatigue, stress and various other symptoms brought on by my being captured by the television. In my own way I had allowed myself to become a prisoner of war, a POW just like the ones I saw on TV.
On the fourth day, Gaia asked me if I was planning to become a casualty of war or a victim of circumstantial evidence. I wasn't sure what she meant, but I said, no because it sounded better than yes. She reminded me that while it was all right to participate in many realities and try on many pairs of shoes, I need not claim them as my own. She went on to explain that my health and vitality were linked to my willingness to walk my own path and experience my own purpose. In essence, as I slowly abandoned my truth, my ability to maintain balance and wellness was abandoning me. I asked Gaia if others were feeling as poorly as I was and she said, yes. What can we do, I asked. She told me to hold fast to the reigns of my vehicle of light as if it were the saddle on a majestic horse, and then to ride the wave of light in the direction of the sunrise rather than the sunset that was drawing me down. It sounded a bit poetic and simplistic, but I did as she suggested and by that afternoon I was up and around again.
A few days later, Gaia asked me to arrange an evening of channeling in order to address the concerns of the war and other relevant topics. Her exact words were, "please arrange a council of those willing to ask the questions that others can not or will not. Make certain that the foundation is broad and that opposition and resistance are as well represented as friendships and allies." I knew that she was demonstrating her willingness to be presented with difficult and challenging questions, and in her own way she was preparing me to do the same. The following is a transcript of that evening. Additional questions and answers from a later date have been included in an effort to offer the most up to date information.
Always,
Pepper
Gaia: I extend a warm welcome to those gathered here this evening and to those who will join these words later on. I have come prepared to offer the fullness of that which I am, but in return I will ask the same of you. I ask that you be fully present in your hearts and in your bodies, that you represent yourselves well and in wellness. Take the best and the most of what I offer, but give the same in return. Be the same in your daily activities and your evening meditations. Your presence here affords an opportunity to ask questions that others will not or cannot. Therefore, dare to share the thoughts that you have been saving for the kinship of a private moment with those of your own spirit. I have invited you for this very purpose. Refreshments suggestive of a social gathering await you, but there is a greater purpose in coming together this evening and it must not be overlooked.
The purpose of this gathering is a simple one. It is to actualize a relationship that will create a consciousness called unity. If gatherings such as these were now taking place around the globe and around the clock, little would be done or said that was not in the spirit of friendship and communion. This gathering and others like it will begin to recognize a power called socialized action, a broad and creative expression that blends the self with the selfless. Those whom history recalls as the founding fathers of this country [United States] gathered in such a way. They came together in agreement and disagreement, in secret and in public. By candlelight they peered into subjects that would otherwise not have seen the light of day.
The Earth does not belong to you but it is yours. This room does not belong to you but it is yours this evening. This community is also yours and your life is most certainly your own. If so much is under your care and direction, why are so many lives about to be surrendered? What is more precious than life? The purpose of this evening is to discover how to recover life rather than surrender it. Your purpose tomorrow will be to seek fulfillment, understanding and unfoldment. Purpose and reality can and must create purposeful experiential reality. If not, purposeless reality will collapse into the emptiness called uncreated.
To all who protest the current reality I offer words that include both praise and caution. Destiny will assist you to design your desires, but not because you protest what you do not abide. In order to experience the light of your desire, you must ignite the passion that will free it from the stronghold where it has been closely guarded. Be a living example of your own light rather than protesting the darkness that still exists within others. War is one extreme; it can be found at the far end of the spectrum. It may surprise you to know that peace is another extreme; it resides at the opposite end of the spectrum. Both are aspects of spectrum called polarity, and both are in a state of decay and near collapse. Peace is not better than war; it is simply its opposite. Peace is the absence of war, conflict or hostility. It is an attitude or understanding based upon a partial or limited vision of truth. Peace is unilateral, not multilateral. One person's definition of peace is often different than another's and the line between a hero and a villain is often blurred. In the absence of one mind and one heart the battle often continues to rage within even when it does not manifest without. A battlefield will always exist where unrest spans the distance between duality and oneness; where opposites oppose there can only be the illusion of peace. That which passes for peace today is little more than ignorance temporarily replacing agitation. Resolution lies in unity and balance, in neutrality and in compassion. If polarity was placed on scales and made to be in balance war would be on one side and peace would be on the other. They would be equal, do you see? Not better or worse, just equal. Objectivity and unity can only be experienced when both sides are moved into the center, which shifts the entire balance of power, not just one side. Those who fear this shift call it a pole shift or a cataclysm, but is it?
I ask you to think broadly and speak openly, to consider this subject and many others as well. Know that you represent those who cannot or will not say what is within the heart or upon the mind. For a variety of reasons that include fear, doubt, prejudice, religious or political zeal, apathy and cynicism, important questions are not being asked. Collectively, you comprise a forum or council that bears a certain responsibility. This responsibility is not to be borne upon your shoulders as a burden or a liability, but as a state of authority within a place of accountability. With that being said, I offer the floor and my counsel to all who wish to speak.
Many people in the world are wondering why the government of the United States is so hell-bent on attacking Iraq. Could you talk about that, please?
Indeed. To put it bluntly, Iraq is attackable. It is the country most willing to be attacked. One country [US] is as you say, hell-bent on attacking another. On the polarity/duality scale that was referenced earlier, Iraq is that country. Its dictatorship is the most hated and despised at this time. As far as auditions go, his was the most believable. There is worldwide agreement on this. At first glance it would seem that the world has found the two players most willing to reenact the roles that exemplify the classic battle between light and dark. A second look may prove different. Who or what is light? Does light really attack dark? Can dark attack dark or light attack light? These questions cannot be answered now because they are experiential in context, but perhaps it is appropriate to say that the answers are hiding in plain sight. That which is hidden will be revealed. Those who search the desert for treasure will find it and those who search the desert for truth will find that as well.
Is "treasure" your word for resources such as oil, or is there another form of treasure that is hidden or buried in Iraq? It whets my curiosity to know what our government is so eager to get hold of.
It is important to begin to think in broader terms than one government or country seeking the spoils of another. This is not about one country or one being; it is not about good guys and bad guys. It is about energies. There are energies that desire one movement or direction and there are energies that would prefer a different understanding. The battle is one of duality and the spoils of war lie beyond the boundaries of one country or one dictator. The treasure was left here long ago by another race of beings and so was the truth. Both are being actively sought at this time. Ideally, each energy would like to own and control the treasure and the truth.
Iraq was a garden long ago, a vast and important one historically speaking. A garden can support a variety of species-some varieties grow and some varieties destroy that which grows. Energetically, the Iraqi desert still remembers that it is a garden. The treasure and the spoils are both the garden and the contents of the garden. In other words, some of the treasure is physical and some is non-physical, some of it is accessible and some is not. Fossil fuels are certainly useful to your generation, but they are limited in scope and duration. In order to discover the treasure you must think as one who seeks it. Think as one who will conquer in order to gain, to have, to own and to control.
I tend to think of treasure as buried, especially if it has been there for a long time. I have heard that there are many underground tunnels in Iraq. Is the treasure there?
In a manner of speaking, yes. There are secrets underground and the secrets are the keys to the treasure. The difficulty remains in putting all the pieces together and this is not an easy task. It is obvious that those who seek the treasure are willing to sacrifice a government, a people, and a desert in order to attain it.
Is the treasure that you refer to a technology of some kind? If so, how does that fit into our history?
The term treasure is a relative or subjective one, just as beauty and art are individual and subjective. In this case, buried treasure implies both truth and power. Power lies in the ability to control, disseminate or hide truth. Truth lies buried but can just as easily be unburied. Yes, technology is a large aspect of the treasure trove and there are currently at least two interested parties bidding for it. There are off-planet interests as well, but they are choosing to remain on the silent sidelines for the time being. The technology is not new; by galactic standards it is quite ancient. It was left here long ago, safely tucked away or so it was thought. Those who left it behind did not think in terms of padlocks or childproof locks. They did not believe a simple race of beings (humans) would think or act in such a way, but interested parties have been able to decode a schematic that may make the technology operational. Energetic wave bands of acceleration and evolution expand in all directions and eventually reach all worlds and all beings. Acceleration is not selective and it is not destructive, it simply Is. Acceleration applies to all areas of thought and experience - spirituality and technology are both quickened, light and dark are both activated, the past and the future are experienced in the now. Acceleration is affecting humanity in a variety of ways, some feel anxious and harried while others feel dispassionate and disenfranchised. Depression, hopelessness, aggression and other states of mind are common as well. It is important to remember that these are states of mind but not states of consciousness, the mind understands itself as separate while consciousness seeks to unite and expand.
The technology/treasure is a substance. When stable it has many uses, some of them humanitarian and ecological. Currently it is unstable, which makes it dangerous for children who do not understand that they are playing with fire. Those who search for the treasure have a variety of motives for doing so; those who would prevent or preempt the discovery have motives of their own. The race is on to see who will discover it first. Interestingly, each faction is working from a different set of clues because there is more than one interpretation or understanding depending upon the original premise or hypothesis. Neither faction knows how to master the technology and their knowledge is rudimentary at best, they have each had successes and failures in their attempts thus far and are even now scrambling to read and decode further data. The data is encoded or embedded within a language that can be interpreted in a variety of different ways. The encoding was designed to be purposeful and multi-dimensional. It is open to conjecture, interpretation and misinterpretation. Perhaps it is an educational tool as much as it is a technology. Those who seek it received assistance from another race, but there must be honor even among thieves and that is no more. "What is the harm," they thought, "in a little experiment here and there? What is the harm if we by chance discover another use?" But a violation is a violation and a bond, however thin, was broken. It is wise not to bight the hand that feeds, they say. Now there is no more assistance to be had at any price, so they are scrambling about in an attempt to discover what they can remember and what they can rebuild. In all fairness they have accomplished much, but their job is not complete and without the missing pieces they are at a standstill. Can you now guess who has what hidden where and why there is a rush to get from here to there as quickly as possible?
Did the recent Columbia incident have something to do with this technology?
Indeed, yes. It was one of the tests that backfired. They assumed the technology would work, but it did not. They took an unstable element into space, a safe distance they thought. From space they thought that they could use the aspects that they already understood to locate and access what they still lacked. But their understanding was not precise or perfect and the substance became unstable in space. When it was reintroduced into the atmosphere its properties could not be sustained. This unfortunate event could have been prevented, but it was not. Radiation was released and a sequence of unavoidable events led to demise of the shuttlecraft.
About a year ago you referred to a nuclear explosion that would most likely occur. I remember you said it would not happen in any predictable way. Is this what you were referring to?
Yes. The indication was that all eyes would be focused elsewhere and that stripping this country or that one of its weapons or its power would be of little consequence in avoiding what would happen in due course.
What do you need us to do in order to save the planet and ourselves?
Rephrase your question from a place of power and I will answer it.
What should we do to reestablish peace, harmony and justice?
Rephrase your question so that it acknowledges your wisdom and mine and I will answer it.
What can we do to further our understanding and continue our evolution as whole beings?
Thank You. Choose to be what you are in the highest and most purposeful expression that is available in each moment. Choose a deeper awareness of self, selflessness and partnership with everything that is physical and non-physical. Locate the true source of wisdom within you so that you can express it without as well. Do not follow when you can lead and do not lead if you do not know where you are going. Align with Source /All That Is and you will discover your own true nature.
Gaia, many of us in this country [United States] are afraid that our government is becoming a lot like Nazi Germany was. I love this country, but I share that concern. Would you be willing to offer some guidance on this subject?
The United States will not embrace the Nazi way. After all, that campaign ultimately failed and those who currently rule have no intention of failing. Think broadly now, and follow your thoughts backward in time. It is the Roman Empire that rises again from the past. The eagle flies again, but this time it will encounter the phoenix, which has recently renewed itself in the ashes. The legions of Rome will be active once again and the flag of the Eagle will uniform the soldiers. The legions will move from one land to another, directed by the one who would crown himself emperor. But take heart and umbrage, those who would crown themselves are often of small mind and even smaller heart. A fairy tale once described an emperor who went naked before the masses because he thought himself clothed in fine but invisible spun gold. This one will be no different, but one must look beyond the present moment in order to see that. If you look with eyes of fear or disgust you will miss the humor and the satire in the tale and it's telling. What the world has not yet done, cannot yet be undone. The world has temporarily empowered this one to act as head of state and so he does. He draws his power from those who offer it and many do. He seizes power from those who fear it and many do. When his totem, the eagle rejects him, others will reject him as well. When the eagle no longer flies by his side another symbol will represent America and another man as well.
Will the United States still be a democracy?
It will be a democracy of aristocracy that dies in atrocity. A country must honor its soul and follow its path in order to thrive rather than survive. This is the prime directive of all living things. The United States must stand united, but they do not. They pull and tug and struggle to stay above board or above water in all affairs. Without spirit or soul it cannot see its poor reflection in the mirror.
What will eventually replace democracy?
In the throes of death democracy will finally call upon and acknowledge sovereignty. In sovereignty there is little need for democracy. One is sovereign unto oneself and within One Self. Allegiance is offered to that which is, to all who are, and to All That Is.
Do we have to transcend the ego in order to become sovereign?
The ego is simply that which currently assists the mind. Sovereignty already exists within beingness because it exists at the soul level rather than the personality level. Soul directed sovereignty will empower the being when the mind is no longer required to assume the burdens that it now carries. Sovereignty already exists within humanity, but there is no source of power aligned with it. It is like a very bright light, but the switch is currently in the "off" position.
There are many peace demonstrations taking place all over the world right now. Are they helping to move us in the direction of harmony and balance?
Many of those who demonstrate for peace demonstrate very little peace in their own life. Today they wear an appropriate banner and the purpose for which they parade is grand. But what about yesterday and tomorrow, was there not purpose in family and will there not be structure in community? One must hold up one's personal banner of peace alongside one's contempt of war. Those who hold a banner in higher esteem than their neighbor do not yet see all life as sacred. Demonstrate peace and you will have no need to demonstrate for peace. Unite rather than separate, rally together rather than rail against one another. I do not offer these words to disenchant or disenfranchise those who have chosen to offer themselves in this way for their purpose is well suited to their needs. Those who parade today, do so to complete an incomplete past, even where the children are concerned this is true. Eventually, demonstrations of peace will come from a deeper source. Other ways to express displeasure will become obvious and more useful than those that present themselves today. When demanding others to choose peace it is wise to ask the same of oneself, privately and publicly.
I feel danger and sense fear regarding our government and the subject of democracy. Can you elaborate on that?
Fear will not help you navigate this form of turbulence, but acknowledging that there is fear surrounding it may. The government is simply the long arm of the law. The law is still the law of attraction regardless of how it manifests. Remember that before you react to the energetic choices that are put to you, remember that you have a choice. The government is the manifestation of humanity's belief in abundance of authority and lack of power. It directs energy that is equal but opposite to personal empowerment and sovereignty. If alignment were empowering, then the energy of government would seek to misalign you. If balance is power, then imbalance would keep you in lack of power, do you see? Opposition to what is natural is the current weapon of choice, which is why there is so much disrespect and obliteration of natural recourses and natural laws at this time. Stress, economic hardship, war, and other burdens also oppose that which is natural. As long as you are off center or out of balance your fullness cannot be restored. Once you choose the restoration and expression of your natural fullness your health and well-being will increase and you will feel more creative.
Would it help our ability to become sovereign if we remove ourselves from participating in the illusion of democracy? Would it help to balance or rebalance the planet? Is there anything we can or should do to resist the one who would name himself emperor?
It is best to release the resistance you hold within you to the degree that you can. Resistance is resistance, to who or what does not matter. In one sense when you resist what is you also resist the means to change it. The energy of resistance pushes and pulls, it does not flow in any direction. Many believe that lack of resistance equals agreement, but that is not so. Resistance equals struggle and lack of resistance equals allowance, which makes all forces and possibilities equal and creative. Resistance calls upon all your resources to be in reaction instead of action or creativity. A reactive mind cannot be actively creative or in balance. Wherever and whenever you hold a resistant stance the earth does as well because it is your complement. Likewise, whenever you release the need to control or resist the planet and its resources benefit as well. Your body benefits because resistance and density are closely related to one another. As you release your obligations to be in resistance, denial, obligation and doubt others will be obvious beneficiaries. The lighter the thought, the lighter the body - substance always follows thought. A lighter thought equals a more enlightened path for you and for others.
If you would resist the emperor, do so with laughter rather than anger. He is not funny but he is humorous, your comedians seem to think so, at least. If you cannot laugh than perhaps you can sing. Sing songs of peace by yourself or with others. Sing to your body and to your soul, both will reap immense and immediate benefits. Singing sparks creativity and relieves stress. It frees the child within to play and instills within the mind a sweet surrender to the soul, one that aligns but does not capitulate. Singing and humming restore balance and release impurities because they are whole activities; they create and complete a circuit for both the body and the mind. When you hum, for instance, the mind creates it, the heart delights in it, the body participates in it and the auric field receives it and transmits it. This simple act creates a vibrational correspondence with wholeness, which makes what is less than whole less attractive and disruptive to your energetic field.
Television, talk radio, and most music are not whole or purposeful; it is a distraction and a disruption that allows imbalanced frequencies and thoughts to easily penetrate your auric field. Think back to those who were enslaved and indentured, think upon your own lifetimes if you can. Remember the healing benefits of singing, humming and meditating to vibrations and wordless sounds. These whole movements and moments can free a mind from a captive body. These methods are both timely and timeless. Following a dream or a purpose from beginning to end has a similar restorative quality. In terms of the emperor, his platform is not as firm as it would seem and his wardrobe not as grand as he believes.
I feel a great sense of frustration in how our personal resources are being used. For instance, I do not like the fact that I am helping to fund this war. Is there a way that we can choose not to participate in this activity such as removing ourselves from the tax rolls?
This is certainly a choice, but from a viable standpoint it would be best to wait until there is more agreement and structure in place. If you make this choice now, it will more than likely be accompanied by a dear of discovery or persecution. It would not be an empowered choice, do you see? There will be a time in the near future that will empower and instill confidence within those who make this choice. They will inspire others in similar ways and fear will no longer hold them in reserve. When you no longer fear the effect of your decision you will know that it is appropriate to pay the emperor his due and no more. Other methods of redistributing wealth and resources will also be presented and some will have merit. It is best to participate in these rather than withdraw from the process entirely. Changes are forthcoming in this area and in many others. There will be different ways to direct how your monies are spent within the economic structure you choose to participate in. There will also be changes made within investment structures and monetary policies. Individually and collectively the population will discover that it has more power than it yielded or wielded before.
We've touched upon so many topics this evening . . . . choices, new scientific technologies, wars, sovereignty and emperors. So many of these subjects seem to involve self-imposed barriers that we've placed upon ourselves. This pattern seems to have played out century upon century. Why would we have done this to begin with?
It is one way to grow and to evolve. Many choices were and are considered moment-by-moment, from a certain perspective it is the least interesting of all choices, yet it received the most votes. Your last presidential election is a perfect example of this phenomenon. He was also described as the least pleasing of all choices, but by hook or by crook he garnered the most votes. Experience is like that; it is what becomes reality when another reality is not chosen. If the higher road is not chosen, the lower road inevitably is. This choice did not originate here on Earth; it was a decision made elsewhere but experienced here. It was brought here and allowed here because it is an environment that invites free will. The experience or experiment continued here for the same reason. Humanity did not choose this path, but it chose to continue to participate in it. It did not remove itself from the experience so it became somewhat blinded by it; an unwilling or unwitting participant.
What was happening at the time other choices were being considered?
It was seen as an opportunity, but it was only outlined. In other words, it was painted with very broad-brush strokes that left much room for interpretation and experience. It was not envisioned that it would go on as long as it has. It was not envisioned that it would be a battle between forces of light and dark as it is described and experienced by some, that was added later. It was simply a choice; an experience. Every day you make decisions that will result in beginnings and endings, this was no different. It is important to remember that only one aspect of you understands this choice as having been imposed upon you; other aspects of you remember it differently. There is divine grace and order that ensures that eventually you will see, know and understand all that you are, even the parts that you would deny today.
Will the United Nations be in wreck and ruin by what the Bush administration is about to do?
The United Nations has placed itself on a collision course with an explosive reality that will not offer it choice platform on which to stand. If as a body it cannot find the means to course correct, it will falter and then wreck. They have put a stamp of disapproval upon themselves by not acting in the spirit and charter of their authority. It is important to note that they did not come together as one body representative of peace, but as many individual agendas that happened to include one or more versions of peace. Fear, political allegiance, contraband, financial necessity and a series of tragic compromises have pitted a council of representatives against itself. The United Nations envisioned and prepared for many moments, but not this one. It knew that it would at times bully others into submission or surrender, but it did not know that a bigger bully would bring it to its knees and so easily, too. Safety and power in rank and sheer number they thought, but the balance of power had already shifted to one of volume and financial blackmail.
Its ability to survive rests in its ability to act as one body and to resuscitate its purpose by envisioning a different future than the one that has been proposed by those who wield the most power. Currently, it is outmanned and outgunned in almost every way. Those who call themselves representatives can barely represent their own nation, much less a body called the United Nations. As an entity it must decide whether it will live or die and in what way or by what hand. Is it a body of knowledge? Is it a body of government? Is it the puppet front of individual nations or the representative body of many nations? The United Nations must evolve or it will dissolve. Some already believe that it may have outlived its usefulness. If another body readies itself as a replacement, then it may very well be the case. The ability of the United Nations to survive is dependent upon the ability of its member nations to thrive. It will become united when and if the world's nations become united. Its purpose can unfold and rebound in a new season of purpose and growth if it becomes a body of wisdom rather than the strong arm of one country or one being.
What effect will the invasion of Iraq by the US have on the Middle East? Will Syria and Iran be next?
The invasion of Iraq will be smooth and easy. Possession will pass from one owner (ruler) to the next as quickly as escrow is closed upon the sale of any other property. Iraq will be assimilated into the mainstream consciousness of the world. It will be rebuilt, modernized and industrialized. In the future a great university will be built there and many will choose to study there. It will continue to be the land of secrets, as many will lay buried there for some time. Iraq will be rebuilt as no country in history has ever been. It will be chosen as the seat of power one day, but that seat will not be filled. The Middle East will continue to know unrest; it is ungovernable, at least for the time being. Many plans will be proposed, none will be well thought out or balanced. The seat of power is corrupt there and it cannot be recovered. The Middle East will be opposed and defended on all sides; blood and tears will continue to be shed. Syria and Iran will be licking their wounds for a time. They quite enjoyed sitting on the sidelines while their neighbor took the world stage. They hated him and envied him and supported him because who else would? Now they will be called up as well, they will be interrogated, ridiculed, threatened and courted. Their response will determine what happens next.
What happened to Saddam Hussein?
He is vacationing underground. His contract is complete. He has played his part well and will now receive the reward he was promised. The curtain has closed on him for the time being. The world stage has little patience for players who tire of playing. Remember the comic books and the cartoons? A hero is only a hero as long as there is a bad guy to oppose. Superman created a need for himself in Metropolis; otherwise he would have been standing in the unemployment line along with the other heroes who had outlived their usefulness.
What will happen with North Korea's nuclear program?
It is proceeding as planned with the blessing of those who support it. By the time it is operational it will be obsolete because the treasure will have been fully discovered and translated by then. New technology will make nuclear technology obsolete. All the monies and agendas that were funneled in that direction made for an interesting sidebar, but little else. Technology will soon be weaponized but it is wise not to underestimate the power of a disgruntled despot.
Will there be a multilateral international effort to attack the US in years to come?
Yes, but not as you now imagine it. The US will be safeguarded and protected on all sides. Its military will be prepared and advanced. It will continue to make alliances and partnerships. Eventually in will be infiltrated but it will not know how or where. It will fear even its own shadow and the shadow of its shadow. The game will be turned inside out and from front to back. The branches of government will not trust each other or themselves. Yesterday's secrets will become today's headlines and today's headlines will become tomorrow's obituaries. Today power corrupts, tomorrow power will be fatal. The enemy of the state is not the Middle East or the Far East, it is fear. Eventually, false power will succumb to fear, and eventually, true power will overcome fear.
How much of the earth will George Bush destroy before he is stopped?
He will destroy as much as you will allow him to. He is as aspect of you and of everyone else. He embodies and represents all of the aspects that you do not wish to embody or represent. All that he is you have also been or have contemplated becoming or have enabled, empowered or assisted others in becoming. He is a mirror that you must look at and like it or not, there are aspects of you represented there. His path and yours are entwined, at least for the current moment.
Will George Bush be re-elected?
Possibly. It will depend upon whether humanity hungers for war or tires of it, because this president will not tire of it. It will depend upon the true definition of a patriot and a citizen. It will depend upon the rest of the world, because this election more than any other will be influenced by the citizens of the world even if it is only the citizens of the United States that are eligible to vote. There will most likely be the largest voter turnout on record. The 2004 election will be pivotal for the years that lead into the transition of 2012.
Will Pope John's peace plan get anywhere?
No. Not at this time. His voice will not be heard above the cacophony of other voices and agendas. The scandals that have ravaged the Vatican's court have silenced voices that would otherwise rise in power. This was foreseen and engineered accordingly by those who whisper in the halls of injustice. The current pope has not passed the scepter to another because he is the last of his line and the last of his kind. There will not be another, not in the same way. The Christian church will replace the Catholic Church in position and power. Another, newer or younger pope is not a viable solution and the current pope knows this.
I can't make sense of terrorism, can you? What it is about? Why is it here at this time? What lesson are we supposed to learn from it?
A terrorist is someone who is afraid of the (their) future and would rather not experience it or have you experience it. Their fear and apprehension cannot put an end to their pain, but their pain can put an end to their decision. Terror is that which is afraid to see beyond the present moment. It sees the past as without hope and the future as hopeless, where can that leave the present? A terrorist believes no promise and has no faith. A future that cannot be envisioned cannot be lived. The lesson regarding terror and terrorists is to live with it or live without it, but to live fully and completely.
Whenever possible acknowledge, respect and appreciate who or what you fear most, even if it is a terrorist. Find pity within your heart for those who value life so little as to take it for granted in such a way. How sad it is that a being can be talked out of its future or tricked off its path because another has given him a vision that does not include tomorrow.
Is there an alternative source of energy or fuel that we can look forward to using instead of oil?
Yes. There are a variety of alternatives, but most of them are not available to you yet. Some of them have been purchased from those whose brilliant minds found the source within the mind of Source. On the one hand it would seem that you are being denied what is natural and free, but would you want what is natural and free if you had to pay for it? This is but one of the many paradoxes that seem to reign at this time. It is a puzzle that will be solved in due time. In order for you to participate in free energy you must participate in freedom rather than the illusion of freedom, otherwise, how will you truly know that it is free? In the meantime it is important to adapt and adopt. Adapt to every moment so that you a part of it rather than apart from it. Adopt an open mind so that its resources are available to you even when others are not. The planet's current resources will continue to diminish because it is time for them to do, not because humanity is good or bad, intelligent or foolish. Everything has its time and its season. Do not hoard what you have or who you are, even if it is scarce. Even if your resources seem limited the source from which they are offered is not. Trust in the unlimited even while you participate in the limited. Share what is limited and you will continue to receive from the unlimited.
We've spoken very little about the media and its influence upon us. It seems that television, film and the print media are more distorted and manipulated than ever. Will there be an avenue of expression for light in these areas? Will projects and promotions that offer other perspectives present themselves?
The media is subject to the same choices as all other forums of expression, but of all forums it is the most captivating at this time because it is the finest example of the technological age available. Film and television and even radio are learning and practicing a new language now, it is a form of autosuggestion; a subliminal language. It is a language that the mind responds to particularly well. It is a new realm that is being explored and it is available to all creative sources meaning that it is not simply a tool of the covert or those who would control. It is a form of light that the mind reads or interprets much faster than even the eyes can see. From one standpoint, it would seem that you could be unconsciously bombarded with messages and suggestions to act or participate in a certain way. On the other hand, once the mind perfects this language it will take it to greater heights than are currently imagined by those who test market it even now. Expressions of light as you put it, will have just as much access to this language as other expressions of polarity. When humanity can choose no more, receive no more, follow no more, etc., it will dissolve all that stands in the way of full spectrum light or expression. Look for an experience that captivates rather than one that holds you captive. It is self serving rather than all encompassing to choose only what you call light, because when you do so gravity will inevitably pull you from one polarity to another or from one extreme to another as the case may be. Absenting yourself from what you call the dark or the shallow is another aspect of the same duality scale. Whenever possible stand poised, balanced and neutral to all languages and eventualities. Evaluate all truths and teachings with the same scale; do not place more emphasis one perspective than you would give to another. Be not right handed or left handed, right brained or left brained, the right side may be stronger but the left is more adept; they are both equal.
Will we be aware of the new subliminal language?
Not at first, no. You are being bombarded by microwave energy and other energies at this very moment. Are you aware of it? It will be like that. You will not be aware of it in the moment-until you will become aware of it. Are you aware of all that you experience during a meditation? No. Can you recall or recite all that you experienced today or yesterday? Energy draws energy to it and communication draws communication. Language draws light and its absence. Do not be too concerned with what is said in language; be more concerned with what is conveyed and what energy conveys it. Be aligned and attuned to all that you are and you will see that this is as much a vehicle for your evolution and growth as any other you currently consider.
It is my understanding that there are a certain number of human families who are in full control of the planet and that it is their will that is being acted out at this time. Can you comment on this?
There are families and there are interests that are grouped together. They are not tight knit or well organized. Their lineage is as pure as their intention and their royalty is little more than a rhyme for their loyalty. They have an interest and a purpose in being here, but so do you. They battle within themselves, between themselves and against themselves. They battle what you call the light as much as they battle the dark; it is simply how their energy is aligned. They can be boastful and aggressive, unstable and insatiable in their pursuits. They find equal attraction in the strong and the meek and they take great pride in affecting or controlling both. They are not in full control of the planet although they would like you to believe that they are. Another cannot really control you, but you can allow yourself to participate in an illusion that would make it seem so.
Can you speak about the origin of those who are said to have "seeded" this planet and how they relate to present day humanity?
So many stories surround you at this time. Some are factual and some are simply contextual, which means that the embedded symbolism is more relevant than the information itself. As you attempt to rediscover your history do not discount that which seems too outlandish or farfetched. A common adage purports that truth is often more strange than fiction and where this subject is concerned that is so. This planet (earth) has been seeded at various times and by a variety of beings. It would be unproductive and inconclusive to stress the importance of one time or one being over another because each has played an important role in humanity's evolution. Each time the earth received a "seed," a different species resulted because the seeding process itself involves genetic mutation and/or splicing of genetic material. Planetary acceleration and axial tilt also contributed to the many changes in genetic disposition. Each seeding can be thought of as experimental because the outcome was not known. This form of experimentation should not be confused with manipulation of a species, which is altogether different.
Seven different seeds and seven different experiments were successful, other attempts were not. Seven other worlds and species contributed genetic material to what would become the earth human. It has been said that beings from other worlds resemble you; perhaps it is more appropriate to say that you resemble them. Are you descendants of monkeys or apes? No, but there is primate energy within you. Are you reptilian in brain and creation? No, but you have received a genetic adaptation that has allowed you to blend with many environments and many circumstances. Human genetics have been adapted, spliced, enhanced, turned on, turned off, altered and manipulated. Some of the changes have been environmental, some have been generational and others have been purposeful manipulations. In many ways humanity benefited by the genetic intrusion and in some ways it did not. Magnetic manipulation of the genes created polarity, which was not present before then. As human genes became polarized humanity had little choice other than to explore polarity. This single act above and beyond all others changed your destiny because it removed your free will. You have searched to understand it, recover it and reclaim it for a very long time.
Without free will humanity became a race of followers rather than leaders and it has followed many leaders for a very long time. Off planet races have visited humanity at specific intersections where time and evolution come together in unique combination. This is one of those times so there is a great deal of galactic interest in humanity now. This time period can best be described as a galactic window of opportunity. Past moments such as this one have led to more separation rather than less. In other words, humanity found less in common with itself instead of more. If it cannot find common ground and acceptance for itself it will not find it for humans upon other worlds either. Separation causes fear and fear causes stress and anxiety. This must be overcome during this window of opportunity so that you will rediscover your free will. Free will is that which allows you to choose rather than to be chosen; to lead rather than to follow. Your galactic family currently awaits your decision. It is true that other worlds seeded the Earth; but in many ways it is also true that the Earth has seeded other worlds, this is one aspect of the story that one hears very little of. Your galactic family is quite grand and quite diverse. You are all much more related than you presently imagine, certainly much more than you are prepared to agree upon.
Within our lifetime and in the near future will there be agreement for interaction with species from other worlds?
Agreement for local gatherings of this nature already exists. They take place here and there with those of like mind or body just as you have gathered here this evening. Meetings and gatherings include those of other races, cultures, beliefs and worlds. Some gatherings involve exchanges of energies that you would call channeling and others are quite physical. Some of the physical gatherings allow for a temporary occupation of physical human bodies, an exchange of sorts. Other species from other worlds are not yet truly welcome upon the earth and they know this. There is a curiosity that would summon them, but that is not the same as true interest. That is why they share their thoughts and their wisdom with you for now so that humanity will come to see what is in common rather than what is not. When humanity can welcome its own neighbors it will also be able to welcome those from other worlds. When there is acceptance and companionship instead of censorship a true program of exchange will begin. Many who understand and are attuned to frequencies that exist beyond the third dimension already participate in these cultural exchange programs in one form or another. There is much to be gained from physical and nonphysical communication alike, but it must be welcome rather than imposed. Humanity must also be willing to acknowledge itself as equal to other beings and other kingdoms before other races will fully demonstrate themselves to you. Another race cannot and will not save you or your planet from yourselves or from your emperor. As agreement for communion and companionship in this area expands there will be more contact, and yes, it will be in your time and in what you call the near future.
There seems to be so much conflicting information about transformation right now. For instance, I find the Mayan calendar interesting but do not understand it. I also don't think I understand the difference between the third, fourth and fifth dimension that we are about to embark on. Can you add any clarity to this subject?
Linear time cannot access transformation so it cannot understand it either. One must transcend linear time in order to transform it, As long as you are transfixed by it you will not move beyond it. None of the definitions that have been offered thus far are completely accurate because they are all based upon systems of belief that are in decay and near collapse. Even the system by which the hours, days and years are measured is no longer valid. Mayan calendars are based upon galactic time rather than linear time. Galactic time is dimensional; it is stacked like one of your skyscrapers and the dimensions intersect and overlap. When humanity's collective awareness shifts beyond the linear third dimension it will begin to make a little more sense. For now it will be helpful if you do not struggle to understand a non-linear concept with a linear mind. If a child cannot yet add or subtract it would not matter how much he struggled to memorize a multiplication table because the information would be useless in the present. In the future, however, it would make a lot of sense. Do not dismiss the subject altogether, but think upon it with both hemispheres of the brain whenever possible. Release time from its current obligation and space will follow. When this becomes a reality rather than a conjecture that requires confirmation the conflict within you will ease.
How can we be aware of ourselves in the present moment and aware of ourselves in present multi-dimensional moments as well?
By acknowledging that there are aspects of you that are human and aspects of you that are divine. Earth days last approximately twenty-four hours, but cosmic days are measured differently and so are galactic days, universal days and solar days. Each day understands itself as independent and interdependent upon all others. The sun shines upon all planets in this solar system, but it does so differently in each case. It relates to each world in unique and specific ways, but it is simultaneously a part of each world at all times and so are you. Adopting an awareness and a posture of being more than human and not less than divine will assist you in this process. Whenever possible take the time to acknowledge that you are more than the human awareness that reveals itself to you in the moment. "I am more than this linear moment. I move from simplicity to complexity and back easily and effortlessly. I attune and acknowledge all realities, even those that exist beyond my current awareness. I receive more and retrieve more in every moment. I regain and retain more every day." Do not attempt to define "more" because you could only do so with the linear mind. It is in the allowing, the calling forth and the acknowledgment that you become more - be-come; come to be more.
I have heard that Europe is already moving into the fifth dimension and that the rest of the world will be making the same transition by 2011 or 2012. Can you speak about that?
Your hearing is accurate but what you have heard is not. It has been passed from one person to another, first in the spoken word then in the written word. By the time it was published and sent around the world by electronic means it had become inaccurate. Your history books are published in similar fashion so it is not surprising that other material would follow similar suit. Certain aspects of the Earth, of my sentience, already experience the fifth dimension and beyond. Time, space and dimension are relative. The third dimension relates to them in one way while other dimensions relate to them quite differently. Linear time is only an aspect of dimensional time just as a line or an angle is only an aspect of a triangle or another geometry. All aspects must be considered in order to express accurate information. When information is diluted, skewed, altered or embellished there is less room for truth to take up residence.
2012 is a point in time based upon linear or third dimensional understanding. Collective agreement has placed a great deal of emphasis and excitement upon this window or corridor of time. An opportunity currently exists to experience more than one dimension of experience at a time; perhaps simultaneous time is a better description than dimensional time. The principle of simultaneous time allows experience to take place in the third and the fifth dimension simultaneously, do you see? By this understanding, the earth is already in the fifth dimension and has no need of arriving an arbitrary point in time called 2012 before it can experience the fifth dimension. The difficulty does not lie with 3D, but with the belief and perceptions that accompany 3D. Beliefs have form, structure and rules, they are not fluid. Currently, the rules say that humanity has many expectations surrounding the 2012 date. If the rules were changed the date might be changed as well. Those who initially put forth that aspects of Europe had already moved into the fifth dimension shifted any and all beliefs relative to linear time. They invited the 2012 window into the now moment, they envisioned the possibility and then chose the reality. Is all of Europe in 5D because they did that? No, it is the reality of those who chose that experience just as your reality is based upon the experience you choose. Can you do the same? Yes, begin by acknowledging that the Earth is already a fifth-dimensional entity, because it is and so are you. It is not difficult to imagine if you place your awareness in an expanded state that invites many possibilities such as your dream consciousness. Allow simultaneous time and dimensional time to be the companions of linear time, this will make the experience gradual and graceful rather than abrupt.
2012 is the end of a system of measuring time; it is not the end of time itself. There is no fear when the date on the calendar says that one season will end and another will begin, but there is a great deal of fear surrounding this date. Fear invites prophecy and there is a prophecy that states that the world will end in 2012. It says that a cataclysm will destroy the earth and all upon it. Fear/prophecy says that because time will run out in 2012, or that it will come to a standstill. That would certainly invite cataclysmic results, but what if prophesy simply invited you to think differently or choose differently? What if it invited you to evolve from one dimension into another by choosing a different path? Be a part of all that is presented to you, imagine and envision many possibilities, but be certain to include the best possibilities while considering the worst.
I understand that sound and light frequencies have or are about to shift how we relate to healing mind, body and spirit. Would you be willing to speak about that?
Frequencies shift and change all of the time. Any beneficial changes including the smallest fluctuations are immediately available to any being that vibrates in resonance with the earth. That which you speak of is accessible to humanity, but a conscious acknowledgment of its benefit is still positioned in the future. Humanity's consciousness cannot acknowledge it until the mind and the body can acknowledge it. The human body still understands itself as solid and dense, it does not yet have an understanding of itself as light. Its movement is not yet fluid and the body has not yet rid itself of small plagues and inconsequential malaise. The mind still processes unwanted and unconscious thoughts that it is only sometimes aware of. Even spirit is dependant upon belief systems that prevent it from expressing itself naturally and completely. Humanity is moving in sync with the energy fluctuations that are already aligned with it. Others await a more opportune moment. As body, mind and spirit become lighter in frequency and density, the organs of the body will release their toxins and it will seem that a great deal of the population is ill and can no longer process the same foods it has consumed before. Food poisoning will be rampant and there will be a strong desire to return to the natural foods that can restore health. The body still holds toxicity within the density; one complements the other even if it does not seem so. Attunements of crystalline light and other acknowledged methods of healing are available now, but their full benefit will not be felt or understood for a few years yet.
If the universe is a representation of total and complete abundance, why are we still dealing with money? Are we waiting for everyone to get a piece of the pie before it is gone?
Money is a system of energy exchange. It is well understood by this time that very little energy is being exchanged. When energy is not exchanged it dwindles, all resources respond accordingly and world economies are no different. Lack of energy exchange will continue to cause a reduction of resources and some banks will be forced to close their doors. There is not enough money in the system because humanity no longer believes in the system. All systems must have public support in order to be viable. A firm foundation no longer represents this system so it will topple and it will fail. It must also be said that the monetary system is not what is keeping humanity from realizing itself as abundant. Replacing this system with another will not automatically restore an abundant nature. Humanity must first discover that its wealth does come from its monies or its gold. When it realizes that its resources are within its collective heart, spirit and soul, it will find that it is resplendent and abundant on all fronts.
As women, we have been gathering, becoming more empowered and discovering a united sisterhood. It feels like we are finding our voices and our strength more than ever. I am wondering what our next role is, where are we going?
Perhaps it is more appropriate to say coming than going. You are becoming more than individual women, you are becoming a oneness of women. Womanhood will become womankind when it acknowledges the sensuality of the divine feminine rather than the sexuality of the human feminine. The divine feminine is found in partnership with the divine masculine. This should not be mistaken with the current male and female gender roles that are deemed culturally acceptable at this time. A divine partnership also exists between the child, the youth, the aged and the wise. Womankind will blossom when it acknowledges all aspects of humanity as itself. Mankind will come into its fullness in the same way and humankind must also experience itself as one. Women are not yet in true sisterhood, because in order to do so they must find strength and equality in the mother, the daughter, the wife, the grandmother, the mother-in-law, and the whore. When the wisdom in all beingness is acknowledged including the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom and the mineral kingdom, the true meaning of sisterhood and brotherhood will be understood and will expand. Any form of separation, however exalted and purposeful is still separation; it divides but does not unite.
Can form and formlessness come together in ecstasy? Is sexuality the bridge to this experience? Will we find ecstasy in the unified field and unity within our physical vehicles? Is all of humanity capable of experiencing and merging with God in form, awareness and consciousness?
God/All That Is carries form and formlessness within It and distributes and demonstrates it in ways that you would marvel at. Ecstasy describes the experience of momentary union with God/All That Is, but it is only a word, an understanding between one or more individuals. God/All That Is can only be experienced; it cannot be described for no words could suffice. Form and formlessness are both experiences of God/All That Is because they both emanate from the same Source. The perception that ecstasy is best experienced out of body or beyond body is a human one. Form is not less ecstatic than formlessness, but it is more dense. Density is an illusion just as separation is an illusion; both are designed to keep you from feeling or experiencing All That Is. Look beyond the form and the formless and beyond your definition of ecstasy, too. There you will find an experience of All That Is both within and without. It does not differentiate or separate Itself. Intimacy and sexual expression are vehicles for expressing non-physical energy in physical ways. Sexuality is an expression of physicalized union with spirit when it is experienced as more than a physical act for the sole purpose of sexual gratification. Sexuality is a forum that can express two as one, but it can also express one as One. Humanity is God in form, it is simply not consciously aware of it at this time.
There is a lot being said these days about psychic children. Is it true that these special children are carriers of unique frequencies that will assist and unite the planet?
There are many special and unique children upon the planet at this time, but tell me, when your children were born did you not look upon them in the same way? Did you not believe their presence would make a difference upon the earth? Did you not think their generation was more capable and advanced than your own? Your parents believed the same about you. All children are psychic; this generation is simply the first to be acknowledged as such. If you will acknowledge their brilliance you must also acknowledge your own, otherwise the flow will be cut off between the generations. Every generation can heal itself, its past and its future if it is allowed to. All beings receive this gift from Source/All That Is. Each being and every collective essence is a gifted carrier of special purpose and unique alignment. Will the children be a blessing to the planet? Yes, but perhaps it is not appropriate to assign them too great a task before they even come of age. They need not take on the burdens of past and present generations in order to be effective and they should not be asked to complete what others do not wish to do for themselves. They are gifted, but their childhood is also their gift, make certain that they are not robbed of it.
I am actively remembering that I chose to be here at this time. I feel a calling that reminds me that my soul volunteered for this long ago. It feels somewhat revolutionary and militant as if I'm on the front lines of something I cannot define. I understand the necessity of being in personal balance, peace and harmony and at the same time I am longing for a coming together of groups and councils so that a new structure for living can be created. Am I on the right track with this?
Yes, you are. On this night there are many peoples and councils that have come together, this is not the only one. This gathering is representative of others; there are physical and non-physical councils and gatherings. All who are here are part of other councils and conferences, as long as you are multi-dimensional beings it cannot be otherwise. A pebble tossed into a pond creates ripples that move from the center outward, your energy is not different. The guidance and essence that is you has quite an entourage assigned to its detail, one that is actively aware even when you are not. Do you believe that only humanity gathers itself to discuss peace? Other kingdoms and other beings also gather. The animal kingdom gathers in expression of its willingness and desire as does the plant kingdom and the mineral kingdom. The forces of nature are not idle or at the whim and fancy of others. More councils will soon gather as well, some upon the planet and others within and beyond it. Be in knowingness and awareness regarding the subject of council so that messages and invitations will come your way. Remind yourself that you are purposeful and that your life continually creates purpose for both active (doing) and passive (being) participation. Your life is an emergence of expression that acknowledges access, evolution, growth and discovery in all areas.
I am very interested in the subject of council gatherings, it stirs something deep within me and I would like to continue council gatherings even beyond this evening. Tonight we have the benefit of your presence and the gift of asking questions and receiving answers, but what else can we know about coming together in this way?
Indeed, a fine question. You always have the benefit of my presence, I do not exist within the channel and she does not exist within me. You may not always hear words expressed as they are here, but that need not be a limitation of expression. Too often humanity surrenders its power to another, regardless of whether it is another authority or another channel. Each being is aligned with an original codex; an original understanding of self. Original means that which originates within Source, it means that which is a perfect expression of Self within the mind of God/All That Is. A codex is the part of all awareness that has never known non-perfection. At the time of physical birth, each incarnation is aligned with its codex or perfection. The unique position of the sky at the time each being draws its first breath ensures this. Your codex also aligns you with your multi-dimensional awareness, drawing support and wellness from other aspects of you. Even when you are first born you already participate in councils of awareness because only one aspect of you is a newborn. You already know a great deal about the subject of council gatherings and you are about to bring forward much more of this knowledge so that it will be available to others as well. Council gatherings are of energetic benefit to humanity and to the earth because they acknowledge perfection upon perfection upon perfection. They acknowledge a sacred geometry based upon perfection, do you see? They are amplifiers of an unparalleled source of perfect energy.
Would you recommend that we continue to gather in groups and councils? If so, is there a particular focus or purpose that would generate the most interest and benefit?
It is appropriate to gather for the purpose of discovery and empowerment. It is important to gather to see what is of interest or boredom to those who attend, but there must be an agreed upon purpose so that there will be a firm foundation rather than a flimsy one. Many are gathering, but they are gathering to discuss and agree upon the drama. This is a limited rather than an expansive use of resources.
Would it be of benefit to gather at places that are of higher vibration than others? Are there certain activities that should take place when we gather?
A place is only as sacred as that which is upon and within it. As long as you bring your creativity, interest and purpose with you it does not matter where you gather although you will certainly have your preferences. Intent builds interest and desire. All other matters including agenda are secondary or tertiary to intent. Desire draws and expands energies. Expansive energies could not remain in only one location, that would be true even if you gathered at that one location every time, do you see? Make your intent to commune with the earth and partner with it to amplify and diversify energy.
Is there any last thing that you'd like to share with us, Gaia, before we call it an evening?
I will perhaps only to reiterate the importance of thinking and feeling expansive; of moving in the direction of awareness, knowingness and supported guidance. Choose unlimited and unbridled thought and purpose. Remove blinders and you remove boundaries; remove limitation and you remove prejudice. Open your outer eyes wider and your inner eyes will see better as well. Learn to see in the dark and the light will not blind you. Walk side by side and hand in hand with all aspects of your beingness. Assign sovereignty and free will to all kingdoms, species, elements, and beings. Envision the best of all worlds that you may live in it. Take the next step and then the next.
