September is when things begin to get interesting.  We are seeing a tangible divergence in parallels.

When we talk about diverging parallels such as we are talking about now, we would call this something more than a nexus.  A nexus is something that occurs three times or so every year and this is something that we would term more major and more significant than a nexus.  It is still something that happens with regular frequency and occurs in your time frame every five or six years or so. 

In this divergence, one large group of you will more or less be waiting things out, biding your time, hiding your heads in the sand, and going deep underground.  Another group of you will very visibly and noticeably sense and have awareness of their own creation of the direction of the changes that are occurring all around you: towards community, hope and a sense of spiritual prosperity.

It is not our intention to convey any sense of "heaven" or "hell", "good" or "bad" in our description of this divergence.  They are simply two parallels opening, one in which there is a large desire to continue exploring some of the themes that you have been looking at at for years, and one in which there is a  group collective decision to allow those themes to drop away and new ones to arise instead.  There will still be difficulties taking place in either world, there will still be change taking place in either world, and there will still be many of the aspects that we have been telling you to expect over the past several months in either world, no matter which parallel ends up being the reality as you perceive it.

 

You feel it, don’t you? The spiral, the connections, the intoxicating realization that Change Is Here.

It’s as if, for many of you, you woke up recently, you’re not sure when, and found yourselves in another world, one that looks just a little brighter, colors fresher, air clearer. A world in which some of the old patterns and habits that used to haunt you, to rule you, are suddenly much less so. They may even be gone entirely. So what happened? You don’t remember when they went. There was no catalytic moment, no tipping point, but now, yes, you’re sure now as you check, now they’re just Not There.

That was July. July, the month of heady emotion. July, a month of, for many of you, incredible intensity.

Now it is August. You’re thinking you can rest now. You’re thinking, “August, the harvest month. I can reap what I’ve sown."

Not so fast.

There’s more. That was just a taste of what’s to come.

July is a month of intense emotion.

Some of you have been thinking that June was intense enough, but June was more about action and connection — whereas July is all about feeling. It may feel chaotic to some of you, especially those who are not used to accessing the deeper layers of your emotions.

This is what is bubbling up. Those of you who are more used to operating from your emotions will likely feel a very pleasant month as it finally seems as if the rest of the world is more in step with you. But understand that because you are not an emotional society, most of you have deeper layers of emotion that you do not typically access, and so there will be some elements of that chaotic feeling for nearly everyone this month.

June, as many of you have been feeling, is going to be quite an exciting month. There is a lot going on for you - and this will surface in a tangible way. Not coincidentally, there will be a number of energetic disruptions on the surface of the Earth that will likely manifest in additional earthquakes along the Asian corridor (think "Ring of Fire," also Portugal and South America while you're at it), potentially a large tsunami in the area as a result, some volcanic activity (Hello, Hawaii!), there will also manifest some disruption among the global collective connection that you all share.

This disruption in the connection will likely manifest economically with additional people losing their jobs due to the shutdown or severe cutbacks of one or more major manufacturing corporations (and all the rippling effects from smaller suppliers being affected, etc), more people finding themselves in a suddenly more precarious financial situation, and more people finding themselves more susceptible than usual to communicable disease.

This may sound rather dire, but understand that by month's end, because of the ripple effects of this global disturbance, you will feel more connected to one another than you do at present.

The energy of May is starting out quite differently from that of the month previous. Whereas in April you were mostly concerned with your individual processes, now after only a month you have moved a distance into the awareness of one another as a global community. This is but a single step along a long path toward true awareness of your connection to one another, but it is a step nevertheless.

While many of you are feeling energized by this new sense of belonging and connected community, many of you are feeling this as having come from fear. Yes, there are fears now worldwide over the potential of pandemic. We would say that it is largely the fears that are creating the potential of rapidly replicating viruses that still have the potential to decimate populations. Why do we tell you this, then, since we know that even saying this will bring fears to those who hear these words?

This month the energy is about “Renewal.” Many of you will be seeing and feeling renewed hope, feelings of increased peacefulness with what is happening around the world, and feelings of increased peacefulness on an inner level.  Renewal of the spirit, as well as the body.

This feeling is in sharp contrast, however, to some things that are happening or beginning to happen in many places around the world.  We have long spoken of change, and many of you have begun to feel it on an intrinsic level.  This deep level of change, a fundamental shift occurring around the globe and affecting ALL of you, has felt frightening at times.  Overwhelming.  But because a sharp turn was taken globally in an energetic nexus occurring at the end of last month (March), the new month brings with it not only all that change but also a decrease in levels of anxiety about it.

Let us take you on a journey.  This is, of course, a journey of Self and of discovery, an analogy for the journey you are taking this month energetically. Are you ready?

Think of something to take with you on this journey.  It can be anything -  one single thing - that you would most like to have with you on this journey.  It can be anything, from the concrete to the abstract. Your imagination is your limit.

Take some time now to savor this thing you are taking with you.  Feel it, hold it in your hand (if you can!).  Feel its edges (if it has them), and its weight.  Feel what energy it, too, carries with it, and how that makes YOU feel having it near you.  Really take time with this and imagine as much detail as you can before going on.

This is a month of practice and repetition.  Feeling like things are familiar? That is because it is very likely you have already done them, or felt them, or thought them. If you are feeling, then, that you are simply stuck in old patterns of response and behavior because things just seem the same as they ever were, then understand that this is your last practice, your last exploration, before perhaps letting go of them for good. In order to move along, to take the next step, one must take stock of where one is at present. That is what we see happening for many of you now.

Question: Economics is a question on many people's minds. There could be a depression and there seems to be many people in power who are still clinging to old ways of using the current situation to make more money for the privileged rich. How worse is it going to get before it gets better? Is this another Great Depression?

We will call 2009 a bridge year; a year of transition.

We speak to you on a regular and ongoing basis about change. Change is something that is always present within your experience. It is part of your purpose, but 2009 will very likely represent to you as you look back on it later, as again, a bridge—a transition.   2008 saw many changes—the beginnings of changes and the glimmer of understanding that there is much yet to come regarding changes that are happening on a global and collective basis. We have spoken about these changes before, about the upheavals that are beginning to take place. 2009, then, is the in-between, between the understanding that something is about to happen and the realization of what is happening.

Many of you have been experiencing the energy surrounding quite a large shift, a lot of movement.  We have been talking to you for some time about changes and transitions, breathing in and out: a lot of change.   This will of course continue throughout your lifetime, but this month, December 2008, marks for a great many of you a shift into another reality, a nexus, a different way of perceiving, a different consciousness.  You can also call it a parallel world.

In this month people are primarily focused on picking up the pieces.

In other words, there has been a great deal of change occurring around the world. This change has manifested politically, economically, socially, and environmentally. The change has affected everyone living at present around the world in one way or another, even when they don't necessarily feel directly connected. And because there has been so much happening, this is a month to pick up the pieces. Picking up the pieces means checking in to see where you are, looking at the aftermath, and finding a new direction based on where you are at present. For some of you, your lives have changed so quickly that your heads are spinning, and this is now the month to assess where you are and to figure out on some level where you want to go.

October brings with it the energy of listening.  People are beginning not only to hear themselves but also to hear one another.  This is a change over previously, and in some ways signifies a burgeoning sense of connection to one another that hadn’t existed before.  You may find this manifesting most especially in your personal relationships, wherein you find a new awareness of what others are saying, beyond your previous perceptions of this.  There is the energy, then, of invitation to a new level of awareness among and between you.  This is the corollary to last month’s energy of introspection coupled with chagrin at global change.

This month brings with it an aura of anticipation; change has been in the air for some time, and now we will begin to see what shape that change will begin to take.

On a personal level, this month brings with it an increased desire for introspection. Many of you will be evaluating and re-evaluating yourselves in the context of the wider population, beginning with your families and moving out into your communities and finally the entire global population.

Many of you have noticed what seems to be very palpable change in the air.  The energy is shifting, you say.  Something is happening.  I can feel it. You are correct:  something is indeed happening.  What?  We can talk about this time of change in a number of different ways:

1.   Energetically.  It all points to energy anyhow, does it not?  What we are seeing now is that things are elongating energetically. 

Many of you are feeling pain at this time, the pain either of inner transformation and your resistance and fears surrounding this, or the pain of feeling things are being imposed upon you.  This, like every other time in the course of human history, is a time of change.  Sometimes this change is more outwardly evident than others, and the signs are at this time inescapable for many of you, with high fuel prices, burst housing bubbles, high food prices, and other financial and economic pressures.
