First, know that you don't have to believe in or be interested in the story of the shift in consciousness occurring in order to contribute to the world and step into the love that you are.
Ok, now it's time to blow your mind (just a little bit for now). It's the only way. We love our minds, our sweet and oh so cute egos that need to be in control of our universe in order to keep us safe. So with that in mind, just consider the possibility that everything you understand reality to be is just one aspect of reality, one viewpoint, one dimension. To be specific, all of us have been trained to experience and succeed at living in the 3rd dimension. We are surviving, and some of us thriving, in the 3rd dimension. This is why it is so challenging to let go of our expertise, of what we understand reality to be.
The 3rd dimension is one of linear time, and is a place of density in both physicality and consciousness. Physically, our bodies are carbon-based. If we stub our toe on a rock, it hurts. We have two strands of DNA, although even traditional science admits we seem to have at least 12 strands, though most are "dormant" and used to be called "Junk DNA". It is this dormant DNA that is beginning to awaken, from the power of our hearts. Heart-based states of love, peace, compassion, gratitude and trust allow the once "dormant" DNA to begin to bundle and activate.
Living in 3rd dimensional consciousness, our thoughts and emotions go toward the dense energies of survival, fear, scarcity, separation and competition. We are veiled from our access to all that we truly are, to Source, and to higher realms of consciousness. It's ok, we came here to forget and then remember, and the density of the 3rd dimension is a gift. It is important and isn't going anywhere.
Because the evolutionary shift that that we are transitioning through is a shift in consciousness, we must consciously choose to experience it. Change isn't always easy, and so these are challenging times. It really is the end of the world as we know it. That world can still survive in those who do not want to move into a reality of unity, unconditional love and abundance for All Beings. However, anything you do effects the entire collective, so your inner work and light eases the path for all awakening hearts.
Even those of us who are into all things spiritual, magical and metaphysical are getting our minds blown. The old spiritual superstitions are coming to the surface to be transformed. No more using spiritual practices as a way to discipline ourselves into becoming a right and good person. No more thinking a certain spiritual discipline or person will "save" us. No more beating up, making wrong, judging, fighting, demonizing, or punishing ourselves or others is necessary. That includes fighting against your own anger, judgment or fear.
The right way is just the way that YOU are in each moment, bringing love and respect to every thought, feeling, and experience that you have. The process we are in calls for honoring everything you experience, for it is coming up to be transformed into New Earth. Some call it clearing or releasing blocks, and this is part of the process. I like to think of it as integrating all that we are into the light, into love.
The 5th dimensional consciousness of New Earth is beginning to be reflected in science, from epigenetics and quantum physics to Living Systems Theory and Integrated Information Theory. If you enjoy science, I highly recommend checking out an overview of the HeartMath Institute's research in their free e-book, Science of the Heart: Exploring the Role of the Heart in Human Performance. The Institute of Noetic Sciences is an excellent resource for consciousness research, challenging what traditional science has led us to believe about the nature of reality.
Everything is interconnected, humming and vibrating with consciousness. This pivotal time we are in has been predicted by over 30 religions and ancient cultures, such as Mayan, Native American, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist and Jewish. What we are amid has been described as a shift or transformation in the consciousness of the planet, the grand shift of the ages, Christ Consciousness, the ascension process, the apocalypse and end times.
With so much information available today, it is important to go within and honor your own insight, wisdom and knowing. With much information comes disinformation and partial truth. Even as I write about New Earth, I know that what I understand today can change tomorrow.
What does New Earth look like? New Earth is a state of unity consciousness and unconditional love. When we choose to return to the place inside us that is awake to the Truth, that we are not separate from Source, God, the Universe, Gaia or each other, it's a game changer. Life becomes about co-creation, as opposed to the need to control reality because, after all, you're separate, surviving in a world that is dangerous and thrives on competition and duality.
New Earth is a choice. As we choose to awaken to our true divine nature, to truly "ascend", which means claiming our mastery as divine beings in a physical body, all is transformed when we focus our consciousness on what we want to see. New Earth solutions don't come from focusing on problems. All solutions arise in the space of Love and Light, God consciousness: all healed, all well, all cared for and included by the transformative power of pure divine Light. As we focus on the world we want, rather than what's wrong with the world we are in an how we can "fix" it, all that is not aligned with the Highest truly disappears.
New Earth exist in the Here and Now, beyond the limitations of time and space. It is timeless and ever present. It contains all possibility in the present, all future timelines and our multi-dimensional nature. We are working together now to co-create New Earth, in the here and now, pointing our collective trajectory in this NOW moment toward a future where abundance is our natural state and All are cared for and loved.
New Earth is experienced through the heart, as the heart is the root or "base chakra" of the ascended human. It is an experience rather than a theory or intellectual understanding. It is a new language: the language of light. It can be a crazy, unexpected, magical world. The sun sparkles with diamond light in geometric patterns, the world brightens in colors never seen before, new tones and sounds are heard, and the heart is overwhelmed with love and deep gratitude to be alive. New Earth is here, the planetary grid completed, and now it is up to you to open your heart, mind and imagination in order to experience and live in it in your unique way.
While New Earth may seem like a fairy realm when you hear other's stories, for me, it's actually a very grounded natural state of being and experience. What is amplified is the beauty, connection, oneness, love, compassion, abundance and gratitude that emanates from keeping your eyes on the divine at all times. When you let go of expectations of how you or your world are "supposed" to look or feel "one day", you open to experiencing the perfection of here and now.
This unique time we are shifting into is one that includes everything: all people, creatures and the earth itself. In New Earth, intuition is heightened, communication is shifted beyond words to more of the silent language of symbols, feelings, and "telepathy". People are, well, just more sensible and loving. We go beyond the judgments of good and bad, and into the realm of caring for and honoring all of life.
What is New You?
YOU are New Earth, a multi-dimensional being that chose to come here at an unprecedented and very special time on planet Earth. You are awakening from the illusion of separation and fear. There are as many ways to talk about, understand and experience New Earth as there are people on the planet at any given moment. Know that only you can experience New You. Everyone will awaken and transform at their own pace and in their own way.
Honor your way, your own experience, and know that experiencing New Earth is a choice.
It's important to be honest with yourself, for it is totally fine to choose to live in the known 3rd dimensional reality. If you're reading this, you clearly want more than the 3rd dimension offers. You've had glimpses of what is possible, and a part of you knows there is more than what you've been taught reality to be. The biggest challenge is for those of us (myself included) that are on the fence between fully committing to vibe up to 5th dimensional consciousness or stay where we are because of fears and doubts. We understand the 3rd dimension, and other dimensions are not only unknown and mysterious, but ones we've been taught aren't "real". It takes great trust, surrender and commitment. But oh, my friends, stay true to your path and I promise it gets easier. You and your life will transform in sensational and awe inspiring ways.
You may be asking, "So does that mean it's all or nothing? Choose 3-D reality or 5-D?" Absolutely not. It's not like the 3rd dimension is going away or the window of opportunity is going to disappear. This is your play, your story and you get to have it just how you want it. Your choice isn't just a one shot deal nor an either/or. It's moment by moment, day by day. Some days are easier than others, some experiences more challenging than others. We are in this dance, this school of life, where we can continually choose to say "Yes!" to living in our hearts and trusting our soul's journey.
You may be noticing many symptoms (physical, mental and emotional) of the shift happening inside you. Know this is part of the process and THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU. Of course, do go to a medical professional if called to do so. How different would your experience of illness, of pain, of your emotions, be if you took the viewpoint that those were all a part of the process of your upliftment into true Divine You?
As you bring more light into your body, the body is shifting into a more crystalline light-based structure. Dormant DNA is being activated or awakened. Being open to the possibility that all is truly well, choosing to lift your vibration to love more and more, and trusting the process will greatly help ease any symptoms. If it feels like too much to handle, you can ask the light to slow down, to integrate with ease and grace. You are transforming and also may be noticing an increase in new interests or talents, extraordinary experiences, greater sensitivity and heightened intuition. Tell your doubt or fear, "Thank you for trying to protect me. It's ok. You're safe and you're coming with me!"
Your Mission, Should You Choose To Accept It
Ascension, Awakening, call it what you will, is a CHOICE.
It is a choice you make of where to place your consciousness in each moment. No one and nothing can take this power away from you. You can move through the world on automatic, or you can choose to use your awareness to focus on upliftment. You can believe all your doubts and fears, or compassionately witness them, love yourself even more, and bravely do whatever you need to to love more, trust more, and experience more peace and joy.
Being a multi-dimensional being means that you are much more than your name, this body, your trauma or your triumphs. For example, to uplift into 5th dimensional consciousness means choosing to be compassionate. While your physical body is here for a finite time, your spirit is eternal. Awakening means living in a physical world with the awareness that you are truly Divine and a co-creator of all your experience. It is a response-ability and choice that we forgot, and are now remembering.
We all have a unique mission on this planet with one thing in common: to love more deeply than ever before.
We are the light, the ones we've been waiting for. We are here to integrate the light of our true selves, our "light bodies" into our physical form and transform our universe. YOU are here to be amazing, shining, unique YOU!! How deeply can you love all that you are? How much can you enjoy and appreciate every experience? Can you keep returning your attention to the abundance, love, compassion and peace that permeates every aspect of the universe? No more work hard, play and have fun later. No more trying so hard to please everyone else, for then you empower them to be the victim as you become the rescuer. We are here to empower each other, to be stronger together!
The world needs YOU, all of you, just as you are, living the life of your dreams and shining out magnificent YOU right now! Unity consciousness, an aspect of New Earth, teaches us that we are all co-creators. It implies that we are all masters, all here with unique gifts and perspectives to add in community. There may be a leader in any group, but it is just a role to play. We are all leaders and of equal importance and special contribution.
Stepping into New You is no small task, for as you integrate more light, all the darkness comes up to be seen, respected and transformed into light. All the pain, all the suffering, all the fear, have a purpose. They are asking for loving attention, to be honored and to be loved just as they are, and informing and guiding your path. As the old beliefs, stories and realities come up, you have the opportunity to then release them back to Source with your command, like outdated software or the clothing you have that is now tattered and worn out or that fit you when you were a child.
How do you know if you're headed in the direction of your highest path? Because it feels good! Scary sometimes, yes. Crazy and confronting, oh yeah. But in a juicy, part of me knows in my bones that this is right, live-life-to-the-fullest kind of way.
You'll find many resources on the web that list the symptoms of the shift (often called "Ascension symptoms") that are occurring as our bodies shift from carbon-based to crystalline light-based structures. If you're interested in looking into these symptoms more, a good place to start is with Denise LeFay's article, still quite relevant today. Anything that arises is simply a pattern, memory or "block" that are surfacing to be released. Look around anywhere, not just in your own emotional or physical life, but in the collective. Things are intensifying, and not always in a pretty way. Violence, destruction, war, competition, scarcity, and fear permeate the media, whether in the form of terrorist acts, government, poverty, environmental crises or big business. Inside, people are questioning what their lives are about and what is going on, and are self-medicating or taking prescription medication for depression and anxiety more than ever before.
You have choice in what world you align with. You can choose to take back your power and align with trusting your own process and that of each person's on this planet. You can interpret your experiences any way you choose.
It is our responsibility as spirits who chose to be alive on the planet at this time to step up, if we are called to do so, into the light, aligning with a greater reality and consciousness of love. There is nothing to fight anymore. It is so tiring to fight, escape, worry and defend, isn't it? You deserve to find peace in this chaos. It's exhausting to see all the ways we are lacking, never feeling we are enough or have enough.
You might ask, "Am I there yet? When will I be there!" Well, here's the truth: You ARE there! You are here, now, and everything you have experienced up to this point has brought you to exactly where you need to be in this moment.
Are you willing to let go of what you're supposed to feel or look like when you "get there"? There is no end to evolution.
Know that everything you do, you do for the collective, for the whole world. Humanity and our beloved earth need YOU and your contribution. We are all in this together, and even as upheaval, pain, violence, fear and suffering seem to be increasing as we end an old age and begin a new, those who choose to seek and live in a new uplifted reality can do so more easily than ever. Your path is unique and to be honored. You do not need to walk it faster, slower, better or differently than you are. Some like a quick, intense shift and others want a slower more gradual shift. The right way is the way you are doing it right now, without need to compare yourself to others.
So practice, practice, practice. Any moment you think of it. Practice surrendering, trusting, loving and appreciating. Practice telling a different story about your experiences, that everything is for your, and the world's, highest and greatest good. Practice doing what brings you joy, filling your home and life with joy, playfulness and laughter. Practice following that hunch, that nudge you get, that insistent voice of your intuition, right away, before you get in your own way. New Earth is yours to experience if you choose to be open to changing your beliefs about reality and yourself. New You is integrating into the light of pure love and connection to Source, right here, right now. Enjoy your divine unfolding and embrace all that you are!
