Evolver Intensives in association with Psychedelic Adventure is happy to announce its forthcoming webinar series called "Two Worlds in Collision: Extraterrestrials, the Secret Government, and You" beginning on May 12th at 12 noon PST/3 PM EST with host Richard Dolan. Richard is considered by many students of the UFO phenomenon to be a pre-eminent historian of the subject.

He is the author of two volumes of history, UFOs and the National Security State, as well as an analysis of the future, A.D. After Disclosure: The People’s Guide to Life After Contact.


Here is something more about the webinar ...

In a time of intensifying military power and invasive surveillance, many believe that a great secret remains concealed from us: The secret of human contact with other intelligences present on the Earth, now and in the distant past. If this is the case, then who is keeping this secret hidden? What kinds of intelligences operate behind the scenes, and what does this imply for the future of humanity and our planet? Any thinking person can see that humanity stands at the edge of two worlds in collision: one marked by secrecy and domination, the other by openness and cooperation. Over the past century or more, but accelerating dramatically over the past 30 years, we have witnessed the expansion of what can only be called a nascent global police state, the "New World Order" of the elite globalists.

We live in a world with ever-greater centralization, regimentation, and control that gives the few power over the many. A world in which information about each of us is now available to centralized databases and police agencies who monitor us against dangerous ideas and activities. A world governed by a financial system that makes it impossible to sustain either human society or a healthy environment for much longer. It is also a world that increasing numbers of people from all walks of life - scientists, soldiers, and business people - believe hides a very great mystery: That other intelligences exist, here on planet Earth, interacting with humanity in very important, yet inscrutable, ways. According to researchers into this area, this matter has been enveloped in the deepest layers of secrecy of the ever-expanding global police state, consigned to "black ops" programs and intelligence operations. Yet it is not hidden completely.

Could this secret mark the edge of a transition that divides the old world from the new? From the other side, can we envision the contours of a world that looks very different from what we know today? This, too, may have been in the making for centuries. If the secret is revealed, would we enter a world in which humanity has found the strength and resilience to remake itself? In this world, where the dark shadows of the past have been finally exposed to the light, citizenship and freedom might take on new and fresh meanings. We might enter a world in which the human spirit feels expanded, vibrant with awesome new possibilities. And finally, in this transformed world, humanity might learn to live in harmony with other life forms - as well as those levels of intelligence sharing our galactic adventure with us. Before we can bring about meaningful change, we must understand what confronts us. What is the true structure of power in this world? Not the trite and clichéd verities we receive in the mainstream education and media systems, but the real deal? Who are these intelligences that, according to so many firsthand accounts, interact with humanity? What can we learn about them? Are they figments of the collective imagination, or helpers and guides for us? Are they indifferent to humanity? Are they even hostile to us? Are we possibly dealing with a multiplicity of entities and motives? How can humanity get to the point where we can evolve into a new planetary culture that is sustainable, trust-based, and compassionate? What prevents us from using our technical genius to make a positive transformation? Is it possible that this evolution can only happen once the veil of secrecy over UFOs, extraterrestrial intelligence, nonhuman intelligence, and all related matters, is removed? If this were to happen, then what next? What are the most likely outcomes for humanity and the rest of life on earth if this great secret is revealed? Can we conceive of a true liberation of human consciousness? Or will society spiral into chaos and even dissolution? Clearly, there are many variables that will affect the outcome, variables which we may not be able to know with certainty for some time. Even so, we can still have a productive inquiry on the matter.

This course will give you :
  • The best understanding we currently have of the true structure of global power as it is currently configured
  • Sophisticated analysis of the complexities of contact between humans and the non-human presence that appears to lay behind the core of the UFO mystery.
  • Practical guidelines on how to engage our system to promote positive change toward ending generations of secrecy.
  • A vision of what may be our near future, and insights about how best each of us can transform our thinking to help make it happen, to interact constructively with the intelligences that are here, and to create a new way of living based on peace and sustainability.

'Evolver Intensives' in association with 'Psychedelic Adventure' presents our newest course series starting on October 9th, "Awakening the Cosmic Serpent II: Ayahuasca, Ancient Remedy for Modern Times". Join Jeremy Narby for this pathbreaking 5-part online course that explores the mysteries at the heart of ancient shamanic practices and the visionary states they entail. This Evolver Intensives web seminar includes live video conversations with five of the world's leading experts on the shamanic use of mind-altering plants: Steve Beyer, Benny Shanon, Kenneth Tupper, Susana Bustos, and Martina Hoffmann.

Not long ago, the vine of the soul, Ayahuasca, was virtually unknown outside the Amazon region. Today it attracts the attention of legions of Western seekers drawn to the prospect of deep wisdom available through indigenous shamanic practices that involve the use of psychedelic plants. Ayahuasca is revered by ancient tribal societies as a potent teacher capable of healing the body, expanding the mind, and strengthening community.

  • What can modern people can learn from indigenous cultures about the use of ayahuasca as part of a healing practice?
  • What can be learned directly from the spirit vine -- which can be a powerful and tricky teacher -- and how can we incorporate these lessons into our daily lives?
  • In what ways do indigenous people benefit from the Western interest in shamanism, and what new cultural bridges are being built through the spread of indigenous spiritual practices?

The renowned anthropologist Jeremy Narby has explored these questions for over two decades. In his much-admired books, including The Cosmic Serpent and Shamans, Through Time, Jeremy has shared his wisdom and insights. Last winter, Jeremy hosted his first Evolver Intensives course, Awakening the Cosmic Serpent: Shamanism and Plant Teachers in this Transformative Time, which offered a rare opportunity to explore the nuances of plant medicine with some of the world's leading visionary thinkers on the subject. This course gives you the tools you need to integrate the shamanic knowledge offered by ayahuasca into your life, so you can fully embrace the change called for by this time of global transformation.

In this interview, Joe Rogan discusses his experiences with DMT and sensory deprivation flotation tanks, while sharing thoughts about 2012 and predictions for the near future. This is the first in a series called "2012: Time for Change Presents", which will feature celebrities and luminaries talking about conscious evolution and practical solutions.



Here is more about the film, 2012 Time for Change, which premieres this week in San Francisco at the Lumiere-Landmark: "2012: Time for Change" projects a radical alternative to apocalyptic doom and gloom. Directed by Emmy Award nominee Joao Amorim, the film follows journalist Daniel Pinchbeck, author of the bestselling 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, on a quest for a new paradigm that integrates the archaic wisdom of tribal cultures with the scientific method. As conscious agents of evolution, we can redesign post-industrial society on ecological principles to make a world that works for all. Rather than breakdown and barbarism, 2012 will herald the birth of a regenerative planetary culture, where collaboration replaces competition, where exploration of psyche and spirit becomes the new cutting edge, replacing the sterile materialism that has pushed our world to the brink.

For millennia, cultures around the world opened minds and expanded visions with "plant teachers" what we commonly know now as psychedelics. Can we use psychedelics to heal ? Can we use them to connect, evolve ? Join us in October for the Evolver Intensives tele-seminar "The Future of Psychedelics : Exploring Their Potential for Insight and Healing."

This series consists of four calls with some of the world's leading researchers and historians in consciousness-expanding medicines: Graham Hancock, author of the best-selling Fingerprints of the Gods and Supernatural; psychedelics researcher and pioneer, Rick Doblin, Ph.D., director of Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS); spiritual teacher Satyen Raja; and Amanda Feilding, director of the Beckley Foundation, the leading British research institution focusing on the science of drug use and the nature of consciousness. We invite you to join our host Daniel Pinchbeck for an extraordinary series of live, in-depth conversations. Go beneath the surface and take part in the kind of learning encounter you cannot find in the mainstream media.


At this critical time in history, when the limitations of our consciousness are suffocating our creativity and joy with the refuse generated by our short-sightedness, what if we could go back to the source to open up new possibilities -- first in our minds, then in the world around us?

For centuries, indeed for millennia, cultures have used naturally occurring psychedelic plants to free themselves from limited vision, limited ego, physical ailments and the cycles of suffering and recrimination that doom people to closed-end systems of unintended destruction. What if there was another way?

For four evenings in October, join five leading lights on the potential of psychedelics to liberate us as individuals and to revolutionize our culture, and learn ...

* how altered states from psychedelic plants have been fundamental to the evolution of human behavior and are indispensable to the survival and success of our society in the future

* why psychedelics are one of the most important paths to healing the trauma of war and treating anxiety associated with end-of-life

* how plant medicines can shift your idea of the "self," opening up new understandings of interconnectivity, social connection and responsibility

* what to "do" with perceptions that our current walking world is a constructed "dreamstate" and how to build a more just, kind, evolving version of it

These are just some a few of the fascinating topics we will be exploring in this Tele-Class Series with an extraordinary faculty !

It all starts on October 15. Sign up now by visiting: http://www.evolverintensives.com/Psychedelics


"The first 2 people who email us here at [email protected] will get this series for free."


" We have our 2 winners ... Otis Funkmeyer and Aaron Dietrich ! Wish all have an evolving experience and share the learning with all of us and see it grow ... Thank You All ... Stay Tuned ! "

Horizons is a annual forum for learning about psychedelics. It is hosted by Judson Memorial Church in New York City. It's goal is to open a fresh dialogue about psychedelics and rethink their role in medicine, culture, history, spirituality and art. The Speakers at Horizon 2008 were Daniel Pinchbeck, Allan Hunt Badiner, Robert Forte, David Nichols, Ph.D., Roland Griffiths, Ph.D., Dimitri Mobengo Mugianis, Dan Merkur, Sasha Shulgin, Ph.D. and Ann Shulgin, Psyche and Delia, Alex and Allyson Grey, Sean Helfritsch & Isaiah Saxon, Rick Doblin, Ph.D. and Bob Wold.

Psychedelics are a unique class of psychoactive drugs that have been used by humans for thousands of years. In the 1950s and early 1960s, academic research with psychedelics yielded important discoveries in psychology and neuroscience. Just a few years later, they entered popular culture across North America, Europe and the world.

Questions about their safety, medical value, history and implications in politics and culture were unfortunately answered with numerous myths spread by both their users and the media. The millennial rave fever brought a similar wave of popularity and hysteria.

Recently, a renaissance in psychedelic research and dialogue has taken shape. Horizons brings together the brightest minds and boldest voices of this movement to share their insights and dreams for the future.

Daniel Pinchbeck is one of the founders of Open City, an art and literary journal. He was a 1999-2000 Fellow of the National Arts Journalism Program at Columbia University and has written for many leading magazines. Author of 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl (Tarcher/Penguin, 2006) and Breaking Open the Head (Broadway Books, 2002). He is also the Editorial Director for Reality Sandwich.

Daniel Pinchbeck on The Future of Psychedelics

Beyond the potential for psychedelics in medicine and psychotherapy, these substances may have importance as tools for creativity, scientific innovation, and spiritual communion. As psychedelic research develops, we can look at the role of plant teachers and shamanism in tribal cultures for perspectives on what the future of psychedelics might hold for our desacralized postmodern world.

Manifesting The Mind, a documentary on Psychedelics & Shamanism from 'Bouncing Bear Films' featuring interviews with renowned experts such as Daniel Pinchbeck, John Major Jenkins, Dennis McKenna, Nick Herbert, Alex Grey & Dr. Rick Strassman to name a few. This is the first release from Bouncing Bear Films which comprises of Andrew & Jennifer Rutajit and all other folks from Bouncing Bear Botanicals. 'Manifesting The Mind' gives us a broad perspective on psychedelics, how we can benefit from them and why is the use of psychedelics suppressed by the mainstream media and governments of the world.


Andrew Rutajit attended college for film, but left the field to pursue the writing of his two books, Astrotheology & Shamanism (co-author) and The Vestibule (author). Although his focus was on writing for several years, his passion has always been film - namely directing and production. Andrew brings years of experience and a dynamic vision to all of his work. In 2007, Andrew produced The Pharmacratic Inquisition with Jan Irvin and realized film was where he wanted to focus his creative energy. His first film was well received and became a catalyst for Andrew's current projects. He works with his wife, Jennifer, a writer by trade. She serves as associate producer for all films. Andrew also lectures on various topics, such as religion and entheogens. In addition, Andrew has also dabbled in art and music; as a result, he produces original music and graphics for his films.

Andrew is also the co-owner of Gnostic Media, which is a multimedia production and publishing company geared toward the separation of mythology and reality - historical accuracy.

Jennifer attended college in Boston for art history and has been a copy writer/editor, substitute teacher and curriculum writer. Jennifer is an advocate for various causes, such as animal rights.

With the help of Bouncing Bear Botanicals, they founded Bouncing Bear Films and 'Manifesting The Mind' is the first of a 3 part documentary series called 'Footprints Of The Shaman' to be released by the spring of 2009.

Part 2 will include a discussion with Dennis McKenna, DM Murdock, Timothy Freke, and Peter Gandy on the topic of religion. Several others will be interviewed in this film but these four authors will help lead the way. Part 3 is a discussion on the topic of Christmas. One may ask, “What does Christmas have to do with the ‘Footprints of the Shaman’ ?” This is a good question and we assure you that this question will be settled by the end of this film.


Quotes from the documentary :

" Sometimes there is a tendency in the psychedelic community to almost become like an entheogenic fundamentalist and think that all visionary experience was mediated by psychedelic plants, and the origin of all religions is based on the use of these substances. "

~ Daniel Pinchbeck

Guess what he's trying to say is that the ritualistic use of entheogens is one of the many ways to alter your states of consciousness ! Perhaps one of the oldest known traditions to connect with the invisible universe however not the only one by any means.



[Entheogens present] "... the capacity for the human being to experience infinite love and total self forgiveness ... a sense of deep interconnectedness with the planet, with all people, with the cosmos ! "

~ Alex Grey

" Here is a body of beliefs... and you are just supposed to accept it. Don't ask questions. Sit down and shut up. Entheogens are threatening because they enable people, or sometimes compel people to reject that."

~ Dennis McKenna

There have been many prophesies for us to think about over the ages. Some have materialized while others have not.

All prophecy is fluid and changeable. The future is not set in stone. The reason is simple. We create our own reality through our collective thinking otherwise known as the mass consciousness. What a prophet "sees" is one of the probable outcomes of our future. If we don't like what the prophet has to say, we have the power to change it. The key word here is "WE" !

Cosmic cycles are nothing new to our ancestors. They are a part of the lore and history of many ancient civilizations. The Mayans studied them with a passion, and they served as the foundation of their sky religion. Even Plato was aware of the most important cycle for our planet occurring every 25,920 years, which he and others called the Great Year.

Today we find ourselves at the end of the 2160-year Age of Pisces, the beginning of Aquarius, the close of the Mesoamerican fifth world, the ending of the Kali Yuga (Iron Age) of the Hindus, and the extreme end of the Great Year.

The sacred scriptures of the Indian Vedas describe cycles of creation spanning millions of years in the past including civilizations that flourished, and those that decayed and perished. Ours is just one of many.

The momentous crossroads in cosmic time we are fast approaching around 2012 has been prophesized by the Hopis, the Mayans, the Aztecs, and many others. Some of that information is briefly summarized below.

On this page, you will also find excerpts of fifteen different sources of channeled transmissions that I take seriously. All are saying the same basic thing. And I find it hard to ignore.

Here is the information that has influenced my thinking...


The Maya

The Mayan civilization appeared approximately 3,500 years ago in the jungles of Mexico. It seems to have arisen over night because their culture was already elaborately developed from the start. Although many Maya are still alive today, the demise of their relatively advanced civilization occurred 900 years ago.

Mayan artifacts tell us in no uncertain terms that they were master astronomers with an intimate knowledge of the heavens. And they were obsessed with recording cycles of cosmic time.

The Classic Maya described five different ages that existed in the distant past, each lasting some 5,125 years. They have also told us that each of those ages ended in cataclysmic cleansing of the negative karma that was created by mankind. Then, with the start of each new era, the evolution of mankind would begin again from the seeds of the survivors left behind.

According to the Maya, the fifth and final age began approximately 5,125 years ago. One has to wonder why their calendar, constructed more than two thousand years ago, mysteriously ended with the fifth age at "zero point," on the winter solstice of 2012? Is there no next age?





The Hopis

The Hopi, whose name means "people of peace," have sacred traditions that go back thousands of years. Their time-honored teachings point to certain prophecies that would manifest just before a great purification takes place on planet Earth. It would be a time when the world would shudder and tremble causing much destruction, in order to cleanse the planet of the karmic negativity we have created while serving as its caretakers.

Not too long ago, the Hopis have said that those prophecies have now completed. It appears that the time for purification is upon us, as we approach 2012.

Here are some of the signs heralding the coming purification telling us that it is near...

Trees everywhere will be dying (it's going on right now).

People will build a house a throw it in the sky (Skylab, Mir, the current space station)

Cold places will become hot and hot places cold (that is happening with global warming, global weather patterns are changing)

Land will sink beneath the sea and rise above it (such changes have already begun)

The appearance of a blue star (in 1987 a blue star made its presence known when a hot blue super-giant exploded and made world history as a spectacular supernova)

There will be paths in the sky (airplane contrails and chemtrails)

There will be cobwebs in the air (power lines all over the United States)

A "gourd of ashes" will be dropped from the sky to burn the land and boil the oceans (atomic bomb)

These signs are pretty obvious, and all have come to pass.

The Hopis are also briefly mentioned in Shirley MacLaine's latest book, "The Camino." She says that:

"I had friends in the States who were involved with the Hopi Indian tribe. The Hopis said that the last decade of the twentieth century and after the turn of the millennium, it would be necessary for man to 'tie himself to a tree.' In other words, 'big wind.'

The Hopis also said the weather would become unpredictable and would 'cleanse away many things with wind and rain.' They said we must each be self-sustained and go back to growing our food from Mother Earth. Above all, they said, man needed to go within himself in order to gain spiritual understanding of what would be happening. Their prophecies matched the Mayan prophecies."


Fingerprints of the Gods
By Graham Hancock


In his best selling book, Fingerprints of the Gods, Graham Hancock conducted an exhaustive investigation into mankind's remote past. This effort took him all over the world from the Great Sphinx, to the Hopis, to the Andean ruins, and to the monuments of many ancient civilizations, including the Maya. Hancock believes that within the records and monuments of these ancient civilizations there is an important message for us.

Graham concludes that in our distant past there were others who were very advanced technologically, but not spiritually, such as the Atlanteans. This imbalance led to their demise. The "fingerprints" of information that our ancestors left for us to discover and contemplate warn of terrible Earth changes that periodically afflict our planetary home. And the end of another cycle appears to be upon us.


The Transmissions

As mentioned above, there are 13 different sources of channeled information I've seriously considered that say we are about to experience a profound and radical change (shift) on this planet.

It appears we have been at this point before without successfully balancing the material and the spiritual aspects of our lives. As a result, Earth went through drastic physical changes to cleanse the negative karma we've created, and we had to start all over again.

However, there appears to be an additional twist to what is coming. Not only is a cleansing expected, but along with the upheaval, a fork might well occur in the road of human destiny around the year 2012.

One fork represents the continuation of the 3rd dimension, the dimension of physicality in which we now find ourselves. The other will be a newly opened path to a higher dimension, which will lead to the Golden Years the ancients spoke of long ago. The choices we make, and the quality of life we lead, will determine which path opens for us.

Here are some channeled transmissions for the coming changes that have influenced my thinking. Many of them reference the year 2012.


Revelation
David Spangler (1970s)


"Great changes have occurred in kingdoms beyond yours and they are also moving into a new heaven and new earth."

"My power has been liberated and all now move swiftly toward their appointed destinies as their consciousnesses have chosen. Your world shall become - and swiftly it shall become - two worlds. You will call one light and one dark, but I am in both of them"

"Increasingly, the worlds will move apart in consciousness until they are absolutely separate and perceive each other no more. For it is written that two will be at work in the vineyards; one shall be taken and the other remain. I shall snatch you up to me."

"Seek me and you have found peace... Let no man who would be of me have fear."

"The old will disappear. Human level consciousness by itself can no longer resolve the complexities it has created."

"I have come to shepherd the old into a place of its further outworking. I have stated that no sheep that is lost shall go unsought."

"The old must pass away. It has served its purpose in the cycles of evolution and must now make way for a new, more expanded and more fruitful manifestation."

"Always be prepared for change. I have stated that all may change in the twinkling of an eye and you may find yourselves in another world of consciousness, opportunity, and behavior entirely."

"In terms of physical personality relationships, I can be a sword that divides and separates. Release them to me, no matter where their destiny leads them."


Flight Into Freedom
God Spoke To Me
Eileen Caddy
Cofounder of The Findhorn Community
(1970s-1980s)


"Wake up to the turbulent state of the world. Humankind is drawing further away from the source of all good into the darkness. You can feel the unrest, the disquiet, everywhere. Humans have brought this upon themselves by their free will. The have made the choice of power, greed, hatred, jealousy and envy and must take the consequences. There is no hope of averting the landslide, but exactly how it is to be brought about can be sped up or slowed down by the behaviour of the human race."

"This is the turning point for every soul. The die has been cast, and each soul has to make a choice: a turning towards the light or the dark. The day many have been waiting for is over. The cosmic power released at that appointed moment, felt by you and many others, has begun to reverberate around the universe. Nothing will stop it."

"Great changes are about to take place in the whole universe. It will not be a comfortable time. It is important that each one has no fear, no concern, knowing that this great upheaval is necessary before the next step can be taken."


The Ra Material - Book 1
Don Elkins, Carla Rueckert
& James Allen McCarty
(1970s)


"There is going to be a Harvest, as you might call it, a harvest of souls that will shortly occur on your planet. We are attempting to extract the greatest possible harvest from this planet. This is our mission, for we are the Harvesters."

"In order to be most efficient, we are attempting to create first a state of seeking among the people of this planet who desire to seek... We offer them no concrete proof, as they have a way of expressing it. We offer them Truth. This is an important function of our mission - to offer Truth without proof. In this way, the motivation will, in each and every case, come from within the individual."

"I am Ra. One major cycle is approximately 25,000 of your years. There are three cycles of this nature during which those who have progressed may be harvested at the end of the three major cycles. That is, approximately between 75 and 76,000 of your years. All are harvested regardless of their progress, for during that time the planet itself has moved through the useful part of that dimension, and begins to cease being useful for the lower levels of vibration within that density."

"I am Ra. This inconvenience (Earth changes) or disharmonious vibratory complex, has begun several of your years in your past. It shall continue unabated for a period of approximately thirty of your years."

(This transmission was given in 1981. Thirty years later would be 2011).


The Starseed Transmissions
Starseed - The Third Millennium
Return of the Bird Tribes
Ken Carey (1970s-1980s)


"Our mission is to bring a pre-Fall state of awareness to all human beings who are able to respond, however different they may be, whatever background they may have come from..."

"You are being given an opportunity to enter a new reality. It is already here for those with eyes to see. Soon it will be the only reality to be seen. Those who tune into the new frequencies (of love) will find life growing more wondrous every day. Those who tune into fear will find things falling apart. The worlds of consciousness will begin to form ever more distinctly; the world of Love and Life, and the world of fear and death."

"... you will think of all the years of your history up until The Coming shortly after Second Millennium A.D., as being years of darkness, years in spent the womb. You will remember nothing about them."

"As the twentieth century draws to a close, a new generation - your own - finds itself settled along the very banks of the river. Already pioneers have set out from among you to explore the other shore. Soon there will be a massive crossing of human beings from one side of this river to the other, from the subconscious realms, where fear is the primary source of motivation, to the conscious realms, which know only the motives of love."

"Those few who may choose to remain behind will not be uncared for. They will experience an age of further history, much like the history that humans have experienced in the past."

"Five Centuries before the dawn of the present era, in the jungles of the Yucatan, we brought to the Awakened Ones of that age a timetable, which they carefully recorded in stone. The Mayan Calendar is recovered now from moss, fern, lizard and leaf. In it are chiseled the dates of the Great Purification, dates that correspond to your years, 1987 to 2011. The winter solstice of the last year of this intensified twenty-five year cycle will see the purification complete, the era of human history brought forever to a close."


An Introduction to the Keys of Enoch
J. J. Hurtak (1973)


"While I was in the act of prayer calling upon the name of the Father, asking to know the meaning of life and for what reason I was called into the world, my room suddenly became full of a different type of light. And in the presence of this 'Light' a great Being stood before me who announced that he was Master Ophanim Enoch."

"The being asked if I were ready to go with him to the Father's midst, and I said I was."

So begins J. J. Hurtak's surreal experience, during which he was given the 64 Keys of Enoch that explain how the Seven Seals of the Book of Revelation will be broken (decoded).

The 64 Keys will help to "bring a new cosmology of consciousness in explaining how the Brotherhoods of Light will work with members of the human race who can accept the promise of a new life."

Below are some excerpts from this book, which point to the coming changes that will affect every one on this planet.

"There is presently occurring a space-time overlap with the 'Higher Evolution' as the Earth's solar system enters an electromagnetic null zone, a vacuum area in space which will change the magnetic forces of creation."

"The change of the electromagnetic density in the Earth's atmosphere will activate some species to become more violent and other species to more Christ-like as man is pulled either into an upward spiral of Light or negated by the breakdown of the old electromagnetic frequency.

This will bring about a complete reorganization of the Earth's life system..."

"Before the new story of creation happens, the Earth will go through gross geo-magnetic and catastrophic changes as the magnetic regions of the North and South Pole release 'their torque,' spinning the shell (crustal surface) of the Earth into the new program of existence."

"For behold, the field is white and ready for harvest... the Creator of this local 'galactic universe' will gather the remaining righteous on this Earth who will be 'graduated' to go on to Light-Life worlds."

"And it will occur after the wars between the Sons of Light versus the Sons of Darkness that a 'New Age' will occur for all of mankind surviving the great changes..."

"There is a forming of the new worlds at this time for there is to be soon existent new planets... The Nine shall place upon the new realms those 'physical souls' who have perfected themselves upon the Earth plane. Those souls who have evolved to the highest point of advancement on Earth shall be of the New Creation."

"The younger souls of the faithful who survive the old program will become the physical seed of the Christ people upon the planet. The faithful who are already initiated into the many gifts will be taken to other planets. This will come to pass only after the unrighteous are removed from the face of the earth. At that time the earth will be in a new electromagnetic orbit and there will be new heavens and new earth."


We The Arcturians
Norma Milanovich, Ph.D.(1980s)


"This transitional period through which the Earth is now passing is unlike any that has ever been experienced in the records of beloved Terra. It will be another 26,000 years before the planet again, has the opportunity to assume the strength and position that it will soon experience in the New Age."

"Humankind is just beginning to feel a shift of consciousness resulting in a happier condition... Individuals of higher states of consciousness are beginning to separate themselves from those individuals of lower, more angry states. The vibrational frequencies of the two sets of individuals are beginning to clash... this clash will become more obvious."

"Planet Earth is beginning to prepare for the cleansing of negative energy that surrounds her. You have already seen the signs with the violent weather changes, volcanoes that have erupted and will continue to erupt, earthquakes, and the changing ozone layer... The energy of humankind has polluted beloved Terra long enough. The cleansing will be complete."

"You see, each planet and star system goes through similar periods of trials and errors as the Earth is doing right now. We are here to help one of the most difficult birthing processes that has ever been the challenge to any of the Beings in the universe."

"The people of Earth are on a path that is irreversible. On this journey, they must realize that Light and love are the only two qualities that can be adhered to for advancement into the New Age."

"But souls must choose which one they will master. There are only two choices: there is love and Light, or there is fear. Choose, our dearest brothers and sisters of the universe. And make this choice before the portal of time into this new dimensional frequency closes and makes the choice for you."

"There is no punishment for those who choose not to enter this Kingdom (Golden Age), and it is clear that many souls on Earth today are not ready to make this journey with their magnificent master (Christ). The only 'punishment' is time, as you have defined it on Earth. Those who do not wish to take part in Jesus' hospitality, are those who must wait for the next appropriate time when the portal will again be opened. This portal in time will occur again approximately 26,000 years from the present moment."


E. T. 101
Zoev Jho (late 1980s)

"The old world's systems are in collapse. Those who wish to continue in those systems will be graciously asked to leave, because their motivator, fear, is being relocated to another planet where its subdivisions are still welcome."

"In fulfillment of Native American prophecies, intergalactic and interdimensional forces have gathered on this planet at this time to liberate her in the name of Spirit."

"The Earth has elected to evolve beyond limitation; however, anyone who opts to explore that process further is free to do so - just not on this planet. Such people will be allowed to continue their experiments with limitation on some other piece of planetary property that is at a less advanced stage in its evolution."

"This is the most critical moment of change in this planet's history, and your assistance in that change is vital."


Kryon - The End Times
Kryon - Alchemy of the Human Spirit
Partnering with God
Lee Carroll (1990s)


"... regardless of how peaceful you have become, and regardless of your level of enlightenment, you absolutely will react to the stress of the earth. As for the question of mass termination: Will it be necessary for large numbers of humankind to be terminated in order to achieve balance? The answer is yes. The numbers, however, only approach one percent of the life force here. This will not be global termination."

"Who will it be? It is thus: those with absolutely no hope whatsoever of achieving any greater enlightenment than they already have will move on."

"The oldest tribes on the planet are very aware of what is happening, for their calendars predicted it. The change, however, will be different than expected. It will be the age of graduation instead of an ending of life. It is the graduation of the Earth and the entering of it into new areas of the galaxy (formerly hidden). It will be the graduation of the human being into a new consciousness, and new ways of life (formerly hidden)."

"The year 2012 will then be what you call a marker that will meld slowly into a new time... so look at your Mayan calendar to find out what it says about 2012. Look into the past to see what spiritual historians have said about 2012..."

"For the year 2012, if you believe your ancient history and also the ones that foretold about time itself, is when your time apparently ends! What could that mean? Some have said it means the end of the planet - termination. However, it really means change, dear ones."

"The ascension timeline is a 24-year window. From the end of 1997 on, or about the beginning of 2001, is the window."

"We have told you that some may go partway and that it's appropriate to stop - and that there is no judgment over this. We have also told you that some will go all the way. What's going to happen in 2012? Another measurement. And if, dear ones, that measurement is found to be a certain vibration, you are all going to see an entirely different planet - and that is what is going to trigger the mass landing."


The P'taah Tapes
Transformation of the Species
An Act of Faith
Jani King (early 1990s)


"... your planet has gone through cyclic changes as has humanity... And now, dear ones, the whole Earth is quickening. The heart of humanity is quickening in anticipation of the culmination of this epoch... this year 1992 is important because it truly does mark the beginning of what has been historically called in your ancient writings 'the last days.'"

"Now it is very important for all to understand that this timing, the world as you know it, will fall into greater and greater chaos... The failure of your institutions and the Earth changes, have already begun, but will accelerate in 1992."

"It (the changes) will affect the galaxies, dear one. These changes are not merely confined to this planet. It is a different alignment of star systems; it is not only this planet. It is coming into a different alignment of universes... it is beneficial to many worlds that your transition be one of great beauty, that it is one of joy, that it be one of love, that there be absence of fear."

"There is room for millions and millions and millions of creations within the same space. There is not merely one Earth."

"So in this time to come, which is very soon in your historical times, the Earth will shift and change; the consciousness of humanity will expand and expand and it will rise to what is called a higher density..."

"There are many of you who are terrified that you will die before the 'big bang' and cannot experience the reality of the fourth dimension. Well, you will not miss out. I promise you."

"... what will be occurring in the next twenty of your years is that the portal will grow until it encircles the Earth, thus signifying the change... and as we have said before, your planet, that you believe is a concrete solid mass, is in fact many Earths occupying the same space, but in a different time continua."

"The transition, the coming into ONENESS of all things, may be as quickly as the blink of the eye... For those who do not desire it, they will not experience it. Always, always it is your choice."



St. Germain - Earth Birth Changes
Azena (early 1990s)


"It is nigh unto the ripeness of time - indeed - a culmination of eons of time unto the harvest. The time is now... The rapture will allow you to perceive fourth density... therefore third density will no longer be able to perceive you, for you will be simultaneously existing, coexisting in the same space/time, but merely not perceived, because it is of a different frequency."

"The year 2012 of your time is the apex of it. It is a convergence point into unlimitedness..."

"Alright. Cycles - there are cycles within cycles within cycles. There are many, many, many different cycles that are culminating in this now. The reason for the focus on planet Earth, and for all the galactic confederations coming forth unto this area of your solar system, is because the universe is in the shifting of densities.... it is also occurring to the astral body of Earth, the etheric body Earth, and the soul body of Earth."

"There are other third density Earths..."

"These particular dates (2012) are all shifting, because consciousness is shifting all the time. It is a flux. It appears that it is somewhere between 2010 and 2013 of your now."

"and when fourth density or super-consciousness comes upon the plane, it will not be perceiving third density and third density will not be perceiving fourth density, for they will be different dimensions then. Now they are co-existent dimensions, and when super-consciousness prevails, the shift will occur and that is called a rapture."

"In many references your harvest is your fourth density transformation, your ascension. Some would call it rapture."


Songs of the Arcturians
Songs of Melantor
Arcturian Songs of the Masters of Light
Patricia Pereira


"Your planet is calibrating its celestial resonating periods. That is to say, its vibrational third-dimensional density state is being transplanted by fourth- and fifth-density restructuring in accordance with harmonics that are sung by the universe.

"Earth is in the midst of a quantum event. The radical quickening, or speeding up, of time is but one aspect of the ethereal adjustments being made in preparation for a massive spatial transfer of the planet and its inhabitants."

"Firm notice is hereby given to those who have no sense of moral or ethical integrity in accordance with Universal Law, those who dissipate their energies in destructive acts, will not find themselves inhabiting this world in the future."

"We have come to Earth to harvest our crops - the precious starseeds. The day nears for us to bundle them up and transport them Home."

"Mother Earth has begun a process to remove the scabs of industrial pollution that cover her careworn face. She is readying herself to slough off the disease and decay that torment her delicate skin... Those who survive the upcoming deluge are destined to take a grandstand seat at her greatest performance."

"Although a series of catastrophic-appearing occurrences are scheduled prior to the cessation of this phase of human history, humanity's greatest fear - that of total annihilation - is not a planned event."

"Many will not ascend when the starships come to Earth. Vast numbers of humans have very young Souls and are not yet evolved to the point when they can grasp concepts of Universal Law or think of Planet Earth as a living being... Many young souls by necessity will travel in the ways of darkness, for the pathway though the lower realms is one that must be taken by developing Souls."

"End time events are carefully orchestrated and are unfolding according to Divine Plan. In spite of dire predictions of a dying civilization, a new-dawn world will be erected on the labors of brave humans like you who have challenged yourself to awaken. Like a phoenix you are rising from the ashes of an outdated time to germinate the structures of an entirely new whole-Earth society. The inhabitants of this newly structured world, aware of their familial connection to the inhabitants of the galactic core, will live in peace, harmony and unconditional love."



Conversations with God
Book 3
Neale Donald Walsch (late 1990s)


"Walsch: You mean I can avoid the Earth shifting on its axis, or being smashed by a meteor, or being crumpled by earthquakes, or be caught in the confusing and hysterical aftermath of Y2K?

God: You can definitely avoid being affected negatively by any of that.

Walsch: That wasn't what I asked You.

God: But it is what I answered. Face the future fearlessly, understanding The Process and seeing the perfection of it all.

That peace, that serenity that calmness will lead you away from most of the experiences and outcomes others would have called "negative."

God continued:... I am saying that once before on your planet you had reached the heights - beyond the heights, really, - to which you now are slowly climbing. You had a civilization on Earth more advanced than the one now existing. And it destroyed itself.

Not only did it destroy itself, it nearly destroyed everything else as well. It did this because it did not know how to deal with the very technologies it had developed. Its technological evolution was so far ahead of its spiritual evolution that it wound up making technology its God.

Walsch: This all happened here, on this Earth?

God: Yes

Walsch: Are you talking about the Lost City of Atlantis?

God: Some of you have called it that.

Walsch: And Lemuria? The land of Mu?

God: That is also part of your mythology.

Walsch: So then it is true? We did get to that place before?

God: Oh beyond it, my Friend. Way beyond it.

Walsch: And we did destroy ourselves?

God: Why are you surprised? You're doing the same thing now."


Messages From Heaven
Patricia Kirmond (late 1990s)


These messages come from a man who past away when he was 80 years of age. He sent the transmissions to his twin flame, the author of this book.

"The nation (USA) is experiencing a time similar to when the Roman Empire crumbled and when the continent of Atlantis sank. People's senses grow dull. They do not feel the deterioration of the basic moral fiber of the nation, or they feel it and do not know what to do about it."

"I do not feel that you will avoid all cataclysm, but you still have time to change the worst portents."

"... for people who do not understand the law of cycles. New cycles cannot begin until the karma of the previous cycle is cleared."

"You must prepare for some very hard years on a planetary scale. No one will be totally free from cataclysm and earth changes."

"What people find hard to understand is that in this period of time major karma has come due."

"I can tell you that the energies are intensifying. When energies intensify, people are often tested in unprecedented ways."

"At times like this, people are facing increased returning karma so they can balance the maximum amount before the turning of cycles. This can be a test that pushes you toward the limits of what you feel you can handle. Remember to stay anchored in God when all seems to be in chaos."

"Before a Golden Age can occur, every jot and tittle of karma comes up for balancing... The cosmic justice system is one of the most incredible things I have come to understand. We are given free will to create and select as we wish, but we are also given accountability."

"It is important to remember our ancient history. During former golden ages, life was peaceful and justice reigned."

"The ascended masters have been warning lightbearers for years concerning the necessity for worldwide change and the possible earth changes that will need to occur as a result of mankind's misuse of energy."

"What the masters are saying is that no one will be completely spared. No matter what, a certain level of cataclysm will occur."


The Calling
Amitabh through Rasha (late 1990s)


The wisdom in The Calling is from a collective, loving consciousness called "Amitabh." The Amitabh energy is The Father Consciousness whose information is Divine Guidance from an aspect of God.

"What has come to be termed Christ Consciousness is the condition that all souls who survive into the Great Spiritual Age will attain. For in the coming times, none will remain who are defined by the limitation of physical expression."

"Freedom from fear of this momentary crossing-over (death) is a rudimentary prerequisite for functioning even at the most basic level in the times to come. For the transition will be massive, sudden and monumental."

"The fact of death will become a routine fact of life, as the majority of souls currently incarnate will chose either to pre-empt the coming times, or make their transition en masse with the bulk of humanity."

"Those whose destiny it is to remain physically incarnate on this planet will need to have a deep-seated understanding that this turn of events is not an ending, but rather a beginning. A fresh start of historic significance."

"One should expect to see many instances of political upheaval, wars, uprisings and other instances of mass chaos in the coming times as unenlightened souls find themselves, unknowingly, at the effect of the shifting vibrational energy forces."

"For a massive purging has been called for upon this planet for these times... and this will be accomplished in a multitude of ways... not merely with ecological occurrences, as has been commonly believed. Mankind will, in essence, annihilate itself in many areas of the globe in the coming times. And the behaviors causing the widescale societal breakdown to come will be a primary way in which that purging is achieved."

"There will be massive exits in the times to come. Illness will be epidemic. 'Accidents' will be rampant. Seismic disturbance and unusual weather conditions will claim a toll in human life. There will be much suffering and much fear. And in the confusion you may choose to shift your energies to a mode of calm, determined action aimed at maintaining your spiritual equilibrium under those conditions."

"Those who permit themselves to be swept into a state of panic and despair over the upheavals of these times are less likely to be able to withstand, psychologically and emotionally, the times to come."


A Master Speaks
through Benjamin Creme (late 1970s-1990s)


In another part of this web site, I describe the possibility that Christ may be on planet Earth at this very moment. I do not do so blindly, or without thoroughly researching such claims.

I recently read a book called A Master Speaks. After reading a few pages I immediately knew it had a very profound message. As a matter of fact, it had a message that went way beyond the profound. Interestingly, the book makes no claim for an author on the front cover. It was simply an inspired series of teachings and insights given to a Benjamin Creme during the 1970's.

Who wrote the book? The author was a Master whose inspired insights and teachings were then transcribed into words by Mr. Creme. Now, that in itself is not unusual for this New Age. There are many spiritually inspired books available today but here's what really got my attention.

The Master told Benjamin Creme, among other things, that the World Teacher --Christ-- the Master of all the Masters -- would return in about 20 years and that he (Creme) would have a role to play in the event if he chose to accept it.

Furthermore, Christ would be known as Maitreya, a name purposely chosen for its neutrality among nations so that no one single religion could selfishly claim Christ as their own "messiah."

Also, Maitreya was not here to form a religion but to play the same role He came to planet Earth for 2000 years ago... as a Teacher of Righteousness, to show us how to end injustice in this world through sharing and unconditional love for all.

According to the Master and Benjamin Creme, Maitreya (Christ) has been in London, England as an ordinary man since 1973 living in an Asian community. He now works behind the scenes with others to prepare the way for His public emergence, which can occur at any time. His presence will be confirmed on the "Day of Declaration" when He will appear on worldwide television. When that happens His energy will unmistakably enter all of us, hundreds of thousands of spontaneous healings will occur and there will be no doubt that He is the World Teacher for humanity.

These are no small claims to say the least. If true, it would be the most profound event in the history of mankind.

Furthermore, the messages say that humanity is at a crossroads, the future of which is dependent upon mankind's choices now. Should we make the highest choices, a new spiritual man and spiritual woman will be born into the Age of Aquarius, reflecting more and more their divine heritage.

Here are two statements that sum up the message of Maitreya and Benjamin Creme...

"Many times have you heard Me say that My coming means change. Specifically, the greatest change will be in the hearts and minds of men, for My return among you is a sign that men are ready to receive new life." -- Maitreya


"If I am correct, we are about to witness a total transformation of every aspect of our lives: we will create a new civilization more brilliant than has yet existed on this planet." -- Benjamin Creme

There is a lot of sobering information presented on this page. Creating it did not come easy for me. I received a lot of spiritual wisdom and insight from the above transmissions, and I benefited a great deal from them.

However, much of the information about the coming Earth changes was hard for me to ignore. Believe me, my intent is not to create fear here. Rather, I wish to inspire thought a sense of wonder about these messages, and let the reader decide for himself or herself.

What continues to intrigue me is...

There are 6 plus billion souls on planet Earth now. Where did we all come from? Apparently, all of us somehow participated in the creation of the current condition on planet Earth, and it is our karmic responsibility to be here at this moment in time.

We are now at the end of the Great 25,920-year cycle that the Mayans and many other ancient civilizations were so focused on. And they always wanted to know where they were in that cycle, because their lives depended upon it.

Half way through the Great Cycle, or about 13,000 years ago, Edgar Cayce said that the last of Atlantis went into the sea because of a major cataclysm. And the reason for the destruction of Atlantis was that its inhabitants were too focused on greed, self-pleasure and materialism. Sound familiar?

Over the past 40 years there has been a great wave of UFOs and crop circles witnessed on this planet, as if to raise attention to our cosmic heritage.

Over that same period of time a massive amount of spiritual/New Age information has been disseminated throughout the world via books, mass media and the Internet raising our awareness as spiritual beings.

The Hopi Indian prophecies have now been revealed and have come to pass.

This is also a time of rapid global warming and associated Earth changes are occurring at a rate that is much faster than expected. Why now?

Why has all of the above happened at a time when materialism, self-gratification and deception are reaching unprecedented levels in human history?

A long time ago, the Mayan calendar described 2012 as the end of the 5th age, or the end of the Great Cycle, which will be followed by a great cleansing. How did they know that so much would be going on at this moment in time?

No one can say for sure what's coming and when it might come. However, many others and I can sense the vibrational changes taking place on planet Earth these days. There is no question that things have gotten more intense for humankind over the past 15 years.

I have no doubt that there is an extraordinary shift in consciousness taking place on this planet that will bring about the next stage of humanity's development, whenever or however may occur. In my opinion, that is what the New Age is about.

It also appears that this shift is resulting in the polarization of people into two different groups: those calling for a higher level of consciousness based upon a love-centered approach to life, and those who cannot let go of their fear-based, self-serving ways of living.

There are good reasons to believe that this vibrational energy will continue to escalate as we head towards 2012. One cannot deny that there is an enormous amount of change taking place at a very rapid rate.

Clearly, one can begin to see that institutions and organizations, whose philosophies are based upon fear, deception, separation, and self-serving interests are beginning to lose credibility, and will now crumble and die. Good examples are today's greedy corporations and equally greedy business leaders, the White House, the military, FBI, CIA, the Vatican/Catholic Church, Israel, and many others to numerous to mention. Their karma is due. Their moment of truth has come.

On the contrary, new groups and organizations that desire a peaceful and sacred approach to life based upon love, honor, respect, self-responsibility and sharing are beginning to strengthen and flourish. They know that the outcome of goodness during the dawning Age of Aquarius is inevitable. They also realize that Aquarius will be a time when we will learn to live kindly, speak works of gentleness and wisdom, release our self-centered ways, and reconnect with our soul.

As for me, I am trying my best to stay God-centered, loving, fearless, in the moment and totally dependent upon Source for all that comes into my life. And I will not move from that sacred place regardless of what the future might bring.

Daniel Pinchbeck, the Editorial Director for Reality Sandwich is back with his latest book on 2012, called Toward 2012, Perspectives on the next Age ! The first Reality Sandwich Anthology which promises to be an adventurous enquiry into various elements of an ongoing shift in human consciousness, a deep celestial transformation underway affecting our planet in the near future.

The Prophecies, Crop Circles, Synchronicity, Extraterrestrials, Psychedelics, Dimensions, Socio-Political Upheaval, Electronic Dance Music, Organized Chaos, Sexuality, Religion, Metaphysics and the Shamanic evolution of cosmic consciousness would be some of the topics discussed in this book to be published on Dec 26 2008.

Here's what the cover jacket says about the book:

"This fresh and thought-provoking anthology draws together some of today’s most celebrated visionaries, thinkers, and pioneers in the field of evolving consciousness— exploring topics from shamanism to urban homesteading, the legacy of Carlos Castaneda to Mayan predictions for the year 2012, and new paths in direct political action and human sexuality.

Toward 2012 highlights some of the most challenging, intelligent pieces published on the acclaimed website Reality Sandwich. It is coedited by Daniel Pinchbeck, the preeminent voice on 2012, and online pioneer Ken Jordan, and features original works from Stanislav Grof, John Major Jenkins, and Paul D. Miller (DJ Spooky); interviews with Abbie Hoffman and artist Alex Grey; and a new introduction by Pinchbeck.

Here are ideas that trace the arc of our evolution in consciousness, lifestyles, and communities as we draw closer to a moment in time that portends ways of living that are different from anything we have expected or experienced."

We have an ego based personality and we have our soul which resides deep within, which is pure energy, some call it the higher self. As we progress on the path of awakening, we overcome the ego and let the soul within guide us through difficult times. A place of Love is where the soul dwells and it knows no fear. The ego brings to the human experience, pain and suffering of a splintered personality that needs healing. We can choose not to live unconsciously letting our egos come in the way of evolution of consciousness which is why we are all here !

Dr.Wayne W. Dyer suggests seven ways to transcend the ingrained ideas of an all important ego self ....



1. Stop being offended.

The behavior of others isn’t a reason to be immobilized. That which offends you only weakens you. If you’re looking for occasions to be offended, you’ll find them at every turn. This is your ego at work convincing you that the world shouldn't be the way it is. But you can become an appreciator of life and match up with the universal Spirit of Creation. You can’t reach the power of intention by being offended. By all means, act to eradicate the horrors of the world, which emanate from massive ego identification, but stay in peace. As A Course in Miracles reminds us: Peace is of God, you who are part of God are not at home except in his peace. Being is of God, you who are part of God are not at home except in his peace. Being offended creates the same destructive energy that offended you in the first place and leads to attack, counterattack, and war.

2. Let go of your need to win.

Ego loves to divide us up into winners and losers. The pursuit of winning is a surefire means to avoid conscious contact with intention. Why? Because ultimately, winning is impossible all of the time. Someone out there will be faster, luckier, younger, stronger, and smarter-and back you’ll go to feeling worthless and insignificant.

You’re not your winnings or your victories. You may enjoy competing, and have fun in a world where winning is everything, but you don’t have to be there in your thoughts. There are no losers in a world where we all share the same energy source. All you can say on a given day is that you performed at a certain level in comparison to the levels of others on that day. But today is another day, with other competitors and new circumstances to consider. You’re still the infinite presence in a body that’s another day (or decade) older. Let go of needing to win by not agreeing that the opposite of winning is losing. That’s ego’s fear. If your body isn’t performing in a winning fashion on this day, it simply doesn’t matter when you aren’t identifying exclusively with your ego. Be the observer, noticing and enjoying it all without needing to win a trophy. Be at peace, and match up with the energy of intention. And ironically, although you’ll hardly notice it, more of those victories will show up in your life as you pursue them less.

3. Let go of your need to be right.

Ego is the source of a lot of conflict and dissension because it pushes you in the direction of making other people wrong. When you’re hostile, you’ve disconnected from the power of intention. The creative Spirit is kind, loving, and receptive; and free of anger, resentment, or bitterness. Letting go of your need to be right in your discussions and relationships is like saying to ego, I’m not a slave to you. I want to embrace kindness, and I reject your need to be right. In fact, I’m going to offer this person a chance to feel better by saying that she’s right, and thank her for pointing me in the direction of truth.

When you let go of the need to be right, you’re able to strengthen your connection to the power of intention. But keep in mind that ego is a determined combatant. I’ve seen people end otherwise beautiful relationships by sticking to their need to be right. I urge you to let go of this ego-driven need to be right by stopping yourself in the middle of an argument and asking yourself, Do I want to be right or be happy? When you choose the happy, loving, spiritual mood, your connection to intention is strengthened. These moments ultimately expand your new connection to the power of intention. The universal Source will begin to collaborate with you in creating the life you were intended to live.

4. Let go of your need to be superior.

True nobility isn’t about being better than someone else. It’s about being better than you used to be. Stay focused on your growth, with a constant awareness that no one on this planet is any better than anyone else. We all emanate from the same creative life force. We all have a mission to realize our intended essence; all that we need to fulfill our destiny is available to us. None of this is possible when you see yourself as superior to others. It’s an old saw, but nonetheless true: we are all equal in the eyes of God. Let go of your need to feel superior by seeing the unfolding of God in everyone. Don’t assess others on the basis of their appearance, achievements, possessions, and other indices of ego. When you project feelings of superiority that’s what you get back, leading to resentments and ultimately hostile feelings. These feelings become the vehicle that takes you farther away from intention. A Course in Miracles addresses this need to be special and superior: Special ness always makes comparisons. It is established by a lack seen in another, and maintained by searching for, and keeping clear in sight, all lacks it can perceive.

5. Let go of your need to have more.

The mantra of ego is more. It’s never satisfied. No matter how much you achieve or acquire, your ego will insist that it isn’t enough. You’ll find yourself in a perpetual state of striving, and eliminate the possibility of ever arriving. Yet in reality you’ve already arrived, and how you choose to use this present moment of your life is your choice. Ironically, when you stop needing more, more of what you desire seems to arrive in your life. Since you’re detached from the need for it, you find it easier to pass it along to others, because you realize how little you need in order to be satisfied and at peace.

The universal Source is content with itself, constantly expanding and creating new life, never trying to hold on to its creations for its own selfish means. It creates and lets go. As you let go of ego’s need to have more, you unify with that Source. You create, attract to yourself, and let it go, never demanding that more come your way. As an appreciator of all that shows up, you learn the powerful lesson St.Francis of Assisi taught:”…it is in giving that we receive.” By allowing abundance to flow to and through you, you match up with your Source and guarantee that this energy will continue to flow.

6. Let go of identifying yourself on the basis of your achievements.

This may be a difficult concept if you think you are your achievements. God writes all the music, God sings all the songs, God builds all the buildings, God is the source of all your achievements. I can hear your ego loudly protesting. Nevertheless, stay tuned to this idea. All emanates from Source! You and that Source are one! You’re not this body and its accomplishments. You are the observer. Notice it all; and be grateful for the abilities you’ve accumulated. But give all the credit to the power of intention, which brought you into existence and which you’re a materialized part of. The less you need to take credit for your achievements and the more connected you stay to the seven faces of intention, the more you’re free to achieve, and the more will show up for you. It’s when you attach yourself to those achievements and believe that you alone are doing all of those things that you leave the peace and the gratitude of your Source.

7. Let go of your reputation.

Your reputation is not located in you. It resides in the minds of others. Therefore, you have no control over it at all. If you speak to 30 people, you will have 30 reputations. Connecting to intention means listening to your heart and conducting yourself based on what your inner voice tells you is your purpose here. If you’re overly concerned with how you’re going to be perceived by everyone, then you’ve disconnected yourself from intention and allowed the opinions of others to guide you. This is your ego at work. It’s an illusion that stands between you and the power of intention. There’s nothing you can’t do, unless you disconnect from the power source and become convinced that your purpose is to prove to others how masterful and superior you are and spend your energy attempting to win a giant reputation among other egos. Do what you do because your inner voice always connected to and grateful to your Source-so directs you. Stay on purpose, detach from outcome, and take responsibility for what does reside in you: your character. Leave your reputation for others to debate; it has nothing to do with you. Or as a book title says: What You Think of Me Is None of My Business!
