TROUBLE CONTACTING MARS: NASA is suspending communications with Mars rovers and orbiters this month as the Red Planet passes almost directly behind the sun. Mars is less than 2^o from the sun now, and the distance will narrow to a mere 0.4^o on April 17th. "The sun can easily disrupt radio transmissions during the near-alignment," explains a NASA press release.

FAST-GROWING SUNSPOT: Solar activity is low, but a fast-growing sunspot could break the spell of quiet. AR1718 has more than doubled in size during the past 48 hours as shown in this movie from the Solar Dynamics Observatory:

At times it's hard to feel your connection to anything.

Life seems hard. You wake up even at the dawn of the new day with a sense of unhappiness, dissatisfaction, frustration, even anger. This is part of life in our evolution--that these feelings come to the surface. Are triggered by our relationships. Are fed by what we think about. Are deepened by our memories.

When we're in one of these experiences, it can feel all encompassing. It can feel like there is no way out.

When this feeling has gone on a while and as the mornings have come and gone, it has not lifted, it's easy to lose your orientation. You might even begin to feel just angry and outraged by the whole thing.

All of this just continues to stir up the muck. And yet, even knowing this, when you're in this space, that doesn't help. It seems like nothing helps. That no searching frees you. You lose your faith in asking for help. You stop calling upon angels and your higher self. You may not even feel their presence anymore and again, you find yourself astonishingly, seemingly, not connected to anything.

Dratzo! We come again with more to tell you. Your reality is extremely close to its major shift in consciousness. The secret sacred societies of your world have entered into new alliances which are to serve them well once your new style of governance comes into being. We have assurances from several governmental organizations that once Heaven gives the green light the new reality can begin without further delay. We continue to monitor the dark cabal as it is clear that this group remains determined to pursue its willful and destructive course of starting a widespread military conflict. This will not be permitted. We also continue to add names to the detention lists and watch closely those who are the guiding hand behind the ongoing nonsense of keeping your globe burdened with contrived, groundless confrontations. This global modus operandi will shortly become a thing of the past and your ascension path will cease to be interfered with or sidetracked, as it has been in recent years. Your new epoch is inevitable and our formal arrival will shortly be announced. To this end we have drawn up a rapid-action schedule for our arrival so as to be ready at a moment’s notice.
