Djwhal Khul ~ Chinese New Year And Mardi Gras

Djwhal Khul here. Tashi Delek.

Alright. We have Chinese New Year on the New Moon. It’s the year of the Black Water Snake, it can be quite a prosperous year for many. You can set your intent towards that energy and know that it will require some changes.

What is being called for now is to actively change self, so self-improvement, correcting wrong doings, working in the world from a higher vibration, responding to situations with more mastery, etc. And that is the true guide to prosperity there.

We will also have Mardi Gras and the vibration under the current influence of Jupiter energy, that is also very prosperous. The energy on the inner planes around Mardi Gras looks very festive, vibrant.

Again probably a more appropriate time to make New Year’s resolutions right around Mardi Gras, that day and the next day.

So vibrationally think about how you’re putting yourself forward in this New Year and what you want to receive as an outcome and what you are willing to do to achieve those.

DEEPAK CHOPRA FOR EARTH STAR NETWORK!  HELP BRING IN AN AMBASSADOR FOR THE REAL LIGHTWORKERS OF THE WORLD AND CO-CREATE OUR SHARED DREAM OF A HIGHER REALITY 

 

In August 2012 Earth Star Network (ESN) started gathering together lightworkers of every kind, from writers and musicians through to architects and graffiti artists, with the message that they would bring in the much anticipated change of the new age through working together and being love in action.  In November we set it as our collective intention to find a public ambassador to represent us all and in December 2012, Deepak Chopra published his own dream to be the representative of a network of "creativity and love in action".  ESN-ers, Unity in Oneness pledgers and other lightworking friends - here we have someone resonant with our own dream - let's truly begin to use our collective energy to see if we can bring this synchronicity into an exciting manifestation!

SOLAR SYSTEM CHANGES

Strange things are happening in both outer and inner space. Scientists in Russia, most prominently a scientist Dr Alexy Dmitriev, are discovering that the Solar System, the sun, and life itself are mutating in totally unprecedented ways.

Divine Spiral, Integrity, Choices & Power Chakra

a message from Kara Schallock

Wednesday, 6 February, 2013 

It seems like life is a series of ebbs and flows. Do you feel this? One day you feel very connected to Source and the next day you feel very lost and disconnected. If you will observe your life as a spiral, you see that you continue to rise and yet come to the same spot on the spiral each time, and it feels a little different; a little lighter when we meet up with certain patterns that continue to surface, showing us a different perspective each time. This is how Ascension works; it’s almost like taking two steps forward and one step back, only we never truly take that one step back; it just seems so because our intellect still resides in the finite world of 3D; that world of “it’s either this or that.” In the New, it never is either/or; it is a continual movement forward and upward in an ascending spiral. Can you shift your perception to that, or are you attached to the old, limited way of looking at life? The spiral is of the Divine Feminine; the energy of Ascension. There is no moving backward only upward, no matter what the outer life may look like. It calls for us to detach from the outer life more and place Power on the inner knowing; that of Heart-knowing.

chaines

It’s not like we haven’t been warned about this.  Plato’s Cave tells our story.  Bill Hicks spoke about it.  George Carlin joked about it.  David Icke warns us about it still.  About five years ago, Dream Hopper had the following dream which is a foreshadowing of now.

He lived in a place where everything was available to him.  Life was pretty straightforward.  There wasn’t much to do, but it wasn’t necessarily painful or difficult either. Yet, everyone was shackled.  Now these chains were long.  He could move around freely and do pretty much anything he could think of.  People chose where their chain was worn, the ankle, the wrist, the waist, the neck.  These chains were not locked.  But they were worn by everyone.

I’ve had my friend Tania Marie‘s painting and title on the brain: “Uniquely You, Divinely One.”

Picture  “Uniquely You, Divinely One,” by Tania Marie

She painted this years ago, but I always remember it when I see snow. I love how each snowflake is gorgeously unique, and yet they all work together to create “the snow.” Each serves its purpose in a beautiful form, but the power comes through community. I’ve increasingly found myself pondering Collectivism, or rather, two seemingly similar yet radically different manifestations of Collectivism.
