October 29, 2012, the barrier island just over the bridge from Tom’s River, NJ was all but destroyed by storm surge. The force from hurricane Sandy filled living rooms with the Atlantic Ocean, forced new channels that sliced the island into pieces, and erased the landscape.

On another island to the north, Manhattan, water spilled over barriers into the nation’s biggest city, cascading down into the subway, the commuter tunnels, and the construction site at the World Trade Center. Images of cars floating down New York City streets were projected around the world.

The Watchers - 1/01/13, By Chillymanjaro

We are now in period called Solar Cycle 24 which started in January 8, 2008 and it is the 24th solar cycle since 1755, when recording of solar sunspot activity began. The solar cycle is the periodic change in Sun’s activity (including changes in the levels of solar radiation and ejection of solar material) and appearance visible in changes in the number of sunspots, flares, and other visible manifestations. Solar cycles have a duration of about 11 years. NASA predicts that solar cycle 24 will peak in early or mid 2013 with about 59 sunspots. This would make it the least active cycle in the past one...

December 31, 2012 – EARTHCHANGES – In recent weeks, worldwide earthquake data indicates an increase in the magnitude and a significant increase in the frequency (magnitude 5.5+) of earthquakes. Current graphs clearly show an alarming worldwide trend of increasing earthquake strength and frequency. These results are in agreement with the USGS statistics page, which shows an increase in the frequency of stronger earthquakes (M 5.0+).

December 31, 2012 – COLOMBIA – Mild ash explosions continue to occur sporadically at the volcano, such as recently seen on 29 Dec. For the month of December, this is the 6th time ash emissions were observed (although more could have occurred and gone unnoticed during times of bad weather). In comparison, there have been 2 emissions observed in November, 12 in October, and 5 in September. The volcano’s last major eruption occurred in 2010. –Volcano Discovery

Note to Readers: This message came after a long hiatus. It took me getting back to my center and releasing all expectations and all fear. It also took me getting out of my own way, listening within and feeling the grins of my guides. They can be quite humorous and always are loving. Happy New Year, everyone!

The Council of Nine – Into a New Year and a New World – 31 December 2012, by Tazjima.

We are the Council of Nine.

Greetings! As the date December 21, 2012, has slipped into your “past”, your world is now slipping quietly into a new phase, a new age. The age of domination through fear is over; the foundations of the old rigid three-dimensional matrix have been removed. The powers that were, are no longer the masters of the earth – you are, the collective you who is humanity, star-seeds of the galaxy.

We rejoice to find you now willing to let go of your old ways of thinking, of being and of doing. Open to the new, the yet undiscovered parts of yourself. Open to the possibility that you are all ascending into the fifth dimension, along with your Mother Gaia, the conscious living breathing being upon which you all live.
