prepare for landing

Prepare for Landing
Because life wasn't challenging enough for you this month, I would like to offer you an additional spiritual test. Ready?Step 1) Take a really deep breath.Step 2) Now hold it.Step 3) Til June.Seem impossible? Well certainly not in comparison to what the universe threw at us the last 4 weeks.Besides...this is when we will finally be able to exhale. Remember that little conjunction of Chiron and Neptune with Jupiter that I mentioned in the last update? Well, you can thank it for pulling that life-size rug out from under you the last couple weeks with regard to any so-called "plans" for your future.Apparently this celestial mockery... coupled with the Wesak full moon, the new moon in Gemini and above all else, Mercury Retrograde...was just the astral cocktail needed to push us way beyond our limits (as if we had any left) under the guise of assisting us to step solidly on our path and stay there with rugged determination.And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse ; ))If you are finding yourself in that familiar void where nothing is moving, there is no support to be found, nothing to grab onto, or where things seem more than just a little uncertain again, {even things you thought (operative word here) you were absolutely certain about}, don't worry, we are just being spun through another cosmic rinse cycle in one "last" attempt to dislodge the goo. And this cycle spanned the whole human gamut of relationships, health AND finances...that way no one feels left out.It may definitely seem like these heavenly bodies were teaming up against us in some sick conspiracy for domination over our conscious will and well being, but this jam-packed month is actually providing us with an enormous opportunity to really ground ourselves in preparation for what June has to offer.Basically, this meant that any remaining darkness in need of illumination was highlighted this month... and in some cases, thrown in our faces... so that we could clearly see where we needed to make new choices to align with our highest good.The first two weeks of May offered us an opportunity to check in with our higher self & purpose to see if we were FULLY in alignment with our true spiritual path. As a result, many tests surfaced for those who still needed a nudge to choose the correct path and these tests provided us the opportunity to base that choice on what feels right or what we think is right.For all of us, especially those still struggling with the higher choice, (and in case your still being tested, its the one that feels good), the second two weeks of May have been offering us the ability to clear out those fears preventing us from fully grounding this higher path into form. In this regard you may have been presented, yet again, with some colossal fears that have been lingering in your shadow and following you the whole way home.And this is really what May was all about...showing us exactly which fears were preventing us from dragging our second foot over the dimensional threshold.If you are one who has been experiencing creepy old fears, keep in mind that in the reality of polarity, the purpose of fear is to remember that we have the choice, in every moment, to choose love...and that every choice we make to accept the thought that feels good is a step in the direction of the source of our power.These remaining days of May may actually be your chance to JUST SAY NO to fear for the final time! June is opening with a hard core "jumping in" energy right off the bat, so as Mercury turns direct on May 30th and we begin to move forward again, be sure to leave your illusions at the door.Stepping out of Spirituality and into RealityIf May served to clear the runway for our arrival, then June will certainly be the time to buckle up and prepare to land.This is the time we have all been waiting for, when we finally get to touch down and place both of our feet firmly on new ground. And this will also be a clearly defining moment for those who have done the work as well as those "spiritual seekers" with no connection or interest in the material world. Depending on your karmic inventory, June will provide you with either a permanent landing or a transitional layover.Because we are grounding so rapidly into the earth now, those who have yet to merge the spiritual (female) and material (male) planes will find that they have more clearing to do in order to fully access the many gifts of the higher dimensions. Not good or bad, better or worse, just universal timing according to each individual and divine blueprint.Those who have already taken full responsibility for healing themselves, their relationships and their lives, and have cleaned out all karmic clutter, integrated new and higher ways of being and have FULLY accepted that the true spiritual human experience is one of limitless abundance on every level...including financial... will be provided with a new stage, new actors & new props...but this time, without a script.Yup...that's the end of hand-holding.We are becoming fully empowered beings of light here to cocreate with those of like-mind and in divine union with Source. As a result, we will have to rewrite our own scripts to better suit our new awareness and desires as we come together in communities of vibrational alignment to support one another in our interests & passions.The new moon this past weekend served to completely sever our ties to old contracts as either spiritual enablers or antagonists in our relationships with others. You may have experienced this as a feeling of being set free, or not wanting to carry the weight or energetic burdens of others any longer, do more than your share, or you may have come to this awareness through a sudden and sobering look at your own ridiculous behavior in relationships... wondering who you were and why you acted the way you did for so long. These are all indications of bumping up to our destination vibration and as a result, feeling free to let go and move on in our personal journey.This severing may have also kicked up some feelings of resentment as we were suddenly aware of how much of ourselves we gave away by "carrying the load" for others for so long. This vibrational break-thru can be quite jolting if you are not conscious of the energy behind it, but this eye-opening experience served to dissolve any past encumbrances that would weigh down our soul-centered relationships in the future, while allowing for the necessary soul reunions to reconnect on a higher level.Now that these old roles have officially expired and we are completely released from the responsibility of having to hold the space for others, we will be capable to use our energy solely for the purposes of creating our new lives and manifesting our true desires.And this will also mean developing a brand new relationship with matter in the material world. (More on that to come)The energy of JuneThe incoming energy of June carries the vibration of action & solutions. This new vibe is already peeking through the clouds in small ways, but will be felt more fully when Mercury turns direct on May 30th. With it will come many resolutions for all those uncertainties kicked up during retrograde, as well as those little manifestations that went missing for weeks, in addition to new openings and opportunities for great expansion.All in all, I am hearing that there will be a clear dimensional divide that becomes very evident by the solstice and for those boarding the train to their new lives, June will feel very different than May. There is also a relatively short window of recalibration that will commence prior to the solstice but I am told that this bump up will be more or less a completion of the grounding process already in action.While we are still teetering on the border of these dimensional realities, preparing to shove off into the new and true, and with the expiration of our old contracts, the remaining days of May are providing us with the re-patterning necessary to shift our perceptual field entirely to the new energy grids so that we can click securely into place which will ultimately enable us to stand firmly in the new earth.And as always, the physical experience of grounding is not a comfortable one. The pain of inhabiting our full biology is one we have been enduring for many years, but this month the physical discomfort of such rapid detoxification has reached record-breaking highs for some.This intensity is primarily because many are at the final stages of grounding, and so close to spiritual mastery, that every inch of our body is being scoured and purified in preparation for the flow of goodness wanting to be birthed into the physical world through each clear conduit of divine inspiration.And that means YOU.So, essentially we are each becoming a nexus point on earth where spirit meets matter, the living examples of vibrational mastery, and that which is now possible for all others to achieve.And THAT...according to our ascended elders... makes each of us a really BIG deal.Waiting to exhale....Lauren

Homeless, But With a Clean Slate

Homeless, But With a Clean Slate
May 24, 2009
Welcome!
(A brief note: It has always been important to me to personally acknowledge through a "thank you," each and every one of you who thoughtfully sends a donation. When Heaven's Gate was announced, for the first time ever, I was unable to personally thank everyone who donated. I would like to thank each and every one of you now, as your loving support continues to support the high cost of keeping this web site up and running...and supports me as well! And I loved your letters! So thank you so much...you are so greatly appreciated, and know as well that your loving support helps each and every one who visits this site. Now, on with the newest WINGS post!)
While almost fully removed from our old realities in so many ways, feeling homeless is perhaps now our only option, even if we may not know why. Perhaps wandering around with no clear sense of “home” quite yet, we might not know where we belong, or even what we will be doing next…even though at some level we know very well that something very new is on the very near horizon.
Even though we have let go of so much in recent months, weeks, and days, we are still waiting for the final pieces to fall into place before our new reality can manifest in its entirety. Many new energies in the form of individuals and the like, have recently moved into our old spaces, taking over our old roles, as we leave our imprints behind, allowing something or someone very new to take their place. Thus, every new energy arriving to take our place, for every one of us who is relocating to another reality and experience, must be in place before we can experience our intended freedom and release from the old world. Each and every piece must be in place and ready.
It is these final steps that must be completed before we experience the dramatic anchoring in of our new energies to our very new world and reality on June 21st. And know as well, that there is always a window of energy around any specific date…the solstice is simply the signal that it is finally time, as it will serve to use its natural energy as a source of support and ignition for this magnificent event.
The solstice of June 2008 served to knock us out of our old grooves and old roles, and many felt this as a severe trauma, with energies that were very challenging and difficult to handle. But this time, the energies of the impending solstice of June 2009 will serve to create just the opposite. We will instead, be grabbed and pulled downward, as we officially become the rightful stewards of our beautiful planet Earth. It will be all about grounding.
If you are one who is complete with your letting go process, you may feel like you are “waiting” in a state of limbo, just hanging out who knows where with no connection to much of anything. And yet others are still in the process of allowing these final pieces to fall into place, before any decisions can be made in regard to possible future plans. In this way, there is a sense within many that we are very “done,” that something very new and exciting is about to manifest, that a very new life is about to unfold, and that perhaps we are lost right now, with no home to fall into for a sense of comfort, familiarity, or good night’s rest.
This time is like no other, as it is a gift that we will rarely have an opportunity to experience in our lifetimes. We will look back on it in times to come, with feelings of magic and wonder, as we will come to know that we were smack in the middle of a dramatic birthing process, now embodying a very clean slate, as much of everything has been wiped clean for a very fresh start. Nothing will ever be the same again.
In this way, it can be a good time to search our heart of hearts, looking for what it is that we really and truly desire. Getting down to the nitty gritty, going deep, and really taking a hard look at what we now want is vitally important now, as we will most assuredly receive it in times to come, as we are starting fresh and new, in a very new reality, with a very new purpose.
Are you still doing what you think you “should” be doing? Do you finally realize that you can soon do whatever you want? If you had several million dollars, and all your needs were always met, what would you create and what would your life look like? Who would be in it? What would you be doing? Finding yourself fully removed from the old world and its limitations, what would your newfound freedom feel like and how would it manifest?
While allowing for these final pieces to fall into place, it is near impossible to make any kind of decision. During the past few weeks, in many ways, we have been experiencing what I have referred to for many years as the “stop sign” energy. This energy always arrives when we are in a great transition. It serves to prohibit us from moving forward, and has a frustrating by-product of not allowing much of anything to manifest, even in regard to the simplest of projects or creations. So even though there are very dramatic manifestations or pieces coming together for us at very deep and high levels, we are still experiencing the stop sign energy, for very good reason.
If we attempt to create something before all the pieces are in place, and before everything has shown up for us, we would most likely have to undo much. In this way, we are being protected, as always. So it is always best, if possible, to simply trust that everything is in divine and perfect order.
Even though we may find ourselves wandering here and wandering there, with no particular home quite yet, our perfect homes, store-fronts, partners, and places on the earth will arrive in due time, and believe me, they will be worth the wait!
With much love and gratitude,
Karen

gateway

Thurisa is called the Gateway Rune. It’s glyph is used in drawing and
sketching gateways. Gateways represent moving from one space into another. Gateways and their symbols abound in modern culture. Whether it is the gate at the secure neighborhood, or the gate for the remote ranch, or the “gate” of the doorjamb which is the entrance to every home, the gateway is a place of transference from one space to another.
you have stepped through the gateway you will never be the same again. Yet, like the Phoenix who rises from its own ashes within the fire, you have matured, developed and grown through the transmutive properties of fire.
Thurisa is aligned with the gas giant Jupiter.
Tarot Link: Only the Emperor could hold the regality of the knowledge of proper time and place. The Emperor is truly in command of all that he surveys. He waits, watching the members of his Court, allowing them to show their true colors to him.
Color: Red, the color of fire and change.
Polarity: Gateway is masculine. Thurisa invites you to step forth, but only after proper reflection.
Healing Property: One of the properties of the gateway is the healing essence it brings to the human emotions.
Modern Letter Counterpart: Thurisa is associated with the phonetic combination of TH or P.Special Runic Associations: Thurisa is the Twelfth in the Cycle of Initiation. Speaking of the non-action to assimilate lessons learned, it hints at the promise of the future beyond the gateway. Thurisa is one of the runes in the Emotional Healing Runic Grouping and the Protection Runic Grouping.
past that she is symbolically and physically leaving behind. However, her eyes rest on the one soon to combine with her in perfect partnership, creating a bright future for them both. This is Gateway’s power -- The power of passage from one form of being to another. This rune features highly for those runemal that look at the progressions oflife’s progress. Many believe that our life is cyclical and we repeat scenarios which are similar although we may interpret them differently. This theory can be expressed with the oft repeated phrase “if we do not learn the lessons of history we are doomed to repeat them.” Whether interpreted for mankind as a whole or the individual self, Thurisa calls you to wait at the precipice before stepping off into the future. Take the time to review where you have been as it will allow you to appreciate your accomplishments and help solidify your path ahead.

into the deep

The "Miracle" Energy of the New World
May 14, 2009
Welcome!
Things are still moving into place, as we ready for our very permanent positions which will be completed during the solstice of June.
These new changes and our new positionings run very deep. If you are one who is sensitive, you may be feeling deep movement within like a bulldozer or glacier moving inside, placing everything right where it needs to be. This “invisible hand” is from the divine indeed, as it knows so very well exactly what it is doing, even if at times things do not make much sense, or may even take us very much by surprise.
Miracles and more miracles are the earmark of this exciting energy, as our divine and perfect positions on the earth, divine and perfect partners, divine and perfect contributions, and divine and perfect areas of residency, to name a few, are now being lined up for us, if we only allow and trust.
What is occurring now, is that we are finally, but finally being put into place as the divine and rightful stewards of the planet. We are being moved into position via a total and complete anchoring into the earth, so in this way, we will finally feel as though we are home indeed. Thus, “home” will no longer be out there and up there, but very here. And so, feeling a deep bulldozer energy is only indicative of this very deep grounding.
In this way, we will experience feelings that we have never felt before. A calm, a confidence, a sense of security, feelings of great protection, and even of a magnificent power, but only of the divine. So then, these new feelings will be quite different from what many are experiencing now!
I have never experienced so many strange and unpredictable behaviors from others as I have of late. At some levels, whether consciously or not, many are feeling the insecurity of hanging out in mid-air with nothing to hold onto, until we are finally done with this massive re-aligning. And when we are not yet plugged into or connected fully to that new shore, feelings of vulnerability can be ever present as we are not really anywhere quite yet…but certainly making some amazing and miraculous progress! Not taking things personally, and knowing that many of these strange occurrences and behaviors will pass, can greatly help to keep this in perspective, along with letting go of any victim thinking!
We are beginning to see now, and will continue to see, some amazing things occurring. Miracles we may have never expected will grace our spaces and tears of joy and dis-belief will be a norm for awhile, and it is about time. Those who have been stretched to the limit, exhausted from the separation and loneliness, will soon have a very different experience as we begin the new unity.
I just arrived in the Albuquerque area last night, for another of my regular visits with my daughter and grandchildren. As they all unloaded my car for me, I remarked that “you have no idea how nice it is to have someone unloading my car for me!” A short time later, I was preparing the babies for bed, when my daughter remarked, “you have no idea how nice it is to have someone putting on their pajamas for me!” And this is the way things are unfolding for all of us.
With just the right energy or person suddenly arriving for us, these very new connections of unity and support are barreling in, and none too soon. Like perfect pieces of a massive puzzle of divine and higher energy in a new dimension, we are now connecting to just who and what we need…and some of these new connections are connections that were originally intended but may have been disrupted or challenged while we were residing in a lower dimension where darkness created a very different scenario.
While we are now connecting more and more to our perfect and divine scenarios, we are also leaving behind connections that were not meant to be. We are losing right and left, individuals, situations, and much else, that does not fit into this amazing and higher vibrating reality that is on the very new horizon.
Things we have had to endure, put up with, or the like, will no longer be. Our time is now. Justice will be served on all accounts. We will come out “the winner” in every situation, and never again be taken advantage of, abused, or the like. We actually never were anyway, but only transmuting the lower vibrating energies, and thus, we had to be where they were. Everything, but everything, will come out in our favor.
Sudden and unexpected changes will occur for many, as we will soon be completely residing in a higher dimension, and thus, have a very new beginning that will feel so much like the Heaven on Earth we have always envisioned. In this way, we may suddenly leave everything behind…our plans, our homes, and others who will not be a part of our very new reality. But we will as always, still be here in our physical bodies for a very long time as we are dying while we are alive.
Before we can access this new Heaven on Earth, much of everything is removed from our spaces. So then, we almost literally arrive with nothing on our backs. We take very little with us before we begin anew. We are starting over in most every way possible. What remains is what is left…what will still fit us in a higher vibrating reality…along with the new.
When we cross over to the other side via the physical death process in the 3D reality, these feelings of vulnerability and confusion are much the same. Only again, this time we are dying while we are alive. What can make this process more bearable is letting go and trusting. And we can also know that we will be welcomed by each other, as so many of us will arrive at once.
When we do not yet know where we are going, we can become frightened. "What is on that other side, anyway?" "I have never had this experience before!" But know things will be much better. Surrendering, letting go, trusting that our souls and Source know exactly what they are doing, and having faith can very much ease any feelings of vulnerability, fear, insecurity, and confusion.
We are almost there. We are getting closer and closer. And yes, very soon, things will be very different indeed.
With much love and gratitude,
Karen

feeling flattened

Physically Flattened Out

This is a crucial time to feel your inner discernment with your physical body and to decide what is best for you, from a place of empowerment and not fear. We want to help you find that discernment within to understand that sometimes your God self is utilizing a “disease” state to shift your body beyond old energetic patterns. Your God self will also choose to isolate you from others if you need to be alone to undergo this deep level of transmutation work.

The 5D symptoms have been intense and more so for those of us that have required an extremely fast shift in the cellular/molecular structure in order to handle the new energetic platform your God self has chosen for you. It can actually feel like you have been “mowed down” or flattened out. This is an extremely important time that you realize when your spirit has actually taken over many of the bodily functions. What you “think” is disease or trauma is not actually what is going on for you in your spiritual body development. And for some of us depending how quick we had to get up to speed, this looked really severe and extreme at the physical/3D level. This extreme physical shift looked like a severe “dysfunction” and many of us may have appeared to be a complete mystery to the medical system. Those of us that choose (or have chosen) that fast transmutation path appear to be anomalies and medical miracles all at the same time. Our current 3D medical system is not equipped to comprehend or handle many of these strange “symptomologies”. The medical system in these ascension cases are unable to answer the question - What is going on with the body? These abrupt physical symptoms are appearing now and will continue to accelerate in the human population as the ascension energies continue. Be absolutely clear - Do not panic, do not go into fear. Communicate with your guidance and your bodies and use this time allotted to rest and recover. Know that this is a time of rebirth and sometimes in order for us to rebirth ourselves it may feel like a “death”.

Common “Symptomologies”

Since the bloodline is clearing and the umbilicus is moving upwards, the symptoms prevalent are: intestinal and stomach distresses, gallbladder issues, herniated tissues in and around the stomach and lower abdomen, sometimes bloodletting or bleeding tissues. Common are nausea and digestive upsets and intestinal complaints. The spleen is also coming online and activated, so spleen flutters or energies on the left ribcage area also may be experienced. The Throat area as well as the back of the neck have been active, swollen or a bit painful. Kundalini flu and viral symptoms are also a way that your physical body transmutes and burns out old DNA patterns. Microorganisms such as virus and bacteria also play their role with shifting the cellular consciousness and at times honoring this as a process within your body is extremely helpful.
