Today, Monday May 12, another earthquake has hit Asia — 7.8 in central China this time, right in the wake of the Myanmar cyclone disaster, geographically south/southwest of China. 

Interpreters of the ancient, articulate and astonishing Mayan calendar tell us that 2008 is the Big Year for Big (and not necessarily pleasant) Changes — geophysical and societal.  I personally sense the truth of this.  We will see (some of us at a far closer vantage point than we’d like) escalating geophysical activities as the earth stretches and moans and seeks to create greater comfort for herself in the transmuting local cosmology.  I happen to live near what has been called the greatest fault line on this (N. American) continent — the New Madrid fault.  This fault activated during April, the first time in decades.  A hundred years back, its quaking demolished towns and “rang bells in Boston churchtowers.”  It is this fault line that creates the Mississippi River, and its subtle movements are said to be the real cause of that bridge collapsing in Minneapolis last year. 

I watched a video over the weekend of prophecies (ET-sourced) of how these changes are expected to play out here in the US.  According to this info (remember–discernment), New Madrid hits hardest, first — before the west coast and northeast coast faults do their inevitable Big Things.  This video showed a map of the continent being diagonally ’twisted’ from the southwest to the northeast, as the plates beneath us grind into their new positions during all the electromagnetic commotion in play currently in our planet and solar system.  The New Madrid fault has always been prophesied to cause this continent to break into two distinct land masses, with the Great Lakes flooding a southbound path 200 miles wide and pouring into the Gulf of Mexico.  I used to have dreams in my youth of my neighborhood being under water… I’ve always wondered if they were premonitions.  (Pictured: future map as envisioned by Gordon Michael Scallion.)

Why am I talking about this?  Something about the news of China, right after seeing this video over the weekend, plus the recent quake in my “own backyard,” I suppose, has me pondering.  I’ve been wanting to leave this area for years, but haven’t received the Big Signal as to WHERE is next, or HOW – a tough spot to be in.   I know many are in similar positions, feeling the strong pulsation to relocate, as we realize that the foundation of our lives is shifting, or HAS shifted, and yet we are not yet seeing the Way.  I hear about people whose lives are simply dissolving right out from under them: jobs dissappearing, marriages dissolving, family and/or pets dying, long-time friends suddenly leaving the area as their “sirens” go off and they are guided elsewhere.  It is a time of deep change for many.  Change tends to bring up fear — often intense fear.  And prolonged fear easily spawns depression, illness, high anxiety, and other forms of pain.  I have certainly experienced all of this, and am not immune to it now.  We live in intense times.  We live in a transmuting reality construct; what we are facing now we have not been prepared for by our education.   People we turn to for guidance are often people we’ve never met; they might not even be PEOPLE, for that matter!  So much of what has made sense to me in recent years has come from beings in higher planes, that I mulch over to determine whether I “buy in” or not to their information. 

The best advice anyone can offer or heed right now — so I offer it to you, dear visitor – is to make a serious, consistent practice of meditation.  Request and intend illumined guidance for your personal situation, and state your situation.  Sit in silence and receptivity.  I use the word meditate to mean, to simply listen - as opposed to mentally yakking to yourself, or reciting affirmations, or (worst case) repeating over and over all that’s horrendous in your life, and begging to be saved.  When not meditating, there are mental practices to work with to narrow the gap between where you’re at and where you want to be.  Use the power of your languaging to shift gradually from frantic freaked out self talk toward language that represents where you are heading.  So, screaming “help me, help me, my life is totally screwed!!” can be consciously guided to less hysterical framing, ie, “I know there is a way through this, and even though I may not see it yet, I trust I will in right timing,” etc.  We are now needing to function in KAIROS time — aka “God’s timing,” which is moment to moment, as opposed to chronos, or planned-in-advance chronological time.  Adapting to FLOWING in the NOW has never been more crucial.

An important point I’m trying to make is, this is all an INSIDE JOB.  Finding support is fine and certainly has its place, but NO ONE can do it for us; we are captains of our own ships and must turn to our own inner compasses for guidance that is correct for US.  I’ve made many mistakes in my life in which I was trying to “perform” for others approval (parents, mates, employers, etc)… which tends to result in agonizing guessing games, wavering and irregular progress of any substance, and the tragic abandonment of my SELF.  The “care and nurturance” of our SOVERIEGN SELF is THE skill to develop in these trying times.   Which is not to suggest, become a selfish tyrant with no concern for anyone else’s situation.  I’m suggesting that to be genuine in yourself – in the SOUL of your Self — ultimately aligns your soverign soul with the ONENESS of which we are all an integral part.  But no one can be “integral” to Oneness, the Great Unified Field, if one is NOT in integrity with one’s own sacred heart first.  Drop into the zero point of your sacred source and expand your awareness transdimensionally outward from there; see where it leads you. 

So as the world turns and churns around us, the only TRUE and safe sanctuary is the one within.  Even if everything collapses around us – EVEN IF that includes the very bodies we wear — our souls are our sanctuaries that remain such throughout eternity.  My advice in this moment (to my self as well to anyone reading these words) is to develop a deeply loving, intimate, open, communicative relationship with the inner advisor and divine entity who will never leave you — because it IS you, and it is also God, there is only separation in our mistaken minds.  This is the most important relationship to cultivate; it will only enhance all the rest of life in an ever-widening ripple through our relationships, our communities, our planet, our cosmos.  The soul is eternal; the rest of it is transient; even, perhaps, the firm ground (currently) beneath our feet.  Which reminds me — exercises such as the one offered by the Hathors in the Grid Report posted on this blog can help us stablize in the chaos.  Give it a try – daily, as often as it might occur to you.  Make it a reality.  You are sovereign; you are infinite; you are safe.
