LANTERNWALK APOCALYPSE WATCH: The Sun Shall Be Turned into Darkness, and the Moon into Blood...

TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE: MARCH 20, 2015
Visible in Svalbard (Norway) and the Faroe Islands

 Midpoint of Transit: 09:46:48 UTC/GMT 

Threshold Lantern Dark

On April 15, 2014, there was a total lunar eclipse. It was the first of four consecutive total eclipses in a series, known as a tetrad; a second one took place on October 8, 2014, (the remaining two eclipses will take place on April 4, 2015 and September 28, 2015). It is one of eight tetrads during the 21st century AD. As with most eclipses, the moon appeared red during the April 15 eclipse.  The red color is caused by Rayleigh scattering of sunlight through the Earth's atmosphere, the same effect that causes sunsets to appear red.

Hagee also connects the solar eclipse of March 20, 2015 in the middle of the sequence. The idea of a "blood moon" serving as an omen of the coming of the end times comes from the Book of Joel, where it is written "the sun will turn into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes." This phrase is again mentioned by Saint Peter during Pentecost, as recorded in Acts.

MARCH SOLAR ECLIPSE: TOTAL SYSTEM REBOOT.
(Via Crystal Bichalski on Mar 17, 2015)

If you’ve been looking for a change the universe is about to deliver.

On March 20th, 2015, a powerful Solar Eclipse ignites a major turning point and beginning into our lives.

A new 19 year cycle is in the process of being born and many of us could feel a total system reboot as a result of this intense and energizing energy.

How many times have we dealt with electronic snafus and said to ourselves, “Time to reboot”?  It’s the thing we tend to do when there are no other options available to fix a problem.

Reboots always seem to correct or eliminate the strangest of problems in a quick instant. Wouldn’t it be something if we could do the same in our own lives?

The secret truth is that you can. There are certain times during the year where you can tap into a restarting/rebooting type energy. This March Solar Eclipse is precisely that—a time to restart and begin anew. Similar to rebooting our gadgets, we’re all about to hit the on/off button on ourselves and have a chance to wipe the slate clean.

Whether you realize it or not, a new beginning and fresh start is happening around you. If you’re aware of this energy and open to the possibilities you might be able to see the potential in your own life. This is a great time to set intentions for yourself, make amends and look forward to new beginnings.

Solar Eclipses are extra-powerful New Moons, which create something new in our lives, and this one will be visible in parts of northern Europe. At the exact point of the eclipse, the moon will cross paths with the sun and create a burst of energy release. Many of us will actually be able to feel a resurgence of some sort because of it. The electromagnetic fields of the Earth are directly affected and the power behind it is more than super-charged.

This Solar Eclipse in particular is even more impactful because it’s a supermoon and eclipse rolled into one. That means we can expect to feel even more ramped up and ready to go. On top of that, it’s occurring in the 29th degree of Pisces which is the last degree of the zodiacal wheel. That means we’re in the process of saying goodbye to something while embarking upon totally new territory.

Something new is waiting and it’s up to us to seize the opportunity.

Something else to be aware of is this Solar Eclipse holds a ton of spiritual splash in the background.  The sun, moon, Mercury, Chiron and Neptune are all nestled in the sign of Pisces at the peak of it.

Pisces is a sign that is in tune with the higher forces in play in the universe. Due to this influence our perception will be higher than normal and if we listen closely new insights will come to light.

Adding even more impact to this Solar Eclipse is the fact that the sun will enter the pioneering sign of Aries about 13 hours after the peak of it.

This transition delivers the Spring Equinox in the northern hemisphere and the Fall Equinox in the southern hemisphere. A change of seasons is upon us and this is another great indicator that we’re shifting gears into new territory.

There’s always an element of mystery as well as a possible fear component when we embark on something new. No matter if you decide to jump in feet first or poke in one toe at a time, the universal tools are there to help you if you’re aware of them. This Solar Eclipse delivers the system reboot we all need to help us get to wherever we’re going next.

For additional personal insight, here are the themes associated with the Solar Eclipse energy for each Zodiac sign. Something important to keep in mind is despite how this affects you personally; a Solar Eclipse of this capacity will heighten awareness and insight to great levels. Aha moments are really prominent and if you listen hard enough you can hear the universe talking…it’s just not always saying exactly what you want to hear.

Aries:  You’re system reboot helps to push you out into the open and allows you to be stronger than ever. You’ve gone through a lot a challenges lately and this shift brings you into beneficial territory. Use this energy to really start putting yourself out there and making a good impression on others.  They will notice! Your self-expression is front and center and this is not the time to be catering to others. There are things out there for you to grab a hold of now and this is prime time to get started doing it.

Taurus: Setting new long term goals is the emphasis of this system reboot for you. It’s time to start making a dream a reality. This is also a great time to put yourself out there and join a new group of some sort. New and important friendships could also begin at this time. At the same time, you may feel pulled in between the two arenas—wanting to be alone vs. being with others. There is also opportunity to work through long standing issues.

Gemini: New seeds are in the process of being planted in your public sector which could alter the way that people see you—in a good way. You’ve been transforming at a deep level and this is the point where the new you comes into the public eye. Things that you begin now have the potential to blossom. It’s also a great time to start new friendships or join a new group of some sort. Additionally, a new cycle could begin development with a prominent parent.

Cancer: Your system reboot involves matters revolving around learning and teaching, spirituality and religion, foreign matters or international happenings, legal matters, in-laws and long-distance travel.  There’s also connection to self-promotion and public relations. This is a good time to start putting yourself out there in order to be seen and heard. Any one of these themes could start to develop into an entirely new cycle for you.

Leo: Joint resources, help coming from another person (other people’s money), investments and inheritances are all possible themes of your system reboot. This Solar Eclipse could mark a time where changes in finances come to the forefront of your awareness. New sexual activity or something of a very intimate nature could also begin. Matters involving publishing, higher education, your beliefs, foreigners, in-laws and trips are also possible themes in effect.

Virgo: Matters pertaining to close and personal relationships are the focal point of your system reboot. Anybody you are involved in a close relationship with has the potential to begin something new. Relationships are your key here. Whatever important relationship is in your view at this time will continue to be a major focal point for the year ahead. You may also notice something new stemming from help coming from another person (other people’s money) or a matter of intimacy.

Libra: Changes in your working environment, co-workers, health, pets, habits or routines may be part of your system reboot. If you’ve been thinking about doing something to better yourself, this is an optimal time to do it. There could also be a new work opportunity. The need to get more organized in general could really come over you in a powerful way. Themes in your life regarding close relationships could also be emphasized.

Scorpio: Something new with one of your children, or a child could be beginning. If you are looking to get pregnant, this combination could help you. You could also take on a new venture of fun—for yourself. You could also decide to jump into something of a speculative nature. Your working environment, co-workers, health, pets, habits or routines are also emphasized so something new could begin to take root in one of these areas as well.

Sagittarius: Your system reboot could bring you more into the public eye. Something pertaining to your home or family could also be a focal point. If you have been thinking of moving, this could mark the beginning of a new cycle in a different home or location. Home renovations could be in the works. Additionally, something new with one of your children, or a child could be beginning.

Capricorn: Connection to your communications realm are very strong with your system reboot. New learning endeavors could begin, you could purchase a new car, take an important short trip, or something new with your neighbors or a sibling could begin. Communication is key and it’s possible that you find yourself involved in making more presentations or putting yourself out there through various media outlets more. Something pertaining to your home or family could also be a focal point.

Aquarius: The area of close and personal possessions, including money, is emphasized for you with this system reboot. A new beginning could be happening in something involving a purchase or the way you earn money could begin to change. There is also a connection to your communications realm: new learning endeavors, a short trip, or something new with your neighbors or a sibling could begin at this time. The way you communicate could begin to change and you could find yourself dealing with various media or technology outlets more than usual.

Pisces: Money and personal possessions in addition to your self-identification and personal identity are in play with this system reboot. A new beginning could be happening for you in something involving a purchase, your finances, earning potential or possessions. Maybe you begin earning money in a new way. You’ve likely been putting yourself out there and you should continue to do so.  You are indeed making a good impression on others. Your self-expression is front and center and you should live it up as a result.

A JOURNEY FROM NANTUCKET TO NEW BEDFORD...

On October 4, 1971 I set foot upon the island of Nantucket for the first time and spent the better part of the next sixteen years living and working there as a sign-maker, commerical artist, interior-exterior house painter, and technical director/set designer for the Nantucket Theatre Workshop until meeting my wife Susan from New Bedford and moving off-island after the birth of our daughter, Mary. We settled in Gloucester on Cape Ann where our son, David (Damian) was born and raised our two children in "Fishtown" at the base of Pole's Hill. In 2013 we sold our home in Gloucester and moved to 286 Carroll Street in the Whaling City of New Bedford where we presently reside.

Nantucket and New Bedford are symbiotically connected through their common link with the whale oil industry, now long gone, and the story of William Rotch, Jr. and his emigration from the "far-away island" of Nantucket where his father's counting house was located (now the Pacific Club building at the foot of Main Street) to Bedford Village in the town of Dartmouth which was incorporated as the town of New Bedford in 1787 - becoming a city in 1847. The two whaling ports are also bonded through the great literary work by Herman Melville, Moby Dick or The Whale, written in New Bedford from his experience on the whaleship Acushnet and fictionalized in the tale of Captain Ahab's obsession with pursuit of an elusive white whale in the Pacific. Ahab with Ishmael among others, set sail from the port of Nantucket... Presently, I am a volunteer building and painting scenery at Your Theatre, Inc. in New Bedford and tonight is the opening performance of Other Desert Cities and also my 65th birthday!

The Mariners’ Home

by Sara Zatir - June 21, 2011

New Bedford’s downtown area is filled with beautiful cobblestone streets, quaint shops and restaurants, and historic landmarks. Having an intrinsic tie with the ocean, New Bedford’s rich history never seems to end! Located in downtown is the historic Johnny Cake Hill, and placed on the Hill next to the Seamen’s Bethel is the Mariner’s Home. The Mariners’ Home has a deep and interesting tie to New Bedford and one of the city’s most prominent families-the Rotch family.

Built in 1787, the Mariners’ Home was first a home for William Rotch Jr., located on what is now the corner of Water and William Streets. However, the history of the Home could be traced back to 1765, which is when the Rotch family moved from the island of Nantucket to New Bedford.

Joseph Rotch, the grandfather of William Rotch Jr., was an accomplished sailor and captain, and laborer in the shore side of the whaling industry. After living and working on Nantucket for years, at the age of 61, Joseph Rotch decided to move himself and two of his adult sons to New Bedford. His wife, Love Rotch, and eldest son, William Rotch, continued to live on Nantucket. The whaling industry in Nantucket had slowly started to decline, but the whaling in New Bedford continued to prosper. Joseph Rotch bought a 10-acre plot of land and built his first home upon it. Interestingly, the auditorium of the Whaling Museum now sits upon the location of his first home on the southwest corner of William and Water Street.

Mariners' Home New Bedford, MAFrom 1765 through 1775 whaling continued to grow due to the influence and finances of the Rotches. However, at this time the Revolutionary War broke out and in 1778 British troops landed in Clark’s Cove and made their way to downtown New Bedford. The troops destroyed whaling facilities, major homes built by prominent people of New Bedford, and businesses. Joseph Rotch’s house was destroyed by torching. Thankfully, Joseph Rotch had moved back to Nantucket and spent most of his time there since the outbreak of the war in 1775. However, due to their prominence, the Rotches had to be careful of where to place their allegiance during the war, and instead tried to remain neutral. During this time Joseph Rotch’s whaling and merchant business came to a standstill.

After the war, the Rotches built up their whaling and mercantile industry both on Nantucket and New Bedford. Joesph Rotch did not return to New Bedford, and died at the age of 81 on the island of Nantucket.

The next era of Rotches to return to New Bedford were William Rotch Jr., the grandson of Joseph Rotch and the son of William Rotch, and his wife, Elizabeth, and their daughter, Sarah. Having received the 10-acre plot that his grandfather owned, William Rotch Jr. built his home on the same southwest corner of William and Water Streets in 1787. In 1828 William Rotch Jr’s first wife died, and a little over a year later he remarried a woman by the name of Lydia Fox. By this time in the 1830’s it was no longer fashionable to live near the waterfront, and Lydia preferred to live higher up on a hill where wealthier people lived. The Rotches lived in their first home until 1834, and then moved to County Street into what is now the Rotch-Jones-Duff House and Garden Museum. Their first home was donated in 1850 by Sarah Rotch-Arnold to the New Bedford Port Society and became the Mariner’s Home.

Little is known about what the house was used for between 1834 and 1850. Nevertheless, the house was left to William Rotch Jr.’s daughter, Sarah Rotch Arnold, after his death in 1850. It was relocated to its present site upon Johnny Cake Hill and, supposedly, it was moved by using oxen to drag it about a city block. Also, $3,000 was raised by the Ladies Branch of the Port Society to furnish the home and make it comfortable for sailors.

The Home was opened in 1851 and it was originally called the Acushnet House. The house was built for seamen who wanted a clean and wholesome place to board and take shelter in for some time. Within the House there were kitchen and dining facilities, bedrooms, a front room, a parlor room, a bedroom for Mary Dodge who was the live-in superintendent when the Home first opened, a library, a recreational room for the mariners, and a hospital room.

During the early years, the Home was active and full with men shipping out to sea, men coming back from voyages, and men infected with tuberculosis.  Tuberculosis was a rampant problem among seamen and the close quarters of the ships made it impossible to become infected. The private enterprise hospital only lasted a few years, and subsequently the women of the Ladies Branch of the Port Society catered to the whalers sick with tuberculosis.

As the years went on the Mariners’ Home became less active allowing for more people to have rooms. In 1889 the Port Society started providing living quarters in the Mariners’ Home to the chaplains of the Seamen’s Bethel. From that time on most chaplains and their wives lived in the Home.

Over the years the Mariners’ Home has changed. At one point it was used as a retirement place for old mariners, a place of refuge for homeless, and up until two years ago rooms could still be rented for use. The Mariners’ Home closed two years ago and tours are not available. However, the Home can still be looked upon and viewed as one of the most historical places of New Bedford.

Restoration Planned For Seamen’s Bethel And Mariner’s Home

By Jim Phillips - December 23, 2013

The New Bedford Port Society and the Waterfront Historic Area League are working on a plan to restore and make accessible both the Seaman’s Bethel and the Mariner’s Home. 

The $2 million project is expected to start in early 2015.

WHALE Executive Director Terri Bernert tells WBSM News, her agency is working on a fund-raising plan….

The highlight of the project would be an outdoor elevator at the rear of the Mariner’s Home, that would lead to an enclosed glass structure that would connect with the Seaman’s Bethel.

The Bethel averages about 16,000 visitors a year.  However, the Mariner’s Home has been closed the last two years.

Under the plan, the first floor of the Mariners Home would be converted into a Fishermen’s Museum. Also, both buildings for the first time would be air conditioned.

CERN’s Move To Restart Large Hadron Collider At Double Power Reignites Doomsday Fears

Could this create an artificial black hole? - JDHWB-R

 
Reports that CERN scientists will restart the powerful Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in March, 2015 for another three-year long run of high-energy collision experiments have reignited longstanding fears that the experiments could destroy the Earth and even the entire universe.

Fears that high energy collision experiments with the LHC, the world’s largest particle accelerator located in the Jura mountains near the Franco-Swiss border, could trigger an Earth-wide or even universe-wide catastrophe have been increased by news that the newly upgraded LHC will generate particle collisions at nearly double the energy level previously achieved.

In a typical doomsday blog post titled, “‘Big Bang’ Begins March 2015 – Will Gates Of Hell Soon Open To The Destruction Of All Creation?,” the conspiracy theory website All News Pipeline raised the alarm of impending doom with the report that two prominent and respected scientists, Stephen Hawking and Neil de Grasse Tyson, “have recently issued independent warnings” that the experiments could lead to doomsday.

When the LHC is switched on once again, it will accelerate fundamental particles to even higher kinetic energies or velocities than in previous experiments. The higher kinetic energies effectively bring scientists closer to the “Big Bang” moment of creation of the universe.

Data collected from the collision events would help scientists to test their theories about the structure of the universe and determine which of their competing theories about the universe fit the experimental observations best.

Scientists are particularly interested in confirming earlier results that indicated discovery of the Higgs boson (“God Particle”) predicted by the Standard Model and believed to explain how matter acquires mass.

But the news that the LHC will restart in March is generating fears in doomsday circles, with many believing that experiments which create conditions similar to those that existed at the time of the Big Bang could wipe out the Earth and even the entire universe.

Among concerns being expressed are that high energy collisions could generate microscopic black holes or other exotic particles called strangelets that could cause catastrophic destruction of our world.

While scientists argue that Einstein’s relativity theory rules out the possibility that black holes could be produced in the LHC, they admit that there are other “speculative” theories which predict that black holes could be generated. Thus, while it is “unlikely,” scientists are unable to rule out the possibility that black holes will be generated at the LHC.

But scientists assure that even if a microscopic black hole is generated at the LHC, it would disintegrate immediately before it has time to begin sucking up matter around it.

Linked to the fear that the LHC could generate a black hole is the fear that because the universe exists in an unstable state, collisions at the LHC could generate perturbations that cause the physical environment to move into a stable state called a “vacuum bubble” that could destroy the entire universe.

The famous physicist Stephen Hawking helped to raise fears among doomsday theorists when he talked about the risk of the “vacuum bubble” last year. He said that discovery of the Higgs boson could cause space and time to collapse catastrophically through a “vacuum decay.”

But while doomsday theorists gave attention to the alarming first part of his statement, they ignored the second part in which he said that current CERN particle accelerators are not powerful enough to generate high energy states that can destroy the universe.

“The Higgs potential has the worrisome feature that it might become megastable at energies above 100bn giga-electron-volts (GeV). This could mean that the universe could undergo catastrophic vacuum decay, with a bubble of the true vacuum expanding at the speed of light. This could happen at any time and we wouldn’t see it coming. A particle accelerator that reaches 100bn GeV would be larger than Earth, and is unlikely to be funded in the present economic climate.”

When concerns were first raised in 1999 that the Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) could generate destructive strangelets, many physicists argued that if that was possible we would have seen a similar disaster in nature because the RHIC collisions are similar to those which occur naturally when cosmic rays travel through the solar system.

Other physicists argued that the strange matter idea is purely hypothetical, and no one has ever detected strangelets in nature. The theory underlying the strangelet or “strange matter” hypothesis predicts that scientists should detect strange matter in neutron stars. But none have been detected. Many physicists also argue that if the strangelet hypothesis was true, all neutron stars should have been converted from nuclear matter into strange matter.

It is important to note that while scientists had assured laymen that the RHIC was safe, the question of the validity of the strange matter hypothesis is still being debated among experts and efforts are ongoing to determine whether stable strange matter can be detected on the surface of neutron stars. But many physicists simply don’t believe in the strangelet hypothesis, and thus, do not believe that strangelets will ever be found on neutron stars.

But scientists admitted at the time that if the strangelet hypothesis was true, then the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) could create strangelets. Consequently, scientists searched for strangelets in the RHIC, but have not been able to detect any.

When similar concerns were expressed about the LHC, scientists said that the LHC was even less likely than the RHIC to generate strangelets. And although scientists have conducted searches for strangelets in the LHC, they found none.

When Walter L. Wagner and Luis Sancho brought a lawsuit on March 21, 2008 in Federal District Court in Honolulu, Hawaii, seeking a temporal restraining order to stop CERN from proceeding with the LHC until a comprehensive assessment of risks has been conducted, one of the concerns they raised was that the LHC could generate a magnetic monopole first theorized by the physicist Paul Dirac. Dirac suggested that particles could exist that hold a single magnetic charge instead of two.

Fears have been expressed that if monopoles exist and are generated by the LHC, the consequences could be catastrophic. But while scientists do not deny that the LHC could generate monopoles, they deny that the presence of monopoles could pose any danger.

The general line of argument that scientists adopt to allay fears being expressed is to point out that high energy collision events occur regularly in the natural environment without catastrophic consequences. They argue that for this reason, we need not fear that artificially generated high energy collisions could cause harm. They point to the ultra-high energy cosmic rays impacting Earth at energies far higher than those occurring in their colliders as evidence that their experiments are safe.

But efforts to calm fears with arguments qualified by terms such as “unlikely” and “improbable” have not been effective among people with a psychological tendency to worry endlessly about impending doom.

For instance, doomsday theorists argue that the effects of high energy collisions being generated in nature could be different from the effects of collisions generated artificially in a collider. The effect of natural spontaneous collision events could dissipate harmlessly in outer space while those in an enclosed artificial environment within the Earth’s atmosphere could prove harmful, some argue.

But ultimately, even those who are not susceptible to “chicken little” worries must admit that because scientific theories and understanding are under constant development and revision, no one, including “experts,” can claim honestly that they are certain how to accurately assess the risks of conducting groundbreaking experiments, such as running powerful particle accelerators on Earth.

Hopefully, future generations will understand better the risk, if any, that scientists are taking now, provided our much abused planet and the billions of human beings who seem to delight in tempting fate are still here.

FORGIVENESS...

FORGIVENESS MEDITATION

Forgiveness of others, forgiveness of yourself

To practice forgiveness meditation, let yourself sit comfortably, allowing your eyes to close and your breath to be natural and easy. Let your body and mind relax. Breathing gently into the area of your heart, let yourself feel all the barriers you have erected and the emotions that you have carried because you have not forgiven - not forgiven yourself, not forgiven others. Let yourself feel the pain of keeping your heart closed. Then, breathing softly, begin asking and extending forgiveness, reciting the following words, letting the images and feelings that come up grow deeper as you repeat them.

FORGIVENESS OF OTHERS: There are many ways that I have hurt and harmed others, have betrayed or abandoned them, cause them suffering, knowingly or unknowingly, out of my pain, fear, anger and confusion. Let yourself remember and visualize the ways you have hurt others. See and feel the pain you have caused out of your own fear and confusion. Feel your own sorrow and regret. Sense that finally you can release this burden and ask for forgiveness. Picture each memory that still burdens your heart. And then to each person in your mind repeat: I ask for your forgiveness, I ask for your forgiveness.

FORGIVENESS FOR YOURSELF: There are many ways that I have hurt and harmed myself. I have betrayed or abandoned myself many times through thought, word, or deed, knowingly or unknowingly. Feel your own precious body and life. Let yourself see the ways you have hurt or harmed yourself. Picture them, remember them. Feel the sorrow you have carried from this and sense that you can release these burdens. Extend forgiveness for each of them, one by one. Repeat to yourself: For the ways I have hurt myself through action or inaction, out of fear, pain and confusion, I now extend a full and heartfelt forgiveness. I forgive myself, I forgive myself.

FORGIVENESS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE HURT OR HARMED YOU: There are many ways that I have been harmed by others, abused or abandoned, knowingly or unknowingly, in thought, word or deed. Let yourself picture and remember these many ways. Feel the sorrow you have carried from this past and sense that you can release this burden of pain by extending forgiveness when your heart is ready. Now say to yourself: I now remember the many ways others have hurt or harmed me, wounded me, out of fear, pain, confusion and anger. I have carried this pain in my heart too long. To the extent that I am ready, I offer them forgiveness. To those who have caused me harm, I offer my forgiveness, I forgive you.

Let yourself gently repeat these three directions for forgiveness until you feel a release in your heart. For some great pains you may not feel a release but only the burden and the anguish or anger you have held. Touch this softly. Be forgiving of yourself for not being ready to let go and move on. Forgiveness cannot be forced; it cannot be artificial. Simply continue the practice and let the words and images work gradually in their own way. In time you can make the forgiveness meditation a regular part of your life, letting go of the past and opening your heart to each new moment with a wise loving kindness.

What Do You Mean The 3rd Dimension Is Going Away?

March 6, 2015  - by Jim Self 

As the Age of Aquarius approaches there is an increasing urgency to this message because we’re all, literally, running out of time to play in the third dimension. 

In simple terms, the habit of thinking and feeling and behaving that we know of as the third dimension is going away. Everyone is shifting into a fourth dimensional consciousness and experience, and then into a fifth dimensional consciousness and experience. 

However, most people on the planet are not prepared for this Shift. But it is happening nonetheless, and for those who are unaware of what’s going on it will not be an easy or comfortable experience. 

Yet this can be a wonderful, enjoyable time as well. With some basic information about what the Shift is, and what “dimensions” are, and with simple tools to help manage our thoughts and feelings, everyone has the ability to evolve their consciousness and move gracefully and joyfully into these higher vibrational realms. 

If you don’t know what dimensions are, you are not alone. Most people playing the game of life as we know it in the third dimension are playing without a “rule book” that would explain what the game really is and how one can play it successfully.

This article provides these basic, missing rules. It explains what the third, fourth, and fifth dimensions are, and why they are the most important consideration of your life right now. 

If you can understand the structure and play of these dimensions, you can begin to move fluidly through the unprecedented changes of this Shift without fear, without effort, without the tension and anxiety that is, for the most part, the daily habit of our lives. 

So, first of all, let me define what dimensions are not. 

Dimensions are not places or locations, and they are not a linear progression – 3, 4, 5, 6 – stacked up like pancakes. And the 3rd dimension, or the 4th dimension, is not the chair you’re sitting in, or the walls that surround you, or even the Earth itself. That is form, which exists predominantly in the 3rd and 4th dimensions, and which will still be very much part of the play in the 4th dimension when the 3rd dimension is no longer an option. 

In general, dimensions are states of consciousness available to anyone who vibrates in resonance with the specific frequencies and opportunities available within each dimension. 

In a way, you could think of each dimension as a different game with a different set of rules as to what is possible and not possible for the beings that choose to play and create there. 

So what is the 3rd Dimension? 

The third dimension (3D) is a box of rigid beliefs, more or less, with a relatively inflexible set of rules and limitations. Most of us have been playing this game for lifetimes, so we tend to think it is the only game available to us. But nothing could be further from the truth. One of the rigid 3D beliefs that structure our lives – our thinking and feeling and actions – is linear time. 

Linear time is an optional belief and structure that let’s us “live” an experience of past and a future… and then we die. Because this belief is the default assumption of mass 3D consciousness, and events seem to validate the belief, most of us think and act as if it’s true. 

But now we are all waking up from the illusion of this ubiquitous belief. And as you become more conscious, you realize that time in 3D is actually a time loop. What you experience in “the past” is pretty much what you put your attention on now, and you project that reality into “the future,” and therefore you experience it over and over again. 

So the structure of time is quite specific (and limiting) in the 3rd dimension, but your experience of time is quite different (and empowering) as you move into higher dimensions. 

Everything in a 3D consciousness is also very conditional. The concept of, for example, ‘unconditional love,’ does not exist in the 3rd dimension. If you experience ‘unconditional love’ or ‘unconditional peace’ you have actually moved into a fourth dimensional (4D) consciousness.

You see, in the earth experience now, we have access to both 3rd and 4th dimensional consciousness, but most of us rarely step out of the well-grooved habits of 3D thinking and feeling. 

The 3rd dimension also offers no possibility of choice. We don’t choose our thoughts, feelings, and actions in every moment (that’s a skill of 4D and 5D), instead we react from unconscious beliefs and training to the people and situations that pop up in our space. 

Duality provides another rigid structure for 3D experience. Up/down. Left/right. Should/shouldn’t. Since the fall of Atlantis 12,500 years ago, we have become very fearful as a way of life, and in that fear we have learned to narrowly define good and bad, right and wrong, etc. Unconscious judgment permeates 3D thinking. 

Moreover, we perceive our 3D experience predominantly with the left hemisphere of the brain, home of the rational mind, and so we use only about 5 to 10 percent of the brain’s capacity to play the 3D game. Most of us suspect the rest of our brain must do something but have no idea what it actually does and how it functions. 

In fact, what the rest of the brain enables us to do is function in the higher 4th and 5th dimensions, and beyond. 

We already have the potential, all the necessary equipment and wiring, right now, to be fully conscious in all these dimensions. But our habits of thinking and feeling, grooved over many lifetimes, dumbs= us down and limit us to 3D experience. Our left-brain, rational mind only knows what it knows, and doesn’t know what it doesn’t know, and it works tirelessly to keep us within a thin range of objective 3D thinking and possibilities. And we, for the most part, have gone along for the ride. But no longer. 

The increasing light energies and frequencies of the Shift are rewiring our brains to allow us access to a much wider range of information and possibility than is available in the 3rd dimension. These light energies are preparing us for 4D and 5D experience, even as they are clearing the rigid 3D “rules” from our consciousness. 

So what is the 4th Dimension? 

The “rules” of 4th dimensional consciousness provide an enhanced sense of ease, possibility, and capability than the structures of the 3rd dimension. 

Time in 4D, for example, is always present time. The focus is only ever this moment, what is happening right now. Our bodies already know only this present time; they can’t know ‘yesterday’ or ‘tomorrow,’ and as conscious beings in our natural alignment in the higher 4th dimension, we function absolutely in this “Now” of present time awareness and attention. When our attention point becomes present time awareness, choice becomes possible again. We can observe any and all events with a sense of detachment, merely as information to consider, and from that still, uncluttered platform we are then, and only then, free to choose our response. In the higher 4th dimension we become response-able. 

A concept and possibility known as paradox also becomes available in the present time of 4D consciousness. Paradox simply means that what was true just a moment ago may not be true right now. And what was false a moment ago may no longer be false. Instead of applying rigid, pre-existing definitions to any experience, we choose our preferred version and vibration in every moment. 

So as we move into 4D consciousness in present time, with the power of choice and response-ability, and the flexibility of paradox, the ability to alter the game to enhance our happiness and wellbeing becomes available. 

Interestingly, 4D consciousness will not be a long-term option after the Shift clears away the rigid structures of 3D consciousness. 

The 4th dimension is serving as an essential, but short-lived, stepping stone or vibrational platform from which we will all move into 5th dimensional consciousness. 5D is the target for Earth and all her inhabitants. The archangels have said the entire consciousness of Earth will be a fifth dimensional consciousness by the year 2015. 

But although the 5th dimension is the target, the experience of the 4th dimension is essential. We cannot enter 5D directly from 4D. All mental and emotional baggage from the 3rd dimension must be left at the door to the 4th dimension, and we can only enter the 5th dimension after we have become masterful of our thoughts and feelings in the 4th dimension. 

Some assembly is required. 

So what is the 5th Dimension? 

The 5th dimension operates, to a great extent, in a completely differently fashion from the 3rd and 4th dimensions. 

Time in 5D is instantaneous time, meaning that everything (all possibilities) occurs in the same place at the same moment. In 5D, you focus your attention and the answer or experience is given to you exactly when and where you focus. 

Ask and you shall receive. 

In 5D, you don’t have to move or go anywhere for your answers or experiences; everything comes to you easily and effortlessly based upon the attention point and vibration you choose to hold in every moment. 

When you are vibrating in 5D consciousness, you don’t create with form as you do in the 3rd and 4th dimensions, you create with light and light patterns and light frequencies. You apply sound and color and geometric shapes. You consciously interact with the Creator and all the Beings of Light. 

In this heightened consciousness, the rational mind plays a very minimal role. It returns to a small, specific focus it was intended to have, namely the wellbeing of the physical body. 

So how do you become masterful in 4D consciousness? 

The Tools of 4D Present Time 

As I mentioned, 4D is the ‘right now’ of ‘present time.’ But present time actually has four different levels. 

The vast majority of people on this planet are not prepared to be the masters of their every thought, feeling, and action in every moment. But there’s no option. It’s a required, baseline skill of higher 4D and 5D consciousness. 

One of the reasons the 3rd dimension was created was to provide a “playground” in which we each can practice and hone the vibration of our thoughts and feelings. To accomplish this, the 3D playground has a time buffer. Instead of ‘instant manifestation’ there is a time lag between the thought we think and the manifestation or experience of that thought. For the most part, we are very sloppy with this buffer. 

Instead of focusing on what we want, and allowing this to unfold over time, we spew anger, frustration, boredom, worry, anxiety, blame, guilt, fear – all kinds of lower, disharmonic thoughts and feelings. We behave as if we can think and feel anything with impunity because we do not see the instantaneous results of our thinking. 

But no longer. As 3D linear time is collapsing into a single point of present time, the time buffer is collapsing too. We have less opportunity to practice being aware of our mental and emotional habits before what we think is what we get. This is a very big deal. 

Fortunately, some simple energy tools can help you manage your thoughts and emotions in every moment so that you can be prepared for the unprecedented opportunity and challenge of living and creating in present time in the higher dimensions.

These basic energy tools are available for free on our website www.masteringalchemy.com but let me explain a few of them here by way of example.

Allow the Shift to clear your unconscious thoughts & feelings 

In simple terms, the Shift is using one wave of light frequencies to clear away who we are not, and another wave to remind us who we are. The Shift knows where we’ve stored unwanted, unconscious habits of thought and reactionary emotion, and the light is clearing all this from our vibration. 

However, as these lesser thoughts and feelings are cleared, they will come into our awareness, and magnetize people and circumstances to us that mirror these chaotic energies. How do you handle these often-powerful energies when they appear. You allow them. If you can simply observe them with a sense of detachment as they come up – knowing that they are just coming up to be cleared – they will clear quickly, and you won’t even remember what the fuss was all about. 

But if you grab hold and engage these chaotic thoughts and feelings, if you insist on feeling guilty or worrying, if you continue to argue that ‘I am not OK’ or ‘They are not OK,’ these energies will not be cleared from your space – and the Shift, as it accelerates ever faster, will become a very bumpy, very ‘not OK’ road for you. 

Remember most often what comes up is not even yours; it does not belong to you. Acknowledge it and know that it’s coming up to be cleared… forever. Take a couple of deep breaths, go for a walk, listen to music — but turn your attention point to something of a higher vibration.

Understanding the Lower and Higher 4th Dimension 

To simplify another important aspect of the Shift, let’s imagine that the 4th dimension has just two parts to it – a lower 4th dimension and a higher 4th dimension. (This is not technically true, but it’s a useful distinction.) 

As I mentioned, form will remain when 3D disappears. We’ll still experience houses and cars and trees. But fear, judgments, blame and guilt, the rights and the wrongs, will disappear. All this dense emotional energy, which is the only thing that prevents us from playing in the higher dimensions right now, will simply be cleared from our space. 

However, depending upon the vibration of the thoughts you are thinking as 3D disappears, you will find yourself in either the lower 4th dimension or the higher 4th dimension. 

The lower 4th dimension, which is also called the astral plane or dream space, holds all the thoughts ever thought by anyone in the 3rd dimension. 

You see, thoughts don’t just disappear after we think them. They live on in the lower 4th dimension, with specific weight, texture, density and emotional charge. And they bond and cluster with all the other thoughts of similar character. 

Some thoughts – such as rape, domination, slavery, war, hatred – feel heavy, dense and dark. Conversely, thoughts such as ‘butterflies,’ ‘children playing in the park,’ and ‘flowers blooming on a warm spring day’ feel light and have a simple, airy vibration. Lighter thoughts like these rarely linger in a 3D consciousness. Because in order to align and feel the vibration of, for example, ‘beauty,’ we must step out of 3D consciousness into present time, a higher 4th dimensional space. 

Wait, you say, I know ‘Beauty!’ You do, because we’re now living in both the third and fourth dimensions simultaneously, but how often do you align yourself with, and linger on, the feeling of beauty? 

It’s a 4D, present-time skill to take thoughts like ‘light,’ ‘airy’ and ‘beauty’ to heart. These vibrations don’t even exist in the hurry up, past/future of the 3rd dimension where it’s very difficult to pause in present time and smell a flower. 

But, on the other hand, have you noticed that heavy, uncomfortable thoughts such as ‘I’m not good enough.’ or ‘They don’t like me.’ or ’I’m never going to succeed.’ tend to linger quite a bit longer in 3D consciousness? This is because thoughts are electric and emotions are magnetic. A set of light, airy vibrations like ‘beauty’ or ‘graciousness’ has a low, soft, electrical charge that is expansive and fluid. Whereas heavier, uglier thoughts come highly charged and wrapped in highly magnetic emotions. These thoughts are not only harder to clear than kind, loving thoughts; they also bond magnetically to all other thoughts like them in the lower 4th dimension. 

So much of the magnetic field we walk around in – I’m not OK, You’re not OK – has very little to do with who we really are. It’s just the magnetism of one heavy, unconscious thought attaching itself to the magnetism of similar heavy, unconscious thoughts. 

You begin to see why it’s vital to become conscious of the thoughts you think and the emotions you throw into your vibrational mix. 

Fortunately, the second wave of the Shift is making this easier and easier. As we let go of the heavier energies of Who We Are Not, the light is rewiring us, stepping us up into a higher 4th dimensional vibration where lesser thoughts and emotions are not such a distraction in our general experience. 

We start to live in alignment with the heart, and experience the vibrations and consequences of concepts such as ‘I like me,’ ‘I’m happy,’ ‘I’m pleased with myself.’ 

The alignment with the heart becomes natural because it already is our natural alignment in the higher fourth, fifth and sixth dimensions. 

However, some assembly is required. 

Any limitations, judgments, denials, blame, guilt, or resentments that we each still argue for, in one way or the other, become like weights on a hot air balloon. They limit how far we can rise within the fourth dimensional range of vibration. 

Each of us is 100 percent in charge of the process. The more weight – lower-vibrational patterns of words, thoughts, and emotions – we remove, the higher we rise into the expansive experience of the higher 4th dimension. Here, it is as if we look past the boundaries and limitations, which were always just a habit of observation in 3D. It’s a wider view, a calmer view, and a quieter view. In the upper 4th dimension, you can choose fear or worry, and drop into the lower 4th dimension… but you won’t. 

As you begin to align with the heart, very naturally – ‘I Like Me’ – you’re going to find there’s no reason or compulsion to choose an uncomfortable attention point in the lower 4th dimension. It comes naturally and readily because it is the language and vibration of you’re natural well being – if you let it, and if you focus upon it. 

It’s a choice. 

As the shift accelerates and time collapses and everything is in the present moment, you could still choose your thoughts and feelings unconsciously, out of 3rd dimensional habit, and you would have the opportunity to live that discomfort immediately and fully in your experience. 

Or you can choose your thought and emotion in every moment, with focus and awareness, and live the fullness of that experience. 

In other words, it’s to your benefit to practice and integrate the ability to choose the contents of your consciousness right now, before it really counts – and that moment is not very far away. 

It’s all up to you. 

Until now, the center of your head, the place from where you can choose your thoughts and attention point, has been pre-occupied by the thoughts of others. Your Mom-Dad-Teacher-Minister loved you and had an opinion about the best way for you to live your life, and as their thoughts moved in to your head, “You” moved out. 

Now it is time to take back ownership of the center of your head. As you recognize and let go of the unnatural thoughts that say, ‘Oh, I can’t do this’ and ‘I can’t do that’ and ‘I must do this,’ you’re going to find that soon all those thoughts, with their sticky interlocking connections in the lower 4th dimension, disappear. 

Just putting your attention in present time on ‘beauty’ and ‘well-being‘, or just being ‘happy’ in a state of ‘ease‘, eliminates the lesser vibrations stored within the lower astral fields of the 4th dimension. 

Start by playing with the vibration of what I call Living Words. The Archangels very deliberately and precisely selected these words – words such as Certain, Capable, Commanding, Present, Senior, Graciousness and Happy – so that you can most easily clear all the unconscious vibrations from your space. 

Choose one word each day and live with it all day, think it and feel it often. 

If you practice thinking and feeling these vibrations now, when it doesn’t absolutely count, they will become your habit when it does count. 

You begin to gracefully realign with the fullness of “You,” and your natural state of wellbeing lifts you into the higher 4th dimension. 

Easy? Kind of. 

Simple? Yes. 

Does it require awareness and a choice from a present time space? Absolutely. 

Can you sit on the sidelines and hope it all turns out? No. 

Increased levels of electromagnetic light from the higher dimensions are now flowing within all of us. Many people in the 3rd dimension cannot handle this surge, and they are choosing to step out of their bodies. 

And many, many more will follow as the Shift accelerates 

You see, everyone is going home to the 4th and then 5th dimensions, but not everyone is going home on the same timeline, and with the same ease and grace. 

How do you choose?
