IT IS TIME!
By Sananda (Lord Jesus the Christ Ascended)
(channeled though the body of Debbie Wright of Sananda's Eagles)
(public channeling)

The energies, during this energetic shift, are marvelous to
‘watch’, but I am sure they are very crunching to endure,
especially when you do not breathe well enough, or drink enough
water, or pray enough, or meditate enough, or allow enough.  I do
wish to say that we are proud of each and every one of you, and I
am including even those that are not in this room.


However, we can tell you, it is time.  It is time to do what you
feel your Creator tells you to do, because the more you fight it
the harder it shall be for you to work and survive within these
energies.  These ARE the times that the prophets of old spoke of.
These ARE the times that all the dreamers have dreamed of.


All we can do is make suggestions to assist you in coping.  We
cannot do it for you, and we understand that for some it shall be
work.  But it is time to face fears, it is time to begin allowance,
it is time to ease control, and it is time to do what needs to be
done...


Some of you...are strong enough to bear the burden.  You’re strong
enough to bear the burden for many, but what are they doing for
you?  For you see, if you feel in turmoil even when you are closest
to God, that turmoil is your soul speaking to you, telling you that
you cannot learn the lessons for all, no matter how badly you want
things to accelerate, no matter how much your heart cries out to go
Home... It is time to concentrate only on your Mission -- with others --
and then
YOU and the planet will Ascend together!

"Ascension"
By Sananda (Lord Jesus the Christ Ascended)
(channeled though the body of Debbie Wright of Sananda's Eagles)


We will call this lesson "Ascension". I put a lot of thought into
it to get that. <grin> Ascension is nothing more than the state of
rising. Rising what, you may ask. [One primary way to **rise**in
Ascension is to do your Mission for the Creator.]


You can be climbing a ladder, you can be walking up stairs, you can
be raising your vibration, you can be raising your consciousness,
or you can be 'flying high'. They're all the same. We have given
you the lessons that explain intricacies that have never been
explained fully before.


When you say 'Sananda Teaches Ascension', we ask the question
"What is it that Sananda would really wish for us to truly
understand about Ascension?" I think I can answer that. <grin> So…
we shall make a list, not necessarily in the following order, for
each individual is different. But I will give you the list of the
items that I, personally, find it helpful and beneficial for each
and every one of you to know concerning Ascension.


1.
Strive to master your ego, for it is your ego, in this reality,
that tends to muddle things for you. It is your ego, in this
reality, that tends to hold you back, that tends to make you wish
to 'mirror' all things that are sent to you, instead of allowing
you the opportunity to discern what can be mirrored and what can be
transmuted to be a different reflection of who you are. Egos are
wonderful things once they have been mastered.


2.
Allow. Allow yourself the opportunity to be who you really are. And
at the same time, allow all others that you interact with to be
exactly who THEY truly are… without your interference, that is,
because you would not wish to have their interference for you. If
you allow yourself to be who you truly are, or at least begin that
journey, then it also assists you in seeing the best in others. And
once you can begin seeing the best in others, then naturally they
will begin seeing the best in you… or vice versa.


This, and mastering your ego, are the two truly solitary things for
you to do on the ascension path. All the rest have to do with
becoming one with each other again, assisting each other, and
loving each other. For if you can begin the two on your own, to
master your ego and to allow yourself and others, then your soul
puts out a call to all others. It puts out a call saying, "We have
begun the process… come to us, help us, then we shall help you. You
sing the chorus and I'll sing the melody, or vice versa, depending
on who you are and who I am with you."


One of the hardest lessons for those in this reality to learn is,
you spend most of your lives here striving to be looked at,
striving to be noticed, striving to become 'someone'. And what it's
truly all about is to do this exact same thing but to see who has
the biggest 'group', the biggest choir. We do not encourage anyone
to be the best teacher, to be the best student. We encourage
everyone to be the best at calling out to all the rest, for the
more that you can call into yourself, the quicker this job gets
done.


The ASCENSION of mankind and the ascension of this planet are NOT
acquired by individual progress. That goal shall be accomplished
by… the "team" having the most players shall win. <grin> THAT is
what I wish for all that have learned my lessons to realize...


We love patting each and every one of you on the head… and that is
not meant in a condescending manner… for we love dearly each and
every one of you. We hug you all the time, however we cannot allow
you to feel that energy when we hug you. Some of you get glimpses
because, when we do hug you, it raises your vibration so high that
you just might 'tweak out'. So we can caress, and we can pat, and
we can hug 'unofficially', because we DO understand that this is
not an easy job.


We do understand that, as far as YOUR MISSIONS are concerned,
some of us probably have had a better go of it than some of you.
And for that we are truly thankful. Not because we're thankful it
was not us that had the hard job, it is because we are thankful
that the right person got the hard job. Because that hard job is to
be done by the best, and the best ones here have those jobs. And we
understand that, we acknowledge that. The only ones that do not
truly and fully understand that and acknowledge that are those that
have those jobs. And they pray, and they beg, and sometimes they
stand outside and yell, scream, and holler at us. <grin> But that's
OK… we have it all recorded for you for later. We honestly feel
you'll have a full appreciation of the entertainment value of that
once this mission is over with. <grin> And while we lounge around
on our ships, and we eat our chocolates, and drink our Arnk, <grin>
we have more compassion for you than you'll ever know.



There have been times that some of us have crossed the line
occasionally to make things just a little bit easier for you,
however, we cannot do that without permission. And that permission
is usually given unless there's some sort of contractual snafu in
there that keeps it from being taken care of. But we do wish for
you to understand that for every prayer, or 'beg', or sometimes
vile words that get thrown our way, it is OK because we are doing
the exact same thing for you and with you. However, what gets the
job done is 'perseverance'. And if you can master your ego, and
allow yourself and others, it DOES make it less of a struggle.


Now, I'm going to ask a couple of questions. And I wish for these
questions to be pondered before answering. So it, technically, is
not possible to have you answer these in your classroom unless you
do what we've always encouraged you to do, and that is to read the
lessons beforehand. So I guess we'll know then, won't we? <grin>


a) I have, or have not, begun mastering my ego. Yes or No?
b) I allow myself to begin to see who I truly am. Yes or No?
c) I allow others the opportunity to see and be who they truly are
without interference from me. Yes or No?

SaLuSa 30-March-2012

There is great hope in this message.  I'd like to comment on this line:  "Many can already relate to a new feeling of being relaxed and unaffected by what is going on around them."  I passed this point last August, when suddenly it felt like a weight was lifted from my shoulders.  Suddenly, the future didn't seem so grim, the thoughts of a Planet X scenario subsided and I wasn't worried any longer.  And for an obsessive worrier like me, that's saying something.  But I've noticed that has improved greatly.  Read on -- and those with ill health will hear some good news too . . . Cheryl . . .

It cannot be but a short time before the many activities that are being carried out to advance you, come to your attention. The extent to which our allies are involved will force the issues to be considered by the media. It might take a little longer before our presence is reported, but whatever steps are taken to prevent it will be futile. The first reactions will bring out all kinds of responses, but those who cast doubt or reject us will soon be overshadowed through acceptance by the majority of the people. It will not take long at all for the realization to sink in that we are here to help you, and that includes removing all those who have usurped their authority and responsibility to you for many years. It is the end of the Illuminati already seriously weakened by losing much of their control over you.

You will know by now that we are fully engaged in keeping peace on the planet, although we cannot stop every confrontation. Peace will come to you when the big powers stop interfering in other countries affairs. For too long they have plotted and manipulated circumstances that have forced countries to sell out their commodities. The result has been that much of the wealth generated that should have helped its inhabitants, has been taken out of the country. These problems will all be put right, with the raising up of people's living standards and introduction to new technologies. In the poorer countries a big problem has been the lack of medical attention and adequate facilities, but that will be quickly overcome. The use of drugs will become unnecessary, as we will use natural methods through technologies that will be new to you. No challenge will be too much for us to deal with, and the changes will be seen very quickly.

We know that people are already anxious to find out what will happen, but we ask that you wait until we can fully present ourselves. We wish to reach out to everyone and ensure you quickly understand what is required of you. Have no fear, as all will given in good time, and also opportunities to meet with us to sort out any queries. For a time there will be continuous broadcasts to update you on progress being made. There are exciting times coming up and it will spread around the world once the future is understood. Freedom is something few have really experienced yet it shall engulf you all before Ascension takes place.

The future is golden and is in fact a Golden Age, and that fact alone should give you an indication of what to look forward to. Living in perfection and having the ability to create at will, will be a new experience and by then you should have acquired a higher level of consciousness and understanding that will prevent misuse of your powers. As you can see, a great leap forward is to occur and to say the least you will be absolutely different to what you are now. An extended life period of your choosing will be something new, and gives you more than ample time to fully experience it. In fact you will be able to literally "swap" bodies if it is necessary to ensure completion. These are all areas that you will eventually understand, and remember that you will have a greatly enhanced degree of consciousness.

Duality has given you immense strength to handle the most arduous and difficult challenges. So Dear Ones, we believe that you can sail through the remaining months to Ascension. You have been prepared to know what to expect, and whatever inconvenience you experience it will be followed by an on going period of peace and tranquility. Naturally we are forging ahead with our roles in the present exchanges with us and our allies, against the dark Ones as they retreat and find us ready to foil any attempt to cause trouble. We are very much in the role of Galactic Policemen but we abide by the Universal Laws, and our ways are peaceful but forceful if we have to exert our authority. Even those who oppose us are still part of the whole, and treated with respect for the Light they carry. No soul is beyond redemption, and in the ultimate it is love that brings about changes that awaken them once again.

Clearly you must look beyond the outer body as you view your fellow man, and keep in mind that all souls originate from the Source. All of you have experienced the extremes of duality, and it is as well that you bear in mind a very apt saying "but for the Grace of God go I". It is why you are encouraged to put aside judgment, and try to see the beauty and love in all souls. All will eventually become enlightened once again no matter how long it takes, but then time is of no consequence outside of your dimension as it does not exist. Whilst on Earth in duality "no time" is an unimaginable idea, but perhaps you can grasp that all is in the Now. That makes your travels extremely interesting, as you can go back into the past, and for those of you who have a decisive pull towards particular historical times, what better than to be able visit them. It is also possible to travel different time lines into the future, which your Time Travelers have experienced.

Bit by bit you are adjusting to the new life ahead, and you choose where it leads you to continue your evolution. Be assured that you do have spiritual helpers to give you advice as to what is best for your progress. You have never been without such help, and if you struggle now do not hesitate to put out your thoughts to them, and you might be pleasantly surprised by the outcome. However, you cannot dictate exactly how it is to work out, as it must be for your best good and you may not know exactly what that is. After Ascension you get to know those souls who have traveled with you through duality. They may not all stay with you as your needs will undoubtedly change, as your future life will possibly be more defined as to the direction you want to go in.

I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and must mention yet again how time is speeding up, a sure sign that you are uplifting much more quickly into the Light. Many can already relate to a new feeling of being relaxed and unaffected by what is going on around them. That feeling of calmness will spread, and the much dreaded fear factor will cease to have the same affect. Well done to those who have achieved such levels, and my love to you all.

Thank you SaLuSa.

Mike Quinsey.

********** THE IMPENDING LABOR OF EARTH **********

                                  Sanat Kumara

     Channeled Through Janisel of Sananda's Eagles

SanatKumara.jpg
 

It is I, Sanat Kumara, who comes forth to speak with you regarding
our Beloved Mother Earth. Most of you know me as the Planetary
Logos, the one who embodies this planet, filling every cell of her
being, lighting and paving the way for some of the most historic
events in her history. I come forth at this time to ask each of you
to become, as it were, a Planetary Logos... filling your Heart
Center with the Love for our Mother. She is going through a most
difficult time right now, and is in need of much Love and Care. For
those of you of the female gender who have been on the threshold
of
birth, you are well aware of what I speak.

Mother Earth is now in the throes of labor... and a difficult labor
it is. She is hurting and she needs your Love. The time for the
"big push" is at hand. Long has she strived to hold back on this
birth, giving everyone ample opportunity to awaken to their own
Divinity, to their Oneness with her. The time has now come when the
pangs of birth are so strong that she can hold off no longer.

Earth changes are impending, however this is part of her birthing
process. It must be in order for her to move into her Higher state
of Being. She [Mother Earth Gaia / Shan] has loved you, cared for you,
provided for you, nourished you, and now she must move on… on to
her rightful Ascended State. And she holds open the opportunity for
all humanity to join her on this journey. All she asks is for you
to join with her in Light...in Love... in Oneness. Accompany her
into the Higher Realms by way of your own Ascension. The choice, of
course, is yours. You may go...or you may stay. She has made her
choice, however, and is now ready to Ascend.

Be not afraid of the  coming "push", for all is as it should be.
Send her  Love, hold  her in your Heart, embody her to help her
through this difficult  time. She has held back as long as she can,
but now must burst forth from her chrysalis as does the butterfly
as it takes to the air. I ask all of you to join me in helping with this
birth. Long have I held the Light in every cell of her body, and now
I ask you to continue to do the same.

While holding this LIGHT, it is now time to step back and let
Mother Nature, as it were, take its rightful course. She is now
striving to rise to her perfection, but cannot do so without your
Light paving the way. Bless her, and tell her you love her and are
standing by as midwives, so to speak, ready to help in any way you
can. Hinder her no more, but instead give her the command to
"Push!".....to begin this great and glorious birth. Her time is at
hand, as is yours. She has delayed as long as possible in order for
her children to come out of the place of fear. But she can wait no
longer.

Put away your fear and ride the tide of redemption with her! Yes,
the changes will come. Yes, there will be moments of doubt and
uncertainty when these changes begin. But fear not! Know that we
are with all of you, and that each of you is exactly where you
should be at any given moment. Stand back and watch as the Glory of
God is revealed to All. My Love and Peace I leave with you. I AM
Sanat Kumara.

Missing Time? Or Is Time Jumping?

I was working on the computer and looked at the clock.  It said 11:11 (which has been happening frequently).  The microwave had been beeping at me for a while, so I went to the kitchen and retrieved my food.  I went back to my computer and started to eat, glancing at the clock, which said 11:21.  That action did not take 10 minutes, maybe one or two at the most. 

I've never noticed missing time before, but I've read about it.  That was weird.  Didn't feel a thing.  Just 7 or 8 minutes of my life just disappeared.  Anybody else ever experience anything like that?

From an email from John DiNardo. CN comment: If PX is half billion miles from Earth and still below the ecliptic, it certainly can't be between the Earth and Sun. Also note, many river towns will be destroyed. This is not exclusive to large rivers like the Mississippi, it is many river towns so play it safe and don't be near any river town.

According to John, Al Sutton is reputed to be a good source of information on earth changes.

*********

From Al Sutton's Book, "Plagues of the Revelation," page 6:


So ... where is the Destroyer {a.k.a. Planet X, Red Comet, etc.} now (8/23/10)? The Destroyer is still south of the plane of the planets at 10h 27.6' RA; 42° 53.1' declination; 5.73 AU {over a half billion miles} distant, running weeks ahead of its Herald which is the object actually sighted as the Sign on June 21, 2011 (Model Time), see Figure 2.

3. The Coming War: Nuclear Weapons and Invasions ... There are some effects which either St. John did not observe or didn't write down, but which we still must assume will happen. The most important loss to our current civilization will be the complete destruction of any spacecraft in Earth orbit. Even the smallest pieces of sand and gravel will cause major damage at 42 km/sec relative speeds, and the closing speeds could be higher for an orbiting satellite. [Perhaps the reason why the Envisat orbit was recently lowered, under the pretext of saving fuel and extending the life of its mission?--CN] There's risk of EMP {electromagnetic pulse} from the large impactors {JD: meteors, asteroids} like Wormwood and the unnamed impactor of The Book of Revelation, Chapter 9, and EMP will destroy satellites and ground stations. For those satellites that may be lucky enough to survive physical impact, they will find themselves in a dark envelope of interplanetary dust with their solar electric panels hidden from the sun and therefore dysfunctional.

page 7:
The tidal waves from cosmic impacts and tidal forces around perigee {JD: the comet's closest flyby position from Earth} are going to destroy the entire world's navies, all its coastal cities, all its port facilities, and many of its river towns. If ambitious politicians and militaries are planning intercontinental adventures, say if Russia or China wanted to invade the United States, then they must attempt it well before Destroyer reaches perigee.


4. BLACK SUN, RED MOON, METEOR STORM ...
{JD: from The Book of Revelation, Chapter 6: "12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was
a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? "}
See Figure 1 again. As the Destroyer slides down its orbit from perihelion {JD: Planet X's closest loop-over point above the Sun's north pole} (Pt. C) toward perigee {JD: Planet X's second close pass by Earth as it exits our Solar System} (Pt. D), the first thing that will happen is that dust, lots of dust, will come between the Earth and the Sun. It may appear a bit like the Sun having a shade pulled across its face or the onset of a solar eclipse. On the night side of earth, the stars will still be bright, and the moon will still be high in the sky, a nearly full moon on 13 Sept 2011, but now it will not be lit by the direct light of the sun, but by the scattered red light that "leaks through" the dust cloud just like the dust of autumn harvesting or the dust of an exploding volcano will cause a red sky at morning or evening, or even like the blood red moon of a lunar eclipse. Then, as earth actually reaches the edge of the envelope itself, the sky will be filled with a meteor storm as the first fine grains of dust come streaking into our atmosphere at 42 km/sec.
About that same time, 1/8 AU {JD: 11.6 million miles; that's really close for an object about a thousand times the mass of Earth} out from perigee, Destroyer's gravitational forces on the Earth will have risen to 4.6% of the Earth-Moon magnitude, and that Force is acting at an angle between 30° and 45° to the ecliptic plane. The tidal force appears too small to be responsible at this point for the great earthquake or major geological or geographical changes of Revelation 6:12-14. However, it is possible that St. John is recording the first major cosmic impact as a large asteroid or moon in the Destroyer's outer shell slams into Earth. And although St. John didn't mention it, modern prophets from Haniel to Apache Grandfather, and ancient sources like the Kolbrin say it ... red dust and red rain fall. Red dust and/or red rain have been reported in connection to meteor falls throughout history, with the most recent, best documented falls in India in 2001 {see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red rain in Kerala}.
Footnotes: 15 Book of HanieI 9-13-04 plus additional undocumented visions provided in private conversation ... Asian troops launch an amphibious invasion of the United States, including incursions across the Mexican border.
Equipment suggests a Chinese force, but that's certainly arguable. ICBM missiles were seen flying "among the stones", and the resulting explosions in the United States were documented separately.
16 Revelation 6:12-14, KJV

Q&A: WHY SHOULD WE CHANGE THE CLOCKS?

Why do we need to change the clocks to have an extra hour of daylight?

Friday August 13,2010
By Daily Express Reporter

Comment Speech Bubble Have your say(5)

WHY do we need to change the clocks to have an extra hour of daylight?







Longer, brighter evenings would make roads safer, cut energy bills, benefit the environment and boost tourism, according to campaigners. It would also
mean people could do more activities in the evenings, particularly in
the winter months.

How will it save lives?

Evidence shows that up to 80 lives a year would be saved on Britain’s roads as millions of journeys would take place in daylight rather than the
dark.Road safety campaigners argue that children would be safer as most
accidents involving them take place after school, not before.

What will happen to the tourist industry?

Experts predict the industry would earn an extra £4billion a year and create 80,000 jobs. Attractions such as Alton Towers would be able to stay open
later, particularly in the spring and autumn when the nights begin to
close in. The Scottish skiing industry would also benefit. Pubs and
restaurants could reap the rewards as more people would be willing to go
out after work if it is lighter.

What are the benefits to the environment?

Environmental groups say brighter evenings could save almost 500,000 tons of CO2 each year, equivalent to taking 185,000 cars off the road permanently, as
people would drive less. Household bills could also go down as people
spend more time outdoors.

How would the change happen?

“Double Summer Time” could be achieved by not turning the clocks back one autumn, after which the usual cycle of putting the clocks forward an
hour in spring and back an hour in autumn would resume.

The change would bring the country in line with much of the rest of Europe.

When is the change likely to happen?

The change could be implemented next autumn – it needs to go through Parliament first. David Cameron has signalled his willingness to pursue
the issue but he needs the support of the public. A three-year trial is
the most likely prospect at the moment.



FROM SAVING LIVES TO MONEY, THE SWITCH TICKS ALL THE BOXES



Story Image


David Cameron has promised to look at the idea

Friday August 13,2010
By John Ingham, Environment Editor

Comment Speech Bubble Have your say(1)

SWITCHING to British Summer Time all year round would save lives and money and boost the economy without any cost to the country, supporters claim.







They include the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents which estimates that single BST in winter and double BST in summer – SDST – would prevent 450 deaths and injuries on
the roads each year.

It cites a winter trial of BST between 1968 and 1971 when road accident deaths and serious injuries dropped by 11 per cent in England and 17 per
cent in Scotland.

Four years ago the Department for Transport estimated that the change would save about 100 lives a year on the road.

ROSPA says preventing this many deaths would save the country about £200million. Changing permanently to BST increases evening daylight
while reducing the hours of daylight in the early morning when fewer
people are up and about.

ROSPA says that extra evening daylight would protect vulnerable road users like children, the elderly and cyclists by making them more visible to
motorists.

It argues that from November to February there are 50 per cent more fatal and serious injuries from 4pm to 7pm compared with 7am to 10am, and three times as
many among children in the peak hours from 3pm to 6pm compared with 7am
to 10am.

But there would also be other benefits, including lower energy bills and greenhouse gas emissions.The Energy Saving Trust has ­estimated that SDST would save
one per cent of the UK’s energy, ­cutting bills by £260million a year.

This includes £60million off domestic and £200million off ­business energy bills. At the same time the switch would cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Tory MP Tim Yeo, chairman of the Commons Energy and ­Climate Change Select Committee, said a Cambridge University study showed SDST would cut
emissions by 1.2 million tons a year “at no cost to consumers”.

He said: “During World War II BST+1 was used in winter and BST+2 in summer to save fuel. It made sense then and it makes sense now.” The move
would align Britain with its major trading partner, the EU and increase
tourism turnover in Britain by £1billion a year.

HOW THE WORLD SET ITS CLOCKS TO GMT



Story Image


How the world began to use Greewich Mean Time as a reference point

Friday August 13,2010
By Anil Dawar

Comment Speech Bubble Have your say(0)

GREENWICH Mean Time developed into the global time reference point thanks to Britain’s naval power in the 18th and 19th centuries.







British sailors always carried at least one chronometer – a highly precise clock – set to GMT so they could calculate their longitude away from the Greenwich Meridian of zero
degrees.

As increasing numbers of mariners from different nations began using the same measurements, GMT became the universally accepted reference point and
led to the creation of time zones.

It was adopted as the official UK time in 1880.

Not long after, British Summer Time and the practice of moving clocks forward an hour between May and October became law with the Summer Time
Act in 1916.

The change came about thanks to the campaigning efforts of English builder William Willett.

The flexible system gave farmers more daylight hours to work in their fields and saved coal for the war effort.

During the Second World War, the country entered into Double Summer Time. It kept the hour’s advance on GMT at the start of the winter of 1940 and
for the subsequent five winters and continued to advance the clocks by
an extra hour each summer and then back one hour in winter.

Clocks in Britain reverted to GMT at the end of the summer of 1945.
