a near death experience by Mellen-Thomas Benedict
A JOURNEY THROUGH THE LIGHT AND BACK
> Mellen-Thomas Benedict speaks:
>
> In 1982 I died from terminal cancer. The condition I had was inoperable,
> and any kind of chemotherapy they could give me would just have made me more
> of a vegetable. I was given six to eight months to live.
>
> I had been an information freak in the 1970s, and I had become increasingly
> despondent over the nuclear crisis, the ecology crisis, and so forth. So,
> since I did not have a spiritual basis, I began to believe that nature had
> made a mistake and that we were probably a cancerous organism on the ,,
> planet.
> I saw no way that we could get out from all the problems we had created
> for ourselves and the planet. I perceived all humans as cancer-and that is what
> I got.
>
> That is what killed me. Be careful what your world view is. It can feed
> back on you, especially if it is a negative world view. I had a seriously
> negative one. That is what led me into my death. I tried all sorts of
> alternative healing methods, but nothing helped.
>
> So I determined that this was really just between me and God. I had never
> really faced God before or even dealt with God. I was not into any kind of
> spirituality at the time, but I began a journey into learning about
> spirituality and alternative healing. I set out to do all the reading I
> could and bone up on the subject, because I did not want to be surprised
> on the other side. So I started reading on various religions and
> philosophies.
> They were all very interesting and gave hope that there was something on
> the other side. I ended up in hospice care.
>
> I remember waking up one morning at home about 4:30 AM, and I just knew
> that this was it.
>
> This was the day I was going to die. So I called a few friends and said
> goodbye. I woke up my hospice caretaker and told her. I had a private
> agreement with her that she would leave my dead body alone for six hours,
> since I had read that all kinds of interesting things happen when you die.
> I went back to sleep.
>
> The next thing I remember is the beginning of a typical near-death
> experience. Suddenly I was fully aware-and I was standing up but my body
> was in the bed. There was this darkness around me. Being out of my body was
> even more vivid than ordinary experience. It was so vivid that I could see
> every room in the house. I could see the top of the house, I could see around
> the house, I could see under the house.
>
> There was this Light shining. I turned toward the Light. The Light was
> very similar to what many other people have described in their near-death
> experiences. It was so magnificent. It is tangible; you can feel it. It is
> alluring; you want to go to it like you would want to go to your ideal
> mother's or father's arms.
>
> As I began to move toward the Light, I knew intuitively that if I went to
> the Light, I would be dead. So as I was moving toward the Light I said,
> "Please wait a minute; just hold on a second here. I want to think about
> this. I would like to talk to you before I go." To my surprise, the entire
> experience halted at that point. You are in control of your
> life-after-death experience. You are not on a roller coaster ride.
>
> So my request was honored, and I had some conversations with the Light.
> The Light kept changing into different figures, like Jesus, Buddha, Krishna,
> mandalas, archetypal images and signs. I asked the Light, "What is going
> on here? Please, Light, clarify yourself for me. I really want to know the
> reality of the situation." I cannot really say the exact words, because it
> was sort of telepathy.
>
> The Light responded. The information transferred to me was that during
> your life-after- death experience your beliefs shape the kind of feedback you
> are getting before the Light. If you were a Buddhist or Catholic or
> Fundamentalist, you get a feedback loop of your own stuff. You have a
> chance to look at it and examine it, but most people do not. As the Light
> revealed itself to me, I became aware that what I was really seeing was our Higher
> Self matrix.
>
> We all have a Higher Self, or an oversoul part of our being. It revealed
> itself to me in its truest energy form. The only way I can really describe
> it is that the Being of the Higher Self is more like a conduit. It did not
> look like that, but it is a direct connection to the Source that each and
> every one of us have. We are directly connected to the Source. So the
> Light was showing me the Higher Self matrix. I was not committed to one
> particular religion. So that is what was being fed back to me during my
> life-after-death experience.
>
> As I asked the Light to keep clearing for me, to keep explaining, I
> understood what the Higher Self matrix is. We have a grid around the
> planet where all the Higher Selves are connected.
>
> This is like a great company, a next subtle level of energy around us, the
> spirit level, you might say. Then, after a couple of minutes, I asked for
> more clarification. I really wanted to know what the Universe is about,
> and I was ready to go at that time. I said, "I am ready, take me."
>
> Then the Light turned into the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen:
> a mandala of human souls on this planet. Now I came to this with my negative
> view of what was happening on the planet. So as I asked the Light to keep
> clarifying for me, I saw in this magnificent mandala how beautiful we all
> are in our essence, our core. We are the most beautiful creations.
>
> The human soul, the human matrix that we all make together, is absolutely
> fantastic, elegant, exotic, everything. I just cannot say enough about how
> it changed my opinion of human Beings in that instant. I said, "Oh, God, I
> did not know how beautiful we are." At any level, high or low, in whatever
> shape you are in, you are the most beautiful creation.
>
> The revelations coming from the Light seemed to go on and on. Then I
> asked the Light, "Does this mean that Mankind will be saved?" Then, like a
> trumpet blast with a shower of spiraling lights, the Great Light spoke, saying,
> "Remember this and never forget; you save, redeem and heal yourself. You
> always have. You always will. You were created with the power to do so
> from before the beginning of the world."
>
> In that instant I realized even more. I realized that WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN
> SAVED, and we saved ourselves because we were designed to self- correct
> like the rest of God's Universe. This is what the second coming is about. I
> thanked the Light of God with all my heart. The best thing I could come up
> with was these simple words of total appreciation: "Oh dear God, dear
> Universe, dear Great Self, I Love My Life."
>
> The Light seemed to breathe me in even more deeply. It was as if the Light
> was completely absorbing me. The Love Light is, to this day,
> indescribable.
> I entered into another realm, more profound than the last and became aware
> of something more, much more. It was an enormous stream of Light, vast and
> full, deep in the Heart of Life. I asked what this was.
>
> The Light responded, "This is the RIVER OF LIFE. Drink of this manna water
> to your heart's content." So I did. I took one big drink and then another.
> To drink of Life Itself! I was in ecstasy.
>
> Then the Light said, "You have a desire." The Light knew all about me,
> everything past, present and future. "Yes!" I whispered.
>
> I asked to see the rest of the Universe, beyond our solar system, beyond
> all human illusion. The Light then told me that I could go with the Stream. I
> did, and was carried through the Light at the end of the tunnel. I felt
> and heard a series of very soft sonic booms. What a rush!
>
> Suddenly I seemed to be rocketing away from the planet on this stream of
> Life. I saw the Earth fly away. The solar system, in all its splendor,
> whizzed by and disappeared. At faster than light speed, I flew through the
> center of the Galaxy, absorbing more knowledge as I went. I learned that
> this Galaxy, and all of the Universe, is bursting with many different
> varieties of LIFE. I saw many worlds. The good news is that we are not
> alone in this Universe!
>
> As I rode this stream of consciousness through the center of the Galaxy,
> the stream was expanding in awesome fractal waves of energy. The super
> clusters of Galaxies with all their ancient wisdom flew by. At first I thought I
> was going somewhere, actually traveling. But then I realized that as the
> stream was expanding, my own consciousness was also expanding to take in
> everything in the Universe! All creation passed by me. It was an unimaginable wonder!
> I truly was a Wonder Child; a babe in Wonderland!
At this point, I found myself in a profound stillness, beyond all silence.
> I could see or perceive FOREVER, beyond Infinity.
> I was in the Void.
> I was in pre-creation, before the Big Bang. I had crossed over the
> beginning of time/the First Word/the First Vibration. I was in the Eye of Creation.
> I felt as if I was touching the Face of God. It was not a religious feeling.
> Simply, I was at one with Absolute Life and Consciousness.
>
> When I say that I could see or perceive forever, I mean that I could
> experience all of creation generating itself. It was without beginning and
> without end. That is a mind expanding thought, isn't it?
>
> Scientists perceive the Big Bang as a single event which created the
> Universe. I saw during my life-after- death experience that the Big Bang
> is only one of an infinite number of Big Bangs creating Universes endlessly
> and simultaneously. The only images that even come close in human terms would
> be> those created by super computers using fractal geometry equations.
>
> The ancients knew of this. They said God had periodically created new
> Universes by breathing out and recreated other Universes by breathing in.
> These epochs were called Yugas. Modern science called this the Big Bang. I
> was in absolute, pure consciousness. I could see or perceive all the Big
> Bangs or Yugas creating and recreating themselves. Instantly I entered
> into them all simultaneously. I saw that each and every little piece of
> creation has the power to create. It is very difficult to try to explain this. I am
> still speechless about this.
>
> It took me years after I returned from my near-death experience to
> assimilate any words at all for the Void experience. I can tell you this
> now: the Void is less than nothing, yet more than everything that is! The
> Void is absolute zero, chaos forming all possibilities. It is Absolute
> Consciousness, much more than even Universal Intelligence.
>
> The Void is the vacuum or nothingness between all physical manifestations.
> It is the SPACE between atoms and their components. Modern science has
> begun to study this space between everything. They call it Zero point. Whenever
> they try to measure it, their instruments go off the scale, or to
> infinity, so to speak. They have no way, as of yet, to measure infinity accurately.
> There is more of the zero space in your own body and the Universe than
> anything else!
>
> What mystics call the Void is not a void. It is so full of energy, a
> different kind of energy that has created everything that we are.
> Everything since the Big Bang is vibration, from the first Word, which is the first
> vibration. The biblical "I AM" really has a question mark after it. "I
> AM-What am I?" So creation is God exploring God's Self through every way
> imaginable, in an on-going, infinite exploration through every one of us.
> I began to see during my near-death experience that everything that is, is the
> Self, literally your Self, my Self. Everything is the great Self. That is
> why God knows even when a leaf falls. That is possible because wherever
> you are is the center of the Universe. Wherever any atom is, that is the
> center of the Universe. There is God in that, and God in the Void.
>
> As I was exploring the Void during my life-after- death experience and all
> the Yugas or creations, I was completely out of time and space as we know
> it. In this expanded state, I discovered that creation is about Absolute
> Pure Consciousness, or God, coming into the Experience of Life as we know
> it. The Void itself is devoid of experience. It is pre life, before the
> first vibration. Godhead is about more than Life and Death. Therefore
> there is even more than Life and Death to experience in the Universe!
>
> When I realized this, I was finished with the Void and wanted to return to
> this creation, or Yuga. It just seemed like the natural thing to do. Then
> I suddenly came back through the second Light, or the Big Bang, hearing
> several more velvet booms. I rode the stream of consciousness back through
> all of creation, and what a ride it was! The super clusters of Galaxies
> came through me with even more insights. I passed through the center of our
> Galaxy, which is a black hole. Black holes are the great processors or
> recyclers of the Universe.
>
> Do you know what is on the other side of a black hole? We are; our Galaxy,
> which has been reprocessed from another Universe. In its total energy
> configuration, the Galaxy looked like a fantastic city of lights.. All
> energy this side of the Big Bang is Light. Every sub atom, atom, star,
> planet, even consciousness itself is made of Light and has a frequency
> and/or particle. Light is living stuff. Everything is made of Light, even
> stones. So everything is alive. Everything is made from the Light of God;
> everything is very intelligent.
>
> As I rode the stream on and on, I could eventually see a huge Light
> coming.
> I knew it was the First Light; the Higher Self Light Matrix of our Solar
> System. Then the entire Solar System appeared in the Light, accompanied by
> one of those velvet booms.
>
> I could see all the energy that this Solar System generates, and it is an
> incredible Light show! I could hear the Music of the Spheres. Our Solar
> System, as do all celestial bodies, generates a unique matrix of light,
> sound and vibratory energies. Advanced civilizations from other star
> systems can spot Life as we know it in the Universe by the vibratory or energy
> matrix imprint. It is child's play. The Earth's wonder child (Human
> Beings) make an abundance of sound right now, like children playing in the
> backyard of the Universe.
>
> The Light explained to me that there is no death; we are immortal Beings.
> We have already been alive forever! I realized that we are part of a natural
> living system that recycles itself endlessly. I was never told that I had
> to come back. I just knew that I would. It was only natural, from what I had
> seen during my life-after-death experience.
>
> I don't know how long I was with the Light, in human time. But there came
> a moment when I realized that all my questions had been answered and my
> return was near. When I say that all my questions were answered on the other
> side,
> I mean to say just that. All my questions have been answered. Every human
> has a different life and set of questions to explore. Some of our
> questions are universal, but each of us is exploring this thing we call Life in our
> own unique way. So is every other form of life, from mountains to every
> leaf on every tree.
>
> That is very important to the rest of us in this Universe. Because it all
> contributes to the Big Picture, the fullness of Life. We are literally God
> exploring God's Self in an infinite Dance of Life. Your uniqueness
> enhances
> all of Life.
>
> As I began my return to the life cycle, it never crossed my mind, nor was
> I told, that I would return to the same body. It just did not matter. I had
> complete trust in the Light and the Life process. As the stream merged with
> the great Light, I asked never to forget the revelations and the feelings
> of what I had learned on the other side.
>
> There was a "Yes." It felt like a kiss to my soul.
>
> Then I was taken back through the Light into the vibratory realm again.
> The whole process reversed, with even more information being given to me. I
> came back home, and I was given lessons from my near-death experience on the
> mechanics of reincarnation. I was given answers to all those little
> questions I had: "How does this work? How does that work?" I knew that I
> would be reincarnated.
>
> The Earth is a great processor of energy, and individual consciousness
> evolves out of that into each one of us. I thought of myself as a human
> for the first time, and I was happy to be that. From what I have seen, I would
> be happy to be an atom in this Universe. An atom. So to be the human part
> of God-this is the most fantastic blessing. It is a blessing beyond our
> wildest estimation of what a blessing can be. For each and every one of us to be
> the human part of this experience is awesome and magnificent. Each and every
> one of us, no matter where we are, screwed up or not, is a blessing to the
> planet, right where we are.
>
> I went through the reincarnation process expecting to be a baby somewhere.
> But I was given a lesson on how individual identity and consciousness
> evolve. I was so surprised when I opened my eyes. I do not know why,
> because I understood it, but it was still such a surprise to be back in this body,
> back in my room with someone looking over me, crying her eyes out. It was
> my hospice caretaker. She had given up an hour and a half after finding me
> dead. My body was stiff and inflexible. She went into the other room. Then
> I awakened and saw the light outside. I tried to get up to go to it, but I
> fell out of the bed. She heard a loud "clunk," ran in and found me on the
> floor.
>
> When I recovered, I was very surprised and yet very awed about what had
> happened to me during my near-death experience. At first all the memory of
> the trip that I have now was not there. I kept slipping out of this world
> and kept asking, "Am I alive?" This world seemed more like a dream than
> that one. Within three days I was feeling normal again, clearer, yet different
> than I had ever felt in my life. My memory of my near-death experience
> came back later. I could see nothing wrong with any human Being I had ever
> seen.
> Before that I was really judgmental. I thought a lot of people were really
> screwed up. In fact, I thought that everybody was screwed up but me. But
> I got clear on all that.
>
> About three months later a friend said I should get tested, so I went and
> got the scans and so forth. I really felt good, so I was afraid of getting
> bad news. I remember the doctor at the clinic looking at the before and
> after scans, saying, "Well, there is nothing here now." I said, "Really,
> it must be a miracle"' He said "No, these things happen; they are called
> spontaneous remissions." He acted very unimpressed. But here was a
> miracle, and I was impressed, even if no one else was.
>
> During my near-death experience I had a descent into what you might call
> Hell, and it was very surprising. I did not see Satan or evil. My descent
> into Hell was a descent into each person's customized human misery,
> ignorance, and darkness of not knowing. It seemed like a miserable
> eternity.
> But each of the millions of souls around me had a little star of Light
> always available. But no one seemed to pay attention to it. They were so
> consumed with their own grief, trauma and misery. But, after what seemed
> an eternity, I started calling out to that Light, like a child calling to a
> parent for help.
>
> Then the Light opened up and formed a tunnel that came right to me and
> insulated me from all that fear and pain, That is what Hell really is. So
> what we are doing is learning to hold hands, to come together. The doors
> of Hell are open now. We are going to link up, hold hands and walk out of
> Hell together. The Light came to me and turned into a huge golden Angel. I
> said, "Are you the Angel of Death?" It expressed to me that it was my oversoul,
> my Higher Self matrix, a super ancient part of ourselves. Then I was taken to
> the Light.
>
> Soon our science will quantify spirit. Isn't that going to be wonderful?
> We are coming up with devices now that are sensitive to subtle energy or
> spirit energy. Physicists use these atomic colliders to smash atoms to see what
> they are made of. They have got it down to quarks and charm, and all that.
> Well, one day they are going to come down to the little thing that holds
> it all together, and they are going to have to call it...God. We are just
> beginning to understand that we are creating too, as we go along. As I saw
> forever, I came to a realm during my near-death experience in which there
> is a point where we pass all knowledge and begin creating the next fractal,
> the next level. We have that power to create as we explore. And that is God
> expanding itself through us.
>
> Since my return I have experienced the Light spontaneously, and I have
> learned how to get to that space almost any time in my meditation. Each
> one of you can do this. You do not have to die or have a near-death experience
> to do this. It is within your equipment; you are wired for it already. The
> body is the most magnificent Light Being there is. The body is a Universe
> of incredible Light. Spirit is not pushing us to dissolve this body. That is
> not what is happening. Stop trying to become God; God is becoming you.
> Here.
>
>
> I asked God: "What is the best religion on the planet? Which one is
> right?"
> And Godhead said, with great love: "I don't care." That was incredible
> grace. When Godhead said, "I don't care," I immediately understood that it
> is for us to care about. It is important, because we are the caring
> Beings.
>It matters to us and that is where it is important. What you have is the
> energy equation in spirituality. Ultimate Godhead does not care if you are
> Protestant, Buddhist or whatever. It is all a blooming facet of the whole.
> I wish that all religions would realize it and let each other be. It is not
> the end of each religion, but we are talking about the same God. Live and
> let live. Each has a different view. And it all adds up to the big
> picture;
> it is all important.
>
> I went over to the other side during my near-death experience with a lot
> of fears about toxic waste, nuclear missiles, the population explosion, the
> rainforest. I came back loving every single problem. I love nuclear waste.
> I love the mushroom cloud; this is the holiest mandala that we have
> manifested to date, as an archetype. It, more than any religion or philosophy on
> Earth, brought us together all of a sudden, to a new level of consciousness.
> Knowing that maybe we can blow up the planet fifty times, or 500 times, we
> finally realize that maybe we are all here together, now.
>
> For a period they had to keep setting off more bombs to get it in to us.
> Then we started saying, "we do not need this any more." Now we are
> actually in a safer world than we have ever been in, and it is going to get safer.
> So I came back from my near-death experience loving toxic waste because it
> brought us together. These things are so big. As Peter Russell might say,
> these problems are now "soul size." Do we have soul size answers" YES!
>
> The clearing of the rain forest will slow down, and in fifty years there
> will be more trees on the planet than in a long time. If you are into
> ecology, go for it; you are that part of the system that is becoming
> aware. Go for it with all your might, but do not be depressed. It is part of a
> larger thing.

The Year Ahead, by Allison Rae
http://starpriestess.blogspot.com/2010/12/year-ahead.html
December 30, 2010
Life as we knew it is over. For 2011, 2012 and beyond, the game has definitely changed on Earth.
Economies, governments, businesses, education, social systems, the arts, sciences, technology and medicine all look radically different than they did just a few years ago.
Incoming cosmic frequencies are speeding up the changes. This has been going on for awhile now. In 2011, ramped-up evolutionary forces shift into overdrive. The reconfiguration is just beginning.
This week the sun sets on a year we'll never forget, and everyone's wondering what lies ahead.
The ancient and prophetic Mayan calendar is ending. The new year begins with an eclipse series, and four outer planets change signs in 2011. The writing's on the wall. The year is all about change.
Not that recent years haven't rocked our reality. In 2011, the energies are more complex. As the evolution of consciousness accelerates on Earth, we're able to download and integrate increasingly complex cosmic programs that further speed up the process. More and more quickly, we're learning to adapt.
In 2011, we go to the next level of complexity. Planetary energies will be highly focused, yet diffuse. It's a year of doing, and being, as we remember our powers of manifestation and begin to shape the next world age.
Within the grand cosmic drama of the Turning of the Ages, it's showtime.
Predictions about what exactly will happen are pointless. We're here to experience this auspicious moment and write history together.
Through sacred science we can forecast the natural energies the new year will bring. It's up to us to focus the evolutionary forces and craft the future of life on Earth.
The Forecast
(For my complete 2011 Astro Forecast, click here )
Energetically, 2011 will feel much different from 2010. Partly this is due to cosmological phenomena predicted by Mayan, Aztec, Hindu, Egyptian and other ancient timekeeping systems. Partly it's because the large celestial bodies closest to us - the planets of our solar system - will rearrange in ways that facilitate the transmission of specific frequencies to Earth. Another reason 2011 will feel different is that we're getting better at dealing with constant change.
The context of this speeded-up evolutionary process is the great cycle shift known as the Turning of the Ages. This is a rare astrological, astronomical, cosmological, geophysical phenomenon encoded in the sacred calendars of many spiritual traditions on Earth.
Vast cosmic cycles are ending and new cycles beginning over a transition period that lasts decades, perhaps hundreds or even thousands of years. We live in the twilight moment between the old and the new.
As we dive into the celestial waters of 2011, it's important to remember that any single year is part of a continuum of time that is cyclic and ever-expanding in nature. There's no specific day, month or year when everything will change.
Evolutionary energies are reaching a crescendo as we make our way through 2011, 2012 and beyond. There's a rumbling, a stirring of our very life force, as our codes are activated and the excitement builds. We breathe with anticipation and wonder where all the change is leading. Rather than watching passively, we're invited to step into our mastery, roll up our sleeves and contribute to shaping what happens next.
Themes and Highlights
The year 2011 features a complex tapestry made up of multicolored strands of energies. Looking more closely, we notice how the various strands are woven together to create a captivating overall design. Here are some themes and highlights that will emerge from this magical terrain.
I. Cosmic Initiation
Another wave of awakening will sweep the planet as the celestial and Earth energies peak several times during 2011.
The new year begins with two important eclipses that connect us with the creative force of the cosmos via the heart center of the Milky Way.
On December 21, the Sun, Earth and Moon aligned in a total lunar eclipse just hours before the Solstice, opening our hearts and minds to higher truth. In a rare cosmic convergence, the historic lunar event happened during the special period when our Sun aligns each year with the heart of the Milky Way, a galactic alignment related to the Mayan calendar and 2012. To experience the play of shadow and light as the Moon, Earth and Sun danced with the Galactic Core was a moment of pure grace.
The dawn of 2011 continues with a Solar Eclipse on the Capricorn New Moon on January 4. As the new year and a new lunar cycle begin, Jupiter and Uranus will be exactly conjunct in late Pisces. Together they square the Galactic Center, creating another moment of divine initiation, an awakening for humanity and the Earth.
Later in January, Jupiter enters Aries, sign of the warrior. Uranus will follow in March. We witnessed the celestial combustion when these two powerhouse planets met in early Aries during the summer months of 2010 (winter in the southern hemisphere). When Jupiter, the Guru, and Uranus, the Awakener, again journey into the cosmic fire of Aries, sparks of insight, ingenuity and innovation will fly.
As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries is associated with rebirth and new beginnings. In early 2011 both Jupiter and Uranus will complete their zodiacal journey in Pisces and begin a new cycle in Aries. The first degree of the first sign is an ultra-sensitive point in astrology. While Jupiter will zoom through Aries and into Taurus in 2011, Uranus moves more slowly and will hang around the initiation point for most of the year. The unpredictable nature of Uranus promises to surprise us both personally and collectively.
In February, the Universal Underworld of the Mayan Calendar begins, blowing open the walls of human perception and freeing us to experience our cosmic nature as divine co-creators. This initiation lasts through October 28, 2011, and signals another quantum acceleration of consciousness evolution. (Based on the work of Mayan scholar Carl Johan Calleman. See www.calleman.com/content/ppt_slides/slides.ppt )
Through the portal of 2011, an infusion of spiritual light will flood our world. Enlightenment is available to all in this unprecedented moment in cosmic time. As the kundalini fire of the cosmic serpent re-awakens on Earth, we're invited to the dance of creation.
II. Earth in Balance
We'll need the mass doses of Uranian inspiration and ingenuity coming our way, because we've got some enormous challenges to deal with on our home planet. Uranus is the problem-solver in astrology, the renegade, the "think-different" planet.
The Earth herself will be in the spotlight again in 2011. Earth changes will continue, with peaks likely in March through August, and again in late November through the end of the year.
Perhaps the most stirring memory of 2010, for ages to come, will be the Gulf Oil disaster, which began as the Sun crossed into Taurus, and Uranus and Jupiter hovered in late Pisces. The most important planetary configuration of 2010, the Grand Cardinal Cross, formed in the heavens two months later as oil leaked uncontrollably from the sea floor. The cross has formed several times since, and will again in 2011.
Both Chiron and Neptune will enter the water sign Pisces in 2011, and attention will again be focused on the waters of the Earth. In June, Jupiter crosses into Taurus, the first Earth sign of the zodiac, further emphasizing the importance of healing and harmonizing with our life-giving mother.
Today the oil from the spill continues to devastate sensitive ecosystems in the gulf and surrounding areas. Clean-up has barely begun. Beyond the immediate problem of the spill itself lie the long-term environmental issues that came to light as a result of the incident. We need to pay attention to the messages of this disaster. The day-to-day choices we each make have an impact on our environment and the planet's natural resources.
In 2011, Neptune will journey into the watery realms of Pisces, and Jupiter will venture into Taurus, the sign most associated with our Earth mother. Pluto continues his 16-year transit of Capricorn, reminding us, among other things, that governments, corporations, education and other institutions must be more focused on the environment.
Words and awareness are not enough. Workable solutions and widespread, radical change are needed to address the environmental crisis now, before the unthinkable happens again.
III. Revolution
A compelling feature of the great cycle shift is the collection of energy around a central, quantum tipping point. This energy trough exists in the in-between period as one set of cosmic cycles ends and the next set begins. In the cusp or crease period between world ages, we can tap into the quantum field and make enormous changes very quickly. That time is now.
There have been other moments like this in human history, including the Industrial Revolution that mechanized our world and changed life as we knew it. That was back in 1755, which coincided with the beginning of the Planetary Underworld in Calleman's version of the Mayan calendar. The next cycle, called the Galactic Underworld, began in 1999 and ushered in the Information Age. Again, for many, life on Earth would never be the same.
In 2011, as we enter the Universal Underworld, the rate of change accelerates again, to a head-spinning once every 20 days. Changes that used to take a year during the Galactic Underworld (or 20 years during the Planetary Underworld) will take only 20 days. The new phase begins in February 2011.
Not only is the acceleration of consciousness on our side as we attempt to heal our world and change the course of history, planetary titans Uranus and Pluto will weigh in to support the revolution. Astrologically these are powerful, destructive and creative energies, and we'll need to be vigilant in focusing the waves of momentum unleashed through the ongoing square between these two planets.
Pluto in Capricorn facilitates the destruction of institutions, structures and systems, especially at a societal level, that no longer serve our rapid evolution as a species. Uranian energy strikes unexpectedly, like lightning, obliterating the old to make way for the new. Uranian energies also spark flashes of genius that can be focused toward innovative solutions.
We've experienced plenty of destructive energy in our world in recent centuries and decades. While the demolition of the old paradigm will continue in the new year, there's a shift into a more powerfully creative mode that will help us make changes and solve problems quickly, efficiently and proactively. The building of a new paradigm begins as the old falls away.
IV. Individuated Oneness
Uranus is the modern ruler of Aquarius, the sign of the next astrological age. While there's no single date when the 2,000-year Age of Aquarius begins, Uranus' entry into Aries is undoubtedly a significant moment in this transition.
With his layers of meaning, shrewd complexity and belligerent yet effective approach, this is a planet for our times. Uranus is the rebel with a cause. For each of us, cycles of Uranus represent our process of individuation as we seek our unique identity within a vast sea of consciousness. Collectively, Uranus guides our evolution toward a more humanitarian, egalitarian and enlightened society where the needs of the many outweigh the desires of a few.
A vast societal reorganization will be needed to fully realize human evolutionary potential, and Uranus is just the planet to help us make this transition.
On an individual level, the process requires that we each take responsibility for ourselves and commit to fulfilling our divine purpose at this crucial time in Earth's history.
Uranus and his sign, Aquarius, embody unity consciousness, the intrinsic oneness that underlies all of creation, as well as individuated soul expression. The Aquarian Age calls for teamwork, cooperation and collaboration that honors the unique talents and gifts of each individual.
Personal and group intentions will manifest powerfully under the planetary configurations of 2011, especially those that balance the needs of the individual with the good of the collective, and vice versa. Together, we can turn the tide and create a brighter future for all.
Spiritual GPS
The truth of our being is love. As we travel the spiral, each year our hearts open more fully to this vast creative force of the cosmos. We are empowered to fulfill our destiny as souls embodied on Earth.
We can tune in as often as needed to our internal guidance system, the infinite wisdom deep in our hearts. Throughout all the changes, the acceleration and the exhilaration, the peace, the knowing, is in the center.
Access this wisdom in deep communion with the heart center of our galaxy, and the center of the local supergalactic cluster. This connection is especially strong on the Solstices and Equinoxes and during the moments when other planetary configurations line up with these points in deep space.

Collectively, Uranus guides our evolution toward a more humanitarian, egalitarian and enlightened society where the needs of the many outweigh the desires of a few.
A vast societal reorganization will be needed to fully realize human evolutionary potential, and Uranus is just the planet to help us make this transition.
On an individual level, the process requires that we each take responsibility for ourselves and commit to fulfilling our divine purpose at this crucial time in Earth's history.
Uranus and his sign, Aquarius, embody unity consciousness, the intrinsic oneness that underlies all of creation, as well as individuated soul expression. The Aquarian Age calls for teamwork, cooperation and collaboration that honors the unique talents and gifts of each individual.
Personal and group intentions will manifest powerfully under the planetary configurations of 2011, especially those that balance the needs of the individual with the good of the collective, and vice versa. Together, we can turn the tide and create a brighter future for all.
Spiritual GPS
The truth of our being is love. As we travel the spiral, each year our hearts open more fully to this vast creative force of the cosmos. We are empowered to fulfill our destiny as souls embodied on Earth.
We can tune in as often as needed to our internal guidance system, the infinite wisdom deep in our hearts. Throughout all the changes, the acceleration and the exhilaration, the peace, the knowing, is in the center.
Access this wisdom in deep communion with the heart center of our galaxy, and the center of the local supergalactic cluster. This connection is especially strong on the Solstices and Equinoxes and during the moments when other planetary configurations line up with these points in deep space.

Astrology doesn't tell us what's going to happen. It allows us to forecast energetic conditions just as meteorologists forecast the weather. It's a heads-up that helps you to make decisions confidently, in alignment with the soul. Understanding how planetary transits and configurations relate to your personal astrology will help you align more fully with the energetic potential of 2011 and beyond.
Where do you fit in this continuously shifting planetary picture? What's your soul song? How are you contributing to individual and cultural transformation? Is your role changing?
How will you tap into the energies of the new year to create powerfully and benefit humanity and the Earth?
These are big questions. Please join me in prayer and contemplation as we prepare for the greatest leap yet in our lifetime journey through 2012 and beyond.

old world vs. New world, part 13
One of the central energies that has held this world in such...heaviness, is our sense of possession.
The more we try to possess something (or someone) the harder and harder the energy becomes until it is almost inert.
Possession stops the flow of universal energy dead in its tracks. It's why we have a top-heavy world of 'haves" and 'have nots'.
It's why we have a world of fear-based governments and excessive laws and unresponsive politics and unfair economies and so much dis-ease, strife, poverty, violence.
In the New Earth, we will all realize that no one owns anything, that everything is on loan to us as vehicles to rediscover love, and that everything is to be shared, without a sense of who deserves what and how much.
"Yes, but I worked hard for what I have and so why should I share it with others, who haven't worked as hard?"
Because we just bought in to the Great Lie: that we did something all on our own. Without the help of parents and teachers and trash collectors and plumbers and friends and lovers and children and the kingdoms of earth and the Earth herself. Even homeless people and drug dealers have in some way added to the tapestry of all of our lives, whether we wish to acknowledge that fact or not.
There is only one of us here.
The Universe isn't particularly interested in what we've amassed in terms of material stuff, things, objects, homes, bank accounts. The Universe doesn't make judgments based on material things. It doesn't make judgments at all. We do. The Universe is only interested in the creation and flow of love, unimpeded. Period.
So if we'd all like to make the transition into the New Earth as graceful as possible, we all should become much more comfortable with the idea of sharing -- everything -- and letting go of our sense of possession.
And then we will have released the blocked-up Universal flow of Light & Love into all our lives, and then just watch the miracles happen.
Everything we need and desire will be manifested instantly.
For everyone.
