This article misses its point by far from the very heading; but it is well worth posting as we know better what these phenomena really mean

Y! Big Story: Annular solar eclipse, transit of Venus and other non-doomsday celestial phenomena

Another rare solar event this weekend

As the annular eclipse approaches, watch for this second uncommon celestial event.Blink and you'll miss it

Doomsday, schmoomsday.

Why settle for dusty ol' Mayan calendars and12/12/12 apocalyptic visions, when 2012 has been offering up so many stellar—and planetary—sightings? We Earthlings have already been treated to nice meteor showers as well as a magnificent supermoon, and this weekend brings an annular solar eclipse.

That's not even the best treat: Venus will be ambling between Earth and the sun in a rare (though non-earth-shattering) planetary alignment. Sure, the event might look like a black pimple floating across the face of the sun, but this celestial rarity once guided adventurous astronomers in their quest to determine the size of the solar system and yielded the first-ever global scientific collaboration. Don't blink—Venus doesn't cross our path again until December 2117.

Annular Solar Eclipse, Jan. 4, 2011An annular solar eclipse and that ring of fire: A solar eclipse happens this Sunday, except for the Eastern seaboard (sorry). It's an "annular" eclipse rather than a total one, which means the sun's edges peek out from behind the moon, creating the illusion of a ring of fire. (The word "annular" comes from the Latin word for ring.) The lower 48 states will have to wait until Aug. 17, 2017, for a total shutout. This weekend's eclipse

begins at dawn in southern China. It then sweeps across the Pacific Ocean, passing south of Alaska, and makes landfall on the Pacific coast near the California-Oregon border. It ends near Lubbock, Texas, at sunset. Partial phases of this eclipse will be visible over most of western North America. (May 9, Space.com)

Those of you in the annular path should head to higher ground (avoiding clouds and light pollution) and put solar filters either over your eyes or on your equipment. Thirty-three national parks will be hosting solar gatherings. Lucky Coloradans get to hang out for free at the University of Colorado at Boulder's Folsom stadium, starting 5:30 p.m. local time, thanks to the Fiske Planetarium.

May 2012 solar eclipse times

What kind of solar glasses to get:Designer sunglasses don't cut it. At this late date, check telescope stores or call your local planetarium. No. 14 welder's glass, carried in specialty welding stores, works too. Don't forget solar filters for your camera equipment. Then there's the cardboard method:

The safest and simplest technique is perhaps to watch the eclipse indirectly with the solar projection method. Use your telescope, or one side of your binoculars, to project a magnified image of the sun's disk onto a shaded white piece of cardboard.

The image on the cardboard will be safe to view and photograph. But make sure to cover the telescope's finder scope or the unused half of the binoculars, and don't let anybody look through them. (May 9, Space.com)

If you don't buy binoculars for this weekend, you may want to consider ordering a pair for the transit of Venus.

Transit of Venus, June 8, 2004Measuring the solar system with the transit of Venus: Yes, there's an app. With just the tap of a finger on a screen, people can do in hours what 18th-century scientists needed years to do: measure the solar system. This year's transit of Venus—the second of a pair—begins on the evening of June 5 for North Americans. Our previous glimpse was in June 2004, and before that, back in the 19th century. An explanation of this planetary alignment:

Mercury and Venus are the only planets closer to the Sun than Earth, both moving faster in their orbits and passing us regularly. But rather than crossing directly between us and the Sun, these planets are usually slightly above or below the Sun as we see them. When they line up just right we see the round, black silhouette of the planet slowly crossing the Sun, an even referred to as a "transit." Mercury transits the Sun 13 or 14 times each century. But Venus transits happen in pairs—two transits eight years apart—with more than 100 years between each pair. (Transit of Venus, Astronomers Without Borders)

How to see the transit of Venus: Astronomy Without Borders will stream a webcast fromMount Wilson Observatory. See above about solar glasses.

Measuring the solar system the old-fashioned way: In 1761 and 1769, obsessed stargazers undertook glorious, and sometimes fatal, journeys, in an orchestrated effort that took 45 years to coordinate.

In 1716, British astronomer Edmond Halley had called upon scientists to unite in a project spanning the entire globe. He predicted that on June 6, 1761, Venus would traverse the burning disc of the sun for about six hours.

At a time when it took six days to travel from London to Newcastle, dozens of them travelled to remote outposts of the world to observe the phenomenon, laden with clocks, huge telescopes and other instruments.

Many risked their lives. With the Seven Years' War [1756-63] tearing Europe apart, they were even sent into war zones. (May 12, The Daily Mail)

Most were not swashbuckling men by any measure, but they risked traveling with instruments and rum, barely surviving shipwrecks and warship attacks. In 1761 Venus didn't quite cooperate and messed up the calculations. The second transit—on June 3, 1769—saw more success. Sharing the information took years, but the calculated distance between Earth and the sun wasn't far off the 92,960,000 miles that scientists agree on today.

More to come: Put this on your night calendar or monitor: Sea and Sky. Marshall Space Flight Center astronomer Mitzi Adams recommends the Perseids in August, which always has very bright meteors. "The conjunction of Venus and Saturn in November (27) should be pretty spectacular and complements the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter that occurred in March," she tells Yahoo!

May 20th Solar Eclipse Alignments

Solar Annular Eclipse – 20th May 2012
Global Planetary Alignments with Sacred Sites

http://www.heavenandearthastrology.blogspot.ca/2012/04/may-20th-solar-eclipse-alignments.html

Maximum Eclipse at 23:47 UT/GMT

This Eclipse begins west of Hong Kong, then it passes north of Taiwan and over Tokyo and Mount Fuji. It arcs up just south of the Aleutian Islands, Alaska at Maximum Eclipse (at 23:47 Universal Time = 14:47 AHDT / local time), then makes landfall at the northernmost edge of the San Andreas Fault. It passes over Mount Shasta, then crosses Nevada, Utah and New Mexico, and ends just inside Texas.

Path of May 20th Eclipse, with planetary alignments

Annular Eclipse and Earth’s Energy Grids

This is an Annular Eclipse, which means that the Moon is positioned further away from the Earth than at a Total Eclipse, so it does not completely obscure the Sun, but leaves a ring (annulus) of sunlight visible around the Moon’s dark disk. According to NASA’s Fred Espenak, “annular eclipses have a special charm all their own. During an annular eclipse, sunbeams turn into little rings of light. The best place to see this is on the sun-dappled ground beneath a leafy tree. Hundreds of circular shadows can be found there1.”

It seems that Solar Eclipses have a profound effect on the Earth’s subtle energy grids and ley lines. All powerful events that occur on Earth leave energetic memory imprints in the Earth’s energy grids. These can become amplified and perpetuated by the energy flow through the grids, which is fed by the movements of the Sun, Moon and planets overhead. Powerful negative imprints, such as war, misuse of power or emotional trauma can block or damage the energy flow in a particular region of the planet, causing the energy to become distorted.

Eclipses provides opportunities to release these negative energy imprints and enable new, positive patterns to become encoded into the Earth grids. Hamish Miller, the renowned UK dowser found that, as an Eclipse shadow passes overhead, the Earth’s subtle energy lines power down to almost nothing, becoming indiscernible to dowsing; then as the Sun’s light returns, the grids spring back into life. This is a bit like deleting an old computer programme, loading a new one, and then re-booting the system. Annular Eclipses have a very subtle effect on the energy grids, releasing, transforming and healing the etheric energy ‘blueprint’ that can enable new spiritual archetypes to emerge into collective consciousness.

The Plumed Serpent & the Rainbow Serpent

Author Robert Coon describes two major Earth energy lines, or Dragon lines, encircling the planet from east to west. These are the ‘Plumed Serpent’ or Great Male Dragon line, and the ‘Rainbow Serpent’ or Great Female Dragon line. They are like the two primary acupuncture ‘meridians’ of the global energy system, similar to the two main yang and yin acupuncture meridians in the human body – the Governor Vessel and the Conception Vessel. Everything else in the Earth’s energy grids is fed by these two vast circulating reservoirs of spiritual life-force energies.

The path of the Annular Eclipse on 20th May will intersect the Plumed Serpent – Great Male Dragon line at two locations – Mount Fuji in Japan and Mount Shasta in California. Adak Island is the pivotal point, lying almost exactly midway between these two sacred mountains, and is the nearest land to the point of maximum eclipse.

May 20th Eclipse intersecting the Plumed Serpent – Great Male Dragon line, at Mt. Fuji and Mt. Shasta

Eclipses occur when the Sun and Moon are conjunct the Moon’s North or South Node. South Node eclipses can help us release outmoded patterns, attitudes and archetypes; North Node eclipses enable new patterns and archetypes be seeded within collective consciousness.

Releasing the Past – Seeding the Future

The eclipse on 20th May is a South Node eclipse, which will release the energetic ‘thought-forms’ and patriarchal archetypes of at least the last 5,125¼ years, and probably the last 25,626 years of the Galactic Great Year. The Eclipse will release negative imprints left from the mis-aligned expression of male power in the Pacific Ocean grids, and along the entire length of the Plumed Serpent – Great Male Dragon line, as it encircles the Earth. So, it will affect the consciousness of the whole planet.
In the Pacific Ocean grids, the mis-aligned use of male power expressed itself in some of the most horrendous battles of WWII, particularly in such important energy points as Midway Island, which lies right at the very heart centre of the North Pacific grid; similarly at Iwo Jima and Hawaii itself, with the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The imbalances in the grid were deeply aggravated by the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And of course more recently, due to the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima power plant.

From 1946 to 1958, the United States conducted 67 nuclear tests in the Marshall Islands, a pivotal anchor point in the North Pacific Grid. The total yield of the 67 tests was the equivalent of more than 7,000 Hiroshima bombs! At the Aleutians themselves, in 1969 the United States detonated a one megaton nuclear weapon at Amchitka Island – the small band of protesters who sailed out there to try to prevent this were responsible for birthing the Greenpeace environmental movement.

On a journey, with a small group of people, out to Akutan in the Aleutians in 2005, we became aware of profound levels of grief that were held within these grids. At first it appeared to be grief that resulted from human suffering, but we also had a startling experience of this grief being expressed by the Earth herself through one of the group members. Quite apart from the relatively recent abuses already mentioned, there is also the grief that has been generated by the imposition of patriarchal religious systems on indigenous peoples throughout the Pacific, who had a long tradition and profound understanding of the Earth as a sacred being.

Now it is time for the final healing of that long-held grief within these most crucial of planetary energy grids, so that the planet can begin to truly emerge into the light, after the December 21st Solstice, 2012. As the eclipse releases these old patterns, held within the grids, it will bring the possibility for seeding a new expression of male power that is fully aligned with the heart and the spiritual will, and so enable collective healing at a personal and global level. This marks the beginning of a whole new paradigm of consciousness.

The Pleiades – seeding the new consciousness

The significance of this Eclipse is further enhanced by the exact conjunction of the Sun and Moon with the Pleiades. This well known cluster of stars, above Taurus, has held a significant position in world mythology throughout the Ages. To the Maya, the Pleiades represent the handful of maize seeds from which the original humans were born. These seeds are symbolically re-planted in the Earth at the beginning of each new ‘Sun’ cycle of 5,125¼ years. (Five Sun cycles complete one full precessional cycle of 25,626 years).

While the old patriarchal patterns of the last 5125¼ years are being released by the Eclipse, hidden behind the eclipsing Sun, the Pleiades will be planting the seeds of the new consciousness that will begin to birth the new 5125¼ year cycle, that begins after 21st December 2012, as the Solstice Sun emerges from the centre of the Galactic Equator, which the Maya perceived as the ‘womb of Creation’.

This Eclipse marks the ‘point of no return’ on our journey towards the December Solstice 2012. The more we are each able to release emotional attachments, thoughts and ideologies that hold us back from experiencing full conscious awareness of our connection with the Oneness of all Life, the smoother the transition will be for us. The May Eclipse brings a golden opportunity to create Right Relations in all aspects of our lives and stand fully in the power of who we truly are and what we truly believe.

Govinda: Venus Transit

2012 MAY 19
Posted by Vina

Venus Transit

By Govinda - May 2012

Source: via Elevate page on Facebook

Venus passed between the Earth and our Sun on June 8th, 2004, and initiated an eight-year cycle known as the “Venus Transits”.

The Venus Transits cycle is a rare celestial event that occurs every 113 – 130 years, when Venus eclipses the Sun two times – at the beginning and at the end of an eight-year period.

The second Venus eclipse will occur on June 6th, 2012.

Astrologically, Venus represents our relationships with others. Communication is a major factor in all of our relationships. Whenever Venus eclipsed the Sun in past recorded history, there was a major breakthrough in communications.

For example, at the time of the last Venus eclipse in 1874, the Transatlantic Telegraph Cable was completed that created the first intercontinental communications by wire between the East and the West. In 1761, another year of a Venus eclipse, there was a collaboration of astronomers at 77 observation points from all over the world to determine the distance from Earth to the Sun.

Today, we have expanded global communications for the masses through the Internet and satellite systems. Our ability to communicate with each other worldwide is continually expanding. The questions now become: What are we communicating to our world – love or fear? and, How is our media (the Internet, computer games, the movie industry, cell phones, etc.), affecting society as a whole?

A successful relationship is created through good communication, mutual respect and consideration for one another. This happens best when we recognize and honor the Oneness in all of us. When we are able to do this, we will create peace between each other, our organizations, our governments and countries. A good way to resolve conflicts with others is to recognize how we are the same, not how we are different. This creates a foundation from which we can build a positive, peaceful relationship. For example, when a mother loses a child in war, regardless of her color or faith, the pain is the same. When someone is shown respect and love, the joy is the same. If you realize that you and your perceived enemy both want peace so that suffering may end, then you can begin to talk from a place of mutual understanding, rather than from aggravation.

The Divine Feminine Awakens

Venus eclipsing the Sun represents an awakening of the Divine Feminine energies in our world. For thousands of years, the world has been ruled by patriarchal societies. These masculine rulers have created wars, power struggles, destruction, pollution, fear, pain, separation and famine. They have shown little or no respect for feminine wisdom or our Mother Earth.

The patriarchal organizations of the world have repressed most knowledge of women’s roles in world history. Recently, information has begun to be revealed that recognizes the truth of how women have affected our history. The books, The DiVinci Code, by Dan Brown and The Expected One, by Kathleen McGowan, both reveal the truth about Mary Magdalene and her relationship to Jesus, are good examples of such information. It is time for the pendulum to swing back towards the Divine Feminine and rest comfortably in the middle. To become whole, we need both the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine energies, equally in our lives.

As the Divine Feminine energy interfaces with human consciousness, it awakens and expands compassion within our hearts, and emotional healing can occur for all of Humanity. Compassion awakens the ability to feel and express unconditional love. To be able to love without attachments or expectations is the highest form of love that a human being can express. This kind of love supports the healing of others and our personal evolution/ascension.

One of the keys to accessing Divine Feminine healing energy is through forgiveness.

Only when all is forgiven will total love be available to us. We must forgive others and ourselves for all of the perceived wrongs that have ever been done. We can heal ourselves if we are willing to feel and express all of our emotions, and then to forgive ourselves and others for all that we have perceived as wrong. This process will liberate us from the bondage of our emotional pain.

Forgiveness is the key to releasing ourselves from our past. When we are liberated from our past and live fully in the “now” our true happiness may be realized and our power to create is maximized.

A Question Of Balance

Venus is the planet of love. The world needs creative solutions, feminine guidance and love in order to heal. These energies will continue to increase during this period, in spite of the attempts of the fear tactics of male dominance.

Venus represents the heart and the feminine side of our being.

The Sun represents our individuality and the masculine side of our being. Venus aligning with the Sun is symbolic of our Feminine (Anima) and Masculine (Animus) energies coming into unity and balance. Venus eclipsing (in front of) the Sun symbolizes our need to consider the feminine expression first, before the masculine, and to allow the feminine energies to guide and balance masculine expression.

Creativity Awakens!

Venus also represents the creative and artistic sides of our natures. The Venus Transit will catalyze previously hidden, latent, artistic talent and creative abilities. People who have never expressed an art form before will awaken their hidden talents. Artists will discover new modalities through which they can express themselves more deeply. For example, many people who have never played a musical instrument will suddenly feel a desire to learn and express themselves through music. Some will want to join the local acting clubs, and so on.

Uncovering Secrets In Relationships

Again, communication is a key factor in all of our personal, business and international relationships. This Venus Transit is calling for a deeper honesty in relationships. Since the Venus transit from 2004 – 2012 coincides with the Uranus in Pisces cycle, communications between humans will develop on intuitive levels. The combined energies of these two cycles will catalyze heightened intuitive awareness of our hidden emotions and desires, as well as awareness of our partners’ hidden emotions and desires. Eventually, we will no longer be able to, or need to, hide our true feelings from each other. In time, we will develop total trust and love for each other.

Walking through the Valley of the Shadow of Death

The world needs a higher, altruistic, spiritual love to manifest and prevail over the lower, more selfish emotions. A world where unconditional, spiritual love prevails is our potential as human beings. Conscious and unconscious fear-based emotions are obstacles to this higher love. To discover and express this kind of love, Humanity must first expose and purge the fear-based emotions in our collective consciousness.

From an astrological perspective, Venus represents the emotional energies in our relationships with others. When Venus eclipsed the Sun, it blocked some of the Sun’s light and exposed the dark side of Venus, which represents the shadow side of our emotional natures. This began an eight-year process of uncovering the shadows in our emotional relationships. These shadows are the unresolved, repressed, fear-based psychological energies that unconsciously cause dysfunctionality and unhappiness in our relationships. They cause us to behave in ways that undermine our relationships, block intimacy, and cause breakdowns in communications. Essentially, these shadows block our ability to truly love another person. These repressed emotions usually begin during our early childhoods and/or may be carried over from past lives.

We must take responsibility for how we show up in our relationships with others. It is important to observe our feelings and our behavior with the important people in our lives, and to come to terms with our dysfunctional emotional patterns. It may be helpful and revealing for each of us to ask these questions: “Where am I not able to be truly open, honest and real in my relationships with others?”, “At what point do I shut down emotionally?”, “Where are my boundaries?” and “Are these boundaries healthy or are they blocking my intimacy?”

It is up to each of us to allow intimacy into our heart to expand our relationship with others.

Intimacy can only happen when we allow others to “Into me see.” This develops when we let down our barriers and allow others to see into our hearts. To the best of our abilities, we must be honest with ourselves. We must allow ourselves to be vulnerable and expose our true feelings (even if they are negative emotions) to those whom we are in relationships with. This will endear ourselves to others and deepen our intimacy with them.

Expanding Love

Another result of the Venus Transit is an increase of our capacity to love others more completely, deeply and intensely. This will include heightened feelings of love and appreciation for our partners and other people in our lives. Our emotional natures are melding with our spiritual natures, which is expanding our capacity for unconditional love.

The opposite will also be true.

We will become more clear and sensitive to the truth about all of our relationships. If a person is not in alignment with our higher good, we will become increasingly disillusioned with this person. Our dysfunctional relationships will become increasingly apparent, and we may feel a need to change the structure or boundaries of these relationships. We may need to end some of our relationships that are no longer serving our personal evolution.

What you Appreciate, Appreciates

In our relationships with others, it is good to let them know how much we appreciate their being in our lives. Let’s be thankful for all of the qualities that we enjoy in others and let them know how much we appreciate them. Remember that what we appreciate, appreciates.

The most effective way to accomplish self-understanding and personal mastery is through our relationships. We can monitor our process of personal mastery of our egos by observing our interrelations with others – are we experiencing conditional or unconditional love?

Compassion opens the door to unconditional love. Unconditional love is supported by seeing the Divine in others and acting in integrity with love. Our relationships with others are our greatest gifts, and integrity is vital for each relationship to work. Do unto others what you would have them do unto you. It helps to ask, “What is the highest good for all concerned?” The higher good for all can be perceived in your heart from a feeling of love.

No Man is an Island

We should never underestimate our power to influence the evolution of the world. Each of us is an integral part of the Collective Consciousness of Humanity. When one person evolves spiritually, the Collective Consciousness evolves as well. Whenever even one person increases compassion and opens their heart to unconditional love, he/she raises the vibrational frequency of the World. As the Collective Consciousness evolves, so too shall each individual. A quote from Bette Reese says it all: “If you think you’re too small to be effective, you have never been in bed with a mosquito.”

Integrating Sacred Love

By the time of the second eclipse of the Sun by Venus, on June 6, 2012, Humanity will have evolved to a place of greater readiness for a higher love. Hopefully, after eight years of processing the shadows of our emotions, awakening intuition and developing compassion, we will have cleared the psychological obstacles to unconditional love.

Then, Peace on Earth, and Goodwill towards all people will be possible.

Sacred love expands when the Divine in one person appreciates and honors the Divine in another. Thus, the sacred wheel of love is created and Heaven on Earth will manifest for those individuals. As this happens for everyone, Peace on Earth will become a reality.

Namaste,
Govinda

Sorry friends, I hadn't read this message and only now have I realized how important it is.

Archangel Michael on the Transition’s Impact on Us and World Leaders

2012 MAY 15

Posted by Steve Beckow

Thanks again to Ellen for such a speedy transcript of AAM’s discussion with Geoff West of the Transition, the G8 meeting and NATO summits, Disclosure, the celestial events of the coming two months, and the role of sound in our unfoldment.

Patricia Diane Cota-Robles published an article today in which she says:

“At this time Humanity is receiving the maximum assistance from On High that Cosmic Law will allow. That means that you and I now have the ability to increase the Light we are adding to the world in unprecedented ways. … This is the Cosmic Moment for which we have all been preparing for aeons of time. It is not by chance that your I AM Presence magnetized this information into your sphere of awareness.” (1)

I’m preparing a series on the Transition, or what the Divine Mother called the “Great Awakening.” I have a friend who also had a reading today and has more to add from other archangels on the same topic. It certainly is the topic of the hour.

An Hour with an Angel, May 14, 2012, with Archangel Michael and Geoff West

Graham Dewyea: Hello, and welcome to An Hour with an Angel, with Linda Dillon, the channel for the Council of Love, and Geoffrey West of Greenprint for Life. I’m Graham Dewyea.

Our guest today is Archangel Michael. So with that, I’ll pass it on to you, Geoffrey.

Geoffrey West: Thank you very much, Graham. Greetings and blessings to all. Welcome, Archangel Michael. Thank you for joining us again.

AAM: Welcome. Welcome, Geoffrey, and welcome all. And welcome to this time of conversation, of insight, and of growth. And as we begin this day, I would ask each of you to think and play — yes, play — into the blue flame of truth, to step, to jump, to allow it to ignite within your heart, your mind, and every corner of your being. It is a time for truth; it is a time for growth.

It is the time of Transition — the Transition that we have spoken of with you, a time of Great Awakening, (2) a time of becoming and reclaiming, anchoring your inter-dimensional self, your trans-dimensional self. But it also means, my friends, that you allow. Many of you are in a place where you are striving, where you feel that you are reaching to do the work, to be the love. That is not the way.

Now, I do not say this in any way of criticism. I say it to make your pathway more easy, more gentle, more straightforward. Each of you, every human being, hybrid, Starseed upon the planet, is being penetrated by the essence and the love of One. You are lifting up naturally, buoyantly. It is not something you need to try to do. It is something that you allow.

Now, my beloved ones, that does not mean that you do not set time aside every day for prayer, meditation, ritual, for intention, for still-point, for action, for you are part of this creation, you are part of this shift. So let us begin together by being together within my blue flame. Welcome.

GW: Thank you, Michael. Since you’ve opened the door with your introduction to the Transition, perhaps it’s appropriate that we continue along this theme. And maybe we can start by looking at how the changes will be unfolding at this time.

It seems that the longer we wait the steeper the curve is becoming for awakening. Is this curve going to be too steep? And if so, what kind of help will be available to those of us who may need it? What can people expect to feel? What signs can they look for within their bodies, the symptoms, as it were, as to the changes now proceeding?

AAM: The help that you will receive and that you are receiving is far more enormous than you think, is far more substantial. When I say to you that you are receiving, directly into your core, into your fields, into your physical being the energy of love directly from the heart of One, I would pose the question to you, what greater help can there be?

And yes, the curve of Ascension is very steep at the moment. And as I have said to you, though, you have been climbing and climbing and climbing the hill, and you have been pushing that boulder upwards for a long time — well, might we suggest, perhaps for eons?

Yes, we know for some of you it has been a long life, and in many ways a difficult one, one that has been filled with challenges. But you have reached the top of the hill. And that boulder that you have been pushing is picking up speed going downhill. Stay behind the boulder, not in front of it. You do not want to be run over, my friend. But it is the collective energy that is building, and it is building rapidly.

What kind of changes might you experience? Well, there are physical things that people are experiencing. There are headaches — severe headaches, I might add. And this is also because there are portions of your brain that are being ignited, activated, brought to the forefront, that the human beings have never used before.

Now, they were intended to be used, but they haven’t. So, along with those headaches, you can also expect a great deal of inspiration, a great deal of new thought, new understanding; an expansion of what you feel is your personal field of wisdom; an expansion of what you feel in terms of compassion and understanding of others.

What you feel at the same time is a withdrawal or a release from feeling that you need to do for others. There are far too many of you, and it is particularly true of the light-holders, the light-workers, the love-holders, the love-workers. You often tend to think that you are supposed to assume the burden of others, and of course that has never been the plan, and it is certainly not the path of enlightenment or awareness.

So you are feeling detachment, almost a sense of disconnection, a sense of withdrawal, but at the same time a broadening of your vision [of] how things work and how they fit together, and that you are not solely responsible for the planet and the universe.

Now, within that is a deeper sense of connection at the same time to everything and everybody, including us, our realms, your star brothers and sisters, the animal kingdom, the elemental kingdoms, the physical kingdoms. So, that is deepening.

Other physical maladies that you may be experiencing: there is a return of the cosmic flu, a feeling that you have — that you don’t have the flu but that you are coming down with something. So there is an achy feeling. Many of your joints are hurting. There is a feeling of lethargy or tiredness. And, again, part of this is the attunement to your body, that you are holding so much more energy than you are used to, even though we have been increasing the waves of energy substantially for the last several of your years. But never has it been this strong or this profuse.

So, if you are having aches and pains in your joints, in your legs, in your shoulders, in your necks — there is a great deal of neck discomfort going on as well — know that it is simply energetic attunements. You are also shifting, you know, from your carbon-based bodies to a more crystalline body. And that as well is taking place as parts of your DNA are being activated. So there is a physical component to this.

When you are feeling tired, when you are feeling that you really don’t give a darn whether you do the tasks of the day or not, that you would really like to simply lie on your couch or sit in your chair and stare at the water or the sky, I would encourage you to do so. Because the action that you are taking is allowing the energy to find its perfection, to find the flow within you. It is not about leaving your body, let us be very clear about that. And because of that you are having physical symptoms.

Many of you at this time are doing very deep and significant life reviews. And, again, that is often something that you don’t do — to this extent, anyway — until you have left your body, until you are back with us on this side. So, you are looking not only at the events, the people, the feelings, what you did, what you did not do, and you are examining the patterns, is what we would ask you to observe.

Do not get caught, my beloved friends, in any of the drama as you do this. Do not allow yourself to think, “Oh, when does this end?” This is not about clearing — let me be very clear about that one. This is about integration. So, if you are looking at your life, if you are one of that group, and looking at the patterns and seeing how those patterns align, not misalign, but align with your soul contract, your mission, your purpose, allow yourself that time of reflection, because it is also a gift.

The purpose of these life reviews, my beloved friends, is not for you to think about what you have not done, or how you might have misaligned, it is for you to acknowledge and to see and to remember how much you have done.

There is a great deal of anger and frustration that we are also witnessing coming to the surface of the human beings. And this is coming from those who have not, shall we say, traveled on a straight path. They are feeling disenchanted; they are letting go of the false grip of disillusion, disappointment, despair. So, that anger is simply being let off as a kettle would let off steam.

So, what we would suggest to you is if you are in that position, or if you are working with those who are in that position, again, it is to be in the place of compassion, but it is also to be in the place of standing back, to be the observer. Send them the light and love and simply know that they are being penetrated to such a strong extent that this has to come up.

If there is anything remaining within, it is at the surface right now. It is not going to be at the surface two months from now. We mean in your time, in your reality; it is at the surface right now.

Other issues that you may expect: The feeling of disconnection from reality, of what you have known as third dimensional reality. And it is important — and that is why we continue to say, both through this channel and through every single time we speak to you — is that it is vitally important that during this time of change and transition, of shift, of Ascension, that you are anchored firmly in the heart of Gaia.

You cannot do this too deeply or too often. It is keeping your feet firmly on the ground. Activate the golden magnets my beloved sister Gabriel has given you so that your feet are magnetized to the Earth, that you are firmly and completely grounded. Because as you are traveling inter-dimensionally, as you are beginning to have more clearly the inter-dimensional experiences, there are feelings that you will feel — disembodied, floatey, disconnected, and out of time and space, dislocated in time and space. So, you are adjusting to that feeling.

And one of the ways in which we would recommend to you, our beloved friend, to do this and to practice with this, is go into your heart, go into meditation as deep and as quietly, as peacefully as you may, and I would suggest that if you call upon the blue flame, or of course your tri-flame, that this will help anchor within it.

And then direct yourself from this place of connection and say, “Now I am going to go and I am going to experience the fifth, the sixth, the seventh, the eighth, the ninth dimension.” And then send yourself, feel as if your body — not simply your astral body but your body — your experience within the very room, the very chair that you are sitting, has shifted into that reality.

It is not that you are going on a trip somewhere or it is somewhere distant to shift dimensions, that is not it at all. It is exactly where you are. So, go into that dimension and simply sit and experience the qualities and enjoy the beings you meet there. Decide how you like it, what you wish to take from that dimensional reality as well, and to anchor it within your heart, your being, and your body.

Then, when you come back into your body, when you say, “Okay, now I am going to go back and I am going to anchor into the third dimension and reality,” the sense is, again, like a reaching down, not a pulling back. Come like a feather, floating on the wind, gently, into that reality that you wish to occupy, and then rest. The rest and re-anchoring in Gaia, and of course the expression always of thanksgiving, of gratitude, is mightily appreciated.

Does this give you some sense of what you need to know?

GW: Yes, it does Michael. Thank you very much. I can certainly resonate with much of what you have shared. I’ve been feeling the pressures in my head, in my neck; I have been going through a review of sorts of things that happened even 20 years ago in my life, and I was kind of wondering why they were coming up so intensely at this time, because I haven’t really thought much about them over this time. So the disorientation — yes, I can resonate with all of that.

AAM: And understand the other thing that you experience is that this energy that is coming to you from our perspective, it is like a laser beam that is beaming directly from the infinite, the Source, the One, into your being. The portal that it travels through is your heart chakra, but it is diffusing throughout your entire being. It is important, especially in terms of the headaches and the neckaches, to keep your crown chakra wide open.

But how you are experiencing it in the human realm more like waves. So the translation factor — we send it as laser beams, but it comes to you as waves. Think of the ocean, the middle of the ocean, with great troughs and wonderful, rolling waves. It is not a storm at sea, but it is the power of the ocean; it is the power of Mare, (3) for that matter. So, there are times when you will feel exceptionally high, energetic; that you can write, broadcast, take on the world, and that is wondrous.

And then, when you are feeling that way, when you are feeling the inspiration, then go for it and do what you can do. But when you come into the trough — which is the time of integration, of anchoring what you have just been given, of bringing it more deeply within the core of your being, because what you are doing is keeping this in physicality — it is different than simply ascending out of your body.

When you are in the trough you may feel as if it is, again, a cosmic depression. But, my beloved friends, do not think that is really what it is. Look at it and say, “Oh, no, that is not it. I am simply in the trough, and this is the integration, so I feel a lower energy.” And that is where much of your reflection is also taking place. It is taking place in the place of the trough. So you are integrating.

So do not try and rush out of it. Do not try and push your way up to the top of the next wave. Allow the rhythm. It is being given to you exactly, and in perfect measure, to each one of you, how you can handle it.

So there is not two of you that experience this exactly the same. It is as unique and bright and beautiful as you are. Yes, there are similarities of all these symptoms that we have talked about, all these conditions. But do not rush it. Allow it. What you are doing, sweet angels of light, you are allowing us to do our job. And so, for this, we thank you.

GW: Thank you, Michael.


Geoff’s question about frequencies and vibrations has been moved to the bottom of the interview to preserve the flow of information on the Transition.


AAM: Our messages are not hard. But you are there. You, you, my beloved friends — yes, producers, broadcasters, interviewers, channels, and every single listener — you are here on Earth because of your strength, your light. Do not deny how strong and mighty you are.

We know there are times of difficulty, but that is why, to go back to your original question, the time of ease is upon you. Allow it to embrace you. Please. That is the Transition. Think of it as the release of struggle and the embrace of ease. To move inter-dimensionally, to create inter-dimensionally, to be the fullness of who you are.

GW: It may be appropriate now to make a transition into some of the current events. I understand that you would like to address a few of the current events unfolding, and as we certainly have talked about frequencies and bringing ourselves into alignment, we can perhaps get a chance to practice that alignment as we address some of the current events unfolding.

I understand that you would like to mention a few things about the G8 meeting and NATO summit.

AAM: Let us go back to talking about the Transition, and then we talk about it now in terms of current events.

Now, think of it: think of it, my beloved friends: everybody, all your world leaders are being penetrated with this universal core love that can penetrate anything. It is the energy from the heart and source of One. It is the creative force of the universe. It changes how world leaders think, how they feel, how they approach issues, how they represent the honor that they represent people.

It is a shift away from trying to control and yield, or wield — because it is either/or in that duality — power, shifting to an understanding of cooperation. Now, you look at many of your situations, and let us look for a moment even at the economics of many countries that are failing — their financial systems have been proving that they need recalibration, that they do not work. And there are beings that are withdrawing, say, from the EEC.

But that is a movement forward, because what it is doing, it is creating the reconstruction, the realignment with ways that work for countries, for people. Because we are not talking any longer simply about power structures. That is of the old. That is of the old third dimension. And you have an expression on your Earth about no one saying that the emperor has no clothes. But what I suggest to you, the emperor died, and no one has been saying it.

But now what is coming forth is a willingness, because of the new shift, the paradigm shift, the consciousness-heart shift. In these meetings, what you are going to see — and I am not simply talking about an air of cooperation; I am not simply talking about a mood, a new mood of cooperation; I am talking about concrete actions beginning to flow, decisions that are inter-dependent, cooperative ventures to begin to shift monetary systems, financial systems, social systems, intergalactic and galactic systems.

What is happening is what you have been asking and praying for, and knowing within your very core. Your planet is becoming kinder. And the reflection of that kindness, of that understanding of unity, [is] that there is no such thing as isolation or separation — that is a fool’s dream. They are coming to understand the need to create together. This is a milestone.

And yes, when I have said to you, “Look at this boulder picking up speed going downhill,” it is running over all the false illusions that have existed. And what is happening is concrete agreements, structures, institutions will be shifting dramatically, because the pulse, the wave behind the creation is, “Let us do something that works rather than simply maintains existing power structures and control.”

The people, the leaders, the bureaucrats, the military — they are all changing. See it. See the new softness emerging and reinforce it, support it. Oh, there will be some — there are always some ’til the very last moment — who will try to maintain that wielding and, when necessary, yielding of power, but that is not the majority.

What has happened is that the majority — and this is what you think of sometimes as your tipping point, or how will we reach these billions of people in time? — they are already being reached. They are already saying, “We want a different way. We need to create a different way.”

And what you are witnessing and what you are seeing is the backlash when those who are still in the old paradigm of trying to control and maintain the old power structure…. What is happening is that the grassroots, as you would think of it, the people, the bright souls, the brave ones who have come to Earth to do this work, when that is happening, they are saying, “No!” And they are not saying no in a nasty, angry voice; they are simply saying no, this is not acceptable; this cannot be permitted to continue.

The collective of humanity is learning — including your leaders, at these meetings — are learning two very important things that you, dear friends, already know, but I say it for the many. It is the power of no, and it is also the power of yes. It is saying, “Yes, this is what we choose to create. We choose to live and build and be nova beings on Nova Earth.”

So, be a very astute observer, not only of the G8 and the NATO summit, but of the many, what we would call, world strategy meetings. And in this, look for an acceptance…. And yes, we have heard you say, “There will not be any acknowledgment of star presence before an American election.” We have heard millions of you say this. And what we say to you, my beloved ones, is you are wrong. That is incorrect thinking. So, please erase it and say yes to Disclosure right now. Because you do not want to be part of the masses that are saying, “Oh, no, that cannot happen right now.” Of course it can, and we suggest to you it will. It is part of the opening. It is part of the Transition. It is inclusion, not exclusion.

Our partnership with these leaders is finally being welcomed. Oh, there are many that have spoken of being religious or God-fearing. These are very strange concepts, are they not? Why would you fear? Why would you fear infinite love? Now, the leaders are saying no. I welcome this input of love. Can you imagine how this is creating change? That is why I wanted to speak of these current events, because I want you — so many of you have said, “Show me the signs. Show me what will encourage me so that I will know that the work that we are doing is bearing fruit.”

Well, this is one way for you to see and to know that you are indeed bearing fruit. And it is not just you, it is all of us. Do you think we do not look for the shifts and the acceptance from the human collective as well? Of course we do. Because we cannot and will not override your free will. But finally, you are all saying yes, not all in the same way, but you are saying yes.

GW: Great. Now, thank you very much, Michael. It would be wonderful to continue along this vein, although we’re starting to run a bit short in time. And I would like to address two celestial events that are coming up as they affect the energies that are coming to the planet — an important solar eclipse on May 20th, and a transit of Venus across the Sun on June 5th and 6th. What energetically is taking place at this time, and what might we expect after this?

AAM: These are alignments that create a higher, a more intense electrical field. I am giving you a technical explanation. So, when there are these convergences, whether it is a convergence or an eclipse, what happens is the energy in the very air, in the atmosphere, in this sphere far beyond your atmosphere, becomes more electrically charged.

When that occurs, the energy flows more rapidly and more freely. Now, for some of you, it may flow so rapidly and so freely that you feel like you have your finger in a light socket. So, be sure that you are grounded. Throw your grounding cord down, place your feet upon the Gaia. But that is what occurs, is that the energy becomes super-charged.

And so, it is a chance to accomplish even more in a very brief period of time. If you think of the energy in the lower dimensions, for lack of a better way to explain this, as magnetic, in the higher dimensions it is very electric. They converge in the seventh. That is the place, the still-point of creation, in many instances seven and eight. So, what happens is that energy is flowing very rapidly down to you, whether it is in the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and you are able to incorporate and hold even more higher vibration, which is the way we have been explaining it — a clearer frequency.

We have talked about higher frequencies [that section has been moved to the bottom of the page], but we also wish to mention and to emphasize clearer frequencies — more rapid oscillation, clearer frequency, so that you are like a tuning fork, a crystal ball, and that you can be that clear resonance, that clear bell.

And the point in all of this is not destruction. And I would suggest to you, do not listen to those who speak about destruction. This is a time of construction. Yes, there is destruction of the old ways, but it is not a time of upheaval, of chaos. It is a time of growing peace, in every sense of the word. That is why you hear such joy in my voice. It is good news, and it is good news that we have waited for a long time.

So, be the clear frequency, and receive with wide open arms. And if you feel it is too intense, then lie down. Do not try or ask to turn it down, because that is not going to happen. We are not going to slow down at this point. We will help you manage it. Simply ask. But we are not going to turn it down.

GW: For those who do not follow celestial events particularly, although they certainly will be feeling the energetic changes, is there a way of explaining the difference between each of theses events, and what they will bring up in people?

AAM: Yes. The eclipse will bring about feelings of the darkness being shed within you, the darkness that you have felt on the planet being shed. And sometimes that has need to happen. And it also can allow you to release that shadow part that so many of you can keep hidden. So, that is more of a collective feeling. When you have the transit, and particularly of Venus, it is an expansion of your ability to love, to experience love, to feel that you are love and that you can join in love.

So, these are very different experiences. Even though the increase in frequency is electrical, the experience is different. Thank you for bringing that up.

GW: That’s wonderful. Thank you, Michael


Geoff’s question on frequencies and vibrations is relocated here.


GW: I found it very interesting that you used two terms in that last answer, the terms “rhythm” and “measure,” which very conveniently opens the door to the next series of questions that I had been wanting to go with you. And there seems to be some disagreement in terms of the terms of “raising frequency,” or “raising vibration.”

I’ve been doing some research about how music has been corrupted and changed to a disharmonious frequency of the key of A, 440 hertz. There has been information coming out to try to encourage people to record music in 432 hertz and 528 hertz. 432 hertz is not considered one of the Solfeggio tones, but it is claimed to be the universal frequency. Many believe 528 hertz to be the frequency of love.

Can you tell us a bit about these frequencies, these two frequencies in particular, and are they beneficial?

AAM: They are very, very beneficial. And again, sound is very healing. And you know this if you are listening to anything that is written from a place of love.

Now, what happened with a great deal of what you think of as human music is that it became very much a reflection of the false illusions and paradigms and structures of your world, of your society. But even in that, the truth and the information of sound, and the power of sound, was never lost. And now it is re-emerging at a much clearer tone, a much clearer frequency.

And so, yes, which do you wish to discuss first?

GW: Well, perhaps this is where some of the confusion lies, because — musicians will certainly be much more knowledgeable to this than I am — some have said that the key of A in 432 hertz is equal to the key of C at 528 hertz, but others have said the key of C at 528 hertz is A at 444 hertz. And I can appreciate that the listeners must be confused as I say that because I feel confused about it. So maybe…

AAM: 444.

GW: So the key of C at 528 hertz is the key of A at 444 hertz?

AAM: That is correct.

GW: Okay. So which — in terms of how music — I mean, music, currently, the international standard of 440 is a very discordant frequency.

AAM: It is not as far off as people think, but it is not doing anything to help — or let me say, very rarely does it do anything to help — at 440. And the reason being is that it does not have … If you think of your heart and your being as a tuning fork, then one of the things that happens is that that tuning fork is not sympatico, it does not receive well at that vibration, at that level.

Now, it would be ridiculous to say that all music is discordant, because that is simply not so. Because very often what has happened, regardless of how many hertz the piece has been recorded at, is that the piece, and everybody within the piece — the singer, the operators, the recording studio, whatever you are working with — have infused love into their work. And when that happens, you see it, you feel it, and it does touch you.

So, is it the perfect match for you? No. But does it penetrate you? Yes. And that is why sometimes when you hear certain tones or music or pieces of lyrics, that they will absolutely — you must turn off the radio, or turn the station or whatever it is you are doing because it is not a frequency that is in accordance [in measuring?], that is going to enhance your own movement to a higher octave.

Now that I have thoroughly confused everybody who is listening…

GW: So, just — well, I will offer perhaps an explanation for our listeners in a moment, but perhaps just to quickly clarify: 432 hertz then is considered a universal frequency?

AAM: Yes, that is correct.

GW: Okay. So for the benefit of our listeners, I’d like to offer an example before I step into the next question. If you imagine that you’re holding a pendulum in your hand, and you swing your wrist slowly back and forth, the pendulum will begin to match that movement, and it will create a harmonious or concordant action.

From what I understand up to this point, that means the oscillation rate apparently rises. However, if you start to move your wrist back and forth really quickly, the pendulum is not able to keep up. And this causes what I understand to be a disharmonious or discordant oscillation, and there is no longer resonance.

Am I on the right track with that?

AAM: That is a very good example, and that is a very good way to explain it. And what happens is that your pendulum will start to jump, and it will not be a pleasant experience for anybody. And so yes — and you know this, because you understand when you hear pieces of music that touch you and pieces of music that don’t.

One of the new next steps and one of the things that is always used by your brothers and sisters of the stars in their healing ships is sound. And the sound is inside the light, and the light is inside the sound. And so what you are doing and beginning to understand is that you are becoming more harmonious with the sounds not only of music, but of your own being and of your own planet and of your own community.

One of the things that I would encourage each of you to do and to take time in meditation to do is to find your sound. (4) You are very busy listening to the externals, for even I come to you on a frequency of sound through this channel, but this is not truly the sound of my voice. No, I appreciate using her voice box, her vocal cords, but it is not the sound of my voice, it is the energy of my voice.

And what I would ask each of you to do is to take time to let your sound come forth, that you come to know more deeply, more truly, more fully what your sound signature is, the same way you think of yourself as a light signature, as a ray signature. And then, when you have done this, when you have discovered and delighted in what your tone and sound is, what your song of your soul is, then you are also going to be more connected and drawn to the pieces of music, the sounds themselves, the frequencies, — the hertz, as you call them — that are harmonious to you, that add to your field, that complement your field rather than bombard it.

GW: So, for the purposes of understanding, then, for the light-working community, we have been giving messages about how important it is to raise our frequency or raise our vibration. So, in the example that I previously gave, is it perhaps appropriate more to be talking about the necessity to lower our frequency vibration in order to raise the oscillation rate within our bodies that connects us more to the universal vibration?

AAM: If you are speaking in technicalities, which is what you are doing, that is a very correct analysis. But one of the things that we wish to do for the entire human race, who have not all begun to listen to these messages — but they will — is to keep this very simple and straightforward. So, that is why we have spoken of raising frequencies, because people understand this language. So, we keep it as simple as we can, but technically what you are saying is accurate.And it is attuning your body that you are in harmony with love frequencies, with universal frequencies, with the sound of One.

So, rather than having — and this also has to do with what we have said, is that the energy that you experience comes to you as waves the same way sound comes to you as waves. And what that does is that when you are in harmony, when you have attuned your body like that tuning fork we have mentioned, is that that energy moves very smoothly into you, through you, around you, and it is a harmonious symphony. Whereas when you are, if we can say, out of tune, it fits you, yes, again, as a wave, but in many ways it is like a wave hitting a break wall. And there is a discordant feeling. That is why some are feeling angry or out of sorts.

So, what is happening is that break wall is being broken down. And to use the analogy that you are using, it is being broken down by sound waves. So yes, it is important for all of humanity to begin to pay more attention to sound. And this is even true very simply in the human voice. For example, your voice, dear Geoffrey, is very melodious; it is harmonious, it is welcoming, it is open, it is loving.

GW: Thank you.

AAM: But you know that when you hear someone’s voice, and it is the voice of anger, or it is the voice of harshness — and that is not welcoming at all, and everybody, even those who are angry themselves, do not like to hear that tone of voice, that vibration; it is something that makes you turn away — that is why even when the guardian angels or we or any or our realm experience any human being’s anger — because it is the human beings that are angry, it is not your star brothers and sisters or other universes — when you turn to us in anger and you, oh, express yourself, let us put it that way, and you speak in angry tones, “Why has this not happened, or that not happened?” or “Why am I experiencing such and such?” never do we respond in similar tones.

Always, always we will respond in gentle, kind, loving ways. And in so doing, we bring you back to that place of harmony. We do not try to ignore or deny your anger. It is very apparent and we are aware of it before and even more than you are. But we will never match that tone.

Even my most plain-speaking sister Gabrielle, who speaks strongly often, will never speak harshly. And if there is any being, any channeled being or any being that speaks to your heart or your mind, who comes in harshness, who tries to bully or control, take my sword and use my shield and demand that they leave and cease at once.

Love is never harsh…

GW: Thank you, Michael. That is great information.

[music up]

AAM: Dear friend, and all my friends, you are welcome. Go with my peace. Farewell.

GW: Farewell and blessings. Thank you for listening to An Hour with an Angel. Until next week. May you find your alignments, your resonance, and be uplifted in knowing that everything is in divine order. Blessed be.

Bringing Garden Fresh into Food Banks









When people think of food banks, they often think of non-perishable food drives. Stacks of boxed mac and cheese, tons of canned foods, big bags of pasta and rice. Those foods certainly do fill bellies, which is good, but some organizations are stepping up their efforts to ensure more balanced nutrition and fresh foods for food insecure families. By thinking outside the box and engaging with local communities, schools, and farmers, these amazing programs are revolutionizing the food bank system.
  • In Toronto, the Second Harvest food bank is the main provider of fresh food to people in need in that city. Working with local food retailers, manufacturers, restaurants and caterers, they collect and distribute over 6 million pounds of fresh food over the course of a year. In addition to giving fresh food to families, bagged lunches for children, and meals for seniors and people with special dietary needs, they also help to reduce pollution by diverting excess food from landfills (resulting in reduction of over 3 million pounds of greenhouse gases each year).
  • Heritage Academy, an Ottawa school for students with learning disabilities, is running a potato project, using reused olive barrels to grow potatoes vertically. By the end of the growing season, each barrel should yield around 40 pounds of potatoes. This project adds to the arsenal of school gardening projects at Heritage Academy, which started seven years ago when a grade 8 student asked how to grow pickles. In a blog post, the school wrote about the garden revolution that is happening in schools and explained how its program grew from that one pickle patch to eight organic vegetable beds and the potato project.

These amazing, sustainable and nutritious ways to fight hunger while also educating people about food sources, are excellent examples of the food revolution. Does your community have initiatives that combine volunteerism and learning to bring fresh food to hungry families?
