The Divine Mother and Archangel Michael are giving us more and more details about how the building of Nova Earth and our Ascension will proceed, details that we had no idea of earlier.

In this article I’d like to look at some of the new details we’ve been given.

Jesus through John Smallman told us recently:

“God’s plan is brilliant, beautiful, perfect. Here in the spiritual realms we are in constant delighted amazement as it continues to unfold just as He intends.

“For you on the Earth plane, engrossed in your illusory reality, it is and will remain totally beyond comprehension – in fact, the vast majority of you are unaware that God’s plan even exists. …

“Your guides, mentors, and channels in the spiritual realms have been keeping you up-to-date on the aspects of it that affect you directly. So pay attention, listen to their advice and guidance, take it to heart and act on it.” (1)

Part of the Divine Plan is apparently for us to be bathed in successively more intense energies of love that will lead us to draw together in sacred partnerships as the basic building block of Nova Earth; then in sacred circles; then in projects. The Divine Mother said in last Thursday AHWAA: “The plan has always been one of union and reunion.” (2) I asked:

Steve: Is it your plan both to teach us unitive consciousness and to reconstruct society by first having us reunite with parts of ourselves, and then unite in sacred union, then in sacred circles, and then in projects and so on? Are these the building blocks of the new society?

Divine Mother: Yes. And that is what we have channeled, that is what we have written, that is what I teach, that is what I say. Yes! How do you love the unknown stranger across the planet if you have not known any form of union with yourself and with your beloved?

For some — and I do mean a few — the beloved may be a friend or a child or a parent, but for most of you — and you are seeing this explosion — it is a divine partner. It is your sacred other that you choose and that you finally are seeing and recognizing, because you are seeing and recognizing and accepting and cherishing yourself. …

So yes. It begins small and it continues to expand out. It is really a very simple plan. My plan is for the entire group of humanity to fall in love. And I do not mean in the old way, I mean in the cherishing, the freedom, the liberation, the co-creation. And it begins two by two. (3)

So this drawing together of people is how Nova Earth will be built and Ascension occur. In an earlier program, Archangel Michael said.

“First, the union with yourself, the union with the Divine, and the union with your partner. For some of you, because your personality — we do not wish to destroy delightful personalities! — so, for some of you it is on meet-up sites, or meet-up occasions. But when you feel the urge to go and do something, then do so!

“Do not say, ‘Well, that’s ridiculous. I’ve done this before a million times and nothing ever happened.’ Or do not say, ‘I’ve never done this before. I’m not going to start now.’

“No! Listen to your heart. You are being divinely guided and inspired. You have asked us for the tools. Well, this is one of them.

“Now, there will be many, what you would think of as simply synchronicities and meetings. For those of you who are aware and open to it, that is how it occurs. And it is occurring every single moment, all over your planet. Because you have said ‘Yes’ to love.

“Many times you have said to me, ‘Michael, how will we get 6, 7 billion people to ascend?’ And I say to you, through love, through freedom, and through the desire to travel together. So, yes. Do not avoid each other. Engage as you see fit, and, please, your guides, your guardian angels are working to bring you to your lover. Yes, your lover!” (4)

On another occasion, he explained:

“Yes, this [drawing together] is happening at an unprecedented rate, and it is happening in terms of unions of friendships, of groups, of what we would call partnerships or sacred unions. Even family members are beginning to recognize one another.

“Strangers across the lands, across the continents, are realizing, ‘I need to be working. I need to be talking. I need to be playing. I need to be in a form of relationship with that person, or with that group of people.’

“This is only going to intensify, because you are willing to stand there etherically naked and be seen. Because Earth and many of the illusions of your world — and I use world, not planet — have been perceived as so dangerous, many of you with good common sense remained hidden.

“The time of hiding is over. When we have spoken to you, oh, now for several years, and certainly recently, we have emphasized not only the importance and the readiness but the imperative of stepping forward now. …

“So, yes, this rainbow collective, you are finding each other at the speed of light and the speed of love.” (5)

He said that our sacred partnerships would serve our missions and purposes in being here.

“You are seeing that in the sacred unions that are being formed, that are bringing people together in partnerships that conjoin not only the hearts, complement the minds, the emotional fields, but also intersect on mission and purpose — again, not completely, not totally, but the way that you intended it when you designed your part of the plan in conjunction with us, in conjunction with yourself, with each other.” (6)

Our sacred partnerships and circles will be fun, he assured us.

“We are going to play, we are going to laugh, we are going to work, we are going to cry, and we are going to continue on and create Nova Earth.” (7)

He also told us that more and more people would join lightworkers until the Earth became one family of men and women serving the Light. Here is that conversation:

Archangel Michael: Does the conversation expand organically and naturally? Does the energy go out to the entire planet, those who want to hear and those who don’t want to hear? Yes, it does. But it begins with the lightworker community. That is what we have need of.

Steve: And I suppose then more and more people join the lightworker community?

AAM: Exactly, until it is one family and one path. (8)

The final piece of this puzzle is how the unitive consciousness of Ascension will arise. Unitive consciousness lies within us and is overburdened, corraled and imprisoned by our sense of separation. It isn’t something we achieve; it’s something we uncover. I asked the Divine Mother:

Steve: [I had a vision] and it seemed to show me that the way to unitive consciousness was that love would arise and sweep away separative consciousness. Unitive consciousness was always already there. It was just overburdened with separative consciousness. Am I correct in that?

Divine Mother: Yes, you are. That is the way. Love will sweep you and the planet, and in many ways, dear heart, that is Ascension. Because what it also does is implode greater consciousness. You do not live in the old realm. Is there more? Yes. But yes, that is the way that you move forward. It is the way that you experience.

And it does sweep you away. That is what I mean by the surrender and the bliss. And, make no mistake about it, you do leave your body. And you inhabit your body.

You explode and you feel all the energies of the universe. And then, because you are becoming attuned to that feeling, that ecstasy, it steps down, and then you anchor it within your expanded field.

But each time you do the connection, it expands you more and more and more, and your capacity to love, to create, to do, to be, to connect, more and more and more, until there is no memory, no experience, of separation. It was an illusion. It is a false grid. And it has been the shackles. But it is not real. So, yes. (9)

So both the building of Nova Earth and our Ascension itself are to be achieved by this coming together of concentric circles of union – first spiritual partnerships, then sacred circles, and finally lightworkers united in project to build Nova Earth. The increasingly-intense baptisms of love will build partnerships at broader and broader levels as lightworkers unite to change the way of life on this planet, to sweep away separative consciousness, and to bring about the planetary shift to unitive consciousness that we know as Ascension.

The Manuscript of Survival – Part 370, channeled by Aisha North, November 16, 2013 at http://aishanorth.wordpress.com

As you have perhaps already ascertained, this quickening comes in many shapes and forms, and for some of you, it has been almost overpowering at times. Again, we hasten to remind you all that even if you at times may feel like you are down on your knees, unable to even think about getting up again, you are not being driven further down by these energetic shifts that keep battering you ceaselessly.

No, you are simply being elevated further in vibration with every single blast of these energetic missiles, but still, it might not be as easy to remind yourself of this selfsame truth. For many will be struggling with themselves now, and so it can be hard not to look into the seeming abyss in front of you and think that you are heading ever deeper into it. But this is not an abyss dear ones, no matter how deep you find yourself sinking as these energies keep swatting you around the ears.

For what will seem as an endless quest for retaining your balance, is simply a sure sign of energetic upgrading, and as such, the elevator is indeed going up all the time, even when you feel the surge in your stomach that seems to signal you are in a free fall ever downward.

We say this in order to try to reassure all those amongst you feeling less than sure of themselves, as we know that these last barrages have served to dislodge what may be construed as the last piece of solid ground beneath your feet. For you are merely being lifted up and out of what used to be the lower grounds, for that is not where you belong anymore. But as you have yet to feel any semblance of new ground under your feet, you will find yourself flailing around seeking for something solid to grasp on to.

But remember, there is no such thing at the moment, for everything is in flux, not only within, but also without, and as such, the chaos we have talked about is what you are experiencing in all sorts of ways. Remember, when we spoke of chaos, you all got an image of what this chaos would be, for such is a human brain, it will always search for a known pattern, even in the unknown. And so, you had perhaps already started to prepare for your version of the chaos, but as you have already seen, this is not what you will be getting.

Again, we say expect the unexpected, for if what you get is what you expected, it would hardly be labeled as chaos. So this is what is causing some extra consternation amongst so many now, as you find yourself once again in unknown territory, and before you can start to get the slightest grasp of this new land, you will be whisked away again, to an even more uncharted part of your consciousness. For you are changing so rapidly now, there is no sense in trying to keep abreast in any way.

You must simply let yourself surrender completely to this ever flowing river of chaotic change, forever tipping you this way and then that way, in a seemingly random manner. We say this in order to remind you that there is indeed a carefully laid plan behind all of this, so the outcome is indeed assured, but do not forget that the road that will take you there is not one you will be shown in detail beforehand. For that is indeed the whole point of this process, as you need to be jolted out of the old patterns and ruts that you so vehemently try to follow, no matter how hard you are being pushed to get out of them.

For the old human was reprogrammed in a way that would ensure them staying in the same old rut over and over again, never seeking to venture beyond the borders set up before them. And so, you are still very much prone to keep within those strict limits, even now, when all semblance of limitations have been lifted. So you are in many ways still like a prisoner in your mind, even long after the walls of your cell have been demolished.

Again this is in no way a form of reproach, it is simply a reminder that now you will be asked again and again to go against what has been your very nature for eons, and as such you will be jostled and tumbled, stretched and compressed until you lose any hold of what used to be the old you, and what used to constitute the natural limits for a human being. So you will be subjected to these sudden immersions of energetic deluges, pulling you under when you least expect it, for you need all the help you can get to shake you loose from the old foundations.

For even when you think you have set yourself completely free from them, there is still some little part of you trying to cling on with all that it has. And so, we will do what we can to help you to pry loose that last hold you have on the old illusion, for what you have defined as your reality will not serve you in any way. But as you have been so deeply programmed to stick to it no matter how surreal it seems, you will need a lot of shaking up in order to let you shake yourself free of these constraints once and for all.

So remember, even if you feel as shaken and torn as a rag doll in the arms of vigorous toddler, know that all you experience even if it does feel less than bearable, it is all done with one goal in mind: to set you free for real. Not just a semblance of freedom, where a small portion of you still cling tenaciously to the old. No, you must be as free as a bird, and we do mean that in every sense of the word. For if you insist on maintaining even the minutest hold on the old, it will literally serve to drag you back down when the next huge wave of light arrives in order to lift you even higher up. For this time, surrender will truly be the only way to conquer it all.

Did the Dalai Lama Just Call for an End to Religion?

Well, not exactly—here is what the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism actually told his four million friends on Facebook earlier this (2012) fall:

“All the world’s major religions, with their emphasis on love, compassion, patience, tolerance, and forgiveness can and do promote inner values. But the reality of the world today is that grounding ethics in religion is no longer adequate. This is why I am increasingly convinced that the time has come to find a way of thinking about spirituality and ethics beyond religion altogether.”

It is easy to sympathize with the Dalai Lama’s frustration. After millennia of being preached at by priests and prophets, humanity is still addicted to war; we continue to lay waste to the planet’s fragile ecosystem; we torture animals, repress ethnic minorities, and ignore the plight of the poor.

Worse still, religion has often been in service of the very sins of intolerance that its prophets have railed against. Abortion clinics are bombed to support a “pro-life” agenda; religiously inspired hatred in the Middle East have fueled ongoing war—religiously inspired hatred everywhere have led to countless horrors.

In the past, such moral failings, while contributing to human misery, did not put life itself at risk. But that has changed. Our once-marginal species is now the dominant life form on the planet numbering over seven billion souls. Granted, there are still more microorganisms in a shovelful of prime agricultural soil than human beings on Earth. But bacteria don’t have brains, and the crux of the problem is that we do.

To call the brain a “problem,” of course, is only half of the story. The human mind has created art, science, philosophy, government, education, and the miracles of modern medicine. Religion, with its exalted ethical and spiritual teachings, is another example—whatever Richard Dawkins might say—of our human capacity for creating good.

The New Atheists are right of course when they fault religion for not living up to its own ideals. They would get no argument from the Dalai Lama on this. But His Holiness would be quick to point out that the moral principles themselves are not to blame—it’s our failure to act on them.

The Dalai Lama recommends a radical new approach: a religionless religion, if you will, stripped of myth, superstition, and narrow dogmatism, and focused on the practical work of transforming human behavior. He wants to incorporate the insights of the hard sciences as well as psychology, philosophy, and sociology into a broad-based new discipline to address our current moral crisis.

But can religion be rationalized into a pure system of ethics without losing its (historically) persuasive power?

Some have pointed to Buddhism itself as an example of just such a system. Western practitioners like to think of Buddhism as a methodology for self-cultivation rather than as a religion per se. But Tibetan Buddhism, with its pantheon of deities and arcane practices, certainly looks familiarly religious to those of us brought up on Western religious myths and symbols.

I suspect that His Holiness would agree that these religious elements are not a bad thing. Because religion, for all its faults, seems to have an unrivaled capacity to move us, and to motivate us.

Perhaps that has something to do with stories—we want to know how our private stories fit into the greater cosmic narrative. The Dalai Lama seems to be saying that religion needs to work harder to bridge the gap between the story that it tells and our actions in the world. It is not enough to provide believers with a comforting world view; religion should give people tools to act upon the sacred ideals that it preaches.

The way to accomplish this, according to the Dalai Lama, is spiritual practice. “We are now in the twenty-first century,” writes Tibet’s leading monk.

“The world is also facing a lot of new problems, most of which are man-made. The root cause of these man made problems is the inability of human being to control their agitated minds. How to control such a state of mind is taught by the various religions of this world.”

The Dalai Lama advocates prayer and meditation as an antidote to the mind’s capacity for mischief. But he insists that we need not limit ourselves to traditional spiritual techniques. He has written a book on the convergence of views between Buddhism and science and he helped to organize conferences where religious thinkers meet with scientists to explore their common ground. This is because, in his view, science can help religion to fine tune its own methods. (Neurology has already gone a long way toward validating the reality of spiritual states by documenting, for example, similar changes in regions of the cerebral cortex in Cistercian monks during prayer as it has shown in Buddhist monks during meditation.)

The Dalai Lama believes that the fundamental ethical discoveries of religion are scientifically verifiable. When we actually live religiously—and don’t just profess a set of beliefs—we become more forgiving, peaceful, tolerant, attentive and inspired. This in turn leads to profound psychological and physiological changes which can be studied—and even measured.

It is time, the Dalai Lama says, to take the discoveries of spirituality out of the monasteries and into the world. While mindfulness meditation has been introduced into schools, hospitals, and even corporate boardrooms as a technique to lower stress, improve concentration, and help resolve conflicts, Tibet’s religious leader is acutely aware that none of this is enough. “It is all too evident that our moral thinking simply has not been able to keep pace with such rapid progress in our acquisition of knowledge and power,” the Dalai Lama told a group of scientists in 2005.

The bottom line is that taming the mind creates more peaceful and contented human beings. This is the crux of the Dalai Lama’s message—because, as his urgency suggests, we are running out of time to get it right.
