An Angel's Viewpoint

Hurricane Katrina

This is another example of the earth changes that will occur in the world in order to assist humanity in the awakening process. These events are occurring to create opportunities for compassion and an opening of the heart connection for all of the people on earth. Honor and pray for the souls that participated in this process. Approximately one million people have given their lives to this cause. Act with compassion towards the refugees and the grieving, whether that involves giving of your time or financial resources.

The Tsunami in Asia

The tsunami in Asia is one of many earth changes which will occur over the next year. Beginning in 2005 you will experience many changes in weather patterns, climate and unusual storms and events. These are part of the earth's cycle. The souls who left the earth, and there will be close to 1 million deaths, although that number will not be reported, did so voluntarily. Their purpose was to create compassion and understanding, which they did. The outpouring of assistance for these areas was tremendous. At this time, the entire world stands together to help the survivors. Let this continue and become the new paradigm for humanity.

Why is there War instead of Peace?

Some of you wonder, if we have reached such a stage of enlightenment, then why do we still have war, why is there so much chaos? Remember that all things in the world are done by choice and each individual must choose their own spiritual evolution. So for many, the Shift will go unnoticed and they will continue to experience their karma. Each of you evolves at your own rate and you must not judge others' rate of evolution based on your own. As you shift you are able to send more and more light into the world. Each person who walks in the light can decide to choose peace. When enough of you make this choice, war will no longer be a choice. Focus on peace and on spreading light to the world. Be at peace in your own heart. This is the greatest gift that you can offer to others and it will assist in humanity's shift in consciousness more than you can know.

Global Unrest and Overpopulation

There is much confusion in the world today and much social and political unrest. This is causing much fear among humanity. You must remove yourself from the fear and see the situations as what they are, part of the spiritual plan. At this time, humanity has been invited to participate in an unprecedented Shift in consciousness. It is essential that you understand that the Shift in consciousness is one from your third dimensional reality, which is karma-based, to higher dimensions, beginning with the fourth, where karma does not exist. But karma must be experienced and forgiven in order to be fully erased. These incidents are opportunities to heal the karmic hierarchies that have been the center of humanity's existence and indeed, its central purpose in its incarnation on the Earth. That is why there are more people on the planet than there have ever been before, as many souls are incarnating in order to heal their karma, which can only done on the Earth plane.

Sickness and Disease

These are occurring at what appears to be an unprecedented level only because there are so many more people on the Earth at this time in order to participate in the Shift and to heal their karma. Of particular concern is heart disease and there will be many more incidents of 'heart attacks' in the upcoming years. This is because the Shift in consciousness is a movement in your emotional energy center from one of the three lower chakras to the fourth, the heart chakra. Many will be unwilling to shift this energy or will be unable to withstand the intensity of the energy at this heart center. The result will be a 'heart attack.' Cancer is a 'wasting' disease, representative of the fear, negativity, judgment and lack of love that has long been central to the human condition. Removal of these emotions, in the form of unconditional forgiveness, is a source of healing of this condition. There will be a rise in the number of cancer cases in the coming years, as well as other diseases, which appear to highlight areas of the human experience which require forgiveness.

Obesity

On a global level, obesity has become part of the human condition. This problem affects both men and women, but is particularly apparent among women. It is linked to your perception that you are 'less powerful' in spiritual terms which causes you to expand your size in your third dimensional reality. You live in societies whose sole purpose is to control and to keep you in your third dimensional state. Every day you are bombarded with messages that you are 'not enough' or do not 'have enough.' Once you reconnect to your spiritual center and realize that you are an infinite, unlimited emanation of the God Creator, you will not need to increase your presence on the physical plane in order to create a perception of more power.

Global Warming and Pollution

Your physical lifetimes are merely a speck in the flow of Consciousness and therefore you do not have an awareness of the Earth's ecological cycles. You worry about whether the planet will be destroyed through your wars or weapons of mass destruction or its ecology permanently damaged. Understand that the Earth will not allow humanity to destroy her and whatever damage is done to her environment will be healed. The increased interest in the Earth's ecosystems and the peace movements are part of the Shift. Know that these processes are guided by unseen forces on the spiritual and angelic realms and as more of humanity awakens to its spirituality, this type of harmful activity will diminish. What is more important is that the awakening of humanity is creating such an awareness of the Earth's needs that it is greatly accelerating the Shift. So do not be discouraged by what appears to be a battle that cannot be won because the battle is being won on the spiritual realm. The global problem of pollution is a reflection of the pollution within your own lives. Ask yourselves how your own lives are being polluted through your negativity, unforgiveness, judgment and relinquishing of your power. 'As within, so without.' As each individual clears the pollution in their emotional, mental and physical bodies, the Earth's environment will begin to reflect those changes.

Living by Choice

Everything in our life is a result of a choice that we made at some point in time, including our choice to be on the planet at this time. Every aspect of our reality, from the people we chose as our parents and siblings to what we will eat for dinner tonight is a choice. There are no big or small choices, there are no insignificant choices and there are no accidental choices. Whether we choose consciously or unconsciously we are always making choices. While we are often not aware of what we choose, we are aware of the results that we obtain. And we judge the results as good or bad, right or wrong and blame them on many things outside of ourselves, including bad luck, bad timing, other people, but we do not often look at the real source, the choices that we made.

Our choices fall into two categories, conscious and unconscious. Conscious choices consider every aspect that we can think of and then leave an opening for the miraculous to occur. We also have no expectations of our choices because we know that the best possible outcome is what will occur. In this way we are choosing without limitations. Here we also allow the possibility of new and different thinking to occur, where we use the past as a tool to create different outcomes than we have previously experienced. We don’t consider the concept of failure or mistakes but use what we have learned to guide our choices to produce different results. Choosing consciously is the best use of our power.

Until we are aware of our ability to choose and the possibility of choice, we choose unconsciously. At this level we may be unaware that we have choices available to us. This can happen when we are faced with a difficult situation or when we feel powerless. From a powerless position we are unable to see beyond one outcome or one solution so we make a choice based on limited information. And the result is one which limits us in some way or that we later regret.

Who makes choices for us? We can make choices for ourselves but we often allow others to make them for us. We do this by making choices from past beliefs and perceptions, allowing what others have said or done to us to remind us of our past disappointments and failures. Here we are choosing unconsciously, feeling that no matter what we do a situation will not work out to our benefit or will fail in some way. Sometimes we give up, allowing others to do what they want to and then follow their lead. We are generally not even aware that we are giving others the ability to make choices for us. We see the results of these kinds of choices when receive the same result over and over again.

If we don’t realize that we are constantly making choices with every thought we think and word that we say we can wonder what is happening to our reality when things suddenly seem to change or to veer out of control. This is the result of choices we are making and we can control these events by being aware of the power of our words and thoughts. Every word and thought has creative energy attached to it. Until we make the connections between this energy, our choices and the results, we can feel powerless. The key word to remember about choices is responsibility—we are responsible for our reality and for what happens in it. Everything flows from the choices we make, even if we don’t realize that we are making a choice.

The key to making choices that give us the results we want is to understand the concept of being in the present moment. When we are in the present, we are unconcerned with the past and what happened then. The past becomes an event, a snapshot of the result of a choice and we can use that information to make different choices in the present moment. This way we avoid using the results we obtained in the past to create something different in the future. If a choice is presented to us multiple times it is simply an opportunity for us to choose something different.

Are we aware of the many different areas of choices that are available to us? We can choose joy, abundance, love or peace. We can also choose sorrow, lack, fear, powerlessness and discord. What we say and think about ourselves, others and our reality creates choices that we may not be aware of. We know what we have chosen when we experience the results. Whether we see the results as good or bad, harmful or beneficial, remembering that we chose this reminds us that life is a choice and we are always choosing. How do we change our reality? We make different choices, we choose consciously instead of unconsciously, we keep our focus on the present instead of the past and we remember that there is power in everything we think and it all has an effect. Being conscious of our power to make choices and to choose every aspect of our reality allows us to each create the reality of our dreams by consciously choosing exactly what we want and then watching the manifestations occur. When we are aware of this power and the responsibility that is associated with it we can choose powerfully, knowing that we will manifest every moment of our reality from our choices and that whatever results we achieve are our responsibility.
