The Ascension

[Nameless]

November 30, 2012

I am in my vortex, and am feeling the powerful joy in that,and I want to channel about the new energies that are a part of the lining up of the planets that Shen was speaking about yesterday. That felt so good and I wish I had recorded it, but since I didn’t, I would like to channel Shen and see if I can do that, since I haven’t tried that before, and see if he would like to give me amessage about the ascension.

Who am I speaking to? Shen. Good morning Shen.

Okay. So I was speaking about the energies and doorways. How what is happening is like an open doorway and if you choose, you can step through the doorway into this new energy and things will be easier to manifest, they will feel better, the planets in their alignment at this time of history, are lining up in such a manner that new worlds are being created from the energies of that and new energies are being created from the energies of that and this new energy is a loving one, it is around you now and has been for quite a while. It has been shaking upthe planet, in more ways than one, but one of the benefits of the shaking is getting rid of the unwanted, so that you can explore the wanted. Getting shaken up is quite difficult and we want to share with you that that part of the energy is coming to an end as the seasons change, and you are coming into a place of winter and as winter approaches life is slowing down, as the seasons change you change with them. You are all animals still, in the sense that you are connected to the earth’s energies and the natural flow ofthe energies and so when the seasons change, you change with them and you are becoming more aware that this is happening as maybe you were not aware of it in quite that way before. Since you don’tlive outside anymore, you have lost the sense of the awareness of the way that the seasons change your thinking, change the way to relate to the world and yourselves, and so that part of you is waking up again and becoming more connected as you connect to the seasons, with winter approaching and you becoming more aware of the changing season, your energies are slowing down and bit, you are gathering your energy for the winter so to speak. Like the squirrels are gathering their nuts for the winter, you are also coming into a period of time where you are gathering your nuts for the winter, making your plans a bit differently as the weather changes, knowing that you will be spending time inside more and more and out of the elements. This is a natural cycle, but it is powerful for you in a way that you are slowing down your activities a bit, and more able to sense that which is on the way, that open doorway that I spoke of yesterday. The lining up of the planets, the ascensionas you call it, is bringing this doorway to you. And that is all it really is. When you step through this doorway, it will just be easier for you to manage your new life, having shaken off some of the old energies that you were stuck in, and looking forward to the new energies that will be available to you.

This new energy will be full of opportunity and expansion and everyone will feel so much better than they have been feeling, the time of struggle will be lessened and the time of awakening and new ideas and opportunitiesis arriving and it will really be a new day. The ascension as such is a time span of about two weeks, it is really not a particular day. So if, on 12/21/12, you are working all day and you come home and nothing seemed to have changed, don’t be surprised. This will be available starting around the 16th and going through the end ofthe year, so if you “miss” it on the 21st, it is no big deal, it will still be there. Nothing bad isgoing to happen. It is an energetic thing and an open doorway. And it is about choices and what you choose. If you choose to step through the doorway and into the new energies, there will be much that you will gain In the way of moving with energy and molding it and shaping your lives deliberately in a different fashion than you have in the past. If you choose not to step through the doorway into the new energies, that is okay too. There is nothing to do, nothing to prepare, there is not work anyone has to do. You make this decision at a soul level, and you really will not even be conscious you are making a choice and there are no dire consequences of any of that. Your soul chooses for you and you will just notice a slight shifting of energy as the new energies are awakened in you. You can feel these shifts, you have had a lot of shifting this morning as you were channeling earlier, so that is what I am speaking about. As you become aware that your energy is shifting, it feels good, doesn’t it? There is nothing to fear about it, it is just an opening up of a different way of being conscious. Humanity is evolving into a new phase, and that is what the ascension is. Evolution of the species, evolution of the planet, it is a shift that is happening, and as human beings, you will be evolving in new ways. Be joyful about it, it is a good thing. The shaking was a byproduct of getting rid of things unwanted and dealing with emotional issues that were holding you back so that you would be prepared for the new challenges and opportunities that will be in front of you as you walk outside in the new world of energy possibilities. It is exciting and we want you to feel the excitement of it. There is nothing to fear, it is all good. We know how hard it has been for humanity to go through this shift, but you are growing forward in your momentum and you are able now to shift with the new you that is you, instead of the old you that wasn’t able to access these new energies. It is worldwide, and has been, so that is what everyone has been going through.

You are all creatures of the earth, and as the earth is shifting her energies as well, you are becoming more aware of your part of being on this planet. You all need mother earth and she needs you and you are all a part of each other and when you come into this realization that you are connected to the earth in ways you had never thought of before, this helps her energies as well. Really there is nothing to do, just sit back and enjoy the shifting that is happening, enjoy leaving behind things that did not serve you anymore, look forward to being able to mold your individual worlds in a much more satisfactory fashion. Look forward to the new that is happening, and leave the old behind. The shaking is mostly done and as you come into the winter of this season you can relax about it all and just have a time of slowing down.

Enjoy yourday.

Thank you so much, Shen.

I don't think anything new is going to happen on 12/21/12. Seems this whole ascension thing is a hoax.

The Mayans ended their calender because it marked the end of an age, and the beginning of another. Things are not going to get any better....every vision, every intuitive piece of information I have received has shown me that things are going to get much, much worse.

No one is going to miss the train, the world is not going to transition into another dimension...the beings that I have contact with have called the impending age, the Age of Entitlement. People will become more self-centered, more deluded, more angry, less interested in their neighbors....if we can transcend this period (said to last 3 generations or more) humanity has a chance to turn the corner, and perhaps in the future, things will change.

I'm not sure why this concept keeps sucking people in, but I suppose to each his own.

For example:

2012 and the Ascension of Mankind (New Age)

According to many New Age practitioners, the Ascension of Mankind (also called the Second Coming of the Christ (1)) will happen in 2012. One tenet in the New Age belief system is that humanity is evolving to an endpoint of union with God. At this time, the Christ energy will come and renew the people, who have prepared for the Ascension. These people then will vibrate at higher levels until they achieve “beingness” at least five dimensions. Then everyone will merge with the Godhead. Those who do not ascend will perish, since the Earth will also be transformed by the Christ energy as well.

Some Basic New Age Beliefs

One tenet of the New Age belief system is that the Ascended Masters (beings who have merged with the Godhead) will help those who have not. They do this by channeling messages through various people. The Ascended Master chooses a person or persons to deliver their teachings. This person may be used for a number of years. Also, one person may channel several beings at the same time.

Another tenet is that spiritual experiences need not be verified by education or research. Reliance on gut feelings is how the certainty and truth of a channeling is determined. For example, Barbara Hand Clow in her book, “The Mayan Code” writes: “(Carl Johan) Calleman’s Thirteen Heavens of the Mammalian Underworld actually do describe how the evolutionary force expresses itself in nature.” “My consideration of Calleman’s hypothesis of biological evolution and the Mayan Calendar is the central theme of this book; since I am convinced he has discovered the real meaning of the Calendar.” (2) (Calleman believes that the Mayan Calendar demonstrates the exact divine time plan to the Ascension.)

Veracity of Channelings

Many religions have methods to test promptings from the Spirit or Spirits. One problem that they address is who are these beings. Are they aliens, demons, angels, or something else? Also how is mental illness defined? How are hearing voices not to be considered a form of insanity? Does the message run counter to accepted religious practices?

For New Age believers, testing each channeled message is incumbent on the channeler. Barbara Marciniak, who channels Pleiadians, writes, “I might add that I insist on a strong integrity level with the concepts I release to the general public; they are first tested in my own life and that of my students.”(3) Virgil Armstrong (4), who channels the extraterrestrial Guardian Forces, writes, “Even when I first heard of the Photon Belt, I was inclined, through ignorance, to give it little credence. In fact, my first reaction, ‘the Wu-Wus’ (New Age believers) are at it again. They have invented a new wrinkle to make more money.” This was almost a colossal mistake on my part, but Spirit had its way and notified me that it was real.”(5)

In these examples, the final arbitrator is the channeler and the certainty of their feelings. The channelings are true unless proven otherwise. Moreover, the question what the entity is seems not to be addressed, but is taken on face value on who they say they are. In fact, Marciniak states that she does not who the Pleiadians she channels are.

The Ascension Process

How do people attain this union with the Godhead? Their Lightbodies (souls), after being cleansed, will expand to fill the five dimensions (or more). Since everyone has been reincarnated so many times, the physical body of the present is temporary. It will cease to be.

In her book, “The Last Ghost Dance”, Brooke Medicine Eagle(6) writes, “This process is one of bringing Spirit into our denser bodies and then becoming less and less dense as we fill ourselves with Light. I believe we have all the latent encoding we need for becoming a Lightbody. As the pillar of celestial fire fills us, it is triggering transformation possibilities that already live within us.” (7)

The following list is of common symptoms that occur in preparation for the coming Ascension. How this happens, according to New Age beliefs, is that various entities will download DNA codes in to people’s bodies. But, everyone (not just those preparing for the Ascension) has experienced some of these sometime in their lives. Some symptoms are indicative of mental illnesses, others of physical ones, and still others of aging. However, many New Age believers claim that these are the signs that our bodies being readied for the Ascension

Some symptoms of Ascension include:

Feeling stress.
A feeling of disorientation.
Unusual aches and pains.
Waking at night between 2 and 4 a.m.
Memory loss.
Heightened sensitivities to your surroundings.
Dizziness, loss of balance, back and neck pain, ringing in the ears, “gritty” eyes, and blurred vision.
Heart palpitations with difficulty in breathing.
Headaches.
Crying about anything.
Not remembering the meaning of anything.
You don’t feel like doing anything.
A loss of desire for food.
Why 2012?

To answer why the year 2012 for the Ascension, review the channelings of the 1990s to the present. In the 1990s, either no date was attached to the Ascension or it was the coming millennium. Virgil Armstrong in 1995 wrote that the second coming of the Christ will occur in the year 2005. (8)
Meanwhile Brooke Medicine Eagle in her first book (written in 1991) discusses the coming Ascension but gives no date. However in her second book (written in 2000), “The Last Ghost Dance”, she gives 2012. She also tells about her friendship with Jose Arguelles, who convinced her to hold a Harmonic Convergence (9) ritual in 1987. He was the one who pressed on her the importance of 2012.

Meanwhile, Barbara Hand Clow who channels messages from the Pleiadians freely admits to adopting the Arguelles date of 2012. John Major Jenkins confirms in his book “The 2012 Story” how Arguelles was the one who spread the meme of 2012 in the New Age community. Ironically, Jenkins also spread the meme by writing “Maya Cosmogenesis 2012” in 1998.

The development of this meme can be traced through other means as well. Barbara Marciniak, who started channeling the Pleiadians in 1988, makes no mention of 2012 as the Ascension date in a 1998 interview with “The Monthly Aspectarian” (10). In that interview, she and the Pleiadians focused on Y2K instead. However her book editor and publisher was Barbara Hand Clow, who also published Jenkins and Arguelles. By 2004, Marciniak was including the 2012 for Ascension, and had the Pleiadians commenting on the Mayan Calendar as well. (11)

Another channeler who followed the same pattern is Amorah Quan-Yin, who channels Pleiadians, Sirians, various Galactic Federations, and dolphins since 1988. She did not attach any date to Ascension until Barbara Hand Clow edited her books starting in 1996. (12) How could so many advanced beings not know the date was 2012? How did Hand Clow know the date before they did? (Perhaps her group of Pleiadians did not inform Quan-Yin’s group.)

The 2012 meme spread from Arguelles to Medicine Eagle and Hand Clow. From Hand Clow, it spread to Marciniak and Quan-Yin. Meanwhile, Jenkins’s 2012 books were published and edited by Hand Clow.
Outside of this circle is Jelaila Starr who channels the Nibiruan Council. Her channelings follow a similar pattern. In her newsletter for December 2001 (13) she discusses their Grand Experiment of 2003 of creating a “New Earth”. Then in her 2004 newsletter, she claims that the Ascension started September 11, 2001, when the planes flew into the World Trade Towers. (14) However in 2005, after a few books were published about the 2012 date and the Mayan calendar, did her newsletter for February 2005 feature the 2012 date for the Ascension. (15)

Afterwards, Starr included other ideas from the other channelers. From Marciniak, she borrowed the idea that the Earth will cross the Galactic Equator, and then move into the Photon Band. She also stressed Arguelles’ idea of the Harmonic Convergence starting the countdown to 2012. Mixing Marciniak’s ideas and Arguelles’, Starr added her idea that a new dimension of consciousness will come into being. (16)

What emerges from the channelings is how they reflect each other. If these advanced beings are concerned with all of the Earth’s humans, then why are they peculiarly focused on American concerns such as Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama’s policies and personalities? For example Quan-Yin describes how President Obama appeared to her and her students. As an “Enlightened Being”, he was leading a group called the “League of Nations” (17) Meanwhile Hand Clow discusses on her website how the Pleiadians say that President George W. Bush promoted fascism.

2012 Ascension Focus: Christ and Quetzalcoatl

Within New Age circles, Jesus Christ is often conflated with Quetzalcoatl, a God of the Mesoamericans. In “The 2012 Story”, Jenkins writes that Tom Shearer wrote about the connection between the two in his books of the 1970s. By the 1980s, Shearer’s ideas became doctrine with many New Age believers. Medicine Eagle in her two books writes about He (Christ) came to the Americas and was called by many names including Quetzalcoatl. Hand Clow writes, “What I did not understand about 9D is why its Keepers are the Enochians. (emphasis is hers) Well, these Keepers may reveal the actual mechanics of evolutionary processes, as you will see. This ultimately led me to the revelation that Christ – Quetzalcoatl to the Maya – is the central motivating figure of the evolutionary processes, the nexus point between the material and spiritual realms.” (18)

However, she got her ideas from Calleman, who wrote about how the two are connected. He writes, “It has been suggested several times that the energies of Christ and Quetzalcoatl are the same or at least closely associated. If nothing else, it was in the baktun ruled by Quetzalcoatl, AD 40-434, that Christianity expanded to a world religion. This, in contrast to many of the religions that had preceded it, brought a message of love and forgiveness to mankind. On a symbolic level the Cross of Christianity was an expropriation of the World Tree and Quetzalcoatl was really the Serpent that in so many traditions was winding around the World Tree and in this symbolism the two energies are immediately connected.” (19)

2012 Ascension Focus: The Photon Band

What these channelers also focus on is that the Earth will come in full contact with the Photon Band in 2012. When that happens, the Earth will be rained with purifying energy. Those who have cleansed and restored their Lightbodies will be ready. Those who have neither integrated nor made amends will perish. The earth will experience darkness, and then eternal light. A new Earth will come into being.

According to various New Age sources, the Photon Band (Belt) was discovered in 1961 by satellites. These sources state that the band encircles the Pleiades at an absolute right angle to its orbital plane. Sol, our Sun, orbits the Pleiades every 26,000 years, and reaches the mid-point of the Band every 12,500 years. This Earth/Sun/Pleiades cycle is at the end of a 230,000,000 year orbit around the Galactic Center. (20)

**For the record, there is no Photon Band, and hence no discovery by satellites. Our Sun does not orbit the Pleiades. Moreover, the Earth is moving away from the Pleiades. **

However given this level of specificity, none of the channelers can agree on what it is or when the Earth first entered this band. Armstrong claims that it is the abode of the Christ, and that the Earth entered it in 2000 CE. Meanwhile both Hand Clow and Medicine Eagle say that it is a large mass of light particles. But Hand Clow claims entry in 1998, whilst Medicine Eagle says 1996. Quan-Yin says that the band is a high-frequency cosmic emanation from the center of the Galaxy, and that the Earth’s entry happened in 2000.

However, Jenkins claims that Marciniak introduced the idea of a Photon Band in 1992, with her first channeled book. (21) Hand Clow started writing about this band in 1995, Quan Yin in 1996. Meanwhile, Armstrong, who is not associated with Hand Clow, published his first book on the Photon Belt in 1995.

Jenkins further credits Arguelles with connecting this band with 2012. According to Arguelles, the Earth’s passage through this band will purify it for Ascension in 2012. The channelers merely reiterate these two concepts in their writings.

2012 Ascension Focus: The Pleiadians

Channeling Pleiadians came into vogue in the early 1990s. Since then, three people have emerged as well-known channelers of Pleiadians – Barbara Marcaniak, Barbara Hand Clow, and Amorah Quan-Yin. Perhaps they were inspired by the popularity of Subaru cars, with their distinctive logo of the Pleiades star system.

These three women do not channel the same group of Pleiadians. Hand Clow channels Satya, whom she first claimed to be “Astrologer, Keeper of the Records for the Pleiades and the Central Pleiadian Library of Alcyone” (22), and later promoted to “Goddess”. (23) She explains that the Pleiadians were deeply involved with the Earth until the “Great Catastrophe”. In 1995, Satya said this happened in 10,800 BCE when the Earth’s poles shifted. (24) However, in 2000, Satya changed her mind and claimed that the date is actually 9,500 BCE when the Vela Supernova nearly destroyed the Earth. (25)

Meanwhile Marciniak says she does not who the Pleiadians she channels really are, only that they are collective of multi-dimensional beings. (26) She claims that they were assigned to the Earth from the future. According to Marciniak, her Pleiadians claim that the Earth is a living Library for Creation. In 1994, these beings of the future were convinced that the end point for Ascension was 2000 or Y2K. However, in 2004 they changed their minds and cited 2012. (27)

Quan-Yin channels Ra of the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light. According to her group of Pleiadians, humans originated in deep space, and are closely connected with various space aliens. Ra claims that humans will bring about the Second Coming of Christ on Earth provided that 144,000 of them are initiated into Quan-Yin’s Mystery School.

Along with the Photon Band, the Pleiadians will aid in the Ascension in 2012. Depending on the channeler, the roles of the Pleiadians differ. Hand Clow says that they will lift the quarantine placed on the Earth. Meanwhile, Quan-Yin claims that they are here to clear the way for the Second Coming of Christ on the Earth. For Marciniak, the Pleiadians are to assist the Earth through the transition from the third dimension.

From a sampling of these channelers, the various groups of Pleiadians closely reflect the interests of each person who reports on their pronouncements. One thing that all these women stress is that the Pleiadians will bring the Goddess energies back to the Earth. The Female Goddess will return to balance the energies of the Male God (i.e. monotheism) and overturn the Age of the Patriarchy. All three women discuss the urgent need for the Divine Feminine in the world today in order for the Ascension to occur.

With this focus of restoring the Goddess to her proper place beside God, the channeling of aliens becomes a device to promote religious views. The channelings are now a covert method to promote their various belief systems. Therefore, the channelings should be regarded as religious texts rather than as actual facts or prophecy.

Conclusion

It is demonstrated how New Age practitioners reference each other, and rarely research outside their own circle. For example, Calleman’s ideas of time accelerating for the Mayan Calendar and hence the Ascension, which Hand Clow agrees with, came from Marciniak in her channelings. These people’s beliefs are self-re-enforcing. Therefore the Ascension happening in 2012 is pure speculation based on a closed loop of authors and channelers.

Calleman actually provides reasons as to why 2012 (or in his case 2011) is not the date of the Ascension. He tells of how divine creation follows its own pace, and not what a calendar assigns to it. He writes, “And if every one of us represents the unfolding of a unique aspect of the divine plan there is further the possibility to live our own lives based on our unique guidance, resonance, intuition, creativity, and choice, rather than on what is expected from us by society or others. We have the choice to live a unique life based on the guidance we receive and the values we shape.”(28)

Well, that is what creating your reality is all about. It is what you believe that you create. So, while you are free to believe that there are no new energies coming around, I can feel them and it is tremendously awesome.

I wanted to channel while I was feeling those new energies, and that felt awesome. I can only say that I never felt energy before this last year, and if does feel so good.

It is never my intention to change anyone's beliefs, however, only to share what is happening in my world. And since I seem to have plugged in to this channeling space, these are the messages I keep gettting. It is interesting for me to note that I am not the only one getting these messages, they are out there all over, so it does lend itself to helping me realize that while I am creating my reality, there are others like myself also creating similar realities, and that is just so fun. It is joyful.

Light.

I think it is interesting to note that, in the six minutes between my posting this thread and your response, you have quite a response all put together. I also wish to state that I am no longer living in fear, I have been shaking that off for quite some time. So while I didn't really bother to read all of your post, as I believe you didn't bother to read mine, I will just say that to each his own, and the intention of mine was to share with love some of what I have been experiencing. And that is only ever my intention.

Just a thought.

Oh and one more thing. Since I am creating my reality and leaving behind a lot of my old patterns of behavior, one of my new behaviors includes putting others who do not have the same intentions, or even maybe beliefs is a better word, as mine on my ignore list. And you have just made my ignore list with beautiful, indelible brilliant colors, so thanks.

I enjoyed that message Nameless and like you, I have been feeling these Energies since march.I didnt know what they were at first but Im absolutly sure now that they are the Energies of a shift that has been predicted by many.
The Energy has got a LOT stronger over the last few weeks and is physically shaking me at times but its beautiful.I just have to close my eyes and breathe in and i feel Bliss.Im looking forward to it getting even stronger over the comming weeks.

I know most people dont feel it as strong.It started many years ago and we are crossing a point of no return in the comming weeks but i believe that everyone on the planet will start to feel this Energy over the next few years.Its the Energy of love so its easy to feel but fear and negativity are the opposite of it and will slow down your intake of this Energy.
fear and negativity will get weaker and the Energy of love will get stronger which will allow Your spirit to come and join you here on Earth.... Thats what this accension is all about,living in the physical here on Earth and feeling the Energy/Bliss of spirit every second of the day

[Lightwaves]

Thank you for relaying the message. I felt inspired by hope for our future when reading it and I just wanted you to know that. I tried to channel in response but I was disjointed and it ended up going all over the place so I deleted it. Anyway, thank you.

I think I someplace else said that Earth will be backwards compatible so no one is left behind (at least that is how I sense it) and as the new generations comes to Earth the shift of humanity (and all) will more and more align with the planetary shift there is here to benefit us all (not destroy us ). And I agree about the doorway, step through it when you are ready because there is no need to do it before... relax and have fun.

Just an observation:

The world would be a very bland place, if all we met were people exactly like ourselves, and everyone agreed with us. I don't mind being on an ignore list, but at the same tolken....there can be no more learning or exchange between the 2 of us.

If you block every person that thinks differently than you, where is the challenge in that? Where does conversation flourish?

Yes, the message is nice, but not everyone believes. That is the reality.

Best of luck to you, it will be interesting to re-visit a thread like this in a year, and see if every one feels that the ascension occured.

P.S. The speed with which I post denotes nothing but the fact I have researched this topic in depth, and have formed my own opinion. I'm not out to get you. But if you are so sure in your belief, then why did my response shake you so, and also, why did it elicit 3 more responses? Just a bit of food for thought.

Hey, Barrynu - nice to see you around again...I'm loving the energy, and it never really ever goes away - sometimes its "louder" sometimes its just barely noticeable, but it is constant, like my molecules are going for a ride. Really different, but cool. Shen says that will subside a bit as my body adapts to it more...but that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon. Anyway, I am glad you enjoyed it.

You are very welcome . I wish I could take credit for it, but I didn't write it, I just received...but thank you for you kind words.
