You are all embodying the higher light. You are experiencing some discomforts as those attachments and those conditions that are not in keeping with your essence are purged from your cellular memory and from your life circumstances. This is a good time to simplify your lives. By that, we do not mean you have to become ascetics. We are merely suggesting that "less is more." If you still have clutter in your life, get rid of the clutter. If you have possessions that no longer reflect your present tastes or interests, outflow them – give them to someone that will use them. Open up space in your homes, your lives. Say goodbye to those things that no longer serve you, with thanks for what they have been for you and to you. They have served you well; but when they no longer serve you, pass them on. The less you have left of the things that remind you of what you were, the easier it will be to receive what you are becoming. You can still keep photographs if they still have energy for you. You can still keep books if they still have energy for you. But those things that don't have energy for you anymore - get rid of them. Set them free. Be discerning, and by doing these things, you will make yourself more aware of how you have changed.
You will continue to change, and your tastes and interests will continue to change. One day you may be drawn to something and soon afterward you will be through with it. No blame. Just accept the process and move smoothly through it, touching on those things that present in your life to be touched upon. If there is one quality that will characterize this process, it is impermanence. Nothing will remain the same. You are changing daily, so it makes sense that your relationship to your world will also be changing daily. As things proceed, you will become skilled at surfing the wave of change. You will become more accustomed to maintaining your balance and staying over your feet as the wave of change carries you toward your destination -- Terra. In surfing, the key to a successful ride on the wave is staying right over your feet. If you lean back too far or forward too far, you will tumble into the wave. If you remain anywhere but over your feet, you lose your balance and the ride is over for the moment, requiring you to get back up and regain your balance again.
We have spoken a little about how it is on Terra -- how one creates anew in the moment, without reference to the past or the future. In this metaphor of surfing the wave and staying over your feet, we are talking about staying rooted where you ARE - in the present moment - rather than in the "past" (where you have been) or the "future" (where you are going). If you think about it, all fear derives from past experience being projected onto the future. When things arise in your present moment that remind you of something from the past, you can easily project that the past experience will repeat itself in the moments that follow the time of remembering that past. This is when you feel fear. It's inner talk that says, "It was like this before, so it will be like this again." If you experienced pain in the past, you expect it will be painful again. That is where the fear comes in. You want to avoid the pain. "I'm afraid that if this moment goes the way it went before, I'll experience what I experienced before, and I don't want to do that again."
The answer to this is to cut through the cords of memory, to interrupt the inner talk by saying out loud, "That was then. This is now." Boom! You are back in the present, able to choose anew in the present moment. When you say the word "now," you bring your attention into the present. Say "NOW" out loud, right now. Feel NOW. What is really happening NOW? Not what happened before, not what MIGHT happen later. What is really happening NOW? Do you see how you are in the habit of scaring yourself? Cultivate the practice of living NOW. Live each moment as the only moment that exists. That is how it will be on Terra. Get used to it. Create a little bit of Terra right where you are, NOW. NOW is the only place you can create anything. NOW is the only place you can choose anything. NOW is all you ever really have. (Operation Terra) - www.operationterra.com
The shifts and changes [Ascension]… cannot be enacted through political action or protest. They are born of a higher vibration, and can only begin manifesting when humankind lets go of its addiction to ego-centered control, and simply begins to flow with the river of life that has always been within you. The struggle and hardship of your Limitation Journey are just about complete! Your hearts are opening, and becoming knit-together through communication, and your growing realization of who you really are.
As I join you on this day, amidst much restlessness within many of you, with changes about everywhere around and within you, I also see how there is a resistance to these changes becoming stronger, in quite a few human beings - trying to hold onto the past, trying to keep things the way they are, or even trying to get things back to the way they were. Dear friends, change is not only inevitable, it is liveliness, it is the movement and flexibility needed to adjust to the new era of mankind and planet earth.
As Mother Earth struggles with the transition, it is only natural that you struggle as well, however, it is of utmost importance to realize that you must accept change, and remain flexible. If you resist change, you become hardened in your mental paths, and pressure on you will build up, which could eventually lead to that you "break", unless you accept the change and regain your flexibility, releasing the built up pressure. Imagine a tree standing in a storm - if it is flexible, it will bend, but not break. If it isn't flexible, the winds will eventually rip off branches, or even knock over the entire tree. You are like such a tree - it is up to you, to accept the fact that the wind is there, and be flexible - or to resist it with stiffness, and loose parts of yourself, or even more.
If you find it hard to accept the changes, dear friends, remember the power of the white light, and use it to overcome your fears of change, simply by sending white light into your fears, and into the cause of your fears, on a daily basis. Please, dear friends, also remember that it is important to remain focused, remain with your consciousness in the present, not loose yourself in a past that in any way wasn't quite the way you may remember, as the human mind serves as a filter of active memories. Return to yourself, return to the present, and accept willingly and lovingly the changes that are happening, and that are about to happen, as many more will come - some changes are more painful than others, but in the end these changes lead to a life on this planet that you cannot even begin to imagine at this point, and I deem it better not to give you any details about it at this point, but let me assure you that you will definitely feel it will have been worth the pain and the efforts. It is much like giving birth - it may be accompanied with pain, especially if you resist, but in the end you will be full of joy and happiness, and glad that you went through the process. May my words be of help, and blessings to you! (Archangel Michael through Ronna Herman) - www.RonnaStar.com
Life is not suffering; it's just that you will suffer it, rather than enjoy it. Learn to let go of your mind's attachments and just go for the ride freely, no matter what happens. (Dan Millman)
When it becomes more difficult to suffer than to change; you will change. (Dr. Robert Anthony)
Welcome the task that makes you go beyond yourself. (Frank Mcgee)
Abandon altogether the search for security, and reach out to the risk of living with both arms. Court doubt and darkness as the cost of knowing. (Morris L. West)
Allowing is much like faith or trust. It is a declaration to the All that you need not understand, but that you are in acceptance of what is. With your limited perspective of the Universe, it would not be possible to understand fully the whys of the Source.

Happiness can exist only in acceptance. (Denis De Rougamont)
Courage is the power to let go of the familiar. (Mary Byrant)
It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power. (Alan Cohen)
The weather-cock on the church spire, though made of iron, would soon be broken by the storm-wind if it did not understand the noble art of turning to every wind. (Heinrich Heine, 1797-1856 German Poet Journalist)
Every time you meet a situation, though you think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the tortures of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it, you find that forever after you are freer than you were before. (Eleanor Roosevelt)
…the pain that you might experience today is really for your greatest good, for it is assisting you to release all the fears and all unwanted energies of the past, so that you may now contain within your very beings, a greater amount of love and of light for the future. Fear will always hold you back upon your path to the Source - your journey home. Dispense with all fear in this moment. Say now in your hearts, "I have no part in fear. Fear is no part of me. Love is the energy of my being. I Am that Love. I Am that Light. I Am that I Am." (Mother Mary)
What is needed rather than running away, or controlling, or suppressing, or any other resistance is understanding fear; that means - watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it. (Jiddu Krishnamurti, 1895-1986 Indian Theosophist)
