An eagle flies over the coastline. It is a new coastline. The map of the world has changed. Great sections of the earth's crust have sunk and other sections have risen up from the ocean floor. The climates and the weather patterns have also changed. The flora and the fauna readily adjust. Humanity must also adapt.
These tremendous changes come to earth in a regular cyclic pattern of thousands of years. Each time this great physical transition occurs, it ushers in a new phase for the planet. Each time these great changes come, there are some humans who know in advance and prepare.
There are many factors that are very different this time as we face a great transformation on earth. The planet is much more populated than ever before. There is also widespread technology, whereas before such advancements were located in only a few areas. The destruction of the earth's atmosphere and the pollution of her land and waters are also unprecedented. Unfortunately, the great earth changes cannot heal all these wounds. Many centuries must pass during which we hold a new reverence for this planet before the damages can be repaired.
The transition itself is critical. Those of us who know in advance are guided to appropriate places. We must pray and use visualizations during the changes not only to help assure our own safety, but to help the earth herself bury or somehow isolate the most lethal spots until long-term healing can occur. This was accomplished before, during the last great transition, but on a much smaller scale.
The technology that survives must be revamped and used for service not profit. Our entire way of living on this planet must change if humanity is to use this plane for learning and evolution. All the mistakes that have been made in this civilization come to an intense climax. We must face them and be willing to completely change our way of being on earth. We have this opportunity.

9/17/90

Every day we must pray for a successful transition on earth. The great transformation must be in our hearts and minds as we go about our daily activities on the material plane. We must be mindful of the great changes as we approach everything we do. Those of us who take these words to heart are the ones who prepare by changing our lives and by undertaking our personal transformations.
The great transformation necessitates the collapse of the old structures of society. We must remove ourselves as much as we can from these old ways, while still remaining active and involved on the earth plane. This is not always easy to do, and we may sometimes have some difficult choices to make. We cannot, however, compromise our new path or our new values. We must remain steadfast as we move to slowly and steadily change our lives and ourselves. We must not deviate from the new direction to which we have dedicated ourselves, even if it means refusing a job or losing a friend. For whatever we have to forfeit or leave behind, we fill our lives with so much more as we proceed on our new path to personal transformation. As our needs and our values change, we find that our lives become lighter and more joyful. We find that what we now need and what we now value come to us. Our fears, our insecurities, our old lives pass away as we further refine ourselves and our lives.
The old values and the old ways do still tug at us from time to time as we move forward. We may be tempted by money or by someone's promises. We can see through these empty enticements. We hold the knowledge of the great transition within us. Every day this knowledge becomes embedded in more of our cells. We see clearly that it is time for the old ways to pass. We smile and let nothing deter us from the changes we have decided to make. At any difficult juncture, we need only pray for strength and guidance, and we receive all the help we need. We are blessed upon this path.


9/20/90

Those who walk the earth in the time after the great transition hold in every cell in their bodies a new respect for this planet. Everything in nature is seen as a sacred treasure entrusted to our care. This new view of our relationship to the planet and all upon her is a cornerstone for the new way of being on earth.
Compassion for all that live upon the planet is an important part of our new approach. Love and compassion flowing from us make all the difference as we establish new foundations for life on earth. If society is built upon compassion and respect for each other and the earth, then truly a golden age for humanity is the result.
The great transition shakes and crumbles all the old structures that have existed for centuries on earth. We have the opportunity through thorough preparation and readiness to build a new society from the rubble of the old. We must be very clear about what we are doing, but this can be easily accomplished if we have first completed our own personal transformations. We then have this new way of being already living in every cell in our bodies. We automatically conduct ourselves in accordance with the new values. Many of us also have direct communication through the veil between the earth realm and other realms. We therefore have access to any guidance we might need when faced with rebuilding order here on earth. Detailed assistance is available to us in this important and sacred time. It is, after all, up to those of us who spent years in preparation for leadership during the great transition to also help establish the new way of being on earth. This is the most important part of all we have prepared for.
We have undertaken a sacred trust. We must follow through to completion. Once we have truly established the new values and the new ways on earth, we can smile and feel much joy in our hearts, for then we have helped humanity take the most essential evolutionary step.


9/21/90

Memory is a part of life on earth, but we must learn to have memory without longing. If we long for that which has passed away, we diminish the energy we have for the present. In the times of great change as well as in the time following the great transition, we must focus as much of our energies as we can on establishing a new way of being on earth. Although there may be certain people, places, or things that we miss from the old time before the change, we must not let our memories stir deep longing for that which is gone. We must be able to let go of the past and hold joy in our hearts for the present.
We humans who are alive on earth during the time of the great transformation have a special task. We must always speak of the past while holding a vision of the future. The generations that follow us remember nothing of the old structures and rely on us to tell them the story of the old ways and the great transition. When we speak of the times before the great changes, we must not speak with longing or yearning in our voices. We must remember that our emotions are powerful, and such spoken longing can possibly undermine the new structures we are working to construct. We must emotionally leave the past behind in order to focus on the needs of the present.
If we find we are yearning for some aspect of the past, we can use a visualization exercise to identify the feeling, detach ourselves from it, and change it. When we realize we are longing for something, we picture it. We pour all of our yearning into the picture in our mind. We attempt to empty ourselves of longing by pouring it all into the visualization. Once we have done this, then we begin to spin bands of brilliant pink, gold, and white light around the picture until it is a sphere of whirling luminescent light. Now we take this sparkling sphere of joy and light into our hearts if we need it, or we send it out to help the present energies on the earth plane.


9/22/90

Apocalypse is a word that many fear. It is a word that brings to mind devastation, destruction and ruin. It is a fact that ruin and decay are a part of the natural cycles present in the material world. Without destruction there would be no constructive change. When the time comes in one of the great cycles on earth for major change, then great destruction must first occur to clear the way. It is the way of the world.
We must, as we prepare to face the great transition, look beyond the time of chaos and ruin. The time of destruction is temporary but necessary. We must hold joy in our hearts as we look to the time when peace and tranquility return to the earth plane. It is difficult to show joy when all around us in the outer world is crumbling, but we can hold joy within us. On the inside, we can be calm, centered, strong, and joyful. On the outside we must be flexible, gentle, loving, and most of all compassionate. Many around us may be distraught and filled with fear. Calm, compassionate, loving words and actions can bring much comfort to those we encounter.
The most helpful approach during this apocalyptic time is letting go. We must relax and release the past while all the time holding within us the assurance of a bright future built on new values. Many may clutch and cling to that which is decaying, for they feel they are losing all they have worked for and built. Their old values based on material gain must crumble and pass away along with their possessions. This may be devastating to some, and they may close themselves to the possibility of a new life without wealth and power based on profit.
Yet there is a new energy afoot, and it is present and available to all on earth. Even in the time of the most turbulent chaos, this new energy shines. We can tune to this new energy now in preparation. It can strengthen us and guide us through the most upsetting times. We can then assist and serve others who suffer greatly from the apocalypse.


9/24/90

The light that shines now upon the earth from beyond the veil is one of healing love. As we face the time of destruction and chaos, we can tune ourselves to this healing loving light. The new ray of light is very strong and is there for any of us who wish to see it, feel it, and bring it into our bodies.
This same ray brings new awareness to those of us who are open to it. The knowledge that is now entering the earth plane with this ray is here to both awaken and heal. Once we grasp the universal truths that are being made evident, we automatically begin to align ourselves with them and with the healing process, which is so needed now on earth.
To make the best use of this precious gift, we must be able to quiet ourselves and bring this healing ray of light and love into our bodies. We can see this ray enter the top of our heads, flow down our spines, and flow out the bottom of our feet then traveling deep into the earth which now also needs great healing. This ray is luminous and bright and contains many colors. We can, through visualization, emphasize one color or another, choosing whichever we need for our personal healing and transformation.
When we do this exercise, we must be conscious that we are tuning to a glorious gift that has been given now to help us and the earth. We must be aware that we are healing and aligning the planet as well as ourselves. We begin by standing, feet slightly spread. We center ourselves in whatever way suits us, through breathing, chanting, singing, or prayer. We will ourselves and our bodies to be open to this blessed ray. We visualize the ray, whether it be multi-colored or the color we choose to emphasize, pouring down through the top of the head, down the throat, down the spine, down the legs, out through the arches of the feet penetrating deep into the earth. We see this loving, healing light go directly to the core of the earth. In this way, we align ourselves with universal truth, and we bring healing light and love to ourselves and to the earth.

As the ages come and go, humanity as a whole faces distinct problems and challenges. We are evolving not only individually but also as a species. What is unique about this time is the speed at which our evolution is occurring. We have come to a point in our development where a great leap is possible. This is due to several factors. We have increased our scientific and technological awareness over the last century. This in and of itself has brought many challenges to humanity. Because of our highly developed technology, we and many other species are facing extinction. We must, in fact, make a leap in consciousness simply to save ourselves.
Beyond this situation, the earth herself is ready for an evolutionary change. The balance on the planet can be restored only through major earth movements including shifts in the earth's crust. This, of course, affects all life on the planet and adds to the potential for an evolutionary leap for humanity. If the possibility of extinction alone does not force this step, the addition of major earth changes certainly does.
We also have at this time the introduction of new energy from beyond the earth plane. This new ray of energy is a gift to the earth and to humanity. This ray is filled with light, love, and knowledge. This new energy does not change the situation on earth by itself, but instead brings an opportunity for us humans to increase our awareness and understanding so that we can make appropriate changes and evolve. It is up to us to open ourselves to the gifts of knowledge and enlightenment that this new ray of energy brings and to put them to use on earth.
Through the combination of factors, humanity can make an incredible evolutionary leap within the span of our lifetimes. We can begin to function in an entirely new way, a way which is beneficial to us, to the planet, and to all upon the planet. Change is a part of all natural cycles. Rapid change presents a unique situation, for we must be prepared to respond correctly in order to make the most of such a time. We have assistance from the earth and from forces beyond the earth as we face this challenge.


9/26/90

In all the ages past, there has never been a time to match the extraordinary circumstances we have today. All is in place; all is in readiness for the great transformation. The unique combination of forces present provides both an incredible opportunity and a formidable challenge.
The day comes to every one of us humans alive on earth when each of us realizes deep in our gut that major change is afoot. This galloping change is leading us rapidly away from the past and into a chaotic and uncertain future. Once we truly grasp that we cannot maintain the old ways with which we are familiar, then we turn to the task of adapting, adjusting, and seeking order in the new time.
Those of us who have spent time preparing for this transformation are the ones who are ready to build new structures in the ashes of the old civilization. Once the deterioration and destruction of the old ways are complete, we must be ready to step forward with peace, order, and a new way of being on earth.
Chaos and confusion weigh heavy on the heart. Those who survive the destruction of the current civilization long for stability. We who are prepared can bring this and more. The potential for what we can accomplish in this time is far greater than we are able to imagine. With the help of spirit guides and angels, we can begin to envision a new world, and we can begin to build it.
We begin with the universal truths that we hold in the core of our beings. We begin by helping everyone discover and know these truths. Once everyone vibrates to these universal truths, new values emerge, and we begin to build a new way of being based on these new values.
Calm, peace, and joy radiate from us, so that our vibrations alone bring comfort and assurance to those who are distraught. We can, by living this new way of being based on the new values, set an example, which is then eagerly followed by all who seek to bring stability out of chaos.


9/27/90

Time is a concept that is relative to earthly reality. Once we step beyond the boundaries of the material realm, time does not apply in the same way. If we could view the situation on earth from beyond the veil, we would see a planet and her inhabitants reaching a climactic condition. We would see that major change is inevitable.
Earth is garnering much attention now from those who exist in other realms. There are those who have chosen to watch over and assist the earth and all upon her now in this time of great change. Channels of communication are opening between these discarnate beings and those on earth who wish to serve. We humans may not possess the powers or have access to the information that these spirit beings do, but we can communicate with them and ask for their guidance and help.
The situation on earth is so critical now that many powerful spirit beings are gathered around, watching events on the planet, offering their assistance. For every one of us humans who awakens and wishes to serve the earth at this time, there are many spirit guides ready and willing to help. The contact and the energy exchanged between the material realm and other realms are increasing at an amazing rate. Knowledge and guided assistance from beyond the veil are now widely available to those on earth who are open and wish to receive them.
There are, of course, prerequisites for establishing contact and receiving help. We must be open, sincere, and willing to use all knowledge and assistance in selfless ways on the earth plane. If we were to use spirit guide contact for material gain or other selfish purposes, we would increase our negative karma. We would eventually lose our links to our guides, were we to continue on this path. If, however, we approach such contact with respect, if we honor our guides and pledge to selflessly serve the earth and all upon her, then we can receive an abundance of help from our spirit friends. We can learn much about the universe and about this climactic time on earth from our spirit friends.


9/28/90

A light in times of darkness, comfort in times of chaos, these and more we can be through preparation and perseverance. We can be calm, stable, and secure within ourselves, and then we can reach out to others who are distraught. We must, however, begin to prepare now, and we must continue our preparations thoroughly and systematically.
As we prepare, let us envision ourselves every day as filled with brilliant light. The more we picture ourselves as bright, luminescent beings, the more light and love we can hold in our bodies. The more light and love we hold in our bodies, the higher our vibration. The more consistently we vibrate at a higher rate, the more complete our personal transformations become, and the sooner they are accomplished.
Of course we need to employ more than just this visualization to further our personal transformations, but this vision of ourselves as lighted, luminescent beings is very important. If we see ourselves in this way as we move through each day, we become more accustomed to a higher rate of vibration. The new cells in our bodies which we manufacture each day hold a higher vibration, and so we change. We move slowly, steadily, day by day, changing our cells and increasing our vibrations. Consistency and perseverance are essential, as is sincerity of intent.
Each day we must cleanse ourselves of desire for self-gain. We become more magnetic and more powerful as we progress in our personal transformations, so we must be aware of the dangers. If we use our increased powers for personal profit, we are causing incredible damage to ourselves in the face of universal karma. We then lose much more than we have gained.
We can use prayer on a daily basis to help keep ourselves aligned with what is right. If we pray every day that we be cleared of desire for personal gain, we are heard and we are helped. If we are sincere as we undertake these changes, we are blessed and guided every day.

9/29/90

It is useless to try to stop change or hold on to the past. We must take the first step which is to willingly open ourselves to the future and to the new ways it brings. Once we do this, we can begin to prepare. We do not forget the past. We do, however, let it go and allow ourselves to move into the flow of the time, which propels us toward a new way of being. We must learn from the time and take advantage of the many gifts and opportunities that are available to us.
As we proceed with our personal transformations, we find it becomes easier and easier to let go of the past along with any grief, regret, or longing we might feel. Each day we breathe in the brilliant light of the new ways and exhale the residue of the past. In this way, we slowly, steadily change the make-up of our very beings, so that the new ways become a very part of us. This procedure takes daily attention, but it is worth every moment we spend.
There is danger during times of great change that we may become paralyzed with grief over the loss of the old civilization which is passing away. We must realize from the first that we cannot stop its disintegration nor can we bring it back. We must let it go and move on. There are procedures we can follow to alleviate any sadness or longing for the past which may hamper our own progress. It is important that we do not get bogged down with sadness over the loss of all the old familiar ways. We must, from the start, adopt the attitude that, while we remember what has gone before, we are moving to establish a new way of being for the good of the earth and all who dwell upon her. Once we set this in our hearts and minds, we can use the following exercise to strengthen this outlook and to alleviate any pain and longing associated with letting go of that with which we have been familiar for so long. This exercise is especially useful if we find we are holding grief, remorse, sadness, or longing within us.
We begin by focusing on these feelings, by actually seeing them inside us. We picture these emotions as a particular color such as dark grey. We feel how heavy, how leaden they are. Crying may help us focus on and feel these emotions. We then visualize a brilliant white star about one foot above our heads. We take the time to see it clearly as it shines luminescent and bright. Now we breathe in this brilliant white light, pulling it down through the top of our heads, down along the spine so that we become lighted. We then breathe out the heavy grey emotions. As we take each in-breath, we see ourselves becoming brighter and more luminescent. As we exhale, we see the dark grey lift and move out of our bodies. We continue until the dark grey emotions have dissipated and we are completely filled with light.


10/1/90

It is very important in times of great change to see the joy in every part of our lives. When events are moving quickly, there is often much uncertainty. We may feel insecure, and we find little stability in the material realm. By taking each day one at a time and by living in the present without grief for the past or fear for the future, we can find much joy within us and all around us. We must simply look for it and be open to it.
Joy is essential. We must bring as much joy as we can to our lives and to the planet, for the new ways on earth are to be based on love, compassion, selfless service, and joy. We can find joy in the beauty of the planet and in the reality that the earth is moving to heal herself. As disruptive as earth changes may be, they bring a new cycle, new ways, and great healing energy to this planet. In this there is much joy!
We can find joy within ourselves. We need only relax and journey to our inner center of peace, calm, and universal truth. There we find a wellspring of joy and love, for we are vibrating in harmony with the universe. It is very beneficial for us to connect with this peaceful, joyous place within us on a daily basis. The joy we find deep within us can then flow out from us to others and to the earth. Our joyous vibration can be like a salve to those around us who are depressed, fearful, and distraught.
There is much joy in our connections through the veil surrounding earth. The knowledge that we humans have assistance and guidance from those who dwell beyond the earth plane is very reassuring. Those entities who have chosen to dwell in realms associated with the earth are there specifically to help us. Their superior knowledge and telepathic talents can be employed to assist us every day. We can ask these spirit guides anything we wish, and we can request assistance with everything we do. Our connections with these spirit helpers are filled with love and joy. We can feel this exquisite joy every time we communicate with these spirit friends. The fact that we no longer have to face any problem alone is joyous in and of itself. As we grow to know our spirit companions, we develop rich friendships and a deep love for them. They in turn love and assist us. There could be no more joyous association than this! Our spirit guides walk with us and help us through every minute of every day if we so wish. We can feel security, support, and nurturing love from our spirit helpers, and in turn we help them by returning their love and by establishing on earth the new ways of love, compassion, selfless service, and joy.
Between the beauty of the earth, the love and assistance from our spirit companions, and our own inner connection to universal truth and harmony, we can experience joy every day of our earth lives. There is no more important time to allow the joy and love to flow through us out to others and onto the earth plane.


10/3/90

People of the earth must unite in sending love to the planet in this perilous time. We may, at times, think that we do not know what to do to help the worsening situation on earth. We must then remember that sending love to the earth, either individually or in groups, is very beneficial.
Love is the great healer. As the planet moves to heal herself, she needs much love. Instead of expending our energies worrying about the disastrous consequences of various situations, we can use our energies, we can use our hearts and minds, to channel love to the planet.
Every day, let each one of us take a moment or two to pray for the earth and to send love to her. The continuation of this material realm as a home to humans depends upon the well-being of the earth. Our daily prayers, thoughts, and emotions are of much assistance to the earth in this time. We must visualize healing love energy surrounding the globe and also penetrating to her core.
Here is a suggested visualization which, when used with prayer, is a very powerful tool for helping the earth. This can be done any time, anywhere. Begin with a simple prayer for the well-being of the earth. Following this, visualize a glowing sphere of luminescent golden light in our heart area. Stay with the visualization until the golden sphere is tremendously bright. As we see this sphere, let us also feel deep love and reverence for the planet. Now watch the sphere expand until it encircles us. See it continue to grow until it engulfs all around us. Now the brilliant sphere expands rapidly until we see it encircling the entire planet. We must make sure as we picture this that the sphere of golden light glows incredibly bright. We see the golden light not only surround the earth, but also permeate the planet to her core. In this way, we take the love in our hearts for the earth and send it to every cubic inch of the planet. If we could manage to do this prayer and visualization each day, we would be connecting ourselves with the planet, and, most importantly, we would be helping her in this time of change.


10/4/90

It has been thousands of years since the last set of great changes on earth. The earth is ripe and ready for a giant transformation. We, too, must be ready with every fiber of our beings. This is a serious commitment, one we must make with sincerity. If we proceed with dedication and perseverance, we receive everything we need to prepare ourselves and to help others prepare.
We must be consistent in our intent. We must approach this work with a selfless attitude. Daily renewal of purpose is helpful here. If we connect each day with our inner center, and through our centers to the purpose of selfless service, then we achieve consistency in our intent. We must not be fooled. Empty words are useless. We must be sincere in our hearts. We must experience this sincerity with such feeling that it overspreads our entire bodies. Our intent is all-important. We must rid ourselves of selfishness in all we do, for if we allow selfishness and self-importance to creep into our hearts and minds, we are no longer aligned with the universal truth. We lose the way. Preparations for selfish reasons are worthless. They do not hold true.
The only way we can be secure upon our path is by clearing ourselves daily of selfishness and self-importance. We must hold steadily to our true purpose of selfless service to the earth and to all who dwell upon her. We must sincerely align ourselves each day with this purpose. This daily rededication is an essential part of all preparations for the great transformation.
Again, it must be emphasized that we must feel the sincerity. We must mean it with our hearts. Evoking this emotion of sincerity on a daily basis is one of the most powerful tools we have to keep us on the path of proper preparation. We are never lead astray if we truly wish to serve others. We are blessed with protection and guidance as long as our intent is sincere.
If we can begin our day every day with a brief prayer that we may be cleared of selfish ways, we are on the right track. If we could add a simple visualization that evokes the feeling of sincerity, we proceed steadily on the path. We need only take a moment and one deep breath. We visualize a pink sphere glowing in our hearts. We see it glow brighter as we feel love. We could feel this love for the earth, or for another person, or for a pet, or a place. The important part is that we feel the emotion of love in our hearts. Once we feel this and see the luminescent pink sphere glowing even more brilliantly, we rededicate ourselves to a selfless approach to all we do. We see the bright pink sphere expand until it engulfs us, and we feel the love and sincerity of purpose overspread us as well. Every cell in our bodies feels the love and sincerity.


10/6/90

Every day presents an opportunity to take another step on the path of preparation for the great transition. Of course, daily awareness is very important. If we are conscious every day of our need to prepare, then we more readily recognize opportunities when they arise. Every time we serve others with love in our hearts, we move forward on the path. Every time we send love and healing energy to the earth, we help prepare the way for a positive transformation. Every time we feel joy when we think of the great changes, we make changes within ourselves.
We must take advantage of the quiet moments that each day offers. We use these moments for prayer, for meditation, for visualization, and for breathing. Even a few moments spent in this way each day are helpful.
Thinking about the great transformation every day helps us see areas of our lives that we wish to change. If we refine ourselves and our lives a little each day, we move steadily forward in our preparations.
Our inner knowledge assures us that these great changes are inevitable. We therefore live each day with an eye to this great transition. This approach helps us recognize situations that are opportunities for us to further prepare ourselves. We must employ our psychic tools every day to move forward with this preparation. Even if we take only one moment or do one deed that furthers our preparations, we move steadily forward.
Daily attention is necessary because we are constantly changing the cells in our bodies. We wish to every day hold more of the vibration of these changes within our very beings. This conscious changing of the makeup of our bodies is an important part of all preparations because we must evolve in harmony with the times. The very best way we can be prepared is to hold the imprint of the change to a new way of being in every cell in our bodies.


10/7/90

Every day as we move closer to the great transition, we must set our lives in order. We must examine every detail of our lives with an eye to the new way of being on earth. We must slowly and systematically clear away all that exists in ourselves and our lives that tie us to the old order. We immediately replace all that we clear away with the new values, the new way of being. We approach this process step-by-step, day-by-day. We must be thorough. We must keep at it.
We must also remember to be kind and gentle with ourselves. Gentleness is a much more effective persuader than force. We must love ourselves as lighted beings every step of the way. We need not become distraught over our weaknesses and failings. We must have patience with ourselves, for we cannot accomplish personal transformation in a day, in a month, or even in a year. This process is slow. It is best if we proceed slowly and thoroughly. Each change we make must be completely assimilated by our beings. Steady progress is more important than the speed at which we move.
From the start, let us see this process as joyful rather than arduous. We are, after all, preparing ourselves for a glorious new way of existence on planet earth. The new way of being is so superior to anything we humans are familiar with that it is difficult for us to imagine all the benefits. Our personal transformations are the first step in a giant evolutionary leap for humanity. It is time for us to make this leap. Let us join together and prepare.
Let us see ourselves and our lives with new eyes. May we see clearly all that we need to change. Let us be joyful as we sever our ties to the old structures and as we clear away those aspects of ourselves that hinder our progress. Each day if we recognize something we need to change or if we make one small alteration in our lives, we are doing well.

10/8/90

The sun and the planets in this solar system are but a tiny speck in the vast universe. So, also, the human experience on earth is but one of a myriad of experiences available in the universe. When we see our earth lives in this perspective, we can more easily look beyond our day-to-day stresses and problems. It is important that we maintain such a perspective because we, as humans incarnated on planet earth, have only so much time and energy. We must learn how best to use this time and energy.
This is a crucial time for earth and for humanity. If we do not pay attention to what is important now, we may lose the earth experience for all time. Therefore, let us focus on the priorities presented by this time of transition. Let us allow the trivial troubles in our daily lives to be dwarfed by the great challenges now facing humanity as a whole. Let us not exhaust ourselves on the inconsequential problems, which pass in a day, a week, or a month. Let us instead place our emphasis on the challenge facing all humanity and the planet brought by this time of transition.
Of course we must deal with our daily troubles, but let us do so with humor and with this greater perspective in mind. Our day-to-day problems shrink to their proper size in our lives when we place them against the backdrop of the great universal challenge now facing humanity. If we get too caught up in our daily stresses, we exhaust ourselves on trivial matters, and we have little if any energy to deal with those areas that are really important.
Let us focus now on what our priorities must be in this time of great change on earth. First, we must connect every day with an awareness of this crucial time. We must, on a daily basis, see this giant challenge now facing humanity. This alone changes our lives, for we more readily recognize what is important and deserving of our time and energy and what is not.
Next, we begin adapting our lives and ourselves so that we are prepared to meet this great challenge. This process of personal transformation also takes daily attention, and we must make sure that we set aside time every day to address this priority. Our paths to this personal transformation necessarily differ, but daily attention is essential no matter how we proceed.
Prayer is extremely important, for we humans, and the earth as well, need the prayers of many in this critical time. Let us ask in our prayers that this great transformation on earth be positive and successful, and that we humans enter upon a new way of being on earth.
Let us use visualizations to send love and healing energy to the planet and to all humans upon it. We need much love and healing in this time. Let us use cleansing breath to clear us of all hindrances to this new way of being. Let us quiet ourselves in daily meditation that we may connect with the core of universal truth within each of us.

Our emotions are valuable. The combination of our emotions and our intent is a powerful key to our progress. Our emotions, however, are volatile: they come; they go; they change. We must learn to work with our feelings to accomplish what we wish.
For instance, we have already outlined how to transmute emotions of a low vibration, such as anger, to emotions of a high vibration, such as compassion. This is important work for those of us on the path of preparation. We are not speaking of control of our feelings, but of recognition, understanding, and transformation of our emotions.
It is very important to let emotions flow. We cannot work with our feelings unless we recognize them and experience them. This is the first step to all work with emotions; we experience feeling. Then we can identify the emotion or emotions. Then we can proceed to focus on the feeling, transmute it if we wish, or perhaps send the emotion to a certain person or place.
Much can be accomplished through this work with our emotions. This work can change our lives many times over for the better! We must begin by seeing every feeling as valuable, for each emotion has the potential of bringing love, joy, or compassion to someone.
Sending the emotion out to someone or perhaps to the earth is the very last step in this work. We must first fully experience and identify the feeling, and, if necessary, transmute the emotion to a higher vibrational level. Here is where the element of intent must be mentioned. Intent is directly linked to our karma. What we intend with our actions and our emotions is as important as the actual result. If we mean well, but our practice falls short due to inexperience, we are still on the right track. If, however, we intend harm of any kind, we are seriously complicating our own karmic situation.
We must, then, intend beneficial results from all our emotional work. If we experience the lower emotions such as anger, frustration, and the like, we must willfully transmute them to a higher vibration before we send these feelings out to anyone.

In this crucial time, it is very important that we keep love alive in every aspect of our lives. We can begin with a deep love for the planet. It is extremely beneficial for the earth and for ourselves if we connect with this love every day.
When we speak here of experiencing love, we speak of experiencing with our minds, our hearts, and, indeed, with our entire bodies. Many of us have had the sensation of being overwhelmed by feelings so that even our extremities are involved in the outpouring of emotion. Once we grasp how important and powerful our emotions are, we also realize the value of being able to contact our feelings and evoke them at will.
The most valuable emotions are love and compassion. We must, in our preparations for the great transformation, learn to transmute our lower emotions to the higher vibrational level of love and compassion. We must also learn to evoke love on a daily basis. There are many ways we can do this, and we each need to find a suitable method. Often love flows from us when we pray. Prayer is an excellent place to start. Prayers for those whom we deeply love readily call up the emotion in our body-mind. We must allow this love to flow through every fiber of our beings and then out onto the earth plane.
For some of us, love flows strongly when we meditate and connect with the core of universal truth within us. Gratitude for our connections to our spirit helpers often evokes love. When we feel love and compassion for our spirit guides, we must allow this love to permeate every cell in our bodies as well as flow out to the spirit companions. It is a cleansing and invigorating feeling to experience overwhelming love.
Visualization and breathing are often useful tools for increasing the love in our lives. We can begin by thinking about someone or something that we love very much. Let us then see this love as a sphere of luminescent pink light in our hearts. We focus on our feelings of love and see them in that sphere. Next we add breath. As we breathe in, we see this brilliant pink sphere grow a little, and we also feel the love energy increase. We can picture a beam of white light entering the top of our heads. We can breathe in and pull this bright white light into our hearts, which increases the size and brilliance of the pink sphere. On the out-breath, we see this pink sphere in our hearts glow brighter. We continue this in a relaxed manner, allowing the sphere to grow and brighten with the breath. We see the sphere and the love it holds reach up into our throats and deep into our abdomens. We then see it grow to include our heads and our knees. We continue until this brilliant pink sphere of light and love encircles our entire bodies. We feel every cell in our bodies vibrate and tingle with this all-pervasive love.

Some humans may see the great transformation as some sort of punishment. In fact, the earth moves to rebalance and heal herself. During these tumultuous days, we humans do face much personal karma. We, of course, experience karmic situations throughout our lives, but these intensely chaotic circumstances bring us incredible challenges and opportunities. We may, during these times, move to balance ourselves by working out our karma.
It is important that we enter these times of transition with the proper attitude. If we view the great changes as an opportunity to rebalance the energies of the planet as well as our own lives, then we meet every challenge with enthusiasm. If we see the great transformation as a time when we can neutralize negative karma from many past lifetimes, we gladly face any test.
We must, however, be ready. If we enter these times unprepared, we may falter and end up producing more problems and more negative karma for ourselves. It is true that these times are severe, and the challenges are immense, but we have been given all we need to successfully deal with every challenging situation.
We begin with awareness of the oncoming transition. We take a deep breath and accept the responsibility of preparing to meet both our personal and the planetary challenges. We pray that we may be strong, centered, and thoroughly prepared for every situation. We pray that we may clear away our past negative karma through selfless service on the earth plane at this time.
There are many facets of preparation for the great transition, but none so important as preparation of our attitude. We must enter these times with a very positive and joyful mindset. We must connect with this positive approach on a daily basis. We must see the destruction of this material society as a deep cleansing process that is essential for the survival of humans upon this planet. We must be filled with joy at the prospect of helping humanity establish a new way of being on earth.
We can also feel elated about the potential for clearing our personal karma. Mistakes of many lifetimes can be rectified through our actions during this time of great change. By approaching every day, every person, every situation with unconditional love, compassion, and selfless service, we evaporate our past negative karma. There are numerous opportunities for us to help others during the great transition, but we must be prepared. This book addresses all basic aspects of this preparation.
The earth is ready for the most dramatic change she has experienced for thousands of years, and so must we be. We must be willing to completely transform ourselves and our lives. The reality is that our lives change anyway, so we might as well accept the changes and seek ways we can make the best of them. This is what this preparation is all about. We joyfully seize the opportunity brought by this time of great change to improve ourselves and all life on this planet.
