In all of life, there are cycles. Our heartbeat, the tides, day and night, the seasons--we are surrounded by rhythms of the inbreath and outbreath of Creation. There are cycles of sound and light frequencies, of magnetic vibration, of electric current, that are too brief to be counted by our ordinary senses, although we have devised instruments that can extend our senses to measure them. Conversely, there are cycles that are so long that we must rely on the records the geologist reads in rocks and the knowledge encoded in the world's sacred scriptures. Ice Ages, epochs, precession of the equinoxes, Great Circle Orbits--these stretch beyond the individual mind's ability to grasp their extent.

The period of time in which we now move and have our being is rather unique, in that it represents a confluence of many cycles. There is a 26,000-year cycle during which our north pole points at all twelve signs of the Zodiac, in "Ages" of approximately 2,300 years. There is a 206 million-year cycle, in which our solar system makes one revolution around the Great Central Sun of our galaxy, the Milky Way. There is a 4.5 billion-year cycle called a "Day of Brahma" in the Hindu tradition, which signals the length of a given Creation.

The period in which we are now living constitutes the ending of the Piscean Age and the beginning of the Aquarian Age. However, it also coincides with the ending of the ending of our solar system's 22nd Great Circle Orbit and the ending of a Day of Brahma. All the major cultural and religious traditions throughout the world point to this time as the ending of our world as we know it. Such diverse sources as the Mayan calendar, the pyramid calendar, the Vedic scriptures, the Hopi prophecies, and our Bible all give us a clear indication of the significance of this period.

In March of 1982, I received a vision of everything that was coming in terms of the transition to a "New Heaven and New Earth." I have seen a great outpouring of information, beginning as a trickle in the mid-'70s, swelling rapidly through the early '80s, and reaching flood proportions today. If the symbol of Aquarius is seen as a figure pouring water out of a jar, then we must see this growing tide of information as the pouring out of consciousness over our planet from the jar of Universal Mind. It is coming from all quarters and appears in many forms, depending on the understanding and the sphere of influence of the recipient. The same originating impulse to greater awareness produces many different versions of "truth," ranging from religious and political fanaticism to people simply gathering in meditation or attuning to their own inner knowing.

For the last [several] years, then, I have been aware, and I have been watching for signs that would tell me where we are in the process of reaching our Omega point--the point in time when our present world as we know it would make a transdimensional shift upward into a fourth-density world. I saw that 1985 constituted the beginning of the final acceleration of consciousness, and began receiving much information about coming events and the choices that had to made. I saw 1986 as the "Year of Disruption," in which the passing of Halley's comet, the Uranus and Pluto transits, and other energies produced the clear signs of the disruption of old patterns.

Weather changes, economic patterns, geologic disruptions, and a veritable "flood" of channeled information signaled the large-scale disruptions. On an individual level, I saw marriages break up, major illnesses emerge, and intense "soul pairings" form up to stimulate the necessary growth in individuals. Everywhere I looked, everything seemed to be calling out to people everywhere to pay attention. Chernobyl, AIDS, oil prices, the resurgence of interest in UFO's--all seemed to part of the same fabric of change.

So what do we as individuals need to know about how to respond to these incoming energies? Simply this. According to the information that I have received to date, we must look to the changes that come as opportunities to clear our old patterns, for none of the "old" can be taken as baggage into the "new." Jesus had said, "You cannot put new wine in old skins." Now our focus must be on clearing ourselves at all levels, using whatever methods we resonate with.

Some tools are holistic medicine, massage, emotional clearing, hypnosis, meditation, prayer, psychotherapy, and, above all, cultivating our ability to listen to our own "inner voice" as to what we must do and where we must go. We must clear our physical selves and make them strong enough to integrate the rising frequencies of energy, as our world is ratcheted upward toward the higher vibrations of fourth-density existence. We must clear our emotional bodies to erase all negative programming. Pettiness, fear, greed, jealousy, pain, anger, hatred--division of all kinds--must now be cleared and transmuted within our own selves, if we as individuals seek to be among the inhabitants of the New World.

Those who refuse to relinquish their old patterns will have the opportunity to repeat another 25,000-year cycle of third-density existence elsewhere in the cosmos, but they will not remain on planet Earth. There is no judgement or damnation in this. Each individual is offered the same choice, at the soul level. The choices have been made, consciously or unconsciously, and we each of us have chosen. We either now recoil into the darkness of fear, or are brave enough to step forward to offer up our dross to the cleansing light of Divine Love.

It is important for each one of us to remember the truth that lies behind the apparent form: each has chosen, through the divine right of free will, to participate in these times in their own way, in accordance with their own soul's purpose. Nothing is ever lost, and we all share the common destiny of ultimately rejoining with that divine source in which we have our origin. Outside of time, there is no path that is better than another. They are only of different shapes. Ultimately, we all "arrive," but the route we travel in getting there is by our own personal choice.

In closing then, I would like to say to each of you, as apparent "tests" come your way, to look upon them as opportunities to grow, to expand into that greater knowing that is to be part of the New World. These opportunities for growth will come in many forms in our daily lives. Whenever you would feel anger or fear, choose love. Whenever you feel troubled, look within your heart and find peace. Will yourself to reach beyond the turmoil within and bring in light and love. The stakes are high. How do you choose?

I leave you now in love and light.
