"Child of the New Earth" by Monique Monos of Belgium at www.monos-art.be

This may not be easy, since life may seem especially harsh as we deal with the crumbling of the old economic system. But, as Archangel Michael keeps telling us, the energy of the New Earth is very gentle and soft, and the way to align with the new energy is through gentleness and softness and kindness, the qualities of the New Masculine energy. If we are still living with the old masculine energies of control and domination and pushing to get what we want, we will find ourselves frustrated and angry, because this just does not work any more. We have been taught, in the last few years, how to surrender our lives to Spirit and to allow ourselves to be guided into the Flow of Abundance and Blessings. It is a gentle path, and no amount of pushing or pulling will make things happen any faster than they are meant to. Divine Timing is all in this process, and as I have learnt in the years that I have worked with Archangel Michael, there are definite spirals of energy and creation that are linked to the Great Heart of the Cosmos, and our lives unfold in alignment with these waves of love from the Great Central Sun.

So, our role is to be gentle with ourselves and others, and to cultivate gentleness in our own lives. We are learning to be at peace with what is and to accept that all is unfolding in Divine Order and as it should. No matter what things may appear to be on the outside, we can know that the Highest Good is being served in some way that may not be clear to us right now. This requires trust and acceptance that there is a Higher Force that is guiding our lives and the unfolding of events on the Earth.

Now, this idea of gentleness is also tied in with the idea of Compassion, for Compassion in the nature of Unconditional Love and is the Essence of the Golden Flame of Ascended Love and Abundance. Several years ago Archangel Michael also taught me that Compassion means to hold a space for the Highest Good in any situation. That was interesting for me, for I had always imagined that Compassion meant to feel so moved by someone else's situation that you would want to do something for them. Well, this is called "charity" and is one level of the practice of Compassionate Love, but only one. I think that as we learn to work with Compassion and as we begin to fully understand the nature of Compassionate love, we will be able to nurture these "flowers" of Compassion in our lives.

So, if Compassion measn holding a space for the Highest Good to manifest, this means that Compassion is primarily a Spiritual Activity, in which we hold Light and focus Light so that the Highest Good may manifest in that situation. This does not mean that this is where our work ends, for we are here to bring Heaven to Earth, so we would also seek to "ground" that love into the Earth level, and this is where the idea of "charity" comes in. We would want to share what we have so that we might also bring light in terms of alleviating physical suffering. In the old energy, Charity was something that people did out of a sense of having enough so they could give to others who had less. In the New Energy, this need to give to others will be motivated by a desire to share so that the balance may be maintained. The old idea of "charity" in the past was based on the fixed concept of the "rich" and the "poor", in which those who are rich give to those who are poor. Now, as these categories crumble, this need to help others will be motivated by a need to share as an expression of Compassionate Love. As you share your Light with others, so you will seek to share what you have so that all may have enough. For we are all One, and only when we all have enough will the Earth be in Balance and will we all be able to live in Abundance. While there are still those who hold more than they need, and those who do not have what they need, then there will be imbalance and this will create suffering.

I guess I have been thinking about this, as I have been working with the children in our "Children of Africa" project with the idea of food security and "enough for everyone". This is an idea that we hold as an outcome for the Highest Good in Africa, but it is also an outcome that we work for in a very material way, with the help of the Starchild readers. We work to hold both levels of Light, through focus of intent and through sharing what we have, so that the energy can flow and abundance can be created.

That brings me to the sad topic of Zimbabwe and the absolute chaos and misery that exists in that country right now. This is an example of how the old energy is just hanging on and refuses to let go. I felt sad, for in March it looked as through change was about to happen when the Opposition party won the election, but the ruling party was not about to let go. And so the situation limps on, and we wait for the new energies that can come to life the situation into Higher Consciousness, as it must. No one really knows what is happening there right now, and although I have friends in the country, I don't wish to endanger them by sending e mails to ask what is happening. I just trust that they will be cared for and that all will be well. So, I am asking you, if you are reading this, to consider sharing Compassionate Love with the people of Zimbabwe. Hold a space of Light in your Heart for the Highest Good to be achieved in this country, for the Highest Good of all her people. Send Light and Love for their upliftment, and do not give energy to what is negative for if you focus on that it will only grow. I have included below an image of a Sacred Site in Zimbabwe. It is called Dombashowe (I think...i have only ever heard the name spoken) and it means the "place of drumming". It is a site sacred to the ancestors, and a group of us, including people in Zimbabwe, have done Lightwork to connect this site into the Global Grids. So, if you would like to send Light to Zimbabwe as a prayer of hope, you can focus on this image that was taken by a fellow Lightworker in Zimbabwe:

When it comes to demonstrating that compassionate love in real terms, there is not much that any of us can do right now except watch and hope. We have plans to take the "Children of Africa" project into Zimbabwe as soon as there is real change and the government becomes open to such assistance. Until then, I can only say, do something for the poorer people and children in your own community. Wherever you may be, there are always opportunities to nurture the Flowers of Compassion by holding a Sacred Space in your Heart for the Highest Good to unfold, and by sharing of what you have with those who do not have, and so help to create balance.

And just to finish with a smile, a story about some people who like to nurture real flowers as an act of Compassionate Love. I read a story recently about people in London and other cities who are "Green Guerillas". They risk arrest in order to carry out their random activities of greening cities and planting flowers in pieces of ground that have been left derelict in urban areas. Of course, the ground does not "belong" to them, so they can be arrested for such activities, so sometimes they have to creep out late at night for a spot of furtive gardening! But the results are good, and flower gardens are springing up in urban areas to bring the energy of Love and Joy back the cities! Let's hope that one day, real soon, everyone will be looking for places to plant flowers and create beauty in our cities! This is a way we can start to create the energy of Paradise in our Urban spaces.

PS. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to NELSON MANDELA : This week our "Madiba" is in London to celebrate his 90th birthday. As a South African, I am immensely proud of Nelson Mandela and what he stands for. His "Mandela Children's Foundation" was the original inspiration for my own Starchild Children's Foundation. So I invite you to share this video by Johnny Clegg that was taken in France, and includes footage of Nelson Mandela. The song itself is called "Asimbonanga", which I think means "I do not see him" in Zulu. It was written about Nelson Mandela in the days of apartheid, and was of course banned. In those days Johnny Clegg was a brave voice that dared to say what many thought. Now, in this version, he is joined by Mandela and they express the joyous spirit of South Africa at its very best. If you watch the video, at the end you will see Mandela say to the audience : "It is music and dancing that make me at peace with the world and at peace with myself". Yebo Madiba! And then, he invites the audience to dance with him! This is so much the true Spirit of Africa, and we can only hope that this will shine in Zimbabwe one day soon. So, please enjoy "Asimbonanga", which I share with my friend Manfred in Germany who reminded me of this song last year!

21st : The Solstice...the Energetic Acceleration and the new Wave of Cosmic Love....the Overwhelm Factor... I think many of us are dealing with the new energies by just feeling a bit dazed and disoriented. We are in a totally new place and space, which also looks like the old one but is not. The nature of illusion is becoming very apparent right now, as we FEEL the channges deep within our Being, and yet what we SEE out there seems pretty much the same as always. Gradually, we are learning that we see is what we create, and we are learning how to align FEELING with CREATION so that we can truly begin to see these huges shifts in energy as they manifest on our Planet.

When I looked back at the last six months since the last Solstice, I realized just how much things have changed in that time, and how fast the energy is moving and shifting on our Planet. We have reached an accelerated stage of our transformation process, and from now until 2012 we can expect that these waves of new Energy and Light Codes from the Great Central Sun will become more intense and will lead to ever greater shifts and changes.

These current Light Codes are related to the Twin Flame energy and the Paradise Code activations, which are, of course, closely linked. As we activate our own inner Twin Flame energy and come into inner balance, we are able to activate our Template for Perfect Health and the Paradise Codes within ourselves and on our Planet. And so, many people have shared with me that they have had dreams about their Twin Flame energy at this time. These have generally been fun dreams, in line with the playful nature of this energy. In my own case, I asked my Higher Self to send me a dream of my Twin Flame, so that I could have a "sneak preview" as it were. I dreamed about a Dolphin. Well, it looks like my Twin Flame is a big fish! But seriously, I was happy with that dream, because Michael has often said to me that the New Masculine Energy is like a Dolphin, playful, gentle and yet passionate and very sensual/sexual. That sounds good to me! So I am ready for the New Dolphin Man when he arrives!

Also, another dream that I had that was very meaningful for me, was of a bird that appeared and began to sing to me. It was early morning, and I knew that this bird was coming to sing to me of a New Dawn. I listened while it sang, and it was a very vivid dream, I could see every feather of this bird in a very intense way. Birds are special to me, I am always surrounded by birds, probably because my garden is bird friendly and I feed them as well. When I was in South America, wherever I went, there were always birds to welcome me, sometimes very obviously. Here are some pictures I took of a group of birds that came for a "chat" in Iguacu:

These birds came right up to me. The one even flew into my face to get my attention and then sat right next to me and told me about how sad he was that humans were not caring about the Forest any more. I told them that we were there to do just that! A group of his friends joined us, but then, as always happens when I talk to animals, all sorts of people arrive and want to have their photo taken with these amazing creatures and this spoils the energy. People have yet to learn to respect the sacred space that animals create with humans!

Well, in this wave of New Energy, no matter how disorienting and overwhelming its feels right now, is the Golden Light of the Flame of Ascended Compassionate love, which triggers the consciousness of the Twin Flame and the Paradise Codes. We are, at last, beginning to truly remember Who we Are! We are beginning to remember that we came here to build Paradise on our Planet and live in Unconditional Love and Joy, and not to create dramas of war and loss and suffering. We are beginning to lift our consciousness into the Fifth Dimension where we can truly live the Paradise that was alwasy planned for us, if we chose. And so, we are making that choice now. As you move through these intense days, make the choice to hold your Light and choose Light. It is, in fact, becoming easier for we are surrounded by this Golden Flame in all its beauty and intensity right now. Archangel Michael asks that you reach out and embrace this Golden Flame of Love and Abundance into your Heart. Release all the old illusions of pain and suffering and embrace the Golden Light into your Being. Paradise is within your hands right now.....if you make that choice...if we all make that choice...Now.

And so, it is so important that we make that choice and we do not allow ourselves to fall into anger and depair and states of lack and fear. For, as we feel and think now, so we are making choices about where we will be. Know that to create Harmony and Peace in the outer world, we have to start with ourselves and create that Harmony and Peace in the Inner World. And if you hold that Peace and you allow yourself to be filled with the Golden Light, you will begin to see Paradise manifest in your life.

Here is an image that I took at Iguacu. I was delighted at how many butterflies there were just flying around all the time in this Paradise place. They represented such Peace and Harmony. Here is an image I took of a butterfly that sat on my foot. They were quite happy to sit on humans. When I had lunch outside, I had to compete with the bees for my dessert, and there was always a butterfly or two that wanted to sit on me! Truly, Paradise is here if we can just Feel the Love and activate the connections that are deep within Us, still!

So, in the next few days, be at Peace within yourself, be playful, and know that Paradise is manifesting on Earth and that it needs all of us to hold this Dream so that it can manifest as our New Earth reality!

And here is John Denver singing "Amazon". I featured this song once before, but since my visit to Brazil this song has so much more meaning. It is about how we create Paradise.

18th June : A Powerful Wave of Unconditional Love and Harmony from the Great Central Sun : This is just a brief update to share with you that as of this morning, a Powerful wave of New Light and Sound has reached the Earth from the Great Central Sun. As this wave of Light and Sound embraced me, I found that it was Pure Unconditional Love, and that it was bringing the New Information codes for the changes on our Earth at this time.

This is powerful energy, and the best way to cope with the power is to be open and not to resist. The new Love Energy in the form of information codes, is bringing the energy of Change. In the wake of the Venus Transit, the new wave of Unconditonal Love carries powerful new information for the Grail energies and the Twin Flame energies on the Earth. If you relax into the energy, you will feel a warmth and a love that will penetrate deep into your Being.

However, if you are still holding onto illusions and fears, you may find that this energy will de difficult to handle. It is, above all, a HARMONIC energy and it seeks to create Harmony. At this time, if anything is in disharmony it will surely be shown up in order to be balanced and brought into Harmony.

So, you can expect to see issues around Harmony and Disharmony, and you are being given an opportunity to bring Harmony and Love into your life in new and significant ways. It is a time to really feel and enter into the Twin Flame energies in your own Heart, and to feel the Powerful and Loving Union of Divine Energies within you. Again I would recommend the "Sacred Heart" meditation for aligning and harmonizing the energies.

As we move towards the Full Moon and the Solstice on the 20th, I feel that this will be an intensely Sacred time, a time of powerful energies of Peace and Harmony. It will be a significant time for the Planet and for each one of us on our Journey of Change and Transformation. For Peace will surely Prevail on Earth. It is Time, and the New Light Codes for Peace, Love and Abundance on the Earth are streaming from the Heart of Source through the Great Central Sun to our Blue Star Earth to be recieved by us as Blessings in our Lives.

We are indeed Greatly Blessed at this time.

June 16th : Releasing the Last Illusions and Dreaming in the "Now"..... : This has been a particularly hard week for me, and when the energies get this tough it usually means that something is up or moving in the energetic realms. I see that Pluto has moved back into Sagittarius for a last go around, and will be there until the end of the year! What this means is that we are being given a last opportunity to face our illusions and then redefine who we are and what we want, before we fully enter into the new consciousness. Of course, the new energies are also streaming in, and so the tension arises as we have to deal with the last vestiges of the old while trying to adapt to the new. No wonder it feels difficult!

We have been dealing with illusions and releasing them for quite a while now. This time we are passing through now is that time when we get to finally confront those illusions that were most dear to us, those that we resisted letting go because they somehow defined who we were in the old energy on a deep level. And now, we are forced to confront these deep illusions, and it can be quite painful to now release these illusions in order to be free to create in the New Earth energy.

Archangel Michael has spoken about how we need to define ourselves and live our passions, in order to be able to flow with the new energies of Abundance and Unconditional Love. And part of that process is looking at your dreams and desires. It was made clear to me this week that many people are still holding onto dreams that no longer fit with who they are now. We have all changed and transformed in the last several years, and we are different. We might ask ourselves if we are still holding onto dreams that belong to who we were years ago, and that might have no relevance to who we are now.

This is one of the reasons for the "stuck" syndrome that so many of us are having to cope with right now. We have run out of dreams and have nothing to move us forward, and so we are falling back on old dreams and desires that are no longer appropriate to who we are now. In this case, your I AM cannot work with the desire as it has no connection to the Now and the Present, and the flow of abundance cannnot manifest that desire into present form.

So, Archangel Michael encourages us to define ourselves, to define who we are now and what that person would dream and desire for themselves and for the Planet. And, if we do not define ourselves and our passions, we may allow others to define us, or we may become stuck in past definitions of who we were that do not allow us to grow. It is vitally important now that we come fully into the present and accept and acknowledge who we are Now in this Present moment. As we move towards 2012 and the cessation of time as a concept, it becomes essential that all our energy and our power be in the creative flow of the present moment, and that we are able to motivate our dreams and desires from that actual place of Presence that is inhabited by our I AM.

I guess this has a lot to do with self love, and learning to love yourself fully as you are now. Many of us don't want to acknowledge that time has passed and that at 40 or 60 we are no longer the same as we were at 20. Our culture encourages us to hold onto eternal youth, and many of us get stuck at 20 and our dreams with us. What you dream and desire at 20 may not be appropriate for 40 or 60, and we may need to go deep within in order to renew our dreams and discover what will make us passionate at the time and age that we are now. To do this may require that we actually sit and down and spend some quiet time with ourselves to ask our I AM whether the dreams and desires that we currently hold are appropriate to who we are now and are fully in the present reality of who we are. For it is only when we can locate that point of our Presence in the flow of Abundant Love that we can take our power and create and manifest our dreams and desires as present realities.

When we are fully in the Present, then we are able to find that flow and to shape and mould our reality from our desires and passions in an ongoing way. Then we move forward with the flow, and we feel the flow of abundant blessings in our lives. When we are stuck in the past, then we don't flow, we feel stuck and we are at the mercy of the currents of change and we bob around, up and down and sideways, never quite knowing where we are. But, when we find that point of presence in our Heart and in our Core of Peace and Light, then we can truly begin to define ourselves and who we are, and then we can move into the flow of Grace and Blessings.

So, for those of you who are like me, and are examining the last illusions in order to let them go, know that this is the time that Spirit is giving us to go through this process. Don't be afraid to release even your most cherished illusions, for they are probably the ones that need to go and that will finally allow you to move forward in freedom and joy. Allow yourself to be strong and powerful, but also open and vulnerable. Allow yourself to see yourself as you are, a beautiful being of light, and allow that this is the point from which you create. If you see yourself as anything else, and if others see you as anything else, then that is an illusion. Define yourself, know yourself, and create from that point of Light and Wisdom.

9th June : Creative Peace or Anger and Despair? The Choice that We Have Today. : Yesterday I had to write something for the work that I am going to be doing in Toronto, in Canada, in August of this year. Here some of what I wrote:

"Peace is not just the absence of conflict, it is so much more. It is a profound state of consciousness that expresses compassion, love and unity through creativity. In order to move beyond conflict in our lives and globally, we need to enter into this state of creativity, harmony and peace."

This seems especially important as we move through this difficult year of new choices and new beginnings. As I look at the media news I see evidence of deep depair and anger. Yesterday, in Japan, a man in his twenties went on a rampage randomly killed people in a city suburb. This is not simply a Japanese phenomenon, it relates to similar incidents in other countries, where young people seek violent ways to express their anger at the seeming pointlessness and struggle of their lives, whether it be through shooting bystanders in schools or malls in the USA or Europe, or the xenophobic violence that has plagued my own country recently.

And so it seems that we are being overwhelmed with anger and despair at the way we live...global warming, food lack, high energy prices, unemployment...and so it goes on. Much of these stresses and strains relate to the fact that Planet Earth has changed irrevocably and we have become a Planet of cities with all the problems that go with high density living in modern cities in the 21st century. We seem to be locked into a struggle for our very survival, and we don't feel as though we are winning. The Ascension process is making us more aware, but not necessarily giving us the tools to handle this new stage of our evolution. We have healed ourselves and our inner child, but we still feel unhappy and lonely. We have seen "The Secret" and we have used all the techniques, but we still don't seem to have enough in our lives.

And so, I will suggest, that in the next phase we need to enter into this new consciousness of Creative Peace. We have to accept that we have chosen, as a Collective, to create and inhabit cities, and we have to find ways to make living in our cities a way to live in Paradise. When I worked with Archangel Michael in Brazil with the Golden Flame of Abundance and the Paradise Codes in Amazonia, it became clear to me that "Paradise" is a state in which all things are in Balance and Co-exist in a flow of energy and joy. In our cities, this cannot be said to be true. We have created these vast areas where we live together, but we have yet to discover how to create that flow between ourselves and others and between ourselves and nature that will constitute Paradise consciousness.

It will not just happen one day, it will happen when we, as a Collective, make that choice. It will happen when we, as Lightworkers, wake up sufficiently to become conscious of where we are putting our energy. Whether we are fearing and hoping for great destruction of our cities in "natural" disasters, or whether we are moving into Creative Peace and beginning to dream a new dream for our cities. Awakening the "Paradise Codes" for our cities so that we can create a flow and a balance that will bring meaning and light back to the lives of people who live in cities. We cannot all live in small towns and tropical islands, the majority of us live in big cities and it is here that we will create Paradise.

Now, as I was looking through the media yesterday, I also came on an article entitled "Eco-architecture not ego-architecture". It was about the ex-mayor of the Brazilian city of Curitiba, Jaime Lerner, and his experiences in bringing positive change to Curitiba. Now this caught my eye, because I was just recently in Brazil and I was impressed with the energy and the vision of the Brazilian people. Angela, who organized our Brazilian workshop, is from Curitiba, and she is a very positive "can do" person. In fact she was amazing. We decided at the last minute to visit Foz do Iguacu, and Angela had about 5 weeks to organize a workshop in another city, find the venue, make the arrangements and find the people to attend. As you can see from the images in last month's Earth Log, it was wonderful, so it seems that the people in Curitiba are on to something maybe....

So, here are some positive words of wisdom from Jaime Lerner in Brazil:

"Curitiba is not a paradise. We have all the problems that most Latin American cities have. We have slums. We have the same difficulties, but the big difference is the respect given by people due to the quality of the services which are provided.

We are coming to understand that to change a city you need political will. Secondly, you need a good strategy. Then you need solidarity and a feeling of co-responsibility.

"I'll give you an example of co-responsibility. When I was governor, we had to clean the bays. In our state we proposed to the fishermen the equation of co-responsibility. We said : "If you catch the fish, the fish belong to you. If you catch the garbage we are going to pay you. The more you fish garbage, the more money you will have." The more they cleaned the bay, they more fish they had. That's a win-win solution.

"After working in cities for nearly 40 years I am telling you that every city can improve its quality of life in less than three years, no matter the scale or the financial conditions. All you have to do is build a good equation. Creativity starts when you cut a zero from your budget.

I would say there are three key issues that are important, not only for the city itself but for the whole of mankind. One is the problem of mobility. Another is the problem of sustainability. The other is social diversity and co-existence.

We are afraid now of climate change and the question of sustainability. There is a feeling that we are all terminal patients and there is nothing we can do. But there are lots of things we can do. I have been in meetings all over the world about new materials, green buildings, new sources of energy, recycling - they are important but they are not enough. When we realized that 75 percent of carbon emissions come from the cities we realized we had to work on the concept of the cities.

.....

A city is a structure of living and working together. I have realized after all these years that a city that has a good quality of life attracts jobs. People don't want to invest in places if there is no quality of life.

Everything (in Curitiba) started with the children. We started to teach the children in every school over six months, how to separate the garbage and the children teach their parents. So that's why the city of Curitiba since 1989, for almost 20 years, has had the highest rate of separation of garbage in the world, at 70 percent. Everything starts with the children. I'm obsessed with the idea of how to make the children understand their own city, becasue if they understand their city, they will respect it better.

......

Every city need to change in some way. My feeling with mega-cities is that they are losing time. We are living here, working there, taking leisure time in other places. One of the reasons I am proud of my city is around 80 percent of people are living in diverse neighbourhoods. If you want a human city, mix urban functions, mix incomes, mix ages. This is good for co-existence, for social diversity and it reduces violence. We realize that the city is what brings solidaity. Cities are not problems, they are solutions.

Quality of life and diversity is beautiful. I would say that a city that is committed to its future, in which the people are most important, is a beautiful city. We have to change from "ego-architecture" to "eco-architecture"....

So, at this time of change and choice and new beginnings, I think we have to be awake enough to move through the "illusion" that we are all "terminal patients" as Lerner puts it, and see that we have the ability to create something different. We can only do this if we release the fear and anger and the doom and gloom, and begin to create positive solutions from positive energies and beliefs about our future on this Fifth Dimensional Planet.

We can do it for our Children.

We can do it with our Children.

We can start today by making the choice to move into a state of Creative Peace and Harmony and Love.

It is our Choice.

7th June : Authenticity, Passion and Defining yourself through Creative Choice: At this time when the planet Venus enters into its transit of the Sun, we are indeed feeling the dance of energies as a need to be true to ourselves and to define our authentic self through our passions and through our choices. The dance of the Divine Masculine and Feminine creates a magnetic "pull" of energy that urges us to bring our inner flames into alignment and to create through absolute authenticity to Who we Are at this time.

The problem, as I am experiencing it in my own life and as I see it in others, is that the old energy patterns keep arising and trying to pull us back into dramas and illusions that really have no place in the Fifth Dimensional Consciousness. It seems really hard to keep focussed on the New Earth and the Higher Energies of Unconditional Love and Peace, when all around us the stress and tension of the old as it falls apart seems to claim our focus and attention.

Archangel Michael is aware of the hard work that Lightworkers are doing right now to lift the Collective Consciousness fully out of the old energy and into the New Energy of Oneness. And so, he has shared with me that in this year of 2008, the Indigo "Mission Activation" will enter its next phase. The Indigo children who incarnated in the 1970s came as a soul group with the express purpose of "driving" the Transformation of the Planet into a Fifth Dimensional Paradise Home. Now, these beings are in their late twenties and thirties, and they stand poised to enter into mainstream society and lift the energy through their Passion and Commitment to a new way of life. Even now, Indigo adults are being guided towards the places where they can best serve the Planet and her evolution by being true to themselves and their vision for life.

This takes courage......as Lightworkers and as Indigos, as both groups work together, we have to keep choosing and defining, choosing what we are and how we will live our lives. We cannot allow others to define that for us, and we cannot expect others to define what our lives will be for us. At this time, the Golden Twin Flame energy needs to burn strong and true within us, so that we can be our authentic selves. And we will hear the voice of our authentic self when we listen to that voice in the Heart and we follow its guidance.

You might ask, what is my authentic self? ....and Michael would say that your authentic self is that light at the core of your being that expresses Love and Creativity, and that came to the Planet with the express aim of assisting in creating the New Dream for Planet Earth. That is, in effect, what all souls come to earth to achieve, it is just that most forget and become unconscious of Who they Are. Now, as we awaken and become Conscious, we can return to an awareness of why we are here, and we can discover that through our Passions. Your soul will tell you why you are here and what you need to do to express that. Each of us has a unique set of gifts and talents that we can contribute, and each of us can work with others to ensure that those gifts and talents are expressed to the full in the work of Co-creating and Dreaming. At this time, it is good to go within and dream a little, ask your soul to show you why you are here, and then make the choices for your life that reflect your awareness of that knowledge of self.

I can share with you my own experiences recently. When I came back from my recent trip to South America, I was so joyful to be home. I think anyone who is away from home for a while recognizes this feeling of "home". I really enjoyed my trip and the people that I worked with, but I felt this deep joy at being back in my own space with my own people. And I thought to myself, yes, Africa is my passion, with all its problems and issues, it is the passion of my heart. And then, you know what, a little voice in my heart said, no, the Planet is your passion! And I realized that the voice was right. Africa is familiar and I have heart roots here, but in truth my passion lies with Planet Earth and all her people. My passion is for Peace and Love, and for Children, that they might inherit an Earth filled with Peace and Love, and so the work that I do is a reflection of my passions. And, I do need to keep reminding myself that this is Who I AM, and this is why I am here, so that I do not fall into illusions and old patterns of separation that are so strong at the moment. They are strong because we are working to finally release them, and with help of the Indigos, this will be the year of the "big push" or the "big lift", as we finally see Earth's consciousness lifting into the Higher Dimensions.

So, I thought I would like to share with you some new images of some of the things that make me passionate about Who I Am right now. The first one is thr group of Children that I work with in the Starchild Global Children of Africa project. The picture is taken in our Organic Vegetable Garden.
