EARTH LOG

OCTOBER 2007

by Celia Fenn

October 28th : The Joy and Compassion Choices : I don't know about you, but I found the energy over the Full Moon to be very intense and difficult. In fact, for me it was a point where I felt my energy dropping and I became tired and a little depressed. So, since we passed through the Diamond portal, this is not an energy that I choose to indulge in my life. It may still be the energy that defines the Planetary emotional body, this being the reason why it is so strong at Full Moon, but I know that I need to make new choices for my life.

Archangel Michael has been talking to me about the New Earth choices...Joy and Compassion, and I was delighted when two friends mailed me on the same day with pretty much the same idea as to how we need to go forward into the new energy.

My friend, Szuson, from New Mexico in the USA, mailed me about her choice to re-pattern her relationship life so that all her relationships could be held in Joy and Unconditional Love. She was determined not to let her past experiences of loss and woundedness affect her present life. Right! The only choice to make right now. If we choose for Joy and Unconditional Love, we place these energies into the Planetary Grid or matrix. That is what the Earth needs right now, as much Love and Joy as it can get. And each of us can choose individually for Joy in our own Lives.

People sometimes ask me "how"?, when they are feeling so low, or they have to pay the rent and they have no money, or they are feeling sick, or fearful or confused. Well, this is the time you need to make that choice. That is what I did when I felt my energy falling. I made the choice to "have a great time" and to feel joy. I chose to do things that brought me joy. Now, only you know what brings you joy. I chose to spend the day of the Full Moon working in my garden, a decision that was helped because we had a power blackout and I could not use my computer. Then, I spent the next day with a good friend. We laughed and shared some fun together. I played great music. Gradually, I felt my spirits lifting back into that place of joy where I choose to be. Its not about spending money, or getting drunk to have fun, if you are doing these things you are probably not in Joy. It is about finding out what your soul and spirit enjoy and that will lift you. The clues are in the Creative nature of the soul and spirit. Your inner being loves creativity, whether it is music or art or gardening or writing...whatever works for you. Even just listening to great music can lift your soul and spirit.

But, it is up to us to make that choice, and to make it every day.

Then, my friend Will from Michigan in the USA wrote to tell me his experiences of hearing the Dalai Lama speak about Compassion and how it affects our daily lives. I was delighted when he shared his story, as Archangel Michael oftens tells me that the Dalai Lama should be a kind of "role model" for those who would be spiritual leaders and teachers. What he means, as I see it, is that the Dalai Lama is both a Spiritual Leader and a person who is active in the real world. he leads in a spiritual way, but he also makes people aware of what is happening in Tibet and what needs to be done to assist the Tibetan people. He lives in both worlds, the Spiritual and the Physical. He is a "grounded" spiritual leader, and his teachings affect the daily lives of many people in positive ways, as does his presence when he speaks.

His words on Compassion and Love urged his American audience to live in these feelings and emotions, and to raise their children to experience them. It is Compasssion that will open our hearts and make us realize that we are not alone. We are One. We are part of the "Great Heart", and we can love and support each other, and especially the children of our planet.

Dear Lightworkers, now, at this time, expressing Love and Compassion in the Real World is so important. Being out there as a Light and Shining your Light is so important. Being able to bring Joy to Others is so important.

When people ask me why they feel so bad, I often say, because you have chosen to feel that way. It is not a conscious choice, maybe, but a past life decision that you made when you decided to accept the religions and prophecies that were focussed on the "end" of the Planet through War and Catastrophe. For many lifetimes, perhaps, you have seen life as a headlong rush towards some huge and transformative disaster where lots of people get killed. It is this belief in the Collective that political leaders who seek nuclear wars and world war III are drawing on when they attempt to create these scenarios. By accepting that there will be a great disaster, we are helping them to create such things.

Let it be now, at this time, that we as Lightworkers, give up the disaster and catastrophe perceptions that make us depressed on a deep level, and focus on the Joy of life.

I live here in Africa, and we have more problems than most people, but we can still make the choice for Joy and Love. I have many friends who are doing this. It is time for us all to make that choice.

So, to help you to get into the "spirit" of the Joy choice...here is a song from South Africa, from my part of the world. It is by Johnny Clegg. Thank you to Manfred Hauck in Germany, who reminded me of this music when I was in Germany. This song is called "Great Heart", and the recording is from a 2005 concert at Fancourt in South Africa. Don't miss the picture of Nelson Mandela, our own icon of Peace, Love and Compassion, especially for his work with children in South Africa.

I love this recording, it is sooooo South African, so what this country is all about for me, right down to the large African Mama with the Mega Voice! This is the South Africa that I love!

So.....here we are.....Searching for the Spirit of the Great Heart/ Under African Skies........Enjoy and may it bring you Laughter and Joy!

I can understand how these people feel, as I live in an area that has similar problems with fire. We have long hot summers that dry out the vegetation, and strong south easterly winds that fan huge out of control blazes. In addition, the increase of housing developments in the area means that more and more people are at risk in this traditional fire area. But, interestingly, we have a plant kingdom here called "fynbos" that relies on burning, because the fires are part of our ecosystem and part of their reproductive cycle. The seeds of some plants only germinate after a fire. So, we are learning to respect that ecosystem while also finding housing for people. We do this by removing alien vegetation which fuels runaway fires. The local vegetation burns very fast, and there is minimal loss of life and property. The aliens burn hot and long and cause all the damage. We work with controlled burns, and creating fire blocks. Of course, this is not always totally effective. There was a fire on "my" mountain, the Helderberg, the day after I got home, and now there is a big burnt black patch. But no lives or homes were lost. It is a problem that we all face, how to live on the planet and still to respect the forces of nature and the ecosystems of our home planet. It is one of the choices that we must make, how to live here in harmony with nature so that we can live in mutual respect, and can avoid these so-called "natural disasters", which are often no more than our disprespect for the forces of nature as we build and create our communties. It is time to change and to make new choices. It is time to hold our governments and our leaders accountable for the choices they make. They need to make choices that respect and honor the planet.

I received a mail from a member of the Eastern Shoshone nation in Wyoming, called "Healing Mother Earth's Sacred Sites". I have attached the mail here if you wish to read it at your discernment. I have posted the mail as I received it. Click here.

Here at Starchild, we are having to make some new choices too. Those of you who read the site regularly might have noticed that we have been suspended a few times, apparently for using too much of the server resources. We have grown to the extent that we need our own server. So, in the next 24 hours we will be migrating to our new server. We hope this will enable us to be more efficient, and we will have more bandwidth to do interesting things for the site.

Also, as we approach Full Moon on the 26th, I am sure most of you can feel the energy and the excitiement rising. At this time, Pluto, the planet of change and transformation is approaching the Galactic Center or Great Central Sun. The last time it was in this position was in December 2006, and it was the impetus for the Great Shift in Consciousness that we have been experieincing this year. And now, at this time, as we move through the Diamond Doorway into the Radiant Light, we are ready to embrace the full meaning of the "Great Shift".

We have, as a Collective, agreed to make the shift into the Fifth Dimension and expanded consciousness. We have agreed to embrace our Oneness and our Inter-connectedness. We Are All One. What happens to One, happens to All. We have agreed to open our Hearts and to embrace each other with Unconditional Love and Compassion. We have agreed to create Peace, here on our Beloved Planet.

This is what we have come here to do, to create a New Earth and a new society, and we begin with ourselves. We begin by being the change that we want to see on the Planet. We begin by opening our Hearts to ourselves, to our families and friends, and to those in our communities. And, as we shine the Light of our Radiant Hearts, we create a network of Light that shines around the Planet.

Now, at this time, this moment we can call "Zero Point", when the Full Radiance of the Great central Sun in Sagittarius encounters the transforming power of Pluto - now we are ready to see the shifts and to work for a New Planet. And yes, there is work to do. No one will do it for us. As the Hopi say " "We are the ones we have been waiting for." So, at this very special time of the Full Moon, may we make that step forward to respect and love our planet, to respect and love each other, to respect and love the elemental energies, and to strive to live in harmony with them through the choices that we, as individuals, make in our daily lives.

May we choose also for Joy and Compassion and Unconditional Love and Peace!

And so, at this special time I would like to share two creative works with you. The first is an image that I took this week-end of one of the children at the Project where I work. It was a special evening for the children, and this one child was too poor to afford a special outfit. So, someone had given her a purple scarf to put in her hair so that she could feel special as well. Like John Denver, I believe that this one child of the ghetto is all of our children, and that we need to create a planet where we can live with "no regret". We are doing it for all the children to whom we will hand over the planet when we leave:

The second is a song by John Denver himself. I meant to put something on the site on the 10 year anniversary of his death, but I was in the Netherlands at the time and involved in workshops of my own. So, in memory of John Denver, here is one of his last songs called "Amazon". It was part of the "Wildlife Concert" that was his last public performance. Thanks to Jeremiah Lindsay of the USA, who located this song on You Tube so that I can share the music and the video with you. Here are the words of the Song....for Full Moon on the 26th of October...and onto the 11:11 Stargate. May we take our power to Create a World of No Regret....only Shining Radiant Love. It is up to each one of us as Lightworkers to be that Light and Love.

October 18th 2007: Shifting the Internal Point of Gravity : When the Mind can find no answers the Heart must Speak..... : Well, here I am back home in Cape Town, South Africa, once again. It is good to be back home and to connect with my friends here. Europe was wonderful, and very beautiful in its fall colors, and I enjoyed being with all the wonderful Lightworkers. But, it is good to be back where the sun is shining and the late spring days are warm and the garden is still green.

I was urged to write this Earth Log entry the day after I landed in Cape Town, for Archangel Michael expressed concern at the number of people who are going into fear and crisis as this shift gets into full gear, so to speak. The center of functioning of the Human is shifting from the Head to the Heart. The Mind can no longer cope with the accelerated pace of change, and it can no longer provide that sense of security that it did when we lived in the structures of the Third Dimension. Heart time seems much faster than Mind time, and we are still learning how to pace our lives so that we can live in the flow of Heart energy without burning ourselves out with the intensity.

For, in the flow of "Heart Time", all feelings and emotions seems more intense as they are experienced both in the heart and the mental and emotional bodies. I would like to share with you two things that I feel are relevant for us right now. The first was a synchronicity - I opened a new 2008 Diary that I bought this morning, and on the first page was this quote from writer Joseph Campbell: " We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us." In other words, we must release all expectations created by the mind and allow the Heart and our Higher Self to lead us into the life that is what our heart and soul desires. The mind must release its hold and allow the heart and soul to become the center of gravity in the New Earth.

The second is a dream that I had in about 2001, when I first began the transformation channels with Archangel Michael. I dreamt that I was travelling along a road, and that all of a sudden it ended and there was nothing. I was standing at the edge of a cliff, and I knew that in order to move forward I would need to be able to fly. Become a Human Angel, in other words. And "flying" means to be able to live from the Heart, from that sense of "Oneness" and "Connection" that is the essence of the Fifth Dimension. The road represented linear time in the third dimension, and then, there was only a leap into the unknown...that is where we are now...learning how to fly.

But, in order to do this, we need to exercise our "wings" and our "heart muscle" and not let the mind continue to dominate our lives with fear illusions. For, in this new place of Creativity and Personal Power, where you focus your energy becomes what you create. So, if you focus on fear and anger and depression, that is what you will create.

Archangel Michael is aware that the intense pace of the changes has placed great pressure on all of you. This is unfortunately a "human" reaction to the pressures of social evolution. Can you accept that All is in Divine Order, and that there is a Greater Being who is leading this process? Can you accept that you have reached the point where you are able to enter into your new center of gravity and accept your power and create something new? Or will you fall into fear and believe that things are out of control?

Well, about a month ago I did, I felt like I was just spinning out of control and everything was going too fast. I just could not keep up. Well, I stopped trying, and allowed life to lead me a little. The results were interesting. I found my heart opening and my feelings became more intense, and more difficult to cope with because of their intensity. When the Heart opens fully, life becomes very intense and very deep. At this point we can fall into dramas, or we can take our power and know that what we are creating is in perfect order for us.

We are emerging as a "New Species"...we are living side by side with the ideas of the old. The old species was dominated by the mind, the new species is centered on the Heart. It is this new center that will create a global society based on Unconditional Love. It will come. We can contribute by learning to be "in our hearts" and learning to release the mind's fears and to replace them with the heart's love.

Flying home on the plane, I watched a movie called "Evan Almighty". It is a comedy that had quite poor reviews, and so I wasn't sure whether to watch it or not. I was delighted by the message. There was a man who went "out of his mind" to follow his heart, or what God told him in his heart. And of course, his life fell apart and everyone thought he was nuts, despite the miracles that kept happening. Basically, he was told to build an ark in a modern recreation of the Noah story. But, as "God" points out to him, "ark" stands for "acts of random kindness", and it is this upon which the changes in his life are built. And so it is the Heart that will show the way, and we will begin to learn the creative power of random acts of kindness, instead of the destructive power of the mind and its fear stories.

So, exercising our heart muscle means to focus our attention into the heart and to begin to see where we can exercise random acts of love and kindness and joy. Where we can let go of what the mind creates - fear, depression, anxiety, addiction....and move to what is real, the deep love that is the fabric of all creation. For we were created in love and we are love. That is what is real in this new place. If we can turn off what is not real, and focus on what is real, we will begin to get the idea. We will begin to do "the dance", as the movie ends with the "God" figure issuing an 11th commandment for all humans to do the "dance"...which becomes a joyous celebration of life itself and of our creative essence. Dance...sing....paint...write....make music...do the dance in whatever way you can.

If you can dance in your heart, you can create a new reality. And each one of us knows how to dance, we have just forgotten because we have spent so long in our heads thinking that we have fogotten how to move and dance and be in the sacred spiral of creation, where there is nothing to fear, only the experience of the deep joy of Existence and Gratitude for All That Is.

And so...here are two images from my Europe trip. The first was taken in Almere, Holland, at our Equinox labyrinth ceremony, it is me with a lovely lady who came to the ceremony. The energy was too much for her, and she fainted. But she got up and was determined to finish her walk. She was a Lightworker and she was going to hold her Light. Here she is with me after the ceremony, both of us with our roses and filled with joy of what we had created together:

Here are some images taken of the "Green Cathedral" which is in Almere Hout, also in Holland. As I was walking there with my friends Jeanne and Martin, we were "attacked" by a swarm of lovely red ladybugs...they walked all over us. We just had to laugh and laugh and laugh.....and that helped us to enjoy the space of the Green Cathedral, which is a work of art consisting of trees planted in the form of a gothic cathedral. It is quite an experience:

October 8th: The Creation Matrix and the Adventure Principle: October continues to be a time of pressure and change for all of us. As we move into balance within ourselves and move onto the new Creation Grid or matrix, we are being urged to release and let go of all our old energy programs and beliefs. For if we do not, we will continue to create these distorted patterns, and will not be able to reach the frequency or level of the new energy grids.

You cannot be in the New Earth energy and continue to create in a distorted way. That is why so many people are having to confront their own old energy patterns of distortion right now. As the Magdalena grids clear and come "online", those who have been using the old "feminine" patterns are having to confront what I would call their "victim" dramas. These are those creations where you star as the tragic victim of other people's actions and feelings. Of course, these are your own creations, and you have to take responsibility for setting others up to be the "abusers" so that you may play the victim.

This energy was made very clear to me in the past week on my trip to Montsegur in France. This was the place where the Catholics wiped out the Cathars, and firmly set the "victim/abuser" energy into the Earth's grids as they closed down the Feminine grid, except for the "victim" energy which was a distortion of the power of the Magdalena grid which carried the energy of the Divine Feminine. From this moment flowed the energy of the witch hunts and the persecution of the Feminine principle, as it manifest in its intuitive and spiritual power. It is this old and traumatized energy that is being released from the Earth grids right now as the Feminine principle returns in all its Solar Power.

How does one best handle these feelings and energies as they whirl around right now in the process of releasing and healing and clearing. Well, Archangel Michael speaks of the skills of Creating in Balance and of using the "Adventure Principle". When you create from a Heart that has balanced the Masculine and Feminine, and where both are equally powerful, then you will have no distortions. And, when you see life as an adventure in which you can play and have fun, you will avoid the need for manipulative emotional dramas as a way of creating with others.

So, at this time when we have crossed the 9-9-9 portal, and we approach the 1-1-1 at the beginning of 2008, we are in a time of great pressure and learning of new skills. On the 10-10, which will be on the 10th of October, I will be doing a group channel session here in Almere in the Netherlands in which Archangel Michael will help us to see how we can create beyond fear and the need for victim dramas. That time is gone, and is being replaced by a lightness of spirit and the fun and playfulness of our Creativity.

So, in order to show me how this is done, Archangel Michael took me on a series of adventures in Europe. The first was to France, where he gave me a series of meditations and visualizations that I will turn into a book. But the journey itself was a creative adventure that he called a "high speed pilgrimage", which was a kind of playful take on the idea of a pilgrimage. We covered nearly 4000 kilometers in five days. Now, I know that pilgrimages are traditionally not too comfortable, and the suffering usually is part of the process and is meant to teach patience and humility. Well, in the 21st century, it can be different. I left the Netherlands with my friends Jeanne and Martin in a comfortable air conditioned van and we traveled on modern highways. We took just one day to reach Mont St Michel.

Passing through the former World War zones of Ypres and Ghent in Belgium and the Somme and Normandy in France was quite heavy, and we were aware of the heaviness of the old grids that are passing away as we moved through them. We arrived at Mont St Michel in cold and windy weather, but we were so excited to be in this wonderful place that is the etheric sanctuary of the Archangel. But, no sooner had we got out of the car and started making our way to the mount, when the heavens opened and we were drenched! Michael explained that this was our "purification ceremony" before we entered the sacred area. hmmmmm!! Well, we were now cold and wet and discovered that Mont St Michel has many, many, many steps as you ascend up to the abbey church at the top of the Mount. hmmmmm. When we arrived there it was only to find that the church was closing in 5 minutes and we were not allowed in. Well, then it started to rain again. So....in this kind of situation you either lose your cool completely or you start to laugh. We chose to laugh...and it was that lightness that kept us going for the rest of the journey.

We spent the night in a "box hotel".....since we could find nothing else. It is an hotel created of modules or boxes put together. There is no reception as such, you punch your credit card into a machine at the door and you get an access number and a room number and that's it. Interesting experience! The next day we once again ascended to Mont St Michel for our experience of the Divine Masculine energy as embodied in this sacred space devoted to the Christ Michael energy.

Jeanne and I spent several hours exploring the Abbey Church and the earlier Romanesque church below. And then, it was on to Carcasonne. We traveled all night and arrived in the South of France, at Carcasonne at about 2 in the morning. No hotels available, so we slept in the van. Well, it was not the usual weather that you associate with the south of France. It had just snowed on the Pyrenees, and there was an icy wind blowing off the mountains, but we decided that it was just part of the adventure, and had a good laugh about the three of us sleeping outside a gas station with all the truck drivers for company! Pilgrimages were never like this!

The next morning we climbed up to the cite, or medieval fortress of the city of Carcasonne. There we visited the Basilica of Sainte Nazaire, dedicated to the Madeleine, like so many of the beautiful churches in the Cathar country. There was also a beautiful statue of Jeanne d' Arc, for whom my friend Jeanne was named, and this was meaningful for her.

After lunch we moved on to Montsegur, and arrived late in the afternoon, to see the most wonderful view of this mountain fortress which was the last stand of the Cathars. You might have noticed by now that there has been a lot of climbing and "going up" in this "pilgrimage". It was at this point that I had a small talk with Archangel Michael, to ask him if he seriously expected me to go "up there". Apparently he did! Ascension is surely hard work, literally and figuratively. So, after a restful night in the small mountain village of Montsegur, we set off the next morning for the Castle of Montsegur.

It was indeed up and up and up. About forty minutes of climbing to reach the fortress at the top. Thanks to my friend Martin. He didn't quite have to get behind me and push, but he kind of pulled me up on the mental level. So I was able to enjoy the beautiful clear energy at the top. It was an experience, for what we felt was the "switching on" on the Feminine Grid. The Cathar energies had finally been cleared, and all that we felt at this beautiful site was the playful and loving energy of the elementals. I even have some images of orbs that I took on the summit of Montsegur.

After we had descended, we set off for Rennes-le-Chateau and the Church of the Madeleine. This was a delightful small church, also on the summit of a medieval fortress town, but fortunately we could drive to this one. Rennes-le-Chateau is near to Limoux, and is a pretty little town that is peaceful and unspoilt. The church of the Madeleine itself is a small gem. Restored by le Pere Sauniere in the 19th century, it is a marvel of 19th visual art and decoration, as well as the center of many theories about where the money came from to finance this celebration of the Magdalene and the Grail. Here is a traditional image of the Divine Feminine as the "Virgin" from the garden of the church of Rennes-le-Chateau.

For me, this church was about the Sacred Marriage of the Masculine and Feminine energies, as Archangel Michael showed me how, within each of us, we become the Grail as our Heart's open to receive the Sacred Spirit of Source energy. And so, at the end of this pilgrimage, I had a clear understanding of the process of Sacred Union, and also how to adventure and create with the flow, and to enjoy whatever came to us on that flow of energy.

Then, straight back home via Lyon and Luxembourg. A few days at home in the Netherlands, and then off to Grosskochberg in Germany for two days of workshops. Grosskochberg is in what was the former East Germany, and the second workshop fell on the day that celebrates the falling of the Berlin wall and the re-unification of East and West Germany. So the symbolic journey to unite the Masculine and Feminine energies became a significant part of what we shared at this workshop as well.

Grosskocherg contains the Schloss or castle that was home to a friend of the German writer Goethe, and the castle has the most wonderful fairy gardens. I spent the first night there just wandering around the gardens connecting with the fairy and elemental energies.

It was a wonderful two days, culminating in the release of my German book, which was attended also by my publisher, Michael Nagula, and my translator, Anja Ida Becker. Thanks also to Brigitte Karras and Manfred Hauck who were the organizers at Grosskochberg, and for the tour of the wonderful city of Weimar. Here I am standing with Michael and Brigitte and Manfred on the steps of the Goethe house in the old city of Weimar.

Then it was back to Holland, and the next day I did a workshop with Janosh - on the Magdalena grids and on activating that energy and entering into the Sacred Heart energy in order to activate the Creation Matrix that is the natural "playground" of the "I Am". Then on Sunday, I attended a day workshop which Janosh presented at Driebergen in the Netherlands, on his new work on the Grail Codes......and so the adventures continue.

The energies at the workshop I did with Janosh were very intense, and the images came out a bit blurry as a result. But here we are together at the start of the workshop.

There is hardly time to think in this flow of heart energy, and what I am learning is how to balance the joy of the heart with the reason of the head. I think, maybe, that the flow is flowing a bit fast, and so I am trying to find time also for quiet reflection and peace. Today, I took a long walk along the dike wall of Gooimeer, near where I am staying, and took time to just enjoy the quiet and tranquil beauty of nature in this beautiful place.

It is indeed a time for Gratitude, for all that we are given, and that we can play in this beautiful place that we call planet Earth. That we can play together and create together, and that we can live with such radiant and beautiful and joyous love as that which is given to us every day. What a wonderful adventure is this gift called life!
