Channeled Message No.9 – Discover people ahead of their time & encourage them

Dear Ones:

Today there are movements afoot throughout your known world to make long overdue changes come about. Do not be frightened by this. You will not be asked to suspend your rational decision-making processes and trust something that makes no sense. When new concepts are presented to you, although they may seem new to you, they will also seem as if you have heard them somewhere before, but you cannot quite place them. Sit with them for a time and see if they ‘feel’ acceptable and trustworthy to your body and mind. Just because you have not heard them talked about in your nightly new broadcasts, does not mean that they lack logic or are contrary to your best interests.

Humankind talks about the ‘unknown’ but there is truly never anything that is ‘unknown’. Because you and we are all one, everything is known. The difference is that there are some pieces of information, some bodies of knowledge, that are not consciously known to the ‘you’ with whom you are most identified in this life time.

Today we speak directly to the parts of your ‘selves’ that have been valiantly trying to hold knowledge for just this time in the development of humankind in this dimension- just this time in YOUR development. These aspects of your ‘selves’ have been with you since birth but could not bring the information they were carrying to your conscious awareness until you allowed that it could be true. You are just now coming to this point in your human development.

Therefore, dear ones, there are many of you who will resonate with this message today. There are many of you who in fact have need of hearing this message so that you can put aspects of your internal knowing into their rightful places and not reject them out of hand. If you try to reject these essential pieces of your own wisdom, you will handicap your selves and make life more difficult than it needs to be.

You are all beings of advanced awareness with a deep desire for peace and inter-dimensional communication and sharing. Were you not of this nature, you would not have come to the planet Earth at this time in her development. To fully appreciate yourselves and therefore help your planet, it is time for you to accept your inner knowing, even if it seems to be contrary to what is societally acceptable, and to use it to help you to navigate the world in which you find yourselves functioning each day.

Once you do this, you will find more peace, for indeed, you have been feeling a growing dissonance with your culture. It has been becoming more difficult for you to find fulfillment in what you formerly thought of as your community. You have been feeling estranged and adrift. Society’s rationalizations for its lack of care of the most needy, for lack of care of the earth itself, its rationalizations for war, for more and more profit for fewer and fewer of your people, these are no longer enough for you to continue as you have been. And yet, you are not sure what the alternatives would be, should you choose to speak up and say that the emperor is not wearing any clothes.

The next few months will present you with alternatives that seem outlandish but that, upon reflection, actually make sense to you. Trust that inner knowing and make some changes. Take some steps to do things differently than you have been for the last few years. There will be alternatives, even if they look a little risky. Ask that your ‘higher selves’ guide you and go ahead and take the risks. Explore opportunities for action. Take back your communities. Take back your moral choices and your standards of ethics. Give yourselves license to speak up about what matters. Demand more. Ask questions. You do not need to be an expert to say what you want.

Believe us when we say that there are unrecognized, hidden experts in your communities who are waiting for you to give voice to what matters to you. Your voices will empower them and encourage them, to give you the information, the means, the necessary tools, to make the changes that will improve your collective world. They have been feeling just as disempowered as you have and they need to hear from you. They need to hear that what they have believed in for so long, without any support, is actually important to you. There is a whole underground society waiting to come to the surface and provide what is needed. Nothing is so encouraging as feeling needed and appreciated, and knowing that what you have to offer is valued and necessary.

Their work has not been about profit or social conformity. Their work is exciting and positive and will bring life back to your work communities, your families, and your young people. It will give them hope and lead them to a future that is peaceful instead of fearful and angry. It will teach them to cooperate instead of compete. Nothing feeds youth so much as challenge, hope and learning.

Many of you have been feeling at a dead end. You have not known where to go or what to do next. You have been looking around for inspiration and alternatives instead of ‘more of the same’. However, what has been ‘on the menu’ has not looked appealing. That is because only a very small percentage of the true potential of the ‘world kitchen’ is on the menu. A few of you need to wander into the ‘kitchens’ of your lives and begin to make suggestions. Get to know the chefs. Ask if you can help with the cooking. You may find that you have great ideas. You may find that your questions and desires inspire the chefs and help them to bring out menus that they had given up on or didn’t know they could even cook.

When great change is required in your world, the means, whether intellectual, physical, technical, spiritual or otherwise, are always already incubating amongst you. This has been true all through ‘history’ on the planet earth. These ‘way-showers’ are later identified in the history books as people ‘before their time’. They may have been before the times for their communities but they have not been before their own time! They were just the incubators. Hunt for them. Encourage them. Let them free! Celebrate them! If you are one of them, celebrate yourselves! Your time has come. The time for change has come – as it always does.

Peace

Hanging out in the ’spheres’

I’ve just returned from a heavenly holiday with a dear, dear friend. We headed over to Vancouver Island and spent the first night of our trip in a sphere, hanging in the trees in a country property a little north of Parksville, on the East Coast of the island. I had read about these two suspended, wooden spheres but I never dreamed that I would actually be able to stay in one of them. It was my friend who checked it out and I am so glad that she did.

We arrived in the late afternoon sun after having taken the ferry from Horseshoe Bay, the ferry terminal in West Vancouver, and driving North about 45 minutes from Nanaimo to Qualicum Bay. We received a friendly welcome from the visiting mother of the creator and builder of the spheres. We blithely signed the requisite waivers of responsibility before we met Tom, who walked us over to the sphere, answering our questions about how he builds them as we went – around the little pond and past the shower/kitchen/BBQ facilities and into the woods.

Eve and Eryn

There are two spheres that he and his wife Rosie rent out: Eve, the original, smaller sphere, and Eryn, the second and larger of the two where we would be staying. We followed Tom up the spiral stair that was wrapped around one of the three trees supporting the sphere, and across the short suspended platform outside the door. The door itself looked a bit like an aircraft door except that the outside of Eryn is made of Sitka Spruce strips, bent to follow the shape of the sphere.

This YouTube video give you an idea of what Eryn looks like from outside to inside. You can see how high we were off the ground! Once inside, I had expected that there might be more than the minimal sway that there was. The inside is decked out very much like the inside of a sailboat. The millwork was exquisite, right down to the hand-cast bronze hinges for the custom-made convex windows. I loved the finishing touches like the Runic symbols on each of the hinges!

Healing

We hadn’t been in the sphere long before Rosie showed up with a delightful basket of treats, most of which we stored in the tiny fridge and ate for breakfast the next morning. She stayed and chatted, filling us in on how the sphere came to be and her experience of living in the smaller one, Eve, for months at a time while she was recovering from cancer. Living in a sphere seems a perfectly logical thing to do when you’re unwell as the womb-like space seems to wrap around you and create a safe and restful environment, not to mention the trees keeping vigil outside the windows. I woke in the night and, looking out the window at the trees in the moonlight, felt an incredible sense of peace and goodwill.

Next: Customizing & moving to fiber-glass

On their web site (see above: ‘sphere’), Tom describes where his inspiration came from and how long he has been creating the spheres. I’ll let you read it directly and not repeat it here. As you drive into the property, you see a fiberglass sphere sitting in the grass. It has not yet been filled so we took the opportunity to sit inside it. When we breathed, we could hear ourselves, the way you do in the whispering gallery of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. It was like having an incredibly acute microphone and speakers in our own bodies. You can set up a wonderful vibration by toning! I can’t help but think this must have a positive effect on the body.

Before we left, we had a lovely long chat with Tom in his barn-like and chilly workshop. We had a chance to stand in the special-order sphere that he is just finishing off for a client in the UK who requested a ‘media centre’. The shell is fiberglass and all in one piece, while the millwork inside is done in black walnut. The client requested, and Tom designed and installed, a pop-up massage table under the floor and a custom-made Murphy-bed/conference table opposite the door. There are two work stations and facilities for light refreshments in a kitchenette area. Journalists will be able to take a nap, revive themselves with a massage, preview and edit their broadcasts and have a cuppa, all while being suspended above the action of what they are reporting on. Wow!

I can’t wait to see what comes next. I have the profound sense that he is a little before his time and that these pod-like spheres will have applications that we have not yet even drempt of. My friend had some vivid dreams and I awoke feeling refreshed and buffered from the world. According to the guest book, many babies have been conceived in the sphere and I wager a guess that many wonderful ideas have been conceived of in Eryn as well.

Soon, the spheres will be moved to a new home. The property they are on isn’t large enough to fit any more spheres and Tom and Rosie don’t own it. I wish them well in the search for the perfect new situation. I would have dearly loved to have stayed longer and would love to visit again, wherever it is they end up.
