We have been asked in this section the following questions: What is the momentum attribute for 2007? Spiritual discernment. What aspect of spiritual growth is it important to master this year, in preparation for the awakening of the masses in 2008? Intuitive discernment. What are the biggest challenges for North America - Canada, the United States and Mexico - in terms of politics and weather changes? Moral discernment.

Greetings, dear ones, from the Brotherhood of Light! We gather in our circle of no-time, which we say is your "now" time. Yes? All time is now, has always been now, your every moment of consciousness is trained on the current second at hand. All that you command is your present moment, for in linear time the past and future are not in your reach. Are you getting this message? You have been practicing being in "now time" through every minute of every lifetime! (Chuckles). We ask you to put aside the clocks and watches that tick, tick, tick to a timeframe that is gone. Imagine being guided by the sun and moon, or planning a task that takes you from breakfast until lunch, after which you can nap. To quote Edgar (Cayce), one of our beloved Christ incarnates of the 20th Century, "After breakfast, work a while. After lunch, rest a while. After dinner, walk a mile." Can you imagine a life without hectic schedules, stressful deadlines, and with ample sleep?

Yes, whatever you imagine you can create! Once you begin to use your innate gifts and talents, your only limits will be that of your own imagination. Imagining, or creating holographic concepts in your mind, is the first step in the materialization process. Since everything is speeding up, the time it takes to manifest is also speeding up. So, be careful what you think about and what you wish for, because whatever you focus on will come in faster and faster in the next few years.

In the year 2007, you will find a need to hone your spiritual discernment, and listen to your intuition to guide your actions. Those who are still unaware, blindly following tribal and social direction, will become more polarized, more distant, more fanatical in their attempts to cling to their negative views and values. They will still be living "below the belt," functioning energetically from the three lowest chakras. Since the new energies are inviting the upper chakras to open and flower, those of you who understand this are seeking a more heart-centered path of expression. This will lead you to establish a higher level of morality, ethics and virtues in your current cultures. How to bring this in? By raising the bar in your own lives, by living with a higher moral standard, which will require those around you to do the same. Rather than a "trickle-down" effect, see it as a "trickle-up" wave of change! In other words, 2007 will see a big split away from the old, conditional, fear-based thinking, and reveal much darkness that started coming to light in 2006. Yes, this "higher mind-set" will begin shaking global politics into a new level of integrity by 2008. Isn't it about time? (Chuckles.)

Many religious and channeled sources give different information in regards to future predictions. This can be confusing, and you must use your discernment to determine what resonates for you personally. We would like to explain why we have given each year the momentum attributes we chose. To review in brief, we labeled 2003 as the Year of Change, followed by 2004 the Year of Action, and 2005 the Year of Integration. Thus we honored your need to change, then the actions needed to implement those changes, and the third year to fully integrate those changes into a new comfort zone. The Year of New Intent, 2006, was your platform for taking your heightened awareness and focusing on your new intent to co-create a brighter future. Once you took responsibility for what needed changing, implemented those changes, assimilated them into a new comfort zone and gave clear intent for a new soul-directed life, what then?

Now you must learn to navigate these new waters with spirit-guided intuition!

Yes, developing spiritual discernment is vital at this stage, so that you know where to place each foot as you step forward, moment by moment, action by action, decision by decision. Once you have fully integrated your seven core chakras, you will go beyond "passing everything through your heart." You will expand all seven into the eighth chakra, creating one big, unified chakra field that connects you to your cosmic self, to Higher Self. You will indeed walk harmlessly, dear ones, for you will finally, fully feel God's vibration within your expanded body.

Do you follow?
Yes, follow your own leader!

We are so proud to change this above sentence, finally, from "We hope you will!" Do you see your own progress, dear beloved humans? Do you feel our love pouring down upon you? We are so proud of your accomplishments! Now we ask you to hone your internal radar, to feel your way through and not just think things through. Start to rely on and trust your intuition. Do what feels right to you, not what others may see as right. There is such a big difference between being self-guided and self-motivated, rather than being buffeted along by happenstance and circumstance. Which do you choose? One is walking with power, the other is being blocked by fear. Yes, your fears block your inner magnificence, your inner power, your self-worth and self-trust. When you doubt, at any level, you are self-limiting!

We would also like to remind you that each person has their own timetable and individual lesson plan. Don't feel anxious about reading the above yearly list of energetic attributes and think you've missed the boat. You haven't! We offer this list to give you a roadmap, to show you the basic steps to effectively, efficiently change your life for the better. Whenever you become aware is appropriate for you. Whenever you start seeking, whatever you start seeking, is appropriate for you. It is this incredible diversity built into your species that is part of the miracle of being human! You all have the same basic physical and energetic structure, but each life is a clean slate, a chance to move forward and upward with full untapped potential. What divine creations you are!

For those of you already doing what you are meant to do, 2006 brought in a new level of abundance. Lightworkers who built a strong foundation and prepared well are seeing the positive manifestation of their dream goals. A wonderful wave of appreciation will build for those holding their holistic work with the highest integrity. As the energies rise, dear ones, you will be more and more needed. Your energetic talents and tools will receive wider acceptance, as people start to feel what you are doing.

Finally, your healing work can move forward without you fearing that you will be beaten, exiled or burned at the stake! Yes, now that the tribal fear factors of ignorance, prejudice and superstition are melting from the equation, science and spirituality will begin to meet and merge. It is only when you bring science and spirituality together that the invisible will become known and change what is known about the visible.

In the next five years, much of your scientific knowledge will be challenged and found lacking. The evidence of global warming will be more dramatic at the poles than at the equator. As the earth's electromagnetic grid structure is constantly readjusting and retuning itself, you will continue to see fluctuations in the location of magnetic north. Yes, at the poles, your compass readings will prove less reliable than your GPS systems.

The Millennium Shift is happening globally, dear ones, not just in one area of the world. Nature will adjust and so shall you, but you will soon face a need to clean out more than just your drawers and closets. You will need to "clean up" your relationships at all levels, from personal to political.

Don't just make peace with your neighboring countries, make friends with them. Heal the borders, don't build more walls! You will need to blur those borders as the earth keeps shifting, for the friends you make now may soon be your next-door neighbors! (Chuckles.) You will learn to adjust, dear ones, for as we said, the transition is happening even more smoothly that we had foreseen. Don't get discouraged, for there are so many more levels in play than you are aware of. Don't forget to allow Divine Timing to play its role, for all that happens is ultimately for your highest good.

WEATHER & POLITICS

We have mentioned before that weather and politics will be the two major forces that shape your history over the next five years. As everything else on the planet, politics will have to bend to the weather! Yes, you are now seeing a remarkable thing occur that has never happened in recorded history - your arctic poles are melting. Also, trapped water from land-based glaciers will flow into the ocean system, raising its volume, its height, its temperature, and inevitably, affecting the deepest currents and saline levels.

Mexico is small and exposed in land mass, but well-grounded by its ancient spiritual sites. Those will become revealed and activated by intense weather (yes, good always comes from bad!) to harmonize both the upper and lower halves of this continent. This native culture is deeply connected to the earth, and will weather change gracefully.

Canada, you have already begun to see your permafrost melting. Different animal and plant species are dying off quickly, as their habitats are collapsing. Watch the signs of change and stay flexible, dear ones, for your operative word is "quickly." You will see clearly what is happening and know how to consolidate your resources. Not only will you demonstrate the heights of caring and sharing, you will help warn the world that this global warming is only a temporary transitional phase between naturally recurring ice ages.

America, you are watching plant and animal species fall ill as rising temperatures augment the damage from toxic poisons in your water tables, which are harming your ecosystems. Keep looking for new ways to tackle these problems. Your innovations will benefit the world. (Hint: Look to your young adults. Respect their "out of the box" approach, for they will see what you cannot. The next generation will discover ways of cleaning up the earth that you will find truly amazing!)

Energetically, Mexico is the most ancient country of the North American triad. Canada is second, the next-older adult, with a more laid back "live and let live" attitude. The United States sprawls in between, the youngest country, still going through its throes of adolescence. Its creation as a self-governing democratic state with freedom for all was a turning point in modern history. Strong and idealistic, its puritanical roots on the east coast forced the forward-thinkers to move westward. This lovely melting pot of humanity quickly became a world power, and recently the world's problem child.

Now the world looks on as that democracy is being eroded, wondering when the American people will wake up to the truth. Indeed, by 2007 their government may be in turmoil over what was uncovered in 2006. The major future potentials indicate that impeachment may terminate this current government's reign. Or it will continue to limp along, preaching fear so that it can continue to justify war. This debilitating situation will be complicated by several weather crises, the combination of which will affect America's economy in a negative way.

The hurricane seasons will continue to intensify from September to November, affecting the Gulf Coast area, Mexico, Cuba, the Caribbean islands, Central America, and the southeastern coast of South America. Earthquake activity may rise along the upper coast of California, Oregon and Alaska, probably in the latter half of 2007. Again, coastal areas will be hardest hit. Dear ones, you have extensive geological knowledge and good warning devices. You have seen the need to coordinate your scientific groups at a global level, for indeed the weather is becoming global in its activity. Preparing in advance will avoid much chaos and loss of life in all countries.

Plan out your evacuation routes, make sure all can get to safety. Educate the public about the warning signs of sudden climate changes. Preparedness is the key. Getting along with your neighbor, at every level, will also be a big key! Once your governments are truly devoted to what is best for all peoples, each weather crisis will become a global orchestration of rescue, relocation and repair. The more this happens, the more the global priorities shift, the more obvious it will become that your resources and manpower are needed for saving people rather than waging war. Again, looking at future potential threads of events, we hope that in this lifetime you choose the future potential of laying down your weapons and refusing to fight any more. If enough people reach this point in their spiritual discernment, war will have to fade away, simply because you won't allow it in your collective midst.

Sure, you're probably thinking, sounds nice, but what a pat answer and what an unreachable goal. No, dear children, we are speaking here about critical mass. For example, terrorism is a global issue, and will be fully released from the human equation when enough people release their ingrained hatred against others. How to create this global level of spiritual harmony? Whatever it is, religious issues, land or property squabbles, find common ground! Work together! Agree to resolve things in a peaceful manner. No issues will be fully healed until enough countries align together to diffuse tensions in the world. If enough countries, though a common conduit such as the United Nations, can raise the bar of morality, values, and what is acceptable behavior, yes, spiritual discernment will become the ruling force!

Terrorism needs to be seen from the global perspective of criminal acts against all peoples. Your police forces and intelligence communities need to work together by common consensus. This will help negate the fear aspect of "the war on terror." Dear ones, do you really need a war between countries over this, when banding together will make terrorism unacceptable to all? The mentality of a war on terror, a war on cancer, a war on drugs, a war on this and a war on that, this war mind-set needs to be transmuted off the planet. All of the problems we just listed are common issues that each individual country is having trouble conquering (chuckles.) Together, you could make so much progress, so much more quickly!

We would like to point out that all is as it should be. These global political posturings are making you wake up to realize that all life is precious, all life is sacred. One Iraqi life is as indispensable to God as an Iranian, a Jew, a Palestinian, an American, a French, a Canadian, and so on. How many more hundreds of thousands of killings will it take for you to reach a world consensus that such violence should not be allowed?
Dear ones, at all levels you face life and death stakes. War is actually not your biggest problem. Are you aware that an average of 8,000 people die of AIDS every day? That's three million people lost to just one disease every year around the world, and those numbers are rising. Here are the major issues your planet faces: Weather, war, starvation and disease. What's the one man-made thing on this list you all created and can therefore eliminate? Yes, war! Now we have a question for you - if you gave up war, how much money, manpower and resources would you then have to apply to healing those other issues? Yes, dear ones, ahah...! When stacked up against all your other emerging priorities, you will come to realize that war is not economically feasible any more.

All of these global factors are a beautiful weave of increasing drama, forcing you to choose either the negative chaos or a higher spiritual moral ground upon which to stand. We will also point out that the global accomplishment of spiritual discernment will require that this current chaos to be played out. Please, do not be discouraged. Start small, start at home. Remember that a global shift happens one heart at a time. Be willing to help each other in times of need, no matter whom you are or where the need may be. Take war off the meeting table and you will see new paths to peace. It will cost time and effort, but many, many lives will be saved.

Remember, dear ones, to be guided by God's will is simply to give and receive only love. That is the one and only commandment that rules God's greatest firmaments. If you can do this one thing, take on this one perspective, to be kind and loving, oh, how contagious this energy is! It begs to be returned! It will spread, dear children, it will spread. And quickly, too, faster than you can imagine. So start imagining it, quickly, all of you, NOW! (Chuckles and a big hug.)
