Greetings, dear ones, from the Brotherhood of Light. We greet you once again with our energies and our love. We are with you, in everlasting support, as you weather the ups and downs of your planetary and genetic shift. Yes, they go hand-in-hand. And so do we, with you! (Chuckles and a big hug!)

For some years, we have given you counsel as to how to take care of your bodies in these cleansing times. Now that you are in the last quarter of the Millennium Shift, most of you are feeling your senses expanding, of wandering in and out of "fugue states", losing moments of time when your awareness was, truly, elsewhere. Some are starting to taste the various components in food, such as fats, sugars, and the chemical additives that you never used to recognize. Some people crave nothing but fruit and raw vegetables, while others need a sturdy grounding level of meat in their diet.

Let your body dictate your needs, dear ones. Eat when you are hungry, stop when you are full. Sleep when you feel sleepy, and sleep until you awaken naturally. Regular exercise also helps to "shake loose" etheric pockets of stress, strain and pain. If you cannot fit this in your schedule, how about five minutes on a small trampoline to activate your lymph system and get a quick cardiovascular work-out? Start providing for your body's needs as a priority, for in the rising energies many people will get sick. The parents of your "baby-boomer generation" are now in their eighties and nineties. Many of them will transition before the end of the shift. This is as planned, dear ones, and is quite appropriate. Remember, all is as it should be!

We have explained that the condition of your physical body reflects the condition of your aura. The more you clear both, the more you will become that which you seek. Yes, as the energies rise on your planet, your body will start to feel heavier and more pressurized. Why? Because it is denser than the new frequencies will allow. All life forms are shifting, but those who are aware have the opportunity to shift further than ever possible before. Those who are unaware will eventually succumb to their lessons, rather than master them. There is no judgment here, dear ones, but a fervent wish that you all find happiness in your lives. So do not be discouraged by the state of things. Keep imagining yourself healed and balanced, strong and healthy. See the highest potential for all those on your planet, everywhere. Keep in mind that all drama is increasing. Choose where and when to focus and expend your energy, for it will soon become more precious than money.

In most human societies, emotional self-control is not taught. Rather, not taught well. Again, we use your language to illustrate our point: "Men don't cry." Do you know what that does, energetically, to little boys? It often shuts down their heart chakra, for they feel that nobody cares about their pain. Little girls need to be encouraged to learn math and science, rather than being told they're not as smart as boys. Rubbish! The main differences between men and women are not only in size and strength, but their perspectives, as well. Women are tuned into the smallest of details, while men see the broader expanse around them. Women live mostly through their emotional bodies, while men live more in their mental bodies. Are you getting a sense of why mates argue, dear ones? (Chuckles.)

We ask you to seek a kinder tone, both men and women. Verbal abuse cuts through the aura as surely as a knife cuts through flesh. Both leave wounds, and eventually those wounds turn into scars. Some people go through so many rounds and rounds of arguments that it becomes their main mode of communication. They use the excuse of having lost their temper. What they actually lost was command of their emotional layer. In the non-physical realms, dear ones, that is a true lapse in polite behavior. In previous work we have explained the four layers of your energetic make-up as being physical (core), emotional, mental, and spiritual. In order to "raise your consciousness" and become self-realized, all of those PEMS layers must be cleared and balanced. Remember, the rising energies are forcing your bodies to detoxify, to release 3D density that cannot transition to a higher vibrational space. People with blocked chakras and meridians will not clear as well as those who have kept up with exercise, meditation, sufficient sleep, and proper diet.

As the energies build on your planet, your powers of creation and manifestation are increasing, as well. Always keep in mind the Law of Attraction: the universe delivers what you focus on. Do you always see your self as tired and sick? Then your body will oblige! The universe will oblige, too. Whether by illness or accident, you will find yourself in bed, tired and sick. When we speak of emotional self-control, that also includes what you are thinking in your mind, as well as what you express in words. Learning to control your thoughts allows you to stay in a better frame of mind. Yes, the more you keep yourself in the "joyful" frequency range, the more that better frame of mind will becomes a habit.

We ask you to cultivate joy for many reasons. A big side-effect to the escalation of time is that what you choose to manifest is coming in more quickly now. With that increase in pace, you will find out just how important it is to be in command of your thoughts and emotions! Remember, too, that once you learn a life lesson, Spirit will trot it by you one more time and whisper in your ear, "Now do it from the higher perspective you have achieved." The energy of that higher perspective will melt the emotional ties you had to that lesson when you were in 3D. That is your energetic graduation from each lesson!

When praying, communing or conversing with Spirit, it is wise to ask for your lessons to come in a positive manner. Why not ask for it - free will zone, right? Many of you still struggle with Divine Timing, which you cannot as yet see. Another leap in faith, dear one, keep turning over what you cannot yet see or do, surrender it to Spirit to take care of and bring in for you. But you must actively participate in the creation of your future, and do whatever you can to bring in that which you desire and require. If you sit around and do nothing but wish and hope, not much will happen!

If you show up every day to chip away at your future-building, you will succeed! You will be supported by Spirit with enhanced opportunities and results. And please, do not be disheartened if things don't move as quickly as you would like. Sometimes Spirit will "hold you in place" so that you feel like you're swimming in circles. In the workings of Divine Timing, it usually means that something is "cooking" for you that is not quite ready. Be patient with yourself and others, which is also a great way to practice being in "Now Time!"

The increasing waves of energy striking your planet are causing changes in your body that you may be interpreting as illness. As we explained in a prior article (Illusion and Confusion Part 1?) as your DNA is being stimulated by the new energies into new form, all old illness patterns that you carry from this life and prior lives are coming up to be cleared. Why? Because they are embedded in your DNA, and all levels must be cleared in order for you to expand into a multi-sensoried, multidimensional, energetic being. In the last quarter of the shift (2007 - 2012) many lightworkers will actively shift ahead of time, because the rising energies are now causing your physical cores to be cleared of 3D density. Since each of you clears in his or her own time and way, do not be concerned by dates. The energies blanketing your planet will eventually level off, and will hold your highest potential available for you until you are ready to expand. Do you follow this? We hope you do!

The most common illness pattern rising at this time (mid-2007) involves the chakra pair two and five - Sacral and Throat. Not only does excess internal pressure clog a pair of chakras, blockages can also prevent areas around the affected chakra from clearing. For example, throat blockage, whether etheric (emotional) or physical (as in whiplash), can block the entire head from clearing downward. Some people manifest jaw or teeth issues, some may have sinus complications, others end up with increasingly severe ear pain that seems to have no physical source. Throat blockage can also extend up to third eye and crown, or extend down from the neck area to heart below. The more you honor a daily clearing practice, dear one, the better you will maintain a good quality of life.
In order to balance the upper three chakras to the lower three chakras with heart (fourth chakra) as your new fulcrum, all of your chakras must be cleared and in good working order. To lead with your heart, you must be well-grounded (first or root chakra), have solid, loving relationships in your life and a good level of physical energy (second or sacral chakra), and deal comfortably with others in your society (third or solar-plexus chakra). Just by looking at your life right now, you can tell which of those areas of your body and your life still need work. And here is the major work, dear ones, we so love to give you homework! (Chuckles.)

The rising energies are requiring a full PEMS detoxification of your bodies. As this process occurs, you will transition from a below-the-belt life (living through your bottom three chakras in 3D) to living through all seven physical chakras mediated by your heart (fourth chakra) so that all you feel and do is of a loving nature. In order to succeed gracefully, what else do you need to do? Reverse the dominance of each chakra pair! Your lives in the old, fear-based 3D paradigm were ruled by your lower three chakras. That means root (survival) was in charge of seven (crown - divine connection, higher mind, thoughts and faith). Yes, you believed as the tribe dictated, or your survival was at risk! Your sacral chakra (family) ruled over throat (honest expression). Here, lessons in conditional love abounded, since intimate relationships often required that truth or need not be expressed, but hidden (especially by women), or that love would be withdrawn. Your solar plexus (third or tribal chakra) governed heart. Again, live by the tribe or die by the tribe applied here, and so fear dominated your 3-chakra system for many, many lifetimes.

Your outermost chakra pair, root and crown (1 & 7) must become crown and root. Faith and expression of that faith should not be curtailed by fear of survival. Sacral and throat (2 & 5) must switch to throat being in command of sacral. Truth and honest expression should not be limited by your intimate and family relationships. The innermost chakra pair, solar plexus and heart (3 & 4) must reverse dominance so that heart is in charge of your outer life and mediates your social behavior. The easiest way to accomplish this is to be aware of the patterns and recognize them when they arise. Consciously changing your own behavior will change the energy of those around you, too.

Some of you may be protesting, this is too much work! Times have changed, no more burning at the stake, stoning, or ex-communication in modern times, right? Well, not quite right. Religious wars are still occurring, senseless deaths are piling up, nobody is really right and all wars are really wrong. By this we mean, you may see different crises occurring in different places, but we can guarantee that if you dig deep enough (pardon the puns) you will find oil at the bottom of your biggest conflagrations. Oil, money, power. Now that Iraq is mostly rubble and their oil supplies cannot be tapped, what is gained? What is the game? If the US cannot have it, nobody can? Your soldiers are getting weary, dear ones, they want to come home. All the international forces, too, are tired of fighting an invisible foe, on top of all the physical discomforts and fears that go hand-in-hand with combat. It is very hard to keep up morale for a war that is senseless to justify. If the war in Iraq is expanded to a war involving Iran, you can be dead sure that the motives are oil-driven.

Some channels have predicted that World War Three is close in coming. We hope that enough of you get tired of all the fighting, and call out for war to stop. This movement must go from local to global, for your world leaders are mostly the old guard, to whom fighting is a sad but necessary part of conducting political business. This mind-set must be laid aside, or war will never end. But here's the good news: you lightworkers can change this whole negative scenario, and also soften the earth's physical changes! How?

Oh, dear, dear readers, you have no idea how beautiful, how gorgeous, how splendid your 7-17-07 Global Meditation truly was. There are no words to describe the sheer brilliance of the loving energy you all fed into the earth via her electromagnetic grids. Yes, please believe that your global hour of prayer made a difference, for it did! Many of you felt better for it, too. A peaceful quiet in the air, the sun shimmering brighter than normal, and your bodies at ease. So, we have a question for you, a challenge, if you will accept it (chuckles).

Could you arrange a Global Med every month? Yes, amongst ourselves we call it global medication. The levels of energy would rise exponentially from your devoted efforts, and truly usher in a time of peace. It is time for you lightworkers to sort out, at the global level, what to do for the best interest of the masses. All lives and life on earth would benefit from this loving exercise, and your transition to 4-5D would become an easy glide, rather than a bumpy ride.

Please, dear ones, do not go into fear just because we mentioned war. You already have plenty of that. There will be other concerns (weather and economics) which will also command your attention and energy. Remember, you create what you focus on. So envision a beautiful, pristine earth, spinning through space with all her inhabitants fed, housed and happy. Endeavor to make your home a sacred space, and let God's love expand from there. Witness what you must, help when you can, and let the rest go. We love you so dearly, for you are all just perfect as you are!
