The Choice Before You

Children, the choice before each one of you is simple. Either learn to live in harmony or you'll get a time out.

When you ask me. When you stand in the woods, barefooted, or raise your arms to the sky and call out, I hear you. My consciousness is a stream of moments in which human beings noticed me, spoke to me, caressed me gently. Over the years there have been a great many moments of deep connection between man and nature. Of late I feel ill. Constricted by bands of concrete and enourmous boxes and rectangles where my own geometry is so much more subtle and complex.

The choice before you is begin to love the people who are the most different from yourself, or hatred will orchestrate nihilstic chaos to the magnitute of completely beginning over again on the earth. I am comfortable with either choice, which is why this time I have insisted that you be given the choice. Dear ones, we are growing up. We are becoming more aware, together.

Starting over would give us the opportunity to change a great number of things quite rapidly. Not starting over is a very long and possibly tedious path. If you are not ready to accept a cataclismic cleansing of the Earth, then you must get to work right away.

The work may not be what you expect. It is important to listen closely to your higher self in these matters. The work may not be protesting big oil, as you've imagined, for example. The work may be showing up in a very different culture and getting to know people whom you've never experienced before. Above all, the work IS about creating bridges of love and light to unify the left brain and right brain of the planet -- the Western and Eastern Hemispheres of the Earth.

Children, the choice before you belongs to you. I ask that you make a conscious choice soon because when you are unconscious, the choices will be made for you.

Message from Gaia

In this dimension, the cycle has oscillated from chaos to order for all of eternity. This is the slow and rhythmic breath of the sleeping infant, Gaia. Her promise is LOVE and LIGHT. For Gaia, twas a spiral oscillation. With each breath the humans who comprise her mind were themselves spiraling through cycles of chaos and order: the perpetual dawning and darkening of their own individual consciousnesses.

As consciousness increased, among the humans emerged midwives of the dawn. They showed the sleepers how to breathe through the pain. They taught the sleepers to embrace the suffering, which allowed it to melt into compasion, which then showed the way toward peace and unity. For you see, the sleepers and the midwifes of the dawn are one. United in perfect balance.

At this time the humans may transcend the perfect balance and awaken as Gaia herself. At this time, the humans may choose to maintain both their local self AND participate in Gaia consciousness. This is a gift of living in the duality of the third dimension. As the number of midwives of the dawn increases, and as the pain of the sleepers decreases, and as the collective vibration increases, Gaia becomes increasingly aware of herself as a daughter in the universal cosmic family.

One way to describe the outcome of the current cycle of chaos in the human reality is that the humans are ascending from the third to the fith dimension. Think of this like an instrument playing first one chord and then another. The third dimension is material and the fith is ethereal. During the transition, dense energy must be purged. This dense energy is in the form of negative emotions. Both the sleepers and the midwives of dawn must purge themselves of negative emotions in order to become lighter - more ethereal.

The chaos part of Gaia's breathing cycle is the perfect gift to cleanse one and all of this dark emotional matter (which humans co-created over the eons in the name of learning). The midwives of the dawn show the sleepers that the way out of the pain is to go through it. If each sleeper is deeply loved then planetary healing may be achieved at the level of the individual. It is not necessary to create a collective nightmare and purge all dense energy at once. However, it is agreed by the universal family that a collective nightmare is much more efficient than a gentle awakening. The choice belongs to the humans, and many are becoming aware of the right to choose.

In love and light,
Mama Gaia

The Pre-healing Funk

When you choose to consciously co-create your life with Spirit and Nature, your daily dialogue with your guides will produce numerous healing opportunities. If you intend to change a thing about your self, then you can bet that it will rear its ugly head just before you transform it.



Let me give you a concrete example. Before releasing the need to control situations in the work place you experience a three day run of observing your self as VERY CONTROLLING. This is not at all fun, we never really like that aspect of ourselves we are trying to change. The good news is that when this behavioral pattern or thought construct is amplified, you can be certain that you are transforming it for the last time.



All you need to do is consciously embrace any challenge which comes into your life. Any bullshit which arrises... say to yourself "thank you for this opportunity to transform another aspect of my self." Then simply watch your emotions and reactions over the next few days. I am certain that after a few days of observation you will have seen and released several habits and thought patterns which were no longer serving you.



My motto is that chaos signals an opportunity. Because I believe it so thoroughly,80% of the time I am able to roll with chaos in real time. The other 20% of the time I struggle for a period and then embrace the chaos, trusting that I was about to reach a higher ground.

Create a list of the things which you'd like to learn or transform about yourself. Imagine that your guides or angels are watching you write the list and are ready to create actions and opportunities to help you manifest these visions. Then watch as the pre-healing funk hits you. As soon as you notice that you are living an amplfied version of that which you sought to transform you will relax into peaceful acceptance.

Change ~ Gentle or Chaotic?

Each one of us is narrating our lives by crafting stories to help our self understand what is occurring. Most of us believe our stories until something comes along that doesn't fit in with they way we've constructed our personal reality. In the current era, everything is changing at a dramatic and unprecedented rate. Everytime something in the world around you changes, it bumps up against your story.

Your story that spans your entire life. It includes information like your name, the places you've lived, the jobs you've had, the people you've loved, and the things you've learned. It also includes assessments you've made about your self over the years, as well as judgements others have made about you. For example, "I'm motivated and intelligent." or "I'm sloppy and lazy."

In this time of unprecedented change you have many choices. Perhaps the most important choice is whether or not you plan to learn and grow through these changes. If the answer is yes, the next important question is whether you want your changes to feel gentle or chaotic.

I've personally experimented with both throughout my life. In my experience, chaotic change usually has a much higher magnitude. Chaotic change can afford you to change dozens of things about your self all in one fell swoop. This type of change strikes me as very intense. In my younger years I actually enjoyed that intensity. I loved the quantum leap in consciousness which accompanied learning dozens of things about my self all at once. But there's a dark side too. It wasn't that I was always happily improving my self, like picking out new carpeting in a house that has decent flooring already. It is more like having the electricity turned on, looking around at the house and realizing that it's full of rats, mold, and the floor is rotting and falling through! Quite frankly it is both scary and depressing to notice dozens of things about your self that aren't as healthy as you'd like to believe.

Gentle change, on the other hand, is quite subtle and requires patience and perserverence. In gentle change you walk into that fixer-upper with a flash light, you pick one room of the house, and you notice and accept the fact that there are a few rats. Of course it is a much slower process, but it is not nearly as traumatic when you take each little aspect of your self one step at a time.

You always have a choice in how you approach your learning and growth. The trick is noticing that you have been making these choices your whole life! You have already sub-consciously chosen either gentle change or chaotic change, or some blend of both.

Putting off many life lessons over a long period of time is one way to choose chaotic change. By ignoring opportunities to gently edit your story, the queue of lessons can get mighty large and gang up on you all at once. There are some clues and cues to let you know whether you might be cruising toward a very chaotic and painful wake-up call:

1. If something negative happens and you dive into a distraction (food, drinking, sex, games, drugs) rather than processing the emotion, you may be ignoring an opportunity to grow.
2. If some corner of your mind is concerned or worried about any of your choices, habits, or routines, but you distract yourself and work hard to ignore it, you may be ignoring an opportunity to grow.
3. If several people around you are giving you unpleasant feedback and you think they are all full of shit, you may be ignoring an opportunity to grow.

However, if you periodically stop and notice your emotions, and gently probe into the more unpleasant emotions, you will discover that there are little things about your story which could be edited that would produce entirely different results in your daily life.

I recently noticed that one of my daily activities was triggering a small amount of doubt in a corner of my mind and there was even some feedback coming in from a few other people who also shared this doubt about my choice. This morning while I was waking up I stopped to really consider this activity. I decided that while I really gained much good from this activity, there is no benefit to feeling doubt or experiencing others doubt. This morning I made a small edit to how I conduct that activity. I didn't have to nuke the activity, just shifted the components which were creating doubt. Now I feel much better and I may have even avoided manifesting some loud and painful lesson!

I hope you'll consider the story you are writing for your self each day. I hope you will understand that it is not the distraction or activity which is bad. Only our experience of a thing is good or bad. And doubt is a strong signal that some editing would produce an even better story.

In love and light, Tree
