The Journey of the Soul is one of ever-learning, evolving and growing. I put it to you there is nothing else going on but this miraculous self-realising process. The One is expressing itself through the entirety of form in the Universe - through you, through your soul. Whilst we will create things in this process, whilst we will have relationships and fall in love, these are the effects of the miraculous weave of life simply expressing itself. Life is looking for ever higher harmonies of vibrational alignment. If this is true, then how might we consider the phenomenon of a 'mistake' on the Spiritual Path? What is a mistake? Is it possible to avoid them?...

It seems to me that just about everybody is searching for something - be it joy, love, material abundance or some kind of fulfillment. And so often, all that's found, are dancing veils in a world of disillusion. Many people are close, tantalisingly close to the ultimate prize that will complete them. It's right there, in every single moment - the potential to break through into your deepest Cosmic Self, the magnificent destiny of all toil and struggle; the answer to every question. Where do you look? And most importantly, how do you look?...

Plenty of awakening souls are yearning for change, but find themselves stuck in a rut. How to break out? It's beyond finding acceptance with where we are. The soul yearns for vibrancy and growth. It's about finding our passion, because when we're in it, we're going to ignite that spark, that becomes a flame, that grows into a fire of transformation. The spark of your soul instantly connects you to the Source of creation - unlimited potential that constantly fires with new possibility. You become unstoppable!

Pause for a few moments. Put on some soulful music. Breathe. Let breath carry you deep within. Imagine you're taking a flight to a favourite destination. Take the seat belt off this one though, and feel the roaring power of the engines sweeping you steadily aloft into the clouds. Where are you going? Where will it lead? The Great 5D Shift has begun its inexorable ascent. Welcome to the adventure of a lifetime. Let's make it epic!

It's time folks. Procrastination has to fall by the wayside now. Allegiance to a dying system must progressively wither and perish, just as the system itself is doing. There will likely be fear about that. It's okay. Honour it, embrace it, because fear is a tremendous vehicle for growth. It's in the fear where you can honestly touch your identification - the holding on. Where does it get tight inside? Here's the answer your soul is seeking, here's exactly why you created this moment. So that you can break through the 3D density into 5D.

Do you feel sometimes like you've been betrayed, abandoned and cast-adrift on the ocean of life? It's like nothing seems to add up, life doesn't always flow like it really should, and there are 'shadows' everywhere who seem to make it their purpose to slow you down. Don't worry, even though sometimes you may feel alone and cut-off from the wider universe you know as home, you are not powerless - you have gifts beyond measure, and as long as you let the flow speak through you, it will find a way to connect you back up to the source. If you let the fullness of you express, it doesn't matter what odds are ranged against you, you'll overcome any obstacle and challenge they throw in your way...

Society continues to stray ever further from the natural cycles of life. But Gaia has many ways of reminding us and bringing us back into alignment with the grand cosmic cycles we're moving through. Volcanoes are an essential part of the cleansing as the planet shifts to a higher vibration. As we increase our capacity for natural empathy, we can actually call on the elevation of volcanic energy to process karma and cleanse it from our being. That's why it's essential to pay attention to this key fulcrum in the Shift.

Are you feeling it too? It's like you have more and more to do, and increasingly less time to do it. It's because of this Great Shift of Consciousness into the 5D. Time is speeding up, because life here in the 3D has been locked into an eddy current - a 'time-warp', behind the flow; but now, that reality is unwinding, we're rejoining the space-time-continuum, where there is no time! How do you deal with that in a practical sense? What does it mean for your life and all that you're doing - all that you're working to create?...

In a universe of constant change, change is the only constant. And yet because of the density and inertia of the physical 3D World society has built, it's easy to be lulled into the status quo: that we can expect everything to be more or less like it was yesterday. This just builds complacency, laziness and fixed conditioned behaviourisms. What if though, you could recognise the underlying shift of energy taking place, harness this 'River of Life', and have it inspire and invigorate an entirely new way of being? As the old paradigm crumbles and declines, what if you could positively thrive through it and come alive? Here are 3 Simple Strategies for you to do that...

You might be one of those with a strong sense to want to change your reality - and indeed the wider world. Yet we're so often told of the need for "acceptance and surrender". The two truths, the two impulses, seem to conflict. And how exactly does consciousness change our reality for the better? You may have strongly catalytic tendencies that cause you to witness injustice in the world and want to do something about it. So what's happening with all these different energies? How do you balance what's going on within, and maximise your creative impact in the world?...

Whether aware or not, everyone is influenced by the current higher dimensional shift of consciousness into the Fifth Density. All is interconnected by consciousness, and the underlying flow on Earth is into higher dimensions. Gaia has centred herself in the 5D and is inviting all life to join her. It may sound a bit 'out there' to some, but when you examine it fully, you'll find that every thought, emotion and feeling - indeed every action - is being influenced by the interplay of the shift. Here's how to live that from day to day.

As you inquire deeper into the real meaning of the moment, and of your life's purpose, you'll start to pick up signs and synchronicity, where the field seems to magically click in around you, as if by some pre-ordained force.

What's going on here?
How might you best understand, and work with, the signs?
