Merlin Speaks

as received by Gillian MacBeth-Louthan

Welcome. I am the energies, the frequencies, the perimeters and the parameters of the one that is known as Merlin. I come on this day to introduce you again to the magic that you have forgotten, the magic of transforming all that is dark and dingy and dank in your life into beauty, into love, into golden opportunities. I have walked throughout time wearing many hats of position. Originally as Thoth, as Hermes, as Joseph of Armithea, as St. Germaine, and as Merlin. I come forth on this day to infuse you with the remembrance of how you can turn the 'lead of your life into gold'.

You all have the innate ability to transmute through a thought, through a word, through a glance, and a touch. You have the ability to move past time and space as you know it and by-pass the speed of light and laugh at the speed of sound. Intertwining your energies with all of life. Dancing with the eagles, swimming with the whales and dolphins, fencing with the wind. You have forgotten the beauty of the elements of your planet.

Do not wait for the state of ascension as you are amended to the union of heaven on earth. Do not wait until the light announces to you. "It is time to ascend, it is time to rise from a leavened state. Hesitate not, for it is time to go beyond what you are capable, removing the veil that has hidden you from yourself. You stand at an intersection of light and remembrance waiting for the light to turn. But it is you that must announce and pronounce that incoming light to every cell of your body in a tone of celebration, and a movement of dance that goes beyond what you once knew to be space and time. Come forth fully – do not stay in the hidden depths of your being, in the basements of the past, in the rooms without windows that darken your hopes.

Alchemically your timer and timing is set to engage as your humanness enters the Apex of the Photon light and the planet earth comes fully into a concave elliptical lens of the future. Changing all of life's perspective as it sees itself in the new life that reflects off of a dual Daystar (Sun).

Move the alchemical unit of you into every aspect of your life. For all of it is interconnected and inter-woven and you cannot separate yourself from what you are creating and what is creating you. For every inch of you, every hair, every thought, every iota creates continually with or without your permission, with or without your knowing. Creation stops for no one and no thing. So knowing this, create the gold – instead of the lead and the rocks that you trip upon daily. See every situation, no matter how it looks to your human eye as an opportunity to express to yourself, the true beauty and the true love of what you are about.

I Merlin did not sit in the dungeons upon my hands, grinding up life with a pumice stone but I walked amongst life as you do. You have forgotten your Magic. The magical part of you, --- the part of you that can in a thought move from one location to another. The part of you that can open doorways that are seemingly boarded and bricked shut. The part of you that can fly, can breath underwater, can transform into any animal, any leaf, and any stone in any minute. I come to strip you of what you know to be yourself, to pull away the follicles and the hairs of your humanness to expose a unit of light so grand, so magical, so divine. You wear these vehicles life after life, time after time – and still you do not like them. Every time you wish them away. Yet always they serve you well.

Your humanness comes into a format of being very sensitized and sensitive at this point in time. Do not push it away with words that are not wise, with words that are not loving, with words that hold no feelings, but embrace this time and day fully. Tell it thank you for you are about to enter the doorway of the Apex of the Photon. Look closely at your flesh, for it sparkles. Look closely at the colors of your eyes for they have changed. Look at your thoughts.

All of these elements make up you. You are a body of earth. You are a body of light. You are a body of heaven. And you are a body of man and woman. Treat yourself magically.  You have a doorway within you to all dimensions, to every civilization that has fallen and risen again, to every lost continent, to every lost star, to every lost galaxy.

Time does not exist for you. It exists because of you. I leave you with magic in your heart. This Magic comes from the stars. It comes from you in the future that sits there announcing to you in the now – what is to come undone and what is to come to be. Now I leave. Merlin

The Quantum Awakening

The End of Separation...Connecting to the New Energies

By Karen Bishop

These are interesting times indeed, as we are in unchartered territory and much of everything is wide open. When we crossed over into a new energetic reality and experience, there was really nothing here yet. The forerunners are at the foremost territory of bare energy, while others are just behind with more company, and even so, we are all having experiences that perfectly fit where we are now residing.

In this way, there is an emptiness, or perhaps just a feeling of no energy present. We may reach out with our hands and feel great space, lots of air, or even a nothingness that we cannot quite place a finger on. We may feel separate and alone. In this new land, nothing has been created yet, so in this way, the palette is still empty, waiting for our brushes to place something upon it, and mostly, to connect the dots.

In times past, we were much more able to connect to Source or to a higher vibrating energy from above, all by ourselves. Now, in this new land, because we hold so much more light within us, which also gave us the entry keys to the other side, we are now being called upon to connect to each other, as a means of connecting to the light. We may find that if we go back to our usual patterns of being alone or separate, we will simply sink like a rock, seemingly unable to find the light, to connect to anything at all, or to even remember where we are, what we are doing, and where we are going.

I moved to a new physical location this past week. The day before my move, while I was still at my old home packing, the contractor who will be building the first structure on the Angels Rest land mysteriously showed up. I had not seen him for awhile, nor anyone for that matter, and while in the midst of conversation, he impulsively gave me the number of someone who could help with the move, even though I already had a few people lined up.

The next morning as I arrived back home with the truck, I noticed some empty boxes at my door…I had run out of boxes while packing, as my house is a very long way from any place where I could get empty boxes, and things had just not flowed like they usually did. It was a nice and very welcome surprise. As I entered my house and checked my voice mail, there was a message that my movers had cancelled at the very last moment. So there I was with a 24 foot truck that I had just driven in from Corrales, and no one to help load it. I had indeed called the person the night before, that my contractor recommended, just in case, but really did not know what would transpire next.

Within a few minutes, a car arrived, and three young men emerged, ready to help load up the truck. Like little angels, they loaded and loaded, all the while laughing. “Keep laughing!” I continually told them. “I love it! Thanks so much!” When they were done, they perched themselves at the back of the truck, legs hanging over, and asked all about me. After many hugs that I insisted upon, they got in their car and drove off.

My twin grandbabies had just had the flu, and because we are all so very close and always cuddling, and because I have been run down of late and exhausted, I immediately got it. (The new Emerging Earth Angels e-book Crossing Over gives a detailed account of how I re-connected to my daughter and grandchildren after a brief and very sorrowful dis-connect, along with much more detail about the new blueprint for living on the other side.)  After the movers left, I still had a few fragile items to load, and then I still had to clean the house, as the drive to my new home was 2 ½ hours away, and I did not want to return back to my old house the following day just to clean.

At this point, I was feeling very ill. Every few moments I would lay on the floor, trying to gather some more energy. In times past, I have been good at pushing myself when needed, rising above it, and getting a second wind, but this time I was really spent. I asked the angels to revive me, fully expecting that I would feel the usual energy surge and floaty feeling, and then be ready to complete my work. Nothing happened. “This is weird,” I thought. What I had failed to remember, was that we are no longer separate. I had asked for help in order that “I” could finish what I needed to finish, completely forgetting that I could have asked instead, that help arrive to assist me.

Finally, while talking to my daughter on the phone (with the babies, she was not able to come and help), we finally agreed that I would simply have to drive back to Corrales, and then come back again to clean and load up any remaining items. My legs were like rubber, my body was pounding, and I had absolutely no energy left to take one more step. My gas tank was below empty…there was no hope. I was drained beyond belief.

Very suddenly, two cars drove up. My contractor and two helpers jumped out, offering to help if needed. These two helpers loaded up my truck and cleaned the entire house! Like little angels with fluttery wings, they swept, mopped, vacuumed, cleaned windows, all within an hour, and then we were done.

We can no longer go it alone, stay in our personal sanctuaries, and do everything by ourselves. When we do, we will now feel empty, drained, perhaps depressed and in some kind of sludge, and feel a dis-connect that we have not experienced ever before. Like a lone being on a deserted island, the new reality does not allow for separation.

When we connect to others now, our energy immediately rises, we fill up, we lighten up, and we very naturally go to heightened states of being that exist in a higher vibrating dimension.

When I recently bought my new home here in Corrales, New Mexico, I was very blessed to connect with a most amazing real estate agent (www.corralesrealty.com ).  Greg’s sole purpose was in helping people, and within a short time, this was very evident. After everything was complete and I had the keys to my new home, I sat in his office and said, “Thank you so much. I could have never done this without your loving hand and continued presence by my side at every step of the way.” Expecting that we would now part, he immediately said, “I am not done yet! I still need to introduce you to great members of the community, to be there with you when other aspects of your financing agreement become due, and please, feel free to come by the office any time and use whatever you need here. And in a few days, I will be over with some champagne to toast your very new house. You are going to love it here. And call me if you ever need anything.”  

Whenever we would be together, amazing things would transpire. And whenever I get together with my contractor, amazing things transpire. We are creating the new reality with our connections. And when we connect to each other, the vibrational space goes much higher, and it is then, that anything can happen.

Recently, I re-connected to my friend Lynn who lives in Colorado. Whenever we talk on the phone, the energy goes up and we feel invigorated and revived. We were recently commenting the very same day, that we had casually looked down at our arms, and thought, “How did my skin suddenly get old? I feel so very young inside, and aging simply does not fit in with the picture. Something feels really off! “ Roughly the same age, deeply within, we never thought that we would ever grow old, and just knew, that this was not part of the plan. But as we looked in the mirror…Lynn in Colorado and me in New Mexico, while we continued to connect and talk, we noticed that we suddenly looked much younger.

These connections we will have with each other, will create and place us in the new reality or higher vibrating dimension. It is here that disease cannot exist, that aging cannot exist, and where we can create much of anything that our heart’s desire. It is here, through our connections to each other, that we can stay in a higher vibrating space at all times. And continuing to think positively does not hurt either!

What if we do not know how to connect to each other or to find each other?

A few days ago, I was in line at our local health food store getting some groceries, and an interesting thing occurred. In front of me was a beautiful man with dark skin and a long black ponytail. He was telling the cashier that he had just been to a singles gathering with no luck. On and on the conversation went, as he was available and “looking.” My girlfriend has been in the very same situation, and looking for a man to come into her life, who looks exactly like this man did. I immediately thought of her, only I was standing next to him and she was not.

A few days prior, I had been telling my girlfriend that I was ready for a long sit on a lazy porch swing. The next day, she found herself at someone’s home, sitting on a porch swing on a beautiful day and thought of me.

My daughter came to this world to bridge the races. When she was young, she would draw pictures of children with all skin colors, holding hands in a circle. Yesterday I went to get my mail, and one of my beloved readers had sent a box with several dolls in it with different skin colors, all holding hands (www.PeopleHoldingHands.com ). My daughter will be moving back to North Carolina on Saturday to complete her mission, as she is now finally very ready to do so, and then we will re-unite again, so these dolls were so amazingly appropriate and supportive. These dolls were most certainly for her.

With the new ways of being now, we are so very connected that we create for each other. We bring to ourselves things that relate to and that are needed by those we are connected to. This is because we are now beginning to form the very new grid, and assisting each other will be paramount, as offering to each other whatever is needed, will serve to support this grid in some exciting and loving ways. We will have so much to offer each other as we come together, thus creating an all needs met situation as well as our new heaven on earth comprising of everything we have ever wanted or dreamed about. The time is here, and this is how it will come about…through the connections we will have with each other.

We will connect to each other oh so naturally now, and if we are open to reaching out to each other, to offering what we have to each other, and to realizing that there is no separation while we make this a very real way of living and being, we will indeed find ourselves in heaven on Earth.

With much love and gratitude,

Karen

A Message to the Masters of the Blue Ray

El Morya through Lauren C Gorgo

Blessings and divine greetings exalted ones! I speak to you as El Morya, Chohan of God's Blue Ray.

I come first to commune with those of you who have volunteered to incarnate on the blue ray of cosmic light and as the divine way-showers of a new era. I come to assist you to harness the new potentials that each of you are here to claim and have put forth in the name of oneness to honor the path of the risen Christ within.

Before long, your outer world will shift to reflect the internal changes that you have worked so long and hard to achieve. Yes, they will be the changes that you have long sought after, yet they will also be the changes that each of you came to ground into the earth's core through the warrior ray of cosmic truth, wisdom and the divine will of God.

I offer this information to you solely as a reminder that those beings of the blue ray have a very special role to play on this planet, at this time, and that you have come first to set up the positions of leadership that your human society so desperately seeks.

In this, those of you who have realized that your role is one of the path-paving pioneer, and the dominion within you is now a clear reflection of that role, you are preparing to step once more into the unknown.

The fluctuating tides that continue to wash over your current planetary affairs are those that have long been proven outworn and those of you who have contributed to this fading reality are those who are becoming the rising leaders of a new day, a new way.

Many blessings of virtue will be bestowed upon you, the new physical guides, for indeed the path that offers much, required much. Those of you who have wholeheartedly mastered the strength of divine will, will be replacing the unseen guides that have guided each of you home, to this very point on your evolutionary journey.

You, of the blue ray, are those who have come to rescind the ill will of humanity and replace it with the Will of God, the glorious and abundant futures for each member of your human society who deems the highest good a righteous endeavor.

Yes, there will be those who denounce the path of unity in search of more proof of the way, yet those who have come specifically to replace the man-made will of separation and strife with the will of Godly abundance, creation and hope, are those who have come to serve in the highest form.

In this, know that the masters of the blue ray will become a predominant voice of the new age.

All voices will blend into the creation of the One Plan in their inherent and signature form, yet the masters of the blue ray have developed the sacred gifts of communication, speech, discernment and clarity of divine will to the point of mastery. Indeed, you will soon discover that there is good reason for this.

Those of you with the roles of divine communication, vocal and otherwise, will begin to attract the platforms, mediums and support for your much needed ventures now that your planet and her people have shifted to an openness and readiness to hear more truth.

Beloved members of the blue ray, you will know yourselves by your name for your name will carry the vibration of this ray most succinctly. Examples of archaic vibrational tones in earth's history are depicted in scripture as singsong just as your name carries a tonal frequency of harmonics that when stated aloud creates the dynamic chords of the color spectrum and resonates at the signature vibration of the color blue.

The Path of the Blue (First) Ray

In the history of earths creation and the evolution of man, the blue ray has had many roles in implementing the divine structures necessary to further expand human consciousness. It is for this reason that Archangel Michael, co-holder of the blue ray, is of the most widely known and discussed angelic beings in scripture.

What is important to realize at this pivotal point in human creation is that the blue ray must precede all others in its implementation of the divine will. "In the beginning, there was the Word", exemplifies this truth most profoundly. The blue ray holds the frequency of eternal wisdom and detachment from form, so that new potentials, new levels of consciousness can be attained and eventually formed into matter.

For this reason, the blue ray has held the role of warrior, protector of God's Will, and for the purposes of furthering human evolution in this magnificent time of planetary shifting into unity consciousness.

What this represents for the whole of humanity is the emergence of a new voice!

God's blue ray is strongly associated with the throat chakra and the energy of truthful, creative expression. "First, the word" is a depiction of the process of the creation of worlds and now, in this unprecedented time in human history, the incarnated beings of the blue ray will duly manifest the divine word into divine deed.

For this group of souls, you will be moving forward with your soul brothers and sisters and positioned at the forefront of humanity where your voices will be heard. You will be brought to your rightful place as truth-sayers, with the recognition and tools needed to spread the Word, the Will of God and to inspire communities, nations, cultures and races to join together in support of the greater good.

It is paramount to realize that your diligent and noble intentions to free yourselves from mental bondage have been in favor of the greater good, for you carry the vibration of the Word with you at all times. The arduous process of disbanding from the heaviness of the distortion fields that permeate the collective consciousness was your gift to this planet and her people, and now you step forth as examples to herald a new way.

Beloved members of the First Ray, take heed. Your diligence has paid off and your next steps will fortify the intentions for the highest good of all. Now is a time to bask, to float, to breathe, and to prepare your earthly bodies to anchor into your new vibrational home. The space that you have willfully created for yourselves here on earth is now available to all, but you, the new physical guides, will be the first to enter and dwell here.

You will witness a changing of the guard in your earthly sphere as those leaders of yesterday become increasingly more ill-equipped to handle the challenges of today. Be patient and persistent in your quest for global goodness, dear angels of blue, for you will have great influence here.

We, of the blue ray, carry each of you in our hearts as the silent warriors of a new earth. Your gifts of communication will fall on deaf ears no longer, and you may find that many who have disregarded your teachings in the past suddenly summons your wise council. Turn no one away, for the challenges will be great and will continue to increase in magnitude for all yet unwilling to surrender to the beauty and sanctity of Mother-Father God.

Remember your journeys well, bright souls, and leave the mark of compassion and hope for all who are ready to accept it.

The blue rays have succeeded in their quest to unlock the gates of heaven and all who follow in the now-worn path will be blessed by the bounty of their lighted creations.

Expect the unexpected!

On behalf of the inter-dimensional cosmic council of light, we bid you farewell, blessings and good tidings.

The Dawn Breaks...A New Day Finally Arrives

By Karen Bishop

With Mercury going forward once again, the final piece of our new arrival is finally in place. And with this event, we will see much more of a forward movement and a secure locking in of our very new spaces.

This means no more waking up pre-dawn, at 3:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m., or 5:00 a.m. and unable to go back to sleep! For many of us, we will finally be able to sleep through an entire night! We are removed from the higher realities, or what occurs in dream state, at certain intervals during the ascension process, as much is going on at these levels, and we need to be clear and removed while things are re-calibrating and being put into place. Thus, we may fall asleep comfortably, but continue to wake up precisely at the same time each morning, with an inability to go back again. It is all part of the process of moving forward.

As our disconnections have occurred in their entirety, and our new spaces finally and completely prepared, we need now only step into them with all of our being. Who will be alongside of us now? Who and what has “made the cut,” and is now residing where we are residing? (A brief note to forerunners: There are fewer souls at your level, as you are the ones forging very, very new territory, but rest assured, you will connect with your partners none-the-less.)

Individuals and energies who have assisted in bringing forth our new places and spaces, may suddenly depart, as their role was in assisting us to get where we needed to be, and now they will depart for their rightful  and true spaces, if even no longer in ours. On this note, this final anchoring in will herald the new way in regard to the earth angels as the official caretakers of the planet. In times past, we assisted in bringing up the vibration of the planet, left for a new reality of our making, and now we will absolutely and unequivocally be at the helm, in control, and able to create without resistance and challenge, a very new earth within our very new reality. There will now be a distinct changing of the guard in regard to who or what is now in our new spaces.

Many are reporting sudden arrivals of new money. Whether in the form of inheritances, early retirements, gifts, or the like, these new sources of income will assist in placing many of us right where we need to be. These gifts from above, are supporting us in being where we need to be, creating our new release and new freedom, so that we can now completely anchor into our very new spaces. Like sudden synchronicities from above, we can know that all is in divine and perfect order as we are being supported as never before in strange and miraculous ways.

And yet some are still feeling stuck in between. Feeling stuck can occur when we have not yet been willing to really let go of what we need to let go of. If we are still hanging on to things, we will be placed in the energy of the old, where we no longer live and vibrate, and this can feel very uncomfortable at best. Another way to get “un-stuck” is to stay in positive thinking. To identify and envision what we really and truly want for ourselves in all ways, and know it will finally be arriving very soon. Going back to the old, no matter where we are now residing, can feel downright awful. We cannot go back, as the lower rungs are simply far too dense, and at this point, will feel like a reality where we simply no longer belong…somewhere from a distant past that belongs to someone else. And it can even make us feel ill and decaying.

With this new movement, rapid heartbeat can occur once again, as the energies are moving, and feelings of hyperventilating can occur as well. Before we arrived in this space, in weeks past, we may have experienced a definite squeezing, as though we were trying to push some density through a tight hole. This manifested as headaches, severe allergies, body pain, and an overall feeling of barely being able to move around. This has now passed, and feeling lighter, with perhaps lots of energy moving around in the head area, and even weight loss that actually stays off for a change, can be common symptoms as well. I have been thrilled to have lost 25 pounds in the past few months, and it is finally staying off, restoring me to my normal and familiar weight before the ascension process began.

As we begin to arrive in these very new spaces, we will also begin to connect with new people as well. Having lost so many with the advent of the separation of the worlds, we will now connect with very new families who will be right for us in every way. Some will be at lower rungs of the vibrational ladder than we may be, but will be needed in arenas where we need to establish our store-fronts. Others may be on higher rungs, but will be needed to guide and assist us. It does not matter what rung, as we will all connect in relation to where our energy overlaps, or what we have in common, and seeing the divinity in each and every face, is all that is ever needed.

Feelings of insecurity that we may have experienced in the past, due to having no sense of place and a loss of our old identity, will now cease to a large degree…thank goodness! With the advent of very new roles, perhaps new geographical residences, and new brothers and sisters to mingle with, things will now feel back to normal, if even a very new normal.

Most recently, and in times to come, energy shifts will arrive in big bangs. Like a missile hitting dense targets, we will feel big shake-ups for no apparent reason, and they will most likely not affect us at all. We are simply feeling the shake-ups that are occurring in the old world and old reality….a place where we no longer reside. These big bangs are like bombs going off behind a closed door, as although we may feel their impact in an indirect way, we will not be able to see and experience what they are creating, as we will be in another world entirely.

So although we will now have the world at our fingertips, becoming too giddy, focusing too much on having our own way and thinking it is all about us and what we want, will only serve to activate immense ego energy within, and defeat the purpose of the ascension process and all it has created up until now. Over and over I have seen this pattern…”Wow! My book has finally been published! Yipeee! Things are finally going my way! I got my new land! I bought a new house! I’m finally back on track and happy again!”

Yes, of course we are supposed to be happy. And yes, we are supposed to be able to create what we want. But what the ascension process creates, is a loss of our density within, or our ego states. So as we progress ever forward expanding and growing in consciousness, what we may have wanted to create in the past, no longer fits where and who we are now. This is why we are frequently blocked with the ascension process in regard to creating, as what we may have wanted to create at one time, no longer fits and we would simply have to undo our new creations, or back out and go somewhere else.

As we expand and evolve, we begin to notice what is around us, and most importantly, who is around us. Thus, it is not about us and what we want for ourselves, but much more about how we now fit into the whole. What do we desire to create, that fits into the whole and serves to support the whole? And know as well, that having large swings in mood in regard to being blissfully happy and joyous as everything is going our way one minute, and down and depressed because nothing is happening for us, are signs as well that our egos are running the show.

Stay centered with your new creations. Remember what the ascension process has taught us. Remember that suffering always serves to connect us to a higher place and to our source, as well as bringing us together. Know that we are always where we need to be, no matter what that looks like. Remember that there is no good, bad, right, or wrong, but only source within us at any given moment. And remember as well, to notice who is by your side, who has helped you the most, and who is in your new space, while you revere and honor their creations as well…as they are very much a part of your very new reality and will serve to sustain you in all ways.

With much love and gratitude,

Karen.

Sunflowers and Sunbeams

By Bonnie Starr Mandell-Rice 

Back behind our house where I walk my dogs are acres and acres of sunflowers.   I love seeing them each morning.  There must be a hundred thousand or more of them, and each time I see them I am reminded of the rich abundance of the Universe.  It is not just their plentitude, however, that I notice these days but how their faces are always turned toward the sun, wherever it is on its path, and how their upturned faces create a blanket of golden-yellow across dull green and grey of the land. 

These sunflowers are not only metaphors for abundance but for living in the Light, in the Radiance of the One whom some call God.  When we lift up our hearts and our minds to God, we are uplifted, and when we turn our faces toward God, we are bathed in the Light of the One.  The more often we do this, the more the Light penetrates and heals us.  It literally enlightens us – as it infuses our cells and our energy bodies, it lightens our “loads,” whatever they may be, and brightens our outlook so that we experience more joy.   

I find that the simple act of closing my eyes, lifting my face, and imagining the Sun (a metaphor for the Divine) that is blazing eternally above my head, is sufficient to give me a quick infusion of joy and to clear any clouds (dreary, limiting thoughts) that may be drifting through my mind.  Try it now for yourself (it will only take a minute or two):

Close your eyes. Turn your face or lift your eyes (still closed) upward. Imagine the brilliantly glowing Sun above your head. 

See the Light – golden, white or platinum beams - streaming down from the Sun and touching your face. 

Allow the Light to wash over you.  Feel it flowing down your entire body and then through you.

See and feel yourself washed clean of all your worries and sorrows and filled with the Light.   

Then, when you are ready, take a deep breath, open your eyes and SMILE!

If, when you close your eyes, you notice there are clouds between you and the Sun, blocking some of the Light streaming toward you, simply without forcing anything, allow the Sun to warm the clouds, causing them to evaporate, dissipate, or simply drift away, leaving a clear opening for the Light to reach you. 

You also can do this brief process anytime you are experiencing any discomfort (of whatever kind and by whatever name you call it – sorrow, worry, unhappiness, grief, sadness, anger, hurt, limiting thoughts, etc.).  Simply add the following step after first seeing the Sun above you.

Notice where the discomfort is in your body, and with your imagination and intention, move the discomfort (including all the related thoughts and emotions) from your body into the clouds above you.  Then proceed as before to allow the Sun to warm those clouds, causing them to evaporate, dissipate, or simply drift away, leaving a clear opening for the Light to reach you. 

Do this simple process often – even if you are not experiencing discomfort, just to give yourself a Light infusion.  Be like the sunflowers – keep your face always turned toward, and your heart and mind lifted up to, the Sun/the Divine.  When you do, you will radiate that Light and illuminate all that you experience.  As more and more of us do this, we like the sunflowers in the fields behind my house, will form a blanket across the Earth, one that will transmute and transform all that seems dark and dreary into greater and greater expressions of life, love and joy.
