Salvation
When this blog started back in 2008, this writer was in a very different place. Earnest seeking had resulted in an overall comprehension of the situation confronting humanity at this period in our history and the idea was to try and relay what had been learned (up until that point) to whomever could be contacted.
That information was gleaned from many different sources, both terrestrial and extra-terrestrial. When major and minor cycles of human evolution come to a close, humanity is always offered assistance and warning. The assistance can come in various forms: telepathic communication, astral impression, terrestrial documentation. Some of this material can be very compelling. Some of it is junk. Then there is the minefield of information that originates from the reflection sphere (what man knows as "the great beyond"). Although entities there have a much wider access to information than humans in incarnation, that does not necessarily mean that they know what they are talking about. In addition, some of the inhabitants of the reflection sphere are decidedly self-focused or downright mischievous. In short, information received from the astral realms can be misconstrued or misleading.
The seeker has to tread carefully in order to separate what is real from what is not. One must learn how to feel the vibration of any communication in order to accurately gauge its trustworthiness. The process of learning how to do this takes time. It requires that one put aside one's own likes, dislikes, prejudices, etc. and try to objectively interpret what is being presented. It also helps if one's vibration is of as pure a quality as possible, as like tends to attract like. A low-vibrating individual has a much higher chance of attracting and/or resonating to low-vibration material than one who vibrates at a higher frequency.
So, what's the point of all this?
As previously stated, this blog began with a certain focus. That focus was primarily one of "something's about to happen, Earth is going to go through tribulations, but don't worry, extra-terrestrials are standing by to help evacuate us". This focus was an outgrowth of this writer's mindset at that time, which was acting upon the information currently available to him at that time.
Well, time passes. If one is a true seeker, one does not stop and set up shop at the first oasis one encounters. One stops, refreshes oneself, gets a bite to eat, something cool to drink and then moves on. There are other discoveries that await the Traveler, and he must continue the trek in order to meet up with them.
That is what has happened here. Originally, the idea driving this blog was that something outside of ourselves would be our salvation. As this writer continued his trek, it was discovered that this is not entirely true. Are there extra-terrestrial civilizations and federations closely monitoring the Earth at this time? Emphatically, yes. That is a cosmic fact. Will these "space brothers" be available to assist humanity when the Earth turns over on her side? Maybe. To what extent, this writer does not know. Many E.T. sources have promised "evacuation", and countless evacuation scenarios have been put forward. However, it is abundantly unwise for one to put all of one's eggs in the "E.T. basket", so to speak. When one depends on someone else to save them, one is acknowledging that one is helpless in a given situation.
Well, we are not helpless, simply ignorant. Salvation is available, but the source originates from within one's own self. The events that are set to take place are not simply physical events requiring physical re-locations. This is a massive spiritual event which will require major spiritual re-adjustments in order to survive it. We must change ourselves. We must undergo a transmutation of our desires in order to experience the spiritual/physical transfiguration that will allow groups of souls to ride out the coming tribulations with a minimum amount of, shall we say, discomfort.
The Aquarian energies, the radiations of Christ Consciousness which envelop this planet, are here to assist us in this process. We must first sincerely aspire to take the steps necessary. Then, we should welcome these energies into the heart chamber, in an effort to fan to life the smoldering ember of our divine spark. By our daily actions, we must keep this ember alive, allowing it to become a steady flame. We will thereby attract more and more of the radiating Christ energies and can begin our "walk in the desert". Some pain and much sacrifice will invariably follow. However, the rewards for those who persevere are far greater than can be currently imagined.
These ones take the matter of their salvation into their own hands and, by grace, carve a path through the woods of dark materialism.This path is for those who aspire to take advantage of the grace of an age and achieve the highest during the close of this major cycle. There are lesser paths available for those who are, for whatever reason, unable to as yet reach so high ("In My Father's house, there are many mansions...").
Lastly, the laggards and stragglers who are unable, or unwilling to take any steps at all will have to be prodded externally. This "prodding" will be provided by the physical and spiritual onslaught that will soon overtake the planet. As with any group, some need only a gentle nudge, while others require a foot in the behind. Even then, the hard fact remains that many souls will be lost, permanently erased from the Book of Life.
Don't wait for the kick in the patoot. Begin the work now. The journey towards liberation starts within.

Grounding our thoughts
What is grounding? How does one acquire and maintain it during our daily lives? Most people are familiar with the term "grounding" when dealing with electricity. We will use the simple example of a lightning rod. The lightning rod is attached to the house in order to safely direct the flow of electricity when struck by lightning. So it would be safe to say that to ground energy, in this case in the form of electricity, would be to safely direct the flow of energy.
When we think of a grounded life, we think of the people who can, no matter the storms in their lives, live a balanced and happy life. They appear to not suffer from depression or fits of anger; they are the foundations of their families, the bedrock, and the calm in the crisis. Some people do all this naturally with hardly any realization of what it is they are doing, but they have practiced this for lifetimes. The rest of us, however, have to apply conscious observation and introspection.
One universal fact is that energy will move, and it will always choose the path of least resistance when not guided. The metal and size of the lightning rod will attract that lightning bolt; it is the best conductor, the path of least resistance.
Many people are not aware that thoughts, intentions, desires, and emotions are all forms of energy. We are constantly receiving and transmitting these forms of energy all around us. Your thoughts and emotions are not private. They can't be - we are all one. People are just not aware of it.
Conscious observation means that you are aware and are monitoring the energy. For example; If I am employing conscious observation of my thoughts then when those transmitted thoughts I receive cross my mind I do not automatically accept them as my own. I am aware that not every thought that passes into my mind is from me and because of this awareness I am constantly evaluating every thought as it crosses my view. I can identify my thoughts because I know myself. Most thoughts are harmless and because we all are learning the same lessons most of the thoughts you receive can be closely matched to your own life so it does not seem out of place.
However there are those negative thoughts that find their way into our minds and many people suffer from self imposed guilt that such thoughts spring up. Just identify it as not your own and release it. If you choose to harbor the thoughts you then make them your own and then you begin to feed them, until they turn into something more. We charge them up with our energy and send them to our loved ones through our connections; so be aware of what you are putting energy into.
There is that word again; aware. Our goal is to reach a point where we can turn off our thoughts at will, to be able to seamlessly enter a state of meditation and awareness, where peace and love can recharge us; eventually living our days is this peaceful state of patience and unconditional love. Simply observe the thoughts that spring up, neutrally. You must master the mind, or you will be ruled by it.
Energy will take the path of least resistance so what kind of thoughts do you normally entertain? Do you constantly beat yourself up? Are your thoughts angry or confused most of the time? When life distracts you this is the path that the energy will take. The easiest way to change how you think is to be aware and guide your thoughts, replacing the negative with positive. In this way you are safely directing the flow of thought energy using conscious observation.
Monitoring and directing your thoughts is the first and most important aspect of living a grounded life, as they are connected intimately with the other forms of energy we experience. When I am distracted by emotional overload or confusion in my thoughts I am susceptible to allow the energy to freely move through me unmonitored, and guess what, that is right, it will take the path of least resistance. This happens to be for me anger. I am sure that anger as an energy conduit, has served me for several lifetimes, as easy as it used to come.
By employing conscious observation over my emotions, I can be aware when emotions are not my own, or I can manage where I want my energy to flow. If I start to feel sad I then trigger my mind to find out why I feel sad. If I have no discernable answer then I know that it is not from me, and I release it. If I do get an answer then I can choose to invest more energy into this conduit, by continuing to entertain sad thoughts, or change it by altering my perception by replacing the associated sad thoughts with positive ones, which in turn fuels a different emotional response. In other words, by being aware of your thoughts and how you feel then you can put yourself ahead of your reaction. Every single time I ever lost my temper, there was a moment, even if only a fraction of a second, where I agreed with a thought in my mind that told me I was justified in losing my cool. I would be distracted by whatever circumstance at the moment and would not be aware of the thought before I was investing my energy into that perception, and by that time it is difficult to change the direction of the flow, because it feels good at the time.
Once you can safely direct the flow of thought energy and employ it to ground your emotional reactions, you will not be ruled by your exterior environments, emotional pressures, or outdated thought patterns, and you will begin to truly manage your energy on a moment to moment level.
I like to carry stones in my pocket; it is something I have done as a kid. I now understand why I carry them and I employ that awareness by putting them in my pocket. I like to take a favorite stone out and admire it, and rub it. Little did I know as a kid that it was the very act of loving those rocks that moved the energy into them. What do you enjoy doing? What hobbies do you entertain? Do you love plants and trees? Do you have favorites? Enjoying the small things in life is an ideal outlet for your thoughts and feelings. Admire the beauty of nature, in this way you are putting your focus on universal love and the unconditional love that connects everything together as one. The love will fill you up and you will be inspired in the moment. This is the energy exchange that is occurring when we take a moment to watch that amazing sunset, and we always walk away from these encounters feeling better, and not even aware of why.
The energy flow is the same with children, relationships, animals, or even ideas. The more you love them the stronger they become, and the connection between you grows. Energy is constantly moving along these connections. If we could monitor the thoughts of you and your loved ones for a day, a thought will travel along these energy lines no matter the distance, it will jump from mind to mind, like a quantum nerve synapse.
When we allow our thoughts to go where they want and we allow our emotions to conquer our reason we are not safely managing this energy. The energy within can build up if we try to suppress it, until it reaches what I like to call an "overload limit", at which point explosions/implosions of uncontrolled energy in the form of negative thoughts and emotional outbursts normally happens, and people say or do things they normally regret later, or they sink into a depression, which is fueled with thoughts!
So to truly be able to be grounded in our daily lives we must first be aware and understand how the energy flows before we can begin to manage it. As with the lightning rod it took conscious observation to learn how the lightning can be directed and a conscious decision to put that rod on the house, it will take a conscious decision to manage the flow of energy through your mind and chakras.
To recap; Grounding can be determined as safely directing the flow of energy through conscious observation and introspection, constantly. Our thoughts and emotions are forms of manageable energy and by observing our thoughts and feelings; we can separate ourselves from old thought patterns, fears, emotional reactions, and exterior frustrations and limitations, freeing us to create the balanced life that we are searching for.

On Freedom
"Freedom means the power to act by soul guidance, not by the compulsions of desires and habits. Obeying the ego leads to bondage; obeying the soul brings liberation. --Paramahansa Yogananda, "Sayings of Paramahansa Yogananda"
"Before you act, you have freedom, but after you act, the effect of that action will follow you whether you want it to or not. That is the law of karma. You are a free agent, but when you perform a certain act, you will reap the results of that act".
--Paramahansa Yogananda, SRF Lessons
"The way to freedom is through service to others. The way to happiness is through meditation and being in tune with God. Break the barriers of your ego; shed selfishness; free yourself from the consciousness of the body; forget yourself; do away with this prison house of incarnations; melt your heart in All, be one with Creation". --Paramahansa Yogananda, SRF Lessons
"Man's Freedom is final and immediate, if he so wills; it depends not on outer, but inner victories". --Paramahansa Yogananda, "Autobiography of a Yogi"
"You don't know how fortunate you are to have been born as a human being. In that you are blessed more than any other creature. The animal is not able to meditate and have God-communion. You have your freedom to seek Him and you do not use it". --Paramahansa Yogananda, "Man's Eternal Quest"
"The soul is bound to the body by a chain of desires, temptations, troubles and worries, and it is trying to free itself. If you keep tugging at that chain which is holding you to mortal consciousness, some day an invisible Divine Hand will intervene and snap it apart, and you will be free". --Paramahansa Yogananda, "Man's Eternal Quest"
"To be able to do whatever one pleases is not the real meaning of freedom of action. You should understand to what degree you are free, and how much you are influenced by bad habits. To be good just because it has become a habit to be good is not freedom, either. To be tempted is not sinfulness, but to be able to resist and overcome temptation is greatness; this is freedom, for you are acting by free will and free choice only".
