Today signifies a new beginning. And although we are not yet fully aware of what has began today, it is worth remembering this date as the beginning of the new world. The shift has been creating a momentum, and the physical world has shifted to where the smile in the heart prevails.
It is time: It is the time to celebrate; it is the time to begin to create your life from the sense of ease, freedom, and accomplishment; it is the time to light that smile in the heart and allow it to shine.
Happy Celebration!

P.S. 08-15-2012 is Number 1, the aspiration of humankind... just a coincidence?

Legacy
I do not watch thrillers or Sci-Fi movies. I do not go to watch action movies to the theaters. And I do not go to see any movie the day of its release.
The game has changed today. I went to see Tron: Legacy (2010) because Michael insisted, and I learned to use discernment and trust. And I learned that the game has changed indeed.
The Grid, the creator, a cyber universe..."This is just a 'game!' - Not any more."
Emotions flooded me. A couple of years ago I was ostracized for my connection to Atlantis. It never existed, people claimed. They are right: That what you did not experience is not real for you. The game in the movie was real, alright. It will be too real for many - watch and you might remember.
But the point is not about remembering the past, for it is no longer real and is not in the moment we are. It is about remembering who you are. And the lessons apply.
Kevin Flynn, the creator of this cyber world, tells that he screwed up because he wanted to create a perfect world. The lesson of Atlantis is just that.
We know now, and we are winning the game this time. Will you choose to? Will you see what's in front of you, the beauty of this world, or spend your life in search for the illusion of perfection?
The beauty and harmony of imperfection is our true legacy, and it is a gift.

Power Field
There is a powerful flow of Light that penetrates all the aspects of our life these days. It began the clearing process on the first day of this year, and it will continue to do what it is here to do. It is in our power to choose to cling to our habitual patterns and experience a lot of 3-D symptoms of dis-ease, or allow the flow to clear anything that stands on our way to experience our Self in full consciousness.
Below is one of the conversations with beloved AA Zadkiel where he addresses an unexplainable feeling of grief of separation I experienced. It is one of the so-called phantom symptoms, and the source of this one probably goes as far back as Atlantis. Without a need to know any "prehistoric" facts, here is another beautiful message about our feelings outside of the habit of conditioning.
_____________
AA Zadkiel:
There is no such thing as separation of two souls. There is an illusion of duality in the 3-D world, for it was created for a purpose to know contrasts, and to learn unconditional love, despite. Do you see the Beauty of it?
Yes, you were right when you said that the idea was beautiful. However, you interpreted it not as an idea of separation for gaining an opposite point of view, like a mirror, to know Self better. You thought it was about control. That was not the original idea, but one of the consequences, and the most drastic one.
Now, what you want us to tell you about your feelings and what you do with that: Let go. No, not of the feelings (a smile), but of an idea you can, or have to, control something. That is against the flow of unconditional love.
Your path is that of surrender to the flow of unconditional love, to become one with it, to become Unconditional Love. You have chosen this path, and you have all the support on your path. Fear not, doubt not, stop not. We have you - not under control, but in our Heart, remember?
When you speak from the Heart, you are One with Us, you are One of Us, you are Who You Are. So, do not hesitate to speak: write and publish, and move on.
Your words are as beautiful as your being, and your words are only as beautiful and powerful as you allow your being be. Pay attention to where you are coming from with your message, and do not alter what comes form the Heart. The flow, once steady, will shine in Radiance you are bringing to you now intermittently. Fear not to be one with it. You can state your intention now. - Yes.
With much love from the Heart,

New Reality
Welcome to a New Reality!
The changes on the planet are real, and those are huge. When you say you do not feel a difference, that's by your intention. Just keep in mind that the changes that take place in a different dimension most likely have no reflection on the habitual 3-D reality. Nevertheless, it is all about perception. The 3-D reality as we had known it is no longer here. Do you feel an unexplainable sadness, almost a grief? Do you also feel hopeful, as if you are about to let go of something you have known well for quite a while, yet it does not suit you any longer? Just let go, and enjoy the New Reality. It is as real as it can be, despite the fact that not all the senses and scientific equipment can reflect it - as of yet.
It is time for a big celebration, for we just let go of the biggest illusion of separation in this world. We also let go of the history of humanity as we had known it. We no longer need to recall our past lives, and then recover from that trauma. It is cleared from the collective consciousness. Just hold an intention to let go.
Also, we are no longer bound by any contracts we held in the past. This is a biggie. Once again, have your intention to let go of all of those - you do not need to look at what they are or understand what it is all about. Enjoy your freedom of being, and be kind to all.
Welcome, my beloved! Welcome!

The Art of Wojtek Siudmak
This day brought an amazing discovery for me: I learned about Wojtek Siudmak, a painter from Poland currently living in France.
Wikipedia offers a two-sentence information about the painter and a link to his website. The site is worth going to to take a look at his project, Eternal Love monument. To see his many paintings it is best to search his name in Google's Images.
The painter's work is not just unique; it is clearly a direct channeling. For those who already remember, it is Lemuria and Atlantis we are looking at. And much more that is beyond words, but gives you shivers.
The image below is a perfect illustration for a piece Return of The Feminine that I did not want to publish for the lack of faith it is going to be understood. It does not have to be. It just is what it is. And it has an illustration now.

Bliss
It is Friday, March 27th, and I am on my way to Boston for what is promising to be a powerful weekend. It is also so timely, but what’s new!
I decided to take a train, and am so grateful that a friend of mine talked me out of the idea riding a bus from NYC. What a blessing! I face almost six hours of uninterrupted time with my computer, headphones, and a notebook (yes, an old-fashioned one, with the pages of pure white paper space awaiting to accept my feelings unconditionally).
After admiring the movie of the fast-changing imagery in a window, I am back to the stillness of my new notebook from the Neue Galerie. (A reflection of that visit on March 21 is in Stepping Into Spring.) On the cover, Klimt’s Danae, a woman dressed in her beauty and wrapped in her dream and radiant orange hair, with her lips of a dazzling orange, mirrors the chasteness of the pages inside.
I am ready.
At 12:22 p.m., when the train reaches New York Penn Station, yet another Letter to Me begins to fill the pages.
“Listen to the words!” I write down as my iTunes plays a song from a CD album by UK’s Bliss entitled A Hundred Thousand Angels. I do.
While I follow the words, my thoughts are with the people who introduced me to this music. With much love in my heart, I hold the faith that they hear the true songs of their own hearts. It is not a wish; it is yet another step. And it is just one step away: accepting the Light You Are.
Say Goodbye by Bliss
Say goodbye to all you see,
To all you see with these eyes.
Say goodbye to all you’ve been,
To all your needs and desires.
Fly above the silent ocean
And to the purest star.
Feel your heart begin to break,
Become the light you are.
Fear is men enclosed in flesh
And wrapped up in a lie.
Love is all that conquers death,
It never fears to die.
Freedom dances over the threads
That try to tie her down.
Faith is humble like the one,
Who walks a step behind.
Say goodbye to all you see,
To all you’ve been and desired.
Take your place and dance the dance,
And leave this world behind.
Fly up high, the proudest eagle,
The true king of the skies.
Feel the chains begin to break,
Become the Light You Are.

A friendly warning: The content of a letter below I transmitted can be a) very helpful for those who have readily available compartments to process the information, and b) extremely dangerous for a rational mind of everyone else. Proceed at your own risk.
* * *
Now the train is really moving – it is hard to write. I am advised to take a brake from catching the song’s words and to listen to my heart. I am considered “attuned” to the right frequency now, and it can be measured in words. Great!
The color I see outside of the train window is primarily orange; thus, we are talking about passion once again. Or, have we ever stopped?
The train just took a long curved turn to follow the Connecticut’s coastline. In my thirteen years on the East Coast, I have never traveled north of New York by train. We lived in New Haven, CT, but always drove down to the city. A graduate student’s family, we had time but not money, and the gas was rather inexpensive then… Memories.
I love to travel. I love to meet people and visit places, and I love the flow of words once I am detached from all the “homework”. A perfect space to listen to ME.
These past few days were not easy for me, but what’s new? :)
Well, actually, a lot.
Like in the song, I am letting go and saying good bye to a lot of accumulations of the old world. There is no way back. All the doors are closed. They are not locked; you can still pick in any time you want, for we live on the planet of free choice. However, it is my inner desire to walk forward fearlessly and to stay true to self, and that seals those doors for me.
“What is missing for you?” My husband asked this morning. “ What else do you want?”
He got the point. And I got mine.
I want nothing. I feel all my basic needs are taken care of for me – that is when I stay balanced and purposeful. Yet, there is one, still basic, physical connection that I have to allow in my life. And that is where I am stuck right now.
Here we are, back to the sacred, or relativistic, I call it, geometry. There were again those triangles today in the sky. The opposite angels in an “X” formed by clouds were narrowing, closing into a line.
Passion… How many angles does it have? I bet, none.
I guess we did something with it back in Atlantis. We altered it in some way: in a very crucial way. It caused a huge ripple through physicality, and excruciating pain that created a great fear. So, instead of bridging the Heart and the Mind [as it was intended], we cracked open a gap between the heart and the body. It was a low blow, for it was totally unexpected. No one ever thought of a possibility for the two to exist separately.
We tried to “do it right” several times… You know the result.
This is how we lost the Forgotten Kingdoms. This is how we came to lose our masculine-feminine balance. Once again, you know where it brought us.
I need a break; the information is really heavy, and I feel uneasy. It takes trust to let it through, not mentioning acceptance.
I am ready. Go ahead.
Well, there is a lot to be transferred both in words and feelings. There also will be visions as well as direct knowledge “downloads”. Telling you, since you like predictability so much. :) Or, rather, used to. And that’s better, for predictability will be something less and less attainable as we move into a new reality with a speed of Light.
A coffee break… My body is screaming for grounding!
Ready? Yes, we will give you the practical information first. As you wish.
Your dis-balance comes from your thinking that your heart and your body are in different places. They are not. When you realize that – and when you accept it – you’ll find your inner peace. Once again, silence your mind, breathe, and feel your wholeness. If you are One with everyone in your world, how could you be separated in your parts, tell us, the logical one? :)
You create your own “problems” by trying once again to choose. With a totally silent mind, tell us which of your children do you love more? Of course, it is not funny. But what does your silent mind “tells” you?
“Love is One and undividable.”
Well done! You see?
Love Is + You Are = You Are Love
It is about You and Love, or do you see other variables in this statement? It is a function, all right. There could be parameters, too. However, the essence stays the same.
While you Are in your Heart, everyone else is there as well – in the collective Heart.
How much does it contribute to the overall balance of All That Is? Immensely!!! Do you see now the importance of where you are, what you think, and what you choose to feel?
Fear not to feel, and do not filter your feelings. All of them are equally important, for they keep the balance.
And now we are as close to the Gap of Atlantis as we ever have been at the human level. Ready? Good.
Here we go: The Gap. Since the Gap of Atlantis was created (sure, unintentionally, but that is how all the terrible things were created ever since, “unintentionally”), we live in that Gap.
What does it mean for us? The nearly total lack of communication between the physical parts: the head, the heart, and the lower body. Yes, indeed, a triangle again.
Let us go directly to Passion now. You see, that is not an occurrence in a flow of life, but rather an attribute of All That Is, and as such, of the True Unconditional Love.
What does that mean to us? Simple: We Are => We Are Love => We are Passion. And you can label it as you wish or paint it any color, it does not change the picture: Passion Is.
It is time now to listen to what Jim has to say about it. Enjoy.
And relax, for there is so much more to come! Do not forget your smile :)

The Fear of Love
The greatest fear that exists... And that is not what I was planning to talk about today. On the contrary, I was going to talk about Love, for my heart was singing in joy as I learned this morning about a wonderful baby boy who was born to dear friends of mine last night. What a blessing! I know just how much he is loved here, and I know that his life is to be joyous.
And how could it happen that at the same time I witnessed the result of letting the greatest fear on this planet to guide someone’s life?
When parents let a fear for their children’s well being to be the guide, they become overly protective, pushy, and plainly suffocating for the kids. Children learn well. So, they evolve into adults who worry about their kids, as well as their parents. As a result, none of the sides can live and express themselves freely. They develop unhealthy co-dependency, a symbiosis that only appears as mutually beneficial.
The same is true about the keystone of all relationships: a relationship with oneself. Each of us is a unique symbiosis of an inner parent, inner child, and an adult. When the inner relationships are love based, one is open for personal growth by allowing experience of all the feelings, whether those bring joy and happiness, or sorrow and confusion. It is a joy to be able to feel, to be a Human. A true feeling needs not to be translated into actions of any sort. There is always an open choice as how to experience it in one's life. And when you live in your heart, you will never hurt yourself or another. You most certainly will, however, by choosing to go into a fear.
When the choice is made to reject love, it is rarely a conscious choice. The fear of love is so powerful that it literally keeps one blind. A mental list of why-I-am-better-off-without is usually created out of a need to rationalize the decision. Those “reasons” will seem as clever to the author who is in fear as they will sound foolish to you, a listener with an open heart.
An image of a triangle appeared in front of my eyes as I was reflecting on a story I became a witness today. Somehow, triangular shapes keep showing up on the pictures I was taking lately: cracks in stones, clouds in the skies, frost on the airplane window… All of those have a commonality, though; the shapes remind that of an hourglass, with no bottoms on both sides.
Prof. Robert Sternberg, a prominent psychologist and currently the Dean of Arts and Sciences at Tufts University who spent many years at Yale where I had an honor to learn a few valuable lessons from him, contributed a triangular theory of love to the field. The theory characterizes love within the context of relationships by three different components: intimacy, passion, and commitment. He theorizes that an ideal relationship - consummate love - includes all three components. He also describes six more types of love relationships when friendship, for example, occurs when only intimacy is present. The relationship created by nothing but a commitment he labels empty love. Graphically, it is represented by a triangle; hence, the name. The six different types of love are pictured at the corners and sides, with the perfect love safely secluded in the middle.
According to Sternberg's theory, our story here would be an ideal love relationship. There was a great deal of connectedness and understanding, i.e., intimacy, there was a willingness to commit despite the apparent obscurity, and there was Passion I thought existed only in literature. Wherever they went, people kept looking at them, mesmerized. It cannot be faked; it was true love.
And then, suddenly, it crushed.
It did not even produce a big bang; it just sank into something viscous and colorless. And just by observing the process, I realized a lot. (Well, no worries, we helped the people, too. They are going to be just fine, now, when the worst is behind.) Yet the case is not closed, for it is just too common in our world.
Multiple people and relationships are marching in front of me; I watch silently. An amazingly attractive woman becomes a controlling, inflexible, nearly offensive person carrying more masculine energy that she can afford. An incredibly brave and strong man all of a sudden behaves like a rabbit. A very witty person refuses to see that there has been no passion of any sort in the marital love relationship for years, and the spouse is meekly in love with the best friend. A person with unquestionable integrity, well respected by many, suddenly breaks all the promises…
Enough is enough. We know by now how to recognize the fear of love. As such, we are just a single leap from reaching the ground where we accept our feelings for what they are, where we can be true to self, where we can trust our heart. Are we ready for the leap?
For those who understand, it is the fear of love that caused Atlantis to sink for as many times as it did. Add one more, for it just sank once again after emerging as a crystal tower exactly two weeks ago. Did not last too long, this one. And I also realized what was it about Thoth, the god, who betrayed the Mother of All That Is and Isis as one of Her embodiments on Earth: that same fear of love. He was all-powerful, and yet the fear was mightier. Be aware; choose for yourself.
Today is a good day to choose. This morning, at 4:44 a.m. PT (7:44 a.m. ET), the nature started a new page. The spring equinox can be perceived as a moment of staying in balance. Why not to choose it to be a continuous state of being? Life is about balance – create it, live it, enjoy it!
And today, as we welcome a new person into our world, let’s make it a beautiful one indeed. Welcome, Max! We love you, and that love is All That Is. May you trust your heart all ways, live fully, and love fearlessly.
And how could it happen that at the same time I witnessed the result of letting the greatest fear on this planet to guide someone’s life?
When parents let a fear for their children’s well being to be the guide, they become overly protective, pushy, and plainly suffocating for the kids. Children learn well. So, they evolve into adults who worry about their kids, as well as their parents. As a result, none of the sides can live and express themselves freely. They develop unhealthy co-dependency, a symbiosis that only appears as mutually beneficial.
The same is true about the keystone of all relationships: a relationship with oneself. Each of us is a unique symbiosis of an inner parent, inner child, and an adult. When the inner relationships are love based, one is open for personal growth by allowing experience of all the feelings, whether those bring joy and happiness, or sorrow and confusion. It is a joy to be able to feel, to be a Human. A true feeling needs not to be translated into actions of any sort. There is always an open choice as how to experience it in one's life. And when you live in your heart, you will never hurt yourself or another. You most certainly will, however, by choosing to go into a fear.
When the choice is made to reject love, it is rarely a conscious choice. The fear of love is so powerful that it literally keeps one blind. A mental list of why-I-am-better-off-without is usually created out of a need to rationalize the decision. Those “reasons” will seem as clever to the author who is in fear as they will sound foolish to you, a listener with an open heart.
An image of a triangle appeared in front of my eyes as I was reflecting on a story I became a witness today. Somehow, triangular shapes keep showing up on the pictures I was taking lately: cracks in stones, clouds in the skies, frost on the airplane window… All of those have a commonality, though; the shapes remind that of an hourglass, with no bottoms on both sides.
Prof. Robert Sternberg, a prominent psychologist and currently the Dean of Arts and Sciences at Tufts University who spent many years at Yale where I had an honor to learn a few valuable lessons from him, contributed a triangular theory of love to the field. The theory characterizes love within the context of relationships by three different components: intimacy, passion, and commitment. He theorizes that an ideal relationship - consummate love - includes all three components. He also describes six more types of love relationships when friendship, for example, occurs when only intimacy is present. The relationship created by nothing but a commitment he labels empty love. Graphically, it is represented by a triangle; hence, the name. The six different types of love are pictured at the corners and sides, with the perfect love safely secluded in the middle.
