"Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself."  Samuel Levenson

"Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of unhappiness."  Lao-Tzu

For a period of about 8 years as I engaged with one life challenge after another, I found myself questioning the concept of happiness. Here I was on a so-called spiritual journey, on ‘the path’ as others would say, and yet I felt anything but happy with it. I experienced interim periods of ecstatic joy and divine inspirations that kept me going, and then the grey cloud would appear overhead again and I began to question the entire nature of my journey. Would I ever really feel happy? I was trusting in my highest guidance and I knew beyond doubt that I was doing the right things and that there were deep wisdoms unfolding, yet still, I didn’t seem to be able to sustain a ‘happy’ state of being.

As I looked around at others, it seemed that many people were happier than I was. At the same time I was noticing a plethora of workshops, books and scientific programs all pledging “Instant happiness”, “Three quick steps to Happiness” or other similar promises. We are bombarded from every angle by clever marketers with guarantees that their product will make us happy, even that we need it to be happy. Nations and governments have introduced Happiness indexes for their countries and it has become another comparison game – which nation is happier? Happiness has become a competitive domain, a symptom of a society dominated by the misplaced values. Each time our expectations are not met by that book, that workshop, that product we set off on another quest in pursuit of the elusive happiness.

A dear friend posted this quote up on my FB page with a birthday greeting, and I simply had to share it as I found it absolutely delightful!!

This is an absolutely MUST WATCH documentary on GMO's and using our consciousness in an awakened and powerful way! Compelling viewing...J

The Grand Sextile of 29 July could also be called the Cosmic Diamond. While others are focussing on the 'Star of David' or 'Star Tetrahedron' formation, the unseen higher dimensional form of this alignment is that of the octahedron.
As Douglas Vogt noted in his book, "Reality Revealed, The Theory of Multidimensional Reality',
"The Hexagon is really a two-dimensional form of the octahedral crystal" Pg 281
If you draw an octahedral crystal looking down on it at a 45 degree angle, what you will see is a hexagon.

The qualities of this specific alignment are also significant, and as Randy Bruner, astrologer, notes the key aspects of this sextile are :


1. The opportunity for the power of love and beauty to overcome the power of war and religion. 
2. The opportunity for  the power of beauty to transform materialism. 
3. The power of transformation to bring about our highest hopes and dreams through the power of love.

These are all powerful attributes of the diamond, and this represents a profound opportunity for a deepening and amplification of our transformational ability in service to humanity. Let us use this transition and electromagnetic, energetic gift with consciousness and wisdom.

It Is Not Fate versus Freewill, It Is Fate and Freewill
as received by Gillian MacBeth-Louthan
From The Quantum Awakening Newsletter

As spring pushes her way into every pore of our being, we feel The need to birth another level of our own being from the inside out.  Making life uncomfortable and tempers flair. All of earth mirrors this urge to move forward out of the long winter of waiting into a place that can only be seen by the beholder. We unfurl our closed wings and step out of the black hole into the future.

We look at ourselves seeing a newness that has not made its way to the surface as of yet. We feel compelled and driven to move out of our winter blues searching blindly for those rose tinted glasses we once wore. We are seasoned like a good wine that seeks a crystal goblet to fill. Every day life gives us another morsel to digest, an appetizer that keeps us from our intended destination. Regrets and guilt trips pile up like laundry, as we cling to what was and what could have been. We mourn for easier times and reflect upon what once was. We did not have it so bad after all, of course hindsight is 20/20.

The element of time itself has quickened like a speedway driver we go around and around never seeing the exit of our maze.  People are angry with themselves, the world, their choices and life in general. Earth herself heaves with fault lines as she points fingers at her very human stewards.  Everything comes to the surface just in time to be fed by the solar emanations and gamma bursts from deep space. 

We are all changed; we are all becoming the galactic human.  Many will want to leave the earth and not stay for the curtain call. Those of us that signed on for the duration do our best to inform those that still sleep, but it seems they have all pushed the mute button and do not hear or adhere to any information that will allow them to move thru these energetic minefields.

This energy is not about doomsday it is about a promise we made long before we came to earth. Within us lives a single rose, around it lives many weeds, do we focus on the rose or waste our time pulling up the weeds forgetting all about the sweet scent of the rose? 

More and more situations will unexpectedly rise like a full moon that faces the early sun. More and more interruptions of our safety and peace will taking us off the path we are so destined to walk. Everyday something will try to steal our light and our joy. Everyday we will stray from the course of light that we set sail upon. Everyday we will ask for forgiveness, we ask to become a better person on our way home to our divinity.  

When God created humans, he stretched creation, pushing himself to be more light, allowing himself growing room, to love more and to become more. The Universe sees the whole picture and stays the course without liability.

We the mere mortals have a much tougher job of it.  As soon as we see the future, we change it. Every time we look at the future, even for just for a fleeting second, we change it. The future changed because it was seen. As seers, we are all destined to shift the outcome everyday. It is not fate versus freewill, it is fate and freewill. A vision is just a snap shot of a possible future.

The energies coming from deep space via the portal of our sun are photonic of nature. Solar winds (The outward flow of solar particles and magnetic fields from the Sun) blow us hither and yon as the solar limbs reach out and touch us. The geomagnetic field of the earth shifts as geomagnetic time is accelerated. A light bridge is formed as the solar noise storms increase in strength. (A transient enhancement of solar radio emission, consisting of elevated background emissions.  These storms may last hours or days.) The energies around earth  look as if specters drive the wheel of the universe,  taking a plasma pause every now and then. The sun is crowned with polar plumes as a proton event of unexpected proportion enters the field of earth. Solar constant is reached

As the solar winds raise the hairs on mankind, two-ribbon flares (A flare that has developed as a pair of bright strands (ribbons) on both sides of the solar magnetic field) are tied around the old Akashic oak tree.

Event horizons schedule themselves without asking permission (an event horizon is a boundary in spacetime most often an area surrounding a blackhole) rearranging the hologram of earth into a place that will assist with the solar creational flux that is inflencing all of mankind. The playing field of earth will be changed forever. A "field" is a matrix, a region of influence, that connects two or more points in space or time. In other words, a field is held together by something capable of manifesting a noticeable change.

The Akashic field is presumed to exist in physical reality even though it cannot be observed directly. The Akashic field is like the universe's super computer system.  It is a system that acts as the central storehouse of all information for every individual who has ever lived upon the earth. The Akashic Records contain every deed, word, feeling, thought, and intent that has ever occurred at any time in the history of the world.  These records connect each one of us to one another. They mold and shape human consciousness. They are a portion of Divine Mind. They embody an ever-changing fluid array of possible futures from the data that has already been accumulated.

Akasha is a light carrying "ether," It is the medium that carries the "zero-point field.” The zero-point field is a "unified vacuum, an "energy sea." this vacuum transports light, and sound and generates the holographic field that is the memory of the universe.  The Akashic Field holds everything that we are. Our energy is never destroyed, Nor is any possible future destroyed.

Our lives have become very complex, causing the Akashic Field to reach a critical mass. We are continuously storing information in the Akashic Field, as we are not able to hold and process all the incoming energy and information and shifts we are destined to experience. 

The Akashic field is like a "vibratory cocoon, which turns at a speed seven times that of light. This cocoon acts as a blotter, absorbing and remembering every event. The Akashic Field stores every single thought and response we have regarding all life situations in all lifetimes. They are like the DNA of the universe, they are the soul's journey thru time.

As we enter these emancipated solar vibrations as a planet, we have access to this field of inquiry. Quantum Entanglement will become a way of life.  Slipping in and out of time and memory. All episodes of solar activity influence time and how we perceive it. The past present and future meet for a spot of tea. There is no getting away from the great Cosmic OZ that knows all and sees all.

The 12-12-12 Recalibration process was a beautiful and gentle easing into a place of inner calm, peace and love. A perfect alignment with the incoming energies serving to uplift and elevate us into a higher and expanded state of balance!
Thank you to all of the beautiful diamond souls who shared and contributed their energy to this day, and all others around the planet who held the focus for anchoring in the influx of light.

Below are some of the sharings from participants in the 12-12-12 Diamond Recalibration. The process is perfect to help maintain this elevated state from here on. You can access the presentation as well as the downloadable mp3 of the process here. 

Some comments from participants :

"Thanks for the amazing meditation, It took me to places I have never been and I felt things I have never felt before! C & I both loved it. We were half an hour late for work, but it was really worth it!"

"That was really beautiful. I could really feel powerful energy and it appeared very golden. Today I feel like I could fly!"

" Thank you. I went into a deep meditative state and had many visions. Interesting that I felt the need to do some cleaning this morning before participating, like I was clearing the way for the new"
  
"I had amazing experiences with this. It was awesome. Thank you"

"Thank you for a truly beautiful experience. I am having a lovely day today (13th) - just feeling more peaceful, settled, content"

"There is a sense of calmness and those of us who have experienced giving birth have  likened it to that moment after all the exhausting labour, when the head is engaged and everything is lining up,it all goes quiet and  there is a time to pause and get your breath back, before the final big push. And then the euphoria of birthing a new life. And then as you say so much to learn and experience. Thank you so much for all the research and effort you put into keeping us all so well informed and prepared".

"Love you - I fell asleep to the meditation last night. Keep shining!"

"Thanks so much for the beautiful meditation today. The power and energy was amazing!"

SOLARA'S SURF UPDATE: DECEMBER 11, 2012
The Sacred Pause continues as the Quantum Surf rises ever higher....

For the past several months, our Express Trains into the New and True have been speeding along, going super fast, taking on new passengers, unloading cargo, adding new cars, pulling their load up steep inclines and zooming through the valleys.

Now, it feels as if they have temporarily come to a stop. We are sitting still and all the cars are being unhooked. Yes, the train is being thoroughly cleaned and worn parts are being replaced, but it feels so strange to not be outwardly zooming along.

After all the activity that we've grown used to, some of us are feeling marooned and occasionally bored. Even with the overlay of Christmas distractions, some of us feel a bit melancholy because we carry the imprint of how the world shall be, and it hasn't yet fully manifested.

During this time, we can't invent new things to do to push us forward; instead we have to wait until they naturally appear. But we can rearrange, reorganize and recalibrate what is around us. We can become more familiar with our New Landscape, not so much by physically exploring it, but more by energetically feeling it.

There's the strong sense that covers are sliding back, revealing new layers and depths of our Expanded HERE and NOW that we haven't seen before. This is why it feels as if our Express Trains have stopped, but they haven't. It's all part of our adjustment to the vast new realm of the Expanded Diamond of the Unseen. The energies are building up to something HUGE.

The Eleventh Gate Activation is continuing until the end of the year. Many of us are still experiencing it in our extremely active and deeply profound dream-state. Tomorrow is the 12.12.12, followed soon after by 21.12.12. All of these momentous events are parts of a much larger event. They are all different phases of the same thing. One massive tsunami of Trueness and Love that is sweeping over the planet, affecting everything and everyone.

The Sacred Pause will end at any moment. Until then, dive as deep into the new energies as you can. There is no turning back, NO DOWN - NO RETURN.

With True Heart Love,
Solara

Many of us know well that the power to heal lies within us. This great little movie adds reinforcement and some great inspirational stories from people who have overcome tremendous health challenges and demonstrate the power of the human spirit. Worth watching!

Thank you to everyone who supported and participated in the "Unfolding the Jewel in the Lotus" process earlier today! Technical glitches aside, it was truly wonderful and very moving, and bleow is some of the early feedback from participants who shared their energy to create a powerful flow of energy into the diamond grids. 

Please feel free to add your comments and experiences for everyone to share in.
With love, Julie x
