No matter where we go in the world, Barbara and I experience lightworkers who have been holding the door open for us. They have planted and nurtured seeds for many years. Some of these people have been in this energy for a very long time and most of them are very excited about the fact that we are using the same words and principles that they have been using for a long time. Many of them were carrying this information before it was popular. The challenge is that now that humanity is taking a gradual turn, they often appear to have lost their sense of direction. It does not seem fair that they have been the ones to plant the original seeds only to have others come along and take over the harvest. According to the Group, I am now thinking like a human. The Group says that it was only possible to achieve in this manner. When you ask these people, none of them are upset about how things have played out. They are truly happy to see the light going mainstream. The one thing that all of them seem to have in common is that they don't know where to go from here. It's as if they fulfilled their Plan B contracts early and now they are waiting for their next opportunity. There are also those that feel the strong pull into Plan B. They know in their hearts that they wish to move forward and find their own expression of the truth within their hearts. Many have raised their vibrations to a level where they are no longer a vibrational match for their jobs. They feel they must leave and move into something that feeds them. The question is what? I find this to be a common dilemma faced by Lightworkers in all parts of the world. The Group says that we are in the second wave of empowerment. We are not fully accustomed to the way the process works. This is why we often feel stuck. They say we are now carrying more of our own power than ever before. Our connection to our own higher selves is stronger than has ever been possible on the gameboard up to now. The key is that we are responsible for writing our next scripts. We have always written our own contracts but never from this side of the veil. This is for all those who get the wake up call and open their eyes only to ask the question: "What now?" |
Greetings from Home.
This time is very special for us. In these brief moments we offer you the re-membrance of home. We are very honored that you have asked for this information. It is with the greatest love for you that we present information for moving comfortably into the higher vibrations of the new planet Earth. We offer you this information for your own discernment and empowerment. We ask that you only take that which resonates within your own heart and leave the rest without judgment. We offer you the feelings and vibrations of home in an effort to re-mind you of your own magnificence. It is our greatest desire to help you to walk fully in your own power fully re-membering your own connections to the whole.
What we offer you is nothing more than words on paper. As the words are lifted from the paper and run through your own heart you have the opportunity to use that information in your own lives. Let us re-mind you that there is no judgment as to your choices. All choices are honored for they are expressions of the God within each of you. We have a deep welling of love for you as we see your experience getting easier as a result of finding applications for this information. It is not the information that has the power, for all truth emanates from a singular source. The power is within you, as you express your inner truth. There are many flavors of the truth available in your expression of the gameboard. We ask you to listen to any that pull at your heart, re-membering to trust your own heart over all others. There are no flavors of the truth, outside of yourself, that hold more power than within your own heart.
The love we have for you can not be described in terms that you could understand on a conscious level. At this stage we will continue to transmit the vibrations of home through the words that you receive in this manner. Understand that often there are messages that will reach you on many different levels at one time. We understand your confusion at the complexity of some of this information. As we have told you, all truth is simple and uncomplicated. Please understand that we speak to many with different messages through the same words and that is often misinterpreted as complexity. We ask you to only take that which is yours and release the rest in love. There are also times that we speak to your heart directly while your mind is busy with the words. This is as it should be, and is done with the consent of your higher self. As with all things, we ask you to allow only those thoughts that leave you more empowered to reside within your field. Becoming a master of your thoughts is a large step to empowerment.
We take this time together to speak of the next step for those of you moving further into your empowerment. Many of you have felt the wake up call and set your intent to step firmly into Plan B. Some of you have found Plan B contracts waiting for you as you opened the door. Others sit patiently waiting for the doors to open with seemingly nothing happening. Once the intent is set, the energy begins to line up for the co-creation process. If the energy and intent are also not open to receive, then the co-creation will not manifest. To facilitate the move forward into the next contract it is necessary to fully release all that holds you to the old one. This goes much deeper for you than your first thoughts may take you. Those of you who accepted contracts to distribute the early seeds of light, found it necessary to adopt belief systems that helped you to accomplish the tasks you had chosen. In the lower vibrations of the planet these attitudes and beliefs served you well. The pendulum was moving back toward center but was still very far to one side. These beliefs were the balance to that off-center energy that allowed you to center your energy field and complete your contract. In many cases it is these same beliefs that are now holding you firmly in the old energy.
There is a segment of Master Healers on the Gameboard that we have called the Aboriginal Healers. These are the group of honored Master Healers who have agreed to sow the seeds of light since the beginning, even when it was less than popular. Many of you on the Gameboard now have been holding this energy faithfully, only to find yourselves stagnant at a time when many others are awakening. We tell you that without the work you have done, this awakening would not have been possible. The original Plan A contracts of the vast majority of the Aboriginal Healers is now complete. At the junction of this completion, these Healers are now faced with a new choice.
For those who choose to walk forward into new contracts, it is necessary to release all attachments to the old contracts that have been completed. The Game was originally scripted to include the alternate outcomes of Plan A and Plan B. When scripting your Plan A scenario, you included an ending that would have brought disasters and Earth changes that would have removed a large part of the population of the planet. The timing of these endings, as originally scripted, was at this time and the years just ahead. The experience of the Phantom Death allows your spirit to fully release and begin anew. The experience of the Phantom Death is very real and in many ways it is your actual scripted death you are experiencing. The gift of this experience is a full release of the old Light, clearing the way to carry the higher vibrations of the new Light. As always, on the Gameboard of Free Choice, it is your option to return home during this experience. Very few will take this course as they have spent so much energy positioning themselves for what is now at hand. The experience is a true experience in every detail. It is even common for one to see the Greeters who contracted to meet them upon transition. This experience is one that will gift you with new beginnings. We ask you to embrace this opportunity to re-evaluate the beliefs that have so effectively brought you to this point. View the Game before you with the wide, eager eyes of a child, for that is very close to the reality from our perspective.
The scenario for the Gameboard, as you originally wrote it, said that if the overall vibration of the Earth were raised to a certain level then Plan B would be an option for those making that choice. Even as the first few began to move into the process you have termed ascension, it was not thought that many on the Gameboard would awaken. You have shifted this many times over. Now we tell you that some of the portals of energy that were not to be fully open until the year 2012 are being made available even now. This is a time to make decisions about your next steps and set your intent. The energy and the Planet are now aligned, presenting opportunities for the next stage of work for those who choose it. Previously all contracts of higher vibration were scripted on this side of the veil. The work you have done in raising the vibration of the planet has opened the door for new opportunities and now it is up to you, to take the quill, and purposely script the next stage of your Game. Never before has this been done during the Game, yet here you are standing at the door once again moving even further. Even though the veil keeps you from seeing who you really are, your magnificence is evident as the God within each of you once again shines through. Release the beliefs that bind you to the lower vibrations and seek the next step with passion. Look only to joy in life for the God within you deserves nothing less. This joy marks the highest potential for your next steps on the Gameboard. We have spoken of the crystals that have marked your path thus far. These carry the vibrations of home and have served to mark your path of least resistance. Now, many of you have reached the part of the path where the crystals appear to end. Fear not, for your heart contains the connection to your higher self that is not restricted by the veil. Release your judgments, set your intent and have the courage to follow your joy. This will lead you straight to the creation of Home on your side of the veil.
"What is my Plan B contract?" This is the main question of Lightworkers. We ask you to shift your focus ever so slightly from searching to creating for this is your true power. If only you knew how powerful you truly are. Your higher self is now waiting for the next move from the Gameboard. You have earned the ability to carry your full power while still in the bubble of biology. All that remains is for you to exercise that power. While it is not possible to show you your own Plan B contract, it is possible to show you some possibilities. What we will share with you is a view from a perspective of energy. In your humanness you identify readily with labels and descriptions so we will indulge you here. Please understand that what follows is a suggestion of where to look for your joy and passion. Often these descriptions will overlap and intermingle with one another. We ask that you keep in mind these are words that are our representation of energy as viewed through the eyes of the Keeper. As these roles develop in your experience, they may carry other labels. You may find that you incorporate several of these attributes. This is not a definitive listing, but rather an opportunity to see some of the potentials from a higher perspective. What we are doing here is to complicate this just enough for you to accept the seeds we are offering. Enjoy the reflection as you view yourself in these settings.
Master Healers
Transition Teams
Vibrational Healers
Aboriginal Healers
A Master Healer is one who has mastered the art of Healing. Often this has been accomplished in previous lifetimes and brought forward. A healer is one who creates space for others to feel safe enough to heal themselves. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways and modalities on the Gameboard. Many of you within this family are of this vibration. The vast majority came in holding this energy quietly for there were very few asking for healing in the lower vibrations of the Game. At this time there are many awakening Master Healers for with the evolution of humanity there is much to be done.
Transition Teams are a special segment of the Master Healers that focus on easing the transition. The work of this segment of Healers will have a vast impact on humanity as a whole, in times to come. These are distinguished Healers indeed.
Vibrational Healers are the honored division of the Master Healers that hold the keys to advancing biology. All within your field is expressed as vibration. These higher modalities will offer tools for moving and living comfortably in the higher vibrations of the New Planet Earth.
Aboriginal (Original) Healers are the ones largely responsible for planting the seeds that have led to the advancement of humanity. These are the beloved beings that have faithfully grounded the energy of Light even in the face of adversity. Most of them will readily create new roles for themselves placing them, once again, at the cutting edge of advancement.
Architects
Architects of the Heart
Architects of the Light
Architects are the designers of the systems that will lead you to full reunion with your power. These are the beloved beings that will make room on the Gameboard for the empowered human. These are the ones who will devise systems of governments and communities that will make it possible to live in harmony and peace and also to make space for the return of the Children of Chrystal Vibration.
Architects of the Heart are also usually Master Healers. These are gentle, powerful beings that find great joy and passion in balancing the heart center of the whole of humanity. This is usually accomplished through the implementation of projects and systems designed to incorporate the balanced male/female energies on the Gameboard.
Architects of the Light are a special group of beings who will develop the higher aspects of incorporating Light into daily life. As humanity returns to ethereal biology, this will provide a pivotal role. Very few are on the Gameboard at this time. Many will emerge as the vibrations increase.
Cosmic Connectors
Netlinkers
Weavers of the Net or 'Latticeworkers'
Cosmic Connectors are those seen now on the Gameboard who bring people of like vibration together. The majority of these beings are also Aboriginal Healers. They naturally carry a vortex of energy that comfortably attracts others of similar vibration into their field. An important role they are playing in your time is to provide space for the re-union of spiritual family. These grand beings revel in connecting fragmented energy strands. This creates more places for the Light to travel and therefore creates more Light for all.
Netlinkers are a special faction of the Cosmic Connectors who find expression through the use of technology. Often blending spirituality, biology and technology they encourage advancement in all these areas.
Weavers of the Net, or 'Latticeworkers', are of a very high vibration. They are not yet supported on the gameboard but the forerunners are in place now, to plant seeds for their work yet to come. These are Universal energy workers that will move the Game to a fuller understanding of the connection to the Universal energy grid.
Energy Workers
Guardians of the Universal Energy
Integrators of Love (Blended energy)
Energy Workers are a group of people who are experts at observing the natural flow of Universal Energy. Mapping the flow and proper positioning within this flow are their main focus. By placing intent in the flow at just the right location all things can be accomplished effortlessly. These are sought after teachers and advisors in many areas of life on the new Planet Earth.
Guardians of the Universal Energy are a select few who work in very high levels of organizations and governments. They oversee the actions of these organizations to ensure that they are in accord with the Universal energy flow as it relates to the evolving Gameboard. The natural flow of energy with the Universe is to find balance through blending. All actions in opposition to this flow, especially actions of the collective, produce ripples in this flow and restrict the energy available to all. These players will be responsible for viewing all actions of the collective, compared to the flow of Universal Energy. Like all leaders in the higher vibrations, they are trusted, dedicated servants.
Integrators of Love are people who are constantly searching for ways to ground the Universal Energy in our daily lives. Many of these will be leaders and educators of the highest order. They will offer humanity methods for integrating the highest form of Light into daily life on the Gameboard.
Mechanics
Mechanics are those who have a talent for doing. Currently, their greatest joy is to find expression of their creative talents through the use of their hands. As humankind evolves, their work will move to higher and more critical levels. These are the honored doers who bring completion to the energy circle. Unlike the time you now occupy, these workers will be in these positions by choice and not by default. Without these beings all would come to an abrupt halt. In your time these beings work together with architects providing technology to the Gameboard.
Librarians of Light
Record Keepers
Mentors of Knowledge (Educators)
Keepers of the Flame
Librarians are the ones who will eventually take their place as the Directors of Knowledge. These are people who love to help others find answers. Many are Master Healers who have found ways of healing by leading others to find their own truth. These are the people who will play a large role in helping others to find, and use, their own power. Much the way librarians of your time lead others to find their truth, so will they. The direction you are heading will place you in a position where many will want to know how it was done on the Gameboard of Free Choice. These are the people who will point the way to the information. A loving, tolerant demeanor is an important attribute that these grand entities carry.
Record Keepers are the historians who accurately keep the records so that mis-directions of energy need not be repeated. These are much like the historians in your time. The role will become even more important as the course of events unfolds.
Mentors of the Knowledge are educators who work side by side with others to integrate the highest of lessons into daily life. Seen in your time as teachers, these are people who find great expression in helping others to locate and learn the tools to move forward. Most of these revered beings also hold the title of Master Healer and this is the way they express their healership.
Keepers of the Flame are a very select group of specialists. They are highly esteemed Mentors that focus entirely on the Children of the New Earth. The challenges that face the children of the New Planet Earth have never before been encountered. These dear beings work entirely planting the seeds of your new Game. These are the ones who now work with the Indigo children that are rearranging the paradigms of humanity. Soon they will hold the responsibility to create space for the return of the Children of Chrystal Vibration. They are revered and trusted servants, faithfully holding the flame for all of humanity.
Guardians of the Earth
Grounders of the Energy
Keepers of the Grid
Guardians of the Earth are the trusted servants that have accepted the responsibility to hold the sacred energy of the Mother. Their work began in your time, not long ago, when the holders of the energy turned over to humans the guardianship of the Earth. The Whales and Dolphins stay on as stewards in service to humans, but now, humanity has advanced enough to firmly hold the responsibility of the care of the Mother energy.
Grounders of the Energy are a fun-loving group of beings that firmly ground the energy of the higher vibrations into your existence in the third, and soon the fifth dimensions. They relate to the pleasures of the Game. These beings have been seen in the past as those having hedonistic tendencies. We tell you now the work they do in grounding and balancing the energy has made much of your advancement possible. In your time you have perceived these people as being of lower vibration. We tell you that they do work on levels that are very important to the balance of the Gameboard and this will be a respected vocation indeed.
Keepers of the Grid are beings dedicated to maintaining the grids. Their first work will be in the area of discovering the grids that encircle the planet and provide habitable energy space. Once these discoveries are revealed these people will spring into action to create conscious interfaces with these grids. As the understanding of the grids of the planet increase, these beings will begin to work with the Universal Energy Grid, thus becoming Latticeworkers.
Ambassadors of Light
Ambassadors of the light are the ones who carry the Light to others. They have been seen as leaders, teachers, shamans, gurus and many other labels that you have used. They are all Master Healers and many also carry the attributes of Mentors. These are dearly loved beings for they have selflessly placed themselves in a position of speaking their truth in all situations. They have set the energy at the very high personal risk of falling prey to their own ego. As the motivation of humanity moves from survival to achieving unity, their task will remain similar in nature but they will be even more scrutinized as discernment becomes more widely practiced. This process will move them from Teacher to Facilitator and eventually to that of a Validator. Together with the Architects, they will devise new methods to speak their truth.
Propagators of the Seeds
Harvesters of Love
Propagators of the seeds are beings that will work together with the Earth to provide a comfortable environment. Some of the activities are as that of a Farmer in your time. They work in conjunction with the Guardians of the Earth providing products from the essence of the Earth. When this work is combined with the conscious awareness that the Mother is a living breathing entity then this work will move to the next level and be utilized to its fullest. Much will be learned about the interaction with the Mother and this will lead to purposely planting seeds of energy and Light.
Harvesters of the Love work energetically with the Propagators of the Seeds yet their role is quite different. These gentle beings are the ones who will harvest the natural energy of the Earth. There are many natural energy resources that lay untouched in your time. In planting the seeds of energy and Light these beings will find the ways of harvesting these products of the Earth.
Scientists and Alchemists
Scientists and Alchemists of your future will enable the blending of the physical and metaphysical sciences. This will open many doors for the Master Healers that work with biology. As the physical bodies continue shifting to carry more light, it will prompt the search for an even higher truth. These scientists will connect the energy strands in this area. The incorporation of and study of energy will open doors not yet imagined. The study of the very small and the study of the very large will lead to discoveries that even chaos holds order. These truths will lead you to a re-membering of your own power and your true position within the Universe.
What we have described to you here is an energy view of typical Plan B contracts. This list is certainly not complete and we ask you to be patient if the attributes of your heart's work were not covered here. It is offered only to suggest to you roles that are a part of your higher existence. Some of these are not yet supported on the planet and that alone is one reason many feel as if they are not moving forward. In this case the collective vibration of humanity is not yet supporting the work you will be doing. In these instances we ask you to focus on the attributes that call you to this work and find ways to use those attributes in other areas of daily life. This will provide you the joy that you seek and bring you the vibrations of home.
For us to bring you this information has brought us great pleasure. The Love we feel for you brings us completion beyond your understanding. We too are an integral part of the whole of God, and in that manner, we are true family. This message particularly has been of great joy to us. By offering this information in this fashion, we too have had the opportunity to play the Grand Game of Hide and Seek through your eyes. For this we are truly great-full. Our connection to you is one that runs very deeply. Recently our connection has grown much stronger to you. We tell you that it is not us that has moved. Your advancement has opened many doors as the collective vibration of humanity is now in the process of building Home on your side of the veil. It is in the deepest respect and highest of honor for you and your work, that we ask you to treat each other with respect, nurture one another and play well together . . . the Group
There are a lot of very exciting things coming to us as a direct result of walking into Plan B. Imagine being in full contact with your higher self. Imagine not having to sleep one third of our lives. Imagine living for 400 years. These things are in motion, thanks to the work we have already done. Many of you are responsible for a foundation of all of this work. We wish to re-member to say thank you for a job well done. Let us take that opportunity now. Nice work! Now - - - - - - - - - Ready for the next assignment?
Big Hugs and gentle nudges

Keeper of the Sword

Draw your energy within for a moment and allow it to find its own center. Feel the strength return as you prepare for the journey ahead. There it is. . .
See the sign post up ahead. You are now entering the empowerment zone
Take a deep breath and feel the energy as it enters through the top of your head. Feel the familiar tingling as the energy spreads to the rest of your body. Ask your guides and Higher Self to join us for this journey. Feeling a gentle pressure on your shoulder you realize that they are with you every step of the way. Feel the energy within the room begin to swirl and blend. It is as if your entire life was on a canvas and now someone was smudging all the colors together. See the colors now blending and swirling, forming a circle of brilliant color in the center. As the circle of your favorite color gets larger it also begins to become transparent. Now your sight is beginning to clear.
On the other side of the circle of color sits a person you know well from your past. You are aware that there are several entities there but your focus is on the one you know so well. You smile as you greet this person with a warm hug. Then you hold them out to examine them more clearly and you re-member that they crossed over some time ago. A flood of questions enter your mind and they work their way to your mouth. Before you can ask, this person speaks to you in an even tone: "I am here as your greeter, and this is your time. I have come for you as agreed, before you began this part of the Game. You asked me to be your greeter and to help you return home." For a moment you are astounded at the calmness and the wonderful feelings of peace you have. You ask the question, "Am I dead?" The answer is returned to you instantly almost without waiting for you to finish your question. "No, you are not. Death as you are thinking of it does not exist. You are simply at a juncture point in your life where time and space do not exist. This is a point of transition. You do not re-member for the effects of the veil are still with you. I am here to remind you that this is the time you planned for your exit from the Gameboard." Your mouth opens and the words fall out, "What if I don't want to go?" The answer is accompanied with the feelings of love far beyond description: "The choice is entirely yours to stay or to go. Your contracts are complete, and I am here keeping the appointment we made long ago. I am here to re-mind you of your original script and point the direction home if you decide to leave." For just a moment you think about the options you are faced with. In that instant you feel the excitement you have had about the evolution of humanity. Your guide speaks and they seem to be on the same thought. The choices are yours to make. You have earned that right. If you decide to stay, you will script a new contract and begin to work on higher levels. The choice is yours.
You feel the excitement building within as you think about the possibilities of a new contract. "I CHOOSE TO STAY!" You shout at the top of your lungs. On the face of your dear friend you see a smile forming. The smile builds until it totally engulfs their face. "I thought you would" is the answer that comes from the smiling face. With that, this dearly loved person begins to fade from view and you find yourself again in the midst of the swirling colors. "We will speak again" are the last words you hear as they disappear completely from view.
Again the circle of color forms at the center of the swirling and begins to grow. As it grows it fades from view to reveal that you are sitting in a chair in your own room. Your memories of the experience and your friend return and you wonder if you had been dreaming. You think to yourself that it was all so real and that it did not seem like a dream. Deciding to stand, you begin to move only to find that your body is not reacting to the request. Somehow you know in you heart that you are not in danger. After all, it was only a few moments ago that you could have left. Looking around, you see that everything is in order and there are others in the room with you. They are the same beings that accompanied your friend. They have this Lightness to them as if they were backlit and glowing. The Light is so intense that you can not see their faces directly. A feeling of deep love comes from these beings and in that instant you are aware that they are Angels.
Without speaking they communicate to you: "We are here with information to help you adjust to the higher vibrations you are now entering." With that, several of the Angels stand and form a circle around you. They hold out their hands, as streams of energy flow from their hand to your heart. As they stop the flow you are aware that you now have full control over your body once again. Now you speak out loud: "When do I get my new contracts?" Even though you can not see the faces of the angels it is apparent that they are smiling at you. "Follow your joy" are the only words you hear. Without a word they break the circle that was around you and reveal, in the corner of the room, a desk that was not there before. You start to ask what the desk is for but before you can say anything they are gone. Standing to approach the desk you see the bright plume of a feather appear. Getting closer you see a beautiful quill and parchment paper that lies on the desk. At the top of the paper in bold script is your true name. You pick up the Quill and with excitement in your heart you write on the paper: Plan B.
After a moment the words begin to flow as the ideas begin to formulate.
Soon you are writing your hearts desire on the paper in front of you.
This is the grandest dream you have ever had, and yet you know it is not a dream.
Finally you are done and the time has come for you to sign the contract at the bottom.
With a rush of excitement you dip the pen in the ink and with a flowing hand sign your true name to the contract.
After scripting your new contract you return to the place where you began this journey. You will always carry the experience with you that happened this day. This was not a dream. Now that you are fully back into consciousness you re-member this experience with excitement and great anticipation. From this day forward, every time you see a feather, it will serve to re-mind you of this choice and the great possibilities on the Gameboard of Free Choice.
And so it is- - - - - - -
