And it’s 2018… Happy New Year ;)

So welcome back everyone - and to kick off, I have to comment that I feel ready for this year in a way that I haven’t for the past few years.

When my big Dark Night started in 2012, the number 2017 started coming up, and by 2013/4, I’d accepted that this period would last until the end of 2017. And now 2017 is over…. so I’m really keen to see what 2018 holds, truth be told.

The year is off to quite a banging start so far, and I get a sense that things will be busier and moving forward… but like everyone, I have no idea what that looks like.

One thing many of us became aware of last year is that there is very little, if anything, in the secular world we want in our lives.

This is probably our biggest delay as we move forward now - we don’t know what the world we’re moving forward into looks like.

Depending on where you are in your development, this is going to manifest in different ways and statements - one of the most common that will come through is “I don’t know what I want.”

This is really accurate - you don’t know what you want, because you’ve never seen an example of the kind of life we’re moving towards.

So there are many of us that are grappling, reaching for new ideas…. move to an off grid community, build a tiny home, start some sort of holistic business…. and that’s where we stall. Because this is what it all comes down to isn’t it?

No matter what we decide, for the next few months and years, really what we have to do is earn an ever-increasing monthly income, in a tighter and tighter job market and economy.

And the truth is that people are really starting to get desperate out there - doing bigger jobs for less and less money, because they have to eat. Engaging in activities they would never have otherwise considered…. and that makes it even harder for those of us with ethics to operate out there in the “real world”.

One small example of this that I encountered last year was freelance writing and media work facilities that are out there… people are doing work for amounts that are just ridiculously low. You can’t even make cost of living if you throw yourself into it full-time, kind of ridiculous.

On other side of the scale though, you have incidents like the group I encountered last year, who make money by fraudulently writing theses and papers on behalf of university and college students - many of these being honors and Masters theses for fields in science, medicine and engineering.

So basically, someone else does all the research and writes all the papers, for a pittance, and then the student hands it in as their own original work and receives a legitimate degree. Read more at http://lifecoachestoolbox.com/index.php/fraudulently-obtained-legal-degrees-a-true-horror-story

Or you may face the challenges on a relationship level…. do you stay for financial security or leave because you aren’t really committed anymore?

Or what if you suddenly lost your job or business - which is happening to many - and the only way you could earn was to engage in working in the sex industry or selling and making drugs?

It’s easy to say no now… but when the creditors are beating down your door, you’re scared, you’re hungry, you’re shamed and you have nowhere to turn… what happens then?

We understood a lot in 2017… I know I certainly made a lot more sense of stuff.

The big lessons of 2017 are really summed up in the concept: “This entire shift is about ego - and the great deception is that God wants you to have your personal happiness and ego desires met.”

So what we can expect is Ego challenges in the next year - and Ego loves to challenge with money. And money is so easy to challenge us with on an Ego level, because it’s all about survival.

Our answer?

Instead of bowing to the survival pressure that money puts on us, we need to use this year to start creating the new world and new reality we want to see.

The reality that we build now will be far from perfect… we are the transition team.

Our job is to lay the foundations of the 5D experience in a 3D world… to start building the avenues that will eventually become the ways out of this horrible mess we find ourselves living in.

So our solutions are NOT going to perfect by 5D (our) standards…. and that’s okay.

We’re translators… taking that new energy and using our knowledge to find ways to shape and mold the world around that energy, and ways to fit that energy into the world.

Our task will be trial and error and hit and miss.

Some of us will succeed gloriously - and others will fail miserably. And as collective, we will learn so much from those failures - from seeing what didn’t work, and why it didn’t work.

There are no hard and fast rules here - this is the Wild Wild West.

This is what it means to be a pioneer, a frontrunner, a leader… you run ahead when you don’t know what you’re running into, or how you’re gonna deal with it, or what you’re going to need to deal with it. You just go deal with it anyway.

The answers that we find on this journey in 2018 will be the answers we choose, the answers we create.

It is our task to create a space where 5D can flourish unencumbered… and so for many of us, like me, you will have to wear a dragon mask in order to fiercely protect the little flame of hope you have created.

On a smaller level, this means you will have to stand up for your beliefs more, speak out more, retreat less… and that won’t be so much of a problem LOL, because many of the lightworkers are already chomping at the bit - tired of having to sit back, shut up, keep quiet.

So yes, you are going to run into some mean Ego tussles and power struggles this year - and those are going to lead to some horrible ego deaths. Face them as quickly as possible - I aim to do them in under one 24-hour Chinese Clock cycle.

You’re going to get sick and face life challenges as you shift even more energies, and more mirrors drop, and you don’t quite fit in or want to be somewhere anymore.

And you’ll find yourself ending relationships and friendships that no longer serve you, as well as staying home and becoming even more of a hermit in a ploy to try and mitigate the constant cognitive dissonance you feel when you enter the world.

What you want from relationships is going to change dramatically, and as the energy of “complete alone” is gathering momentum in the morphic field I am seeing massive - and rapid - changes in people’s opinions about relationships, and subsequently their relationship status.

For me, the biggest change - that still has me somewhat in awe - is entering 2018 as a person who does NOT want a relationship.

This is way uncharted territory for me… never imagined my life without a male partner by my side. And 12 months ago my Twin Flame was still around. But I honestly can’t even remember that I was a person who even wanted a relationship - even though it was all I wanted for years. I just have no resonance there anymore.

So I’m looking at "what does my life look like as a single person for the rest of my days?" And I know I’m not the only lady considering this at the moment.

This is completely virgin territory for us - as is the idea of how we live without money, or without the need for money? And how do we balance resources and eliminate greed and wealth?

How do we deal with Ego? Should we be all inclusive or should we close ranks and be exclusive? How do we deal with trolls and censorship and restricted access to social media - and each other?

We have a lot of questions to answer and challenges to face in the next while - and our spiritual journeys to contend with at the same time.

And we need to create these solutions and answers ourselves.

So yes…. there is a deep sense of we don’t know where we’re going and we don’t know what to do.

So we’re going to take it one day at a time…. one step at a time.

We are building a brave new world, and we will find each answer as we need it, when we are ready to see it. Our job is always only to make sure that we are as ready as we can be, that we are open channels that receive clearly, and that we don’t edit when we share the word.

2018 is an 11 year - a Master number year. Also known as a universal year. So you can expect big things. I haven’t linked anything specific - just google and find a few pieces, there’s lots online about it.

This is a year of Mastery - and if you use it to your advantage you will surge spiritually.

So face your dragons and slay them this year. Accept that it will be difficult.

“Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult - once we truly understand and accept it - then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.” - M. Scott Peck

Heroes don’t win awards for going to the corner store and buying milk - it’s hard work to do what we do, to stand at the frontlines and be a guiding light, pushing out ever further into the darkness, with no idea of where we’re going or where we’ll end up.

So we’re going to take it one day at a time.

Don’t personalise. Don’t look for reasons why you’re the victim, and don’t look for reasons why this is happening because of something related to this identity’s lifetime.

Whatever you do don’t be a victim.

Stick to your daily basics so that your system has the support it needs to make it through - http://lifecoachestoolbox.com/index.php/daily-energy-healing-basics

Simplify your life and cut costs as much as possible. There’s a series of articles here to help you, with a video version at the bottom of each article text - http://lifecoachestoolbox.com/index.php/the-money-problem-part-0-index-introduction

Build healthy daily habits like praying and meditation. In purely spiritual matters, everything you ask for is granted, so remember to ask. For example: Holy Spirit, show me what it means to have faith. Holy Spirit, help me ascend.

God doesn’t ever tire of hearing prayers like that.

If we follow the same pattern as the last few years, we should be quieter until about April, and then the downloads will start in earnest again. But we’ll monitor those closer to the time.

We’re just finishing a retrograde (and download) period, albeit nowhere near as hectic as the April to October period of 2017. There were quite a few level ups during this period, I’m hearing from people around me.

We have two full moons this month and one is a blue moon, so January will be quite a super charged month.

The best advice for the next little while? Don’t panic when you feel lost and don’t know what to do…. let your mind go and come up with crazy solutions.

Accept that this is part of finding new answers… you have a question that needs to be answered. It will be a question for a while before answers start arising.

Give the year to God and let God make your decisions for you. He sees a bigger picture that you do not see, so let Him take the wheel.

“This year, I make no decisions for myself. I ask only for the year that God would have me have. If you would have me do it, I will do it. If you will not have me do it, I will not do it.”

"Help me to perform whatever miracles you would have of me this year. Let miracles be an involuntary habit. Help me to understand the power of miracles and why they should not be a spectacle used for conversion or to induce awe. Show me how to have faith to perform miracles.”

And when it comes to manifesting money? Every time you think about it, say “Give us this our daily bread” and then let it go. TRUST that God will take care of it. You will have what you NEED. And be thankful when it comes. Don’t take it for granted.

If you think you need goals and a fixed direction, then you are trying to be in control - and we’re letting God drive in 2018.

We have been instructed not to manifest - not to use the Law of Attraction for the conscious manifestation and creation of Ego based desires, because these are undemocratic uses of miracles.

So surrender and become part of the solution - and let this be the year that you truly understand miracles and achieve Mastery.

I look forward to standing with you in 2018. It’s time to step forward and shine.

It’s time to be the light.

Happy New Year. Let’s rock this one!

Peace & light always
