THE END!

AN INVITATION TO A BETTER WORLD

We are coming to the end of a great cycle. If this has seemed like just a theory in the past, it is undeniable now. All ancient traditions recognise the cycles, but we are most familiar with the ‘Yugas’ of the Hindu Vedic tradition. We are in the final death throes of the Kali Yuga. Although it has been written about and many stories told, it always seemed to be not quite possible. It was too dramatic and different to be really believed. Even now when we are fully in it, it is often too much for our minds to take on. We have fires erupting from the earth, volcanoes spewing ash into the sky, mountains moving, wars, countries falling apart or being destroyed, relationships and families breaking up, and amongst all this are you and me.

It is normal though. Endings are messy. When things come to an end what seemed stable falls apart. We humans don’t like change, and we are going through the biggest upheaval on earth that humanity has known since the last reset of around 701 BC when the Dwapara Yuga ended and the Kali Yuga began.

If we can see past the pain and destruction, it is a wonderful event and good news for us all. At the end of the 17^th century, we turned the corner and we started to climb out of that dark energy and now we are in the final years before we open like butterflies into a beautiful world of abundance and peace. Yes, our world can and will be a joyful place to live.

It is not just the earth, the whole of our solar system and galaxy is changing.

Physical Symptoms of the Ascension Process

Our physical bodies are going through massive changes too. We have been slow heavy carbon-based beings, and we are morphing into lighter silica-based life forms. Our DNA is transmuting and our consciousness is expanding.

Why have we been interested in clairvoyance, clairaudience, bio-location, space travel, manifestation etc? Because these are normal every-day abilities that we had in the past. In the coming years we will find them again.

We need to find a way of grieving the pain and celebrating the new beginning both at the same time.

The body finds these changes challenging causing uncomfortable physical symptoms. Many people are just now talking about this but there is a whole chapter on this subject in my book ‘Angelic Reiki – The Healing for Our Time’ written in 2012!

Here is a brief description of the main physical symptoms taken from the book.

Headaches

These are some of the most common symptoms of change. Our brains are literally being rewired. We have been using only five percent of our mind’s capacity. More of its potential is being made available to us now.

We have used the two halves of our brain separately. The left-hand side is masculine, logical, and analytical. This is the part of our brain that collects information from the past and uses that information to anticipate what might happen in the future.

The right-hand side of the mind is feminine and intuitive. It already has the potential to understand that we are connected to everything. It does not see us as separate individuals. This means it can connect to a web of information, which is much vaster than the left, logical mind. It is from the right-brain that we receive all our messages through intuition and insights.

The knots in the Etheric aspect of the brain are untangling. This is bringing online some of the brain function that we have not been using for a long time. It is this that is enabling us to have new concepts and understandings of spirituality, creation, and the world.

As these changes take place, they are creating physical sensations, and we feel these as headaches. Sometimes they are as strong as migraines and other times they are simply a localised pain in a smaller area that passes quickly.

Loss of Memory

As these changes take place, our normal ability to remember things can change. I am sure a lot of you reading this will recognise this. The main symptoms have been that whilst long-term memory becomes more acute, short-term memory starts to fail. It can feel like a state of old age as you walk into the bathroom and cannot remember why you have gone there. The best solution to this is to laugh.

Flu-Like Symptoms

These can feel exactly like flu, and it is a matter of speculation just how much of the reported incidence of flu and Long Covid are actually physical symptoms of the Ascension process. The light that is infusing every cell and molecule of our body is dislodging all the denser energies resulting in physical and emotional cleansing.

Heart Symptoms

Palpitations and arrhythmias are the symptoms that most frequently manifest and cause the most concern.

The Ascension energies cause the heart centre to open. As we connect to the beauty of nature around us, feel more love for ourselves, those close to us and everyone we meet, the Heart Chakra changes. This change on an energetic and consciousness level has an impact on the physical heart itself. The heart beats according to our level of consciousness, and the physical organ needs time to adjust. We experience these heart centre changes as  arrhythmia and palpitations and sometimes as a dull pain.

Everyone must make their own choice as to whether any symptoms they are experiencing are due to energetic changes or a physical problem. Trust your intuition.

Changes in your Energy

It is important to rest when we are going through a period of low energy as a result of this deep cleansing.

Crying for No Reason and Feeling Emotionally Vulnerable

The new energy has caused a quickening in everything, and this includes the molecular spin of our cells which are literally spinning dense emotional energies to the surface.

Hot Flushes and Night and Day Sweats

These are quite common in both men and women. It has to do with the energy flowing too quickly through the body and hormonal changes.

Muscular Aches and Joint Pain

Aches and pains in the muscles and joints can be experienced because of the changes. This can also be a symptom of cleansing. Our bodies hold toxins in deep tissue, and part of the releasing process can cause stiffness and aching in joints.

Weight Gain

Our bodies are starting to recognise light as an energy and food source. This has caused changes in the way that our ATP molecule (Adenosine triphosphate) functions and changes in the mitochondria of the cells. It takes the body time to adjust to the new intake of energy from light, and it also takes time for us to adjust to realising we need to eat less.

Another cause of weight gain is that with the increase in energy flowing through our energy and chakra system, the first response of the body can be to increase its mass in order to hold this energy.

Mind and consciousness are electrical in nature, and water is a very good conductor of electricity. The changes we are experiencing can alter the fluid balance of our bodies. Diet and the use of herbs may be the best way to bring this back into balance. Stopping drinking water does not help and in fact it is often better to increase the intake of water so that the body’s natural response to what it perceives as a drought situation is not triggered.

Feeling Spacey

Many people have experienced feeling spacey and ungrounded. Although this is a symptom of the Ascension process, I feel it is very important that we work with it and correct it.

Pains in the Ears and Hearing Problems

Ringing in the ears is a common symptom and sometimes there may be pain. It can often seem like tinnitus and can be quite disconcerting. This is not usually a problem just a bit irritating if it lasts a long time.

Extreme Sensitivity

The changes are affecting our nervous system as well as the hormones in our endocrine system. We are becoming more sensitive. Some people are finding that their extra sensitivity means that it is difficult to tolerate loud noises, crowds, strong smells, certain types of music, and even physical touch. These can be quite difficult to cope with, but it will pass as we integrate ways of coping with our new levels of sensitivity.

Depression

This is quite a common symptom, and especially prevalent in people who have experienced depression in the past. Depression is the emotional counterpart of physical fatigue. We feel depressed when emotions are not freely flowing. Cry as often as you feel you want to, allow anger to move through your body and welcome the shame and guilt that has been long hidden.

Dietary Changes

Many people are finding they need to eat less. This is a direct result of our increasing ability to transmute light into usable energy by the body.

Angelic Reiki and Symptoms of Ascension

Angelic Reiki is the perfect tool to support us through these ascension symptoms.

Angelic Reiki is and always will be ‘The Healing for Our Time’. We are very blessed.

In an Angelic Reiki self-healing, the left hand is placed on the Higher Heart Centre and the right hand on the Solar Plexus. The Higher Heart is the connection to our higher-self or Soul Self, the part of ourselves which is unconditional Love and Divine Wisdom. The Solar Plexus is our connection to the incarnated personality and physical body. The Angelic energy infuses our consciousness and every cell, molecule and atom of the body and every level of consciousness. This intimate blending of energies allows the Divine Perfect Matrix of that Angel to bring everything into line with our new level of consciousness, changes in DNA and cellular spin of our physical body, balancing the hormones of the endocrine system, and weaving the Etheric matrix of the body.

The Triumph of Coexistence: How Our Shadows Forged the Light of Civilisation

The history of humanity does not begin in a paradise of unspoilt harmony, but rather at the heart of a profound and paradoxical conflict. To look at the origins of our civilisation is to accept that the foundations of our morality, our laws and our religions were born of the most intense human ambivalence, the age-old dance between hatred and love.

At the dawn of social organisation, we find not peace, but an act of rebellion and violence. In the primal narrative that shapes our collective psyche, as described by Freud in “Totem and Tabu”, the brothers, united by the strength of the collective, rebelled against the figure of the tyrannical father, eliminating him to win the freedom and power that had been denied them. However, the true spark that illuminated civilisation was not the violence of this act, but what followed immediately after the storm: the awakening of remorse.

Those who had united in fury discovered that hatred did not dwell alone in their hearts, it coexisted with deep affection and admiration. It was from this repressed love that an overwhelming sense of guilt arose, a shared burden that did not destroy them, but which, in an inspiring way, transformed them. Guilt became the great driving force of our moral progress.

To prevent rivalry and the desire for power from leading them into a spiral of mutual destruction, a war of all against all, human beings made a remarkable choice. They chose community over selfishness.

They renounced their most instinctive desires for the sake of a greater good, which is the ability to live together. Thus were the first laws created, born of the need to protect life and make peace with the past, evolving into the profound social order of “Thou shalt not kill” and valuing lifelong solidarity.

Civilisation is, therefore, the greatest testament to our capacity for redemption. We have transformed the “complicity of a common crime” into an unbreakable bond of brotherhood and kinship. Religion, morality and the law are not chains that imprison us, but rather monuments erected by our will to overcome our own destructive nature.

This origin teaches us something profoundly hopeful about the human condition, no matter how dark our primal impulses may be, our capacity for empathy, for repentance and for love is infinitely more powerful. We are the species that, faced with the abyss of our own violence, decided to build bridges, forge alliances and create a world where peaceful coexistence is our greatest triumph and our enduring legacy.

The way in which “deferred obedience” and emotional ambivalence continue to shape our reality. The tension between love and hate has not been consigned to the primitive past. The tension generated by these contradictory feelings is so great that it has never been fully neutralised by society.

“Deferred obedience” reflects the way in which external authority is internalised, following the father’s death, the children imposed upon themselves the very rules they had previously hated, rendering the dead authority figure far stronger and more influential than the living one. At a cultural level, all subsequent religions are, in fact, humanity’s ongoing attempts to solve the same proble, a ceaseless effort to mitigate the feeling of guilt and appease the father figure through this obedience that had been deferred. Furthermore, filial rebellion continues to emerge, but today it does so under the strangest guises and through transformations in religious practices.

It has a Structural Impact on Modern Society, this primal event and the remorse that followed created a dynamic which, ever since, has not granted humanity “a moment’s rest”. The fraternal and social sentiments that arose after the crime continue to exert a profound influence on today’s society. For example, the prohibition against killing members of the clan, created to prevent the father’s tragedy from being repeated amongst the brothers, gradually expanded until it took the form of the universal moral law of ‘Thou shalt not kill’.

In short, our morality and the demands of our contemporary society continue to be based largely on the penance demanded by that sense of guilt and on the “complicity in the common crime” that gave rise to civilisation.

Don’t you realise that if you simply have no concepts and no anxiety, you’ll see the Buddha standing before you.

Huang – po

Our attachments to concepts and judgements about right and wrong raises anxiety within each one of us. To release these is to see the perfect natural order all around us. This is seeing the Buddha.

30th January 2008

Student: “All these natural wonders – the trees, mountains, and earth – where do they come from?”

Master: “Where does your question come from?”

The Master shows the student that all of nature arises and returns to the same source, therefore to ask the question, “Who is asking the question and where does it come from?” leads the student to his own self-nature which is the Buddha-nature of all.

Those who are content to be nothing special

are noble people. Don’t strive. Be ordinary.

Lin-chi

If one strives to be something one draws to oneself all of the components of suffering.

Lack of something.

Not good enough.

Judgement about right and wrong, good or bad.

To want to be something you perceive you are not is usually based on how you are perceived by others.

Your world is governed by external forces which are illusory.

To be ordinary is to look inwards and embrace who you are in that moment without refference to any of the above.

21st April 2008

Become a master of every situation, and you will always be in the right place.

Lin – Chi.
