When I was born on June 30,1947, I was part of a large cohort of experienced souls who incarnated to be of service to Mother Earth and humanity. We incarnated knowing that the probable timeline was that we and the rest of humanity would not live much past the turn of the century, killed either by a failure to use technology wisely or by the necessary geophysical changes associated with Mother Earth's transition from third to fourth density. Many of us carried the experience of many lifetimes on Earth. Though not free of the imprint of karmic energies that Earth experience easily creates, generally they were of the sort that didn't require resolution before moving on the next stage of our individual soul journeys. One group of the cohort came in as anchoring lightworkers whose primary purpose was to provide an energetic boost to the "level" of humanity's collective consciousness. The other group, activist lightworkers, incarnated into extremely challenging life situations that forced them to awareness that they were multidimensional beings. Around the time of the Harmonic Convergence in 1987, as a result of transcending their difficult life situations with love and forgiveness, activist lightworkers created the positive energy that shifted the catastrophic timeline to create the possibility that humanity would collectively awaken and, while still in our physical bodies (scroll down to Blog #21), join Mother Earth in the transition to fourth density.

 

I was an anchoring lightworker until I was "activated" in November, 2002 when my understanding of reality as a scientist was shattered and I decided to use my training as a scientist to understand what I was experiencing. I made a commitment to follow the rational approach I developed for evaluating information about multidimensional reality wherever it would take me, and also to share the ups and downs of the accompanying spiritual journey. Since August 2005 I have shared my journey as an activist lightworker in 99 newsletters and blogs. I went down a very deep rabbit hole in the early stage of my journey. Until 2016 I actively participated in a half-dozen consensual realities and shared in various blogs the perspective I had developed on the game of duality as it is played out on planet Earth. From 2016 to 2020 the focus of my blogs shifted to sharing new insights about the omniverse and multiverse as they relate to what's happening on Earth and documenting evidence I saw in the physical plane that a shift was happening. I also shared more personal aspects of my journey, as a result of almost dying from septicemia/pneumonia and the premature death of my daughter's partner by a hit and run driver and the gentler death of a dear activist lightworker friend. In late 2020 and early 2021 I shared the process by which I lost my confidence that humanity would be making a collective shift to fourth density, as envisioned in the Great Shift ebook I released in 2008: Human Potential, Holistic Health, Ascension, and Disclosure Paradigms at a Fork in the Road and  A Pause in Forward Movement: On Healing, Holding the Frequency, and Engagement. The few blogs I've sent since then have focused mainly on spiritual practices I've developed as a result of my loss of confidence. Several these morphed into a series I started on the Medium platform titled Spiritual Practices for a World Falling Apart.

 

 

 

I said at the beginning that at a personal level the last few years have included the best of times and the worst of times. During the hard times I kept my equilibrium, trusting that by doing so with an open heart I was creating a positive energy that somehow served the common good. At some point last year I re-exerted my free will and told Spirit that I wished to become an anchoring lightworker again. It felt like a natural thing to do and was not triggered by any particular difficulty I was dealing with at the time.

 

How has my life changed since becoming an anchoring lightworker again? In terms of my day-to-day life, not much. Perhaps a bit more grounded in the physical plane than before, but my four-generation family, garden, homestead projects, especially cutting, hauling, splitting and stacking firewood for the heating season, have always kept me pretty grounded. I spend less time online, though I have a few online communities that I connect with regularly. I am somewhat more engaged in my local community. I take great pleasure in spending one day a week at an office I now have at the Indiana Geological Survey focused on my studies of the geological history of southern Indiana. I enjoy writing occasional articles for a series on Medium called Miscellaneous Meanderings. 

 

Has my life become easier? No. The picture above that my granddaughter Robin drew for my 77th birthday expresses what my life feels like now pretty well. The sun is shining above the rain falling on a somewhat bemused-looking Panda with a ghost of a smile. A small rainbow over his head keeps him from getting too wet, while love fills the air above a spectacular rainbow to his right.  

 

Multidimensionally, I am aware of receiving solar energies through my crown chakra to ground into the Earth and go wherever they than best support the common good. Last year had an exceptionally large number of X-class solar flares. As a fractal of Gaia I feel a deep connection with both humanity and Mother Earth. These words from Kahil Gibran's poem On Joy and Sorrow are very present with me these days: The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. A friend recently shared an experience feeling fear that reminded me of the Shift Blog I wrote in 2016 On Telempathy and Serving as an Emotional Pressure Relief Valve. I realized that I've also been serving as a pressure relief valve as a result of recent heart breaks related to interactions I've had with individuals both close and not-so-close to me. Through the heartbreak I have kept an open, broken heart that holds at the same time joy and sorrow. The sorrow flowing through my heart is both personal and transpersonal. I will confess, that I did not anticipate this when I became an anchoring lightworker, yet I do not wish for anything to be different. These days I laugh easily and cry easily. All is well and good in my life.

 

 

My "final" earth energy healing and shift mailings will be titled Concluding Reflections and Passing the Torch and I anticipate they will go out before the end of this month. I put "final" in quotes because I am not tightly closing the door as I lay down these projects that have been a significant part of my life for more than 20 years. However, I would like to explain what I mean by passing the torch now that I am an anchoring lightworker.

 

Since I was a teenager coming of age in the turbulent 1960s, activist-folk singer Peter Seeger (1919-2014) has inspired me. After Pete died singer-songwriter Charlie King wrote a beautiful tribute song titled Spoon of Sand. As I lay down my great shift and earth energy healing work these words from the song keep coming to me: You kindled the fire, you carried the torch, you're passing it on. Great souls like Pete and my parents were the generation that kindled the fire of potential for humanity to make a collective dimensional shift with Mother Earth. I picked up and carried the torch for peace and justice for some forty years starting with my first peace demonstration in 1960 and devoted my professional life to protecting and healing Mother Earth, while activist lightworkers shifted the probable catastrophic timeline, making it possible for me to continue carrying the torch as an activist lightworker for another twenty-some years. It seems entirely possible that I will be around for another twenty years or so, holding the frequency, as younger generations carry the torch. It will be an interesting journey.
