The Daily Planet

Yes, this is the recently promised update chock full o' syllables and posted well before March. I'm happily back to wordiness after a brief foray into conversational restraint and a mild round of ascension flu. Ascension flu is that state where your body plans a road trip, doesn't give you the itinerary and suddenly you're on the ride. No explanation quite describes how you feel and no therapy seems particularly helpful. You're out of it, but functionally coherent. You feel a buzzing deep in your cells and seem weak, but not for being out of shape (well, maybe), And tired, but not exactly cramming for exams tired. More like suddenly sleeping long hours with wackadoodle dreams tired. As for inspiration? Not so much.

 

I expect more physical symptoms after the Fusion process this weekend. Don't believe that being engaged in transforming consciousness ever equates to doing nothing. It's been a lot of work, and although paychecks don't flow from this kind of work I expect that a payoff is at hand.

 

Briefly brief, here is what's on the rest of this update:

 

Info about the planetary event of February 3rd and a free download

 

Info about the recent Earth Mother channeling and a not free download

 

Still with me? Here we go:

 

I'd like to first say that we seem to have entered a phase of transition that is moving us more deeply more quickly. It's almost as if every moment of every event is crucial to whatever process is in motion, and I notice that large chunks of work can happen in short spans of time. No more baby steps. We have significantly changed over these past months, and the rate of change is only quickening.

 

Planetary Process

 

Despite feeling the recent squeeze of the transformational wringer, the past couple weeks have not been without highlights. On February 3rd we had the first of the planetary events scheduled for 2010. These sessions are always quite fascinating to me because we never know what to expect. A group gathers, Michele "tunes in" and off we go. I'll tell you a little about what happened and then give you a link where you can download the recording and participate in the processes.

 

Here I again share my perspective on making the shift from whatever you call your old life to whatever you call your new one: The magic is in the processes. Information prepares you but changes nothing by itself. Don't expect your mind to perform beyond its limited realm. Besides, much of what is stored in mind is being deleted and the major action is in your body. Hence, the challenge of "ascension flu". You cannot affirm you way to your new life.

 

The planetary event was unusual in what showed up and how we participated. Since our focus is being of assistance on a planetary level it was not a big surprise that the Earth Mother joined us. However, this wasn't a channeling in the normal sense but more a combination of energy experiences and processes tracked by Michele and described as events unfolded. As usual, I can give you some summarization but the recording will guide you into and through the actual processes.

 

During these planetary events participants benefit personally while also being of assistance to the collective. It's the perfect kind of win-win scenario as has always been my experience with earth-focused projects and the Earth Mother. In the first segment we were informed of how much we are affected by all the media stimulation as well as all the broadcasted electrical waves and currents that are in our field all the time. Bodies have been weakened, which is not new information for most of us, but this was a set-up for the energetic process that followed. The frequency that was given during the process is intended to help us be less overwhelmed physically by all the energies on the planet that aren't really helpful to life. Our part while receiving this energy was to also be a re-broadcaster of those energies, primarily into adult humanity.

 

A second wave of energy was for a different purpose, coming up and entering our nervous systems and brains. The intention here is connected to how much we take in and try to ingest that has nothing to do with consciousness or life. The result of taking in what cannot be ingested or assimilated creates stress and strain. The frequencies given assist us to avoid taking in what we cannot process.

 

The next energy worked with cellular recharging and restoration of the nuclei for regeneration. One focus was on the decline of quality in both food and air, and this energy assists with the effects of that degradation.

 

After working with bodies, a different frequency of energy came into the mind to help make a transition away from thinking to a kind of intelligent sensing that is more receptive and felt. At that point we received another perspective on some current planetary events. I'll move this along by naming a few key points, but the download will do a better job of explaining:

 

    There are "poles" in consciousness (not the planetary polar poles) that create a certain kind of polarity in experience. These poles are beginning to shift, and the earthquake in Haiti is one of the poles shifting out of polarity where consciousness has been bound. Others are getting ready to move through significant events, though not necessarily earthquakes.

 

    There are many poles, smaller and larger, that are bound together in consciousness. Some are connected to places and some are connected to groups, but it's more about their connection in consciousness.

 

    There are currents within consciousness that are like stabilizers and that's where support and love is needed. Certain people are being moved into place around the world to help in the stabilizing, and this movement into position is rapidly taking place in preparation for more of the pole shifts.

 

    On that evening we again learned how a small number of people can have a large effect on the collective when working with their own consciousness and holding recognition of what is available for the whole.

 

You can download the audio file to listen and participate on your own time. The frequencies remain available to you from the earth. See this page to download: http://www.lightsmith.com/special.htm

 

 

 

Earth Mother channeling

 

The potency and effectiveness of the 2010 series of channelings has definitely gone up a notch, and I experienced more energetic shift from last Saturday's channeling with the Earth Mother than even the planetary session of the 3rd. Part of the reason for the response I felt is because the Earth Mother uses what we call the language of creation during many of her processes. She speaks directly to bodies and minds in a way that bypasses any conscious awareness. It's simply an energy experience with a specific focus.

 

My description is shorter here, as the purpose was pretty exact. At the beginning of the evening the EM talked about unique capacities we have that were bound and closed during the reign of Duality. She explained that we closed them intentially, often through trauma or pain, because they were never intended to be used in that old story.

 

The purpose of this session was to begin dissolving the bindings. Bodies were worked with, but much of the attention went to the mind. She explained that painful memories no longer need to have any reference in our consciousnesses, and the process went right to work to basically dissolve and delete memory attachments in the mind. I laugh to myself when I remember her instructions later in the session. She said not to even try to remember what was leaving. I can tell you that I can't even remember what I'm not supposed to try remembering. That's how effective the session was for me.

 

We're in a different phase of transformation where larger things are happening in shorter times. This was a good-sized chunk of process work that was easy to do and seriously helpful. We agreed to open to the assistance and the Earth Mother did all the work. That's the kind of process I can get into.

 

The Earth Mother also made comment about earthquakes (movements) in her body and how certain areas on the planet and within consciousness need to be given some time to breathe and be restored to support life. She reminded us that when we see things happening that we can trust her because she knows what she is doing. A good, general reminder in these times and one I count on quite a bit!

Looking forward to spring,

Below is a section repeated from a previous update with a reminder that this Saturday and Sunday is Fusion Weekend. We still have room for a couple more people.

 

FUSION is the other large theme of the moment as we recover aspects of self, re-structure our chakra systems and bring in ever-larger amounts of our great spirits. These weekend Fusion events are process-oriented and potent. Each weekend shares some similarities, but each is also unique depending on who is in the group and how the larger energies are moving at the time. In general, the focus is on realigning the chakras, opening the root, bringing more waves of self into the body and activating 4 "upgrades" in the chakra system that are part of the new operating system allowing us to interface and create within the new Living Field. The February Fusion Weekend is the 20th and 21st. We are very close to full, but have room for a few more. If interested, please reserve a space by sending a note to chris@lightsmith.com. The cost is $240. More info and a down-loadable flyer here:

One last bit: An INTERVIEW with Michele and me appears in the February issue of The Edge. We talk about the Deep Feminine and Fusion.

 

The interview is posted in two parts at

http://soulofthecities.net/2010/02/fusion/

My monthly column, Beyond Belief, appears only on-line in February. You will find it here:

Oh, What a Month

[note: this update was emailed on Feb. 1st, but I forgot to post it here until today. Sorry about that.]

 

Oh, What a Month

 

Or is it oh, what, a month? I can barely keep myself updated enough to send out these updates. In fact, I started this sentence a WEEK ago and am finally finishing up. It's always so odd to me how I can feel no particular motivation and still move through my day with plenty of projects. Then again, my biggest project has been myself, so that's the excuse I'm using for not writing for a month.

 

Some people have had a month of crisis, and some like me have had a month of feeling bound in stillness even while moving through business as usual. It's as if whatever brings your old patterns to the surface most efficiently shows up to tweak your nose. For some of you it may not seem like a challenge to have a whole lot of not much happening, but to a doer it forces a certain degree of reflection. Excitement and motivation haven't been calling to many people these past weeks, so consider this your permission to skip the guilt about not feeling like doing much of anything. Our energies are elsewhere, quite engaged in personal transformation. We may be preparing for greater expression, but the bell hasn't yet rung so don't worry that you're missing something. You can't.

 

This year we embark on a journey of reconnection with the deep feminine, which I have recently taken to calling the Irresistible Force. Like magma thrusting from the depths, this fluid potency leaves nothing unscathed in its unpredictable path. Everything encountered is pushed, lifted or dissolved. Beliefs get tossed like old shoes, and patterns of adaptation that evolved in Duality are illuminated for extraction and release. I find that the stillness has propelled me inward and down as my mind grows less controlling, and I expect that my next adventure is connected with the treasure I find buried there. It's all the shoveling that gets so exhausting.

 

Many ideas circulate in the new-ageosphere about what 2010 may hold in store for us, and I agree that the sense of potential now present in the field is almost palpable. Still, the focus on what is yet to come takes attention from the moment, and in this moment we are at a stage that is personally, deeply immersive with a sense of not much moving. Opening to the feminine and the deep wisdom involves dealing with all the ways we denied aspects of ourselves that were rejected or suppressed in past times. I can't consider myself a conscious creator while there exists storage in an unconscious, so I welcome whatever it takes to move through this phase. All aspects are now merging, and no split can remain between conscious and unconscious fragments of self. Such a split is the definition of Duality, and Life within the new living field is without such division. So, we're still healing, releasing and recovering aspects of self, AND anticipating new forms to emerge.

 

Here at Lightsmith we continue to share what we find to be the focus of the moment, passing along what we can about how this transformation is proceeding and what is helpful to the process. Or approach is not just to provide information, but to create engagin, immersive experiences that assist necessary structural changes within consciousness. Knowledge and information provide maps, while process brings change.

 

Okay, on to the events of February. I figure if I don't get this out today I'll soon be writing about March, what with time going bye-bye and all. So, here goes:

 

New PLANETARY EVENTS for the year have been added to the calendar. They are scheduled for the equinoxes, solstices and cross quarter dates. The first one is THIS WEDNESDAY, February 3rd at 7pm. For these planetary events we will be working with the large crystal in a grid created for the event. The exact focus for each session may not be clear until we actually begin each evening. The cost is by donation with a suggested amount of $15. If you would like to participate by phone, please contact me for a call-in number - chris@lightsmith.com. Callers can make a donation using the bottom button on this page: http://www.lightsmith.com/support.htm

 

Our 2010 SECOND SATURDAY CHANNELING series began in January with a visit from Archangel Michael. He talked about and worked with finding and releasing core-level fears, particularly the fear of dying which underlies all others. He alternates with the Earth Mother who will join us on Saturday, February 13th at 7pm. In the third month of each quarter we will have a different being join us, and in March that visitor will be Quan Yin. With the energies focused on the return of the feminine I expect we will be visited by many of the Mothers throughout this year. For more information about these Second Saturday Channelings please see:

http://www.lightsmith.com/center/channelignsinfo.htm

 

TUESDAY TUNE-UPS continue the process work begun at the previous channeling. This month the Tune-up is on Tuesday, February 23rd at 7pm. As with the channelings you can join us by phone. Info: http://www.lightsmith.com/center/tuneups.htm

 

BTW, the channeling with Archangel Michael and the following Tuesday Tuneup are available for download in our shop at http://www.lightsmith.com/shoppe/orderpage.htm.

 

Remember, too, that we offer a subscription for downloads of the two main monthly events. Subscribers also receive a reduced rate for attending in person or by phone. Check out the details on our home page: http://www.lightsmith.com/

2010, The Feminine, A Gift

Seems like 2009 did a low fly-by. It started out pretty exciting, packed a punch but lasted only briefly and left me with ringing ears. Michele tells me the ringing is from my pineal gland being over-stimulated by all the energy coming onto the planet, but I'm sticking with my plane analogy since I can't explain the alternative. The quirky perception we call "time" is also messing with us. A day may still be one revolution of the earth on its axis, but it sure seems like that spin is faster than ever. Weirdly, some days also seem to expand and go on and on. I guess the matrix of time is also undergoing it's own dissolution as any kind of meaningful reference, so if I'm going to get this update out in 2010 I better get to it.

 

First, some reflection. It's not completely true that I remember nothing these days, although the truth may be more complete than memory would have me believe. I think. BTW, don't bother re-reading that because it won't make any more sense the second time. Still, I'm betting you know exactly what I mean. For months we have been releasing old programs, clearing old mental structures and shifting more into alignment with our core natures. You probably have noticed that many things that used to trigger fear or some obsession with outcomes no longer have such power over your life. Many shifts deep in the brain were woven into the processes of 2009. When I look back at some of the sessions we worked with during these past months I find restructuring of the 3rd eye and crown chakra, dissolving of old memories, releasing old programs from mind and body, connecting up the 9 filaments of the root chakra, dissolving unconscious sensate emotional memory deep in the limbic brain and work in the thalamus. For starters. These were the more overt of the processes, but there is always much taking place at levels in consciousness too complex to easily identify or name. So, if you feel your mind bending like that spoon in The Matrix, be assured that strangeness is the new normal. And, it appears we're just getting warmed up.

 

The two over-arching themes directing Lightsmith sessions this past year were Coming into Alignment and Soul/Body Fusion. We have been continually preparing for greater embodiment by both releasing structures no longer needed and opening or adding structures that function in the new field. As we embody more of who we are we jettison who we aren't, and we don't fully step into our roles as conscious creators until we purge the unconscious and experience some upgrades and rewiring to function in the new field. For example, our fusion events have been helping to open and activate 4 new "nodes" in the chakra system that are specific to the new field. These nodes make a direct connection with the new matrix such that creation moves from impulse to experience almost magically by itself without the oodles of affirmations and positive thinking, or what I now consider the old technology.

 

Those major themes of last year continue into 2010 and take on yet another facet, which is the restoration of connection to the deep feminine. Here at Lightsmith we finished the past year with a visit from Mary Magdalene. The channeling from her on 12/12 was gracefully presented yet quietly potent in its delivery. I have taken to calling this powerful feminine energy the Irresistible Force, and it appears that 2010 will be the year in which the world becomes reminded of its existence. Such a thought makes me deeply happy, and I smile as I relax into a sense of relief. 2009 was a significant yet not always pleasant year for many on the leading edge of change, and 2010 will bring its own unique surprises. Still, I can't help the feeling that we will soon begin to open some interesting and great gifts that have been elegantly wrapped, waiting for discovery.

 

This update continues with some excerpts from the Mary Magdalene channeling, an event that to me seems more significant than one might assume on first listen. At the end of the excerpts, as a gift from us to everyone on our email list, I will provide a link where you can download the entire channeling. To me the messages and process represent a real turning of the tide, and we definitely wanted to share this session with you. I will leave the link up for about a week, so please download at your earliest convenience. I recommend listening at least twice, both to hear more from the content and to more deeply engage the process that is offered. This process will help your own next phase of the shift out of Duality, and will also give you preparation and assistance for the intensity of what is soon to come in the collective. If you wish to continue with an additional process I recommend working with the recording of the Transformation Tuesday that followed. That recording is now available on our site at

 

http://www.lightsmith.com/shoppe/orderTT.htm

 

Also, I know that some of you have already purchased the Mary Magdalene download, so please contact me and I will send out a link for the Tuesday session with our compliments.

 

As you will hear in the channeling, we were joined that evening by all feminine beings including the Earth Mother and other Great Mothers. They worked with us in the field and will work with you as you listen to the recording. What I have chosen below are some excerpts that I found most significant for myself. I'm sure you will hear other messages that speak to you. Mary Magdalene shared how things are now going to be turned upside down.....through the looking glass, perhaps. BTW, our new 2010 channeling series begins with Archangel Michael next Saturday, January 9th. Next week I will send more information about events taking place this year, but for now please note the rapidly approaching date.

 

Have a good one. I mean it.

 

Chris

 

 

Edited quotes from the Mary Magdalene channeling:

 

"This time is one of awakening, but awakening is not just about enlightenment and more consciousness and more understanding. Awakening is presence with and within the deep presence of your own unconscious, your own consciousness at all levels and dimensions. Most of you have a split between your mind and what has been disowned, and most of you are physically challenged in order to get at the deeper storage of your unconscious."

 

"You do not free power through the mind or through what you are conscious of or what you understand. You can read all the books in the world and you can study all of the traditions. You can do all of these things, but until those places within your own deep consciousness open you are not able to fully be empowered to draw the power of life into matter, creation."

 

"Expansion, exploration, definition, the need to understand, to codify, to define in ways that your mind can then feel comfort, these are all very yang. The deep feminine, however, has been denied, disowned, and named with words that cannot be spoken in polite company. This disowned aspect of the whole of consciousness is tied up and tying up those manifestations of disease, violence, war, impoverishment and imbalance on all levels."

 

"What most fear within their own nature is their own disowned consciousness, the feminine rising up. How are you to open this? Many of you have already begun, of course. You've learned not to be so afraid of your feelings, you've learned not to be so afraid of what is surfacing. You've learned that evolving your emotional, physical capacities are part of embodiment and fusion. What you have not fully learned how to do is to stay present in the place where the great feminine, the deep feminine is rising...to be able to be present without agenda, without stories, without judgment of self of other. To stay in a capacity of presence that is in alignment with not only feeling but action, to open your core in such a way that it is no longer bound in any part of your nature by any part of your past or the collective."

 

"My part tonight is to assist you to do that step. It is not something you will do in a moment, it will be over the next months. To do this step is to allow that your consciousness is ready to fully be present, to open, to transform the deeper reservoirs within you and to touch into the core within the great feminine that will source and empower you into creation. You cannot move into the next creation with a half presence."

 

"Frequencies will be vibrating that continue to clarify what is real and true and what is not. That will continue to intensify in 2010 and it will be very important for you to be very grounded, very in your body, to have your cores actually planted deep into the body of this mother planet in order to allow and manage without headaches the increased vibrations that will be penetrating consciousness. I am here to prepare you. I am here to allow your bodies and your deep unconscious and the deep well of life to merge. I am here to assist you in the feminine mysteries, that which I knew, taught, lived and is within this time needed."

 

"The denial of the feminine, wholesale, in consciousness has often made the male, masculine feel fearful of their own yin inner experience, fearful and distrusting of emotion, of sensing the deeper magnetism of your experience, your body within life."

 

"The patriarchal age has been one of conquest, expansion, discovery, invention, understanding. You've done well, male and female, because it has been both. And, your education systems, designed by that great patriarchal time, have been designed to educate the mind, to fill it will facts, skills, understandings, definitions and the ability to continue to expand and, in the old story, dominate whatever is your field of expertise."

 

"In this time, those of you who are either male or who have spent many years in your mind will find that this next adventure is going into the experiential levels, the body, feeling, and sensing levels to uncover, discover, unravel and then be re-informed by your own deep nature. This may at first feel frightening, but let me assure you there is nothing to fear."

 

"Because of the great imbalance, that is collective more than personal, it will be very intense in 2010 and 2011. For those of you who are male there will be a kind of need to breathe in rather than expand, a need to go deep rather than out, a need to relax deeper into the body to recover the experience within the deep experience of your own capacity to sense, feel and know. It will feel somewhat foreign at first, but as you do so your own experience will open and you will start to relax into a deeper, more whole embodied experience."

 

"Those of you who are female: the suppression of emotion, of sensing, and your own suppression of sensing of emotion, of physical body experience of your own deep knowing will be pushed to the surface more and more and more."

 

"And it is time for those of you who have had much experience unraveling the unconscious to step into the conscious places and begin to light the guideposts of the conscious mind. To bring to understanding, to bring to the mind what has not been articulated, not been shared, not had a space opened for it, for her, for the wisdom, for the knowing, for the process of allowing the deep unconscious to come to consciousness and to lift gifts out of the darkness into awareness. It's not just men and women, but I'm talking about the general experience."

 

"It is time for those who have been the explorers within the deep wisdom to bring out what has been discovered. It is time for those who have spent their lives examining what is outside, understanding and finding that next discovery to be exciting to relax into a new milieu of discovery within. To relax the mind's need to understand, to relax the need to define, to relax the fear of your own feminine, your own deep wisdom and the unconscious. Whether you are yin or yang, whether you are male or female in alliance with your own nature right now, you will be doing what you need to do. Deep now in your own body are structures that have been impaired. No matter how much healing you have done, most of you still have impaired root chakras, impaired cores, impaired capacity to open the deep wisdom of your own consciousness as well as the deep wisdom within this planetary consciousness. That impairment is part of the wounding of the deep feminine and the fear that was placed in consciousness so people would avoid looking, would avoid searching, would avoid feeling, would avoid the unconscious that had been stored away. Because the collective has had so much storage, the Earth Mother and the Great Mothers will be working with that deep unconscious and moving it through the larger experience in the next couple of years."

 

"On the larger scale there are those who have not chosen to do their personal unconscious work and the deep collective that has been stored away. It is impossible for the transformation on a larger scale to happen without the gift, the grace and the blessing of these powerful conscious feminine presences moving more rapidly through to relax and open greater pockets of this storage. How that looks, how that feels in the larger whole I do not know and I cannot predict. But, I do know that those of you who are at this point, the more you are connected into this deep wisdom within the large feminine capacity that is yours, you will have a different experience. You will open to an empowered experience, a presence that is unwavering, aligned and conscious as well."

 

'Your heart is an inner experience. Your heart senses, feels and knows what is real and what is true. It has been overwhelmed by the mind collectively in humanity for so long that those of you who are opening your hearts often feel as if waves of repressed experience, repressed knowing, suppressed and denied awareness in your heart, is opening. And you do not understand often how much there is. Well, it is part of your own reservoir, part of what has been relegated to the deep unconscious along with life and all of the emotions of your experience."

 

"Fear is not an emotion. Fear is a contraction that is held in place by the mind. Fear is a contraction bound by belief, by stories, by memory, by definition, by suppression and denial. Fear is not an emotion, so you are not going to open your deep unconscious and discover wells of fear. You are dissolving the contraction, and as you do so your mind also is freed from the illusions, delusions, and conclusions that it likes to attach to. Attachment is first in the mind, then in the body."

 

"To pretend that you know something, to pretend that something is true when it is not, binds you no matter when it is or what it is. To pretend that a conclusion that you formed in childhood is true binds you. To pretend that what somebody else said about you or projected onto you was true binds you. To pretend that you know what you need to know binds you. Release the pretenses. Release the binding in your mind. Crown and Root are collaborators in this binding. You only did what you learned to do. You only did what was passed on through from that age of the exploration, the great patriarchal time."

 

"For many, many, many centuries you've been taught to believe, use your mind and believe, make it so. And then the mind became that which made tangible what was true and real. That is turning upside down. As life opens within your own experience of being, as presence is full and filled with this tangible, experiential sense, life will determine what is real. Wisdom within your own fused, spirit-matter being will determine what is true, what is real and what is tangible. And mind takes on another role. It does not go away, it participates in this creative process. It participates, but it does not determine reality."

 

"Relax into the wisdom. Feel it, open to it as much as you have opened your crown and begged for Spirit, for until you find this sense and have access to this foundation you will have great understanding but no power to create."

 

You can hear and experience much more from the recording of this channeling, including a process to begin opening to the deep wisdom. We recommend multiple listenings for greatest effect.
