			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>We continue our trajectory through 2013</strong> with one-third of the year having already moved into the past. Our acceleration moves through phases with <strong>build-ups and then exponential leaps</strong>. We call them <strong>shifts</strong>, perhaps because we don&#8217;t have a better word for dimensional traversal and we can&#8217;t explain it anyway. We may also consider the term more user-friendly than the actual experiences most people have, thus introducing just enough denial to ease the way. I&#8217;m kidding. Sorta. <strong>Avoidance of change is no longer the option</strong> it once was. As the Borg would say, resistance is futile. There is, however, some choice as to how gracefully we choose to let go of old patterns, structures and beliefs. The <strong>sooner you accept the change</strong> in your experience the faster you will move through the process.</p>
<p>The potent energies of the recent Wesak full moon in Taurus gave us yet another opportunity to remember <strong>we have a physical aspect to our nature</strong>. Bodies are working as efficiently as possible to embody more and more of our greater selves. First we release something that no longer serves us, then we embody more of our self. <strong>This is the cycle right now.</strong> Keep in mind that we must process the releases AND the embodiment phases, so <strong>no wonder we&#8217;re feeling exhausted</strong> much of the time. We&#8217;ve been moving through the cycles for years, but the <strong>rate of change is now much faster.</strong> Good food, pure water and lots of rest are my best suggestions for supporting the body as it transforms.</p>
<p><strong>Also helpful</strong> to personal transition is participation in the group processes we facilitate. Our three main events this year are the monthly  <strong>Creator within Creation classes</strong> and <strong>New Moons</strong>, and the <strong>8 planetary sessions</strong>. We&#8217;re now approaching the <span style="color: #800000;"><strong>third planetary session for 2013</strong></span>, which is the cross-quarter that falls mid-way between the spring equinox and the summer solstice.</p>
<p>These sessions are offered as a personal and planetary service at <strong>no charge</strong>, though we do accept donations if you&#8217;d like to offer support. <strong>The cross-quarter event is tomorrow</strong> (Wednesday, May 1st) at 7pm central daylight time. You can participate in person, by internet stream or by phone. The information you need is <a title="Lightsmith Calendar" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/ai1ec_event/cross-quarter-planetary-event-3/?instance_id=550">posted on our calendar listing.</a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s all quite something,</p>
<p>Chris</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Only<strong> three weeks</strong> have passed since the Spring Equinox, yet the activities and challenges jammed into the last 23 days made it feel like a much longer stretch. Time is less linear than one might acknowledge, and we&#8217;ve just had some excellent demonstrations of its elasticity.</p>
<p>The process of disconnecting from Duality has <strong>seriously kicked into higher gear</strong>. The equinox was expected to be the kickoff to major change, but <strong>none of us knew</strong> what that would mean in experience. I, for one, wasn&#8217;t prepared to be <strong>laid flat</strong> by the depleting misery of the ubiquitous norovirus. However, the upside to attracting major purge assistance is achieving <strong>maximum effect in minimum time</strong>. I willingly take my adjustments as needed, but I do reserve the right to be cranky. And yowzer, I&#8217;ve been cranky.</p>
<p><strong>This is a dimensional shift</strong>. We&#8217;re not going anywhere, yet we find ourselves in new territory. During this dimensional transition <strong>our perceptions of self and reality radically change</strong>. A defining element of the dualistic structure is how splits in consciousness generate <strong>perceptions of being separate</strong> from what appears external to us. Our energies then get focused externally through polarities and dependencies. It appears that we should attempt to fix or eliminate whatever we are polarized with, but as you know in that system there is <strong>always something else</strong> vying for attention.</p>
<p><strong>Now we are turning within</strong>. Our reference place in the new dimension is internal, not external. Right now we are increasing the rate at which we<strong> exit duality and</strong> <strong>shift our focus from outward to inward</strong>. Our new natural state is what we have been calling Creator within creation. We have always been the creator of our experiences, but such is not the perception when unconscious of our true nature. Some people speak of a shift to being. We do get to be. <strong>We get to be us, expressing</strong>. This new, living field is clearly designed to <strong>materialize and orchestrate</strong> the desires of all parts of the whole. <strong>All the time</strong>. It&#8217;s a perceptual, referential shift of cosmic proportions. And, it is upon us.</p>
<p>So, it&#8217;s <strong>okay to feel out-of-sorts</strong>. It&#8217;s okay to feel like nothing is the same as it used to be. <strong>It isn&#8217;t.</strong> It&#8217;s okay to feel tired and nauseous. <strong>How can we not feel disoriented and disturbed</strong> when our sense of the world as we have known it is dissolving within us? I&#8217;ve also had the thought that some part of us is moving through the 5 stages of death: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Remember, we used to physically die as the only way to transition beyond duality. <strong>It&#8217;s a gift</strong> to have this rare experience to transition while embodied, but it&#8217;s <strong>not without challenges</strong>.</p>
<p>And one more theory. Almost everyone seems to be dealing with some kind of virus, and<strong> I believe these viruses are assisting our transition.</strong> I have noticed from my own experience that I feel different coming out the other side of this &#8220;adjustment process&#8221;. Something is missing in me that was previously more present. I could name it tolerance, but I&#8217;d rather say I have been <strong>stripped of adaptations</strong> that allowed me to survive the painful aspects of living in duality consciousness. What used to tap at my nonsense filter <strong>now projects itself in giant letters</strong> that say &#8220;hey, I&#8217;m such a giant load of BS and stark-raving madness&#8221;. The assault on my senses was at first so visceral that at times that I wanted to scream.</p>
<p>But, after some initial repulsions <strong>I realized what was happening</strong>. I was focused outward. That horrible feeling of powerlessness endemic in Duality can now be a friendly reminder of <strong>where to pay attention</strong>. Practice is the order of the day. If you find yourself distracted by the outside world just <strong>shift your attention back within</strong> to the aspect of Source that you are. From there you will be well-informed. The Field will take care of the rest.</p>
<p><strong>There is no going back</strong> to what we&#8217;ve known, because now it will be impossible to stomach. There is not a world to be fixed, <strong>there is only a world to be re-created</strong>. Forget the politicians. Forget the bloated, lumbering machinery of a world gone berserk. Forget all those things that want nothing more than your complete energy and attention. <strong>They are dying</strong>, and they&#8217;re doing some kicking and screaming of their own.</p>
<p>We have created ourselves to be <strong>sensitive for a reason</strong>. In duality those sensitivities made for a difficult experience. In the new field they will make for a wondrous experience. We are in a process of transition between the two. We&#8217;ll get there. <strong>Absolutely</strong>.</p>
<p>Told you I was cranky,</p>
<p>Chris</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>This Saturday (tomorrow the 13th</strong><strong></strong><strong>)</strong><strong> is the third session in our 2013 series of Creator within Creation</strong></span>. This series is co-facilitated by Michele and master beings in Spirit. Tomorrow we will be guided by <span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Sanat Kumara</strong></span>, the Ancient of Days, who has been assisting the plan for this evolution of consciousness since before the creation of earth. <span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Anyone can participate</strong></span>, in person or at a distance. <strong><a title="Creator within Creation" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/services-and-events/creator-within-creation/" target="_blank">Read more and register</a>.</strong></p>
<p style="color: #800000;"><span style="color: #000000;">Lightsmith exists as a <strong>resource</strong> for assisting the process of transformation as it occurs. Our events are <strong>consistently at the edge</strong> of what is unfolding in the transition from Duality to the New Dimension of Living Light. Michele is a highly-trained and skilled facilitator who works at<strong> causal levels</strong> in a deeply feminine way.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Everyone,</p>
<p>I know it does not feel much like Spring here in Minnesota, but it is in my psyche! I no longer want to wear turtle necks and winter coats and am craving color. But I also hate being cold, so just a little longer&#8230;.</p>
<p>To perk us all up, I have scheduled a clothing exchange on <strong>Tuesday, April 23 from 6:30-8:30 pm</strong>. These are fun events and everyone usually goes home with some new treasure. It&#8217;s also a way to learn more about what matches you and what may be better on another person even if you are the same element. So clean out your closets and bring clean gently used items of clothing, jewelry, or accessories that are not in your element and you wish to pass along. You can also bring things to check with me in case you are unsure. Cost: $15</p>
<p>Hope to see  you there!</p>
<p>Michele</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Wormhole:</strong> &#8220;<span style="color: #800000;">A tunnel in the geometry of space &#8211; time postulated to connect different parts of the universe</span>&#8220;.  And perhaps different dimensions?</p>
<p>If my soul has a <strong>to-do list</strong> I may soon be able to cross off being<strong> funneled through a wormhole</strong>. It&#8217;s akin to being expressed through a pasta maker, yet disorienting enough to distract you from fully recognizing your new shape. Holy ravioli!</p>
<p>We had our <strong>spring equinox session on Wednesday evening</strong>. Very early Thursday morning I awakened feeling oddly torqued, uncomfortable in any position. I had a sense of twisting inside, as if I was trying to rearrange myself within my skin. I stayed with the feeling until finally recapturing sleep, aware that a process I began earlier was continuing in ways I could never articulate. Who knows what is yet to come, but my <strong>sense of self already feels subtly changed</strong>.</p>
<p>Most of us are <strong>still dissolving adaptations</strong> born of duality. And now certain energies have gone into motion that are <strong>firm, non-negotiable, and final</strong>. The sorting of what moves forward into the new creation is getting serious. On some level you likely have made a choice to join the earth in a new dimensional experience. If so, you may find additional adaptations and distortions within your own field surfacing to be cleared as these sweeping energies move through humanity. You may call your experiences illness, emotional processing, or getting conscious. It does not matter. In the end it simply is this: <strong>whatever is not of essence cannot be taken forward</strong>.</p>
<p>We previously noted our expectation of a <strong>significant process on the equinox</strong>, and I believe we now have redefined understatement. The intensity of energies and the declarations by participants and the Earth Mother were powerful and moving. <strong>Together we created a moment</strong>, one we have been evolving toward and longing for. A moment when we absolutely know we are moving beyond a world wrapped in chaotic denial, and saturated with the unconsciousness of the anti-Life. Like the anticipation after a long airplane flight we finally landed and disembarked into fresh, exciting unexplored territory. As the Earth Mother declared: <strong>It Is So</strong>.</p>
<p>***</p>
<p>I will not tell you much about the process from Wednesday evening. I will tell you it includes choice, acknowledgments by participants and clear intentions of the Earth Mother. The process also <strong>moved out into humanity.</strong> Without doubt this was one of the <strong>most energetically powerful planetary events we have had</strong>. Most meaningful for me were the moments the Earth Mother sounded her language of creation along with the mudras (hand and arm movements) that accompanied her sounds. The rest of the message spoken to us was confirmation and assurance that we are now proceeding together into our next dimensional experience. No worries.</p>
<p>Yesterday I <strong>posted the recording</strong> of the equinox event. You&#8217;ll <a title="equinox" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/shop/freebies/" target="_blank">find it in the Freebies section</a> of the Lightsmith shop. You can complete (or revisit) this process for yourself by <strong>clicking on the website player or downloading the mp3 file</strong> for use on other devices. Highly recommended, as if you couldn&#8217;t tell :)</p>
<p>And now we at Lightsmith get a little break from events for a couple weeks. The next<a title="facilitated breathing" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/ai1ec_event/facilitated-breathing/?instance_id=819" target="_blank"> facilitated breathing group</a> is Saturday morning, April 6th from 10 to 12:30.</p>
<p>Happy about it all,</p>
<p>Chris</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We may<strong> still feel</strong> like we&#8217;re idling, but the shift into drive is <strong>not far off</strong>. The spring equinox is soon upon us, and by the end of the summer we may wonder why we didn&#8217;t better appreciate some down time <strong>while we had it</strong>.</p>
<p>This brief update is a reminder of what&#8217;s setting up here at Lightsmith during March, and how you can join us for what&#8217;s going into motion. Following this listing of events you will find a <strong>short summary by Michele</strong> of how our first Creator within Creation session began last month.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">But first:</span></p>
<p>Our next Creator within Creation session is <strong>this coming Saturday</strong>, March 9th from 1-5pm. <strong>Mary Magdalene</strong> will be our guest co-facilitator, energetically present and assisting during the introduction and process portion of the day. At some point Michele will also open to channel her with a <strong>more direct message</strong>. This year you can choose to participate in any or all of these events, so even if you missed last month with Kuthumi you can <strong>join us this Saturday</strong>. <a title="Creator within Creation" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/services-and-events/creator-within-creation/" target="_blank">Read more and pre-register.</a></p>
<p>Then, the <strong>New Moon</strong> is upon us quickly <strong>next Monday</strong>, February 11th from 7-9pm. This year the Earth Mother is very present to assist our physical forms and work with us to better understand and focus the currents of creation. The Creator within Creation sessions assist further embodiment of the Rays of Creation, and the New Moon sessions are focused on the materializing Currents of Creation. <a title="New Moon sessions" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/services-and-events/new-moon-sessions/" target="_blank">Read more.</a></p>
<p><strong>And finally, the Spring Equinox</strong>. This planetary event is open to everyone at no charge (<a title="Lightsmith Support" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/lightsmith-support/" target="_blank">donations</a> accepted). We will begin at <strong>7pm on Wednesday, March 20th</strong>. We never know the focus of these planetary events ahead of time, but they&#8217;re always quite profound and put us to work in ways that serve ourselves individually and humanity as a whole. <a title="Spring Equinox" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/ai1ec_event/spring-equinox-planetary-event/?instance_id=548" target="_blank">Read the calendar listing</a> for video streaming and phone connection logins.</p>

<p><span style="color: #800000;">Excerpts from the February Creator within Creation session</span> (intro summary by Michele).</p>
<p>Our very first experiences as spirit beings into this planetary experience of Earth were of awe, wonder and joy. There were no human bodies at that time, no tangible, sensate, physical experiences. The first experiences of Spirit in Earth were mergers with the Devic or natural kingdom. Devic beings evolved within and from the consciousness of the Earth Mother.</p>
<p>In that beginning time, the Devic kingdom was vast. Multitudes of individuated Nature beings populated the Earth in an increasing variety of forms. Trees, rivers, mountains, animals, oceans, insects, all were alive in a sensory physical experience informed by the original Nature beings that were birthed by the Earth.</p>
<p>Those of us in spirit who came into the original time merged with the Nature Devas to feel what it was like to be inside a living vibratory experience. Because it was a little denser and there was sensate experience in the tangible natural world, the first experiences were of exquisite joy and pleasure. Coming from a non-sensate experience, these experiences were very enticing and attractive. Those who came in thought this was paradise in form, which is why this initial phase of consciousness touching the earth is called paradise or Eden. The longer those spirits stayed in these merged experiences within the Devic world, the harder it was to separate back out. It was so exquisite, so joyful, so fun and playful, so delightful that it became hard to go back to the non-sensate experience of pure spirit.</p>
<p>In that initial time, there was much less differentiation. Spirit was much more unified in terms of consciousness. There wasn’t any need for talking or for communicating or verbalizing. Everything was vibrational, everything was frequency, more musical than verbal. In that state, there was no need for a distinct personality. But the more we came into this dimension, the more each soul who was here collected a variety of experiences that were individualizing. My choice and your choice of which Devas we communed with and informed were different. So I collected a whole variety of my own experiences, you collected a different variety of you own experiences as we were weaving in and out, and it individualized us. It started the process of becoming unique. When we could no longer leave this experience with ease, we needed a body of our own to continue our experience here.</p>
<p>It was the choice of spirit to join this exquisite experience of Life. In the natural world, there is life and evolution and then death, in and out of bodies. The animal kingdom, plant kingdom, insect kingdom, fish kingdom&#8211;they all go in and out pretty fast. In the natural world, the imprint of the experience of moving in and out of form is not imprinted as painful. But the first time that Spirit experienced that change of form it imprinted pain because the spirit mind is what imprints and forms memory. Pain starts in the mind, in Spirit. It doesn’t start in the body. The Earth created a kind of natural in and out of form, an organic ecosystem with everything interconnected. It’s the Spirit that imprinted the memory of pain, and then became afraid of it. So the first fear in Earth is a fear of pain.</p>
<p>***</p>
<p>These excerpts are from an introduction that lasted about 1 1/2 hours, so there is obviously much more to the story, with layers of information that wove together. If I had to summarize the key focus for the session I would say that we identified and worked with the embedded imprints of Original Pain that have been carried forward to this day. The release of these structures is now necessary since that fear is not intended to be carried into our next experience of evolving capacities for embodied joy. Following the introduction Michele co-facilitated a process and then channeled the master being Kuthumi.</p>
<p>As we have noted, it is not necessary to have participated in this session to proceed with others. However, the information and processes will be helpful for those who still wish to experience them.

<p>All astir,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Soooo&#8230;.how goes the transition phase of your <strong>arduous rebirth</strong>? <strong></strong>That would be transition as in <strong>labor</strong>. As in the stage of labor where you feel <strong>out of control</strong> and start to <strong>wonder what you were thinking</strong> when you first began the process. I claim zero personal experience with growing and delivering a child, given my lack of what is required, but I have sought consultation with my close friend Dr. Google. I&#8217;ve been informed that transition is the stage of child-bearing that makes the previous stages seem<strong> teasingly tame by comparison</strong>. It&#8217;s like thinking mild salsa is hot until discovering the California Death Pepper, then after recovery quietly rasping an appropriate understatement like <strong>you know, I really wasn&#8217;t expecting that.</strong></p>
<p>Perhaps the friendly recruiter<strong> didn&#8217;t fully explain</strong> the process of how you were going to become &#8220;all that you can be&#8221;? It&#8217;s more likely<strong> the plan lacked specifics</strong>, but feeling adventurous you said sure, sounds cool, count me in. LOL. As I was hinting in the January 23rd update, the recent winter solstice wasn&#8217;t offering a direct conveyance to a world of rainbows and butterflies, it was a shift into the <strong>wait, what?</strong> transition phase of labor. Less LOL, additional releasing and more flu. <strong>Adjustments</strong> all around.</p>
<p>Besides feeling out of control, <strong>distractions and annoyances get turned up to 11</strong> during transition. It&#8217;s perfectly OK if you have pulled your energy out of areas in your life where you no longer wish to give attention. That is part of the <strong>release and realignment</strong> process. And if you have felt like you want to go out of your mind, well there&#8217;s an upside to that, too. We have been counseled more than once by friends in Spirit to practice relaxing the mind&#8217;s attempt to understand what is happening.  And FYI,  it&#8217;s okay to feel tired, cranky, or bored. Your energy is being used exactly where it is needed. <strong>All is well</strong>.</p>
<p>I sometimes wonder if <strong>surrendering the mind&#8217;s grip on control</strong> isn&#8217;t one of the larger challenges of the whole process for most of us, especially since the imbalance of mental dominance over Life has been our experience for so long. I do my best to remember that <strong>we&#8217;re not actually losing our minds</strong>, they&#8217;re just transforming along with the rest of us. Michele offers a simple observation <strong>&#8220;if you&#8217;re in your mind you aren&#8217;t being present&#8221;</strong>. Roger that.</p>
<p>As the<strong> futility of resisting</strong> the process sinks in, we relax and turn in preparation for our delivery into a new facet of creation. The <strong>exact moment of arrival is unique to each</strong>, but the gateway opens during the Spring Equinox in March. Assisting the emergence for ourselves and others is what 2013 is about for Lightsmith. We have a rather <strong>high-test approach</strong> this year, including a variety of events with one main focus: <strong>direct, effective facilitation of your process</strong>. As for those curious minds, we have plenty of fresh information to keep them happy, too.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Here&#8217;s the overview</strong></span>. Note the new Saturday breathing sessions:</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Creator within Creation.</strong></span> Jumping right to the hyperbole, this is<span style="color: #800000;"> the most fascinating, potent and effective work you are likely to experience anywhere.</span> I don&#8217;t know anyone who is teaching/facilitating anything like it. <strong>These classes are directly sourced</strong> from those in Spirit assisting the transformation, and we are learning things we&#8217;ve never heard before. The direct interaction with the Rays of Creation and the changes that occur in participants in the processes guided by Michele are beyond my ability to describe. <strong>We are working directly with creation</strong>, and it&#8217;s not philosophical, mechanical or dogmatic. It is <span style="color: #800000;">deeply, deeply experiential and transformative </span>at core levels. What I&#8217;m trying to say is these are not some kind of seminars. They&#8217;re <span style="color: #800000;">accelerative life choices</span>, and they&#8217;re open to everyone each month on the second Saturday from 1-5pm. And, you can participate locally or at a distance. <a title="Creator within Creation" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/services-and-events/creator-within-creation/" target="_blank">Read more</a></p>
<address><span style="color: #800000;">Note: We found the first Creator within Creation session from February 9th to be important and  fascinating as we learned new chapters of our earth history when many of us were first attracted to the grand experiment here. We are excited to share more of what we learned and have decided to excerpt the story and create a separate update with some of the details. Watch for that special mailing in the coming week.</span></address>
<address> </address>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>New Moon Sessions.</strong> </span>These evenings are effective individually and as counterparts to the Creator within Creation series. The CWC series works with Spirit and the Rays of Creation. These New Moon sessions work with the Earth Mother and the manifesting Currents of Creation with a focus on your personal expression as the creator of your experience. You can participate locally or at a distance. <a title="New Moon Sessions" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/services-and-events/new-moon-sessions/" target="_blank">Read more</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Facilitated Breathing.</strong></span> By request we have added these sessions on the first Saturday of each month from 10am-12:30pm. Michele will coach people through a facilitated breathing process based on the deep-release and Quantum Light Breath techniques. These sessions are open to people who have previously taken the introductory sessions with Michele and/or Roxann Kay. It will be possible to participate at a distance if you have had the introductory session in person. The next event date is less than two weeks away on March 2nd. <a title="Breathing" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/ai1ec_event/facilitated-breathing/?instance_id=818" target="_blank">Read more</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Planetary Events.</strong></span> The Spring Equinox on March 20th is next and is a highly significant planetary session. These events are presented without charge on a donation basis. The people that gather for these sessions benefit directly and also serve as surrogates for humanity and the planet. <a title="equinox" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/ai1ec_event/spring-equinox-planetary-event/?instance_id=548" target="_blank">Details on the calendar</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Michele </strong>has passed along her latest perspective on how our two main series of events are <strong>inter-related</strong> this year:</p>
<p>&#8220;As the currents for the year open up, I can sense a bit more how <strong>the Creator Within Creation classes </strong>and the<strong> New Moon events </strong>will complement each other. The 2nd Saturday classes will be with the <strong>Master teachers who will be guiding us</strong> to master our own frequencies, our choices, our emotions, our daily experience of Being. The New Moons will be facilitated by the Earth Mother and friends and we will be moving into greater <strong>mastery of materializing</strong> who we are within our bodies, our lives, and our world. All of the<strong> Spirit Beings and Earth Mother </strong>feel quite energized and excited to be moving with any who choose into this year&#8217;s adventure. We start with Kuthumi on <a title="calendar link" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/ai1ec_event/creator-within-creation/?instance_id=534" target="_blank">Saturday, Feb. 9 </a>and the Earth Mother on <a title="New Moon event" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/ai1ec_event/new-moon-event/?instance_id=391" target="_blank">Monday, Feb. 11</a>. I hope to either see you at Lightsmith or feel your participation in the field at a distance during one or both of these experiences.&#8221;</p>
<p>Our preparations these past years have brought us to this point. <strong>We are entering a new life in a new dimension</strong>, and it is time to receive some masterful guidance for how to proceed. We now have dates on the calendar for our main events this year, but the details are far from known. Those of you who have been part of our mastery series know that the content of each session isn&#8217;t known even to Michele until the day of the events. <strong>Each month we gather for the unveiling</strong> of these special presentations and together we <strong>open to the mystery and discover the gifts</strong> as they reveal themselves. Being in that process with each other is itself deeply satisfying, and <strong>we greatly appreciate everyone</strong> who creates these moments with us.</p>
<p>We begin on Saturday. Your presence is requested.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The</strong> <strong>first planetary event of the year is tomorrow night</strong>, Friday, February 1st at 7pm central time. During these events we open to be of assistance to humanity and the planet. We never know ahead of time what the focus will be, but the sessions are always interesting and benefit participants as well. There is no charge for this event. You can join us by internet stream, phone, or in person. Login details are on <a title="Cross-Quarter details" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/ai1ec_event/cross-quarter-planetary-event-2/?instance_id=397" target="_blank">the calendar listing</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Our new Creator within Creation series begins in 9 days</strong> on Saturday, February 9th. Michele and masters in Spirit will be co-presenting the most leading-edge material available for personal expansion and conscious creation, along with processes to assist the deeper embodiment of the Rays of Creation. Please pre-register soon if you plan to attend. You can participate in person or at a distance.

<p>January has melted away despite the frigid temperatures, and the sense of time passing will accelerate even more rapidly this year. I suspect it won&#8217;t be long before 2012 will be forgotten (if it isn&#8217;t already) and the next doors will be opening. Not knowing what&#8217;s ahead is becoming the most interesting part of the trip, and we thank you for sharing the journey with us!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Back in the pre-historic days</strong> of the mid 1990&#8242;s Michele and I found ourselves connecting with a man who had spent extensive time researching the Maya and their calendar system. Through our work with him we realized he was carrying a <strong>level of information that did not synch</strong> with the notion, popularized in 1987 by Jose Arguelles, that the &#8220;shift&#8221; suggested by the current version of the Mayan calendar would occur in December of 2012. We later realized that our encounter had arranged with a high degree of synchronicity and there was something significant to learn from our association. After several sessions of study with this man <strong>we formed a different view</strong> about some interpretations regarding the calendar. Consequently, the timing of what was to unfold in 2012 was <strong>perceived to be a little off</strong>.</p>
<p>Since <strong>all is well in the grand scheme of things</strong> there was nothing to be gained by sharing radically different information during the build-up to the end of 2012. We had plenty of other distractions competing for attention. And yes, we certainly had an<strong> abundance of energies to work with during December</strong>, including those of the 12/12/12 new moon and 12/21/12 solstice. The solstice is always a powerful moment in the earth&#8217;s cycle, <strong>but does it really feel</strong> that some kind of &#8220;launch&#8221; would be aligned with the stillness of the winter solstice and the time of turning deeper within?  I&#8217;m just sayin&#8217;.</p>
<p>You may have noticed <strong>how much has NOT been moving </strong>these past weeks. Integration is part of the reason, but <strong>timing is another</strong>. There is much orchestration taking place within consciousness, and it is our view that the spring equinox is more in alignment with perhaps the original prophecy of the Maya. The expansion energy and sprouting of new growth has a spring timing (at least in our hemisphere) when the &#8220;shift&#8221; in outer expression is more likely to commence. During the quiet time <strong>we&#8217;ve been gestating</strong> what is to come to birth.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re still in the process of pulling more of our energies out of the old structures. <strong>You&#8217;re not alone</strong> if you&#8217;ve been having <strong>long, deep sleep patterns with complex dream scenarios</strong>. You&#8217;re also in good company if pretty much <strong>nothing seems interesting</strong>, even things that used to be more integral to your life. Just so you know, it&#8217;s perfectly okay if you&#8217;re feeling like a slug, need to be less active in the outer world or still feel like you&#8217;re cleaning up a loose end or two. Or three.</p>
<p>The stage for our new season is set for a<strong> debut on Saturday, February 9th</strong>. The first session of our <strong>Creator within Creation series</strong> begins on that day and continues each second Saturday for all of 2013. Soon we begin the long-awaited shift out of lifetimes of healing and into<strong> creating what&#8217;s next</strong>. During the recent channeling of January 12th we had an unexpected visit from Saint Germain. He spoke to the time we are entering and <strong>set in motion</strong> what we will be working with this year. Here&#8217;s a small sampling of his larger message:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Each of you knows in some ways that you were born for this new dimension. You know that you never fit into the old one.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;There comes a time where creation becomes the theme rather than release or clearing. There is more to manifest now, more to draw into your life. More to experience.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Your reality is different. It is changed. It has transformed beyond what others would want you to believe. It is opening within you a new creation, a new dimensional experience.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>You can <a title="Creator within Creation PDF" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/PDF/CreatorClasses.pdf" target="_blank">read the full text</a></strong> of that channeling and learn more about our new Creator within Creation series by <a title="Creator within Creation PDF" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/PDF/CreatorClasses.pdf" target="_blank">downloading this PDF file</a>. You will also find signup information on either the<a title="Creator within Creation events page" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/services-and-events/creator-within-creation/" target="_blank"> Creator within Creation events page</a> or the <a title="Creator within Creation calendar listing" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/ai1ec_event/creator-within-creation/?instance_id=510" target="_blank">calendar listing</a> for February. These classes, <strong>co-taught by Michele and friends in Spirit</strong>, will bring in new, <strong>leading-edge material</strong> with potent processes assisting us to embody the Rays of Creation. <strong>The time of  moving into mastery has arrived</strong>, and I&#8217;m confident our experience will go beyond what anyone thinks is meant by conscious creation.</p>
<p><strong>No less powerful</strong> will be the other two scheduled events in February: The <a title="Cross-Quarter planetary event" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/ai1ec_event/cross-quarter-planetary-event-2/?instance_id=397" target="_blank">Cross-Quarter planetary event</a> on Friday, February 1st, and the <a title="New Moon" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/ai1ec_event/new-moon-event/?instance_id=391" target="_blank">New Moon</a> personal attunement session with the Earth Mother on February 11th. You will find details for participation on the listings in <a title="Lightsmith Calendar" href="http://www.lightsmith.com/calendar/" target="_blank">the calendar</a>, including the login information for the evening of the Cross-Quarter.</p>
<p>Right now <strong>we&#8217;re in a contraction</strong> reflected in the extreme cold over much of the United States. But, I can feel the ramping up already beginning, <strong>moving us into position for our expansion</strong>. We would love to have many of you join us this year for the Creator within Creation series. There are<strong> no prerequisites</strong>, you can do <strong>any or all of the programs</strong>, and these sessions are<strong> open to everyone</strong>. If the last two years of mastery classes were any indication, then this is going to be the year of the wow. Make that <strong>WOW!</strong></p>
<p>Wow,</p>
<p>Chris</p>
