To take a stand, to choose a direction, to believe-to be alive in- anything at all, is to engage the dichotomy of worlds.
Someone will disagree. Someone will think your crazy. Someone will pity you. You may even stir the hatred in the rotten core of a festering sickness of soul because the contrast jarrs it awake in somebody else.
Someone else will try to worship at your feet. Someone will think you can save them. Someone will weep at your doorstep, asking for merciful death. You may even stir the eternal being of love in another human, and their love my surpass yours, and bless all the world.
All of them are engaging with one of the infinite facets of the world soul, and you are the one who wears its face, because that is the right medicine for the moment. And people get the chance to heal themselves, to see the unseeableness of their own being, even as a tiny shard of light broken off from the sun.
If you want to find your tribe in this world, you have to become visible. If you want to meet the group of beings that summoned you into your current form, to address a pressing pain, you have to notify them of your arrival.
The tone of your Soul must radiate from your body with enough clarity to activate recognition of original harmony. In a binary-duality world, this harmonic activation notifies its balancing dissonance of its arrival.
So, don’t worry about offending people. Choose to be true before choosing to be “liked.” Choose deep compassion, before choosing to be “nice.” Choose fierce love, before choosing to avoid the projected thoughts of those who cannot know.
In the end, it is you who are accountable for what you have given to the world, and what you have withheld. So love and rage and dance and wail with your whole being.
Sharing ~ it is short and easy to assimilate ~ and I can relate to the p.s. piece ~ definitely feel my goddess bum getting kicked off and on the past week ~ today very much so! Although I do not have the convenience to stay in bed on a daily basis (she says grumbling…)

The entire month of January is anchoring in our physical body templates (massive re-write that began on 1/1), along with Gaia’s and on a Galactic level too. This re-write always goes deeper into our cellular structures, anchoring all of the New Encodements that we’ve activated since the 11/11 and through December Solstice until 1/11, for those who use linear dates as a marker point. The actual dates are just for awareness, as we are always anchoring, always integrating and always clearing out old linear/matrix programs that were “hidden/buried” deep within our cells. December a huge Passageway, everything shifted literally on 1/11, when more new codes activated for us to fully anchor in.
Last year continued through February 6th. Each year since 2012, this phase has increased to accomplish the immensity of all of these new codes. These phases take all of our focus and energy and we have to cut everything out in order to accomplish this, working in silence and without external disruptions allows us to move through these phases easier. Because our Gatekeeper duties have intensified over the years, I have to keep my schedule more fluid/flexible to accommodate/honor this. When each one of this complete our own processes relative to our own current phase, new portals/gateways immediately open and we move further into implementation phases, while continuing to activate/integrate/anchor with each new gateway we pass through too. ♥
The longer writing, which covers many things will be posted as it’s ready. Honor your process and you. More awesomeness prepares to materialize as all are ready too! ♥
p.s. I’ve been getting my butt kicked and in bed since 1/1. These are beyond huge! ♦
A Patriot has surfaced that is giving many hope and he goes by the name of Q.
Let me start off by saying that the Q Anon / Q Clearance Patriot posts are so vast in scope, to summarize ‘everything’ is nearly impossible. The posts paint a huge picture around the basis that ‘everything is connected and everything has meaning’.
Q appears to have connections at the highest levels and has posted many things that seem to verify that he/she is the real deal. The information that Q has revealed is mostly in the form of a Question leading you to fill in the blanks.
I’m going to give you my feeble attempt at the cliff notes version of an ‘intro’ into some of what is going on and expand on it a little.
QAnon: Down the Rabbit Hole
The Special Counsel is not corrupt. Let me say that again, the special counsel, headed by Mueller, is not running a corrupt investigation. He’s doing the job properly under the guise of investigating the Trump team. This has lowered the guard of the true targets because nobody anticipated it, including the media. There are an unprecedented number of sealed indictments across the nation right now that have not been executed, over 1400 sealed indictments at last glance.
Many high level officials will soon be arrested to actually ‘Drain the Swamp‘ beyond what anyone thought was possible. Once the corruption and the ‘type of corruption‘ is revealed to the American people, it will trigger ‘The Awakening’. This event will be something unlike anything you’ve ever witnessed, Americans will unite behind Trump and his administration for cleaning house.
Even an Atheist knows and must be intelligent enough to know, that Satan worshipers are real, Cults are real and ‘True Evil’ exists. Disinformation is also real. It’s the job of the media and the entertainment industry to keep the public saturated with stimulus designed to keep us blind and distracted. This is where most people ‘tune out’ because it’s too hard for them to swallow. They don’t want to believe that there are people in this world buying children to rape and kill them as sacrifices. It’s tough to stomach but who are we if let this continue, who are we if we choose to turn a blind eye. Evil exists, and it exists at the highest level of the United States government. Don’t be naive and think ‘it can’t happen here’ because I assure you that it is.
The level of importance of this operation equates to a ‘Good vs Evil’ battle that transcends politics. This is a ‘Global Evil’ that attempted to takeover America. Many in our government actively worship Satan, Moloch/Molech and participate Pedophilia, Spirit Cooking, etc. Most Americans are afraid to look this Truth in the eye but True Evil does exist regardless of your religious views. This is not a joke and most definitely not a game. Thousands of Pedophiles and Child Traffickers have been arrested since Trump was sworn in. They are all under heavy investigation, including their funds and their affiliations.
Saudi Arabia, Rothschild and Soros are the puppet masters that fund this Global Evil. For the first time in history, this triangle of funding has lost one of it’s sides and is beginning to collapse. The old Saudi Arabia was funding child trafficking, Hillary Clinton, false flags and various other evil activities. The New Saudi Arabia is just taking form as Saudi Arabia’s King Salman, the same King who honored President Trump during his visit, made an abrupt change in the line of succession. He appointed his younger son Mohammed bin Salman (people call him MBS) as Crown Prince and is reportedly going to step down this week due to dementia, which will make MBS King. As soon as MBS was named Crowned Prince is when ‘The Purge’ in Saudi Arabia began. Hundreds of Officials and other Princes were arrested for corruption charges, many with ties to Clinton, Podesta, Huma, Obama, etc. All of their corrupt dealings and bank records are being investigated. As this unfolds, the paper trail will likely lead to charges here in the United States and could possibly be some of the sealed indictments. MBS has a good relationship with Trump and has vowed to ‘Make Saudi Arabia Great Again’, less strict and more moderate. Saudi Arabia is now working with Israel (highly unusual) and Trump against Iran, Radical Islam and efforts to defund terrorism.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity take out this Global Cabal of Satan worshiping pedophiles.
Military Intelligence and NSA Director Admiral Rogers has played a vital role in rooting out this evil. The ability to avoid ‘other agencies’ and oversight through the power of ‘State Secrets Privilege’ has played a vital role and once the special counsel has concluded, they will have played a vital role as well.
State Secrets Privilege is an ability of Military Intelligence that shields it’s secrets from the Judicial Branch. It has been upheld by the Supreme Court and was established with United States v. Reynolds, 345 U.S. 1 (1953) and expanded during the Bush admin after 9/11. The criteria for invoking this privilege is when:
‘there is a reasonable danger’ that disclosure [of evidence] will ‘expose military matters which, in the interest of national security, should not be divulged.’ The invocation must come from “the head of the department which has control over the matter, after actual personal consideration of that office.
Admiral Rogers, Director of the NSA, Head of all 16 Intelligence Agencies, the man who briefs the President every morning, is an interesting figure in all of this.
Adm. Rogers was in charge of NSA under Obama and kept his position with Trump.
Rogers met with then President-Elect Trump at Trump Tower November 17th 2016, without letting the Obama White House know. 2 days later, Obama was considering firing him before leaving office.
Many believe that Admiral Rogers may have warned Trump about Obama’s Intelligence Community (James Clapper and John Brennan) spying on their activity from the FISA warrant they obtained in October 2016.
Just scratching the surface
This doesn’t even cover 5% of it or even get into the ‘Breadcrumbs’ that Q posted. Regardless of whether you choose to believe Q Anon or not, the momentum that this has created is enormous. Americans have felt a lot of this in their gut for a long time, that something just wasn’t quiet right with these people. ‘Stay strong, have Faith and Pray. The Patriots are in control now.’
Some breadcrumbs dropped here by Trump. 14:55 in: “No matter what you do this is something that keeps pouring in. We’re gonna find the answer. There is an answer. I think i actually know the answer, but I’m not sure the country is ready for it yet. Does anybody know what I mean? I think so.”

All sorts of disruptions… Interesting as last night on social media I saw a message that stated today there would be a big news story relating to the tech industry. This event is the world’s largest electronic’s show….
According to GeekWire, tech giants like Samsung, LG, Panasonic and others suddenly lost power to their booths a little after 11 a.m. local time. LG’s exhibit in the center portion of the hall is enclosed, and when the power dropped out it drew audible gasps from attendees, and for a minute it seemed like some sort of surprise announcement. But everyone quickly realized that there was a problem and brought out their phones to provide a modicum of light as attendees exited the hall.
At around 11:35 a.m., an announcement came over the PA system saying officials are working on restoring power.
I appreciate this one ~ in particular the suggestion to keep all Divine focus on creating the NEW. I continually feel that ~ go within, feel what you Desire and focus all energy on that. Period.
***
You have been shown and introduced to some of Your Divine Gifts and abilities. Are You employing then for the better good, going in and planting goodwill energy seeds of Light?
I believe for the more powerful Ones currently among You, it would perhaps be more efficient and in line with the Ascension, to NOT Love any representation of the Dark. I feel that when Powerful Divine Ones put their energy into sending Love to the Dark Ones, it somehow keeps them energized to some degree. I suggest to ignore the Dark and put the full brunt of Your Divine Prowess, into CREATING THE NEW, which is absent of the Dark.
Each of You MUST follow what sets right with You, what resonates, for that is Your most reliable and dependable guidance tool, sub to the Source connection. It was indeed good in the “old days” to Love Your enemy and not stoop to that level, however, those days are over, and in reality, You have no enemies of concern. Enemies may still be there, but they have no power over You, You are Divinity, of Source, the HEAD HONCHO. No one messes with the Head Honcho, and when He/She has Your back, You are indeed invincible to anything in Creation. Think/Know for Yourself.
Everything that I have shared here on Facebook, was/is to empower You, and bring You back closer to Source, Many of You Know that Now, You Know it is real for the confirmations that You experienced, shows that it is. Erase All doubt and begin using Your Divine Gifts daily, getting in there real deep, at the foundation, and plant the True Good Seeds with Your mentality. Think and wish for what You wish to see, giving it an extra push with that Divine Energy from Your hearts. Let the old fall away, do not put a band-aid energy on it, the quicker it crumbles, the quicker the New takes its place. Support the good to the fullest, while minimizing support in the areas that YOU KNOW must be torn down. Keep UNITING in BIGGER GROUPS, UNITE THE BIGGER GROUPS UNDER AN UMBRELLA GROUP.
As an example of the Prowess of the Masses, LOOK AT THE LAST U.S. ELECTION, the amount that did NOT vote, almost half! This tells You that there is a huge acceptance that the Masses do not support any type of government, these Masses would quickly join a CHOICE that sets them free, they are seeking that choice. Take Canada as well, it has been proven recently that elections, in relation to voting fraud, are rigged. You cannot trust the “voter turnout” numbers presented because they are inflated, they are a lie. The Masses are ready to be called upon, We can/will give them a choice, a choice of freedom, or a choice of further enslavement and ownership of them.
Very quickly, it does NOT have to be built, a free energy Source can be given to the planet, upon the right conditions. In the blink of an eye, all value of money could be changed, equalizing the access. Economics is a farce, a lie, a deception that is unable to stay intact, it has two choices, implode or quickly transition into an equalized foundation. Those that did not share the wealth within the matrix, are efficiently being relieved, they will continue to rapidly implode. Currently, many wealthy ones are beyond redemption, not because they were judged, but because they judged themselves by their own actions and choices. There is no vengeance from the Light, it does not work that way, the vengeance suffered, is self-created by the ones that judged themselves. Every Human Soul Knows what is “right” and what is “wrong”, ignorance is not an excuse here, they were given multiple signs, ie; Trump winning the election when it was rigged against Him, even electronically. Globally this was seen. So something happened with perhaps remarkable odds, they should pay attention. As for Trump, a bit of his act needs cleaning up, and it will come very shortly. It is also a very real possibility that a president of the U.S., nor any other Country for that matter, will be required in the near futures.
I strongly suggest for every Soul upon Gaia, to never vote again in any election, in any country, this will reveal some Amazing numbers for You.
Our fleets are here, many Light troops on the ground, there is NO going back.
Part four. There are several parts in this series of fascinating information, including our history and our awakening. Check it out! I AM SO READY FOR ALL OF THIS!! Every one of these are our RIGHT to have access to and obviously have been withheld from us. The time is here now to intend and see and feel this technology in our lives ~ NOW. I have seen this tech in my visions and when we all go within, we already know that not only does this tech exist, but that we have used it before.

MEDICAL BEDS
THE BODY LEAVES A VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCY OF ORGANS AND LIMBS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM SURGERY OR RADIATION, BUT THAT MEMORY IS STILL THERE.
THE ATOMIZATION PROCESS HAS A COMPUTER DATABASE OF ALGORITHMS THAT IDENTIFIES YOUR DNA AND DOES A COMPLETE INTERNAL ANALYSIS. WHEN YOU DO A MRI THAT DOES A RESONATING SCAN ON YOUR ORGANS ETC – IT SCANS BUT SHOWS THE INTERNAL OPERATION IN A 3D FORMAT IN LIVE TIME, ALONG WITH YOUR BLOOD AND ANY DISEASE THAT ISN’T NORMAL FOR YOUR BODY.
IT WILL COME BACK THROUGH VOICE COMMAND. “DO YOU WANT A FULL RE-ATOMIZATION OR JUST THIS ONE AREA TAKEN CARE OF?” IT WILL GIVE YOU OPTIONS.
YOU GO INTO A DEEP SLEEP, NO INJECTIONS, NO NEEDLES, AND THE RE-ATOMIZER USES TACHYON AND PLASMA ENERGY. EVERYTHING IS A VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCY, EVERYTHING IS PLASMA.
IT LOOKS AT THE BODY AND CORRECTS IMPERFECTIONS. SOME OF US HAVE A DNA FLAW, WE GET 10% OF OUR ILLNESSES FROM THE PARENTS. 90% IS FROM LIFESTYLE.
WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AND IF YOU’VE HAD ANY ORGANS OR LETS SAY YOUR GALL BLADDER IS REMOVED, IT REGENERATES IT AND BRINGS IT BACK TO LIFE.
OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM – IF IT WAS FREE TO DO WHAT IT NEEDS TO DO AND WASN’T INTOXICATED FROM CHEMICALS OR “FOREIGN ENTITIES” AND BEING ATTACKED BY SIDE EFFECTS IT JUST DETERIORATES AND BECOME COMPROMISED. IT IS FIGHTING CONSTANT ABNORMALITIES THAT WE ARE TOLD WE HAVE TO TAKE LIKE PILLS AND PRESCRIPTIONS.
YOUR BODY IS HEALTHY AND NEW BUT YOUR MIND IS STILL THE SAME AGE. YOU CAN GO BACK BUT YOU CAN’T GET OLDER, IT’S A PERMANENT DECISION.
YOU WAKE UP, LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND YOUR BRAND NEW. NO WRINKLES, NO GREY HAIR. FULL EYESIGHT, HEARING, SMELL, ETC. IT REVITALIZES THE ORGANS TO A HEALTHY STATE.
AN 80 YEAR OLD WILL BE ABLE TO BE 30 YEARS OLD AGAIN. BUT THEY HAVE GRANDKIDS AND A LIFE THAT WILL CHANGE BECAUSE OF IT.
AFTER A FEW MINUTES SHE’S PEELED 50 YEARS OFF OF HER LIFE AND COULD HAVE A WHOLE NEW FAMILY IF SHE WANTED TO.

ANYWHERE ON PLANET EARTH.
YOU CAN ALSO TRAVEL WITHIN THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND THE GALAXY.
YOU CAN GO 65 LIGHT YEARS IN 45 MINUTES.
THIS TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN KEPT FROM US.
IT DOESN’T POLLUTE AND DOESN’T SMASH INTO ANYONE.
IT DOESN’T HAVE A G-FORCE. YOU ARE IN A UNIT THAT ISN’T MOVING BUT THE SPACE AROUND IT IS MOVING.
QUANTUM PHYSICS.
YOU ARE TRAVELING IN A TIME SEQUENCE.
JUST LIKE STELLAR SHIPS – UFO’S.
THEY ARE USING A PROPULSION SYSTEM TO BEND LIGHT AND TIME.
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CREATE THESE VEHICLES WITH YOUR REPLICATOR.
THE REMAINING DARK FORCES THAT LIVE IN YOUR CITIES AND TOWNS ARE THE ONLY REASON WHY THESE HAVEN’T BEEN RELEASED.
THEY’LL TRY TO STOP IT.
SO WE HAVE TO BE COVERT AND SMART WITH HIGH LEVEL SECURITY.
YOU ARE HERE TO EXPERIENCE THIS TIME OF TRANSITION.
I remembered weeks ago discussing w/my mate the character “Q” from the Star Trek series. Here’s some information from wikipedia:
***
Q is a fictional character in Star Trek appearing in the Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager series, as well as in related media. In all of these programs, he is portrayed by John de Lancie. He is an extra-dimensional being of unknown origin who is unconstrained by, and possesses immeasurable power over, normal human notions of time, space, the laws of physics, and even reality itself, being capable of violating or altering any or all of them in unpredictable ways with a casual thought or hand gesture, limited only by his imagination. Despite his vast knowledge and experience spanning untold eons (and much to the exasperation of the object(s) of his obsession), he is not above practical jokes for his own personal amusement, for some otherwise unfathomably Machiavellian and manipulative purpose, or simply to prove a point. He is said to be nigh-omnipotent, and he is continually evasive regarding his true motivations.
The name “Q” applies not only to the names of the individuals portrayed (all “male” and “female” characters refer to each other as “Q”), it also applies to the name of their race and to the Q Continuum itself – an alternate dimension accessible to only the Q and their “invited” guests. The true nature of the realm is said to be beyond the comprehension of “lesser beings” such as humans, therefore it is shown to humans only in ways they can understand.
Beginning with the pilot episode “Encounter at Farpoint” of The Next Generation, Q became a recurring character, with pronounced comedic and dramatic chemistry with Jean-Luc Picard. He serves as a major antagonist throughout The Next Generation, playing a pivotal role in both the first and final episodes. Q is initially presented as a cosmic force judging humanity to see if it is becoming a threat to the universe, but as the series progresses, his role morphs more into one of a teacher to Picard and the human race generally – albeit often in seemingly destructive or disruptive ways, subject to his own amusement. Other times, notably during “Deja Q” and Voyager, Q appears to the crew seeking assistance.
Continue reading more here.Of note: 24 hours ago “Q” mentions we are entering into the great awakening. Interesting given some of the information in this linked piece from wikipedia.
13th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States has been altered from its original in order to fool the American public into accepting a government that is mostly illegally in office.
The information contained in the article below contains stunning revelations that the entire U.S. congress should be deemed illegitimate, after evidence that a clandestine plot to alter the U.S. Constitution has now emerged.
In the winter of 1983, archival research expert David Dodge, and former Baltimore police investigator Tom Dunn, were searching for evidence of government corruption in public records stored in the Belfast Library on the coast of Maine.
By chance, they discovered the library’s oldest authentic copy of the Constitution of the United States (printed in 1825). Both men were stunned to see this document included a 13th Amendment that no longer appears on current copies of the Constitution. Moreover, after studying the Amendment’s language and historical context, they realized the principle intent of this “missing” 13th Amendment was to prohibit lawyers from serving in government. So began a seven year, nationwide search for the truth surrounding the most bizarre Constitutional puzzle in American history — the unlawful removal of a ratified Amendment from the Constitution of the United States.
Since 1983, Dodge and Dunn have uncovered additional copies of the Constitution with the “missing” 13th Amendment printed in at least eighteen separate publications by ten different states and territories over four decades from 1822 to 1860. In June of this year (1991), Dodge uncovered the evidence that this missing 13th Amendment had indeed been lawfully ratified by the state of Virginia and was therefore an authentic Amendment to the American Constitution. If the evidence is correct and no logical errors have been made, a 13th Amendment restricting lawyers from serving in government was ratified in 1819 and removed from the U.S. Constitution during the tumult of the Civil War. Since the Amendment was never lawfully repealed, it is still the Law today. The implications are enormous.
The story of this “missing” Amendment is complex and at times confusing because the political issues and vocabulary of the American Revolution were different from our own. However, there are essentially two issues: What does the Amendment mean? and, Was the Amendment ratified? Before we consider the issue of ratification, we should first understand the Amendment’s meaning and consequent current relevance.
MEANING of the 13th Amendment
The “missing” 13th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads as follows:
“If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive, or retain any title of nobility or honour, or shall without the consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office, or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince, or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them.”
At the first reading, the meaning of this 13th Amendment (also called the “title of nobility” Amendment) seems obscure; unimportant. The references to “nobility,” “honour,” “emperor,” “king,” and “prince,” lead us to dismiss this Amendment as a petty post-revolution act of spite directed against the British monarchy. The U.S. modern world of Lady Di and Prince Charles, make anti-royalist sentiments seem so archaic and quaint, that the Amendment can be ignored.
Not so. Consider some evidence of its historical significance: First, “titles of nobility” were prohibited in both Article VI of the Articles of Confederation (1777) and in Article I, Sections 9 and 10 of the Constitution of the United States (1787);
Second, although already prohibited by the Constitution, an additional “title of nobility” amendment was proposed in 1789, again in 1810, and according to Dodge, finally ratified in 1819. Clearly, the founding fathers saw such a serious threat in “titles of nobility” and “honors” that anyone receiving them would forfeit their citizenship. Since the government prohibited “titles of nobility” several times over four decades, and went through the amending process (even though “titles of nobility” were already prohibited by the Constitution), it’s obvious that the Amendment carried much more significance for our founding fathers than is readily apparent today.
