Object In The Sky Still Making Its Nightly Visit
Here’s a picture that resembles what I have been witnessing in the sky each night for 4 weeks now. I have an astronomer on it now. Last weekend we watched it for 2 1/2 hours before it seemed to put itself into park – it literally stopped and dimmed – staying in the same location for 45 minutes which at that point sleep demanded our attention.
LEAVING TIME – The Arcturians
I wrote this in July when we were on the 101 Highway going to Northern California. The traffic was practically stopped, and I could “feel” the aura of all the fires that were burning in that area of the state. I remember that I asked the Arcturians about the upcoming presidential votes, and wrote down their answer on the only paper I could find. I have not released it till now, well, you will know why when you read it…
Dear Suzille,
As you know, the United States has always been a corporation and had never been a democracy. Before the people of the United States can change that situation, they will need to know about it. But, many of them do not want to know. They will stay in the 3D Matrix, which will gradually self-destruct.
The third dimension is actually a “booster rocket” for Gaia’s ascension. With every birth there is a death. The amniotic sac is alive while it nurtures the fetus, but dies so that the infant can live.
Just as some mother spiders give themselves over as food so their many baby spiders can survive; some members of the United States feel the need to “eat their mother land” so that they can survive. But they will NOT be allowed to “eat the planet.”
These people that the darkness has created can only destroy the matrix. The matrix is the like the “spider web,” which the dark ones perceive as their home. If a spider web were destroyed before the baby spiders were mature, these baby spiders would die.
In the same manner, if the matrix were destroyed, the un-awakened ones would not have an illusion of a reality in which they could learn about Earth’s cause and effect, and energy out is energy back operating system.
These un-awakened ones think they are ON the planet, but they are actually ON the matrix, which is the scaffolding for Earth. When Gaia is fully matured into fifth dimensional New Earth, the scaffolding will be taken down and the illusion of the third dimension will disappear.
Just as a dead person must eventually discover that he or she no longer has a physical body, those that can only perceive the 3D matrix will eventually realize that they no longer have a 3D Matrix.
Those who have only known “life on the Matrix” will discover they are no longer have a third dimensional Earth on which they can act out their wars, greed, fear and domination.
Because these lost ones could not progress at all during their incarnations/schools on planet Earth, and even went backwards, they will return to Source to be placed within the formless state of preparing for eventually being an individual human.
Our experiment to see if a reality, based on separation and individuation, could create evolution into a higher dimensional experience. The “experiment” has revealed that only a small percentage of those who logged in to that reality are able to evolve into a sentient being based on unconditional love.
Gaia took on too many laggards. The laggards are those who failed, even after multiple chances, to become a higher-dimensional, sentient being and reconnect to their Multidimensional SELF.
Gaia will need to release these lost ones, laggards, if she is to ascend. In other words, just as the baby spiders eat their mother, the laggards will eat/destroy their mother planet. It has been proved that war does NOT assist evolution enough to make the horrible destruction and hate worthwhile.
Therefore, war is not a viable option to assist the release of the lost ones. Just as the “baby spiders,” need to eat their mother to survive, many of these lost ones believe they must “eat the planet” to survive.
These lost ones are not able to realize that if they harm their planet, they simultaneously harm their own self and the future of humanity. They are thinking in an instinctual manner. like the “baby spiders,” in order to survive at all cost.
Just as bees, and other beings, are choosing to leave 3D Earth and not return, so are many humans. The 3D school is closing. Those who have expanded their consciousness into the fifth dimension will continue to deeply commune with Gaia, as well as their Galactic Family.
These volunteers to assist Gaia took third dimensional bodies to assist physical Earth with Her return Home. Eventually, the third dimension will become “the shaft of the wheat.” Just as when the shaft of the wheat falls away, and the life force of the wheat is revealed.
Within each of you is your fifth-dimensional Lightbody that your physical form has been surrounding. As your attachment to the physical world is released, the fifth-dimensional Lightbody will slowly, or quickly, replace the physical form.
Each fifth dimensional Lightbody will have the choice to return to the higher dimensions or to populate one of the many fifth dimension worlds that couldnot be perceived via their former third dimensional perceptions.
Your physical form was much like a personal starship, which was grounded on Earth. While you were still wearing your higher dimensional form of the HERE and NOW, your perceptions were much like multidimensional windows through which you could perceive the higher fourth dimension, fifth dimensions and beyond.
However, over the many eons of wearing an earth vessel, the illusions, polarity and pain, closed the higher dimensional “windows” and only the third/fourth dimensional windows into reality remained functional.
Without the perceptions of the higher worlds, you forgot about them. Then, Gaia became much like a “prison planet” in which there was mostly pain and suffering with no means of escape.
Therefore, higher dimensional beings took third/fourth dimensional incarnations in order to tell the truth of hope, God, and redemption. These “higher beings in human clothing” gathered followers around them, trained them, and then ascended to return to their higher dimensional homes.
Unfortunately, without their Guru leader, many of the followers fell into forgetfulness and soon return to their “spider nature” of eat or be eaten. Fortunately, a few remembered the truth and called home to the higher dimensions for assistance.
Now, you are at the “crest of the Wave.” Therefore, you can try to catch the wave and have an exciting ride back to the shores of your higher dimensional self. Or, you can dive under the wave and hope that you can catch the next wave.
We want you to know that there is such a thing as “the last wave.” This Last Wave is coming soon to your timeline. Will you choose to catch this wave, or will you choose to dive under the wave in hopes that another opportunity will arise.
We are HERE NOW to warn you that Gaia is choosing to catch that wave of ascension.
Some humans found their inner truth and will lovingly assist with Gaia’s move into the fifth dimension, but other humans have decided to “wait this out and get back to it at a later time.” However, that “later” time will not occur because “time” is closing.
The bus into the fifth dimension is arriving, but it is on its last run into the third dimension. Every person who catches that bus has volunteered to take different components of Gaia’s 3D essence with him or her.
Then, when that last bus drives away, all of Gaia’s third dimension essence will be gone and the third dimension will become a ghost town.
“Wait,” we hear the lost ones say, “How much time do we have?”
“Time is an illusion of the third/fourth dimension,” we respond.
“Does that mean we have to leave Earth?” we hear them say,
“NO,” we say in response, “That means that you have to LEAVE TIME.”
“The 3D/4D Matrix is based on time. Thus, reality based on time takes time to change. However, the time to change is NOW. Right NOW, the third/fourth, time/space paradigm is being replaced with the fifth dimensional paradigm of HERE / NOW.
“Those still addicted to time can only believe that it will take a great deal of time to change. On the other hand, more and more awakened ones are realizing that time, and thus space, are third dimensional illusions that are created and acted out by the inhabitants of that reality.
“Those who are prepared to perceive the new energy patterning of fifth dimensional reality, which is based on NOW, are increasingly feeling, hearing, and seeing a higher dimensional format of reality.
That reality is calling you NOW. If you do not act within the NOW of that call, you fall back into “waiting for the time in which you are ready.”
“But, how do I prepare for the NOW?” ask those still bound by time.
“There is no TIME or SPACE in which you can prepare to embrace the NOW of the fifth dimension.
All that you will DO to prepare for the NOW must be DONE NOW.
If you “take the time” to wait for the NOW, think about the NOW and even prepare for the NOW, that NOW will not occur because you will become lost in the time that you took to “prepare for the NOW.”
You cannot “prepare” for the fifth dimensional NOW, as it is not a place that you can visit when you have the “time to go there.” The fifth dimensional NOW is a “state of consciousness” that calibrated your perceptions to a reality that infinitely exists within the NOW of the ONE.
You are moving into a state of consciousness that is free of all third/fourth dimensional markers of time or space. In order to remember how to exist within that frequency of reality, you will need to release the 3D Operating System of “time” that has bound you to the third/fourth dimensions.
“How do I release an operating system that I didn’t even know I had?” we hear you ask.
“You must remember the YOU that you were before you became lost in the third/fourth dimension. That YOU is free of the time/space that limited your perceptions to the third/fourth dimensional time-bound realities,” we respond.
When you release the illusion, the truth will be revealed.
But how can you release an illusion that you always believed was the TRUTH?
How can you find the courage to remember that everything you ever experienced in any of your third dimensional realities was just an illusion?
To that question we respond, “When you enter the NOW of your fifth dimensional SELF you will leave time. Then the third dimensional time-bound act of ‘remembering’ will be replaced with the fifth dimensional NOW of KNOWING.”
We invite you to visit that NOW. You can stay as long as you please, or just take a quick peek into the “unknown” that you are NOW remembering. Fortunately, within a timeless reality there is no quick or slow, as there is NO time to measure those third dimensional concepts.
Once within the operating system of your fifth dimensional NOW, there is no “quick.” There is no “peek,” as there is not time to create those measurements of action or perception.
Within the flow of the fifth dimension and beyond,
YOU are ONE
WITH the HERE
IN the NOW

Redefining Relationships
I remember in my 20’s reading an interview with Nicole Kidman. Speaking of relationships, she said, and I quote, “Monogamy is not natural.” Those words resonated with me at the time, and I didn’t know why. In fact, I was only 25, newly married myself, so I tried to convince myself she was some strange hippy who was into orgies – the only way at the time I was able to dismiss my interest in her words while maintaining my own illusion that I was some pious angel who never even thought of other men much less desired to connect with them in whatever way came naturally to me.
However, as I came to learn, once a chord of Truth is struck within, it never leaves you.
Iceland Unearths Rock to Appease Angry Elves
Reykjavik (AFP) – Iceland has been forced to bow to pressure from elves and uncover a supposedly enchanted elfin rock after highway workers accidentally buried it — infuriating the mythical creatures, reports said Tuesday.
The angry elves were suspected of causing a series of mishaps after the rock was covered over when workers cleared away the debris from a landslide, the Morgunbladid daily reported.
Iceland is no stranger to bending to the will of its elfin population.
Construction sites have previously been moved so as not to disturb the creatures and fishermen have refused to go to sea because of their warnings: in Iceland, elves are part of every day life.
Sveinn Zophoniasson, who works for the Bass road construction company, told the paper that his woes began in August 2015 in Siglufjordur, close to the site of the so-called “elfin lady stone” that was covered with earth following efforts to cleat a mudslide from a highway.
After the landslide was cleared, the road was subsequently flooded and a colleague of Zophoniasson who came to clear the route was injured. Then industrial machinery began to fail and a journalist who came to cover the growing chaos fell into a mud pool and had to be pulled to safety.
“Nobody even thought of the rock,” even though the area is regarded as a sacred place in local folklore, said Zophoniasson.
The decision was made that the Iceland Road Administration would unearth the rock — an artifact according to a 2012 law to protect Iceland’s elfin heritage — and it was subsequently cleaned with a pressure washer last week.
Elves are described by the hundreds of people who claim to have seen them as simple, normally peaceful creatures that look like humans — but smaller.
In 1971 elves reportedly disrupted construction of a national highway from Reykjavik to the northeast. The project suffered repeated unusual technical difficulties because, it was claimed, elves did not want the large boulder that served as their home to be moved to make way for the new road.

Archangel Michael: September-December 2016 Most Important and Energetic Earth Period in Human History as 3D Matrix Now Comes to an End
Editor’s note: Yes. Absolutely. Resonates fully with me. Have had similar and same thoughts for some time. I have felt too that I am here to be a part of this process – this is my biggest purpose. Here to help guide others who have not undertaken the journey and choices I have. Beautiful times are ahead. Change and chaos and out of that, beauty. Rest easy. All is ok. And as this piece says, treat yourself the way a mama does her baby – something my Higher Self has been telling me for awhile now. And pardon the all-caps. The author is a facebook friend of mine and this is simply how he types.
Archangel Michael: September-December 2016 Most Important And Energetic Earth Period In Human History As 3D Matrix Now Comes To An End
SEPTEMBER-DECEMBER 2016 WILL BE THE MOST IMPORTANT AND ENERGETIC EARTH PERIOD IN HUMAN HISTORY BECAUSE THE 3-D MATRIX NOW COMES TO ITS END
*
ARCHANGEL MICHAEL – FINAL PHASE of HUMAN 5-D ASCENSION! – via MICHAEL LOVE – 8-26-16
DEAR FAMILY OF LIGHT,
YOU ARE LIVING IN UNPRECEDENTED TIMES! SEPTEMBER-DECEMBER 2016 WILL BE THE MOST IMPORTANT AND ENERGETIC EARTH PERIOD IN HUMAN HISTORY BECAUSE THE 3-D MATRIX NOW COMES TO ITS END AND THE BEINGS THAT RESONATED WITH IT ARE IN FOR AN EXTREME AWAKENING AS THEY MOVE FROM 3D TO 5D IN A VERY SHORT LINEAR TIME PERIOD!
THE FINAL PHASE
MANY ARE AWARE THAT SOMETHING HUGE IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND IS ALREADY HAPPENING IN OUR BODIES, OUR PERSONAL LIVES, ON A PLANETARY SCALE AND EVEN ON A GALACTIC SCALE.
THIS IS THE TIME WRITTEN OF OLD WHEN GREAT CHANGE COMES TO THE EARTH AND ITS BEINGS, AS THE OLD OUT-MODED SYSTEM GIVES WAY TO SOMETHING NEW AND BETTER! THOUGH THE EARTH IS IN AN INCREASING STATE OF CHAOS, KNOW THAT THIS WILL BE CUT SHORT AND IS THE LAST PART OF OUR DIVINE PLAN AND OUR MISSION FOR EARTH’S GREAT ASCENSION PROJECT.
THE GREAT STAR BEINGS HAVE SAID THAT WHEN THE EARTH MOVES, YOU WILL MOVE WITH HER, SO DO NOT SEE ANY OF THIS AS FEARFUL BUT AS THE NATURAL AND NORMAL TRANSFORMATION FROM ONE PHYSICAL REALITY TO A COMPLETELY NEW ONE.
DURING THIS TIME OF CHAOS AND CHANGE, THE BEINGS OF EARTH WILL START TO RISE UP IN A GRAND SOCIAL REVOLUTION AS THEY SEE MORE CLEARLY EACH DAY THEY HAVE BEEN HELD CAPTIVE IN AN ANTI-LIFE, MANIPULATED, PSYCHOLOGICAL SYSTEM THAT IS NOT IN THEIR BEST INTEREST!
THE ‘CAT’ IS OUT OF THE BAG SO TO SPEAK NOW AND THE SNOWBALL IS GROWING IN SIZE, SPEED AND STRENGTH AS IT ROLLS DOWN HILL. THOUSANDS OF BEINGS ARE WAKING UP EVERY DAY NOW, SEEING HOW THEY HAVE BEEN DUPED BY BEINGS WITH A CONTROLLING AGENDA DESIGNED TO STEAL ALL SENTIENT ENERGY.
HUMANITY IS WITNESSING INCREASING CLIMATE CHAOS GLOBALLY WHICH IS THE RESULT OF POWERFUL NEW ENERGIES INTERACTING WITH THE EARTH’S MAGNETIC FIELD. MANY ARE STARTING TO BECOME AWARE FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT 3D IS NOT THE ONLY REALITY AND STARTED THEIR SEARCH FOR THESE NEW REALITIES! AS MORE BEINGS WAKE UP AND THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT ON THE EARTH INCREASES, THE CHANGES HERE WILL BECOME MUCH MORE PHYSICALLY NOTICEABLE.
MANY OF YOU CAME TO EARTH AS ANGELIC FORERUNNERS, ALREADY AWARE OF THE GRAND PLAN WE ALL CREATED AND YOU’VE BEEN SPEAKING MESSAGES ABOUT THE GREAT CHANGES UNDERWAY AND GIVING ADVANCE WARNINGS TO THE ONES WHO HAVE SLUMBERED FOR EONS!
THIS IS THE MISSION YOU CAME HERE TO DO AND YOU HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL! NOW YOU WILL SEE YOUR WORDS BECOME MANIFEST BEFORE ALL AND YOU WILL BE STANDING HERE STRONG AND READY TO ASSIST THROUGH IT ALL! THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN TRAINING FOR AND MANY WILL SEEK YOUR GUIDANCE AND HELP AS THINGS UNFOLD! WE APPLAUD YOU FOR THIS GREAT WORK!
A STRONGER AND LARGER STATE OF COHERENCE IS FORMING ALL ACROSS THE GLOBE AND THE COMPLETE FREEDOM IS ABOUT TO BREAK OUT ACROSS THE ENTIRE WORLD! A RETURN TO WHAT IS NATURAL FOR THE SOUL WILL SOON BE THE NORM ON PLANET EARTH AS THE SYSTEM HERE CONTINUES TO CHANGE.
THESE GREAT CHANGES INCLUDE ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE; MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL AND THEY AFFECT OUR RELATIONSHIPS, WORK SITUATIONS, AND THE ABUNDANCE THE FLOWS TO US. THE PEOPLE OF EARTH CAN NO LONGER MAINTAIN OLD ENERGY-DRAINING SYSTEMS, HABITS, AND IMBALANCES, THEREFORE, WE MUST EXAMINE AND REPLACE QUITE A LOT. THE ENTIRE SYSTEM HERE WILL BE COMPLETELY REVAMPED DISCARDING AND REPLACING WHAT IS NOT PRO-LIFE!
BEINGS THAT CONTROL AND MANIPULATE OTHERS AND WHO VIBRATE AT A LOW FREQUENCY WILL HAVE NO PLACE IN THIS NEW FREQUENCY OF EARTH. IN FACT, AS THE FREQUENCY GAP BETWEEN 3D AND 5D+ INCREASES, IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR THIS KIND OF VIBRATION TO EXIST WHERE YOU ARE, SOON!
THE UNIVERSE AS WELL AS THE DIVINE GUIDES OF THE NEW EARTH WHO WILL REPRESENT A MORE INTELLIGENT AND HEALED SOCIETY WILL PROPERLY DEAL WITH THESE LOW VIBRATIONAL ENTITIES UNTIL THEY ARE ALL COMPLETELY HEALED AND ABLE TO ENTER INTO THE NEW SOCIETY THAT IS COMING.
DNA-UPGRADES AND LIGHT-CODES
THE CHANGES ON THE PHYSICAL LEVEL INCLUDE A TOTAL RE-CODING OF OUR DNA. SOLAR FLARES HAVE AN IMPACT ON LIFE ON EARTH. INDEED, THESE FLARES CHANGE THE DNA SIGNATURE OF ALL SENTIENT LIFE HERE. THE IONIZED PARTICLES THAT ARE BLASTING THIS PLANET ARE EVOLVING EVERY SPECIES TO A HIGHER FORM OF ITSELF.
SOLAR FLARES AND SOLAR WINDS ERUPT ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS AND THIS GAMMA LIGHT ENERGY ENTERS THE ATMOSPHERE OF OUR PLANET AND REACHES EVERY LIVING BEING, PENETRATING TO THE CELLULAR LEVEL COMPLETELY RE-WRITING THE GENOME OF THE SPECIES.
CURRENTLY, THERE ARE NOT ONLY SOLAR FLARES COMING IN BUT ALSO LOTS OF NEW ENERGIES FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES: COMETS, STAR SYSTEMS, PLANETS AND MASSIVE GAMMA RAY BURSTS IMPACTING EARTH CONSTANTLY FROM THE CORE OF THE UNIVERSE.
THIS HAS OCCURRED BEFORE IN PAST TIMES, BUT SINCE THE BODIES AND MINDS OF HUMANS HAVE BEEN VERY DENSE AND SHUT DOWN DUE TO DORMANT DNA, NONE OF THIS HAS HAD AN IMPACT ON THE HUMAN BEING.
THIS TIME, MANY EARTHLINGS ARE OPEN AND READY TO RECEIVE THESE ENERGIES AND LIGHT-CODES AND LET THEM WORK THROUGH THEIR BODIES AND THEIR WHOLE SYSTEMS. THIS HAS AN ENORMOUS POTENTIAL TO UPLIFT THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF HUMANITY IN A VERY QUICK WAY. WE MUST RENEW, RE-CODE AND REWRITE A LOT OF OLD PROGRAMS THAT WERE WRITTEN INSTALLED IN THE HUMAN BODY AND MIND ON A SUSTAINED BASIS FOR EONS.
WE ARE NOW WAKING UP AS A PLANET AND AS A HUMAN RACE. STOP FOR A MOMENT AND THINK ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS AND WONDERS OF THIS FACT! DOESN’T IT CREATE A CHILD-LIKE FASCINATION INSIDE OF YOU AS YOU CONSIDER THE INFINITE NEW POSSIBILITIES?
NEW WORLD CLEANSING ON ALL LEVELS
WE SAID EARLIER THE MORE ADVANCED BEINGS HERE, THE GUIDES OF NEW EARTH CALL FIRST WAVE ASCENSION BEINGS WILL DEAL WITH THE BEINGS WHO ARE NOT QUITE READY YET AND WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO INHABIT THE NEW EARTH! WHAT IS THE PROCESS THAT WILL GET THEM ALL UP TO WHERE WE ARE? THE ANSWER IS SUFFERING AND PAIN!
YOU MAY SAY, THIS DOES NOT SOUND VERY PROMISING FOR THEM BUT WE SAY, “YOUR OWN SUFFERING A ND PAIN OVER MANY INCARNATIONS, AND EVEN IN THIS LAST ONE, WAS THE CATALYST THAT WOKE YOU UP!” EVERY MASTER WILL TELL YOU THAT SUFFERING AND PAIN IS WHAT CAUSES A BEING TO BEGIN AND COMPLETE THE ASCENSION PROCESS!
THE MASTER WILL ALSO TELL YOU THAT THIS PAIN AND SUFFERING IS ONLY TEMPORARY UNTIL YOU REACH A STATE OF INNER HEALING WHERE YOU HAVE TRANSCENDED IT ALL! THE TIME IT TAKES TO GET TO THIS TRANSCENDED STATE OF BEING IS TOTALLY UNDER YOUR CONTROL.
BEINGS THAT HAVE NOT REACHED THIS TRANSCENDED PHASE IN THEIR SOUL’S EVOLUTION ARE GOING THROUGH A LOT OF PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL PAIN RIGHT NOW AND OTHERS FEEL UNUSUALLY TIRED. SINCE HUMANITY IS TAKING SUCH A MAJOR STEP IN THEIR EVOLUTION IN CONSCIOUSNESS AND THEIR PHYSICAL BODIES, MANY MIGHT EXPERIENCE A TIME, WHERE THEY FEEL CHALLENGED AND PUSHED TO THEIR LIMITS.
THE LAST WAVE OF BEINGS TO ASCEND ARE STARTING TO SHIFT THEIR 3RD AND 4TH-DIMENSIONAL LIVING TO A 5TH-DIMENSIONAL FREQUENCY. THE EARTH ITSELF IS NOW VIBRATING IN THE 5TH DIMENSION (AS WELL AS MUCH FASTER) AND A LOT OF HUMANS HAVE ALREADY UPGRADED THEMSELVES TO THIS LEVEL AND TO HIGHER DIMENSIONS AS WELL, OR ARE DOING IT RIGHT NOW. NEW ENERGIES OF LOVE ARE ENTERING THE EARTH AND A NEW POTENTIAL FOR HUM-KIND HAS AWAKENED.
NEW LIGHT ENTERS THE MATRIX
THE NEW LIGHT FREQUENCIES THAT ARE COMING IN NEED NEW SPACE. THEREFORE, WE ARE GOING THROUGH A DEEP CLEANSING TO GET RID OF EVERYTHING OLD, RESTRICTIVE AND DENSE, THAT WE NO LONGER NEED.
THE PHYSICAL BODY GETS RID OF TOXINS AND OLD PROGRAMMING. THE EMOTIONAL BODY HEALS WOUNDS FROM THE PAST AND PRESENT AND DETOXES FROM UNHEALTHY EMOTIONS LIKE ANGER, GRIEF OR SADNESS. OUR MIND IS CHALLENGED TO RELEASE OLD BELIEFS AND SURRENDER INTO THE UNKNOWN.
OUR ADVICE HERE IS QUESTION EVERYTHING AND LOOK MUCH DEEPER INTO WHY YOU BELIEVE A THING. IF THE BELIEF SYSTEM CAME FROM INSIDE THE MATRIX IT IS DISTORTED AND NOT ALIGNED WITH THE 5D LEVEL OF TRUTH! IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER HERE THAT THERE IS NO ABSOLUTE TRUTH BUT INFINITE, MORE ADVANCED AND HIGHER LEVELS OF IT WITH NO END! THE HIGHER A TRUTH VIBRATES, THE MORE TRUE IT IS! TRUTH IS SUBJECTIVE AND IS IN DIRECT PROPORTION TO THE TOTAL FREQUENCY LEVEL ONE RESONATES AT.
THERE IS VERY LITTLE DATA (LIGHT) IN THE DARK 3D MATRIX, SO THIS IS ALL THE DATE A BEING VIBRATION AT 3D COULD HAVE ACCESS TO. THE VERY SEEKING OF KNOWLEDGE AND THE RATE AT WHICH IT IS INTEGRATED (ACCEPTED) CAUSES THE INTERNAL VIBRATION TO INCREASE IN DIRECT PROPORTION.
AS WE ARE UPLIFTED AND AS WE MOVE UP THE VIBRATIONAL SCALE, WE ARE REQUIRED TO LEAVE EVERYTHING OUTDATED, DENSE, AND THAT WHICH DOES NOT SERVE OUR SOUL BEHIND US, SO WE CAN ENTER THROUGH THE VEIL INTO A NEW WAY OF BEING. THE FASTER THIS PROCESS OCCURS, THE MORE LIKELY WE MIGHT FEEL SYMPTOMS ON A PHYSICAL LEVEL. DO NOT ADD ANXIETY TO THIS AS IT IS VERY NORMAL, AND ONLY TEMPORARY.
AS NEW LIGHT DATA IS INTEGRATED INTO THE BODY, A BEING WAKES UP WITH THE SYMPTOMS RELIEVED AND FEELS LIKE A NEW CREATION! DURING DNA-LIGHT-DATA INTEGRATION PERIODS, MANY EXPERIENCE ASCENSION SYMPTOMS SUCH AS NAUSEA, HEADACHE, FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS, FEELING SPACEY AND DISCONNECTED, INABILITY TO SLEEP, SINUS PROBLEMS AND OTHER ACHES AND PAINS. AT TIMES WE MIGHT ALSO FEEL A SYMPTOM THAT GOES BACK TO ANOTHER LIFETIME, WHICH WE ARE HEALING. IT ALWAYS HELPS TO KNOW, THAT WHAT WE ARE FEELING, WE ARE HEALING.
THE GREAT BEINGS FROM THE STARS TELL US THAT THIS NEW LIGHT DATA IS ONLY ENCODED INTO THE DNA WHEN A BEING IS IN A DELTA SLEEP STATE. DURING THE TIMES, WHEN YOU MAY FEEL VERY TIRED AND EXHAUSTED, IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO JUST SLEEP BECAUSE DURING OUR SLEEP STATE, WE CAN PROCESS. WE INTEGRATE IN A MUCH QUICKER AND EASIER WAY IN DELTA SLEEP STATE THAN IN WAKING CONSCIOUSNESS SINCE NO EGO OR FEAR IS BLOCKING US. THIS IS ALSO TRUE FOR INNER HEALING AND CLEARING ENERGY BLOCKAGES FROM OLD EMOTIONAL TRAUMAS.
WHEN WE WAKE UP IN THE MORNING, STILL FEELING TIRED; THIS MIGHT BE A SIGN THAT WE HAVE ALLOWED A LOT OF TRANSFORMATIONS OCCUR DURING THE NIGHT. IN THE ANGELIC COMMUNITY, WE HAVE A SAYING AFTER WE INTEGRATE LIGHT DATA DURING DELTA SLEEP. WE SAY, “I WAS DID A LOT OF WORK LAST NIGHT!”
BY THIS WE MEAN WE MAYBE DID SEVERAL HUNDRED, EVEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLEX THINGS AT THE SAME MOMENT (MULTI-TASKING ON MANY LEVELS), EVEN TRAVELLING TO MULTIPLE PLACES AND HEALING OTHER BEINGS WHILE WE DID OUR OWN INNER WORK!
IT IS SAID THAT IT WOULD TAKE MANY YEARS IN WAKING CONSCIOUSNESS TO DO THE SAME AMOUNT OF ASCENSION WORK YOU ACCOMPLISH IN 8 HOURS OF DELTA SLEEP. DELTA CONSCIOUSNESS IS ONE LEVEL ABOVE HUMAN BODY DEATH AND MANY MASTERS AND MONKS ARE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THIS STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS DURING THEIR MEDITATIONS, SLOWING THEIR BREATHING AND HEARTBEAT TO A STATE THAT RESEMBLES BODY DEATH.
WHAT’S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS IS, NO MATTER HOW LONG THE MONK STAYS IN THIS STATE OF BEING, THEY ARE AFFECTED BY NO EXTERNAL FACTOR, NOTHING IN THE BODY CHANGES AT ALL AND THEY ARE ABLE TO BRING THEMSELVES BACK TO WAKING CONSCIOUSNESS AT ANY POINT BY THEIR INTENTION.
OUR GUIDANCE ON ASCENSION SYMPTOMS IS THIS: TAKE IT EASY ON YOURSELF DURING THESE TIMES AND SHOW YOURSELF NOURISHING, TENDER LOVE AS A MOTHER WOULD FOR HER SACRED BABY! BREATHE SLOW AND DEEP SEVERAL TIMES PER DAY, GROUND THE BODY USING CRYSTALS AND BY WALKING BAREFOOT ON GAIA!
ONLY ENERGY FOODS AND NATURAL HERBS, RELAX AND LET GO FULLY ALLOWING AND ACCEPTING ALL OF THIS. SEE IT AS THE WAY IT IS AND KNOW THAT YOU AND YOUR BODY ARE PERFECTLY FINE! THE OPPOSITE AND NOT SO PRODUCTIVE THING IS TO PANIC THINKING SOMETHING IS BAD WRONG AND RUSHING TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM ONLY TO FIND OUT YOU ARE HAVING A PANIC ATTACK AND THAT ALL TESTS SHOW THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE BODY! THIS IS ALSO A WASTE OF TIME AND 3-D FAKE MONEY!
THE MORE ONE RELAXES AND TRUSTS IN THIS WHOLE ASCENSION PROCESS, THE EASIER THEY WILL NAVIGATE THROUGH IT AND THE FASTER THEY WILL TRANSCEND THE LOWER THINGS!
AS AN ANGELIC AND HUMAN RACE CO-HABITATING THE EARTH, WE ARE NOW RELEASING ALL THE OLD DENSITIES AND RESTRICTIONS. WE WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THE LIMITING BELIEFS AND LIVES WE ONCE HAD. NOW WE ARE GETTING IN ALIGNMENT WITH OUR HIGHER ASPECTS (OUR GOD-HOOD). BY SHEER INTENTION, AND INNER DISCIPLINE WE ARE WORKING OUR WAY INTO OUR OWN GOLDEN AGE AND A NEW WORLD FILLED WITH JOY, PEACE, LOVE, AND FREEDOM.
IF YOU WILL MAKE YOUR ASCENSION THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY AND WORK ON IT WITH ALL OF YOUR BEING, AND THE MORE YOU SURRENDER TO IT ALL AND RELAX INTO IT AND ALLOW IT WITH FULL EMBRACE, WE ASSURE YOU THAT YOU WILL MAKE A QUANTUM LEAP FROM A HOPELESS, DESPERATE, FEARFUL STATE OF BEING TO AN AMAZING NEW LIFE WHERE EVERY NOW MOMENT IS FILLED WITH MIRACLES AND MAGIC!
PEOPLE WILL LOOK AT YOU AND ASK HOW IS IT YOU ARE SO MAGNIFICENT IN EVERY WAY AND THEY WILL WONDER WHAT YOUR SECRET IS! IF THEY ARE READY AND WILLING (MOST OF THEM ARE NOT QUITE YET) THEN SIMPLY TELL THEM ALL THAT WE HAVE TOLD YOU!
GOD-SPEED ON THIS INCREDIBLE JOURNEY OF YOUR SOUL, ARCHANGEL MICHAEL
CONTACT US AT MICAHGUARDIAN@GMAIL.COM AND WE WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO DEAL WITH THE GRAND EARTH CHANGES OCCURRING ON THE EARTH IN AN EASY AND EFFECTIVE WAY IN A SHORT TIME IF YOU ARE READY AND WILLING!

SETI Astronomers Investigating NEW ‘Alien’ Signal
Editor’s note: Even though astronomers are saying this is likely of a terrestrial origin, I would say, given it’s news out of Russia, that this is soft-disclosure.
A fascinating ‘strong radio signal’ originating from a Star much like our sun has astronomers baffled who are checking whether or not this signal is evidence of an advanced extraterrestrial civilization nestled in the Constellation Hercules.
A Russian Observatory intercepted a mysterious signal; Its origin is unknown.
The newly found signal –which originated from a distant sun-like star— has SETI researchers excited.
Even though the enigmatic signal discovered by scientists at Russia’s RATAN-600 radio telescope — located in Zelenchukskaya, southern Russia— was intercepted in May of 2015, for an unknown reason the discovery was not made public until recently. Interestingly, according to SETI’s leading astronomer Seth Shostak is extremely interesting.
During an interview with GeekWire, Shostak explained that the ideal scenario when intercepting such a signal would be for another independent telescope to confirm the discovery.
The Search For Extra Terrestrial Intelligence is gathering its ‘troops’ who will investigate the enigmatic star known as HD 164595 in the constellation Hercules with the Boquete Optical SETI Observatory in Panama.
While extraterrestrial intelligence cannot be excluded at the moment, another more plausible scenario is that the signal is the result of ‘microlensing’ a phenomenon that occurs when a star’s gravity focuses singles that originated elsewhere.
However, if it is Aliens –which we still don’t know— then we could be looking at an extremely advanced alien civilization, one that cannot be compared to ours, at least not technologically speaking.
According to Paul Gilster who reported the discovered on Centauri Dreams:
Paul Gilster, who reported the find on Centauri Dreams, says, “Working out the strength of the signal, the researchers say that if it came from an isotropic beacon, it would be a power possible only for a Kardashev Type II civilization. If it were a narrow beam signal focused on our Solar System, it would be a power available to a Kardashev Type I civilization.”
According to researchers, the star in question has around 4.500 million of years and has at least ONE exoplanet orbiting it every forty days. Astronomerbelieveve there could be other planets orbiting the mysterious star that have so far evaded detection.
While many people want the signal to be of extraterrestrial origin, Shostak warns we must remain cautious, not jumping to conclusions.
“The signal may be real, but I suspect it’s not ET,” he told GeekWire.
According to newsweek.com, the International Academy of Astronautics’s SETI Permanent Committee will discuss the research at a meeting scheduled for September 27, during the 67th International Astronautical Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Speaking to Ars Technica, Nick Suntzeff, a Texas A&M University astronomer says: “God knows who or what broadcasts at 11 GHz, and it would not be out of the question that some sort of bursting communication is done between ground stations and satellites,” he told Ars Technica, explaining that the signal was observed in the radio spectrum used by the military. “I would follow it if I were the astronomers, but I would also not hype the fact that it may be at SETI signal given the significant chance it could be something military.”
All of the above means that while the signal is of extreme interest to astronomers, it is very likely –as always— that there is a far more ‘terrestrial’ explanation than extraterrestrial as many are hoping.

7 Reasons Why We Do Not Need a President
Gary ‘Z’ McGee, Staff Writer
Waking Times
“It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.” ~Douglas Adams
No single human being should ever be allowed as much power as the president is given, no matter how competent, worthy, or wise they may be. Power can take down the most robust of characters. It’s a fire that burns unless it is somehow dispersed and expiated. The irony is that nobody who wants to be president should be president, because they are the ones most likely to become corrupt, if they’re not corrupt already. Lured by power, lured by the need to rule, lured by the need to control, those seeking power are the least fit to wield it. So it most definitely goes.
Sure, there might be exceptions out there somewhere. But it is highly unlikely. There may be a “Harry Potter” out there in the real world, who is willing to break the “Elder Wand” so its power doesn’t have a chance to corrupt. But it is very doubtful. There may be a “Maximus” out there somewhere, willing to “defeat Rome” and “once all of Rome is his,” simply walk away. But it is highly doubtful. Barring any real-life mythological heroism, power over others is simply too much responsibility for one person, or even a group of people, to handle. With that taken into consideration, here are seven reasons why we do not need a president.
1.) Power Tends to Corrupt
“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” ~Lord Acton
This is the biggest reason why we do not need a president. The average human simply cannot handle power. As Abraham Lincoln observed, “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” Authentic power empowers others. Honest power has no need to cling to power, it releases it instead. It spreads it out. It expiates it. It empowers others.
We don’t need a president with power, we need more leaders who understand the nature of power. We don’t need a president for the same reasons we don’t need leaders who are intent upon gaining followers. We need leaders who are intent upon creating better leaders. Authority be damned. Hierarchy be damned. The only thing that matters is the prevention of corrupt power, lest we inadvertently slip into a tyrannical state.
The president is given too much power. That’s the bottom line. On a long enough timeline such power becomes corrupt. And here we are, living in a time where the corruption is rampant within a bloated, unhealthy, unsustainable system built upon violence and ignorance. And still, the ballot boxes are fat with the myopic votes of the blindly obedient.
2.) The Presidency Just Propagates the Outdated Power of the State
“The Great Lie is that this is civilization. It’s not civilized. It has literally been the most blood-thirsty brutalizing system ever imposed upon this planet. This is not civilization,
this is the Great Lie. Or if it does represent civilization, and that is truly what civilization is, then the Great Lie is that civilization is good for us.” ~John Trudell
The state: a mass of paranoia and ignorance accumulated over time to create the most monstrous beast of human ill-thought to have ever defaced the planet. The state: billions of people elbowing each other through the codependent wretchedness of hierarchical violence. The state: a propped up entity of ominous design, placating its citizens with freedom like a carrot dangling on a stick. The state: a distended concept of the overreach of power, fattening and fattened upon, the reasoning centers of the brains of those fooled by the trickle-down theory of (an inhumane) human commodification. Or, asNietzsche claimed, “The State is the name of the coldest of all cold monsters. Coldly it lies; and this lie slips from its mouth: “I, the state, am the people.””
Alas, the accumulation of the state has led to the erosion of individual freedom. A bottom-up approach toward reclaiming individual power, and thus individual freedom, should come first. But that doesn’t mean we should turn a blind eye to what must come second (if there is to be anything left to be free in at all) –a systematic collapse from the top-down. It begins when we get over this outdated notion that we need a president.
3.) Anarchy Trumps All Other Forms of Governance
“Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.” ~Plato
Anarchy has a bad rap. This is due, in no small part, to the false accusations and trumped-up charges vomited out by statist-individuals with propagandized soup for brains.
Anarchy is so simple it should be common sense. It literally means no masters, no rulers. It does notmean no rules. It simply means following rules that actually matter (cosmic law; common sense, the golden rule, the non-aggression principle, etc.), rather than obeying rules and laws made up by other fallible human beings.

Blind obedience is the problem, the glitch, the fly in the ointment within any and all governance that falls under the corrupt umbrella of the state. And so blind allegiance to a president is a hindrance for any human being seeking freedom from the tyranny of would-be rulers and upstart masters.
4.) Horizontal Democracy Trumps Representative Democracy
“There is nothing more difficult to execute than to introduce a new order of things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old system as his enemies.” ~Machiavelli
Ours is not a democrat/republican issue. That’s just smoke and mirrors; another way to keep the people divided on tough issues so that it gets the government off the hook for making bad decisions. It doesn’t get them off the hook, but it does slow things down.
No. It’s not a bipartisan problem, it’s a system problem. The struggle here is against a corrupt construct, not against people. This type of struggle requires a different tactic. The answer is not to win, or to give up, or to get revenge, but to create something new –in this case, new ways of communicating and updating policies within that construct, while questioning outdated policies and misconceptions regarding politics and civics that can get us out of the statist box.
Giving into the bipartisan propaganda just makes matters worse for everyone. True democracy,horizontal democracy, doesn’t work this way. It never has and it never will. Like JFK said, “Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer.” And the “right” answer just so happens to involve individualized freedom that thwarts the tyranny of representative bipartisanship.
5.) We Need Prestigious Leaders, Not Power-Hungry Rulers
“You are only a disciple because your eyes are closed. The day you open them you will see there is nothing you can learn from me or anyone. What then is a Master for? To make you see the uselessness of having one.” –Anthony de Mello
Leading by example will always be healthier than leading by authoritarian rule. The former allows for the blossoming of the human spirit under freedom. The latter blocks the flourishing of the human spirit under rule of tyranny. Real leaders don’t need followers. They don’t even need power. They lead by prestigious example and slip out of the strangleholds of power like a snake shedding its skin.
As it stands, the typical person seeking to become president falls under an authoritarian bent. Which is all the more reason why we don’t need a president to begin with. Our precedence should be that we don’t need a president. And if that’s not cryptic enough for you, there’s this metaphor: heads of state and heads of snakes must be chopped off often, and for the same reason.
6.) Bestowing Power to a President Leads to an Apathetic Citizenry
“The disappearance of a sense of responsibility is the most far-reaching consequence of submission to authority.” ~Stanley Milgram
A community leading itself tends to be a proactive community. A community commanded by a leader atop a hierarchy tends to be an apathetic, politically myopic, and civically inert community. So it goes with the “commander and chief” tossing dictates down an ill-conceived chain of command. We have an entire nation playing the victim, caught-up in a viciously codependent chain of obedience.
A wide-awake citizenry is almost impossible under such barbaric conditions. We must have the audacity to turn the tables. We must have the courage to flip the power dynamic, to take our power back from the outdated chain of command. No longer should we bestow power to a so called head of state and hope it trickles back down to us. We should bestow power to the only thing in existence that we can ever morally hold tyranny over –ourselves.
7.) Progressive Evolution is Handicapped by Outdated Tradition
“What is this inner revolution? This revolution is a breaking away from the old, repetitive, dead structures of thought and perception that humanity finds itself trapped in. Such a revolution requires an ongoing emptying out of the old structures of consciousness and the birth of a living and fluid intelligence. This intelligence restructures your entire being—body, mind, and perception. This intelligence cuts the mind free of its old structures that are rooted within the totality of human consciousness.” ~Adyashanti
Liberated evolution becomes healthy revolution. The ebb and flow of the human experience through time must be allowed to be one of trial and error. Trial and error that becomes law and order is the bane of human evolution. As James Russell Lowell intuited, “Time makes ancient good uncouth.”
As such, it is incumbent upon us to learn from the mistakes of our forefathers by not being like our forefathers but, rather, learning from their mistakes and using what they got right as stepping-stones toward something healthier. Which just so happens to place anarchy against tyranny, amoral agency against the so-called “morality” of the state, and passionate freedom against the conformity of the status quo.
If it’s true, as Aldous Huxley said, “that men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach,” then it behooves us to keep this lesson at the forefront and not allow outdated traditions to hinder the healthy, progressive, and sustainable evolution of our species. The ill-conceived concept of the presidency is precisely such an outdated tradition. It’s time we left it behind on the parochial woodpile of all things obsolete, dried-up, and combustible. Burn baby burn! While we’re at it, we can toss the Imperial State Crown of England into the fire as well.

Speaking Of Money…
Given my recent piece on money and another piece on solving the problem, I thought I would make today’s Daily Notes on the thing we all love to hate and hate to love: money.
I have a love/hate relationship with money, like many of you. I love it when I have it and hate it when I don’t, which for me means I have hated money my entire adult life.
:::insert pause for laughter:::
Seriously though. I have come to believe and know for a fact that money is a means to enslave us and control us from how happily/easily we live to how we feel about ourselves. Anyone who struggles with having enough money will tell you it is easier to be happy when you have enough money on a consistent basis. And those folks (myself included) will also tell you there is a general impression in our culture that those who have the most money and are financially stable are given more respect and feelings of worth. I saw this in spades growing up as a child and it made me uncomfortable then while today it rather repulses me. Continue reading “Speaking Of Money…”
Why Poor People Stay Poor. Saving Money Costs Money. Period.
Excerpted from Hand to Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America by Linda Tirado. Out now from Putnam.
I once lost a whole truck over a few hundred bucks. It had been towed, and when I called the company they told me they’d need a few hundred dollars for the fee. I didn’t have a few hundred dollars. So I told them when I got paid next and that I’d call back then.
It was a huge pain in the ass for those days. It was the rainy season, and I wound up walking to work, adding another six miles or so a day to my imaginary pedometer. It was my own fault that I’d been towed, really, and I spent more than a couple hours ruing myself. I finally made it to payday, and when I went to get the truck, they told me that I now owed over a thousand dollars, nearly triple my paycheck. They charged a couple hundred dollars a day in storage fees. I explained that I didn’t have that kind of money, couldn’t even get it. They told me that I had some few months to get it together, including the storage for however long it took me to get it back, or that they’d simply sell it. They would, of course, give me any money above and beyond their fees if they recovered that much.
I was working two jobs at the time. Both were part time. Neither paid a hundred bucks a day, much less two.
I wound up losing my jobs. So did my husband. We couldn’t get from point A to point B quickly enough, and we showed up to work, late, either soaked to the skin or sweating like pigs one too many times. And with no work, we wound up losing our apartment.
It’s amazing what things that are absolute crises for me are simple annoyances for people with money. Anything can make you lose your apartment, because any unexpected problem that pops up, like they do, can set off that Rube Goldberg device.
One time I lost an apartment because my roommate got a horrible flu that we suspected was maybe something worse because it stayed forever–she missed work, and I couldn’t cover her rent. Once it was because my car broke down and I missed work. Once it was because I got a week’s unpaid leave when the company wanted to cut payroll for the rest of the month. Once my fridge broke and I couldn’t get the landlord to fix it, so I just left. Same goes for the time that the gas bill wasn’t paid in a utilities-included apartment for a week, resulting in frigid showers and no stove. That’s why we move so much. Stuff like that happens.
Because our lives seem so unstable, poor people are often seen as being basically incompetent at managing their lives. That is, it’s assumed that we’re not unstable because we’re poor, we’re poor because we’re unstable. So let’s just talk about how impossible it is to keep your life from spiraling out of control when you have no financial cushion whatsoever. And let’s also talk about the ways in which money advice is geared only toward people who actually have money in the first place.
I once read a book for people in poverty, written by someone in the middle class, containing real-life tips for saving pennies and such. It’s all fantastic advice: buy in bulk, buy a lot when there’s a sale on, hand-wash everything you can, make sure you keep up on vehicle and indoor filter maintenance.
Of course, very little of it was actually practicable. Bulk buying in general is cheaper, but you have to have a lot of money to spend on stuff you don’t actually need yet. Hand-washing saves on the utilities, but nobody actually has time for that. If I could afford to replace stuff before it was worn out, vehicle maintenance wouldn’t be much of an issue, but you really can’t rinse the cheap filters and again—quality costs money up front. In the long term, it makes way more sense to buy a good toaster. But if the good toaster is 30 bucks right now, and the crappiest toaster of them all is 10, it doesn’t matter how many times I have to replace it. Ten bucks it is, because I don’t have any extra tens.
It actually costs money to save money.
It is impossible to be good with money when you don’t have any. Full stop. If I’m saving my spare five bucks a week, in the best-case scenario I will have saved $260 a year. For those of you that think in quarters: $65 per quarter in savings. If you deny yourself even small luxuries, that’s the fortune you’ll amass. Of course you will never manage to actually save it; you’ll get sick at least one day and miss work and dip into it for rent. Gas will spike and you’ll need it to get to work. You’ll get a tear in your work pants that you can’t patch. Something, I guarantee you, will happen in three months.
When I have a few extra dollars to spend, I can’t afford to think about next month—my present day situation is generally too tight to allow me that luxury. I’ve got kids who are interested in their quality of life right now, not 10 years from now.
Here’s the thing: we know the value of money. We work for ours. If we’re at 10 bucks an hour, we earn 83 cents, before taxes, every five minutes. We know exactly what a dollar’s worth; it’s counted in how many more times you have to duck and bend sideways out the drive through window. Or how many floors you can vacuum, or how many boxes you can fill.
It’s impossible to win, unless you are very lucky. For you to start to do better, something has to go right—and stay that way for long enough for you to get on your feet. I’ve done well in years that I had a job I didn’t mind terribly and that paid me well enough to get into an apartment that met all the basic standards. I’ve done less well in years where I didn’t have steady work. The trouble’s been that my luck simply hasn’t held out for long enough; it seems like just when I’ve caught up, something happens to set me back again. I’ve been fortunate enough that it’s rarely compounded, and I’ve stayed at under sea level for short periods instead of long-term. But I’ve stared long-term in the face long enough to have accepted it as a real possibility. It’s only an accident and a period of unemployment away.
