 Hello, beautiful souls. Welcome to this Ascension Energy Update for the year of 2023. In this video, I'm going to share some personal downloads around what to expect from the energies of this year. Also, some specific Akashic guidance to help us through 2023 and the specific spiritual qualities that I'm being shown are going to be really, really important for star seeds in particular to develop this year. Okay, so let's start with an Eagles Eye view of the energies of 2023. And rather than go into great detail here, I'm going to really, really encourage you to check out a couple of my previous videos. There's one called energies of 2021, and then also this December Solstice 2021 video. Both of these really lay out a very overarching view of the Ascension process that the earth is going through right now. And that'll give you a much deeper and more detailed understanding. But just to give you a very short, brief overview, we're definitely going into this dark night of the soul of the collective right and by the collective I mean humanity but also planet earth herself. Okay, because I think there's one thing that we need to be really, really aware of. And that I think a lot of people kind of miss the boat on this one is that humanity and Mother Earth are inseparable, right, we're actually like cells in the body of Mother Earth, right. And so there's this conception I think that is really, really popular these days that we're separate right you hear this all the time, especially among the environmental movements that we're, we're destroying the earth yeah. So our truth to that well we'll get into that in a bit but you know it's it's also we're destroying ourselves so we need to be really, really clear that we and the earth are inseparable. Okay, so that said, at this point in time, we're, we're facing this crisis right we can all feel it, and I feel like the new age for a long long time has really chosen not to see that. And certainly not to the extent to which it is happening on the earth. Okay, so there's one thing to take a really, you know, a positive outlook on things on the universal level on the level of the eternal everything is always okay and that's really important to understand to understand to write no matter what happens going forward. Spiritually, we're always, you know, our home is really the eternal, but we're also manifest in this world and so it's also very important to be very aware of what's actually going on in the world. Okay, and it's not all love and light as we know. But what I'm being shown here in 2023, I've just gotten this, this real revelation that you know things are actually more of a crisis than any of us really realized okay. I feel like it's important for all of us to recognize that just being human at this time on planet Earth, you are and have been dealing with a lot of trauma like an incredible amount of trauma, the, the state that the earth has been brought to right right now is a crisis state. We need to be really, really clear on that and at the same time, have this hope. Okay, because I feel like I, you know, there are people out there there are really accomplished gurus out there even who are already saying it's the end is like you know, there's there's really no hope for life as we know it to continue we're headed for nuclear annihilation, and it's a done deal, and better prepared to transcend right spiritually, and you know, I feel like to each their own right and and this crisis point that we've come to right now so I will circle around back to that, but I wanted to bring this image forward again I have shown this before if you look at the last 2021 December solstice it really explains what this is about. I'm bringing it forward again because I feel like it really illustrates exactly where we're at. And also, it coincides just beautifully with a particular Native American prophecy it's from the Anishinaabe people, called the seven fires prophecy. I'll link in the description to the Wikipedia explanation on that. But very briefly, it says that there will come a time where then they call it the light skin race. I think it's those who, and no matter what skin color, those who have kind of gone on this western path, which is most of the world right now, okay, we'll have to make a choice and it'll be a choice between two paths we're going to be given this choice. And they say one that will be a black and charred path it'll hurt your feet, right and another will be a green and wash and inviting path. So the prophecy says if we take the wrong path, it's going to choose it's going to result in incredible suffering for all of humanity. If we choose the correct path, it will lead to a time of peace and prosperity for all human beings. The feeling like this 2023 is this, we've come to that point we've come to that point of choice. You know, in the article what it says is that the prophecy says that we don't choose either path that we choose to go back to the ways of the ancestors the ancestral path. Okay, and that's actually the way forward. And so, what I've been shown in this painting, which I feel like the painting came forward independently of that prophecy, right but it dovetails so beautifully what I'm seeing here is, first of all the split right between light and dark but also beyond that you can see the three paths there's this dark path here. This is actually the greed and inviting the white snake here is how I'm seeing it. And then the third path would be the ancestral path which is the, the two snakes in the oral borough symbol in the background. Okay, so what I'm seeing is this path here is the path of despair. And this path here I've been told is the path of logging. And this path here, if we take the path behind it right and that's going to be the path that leads to this beautiful new dawn. Okay. Coming into 2023, it's becoming more clear right the choices that are before us, and the potential timelines okay these are all timelines that we are headed for pretty much, you know, all three of them. And what I'm seeing is that these two timelines that the black and white snakes are actually in the forefront so these are the easier paths to take. And they're the ones that if we continue without some kind of shift this year, especially it's it's going to take one or both of these paths right and this would be the path of nuclear annihilation at this point right because that's the path of real death and we'll be continuing the whole cycle and path of destruction like the environmental destruction that we've seen just the the human rights, travesties, enslavement, all the stuff. Okay, that's going to inevitably the end of that if you follow that path to its logical and it is a nuclear annihilation. Okay, so that path is definitely active right now. And we have to be aware of it, I feel that we have to really be able to look that in the face and say hey that is that you know we're on track for that. This other path here, the path of longing, what I'm seeing shaping up with that that's the path of transhumanism. And so, if we, you know, manage to, if we manage to avoid nuclear annihilation. The next step is transhumanism right and it's, there's a lot of reasons behind this a lot of this has to do with the law of gender. Right, but basically, the ancestral path what that does is it maintains the integrity of the DNA maintains the integrity of life and the continuity of life. Okay, so basically we're looking at, you know, are we going to support the continuity of life. Right, or are we going to go and end up on a dead end pathway. And this being, I'm really seeing this as transhumanism it is the path of longing right longing for life. And to me, this is the more dangerous of these two paths and we're on both of these paths right now, way further along on these paths that I even realized until very, very recently. Okay. So, the reason the transhumanism is actually the more dangerous is because it does appear inviting. Okay, and so moving forward, especially into 2023 and beyond we're going to be shown in fact it's already. It's already well well underway right. We're going to be given lots and lots of choices and in fact a lot of them may actually, and have been almost pretty much forced upon us and that is that are pushing humanity into that, that transhumanism path right and what transhumanism is it's it's merging man and machine it's merging man and artificial intelligence. Okay, and the reason that is, I feel, ultimately a dead end is because spiritually and the natural way that things evolve. Right. We're meant to have the spirit and the mind and the body all working together. And when. And that is, that is the created world that is direct from the creator right the creator made us as human beings, and gave us this ability to create. Okay. This is one of the superpowers of the human being. And, but with that we have free will choice right we can't be a creator being without free will. And so this is the crisis point this is the test point and this is what I'm being shown around this is that it's well beyond just humanity and what is so important to understand. Okay, and is that humans are part of the consciousness of the planet. We are the part that embodies and enacts that creative consciousness that is here to assist in bringing the consciousness of the entire to a higher level, and there's that spiritual principle as above so below right. So we do it within our own selves and as a critical mass of us attains that ability to transcend the lower shock role drives and operate instead of from the fear center to begin to operate from that enables the planet to also have a similar expansion of consciousness. And as the planet and others like her okay Gaia has brothers and sisters as our planet and others like her are able to make that transition. It assists another higher level in the universe. Okay. So this isn't just a question of will humanity survive or even will the earth survive. It is part of the rising of consciousness of the entire universe. Okay, so it there's really more happening here than than than we tend to be aware of. Okay, and so this is why I personally have a lot of hope is that I really have seen that there are other beings out there that have made this transition. We feel them to our star family, right. And that I'm being shown that it's, it's part of the maturation process of a planet is seeding it with human consciousness. And then that human consciousness matures to a point where it comes to this testing point. It's the coming of age as well as a birthing right in the coming of age of humanity. It's, there is an initiation. Okay, and it's, you know, can we pass the test of being able to handle our own creative creative ability, or can we pass the test of being given free will, and to use that free will in a way that is supportive of life. Okay, of life expanding consciousness. This is the test that we're in right now this is the initiation that we're in. And to pass that initiation. That is the going to be the birthing of the new golden age right but we got to pass through it we got to pass through the portal first that dark night of the soul portal. That's where we're at right now. I'm sure you've heard the stories of people who had, you know, we're in a really bad crash, or they were on the operating table or something and they found themselves like they there's they began to pass right and they, they come out of the body and they're taking this place, and they're given a choice, and they're told you can pass on and move on to the next life, or you can go back. And of course we don't hear from the people that choose to pass on, but those who choose to go back. They, they come back, knowing that they're going to endure some pretty tremendous pain in order to heal from that and come out. Okay, and so, but there's one thing that always drives them back. It's that sense of I haven't finished my purpose here. I have not fulfilled my mission I need to go back, because there's work left to do. Okay, and so that's where I'm feeling we're at right now we're we're at that point of choice. And there are many people on the planet that have chosen right because it's an individual choice and the aggregate of the individual choices is what makes that choice for humanity. Okay, so there can be multiple choices going on here just as there are multiple pathways, just as all three of these pathways right now could be playing out we could see these playing out over the next few years, all of them. Okay, I'm not saying it's going to be necessarily one or the other. Ultimately, in the long long picture, one of these is going to win out. Okay, and that's why the choices made right now are really going to influence the big picture and which one actually wins out in the end. Okay, so there are many people on the planet right now who have elected who are electing at soul level to just be taken away taken off. Okay, just get me out of here be me off the planet. I don't want to be here. And realize that all death is part of a cycle right it's this law of rhythm and the law of cycles. And so it's important right now to not be afraid of death will circle around back to that as well. And to recognize that those who choose to pass that is their sole choice. And we need to really, really be clear on that. Right. And it may also be big areas of the world. Okay, because once that death engine gets really going. There's a huge potential to be very widespread and huge. Okay. The other one here. Again, which is I feel more dangerous right because this is just an acute crisis. This one is a systemic issue. Right. And there are a lot of people who are going to elect for that because it's the easier choice. Because healing is hard. Healing is can be really, really painful. And if you're a healer and if you've been through any kind of healing process you know it could be freaking painful just like when you have it when your fingers get really, really cold right and numb and frozen, and they start to warm up who does that hurt hurts worse than when they're frozen. Okay, and so this transhumanism offers an alternative that feels easier it feels painless and it feels we're also going to be told it's the safe path safe. Okay, and, and so for the long term this is the short term crisis that that we have to pass right. And this is what's going to show up in the next few years are we going to actually annihilate the world, or are we going to move past that. Then should we move past that and leave at least part of the world and humanity intact. Then we're going to be dealing with this for quite a while right this pull towards transhumanism. And what that does is there are beings out there are essences out there that have failed this test but have not completely annihilated themselves and they're so damaged that all that they can do is kind of sponge off or suck off the energies of other beings and say that's why they're here on the planet in order to kind of co-opt humanity and take a ride on humanity but they do it by altering and and spending off of and and taking that so lessons right so what it ends up being it's sort of like the Borg right where where it's it's it's not a true spiritual wholeness, and that's why they, the Borg wants to keep assimilating other cultures because it has that hunger to be whole and it just can't because it's been so compromised. Okay, that's what AI and transhumanism does now I'm not saying that AI can't be used in it can you know we are technological beings but we have to learn as a species to use AI, or any other technology in a way that serves the greater consciousness and transhumanism is not that. Alright, so the third path is the path of returning to wholeness and healing, and that has to be done in the context of renewing and healing our relationship to the whole spirit of the planet and to all of the creatures on it right we have to come back into a right relationship with the universe and and and with spirit and okay so the way to do that I'll share in a little bit. Alright, so this is a pretty dire straits that we're in and that's why we're here as star seeds right that's why I incarnated it's probably why you incarnated if you're watching this much, you know, you have a warrior soul I can guarantee you right and that's why we have, you know, the star seeds, the twin flame energy. And, you know, those who carry that are here to really hold the flame of, you know, the healing spirit here on the world right now, and to assist us through this point, where we're really on the brink of, you know, brink of extinction, right. So I'm going to share a piece of a caustic guidance that I tuned into my higher self, and just asking with everything brewing right now is there really hope. What shall we be preparing ourselves for. And the answer is the firm is furnace awaits. Okay, this is a quote the furnace awaits. Remember the story of Daniels protege is in the fiery furnace, faith, got them through. Okay, so this is the first part of the transmission. And they're referring to the story of Daniel in the Bible. Daniel was the same one is I believe this, the Daniel in the lion's den. He became a higher up administrator in the administration of Nebuchadnezzar, the king Nebuchadnezzar, and the king had been obstructed to build this incredibly huge golden idol and he was requiring everybody upon penalty of death to worship this idol. When, when the music and trumpets flared. Okay. And so Daniel doesn't actually show up in this part of the story, but he had three proteges three young men that he had been mentoring. And when the trumpets blasted and everybody fell down and worship this idol, they stood there and they refused. Okay, so this act of refusal to what they knew was not aligned for their souls. Okay. And Nebuchadnezzar, when he was told of this was enraged. He's like how dare they. And of course the penalty was death and he's like fire up the furnace, seven times hotter than it normally is and throw them in. Okay, so that's what they did they this great big furnace. And this, it was so hot that the soldiers that were enlisted to throw these men into the furnace actually perished because they got so close to the flames and it just overcame them. So these young men were thrown into the furnace. And, of course, they were expected to be immediately incinerated but what happened was, when people looked in, they saw them walking around in the fiery furnace, and there were not three figures but there were four. There was an angel of God and they're with them. Okay. And so faith cut them through they were called out of the furnace they came out completely unscathed. Okay. And so spirit gave me the story to relate to you in that we're about to enter the furnace and it's going to seem hopeless. So many people are going to feel like we have no hope. And I want to share with you, there is hope. There is hope, but it's going to take a tremendous amount of faith. Okay, and faith isn't the only thing there's another thing here but let's talk about faith. First, because there's other qualities all wrapped up in faith. Okay, and the first thing is that faith, I was just my father just shared with me an amazing definition of faith. And this is from some early Christian writings, and it was that faith is a dispassionate understanding. Okay, dispassionate understanding. And by understanding, I feel it meant like light life right the all mind, the all is said to be a universal consciousness right and so the greater our understanding and knowledge of this universal consciousness. The closer we are to the divine. Right. And so faith is a combination of that understanding and a mastery of the lower emotions dispassionate. Okay, so so critically important right now. To understand the emotional field and work with the emotional the lower emotional field. This is the sacred center. Okay, thank you sacred center right now is critical. All the stuff is happening. Okay, the white snake the back snake the, you know, all the paths that take us away from it. The true sustaining path. And those are all based on pulling us off our truth through fear, right and through the lower emotions, you know, fear, anger, rage, grief, shame, all those. Okay, those emotions are meant only right to, to color attention to where things are off balance right If we have a great enough understanding to understand what's going on, then we can notice those emotions, allow them to kind of flow through. And they will help us to realize where do we need to come back into balance what needs to be addressed. Okay, but when we don't have the understanding, then it's really easy for those emotions to carry us away and carry us off path, which ultimately leads to a dead and it leads to death, basically, okay, the one way or another. And so we have to have both we have to have the understanding and we have to be able to, to master those emotions, and by master the emotions like I said, letting them fall through being aware of them, and then bringing yourself back into the heart. Okay, and into that build of knowledge. And because the heart here is the higher emotional center, we need the emotions because they're what trigger actions and to help us to, to actually take the actions that that need to be taken. Right. But when we can move from the lower emotional center into the heart. That's a critical part of faith, and that's actually the act of love and unconditional love. There's a lot of different kinds of love. Okay, so a lot of what people think of as love is what's known as arrows. It's the attachment kind of love right which is, we feel really strongly romantic love, but it can also be to other things we can have arrows for our car right we feel like really attached to that car. And that is a lower emotional expression of love. Right, but when we rise into the heart, we can access a type of love called agape right which is this beautiful God consciousness kind of love. This is fraternal love as well which is the brotherly love this is a recognizing soul to soul. Right, agape is being the highest form of love, which is an actually dispassionate kind of love it's just this emanation of incredible light. We're not cultivating those kinds of love, but dispassionately, we have to be able to, you know, feel those attachments and breathe acknowledge them and bring ourselves back to center. This is the definition of death as part of the cycle of life super important going forward here. Right, we have to be able to allow other souls to follow their chosen path without clinging to them, because if we are afraid of death in any way or sense that will bring us off the path of life. If we start fixating on death. And then we've gotten ourselves down into fear. Okay, it takes us out of faith and that's the fiery furnace. Okay, so to have faith in that fiery furnace we have to be dispassionate and learn to really work with our emotional body and bring it up into that higher emotional body. Super, super important. And that is also this power of unconditional love, because what I said it circle around to is that choosing the path of life, even though at this point it's it's going to be difficult. It's going to be a healing process and it's probably going to be painful. But we have to recognize that if you do choose path of life that is a an act of devotion. Beyond yourself and beyond even humanity is an act of service to our beautiful Mother Earth. That is the greater universe. That is this ultimate act of love or because somebody who is at that choice point where they've had that accident, and they choose to go back. It's, it's inevitably I haven't fulfilled my purpose. And my purpose is so connected with love a lot of times it's their family. They need to go back, because they have young children. No matter where they have to fulfill that mission of their family, or sometimes it's a, I meant to go back and take this experience and share it, and share this message of there's something beyond there's something more than just us. Okay, because that's what this is about. There's something more than just us, and that we're here to serve life. Okay, as humanity. And all right, so faith, and love, and hope. And the greatest of these is love, right. Okay, and then finally there's a little bit more to this Akashic message. And that is, I'm just going to quote here there is power in story. Stories you tell yourself are not just to pass the time away. They are incantations. They are magic. The act of storytelling is an act of magic, a story becomes an anchor and a scaffold for the will to climb. Story becomes truth, especially when it is repeated often. Your will is strong, insist on your power, demonstrate your power. Okay, so star seeds now is the time to really step into our power. We step into it through faith, through love, through hope. Right, and also through story. Okay, faith, love and hope are the qualities. Story is the vehicle that we use, right, and and that starts with vision. And think of it as being the author now of creation and not just a player in creation, right. We have to step into author mode, right, and we are now writing the story, we're not just playing along and, you know, I'm the hero in the story this happened and that happened and I had to react to it know where the author as well, we're both. Okay, and the author, actually, if you're a writer, you know this the author often doesn't know when they start writing what all the adventures are going to be, right, they, they, the character comes to them and they start writing and, and, you know, they sort of unfold from there it's an intuitive process. But one thing that usually will be true is that the author will have an idea of, and especially if it's a hero right that the hero will be victorious in the end, right. So, you know, you have the starting point, right, and you have the ending point and in between things unfold through intuition, but it's super important at this point right now for us star seeds to visualize. What are we moving towards, right, yes, this is a portal. And, you know, yeah, we're moving towards birthing a new golden age what does that actually look like, right. Okay, so I've been shared this before. This vision of the world is this beautiful shining blue and green globe, and it is just radiating vitality. And all you're going to feel the incredible energy coming off of this thing vitality life. This is the earth that we're creating right now right that's that's that we're in the point of moving towards this, this healed whole earth, right, every being on it happy and free, all in including humanity. This is an earth that does not include humanity. We're an integral part of it, right so visualizing that I got that placed right here my third I invite you to also have this vision of the, the beautiful future earth the one that we're birthing right now. Okay, so, story, and the story will unfold according to the strength of our vision, and our faith and our will. Okay, so vision, super important holding that love essence and the faith is super important and then the third thing is cultivating our knowledge and our wisdom, right, because that is a large part of what has been lost what has been what we've been blinded to over the past millennia is the knowledge. And the wisdom and that is actually the ancestral knowledge and wisdom we have it in our DNA. Right, if you've had any of that gnosis that you get the downloads right you get the intuition we have that within us it's in our DNA that's why the DNA is so important that's really it's being co-opted into transhumanism, right, but we need to really protect that because it is part of this whole ability to support life and the continuity of life, right. We have that knowledge within us, but it's also passed down through us through the ancestral teachings, and that is so super important so many of these teachings have been lost. But this is the time if ever there was to return to those ancestral teachings, and to begin to re-learn those because the, and I'm talking the really really indigenous native very ancient ancient ancestral teachings tell us how to live. Okay, and how the world works. The hermetic principles being part of that. The hermetic principles really tell more explain how the universe works spiritually, but the ancestral knowledge tells us how to live within in a way that's harmonious and within those laws, right. How to be a lawful how to be, how to be human, right so finding whatever is left of the ancestral wisdom and knowledge and beginning to really not just learn about it, but live it. And that is the path that is in that we have to take in order to get to this point of, you know, the path of healing. It won't be easy. It won't be easy. And, you know, it is a choice. But I believe in my heart, I believe so strongly. I have to believe right. This, this is my personal path I've been told multiple times, you're here for the reconstruction, right and so that just builds my faith in that I wouldn't be here and I wouldn't be told I'm here for the reconstruction if the reconstruction wasn't possible. Okay, so as much as this Armageddon is a path that we're hurtling along right now, I absolutely have hope and faith that we can overcome that that we can bypass that danger. I also have hope and faith that we can. We can step aside from this transhuman path as well or at least a critical amount of us to to reclaim life on earth here and bring us into a higher dimension on the planet. I absolutely have faith that we can do it. If you do too, please put that in the comment below. And I invite you to really develop your personal vision of the New Earth that we're building. I feel like that is a super, super important part of what we're here to do is really envision it's finding the new home it's finding home, right. And if you would like some assistance with that if you would like to gather together with like-minded souls to work on that vision, I will be offering a free workshop later this month. I'll be sharing a technique to help you to create your vision for 2023, as well as the overarching vision for the New Earth as well. The link is below and you can just sign up for that if you're interested. And then I wish you a wonderful new year. Happy 2023. And remember you were born to be free.
