and I fight to stop them. The last couple of nights I

could not tell if I was still here, or if I had

crossed over to the next world. I can feel my nervous

system getting re-wired or short circuited . . . it is

hard to tell which in this moment. Some of the pieces

that I have collected over the last 20 years are just

now coming together. All this makes me feel like

everything is about to change. I wonder sometimes how

we can endure the rise in intensity. But somehow we

do.

The entire month of MARCH, that surrounds the Equinox,

will be an intense emotional roller coaster month. We

will feel far more sensitive to the world. Things

might seem so dark that we wonder if we can survive

this time. Many people have been having unfounded

fears of dying or that the world is ending. Will this

shift be comfortable? NO! But will we emerge Masters

of it? Absolutely YES! We are going to get REALLY

CLEAR about what is not working any more to the point

that we will be forced to make many shifts in our

lives to continue on. The world is going to change.

Our lives are going to change. We cannot tolerate the

injustices and misuses of energy and power in this

world anymore.

This month is beginning to really look like what I

would call a Global Dark Night of the Soul. This

sounds really scary, but it is not. Dark Night of the

Soul, by nature, is deliberately transformative. It

feels like death on all levels. While we may feel

battered and worn in the transformation, realize that

our Spirits are being tempered in the process. It is

MOST IMPORTANT to surrender and trust the process.

These unrelenting and intense times help us build

spiritual strength by showing us our weak spots. It

shows us where we are becoming Masters in our lives.

This a necessary step for our ability to evolve into

the 5th world. What a great opportunity for all of US!

It will be imperative at this time of powerful energy,

coupled by the Equinox, to be helpful and cooperative

with each other. Be good to each other. Love each

other. Help each other. This is the beginning of the

new world and the birth of a new community. We are the

baby chicks struggling to get out of the egg, the

caterpillar fighting its way out of the cocoon. The

birthing process is hard but well worth the effort. We

are not going to give up. We are about to bust free of

the limitations that we have tolerated for way too

long. The time is so close now . . . the times are so

powerful . . . We are letting go of this world . . . .

This Equinox is going to be emotionally challenging

for most all of us, but it will also prepare us for

the entire year of HUGE transformation and spiritual

awakening. This awakening cannot be stopped. I bet you

have tried top stop it, so you could be comfortable,

at one time or another. It is not going to work this

time. This is a time of break downs, losses and

dissolving old paradigms on all levels. This is a time

of GREAT OPPORTUNITY. We can't build a new temple

without tearing down the old one. It is time to get

BRAVE . . . get out the spiritual work clothes and go

to work.

The two eclipses in the month of March will light up

any shadows in your back closet that you have yet to

clean out. Eclipses shine light into our own darkness.

On March 14th there is a Full Moon lunar eclipse

triggering even more emotional tidal waves.

In these most powerful times, it is very helpful to

give yourself time in a sacred place in nature. Sacred

places, like mountain tops and temple sites, hold and

support higher frequencies, so the transformation

comes MUCH EASIER and with MORE CLARITY. If you can

get away sometime in the month of March, especially

around Equinox, it will ease the transition

considerably. Also, high altitudes (over 7000 feet),

forks in rivers, water falls, the oceans (silicon

beach sand can elevate the issues), or deep deserts

can clear our heads and lighten the heart.

This is a time where our Spirits are being tested to

reach and maintain a higher level of impeccability and

personal mastery. Becoming Masters is NOT about

avoiding our feelings and emotions, but being master

over how we react to them no matter what the outer

circumstances. Not feeling our emotions is flat

lining. We are here to LIVE. So feel the issues, do

not take them personally, and rise above them and help

those around you.

I send you Love and Blessings and will again while in

the Maya Lands for Equinox.
