t is being revealed and pushed to the surface for release. So much lower vibrational energy is now surfacing, that we have been feeling enveloped in darkness. But at the same time, an incredible brilliant light of the New World is emerging. Many are sensing at a deep level that the worst is nearly over. I have been receiving continual visions of a brilliant light filled world of joyous, happy connected people. Energetically, it appears as a lifting up from a dark muck or sludge into bright light, blue sky, joy and happiness. It looks like a completely different world. It is just on the horizon.

The Concordance brought in continual light. We are now immersed in it. It is HERE. It is surrounding us. It is causing this massive cleansing. This is an incredible time. Some are experiencing this purification as intense pressure or stress (remember, we are adjusting to a much higher frequency, and we WILL adjust). I have been experiencing severe panic and anxiety attacks and feel as though I am being completely dismantled. Being extremely sensitive, psychic and very open, this has been quite a dramatic experience for me. But know that everyone will experience the ascension process in their own way, according to who they are. And know as well, that some of us signed up to go first and show the way for others. This was a "pre-birth" decision. All is in order.

Some are having bouts of emotional release and crying. Some are experiencing depression. This is all simply the darkness on its way out. As it is moving through us, we are in it, and thus, feeling it. Know that it will pass. Know that through this is the other side and it is more beautiful than you could ever imagine. Some are releasing through the dream state, with wild, vivid dreams. One of the most prevalent feelings for me has been one of a loss of sense of place. The Old ways, the Old patterns, and the Old world seem to have vanished. In going back to them, I feel I don't know where I am, and that Old energy feels extremely uncomfortable to be in.

It is NOW all about creating the New. My own personal survival has been dependent upon continually focusing on a New World, a new higher way of being. We need to reach for visions of a world that we have not yet experienced. We need to focus on our most joyous imaginings.....not what we feel was possible to create in the past, and not what we have EVER experienced before in this lifetime. We must go BEYOND. Remember, we are now in the fifth dimension. We can create as never before. We have been creating and living as though we are still in the third dimension. And at the same time, our old beliefs and how we have been vibrating in old lower vibrational patterns, are creating what is on the outside as well.

The ascension process is taking substantial amounts of fuel. For the past 18 months, I have been experiencing what feels like attacks of low blood sugar. With this recent phase of intense cleansing, I even have to get up in the night to eat. Unusually slender for all of my 49 years, since June, I have gone from my normal 118 lbs. to my current 138 lbs. Getting used to a new body has been an adjustment, but knowing it is just part of the process has given me much more acceptance of it. Many will begin feeling a loss of identity. We are rapidly losing our defense patterns and behaviors we had developed for survival in the Old World. They cannot survive in the New, and remember, they will not be needed here. The good news is that, as I have mentioned many times before, we will retain the "gold nugget" of who we are.....our gifts and talents, our passions, our contributions we came to make. As all this old identity falls away, more and more of our true divine selves are beginning to emerge. As it is surely dying, the ego becomes afraid and this can manifest as fear. Know that the divine you is being unveiled and is here to stay! The purity of our soul's emerging is becoming predominant now. We are beginning to fully embody our greatest light.

I recently read an incredible article by Celia Fenn and Archangel Michael (which you can access with her permission at www.starchild.co.za/crisis.html ). She describes in detail the many symptoms we are experiencing relating to the ascension process. It brought great validation and comfort for me, and hopefully will for you as well. As I told her, "I am having concerns that I might not survive the ascension process", she assured me that I would, and that there IS an end. And now I can assure you of the same.

In looking at the ascension process from a higher dimension, much is clear. There are no mistakes here. All is in divine right order. As much as I feel I am suffering at times, I can also see very clearly that I am completely being taken care of and watched over. I have been placed in situations to allow this miraculous transformation to occur. It is almost as if a place and time has been set aside specifically for me to experience this. I can also see that I will be a very different being after going through this process. As for all of us, a butterfly is emerging from the cocoon. We are all becoming BUTTERFLIES. It is a beautiful sight which brings tears to my eyes.

Some are creating situations that are supporting them in creating balance. Even though we are evolving through our dramas, and they are just a scene in a script, I for one, think they feel very real. We are human beings with feelings and emotions. We may think we have created something we would never want, but the outcome may be far greater than we could have ever consciously created. Yes, our souls are guiding our journey. We are being stretched and cleansed by way of these dramas. We are greatly loved and divinely protected through this time of transition. My daughter who is due to have a new little being in the spring, just received some surprising news. She is all about girls, she is most comfortable with them, relates well, comes from a family of single independent women, and so on. She has predominantly experienced the feminine energy in her life. I sensed feminine energy around our new little being as well, and so, we were of course resigned and thrilled to be having another girl.....after all, we were so used to girls! Well.....much to our complete surprise, as we were all present at the ultrasound, our new little being turned out to be a BOY! We were shocked. (But of course, my son-in-law was ecstatic.....) My daughter could absolutely not relate to having a boy, and felt something must be terribly wrong and there must be some "mistake". But here is the good news. This little boy is an amazing being and absolutely not like any human being I have ever encountered. He embodies the masculine and feminine in perfect balance. He is all about LOVE. He is an incredible cuddler and extremely affectionate. He is here to bring people together. His father is African American and his mother is fair haired and blue eyed. Not only will he bridge the races as his sister has also come to do, but he will be a bridge for all humans and he will do it through love. The thrill his father has that he is male will bring the two of them together. He will model to his father the new male. He will also bring together even more closely his father and mother. He just LOVES. He is a peacemaker and a lover. And in this, my daughter (and I) will experience the new male, and she in turn will be more open to male energy. All is perfect. And another example of something far better than we could have ever imagined on our own. And the name they had chosen can be used for a male or a female, so they didn't even need to change it! Now, we are more excited about having a boy than we were about having a girl.....The earth is balancing as well. Here in Asheville we have experienced unusual days of 73 degree temperatures, and then a sudden drop to a 23 degree high for several days. These extremes are instances of polar opposites striving for balance.

Intent is very powerful now. Very powerful. We are existing in a frequency of near immediate manifestation. We have not been trained to live in this higher frequency. We will be learning to train our minds.....to become aware of our thoughts. While in the desperate throws of a panic attack, I made an appointment with my doctor for some medication. I was desperate for some relief, and all the alternatives I had been using were making little bits of progress, but barely. After I returned home from the doctor, I phoned my mother. She remarked at how much better I sounded, and how quickly the medication must have worked. I hadn't taken any medication! The power of my intent that there would be relief had created it completely, with no medication. I am currently experimenting with using my intent and examining by beliefs, to make this ascension process a completely joyful one for me in all ways. After all, we are the masters, aren't we?

My sister-in-law and dear friend uses her intent on a daily basis. She intends what her day will look like, she intends all joy and ease when she travels, and she frequently plays a game. She makes a declaration that the universe show her that all is lining up for her. As proof, she asks to be shown a car with three 7's in the license plate. Immediately, a car will drive by with three 7's. She then asks for three 4's. Immediately she will see a car with three 4's. This occurs without exception. She can always manifest the perfect parking place in a crowded parking lot. Why not use our new abilities to create the world as we want it? Why not continually envision our grandest scenario, our most passionate desire? Can we see past the "falling away" and into what is being revealed? What is really here now? Yes, we are in the fifth dimension. We have arrived. Now, we need only create it.

I have included below a list of "ascension symptoms" recently sent to me by Loren and Diane Mickelson. May they bring you comfort and reassurance in the times to come.

THE SHAUMBRA SYMPTOMS Twelve Signs of Your Awakening Divinity

By Geoffrey Hoppe and Tobias

1. Body aches and pains, especially in the neck, shoulder and back. This is the result of intense changes at your DNA level as the "Christ seed" awakens within. This too shall pass.

2. Feeling of deep inner sadness for no apparent reason. You are releasing your past (this lifetime and others) and this causes the feeling of sadness. This is similar to the experience of moving from a house where you lived in for many, many years into a new house. As much as you want to move into the new house, there is a sadness of leaving behind the memories, energy and experiences of the old house. This too shall pass.

3. Crying for no apparent reason. Similar to #2 above. It's good and healthy to let the tears flow. It helps to release the old energy within. This too shall pass.

4. Sudden change in job or career. A very common symptom. As you change, things around you will change as well. Don't worry about finding the "perfect" job or career right now. This too shall pass. You're in transition, and you may make several job changes before you settle into one that fits your passion.

5. Withdrawal from family relationships. You are connected to your biological family via old karma. When you get off the karmic cycle, the bonds of the old relationships are released. It will appear as though you are drifting away from your family and friends. This too shall pass. After a period of time, you may develop a new relationship with them if it is appropriate. However, the relationship will be based in the new energy without the karmic attachments.

6. Unusual sleep patterns. It's likely that you'll awaken many nights between 2:00 to 4:00 a.m. There's a lot of work going on within you, and it often causes you to wake up for a "breather." Not to worry. If you can't go back to sleep, get up and do something rather than lay in bed and worry about humanly things. This too shall pass.

7. Intense dreams. These might include war and battle dreams, chase dreams or monster dreams. You are literally releasing the old energy within, and these energies of the past are often symbolized as wars, running to escape and boogeyman. This too shall pass.

8. Physical disorientation. At times you'll feel very ungrounded. You'll be "spatially challenged" with the feeling like you can't put two feet on the ground or that you're walking between two worlds. As your consciousness transitions into the new energy, your body sometimes lags behind. Spend more time in nature to help ground the new energy within. This too shall pass.

9. Increased "self talk." You'll find yourself talking to your Self more often. You'll suddenly realize you've been chattering away with yourself for the past 30 minutes. There is a new level of communication taking place within your being, and you're experiencing the tip of the iceberg with the self talk. The conversations will increase, and they will become more fluid, more coherent and more insightful. You're not going crazy, you're just Shaumbra moving into the new energy.

10. Feelings of loneliness, even when in the company of others. You may feel alone and removed from others. You may feel the desire to "flee" groups and crowds. As Shaumbra, you are walking a sacred and lonely path. As much as the feelings of loneliness cause you anxiety, it is difficult to relate to others at this time. The feelings of loneliness are also associated with the fact that your Guides have departed. They have been with you on all of your journeys in all of your lifetimes. It was time for them to back away so you could fill your space with your own divinity. This too shall pass. The void within will be filled with the love and energy of your own Christ consciousness.

11. Loss of passion. You may feel totally disimpassioned, with little or no desire to do anything. That's okay, and it's just part of the process. Take this time to "do no-thing." Don't fight yourself on this, because this too shall pass. It's similar to rebooting a computer. You need to shut down for a brief period of time in order to load the sophisticated new software, or in this case, the new Christ-seed energy.

12. A deep longing to go Home. This is perhaps the most difficult and challenging of any of the conditions. You may experience a deep and overwhelming desire to leave the planet and return to Home. This is not a "suicidal" feeling. It is not based in anger or frustration. You don't want to make a big deal of it or cause drama for yourself or others. There is a quiet part of you that wants to go Home. The root cause for this is quite simple. You have completed your karmic cycles. You have completed your contract for this lifetime. You are ready to begin a new lifetime while still in this physical body.

During this transition process, you have inner remembrances of what it is like to be on the other side. Are you ready to enlist for another tour of duty here on Earth? Are you ready to take on the challenges of moving into the New Energy? Yes, indeed, you could go Home right now. But you've come this far, and after many, many lifetimes it would be a shame to leave before the end of the movie. Besides, Spirit needs you here to help others transition into the new energy. They will need a human guide, just like you, who has taken the journey from the old energy into the new. The path you're walking right now provides the experiences to enable you to become a Teacher of the New Divine Human. As lonely and dark as your journey can be at times, remember that you are never alone.
