A field of yellow catches my eye and I turn to enjoy the view.  This little patch of dirt, squished between cement sidewalk and highway, is awash with color on this rainy spring morning.  I am surprised.  I drive by here every day and have never noticed.  A closer look offers an answer, these are weeds.

Relentless and persistent, dandelions thrive anywhere.  Regardless of product used, money spent or effort given, the battle seems won by the weed. 

A dear friend of mine loves them and looks forward to their emergence.  It does seem to be merely a preference instead of a fact that dandelions are an eyesore.  You’d be hard pressed to tell the difference from a distance between a field of daffodils and a field of dandelions.  One you plant, the other you pull.

We have in our midst many “weeds” that are about to be pulled.  They must be.  Like the plant, once they gain strength in an area they choke out all other life.  All resources support them.  Nothing else can thrive.  It is the way weeds work, in human and plant form.  They know nothing else but to infiltrate and dominate.

“Weeds” are not less than the rest of us.  They are not supportive however and it is time to get rid of them.  We can no longer thrive with them in our midst.  The movie bearing that name illustrates what has been happening.

This is what we are doing as a race.  We are removing those that would take over and destroy the rest.  It is necessary in order to continue.  Hating the dandelion or getting angry at it is not productive.  A clean removal of the entire plant must be accomplished.  We have discovered the root and we are digging it out.  We want a field of different flowers now.  We want to plant them ourselves rather than being overrun. 

On January 1^st, 2012 I released a video entitled “Message to Off World Beings”.  Yesterday, I got an answer.  It came in the form of an interaction with someone speaking for the “Forces of One”.  You can see what was said in the video bearing that name. Both can be found here and on the you-tube channel. 

And that’s the back story to what will most likely be my focus for the rest of this year – Making A Choice – everything else sort of pales in comparison. 

I’ve read and re-read the transcript and although I cannot point to my partner in the conversation, I can tell you how it felt.  It felt epic.  The power coming with the words sort of washed over me.  I felt them before I read them.  I’ve had to look up a few of the terms he used since then, but there is no mistaking how I felt.  I was in the presence of a force unlike any other I have known here. 

The video, “Message to Off World Beings” was released to remind us of our own power, with the added intent of contact.  It fact, I was contacted telepathically a few days after it was released.  I was woken up and spoken to; that energy was exuberant and joyful yet the voice was in my head – I doubted its authenticity. 

This contact was not in my head, it was on a you-tube channel.  Really.  You can check it out for yourself by reading the comments below the video: “Message to Off World Beings”.

This only amplifies what has always been primary – Love.  We are without a doubt far more powerful than we imagine ourselves to be.  We are deciding the fate of the planet. The choice we make this year determines the direction for all of life.

It’s really windy today.

Things are moving quickly, even the air.  The wind outside is pushing the air through the budding trees and growing grass.  Without any other options, they move.  I’ve seen a hawk this morning, coasting for a bit on these currents of air, hunting.  He is utilizing what is in front of him, expanding his opportunities, seeing places he may not always see on his usual path.  Perhaps, by riding this breeze, he can relax a bit and not work so hard to get where he is going; focusing his sights on the goal. 

The tree will grow and the hawk will eat, yet for one today’s gale force winds are a boon, while for the other they are potentially damaging.  The tree, rooted and stationary, is losing branches as I watch.  The hawk in flight is about to enjoy a hearty meal.  Let’s be hawks.

These winds of change are blowing through every facet of our world.  We can ride them or resist, the choice is always ours.  The opportunity before us is clear; fear or love.  The wind will blow regardless.  We can lose branches or rise to new heights, depending on which we choose.

A focus on love will allow us to soar.  We were meant to fly, to see beyond the ground on which we walk, to capitalize on every opportunity.  The wind is only a problem if you are unable to move.  It can be a source of power, unseen yet potent.

View these changes as that necessary force to take you where you haven’t been until now.  This is as you have planned it and the propulsion of energy has arrived right on time.  We are ready now.  Our power is enhanced with this wind and not diminished.  As a collective we will see some branches lost.  We are strengthened by this and not damaged, growing ever stronger.

This shift in consciousness is real and we have been playing at it.  We have come to a moment of choice – Is this 3D all there is or not?  Are we merely bodies living dense lives of struggle or are we eternal lights, bits of the fabric of creation, and particles of love?  What is truth?  It is time to put our money where our mouth is in a very “real” way.

This whole thing is just a trick. Act “as if” love is real, abundance surrounds you and that beauty and vitality are synonymous with you.  Understand that you are the product of every belief you hold, each word you say and the actions you take all day long.  This is the grandest of all illusions.

Magicians understand the key to a successful trick.  It is to capture the full attention of the audience.  Once you get them looking in a specific direction, you can do anything.  The fear, the money, the physical issues, the drama are all ramping up right now to grab your attention so that you’ll ignore the real truth.  What’s happening is that our negative ego is in its final scene and its doing a fine job distracting all of us.

We believe our own illusions.  A good magician is always in conscious control of the focus of the audience.  Every move he or she makes is designed to capture our focus, absorb our field of vision and get us to turn our heads so that we’ll forget anything else that is going on.  With that accomplished, anything goes and it can go on right in front of us, yet we won’t see it.

A great magician creates spectacular illusions that completely absorb the audience; they are masters at their craft.

We who are here now are the Master Magicians.  It is time for us to expose the illusion for what it is.

The sun is bright in the morning sky, a front door opens and a man reaches out to pick up the morning paper while children walk by on their way to school and birds fly overhead…a typical spring day has dawned and it is beautiful. These are the things I have come to count on; the predictable parts of my life.  In their own way they bring comfort – the world is as I expect it to be.

Yet inside brews a world that’s new.  Hopes, dreams, plans and desires all see something else.  Where is this place we dream of?  Dorothy said it was over the rainbow and current prophecy places it in the fourth or fifth dimension.  It seems always someplace else and that is suspect.  Can it not be here?

Will I wake up tomorrow and say “Aha!” I am here; no more yellow bricks or portals or spaceships or searching.  Can I do that?

I don’t think we ever get there because, well, we are always here. Rhetoric, maybe, but within these words is the key.  We will never run out of the next place to be, there is always more; More to experience, more to see, deeper to go, different ways of being.  This is good news.

The possibilities for life are infinite and you, right now, are one of them.  You exist today as this unique love particle, an emission from our creator.  You immediately began a process of self definition and expansion, and you’ll never stop.  There is no limit to where you can go or what you can become.

This next dimension has been sort of defined as a place to go and that feels like you need a ticket or you have to fill certain requirements before you are allowed on board.  We are all going, simply because we are not capable of stagnation.  Our universal plan is one of growth, progress and evolution.  We are in an eternal process of becoming.
