I personally don't pay much attention to dates given in channeled messages, many I don't connect with, some I do. One thing I know that is happening is things are on the move and much progress has been made. The energies the last couple years have been intense to say the least, this summer they went to another level, the clarity of intent and lack of many of the energies that used to hold us back is most welcome. The waves of Love have been wonderful and is unprecedented. There is most definitely is a major shift in progress, we are seeing it in the hearts of folk around the world, the air is abuzz with the anticipation.
IMHO anyone that continues to look outside their selves for someone to come out of the sky's and save them is missing the mark on whats going on, I don't understand why channeled messages would be giving exact dates, I believe that in many cases it is the channel's own own hopes and desires influencing the message. I can forgive them, for I only accept that which resonates within me, all else is a grain of sand on the beach of hopes and dreams.
We must all have discernment, this is essential. I have always agreed with and hold on to belief that what we are waiting for will come like a thief in the night. Source likes it that way and chuckles at those that try to put it's movements in a box or a timetable.
We must all remember that in truth our graduation and reunion has already happened in the place with no time where all time is happening at once.I know this not because what I have read or heard from others, it is what the Mother, myself and my family has shown me. I have been there, this is how I can tell that rest assured graduation day will be in our lifetime and it is good, the cycle of death and rebirth on this planet has/will come to an end.
