In Micheila’s most recent public channeling event, the Pleiadians spoke of a pole shift within the crystalline core of the earth taking place mid-2018. As if many of us weren’t already experiencing intense vibrational shifts in our physical material, the impact of this event may be causing us to feel even more instability in the body. The Pleiadian Collective shares detailed information about the upcoming pole shift and provides some tools to help us maintain our vibration and physical balance as these adjustments take place.

As a human race you have experienced a variety of significant planetary shifts causing historic information to become accessible and consciousness to rise within a short period of time. These planetary or pole shifts are inevitable as humanity continues to expand; because as earth beings, you are both affecting the earth and receiving the effects of the earth’s expansion.

The earth’s magnetic or crystalline core is made up of all things. Many interdimensional beings and races held a singular intention to create a new heavenly body. The resulting energy that flowed to Gaia to create her crystalline core was a multi-dimensional intention of many races desiring to expand the universe. Your earth’s poles are magnetizing the energy of the crystalline core. When pole reversals take place, there are significant changes happening within the crystalline core, drawing upon this multi-dimensional information.  

The crystalline core connects to the grid and there are portals that exist in the grid. When the human consciousness finds itself matching a potential timeline of destruction that could be detrimental to the earth or the universe, the Council of Light operates through the portals to activate the earth’s crystalline core. This activity spikes large raises in consciousness designed to divert humanity from destruction by matching more positive outcomes.

As the poles are magnetized to receive these raises in frequency, they distribute new information through earth’s grid lines, which then flows through the meridians of your singular being. The crystalline core is a large magnetic structure with the ability to be activated and draw new multi-dimensional information through Gaia and into the poles to be distributed. And as human beings connected to the earth, you receive that information electromagnetically.

Pole shifts have taken place throughout history. They are significant because magnetics will change, meaning information will be coming in from a different source, dimension or direction. They can also become the impetus for earth to change her location within the universe. This is necessary for Mother Earth to evolve and very similar to the activation of your own multidimensional or crystalline DNA. The earth also has DNA; and pole reversals allow energetic access within her DNA and record that amplifies human experience. So every time this takes place what you can be sure of is that Mother Earth is assimilating new DNA strands and activating herself to offer new information. The solar frequencies come to assist your integration of this new information into your soul expression.

What many of you relate to in history is a physical reversal of the poles and the catastrophic events that have followed. This is a manifestation of the above described activity through a denser timeline or experience that is physically focused. You see, as humans, your consciousness is also affecting this process. You define every experience through your perception and how you have evolved non-physically. To that end, all pole shifts are not created equally. Some in your human past manifested as strong physical potentials to clear and rebirth aspects of your planet that were connected to creative energies not serving humanity or the universe.

What you are walking into as a human race in 2018 is a pole reversal that is energetic in nature to accompany your shift in consciousness and accentuate your ability to receive and retain multi-dimensional information. In other words, you are walking into a time of great change that is vibrational, and this pole shift within the core of Mother Earth comes to compliment your need for new, multi-dimensional information specifically related to your planet’s history. It is informational, enhancing your need for disclosure and strengthening the relationship between physical and non-physical.  

What we have noticed is that when the earth’s magnetic field becomes unstable, meaning that a vibrational shift is inevitable, you have already set in motion a variety of important experiences that align to your physical realities. You, as singular beings, must and will continue to experience this within your singular perception or linear timeline. One of the starkest results of these times of change is the way in which your physical material, the body, adapts to energy.

Humanity is on the cusp of another great realignment of the poles. According to vibrational potentials we see running in your collective energy, we anticipate that April-May 2018 will be a significant linear time on your planet when this shift may take place. You are already feeling the buildup of this vibrational shift in your physical material.

There are energy centers within the physical body that respond to the electromagnetic fields of mother earth. They are tied together to harmonize and balance to the planet as earth bound humans and they hold you within a relationship to your collective energy. These centers are the first receivers of electromagnetic information and they hold a significant relationship to your central nervous system and interior harmonic rhythms or hormones. The hormonal secretions are an intricate energetic system of fluids that allow the physical anatomy, emotional body and mental body to remain in harmony. What we believe is that your spiritual essence is embedded within this physical anatomic system. Yet, if you understand the relationship between the earth and your hormonal balance, you will see why many of you who are on the leading edge of conscious awakening are experiencing some form of physical imbalance at the moment.

The earth always has been and still remains your central nervous system. You are tied to the earth structure through the chakras; and the chakras plug through the anatomical structure of Gaia to regulate themselves to her and all beings. This is a critical relationship when you think of vibration. Not only does your heart resonate with the Schumann Frequency or field of earthly potential, but also your chakras allow a communication to take place between you, earth and other beings that is non-physical. This relationship or communication has become heightened most recently and in the past several years.

When you are vibrating in bliss, love or peace, the hormonal responses in the body exchange a vibration with your collective. This process is not only allowing you to affect collective creation through your free will, but is also offering a higher connection to Source through your singular experience. The reason for this connection is that you are also a receiver. So when you vibrate at these speeds and the hormonal secretions are offering a frequency of love, you are co-conspiring with your human race to commingle with those aspects of reality that match love.

In some ways, we consider the human race a buffer between mother earth and the universal field. You agreed to this when you came. Whatever vibration mother earth was offering would be accessed, evaluated and recalibrated by you. In other words, your empathic nature was meant to become a tool for modifying the collective vibration. But your empathic nature has been turned on you. Through time, you been taught only to absorb her vibration into your singular experience. This is why many of you are now feeling the energetic effects of the upcoming pole shift in your physical bodies.

Your physical bodies are absorbing an uprising of density, along with access to new and higher dimensional information. When the poles shift positions on the earth, there is a preparatory process undergone which includes human alignment through earth to the new location of its energy centers. Your energy centers must also adapt because if the earth shifts, you must shift, recalibrating your fields to a new speed or location. So to break this down, your physical material, manifested in a different speed of vibration is attempting to release and heal itself to adapt to this upcoming shift. The planetary alignments have assisted this release, bringing emotional density and historic patterns to the surface that are most related to your creative blocks. At the same time, as many humans are undergoing physical adjustments, they are also receiving the empathic announcement of adjustments within others. The heightened sensitivity you all have right now to each other is a true gift, but you are still working out how to regulate and utilize this telepathic communication to serve yourselves and others.

To come to peace with these adjustments, we take you back to electromagnetics, energy centers and rhythms. These three areas are the most significant to focus on, void of any singular definition, diagnosis or condition. The specific ailments may vary widely because your unique energetic and physical structure must define them as such. But ultimately we recommend accessing the following tools to find peace and amplify your vibration beyond the instability within the period of these earth shifts which we currently see as happening between now and mid-May.

Some of the best tools you have manifested on your planet to access your energy centers, electromagnetic fields and rhythms are ancient tools of meditation, acupuncture, toning, human touch, massage or sexual intercourse and sound or hertz frequencies.  We recommend these practices because they directly affect the neurological centers in the brain that correlate to hormonal activity which overrides stress. Ultimately the stress that you are carrying is a sound harmonic that is imbalanced in its relationship to earth. So any practice of accessing the meridians in the body through acupuncture or massage will align you back within yourself. We know this sounds counterproductive at the moment, but as the poles are shifting, earth will again become instable in her rhythms. So it is important that you maintain your own rhythms while this process is undergone. Sexual partnerships or coupling allows for the hormonal balance to also be harmonized when the partnership is in alignment with the highest intentions or a love based frequency. And finally, seeking out sound healing offers a unique opportunity for erratic neurologic patterns to become recalibrated. Hertz frequencies may also be selected that resonate most with your unique structure, however we suggest those that amplify the hormones most closely related to joy and bliss or nature.

Energy must move freely throughout all nature.Every organism thrives when energy is moving within its body, driving metabolism, catabolism, hormone synthesis, cellular generation and phagocytosis, circulation, etc. The myriad of inter-dependent body functions is driven by an energy the Chinese simply call Chi.

Chi is essentially sunlight. Chi is captured in cells of living organisms and drives the formation of single-celled and differentiated bodies. Chi is the driver of life and its evolution.

The Chinese Masters of olden times observed this vital flow and recognized that all health deficiencies arise when Chi is blocked or stalled in its free flowing movement. When this occurs, “Chi Stagnation” follows, and can form the basis of all diseases. Examples are atherosclerosis, cirrhosis and diverticulitis. In women, endometriosis, menstrual cramping and other blood-cycle irregularities, cysts and masses, hormone imbalances and bone degeneration can result from Chi stagnation.

In discussing Women’s health, let’s start with hormone synthesis. In post-adolescent humans, hormone synthesis is heavily affected and driven by sexual impulses. Indeed, the pituitary gland, which drives our fertility cycles, including the ovular and luteal phases of the female menstrual cycle, is located in the brain between the eyes. What we envision and cognate greatly affects the pituitary release of gonadotropic hormones. Thus, what we’re thinking is interconnected with our sexuality. This is called the “Fertility Dance”, which, like it or not, we are designed to engage in.

In a healthy society, this interaction would be vibrant and free, but not necessarily promiscuous. Healthy men and women would interact with an excitement based on reverence and respect. I have actually visited cities in Northern China where people are healthy and beautiful, and this dance was wonderful to behold. I also noticed that there appeared to be no sexual perversion in these cities; red light districts, lewd dressing and advertising that exploited women’s bodies was apparently absent. The people in these regions took a lot of tonic herbs. The men were handsome and masculine and the women were incredibly voluptuous; and this created a happy society.

Our sexuality is affected by our health. In places where people are unhealthy, as in America, people are sexually frustrated and disoriented. This causes a cutoff of the vibrance of the fertility dance, and many people do not enjoy sexual experiences. It’s too dangerous for many reasons including impregnation, STD’s, vaginal infections, and a general lack of truth and honesty in communication. These can provide very good reasons for many women to shut down those energies and drives. It is very unfortunate that this is the reality for many women, and I understand quite well why they should feel this way.

But again, I must reiterate that the body is a sexual mechanism. We may wish to control and suppress sexual desires, but the body may react in ways that we don’t intend. When inquiring, I find that many women who have developed ovarian cysts do not have orgasms. Women need to have orgasms. Luckily, this can be done in lieu of the presence of a lover or husband, and if her partner does not know the importance of satisfying her orgasmic needs, she should teach him. In any case, women need to induce orgasms on a fairly regular basis, peaking at the time around ovulation, when she could have two each day.

Uterus

Ovulation occurs at the middle of the monthly moon-blood cycle. Luteinizing hormones are released from the pituitary gland, which warm the body about 1 degree. The extra warmth helps trigger the release of eggs from the ovaries. The eggs rest at the top of the fallopian tubes, awaiting sperm to reach them. The rupture site at the ovary, called the corpus luteum, forms the portal by which progesterone, the master female fertility hormone, is released in higher proportions into the bloodstream. During this time, women’s beauty is heightened. Their faces glow and hair seems thicker. The body warms about 1 degree, and she suddenly wants to go dancing!

When the eggs are not inseminated, they die and are removed from the body. The uterus sheds the lining of blood on its walls, which accumulated prior to ovulation (If impregnation occurs, this blood lining begins to form the placenta).

This procession of hormones and fertility cycles is very important for women’s health, and if shut down, Chi stagnation can occur in the ovarian area. The female body is designed to hold masses, and the pelvic bones are designed to expand outward to the sides. Women’s bodies are acclimated to the formation of masses in the “lower jiao.”

Without nurturing the body’s sexual forces, the associated glands and organs receive insufficient stimulation, and can begin to experience sluggishness and possibly signs of atrophy. Therefore, I recommend that women have regular orgasms. This does not in any way deplete women of vitality (men should refrain from excessive semen release).  When a woman has an orgasm, she does not lose eggs, but the rich hormonal fluids and passageways of fertility are lubricated and flushed. Just like any automobile, the engine needs to occasionally run or it will freeze up. Female orgasm is a warming flush of the reproductive system. When these hormones are released into the blood stream, anti-ageing hormones like SOD are also stimulated, which aids women in maintaining a youthful, vibrant physique and skin.

Stress

Stress effects hormone synthesis, and can particularly disrupt the relationship of progesterone and estrogen, potentially causing a proportionate rise in estrogens. Estrogen is prominent in the preparation of the eggs. When a woman has undergone a painful separation, the stress will be linked to the sexual fluids, hormones and forces; while the stress factors can cause a depletion of progesterone through cross-synthesis into adrenal defense hormones (androgens). Women are not designed to endure consistent long-term stresses and are supposed to feel protected by men.

Now we see the conundrum created in our sexually dysfunctional society. If progesterone is usurped by stress reactions, estrogen synthesis may be disrupted, as estrogen is synthesized from progesterone. When the sexual pathways are not properly exercised, nurtured and satisfied, unregulated estrogen may contribute to the creation of masses of blocked Chi. As well, when the body does not experience orgasms, the estrogen may assist to create masses, mimicking pregnancy. The female body is designed to hold masses. I believe that ovarian cysts and endometriosis are examples of women’s bodies attempting to mimic pregnancy.

Breasts

Excess estrogen may also build up in the breasts, as the mammary glands hold fats. Estrogens are fat-soluble hormones which bind easily with fatty cells such as those in the mammary glands.  The presence of these may also include zeno-estrogens that enter the body via breathing toxic air, absorbing through skin and ingestion of petrochemical pollutants, plastics and man-made molecules that are structured similarly to estrogen. These zeno-estrogenic molecules can be absorbed into cellular estrogen receptor sites, where they do not act as regular estrogens and are harder to remove from the cell’s receptor site and from the body. The presence of these molecules, combined with insufficient progesterone/estrogen synthesis relationship, can result in estrogen dominant masses developing in the mammary glands.

The Chinese medical system uses various herbs documented to “break up Chi stagnation.” These include red and white peony root (Bai Shao) and red peony root, licorice root (Gan Cao) Moutan (Mou Tan) and raw rehmannia (Sheng Di Huang).

Blood

Chi is carried in the blood. Therefore, Chi must be fortified so the blood will move freely. Poor, nutrient-deficient diets may cause the blood to be depleted of vital Chi, resulting in less iron uptake, hemoglobin and ATP production. The blood can be dark and thick, which can cause Chi stagnation in the uterus as the blood builds there during the ovular phase. After ovulation, if the body does not have sufficient progesterone rise, the body temperature may remain one degree under the normal 89.6 degrees. This continued coldness will cause more blood to “trickle down” into the uterine cavity, and coupled with its dark, thick sluggishness, will cause menstrual cramping with associated mental depression, and painful, excessive menstrual periods. Blood masses can result, along with symptoms of endometriosis. My book Raw Chi discusses blood and Chi in detail.

The Chinese medical system utilizes herbs that are documented to help break up Chi stagnation in the blood. These include Carthamus (Hong Hua), Persica, (Taoren), Dang Gui (angelica sinensis), Salvia miltiorrhiza (dan shen), and Ligusticum (gao ben).

Overcoming stress

Stress is a major factor in the disruption of hormone synthesis. One answer to help remedy these potential dangers is to overcome stress. Of course, this is not easily done in our present world where continual stresses are an inevitable part of our daily lives. When we cannot adapt to constant stress, our adrenals experience burnout affecting other hormone synthesis. But it is possible to enhance our health so that the typical stress triggers don’t affect us as deeply.  

Fortunately, nature has provided us with plants that can help us adapt to stress. Plants aptly described as “adaptogens” contain genetics and phyto-chemistry that help regulate our circadian rhythms and support the adrenals. These plants, first documented in Russia in 1947, include rhodiola (rosea, crenulata, sacra), gynostemma (jiao gu lan), astragalus, (Huang Chi), cordyceps (Chinensis), reishi (ganoderma lucidum), chaga fungus, and other tonic herbs from the Chinese Materia Medica.

Often in our singular perception, we do not recognize the significant relationship and cosmic interplay between all things. Deep within our genetic code, we were designed to utilize vibrational exchange to expand the universe for the benefit of all things. This vibrational connection becomes the relationship between our natural resources, the earth and our cosmic families. Does the destruction that we see playing out on our planet have its roots in the way we offer and receive vibrational feedback from one another? The way in which we respond to the vibrational offering of others may hold more significance that we thought. The Pleiadians share insight about the destruction of the earth’s natural resources and our human ability to become stewards of receiving.

In the beginning, when the earth chose to merge with the One, there was an announcement to all Beings that a new time space reality was born. Just as you are a fragmented energy of Source, Gaia too has expanded from the God particle to offer herself as a structural, physical entity. And many came. Many who were also interested and invested in this expansion heralded her calling. They desired to comingle their DNA, their abundance and their resources to enhance their race. You may wonder how offering these things to earth and humanity would further their expansion. You see, all things that are energetically exchanged feed into themselves, creating new patterns of energy. Let us break this down in a way you might understand.

When you offer someone a compliment, there is an energetic exchange. There are words you are using, sounds, gestures and emotions. All of these things combine to create a frequency. This frequency, when directed at another, offered or exchanged, has an effect on the receiver. The receiver may blush in embarrassment, smile in gratitude or reject the compliment all together. Regardless of their reaction to your offering, there is feedback… another offering. So now, the one offering becomes the receiver, and based on the reaction, also receives a frequency. As this frequency comes back to the original offeror of vibration, it has the capacity to expand or contract the recipient. This is how exchange works. This is why we say, you are all connected by vibration or consciousness, because in any one moment you are both a receiver and offeror of vibration that is being exchanged at some level of human interaction.

Now when your earth’s natural resources were seeded, they were offered to her in many forms and from many receivers all having a connection to their offering. Take a simple flower such as a rose, for example. Where did this rose come from? You can retrace its history through time, but most likely you will find it was created as a combination of other forms of life. Where did those forms of life come from? Do you know the source?

Perhaps a rose was the result of a mixing of genetics from two original plants to the earth’s consciousness. And perhaps both of those plants were different genetics – one seeded here from Arcturus, one from Atlantis. As these divine genomes combine, they now interact with humans in a new form. However, that form holds the original imprints of each plant’s divine genome. As the rose now takes shape and form, it offers something back to humanity – a beautiful color, a scent and healing properties. When humanity uses the rose in these ways, they are now the receiver of not just an earthly rose, but the vibrational imprints of Arcturus and Atlantis. And as humanity receives these imprints, it calibrates its DNA to also remember its Arcturian and Atlanteans history. In doing so, a valuable connection is made. Honoring your divine genome as earth bound universal citizens forges a connection that cannot be unbroken; just forgotten, resisted or lost. And this is your history. You are not just human and not alone here on this planet. You are receivers of and offerors of a valuable exchange.

The reason we bring this to your attention now is that much of your multi-dimensional resources are being destroyed or neglected. And just as if the response to that compliment was hurtful, this neglect is being felt by your cosmic families. What is interesting to note is that much of this destruction is coming from the misuse of vibration, energy, and exchange between humans. The fires you see burning on your planet are the fires you have blazing inside of you – the anger, fear and sadness of what you have received in response to your offering. We ask you to consider this. If you were to offer more vibration that was designed to receive an aligned reply, wouldn’t that enable humanity to live more in harmony with its own DNA, race and planet? We believe that this becomes a critical starting point to resolve further destruction that not only affects your planet, but all things throughout the universe.

The following is an excerpt from a channeled book written by Micheila Sheldan. This vibrational work is still in process and being downloaded through the Pleiadians to assist humanity in strengthening their collective energy and raising consciousness. Much of the information in this larger body of work is focused on the reptilian collective, their access of the human structure and effects on our planet.  

This piece is expanding on the concept of two energetic grids now present upon the earth that are the basis for the splitting of timelines we are experiencing right now. The old grid is based in material, physical, mental or reptilian energy. It promotes singularity and has been segmented from the universal time grid, a web of consciousness that connects all planets and star systems in the universe.The old grid was disconnected from universal support by the Council of Light. The Council recognized the catastrophic timeline potentials that were being created in the old grid and the ability they held to affect other races throughout the universe. The old grid is a karmic loop that keeps humanity revisiting history for the purpose of expanding it, without the ability to access the higher self or collective support to transmute it. The old grid operates in service to self.

The new grid system evolved as the human consciousness and planet has raised its vibration. It activates universal support, ancient timelines and future expansion. It connects strongly to the universal time grid and has recently stabilized and raised the vibration of Mother Earth and all humans. It contains timelines that are vibrating in collective energy or service to humanity and matches historic information to assist our race. Many would refer to this grid as earth’s 5^th dimensional timeline, but it has the capability to take humanity beyond this dimension, restore the planet and restructure hierarchies that have restricted our freedoms. The new grid system is the only exit point or means for the reptilian consciousness to leave the earth and reintegrate into their race, restoring the human structure to its organic state.   

Channeled through Micheila Sheldan

In the old grid system, the soul vibration became the focal point of all activity. It evolved this way as the reptilian consciousness began to access the human mind. And as you stayed focused in your soul container, you became easily disengaged from the rest of your race, planet and universe. This grid is disconnected from universal support not only because it was directed by the Council, but also because your own consciousness directed it to be this way. This is how grid energy manifests and patterns itself, through the dominant vibration and consciousness of those organisms that make up its components.

Both the old and the new grid structures can be considered portals. Every time a pattern is running somewhere in the universe, it becomes an access point for information. Even your own human singular structure contains portals. These portals are formed by you and access information according to their intention. There are two very different examples of this we wish to share.

Grids, Patterns and Portals

At the cellular level, you harmonize as a frequency to grids and patterns. Think of sacred geometry here. You are always creating a unique pattern with your energy that connects throughout the universe. So when you are directing your energy unconsciously, especially through the mind, your cellular structure will form a strong pattern that connects with collective imprints. This is how cancer forms in the human body, for example. A group of cellular organisms form a strong pattern that matches something in the collective field. This information, cancer, was defined and created by humanity to also contain a specific energetic pattern. Your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, perceptions and intentions of the now growing cellular energy in your body enhance the pattern to become a strong portal or two way magnet for information. The consciousness within your body now matches a strong pattern of energy that exists in the collective time space reality and a timeline is born. We call this pattern a portal because energy is exchanged. You have a message within the body that is matched and shared with a communication outside of the body, such that the two take on a new meaning within the body. It is a hybridization of information of sorts. This is what happens on a grander scale in universal portals.

You also hold beneficial portals or cellular consciousness that contains information to match communication outside of the body. This is how channeling or quantum healing takes place. The cellular structure is aligned in a pattern, such as through meditation, that matches something in the collective or universal field and information is exchanged. A new patterning takes place; and you in your human structure now have the ability to interpret this new information, creating a new timeline. This can also happen with the example of disease above and often how healing take place when the consciousness or vibration rises.

This is ultimately what is taking place right now on your planet to shift humanity and the reptilian consciousness present on your planet into a new reality. But we wish to explain in detail what will happen with the reptilian consciousness, as it now has an opportunity to leave your planet and become re-integrated with its own race.

Reptilian Re-integration

The old grid is a loop or pattern that repeats itself. We are generalizing here, but of course with no ability to match communication off planet you can see the potential to replay timelines and stay energetically aligned with karmic or soul container vibrations. (The soul container is not only a karmic vibration, but it is a focus on the singular structure which is necessary for the consciousness to evolve. It is important that we clarify this such that you are not interpreting the soul vibration as a lower or negative energy.)

If the reptilian consciousness were not to re-pattern their energy, they would remain on earth. The reason for this is that they are now an integrated part of your human consciousness. They are hybridized and to a degree, you are as well. With many humans vibrating strongly in their reptilian DNA, you have shifted your divine genome to focus in a similar structure that allows them to create, with a dominant focus on the mind. So, if the reptilians were to continue their actions with no change in the patterns on earth, they would use the old grid energy as a portal to continue to expand and connect with earthly information, creating in alignment with their own agenda, which is ultimately creating through you. Consequently, this reptilian consciousness must ascend with humanity enabling them to use the new grid or portal to exit your planet and become reintegrated with their race.

Reptilian Karma and Universal Law

We realize that some of you believe this is not fair. Why should a race of beings that brought earth and humanity to such a lower state of existence be able to ascend and leave us here to clean up the mess that they ultimately created? Here are some factors to consider when you ask this question.

First, humanity has free will. There are many things that affect your ability to choose each day and universal law supports this choosing. Ultimately, regardless of whether this consciousness inhabited your planet or not, there have been many timelines that humans have created that have contributed to the environment you find yourself in today. So the question is who is responsible? Should this reptilian consciousness and the humans most aligned with them who have carried out their energetic communication be punished for their actions? This is where we must go back to the energetic container analogy to fully explain karma and the way it works in other dimensional realities.

Karma is an energy of free will. It must be because you, as a collective entity, choose it. When you travel through time intending to fragment your soul into a human body, you decide how you will hold, experience and integrate karmic energies; you being the One. So humanity cannot decide as a race how this reptilian consciousness will experience its karma, only the One can. In order to decide the fate of this reptilian consciousness, they must leave this timeline and become re-integrated with the One. There is a process through which we see this taking place that is important to explain.

You are looking at some humans on your planet as reptilians who must be punished through human means for their actions. We consider that humans have been accessed by a consciousness that manipulated and hybridized their DNA. So when they carried out these actions, they were not human as defined by natural or universal law. The karma of their actions must be determined in a different plane of reality. And this is why the reptilian consciousness must ascend with you. The hybridization of the DNA will then be transformed again through re-patterning of energy back to its original state or beyond.

Whistleblowers, Disclosure and Ascension

The vibrational potentials on your planet show that this is already happening. One example of this is the whistleblowers you see on your planet coming forward to release information. The reason that they are doing this ultimately lies within the ascension of the human race, planet and their own DNA. When they initiate these actions, they are actually walking two separate timelines at once; they are splitting their reality such that the human experience can become the focal point of their manifestations and the reptilian experience becomes an energy of the past. In this moment, a new pattern or timeline must be born and it cannot match the old grid. Every time someone in your government comes forward, it is because they are patterned to match new grid energy. Every time disclosure happens on your planet, humanity can be assured it is using the portals now available in the new grid to exchange information.

The reptilian consciousness will ascend with the human race to the point that they use the new grid portal to re-enter their own original time space reality. There is a larger, benevolent reptilian consciousness that anticipates this with great joy. They hold no harm or anger for what has taken place on earth, and humanity should not either. What this reptilian energy understands is that emotional frequencies mean nothing when it comes to karma or universal law. They are tools to direct consciousness towards expansion. So they will accept this earthy reptilian collective consciousness back into their race knowing that ultimately there will be a review of their actions. And since universal law operates differently for their structure, that review and resulting karmic energy will be appropriate not only for them, but for the balance of their entire race and universe.

What has been taking place since the August 21^st solar eclipse is an intricately orchestrated energetic dance between Mother Gaia and each individual soul or expression of God in this human collective. Reliving historic events and karmic energies, humanity now finds itself at a fork in the road; a choice to replay, revisit or rewrite history. We are at the brink of two forms of dimensional consciousness existing on this planet at the same time. The choice between the two roads comes down to a very simple and subtle action and reaction to what we see before us and how that molds and shapes our collective reality. The following is a channeled article through King Josiah, who is part of a Fifth dimensional collective channeled through Micheila Sheldan. This collective calls itself Jeramiah and includes many Kings, prophets and saints who have walked an earth incarnation.

Channeled through Micheila Sheldan

On the planet in this time, there is a great choice before you. All aspects of your ascension timeline are presented as a choice because this matches a critical part of your structure that defaults to free will within Universal Law. So there will be no directives, no automatic adjustments, no complete ascension of the human race without the opportunity to choose it within the singular structure.

The singular structure was the basis for how God was defined to operate through your race as a collective energy. All races in this universe are a representation of God in their own unique way. These structures are chosen on a higher plane of reality in which collective agreements and decisions are made. The human structure, by design and by its own choosing, decided to manifest into separate physical souls connected to each other through a higher self mechanism and to the universe through the oversoul. The basis of this aspect of God was that, through the singular soul experience, humans would reflect God in all things, expanding the presence of God in a collective structure of humanity, and a universal structure that is constantly expanding God.

As you have come to a critical choice within your ascension timeline, we wish to break down exactly what it is you are choosing between, and the choices that have been made available to you. When a car comes to a fork in the road, often this fork is perceived as the choice between two paths, each having separate realities and outcomes. But in order for you to find yourself at a fork in the road, much travel had to be undertaken prior to the choices being presented. Think of that travel as your soul experience. Each of you in a soul energy is that car driving down the road coming to a fork. The fork now looks the same to all beings and the reason for this is not that you have had the same experience, but that you have the same record. Your collective record is playing out singularly by your choice or free will. So although everyone is experiencing itself as a unique aspect of God in a collective reality, each human has the free will to interpret and respond to this collective reality differently, creating the fork in the road. Think of the fork as less of a physical decision and more of an energy to choose. How is it that I relate to the activities of the mind in response to the collective reality unfolding before me? And what is my purpose in these activities as they are unfolding? How am I a part in their expansion and their healing?

What has been taking place since the August 21^st solar eclipse is an intricately orchestrated energetic dance between Mother Gaia and each individual soul or expression of God in this human collective. The energies of the planets support your expansion, and as expansion takes place, there are more forks in the road created. You desired this. You came with a structure desiring the expansion of itself and its entire race on this universal playground. This comes with a connection to a record of all things. God is all things. God is past, present and future. God is Arcturian, Human and Pleiadian. God is love and hate, war and peace, sickness and health. Many do not think of God in this way. They perceive God as the all-knowing, all being, but not possessing a connection to the human collective and its activities.

All things physical that manifest on your planet have had a long history of energetic information collaborating at these three levels:  the soul, your planet or collective and the universe. The record, or God, is present in all things. When solar energies align on very specific frequencies, they come to erupt record information for the purpose of expansion. Think of having your own personal record book to rely on of your soul’s journey through time. You could choose, at certain points in your evolution, aspects of this record – past, present or future – to raise up and experience again. Yet, they could never be the same. You would bring up the energy, not the physical experience. The energy must be interpreted by you in order to manifest into a physical experience. You lend your mind, your emotional body, your soul and your perception to any vibrational energy. And as that vibrational energy becomes one with the aspect of your record you wish to experience, it has been swirling for some time. Like a pot of soup simmering on the stove, as you add spices, it is changing and things are being added. This is your inherent fork in the road. You have come to a moment in which collective record energy has been released for your seasoning. Your vibration intermixed with this record energy contains the platform by which master frequencies of God-like expansion are made.

The choice between the two roads comes down to this: how do I wish to mold, shape and experience these timelines offered by Gaia again? And what is my hope for humanity in its goal of expanding God for the entire universe, knowing that my singular soul is affected and also expanded by this action?

Many stand at this fork with collective events at this very moment, staring record energy in the face, and in fear of its potential. Every planetary interaction with Gaia has a significant purpose in her and your ascension. The August 21^st solar eclipse had embedded within it many desires you had collectively decided on before coming to this planet. But simply, it was to move you beyond a soul perspective energetically and to integrate the higher self component of your structure. Many of you may feel you have accomplished this by accepting a role of servants of humanity. Yet, these servants you have chosen still take a soul perspective when they are manifested in a physically focused energy.

Now back to the fork in the road.

We see this fork as existing for all beings as the choice between energetic creation and physical creation. In other words, how will you use your energy? How will you use the valuable tools of your perception of the collective to mold and shape timeline energy, the record or God? As the magnetics have changed here and all the vibrations have raised, your soul consciousness holds far more power to effect the expansion of your planet than ever before. We believe that as you continue to see past timelines erupt, using your energy in the highest vibrational direction possible in your own lives becomes the catalyst for change. Some souls will be drawn to physically invest in the recovery of your planet. Those who do are meant to be in these situations through soul contract. If you find you are not there in physical, how is it that your non-physical essence is not as powerful as that physical component? It is actually more. This is the shift that has taken place here since 2012. Your non-physical energy is now higher calibrated to activate physical results as the feminine energies come to compliment your manifestation abilities.

So the choice now becomes this:  Do you respond in physical and allow your non-physical energy to carry you through those experiences, or do you choose to respond in non-physical creating outcomes in physical manifestation? There is no right or wrong path, yet a subtle difference in how the soul energy chooses to align itself. Many are used to responding in physical and allowing their minds and emotional bodies to create nonphysically with no direction of their intention.  It matters not what dimension you are vibrating in, you will always have the choice as to how to respond to energy. The difference between dimensions is only the ability to manifest in a faster speed and hold energies more congruently to access additional information.

The only difference between these two roads is consciousness. Your consciousness is made up of your intention and direction of energy through perception, as well as your identity as connected to the collective and ultimately the universe or God. And those who are holding a more expansive consciousness would look at this fork in the road very differently than those who are just beginning to expand their self-awareness. This difference can be simply described as the understanding you embrace of how incredibly connected your energy is to all things; that every thought, every projection, every interpretation of your reality holds weight in the universe and becomes a part of the universal record.

As consciousness on your planet has changed, an underlying energy within your Gaia planet has shifted. What this means is that you are only seeing within a small fraction of reality when you perceive solely in physical. Those who only perceive with physical eyes cannot enter either of these forks in the road aligned to higher dimension. There is only a small fraction of humanity that will remain physically focused or in the third dimension. On the road to the fifth dimension, a more physical path may be chosen out of frustration, guilt or fear. Or, often the energetic path is taken, not chosen, by the mind creating through potential realities that do not compliment your desires. Yet all who awaken receive the choice, the fork. This awakening is the combination of physical and non-physical activities within the integrated soul energy. The choice between roads is the same. Both paths are fifth dimensional energies, but when taken with a different consciousness have tremendous results on the future of humanity, the soul experience and ultimately the expansion of God.

Ultimately everything must be known or seen in order to be real. This is how humans have been taught to use their energy. But nothing is real until energy is formed into a physical manifestation through collective intent. Your soul energy is a frequency of mass consciousness. What we have seen lately in the media and upon our planet has many of us questioning our reality. Mary Magdalene and the Pleiadians help us solve the dilemma of how to respond to some of our current planetary manifestations and the future potentials we see on the horizon. Calming the waters within becomes the catalyst for collective change.

Channeled through Micheila Sheldan

 

As planetary alignments and solar frequencies come to shift your collective consciousness, there are two aspects that must be taken into consideration – planetary shifts and collective soul energies. Mother Gaia is a living, breathing organism that holds timelines, energy centers, ascension codes and karma. These planetary alignments, such as your recent solar eclipse, come to affect her just as much as they do you. But what is the order of events that takes place? And what comes first – the vibrational karma or the physical manifestations, or both? We come to explore this with you to assist humans in understanding their role in these karmic events and to understand them as an energy that becomes molded through consciousness.

In order to accomplish this, we must first explore the way in which Mother Gaia responds to planetary energies. This is easy to understand if you look at your own responses. At times, when you are feeling the purge of density and emotion, she is also purging these energies. When you are feeling the blissful expansion of higher vibrations, she too is expanding. As you are all individual beings with unique structures, we understand that not all humans respond to energy similarly. However, there is an underlying thread of call and response to all planetary alignments that works intricately within your human structure to evoke the same energetic outcome, regardless of how you adjust to it or experience your reality. Keeping this in mind, what has been happening here on your planet since January 2016, has been a magnetic realignment to historic cords of blocked energy with repeating patterns. The alignments you have seen, whether solar, lunar or both, have been aimed at rearranging these repeating patterns by calling attention to them and offering through free will another creative response.

Much of the timelines within Gaia are held by a collective energy that is magnetically connected to the human race. What happens upon her becomes her karma and density, yet she accepts it on behalf of you in order to transmute it in some way. Energy as a currency flows between experiences, allowing itself to become dense or light in vibrational speed according to its magnetic pull. So when history takes place, that history remains dormant within Gaia until a planetary event comes to clear it, or a magnetic match comes to amplify it. The magnetic match is a delicate energy to understand, because it can be similar to the event or its polar opposite. Matching timelines isn’t just about experiencing them exactly the same. There is a vibrational frequency that culminates within the collective to draw energy into a manifestation. The manifestation is directed by the humans in the collective energy, even though the history or event being used had a specific manifestation. To make this quite simple, think of using energy in your day to day experience. You have a storage bank of energy to draw upon and you choose through your consciousness the way in which that energy manifests. However if you are not being diligent to its use, you may find yourself expending energy in ways that you do not wish to see made manifest.

What has happened with the recent planetary energies is a call and response. Call and response is always working through Universal Law. Your structure responds to this type of creation because your energetic makeup is magnetically tied to all things in the universe. So Mother Gaia, being the primary collective energy (or the largest energetic structure of your earth frequency), was most affected and began to purge karma and density in response to planetary alignments. That energetic currency (or purge of emotion and history) must be utilized in some form by its magnetic counterparts, humans. So as this density began to purge, humans also began to match the energies of the planetary alignments, also purging similarly to Gaia. What happens next is most important.

There is no form that energy takes, regardless of whether it is karmic or not. Material form is given to energy through conscious direction of that energy. So when this history or emotional density was purged, it had no meaning, no form, other than a speed of vibration that may have been interpreted as intense by humans. Intensity is only a heightened state of awareness. So when more energy is present in a vibrational space, awareness is increased in order to evolve as a being, race or planetary space. Ultimately these planetary alignments come to increase awareness and raise conscious direction of energy into new forms. Yet there is the capacity for this idea to go awry, and this is what we have seen happen time and time again as these planetary energies directed at raising your consciousness become the catalyst for large events that cause harm or destruction on your planet.

This intensity we speak of can be energetically directed through a vibration of fear and anger, or inner reflection and love. Your human planet has chosen free will. And, at times, your free will has been manipulated to take your understanding of creation away from you. The effects of this still exist on your planet. So as intensity rises, predictions come. Human beings will often project into the future from a state of fear or anger in a collective energy. Feeling the intensity around them, which is an opportunity to vision into their experience through new eyes, they may choose to create through fear or restriction in their own singular lives. Yet every singular creation is magnetically tied to the collective.

Let us take this a step further and say that collectively now, a potential manifestation may arise. These manifestations are a complicated layering and crossing of energies. The collective potential is showing how the energetic currency or karma purged from Mother Gaia is now being directed magnetically on your planet. But this potential now becomes the focus of your collective energy. It is discussed, seen, predicted and intensified. It is prepared for and it is anticipated. Now past meets future, as photos of the destruction from similar past events are shown and discussed. This is how the energetic clearing offered by the planetary alignments becomes directed into physical events that repeat history.

Ultimately everything must be known or seen in order to be real. This is how humans have been taught to use their energy. But nothing is real until the energy is formed into a physical manifestation through collective intent. You may say, but my intention was not to create this! And our response would be that your intention and free will operate together and must be directed consciously in order to eliminate these potentials from becoming a concrete manifestation of destruction.

The dilemma for humanity becomes how to respond to these manifestations and future potentials seen on the horizon. This is only accomplished by calming the waters from within. Your soul energy is a frequency of mass consciousness. It can be used in such a powerful way when it is mastered in your daily life. Mastering fear and the unknown can be difficult we realize with the projections on your planet. But when you begin to understand how powerful you are within to calm the storm, it is not what you see that will matter; it is what you will feel that will become the catalyst for new potentials to arise that are magnetically matched to your desires and divine will that will be seen.

So as these events unfold, it is important to understand the concept of neutrality and how to project your energy into positively aligned future manifestations. We offer neutrality as a concept of love and compassion, not neglect or disconnection. Neutrality is equal to Source or God. It is an energy within that creates all things. It is not projected through emotion; it is beyond emotion. Emotion is a tool of your human structure to find harmony and navigate your experience. It is ok to feel frightened or concerned for humanity. But neutrality is a knowing that all things will be resolved. Neutrality is a confidence of the Source within to provide its unique gifts and talents through you to compliment all needs and to calm the waters. Fear is an announcement to your inner divine self that it is time to embody new truth. Walking through fear is how neutrality is accomplished. Fear is an energy that is meant to prepare us energetically, not always physically. The physical component of fear has been taken outside of its original context and has begun to erode your human structure of its sensory perception and inner guidance. It has replaced the call and response idea we spoke of above with an unnatural energy.

What if we told you that every emotion you feel, when properly responded to and integrated, becomes the neutral or Source energy to expand human creation? Emotions are present moment frequencies of the human structure. They are intensity arising within the body to evolve the soul. When we use them wisely, as intended, they are the catalyst for change in our lives. But when we project them into our reality, they are magnetically matching energies that often do not serve.

So feel the anger, sadness and fear, but be very conscious of how those intense emotions offer opportunities to serve and expand. Energy flows within your consciousness to create physical material of vibration. So evaluate your need to stay in these emotions and how they may be taken outside of present moment into future reality. Consider your role in humanity. It may be quite different than being in the eye of the storm in physical form to make an impact. Yet your unique role could be just as significant, creating something just as powerful as the storm with energetic currency that is now available, flowing and released for the betterment of humanity. Energy knows no name, no definition, until it is given. Keeping this in mind, how can this feeling of intensity be directed by you into the collective, void of fear, anger or future destructive manifestation?

Many of you will question the source of these events and focus on placing blame. This too is an activity of your consciousness that magnetically amplifies energy. Everything you are focused on is a process of creation. We would answer your questions by saying that everything that exists on the planet in this time is a manifestation of the human collective consciousness. Ultimately, there is a reptilian consciousness that also exists here and has redirected your creative efforts away from divine will and into a focus of singularity and suffering. This history is what is being reorganized right now. There is an inherent opportunity here in this time to realize that everything is connected. Weather modification and government direction of your planet’s outcomes exist because it is matched in some way magnetically to your energetic creation. There is no one and nothing to blame, other than redirecting your human energetic creation. Do you feel the relief in this? A subtle shift to calming the waters within yourselves, your homes, your communities, your conversations will lead to the dismantling of these energies. They can no longer exist when humanity does not match them. This is universal law.

As you go forth knowing that you are the catalyst for the healing of humanity, choose to feel into that with all of your heart. Watch carefully to find balance between what exists in this present moment and what you are projecting through your thoughts and actions into the next. We are all One in the unity of universal love. And we offer you this support not only for these moments of hardship, but also in times of great peace.

We have all received an invitation to the ‘ascension party’ via new galactic energies imposed by this week’s solar eclipse. The question becomes, how will humanity RSVP and attend this collaboration of unique energies that offer the impetus to create a new earth timeline? In this channeled message through Micheila Sheldan, The Pleiadians come to explain how the eclipse energies have affected our human and planetary experience, as well as the positive changes we will see unfold as we birth a new timeline. We learn the meaning behind the crop circle found in Essex this past week, and how to make the best use of these energetic frequencies to create a new collective reality. 

As many of you are adjusting to a new timeline and heightened frequencies of love, we offer to you that all Beings who support your journey are in much appreciation of your process. We know that as humans, ascension is not always the easiest path to follow. And many of us continue on our own journeys of ascension, quite similar to your own.

Ascension, you see, is not a goal of enlightenment that you must achieve. It is willed upon your arrival here as a soul waiting to be blessed by curiosity, expansion and evolution. Through all the experiences you have had and continue to have, your soul is being fulfilled. It is only your perceiving of the journey that makes ascension a requirement to achieve fulfillment.

“Ascension is not a task completed that arrives at a gift. Ascension is finding the gift in each moment that makes the tasks worthwhile.”

Ascension is not a task completed that arrives at a gift. Ascension is finding the gift in each moment that makes the tasks worthwhile. And your tasks have been many. We come in this transmission to speak to the unfolding of the new energies and how you can best serve humanity, the earth and your ascension timeline, through ever-expanding wonderment and awareness.

The eclipse energies have had effects on both your soul energy, as well as your human collective element. But do you also realize that your universal connection has been strengthened? We wish to speak of your human structure in terms of 3 crystalline containers – soul, earth and universal. The reason we break meaning into these 3 aspects is to show the connection between all things. And so it is that all things connected work together in this ascension timeline.

Ascension is awakening to your own self as this unity connection. That you are made up of more than just the soul’s perception. This is how expanded self-awareness unfolds in all dimensions. It is the merging of the singular structure with the collective entity vibration and its planetary or heavenly body. When you consider this unity connection, you must understand that it has always been a part of your experience. We know that, as souls, much of your choosing before arriving in this singular perspective precludes you. And also, that the remembering of this fact was so exciting to you that your perspective became the valuable offering to combine the frequencies of self and the other.

Your soul, as it has aligned with this eclipse energy, has purged density on a grand scale. Much of this was initiated by historic imprints you have been bringing to the surface in your personal lives, such as the emotional traumas you have faced within your families, your relationships and your communities and the loss of humans who you held so dear. Many of these realities have caused you to restrict and protect your energy. These are all planned events of your vibrational record that were matched with past timeline energies. They manifested not because they were so specific to you, but because they held collective meaning. The density that was released during this recent eclipse is similar in all humans. It is thick emotional density that has been accumulated through time. The sun, as the masculine energy, came to support the safety to release your deepest fears and traumas. The moon, as the female energy, came to nurture the exploration of your identity through these traumas. This is why so many of you, during the exact hours of the eclipse, may have been drawn into situations of deep emotional pain or fear. This could have been physical, mental or expressed in connections between humans with magnetic arrangements.

Once this density was cleared, it left room for soul energies to become lighter in weight and speed. Think of the lightbody here and the way in which it interacts with the universe. So the essence of your vibrational structure, now lighter, is connecting with higher frequencies. This can be the presence and attraction of new energies, soul guides, interdimensionals or earth-bound soul partners. As you continue to integrate these higher frequencies, you will find it easier to connect parts of your human past to intentions your soul held before you arrived in this physical body. This is the reunion with your record, its service to Mother Gaia and the universal code of expansion that is embodied within a universal structure. Every human being is meeting themselves again in a new form. This is a grand opportunity to choose realities, as a timeline split now becomes more evident than it ever has before in the history of mankind. We welcome this timeline rearrangement as a part of Mother Earth’s record and it will become the impetus for a new phase of ascension and expansion.

Think of all of the agreements you made before arriving here in physical form. These agreements you could not possibly remember, yet they are embedded in your vibrational makeup. The same goes for Mother Gaia.  Humanity, through agreement, is a part of her vibrational makeup. This is your collective reality. It is being created not only through the intention and energetic contribution of all humans in singular form, but it is also affected by Gaia’s intentions and energetic contributions. These of which are many when you consider that her agreements are made with other planetary beings, heavenly bodies and collective races. Imagine the grand scale of this so called ascension party we have all been invited to! Many believe that being human is a lower frequency and irrelevant in the nature of the universe. But can you now see the importance you hold? The abilities you have to affect worlds? This is what we wish for you to understand most.

Mother Earth Manifestations

These new planetary frequencies are offered at a time when the human consciousness is ready to manifest in physical alignment with its energetic record. There have been many ideas that have come forth to heal and serve the planet. Yet, have you noticed that these ideas have not come to complete fruition? The reason for this is that the consciousness of the planet was not on the same magnetic frequency of these intentions. And now, it is becoming far closer. What you will begin to see is a re-activation of positive historic timelines, much of these containing interdimensional contact and the fulfillment of ancient prophesies through cooperative efforts. It is disclosure that we see as being one of the first and most significant aspects of this energetic transition. The acceptance of human telepathic communication with benevolent beings will lead to the breakthroughs in technologies you have been waiting for to override much of the destruction you see on this planet. The plans have already been written and the energies are culminating around them. Your energetic offering is a part of these technologies regardless of your direct interaction with them. Your awareness and awakening is the acceptance others must find of their own to facilitate this output into the earth experience.

We see the beginnings of utilitarian societies emerging by which all are welcome to participate. These will be self-sustainable and able to maintain a higher vibration than totalitarian societies that exist for the benefit of reptilian forces. Much of what has been created by this reptilian consciousness has already been reorganized and rewritten within your record. The unfolding of this is what will be seen as you walk this new timeline.

Societally speaking, you will see very dramatic shifts in commonplace features of human distraction, such as your news programs and media, as well as medical establishments and physical care. There will be subtle openings within these organizations allowing more truth and freedoms for humans. We also see a shift in your monetary structure as a direct allocation of your newfound frequency. You see, humans cannot vibrate in alignment with creation of a hierarchical system when they are not a magnetic match to it. This will also begin to trickle into specific areas of human experience, starting at the soul level and working its way into the collective experience. There will be no need for debt to exist if there is no hierarchy to uphold. And these debts will begin to release their grip on your frequency, causing you to operate in a more energetic relationship to money than one based in lack.

We also wish to say that within the eclipse energies, a large karmic release was initiated for the earth as a collective being. It is the microcosm of the macrocosm we are speaking of here in relationship to the density that was released within the soul. So as Mother Earth is now lighter, she is able to use her relationship to light and sound much more effectively to manage timeline shifts. This means that creating new collective timelines is far easier and more complimentary to the great times of ancient history than ever before.

An Important Message in England

During the eclipse energies, a crop circle was found in England. What this symbolizes is the telepathic energies of Mother Earth as they vibrate out to the universe activating all cooperative agreements she has made. This interdimensional announcement is met by its magnetic match, meaning that Mother Gaia had an ascension party all her own. The attendees were Beings and races on star systems and galaxies who were present at the original creation time of your human race. Think of it as a galactic family reunion offering the laugher and joy of the memories of past and an activation of the higher vibrational timelines that are now imprinted within her and matched by your collective consciousness. The language embedded in the image holds frequencies of light that match the energies and language of a variety of ancient beings in the Creator Collective. It signifies a restoration of interplanetary communication and the integration of that communication with the human lightbody.

Activating Collective Creation

As density and karma were released, a crystalline energy surrounded the planet to protect it from re-magnetizing these energies into new creative efforts. In other words, this density and karma was not purged to Mother Earth, but it was polarized into a neutral state and offered to the universal time grid for collective expansion. It was the pleasure of many to assist in this effort and the earth is a vital essence of this colony of universal love.

We continue to offer that, as the earth is adjusting, you will see eruptions of negative energy. These energies will be localized but have the potential to be amplified into new timelines created through collective human participation. What this means is that negative forces still intend to survive on this planet using your creative energy to manifest.

There will always be experience here. And experience is imprinted as negative or positive in the minds of humans, so please watch carefully where small, localized outbursts of negative energy become publicized in an effort to garnish fear or hatred. This type of energetic manipulation is what has created timelines you wish to now release and change. This is why we see the splitting of timelines to be so significant on your planet in this time. Those vibrating in a more fifth dimensional energy will have the capability to rise above these negatively charged announcements and see them for what they truly are – localized energetic releases of historic events that no longer serve the collective.

As you will continue to experience life on this planet, your perception will change to better understand the point of all of this ascension energy spoken of in so many languages. You will understand that ascension takes place when the vantage point rises to that of a collective viewpoint. And that the collective viewpoint is not something that can be seen in one person, or a small group of people. It cannot be seen in religion or in race. It cannot be seen in your government agencies, care centers or schools. Ascension can only be seen when you look in the mirror, holding the events of the collective in the perspective of time, and seeing how your view of these experiences activates creation. We are pleased to be creating right along with you.

In great love and appreciation,

The 9^th dimensional Pleiadian collective 

Reishi is a tree fungus that is highly revered throughout the history of Asian herbalism. The Japanese name, reishi, is most commonly used. In China it is called lingzhi, and the Vietnamese name is linh chi; all of which mean “soul/spirit mushroom” or “supernatural mushroom.” Reishi is said to support a long, vibrant and beneficial life, and has earned the titles “mushroom of spiritual immortality,” and “good luck herb.” Its Western pharmaceutical name is Ganoderma lucidum, so named for its shiny upper surface. 

Reishi is a member of a class of tree mushrooms called Polypores, due to their fine porous bottom surface, as opposed to the gilled underside of most common and edible mushrooms. Polypore mushrooms grow in forests on dead wood. Hi quality semi-wild ganoderma is grown outside on cut logs, and commercial varieties are cultivated in controlled environments on moistened rice, oats, hay, and other substrates, with varying degrees of quality. [1] Polypore mushrooms are generally not edible, as the cellulose is tough and fibrous, with a lignin structural matrix similar to cork wood. The fruiting body and mycelia are used to create reishi products, but the fruiting body is thought to be the most valuable part for health. Cracked spore and spore oil products are recently available, but I believe breaking the spore cell wall is destructive to reishi’s natural design and intention. 

Polypore mushrooms include varieties of reishi that vary in color, and its many cousins (ex. Ganoderma Oregonese), chaga (Inonotus obliquus), maitake (Grifola fronderosa), Phellinus lintaeus and turkey tail (Coriolus versicolor). These mushrooms are found growing in many regions, with ganoderma varieties occurring almost universally around the world.   

Many studies have proven the effectiveness of polypores for supporting general immunity, [2] but reishi is also said to enhance spiritual perception. This illustrious reputation was cultivated over thousands of years of experiential observation, and a great deal of Asian art and literature has documented reishi as a spiritual herb, although modern scientific analysis has not developed the mechanisms to evaluate these properties. 

Ancient Chinese folklore attests that one who takes reishi can attain immortality, and that regular consumption can “initiate benevolent cycles of health.” My favorite saying is that reishi is a “bridge between Heaven and Earth.” We can view this in the scroll painting below. 

In the lower portion, people are dwelling on Earth, sipping tea and walking in the forests. The venerable Lao Tzu leads a group of young scholars. Quan Yin ponders harmony in natural beauty, and young lovers revel under the trees. In the center, a reishi mushroom grows on a rock, and above, the Emperor and Empress dwell in the Imperial Palace and ascended Immortals ride celestial dragons among the clouds. Reishi is said to imbue immortality when taken regularly. “Celestial Immortals” have been described throughout Chinese literary history. Many of these Immortals are still said to dwell in the high realms of China’s five sacred mountains. The Queen Mother of the West, China’s Matriarch, lives atop Kunlun Mountain and holds a reishi mushroom in her lap. Historically, writings in the Shennong Bencao, possibly dating to 5975 B.P (before present) state that reishi can “prolong life so as to make one an immortal.” Ge Hong (1734 B.P.) created an elixir with gold reishi that was sought after by Emperors. He stated that reishi could pertain to “an intermediate dimension between mundane and transcendent reality,” and that the mushroom could “produce geniehood.” Li Shizhen (437 B.P.) stated that it could “lengthen life to that of the Immortal fairies.” 

Since discovering reishi, I have sought to decipher the possible biochemical pathways responsible for its purported spiritual enhancement and its ability to support long life. I began with the impressive modern research on reishi’s immune-supporting potential. Analysis reveals polypores contain a class of powerful polysaccharides called Beta 1-3-6 glucans, which are found to activate cytokines, special enzymes that penetrate and invigorate white blood cells, or macrophages ~ our body’s primary immune defense agents. When macrophages are empowered, the immune system will be engaged in cellular protection from anti-microbial activity through phagocytizing and general blood cleansing. Reishi also contains organic germanium (up to 6000 pts. Per mil.), and is high in triterpenes, also called ganodermic acids, which comprise the bitter component and are measureable as the therapeutic biomarker [3] (bitter is better). 

When the body’s internal defenses are strong, we feel safer and protected, which relieves the adrenals of stress from worry and insecurity. When empowered, we are confident and willing to engage in life’s adventures. This optimistic attitude can brighten one’s light. Confident people will attract many friends and admirers, and in time, we become “The Light,” inspiring those around us. We then find we can help people, and we receive help. Thus, we unveil the “benevolent cycles of health” mentioned before.  

This represents a potential psycho-somatic side benefit of taking reishi, but, mushrooms are also known to affect the psyche and perception in ways that aren’t yet scientifically documented. Reishi does not induce psychotropic experiences, but it appears to expand perception. So, let me attempt to explain some possibilities for this potential, as well as delve into many mysteries around the origins of life on Earth and the role advanced fungi may play in consciousness.

Some revelations may exist in the study of Astrobiology. Many Mycologists believe that mushrooms are extra-terrestrial life forms, due to their taxonomic sovereignty, and because fungal spores are capable of surviving space travel; mushroom spores are microscopic and light enough to drift out of our atmosphere and into space (gravitropism), potentially making Earth a cosmic fungal sporulation lab (the spores are initially launched from the fruiting body cells through ballasting processes that may involve diamagnetic electrostatic repulsion, propelling them high enough into the air to be caught in wind currents).[4]

Beginning in the 1970’s, Astrobiologists proposed that basic archaea and much prokaryotic (single celled) life is extra-terrestrial, having originally blown into our atmosphere or arrived in blocks of ice and on meteorites.[5] In the case of the mysterious red rain of Kerala, scientists discovered the tinting was caused by moisture capturing an extraterrestrial algae that was drifting into Earth’s atmosphere. The event was preceded by a sonic boom that may have been from a meteorite that entered our outer atmosphere and exploded, dispersing the algae.[6] Such microbes are called extremophiles, due to their resilience under heat, cold and pressure. Extremophilic organisms are now thought to be responsible for seeding planets with biologically active life.   

During Earth’s early stages, it is thought that bacteria sought refuge from solar radiation inside the permeable fat walls of algae cells, forming colonies that eventually created cooperative intercellular organelles and mitochondria, leading to the rise of complex multi-cellular (Eukaryotic) life. [7] I discussed in my book Threshold to the 4th Chakra that it is unlikely that bacteria alone created these cellular components. Bacteria remain in their own kingdom and perform many symbiotic actions within their milieu, but they do not become functioning DNA of larger organisms. These scientists overlook another important kingdom responsible for the rise of complex life; fungi may have supported the development of microtubules of cellular cytoplasm ~ the information transport system of the cell. By this, I believe that bacteria, algae and fungi combine to create higher life forms.   

Fossils reveal that Earth’s earliest masses of carbon material, called stromatolites, were composed of lasagna-like layers of algae and bacteria, enabling nitrogen fixing, molybdenum oxidation and other important components for life. As this material decomposed, “carbon substrates” formed, creating a medium conducive to fungal sporulation, and tiny filaments of mycelia permeated the substrates, creating nutrient-delivery systems that were remote, thus introducing the conscious transfer of information. I believe that without fungal mycelia, life would merely be composed of tiny organisms living and dying to create sandwiched mounds of matter. While bacteria and algae do function consciously, they would have continued within this cooperative environment into perpetuity. It wasn’t until mycelinating fungi created neurologic systems that symbiotic multicellular life with higher consciousness evolved. 

Cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells has no physical similarities to colonized bacteria, but does resemble fungal mycelia in structure and function. In fact, they can hardly be distinguished, as revealed in the images below. On left is a Human neurological cell and right is fungal mycelia. Both are information-transport networks. 

 

And now, for the mystery question; if fungi, bacteria and algae combined to create higher conscious life, when and where did this original evolution take place? If these microbes, archaea, diatoms and spores have been transported to Earth over potentially vast distances and time-travel, then where did they come from? The only answer we can assume is: everywhere. 

Earth’s oldest rock samples (approx. 3.5 billion years B.P.) contain fossilized cyano-bacteria (algae-mimicking bacteria).8 This indicates they evolved somewhere long before Earth’s atmosphere was established. These considerations imply that Earthly life follows a pre-established order that is symbiotic with all life in the cosmos, and indicates a universal Blueprint. Every celestial body in the universe may be dusted with bacteria, algae and spores, and, depending on a planet’s proximity to a star, they will begin a long process of creating and regulating an atmosphere conducive for life, where evolutionary patterns will progress to create environments and organisms that share common biology with our planet.

Then again, we must ask, where did all this begin? We can only humble ourselves in the face of this mystery, but we can also know that there are worlds beyond - before and after, for, if these lifeforms arrived on early Earth, they must have evolved on planets identical to ours. As mentioned, bacteria are functional symbionts of biological activity; algae create oxygen atmospheres, which, along with bacteria can congeal to create carbon substrates, but the advanced fungi appear to be the harbingers of consciousness, allowing organisms to cooperate and contemplate life, and by which Humans might even someday discover and communicate with life on other worlds.   

We have long known that mushrooms benevolently affect consciousness. Reishi is not psychotropic and does not alter perception, but benefits mental clarity and helps instill a reverent attitude. Reishi enhances spiritual enlightenment, and seems to “weave us into the mycelial web of life.” The subterranean relationship of fungi with plants is called mycorrhiza. Humans attempted to sever ourselves from this relationship through disassociation with the ground (pavement, shoes, tires, etc.). Protracted taking of reishi appears to resuscitate our connection to everything else; plugging us back into our Earth. Nature is calling us to reunite for common survival, and that is why I believe reishi and other tonic herbs and superfoods are emerging in our consciousness that this time.

It is relatively simple to create and maintain the microenvironments and conditions for growing our own reishi, therefore, it cannot be controlled, usurped, sequestered or denied from us. Wild reishi is a world-wide phenomenon that could never be exhausted or endangered, therefore, we all have access to this lifechanging messenger. By taking reishi, we could quickly experience the rapid unfoldment of our higher stage of evolution, which could metaphorically correlate with the 4th Chakra energy of the Heart - the energy of giving. Of reishi’s five colors, the red reishi is associated with the Heart. Curiously this is the variety that is revealing itself to us as we walk in the woods, and is even seen growing on trees in city streets.  

The following is a writing from the Pleaidian Collective channeled through Micheila Sheldan. Many of us struggle with the concept of duality, ego and our collective reality. The Pleiadians come to share their perspective on these concepts and how they are critical to healing and planetary ascension.

Micheila Sheldan

The concept of duality is something that earth beings have struggled with for many years on your planet. There is such simplicity in the concept of duality. Duality stems from your desire to experience life through the eyes of many, through the eyes of Source. At the time of human creation and conception, the collective agreements and intentions for your race had already been arranged. We come to share what they hold, how they have been mistaken and why you continue to struggle with a concept that is so important to your soul’s evolution.

As beings of light, you are connected to all things. In knowing this prior to manifesting into form, you were excited that this connection could be defined in so many beautiful and creative ways. In fact, when the intention of the human collective was realized, it was so exciting that many races desired to become a part of this timeline. Duality, or how the conscious awareness of a being is shown of itself through others, is how you desired to experience your life and became the foundation of what the human race knows as soul interaction and evolution.

As the Pleiadians, our role in humanity’s evolution is simply to help it come back to its organic nature and truth. And as we are involved in many teachings and healings shared through channels of light, we come with very simple messages mostly focused on self-love. The reason for this is that, from our perception, if you can love the self, you will love all things of the self. This includes those beings who have been a part of your experience not resulting in what you consider love.

Human beings are co-conspiring with the universe through an egoic structure. Ego is not an identity of the self. Ego is a tool of your organism to find itself through all things. So ego is essentially a compass meant to navigate you back to your truest identity, beyond all outer interpretation and judgement. Duality is a concept that society has designed to help you heal the ego, to either rid yourself of it or to get rid of any harsh judgements that it brings to your awareness. The ego and duality are two concepts we wish to explain in further detail, especially in regards to healing both your soul experience, as well as your collective consciousness.

With the birth of humanity came the initiation of a new collective record, one in which many agreements and intentions are held. Of these most important intentions is to continue to evolve your race as singular beings upholding a one unity consciousness. What you realized before you came into this body is that your creative energy was the lifeblood to fulfill your destiny through joy, peace and love, over flowing into the collective to amplify its creative energy resulting in the same. And as time evolved here, you understood that your separate identity held much value.

You are a Source God Creator. What that means is that you are deeply connected to all things and resonate as a fragmented part of a whole. Think of yourself for a moment. What if in your creative process, you decided to give birth to human fragments of your soul energy for the purpose of expanding your experience? In doing so, you gave each identity a focus – mother, teacher, dancer, explorer, animal lover, and gardener, for example. You became so excited because you saw the potential to manifest more human time for each of these identities to be a complete focused energy of that fragmented part of your soul. And so it was that each new being flourished. In their focus and in their freedom to create they became so adept at their assignment and intention that much good flowed into the world. These parts of you did not have a care that anyone else existed or of their focus, regardless of how different it was from their own. And they were not able to stall their creativity to receive approval before moving forward as they flowed with Source energy.

Now, at some point, there was a decision for all of these separate identities to integrate back with the One, or you. And in doing so, you fulfilled yourself through all of the creative efforts of these separate identities, so much so that you were a powerhouse of creation. You began to have inspired ideas that the mother identity could now assist the gardener and that the teacher could be included in these activities as well. This is humanity! This is your intention. We have only grounded it for you in a singular experience, but oh it is large!

Now, if each identity that was fragmented above began perceiving itself as separate of and defining itself through the experience of other identities, we would not have the same result. You see, according to societal standards, the teacher could never be the gardener and the mother could never be the dancer. And if they tried to accept themselves as more than they are, there would be consequences. The hierarchies of your modern society call for a thought process to be invoked before any inspiring action is created. This is how the ego has been taken outside of its original value. It has been taught to judge its own duality though was seems to be separate eyes. Yet everything and everyone in its sight is only a fragmented energy of itself. And regardless of how much the dancer likes to teach or the mother likes to garden, the soul energy knew that it was also fragmented into many complimentary realities. And that if it were to allow itself to be in the present with its desires, all beings would benefit regardless of their focus. It is the focus that is the largest defining issue in all of these scenarios.

So we question you now about duality and if it is really so that you are separate of all things. And we challenge you now to accept that the ego is here to see itself through all things. As you honor its separate focus, the ego holds a unique connection to the Source. This true state of duality coupled with focused human intention, results in the harmony of collective creation. And so it is.  

In many ways I straddle a couple of different communities – indeed, different worlds. I am a trained and “card-carrying” academic. I earned a Ph.D. in geology and geophysics at Yale University and I am currently a fulltime tenured faculty member at Boston University. Yet I take a deep and serious interest in various topics that the majority of my fellow academics find, to put it mildly, loathsome. I have challenged mainstream status quo dogma and explored topics that, I have been advised, are best left unexplored if I want to have a successful university career.

My work on ancient cultures, challenging the mainstream view that the origins of civilization do not extend further than five thousand to six thousand years ago, has not endeared me to my more conventional colleagues. Beginning with my re-dating of the core body of the Great Sphinx, which sits on the edge of the Sahara Desert and shows evidence of water weathering and erosion despite the hyper-arid climate of the region during the last five millennia, I have argued that there was an earlier cycle of civilization that well preceded – by thousands of years – the dynastic Egyptians. Since my original work on the Great Sphinx, the discovery and excavation of the tremendously sophisticated megalithic site of Göbekli Tepe in southeastern Turkey, the oldest portions of which date back to the end of the last ice age, confirm that advanced civilization existed thousands of years prior to the period when conventional wisdom asserts civilization began (for further discussion, refer to my book Forgotten Civilization: The Role of Solar Outbursts in Our Past and Future, 2012).

Geologically, based on detailed ice core analyses and other data, the last ice age ended suddenly and dramatically circa 9700 BCE. For decades the cause of the sudden warming remained a mystery, but piecing together multiple lines of evidence, my conclusion is that there was a major solar outburst at this time. Our star, our Sun, spewed forth mighty solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and related phenomena that literally scorched parts of our planet’s surface, set wildfires, melted high latitude glaciers suddenly, and ultimately snapped us out of the last ice age. The release of pressure on Earth’s crust due to melting glaciers initiated earthquake and volcanic activity. And as glaciers melted and water evaporated, the atmosphere became overloaded with moisture that came down again as torrential rains, causing widespread flooding and erosion (such as the erosion seen on the core body of the Great Sphinx). The magnetosphere, ionosphere, and ozone layer were probably compromised, allowing dangerous levels of radiation to penetrate to the surface of Earth. The best way to escape was to go underground – and indeed there is evidence that pockets of human survivors did just this, as witnessed by natural caves and artificial underground shelters utilized during this period and subsequently; the Cappadocia area of Turkey is a prime example, with its rock-cut houses and underground cities that could shelter thousands of people along with their animals and food supplies. Likewise, there were major extinctions of large animals at the end of the last ice age, animals who could not easily escape the surface devastation.

Advanced civilizations had developed by the end of the last ice age, but this earlier cycle of civilization came to an end with the solar outburst catastrophe of circa 9700 BCE. A “solar-induced dark age” (SIDA) ensued, one that lasted some six thousand years, until civilization re-emerged in Egypt, Anatolia, Mesopotamia, and elsewhere.

Interestingly, the story of Atlantis as recounted by Plato places the fall of that mighty civilization at circa 9600 BCE, in close correspondence to the modern dating of the end of the last ice age. Furthermore, Plato’s descriptions of the catastrophes that brought the Atlantean civilization to a close sound very much like the results that could ensue from a major solar outburst. When I point out such correspondences to my academic colleagues, I generally get either smirks or downright outrage. After all, according to the mainstream view, the Atlantis legend is just that, a legend or myth – perhaps a political (or even musical, according to some) metaphor with no basis in reality when it comes to chronology and genuine events in the physical world. My conventional colleagues assure me that the civilization of Atlantis never actually existed. Successful and accomplished university professors do not go hunting for Atlantis or even discuss the topic other than in the context of literature or philosophy.

Another realm I have explored, and which has piqued rather than endeared me to my academic colleagues, is what might be loosely termed the “spirit world”. I have long had a serious interest in psychical research, the paranormal, and subject matter that is generally termed more technically parapsychology. My interest arises in large part from my studies of ancient civilizations, for ancient peoples consistently included psychic and parapsychological phenomena among their core belief systems. And, whether we care to acknowledge it or not, humanity in today’s world of modern technology is still shaped and influenced by our cultural inheritance from remote ancient times.

One aspect of this very ancient inheritance is a set of beliefs and practices that in modern times has been broadly termed “shamanism”. I have to admit that I cringe a bit when I read or hear the term “shamanism” as in my assessment it has been overused and even abused during the past few decades, becoming a catch-all phrase, but perhaps at this point there is no better replacement term. Modern classical shamans and their belief systems are centered in the region of Siberia (see for instance the masterful 1935 study by S. M. Shirokogoroff with the evocative title Psychomental Complex of the Tungus [reprinted 1999]) and in its present form Siberian shamanism may be only a few centuries old, but the antecedents of shamanic beliefs go back to well before the end of the last ice age.

The core of shamanism is the belief in, and acknowledgment of, spirits and the spirit world. A shaman is a person who has become “a master of spirits, at least of a group of spirits” (Shirokogoroff, p. 271; italics in the original). According to shamanic beliefs, the cosmos is inhabited by spirits who can at times interact with and affect humans. There is a world of spirits, a world that exists simultaneously with the ordinary physical and material world we all take for granted. A human, such as a shaman, can interact with and visit the spirit world. Such fundamental shamanic beliefs can be traced back tens of thousands of years, and were common to the ancestors of all living humans (see E. J. Michael Witzel’s insightful 2012 tome, The Origins of the World’s Mythologies).

Well, it is fine and good from a conventional academic perspective to study primitive belief systems, such as those of shamanism, but one must never take such superstitious nonsense seriously – that would certainly be crossing the proverbial line at the risk of exile to the academic equivalent of Siberia. But there was in recent times a well-known and distinguished anthropologist who had crossed this line: Edith Turner (1921 – 2016; she was in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, at the time of her death). In various publications Turner testified that during a traditional curative ritual in Zambia she witnessed a spirit form. As she described it, “the traditional doctor bent down amid the singing and drumming to extract the harmful spirit” . . . “I saw with my own eyes a large, gray blob of something like plasma emerge from the sick woman's back” (E. Turner, “The Reality of Spirits”, published in the journal Shamanism, volume 10, number 1, Spring/Summer 1997). This, I dare suggest, is hardly an isolated incident. Many people have had similar experiences, but such persons and their testimonies are simply dismissed by traditional academics who consider it all a matter of delusions, self-delusions, or downright fraud. The average anthropologist may record such stories told by informants, but certainly not take them as literal recountings of what really happened.

If there is such a thing as the serious academic study of spirit phenomena, then it would fall under the realm of parapsychology (which also goes by the older name of psychical research). Here what I mean by “serious academic study” is not the study of such phenomena as primitive nonsensical superstitious beliefs that might simply serve the function of bonding a society together or relieving social stress, but rather considering “spirit phenomena” objectively (if indeed such is possible – one can try to do one’s best) and ask whether or not such phenomena are genuine, and if they are, what might be the underlying causative factors. Are the spirits real? Is there a true spirit world?

Perhaps needless to say, parapsychology is itself generally considered a fringe discipline by other academics and is often dismissed out of hand. Yet over a century of serious scholarly studies of telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, unconventional medical cures, “ghost sightings”, poltergeist occurrences, psychokinesis/telekinesis, and so forth, have demonstrated that these types of phenomena genuinely occur, although granted there are also numerous cases of fraud and charlatanism (for an introduction to this field, see the 2008 anthology that I co-edited, The Parapsychology Revolution; see also Chapter 14 and Appendices 2 and 4 of Forgotten Civilization). These types of phenomena have been traditionally attributed to spirits and a spirit world. Many parapsychologists do not want to hypothesize spirits to explain the strange phenomena they study. Instead, they may invoke new discoveries or exotic phenomena in other fields, such a quantum entanglement, in an attempt to explain the telepathic transmittal of information or other paranormal incidents. But is this ultimately any more “scientific” than postulating, at least as a working hypothesis, that there might be a spirit world? Indeed, it strikes me that postulating a spirit world is not incompatible with postulating “exotic” physical processes (some of which have not even been discovered) to explain various unconventional parapsychological (paranormal) phenomena.

Maybe a spirit world exists, genuinely exists, in another realm or dimension. This is an idea that is hardly new. Across Siberia there is an often-told story about a person who accidentally visits the spirit world. Through a hole in the ground or some sort of cave, a man (or woman) unknowingly enters into the realm of the spirits, not realizing where he is. Wandering along, he comes upon a camp where there are people gathered. He attempts to interact with these people, but they step on him and bump into him. It becomes evident that they cannot see him. When the man touches any of the people, and in one version of the story when he teases some girls, they become ill. The dogs in the camp bark at the man, apparently sensing his presence. The people suspect that something is wrong, and they hire a shaman to rid them of the “evil spirit” that is plaguing them. The human man slowly comes to understand that he is among spirits, he has entered the spirit world, and from the perspective of the spirits (who consider themselves human), he is considered an evil spirit. The spirit shaman is ultimately successful and drives the human from the spirit world and he returns to the world of humans (a version of this story is recounted by Charles Stépanoff, Inner Asia, volume 11, number 2, 2009, p. 292).

One of the lessons that might be drawn from this story is that, as a group, spirits are neither all good nor all bad – just as not all humans are alike. An “evil spirit” may be nothing more than a spirit “out of place” and interacting, perhaps inadvertently, with the human realm. An accomplished shaman can redirect the misplaced spirit to the world where it belongs. Of course this does not preclude genuinely “good” or “evil” spirits, but it may well be that such appellations are often inappropriate and the majority of spirits never interact with the human realm (or vice versa).

Returning to the question of whether or not spirits might be real, might be genuine, this widespread story leads me to ponder the possibilities. Is it conceivable that there is literally a spirit world, either very different from our world, or perhaps parallel to the world of humans (as depicted in the story from Siberia)? Might a spirit world exist in another dimension or time frame that only occasionally or under peculiar circumstances intersects with, or interacts with, the world with which we are familiar? Could the spirit world be composed of some form of exotic matter that we cannot readily detect, such as the hypothetical dark matter or mirror matter of modern physics?

The concept of mirror matter is something that I find particularly fascinating. To greatly oversimply the concept, our world is composed of particles that are said to be “left-handed” at a fundamental level, and theoretically there could be matter that is “right-handed”. Such right-handed matter, or mirror matter (also known as shadow matter or Alice matter; mirror matter is not to be confused with antimatter) would create a world unto itself that is very similar to, or from a physics point of view, virtually identical to, our own world. That is, mirror matter particles would interact with each other in the same manner that ordinary particles interact with each other. But, very importantly, mirror matter particles and ordinary matter particles would barely interact with one another. A wall composed of mirror matter would not only be invisible to you, but you would be able to walk right through it. If a spirit world were composed of mirror matter, we would not normally be aware of it. (It can be argued that we should be able to detect mirror matter via gravity anomalies, but depending on the density and distribution of mirror matter, such anomalies may either effectively cancel out or be negligible, possibly beyond the reach of the most sensitive equipment currently available.) But perhaps under incredibly unusual circumstances, for we still do not actually know if mirror matter exists – although there is some evidence that it does – or exactly what all of its properties might be, we could just possibly interact with mirror matter organisms. Could a spirit world be composed of mirror matter? Could the interaction of a mirror matter world and our ordinary matter world occasionally give rise to balls of “plasma” (essentially electrically-charged particles) by a process referred to by physicists as “kinetic mixing” of mirror photons and ordinary photons, or some other interaction of mirror and ordinary subatomic particles? Could this be the explanation for the “gray blob” that Edith Turner observed emerging from the sick woman’s back? One might argue that the energies involved to create observable interactions between mirror matter and ordinary matter would be much higher than the energies observed in everyday life, but then again we really do not know, given that we do not have a good handle on the properties of mirror matter vis-à-vis ordinary matter – that is if mirror matter even exists.

Another explanation for spirits, or at least certain types of spirits or ghosts, is that they are composed of collections of hydrogen (the simplest atom) and/or subatomic particles of which hydrogen and all other atoms are composed – an idea that my wife, Catherine Ulissey, first proposed when pondering the ancient Egyptian belief that upon death we are reborn as stars in the sky. If stars are composed largely of hydrogen (hydrogen clouds which collapse into suns due to gravitational forces, as the basic theory of star formation asserts), and if some of the elements in the human body can be traced back to stars (“stardust”), then is it not reasonable to conclude that upon death our hydrogen is released from us and, being light, it floats upward to space eventually completing a grand cycle?

The basic postulate of this hypothesis is that we as living organisms with physical bodies are in large part made of hydrogen. Hydrogen is found in water (H₂O), in all of our carbon-hydrogen organic compounds and molecules, and so forth. Information can be encoded in hydrogen and the subatomic particles that make up our hydrogen just as it has been demonstrated experimentally that pure liquid water can encode information (this I discuss in Chapter 14 of Forgotten Civilization). When we physically die, some of our hydrogen (and its constituent subatomic particles) is released. This released hydrogen carries detailed information about us, and furthermore these hydrogen atoms and associated subatomic particles are, to use the jargon of quantum physics, entangled (having been closely associated in life in an organism, in a personality), and thus tend to aggregate, collect, and stay in “communication” or connected together, upon release from the body. Furthermore, when a person dies, various diverse collections of hydrogen carrying different sets of information, may be released from the physical body. If the personality, the consciousness, of a person from this life is to survive in a recognizable form in the next life, it may be important and necessary to combine and re-integrate these “psychic components” in the hereafter. Indeed, the ancient Egyptians had very complex notions of the different aspects of a person – much more sophisticated and detailed than the modern and rather simplistic notions of body, soul, and spirit. And the ancient Egyptians, as well as many other ancient and indigenous peoples, emphasized the necessity of reintegrating the “soul components” when a person passed to the other side. Modern science may once again demonstrate the truth of the insights of ancient traditions.

But here, once again, I am treading on dangerous ground – at least when it comes to academic respectability. To even discuss such matters raises suspicions amongst many of my conventional academic colleagues. It is taboo. But what about the global belief in spirits, a belief that can be traced back tens of thousands of years? All nonsense? Or, as the cliché goes, where there is smoke there is fire; is there some underlying basis for the acceptance of the spirit world? And then we have the direct testimony of Edith Turner. Perhaps the spirits do exist, but as we have accelerated our technological developments we have also pushed the spirit world ever more into the background. Then again, perhaps ultimately technology will fully reveal the realm of the spirits to us. I am not sure what to think, but it definitely makes me think.
