California calls on pension funds to divest from coal in climate change push

Senate bill to force two state pensions funds – largest in US – to ditch coal is part of effort to generate 50% of power from wind and solar and halve gasoline use

America’s biggest state pension funds came under rising pressure on Tuesday to dump coal companies from their combined $500bn portfolio, in a major escalation of the fossil fuel divestment campaign.

The California senate leader, Kevin de Leon, said he was introducing a bill on Tuesday calling on the two state funds – CalPERS, the public employees’ pension fund, and CalSTRS, the teachers’ pension funds, drop all coal holdings.

The bill is part of a larger package of climate measures – endorsed by Governor Jerry Brown – aimed at gearing up California’s efforts to fight climate change.

The former US vice-president and climate champion Al Gore spoke to the CalSTRS board in Sacramento last Friday. Gore has long argued that fossil fuels are a risky proposition as a long-term investment.

“Our state’s largest pension funds also need to keep their eyes on the future,” De Leon, a Democrat, said in an email. “With coal power in retreat, and the value of coal dropping, we should be moving our massive state portfolios to lower carbon investments and focus on the growing clean-energy economy.”

The two state funds are the biggest targets so far of a divestment movement that has moved from college campuses towards mainstream financial conversation.

CalPERS manages about $300bn in assets, including 30 coalmining companies valued at about $167m, according to a fact sheet prepared by De Leon’s office.

CalSTRS with assets of about $190bn has about $132m in coal assets.

But the divestment movement is showing momentum. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund – the legacy of a business empire founded on oil – shed all fossil fuel holdings last September. Stanford University also committed to divesting from coal companies.

Meanwhile, Harvard University is being taken to court by students for refusing to divest.

In a separate initiative, fossil fuel activists are pushing the University of California to eliminate its $90bn in fossil fuel holdings.

De Leon’s proposal calls on managers of both state funds to withdraw from all coal companies, and make no new investments in coal within 18 months after the bill becomes law.

It further calls on the two funds to explore the feasibility of expanding its divestment, by divesting entirely from fossil fuels – including natural gas – and report back to the state legislature by 2017.

CalPERS refused to respond directly to the divestment call until it had seen the proposals. “There have been no discussions or decisions on this topic,” a spokesman said in an email.

But the fund told reporters in a statement last month: “We are a founding member of the Investor Network on Climate Change and most recently we partnered with more than 100 global institutional investors, representing more than $13tn, to call on governments and policy makers to take action on carbon pricing, to provide regulatory support for energy efficiency and renewable energy, and to fully support innovation and deployment of new low-carbon technologies by the end of 2015.”

CalSTRS said it would work with the legislature. “We are not saying ‘no’. We are going to work with the legislature to come up with a solution that is amenable to all within our overall strategy, which is to double our investment in clean energy and technology over the last five years,” said Michael Sicilia, a spokesman for CalSTRS.

“We are very concerned about global climate change and the impact it has on our portfolio.”

Managers of the two funds balked when De Leon first unveiled his divestment proposals.

But divestment activists said the two funds had been amenable to shareholder pressure in the past, and that they were hopeful of negotiating a withdrawal from coal.

The divestment call was bundled with a suite of measures intended to solidify California’s efforts to fight climate change.

The proposals would commit California to generating half of its electricity from wind and solar power by 2050 – up from the current target of 33%. They also call for a 50% reduction in the use of gasoline for fuel by 2030, through a combination of fuel efficiency measures and investments in public transport. Existing buildings would be required to cut their energy use by 50%.

Brown embraced a number of those goals in his inaugural address last month.

But the measures are in for a fight from oil and electricity companies and even some Democrats, the Los Angeles Times reported.

In introducing his proposal, De Leon said he was taking his cue from the growing momentum of a divestment movement which has now spread to 300 college campuses.

“We need to listen to the values of the next generation and make sure our investment strategy reflects their priorities,” he said.

“…  4 - Energy (again)

The natural resources of the planet are finite and will not support the continuation of what you've been doing. We've been saying this for a decade. Watch for increased science and increased funding for alternate ways of creating electricity (finally). Watch for the very companies who have the most to lose being the ones who fund it. It is the beginning of a full realization that a change of thinking is at hand. You can take things from Gaia that are energy, instead of physical resources. We speak yet again about geothermal, about tidal, about wind. Again, we plead with you not to over-engineer this. For one of the things that Human Beings do in a technological age is to over-engineer simple things. Look at nuclear - the most over-engineered and expensive steam engine in existence!

Your current ideas of capturing energy from tidal and wave motion don't have to be technical marvels. Think paddle wheel on a pier with waves, which will create energy in both directions [waves coming and going] tied to a generator that can power dozens of neighborhoods, not full cities. Think simple and decentralize the idea of utilities. The same goes for wind and geothermal. Think of utilities for groups of homes in a cluster. You won't have a grid failure if there is no grid. This is the way of the future, and you'll be more inclined to have it sooner than later if you do this, and it won't cost as much.

Water

We've told you that one of the greatest natural resources of the planet, which is going to shift and change and be mysterious to you, is fresh water. It's going to be the next gold, dear ones. So, we have also given you some hints and examples and again we plead: Even before the potentials of running out of it, learn how to desalinate water in real time without heat. It's there, it's doable, and some already have it in the lab. This will create inexpensive fresh water for the planet. 

There is a change of attitude that is starting to occur. Slowly you're starting to see it and the only thing getting in the way of it are those companies with the big money who currently have the old system. That's starting to change as well. For the big money always wants to invest in what it knows is coming next, but it wants to create what is coming next within the framework of what it has "on the shelf." What is on the shelf is oil, coal, dams, and non-renewable resource usage. It hasn't changed much in the last 100 years, has it? Now you will see a change of free choice. You're going to see decisions made in the boardrooms that would have curled the toes of those two generations ago. Now "the worst thing they could do" might become "the best thing they could do." That, dear ones, is a change of free choice concept. When the thinkers of tomorrow see options that were never options before, that is a shift. That was number four. ….”

US launches plan to halt decline of monarch butterfly

$2m to be spent on growing milkweed and other butterfly-friendly plants along main migration routes from Minnesota to Mexico as population slumps by 90%

The Obama administration and conservation groups launched a plan on Monday to halt the death spiral of the monarch butterfly.

The most familiar of American butterflies, known for their extraordinary migration from Mexico through the mid-west to Canada, monarch populations have plummetted 90% over the past 20 years.

Fewer than 50m butterflies made it to Mexico last winter – a fraction of the population once estimated at 1bn.

Those numbers mirror the sharp declines of honey bees in recent years. 

“We need to turn that around,” Dan Ashe, director of US Fish and Wildlife Service, told the Guardian. “If you look at the 20-year trend definitely monarchs are at risk of vanishing.”

The USFWS will spend $2m (£1.3m) and work with the National Wildlife Federation and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to grow milkweed and other butterfly-friendly plants along the monarchs’ main migration routes from Minnesota to Mexico.

The initiative aims to restore more than 200,000 acres of habitat through the spring breeding grounds of Texas and Oklahoma and summer breeding areas in the Corn Belt, tracking closely to the I-35 highway from Austin, Texas to St Paul, Minnesota.

There are also plans to promote wildflowers such as goldenrod and aster along pipeline and electricity lines.

Monarch populations have fallen precipitously over the past 20 years because of changes in farming methods, and the destruction of milkweed that is the caterpillars’ main habitat.

The idea is to get populations back up to 1bn.

Monarchs showed a slight rebound this year, because of good weather. “That’s a sign we haven’t yet reached any disastrous tipping point,” Ashe said. “If the habitat improves, if we make more habitat for them, then the population still seems to have the ability to respond.”

The Centre for Biological Diversity went to court last August to seek protection for the monarch under the endangered species act. Ashe said the petition presented “substantive evidence” for such protections, and the government was studying the case.

The centre welcomed the new initiative – but said protecting the monarchs would be far more effective.

“I think it’s great that this voluntary stuff is going to happen,” said Tierra Curry of the Centre for Biological Diversity. “But if the monarch does get protected that will open up a lot more funding to protect habitat.”

She went on: “It’s going to take a massive amount of investment and a massive amount of milkweed to reverse the decline.”

Kadin and Medco’s Novel CSR Initiative Helps to Light Up Aceh

The Indonesian Chambers of Commerce and Industry, known as Kadin, together with Aceh’s provincial government and  listed oil and gas company Medco Energi Internasional, initiated an energy solution program in Aceh.

On Friday, Kadin, Medco and provincial officials from Aceh held a ceremony for the “We Light Up Indonesia” program, where Aceh Governor Zaini Abdullah and East Aceh district head Hasbullah Bin M. Thaib symbolically received a LED Sunlife Super Bright, a solar-powered light that can shine four times brighter than normal LEDs and can last for up to 30 hours when fully charged.

LEDs will be installed in 50 locations, which will be decided by Kadin’s Aceh chapter, the 
local government and local leaders.

“Considering many people in rural areas of Indonesia haven’t yet enjoyed electricity, Kadin … took the initiative to start a program to supply environmentally friendly electricity,” said Shinta Kamdani, chairwoman of Kadin’s division that deals with environment, climate change and sustainable development.

“Kadin hopes this program can 
improve the quality of life of people and help stimulate the economic growth in the region,” she said.

Lukman Mahfoedz, president and chief executive of Medco Energi, said the program is part of Medco Energi’s sustainable corporate social 
responsibility program.

International media reported in January that Medco Group had signed a gas sales deal worth $2 billion to underpin development of the company’s field in the onshore Block A in East Aceh regent.

Aceh Governor Zaini has 
expressed his appreciation of the initiative and hoped the 
program will be continued by other companies in the region.

Scientists predict Earth-like planets around most stars

Australian National University, 5 February 2015

Planetary scientists have calculated that there are hundreds of billions of Earth-like planets in our galaxy which might support life.

The new research, led by PhD student Tim Bovaird and Associate Professor Charley Lineweaver from The Australian National University (ANU), made the finding by applying a 200 year old idea to the thousands of exo-planets discovered by the Kepler space telescope.

They found the standard star has about two planets in the so-called goldilocks zone, the distance from the star where liquid water, crucial for life, can exist.

“The ingredients for life are plentiful, and we now know that habitable environments are plentiful,” said Associate Professor Lineweaver, from the ANU Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics and the Research School of Earth Sciences.

“However, the universe is not teeming with aliens with human-like intelligence that can build radio telescopes and space ships. Otherwise we would have seen or heard from them.

“It could be that there is some other bottleneck for the emergence of life that we haven’t worked out yet. Or intelligent civilisations evolve, but then self-destruct.”

The Kepler space telescope is biased towards seeing planets very close to their stars, that are too hot for liquid water, but the team extrapolated from Kepler’s results using the theory that was used to predict the existence of Uranus.

“We used the Titius-Bode relation and Kepler data to predict the positions of planets that Kepler is unable to see,” Associate Professor Lineweaver said.

The research is published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Itis available online.

"Common Questions from Non-Lightworkers" - Feb 2012 (Kryon Channelling by Lee Carroll)

"... Question Three: Is there life on other planets?

Are you kidding? There's life everywhere. Everywhere! Right now, your scientists are searching for microbial life on all the planets and their moons in your solar system, and they will eventually find it. They expect to find it. They will eventually understand that the seeds of life are everywhere.

How much life might there be? How long has it been "out there"? When science starts to realize the scope of how long life has been in your galaxy, they will begin to see something counterintuitive to evolution - their own Human history. How old is your Universe? Ask your scientists and they will say about 13 billion years. That's OK. Let's use their numbers. How old is your own planet - 4 or 5 billion, perhaps? Correct. But how old is humanity? Why weren't you here with the dinosaurs? You think the earth wasn't ready? Do you think that perhaps that which controls evolution was a little too stupid to make a Human sooner, but the process could make a dinosaur? Have you ever thought about these things?

If you put the earth's entire history into a 24-hour clock, life itself only started in the last hour and humanity, all of civilization, happened the last few seconds. Isn't that odd to you? Therefore, in a Universe that may be 13 billion years old, you arrived in the last few seconds. Did you ever think maybe you're the newest ones on the block? Well, you'd be right.

If the Universe is really that old, do you think perhaps there are civilizations in your galaxy that might be a billion or more years older than you? If that's the case, do you think perhaps they have gone through anything you're going through? Do you think any of them might have had your DNA attributes? Perhaps they also went through what you are going through spiritually? Perhaps they even went into a quantum ascension status? The answer is dozens of them.

You already know them and you've listed them in your publications. The ones who directly seeded you are called Pleiadians. The ones who seeded them might be Octurian and the ones who seeded them may be even Orion. They're everywhere, and they're all here as well. They're looking at you, for you are the ones who are next, and you are passing this marker of the shift

Oh, dear ones, it's going to be a long time before you really know any of these things to be your reality. The first step is peace on Earth. The next is a new kind of Human evolution that is going to increase your DNA efficiency to 100% and you're going to live a long time. Every time I say that, there are Humans in their intellectual mind saying, "Well, there is a geometric birth rate going on. We're not going to make it. It's going to over-crowd and we are going to run out of food. So what you're saying, Kryon, can't be a good thing. We're all going to be suffering and killing each other for food."

Let me address this, for if that is your thought, Human, you are assuming Humans are stupid and haven't figured out what's going on and why there's so much birth. You assume they can't control it because they haven't figured it out? I want to tell you, you're going to see something you didn't expect. You're going to see a decline in birth rate because Humans are smart and they're getting smarter. They're going to see that quality of life is linked to the number of children they have, and they're going to figure out the solution. It won't be how many children their church says they should have. They are going to do it intuitively. You're going to see it sooner than not.

You are going to see wisdom on the planet in many areas that no sociologist would ever have predicted. You will surprise them all, and it's going to happen without a government program. It's going to happen because you decide you want it. It's going to happen collectively, and you may even see it soon. Look for negative birth rates in first-world countries. Where Humans are able to see a larger picture and have freedom of information, the situation will not be what you have predicted.

Is there life on other planets? The scientists are saying, "It's going to be a long time before we get to the stars, you know? We have to get in this little metal can and put air in it, and then travel in it for years and years before we ever get to the next star." Meanwhile, a Pleiadian can do it in the blink of an eye! What do you think is going on there? Do you even believe me?

Not long ago, if you wanted to communicate to someone far away, you sent a letter. It was carried by a horse. It took a month to get a response. Now you communicate instantly!  Why is this so unbelievable to you about travel?

I will tell you, as long as you stay in 3D, you'll still be getting in little metal cans and air suits and going to planets. As soon as you begin the quantum age, however, you will simply wish yourself there, because you will be entangled with everything and can go with intent. If you don't believe this now, you will later, for what I give you is true. It may be lifetimes and lifetimes from now, but the group that is before me is the group that is going to come back over and over and over. The difference is that you're done coming back in an old energy. This is a new energy. ..”

Health sector should divest from fossil fuels, medical groups say

Health profession should repeat its leadership on tobacco divestment because of health risks from climate change and air pollution, says Medact and other groups

The Guardian, Damian Carrington, Wednesday 4 February 2015

The health sector should get rid of its fossil fuel investments on moral grounds, as it previously did with its tobacco investments, according to a report by a coalition of medical organisations.

The report cites climate change as “the biggest global health threat of the 21st century” and says air pollution from fossil fuels also causes millions of premature deaths a year. The organisations argue that the health sector, and in particular the £18bn Wellcome Trust, should not be helping to fund the harm they exist to tackle.

“The link between fossil fuels, air pollution and climate change are clear, and the health impacts are unacceptably high,” said Dr David McCoy, director of health charity Medact, which produced the report with the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare, the Climate and Health Council, Healthy Planet UK, and Medsin. “This report sends an unequivocal message that the health sector should end its financial association with the fossil fuel industry.”

The report argues that the tobacco and fossil fuel industries have both worked to create doubt about the harm the use of their products can cause.

“The UK health profession led the way in the tobacco divestment movement two decades ago, putting the issue firmly on the political agenda and paving the way for stronger anti-tobacco legislation,” writes public health professor Martin McKee, at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, in the report. “This report shows why, in 2015, fossil fuels can no longer be considered an ethical investment. This is one of the defining challenges of our time.”

The members of the British Medical Association have already voted to divest from fossil fuels, the first health organisation in the world to do so. But the Wellcome Trust has rejected the call.

“Climate change is one of the greatest contemporary challenges to global health, and the Wellcome Trust has made understanding the connections between environment, nutrition and health one of our five key research challenges,” said a spokesman for the Wellcome Trust, one of the world’s biggest funders of medical research. “We understand the aims of the campaign to encourage divestment from fossil fuel industries. We do not however support the approach and continue to believe that engagement offers a better prospect for change than divestment.”

The Trust was unable to give the Guardian examples of its engagement with fossil fuel companies. Its endowment, worth £18bn in total, has £450m invested in Shell, BP, Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton alone. But the Trust was unable to tell the Guardian the value of its total fossil fuel holdings.

The report also calls for the UK’s medical Royal Colleges to divest. A spokeswoman for the Royal College of Surgeons said: “We will review the findings of the report and any implications for our investment portfolio.”

Over 180 institutions, including city authorities, universities and churches, have already committed to divesting $50 billion of fossil fuel investments, a move backed by South African anti-apartheid campaigner Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

The world’s governments have pledged to limit carbon emissions so that global warming is kept below a 2C danger limit. A series of analyses have found this means much of the world’s known and exploitable fossil fuels will have to remain unburned. A comprehensive scientific study in January found 80% of coal reserves, 50% of gas reserves and 33% of oil reserves would have to remain in the ground.

Analysts warn that these unburnable fossil fuel reserves will become worthless if government’s act on their pledge, creating a significant financial risk to investors. World Bank president Jim Yong Kim, and Bank of England head Mark Carney have both warned of the risk, as does the new report.

Recently, Axa Investment Managers warned the reputation of fossil fuel companies were at immediate risk from the divestment campaign and Shell backed a shareholder demand to assess whether the company’s business model is compatible with global goals to tackle climate change.

Alistair Wardrope, student doctor and co-author of the new report, said: “People worldwide are already dying as a result of the health impacts of fossil fuels, but tomorrow’s doctors will have to cope with the full extent of climate change’s health cost. We have a responsibility to our future patients to ensure that health organisations are not funding the biggest global health threat of the 21st century.”

This live channelling was Given in Newport, California

Lee Carroll

To help the reader, this channelling has been revisited [by Lee and Kryon] to provide even clearer understanding. Sometime information is even added. Often what happens live has implied energy within it, which carries a kind of communication that the printed page does not. So enjoy this enhanced message given in Neport on December 7, 2014.

Greetings, dear ones, I am Kryon of Magnetic Service. This particular channelling will be filled with information, as it often is, but there is also something else that we offer. We're coming to the close of your calendar year 2014. It's normally a time for reflection and, in this particular room, the energy that we wish to generate with the entourage around you is that of congratulations.

I want you to sit and bask in honor and, in these next moments, I would like you to try to disengage from the issues and the problems that you came with. As you sit there, if you have pain in your body - disengage. If you have pain in your heart - disengage. Corporeally, we understand fully that you are what you are, and you must go through what you go through, but you have the power to disengage from it for a while - for the next few moments.

No matter what the message is to follow, or whatever is said, there is another energy that pervades the room. It sits and hovers over you, looks at you, remembers you, is thankful for you, and knows you. Even as we begin the information, we ask that the multiplicity of the messages going out be felt and understood and enjoyed to their fullest, within these moments.

The Premise of Cellular Evolution

If you are listening or reading this, and you are not in this physical meeting, we need to review something - a premise. There are some scientists and researchers who believe that the Human brain contains everything it ever could contain. That is to say, it contains genius, intelligence, manifestation over physics, and mastery in every single Human cell. But those attributes are locked away and, somehow, depending upon the chemistry and the energy that is multidimensional in every Human brain, there is a posturing of energy that keeps it locked out. The belief is that perhaps, at the right time, certain energies will come along and unlock it. This is the theory - that Humans are complete and developed and ready for everything.

Now, that theory opposes the other theory that tells you that the Human brain is not complete and it is a product of continuing and future cellular evolution to come. It says that you are no smarter than the full ability of the body to be smart. There's nothing in your body beyond what you see, and you will grow cells eventually to create a more evolved Human Being. Between these two theories, I will tell you that the former one is the accurate one. Evolution from now on will be energy based, not chemical based, and will unlock hidden wisdom and cellular efficiency - something that is already there and built-in.

Sometimes the proof of this premise comes in odd ways, dear ones, and you see it and you don't know what to make of it. A brain injury will cause an Akashic remembrance to be triggered, and an artist will spring up instantly where that Human was never an artist before. Sometimes something will happen, a hit on the head, a blow perhaps, where a genius will be produced where there was none before. These are the small evidences you have that perhaps the former theory is absolutely true, one that says, "Inside you is everything waiting to come out."

Take a look at spontaneous remission, for it's a puzzle, and some think it's a miracle. How could the body possibly instantly cure itself of some of the worst imbalances and diseases known to mankind? Yet it happens repeatedly. So you come into the area of what we've been teaching, which is spiritual logic. Take a look at what I've said in the past: The old energy, which is on this planet now, has locked your DNA at approximately 33 percent to 34 percent. The long-lived and wise masters who walked on this planet had theirs at 80 percent to 90 percent. Everything they did was to show you what you could do. We have been teaching this over and over. Let this be the premise at which we begin.

The Physics of It: A Review

Now for some physics, and I'll call it spiritual physics so it's not too complicated. In 1993, we gave you a book called The End Times. In this book, we made some statements. We talked about the magnetic grid of the earth, and we told you that it had to be there for Human life to exist - and it does. At the time, science didn't agree, but now many are seeing it. We went on to give you the esoterics of it, what my partner calls the woo-woo part. Your DNA, a multidimensional molecule, has within it everything that the Universe knows. It carries your Akashic Record, all of your lifetimes, all of your spiritual purpose, your spiritual being and your karma. Everything is in your DNA. This will never be proven, since it's a spiritual attribute. The DNA creates a field and it's called the Merkabah (a Hebrew word).

We also told you that the magnetic grid of the earth, a multidimensional energy, transfers certain things to your DNA on a day-by-day basis. The grid then becomes a major energy transfer system. That should have connected the dots for some of those who were paying attention - for if the grid changes, dear ones, you do, too. I told you the grid would change more in 10 years than it had in 100, and it did. You can measure your magnetic grid's movement with a compass. Between 1993 and 2002, it moved greatly, more than in any other time in modern Human history. We said this would be, and so it was. Our grid group left in 2002, as we told you we would.

Again, those paying attention should have known something was happening. I also told you within those initial transmissions back then that you would have no Armageddon, and you did not. Also, that there would be no World War III, and there wasn't. In the face of all the prophecy that told you differently, we told you there was a potential for Human Beings to pass the marker, survive, and start a new energy on the planet. We told you this would be the start of peace on Earth, and this is where you sit today. All of those years ago, we told you about the potential of where you sit today, listening to this message, and asking what might be next. So I'll label the channel right now: The Energy of the Future.

The Energy of the Future

Last week, I gave you a channelling of what to expect within the next three years. The message tonight will talk to you about the energies that are going to be manifested beyond that and some of the changes to expect and why they are taking place. You may want to listen to this channel a number of times to put it together, for there are reviews and new information.

So before we begin, what have we established?

Number One: Locked into the Human body via your DNA is brilliance and mastery, working at approximately 34 percent.

Number Two: The magnetic grid of the planet postures everything to do with your DNA. It also has much to do with what you call Human nature, what you want and what you've created. It seems static, never changing, and has been seen as "the way it is". However, we will call it the temporary lock on DNA. You see, when your Human consciousness and spiritual maturity starts to move in the next years, your DNA will start to change. This has nothing to do with chemistry, but everything to do with energy stored within it, and rewriting the data. New energies will unlock certain parts that have been locked, some of them being the very parts that I've just told you about at the beginning of this channelling - the things that are puzzling regarding healing and the Akash.

The Nodes and Nulls - Energies for the Future

Now, let's go a step further. Within the last two years, we told you about the opening of the nodes and the nulls, the time capsules of the planet that were waiting for this new energy. We told you who put them there, and that the creative source itself is responsible. We told you that they have been there for more than 100,000 years, waiting to be opened if you would pass the marker, and you just did. They are opening slowly, and we have identified them and have matched up some of the pairs for you. [www.kryon.com/nodes] They're beginning to open.

What do they do? I'll tell you. They pour out information onto the magnetic, Crystalline and Gaia grids - the three active interpersonal grids of this planet, the ones that interface between you and your consciousness. That's where their information goes. Isn't it interesting? The information does not go directly into your consciousness, but into the grids. Now, this allows for free choice, for it's not put into your mind. That would void free choice. Instead, it's put upon the grid. With free choice, any Human can ignore anything I'm saying and walk out of this room. He can say, "The man in the chair is a fraud. The information is ridiculous; it's stupid!" At the same time, sitting next to this doubter will be someone who is being miraculously healed this day. That's the difference. Free choice to accept or reject things around you is the key to honoring your individual consciousness.

The New Approaching Energy of Space

If you could see multidimensional energies, and you had the ability to stand back and watch your solar system as it raced around the middle of the galaxy, you could see a ribbon of energy that you are currently intersecting. Right now, your solar system, you might say, has been in a bubble of protective energy since life began on this planet. This is an astronomical measurement and is known by science. It even has a name. So this is not esoteric. As this bubble dissipates and you move into a new area of space, this ribbon of energy that you are now intersecting is different. In fact, it represents higher energy, and some might even call it radiation.

As your solar system moves firmly into it, it's the first time that this has ever occurred with Humans on the earth. It takes millions of years for your solar system to make one revolution around the center. Therefore, you were not here the last time this took place. You are now sanctioned with the consciousness of the creative seed in you, and here comes the radiation, right on schedule. We have said this before and we have channelled this, for this is not new information. But now we put it together.

The first thing that this radiation intercepts is the largest thing in your solar system - your sun. The sun is a nuclear engine, and it has the most energy of your system. The new radiation interfaces with your sun and immediately the sun will change its energy. The sun will then blast this new information through the solar wind (the heliosphere of the sun) right to the earth. It will immediately be intercepted by your magnetic grid (as normal), for your magnetic grid always intercepts any energy from the heliosphere. The heliosphere (the magnetic grid of the sun) overlaps the magnetic grid of the earth, and the information transfer is complete through something called inductance. Now it's in your magnetic grid. As a review, remember that we have taught you that whatever attribute is in your magnetic grid is then transmitted to your DNA. Connect the dots from a 25-year-old message: The new energy affects the sun. The sun gives the energy to your grid, and your grid gives it to your DNA. You are affected.

The New 'Message' from Space

Let me tell you what the message is that is being communicated: Unlock to 44 percent! This is the message: The Human race has passed the marker and is ready for the next step in evolution. I am talking about the old soul. You are the ones who will be first to get this message. It is you, and some of your "old soul" children, who are starting to feel and accept this!

Let me tell you in this lesson today that the first thing that this unlocking will begin to create is what we're going to call Akashic acuity. You're going to start remembering, and it's about time. Can you celebrate this? It's about time that when you're born you don't start from scratch, in the dark, and doing everything all over again. Instead, you remember!

I want to talk to some individuals who are listening to this and are in this room. Have your grandchildren had the audacity to tell you who they used to be? Don't raise your hand; I know you're here. They feel it, and they know it, and out of the mouths of these babes come the most profound information that this planet has ever heard! They knew who they were! Some will point their fingers at you and say, “Don't you remember? I was your mum in another life.” That's a bit disconcerting, isn't it?

I want you to remember one of the premises of incarnation, the one that we have given you over and over. You incarnate in family groups. There's a reason for this, so there is comfort and joy. It's so you don't have to learn the energy of each related person, all over again, each time. The energies of the family stay together and you can accomplish more that way. There's always a benevolent reason for these things. Every single attribute of the esoteric system of life, whether it's your grids or reincarnation, is benevolent. Did you hear that? It's a beautiful system, and not random. It's not about judgment; it's not about punishment. It is, instead, about the love of God for you, and what I'm about to tell you is what is changing is energy.

Akashic Acuity

So we have established that you are moving into this new radiation, and we have established that it intersects the sun. The sun blasts your magnetic field with it (via the solar wind) and the magnetic field talks to your DNA. Suddenly, there is the potential some of your DNA is being unlocked. The attributes of unlocking Akashic acuity will help you to remember who you've been. Now, with this remembrance comes energy - not about who you were, but rather it gives you the energy of what you did. I don't mean physically; I mean energetically and mentally. Old souls carry with them experience. When you look into the eyes of a child, you're going to see wisdom just waiting to break out. Dear ones, these children are different. They are not going to go through what you did! They have a whole new set of issues, and most of their issues are trying to navigate the old issues you create for them!

There's something we brought up in a former channelling called the wisdom factor. Now, the wisdom factor is caused by Akashic acuity. After living Human life over and over, you start remembering the wisdom that you have gained through these past lifetimes. You don't necessarily remember who you were, but rather the fact that you were at all and the experiences you had. Imagine a child coming into the planet knowing how to read? Imagine a child coming into the planet knowing not to touch something hot? Where did it come from? You're going to see more of this, and a feeling of "been there, done that".

Akashic acuity is remembrance of experience during past lifetimes. As the child grows, that remembrance becomes pure wisdom. As the child starts to awaken and the pineal opens, something else happens. The grid starts talking to the child through the DNA, and in the grid is also the information from the time capsules we spoke about in past channellings. The time capsules start feeding the planet with increased wisdom and knowledge. You don't have to reincarnate to awaken even further! Akashic acuity means suddenly Humans know more than other children have in the past - much more.

Fast Tracking

This is the plan, and it's a fast-track system, an energy system for planetary ascension. It's going to take a long time to implement, dear ones, but it's beginning right now. You're going to see marginal evidence of this beginning to happen in 2015, 2016, 2017. You're going to see it slightly in many places. These energies take a long time to mature, and they're not all going to happen fast and instantaneous. Some of you are going to be convinced that the world is going through a dark place and you're all going with it. This is because you don't see the changes for what they are, and you don't understand what is really happening. We've said it before, that when you shine a lot of light in a dark place, the things that were always in the dark object. That's what you're seeing now, and you'll see more of it. These dark things were always there, but they just didn't have the light on them that you're placing on them now.

Awareness of Self

Akashic acuity creates wisdom, and that wisdom translates into something else that we wish to tell you about. How do I present this case? When organisms become more complex, they work better. More cells together coalesce and communicate and work better. As you evolved as a life-force, systems became more elaborate and more mature. You ended up with the Human Being, who finally has what we would call sentience. That is to say, they are aware that you are here. I will give you another channelling soon that will actually explain the evolution of life on earth. Cells of life reproduce, live, and consume energy that you haven't seen in science yet.

Awareness of self is one of the first attributes of spiritual intelligence, and here you sit with it. Today, you are much, much higher in evolvement than the animals just below you. You look into their eyes and you can see emotion and love, and you can see intelligence, but they don't know who they are, not really - not like you do. Your brain is the best one on the planet, and that happened because it got more complex and systems worked together in ways you haven't figured out yet.

Now, why do I tell you this? This is because this basic truth is not reflected at all socially. Did you ever notice that the larger the organization, the more dysfunctional it becomes? Now, may I make the point to you that this is exactly the opposite from what has happened over time with cellular structure? There's something missing! The cells coordinate with each other in ways that you have not discovered yet. One knows what the other is doing, and there is a chemical and electrical balance that occurs. They all try to balance together. That's the beauty of a system that has coalescence and coherence. It puts together everything so that all have the same information and all work toward the same intelligent goal. How can you have trillions and trillions of cells in the Human body all working together, living for a long time, cooperating and doing their best to stay alive, yet you put several hundred people together and they're dysfunctional?

You know I'm right. The larger the social organization, the worse it works. Then you get into government. I don't have to tell you. It would appear in some cases that the organization is actually stupid because there's too many of them trying to do the same thing. What is wrong with this picture? Let me show you this, because it's going to change.

Coalescing Consciousness

Here is a new phrase: Coalescing consciousness. Human Beings are going to start having the same kind of attributes of consciousness that your cells enjoy. They'll be connected. They will start to know what the other one is thinking. Not personally or privately, but intellectually and cooperatively. Common sense will be the guide. You'll find something very soon that you never thought could happen: Large organizations will start to function much better than they have. We have even spoken about a day when there could be manager-less cooperation. This is all part of it, dear one. Can you imagine a situation where no one is in charge? This can only happen if all of the individuals knew the issues together. You see what I'm saying?

This, dear ones, is the wisdom factor. Can you imagine how this will affect everything? Let's start simply: Relationships, business in general, corporations, politics and governments. If consciousness is physics (as I have mentioned), that means there are absolute physical rules of wisdom, and that means it can be seen and worked with.

Do you remember that radiation that's coming your way in the solar system? Do you remember that it's going to hit the magnetic grid? All of this is going to start unlocking your DNA. It will only unlock what you have free choice to accept, dear ones. It won't happen to you unless you give permission for it. My job is to tell you to watch for it!

You're all coming back, and I've told you this. Regardless of what your tired body says now, you are returning. Imagine a young body with the knowledge that you gained this time around, where you won't have to make the same mistakes! You will be coming in fresh, looking good, and remembering! You're not going to miss this party, dear ones. Every single time when I've seen you on my side of the veil, you can hardly wait to go at it again, especially if there's some redemption coming. You've spent a lot of time fighting the old energy, dear ones. Now, why not enjoy what you've paid for and earned? There's more.

The Playground, Again

We told you last week that the metaphor of all of this is the children in the playground. Can you remember what it was like in the playground? Do you remember the bullies? Do you remember feeling inadequate or maybe you were a bully? You may have acted out whatever it was you did in your juvenile consciousness, and other children did the same. It was survival, and you did whatever you could to hold your own.

But this changed as you grew up, and as young adults, you didn't do playground things anymore. You didn't tease or throw rocks or call names. Now you knew better because you had grown up and were wiser. Now, think of a humanity that never got out of the playground until now. In this new post-2012 energy, you are given the tools of the maturity that you've earned. You see civilization with new eyes, and the playground starts to disappear. Wisdom begins to figure it out.

Dear ones, you're not going to have humanity go into this new wisdom as long as they are warring barbarians. By the way, that's all you've done through eons! You've learned how to kill each other better and better through the years, and suddenly the consciousness is changing. Humans are starting to realize on a grand scale that "this is not what we want." Oh, believe me, there's going to be continuous argument with that, but slowly the majority will have this realization.

Just as in real life, you realize some of the bullies never grew up and are still playing by "playground rules". You're seeing some of them on the planet right now. They would love to take the old, dark energy and put it right back where it was before 2012. They would love to make you afraid, but it's not going to happen. Wisdom is changing.

Your innate is going to start changing. Innate is the smart body intelligence (that's the energy you muscle test to communicate with). The bridge between the corporeal and the innate is missing, and it's going to start being constructed. Let me put this in simple terms. You will eventually be your own medical intuitive. You'll know what's going on in every organ in your body and in every gland - you'll know if there's balance in your blood! Don't you think your brain should let you know that? Your innate already knows it! It's always trying to balance itself, and the only thing it left out is your consciousness! Does this current system sound complete to you? It's not working well. But when you start operating at 44 percent, this becomes a reality. This is just the beginning, dear ones.

Imagine a Human Being who would know these things. You may look at them and say they are a super-person. How can they have that? Welcome to the future! Peace on Earth is just the beginning and it's a no-brainer, as my partner would say, because it automatically comes with wisdom. You stopped beating each other up on the playground when you got to be an adult. You developed a maturity and a little bit of elegance. Your agenda changed, and you had to get along.

That's what we are looking at for this planet! That's our prediction. It's not immediate, but it starts now. We are giving you the ABCs of how this works so that it will be real to you when it happens. This explanation is so you will understand it's not a magic potion of energy that's going to sweep over the earth and cause peace. It's not. The engine of it comes from your DNA, your wisdom, your incarnations and with what you decide to do. That's the message. It's work!

Now, there are always those who would say “How soon? It all sounds so good." I want you to remember: Some of you were here 20 years ago when my partner brought me to a room very similar to this and for the first time he allowed me to open up and give you messages. At that point in time, we gave you information that is now right in front of you, happening. We saw the potentials of what would be and what you would do. It was not a wasted prophecy, for it happened!

Spirit does not know the future, for that's free choice of humanity. But we know the patterns that have happened before on other planets. We've seen what you're doing now, and we've seen an overview that no Human Being can see. We know what's going on in the cracks. We see things you wouldn't believe, all of which are pushing you forward. How soon? This is up to you. There are so many things in your favor, and this includes that which is happing in your solar system, which is on schedule for the new Human.

The precession of the equinoxes and the end of 2012 marked the beginning of a Human consciousness that starts to go into maturity. This was the prophecy of the Ancients. Next, there is an age of getting used to it. I'm not going to tell you how long that's going to last. On other planets, it was amazingly short. The potential is there for you to get through this quickly. Dear ones, you have paid the price for this. All of the lifetimes of working this puzzle have culminated to this point, and now you are having the freedom to see the end of it. It takes adjustment to move from the old to the new, and in the adjustment a recalibration of finding a new frequency is upon you. Getting out of fear is upon you.

Finally, I will say to you something that I have said before, and I want you to hear it again and again. The reason for repetition is so you will understand what you see. The darkness will try to win now that the light has been turned on. They have one tool, which is potent - really potent. This tool can get to the highest of the high and ruin them. It can get to the Lightworker, the healer and the channeller. It's a four-letter word called fear.

If you're afraid, then they have won. I want you to think about that. They know this. Let your light shine through this in such an amazing way that there is no longer a horrible, controlling four-letter word. It doesn't even exist. March through these times and remember them, for you expected them and worked toward them. Work toward the new four-letter word - LOVE.

Stay a moment and celebrate each other.

And so it is.
