Newsletter 20:  Shifting Towards a State of Heart Centeredness

Welcome to 2010 - a year of expansion, growth, creativity and fun. This is definitely the year - energetically and numerologically - to make the very most of every opportunity that comes your way. 2009 was a heavy year - a year of purging, letting go and releasing anything and everything that was no longer relevant to your wellbeing. Instead of repeating what I often share in my teachings and with clients I am going to hand over this Newsletter to the words of Edgar Cayce. The channeling below was published in the Sedona Journal of Emergence, in their 2010 and Beyond edition, December 2009. Take from it what resonates with you. However, I'm aware that I could not express as eloquently the thoughts shared in this channeling. If you are not on my mailing list to receive the transcripts of Edgar Cayce channelings and would like to do so please email me at bhansen9@hotmail.com with the words Edgar Cayce Channeling in the subject line and you will be included in future mail-outs.

"Greetings. Greetings. As you well know I always am delighted to respond when you ask me to speak. You have even defined the topic! That is interesting, for as you know it is my tendency to discourse on topics that I know are of relevance to the large audience that these messages reach. Yet, within the definition or the scope of the topic you have provided there is much opportunity to address many of the subjects or areas that are dear to me.

As always I find it interesting that there is so much focus and attention addressed to knowing what is going to happen. It is this timeless human desire to know that all is well and that all will be well, the desire to know in advance what is likely to unfold in order to be better prepared for that unfoldment. Yet, in reality, for most people many of the situations that arise in their lives do so unexpectedly, often with no obvious forewarning. This is due largely to the lack of awareness or because their interests are so focused in the future or the past that they overlook the signs of what is occurring in the present moment.

However, enough of that! The topic is 2010 and Beyond. Now as we near the end of 2009 I know there will be many in this readership who will be saying, ‘Oh what a relief. 2009 has been an eventful year.’ For many it has been calamitous. For others it has been challenging, and for some there have been so many incidents, issues and situations that have arisen so that 2009 could readily be viewed as the year in which life took control. By this I mean, that rather than the individual taking control, the tables have been turned and life, the events of life, the unfoldment of issues and situations, have determined what has occurred during 2009.

Time is Compressing into Now Time!

In actual fact, what has really taken place is that there has been an escalation in the energies that are affecting human evolvement. As such, these energies are increasing in intensity and are bringing to the surface for each and every individual many opportunities for letting of old belief systems, limiting attitudes and perspectives, fears and resistance. 2009 has afforded splendid opportunity for magnificent spiritual growth. All this is leading to the transformation of human consciousness. Yes, this you well know, but for many you were not aware the journey would be this uncomfortable.

Time as you know it is compressing. Compressing in such a way you will find that no sooner does one thing happen, or one event occur in your life, that you have no time for reflection, no time to ponder, to think about it or to even respond before another event occurs, then another.  All these incidents and issues that occur, one after the other after the other are not occurring because you are meant to be overwhelmed. They are occurring to support your ability to live in the moment. As you learn to deal with each issue you will find your focus becomes more present. In that present focus you will soon find yourself feeling more centered and stable, able to give the attention to whatever crisis, issue or situation is drawing your attention. As you become more focused and able to do this you will find the many issues or chaos that occur will become less and less. Oh, these last few years, since the turn of the millennium have indeed been intense.

For many life feels as though it is driven, or experienced, at top speed. Visualize yourself driving a vehicle. When you first get into your vehicle you warm it up gradually - whether your vehicle has automatic or stick transmission is irrelevant. The vehicle warms up gradually until such time it gets to a speed where it builds up the revs and is able to drive effectively in top gear. In terms of your lives and experiences you are now functioning in top gear. There is less time for inner reflection. The moments for you to look back and plan forward are decreasing, and this is of necessity. What has begun will continue in order to support you through a significant transformation.

The Paradigm Shift is Happening Now!

Let us now explore how this transformation is unfolding. From many perspectives life seems to be challenging, if not chaotic. There is no doubt there are many individuals who are wondering just what they have signed up for. They are questioning their reasoning for being here at this time. Yet, on a deeper level, this is as it is meant to be. For those who understand the dynamics of the transformation I know that you are excited to be here. You will walk your journey in a state of feeling focused and centered, knowing full well that all is unfolding and transpiring in a way that is shifting humanity gracefully and confidently to another way of being.

Humanity, as such, is undergoing a massive paradigm shift. There is no other way to express it. This is the shift that all souls who are in body have chosen to experience. Such gallant beings, such courageous souls, knowing full well that your journey this lifetime would be the culmination of many lifetime journeys. In undertaking this particular lifetime you knew you would be healing the suffering, pain and karma of all prior lifetimes. Not only that, you also have embodied to support, to support, this beautiful planet as she, too, undergoes a major transformation.

Feelings of Heart Centeredness Will Predominate!

The transformation of which many others and I speak is not about an external transformation. It is an inner transformation. It is a transformation that is leading to a state of heart centeredness. Heart centeredness is a way of functioning that is very different to how most people are used to functioning. Over the last several thousand years of your civilization the predominant means of functioning has been through the mind. The mind has been greatly valued. It has been viewed as the tool by which one gauges one’s success, one’s intelligence and one’s functioning within a very linear world. As you move into 2010 and beyond you will find a significant, and at time a halting journey - a journey where you will be hesitant, possibly even reluctant, to become more heart centered.

2010 will provide many opportunities to become more feeling and to work with those feelings. This will mean, in many instances, that the feeling response will override the logical response. This also means that the feeling response will gradually become more acceptable and more valued within society. It is very easy to focus on the feeling response when calamity and disaster occur. There have been many of those opportunities in recent years. However, there is now upon this beautiful planet many clusters of light beings who are emitting, with such powerful resonance, this heart centered feeling that the impact of this resonance is beginning to be felt by those who have not previously understood, or even connected with, their own state of feeling.

In shifting to a heart centered and feeling approach to life during the coming years you will find greater awareness within the population for the need to respect all that inhabit this planet. This includes the animals. Many of the animals that are grazed and raised for food are kept in abysmal conditions. They are deprived of their birthright and instead have been put into bondage to humanity’s need for animal flesh. There will be a slow, but gradual, shift in human consciousness around this. Those who advocate eating a non-animal diet will begin to exert greater influence. This is also largely due in fact to the shifting awareness that is occurring within the general population. As the awareness shifts there will also be greater consciousness and increasing sensitivity.

Shifting to a More Humanitarian Food Lifestyle!

Already many people are finding that there are changes in their food preferences. Many are finding their body desires foods that are natural, that are not contaminated in any way, foods that are light and which support the body rather than weigh it down or damage the body in any way. The movement toward vegetarianism will be a slow one. It has commenced. You will begin to see a marked increase in the demand for wholesome, healthy, non-contaminated foods.

The issue of water will be on the agenda in the coming years. Potable water for under developed countries will become a dire priority. The signs indicating there are problems in this area have been self-evident for some time. However, due to the changing climatic conditions potable drinking will become a main agenda item for many welfare agencies. And be prepared for some amazing technologies that will support the restoration of the dirtied waterways. These technologies are already available and there are more on the horizon. Within the next few years you will see that all individuals, regardless of where they live, will have access to quality drinking water.

As you well know there is significant reporting and focus on such man-made structures as the economy and the housing market. These are merely undergoing a restructuring process. This is not to minimize the discomfort and concern experienced by many as they observe their reality crumbling. It is obvious that there are many in the world who have deep-seated issues around money. These issues reflect the concept of scarcity. Due to the restructuring that is taking place in the world markets – economic, agricultural and other markets – the creativity and the innovative spirit of humanity will once again rise to the fore. Where there is a declining economy there will be resourcefulness within communities.

Communities will once again spring up, in a way that has not been seen for some time. Over the last few hundred years the mass congregation of individuals in large cities has created a whole host of problems. As a result of this mass congregation it has become obvious that many, many individuals are out of touch with the seasons and the cycles of nature. There has been a loss of independence and many of the ancient skills have been put to one side. During these times of restructuring there will be a gradual re-emergence of the concept of community, of sharing, of bartering, of finding ways of making do. All of this is to foster the feeling of Oneness.

There will always be those who will choose to remain mired in the old reality. It is these who will have greater difficulty in adjusting, for whether or not one subscribes to the concept of paradigm shift and changing times, regardless of one’s determination to maintain the status quo, there is and continues to be, a shift, a shift in consciousness, a shift in awareness. This shift has far reaching implications for all areas of life, for all aspects of life, for everyone upon the planet and for Earth herself. This shift is magnificent. It is vast.

A Restructuring of Education and Religious Systems!

As there is more heart-centered feeling and interaction there too will be a shift in what is acceptable to a community and what is not acceptable. It will take some time for many of the current structures to be modified  to accommodate this shift in consciousness. However, the beginnings are there.

Already within your communities there is much dissent, questioning and unrest around many of the institutions and their practices that have been acceptable until recent times. Education is one such institution. The young who are now being born are not necessarily adapting too well to many of the structures that have been established within the education system. These young ones require a different type of education in order for them to reach their potential. Already many parents are aware of this. Currently these parents are investing considerable energy and time to support their children during their formative educational years because they can see that the current educational structures are not providing what is needed.

In time there will be increasing pressure by the parents of these exceptional young ones. This increasing pressure will result in changes to the education system. These changes are long overdue and will be met with resistance, but the resistance will be futile. So, gradually there will be a shift towards an education system that supports the child where the values and creativity inherent in the child will be honored, nurtured and allowed to grow.

Another institution that will undergo significant change is that of religion. There is no doubt that a great injustice has been perpetrated upon the people by those who initially controlled religion. As more and more information is made available as to the true origins of humanity there will be great response and reaction from those who uphold traditional religious beliefs. There will be much conflict in terms of debate and discussion. There will be denial. There will be evidence, that when produced, cannot be refuted.

So many of the religious institutions if they are to survive will undergo a dramatic change. They will become less dogmatic and less confrontational. There will be less judgment and ostracism. There will be increasing acceptance and tolerance and more of the spiritual qualities adopted. In this change individuals will feel more empowered through their own divine connection to the great Source. This process has already commenced and over the next few years will accelerate. This will result in great headline news. There will be scandals. There will be upsets. Yet all this is merely leading to awareness that all is One. From hereon in, after this great change, there will be no more killing in the name of religion. There will be no more judging. There will be no more denying. Religions will come to co-exist peacefully. This has not happened upon this planet for over two thousand years, but that great time is coming. It is indeed something to be excited about.

For those who have this awareness and understanding do not hide your light. Do not deny your knowing. Share it freely at every opportunity. There are many, many in this world, who are seeking, who are not fully satisfied, whose needs are not met by the faiths to which they espouse. So, for those who hold the light now is the time to speak your truth. Oh yes, you will find resistance. You will find denial. Now is not the time to hide your light. You are not here to become a spiritual zealot determined to convert others to your belief systems. You are here to live your life as a spiritual being. Through your very actions and words you have the means to communicate the power that is held when you are a light worker. Now more than ever is the time for all light workers to be seen, to be heard and to have their vibration felt by those in need of it.

All Change Will Come From Within!

The coming years promise much change within every level of society. The greatest change, as I have already said, will come from within. These changes include

• letting go of old dogmas and beliefs,

• no longer aligning yourself to any particular sect, religion or organization that is not heart centered,

• allowing your thoughts to be clear and pure,

• learning to appreciate what you have, living in gratitude, and also

• feeling and becoming One with All That Is.

The time of isolation and separation is rapidly coming to an end. Those who are of the light are the way-showers for those who need a guiding hand. Be strong during these times of change. Feel your center. Feel your heart. When you feel your heart allow all your actions, emotions and intentions to come from a place of feeling – a feeling of heart centeredness. That is the major change and from that all other changes will follow. Be alert to the many small changes, they signify that change is occurring on a much larger scale. I extend many blessings on your journey. You are courageous souls and you are achieving miraculous outcomes already. Farewell."

Blessings for a joyful, prosperous and fun-filled 2010!
