We have been silently listening to all the different ideas that people have regarding 2012 and the Golden Age. We understand why people are confused; they are because there is so little understanding, really, about what to expect in the years ahead. 2012 is the continuation of the overlapping of cycles which are currently in progress. It is also simply another date in time. Everything that is happening now will affect the future, so the future is going to be whatever you make of it. In other words, nothing is written in stone. The Golden Age is vastly misunderstood, it is in actuality the “Golden Now;” however people do not understand this, yet.

Let us examine the term, the Golden Age. This term was given to people to simply define a new cycle that was beginning on the planet and It originated well over a 100 years ago, to let people know of the coming, present tense, time. This means that the times would change, all that was untenable would have to be altered in a new and better fashion. People fail to understand that all time is simultaneous. This is the big problem. The past, the present and the future are all integrated into a present-meaning a collective continuum of all time frames. This is synchronized into one cohesive moment without end. People fail to realize that this part of A continuity of energy. They don’t know this because nobody tells them. It is not what they have been taught about life. And yes, this is another area that needs to be addressed in the years ahead as teachers relearn the true realities and the old text books are discarded and rewritten with truthful information. In time, this will happen.

The Golden NOW epitomizes the return of The Jesus The Christ Consciousness. It is representative of the God Force that is the matrix of the Golden Now. BUT PEOPLE LISTEN, IT HAS ALREADY BEGUN. The term NOW is your “key” to understanding this. The Golden Now is a progressive movement of Divine God energy that cannot and will not be stopped. It is because people think in terms of numerical ages that they segregate themselves from the Golden Now. The Golden Now is sweeping across the planet; what began as a subtle energetic wave is now a massive formation of Golden Light. It is of the highest frequency and purity because It is Divine. The year 2012, first received much notoriety because of the Mayan calendar. However although the Mayans understood their calendar, the white races completely misunderstood it. As did other races who tried to interpret it. It is odd that some of the people on this planet that we would have expected to know better do not know the truth about this. The common belief due to deleterious misinterpretation is as follows: The world will end, everything will stop and become static, all life will cease to be on this planet and the poles will reverse themselves in a blink of an eye etc. etc. None of these interpretations are correct.

The reality of the Mayan calendar is: In March of 2012 the former times that the Mayan had charted for many years, ceases and an entirely new time-ing of this planet is born. This is how they defined the serpentine energy which their Spiritual elders have long awaited. They have been waiting for her to finish her travels across the world, knowing when she did that, the new time of God would be fully present and there would be no misunderstanding of what had taken place. Think of it as cause and effect. The cause is the termination of the former way of life. The effect is the new energy of The Jesus The Christ Consciousness and of The God Matrix fully and unequivocally established on the planet. Oddly enough people do not think to ask the Mayans the truth about the Mayan calendar and YES, the Mayan councils know this and have been steadily working for years to assist in this Spiritual growth.

The Golden Now is a process. It is a processing of all that has not been good on this planet and recycling the matter, or transmuting the old energies. This is so the stable energies that are benevolent are able to integrate and complement the new wave. Those that cannot be changed are destroyed. This is also a part of what the vibrations and the frequency of the Golden Now is assisting in accomplishing. Is it really difficult to understand the dawn of a new way of life? It really is this simple. Life will be much smoother for everyone if they stop making everything so complicated.

God sometimes speaks in what we have come to term, “The God Code.” This means that He does give you the answer however it is not always the complete answer. He graces us with two very special gifts. The gifts are as follows: As part of our own growth He encourages us to seek and find the completed answers to issues and questions. Even more so He challenges us to come up with the answers by ourselves, without His Divine intervention. In other words He watches to see if we are “Walking Our Talk.” This is in part due to His desire for us to take personal responsibility for ourselves and seek within our hearts and our Souls for the answers to the questions at hand. Below you will see an example of this taken from the “2012” chapter in His book, “And Then God Said... Then I Said… Then He Said…”

David - Thank you God, however you “forgot” to mention the completion of these changes by 2012.

God – David, I know what you are fishing for here and it is timely as well. Will everything return to their once pristine state? No, they won’t. This too will take time. Will there be no more work to do? That My dear ones will never cease for you are evolving and evolvement requires change. I would like to add that you are all up for the challenges that lie ahead. Embrace them with passion and a zest for life and let us not forget to put a little pizzazz into it as well. This is new phase in the tapestry of your lives that you are Creating here. Weave it with love and cherish each moment as if it were your first. Be the artists of Creation that you each are.

This brings us back to “The God Code.” God in His Infinite wisdom is not giving all the answers as you can see by the above excerpts. Although we knew the rest of what He was NOT saying, as you can see He left it up to the individual readers to read between His lines. He expects people to take a simple excerpt, use that as a springboard and then expand upon it by broadening the excerpt with the information that they know within their hearts, minds and Souls. This is one manner in which God walks among mankind, by prompting everyone to expand the confines and the limitations of their knowledge, look into their hearts, minds and Souls and behave as God. How do you behave as God? By always striving to seek the answers through understanding the foundation that you have been given. Can you think of a better gift to have bestowed upon mankind? No, you will not be given a secret handshake or a special decoder ring when this occurs. You will know it and so will He and the Heavens will shake with applause. God does not really work in mysterious ways, those that really believe that, do not understand the foundation they have been given. Those that do are what we term, “Veterans of the Earth Star Walk.”

Here is a simple example of the “The God Code.” Jesus was not born on Christmas nor was He born in a manger. In God’s infinite wisdom He does not correct people about the wrong date. There is a reason. It is on that one day a year when millions of people around the world pause, even if it is only for a little while, and they give thanks for the arrival of The Messenger. That is what Jesus is. His messages were and are of Divinity, of love and of the people’s innate ability to break the fetters of the unilluminated rhetoric which has always been foisted upon them. We feel that God was absolutely correct in letting Christmas be celebrated on any given day. The true essence of Christmas is celebrated even though the birth date is wrong. When two or more are gathered in God’s name, or in Jesus’s name, the larger the gathering, the more joyful and loving the celebration, the more the Soul soars. As the Soul attains new heights and amasses more of The Light, that Light then in turn ascends throughout the dimensions as it gathers more light beams together. This is accomplished through the magnetic force of the Light. As a result the expansion and continuation of the Light of each Soul then causes more of the Light to shine into the darkness. Energy in this sense denotes Brilliance. The amassed energy of the Light of all people can then be seen throughout the Universe. If you pay close attention, you will find many examples of the “God Code” evident throughout all aspects of life.

Some of the foolish beliefs that people have about 2012, are going to lead them astray at a time when they need to be focused. Here is one important example. This actually happened while we were being interviewed on a radio program; however we do not want to embarrass the host by mentioning any names. The host said, his understanding based on what a great many people had told him, (these were individuals who were supposedly learned people,) was: “When 2012 comes around there will be such grand prosperity for everyone that everyone will have two houses and four cars each.” Then he asked what our position on this statement was. Here is our reply: “Stop to look at the logistics here, if everybody here on this planet had 2 homes each and 4 cars each, where would they park everything? The houses would have to be built on top of one another. This planet isn’t big enough to contain all that.” This is just one example of the foolishness that people are believing about 2012. We are sure that each of you reading this has heard similar foolishness.

Here is what we know about 2012. Please, this is on the Q.T. so keep it quiet. You see we know the best way to get information out to the public is to tell someone it is “a SECRET.”

Much of what we will speak about here is already evident in the mainstream media, some of it is not. However here again is an example of the people’s need to be reading between the lines where the media is concerned. The infrastructure of established governments, all political machines, worldwide pharmaceuticals, religious indoctrinations, academic institutions, banking and everything else the economy depends on needs serious attention because it is flawed. These are time-honored institutions that most people have grown up to believe are honest, even though they are not. The old foundations must collapse, fall and implode. Restructuring of worldwide economic and political systems, all forms of technology and major beneficial environmental changes, will then replace the old way of life. There will be no more need for any war machines. Other countries and their new governments will be in favor of more peaceful pursuits. No, not all of this will take place in the years leading up to 2012 and it certainly will not all happen in 2012 either. A few years ago when the handwriting was still on the wall and people still did not bother to look, did not change the fact that this was all going to happen anyway. It took the last 100 years in particular, to create such havoc and instability on this planet. How can anyone expect everything to be repaired until everything that is not in the best interest of this planet and humanity as a whole, is torn down? No, we are not trying to burst your bubbles, we believe that if we are to survive the present times we each need to be informed of the truth so we can all deal with it on a personal level as well as on a planetary level.

New governments will be built that are truly in the best interest of the people and they will be built of and for the people. There will be many teachers to teach of a better way to live as well. Many of these teachers are already here, the rest are chomping at the bit to jump in and assist when their timelines arrive. Ok, before we start receiving massive numbers of email, that we cannot answer, we shall address the most obvious questions we hear from within the silent screamsthat are cascading around the planet. “What about all the help being promised by Star Keepers?”And the big one, “We were always told that there would be great prosperity, what happens to that?”

To answer the first question, first of all, they are here, they always have been. If they had not been here, this planet would have ceased to be a very long time ago. They promised that they would never leave us alone and they held true to that promise. Secondly, they are not here to do it all for us. We are responsible for allowing all of this to happen and it must be “WE the People” who take corrective measures to rectify the problems at hand. This means everyone on the planet, every country, every nation, no exceptions. The Star Keepers will continue to support us, guide us, teach us, and protect us from outside intrusions. When a specific timeline has arrived then they will be here on the planet actively engaged in assisting in the nurturing of God’s new garden. Please do not misunderstand; they are doing everything they currently are allowed to by the God of this world to help stabilize the planet. If they were not, the ongoing Earth changes would be much, much more severe.

Question number two, “Great Prosperity.” People who believe this are doing so because they have been receiving misinformation as well as from their own fears, fear of losing everything they have. Fortunately, what we have seen contradicts many of these beliefs. How can everybody have great prosperity unless there is a fair distribution of funds allocated to every person on the planet? In order for that to happen people would first need to realize that we are all connected and that no one should have more than their share of the Earth Star planet’s Wealth. For all of that to take place, it would necessitate that illicit funds held by every government on the Earth, every politician, church, the cartels and all of their affiliates would have to be seized with some type of worldwide distribution plan already in force. Otherwise it would just revert back to the government coffers and not to the people of the planet.

Do you not think that the poorest person in Africa does not want to also have a piece of the pie? How many years do you think this would take to accomplish? We say, MANY, so please keep that in mind when placing your hopes and desires on a lush and green monetary future that requires the cooperation of everyone on the planet. First everything needs to be being turned over, and then everything needs to be torn down and the removal of all the old root systems must take place. Then all the seeds that we have all been planting, and The Divinity has been planting, will start to become visible. If you are paying attention, this has already begun, but has a long way to go. Once this is accomplished, then the process of the creative building of good infrastructures can replace the unstable and inequitable economics that used to be considered acceptable. Then in time, there will be a fair abundance for everyone to cover everyday needs and people will not feel constrained or fearful about their monetary lives. It does not mean that there will be the wealthy and the poor; it means a fair and equitable distribution of all natural resources for everyone. Do not forget that prosperity wears many forms.

Please understand, the more the planet changes the more the unilluminated people will leave the planet. It will be a case of oil and water, the good and the bad cannot exist together under these circumstances. This will not all be finished in 2012, but, the Golden Now which is already in progress will have been spreading across this planet and bringing new life and new energies by the end of 2012. Please understand, the continuation of the upcoming changes is a progressive movement. The gross injustices are not going to just disappear overnight, it will take time. No there is not an end to the world, but it is the beginning of a brand new beginning.

Prepare yourself for 2012 and beyond 2012 by preparing yourself for today. Each person needs to examine their beliefs, their strengths and weaknesses, their true motivations; many more may need to readjust their aspirations in life. We understand that many of you feel alone and isolated, this does not mean that you cannot convene with other people who do share your beliefs, who do want to be part of the great change and are willing to alter their lives in order to do so. We do not know how to tell you strongly enough that everyone needs to “Stay Out of Fear,” and concentrate on participating as the voices of planetary change. We know you can do this, you will find out eventually that it was well worth the effort. LIVE AN ORDINARY LIFE IN A NON-ORDINARY WAY. When in doubt, check your determination meter and see how you are doing. You and only you can be the judge of that.

Embrace change, do not become afraid of it, without change everything would be static. It would mean there would be no growth; there would be no planetary changes, no evolution. That is too high of a price to pay. 2011 is a make or break year on a personal level. Everything that is already set in motion will strengthen many people by that time. Those who cannot or will not accept change will CHOOSE not to remain on the planet. The time of contradictions will be ended by then. It means people cannot bluff their way, con their way, buy their way, or say one thing - but do another. In other words lip service will no longer work. The reason for 2011 as the make or break year is because people have had since 2007 to seriously start making their changes, not that they couldn’t have before, but most didn’t. This is what personal responsibility is all about.

“The Instability Factor.” Lately many people are ensnared in this self-debilitating act of feeling and acting out unstably. Peoples’ insecurities on a personal level are causing self-doubt now more so than ever. Far too many feel as if they are on the right path, yet they doubt that they have what it takes to complete their journey. Peoples’ emotions are running amuck, when they allow their emotions to rule their lives. They forget that life is an adventure; that it is a learning experience. This is an experience that is forever without end. There are peaks and valleys in every life. Fear is the causation of the problem and FEAR is a GREAT FORNICATOR. If you start to feel fear, stop yourself, examine that emotion, see what caused it and then change your attitude about whatever the issue is. Fear is self-propagating. It mutates and then takes on a life of its own. This can only happen if you allow it. Now here you go, you are back to taking personal responsibility again. For those that refuse to do this; there is no hope in this lifetime for them. But, that is their choice. Those who do accept accountability for their actions, or non-actions, will weather all these planetary situations and live to love and enjoy life for many, many a day.

“The Waiting Game.” This is a worn-out process where people are waiting for others to save them. People are still waiting for the economy to change itself, they are waiting for politicians to become honest, waiting for religions to tell the truth and waiting for change to take place without them needing to lift a finger to be part of the change. Hard to believe, however there are still those out there who are waiting for MANNA from Heaven to fall into their laps. People are still waiting for a miracle and not realizing that miracles have already begun. Life itself is a miracle. Many people are waiting for destiny without doing anything for themselves to achieve their own destin-ation.

This brings us to the infamous, “Ostrich Syndrome.” There are many people who are still burying their heads in the sand, closing their eyes, covering their ears and saying, “I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know, it’s all going to go away.” All we can say to them is “buck up soldier.” As long as their heads stay in the sand, they are without life. There can be no tomorrow for them, for they have no today.

"AS MANY OF YOU WILL BE SOON RUSHING AROUND TO DRINK THE LAST DROP OF WATER, THERE WILL INDEED BE MY WARRIORS OF THE WHITE ROSE WHO WILL TAKE THE TIME TO CONTINUE TO SET A GRACIOUS TABLE, SIPPING THE ELIXER OF LIFE AND ENJOYING GOOD CONVERSATION WITH THOSE WHO LOVE THEM BEST. FOR YOU SEE, THEY KNOW THE SECRET TO ETERNAL LIFE, TO IMMORTALITY. FOR THE REST OF YOU ONES, WE SHALL LEAVE WITH YOU A TIDBIT OF LIGHT - THE ANSWER TO 11-11 IS 2011."
Received from God, in 1993


In our further quest to enact “The God Code” here on the planet we shall remind you right now, any questions you may come up with are yours and yours alone to solve. So please do not email any questions to us as we simply do not have time to answer any email.

Now comes a time in human history which can either make or break the world as you know it. The People, as a Singular Mass Consciousness, are beginning to awaken once again. There is tremendous symbolism in this, and we have come forward this day to present this unfolding story from a Oneness perspective, instead of the Separation mindset which has been so prevalent in your 3D world through the ages.

We are The Reconnections. We represent all those parts of your Expanded Self that you had to forget about in order to become human. We have never been very far from you.......just far enough. Within our ranks are contained all the necessary "Bridge Concepts" which will connect you with what is known as The Multiverse, a compilation of alternative, possible/probable universes ALL OF WHICH represent levels of YOU.

The Oneself Consciousness of Planet Earth has its own "circadian rhythm" .....very similar to cycles of rest and productivity that are experienced in the life of a single individual. It sleeps, it dreams.........and, when timing and external circumstance unfold in a particular sequence......it wakes.

The Shadow Dance, which has been going on across these last few generations, has been an important safety valve for handling the enormous surges of power that become available when folks begin tapping into the core of who they truly are, as creators of their reality.

It’s April in Rome. The birds are singing, the tourists are flocking and the Pope is calling Mary a participant in the Redemption provided by Christ.
What?

Virgin Mary “silently followed her son Jesus to Calvary, taking part with great suffering in his sacrifice, thus cooperating in the mystery of redemption and becoming mother of all believers,”

According to the Religious News Service,

At least 7 million Catholics from more than 170 countries, including hundreds of bishops and cardinals, have reportedly signed petitions urging the pope to proclaim Mary “the Spiritual Mother of All Humanity, the coredemptrix with Jesus the redeemer, mediatrix of all graces with Jesus the one mediator, and advocate with Jesus Christ on behalf of the human race.”


And…

According to Mark Miravalle, a professor of theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio, the new dogma would mean the “climax of the `Age of Mary’,” a period that began in 1830 with apparitions of the Virgin in France, and witnessed papal proclamations of her Immaculate Conception (1854) and bodily Assumption into heaven (1950).

To begin pontificating, one must assume that there is something worthwhile to convey. How is this value attained? One soaks up information, transcends it, and then uses it to describe their experience. Some people are naturals in a given arena while many have a hard time finding their right place in the world. Hardship bypasses one group of people and visits another. The rollercoaster of life keeps bringing all of us up and down. The mass media blitz immerses us in subconscious commands. Talking mouths are yap yap yapping at us from every direction. Where can we go to get a break from the madness?

If we take a trip to the mountains and our mind is still stressed, we have not really gotten any space between our center and that which ails us. Unplugging from the network both technologically and sociologically is an important skill which is too often neglected. We have to know a part of ourselves that is not related to the outside. Comparison, conclusion, and confusion need not approach. Trust, acceptance, and courage make possible the survival of the gap in order to reach the promised land of heaven within. You will be God’s chosen person; you will see that this was inherent from creation.

It is not possible to sustain borrowing from tomorrow to pay for today. At some point you’ll have to work two or three times harder just to break even. It is better to work now and get over the hump. Not putting off until tomorrow what could be done today is a Franklin aphorism worth remembering. In his autobiography are many gems of simple living. Best of all, he was not a fanatic. Most of the founding fathers of America had a true mystical sense of religion. They didn’t believe in formulas but in human divinity. They were carrying on a tradition at least as old as Ancient Egypt and perhaps Atlantis.

Neutral observation is the master key. Judgment begets association. Awareness sees without reacting. If necessary in the moment action will take place. Learning the mechanisms of the body/sensory apparatus, we can essentially slip out of it. The real happenings occur in the loose space behind bodies. Here is a whole other sub-stratum of existence. Many subtler shades of entity will be interacting with you. You must learn to watch that too. Some of us are known for our inter-dimensional travel abilities. It is inwards that we fly. Not just in a concept but as a launching point for greater journeys.

We are human fish in a cosmic pond. Swimming through space, we learn lessons under the watchful eye of Father Time. Breathed by the force which pervades all, we mistakenly believe we are separate beings: temporary differential patterns clinging to form in an ever transient flow of change. Soon the waves in the sea will wave goodbye to the current hunk of flesh. When they do, what will remain? Their etheric double will hang around for awhile, then to life review and the portal to incarnation. If you have gained a good amount of momentum, you can fly up to the higher astral and chill.

The "salt of the Earth" has begun to run out. This is not the case because there is none of it left. Rather, salt is running out because its purpose has been fulfilled. I'm speaking figuratively here, and in a spiritual sense. There have been energies present upon this planet since the beginning, which have but one reason for existence: preservation of the established order.

Salt, as an essence, has always been considered "preservative" in nature. Without it, or something like it, organic substances (particularly proteins) begin to rot. When meats are cut up, dried, and packed in salt - they are said to be "cured." Words are interesting, aren't they? They reveal a lot - particularly when you measure their manifold usage in any particular culture. The word "cure" has other meanings as well. Diseases are said to be "cured." Some diseases are said to be "incurable." Add an accent mark to the "e" in "cure" and the word, in French, means "priest."

I'd hate to be named "Norm" - wouldn't you? You would tend to feel so... so... average. But "Norm" is a very popular man these days. We study hard in school, we practice daily in sports, we persevere in all manner of personal organization and discipline - all so we can beat him in every area of our lives. If we go to the Doctor, lift up our shirt, and fail to find him there - we break out in a cold sweat.

Truly, the physicians of today have become priests of a very special and important religion. But what IS that religion? In many ways, Doctors have become "Keepers of the Norm." Sustainers of their own definition of what that status quo should be. MORE ON THIS



This expression of "The New Normal" was coined by our news organizations in those fateful days following September 11, 2001. If you will recall, the world was truly in turmoil. People were walking on eggshells---leaving commerce, travel, and private enterprise hanging in suspension. In an effort to jump-start the American heart again, President Bush urged people to go back to living their lives, as much as possible, like they NORMALLY would live them.

At the time, this whole premise seemed laughable. Eight years later, it still seems laughable. WHAT IS NORMAL, ANYWAY? Where in the world has this "Norm" guy been hiding????

This is our current topic, Sunday Nights, on Blog Talk Radio. The energies of Planet Earth have been whirling so fast and furious lately that it's all a person can do to remain upright, let alone measure his or her behavior against some arbitrary standard for "What Should be."

How does a body survive? This is our current focus of concern. The short answer would be: STAY HEART-CENTERED. The Reconnections have been emphasizing this for years. They have told us:

"We are giving you this information---about Energy Gates, Ascension, and the Transmutation of Human Energy so you can realize how important at this time is your need for OPEN HEARTS, in order to be protected and to survive in the days ahead. If that "message" becomes grounded and anchored in you.......you will be able to spread that TONE to many, many people. Not all people will understand.........but they won't need to. All they will need is exposure to the TONE of a person who is Reconnecting..........and they, too, will begin that process, on some level. It's the 100th Monkey dynamic again, do you see?

It is very possible that many of you are focusing upon this question: "How can I be of help to the world? How can I make the suffering that is all around me diminish?" The answer to that question is STOP SUFFERING YOURSELF.........and listen to what is being shared here. Begin sourcing your strength and motivation from within, and show everyone around you what that looks like. Do not preach, and do not seek them out to evangelize. Just keep washing your own "potatoes" (as the story says).....and others will seek YOU out, and learn from you how to survive this awesome translation into 4D Consciousness." (end excerpt)

Tune in Sunday Nights, or Visit the Blog Talk Radio Archive soon. The Discussion has been very interesting indeed! More to come on this topic.

There are a few moral ideals that are common to all social groups, such as not stealing or committing senseless murder. These have lead to many people, both religious (theist and deist alike) and nonreligious, supposing the existence of moral absolutes.

These generalized moral ideals are picked up on keenly, but little attention is paid to the fact that other than these few things, all other moral ideas are blurred, subjective, and mutually exclusive. For example, some cultures seen cannibalism as a moral duty, and other see it as the worst imaginable crime.

The common morals (not stealing, not fruitlessly murdering) can be traced logically back to evolution via natural selection, and that is the reason that they are the only ones truly common to all social groups. They are the morals that help people live together as a group, which in turn helps them to survive as a species. It boils down to basic common sense: if you want to have a successful group, you can’t have people stealing from one another and you can’t have people killing at random.

All other morals enter the realm of subjectivity. Every culture agrees that a baseless random murder is wrong, but they disagree severely over definition of “baseless,” when it is okay to take a life and when it is not. Just a few hundred years ago it was socially acceptable for a brother to murder a man who had sex with his sister out of wedlock. Many countries today still practice honor killings where it is morally justifiable for a husband to kill is adulterating wife, or a father to kill his disobedient daughter. Among the Asmat in New Guinea, before they were influenced by Western society, it was not only considered correct, but a moral and religious obligation to kill and cannibalize your enemy.

Our culture today says that murdering the man who had sex with your sister is wrong, but killing another man during a war is alright. What a culture defines as “baseless” can change from era to era and culture to culture, but the idea that baseless murder is wrong remains. However, baseless killing, although universally agreed upon by human cultures, is not a moral absolute because of the way it fluctuates–that ever-changing definition of when it is okay to kill and when it is wrong. There are no moral absolutes, just generalizations.
