“Be humble for you are made of earth.
Be noble for you are made of stars.” —Serbian proverb

I’ve been asking friends who aren’t actively on this path to draw a card from my New Earth deck to start their new year. Recently two of them drew the Star Origin card. Surprisingly, the first person said, “Well, yes, I know I’m not from here.” The second person told me about a memory she’d never shared: that she was out in space somewhere with someone who was lit up with light, who said to her, “That’s where you’re going.” And then pointed to a faraway earth.

So we are seeing not only the level of readiness, but the incredible inner knowing that already exists. While this inner knowing points us in the direction to go, most people don’t trust it in the beginning. But it’s important to learn to trust it, since it is helping us to connect with who we truly are.

We came from many different places to be here now. Some of us remember this, but even if you don’t, you may have a knowing about it, a sense of never fitting in or feeling at home here. Until now. Now we are becoming aware of our incredible purpose, our amazing mission, to take part in holding the energy of this new time so that everyone can shift.

What memories have appeared for you? What are you being shown? What tidbits of truth are surfacing to assist you in deeper self-discovery and alignment? What information has shown up in your dreams? We are doing so much clearing in our dreams, and receiving messages as well.

Recently I had a dream in which I volunteered to wash a few windows for a non-profit organization. And then they put it out there that I would wash everyone’s windows, even on two-story houses! As I puzzled over the meaning, my wise brother told me, you’re being asked to get people to see a new perspective. That hadn’t occurred to me. Sometimes the meanings of our dreams are clear, sometimes they’re hidden in metaphor.

The energies continue to come in very strongly in the first part of January and 1/11 is a portal day. It opens the door for us to even more of our magnificence and more of our cosmic citizenship. Our new templates continue to expand bringing us greater awareness and connection. And we are also having old patterns come up for release. I had one pop up today that I didn’t realize was still around. It’s the internal pattern to self-destruct that many of us hold, passed to us from previous generations. It can show up in our issues with sugar, food, alcohol, self-doubt or overwork. It’s a pattern that undermines just when we think we’re doing well.

To release it, first notice it’s there. It’s important to see it. Then say you’re complete with it, and ask for it to release. This is a big one, and I did some work today to help release this for all. But each of you for whom this is an issue can also ask that it release, for you and the collective. Together we can do this.

We’ve been given the seeds of our crystalline consciousness and by honoring this gift, we grow it. By respecting ourselves, by loving ourselves, by creating peace within, all of these attributes move into our outer world as well. We create a beautiful inner garden by clearing out old patterns and honoring the truth of who we are. This garden then grows and begins to surround us in our external world. As we each grow our garden, the gardens link up expanding into a beautiful new earth.

Voltaire’s Candide said a long time ago, “Il faut cultiver notre jardin.” Each of us must tend our own garden to grow it in a responsible, sovereign way until it is self-sustaining. Grow it inside, then expand it to your outer world, so that you are surrounded by the beauty and strength of what you have created. Embrace your role as a creator. You are here to help make something very new and very needed.

We’ve been passed the torch by the ancient ones. Safeguard this light. It is the light of the new world.
