    1. Introduction

    Bridge to Earth

    Well, I have a scientific background. In fact, thats how I ended up in northernCalifornia, to do my postdoctoral work here. I consider myself a chemist, but Ive donework in biology and material science as well. Now I just call myself a nanotechnologist,because it covers all the fields and thats what Im really interested innanotechnology.Yes, I have two kids, and Im a single mom not working. Ive been looking for a job fora long time, a meaningful job. I actually havent worked at a real job since I finishedmy postdoc. Now Im writing. (Hmmm, maybe Ill start telling people Im a writer.)What am I writing about? Well, you might think Im really strange if I told you. Youmight start backing away from me, or cross over to the other side of the street when yousee me walking. You wouldnt? OK After finishing my postdoc, life hit me and I wasforced by the Universe to stop everything. Everything fell apart my romanticrelationship, career, finances, just about everything that defined who I was. It wasduring this time that I started searching for some kind of meaning to life and I had thetime to do this because I was unexpectedly pregnant and out of work. Experiencing themiracle of birth and taking care of a newborn have a way of jerking you out of lifestraffic, I suppose Well, I guess everything came together in a timely way. It wasduring this time that I got hold of books, started reading, started meditating, startedhealing, and started experiencing things I couldnt explain, and found a whole world outthere that was so much vaster than the tiny little three-dimensional box that Ive beenliving in. Amazingly, it went hand in hand with my scientific background, verynaturally. The physical manifestations also helped. It has been an exciting journey. Ilook back and Im just floored. Im still on it and I dont know where its going. So now

    Im writing about it. Im sharing my experiences because I hope others will consider thepossibility that worlds of higher dimensions just might exist, which are more real thanthis set-up that were living in now, and each one of us and our personal lives aregrander and way more meaningful than we may have ever dreamed them to beliterally.

    October 2009. OK, this is notwhat I told the moms I had just met, walking back homefrom taking our kids to school one morning. I was fantasizing that I had told them that.I had just moved into the neighborhood. I didnt want them to think Im a nut. Im stillworking on that the courage to tell people I meet, those in my community, face to face,

    the true story of myself, and ultimately, something about ourselves. Yet I tell them verylittle.

    This is a personal story from a very practical, down-to-earth mom with a scientifictraining. And that is all it is, a sharing of my personal story, one human experience. Imcertainly not writing as a scientist or an expert on any topic.

    However, let me emphasize that this is in no way a unique story. I have no doubt that acountless number of people have a story like mine, some versions or parts of it. Thesort of thing that I went through the discovery of a new reality is, and has been,happening to people all over the world, especially in the recent years. Theyre justkeeping it to themselves. It could be your neighbor, your childs teacher, your coworker,

    your grocery store clerk, your sister, or just about anyone else you know.

    The only thing different about my story is that it is one that you have found.

    2. Early Years: Feet on the Ground

    Bridge to Earth

    There are many who have always known in the back of their minds even as children thatthe world is not as it really seems, but Ive always felt that I had my feet on the ground.Having emigrated from Korea at the age of eight, I learned the value of pragmatism andhard work through watching my parents struggle to make a living and support thefamily in a country foreign to them. My father was an electrical technician at anestablished company and my mother was a homemaker. I suppose it was also myinherent personality, being a Capricorn I was a painfully shy and hard-workingstudent, the stereotypical Asian child. People overwhelmed me, while schoolwork andbooks were comfortable and logical, so without the influence of close friendships or theextended family who would have surrounded me back in Korea, I grew up rather under-socialized. I wasnt completely left-brained, though I enjoyed art, creative writing,being in nature, and self-reflection as a child.

    I majored in chemistry in college and through a twisted path earned a Ph.D. in chemicaland biological sciences at a well-regarded institute. Despite my academic track record, Iwas not confident of my intelligence, and sacrificed all to do well in school. Friendships,family, romance, recreation, and health were marginalized for all years of my youngadult life through my early 30s to learn the concrete facts and methodologies ofscience. Although majoring in the sciences in college was almost an afterthought, Ieventually came to love the process of doing scientific research, being naturallyanalytical and grounded in the five senses.

    There was one deviation from my solid grounding in the material world, and it is that Ihave always believed that extrasensory perception is possible. In fact, I remember that Idid a science project on it in the eighth grade, polling classrooms of kids on theirperception of pictures hidden in closed envelopes. It actually won first place at the localscience fair under the psychology category, although I was not encouraged to move ontothe next level of competition. Yet, even this subject was approached scientifically. Irealized the limitations of science, and felt that we just did not have enoughfundamental information and technology to prove this phenomenon yet.

    All in all, to my memory, there was nothing in my early years that challenged myeveryday view of the world. I suppose even if there had been something, Id have beentoo busy with my schoolwork to notice.

    3. Dark Night of the Soul

    Bridge to Earth

    Graduate school experience was very difficult and stressful, due to my lack of confidenceand assertive social skills in the highly competitive academic laboratory environmentsfor which I was ill prepared. Yet I ended up doing well I made good progress inscientific terms, gained confidence in my knowledge and abilities, and validated my(amazing) inner strength, learning more of who I was. It was a period of both extremechallenge and growth. And it did not come without a cost I was on edge, totally burned

    out.

    It helped prepare me for the postdoctoral experience, however, and the postdoctoralperiod was a smoother ride. The time was near the ending of my postdoc. I had met thenicest man Id ever known and finally fallen in love. I was planning to apply foracademic faculty positions, although not completely certain about this decision or theoutcome. However, it didnt matter I was in love! I found out that I was pregnant withmy fiancs childyet, it didnt matter because we were already committed to spendingthe rest of our lives together. I was more than ready to have the children whom Ivealways wanted, approaching my mid-30s at this point. I was on top of the world, andevery day was a joy to receive.

    Then it all collapsed. 2002. My relationship with my fianc suddenly fell apart. Mypostdoctoral advisor withdrew the critical support I needed for my academic careeraspirations. My postdoctoral fellowship was over, leaving me without a job or anincome. All future plans were uncertain with the baby to be born. I felt physicallyvulnerable, losing my customary agility each day with my ever-growing belly and theunfamiliar, changing body. I cut off communication with all those in my social and workcircles and retreated deeply within, trying to decide how to best nurture the unbornbaby and ensure a future for ourselves. Everything that had defined my ego and who Iwas in this world up to that point had been stripped away. It was as if the Universe had

    put up a big hand and said, Stop.

    Looking back, I was experiencing a dark night of the soul. People have spoken of darknights of the soul, although I dont know how I feel about that term. It is supposed tobe a time of great challenge or crisis preceding a period of personal/spiritual growth. Itis a time when one is forced to re-examine ones most fundamental beliefs. I dont knowif despair is always necessary for growth, but it has been said by many through the ages

    that the challenges in our lives are what give us the greatest opportunities, the greatestcatalysts, for growth.

    Of course, this is all in retrospect. All I knew at the time I was going through it was thatI was feeling miserable and trapped like you wouldnt believe. I was crying my little

    eyeballs out almost every night for soooo many nights, just my big belly and me. It wasall I could do to put one foot in front of the other each day.

    4. A Kick in the Rear

    Bridge to Earth

    2003. I was caring for my infant daughter, still living with my ex-fianc, and pregnantagain, somehow, with his second child. There seemed to be no solution, no end to thissituation. What does a person in utter desperation and unhappiness do when thepresent has fallen completely into heaps and the future seems dismal? And there seemsto be no way out of the trap? One begins to wonder what life is about, what is the point,what is the purpose, and what does the future hold. Is there any light at the end of thetunnel? I had no religious convictions to fall back on or blame. The vagueness and thelack of control over the future made me feel powerless, lost, and confused. Okay, whenthe situation got this desperate and the future so uncertain, I admit I started perusingthe psychics section of an online advice service. I felt quite embarrassed about it. Itwas not only my ego for falling to this level of desperation, but I thought that I would be

    the laughing stock of the scientific community if I were ever found out. Especially as awoman in a male-dominated field, I had always felt I needed to come across asprofessionally as possible.

    A cursory reading of some of the previous answers given to others showed me that theadvice given on this free, volunteer-run site was, not surprisingly, hit-or-miss. I lookedcarefully through the psychic volunteers profiles, finding someone self-described as aspiritual teacher, and briefly described to her my situation online. I wish I couldremember the exact words of her reply, but they were far from the gentle words of hopethat I was looking for. I also wish I could remember exactly what I wrote to her about

    my situation. In any case, in her reply, she soundly admonished me for myindiscriminate sexual behavior as if I were a teenager, or worse, and tossed me twobooks I should read to start straightening out my life:Journey of Souls[1] and You CanHeal Your Life.[2] At the time I read her words, I felt all misunderstood and insulted, butyou must understand when I look back on it now, how I laugh and laugh at the humblebeginning of my journey.

    5. And So It Begins

    Bridge to Earth

    The books spoke to me. They just made so much sense. They laid out huge pictureswith broad brush strokes that somehow rang true deeply within me, and I felt as if abright light had been turned on in the pitch darkness. Journey of Souls was written bythe clinical psychologist Michael Newton who, while leading a patient back in timehypnotically to access memories of her former lives, accidentally stumbled upon thepatients state of consciousness that was an expression of her soul, her core identitybetween the lives on Earth. Subsequently, through case studies of hundreds of peopleover many years, Dr. Newton discovered an emerging, consistent picture of the spiritworld after death that, as souls, we incarnate repeatedly on Earth with our soulmemories erased to evolve ourselves; that in the interim between lives, we choose themajor circumstances and the players in our next life to help us learn our chosenlessons; and that we always have the gentle assistance of further-evolved guidesthroughout our lives on Earth and in the spirit world. It was not only that Dr. Newtonwas a traditionally-trained and -recognized therapist who started out believing thatpast-life explorations were unorthodox and non-clinical, or that much of the book wascomprised of actual case studies with transcripts from the therapy sessions, that gavecredibility to the contents for me. It was that, starting with my premise that it isimpossible to obtain physical proof for what happens after death, nothing in the bookchallenged the belief system I had at the time. In fact, it presented a beautiful order to

    things the cyclic process of learning and self-development through reincarnations, thevery organized mentoring of the less-advanced by the more-advanced, and the wholesystem of learning and being instruments of learning through interactions with eachother. It was so logical and explained fittingly what I had seen of the lives of peoplearound me, and presented a platform from which I could start to understand what washappening in my life. It was also incredibly empowering to me, to believe that I hadchosen to be in this situation in this life through mutually agreed-upon contracts withothers, and it was up to me to extract what I wanted from it. Finally, or firstly, it gaveme validation that the true nature the core nature of the human being is a spirit. Thebrief encounter with religion I had as a child, through a Southern Baptist church whichemphasized heaven, hell, and the wrathful-loving God had never quite made sense to

    me, causing me agony as I tried to fit square blocks into round holes. All the pieces fittogether beautifully with the picture presented in this book, resonating not just at amental but at the deepest, heart-felt level, and what a sense of peace and joy it brought!

    Louise Hays book, You Can Heal Your Life, was one of self-healing. It dove-tailed wellwithJourney of Souls, without asking for too much reliance on belief of the woo-woos. Ms. Hay emphasized the creative power of our thought that every thought wethink is creating our future and that the key to positive changes is self-approval andself-acceptance in the now. The overarching message was that we have the innate power

    to changes our lives. It was lovingly written at a universal, philosophical, self-help levelwithout threatening the belief systems that most people hold. I see now why the bookhas touched the lives of so many people.

    The digestion of these books came at a time when I was caring for two young childrenabout a year apart, one a newborn, both in diapers, and having my sleep interruptedseveral times a night, every night. It was also a time I was beginning to notice thatmagical connection that mothers have with their children. Even when lost in the abyssof sleep in my bone-deep fatigue, I would suddenlybe wide awake and in my childrensroom before one of my children had finished his or her whimper. Even when no noisehad been made, I was up in an instant and in their room, to find one of them sitting up

    in bed in the middle of the night, half-awake and dazed. No matter how deeply I haddozed off, I always seemed to know instantly when they were awake or uncomfortable.One winter, we bought humidifiers that were designed to circulate water to preventmold, but whose motors quickly malfunctioned and rumbled like jet planes taking offthe runway. I remember once lying in my bed and, above the deafening roar of the twomalfunctioning humidifier motors, listening to my children down the hall breathe theirsoft baby breaths and rustle their blankets as they shifted in their sleep. I rememberthinking that only a dog should have hearing this sharp, that I shouldnt physically beable to hear or discern these sounds as a human. Another time, my ex-fianc and I wentto see a movie, one of the rare times we got out for a break without the children. In themiddle of the movie, I suddenly felt a powerful twisting of my insides below my

    stomach. Now, I have had the experience of mystomach flipping before, but this feltcompletely different, and startled me. Returning to the parking lot after the movie, wefound that my car had been broken into, the change drawer and glove compartmentflung open and coins scattered everywhere. In the instant that I turned around to theback seat and saw the two childrens car seats facing me, with my childrens jacketsthrown against them by a strangers hand, I realized that it was my uterus that hadflipped during the movie. I knew then that it was connected to the break-in.

    Ill bet many mothers have similar stories to tell, stories of that visceral sensing and theinexplicable connection with their children.

    The children are great healers. You hear this over and over again, but its hard to realizeuntil youve experienced it yourself. Before the children came along, I was not listeningto my body, but rather I was pushing and punishing my body, staying up late forexperiments, working odd hours, and starving then stuffing myself with any foodobtained by the quickest route possible. I had no rhythm. The children they do wellon a regular, predictable schedule. They need their naps at a certain time, to be fed at acertain time, and to be played with at a certain time, or theyll let you know in nouncertain terms that theyre not happy! I had to get on schedule with them. At the same

    8/36

    8

    time, I had to learn to go with the flow. I couldnt just write a list of things to do for theday and expect to do them. I had to be okay with not making it to the grocery store asplanned because one child dumped his entire lunch all over the floor, and the other onewas fussing for her nap by the time I cleaned up the mess. I also began to think moreabout the healthfulness of the environment in which we live and from which we

    consume, as children are very intimate practically one with their environment. Notonly are they looking at everything, but they are tasting, smelling, and literally smearingthemselves with their surroundings.

    Most profoundly, before the coming of my children, I never realized the depth of love Icould have for another human being. People instinctively know how healing it is toreceive love, but to have the opportunity to experience that kind of love-giving, to bethat limitless well of love, is a priceless, healing gift in itself. It will change the corenature of you. Although I was on back-breaking duty 24/7, in sharing each presentmoment with my babies, all day, day after day, I found the rhythm of my body andmyself. I know it sounds so mundane and youve heard this sort of stuff about children a

    million times before, but I just cannot begin to convey to you what a profoundexperience it has been to have my children come into my life.

    And so it began the books, the children, the slowing down and beginning to listen tomy body, my self.

    6. Healing and More Healing

    Bridge to Earth

    I started to read voraciously materials about our spiritual nature and other unexplainedenergetic phenomena. At first, I was interested in reading books by scientists, medicaldoctors, journalists, and psychologists not because of their formal education but inspite of it. I felt that if these people, who were rigorously trained to be analytical andrely on the five senses as I had been, saw something real in these topics, then there was apossibility that the material would be accessible to me as well. I wanted to exposemyself to this new information through a bridge, from a place of familiarity. I began toscour the internet, libraries, and bookstores. Once I started searching, I was amazed,absolutely amazed, by the number of books written by traditionally-trained scholars that

    addressed this topic. How could I have missed this whole world right in front of mynose? Some of the books had been on bestseller lists. One book led to another, until inthe blink of an eye, I was avidly reading material written by the fluffs without pre-judgment. For a time, I was so hungry for this information that I felt that I could not getenough. Besides my children, nothing had so passionately stirred my interest.

    I struggled at this time to heal my anger with my current situation, as well as anger frompast traumas that it had triggered. I tried to understand myself and where I keptrunning into the wall in the same places throughout my life. I explored many differentself-healing techniques, including the emotional freedom technique (a technique inwhich points along the acupuncture meridian lines are tapped to dissipate emotional

    blockages),[1]

    understanding my karmic and personality challenges through astrology,[2]

    and affirmations. Around this time, I came across aura healing through a book I foundin a bookstore: Change Your Aura Change Your Life[3] by Barbara Martin. It describeda healing meditation in which one envisions the down-raying of light of different colorsonto ones chakras. Now, I had tried meditation before, while dealing with the stressesof school. Years ago, my older sister had sent me a little paperback book,TheRelaxation Response,[4] by a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School whoseresearch showed the health benefits of transcendental meditation. The meditationtechnique described in this book involved the clearing of the mind in a quietenvironment through focus on a repetitive stimulus, such as a word or breathing. Iremember that I kept falling asleep during this mediation, probably because my bodydesperately needed the sleep at the time, and because I found it difficult to empty mymind of thoughts for a significant period. I gave up on it quickly. On the other hand,the light-based meditation of Ms. Martin stuck with me, maybe because it was time, orbecause Im a visually-oriented person who enjoys seeing in my mind the beautifulcolors of light rays and points of energy. I suppose that of the myriad techniques ofmediation out there, different ones will appeal to different people depending onindividual personalities and preferences. With the guidance of this book, I identifiedand acknowledged the negative self-beliefs and emotions I held which wastremendously healing in and of itself and imagined the clearing and revitalization ofmy aura through the down-pouring of nurturing light rays through my chakras.

    It was not long before I began to physically feel the downloading sensation of theserays. At first, I thought I was imagining it, as it was so not in the realm of my pastexperiences. It almost felt like being placed in a gentle electric field, being in a flow of avibrating energy. For the longest time, I kept questioning whether I was reallyexperiencing this sensation physically, even though sometimes this flowing electricalfield sensation rushed down so quickly and intensely upon request that it made me takea sharp breath. Always, the rays of light left me feeling nurtured and empowered. I wasleft in wonderment of this experience.

    During this period, I learned not only about mental/emotional/spiritual healing, buthealing at the physical level as well. I was being more or less forced to pay more

    attention to my body, as my health was deteriorating after the birth of my children.Being constantly around babies and not getting proper sleep or rest, I was strugglingwith a never-ending string of colds or the flu, and suffering sinus infections which I hadnever had before. My face broke out in rosacea-like symptoms, and I was always tiredand sick. I was probably no different from the millions of other mothers who are theprimary care-givers of very young children. Little by little, over the years, Iexperimented with holistic, natural ways of nurturing my health with proper diet, sleep,water, exercise, sinus rinses, and detoxification through juicing and saunas.

    It is only recently that, looking through my journal to write this story, I see the bigpicture of what I have been experiencing. I realized that many of those first years ofawakening were spent on self-discovery and healing, both my body and soul. I seepages and pages of journal entries about my past hurts and angers, my physicalailments, and the aha moments of self-realization which I denoted on the margins of

    my journal with pictures of a shining light bulb.

    I found that, for me, healing came about through a deep self-examination and takingtotal and complete responsibility for myself and for everything that happened in my life.It had a lot to do with being honest with who I am, and seeing things about myself that Ihad not seen before because I had been too embarrassed to admit themthe dark sideof myself. It was about examining my fears, and learning to forgive and love myself. Italso had to do with stopping the blaming of others for the difficulties that happened inmy life, and understanding that these situations are soul contracts which I haveattracted as opportunities for learning and growth. It was about coming into a fullrealization that each person I encountered in my life had a gift for me, whether it was

    joyful or challenging. It was about letting go of the dense beliefs and emotions whichwere weighing me down. It has been an ongoing inner journey to identify the roots ofmy beliefs and to stumble upon thrilling moments of realization through the continuingexperience of life. It is an ever-ongoing work.

    Self-awareness and self-responsibility. These were the keys to my healing and myempowerment.

    7. Spirit Guidance

    Bridge to Earth

    I dont know when it was that I first started feeling a presence during my meditation,but it was early in the awakening process, after I had been doing the light-raymeditations regularly. Almost everything I had read said we were being guided, if onlywe would choose to listen, so I was open to the possibility of my having a spirit guide.One day during meditation, I talked to her or him in my mind. I asked for a name andasked that I may see an image. The answers came easily in my mind. My guideappeared as an elderly Asian man of small stature, with youthful, twinkling eyes. Ifound him to be delightfully funny and playful. When I asked him questions about mylife, he answered me with irreverent, none-too-straightforward answers that made meboth laugh and think. He played the role of the wise fool with me, and I quickly grewto be quite fond of him and our conversations. Did I think he was real? Well, I knew, atthe time, that talking to him was fun for me. When I asked him about my problems, histeasing and thought-provoking replies, perhaps made up in own my mind, came quicklyand easily. I half believed him to be real, and the other half well, it was kind of fun andI didnt have to strain to think up his part of the dialogue. At best, he was really myguide. At worst, he was a fun exercise in imagination which came effortlessly andhelped me examine my own questions.

    It took several months for me to acknowledge to myself that whenever I was talking tohim, I would feel a soft, cool breeze across my face. It brushed gently over my eyes andnose, sometimes tickling me. I had noticed this breeze before, but had always attributed

    it to a drafty window, never mind that the breeze was pretty much localized across myface and blew no matter in which direction I faced, and even when I was lying down onmy bed with the cover over my face. I finally got online and googled it. I found that coolair was a common sign of the presence of spirit, which others have also reported feelingwhen contacting their spirit guides. Hmmm

    Years later, his presence was validated by others. This small, old Asian man was thefirst one to appear to an intuitive reader who was giving me a reading once. He was alsoseen coming in and out of my space by a fellow student during an evening of intuitiondevelopment exercises. Neither observer knew of his existence, and he showed himselfwhen I was least expecting him. But by that time, I had long known that he is real.

    I believe that he presented himself to me as he did, with humor and light-heartedness,so that I would be introduced without fear, and because I tend to take myself and my lifewaa-ay too seriously. Today, I know that I am being watched over by many, manyguides. However, I am forever grateful for this most gentle and loving guidance Ireceived when I took my first steps through the doorway to my new reality. Wordscannot convey my gratitude.

    8. Hand in Hand with Science

    Bridge to Earth

    I guess I had been primed for receiving all this information about the spiritual/energynature of humans and indeed, of all things at just the right time. The postdoctorallaboratory I had entered shortly before all this happened had not been my first choice,but it was where I landed. It was a laboratory that studied the quantum mechanicalprocess of enzymes. Now, going into the lab, I knew something about enzymes, but verylittle quantum mechanics, not being a physicist or a physical chemist. I had beenintroduced to the basic concepts of quantum mechanics through an undergraduatephysical chemistry requirement years ago. I remember being fascinated by the possiblerepercussions of quantum mechanical principles in the physical world, but had nopressing reason to delve into the subject further since passing the exam at the time.

    One of the basic tenets of quantum mechanics is that all matter (and energy) exhibitsboth particle-like and wave-like properties. Thus all matter can be described as a wavewith a certain wavelength basically as a vibrating energy. Inherent in even you and meis the flip side of our material nature, as energy waves. Because of this particle-wavedual nature of all things, rather amazing things can happen, which have been observedon very small scales. In the typical text book example, a bit of matter such as an electronwhich is trapped inside a box (trapped because it has insufficient energy to climb overthe impenetrable box walls) can suddenly materialize outside of the box. Despite notbeing allowed by classical mechanics, the electron has tunneled through the box wall.This is equivalent to throwing someone through a window without the window ever

    breaking. However, although there exists a real and finite probability of such an eventhappening i.e., it is possible this probability is said to be too miniscule for the larger,more complex objects to occur in any reasonable time frame. In any case, I rememberthinking during my postdoc that, if I indeed believe, as is unquestionably accepted byscientists of our time, that every matter has a wave nature, its not an impossible jumpfor me to believe in the reality of spirits, ghosts walking through walls, or the energeticauras of people. Indeed, I accepted this wave nature of matter so well that for mypostdoctoral project, I was actually trying to measure an effect that arose directly fromit.

    String theory and its various evolved versions, which have their foundation in quantum

    mechanics, are described by the physicist and writer Michio Kaku as making up one ofthe hottest research areas in the physics departments of universities around the worldtoday, and having irrevocably altered the scientific landscape of modern physics.[1] Thisline of theories is being so ardently pursued because it unifies the four fundamentalforces of nature strong force, weak force, electromagnetism, and (especially) gravityso much more successfully than any other theories have in the past. A single theory thatcan cohesively explain all four physical forces through beautifully simple andsymmetrical mathematics has been the Holy Grail of physicists, something that could

    reveal the core nature of the most elementary particles of matter to the birth of ouruniverse. String theory says that matter is simply vibrations of incredibly tiny strings inthe fabric of space-time. Analogously to musical notes, these strings vibrate at differentfrequencies that interact in harmonies to create the beautiful songs of matter. Whatseven more interesting is that for these theories to work out mathematically, they

    absolutely require the existence of multiple higher-dimensional space, beyond the threedimensions of space and the dimension of time of which we are currently aware.Furthermore, according to these theories, with high enough energy, there can be rips orportals in the fabric of space-time which can connect us to these higher dimensionaluniverses (as well making possible space and time travel within our own universe). Thelatest evolution of string theory, the M-theory, presents the fundamental constituents ofthe universe as vibrating membranes in higher dimensional space, and offers thepossibility of multiple or parallel universes. As much as this all sounds like sciencefiction, these scenarios are what are naturally falling out of mathematics-based theories.

    What would a higher dimensional world look like? It would be perhaps impossible for

    us, deeply ingrained in our three-dimensional experience, to imagine. However,analogies have been drawn by imagining how a three-dimensional world would beexperienced by two-dimensional people living in a two-dimensional world, like papercut-out dolls on a flat piece of paper. Dr. Kaku does a wonderful job of explaining thisperspective. For example, to a two-dimensional person, a three- dimensional spherepassing through the flat paper world would first look like a point, then a circleincreasing then decreasing in size, a point, and then nothing. To a two-dimensionalperson who can only sense and understand the cross section of the sphere, thismysterious object could appear, disappear, and change its appearance at will. Inanother example, a two-dimensional person trapped in a circular jail cell could besaved by a three-dimensional being who could lift the person off the 2-D circle and

    place him back on his flat paper world outside the circle. To the 2-D jail keeper, theprisoner would have vanished from the jail cell, and then magically appeared outside ofit in an instant. Certainly, unexplained by two-dimensional laws, these events wouldlook like magic to the two-dimensional people. Is it possible that the unexplainablephenomena that defy the current physical laws known in this dimension are glimpses ofthe higher-dimensional worlds and beings who inhabit them? Could the spirit worldthat Michael Newton spoke of be somewhere on another dimension nearby?

    It is currently believed that access to higher dimensions through inter-dimensionalportals is not possible at this time as it requires astronomically-high energies, on thescale of that available at the birth of universe, which are not accessible to us now. Yet

    the current scientifically-recognized fact shown by the recent satellite data is that we aresurrounded by, and indeed, seeped in, unimaginably huge amounts of energy whosenature is as of yet embarrassingly and completely unexplainable by modern science.This mysterious energy makes up 73% of the total energy and matter content in theuniverse, and has been termed dark energy. It may be, or be associated with, the earlier-recognized vacuum energy, the underlying energy that is measurable even in vacuumwhere nothing should exist, or zero point energy, the energy that persists even atabsolute zero temperature at which no kinetic energy should exist. So, after adding in

    14/36

    Bridge to Earth

    14

    dark matter the invisible, equally-unexplainable matter that makes up 23% of theenergy-matter of our universewe havent got a clue about the most basic nature of 96%of the energy-matter of our universe in which we live, breathe, and operate. Yet theseenergy and matter exist that, we do know. If we could harness this energy, in theory,we would have the energy source to reach through to higher-dimensional worlds.

    Perhaps were already doing it.

    So the picture that emerges for me is that fundamentally, we are vibrating energy waves,condensed into matter, that exist in this medium of energy whose properties arevirtually unknown to current science. The tails of our human waves extend through thismedium, this soup, which pervades through all of our universe and in which we all co-exist. It gives a literal meaning to the concept that we are all connected to each other,and indeed, to the entire universe. Often mentioned in regard to this universalconnection is the Maharishi effect,[2] of which one study of twenty-four U.S. citiesshowed that whenever 1% of a citys population carried out regular transcendentalmeditation, the citys crime rate dropped by 24%. Certainly, our brains and hearts[3]

    send out measurable, well-documented electromagnetic waves that extend beyond theboundaries of our physical bodies, but I believe, as many others do, that it is more thanthe scenario of electromagnetic waves as we know them traveling through three-dimensional space. I believe that we have multidimensional energy aspects to ourmake-up that we do not yet understand, as perhaps does this universal energy field andthe very space that we live in. I am coming to the belief that our consciousness, throughdeliberate intention, is a powerful manipulator of a tremendous multidimensionalenergy with which we can shape the fabric of space-time. Through this process, weliterally create the reality around us the material world as well as the attraction ofsituations and people into our lives. Indeed, according to the Copenhageninterpretation of quantum mechanics put forth by scientists, it is the observer, through

    the very act of observing, who determines what comes into existence as reality.

    I did not set off on a deliberate task to find scientific proof for this view of the worldand ourselves. I do not require proof for it. Rather than a comprehensive researchproject, it has been a very meandering, organic process for me, to connect the dots that Ifind as I follow what Im interested in learning about, what is happening in my life, andwhat I feel. I suppose we all do that in our attempt to make sense of our lives connectthe dots that come into our lives. I see these dots as not having solid boundaries likepushpins whose existence is solidly provable on the board, but as having fuzzy, hazyboundaries and being scattered everywhere. Which dots we choose to bring into ourlives, consciously or semi-consciously, and how we choose to connect these dots make

    up a lot of what we choose to believe and why.

    9. Validation Through Others

    Bridge to Earth

    As thrilled as I was with the shift in the paradigm of my reality and the personaltransformation I was experiencing, in the early years I periodically wondered whether Iwas making all this up in my head. I never thought I was going crazy; yet, I was goingthrough this experience in total (self-imposed) isolation, not sharing it or validatingwith anyone else. The first validation of energy I had through another adult person wascompletely unintentional. Around the time I had just finished reading the first twopivotal books, a woman who had just moved into the neighborhood struck up afriendship with me. Although I had rarely met someone as intelligent, insightful,honest, and interesting as her, she was like a tornado an intense, whirling ball of angryenergy due to her life experiences as well as her inherent, beautifully-passionatepersonality. I began to notice that after spending perfectly enjoyable afternoons inconversation with her, I felt twitchy and my hands shook when I got home. Once, I wasoverwhelmingly consumed for a few days with the thought that she should make a

    certain key life decision which I felt was none of my business so much so that I couldbarely care for my children or go about other daily functions. She showed up the nextafternoon at my door, saying that shed been thinking hard for the past few days aboutthe same life decision that had dominated my thoughts. It was only after moving awayfrom her about a year later that I realized that I had been absorbing much of heremotional and mental energy. I wondered whether I had been sensitive to otherpeoples energies all my life without knowing it, and that is one reason why I had feltdiscomfort being around people while growing up.

    When my son was between three and four, he exhibited quite a bit of intuition, even

    picking up information that I did not think he necessarily needed to know. In search ofpractical advice to help guide him, I approached an institute in the area that taughtpsychic development. I was searching for advice for myself, too, having recentlyrecognized my empathic nature, but I dont know if I would have had the nerve to go to aphysical building and talk to real people at that time had I not been motivated by mysons intuitive expressions. I ended up taking a class there about personal energymanagement and protection. While I didnt completely resonate with all aspects of theexperience, that experience as a whole served to solidly validate the reality of the human

    energy for me. There, we played with our energies and interacted with each othersenergies. In a focused state of light meditation, I could physically feel the rush ofanother students energy toward me as I listened to his telling me about the terrible dayor the wonderful breakthrough that he had. I found that my bodys reaction thenmatched with the emotional content of that persons experience extremely jittery or

    euphoric. Fellow students were able to accurately describe to me the appearance of thegrounding image I made up in my mind, an advanced student even telling me once thatits working better since I made it much thicker than I had the previous week (which Ihad, in my mind). At the moment the instructor threw energy of competition at usstudents, I saw the protective symbol I was imagining in my head jump up and glowbrightly to absorb this energy, although the instructor had not told us what he did orwhen till afterwards. When I first learned about this mental tool of protective symbolvisualization, I misunderstood the instructions and visualized the symbol actuallytouching my aura, instead of hovering just outside of my aura. During one class, whenwe were briefly exposed to a large crowd of people outside of this learning institute, Isaw my protective symbol suddenly grow as big as the ceiling of the room in my mind,and felt a tremendous, overwhelming pulsation through my body. My instructoractually saw what was happening with my mental symbol, and was able to advise that Ineed to take it out of my aura so that Im not absorbing everything in my environmentthrough it.

    Through these kinds of experiences, I saw how real my thought creations are, that theyare literally able to interact with the outside physical environment and be perceived byothers, albeit at different levels. Conversely, I saw how other peoples mental andemotional energies, both consciously and non-consciously created, interact with me.

    Subsequently, over the years, I began to seek out others who are open to the spiritual

    and creative nature of humans and who share my beliefs. I explored Reiki healing,attended Unity churches for a while, and have been to many meetings of like-mindedpeople found through the social networking website Meetup.com.[1] Initially, to keepreminding myself thatwhat Im experiencing is real and not only in my head, thisoutside validation of our energy nature was critical to me. What the heck even today, itis just as important for me to periodically validate the reality of this new reality throughother human beings. There is also much joy in these connections.

    10. Something Happens

    Bridge to Earth

    It was January of 2008, just at the beginning of the new year. I had been experiencingdifficulty connecting with my spirit guide. I had been having interrupted sleep, wakingup between 2 and 4 am for many nights, sometime for unknown reason, sometimes inthe midst of morbid dreams. I was settling down in bed one night, drifting off to sleep,when I felt my bed start to shake. Living in California and having experienced minorearthquakes before, I immediately thought that there was an earthquake going on, but Isaw nothing else in my room moving but my bed. Then I realized that it was not somuch that the bed was moving, but that it wasme vibrating and my vibrations wereshaking and rattling the bed. The powerful vibrations emanated from the core of mybody, not from my outer extremities. Of course, I was scared out of my wits! In myhead, I started to call out to angels and God and whoever else could hear me, to protectme, help me, anyone, please! I frantically tried to visualize protective light all aroundme. The panic! I eventually jumped out of bed and started walking around, till thesensation gradually went away. These bodily vibrations came back for several morenights as I settled down to sleep, becoming less and less intense each subsequent night.Although Im someone who always feels cold with cold hands and feet, I would wake upin the middle of these winter nights kicking off the covers because I was vibrating, hot,and sweating. My toes started to get itchy, red, and swollen on top, which I attributed tochilblains arising from the rapid changes in my body temperature. In those days, evenduring the waking hours, I felt my body gently vibrate when I had been sitting downquietly for a while, working in front of the computer.

    During this period, at night after my kids had gone to bed and the house had settleddown, I also heard ringing tones. It somehow reminded me of the echoing of whalesongs, but the ringing tones were more distinct and there was a definite musical qualityto them. I heard them so loudly and clearly, that I initially looked for an outside sourceinstead of assuming that I was hearing it inside my head. I remember walking aroundthe house with my head tilted, trying to catch the direction of the source. Unlike thebodily vibrations which had initially frightened me, I found these sounds beautiful andfascinating. This, too, continued for many nights, although not as loudly and clearly asthe first night. To this day, I can hear this beautiful ringing music. Many nights, I fallasleep listening to it.

    An interesting side effect of this experience is that I started to feel the presence of anamazingly loving, soft, feminine energy whom I visualized in my mind as a beautiful,glowing shepherdess of the Biblical times. The beauty, purity, and nurturing essence offemininity that she emanated were breathtaking. Her appearance was followed by amore masculine, yet just as pure, energy. They were definitely of a different nature thanmy spirit guide, who was full of personality and with whom I could chat back and fortheasily. These beings felt more like pure light, had less of the human personality, and

    frustratingly, I could not communicate with them as easily. Based on what Ive read andheard in the past, they seemed like angels to me, so that is what I started calling them.For the next couple of years, they would be the guides with whom I wouldpredominantly choose to consult.

    I wondered whether this whole experience was facilitated by the electromagnetic forceprotector[1] that I had recently installed in the home, which was supposed to provideshielding from man-made electromagnetic waves. Upon asking during meditation howto help my daughter overcome the constant colds she had that winter, I had been guidedto look into electromagnetic radiation the dense sea of artificially-created energy inwhich we live our modern lives.[2] I also wondered whether I had gone through akundalini awakening experience at this time. I remembered reading that the kundalini,believed by the yogis to be a powerful spiritual energy at the base of the spine, canawaken and rise up the spine with possible heat and vibration accompaniment.

    I wasnt quite sure what had happened, but I knew that I had entered a new level.

    11. Ascension

    Bridge to Earth

    I went to the internet to try to figure out what had happened. Ah, the internet! It hasbeen an amazing and limitless source of information for me, almost like a primitive,physically-wired version of the consciousness field that I believe we live in. I had beenfollowing the website of Lee Carroll, a channel for an angelic being called Kryon,[1] whospoke of the shift a massive, transformative shift in energy that Earth and her peopleare currently undergoing. Kryons messages had been particularly attractive to me, ashe often wove together fascinating science with his loving and illuminating spiritualmessages. When I went to this website shortly after my experience of January 2008, I

    found that transcriptions of two channelings had just been posted, distinguished fromthe other postings with pink highlight and bold, red IMPORTANT stamps. Thesechannelings spoke of the transition between the years 2007 and 2008 as being one ofthe milestones in the ongoing process of the shift, as a time of completion (2007) andnew beginning (2008). Kryon advised those hearing the message to just hold on at thistime, as it is a time when the familiar old energy is leaving and being replaced by apowerful, enhanced, new energy. The contents of these messages helped me fit myparticular experience of January 2008 into a bigger picture.

    Others on the web had alsobeen talking of this energetic shift, or ascension that Earthis going through. This topic had recently begun to attract to my attention, because I wasstarting to recognize the collection of changes in myself in the past several years, whichothers were also reporting, as symptoms of the ascension. Certainly, after theexperience of January 2008, I became much more focused on learning about this

    process. Possible symptoms connected to the ascension include:[2]

    interruptions insleep pattern (for me, periodically waking up between 2 am and 4 am for several nightsin a row), unfamiliar activity in the head area (tickling sensation on crown of my head,moving pressures inside my head, and points of cool air on my head), extremesensitivity of any of the five senses to people and environment, drastic changes in eatinghabits, feeling electrical energy waves through the body, spaciness, memory lapses, flu-like symptoms without actually getting the flu, unexplainable emotional fluctuations,fatigue, increased intuitive abilities and awareness, increased experiences of alteredstates of consciousness, invisible presences, visions, increased synchronicity in lifeevents, life-altering events that force the slowing down and re-examining of ones life,past issues coming up for clearing, moving through personal learning at a rapid pace,friendships and other connections suddenly dissolving, a need to clear out and clean outones life, a deep need for introspection and solitude, creativity bursts, a deep yearningfor meaning and purpose, an insatiable desire to read everything spiritual, and suddenlyhaving perspectives one would never have considered before. I am so grateful for theguidance of those who came earlier, who identified these and other symptoms on theirwebsites, and shed light on them with explanations and coping strategies.

    What exactly is it, this ascension or great shift? Perhaps you have heard of oneperspective of it, the one currently being put forth by the popular media as the 2012phenomenon, which connects the Mayan calendar to an apocalyptic event in the year2012. No one seems to agree on quite what it is, but there is definitely a sense in the air

    right now, that we are in, or on the brink of, a great change on a global scale. Perhaps itis the collapsing of our global economy which is causing much hardship around theworld, and the sense that business cant go on as before. Perhaps it is the controversyabout global warming and ice age, and the realization that we face a very uncertainfuture with the unsustainable way were living. Perhaps its the election of the firstUnited States president with a black heritage, who is trying to do things quite differentlyfrom the way they have been done in the past. Perhaps it has to do with the ancientprophecies of the religious scriptures and of the indigenous peoples around the world,which all seem to be saying the same thing, more-or-less. Or perhaps it has to do withthe numerous, catastrophic geophysical changes and weather anomalies that are beingexperienced around the world. Personally, I have come to believe that I am a part ofsomething massive that is going on, one that is affecting not just my personal life but thewhole of Earth in every respect. I will share my perspective with you, a mix of scienceand metaphysics, but please take it as that only my personal perspective.

    According to what I have read and my discernment of those readings, Earth and herhumanity are currently undergoing a monumental transformation to a higher vibratoryenergy level, in which we are shifting to a higher dimension above the third dimensionand the dimension of time in which we currently exist. This is a time of a quantum leap

    in the evolution of the humankind, in which a profound shift of our consciousness, a risein our consciousness, will be experienced. It is a time when we are evolving beyondseeing ourselves as separate beings in survival mode, and see the connection amongourselves and Earth. It is a time when we will be able to balance and transcend thepolarities of light and dark, of good and evil, and see from a higher, integrated

    perspective. It is a time when we come into a full realization of our dual spiritual(energy) and biological (matter) nature. It is a time of reaching heightened compassionand greater harmony.

    It is believed that this process is being facilitated by incoming galactic energies, whichare reaching Earth via our sun.

    It is scientifically known that we receive not only heat and visible light from our sun, butalso bombardments of extremely high-energy particles and the entire spectrum ofelectromagnetic radiation through periodic solar winds, solar flares, and coronal massejections.[3] All this turbulent solar activity arises from the suns strong and dynamicmagnetic nature. In fact, the suns magnetic field influences all the planets in our solarsystem through its heliosphere, a massive bubble filled with magnetized solar windplasma that extends beyond Pluto. Life on Earth, which depends on the delicate balanceof solar energy it receives, is shielded from the detrimental effects of this powerful solaractivity by the Earths own magnetic field.[4] The intrinsic magnetic field of the Earthinterfaces and interacts with the effects of solar magnetism, forming Earthsmagnetosphere.

    Just as Earth is influenced by the magnetism of the sun, the sun is influenced by themagnetism of our galaxy.[5] The strongest magnetic field in the galaxy can be found in

    the galactic center,[6]

    which emanates very-high-energy electromagnetic rays[7]

    andharbors a massive compact object obscured from view by interstellar dust.[8]Metaphysically, the galactic center has been referred to as the great central sun, thesource of the central force of the galaxy. The galactic magnetic field lines form anoverall spiral pattern, and control the density and distribution of high-energy particlesthe cosmic rays in the interstellar medium of the galaxy.[9] As our sun orbits aroundthe galaxy every 225-250 million years,[3] taking its planets along for the ride, itnaturally travels through areas of varying energy densities. It is put forth by DavidWilcock, [10] a researcher of consciousness with a significant compilation of scientificdata, that the entrance of heavenly bodies into areas of higher energy densities ingalactic space creates a dimensional shift, or a shift in vibratory rate, in those heavenlybodies. As I understand it, the space itself the region of space traversed by theheavenly bodies is of a higher dimension because of its particular energetics. Itnaturally follows that as the sun enters the higher-energy interstellar medium, ittransmits the received energy to Earth and other planets within its heliosphere.

    How does this translate to human evolvement and the ascension? It is believed from themetaphysical perspective that the Earths magnetic field interacts with the magneticnature of the human DNA.[11] Although the magnetic properties of DNA have not been

    well studied by current science, it is now well accepted that DNA can act as an electronicconductor.[12] In fact, recent experimental evidence shows that DNA can act as asuperconductor of electric current.[13] It had also been discovered earlier that thestructure of the DNA telomere (end of the chromosome) is a closed loop, rather than anopen-ended strand as long believed.[14] Thus, the most basic principles of electricity,

    which say that an electric current flowing through a loop creates a magnetic field,support the presence of a magnetic field in the human DNA. In this way, through theinterfacing of magnetic fields, there is a connection from the energies of the galaxy tothe sun to the Earth to the human DNA, and finally to my ascension symptoms. Itseems that our very DNA is changing in this ascension process, and in some way that Idont yet understand, is taking on a higher-dimensional aspect.

    One premise that needs to be taken from the outset in this whole perspective that Ipresent is that the galactic energy or rather, the universal energy which permeates usand the heavenly bodies, contains intelligent information, which defines and cantransform the most basic nature of matter and life. Indeed, it is my personal belief, as is

    of many others, that the energyitselfis intelligent, it is conscious, it is the stuff of God,if you will. Some call it the consciousness field, and some equate it with pure love. Irealize this is a huge paradigm shift for most people. However, we have only recentlyfound out how abysmally little we know about the nature of the vast majority of energyand matter in this universe. In fact, as one NASA website puts it, maybe the 4% normalmatter whose properties we do know something about shouldnt be called normal atall, since it is such a small fraction of the universe.[15]

    Whatever the fundamental nature of energy-matter, we are made of the same stuff theheavenly bodies and us. Thus, it is of the metaphysical view that like us, the heavenlybodies, including Earth, are conscious beings. The Earth, too, is said to be going

    through her ascension symptoms, along with her people. The turbulent geophysicaldisturbances and weather patterns reflect the releasing of the dense energies of Earthshuman inhabitants, which are currently vibrating at an overall level that does not matchEarths rising vibratory rate. It is believed that our very consciousness collectivelyinteracts with, and is reflected in, the physical Earth. Indeed, we are intrinsic parts ofeach other, Earth and humanity.

    The movements of the sun and Earth in the galaxy are periodic and measurable by time,making predictable their positions and orientations in galactic space at any given time.This advanced knowledge was the basis of the Mayan calendar, which ends onDecember 21, 2012.[16] This date marks the alignment of the winter solstice sun with thegalactic center, during which the galactic center, the sun, and the Earth with its NorthPole tilted furthest away from the sun will be perfectly aligned on the equatorial plane ofthe galaxy. According to the Mayan calendar, this time will also mark the end of the25,920-year precessional cycle of Earth, in which the rotational axis of Earth will havetraced out a complete circle in the sky through its precession.

    Aside from ancient calendars and prophesies, there is quite a bit of scientificobservations to suggest that we are indeed in a special time. A huge amount of scientificdata from various sources, relevant to this view, has been pulled together by DavidWilcock.[17] It has been speculated by scientists that the journey of the solar systemaround the galaxy has been a factor in the periodic mass extinctions on Earth, [3] which

    are followed by a massive rise in the evolution of new species. A recent study of fossilrecords uncovered a mass extinction/evolution cycle of every 62 3 million years,[18]placing our present time right on top of the next cycle. Indeed, environmental scientistssay that the largest mass extinction in65 million years is already well under way.[19]

    There have also been observations that show that not only Earth, but all the planets inour solar system, are currently experiencing a period of unprecedented, anomalousspace weather and global changes.[17] Our sun, which accounts for 99.86% of the mass ofthe solar system, is the predominant force behind our solar systems space weather andgoes through 11-year cycles of solar activity.[3] The last solar cycle, cycle 23 (1996-2008),showed unprecedented activity, producing the most powerful solar flares on record.[20]

    During this period, it was found that the sun was more active than it had been for amillennium judging by the sunspot activity,[21]and that the overall strength of the sunsmagnetic field had more than doubled between 1901 and 2000.[22] However, the furiousactivity of solar cycle 23 has been followed by an unusually deep solar minimum [23]leading into the current solar cycle (cycle 24), a lull in activity which started in 2007 andwhich was the longest solar minimum in nearly a century.[24] In 2008, scientistsannounced that that the suns heliosphere had weakened by more than 20% since themid-1990s, bringing it to a 50-year low and compromising its ability to shield theplanets in our solar system from the galactic cosmic rays.[25]

    Meanwhile, the Earths magnetic field, our closest layer of protection from incoming

    space energies, is weakening and has declined in strength by 10% since the last 150years.[26]The position of Earths magnetic field is also rapidly changing, the fast speedsof its fluctuations and shifting of its magnetic poles surprising scientists and causingspeculations of a magnetic pole reversal of Earth.[27] In 2007, NASA discovered a giantbreach forming in the Earths magnetic field, which was ten times larger than anythingpreviously thought to exist and which formed in a completely anomalous manner,allowing in a torrent of streaming solar wind particles an order of magnitude greaterthan what was thought possible.[28] Of course, we have been seeing an unprecedentedrise in the magnitudes and frequencies of earthquakes, volcanic activity, tornados,hurricanes, cyclones, floods, and other disruptive geophysical events, very possibly inconnection to the space weather.[17]

    As well, reports compiled during the last solar cycle showed that other planets in oursolar system are undergoing a variety of anomalous changes, including signs of globalwarming (Mars), dramatic increase in brightness (Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, Neptune),surprisingly substantive magnetic and atmospheric changes (Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter,Mars, Venus, Mercury, Pluto, Saturn), and increased energetic charge (Jupiter,Saturn).[17] According to Russian scientists, our solar system has been moving into ananomalous area of the interstellar medium with a highly charged material and

    energetic non-uniformity.[17]More recently, according to NASA news, In 2009, cosmicray intensities have increased 19% beyond anything weve seen in the past 50years,[29]due to the lengthy solar minimum.

    From the astrophysical perspective, it seems that something is going on at this time.

    Naturally, there is a lot of controversy about what it will mean in terms of daily life onEarth as we go through the shift and receive this incoming energy. Some, as I do, see itas a joyful ending of the old and the beginning of the new, in which the incomingenergies will support the rising of our consciousness and a new way of being. Others areafraid that the incoming energies may be catastrophically disruptive, and lead to amassive ending of life on Earth as we know it.

    My belief is that we are already in the midst of this transformational energy, and havebeen for a long time, since around 1987.[1] It has been calculated that because of the

    diameter of the sun, it would take about 36 years for the entire sun to pass across thegalactic equator, and the precise alignment of the center point of the suns body with thegalactic equator occurred in 1988.[16] The shifting of Earth is well under way, and youare already seeing what it is like. What we are experiencing today, in the world at largedown to our personal lives, is the transitional phase. On the planetary level, wereseeing the turbulent geophysical events. On the societal level, were seeing thecrumbling of the old, established ways, in financial structures, in governments, alongwith an unprecedented rise in the awareness of our global interconnection. On thepersonal level, perhaps you are feeling the effects, as I have, in your life and personalgrowth. Old energy is being cleared now, making way for the new energy that is comingin and gradually being rooted here.

    So Earth is already undergoing the shift according to the predictable cycle of time, but asalways has been, each human being has a choice. As individuals, we can choose to raiseour frequencies to match that of Earths as she is going through the process. We canalso choose not to, but it will then be a more inconvenient transition, as highervibrations cannot co-exist with the denser, lower-frequency vibrations. We as humansof Earth have made such wonderful progress in the very recent years, in our dawningawareness of our responsibility as stewards of our environment, the most basic rights ofall living beings, our connection to each other and the rest of Earth. I have read that wehave averted the experience in our reality of the apocalyptic disaster predicted by thenumerous ancient prophecies because of our recent choice to rise in group

    consciousness. Each one of us is a powerful creator, and each one of us, through ourindividual choices, has a role in this planetary process. Collectively, we can influencethe very experience of the transition. As a group, we have the power to affect the thegeophysical behavior. As well, I have read that our bodies, while remaining physical,will change in their intrinsic nature to one that is more compatible with the higherincoming energies.

    So, how do you begin the process of raising your consciousness, your vibration, yourfrequency whatever you want to call it? Where in the world do you start? I once read avery simple advice to this inquiry, which was: Allow your curiosity to open doors.[1] Ilove it! Just allow your curiosity to open doors and discover the truth about yourselfand the world. Simply intend to be open and to find your truth. Become aware. The

    search, the journey itself, will help the planet vibrate higher. I believe that once youstart the journey of opening yourself to new knowledge and new experiences, the restwill follow.

    12. Note: About Discernment

    Bridge to Earth

    In my view, discernment is a critical starting point in your journey of discovery.Through discernment, you are taking absolute responsibility for what you choose tobelieve and why. Thus you are taking complete self-responsibility for definingyourreality.

    There is a lot of information out there, especially now that we have the internet. Someof the information is conflicting, everything from where the chakras are located, to themore emotionally-challenging, catastrophic versus transformational views of the 2012phenomenon. How do you find your truth as you approach this vast sea of newinformation?

    My personal belief is that there can never be enough evidence to prove anything, at leastto me. So while I know that I dont need absolute proof (whatever that is) to believewhat I choose to believe, even at thebeginning of this journey, I didnt buy everythingthat I read or heard. From the beginning, what I knew was that there were some wordsthat I read or heard that rang true to me, deep in my core. It was as if I had known itall along in the back of my mind, but had forgotten it and remembered it fully againupon reading it. These moments are epiphanies. They touch me emotionally. There is
