The Akashic Records Change Over Time

Yup, that’s right. The Akashic Records change over time. (See my last post for more on this.) As you can imagine, this makes things a little bit complicated when it comes to channeling the Monthly, Weekly and Daily Messages.

The potentials for each month shift as we approach the month. The individual and collective directions we will take help shape the potentials for the month. If I were to channel a message for a month years in advance, the information will have changed so much by the time we get there that the information might not fit. I mentioned in a previous post that I typically channel the Monthly Message about six weeks in advance.  I do this in advance to make sure that the information I channel isn't influenced by my personal thoughts on what might be coming up.  If I were to do the channeling just a few days before the month begins, I would still see the channeled information but I would have to work harder to keep my own ideas out of the way.

Still, a lot can change in six weeks. So I check in with the Akashic Records of the month a few days before it begins to see if I need to add something to the original message. This is the reason that members of my website, who have access to the message a month in advance, will sometimes see small differences between the Looking Ahead message and the Monthly Message when it is posted for the public.

I’ve learned so much in the last four or five years as I’ve been channeling Monthly Messages. I am continually astounded to see just how much our collective choices really do set up the energy for the future. This means that each one of us is constantly writing our part in the potential for humanity. Don’t underestimate the power of a positive thought or an empowered choice in your life. Each of us really is helping to choreograph the potential for the world!

Back to Our Regularly Scheduled Programming

With all that is happening in the world these days, I find I am at a loss for words. What can I say that we are not all feeling in our hearts already? Libya, Japan, and other places in the world are calling our attention to open our hearts, and there is no way to tell how all of this will unfold.

So, I’m returning to our regularly scheduled programming to tell you more about the Akashic Records.

The Akashic Records change over time. This can sometimes be confusing when trying to make predictions -- but when you really think about it, it makes perfect sense.

The fact that they change is a direct effect of free will. Because there are billions of human beings on the planet, as well as countless other souls involved in this world, each moment brings a new set of possibilities based on who has decided what. The soul of every person is constantly making decisions about what will serve us best, and our souls negotiate with the souls of others to create potentials for events that will serve us all.

This means that each of our souls is in constant communication with the collective. Each of us had a soul that is participating in the events in Japan and Libya, and everywhere else for that matter. Somehow our spirit can contain all the potentials and all the decisions made by everyone else on the planet, all the time.

Seems insanely complex, right?  Well, it is.

Our world is unfathomably dynamic, and the Akashic Records reflect this. Therefore, anything we have planned for the future is bound to change based on our personal decisions and the decisions made by everyone involved. I mean everyone – the angels, spirit guides, and the souls of all the people who are connected with the event.

When I really think about this, my mind feels like it might explode. Luckily, my conscious mind doesn’t need to comprehend all this. In fact, it can’t. My conscious mind can simply gather what it needs to know from intuition in order to keep me in harmony with that bigger picture.

The key to using the Akashic Records in our everyday lives is to remember that the only information that matters is what we experience in the present moment. If we stop striving to understand everything and instead try to listen for what is evident now, then we’ll get more information in that moment. Then we'll get more in the next moment, and so on.

The fact that the Akashic Records change over time does make channeling future events somewhat complicated.  Stay tuned to find out how this effects my channeling of the Monthly Message!

Hidden Wisdom

I love the way the world seems to be filled with hidden messages, just waiting for us to pay attention and find them. As I stood in line at the store today, I found this little thought in one of Martha Stewart’s magazines:

“Individual effort is the only way to make a collective difference.”

This is EXACTLY what the Akashic Records say in almost every channeling. In order for the world to become enlightened, we must each do our part to make our own lives honest, powerful, and filled with love.

Especially when there is so much changing in the world at large, be sure to keep your own house in order, so to speak. This includes doing what you can to help in the bigger things – just be sure your efforts come from a place of peace and power in your own heart!

Tsunami Revolution

It is difficult for me to find words as I watch news unfold of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan this week. What can any of us say that could possibly capture the magnitude of this kind of event, and the breadth of human suffering that unfolds when it happens?

It feels like there is too much pain happening in the world.  That somehow I need to hold in my heart, or find a way to fix the situation – and it is so big that it all just slips through the fingers of my comprehension.  And then I feel powerless.  Do you know what I mean?

I’ve been feeling this way for a while, even before the earthquake struck. I felt this way when people took to the street in Egypt and overthrew Hosni Mubarak last month. This feeling expanded when civil protest spread across other countries in Arab regions, including Libya where violence has become common in the last week and civil war seems possible.

In the US, I see this happening with workers in Wisconsin rising up to fight for collective bargaining rights.

I can’t remember a time when there were so many truly huge stories in the news at once.  Because I can’t find the words, myself, I’ve looked to see what the Akashic Records have offered to help find some bit of sense in what’s happening. I dug up some channelings from the Archives on my website. The one that struck me most is this:

“... Earthquakes are related to revolution; they often occur in a place where change either needs to take place, or where changes are taking place very rapidly. They certainly serve as a way to get your attention, not just those who experience the earthquake on the ground, but also those who learn about the earthquake through the news or through stories.

Another general purpose and effect of earthquakes is that they are a harbinger of change and they are a request for change. They ask you to release something. Whenever you feel an earthquake, hear about an earthquake, or read about an earthquake, it would serve you well to sit back and ask yourselves, “What can I release now?” “What in my life is outdated or old, what is no longer serving me and how can I let that go?” and finally, “Who am I becoming?” (July 2008)

I channeled this passage from the Akashic Records in July 2008. Back then I never would have dreamed that there would be a day when the news on TV would be reporting such dramatic social revolution unfolding in Arab countries at the very same time one of the biggest earthquakes hit. I did know then, and we all know now, that we are a global community. When something happens in one part of the world, we are all connected with it and it is all part of one story – our collective story.  The coincidence of huge changes happening across the world at one time is meaningful.  I think we are witnessing the truth of our collective story and learning how to change together for the better.

Looking ahead, I feel a powerful mix of fear and excitement. I can begin to imagine how people throughout the world might really step into collective empowerment and dismantle so many forms of oppression. And I feel afraid that much more pain and suffering will unfold along the way.

My heart goes out to people involved in disasters, both natural and human-made. May we all keep our hearts and our eyes wide open as revolution spreads and, hopefully, we continue to become a more peaceful and just human family.

Daily, Weekly and Monthly Messages

If you’ve visited my website, you’ve probably figured out by now that I offer channeled messages from the Akashic Records. I offer channelings on topics, and I offer a channeling for every day, week and month. The Monthly Message is a complimentary feature, and the Daily and Weekly Messages are available for members of my site.

Many people are curious about how, exactly, a channeling like this occurs. So I’ll tell you!

I sit down to channel the messages one or two months in advance. I try to do the channeling far enough in advance that I can’t have any preconceived ideas about what will be happening that would interfere with what I see in the Akashic Records. But I also try to do it late enough that the energy for that time period has taken shape so that I can see it clearly. About six weeks in advance usually hits the mark.

This is the place where I usually sit for channelings in my office.


When I sit down to perform a channeling, I really do just that. I sit in my office and access the Akashic Records for the time period I’m seeking. Then I ask three simple questions – What energy can we expect? How can we work with the energy? What else do the Akashic Records have to tell us?


I speak out loud to express the answers I see in the Akashic Records.  Once the message is recorded, transcribed and posted on my website, I have usually forgotten what it says. When it’s time for me to read the messages from my own personal perspective, I see it fresh just like you. It is always a curious process for me to arrive at time period and discover if the message really fits for me or not. 


Someone recently wrote to tell me that she experiences the Daily Messages one day in advance, rather than on the day it is posted. I think this kind of thing happens for most people -- the messages hit the mark most of the time, but sometimes they don’t. It happens this way for me in my own life, too.


Why do we all experience the Messages differently? Well, because we are all different! I figure that sometimes I’m in synch with the universal rhythm and sometimes I’m not. And sometimes I am more sensitive and susceptible to that universal energy depending on what is happening in my life. 

It’s also a matter of timing. Because the lines we place around periods of time are artificial, the energy for any given day, week or month bleeds into the time before and afterward. I think we experience the energy in unique ways based on what particular energy we need to experience for our personal journey. Sometimes we really need the energy of a particular day so we pick it up early, or feel it linger into the following day. 


When you read the Monthly, Weekly and Daily Messages, I encourage you to sense your own attunement and make adjustments in how you read the messages so they fit the unique ebb and flow of your life. We each ride the waves of energy just as we need them to best suit our individual path. Celebrate the waves you catch and trust they will lead you right where you need to be!

Co-active Summit

Last week I flew from Seattle to Florida to make my first public appearance in four years. FOUR YEARS. I don’t know why it took me so long. I'd like to say I was just busy building my website and doing personal consultations, but I admit a secret fear of flying might have had something to do with it!

It was wonderful to be doing Akashic Records work with real people again! I do get to talk to some of you when I offer Live Channeling events by phone every month, but I miss seeing people -- real, live people like you!

I went to Florida to talk about the Akashic Records at the Coaches Training Institute’s Co-active Summit. If you are a coach or an organizational leader, you’ve got to check these folks out. They do some amazing work.

My wonderful colleague and business coach, Wayne Caskey inspired me to join him in presenting the Akashic Records as a way to facilitate a bigger way of seeing leadership and our place in human evolution. (Check out his website for more on this approach!)
 

Here I am, on the right, with Wayne in the middle.  We also presented with an amazing shaman, Heidi McBratney, on the left. 

It was great fun to be surrounded by over four hundred coaches and leaders doing Co-active work.  What exactly is Co-active work?  Well, in three days of the Summit I heard a great many definitions, and the conclusion I’ve come to it this:  Co-active work means doing anything in a way that is centered on growing together, person-to-person, with mutual respect and empowerment.  This can apply to everything from a simple conversation to how an entire corporation is run.

This is a model that fits very well with what the Akashic Records have been telling us – that we must shift into ways of working that are mutually empowering.  Mutually empowering means that, even when one is “in charge,” they are not in charge at the expense of the free will and well being of others.  It means that we must change our ways of working together so that everyone wins.  When we do this, we can relax, be playful, and love each other more openly.  

And I’m all for that!
