The Story Report V3 #9

Here we are, Monday is March 1st already. Can you believe it? The days going by so quickly.

In Australia, we live by the calendar instead of by nature’s cycles. And so in Australia, March 1st represents the first day of Autumn. Summer, is over until next year.

It’s been interesting to listen to the late night radio program, as I do most nights, which is broadcast nationally throughout Australia. And down south, in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne, they have had one of the hottest summers ever. Yet here we are in the tropics – well the tropics by latitude anyway, even though we are 3000 feet above sea level - and this has been the coldest summer in the 6 years that I’ve been up here.

Sadly, I’ve said it before and will say it again many more times in the future, these earthquakes and geo-physical calamities will continue for a number of years to come yet.

So once again, as with the people in Haiti who are still struggling, our thoughts and hearts also now go out to those affected in Chile.

Next Wednesday – March 3rd - my little 4-legged girl will have been with me for 4 weeks. And my-goodness, has she grown from the tiny, scrappy, and dare I say ugly little thing when I brought her home, to a beautiful little girl. She is at least 3 times as big as she was when she arrived.

Also over the first couple of weeks, because it was so unexpected that I’d get a little girl, she had many different names. Finally, I tested some of them out on her and the one she always took notice of and still does is TABSSIE. Like in Tabby. Not terribly creative I know, but I had to come up with something.

Not only was it important that she have a name that attracted her. But it also had to conform to some very precise numerological specifications.

Today, I've included a feature article that I’m sure you’ll find interesting.

This time I’ll begin with a 20 – 30 minute talk about Crop Circles, what we can learn from them, and how they relate to our present time as we move up to this forthcoming New
World ERA.

Your questions will be VERY welcome indeed. In fact, you can go to the webcast page now and put them in the Q & A box right away.

Then after my talk, the lines will be open for discussion on that topic, or any other topic, that you’d like to discuss.

For all our new Raising Love Consciousness family members, our Open-Line calls give you the opportunity to:

discuss the topic of the day;
discuss the Feature Article published here in The Story Report
share with us how our changing world is affecting your life. And if you like, we can help support and empower you by exploring different perspectives;
you can also network by sharing with us what you are doing
Or just say hello. I love to hear where everyone is from.

EVENT: Crop Circles & Open-Line Discussion
DATE & TIME: Monday, March 1st at 6:00pm Los Angeles time
FORMAT: Simulcast! (Attend via Phone or Webcast -- it's your choice)

You'll find a list of local call-in numbers for many US cities by going to the Webcast Page and then clicking on the < other #s > link under the phone numbers

And remember if you're in Australia, you can buy a pre-paid International Phone Card and the call to the USA, which is where the teleseminar company is, will cost around a dollar.

As I mentioned in my “Replay” notice email, in speaking with Robert last time we covered so many areas, but didn’t really nail anything down. So on this call:

I want Robert to talk more about the Mayan 5th Day & Night which were about ethics and integrity so we can see how that played out with the collapse of the financial system which was definitely being run in an UN-ethical manner.

The other topic that we'll look at, if we get time, is how our weather patterns and our consciousness are BOTH being affected by galactic energy.

Last Monday/Tuesday, science/spirit researcher Robert Martin spoke about many aspects of the current changes affecting our world – both our internal world and our external world.

The replay of Robert’s call will remain up until after our next teleseminar/webcast. You can listen in at

Offer will expire in a couple of weeks. I’ll give you an exact date when I know what it is. I've got to finish my Embracing 2012 Sign-Up audio gift first.

As part of the preparation for my Embracing 2012 – audio gift, I found myself studying the work of a very special woman called Karen Bishop.

I speak about Karen and her work on the audio. Most of what she talks about has come from her own experiences coupled with a life-long psychic gift.

Karen doesn’t really speak about 2012 and the Mayan calendar, as such. Most of her work is designed to help us understand the “ascension” process. As I say in my audio, I’m not a great fan of using the term “ascension” because I think we have, in general, too many socio-cultural concepts of what that term can mean.

However, in this current context, and in its simplest form, “ascension” is used to talk about the significant shift in consciousness taking us to a new way of living.

One of the many things that I've found so interesting about Karen’s work is that in a number of her books, she speaks about the so-called symptoms of the ascension process. I for one am right up there with experiencing many of these symptoms which include things like:

Feeling over stretched almost beyond endurance;
Many emotional ups and downs, strange physical aches and pains, many losses in the form of friends, jobs, family, finances, and much of anything else;
A move to a new geographical location;
Feeling uncomfortable by those who are acting in a less than spiritual way;
Finding that the only way to stay sane is to be home in your own personal sanctuary;
Finding it increasingly difficult to spend substantial amounts of time around individuals who seem dis-connected, or “ego” driven;
Experiencing strange and disturbing nightmares that are not normal for you.

You can read more about these symptoms and dozens of others on Karen’s website – http://www.emergingearthangels.com and also in her books including, The Ascension Companion.

And even though I generally like to see something a little more concrete than just “psychic messages” of what might be happening at this time, there is something about Karen’s work which intuitively, as well as logically, makes sense to me. The thing that I find interesting is that I'm very drawn to her work despite it being quite different to the general stories that abound at the moment. Sure the underpinning foundation of a shift in consciousness, that everyone speaks about, is still there. But she differs significantly in the details.

And so I’d like to briefly share her overall perspective on this time and our “ascension”.

Karen Bishop claims that, globally, we began to move to higher levels of consciousness, in a significant way, in 2000. And I can certainly attest to the fact that I have ‘felt’ and experienced through my work and life experience a major global increase in consciousness over the past 10+ years.

Obviously, many of us have being growing spiritually for decades. But as a global phenomenon, a major shift began in earnest in 2000 with those who had reached a certain level of consciousness and spiritual evolution “ascending” at that time.

I talk more about this in my audio when I speak about the undeniable socio-cultural evidence of change that we can see every day in our communities, and also via the TV news. Even though the nightly TV news is rarely inspiring, it does demonstrate, albeit in a non-spiritual way, much that is going on in the world.

The initial movement of souls in 2000 was to prepare the way for more arrivals as the time became right for them to move, or ascend. In her 2010 publications, Karen says that the critical mass of evolved souls occurred in September 2009. At this time, the major ascension was completed.

Interestingly, September 2009 was a very significant time in my life, because it heralded the letting go of everything in my life that was not completely spiritually motivated.

I’ve just put this article up on my blog in a hope that you will share with us anything special or significant that might have also happened to you last September, or there abouts.

When speaking about ascension, Karen uses the perfect metaphor of rungs on a ladder. She suggests that in September last year there were sufficient people on high enough rungs of the ladder for the change to occur. And at that time, “in a twinkling of an eye” as it says in the Bible, we moved from our old Earth to a parallel Earth.

Now for some people, the idea of a parallel Earth might sound REAL flaky indeed. However, quantum physicists, including Einstein, have been telling us about a parallel Earth for years. If you saw the movie What The Bleep you would have seen how easy is was to step from one 'world' to the other.

And of course the title “What the Bleep” came about because what they were saying seemed so unbelievable. Just change the word “bleep” for any expletive that you care to use.

OK – so just ride with me here for a minute. Just suspend any disbeliefs if you have them.

WOW, if you think that a parallel Earth is wild, I hope you’ll join me on my Open Line call on Monday/Tuesday when I attempt to justify the intervention on Earth of entities from outer space, when I talk about Crop Circles!

And of course, the Open Line calls are designed so that we can discuss different points of view.

So, as the story goes, last September everyone ascended, no matter what rung of the ascension ladder that they were on.

The role of those on the higher rungs is obviously to help those on the lower rungs to understand what is going on, and in turn, to help them climb that very special ladder.

Karen certainly doesn’t claim to be on the top rung of the ladder. And neither do I. But last September it became 100% clear to me that my purpose on this planet is to help others climb that ladder of spiritual and consciousness evolution. And that’s what my Raising Love Consciousness and Embracing 2012 work is all about.

But I can only show you various ways of climbing the ladder – I don’t believe that there is only ONE way to climb. Further, I can only show those who want to look and learn. I certainly cannot come down to the lower rungs and attempt to push you up. We each have to do our own climbing.

And if we ALL did indeed “ascend” to Earth 2, last September, there will be many people on Earth 2 who have not even started to climb that ladder.

There will be many who have no interest in doing the necessary work to climb the ladder.

And there will be yet others who think that the whole thing is so far fetched that they don’t even want to hear any more about a ladder of evolution.

In my Embracing 2012 audio-gift, which is coming to you as soon as I can possibly get it to you, I talk more about what the various 2012 stories say about those who are not interested in climbing the ladder.

Meanwhile, I hope that you’ll join me on my Open Line Teleseminar/Webcast on Monday/Tuesday – see notice above – so that we can discuss some of these ideas.

As I said, I am very drawn to these stories of Karen’s, but that doesn’t mean that I am not totally open to as many different and diverse stories as possible.

I'm not here to impose any one particular idea or story on anyone. I’ve said on many occasions that as a philosopher I am here to explore a range of different opinions, and then look for the positives and also the holes in each story. And as I continue to research the many, many stories that are out there, I'll present them to you so that we can discuss them on the open line calls and/or on my blog - www.Kashonia.com.

But even if Karen is right and the ascension did occur last September, and we did move from Earth 1 to Earth 2. That doesn’t mean that we can relax and forget about the changes.

There are still a lot more geophysical changes to occur, as I talk about on my Embracing 2012 audio-gift. Just look at the Chilean earthquake, only yesterday.

And it also means that if we want to feel as if we fit in on Earth 2 – a planet vibrating at a much higher level of consciousness than our old Earth 1 – then we had better continue to climb that ladder of evolution. All the time, shining a light ahead for those on the lower rungs.

NOTE: On the Home page of her website, Karen’s talks about the end of 2008 as being the time of the ascension, but in her more recent publications, she speaks about the major transition occurring in September 2009.

Bye the way, I am in no way affiliated with Karen and do not receive compensation in any form for promoting her work or her products. I will always tell you if I promote something from which I receive an affiliate commission.

I'm a moral and environmental philosopher, and now work exclusively through the Internet from my home in the mountains in rural Far North Queensland in Australia.

I left school at 15 in 9th grade, and in years gone by I caught wild donkeys in the outback; was Australia's 1st female oil company representative (oh my); spent 14
years as a talk-back broadcaster on commercial radio stations around Australia; throughout all of this time I was also a speaker and trainer, and at the age of 40 began my academic journey.

I now realize that my life's-journey's twists and turns, over the past 30+years, have been preparing me for this very special time on our planet. This preparation has been in the form of miraculous and not so pleasant life experiences; a range of specialized work skills; and an incredibly extensive, and diverse, range of
personal, professional, and academic training.

Last year the Universe led me to a totally unexpected situation where I now find myself researching, in depth, all I can on the stories about 2012, and the beginning of our new world era. This research has rapidly moved me from an open-minded skeptic to a firm believer in a change greater than any of us can possibly imagine.
