I have a number of initiatives I would like to get going with. I need supporters to help with these initiatives. It’s all urgent. Animals are suffering every day, hoping that someone will help them. It’s time to do more. Compassionate action is a measure of our humanity.  By continuing the cycles of violence, pain and suffering, we live with shame and despair tainting our hearts and souls.  Governments are slow to change.  We just have to take really big action and show the world we are serious about animals and willing to put our lives where our hearts are.  It’s time for people power.

If you want to support, now is the time.  Contact me with Deep Peace Team in the subject line.  And if you havent heard from me within 24 hours, send it again. We need the Deep Peace Team now!

We need animal lovers, event organisers and fund raisers, networkers, connectors, artists, thinkers, web designers, social media folk – whatever you are good at, I’m sure you can help. If you have passion for animals, peace and freedom, speak to me.  Further, people know people know people and that is how a beautiful network comes into being on silver threads of love and mutual compassion and action.  Let’s get together – Deep Peace Team.Yay! Time to rebel. Time to create beauty and peace and raise consciousness and light.

Further, brumby culling starts up again soon and we are looking for land for horses to run free.  Wouldn’t it be lovely to say “No more culling. Sorry. Unacceptable. If you don’t want the horses, we’ll take them.”  Already, a truckload of unwanted stallions, colts, and horses two and over went to slaughter. Easter gave us a reprieve. But trapping is supposed to resume the second week of May. (Say it with me, “Unacceptable.”)

I know the racing industry is responsible for tens of thousands of good souls dying every year (and I want to contribute to stopping that suffering too), but I looked at my gentle wild stallion, young colts (in the garden as we speak) and young mares, and I started crying. That is a call to action. We can’t pretend it isn’t happening. We have to say “no”. Collectively, we can make a difference.  Our wild horses were so frightened when they arrived, bunching up together, not quite trusting they were safe. Merlin the stallion was first out of the truck and he called the others and told them it was safe to follow him. It was so moving, I am tearing up now. He knew where he was and took everything in his stride. I can only imagine their brothers and sisters and kin are the same. They are not pests and they, contrary to popular belief, live very lightly on the land. They are part of the land. And these are just some of the things they talk to me about.

There was a heart warming story on my Facebook wall about a bull who started crying as men took him to the slaughter house. They were all so moved, he won himself sanctuary at a monastry.

But what about all the other animals who also cry? This suffering has to end. I had the worst day yesterday with Spirit urging me to further action – passing sad cattle in sale yards, distressed sheep stuffed into a truck, legs sticking out, their innocent gentle eyes beseeching me  as I sent them love, tears pouring down my face.  I was so distressed by their suffering, I absorbed it all and flew out of my body.  It took me a long time in the city to come back to myself. Then, driving home, there was a circus with animals, and really unhealthy people at the frozen (mostly meat) section of the IGA. It  was a shock for me to see so many huge, unhealthy people in one area on a random Tuesday night. How do I know they are unhealthy? They were terribly overweight (and I track auras, etc.), but one woman when I numbly pointed to my vegan patties as a suggestion for her dinner (she was asking aloud) said she would like to stick them in the microwave (noooooo) before she went to the doctor. That was Spirit telling me how much work there is ahead of us to teach people about nutrition, the health benefits of a cruelty-free diet, and cutting down on EMR.  Sorry, I do not nuke my food.

Finally I got home to a message that one of the dogs I was trying to save ( in California) had been killed in the pound because he was too scared.  Well duh, wouldn’t you be?  This mentality of killing, killing, killing has to end. Fortunately, this dog’s sister was saved.  It is truly time for change, people power!!!

I am still in the middle of trying to help stop some sheep and cattle going to slaughter, trying to stop the brumbies being culled, trying to raise finance and secure land and do real education programs through the arts and media that will help mainstream see animals in a new and more refined light.  This is the mission of the Deep Peace Organisation – fostering global peace and freedom for animals through the arts, education and compassionate action.  I need help – no one can do this kind of work and change alone.  I need the Deep Peace Team.

It’s time for dreams to be realised and we have long held a dream of expanding A Place of Peace sanctuary and creating an education/retreat centre.  Help me save some farm animals and help other farmers make the transition to new and clean, happy, light ways of being with the land and animals.  Yes, I have big dreams and visions.  Can you help?  This is a call for action.  (Donations can be made here.)

Looking forward to hearing from you all – even those beautiful, big hearted students of mine who are already involved and helping.

Thank you all for being you.

On Screen at Awakening to Animals with my presentation A New Era for Animals.

Andrew and I made a film presentation of my talk for the inaugural Awakening to Animals Conference in the UK. (The photo, by David Bell, is me on the screen as the talk was shown.) We were in the middle of flooding rains and Spirit and dogs had advised me to stay home.   The bridge was 1.2 metres under water. So I was glad I listened and we got this film presentation made. That is the beauty of listening. And now this film presentation can be seen by others to help them see the world differently and help bring in A New Era for Animals.

The line up for this conference was fabulous with Margrit Coates, UK animal telepath and healer, Richard Deboo of the Animals Count Party, and others.   It sounded like an awesome time was had by all, and as animals were still on the menu, my talk about peace for all species incited a lot of debate apparently! And there were those who wrote to me and told me how they were touched, inspired and moved by the film  and my thoughts and ideas. My skype connection didn’t work, as the Conference was held in a remote and beautiful part of England (sigh – will have to visit another time!), so the organisers kindly collected questions and let me put them in a (see below). There were several questions in the same vein, which showed me the amount of resistance in the room to some of the ideas that I expressed.

As you know, I am a big advocate for not eating animals for so many reasons including the more esoteric one that if we are to have peace, allowing negative thought forms from fear to create etheric toxic pollution is counter-productive (I talk about this in Secret Animal Business). It made me so grateful that I was able to express my experiences, stories and vision for a new paradigm, because this is how change happens – by planting seeds, by giving people something to think about, by discussion and debate, and each person telling their story.  As an empath and natural telepath, I feel hear and see the animals, and they have been asking me to stop their suffering for two decades now, and this has shaped my life and work.  Hats off to Julie Lines, Elaine Downs and Sue Reid the conference organisers, who did something incredibly brave and wonderful by inviting people of differing opinions to spark this kind of debate and create waves of social change through discourse and ripples. I am incredibly proud of them and I was so honoured to be part of this fantastic event and to connect with others who are working for social change in their own ways and in their own fields.

******

Thank you all for so many wonderful questions.  I wish I had been able to discuss and debate with you in person. Here are the questions and my responses:

Q: We agree with all your wise words – would like to recommend a book to you The 30 Minute Vegan by Mark Reinfeld. A totally fab book. (Amazon link added)

A: Thank you!!  I’ll check it out!

Q: How do we/can you explain cruelty between animals?  EG. killer whales toying with seals before they kill them?  wasps laying eggs in live caterpillars to be eaten alive – many other examples of apparent cruelty – especially amongst predators?

A: First up, one has to understand life from an esoteric viewpoint. When homo sapien violence is the dominating thought and action, the collective consciousness becomes one of violence.  When it is is one of peace and compassion, even the animals we think of as predators will shift their behaviour.  This is why it is important to refrain from killing and violence.  This is what the shift of consciousness to an age of peace is about.

Q: Deep peace for all species so that we humans stop eating animal species killed in fear, OK.  But what about the vegetable species eaten and killed in fear?  How is it different to rip out a carrot or radish from the ground and its roots and eat it?  Or to cut the head of a lettuce from its root?  Or to pick an unripened fruit from its branch and eat it?  How is that different from cutting the head off a duck and eating it?  Daniel.

A: My experience is that this is a question that usually comes from meat-eaters who just want to stir the pot and muddy the water!  It is a defensive reaction to a peaceful path.

There were several similar questions so I am going to answer them all right now with one simple paragraph:

I made my presentation to a conference called “Awakening to Animals”.  If people are really interested in the plant kingdom’s response to these questions, then I will point you to my upcoming book The Deep Peace Project which does indeed, cover this in depth. It will be out in May, 2012.

Q: 12 miles from where I live their is an abattoir where I believe 7000 pigs are killed every day.  Lorries taking pigs there pass my bungalow – I say to the pigs you’ll go to a better place and I pray to the Divine Creator please accept and help these beings.  Do you have any messages I can send to them?  Amelia says animals do go to places of joy.  Annabel

A: Actually Annabel, this is a wonderful question you have brought up and something I go into great detail in my school Rainbow Fianna where students are helped to become comfortable with the death process, and journey to discover the path beyond death.

One of the greatest things you can do for those pigs is to help raise awareness that they are sentient beings and to encourage people to stop eating them.  You can bless them, and pray for them.  You can tell them you have great love for them.  Love is a very powerful force. Tell them you are actively trying to help change life for their species and that you care deeply about their plight.

But you have to know that pigs are a very intelligent species and it doesn’t take much to put ourselves in their shoes.  Esoteric teachings teach that the density around slaughterhouses creates what we call a “wall of suffering”, as the thought forms of fear and horror go out into the world.  This “wall” in turn creates anxiety and depression in humans. I talk about this in my book Secret Animal Business.

Sadly it is also my experience that millions of souls who die before their time and in conditions like this are wandering the earth, earth bound.  It is my part of my own work to release as many to the light as possible and I do this in ceremony. Human souls are the same.  So I’m afraid many animals do not go to a place of joy.  The best death is a natural one, where souls are at peace and free to leave their bodies through the higher chakras.

After death, there are places of great joy – but it depends on the individual soul and their experience of life and the way they died. Many souls end up caught in what are commonly known as the bardo planes.

The shamanic viewpoint is that there is an animal plane. However many shamanic cultures also believe in the transmigration of souls, which has been my personal experience as well.  So the pig going to the abattoir might have, in one life time, been a friend or a relative.  You just don’t know till you ask.

Q: More females are open to your ideas.  I find men very difficult to get through any of these ideas.  Classed as silly female sentimentality.  Any ideas on how to get through to the male mind?!!

A: Another great question, thank you.

Speaking very, very generally and with great apologies to the many men, including my husband Andrew, who are awake and sensitive, here is my answer:

The Divine Feminine which is inside both sexes, has been suppressed by the Church and this goes way back to our Origin story.  Adam and Eve.  Eve was naughty and humans punished because of this evil woman, to a life of suffering. I know this is the abridged version but the point is – it is just one version of our Origin and it is one in which women are painted in a bad light.  Look at any indigenous Origin story and you will find a different one.

According to indigenous prophecy and channeled wisdom, the Divine Feminine is rising again in all of us now.  It is up to the women in whom this is flowering to be a shining light. When you are strong in your light and your wild, creative, instinctive nature, it will trigger the same in men.  You will either have lots of fights, or you will have an incredible partner who you can stand beside, strong together.

So, work on your self and be strong.  Continue to walk the talk, not just talk it.  Be all you can be – a creative goddess!!  You will find yourself surrounded by like-minded souls.  The close-minded will fall away from your circle. If someone is stuck in their belief system, nothing you can say or do will convince them – unless perhaps you take them to an abattoir.  In Australia, people are waking up in huge numbers because one brave woman from Animals Australia, filmed the cruel demise of Australian cattle in Indonesia.  Live export is now under fire and many Australian men, have been touched by this atrocity.  Change is happening.

The other thing you can do is ask them why they don’t want to stand side by side great thought leaders like Gandhi, Pythagorus, Einstein, Shaw and so many other men who stood for animal rights.  If they think these men are “sentimental”, then it shows you who they really are.  Truly, walk your talk and be a shining example of compassion.  Others around you will one day awaken.

Q: Please may we have a transcript of your final message as we couldn’t hear it due to the sound quality of that part?  Thanks Rosemary.

A: Thank you for wanting this again.  This is the end of my talk.  It is copyrighted, so please acknowledge this if you reproduce it.

“I believe that within every single human being is a seed – a kernal of love and goodness, kindness and compassion, of knowing what the right thing to do is, and that the human spirit is yearning to find peace on all levels and in every cell.

“I believe that one of the reasons animals touch our hearts so deeply is that they embody the very qualities that we know are buried deep within us.  The qualities that have been shrunk and frozen through and by fear.

“This year is the year of Neptune in Pisces, it is the year of the Water Dragon.  The illusion of fear and suffering will be destroyed if we allow the rain and the water of this time, to melt this block and allow our seeds to grow into beautiful flowers.

“When human beings have the courage to step away from their old karma, and to forgive others and bless them, and to focus ,not on the old world of despair, but the new world of peace for all species, we will live in a world of beauty and grace.  For all species.”

– Billie Dean

Q: Is it wrong, in your opinion, for other animals to kill other animals?  I find it hard to understand why it would be wrong, as this is nature’s circle of life, interdependency on others to support and nurture life.  I totally agree about stopping the cruel methods of keeping and killing animals that humanity has adopted but I feel that the eating of animals and vegetables/fruit is a part of the circle of life. If we were to stop eating all sentient life, we would starve to death.  For me death is not a dirty word, or something we can avoid, it is inevitable and is an essential part of the physical experience. Dying surrounded with love and compassion is surely what we aspire to?   Is it truth that any being could die without an element of fear, as pain is often a part of death and we also have fear of the unknown, at least in humans.  If you watch an animal being brought down to be killed and eaten by another, they are deeply fearful too in those moments before death.  If we die of what we label “natural causes” is there not still fear in most?  Is fear itself something we will ever be able to move away from in the moments before the transition to death?

A: Another good question – several questions!  But  framed from a particular viewpoint which is not my truth.  I have watched many animals die naturally and peacefully with full acceptance.  They meet the light and there are always members of their family and friends to meet them. Many animals know when their time is coming and I will see them exchanging thoughts with others, as well as others I cannot see.  It is truly beautiful, and they are not afraid.  They are matter of fact.  But then these are the ones being held with hands of love.

As to the questions about death and survival and eating, this is a huge topic and I suggest you study with Rainbow Fianna, if you are a serious student.  The only reason we have the model of killing to survive is because most people are stuck in the mindset that this has to be so.  And so it is.  When you truly awaken to an enlightened path you will see and understand the other choices which are embracing of all species.  Again, see my forthcoming book, due out in May.

This world is truly an illusion created by our thoughts and our words, actions and deeds.  We can change this world to something far more beautiful and graceful if people just have the courage to dream beyond what is already around them, to something far, far better.

I was talking on the phone to a fellow horse rescuer when, suddenly, the world shifted and I fell into a conscious faint, heading for the newly painted old kitchen cabinet sitting on the verandah. I was able to stop myself in time and carried on the conversation as if nothing had happened. Perhaps this dizziness was part of the flu? Was I, more worriedly, reacting to the phone’s EMR?  Or perhaps it was related to an earthquake.

I have felt Earth Changes within my own body before, but this was almost a total loss of consciousness – except I didn’t lose consciousness.

Much dizziness and some dog squabbling (which is always a sign of Earth Changes in our household) later, I learned that, indeed, we had earthquakes happening in a major way all around the planet.

So many sensitive people have reported dizziness, headaches, feeling faint, panic-like attacks, fatigue, restlessness, frustration, irritability and more.  And it is all connected to our Mother Earth going through her shifting.

When you can feel Her, and the animals do feel Her too, you can begin to see how we are so incredibly interconnected and how we are all One.  ”What we do to the Earth, she does to us.  It’s that simple.”  These are the words of Hawaiian Elder Haleaka Iolani Pule Dooley, in our film This Sacred Earth: The 2012 Phenomenon.

So when these symptoms happen, I really urge you to find your centre and be peace.  This is not a time to panic and add to the fear which is polluting the planet like toxic waste.  It is time to take time out.  Meditate.  Be still.  Croon soothingly to the organism which is our Mother Earth,  as well as to your own body.  Nurture.  When we still ourselves, we send that message of love and peace to our Mother.

If all 7 billion humans did this on a daily basis, the world would be a very different place.  Perhaps the only reason we have any stability at all is because the so many animals hold the energy for us.  The ones who are at peace anyway.   Think for now of the cattle  and sheep grazing quietly in a paddock.   Their serenity is palpable.   But then so is their fear when hauled out of their peaceful connection with Mother Earth, by rough handling humans, and sent to a horrible, frightening, dreadful death.   Another big reason  to go vegan.

Since the Equinox, and that beautiful big Easter Full Moon, we have had a major shift.   The planets are finally in forward movement.   The first part of the year was like a big shedding.  All old karmic loops were given a shake up and shake out.   I was told in no uncertain terms to stay home, be still, listen to my spiritual lessons (from the trees, spirits of place , the animals and fae), take copious notes and expand my heart chakra.  I was not to be distracted.

Of course when Spirit says “don’t be distracted” one tends not to think “uh oh – big distraction coming.”  Of course there was and a career opportunity came– and went.  One which at any other time in my life I would have leapt at.  Was I insane?

I let it go because it is more important to be spiritual  in 2012..  And I sensed that if I took this career opportunity I would not be able to focus on doing my spiritual work .  It would take me away from the animals in my care, and would have been a lot of pressure with the prize ultimately being  a major distraction from my true path and my destiny.  Which has nothing to do with careers and bright lights.

When I thought about it I saw it as a test.  I saw it belonged to 3D.  And I was grateful I let it go.

The world has changed.   The old world and the way things used to work, no longer serve us and it is time to step off the merry-go-round and out of the box.  It is time to step out of denial and follow our heart.  The truth of our heart.  It is time to say “no” to all those societal injustices and stop lamenting ” this is the way it has always been done.”  The way it has always been done, has proven to be incredibly detrimental to our Mother, the animals, the plants and ourselves.  Humans have to wake up and change.  Now.  We have quite simply run out of time and excuses.

For me it is much more important to focus on the big picture of social change and human evolution than a career path I once thought was important.   In my blog and teachings I have talked a lot about the need for us all to become more and more authentic, getting down into our true essence so that we can become peace and go up into the next dimension.

When the last shift happened, I noticed another change.   I could not tolerate ANY animal cruelty.  It made me feel physically ill.  It was time to say NO, and rebel against a draconian old mindset.  We’ve been talking about how wrong this is for centuries.  It hasn’t changed.  So now is the time to just become steel.  It is time for Big action. It is time to force change.   I am currently working on a couple of big initiatives which I hope will bring more a bit more peace to this world, and I’m doing it because of the steel of resolution that has moulded inside me.  Courage comes from conviction.  I believe it is unacceptable to cause suffering to the non humans who share our Mother Earth.  And that is that.

I realised that if others had  similar steel, revolution could be quick, and the Golden Era of Peace could be realised.  I clearly saw a world populated by people of courage and conviction – who would live in harmony with each other and other species, because they had fought for change and won.  There are  a lot of talkers in this world.  The ones who will forge this path of peace, will be the ones who walk it.

Last night, I was listening to an interview with Drumvalo Melchizadek, who echoed my understanding of this time of social revolution.  He said women would become strong and just say “no”.  And through this we would see social change.  So I am happy to announce from my own internal radar, that this is happening.  That’s exciting.

He also said that there could be several big “events”, and the way to survive them was to go to the next dimension.  So many of us are being prepared for this right now.  We  are being moved into “position” to hold the light.  The fae call this process of dimensional moving,  alchemy.  This is  an internal process of light – inner change.  They tell me to work on my heart chakra and keep surrendering and keep trusting.   Alchemical changes are also happening through exposure to the sun’s rays, especially during the solar flares.  Drumming, chanting, forgiveness, committing to a non-violent, cruelty-free path, drinking in the information from the sun, meditation and working with the light body are some of the things we can be doing right now.  So my sense is that many of us will become a lot lighter  during the big solar flare season coming this (southern hemisphere) winter.  Hang on to your hats!!

The other thing he said  was that the Mayans are celebrating the end of the calendar on December 21, 2012 – a normal kind of completion ceremony.  But on December 22, they are celebrating the beginning of the new time, the new era of peace! I love that, and will be working on those two days with those thoughts with whomever I am sharing the time with. How exciting!  Party!!

What Drumvalo was saying really coincides with a very intense astrological period.  There’s creativity and grace and possible drama and chaos.  There is definitely change. One of the anticipated dramas is the possible meltdown of computers and communications due to unprecented solar fllare activity.  Here’s a hint: buy journals and remember how to use a pen!  I know, old fashioned!

The other bit of news I found interesting came from here at A Place of Peace.  One of our horses, Hedgerose, came down with an abscess, which can be nasty and painful for horses.   She was limping badly one day, and the very next, when I came to treat her, the abscess had already popped.  ”Things are healing quickly now,” she said to me.  Normally I would have been giving her homeopathic Silicea or Hepar Sulph or both, for days.

So please remember this. Feel free to indulge in your dis-ease if it gets more of what you need, but really, you can heal more quickly now!

I also had a request for prayers for a dying horse in Adelaide.  The vet wanted to put him down and his person was desperate to save him.  He went into our prayers during our Full Moon Ceremony and I was thrilled to receive a stunned email from his person saying he was making a rapid recovery!!

Note: We always work with permission – healing happens only to those who want to heal. Many  animals indeed are crossing right now.

A note about the animals and behaviour:  If animals are behaving “badly” please be mindful.  The solar flares and earthquakes and general unsettledness is making everyone tense and the animals will be your best radar if a disaster is happening, so be mindful of them.  They are not trying to annoy you, they are communicating with you. We had a couple of dogs who are best of friends fly into fight  in the kitchen. They didn’t hurt each other, but it alerted me that something was up.  The next day there was the earthquake news from Indonesia.

In short, the guidance I’m receiving right now continues to be keep surrendering and allowing a life of love, peace and grace.  Tend to your foundation with survival supplies, extra torches and whatever you need in case supplies are cut off for a period of time for whatever reason, and take time to practise stillness and LIstening.  Honour your animals, and let their wisdom and intelligence guide you.  And keep your frequency compass attuned to joy, love and peace.   Learn to act on your instincts and intuition.  The dance of life is about being in the moment, honouring the wisdom of your heart intelligence, and understanding that the world is changing every minute, so surf,and glide with glee.

Water Overflowing at A Place of Peace

Welcome to the year of the Water Dragon, to the time of Neptune in Pisces. This time is about water. Our season has been wet, wet, wet. I am grateful for the cool, and the rain. I’m also grateful it is not too much!

This is the third blog post I have tried to write recently, but of course, the energies are even more speedy than last year and my bedtime is still 2 am, despite my best efforts! Spirit has demanded I spend more time with spiritual pursuits, and so I have been deep in conversation with animals, trees, the wind, the water and those from the Otherworld.  I have  been doing my spiritual work.  (And taking copious notes!)

This spiritual expansion is what the astrology of the time is demanding.   It comes as no surprise being 2012 and all!!   So let’s see  what else is on the immediate radar.

My sense is that there are also the dangers of following false gurus, whether they be human or otherwise.  ”Otherwise” could be drugs, fear, disillusionment, escapism.  It is the negative aspect of the good.  This is 2012  - the year of a prophecy which calls for peace.  If people can remember that, it will be an excellent compass setting.  Peace is a high frequency after all.

Still, my sense is there are many who talk a good talk, even if they don’t walk it, and people are hungry and fall prey.  Have your discernment radar turned up high.  There is a sense of bandwagon hysteria growing.  There is the sense of change.  There is the sense of people standing up for what they believe is right, and the dissolving of an outmoded model of society.  Those  who resist change will find fear and possibly chaos.

Bye-Bye Third Dimension

The New Moon in Pisces, which we have just had,  also calls for a going within – the new beginning of a potentially highly creative time.  It feels like a turning point, a revving up.  For many, the year will have just begun!  So creatively think about the world you want and  the life you want to live.

WIth the arrival of what I’m calling the water astrology (okay, the wet astrology), I felt  as if I had a waterfall inside me, that I was dissolving into the mist. I was teary about everything. (More than normal!) And especially last week, at a menu in a  city cafe which offered “baby octopus, baby lamb, baby calf”. I was sickened. Somebody’s babies. Imagine if that baby was yours.

I felt like a string was cut between me and the sea of humans around me who  were relishing this food.   The third dimension is a dense, dark, cruel place which doesn’t have to be that way.  It’s practises are simply unacceptable.   And I refuse to accept them.  As a vegan I don’t accept them anyway, but this felt like a snapping of a cord.   I felt myself fading into the mist, into a different world where humans were full of heart.  And animals were respected.  I think I live there most of the time now surrounded by like-minded community – students, friends, and colleagues.  So coming back into this harsher, more asleep world, is more of a jolt.

It is harder today to walk among the “asleep”. But still, we must hold compassion and love for them in our heart – because they are simply,  asleep.  Unconditional love is the only way forward.  Love alone , will unite us.

The third dimension really fell away last October, at the end of the ninth wave, and since then people have been struggling to live in the new energies. It’s a challenge, because the world is operating differently now.  Hint:  Don’t accept the old.  Get off the old loop.  Follow the advice of your heart.  Be brave.  Forge new trails.  Forget limitation.

It is a strange time. There are strange forces about, and while there is a layer of peace and wild excited, joy of the blank canvas which is the new dawn, there is still this sense of shedding, shedding, shedding. Old issues are slapping people in the face, forcing them to take responsibility for all their old programming and for all their thoughts. It is a time to really let go. Let the water of the time flow through you, dissolving all that is keeping you stuck.

Still, people feel like glass – about to shatter.  If  you are unhappy, look at what is making you unhappy, and take steps to heal and let go the issue.  Really, there should only be happiness.   I realised that as an artist, I wasn’t tending my art — and that was affecting my heart.  So this year an upgraded model of me will be launched!   And that is incredibly exciting.   Many people are finding this.  I call it the 2012 Morphing Effect.

There are also colds and flus, fluid retention, dizziness, and aches and pains and fatigue and feeling hot and then cold and sleep deprived as we shift and let go and become upshifted into better people. It is not that comfortable. This is a time to drink water. It is a time for fluidity and grace, gratitude, rest and peace.  Yes, it is okay to rest.  I have heard from many people who feel guilty at needing to sleep away an afternoon.  You needed it.  You were probably working all night in your dreams!

And dreams. There is so much dreaming going on. It is a time for dreams.

Remember the earth is changing her vibration, and for humanity to shift with her, we, too, have to become lighter.  In all ways.

My sense is that there are many spiritual and sensitive people who just want to run away from Earth through the ascension.   But I always felt that was a “leaving pattern”.  It’s not really taking responsibility for the beautiful planet  who gives us everything.   I believe in  reciprocity and live my life by this .  We need to give back to the Mother who gives to us.  We can give back in many ways, including making the world a better place.  Join the movement for change and live more lightly and with more respect.   The shift is about heaven on Earth.

My internal radar has also been sensing the tectonic plates shifting and grinding. Sometimes I sense the poles shifting. Sometimes the grid of light.  The world does not feel stable and this is reflected by all the social change happening in the human world. It is not a bad thing. It is a promise of a dawn – an exciting new tomorrow – if we can go with the river, with the tide, and make the inner changes ourselves.  If we can remember to be free of all heavy encumbances, and to shine our light and our love.  And I think that’s really important right now — shine your love.

My sense is those who try to swim against the current of change, the ones stuck in the old paradigms, are the ones who will have the hardest year. Those who embrace change are those who will surf the waves with glee.

Forward into Sustainability

At home we have had flooding rains and thunderstorms and no summer to speak of at all. I didn’t mind that. I have loved the weather – a continuous spring.

But mopping up the leaking kitchen is getting a bit old!  So I have changed my priorities. One of my forest ladies told me to shift focus – from work to home. And that is something coming from within as well.  It is time to tend the home, fix the leaks, declutter, shore up, create sanctuary.  This is something the animals have been saying for years.  Now it just feels like we must, that it is vital.

Our focus has to be on green, eco, self-sufficiency, sustainability, and understanding that life as it once was is now coming to an end. Once it was “the work is so important” and now it is “enjoy the moment.” And “be responsible”.   It is time to truly be an earth-keeper, stewarding your home territory whether it is a flat or a farm. (You can grow sprouts and veges in pots!)

The time of greed, waste, excess, striving for success at the expense of all else has to go.  Wouldn’t it be lovely if the new currency was family time, compassion for others, self expression, and time to be?

So, this is not a bad thing. If everyone grew their own food gardens, investigated water tanks, and alternative electricity and became more community minded, we would have a better world.   Mother Earth would thank us.

These are the steps we need to take during this process of change.  Do what you can.

Please see the recent interview I did with Nedda Wittels of the Animal Communicator Forum, in which I explore this theme, of listening to the animals, and nature, and being prepared for whatever Earth Change 2012 might throw at us. It is a matter of knowing how to live better, with less, as Philip Carr-Gomm says in our film This Sacred Earth: The 2012 Phenomenon. Kitchen gardens and medicines, uniting with neighbours, exchanging with others, recycling everything, going green with vision and compassion. Folk music. Hand crafts. Beauty. Art. Nature. Animals. Families. A return to the values that matter. As Aboriginal elder Minmia says in the same film, “The Earth Changes are here to help us get our priorities straight.”

Increasing Light:

The other sense is that of being in a holding pattern. People are reporting they are so tired, and so many want to shift and change into what is more reflective of who they really are, but they are inside the chrysalis, waiting to emerge as a butterfly.

Perhaps this new moon, under the influence of the impending Equinox, will be the trigger which helps us break free.

Each one of us is a light. I’ve been shown that our fear has dulled our light and that the shift,  the expansion of our DNA, will fill us with light that is bright and touch everything and everyone in our path. The words “your light will increase in wattage” were sent to me.  This is why it is so important to do our spiritual work right now.  Meditate, be still, and stay in love.

I was shown a light being walking this land.

It was me!

My expanded inner light showed as a glowing luminous energy field.  As has been predicted – we are the children of light!  This is how we can all expect to look when we do our work.  Glorious light beings in a body!

There appear to be portals opening up everywhere, as well. Now, that could get interesting. People are reporting sounds from the earth and the sky. The intensity of the year is just getting started!

There is a feeling of tension, of unsettledness amongst humanity – but not outside in nature.  There lies peace.

My sense is that this year will explode – with drama for some and fantastic opportunities for dreams coming true for others. Right now it is a drum roll. Can you hear it?

I, like so many others, have the urge to stay in my chrysalis just a bit longer, waiting for my stage entrance.

We are morphing.

We are changing.

We are being born anew.

The Great Dissolving:

One of my favourite astrologers (and I have a few), Eric Francis, likened Pisces to a “water colour in the rain”. And this is how it feels right now. The illusion of life is dissolving and leaving a mist of transparency, a blank canvas for us to create anew. Opportunites abound.

Neptune, the great dissolver, is in Pisces. The water dragon is here. It is all about water , representing the Divine Feminine, and change, change, change. It is about creativity and non-conformism.  With Chiron and Uranus in the works, it is about healing and not letting anything standing in our way of becoming whole.

One night, Andrew and I were up at our front gate, watching the pouring rain flood like a river down the hill, eroding our road, now pitted with gullies.

“This is what is happening now,” I said to Andrew. “Water is changing everything. It is a powerful force. It creates a tide of change. It erodes anything in its way.”

I realised the other day that the waterfall I was sensing inside myself could also be the broken waters of a birthing mother. If Mother Earth’s waters have broken, then it is true that her children will be soon birthed. In other words, for those who are ready and open and light, the quantum shift in evolution could be very close.

Are you ready to make the conscious choice to leave the karmic wheel behind? Have you dropped old baggage, made your peace, forgiven, and stepped off the loop of suffering, including contributing to animal suffering?

I don’t know when this shift will happen. What I do know is that there are seven billion people on the planet, and the tipping point hasn’t yet happened. But gradually people’s hearts are opening like a flower, and what is flowering is the  green sustainable revolution. And compassion for our animal kin.  And that is beautiful.

Physical preparations you can take that will benefit you, your animals and your community:

There are other planets to talk about and other shifts predicted, but I wanted to say one thing. If the poles do suddenly do the big shift, instead of gradually as they are now, the Mayan elders are saying there could be anything from 20 minutes to 3 days of dark and that we might come through this and find ourselves in a different climate zone.

Their (paraphrased) advice is, “Don’t freak out, sit in stillness and wait – for the sun will return again.”

“And be prepared.”

I have stocked up with extra candles, matches  and torches, extra food, and am being more organised.  When I can, I  buy in bulk.  I  make sure I have all the animal food and medicines I need, so I am not caught short.  This was helpful when we were flooded in recently.

We also lost electricity through the storm, and that was no biggy either.   Are you prepared for a time without electricity?  Because all over the world, that is happening – it might be three hours or it might be three weeks.  Can you and your beloveds cope and be warm or cool and comfortable?   It pays to just have what you need so blips in the system don’t bother you.

And it is better for the Earth anyway.

Get some candles, some lamps, go to a camping store, go to a solar store etc.   You don’t have to suffer through these blips if you are organised.  I’d like to be even more organised  and that’s a big ask with the number of animals we have.  But we are getting there.  There is a huge movement of people getting off the grid, and living closer to nature.  This is not about fear.  It is about a change in values and loving Mother Earth, and wanting to protect her.  And being more personally responsible for your life.

In order for the world to change, we have to be the change.  Going vegan and green and spiritual and respectful is a wonderful path to tread.

Nobody knows what will happen, if  or when. But we are expecting intense solar flare activity and intense astrology this year. So it is good just to be prepared and be forewarned .  I don’t know if the poles will shift all at once, but they could and certainly there are many things coming together to herald a huge shift like this.

The other thing I have noticed is that the dark forces are using situations to keep humanity’s light dimmed by fear. Don’t fall for it. The prophecy was about peace and peace is a high frequency. Keep the faith.

My sense is that people are definitely asleep if they think the world is going to stay the same year after year. The parasitical way we have lived on the planet has to change. And it is my hope that humanity wakes up to that en masse very very soon.

So don’t be in fear. Just be prepared. This is not the end of the world. It is the end of an old paradigm that never served the world. It’s time for a beautiful world of peace and harmony for all species.    This is the new dream that we can create with our thoughts and our actions.

Bring it on.

Brumby mare and foal, January 2012, in our house paddock.

It’s late here at A Place of Peace, the rain falls gently, and when we step outside, we’re greeted by the gentle knicker of a wild mother mare who recognises us as “The Ones Who Bring Food”.   It’s time for their last meal of the day, and the garden has been turned into a nursery for three mother mares and their little filly foals.  The house yard is quite large, and they go under the pine trees and the Hawthorn Tree, the little ones racing around with their tiny tails stuck high in the air.   They are so beautiful, and growing up in complete security, knowing that if they can’t find mum, aunty is close by.  The mares are great mums, and very proud of their babies.  I shudder when I think these foals may never have been born, and their terrified mothers, killed horrifically in slaughter houses which should be shut down forever.

During the day the wild horses graze peacefully in three herds.  Merlin the stallion has his herd which includes the baby colts Emrys and Arthur.   Three grown up colts have their own herd and the girls with baby girls are in by the house.  They are all close by and have the security of seeing each other across the fence.

Zeeka, who passed away in January 2012.

Sadly, we said goodbye to our beloved alpaca Zeeka recently, who pined after his mate Benji who passed last year in October. It is the end of an era here, with no alpacas standing guard over with the goat herd and Sarah the sheep – and to be honest I’m still not quite used to it.

As we were burying Zeeka, I heard the familiar sound of a wild goat mum who had lost her kids. Tamsin and I took the dogs, rushed over and found, thanks to the dogs, two babies left behind. My dogs are untrained kelpies, and yet they know when there is work to do. I asked them to “find” and “hold” and they did – gently, calmly, explaining to the kid that they were friends with thoughts and demeanour, so that I could pick up the baby and take them home.

If we don’t take them home, they are unlikely to survive the night.  We’ve been asked why the mothers leave them and it is for many reasons – sometimes they know the baby isn’t right.  Sometimes the babies fall asleep when the herd walks off.   Sometimes they want us to take care of them.  During the drought the word I heard from one mother as we collected her son, was “hay”. She knew her son would have a good life with us.  She knew he would have food.

Goat Babies, January 2012

Like all goats we’ve hand -raised, we introduce them to the other goats and help them get over their shock with lots of cuddles and rescue remedy.  They all are brought up in the house first. Tamsin is the goat lady and the goats adore her.  This brother and sister are living in the kitchen currently, getting to know everyone and life in the human world (that’s them in the picture sitting on hay).

The brumbies have been interesting. I was shocked to find hoofprints down by the creek, and even across the creek. It started when we gave them  a paddock hay that was not to their taste. It was too much like dried grass. We bought 200 bales of it, after being donated some other lovely meadow hay, which the horses actually like, from one of my lovely students.

Merlin jumped the fence and wandered around the creek, telling me in no uncertain terms that if we couldn’t provide “decent” food, he would have to take his herd to find it himself. And I don’t blame him. The grass is drying and across the creek are lush paddocks full of good stuff, but thanks to the damage from a flash flood we had, there’s currently no water over there. I explained to him that we were working on getting the pipe  fixed and if he could be patient, we would move the herd to greener pastures.

He jumped back into the paddock and I mixed lucerne into the less tasty hay.

Every morning there are 10 brumbies in the paddock, waiting for breakfast, looking innocent.

The brumbies have broken a few fences, showing me they don’t have to stay here at all if they don’t want to. When the shearer came, the nursery herd were so frightened that even the babies leapt the fence, joined the big herd, and they all took off. I had to run after them, calming them down, calling them in, and promising them that no one was going to be killed. Apparently one of the shearers sent a predatory thought to them. It might have been a passing one – but they heard it and shared it with me.

The horses are on extra alert when strangers come.  Their eyes go from soft and curious to wary and guarded.  We might be considered part of the herd but other people are either alarming or to be tolerated.  It’s all about relationship, building trust, and keeping promises.

Speaking of horses we are delighted in the now cemented friendship of Samantha the Shetland and Totem the Goat.  Totem was our first baby we ever adopted from the wild goats, and he would travel in the car with the dogs on outings, as did Sarah the sheep when she arrived.  Totem and Samantha are very bonded and sleep in a stable together at night.  During a recent flash flood, we brought the ponies and Totem up to the high ground of the house.  Totem refused to shelter on the verandah ( and goats don’t really like rain).  Instead, he stood outside the office window with Sam in the pouring rain.

That was another exciting night that had been foretold by a kookaburra, so we were partially prepared.  There was lightning dancing all over the sky, and it was pouring inside and out.  Once all the horses had been moved to high ground ( and I was grateful I’d got in extra torches) , I began to experience a moment of concern for our ancient house.   But then I remembered, two little bush rats had run into the house in plain sight, through the front door!  I knew then the house was safe.  And I silently thanked them.

I hope you enjoy this wide-ranging discussion.

The long awaited  year of 2012 has arrived and I’m reminded of the first time I heard about it in 1978.  I was a herb student, and after a field day identifying plants in the wild, our hosts offered a vegetarian lunch (potato patties and salad). The conversation, as we dined alfresco, me with the resident dog at my feet, turned to conspiracy theories.

It was one of those days you just don’t forget. I loved the company I was in, even though I was the youngest there, feeling much more at home in this alternative environment than anything else in my life to date. There were bees buzzing. The dog and I were quietly communing, and the human conversation and company were fascinating.

The conversation turned to 2012.  Was it really the end of the world?  Would a UFO come and get the “good” people? Did you have to believe in Jesus to be saved? Was it all a furfy?  Our host, a very tall man with a beard and overalls, stood up and talked about the Hopi Prophecy, a golden era of peace that needed 144,000 rainbow warriors to make it happen.  I signed up there and then in my heart and soul. That resonated with me. I couldn’t fathom what an era of peace would look like. But I was there.

I attended and filmed the Glastonbury gathering for the Harmonic Convergence, I have had Hopi Elders come and speak to me about putting the word out about the coming earth changes, I’ve talked to all kinds of people, and done a lot of Listening myself.

I even made a film to help people through this time  of change – 2012: This Sacred Earth (or This Sacred Earth:The 2012 Phenomenon).

I learned what it took to be a Rainbow Warrior, and worked hard toward that goal for myself. You can’t sign up for that position with anger in your heart and dirty chakras full of sludge. It’s about getting over being wounded, and becoming as whole as you can be. I founded Rainbow Fianna, a wisdom school, with the intention to help get a few more warriors for peace out there.  This was the mission I felt called by.  When people are at peace, the animals are free.

And now here it is – the Big Year.  What will it bring?  What we call the 2012 Phenomenon has to date been ruthless in its desire to shift people into wholeness. Resist and it goes rough for you. Surrender and you fall into grace. So despite the brutal, grasping of the falling dark masculine archetype, by the end of the ninth wave of the Mayan Calendar according to Calleman (Amazon aff link) and the Gateway of 11:11:11, one could sense the joyous buoyancy of the time to come. And this, by the way, will be a time of balance with the Divine aspects of masculine and feminine in harmony as the Divine Feminine takes her rightful place in each of us.

The holiday season brought relief.  A rest from the world and the realisations of old patterns fell fast and thick– if you were being mindful.  And the wheel turned and 2012 arrived.

Here at A Place of Peace, thunder rolls in the distance and we have just had a shower of much needed rain. It settled the dust. Outside the window are three wild baby foals with their mums, and in the kitchen are two new rescued baby goats sitting together on a pile of hay.

I’ve spent the last three weeks withdrawn from the outside world, “resting” – although it is pretty impossible to rest when caring for animals is a full time job. But to do just one “job” was heaven, and it made me realise that trying to do more is probably crazy. To have time to be, instead of do do do, is something I have heard many, many  people yearning for. Including my own soul.  This is a big note  and something to pay attention to.

For me, as a natural telepath and creative artist, to simply listen, to write, to film and to be with animals and family are things I have been yearning for for a long time. Oh and to be more silly. Definitely that!

Like many people, many ‘aha” moments were had over the holiday break – things like:

“Oh my god, what happened to self love and self care and all the other things I tell everyone else to do?”

And:

“Why is it not okay for me to be comfortable, and what is the block in the way of me going for what really is my authentic self – and prospering from that.”

Now when I say the word “prosper”, I mean it in a different way to the way our society currently sees “wealth”.

For me, it prosperity is about being comfortable, yes, but more about energetic nourishment. It is about the ability to be fully authentic in a world that is rapidly disintegrating and changing, with old ways of working no longer working.

As Phillip Carr Gomm says in our documentary This Sacred Earth: The 2012 Phenomenon, we need to learn to make do with less, and make that hallowed.

Values need to change.  Imagine a world where everyone was nurtured in a wave of self -love and community, occupied by sacred and meaningful encounters with nature and animals, being self-expressive, and generally “playing”.   We can no longer occupy the material mindset.  it doesn’t work.  People aren’t happy with things.  They need meaning.

“Frustration” is the word of the month, I sense. With many people feeling as I did – “Why am I killing myself working like this, and for what?” Frustration is actually a healthy emotion, because it is the first step to wellness. I read somewhere that 97% of people were bordering on burnout. What does that say about our society?

I have been saying for a long time that we need more community, more support of each other, and we really need to follow our hearts into creative authenticity.

This takes courage.

The other thing that has been up is a feeling of irritability, stress, anxiety, general unsettledness.  People have been behaving the opposite of love and peace.   Relationships are being stretched and strained because of this.  The old dark energies are grasping at straws, niggling at the chinks in people’s armour and trying to cause chaos.  It’s more important than ever to be discerning, to be strong, and to focus on shining your light and shining  it on the world you want.

I bring all this up now because on Monday we have a very, very powerful new moon, followed by Mars retrograde. And while I originally thought it was simply a clearing out of old stuff time, it seems there is much more. It feels we are being asked to stop living from external programming – from past lives to parental – and start examining what we are yearning for at a heart and soul level.

Imagine a world where people were actually fulfilled, simply being their unique selves.

Imagine actually following your heart’s true intelligence.

That is surrender. And that is what this time is all about.

When I think about all the things I have to do in order to pay the bills, I feel my body tense and my frequency shut down. Things have changed and I can’t go back to who I was. Frequency is all important in the new era – finding peace within.  And resonating that outwards.  And it seems more urgent than ever that we move into our heart work/play.  Not just for ourselves, but to aid the prophecy into being.  We have a choice — stay in chaotic suffering — or move into peace and grace.

So if you are feeling sensitive, frustrated, irritable or edgy, know you are sensing the energetic shift that is coming. Do you have the courage and discipline to put new habits in place that will take you down the path of soul fulfilment? Or are you going to stay in the same old rut?

Here at home, we’ve started working out again. Sugar is off the menu; pea protein shakes are in. More boundaries will be put into place, more time for spiritual practise, back to yoga and meditation – all the things that were dropped because everything else and everyone else was more important. Hmmn.  And 2 am bedtimes have to go!!  This all calls for discipline.

When I was being trained as an actress, we were taught that our body was a temple.  For many reasons we had to honour our body.  So for me to not take care of myself because I am too busy caring for others, was quite shocking to me, when I realised I’d slipped into patterns of behaviour that were not self-caring.  Caffeine to keep going is not on.

So now we are making decisions based on our heart intelligence and the frequency we sense the activity will bring.  Because the edges are sharper and more defined in 2012.  It is a year to take action, or watch out.  And I say that not to scare anyone, but to try and motivate you.  It is no longer time to put off what you are yearning for.  For the sake of animals, for the sake of the earth, find the peace and contentment you crave.  When you resonate that, you are one of the 144,000 rainbow warriors needed to make the tipping point in the golden era.  You are needed.

2012 is a pivotal year. The spirits are whispering massive change. But if we resist the whispers and don’t put in place the things to support the change, then the Mack trucks will come. Sorry – but my sense is that change is being demanded from our beautiful Mother Earth as we can no longer live so disconnected from her and cause her so much pain. Humans must evolve.

Our beautiful rescue dog Dusty put this very eloquently when he began having seizures recently. He told me it was because he wasn’t able to let go of his old past pattern of persecution and abuse. And in this new time, these things are no longer buried. They are intensified.  It goes harder when you don’t let go.  So we are working to assist him release more fully, to let go into the love he has found here.  So far so good!!

It really is time to work on your stuff.  Let go!  Ask yourself why are you still holding on to that old story?

I’ve noticed “out there” in 3D land it is still pretty crunchy, as most people don’t know what the heck is happening and are feeling activated and scratchy. That’s because of this coming energetic shift.

Even people who do know are feeling exhausted and can barely drag themselves from A to B. Or they did — there seems to be a rising of energy now, strength returning, curiosity as to what this year will bring.  On another level, the new energies are so free-ing and magical that they have me wondering why so many humans are so addicted to suffering? Just let it go already!

Monday’s New Moon is a biggie. It will thrust us forward into a new era like a huge tidal wave of energy. So get out your surfboard, dump all unwanted baggage and start to drive your car and your board forward in the direction your heart wants to go.  We are in the era of a new sun, a new beginning, a new you.

Trust your heart.

In Divine Love and Infinite Peace

Val Heart

One day I happened to glance outside onto the shaded area of my patio deck and noticed my grey tabby cat laying in a regal pose, front arms stretched out with her paws elegantly crossed in front of her. Her eyes were half shut, she seemed to be smiling a Mona Lisa smile, and even from inside the house I could see that she seemed to be vibrating.

Fascinated I watched as her energy seemed to grow and grow until it connected with every living thing and object within at least 50 feet of where she was. The air around her seemed charged with life force and peace, humming with power.

I asked her what she was doing, since it was obvious something remarkable was going on, and she said:

“I am blessing my space, being one with everything and everyone from the trees to the earth to the birds to the insects to the wind…, sharing healing and balance, harmony and peace. This is how to connect and be one with life.

If humans did this regularly, they would not be so sick.

They could allow the richness of life, which surrounds us always, to support, heal and nurture them.

They would be able to hear the wisdom and heart of the world.”

Learning to be fully present, emotionally peaceful is a very fine goal in life.

How does one achieve such a remarkable way of living and being?

To start, begin carefully and consciously observing your animal teachers.

Adopt a daily practice of being in the moment, doing nothing more than letting yourself truly feel all that is around you. Breathe in the richness and fullness of what is. And one day you will find yourself effortlessly connecting with the magic of Source.

See then what new understandings, insights and clarity you become aware of. How different do you feel about yourself, your animals and your world now?

I was thrilled to have been interviewed by American animal communicator Val Heart on her show The Real Doctor Dolittle. Val was a delightful host, and we had a lovely discussion. You can listen to it in the player below (requires Flash), or click through to Val’s web site and have a listen there (and even if you do listen to it below, go have a look at Val’s site).

We had a lovely discussion about a lot of things during our hour together, including:

• What the animals want us to desperately know right now.
• What is behind the need for social change and compassionate action.
• Whether animals have an understanding of humans as carnivores (you can guess my take on that one).
