What's Up On Planet Earth

Greetings! Here’s the latest: The Mercury retrograde alongside the solstice (and just the ascension process alone!) began a pattern that we are still experiencing. Some things are just plain weird right now, with stories and scenarios changing by the minute. There also seems to be much to do, oh much to do, and when one thing is finished, another arrives right on its heels. But the “weird” things that seem to be occurring are the most predominant, as much simply does not make sense.Why? Because we are once again “re-calibrating” and restructuring. Much came to the surface because of the solstice/retrograde energies. This created a lot of debris in our paths, a big mish mosh of energies that were flying around with nothing left to adhere to, and basically a temporary holding pattern for many of us with some of our endeavors. Things, then, are not settled yet, or all the way into their new grooves and we cannot then, move forward until we get stabilized.When much is being purged or released, as was the case with the solstice/retrograde, the darker and denser energies move up and out. When much of these types of energies are flying around, it can create what feels like depression (and it can be very sudden and intense indeed), sadness, grief, a strong desire for something that feels right and better to arrive very soon, and even feelings of panic and great loss. This is a typical ascension scenario. In the beginning years (from 2000 onward), depression was a continual epidemic because of this. Much has been transmuted and removed now, so this scenario only occurs here and there. If you are one who has been feeling depressed for quite some time, please take care of yourself and don’t assume it is simply an ascension symptom. Medication may be required and a good doctor can really help. Most old souls, like we are, experienced abuse and suffering in our younger years (so we could transmute these energies for all of the planet through ourselves), and a great amount of healing can be required before we can move forward. But once we do, many more of the beautiful and glorious experiences seem to arrive in an avalanche!Ascension depression comes in intense waves and lasts briefly. It can feel nearly unmanageable and it can go deep. But we are able to experience much bliss in between. This is the difference. It is the same with panic and anxiety, and waves of crying and sadness. They come and go, and are not always present. It can be quite challenging to know what is really going on at times. And the ascension process mimics menopause very closely, with short term memory loss, hot flashes and night sweats, heightened emotions, abdominal weight gain, food cravings, an inability to lose weight (no matter what we do!), sleeplessness, and the like. Only most men are having these symptoms as well!This latest round went deep. We excavated much. It was rough. And because of all these released energies flying around, our paths can get cloudy. It is hard to see with so much in our way. The beauty of the ascension process, is that as more and more gets cleared away, we are then able to really and truly “see” what is real. All the peripherals are gone. We do not need them anymore. My husband Phil loves to cook. He is an awesome cook and does all the grocery shopping and prepares all the meals. Our refrigerator is usually very full. I am not used to this, as I am a terrible cook, and my refrigerator was always nearly empty. I am now having trouble “seeing” what is really in the refrigerator, as it is so full! But he knows what is in there, even if I don’t.When much is temporarily in our paths, we can easily lose sight of where we once knew we were headed. We may not know what is going on. It can be tempting to come up with a new and sudden change of plans, as we are confused. But if we know that we are simply re-calibrating, and that much will become clearer when the debris clears, we can then move forward in a new and better way in the near future. Basically, then, much has been disrupted and does not know where it belongs anymore. There are many old energies that are lost and without a home, as the older and lower vibrating energies can no longer reside in this new world. The energies have nothing to attach to, so “weird” things are occurring that do not make sense. But the “going deep into as yet un-attended to energies” scenario can create some wonderful things as well. Things that were on the back burner or were not ready for attention are suddenly needing assistance if we are to move forward........And this is how it currently is. This re-structuring energy is manifesting in many different ways for all of us, but when this round is complete, we will really be ready to move forward in a much better way and in a much more re-aligned way as well.As always, all is in divine and perfect order. And through it all, I have never seen or experienced more love, caring, and respect from everything around. We are vibrating so high now, that when we encounter things that are not “tapped in,” connected to, or exhibiting complete respect, caring, love, and support, it can feel like a hard slap or big splash of cold water in our faces. This is why this latest round of darker energies may have felt so very strange, unusually harsh, and a significant contrast to what we are beginning to know as the “new norm.” Yes, the new norm is here to stay. All our needs will be met, and anything other than the highest of energies will feel so out of place and unpleasant indeed. We have made great progress. July will really move things forward again, all our ducks will be in a row, and away we will go! Miracles abounding, joys ever-present, and our dreams manifesting….www.whatsuponplanetearth.comWishing you Heaven in your heart, starlight in your soul, and miracles in your life in these miraculous times. Until next time, Karen
