A VERY JOYOUS 2014 TO YOU

Jeri Castronova, PhD

The holidays ended a year that bridged 2012, a year of rampant energies that seemed to be all over the place, and 2013, the year of learning to breathe again, yet not knowing where the breath was leading. 2014 begins a time of unknowns, an awareness we've been through the bumpy rides, and not knowing where the ride is going, just that the ending will be a dynamic Shift in Consciousness.

The completion energies of last year, the current astrological Grand Cross with square aspects to Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, the clearing of negative entities from the planet, and the global financial meltdown are causing all of us to take extra steps in cleansing and energizing. On a personal note, the past few weeks have left me in a state of writer's block, unable to come up with anything original for this newsletter. After talking to a friend, aligning with the photon energies, and smoothing out my auric field, thoughts began to form themselves into coherency. Just allowing words to present themselves, without critiquing, opens the floodgates, and the Goddess of Poetry always provides, this time in the form of Haiku and an angel message.

Memories of the past

Awaken talents honed

For future worlds

Once Upon A Timeless Night

Once upon a timeless night an angel said to me:

"Write your story on a cloud that all may see what you have done and haven't done, for everyone has a story that others need to hear-how they have prospered or thrown their wealth away, how they've made bad choices by ignoring the inner intuitive voices, and good choices by listening, how detours have led them off the path and in that wandering they've met their guides and found their loves.

"Tell them what you've done to complete your karmic cycle-the pains and pleasures-the joy of blending in spirit, body and mind in harmonious partnership, the pain in giving up a child for adoption, the grief in losing a beloved parent, child, or close relative, the sheer exuberance of sprinting along the beach with seagulls flapping and sand whipping your legs, the sense of reverence sitting in the massive halls of a French cathedral where centuries of sacred whispers, chants and prayers of the devoted filled the soaring ceilings and hover still in time and space.

"As you write your current and past life stories, encourage others, especially women, to write theirs-without fear, shame, regret, guilt, or pride. Tell them to write in rhyme, or free verse, or journaling, or in 3rd person, or in a film script, or a children's story, or fairy tale, or romance, or adventure, or thriller, or mystery, or sci fi that may actually be a manifestation of their future."

After writing down the angel's words, I asked, "Hold on. Wait a minute. You mean you want me to give writing lessons on how to write their stories?"

"No," answered the angel, "I want you to give PERMISSION to write their stories. To those who don't think they can write and those who don't think they even have a story, and those who think their lives aren't that important to write about. I want you to tell them:

"My friend, you have my permission to be important. You have my permission to write your story any way you want, however you feel comfortable.

"It's time to open up to your creative expressions and put them on paper, on canvas, in the computer, in music, on stage or video. Share your story with friends. Ask them to nurture it as you nurture theirs. Let it inspire other women to write, paint, create, and as you gain in expressing your identity, honor yourself and others for doing so.

"Now is the time for completion of your soul's journey and claiming Mastery of your lifetimes. No one-neither priest, rabbi, pastor, guru or holy one can give you the answers. Your story has the answers and as you complete it, you'll realize how much you actually know.

"You came to earth at this moment to be a part of this Great Game. Play the Game with lightness and fun. Gaia needs your light. Let her see it. Honor her as she honors you. Be the Light of the New Renaissance. Be the Light of the Golden Age. Now is the time for your light to shine in the world!"
