The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Stieg Larsson’s series of three murder mystery novels and subsequent films based on the series have caused an international sensation and the interest is not diminishing but growing exponentially.

The Challenge Of Creating Our Future

The frequency of the Earth is shifting, The hertz frequency of the earth is dropping temporarily while changes are being made from the core of the galaxy and from beyond this galaxy. This affects every human, animal, and plant on the planet and the climates and atmospheres of every planet in the solar system. We see animals and plants going extinct or migrating at a rapid pace to ensure their survival as the climate changes. Human beings, being highly adaptive, tend to remain in place as the climate shifts and the frequency of the earth shifts underneath their feet along with the climate. The result is that they are experiencing many changes in their everyday lives that they do not clearly understand. Let us look at some examples. This list will not be pretty so bear with me.

Shamanic Q & A

Question:

If the next 8-10 years are going to be highly chaotic, and the process of re-inventing the new earth would take 300 years to complete, then for us so called light workers who are middle aged, what is there to do in the meantime, so we can actually enjoy some light and prosperity? I have been taught you can manifest abundance in the midst of chaos, but not sure how to do that, given the state of affairs. I can practice being in the moment, and ignoring the news, and sending light to the affected areas, but as far as daily life in the next few years, what is the best way to cope?
 Thanks so much.

Answer:

Live your life as if it is three hundred years from now. Why wait? What do you want this world to look like three hundred years from now? What do you want to be experiencing? Why wait to be a loving and generous person? Why wait to bless people every day? Why wait to be overflowing with gratitude?
