Did we just enter the Twilight Zone?
by Aluna Joy, with the Star Elders | July 2003


Note to readers: It has been a long time since the Star Elder had something to say to the masses. Usually their messages come in sessions or in small groups of sacred site adventurers -- but at this time they have a strong message to share. It is an interesting time we live in and with the Star Elder humor, wit and wisdom, they can help us see a new perspective so the shift can be anticipated with excitement not dreaded with fear.

Just as you thought life couldn't get any weirder -- it did! You don't have to be a super psychic to feel that the energy has accelerated with a strange new twist recently. Many are feeling a little dizzy or out of balance / out of body, while others are feeling just plain tired and taking some much needed cat naps. We are also seeing a trend of small and some not-so-small weird mishaps; from bumping your heads to life-threatening accidents. Other health issues are on the rise, as well. Some are feeling confused and feel stuck and without guidance. This transformational, evolutionary amplified energy has certainly gotten everyone's attention. Something has shifted and you are not real sure what this means, what caused it and how you fit into the new energy. You find yourself questioning who you are and why you are here with a renewed vengeance.

Now, before you get all twisted up in this energy, like a slice of sour lemon you drop in your glass of summer iced tea, remember you are not alone in this. You didn't do anything wrong. The bump on your head or skinned knee isn't karma pay back, nor is your enemy attacking you. Simply put, we have all just entered the spiritual twilight zone. This may sound scary, but we have to remind you that this is what you came here for. So we are a little surprised that you are not completely excited. From our perspective, that twisted lemon slice is tasting pretty sweet in that cool ocean of summer tea you're floating in. This is just what you wanted, and we are here to remind you why.

Do you remember that you came to Earth this time around for the much anticipated BIG SHIFT of the ages? Your not being here this time around was completely out of the question. That would be like missing out on getting tickets to the Big Movie Premier. You couldn't have that -- so away you came -- all in a big hurry to get here so you wouldn't miss out. Well, the mission was accomplished. You haven't missed out on a thing and the front row tickets to the big show are in your pocket. You made it just in time!

Being here for the big shift, the premiere for earth's ascension, means that you will learn and enjoy energy fluctuations and accelerations without knowing fully what is going on. The big mystery of knowing you do not know is part of the fun you expected when you bought the ticket. We are little kids exploring the world, and we make of it what we will. It is like a big cosmic roller coaster: We scream on the way up and down, but we love it just the same.

Activated by eclipses, record-breaking solar flares, this year's solstice that was aligned with the center 20 days of Mayan cycles (June 23-July 12) has acted like a place in between worlds, between the past and future. We have come to the end of what we know and are now crossing a HUGE evolutionary bridge to what we are becoming. So if you are feeling a little strange, ungrounded, tired, confused and just plain out if it, this is why.

What's happening?
So let's explain what is happening. Earth is a living energy source. Certain places on the planet have more energy emitting from them than others. Any time a location on earth rises toward the sky, it is connecting to cosmic forces, thus accelerating the earth and any living thing that gets in the way while this process is going on. Many adventurous souls are attracted to these powerful places because they simply feel good. It matters not if the person knows what is happening or not. The energy is received and it is used to raise that seeker's consciousness.

Many of these powerful places are obvious and were marked by ancient ones in the form of pyramids and temples. Other power places may not be marked, but they are usually on mountaintops or other interesting raised areas of the earth. Even the crest of a wave in the ocean is connecting to the cosmic forces. This is why surfing and mountain climbing, etc., are such powerful sports. Now you see why we are attracted to climb to the top of the mountain or pyramid, or catch that last wave. We intuitively know it is helping us adjust to rising energy.

If you go to a mountaintop that naturally receives and emits huge amounts of energy -- that also has remains of an ancient culture that honored the energy -- now that's what we call a real hot spot! An example would be the monasteries in Tibet and ancient cities in the Andes of Peru. Even on the flatlands of Maya, the ancient ones built temples on raised earthen platforms. They built pyramid atop pyramid to build energy within it to create a high-energy spot.

Through celestial alignments and shifts in time and space, Earth is now getting more energy. More is being received and emitted from earth in power places. Also, the radius of the energy field around power places has doubled, so more land mass is being activated than before.

How humanity handles this energy is related to how they have been living. No one is exempt from this energy at this time. All are being activated at a higher level than before. All are feeling it, even if they don't know what it is that they are feeling. There is no place to hide from it. Even those who live in very low or minus altitudes (low-energy areas) are getting it more than before. If you are in a body and living on earth, you are in for the BIG ride. So hang on.

The people who had the time or had the means to travel to sacred sites, mountaintops, etc., over and over in their lifetime will find the rising energy a little easier to handle. These ones have become accustomed to the powerful energy to a certain extent. It is not certain that they will be unaffected by the accelerations, but they will be able to attune to it quicker and with greater ease.

If you are one of these energy junkies, you are also here to help those who didn't have the means to listen to that inner calling and travel to the mountaintops or temple sites. They were busy keeping the world going for you by stocking the grocery shelves and paving the roads so you could eat and travel. These ones are going to need a little encouragement that it will be all be OK. They will find you.

No right or wrong
Those who feel they got the wrong ticket somehow, or changed their minds and don't want to come to the big premier, will leave and come back some other time. Again, there is no right or wrong way to experience this amazing time. From our perspective, humanity is going through the shift of the ages -- and many out there in the cosmos are bummed they didn't get their tickets in time to join in the fun. So appreciate what you are experiencing, as it is the best roller coaster in the galaxy.

So, how can you deal with the energy today and for the next few years until 2012 --??? Be careful. If you don't feel in balance, watch your head so you don't get a bump. Get sleep when you need it, drink water and talk to like-minded souls to ease the worries you might be having. Remember, the rules have changed and the cosmic landscape has shifted, so don't worry if things don't make sense. They won't. You have nothing to compare with what is happening today. You are entering into new exciting territory. Things will not work the same as they did before and your motivations and passions will change with the new currents. You may not have clear direction for a while. SO -- have FUN, and enjoy life.

We all knew this was coming, but isn't it a little strange that the day is upon us now! We had almost given up hope. We had heard about this so many times and in so many ways that it had become spiritual blah blah blah to our inpatient ears. But we are feeling the energy now and this is great confirmation, and it also gives us new hope that all the inner messages we have been getting are coming to pass.

What is next after we cross the bridge to the future? It is as simple as this: When we get to the future and become what we are becoming, what we are is what we have become during this journey. So if you are asking, "What is on the other side of the bridge we are crossing?" that is up to you! It is up to US collectively. So enjoy the journey. Have a joyful time and live with the heart wide open to all possibilities and expect the unexpected. Because what is on the other side you cannot imagine from where you are standing now.

Hitting Critical Mass
by Aluna Joy Yaxk’in | September 2003


The subtle clues are evident that something new is upon us. The changes that we have been waiting for are here at last. But did we notice the subtle shift? We have grown and evolved through wave after wave of heightened energy. For a while it seemed like each wave was the same as the last, packed with a little more punch each time around. These waves have been the same energy that has been systematically pounding us since the '60s. Just as we began to get bored and impatient with the process -- it happened! I feel like a kid who is too excited to speak about something for fear of jinxing it. But I am going to say it anyway: I think we just hit critical mass! I think that enough conscious people have done enough good work and held positive intent that we have made the leap.

This new wave of energy has been affecting us differently and more deeply than before. Physically, we have been feeling internal quaking. The building pressure has been causing nausea, dizziness, head pressure and strange headaches, eyeball pressure and visual changes, sensitivity to sound, short-term memory loss, chest pains and pressure and digestive disturbances. Sleeping erratically has caused a worn-out feeling. We know that our bodies take more time to adjust to shifting energy than our spirit does. Our body needs time to adjust to the increased energies. When we get downloaded with new energies, it can cause a temporary feeling of pressure as the plates in our heads shifts. Digestive problems and chest pressure can be caused by the kundalini rising.

These physical symptoms are nothing new. We have felt them before, but what is different is how they are affecting us emotionally. We have been disinterested in goals, possessions, money, food and even relationships. Our passion and motivations have vanished! This global despondency leaves us feeling directionless, passionless and visionless and not caring that this is so. Did we finally get to the place where we have become desireless? If we are desireless and have no attachment to any outcome at all, can we go on the way we have been? Absolutely not, and this is what excites me today. What if becoming desireless is the last stage before we move to the Promised Land, the next reality or the New Age.

It is clear that we are at a crossroads where we will decide if we still have something to contribute. Maybe what we thought we were contributing is shifting with everything else. We are letting go of what we were and becoming who we really are now! We are letting go of attachments, and this frees us to all the new and limitless possibilities if front of us now.

Ancient cultures all over the world teach about being desireless and living with non-attachment. For thousands of years we have worked to obtain these attitudes. We have been the monks in the mountain cave. We have lived lives unhampered by material or worldly goods. We have been servants of God, relinquishing everything. We have tried so hard to live these truth principles over and over, and we found it did not come easy to us, if at all. What we once thought was hard spiritual work or something that took great dedication and sacrifice seems to be just happening to us.

Did we just enter a cosmic doorway in which we are manifesting our dreams or...did we just hit critical mass?

If we are letting go of this reality, do we just fade away, shift into another dimension or create a huge cataclysmic earth shift? The predictions are vast and varied, scary and beautiful. But predictions can only be based on what we know and what we have done in the past. Maybe there are new ways to move though a shift of the ages. If we look at how the shifts are already happening with little effort, then why would the next shift be any different? Why do we always think getting to where we want to be has to be difficult work? Why do we feel that the shift of the ages means we are going to lose what is important to us? Why does it mean people will die horrible deaths while the earth violently shakes? Why do we approach this exciting time with such trepidation and desperate anticipation? Maybe it is time to let go of our outdated beliefs that are based on past difficulties. Maybe spirit and the natural progression of life is showing us a different way.

Maybe in our TRYING to evolve we have created unnecessary challenges for us all. Maybe if we had lived in BE-ingness, the challenges of the past would have been glorious and blissful events. Why was it so hard for us to just "Let go and LET GOD?" I have to admit that I am feeling a little silly right now, knowing how hard I tired over the years and how much sacrifice I endured to get to a place that was just handed to me when I simply gave up!

It only takes a small percentage of the population to become awake and consciousness to shift the global mind set. The numbers are arguable and not important here. But as a rough example, when 100 people live peace and compassion, then 1,000 will be affected. If 1,000 are consciously aware, then 10,000 or more are shifted. A great example of critical mass was the recent power blackout in New York City. In the past, blackouts and other problems caused a huge wave of looting and crime. But this time, the citizenry maintained a peaceful and helpful tone. Was this just a fluke? I don't think so. I think it is a small sign of what is to come. Just as it takes our body time to shift to the changes, so it is with Mother earth and all her inhabitants. In a little time, the positive shift will become more apparent.

We can say this shift was caused by the closest approach of Mars to Earth in 60,000 years, or the nearing genesis point of ancient Mayan cycles -- or even the mass consciousness of a thousands of peaceful folks helping each other out during a blackout. Without huge global earth shifts, collapses of the governments of the world, global plagues, floods and famine, we have come to a point where enough work has been done. We are now shifting the planet's consciousness -- and all we have to do is let go and let GOD. When we let go of what has been and allow for a brighter future, there is nothing that can stop us now.
