Karen Downing: A Breakthrough is Near

A Breakthrough is Near

a message from Karen Downing

Friday, 17 March, 2017 

How do you know when you are approaching a significant breakthrough? There are 3 main signs that you can look for externally and internally. The difficult in pinpointing these signs often lies in how they are expressed: in balanced opposition.


The universe is a finely tuned balance of all things, at all times. And so, when a breakthrough is near, everything is amplified. This means that you can experience confusion along with clarity, heightened emotion along with detachment, calm along with urgency, and so forth.


A breakthrough is an enhancement, and as humanity is primed to burst into a new reality, the foreshadow of this upcoming breakthrough can feel both bumpy and calm at the same time. It has been said by many that the planet has been experiencing steady waves of energy in these last few years. It is important to remember that these waves, like the ocean, create an ebb and flow.


Ebb and flow are in balance, as one cannot occur without the other, therefore they are merely different perceptions of the same concept. Same goes with all concepts kept in balance. Ebb is flow, clarity is confusion, urgency is calm. When you can recognize each of these energies as two sides of the same coin, then you are ready to cash in for your breakthrough.


The equinox is the perfect time to do just that.


So, how do you spot these breakthrough energies? Look for the natural cycles moving between what many may feel to be polar opposites.


Many of you reading this message may find yourself moving between states of high clarity and focus into state of confusion, mistrust and not knowing. The first step to understanding what is happening is to realize that this is a natural cycle. The reason it is coming to your attention now is because, like all cycles, the ebb and flow here has sped up.


Understand that both clarity and confusion are states of connection. When you are connected and fully in tune with your spiritual body, you feel clarity; when you are disconnected, you feel confusion. During this time, humanity is climbing a staircase of Ascension, and each time you step up one stair, you are slightly out of body. Then, as you rest upon that stair, you are brought back into unison. And, on and on it goes. You normally don’t notice this process so much, because long pauses are taken at each stair. However, when a breakthrough approaches, a rapid climbing takes place, and you can move up several stairs a day, bouncing quickly between these two states of connection.


To find your way through this journey, try to remain hyper-aware of the now. This can be done by saying internally what you are engaged in at the moment, “I am walking, I am opening a cupboard, I am grabbing a cup, I am putting the cup on the counter, etc.” As this connection process continues to speed up, this hyper-awareness of the now will be your best navigation guide.


Second, look for enhanced expression of emotions in yourself and others. As a breakthrough is near and the energy increases, it acts like a magnet to draw out all emotional energy. During this time, there will be some people experiencing very strong emotions, as well as others who act as if nothing fazes them. Again, these are two sides of the same coin. Both are equally valuable paths to understanding yourself, why you feel what you feel, where your emotions come from, and if those emotions are still serving your highest needs today.


There is nothing wrong with emotions, they contain a massive inventory of valuable information. The challenge occurs when emotions overrun your life, and cause you to act on pure emotional impulse. Think of emotions as your own personal movie, they provide you with your life context, your perspective, and lead you to the next important segment of your story. Those are all helpful on your life path. However, like a movie, you are meant to experience your emotions through imagination, discussion, healthy release, and other such methods. But, you are not meant to live your emotions as if you are the movie itself.


When a breakthrough is near, it can become very difficult for some people to separate their emotions from their reality, thus causing rants, blame, victimhood, and other such patterns to be expressed much more intensely. If you are around someone who is experiencing heightened emotions in such a way, give them space to process, do not engage directly in their emotional movie, but instead encourage them to release their emotions safely, by writing, watching a movie, reading a book, taking a walk, visiting a therapist, or any other way that would be an appropriate release for them as an individual.


Third, you will feel the energetic momentum building. As humanity continues forward, you will feel a crescendo of energy. This energy can be felt of in one of two ways. One will be freeing and joyful, a like making it to the end of a long race. The other may feel overwhelming, urgent, or stressful. These are two different expressions of alignment. When you are aligned with your life path and God’s path for you (God’s will), you will feel free, joyful and in sync with life. Synchronicities will pop up again and again, circumstances will work themselves out, and there is an overall ease to any experience.


When you feel overwhelmed and stressful, you are trying to exert your control on your life. You are forgetting to trust in yourself and the path that you already set in motion. You are forgetting to trust in God/ Spirit/The Universe. When you are not in harmony with your life path, you still feel that momentum building, but push against it with fearful thoughts, such as: that it will not happen, not be want you want, not be when you want, not be enough, will happen for everyone else not you, etc.


When you are out of alignment, you can experience things not going well, being clumsy, miscommunication, frustration with you wanting things to be your way (even if you cannot recognize it). If you just got frustrated with that last statement, then you are not in alignment.


Another way to represent God’s will is the idea of unconditional acceptance. This is more than simply accepting everyone else for who they are, this is also accepting events, places, experiences, situations and everything else as it is. No need to drive aggressive in traffic, it is what it is. No need to be angry with the wait for your dinner, it is what it is. No need to track down that package, it will arrive at the right time. No need to interject to tell someone what to do, they are who they are. No need to force a conclusion to occur, it will take place in God’s time.


When you start from a place of acceptance, then you are automatically in alignment, and will intuitively know what to do or say. But, when your pride tells you that you are entitled to something now, or that you know better, then you will find yourself trying to push against the very momentum here to assist you.


All in all, a breakthrough is an expanding balloon of energy, enhancing every aspect of life, so that it can be felt in extreme. In the extremes of connection, emotion, and alignment, you will learn about yourself. That learning is the impetus for a personal breakthrough. When millions or billions of personal breakthroughs occur simultaneously, it is indeed the large-scale transition shift of the ages.

The way forward is becoming clear to many people but there are so many misleading situations that you are never certain whether you are taking the correct path. The best measure is to ask yourself what expectations are you personally aiming for, and trust your intuition to determine whether you are heading in the right direction. It is desirable to have a goal in life rather than an aimless existence, yet all situations will address your need to learn certain lessons to help you evolve. Bear in mind that nothing that impinges upon your life has done so by accident, even although there is no immediate outcome apparent. You Dear Ones, are responsible for whatever path your life takes having been gifted with freewill. However, you always have a life plan agreed upon before you incarnate, and this must be taken into consideration.


All will be revealed when you return to the higher dimensions, and it is a time of self-appraisal when nothing but a truthful account can be recorded. Be assured that all along the way you have support from many souls, who wish for you the best outcome. However, humans being what they are can lose sight of their goals when they get embroiled in earthly emotions. Self-control is something you are learning all of the time as without it you are literally a lost soul. You are putting an Age behind you that has been one of the bloodiest imaginable when the same mistakes have happened time and time again. The ego has lead you onto a path of destruction, but fortunately there are sufficient of you who have turned to the Light, and realised that decisions based upon love are the only way out of your predicament. The truth is that you will eventually see the futility of continual wars, and realise that the time has now arrived to promote peace and goodwill.


Why not build for prosperity instead of destroying lives and property, causing sorrow and hardship. Where is the gain except for the control of the Earth’s land and treasures? Many kingdoms have come and gone in spite of having reached a peak, and the lesson is clear that nothing lasts forever amidst the lower vibrations. How long will it take Man to realise that you are all Brothers and Sisters walking the same path. Would it not therefore make good sense to help each other to achieve success. You tend to judge someone depending on their wealth and position in society, yet from one life to another roles may well change depending on what experience is needed. Man has created his own experiences but time is running out now that the New Age has commenced. Now it is up to each soul to consider where they are going with their life, and if they are ready to take a giant leap forward. The higher dimensions beckon but you cannot just move into them without having raised your vibrations.


While you are busy attending to your own needs, we are planning a welcome for those of you who have already decided to do whatever is necessary to rise up. You are finding that by keeping firmly on your path, you are progressing and able to disregard whatever is going on around you. There are many distractions but these are relics of an Age that will soon pass, and you will leave them behind. You have wonders to discover that will take you speeding into the higher dimensions, and gone will be all the problems and issues that you have previously encountered. There is no place for them as the vibrations rise up and you will know that you have truly ascended. The reward has been well earnt by your dedication to the Light, and clear intent to leave anything less behind. All credit to you for having established your place in the future, by lifting up into higher vibrations.The signs are all around you that indicate how deep the changes are affecting your Earth. The lands and the oceans are all in the process of change that is all part of the restoration of Earth. Man has seriously polluted them and in reality the Earth would have died but for the cleansing that we have regularly carried out. Indeed, had we not allowed matters to get out of hand, the damage could well have been irreversible. Dear Ones, your experiences have not been wasted and valuable lessons have been learnt. However, as long as the dark Ones remain on Earth there is a continual threat to the environment that we are monitoring. Be assured that we will not allow them to destroy or devastate the Earth. This Age is to bring success for Man in his quest for the truth of his existence and wonderful future that lies ahead.


The last 100 years have been instrumental in awakening many souls who have been so engulfed in the lower vibrations, that they lost touch with their true selves. Some are still living in the unreal world that you have created, but as the vibrations continue to rise they will gradually comprehend the truth. They will always have evolved souls around them waiting for the signs that they are awakening, so that they may guide them to continue moving into the Light. The end of a cycle such as you are going through now is often very demanding, as karma that has accumulated over a long period of time is cleared. It concerns not just individuals but also Nations that have promoted their own beliefs rather than the truth. There is only the one truth and it can be simply put as “Love”, and as you evolve it becomes more apparent to you. The times of separation are over and in the future Man will realise that as you are All One there is no place for self-aggrandisement.


I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and p[eased as always to help you enjoy your experiences. When you understand that there is no such thing as death of the soul, it takes away the fear of dying and enables you to cope with your experiences. You also realise that you have many lives in which to fulfil your need for challenges that will allow you to evolve, and as we have often pointed out you have Guides and other unseen helpers always on hand. Keep faith with your intent to travel your path and move closer to the Light, and know that you will get there in the end. There is no time limit to your needs, as in reality time does not exist as you know it. I send my Love always.


Thank you SaLuSa.

NorthPoint Astrology Journal Your Guide to Planetary Energies for September 22 to 28, 2014 By Pam Younghans

NorthPoint Astrology Journal

September 22 to 28, 2014by Pam Younghans

Highlighted Aspects:MON: Jupiter semisquare Sun, Pluto stations direct 5:35pm PDT, Sun enters Libra (Equinox) 7:29pm PDT; TUE: Chiron quincunx Jupiter, New Moon 11:13pm PDT; THU: Uranus trine Jupiter; FRI: Chiron sesquisquare Mercury; SAT: Mercury enters Scorpio; SUN: Saturn semisquare Sun, Neptune quincunx Sun

MOST ASTROLOGERS found it laughable when, in 2006, Pluto was demoted in status. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) decided that Pluto did not qualify as a "planet," so it became designated as a "dwarf planet."

The reason most of us chuckled at this demotion is because, in spite of its relatively small size and incredible distance from Earth, Pluto is a huge player in the energetics of our human experience. So it is fitting, in this week when Pluto is about to change direction and its influence is heightened, that astronomers are reconsidering Pluto's status once again.

Scientists last Thursday had a debate on the subject at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. A vote taken after the debate showed that most in attendance now believe Pluto should regain its status as planet.

Nothing is official yet, since it appears that an IAU vote is the deciding factor. But just ask anyone who is currently experiencing a strong transit from Pluto -- they will be very quick to tell you that Pluto's effects can hardly be called "dwarf."

ALL OF US are working with Pluto's increased influence now, most notably in the areas of life represented by its house location in our natal charts (of both natal Pluto and transiting Pluto). Pluto has been retrograde (moving backward) since April 14, and now is ready to turn around and start forward motion again.

When a planet changes direction, it moves very slowly, and so tends to have greater impact than when it is moving more quickly -- a bit like the difference between dipping your hand briefly in a bucket of ice water and holding it there for several minutes.

Pluto's ultimate effect is deep transformation, especially of those aspects of our personalities that keep us chained to clashes of ego and will. As a transpersonal planet in astrological terms, Pluto's intention is to elevate our understanding and use of the ego -- not to deny it but to empower it in positive ways. An empowered ego does not need to do battle to prove itself. It resides in such a place of strength that it does not need to be defensive.

ASTROLOGER Bil Tierney explains in his book Dynamics of Aspect Analysis that:

    "Pluto is only concerned with confronting us with the essence of that which we have not transformed to a higher level of expression. Like Saturn, Pluto shows us the reality of our limitations, although from a more psychological point of view. Much depends upon the degree of our self-discipline and emotional self-mastery."

"Emotional self-mastery" is a key term here. Pluto's ultimate goal is that of empowerment. One of the main ways we keep ourselves disempowered is by allowing negative emotions such as fear, suspicion, shame, and guilt to be in control of our thoughts and actions.

Pluto often brings to the surface those very emotions just listed. The intention is not punitive, but to help us be aware of the power of those emotions, and to help us learn how to rechannel in positive ways the energy currently being lost in nonproductive (or counter-productive) outlets.

IT IS NO COINCIDENCE that I happened upon my copy of the book Power vs. Force earlier this week. I had looked for it a few months ago, but in not finding it, believed I must have loaned it away. But a couple of days ago, as I reached behind a row of books in my bookshelf, hoping to find whatever it was I was looking for at the time (who remembers now!), the book that came out in my hand was this very book by David R. Hawkins.

Power vs. Force is a insightful, scientifically-based treatise on kinesiology and related subjects. What I mostly remember from my reading of it many, many years ago, is that it had a wonderful delineation of the levels of human consciousness, assigning energy levels to the various emotions.

At the bottom of the scale is Shame, which Dr. Hawkins gives an energy level of 20. Guilt is at energy level 30, Fear is at 100, Anger at 150, etc. etc., finally reaching Enlightenment at energy levels 700 to 1,000.

I often think about this book and the energy level scale when working with emotional issues. It reminds me why anger feels better than apathy or fear, but still does not feel as good as courage or even neutrality.

THIS BOOK with its energy level scale is a helpful tool right now because Pluto often pulls out of us the emotions at the lower end of the scale. I say "pulls out of us," because Pluto does just that -- it doesn't create those emotions in our experience, it reveals where they are hidden within us by bringing them into our consciousness.

Once we are aware of these lower-vibrational emotions that we carry, we can use the energy level scale to gradually raise our consciousness.The scale helps, because it shows us a step-by-step process. Rather than insisting that we make the giant leap from anger to love, it reminds us that if it feels difficult to bring in the vibration of love in our present emotional state, we can at least get started in the right direction by choosing some of the emotions that are higher on the scale, but that also feel within reach.

OUR OTHER important astrological events this week are clustered in the next few days. Monday brings us Pluto's station and the Equinox, when the Sun enters Libra. Tuesday marks the beginning of the new lunar cycle, and Thursday is the Uranus-Jupiter trine.

Here's what astrologer Stephanie Austin writes about these days around an Equinox, in the current issue of "The Mountain Astrologer":

    "During the day before, on, and after the equinox, the Sun's alignment with the Earth's equator generates a reduction in the magnetic field of the Earth, enabling us to access higher dimensions more easily. Equinox and solstice points are thus energetic gateways and extra-potent times to set intentions and participate in ceremony, ritual, and prayer."

SCIENTISTS know that we tend to have more auroras around the Equinox, although they also admit that they do not have an explanation that completely accounts for the phenomenon. Auroras usually occur when solar winds from the Sun brush against the Earth's magnetic field. But, auroras also occur at the Equinoxes, with or without solar winds to set them off.

So, what does that mean for us and our experience? Mostly that there is an important energy shift that occurs in the Earth's electromagnetic field at the Equinoxes, and that therefore occurs in our human magnetic fields as well. In other words, as Ms. Austin says, the Equinox is an energetic gateway that enables us to access higher dimensions more easily.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST on my list of what I want to talk about today is the Uranus-Jupiter trine on Thursday. If you attended my teleclass back in June, you'll remember that I was pretty excited about this event, based on what each planet represents.

Jupiter is the visionary and the optimist; Uranus is the innovator and inventor. When these two planets work in harmony together (the trine aspect), we have increased potentials for gaining important insights, making changes that fill our lives with greater meaning, and accessing realms usually beyond our reach, both on the physical plane and interdimensionally.

Other possible manifestations, especially for those who are working with strong Uranus transits this year, involve having the courage to finally make those changes that we've been toying with for many months. For some, this trine could mean it's time for the breakthroughs we've been anticipating.

So, it could be an interesting and powerful week, in many regards...

Blessings,

Pam
