If we were able to sit up in the stratosphere and look down on Earth, we would perhaps be able to see how the many changes that are currently taking place on our planet have an overall connection. Some of these changes are obvious, such as the strange weather patterns that seem to be affecting us no matter where we live. Hurricanes, cyclones, water spouts and tidal waves. More rain or less rain than we usually get and leading to either floods or fires to name but a few.

If we look at society in general we can see that there are many changes taking place there too. Many people are no longer sitting complacently in their homes believing that all is right with the world. Believing that those in authority necessarily have their best interests at heart, particularly as more and more government and industry cover-up's come to public awareness. It seems too, that almost every few weeks we are invited to join in a world peace meditation and to trust that by collectively joining our 'thought forms' that we can create positive change by simply all thinking about love. That in itself is a major change! But we are not just updating our perception on what is going on in the outside world, but also reassessing what is going on in our personal relationships, our careers and lifestyles and making, in some cases, quite revolutionary changes.

So what exactly is going on? Could there be some synchronicity between what is going on outside as well as what is going on inside? The saying 'As above, so below' applies here and could be rewritten as 'As within, so without'. So that if we began to explore the changes that we are feeling compelled to make in our lives we would see that we are responding to something that is within us. It is making itself felt in the outside world but the control and the direction of these changes is coming from our deep unconscious and is instinctive rather than ordered and controlled by logic.

The call to which we are responding involves, however, something which is outside our present limited comprehension and is being directed by the Creator Of All That Is. It is time for the planet Earth and all that is on it, to change from a third dimensional life force environment into a fifth dimensional one. In order to evolve into this higher dimension, all current life forms on Earth have to change physically, and for human beings, changes also need to be made on the mental, emotional as well as spiritual levels.

Normally, when this kind of dimensional shift occurs, as it does quite often in the lower dimensions of this universe, the life forms, combust. The reason for this is that the life forms in this environment physically operate at low vibrational frequencies and are therefore, unable to change quickly enough within the fraction of a second that it takes to make the shift into a less dense format. One of the reasons why we can't see other dimensional life forms, even though they are all around us, is because we are not ourselves at a high enough energetic frequency level to do so. Beings from higher dimensions can see us, and can move down to our density, but we can't move up until we are able to readjust our frequency levels to one that is infinitely finer.

At an unconscious level, Earth's population is aware that this dimensional change is already under way, and this is one of the reasons why fears about the future are rising to the surface of mass consciousness. Many people are feeling anxious, restless and unsettled, yet consciously are unable to say what it is that is making them feel this way. In the third dimension we have a very strong concept of death and destruction and fear that there will soon be an end to all that is. And whilst this does have an element of truth to it because the world as we know it will cease to exist, this does not mean death or destruction. It simply means change.

A great experiment has been conducted by the Creator of All That Is which has involved all of us who inhabit this universe (even those who are in spiritual form) and this has been operational for millions of years as Earth time goes. We have been caught up in a major negative distortional thought form, which among other things, has stopped all spiritual and physical evolution moving past certain base levels and which has contained us in this third dimensional environment. This experiment has however, now drawn to a close, and the doorways are to be reopened for those of us who choose to evolve further.

One of the reasons why the planet currently has so many people is because a large proportion of us are ready to take up the challenge and evolve into beings who live life from higher levels of consciousness. This involves us completely changing the way we think and behave. We are required to readjust our thought processes, letting go of old belief systems and embracing a new reality which involves taking back our own power. To attain this new state of being we are required us to let go of third dimensional concepts which thus compels us to let go of current relationships, jobs, careers, homes, possessions and so on if they are unable to support our new way of being. This releasing process is not easy, but is absolutely fundamental to our being able to support a higher level of consciousness.

This journey into the higher dimensions is known as the Ascension process. Whilst these changes deeply affect our emotional and mental state, as well as our life-styles, we also undergo some physical changes as our body readjusts to the higher vibrational forces which accompany our increasing levels of consciousness. As we sleep we are gradually embodying more strands of DNA, changing from a carbon-based body with 2 strands of DNA into a crystalline body which has access to thousands of strands of DNA, because only crystalline substances can exist in higher physical dimensional levels. But it is not just we humans who are changing into crystalline, but all life-forms, including the Earth herself. All the fish in the sea, the flowers and trees in our garden, the birds in the sky, even our pet dog or cat. Everything is changing.

Also, the changes to our physiological make-up are currently speeding up and there are many temporary physical symptoms that are occurring in our bodies as a consequence of this. Some of these are:
**Flu-like symptoms. High temperatures, sweating, aching bones and joints etc, but which do not respond to antibiotics.
**Migraine headaches with severe pain that is not relieved with pain killers.
**Occasional diarrhea.
**Occasional runny nose and sneezing which lasts 24 hours and is not a cold or
**Hayfever.
**Dizziness.
**Ringing in the ears.
**Heart palpitations.
**Feeling the whole body vibrate, especially at night when one is in a relaxed state.
**Intense muscular spasms and pain in one or more areas of the body.
**Tingling in arms, hands, legs or feet.
**Temporary loss of muscular power in the body caused by changes to the circulatory system.
**Occasional breathing difficulties, and/or noticing stronger or louder breathing when in a relaxed state.
**Immune system changes.
**Tenderness in the breasts and/or genitals.
**Lymphatic system changes.
**Changes to skin tone and colour.
**Feeling tired or exhausted from minor exertion.
**Wanting to sleep longer and more often than usual.
**Toe nails and hair growing quicker than usual.
**Bouts of depression for no real reason.
**Finding that one is delving into the past, looking at relationships and gaining clarity on personal issues.
**Feeling one is doing a huge purge.
**Tension, anxiety and high stress levels because one feels that something is going
on but one doesn't know what it is.

Some of these symptoms are being felt by a great many people. Many are rushing off in panic to their doctor, chiropractor, herbalist and so on and usually told that there is nothing really wrong with them. And this is the truth. For all these symptoms are just temporary and simply indicate that the above mentioned physiological changes are occurring.

Some of the recommended relief remedies for the above are:
**Go with the flow, don't fight it.
**If you feel tired and exhausted, rest and get plenty of sleep.
**Drink plenty of water for you are detoxifying and dehydrating quicker than usual.
**To relieve emotional tension and stress levels take Valerian.
**Fenugreek relieves stress on the lymphatic system and helps the detoxification.
**To relieve muscle spasm take Valerian and try mud baths or a long hot soak in a bath into which you add a cup of Epsom salts. 
Do this daily.

Recognize that even if you are having heart palpitations or breathing difficulties that it is the heart chakra or the throat chakra that is unblocking and that the symptoms are temporary. You aren't dying, just changing! However, don't just take my word for it. Seek medical guidance if you are unsure.

If you don't know where to get Valerian or Fenugreek try a health food store or better still, simply say the name in your head when you need relief. All healing energies are transmitted via the sound of the name and are just as effective said in the mind as aloud or as in physically taking them. Try it and see.

Ask your angel guides or higher self to help relieve any pain.

Most symptoms seem to last a couple of weeks, then clear up.

Some symptoms may reoccur from time to time.

These changes are not necessarily being experienced by everyone concurrently, for instance, a very small percentage of adults have already embodied a further 2 strands of DNA (as at 2001) and are now beginning to move into fourth dimensional awareness. This physical change in our state of being is completely dependent upon our current level of consciousness, therefore, as we lift our perceptions to embrace ever increasing levels of truth and higher thought, so we embody further strands of DNA. This entire process is managed by our I AM presence or higher self, so we are in extremely capable and loving hands, and must therefore, learn to surrender to it.

It should be realized that many people have chosen not to make this journey. Not everyone feels ready to make the full-on commitment which is required to make these changes occur, and there are others too, who still have a great deal of learning to do at a third dimensional level and are nowhere near ready to evolve. These are the times when we must say our goodbyes to those who choose to remain at the third dimensional level of consciousness because what we may feel is true and right for us, may not be accepted by our nearest and dearest. Hence, the emotional tug-of-war we may encounter when we heed the call to release ourselves from current friendships and partnerships and even, in some cases, from close family members.

The movement of the Earth's population through the fourth dimension and into the fifth and above, takes place gradually and those making this journey are in three waves or groups. The first wave is the smallest in number, but the most important, for it is these people in the forefront who have taken it upon themselves to get the energies shifting and who have been intensely working on themselves for many years. It is their strength of purpose which has initiated and supported the new age movement, and their reward for prolonged endeavour is to be the first to complete the journey. The second wave, which is where a large proportion of new ager's lie, are in various stages of awakening, many having advanced in recent years but still with some way to go. The third wave of humanity have not yet begun to wake up to the internal call for change (as at 2001) but we will be welcoming more of them during the next two years as they begin their search for Self.

It should be understood therefore, that this dimensional shift is not made concurrently by all peoples at the same time. In fact, within each wave, there are many different levels of awareness in operation. This is why the new age movement is so diverse in its beliefs. It's horses for courses! Not everyone comes to the same level of understanding in the same way, nor at the same speed or even within the same time frame.

The doorway into the fourth dimension actually opened at the end of 1998 and many of the first wave are currently adjusting into a more enlightened way of thinking. As they progress they will continue to gradually take on more strands of DNA and make further physical changes. It should be understood that all dimensions are space continuums which are created by the thought-forms of their inhabitants. Today, the fourth dimension today appears to be no different than the third because there are not enough people yet at that level of consciousness to greatly affect the outside world. However, this will gradually change. The doorway into the fifth dimension is currently estimated to open sometime during 2007 for those who wish to move straight on through. However, the majority of people will stay at a fourth dimensional level of awareness for around a 1,000 years, or maybe even longer and will be determined by personal choice.

At Spirit's request, I have written and published three books which deal with this Ascension process. The first is "Changing The Thought - A Book of Insight" (which deals specifically with the mental and emotional changes that accompany this transformational shift into a different way of thinking. This book is designed to help all of us make life more joyous and fulfilling, and is especially helpful to those who are in the early stages of the Ascension process.

The second, "The ULTIMATE Ascension Handbook" fills in those missing pieces we have been wanting to know such as, who we are, where did we come from and how did we come to be here? There are stunning details about the 'fall in consciousness', who the Starseeds, Walk-ins and Lightworkers really are, and the difference between Karmic Partners, Soul Mates and Twin Flames. There is a whole chapter devoted to describing the DNA changes taking place and how the human body is a masterful piece of genetic engineering.

The third book, "Journey Out of the Third Dimension" puts our third dimensional mind-set under the microscope. It takes a much more detailed look at Karma and Karmic relationships how this Universal Law has affected our lives on so many levels. It shows us some of our everyday beliefs that we carry in our mind-set and are not even aware of, and how they create the discord and aggravation in our relationships. This book will help us alter how we see ourselves and the way we live, assisting us to restructure a new world society created by new thought forms of trust, peace and harmony.
