A Dream of Awakening

Dear one,

I had a dream this morning that I wanted you to interpret for me. There were actually two dreams in one. In the first part of the dream, I was younger and I didn’t look like me, but it was me. I was the participant and not just the observer. I met a man, who is no one I recognize from my waking life. At first he seemed very nice, but he turned out to be very self-absorbed and not much fun to be with.

Then, somehow, I found this baby. At first it was a normal baby, but she matured mentally almost instantly. Even though the baby remained small, she began to walk and communicate with me. I think her communication was telepathic. She also seemed to know many of her past/alternate realities and told me about them in a somewhat spoken, somewhat telepathic manner. The baby was very dirty for some reason and a great deal was made of washing her. As I think about it now, there was no feeding of the baby, nor was she ever hungry. I think she did soil her diapers, though. It was as if, she was totally advanced in some ways and still human in other ways. Her mind and consciousness was extremely advanced, but her body was still a normal baby body.

I started to talk to others about this baby, I think including the man, but I can’t remember for sure. Then, suddenly, she was a very beautiful and charismatic adult. This is where her body began t o change. There was a light from inside of her that began to expand more and more beyond her physical form. Then, I woke up thinking about how our Lightbody is beginning to expand beyond the boundaries of our physical form. Please assist me in understanding the meaning of this dream.

Our Dearest One,

As you can imagine the baby is, indeed you. In fact, the baby is all of humanity who is ready to awaken. The man in your dream represents those who are unwilling to see a different reality, whereas the baby represents those who are ready to begin an entirely different expression of SELF. The people were polarized into male and female to represent how the polarized world is separating further and further apart. You represented the point of view of the center path in which you could see both polarities and saw how they both needed assistance.

The ones who are not willing to awaken cannot be helped, as this is a planet of free will. Hence, the “man” disappeared from the dream. The baby represented those who are newly awaking and need care and guidance to continue their journey. However, the ones who are awakening can suddenly bloom into full maturity and go from students to leaders in one flash of light. Those who are assisting the awakening ones, which was the YOU in the dream, then become the students of those whom they were assisting.

Therefore, you woke up from your dream with the knowing that it is time NOW to allow your own Lightbody to beam beyond the confines of your physical vessel. Those who have long been the vanguards for the awakening of humanity have had to stay hidden for so long, that the newly awakening ones often flash past them into Lightbody. There are two reasons for this. One is that the ones who have had to stay hidden in order to continue their growth have developed a habit of hiding, which can be quite difficult to break. The other reason is that “the first shall be the last,” which means that those who open the door are the last one to go through it.

This dream was meant for you personally, as well as for you to share with others to remind everyone that the time is NOW to flash into the fullest expression of your SELF. The energies of transmutation grow stronger every day as Gaia comes closer and closer to the full opening of the Portal into the Galactic Center. Furthermore, all of you most release your attachment to those who have chosen to remain third dimensional and allow them to fade from your life. This is not an issue of judgment, for you can only release this attachment with the force of your unconditional love.

It is actually more of a judgment to believe that it is your job to save everyone. Just because other’s Path is different from your own, does not mean that there is no Path for that person. Right now is the time for all the awakened ones to “be selfish” in that you need to FLASH into their FULL expression of SELF. This process may take you away from your service for a while, but just as you stopped everything—and forgot about the person in the first part of the dream—to take care of the awakening baby, you must focus NOW on your own process of returning to SELF.

Everyone is called upon at this time to put your expansion into Lightbody as the FIRST priority of your life. Once you have completed this process, you will have such increased Wisdom, Power and Love that no “time” will be lost. It has always been that the few will lead the many. However, if the few become too attached to leading the many, their own forward motion comes to a halt. Therefore, we say to you to OWN your true SELF in daily life, so that you can complete your own transformation. If this means that you don’t do as many good things for others, which is fine. Time is an illusion. The time that you take to take to care for your own newly forming Lightbody (the baby in the dream) will more than compensate for that which you must release in order to fulfill your awakening.

Your developing Lightbody is a baby now and needs your constant care. It will communicate with your telepathically and need you to “clean up your life.” Also, your relationship with food will become very different, for eventually you will eat light. Therefore, in preparation, you will eat very lightly and foods that contain light. Your growing Lightbody will tell you if the food you ate was too dense for you, often by making you feel ill or experience discomfort. Just as you had to administer to the baby in the dream, you now have to administer to your baby Lightbody. Just as in the dream, this is a difficult time because you are partly human and partly Lightbody.

In the dream, the baby flashed into Lightbody soon after you started to share your experience with others because sharing your process will greatly accelerate it. When you honestly speak about what is happening to you, you release and heal the old fear that has kept you hidden for myriad lifetimes, including your present one. Also, once you honestly share your process with others, they may feel more inclined to follow their own inner instruction and then to share their process with others, as well.

Morning Messages

Our Dearest Ones,

Yes, we do have a message for you today. We ask that you put it on your blog. We know that you have no idea what this message is, so we suggest that you relax into our transmission and allow the pen to flow to the rhythm of your consciousness

We wish to tell you ALL that we Arcturians are about to begin a very important transmutation to assist you to move into Lightbody. When we say “we are about to begin,” we mean that when the grounded ones are ready to receive our message, the transmission will begin for that person. We Arcturians are not bound by time/space, as we resonate to the NOW of the ONE. Hence, our transmission is much like a radio station that always transmits, but you only receive it when you turn on your radio and calibrate to our “station.” Therefore, whenever you can return to their fifth dimensional and beyond consciousness, even if it is only for a brief moment (remember we do not exist in time), you will receive your transmission of energy.

This energy that we are sending is going out on a constant beam for all those who can raise their resonance to “catch a ride.” This ride is much like your surfing. First you must go the ocean (take the time to be receptive), swim out into the water with your surfboard (meditate) pay close attention to the flow of the water (energy patterns), then stand on your surfboard (find your balance) so that you can catch a ride. Your ride (flow within our energy) will last as long as you can maintain your balance. The balance that we speak of is the balance between thought and emotion, right and left, up and down. In other words, your balance is found in the core of your High Heart, where you are most receptive to the flow of unconditional love.

Unconditional love is, unfortunately, a very unique energy in your third dimensional reality. Our channel has found that it is difficult for many of those to whom she speaks to even imagine the feel of unconditional love, much less accept it. We wish to perform a service to those who can align their consciousness with ours, to serve as an amplifier for the unconditional love that flows freely and constantly within the higher dimensional realities.

We know that many of our grounded ones can become frightened by unconditional love, for it is so unknown to them. And, humanities greatest fear is fear of the unknown. We wish to give this service now, for when Earth is in it’s direct alignment with the Galactic Center in 2012, the force of this unconditional love will be greatly amplified! This intense flow of unconditional love could be frightening to those who have never experienced it. An example of this is much like swimming the ocean with the waves. If you are accustomed to swimming in the ocean, it is a beautiful and glorious experience. The flow of the waves offers you more enjoyment for you have come to understand how they move. On the other hand, if you have never even seen the ocean, as millions have not, then the thought of entering it could be upsetting.

All you need do to accept our gift is to call to us directly. Even though you usually cannot perceive us, we see you very clearly. Then, allow yourself to get comfortable, close your eyes and breathe deeply. Breathe IN Peace and breathe OUT Calm. Do not “desire” our gift or put out any effort. If you can Surrender to the Knowing that we have a gift to share with you, you will best prepare your consciousness. With this exercise, not only will you gain a great healing, for unconditional love is the healing force of the Universe, but you will also be partaking in a Dress Rehearsal for 2012.

Beyond the Dress Rehearsal, will be an added benefit. Unconditional Love is not only the healing force of the Universe; it is also the creative force of the Universe. And, as we have said, right NOW you are ALL creating (pregnant with) your Lightbody. This “pregnancy” is of your fifth dimensional SELF. Therefore, it is beyond time and space. It is not the amount of time that signals your body to give birth to your Lightbody, it is the amount of unconditional love.

Just as a pregnant persons feeds the developing fetus with the food she takes into her body, YOU, males and females, are feeding your Lightbody fetus with the unconditional love that you take into your body. Just as there is a spectrum of time that activates the human fetus to begin labor, there is a spectrum of unconditional love that signals the Lightbody to begin its emanation beyond the boundaries of its womb of physical form.

Once the emanation of your Lightbody overlaps the boundaries of your physical earth vessel, it gradually becomes your primary vessel. Just as you will first live in the two worlds of the fifth dimensional Earth, as well as the third/fourth dimensional Earth, you will initially have a Lightbody (to perceive and intimately experience the fifth dimension and beyond), as well as a human body to experience and interact with third/fourth dimensional Earth.

Perhaps the most important benefit of the acceptance of our unconditional love, it is that love is the antidote to fear and unconditional love is the antidote to ALL fear. If you wish to have an image to more easily attune with us, visualize our consciousness (in whatever way you wish) surrounding the Portal to the Galactic Center. We are creating a way station there where we can receive the unconditional love from the Galactic Center, amplify its energy field, modulate and calibrate it to be more in resonance with our Earthly grounded ones, and relaying this specialized, amplified energy to those who have “opened the Portal to their High Hearts.”

Yes, we see you opening your High Hearts as we speak. In response, we send you infinite amounts of unconditional love.

The Arcturians

A Journey

Dear Readers,
I have made it through the darkness, for this time and again. I know from experience that we live a cycle in which we move our consciousness up into the higher frequencies (superconscious SELF), which then then calls us down into the lower frequencies (subconscious self). I have finished the lower cycle, after much delving into the cellar to clean it out. Now, i wish to share with you what has happened since.

First of all, gloriously, I re-entered the Flow. Then, suddenly the problems that had appeared so large become a mere distraction and of little importance. Therefore, i placed little attention on them, so they remained a possible difficulty which i have chosen to release from my awareness. In other words, I have remembered that i am living in the reality store, and i only have to "buy" the experiences the i want. Of course, there are times in our life when our Soul sends us a special "initiation/challenge" because we have grown strong enough to confront it.

However, for now i am in the Flow and enjoying it greatly. The "problems" about which i have worried have not come to pass. Things that i worried about are coming to a natural solution, and things that i desired and couldn't get are easily flowing into my life. Blessing to the ONE and thank you, thank you, thank you.

I also wanted to share with you what just happened this morning. I went onboard the Arcturian Star Ship. Of course, it was in my consciousness, but it was a wonderful experience. I also have come to a much deeper realization of my Galactic Being as an Arcturian, as the Arcturians surrounded me with their love. When i first entered the ship they asked me how i wanted to perceive it. I said i wanted to see it like a redwood forest, and instantly it was. Then, i asked to see it the way they saw it. Instantly, the light was so bright that i could not see a thing.

That is when they surrounded me with their forms to assist me in adjusting to their frequency. I had many realizations that i cannot translate into words. I suppose that over time i will translate the experience into English, but i wanted to share this moment with you. I also wanted to share how i now feel even more different from humanity than i have my whole life. I know that many of you have always felt different, and didn't know why. Now, i truly know why, which is because i am not really human.

I have lived in a human earth vessel for more lifetimes than i can count. Many of these lives i have remembered, some i don't want to remember--in fact, there are many i don't want to remember. And, there likely some that will come to my consciousness now that i have had this experience. I have to tell you that it takes a great deal of courage for me to share this with you. I have kept my true SELF a secret for so long that, even thought i have shared much, i fear sharing this final part. Well, fear may be too strong, but i guess i want to say that there is still a part of me that fears judgement.

It is because of this fear of judgement that i am writing this blog right now before i lose my nerve. I have shared my many human experiences on my websites, but i have also remembered many non-human memories. I am on the cusp of coming out of the coset for that now and writing them in my newsletters and site. As i do so, i just want everyone to know that you ALL have non-human, or rather non-earthling, lives. Therefore, i hope you can all stay with me as i "crack the next cosmic egg."

If any of you remember your "off-world" (that is off-Earth) realities, please feel free to share. I know it is difficult to do. You can also email me personally at suzancaroll@multidimensions.com. We are not "crazy," which was my fear. We are AWAKE!!

Have a great day,
sue

Morning Messages

Dear Ones,

Remember who you truly are. Remember your SELF. It is so easy for our grounded ones to forget their SELF. When they do, they become lost in the dramas of third dimensional life and function under the small, human perception of their total capacity.

We see our grounded ones awaken, fall asleep, awaken and fall asleep again. In fact, many of you are most awake when you go to sleep at night. It is then that you return to us so that we can hold you within the comfort of your true vibration.

We ask that you dedicate your schedule to come to us when you first awaken. Morning is time when our FEEL is closest to your memory. We realize that even then, the challenges of your third dimensional day can still force you into the illusion of “being human.”

However, if you can re-set your awareness back to your SELF at the beginning of your day, you can better recover from your daily “fall into illusion.” Then, on some days you will somehow stand your ground in the fifth dimension, so that you and catch yourself falling into illusion. Then, you can better remember to call out for assistance in the moment that you just begin to loose your balance in the ONE.

Now is an especially difficult time for our grounded ones as you take the excurses UP onto the superconsciousness of your Soul/SELF, the polarity of the third dimensional Earth naturally pulls you down into the deepest archives of the long hidden pain and conflict of your deepest subconscious.

The advantage of these missions into your subconscious is that they give you the ability to release the fear that created your illusions in the first place. Just as only a very experienced diver can travel down into the ocean’s murky depths, only our most awakened ones can clear their deep subconscious memories.

Therefore, even though you likely think that something is wrong with you because you are having so many experiences that pull you from your Center, these experiences are actually because you are now advanced enough and strong enough in your SELF that you can clear old issues that had to remain hidden until now.

Dear Ones, we commend you on your great bravery to continue into the Light when you know full well that it means you will also have to face all that has previously kept you in the darkness. You are mighty warriors battling and slaying old fears that were once dragons far more powerful than you.

Remember that we are with you always,

The Arcturians

note from sue: you will likely see this message in the May newsletter, but please read further as it will only be part of the total message. I share it with you now, as I am sure that many of you are on the same roller coaster that I am.

Awakening

Since I have started to verbally channel the Arcturians there have been many changes in my life. First, I have discovered that what goes up--goes down. In other words, as my consciousness has gone up enough to allow the Arcturian energy to run through my body, my consciousness then goes down into the deepest archives of my subconscious. I have gone to several healers lately because my body was having trouble integrating and absorbing the high frequency of the Arcturian messages. The answers, of course, lay way back in issues from my birth and early childhood. Early portions of my consciousness that have not been heard, have been revealed so that they can be recognized and loved free.

Not only have I had to heal my subconscious feelings of hurt and rejection, I have had to heal my liver, the organ that is the final resting place for our "wast materials.: Furthermore, I found that my garage, which is under my house has dry rot, which also needs to be healed. I have found many times that my house, computer or car will express what is happening in my consciousness. I am, also, one who wears every unexpressed emotion on my body. If the emotions are loving, people say, "Wow, you look great today." If the emotions are fearful, I get sick or injured.

I am sure that many of you are having similar situations, for as we awake, we become ONE with our environment. Whatever we hold in our consciousness is instantly displayed in our life. For example, in releasing control to the Arcturian Energy, I have uncovered many situations in my childhood in which I felt "out of control." This information is assisting me to heal the root, so the the flower of my SELF can come forward. We all have ways in which we are tied to the limitations of our third dimensional limitations, which need to be revealed and released in order for us to continue our transmutation into our fifth dimensional SELF.

When we call forth a higher initiation into the Light that we must go bravely into our inner darkness to allow the Light to enter where it is most needed. But, when we do so, we have amazing experiences that have been waiting, just beyond our old limitations. For example, I had a meditation while at my acupuncturist where I saw the minnie wormholes within my junk DNA and was shown how to disperse my molecules so that I could travel via thought.

We are living in many worlds at once now. Our inner child, the root of our early programing that needs to be updated, is coming forward at the same time that our Multidimensional SELF is guiding us more and more. Some days it seems as if we are trapped in old patterns that we know are over. On other days, we can see the fifth dimension just right there, in the corner of our eye, in the sky or in a sunset. Sometimes we cycle between two or three realities several times within one day. Yes, it is a lot to keep track of.

Meanwhile, we have to go to work, pay our bills, clean our house, feed our children, etc., etc... In other lives in which we ascended, we lived in Temples on the top of a remote mountain or in the deepest desert. All we needed to do was work on our spirituality. Now, we are needing to learn to be Masters of Energy in our daily life. But, we are learning!! Somehow we are ARE juggling the third, fourth and fifth dimensions along with our inner child and working adult. I was reminded this week, that I had forgotten to Follow the Flow. When I remembered to do that--to just relax into the Flow of the ONE and take it as it comes-- life got easier. Now I just have to remember the Flow when I forget again.

We are very brave to awaken in the midst of the third dimensional dream, and stay awake long enough to share our process with others. Right now, our experiences are unique. However, soon these experiences of awakening will be common, but many people will have no idea what is happening. That is when those of us who have "gone before," will be there to teach other what we have learned.

I spent most of my life hiding out in the person that was acceptable to others. Now, I want to encourage others to open up to anyone who will listen. To BE their SELF! It is difficult, I know. There are, of course, exceptions. If showing our true light frightens others, which it can easily do, then we may need to "mute"ourselves at bit. However, there are many more that show great relief to know that they are not alone in the experiences of awakening that they are having.

We are living in the most wonderful time imaginable. I am sure that many of you are remembering our past lives, alternate realities, your true SELF, as well as your Galactic Family. WE are not alone. We are ALL awakening. It is just that many of us don't know it yet.

I Had A Dream

I had a dream that I need to ask the Arcturians about, but there is a bit more to the story than that. I am away on a short trip with my husband and teenaged grandson. They are night owls and I operate with the Sun, or even before--meaning I am useless after 10pm and awake by 5:30 or 6:00. Those early hours are my favorite time as they are "ME" time. I get my hot tea and go into my office to light candles and incense, listen to music, read (usually spiritual stuff I got off the net), write and, most important, meditate. Well this is more challenging when it is pitch black in the early morning and i am trying not to wake up the males.

I made it into the bathroom to make my tea, pondering the dream, which i will explain shortly, when i reached across the tea pot to unplug it. It my sleepy self i put my bare arm right across the flow of steam and burned myself. At that point, i remembered some horrid story, which i will spare you, that i read in a book, probable 25 years ago. I then realized how many negative images, memories, stories and thoughts that are still buried deep in my subconscious. Since, i have been in health care and counseling for over 30 years, and worked with deprived children before that, there are many stories of pain inside my memory--not to mention my own memories.

Anyway, when i realized what is still stored in my memory banks, i remembered something the Arcturians have said to me, as well as to many others, which is, "Please give us your fear and pain. It is a speck to us and a wall to you. We can easily transmute it and return it to light." It was then that i thought to call upon them to take them myriad memories that i no longer need to carry. Of course, the room was still dark and i had to administer to my burn, so i sort of "lost the moment."

Finally, i set down, put on my ipod for some Beethoven and drank my tea as i drifted off with the piano, allowing the memories to leave--I think. Then, i decided to share this process with you, which i am now endeavoring to do. A small ray of light is coming through the slit in the heavy hotel curtain, which makes it easier to write this. I will begin with the dream, then allow the Arcturians to guide me in more releasing.

In the dream i lived in a huge house which was full of people, plants and animals. It was almost like a microcosm of Earth. I think i was in the kitchen, cooking and laughing with a good friend when i heard that a very important client was coming to my house for a session. However, this important person couldn't have anyone, person or animal, in the house during the appointment. Therefore, for some unknown reason, i went through this huge house and yard expelling all people and animals. I remember looking at the big yard filled with people and animals of all kinds, patiently waiting outside until they could re-enter their home. It was interesting because all the different kinds of people--from kitchen help (which, of course, i don't have) to best friends intermingled with the many different kinds of animals, also intermingling--predator and prey together.

At last, the moment came when the "very important person" arrived. She was a very neurotic and frightened women. Her entourage entered first, inspecting the house and making me change things. Then i woke up, wondering why i had put up with the demands of those people. Dear Arcturians, please assist me in understanding the meaning of the dream, as well as the experiences right after I had it.

Dearest Suzille,
We happily assist you. You are correct in that your "house" was representative of the planet. How long have the many been "put out" because of the needs of the "important" few? That situation is in the process of changing. Since your dream is not just about you, which is why you were led to make it public in this fashion, we will translate it with the reference point of "you" meaning "the many who took orders from the few." When you "took orders" to clear out your house, you did so without thought of whether or not it was fair or just. You were operating from a blind ambition of getting an important client, maybe more money, fame etc. etc.

However, you didn't even realize that was the motivation for your actions. It was this fact that disturbed you so when you awoke. In order for the members of Gaia, animal and human, to return to their true SELF, they will need to release the myriad lifetimes of blind obedience to the few who have been the rulers. (This goes for animal, as well as people.) All of the awakened ones are the rulers of their own lives, for they are the creators of their own lives. Not only did you follow orders without question, so did all your guests and animals. In New Earth no "orders" will be given, for the few who desire to rule the many will no longer exist. Each of you will be united and ONE with the many--human, animal, land, sea, sky, fire, planet, Solar System and Galaxy.

This dream, and what happened after, shows how you, that is all the awakening ones, will need to release ALL the old memories of pain, fear and blind suffering that was so prevalent in the Piscean Age. It is the Aquarian Age of unity with all life the ushers in New Earth. Therefore, we welcome ALL of you to release your many hidden memories of pain, fear, suffering and injustice to us, the Arcturians. All you need DO is set the intention of this release. You do NOT need to view these feelings and experiences to release them. You have locked them in the archives of your deep subconscious so that you would not have to ever experience them again.

To release them again, it is as simple as calling upon us t0 "delete" that file in your biological computer/brain. We will then scan your aura and earth vessel to clear the scar tissue created by those memories, all while you relax. If you wish, you may also come aboard our fifth dimensional Starship that is in the atmosphere of Earth, but a higher frequency. See yourself being "beamed up" and sitting in a chair in our healing center. Again, all you need do is relax and surrender this darkness to our unconditional love.

If you wish, you may also take a tour of our Ship. Just trust your imagination. If your experience is filled with our unconditional love, you are there. If not, then re-calibrate your consciousness until you feel our love. Then you can just relax into the experience. Many of you have been here in your dream body but don't remember. In fact, many of you actually serve on this Ship in a fifth dimensional vessel. Remember, our ones, you are a multidimensional beings and have myriad expression of your Soul/SELF.

We are ready for your call and hoping to receive you on our Ship.
The Arcturians

Dear Arcturians,
Please help me/us to understand how to better release impatience, fear and insecurity.

Dear One,
Impatience, fear and insecurity are the groundwork of third dimensional life. Our Earth ones must battle their impatience about being bound within the illusion of time. However, this struggle assists them to "crack the egg" and emerge as the Phoenix Bird. Fear in the third dimension is a common as the sky, and our grounded ones are courageous indeed in clearing out their fear with their every breath of unconditional love.

Finally, we address insecurity, which is the remnant of third dimensional thinking. Insecurity is the result of any belief in the illusion of separation and limitation. When our Ones in earthly form are in the consciousness of KNOWING, they are free of all illusion and live within the ONE of Unity with all life. While in this state of consciousness, they can, also, express their full creative powers.

We wish to bless ALL of you who volunteered to take a form during this planetary transition. We are grateful for your sacrifice of leaving the Light of the ONE to assist Gaia in Her time of need. Many of you are among those who answered Her call for help at the fall of Atlantis, when Earth nearly tipped off it's axis and into destruction.

You have incarnated on Earth again and again. Some of these times you were lost to the great darkness, and other times you were a small human trying to survive. Fortunately, sometimes you remembered to connect with the light of your SELF and offered great service to the civilization of that time.

Now, you ALL are awakening to your true Nature. We wish you to know that your Galactic Families have been watching, guiding and protecting you through out your many earthly sojourns. They are now preparing a place for you at their table and await your momentous return.

When you are fearful, impatience or insecure, please call to us or to other members of your Galactic Family. We are of a resonance which can easily withstand your fearful emotions and can easily transmute them back into unconditional love. Just call, and just as you helped Gaia, we shall now help you.

The Arcturians
and other members of your Galactic Family
