<p>I&#8217;ve been thinking and writing a lot about Ascension recently because I&#8217;m in it and I think it is affecting more and more people.  Maybe you are one of those who are experiencing it, and maybe you will soon.</p>
<p>And if you think it is all rosy and fun, just more and more increasing joy . . . well, yes and no.  The no comes from  my ego that is still hanging around. . .   <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gaylon/168693177/" target="_blank">(Photo by Mr. Greenjeans)</a></p>
<h3><strong>What it&#8217;s like to just be</strong></h3>
<p>So many – the majority – of our motivations are based on fear.</p>
<ul>
<li>You work hard because – you love your work?  Or because you are afraid of losing your job?</li>
<li>You save money because – you already have enough?  Or because you are afraid of not having money at some time in the future?</li>
<li>You are with your spouse because – you love him or her?  Or because you are afraid of being alone?</li>
<li>You take care of your health because – you love yourself?  Or because you are afraid of being sick?</li>
<li>You say YES because &#8212; you love the idea?  Or because you are afraid of being rejected?</li>
</ul>
<p>The list goes on and on.</p>
<p>And I&#8217;m finding it harder and harder to identify with the fear part.  It&#8217;s not about criticism.  I just find it hard to relate.  Which leaves me in a strange unfamiliar place of little motivation.  It&#8217;s good, but feels very weird to be here.</p>
<ul>
<li>Work hard?  Why?  I love my work, so I&#8217;m happy to do it, thank you.  But at the same time, I have no desire to work long hours.  And I don&#8217;t need to, either.</li>
<li>Money?  Oh, I have some money.  Gratitude.  And I know – or at least I guess – I can make money as I go.</li>
<li>Romance?  Yeah, that&#8217;s great!  (I&#8217;m currently not seeing anyone, so this feels more like an expectation than choice.)</li>
<li>Health?  I&#8217;m in good health, and I&#8217;m grateful.</li>
<li>. . . faithful readers of this blog know I have no problem saying NO to anyone . . .  duh . . .</li>
</ul>
<p>So being is like being in emptiness.  I guess this is a temporary sentiment until my ego completely falls off.  For now, I&#8217;m grateful I don&#8217;t need to push myself for anything.  I am.  Thank you.</p>
<h3><strong>What no past life means to my business</strong></h3>
<p>Awhile ago, I was talking with my long-time client of Akashic Record Reading.  He had Ascension soul shift, and  said something interesting.</p>
<blockquote><p>“So I got a new soul.  Then the reading and clearing I did for my former soul was . . . for what?”</p></blockquote>
<p>I thought about this.  Because if more and more people are getting Ascension soul shift, maybe he is right, we don&#8217;t need to heal our energetic issues from past lives.  And if that is the case,<em> I&#8217;m ready to fold my shop.</em> I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;d do next, but I&#8217;ll figure it out.  I&#8217;m not going to do the service that is unnecessary.</p>
<p>Because I have some waiting list, I&#8217;ve had to think as I go.  And it turns out my business is turning to fit to the new energy pattern of the Earth anyway.  More and more clients are those who have had Ascension soul shift.  They come to me to understand what the heck have happened to them, and to let their former souls move on.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also learning from my Akashic Record Guides that some energetic issues, such as partial possessions, are best taken care of prior to Ascension soul shift.  I&#8217;m still not sure if this is the absolute requirement to have Ascension, but at least it is very desirable and promotes Ascension.</p>
<p>So looks like my service is still in need.  And I&#8217;m reviewing everything I do for potential update.  The big picture, the energy of Earth, is changing, so a thorough review of all I&#8217;ve been doing and offering is in need.</p>
<h3><strong>The glimpse of the New World</strong></h3>
<p>I think our current energy pattern is so lopsided due to the fear we have collectively.  When we drop these weird illusions and patterns, I think the world will see:</p>
<ul>
<li> Close to zero diseases and sickness, and therefore, little need for healthcare and healing (If you are in this industry, be prepared for eventual job loss)</li>
<li> Extreme change in economic system.  The majority of economic transactions will be done either in small local community by cash (think of farmer&#8217;s market) or globally through the internet with virtual payment system. Businesses in between, like Wal-Mart, that moves stuffs long distance unnecessarily, would go away.  A lot of financial systems that promote credits would follow.  (If you are in these industries, be prepared for eventual job loss)</li>
<li> The majority of “employments” will disappear, and most of us will be working for ourselves, doing what we love and be good at.  (If you are out of work, consider yourself to be having a head start.  The faster you figure out how to take care of yourself, the better.)</li>
<li> Fundamental change in marital system.  Marriage and traditional family will still be a choice, but only one choice of many options.</li>
</ul>
<p>Hmm.  Sounds good to me.  What do you think?</p>
<p>And today I&#8217;m grateful for the spring rain, the working computer and phone, my fresh carrot-apple-ginger juice, and cheesecake. (Sounds like the good and the evil of the food world are coexisting with me, huh?)</p>
