New abundance cannot be drawn into our lives until we gratefully recognize the abundance that already exists for us, but then what about the impoverished man sitting in a prison cell or the beggar who watches the masses pass by his street corner? Where then is their wealth? Wealth comes in different forms. The man in his cell is wealthy in time. His upkeep is paid for by society. He can educate himself. His basic needs are provided for. The corporate president has his needs provided for as well, but he is impoverished in time and his relationships may suffer in consequence. His burdens and responsibilities are great, and he may become so enslaved by his work that he becomes a stranger to his heart's desires. Who then is more impoverished?
Look at the relationships and joys of your life when you assess your abundance. No one is impoverished who has access to nature and the wealth of natural beauty it provides. We take for granted the amenities that bring ease to our lives, yet in many countries they are utter luxuries. Having a television or washing machine could be a contribution to our lives if we use the time they save us to fulfill the desires of our hearts. If we use that time to earn more money to buy more gadgets, we are no more abundant than before. In places where there are few or no televisions, the abundant resources of inter-generational communication can flourish. Where the oral traditions are passed on from the elders to the young, the support of the family is abundant. Barter systems help everyone's gifts find value in rural communities, where the handiwork of all can be a contribution to the tribe or family.

So many similarities bring people together at the same time in the same place. One unique thread we see that brings this gathering together is that each one of you—and we have never seen so many in one group—are on the precipice of evolution. The energies are preparing people for it.
Another thread we observe in this gathering is that you have lines of incarnation in common. You share similar awakenings to your heritage as philosophical and religious trustees of one of two incarnating factions. Many of you are experiencing the energies that you get from your Egyptian incarnation; in fact, many of you are getting messages now from your guides and teachers. The rest of you at the moment are, via your guides and your teachers, feeling your aboriginal incarnations. By "aboriginal" we mean those who are originally native to this land, whom you would call American Indians. This energy is very much alive.
Greetings, dear ones, I am Kryon of Magnetic Service. I've said that before, right here within the energy of this building, but there's always a complement of Humanity who does not want to believe this [a channeled message]. Even this day, there will be those who would sit before me as old souls, as ones that I know, and they will cross their arms and say, "It is the Human being pretending to channel." They do not want to think that this might be real. Yet next to them will be one who for years has been able to see the colors and who can experience the attributes of interdimensionality. It's interesting how there can be two Humans, side by side—one in full disagreement with what is taking place and the other one being healed.
So what does that tell you? It indicates that you are free, completely free to absorb or not the energies that are placed before you. This is the way of it, and there will be no effort tonight on my part to convince the one who does not want to be convinced. I am here with information. I am here with love, and I am here for those who wish to enjoy this energy. Awakening is a very personal experience. You are honored, each old soul here, regardless of whether you believe this channeling is real or not. All are equally honored and loved by God. Feel this if you will. Some will walk out today having believed none of it. It doesn't matter, for the love is here anyway.
Let me tell you something, unbeliever, that I want you to think about. You may not believe that what is taking place on this stage at the moment is real. My partner takes a back seat to me. He's not in trance. He's listening when he lets me have the microphone and I use his personality, his knowledge, his language, his intellect and his akashic experience. I use the Human vehicle, and through these years, the pipeline that he has developed with me has increased in its purity and in its integrity, and it has opened up even more. Now I can speak to you in ways I could not twenty years ago. Yet you still may not believe it.
A dear friend of mine has been stricken with panic since reading a dire warning about devastating earthquakes that are due to strike California. Another friend sent me an email about the U.S. economy collapsing completely and resulting in hunger, violence and so on. Apparently, a "prophet" dreamed that it would be so and decided to post it on facebook. Needless to say, the predicted date passed without incident, but not before spreading fear like a wildfire. It amazes me that there are so many doomsday predictions and that people are taking them seriously. Where is our common sense?
Common sense would be more common if people actually shared the senses that they have in common with one another, including intuitive abilities, telepathic sequencing, intellectual, reasoning faculties and collective consciousness. All of these are based upon humanity's natural understanding of itself. Common sense is the actual area in which all of the senses come together. This sense data is then processed and immediately made available to the individual, whose perception fulfills the next function. Individuals have different common sense based upon what their own personal and social experiences have shown them. Once all of the various sensations have been categorized, they are ready to be passed on to the group or collective consciousness. Currently, the term "common sense" refers to beliefs or propositions that most people would consider prudent and sound without reliance on esoteric knowledge, study or research. So why do so many people take doomsday predictions seriously?
The simple truth is that humanity believes in the possibility of its own extinction. It has witnessed and even participated in the extinction of other Earth life forms and has studied a variety of probable theories for the extinction of some of its own ancestors. Your holy books suggest that both natural and unnatural forces have or have had power over you and that you must struggle to make your way in life. Scripture common to a variety of religions also tells of celestial beings who work tirelessly on your behalf, defending and upholding your will in this life and beyond. Humans are the only beings on Earth who know that they will die, and you have come to expect that disease, old age or an unforeseen catastrophe will one day take you elsewhere. As this is a time of unprecedented change, it is not surprising that you are searching for precautions and preparations.
Beloved students, welcome to 2010, a year that I think you will find holds the capacity for many shifts and changes. Movement is likely at all levels this year, and I hope each of you will make the most of the options that come your way. May you have a great year, and may your spiritual growth take off like a rocket!
While reflecting upon the mystery of the year that has just passed, it is important to recall that whatever begins, must come to an end. Likewise, whatever ends, gives way to a new beginning. This is not only true at the turn of every new year, but it is also true for the various phases of your life, your relationships, your jobs and hobbies and even the way in which you see yourself. All parts of the phenomenal world exist only to change. With each change, something dies and something is birthed.
Greetings, dear ones. This is Merlin. Well, my dears, it's a great pleasure to be speaking with you during the first month of the year 2010, and what a glorious year this will be. You see, it's all about you! You have that phrase, don't you? This year, more than any other preceding time, you are being called to be so very real with yourselves, to cast aside the past ways that are no longer working for you and to refuse to say yes when you want to say no and vice versa. You are being called to reflect upon your true desires, your dreams and your intent for this journey, and it is in your very best interest to do all of these things. Why? Well, the truth is that you don't want to suffer. You have had enough of survival. Many of you have said that you've had enough but are still trapped within the cause-and-effect cycles that promote difficulties—and more so, deep inner sadness. Well, that's not a crime. You're not bad. You haven't failed. You are, however, ready to shift and change.
Step by Step on Your Spiritual Journey
You might be saying that you've tried everything and that you are still stuck. And to you, though I am most fond of you, I say, "Bosh!" You haven't tried everything. What you have tried is the external manipulation of your external world. You have tried to think differently—a good beginning, but barely putting your toe in the water. What can you do? Well, you've heard it all before, but that's just it; you have heard it, you have read it and you have even studied it, but you haven't really gone within your own self and proceeded with the next step in your evolutionary spiritual journey. What is that next step?
Greetings. This is Zoosh. Now, I'm going to give a little update about ET and UFO activity and what isn't.
A Message for Some Rarified Circles
Starting in the past few years and really picking up steam now in the latter part of 2009 (and this will pick up considerably more velocity over the next few years) is a combination of greed and only slightly—one might think it was more than that—disinformation. What's going on is not only a nervousness in some rarified circles that the spiritual transformation on Earth will lead to their downfall (which is not true) but also that their way of life is threatened. To a degree, that's true if you factor in only money and wealth, but if one considers that friends, and really friends that seem more like family—old friends, people you feel completely at ease with and who feel at ease with you; such comforts are not always known in those rarified circles—if you consider that to also be wealth, then, to a degree, it is merely a transformation: a redistribution of what isn't so important, when that time comes, to what is oh so important and how much it's been missed. So there's that message to those circles.
Ascension is part of your life now. It is the perfection of your journey—the outcome of alchemy, signature cell healing and the ten principles of consciously creating. I've spent years on this dimension bringing you information that would help you with this journey of ascension. Now it's time to get down to the nitty-gritty of what ascension means, what it involves. What do you want to get from this particular event? Do you want to know what it takes for you to ascend? It takes the courage to ask the hard questions, questions that will help you determine the answers for yourself. You see, you couldn't form the question without knowing the answer, and ascension will give you access to your knowing, to your awareness.
Ascension is powerful. The ascension process involves peeling off the veils so that you can remember that you have the answers to all of your questions. You will get through this great shift, whether it takes two years, five years or just five days. Your life is in your own hands. So if you have questions for me, ask them from your guidance—guides, angels, elven beings and other beautiful beings of light. Those energies want to hear what I have to say, and the questions they give you will be tailored with clarity and specificity to elicit the perfect answer. You'll say, "My God, where did that come from?" In this opening statement, I have been speaking to your cellular consciousness, because I believe the ascension is closer than you think and I want to awaken that deeper part of your consciousness now. You don't have to wait until 2012 or any other date to ascend into the fourth light. So ask powerful questions. I have the responses that will help you get your own answers.
Happy Holiday! During these times, be sure, as you're out and about attending parties, reunions, football games and returning gifts to stores, to remember to request most benevolent outcomes (MBOs) for your driving and for the safety of yourself, your family and your valuables during this exciting time. For example, you can say, "I request a most benevolent outcome for the continued safety of those valuables I'm leaving in my car while I'm away, thank you!” If you are in crowded places that are known to have pickpockets and purse thieves, you can say, "I request a most benevolent outcome for my safety and the safety of my possessions during this time, thank you!” This will lower the stress and fear factor you might otherwise have had you not requested these MBOs. Now for some great MBO stories and questions.
Requesting MBOs Verbally
Shirley writes: "Doreen Virtue says you don't have to pray out loud, that you can indeed say prayers in silence because your guardian angel will still hear them. But you mention they can only hear them if you say the words out loud or write them down, due to the fact that we are in the physical world. It just seems contradictory to me, that's all. Who is right? Or are some of us evolving to where our thoughts are heard by the angels anyway? I had to write to ask because it is causing me distress, as I have read a lot of books by Doreen Virtues, and I often feel more comfortable talking to angels, God or whatever it is in silence"
