Life in the Higher Realms
Why Africa and How Can We Help
After we reached critical mass on the planet, it was then time for the light to take over, so to speak. The power was now in our court in a more "you can no longer tell me what to do" way. Up until then, darker and denser energies existed to ignite the light, or spur it on in order to create something different of a higher order. With the light fully in charge now, things will never be the same again. After fully integrating this next vibrational level we found ourselves in (as of May 2006), the planet was now ready for the creation of a very New Planet Earth.
Up until then, most of the energies and focus of the lightworkers was in transmuting the darker and denser energies through themselves, in order to raise the vibration of the planet. This enabled it to reach critical mass. In order for more light to arrive on the planet, and in order for the light to be accepted and embraced, a summoning has to occur. Experiencing discomfort and disenchantment with current Earth reality, and within ourselves, creates a summoning. A yearning for light greatly assists in bringing it here. With the planet repositioning itself in the universe, creating higher levels of light bombarding it, along with a summoning from the earth itself, a perfect convergence occurs and the vibration is raised.

Certain areas within the continent of Africa are summoning in great amounts. This area of the planet is a shining light and brilliant beacon now. It stands out so greatly for several reasons. In order for change to occur, summoning must get so great that it cannot be ignored. This state of crying out for the light is usually precipitated by great discomfort, anguish, and pain. Things will get as bad as they need to until a higher way is introduced. An intolerance of the darkness is what creates the light. This is why a polarity reality was part of the old 3D experience. In the higher realms, there is no polarity.
Parts of Africa are shining brightly because they are summoning at extreme levels. This is enabling a great amount of light to arrive. But another scenario is also present. With the advent of critical mass, the light is running the planet now. And on a higher vibrating planet with a higher consciousness, the atrocities that are occurring in Africa can no longer exist. It is time for them to end. This is why so much attention is now being focused there. A culmination of an immense convergence of darkness and light is about to take place.
The holocaust of World War II enabled us to look back and see things in hindsight. This horrendous event occurred because it was allowed to. I, myself, assumed that nothing like this would ever be allowed to happen again on this planet. But I was wrong. Genocide has occurred several more times on planet Earth. Currently, there is genocide occurring in Sudan and in Congo, among other areas. These things can no longer be tolerated and can no longer exist in our world and reality. It is time for them to end. This is our planet. We are global. We are all one.

So what about not meddling and interfering in another’s process and journey? How does this relate to what I am always saying about "interfering" and knowing that all is always in divine and perfect order? In a way, it does seem contradictory. But since reaching critical mass and no longer needing polarity, things have changed. Polarity has served its purpose. We have reached our goal. We are now embodying enough light to lessen the need for so much summoning. In the old 3D reality, there was much allowing in regard to free will and in regard to just about anything being allowed to occur on the earth. The earth was intended as a playground for experiencing and creating, and so, then, anything was allowed to be created. And as mentioned above, in a 3D dimension, darker energies exist to support and create the light.
But now it is time to define this planet of light as a planet of light. Viewing it energetically, it is a beautiful sight to see, as the light is now completely consuming any left over darker energies. These lower vibrating energies can no longer exist. A great tide has finally turned. The reign of the darkness is actually, and really, over. It is time to become greatly involved in creating the higher ways. New and higher ways of living will be introduced and created, and at the same time, any darker and denser energies will be lovingly, but forcibly removed. They will no longer be tolerated. They are no longer needed. Their purpose exists no more.
Although there are many areas on the planet that are summoning light and need our assistance, I have personally chosen Africa for several reasons. It is currently summoning the most light, and therefore will hold the most energy to create change, thereby affecting all other areas on the planet. Also, Africa has a great amount of New and higher energy emerging from beneath its surface. It is in the process of being restored to its original blueprint. Choosing one particular area of focus condenses the energy of focus, so to speak, while other areas are affected as well because of the shift in one particular area. If you are guided to become involved in humanitarian work, your heart will let you know what area you would be best suited for … it need not necessarily be Africa.
After much of the current darker and denser energies are removed, a massive rebuilding will occur. This is the time for us to step into action as well. This is when we can each apply our own special gifts and talents, and our own special contribution to creating a higher vibrating planet. We must rebuild in a higher way, or a cleansing will be needed again in certain areas of the planet. Cleansings and removal of lower vibrating energies are what creates the palette for the creation of the New World. It is a necessary phase of the ascension process. The areas that are being cleansed, will become the "hub" areas for the New World.
In regard to "rebuilding," know that your own special contribution through your passion is always perfect, no matter what it is. Not only will assistance be needed in regard to literally building structures (cob building? :), but anything to do with sustainability, landscaping, working in harmony with nature spirits, personal empowerment, along with the arts as well. The arts will become very pronounced in the New World. Any kind of entertainment and creativity will be greatly welcomed and needed. So no matter what you are guided to do that is of a higher order, it will fit right in, in some capacity. In this way, your special purpose and contribution can be used to create the New Planet Earth, not only in your own back yard, but in a humanitarian arena as well.

There are several atrocities occurring in Africa now, and therefore, several arenas where you can become involved if you choose this path. It is no longer appropriate to sit and meditate or to simply believe that personally holding the light is all that is necessary. Women and children are systematically being raped and tortured on a regular basis, used as sex slaves, and experiencing horror and violence beyond our comprehension. Very young children are having their limbs cut off! We must become involved at all levels in whatever arena we resonate with the most. You can very easily get a Ph.D in what is occurring in Africa through an internet search in just a day or two. If you would rather not, below is an explanation of what is basically occurring in certain areas of Africa along with ways that you can help. This is only a very brief touch on a few areas, as there are many more that are not mentioned here.

Darfur
Located in the western portion of Sudan, Darfur is perhaps currently receiving the most attention. Very generally speaking, the current government and its allies, the Janjaweed militia, are said to be responsible for carrying out atrocities upon black Africans. Although a peace agreement was signed in May of 2006 between the government and the rebel forces, not all forces have agreed to it. Thousands of refugees have fled their homes because of inflicted atrocities. It is very difficult to get aid to the areas where the refugee camps are located because of location, heavy rains, hold-ups with red tape, and so forth. In addition, the UN has not yet officially labeled these atrocities as "genocide," and therefore it is not then required to take legal action. But genocide is most certainly what is occurring.

Congo
Continually referred to as the world’s most neglected humanitarian hotspot, the Democratic Republic of Congo suffers from horrific crimes inflicted mainly upon its children, women, and the elderly. There have been 3.9 million deaths since 1998 due to war-related disease and hunger. 1,200 people die every day. There are at least 40,000 survivors of sexual and gender-based violence in Congo. Almost 1.7 million people were displaced at the end of 2005. There are 33,000 child soldiers currently active. Although the country’s five year war officially ended in 2003, there are so many remote areas in the east, that violence is still very prevalent. In addition, the transitional government is suffering from mismanagement and corruption.
Congo is scheduled for an election on July 30, 2006, the first in 45 years, and many are doing all they can to support this event, but with the country so vast, it is a huge task. In remote areas, roads barely exist, and those involved in the elections have to contend with militias and rebels which are still active and resisting the peace process.
Children are really suffering in Congo. They are being tortured, raped, mutilated, and exploited. This cannot continue. We must end the apathy and ignorance and become actively involved. Congo has an immense wealth of natural resources, just waiting to be acknowledged and utilized. It is truly a beautiful place on Earth.

In an article by Jeremy I. Levitt from the Chicago Sun-Times (June 12, 2006):
"Millions of Africans, including women and children, have been killed by deadly conflict in Sudan (2.5 million), Rwanda (1 million), Burundi (300,000), Liberia (250,000), Sierra Leone (75,000) and Uganda (40,000). Besides these huge fatalities, warfare also has affected democratization and human, social and economic development; has led to the breakdown of the rule of law, and allowed the catastrophic effects of the HIV/AIDS pandemic to wreak havoc on Africa's human architecture.
Today, African men, women and children are being massacred; sadistically and ritually tortured, and systematically raped. People's bodies are being disemboweled and body parts taken for fetishes or for ritualistic cannibalism. The perpetrators of beheadings have placed heads on sticks to line village streets.
The United Nations mission in Congo is the largest in the world, boasting nearly 16,700 military personnel from more than 50 countries, 17 of which are from Africa. Nevertheless, to be truly effective at restoring peace and security to the country, at least 3,000 more troops are needed along with hundreds of millions of dollars."

Liberia, Another Story
In November of 2005, Liberia elected a new president, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, Africa's first female head of state. After 14 years of civil war, this first democratically elected female president is bringing with her a tremendous amount of feminine energy. Devoted to creating peace and rebuilding Liberia, she has a huge task at hand, but so far, is making great progress. She is committed to re-connecting Liberia with the international community, empowering women, and ensuring that Liberia’s prior war lord, Charles Taylor, stands trial in Sierra Leone for his role in supporting the reign of terror campaign, and for his crimes against humanity.

Empowering and supporting women is certainly at the top on her list, as she has made it very clear that the common place rapes will have severe, swift, and certain consequences for their perpetrators. Crimes against women will not be tolerated in her country. Additional goals are to re-establish a free market and a democratic society, and so far, she is doing just that. A Harvard graduate, although born in Liberia and spending most of her life there, she has business and development experience that will greatly assist her in attracting foreign investment and getting Liberia back on its feet. This monumental task of rebuilding a country that for two decades was the battleground of greedy warlords and dictators, will be no small feat, but with the "Iron Lady" at the helm, I am personally convinced that success will be ensured.
I predict that Liberia will be a shining light as a blueprint and roadmap for African recovery. Liberia will hold the energy for a New way of being, and clearly show that changes are indeed possible.

There is no question that the situation in Africa is at a turning point. With all the attention it is receiving, and with more attention coming its way through your loving actions :), along with the pre-dominance of light now on the planet, just watch as things begin to rapidly change. Africa will eventually be restored, along with the rest of the planet, to its original and pristine blueprint of higher vibrating energy. As Africa changes in the physical reality, it will affect the rest of the world in a monumental way.
