"Earth, the only planet with free choice in the Milky Way Galaxy"

“.. A billion years ago, they (Pleiadians) went through a change and they went through a shift, and they had free choice. Back then, they were the only planet that did in their time, and eventually they went through a metamorphosis of consciousness. ”

“.. So again, we tell you that the ones who came to help seed you approximately 100,000 to 200,000 Earth years ago were the Pleiadians who had gone into graduate status and who had changed consciousness. They had become quantum with free choice, and you have parts of their DNA within you. ..”

“..You're surrounded by divine beings who keep you safe and will continue while this planet of only free choice – the only one at the moment – makes its decision. You're turning the corner of consciousness and they all know it, for they've all been through it and they remember it. Oh dear ones, consciousness is volatile! You've seen it change so slowly, but it's about to change faster. It's not going to take generations and generations as in the past. Instead, you're going to see real-time changes. Humans won't wait to have children for them to grow up and have children. ..”




"The Quantum Factor" – Apr 10, 2011 (Kryon channeled by Lee Carroll) (Subjects: Galaxies, Universe, Intelligent design, Benevolent design, Aliens, Nikola Tesla (Quantum energy), Inter-Planetary Travel, DNA, Genes, Stem Cells, Cells, Rejuvenation, Shift of Human Consciousness, Spontaneous Remission, Religion, Dictators, Africa, China, Nuclear Power, Sustainable Development, Animals, Global Unity.. etc.) - (Text Version)

“.. In time, the quantum factor will be discovered on this planet. When it is, it will be highly controversial, and it's going to fly in the face of logic and 3D and the way things work via the scientific method. The ramp-up to all this is difficult. The old souls in front of me have signed on to work this new energy and they've waded through lifetimes, just waiting for this. What would you do as a scientist if the experiments before you had "a mind of their own"? What would you think if magnetics, gravity and light could only be assembled in a certain way that created healing and never a destructive alignment? All this is going to redefine some of the basic forces in the Universe. Intelligent design is only the first, and even today many astronomers and physicists still think it's an anomaly. 

That will be the next largest discovery on the planet. It's been held back from you because it takes a higher vibrating consciousness to create and understand it. When any planet discovers a quantum energy and is able to use it, you could go to that planet and know that you will meet high-consciousness entities. This has never been given to you before that, for within the quantum factor contains the secret of interplanetary travel using large, entangled states. There are ways of doing things you never thought could happen. You can throw away your rocket ships. You're on the edge of that.  ..”

“… And so, dear Human Being, you have the ability to start to return to an energy that you thought you'd lost, where Human beings are allowed to live longer and it doesn't destroy the environment. They don't overcrowd themselves because they can control it through their minds instead of laws... and through wisdom.

Some day you'll meet the star seeds, your Pleiadian sisters and brothers. They're even here now, since they are quantum. You've got Pleiadian ancestors who live a very, very long time in a graduate situation in a planet that went through the test just like yours. And it developed a quantum factor. They have benevolence and they have quantum energy. That's how they get here instantly and return, and they'll never interrupt your free choice. That's also why they don't land and say hello. Instead, they sit and cheer on the sidelines for what you've finally done. They are waiting with you to celebrate the December solstice of 2012... the half way point of the 36 year shift you are in. …”

Teen in remission from HIV 12 yrs after stopping meds: researchers

Vancouver (AFP) - A French teenager born with HIV has been in remission for 12 years after stopping her medication, a world-first that renews hope for the prospect of early treatment, researchers said Monday.

The young woman, now 18, is not considered cured, but is doing perfectly well off treatment, said the research led by Asier Saez-Cirion of the HIV, Inflammation and Persistence Unit at the Institut Pasteur in Paris.

Never before have scientists known of a case in which an HIV-infected child goes into long-term remission, said the research presented at the International AIDS Society meeting in this western Canadian city.

"We can detect HIV in the cells, but what we cannot detect is viral replication in the plasma," Saez-Cirion told AFP in an interview.

"We don't know yet why this girl was able to control the infection," he added.

The girl does not have the genetic factors associated with natural control of infection, which has been seen in a rare group of patients.

"Most likely she has been in virological remission for so long because she received a combination of antiretrovirals very soon after infection," said the report.

The young woman, whose identity was not revealed, was infected with HIV either in utero or during childbirth.

When she was five, her family dropped out of the treatment program for unknown reasons. When they returned her to medical care one year later, she "was found to have an undetectable viral load," said the report.

Doctors decided not to resume antiretroviral treatment for the child, but monitored her.

Researchers said the unconventional case bolsters growing evidence in adults that starting treatment is essential immediately after HIV infection.

Her case "suggests that long-term remission after early treatment is possible in children infected by HIV," said the report.

Single case

"This case is going to be inspiring for people living with HIV and working in the field," said scientist Sharon Lewin, who co-chaired a symposium earlier this week on finding a cure for HIV.

"My reservations are, it's a single case," Lewin told AFP.

"It's also uncertain whether the teen would have controlled (her HIV infection) without any treatment. We know one percent of people who become infected naturally control the virus and don't require treatment."

The girl's case may not be unique, but it is the first identified by researchers, said Saez-Cirion.

"I'm sure there will be others in the future," he said, noting there are still relatively few studies of children infected at birth who are now young adults and have been monitored for their entire lives.

Lewin cautioned that no one should become complacent about finding a cure in the face of growing evidence showing it is possible to treat HIV.

"The reality is there are still two million new infections and 1.5 million deaths a year from HIV and 35 million living with HIV," said Lewin.

"Whether we can really fund that, sustain and keep people in lifelong care is unclear."

Saez-Cirion said the findings offer direction for future research.

The case "shows that remission is possible, but rare. We need to understand why it's not common, and which mechanisms are (involved) so that we can treat a larger population."

"..  The Three Parts - More to Consider Than You Think

There are three parts to the brain of the Human Being, but you are only aware of two of them. We’re going to give you the third part tonight. The second brain of the Human Being, which is processed by the synaptical part (the brain box), is the pineal. This is responsible for creative thinking, intuition and intellectual awareness. Intuition is starting to grow with humanity, and it comes from that which is your innate inside the body. It's getting smarter and is passing more to your brain to process at a greater frequency and strength as you evolve. It also is starting to give you Akashic information (past-life remembrances). You might say your pineal ’net is getting faster, and your brain is processing it. You are feeling that you are becoming more intuitively aware of things.

The bridge between Human consciousness and the smart body, the innate, is starting to mature and grow up. You are getting out of pure survival mode and many are starting to awaken to a greater truth. This is all being enhanced in the Human Being to a point where Humans will think, "The brain is doing better!" It isn’t. The brain remains the brain and will process a better intuition from the pineal. The brain remains a stellar survival organ, but intuition is going to get stronger and stronger. Again, your spiritual Internet is getting faster.

In this very 3D energy, you only see the one organ that you feel is responsible for everything you do, but there are actually three. The evolved Human Being has the potential to create light [awareness energy]. I just gave you something we can study later – information that is new. There’s a perception of spirituality being white light. It’s everywhere. You’ve seen it everywhere. There is the story of Moses and the burning bush. This was a flame that did not consume itself, but if you could really see it in reality, it was a white light. For him, it was a higher consciousness than he had ever seen before, an angelic energy coming through his pineal, projecting to him.

When you have a near-death experience, you go to the light. This is more than metaphoric. You start to create something we will call divinity and mastery. White light coming from you is the higher consciousness you. The more your DNA efficiency is increased, the whiter the light gets. This is a metaphor, but there is truth often behind all mythology, and this is one of those. Dear ones, you are becoming more angelic when you start to understand the third part.

The Third Brain

We have told you before that there is a mystery going on that involves the Human heart. The Human heart, dear ones, is the third part of the brain. Science has never understood why the heart has such a tremendous magnetic field. It is actually larger than any other organ, including the brain with all of its synaptic activity. The heart overshadows it in so many ways, yet examination of the heart in a corporeal way will give information that is seemingly very ordinary. The heart simply pumps blood in a specific rhythm as sent by signals from the brain. Yet there is far more.

When we started, we gave you instructions to connect the dots, and here is your chance. When a spinal cord is severed in an accident, the heart continues pumping. Brain signals that supposedly control timing and rhythm are disconnected. The signals are gone, yet the heart keeps pumping. Not only that, but digestion continues, liver function continues, pancreas and others continue, even reproduction continues! All without the brain.

There is a third element of consciousness that is centered within the Human heart. You have identified the heart metaphorically as the symbol of love, and you’re right. These three parts to Human consciousness go way beyond the brain as an organ. It’s the trilogy of survival. It’s also represented by the three energy [in numerology] that you see everywhere in spiritual history. It's the three horses that pulled the ascension chariot, the Merkabah of Elijah. It's the trilogy Godhead of many churches [Father, Son, Holy Spirit]. In your body, it's the pineal [creator intuition], the brain [survival] and the heart [compassion].

The masters of this planet had all three working well, but in an older energy, you have not. In an older energy, you were only in survival mode. What is happening is that you are evolving, and the innate of the body is getting stronger. DNA is starting to become more efficient, and these parts are starting to finally connect. Dear ones, what separates a Human Being in survival from a master is intuitive compassion. Compassion is generated from the heart and it’s not a metaphor. It is part of the heart-brain.

There are things going on in this trilogy that you should understand. Connect the dots and start using science to find out and recognize that there are things that are not visible in any spectrum you can yet measure. But simply because you are blind to it at the moment doesn't mean it's not happening. You simply have not discovered everything yet, but the advancement in multidimensional physics will help. Listen, as new physics inventions come to you, you must involve biology, too! Don't separate the two sciences [as they are now]. You will have a far better idea of the truth of all of this when you can quantum-map emotion, thinking and Human behavior. It will show itself immediately.

The brain is responsible for facilitating [coordinating] all three of these parts, but be aware that the other two are doing a great deal of the work. Intuition and compassion will always seem to come directly from the brain, just like to the ancient when the magic came from the box. Connect yourself to a bigger picture, dear ones. The triad of Human consciousness is the beginning of the realization of mastery.

That’s all we want to tell you now. It's something for you to digest into your logic and spirituality, is it not? Think about it and ask your own intuition, "Is it true. Could it be that the Human brain is only a facilitator for something bigger?" This information starts to explain some measurements you never could explain before with conventional biological beliefs. It starts to explain why it is when a Human Being makes certain kinds of decisions, suddenly the brain seems to control the body better. Why is it that corporeal health can suddenly change, heal itself, ask for other kinds of foods, and have biological wisdom? What causes spontaneous remission? Dear ones, unless you were connected, you wouldn’t have any of this. Think: It isn't the brain that gave any of that to you. It was the brain that simply facilitated the connection from that little wire – the Creative Source, the white light.

There have been metaphors given tonight and things for you to examine, which also mean other things. It is the way that we begin the teaching of profound things. We will do it again and again, then elaborate on and on, and talk endlessly about it – all so that you will get it. It’s time you knew the grander picture of the triad, the trilogy of creation inside the Human Being.

I am Kryon, in love with humanity and for good reason.

And so it is.

Matthew message (Channelled by Suzanne Ward, Aug 12, 2014)

Matthew Ward - August 12, 2014

Matthew Ward
With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. Several of the numerous readers who are asking about the Ebola outbreak referred to it as the “Ebola scare”—and rightly so, as scare is one of the reasons the virus was recently released again. When it was developed in a laboratory by Illuminati scientists almost 40 years ago, the intentions were twofold: to create a pandemic and to instill in peoples the fear that accompanies a virulent, contagious disease.

We are not minimizing Ebola’s severity today by saying that it was indeed then a sickness to dread. It spread rapidly and claimed many lives before it was brought under control; and the outbreak resulted in rampant negativity due to the large death toll, grief, chaos and fear. Now, healthy persons who contract the disease and receive appropriate treatment can recover, and, just as happens with any serious illness, persons who die had weak immune systems before exposure to Ebola or their systems became severely stressed by the fatigue of caring for patients. This time around the Illuminati will not achieve anywhere near the measure of negativity intended, nor did their other relatively recent attempts to devastate Earth’s population produce it.

You may recall that only a few years ago SARS, avian flu, swine flu and its reissue as N1H1 happened in turn, with global publicity about “a feared pandemic” after the first diagnosis of each disease; and, ever so handily, vaccines were at the ready. The intense publicity and clamoring for vaccinations lasted only briefly because it became obvious that since only a few deaths occurred, no pandemic had befallen your world. Scientists in the light-worker ranks neutralized the viruses in the vaccines that were designed to spread, not prevent those diseases, and all were total failures insofar as achieving their purpose: eliminating billions of humankind whom Henry Kissinger, the peak of the Illuminati, referred to as “useless eaters.”

AIDS, which was developed in laboratories about five years after the Ebola virus, has been much more successful in the eyes of the Illuminati. Whereas symptoms are nearly immediate in Ebola and the more recent four diseases we mentioned, AIDS, which is spread partly by contact and partly by the so-called “treatment” for HIV, develops very slowly and is transmitted by apparently healthy individuals. Thus, ever since it was introduced into the population, it has been running its natural course throughout the years. In so doing, it has enabled the millions who succumbed to it and everyone who loved and cared for them to experience choices in their soul contracts.

Still, it is logical to wonder why that disease and the deadly Ebola siege mushroomed out of control and viruses developed much later for the same purpose didn’t. There are two reasons. The AIDs and Ebola viruses were fabricated and released before Gaia’s free will choice that her human population would not be eliminated en masse by any means whatsoever; in God’s granting her request, inspiration was given to lighted souls to doom the Illuminati’s plans. And, because there was much less light on the planet and within the populace 30-some years ago, bodies were more vulnerable to disease.

Possibly media focus on Ebola is behind the number of emails about other health issues, and we shall address those most frequently questioned. How can we know which symptoms are ascension-related and which aren’t; to what extent are GMO foods adversely affecting health; how much are toxins in chemtrails affecting us; what can we do to strengthen immune systems; what causes chronic low energy and fatigue; when will illness of all kinds disappear?

In all of those situations, the answer is light—the “one size fits all”—and we happily offer information that can be helpful in absorbing light. Always the purpose of our messages has been to offer enlightenment, guidance and encouragement during these transformative phases that the planet and all of her residents are going through; and especially in the prevailing vibrations, where “good” gets better and “bad” gets worse, proper care of yourselves in mind, body and spirit is vital! Sound health makes it easier for messages from the soul to reach the consciousness, and your souls are telling you to look beyond the illusion, to open your minds and hearts to the reality of who you are—this is what ascension is all about!

Now then, increasingly high energy levels on Earth are producing a variety of physical, mental or emotional anomalies such as achiness, mood swings, urgency to act upon impulses, nervousness, confusion, fatigue, forgetfulness, chest congestion, depression, nausea, rash, heartburn, constipation, diarrhea or general weakness. If one system of a body is weaker, or less fortified, than the others, that system is susceptible to whatever unsettling condition is most closely related. When those sensations or conditions are due to the heightened vibrations changing cellular structure from carbon-based to crystalline, healthy individuals quickly adjust and symptoms disappear until the next energy surge, which is followed by another rapid adjustment, and so on; and the more light in a body, the less noticeable the effects are.

Be mindful that the symptoms associated with ascension also can be indications of a developing health issue. If what you are experiencing persists or worsens, please consult healthcare specialists, preferably those you call “holistic” or “alternative,” who know that prescription drugs can exacerbate a condition whereas natural ingredients in proper doses have ameliorative effects.

There is another important factor here. To balance other lifetimes or complete unfinished karmic lessons, some souls choose a severe illness, chronic debilitating disease, deep depression or aberrant mental functioning. In such cases, even the most proficient medical specialists cannot successfully treat the condition and neither can energy workers. This doesn’t mean that the love-light energy the workers channel cannot reach ailing persons; it is that the soul is not permitting activation of their bodies’ self-healing mechanisms.

Everyone can send love-light to anyone, to people worldwide and to Earth herself, and the energy streamers reach the intended destinations because there is no separation one from another in the universal consciousness—that consciousness is the Oneness of All. And never will a physical, mental or emotional condition delay or deter personal ascension of an individual who lives in accordance with soul contract choices.

Moving on now, except for grain that is designed for one crop only—this is based in greed and is negativity-laden—genetically modified foods are widely considered to be much more harmful than they actually are. Repeated publicity about any situation results in widespread belief, and whatever individuals believe is their reality. Therefore, the belief that GMO foods are harmful produces whatever ill effects consumers attribute to them; but it is the chemicals in processed foods, fertilizers, herbicides and pharmaceuticals, and the steroids and antibiotics fed to animals in the food chain that are hazardous to your health.

The most light-filled foods are fruits and vegetables, and if the cost is affordable, eat organically grown produce; choose meat from animals certified to be free of additives and sea food naturally grown or properly cultivated. If costs are prohibitive, please do not have negative thoughts about what you are eating instead! In diet, as in all other issues, positive thoughts are powerful and so is the light in gratitude—feel thankful for your food, ask that it serve your highest good, and believe that it is!

Eventually your soil, air and water will be pure again and food’s lost nutrients will be restored. Bodies’ crystalline cellular structure will thrive on fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains; meat and seafood no longer will be palatable; food allergies will disappear and so will today’s prolific chemicals.

Although toxins from all sources adversely affect health, bodies’ self-healing mechanisms resist or reduce the most harmful effects when immune systems function optimally. Light is essential to maintain that degree of immunity, and the best way to absorb light is positive thoughts and feelings. In that respect, please remember and feel grateful that crews in spacecraft are using their technologies to neutralize or reduce as much as possible the toxins in chemtrails, radioactive elements and all other pollutants in your earth, skies and waters.

Light absorption comes more naturally to persons whose lifestyle is balanced. Along with heeding recommendations of your healthcare specialists and nutritionists, these additional suggestions will assist in acquiring or regaining balance: Spend as much time as you can in tranquil solitude and enjoying Nature. Nurture your talents and allow artistic expressions to flow. Be kind to all persons and animals and react calmly to unpleasant surprises and confrontations. Choose light-hearted reading and other entertainment and listen to melodious music. Smile and laugh often! Monatomic gold, perhaps best known for enhancing brain function and spiritual clarity, also strengthens immune systems.

Chronically low energy and fatigue is not ascension-related insofar as indicating whether a person is living in godly ways; it does mean, however, that the body is seriously light-deficient. The lack may stem from one or more undiagnosed health conditions—perhaps the onset of an illness or debilitating disease, metabolic or hormonal imbalance, dehydration or severe food allergies. Intense worrying can keep energy levels low. Prolonged exposure to emissions from computers, TVs and cell phones; chemicals in prescription drugs; a diet lacking in nutritious foods; and effects of pollutants are other possibilities.

Any one of more of those potential reasons for fatigue and low energy may be in addition to—or more likely, caused by emotions bereft of light. Whether deeply suppressed or vehemently expressed, feelings such as fear, anger, resentment, guilt, remorse, bitterness and jealously drain energy; and a common drain is unbalanced relationships—the “low energy” person’s emotional system is dominantly feminine and the other’s dominantly masculine. This has nothing whatsoever to do with gender, only with the energy make-up of the person, and the unbalanced relationship can be between lifetime partners, siblings, parent and child, employer and employee, neighbors, friends, business co-owners, teammates—two individuals in any relationship that entails frequent close contact.

Keeping in mind that energy is light and light is the body’s life force, the person with masculine energy is draining the very life of the person whose energy is feminine. When such an arrangement is karmic, rarely is it lifelong. The lesson is complete when the “fatigued” individual takes steps to remedy the relationship or leaves it. If that person does neither and things continue as they were, your expression “He—or she—will be the death of me” wouldn’t be far from the truth.

Some soul contracts include a parting of the ways so that both individuals can experience life lessons with other people. This often pertains to partners who have children—all in the family chose to gain the learning offered by the parents’ lopsided relationship. Other contracts call for both individuals to acknowledge the need to improve their relationship and the desire to make appropriate changes to achieve that. However, because no one knows what is in her or his contract, the soul gives strong messages that can be likened to enormous arrows pointing in the direction of chosen experiencing. But free will reigns supreme and, just as in all other situations, persons in imbalanced relationships have the choice to ignore the soul’s guidance—when they do, other lifetimes will offer more opportunities to “look and learn.”

Illness across the board isn’t going to disappear until the population has absorbed enough light to believe that it can be disease-free—belief creates the reality. This pertains as well to rejuvenating faulty organs and growing missing limbs—regeneration and restoration won’t happen in one fell swoop because those processes also require belief.

People who unquestioningly believe they can recover from paralysis or their heart will function perfectly without a pacemaker, for example, will manage those accomplishments sooner than individuals whose belief wavers and much sooner than those who doubt they have any capability in those respects. It’s a matter of how much light has permeated mind, body and spirit; and at this moment, most in your world don’t think that something as “magical” as replacing dentures with actual new teeth is even a possibility.

Someday everyone in your world will know not only how magnificently-designed your bodies are, but what magnificently powerful souls you are! Beloved sisters and brothers, we are eager to see you discover your innate knowledge and abilities and take your rightful place in our universal family as the multidimensional souls you are.

LOVE and PEACE

Namibia HIV women sue over forced sterilisation

BBC News, Tuesday, 1 June 2010 11:32 UK

Solidarity marches are also planned in Zambia, South Africa, the UK and US

Three women in Namibia are suing the state for allegedly being sterilised without their informed consent after being diagnosed as HIV positive.

The women say the doctors and nurses should have informed them properly about what was happening.

The rights group representing them, the Legal Assistance Centre, says it has documented 15 cases of alleged HIV sterilisation in hospitals since 2008.

A march in their support is taking place in Windhoek as the case begins.

The BBC's Frauke Jensen in the capital, Windhoek, says there will also be a sit-in protest at one of the hospitals where the alleged sterilisations took place.

'Equality for all'

The women want 1m Namibian dollars ($130,000, £90,000) in compensation from the health ministry.

So far the ministry has not commented on the case, our correspondent says.

The Legal Assistance Centre (LAC) says the High Court has granted that the women's identities should not be revealed as they fear "further discrimination and stigmatisation because of their HIV status".

"We want a health system based on human rights which promotes equality for all," the LAC's Amon Ngavetene told the BBC News website.

He explained that when HIV-positive women go to hospital they are sometimes, at the discretion of the doctors, advised to undergo a sterilisation operation.

Mr Ngavetene said these women are not always given a clear idea of what the procedure involves and dangerous pre-existing conditions are not always taken into account.

There may also be a language barrier in a country where there are 11 indigenous languages, he said.

As well as the march in Windhoek, other solidarity marches are planned on Tuesday in South Africa, Zambia, the UK and the US.
