It’s been a while since my last post and a good place to restart my blog is by examining how far we’ve come since a few short years ago, and indeed even how far we’ve come since the December 21, 2012 Solstice just six months ago. (I’ve been busy with one daughter graduating from high school, another daughter flying to Germany for a few weeks, as well as getting some necessary home repairs done, amongst other things.) The Great Shift in Consciousness is indeed upon us. The following are just a few top ideas that show our progress regarding our understanding of the Great Shift.
1. Your transformation is not going to be automatic, but requires your individual, active and diligent participation.
I remember emailing a draft of my eBook Activating 2012: A Practical Guide to an acquaintance who was a life coach and active in the spiritual community and receiving not the best feedback from her. In fact I sensed she was somewhat upset with what I claimed in my manuscript. She had taken issue with my assertion that the Great Shift that we’ve been all waiting for would not be automatic but would require our individual work and effort. Real work and real effort, I emphasized. “But what about the photons that are bombarding us from Galactic Center that will transform our DNA?” she insisted.
Well, of course there was greater Light (consciousness, insight, etc.) coming from “the heavens” that would transform our inner essence but we had to tap into that consciousness through meditation and then to act on (to test) that consciousness by seeing what happened (the results) after that consciousness was actually applied. Real learning and real understanding is realized only after we apply our knowledge (i.e. test the theories).
I would propose that today, few people believe that the process of individual or societal transformation is automatic but that it requires diligent and right effort on the part of individuals (some of which turns into “grass-root” efforts). Furthermore, no one will be able to gloss over fulfilling their own individual contribution toward this Great Shift. (This was not a popular position to hold a few years ago, but it’s increasingly accepted these days…)
2. The Galactic Federation is not coming to save us. No one is coming to save us. We will save ourselves by following through with our inner guidance as opposed to just going along with the crowd, the status quo.
I don’t think very many people believe anymore that our space brothers and sisters will come to our rescue. In fact, I would think that people are more open to the idea that we are doing a huge service for our space brothers and sisters, by attempting to work out the most difficult problems of the Universe through our work here on this planet.
Well, I do hear some people still believe that of course they won’t do it FOR US, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t work TOGETHER with us. But they’re just fooling themselves, because our guides are ALREADY working together with us (and have been for ages), by already guiding us. We just need to listen and follow through with the guidance, and to see what happens as a result of our efforts.
I remember receiving emails from more than a few disappointed souls, who actually believed that some savior or saviors (in the form of a Messiah, or the Galactic Federation) would come to this planet to finally make things right here. (When in reality, what will make things right is you as an individual listening within and following through with your inner guidance.) Yes, we’ve certainly come a long ways with regard to these beliefs.
So when do I think they will finally come? My understanding (which came to me after some eye-opening personal experiences that I share in my book, What Everyone Believed: A Memoir of Intuition and Awakening) is that they will come when we no longer need them to. Which means there’s no good reason to wait for anything or anyone anymore. It’s high time to connect to your inner being, your higher self, and to follow through with your inner guidance.
3. We are making real progress; the tides are shifting. The “north pole” of the planet is shifting toward greater awareness and consciousness (greater “Light”) and we have passed the “tipping point” of December 21, 2012. “All” we have to do now is to act on our inner guidance and we will succeed.
I have communicated in the past that the Great Shift will happen (relatively) very fast for us because there’s so much useful information and tips available to us at the press of a button, i.e. via an internet connection from one of the many internet providers out there (which was not true in the past).
For example, in May of this year Portland, Oregon voters rejected fluoridating their water, despite a 3-to-1 advantage in money spent by the pro-fluoride groups.This was the fourth time Portland residents were asked to vote on this issue since the 1950s.
Individual and grass-roots efforts will win because when properly informed and aware, the vast majority of the public will do the right thing. Awareness is also spreading, even in the mainstream news, about the truth of GMO foods and the problems associated with the consumption of our highly-hybridized wheat. CBS recently aired an interview with Dr. William Davis, MD, a cardiologist who called modern wheat a “perfect, chronic poison.” (And of course I’m much more apt to see things this way after what I personally experienced experimenting with avoiding wheat for a couple of years now….)
So, where are you being led? What issues are you being guided to work on? I can assure you this: The faster you connect with that inner guidance and muster up the courage to follow through, the faster your world will transform and the faster the outer world will transform. Things are going in the right direction, but the actual speed of change, how fast your life transforms for the positive, is totally up to you. I don’t know about you, but to me this is most obvious.

Dear Christine,
Thank you. Indeed we are our own gurus…and gods…and light beings. YAY!
Blessings and Sparkles,
Brenda
Thanks Brenda! Yes, it just requires a bit of a change in consciousness and attitude, and perhaps for some people an example here and there. Simple, but not that easy.
Love,
Christine
I am just a beginner in this understanding of the shift and only discovered it by accident around the middle of 2012. I do understand all the concepts, but I have never tried meditation. However, I firmly believe in the Inner Self also as a part (correct me if I am wrong) of the Great Universal Being. I give Thanks every morning now on awakening and before retiring. I (because of past unexplained experiences) firmly believe in the existence of (Guides/Angels) and thoughts impressed upon me for by better existence/action as soundless voices speaking to me. I do ask for further advice from more experienced people like yourself and give Thanks in advance for such Guidance.
Thanks for your input Hubert! Yes, we do receive guidance in the form of dreams, thoughts that come into your consciousness, and soundless voices. There’s guidance from your higher self and guidance from spirit guides / angels. I think the guidance from your higher self sounds like you (and this is most of the guidance I have been receiving). I am not sure about guidance from spirit guides (whether it sounds or feels any different). I will pay attention to this in the coming time and see… Maybe someone reading this blog has experience with this and can provide more insight.
And you are right, the Inner Self is a part of God / Great Universal Being. In fact it is a fragment of God / Great Universal Being.
Thanks for commenting!

Hello Christine How are you? I have been thinking about you and that it had been a while since you have got in touch with your post and then you send this, and it is the same with other things that i think about,,like the two hedgehogs that were in my garden last year i was thinking about a couple of days ago and they have turned up tonight with their unmistakable mating noises hahaha. So i am having a lot of synchronicities and also the time is going by so fast it is shocking :–) anyway Christine nice to hear from you,take care x
Thanks for stopping by Selina! I have had a very busy several weeks and lots of things that came up that had to be taken care of, including a clogged kitchen sink which then flooded the dishwasher. But all is fixed and I am feeling good now and ready to go full speed ahead! Nice to hear from you and take care!
Christine
I had a very bad breakup last year. So bad I feel like it changed me. I am making progress towards a better life for myself, but I have felt so weary since then. I find it difficult to medidate or sleep because of this. I find that, even though I feel closed off inside, events outside seem to know I need a helping hand. It’s been very hard to stay positive, but I have been working on the Law of Attraction for myself. I have been receiving real short-term results and I am very thankful for this. It gives me what I need to keep moving in the right direction.
Thank you for sharing your story Toni. Taking better care of yourself and loving yourself by doing things that are good for you, like perhaps a nice bath or a foot soak, or a hike in nature, or a drive in the country, taking action and doing something nice for yourself every day is very helpful. I’m not sure what people mean exactly when they say they’re “working on the Law of Attraction” but I know that doing something loving for yourself every day will move you forward in the right direction fast. Thanks for stopping by this blog!
Love to you,
Christine
Also, I had “The Magician” show up 3 times one day recently. First, I watched a movie about magicians. Second, I took out my tarot deck and The Magician fell out upright, not reversed. Lastly, it came up again as the culmination of a reading I did on myself on my near future. I was wondering if you or someone you know might tell me your take on this. I feel it is a very positive sign from what I’ve read and what friends have told me.
Hi again Toni, I am not sure what the Tarot meaning of the magician is, but to have it show up 3 times in one day means the Universe is giving you a sign. You might just need to notice it, or sometimes it means there’s an action to take (you would know, it depends on the sign).
Take care,
Christine
Hi Toni, make sure to read Selina’s interpretation of the Magician card. It sounds wonderfully positive!
Love,
Christine
Christine, Three years ago, I had an experience that has forever changed me. I suffered a brain anyurism (sp?) that could have ended my life. As I began to feel the effects of it, I heard a “voice” say; “this is an anyurism”. It was calm, soothing and very matter-of-fact. Thanking the Gods now that I listened to that voice and had my son call an ambulance for me!
Since then, I have recovered completely, with no lingering effects!
Naturally, an event like this leaves you wondering about many things: who/what was that “voice”? Why was I saved? What is my purpose?
My religious affiliation is Wicca. We have always believed in the connection of EVERYTHING on Gaia. We are part of a greater Circle that is much bigger than we can grasp. I find myself drawn to the Earth more and more. I live in the inner city, but have beautiful gardens (edible and others!) that I am now seeing, feed other souls besides mine. Sometimes I wonder if that is enough, if there is something more I should be doing to help others awaken.
I am beginning to use meditation so that I can hear those inner voices that I know are out there. Each day, I awaken with Thanks for this Life, and at the end of the day I give thanks as well. Each person that I see, I work at reminding myself that they too are Souls searching – just as I am. We ALL MATTER!
I’ve also learned that my biggest lesson in this life is about Judgment. I tend to think that “she should do that” , or “why doesn’t he do it like this?” I am getting better at not passing judgment, and just letting it be as it is. When I do let go of that judgment, I find myself more at Peace!
Thank you so much for your wise words! As much as I would like to believe that we are going to be “saved”, in my Heart, I know that fixing our future is up to each one of us, moving in the direction we are called, that will finally bring about the World we ALL wish to see! Namaste’ my Friend!
Hi Grace and thank you so much for your inspirational story! If you are wondering whether you can do more, than there is more that you can do! I would pay attention to what feels inspiring, what I come across when I’m led to go here or there, what project feels exciting to me. Then I would spend time working on that project and see where that leads.
Perhaps you can even share in detail your story of your aneurysm. There are many who would benefit from hearing about it, such a positive outcome. Perhaps you can even write about your experiences with Wicca.
Re: passing judgment, perhaps you could share your experience and / or advice with the person who you think you are “judging.” I’d first ask them if they’d like to hear my experience and my take on things (this way you wouldn’t be judging but sharing), and then I’d share my story and my perspective.
Thank you anyway for your wise words and for stopping by here!
Love,
Christine
Toni, I hope you do not mind me answering about the Magician card as it is very positive and suggests that a new cycle in your life will bring a sense of purpose to which originality and creativity will show the importance of a new enterprise,also indicates balance and eternal joining and separating of the perfectly balanced and unified opposites in yourself,as above,as below,as without,as within,I also think that in your life it is showing you that you are on the right track with your law of attraction and how you are having results enough to know that it works and will grow more as practice makes perfect,like indeed it does the magician, therefore you. Love and light Selina x
Wow! Thank you Selina for answering Toni’s question!
Love,
Christine
Thank you both Selina (I didn’t mind at all) and Christine. I am grateful for any feedback, especially the positive kind. 🙂
You’re welcome Toni!
Love,
Christine
Christine,
Enjoyed the post. Thinking that anyone or anything is coming to save us has always seemed counter intuitive. How could we truly grow unless we change ourselves, through our own efforts, knowledge, and experiences? Others may come along and walk beside us, share their similar experiences, and even bring love and encouragement, but they can never walk through the fires for us. At the end of the day, We are the answer to all our struggles!
So right you are Joshua, and neither would our higher selves want it any other way. Of course our higher self wants us to walk through the fire and come out the other end transformed, with compassion and gratitude and deep understanding.
This is what this world is about, and has been about for quite some time. However, the difference now is that we have a chance to make HUGE changes in our world, and we are supported in doing that by both our guides in the heavens as well as through helpful information revealed by people such as yourself. “It’s in the stars,” so to speak, for us to win, but how fast that happens is really up to each of us, to how dedicated and diligent we are.
Thanks for commenting, and am glad to be back in touch!
Christine
Christine, Ditto appreciation 🙂 i’ve just realised that it was your response that Toni wanted,not mine hahaha,what an idiot 🙂 but I have to add on to your excellent take of the magician and the number three,as you know what they sing about that number?
THREE is the MAGIC(ian) number, 3 is the MAGIC number. TRINITY Father,Son and the Holy ghost/Spirit, Creative,manifestation,Lucky. Love and blessings x x
Selina, I don’t know much at all about the Tarot deck so I am THRILLED that you responded to Toni’s question with a lot of insight! Also, your thoughtful action actually reminded me that the people who read this blog are very helpful and caring–just the people I want to read this blog! And yes, 3 (as well as 13) are great numbers. Thank you so much Selina!
Much love and many blessings to you,
Christine
Toni, Yes Christines was not only positive but spot on,unlike mine hahaha! 🙂 Could you manifest my way please? I am in England.Haha x
Selina, your original comment was just as helpful to me as Christine’s was. So don’t be negative on yourself. To many people will do it for you (hopefully they will learn to evolve at some point. Sooner rather than later). I can certainly try to manifest something your way. I seem to have had luck with it lately. Anything specific?
Thank you Christine, for giving such good guidance and spreading the truth that people need to realise. You really make a difference and you have helped me like no other to understand what intuition is and how to follow on it, and i also bought your two books because of that. Please continue your work 🙂
To comment on this subject in particular, i believe that the importance of helping yourself cannot be said enough – you are not a victim of what is happening with whatever dark roles and illuminati and what not. You shouldn’t wait for your hero, you knight in shining armor to come down to save you. There is no victims, only roles that we choose to play out in favor of evolving spiritually and intergrating light and darkness. Everybody is gods and godesses in our own life, and only we can save ourselves – thank god. I wouldn’t want anybody in the world to take that opportunity away from me.
Thank you Christine for confirming the positive great shift on consciousness that i’ve been feeling in my heart and soul personally.
Thank you so much for your comment Clara! I will continue this work and one day soon many more will experience firsthand the wonder that this life truly is! Many blessings to you! Christine
