Where will you live in 2025?
I recently had someone tell me that if the 2024 US Presidential election was won by a particular person, they would probably move to Europe. We already know a couple who have moved to Europe because the atmosphere in the United States has become unwelcoming to this couple. The friend looked at me to see if I would move outside of the US if the election did not go the way my Lower Self Ego might want it to. I mentioned that I would check with guidance to see what the highest plan is for me, but I doubted I would be guided to live outside the country.
Knowing my path might be different than for my friend, I did a quick check-in with my soul. For 2025, as well as for the rest of this year and every subsequent year, I am being guided by my soul not so much where I should live physically but where I should live consciously. I am guided to live in peace and without fear regardless at which latitude and longitude I rest every night. I was pretty sure this was the answer I would receive from my soul because my number one priority, as the Christ tells us, is for my spiritual evolution. Trying to find a different place to live in order for me to feel more at ease won’t be fruitful until I simply feel more at ease within myself.
Knowing I haven’t fully mastered this yet, I asked my soul for some wisdom to help me manifest the highest plan for me.
I was guided to open my notes from a Mastery Group class channeled by Kris Duffy in October 2008. “Disconnecting from Mass Consciousness” is the title of this Mastery Group class.
To refresh our memories regarding what was happening in the outer world in October 2008, the United States financial systems, as well as most of the rest of the world’s financial systems, were reeling from the Subprime Mortgage Crisis. Many countries were passing bail out plans for banks, institutions and depositors. The United States was coming to the end of a presidential election year where the two major party tickets were led by Barack Obama/Joe Biden and John McCain/Sarah Palin. (Beyonce’ released Single Ladies that month, just to give you a time cue for the music of the day.)
Spirit would like us to revisit some of the wisdom Kris channeled for us then.
In the mass consciousness, money is source. If we believe money is source, then the mass consciousness doesn’t want the old paradigm to change. Or it is possible that those of us in the mass consciousness believe that the changes are temporary, and we will be able to ride out the storm.
Based on my consciousness level 16 years ago and where we were as a society on the “break down for breakthrough” spectrum, I probably believed I could ride out the storm. Or that the storm would not affect me if I planned well enough. (I was a project manager at the time.) But if, as Kris channeled, the old paradigm was built on the Mass Consciousness of limitation and the belief that we need to get our fill prior to everything running out, then there is no way to ride out the storm. It isn’t about husbanding our resources for a few years of draught; it is about changing our belief in limitation. And that means disconnecting from mass consciousness. If Kris was channeling this information now, she might even have been guided to include a subtitle, “Disconnecting from Mass Consciousness: Disconnecting from Mass Hysteria.”
Most humans in the world are in fear and in separation, which means we are coming from a victim mentality. Kris gave us this explanation. Let’s use the pyramid pointing up like we do in Standing in the Light® representing the third dimension.
We are looking at how the unhealed mass consciousness creates the fear. The top third of the pyramid is the consciousness representing thought. The middle third is the subconscious representing emotions. The lower third is the unconscious representing raw energy. The raw energy comes up through the subconscious layer and we feel fear in the mass consciousness.
For the unhealed mass consciousness, thoughts and energies existing in the subconscious are created and sustained by fear which manifests as a subconscious need for a system of beliefs to protect oneself from perceived harm.
We then create whole belief systems to try to not ever feel the fear again, vs. clearing the fear, or seeing that there was nothing to fear at all in the first place.
If we are allowing ourselves to be controlled by what everyone else believes, then we are going to be coming from fear and see ourselves as victims. We have discussed in SITL classes about the Karpman Drama triangle. This is a psychological model that states that while we are still in the consciousness level of drama, we will be playing one or more of the roles in this triangle. We will be acting from the energy of the victim, the rescuer or the persecutor. It is possible to roll through all three of these energies in rapid fashion. We believe we are the victim, so we start to persecute others for putting us in this position and we may be looking for a rescuer or think our ideas are the only way society can be saved.
We create governments, alliances, tribes, parties, friends and family in order to feel powerful, to overcome feeling powerless, to help us sleep easy at night without fear. Until those groups, divisions and separate identities no longer work. Maybe we are now on the outside of the powerful group. Maybe our alliance partners no longer have the same world view we have. We no longer feel powerful and safe because power coming from the outside is temporary. Only power from within is permanent. Divine power is from within.
The mass consciousness on earth believes we are separate from source. It is time to disconnect from this mass consciousness.
Sixteen years ago, Kris recommended seven steps for disconnecting from mass consciousness. These have been updated for 2024 energies but are very similar. Check with your own guidance to see which of these are part of your path.
First, acknowledge there is a mass consciousness. Then allow yourself to go through the 5 stages of grief to disconnect from it.
- Denial – “I am not at the effect of mass consciousness thought.” “The news doesn’t bother me.” “I don’t watch the news, so the news doesn’t bother me.” “I limit my social media interactions…”
- Anger – “If the XXXX and the XXXX would just talk to each other, the XXXX would be in a better position.” This could be world powers, your siblings or your lower self ego interacting with your soul. If we leave our own experience to the outcome of someone else’s actions, then we are still in victim mode.
- Bargaining – “I just need to make it through the next election/ the next layoff at work / the next winter, etc.” This is trying to bargain to ride out the storm, whatever the storm is to you. Move through this step because it won’t work in the long-term.
- Depression – Clear through the energy that nothing I do matters. “We are all just moving chairs around the deck of the Titanic.”
- Acceptance – This is knowing and feeling divine acceptance of the universal truth that we are not separate from source so we don’t need to be at the same energy level or at the effect of the mass consciousness.
Second, work with your soul to clear the fear and ask for recommended resonances. Clear the false beliefs, discordant emotions and old patterns of behaviors. Ask your soul to help you move from reactions based on fear to proactive actions specifically beneficial to your spiritual growth.
Third, ask your soul to help you be your true self in every moment. We are unique expressions of source, so be unique. Allow your light to shine through. Expressing your uniqueness will help transmute mass consciousness. Be fearless and resolute in your uniqueness. Ask if your soul has a specific message for you regarding your uniqueness.
Fourth, stand in your truth and your power. Ask your soul when to stand in your power by speaking your truth and when to stand in your power simply with your energy vs. with your words.
Fifth, cultivate a community that is trying to disconnect from mass consciousness, also. Attend healing circles and dance groups that are likeminded. Ask your soul if it is time to reconsider your relationship with social media. Is it the highest plan to disconnect electronically for a certain number of hours a day? This is definitely an individual plan. Ask what yours is.
Sixth, love yourself at all times. Clear any doubts or judgment of self. The Christ tells us that judgment is the number one block to knowing ourselves as Source. Work with the energy of divine Non-Judgment of Self. Love yourself unconditionally.
Seventh, remember who you are. You are Source. You are the creator of your experiences. You can choose to give your power away to unhealed mass consciousness. Or you can choose to step further and further into knowing and experiencing yourself as Source.
It is time to redouble our intention to disconnect from mass consciousness, mass hysteria and drama. It is time to actively follow guidance further into the fourth and fifth dimensions. Move further into the consciousness levels of a master instead of the third dimensional mass consciousness. Living in the fourth and fifth dimensions is more determinative of our experiences than whether we live in the United States, Europe or on a remote Pacific Island. Where do you want to live and how soon are you ready to move?

Like many this time of year, I’ve been crafting my vision for the new year and setting intentions for what I’m guided to create for my spiritual evolution and service. I was starting to feel pretty jazzed about the opportunities for expansion and then I heard to ask myself this key question: Am I truly open to receive these creations?
Even when we’re consciously willing to work toward manifesting our vision, we can still block it if we’re not open to receive. It is not more blessed to give than receive. We must be open to both give and receive to be in perfect divine balance. A block on either side of that infinity flow will block the creation or cause us to create from a denser frequency.
Since we create from all aspects of our being (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual), we must be willing to allow those higher frequency states of being in all of our bodies in order to manifest our vision. If you discover you’re not fully open to receive, then be sure to ask follow-up questions to identify what blocks need to be cleared and healed. The block might be in a specific body where there is unwillingness to allow higher frequencies. There might be resistance to a specific resonance that is part of your vision. Your feminine and masculine energies may be out of balance. Or you might be blocking your creations in another way such as false beliefs of unworthiness or fear of being in the power of your creatorship.
If your lower self is still fearful of receiving unconditionally, ask yourself if you would deny these same gifts to someone close to you. Would you tell your loved one they don’t deserve something wonderful in their life? Would you block them from receiving a loving gift? Where are you still holding resistance to allowing yourself that same joy? Marsha Hankins’ December blog post Find Pure Joy in Who You Are may offer some helpful suggestions to guide you in this process.
Our creations are meant to be joyous experiences. Your divine self is the giver and the receiver, so enjoy the beauty of both roles. Connect with your most loving aspect as you gift yourself with the manifestations in your vision. Connect with the energy of your inner child excitedly awaiting and allowing those wonderful gifts.

In downtown Fort Collins the other day, I saw a driving school car with a sign that said, “Patient Driver Please Be Student.” I laughed out loud. Obviously, you normally would see a sign on a driving school car say something like “Student Driver: Please Be Patient.” I don’t think the author of the sign put the words in the wrong order by accident. I think the author of the sign was being funny, saying something different to catch our attention or deliberately asking us to be thoughtful.
I like any of these options. The world needs more laughter, so if the goal was just to be funny, I am happy for the chuckle it gave me.
If it was to catch our attention to be more mindful with a student driver, then mission accomplished.
If, however, the author was hoping that we would dig into our own psyche to figure out what “Patient Driver Please Be Student” meant to us, well I like that too. For me, the saying reminded me that, in life, I am a student, regardless of my age, degrees or careers. There may be some things that I am an expert in but there are plenty of situations where I will learn best by allowing myself to be in student mode. I will learn more by not judging myself when it takes me a few tries or even when I fail at first to accomplish the desired outcome.
Recently, Ginger Withee lead a healing circle for embracing our inner child of the God/Goddess. The energy we focused on was the trust, surrender and innocence of being a child of the God/Goddess. Whether the author of the sign was asking us to embrace the trust, surrender and innocence, I don’t know. But, it feels like this is a message for me to ponder. I need to embrace this innocence, this child energy, this student energy. It will help me heal cynicism and other energies that we take on in our “adult” roles.
Finally, the sign also reminded me that being patient as a driver and as a human, with others and myself, is in the highest good of all. By holding divine patience, I will serve mother earth and humanity positively and more consciously. As suggested by Gandhi, if I hold divine patience, I will be the change that I want to see in the world.

Have you heard the saying, “You can’t get off the wheel of dharma until you love it so much that you no longer want to leave”? Recently, I’ve been shown certain attachments to what I believe is the ideal order of things, including how the illusion is “supposed to” come to completion in a way that is safe and gentle for everyone. My soul has been reminding me that third-dimensional order comes from the need to protect oneself and to feel personally comfortable and safe. Divine Order supports our spiritual evolution and ascension. From the limitations of the lower self’s perspective, the breakdown can sometimes seem messy and unorganized or even dangerously chaotic. From the divine perspective, it is perfectly…. well, divine.
When we judge any aspect of the breakdown process, we are blocking ourselves from healing the illusion within. Judgment or fear of how the breakdown will happen or when it will be complete or how it will affect us personally are all signs that we are still holding onto the illusion. These blocks may come to our awareness as a desire to stop or slow down the breakdown or to speed up and finish. It’s sometimes easier to identify our fears when we’re trying to put on the brakes. But resistance may also come to our awareness as a false excitement for the breakdown to hurry up and be done. Why is the lower self in such a rush? This may be a helpful question to take to your soul. The desire to fast-forward may be the lower self’s resistance to allowing true, lasting change within by skipping over what feels like the tougher pieces of surrender.
As Lightworkers, we are committed to healing and being of service, which is wonderful. But, we may also find ourselves getting a little impatient about “what we’re here to do” and overlook the opportunities in the breakdown itself. Everything is happening in divine order, and we are collectively co-creating the breakdown for our highest good in perfect divine timing. If we feel the need to hurry the process, we’re resisting the messages and mirrors that will guide us to what we still need to heal. Our very attachments to how or when the breakdown happens blocks us from fully allowing the breakdown to complete and, therefore, allowing our healing. Whatever is happening now truly is what we’re here to do, no matter how messy or chaotic or uncomfortable it may seem. Love the breakdown enough to allow it to unfold and allow yourself to heal.

Earlier this month, Ginger Withee lead the Standing in the Light® Gathering with her channeled teaching called “Healing 3D Reality: It is all about the Energy.” One of the suggestions in the teaching is that it is time for us to let go of our stories.
Ginger explains what she means by stories. “In the third dimension, our situations and experiences can only be explained by our stories, our history, in this lifetime. We can become invested in our stories as our identity: ‘I’m this way because my mother is this way. I have that issue because that event happened to me.’ The lower self can become attached to certain stories to justify holding onto our unhealed aspects or to reinforce a certain reality that feels comfortable.”
What are the old stories in our lives or in our culture that we hold onto that no longer serve us? Ginger asked us to take a couple minutes to determine what stories we need to let go of in order to no longer be in the drama of the 3D Reality.
I immediately heard that I allow myself to be sucked back into the drama of 3D Reality when other people have a different understanding of the 3D Reality facts than I do or don’t remember the facts as I remember them.
I realized that just the evening before the Gathering, I went to a dinner party at a friend’s house. After dinner, I walked into the kitchen where two other dinner guests were discussing current news events. One friend was stating his opinion that some of the government activities we see in the outer world right now are the worst, most violent government activities ever. Without being invited into the conversation, I said, “What about Genghis Khan?” My friend said, “He isn’t alive right now.” To which I replied, “Neither are the 40 million people he killed.” Yep, there’s me not being pulled into, but jumping with both feet into the drama of the 3D Reality…and, if we are honest about it, a pretty low frequency of 3D drama.
You can fact check me if you want. Forty million is the number bandied about by most resources as the number of people who died under the leadership of Genghis Khan. Most of these people were from China and modern-day Iran. At the turn of the thirteenth century, that is approximately 10% of the world population. And, as Kris Duffy use to say, “that and 25 cents will buy you a cup of coffee.”
What was gained by my interruption and my 3D facts? Did it change my friend’s mind regarding the horrors he is seeing currently? No. Did it raise my vibration so that I can help with the conflicts my friend is seeing currently? No.
What it allowed me to do is to worry about the situation for the rest of the evening and into the next day until Ginger prompted us to figure out what keeps bringing us back into the drama of 3D Reality. As soon as I checked with guidance and heard that 3D facts are keeping my frequency low, I laughed and knew that I needed to clear on “being right.” Do I want to be “right” in the 3D Reality? Or do I want to be detached and at peace in the 4D/ 5D realities?
Do I want to postulate that there were people and times equally or more violent in the history of Mother Earth and her humans than now? How is that conversation helping me or Mother Earth or her humans, now? I don’t think it is. If it is, if I was guided that somehow these facts would help bring humans together, to know ourselves a One, to know ourselves as Source, I believe I would be guided to mention it. But, somehow, I don’t think that will be the piece of information that helps move humanity to Heaven on Earth.
Having the 3D Reality facts, histories and stories, whether they are from previous centuries and other peoples’ experiences, or whether they are from my own incarnation at this time, if they are keeping my frequency low, then they no longer serve me. Time to let them go.

As we are seeing in the outer world, there are many places on the planet right now where there is a call to resolve and heal old, deep conflicts. Whether it’s physical war between two groups or nations or power wars between political groups, there is a great deal of battle energy erupting in the outer world. While it can be upsetting to watch others in fear, pain and struggle, we also know that lasting healing comes from within. Whenever we are feeling triggered or affected by the mirrors in the outer, we are also being presented with the opportunity to heal those matching vibrations within ourselves. So, in order to help bring peace to the world, we must be willing to hold peace within ourselves.
We can be at war within ourselves in many different ways. War energy doesn’t always look like two nations battling with weaponry. But the core energy we are still holding within stems from the same root of separation and fear. Our little will may be resistant to surrendering to Divine Will. Our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies may still be operating in separation from each other. We might not physically be battling someone in our lives but might be battling them through words or even in our thoughts and emotions. We might also be battling ourselves through negative self-talk and actions of self-sabotage.
We may find ourselves looking out at the world and saying, “Why do they continue to act in this way? Why can’t they take steps toward compromise and healing?” We can find our answers by asking, “Why am I still unable to forgive my brother? How can I be at peace with my ex-wife? When will I stop putting myself down?” The answer to why there is still war on the planet lies in the answer to why we are still at war in our own lives and within ourselves.
Here is an exercise you might try in meditation to start the healing process. Ask your soul where you are holding conflict or battle energy within yourself that most needs healing at this time. Now expand with the resonances, the feeling states, of Divine Love, Divine Wisdom, Divine Power and Divine Peace. Allow your entire energy field to be filled. Holding the first 3 foundational resonances in balance creates a state of peace within.
Now ask your soul for a situation, event or group in the 3rd dimensional world that most needs this healing energy of Divine Love, Wisdom, Power and Peace. Expand your energy field, while still holding these resonances, to include that situation, event or group. Feel the Divine Peace flowing outward to include this group or region. Continue expanding with that energy until it feels complete. Give gratitude for the opportunity to both heal within and be of service.
In the divine realms, energy is energy. The energy of war between two people is the same as between millions of citizens in two nations. Whenever we start the healing process within ourselves, we are supporting everyone in that healing. Be gentle with yourself and others. And be at peace.
