The Bigger Picture

by Susanna Thorpe-Clark

If we were able to sit up in the stratosphere and look down on Earth, we would perhaps
be able to see how the many changes that are currently taking place on our planet have an
overall connection. Some of these changes are obvious, such as the strange weather
patterns that seem to be affecting us no matter where we live. Hurricanes, cyclones, water
spouts and tidal waves. More rain or less rain than we usually get and leading to either
floods or fires to name but a few.

If we look at society in general we can see that there are many changes taking place there
too. Many people are no longer sitting complacently in their homes believing that all is
right with the world. Believing that those in authority necessarily have their best interests
at heart, particularly as more and more government and industry cover- up's come to
public awareness. It seems too, that almost every few weeks we are invited to join in a
world peace meditation and to trust that by collectively joining our 'thought forms' that
we can create positive change by simply all thinking about love. That in itself is a major
change! But we are not just updating our perception on what is going on in the outside
world, but also reassessing what is going on in our personal relationships, our careers and
lifestyles and making, in some cases, quite revolutionary changes.

So what exactly is going on? Could there be some synchronicity between what is going
on outside as well as what is going on inside? The saying 'As above, so below' applies
here and could be rewritten as 'As within, so without'. So that if we began to explore the
changes that we are feeling compelled to make in our lives we would see that we are
responding to something that is within us. It is making itself felt in the outside world but
the control and the direction of these changes is coming from our deep unconscious and
is instinctive rather than ordered and controlled by logic.

The call to which we are responding involves, however, something which is outside our
present limited comprehension and is being directed by the Creator Of All That Is. It is
time for the planet Earth and all that is on it, to change from a third dimensional life force
environment into a fifth dimensional one. In order to evolve into this higher dimension,
all current life forms on Earth have to change physically, and for human beings, changes
also need to be made on the mental, emotional as well as spiritual levels.

Normally, when this kind of dimensional shift occurs, as it does quite often in the lower
dimensions of this universe, the life forms, combust. The reason for this is that the life
forms in this environment physically operate at low vibrational frequencies and are
therefore, unable to change quickly enough within the fraction of a second that it takes to
make the shift into a less dense format. One of the reasons why we can't see other
dimensional life forms, even though they are all around us, is because we are not
ourselves at a high enough energetic frequency level to do so. Beings from higher
dimensions can see us, and can move down to our density, but we can't move up until we
are able to readjust our frequency levels to one that is infinitely finer.

At an unconscious level, Earth's population is aware that this dimensional change is

already under way, and this is one of the reasons why fears about the future are rising to
the surface of mass consciousness. Many people are feeling anxious, restless and
unsettled, yet consciously are unable to say what it is that is making them feel this way.
In the third dimension we have a very strong concept of death and destruction and fear
that there will soon be an end to all that is. And whilst this does have an element of truth
to it because the world as we know it will cease to exist, this does not mean death or
destruction. It simply means change.

A great experiment has been conducted by the Creator of All That Is which has involved
all of us who inhabit this universe (even those who are in spiritual form) and this has
been operational for millions of years as Earth time goes. We have been caught up in a
major negative distortional thought form, which among other things, has stopped all
spiritual and physical evolution moving past certain base levels and which has contained
us in this third dimensional environment. This experiment has however, now drawn to a
close, and the doorways are to be reopened for those of us who choose to evolve further.
One of the reasons why the planet currently has so many people is because a large
proportion of us are ready to take up the challenge and evolve into beings who live life
from higher levels of consciousness. This involves us completely changing the way we
think and behave. We are required to readjust our thought processes, letting go of old
belief systems and embracing a new reality which involves taking back our own power.
To attain this new state of being we are required us to let go of third dimensional
concepts which thus compels us to let go of current relationships, jobs, careers, homes,
possessions and so on if they are unable to support our new way of being. This releasing
process is not easy, but is absolutely fundamental to our being able to support a higher
level of consciousness.

This journey into the higher dimensions is known as the Ascension process. Whilst these
changes deeply affect our emotional and mental state, as well as our life-styles, we also
undergo some physical changes as our body readjusts to the higher vibrational forces
which accompany our increasing levels of consciousness. As we sleep we are gradually
embodying more strands of DNA, changing from a carbon-based body with 2 strands of
DNA into a crystalline body which has access to thousands of strands of DNA, because
only crystalline substances can exist in higher physical dimensional levels. But it is not
just we humans who are changing into crystalline, but all life-forms, including the Earth
herself. All the fish in the sea, the flowers and trees in our garden, the birds in the sky,
even our pet dog or cat. Everything is changing.
Also, the changes to our physiological make-up are currently speeding up and there are
many temporary physical symptoms that are occurring in our bodies as a consequence of
this. Some of these are:
Flu- like symp toms. High temperatures, sweating, aching bones and joints etc, but
which do not respond to antibiotics .
Migraine headaches with severe pain that is not relieved with pain killers.
Occasional diarrhea.
Occasional runny nose and sneezing which lasts 24 hours and is not a cold or
hayfever.
Dizziness.
Ringing in the ears.
Heart palpitations.
Feeling the whole body vibrate, especially at night when one is in a relaxed state.
Intense muscular spasms and pain in one or more areas of the body.
Tingling in arms, hands, legs or feet.
Temporary loss of muscular power in the body caused by changes to the
circulatory system.
Occasional breathing difficulties, and/or noticing stronger or louder breathing
when in a relaxed state.
Immune system changes.
Tenderness in the breasts and/or genitals.
Lymphatic system changes.
Changes to skin tone and colour.
Feeling tired or exhausted from minor exertion.
Wanting to sleep longer and more often than usual.
Toe nails and hair growing quicker than usual.
Bouts of depression for no real reason.
Finding that one is delving into the past, looking at relationships and gaining
clarity on personal issues.
Feeling one is doing a huge purge.
Tension, anxiety and high stress levels because one feels that something is going
on but one doesn't know what it is.

Some of these symptoms are being felt by a great many people. Many are rushing off in
panic to their doctor, chiropractor, herbalist and so on and usually told that there is
nothing really wrong with them. And this is the truth. For all these symptoms are just
temporary and simply indicate that the above mentioned physiological changes are
occurring.

Some of the recommended relief remedies for the above are:

Go with the flow, don't fight it.
If you feel tired and exhausted, rest and get plenty of sleep.
Drink plenty of water for you are detoxifying and dehydrating quicker than usual.
To relieve emotional tension and stress levels take Valerian.
Fenugreek relieves stress on the lymphatic system and helps the detoxification.
To relieve muscle spasm take Valerian and try mud baths or a long hot soak in a bath
 into which you add a cup of Epsom salts. Do this daily.

Recognize that even if you are having heart palpitations or breathing difficulties that
it is the heart chakra or the throat chakra that is unblocking and that the symptoms are
temporary. You aren't dying, just changing! However, don't just take my word for it.
Seek medical guidance if you are unsure.

If you don't kno w where to get Valerian or Fenugreek try a health food store or better
still, simply say the name in your head when you need relief. All healing energies are
transmitted via the sound of the name and are just as effective said in the mind as
aloud or as in physically taking them. Try it and see.

Ask your angel guides or higher self to help relieve any pain.

Most symptoms seem to last a couple of weeks, then clear up.

Some symptoms may reoccur from time to time.

These changes are not necessarily being experienced by everyone concurrently, for
instance, a very small percentage of adults have already embodied a further 2 strands of
DNA (as at 2001) and are now beginning to move into fourth dimensional awareness.
This physical change in our state of being is completely dependent upon our current level
of consciousness, therefore, as we lift our perceptions to embrace ever increasing levels
of truth and higher thought, so we embody further strands of DNA. This entire process is
managed by our I AM presence or higher self, so we are in extremely capable and loving
hands, and must therefore, learn to surrender to it.

It should be realized that many people have chosen not to make this journey. Not
everyone feels ready to make the full-on commitment which is required to make these
changes occur, and there are others too, who still have a great deal of learning to do at a
third dimensional level and are nowhere near ready to evolve. These are the times when
we must say our goodbyes to those who choose to remain at the third dimensional level
of consciousness because what we may feel is true and right for us, may not be accepted
by our nearest and dearest. Hence, the emotional tug-of-war we may encounter when we
heed the call to release ourselves from current friendships and partnerships and even, in
some cases, from close family members.

The movement of the Earth's population through the fourth dimension and into the fifth
and above, takes place gradually and those making this journey are in three waves or
groups. The first wave is the smallest in number, but the most important, for it is these
people in the forefront who have taken it upon themselves to get the energies shifting and
who have been intensely working on themselves for many years. It is their strength of
purpose which has initiated and supported the new age movement, and their reward for
prolonged endeavour is to be the first to complete the journey. The second wave, which is
where a large proportion of new ager's lie, are in various stages of awakening, many
having advanced in recent years but still with some way to go. The third wave of
humanity have not yet begun to wake up to the internal call for change (as at 2001) but
we will be welcoming more of them during the next two years as they begin their search
for Self.

It should be understood therefore, that this dimensional shift is not made concurrently by
all peoples at the same time. In fact, within each wave, there are many different levels of
awareness in operation. This is why the new age mo vement is so diverse in its beliefs. It's
horses for courses! Not everyone comes to the same level of understanding in the same
way, nor at the same speed or even within the same time frame.

The doorway into the fourth dimension actually opened at the end of 1998 and many of
the first wave are currently adjusting into a more enlightened way of thinking. As they
progress they will continue to gradually take on more strands of DNA and make further
physical changes. It should be understood that all dimensions are space continuums
which are created by the thought- forms of their inhabitants. Today, the fourth dimension
today appears to be no different than the third because there are not enough people yet at
that level of consciousness to greatly affect the out side world. However, this will
gradually change. The doorway into the fifth dimension is currently estimated to open
sometime during 2007 for those who wish to move straight on through. However, the
majority of people will stay at a fourth dimensional leve l of awareness for around a 1,000
years, or maybe even longer and will be determined by personal choice.

At Spirit's request, I have written and published three books which deal with this
Ascension process. The first is "Changing The Thought - A Book of Insight" (which
deals specifically with the mental and emotional changes that accompany this
transformational shift into a different way of thinking. This book is designed to help all of
us make life more joyous and fulfilling, and is especially helpful to those who are in the
early stages of the Ascension process.

The second, "The ULTIMATE Ascension Handbook" fills in those missing pieces we
have been wanting to know such as, who we are, where did we come from and how did
we come to be here? There are stunning details about the 'fall in consciousness', who the
Starseeds, Walk- ins and Lightworkers really are, and the difference between Karmic
Partners, Soul Mates and Twin Flames. There is a whole chapter devoted to describing
the DNA changes taking place and how the human body is a masterful piece of genetic
engineering.

The third book, "Journey Out of the Third Dimension" puts our third dimensional mind-
set under the microscope. It takes a much more detailed look at Karma and Karmic
relationships how this Universal Law has affected our lives on so many levels. It shows
us some of our everyday beliefs that we carry in our mind-set and are not even aware of,
and how they create the discord and aggravation in our relationships. This book will help
us alter how we see ourselves and the way we live, assisting us to restructure a new world
society created by new thought forms of trust, peace and harmony.
