Starting Over
Karen Bishop
March 5, 2009

Welcome!

Bit by bit, piece by piece, we are starting over. After enough souls residing in the lower dimensional old world, had been given enough time and opportunity to choose if they would stay behind or move on to their newer and higher vibrating reality of the next step for the whole, many of us then left for the next rung of our very new reality. When we left, we may have felt a great completion, a sense of loss of identity and purpose, and perhaps great feelings of no sense of place. We were done with a very important phase, and because this phase was completed by enough of the whole, we were most certainly done with a very important mission. This was a huge completion. Because we are very done, we are now readying to start over…to experience a grand rebirth, and some very new beginnings.

Immediately before we entered our own very new space, or higher dimension, great muscle and physical pain could be felt, as we were squeezing what was left of any density we may have had within us, into a very small birth canal. But once we arrived, any discomfort may have magically dissipated.

Moving into a higher vibrating reality creates common themes that are always present. Some include: A very low tolerance for lower vibrating energies and ways of being, great loneliness, memory loss, a strong feeling of no sense of place, a great dis-connect from much of everything, extreme fatigue and feelings of not wanting to do anything but rest, apathy, sleepiness, mood swings, great joy, peace, a deeper connection to Source and our souls, greater feelings of love, and a very strong awareness of what is around us. What does all that mean, exactly?


· A low tolerance for lower vibrating energies: Lower vibrating energies are much too dense for those vibrating higher. They can feel very heavy, unpleasant, and downright awful. These energies are encouraging us to flee, to leave for a higher vibrating shore where we belong, and to create a higher vibrating reality somewhere else. We no longer belong nor do we reside in the lower dimensions. Personal sanctuaries and nature are the remedies for these challenging feelings, along with creativity and things vibrating high (love, caring, respect, art, music, and anything neutral, etc.).

· Great loneliness: The higher we vibrate, the more we spin off lower vibrating energies within and without. Eventually, there is not much left that we can surround ourselves with. Thus, we can become lonely as we are the forerunners, unless we are able to tolerate the lower energies for long periods of time, which becomes nearly impossible after a while. Eventually, we may seem to be the only ones around, but this is now changing (more about this further along in this post). Hanging with children (as they naturally vibrate higher), and finding small circles of friends and loved ones that really love us and care about us (even if they do not share our beliefs), and vice versa, are the remedies. True and authentic love vibrates high and this is enough to keep a connection, even if we have nothing else in common.

· Memory loss: We are evolving into pure energy, and also leaving much behind which can then become difficult to remember. In addition, the higher we vibrate, the more we exist in pockets of energy with different themes. What is in the now is all that exists, as we no longer hold strong and long connections to much. Higher vibrating energy moves in and out, very quickly, and is very in the moment. We are also becoming pure energy. In this way, specifics and details become moot after a while. I continue to receive correspondences from readers who feel a need to correct my spelling, grammar, and punctuation. What is happening here, is that I am now spelling phonetically and cannot remember detailed rules of grammar, etc. I used to be the continual winner of every spelling bee and meticulous about grammar and punctuation as I loved it, but it is simply not possible now, and too time consuming to send each WINGS post out to someone else for corrections. Superimposing letters and words in sentences is common as well in the beginning stages. Details and analyzing eventually become moot as well, as love and energy are all that will eventually remain.

· No sense of place: This experience is very common and will occur each and every time we move up a notch on the ascension ladder. We no longer reside in the lower dimensions and the new has not yet arrived. In this way, we do not fit anywhere. There is nothing to connect to and nowhere to go. We may feel lost, freaked out a bit, insecure, and perhaps loose our confidence as we feel out of our old groove. Knowing that these feelings always pass is the remedy here, as well as being in the moment as much as possible, and keeping busy and distracted can help as well.

· A dis-connect from much of everything: Much leaves our space through the ascension process. We may begin to vibrate differently than others and thus need to part, or perhaps our prior friends are now leaving for a very new and different “assignment” than ours. We can no longer relate to or become a part of the old systems, and even our loving animal companions may part as they are unable to travel with us to our very new shore (they always return again in a new form!). Connecting to the new is the remedy here and it can really make us feel so much better.

· Apathy, exhaustion, and sleepiness: We feel apathy when we are re-booting, resetting, or in a space of hovering while we are waiting for our new connections or new roles. Exhaustion comes from re-wiring or having our bodies tune up to a higher frequency (our cells are morphing and this take a lot of energy), and sleepiness occurs when we are going from one dimension to another (as does being cold with an inability to get warm). No remedies here, except to just go with these stages and know that they are always temporary!

· Mood swings: We feel great around the higher vibrations and not so great around the lower ones. We can try and stay in the higher vibrations as much as possible and in a loving and accepting state when in the lower ones.

· Joy, peace, a deeper connection to our souls, and feelings of love: This is what occurs when we remove ourselves from the old, or the lower vibrating energies. If we can remove ourselves as much as possible, it is then much easier to be around the lower dimensions for the short periods of time that we need to. And when we are around the higher vibrations of unity, caring, respect, creativity, love, and joy even in the old world, we can easily feel much better as well.

· A very strong awareness of what is around us: The higher we vibrate, the more unity we experience. Separation occurs in the old reality, and when we encounter it after we are vibrating higher, it can feel downright awful. Being aware of each and every thing that is around us, and knowing that we are a whole and all one, becomes increasingly evident the more we evolve. In this way, much else can seem to be existing in great separation mode, almost within its own bubble of separation and locked doors, and thus appear to exist in some strange world of its own. This has always been the toughest one for me, as not “seeing” or acknowledging one another feels particularly unpleasant for me. Everything affects everything else, and the sooner we realize this as a planet, the better off we will be.


Over this past week-end (the end of February and beginning of March), we reached yet another milestone and were then ready to move forward a bit more. This manifested as feelings of great sleepiness, vertigo and spinning for some, and a strong desire to sleep, rest, and nest.

We had successfully released much of the old, had set in place enough of the new, and could now let go and move forward once again…forward into a very new reality. Ever so slowly, we have been putting the pieces together for our very new beginnings. New connections, new foundations, fresh and new pieces in our lives have ever so slowly been manifesting and are being put into place.

Yes, we are starting over. In this way, we needed to be removed and separated from much. We needed to be left with the bare bones of the bare minimum so that we could start once again. We may have found ourselves with fewer friends than ever before, losses of income, stripped of so much, and may even had feelings of being left out in the cold. This was because we had to be ready to start fresh and new…we had to be ready to begin a very new life with new connections and much of everything else very new. Our slates needed to be wiped clean before anything new could be added, as what will be added will be comprised of much higher energy that now matches our own. We needed a clean canvas before we added the first new brushstrokes of very new paint creating our very new picture.

(This scenario is also occurring in regard to earth cleansings and natural disasters. This is why our beautiful Australia has experienced such massive fires…it is preparing a clean slate for a very new and higher vibrating reality. What will emerge from the rubble will be a bright, shiny, and new area that will prove to be a very grounded and pristine place for the New World…a place that will be known far and wide for its very special contribution to the planet.)

Thus, we have been released from all of the old…from all of the unpleasantness of the past….from difficult and challenging connections…and from old responsibilities of bringing up the vibrations of the old world and its inhabitants. (If you are feeling miserable and still feel a need to get out, leave the world, and that you are possibly now in hell instead of heaven, know that this comes from a greater connection to the old. The more we are enmeshed in the old reality, the more difficult it can be, and the worse we feel. Things indeed get better as we leave the old world behind, say no to unpleasant ways and individuals, and know that when we are willing to leave and to refuse to participate, we will always be taken care of. Really letting go is always a great benefit that keeps us in the flow during the ascension process.)

Our new reality and our new world will being with us. It will begin with one. Soon (if you have not already done so), each of us will introduce one more piece, or one more person. Then we will have two in our new reality (continued relationships from the past can remain as well, but at even higher levels now). This then, will be the beginning of new communities. Know as well that it took a very long time to release the old, so then, it will take a while to create the new (but certainly not as long as it took to release the old!)

In addition, we have learned that we need to be hyper-vigilant about boundaries. We need to be ever so particular about whom we allow into our new world and new reality. Not everyone can enter, but those who cannot enter will be met at the dimensional border when they ask. Those who do not ask, are not yet at the dimensional border. And those who do ask, will most times be met through our new store-fronts, which will exist on the border, while we reside on another side, having all our needs beautifully met.

What is occurring now with the economy is part of the plan. It was supposed to occur. The old world needed to start over as well. It was time for it to crash, thus, this massive transition is indeed in divine and perfect order,.. and know as well, that we will indeed be protected. We have left that world. Going through these confusing, strange, and perplexing feelings of endings and loss of purpose, are simply proof that we no longer belong on that lower rung of reality (the one that is crashing), and in this way, we have indeed arrived in a land where things are very different. If we can trust that this is so, and if we can remove ourselves from the old world as much as possible (with the exception of our money-making store-fronts), we can more easily experience the Promised Land of joy, peace, love, and harmony, among all else.

We are moving along quite nicely now. Feelings of heaviness, entrapment, distress, depression and panic, are indications of a residency in the old world or of interactions with old ways and lower vibrations. Staying still in our center, or in the center of the storm, and simplifying our lives as much as possible, can keep us out of harm’s way. Staying still while being willing to let go and trust can be great resources that enable us to ride the current to a new arrival in the higher realms. We are also much more grounded now as we are readying for a very new reality right here. All the waiting and separation of many years past, and the isolation for many, will soon begin to depart. Yes, we are indeed starting over.

Much love and continued gratitude. Until next time,

Karen

1. The following book excerpt was included in the E-mail notification...

From The Ascension Primer:

Letting Go Through Intolerance And Apathy

One thing I have said over and over for several years is that
the higher realms are not what you might think. Much of what
we have been taught or read about is highly inaccurate.

Although this is not a simple process, basically it all boils down
to simplicity and how energy responds and interacts with itself.
There are higher and lower forms of vibrating energy creating
things that feel good and things that do not. So then, there is
no meaning to anything. Meaning is simply what we choose to
place on any particular manifestation. Some things may feel
good to one person according to how they interpret them, and
may feel very unpleasant to another. A rule of thumb, then,
might be that things either feel good or they feel bad. It's that
simple.

As we begin to vibrate higher and higher we become less and
less of a match to what has been created so far on this planet
and also to any lower vibrating aspects of other human
behaviors and realities. One might think that as we become
more spiritual we embody a great compassion, understanding,
and tolerance at higher levels than we ever have before. But
this is not the case. As we progress through ascension and
begin to vibrate higher and higher, we find ourselves becoming
highly intolerant of any lower vibrating energies. We simply
cannot be in their presence for very long and we may even
become angry and frustrated with them as well.

There is a method to this madness. As mentioned in earlier
sections of this book, there is a hierarchy to energetic levels
and dimensions. When we reach higher realities, it is very
difficult to reside or spend time in the lower realities. We are
simply not a match to them anymore. This response also has
other benefits. The intolerance greatly encourages us to create
more on the outside that matches how we are vibrating,
feeling and being on the inside. If our outside reality feels
downright awful, we will most assuredly be inspired to save
ourselves through our need to feel better by creating higher
ways of living and being. And by not tolerating and refusing to
be a part of the old reality, as we literally cannot stomach it
anymore, it makes us literally refuse to participate, therefore
withdrawing any energy of support. If we do not become
involved in something and negate it, it cannot survive because
there is no energy to make it real and alive. It will simply
cease to be as it will not be residing in anyone's consciousness.

Through this intolerance we are also being very direct. As we
progress into higher vibrating human beings, we find that we
can no longer beat around the bush, sit by and watch, or take
a long winding road to get anywhere. Higher energy moves in
a straight shot. It does not go here and there, make excuses
and support friends and family even though they are in
unhealthy situations, or sit blindly by. It is simple and direct.
No wishy washy uncertainty and passivity. The time is up for
tolerating the old and for waiting. It's the higher way or no
way. At some level we know this, and at times can find
ourselves addressing the lower vibrations very directly. In this
way, this is a higher form of love. It involves an inability to
support the lower vibrations in anything. We are actually being
supportive and loving in that we are now supporting the
highest ways through this intolerance. We are actually being
spiritual warriors of higher truth and greatly helping others.

In the higher realms we create through a partnership with
Source and as we are becoming more and more of Source
ourselves, we must connect much more deeply now in order to
create the higher ways. During these years of ascension, it can
appear that we are getting absolutely nowhere. It may seem
that nothing ever goes our way or that we are receiving very
little support for getting what we want.

This is really not the case. We do not want to create things
that are not of a higher vibration or that will no longer fit in the
near future. In other ways, we cannot create from ego in the
higher realms. When we are not getting what we want, it is
usually because we won't be in that situation or reality very
soon, or that we are not yet ready. If there is something that
you really feel you must have, then you are not ready to
receive it. It is ironic that we always get what we want when
we no longer want it. What is happening here is that we have
lost our attachment, which places us in a position for perfect
creating. In addition, we are not then, creating from our ego.
This is all part of the ascension process.

Through it all, we can get pretty discouraged at times. When
we get discouraged and let down over and over again, and feel
that all our dreams have shattered, we become apathetic. This
is perfect. It puts us into a space of letting go. We simply do
not care anymore. This makes us let go and release the
energy of attachment. We are then residing in neutral energy
with no agendas and this allows much more of Source to enter.
And of course, allows us to let go of many of the illusions.

4. thanks for adding this

It makes so much sense! I've intuitively felt that if I didn't give my attention to things, they would go away, at least from my consciousness. I've had inner guidance telling me to avoid negativity, especially in situations. I've also been told repeatedly to shield myself with Light, and this has helped enormously in keeping lower vibrational situations from having a hold over me or even from cropping up.

2. Thank you for posting these, IHAD....

I still resonate with Karen very much, even if the messages don't always click or seem repetitive. Still, there is always SOMETHING in them that gives me hope. It's one of the main reasons I have adored her messages for years. They give me hope. :)

Thanks again.


:grouphug:

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

3. I can totally relate

If I'm not experiencing these things, folks around me are. I definitely feel that it is time to let go, to walk away from lower vibrations. I'm really excited that OneGrassRoot has started Wishadoo, as I see it as a place where we can combine our visioning with hard work and accomplish things!

[OneGrassRoot]

5. You know, Ayesha.....

especially in the last few months as Wishadoo has begun to, finally, manifest in a concrete way, Karen's messages have been delightful confirmations.

She speaks of community so much...and even in this message talks about the missing pieces coming together. So much of the wording and description of Wishadoo is reflected in her messages, so it makes me smile. I soooo appreciate confirmation! :)

Glad you guys seem to resonate with the name. I'm a HUGE name person...the energy of names are important to me. And I love to make up names.

Early last year we were trying to think of a name (btw, my partner HATED the name for the first few months...lolol...but her intuition told her it was the way to go), and we all know how Google and Yahoo are catchy.

I was thinking, "Sooooo, people are always wishing...plus, they are wanting to DO something." Voila -- Wishadoo! lolol

6. Yes.

Intolerance of lower vibes. I am very familiar with this.

I took my daughter to New Orleans in August 2004 to start college. This was a year before Katrina.

I was in the French Quarter. I walked by a bar or strip club. LOW vibes. Couldn't handle it. Had to get away.
Then I would walk by an antique store full of beautiful antiques, or an art gallery. Good vibes.

It was amazing how the good places and bad places would be next to each other.

I did NOT like New Orleans.

Also, I refuse to listen to country music because they whine and sing about depressing stuff.

I don't know how people that listen to that shit manage to not kill themselves.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

7. Interesting what you say about country music

My husband said as much to me many a time--"How can people listen to that stuff? It's so depressing that it makes you want to go out and hurt someone!"

Funny, I've never liked country music either, and try to drown it out when I hear it. Kirtans and Qawwali music and chanting monks--that's another story! :)

[MorningGlow]

8. Hee--I'll meet you in New Orleans and show you all the good places

It's one of my favorite cities. I would live there if I could. (Or London. I'm not picky. :rofl:)

Mr. MG and I used to go there every year before MG Jr. was born--I think we went five or six years in a row. Slowly we found the really great parts of New Orleans--including the Quarter.

But--! We NEVER spent time on Bourbon Street. :puke:

[lildreamer316]

9. I'm sorry to hear

that the strip clubs all put out low vibes, although that is common. I've been an exotic entertainer since 1994. I feel it is part of my 'calling' as a light worker to be in some of these places and to help them from the inside.

I find the industry to be a great opportunity to connect to others on a more honest level. It can be fascinating; it can be horrible. It is certainly a challenge, but I absolutely love it.

I guess I'm asking that people try not to generalize too much about any one industry, career, or profession. Yin-Yang; every thing is here for a reason and provides a learning opportunity for someone. No one thing is completely evil or pointless. There is light to be found in what you may suppose to be the darkest of places; and there is certainly freedom. Freedom is what I sought, and I found; when I became a stripper. I make my own hours (in general); I choose where and how to work; I choose who to dance for. If I don't like the person or the situation that I am in; I can literally get up and walk away. It is my choice. I can walk into almost any city and have a job within a few hours.

It is a complicated and very absorbing job. There is so much more to it than meets the eye. It is a psychological goldmine. Once one is naked, then the real work begins..because both you and the client realize that the nudity has all at once become secondary.

But enough about that..I am too far off on a tangent. Just know that I have worked in a club that gave me a spiritual high. Seriously. It's a drug that can never be matched with anything man has ever put in his body.


Country music..there is some wonderful soul there in the right songs. I find some of it wonderful and heartfelt and uplifting. Some of it is depressing and sorrowful and whiny, too..just like in some other areas of music.

Don't forget that country music evolved from the music of immigrants..folk music from other countries such as England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, and such. Mixed with some blues of African-American origin, it continues to speak for those we call blue-collar and salt of the earth. In other words, the common people; often always the poor..those as liberals we are always saying we are speaking for. How can we look down on part of what makes their life whole? This is part of why some of these people think that we are the liberal 'elite' - because we seem to look down on such a vital part of their culture and their life. If one is poor, sometimes music helps you forget your troubles. Sometimes it's all that you have.

And music, just like all of us, is constantly evolving.

I try to be open to good music no matter what genre; but some of that comes from being in a club for years and hearing a different kind of music every two to four songs; lol. Also, my husband is a dj.

I'll post some of my fave songs sometime and maybe you will find something you like. It does take a bit of digging :)

[Bluestar]

10. This is so true and I've seen in it my life several times in the past year

Around August of last year (lots of shifts taking place when Barack starting winning) I received a note on my gate from one of the local fundies, telling me how I was going to hell if I didn't contact them and hear the "gospel". This is common where I live--we are surrounded by Fundie churches who spend their time proselytizing to everyone, all the time--I receive a constant barrage of mail, flyers and even door-to-door visits by these people. I was raised in this type of church, and I have absolutely NO TOLERANCE for anyone who thinks they are entitled to tell someone else how to live. I usually ignore these messages and just throw them away.

This time I replied, as there was an email address on the note. It just seemed wrong for me not to tell them what I think. I pointed out to them that I was a disabled person and it was extremely difficult for me to clear notes off of my gate and if they were a true Christian, they would think about the fact that a disabled person might live there and their nosy notes about my religious beliefs might be a major inconvenience. You get the drift--the rest of the email reply that I sent had the same tone. I am so tired of this stuff and I thought it was high time someone stood up to them. Their fears about the afterlife are not mine, and I don't appreciate the constant barrage of this material.

A few months later my right-wing best friend from high school and her totally neo-con husband came to visit me (I send no invitations to these people, they just show up). Her husband started in on Obama, the Democrats, every liberal that ever walked the earth. In the past, I just sat in silence, fuming. This time I got up the nerve to tell him what I thought of Bush, the Republicans and reminded him of what they had done to this country the past 8 years. I even looked up responses on the web to some of the lies he was spewing. He was flabbergasted, couldn't believe that I had stood up to him.

It was a great moment for me and I realized that as lightworkers we aren't here to be trampled upon. We have great power and it is OK to use it to call out injustices and just to plain stand up for ourselves. We should be using this power to turn their own energy back on the low level entities who have dumped it upon our heads for centuries. They have tricked us lightworkers into thinking that we must be meek and forgiving of everything--that is how they have kept control all these years. Thanks to Karen for pointing this out so eloquently.

[southerncrone]

11. Wow! This hits me right between the eyes!

I have been experiencing ALL of these things the last few years. Even more so the last 6 months.

Now I understand what is happening.

Thanks for posting this. It gives me better insight & hope, where I was not feeling too good about myself. Thought I was getting senile & going crazy!

[northernlights]

12. resonates for me once again

Karen's messages almost always resonate with me; in fact it was reading her here that brought me to join DU and ASAH. I remember the synchronicity that she wrote about how she was painting some stairs for the 3rd time or so, trying to get them teal and ending up with powder blue. I was on that day painting my stairs for the 3rd time or so, trying to get mine slate, but ended up with a Williamsburg blue.

But I still haven't gotten past...actually, I will *never* get past...what she did to the kitten. To me, when I read her now it is a constant, nagging reminder in the background that we are all human and all subject to sometimes deluding ourselves when it is convenient to do so, especially when it is someone else is the one who will suffer the consequences. That sometimes what we think is the "source" truly is not, and that we do need to be careful about the consequences of our choices.

And so I read what she writes and so much of it resonates. But I always am a little reserved and careful about what I accept and what I suspect.

In the meantime, I still don't have my new slot, job, calling, whatever, though. But I'm reaching the crisis point that may force a change.

[I Have A Dream]

13. Yes, I agree about the kitten.

:(

I'm with you -- I always take anything that anyone says as their opinion.

This is important with channelled material also.

(By the way, I feel the same way about what she says about not helping other people at this time. This is the complete opposite of what my inner voice is telling me, so either what she's saying is wrong in general, or what's she's saying is wrong for me personally, because I always trust my inner voice.)

[Myrina]

14. Just. Wow.

:wow: Thank you for this!
