Maybe just the end of the world as we know it. No, the world is not going to implode or explode or be completely destroyed in any form for that matter. 2012 is a new beginning, not an end.

There has been so much said about all this, from the bible, from Nostradamus, from Edgar Cayce, from the Mayans. In 2012 we will truly be able to experience heaven on earth. For some, this has already started. We are already feeling these changes. There are many people on this earth who have Ascended from the 3D reality to the 5th Dimension reality already. The Earth herself has ascended from 3D to 5D. In 5D time and space are different, they do not exist in the same way as they do in 3D. This is why so many people are having experiences outside what the "norm" has been the past few thousand years.
Some people think the financial meltdowns etc. are really bad news. It is just a change, different things going on, it doesn't have to be bad news. Everything is perception. A lot of people are being forced to change the way they have been thinking, or the way they have been doing things. So much of the world's issues right now are related to the old 3D ways crumbling. It is a new beginning, not an ending.
Jesus (or whatever Ascended Master you relate to based on your religion or lack thereof), IS coming. It is the Christ Consciousness in us all. Jesus "the man" is not going to just show up one day to save us. Its not quite like that. The consciousness of Jesus will show up for us all as soon as we realize that we have access to it. It is your own greatness, your own Christ Consciousness that will save you. Your realization that you are God. We ourselves are the second coming.
What makes things so hard is the separation from the divine light and love of all that is. For many years people have turned to religion, or leaders that tell us that things are outside of ourselves. Those in perceived power don't want us to know that the power of EVERYTHING is within us. We are all one.
The talk of hellfire and hell coming to earth for those that do not accept Jesus into their lives is true in some ways, but not in the literal sense that some organized religions would have you believe. It has to do with those that accept they are the creators themselves. Those that can see and feel their own greatness will truly be creating a heaven on earth for themselves and those around them.
Those that rely on (or "worship"), things from the 3D reality -- money and ego and external power -- truly will be in a hell on earth. Earth and her energy is changing, has already changed. We, as a species, are learning that we can create whatever we want here. It has very little to do with ego and power. There are many on the earth right now who are here to help with this transition. Many lightworkers who are ascending and "getting it" are here to help you. Many are actually devoting their lives to helping others remember where they came from and what divine beings they are. The first wave of Ascension is over. There are many Masters on this plane of our planet right now. Willing to help you to realize you don't have to stay stuck in 3D any more. Many people think Jesus is a saviour, as in separate from you, that will come and rescue you from your life, your existence, yourself, your perceived sins. God is not going to "make people go to hell". What kind of loving God would actually make people go to hell? If all one does is worship money, control or power they WILL likely end up in their own hell. This will be their own doing (or undoing) though. It will not be something that is done TO them.
Look at how things are right now. The world financial crisis is HUGE. Anyone who is very centred in, or worships, money or power at this point in time is RIGHT NOW in their own personal HELL. God certainly isn't putting them there. It is their perception of their time on earth that is putting them there.
Those that are suffering right now just need to look inside themselves, at the Christ Consciousness, at the God in THEM. Hanging onto the old 3D reality and the worship of external things like money or power or ego is what is causing them suffering. The always wanting more is causing suffering. There is enough on this earth for everyone. Some say they don't believe that...I've had people tell me to my face that I'm full of you know what just for suggesting such a thing.
The reality of it though....at least MY reality of it is that there is enough for all. If we take the greed, the control, the lusting for external power away, there is enough.
All through the bible it states that God is in all of us. Therefore, Love is in all of us.
Religions made the devil up to scare the heck out of people. There were, and still are, those that do not want you to know your own greatness. They don't want you to know what they know. If everyone knew, there would be balance. No one would be better than, or richer than. Everyone would just "Be".
Religions say the devil "fell from grace" because he wanted to be God-like. What better way to make people shun their own greatness, their own connection with God. Scare the crap out of them so that when they start to realize their own greatness, and that they are not just a "part of Source (God)", but that they are indeed Source (God) themselves, the creators of their own lives and spiritual journeys, they get afraid and experience more separation. As soon as people realize their greatness, no one will be able to control them. That is very scary for those that think they have the power over the masses.
We are all God-like. We are all creators, God is Love, we are all a part of God. This scares a lot of people and there are certain governments and religions that don't want people to know this, so they make up stuff like the devil or demons to scare people. They don't want the general population to realize their power, they would lose their own place in society; in the 3D reality they have created for themselves. Imagine if everyone knew just how much like God we are, how much a part of God we are.....no one could control us anymore. No one would have the power to "make" us fearful. God is Love.....the "devil" is fear.
So, is 2012 the end of the world? I certainly hope it is the end of the world as we have known it up to this point.
Do not fear the changes, embrace them. Connect with Source in your own way. Find and connect with your own internal Christ Consciousness, your own greatness.
When things are done with Love and not fear, nothing but God and Love can shine through.
There are many things going on. Being a psychic lightworker myself (for lack of a better term), I know that what I see and do, anyone can see and do. The biggest challenge is to KNOW that you can do it. It is just a matter of being open to it and having the realization that we are all Source.
Remember where you came from, remember your divinity. Connect with your own Christ Consciousness. Experience the bliss every day, feel the love every day. Live with Love not Fear of what is going on on our earth. Its all good....

Someone sent this to me this morning.  You may have seen it elsewhere or have had it emailed to you, but I liked it so I am posting it.

Different drug problem

The other day, someone at a store in our town read that a methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county and he asked me a rhetorical question, "Why didn't we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?"
I replied, I had a drug problem when I was young; I was drug to church on Sunday morning. I was drug to church for weddings and funerals. I was drug to family reunions and community socials no matter the weather.
I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults. I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie, brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher or the preacher, or if I didn't put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me.
I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profanity. I was drug out to pull weeds in mom's garden and flower beds and cockleburs out of dad's fields. I was drug to the homes of family, friends and neighbors to help out some poor soul who had no one to mow the yard, repair the clothesline, or chop some firewood, and, if my mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for this kindness, she would have drug me back to the woodshed.
Those drugs are still in my veins and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say, or think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack or heroin; and, if today's children had this kind of drug problem, America would be a better place.
God bless the parents who drugged us.

I have noticed some strange things going on lately with myself and other people around me.  I wanted to share it with you so that you know you are okay.

At the group in my home the other day, I mentioned that I was having a few weird experiences and found that others in the group were having the same experiences.  I've also had clients who are experiencing the same thing.

I did a meditation and connected with Gaia to see what was up.  Our Mother Earth is okay.  She is going through a birthing process at the moment.  A lot of shifts and changes (as evidenced by all the natural disasters of late), but she reassured me that she was okay.  She's been through this before. 

Yes, it is important that we treat Gaia with the love and respect she deserves.  She takes very good care of us.  Please send loving energy to Her every chance you get, and remember to leave the smallest footprint possible with all you do.

As for the symptoms that I and others are feeling, they are as follows:

- While driving, stopping at a red light and having a feeling like you are still moving.

- A big increase in the amount of "peripheral" visions. 

- An unexplained queasyness.  There were three of us at the group who felt much like we had morning sickness (with no chance of being pregnant, trust me on that one).  I myself have been carrying crackers around, in my car, in my purse, just in case the queasyness comes around.  The crackers seem to work.

- Walking along and almost losing your footing or tripping up when there is nothing in your path.

Two of us at group had gone to the eye doctor, and had gone for blood tests to have our blood sugar levels tested (please note, if you think you might be sick then go to your doctor).

I just wanted to post this in case you are experiencing the same thing and are wondering what is going on.

 

THE FLAME IS ONE : ALL IS ONE

Archangel Michael through Celia Fenn

Dearest Lightworkers, so it is that you enter into the month of December and you enter into the Heart of Light. This is the place of Infinite Power, Possibility and Potential, that is found at the Heart of the Unified Flame of Unconditional Love.

So, Beloved Ones, you have experienced the intense energies of the Twin Flames becoming One in your own Hearts, and now you rest in that place of Deep Silence and Peace. It is a Gentle place, a place of Softness and Sweetness and Intimacy and Warmth, a place so Delicate that it can be missed if you are not focused into the Still Center at the Heart of your own Being.

As you have opened your Hearts, and as you have allowed the Twin Flames to unite within you, so you have entered into Fifth-dimensional Consciousness. You have experienced the Diamond Flame within that burns brightly with the Consciousness that All is One within the Radiant Web of Cosmic Being.

And, dearest souls, that "Oneness" will bring you into the Unified Center of your own Radiant Heart, and there, within the Temple of your High Heart, you will find the Deep Peace and the "Pregnant" Silence of All That Is. You will feel this Peace as a Profound and Intimate Gentleness that rests at the core of your Being, your I AM presence. You will find the Gentle Sweetness of your Essence, that place within you where Heaven lives and exists as part of You.

And, from that moment of Peace and Silent Sweetness, you will be ready to begin weaving a New Creation from the Light of your Heart.

What will You Create from Heaven's Sweet and Beautiful Essence within You?

Dearest ones, in this month of December, with its powerful alignments, we urge you to consider how you might create and live an "Authentic" life of Freedom and Joy, for this is what "Heaven" means to Beings of Light. And, while this may seem a paradox, to be One and Yet to be Unique, it is this dance of complementary energies that characterizes the Higher Dimensions. When duality, with its clash of opposites falls away, then there is only Unity with its wonderful blending of diverse but complementary energies, the Yin and Yang of All Existence.

"Authentic" means to recognize Who You Are within the Flow and Dance of Life. That you are a spark of the Divine Essence in Human form, what we call a Human Angel. It means to recognize that you have nothing to "learn" on Planet Earth, all that you need to know is already within you in that place of deep wisdom at the Heart of your Being. You have nothing to "heal", you are already a Perfect Being of Light who seeks only to see that perfection reflected in the outer world of manifest reality. "Authentic" means, dearest Lightworkers, recognizing that You are here to Become your Highest Potential as a Soul, to grow, to explore, to adventure out on the waves of light, and to discover more of Who You Are through the Joy of your Creations! This is the essence of life in the Fifth-Dimensional Consciousness. And, the way to access this level of consciousness is through the Heart. As you enter into your personal role of service to this great co-creation called a Planet, you will feel in your Heart a desire to experience Life and Love in a way that is Unique to You!

Yes, beloved Lightworkers, each of you is as unique as a snowflake crystal, and each of you expresses Unconditional Love in different ways. To be in an "authentic" state means to experience your flow of heart energy in a way that uniquely expresses You and Who You Are. This will not be the same as others, for while you are "One" in the Flame of Unconditional Love, you are unique in your Beauty and in your soul expression, through the experiences of your soul accumulated in many and diverse past, future, and parallel realities and lifetimes. Do not be afraid to enter into the Deep Truth of Who You Are, and to express and explore that through Love and through the Light of your Heart.

How will you know when your life is "authentic" for you? You will feel within yourself a deep sense of Peace, Joy and Fulfillment. You will feel Gratitude and a sense of a life well lived. And, even if you do not feel those things now, you can know that with the present Twin Flame Heart alignments, you are empowered to begin to shift towards this state of Inner Peace and Joy.

So, we will suggest only how you might begin to manifest and hold the Fifth-dimensional consciousness within your Heart.

Be Free and Experience Freedom within Yourself :  Know that you no longer have to please anyone and you no longer need to "fit in". You need to be You. When you are "authentic" you are Loving and Gentle and Peaceful, and people around you will not feel threatened by your uniqueness, but will celebrate it with you. When you live in this way, your soul will feel free to be All that it can be, and you will unfold into your Full Potential. Be responsible for ensuring that you maintain your own inner sense of freedom and lightness to be Who You Are.

Be Passionate and Share your Passion : Follow your Dreams and Desires. When you are "authentic", people around you will be attracted to you because of your Passion. Do not become obsessed. Remember, a Passion is something that you share with others, it should not be a way of escaping connection and intimacy. A passion in your life should deepen intimacy and love with others, as their Heart passion unites with yours. Know that every Heart has its own Unique Passion and way of expressing that. Be willing to honor and respect the passions of others, and they will honor yours and share yours. When a group of people works together from the united Flame of their Heart's Passions, it is indeed a powerful energy of Love and Creativity.

Be Open and Honest with Yourself and Others : Be aware of what you are feeling within yourself and do not be afraid to express this. Be willing to express your truth. If you do so without anger and aggression, then it will be accepted as such by others. It may not be their truth, but that is not your concern. If they are able to accept your truth, then that is well, but if not, then you should allow yourself to move on until you find those who are will be equally open and honest with you. But know, dearest ones, that the ability to be open and honest and loving rests on the ability to be open and honest and loving with yourself first. The extent to which you are open and honest with yourself, will be reflected in your ability to be that way with others.

Be Original and Adventurous : Don't settle for a life of security, dearest ones, for there is no such thing in the material dimensions. The nature of all existence in the Fifth Dimension, is Fluidity and Flexibility and Change. Cosmic Heart Energy flows and is always seeking new forms and expressions. Be willing to move with that Flow and to allow yourself to create from that Flow and to have fun in the process. Remember how it felt as a child when you embarked on an "adventure" with your friends? So it should feel as your soul explores the new "adventure" of each day. No matter what your life may be, you can always create small adventures of Love and Beauty for yourself within each day.

Be Peaceful and Be Gracious : When you live with your awareness in the Fifth Dimensional level of Consciousness, you will find that you need and desire Peace and Grace. And you will be able to create these things wherever you are, even if you live in the center of a big city and are in the middle of a busy street! For your consciousness will create such a powerful "zone of Peace and Beauty" that it will be felt by all those around you. They will be attracted to you, and this will be reflected in how they respond to you. The Peace and Grace that radiates from You will awaken Joy and Kindness in them.

Live Beyond Social and Verbal Cliches : Dearest Lightworkers, do not assume to know how another person thinks or feels or where they are. Allow them to be where and what they are. Allow them the mystery of their own Uniqueness. In this Fifth Dimensional space, all is Love, and Fear is an illusion. It serves no purpose to say to another : "You are in Fear", for this is more of a reflection of your own need to judge the feelings of another and to feel safe with your mental analyses of what they mean in your life. Look rather to see what is the "Message of Love" that this person brings to you through this reflected "illusion". Most often, it is the need for you yourself to look at your own illusions and to make changes in your life, perhaps to see where and how you have allowed these illusions to take hold in your heart. Dearest ones, living within and yet beyond illusions, in the heart of your own unique truth, is the "skill" of Multi-dimensional Life.

Do not Resist the Flow : Dearest Ones, in the Fifth Dimension of Consciousness the Flow of Unconditional Love is powerful and it will bring many surprising events and changes when you live an authentic life. Do not resist the flow of change, for to do so is to block the flow with the heaviness of old energy illusions. We call these surprise events "miracles", for even if they do not seem so to you at all times, they are designed to keep you within the flow of Abundant Love. If you resist, you block the Flow of Abundant Love within your own Heart, and it begins to flow around you, and so you experience isolation, loneliness and lack. As soon as you open your Heart once again to the Flow of Unconditional Love, then the flow of Abundance will find you. Resistance to the Flow is always a result of fixed expectations and ideas about outcomes. Once you have the ability to release expectations and allow change and flow, you will not be upset or rigid if a manifestation does not materialize as you had expected. Know that all things flow in Divine Order, and that there is a blessing in every shift and change in your life. When you accept change with Grace and Gratitude, you will see and perceive the Abundant Blessings at the Heart of All Things.

Hi there, just wanted to post a little note letting everyone know that I am moving on September 1st.  I have been really busy with readings and the emails are coming in fast and furious.  I'm trying to keep up and get to replying as quickly as I can but there are some times that its taking me a few days to get back to people.

That's another reason why I haven't been updating my blog as much as I'd like.  Too much packing!  We are all quite excited to be getting into our new place though.

Everything should be back to normal for me by mid-September -- as long as the new 'old' house doesn't need too much immediate work (it was built in 1896 or there about so we aren't sure yet what will need to be done).  At least I'm psychic so I know it might slow us down a bit, but it won't break us.

www.tamarahawk.com

We are all a part of a Universal Energy Grid.  The grid is available to everyone, no exceptions.  The Energy is the ocean, and we are drops in the ocean.  It is just a matter of whether or not each individual wants to acknowledge the energies or not.  We clearly have a choice in this.

If you were to sit in quiet meditation and clear out the mundane physical/emotional stuff, you would be able to feel the energies surrounding you, and feel the grid.

When you choose to ignore the energies, you cannot feel them quite so much.  Everyone talks about "following their guts or instincts" or "I knew I should (or shouldn't have) done that", "someone is watching me" -- all these things are brought about by energy.  It doesn't matter if you are a believer or not, you have felt something at some time that cannot be explained by the physical.  Even if it is just an uneasiness at some point about something or some place in your life.  We have a choice in this.  Ignore or acknowledge, its up to you.

I am usually very connected to this energy.  I allow myself to feel it and connect with it.  When I do readings it feels as if all the information is just 'there' and all I have to do is focus and pick it up....as if out of thin air.  I also believe that anyone can do this with practice, trust, patience and coming from a place of non-judgment.  It is our judgments of what we are seeing and feeling that get us mixed up.

I do not walk around in my daily life being 'turned on' or 'tuned in' to other people's energy.  At least I try not to be.  I can feel strong energies at any time, but when I answer my phone, or read my emails, I make a conscious effort not to tune in to the energies of the person I am dealing with at that moment.  I chose not to because you never know what you might end up with.  Not everyone that contacts me has a high light vibration, some are quite low actually, and I don't need to be sucking that up all day long.  Occasionally I will get a phone call or email from someone who wants to disprove what I do, or who wants to attack my energy in some way, I'm not leaving myself open to that.

Much like when people 'play' with Ouija boards.  Entities will likely come through if you try it.  Its just that you don't know what type of energy it will be until it gets there.  Many people who know nothing about energies will play with these 'games' and they will attract all kinds of unsavory types of energy.  These energies take any opportunity they can get to come through and play with people.  I do not allow them to come in when I am doing a reading.  Daily, I protect myself, surround myself with light, and bring in, or connect, with the Light Source Energy of the Grid.  I tell anyone (or anything), that it is not allowed to come near me if it does not come from God and the Light.  I also ask that things be for the Highest and Best Good of the person I am reading for, myself, and all of the Universal Energy.  Negative energies will come in at any chance they get.  The are most likely to pop in when there are novices opening a portal through things like Ouija boards.  It is never a good idea to play with these things if you have no knowledge about how the energies work.

I do not need to be picking up the energies of everyone at a shopping mall either.  It certainly does not serve the highest good of all.  Its not that I can't feel anything when I'm out, its that I make the conscious effort to blanket the feelings to a degree.  There are times when I start to get something, and I really don't want to.  I have the ability to block that out.  Just as a skeptic has the ability to block out whatever they want.

It works very well with skeptics.  If you do not believe in the Universal Energy and you go though your daily life affirming that it does not exist, then you will effectively block it.  If someone comes to me and there is something that they do not want me to see, chances are I will not see it.  Not in its entirety anyway. 

I have no desire to try and prove anything to anyone.  That is not why I am here and that is not my job. My job is to help people on their path and help them to connect to the energy themselves. Everyone needs to find their own way in life.   We are all here for different reasons.  I believe that skeptics have a pivotal role in all of this.  There are many people out there that pretend to be connecting when they aren't.  I think its great that skeptics can tune into that and expose it. 

 If someone asks me to tune into their energy and/or talk to their loved ones or teachers or guides, then I will do it with them.  When I do my readings it is an exchange of energy between me and the person I'm reading for.  I need to have permission from the person's higher self before I can do it.  If a skeptic is sitting in front of me, it is rare if they allow me to tune in.   Sometimes I think it would be easier to help a skeptic tap into their own personal power and intuition than to prove to them that I have already done it myself.

"Just as the electromagnetic field is an interface between the matter fields and the mental, psychic, and morphic aspects of ourselves as human beings, so the electromagnetic field could be playing a similar role in the mental structure of the soul of the world."
--Rupert Sheldrake

"Many spiritual people anticipate the return of White Light to the planet. They imagine that it will come in the form of a unique individual like Buddha, Jesus or Muhammad. However, from my newly acquired spirituality, I see that White Light will only return to the planet when every human being recognizes every other human being as an individual frequency of the White Light."
--Bruce Lipton

There's another energy shift going on right now.
It woke me up around 2 a.m. last night and I have been awake since.
My phone has also been ringing off the hook for readings the past 24 hours.  Obviously a lot of people are feeling something.
I wanted to write about it for anyone else who is feeling things.
I'll explain my version of it.....
For the past week, I've had almost like a feeling of vertigo.  I checked with some other people I know that work with energy and in one form or another, each of them has been feeling things (some dizzy, some nausiated).
Then last night, I had what felt like a dream, and then I woke up at 2 a.m.   I don't remember the details of the "dream" except that there were an awful lot of spirits around.  All night it felt as if there were entities around keeping me awake.
This morning, my son was upstairs getting dressed for school and he called me.  I went upstairs and he was on his bed with the covers over his head.  This is unusual behaviour for him by the way (he's almost 7).  I asked him what was wrong and he said he was really scared.  He went into my room and something scared him, so he put a blanket over his head.  I had to stay right with him upstairs while he got dressed and brushed his teeth.
I want to make it clear.  I DO NOT feel anything ominous or dark or threatening.  Just a big shift and a LOT of activity going on.
I haven't been told exactly what it is....It could even just have to do with me and my family.  It also could have to do with a major event or shift going on with Mother Earth or a disaster of some kind.  I might find out later, or I might never know.
I just wanted to share it in case others' are feeling a little funny right now.  It might help you to know you aren't alone and that you need not be worried.

Until next time.....
Tamara

There is something different about the energy just now.  I know myself that I was somewhat 'down' in March, and feeling strangely apathetic through April.  I was also feeling the need to ground myself all the time.  Its as if if I didn't work on grounding my energies I would spin right off the planet.

Those of you who do energy work or who are aware of subtle energies may have felt this feeling of not being grounded.  Those of you that aren't aware of energies may be feeling 'spinny', unfocused and unable to care to the degree that is normal for you.

Just now I'm getting back to normal, but I'm noticing a lot of my friends and family are feeling it too.  Its a very hard feeling to explain, but if you happen to be going through it, you will know exactly what I'm talking about.  I wanted to write about it because the more people I talk to, the more I realize it is more than just me.  There's nothing worse than being in a mood or state and feeling like there is something wrong with you and wondering what it is. 

I've noticed it in my readings and with my friends and family.  I brought it up at the group I just had in my home, and everyone there knew exactly the energy I was talking about, they were all experiencing feelings that were not the norm for them.  The range seems to be from a feeling of depression or lethargy to feelings of not really caring about what is going on.  My friend was telling me about her young adult son, who is very empathatic and normally a really caring guy and he is having feelings of being drained by his friends.  Normally he is the kid who listens to all his friends problems and helps them out.  The past couple of weeks, he's been fed up with his friends and can't seem to bother caring.  He doesn't have the energy to even talk to them right now.

Its as if we need to be taking care of our own business and sharing energy just isn't the way to go right now.  The more people I talk to, the more I hear "I just can't seem to make myself care about other peoples' stuff right now". 

Looking a bit deeper into these feelings, when you focus on your family and friends you still feel the love in your heart - its reasonating just like always.  You just don't have the energy to share with them.  You don't have the time or focus to get involved (or even listen to) their dramas.

This doesn't need to be a big deal.  If you recognize it for the shift that it is, remember that you still do have the capacity for love and that these feelings will pass, you should get through it just fine. 

When I was going through it myself it felt as if a shift was occuring.  I had a really big urge to move house too.  I'm holding off on listing my place until the energies calm down a bit.  I don't want to make such a big move until I am sure that its not just the shifting energies that is making me feel the urge to get out of here.

Every now and then the energy of and on Mother Earth seems to shift and change, and a lot of us feel these shifts and changes.  This isn't new for me so I just spent some time alone to regenerate and recharge myself.  With all the energy sharing I do I need to do that sometimes.

So, if you happen to be feeling 'not your normal self' lately, try not to be so hard on yourself.  Just know that the energies are shifting, and that you will get through it.  The key to getting through it seems to be allowing yourself to let things go.  Try and spend some time alone or just continue to go through the motions, don't make any major life changes, ground yourself , meditate if you can and allow it to pass.
