The Labor Pains of the Re-Birth
Karen Bishop
July 23, 2009

Welcome!

The new re-birth we are experiencing has created much in regard to a “complicated labor.” To summarize briefly: There were many souls who became stuck, or who are experiencing difficulty in awakening or opening to a higher frequency, and this is creating delays, dismay, disappointments, hopelessness, and a fair amount of discomfort for many, as we are all connected at our core. For many, these are challenging times indeed.

Many souls chose to depart the physical realms at this time, while others are attempting to align themselves with their next level of vibration. Those who departed can easily return again if they choose, and this form of re-birth will indeed be an easier one for them. Others are struggling to re-align to the new frequencies, while still others have suddenly opened and are experiencing a greater light for themselves.

There were many more than expected who were simply not ready for the energy of the solstice. So much was dislodged during this time, that energy went flying everywhere and is still deciding where it might land. Because there were more souls than expected who were not yet ready, the spaces below us on the ascension ladder could not be filled as was planned. There were simply not enough individuals ready to fill our old grooves, thus holding our old space so that we could be supported in moving forward with ease. In this way, we still cannot let go of some of the old, as there is nothing there yet to take over so that we can be completely released.

Because we are all connected in one beautiful web of energy, we are thus all affected by what occurs for each and every one of us, even if we are at very different levels in our spiritual and vibrational evolutionary process.

What is different this time than in times past regarding the ascension process, is that more light is being held now from within. So even though we may experience solar flares, solstices, and eclipses, they do not affect us nearly as much as they did in times past. And know as well, that the more light we hold and the more we evolve, the less we will be affected by these monumental celestial events. The denser the energy within a form, the more it is traumatized and challenged, as there is more to be released and aligned.

This past solstice and eclipse experience was perhaps more commonly felt as jitters, rapid heartbeat, sleeplessness, weight loss, and anxiety for some, while for others further down rungs of the ascension ladder, huge upheavals, illnesses, relationship challenges, job losses, and the like could be felt, as these symptoms are common in the beginning stages of ascension.

There is no judgment here, as we are all precisely where we had planned on being before we were born this time around. We agreed at our soul levels that we would each hold a space for a particular time and for a particular reason, all in divine and perfect order. So although some of us decided to be the way-showers and go first, others also agreed to lag behind a bit in order to hold things together at the lower levels for the sake of many others on the planet.

So then, some are completely free and clear, ready and waiting on that new shore, and others are experiencing great challenges in regard to waking up and re-aligning their energies. If we decide to stay here in the physical and be reborn, then we also decide to do what is needed to catch up and match the new frequency on the planet.

This dramatic and at times mournful time in regard to the massive re-birth cannot be changed. It is simply a part of ascending. Re-births usually accompany endings. So then, there are massive endings as well. What is occurring right at this moment is a seeming hovering or limbo with some of the energies as well. Physical recoveries in regard to illness are very slow, much is slow to manifest in regard to the new, as the supports we need cannot arrive until the new souls arrive in their new spaces, and so forth.

My father is hovering with his leukemia. Not getting any better, but not getting worse either while he continues to receive countless blood transfusions in order to stabilize him while he completes his internal process. He is still struggling to open and re-align his energies with the new, and cannot seem to see what his life will be about with so much now gone for him. And yet others are healing and growing, while strange synchronicities are supporting them in giving them exactly what they need to support them in their process of opening and expanding, if they are only willing to surrender and know that their ego selves cannot be at the helm in a higher vibrating reality.

On this note, let it be known that although there are many of us who cannot “go back” and continue to hold up the energies of the old during this time, we can help by referring those in need to appropriate healers and entities that are specifically designed for this purpose. In this way, we are indeed helping, but only from a distance. I continue to receive information for others via strange synchronicities, in regard to who or what can help them, and it is then by passing this information along that I can assist, instead of my prior experience of being the one to do the helping and assisting myself.

Things are indeed progressing, but it is only by way of one soul at a time. Basically, there has been a massive re-aligning and re-birth process occurring, and it is creating what appears to be darkness and pain, hopelessness and despair. But in reality, this is what the process looks like when most of everyone is being affected, instead of just the way-showers.

Patience is needed, because although we may feel that “what is the excuse this time?” for yet another delay, we must know that a massive amount of energy is being moved at this time. The souls who were not yet ready are experiencing extreme discomfort, and our love, understanding, awareness, and patience is what is needed now. Remember when we went through all these discomforts at the beginning of our process? We have been there.

There were several individuals in my arena over the past few months with whom I had made subtle and gracious suggestions as to a possible solution to their dilemmas, or to what they might do about being stuck, but they all felt that they knew what they were doing and could not be swayed. Now, each and every one of them is utilizing these suggestions (even though they came to their own conclusions, as should be) as the gentle tap on the shoulder suddenly became a bulldozer of immense force. And this is how it now is. Everyone and everything is being put in its new place. So although many souls are stuck, they are also preparing for movement as well.

Because we are holding so much more light and higher vibrating energy now, we must also know that we are, as always, the ultimate creators. In this way, waiting for something to get better or to save us via arriving from an outside celestial event, and giving away our power to something outside of us, without doing our internal aligning, will never work. It is much better, if possible, to feel OK no matter what is occurring around us, or to at least know that no matter how things unfold, or rather how the process manifests, it will be OK with us. Being in the moment with no agenda, even though I frequently report to you what the agenda is, is always a good thing. The planned outcome or agenda is always there, but the path to the outcome is always open to choice and a variety of differing manifestations.

Will things ever get better? Of course. And these recent manifestations are only proof that things are indeed shifting in a massive way. As the energies within all souls begin to arrive in their new spaces, we will very naturally be freed up and supported in our new spaces as well. So even though some of us may be very aware of what our new roles and new spaces are all about, and may be feeling that they may never arrive, we must know that indeed they will. We need not change our plans, as we are only being asked to be patient now, as all, as always, is indeed in divine and perfect order.

With much love and gratitude,
Karen

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

From The Ascension Primer:

The Ascension Symptoms

Have you ever been in the middle of a compelling
conversation and suddenly you could not remember or access
the simplest of words or names? Do you find yourself eating
several times a day, as your blood sugar levels feel as though
they are plummeting? Have you had periods where you could
not sleep all night or maybe awakened regularly between 2 and
4 a.m...or also had periods where you slept like a log all night
and during the day could not keep your eyelids open?
Or perhaps you intermittently experience overwhelming
feelings of no sense of place. Ever looked in the mirror and
not know who in the world you are looking at? Have you had
periods of time where you have lost all your passion, felt
deflated and lethargic, could not muster up the energy to do a
thing, and simply did not care anymore?

If you have experienced any of these scenarios, you are most
certainly not alone. For most of us, the ascension symptoms
are perhaps the most universal, yet at the same time, the most
baffling and frightening as well. With no frame of reference for
what we are experiencing, we may even feel that we are
developing some kind of mental disorder, or really losing it. In
fact, this is basically true, as we are losing it! We are losing all
the denser and lower vibrating aspects of ourselves.

Many times going to a doctor can prove futile as the
mainstream medical community has not seen and has no
reference for most of these symptoms. The majority of the
time, the symptoms eventually go away on their own without
any kind of treatment. But there are also times when seeing a
doctor can be beneficial as well. And always remember, that
not all our strange and uncomfortable physical, mental, and
spiritual maladies can be attributed to ascension symptoms.
Sometimes a cigar is simply just a cigar.

Although the ascension symptoms vary from individual to
individual, many of them are fairly universal. If you are having
a strange symptom or experience that is not listed here, you
are not alone. Each of us is wired differently and will
experience this rapid and intense process according to who we
are, how we view things, what we believe, and how connected
and open we are to Source and the higher dimensions.

What we believe determines how we run our energy. The filter
that we run our energy through, or what we are about, will
greatly affect and determine our ascension process. One of
the greatest and easiest things we can do to promote a gentler
ascension process is to not take things personally. This
process cannot be avoided. We agreed to it because we knew
we could handle it, and we are all in this together. Nothing is
attacking you personally. You are not being abandoned,
stomped on, ignored, or punished. You have not done anything
wrong. You are not a bad person. On the contrary, you are
having this experience because of the grand and exquisite
person that you are! Your bravery, strength, and dedication
are very highly revered by every living thing in the universe.
This monumental experience of ascension is a unique,
powerful, and amazing experience that is paving the way for all
others to follow. By breaking the new ground, you are making
things much easier for all who come after you. Bless you...as
you are truly divine.

And know that as you progress through your ascension
process, your inner child and your ego begin to diminish. In
this way, the process becomes much, much easier as time goes
on. You will arrive at a place, if you haven't already, where
you will be able to simply observe what is going on within you
from the outside. "Oh, another symptom is here," you may
think or "here comes another energy surge!" As the ascension
process is so on-going, you will eventually become so familiar
with all its' aspects that it is really no big deal anymore. As
you hobble around half dead, you get used to it (smile)! And
you will come to learn that it will not kill you. You may be
dying while you are alive and may feel downright strange and
uncomfortable at times, but these feelings always pass. And
as we are so gradually moving into all the feel good energy
and feel good states of being, things get better and better. In
the beginning, our density and the density of the planet is
being broken up and moving out. Because it is up and around
us, this is all we see and experience for awhile. But it gets
better and better... and we have made so much progress
already! In the end you will find that it is all worth it.

Generally speaking, our bodies, minds, and spirits are going to
higher levels. They are losing their density. In order to "die"
or go to a higher dimension where the frequencies are much
higher, one has to "fit". You can't put a square peg into a
round hole. And you can't squeeze a dense blob of energy
through a delicate screen. While making this amazing
transition into the higher realms while in a physical body, much
is taking place as we are transmuting, so to speak. And as we
raise our frequencies higher and higher (lighter matter vibrates
at a higher rate), we are at times here in this old 3D reality and
at times in a higher dimension.

In the higher dimensions, things are very different. We aren't
used to being there while we are still inhabiting our old 3D
vehicle, with an old 3D mind and way of thinking. And the
physical level is always the last to be affected and to change
when any kind of change occurs. And much change is
occurring!

So then, our bodies are transmuting and becoming lighter and
lighter and purer and purer. This can cause many various
physical aches and pains as anything vibrating lower (especially
old traumas and injuries or even unbalanced health situations)
feel it the most. When the higher energy moves in, and we are
receiving higher and higher energy every day, it affects
anything that is of a lower vibration. And the lower the
vibration, the more it is felt.

Our minds are beginning to see new realities and higher ways
of being and living through this process. As the layer of
density that has clouded our thinking becomes thinner and
thinner, it is as if we gain great clarity and insights and can
finally see what really is...and at times, we may not know
where we are! Through this process, our emotions are also
affected. When we suddenly begin to open, it can be quite
dramatic and quite unfamiliar to us. And our spirits are
becoming closer and closer to Source as we begin to remember
what it is all about. Heightened levels of love, caring,
and gratitude are some of the aspects of the ascension process
that I enjoy the most.

Because we are returning to Source and the original purified
version of our souls, much is involved in the undoing process.
What an exciting adventure and wild ride it is!

2. Thanks, Dream!

In a way, this fits in so very well with a dream I had late last week. On Monday, while walking, I realized what that dream meant ("Wait!" was a word that came through very clearly). The waiting, though, is the hardest part. And it's been a freaking roller coaster ride (and not all of it can be laid at the feet of menopause :)).

3. Thank you for posting, Dream

And there it is--exactly what we've been talking about here: "What is occurring right at this moment is a seeming hovering or limbo with some of the energies as well."

Plus one of our esteemed ASAHers just said something about having to wait for others to reach critical mass--spot on, apparently! PC was right--we do need to trust our own instincts more.

I must admit that even though Karen said there's no judgment as to how far along we all are, I did get a bit miffed that it seems the eclipses whomped me because I'm not as advanced as others! Ah, ego!
:rofl:

Here's hoping we all get "on the same page" or "detach the sidecar" as Rick said. It's time to GET MOVING! :hi:
