I woke from a dream in which some were leaving the planet and others were staying.  It was my time, and I could leave.  I didn’t want to, thinking how much I love the earth and being human.
 
After writing my dream down in my dream journal, I knew there was a term for a Christian prophecy my dream seemed to represent.
 
Searching on Google, I found it: the rapture. 
 
There’s much debate about it, but basically it is a part of the end times prophecies in the New Testament, foreshadowed in the Old Testament.  The simplest interpretation of this prophecy is that believers and followers of Christ suddenly leave the planet (to happily ever after) and non-believers remain (to suffer and be punished). 
 
The rapture - where those chosen ascend to the sky in their physical bodies or suddenly disappear - is dismissed by most Christian sects.  However, it is entangled with more common prophecies like Judgment Day and the Second Coming of Christ.
 
Prophecy is challenging, for it is filled with symbols and fuzzy lines, and subject to many interpretations. 
 
At this time on Earth, the shift in consciousness occurring means that we literally are integrating our higher selves, our souls that reside in 5th dimensional consciousness and beyond, with our physical bodies.  The term “ascension process” is often used to describe this choice.  One way can ascend is by literally leaving our bodies, aka dying a physical death, which is an absolutely fine choice. 
 
What is available now is to connect completely and consciously with our souls while in a physical body.  Historically, this was available to only the few, now known as ascended masters, such as Buddha or Jesus. 
 
I had another dream recently in which I was in a group of people standing in a circle around a spiritual teacher.  He wore layers of natural clothing, such as an oatmeal colored linen robe tied with a rope.  We had put some kind of mixture on our faces that I knew would give me a tan afterward.  It burned a bit.  My face was also covered by a cloth whose thick fibers were rough and spread apart.  It hurt to speak, as the fibers cut into my face, and I kept my eyes closed, as if to follow protocol. 
 
As the teacher walked away, I followed him with a question as I was trying to peel off the mixture on my face painfully, like you would the layer of skin that peels away from a bad sunburn. 
 
The teacher looked upset, as if sad, disappointed and confused.  He said, “I don’t understand why people think they need to suffer in the name of spirituality.”
 
I woke and had a Buddhist word in my head, recognizing it but needed to look it up to make sure, as my brain is filled with too many years of education. 

The word was, “bodihisattva.”
 
A bodhisattva is a Sanskrit term and compound word.  “Bohi” means spiritual awakening or enlightenment and “sattva” means a being, essence or spirit.  A bodhisattva is an ordinary human like you and me, motivated by pure compassion, and committed to enlightenment and the path of awakening for the benefit of all of humanity.
 
My bodhisattva guide clearly reminded me how the path of awakening, of remembering who we truly are, is much different than in the past.  Our beloved ancestors provide us blueprints and wisdom along the way, and we no longer need to suffer in the name of spirituality and being contribution to the world.  In the past, the path to enlightenment often included renouncement of the body and physical world, whether through fasting, self-torture, vows of poverty or abstaining from sex.
 
The game has changed. 
 
It involves, first and foremost, living in and expanding from the heart.  The energy or consciousness of divine love is also called Christ consciousness.  It is non-religious, devoid of dogma or judgment. 
 
The path of enlightenment, of awakening to our divine nature, is now a process of integrating our spirits into our bodies, as opposed to renouncing the body and physical world.  The physical structure of our bodies and the earth are literally changing into a crystalline form, a world in which we can live awake and aware of our divine nature.   The ascension process is a bit of a misnomer, as ascension implies upward and outward and our process now is integrating inward, consciously living as spirits in bodies.
 
As we consciously unite our spirits with our bodies, we are all also interconnected in an indescribable way called unity consciousness.  Once we attempt to describe this unity, we have separated ourselves from it.  At the same time, we each literally live in our own unique experience or dimension.  No one ever will have the same exact experience as you.  That is what makes each of us so unique and important on this Earth.  
 
Masses of people, such as in the rapture prophecy, are literally living in different worlds more and more.  Yes, some may choose to leave the planet entirely.  For those that stay, some may live in a world of chaos, pain, destruction and violence.  Others live in a world of unity, love, abundance and joy, despite any experience.  In Christian terms, one is hell, the other heaven.  In many ways, we must “die” to who we think we are (our minds and egos) as well as what we think reality to be.
 
If you’re reading this, you probably oscillate between those worlds, as we walk the path of integrating and creating New Earth.  New Earth is Christ Consciousness, literally the second coming spoke of in the bible.  One definition of Christ out of Merriam-Webster’s dictionary is, “an ideal type of humanity.”  Christed, or crystalline, consciousness is pure love, compassion and light, and is in each of us and in everything.  
 
Be aware that as the ease of connecting to your true divine self and vibrations of love, peace and unity increases, so does the energy of doubt, fear, separation and lack. 
 
The collective consciousness right now, the group energy or planetary thought body of humanity, resides primarily in the denser energies of fear.  This is why if you are choosing to be a part of the shift in consciousness of the planet, you must be dedicated to consciously choosing, moment by moment, where to align your energy and awareness. 
 
So, my beloveds, you need not fear.  You have choice! You may freely walk any path you choose.  I offer this as a way to increase your awareness and choice to love yourself and trust the process amidst anything you are feeling, thinking, experiencing or witnessing.  Honor your own experience and bless others, no matter how different their reality may seem from yours.  Live from your heart, love fiercely, and trust that All is truly Well.
