Greetings. We are joyful to be here to talk with you today! We in The Oneness have walked beside you throughout  your lifetimes on Earth, so we know your journey. While it may not feel true to all of you, understand this: we know and love each one of you. We celebrate your growth and your victories, and we mourn your pain when you experience setbacks and losses. And regardless of whether you are experiencing victory, growth, setback, or stagnancy, we cradle you in our unconditional love and support.
 
Each of these paths you walk – whether you are growing, staying where you are, or stumbling backwards, are doing the important work of the Soul. You are doing the hard work of being human, and when you are ready, you can turn to us and we will provide guidance and support on your journey. Each of you has this capacity – to hear our words and share them in your incarnated world. We invite you to make space in your life to hear guidance from The Collective and put it to work in your human experience. And, if you discover something that enriches you and helps you grow, we invite you to share it with your fellow travelers on the human journey.
 
Back in January as you entered 2020, you celebrated it as a year of clear sight, one in which you could gain more clarity about who you were as humanity. In that moment, you did not understand that events to come would, indeed, cause the scales to fall from your eyes so you could enjoy clearer vision. And if you had understood what events would transpire in the year to come, many of you might have chosen to stay back instead of embarking on this essential journey for humanity.
 
2020 has shined a spotlight on who you are as humans. Many have decided you are satisfied with your reflection in the mirror of the year’s events. If that is the conclusion you have reached, then we honor it as where you need to be on your current path, and our unconditional love and support for you remains intact. Others, however, and more of you each day, have come to recognize that humanity as a whole is ripe for change and ready for evolution. For those who are coming to recognize this, we honor, love, and support you as well.
 
We want you to understand that the way forward is to embrace the reflection you see of yourself in the mirror that is 2020, because it is as clear of a reflection as you will ever see. In your rawness and pain at all that has happened in your world, you have stripped yourselves bare, and now it is up to you to determine whether all that you have recently been required to set aside will serve you moving forward, or whether you will find another way.
 
After all, your journey is always up to you. You can rebuild everything that 2020 has stripped away exactly as it was before if that is your desire. Or, you can re-evaluate each thing that has been misplaced or changed and rebuild it in new ways that support all of humanity with due care for the most vulnerable among you.
 
The events of 2020 have affected all sectors of your embodied lives: your economic systems, your environmental policies, your medical systems, your educational systems, your politics, the way you treat one another – the list goes on and on. All of these things have been stripped away and what’s left standing is you; souls embodied in human lives that were for so long caught up in the illusion of incarnation that you disconnected from each other and turned away from Source. And you can choose to continue that disconnection moving forward, but we urge you to look into the eyes and breathe the breath of your fellow traveling souls and instead of asking, “What serves me?” ask, “What serves us?” We invite you with your new, clearer vision, to step away from me and instead focus on we, because life on your planet is a collective creation, not an individual one.
 
Nothing is the same as it was when you ushered in the New Year of 2020. You feel as if you have lost much, and we understand and resonate with your grief about all that has passed from your lives. However, you have an opportunity in your life to approach things in a new way using a beginner’s mind.
 
You have been granted fresh eyes. What you once knew has passed; you are here, now, and everything is new. And that novelty, while it may feel frightening or devastating, allows you a freedom that you may never have experienced before in your current incarnation. You have the freedom to create a new embodied experience, one that is sustainable, joyful, loving, compassionate, and supportive of all of your fellow travelers. You have the opportunity to view everything with fresh eyes, novel minds, and hopeful, compassionate hearts, setting aside lifetimes of conditioning about how you and everyone else should look, think, feel, act, believe, and choose. Can you feel the freedom that this offers? We invite you to embrace that feeling and begin your creation anew.
 
We have much more that we could say, but for now we will leave it here. We love you deeply and we walk beside you. We are countless and we are One, and each of you is a part of us that has set off on an incredible journey. In the depths of your joy or in the depths of your despair, we are here offering unconditional support and love.

Recently, The Georges asked me to invite questions from readers for The Georges to answer. Some of the questions I received were personal in nature, and The Georges kindly answered those and suggested I reach out privately with their answers to those people who asked the questions. The Q&A below are more general in nature with answers that can benefit all who read them. To those of you who sent questions, thank you!
------------------------
BEGIN CHANNELED Q&A

Greetings! We are pleased that some of you have answered our invitation for a question and answer session. We wish you to know that those of us in the realm of the absolute are always here for you and wish to help you to understand your paths as embodied humans more clearly. We are always here to answer questions you have – either in a forum such as this or individually.
 
Each of you has the tools to hear us, and we are always just a thought away. If you have trouble discerning our guidance in your waking lives, then try asking us your questions just before you sleep. We will answer in your dreams if you have the intention to have your questions answered and allow yourselves to receive the information.
 
Why can’t I let go of past trauma? I’ve been trying for years but always seem to navigate back to depression and negativity. I’m recently diagnosed bi-polar but am not on medication for it yet. Had a stress induced seizure and heart issue in mid-June.
 
Hello Carin. Thank you for reaching out to us. Please feel our love and support as you struggle with trauma and depression. Your question is an especially important one considering the current circumstances your world – and especially the United States – finds itself in.
 
Negativity is a place of comfort for many humans because it’s easier to remain in negativity than to find a source of hope. And even though negativity feels uncomfortable, it also feels safe because if you don’t allow yourself to hope or try to remain in a positive state, you also don’t risk losing anything or being further traumatized if the outcome doesn’t match your expectations.
 
We have talked about being trauma-identified in past channelings. Trauma-identification sets in when humans forget who they truly are. It provides a form of self-identification that is then reinforced by your society in multiple ways. One of the main ways that this is reinforced is in the push to “get over” trauma as quickly as possible. That push to get over it disallows your feeling of the full experience of the trauma and the lessons and experiences that come with that. Instead, it creates a sense of low-grade, ongoing trauma that you start to identify with because it’s always there in the back of your mind since you’ve never fully processed it. In this way, your energy becomes about the trauma, which takes up the space that could be filled instead with love.
 
The way to release trauma is to allow yourself to experience its emotional after-effects fully without a timeline of how quickly you “should” get over it. Most humans are uncomfortable and unwilling to sit with the feelings generated by the trauma, as you have a belief that you must put on a brave face. In fact, the opposite is true. When you allow yourself the full feeling associated with the trauma…when you wail and weep and wrench your clothing, you allow the full flower of the experience so it clears more quickly instead of devolving into hurt and depression.
 
The other reason humans are so likely to become trauma-identified is due to the belief, “This shouldn’t have happened to me.” This is very difficult to understand from a human perspective because you’ve forgotten who you really are as souls but believing something “shouldn’t be” is, in fact, a fallacy. There are no should or shouldn’ts in ultimate reality; should and shouldn’t are value judgments unique to the human experience. The belief that something shouldn’t have happened blocks you from understanding that every single experience happens for you…not to you. If you lean into those experiences – including the traumatic ones – and allow yourself to fully experience and express the emotions associated with them, then you will discover what it is they have come to help you experience and understand.
 
It’s never too late to process traumatic experiences. Do so in a safe space around people who support you but don’t try to block it or minimize it. Do what you have to in order for the emotions to pass. Do it for each trauma – allow them to fully flow through you so they don’t build up and become your self-identification. You are so much more than your trauma, and you have a bright light to share with the world once you’re on the other side of it. We are always here to support you in your efforts. Please allow yourself to feel our loving embrace as you process your feelings.
 
How do I know which path to take? How will I know if it is the right one?
 
Thank you for your question, Christina. Many people ask this, and the answer is deceptively simple! The path you are on is always the right path. When it is no longer the right path, you will step onto another path, which will be the right path.
 
It’s impossible to be on the right path. So play. Have fun. If you feel good, the path is right. If you feel bad, perhaps you might want to try another path? It’s okay to wander off on another interesting path for a while, and then another, and then another. There’s no straight line to heaven. You’re here to experience and relate. That’s your path, and you can’t do it the wrong way.
 
How can we help overcome the divide which is occurring in humanity as empaths? How should we develop our gifts to best support this time of transition?
 
Thank you for your masterful question, Sonia. We appreciate the spirit in which it was posed.
 
Right now, you have plenty of opportunity to re-prioritize and sit with your feelings. You have more time now than ever to just “be”. This is by design. Your society needed to slow down so you could re-member who you truly are, and so you could hold space for all humans to “re-member”; that is, to join together for your commonalities instead of allowing your differences to divide you.
 
As to how can you come together and develop your skills? Simply be exactly who you are! Your peace and your love will hold space for those who can’t get there right now. Instead of commenting on the divide or getting upset about it, send it loving energy. Be the calm in the storm. Allow people to see who you are, and if they ask where your calm comes from, share it with them. As more humans do this, things will begin to shift and change. Love is your biggest “weapon” against what is happening, which is the result of fear.
 
We also urge you to follow your curiosity. Your curiosity is a signal from your soul that it is time to learn or develop something new. So, if there is something that sounds interesting to you, learn more about it. Find other humans who can serve as resources. Ask the universe for guidance, and the guidance will appear. Likewise, be a resource to other humans who are curious about what you know and what your special gifts are. Share those with all who ask, because your Light is important, and you have as much to share and teach as you have to learn.
 
Also remember this: One way or another, love will always prevail. Everything else is temporary, but love is infinite. It is the underlying force of the universe. It is the underlying structure of everything you currently perceive as reality, even the stuff that doesn’t feel loving. Allow the love. Sit with the love. Radiate the love. That is how you heal yourself, and this is how you heal the world.
 
There’s a situation and I know I’m right. The other person denies what I know/feel to be true. How do I know if my intuition is off? Can it ever be off?
 
Hello Heather. We understand your question and again, our answer is deceptively simple. There is no right or wrong. There is only right now. Your perception of “reality” doesn’t have to match anyone else’s. You can both be right, even if your experiences and beliefs are diametrically opposed, because your life in a human body is an illusion. It is a manifestation of what the pure love that is your eternal soul has decided will best serve you as you seek to experience the all of everything in duality. In another life or in another time, your “right” may be the exact opposite of what you’re experiencing as being “right” in this moment.
 
Trust your intuition. It exists to guide you. Trust is one of your main lessons in this lifetime. You have many “reasons” why you believe you can’t and shouldn’t trust based on your human experiences in this lifetime, but we promise that you can. Trust yourself.
 
How do I connect to spirit to know/hear my guides? Feeling uncertain of my path and looking for guidance.
 
Thank you for asking us, Kari. Your guides are with you always. They speak to you in dreams, in experiences, and in emotions. They often sound just like your own thoughts, only more persistent, so it’s easy to write it off as your imagination or wishful thinking. However, know this. When you ask, we answer. We always answer, but it’s human nature to not always want the answer you receive or recognize that it is an answer.
 
It’s normal to the human condition to feel uncertain of your path. However, we refer you to our answer above: you can’t do it wrong. Specifically with you, answers come in your dreams and confirmations come in signs. Try asking a specific question before you sleep or asking for a specific sign while you are awake. Then, keep your eyes, ears, and heart open. The universe is whispering to you. You are aware the signs are there and the answers are being delivered. Now, you just need to trust that you are, indeed, receiving the answers to every question you ask.
 
Do the George’s think that through this pandemic and political power that humans will learn or understand that all is connected and start loving Mother Earth and each other so we can all live more in harmony? It worries me personally that humans just don’t get it and we keep doing our bad habits instead of everyone putting in their part... and taking care of our planet, the heartbeat of our life!
 
Your concern for Gaia is deeply felt, Jayme. It is our deepest desire that the current circumstances associated with the political climate and the pandemic is a source of awakening for humans. And for many, it is. Because of what is happening in your world, and specifically in your country, it has become evident to more humans than ever before that what you are currently doing does not serve you, your fellow human beings, other forms of consciousness that inhabit Gaia with you, and Gaia herself.
 
In your human conceptualization of space-time, this may all seem to be occurring at a pace that is painfully slow, but please let us assure you that a shift is, indeed, occurring. Currently, the loudest voices are those who are caught up in fear and anger, but those humans who are choosing love grow in number every day, and love – even quietly expressed or simply held in a pure heart such as yours – is infinitely more powerful than hate and fear.
 
Hold space for love in the quietude of your hearts. Recognize even in those who appear to divide with the politics of anger and fear are merely blustering in the same way a frightened dog barks and snaps at those he perceives as a threat. They are striking out because they know life as an embodied human as they know it is shifting forever. What you are seeing is the final push back of old energy; and ultimately it will be powerless in the face of love. Whether humanity shifts or eliminates itself from Gaia altogether is ultimately up to all of you, but we see more light now than there has been in all of the succeeding waves of humanity.
 
Our greatest hope is for you to ultimately partner with all forms of embodied consciousness including Gaia to bring about the shift to the Fourth Wave without interruption to humanity’s inhabitation of Gaia. And while it may seem contrary to what’s happening, you are on track for this to happen. As to how you can contribute and help to maintain this track: be love. Hold space for those who can’t. Humanity is not yet in a place where shift is easy and comes without discomfort, but the more of you who sit in a space of love and set aside the anger and fear of politics and pandemics, the more quickly and painlessly the shift will occur. In the meantime, we are here to support you in your efforts.
 
Thank you for your questions! We honor each of you who has asked either through a forum such as this one or in the silence of your hearts. We have great hope for humanity. We ask you to remain in a peaceful and loving space. We urge you to not allow yourself to be baited by fear, hurt, and anger that tries to pull you away from this place of peace. The answer to everything is love. Love those you agree with. Love those you disagree with. Love those who anger you, frighten you, hurt you, and even hate you. Love the soul, even if it is difficult to understand the path, actions, or positions of the human that soul inhabits. We are with you every step of the way.

-BEGIN CHANNELED MESSAGE_

Greetings! We are honored to be able to talk to you today. In recent weeks, we have stepped back and observed, but today we have a necessary message for you.
 
We feel it is time for us to tell you something extremely important. Humanity is at a critical juncture, where either outcome is equally possible, especially in the place you call the United States. What is this tipping point? You can become the tools of your own salvation, or you can become the tools of your destruction. Both are equally possible, but it is up to you to decide what you will be. You get to choose how everything plays out and where you go as a society and as a species.
 
It’s now up to you to decide what is more important to you. Think of it like this: It’s like the game called “would you rather”, but the answers to the questions are more important than ever. Would you rather cling to systems that no longer serve you and enrich a few, while leaving the rest of humanity picking at crumbs, or would you rather recognize the inherent compassionate social contract that comes from being citizens of universe that is all One? Would you rather do only what you want and deny fellow humans the dignity of having basic human rights, or would you rather reach across what feels like a huge philosophical divide and recognize the inherent dignity and humanity of even those whose thoughts, experiences, and beliefs are entirely different from yours? Would you rather do things only for yourselves, or would you rather reach out your hands to your brothers who are struggling? Would you rather live in your individual and collective trauma-identification, or would you rather break free of past trauma in order to grow through your resilience, joy, and tenacity?
 
These are the choices that are facing you. One of the biggest things keeping your destructive cycles from becoming fully productive is your species’ propensity for trauma-identification. Your society rewards trauma-identification, or the inclination of humans to dwell in the worst things that have happened to them instead of the best. And certainly, trauma plays an important role in the human condition. Trauma is a shared experience; all humans encounter various forms of trauma throughout your embodiment in human bodies.  Shared and individual trauma ignite compassion, and for those who experience it as you all do, they also provide the deepest and most significant opportunities for growth.
 
However, a quirk of being human, especially for those still in Third Wave Energy (although Fourth Wave Energy is not exempt from this powerful social construct) receive a great deal of social capital for remaining partially in the trauma instead of using it as an impetus to accelerate your growth. And make no mistake: trauma identification is a form of clinging to the past.
 
So how does an individual or a group become trauma-identified? When the trauma occurs, you receive support and compassion from others regarding that trauma, but only for a short period. Eventually, people get cause fatigue and move on, and in turn, you are encouraged both through invisible and overt social pressure to “get over it.” This implied pressure keeps you from  allowing yourself to fully feel and experience your emotions surrounding your trauma. Instead, you suppress your discomfort in order to make your trauma socially acceptable to others, and in doing so, you become stuck in those unhealthy emotions. Thus, you never allow yourself to fully move through the discomfort that arises from all of the painful emotions surrounding your trauma, and you begin to carry them with you in the catalog of damage you keep with you in the backs of your consciousness at all times. And the longer this happens, the more you identify with the worst things that have happened to you instead of the strengths you gained from those worst things. And then, ultimately, you begin to see yourselves as the negative product of your trauma. Instead of overcoming the trauma and moving forward in strength, you become trauma-identified, reliving the half-emotions you’ve allowed yourself while never fulling sitting with the discomfort of the painful emotions the trauma originally wrought.
 
If you hear nothing else we tell you today, please hear this: by not allowing yourself to sit with the original discomfort, you are preventing your own healing. By not sitting with the discomfort of any type of pain, whether it comes from trauma or uncomfortable truths, you are making the choice to remain in old energy, and you can’t re-fill a vessel that is already full. If you wish to make space for new energy, you MUST first release the old energy, and by remaining trauma-identified, you will never make a space for the new energy to fill.
 
It may seem contradictory that in order to release old energy, you must allow yourself the full experience of painful emotions, but it is nonetheless true. Emotions come to you for a reason, and it’s up to you to allow yourself the experience of them. When you fail to sit with the discomfort, put on a cheerful face, and go about your day, you are denying yourself the space in which to allow the trauma to serve as an impetus for growth instead of an ongoing source of pain and self-identification. Nobody enjoys pain, and the natural propensity of humans is to deny it completely or move away from it as quickly as possible, and this works at cross-purposes to your true nature, which is to grow, change, and progress from both your painful and your joyful experiences.
 
But there is beauty and purpose in sitting with uncomfortable truths and feelings. In the beginning as you sit with pain, all you may feel is excruciating discomfort. However, as you allow your painful emotions to move through you at full intensity, what happens is that little by little light and enlightenment begin to enter. And eventually, as the light overtakes the darkness of the pain, the process of transformation begins as well.
 
Trauma always carries with it the seeds of transformation. But in not allowing the full experience of emotion in the aftermath of the trauma, instead of watering those seeds and giving them light, you allow them to lay fallow because there is no space in which they can reach full flower. And the longer you deny and suppress powerful emotions, the more you become trauma-identified instead of allowing you space to emerge from your dark cocoon as a new creation of light, color, and beauty.
 
Finally, we offer you this. After darkness comes great light. However, you can’t appreciate the light without first allowing yourselves the full experience of darkness. If nighttime only offered a faded wash of gray instead of total blackness, then you would never appreciate the beauty of a rising sun. And if nighttime only existed as a faded wash of gray, you’d never experience the glory of the heavens with their twinkling stars that exist as a reminder of the light even in your darkest moments.
 
We love you, we support you, and we are cheering you on. When you return Home, regardless of what happened when you were embodied, we will rejoice with you at all that you have accomplished.

Karen’s Note: I started the post below as a post from me, and partway through, The George Collective broke in. I was concerned that my message would distract from theirs, but ultimately I decided to leave them together since that is how the interaction occurred. If you don't wish to read my thoughts, please feel free to scroll down to the channeled message. 
______________________________
I have been asking for guidance and sitting in silence and listening. I seldom discuss politics because I understand that we all have different experiences that shape what we believe needs to occur in the world and who/what are the best people and laws to bring about that vision of the world in which we'd like to live. But in my opinion, what is happening currently with the Black Lives Matter movement is not a political issue: It is a human issue. This is about us as humanity, how we choose to interact with one another, and how we choose to be in the world as embodied spirits.

Saying something on social media without putting action behind it is nothing more than virtue signaling, and I don't wish to contribute to the empty noise of virtue signaling without also searching my soul to understand how I contribute to racism either consciously or unconsciously. It is important to me to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. If I leave my own shadows unexamined, I will remain part of the problem instead of the solution.
 
These are the things I know to be true for me. I stand with Black Lives Matter. I can feel the pain of a system built on the oppression of virtually all who do not fit within the very narrow qualifications for this country’s ruling elite consisting of wealthy, white, straight, cisgender males. And, I understand that while this affects every person of color, every human whose gender identity isn’t male, every human who isn’t straight, and every person who is a member oppressed populations, I also recognize that in the United States, the heaviest burden of the oppression falls on our Black population.
 
I am a cisgender white woman (named Karen, no less) with education and privilege. While I can empathize with the deep pain, fear, and anger that Black Americans must feel, I know that those emotions for those reasons are not mine to claim; it is an experience I can only try to understand in the abstract because it is outside of my personal awareness. As a woman, I can relate to oppression. However, as a white person, I have never had to fear for my own life or the lives of my family that simply comes from being Black in America.
 
I also understand that our deeply ingrained oppression of minorities in this country provides me and my family advantages that we have all benefitted from in the past and will continue to benefit from as long as the structures and systems in America remain unbalanced. Throughout my life, I have happily accepted those advantages without looking deeply at who might be suffering while I was receiving.
 
Additionally, I acknowledge the deep cognitive dissonance white people like me must be feeling right now - those of us who have never felt we were racist but who have also not examined as deeply as we should how we might benefit from systemic racism even if we feel we have never done anything to actively participate in it. Cognitive dissonance is a deeply uncomfortable feeling, but in order to ease the suffering of others, we can no longer try to resolve it by justifying away our causal acceptance of our privilege. Instead, we must lean into the cognitive dissonance and examine our own shadows in order to recognize that complacency and comfort is what has allowed the depth of oppression to remain as intractable as it is for so long in our country and around the world.

BEGIN CHANNELED MESSAGE
 
Greetings. We have an urgent message to share with you today, and we ask that as much as you can, you set aside your tumultuous feelings and go within as you read our message in order to feel it in your hearts. Step outside of your mind and listen, instead, with your soul in order to hear the truth of what we wish to tell you.
 
Oppression arises from the beliefs of “us and them”, “we and they”, “self and other”. The goal of the Third Wave of Humanity was to deeply forget your common Source in order to experience duality, but the consciousness of humanity is shifting from Third Wave “I-centered” thinking to Fourth Wave “we-centered” living. While you will retain your sense of individuality in the Fourth Wave, you will also regain some of your remembrance of the collective Oneness of all beings that inhabit Gaia with you.
 
As you have come to understand in 2020 (which has a numerology of four that matches with the shift into the Fourth Wave of Humanity and moves you into a more compassionate, heart-centered way of relating to all on Gaia), this shift from Third Wave Energy to Fourth Wave Energy will not come without growing pains. This is what you are currently experiencing.
 
There are those who are deeply entrenched in their I-ness and will continue to be. These people will likely remain unwilling to make the shift, and there will continue be societal uprisings that are the natural result of the shifting of energetic circumstances. Please be aware, however, that as these uprisings are reported, there is very little ‘clean’ information you will receive, because your current press remains mostly under the control of those entrenched in Third Wave Energy.  Please also keep in mind that Third Wave Energy is neither ‘good’ nor ‘bad’, nor is Fourth Wave Energy. They are simply manifestations of energetic circumstances that support humanity’s movement towards re-membering with the Oneness, and each Wave of Energy plays an invaluable role in this process.
 
Your media is paid for and owned by elites who currently hold the majority of the world’s power and resources. Those elites will use every resource they have to fight to maintain the current power and energetic structures. This includes paying for disruptors in the uprisings to generate chaos and confusion while obfuscating the deep truth of cries and acts of pain, fear, and outrage by the oppressed. It also includes paying for the spread of propaganda and misinformation through the media outlets, political parties, and politicians they control.
 
Understand that even media you believe is trustworthy may not be; we have warned you of the misuse of the media in the past, and we wish to remind you that this remains true and will continue to remain true throughout the shift from Third Wave to Fourth Wave Energy. Therefore, trust your inner guidance. Shut off the media and question everything. Talk to people who are oppressed and listen to their voices. Hear what they have to say about their experience without judgment; listen with love and compassion in your heart.
 
Then, go quiet and go within. Hear what your soul has to tell you. Listen deeply and compassionately. Quiet the noise of your mind. Quite the noise of your subjective experience and realize what you believe was your experience comes through the filters the oppressors use to maintain the illusion there is no oppression. Quiet your fear. Quiet your own outrage and pain. Simply listen and ask yourself this: “Is the heart that beats within the person that I consider ‘other’ truly any different than the heart that beats within me? Is their soul of a different Source?” When you take the time to go into your heart center and focus on those you consider ‘other’, you can begin to recognize that there is no ‘other’, and when you allow the oppression of another, you also allow your own oppression while also acting as a de facto oppressor.
 
And so, we ask you to do this instead:  Join your hearts and voices with the voices of the oppressed crying out for recognition of their pain, terror, and fury. Visualize a world in which there are not haves and have nots, understanding that under different social, economic, political, and educational systems and structures, there is enough of everything for everyone. There is no need to oppress. There is no need to hoard. There is no need to hide from the cries of the oppressed in order to continue to justify how your own choices contribute to those systems of oppression.
 
We also ask you to try to understand what keeps your deeply flawed systems and structures in place. Follow the power and the money; who benefits from the misinformation, oppression, and chaos? Notice that they operate in the shadows. They sit back in their bunkers watching the chaos they have bought and paid for in the hopes that you will destroy one another so their power base will grow. They care little about you; you are pawns in their own quest for power and advantage, and they have thrown all of their resources into turning you against one another. Your current sense of freedom is an illusion they have allowed you to maintain, but whether you know it or not, they are the masters you currently serve as they control you with money or poverty, privilege or lack thereof, advantage or disadvantage, and with fear, materialism, suspicion, xenophobia, anger, hate, and chaos. It is all misdirection that they hope will cause you to look away to other things while they continue to pursue their aggressive agenda of control and domination, and they hope that you will be so distracted you don’t notice they are doing it.
 
It is no coincidence that this has all come to a head now as your world is still trying to emerge from COVID-19. It is all part of the same set of energetic conditions created to shine light on that which has remained in the shadows of humanity for so long. Within these energetic conditions lie the seeds of awakening, should humanity choose to allow them to germinate and grow.
 
It is also no coincidence that in spite of all of those who are protesting with a peaceful and hopeful spirit to bring what lies in the shadows into light, that agents of chaos follow those with honorable and peaceful intentions to cast even deeper shadows instead of shining a light.  These conditions are related - COVID-19 and the current demonstrations and riots. While it may not seem to be true, both have shined a light on the deep, dark secrets humanity holds that the distractions of your daily lives hide. They can bring about healing, but in order to do so, you need to take a step back and recognize who is behind the chaos. Look for the beneficiaries of both; the same group of people and systems benefit from chaos of COVID-19 and the mayhem that is following the peaceful demonstrations. These people are crafty and quiet with endless resources available to continue to create chaos for as long as you allow them to remain in the shadows. And these systems are deeply entrenched and disguised as cultural "norms." Find them and shine a light on what they are doing. For the longer they are allowed to remain in the shadows, the longer it will take for humanity to make a meaningful shift into the Fourth Wave energy.
 
But make no mistake. This is where you are going. The shift is happening and will continue to happen, as critical mass has been reached. Therefore, hold the light inside. Send your energy and support to the energy that is bringing about a shift on Gaia. Certainly, shine light on the shadows in order to expose corruption but err on the side of love and compassion over fear and rage. Intention is everything here. Hold in your hearts the ideal of Oneness and love. Remember that while you are certainly experiencing the sense of separation of self and other in your current state of subjective reality, even those you judge as the “worst” among you are still part of the Oneness and are therefore not "other".
 
Remember also that this too shall pass. Everything in your earthly reality is temporary; embodied life is about the shifting of energy so it provides various experiences. Throughout your lifetimes, every one of you has been everything. You’ve been oppressor and oppressed. You’ve been rich, and you’ve been poor. You’ve been black, and you’ve been white. You’ve been male and female, cis gendered and gender fluid, healthy and ill, gay and straight, religious and atheist, conservative and liberal. And if you’ve lived lifetimes as those things but still know your soul is worthy of redemption, then understand that the people choosing to play the roles you dislike in this lifetime, those who spark your rage, fear, indignation, or hatred, are currently living lives that you once lived as well. And therefore, when you bring their shadows to the light as is necessary while humanity shifts, recognize also the need for compassion, as they are playing roles in this lifetime that have served as a catalyst for the most important shift humanity has made to date.
 
As always, we love you and honor you. We feel your fear, pain, and outrage as our own. We hear your cries and cry with you. And, we embrace you with the Light and remembrance of who you truly are. Not one among you is unloved.

Karen's note: The Georges kindly gave me some time off, and I am grateful. I was experiencing some physical effects of more fully merging my energy with theirs as I became a purer channel for them. After getting their initial messages out in a timely manner, they allowed me some time between the last message and this one to adapt to the intensity of the shift in frequency that occurs when I channel their messages.

While The Georges have been with me for years and have participated in much of my writing, in previous works before the COVID-19 channeling, their energy was much subtler. For the COVID-19 channeled messages, their energy has been full-on, and I've needed some time to physically adapt to that frequency. It's been interesting to say the least - and often challenging. However, over the past several weeks since the last message, I feel (and The Georges indicate) I've done the work necessary to fully adapt to their energy, and the messages can resume with far less physical discomfort for me. For this I am grateful, and I remain humbled that The George Collective has chosen to share their wisdom through me.

BEGIN CHANNELED MESSAGE

Greetings! We are honored to be here among you as you transition into a new way of being in the world. We know the path you currently walk is uncomfortable, but we have the greatest faith in all of you. We walk beside you and support you in your ongoing awakening.
 
Today we wish to talk to you about the concept of other, since the immersive experience of other is something that is unique to humans inhabiting Gaia in the dimension of separation and incarnation. Where we are in the Oneness – which is where you ultimately reside – there is no other except the other that we choose to create so we can play with experience.
 
Incarnated humans also create the presence of other for the purpose of exploring the experience of duality. However, the difference between the other we create and the other you encounter is this: we know and understand that other is merely a projection of self since in the All That Is, there is only One. In your dimension of separation, however, each of you who chose to incarnate on Gaia into human lifetimes also agreed to forget the Oneness in order to perceive otherness as absolute reality. We recognize other as a playful projection of self; you perceive other as something completely and utterly separate from you and existing outside of the boundary of skin that you use to complete the illusion of separation. What’s in the skin is self. What’s outside of the skin is other.
 
You chose this with good reason, and your absolute belief in other has allowed you to immerse in each incarnation as a human. Believing in other has allowed you to experience your journey through human lives as being your absolute reality. And yet we tell you this: we are not separate from you, and you are not separate from us, because there is no other. It’s a construct created from your desire for exploration outside of the absolute self you experience as the Oneness.
 
It may appear as if we talk in riddles, but that is not our intent. Instead, we are trying to communicate the concept of non-duality in the language of duality, and words are constricting. At the same time, it is our hope that in attempting to communicate concepts of Oneness to those who have chosen for a time to forget that Oneness, we will spark enough remembrance that you can begin to re-member; that is, to begin to move towards rejoining Source.
 
Other has served humanity for hundreds of thousands of years, for it is through the recognition of self and other that humanity has allowed Source to know and understand Itself better. In the First and Second Waves of Humanity, intrepid explorers had some remembrance of the Oneness that tethered them to ultimate reality. This vague remembrance of Source kept earlier Waves of Humanity from fully experiencing separation, and therefore, from completely buying into the experience of duality. Ultimately, this partial forgetting didn’t allow for the total immersion Source required to know Itself fully. So, when Source conceived of the Third Wave of Humanity, It decided to do things differently. It was only with the coming of Third Wave of Humanity that the pieces of the One agreed to incarnate into bodies with minds that had completely forgotten Oneness and Source.
 
But something unexpected happened along the way. So strong was humanity’s connection to Oneness, that as individual pieces of Source became souls inhabiting human bodies over and over again, some began to experience glimmers of remembrance. Some recalled (and continue to recall) nothing at all, but others–those you call Masters, Messiahs, and Prophets–remembered almost everything. The more frequently the individual pieces of Oneness that you call souls chose to inhabit human bodies through the process of birth, life, and death, the less they created the experience of dis-memberment from Source that comes with incarnation.
 
And so, the Third Wave of Humanity evolved with different degrees of awareness of what you perceive as self as part of the All That Is, which is Oneness. Some remember much. Some remember all. Some remember very little. And some remember nothing at all. And the Fourth Wave of Humanity, mostly young people that walk among you now, remember a great deal of Oneness while still retaining self-identification as an individual. All are appropriate and serve the highest good of Source, which is to know Itself completely through the experience of duality.
 
These constructs – self, other – they are the very basis of the duality experience that humans incarnate to understand. The construct of self and other is also the source of every “problem” humanity believes it faces. For, it is the suspicion and fear of other, which causes those who believe or mostly believe the separation is absolute, that brings about everything humans perceive as problems. If you truly understood there was no other because what you perceive as other is merely another expression of self, then you would not fight wars. You would not hoard wealth. You would not, nor could you, pollute Gaia, decimate forests, or greedily take without remediation and replacement from the consciousness that is the planet Earth.
 
And, instead of fighting and fearing this virus, which is another other that you feel is invading your species by burrowing into your bodies (your very definition of selfhood and separation), you would welcome it as a teacher. The virus has come to remind you of the cycles of birth, life, and death as necessary parts of dis-membering from and re-membering into Source.
 
The virus has also physically separated you from others because it does not respect the boundaries of skin that you all hold so dear as evidence of selfhood. And ironically (actually, by design), that physical separation has caused many of you to long for connection, reminding you that your very essence is connectedness. In this way, the virus reminds you of the Oneness from where you came by igniting a longing deep within you to return to the ebb and flow of connection and disconnection that occurs naturally among incarnated humans going about their daily lives. Said in a different way, this virus has caused you to long for the experience of other so that you can once again experience connection. 
 
As long as souls incarnate into human bodies, there will be those that believe and cling to the experience of separation as absolute. Many will continue to act in accordance with that belief and all that comes with it. For those souls, this is appropriate. However, every day something awakens in many incarnated souls inhabiting Gaia. A spark ignites that reminds them of Home and what it feels like to be in the Oneness. And as that spark grows into flames, millions begin to dream of creating an incarnated experience that isn’t quite so lonely or separate. Millions across the planet have begun to reject the artificial boundaries created by flesh and bones. Instead, they long to experience kinship with their fellow travelers. Others remember enough to long for the Oneness with all conscious beings, and they seek solutions in the world of flesh and bone that allow them to recreate what their cells remember from the ultimate reality of Source energy. All of these longings are appropriate, and all serve humanity and Source in invaluable ways.
 
We here in Source are not separate from you even though you perceive us as other. We are you, and you are us. But you are having an adventure for all of us so that we may know ourselves better through the experience of duality. And what an experience you have created for all of us! When you finally re-member, however, certain truths will immediately return to you. We are you. You are Us. Us is We. We is I. I is All That Is. All That Is is Awareness, Oneness, and Love. And you (and thus we, us, I, self, other, All That Is, and Love) have never been in danger. You’ve always been safe, you’ve never been alone, and you’ve always been deeply loved.

In the beginning there was Source. And Source was All That Is, Was, or Ever Would Be. Source knew itself as the Oneness, and the Oneness was Love. But Source longed to know Itself in new ways. Source desired to create, explore, and experience. And so, Source created Illusion. From a tiny density that was but the smallest fraction of Source energy, Illusion exploded outward, ever expanding to create the Cosmos.
 
As the Cosmos grew, expanded, and took form, Source split the Love energy of the ever- expanding Universe into a duality of polar energies. First, Source created light and dark.
 
For billions of years in the Illusion of the Cosmos, or in the blink of an eye in the Source energy, Source delighted in playing with light and dark. The energy continued to expand into sources of dark and sources of light, and all of the degrees of darkness and light in between. Not content with just dark and light, Source split and refracted the light, bending it and shaping it to form colors, shades, and shadows.  
 
When Source had played with light and dark and fully understood Itself in new ways as It related to light and dark, Source was intrigued. Now, Source moved on to other polarities, creating each new expression of Source energy, splitting it into opposite dualities and the degrees in between, and noticing how the energies could shape, form, and express so Source could know Itself better. In this time, Source created cold and hot, here and there, and this and that. And Source saw that with each opposing energy it created within Illusion, It had new opportunities to explore different parts of Itself. Through this, Source came to understand Its Isness more than It ever had before.
 
As Source explored, It also expanded that point of energy that became the Cosmos–out, out, out–placing within it sources of dark and light, and sources of land and space. What emerged in the illusion was an entire Universe in which Source was able to explore the whole of what It was by re-forming the energy into new types of consciousness made into land masses and objects and playing with them all so that Source could fully know Itself.
 
There came a time when Source was ready to explore further, and on some of the places of land, mountain, and sea, Source created new forms of consciousness. At first, these forms of consciousness were simple - organisms and plants that could grow, reproduce, adapt, evolve, and thrive. And as Source understood Itself better through these small forms of consciousness, It sought greater and greater complexity and deeper expression. And Source brought together all that It had learned to create conscious flora and fauna that thrived, evolved, grew, and experienced. And Source was happy with the knowing it provided.
 
From all that Source had created, the conditions grew for a new form of consciousness – one in which all the attributes Source energy had so eagerly explored could be present in this single form of consciousness so Source could interact with Its creations in a new way. And in this way, humanity and other similar races and species elsewhere in the Cosmos came to be, formed from all that Source had learned about Itself through Its explorations in duality.
 
At first, these complex forms of consciousness remembered they were from Source, and with the memory of Source energy fresh in their minds, they recreated the Oneness among themselves. However, Source soon desired a deeper exploration of polarities. And in this desire for deeper exploration of All that Could Be, Source created the concepts of self and others and asked those pieces of Itself that volunteered to reside within the consciousness to forget, at least temporarily, where they had come from and what the experience of Oneness felt like. And out of the love of creation and exploration, the pieces of Source that entered these complex, conscious organisms agreed to believe in the illusion, fully forgetting their Isness as a piece of Source.
 
With the concepts of self and other firmly in place in the illusion of duality, Source began to explore the polarities and their nuances through the interaction between the conscious beings that carried Its energy. These conscious beings provided new opportunities, for recognizing self and interacting with other provided an ongoing array of ways in which Source could understand every aspect of the All That Is, Was, or Ever Will Be.
 
And this is where you, the species called humanity, are now on the place of land, mountains, and sea that is the consciousness called Gaia. You are still in your forgetting of Source and experiencing yourself as separate from other. And with all of the dualities present in this universe of illusion, you play with the concept of self and other and all of the myriad of emotions, behaviors, thoughts, and experiences that engenders.
 
But make no mistake. Source continues to seek to know Itself better through you, who are of Source but in a state of forgetting. All of your experiences, thoughts, emotions, and circumstances exist because of the creation of duality as a tool through which All That Is, Was, or Ever Will Be can know and experience Itself in new ways.
 
However, the longer pieces of Source energy are immersed in the illusion of duality, the more they evolve, grow, and change in order to continue to create new experiences. And over what you call “time”, it has been your nature to seek to remember who and what you are, and where you came from. Through this independent desire for understanding among those who identify as self and other, the filters that have caused your forgetting have begun to lift, little by little, in order to generate new layers of experience.
 
This has been neither good nor bad, as nothing is inherently one or the other. It just Is, and it is through this Isness that Source and all of Its creations continue to explore. It is only in the illusion of duality where you believe in the existence of self and other that you place these value judgments on experiences, circumstances, and feelings instead of recognizing light and shadows (as well as other elements of duality) as merely expressions of Oneness energy designed to create experience.
 
Source has been present in every moment of experience in illusion, for illusion and all that dwell within it are pieces of Source energy, creating in the playground of the Cosmos. It is your forgetting and immersion in the separation into self and other that allows you to fully commit to your experience as creative beings.
 
This is your origin story. Because you are One with Source, you have always been the architects of your own experiences, and it is you as individuals and as a species that create the circumstances that allow you to explore duality. For each set of circumstances that arise, you have, on some level, decided it is what you need to lead you to the next circumstance and the next experience. And you also always have the choice within the opportunities with which you present yourself to determine who and what you are in relationship to it.
 
This is where we will leave you today. We want you to know and understand who you are. And we want you to recognize that you are not alone, no matter how alone you feel. You cannot be alone because there is no you, and there is no other – not in ultimate reality. The concepts of you and other, self and separation, are illusions generated to allow experience and creation.
 
We present in the Oneness of Source salute and support you, the intrepid explorers. We cheer for you, we love you, and we wrap ourselves around you during the current circumstances we have all co-created. This creation was built with Love, and we stand by eagerly watching what new knowings you will experience in order to support the ongoing initiative of All That Is, Was, or Ever Will Be to experience, explore, and grow in Love.

Greetings! We are pleased to share that many of you have accepted the challenge that comes with the COVID-19 opportunity for humanity, and you have begun to make an energetic shift! We are so humbled and overjoyed by the strength and willingness so many of you are showing to step into a new way of being, and we encourage you to stay at this important work. You may not recognize in this moment how powerful your efforts are in the shifting for the whole of the Oneness, but down the line you will look back and recognize that your choices and shifting energy paved the way for changes that benefitted generations of humanity. For, each person making a vibrational shift creates ripples in the pond that expand higher vibration outward exponentially. You do yourselves and all of us in the Oneness great honor.

Today, we have come to encourage you to step away from the noise as much as you possibly can. For it is the noise that is distracting many of you from the task at hand, which is the process of transformation to the new energy and the alignment with that energy, a process we call alightment in which you align with the power of Light from the Oneness that is available to you should you choose to discover it.

We hear you ask, what is the noise? The noise is all around you. It's the fearful information about this virus you call COVID-19. It's the political information calling out various entities and figures. It's the fear of measures being taken to protect you from the virus. It's the anger surrounding the words and decisions of those you do not agree with. It's the frustration at those who are not behaving in ways you feel they should. It's the desire and tendency to point the finger of blame somewhere - anywhere. It's the worry about money and the discussion surrounding whether currency is more important than human life. It's the frustration and sometimes outright hatred of those who believe differently from you. It's all of this and more. There is so much noise, and it is easy to be drawn into the rising volume of rhetoric, anger, and fear existing under the guise of being informed.

But we tell you this, and we hope you will listen. All it is, is noise. We will say it again: It is all noise. We understand why you choose to participate in it. It gives you the sense of being in control and of understanding what is happening in your embodied existence. But we want you to understand it and see it for what it is - noise. Following every piece of noise -- driven by media, social media, political parties and figures, the guy next door, and even the noise of your own mind -- may help you feel more in control and less afraid, but what it actually serves to do is distract you from the process of understanding what this opportunity means for you, and what you can do to raise your own vibration. Participating in or giving attention to the noise will keep you in the old vibration and prevent you from moving into the new frequency. And every person who chooses to accept the new vibration causes an exponential rise in the frequency of the whole, while every person who chooses to participate in the noise is, whether intentionally or unintentionally, fighting to maintain the vibrational status quo.

The noise all around you is of a lower vibration. But you get to decide whether you listen to it, absorb it, and participate in it. Your attention and reactions to the noise are a choice; choosing to participate in or give attention to the noise is not involuntary. It is a choice you are consciously making, and we want you to be very clear in your understanding that making this choice is an energetic "vote" for maintaining the vibrational status quo of the embodiment experience that currently exists on your planet. It's up to you to decide whether that's what you truly want, but from the perspective of the Oneness, doing so does not serve your greatest good.

We invite you as individual embodied human entities to align with the Light and to step away from the noise. We understand your fear in choosing alightment, for the human condition makes makes taking a leap of faith into the unknown a scary choice. But we are here to assure you that you are perfectly safe in making this choice and stepping away from the illusion of control that arises from paying attention to the noise. For, it is fear that is keeping this virus alive, and stepping away from the fear is the first step to creating a cure.

Many of you have realized that you are not being given the full truth surrounding this COVID-19 opportunity. Partial truths are out there, but much of what you are being told is outright fabrication from those who stand to gain in some way from misinformation and from keeping humanity off-balance and afraid. Personal, political, and financial agendas are driving the noise and keeping many from doing the work it will take to align with the new energy. But we say this to you now: paying attention to and participating in the noise may give you the illusion of control, but it is only illusion. Your attention to the noise perpetuates the fear, and that fear perpetuates the virus and its negative effects on humanity. It is in making the choice to step away from the noise and ignore it that you will find the thing that you can control: yourself and your reactions. 

Deep inside, in your spiritual center from where intuition arises, there is a small flicker of the flame of truth. The noise is keeping you from finding that Light and aligning with it. But once you align with that Light, everything will change in your experience. And the more people that align with their own Light through the processes of intuition and trust and the emotion of love, the less noise there will be, and the more others will be encouraged to follow your example. Contributing to the noise serves to keep more people vibrating at a lower frequency. Allowing your love and peace to be your example lets you to become a beacon of hope and comfort to others, and that, in turn, encourages them to find their own Light.

It is no mistake that this is our eleventh message to you. The numerology of 11 is important in this message and woven throughout it. Eleven is a power number. It is a master number that speaks directly to your intuition, encouraging you to step away from external stimulus and go within to discern the truth. And inherent within this master number 11 is the energy of 2 (1+1=2), which evokes duality and relationship. For, once you have stepped within to discern the truth, you are invited to live that truth within the experience of duality in ways that inspire others through your relationships with them and the example you provide with your own way of being in the world.

Let your example be your source of Light. You will never vibrationally win hearts and minds by participating in the noise of fear, personal or political agenda, judgment, criticism, or the intentional or unintentional sharing of misinformation. Rather, the way you can encourage others to go within and align with the new, higher vibration currently arising on Gaia is by being still and residing within the truth you discover deep inside yourself.

And so we end this, our eleventh message to you, with words of hope and encouragement. As embodied individuals, you each have the power to raise the vibration of humanity as a whole. You are supported by all in the Oneness. We walk beside you and cheer you on. We reside within the quiet flame of intuition that exists inside of all of you, and we invite you to come and find us here. We, in the Oneness, are available as a source of unconditional love and support, and we eagerly await the moment when each of you discovers us and aligns with the Light we are here to share with you. Always know that you are deeply loved, and you are never alone.​

I've always considered myself a pretty authentic person, but one thing I've noticed as we've been in this extreme social distancing is a stripping away of much of my remaining artifice.

We all have a persona we present to the world. It's the public mask we wear. Persona is such a common concept, it's one of Carl Jung's basic archetypes. And even those of us who strive for authenticity in our lives have created a persona that we use as a shield to protect us from those who we fear might do us harm in some way.

For most of us, our persona is self-protective. It's a function of ego energy that we feel keeps us safe from rejection and hurt at the hands of others. It appears in the clothes we wear, the way we do our hair or makeup, the things we say, the filters we apply to our photos, how we publicly respond to things, and many more aspects of self we present to others. Persona is essentially the image we curate as we try to craft how others view us. While it is self-protective, personal image curation can block us from true intimacy with our fellow traveling souls.

The longer I am away from others (and my hairdresser) however, the more I notice those layers of persona falling away. Surprise! There are gray strands in my hair, wrinkles around my eyes, and freckles on my nose. My eyebrows have a tendency to grow bushy. My nails have a proclivity to break. My emotions swing naturally. Sometimes I am sad. Sometimes I am at peace. Sometimes I am content. Sometimes I am angry. And my facial expressions and words more frequently reveal any emotion, pain, or vulnerability that I may be feeling.

I know from my own experiences in life that image curation and hiding behind the mask of persona has allowed me to hold others at an arm's length and often blocked me from deeply intimate relationships with all but the few I've allowed in. I've always been self-protective in this way; very few make it into my inner circle where I trust them deeply enough to reveal all (or even some) of my shadows. I'm the person who smiles in public and grieves in private. And I decide which pieces of my story I choose to share and which I choose to keep private.

Although I am deeply aware of my own shadows, I am not historically someone who is comfortable with sharing them. And I don't think this makes me bad or different - we all do it. We all carefully curate our own images in order to attract others to us and keep them in our lives.

Isn't it interesting, however, that we have been driven apart by something that may push us now to wear an actual mask in public? My more superficial relationships have fallen by the wayside; but, the people I truly desire in my life and those I feel most connected to, they are still here. I find ways to connect with those who truly matter to me, and they find ways to stay connected to me. These are the people with whom I interact without wearing a literal or figurative mask.

But in public or among those with whom I don't feel as safe, I wear an actual mask now when I go out. I wear a mask that protects and hides most of my face from others. Hidden from view when I wear a mask are many of the parts of myself I use to curate my image: my microexpressions, my smile or frown, and the visual representation of the words I speak as my mouth forms them.

The lower part of my face - especially my mouth - is what I use to mislead others when I curate my image. I hide behind my smile and facial expressions as I form my words so that no one will recognize my shadows, and nobody will know if I am experiencing pain or discomfort. But my eyes and my voice -- those are the things that often betray me when I am curating my image -- and right now those are the only facial features others see when I wear a literal mask.

When you are no longer distracted by the expression my mouth makes, you can see instead my eyes, which are incapable of hiding how I truly feel. And instead of being distracted by the expression my face makes when I form the words I speak to you, you now must focus on my tone, and my voice almost always betrays me in terms of the true emotion behind my words. Suddenly, strangers among whom I've always maintained a layer of self-protection can only see and hear the parts of me that show who I really am.

This is no mistake. This is no accident. This is no coincidence. For, we all claim to long for intimacy and deep, meaningful relationships, but our fear and egos keep us from showing all but a very few who we truly are. What we are experiencing right now can change the world, or at least it can change our individual worlds if we allow it to. What many are coming to realize is that what we long for is connection. And yet, I suspect if each of you quieted the noise of distraction you are creating in your own isolation at this time, you would recognize just how deeply and powerfully you curate your own image as a means of self-protection, and just how much that blocks your ability to connect with another.

Surely COVID-19 is an opportunity and a wake-up call, as The Georges have been telling us it is. And the opportunity, while it exists for all of humanity, is also deeply personal. It is the opportunity for each of us to sit with ourselves and to understand just how ingrained our own image curation is. And then, it is for each of us to decide what to do with that. How much of that curated image do we want to hold onto, and how much do we wish to allow to fall away so we can connect on an authentic level with our fellow souls?

Along with all of the opportunities that exist for a shift in humanity's energetic vibration and awareness that have come with this period in our history, there also exists an invitation to greater authenticity. We all have the opportunity to recognize how we curate our own images, and whether that serves our greatest good in our genuine desire to connect with others.

And so, I sit here in my home. I am stripped bare. It is just me and my shadows. It is just me and the truth of who I am most moments of most days. Sure, I can distract myself with work, Netflix, books, classes - but I can only do it for so long to fill the hours. When the noise switches off, when the Netflix movie or Zoom meeting ends, it is once again me in the quiet with my shadows and my most decidedly uncurated image. And in those moments of quiet as I connect with my own soul, I recognize a deeper truth. I have nothing to hide, no matter who I interact with.

I have received the invitation, and I accept the call for greater authenticity and deeper connection. Because the other thing I've learned from this is that we need each other, all of us. Somewhere outside of our embodied experience, our souls are intertwined in the Oneness. And inside of the embodied human existence, we forget what the experience of Oneness feels like. So we spend our whole lives longing to return and reconnect with the Oneness while blocking ourselves from that experience at every turn because we live with the fear of betrayal, hurt, and rejection if we allow others to see who we really are. ​

You get to decide what you make of your experience. You get to decide whether you will continue to curate your image in order to maintain distance, or if you'll share with others a more authentic experience of you. I, for one, am excited to meet each of you as we step out of the shadows and begin living less curated, more genuine lives.

Karen's note: I think it's important to share what I feel The George's intention is in their recent channeled messages from my very ​ human perspective. I don't think The Georges are telling us how it has to be. Instead, they are showing us how things can be and identifying the opportunities for The Shift as well as the obstacles that stand in our way. I never feel a sense of judgment, superiority, or disappointment from them, only a sense of deep love, honor, and respect for all of humanity.

Ultimately, it's up to those of us who are embodied--both collectively and individually--to determine the outcomes and how the results of the opportunities with which we are being presented manifest. Nothing is set in stone. Everything is temporary. And if we miss one opportunity, we will continue to present ourselves with new opportunities to grow, evolve, and serve the highest good.

Greetings! Today we approach you with great humility and awe because we recognize the difficult work and perceived sacrifices souls who choose to embody as humans experience. Today we wish to address something that is inherent in the human condition which has no counterpart in The Oneness: ego & hierarchy.
 
When you choose to leave The Oneness and embody as humans, you encounter a uniquely human quality that allows you to experience yourself as a separate entity apart from your soul’s identity as a piece of Source Energy. What is this quality that embodied humans have that their souls lack? It is what you call ego.
 
Ego is a necessary function in order for humans to truly experience themselves as a separate entity from The Oneness. Without ego, you would not have a sense of “I” or “me”. And “I” or “me” is necessary for you to experience the polarities of embodied life.
 
Perhaps an example is the best way to explain this.
 
Without ego, you would not be able to differentiate the packet of vibrating energy that is held together by force fields and identified as “self” from a packet of energy held together by force fields and identified as “other”. There would be no sense of separation between what you identify as “me” and what you identify as “dog”, or “chair”, or “wife”, or “flower”, or “planet”, for instance. And without those packets of energy held together into different shapes and identities, you would also not be able to experience the many things you encounter when you choose to enter the illusion of space-time.
 
The purpose of incarnating with a sense of separation is to help The Oneness know itself outside of the love energy that makes up the totality of the Divine through the experience of duality. You agreed when you embodied to experience Source Energy split into polarities such as “here” and “there” or “hot” and “cold”, for example. Your vibrational work on Gaia is something you eagerly agreed to do to serve the highest purpose of The Oneness, of which you are an integral part.
 
As we have discussed with you before, it is in your state of forgetfulness of The Oneness that comes with embodiment that humans individually and collectively assign arbitrary values to the different forms that those vibrating packets of energy take. For example, humanity has collectively agreed that the vibrating packets of Source Energy that become “diamonds” somehow have more value than those vibrating packets of Source Energy that take the form of “butterflies.” This is a uniquely human quality, assigning greater or lesser value to materials that are all made up of the exact same substance but arranged into different forms.
 
You do this for the purpose of commerce, trade, and renumeration; you arrange the value of these energy packets into hierarchies of what is more valuable and what is less. In doing so, you create castes of humans sorted into the categories of “haves” and “have nots”. However, when your system of commerce breaks down, it reveals the illusion behind your valuation of all energy packets. In your current circumstances, vibrating packets of energy that once didn’t appear to have much value for humanity suddenly have great value, and items that once had great value no longer serve your current needs and are therefore considered less valuable.
 
And from this, a new valuation about packets of energy arises. This new valuation has no more basis in ultimate reality than your previous value assignments. The abrupt change in circumstances for all embodied on Gaia has revealed the fallacy of your system of valuation.
 
The same thing has happened with your valuation of people. Across hundreds of thousands of years, your valuation of people has changed based on circumstances. For example, in the earliest stages of this Wave of Humanity, humans who could hunt or gather food were highly valued. Over the millennia, however, humanity has placed greater value on people who appear on your devices: athletes, politicians, and movie stars, for example. Meanwhile, hunters, gatherers, and food growers have been assigned far less value. You demonstrate this arranging of humans in value hierarchies by the inequities in renumeration among people performing various tasks.
 
Once again, however, your current circumstances have turned your valuation of humans upside down and revealed the inherent fallacy in your hierarchical valuation of human effort. It is not your athletes or movie stars who are providing and caring for humanity during this COVID-19 opportunity; it is those who were until recently considered far less important if renumeration is an indication of value. For example, people who care for the health of embodied humans have become far more important to serve the current needs of humanity than someone who plays a sport. And people who provide food and supplies for humans have become far more important than a television star or a model.
 
Embodied humans like to place other humans in hierarchies so they have a better sense of how “I” is separate from “you” or “they”. And you place your humans into these hierarchies based largely on four factors: economics, power, attractiveness, and popularity.
 
This is a function of ego, and it is something that even young children learn to do at a very early age based on the example of the older humans in their environment. You see hierarchies arising in families, schoolyards, religions, cities, states, cultures, societies, and humanity as a whole. Arranging these hierarchies helps to give each embodied soul a sense of who “I” am in comparison to who “you” are, which is the primary function of ego.
 
Therefore, it is utterly human to assign hierarchies to elements of The Oneness as well. For example, when we have discussed First Wave, Second Wave, Third Wave, and Fourth Wave humans, many of you have immediately assumed that Fourth Wave humanity must somehow be “better than” or “more desirable than” First Wave humanity. This is not the case. This valuation is merely a manifestation of the embodied human propensity for valuation when in fact, the same souls have appeared in bodies in each Wave, and all Waves have existed to serve the greatest good of The Oneness.
 
In Source Energy, each part of The Oneness is equal to each other piece of The Oneness regardless of the form the energy takes in the moment. Instead, each energy packet exists to serve a purpose for The Oneness, and when that arrangement of energy no longer serves the greatest good, it can return to Source Energy until it is time to reform into something else needed to serve a purpose for the greatest good.
 
It is the nature of humans to categorize, organize, and assign value to the people, places, and things that appear in their experience. And that value changes over time and based on needs or wants. But in the ultimate reality, nothing and no one who appears in the human experience has any more or less inherent value or importance than any other person, place, or thing. All exist to serve the greatest good and enhance the experience of embodiment.
 
This means the hierarchies by which you arrange people, places, and things are only true if embodied humans agree they are true. And when a “high-value” person or object no longer meets the desires or serves the needs of embodied humans, its value drops in spite of the fact that it is still the same energy in exactly the same form as it was when it was considered highly valuable.
 
It’s a paradox unique to being an embodied human: if all things are valuable, then nothing is valuable. And yet, in the ultimate reality that is The Oneness, all energy is equally valued and beloved.
 
We therefore urge you to challenge your judgments. Be aware of your propensity to assign arbitrary and random values to the packets of energy that make up people, places, and things and form them in hierarches of perceived worth. All are the same energy, all serve a purpose, and none are inherently more than or less than any other. It is essential for humanity to step aside from this system of valuation in order to continue to serve the highest good of all and make the most of this current Shift opportunity. For, it is in valuation where inequality arises that elevates the few while oppressing the many.
 
Each packet of Source Energy that makes up individuals is as important to the whole as any other. A “president” or “queen” is no more valuable than a “taxi driver” or a “factory worker”. A “millionaire” is no more valuable than a “pauper”. An entity such as an “angel”, a “prophet”, or a “spirit guide” is no more valuable or important than a soul that has chosen to embody as a human. An “old soul” is no greater than a “young soul”, and a “spiritual person” is no greater than an “atheist.” All are necessary for the greatest good of the whole, and we honor each of you who have temporarily separated from The Oneness to experience being human.

Greetings! We love you deeply and are vibrating with excitement to share today’s message of joy, hope, and opportunity! It is with great jubilation that we greet you on a day that so many consider sacred and holy. For today is a joyful day in your Christian tradition, in which those embodied souls who identify as Christian celebrate the rising of the prophet Jesus Christ, who was crucified and rose after three days.
 
The fact that you are in your current set of circumstances on this symbolic day is not a coincidence. Nor is it a coincidence that much of humanity is currently cocooned during the festival of Passover, which commemorates the Israelites’ liberation from slavery. Nor is it a coincidence that humanity is hunkered down and awaiting reawakening during the period commemorating the ancient pagan celebration of Ēostre, Goddess of Spring, near the time of the vernal equinox when the periods of darkness lessen and progressively more light returns to the day-night cycles in Gaia’s Northern Hemisphere.
 
All of these festivals and holidays, regardless of their religious symbolism, have something very important in common with what is happening for humanity with the COVID-19 opportunity. They all symbolize the process of rebirth, awakening, and new beginnings. Someday, when the Fourth Wave of Humanity creates its own symbolic festivals and celebrations, they will look back at this time in human history and celebrate this period of dormancy and awakening when Third Wave Energy gave way to Fourth Wave Energy so all the souls incarnating on Gaia could do so in circumstances more conducive to joyful and meaningful co-creation and less focused on the old energy systems of politics, commerce, materialism, and authoritarian religions that no longer serve you.
 
Many of you have come to strongly suspect or even believe that there is no such thing as coincidence, and we are here to tell you that this perception is true. Before each embodiment, every soul plans their lives and the broad strokes of the circumstances under which you live them. Then, each of you embarks on the adventure of embodiment with the ability to continue to create, individually and collectively, the circumstances of your time as an embodied soul on Gaia. Each moment of each day is an act of singular and collective creation that continues from the moment of your birth until you breathe your last breath.
 
And what a time you have co-created for the good of all humanity! While many of you feel the COVID-19 opportunity is happening to you, indeed we are here tell you the good news: This opportunity is happening for you, and it is an act of unconscious collective co-creation that each soul incarnated on Gaia at this very moment eagerly signed up to participate in.
 
It is no coincidence the COVID-19 opportunity first emerged near the end of the year 2019, a time that was still primarily Third Wave Energy in which many of humanity’s values of commercialism, materialism, religion, superstition, and oligarchical power structures were no longer serving humanity’s highest and greatest good.
 
It is also no coincidence that the opportunity reached its peak near the beginning of 2020, a year that symbolizes the rise to prominence of Fourth Wave Energy, providing humanity with the opportunity to set aside previous constructs and conditioning in order to envision a new way of inhabiting Gaia that will better serve the greatest good of the collective.
 
The symbolic numerology of the year 2019 vibrated with the energy of 3 (2+0+1+9=12; 1+2=3). The energy of 3 supports the individual, and it promotes individual values of creativity and separation as each embodied soul seeks to identify themselves as “I” and “me” in order to more fully know themselves. This primary 3 energy of the Third Wave, which has been present for the several hundred thousand years the Third Wave has been incarnating on Gaia, has been extremely important for humanity. It has sparked innovation that has allowed individuals to connect and collaborate as a species in new and powerful ways while still remaining firmly entrenched in the identification of self as separate from All That Is.
 
The year 2020 vibrates with the energy of 4 (2+0+2+0=4). This represents a new focus on sustainability and stability as well as heart-centered collective values in which the Third Wave of Humanity makes way for the Fourth Wave. Fourth Wave souls have been arriving by birth in increasing numbers for the last four to five decades. Many Third Wave souls have also been shifting to Fourth Wave Energy by raising their individual vibration in order to make The Shift while still embodied. Many of you have made that Shift or are in the middle of making it. 2020 marks the first time in which the number of those embodied souls with Fourth Wave Energy outnumber those with Third Wave Energy, creating a critical mass that will help all of humanity to make The Shift.
 
It is also no coincidence that your first big opportunity to make The Shift, the COVID-19 opportunity for humanity, is occurring during the period of your religious and pagan festivals that represent awakening, opportunity, and new beginnings. Before your souls embodied, we all joyfully planned these symbolic meanings together in order to help souls individually and collectively recognize the importance of the opportunity for The Shift when it arose.
 
And now, on this day that so many of you consider most Holy, you have symbolically entered your “tombs” and are ready to rise just as Jesus did, shifting as a whole from the energy of the Third Wave to the energy of the Fourth Wave. Humanity is preparing to emerge from what has begun to feel like the oppression of enslavement created by the Third Wave values of commercialism, achievement, and materialism and into a new way of being of Fourth Wave Energy that supports sustainability, love, and collaboration.  
 
Can you see the symmetry and beauty of what you have collectively created? This is the good news we have come to share today! As Third Wave Energy has gradually given way to Fourth Wave Energy, embodied souls have longed for the opportunity to step away from old systems and conditioning that no longer support the greatest good of the individual or the collective in order to emerge into a new way of being that supports vibrant new sustainable, loving, joyful, and compassionate systems that allow you to flourish in the Fourth Wave Energy.
 
And so, we invite you to rise. Now is your opportunity to imagine the society and systems in which you wish to emerge into the New Energy. Now is the time to visualize ways in which you can individually and collectively create systems and institutions that support and nurture these values. The opportunity is at hand, and we are here to support each of you, both as souls incarnated in individual bodies and as vibrational energy that exists within The Oneness that underlies the fabric of the universe. You have come here to this specific point in space-time for this very reason. You have chosen to be here, knowing you had the full unconditional love and support of The Oneness. We are here as you make this transition, and we rejoice in your strength, creativity, and power as you rise into New Energy to create a time on Gaia that supports the greatest good of all who partner with her in the adventure you call life.
