Who or what is God?
There are many stories out there, when did we actually start believing in a God.
Origin of Religion - Ancient Foundations
The origin of religion can generally be traced to the ancient Near East and classified in three basic categories: polytheistic, pantheistic and monotheistic. Atheism is really a modern belief that resulted from the "Enlightenment" period of the 18th century.
Origin of Religion - Polytheism
The origin of religion and polytheistic systems: Polytheism (a belief in many gods) is thought to have originated with Hinduism in about 2500 BC. Hindu beliefs were recorded in the Bhagavad Gita, which revealed that many gods were subject to a supreme Brahman god. Polytheism was also the religion of many other ancient cultures, including Assyria, Babylonia, Egypt, Greece and Rome. The ancient polytheistic belief systems viewed gods as being in control of all natural events such as rainfall, harvests and fertility. Generally, polytheistic cultures believed in sacrifices to appease their gods. For instance, the Canaanites sacrificed to the male god, Baal, and his female counterpart, Ashteroth. Baal controlled the rain and the harvest, while Ashteroth controlled fertility and reproduction. The Greeks and Romans developed polytheism to a highly structured pantheon of gods and goddesses.
Origin of Religion - Pantheism
The origin of religions and pantheistic systems: Pantheism (a belief that all is God) prevailed in numerous ancient cultures. The belief that the universe itself was divine was typified in the Animism beliefs of the African and American Indian cultures, the later Egyptian religion under the Pharoahs, and Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism in the cultures of the Far East. Pantheistic beliefs are also finding resurgence among various New Age movements. Generally, pantheism is the principle that god is everything, and everything is god. Therefore, nature is also part of god. We must be in harmony with nature. We must nurture it and be nurtured by it. Mankind is no different than any other animal. We must live in harmony with them, understand them, and learn from them, focusing on the relationship between mankind and the elements of nature.
Origin of Religion - Monotheism
The origin of religion and monotheistic systems: Monotheism (a belief in one God) is the foundation of the Judeo-christian-muslim line of religions, which began with a man named Abraham in about 2000 BC. From this point in history, God began revealing Himself to the world through the nation of Israel. The Jewish Scriptures record the journey of the Israelites from slaves in Egypt to the "promised land" in Canaan under the leadership of Moses. During a period of about 1500 years, God revealed what became the Old Testament of the Bible, relating the history of Israel with the character and laws of God. During the period of the Roman Empire, Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem as the long-awaited Messiah. The ministry of Jesus ended in about 32 AD with His crucifixion and resurrection. After Christ's ascension into heaven, the Christian church grew in His name and the New Testament was written. About 600 years later, Muhammad began preaching in Mecca. Muhammad believed he was the ultimate prophet of God, and his teachings became the precepts of Islam as recorded in the Qur'an.

Was there a belief in God in Atlantis, or Lemuria or even before that?
We knew who we were, beings with full consciousness, there was no reason to believe in a God or Goddess, since we were those God and Goddesses. All beings from Source.
When our conscious awareness slowly disappeared, we started looking outside of ourselves for this God, find an explanation on how the world was created, how we were created, why were things happening a certain way? There was thunder, so maybe there was a being that was angry. That’s one God, and many more were created that way.
So what is God, who is this being that seems to be creating all this for us, that seems to be in control as many think and wants all his children home?
We are not alone in this universe; there are many other universes out there with many more beings, maybe like us, maybe not. We have ascended beings assisting us; spaceships full of beings from other planets, even other universes.
Why are they here, why are we special that everyone is here to assist us in this ascension.
And who is the God arranging all this.
Let’s have a look at what we are, as it says we were made in the image of God in the Christian Religion. We are spirits having a physical life. So is God a spirit like us? Does God think like us? We have free will, does God have free will?
If we have free will, than why is God arranging all this, making it happen for us. Making sure everyone ascends, even the one who have no clue what ascension is.
Did we make the decision while in spirit, or are we making the decision here on earth in the physical.
The belief in God stems mostly from us searching for answers, what proof do we have that there is such a God?
All the messages about God came through channelings, God revealed himself to the world through the nation of Israel. Through Abraham. Considering what time he was living in and the understanding they had at that time, what is truth and what is distorted through the channel? What is actually the thought of the channel, and the circumstances he was living in?
When spirituality became more into being, the messages started coming from other beings. They called themselves ascended masters. They came to bring their teachings only about 200 years ago.
I know many of them, have channeled many of them, always considered them to be my friends and they still are. They were the ones who pushed me to look for the answers within me. When I reached that point the story was a bit different then what is told throughout history and even different from what they told me in the beginning when I started asking questions.
Going to the Source of what we are is who we are. We came from source energy; this energy has consciousness like us. Does it surpass our consciousness? Maybe.
When I asked to be shown, it took some time for it to really be revealed to me, time for me to raise my frequencies, changes to the brain, consciousness and mind to fully be able to understand what source is. The source of my being. Who I am. Where I came from, maybe the answer to where I am going and why.
The answer I was able to see for myself, was the Source energy I came from, what happened to it, and why I am on this path of cosmic ascension to return to those frequencies of the Source I came from.
It was not a being, as I feel like I am not a being. I am energy with consciousness, able to think, find answers, solutions and the ability of reasoning of what it is I need to do. The answer was clear that I needed to find the oneness, since I am this energy, that oneness is within me. As it is within the source energy I came from, it is within me.
So what is important, the play we have in the 3D world or the process of returning to oneness.
To me it’s the oneness, and the only way to go back to the oneness is follow the guidance that is already within me. I can look for answers outside of me, yes of course, but are they real. People have looked for guidance through all ages to find out where they came from. God was an explanation, for many, some religions had many gods as well as deities and masters they would connect to for guidance.
Right now we are in a period of ascension of not just ourselves, but the planet we are on. Just like us this planets is energy manifested in a physical reality. Just like us, a being that has spiritual energy not within the physical body. Many ask what is the new earth, why is it merging with our earth. It is the energy that has resided in higher dimension waiting for the physical part to be ready for ascension. It is now and the merging of the spiritual with the physical part of the earth has begun.
What does ascension of the earth mean for us, our universe and beyond our universe?
It’s another part of the energies returning to oneness. Just like us, the earth has a consciousness, awareness, can think and find solutions. So solution have been found and implemented within the new earth, the spirit energies of our earth. Knowing that many spirits will not be able to return to full oneness at this time, the plan has been made to accommodate them with a dimensional change, but still within physicality. The earth will return to oneness but she will still be assisting many of us after that. Just like many of us will return as teachers, the earth will return with dimension and everything. The earth itself though will stay within the oneness frequencies. The energies and dimensions will be around the earth to support the ones who are not ascending into oneness and the teachers will be there to assist them further on their path towards oneness.
You can find it within many of the messages, but you can also find other recommendations within them. We are not alone, and yes there are many being within duality that see it as their goal to keep control over the earth to stay in power over the earth.
It is not our job to change them, we can only make decisions for ourselves. If we choose to be in oneness it has an effect on the energies overall. The ascension of the earth into oneness will have an effect on the energies. The earth is the one that does need our assistance as she has been supporting us all this time she has been contaminated with many energies that do not belong to her and she has been working on releasing them. Many are assisting her with this. As we can understand the release of energies and changes within us, we can understand the work that needs to be done to the earth is way more than that. Given the larger size of our earth compared to our physical body.
The earth has made her plans, so has the other side, the opposing side. Many safety plans were placed into the earth by them to prevent the earth from ascending. One of them is the planetary grid that at one point in time was used to allow us to be connected with the earth as one being. It is now used to send energies that bring fear to us as we move further toward the end of this ascension cycle.
It is being used to control us, to interfere with the consciousness, the mass consciousness around the earth. This consciousness is what connects people together in many ways. It is a storage place for experiences, but also feelings like love and hate. Memories of all of us in different life times.
This is also where many of the channelings about previous lifetimes are coming from. Some of those memories might be yours; they might also be from others whose energy signature is close to yours.
Like many women out there thinking they were Mary Magdalene, or many people thinking they were Jesus. They were there probably, connected to them, maybe even working with them. But there can only be one, not ten or twenty.
Memories of Atlantis and Lemuria are available in this mass consciousness.
Memories of history, but history as it was thought at the time of happening, just like we experience everything that is happening different, the stories of those memories are different.
So the stories about the Gods are different, a priest would experience the Gods different then a person building the temple the priest was working in. At the time of Jesus, most people couldn’t read or write, didn’t all travel like we do now. So their experience comes from the stories told by others.
This all brings in a lot of confusion. As we come to the channelings that are being brought to us by light beings. Giving us the information we are ready for, giving information only for certain groups, or maybe just one person. No all beings of light have all the information, it depends on their level of advancement as well.
So what and how do we trust to find the truth?
For myself, I know I can only find it within me, within Source.
Reason for me to do everything possible to connect with my own source being, and in this way source itself. This is where I find my answers, by fully immersing myself within the energy of source, the consciousness of source. Learn to read the consciousness and energy of source to find out what it is that needs to be done for myself to fulfill my mission here on earth.
It does not come easy though, and it requires a lot of work on myself, work that cannot be done by other beings. Whatever needs to be done can only be done by me, my own source being that has the knowledge perfect for me.
This is also where I learn what needs to be done for the earth, and what I can do to assist others to find this knowledge within them.
What have I done to accomplish this?
I started in the Netherlands with Reiki, the moment I heard about this healing method I felt the need to do it. So got my reiki one, than reiki two and just had to become a reiki master. I never felt the need to teach classes, just felt the need to feel the full force of the energy of reiki.
I got in touch with several other woman and we started a small reiki group. We would do reiki on each other, but also started to get messages and images during the reiki. So next step for me was finding a course and learn how to channel. The first meditation to connect with my guide, Jesus came to me. I didn’t feel comfortable with that and told him so. He changed his appearance into an Egyptian and called himself Amenemhet. I later found out there was one Pharaoh with that name. I had always been interested in Egypt so that felt better. Not that he would let me go on with it though. People started giving me books about Jesus, a necklace with Jesus. So at one point I did give in and started working with him. After this I tool a light body class with the same teacher just before I move to the United States.
When I arrived, a new guide showed up, talking to me in English the first night I slept here in the US. He did not tell me his name, I found that out a year or so later that his name was Kuthumi.
I started attending a reiki group here and learned to channel more information during the reiki sessions.
I actually taught a channeling class a couple of times with everyone being able to channel.
In the mean time I got divorced, remarried and this time with someone who was spiritual.
Many more masters had come to me in that time and at one point I was told I needed to start making essential oil blends. With each message from a master came an oil blend connected to that master.
From there I was told to make a website and put the messages on there, with the oil blends.
Soon after that I received a channeling about the Blue light Star System and was given the attunement process for this energy system. Another website.
People coming to both of them and buying the attunement or oils.
At one point I was told it was time to start teaching, I never wanted to, I liked doing the channeling class but that was it. But the blue Star Mystery School was ready and I put out a website and had ten people sign up. A couple of months later, the Order of the Sphinx and more people signing up. I was now teaching two classes a week.
It was fun, we had discussions about many spiritual subject after the meditation.
There was talk about ascension, but cosmic ascension was not known about at that time.
After a year or so of both schools, more information started to come in. I met some different people and learned more about what they knew the history to be of our earth and universe. I got more channelings, some were really new and people would not receive them easily.
But cosmic ascension came into play and I finally had the answer to what I was looking for.
I wanted to complete cosmic ascension.
More questions than answers at that time. Information was coming but never complete.
I was guided to start teaching different classes, like the J-seal removal, the Cosmic Axiatonal.
Activation and changes within myself as I went through bringing in all 12 chakras, changing them into electrons, changing that into a crystalline tube. Slowly everything that I needed was revealed one step at the time. And this is still the way it is happening, even though the information is now coming from my own source being. It has not been easy, there were times where I just wanted to leave, give up. Sometimes I would be so sick I thought I was going to die. Other times it felt like someone had taken out my brain put cotton balls in its place. The headaches were not fun. The changes to the physical body, releases of energy are hard sometimes. The emotional pressure of working through them is depressing and I have had many times that I was at the point where I was going to kill myself
I pulled myself through, cursing the masters many times for letting me go through all of it.
For not helping me, for everything that went wrong, no matter what.
I know, I had said I would completely dedicate myself and what I did to teach others, to assist the earth with her process and everything else that was need of me. But there were times I gave up. It was too hard, too much to go through, and it still is sometimes.
But I moved forward while I was guided to bring in my higher self, my soul, my I am presence and so many more pieces of me that seemed to be out there. Every time I did I felt like I had changed into another person, not knowing who I was, looking in the mirror and seeing someone I didn’t know.
I dealt with some of the changes by changing my hair color, driving my hair dresser crazy, going from pitch black to blond in one try. He never complained and it helped to integrate the new parts of me.
It allowed me to deal on a human level with the changes I felt within, as sometimes I felt like a complete different being.
As I am now reaching the point of full consciousness, I am receiving the information fluidly at most times. It does not require the effort that was needed before.
It is amazing how much we don’t know, how much we can learn if we just commit ourselves to it to find out.
Many are trying to find out through other beings, and I think this is alright for some time. But when you want the real information, fully understand the information and want to be able to be a full partner as a human in the process that you are going through. You need this connection within, a full and clear connection within.
This information will not be channeled, it is you talking, the real you.
It is not about connecting with your source being and asking questions. It is knowing the question and answer at the same time.
This is why much of what I have written lately, might seem as just my experience.
It is not.
It is me, fully connected within my own Source Being.
Yes I have not all the answers yet, but this is due to human limitations of the mind and brain.
As my consciousness is fully aware, fully activated, can reach the farthest corners in every part of the cosmos. I still have the limitation of translating that into the human understanding.
The Physical changes are taking place within my physical brain, and my energies as well.
At one point I will be able to fully translate it for myself, I know that.
It is commitment and working on myself that has got me this far, it will take commitment and work on myself to get to the next step and the step after that.
There is no rest as I know this is my path. When will I get there, I don’t know. It does not matter.
The path is needed to learn, to experience, to find my way back.
Making assumptions of when I get there, having expectations of what it is going to be like is going to interfere with the outcome that is perfect for me. As I do not have that full understanding at this time.
So I let that go and follow the flow that is in front of me as I am being guided within me by me.
As I end this writing, I am thinking, so who and what is God.
I used to see God as a being, I still sort of do, but now I see it as a being that was the beginning of me.
I do not ask this being to help me as I am this being I can help myself.
I do not need to look up to another being as I know that we are all one and there is in fact no difference between me and the Source or God.
