A MAJOR SHIFT IN planetary consciousness is occurring. All we need to do is look around us and see the signs--a focus on psychic abilities, nutrition, UFOs, angels, life after death, ETs, along with strange weather patterns, governments changing, figureheads and celebrities falling off pedestals, unexplainable body aches and diseases, the feeling of time running out, etc. Consider the possibility that we are, along with the planet, in the middle of a dimensional shift--the old ways falling away and a new way emerging. There are millions of us on the planet who are consciously aware of this shift and are here now to assist people in gracefully crossing the bridge. If you feel the urgings inside to express more of who you truly are and to fulfill your divine purpose on this planet, contact Atavar and Aquasar, of Activation Ascension Alliance for a free copy of our newsletter. 773/463-7717.
