I don’t need to remind you that everything is changing. It’s changing at such a rapid speed that it’s hard to keep up with. Or I should say, it’s hard for the old energy mind and consciousness to keep up with the flurry of changes.

Perhaps one of the most difficult, unsettling changes is the completion of our contracts. I define “contract” as a spiritual agreement with ourselves and other people in our lives. The contracts can range from an agreement to be born into a specific biological family, working with someone in this lifetime, living in certain geographic locations, reconnecting to a spiritual group you’ve been with before, or even completing your entire life path.

My wife Linda and I had a type of contract to be together in this lifetime. The contract, or agreement, was probably developed in the other realms before this lifetime, based on experiences in our past and a desire to create together in this lifetime. Linda and I met in 4th grade (age 11), started dating when we were 17 years old and got married when we were 22. Everything just fell into place because our contract paved the way.

I know I had a contract to work with certain people to help create this thing we call the Crimson Circle. Norma Delaney and Garret Annofsky, John Kuderka, Michelle MacHale, Jean Tinder and Jan Brouwer to name just a few of many. I had a contract to meet Lee Carroll and work with him. I know these were contracts because of the synchronous and easy way we met, and the deep familiarity that occurred upon meeting. There wasn’t any need to break the ice or get to know each other. We hit the ground running.

I had a contract to work with Tobias. Together we created it a long, long time ago. It went something like this: Tobias would stay in the non-physical realms, while I would come to physical Earth. At the right time he would present himself to me and we’d start working together. I would meld with him and bring his messages to a group known as Shaumbra. When the work was done, Tobias would join us in this 3D world.

But alas, our contracts are coming to an end in this New Energy. It’s one of the most unsettling and empty experiences we go through in this lifetime. We’re used to having contracts. They have provided a comfortable framework for our existence and experiences. They were a kind of a self-inflicted destiny. We could actually walk through life in a semi-trance state, wandering from one point of our contracts to another.

As the contracts come to an end in this lifetime, there’s a sense of “what next?” “What am I supposed to be doing?” “What does Spirit want me to do?” There’s a long, empty silence followed by the inner answer: “What do you want to do?” As liberating as this may sound, we’re not used to having this kind of spiritual freedom. Maybe it would almost be easier to get a new assignment from Spirit rather than to make the decision for ourselves?

There’s also a deep feeling that our time on earth is done. With all of the contracts completed, what’s there to do? Maybe it’s time to go back home, to stay on the sidelines during this intense time of change. I know several Shaumbra who have done this.

About a year ago, Tobias told me that our contract was done. What he and I had agreed to do with the Crimson Circle was done. It was a very strange feeling. Tobias said he’d stay around through July 2009, but no longer. “But Tobias,” I cried out, “what about me? What should I do next?” You already know the answer because you’ve heard it also: “Whatever you want to do.”

That’s the big question: What do you want to do? There are no contracts. No karma. No requirements. It’s like being discharged from the military after a lifetime of service. As much as you might have wanted out, there’s a strange feeling when Liberation Day finally comes. Now what?

I’ve discovered something very important for myself these past few months. I don’t have to answer that question! I don’t have to sit down and write up a new life path. I don’t have to create a new plan. More importantly, I don’t have to worry that someone else will write it for me if I hesitate in doing it myself! I can just BE for the time being! I can take my time to release the old contracts and just hang out until I can really feel what I want to do next.

Adamus Saint-Germain and I don’t have a contract like the one I had with Tobias. I don’t have to do the work with him. Therefore, I can choose to! When I’ve asked Adamus what the new program would look like, he defers back to me. In other words, he won’t answer the question until I tell him what I’d like to do. Hmmm. This must be the “new energy” way of doing things.

Take a look at your own life and your contracts. Is your job slipping away? Are your relationships changing? Does your spiritual work feel like it’s dissolving away? And now for the big question: What do YOU want to do? As Tobias quoted from Charles Dickens in Shoud 8, “We have before us all things, and we have before us nothing at all.” We are completing our contracts, and it is up to us what we choose next. Choose in joy and abundance, choose what makes your heart sing and therefore you will make other people’s hearts sing as well.
