A sample of recent postings on the Crimson Circle Message Board from Shaumbra around the world:

Flying Free

I had very strange feelings on the August 8th. As I was taking a walk on the shore I suddenly had a very strange feeling of entering a void and had to stop and hold on to something. People were walking around me, children laughing, birds flying, the waves gently hitting the shore... But for a few seconds that felt like an eternal moment, it was as if everything was frozen, all fell silent and came to a huge stand still... I felt as if something had departed and left a huge void behind it...

That night I had a dream. I was at a school, a dormitory of some sort. I was there to move in but could not find my room or my bed. Everyone was minding their own business and walking around quite indifferent towards one another. I felt a bit out of place but thought to myself "I have another year to spend here, maybe I'll find a few others like me"... When I woke up I knew that these were Shaumbra and that the dorm was the collective space of Shaumbra consciousness.

Then I realized all this is about my Shaumbra aspect. I realized that *I* am not Shaumbra, and that Shaumbra is an aspect that has served me so wonderfully in this time of amazing, wondrous transition. I also realized that if it is an aspect, there will come a time when it will no longer serve me and I will have to release it when that time comes.

I guess this is what Tobias meant when he said that most of us will have a spiritual crisis in the next two years. The more we hold on to this aspect, the more difficult it will become to release it and the more painful the crisis will be.

At least for me I know that this is why I felt that the Shouds have changed. I feel that the Shouds have served their time and they are not really even messages to ourselves from the collective Shaumbra consciousness anymore. They are more like mutual conversations among friends. Actually I think the last message that Tobias delivered to us through the Shaumbra consciousness was in August 2007. When I first listened to that Shoud, I felt a deep sadness from Tobias, almost like a loving parent who is sending off her children into adulthood away from home. And they already said during the Quantum Leap channels that we are now the conductors of our own trains. I guess since then we've become (or are learning to become) our own parents, our own guides, our own teachers. Tobias and company are now only friends who are walking alongside us.

Perhaps just like Gaia is leaving Earth so that our divinity can step in and take charge of earth, so is Shaumbra consciousness leaving us on an individual basis, so that our own divinity will step in and take charge of our own lives. I guess this is what I felt when I had that sudden feeling of a void emerging on the 8th... It is a bit unsettling, but I also feel a strange kind of excitement, almost like leaving home and my beloved, loving parents behind to start my long-awaited journey into full adulthood on my own.

Karma

my awareness of karma is this. when coming into life from the point of you that is god, there is no karma. karma is the engine that draws one to that realization. karma is a friend, brutal if resisted and sweet if attended to, it is a friend for the unaware. but for the aware, for those who are aware that they are god, and whom come into life from that very pure point of light, for us there is no karma. there is nothing to resolve, when you are the spiritual artist, when you are the creator. karma is the decision that occurs when you, as god, do not make one. when energies that are tough come into my life, there is no longer any blind response. there is conscious response. conscious response, from an integrated human, makes the blind engine of karma obsolete.

About the Election

In the 1960's, when much of the huge needed social changes were began and legislated, the whole true beginning of the Equal Rights Movement, and the debacle of Viet Nam, what really made these changes truly take place was not whomever was in office. Johnson, Nixon, and Kennedy's short time. It was not the government. It was the movement and demonstrations coming from the bottom up. It was the protesters. The voice of the people.

I really do feel that no matter who wins, it will be up to the voice of the people, the collective if you will, to truly manifest the needed changes.

Just to me, it seems like many are giving away their personal power and choice and voice for change to a *HERO*. Whatever side he or she is on.

I truly do trust that no matter who wins, or even how they win, the collective of true, active, caring individuals will be the ones who manifest the needed changes. And they actually do exist on both sides. Their visions of it are simply different.

I also really feel that government legislated control and corruption just won't work any more. The strong youth of today will not *blindly* follow anyone's rules or laws. I simply trust that whatever needs to come to light, no matter how it does, will.

Can you trust that your personal sovereignty will not be impugned no matter who wins?

Can you trust that evolution-wise the planet is at a stage where the planet will not end and the collective energies truly are at a point of greater good in the end?

Can you allow for everyone to just do whatever they feel is best, without falling into an arrogant judgment and condemning others who do not agree, while following your own heart with all the passion you feel?

Can you leap behind the short wall and know you are perfect, capable, and wise, no matter what, without expecting a hero to save you? Even while cheering him or her on?

A Reminder

(Tell me again why we came to this planet to do all this crazy stuff?)

For some reason I want to say - Some days we may be little humans, but every moment of every day we're creating miracles, though we may get so involved in our everyday lives that we forget, or get bogged down, but to remember, if we can, to look sideways quickly out of the corner of our eyes, and we'll see the potentials of our new creations twinkling away, preparing to be born.

We CAN do this, and we ARE

Crossover Time

Seeking, searching, looking for a clue
What to think? What to do?
Embracing the new, leaving the old behind
Relax, breathe deeply; it’s Crossover Time

Your life’s a mess, you’re totally confused
You’ve lost your job, you’ve been abused
You’re hurt, you’re angry, afraid you might die
Relax, breathe deeply; it’s Crossover Time

You rant, you rave, you rail, you cry
Try as you might, you can’t understand why
None of the old formulas seem to be working
Relax, breathe deeply; it’s Crossover Time

Cross over to what you ask through the pain
Why shouldn’t I expect just more of the same?
Because the world is changing; that’s the reason why
Relax, breathe deeply; it’s Crossover Time

Time to question, time to trust
What is a desire, what is a must
The musts have to go so the desires can flow
Relax, breather deeply; it’s Crossover Time.
