immediately following December 21st.
As of February 13th, while there is
still a mild sense of disappointment
over what did and did not happen on
December 21st, the overall message is
about forging ahead and about taking
action to ensure that Ascension happens
after all. The lead messages on February
13th, for example, were about nova
Earth Day, a world-wide event taking
place on February 14th.
Site creator Steve Beckow’s entry
states:
Tomorrow is nova Earth Day. And
nova Earth Day has several objects.
The first is to send a Valentine to
Mother Earth, to gaia … Archangel
Michael gave us our marching orders
for that day: “[nova Earth Day] is a
celebration of the new, it is a celebration

of the divine qualities, and it is a
celebration of love. There are many on
this side, particularly the Council of
Love, that are finally joyous that this is
being acknowledged. [Valentine’s Day]
has been a day of love for a long time,
but not in the true universal sense …
nova Earth Day has other objects as
well, most prominent among which is to
draw attention to discrimination against
and the persecution of women, not just
in our neighborhood, our city or our
nation, but around the world. It’s a day
to shake off from ourselves all unloving
thoughts and to commit to stopping
all unloving behavior. This alone
will accelerate our entry into higher
dimensionality.

Entrepreneurship as Self-Expression
To create is uniquely human and this ability is not restricted to the arts. Anyone who turns a business idea into
reality has expressed themselves creatively in a way that gives their work meaning beyond “making a living.”
If you are someone with an unfulfilled business ownership vision who also feels like a professional part of
them is unspoken, this session is for you. Join author and professor Dr. Ed Paulson as he presents entrepreneurship
as a mode of self-expression that not only serves your personal and financial growth but also allows
you to more fully serve others.

from around the world including los
Angeles, India, the Philippines, the
United Kingdom and Thailand. I was
impressed. I can really resonate with the
idea that if Ascension is going to ever
get here, we are going to have to get
proactive about it.
My Advice: Stay tuned. I’m an optimist
and always hopeful that we can and will
transform ourselves and our world into
a much better and more enlightened
place. However, although the idea of
radical Ascension happening through
galactic intervention is tempting, so
far there is no real evidence for its
imminent occurrence. On the other
hand, it seems that José Stephens may
just be right: great transformation
is on the horizon and it’s up to us to
make sure it really happens. So my
advice is: Don’t quite your day job—or
the traditional meditation, prayer or
spiritual techniques that have helped
you steer a steady course through
all those storms of life. But also,
let us meditate, pray and use those
spiritual techniques to raise the overall
vibrational frequencies that can allow
great transformations to happen.
