Avoid the News

Avoid the News

A Message from The Collective

Channel: Caroline Oceana Ryan
Posted on January 30, 2025

 

 

Avoid the News, Empath! Keep your energies higher than that!
Especially if you’re an empath, it’s crucial now to release the habit of being over-informed.
It’s easy to be manipulated by the lower energies of most news reports.
So let the news cycle go, and open to receive the Love and support shared from the beautiful beings of the Collective in their latest Message to Lightworkers:

This week’s guidance from the Ascended Masters, Archangels, Star Nations families, Earth elements, Fae elders, Angelic legions, Dragon tribes, and other Light Beings known as the Collective.

THE COLLECTIVE: Greetings, dear ones! We are very pleased to speak with you today.

And so, our writer has asked that we speak to the current situation on the Earth, as so much is happening now that feels to be disturbing or difficult as it reaches you in news reports, or online discussions or interpretations of what is going on now.

Many are online offering insights of one kind or another.

Much of it is the strictly “left-brain” viewpoint of modern journalism, which it must be said, is often a kind of storytelling based on false information or supposition, much of it based on “official statements” from the old power structure.

Some of what one hears online are messages received from psychics or intuitives. Some of it, very spiritually aware in essence.

And some of what reaches you is a combination of these.

And we would say, listen to your inner nudges, and respect the leanings of your own heart-space, friends, regarding what or how much to take in of this ongoing torrent of information.

Take in only that which flows positively with your energies and outlook, and leave the rest.

You will still receive enough information to know what is basically happening, yet will not be overwhelmed, or manipulated into feeling bad about life.

You may choose not to watch the mainstream or even the alternative news reports anymore, for example, if you feel your energetic vibration lowering as you do so.

This does not mean that you no longer care about other people, and what is happening in the world.

Most assuredly, you do care! You care greatly.

We see that in your heart-space.

And that sensitivity is a very great reason to guard your emotions and your mental focus from manipulation of any kind.

You may be aware of the spells that were long ago cast on your modern news media, to bring the vibration of the listener or viewer down to feelings of extreme passivity, sorrow, loss, even hopelessness.

You will need to retrain your thinking now, so as to choose only that news which you feel in your heart-space is honest and real, as well as encouraging, as your world is in many ways still steeped in third dimensional forms and vibrations.

We would also say, gather your own news!

As you get quiet and tune in inwardly, what are you feeling or sensing is happening on the Earth now?

As you tune into Lady Gaia Herself, and tune into these beautiful Golden Light particles flowing to Earth, affecting every living thing, and Ascending their frequencies to new and higher levels—what are you sensing?

Are you sensing the despair that the news reports often spark in the viewer?

Or are you feeling the aliveness of these Light particles, and the power of their Transformative presence?

Are you starting in some ways to remember lives in which you related to Nature as a collection of individual presences, roles, and personalities, all of them woven into one beautiful, shining fabric?

If you can find a bit of woods to hike in (weather permitting), or a patch of trees in a city park, or some plant or animal life on the land you live on—what do you sense there?

Right now, all of Nature is tuning in to the intergalactic messages and solar tonal vibrations being flowed to Earth and Her beings.

Nature’s beautiful living presences are rejoicing that their own prayers have been heard, and that their own voices of Creation (and yours) can now become stronger.

Much of this is palpable to the one who is willing to tune into it, and to rejoice at the New Life pouring in to everyone on Earth, whatever their circumstances.

You may have read how some of the contacts of the White Knights of the Ashtar Command at RainbowRoundtable.net, in their News Updates, speak of how “everything is getting better and brighter” on the planet.

Yet this realization is not easily reached by the one who is taken in by the dark presentations of the old order, in this great holographic field you live in.

This out-playing of thought and energy that most still take as “reality” is anything but, friends!

Yet your experiences and soul journeys are most assuredly real.

This is so, even if you rarely find time to laugh, or to enjoy the colorful brilliance of the flowers or fruits at the market, or do not see the miracles that are trees, small children, and animals.

If you will take a moment to breathe, to stop demanding that the world fix itself so you can feel better about it, something miraculous then has room to flow to you.

You may more feel than hear the tonal vibrations flowing to Earth now to lift every heart, illuminate every mind, detoxify every body.

You may become aware of the movement of many millions of ships—fleets of beings you call “ETs” (though some are family to you), and Angelics of every order, as well as Archangels and Ascended Masters, working constantly to steer the great ship you live on into a place of Peace and higher Light.

We are aware, of course, that many of you are stressed with work deadlines, family issues, health issues, bills to pay, and so on.

We are aware that you are not blissfully floating about some great starship and greeting old friends at your leisure—

Or are you?

Can you account for where your spirit and consciousness are, every moment of the night as your body is sleeping?

You cannot, for you do not see the colorful portals of Light you travel through in your spirit body each night, to meet your soul family, and to confer with them and others on your Earth mission.

You speak to them often about your soul growth in this Earth life. And where the Earth is headed now in those areas you are dedicated to assisting.

All things must change, dear ones.

So much is shifting now that does not speak to you only through your outer eyes and ears.

As you Ascend, you are regaining the ability to hear and to see inwardly, especially as you meet in meditation with your guides and higher self, your soul family, or any beautiful being of Light you wish to connect with.

Many of you are recalling the lives in which you connected easily with the Faery realm, or a Dragon friend, or spoke inwardly with animals.

Or with trees, and heard their histories.

For trees are great storytellers. And all of their stories are real ones!

All of this is real, as well as the fact that you are greatly loved and assisted now by beings who have existed for thousands, even millions of years, and whose voices are available to you if you will listen.

For some, hearing inwardly is easily accomplished—they simply call on whomever they wish to speak with, ask their question, and listen as the answer comes forth.

Others receive information in outer ways—in symbols they might see or things they read, or comments in conversation that seem to be sheer coincidence, yet they know in their heart that this is a message they are meant to receive.

Others will say to their Spirit team, “Just drop your guidance into my thinking! Infuse my thoughts with your wisdom.

“I’ll know it’s you. Those ideas will just feel Lighter, and will bring me some form of Peace I didn’t have before.”

Others receive images or messages in dreams, through oracle cards, through automatic writing or drawing—choose what you feel most comfortable with, dear ones!

But open to this higher wisdom as your new “news report,” and the one most applicable to your life.

Affirm aloud now if you wish, “I AM open to receiving Divine Knowing and Divine Wisdom at all times!”

And release the obsession with receiving information outwardly, as if that were the only way to learn about something.

As a baby, you had no faculty for such—yet look at how quickly you learned so much, and mainly from your intuition and very open connection to this Universe!

You may know the beautiful old reminder, “Listen! The Earth is singing.”

Remind yourself of this often, for indeed the Earth is singing!

And cease to crown as king or queen of your thoughts and emotional vibration anyone with a microphone or a news desk who seems to speak authoritatively on something you feel you know little about.

You know more than they do, friends! Believe us as we say that.

Because your gaze is lifted far higher than that narrow sliver of false or misleading information that the old power structure allows them to share with you.

They have no authority. All of that is yours now.

And so, will you rejoice in that, and treat all, including yourself, with great kindness now?

Your leadership as a Being of Light and higher Love is much needed, and irreplaceable in your Ascending world.

Move into that space, and give Thanks, even when all your “modern world” training says that is nonsense.

You have outgrown them.

We send much Love, dear ones—you are much further down the path than you can imagine!

All Is Well.

Namaste! We are with you, always.

Guidance and Energy Influxes

Guidance and Energy Influxes

Message from The Collective

Channel: Caroline Oceana Ryan

Posted on September 29, 2024

 

 

TC: Greetings, friends! We are very pleased to have this time to speak with you today.

This week our writer has a question for us: COR: My friends, a powerful influx of Light has been coming into the planet — even more powerful than usual, and starting with the partial eclipse of the recent Full Moon. It then extended into the Autumn Equinox a few days ago, with further Light transmissions to come yet this month. This is a lot to handle at once!

It’s great to receive this much Light. It brings much healing for humanity and the Earth, and all Her beings.

Yet it also brings upheaval, as all that is unhealed in human life, in groups and individuals, comes up to be faced and dealt with.

Whole parts of our subconscious naturally arm themselves against this shift, because the subconscious reacts, thinking we might be in danger.

So it will resist taking in some of this Light. How do we deal with that resistance?

So many of us will eat the wrong foods — more sugar and starches — or drinking more or getting high more often.

Or an obsession with media and the internet, etc. — anything to stop feeling that “it’s too intense to handle.”

Any guidance you can offer is appreciated!  

THE COLLECTIVE: We would say, this Light that is coming to you now is very special and very powerful indeed.

You may have heard from the White Knights of the Ashtar Command that there are energies flowing in now from the 100th dimension, and this is so.

This Light is your emissary, your messenger from a place of incredibly high vibration—a sacred and holy place, some might say, as it comes from Creator God / Goddess or Source Energy with wishes that all on the Earth begin to remember their own Divinity.

That is a pleasant-sounding phrase that you have all been long familiar with.

Yet it goes much further than that, friends!

This is the beginning of Earth’s people starting to grasp that you are not only Galactic Beings, but Intergalactic Beings.

Citizens of a planet, yes, but also citizens of a Universe.

Given that, the age-old third dimensional human impulses are beginning to realize their day is done.

These include the “need” that lower vibrational souls will feel to cause chaos, to live with violence as a matter of course or a natural part of life—some believe, a “solution.” And the far more common belief in physical and mental degradation and early death (after only 100 years or less), amongst other old paradigms and belief systems. None of those systems have served you in life, except to help you fulfill your pre-incarnation curiosity about them. Or to support your decision to learn and grow from them on a soul level. Or from efforts to replace them with higher vibrational situations.

As this very special, very powerful Light pours in, it comes in with the energetics of many thousands of intergalactic cultures of which you have all been a part, in one life or another, or connected with in the higher realms.

And so you are also receiving messages from loved ones within those cultures—from soul family, old friends, former or current colleagues within the Galactic Federation (or Intergalactic Confederation), and so on.

These ones do not speak merely to say “Hello! We are here!” as joyful as that is!

They wish for you to begin literally carrying yourself as an Intergalactic Being in your everyday energies, and over time, in your thoughts and realizations about Who you really are.

For some, this is a natural and smooth occurrence.

For others, who are also dealing with much old trauma that is surfacing, there may be quite an inner struggle happening.

This is where meditation and high vibrational music can assist you. Even if you do not feel that you image inwardly very well, the energies of meditation, including quiet time spent in Nature, can bring the subconscious into a quiet yet ongoing acceptance of these new energies and all they hold.

Likewise, chanting or singing Sanskrit mantras, and speaking or writing out affirmations about how it is safe and good for you to heal, to awaken, to become your higher self.

All of these are a way of opening a door in your psyche and spirit which know and feel that integrating this powerful Light and the essences, messages, and sound vibrations that it holds is safe, pleasant, and healing. And a big part of your current life, willingly taken on by you and your soul family.

In a sense, we would be misleading you to say that it should be all easy, all smooth sailing.

We would be misleading you if we said this time can be easy if you just allow it, as all of your 3D training is powerfully resisting this new growth many days, and that can be disturbing, exhausting, and even feel defeating at times.

Yet recall that in this Light, you are able to manifest what you desire far more quickly, which can provide some support as you travel this path.

Recall that your meditations take on new healing and revelatory power now, as you open to new insights from the Universe, your soul, and all the Angelic powers of the higher planes.

And realize as well that in this Light, you will experience more heart-opening moments than you have in the past. And with it, a feeling at times of new optimism, new beginnings, new possibilities and potentials that in the past you would have shrugged off as “unlikely or impossible.”

We would say, go ahead and admit that what you are experiencing is very hard some days, while encouraging and positive other days.

Be kind as you are honest with yourself that this path is a steep one at times, yet somehow, it leads you back Home to loved ones and more Joy than we can express in any modern language. This is where the power of higher vibrational music comes in—the vibration of those sounds can lead the subconscious to remember the Joy of the higher realms, so that it allows in more Transformation in this new Light.

Be patient with yourself and others as the heart-opening pulls you to new places which can reveal vulnerabilities—and yet, no embarrassment to that, as you increasingly release the old 3D ego-based defenses and the need to take yourself and outer life so seriously.

Open to healing from your soul, from healers in body and in the etheric! Call for the support you require now! It desires to come to you.

There is still laughter and Joy, dear friends! They await you in great quantities, along with the many beautiful forms of Love and Abundance that your heart has long cried out for.

And so we would say, Open to receive!

You have already been aware of the path and its many high Presences for a long time.

Welcome this new Presence — your higher self, stepping into your human body in new and unprecedented ways, though still also located in the higher realms.

We welcome you to your 5D life! Open the door wide—as co-Creator you have helped to make this, and it shines with astounding brilliance.

Namaste, dear ones! You are never alone.

Earth Must Move to a Higher Level

Earth Must Move to a Higher Level

The Collective

Channel: Caroline Oceana Ryan

Posted on November 22, 2023

 

 

Greetings, dear ones!

We are very pleased to have this moment to speak with you today.

We are aware that many of you have been greatly saddened upset by the outbreak of war in different parts of the world, particularly in the Middle East.

And that it can feel to you at times that Earth life is only getting more difficult in the Light of these solar particles flow in, and not better or easier.

And we would say, you are correct that much has become more difficult.

Yet, not to complicate or upset the Earth population in permanent ways.

There are a number of reasons why things appear harder and more entrenched in difficulty now, while much higher Light is pouring in.

One of the reasons why these events are occurring, is that humanity is reaching for a critical mass moment, in which you decide en masse that Earth life must move to a higher level.

Vibrationally, as well as outwardly. And you are aware that the one tends to draw powerfully on the other—outer events direct the energy of the place they are located in, and energies constantly co-Create outer situations, wherever those energies are focused and intended.

What you imagine in your heart-space to be true also has a powerful influence on the timeline you live on, and the playing out of events on that timeline.

Those inner images, backed by strong emotion, hold great power in co-Creational terms for what you create, whether consciously and unconsciously.

As you gaze at any hard issue or event, and hold within your heart the command that “Divine Love and Divine Justice are the only reality here,” you powerfully invite in the Truth to take the place of lies.

You powerfully invite in Peace to take the place of violence.

And you invite in new life and a renewal of life to take the place of loss.

We cannot make these decisions for you, nor enact complete change on your behalf, as Universal law forbids any overriding of free will on your planet.

We cannot assist beyond what you call out to us for, and we are glad that so many of you have not only written to your elected representatives to say No More to armed conflict, but have also called out to us for assistance of a higher nature.

And so, yes—there are numerous ships above all scenes of war, of hunger, of extreme weather.

There is great assistance occurring now, both energetically and on the ground, and not because we have decided that that would be best for all of you.

These interventions are taking place because you require that of us.

And we as your partners in Earth’s Ascension path, step up to the role of supporting your energetic frequencies with forms of support that align with your own determinations and high intent.

We do ask that you honor the paths of those who appear to be suffering now—and certainly in Earth terms, they are indeed suffering, and badly so.

Yet they are not without choices, without higher selves and souls, or without the Love and support of many millions around the world, though they are too distressed to feel that immediately.You will make your way to Divine Justice on your planet.

And you will move to bless and heal these dear ones who have lost family, home, community, and live in fear and hunger now.

Particularly in the Middle East—what occurs on the land that so many have called sacred for millennia is nothing less than a transfiguration of the model of human suffering as a way of life, and a way of spiritual growth.

It need not be!

All can learn to grow with Joy and from a place of Peaceful forms of interest in reaching higher consciousness.

Suffering need not be the way of Earth life.

It need not be considered the requirement for realizing that life must consist of a heart-based mindfulness that honors all, including the self.

You are not so far from this as you imagine, friends who are family! Please believe and accept this in your heart-space.

We know that many situations in many places appear dire for many now.

Yet you are, in your compassion, using your voices in empowering ways, and standing for the right of all to live, and beyond that, to flourish.

You are transmuting so much of the disempowerment you were taught over the centuries, and moving forward at Light speed into fulfillment of your fifth dimensional vibration.

Is one truly alone, when the bombs fall or the fires rage? When the food and water run out? When loved ones die? When there is no safe place to sleep at night?

Most assuredly, you are never alone. Your soul family and your Angelic guardians are always beside you.

And you are learning to overcome what you see!

You are grasping now the power of co-Creating a world in which all are given the choice to live in Peace and in a balanced and healthy environment.

The dark forces have been openly exposing themselves, in this Light you are all holding.

They have been accidentally disclosing much of their plans, so that the masses only awaken all the further as they begin to grasp the old machinations as no longer to be tolerated or trusted.

And all of you, holding Light for your Lady Gaia—are you so easily fooled by outer appearance, that you would call that your reality?

Where we are, dear ones, we see the power of the Love you hold for one another—for those who live thousands of miles away, whose children you hold in your hearts as if they were of your own families.

From where we are, we see you making active choice for the liberation of your own world, and for the planting of Divine Love in every situation, every location upon the planet.

And for this we must thank you, for this is work no one can do for you—even the Angels stand now, from their places on Earth and in the higher planes, and affirm, “Let it be so! The Earth is of the Light, and none shall turn her away from it.”

And so it is.

We send great Love, dear ones, and many Thanks for all you are.

We are honored to assist, as you request our support.

And you are never alone.

Namaste!

What is the Point of Suffering?

What is the Point of Suffering?

The Collective with Mother Sekhmet

Channel: Caroline Oceana Ryan

Posted on May 25, 2024

 

 

This week’s guidance from the Ascended Masters, Archangels, Star Nations families, Earth elements, Fae elders, Angelic legions, and other Light Beings known as the Collective:

THE COLLECTIVE: Greetings, friends! We are very pleased to have this time to speak with you today. This week our writer wishes to speak with Mother Sekhmet, who is amongst us always. CAROLINE: Mother Sekhmet, I have been feeling very strongly that the time for humanity to learn from extreme density—violence, and all kinds of trauma such as created by war and other atrocities—is well over. What is the point of our suffering in this way any longer?

It’s not the only way for our souls to grow and evolve!

We see so many suffering in ways that I feel strongly are no longer needed in human life. The Earth is Ascending! We’re in the fifth dimension now! Why are we still mired in all this madness?


MOTHER SEKHMET: Greetings, dear ones! We are pleased to speak with you now. You refer to the last parts of third dimensional Earth life.

This is, as some would say, very bad medicine!

The hardest way to learn—suffering and feeling losses, rage, grief. Other very dark emotions. Physical pain and shock. The human response to these must shift, and you are capable of assisting with that—all of you! As you see others suffering, whether on your streets or in your homes, on your devices—do not decide that they are in dire straits! That their souls are no longer powerful. We do not view only what the human vessel is experiencing!

You are in a body. And so to you, that is the main aspect of what many are experiencing. Their Earth selves, trapped in a small space, with a small outlook. A narrow concept of what is truly happening.

All of us would say, Remember! Remember that you did not come here only to know Joy, but to plant into the Earth ways that Earth life might permanently move out of suffering!

In some cases, children, this means there will indeed be suffering in many a person’s life, even in whole populations, regardless of where those events fall on your timeline. Though Earth has now moved to 5D, the story is still being written! For great evil to finally leave for good, it must be exposed. And some have volunteered to come forth and to allow themselves to experience the annihilation of culture, or personhood, or wellness, so as to remove the rocks under which these ones lie—these ones who steal and kill for their own pleasure and profit. You have sensed that religion and politics are not the main source of the mayhem. They are tools only. There are intergalactic forces at work here, as there have been for thousands of years. Many thousands of years. They have come from different galactic cultures, in fleets of ships and motherships, to steal from Earth, a beautiful living being, that which She requires in order to maintain Her balance and wellness. To them, they are as some say, “valuable resources” or “payload.” A very old story, as is the manipulation of human consciousness into slavery and dark forms of unconsciousness. The using of human life energy, so as to fuel their machinery, the machinations of their dark lords. You and millions of others did not come in at this time only to view the fifth dimension coming into view, and to celebrate such, though this is a thing of great beauty! You came in to cleanse! To usher these ones who manipulate and destroy OUT of your planet and your galaxy. And to call upon Universal justice. A rebalancing of what is known as “power” so that even the smallest and most innocent child is revered in all situations—valued, and kept well and safe from all dark intent. And so yes, there is great movement regarding the growth and expansion of souls, as you say. Suffering need not be the vehicle for this—no! You are all of you capable of growth in Joy and in Peaceful co-existence with all there is. You are right to call upon that now. To expect it and celebrate it and require it to be so! And yet, you are missing important moments, when you require that all move into Joy before their self-chosen assignment for this Earth life is completed. You do indeed see young ones, even very tiny Earth humans, suffering and dying inside war and famine.

You would presume to say, “They ought to be well and healthy, and never troubled by homelessness, invasion, the madness of war.” This is a stance born from the desire that none shall suffer any longer. And yet, given the history of your fine planet, this would be nearly impossible, until the causes of those wars, invasions, and starvations be removed! That is what millions have come in for at this time, though they bear no conscious memory of such. You may weep for those who suffer and their travails, and yet we ask—have they wept for yours? You would say to them, “Please do not feel troubled! I have come in for this! “These issues have troubled me for many Earth lives. I am releasing them now, through these very sufferings that you see no sense in. “And as I do so, I am helping all of Earth life to release these causes, and their results.” Were they to see the power of your and your fellow Light Bearers’ souls, they would bow with respect, and cheer you on, no matter the steepness of the climb! They would never think to say, “Can you not choose a simpler route? Must you suffer to get your work here completed?” And that is similar to saying to the law enforcement worker, “Must you go after the crooks? Can’t you wait till they give themselves up?” Or saying to the healer, “Can’t you just encourage the infection to leave this person’s body? Must you attack it with medicine?” They would laugh! They would say you do not know their work, and they would be correct! You have seen and have yourself ushered dark beings out of someone’s home or energies, and are aware that these would never leave out of their own volition. It takes an energetic source such as the ones willing to hold the issue, and the ones willing to chase it into higher Light, to rid Earth of that intrusion. And so, you are seeing the same in many places! Rather than refer to these ones as those who suffer, thank them for assisting in clearing and cleansing! They are establishing a whole new order of living, and it is not any “order” planned by those who live in shadow. They are aware that their day is ended. They see all the signs. This is another reason why they are acting out so viciously, so much intending to bring down as many people’s vibrations as possible. Because if all continue to rise as they have been, the reign of shadow is shortened even further!

And so yes—you see the suffering, yet you do not see the powerful Light arising as so many send their Love and compassion, and their demands that THIS END NOW. Not your usual goings on, on this planet! Even those who are not writing to their representatives, or demonstrating, are sending their requirement energetically to the so-called governments. They are requiring that the shipping of weapons and money to those who desire war and other mayhem STOP NOW. Do not despair, as you see those who suffer! Hold them in the Light of your own soul, and remind them in that heart-space of the power of their own souls. Thank them for their beautiful work—that even as Earth is rebirthed and Ascending, they were willing to come forth and release all physical safety, as a way to assist in routing out the dark ones in their last days. And to hasten the time when these ones are held accountable, and to therefore bring forth the Light you have all cried out for all the more quickly. We do not blame you for asking these questions, and it is so—growth through Joy awaits all who desire it. Yet do not attempt to negate the power and presence of a soul determined to assist in the cleanup! The arrests, the dismantling of the old structure, both on Earth’s surface and in the hollows of Inner Earth, some of it too long used for dark purposes. Your day dawns, young ones! Note the increasing Light on the horizon. You all have seen such! Be thankful to those who have had the courage to come and release not only their own karma, but that of many millions!

They come not to be saviors, nor victims, but avatars for the cleansing Light of renewal. All Good, all Grace, are yours now, and ever shall be. Namaste! We are with you. Do not doubt!
