Simply put...it is time.

[Myriel RAouine]

Simply put...it is time. I went to the Great Council of the Grandmothers today and said, "As we move toward the end of 2012, tension is building about the changes that have been predicted for this time. Grandmothers," I asked, "is there anything you’d like us to know and do to get ready for this change? Smiling patiently, twelve elegant women looked me over and said,“As this year comes to a close, so too do many of the old ways that have for so long held humanity in thrall. Something is finishing now and something new is beginning. No one is responsible for these old ways that are ending now,” they said. “What?” I responded. What did they mean that no one was responsible for the all the terrible things that have taken place here on earth? I had a list I wanted to blame for all the problems in the world and I’d expected the Grandmothers to confirm it. But as this thought crossed my mind, the Grandmothers threw back their heads, laughing uproariously. I was shocked that they would laugh about something so serious, but they smiled indulgently, looked past me and continued. “Just as no one is responsible for the pain of the past, no one is responsible for the shift which is occurring now,” they said and I stared at them, dumbfounded. “It is time,” they said then, giving me a level look. “Simply put…it is time. “Whenever humanity grows tired of contraction, grows tired of a steady diet of fear and dread and decides that it is ready to live with an open heart, no matter what,” they added, “human hearts open. And the opening of the human heart changes everything,” they said, shaking their heads in wonder. “Hearts are opening now," they said. "Even though all around you, you are hearing the death rattle of the old ways—the convulsions of King Greed for instance,"they said, "the shrieking and moaning of those who created systems that treated people as‘things,’ things that existed soly for their own personal gain, these activities are finished. A fresh wind has begun to blow and this wind will blow away contraction, control, and mean-spiritedness of every kind. Believe it!” they said, and with their eyes blazing, they rocked back and forth on their heels. I'd never seen them more determined. Mesmerized, I watched them and then “Uh….uh, Grandmothers,” I said at last, “what would you have us do at this time? How can we help bring about this shift you are speaking of?” Turning to me with a knowing smile, they shook their heads and said, “You need do nothing. Nothing but love,” they amended. “Take every opportunity to love,” they said. “Be the walking prayer we’ve told you that you are. It is your nature to live in love,” they said, “so live your nature. Be who you are,” they said, “and enjoy being alive. Hold to the Net of Light,” they added, “and observe how the Net of Light holds you. You are precious to the light,” they said, “and the Net of Light supports you at every moment of your life. You are the light within the Net!”they exclaimed. “Claim this birthright now," they urged. "It is time.” http://www.grandmothersspeak.com
