Lightsmith Updates

I know there is plenty to read here. Please bear with me because it
feels like a page has turned in our collective story, and there are a
few things to explain.

Perhaps you can sense how much has been moving around since the
Solstice....shifting, clarifying, coming into alignment. We're all
finding our pathways through this transformation, and even though it
may seem that our individual stories are different, a common thread is
usually running just under the surface. Sometimes what is RIGHT THERE
is missed, and in a moment seems to be revealed. So goes the journey
of becoming more conscious, and so goes our journey here at
Lightsmith.

The intent within Lightsmith is to assist in bringing about a New
Creation. In part, we do that by listening for what's next in the
scheme of things, and then sharing what we find. Often, the shifts
present themselves in the personal sessions Michele has with clients.
When numbers of people are working through similar processes, a
pattern becomes evident and we become aware of �what�s up� in a
particular energetic period.

What we are becoming aware of in this moment is something to which
virtually everyone will likely relate. Have you spent years doing
healing, releasing, and preparing to enter a new experience? Do the
words of seemingly endless articles touting the promise of a new world
hold little energy for you these days? Do you find yourself
unsuccessfully trying to apply spiritual teachings or learned
techniques in an attempt to create a different set of circumstances in
your life? Have you felt depressed or down, wondering what all your
effort has been for, especially when things don�t seem to be working
the way you were led to believe they would? If so, take some comfort
in knowing that you�re not alone. Below, I'll share a perspective on
why your experiences of re-creating your life may currently be less
than optimal.

Over the years, our core message at Lightsmith has been that one
template for reality is dying, a new one is birthing, and many people
are completing a long soul journey within one while becoming aware of
the other. Assisting that transition and helping to navigate uncharted
territory is what we offer through Lightsmith programs and events. We
speak of a New Living Field, a merger of Light and Life, now present
and existing simultaneously with the old duality template. This
temporary arrangement of two accessible, yet vibrationally separated
worlds provides a time for transition, while also allowing each soul a
choice of reality in which to continue. For many years, a number of
people have been more or less consciously releasing from the old
structures and embodying the new. Others are in the process, but are
doing so less consciously. It's only a matter of what path each has
chosen, and the details don't really matter.

What does matter now is which system you reference as you make your
choices in each moment. The New Field is present as an option, and I
believe that most of us desire to be in that new experience. Yet,
creating within it requires a focus of attention different than what
was learned in duality. To be sure, none of us have a good deal of
expertise in the new system, so don't expect to find any kind of
operator's manual. We may share what we have been discovering, but
we're learning as we go.

One thing we have been learning more recently is how we often
reference our experiences in duality while attempting to create within
the structures of the new matrix. The New Field, for example, does not
respond to thought directives attempting to realize agendas or goals.
That quality alone makes obsolete most duality-grown systems where
mental energy is attempting to control outcomes. We learned such
systems in an attempt to make our experiences different, but we have
since found them much less effective as the duality matrix continues
to disassemble. Also, we likely don't wish to remain in that old
system, so expertise established within it will need to evolve as it
references the new operating system of Living Light.

Most of us are coming out of a long immersion in duality, and we
continue to reference our experiences within that structure. We may
lay claim to everything about the New Field, yet we may also tend to
unconsciously relate to what is most familiar. It's completely
understandable that we have done so. And, now we have a new practice.
The practice is not meditation, ritual, or recitation of more dogma.
The practice is one of paying attention to what we are referencing.

Within the field of duality, our reference has been our pain, sense of
lack, powerlessness and all the other things with which we are plenty
familiar. If we reference those places within us, we may attempt to
change the experiences by defining what we think will stop the
feelings we have had. For instance, we want more abundance, but it is
referenced to our experience of lack. We want intimacy, but it is
still bound by a fear of vulnerability because of past experiences. We
then employ techniques that worked to some extent within duality, but
find that our circumstances change little.

Referencing the New Living Field of Creation has a different effect.
Within it we stand as Creators within Creation, Light within Life,
merged within a new medium for creating experience. The entire system
is set up for one thing: to bring to manifestation the fulfillment of
our soul embodied, and to support each one to express fully and freely
according to their innate design while everyone else does the same.

Do you really have any idea what that fulfillment and co-creative
experience would feel like? Probably not, and not surprising given the
number of lifetimes we created in the old duality system. We've been
letting go of old structures, and it seems that the next step is to
let go of how we related to that reality, to shift the place of
reference completely beyond the old story and begin to choose a new
reference for creating all of Life.

Might it be that choosing soul fulfillment as the reference in an
operating system designed for that purpose is way more effective than
saying all the affirmations in the world to create a fatter paycheck?
I'm just asking. And that, by the way, happens to be one of the
principles of creating in the New Field. Asking. We just need to be
clear from what place we are doing so.

And then there's receiving. Next chapter���.

Back soon,

Chris

As you might expect, the commentary above is a prelude to what
direction we will take with some of our events over the coming weeks.
We begin with the Tuesday Tune-Ups for July. The focus is "Shifting
from the Old to the New Matrix as the Foundation for Creation".

The first Tune-Up is next week on Tuesday the 10th, and the second is
on Tuesday the 24th. Even though we title them the same, they are
often quite different in process depending on who is participating.
You may find benefit from either or both. As I've said before, I
consider these Tune-Ups some of the most potent and effective
processes we offer, partly because of the group energy field that is
formed. Remember that you can join us in person or by phone.

The cost is $30. We start at 7pm CDT, and you'll find more information
on our site at

NEW! We're excited to add a new event to our schedule. We wanted to
created the opportunity for the Earth Mother to more regularly
interact with us, and will be offering Earth Mother Mondays. We're
not yet sure whether these sessions will be once or twice per month,
but we do know that the first channeling is scheduled for Monday, July
30th.

The Earth Mother is a regular visitor to our Second Saturday
Channeling series, but those visits usually have a specific purpose
and she is more merged with other Spirit beings that join her for
those presentations. Earth Mother Mondays will be more intimate
evenings with opportunities to dialogue and experience her nature more
directly. You will have a chance to ask questions, and you can be sure
that she will have lots of information and a process or two.

The cost is $30, and we will begin at 7pm, CDT. I do not yet have a
web page about Earth Mother Mondays, but watch our site for a link in
the coming week.

On Saturday, July 28th, Michele and Chris will be co-teaching a
program we call Choosing the New Field of Living Light; a Day of
Immersion with Chris and Michele. We last offered this event at the
end of March, and it is continually evolving along with us. If you
want to begin to have the experience of what the new field feels like,
we invite you to join us for a full day of information and
experiential processes. The cost for the day is $140 (lunch on your
own). Pre-registration is appreciated, but not essential. You can read
more about the day on our calendar description at

I will have additional updates about each of these events as the dates
approach. For now, we invite you to join us next Tuesday evening for
the Tune-Up on referencing the New Field, and the following Saturday
for our Second Saturday Channeling with Archangel Metatron.
