Stay on your current path, dear one. We are astonished and proud of your successful efforts to build an altruistic society. A society that is more aligned with what we in spirit envision for the future of humanity. We were certain that you and your team would be able to successfully usher in a new world and new way of living that no human has ever experienced. We want to assist you with the building of the skyscraper. We will be sending help your way, which will eliminate more than half of the time it will take to construct it. You and the community will be shocked at how this help will come about and it may even bring up some fear for many of you. We want you to know that you have nothing to fear and we encourage you to accept the help that is offered. We do want to forewarn you that when help arrives, a presently covert but malevolent presence among you will begin to make itself known. These beings belong to a group who are on a separate mission from you, an opposing mission. They are working to prevent the forward movement of a heart-centered society on earth. We will keep you on a need-to-know basis as far as this is concerned. For now, continue to move forward. We send our love to you all. Remember, dear one, fear is just an illusion. Until next time.

A teardrop hit the paper as Lienora lifted her pen. Her emotions could get the best of her when receiving channeled messages from her spirit guides, particularly when it was from Master Windahlla, but there was something about this channeling that struck a chord. It came into her awareness that a shift was taking place. Not only was the world around her changing, but something inside of her was different as well. “Change is good”, “change is good”, she repeated to herself. This was her mantra of sorts when things felt out of her control. She closed her eyes and took three long deep breaths. She was a bit hesitant about sharing the channeling with the group. She didn't want to cause discord or make anyone worried, but she knew that it was important that everyone was well aware of the changes to come. Warm rays caressed her face as she took notice of the magnificent golden sunset on the horizon and remembered it was time to depart Muhladara Hill and head back if she wanted to make it to the evening meditation.

Back at camp Sadhana, Drisco led one of the evening meditation circles. He was Lienora's best friend and right hand. The two of them along with two others made up a group called the way-showers. Instead of being in control and making decisions for the community, they were viewed as guides and they led by example in every way. Drisco was known in the community as the “zen one”. Nothing ever bothered him or could take him out of character. He wasn't himself today, he was anxious and out of sorts. He woke up in a frantic state after having a lucid dream that unsettled him. To make matters worse, soon after waking, he had a vision which he often did, but this particular vision frazzled him because it was a replica of the dream he'd had. Intuitively, he knew that it meant something. All day he had this feeling of urgency, like something unexpected was on the horizon. He needed to share all of this with Lienora but they had both been busy all day. It was five minutes until the meditation circle would begin and he could see Lienora off in the distance making her way back from Muhladara hill. He ran up to meet her. “Nora, do you think you can lead the group in meditation? I'm not myself today. Sure, but why? What's wrong? she asked. Let's talk later, there's something I need to tell you, answered Drisco. OK, she replied as they both headed back to the group.

video ideasLienora quickly checked in with the other group guides to see if they were ready to begin. It was important to them that each group meditate simultaneously. They believed that a person's thoughts created their reality and that they could intentionally create the world around them. Meditation was used as a tool to do so. With the entire community focusing on one common goal, combining all of their intentions, together they could construct the future they dreamed of. This was a core belief of this new society. Twenty minutes into the meditation, the sound of a low hum was heard across the community. Shortly after the hum began, people started noticing a subtle vibration resonating from the ground. As the distractions continued, more and more people stopped meditating. Lienora wasn't sure what was happening and from the looks on everyone's faces, they had no clue either. She glanced over at Drisco, noticed the look of dread on his face, and made her way over to him. Nora, this humming and the ground shaking, it was all part of my dream last night and the vision I had. What dream? she asked. That's what I wanted to talk to you about, he stuttered. Before Drisco could get another word out, the humming sound grew exceptionally louder and a group of three blinding white lights flashed in the sky. The lights were blinking inside of what appeared to be snow globes but in the shape of eggs. The lights grew closer and closer as the entire community stared into the sky in bewilderment. About five minutes passed, the lights vanished and the humming halted. For at least another ten minutes, everyone stood there with their eyes glued to the sky waiting for something to happen. Suddenly, out of nowhere, about fifteen feet from the ground in mid-air, the three white lights appeared above the community. The lights began to slowly dim until you could clearly see that within the globe-like cylinders were what appeared to be human beings who couldn't be distinguished as either male or female. They began to communicate telepathically with the whole of the community. “There is no need for fear. We have come to assist you in taking the next steps in your plan for this community's future. We want to assist in the construction of the skyscraper. We are aware that, in your linear time here on earth, it could take you years, as well as an overwhelming amount of resources and supplies. We are very much invested in the success of the human race and we fully support the direction in which you are headed. More importantly, we are aware of a threat to your success. There are forces that have remained dormant for over almost 2,000 years now. They didn't think that, after the great fall of society, humans could come back from it and, when they realized that they would, they never thought that they would be able to rebuild such a conscious society. A conscious society is the opposite of what they want for you because they know they will not be able to control you like they have in your former society. Therefore, they have chosen to intervene and put a stop to your forward movement. We have come forward to assist you but also to protect you.” The vibration of the ground turned into more of a rumbling. It shook so intensely that no one could maintain their balance. “We have come to take you with us until we can successfully and once and for all completely remove this sinister presence from the earth.” The people of the community were terrified and in a state of disbelief. From where everyone stood there was a clear view of Muhladara hill. At that moment, the entire hill and the ground beneath it began to part into two. Ascending from the ground were a group of six reptile-like creatures. They stood on two feet and had two arms, but their skin was dark green and scale-like. They stood about ten feet tall. As they arose from the ground, their attention went directly to the three beings that hovered above the community. “You must leave now if you want to survive”, stated one of the three beings. How do we know we can trust you? yelled a woman from the community. “There is no time to waste. Lienora please reassure them of our intentions.”, replied one of the three beings. “Master Windahlla warned me that this would happen. I just hadn't had a chance to tell everyone. They also said there was a malevolent presence that would show up soon. We have to trust them!” she yelled.

Everyone, please stand completely still and we'll have you out of here in a blink of an eye, insisted the beings. One of the translucent globe-like objects surrounded each member of the community and they were lifted from the ground and into the sky. Before anyone realized what was happening, they were landing on the ground of an unknown planet that looked nothing like earth. The sky was a deep dark blue and there appeared to be something similar to the earth's moon, but it was blood-red in color. As each person landed, the globe that surrounded them disintegrated. Everyone was extremely emotional at that point and in a state of shock. Everyone, simmer down, everything is OK, we're safe now! Yelled Lienora. Drisco spotted Lienora and sprinted towards her, yelling her name as he ran. Nora! Nora! What's wrong, Drisco!? She asked. I don't think it was a good idea to come here. He cried. Drisco, did you see those creatures come out of the ground?! She yelled in frustration. “Yes, but that's what I needed to talk to you about. It was all in the dream as well as the vision I had. You were informed by Master Wahadalla that help was on the way but also that an enemy would appear soon. Long story short, you mistook the enemy for those sent to help us and we ended up becoming prisoners to a sinister alien race.” Cried Drisco. Lienora had a look of dread as a tear rolled down her cheek. The three humanoid beings appeared before the group with a look of victory on their faces and smirked. “We'd like to welcome you all to your new home. You'll never see earth again.”
