You cannot help but change. You are coming more into the Image and Similitude of God. This is the time to shift or it will get difficult, even for the so-called leaders. Remember that you cannot be a leader unless you are also a follower. There is always someone to follow some where, because God is expanding.
Ascension is expansion.
Follow The Christ, the Holy Spirit, and God through your self or through whatever face is before you. Remember, there cannot be a teacher unless there is a student. We cannot rest on yesterday's laurels and last year's trophies. This Time is about Shifting in Moments. Listen to the Earth, to your body, to the flowers, the birds, the silence, the extraterrestrials, the Sun and the Moon, your Heart, the angels, the Masters, and the Wind that is caressing your face.
