The plane glides through cotton candy pink clouds at sunset. It reminded me of the sun rises our group had at Puerto Morelos. I was on my way home once again from our Mundo Maya Unplugged Pilgrimage to Tikal, Guatemala. I didn't know what to think about this. Was I going home� or leaving home? I didn't know if I was coming or going. I didn't know what to feel about this . . . I didn't know anything at all. I was a void, an empty canvas in which to put something into.

Over the last 19 years, I have returned to the Maya lands to reclaim pieces of my history, ancestry, and even pieces of my soul. But this trip was quite different. It was silent. Tikal was silent and still, like it was waiting for something to happen. "The calm before the storm?" I wondered. Our journey took place between two powerful eclipses and split in half by a spring equinox. To top it off, Mercury was retrograde the entire trip. Our impeccable and unwavering group were purified over, and over, and over again. Yep! We got cooked.

The trip was filled with synchronicity and perfection, and yet I felt like I wasn't even there. It was almost like I had lost my inner compass. I couldn't tell if I was in this world or the next one. I felt like I was in a cocoon separate from everything, yet connected to everything.

We cleared and nurtured ourselves in azul oceans and crystal clear sacred Maya cenotes. We took part in a purification ceremony with a Yucat�n Maya priest in a sacred closed cenote cave, filled with Copal smoke and flickering candles. He called in the past, present and future, his ancestors, the Balams, and the sacred sites with this ancient Maya language. When we looked in his eyes, we could see the echoes of his ancestors there.

We were initiated into sacred ways by Kaqchikel Maya from Antigua on equinox in the Grand Plaza of Tikal. Yet another example of magic that happens in these places. You can't plan this kind of perfection. We wandered through Tikal and Uaxchactun and felt the sites.

The group began to recognize that we were in fact in a cocoon. Was it a cocoon between eclipses, or Mercury being retrograde? Or was this the final transformation before we enter the 5th world? We forgot about our homes, families and our lives. It was almost like they didn't exist anymore. All we had were the temples in front of us, the heat, and the monkey's howl, and the parrot's squawk.

I watched . . . Each member of our group, if they knew it or not, was being called to stand in their own true power. Each person was called to do their destiny's part which was in the grand scheme of things. Many were called to help release souls from stones; others sent love. We were cleaning house in preparation for something we did not understand.

So here I am, 30,000 feet above the earth, passing through the pink sunset clouds. I can feel the love of the earth rising up to meet me. I can feel the love of the sky passing through me. Finally, I receive a message which I had waited over a week for.

The ancient ones speak . . .

Your work is almost complete. You have set your ancestors free. You have also set yourselves free. You have readied the temples for new frequencies. You are now in that space between in which to create a new world for yourselves. No guides, angels or guardians will tell you how to create this world. It is time to stand in your own creative power and manifest the fifth world together.

There are no more messages for you in the fourth world. All that needed to be transmitted in the fourth world has been received. The past will not and cannot offer you anything useful at this time. Don't look back and don't look outside yourself. The truth is not out there . . . it is in you. Look forward inside yourself for you are your own ancestors returned to set yourselves free of the limitations of the fourth world. You have begun to unplug yourselves. You are now ready to prepare for the fifth world that is just ahead of you.

You are being unplugged from this world. To move forward, you must unplug. This is a time between time; A time for you to prepare. It is now time tat you meet the Counsel of the Fifth World. We are those who came from the future to anchor keys and doorways to the fifth world. We have left messages for you in sacred sites in the Americas: Palenque, Tikal, Copan and Quirigua are some of the places we have done this. But many sites are still shrouded in jungle . . . yet to be discovered. It doesn't matter if the sites are discovered. The seals to the fifth world have been broken free. This is an amazing time for you all.

Then the message ended.

During the next week, the ancient ones shared some other things with me. They said that while we are unplugged from the fourth world, and have yet to enter the fifth world, we might feel like we have lost our inner compass. It might feel like were are walking through a dream. It will be hard to tell if we are in the fourth world or the fifth. We might feel like we are just going through the motions of life and not really being present or connecting anywhere. The things we feel, think, or want to do might not make practical sense.

They also shared some concerns they have about our physical bodies. They say the physical body is heavily programmed with the fourth world energies. When you unplug, your body may begin to feel like it is not supported by the fourth world. This is actually very true. The ancient council suggested that it is very important to talk to your body to let it know that it will not die. Remind your body that it is just transforming into something better that it does not understand at this time. If you don't talk to your body, it is possible to manifest issues that are related to lack of support. You might experience your knees and hips going out. Also you might see issues with lungs, like asthma or bronchitis. Tell your body not to fear.

When I titled our trip Mundo Maya Unplugged over a year ago, I had no idea what the Star Elders meant by this. I thought being unplugged meant going into the jungle and getting away from modern civilization. Now I realize that being unplugged means moving past the linear 3-D, fourth world we are residing in now. How appropriate that the rest of the message came to me at Easter time; a time where many of us think of death and rebirth. It feels like this is what we are actually doing in this amazing age. As I end this writing, the Star Elders popped in and remind me to tell you . . . expect the unexpected . . . and dream an amazing dream . . . for these are the days you have been waiting for.

Blessings to all,

Just a quickie, Aluna Joy, to 'report' that this has got to be one of the strangest times in my Journey. My internal compass is definitely in major shift mode. The Intelligences with whom I have been communicating for years -- are just not there. There is only Silence, the Global Brain and Galactic Consciousness. A couple of weeks ago I kept getting over and over: "It's over. It's all over. Radical life alteration is here. Do everything that you can to be very very clear. There is no other way. All of this is going to get very much more difficult in the coming months. Forget about what has gone before and focus entirely upon your state within and your intentions. it is extrememly important that you remain clear and focussed. No time for the old practices. Uncharted territories in consciousnes: that's what you're playing in now. Take up your new life. Reframe everything." Srange physical symptons. My eyes all red. Upper back and neck area in pain. Hips. Feel like I'm 100 years old. Tiredness. Buzzing in head. Yesterday I thought I was losing my mind. Everything being erased, dissolved. Reference points disappearing. Feeling I'd gone too far with my intentions of freedom and limitlessness. For the past couple of weeks have been continually seeing a tidal wave -- at first in the distance -- accompanied by a rush and a roar. Was warning my clients to prepare. Now the wave is here. Lastly, thank you for your Service at this time. Bliss! Blessings! Peace!! Fatima - Australia

I have been feeling so tense and down leading up to the lunar eclipse on 14th March. To add to this I am Pisces sun and moon and my birthday is on 15th (today) so the eclipse is pointing at me! I am already experiencing the eclipse "gifts". Your article explained a lot of things I have been thinking about what is really behind the present energies. My down feeling was of world events rather than personal and I did have a dieing, ending feeling. It was the weirdest feeling I have had in a long time and although it felt like the end of the world, there was a faint feeling of a beginning and transition. Surprisingly a few hours before the eclipse, just as I was waking up, I felt like my normal self, happy and positive again. Your article has helped me understand completely what those strange energies were and will be all about. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I went to your website and it looks incredibly interesting. I will be passing on your article and website to all I know. I feel suitably armed to face the future that is beginning to look more and more amazing by the day. Peace and Light~ Shaka

I have experienced major changes in all aspects of my life in the past few months. I wrapped up a divorce and finally realized that I have to make a career change. I had a car accident shortly before I was to start my job as an assistant in the investment field. I went to the job despite the injuries of the car accident and was only able to function for 2.5 weeks. I started to feel confused and like I was having a nervous breakdown. I realized that I was no longer supposed to be in this field so I abruptly resigned. Then I made another attempt to go back into the field when other opportunities in the field arrived. When I went to the interview at the investment firm, I got physically sick right after the interview and wasn't able to leave the house for days. My body was giving me strong signals to give up the old and bring in the new. The confusing part is that now I've stopped resisting going back to the investment field and I am waiting to be nudged into my new line of work. It's very draining trusting the process since I am living off my savings until the right job comes in. Also, my creativity has recently come out, which has been surpresssed for years. I am also drawn to classical music and when I listent to the vibration of the music, I feel my body healing and my creativity opening up. The worst symptom is the depression. There are too many changes happening at once at even when I stopped resisting them, I find myself extremely depressed. I can't seem to function or know who I am anymore. Or what to expect tomorrow. It's very nerve wracking. I believe my friends and family think I've lost my mind. I hope I can hang in there without losing my mind! ~ Renu

Dear Aluna~~
That was a very timely message for me. I have been getting more and more quiet, not wanting to express much of myself at all. And when I *do* add my thoughts to a chat room, I get no replies~ it's like I'm not really there. I am invisable! Yes it is uncomfortable, yet at the same time, it is an opportunity to become even more centered and to listen to myself and what is happening in the energies around me. It is good to know that there are others (and I've read other sites that say similar things), who are in the same space as I am. I will comfort myself with that and flow down this river of peace. I know that my rebith is imminent, that my inner strength is "rooting" and growing, and that I must allow the time necessary to awaken from the winter's sleep into the bloom of Spring! FOUR STARS! much love~~ Miriam

Radiant Joy to you Aluna JOY,
Thank you for the continual insight through the years. We all here in this house hold are going through amazing growth. Me being Mommy just went through what felt as if a death was occuring only to sense a vibratory harmonic of clarity. And yet there is nothing to do... just in being is enough. The words you share is confirmation of universiality and connection... gratitude to you beyond words. A heart beat hug! INJOY, Angela

Hi Aluna JOY, Once again your newsletter was timely. I have been feeling a heaviness/block in my chest area with breathing problems, and I had the hip/knee thing going as well (trust me to get it all). Also, I have been saying I feel like I am drifting, waiting, as if we are in a "holding pattern". Thanks for the newsletter - it's like confirmation. Regards, Christine (Krya) Australia

Hi Aluna, I'm sure many people contact you with respect to our current times. I honestly don't know what to say..I've read and relate to everything you've written, and despite my spirit feeling ok, I honestly don't know that I want to continue being embodied...if that makes any sense feeling completely here....I find it to be too uncomfortable and vulnerable...so what if some of us opt out or give up or whatever....given the reality of the intensity...is that so wrong? Not looking for you to justify or make excuses for me...but...as you had said in the article metamorphosis of monumental proportions.."this is nuts"...I just don't know that I want to continue existing this way...is that okay to feel that way... Thanks and love - Colin
*** Aluna Responds.... YES.... it is OK to feel these things. You can't change the way you feel can you now? BUT make sure you hang out until the BIG PARTY!

Of course, you and wour wonderful Star Elder guides hit the nail right on the head as usual! What you experienced on that trip is exactly how I have been feeling for this last year. I felt I was walking in a 'waking' dream. I have not felt like this before for so long - where I literally felt directionless and "unmotivated" for want of a better description. I've had masses of other reality experiences where I felt I was observing all time at once - past,present, and future. It was surreal. Like I was here but not here eh? So a huge heartfelt thankyou for that information. You put words to my feelings and experiences. Mucho Mahalo. Britt

My dear ones
I just read the words from the trip....wow I was with you all in spirit and my heart aches to be there next year. I totally connect with your words about unplugging. To the point that my hips, joints, knees, and fingers, feel as though they are trying to click off... they ache and I've been thinking I'm getting rheumatoid arthritis but after reading your words I am wondering if its the burden of holding on to the fourth world....I will try talking to the body as you suggest. Sally Ann. UK

Dear Aluna Joy,
I am amazed you took that trip between the two eclipses. They were intense... I am not sure what went on in the 2nd one, but something really tried to reverse our ascension... but it seems every step back is 2 leaps forward now.. it has not been like that for aeons. - RUTH USA

Dear Aluna Joy,
Thank you for your last newsletter. I just want to share that I recognize myself in the message of the ancient ones. Being unplugged and being in between the 4-th and 5-th, as you write it: During the next week, the ancient ones shared some other things with me. They said that while we are unplugged from the fourth world, and have yet to enter the fifth world, we might feel like we have lost our inner compass. It might feel like we are walking through a dream. It will be hard to tell if we are in the fourth world or the fifth. We might feel like we are just going through the motions of life and not really being present or connecting anywhere. The things we feel, think, or want to do might not make practical sense. Also that we have to use our own creativity for the new world.... I recognize that message.... Thanks, it is a support to read this. It is very hard however to make the right decisions. I've got such a strong feeling to make a big change in my life, like emigrating to south/middle america....... But it is hard though to feel if it is really the right thing. Hope that as time passes by, my vision and feelings will become clearer.... Love and light, Nistal.

Hi Aluna,
I was purusing this newsletter and noticed something that intrigued me... the mentions of "Quirigua." It seems from your channel this is a place, probably in central or south american. This excites me because in our prophecies (the Quero Apache), which I was just discussing with my Inkan relatives, speaks of Quirriguha... the third dragon in our series of initiation. He came into this plan on December 31, 2005 and will pass the torch to the four dragon on June 30, 2007. This is what our prophecies say of him and this time... "We balance giving and receiving. Quirriguha brings serenity, the essence of truth and the lessons of being true to ourselves. We become peacemakers, see through illusions, create Sacred Space, learn techniques of manifestation, clarity and focus. Our bodies heal and become strong, as does our character... a state of integrity begins to settle in. Love, flexibility and giveaway clear the pain from the heart, and we find peace in compassion. We ensure a future for all. Boundaries become community guidelines of health. We look for blessings, acknwoledge the truth in them, and use those blessings for the highest good of all." With these initiations it became part of my family's purpose to reawaken.... hmm, reconnect, human knowing with certain sacred sites on Turtle Island... the reason the Inkan relatives had come to see me. The one for Quirriguha here was Monk's Mound, Cahokia Mounds, in Illinois. It sounds like, from your channel that this is a place in South America. I'm intrigued, can you tell me where this is. I recognize the eagle-condor prophecies are starting to come to pass, and I find it extremely exciting, and am enjoying the closer relation with our Inkan relations. hiyaa gozhoo dolee, may peace flow - Maria Yraceburu - Naakai Ts'ilsoose - author/Quero Apache ceremonialist - http://home.earthlink.net/~earth

*** Aluna Responds.... Hi Maria, I have been to Quirigua few times. It is on the border between Guatemala and Honduras. It was the place the last of the Star Elders retreated back into the stars over 800 years ago. It has many stone stele star beings (living stones) that hold light and are conduits for entry and exit doors to other places in the universe. The small site is build with much quartz crystal. We hope to go back to this site with a group next spring at Equinox.... when the sun is balanced on the earth. If you get a chance to get there it is one of my favorite places. Radiant Blessings ~ Aluna Joy

While studying the 4th World on the internet, the many red patterns of spiral energy were brought to my attention; then I noticed the one on the top right of the 4th Tree looks like a dragon to me. I strongly relate to this from my Cherokee background ... then when your respondent, Maria, from the Quero Apache mentioned the dragon energy, I got more excited! My understanding is that the great dragons used to protect Turtle Island, but have disappeared from our awareness during this world of duality and declining consciousness. Dhyani Ywahoo, of the Cherokees, says: "The dragons were energy moving in the wave pattern of Earth's energy. They used to follow the will of the great medicine people who, with certain crystals, would call them to turn aside dangerous activity and thus protect the people. The medicine people became too few to give them proper guidance, and the dragons became weaker and weaker; many were tied into the mountains, and the intelligent ones vibrated themselves into another dimension. The last dragon was seen in the Smoky Mountains in the 1700s. "Basically, the dragon is the unconscious of all nations, the untamed energies of anger and fear, waiting to be called into the light of clear thought. Until people awaken to their own minds, the dragon appears to be dangerous; when emotions are tamed, the dragon becomes a winged angelic being." I see the dragon in the top of the tree of 4th World, waiting to be called again by those who are awakening now, ready to enter 5th World. ... Also, the spiral energy under "27" looks like the Hindu monkey god, Hanuman to me ... And the one to the left of the "Dying Maize God" (prior to entering 5th World) looks like Ganesha (the "Remover of Obstacles") ... We are receiving help and support on all levels! I wonder if we need to go to Quirigua too ... Hmmm .... Love & Blessings, Linda - New Zealand and a 2006 Tikal group member
