This is a huge book comprising over 600 pages. Though I didn't find it as satisfying as the previous volume, I felt I had to give it too 5 stars, mostly because of the content of Chapter 30 (more later).

The book is so voluminous, I haven't been able to digest all the information it contains, not by any means, so have difficulty in presenting a resumé. I can say that much of the information presented was difficult to fully comprehend, it pertaining to matters previously unknown to us and somewhat beyond our understanding. Cannon herself does a great job of understanding what her regressed subjects say to her and asking the right questions, though I still abhor her in places sloppy writing.

There was much information about Egypt and the pyramids, and reports of former times when a huge earth change or shift occurred. It was indicated that these accounts corresponded to what we are now experiencing and about to experience. Ships appeared and allegedly will appear this time too to rescue us by transporting us to another planet.

The mean reason I am giving the book the maximum amount of stars is, as stated, owing to the penultimate chapter, entitled "The New Earth". Here we are given valuable indications as to what we shortly are about to experience on 21st December 2012. I have previously been confused about whether we are going to experience the Ascension in physical form or not.

But we are here informed that this is indeed the case. We should prepare for ascension by ceasing to eat meat and increasing our intake of raw vegetables. We should avoid sugar, of course. In order to make the ascension, the body must become lighter. It will also look taller.

Cannon gives us a useful tip to energize the water we drink in order to help with the detoxification process. Energize it with the knowledge you have by simply imagining an energy entering the water and spiralling, creating a vortex in a both clockwise and anticlockwise directions. The thought will energize it and reintroduce life force to it. You can also do the same with food.

As regards the actual Ascension process, the information is somewhat conflicting. Partly, we are informed that those of us who are not ready will be left behind to continue to live out our karma. But at the same time it is indicated that millions will die as the "old" Earth will undergo immense changes and thus no longer be able to support life. Thus those who do not ascend will have to reincarnate on another planet,

In a slightly different model, the new higher dimensional Earth will pull apart from the original Earth leaving those not ready to ascend on it. But as both the soul and the body of Gaia are ascending,those humans not ascending would have to be left on a "soulless" Earth. What would this involve? (But I suppose it would be the same as trying to live on an Earth destroyed by the vast changes.) I suppose none of us really knows what is going to happen.

It is described that those "steeped in negativity" will remain on the Old Earth. The New Earth will appear the same as the Old one. Apparently some will not even know that they've made the change. The new world will be a world of light and peace.

Each soul is given the choice as to whether or not it wants to move and evolve. Apparently, we will move directly into the 5th dimension jumping over the 4th. (This differs from what is stated in Patricia Cori's channelled works.) Those who are ascending must take care not to get caught up in what's going to happen so as not to be pulled back into the 3rd dimension. (Like Lot's wife we should not look back and focus on negativity.) We are told (as in Esther Hicks' Abraham material) that we must "focus on the good stuff". We don't need to die or leave the body to ascend. We must let go of the fear.

We are being tested, but if we keep ourselves at peace and in balance, we are passing the test. Our own personal life is our own universe, and it is here that we must create peace and harmony. "The ones that can't create peace and harmony in this body universe are not passing the test."

It is stated that previous shifts in the Earth's axes have caused such destruction that humanity had to start again from the beginning. But this time you shift "as a planet" and basically "as a universe". "You shift the whole dimension." This bit of information has clarified matters for me greatly, as I have been confused about the distinction between the event of the Shift, and the event of the ascension to a higher dimension.

These various bits of information have come through via different subjects, but mostly concur.

I have gone into detail about this matter of the Ascension, as it is the one I feel is most important to us here and now.

I would strongly advise you to read this book, mainly for this penultimate chapter, though the rest of the book is also of interest. ( )
