I’m clearing the deck and the air, which has, up until recently, been infiltrated by a lot of B.S., my own included.
No, I wasn’t aware that what I was putting forth was not based on reality; who does in this crazy insane world? Now, that I am aware, I am attempting to rectify my misjudgment. Understand that what we undergo in life is often agreed to before incarnating here. In other words, I willingly undertook the past experiences I have lived through, especially during the past nine years since beginning this blog, as part of a soul contract. Of course I wasn’t conscious of the fact, but now I am, and can perform a major course correction as a result. Part of that is apologizing to my readers and then coming into an acceptance that I have played the…
Note to Readers: This blog has been pruned. Many references and articles regarding life in the Pleiades has been removed. While I may be a starseed, I am not an authority on the current conditions in the Pleiades star cluster.
I have also reduced the content for Sunny’s blog considerably, by about 2/3’s.
While I am retaining older channeled pieces but I am eliminating everything written by ‘Sundeelia’. Also, I will not be channeling during the foreseeable future.
No new material will be added to this blog, period. It is now considered an archival record of our earlier works.

There is much beauty in our physical world here on this water planet. Do you know just how rare are water planets? Few exist; all are considered unique and sacred.
Yesterday, I spent some time watching old movies about Francesco and Clara of Assisi. I began to realize what I had missed in this lifetime; the love held within the communities in which each of us lived. I was abbess of a small convent and the men of Francesco’s order spent much time on the road or assisting the sick and poor. We lived a life of complete poverty and lived it in complete joy.
It is not necessary to divest yourself of all your material goods to live a life of joy, but it is necessary to hold these things lightly, as they are merely in your care for now. Material items…
Eliza: The Prince of Lost Causes and other Adventures
At home, I am a princess or its equivalent. Here, at least for the last two thousand years, most of my prominent lifetimes have been as a male. Why? Simply because society was dominated by men, powerful men.
Ever wonder why the English crown the oldest male in line for the throne of the United Kingdom, the Prince of Wales? Because of the LAST real Prince of Wales, Prince Llewellyn, who very nearly succeeded in uniting the contentious tribes and princely states of the tiny land called Wales. He was acknowledged as “Prince” by Henry III, but cast down by his son and successor, the young warrior king, Edward I, who became known later to history as “The Hammer of the Scots.”
Like the Romans before them, the new conquerors of Albion, the Normans, wanted it all. They wanted to rule from the…
Words written several years ago, but still relevant perhaps to more of those who are just waking up to the fact that life here on this planet isn’t what we have learned to believe…
Being real means living with integrity, listening to YOUR inner voice, not that of some designated “teacher”.
True, sometimes we need mentors and guidance, but in the end, you need to be able to break away from blind obedience to ANYONE outside your Self and follow your own path, your own Heart.
On Facebook, I noticed that a woman was “uncomfortable” with my rendition of life on the Royal Teton Ranch. I lived there for two years. I was a faithful chela (which means “slave” or “student”) during this time. However, there came a time when I had to release the hold that the Teachings had upon my consciousness. It was not good for me to continue obeying what was coming from outside my Self and was not resonating with my understanding of spirituality.
I realize that some of what I share rankles those who may…
As I was going through some papers, I came upon an email that was originally written in 2010. In it, I was relating my impressions of a “past” life:
I’m a very different person that that young man of nearly 2,000 years ago and yet he is within me, the same idealistic healer / artistic heart. In those days, I was “gifted” with the Sight. It came from the little dark people of my mother’s blood, those who lived in the wild lands of the mountains. Yet I had the fiery Celtic heart of my father, a chieftain of the Carveti and kinsman to the King of the Brigantes. As an infant, I as chosen by the Druid of my people to be trained as a druid. I was fostered out to Mona at the tender age of seven. I had been born in the…
August is nearly over. Does it appear to you that time seems to be flying by? Or dragging its feet down a dusty lane?
Woke up surrounded by Light Family. I have surrendered to their administrations that are assisting my consciousness to prepare and participate in the re-blending process that continues.
For the past couple of weeks, I have woken up feeling achy and tired. Today, I feel much better. The aches are gone. The slight depression is gone. The anger has dissipated, as has the grief. I feel lighter. I AM blessed because I know and express my gratitude to the Ones who are helping me.
Learn for yourself what your Angels can do. Every person on the planet, no matter what or who they are, has a Light Team… a band of skilled angels, Masters and mentors who are waiting to assist you during YOUR…
To the newer readers of this blog: These words are those of my Sister’s, Tazjma Amariah Kumara VaCoupe, who ascended Home in 2014 and fully in 2017. What she has to say holds true for me, as well…
Actually I’m not sure just what day it is, except Wednesday; that’s when we have trash picked up in the neighborhood. I’m on vacation and it would appear somewhat of a spiritual retreat.
I hope I’m not boring anyone with the recitation, such as it is, of my life’s story. I haven’t cured anyone or invented anything, just lived after a fashion, here as best I could while trying to figure out the answers to questions I didn’t have any means to frame into existing language.
I’ve been driven from within all my life. Living in 3D has been very uncomfortable, yet I have enjoyed some of it and disliked other bits.
As a young adult, I began to realize that I was very different from other people. I picked up things that didn’t make sense to others, like my parents and my husband… my sisters and…
The Chinese have an old saying for their enemies, “May you live in interesting times!”
Well, folks, we are living in interesting, stressful, unpredictable times. While radical Leftists are now crying for blood like the Jacobins of the French Revolution, some 80 million Americans are wondering just why the 2020 Presidential Election was lost by the man who stood by them, the People. Many have lost hope. Are you so easily deceived by the false words of the Cabal and their talking head minions?
If you have been doing your own research, you will have realized by now that the election was a military sting operation. Do I have proof? Do I have copies of the plans? Actually, if I can be blunt, what kind of idiot would ask such questions? Probably someone who has never been in the military or lived around a family member or friend who is in the military. The answer is categorically “NO!”
What is going to happen? When? How? Only those who are the planners behind this military sting know for sure and they sure as hell are NOT going to telegraph that information to someone who would then turn around and post it on Instagram. Another old saying from WWII: “Loose lips sink ships!”
So, folks, attempt to see this as a long mini-series playing out before our eyes. The Alliance which selected Trump in the first place, makes one move, and it is seemingly countered by the Left… or is it? Would Trump and his loyal team members put so much effort and planning in over his first term to just walk away from it now? Does that seem logical? Use your common sense and think. Yes, I know, they stopped teaching critical thinking in school; ever wonder why?
Yes, an Election was stolen from the People. The evidence is still piling up. Military intelligence is busy sorting out the evidence, determining who, what, when, how… and will present that evidence, eventually, to the American people and the world.
One of the sources for Simon Parkes recently asked him, “How many times do we have to say that the Boss did not concede?” Apparently a thousand times is not enough for some people. (The Boss is Donald J. Trump and the military remains loyal to their vows).
Trump has NOT conceded and never will allow a Communist puppet like Biden to sit permanently as President. Maybe ‘they’ will give him a few days but it will not be a long reign. And why has Kamala Harris not yet given up her Senate seat? Can anyone address that?
Still, election fraud and all the associated drama aside, this has never been about a four-year election and the Deep State knows it. It is about the fate of the entire world. What plays out during the next days, weeks, and months… even years, will determine whether or not humanity survives and peacefully enters into the promised Golden Age. What’s more, the people of the World know this, whether or not the dumbed-down mind-programmed citizens of America do or not. If the planet successfully transitions to fifth dimension frequency, the structures of the Dark will NOT survive. This is life or death for them as once the heinous acts of the Cabal are known to all humanity they will not survive the mobs who descend upon their palaces, castles, DUMBs, mansions, and private islands.
It has been suggested by some people that humanity is entering a collective Dark Night of the Soul, a part of initiation dreaded by those who have not done the inner work to develop their own heart flames. It is a time when each person will be subjected to archonic forces of fear, doubt, and temptation. Just read the part in the Bible how Jesus wrestled with his own doubts and fears when he realized what was in store for him. He was tempted by the Devil and he resisted. It is a test that ALL who are ascending pass through. It is a test some will fail. Do you have the needed faith, trust, and hope that the Light will prevail? The days following will test you to the limit.
Whoever said ascension was easy was an idiot. We are at the end of the Piscean Age, with the strong energies of the Aquarian Age incoming. The strong, intense, high-vibrational cosmic light waves have been driving this collective awakening of humanity and the planet. The Cabal has anticipated these times when their control over humanity would be challenged, yet they never expected to be challenged in the form of one brave man, who agreed to be the target of all of their abuse.
Have any of those who still support the Democrat party ever wonder why? Why has this one man, Donald J. Trump, been subjected to death threats, calumny, unfounded accusations, daily smears and threats against him and his family members? Why? Trump represents the Light forces. The Cabal are fully aware that it is not just a man but a large percentage of the American people who have now awakened as they have witnessed the turn-around in the economy, in their lives, and hope re-enter their collective breasts… that maybe they would actually have a future for themselves and their children instead of a psychopathic heavy-handed rule by megalomaniac despots who have brazenly declared their intentions on the Georgia Guidestones to remove over 90% of the world’s population through events. The rest of humanity will remain slaves to the tyrants. Try that on for size, people.
Yes, cognitive dissonance will trip you up, every time. I can hear it now, “I don’t believe you. I don’t believe that anyone would harm people!” You are thinking like a human being, not a negatively polarized alien being who has passed as a human for untold centuries. They have been harming humans ever since they landed on this planet some 400,000+ years ago. They even claim to have created humans as a slave race. I would challenge that particular claim as I know that humans, at least the real ones, all have a heart flame, a three-fold flame within their Heart Center, in the center of the chest. If you concentrate on the Center and send it love, you may feel an answering warmth.
The sheer presence of our energy centers is an indication that we are not a slave race, that our DNA contains something that the controllers crave but are without because they have turned away from the Light of God, Divine Intelligence, the Christ Consciousness. Since the flames within their cold hearts have gone out or nearly so, they have to feed off of the blood of humans. They especially crave the blood of children, very young children. Where do you think thousands if not millions of children disappear every year?
Trump and the Alliance are in the process of taking down the structures of this dark Cabal, which has relied on using child-rape-murder video blackmail, coercion, money-laundering, drug and weapons running to retain their power on this planet. The minions of these controllers have infiltrated every level of society, every company, every form of government – local, state, federal, nation-state – and are run by a network of secret societies whose members recognize each other through signs, symbols, and secret handshakes. This dark web is in the process of being deconstructed, yet it is not going to come down overnight.
During his first four years in office, POTUS and his team have re-established the underpinnings to the rule of law and have begun to construct the foundations required for the United States to return to being a land truly governed under and by the Constitution and not the laws of man. Thousands of regulations, mandates, rules, and laws will be deleted from all levels of government. It will happen, but first the great drama must play out. It is a drama designed to wake up Americans and to assist them in realizing that, yes, they have been lied to all their lives, that the very structures they have counted on have been deceptive, designed to keep the debt slaves in their place. History as it has been taught is false. We are a race who have forgotten our own history; it was kept from us intentionally.
We were mind-programmed to want things now, instant gratification, moving from one material thing, one relationship to another, having no steadfastness or authenticity… except for those individuals who kept the faith and carried the Light within, through the medium of prayer, meditation, and dedication to their path. The prayerful ones were mocked by the atheists who denied the existence of God because their leaders convinced them there was nothing beyond this life. Yet, occasionally, even the most dedicated atheist did encounter God in a near death experience and then changed.
This is a long story that will be told, has been told if you have the time to do the work and dig for yourself. The Q movement has encouraged people to do just that, think for themselves and to begin to question the official narrative being presented on mainstream media – which is all propaganda put out by the Central Intelligence Agency.
I guess those who doubt now are just going to have to attempt the manage the energies as they increase.
I encourage those who are reading these words, to #1 – TURN OFF THE TELEVISION. That alone will help you to break free of the hypnotic effect of the programming and the low-frequency vibes being emitted by the machine, indeed, any and all electronics. Read up on anti-EMF devices.
So, folks, we are going through this passage, this birthing as a collective and will just have to endure the chaos and tumult as we emerge. Pull on your big-boy and big-girl pants, pray, and stay CALM.
And don’t take my words as orders; they are suggestions. You can choose to ignore everything I have ever written here. It is your free will and your responsibility, that choice. Each person needs to accept responsibility for their thoughts, beliefs, opinions, actions… whatever shows up in the screen of their consciousness.
Ah, another saying popped into my head – from my silent guides – “It is darkest just before Dawn –”
Hope. Faith. Trust. Trust in yourself, trust in others, trust in the Presence of something that exists beyond all of us and yet encompasses us. We are fractals of the Divine, Creator, Source.
Thou art blessed beyond measure, dear ones, to be present to be witness these interesting times. Go in Peace.
1.Trump was not running for just another 4 year election in 2016 – Trump was approached by the military to run and his entire win has been and still is a military operation.
Trump’s first 4 years was to drain the lower swamp first. The swamp was/is deep and incorporated every industry in the world, banking, movie, pharmaceutical, food, you name it they controlled it; much has been handled.
Barack Obama before leaving office signed an executive order to pardon anyone prior of any crimes in the government. This is WHY no one was held accountable when the Trump took office.
These swamp rats could not be tried for those crimes (ie: Hillary email scandal, Clinton Foundation, FISA spying on the Trump campaign etc) ~ only crimes AFTER Obama left office could tried – therefore, new crimes had to be snared.
The military needed to catch them in the act committing crimes with proof.
President Trump said in his speech January 7th, 2021: there will be “a smooth, orderly transition of power.”
This in no way means that President Trump is transitioning power from his first term to Joe Biden! Did you hear him say Joe Biden?
We are transitioning from the defunct USA Corp to the Republic (not Biden). President Trump will not technically get a “second term” and as he tweeted, “won’t be at the Inauguration Day in January” ~ this means there won’t be an Inauguration Day. This was the last recorded term of a President who served in the “American Corporation”.
President Trump dismantled the Banking Act of 1781 from England. The United States is going back to being a Republic and Donald J Trump will be the first President of the new republic with the Constitution fully intact.
The start date for the new Republic is March 4, 2021 ~ this was the original start date of the new President (until it was changed under FDR in 1933).
At the end of President Trump’s speech he said: “Our incredible journey is only just beginning.” Boom
No matter what it looks like, it’s all optics; Military operations have thought of everything.
Trump won an overwhelming victory and will be the President ~ of the New Republic.
The swamp rats needed to commit their crime during the last 4 years; and they have now been snared.
Certifying a knowingly fraudulent election as Pence and Congress just did is treason.
Now President Trump is still the President of the United States until January 20, 2021. He has the power to invoke the insurrection act. The Insurrection Act deals with treason at a military level.
Why did the president not involve the Insurrection Act before? Because it involves the military and people would have accused him of being a dictator. He has given everybody ample opportunity to come clean with the fraudulent election: the Supreme Court, the DOJ, the courts, congress, and the vice president. They all picked their lane for the most part and chose to certify a (knowingly) fraudulent election.
Many Trump supporters have been pressured and threatened by the deep state, they always have. People appearing to go against Trump have either been threatened or they are part of the deep state. People have picked their lanes.
Do not underestimate the President and this military operation. Trump often appears weak before he wins (read The Art of the Deal). Twitter and Facebook now banning (censoring) the President ~ this gives the President the opportunity to use the Emergency Broadcast System (set up in 2018) in order to contact all Americans for what they will need to hear regarding the next steps.
Trump has said over and over: “we have it all (the evidence).” He has also said: “we will never surrender.” And, he said: “the best is yet to come!”
Do not watch or trust the MSM; they are deep state. Do not give up. Keep the faith!!!
Note to Reader: This channeling came through on September 9th, 2012. It gave a brief synopsis of the current collapse of the rigid control structures of the third dimension, all of them and the ensuing tug of war and chaos… until peace and calm is regained. Be not in fear, those who know of the existence of God. Stand in the Light of your connection with the Creator and know the peace that exists beyond the comprehension of the ego. We stand with you ever more, every day, every hour, every minute, with every breath.
We are the Council of Nine. We wish to speak of the next steps of your journey, communion, the coming into union with your Higher Self and twin flame.
In the days swiftly approaching, the large unwieldy structures of the old illusion will be toppling of their own weight and entropy. They were constructed by those who fear change and desire control. They were built of straw and the winds of change have come to blow these structures away. Crouching behind these structures like the proverbial three pigs in their straw house, the powers that were, will soon find that they cannot keep the wolf from the door or karma from removing their ill-gotten gains bought at the cost of many lost and destroyed lives.
Also sheltering behind the crumbling structures are many people confused by the sudden onslaught of unfamiliar light and change into their lives. They are ones who have refused up until this point to wake up and see that their lives are about to change for the better, if they decide to stay on the planet.
The braver ones of these confused individuals will have many questions and queries that will need to be answered by calm, committed and awakened Lightworkers – you, our dear readers.
For those of you have ventured into inner space either through meditation or contemplation of life’s questions, you know of or perhaps have already begun to experience a gradual sense of becoming more of you. A blanket of calmness, a balm of wisdom, a serenity of heart and mind has fallen over you, keeping you sheltered from the growing clamor outside the doors to your inner sanctum. From this high vista, you can calmly observe just how hysterical the voices of the media and politicians have become, in an attempt to keep the populace in fear, under control and diverted from their spiritual path. However, all the stories of murder and mayhem, the threats and rumors of war, the latest stupid laws and designed harassment of so-called authorities cannot reach your sanctum within. The remaining collective miasma of misaligned energies lingers at the bottom of the Valley of Darkness, but you, the wayshowers, have now climbed up out of that illusory mist. You have emerged from that caustic sea, walking forward with head held high. Without fear that you might turn into a lump of salt, you look back and hold out your hand and heart to those who follow in your energetic footsteps. And they will come, stumbling perhaps at first and then walking forward with increasing courage as their eyesight clears.
Do you not realize, dear ones, that hu-man kind is a collective soul, destined to experience and learn for its creator all there is to learn through the process of separation from Source. This separation is not experienced in the higher lighted dimensions to which you are now heading, first the wayshowers, next the bulk of the Lightworkers and then, yes, then the general as yet unawakened populace who have chosen (perhaps unconsciously at this point) to remain with the planet.
We and many other voices have emphasized the importance of individual focus on one’s own ascension process. This phase is necessary in order to develop self-awareness, courage and self-confidence. Not all wayshowers have the opportunity to spend years in a monastery or place of learning mentored by a highly trained teacher in order to learn the skills necessary to ascend. No, most of the wayshowers have intentionally chosen another path, one undefined by centuries of spiritual practice. They have chosen to ascend directly from the depths of the valley, from the confines of the matrix, from their everyday lives. Why? To prove it can be done and to carve the energetic pathways for those who follow, common everyday people. First to arrive will be those who are still sleepy and in need of a cup of coffee, but awake enough to question what is going on in their collective world.
Then the masses of still reluctant ones will come, following in your energetic footsteps. Yet among these sleepy ones you will see miracles happening, as stories of some awakenings that now take seemingly moments to occur – the individual sleepy one moment and wide awake the next.
How can this happen you might ask – especially those Lightworkers who feel somehow superior to their sleepy compatriots, brothers and sisters? We tell you that these awakenings can and will happen because of the work done by the wayshowers, extending back into the past to beloved Buddha, Yeshua, Mohammad and the many saints and holy figures from all cultures and coming forward into this time to your efforts on behalf of Gaia and all life here. And please remember that every man, woman and child on this planet, lightworker or not, is a god / goddess in disguise, playing out a selected role for the sake of the education of their soul. It is time for the actors to rip off their masks, to remove their respective costumes of duality and to display their true nature as light beings, sons and daughters of the Divine, creator gods in training.
For those of you who are a bit further along on the winding road to ascension, it is approaching the time for reunions. Since the advent of this extraordinary year of 2012, many wayshowers have been drawn to “join” up as crew members of various galactic light ships, for Saturday night adventures and missions, as well as training in fifth dimensional living, and meeting their galactic counterparts and families. We realize that this group is relatively small even within the ranks of Lightworkers, but it is a group with the potential for increasing influence as the time for disclosure approaches. These ones will perform the duty of emissary and representatives of their various star nations, as well as teachers, mentors and examples for the new seekers who come behind.
When the call from Gaia went out for assistance, it was apparent that the native people of the planet were caught up in an insurmountable replaying of lifetimes, unable to break free from the relentless wheel of karma, due to the manipulations of the governing elite and their own self-created misaligned energies. The great Councils responsible for the evolution of this planet realized that they must work within the confines of Divine Law – the law that prevents outside forces from interfering with a developing planet – so as not to incur karma for their own people. So a solution was hit upon – send volunteer souls to embody in amongst the native populations. The primary purpose of these volunteers was to act as a stealth force to anchor the light on the surface of the planet so the bastions of darkness would finally be penetrated and resistance to change broken down. This long-term solution, as described in the books of Dolores Cannon, brought a succession of waves of galactic and celestial volunteers, who answered the call and took on physical form on the planet.
All of these volunteers were required to take on the veils of forgetfulness, losing all memory of their galactic families, their origin and even their purpose. Despite this, by becoming human inhabitants of the planet, these lightworkers began to successfully anchor the light upon the planet, turning the tide against the forces of darkness. Most often these lightworkers were (and still are) unaware of their purpose in being here, but by the strength of their own heart flames these pure souls have followed their intuitive longings, sense of yearning for something different, sometimes crashing through the underbrush and then, most unexpectedly, finding a faint trail pioneered by someone else ahead of them. Following this faint trace with a sense of growing excitement, they have learned to trust their own inner guidance and to question outward authority and established custom. These pioneers have often suffered qualms of self-doubt, but have been driven to seek out answers. In time, new horizons and possibilities have begun to emerge – a glimmer of light could be seen in the distance. Before long even that vast distance has shrunk, the wastelands have been passed through and the edge of a new world can be sensed and in some moments even seen.
With growing courage, these pioneers have forged on despite all appearances to the contrary, despite their self-doubts, despite the criticism of others, their own disappointments and yes, even their impatience for change to manifest in some manner outside of them, in the form of disclosure, the disbanding of the military industrial complex and the arrests of corrupt elites. However, despite their perceived hesitations, these pioneers have begun to sense a change in the air. This change has come because they had changed, from within. The change corresponds to the growing awareness of their connection to Source, with their galactic families, the spiritual realms of Light and with all life.
Since these lightworkers have carried the sacred fire within, the crystal cord connecting them to their Higher Selves and the crystal pineal gland within their brains, there has been a hidden doorway constructed into this benighted world by which the light could finally penetrate the overgrown thickets. So the light has waxed in its influence, flowing through the bodies of the ground crew who have been and still are acting as anchors and transformers. For over 50 years now, this penetrating light, now combined with the increasing level of cosmic rays reaching our atmosphere and planet, has worn away the collective gunk of misaligned energies, allowing fresh air to penetrate into the depths of the forgotten Garden of Eden.
With the increase of light from cosmic sources, the lightworkers are becoming aware and awake to their missions. Sometimes their mission is simply to be here; by their presence they bring peace, light and an air of calmness to their environment. Others have a more active role, that of being a teacher and example for their loved ones, family, co-workers and neighbors.
As it has been necessary for these lightworkers to forgo their place in heaven or their galactic homes, so they have embodied into an assortment of family schemes, sometimes intentionally taking on difficult life circumstances in order to transmute genetic karma. Now as they break through the last vestiges of their own personal and familial clearings, they begin to gather at the edge of the valley, at the edge of the haunted forest, for the next step in their journey towards ascension. The next step is the conscious joining up with their twin flame and Higher Self.
Many lightworkers and starseeds have come into embodiment alone, leaving their twin at Home, to serve as guide, mentor and even as life line in time of need. Other twin souls who have both embodied have been for the most part up until now, unable to live very long or at all together due to karmic attachments to others or karma built up from other lifetimes with each other. Until a certain amount of personal clearing has taken place, they would be unable to stay long together. Any darkness still remaining would automatically trigger a reaction in their twin and vice versa as it is the blessing and curse of twin souls to mirror back to each other what has not been cleared from each person’s heart and mind.
Now the pioneers are discovering that the union of twins does not always require physical proximity to be a potent remedy for the loneliness of the seeker. As our scribe herself has recently experienced, the reunion of twin souls can take place within the secret chamber of the heart, as the alchemical joining of two into One, as another step on the journey Home.
And with this reunion close on its heels comes the reunion with the Higher Self of the twin souls to lend further guidance and comfort to the awakening ones.
We see this process becoming apparent with the conscious awareness of our pioneer lightworkers. Though their lighted example, so too will follow the rest of hu-manity, those who chose ascension. It has taken a long time for the darkness to break up, but the Light is now shining through the storm clouds of illusion. The next steps along the way have been marked out and humanity is on the move into the light of a new dawn.
With blessings and encouragement, we are with you always in the eternal Now.
