BLUE CRYSTAL MOUNTAINS

Good Morning,
In celebration of the imminent release of Book IV in the White Bird Series, Blue Crystal Mountains, I am sharing with you the first three chapters, hoping to entice you into further reading. I've worked

very hard on this latest edition to Crystal's life and anticipating the release the first part of February.
And, for your reading enjoyment, you can download this PDF onto your computer, reading any time you choose. Follow the link below which will direct you to my website. Download option is provided there.

Blue Crystal Mountains.

Now I can breathe for a bit, catch up on some other writing...my blog for instance. I've poured my entire being into this latest book and am so proud of it. Anticipating hearing from readers their thoughts and opinions. In the meantime, while we wait for the release, I will direct you to the writers and explorers who I couldn't have written this book without.

• Robert Thurman and Tad Wise wrote a book together titled, Circling the Sacred Mountain: A Spiritual Adventure Through the Himalayas. 1999. In every sense of the word, this book inspired me to write my own. As readers who've followed Crystal through Books I, II, and III know, she is traveling the world, unveiling ancient secrets as she goes. Because I wanted Crystal to travel to Tibet, after reading this book, it was clear to me exactly where she would go. This book details a lively account of a pilgrim's circumambulation of Asia's holy mountain in Tibet, illuminated by Thurman's passionate teachings and Wise's colorful insights. I used dozens of resources as I researched the cities and plateaus of Tibet, but this book was overall my favorite source and I would encourage anyone to read it. In addition, if you sympathize with Tibet's struggle for independence or are interested in Buddhism, visit Thurman's website here. Tibet House. 
• Dr. Alberto Villoldo is the author of the book, The Four Insights: Wisdom, Power, and Grace of the Earthkeepers. 2006. I discovered this book a few years ago when I began researching Peru as a possible destination for Crystal. Having heard of the Q'ero shamans living high in the Andes north of Cuzco, Peru, when I began reading this book, I discovered they were one in the same. I then knew this book was going to be extremely important. Villoldo continues writing and giving workshops in the U.S. and Europe. To find more information about his current schedule, go here. Alberto Villoldo.
• A few years ago, I watched a video of a group of travelers on the highlands of Peru who had discovered a doorway carved into the side of a cliff wall. These travelers, when placing their hands on the doorway, experienced a sense of 'time traveling' and some even announced their trip extremely dangerous. Now, I was intrigued because, well, frankly, time travel excites me, but they weren't convincing because their accounts were flimsy. Then I came upon a book called Andean Awakening: An Inca Guide to Mystical Peru, written by Jorge Luis Delgado. On the front cover of the book is an image of a man standing in a doorway carved into the side of a cliff wall. His arms are out to the side and he's leaning into the doorway. At once, I knew this was the same doorway I'd seen in the video. Delgado calls this Amaru Muru's doorway and has had many profound and mystical experiences here. But his book is a lot more than this. He takes the reader on his own journey of awakening. One of Peru's premier spiritual tour guides, he takes us on a trip of discovery through the most powerful places on earth. Readers of my new book, Blue Crystal Mountains, will come to see for themselves the mystical powerful energy of Peru and a lot of my information has come from this book. I would encourage anyone seeking to know more about the Children of the Sun, to buy a copy for themselves.
• Websites I visit often to keep current on earthly events, celestial events, evolving consciousness and things to come I will list below. The messages I glean from these sites are extremely important to my writing and Crystal's travels.
• Kryon.
• Awakenings: Intuitive Astrology for Heart and Soul
• Crimson Circle
• Lightworker

I hope each and every one of you has an exciting day filled with magic and possibilities.

I look forward to announcing the release of my new book and I'll talk with you all soon.

Namaste,

PB

MESSAGE FROM A STAR WARRIOR

Hey!

Some of you may know me, my name is Crystal Blue. I'm the one you see here, the main character in my writers ongoing series of books called The White Bird Series.

I thought it would be a great idea to step in today and help out with my writer's blog. Right now she is very, very busy writing our next book. You should see her! Intense would be the word I'd use to describe her expression lately, intense and happy because she LOVES to write, especially about me and my friends. For those of you who don't know me, I'll give you a review...I'm 18-years-old and only a few months back learned, after moving to Minnesota to live with my older sister Claire, that my life as I'd known it up until then was basically over. Not that I died or anything drastic like that, but I changed...I changed a lot actually. Heck. My hair even turned blue! You see, I lived in Albuquerque with my gran and grandfather and my sister for quite a long time, then things got rough. My grandfather died, which sent me spirally into a pit of despair and I did something really stupid, then my sister left for school in Minnesota, and gran sold our house. I didn't think I'd miss my sister so much, but I did. Since she'd been begging me to move in with her because she knew I was miserable living in Albuquerque, I finally did. I can promise you one thing, at first I hated Minnesota because it was so damn cold! But then I got the best job in the world at a bookstore in Minneapolis aptly called The Blue Crystal. I know, pretty coincidental. I'd been stomping around looking for a job, freezing to death, blind as a bat because my glasses were frozen, and the weirdest thing happened. When I passed the bookstore the wind literally picked me up off my feet and tossed me into the store, I almost knocked this poor old lady down. I immediately fell in love with the place and then both owners. Cosmo, he's 78 and I love him to death. At first he was cranky, and didn't want to give me a job, but he warmed up to me because, okay I admit it, I cried. I couldn't help it, I was cold and the bookstore reminded me of my grandfather. The other owner is my age. His name is Adam and he's pretty special, more than special really. No one has ever made me feel the way he does when he looks at me. My ears tend to start itching, which is very annoying, but I've figured out in the last few months that he's the one for me, no other man could ever match up. 

Okay, now I've gotten off track. Adam aside, one day I went down into the basement of the bookstore and began cataloging a huge shipment of books. The basement was dark and cold and I was freaked out about the spiders, but this is what I was hired for so I did my job without too much fuss. One day, one really big book in particular stood out because, well, the snakes on the book's red cover lashed out at me. I'm not making this up! They really did! After that I'm not really sure what happened, but I woke up in some strange blue room surrounded by these amazing animals, and then things really got weird because a blue dragon began talking to me and, well,  she sounded just like my gran. The dragon told me that I'd awakened the manuscript which opened the doors to other worlds that now awaited my arrival. "Holy Schmoly," was all I could say. Before I'd awakened I'd seen things and heard sounds, felt like I was on fire at one point, it really hurt and it was intense, to say the least. Then I woke up and this dragon proceeded to tell me that the eleventh layer of my DNA had been activated and my pineal gland adjusted.  I still can't figure that one out. Now all my cells are crystalline and my human template changed, allowing me to do the work I came here to do. Can you believe it? My writer has a fabulous imagination, but let me tell you a secret, she didn't make this stuff up, these changes are really happening to people all over the planet, just not as rapid-fire as mine. You are changing too! So anyway, now I can do certain things most people can't. David, my friend who is now deciphering the manuscript I found in the basement, the same book that tried to eat me (ha ha)...tells me that I'm like an avatar because I resonate at a higher frequency than most and can walk between worlds. It's pretty incredible. So far, I've met a lot of amazing people and learned a lot about myself. I was really sad, though, when I learned I'd have to leave some people behind, and I'm still sad.

Anyway, when I was in South Dakota, sitting with a Lakota elder named William Sun Bear, he told me my ancestor came from a place behind the sun, Sirius actually. My ancestor is a Star Warrior who came to earth from Sirius and whose descendants were goddesses who'd once walked the earth, protecting and guiding their tribes or clans all over the world. William told me that I'm the designated ascendee in this long line of goddesses and I chose to be here as a representative to my ancestors. I also learned that many light years ago, my ancestor made a contract with ancient beings, this is the contract I spoke of earlier that I was born to satisfy. These ancient caretakers, living deep within the crystalline core of the earth, have held the energies of Gaia since earth was created and they are ready to hand that responsibility over to humanity. They want to leave so that they can help create the new earths in the other realms. Earth is an amazing place and others are being created as we speak, so I've been told. Anyway, what this contract said was if humans did not destroy the earth by the year 2000 their gift would be enlightenment and it's up to me to see that they get it. We didn't destroy the earth, did we? Even though ancient prophets predicted we would and others claim earth was supposed to shut down by the year 2012. But the Harmonic Convergence happened and proved everyone wrong, so we deserve to become enlightened, illuminated to the truth of who we really are. The best way for this to occur is by learning and discovering the ancient secrets to being a divine human. This, I've been told, is our birthright, but over the years we as a human race have been sleeping under a heavy overlay which has made us forget how powerful and magnificent we are as a species. So now I know that I'm the Child of the Stars and I was born to satisfy this contract. My mission is to travel the world, unveiling ancient secrets held by indigenous groups as I go. By doing this, through something called the Cosmic Lattice, the knowledge will illuminate humanity, especially to those wishing to discover more about themselves, someone who is more than merely human, an angel having a human experience. What I also discovered is that I have a connection with nine different animals and I'll be able to utilize their powerful, ancient gifts if I'm in trouble, but only if I remember to ask. Wow, I guess I've learned a lot along the way. PB will be so proud when she reads this.  

Okay, so many indigenous groups around the world are very much aware of these secrets. They've lived by these philosophies for a millennium, and millions have died over the years because of this knowledge. When the heavy hand of Christianity and other religious zealots began invading countries, they were frightened by the grassroots people who did not believe in their God and the best way to deal with their fear is control. Unfortunately, those living close to the land, who knew their true natures as divine, who understood they and their creators were one in the same, were not easy to control, and posed a real threat to those seeking power over them, mainly because they wanted their land. Thus they were destroyed. We all know about the genocidal tendencies of power mongers seeking control. How they've marched over the globe, arrogantly wiping out entire races of gentle people for their own purposes. Remember the gentleman by the name of Christopher Columbus? And do you remember the Tainos of Haiti? He helped wipe out this entire nation in less than five decades. Are you by chance aware of a doctrine handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1823 to the Indian Nations? In a nutshell it said they didn't have title to their lands because they weren't Christians. That the first Christian Nations to discover an area of heathen lands has the absolute title. China's dominance over Tibet? Did you know the Dalai Lama is still in exile? Did you know that at this moment Chinese officials are destroying the Jokhang Temple, the most sacred temple in Tibet to build a shopping mall? Need I go any further?  These attrocities are happening today in our modern world and it is time for everyone to wake up and pay a bit more attention. I know I'm only 18 and still have a lot to learn, but I do know this is wrong. 

Well, now it's time to honor these groups around the world who have held these secrets and are now willing to share them with anyone who will listen. The secrets to a philosophy of life where you come to believe you are just as important as the next and should not be controlled. Once this knowledge is gained you cannot be controlled, manipulated or governed by the heavy hand of tyranny. It's no surprise almost every dictator around the world is at present, Ukraine and Argentina, under serious threat.

 As many of you will begin to discover, the goddesses who've often times given their entire lives to protect and guide their people are now stepping up and their gentle, compassionate yet powerful voices are being heard once again. My writer has posted topics such as this quite often, calling this revolutionary time in history the most compassionate shift humanity has ever witnessed, the time that we are moving from the Fourth Age into the Fifth. The philosophies of feminine goddesses in all walks of life, representing every nation and tribe around the world, are now seeking balance. It is no longer appropriate for our world to be governed by patriarchal societies, but rather a balance of masculine and feminine, with feminine acts of cooperation, compassion and justice leading the way. In PB's books, I and those who accompany me travel the world,  will meet and sometimes become these fierce yet loving goddesses who gave their lives to protect their people. Our history has been quite brutal, really, but because we did not destroy this wonderful planet, we are now set on a course for peace and the goddesses will lead the way.  The time of Illumination is at hand and I'm honored to represent the human race in this capacity.  My writer, PB, is also honored that you've taken the time out of your busy day to learn a bit more about us. She and I really are a team. There are many other characters in the story, most of whom I love dearly, but she and I have a special bond. She always tells me I'm her third daughter and that her other two daughters and I have a lot in common. 

I'll leave you with the links for her website where you can learn more about me and our books. Also, take time to browse through PB's blog posts as she covers a lot of what I've discussed with you today. Hint: I've highlighted a lot so that this might be easier for you. She's told me numerous times that she also has a purpose, her's is to tell my story. If you visit her website, you can read her Bio and Mission Statement, learn a bit more about her as a teacher and writer. 

This has been so much fun! Maybe I'll do this more often because PB really is busy. I can't tell you where I am at the moment because it might spoil a surprise. But if you'd like to catch up, you've got to read the first three books. I've done a lot in a few short months and I've gotta say I'm bloody tired! But, I had a free morning so I thought I'd take this opportunity.

Bye for now,

Crystal Blue

THE FIFTH AGE: WHAT'S THAT?

Greetings!

Image taken from: http://compassionateaction.org

As some of you already know, I'm an author whose written three novels, "Illuminating Crystal," "Crystal Blue Sky," and "Little Blue Star," in the on-going fantasy/fiction/magical realism series titled, "The White Bird Series."  The books, of which there will be at least seven, are set in the year 2011, centering around my hero, an 18-year-old girl named Crystal Blue, born for a specific purpose: Crystal must travel the world, often times walking between worlds in inter-dimensional realms, meeting the ancients and revealing their secrets, preparing Mankind for the challenging years ahead as they and Earth plunge into and toward the greatest compassionate shift in the history of humanity. Or, in other words, transitioning from the Fourth Age into the Fifth.  Without writing the entire synopsis for "Illuminating Crystal," (which, by the way, you can find by clicking here,) revealing Crystal's purpose for being on the planet at this most auspicious time is pertinent to the topic of this blog: The Fifth Age and what it is. 

My books and what's really going on in the world today blend together in a way that makes it difficult to categorize them into a certain genre.  I tend to talk about my story and what's really happening in the world today as if both are real, and in a way they are.  You see, my character, Crystal Blue, has the unique power to walk between worlds. After finding an ancient manuscript in the basement of a bookstore, aptly named The Blue Crystal, she undergoes an intense transformation and the eleventh layer of her DNA is activated, and, her pineal gland is adjusted, changing her physical template, allowing her to walk between worlds, avoiding linear time parameters. She must walk these worlds to meet with the ancients in order to satisfy a contract made between her Star Ancestor and the ancient guardians of Earth. As Crystal travels this world and many others, she meets an assortment of Shaman, Medicine men and women, and other powerful figures who share ancient secrets; secrets meant to be shared with humanity but kept in darkness for centuries as these secrets are feared by powerful, dark energies that do not want Mankind to know how powerful they really are. Once Crystal learns of the secrets: the secrets of the divine human: she shares them with humanity via the Cosmic Lattice and they gain the wisdom of the Masters. This, as my books explain, are humanity's gift because they did not destroy themselves as ancient prophesies predicted.  

Billions of years ago, the earth was set up to support life on earth for a particular period of time, then, in order for humanity to evolve, earth was to be destroyed.  However, humanity fell in love with the blue planet and changed the course of humanity and Earth, proving all the ancient prophesies wrong which said: By the year 2000 the earth would begin shutting down, becoming a lifeless, black rock by the year 2012.  Well, guess what? We're still here! Due to an extraordinary event which developed under the prophesiers' radar, occurring in 1987, most notably known as, The Harmonic Convergence144,000 Lightworkers across the globe prayed for peace at the exact same moment, starting a shift in thinking and consciousness, launching humanity and Earth on a new course: A course for peace and subsequently allowing humanity and earth to transition into the next Age: The Fifth Age: The Fifth Hoop:The World of Illumination: The Age of Humanity, and this time, unlike times before, we don't have to die to make the transition.  Contrary to the doomsday, fear and drama mongers, we don't have to fear the Apocalypse. The scorched earth, Armageddon, the end of the Earth.  Well...It won't happen. And, what does this word, Apocalypse mean anyway? It was taken from a Greek word meaning "lifting of the veil."  That's exactly what's happening right now across the globe...the veil is lifting, the secrets of the ancients really are being revealed because we're waking up. We're beginning to remember who we are, where we've come from, and how divinely magnificent we really are. This is how our thinking is changing, how our consciousness is evolving into a higher dimension, a divine 5th dimensional level of consciousness. We are now in the process of moving upward and away from the present situation of believing that all humans are separate from God. 

So, in real life and in my novels, this is where we are now...today..at this moment in time...October 30, 2013, just having passed a galactic alignment, the end of a 26,000-year astronomic cycle, winter solstice, 12/21/2012. Which, by the way, the ancients spoke of, they knew it was coming. The Egyptians knew about it, aligned their pyramids toward the stars. The Hopi, Aztecs, Toltecs, Druids, Incas and other indigenous wrote about it.  And, the Mayans developed their calendar accordingly, ending on 12/21/2012. (There are some theories swirling around that they didn't really end their calendar on this date as they gave some prophesies past 2012.)  Follow this link for more information about the Galactic Alignment and what this shift means to humanity and the universe.

Ancient groups spoke of these times as the great shift, not the end of times as modern doomsday sayers have been pronouncing and now look a bit foolish for having done so. However, we really are at the end of times, the end of an OLD time and the beginning of a new consciousness for the planet; a compassionate consciousness. Okay, so what does this mean? We've just come out of a 26,000-year astronomic cycle heading into what? As I mentioned before, the greatest compassionate shift in the history of humanity. Here is a quote taken directly from Book Three, Little Blue Star, explaining a bit about this new world.  Heather and Violet are Hopi women that Crystal and David, her traveling companion, are at the moment staying with.

“The Fourth World is passing away,” explained Heather. “At this moment in history, we’re passing into the Fifth World where the human race will begin transitioning from the current pattern of civilization to a radically-different way of living.”

“A world,” added Violet with a smile, “where society will be shaped by the feminine paths of cooperation and non-aggression: living in conscious harmony with nature's ways.
What Violet and Heather are saying is that the emergence, the reawakening of the divine, sacred feminine is at hand, necessary at this time to re-balance a world powered by excessive amounts of masculine energy, allowing humanity to transition back into oneness consciousness with God by the integration of the Divine Feminine into the hearts of every human being on the planet. In and of itself, divine masculine energy is wonderful for our existence, yet our world has become out of balance and this creates serious problems. A masculine driven society is shaped by the desire to achieve, having complete self-control, using only knowledge to make decisions, ignoring our intuition, acting without considering the ramifications of our decisions which clearly has harmed the planet in uncountable ways.  Divine Masculine energy is about obtaining, divine feminine energy is about receiving. Follow this link for an in-depth view of the Sacred Divine Feminine/Masculine.
Now, as we transition into this new Age, the Fifth World, the powers that be, both human and planetary, will be shaped by cooperation and non-aggression; aspects of the gentler side of humanity's nature, the divine feminine side, a source of gentleness and compassion, with attributes of stillness, intuition, receptivity, insight, creativity, forgiveness, healing and wisdom, giving comfort to those fearing we'll never find a solution to all the violence, war, poverty, disease, and illness so prevalent in today's society.  Coupled with, but not driven by the Divine Masculine, the Divine Feminine society is said to set us on a course for peace, bringing balance that is needed to the planet; a course where the planet can provide enough food for its population; a course where society understands another's viewpoint and need not go to war; a course where greed does not fuel those who pay the healers and the practitioners; a course where humanity cherishes its youth, ensuring its choices will not adversely affect the next seven generations to come.
And so, as we enter into this next phase of our existence, I cannot help but embrace the fact that we, as a human race, have achieved the impossible.  We've gone against every prophesy ever spoken that we would never be able to survive because we're too selfish.  On the contrary, we're wired, as a species, to comfort and find others to share stories with.  We're wired to be emotional, loving, helpful, creative creatures and, as I have said in my other blogs, we are the greatest beings in all the universe, bar none.  Every other being in the universe is watching us, encouraging us to succeed in this game called life.  I, for one, feel we've only just begun to play.
Namaste,
Paula
