End of Karen Bishop's "Wings" posts
These are fascinating times. SOMETHING seems to be changing, or about to...I think we all sense that and/or observe others sensing it.

As always, sharing for those who may wish to read, for your discernment...

The End of WINGS and the Death of the Old


May 14, 2010



To all my readers:

At the beginning of May, I left the old shell of an old self behind. Like a massive death and final ending, my time was up and everything that went along with it was gone as well. As my star family continued to tell me, “Your time is over now. You have finished what you came to do, and it is time to come home.”

As with all endings, so many of the doors around us close, never to open again. Backs are turned, spaces will not open, and there is nowhere left to go. In these ways, we become virtually invisible, as we are no longer residing in the dimension we are about to leave. It was indeed time for me to jump into the dimension above me, and to have a very different existence than I had experienced up until then.

Many of my writings explain how we get “kicked out” when we no longer belong in our old spaces. These old spaces become so unbearable that we can no longer tolerate their energies. In this way, we are shut out and encouraged to leave by the very unpleasant behavior of the energies who are still residing there.

For some of us, our next dimensional leap is into the energies and reality of the heart. In this way, if we find ourselves around anything that does not emit the heart energy, we can become acutely uncomfortable and feel lost, not at home, wounded, abused, and at best, be unable to communicate or connect to anything that does not come from a heart connection.

Putting on a “suit of amor,” a tough exterior, or even utilizing deliberate “protections” in order to survive in the world does not work with the heart energy, and for me, has never and will never be an option. I came here to experience this planet as the soul that I am, and I intend to continue to do just that.

My time for writing the WINGS posts and e-books was over about two years ago, but I was asked, like many of you, to continue on for a while until the direction of the planet and the path was permanently set. In this way, I continued on longer than I had ever intended, and even came back at the end for this purpose. I will not be returning again. I no longer reside where I used to reside, and I am permanently finished with my prior role and all it entailed. As we have now chosen as a planet to arrive in a new world in a way that perhaps we had not envisioned, I will also then, no longer be offering Soul Celebrations or creating Angels Rest. I have been cut loose in all ways.

In Creating the New Reality, there is an explanation about soul infusion and what it feels like to be embodying a form with your soul when you have evolved beyond it. Very simply, we are not all there anymore. By following our hearts, we will automatically be taken to our next “form.” So although we may at times feel we have experienced a very permanent death, because we are experiencing ascension times, we frequently have the option of dying, but can take our forms along with us. When our souls arrive in their new space, they come alive once again.

I did indeed have a death experience with all the bells and whistles, a life review, a final farewell, and a permanent end. One of my exit points was triggered. After the beginning stages of the process began to snowball, I found myself at a specific stage where I chose to keep my form here on earth in the heart energy, as the heart survives all death. My star family has offered me 24/7 access to home, encouraged me to visit often, and told me that I am welcome to come and go as I please. Currently, I am having a very needed time out for rejuvenation and for learning some new things for my new space here on the planet, and trusting that my needs will be met during this time.

As soon as I knew with absolute certainty that I would never again write another WINGS post, I cancelled all the subscriptions for regular automatic payments, as I did not feel comfortable accepting money for something I was no longer offering. This is why some of you received a PayPal cancellation notice. If I have missed any of you with regular subscriptions, kindly go into the history section of your PayPal account and cancel your subscription. If you have any problems, feel free to contact me, and I will take care of this for you. For all of you who donated on a regular basis, even though I thanked you each and every time, I thank you again now…I cannot thank you enough for keeping me up and going. And for those of you who sent me wonderful letters of gratitude, I thank you as well. They were fuel for my soul each and every time.

In times to come, my new space at TheHeartoftheNight.com will be available for those who desire to experience the heart energy, although the web site is nowhere near completion or even in its beginning stages at this time….I am still in “protective custody” for a while longer completing my process. In this new space of The Heart of the Night, there is no agenda, no intent, no purpose, no teaching, and no “New Age” energy or higher level information. It is a space of center and calm, and full of the heart of the ordinary and pristine moments that are available to us now, as we wait for our mother earth to complete her endings in all ways. It is also a space that perfectly reflects who I am as well…the pristine, subtle, and more simple energy of my true and authentic self. (For those interested, if you are on the Emerging Earth Angels e-list or choose to sign up now, you will be notified when The Heart of the Night is ready to be experienced.)

The Emerging Earth Angels web site will remain up and running for anyone who wishes to access any of the information here, or to order books and e-books, as there are still many who are now asking for their next step. Everything will remain the same as it is now, but with no new information added on a regular basis.

In the very last WINGS post for May 2 (for those of you wondering, for various reasons it was not announced via the e-list), higher level ways of living and being had not yet manifested to a large degree on the planet. Once I left my old space behind, I immediately found myself embraced by an unlikely group of human angels exhibiting all of these qualities, ways of being, and more. I would never have thought to find these angels where I did. Looking back now, I can barely remember the person I used to be. And my new space at The Heart of the Night will give me the opportunity to be in the best space with the best offerings I have yet to have experienced so far. For me, my new beginning and re-birth will be as it has been in times past...far beyond what I could have ever imagined for myself in my own mind.

In the last WINGS post, there were three possible options explained to me for my choosing. In the end, I chose all three… What will you choose?

With much love and gratitude and a heart-felt good-bye,


Karen

1. funny ...
... that both you and Blanche posted the same thing. I wonder what's all behind her whole post. I'm not a fan of 'veiled' stuff so it just left me more confused than anything.

I'm interested in what all you guys get from it.

2. same here, mystical
I also found it very veiled, and honestly, I really dislike that cryptic stuff. I'm glad to know I'm not alone in feeling that way--this isn't the first time I've gotten that kind of confused feeling from WINGS.

I'm looking forward to a Message from Matthew-- I don't get that vagueness confusion feeling from their messages.

3. She says here and a few times previosly, that the Plan for Earth didn't come off as expected,
that many chose to stay behind, that less than expected took the opportunity to ascend.

That means that the rest of us will become further and further embroiled in the planned co-creator energies, and will increasingly manifest what we think.

This can be both good and uncomfortable.

10. Your reply makes me uncomfortable, I admit.
I'm silly that way. Mind you, I'm not trying to shush or scold! Can you elaborate on the "Plan for Earth" not going as planned? Was that her terminology.

I've got this anxiety about being surprised at the last minute; it's of long standing with me. Silly of me, I know.

16. I only know what I've read from her, about the plan for earth.
Although, I can confirm that her energy alerts were all right on the mark, so take that as supportive of her other writings.

12. Sometimes over the years I've gotten the feeling
that she was editing herself after the fact. Not casting aspersions on Karen, but perhaps her channeling was muddied. There were so many "about faces" that it left me dizzy and, I will confess, a little skeptical. I always got the sense that she was talking about her OWN journey but instead ascribed it to everyone. Then, when it didn't come off the way she predicted, she said it was because the plan had changed...but too often I had to wonder if she just "heard" wrong and had to amend her predictions. She went through that in her personal life many times as well ("This is IT!"..."No, I'm going to do something completely different!"..."Change of plans--I'm moving!" etc.), so it seemed part and parcel of who she was.

Again, it makes no never mind to me how she lived her life, but telling everyone that we were all going to experience the same things as she did bothered me sometimes. However, while sometimes her message didn't resonate with me--and perhaps others as well--she'd send out another message, and that one WOULD have something that matched my experience. So I say good on her, I thank her for her service, and I wish her a peaceful, happy future.

and I wish her the best too. Some of her writing helped me a great deal, especially to calm out in really trying times.

15. I feel that way about all channels....

I consider them personal sharings, and appreciate them as such, but I (personally) don't believe one person's truth is necessarily another's truth, and thus take all messages with a huge grain of salt. I have a hard time accepting that anyone is a pure channel and thus their own personal "stuff" isn't integrated in some way, even perhaps unbeknownst to them.

;)

I do appreciate it when a consistent message comes from many directions -- including those labeled as channeled messages -- and it resonates with what I'm feeling or observing. That's when I really pay attention.

I wish Karen well, also.

:hi:

I prefer more concrete discussion. I find most channeled stuff unnecessarily wordy with little substance. It is hard to focus on really what the heck they are trying to say as much is vague, over general or conflicting. There is always something right about to happen, with Wings it was ascension. I was never really sure what she was or what every one else was going to ascend to. Maybe that makes me a lower order on a spiritual level... maybe not. I don't know. I guess that is why I look to astrology-- I can see it on the chart what energy is influencing a subject.

5. I agree, too.

Of the various channels, I enjoyed Karen's for the longest time, even if I didn't look to them for guidance. I enjoyed them, and always found something confirmatory (for lack of a better word) regarding what I was experiencing and feeling.

I posted simply because I found it interesting that she finally stopped Wings.

In the last year or so I rarely connected with her sharings (and I view them as simply sharings...even if people call the messages channels...lol), and it's a relief in a way that she finally got to this point, as it seemed she was going in this direction rather solidly of late.

It is just one of many things I, personally, feel are evidence of shifts taking place. Change.

Just my two cents. ;)

:hi:

6. confirmatory and therefore comforting in a sense,
at least for me, and I thank her for that. The last few messages makes me wonder and concerned in a way. I do not know what she is going through, as she does not obviously reveal it.

25. true, I got a concerned feeling for her too
very...I don't know her of course, but still, I hope she's keeping one foot in practical wisdom, so to speak.

Now that I'm thinking about it some more, I've known people who were a mixture of very intuitive and very chaotic, which caused them to have that "wise interpreter of deeper mysteries" aura, combined with a very messed up life in the here and now. Somet;hing about this was feeling similar.

11. IMHO
It made the hair stand up on the back of my neck.

I hope her family (or those she trusts,) are staying close.

Again, IMHO, but I don't get great things from her message.

8. To tell the truth, I never got much from her messages.
Also, her idea of ascension reminded me too much of end times doctrine so I'm not surprised she's backing off now that she's painted herself into a corner. I always felt the spiritual was separate from our earthly existence. I personally hope Earth does emerge from this destructive era healed from the damages we have done to her. However, I feel it may take our species being gone to accomplish this and that won't be for a long time. :-(

So glad that others didn't get this too. I am not going to read it thru another time and just wish her well on her journey. Whew.

14. I stopped reading her
when she posted about dumping her poor injured cat in the woods which is not something I can condone no matter how she viewed it. I did scan this last one out of curiosity and it seemed quite disturbed to me. I wish her love and peace and hope she will be well.

17. Karen Bishop's writings have always resonated so closely w/me.
I hate to see this come to an end, but look forward to her new website, "The Heart of the Night". Karen always seemed to write exactly for me. Whatever she wrote about mirrored what I was experiencing and helped me immensely to cope with the changes.

I believe I understand what she is doing. She recently moved to another town, into what seems more of a town living space, than the more isolated ranchette she was residing at before.

Many of us are moving, or changing residences (by choice or not). She has written lately of the new "community" she is now becoming involved with. Part of the Ascension to 5th dimension is more involvement with a smaller, local community separated from the 3D world. I think she is just going through a metamorphosis & will be back with insight into our new existence in the 5D world.

20. I wish she had said that... that would have grounded me
as I tried to interpret what else she wrote about. Just couldn't figure out what she meant about any of it. But moving and changing focus, I get that.

18. I get a mixed response to Karen's writings
Edited on Tue May-18-10 12:12 PM by northernlights
When she is writing directly of her experiences, they tend to resonate strongly. Many similar, similar things and feelings going on in my life. I don't often look up her posts, but when I do there seems to be a really close alignment. From simple practical stuff (the first post of hers that I read she was trying for the 3rd or 4th time to paint steps an aqua blue at the exact same time that I was trying for the 3rd or 4th time to paint my steps a dark slate blue. We both kept ending up with entirely the wrong shades of a powder blue, lol). To her last wings, when she wrote of facing 3 options: she described *exactly* what I was feeling at the time about choices I am facing.

But when she starts talking about "Earth 2" and trying to explain what is happening, she loses me. Like MG, I don't believe there will be a sudden shift with one set of (lesser evolved) people left behind and another set of (more evolved) people becoming "earth angels" a la Rapture, she totally loses me. I can accept her writings as metaphorical, but not literal. She seems to think they are literal. I don't believe she has grown wings.

I also note many inconsistencies in what she has written. I won't go into them here, but they are there for anybody to follow should they choose to look closely enough with an open mind.

And I was horrified by her abandonment of that badly injured kitten. I think it's a prime example of how we need to be very vigilant about the difference between connecting with angels, higher self, etc....and rationalizing cruelty. Our minds can play tricks on us.

19. I'm glad I never saw that kitten post.....

I'm uber judgmental about that stuff and it would have filled me with more anger than I could express. I wasn't aware of this incident until someone upthread mentioned it.

*sighs* (we need a sighing emoticon :))

I agree about resonating with her sharing experiences but then losing me when she does the whole "channeling of a higher message" thing.

BTW, I hope a delightful, loving, compassionate soul group is on your horizon, northernlights!

21. thank you , OGR
:hug:

To me, there is no uber-judgemental about what she did. To claim that the partially paralyzed kitten that she "loved" so much was following her around the kitchen crying incessantly because it wanted to be a "feral" cat was, quite frankly, nuts at every level. The kitten was crying because either it was in pain or couldn't poop, or something to that effect, because of the hind end paralysis. Obviously, a cat that's longing to be free will cry in front of the door until you let it out and then take off. And to claim that the kitten needed to be forced to be on its own to heal its paralyzed hind end is psycho too. Nerve damage doesn't heal overnight -- if at all, it takes months whether it's a human or a mouse or a cat. The bottom line is she dumped a badly injured, dependent kitten in the woods to fend for itself -- likely a quick snack for a coyote or slow starvation was that kittens end. Leaves me wondering how she raised her daughter....

There is a fine line between connecting with our higher selves and angels, and using such claims to justify unacceptable behavior or narcissistic behavior or just plain schizophrenia. It left me wondering about her relationship with her father -- their "special" love, yet she wasn't "allowed" to see him or be involved in his treatment or go to his funeral? The (temporary) break from her daughter and grandchild, whom she "loves" so much.

I don't say this lightly. The *entire* time I've heard from my "spirit guides" and had unordinary experiences, and especially in the aftermath when it all stopped, I've questioned the reality of it. Always, always must be careful of that, and always always careful about making decisions and choices, especially as they affect dependents.

A lot of people don't realize it because the movie A Beautiful Mind didn't touch it, but the schizophrenic mathemetician, John Nash, also thought he was in contact with and on a mission for guardian angels or God or something to that effect (been a while since I read his bio).

23. I'm not sure
what spiritual wings are...never mind why growing them would cause pain between the shoulder blades not to mention why a spirit would require wings :shrug:

But as I wrote, at a metaphorical (or maybe spiritual? not sure of the best word) level, much of what she has written resonates. For example, I too became "invisible," back in February of 2002. Sent out literally hundreds of resumes with only 3 acknowledgements. Emailed and called friends -- no response. Suddenly just cut loose from my old world and adrift. I still don't really have any sense of "belonging" anywhere.

I used to connect and hear from my spirit guides continuously...that stopped unexpectedly and (to me) mysteriously about 6 months before 9/11 -- and I heard from a good friend on the path that the same thing happened to her and many of the energy workers and astrologers that she knows. For me, the inner silence was so abrupt and deafening that I wondered if I'd been schizophrenic before and having audio hallucinations.

I hear occasionally now, but very rarely and I can barely make out the words...as if they're speaking from very, very far away...

And yet, many of my psychic and empathic abilities remain intact. I can't seem to manifest as well as I used to, although I'm starting to be able to manifest small things again. And I still pick up on other people's feelings, thoughts, conversations and occasionally dream what is happening (as in my job interview dream last week).

But when I seek guidance, all I hear is....silence.

24. Trust your inner bell then
that won't steer you wrong. Trust that your angels are still there even if you can't hear them the way you did before.

Going through a dark night of the soul is not easy. I found that observing nature helped, the beauty of trees and other things that made my heart swell with love. When you are in a state of love, you are connected.

26. Remember that the subtle bodies are connnected with the physical.
Change in the subtle bodies should be able to be detected by the skilled.

Sorry about your unusual silence experience.
