I saw this clearly reflected in those I met at the Fair. For every person who prepared to open to remembrance and ancient knowledge, there were a whole host of "midwives" who gathered 'round, offering support and guidance through the process. Years ago, before the Harmonic Convergence, I reclaimed a great deal of my own remembrance at Psychic Fairs and Expos. There I met some of my most powerful teachers as well.

There are those who always seem to arrive on the scene at just the right time. They assess the needs of our situation and they say and do just enough to lubricate and illuminate the process so that spiritual rebirth can occur. My Spiritual Guides, The Reconnections, will often refer to these powerful folks as "Bridge People."

Old Souls in New Bodies
In one of the earlier transmissions, the Recons used these words to describe the power and life purpose that we are discussing today:

"Whether one visualizes them as resurrected, born again, or simply Gods and Goddesses come down to mix with mortals - there will appear shortly upon the face of the Earth a race of priests and rulers - the souls of ancient and beloved Shamans and Druids, come back to experience the final "act" of this play.

Indeed, they live and breathe upon the planet as we speak. Many of them have purposefully "forgotten" who and what they are. They wake up to normal jobs, as did Richard Bach's "reluctant Messiah," yet they surely are not "normal." They sit beside you at the diner, shop in your grocery stores, and lie on beaches reading books and magazines.

These are the Children of Oneness, aged and seasoned to meet the need which shall soon present itself! Though they were born "from the old ways" and steeped in ancient customs and bygone disciplines, they return today to stand beneath the Tree of Life. As thunder rolls and temporary chaos shakes the Tree, these wise and wondrous beings shall catch the ripe fruit, precisely where it falls."

One essential characteristic of a Bridge Person is a well-developed sense of fairness and energetic neutrality concerning what is happening here in 3D. Deep down, we know this is all just a Game. It is a planned excursion from Eternal Spiritual Beingness into Human Limitation. We do it, grow and expand, as a Planetary Oneself. We also do it to explore more carefully who and what we all are. Finally, we do it for amusement... and amuse us it surely does!

The parts of us that need to be laid aside while we're on our 3D Journey are carefully watched over by Guardians who keep them safe and return them to us when they are needed. When the Reconnections first approached me back in 1991, they described themselves as all those parts of my expanded self that I had to forget about in order to become human. In a sense, Bridge People serve this same purpose for humanity. We keep one foot on solid ground, even while other parts of us soar through the heavens, searching for new truth and imagery to light the way home.

The Guides continue, as they describe what it's like to travel this path:

“Your world systems, your planetary alignments, your modes of thought and manner of living, are soon to transform. Crafty forces within your governments, angry citizens without, rush at each other...O! So silently, neither one comprehending the storehouse of terrors that each has directed against the other.

To "abstain" from taking a position "against" someone or something, in a highly polarized environment, is to become functionally invisible. Indeed, it is our resistance against someone or something that landed us in physical form in the first place! To unravel, bit by bit, each strand of judgment and condemnation - to begin to embrace all others as reflections of yourself - Is to merge with a new vibration, a "homing beacon" of grace and peace that creates a whole new world.

To learn how to "hide" in this maelstrom of worry, hostility, aggression, and separation is to begin to live "between the cracks" of society. When you are lost in the crowd and looking for comfort, it often feels as though you are the only one left with any sense of softness, any desire for freedom from the din of hostility. Then suddenly, an invisible hand reaches out from behind a lamp post and pulls you into a hiding place where Spirit can teach you how to look at life from an entirely new angle.

The Spirit of Oneness calls forth its leaders by peeling away their Veil of Forgetfulness, like layers of an onion. As in days of old, the leader will not seek this post, -but rather, each simply acquiesces to his assigned duty through finding that he can literally do nothing else!”

Again, we're talking Spiritual Gifts here, aren't we? We’re talking about a pre-set motivational urge that comes, when it is time for Bridge People to go into action, playing out soul contracts that were struck long before we made our journey into this World of Form. When we arrive here, we are asleep (at least some of us are). And then, at the proper time, an internal alarm sounds and we began to awaken. That which was forgotten automatically comes to the fore.


                                                

 Many of our New Kids are being born fully conscious. They remember what it was like to leap out of mother's womb, and they waste no time telling perplexed parents who they were (or are) in other lives, and what they came here to do in this one. They wear these traits for us, because many Baby Boomers have chosen to remain asleep. Because somebody has to do the work, our kids leap right into it.

A Force of Nature
The Guides tell us that Bridge People are not a race, per se. They are more like a force of nature, a will to survive! They put on bodies, they take off bodies, so they can make their appearances in time and space. But really, they are everywhere (and nowhere), all at once. In each incarnation they carry a memory of being a "survivor." But those difficulties and dissonances that they hold in memory, those life conundrums or periods of momentary heartbreak, are a mere pittance compared to the maelstroms that they have transcended and endured across time. And now, some of YOU are being called forth to be Bridge People as well:

“At this important period in Earth’s History, many of you toss and turn in your sleep, praying for peace in the world. My Dear Friends, you ARE peace. You are the Watcher who sees, the Feeler who senses each and every nuance of what is happening. Stillness is a part of what you are, but would you want to endure that forever? Indeed, would you want to endure anything forever? Let it be! Let it all be! War, famine, joy, dancing, birth, death... it all has its place. It all has its season. And there you are, in the midst of it, watching, feeling, being it all. You are now, and always were, citizens of the “Betwixt and Between.” You are bridges that connect and explore ALL OF IT. You peer into shadows, and your very gaze lights a candle in the darkness. You lie down in the meadow, and thousands, millions, even, lie down there beside you. Do you believe this?”

Building Bridges for the New Kids
Many folks who listen to The Star Children CD, or read articles I have written about these New Kids, will ask me: “How can we help make things easier for our Next Generation as they awaken?”

Generally speaking, young people are not respected in society today. For Star Children to gain influence, and actually begin affecting the way we all see life and make decisions, they will need to be granted some of our authority. Slowly, this is beginning to happen. Thanks to the efforts of writers and researchers like Steve Rother, Lee Carroll, and Dr. Doreen Virtue, Star Children (or whatever they are being called) are gaining an audience. They are beginning to be heard.

For 20 years, I have earned my living as a Rehab Bodyworker. I have spent my days touching people, helping them heal. When I entered the field of Medical Massage Therapy, back in the early 1980s, the profession was fighting to gain recognition and momentum - being greatly hindered (especially in the U.S.) by linkage of the word “massage” to prostitution.

Over the years, much of that opposition has been removed. Today, Medical Massage Therapy is one of the fastest growing health care modalities on the planet. In my own practice I became widely known through the recommendations and support of physicians and former patients who, after benefiting greatly from my care, began to tell their friends and colleagues about me. Many of those friends would never have come for treatment if it weren't for the gentle encouragement of someone they trusted; someone who said to them: "It’s okay. He won't hurt you. It really works!"

What these loving and gentle people gave to me, and to my approach to healing, was authority. They staked their own reputation with friends and business associates, so that my influence in people’s lives could expand and become known. This is exactly how it will happen with our Star Children as well. Little by little, adults will simply begin saying to each other: “These kids know what they’re talking about. We need to listen to them!"

Whether they are assisting us through a sharing of knowledge, financial support, or shared authority, BRIDGE PEOPLE are playing a huge role in the transformation process now occurring on Planet Earth. In some countries, they are even laying down their lives, so others can walk across them to new hope and freedom. Their powers and influence go way, way back. They are ancient souls, stepping forward to assist humanity as we learn to live in new and expanded ways.

This article is my way of saying “thanks” to all who have served this purpose in my life. It is also my way of sending out a clarion call to any Bridge People who still slumber. Arise! The time of Transformation is near! Your people await you. Wake up! Wake up!
