The energy flowing into August brings a deeper opportunity for integration—of truth, of essence, and of liberation. Where June stirred the waters and activated your readiness, July softened the field so you could begin to meet yourself in a new way. Now, as August unfolds, you are invited to walk as the One who remembers.
At this time, many of you are working through core principles of intuitive mastery and self-liberation. If you’re finding old questions surfacing or patterns reappearing, know this: you’re not regressing or failing. You are not broken or confused. What’s happening is a mark of evolution. Your consciousness is expanding, and what was once hidden in the background can no longer remain in shadow.
The very act of questioning is the activation.
When you ask a question now, you’re doing it differently than before. You’re not transmitting doubt—you’re shining awareness. You’re illuminating what was once unconscious, and that light alone initiates a powerful transmutation. The old belief, once buried deep within your system, now rises to the surface and whispers, “Are you ready to let me go?”
It may have served you well—perhaps across many lifetimes—but it no longer belongs in the frequency you now embody. This is reclamation. This is sovereignty.
You are spiraling back through old stories—not to relive them, but to rewire your relationship with them. Like a soul moving through a sacred tunnel of remembrance, you emerge with new eyes. Things may look the same, but you are not the same.
You are returning to your divine original blueprint, not as an echo, but as a living transmission of it.
There is nothing to fix. There is only more of you to welcome back.
With every breath, you are becoming the liberated self that has always been waiting within you.
Here is an activation for you:
Settle into a quiet space. Take a few grounding breaths and gently place your hand over your heart or solar plexus, if it feels right.
~Ask: What belief is surfacing for release right now? Let the question be soft. You are inviting light into the space, not necessarily seeking an immediate answer.
~Listen: Notice what arises. A memory, a phrase, a sensation in the body. Let it be, without judgment.
~Speak to the belief, inwardly or out loud: I acknowledge you, I know and accept that you served me. I now appreciate and thank you and allow myself to move on. (The 4 As.)
~Feel the shift: Imagine light filling the space that held the belief. Let your body remember what freedom feels like.
~Close with this statement of your new truth: I reclaim my original blueprint. I choose to live from the frequency of my truth.
And as you engage in this process—asking, listening, speaking, and feeling—you are not simply doing an inner exercise. You are connecting and harmonizing all of your energy centers. This gentle but profound act activates your brain and your nervous system, signaling to your entire body that a new pattern is forming. You are literally rewiring your field. You are re-patterning.
Your awareness becomes the bridge between the energetic and the physical—between intuition and embodiment. And in that moment, transformation is not just possible, it is already occurring
It is with deep love and honor that we remind you of this: You are not becoming someone new. You are remembering who you have always been, allowing that truth to live fully in you now.

The past months have been preparing you for Now.
June is a time for looking deep within, and deepening your trust with your inner self. All that has transpired in your life in the past months is pointing you in the direction of your own higher self.
June is a month of reclamation.
~Reclamation of voice.
~Reclamation of sovereignty.
~Reclamation of inner rhythm, and therefore inner truth.
Now is not the time to push forward, it is the time to listen to your inner truth. As the world changes, so do you, and your changes are rooted in your inner self, your higher self. The ego/mind wants to claim recognition while your higher self is patient. So this is a time of deeper integration and acceptance of the ego and all that it has meant to you as a human. Acceptance of ego driven choices is inherent to your personal growth, as acceptance opens the door to the movement of old, stagnant energy. Old, stagnant energy is what the ego holds onto with a death grip because it is a known thing.
Stillness, discernment and alignment are what serve you best at present, even if the ego desires to sprint ahead with plans and projects.
The solstice this month brings the peak of light in the northern hemisphere. It offers you the opportunity to use the light to see where you have withheld yourself from moving forward in alignment with your highest self. You can expect old truths and beliefs that have been deeply buried to resurface. You may feel it in your body, in relationships and in your emotional field. Be gentle. This is a clearing, not a crisis.
You are invited to stop seeking outside of yourself for the confirmation that you already carry within.
The collective is shifting more fully into embodied sovereignty.
You connect to your inner rhythm in stillness. You may feel it in your breath, as breathing slows and becomes soft and easy. You may feel it as your nervous system responds through relaxation in the muscles. You may feel it in your cells as your unique frequency comes through to you in the feeling of peace, or joy or even through the releasing of tears. You have experienced all of this before, and you are remembering how to connect all of it, and to ultimately trust that this is how you are to Be.
In June, tend to your body as a portal to reclamation. Let nourishment be sacred. Let movement be intuitive. Let stillness be a ceremony.
You are being asked to come back to your essence.
You may be drawn to these statements to help you connect more fully as you sit in the stillness of remembering who you are:
~I AM able, aware and conscious of reclaiming my voice, and as I do, I heal myself as well as those before me who could not speak their truth.
~I AM able, aware and conscious of reclaiming my sovereignty as Source Consciousness, and in doing so I reclaim my inner truth.
We leave you with these words to contemplate as we witness you with unwavering love and clarity:
You did not miss the moment. You are not behind. You are exactly where your healing becomes holy.
PS (This came through after the original message.)
The Ones Who Hold the Threshold
There are those among you who are not here just to awaken, but to hold the gates open for others to remember themselves.
You are one of them.
You are not here to convince. You are not here to prove. You are here to embody. That embodiment, quiet or bold, is the transmission.
The path you walk is not linear, it is spiral. So when the voice of doubt says, “Haven’t I done this before?” The soul answers “Yes. And now I do it with more presence. More empowerment. With less noise.”
You no longer are to dilute yourself to be digestible. Now is the time to speak from the truth-your truth.
Your inner knowing is not just valid – It is vital.

If you are reading this, then you have chosen to walk a path that is less traveled. The path that you have chosen in this lifetime is one of courage, strength, resilience and empowerment, and that is not all. You are here to not only receive the light and energy that has been flowing to you, but to embody it, use it, and amplify it out to the world. You are here to become the change that is necessary in order for you to move forward in freedom from what you might call your old stories: Programming, beliefs, karmic indebtedness, and patterns that no longer serve you.
A few years ago we told you that your old foundations were crumbling and that you were in the process of creating new templates. Those new templates formed a different kind of base for you, one that has been more fluid, flexible, and with more freedom. It may not have felt that way because you were used to inflexible foundations, but you have been gaining your sea legs and sensing that freedom deep within. Take a moment and recognize this. Acknowledge how far you have come, and accept yourselves in this moment, exactly as you are, where you are, regardless of your circumstances. Appreciate yourself, as that allows you to move forward in the freedom that you have come here to attain for yourself.
You are now ready for the next steps in your evolution.
Linear time is an illusion. Because of the nature of how time and space work within your now mostly 4D consensus reality, things in your life tend to spiral back around. If you pay attention to history, it would seem as if the energy of events repeats itself every couple of centuries. The events themselves are not necessarily repeated, but the energy of them often comes back around because humanity still needs to recognize and learn from what happened previously. In reality, some aspect of you exists in the “earlier” event, and you are here now in order to revisit it energetically so that you can choose from a higher vibrational perspective how to move forward in a way that doesn’t require you to repeat the event. In this life you have chosen the path that brings you face to face with many of the more challenging patterns that you now recognize as old energy.
You chose to remember Who and What you are in this lifetime and in doing so, you are waking up from a deep slumber where you forgot that you are the creators of all that is. You have created everything that exists in your world, and you are here now, with your conscious awareness in your physical body in 2025 to change yourselves. You are literally changing your energetic frequency as your re-member Who you are, and your new frequency aligns with and matches the frequency of the world that reflects the changes within you.
The first quarter of 2025 has been a time of compression. What this means is that your energy has been compressed in a way that has helped you to look deep within yourselves in order to identify the old energy that no longer serves you and in many cases, is now damaging to the energetic being that you are becoming. If you felt challenged in any way during this time, you were in the compression stage. Physical illness, emotional upheaval, doubts and fears are the result of times of compression that up til now have been necessary in order for you to truly delve more deeply within as all of the answers are within you. You are all that is. That doesn’t mean that you cannot seek help from others, we encourage that. What it does mean is that every one of you carries the energy of deep programming, belief systems, and repeated patterns that have taken root in your energy field. Compression is natural in that it serves as a way to squeeze out that which is unhealthy. You might call it depression. Your words carry energy, and your definition of depression has in general, a negative connotation, so what you believe about depression is simply that: A belief. Beliefs can be changed, and you are doing this. Depression is really compression, and it is a natural state of being that you move through, quite often, in order to look within at what you are no longer in alignment with. This particular time of compression has been more intense because you chose to move through it as One in order to move a great deal of old energy.
Your new template is flexible, fluid, and can be altered at will. If something doesn’t feel good or right, trace it back to your template, because your template holds what you believe to be true and you have the ability to change your beliefs any time. You might ask yourself these questions: What do I have to believe about myself to feel this way? Do these beliefs belong to me? Do they serve me now? This helps you to reset your template, which creates a new neural pathway through your brain, which affects your nervous system, which tells your muscles that it is safe to relax and expand. All of this brings more ease to your body, mind and spirit.
April energy feels lighter simply because you are doing the work that elevates your vibration. When your vibration is elevated, you are better able to integrate all of the new energy that is coming to you.
Until next time, we leave you with a few things to contemplate:
~Fears are based on the beliefs that you carry that no longer serve you.
~Spontaneous healing is the result of raising your vibration to match the vibration of a version of earth where disease does not live in your body.
~Acceptance of where you are (your body, your circumstances) in the present moment is the key to then consciously choosing to raise your vibration to meet and match a higher vibrational version of earth where your dreams and desires already exist.
~Manifest not just for your own desires but for how they affect those around you as well as the world. Example: In manifesting abundance, imagine how you are able to help your family and those who would benefit from your abundance. If you are manifesting a partner, imagine how happy your family is for you; how much they love your partner and how you all celebrate your love.

During February you received an influx of very high vibrational energy and light. It is still flowing, it never ceases, yet the intensity of it will shift a bit in March. What this means is that you are changing (expanding your awareness and evolving at a DNA level) faster than you ever have before as a human. Most of you already know this, but it helps to hear it from other sources because the process of rapid change is often hard on the body and the psyche.
Many of you are already holding the vibration of a different version of earth, and at times, you recognize the fruits of your labor around you as wonderful things unfold for you in your life. You are still doing the work even if less than wonderful things have been unfolding in your life. The reason the less than wonderful things are showing up is because your energy is necessary for the ultimate shift in consciousness that you came here for and you are a necessary part of the whole; a puzzle piece that fills a particular spot or niche. In many ways it doesn’t matter what your job is, what matters is the energy that you ARE. What matters are your thoughts, words and actions. You are remembering how to respond instead of reacting.
Responding from a higher vibrational place of acceptance emits a completely different energy pattern than reacting out of habit or fear. Your energy is necessary for the consciousness shift, so even though you spend time in the feeling nature of living on a peaceful earth for example, you may still witness violence and be aware of wars still being fought because your peaceful thoughts and energy are necessary building blocks to make that version of earth a reality for not only you, but others who are doing the work to offer their version of intending for a peaceful world. As we have said before; you are not changing the world, you are changing yourselves. In changing yourselves, you are raising your vibration while inviting others to do the same, and your high vibrational energy meets other high vibrational energy and literally makes matter, or manifests what already exists. You are fulfilling your purpose for being here: Raising your vibration as individuals, but ultimately as a collective in order to transcend and become free of the very limited 3D existence that you have been living.
Everything that occurs offers you an opportunity to react or to respond. You are here to remember this and to make a difference, to show others that they are capable of changing simply by making the conscious choice to do so. February may have brought you face to face with opportunities to react or respond, as influxes of high vibrational energy stir up all that is lower vibrational. February energy may have felt heavy or intense because of this, and your body, including your energy field has to acclimate to it. You may have felt doubts, fears and uncertainties as things in your life and in your world shifted and changed. They will continue to change as you are in a cycle of rapid awakening. This cycle is part of a larger 20 year cycle that began in 2024, and will bring major changes.
Every change that is occurring already exists on a version of earth, and a version of you exists on every version of earth. This means that you absolutely have the feeling of everything that you wish to manifest already within you. If you wish to live on a peaceful earth, bring yourself into the present moment and consciously choose to feel the energy of peace within you, allowing yourself to feel deep gratitude that you live on a peaceful earth. The more you do this, the more you are connecting to the peaceful version of earth that a version of you already exists on. If you do not see proof of it the next day, remember that you are offering your high vibrational thoughts and feelings to others like yours, and connecting to a bigger and more powerful vision and version of a peaceful earth. In the meantime, your life can be peaceful because you choose for it to be.
The more you are at peace in the present moment, the more that energy expands into your consensus reality.
When you feel fearful about the way the world is, that also expands into and affects your consensus reality. Acknowledge your fears. Accept that they are there, as more often than not, that is all that fear wants: Your acceptance, your attention, your understanding. Facing your fears through acceptance and understanding takes away the control that you have given to your fears over your many lifetimes. You are simply reclaiming your empowerment, and that is a very powerful thing to do.
Every word you speak has energy. Imagine that energy as an incantation of peace, love, acceptance and grace that meets and matches others’ incantations of peace, love, acceptance and grace. You are making peace, love, acceptance and grace matter and that is a very powerful thing to do. The opposite is true as well, but we wish to focus on the positive, as the positive aspects are higher vibrational and literally contain more light, and where there is light, there can be no darkness. So cast those powerful spells of peace, love, acceptance and grace with your thoughts, words and actions.
March will bring in more high vibrational light and energy but you are always acclimating to it as you consciously choose to sustain a higher vibrational way of Being. This is a very exciting and powerful time to be human because you are aware that you are changing, and those changes mean freedom from all that has limited you up to this moment. And this moment is all there is.
So in this moment, choose peace.
Choose Acceptance.
Choose love.
Choose grace.
Choose gratitude.
And then simply BE. Allow yourself to be in the energy of Who You Are because it is your natural state of Being and this is your lifetime to remember.

In each moment you are making everything in your purview new. What this means is that by making a choice from a particular vibration, you are affecting not only yourself, as in the energy that you are, but you are also affecting the energy around you. To put it another way, you are seeing everything around you from a higher vibrational perspective, so what you see, and have seen day after day for your entire life may look different for a moment. You are gradually stepping away from the old labeling of people, places, and things. This may show up in your daily life in different ways. For instance, what you may call brain fog and forgetfulness is not necessarily a degenerative process. It could be that you are “forgetting” the old labels. Seeing an object or even a person and taking a moment to recall who the person is or what an item is, is potentially your higher self nudging you to let go of the need to label them. Your human brain is rewiring itself, and you are always creating new neural pathways as you consciously choose to raise your vibration and perceive yourself and the world around you differently. This is positive growth and change, as much of what you have labeled over your many human lives is now ready to be seen anew; seen through your inner, high self/soul perspective. Labels carry energy, and some labels carry very negative energy connotations. Not all labels are negative and they have served a purpose, so not all labels are going by the wayside but as you evolve and expand into integrating more of your high self, you are beginning to see all things as new. Your high self needs no labels as your high self doesn’t know judgment.
As you move more deeply into this process, recognize the freedom that this offers you rather than the limitations. To see the people and things in your life anew is an amazing aspect of this journey because you are ultimately making all things new by perceiving them from a higher vibrational perspective without labels and more importantly, without the negative connotation and judgment that some labels carry.
You are in effect shifting your perception into a higher vibrational earth “reality” where the lack of labels is an opportunity to experience life free of limitations. You are not changing the earth, you are changing yourselves, and in changing yourselves you are altering how you perceive everyone and everything outside of you. This is the process of “forgetting” all of the old patterns, programming, beliefs and labels that are no longer relevant to an ascending Being.
Part of this constant process that you are all moving through is also recognizing that you are all playing roles. You agreed to play certain roles in order to help each other to become more of your true, authentic selves. Your true self is not limited by the mind and ego, and the path to finding your way back to your true self includes deep self introspection. It includes accepting who you are in this moment right now. It includes accepting who you have been, and all that you have chosen to do up to this moment of now. It is radical acceptance of yourself, which only leads to the acceptance of all others, no matter the role they play in your life. In fact, the ones who play the most challenging roles in your life are the ones who offer you the greatest gift: That of bringing to your awareness what you are no longer in alignment with. When you are very aware of what you are no longer in alignment with, you have the ability to consciously choose what you are in alignment with, and at this point in your awareness of Who and What you are, you know that your choices are impactful and powerful.
In January’s message we spoke to you about raising your vibration to match the vibration of the version of earth on which you choose to exist. (Read past messages here: https://thefigleaf.net/journal-2/) The more you consciously do this, the more you will find it reflected back to you in your consensus reality.
There are many of you who have agreed to take this a step further and actively participate in raising the consciousness of humanity as a whole. As an active and conscious participant you are using your awareness of your multidimensionality to not only connect to and match higher vibrational versions of earth, but to show others how it is done. You are and will continue to see alterations in your life as you continue to raise and sustain a higher vibration but you will also be very aware of the turmoil and fear that many still feel. You are truly existing in multiple dimensions at one time, and you are beginning to recognize this. The recognition of this only strengthens your empowerment, which deepens the trust you have in your high self, the Infinite Being that you are. When you get caught up in fear, take the time to acknowledge and accept the fear, appreciating what it is bringing to your awareness and allow yourself to step right back into your empowerment as Infinite Being. This immediately shifts your vibration, which affects and alters the energy around you.
What you will also find is that who and what you are truly no longer in alignment with gradually (and sometimes immediately) become no longer a part of your life. You have most likely already experienced this, and we invite you to understand that this is not necessarily a fault of yours. It is you consciously choosing a higher vibrational existence where you no longer need them as catalysts in your life, and vice versa. There will always be people, events and things that act as catalysts for you, offering you the opportunity to choose what you are or are or are no longer in alignment with, just as you are for others. That is the nature of being in a physical existence, and it is a marvelous and beautiful existence because you are more deeply recognizing more of yourSelf.
In each moment you have the opportunity to perceive yourself, everyone and everything as new by simply choosing to. The limitations of labels are fading as you continue to expand your awareness. You are very conscious of how this feels, and at times it may feel uncomfortable or as if something is “wrong.” Seek guidance and help while trusting your intuition, as that is your high self communicating with you. You are all here to ultimately help each other.
The next months bring lots of change and it may seem as if it is happening very fast. In many ways things are happening much faster, and that goes hand in hand with your expanding multidimensionality and your awareness that myriad versions of yourself exist simultaneously.
We invite you to take a deep breath and know that in this moment, all is truly well.

Every day brings growth, opportunity, and the gifts of deeper self awareness and freedom from lifetimes of old energetic patterns, beliefs, definitions and karmic discord.
Every day is a step up the ladder in your journey through this experience of life in a physical body, and each step up represents your growing ability to sustain a higher vibrational state of Being.
Your state of Being is what creates your experience. You know this now, and as you continue on your journey you are always more aware of the importance of each previous step. You know that the most powerful words that you can speak are “I AM” because those words immediately bring you into the present moment, the only moment there is, and where you are at your most empowered.
Today we offer you another step, another tool to use in order to integrate the energies of August and September. We call this step the 4 A’s: Acknowledge, Accept, Appreciate and Allow. You can use the 4 A’s in any situation or circumstance you find yourself in. As an example, we invite you to bring your awareness into the present moment. State aloud “I am who I am, and it is enough.” It is helpful, but not necessary, to look into a mirror as you say these words. You might notice the impact and power of speaking to yourself in this way. Continue with “I acknowledge myself,” pausing to allow the energy of the words to settle. Follow with “I accept myself exactly as I am.” (Pause) “I appreciate myself, and all that I bring to the world.” Finally, “I allow myself to trust my highest self, and I allow my highest self to guide me.” These words are a guideline, trust that you will know what words to speak to yourself because you will feel the impact of them. Repeat often.
Repeating this exercise reinforces the new neural pathway you are creating in your brain, which is directly connected to your central nervous system. Repetition also moves energy, generating feelings that are ready to be acknowledged and addressed. This will change how you perceive yourself, which changes how you perceive the people and the world around you. Your thoughts, words and actions carry greater impact in the coming months and into the beginning of 2025 because of the work that you have been doing to deepen your awareness of Self.
You are also becoming more aware of your parallel lives. All of existence is in the Now moment, meaning nothing is in the past or in the future. The human brain may not be able to fully comprehend this and that is OK. Your higher mind/self knows this and the more you allow yourself to be guided by the higher mind/self, the less your brain has to work to try to figure it all out. When you look into a mirror and you say “I am in acceptance of myself” (or any of the other 4A’s) imagine that you are looking at yourself in a parallel lifetime in which you are existing in the 5th dimension. You are invited to play with this and observe how you feel, and what you might be able to perceive in that higher vibrational reflection of yourself. These steps are meant to build upon those that we (and many others) have been sharing with you over time.
September brings a change of seasons, which is a perfect time to be aware of what definitions, beliefs and patterns no longer serve your highest and best. You have been able to clear karmic discord for about 10 years now, and each time you choose to acknowledge old energy, recognizing that it no longer serves you, you are clearing the energy within your Akashic Records. This is powerful because that old energy is no longer in your parallel lives. It is no longer in your cellular memory. The old energy no longer has power over you and it no longer festers in your body. You are in effect, purging your Akashic Records, something that you previously have not had the power or ability to do. We understand the life altering implications of this and wish to energetically impart this to you through this transmission. The words you are reading carry energy. When reading this (and other) transmissions they resonate with you or they do not. Trust what you feel as that is your higher self letting you know if something is helpful and meaningful to your growth and evolution.
We say it often, but it truly is an exciting time to be alive on your planet because you are creating great changes that affect everything and everyone. Everyone that is alive on your planet plays a role in the changes that you are here to experience because the changes that you are making would not happen without everyone playing their part. As you accept yourselves and each other, the truth becomes very apparent. Welcome to the new energy, the new earth.
