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.

Many people love to get signs from the universe, Source, their guides and angels. Signs come in many forms. They are a form of confirmation that you are on the path that is best for you in the present moment. The present moment is an important piece of the role that signs play in your life because the present moment is all there is. Everything is existing right now. Everything. So when you see a sign, it is a little message to stay the course; to continue to trust your high self, even though you may not know the outcome. In fact, we invite you to let go of having expectations of any outcome because it frees you up to move forward in the ways that are best for your overall growth and expansion into becoming your true and authentic self.
Signs are neither positive or negative, they are simply signs. When you are invited to stay the course that you are on in the present moment it means that there is something for you to gain by and through whatever events are unfolding. People often have the tendency to expect a positive outcome from a sign, especially repeated signs. This is not wrong, yet as you continue to expand your awareness, you are invited to be open to how you intuitively interpret signs, trusting that there is a gift unfolding, whatever that gift is.
Signs may point you down a particular path that at first may seem enchanting, and as events unfold the energy may shift. You are again offered signs to stay the course as events, people, even places all serve a purpose in your life and your ultimate growth. Especially what you might consider to be unpleasant outcomes. Truly there are no unpleasant outcomes, it is a human perception that labels and judges them. We understand that often you are challenged with tragedy and the human perspective is to judge an outcome or event as tragic, yet there is always something that arises from any event that offers an opportunity for a shift in consciousness. Understand that we are not disregarding human feelings and emotions; they all serve you as part of the human experience.
Signs are multidimensional in nature, meaning they not only exist in your parallel lives, but also offer potentially many meanings.

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.

Since you have calendars to mark the passage of time, the new year is an energetically positive and powerful time to set intentions. Intentions and resolutions are similar but not the same. At this juncture in time and of your awareness there is no need to re-solve anything because you know that you are not changing the earth that you live on, you are changing yourselves. As you change yourselves you are shifting ever so subtly into a higher vibration of earth; one that already exists, but has heretofore not been available to you. So as you set intentions that are formed from the highest vibration of yourself you are putting a plan into motion, offering it your energy, making it into matter. You literally make it matter. As more and more of you recognize your ability to do this, your energy meets like energy and you make your intentions matter.
2025 is the second year in this new 20 year cycle, and you will witness many things change in the next 2-3 years. 2024 energy was conducive to the continued stirring up of a lot of old patterns, beliefs and karmic entanglements that involve everyone who is alive on the planet right now, so at some level, everyone was affected. 2025 energy will move faster, bringing more to the surface while a simultaneous clearing out of old energy occurs. Some will find this refreshing and invigorating while others may feel bogged down as the higher vibrational energy offers the invitation to meet it. If you feel bogged down at times, it is part of the process of being able to sustain a higher vibration for longer periods of time.
Your energy is like a wave that crests and then falls into a trough. The trough phase can feel like depression, or like a heaviness, but it is a natural part of your energy flow. The troughs are important because they offer you insights into what you are no longer in vibrational alignment with. So we invite you to release judgment of the waves of your feelings and emotions. You may have more of this in the first part of 2025 as the energy “speeds up” and stirs up more within you as an individual and within all of you as a collective.
All of this is in preparation for the many changes that are happening within this next cycle. You can expect open contact with civilizations from other star systems within as few as 2-3 years from now. We say that you can expect it because you are moving in the trajectory of it, based on the vibratory level of the majority of your population. All things can change, but if you continue to practice the 4As you are constantly raising your collective vibration and that brings you closer to what you chose to be here for. (The 4A’s are explained in previous messages and you can find this information at thefigleaf.net.)
You can also expect many changes in the medical field. Your physical bodies are changing while you are working to create the new neural pathways through your brain that affect your autonomic nervous system. A division of your autonomic nervous system is your sympathetic nervous system, or your fight or flight response. Everyone has been living life in some form of fight or flight mode, which tightens the body, decreasing the flow of your life force energy. This affects every aspect of your physical body but for many of you it primarily affects your digestive system which affects every other aspect of your physical well being. The medical field is slowly coming around to rethinking how to help the body heal. There are many conscientious people working somewhat under the radar to bring about important changes regarding medicine on your planet.
Sometimes it is easy to feel discouraged, doubt or fear when your intentions are not met as you expect them to be. This new year takes you further into letting go of having expectations based on how things worked in the past and stepping more fully into the flow of the energy of expectancy. Being in the energy of expectancy has a flow to it that having an expectation does not. Expectancy is trusting that all is working out as it is supposed to for the highest and best for All. How things work out may look and feel very different than what your human mind remembers because your mind puts an emphasis on what it remembers from the past. The past no longer exists because you have evolved beyond believing in “past” and “future” lives and into the knowing that all of your existences are happening now. So when you set an intention in the present moment, you are effectively setting that intention throughout your parallel lives, shifting the energy throughout what you used to call the past.
The past truly doesn’t exist, because you have changed it.
This is a powerful statement and it is true. What does that mean for your “future?” It means the same thing: You are changing it with your heartfelt, soul guided intentions. You are in unknown territory for a human, and you chose to be here for this great shift in consciousness.
The unknown can feel overwhelming to some, scary to others, yet it is truly pure potential.You have the ability to choose how you move forward, and what vibrational version of yourself you wish to manifest as well as what vibrational aspect of earth you wish to live on. If you are reading this, you are receiving the energy of this transmission. It will make you feel something, and we invite you to be with the feeling. Acknowledge it, accept it, and ask what it means for you. Allow yourself to be with the feelings that arise within you because they offer you a gift. It may be as simple as an insight, or it may be something life changing. Even an insight can be life changing. We have no expectations about how you receive this information, we simply offer it because you are ready. You are about to graduate to the next level on your ascension journey.
There will be those that will leave the physical body in 2025 because they have experienced what they came here to experience and will be able to offer connection and guidance from their natural and free state of Being. The lines of communication are always open and will only open further.
We leave you to contemplate this: When you are getting ready to sleep at night, offer gratitude to everyone that you have met in your entire life. As you do this, there are individuals that will come into your awareness. They might be people who you may have been hurt or challenged by, or have hurt. This is a powerful exercise that not only offers the opportunity to forgive, but opens new neural pathways in your brain so that you are able to perceive these people from a higher vibrational perspective, that of your higher self; your Divine Source consciousness self. You are clearing the karmic indebtedness with people so that you can create good karma if you will, as you move forward. Play with this and see how it shifts relationships with others in your life, but also how it shifts your perception of yourself.
Until next time, we invite you to love yourselves as we love you; unconditionally.
by Valerie Sargent | Nov 30, 2024
As you come to the end of another year, it is always a good time to pause and reflect on how you have grown, changed, evolved and expanded your awareness. Even if you do not think that you have, you have. This is how you chose to experience this particular aspect of your awareness.
You do not have a soul, your soul has a body. You ARE your soul; that is your natural state of being. You have chosen to have the experience of living as a very limited aspect of your Self in order to have the experiences that you have been having so that you could learn compassion, unconditional love, acceptance, and grace.
Don’t all souls already know these things? Yes. What all souls do not know is the experience of livingevery aspect of love, peace, compassion, acceptance and grace within a very limited physical existence. This existence on earth is your soul’s opportunity to experience the dark as well as the light; the yin and the yang, hatred as well as love.
Why?
To have the experience. As pure Source energy, you only know Grace. As anything other than pure Source energy, you gain the experience of everything else, and that offers you the very profound experience of finding your way back to Grace: Unconditional love, acceptance, peace, compassion.
Experiencing every feeling, every emotion, and experiencing the effects of every feeling and emotion in other people is so profound, yet unavailable to you as pure Source energy. So you chose to condense some of the energy that you are into the illusion of being separate individuals who are existing in multiple dimensions at once, experiencing the plethora of all that is.
What a wondrous experience it is! There is an invitation in this moment, for you to shift your perception of yourselves yet again. In doing so, you allow yourself an even deeper recognition of who and what you are.
You are always taking yourselves to a higher level of conscious awareness and as you do, you are invited to make peace with all of your choices: The ones you have made in your own life as well as the ones you have made as a collective.
The world you live in is of your own creation. You are constantly manifesting your external reality in every moment, and this new level of consciousness allows this awareness to integrate more fully into your cells.
We have spoken many times of your High Self, which is the You that knows all. It is the You that you have been finding your way back to for many, many lifetimes and this is your lifetime to complete it. This requires making peace with every decision, every choice you have ever made as an individual and as a collective.
You do this by accepting yourself, and everyone else, exactly as you and they are. The very deep and profound changes that have been happening on your planet will continue to happen as you clear the energy of judgment. You are finding your way back to your true, authentic selves, and right now, that is still relatively unknown to you. Yet here you are, on the precipice of the unknown.
Your perception of the state of the world you live in is very important because whatever you perceive is showing you what you are or are not in alignment with. You then get to choose what dimension of earth you choose to live on.
You are not changing your world, you are changing yourself. In changing yourself, you are putting yourself into the illusion of a dimension of earth that reflects your current state of being.
By making peace with every choice and every decision you have ever made, you are clearing old energy out of your Akashic Records throughout every existence as well as raising your vibration to match the vibration of a dimension of earth that reflects your current state of being. You are changing yourself, and you are the only one who is able to do this. That last statement is profound in its simplicity as well as in its power.
Until next time, we leave these statements for your contemplation:
~You have the key to your own freedom.
~You are here to achieve earthly enlightenment.
~Everyone in your life is there as a reflection of you.
The amount of support you have from us is constant because we are all the same Source consciousness energy and we recognize how your growth affects all of existence. We also love you unconditionally.
