"THE BRIDGE OF SWORDS"– Sep 29, 2012 (Kryon Channelling by Lee Carroll) - (Text version)

“… What have we told you about the bridge? Actually, not much except that in crossing the bridge, the old energy ones were not going to like it. Old energy does not want you to escape! Old energy doesn't want you to cross the bridge because it can't cross. Did you know that? It can't cross. The old paradigms of Human nature that you've known all of these millenniums have to stay on the old side of the bridge. It cannot cross, for the bridge rejects all that is not in love, compassion and light. Those things that are dark, including Human nature of the past, will not be able to go. But the ones I speak to right now are already on the bridge. That was your design, old soul, and those are the words that are ringing in your ears to this day and the ones given at the wind of birth, that this might happen in your lifetime. So what's going to happen next?

Swords

Let us talk about the swords: When you hear the word sword, the first thing that occurs to you is battle. The Bridge of Swords is a battle and we told you that as well. Swords are metaphoric and they mean many things, so let us describe the things we mean them to say to you.

Number one: They are indeed a weapon in a battle. There is a battle coming. "Kryon, does that mean there's going to be a war?" Potentially, yes. Right now we will tell you that the Middle East cooks itself. You've noticed, haven't you? What do you know about the Middle East, dear one? Let's start examining things for a moment. What energy did you grow up in? What was the energy of the Middle East? In the '40s, what was the energy? With the establishment of the state of Israel, you built a wall of hate, both sides. The wall was so thick that the children of both sides were taught to hate one another as soon as they were able to understand the language. They were told who their enemies were. Now, where were you then?

Some of you weren't here yet. By the time you arrived, in your youth, were you aware of the Middle East? Not particularly. "What's the hatred about?" you might ask. What if I told you it's about a family feud? Two sons of a Jewish master are involved. One founded the Arabs and one remained a Jew. They don't want to hear this, but they are all Jews. (Don't tell them this.)

If you look at the lineage, it's pretty obvious and yet it's a complete and total set-up for either solution or war. The set-up would have this world ending in a conflagration that would have been brought about by this hatred. That's in the prophecy of Nostradamus and your scripture, but it is no longer the prophecy of the planet. Yet the hatred still exists. The hatred is as great today as it was then, but where was all the terrorism 40 years ago? It was isolated.

Those in Israel and Palestine and surrounding areas took the brunt of it, but now it's seemingly everywhere - and you're worried. Why would this be? The answer is that the old energy was happy to have this hatred contained, for it would keep it going and never involve outsiders. Outsiders tend to bring unwanted light to the party. Suddenly, the whole earth is involved and can see the entire scenario before them. The old guard wants war, just like all the eons before them. The ones on the bridge are holding the light and showing the earth how to cross. Even many younger ones in Israel and Palestine and Iran are holding light! It's all around the old guard and they are furious, for they are losing the "battle of hatred." …”

“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

US supreme court decision paves way for sweeping expansion of gay rights

Court declines to hear appeals from five states – Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin – seeking to uphold same-sex marriage bans and paves way for legalisation in six other states

The US supreme court paved the way for a sweeping expansion of gay rights across the United States on Monday, declining to hear appeals from five states seeking to uphold bans on same-sex marriage.

The court’s unexpected decision means that same-sex marriage becomes legal in Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin, where states had been appealing defeats in the lower courts.

Couples in six other states – Colorado, Kansas, North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia and Wyoming – should be able to get married in “short order”, the Associated Press reported. Those states are covered by the jurisdictions of the courts involved in the defeated appeals.

Legal experts were digesting the implications of the supreme court decision, which would make same-sex marriage legal in 30 states and the District of Columbia – a majority of states in the union.

Evan Wolfson, president of the campaign group Freedom to Marry, welcomed the court’s decision to allow the lower courts’ rulings to stand. “The court’s letting stand these victories means that gay couples will soon share in the freedom to marry in 30 states, representing 60% of the American people,” he said in a statement.

But he called on the supreme court justices to “finish the job”. He said: “We are one country, with one constitution, and the court’s delay in affirming the freedom to marry nationwide prolongs the patchwork of state-to-state discrimination and the harms and indignity that the denial of marriage still inflicts on too many couples in too many places.”

Ed Whelan, of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, an opponent of same-sex marriage, criticised the court for its “irresponsible” decision. He conceded that it would be hard for the court to rule against same-sex marriage in future, having allowed so many pro-marriage rulings to stand.

The decision was clear in its implications for the five states directly covered by the appeals turned away by the supreme court. Same-sex marriage could be legal in these states within hours, provided the relevant circuit courts dissolve the stays they had put in place when ruling in favour of same-sex marriage.

“The only point of the stay order was to maintain the status quo pending the ultimate resolution of the cases, and there is now an ultimate resolution of the cases,” said William Eskridge, a professor at Yale Law School.

The decision also paves the way for same-sex marriage to become legal in the six other states which have cases pending in these circuits: West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Wyoming, Colorado and Kansas. “If I were representing the plaintiffs in all those states, I would be moving for summary judgement today,” said Eskridge.

There are still hurdles in the path to legalising same-sex marriage in those states. District courts may decide that the cases before them were different enough to warrant new appeals. “This is an area of the law in flux though and it is not inconceivable that a district court in one state might decide to argue its case is different enough from another in the same circuit to warrant a fresh appeal,” said Jessica Levinson, a supreme court commentator and professor of law at Loyola Law School in California.

States could also petition the courts for rulings en banc - that is, in a sitting of all the judges on the court.

But the lower courts would nevertheless be bound by the precedent set by the appeals that the supreme court allowed to stand on Monday.

The supreme court move took legal experts by surprise, as the prevailing expectation was that the justices would simply delay making a decision, rather than turn the appeals away. “The impacts are pretty substantial and that may just may be an indicator that if and when they do [rule], they may well rule in favour of marriage equality in any event,” said Carl Tobias, Williams professor of law at University of Richmond.

One of the supreme court justices, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, suggested in September that the court would delay taking up a case until a circuit court delivered ruling against same-sex marriage, which may happen in one of the more conservative circuits.

“… Gender Switching

Old souls, let me tell you something. If you are old enough, and many of you are, you have been everything. Do you hear me? All of you. You have been both genders. All of you have been what I will call between genders, and that means that all of you have had gender switches. Do you know what happens when it's time for you to switch a gender? We have discussed it before. You'll have dozens of lifetimes as the same gender. You're used to it. It's comfortable. You cannot conceive of being anything else, yet now it's time to change. It takes approximately three lifetimes for you to get used to it, and in those three lifetimes, you will have what I call "gender confusion."

It isn't confusion at all. It's absolutely normal, yet society often will see it as abnormal. I'm sitting here telling you you've all been through it. All of you. That's what old souls do. It's part of the system. …”
