Powerful Shifting Cycles at the Solstice/Holiday Season

Happy Solstice/Holidays, Soul family!

Whenever we are in a time of accelerated challenge, it is particularly important that we create a context of healing potentials. All things are in our lives to serve us on our Soul journeys... but it is so easy to lose sight of that when things around us are seeming really wacky and out of balance in the world around us.

For those of you who have been following me online for a while (as I have been sharing messages about this time since 1997), you will be more familiar with the fact that Archangel Gabriel has told us for decades that this would be a time of unprecedented change and challenge.

However, few of us were taught growing up that challenges are in our lives to serve us. Only by facing challenges do we claim more of our personal potential and prepare for what is coming as next opportunities in our lives.

It was initially a challenge to learn how to feed and dress ourselves, and yet those potentials serve us. it was a challenge to learn to read and do math, and yet the potentials that we gained by facing those challenges serve us.

It is the same with any challenge that we are willing to face. Of course, we also need clear tools for resolving those challenges... which is why I created this School of Self-Mastery (with my late friend and Soul brother, Robert).

Helping thousands of people around the world negotiate this time of unprecedented moves into the unknown has been the greatest joy of my life!!

In order for you to help as well, one thing you might do is share messages like this one with people you love.


All of Life moves in cycles. We can relate to daily cycles, weekly cycles, monthly and yearly cycles most easily in our lives. However, there are also much larger cycles that are always in motion as well. And this time that we are in happens to be perhaps the most powerful shift of cycles in the history of our planet.

That is a grand statement, I know. However, I have also had the chance to receive a profound education from an Archangel over the last thirty years, accompanied by getting to participate in 15 planetary initiation journeys that set this unprecedented shift into motion. The experiences that took place on those journeys were similar to events that I had only watched on movies like “The Ten Commandments” when I was a child. Gabriel told us that these miraculous moments were configured on purpose, so that there would be no doubts about the power of these shifting cycles.

The first level of good news is that all of these things that have been taking place in recent decades are intended to prepare us for the largest awakening and expansion that we could imagine, and certainly that we have ever known. The awakening of Soul consciousness in our individual and collective lives will be a quantum shift for us all. As a matter of fact, if you consider that there has been more awakening and change of consciousness in the last thirty years than in the 3000 years prior, you will begin to get a clearer picture.

More good news… so much of what will take place is up to each one of us. It is in our hands. However, it is unquestionably more appealing when we have an education about what is taking place, as well as clear tools to be able to navigate these shifts. That is what I have dedicated my life to providing for those who are interested in exploring this particular, nurturing approach to that Soul awakening.

The awkward news… we are already being impacted by these shifts in surprising, often frustrating ways. And will continue to be shaken up, no matter what we choose. If we try to hold onto the old norms, we will simply have to deal with the friction that is created when we resist the flow of change. This is why I hope you will prepare for this beautiful opportunity, by investing in a clear education and begin to practice healthier choices than what most of us were ever taught.

This is a time when the Soul is attempting to break down all levels of opposition, resistance, fear and shame in our lives… because those things hold us in limited containers and comfort zones that don’t allow change and growth. Those energies stand in the way of the awakening of meaning, value and purpose. And like it or not, the Earth is now moving into a time of healed duality, resolved separation, released false impressions of hierarchies that don’t recognize the clear, equal value of all.



We could go on endlessly about the state of the world, which has been revealing the profound imbalances that we have all collectively created. The stage we have been moving through together has been a crucial stage of learning, but the evolution of the Soul plan is now presenting us with a clear choice. We either learn to resolve whatever limited energies of fear, shame and judgment that we still carry in our bodies (and act out in our lives with others) or the energies that are moving will naturally reveal the consequences of friction and resistance… which equals break down and pain.

Pain is ultimately attempting to show us what choices don’t serve us, just like when we put our hand on something really hot. This does not serve, and the pain is our body’s attempt to get us to shift course, making new, more informed choices.

The Solstice is a time of shifting cycles, when the planet reminds us of the deepest move from light into dark or dark into light. It is a microcosm of the move that we have made from the light of the Soul into a focus to peripheral outer things—hoping that we can compensate for not feeling connected to Self, by filling up the emptiness with things or achievements. This is the dark move away from our sacred hearts and our capacity for love and value.

Of course, the move into darkness serves us as well. If it is a move into stillness and inner contemplation, then it can help us get clear about our next intentions—the moves we want to make toward the things that matter most to us—whether that be an intention for the next day in the Sun or the next week/month/year ahead. Without that inner connection and willingness to make clear choices in the contemplation, the dark can be the hideout where we try to stuff everything we want to avoid and we miss the opportunity of this part of the cycle.

The point is, at this time of ending another year and moving through another Solstice, we are reminded to make clear choices, to create a sense of motivation to move toward things that matter to us… which needs to include learning to value Self and one another and the planet herself.

The Soul is the realm of meaning, value and true purpose. It will continue to penetrate our lives, revealing anything that is out of balance or held in the dark, along with any myths of fear, shame and judgment that we carry.

So it is my wish for all of you that you will choose to use this time wisely… to make clear choices, to reach out for support, to invest in a healthy education about Self and about the cycles of Life that can make this the most remarkable time of coming together.


The biggest shared challenge that I see at this time is the potential for us to move even more deeply into fear, separation and opposition. I see it happening all around me, and it is heart-breaking. In a time of pandemic, discussion about vaccinations, polarized countries/governments/political parties… we are simply revealing how much fear and separation we have actually been holding down all along. This time of Corona virus has only given us a chance to reveal what we have been holding in the dark of our subconscious… and it is now being brought into the light… so that we have a capacity to make clear, new choices.

If we let this fear of one another separate us in mistrust, then we will all lose.

If we let this become a time to heal fear, to come together in support of one another’s individual choices, we can learn to shift the systems we have known into an even more evolved approach that values all people. This is crucial. This is crucial. This is crucial. This is the path of the Soul, to learn how to love and value. Together we are much stronger than we are separate.

If we are going to suss out the systems that are out of balance, demanding that things shift toward more balance and equality, then we MUST come together. Let’s look for our shared humanity, before we end up creating even more challenges than we have at present. That is entirely possible as well.

This is a time for Soul-searching. Who do you CHOOSE to be at this time? What do you choose to stand for… that is loving and inclusive?

There is no way to avoid the collective challenges that are before us… and it is so helpful to understand that everything that is taking place is part of the shift of evolution that we are in… the awakening of Soul consciousness, which only sees the sacredness of all.


It is my greatest wish that we will all choose to make coming together in love and value our clear priority in 2022. And again, I encourage you to share this message with people you love.

Blessings to you all, whatever you may choose as your particular path.


As always, I close with “Choose well. Live fully. And by all means, be good to you.” Ron
