Winter 2026
You said recently that opening the Crystalline Gate will affect things both internally and externally, and that Guardians need to balance these new functions of energy. Please explain why and how.
The first thing to remember is that balance is necessary in every portion of your life—every day, all the time, always. That is something you will probably never need to stop working on, because balance in the world is a challenge, to say the least. So, even without massive energy changes, one needs to remember how vital balance is to every part of your life all the time.
But the second, and probably more important, part is to remember that the Crystalline Gate is Creation Energy made available out in the world for a while. It’s not going to be flowing out the way it is right now in another few years. I really am not clear on timing, but what it is right now is Creation Force.
Think of it as a liquid spilling out of a glass of water. You can get out of its way, you can stick a potted plant under it, or you can just wipe it up and ignore it. Those are the choices that are going to be in front of people, and what happens within shows up without. So, I recommend you stick a potted plant under it—meaning, use the energy to help in this world-rebuilding process and to help yourself to rebuild.
Over the last few months, certainly as recently as through November, you’ve been experiencing massive change. Your belief system has been hooked and prodded, and you’ve been finding out a lot about yourself. Now you need to be looking at what’s going to replace the unneeded, the unnecessary, the unwanted aspects that you are ideally learning how to release.
That’s how you’re going to use this raw Creation Force. And again, remember that everything you see out there around you is a mirror to what you are seeing and doing within. So, while you are making positive replacements and using this energy to manifest better walking shoes for your journey, you’re going to be seeing positive changes out in the world. On the other hand, if you are resistant, if you are not being self-responsible, if you are using power badly—that’s what you’re going to see out in the world.
What the Crystalline Gate is doing is pouring out Creation Force, and that means what is going on with you is going to be accelerated and amplified out into your world. So what you see, Paula, is going to be different than what David sees. And you’re living in the same house! Imagine how different it’s going to be for someone in a different state or country.
So, I cannot say, “Here is what you’re going to see,” but it’s Creation Force. My recommendation is that you use it for your highest good.
