On January 4th, 2010 Jennifer McLean interviewed guest Geoffrey Hoppe, who channels Adamus St. Germaine, in her "2010 Predictions Week" series. St. Germaine said that the theme for 2010 is "learning to trust what you cannot yet see," and that the world is currently going through a cycle that will end in three years time. (This theme helps us in preparing for 2012.) In this article, I discuss St. Germaine's comment that the United States of America is becoming the "new Atlantis," and that Australia is currently the "runner-up" for this distinction.

I have read about and heard enough channeled material to know that predictions and prophesies such as these represent the state of conditions in the "higher realms" at this moment in time, the state of the "divine plan," so to speak, and that the outcome is not necessarily set in stone. It is an interesting claim though, particularly since life in the United States at the beginning of February of 2010 (when this article was written) doesn't look all that promising. At least not from the perspective of current "3rd-dimensional" reality.

However, it is entirely possible for America to become the new Atlantis (and in fact be a much better Atlantis than Atlantis ever was). The idea is not too far out for me. That's because about nine years ago, I had information channeled for me that predicted that I would write books on the new consciousness (and at the time, I did not have a clue what this "new consciousness" was, neither was I a writer, and in fact I was going through a grand-slam of a crisis then. Furthermore, my training had been in materials science and engineering, with a masters degree in environmental studies). What in hell was I doing entertaining ideas about writing inspirational books that would help others? My family considered me delusional, some friends abandoned me. The whole idea was perverse.

But ultimately I followed the "higher level" guidance I was given while, like a good scientist, noting what worked and what didn't work. (Hiding my panic behind my scientist's notebook I observed and noted and experimented. I got through it all by convincing myself that I was doing this for noble, experimental reasons--which, by the way, made me appear arrogant to some people, arrogant and self-deceptive both. But because people had mostly left me alone, conveniently this helped me develop my relationship with my higher self--which is what was required.)

I learned to distinguish my intuition from my mental conditionings and to follow through promptly and consistently with my true inner guidance. Doing this happened to activate a number of things, including increased mental capacities and some amazing and eye-opening occurrences that helped me write those books (two, so far). I can claim that my material is of new consciousness, is uplifting and revolutionary and this is why I have full confidence that the United States of America can rise up out of its own crises and become the new Atlantis. It will take something, of course, but it is very doable.

The formula for this is: each one of you individually (one by one) must rise up out of your own crises. And you do this by following the "new consciousness" of your higher self and integrating that into your life.

You have all the answers already within you (this is not just some old saying; it is the truth, damn it). All you have to do is to learn how to access those answers and then follow through with your inner guidance. This requires that you learn to distinguish your inner guidance from your mental conditionings and then gain enough trust in it so that you follow through with your inner guidance promptly and consistently. This reconnecting and integrating process activates universal flow, favorable synchronicities and amazing insights that will propel your life forward (and eventually resolve all your issues and crises.) It is part of preparing for 2012, so to speak.

St. Germaine said, "The old consciousness mind, old consciousness answers, the consciousness of the past will not work." (Which means we can stop trying to find it in the ancient texts. Besides, we are doing something new here on this planet, are we not, and you wouldn't expect to find something new in some old book, would you?)

He further said, "There is something far grander that cannot be imagined in your mind right now; it is of highest potential, so it appears that it's not there." (It happens to be in your higher self--the source of your "highest potential" is your higher self--but you have not learned how to tap into that power yet.)

The solution is to go within yourself, he said, to discover yourself, to get yourself back. (You will not lose yourself in the process or lose your identity--I can vouch for that. You will finally get yourself back.)

So how do you make the U.S. into the new Atlantis? You begin with yourself. You are not concerned what others are or are not doing. You connect within and integrate your higher self into your life through your actions. The actions you take will, over time, add up to become your contribution to this new Atlantis--not only for this country but for the world as well. This is how to prepare for 2012 and how you activate 2012.

"The world needs examples of new consciousness," he said near the end of the interview. Are you ready to be an example of preparing for 2012?
