As soon as I heard of the death of Michael Jackson, I knew it was symbolically huge. What did Michael Jackson represent to the mass consciousness? He was an icon. The world viewed him as a superstar, bigger than life, exceptionally talented, and one who was unafraid of showing the world who he really was.
His death represents the death of the icon.
One definition for icon is a representation of some sacred personage. We looked up to him and other icons as being "more" than we are: more talented, more successful, more powerful, etc. We have given our power away long enough. Our power is not outside of ourselves. Just look in the mirror and you will see the physical representation of your sacred personage. You, too, are a god or goddess incarnate. The Source of All moves through each of us equally. All we need do is to awaken to this truth and take back our God-given power. This is clearly a doorway for us to awaken to who we truly are.
The word icon exists in our vocabulary because the notion of a deity being outside of ourselves was planted in mass consciousness. We have worshiped stones, symbols, and beings because we were told we were less than. Somewhere along the way, something was lost in the translation and transcription of Jesus' words - You are gods and goddesses. This and more shall you do.
When I looked at the word "icon" I noticed that it can be separated into "I" and "con". Con is an adverb meaning against and it is also a verb meaning to learn, study, peruse, or examine carefully. One could look at the meaning of icon and say I am against it or we could look at it as "I can" instead. We could also think of it as "I am learning, studying, and examining who I really am.
It is clearly time to extract the word icon from mass consciousness and replace it with "I can" and "I am that. I am."Joan Cerio - Keeper of the Keys to a Masterful Life

Dear Friends of the Light,
I know many of us are weary and ask how much longer can we endure more of the same. We have listened to our inner knowing, our God Self, and faithfully carried out the orders from mission control. Sometimes these directives meant leaving home, family, friends, possessions, and professions. We made friends instead with the dark nights of the soul. Most importantly, we opened our hearts - the master key that opens all doors.
Many of us are now remembering who we truly are. This is necessary in order for us to stand fully in our power. For true power comes from living the truth of who you are. Before the pendulum can swing back the other way so we can find our new balance point, we must be able to stand in our power.
We hold the light, not through doing, but being who we are. We hold it by speaking our truth, by assisting others to remember who they are, by being in our joy amidst the chaos, by being the beacon for others to find their way.
We held space for humanity and the planet long enough that the energy now must return to us. It is how energy works. Think of it like a tsunami. Because of this great disruption in energy, the tide flows farther out to sea than it normally does. For so long, much our of personal world has evaporated - money, home, possessions, etc., that we think it will not return. Everything seems eerily quiet and at a standstill, just like it does after the tide goes out in a tsunami. The energy that caused the tide to go out to sea must come back into balance. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Now the wave comes back with more force than normal. Prepare for the wave of opposite energy to come back. Do not be surprised at the speed and enormity of what is about to enter our lives. Look at it and remember the energy we expended to be where we are and to remember who we are. We will not be surprised for we will remember the way of the universe and instead, we are grateful.
In my book, In the Key of Life, An Activational Journey to the Soul, the writing for "Sight" begins
The blessings of those chosen to bring forth the light are here now. They fall upon those who hear the words of truth. Riches pour forth now. All are bathed in the light of compassion. It is happening before your eyes.
The tide is turning and our rewards are great. We lifted our frequencies high enough to affect change in the world. We excelled in our mission. Each of us will be called up on stage to receive our reward.
I am so grateful to each of you for the marvelous work you have done. Because of you and your love, we will all live in a much brighter world. And so it is.
Many blessings my friends!

For a while last year, I had client after client tell me they feel "stuck." The feeling of not being able to move forward is an illusion since everything in the universe is in motion. It is our human perception that gives us the appearance of stagnation.
I came up with an analogy for this experience that is also appropriate to describe the current energies. I grew up in a small town on the Erie Canal so it was easy for me to come up with the analogy of a canal system with a series of locks. Locks are used to raise or lower the barge depending on the level of the canal. Once a barge enters a lock, the gates behind and in front of the barge are closed. Water is then allowed to enter or exit the lock depending on the topography. While the barge is in the lock, it appears it is not moving relative to its immediate environment, even though water is flowing into or out of the chamber.
Which brings me to the current energies. It may appear that there is no outward movement. We can feel that our next mission is so close we can touch it and yet, it seems as though we are not progressing. We are like the barge in a lock. Until we allow in just the right amount of energy, we cannot move forward into the higher level of ourselves. Until the gates to the new kingdom are opened, we are locked in. We have also "locked in" on our target - who we really are and why we came. There is no need to wonder if we will arrive. Our guidance system is true.
Currently, there is much going on in our inner worlds. If we choose to scale a mountain, we must prepare at all levels. Physically, I am preparing for the new energies by hiking and working in the yard to stay grounded. Mentally, I scan my every thought to insure it is not limiting me. I open my mind to all possibilities and to the possibility that I may do things that I never dreamed of doing. Emotionally, I allow myself to feel every emotion without losing my center. Spiritually, I stay tuned into my energy, adjusting it as needed through meditation, music, toning, or being out in nature.
So here we are, preparing to scale to heights we have not yet attained. If we embark unprepared, we will not reach the top. Once our lock is full and the gate is open, we will move swiftly and easily into our higher level of being - into who we truly are.
The gates will open in June and after a short period of integration, we will know and feel we are at another level in July. Are you ready to allow joy, peace, love, and abundance to fill your life? Now is the time to prepare.
While my new website is prepared, I am offering Coeuresence School of Self-Mastery at a one time introductory rate of $225. If you would like to take advantage of this offer, please visit the Coeuressence page of my website, http://joancerio.com.

As I was channel surfacing last night, I noticed "Gone with the Wind" was on. I have seen the movie so many times that I knew intermission was coming right after the scene where Scarlet says, "As God as my witness, I will never be hungry again." The word "Intermission" was scrolled across the screen and of course the theme music was playing in the background. As I sat there blankly staring at the word intermission, it dawned on me. Yes, it is the perfect word to describe where we are energetically right now.
The prefix "inter" means between. That is where we've been for the past couple of months - between missions. The work we have been doing is coming to an end or may have ended for some of us. We are in a limbo state while the codes come in for the next manifestation of our soul work. Perhaps you have felt it, that in between state of neither being fully here nor fully there. I have experienced several days over the past month where I do not feel present. I know what it is like to feel out of my body and what it is like when my higher self is off preparing my way. This is different. It is like I vacated my body. We are on a vacation of sorts while we await the next set of orders from mission control.
Even my mail was in limbo as my post office thought that the forward was still active. For a couple of days, I had no address. Quite interesting especially since it occurred over Easter weekend. Perhaps it was symbolic of the death of my old self and now the resurrection of the new.
Also over Easter weekend, my computer experienced some technical challenges. In order to fix it, I did a system restore. I think in a way we are all experiencing our version of a system restore, only we are not going back in time to restore ourselves, we are going forward in time. Our systems are being rewired to accommodate the frequency of our next mission.
Without taking the time for this rewiring and decoding, our minds could not handle the enormity of our next mission. In order to be able to integrate this change on a cellular level, we are waking up now to who we really are. (Read my previous blog and you will understand.) The oracle card that keeps coming up for me lately is "Dream Big." Allow the thought that what you are about to do is grander and greater than you have ever imagined. Dream big. The sky is not the limit. There are no limits.
Celebrate and savor each moment. These days will soon be gone. There is no going back. By this summer we will see the fruits of our labor. We are about to give birth to our new selves and our new mission. On the weekend of May 9, there will be a rebirth celebration since it is the midpoint of the sixth day of the Mayan Calendar. To read more about this event, click here. Prepare your own rebirth celebration.
For now, why not get some popcorn, come back and relax, and enjoy the show!

For years I have wondered who I really am. I always felt that I am more than a human being. Since I was young, I knew I was different and that I have an important assignment to carry out. Knowing who I really am is essential for me, for I know that once I remember, my real work begins.
Symbols are an important part of my life. Their meaning transcends words and I understand them so deeply. They are such a part of my life that sometimes the symbols become literal. So it comes as no surprise that my higher self chose Easter week for the resurrection of who I really am.
On Holy Thursday, which also happened to be a full moon, a small group of "kindred souls" gathered inside a most special and sacred lodge. We shared our thoughts with each other. One of us began to give messages and then facilitated the energy for clear visions for each of us. When it was my turn, my vision was that of an angel with silver wings and a ball of light in her heart. I soon realized that the angel I saw is who I really am. Tears began to flow. I hear in my head, "I haven't fallen. I haven't fallen." I remembered that I had mastered many things and decided to come to Earth and experience what it is like to be human, to master that, and share with the world my heart light. Then I remembered the name of the location where I did my healing work...Heart Light Passages. More tears. I was told there will be more books and more information coming through. So much more than I had ever envisioned is coming.
Since Thursday, I have been getting message after message confirming my essence. It will take a bit to integrate this and allow each of my cells to really feel it and know it. Just a couple of months ago I again asked for an answer to the question "Who am I?" Things are clearly accelerating.
The beauty of Thursday evening was that I remembered. No one told me this is who I am. Would I have believed them if they had? When the knowing comes from the depths of who we are, we cannot deny it. I am an angel having an occasional human experience. My world has been turned upside down.
My December blog was titled, "Fallen Angel." Our higher selves are so cleaver. They keep sending messages any way they can until we get it. Now I also understand that I never "fell." I chose to come here, especially at this time, to be one of us, to experience pain, sorrow, joy, and love, and to assist us all in remembering who we really are. Love.

We are now in the depth of the shift. The energies of what was and what is to come are swimming together in a bubbling cauldron. Like a witch's brew, we are going through an alchemical process. This is our perfect storm.
We are not allowed to put off until tomorrow the work of self-transformation. I saw several people this week who are at a critical juncture in their lives. With their life force waning, they may be faced with the decision to live or transition out of this life. For years now, I have been saying that this time of transition will ask each of us to "sign up" or "sign out." The word intense does not begin to describe this pressure-cooker energy.
The waves of change are now cresting. A tsunami of dark nights of the soul are crashing on the shore of humanity. How will we ride these waves of change? Will we pull in our anchors, our supports, and head into the wind, into the crest of the wave to ride out the storm? Or, will our fear of making a decision and taking life-affirming action drown us? Do we have the courage, the energy, and the will to save ourselves from all of this tumult?
Collectively and individually we are asked these questions. We have little time to make a decision. It forces us to be in the moment and to TRUST our inner guidance and intuition.
Our intuition is our lifeline, our direct connection to Source. No anchor or boat landing will withstand the force of this storm. Go with the flow we must.
If you would like some free lifelines or tools for riding the waves of change, please visit the home page of my website, http://joancerio.com. My book, In the Key of Life, An Activational Journey to the Soul is a tool for self-transformation, along with its accompanying Key of Life elixir. I also offer personal transformation sessions over the phone. Just visit the products and services page of my website.
Remember, you are loved beyond measure and powerful beyond words. My love to you.

Self-discovery is a journey each of us enters alone. No one else can walk our path to who we are. Yet, we walk this journey in the world, not in a vacuum. We live in a world of the relative. Our thoughts, words, and deeds acquire meaning relative to something else, whether it be a social norm, another person's values, or our own standards.
Relating with another is the best and perhaps hardest way to unfold and know who we are. As we walk our path to self-awareness, people come into our lives always bearing gifts. We can all think of people who have come into our lives and forever changed us because of their presence or "presents." Some have come and gone. Some still remain. And some are yet to come.
Tonight's full moon lunar eclipse on 02-09-2009, which happens to be an 11:11 gateway, opens us to live in right relationship with ourselves and others. We experienced monumental change last year and of course, the change continues. As we pass through this gateway, (just look at 11:11 and it looks like a gate) the energy within our relationships with ourselves and others will align itself with our current consciousness. Beliefs, dreams, and ideals that are no longer in alignment with who we are now, come up for review, revision, or removal. Similarly, our relationships with others may come up for review, revision, or removal. Realigning our energy is sometimes uncomfortable and in the long run, necessary for growth.
As I wrote in my book, In the Key of Life, An Activational Journey to the Soul, "Change becomes the familiar structure." It is best we make friends with change and soon. In two short years, we will enter the last cycle of the Mayan Calendar. The last cycle, called the universal cycle, is characterized by conscious co-creation and a shift in consciousness every 20 days. Currently, most of us raise our consciousness about every year. Just think back to last year at this time and how you thought about things and notice how you have changed. Now, imagine going through that change in less than a month!
The purpose of walking our path is to unfold ourselves and show our true essence. Think of it as removing worn out layers of clothes. We are now getting close to removing our under garments. So, as our relationships change and come into harmony with who we are now, remember this too shall pass. Be in the moment! Enjoy! For we may never pass this way again.
If you would like to learn more about living in right relationships, register for my Teleconference tonight (2/9/2009) at 9 PM EST by going to http:joancerio.com/events/classes.html.
