Evelyn Bell passed away Thursday, March 10, 2016, at Sutter Roseville Hospital after a brief illness, She was 95. Ms. Bell was a well-known musical theater actress and the widow of Russell Lewis, Broadway producer and co-founder of Sacramento Music Circus. She was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on February 11, 1921. A versatile actress and singer, she started her career in vaudeville alongside such luminaries as Bob Hope, Perry Como and the Gumm Sisters (before Frances Gumm became Judy Garland). Musical theatre came naturally, and Ms. Bell traveled the U.S. hitting all the major regional theatres of the time. During the Second World War, she put her career on hold while she entertained American troops at military bases and hospitals. She resumed performing after the war – theatre, films and the brand-new medium of television. In 1951 she was cast as a “resident” member of the ensemble for the first season of the fledgling Music Circus, performing in five productions. During that summer, Ms. Bell and Mr. Lewis became engaged. They were married on October 26, 1951, in Ensenada, Mexico. Ms. Bell continued her career while raising the couple’s two children. A versatile and resourceful actress, she appeared in more than 60 Music Circus productions before her retirement in 1983, playing roles as varied as Golde in “Fiddler on the Roof” and Bloody Mary in “South Pacific.” After residing in Hawaii for many years, Ms. Bell returned to the Mainland in fall 2007 to live with her son Richard and his family. Mr. Lewis is the CEO of California Musical Theatre, the successor organization to Music Circus, the company that was his father’s legacy. Other surviving relatives include daughter Madith (Dita) Lewis-Panter of Orangevale, her sister, Veronica McKinley of New Brighton, PA, six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. No services will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations in Evelyn Bell’s name may be made to California Musical Theatre, 1510 J Street, Suite 200, Sacramento, CA 95814.

Much has been written, spoken and channeled about the Fifth Dimension and humanity’s ascension into this new realm of existence.

In addition, many “ordinary” people are now having their own experiences, visions and inner “downloads” about the Fifth Dimension.

Not every source agrees on details about this dimensional reality, but most describe similar major characteristics, which are described below.

Ascension into the Fifth Dimension

According to ascension teachings, the earth and all beings living on the earth are in the process of shifting into a whole new level of reality in which a consciousness of love, compassion, peace and spiritual wisdom prevails. This has been called the Fifth Dimension.

Some say this shift will probably be complete within the next couple of decades; others give no date. But all seem to agree it will be complete sometime in the near future, although individuals will be each moving into the Fifth Dimension at their own rate when their frequency is high enough to match the vibration of the higher dimension.

Most teachings state that the shift the earth and humanity are taking into the Fifth Dimension has been “planned” for eons. Also that it has already been happening in the last few decades. December 21, 2012 was a date that was given as the mid-point of the shift taking place, and that it will continue to unfold in more and more obvious ways, picking up speed, as time goes on.

A Fairy Tale?

Much of what has been described about the Fifth Dimension can sound like a fairy tale:

• All people living in peace and harmony, experiencing oneness with all of life, fully respecting all people and the earth itself –– love and compassion flowing through all communications

• Equality, justice and respect for all human beings reigning on earth—no more hunger, poverty or crime — abundance available to all

• Everyone living without fear—with complete trust in the Divine

• Everyone awake to the majestic, divine inter-dimensional beings they truly are

Some of the descriptions can sound even more “out there”—such as people freely communicating with beings from other planets and galaxies and traveling to distant parts of the universe with these beings.

Imagination, Memory or Intuition?

And yet, haven’t we all had dreams of living in a world like this? Are these dreams just figments of our imagination?

Or are they memories of what we, thousands and thousands of years ago, once experienced—and at some point lost, as we descended into the kind of world we know of today, filled with struggle and suffering and lack of direct connection with the Divine?

Or do these dreams perhaps come from intuitions about the future that is in store for us? Many of us are having these intuitive feelings; some are having clear visions; others are inwardly hearing about the reality of humanity’s future will be. Some of us feel we have been waiting thousands of years for these times we are now entering.

If we seek deeply within ourselves, we may find that these dreams of an ideal and peaceful world are actually both a distant memory of what we once experienced eons ago and an intuitive glimpse into what is now beginning to happen on earth.

And our longing to return to this ideal world is simply a yearning to finally return Home to this beautiful world ahead of us.

How Can it Happen so Quickly?

The question might arise: How can this possibly happen? How can this world turn around from where it is today and become this utopian kind of world? There is still so much darkness on the planet—wars, hatred, prejudice and injustice.

The answer is two-fold: First, thousands of people on the planet are now experiencing an awakening of the heart at an unprecedented rate—and this awakening appears to be speeding up, as time goes by. At some point, the hundredth monkey phenomenon will inevitably take hold.

And secondly, not everyone on the planet at this time is making the choice (consciously or unconsciously) to make the shift into the Fifth Dimension.

All souls have the choice to enter 5D, given they have assimilated sufficient light to hold the energy levels that exist in that higher vibration. But many will be choosing to leave the earth within the next couple of decades to move on to other third dimensional experiences in other parts of the universe. They will not have finished with what third-dimensional reality has still to teach them.

Those who are choosing to stay and make the shift with the earth will be going through some intense and rapid changes, as their bodies and minds make the radical changes needed to shift into the higher consciousness requisite for moving into the Fifth Dimension.

Difficult times call forth creative responses

Uranus-Pluto square gets very serious indeed

The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ (full title: The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ: The Philosophic and Practical Basis of the Religion of the Aquarian Age of the World and of the Church Universal) is a book by Levi H. Dowling, first published on 1 Dec 1908. He said he had transcribed the text of the book from the akashic records, a purported compendium of mystical knowledge supposedly encoded in a non-physical plane of existence. In the later 20th century, it was adopted byNew Age spiritual groups.

The title is derived from the practice in astrology of naming time periods in terms of constellations and their dominant positions in the sky, according to the earth’s axial precession. In that system, the Age of Aquarius is approaching.

“All that is solid melts into air. . . ” (from Communist Manifesto)

Great quote from Christopher Lasch and his 1995 book, “Revolt of the Elites” on EMPATHY:

“Contrary to popular belief, empathy and understanding are not associated primarily with being nice to each other. They are products of fully witnessing each other’s lives – especially through conversations that help us truly see and hear each other – of activities that help us realize what it is like to BE each other, to live the life we are given.” Lasch predicted a democratic crisis resulting from the fact that “elites speak only to themselves,” partly because of “the absence of institutions that promote general conversations across class lines.”
