More on Bridge People
Recently, I referred to an article by Daniel Jacob on the "bridge people," those who are here at this time to help us make the transition to the new era. Daniel has now given me permission to quote more from his article, which I think offers much to contemplate.
The Bridge People
B Y D A N I E L J A C O B
HAVING JUST RETURNED FROM PARTICIPATING IN the Conscious Living Expo in Spokane, Washington, I find myself fascinated with the diversity and quality of people who are "coming out of the woodwork" and revealing themselves at large gatherings such as these. There are as many Masters and Soul Healers walking through the aisles and sitting in the lectures as there are producing and staffing these events. The energy was high in Spokane, and potential for connection and collaboration was enormous. It was truly a smorgasbord of love for a people-person like me. Because we featured information on the New Kids, many people brought by their own children so we could meet them. Nearly all had stories to tell, about the powers and the purpose currently flowing in and around our Children of the New Earth.
Most of you are aware that something marvelous is underway on Planet Earth. Souls are expanding (sometimes painfully!)... and hearts are being filled with this huge sense of "impendingness" that can be almost overwhelming at times. We, as a Planet, are making our journey HOME. We are REMEMBERING... and, as we do, our options for growth and healing are increasing by ten, twenty, fifty, or a hundredfold! Moving from lives of 3D Limitation to Journeys of Reconnection is a big, big deal. Support is almost always needed, and I am finding that when "times of transformation" grow near, the right kind of support always seems to be there. How does that famous phrase go? “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.”
I saw this clearly reflected in those I met this last weekend. For every person who prepared to open to remembrance and ancient knowledge, there were a whole host of "midwives" who gathered 'round, offering support and guidance through the process. Years ago, before the Harmonic Convergence, I reclaimed a great deal of my own remembrance at Psychic Fairs and Expos. There I met some of my most powerful teachers as well.
There are those who always seem to arrive on the scene at just the right time. They assess the needs of our situation and they say and do just enough to lubricate and illuminate the process so that spiritual rebirth can occur. My Spiritual Guides, The Reconnections, will often refer to these powerful folks as "Bridge People."
Old Souls in New Bodies
In one of the earlier transmissions, the Recons used these words to describe the power and life purpose that we are discussing today:
"Whether one visualizes them as resurrected, born again, or simply Gods and Goddesses come down to mix with mortals - there will appear shortly upon the face of the Earth a race of priests and rulers - the souls of ancient and beloved Shamans and Druids, come back to experience the final "act" of this play.
Indeed, they live and breathe upon the planet as we speak. Many of them have purposefully "forgotten" who and what they are. They wake up to normal jobs, as did Richard Bach's "reluctant Messiah," yet they surely are not "normal." They sit beside you at the diner, shop in your grocery stores, and lie on beaches reading books and magazines.
These are the Children of Oneness, aged and seasoned to meet the need which shall soon present itself! Though they were born "from the old ways" and steeped in ancient customs and bygone disciplines, they return today to stand beneath the Tree of Life. As thunder rolls and temporary chaos shakes the Tree, these wise and wondrous beings shall catch the ripe fruit, precisely where it falls."
One essential characteristic of a Bridge Person is a well-developed sense of fairness and energetic neutrality concerning what is happening here in 3D. Deep down, we know this is all just a Game. It is a planned excursion from Eternal Spiritual Beingness into Human Limitation. We do it, grow and expand, as a Planetary Oneself. We also do it to explore more carefully who and what we all are. Finally, we do it for amusement... and amuse us it surely does!
The parts of us that need to be laid aside while we're on our 3D Journey are carefully watched over by Guardians who keep them safe and return them to us when they are needed. When the Reconnections first approached me back in 1991, they described themselves as all those parts of my expanded self that I had to forget about in order to become human. In a sense, Bridge People serve this same purpose for humanity. We keep one foot on solid ground, even while other parts of us soar through the heavens, searching for new truth and imagery to light the way home.
The Guides continue, as they describe what it's like to travel this path:
“Your world systems, your planetary alignments, your modes of thought and manner of living, are soon to transform. Crafty forces within your governments, angry citizens without, rush at each other...O! So silently, neither one comprehending the storehouse of terrors that each has directed against the other.
To "abstain" from taking a position "against" someone or something, in a highly polarized environment, is to become functionally invisible. Indeed, it is our resistance against someone or something that landed us in physical form in the first place! To unravel, bit by bit, each strand of judgment and condemnation - to begin to embrace all others as reflections of yourself - Is to merge with a new vibration, a "homing beacon" of grace and peace that creates a whole new world.
To learn how to "hide" in this maelstrom of worry, hostility, aggression, and separation is to begin to live "between the cracks" of society. When you are lost in the crowd and looking for comfort, it often feels as though you are the only one left with any sense of softness, any desire for freedom from the din of hostility. Then suddenly, an invisible hand reaches out from behind a lamp post and pulls you into a hiding place where Spirit can teach you how to look at life from an entirely new angle.
The Spirit of Oneness calls forth its leaders by peeling away their Veil of Forgetfulness, like layers of an onion. As in days of old, the leader will not seek this post, -but rather, each simply acquiesces to his assigned duty through finding that he can literally do nothing else!”
Again, we're talking Spiritual Gifts here, aren't we? We’re talking about a pre-set motivational urge that comes, when it is time for Bridge People to go into action, playing out soul contracts that were struck long before we made our journey into this World of Form. When we arrive here, we are asleep (at least some of us are). And then, at the proper time, an internal alarm sounds and we began to awaken. That which was forgotten automatically comes to the fore.
Many of our New Kids are being born fully conscious. They remember what it was like to leap out of mother's womb, and they waste no time telling perplexed parents who they were (or are) in other lives, and what they came here to do in this one. They wear these traits for us, because many Baby Boomers have chosen to remain asleep. Because somebody has to do the work, our kids leap right into it.
A Force of Nature
The Guides tell us that Bridge People are not a race, per se. They are more like a force of nature, a will to survive! They put on bodies, they take off bodies, so they can make their appearances in time and space. But really, they are everywhere (and nowhere), all at once. In each incarnation they carry a memory of being a "survivor." But those difficulties and dissonances that they hold in memory, those life conundrums or periods of momentary heartbreak, are a mere pittance compared to the maelstroms that they have transcended and endured across time. And now, some of YOU are being called forth to be Bridge People as well:
“At this important period in Earth’s History, many of you toss and turn in your sleep, praying for peace in the world. My Dear Friends, you ARE peace. You are the Watcher who sees, the Feeler who senses each and every nuance of what is happening. Stillness is a part of what you are, but would you want to endure that forever? Indeed, would you want to endure anything forever? Let it be! Let it all be! War, famine, joy, dancing, birth, death... it all has its place. It all has its season. And there you are, in the midst of it, watching, feeling, being it all. You are now, and always were, citizens of the “Betwixt and Between.” You are bridges that connect and explore ALL OF IT. You peer into shadows, and your very gaze lights a candle in the darkness. You lie down in the meadow, and thousands, millions, even, lie down there beside you. Do you believe this?”
Building Bridges for the New Kids
Many folks who listen to The Star Children CD, or read articles I have written about these New Kids, will ask me: “How can we help make things easier for our Next Generation as they awaken?”
Generally speaking, young people are not respected in society today. For Star Children to gain influence, and actually begin affecting the way we all see life and make decisions, they will need to be granted some of our authority. Slowly, this is beginning to happen. Thanks to the efforts of writers and researchers like Steve Rother, Lee Carroll, and Dr. Doreen Virtue, Star Children (or whatever they are being called) are gaining an audience. They are beginning to be heard.. . . .
Whether they are assisting us through a sharing of knowledge, financial support, or shared authority, BRIDGE PEOPLE are playing a huge role in the transformation process now occurring on Planet Earth. In some countries, they are even laying down their lives, so others can walk across them to new hope and freedom. Their powers and influence go way, way back. They are ancient souls, stepping forward to assist humanity as we learn to live in new and expanded ways.
This article is my way of saying “thanks” to all who have served this purpose in my life. It is also my way of sending out a clarion call to any Bridge People who still slumber. Arise! The time of Transformation is near! Your people await you. Wake up! Wake up!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Daniel Jacob is a conscious channel, writer, and a Bio-Energetic Body Worker who lives in the Greater Seattle area.
On 11/11/91, he began working with a group of energies that called themselves "The Reconnections." Daniel has developed a complete archive of information that has come through from them on a number of relevant topics. Daniel and his associates have been doing research with people around the world, collating data and comparing notes on the topics of Physical Transmutation and Earth Changes. He has produced a 2-Part CD, on which he explains the story of "The Star Children" in depth. He calls it a "tonal infusion for the New Age." You can get more information about Daniel and his work by visiting his websites: www.thestarchildren.com and also www.reconnections.net, or by e-mailing him directly at: daniel@reconnections.net.
(from Dorothy): I am quite taken with the description of the "bridge people," and indeed, I feel I am in contact with several. The other major idea of the article, that we are to take no position on events and occurrences of our present world, gives more pause. I fully understand the need for "compassionate understanding," for viewing without hate and witnessing without becoming that which we deplore. But I am a bit hesitant to say that--for us who live in this moment--all that happens is merely a game, some kind of recreational outlet for the higher self. Part of me acknowledges that--in the very long run--what happens in our little world may seem like merely a dream of the spirit, not to be taken all that seriously. But for those who are the victims of presently occurring violence and cruelty, this philosophical distinction may seem like a callous disregard for the suffering of others. I think we need to find a balance between caring concern and copout. And I also think it is possible to make judgments (such as , "killing people is wrong,") without succumbing to hatred and vitriolic scorn. Inaction can create a vacuum where the wrong actions of others can easily prevail. (Sometimes, we need to sign petitions or join peaceful demonstations to let our government know where we stand.)
