These are my answers and my truth at this moment. I can't prove it of course and I might be wrong, but I promise I think its true.
I like your post because I like summaries like this - they are quite fun to do occasionally.
1. Is ascension an actual phenomenon?
Yes - I will stake my life on that one.
2. Are ET ready to appear to the people of this world?
They do already, but not on a mass, undeniable, public stage; so I would say: no, not yet - maybe nearer 2012, and after we have done most of the work we need to do
3. Is 2012 the date for a profound change?
Yes - very freaking profound
