Dear friends! We have entered 2026. A year that holds the promise of accelerating energies and deep transformation. We are being asked to re-discover ourselves, to reveal our true potential, and to share it. For the change we want to see, can only come through us. “This is not done for you, but by you” as The constant companions like to remind us in The manuscript of survival
So let us come together and welcome in the new year, shining as brightly as we can. We invite you to join us in spirit for the very first Gathering in Grace in 2026, this Sunday January 4 at 20:00 our time (UTC+1). Thank you for BEing here, thank you for BEing you.
With love, light and gratitude from Bente and Lisbeth 💞
PS: you can find the time that corresponds with 20:00 Norway time (UTC+1) in your time zone here.
Now, life has moved on, and my sister and I have been called back to Oslo. As we step into a brand new year, and some very NEW energies, I have also been called to “reawaken” this site, and to start to share these messages here as well. For even though 2025 brought many changes, I am certain that 2026 will be even more transformative. In a good way. We are being asked to create communities large and small, in person and online. To find our tribe, and to co-create.
More and more people are waking up now. I can literally see it in the eyes of people I pass on the streets. Hearts are opening up, we are beginning to SEE each other. This is how we change the world. By embracing the fact that we are, indeed, sisters and brothers. By coming together, and by allowing our own light to shine brightly.
I wish you all a magical new year! Let 2026 be the year when we let the song of our soul ring out loud and clear. Let us sing, dance, and co-create the NEW, as ONE.
In the early hours of August 16, 2011, exactly 11 years ago, I received the first of many hundreds of channeled messages that was to become The manuscript of Survival. That morning, I literally closed down my own business, emailing all my clients, telling them I could not work for them any more. I took a leap of faith into the unknown, because I just knew that this was my path to take from that moment on.
Aisha North was born on that same day. My birth name is Bente Amundsen, but as Aisha North, I embraced so much more of my own Self, the parts not restricted to the physical vehicle. At first, these two versions of me existed separately, but later, I merged them, also in public. That is why I always sign my messages with both names. But now, I have come to realize that my journey has brought me to a place where it is all ONE. The parts of me that needed to be acknowledged with the name Aisha North no longer feel separate. So from today, I will only use my given name, Bente Amundsen.
I have also come to realize that the leap of faith I took, together with my twin sister Lisbeth, in moving from Oslo, the place we both lived until two and a half years ago, to Stavika on the wild and rugged west coast of Norway, has been essential for fulfilling my life purpose. It is truly a labour of love that we do here, together with our soul sister Eva Julia and all our animals. More and more, we see how much our interaction and co-creation with Mother Earth and the powerful energies residing here impacts so many in a deeply transformational way. We see ourselves as custodians of this land, and we feel deep in our hearts that we have been called here. What started out as a dream of creating a home and a business together, has literally expanded into revealing itself as the very heart of our life purpose. Because now we see that everything we create here, is not just for us. It is for everyone who feel called to open themselves fully to the magic that is life itself.
Our gardens, the meditation spaces in our barn and in our lavvo tent, and all the sacred spaces that have revealed themselves on our land – they are all meant to be shared with others. It is for everyone who feel called to embrace their own greatness, whether they come here in person, connect online or simply through the heart.
Nature speaks loudly here, as do the energies. From the smallest of creatures to the intensity of the weather. And everything here wants to have its voice heard. The land itself, the animals, the plants and all of the unseen that reside here. Some of this, I have already shared in the photos I take to accompany the messages I share. But I also know that there is so much more that wants to be seen and heard. And now, the time has come to create a space where this will be possible.
Because here in Stavika, everything is interwoven. Words and actions, insights and creations, they all emerge from the same Source and carry the same message: see your own greatness, and share it with the world.
So from now on, all of the messages I receive will be shared in the new space where we will share everything else that comes to life here on our smallholding in Stavika: landofgrace.no Because it IS all connected. I will leave this space open, so you can revisit all of the messages and comments that have been shared here throughout all of these years. But I invite you to join me at landofgrace.no and click on the “Subscribe” button there. That way, you will still receive all the new messages that come through. Either through me, or through any of the other souls living here. You will also learn more about our life and our co-creations here in Stavika, as we continue our work to nourish the land and ourselves, inspiring others to do the same, creating a community of like minded souls along the way.
The monthly Gatherings will also continue. The first Sunday every month, I invite you to join us for a Gathering in Grace, at 19:00 our time. You are warmly welcome to join us in spirit for a heart-connected meditation, like the ones we have shared so many times through the years here at the Pond.
Thank you to every single one of you who have followed me through the years. Thank you for all of your love and support, you have helped me see my purpose clearly. And thank you for helping me fill this space with so much love, so much life and so much light. I am looking forward to welcoming you to landofgrace.no. I hope you will feel as home there as we do. For this is what I know deep down in my heart – I am finally HOME.
With love, light and gratitude from me, Bente Amundsen ❤ ❤
Rather, it is a world that finds its strength from
the simple idea that everything and everyone is connected.
And it is only through such collaboration,
anchored in the heart,
you will build a future
that stands on the firmest of grounds.

Dear friends! Welcome to August and the potent energies of the Lion’s Gate! Things are definitely heating up now, it feels as if we will have quite a ride the next few months. A ride that is so much easier to face when we know that we are a part of a “circuit” that spans the entire globe. This Sunday, at 21:00 my time (UTC +2), I am so looking forward to reconnecting with all of you and feel the “firm ground” that we stand on when we stand as ONE. Thank you for adding your unique frequency to the vibrant circle that is the Pond!
With love, light and gratitude from me, Bente/Aisha ❤ ❤

as the focus shifts along with the energetic resonance.
And then, grace will walk beside you
as you continue on your journey.
Back to your Self.
Back to All that Is.
Dear friends! We are entering the second half of 2022. “Turning a new leaf” is what I keep hearing, and for me, and for many close to me, June has really been a month of so much change. Closures, new beginnings, relocations, expansions, downsizings, hellos and goodbyes. Both within and without, the shift is palpable. And now, it seems we stand ready for whatever the rest of this year will have to offer. For this journey is not over. Surprises and delights await us, but also, many an unexpected twist and turn. This “purposeful journey” can be more than a little bit challenging at times. But it feels less daunting when we know we are not alone in this. Ever. And this Sunday, July 3, at 21:00 my time (UTC + 2) I hope you will join me for our July Gathering around the Pond. It is time to reach out to each other again, give ourselves a loving group hug and let grace take our hand as we prepare to take the next step. Together. I am so looking forward to seeing you all there! With love, light and gratitude from me, Bente/Aisha ❤ ❤
