Aloha Beloved Friends,
Since Per and I founded Aligning With Earth in 2016, this website has grown into an expansive collection of writings exploring ascension, enlightenment, meditation, spirituality, self-realization, and Source or Tao Realization.
For many years, I have written here under the pen name Asur’Ana, sharing insights, teachings, and reflections with readers from around the world. Some of you have journeyed alongside us since the earliest days of Aligning With Earth. Others have studied with our Dreamtime Ascension School, discovered our writings more recently, or continued onward upon your own sovereign path.
Today, I would like to share another dimension of my creative journey with you—one that began several years ago and has now expanded from books into animated filmmaking.
From Asur’Ana to Iris Starshine
In January 2022, I began a very different kind of writing project: a series of science fiction teen novels called the Aurora Earth Saga.
For these books, I write under another pen name: Iris Starshine.
Although the Aurora Earth Saga takes the form of science fiction and fantasy storytelling, its worlds explore many themes that longtime Aligning With Earth readers may recognize—consciousness, compassion, transformation, remembrance, ascension, humanity’s relationship with Earth, and the possibilities that may exist beyond the reality we presently know.
The first novel, Timelines Convergence (Aurora Earth Book 1), was self-published in April 2025.
It was followed by:
Book 2 — Echoes of Urtha, published in October 2025.
Book 3 — The Crystal Axis, published in May 2026.
Book 4 — Urtha Starfires, which is planned for publication in December 2026.
In the future, I also plan to publish four companion Poetic Dreamscapes books and four movie scripts, expanding the stories and creative worlds of the four novels.
I have also created a separate website devoted specifically to my work as Iris Starshine and the Aurora Earth Saga:
Readers who would like to explore the novels, characters, worlds, and future creative projects of the Aurora Earth Saga are warmly invited to visit me there.
Bringing Timelines Convergence to Life
My newest creative adventure is something I once could only imagine:
I am creating an animated movie based on Timelines Convergence.
Using emerging AI-assisted creative tools together with video editing, music, voice performances, visual design, and many hours of hands-on production, I am gradually transforming the first Aurora Earth Saga novel into an animated cinematic experience.
Because this is an independent production and an enormous creative undertaking, I decided not to wait several years until the entire movie is complete before sharing it.
Instead, Timelines Convergence is being released episodically on YouTube.
Each scene from the movie becomes its own episode, with a descriptive title that invites viewers directly into that part of the story.
Rather than simply presenting something such as Scene 12, for example, an episode can become:
Timelines Convergence — Episode 12: The Hidden City Awakens
This allows the audience to experience the movie as it is being created—one chapter of the cinematic journey at a time.
The Journey Has Begun
On August 12, 2026, I published the first installment:
Timelines Convergence — Episode 1: Opening Prologue
The Opening Prologue introduces viewers to the larger mysteries, histories, worlds, and converging timelines that will gradually unfold throughout the story.
I currently plan to release approximately one new episode each month on the Iris Starshine YouTube channel.
With 49 scenes in Timelines Convergence, completing this first animated adaptation will be a long-term creative journey. At the present pace, the project may take approximately four years to complete.
And Timelines Convergence is only the beginning.
My long-term dream is to eventually create animated adaptations of all four Aurora Earth Saga novels.
From Episodes to a Feature Film
One of the wonderful advantages of creating the movie episodically is that the work will not need to be recreated when the final film is ready.
Each completed episode is also a completed portion of the movie.
Once all of the episodes of Timelines Convergence have been produced, I plan to assemble those finished sequences into one continuous feature-length presentation:
🎬 Timelines Convergence — The Feature Film
Because individual episodes are generally planned to run approximately five to seven minutes, the completed cinematic adaptation could ultimately become an epic film of approximately five hours.
The monthly episodes therefore are not merely previews of a future movie.
They are the movie itself, being created and shared one piece at a time.
The Aurora Earth Saga Is Coming to Aligning With Earth
I am also delighted to share another upcoming project with our Aligning With Earth readers.
Beginning October 14, 2026, I plan to start sharing chapters from the Aurora Earth Saga novels here on Aligning With Earth, with approximately one chapter published each week.
Over time, readers will have an opportunity to journey through the stories of:
Timelines Convergence
Echoes of Urtha
The Crystal Axis
Urtha Starfires
Aligning With Earth has always been home to a diverse collection of my writings. Since 2016, it has grown through many subjects, teachings, reflections, and creative expressions.
The Aurora Earth Saga represents another branch of that creative journey.
For readers who would like to focus specifically on the books, movies, characters, and worlds of the Aurora Earth Saga, my dedicated author website is:
And for those who would like to watch Timelines Convergence unfold as an animated series, you can join the journey through the:

A New Chapter of the Journey
When I launched Aligning With Earth in July 2016, I could not have known all the forms my creative journey would eventually take.
A website became years of writings.
Those writings were followed by novels.
The novels expanded into poetic dreamscapes and screenplays.
And now, those written worlds are beginning to move, speak, and come alive through animation, music, voices, and film.
Yet beneath these different forms of expression remains something familiar: an exploration of consciousness, transformation, compassion, remembrance, our relationship with Earth, and the extraordinary possibilities of existence.
Whether you have journeyed with Per and me since 2016 or have only recently discovered our work, thank you for allowing us to share this newest adventure with you.
The journey into Aurora Earth has begun.
We hope you will join us. 🌈✨
Huge Waves of Love, Gratitude and Blessings,
Asur’Ana and Per
