The Way It Is

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

by Ken Page and Nancy Nester -

BECOMING SPIRITUALLY FLUID - Everyone has their version of the ‘way that it is’. We all find a way to define our world or reality. Once that is accomplished, we can form belief systems that will support our version of the ‘way that it is’. All of our life experiences pass through the fine mesh filters of our own beliefs to emerge on the other side as our truths.

THE CLASSIC QUEST - Finding our own truth of the ‘way that it is’, can often take a lifetime. We embark on the journey of discovery and questioning: Who Am I? How did I get here? Why am I here? What is my purpose? This becomes the classic quest of our own eternal soul. And so our journey begins. The only challenge occurs when – through no fault of anyone – we question everything and everyone outside ourselves, in search of our answers. We may even think we find ‘the way that it is’ in a particular spiritual path, or different spiritual teachers. Then our belief says we have found the ‘way that it is’ and it is perfect.

That usually works – until we realize that we are still searching, still finding something not complete. We begin to question our path, our teachers, and everything else in our lives – only to remain questioning our own questions.

Once we discover that we are unable to find the answers outside of ourselves, we can begin to create a reality that works. This can become the framework of our conscious mind. We will perfect this ‘way that it is’ to make sure that everything fits, that all our questions are answered and that our life seems to work. We relax, feel secure in this reality and just know that we have this whole thing called ‘LIFE’ figured out. Now we have arrived – we can feel in control of ourselves and proud of our accomplishments. This is a very good point to begin.

DETACHMENT - However, if we become attached to the ‘way that it is’, we can become rigid in our own thoughts and ideas. Rather than feeling free and liberated, we become trapped in self-righteousness and spiritual arrogance. If this occurs, it may be quite awhile before we realize that we are not experiencing any new growth, new insights, new creations – we are stuck in the reality of our fixed self. The reality of this new life circumstance then begins our search for the space of knowing and not knowing – the simultaneous existence of being in the moment and remaining flexible for change and choice. When this happens, we are reminded to become spiritually fluid.

We can not begin our experience on this planet to grow, expand into the vastness of our soul’s vision, discover who we are as multidimensional Divine beings, and use that discovery to serve our planet and its’ inhabitants until we become fluid. After all, how can we remain in the old version of the ‘way that it is’ when everything around us is constantly changing and moving ? And – how do we recognize that we are stuck ?

INDICATORS OF BEING STUCK - The first indicator comes when we find we have a need to be right. Being right has been important in some arenas, because it ensures us a position of power and approval. The need for approval - based on some of our old programs - translates to our feeling accepted and loved; which in turn means that we are not alone. This is how important being right can be for some. This is also how we can get stuck in the energy of our old ‘way’.

The second issue for us is our need to stay in control. We will use control to create a predictable life with no surprises or negative unknowns. It goes hand in hand with the need to be right, both producing a sense of power and security. We will know that we are stuck in our ‘way that it is’, when we have the need to prove or justify our truth. The key word is, need. We will find ourselves defending our thoughts and position around our beliefs. We may become frustrated or angry when someone doesn’t understand us. We then feel unsupported, which makes us react even more.

If we are attached to our beliefs and truths, seeing them as the only ‘way that it is’, we will limit the infinite possibilities that can come to us and therefore limit our experience. Moving past the need to be at the center of our own universe, we discover the balance between knowing and not knowing, which allows us to be spirituality fluid.

FINDING BALANCE - There are ways to finding this balance. We can begin by cultivating compassion. Everyone has their version of the ‘way that it is’ and for many people, they have needed it just to survive. We can have unconditional compassion for where they are, for their own creations. They are Creators, just like us.

One of the easiest ways to finding our balance and to maintain a clearer vibration is to think of ourselves as Liquid Light. Remember, water does not stop its movement or flow. Even when faced with a boulder in the river, water goes over or around the obstacle without hesitation. As the research of Dr. Masaru Emoto has proven, our thoughts, emotions, feelings, or ideas have a resultant effect on the structure of water. As our bodies are mostly water, liquid vibration, our multidimensional cells are directly affected by our thoughts, emotions, feelings and ideas. Liquid Light is the same feeling that one feels when they connect with Spirit.

First, we experience ourselves as Liquid Light, fluid and adaptable. Then we can add a color to that light, (a color that represents what we feel is our essence). By thinking of ourselves as Liquid Light combined with our chosen spiritual color, we can change how we perceive ourselves and the ways in which others also perceive us. In this way, we can begin unconditional acceptance of ourselves – compassion for self. That is the direct compass towards the unconditional love needed for true healing and pure creative vulnerability.

Your Heart Space

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

by Jennifer Hoffman -

Believe From Your Heart - In times of trouble you want to believe that you are loved and supported, cared for and nurtured on all levels. You want to quiet the chatter of your mind when it reminds you of the disappointments of the past and the uncertainty of the future. But quieting the mind requires constant vigilance because the mind operates from the past. In order to truly believe that you are loved, that you are a miracle master, that your spiritual journey will take you to the destination of your dreams you must believe from your heart because it is the heart space that knows faith and trust. The mind will follow the heart’s lead when you believe from your heart.

It is the mind’s job to navigate the material world and you have spent your lifetime training it to do so. Everything you know about the material world comes from the information stored in the mind and that includes your emotions. The heart and even more, your spiritual heart, is focused on your divinity, the perfection of your being and carries the energy of home for you. When you ask your mind to believe it must go back to the past and find a matching experience. If it cannot it will remind you of every reason why you should not believe. But the heart works differently.

Your Source Connection - The heart space is focused on your limitless potential, is connected to your field of possibilities and only knows of your perfection. As your Source connection, it is unconcerned about the past because it does not know the past. It is unconcerned about your beliefs and perceptions because those come from the mind. It already believes in every solution to every situation and the answer to every question. The heart space invites partnership with the mind-can you make that connection? It is up to you to create balance between heart and mind, between the spiritual and material, to allow unconditional love to overtake fear and the light to transcend the darkness.

When you believe from the heart there are no barriers or obstacles to your manifestation abilities. Everything you want to know, do and be is already completed in your heart. It waits for you to connect to it, to bring its potential to the material plane with the participation of the mind. When you believe from your heart, your mind and heart become partners and the mind becomes the grounding energy of your dreams. This week, allow your heart and mind to work together to manifest your dreams. Believe with your heart so your mind can provide support for the energy and its manifestation in your life. Believe from the heart so you can accept your divinity and spiritual heritage and manifest the life of your dreams.

Dissolving Duality

Monday, December 8th, 2008

by Yael and Doug Powell -

Love Dissolves All Symbols of Duality - When your heart is open completely and your vibration is aligned with the Real, then you, as the heart of God, are able to encircle the whole Earth and to lift every stream of consciousness, every heart and every atom into the truth of its existence, beloved ones, as only perfect Love.

Love brooks no resistance, no obstacles. Love transforms all, dissolving before it every recalcitrance, every shadow and every existence of anti-Love instantly and easily. So what I ask of you, My beloved ones, is you wake to the truth of your own heart. Let it become the wings of the universe, truly the Twin Flame heart of God I Am.

When you can feel its vastness and feel the rhythm of the one heart beat, then embrace this world, including small little ego selves, for even ego dissolves in the grace of pure Love. Anti-Love disappears in its Light, just as shadows disappear in the noon day sun, or darkness disappears in that closet when we turn on the Light of God.

So when you are tempted once again to turn to Me and to ask Me how to heal something or how to move beyond the little mind and ego, or how to deal with the issues of the world, I encourage you now and in every fresh Now Moment, to make this leap into your heart and into the grand awakening of your heart’s true experience as the womb of Creation itself, the generators of Love and that which embraces all that is, in tenderness.

As you become more and more available for this experience of yourselves as the Real heart, then you gain the distance that is needed to live from the Real and to transform everything, including the ego mind and all of its limited identities which include every aberration, every reflection of anti-Love at all – whatever it is.

So whatever your prayers might have been in the past, let this be your one true prayer. “Open me, God, to the heart of Love I Am and let me embrace the world.” As more and more of you are able to do this and to feel this and to feel the power of your Twin Flame Love, the Love that you generate will transform easily all of the duality of the world and launch it effortlessly into the one truth, the great all-inclusive Love of life that will reveal every life on Earth as exactly that which it truly is – the expression of the Love That I Am as Light and Love, and as the movement of joy.

Your life in the world will become true ecstasy because heart perception will be your only mode, and every Now Moment you step forth easily as the heart of God I Am in the world encircling everything with Love. The only way to do this, beloved ones, is practice. Practice connecting to your own heart and allowing your heart to lift you beyond the dream of separation into the Real of Love. The more times that you practice this, the more Now Moments that you feel it, the more that your resonance matches Reality and the more you recognize Love’s power. The heart of God you are becomes a force for transformation of the world now.

Not through the ego mind and struggling to gain mastery but by loving everything from the Real as the fully awakened heart of Love. The hallmark of this awakening is the feeling of a Love that is so great, it is totally beyond words, beyond all capacity of the ego mind to describe it or to evaluate, but rather, it is like great waves of ecstasy and feeling and the absolute certainty that Love is the truth of it all.

It is this certainty, beloved ones, that brings your heart to focus here – to be the entrance of the Real in the world and allows you to become the fountain of life and of Love that brings these waters of truth to humanity now for the awakening of the bridge world, the world that is new because it is the world that the heart reveals. Then, all that seemed to be physical is revealed to be spirit, to be these dancing molecules of living Light, powered by the furnace that is Twin Flame Love, reflected through every single life stream in all Creation from the atoms and electrons to you, the cells of the center of the All.

So this Message is not about words but rather about the feeling of the Real and of the Love that is your heart as you expand your vision into the perception of the Real heart you are, the heart of All I Am in the Now, living the one circle of Love. You would not be reading or hearing this Message or receiving it directly if it weren’t true that you are available to be this feeling, these great waves of living joy, to embrace, to inundate and transform everything in the world into its true nature. This is the miracle of Love. Everything that it encircles is revealed in its essence. The essence of all Creation is Love. Thus, the transformation simply becomes the Real awakening of every atom and electron into its true self and all life into its Real nature. Everything else dissolves.

This Day I Will Re-member

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Lightworker Daily Reminder

I ask that spirit walk with me this day and that I have the courage to carry this truth within me in all that I do. To fully stand in my own truth and power is to honor the spirit within. Help me today to re-member both who I am and who I am not. Who I am is magnificent, yet to carry a facade of who I am not only detracts from that magnificence.

To accept the truth of my own limitations clears the path to carrying my true power. I know that holding my power is only possible when I am not afraid of being vulnerable. This day I will balance my ego by checking it often and seeing my true motivations. I accept the power that is rightfully mine and will use it to create Home on this side of the veil.

I ask that I may allow Spirit to emanate from me to all who choose to look upon me, that I may be a perfect mirror so that they may see the God within themselves. Help me to touch their hearts with my Love and allow them to re-member Home and who they really are as I re-member who I am. As Spirit walks with me this day I remember to give thanks for the gift of Spirit on my shoulder. May I always use it to the highest good of all concerned.

I vow to enjoy this day to its fullest and to laugh at every opportunity. This day I will play the wonderful Game and I will carry the vibrations of Home in every move on the Gameboard.

This day I will Re-member.

Path to Awakening

Monday, December 1st, 2008

by Lauren C. Gorgo -

There is before you, and each soul on earth, a path to awakening to the pure potential of Christ light that resides within your heart-space. This light is most notable in those who are beginning to awaken during this most chaotic time period on earth. What this means is that those who are on earth at this time to recognize their divinity are here for good reason, for they hold the light packets and the infinity codes within their DNA and genetic wiring for complete transmutation of lower vibrations.

YOUR PURPOSE - These dormant aspects of your current biology offer you the ability to step outside of your limited perceptions of self and the life around you to realize the beauty of interconnectivity and oneness that surrounds you. This, my friends, is why you are on earth at this special time. This is why you have chosen to awaken at this particular stage of earths evolutionary journey.

Your purpose on this earth is none other than to awaken to the beauteous splendor of who you really are and that which expresses the joy of creation. Stepping into this role is one that requires a shedding of the old and outworn paradigms of life to begin to realize that there is more than the human eye can see and the human heart can dream. Now and in this stage of your journey, you are beginning to put the cosmic pieces of your puzzle together to form a cohesive and structured pathway that will lead you to the infinite expansion of your inner most dwelling.

This space is one that you have implanted within before your incarnation here and it is the work of your soul to guide you to this remembering. In this time in earth’s history there is the potential for a complete and total resurrection of the body of this planet and therefore, the inhabitants upon it. So then, what is your special part? What we would like to provide you with is an understanding of how the genetic aspects of human construction works to assist in awakening the human consciousness.

PERCEPTUAL REALITY - There, in the space of what you call the earth dimensions are frequencies or codes that are written into geometric grid systems of light and intelligence and connect each human to a level of understanding of perceptual reality. This grid system works to incorporate all the levels of cosmic and stellar activity within the physical embodiment of a soul. The purpose then, of these grid systems is to allow for each individual to grasp the information and consciousness of a particular field for the purpose of individual and collective awareness and experience in 3d, better known as the tangible dimensions of earth.

HARMONIC BALANCE - Your role then in this grid system is to connect with and incorporate the light that is emanating from these electromagnetic fields as they relate to you, to restore, rebalance and re-calibrate your human form. When this has been achieved, those who are ready to walk into the new and higher vibrations on earth will be prepared and well suited as they will have been guided by these unseen forces to their destiny. This is the genetic/energetic perspective. The spiritual or perspective of awareness is that one must be in a state of complete clarity and harmonic balance to achieve the level of trust and knowingness necessary to employ the missions of the soul. This state of clarity is one that is achieved by the letting go of preconceived notions of what is, what was, and what will be, to allow for the truth to become.

LIMITLESS POTENTIAL - I will expand upon that by saying that you are in a position to step onto the path of your limitless potential, should you choose it. This path is one that was set into motion by you and therefore only you can take yourself to the infinite. Taking yourself to the infinite is merely a process of allowing…should you allow yourself the greatness of who you really are, you will succeed victoriously. The path of awakening to your divine potential is one that requires little, but the requirement is one that the human ego resists. This requirement is surrendering to the experience of what is, outside of thinking.

ACTIVE PARTICIPATION - We say surrender as a form of allowing, yet surrender is often an active pursuit. TO surrender one must be in an active role of participation with the soul, and in complete faith. This active participation is the process of seeing clearly what is of egoic making, but squarely requires the muscle of trust to be developed and readily exercised. Faith then, is the only pathway to truth and finding the truth of who you are is not to be found in your thoughts, but in the experiences of the heart. This state of mind that humans created with thoughts of separation is actually the state of mind that must be transcended to affirm the afore mentioned truth.

Once this state of mind has been realized, you are then in a position to understand, with clarity and by visceral experience, the truth of your being. This is the space to not only realize your innermost desires and passion, but to begin to put them in motion. The questions that reside in the human heart are there for good reason, to remind you that you are more than you “think” you are.

INFINITE JOY - Allowing this light of truth to descend upon you is paramount to your fulfillment. Those who honor these questions of the heart, are those who courageously step on the path and claim their true power as conscious cocreators, capable of divine fulfillment and infinite joy. What then are your questions of the heart, dear souls? What is calling to you deep within the inner most recesses of your being? The answers to those calls are also within you, and the process to remembering is in your hands. You hold the power to eliminate all in your life that no longer serves you in order to make room for what does. The space that you hold is yours by definition, you must create the new space that you desire without the distractions of society or the voices of others.

You alone make this journey to your full potential, but there is help along the way. You are always guided well, but you must answer the inner call.

HARMONY AND BALANCE - Beloved ones, know that as you begin to explore the inner world of the soul, you can allow the outer world of your prior creations to disassemble with peace. You can follow the undercurrent of where your life is leading you and feel confident that you are being led by the seat of your power and expression of your higher self. This version of yourself is what will bring you into total harmony and balance through experience, and will allow for you to express that which is unexpressed.

You will come to know what you long for as you allow life to lead you, so contrarily opposed to leading your life. Most often this requires a mere shift in consciousness, for one cannot think their way to salvation. Experience is neither good nor bad, it is only what you perceive it to be, so allow for experience to alter you and you will benefit greatly. A human life has the potential for ultimate peace, love and joy, but to achieve this, one must BE the blend of such balance.

This balance is especially important in relationships for relationships require that one give and receive equally. In order to give, one must have; in order to receive, one must allow. This balance is a natural by-product of intimate relationships especially, and is achieved through the afore mentioned experiences of the heart. When one allows for the light to enter the heart-space, like-attractions become commonplace.

This ALLOWING is what manifesting is made of, synchroncities that form as a basis to living a life with ease. Often, the human ego will block these miracles by interjecting with thoughts of doubt and feelings of powerlessness as a result of a hardened heart which blocks the love that already surrounds you. Heal your heart of all that no longer serves your vision of life and the love that is already yours will come into plain view. The human being was designed to create. So then, beloved one, what will you create with your infinite power?

What will you attract with your limitless potential through the formless substance of creation? We say, uncover and BE who you are in truth and you will attract all that you ARE.

The only question remains… who are you BEING now? Blessings and miracles are bestowed upon you always, but only if you allow for them YOu can feel safe to let go, many are waiting to escort you to your destiny. These soul-mates will appear when you are ready to allow and receive them.

Alignment of Consciousness

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

by Shirley Knapp -

The alignment of consciousness is not so much about what we do, but about how we feel. At times our lives can be extremely challenging. We may feel frustrated, depressed, and even fearful. In the midst of such challenges, we may wonder how to live a more balanced life. One key to remember is that all of our experiences lead us to the next step on our spiritual journey. Indeed, it is important for us to understand that we already have all that we truly need to take our next steps into alignment.

INTO ALIGNMENT - Alignment in life means that we are balanced throughout our mind, body and spirit. This is important because when we are not in balance we are stressed, and long-term stress ultimately leads to disease.

So, how do we shift our lives into balance? One way to begin is by living intuitively and trusting our guidance. In working with clients and supporting the development of intuition, I often remind them that there will be times when guidance takes us into situations in which we may not feel comfortable at first. However, this is all part of learning to trust.

LEARNING TO TRUST - Three years ago, I was guided to leave my well-settled, very comfortable and familiar life in Vermont and move to Alaska. Many, including my family, thought I had gone off the deep end in a traditional mid-life crisis! After 30 years in Vermont, did I really want to leave my life and holistic practice to go — where?! As I packed up my life and sold my house, I discovered that I had many fears to release. I wondered why I was called to Alaska, and how I would come to be in balance and aligned in such a different lifestyle so far away. As time went on, however, I realized that I needed to go beyond my comfort zone, to stretch myself in both my faith and alignment.

SOUL LESSONS - Our inner soul searching will always take us where we need to go. It doesn’t support us to skip over our lessons, or go around them. For each lesson reveals the next rung on the ladder of our spiritual path. In working with clients, I sometimes feel their urge to hurry through a particular lesson, especially when it is challenging. I remind them that a soul lesson is here until we learn it. Only then will it be released. If it is not released, it will come around again in a new form.

TAKE THE PLUNGE - Joy comes in finding that when we make aligned changes in our life we are provided for. Each time I have taken a deep plunge into the unknown I realized later that it was the dive that was the scary part—not the unknown. Of course, the first step into the unknown is never easy; it can be terrifying. But this is how we make the next shifts in our consciousness: by letting go of our fears and taking the plunge into the new.

Shifts into deeper soul alignment often have a quality of inner release. The rational mind does not have a major role in this. Instead, alignment may come in meditation or by sitting quietly, in letting messages come through to our conscious mind, and in relying and acting on the messages that speak to our intuition.

As you take steps to align on deeper levels, the results may be felt in your body. You will become more peaceful, experience less stress, and have a desire to take better care of yourself with diet, exercise and meditation. You may notice how you are more relaxed and full of positive energy. Unhealthy situations or people will either change or be released from your life. You may find yourself changing careers, friends, spouses, hobbies. As you see the shifts in yourself—and as others begin to notice—you will begin to trust more in the process. Always remember that you are never given more than you can handle, or anything that you cannot do.

The alignment of consciousness is not so much about what we do, but about how we feel. It is not what job we do; it is how we feel when we do it. It’s not whom we connect with; it’s how we feel when we connect with that person. When we are living with joy and passion, we are in alignment; we feel alive and energized; our lives are running smoothly and effortlessly; and we teach others simply by being who we are how to live joyfully. Joy is our choice!

Balance Amidst Calamity

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

by Alan Weiss Ph. D. -

We’re experiencing unprecedented (at least in our lifetimes) economic turmoil, but this, too, shall pass. Here is some advice for overcoming the slings and arrows of the catastrophists:

Techniques for Balance

•Never act precipitously. ‘Knee jerk’ reactions are worse in crises. Be patient. Retain your common sense. Panic always deteriorates decision quality.

•Ignore the ‘pundits.’ There is a pundit for every occasion, every season. In highly complex environments, no one really knows what’s going to happen. Some of the media people have a certain duende. It’s superficial.

•Seek and restore personal relationships. It’s far tougher to gather strength in tough times when you’re suffering interpersonal conflict, whether with family or friends. Make it right, or make it go away. Establish meaningful new relationships whenever possible.

•Find the positives. There is seldom total gloom. There are personal, business, community, and collaborative opportunities.

•Help others. There are few activities as therapeutically cleansing and invigorating as helping others to overcome problems and see opportunity. (Studies have shown that people donate money not merely to help others, but because it makes the donor feel better. )

•Stay healthy. Emotional stress can be, literally, a killer. Engage in a fitness routine, which will provide surprising emotional reward as well as physical improvement.

•Treat yourself, no matter how minor the treat. George Ade, the humorist, once wrote, ‘Don’t pity the martyrs, they love the work. ‘

•Learn for the future. Whatever is causing you the most grief often has remedial potential. Create a larger cash reserve. Provide for more discretionary time for yourself. Proactively reach out to others. You get the idea.

•Laugh. Use the media to help you laugh. In the Great Depression, people spent a nickel that they couldn’t afford to go to the movies. Laughter improves your well being and ability to cope.

•Be careful to whom you listen. Make sure they are doing, at the moment, what you seek to do, or have accomplished, in this climate, what you seek to accomplish. If self-help books were really effective, we wouldn’t need them any more. Think about it.
