Healing with Fifth Dimensional Probabilities

There are many challenging, and difficult realities on Planet Earth for all of us, but particularly for the seers and healers who are well practiced in navigating the dense limits of the third dimension and can no longer rely on these limits to define their scope and reach for their clients. Like each soul that encounters the full spectrum of experience in its journey of becoming, we lightworkers are especially challenged to become fully aware of the multi-dimensional need of our clients, many now no longer anchored in time space, but rather space-time.

Those who have learned to travel in consciousness have long been able able to seed fifth-dimensional realities, see and experience timelines aligned with love, abundance and joy. From this place, we are able to assist others in their journey of self-realization on the Earth plane by describing the probabiliies that serve the highest good. But it is with an open heart we must accept that some of our clients, many in fact, are choosing to do the work outside the illusion entirely, knowing on some level, that their path to love lies outside of time/space. The question is: how to best serve these souls?

Traveling in consciousness is possible when we awaken to the fact that time and space restrictions are part of the illusion. All-that-is exists in an eternal moment that our conscious minds experience in segments of “time” for learning purposes. While our physical bodies exist in space coordinates, our consciousness is limitless, expansive and all-inclusive. We are able to step outside time and space by briefly withdrawing our focus from the time/space continuum.

When we travel in consciousness, our journeys take place over what seems like long periods of time in our internal world. These internal journeys actually happen in a space of time as brief as the blink of an eye in our external world. It is by traveling in consciousness that we can navigate the menu of life potentials and energize the ones most closely aligned with our highest visions.

Potential futures exist side by side as alternate timelines. A person who knows how to navigate inner time is able to perceive these alternate timelines. We work with potential futures in three realms at once. We live inside the fruits of the past currently manifesting as our present moment. We live in the near future we are envisioning and seeding now. We live in the distant future where potentials we are now seeding are manifesting and coming to full flower. Inside our present moment, we are influenced by the moments we have lived through time, past seeds currently manifesting and the future potentials we are energizing now.

We are able, through intention, imagination and conscious awareness, to seed potential futures which we observe and nurture over time. While we will not necessarily choose to manifest or bring all these potentials into physical reality we are able to perceive them as they extend into future time, and choose the highest and best from among them. But what of the potentials that exist out of time? What if there ws not enough energy generated in the past to nurture these potentials aven if the ARE the paths of the highest good. If we are indeed ending cycles of karma and illusion isn't it possible to still choose these, and seed them? If the soul's will is in alignment, even as the personality and ego is not, as we move into the higher planes, where is the healer's point of reference? Does it remain in 3-D with the fractured personality or do we take a leap of faith and heal now, the eternal being first?

As third dimensional beings on the Earth plane we are free to choose among the potential futures we set into motion in the past. As we observe the potentials we set into motion, we are able to learn, our insights and observations help provide us with valuable feedback we are able to use in choosing the timelines we wish to experience in the future. We continue to observe and learn from our “roads not taken” but this doesn’t mean we feed them with sufficient life-force energy for them to manifest. Within every moment we choose the potentials that hold the greatest learning and growth opportunities – those most compatible with our current intentions. At any given time we are free to join one of these “inner realities in progress” and shift to the timeline where that potential is manifesting as our reality.

But what if a client cannot choose? What if the personality has literally frozen in time, and is simply waiting for time to run out? In light of the tremendous new energies available to healers because of the Earths current position in the Photon Belt it is possible to bypass the physical challenge, mental confusion, emotional baggage and heal the soul. But what about free will? How does one honor the client's desire to learn thru illness, depression or despair... in the third dimension?

For example, if we have a physical challenge we’re working with, we can seed potential healing options and in time choose the possible future where the best healing solution exists... and it might not be one currently anchored in 3-D. In today's shift from time/space to space/time this is particularly useful because the best course of healing is not necessarily revealed to us as we seed various physical options... our DNA is changing... but the soul is eternal.

This approach is also helpful if we intend to write a novel, work with new art forms, or bring other new realities into being. We are able to plant seeds that create multi dimensional fields of potential for our desired creations and we are able to energize future timelines most aligned with our desired creations... whether or not the physical, mental, or emotional state(s) of the client are presently aligned.

When we learn to journey in consciousness (or journey in service to another), new universes of possibilities are born within us all. We’re always free to choose if we will manifest replicas of past realities or if we will shift to become explorers of new realities in consciousness that offer new potentials and alternate futures no matter our current state of being in the illusionary world. I believe it is possible to take a quantum leap out of the confusion. One simply needs another to point to the possibility and nurture that seed.

As we work with new potentials, we will find ourselves unexpectedly at times entering the space between realities where we glimpse infinity, beyond "my will" to the collective "thy will" where creation creates from pure love, free from the judgements that hold our egos firmly in the third dimension. These glimpses remove us from physical reality for brief seconds, yet in the life of the soul, they are eternal and hold the power to shift our understanding in profound ways at all levels in all-time regardless of what we consider to be past, present, and future... the karma earned, the dipensation of grace gifted, or the perfection that never required or experienced either.

As healers, I think it is time to focus only on the perfect being within. I know that is my own practice, as I have made the decision to stop focussing on the leftover 3-D messes that need to be cleaned up and instead embrace the perfection of each and every being I work with, the miracles come with greater frequency. It's no longer about "healing" anyone to the point of waking them up. It's about agreeing that they already have, albeit not in time /space. So what?

Why make that illusion the point of reference for what IS? Silly, isn't it!

May you be blessed.

The 2012 Dimensional Shift: Be of a Light Heart and Good Cheer!

My Dear Friends, 

I recently came across this beautifully articulated piece of writing and it resonates quite accurately with most of the information as I chanelled it while working at the Dolphin Whurla sites of Bimini in 2005. As many of you know, I have been teaching my students how to navigate the dimensional shifts since that time. I share this particular piece of writing because it is very "easy to digest" and my prayer is that this article may serve as an awakening point for many with only a very basic understanding of the truth of these miraculous times. 

Please feel free to share with your friends and family.
In love and peace,
Susan

What Do You Mean the Third Dimension is Going Away? 
by Jim Self

As 2012 approaches there is an increasing urgency to this message because we’re all, literally, running out of time to play in the third dimension.

In simple terms, the habit of thinking and feeling and behaving that we know of as the third dimension is going away. Everyone is shifting into a fourth dimensional consciousness and experience, and then into a fifth dimensional consciousness and experience.

However, most people on the planet are not prepared for this Shift. But it is happening nonetheless, and for those who are unaware of what’s going on it will not be an easy or comfortable experience.
Yet this can be a wonderful, enjoyable time as well. With some basic information about what the Shift is, and what “dimensions” are, and with simple tools to help manage our thoughts and feelings, everyone has the ability to evolve their consciousness and move gracefully and joyfully into these higher vibrational realms.

If you don’t know what dimensions are, you are not alone. Most people playing the game of life as we know it in the third dimension are playing without a “rule book” that would explain what the game really is and how one can play it successfully.

This article provides these basic, missing rules. It explains what the third, fourth, and fifth dimensions are, and why they are the most important consideration of your life right now.

If you can understand the structure and play of these dimensions, you can begin to move fluidly through the unprecedented changes of this Shift without fear, without effort, without the tension and anxiety that is, for the most part, the daily habit of our lives.

So, first of all, let me define what dimensions are not.

Dimensions are not places or locations, and they are not a linear progression - 3, 4, 5, 6 - stacked up like pancakes. And the 3rd dimension, or the 4th dimension, is not the chair you’re sitting in, or the walls that surround you, or even the Earth itself. That is form, which exists predominantly in the 3rd and 4th dimensions, and which will still be very much part of the play in the 4th dimension when the 3rd dimension is no longer an option.

In general, dimensions are states of consciousness available to anyone who vibrates in resonance with the specific frequencies and opportunities available within each dimension.

In a way, you could think of each dimension as a different game with a different set of rules as to what is possible and not possible for the beings that choose to play and create there.

So what is the 3rd Dimension?

The third dimension (3D) is a box of rigid beliefs, more or less, with a relatively inflexible set of rules and limitations. Most of us have been playing this game for lifetimes, so we tend to think it is the only game available to us. But nothing could be further from the truth. One of the rigid 3D beliefs that structure our lives – our thinking and feeling and actions - is linear time.

Linear time is an optional belief and structure that let’s us “live” an experience of past and a future... and then we die. Because this belief is the default assumption of mass 3D consciousness, and events seem to validate the belief, most of us think and act as if it’s true.

But now we are all waking up from the illusion of this ubiquitous belief. And as you become more conscious, you realize that time in 3D is actually a time loop. What you experience in “the past” is pretty much what you put your attention on now, and you project that reality into “the future,” and therefore you experience it over and over again.

So the structure of time is quite specific (and limiting) in the 3rd dimension, but your experience of time is quite different (and empowering) as you move into higher dimensions.

Everything in a 3D consciousness is also very conditional. The concept of, for example, ‘unconditional love,’ does not exist in the 3rd dimension. If you experience ‘unconditional love’ or ‘unconditional peace’ you have actually moved into a fourth dimensional (4D) consciousness.

You see, in the earth experience now, we have access to both 3rd and 4th dimensional consciousness, but most of us rarely step out of the well-grooved habits of 3D thinking and feeling.

The 3rd dimension also offers no possibility of choice. We don’t choose our thoughts, feelings, and actions in every moment (that’s a skill of 4D and 5D), instead we react from unconscious beliefs and training to the people and situations that pop up in our space.

Duality provides another rigid structure for 3D experience. Up/down. Left/right. Should/shouldn’t. Since the fall of Atlantis 12,500 years ago, we have become very fearful as a way of life, and in that fear we have learned to narrowly define good and bad, right and wrong, etc. Unconscious judgment permeates 3D thinking.

Moreover, we perceive our 3D experience predominantly with the left hemisphere of the brain, home of the rational mind, and so we use only about 5 to 10 percent of the brain’s capacity to play the 3D game. Most of us suspect the rest of our brain must do something but have no idea what it actually does and how it functions.

In fact, what the rest of the brain enables us to do is function in the higher 4th and 5th dimensions, and beyond.

We already have the potential, all the necessary equipment and wiring, right now, to be fully conscious in all these dimensions. But our habits of thinking and feeling, grooved over many lifetimes, dumbs= us down and limit us to 3D experience. Our left-brain, rational mind only knows what it knows, and doesn’t know what it doesn’t know, and it works tirelessly to keep us within a thin range of objective 3D thinking and possibilities. And we, for the most part, have gone along for the ride. But no longer.
The increasing light energies and frequencies of the Shift are rewiring our brains to allow us access to a much wider range of information and possibility than is available in the 3rd dimension. These light energies are preparing us for 4D and 5D experience, even as they are clearing the rigid 3D “rules” from our consciousness.

So what is the 4th Dimension?

The “rules” of 4th dimensional consciousness provide an enhanced sense of ease, possibility, and capability than the structures of the 3rd dimension.

Time in 4D, for example, is always present time. The focus is only ever this moment, what is happening right now. Our bodies already know only this present time; they can’t know ‘yesterday’ or ‘tomorrow,’ and as conscious beings in our natural alignment in the higher 4th dimension, we function absolutely in this “Now” of present time awareness and attention. When our attention point becomes present time awareness, choice becomes possible again. We can observe any and all events with a sense of detachment, merely as information to consider, and from that still, uncluttered platform we are then, and only then, free to choose our response. In the higher 4th dimension we become response-able.

A concept and possibility known as paradox also becomes available in the present time of 4D consciousness. Paradox simply means that what was true just a moment ago may not be true right now. And what was false a moment ago may no longer be false. Instead of applying rigid, pre-existing definitions to any experience, we choose our preferred version and vibration in every moment.

So as we move into 4D consciousness in present time, with the power of choice and response-ability, and the flexibility of paradox, the ability to alter the game to enhance our happiness and wellbeing becomes available.
 
Interestingly, 4D consciousness will not be a long-term option after the Shift clears away the rigid structures of 3D consciousness.

The 4th dimension is serving as an essential, but short-lived, stepping stone or vibrational platform from which we will all move into 5th dimensional consciousness. 5D is the target for Earth and all her inhabitants. The archangels have said the entire consciousness of Earth will be a fifth dimensional consciousness by the year 2015.

But although the 5th dimension is the target, the experience of the 4th dimension is essential. We cannot enter 5D directly from 4D. All mental and emotional baggage from the 3rd dimension must be left at the door to the 4th dimension, and we can only enter the 5th dimension after we have become masterful of our thoughts and feelings in the 4th dimension.
Some assembly is required.

So what is the 5th Dimension?

The 5th dimension operates, to a great extent, in a completely differently fashion from the 3rd and 4th dimensions.

Time in 5D is instantaneous time, meaning that everything (all possibilities) occurs in the same place at the same moment. In 5D, you focus your attention and the answer or experience is given to you exactly when and where you focus.
Ask and you shall receive.

In 5D, you don’t have to move or go anywhere for your answers or experiences; everything comes to you easily and effortlessly based upon the attention point and vibration you choose to hold in every moment.

When you are vibrating in 5D consciousness, you don’t create with form as you do in the 3rd and 4th dimensions, you create with light and light patterns and light frequencies. You apply sound and color and geometric shapes. You consciously interact with the Creator and all the Beings of Light.
In this heightened consciousness, the rational mind plays a very minimal role. It returns to a small, specific focus it was intended to have, namely the wellbeing of the physical body.

But before we can move into our vibrational home that is 5D consciousness, we must first become masterful of the vibrations and possibilities of 4D consciousness. This is the focus of the Shift for most people as we head into the ever-accelerating events of 2012.

So how do you become masterful in 4D consciousness?

The Tools of 4D Present Time

As I mentioned, 4D is the 'right now' of 'present time.' But present time actually has four different levels.

In 2010, we all stepped into the third level. As we move 2012, we will step into the fourth, and final, level. In that level, when you think, ‘I would like an apple,’ the apple is going to appear in your hand. Usually when I say that people get very excited. And it is exciting. However … there is a however.
The vast majority of people on this planet are not prepared to be the masters of their every thought, feeling, and action in every moment. But there’s no option. It’s a required, baseline skill of higher 4D and 5D consciousness.

One of the reasons the 3rd dimension was created was to provide a “playground” in which we each can practice and hone the vibration of our thoughts and feelings. To accomplish this, the 3D playground has a time buffer. Instead of ‘instant manifestation’ there is a time lag between the thought we think and the manifestation or experience of that thought. For the most part, we are very sloppy with this buffer.

Instead of focusing on what we want, and allowing this to unfold over time, we spew anger, frustration, boredom, worry, anxiety, blame, guilt, fear - all kinds of lower, disharmonic thoughts and feelings. We behave as if we can think and feel anything with impunity because we do not see the instantaneous results of our thinking.

But no longer. As 3D linear time is collapsing into a single point of present time, the time buffer is collapsing too. We have less opportunity to practice being aware of our mental and emotional habits before what we think is what we get. This is a very big deal.

Fortunately, some simple energy tools can help you manage your thoughts and emotions in every moment so that you can be prepared for the unprecedented opportunity and challenge of living and creating in present time in the higher dimensions.

These basic energy tools are available for free on our website www.masteringalchemy .com but let me explain a few of them here by way of example.

Allow the Shift to clear your unconscious thoughts & feelings.

In simple terms, the Shift is using one wave of light frequencies to clear away who we are not, and another wave to remind us who we are. The Shift knows where we’ve stored unwanted, unconscious habits of thought and reactionary emotion, and the light is clearing all this from our vibration.

However, as these lesser thoughts and feelings are cleared, they will come into our awareness, and magnetize people and circumstances to us that mirror these chaotic energies. How do you handle these often-powerful energies when they appear. You allow them. If you can simply observe them with a sense of detachment as they come up – knowing that they are just coming up to be cleared - they will clear quickly, and you won’t even remember what the fuss was all about.

But if you grab hold and engage these chaotic thoughts and feelings, if you insist on feeling guilty or worrying, if you continue to argue that ‘I am not OK’ or ‘They are not OK,’ these energies will not be cleared from your space – and the Shift, as it accelerates ever faster, will become a very bumpy, very ‘not OK’ road for you.

Remember most often what comes up is not even yours; it does not belong to you. Acknowledge it and know that it’s coming up to be cleared… forever. Take a couple of deep breaths, go for a walk, listen to music -- but turn your attention point to something of a higher vibration.
 
Understanding the Lower and Higher 4th Dimension

To simplify another important aspect of the Shift, let’s imagine that the 4th dimension has just two parts to it – a lower 4th dimension and a higher 4th dimension. (This is not technically true, but it’s a useful distinction.)

As I mentioned, form will remain when 3D disappears. We’ll still experience houses and cars and trees. But fear, judgments, blame and guilt, the rights and the wrongs, will disappear. All this dense emotional energy, which is the only thing that prevents us from playing in the higher dimensions right now, will simply be cleared from our space.

However, depending upon the vibration of the thoughts you are thinking as 3D disappears, you will find yourself in either the lower 4th dimension or the higher 4th dimension.

The lower 4th dimension, which is also called the astral plane or dream space, holds all the thoughts ever thought by anyone in the 3rd dimension.

You see, thoughts don’t just disappear after we think them. They live on in the lower 4th dimension, with specific weight, texture, density and emotional charge. And they bond and cluster with all the other thoughts of similar character.

Some thoughts – such as rape, domination, slavery, war, hatred – feel heavy, dense and dark. Conversely, thoughts such as ‘butterflies,’ ‘children playing in the park,’ and ‘flowers blooming on a warm spring day’ feel light and have a simple, airy vibration. Lighter thoughts like these rarely linger in a 3D consciousness. Because in order to align and feel the vibration of, for example, ‘beauty,’ we must step out of 3D consciousness into present time, a higher 4th dimensional space.

Wait, you say, I know ‘Beauty!’ You do, because we’re now living in both the third and fourth dimensions simultaneously, but how often do you align yourself with, and linger on, the feeling of beauty?

It’s a 4D, present-time skill to take thoughts like ‘light,’ ‘airy’ and ‘beauty’ to heart. These vibrations don’t even exist in the hurry up, past/future of the 3rd dimension where it’s very difficult to pause in present time and smell a flower.

But, on the other hand, have you noticed that heavy, uncomfortable thoughts such as ‘I’m not good enough.’ or ‘They don’t like me.’ or ’I’m never going to succeed.’ tend to linger quite a bit longer in 3D consciousness? This is because thoughts are electric and emotions are magnetic. A set of light, airy vibrations like ‘beauty’ or ‘graciousness’ has a low, soft, electrical charge that is expansive and fluid. Whereas heavier, uglier thoughts come highly charged and wrapped in highly magnetic emotions. These thoughts are not only harder to clear than kind, loving thoughts; they also bond magnetically to all other thoughts like them in the lower 4th dimension.

So much of the magnetic field we walk around in - I’m not OK, You’re not OK - has very little to do with who we really are. It’s just the magnetism of one heavy, unconscious thought attaching itself to the magnetism of similar heavy, unconscious thoughts.

You begin to see why it’s vital to become conscious of the thoughts you think and the emotions you throw into your vibrational mix.

Fortunately, the second wave of the Shift is making this easier and easier. As we let go of the heavier energies of Who We Are Not, the light is rewiring us, stepping us up into a higher 4th dimensional vibration where lesser thoughts and emotions are not such a distraction in our general experience.
We start to live in alignment with the heart, and experience the vibrations and consequences of concepts such as ‘I like me,’ ‘I’m happy,’ ‘I’m pleased with myself.’

The alignment with the heart becomes natural because it already is our natural alignment in the higher fourth, fifth and sixth dimensions.

However, some assembly is required.

Any limitations, judgments, denials, blame, guilt, or resentments that we each still argue for, in one way or the other, become like weights on a hot air balloon. They limit how far we can rise within the fourth dimensional range of vibration.

Each of us is 100 percent in charge of the process. The more weight - lower-vibrational patterns of words, thoughts, and emotions - we remove, the higher we rise into the expansive experience of the higher 4th dimension. Here, it is as if we look past the boundaries and limitations, which were always just a habit of observation in 3D. It’s a wider view, a calmer view, and a quieter view. In the upper 4th dimension, you can choose fear or worry, and drop into the lower 4th dimension… but you won’t.
As you begin to align with the heart, very naturally - ‘I Like Me’ - you’re going to find there’s no reason or compulsion to choose an uncomfortable attention point in the lower 4th dimension. It comes naturally and readily because it is the language and vibration of you’re natural well being - if you let it, and if you focus upon it.

It’s a choice.

As the shift accelerates and time collapses and everything is in the present moment, you could still choose your thoughts and feelings unconsciously, out of 3rd dimensional habit, and you would have the opportunity to live that discomfort immediately and fully in your experience.
Or you can choose your thought and emotion in every moment, with focus and awareness, and live the fullness of that experience.

In other words, it’s to your benefit to practice and integrate the ability to choose the contents of your consciousness right now, before it really counts - and that moment is not very far away.

It’s all up to you.

Until now, the center of your head, the place from where you can choose your thoughts and attention point, has been pre-occupied by the thoughts of others. Your Mom-Dad-Teacher-Minister loved you and had an opinion about the best way for you to live your life, and as their thoughts moved in to your head, “You” moved out.

Now it is time to take back ownership of the center of your head. As you recognize and let go of the unnatural thoughts that say, ‘Oh, I can’t do this’ and ‘I can’t do that’ and ‘I must do this,’ you’re going to find that soon all those thoughts, with their sticky interlocking connections in the lower 4th dimension, disappear.

Just putting your attention in present time on ‘beauty’ and ‘well-being‘, or just being ‘happy’ in a state of ‘ease‘, eliminates the lesser vibrations stored within the lower astral fields of the 4th dimension.
Start by playing with the vibration of what I call Living Words. The Archangels very deliberately and precisely selected these words - words such as Certain, Capable, Commanding, Present, Senior, Graciousness and Happy - so that you can most easily clear all the unconscious vibrations from your space.

Choose one word each day and live with it all day, think it and feel it often. If you practice thinking and feeling these vibrations now, when it doesn’t absolutely count, they will become your habit when it does count. You begin to gracefully realign with the fullness of “You,” and your natural state of wellbeing lifts you into the higher 4th dimension.

Easy? Kind of. Simple? Yes.
Does it require awareness and a choice from a present time space? Absolutely.
Can you sit on the sidelines and hope it all turns out? No.

Increased levels of electromagnetic light from the higher dimensions are now flowing within all of us. Many people in the 3rd dimension cannot handle this surge, and they are choosing to step out of their
bodies. And many, many more will follow as the Shift accelerates.

You see, everyone is going home to the 4th and then 5th dimensions, but not everyone is going home on the same timeline, and with the same ease and grace.

How do you choose?

Headline News

I've decided I am going to choose my own headlines from now on. 

Although I always wake up happy and excited to greet the day, by the time I have scanned the headlines of the morning news, read my emails, and returned a few telephone calls I realize I have  already become negatively affected by the sufferings of the day. Flooding. Fires. War. Recession. Lost Dogs. Sick Children. Insensitive Jerks. Arrogant Bullies.  With just a bit of exposure I can quickly feel tired and drained –  both physically, mentally, and emotionally – even after a good night's sleep. 

We all have a certain amount of chi, or life force energy, that is ours by nature of our karma, our spiritual practices and life habits including diet, exercise and environment. But that life force can get used up pretty quickly if we allow our emotional responses to dictate its stewardship. As an empath, when I get caught up in the drama and illusions of the world stage it is very easy for me to end up without the energy I need to work and play.

We all tend to see the world through the emotion we happen to be feeling. If you are exposed to the feelings of sad, or angry there is a good chance that the world will seem that way to you. Everyone has unhealed emotional wounds that open and weep when the world touches them. And this disease spreads when left untreated.

The cure? Forgiveness.

We really can heal all emotional wounds by forgiveness... of ourselves, our parents, family, friends, our systems and nations, and everyone who has wronged us. When you have forgiven you'll no longer have any emotional reaction to like-persons or to events which trigger the emotions that feed it. Forgive but don't forget, wisdom is learned only by experience.

But the moment anything happens in my life that is challenging to my balance, or generating an emotional response in which I am losing power, moving into fear, I pause and ask, “What did I do to create this opportunity to grow. What is the lesson here. What do I need"?

Knowing that fear is "my needs announced" usually, when I ask that question, the answer comes pretty quickly and easily.  I run down my fears, doubts, concerns... identify my victimization, my open wound, and recenter in forgiveness and gratitude for the lesson. This recharges me. Instantly.

I have learned that I am a co-creative force in the universe, and that when I get clear about what I actively create, I experience harmony and peace. It all comes down to perception. Am I looking at life from the viewpoint of empowerment or victimization? If I see myself as a victim of circumstances, I have decided that someone or something else has the power, and I am helpless.

When I stand in a space of confidence and assuredness, I see everything as an opportunity to learn and expand.

I am willing to take responsibility for my life and stop looking outside of myself for reassurance that everything will be all right. I absolutely knows that I am in charge of my experience, and therefore I can choose to be all right no matter what is happening around me.

I take a deep look at my beliefs around being powerless in the moment and I realize that is a lie. I can always choose to live from a place of deep peace and profound joy.

"I release anything that does not serve my higher good. I focus on what is working in my life. As I do, I draw even more good things into my life."

It's a choice. Spread the news.

May you be blessed!

Birthing World Change

Today, our brothers and sisters are in Cairo protesting the regime of President Hosni Mubarak who has ruled for nearly 30 years. Egypt has been in a state of emergency since 1967, which means its government has the power to censor its public, detain without reason, and violate constitutional rights. Massive unemployment, high food prices, and regime corruption have resulted in a revolution. And the size of the movement, its range throughout the country, and general, cross-religious and class support, seem to suggest that a dramatic change in the way Egypt is governed will be birthed as a result.

Massive unemployment, high food prices, and corruption are not unique to Egypt. Revolution is in the air we all breathe.

World change is on the minds and in the hearts of most of humanity. And never before have human beings been more interconnected. Communications technology has created a global community, where every person may become aware of the whole of humanity. We are all One, like never before in human history. Our interdependence and interconnectedness reveals itself even as world events appear to be spiraling into ever greater manifestations of negativity.

Many of us have who worked to bring change to the world with awakened consciousness, positive actions and intentions, compassion and service are more than frustrated by the apparent lack of effect of our good works. Manifestations of intolerance, judgement and oppression, exactly the opposite of the more peaceful, spiritual world that many of us are seeking to create, create extreme imbalances in humanity.

But, it is no longer possible for anyone to shut out the reality of the large human family of which we are all a part. You have anchored that truth. Philosophies and religions that attempt to make another group of people the enemy are now being exposed for the fear and suffering they perpetuate. You have brought the possibility of personal communion with the Divine into manifestation. And in our world where far too many lack basic resources for survival, and a relatively small number of people have an overabundance of resources, you have begun to play with the universal laws of abundance, love, and light to bring about balance.

Yes, our collective spiritual healing unfolds, and more and more are awakening to the knowledge that where one part of our human family suffers at the expense of another, everyone suffers. This is your truth. This awakening of consciousness, though not yet fully manifested, is birthing. Your child is coming. The lightworkers and wayshowers who have anchored the intention to bring in the change which has been prophesied across time in diverse cultures and religions must not tire yet. It's almost time to push.

Your expanded consciousness, awareness, and ability to hold the higher frequencies on the Earth plane have never been more important. Each one of us is essential part of the evolution of humanity's consciousness. Breathe.

There is far more happening in Cairo today than meets the eye. Our multi-dimensional universal family gathers close to support mankind. The veils between worlds are very thin. With just a tiny shift in our frequencies we will all tune into their broadcasts, gather the knowledge of those who see us from the higher planes, and use that knowledge as power to affect world change. As lightworkers we must open to that wisdom and set our daily intentions and actions to impact on the world around us for the highest good. Breathe.

Reform. Re-form. The potential for real change is here, now.  Over the past decades we have worked for it, prayed for it. Massive meltdowns are underway, and it is important to stay in your center, grounded in compassion and joyfully in service as the process unfolds. Please do not be frustrated by the manifestations of intolerance, judgement and oppression. Breathe.

The peaceful, spiritual world that you seek to create is birthing. These are the labor pains. Breathe through them.

May you be blessed!

That was then, this is now! Understanding multidimensional and chronological healing

Sometimes, in a deep healing, there is a slip in dimensions or the sense of overlapping of lifetimes. On the continuum of lifetimes that we have experienced so far, the one we are in is pivotal for many of us, because although we still experience time, if we expand our consciousness just a tiny bit, many of us are now able to "see" physical lifetimes that are happening simultaneously. And, I believe that most of us will be able to experience multiple realities very soon, and pick and choose experiences from the vantage point of the choosing for greater good.

OK, stay with me here. Everything is connected and interconnected. In this lifetime we are awakening to being able to tap into this greater awareness of beyond time and space in a collective consciousness that is allowing us to become aware of other dimensions of our own beingness. This extaordinary ablity will become more apparent in the next few years. But many who have been on the spiritual path are beginning to accept this as "normal."

Many of my students have discovered their own memories of the last Great Shift about 13,000 years ago in meditation, through healing, and in dreaming. These memories often include a profound upheaval and loss of life on Earth near the time of the shift. Electro-magnetic changes within the Earth were accompanied by physical Earth changes, including the physical re-location of the North and South Poles. Within this same emotional memory is the destruction of the continent we know as Atlantis, the loss of life by most of the inhabitants of that continent, and the survivors fleeing to other lands and seeding new civilizations around the world. Our errors have played them selves out in countless incarnations since, seeking balance, restitution, and healing.

So why the slip in dimensions? Because when we address and heal fear (or any emotion) that is within our current incarnation that same emotion receives a healing within its own time frame. It is similar to a chain of dominoes. When you remove one domino from the chain then the movement stops and all the remaining dominoes cease to fall down. When you replace that one domino, the motion that was begun at one end of the chain continues. In this same fashion the changes you make within this lifetime naturally affect all the other lifetimes of your soul. It is very difficult to  consciously heal energies from other lifetimes within this lifetime. You need only heal those issues that your soul is presenting to you now to address... and these are often unresolved and un-integrated experiences from past lives.

In my experience, I have found that most of these wounds express themselves as distortions in the lower three chakras of the body. The wounds in the first and second chakras are particularly evident as we move into 2011 and  prepare for the year  2012. These chakras imprint basic instincts of survival and the associated fear of not existing tomorrow.

The primary issue facing us today is actually based in the first chakra. Survival. Humanity faces great danger as it begins to acknowledge a world in decline—a world whose environments have been degraded, a world whose climate has been affected, a world whose life-sustaining resources are being depleted and ruined by ignorance and greed. Will our human race survive or destroy itself in the years to come? Will we make the transition into an  awareness that honors the strength of our shared collective consciousness, or will we perish trying to escape the cycle of change by creating more and better artificial structures that will ultimately collapse upon us? Yes, scary stuff.

And, as long as what is done is good for one person (or one group)  but is not useful for others, we are scrambling upon the shoulders of another human as we try to escape to save ourselves. In this scenario, many of us will make the transition into the Aquarian Age without our physical bodies. And it is this that we are most fearful of repeating, that selfishness and seperateness we call "survival of the fittest" which has happened in earlier shifts and has simply created more karma and more work for the soul upon reincarnating back into the physical (or near physical) dimensions. 

So now, we have entered the energetic pattern of another Great Shift remembering the fear and chaos that accompanied the last Great Shift in our shared collective consciousness. Our human instinct is to somehow control the Earth so that she will not upend us as before.

But that was then, and I intuit that this Great Shift will be very different. Although our bodies and our collective consciousness are experiencing the same vibrations of change as 13,000 years ago, this Great Shift is also a shift back into a stronger connection to Spirit. 

The previous Great Shift was a movement away from the collective voice of Spirit into a time of exploring our free will.  And because we are aware of much of our own history in the past 13,000 years, we will be able to bring that knowledge forward with us into this shift. Bringing our knowledge with us as living human beings into the vibration of the Aquarian Age will allow us to recall our experiences and lessons learned while in this state of seperateness to be shared with all conscious beings in all dimensions. Thus we will emerge as teachers, as avatars, in the New Earth. We will be conscious contributers to the community of intelligent life in the Universe.

Many of my students, in fact many people on Earth,  are experiencing both a remembrance of the fear they experienced during the last Great Shift as well as an anticipation of the blessings that will come with our awakening to the gifts of Spirit. These two great currents of emotion are moving through our personal lives as well as our human society. So yes,  fear is  reawakening within our lower chakras. But so are compassion, inner knowing, and a profound connection to all Creation reawakening as well.

My suggestion for dealing with the reawakening of these fear patterns  has always been this: Begin by acknowledging your fear and do not dismiss it. Turn and face it. Ask the fear if it is yours. Is it all yours?  Where do you feel it in your body? What is it's energetic signature? What is the first word of phrase the pops into your mind? Is it in current time? Is the time period that it believes to be its own time period this present moment? Allow it to move to wherever in "the time line" it belongs.

You see, a pattern of thoughts or emotions cannot be changed when it is out of sync with its surroundings. A pattern can only change when it is in its own "now" and connected to whatever or whomever it is meant to be working with and connected to. That is the basis of chronological healing.

Too often we sense patterns of deep emotion that were part of our soul's previous lifetimes, and we believe that we can fix, change or heal them by taking them into this life and replaying them with our minds. We re-imagine and recreate experiences to learn from them, and heal them. But we cannot heal them by projecting them onto someone else, in the present time. That just leads us to more frustration, indignation, and anger.

This is the great temptation of humanity: for people to exercise their grievances against one another, to exercise their ancient animosities, to compete and enter into conflict with others. The energies of the emotions we experience in each lifetime can only be changed within the context of that particular lifetime. We must therefore release the emotional energies to return to their own time period. This is the function of the heart, not the mind. We can't think the solutions into being. This is the great parodox of our coming of age in the information age, in the midst of all of our technology.

Yes, we can change our minds, and change the way we think about things, but we also must release the emotions associated with our outdated beliefs. And our minds are simply not equipped for this task. This is the task of the fully illuminated, or etheric, heart.

As we move into and through the present shift we need not re-experience all of the fear and grief from the last great Sshift. We need only address the fear that is naturally arising for us as humans in this time period. What portion of fear is really yours in this lifetime? What  belongs to your body and your soul? Allow those that are not in tune with your body or your soul in this present moment to go to their own time frame or lifetime. In order for them to evolve, grow and heal, they must be in place to receive the changes that are coming their way. Heal what is yours to heal now.

I look forward to opening my heart as a channel for spiritual guidance and healing in your life.

May you be blessed!

Chinese Finger Traps as Spiritual Teachers

Recently I won a Chinese Finger Trap (remember those?) at an Autumn Fair. In fact, it was the prize given for coming in last place, for failure. I humbly accepted my booby-prize, and decided I would just give it away to the first child that crossed my path, someone who would have at least some appreciation for the silly thing.

But, I played with it as I walked through the crowds and  I had an ah-ha moment. I realized that this simple toy was a profound metaphor for the energy needed to move past fear (and failure) in our lives... and that I could use it in my practice as a wonderful teaching tool. So thank you carnival-guy for giving me the squirtgun with the blocked nozzle, you know the one, the blue one, number thirteen next to the scary, chipped, clown face.

By the way, I didn't even have fun playing your stupid game. I didn't care if I won or lost. I just wanted to get out of there, I wasn't even trying to win. I have a bit of a clown phobia, you know.

"Where there is fear, there is no love. Fear is the opposite of love. What we fear, we attract. Love is letting go of fear." Blah, blah, blah, I've said it and read it one million times. If it were so simple we'd all be leaping for joy with reckless abandon head on to the embrace of the challenges, and clowns, in our lives.

Instead we run away from and deny and avoid that which actually terrifies us, or at least makes us uncomfortable.

Denying our fear is like trying to pull our fingers free from the Chinese finger traps.  The more we pull, the tighter they grip our fingers.

The only way to release it is to move toward it, go deeper into it. Then it's able to release. It is the same with fear.

Let's revisit the old addage, "Fear is the opposite of love."

Although love and fear certainly can co-exist side by side within an individual and be experienced simultaneously, just as darkness and light co-exist side by side within all of us, I believe that love and fear cannot co-exist in the same energy space of an individual's emotional body. If we want loving light in that space, we're going to have to get it in there ourselves. We must get into that dark space and bathe it from within with the loving light called self-acceptance, until the fear is all eroded away.

That is the paradox of fear.  It negates love, yet will persist until it is loved. What?

The misconception that fear is the opposite of love seems to stem from the fact that fear excludes love.  But so do hatred, guilt, anger, shame, jealousy and envy.  Therefore, we need a more precise definition of what "opposite" means in reference to love vs. fear.


Where there is no loving light, there is darkness. In that darkness may reside the guilt of not being loving enough, or the fear of not being deserving and good enough.  However, darkness is only the absence of light, not its opposite.  Unloving light is more commonly known as hate.

Hate, not fear, is the opposite of love. Because, whereas fear and guilt signal the absence of love, hate is the opposite polarity of the exact same energy as love. Love and hate both have consciousness and intent - guided directionality - whereas fear is pretty mindless.  Love and hate have focus (something loved or hated), whereas fear may have focus but may also be experienced as unfocused general anxiety, as in "I don't know why I'm afraid... of clowns."

Fear and anger (or terror and rage) are opposite polarities of the exact same energy.  They are two sides of the same coin. Where one resides, you can bet the other one does too.  Although they rarely surface at the same time.

Fear and anger are the same energy. They serve the same purpose, although from opposite points of view. One of their functions is to assign blame. Anger is the emotion which places the blame with another. " You gave me the squirtgun with the blocked nozzle, you made me stand next to the scary, chipped, clown face.  It's your fault I came in last place"

"By the way, I didn't even have fun playing your stupid game."
Fear, however, is the emotion which places the blame with oneself, and that may not be as obvious. But ask yourself why you feel fear of certain things. We feel fear because we are afraid something painful or unpleasant will happen to us. And the reason we expect a hurtful experience is because we consciously or subconsciously believe we are at fault – inadequate, incompetent, awkward, clumsy, laughable, shameful, blameworthy, deserving of punishment, and the list goes on.

If I hadn't angled my body away from the clown I might have had straighter aim.... 

What We Fear, We Attract!

The Universe has created this phenomenon to help us face and overcome our painful emotions, not to get us to try harder to avoid them. It is a well-known concept that painful emotions contribute to physical unhealth. It has been scientifically confirmed that painful emotions such as fear suppress the immune system and lower the pH of the body, both of which contribute to increased risk of physical illness.

Healing truly requires only the state of "no resistance and self acceptance."

So, let's look at three paths to deal with fear:

• By far the most common way to handle fear is that we don't know how, so we do the only thing we can:  We feel our fear while disapproving of ourselves for being afraid.  In other words, the fear is experienced in a state of non-acceptance.  No healing takes place and similar situations continue to come up time and again, evoking the same fear response.
• Some mentally or psychically powerful individuals can keep from feeling spontaneous fear by convincing themselves - their conscious minds - that they are not afraid.  This can be a temporarily successful path for a certain category of individuals. Painful emotions are relegated to the subconscious without being healed.  As the subconscious' accumulation of unhealed painful emotions grows, the subconscious mind eventually gains more power than the conscious mind's ability to control it, and the "inner demons" begin to seep out.
• The third way is to experience spontaneous fear in a state of self acceptance.  Due to varying degrees of childhood conditioning from shame, ridicule, guilt and blame, this path may take a while to master.  Any degree of self acceptance we can muster makes a difference.  The higher the degree of self acceptance, the faster and easier the healing. The fear is permanently healed and released.  We will no longer attract what we used to fear because we no longer fear it.

When we have self acceptance for ourselves while experiencing any kind of fear we don't hold onto it.  When the fear is ready to let go, we let it go. And then that space within can be filled with the energy of love and self acceptance, the energy of release. The straight shot to success. The giant stuffed Panda.

Bring in the clowns!
May you be blessed!

Wandering on the Reiki path, a Master's musings..

I became a traditional Usui Reiki Master in 1997, after several years apprenticeship and a $10,000  tuition paid in full.  Back then, it was a sacred calling which demanded dedication, sacrifice and service. In the past decades there have been many new systems taught by Reiki master/teachers, some are versions of Reiki, and others are not. I have worked with, and experienced many of these. I have also been attuned as "Master" in some of these systems for as little an hour's worth of dedication and a payment of $39.95. I even got a manual and the certificate to prove it should I want to hang it on my wall and make a living as a healer.... yikes!  Although the heart of Reiki is easy to understand, and it can be acquired using very simple methods, I'm not sure that you can actually master it or anything else in life in an hour, but I thought I'd experiment...

And so for many years I worked with and attuned students to the Traditional Usui Method, in the traditional manner of apprenticeship.

Over the years, I also have had dozens of clients ask me to evaluate their naturally called-on energy for which they prayed or spontaneously attuned to in a healing session, during their yoga practice, in meditation and through "dreaming" – all equally traditional methods!

I have found that usually these grace gifted-energies lack a grounding component and the healer needs to learn to incorporate 3-D practices to sustain the initial impulse which is spiritual. After a course of study in nutrition, exercise, self-love and gratitude,  I find these are very powerful gifts indeed. Sometimes the energy feels like Reiki,  but often it is a higher frequency. And its getting higher and higher!

These energies have always been around in small doses, usually without a name and usually employed only by those with a very high spiritual calling, the ancient shaman, the high priestess, or the reclusive poet in the garden surrounded by birds and butterflies, the chosen child mute and blind.

Which brings me to the reason for this blog post:

Each week I receive requests to attune online clients to Reiki. And although there are many Reiki Master teachers offering this service, I have chosen not to go this route. The reason is very simple. I would rather that my students/clients become their own Masters. Over time.  Of their own abilities. With spiritual practice and dedication to the path.

I am happy to offer services and products to help facilitate your practice, I am happy to teach metaphysics and consult, but I am no longer interested in being anyone's Master but my own.

Mikao Usui called in  "Reiki" energy after many years of spiritual training, while he was in the process of a 3 week spiritual fast on a well known mountain power spot.  During the years I ran a Holistic Youth Center I worked with young students (Indigo and Crystal children, many diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, Aspergers and mild Autism) who were able to duplicate the Reiki frequency once they experienced it (it's like people who can repeat music after hearing it once).  And in each case, these students have found their ability to do energy healing on themselves and others substantially increased after leaving behind the study of symbols and hand positions and dedicating themselves to the task of "climbing up to their own unique mountain power spot", that path that can only be discovered through dedication, sacrifice and service... and that in most cases that climb relieved the symptoms of their diagnoses. But that's another blog post all together (or is it?)!

Hmmmm...

I think in closing, it's enough to say that there are powerful healing and enlightening energies available now that can be acquired and accessed by you, just like Mikao Usui and others have accessed Reiki energy, and their unique personal gifts.  If you want them, you can have them.  Those very healing energies you need... they are available to you. And, if you want to Master them, you can do that too. And you won't even have to pay $39.95! You won't have a manual, but that's a good thing. Because everybody's instructions are different. Everybody's path is unique.

And you only get the directions one way: by listening for Spirit's whispers. It's time to get that straight.

I invite you to open yourself to access these higher forms of energy by inviting in your Higher Self, your Spirit Guides, or Angels and asking them bring in the energy that is right for you today, at your current level of understanding and evolution, for your dis-ease, for your well-being.  As these beings are pure love and light, they will act as gatekeepers for you, ensuring that only beneficial energy comes to you. Learn to work with this energy, play with it, create with it: cook, garden, paint, weave, touch! Grow, become, manifest something with it.

Then ask again. And again. Do it again, and again.
No, I won't be offering Reiki attunements online anytime soon.
Only love and support...
as you become your own Master.

May you be blessed!

Journey Beads, Dragon Lines, and Good Health

Dragon lines. That's what the ancient Chinese called the ley lines, the Earth’s magnetic grid, that is formed by intersecting "lines" of energy that run through and around our planet.  

 The ancients knew these pathways to be essential to the quality of health, and life. The lines of energy vary in intensity depending on the geo-physical makeup of any certain area. Together, mineral deposits, underground streams, and the gravitational force exerted in any given place create the energies.  Depending on the location, and the forces present, the areas along these lines will either support life or be detrimental to it.  

 Disharmonic energies in the earth or living space can cause emotional and physical imbalance. Modern geomancers still use ancient techniques to find auspicious areas for the purpose of erecting homes, healing centers and temples. I employed a Feng Shui Master to confirm my impressions as to how to choose the land and site the home I built and now live in. I dowsed with an apple branch to tune into the grid to locate an  underground source for my artesian well, 525 feet below ground.   

Like my home, sacred sites, ancient cities and energy vortex areas such as the Great Pyramid of Giza and Stonehenge were located on ley lines that generate tremendous transformational energy and serve as interdimensional portals. My home sits on a sacred site, which I intuited and was later evidenced by the many Amerindian artifacts we found during excavation and donated to the our natural history museum. But I was able to feel it, before I "knew" it. There is an amazing, beneficial energy here. Wildlife abounds. Guests immediately feel "something" when they come to visit.

I tell you this because ALL humans and animals are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields.  In fact, it has been discovered that certain tissues in our bodies contain magnetite crystals which respond to the vibrations of the earth’s magnetic field, and all magnetic fields, including those coming from animals, people, thoughts, and places.   

Birds have magnetite embedded around their eyes that helps them to stay on course during migration.  Fish have magnetite crystals along the sides of their bodies that signal them to swim in schools in a particular direction.  Humans have chains of magnetite crystals in brain tissue with high concentrations around the sinuses near the ophthalmic nerves which carry information to the brain. All of us can "make use of this knowing" if we simply tune in.

All living organisms generate their own electromagnetic fields, the health of which determines every metabolic function in our bodies including cell division, nutrient transport, and our physical and psychological responses to external stimuli.  Magnetic fields can also be deeply absorbed into the body, inducing electrical fields and currents inside living things that have a wide range of biological effects.

Because of the dramatic environmental changes caused by exposure to high power wires, microwave and radio waves, bombardments and blasts from televisions, computers, etc, we  must practice feeingl our awareness  to external and to our own personal energies to maintain our health and wellbeing. Journey Beads are a beautiful and effective tool to help balance you, through amplification of beneficial fields and the protection from the negative electromagnetic fields you are exposed to in your daily life

Teaching Reiki, Learning Lessons

A long story, short: A customer bought some oils from me. Then she copied the product listings from my website, posted the oils for sale on her website and proclaimed for herself the skill set I use to create my products. FYI, she has never been my student, she does not posess these particular skills as I know them. Some of my students do, and they have my blessings and my support – endless, infinite support.

Weeks later she purchased 12 imperfect Tachyon cubes on Bonanzle, seconds, and listed them along with my product text, word for word, except for the part about them being seconds. She copied my Tachyon FAQs page and imagined it was her own experiences that flavored her recommendations and insights, and advice.

OK, aside from this being a legal issue, a common sense issue, and an issue of decency, the larger issue is that she presents herself as a Reverend, a Healer, a Lightworker, a Master and a Teacher. She speaks to Spirit Guides, Ascended Masters, Angels, and Your Highest Divine Self. Even your Past Life Self. I assume her own present to her as well. And none of these entities said, "oh oh, bad idea."

I've contacted her, and offered to help her with her own descriptions if she needs such assistance, and acknowledged that she might be ignorant of the ways of ecommerce... and the mis-steps on the learning curve are certainly understandable, forgivable and easily rectified. I've thanked her for her edits in advance. Except I've had no response back. No edits last time I looked. The whole thing feels icky now. But, I was happy to work with her as she makes it right.

On the homepage of her site she quotes:

"Life is designed to be a school for the Soul. A journey where we live out each lesson we have pre-planned and chosen for ourselves.. How we chose to travel through these experiences is up to us; for we are the creators of our own reality."

I'm good with that, but I got to wondering why I might pre-plan this experience.

Further down the page it says, "There are no coincidences in finding yourself here."

Duh. Is it Patience again? Compassion? Tolerance? Charity? Please, what aspect of Love has come to call?

Well, I couldn't address it further today, I was scheduled to teach a day-long workshop, Reiki I, at a Senior Center. Somehow (of course), these events managed to weave themselves into the fabric of the lesson just as we were reviewing the Usui precepts.

Just for today, do not worry. Just for today, do not anger. Honor your parents, teachers and elders. Earn your living honestly. Show gratitude to every living thing.

I acknowledged that I was not worried or angry, that I could honor the teaching (if I could just figure it out), that the earning of a living honestly had turned its facet to the light for us all to think about. (There was a brief discussion of the mortgage crisis, and Bernie Mader, and the crooks who installed the new carpet at the center, but we moved along pretty well.)

I expressed that I was indeed grateful for the peace and sense of detachment that replaced what might have been and emotionally charged experience had I not practiced Reiki, meditation and yoga.

"That's what Reiki does," I said, " it balances emotions, will, spirit, and keeps your body from recoiling and reacting in boils, ulcers and muscle spasms."

Laughter.

As we continued our practice into the afternoon, I was still open to the lesson. Skeptical Mimmi, at age 76, put her gnarled hands on my shoulders.

"You're carrying her here."

Who? What? Oh.

"No," I said, "I'm not."

"Then why would you burden yourself with rewriting her website?"

"I am trying to be kind," I said.

'Well, you should be really pissed off!"

I almost fell over. Mimmi, all 98 pounds of her in her oversize orange, appliqued fall leaves sweatshirt (another outreach program project for sure), shimmered like the great golden Goddess and rose three feet in stature as she pressed her words into my aura and body. I relaxed. My head fell forward. I gave it voice.

"I am pissed off, Mimmi."

She was silent for a good long minute. Then she took her hands off my shoulders and went over to the table and sat down. As she arranged her handouts into her folder, I heard her mummur to no one in particular, "Well, then, I guess this Reiki stuff really works."

May you be blessed!

A new day and a new place. Making the Law of Attraction work for you!

Yesterday, I had three back to back 90-minute sessions with clients who wished to manifest "stuff." Their manifesting was not going well, and they wondering what they were doing wrong.

"I've been working on the Law of Attraction, and The Secret, and the answers to MY PROBLEMS. And its not working for me." Once, twice, three times.

So, I got to thinking there must be something going on, some great cosmic alignment or stargate opening or something that magnetized these students to me all in the same moment. And, I got to thinking I should fine-tune my response in case there is a watershed. So thanx guys! Now I'm ready thanx to you!

OK, you are a magnet. You attract into your life whatever you think about. Your dominant thoughts will find a way to manifest. It cannot be otherwise. I've said all that before and so has everyone else. Once, twice, three times.

And yes, many of you are waking up to a blossoming "something" and are having a hard time getting back to sleep. That's good! It's great! And you want to get moving! I call it urgent ascsension symptoms, and you are seeking to clear the past to make room for the future. You are trying to get to the place where is no more burden to bear, karma to clear, people to forgive, or money to tithe to prove your readiness or worthiness. You've worked with your inner child, your past lives, your wounded healer, and your fall from grace and replayed angers and emotions and fears ad nauseum. And this is where your train has derailed...

Stop it! Do it once, let out a big breath of release and move on! Because as you do this over and over again, you diffuse your energy into the past and relive scenarios of dis-empowerment.

Manifestation and miracle-doing requires a new day and a new place. First, you must release the idea of the past, which is simply an illusion in the present. It has no substance unless you energize it. Release the imprints of your past and how it affected you, and claim the power that is yours, now.

Stop spending your time seeking to heal illusions. Do it once and know that it is done.

It is so simple. Really.

The same may be said of the future. Many of you have deep anxieties about what will happen, and so you feel comforted by predictions and time-lines that are offered to tell you what will happen and when. These too are illusions, for the divine plan only unfolds in the Now, in the present, as the point of power. The moment you start giving away power and energy to the future you lose the point of power in the Now moment. The present is still an illusion.

Again, it is so simple. Really.

The bottom line is that all that is "real" is Creative Energy, Love and this moment of Power. Everything else is an illusion that you are energizing, and I know that you think for some very good reason... in your own reality.

Reality is the keyword here. Yours is not mine. Reality is subjective. I find lace-up shoes constrictive, you find them supportive. What are they really?

In subjective reality there’s only one consciousness, and it’s yours. Consequently, there’s only one source of intentions in your universe — YOU. While you may observe lots of people, places and things in your reality, they all exist inside your consciousness.

Let me explain: This is how your dreams work, but you maybe you haven’t yet realized your waking reality is just another type of dream. It only seems solid because you believe it is and intend it to be.

Since none of the other characters you encounter are conscious in a way that’s separate from you, the only intentions are yours. You’re the only thinker in your universe. You’re the single consciousness in which this entire reality takes place. You have all the responsibility.

So, OK imagine you’re having a dream. In that dream what exactly are you? Are you the physical dream character you identify with? No, of course not, that’s just your dream avatar. You are the dreamer. The entire dream occurs within your consciousness. All dream characters are projections of your dream thoughts, including your avatar.

Physical reality works the same way. This is a denser universe than what you experience in your sleeping dreams, so changes occur a bit more gradually here. But this reality still conforms to your thoughts just like a sleeping dream. You are the dreamer in which all of this is taking place.

The idea that other people have intentions that block you is an illusion because other people are just projections. Of course, if you strongly believe other people have intentions, then that’s the dream you’ll create for yourself. But ultimately it’s still an illusion.

Since you’re the only intender, this is "blaming others, blaming the past, blaming the economy" is entirely an internal conflict — within you. You’re intending competition and chaos. Yes, you can give up control of your reality by thinking (intending) randomness and uncertainty, but you can never give up responsibility. Sorry.

Every thought is an intention, so however you think about the other beings in your reality is what you’ll eventually manifest for them. Keep in mind that beliefs are hierarchical, so if you have a high order belief that reality is random and unpredictable and out of your control, then that intention will trump other intentions of which you’re less certain. It’s your entire collection of thoughts that dictates how your reality manifests. Whatever you think about expands, and not just in the narrow space of your avatar but in all of physical reality. If your thoughts are conflicted, your reality is conflicted.

This is why assuming responsibility for your thoughts is so important. If you want to see peace in the world, then intend peace for EVERYTHING in your reality. If you want to see abundance in the world, then intend it for EVERYONE. If you want to enjoy loving relationships, then intend loving relationships for ALL. If you intend these only for your own avatar but not for others, then you’re intending conflict, division, and separation; consequently, that’s what you’ll experience.

This entire reality is your creation. So, feel good about that. Feel grateful for the diversity of your world. And then begin creating the reality you truly want by making decisions and holding intentions. Think about what you desire, and withdraw your thoughts from what you don’t want. The most natural, easiest way to do this is to pay attention to your emotions. Thinking about your desires feels good, and thinking about what you don’t want makes you feel bad. When you notice yourself feeling bad, you’ve caught yourself thinking about something you don’t want. Turn your focus back towards what you do want, and your emotional state will improve rapidly. As you do this repeatedly, you’ll begin to see your physical reality shift too, first in subtle ways and then in bigger leaps.

I, too, am just a manifestation of your consciousness. I play the role you expect me to play. If you expect me to be a helpful guide, I will be. If you expect me to be profound and insightful, I will be. If you expect me to be a new-age glitter fairy, or a deluded over-educated intellectual, I will be. But of course there’s no distinct me that is separate from you. I’m just one of your many creations. I am what you intend me to be.

I will close by saying, "Live in the Now, in the present moment." Let your attention be fully in the creative power of this moment. When you gather your creative power into the present and focus on the now, you have tremendous creative potential and you feel the deep peace and contentment of the Source energy.

"Past" and "future" are illusionary man-made concepts designed to facilitate life in the third dimensional linear reality, that is all. In the higher dimensions they are purely illusionary and have no meaning. Higher dimensional beings create continuously by dipping into the well of the Cosmos: Love and Intention. And, the point of creative energy or focus is always Now, the place of Intention or Attention.

You can make it work for you. Once, twice, three times, and more!

May you be blessed!
