Taking Time for Guidance

Although everything surrounding most people feels unstable without and within, something very interesting is actually happening in a positive way. To be able to understand the shift one must see , hear and feel the movement from the higher sense, the spiritual senses. Yes, we have our physical senses but there are more refined senses that the majority have forgotten or simply do not use as often as they could. To use these higher senses demands discernment but, it also demands trust. Trust is a quality that many have lost because life has become glum. If more people would take the time to simply sit quietly for 15 minutes each morning before they eat their breakfast or run out the door, it would set the tone for an entirely different day.

During the time alone with your spiritual senses, ask them to help you consciously sharpen your skills, intuitively listen to guidance, protect and accompany you in the rounds of the day. Get in the habit of asking the finer part of your makeup for directions that will benefit your growth. The more you take time to do this, the greater confidence you will feel as you struggle in your snail body. It is a snail body because your soul and spirit is used to being very much like the hawk circling over my car today. The higher aspects of your subtle forms are free when not imprisoned in a physical form. The hawk, eagle and all birds, have the benefits of both the earth and sky. They naturally enjoy both the snail body and the subtle angelic energy of being a bird.

Regardless of your busy schedule, make time for sitting quietly each morning asking for guidance so you, too, can fly and not be so overly burdened by the fact that you are in a prison like form. You see, the mind, the spirit can soar regardless of the form if you take the time to stop, remember, smile, trust and act. Simple...but people forget. It is also a very good idea to follow the same pattern before you go to bed. This is giving value to the energy of who you really are. It is honoring the subtle and higher aspects of Self. At the close of the day, offer gratitude and love to the guardian part of you for the companionship felt during the day. The more attention you give to the companionship, the greater the experience of a constant source of love and light.

Asking God to Share~

Have you ever thought of what to ask if you came across someone who could give you all the answers? Most people want to know about God and how can such an Indescribable Intelligence actually knows or cares what is going on on a small planet with people who haven't for the most part a clue as to why they are here and what they should do next. When we look at the whole picture happening in the world today it is easy to come to the conclusion that we live in a nut house. There are rumors upon rumors circulating about government programs, debt, losing individual rights and much more that if we don't guard our emotions, we may plummet to the depths. It is crazy, really crazy because life does not have to be this way at all. It would be so much different if people were not selfish or desired personal power. Influential people simply do not know how to handle power. This is one of the reasons why they constantly are in the news.

So what can be done about the obvious imbalances existing everywhere? We can develop our own character and stick with the program. There is no good reason that we should become emotionally involved with any of the distortions, lies and attempts for self-aggrandizement that are consuming the news and dampening the spirit. What is needed is a genuine effort toward simplicity, kindness and good neighborliness. You are probably thinking that the loss of jobs, homes and rights are stripping a good part of humanity to the bare minimum. In some ways this turbulent energy is forcing simplicity as a way of life. Overall, it can be good because most individuals begin to look at life from a different perspective. Love, kindness, caring, health, sharing and all the other positive qualities begin to emerge in the personality. More people begin to value friendship and authenticity in a much fuller way than held previously.

Maybe you don't appreciate my saying these things but they need to be said. There are so many people hurting on one level or another that humanity is being forced to break out of the shell of self absorption. What is meant by this is that we need to think and feel for one another. I have met thousands of people through the various outreach venues that I am involved with and growing numbers hurt big time. If it is not financial or relationships, it is health both physical and emotional. If it takes trials and tribulations to make a person think deeply about why they are on earth, then it is worth the discomfort, loss and the suffering although I do not believe in suffering as a means to achieve wholeness or mastery.

For an example. I have a history of giving unselfishly the many gifts of healing, counseling,creativity, friendship, time and a dauntless energy to other people. I never would think about their returning the favor. I was wrong. I was wrong because a value must be put on our energy, time and love. Actually, we may do someone a disservice if they are always in the position of receiving and not giving. To admit that I was in a precarious financial situation was one of the hardest thing I've ever done. For someone else, it may not have any emotional significance. But there are many people just like me on this planet with wonderful talents who give joyfully because that is their nature. So something is not in balance...correct? I never looked at money and service in this way before. It is also an energy to be shared and not to be hung onto.

Life is happiest when there is a free exchange whether that exchange is baking a cake, writing a letter of love, shopping for groceries for another or writing a check. Whatever works for the giver is good. I always felt that God would provide and I still look at abundance in that way. The God who provides is the God within others each doing his or her share regardless of form. I know I will be wealthy financially; it is my destiny. The abundance will match the wealth of my spirit, that is not an issue. I never gave much thought in the past that it is perfectly OK to ask the God in someone else to share with the God in me. Why not ask? We are all parts of the Whole.

Do You Feel Like a Tourist?

We feel like a tourist on this planet when we know with a certainty that something is actually true and others around us do not understand or refuse to take a good look at possibilities that are amazingly real. The look that is required is a look at themselves and the situations that they unthinkingly find themselves in. Now, in contrast there are people who consciously choose a certain set of circumstances because a higher calling is beckoning them, but they usually are in the minority. I am talking about people who do not wonder one iota why they are in a physical body and what the heck they are doing living in a world that appears to be collectively confused and unbalanced. These people are not interested in gaining understanding as to the true nature of life.

One type of tourist is wide awake or nearing a lucid Realization. The other type of tourist is lazy and simply doesn't care. The one is consciously awaking to spiritual identity and has a decent grip on what is going on around him; the other tourist buries his head in the sand and assumes everything that causes discomfort will simply go away by itself. It will not. Have you ever thought of approaching the dead end travels through stretching and reaching to a higher perspective than the habitual one? You can have every luxury imaginable but you are still functioning primarily from the subconscious memory when you are not interested in what path to take or make any attempt to take action. Bottom line... you are not living in the moment. This is true for the majority of souls on the planet. All their reactions are from the memory bank. It does take a good amount of effort to change patterns, think for your self, not mimic others and to dare and be something different from the programming that has controlled you all your life.

A tourist in this category is one visiting the planet who doesn't have the vaguest clue as to what direction to take. As a result, he wanders here and there and stops for some candy shopping. I like to describe seekers who are looking for satisfaction outside of themselves as candy shoppers. A certain flavor appeals for a brief time and then it is time to experiment with something new and hopefully satisfying. Well, this process does not really satisfy a seeker permanently so he keeps traveling and experimenting with new treats.

When you are ready to settle down in a place of beauty, magic, light and truth, you will discover an Inner Garden. This garden is filled with every imaginable specie and color. It is so amazing that you will not wish to leave it. Within this garden exist sweet nectar's to drink and fragrant ambrosia to eat, all directly from the unlimited fount of Radiant Light. Once you come upon this Inner Garden, you will not feel like a tourist anymore; you will feel as if you have reached your Home, a home of Sun lit moments, mystical visions and luminous friends...all real, caring, encouraging, loving and ready to help you.

Is There Such a Thing as Chance?

There is no such thing as luck or chance. Every individual determines what happens to him. The gamblers have a mindset, the con artists have a mind set, good people or people who you would consider as bad people all have their own peculiar mindset that attracts to them what they feel is right for them. This will sound odd at first but it is true. If you have a mind set that it is not quite clear for some reason in the area of receiving money for the loving and careful work that you offer, then you have created an imbalanced mindset in this particular area of exchange. Imbalance occurs when the mindset falls to one side ignoring the needs of the other side. To have equal action and reaction in your life, you need to ask those who you comfort and help to also give to you.

What does this have to do with chance? There is no such thing as chance. If you do not value what you are offering in time and energy, you will not receive in equal measure. I know that I have been uncomfortable asking people to give in return to me what I generously offer to them freely from my heart. I admit that this is an area of service that has caused mixed feelings because I simply love to give. I feel it is the natural way to live. Finally, I realize that to be always giving and not expecting a return in the area of human survival needs such as putting food on the table is wrong. God works through people. When we offer a service and the receiver does not give back in one way or another, the receiver does not receive the full measure of the pure love and sacred energy that is sent his way whether it be through healing light, written or spoken words. They, too, must give in one form or another to receive the full benefit of a higher power at work.

This is a touchy subject for most of us who have compassionate hearts. When we focus strongly on spirituality, some of us neglect the practical obligations of every day life. It is necessary to clearly understand and offer service in balanced way. There are people who are willing to give generous sums of money for a workshop or a product that promises to bring some personal harmony or improvement into their lives. Usually, leaders who receive great sums of money are not genuine teachers or a living message of what they present. It is often the glamour of the presentations that pull in the followers. This will continue to hold true until enough souls awaken to what is pure intent, real knowledge and unconditional love. Something to think about if you have been allowing your selfless services to be taken for granted.

To Live Amidst Ignorance

There is a need to speak of courage today. Many people need to keep that word and its implications firmly in the front of the mind. If you have chosen the path to completion as you live in a flesh form, it requires a great deal of courage. Many people assume that life will be like a bed of roses if they choose goodness, light and love. Not so. It is not so because they are bucking the majority. Although more and more souls are awakening to the higher aspects of Self, they exist on so many different levels of understanding and action that abuse still occurs. Subtle and not so subtle abuse is projected toward those who have surrendered and chosen the path of righteousness. To live impeccably on a physical planet whose life forms are not collectively enlightened is arduous to put it mildly. Few understand the laws of the universe or how to apply them in every day living. This is why you must be courageous because few will understand your intent or purity.

Courage does not always come easily. It is not something the typical human is born with. Survival is more to the individuals liking and what is in it for me. People for the most part think of themselves and their needs. When the needs are met, they keep on thinking about themselves and what else they can accumulate. One day they will awaken to the fact that all their acquisitions mean nothing in terms of inner peace, the genuine peace that is found in the embrace of the Divine. Poets attempt to express the embrace but words fall on empty ears or the reader will explaim how lovely and not pause to analyze the intent behind the poetic beauty offered so freely.

If you have chosen to be one who stands tall and filled with courage and sometimes feel alienated, God bless you now and forever more. Perhaps, you remember as I do what it feels like not to be in the flesh and what is seen and known in the higher spheres of true love and light. They say ignorance is bliss and this is very true in many ways. It is not easy to walk on a habitat knowing as your firsthand experience what the luminous beings are like and the activities in the realms of magic and real beauty offer. You see, there is no mystery in the higher worlds of Light. Everything is exposed and pure and the feelings are understood. To be in human form and consciously know the truth of a sublime reality experienced when not in a flesh form takes tremendous courage. For those who comprehend what I am sharing, I applaud you, embrace you and encourage you not to falter. Go within to the hidden chamber and simply BE. You will not be alone. The luminous ones are with you. Pay attention, allow yourself to feel their presence and power and give thanks that you have an opportunity to anchor in matter the Light of the Heavens.

The Pretenders



There is a moment in space time when a soul finally realizes that he or she has been a pretender. Who is this pretender? It is someone who outwardly behaves as if he or she is a soul who loves unconditionally, with compassion, deep sincerity and lives life with integrity and beauty. But, the truth is that the pretender only behaves as such outwardly. Within the pretender is a stingy and incomplete energy who desires only to impress and not to BE. This again sounds harsh but, it a fact, a reality all too common on planet earth. There have been pretenders from the beginning and particularly during times of change and cycles of increased spiritual energy. They step forward as if they are here to save the world with their wisdom and love. This is falsity at its worst.

The pretenders may not even recognize that they are falsely representing truth because they do not yet understand what truth really is. To understand truth one needs to have totally surrendered the ego to the Divine. The purpose of human life is for the Divine to live as the human and not the hidden subconscious. When the Divine is in charge, choices are made by the higher Self, the spirit, of the individual rather than the human persona. At this time on planet earth, the true disciples, the authentic ones are rare indeed. Many are writing and preaching the sublime beauty before they have captured it in their own lives and relationships. I guess it is better to pretend than not be anything at all.

Not to be anything at all is to waste your life mimicking others and not being the genuine article. Remember, surrender to the higher power, the eternal life force, is the genuine personality and yet it is not a personality. It simply Is. It is a fount of beauty, inner wealth, joy, compassion, true understanding, integrity and a love that cannot be described. Until that moment when an individual soul blends fully with the authenticity of who it really is...he or she is a pretender. You see, a pretender only acts, speaks, thinks in fits and starts. A true one is employed by God and is consistent in his or her behavior. This is Being. A personality can involve itself in good works but if the heart is selfish or thoughts and actions impure, it is still a pretender. You may judge this to be too severe but your higher Self knows differently.

Real Love

Valentines Day is a lovely holiday but it has very little to do with Real love. Real love is something most humans have not yet experienced. It is a surrender to a power that transcends human thinking and feeling. It stands by the lover and waits patiently sometimes for the lover to catch up. Real love is transcendent and is experienced between souls who have similar vibrations. These vibrations are beyond words or even actions at times. It is an energy that is so magical and magnificent that it would take an observers breath away. Real love lasts through centuries of living in space and time and has nothing to do with appearance or gender. It is when two souls recognize each other as one unit of magnificence, each complimenting the other.

Real love is found in the higher vibratory levels of consciousness where radiant Light rules and music plays in such a harmonious way that all are filled with a desire to simply Be. If a human could grasp for a moment the passion and intensity of a higher love, they would not know what to do with themselves. It is so sublime and enduring and in such an intensity that the idea of existing in any other consciousness is punishment. Every once in awhile a soul with this elevated love consciousness arrives in a flesh body to help other souls discover what Real love is. This elevated soul does not express verbally what it feels because it cannot. Human language is not angelic language, the language of light. Real Love is far beyond any human expression and is only captured when the heart has been given away to the Divine. The heart beats to the rhythm of its Creator and to all the other souls who have merged with their individualized spirits. Real love is worth waiting for. It is permanent and has no flaws, no questions, no doubts, no sadness...only Itself to revel in as a permanent relationship that is amazing and beyond time and space.
