The Savior Is NOT Coming!

At risk of being controversial, I'm sharing why I believe the savior is not coming!

It is time to step out in your own power, play your part, and BEcome the change you wish to see in the world!

Taking Responsibility For The Inferno

I will be the first person to tell you it is important to dwell on the positive. I am blessed with a relatively sunny disposition, and it has worked out for me more often than not. If there is one thing I have learned though, sometimes optimism is not enough. When one is confronted by a raging inferno, no amount of optimism is going to put the fire out. That requires resources--water or something else big enough to smother the flames. It is time for us to take responsibility for the inferno raging around us and set it right before it consumes everything--including us.

My trip down the rabbit hole has taught me there is great evil in the world--truly mind-blowing evil. This evil controls the vast resources that make up our planet and uses them to suppress the majority of the population. Because they control the media, most people do not even understand what has happened. While the pain from the oppression continues to wake people up to this reality, we tend to watch this raging inferno from the sidelines, convinced the fire department is on its way. Our programming, through religion and even fairytales, convinces us a savior is coming.

We have waited thousands of years for a savior. We will wait for thousands more if we continue to ignore the fire that is right in front of our faces. It is time to acknowledge this simple truth. We are our own saviors. The fire department does not exist outside of ourselves. The fire department resides in our hearts!

It is time to acknowledge the inferno raging before us. It is time to encircle it with our waterbuckets of truth and continue to pour water on the flames until they are extinguished. It is time to round up the fire starters and take the fuel out of their hands. It is time to charge them with arson, try them, and force them to make amends. The fire cannot be put out until we have taken responsibility for its cause and stopped it.

The inferno will continue to rage until we become its keepers. Let's stop this inferno together!

The United State's Dark Night Of The Soul

The dark night of the soul is a term often used to describe a sacred life journey where one is confronted by his/her own worst darkness. Experiences vary as each individual is unique, but suffice it to say the trip is always accompanied by pain and fear. It is not easy to battle your demons--especially when the demons come from the inside.

The interesting part of about this journey of the soul is that a person begins the trip believing that the darkness originates outside himself. He/she fights and plots and strategizes and becomes thoroughly overwhelmed by problems that only get worse over time. It is only when the person becomes aware the problems lie within that they begin to tame the darkness. Peace comes with the understanding the monster is part of who we are and must be tamed by the angel in order to successfully overcome it.

The United State is going through its own dark night of the soul. We have come to a point in our history where we can no longer deny our way of life has become detrimental to the vast majority of our people. Darkness is rearing its ugly head as citizens fight about which Presidential candidate has the power to save us. Our problems and fears have definitely come to the surface as we try to face and tame them.

The funny and interesting thing about this process is how convinced we all are that the side we have chosen is superior in every way. Our problems come from the ways others view these same issues. We could not be wrong! We are not responsible for these problems--or so the stories go.

If you are reading this post, this is your wake-up call! The problems in the United States are not here because Bill Clinton's Congress de-regulated the banks (or anything that followed). The problems did not come from bankers working in collusion to bilk the masses of their wealth. The problems didn't come from poor people begging the government for handouts or illegal workers taking American jobs. Our problems were created because of our own laziness and apathy! We sat back and allowed others to take responsibility for what happens in our world and consequently lost control of it! This is how our own darkness is rearing its ugly head. We alone are the ones who have the power to change it.

It is time to recognize where our own inaction and apathy has led us. It is time to take personal responsibility for each and everything we do. It is time to treat others as we wish to be treated! It is time to recognize where the corruption lies and begin to prosecute those responsible so they are also held accountable for their actions. Restitution must be a way of life if we are to right the wrongs that have been committed.

The dark night of the soul is a powerful journey of descent, but the demons you confront in the depths make it possible for you to see the light once again. The United States--even the whole world--is making that journey. Know it cannot get better until we come to terms with the darkness that lies within. Deal with the darkness, and emerge into the light!

The Problem With Our Country Today

I came across a post about a Presidential candidate that disturbed me even though I like this particular candidate. It read, "Why am I so passionate about __________________? Because we may never get another chance like this to save democracy in America." Why am I disturbed by this? I am disturbed because, once again, we are failing to take responsibility for our own lives and save ourselves.

Has any President ever saved us? In the past, many people looked to President John F. Kennedy as a leader. I do believe he was a great leader. He led us through some very troubling times, including the Civil Rights Movement. I also believe he stood up to the bankers (which was a large part of why he was killed). Still, for all that, he was just one man. He was able to inspire thousands of people, which is an important ingredient in change.

A lot of people think Ronald Reagan was a good President. I never liked him, nor did I like his Vice President, George H W Bush. I thought people were stupid to vote for the guy because he had been a movie star. It ticked me off that he got credit for the collapse of the Soviet Union. Yes, the economy seemed to thrive under his watch. Presidents don't make or break economies though. Bankers do. (Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who understands that!) 

My husband has been busy blaming every bad thing that has happened in this country on Obama. I know a good many people who do. Again, Presidents do not make or break economies. It is those with all the money and power that callously decide whose hands the money goes into. Obama can only do so much. The rest is up to us.

Most of us have no desire to be in charge. While I don't see that as a problem, it goes much deeper than that with many of us. We can't even take responsibility for how we live our own lives. Instead of listening to that voice inside that tells us this is what we should do and this is what we shouldn't do, we have become dependent on a set of external rules that defines how we should live. Rules are not bad in and of themselves, but one size does not fit all. This is where the lines between rules get fuzzy. If you get too specific and regulate everything to the nth degree, freedom suffers. 

When life is pleasant for us for a number of years, we have a tendency to become apathetic and lazy. We sit back and live off the fat of the land and forget that we play a role in creating our world. It isn't until much later, when things have gotten really difficult, that we begin to see the need to change.

While we slept, we allowed those in charge to take advantage of us. Many of us will continue to find a scapegoat to blame, but until we understand the world will not change until we do, all the blame in the world will not make it better. One man or woman running for President will not make the United States a better place to live. It will become a better place when each one of us stands up and takes an active role in creating a better world.

Healing And Integrating The Dark Side Of Self

I believe emotions are instructional tools. When we feel strong emotions, those are signals that we need to pay attention to and deal with an underlying issue. Lately what has set my emotions off are the politics being played out on the national (US) stage. It dawns on me this morning that I need to work a little harder at resolving some of these issues with myself.

The person who sets me off the most at present is Hillary Clinton. Because of my dealings with alternative radio, I have done a lot of research into the connections between the occult and power. She has come up frequently in this research. I'm not going to detail what I believe because my issue is not something you need to add to your plate of issues. We all have our own work to do. I bring this up because I want to give you a concrete example of how I am working to heal myself through the issues that come up for me.

When I look at Hillary, I can see that I have personally put up energetic blocks between us. Much of this has been about my own protection from the forces I see around her. The other part of this is not wanting to acknowledge my own evil. The thing is, knowing what I know about Oneness, deep down I understand that Hillary and I are One. To deny her is to deny myself. To deny her is to deny what the contrast of her life has given to me. Without her, I am not able to acknowledge and learn from all that IS. Contrast is one of the best learning tools we have here in duality.

This is why Ho'oponopono is such a spectacularly helpful tool. (For more information on this healing technique, see "The Power Of Ho'oponopono" and "Ho'oponopono Revisited".) In a nutshell, Ho'oponopono is a healing technique that assumes personal responsibility for all the circumstances in our lives. Its four parts (I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you) acknowledge the role we have played in the problems that have been created and breaks down the walls we have built that keep ourselves from understanding all that IS. As we give thanks for the awareness, blocked energy is allowed to flow freely once again.

As I look at my own personal hangups with Hillary, I am able to see where my putting her in the "evil" box has had the effect of keeping her there. She is trapped until I understand what I need to see about her, the world, and myself. As I pray and meditate, I apologize for my role in the problem and ask for forgiveness. I thank her for her willingness to help me learn what I came to Earth to learn, and I acknowledge our Oneness through love.

Healing does not come from winning the fight. It comes from letting the fight go and allowing awareness to once again become part of self. As parts of Oneness, Hillary's struggle is my struggle, just as my struggle is hers. By acknowledging the roles of others, we allow what IS to exist freely in flow. We are able to integrate and heal the darker side of self.

Trusting The Divine

In some respects, my life was much easier when I was a Christian. I believed God had a plan for my life. I just sat back and watched it all unfold and accepted that what happened was supposed to happen for my benefit. All I needed to do was acknowledge him and try to live the sort of life the Bible prescribed. The positive aspect of this life was that I was able to live in a state of flow because I always trusted God had my back.

When I began to understand that religion had been put into place to control the masses, the foundation I had built my life on tumbled to the ground. Over time, I have been able to rebuild my life, but it has been a struggle. What I have fought with most is the concept of trust. As I no longer had a working definition for what God is, I struggled to trust something that I couldn't even define.

Trust is important for a smooth life. When you trust, it is much easier to survive the upsets because you understand they will pass and your life will get better once again. You know that some unseen force is standing behind you, enabling you to power on. When you lack trust, you are in the ultimate state of separation. You see yourself as the only thing you can rely on. When you fail, there is nothing else left to support you. You are alone in the world.

The truth is, we are all on this journey together. There are physical realms and spiritual realms, and we can connect with them any time we wish through intention because we are all connected. We are all One.

Life is not about living a life designed by something outside ourselves. Life is created by a force that flows through us and everything else. This force is us. Because all things are connected to it, all that IS works together to support us all. We are literally supported by everything! Trusting the divine becomes a matter of acknowledging our connection to all that IS and understanding we are fully supported by it.

Taking Responsibility For Our World

With all the hype and hoopla that surrounds the Superbowl here in the United States, I was once again reminded that the Superbowl also brings pain and misery to thousands every year. The Superbowl is the most highly trafficked weekend of the year in terms of human trafficking here in the US. While many of us sit around eating snack foods and enjoying the game, people are being sold to high bidders behind closed doors.

Ignoring the problem will not make it go away. In fact, I will go so far as to say that we are all to blame for this state of affairs. That's right. It is OUR FAULT!!! While we don't necessarily go out and participate in the trafficking, we are all more than willing to turn a blind eye to it.

The problems we have in the world today all exist because, at some level, we all choose to be unaware. We choose to not see and not understand because it gives us freedom from responsibility. Yes, we often pay lip service to the corruption on our planet, but we do not truly want to get our hands dirty.

We have arrived at a time when the evil is so far out of control that we must stand up to it or be lost. We can no longer just sit back and allow ourselves to be entertained by the bread and circuses they leave for us to distract us from the evil.

It is time to wake up. It is time to stand up. It is time to raise our voices as ONE and choose to love each other so much we will not allow anyone else to suffer needlessly again. What affects one person affects us all.

The world will not change until we do. Take responsibility for yourself and the world around you, and others will wake up and begin taking responsibility as well.

~CSE

Are You Ready For The Coming Change?

Whether we want it or not, change is coming. BIG change. As more and more people wake up to the corruption that has become an integral part of our world, the crazier the world seems to become. We are so close to the tipping point it has become obvious to anyone even a little sensitive to others. The world is ripe for change.

Survival will come down to one thing: how willing we are to let go of the world we have always known. The powers that be have done a great job of convincing us their system is just the way things are--that all hell will break loose if their power structure is not kept in place. This is the ultimate lie. What their power structure holds in place is their own wealth and power. It also keeps you from taking responsibility for yourself and reclaiming your own power.

Growing pains are typically associated with change. This is why so many people you know have been dying lately. We all sense that something new is coming. Some people are so entrenched in the system they believe chaos is inevitable when the old system ceases to exist. They are afraid to live in a world they do not understand and cannot anticipate. Their downfall is their unwillingness to step up and create their own world.

Now is the time to rethink how the world is run. Do we continue to argue for its limitations, or do we tap into our hearts and begin to create new ways of functioning where everyone benefits? The more willing we are to let go of the things that no longer serve us, the easier our transition will be. Living in flow requires the ability to let go. Clinging to anything that no longer serves is a block that will hold us up and keep us from the abundance we all truly deserve.

Are you ready to welcome the coming change, or will you make it more difficult on yourself by clinging to old ways of doing things? The choice is yours.

The Difference Between Victim And Victor

You see them everywhere: victims and victors. Some people seemingly go through life with a black cloud overhead. Other people appear to waltz through life easily, without any major bumps along the way. While the circumstances of both look like a matter of luck, the difference has nothing to do with luck. The difference between victim and victor is responsibility.

Victims play the game of everything being the fault of someone else. Victims never deserve what happens to them. They just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and the people with the real power take advantage. The fact of the matter is, if you believe yourself to be powerless to change your circumstances, you are powerless. You become the victim at every turn.

Victors are very different. It isn't that bad things don't happen to them. Bad things happen to everyone. Victors have a unique mindset. Instead of sitting back and watching things happen, they take responsibility and take control. When something bad happens, they look at the situation and say, "What can I do to change this?" They then begin to take corrective action. They may not be successful on the first or even the hundredth attempt. They just keep trying different things until they hit upon an idea that works. While it appears that victors have an easy life, they have just learned to take responsibility for what happens to them. They roll with the punches and do not let the negative get them down for long.

Do you feel in control of your life, or are you enslaved by the actions of others? Only you can save yourself. Accept responsibility for what happens in your life and you will transition from victim to victor.

Taking Responsibility For War

I was watching an interview with a Syrian refugee. Because of war facing that country, she and her family fled. No one wants to live in war. No one wants to live in such fear. The simple fact of the matter is, the vast majority of us want to live in peace. The vast majority of us want to live lives of freedom from fear and worry.

This is not possible at present. Why? Because those in power want war. War makes them rich when governments buy more planes and ships and bombs and arms from their war corporations. War makes them rich when they are enabled to take over the vast mineral and slave resources available in any given 2nd or 3rd world country. War gives them the wealth necessary to buy more and more power as they take over world governments and suppress the people.

We have two choices with this state of affairs. We can choose to play the victim and continue to allow those obsessed with wealth and power to control our planet through our destruction. The other choice is to recognize what is going on and take responsibility for what happens. The fact of the matter is, there is a whole lot more of us than there are of them. If we were to all come together and say we want peace and you can no longer stop us, war would stop. Immediately.

Now is the time for action! Now is the time to open up our hearts and begin connecting to them! When we allow love to flow in, we begin to understand that the people in those war torn countries are just like us. They don't want to live in fear. They want to live in peace, just as we want to live in peace. They may have different colored skin. They may have different cultures and different beliefs. Still, they want what we all want. They want to live in love and happiness.

Stop allowing evil people to decide what actions we take! As long as we listen to the voices of these wolves and the lies they spew forth, all we will know is war. All we will know is fear.

Open your heart! This is the place where peace and love begin. This is the place of connection--the place we discover that we all have something in common. We have spent enough time destroying one another. It is time to begin the process of peace and prosperity. It is time to take responsibility for our actions, lay aside our weapons and begin to live in the peace we so desperately crave.

Together, we can make a difference. Together, we are the ones we've been waiting for. Let's make it happen!!!

God In Me

Growing up Christian, I heard a lot about having God in my heart. This is what the concept of the Holy Spirit is all about--God within. While I appreciate that Christianity contains the concept of God dwelling within the human soul, it strikes me Christians don't take responsibility for it. That's where the problems begin.

In this world of separation, we see God as separate from ourselves. He is almighty, all-powerful and perfect. These are concepts very much outside the imperfection that is us as human beings. Consequently, while we are taught to believe a version of God lives in everyone, we fail to identify with it. It's inside, but it is not us. (Really? Sounds like the definition of possession to me!)

Christians have a tendency to say things like, "Let go and let God" and "If it's God's will" in order to justify not taking responsibility for their own lives. That way, if things don't turn out as they want, they can justify the negativity. Again, these are concepts that suggest God is not really joined with who they are.

I believe the Persian poet and mystic (who was also Islamic) Rumi gave one of the best explanations of God in me that I have ever heard. He said:

You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.

In other words, you are not just a piece of God, separate and incomplete. Everything that IS God is contained inside you. This is why Jesus told his disciples they could perform even greater miracles than he had done. We all have the power of God inside ourselves. We simply see it as separate from who we are, so we are not able to use it.

Christians believe they cannot be complete without God so they have to intentionally take in what they believe to be God. What they fail to recognize is, God is already there!!! It's not about taking something foreign inside. It's about recognizing what has been there all along.

There is no need to go to something outside yourself and ask what the divine plan for you is. Ask your heart where you should go and what you should do. The information is there, and it has been there the whole time.

Everything that IS God is in me. Everything that IS God is in you. Isn't it time to tune in to that God frequency and use it to change the world?

I Am Not Your Mama: Renouncing Spiritual Contracts That Burden You

It may surprise some of you that I can remember bits and pieces of some of my former lifetimes. The first time a memory came back to me was when I asked a specific question about a relationship I have with a present day friend. The exact question was, "Why do I have so many conflicts with this person I care so much about?" All of a sudden, I had a vision of a past life that explained our longtime connection and past struggles. Interestingly enough, remembering this event has helped me maintain a better balance in my present day relationship.

We all have many long standing relationships with people we meet here on Earth, regardless of whether or not we remember those past connections. Often we have agreements to help each other learn certain lessons or accomplish certain tasks. This is why many of the same people show up with us, lifetime after lifetime.

There are times when the same people bring the same low vibrations back to our lives to play out again. The goal is to learn something new in the hope that growth is achieved. However, sometimes one being is ready for the new vibration/frequency/change and the other being is not. At that point, it is important to intentionally renounce the spiritual contract that is tying you to the other being.

While you do not need to renounce the contract in a formal way, renouncing it formally will make a decisive end to your spiritual contract. The following is a simple outline you can copy (and change if necessary to fit your particular situation):

I, (your name here), renounce and revoke any and all spiritual agreements, contracts and connections I have with (person you are breaking the contract with). I understand only (person you are breaking the contract with) has the ability to change themselves and I am not legally or morally responsible for his/her well-being. I do not consent to the spiritual tie I have been bound with and declare my sovereignty and freedom from this person and situation. 

Remember, your life is not about another person. It is about you and your personal journey of understanding and growth. You are not responsible for the journey of someone else.

That said, I am not responsible for your personal journey. You need to take responsibility for yourself. I can show you the tricks and tools I use to connect to Source and find my own answers. In other words, I can show you the door. I cannot force you to walk through it. I love you, but I am not your mama!!!

Land Of The Free?

I am a resident of the United States of America. Once upon a time, I was convinced it was the greatest place on planet Earth. Now I'm convinced it is nothing more than a gilded cage (with the gold plating wearing extremely).

I am free to vote on the candidate of my choice in an election. The thing is, these "choices" are now highly controlled. Think any Joe Schmo can run for office? Think again! You have to either be connected or have a huge bank account yourself in order to play with the big boys. Don't even bother if you're not running on the Democrat or Republican ticket!!! What's that meme they have made us all believe? "Nobody wins if they aren't Democrat or Republican, right?" If you look around at the people in office even down to the local level you will see there are very few exceptions to this rule. There is one other thing that makes you an ideal candidate: corruptibility. Those who can be blackmailed are more likely to become politicians because they are the ones that can be controlled.

I am free to live the "American Dream"!!! For most people, this means buying a house that you cannot afford so you can pay interest on a loan that was created from thin air when you signed on the dotted line. Yes, banks create money based on the "loans" they give away. It's part of the fractional reserve lending practices they participate in. Once you sign on the dotted line, you too are part of this debt slave system. It gets even worse as you think about all the things people go into debt for nowadays. Cars, computers, high def gaming systems, boats and every other luxury item imaginable. You too can live the life of your dreams as a debt slave!!!

But we have "free" education--at least until college. Our educational system has become one of being able to jump through certain hoops. This is where things like standardized testing and crap like Common Core come in. Our educational system is not about helping children cope in the world. It is all about producing little worker bees they can spit out into designated slots at the correct time!!! Work hard, make good grades, and you too can be slotted into the working world of drudgery and debt slavery!!! It doesn't really matter what your talents are as long as you have the ability to fill a job they need filled. Happiness is definitely optional!!!

Then there's the media. Everything is entertainment...even what gets posted as "news". Why in the world do we need to know if Justin Beiber is being named in a paternity lawsuit? Why is Caitlyn Jenner news? (It isn't as though she is the first person to undergo a sex change operation.) What we need to know about are things like the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), which Congress is trying to pass secretly right now without the citizens of the US knowing a damn thing about what it contains!!! It is designed to give corporations the power to force their products into markets where they people have already rejected them!!! It also has broad powers to regulate the internet through taxes, fines, and imprisonment if you post something on there the powers that be don't like!!! WAKE UP, PEOPLE!!!

I am tired of conforming to the box I have been forced into by living in the United States. It isn't that I think living elsewhere would be better. I do not. I am just sick of the lies!!!

The only way to solve any problem is to first recognize you have one!!! I believe this country can be better. I believe this country can truly be free!!! It just requires that we wake up to what is being done to manipulate us into living inside the box and choosing to break out of it.

Take responsibility for yourself and your freedom. Otherwise, your power is forfeit as you empower those who only have their own best interests at heart.

Shut Up And DEAL With It!!!

There is no doubt about it. The earth is a big mess. Poverty. Pollution. Disease. Violence and wars. Corrupt politicians and leaders. It's enough to drive you mad if you dwell on it for too long. The thing is, the circumstances of our lives are really our own fault! That's right, I said it! We have no one to blame but ourselves!!!

How can I believe this, you ask? We didn't personally make the decision to pollute our air and water. We didn't ask to have our money taken from us through war, taxation and inflation. We didn't pass the laws that make it easy for our politicians to be corrupted! We come into this world having to deal with all the problems it holds, regardless of whether or not we started them.

And that is just my point!!! We may not have started these problems (although honestly even that could be argued), but there is a definite need for these problems to be dealt with. The thing is, we expect everyone else to deal with them!!! We whine and complain about what happens in the world around us, but then we sit back and lament on how our politicians don't accomplish anything!!! We see hunger and poverty around us, yet we do nothing to see those needs get met!!! We worry about wars, and yet we fail to stop the thinking that created those situations in the first place!!!

Our biggest misstep is we fail to take responsibility for what happens to our planet. We don't even question why the problems happened in the first place. We release ourselves from responsibility by telling ourselves we did not create the problems and don't have the power to change things. This is a lie. We intentionally gave up our power to change things when we decided to play the game.

What is the game? The game involves doing what we've always been programmed to do instead of thinking for ourselves! It involves becoming a good citizen, working hard for a living, using the world's resources as they've been laid out for us to use them. Here in the United States, it means to find a job that pays the bills so we can own a house, drive a car, take a vacation, put food on the table. If we're really doing it well, we're obsessed with buying the latest tablet or cell phone or video game, not to mention designer clothes and purses and all those other things that shout out wealth.

Understand this sort of life has been designed to keep us distracted. Bread and circuses. Give the people those things they can use to distract themselves with so they won't try to change them. It's been a strategy of the "elite" for thousands of years. We relieve ourselves of responsibility by allowing others to do the "hard" work. We have no one to blame but ourselves for the world's problems.

It is time to step back into our own power! Take the time to connect within your heart (to where the answers are). Pray. Meditate. Laugh. Play. Plant a tree. Clean up your neighborhood park. Start an organization to feed the homeless in your community. Run for political office. Do all those things your heart guides you to, because your heart will help you find your place in the world.

It is time to stop whining and complaining!!! YOU have the power to change the world, so shut up and deal with it!!! Stop waiting for a savior!!! The savior is YOU!!!
