Focus On Connection

This morning I feel like I am sitting on a powder keg. Right now, everything seems calm and relatively normal. However, it feels like it would only take one little match to set everything off in flames. It is for this reason I would urge you to focus on your own personal connection to God/Source today and in the days that follow.

Take the time to get out in your environment. Feel the earth under your feet. Get a sense of the rocks, and trees, and water, and everything in your environment. If you happen to be in a city, take the time to sense the buildings, the street, the cars and people. Allow yourself to be very aware of what goes on around you. Be intentional about it.

As you begin to sense individual things, allow yourself to focus on the energetic interactions between yourself and whatever object you are focusing on. Feel the connection and interaction between it and yourself. Ask if there is anything important you need to understand.

At times of great change, it is important to understand your connections to all things in order to gain the wisdom and insight those connections hold. When you feel your connection, you are able to see solutions where many people can only see the problem. You become the answer.

Problems are only problems when you don't have solutions. Remain connected to God/Source and you will have the answers you need.

Cognitive Dissonance

Yesterday was a bad day for me. I didn't spend it reliving all the painful memories of that fateful day fourteen years ago. I had flashbacks all last week of that painful day and how it changed the world. What came up for me (ALL day long) was the painful truth there are still so many people stuck in the lies that have been told about that day.

The facts are relatively simple. There were no radical terrorists with box cutters; 9/11 was an inside job. We did not need to disintegrate our rights to privacy and due process in the name of safety; the Patriot Act was merely justification to collect the information they were already collecting. The people in the Middle East do not hate us for our freedoms (AS IF!!!); they hate us for inventing excuses to invade them and plunder their resources for the benefit of transnational corporations.

We all want to believe the people we have allowed to be in power are very much like us--doing their best to be good while making mistakes along the way. We want to believe it because the alternative is just too painful to handle; the people in power are unspeakably evil. They have meticulously plotted and planned how to dominate and control to the point where they have so much power they can kill the majority of us off so those who are left can function as slaves to do their bidding. Indeed, they have already tried to kill most of us off--through wars, through disease, through poverty.

The simple truth is, until we understand we have given over our own personal power to evil and decide to take it back by taking back responsibility for our own lives, the problems our world has will continue on indefinitely.

It is time to allow our personal goodness and light to shine in the darkness. It is time to step up and become take on an active role as lightworker, peacemaker, and healer. It is time to recognize our own power and our ability to change the world through BEing who we are.

All it takes is the courage to see the truth. All it takes is the desire to be the change. It is up to each one of us to step up and become part of this new world. Together, we can make a difference!!!

Visions Of Peace

There is a place, deep in our hearts, where peace lives. Even though we cannot presently see it with our eyes, we understand it is a real place. We know we have the power to make it a reality. Today, more than ever, it is important to allow this peace to radiate out from our beings to shine its great light upon the world.

A few short months ago, a shooter in Charleston killed nine people in a church, including SC state senator Clementa Pinckney. It was widely reported that the killer was a white supremacist. While this may be true, I believe the emphasis placed on race by the media was designed to build up racial tension within Charleston and the state of South Carolina and promote riots, similar to what had happened in places like Ferguson, Missouri and Baltimore, Maryland.

What the powers that be did not anticipate were the reactions of the people of Charleston and the state of South Carolina. Instead of being filled with hate, the good people of South Carolina came together and said, "We can no longer tolerate hate. We will use forgiveness to heal what is wrong and come together as a community." They carried peace in their hearts. They knew it. They lived it.

When the residents of the state did not act with the hate and violence that was intended, outsiders were brought in to protest in the hope that these protesters could get the violence started. Again, the good people of South Carolina recognized the external circumstances that were brought to them and refused to hate. They told the protesters to go home and take their hate with them.

This is exactly what we need to do today and in the coming months: refuse to hate and allow peace to reign in our hearts. It is time to see and recognize the worth of all souls. It is time to allow those who are different from ourselves the space to BE different. It is time to lay aside the barriers that separate us and create a world where we understand our deep connections to each other and our world.

May we all allow these visions of peace to shine so brightly and so powerfully from our hearts there is no room for anything else! Together, we can all make a difference!!!

A Message For The Powers That Be

On this day, just on the brink of planned chaos, understand that we are waiting. This is not meant to be threatening or even a threat. It is meant to inform you we are not powerless. It is meant to inform you we have no intention of allowing chaos to reign supreme. We are aware, and we are also planning.

We are planning a new world based on sharing the world's resources for the benefit of all. We are planning a world without violence, without war, without poverty, without starvation, without illness, without separation of any kind. We are planning a world where peace and abundance reign supreme. Understand there is room for all, including yourselves, although your job will no longer be to rule.

It amazes me you still fight as though your power is limitless. It is not. Have you noticed that your plans are not getting the expected results? Have you noticed how often you have to come up with new plans to try to reinforce your old plans that are falling apart? It is only a matter of time before none of your plans will work anymore.

You have tried to break down our connection to the Source--to One. What you don't understand is that this could never happen. There will always be those who can connect regardless of what you do, and we are too numerous to stop now. More and more people remember this connection every day. You cannot overcome the power of the One.

We thank you for the lessons you have taught us in contrast. We thank you for allowing us to see the need to hold our own power sacred. You have fulfilled your oath and your contract.

Lay aside your plans and allow the new world to unfold in Oneness. 

Seeing Beyond Chaos

I am probably as far away from understanding the stock market as anyone can be, yet even I understand that it is not business as usual. From everything I've read, the experts agree that chaos is being created in the usually free flowing system. It is only a matter of time until a crash occurs. This, coupled with my knowledge of rituals and numerology the powers that be use in their black magic practices, makes me believe this crash will happen anytime between this coming Friday (September 11th, 2015) and the end of the month, when the Super Moon eclipse occurs on the 27th. That said, I believe those of us who see the potential problems and chaos need to be coming up with solutions to get past the problems such a scenario would create.

There are several possible problems I can see happening in a stock market crash. The first would be the wiping out of people's retirement savings because of 401k's. The next would be the closing of large businesses that employ thousands of people--so big job losses. Depending on what such an occurrence would do to the banks, access to money could be limited or nonexistent. Those who don't have a good supply of food at home, or rely on food stamps, might begin to go hungry after a few days. There are other potential scenarios, but I don't want to totally let my imagination run away. I point these issues out in order to present solutions!

What is the solution to people's 401k's being wiped out? The fact of the matter is, the best solution is to rethink our whole financial system. Now would be the time to educate the masses about how the financial system really works! They need to understand that our economy is not based on the assets companies hold but on we ourselves being bought and sold like cattle. They need to understand that all corporate governments are designed to funnel money to their banker owners through taxes, fines, penalties, etc. They need to understand that money does not have to be based on debt but can be based on value (including their own), nor should it be created out of thin air. With this is mind, we can make sure the real wealth of the planet is accessible to all and not just those who would keep it all for themselves. It is not about saving for the future. It is about living in the present and making sure we all have what we need.

Another solution is for people to acknowledge we still have the infrastructure to do business as usual without needing the so-called elite to run it. We can still work jobs. We still have the supply lines in place to get food and clothing to the people. We can make sure people have electricity and water and fuel and internet access to do their daily activities. We only need to see beyond the programming of ownership and realize we have the power to take these things into our own hands (and we can even do it without violence). I'm hoping this is the time Obama will use the NDAA 2012 provision to take over vital resources to make sure people's needs are met. If not, we can do it ourselves.

In the midst of chaos, it is important to see beyond it--past the madness and past our programming. As awakened souls, it is up to each one of us to stand up in leadership and become responsible for ourselves, our families and our communities. By envisioning a positive outcome and a positive future, we have the ability to stand firm in the storm and become the anchors others need to transition into a glorious, new reality.

Change Your Perception, Change Your Outcome

I came into contact with the work of Dr. Wayne Dyer over nineteen years ago--around the time I became a single mom. Over the years, his thoughts and words became a source of hope and inspiration for someone who needed frequent help remembering what is important in life. Although I mourn his death, those things he left behind continue to illumine and empower me.

I have watched his movie "The Shift" several times this week. Each time, it has enabled me to see past the expectations I have for myself and my life. Each time, I have a growing awareness of how all the circumstances in my life that seem "bad" are really just there to help me learn. As I become thankful for those same things, my life begins to "shift" in unexpected ways. Blocks that were there because of my expectations of the way things were supposed to be are removed because I no longer see them as problems. I invite them--even encourage them--to come into my life. I don't judge them. I allow them (and that is why they are no longer blocks).

For example, my relationship with my daughter has always been rockier than my relationships with my sons. My daughter is very different from me. I have a tendency to work within society's guidelines, even while being a rebel in my mind. My daughter is definitely someone who marches to her own drummer. For someone as perfectionistic as I am, having a daughter who does not do things the way society deems them appropriate has been difficult.

However, after immersing myself in the thoughts and feelings "The Shift" brings out, I am looking at my relationship with her in a whole new light. Instead of seeing her rebellion and problems as negative things, I am beginning to perceive them as part of her growth and, inevitably, part of mine. The really cool part is, as I leave the struggle--the block--behind, my daughter's anger and frustration are decreasing. As I no longer feel like I am responsible for her and allow her to be more responsible for herself, she is growing in her ability to be responsible. We still have a ways to go, but things are changing for the better. While I don't expect things to be perfect, I do expect the problems that show up to be there in utter perfection.

Dr. Dyer's quote is really true! "If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." When you begin to see the world's problems in their infinite perfection and become thankful for what they can teach you, the problems have a way of working themselves out. They are no longer problems but tools for growth and development!

When you change your perceptions, you change your outcomes. The power has always been within.

The Problem With Expectations

I am a planner. I like to have a goal to work toward. I like to know where I'm going. I even go to the extreme of trying to anticipate and plan for various problems and contingencies to occur because I just don't like being unprepared. The thing is, planning often comes with expectations, and expectations can be a problem.

In my experience, there are two main problems with having expectations. The first is that expectations are often the results of our programming and are often not realistic. For example, here in the US we are told it is important to finish high school, get a college degree, and often get a graduate degree in order to get a good paying job. People are willing to spend boatloads of money on getting these fancy pieces of paper qualifying them for fancy jobs, only to discover there are no fancy jobs available. Meanwhile, the interest accrues on student loans they don't have the ability to repay and cannot declare bankruptcy on. There will always be problems when we look to expectations that originate outside ourselves because we are not following the guidance and wisdom of our hearts.

The other problem with expectations is this: when you expect things to happen in a certain way, you limit what God/Source and the Universe can bestow on you. These expectations literally become blocks that keep you from receiving the blessings that are meant for you! The Universe is infinite and flexible, but when you have expectations you have guidelines the Universe must follow.

When you live in flow, you live in complete trust that God/Source knows exactly what is best for you and has your back. Picture it as canoeing down a river with God literally in your boat. You have never been to this river, so you don't know exactly what direction it will take you in. However, you trust the journey because the river knows its course and you have the benefit of having a knowledgeable navigator with you.

We are entering new and nontraditional waters. Recognize the importance of leaving expectations behind as we follow this new course. Creating our new and beautiful world will be much easier when we allow the Universe to show us the possibilities that exist outside our present understandings.
