Identity

Who are you? What is your race? What is your religion? What is your gender? What is your political affiliation? Sexual orientation? Ethnic background? Income level? Job title?

What if I told you these things are not who you are? Would you believe me if I told you such labels were placed on you by society as a way to categorize and, in that way, separate us? We are told these labels are important in order to establish who we are. Is that true?

What if nobody identified themselves in such ways? Who would you be then?

Would you be sweet? Funny? Compassionate? Shy? Extroverted? Intelligent? Sincere? Courageous? Strong? Sad? Angry? Happy?

How would you spend your time? Singing? Laughing? Engineering? Painting? Cleaning? Thinking? Driving? Nurturing? Planting? Traveling? Exploring? Connecting?

Your true identity is not outside of you. It is inside, and it emerges when you free yourself from those outside labels.

It is only when we understand ourselves in authenticity that we BEcome who we were meant to be in the world. Drop the labels and understand your true identity.

Becoming Aware Of Entities

In religions, it is known as possession. In the medical field it is often referred to as mental illness. Regardless of how you view it, it is a spiritual condition that can be overcome, although answers are not always easy. 

The vast majority of us are affected by them. By now you're sitting there thinking, "This is not something that affects me! I feel fine and function normally." It is my belief we are so used to carrying these entities around we think they are extensions of ourselves. Why do I believe this? There was a brief period in my life when I was clear of them.

I was attending Access Consciousness classes when I encountered them. Having grown up in a Christian home, I was aware of Bible stories about Jesus casting out demons so the idea was not totally new to me. I remember the experience well. I was asked the number of entities I carried around and I immediately heard myself say "14". The facilitator continued to ask me questions to help me let go of them. Most left easily. The last one was pretty stubborn (and stronger than the rest), but eventually it did leave.

How do I know it was real? I know it was real because of how different I felt when it was over. For the first time in this lifetime, there were no running conversations in my head--none. It was silent. Talk about getting clear!

I'm sorry to say I didn't allow myself to stay that way. Although I don't analyze it often, I do have dialogues running through my head. Because of my experiences I understand what is going on now. It's ironic that I am so used to feeling this way it is an almost scary experience to not have them there (which I believe is why I picked a lot of them back up).

The problem is, these entities can effect your life in negative ways. The really harsh ones can open you up to behaviors which allow other entities in--behaviors like heavy duty drug and alcohol abuse, sex with someone who carries a lot of negative entities themselves, and not taking care of your physical body. They can drain you of strength and energy, give you illness, and cloud your judgment.

One more thing to be aware of. Entities can come and go. We sometimes do things to heal ourselves that get rid of one or more of these entities. Prayer can help, but also things like staying sober, eating wholesome food, exercise and forgiveness can benefit us in unseen ways.

Bondage and slavery take on many forms. Freedom is a matter of recognizing what binds you and taking measures to cut yourself loose from everything that holds you back from BEing the shining light you are.

In This Moment Of Now

What are you doing in this moment of now?

Are you beating yourself up for mistakes you've made? Are you wondering how you could have approached a situation differently for better results? Do you regret something you said to a friend, loved one, or business associate? Are you sorry for the opportunities you've allowed to slip through your fingers? Maybe your time is more pleasantly engaged remembering better times in the past? Regardless of the positive or negative nature, all these thoughts indicate you are living in the past.

Are you dreaming of something more? Maybe you're thinking of moving to a new location or to a new home? Maybe you're contemplating making a job change that will be a better fit and make you happier? Perhaps your future plans involve travel or getting married and starting a family. On the other side of the coin, maybe you're concerned with losing your job or your home? Maybe you foresee a future of loneliness? Regardless of direction, these thoughts put you firmly in the future.

Spending brief periods of time in the past or the future is not a bad thing, but it can be distracting and often a waste of time and energy. At best, you are remembering positive energy or making plans for where you want to go in life. At worst, you are beating yourself up or worrying about all the negative things that could happen to you. The thing is, past or future, none of these things enable you to work in your full strength and power.

When you focus in this moment of now, you are aware. You have the ability to sense and experience your surroundings with your eyes, your ears, your tongue, your nose, your hands and your heart. In that moment you can feel the unity between mind, body and spirit. You have immediate understanding of what you can do in that moment that will make you feel good and happy and whole. You know that you are alive and that it is possible to get through anything if you just focus on what step to take next.

The truly mind-boggling thing about this moment of now is that now is the one place every moment of time exists. Pretend you are in a dimension where the limitations of time are gone. There is no past, because everything is present. There is no future, because, again, everything is present. All those moments in our lives we experience in sequential order are there simultaneously in the now.

This is what makes the now so powerful. When we live in the moment, we can more easily access all that is--past, present and future. It is in this place of now we can better access Oneness.

Again I ask. What are you doing in this moment of now?

Emergence Of The Divine Feminine

For thousands of years, our world has been dominated by a corrupted form of the masculine mindset. Typically, the masculine is what you would think of it as--rational, decisions based on the mind's information and experience set, strength (particularly physical), etc. The masculine is grounded and deeply connected to all things physical. The corruption comes in because these same qualities have been used to suppress and dominate its balance--the divine feminine. Instead of protecting the feminine, the strength of the masculine has been used to control. The logic of the mind (masculine) has been made to seem superior over the logic of the heart (feminine).  

The feminine has been corrupted as well. This can been seen clearly in the feminist movement that began in the 1960's. Instead of bringing forth the divine feminine characteristics of intuition and nurturing, feminism was portrayed as women taking on the roles of men. Instead of being the balance, it embraced more of the same. Women were encouraged to leave their "weaker" feminine side to use the same warring and corruption that was thought to be masculine. The corruption was by design because it is the feminine that is deeply connected to the spiritual aspect of life. When you cut someone off from their spiritual base, they feel isolated and separate and will not claim the innate power that is their birthright.

The world we know is on the edge of a precipice. The war, the poverty, and the disease exist because we have allowed unfettered control by the corrupted masculine mindset. Our world is seriously out of balance.

What will bring us back into balance? We can restructure our world through bringing back our own divine feminine natures! (And yes, whether you're male or female, part of your nature is based in the divine feminine.)

The divine feminine is what emerges when we begin to get back to our spiritual roots, and we do this by connecting to our hearts and the divine connection that is found within. This is the place in all of us that has been suppressed for thousands of years and what we must get back to if we are to solve the world's problems. Remember: the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results!

A daily practice of getting quiet is all you need to get started. The following is a simple list to help you get started on your journey of connecting to your heart.

1. Set aside at least half and hour every day as "Quiet Time". The same time of day will help your body attune itself to the practice. Keep this time sacred!
2. Make sure the place you set aside is quiet and relatively distraction free. Again, the same place every day will help your body adjust and make it more ready to listen.
3. Do not judge the thoughts that come! This is important! Your mind will likely wander a good bit when you first get started. Do not be hard on yourself because of it. As with any practice, it takes a while for your body to adjust.
4. Remember that the breakthroughs come just as you arrive at the point of giving up!

The energy of the Divine Feminine can be found in each one of us as we continue to focus in on our own connection to divinity and spirit. The more we embrace this connection, the better we are able to express our own BEing in the world.

The Power Of Light

I had an interesting experience recently. I had some intuitive hits that my daughter was in danger. It reminded me of all the feelings I used to get when she was an out-of-control teenager. Considering she is in process of transforming her life into something much more positive, I was quite upset about it--even to the point of questioning her. I finally decided to sit back and ask my heart what was going on. The answer I got was amazing!!!

We are at a point in time where the veils separating timelines are fading. Because of this, we are now able to jump timelines easily! What it means is that our consciousness' can literally shift in and out of realities just by focusing on certain thoughts. Although we have always been able to do this, it is much more effortless now. This is why our thoughts seem to be manifesting themselves much more quickly! It is no illusion.

It is more important than ever to focus on the light! When I asked my heart about the situation with my daughter, I was told darkness has been attracted to the brightness of her light. When I get those feelings of danger, I am to focus my own light energy around her as something of a protective effort. Even more important, however, I was to intend that the light I send will be energized in such a way as to transform the darkness into light.

I believe this message is not just for me. We all have the ability to transform light into darkness. That is what our BEing is all about!

Visualize yourself as a solitary lit candle. Even in the middle of a dark room, you have the ability to light up all those dark corners. As you continue to shine your light, other candles appear. They begin to approach as they get to know you. They want what you have, so you begin to light flames on those candles. At some point in the process, you become aware that what was once darkness has been transformed by light!

That is the power of light! It does not destroy the darkness. It transforms it, and the darkness is never the same again!

It is up to all of us to bring our light into the world. Each one has something beautiful to contribute if we allow it to be expressed. It is this beauty--this light--that has the ability to transform the darkness of this planet!

Shine on!!!

WE Have The Power!!!

As I glance over social media this morning, I continue to see several articles badmouthing the new Common Core standards schools in the United States have pretty much adopted. Seems as though everyone (including teachers) despises them, but very few people actually do anything to try to change the situation! Why is this? Don't people realize we have the power to change things?

According to current population studies, there are over seven billion people on the planet. Ever heard the term strength in numbers? There is absolutely no way the few people in charge could control such a large population if we all began to understand we don't have to go along with their plans!

This is why the news media (which they own and control) constantly plays up stories of people and groups fighting each other. This is why we are encouraged to choose sides. If the controllers can keep us fighting each other, we will be so occupied we will not pay attention to what they are actually doing behind the scenes. This is their "Divide and Conquer" strategy and we fall for it every day. A few of them are even hoping we kill each other off in the process. After all, reducing the population makes it infinitely easier to control.

If we took the time to work together (I know, a novel idea) instead of arguing about who is "right", we might actually be able to come up with solutions that work for everyone (and not just the few supposed elite).

It would be really easy to get rid of Common Core standards nationwide. That's why we all need to stand up to the powers that be and in no uncertain terms tell them "NO!" There is absolutely no way they could stand up to even a quarter of the population demanding action.

They know it. And now you do, too!!!

Trigger Points Can Change Your Life!

You find yourself proceeding normally in the everyday routine of your life when, suddenly, something happens to set you off. You might feel angered or hurt over someone else's belief, whether it effects you personally or not. You may have undeservedly received the harsh end of someone else's pain. Regardless of what happened, you were left with all sorts of extreme emotions to handle. I call these incidents trigger points, and if you choose to let them they have the power to change your life!

Emotions, especially strong ones, are your body's way of letting you know an issue is trying to make itself known to you. Emotions are awarenesses coming to the surface. This is why certain people and situations always set us off (and why they may happen repeatedly if you don't understand it the first time). Emotions grab your attention and say, "There is something here for you to learn!"

Trigger points become situations where our fight or flight responses come out. We either fight and make the situation worse or we run away, not understanding that in both instances the problems come back later, often more aggressively. By taking the time to reflect on the situation (before fighting or running away), it is possible to learn what the situation is trying to teach you.

I'll give you an example. I have this extremely good friend that I would occasionally get into arguments with. Often these fights were so bad he would cut me off for a period of time. After this had happened a few times, I got wise and asked why this kept happening when I cared about him so much. As soon as I asked the question, I got this vision of what I now understand to be a past lifetime.

In that lifetime, I was the head high priestess in an ancient temple and my friend was the lead general in an army that conquered the city I lived in. Part of what the army would do to psychologically control the conquered people is to take over all religious structures, and this is how we met. Even though it was all meant to be done in a cold and methodical way, he ended up falling in love with me as I did with him. He even wanted to marry me, but I drew the line at that because I felt I would be betraying my people by taking on that symbolic commitment to him. We have been fighting ever since.

Once I saw this, it put my modern day relationship with this friend into perspective. I was able to see we both had a need to be right and we both had a need to be in control. I became much more aware of my interactions with my friend from that time forward, and I'm happy to say it has become much better as I let go of my need to be in control.

I am not saying you need to see a past life to deal with present day issues. Sometimes when you ask the question you receive common sense sort of information that helps you gain new insights and understandings. The key here is to ask the question! Questions help unlock insights you have previously failed to see.

When you find yourself in a situation where your emotions are particularly intense, stop and ask what you need to learn about the situation at hand. The insights you receive when you open up to the information can change the course of your life. Your life will become that much more calm and peaceful because you have gained the understanding the pain was designed to get you to see.

Trigger points can turn your stumbling blocks into insights if you allow them to teach you their lessons.
