a message from Polaris channeled by Karen Murphy
Saturday, 10 July, 2010
We spoke last month about a divergence in energy — internal vs. external — which continues on in the present...
Tag: describe (page 3 of 6)
This channel showed the group at their best with a very
direct channel to the citizens of planet Earth. Normally I would call
this one "Earth Shattering" but I think we will find other words now,
especially after this message. The spoke of the recent earthquakes and
how it has shifted the earth to a new rotational axis that has changed
our experience of time and gravitational pull. They said several
interesting items that they said our sciences now agree with and
several that they don't yet know. It will take us years to uncover all
the events that took place in that one series of adjustments.
They spoke of what was ahead for humanity and directly ahead for our
economies and especially the US. At one point they warned the leaders
of planet Earth of what is ahead. They likened this a wave of energy
coming in rearranging everything in its path. They talked of the
sexual energy entering the planet as they described three years ago.
This is why everywhere you look in the news there is some sexual
incident being uncovered.
They also said the
economies of the world will take another hit soon as the US will soon
experience great difficulty unless it balances. At one point the group
spoke directly to the leaders of the planet warning of the severe
effects of polarity thinking. They challenged each of us to search for
these beliefs within ourselves and all begin to look for ways we are
alike instead of separate. The ride is less scary if we all hold hands.
Big hugs. Have a great month!

Greetings from Home
We visit with you this day to tell you about what is taking place on planet Earth. First, let us share with you, dear ones, that you have already changed the outcome of planet Earth. You have already shifted the highest potential, for humanity is no longer limited by what you used to call your highest potential. There are opportunities now to find passion in ways that you only dreamt were possible. Each and every one of you has come with a part of Home that you need here to put this grand puzzle together in order to create Home on Earth. Some of you think you do not have anything. What do you have to say that has not already been said by someone else? Every one of you has a very unique piece of that puzzle and all of those puzzles are needed right now. Yet, it is becoming difficult. Not only are you transitioning and evolving incredibly fast, but so is the Earth.
Most of the changes that have already happened have set into motion some things which will affect all of you over the next 100-200 years. So, let us explain a little bit of what is ahead in a couple of different areas and how this will affect each of you personally. Let us go back a few weeks and talk about the Earthquake in Chile which was,one of the largest earthquakes you have had in this millennium. Not only has it changed the face of Earth, but it has shifted more than you know and has actually confirmed a few predictions previously made. One of these shifts is that the atomic clocks on Earth will soon need constant adjustment. Your atomic clock is no longer accurate on planet Earth.
Inner Earth is Growing
The inner core of Earth is what you call metal. It is actually an iron core. The next level, which is actually a very good part of the Earth, is what you would call molten or liquid metal. This liquid metal has always allowed the inside of the Earth to travel at a different rate of speed than the outside of the planet. Although the inside of the Earth is actually spinning faster than the outside, recently it has sped up and is moving even faster. It could even be said that the inside of the Earth is pulling the rest of the Earth into its orbit. This has been known for a very long time. However, what we wish to tell you is that this energy is now changing and has been speeding up. Your sciences do not agree with this yet, but we will tell you what they do agree with and what they do not. They have not found this to be true, but we are telling you that it is absolutely true.
The other thing that is happening is that this ball of molten metal has been growing. As it reaches certain levels it hits pockets of emptiness, or pockets that have formed through volcanic activity. This is what you are starting to see as the eruption of the Ring of Fire. There is much more to come. You are going to see activity in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. You will also see further activity in the Atlantic Ocean, but it will be less at this point. These are triggers and things we spoke about so very long ago. Now they are happening and your world is changing on a regular basis.
New Human Templates
Understand, dear ones, you are at a similar point where the dinosaurs disappeared from planet Earth but that is not going to happen to humans. Two things are happening: the Earth is changing to house a higher vibration not only of herself, but of humans, animals and every other part of it. The entire game is changing to begin a new game at a higher vibration. Secondly, your physical re-wire—your own physical bodies—are changing so that you can carry more of your own light and your higher self. Only a very small portion of your higher self is housed within the body for the temporary duration that you call a lifetime. Literally, only a small piece of it does…it is easy for you to see that you have one higher self and 11 aspects on Earth. So, 11 parts of your higher self goes into each one. However, the vast majority of your higher self does not fit into any of these aspects, including all of them together. That is about to change. You are now going to be able to carry more light than ever before in your physical body without having to go Home and without having to rid the Earth of the human race.
You will make this evolution while you are standing, walking, sleeping, playing, and loving on planet Earth. That has never been done before. That is the reason that all eyes in the universe are upon planet Earth right now. The six parental races that helped you form these physical bodies that you hold right now are back again to help. The interesting part is that they are fighting over who can help the most. But they are all here to work with you, because you are no longer limited by the same 500 human templates that you had in the beginning. You are no longer limited to that, which is part of the reason that your physical bodies are changing and your emotional bodies are growing.
Does Anyone Really Know What Time It Is?
We wish to tell you that the Earth has changed its relationship to time. Your relationship to time will also change, and what you do not know about it at this point is that you have control over how that changes. If you do not take charge in any way, the default answer is that time will shrink. Time has a natural tendency to shrink anyway. It is the nature of humanity because everything is relative. If you go back to when you were one day old, that one day is 100% of your lifetime. If you go back to the time when you were one year old that one day is only a very small percentage of your lifetime, so it has a tendency to naturally shrink as you age. Now we tell you that even the atomic clocks are noticing the difference. Big changes have happened as a result of the shift in Chile. Number 1: The Earth has changed axis; it is not on the same axis it was before. It has already shifted and your scientists are scattering frantically trying to figure out by how much and how we can measure it accurately, as they have noticed a major difference. It has been reported all over the world because the sun used to enter a window at a certain time of day and it now it is on a different schedule. Those times have changed throughout the entire world. Your scientists are looking for answers to describe what has taken place, but let us give you the short answer so that you can see what is happening.
We told you the molten part of the Earth has become larger inside the Earth and that part has been growing over the last few hundred years—especially over the last 60 years. As that has grown, the Earth itself is not as solid as you thought it was. The earthquakes in Chile and the earthquakes around the Ring of Fire, including the one in Haiti, have caused a shift of the planet not only on the axis. It has actually elongated the planet a little bit, almost as if was squished in the middle and got a little bit longer. Again, this is a point your scientists do not agree on, but we tell you that the process of making the planet just the slightest bit longer has also made it smaller around the middle. This means it rotates faster which is changing your relationship to time as we speak.
We encourage all of you to play with this concept you call time. Go back to some of your basics, for you have all studied ways of controlling time and learning how to project time into the future. You know that so much of it is held within your own belief systems. You believe it is accurate and you must live by this. The atomic clocks will not work for much longer, because they will need so much adjustment for what is ahead on planet Earth and some of the changes that are taking place. Embrace them. Do not fear these changes, for your reaction is actually what the earth needs to settle. Your reaction is the stability that you offer as Lightworkers not only with the Earth, but with other people around you.
A New “Wobble’’
These changes and the ones to come may create great
fear throughout many different places. You are the ones that can hold
that energy, the ones that can help to make it very positive evolution.
Let us tell you this as well…because of the planet changing her axis
slightly, what happened is that there is now a wobble. There has
always been a wobble in the Earth’s rotation. It is nothing secret. It
has always been known, but now that the wobble has changed and this
can create a circumstance for you that we wish to tell you about.
As we mentioned before, you have these up and down periods that you
are all going to be experiencing. But now it has become much stronger
than we ever thought possible. Some of the physical reactions to this
new wobble will be experienced as emotion. At times it will be
uplifting, such as joy or exhilaration, while other times you may feel
depressed as if you cannot seem to get out of bed. Those are simply
normal cycles, because you are a part of the Earth and she is a part of
you. As she is going through these changes they mimic and mirror
themselves in your bodies. This is part of how you can help to ground
this change and center this energy with her. Know that has affected you
and find the ways it can affect you positively.
Riding the Wave
There are points on this planet where you can now launch yourself. This has been done before through using astronomy and astrology to help find the perfect time to start your new business or a new project. You would always know the rotation of the sun around different planets, their alignment and how that could or could not support you. Now in addition to that, there is an entire wave of energy that slides the rug beneath your feet and shifts it in such a way as to send a wave down its length. The pull of that carpet will create high and low spots, as well as spots where you can launch yourself very effectively or be wrapped up in it and shut down. Once you are aware of these highs and lows you can learn the timing needed to make the highest use of it. We ask you to be very aware of how you are feeling, where that passion is and how you get this in the outside world, as well as your effect on other people around you. That will tell you whether you are doing your work or not. Position yourself so that instead of being wrapped up in this carpet as the big wave comes through, and instead of being overwhelmed and having to protect yourself from it, you are in just the right spot to be launched by it. That is why you are here.
You are the ones that carried the secrets from Home—from Lemuria and Atlantis—in hopes that humanity would ever reach a stage where you could come back and do it again. You are here. You made it. Each one of you has this opportunity right now to step into this energy and to position yourself at that launching point. We will tell you, dear ones, it takes tremendous courage to do that for you can see the energy moving. Some of you might want to put your little toe in, but you are not so sure about jumping into the water completely. We will come along and push you, if you only try to put your toe in. It is time. Each and every one of you came with specific timings that you wanted to be here at this exact time, because this is the time of the big shift. This is the when it is said that the shift is really going to hit the fan.
It is the time where you are going to be finding things changing in every place that you have been talking about for centuries on this planet. You find yourself in a position to put yourself on that curve. This is on a personal basis for each and every one of you, for if you try to use the normal standards that you have used for your own evolution they are not going to work the same way. In other words, you cannot count the vibrational lines of your evolution the way it used to be done. During these times we ask you to be kind and understanding of each other, as tempers can flare easily.
Economics of Earth
We also wish to speak of economics on planet Earth. You have many systems in place that have allowed you to exchange energy and to exchange money. You have a system called the stock market. We are so fascinated by that, for is so interesting to us that you have built an entire system based on the perception of perception of perception. We would never have dreamt to do that. It took humans to invent this entire process. Because of that, you have a perception of perception which is what your economies have been based on. You have gone through one of these ripples, dear ones, and it has affected the entire planet. You have had an economic event on planet Earth and it is one of these ripples that have gone through. We tell you, there are more of these ripples coming. In fact, there is a big one that is liable to come very soon. We cannot tell you when it is, because you are the ones that have the perception that determines when it is going to be. We also tell you that it does not need to be negative, for it can be a positive event. That is entirely up to you, but what we do tell you is that change is imminent in this area.
You had opportunities as this wave came through which took the air out of the balloon. All of a sudden this overinflated balloon shrank down to practically nothing. Now you are perceiving an economic recovery. You are seeing it because you perceive it. That is the way your system works—because you want to perceive it. That is exactly what is happening, yet the underlying fundamentals that had a chance to change during that explosion did not actually change. For that reason, until you see some fundamental changes in the way you do business on planet Earth you will experience more difficulties in these areas.
We also wish to reach into an area that the Keeper loves to stay away from, and we are going to talk about politics for just a moment. You are seeing a very interesting thing happening. It is occurring all over the world, but you can see it in the United States very clearly. It has happened since the incredible pull into polarity. As the new field of triality starts to come in and you have three positions from which to view things instead of just two. You have a new perception to see everything from. Yet it is difficult to truly grasp that new perception, to trust it, to understand what it means and how it works. We tell you that many of you are going through your a time where your own perception, ideas, and relationships are going to change, but that also happens on an economic level throughout the world. One thing you have all learned from this recent economic stretch is that all of your economies are connected. That is incredibly beautiful, dear ones, because it really means that you can no longer have a world war. Who would you be bombing? Yourselves? That is perfect because the blending together is what will change all of this. There are many high level officials that are now looking for this to happen, but the changes on planet Earth are occurring very radically and very quickly. Not only does this include the changes in the planet, but the changes in you, as humans, are also happening very rapidly. Because of that the economic systems that have supported you are likely to experience another one of these. However, if you know about it and are aware, you can put yourself in the highest position to create something positive instead of something negative. There will be difficulties with your systems on planet Earth. Now, how do you fix them? How do you change that? We can tell you what it looked like in the days when these systems worked, when you had empowered societies and that was the essence of the society. It was not, “How do we make money? How do we support ourselves? How do we live better?” Instead it was, “How do we empower the people around us?” That was the key element that existed in the days of Lemuria. It happened so clearly that there was no need for laws and you only had customs. It was incredibly beautiful and those days are returning.
The Soul of Business in the New Energy
You have a challenge in the way you define business so far, so let us speak first of the challenge because each person who makes up one of these collectives that you call business has a soul. The overall corporation whether it is made up of one person, five people or 500 makes no difference, for that company has a soul because it has an energy that acts as one. The moment you identify that place in the world, you can change the whole prospect of the company from the top down…all the way. What we are telling you is that companies that have only been in business for the purpose of making money will no longer be able to do that, because you are finding out it is an empty shell. There is no soul there. In the future we see a time when in order for governments to issue a permit for starting a business, it will also require that the company has a consciousness and that the company will do the best for humanity even if it is against their own profit. The company will bear the same responsibility that each and every one of you has as you walk down the street and past other people. That has not happened at this point on planet Earth. Now is the time to consider what you can do at your individual level wherever you work, whatever companies you own, or in whatever structures whether it is government or religion. These are the collectives of humans that will have to evolve very quickly.
Growing out of Polarity
This is a time where you can make a lot of these changes to result positively, rather than experiencing the cycles of fear and challenge. When you had an election in the United States, dear ones, you could not decide who was going to be president. One moment you found an extra vote over here and the next moment you found an extra vote over there. That started a stretch into polarity that was almost as if you were grasping for it. You started to move into a field of triality, but grasped for that old, familiar part. You hung onto it so tightly, that the whole world was laughing at your election and what was happening with it. Did it make any difference who won? Not really, because the reality of it showed the duality and the difficulties. In the United States you have not evolved past that, but now is the time to start doing this quickly. Dear ones, especially those in the United States, you have a very short time-frame that you can take hold of this and make something of it. We pray that the leaders can hear some of this message, because you have stretched so far into polarity that you do not know where the middle is any more. It is very important to come back to a point where nobody is right and nobody is wrong. It is a time to start figuring out how you and your neighbors are alike, instead of how you are separate. It is time to start figuring out how you can empower your people instead of spending your energy trying to lead them. Re-member, you have some of the greatest spirits on Earth and they are just waiting to go to work and spread light on this planet. If you make a space for that to happen, you will see great changes throughout all of planet Earth. It is happening now. It is taking place in many cultures, very quietly for most. Make your voices heard.
Now, how does each one of you deal with it? You say, “What can I do? I am not a leader of a nation. I am not a politician.” Dear ones, every one of you has a strong hold in the field of polarity. Every one of you believes something is right or something is wrong. It is so interesting to watch your news now, because the fight has gone on so long that no one can even re-member what the original argument was all about. So much fear has been created intentionally to dissuade all of the information on planet Earth that you are all in danger of losing your grip on reality, because you are believing and buying into the fear. Enough! You can see what is happening. There are no more secrets on planet Earth. Trust your heart. Do not allow yourself to get wrapped up in fear, for that is a luxury you can no longer enjoy…no longer afford. It is time to get serious about what you wish to do on this planet. It is time to know that you have the power to create your reality. It does not matter where you are in this ripple, what is taking place with planet Earth, what is happening with your relationships, your job, your home life, or your work life. You have an opportunity to put yourself at the pinnacle, and to actually do what you came here to do. We are behind you 1,000 percent, because our job is not to be here to tell you which way to turn or what to do. Our job is to help you re-member who you really are, because you came here with a very specific purpose. We love you more than you could ever know. It is not easy taking your wings off and pretending to be a human. You walk into many walls that way and we love you for it, for this job can only be done in the way in which you will do it.
We leave you with three little reminders. Treat each other with the greatest respect you have. Nurture one another and empower each other every chance you get. Play well together.
Espavo.

"Déjà Vu" is a common intuitive experience that has happened to many of us. The expression is derived from the French, meaning "already seen." When it occurs, it seems to spark our memory of a place we have already been, a person we have already seen, or an act we have already done. It is a signal to pay special attention to what is taking place, perhaps to receive a specific lesson in a certain area or complete what is not yet finished.
In “Second Sight” I describe many theories to explain déjà vu: a memory of a dream, a precognition, a coincidental overlapping of events or even a past life experience in which we rekindle ancient alliances. What matters is that it draws us closer to the mystical. It is an offering, an opportunity for additional knowledge about ourselves and others.
During a trip to Africa, Carl Jung described a feeling of déjà vu when he viewed a slim, black man leaning on a spear looking down at his train as it made a turn around a steep cliff on the way to Nairobi. He writes, "I had the feeling that I had already experienced this moment and had always known this world." Although this world and this man were something alien to him, he saw the whole thing as perfectly natural. He called this a recognition of what was "immemorially known."
In Western culture, we are brought up to consider anyone who isn't an immediate member of our circle of friends and family to be a stranger. Yet at times, you meet people whom you feel as if you have known for years. You can talk to them about anything and they understand. You laugh easily with them. The tone of their voice, the way they take their coffee, all seem commonplace. It isn't that they remind you of someone else or that their qualities are simply endearing. You relate to them not as strangers, but as people with whom you have shared history, members of the same tribe.
A patient of mine named Shannon knew that she was going to marry her husband the day that they met. She had dated a lot of men following her divorce, but none of them felt right. Then, she met Bob. There was something about the way he smiled, the glint of his hair, his voice and the shape of his hands, that made her think that they had known each other before. After talking it was clear that their paths had never crossed, but after their first lunch date, they became inseparable. What Shannon and Bob immediately felt for each other was more than just physical chemistry. It was a natural compatibility and a depth of intimacy that usually emerges after couples are together for many years. They were married two months after they met and have been together now for ten years.
I’m often asked how to tell the difference between a feeling of déjà-vu when we first meet someone and an attraction stemming from an addictive obsession. Some addiction specialists say that whenever you meet someone and an explosion of fireworks go off, this is a sign not of true love, but of one neurosis meeting another. They suggest that you run as fast as you can in the opposite direction.
Based upon my work with the recovering community, I agree that there is a strong tendency among addicts and some non-addicts to try to "fix" themselves with love and sex, rushing prematurely into relationships inspired only by intense physical attraction. They often have nothing to do with déjà-vu, but stem rather from a basic emptiness that longs to be filled. There is no true bond between the people involved, they hardly know each other, and these partnership attempts fail miserably when the pink glow of newness wears off.
The fact that an encounter feels compelling or immediate doesn't necessarily mean that it is healthy or unhealthy. The experience of déjà vu must always be approached discerningly. However, mostly déjà-vu experiences are not obsessive or compulsive. They rather convey a quality that is quiet and solid..
The possibility of having a déjà vu is inherent in partnerships of all kinds, particularly the more intimate ones. It can occur in business, friendships and family, often leading to pivotal outcomes that can impact the direction of our life.
There are situations that are glitches in time, when the rules bend and the mystery takes hold. Enchanted moments that sparkle. These are deja-vus. They can take place anywhere, at any time and with anyone. Your real estate agent might show you a house that feels so familiar and right, you instantly know it is yours. Or perhaps you are in a restaurant and sense an inexplicable kinship with a woman sitting in the back corner booth. Don't let these possibilities pass you by. Take notice; investigate. There is no way of predicting where each might lead or what it will teach you. Summoning the courage to take a chance and act on synchronicities, to have faith in what is not yet visible, will make the experience your own.
Adapted from Second Sight: An Intuitive Psychiatrist Tells Her Story and Show You How to Tap Your Own Inner Wisdom (Three Rivers Press, 2010) by Judith Orloff MD
We conclude today our three-part series:
Life's Gifts and Life's Tragedies - Making sense of it all
So many 'bad' things happen to good people. What's "up" here? What's this all about? How does the spiritual student make sense out of Life's gifts and Life's tragedies?
As it happens (there are no coincidences in the Universe) I am hard at work now on the biography of Barbara Marx Hubbard, a futurist and visionary of the first rank, and a woman who is changing the way we think it is to be human. In the chapter I am just finishing, I tell the story of how Barbara found out about the life-threatening (and, ultimately, life-ending) illness of her son, Wade. I should like to dip into a little of that writing here, because it is right on point....
Okay...from the book, then...which is titled THE MOTHER OF INVENTION: The Legacy of Barbara Marx Hubbard and the Future of You....
OCTOBER 2005:
Barbara is being driven by a dear friend, Carolyn Anderson, to Palm Springs, where she is to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association for Global New Thought, and will deliver a major address in the form of her acceptance speech.
It's a beautiful day and Barbara is enjoying the drive and the good conversation with Carolyn. Their lively exchange is interrupted by Barbara's cell phone.
"Mom, it's Wade."
"Wade! How are you, darling? I'm just on my way to Palm Springs to-"
-"Mom, I've received some interesting news."
Barbara does not miss the concern in her child's voice. "About what, sweetheart?" There was the slightest pause. "About what?"
"I've just been diagnosed with a major tumor." Barbara caught her breath. "They say it's fatal, but I don't believe it."
"Oh, Wade...where is it?"
"It's a brain tumor, Mom. They call it glioblastoma."
Barbara did not know it then, but in the medical profession they describe this condition with three words: Death Upon Diagnosis. Untreated, the average patient lives three months. With treatment, one to two years. Wikipedia says that the single most prevalent symptom is a progressive memory, personality, or neurological deficit due to temporal and frontal lobe involvement. Shortly, Wade began exhibiting all three. At this point, though, none of that was happening. Wade sounded perfectly fine on the other end of the phone-and very determined.
"I want that tumor out," he said.
Barbara told him that of course she would support him, and do everything in her power to see him victorious in the battle that both knew lay ahead.
Wade hung up and Barbara told her friend at the wheel what she'd just heard. "Oh, dear," Carolyn continued her drive in a deeply pensive mood. Within hours Barbara was to speak on the potential of humanity, and now she would do it knowing that her own son was threatened with death. If he had been in any immediate danger she would have canceled the appearance and raced to his side. But this was not the case, and they both knew it. So she pushed ahead and made the presentation-though what was anticipated as a light-hearted and thoroughly joyous occasion became for Barbara a very challenging evening.
She did not elaborate in her talk about Wade's circumstance, but she re-framed her remarks in the context of tragedies that are occurring in the lives of so many people in so many ways, at the same time that so many new possibilities are being born.
"Concurrent realities, I call them. They create the terrible dichotomies within which so many people now live," she told her audience. "The only way that anyone could hold a positive vision of the future would be to see our present-day circumstance in spiritual terms."
She paused for a moment, clearing emotion from her throat. "Many are dealing on this day with tragedy, pain, and suffering. And life invites us to call up the deepest faith, an inner `knowing,' that crisis precedes transformation, that problems are evolutionary drivers, and that there is nothing that happens that does not have a greater meaning."
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
What Barbara told her audience that night has struck me ever since she shared it with me. It echoes for me the wisdom I found in Conversations with God. It can be very useful for us to see that we are "brightening" and "burning" at the same, as I wrote in my analogy here last week. In that previous installment I asked:
"Can a flame be said to be suffering because it is extinguishing itself even as it illumins? Each illumination of the flame is the result of its own `burning up.' Is the burning up, then, less perfect than the illumination?"
The truth is, we are living (just as Barbara says) "concurrent realities."
Even as our flame burns to extinction, we brighten everything around us. CwG says, "Pain is pain. `Suffering' is our thought about it." When we see the events of our lives as All leading to our own evolution and the evolution of our species, we begin to, as CwG says, "see the perfection."
This is another thing that it is important to remember. We are not only "evolving" our Selves, we are "evolving" the entire human race. What we are doing, we are doing not only for us, but for every other living member of our species. What we are going through, we are going through not only for us, but for all other people. We are creating "memes," we are producing data, we are sending information into the pool of collective consciousness from which every sentient being extracts its knowingness. I want to speak more about this next week, because this idea of us all working for the rest of humanity is not one that is widely discussed or explored, but I think it should be.
For now, let me end this three-part series with this observation: Everything "bad" that is occurring---from the earthquake in Chile to the terrible explosion in the mine in West Virginia---is part of a Larger Process by which All of Life evolves. I know that it is very difficult to see that "silver lining" when you are one of the people whose husband or wife or child died in one of those tragedies...and so I also want to talk next week or in future weeks just ahead about the process of grieving, and how that can be affected and facilitated by moving to higher and higher levels of spiritual awareness.
So we have much to discuss in the weeks ahead. Stay tuned. Until next we meet here, I would like to leave you with a bit of poetry from my wife, Em Claire...
Whatever It Was
It is your own life that you desire to cherish
like one brings the downy tuft of a Dandelion to the lips
blows softly
prays
to give everything away
keep
only what remains
of a life well lived
a life well loved
nourished and blessed
by the suns and by the soils
and by whatever it was
that
finally
Opened You.

Last week I had a conversation with a good friend who shared a smart (and effective) exercise she uses to re-center herself when she gets her buttons pushed. As I listened to her describe the process, I knew I had to share it with you.
The next time you get your buttons pushed and you find yourself fixated on a negative experience, in the middle of a shame attack, or ruminating about something that's upset you, try this. Take out four pieces of paper and put one of the following four sentence stems on the top of each sheet:
1. I know I'm acting in alignment with my Highest Self when I...
2. The things that knock me out of alignment are...
3. When I'm out of alignment, the behaviors I engage in are...
4. The best actions for me to take to get back in line with my Highest Self are...
Once you have each sentence stem listed on a separate piece of paper, set aside twenty minutes to do a "mind dump" for each category. List lots of examples for each one. What do you do when you're at your best? How do you think? What actions do you take? What kinds of situations knock you off track? And then, what habits or behaviors do you engage in that keep you off track and feeling stuck? Finally, what do you do that helps you to re-center so you can get back in alignment with your Highest Self?
I intended to give you examples for each category but, after doing the exercise myself, I discovered that it's better not to have any preconceived ideas. They interfere with the process. So, let yourself go, write down whatever thoughts or ideas come to mind, and when you're done, I'm sure you'll learn something valuable about yourself. I know I did. I'll give you a way to share your experience in this week's Take Action Challenge. Have fun!
Take Action Challenge
Don't wait to get your buttons pushed before doing this exercise. Instead, give yourself the gift of twenty minutes and use what you learn to respond differently the next time you're faced with a challenge. I'll post each individual sentence stem on my facebook page this week and invite you to share your ideas. But, don't look until you've done the exercise yourself . And be sure to use what you learn to keep yourself empowered and on track!
This week's video is of the first woman on Rolling Stone's Guitar God list. I may have shared it long ago in a newsletter, but it's worth seeing again. She's fantastic! If you loved the movie August Rush, you'll recognize the playing style. Enjoy! You'll find it here.

Hi Cindy,
I'm not sure here, so just to check: did you send me
this story so I could redistribute it? Because even though it is addressed at a
mail address which no one knows is related to me, and my mail program flags it
as junk mail, it is absolutely the kind of story I could use on my weblog. But
I've just learned that all these mechanisms like spam, viruses, scams, etc. are
just that: mechanisms to get the word out.
So yes, I'll gladly post it, and it bears no copyrigh or
anything, so I safely could right? Also it is in a private E-mail to myself, so
I can safely quote since you didn't tell me it requires restriction.....
But just know I saw through the 'scam': I never
subscribed to veremail from admin@nothere.nl simply because at that
moment, I did not own the domain nothere.nl! But thanks for the very
appropriate confirmation that I'm on the right track.
Love your Light,
Dré
A message from...
Cindy
McAsey-Marketing Strategies Coach
As you study the meaning of this short story you will discover even though Maggie is a grown woman her mother is still teaching her lessons.
Maggie describes her 84-year-old mother as living on her own, by herself, in a small town in Vermont. She has 3 grown kids (including Maggie)who live in the same town. At least once a day, at least one of the kids checks in on her. One day in the late fall she was walking down her long gravel driveway to her mailbox. On her way back to the house, she stumbled, fell into the ditch and broke her hip. She lay there for four and a half hours before Maggie stopped by on her way home from work and found her. She called 911 and got her to the hospital.
The next morning Maggie was visiting her in the hospital and this is the conversation she described. She said to her mother, "Mom, weren't you scared laying there with a broken hip for four and a half hours? She said, "Not at all. I knew one of you kids would be by." Then Maggie said, "Well, you must have been in an awful lot of pain!" Her mom said, "Maggie, when I fell, I landed right in this pile of leaves, and they smelled sooooo good!"
Finally Maggie said, "Well, you must have been freezing because all you had on was a light sweater!" She responded, "You know, every once in awhile the sun would come out from behind a cloud and I don't think I've ever appreciated sunshine as much as I did yesterday." There was nothing he could say that would bring her down. Do you think that is because she "felt" that way? Or do you think that is because that is the way she decided to live her life? It's all about the choices we make every day of our lives.
Most people decide how they are based upon the circumstances - based upon their feelings at the time. One of the most important lessons that I've learned is that the feelings follow the behavior, not the other way around. Every day we get to choose our attitude by how we choose to behave. It's very difficult to behave one way and feel another. So choose a positive attitude, regardless of the circumstances.
If you wait for everything in your life to line up perfectly so you can have a positive attitude... your job, your business, your spouse, your teenage kids - you will never have a positive attitude. What do you think is more attractive in life, business or relationships? a positive attitude or a negative attitude? Which do you think will attract more success in your life? Which do you think will attract more abundance? Which do you think will attract more people that you want to be around and want to be around you?
The next time you hear someone say, "I'm doing pretty well under the circumstances." why don't you ask them, "Well, what are you doing under there anyway?"
I know some of you are thinking, "Well, if you had everything going on in your life that I have going on in mine, you wouldn't be enthusiastic and positive either." Then you miss the point.
Attitude is a choice.
It is 5% what happens to you and 95% how you choose to respond.
Know that this is true: you are beautiful. Take that in. Feel the truth of that inside of you. Keep feeling that. This is the Grace of God. Go you!
Know that, no matter what, you are not alone. With the real feelings of this Presence within you, now breathe deep and find the essence of Trust. This Trust is the great surrender to the Divine Plan for you. The easiest way to describe this is to say you are not in charge. At the highest level, it is not for you to decide or do, for it is already done. You have nothing to worry about. You have nothing to fear, nor do you have anything to remember except one thing: where is your connection? Where is your consciousness? Where is your allegiance? This is a feeling state, that when you have it sealed in every aspect of your being (the seven sacred seals are your primary chakra energy centres), then you have aligned, by your conscious choice, to your Divine Purpose. Your Divine Purpose is to live in a constant state of remembrance. And this is the truth of who you are! This is your Divine Purpose.
And so when you are in a constant state of remembrance of who you are, which is the Divine expression of your Godsource on Earth, then it is easier to accept the external shifting of Earthly life. When you think of the transformation of Light that has taken place within you, of course your external world must rearrange itself to accommodate your new vibration. This is a cause for celebration at a soul level! This is a deeper realization of your Truth in conscious expression.
Your human personality and the Earthly rules and the old paradigms of worry about what people think and that things are not working the way they “should” by those old definitions, is a painful time – but only to that aspect of yourself that is holding onto the old human rules and paradigms. Know what we mean? Your Divine Self is celebrating the greater expression of you! The mistake that is made is to continue to look outside yourself for reassurance or truth or what to “do”. It does not come from there. It comes from in here. It comes from keeping, no matter what, your connection with a Loving, open heart to Divine Source that is expressed in you. Feel it. Your brain is secondary. Your thoughts are there to help you process your feelings into concepts - but stay in the heart. The heart is where the Truth lies and where your pilot light burns with your Truth.
Keep your mind in check. Keep your mind from controlling you, for the mind only processes information from the past, for it cannot know the future. It is only a processor, like a computer. But the heart, the heart is your true source. Take dominion over your mind. This is what meditation helps with, along with music, laughter, friends, family, animals, nature…all this is to keep you heart-centred. This is a perfect day to remind you of this. And then you realize every day is Love day.
Heal the wounds of your heart. The sadnesses, the fears, the hurts, the yearning, the wounds - for these are all from the past. Do this by asking for this to be so. Be willing to let go of what has hurt you, in your known an unknown experience. Let Love in. Choose to be otherwise. Allow forgiveness to permeate your being so that it becomes compassion. Ask for the compassion of the Buddha. Ask to know mercy like Mother Mary, Quan Yin and Mary Magdalene. Ask for the courage of David. Call upon the lion to stand by you and the lamb to be in your arms. Call upon peace in your being.
Think of it this way: you are Source and were asked to come into a dense vibrational experience to expand the consciousness of Source. So you honourably agreed to come, manifest in a three-dimensional human form and be subjected to dense, dualistic human experiences. And now you remember that there is more. The spark has been ignited and there is no turning back. You are remembering, in each now moment, who you really are. You are the original Divine Spark, the big one – that is even so much greater than the little one that has been lit in you now. Consider the possibilities! They are as boundless as Source Itself.
Okay, so you have found yourself tangled in your previous human creations. That’s okay. Now that you know who you are, and remember in each moment, and move around life more and more and more expressed as Original Source, you are naturally, awesomely, perfectly, miraculously, mind-blowingly, Earth-shatteringly, always in the right place at the right time doing the right thing in the right way and nothing else matters but that. So you see, you don’t actually have to do anything other than follow the truth of your heart in the moment. Speak your Truth. Be your Truth. Love your Truth. Work your Truth. Exercise your Truth. Walk your Truth. Eat your Truth. Live your Truth. And do it all with Love. You see, if you are expressing the Big Love, then all things are right in your world.
So how do you know, you ask? Follow what makes your heart soar. Deal with the disharmonies with Love. Stop what doesn’t work and begin what does. Don’t push against anything. Love it to peace. Do not run away. Accept. Surrender. Love. And it miraculously works out. Trust. Trust. Trust. Divine patience in all things. There is a larger plan that you are not in charge of, so let go and let God. Your work is to find the love of God expressed through you and allowing your mind to follow your heart. Peace. Peace. Peace. The mind cannot find peace on its own, it must be governed. It must be trained. It must be chilled through Divine understanding.
So lovingly complete unfinished business. Wrap it up with Love. And begin to draw near to what pleases your heart! Surround yourself with supportive, uplifting experiences and people. Ask in each moment where you are to go and what you are to do…follow your own Divine inspiration. Do what brings you joy. If it doesn’t and you can choose otherwise, do it. If you need to do it, then find peace and love in it. Push against nothing. Resist nothing. It causes drag on your own heart, and hearts are meant to be free, unburdened, unbroken and unteathered. Nurture your heart in this way. Consider it your greatest gift, your deepest treasure – something to be healed and guarded and expanded and used!
In practical ways, it is important to get on doing what makes you happy. It is like when you are working in the garden and you need to weed and clear and dig and rebuild and redesign and invest and rearrange and reseed…all the while you are glad in your heart with each thing that you are doing…it doesn’t even matter what is or isn’t accomplished, you are just enjoying each now moment. And then, when you least expect it, and angel will tap you on the shoulder and there will be something else to do, somewhere else to go, someone else to share it with, something new! Just find peace in tending your garden. Relish in the beauty and serenity and simplicity. Be grateful for everything - the good, the bad and the ugly - for it is all Divine! Live in a constant state of gratitude. No matter what it appears like on the outside. It is all Divine inside. Worry for nothing, as that is old behaviour. And most of all, know that it comes from inside you. You need not do or get or have anything from the outside. Be at peace with who you already are. The answers do not come from outside you – even through this message – it is just prompting you to remember what you already know. Who you already are.
So. There is nothing to do. There is everything to be. Just radiate it. Be the peace of it. Know it. Share it.
And all the while you will have followed your own heart back unto itself…the Original Source that is you. In the meantime, you will have unfolded a beautiful life filled with all that you desire, because it is just the external reflection of you. You created it because you are the Creator. Make it beautiful. Make it more extraordinary beyond your imagining. This ends how it began, reminding you that you are beautiful. Feel it from the inside and all will blossom from there. It is not out there. You need none of it and when you have let go, you will realize you can have all of it. Just like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz!
You are Loved beyond measure. You are cradled in the arms of God. Remember to have fun and play and feel the lightness of your True Spirit.
Happy day of Love today and all days!
Rebecca

From Victim to Creator – Part 2
In Part 1 of this series I shared with you the final and defining moment of how, in October 2008, I came to decide to be the creator of my own reality.Obviously there was a lifetime of events that lead up to this moment and I am now still busy discovering what it means to make that decision.And that is what I want to share with you in this post – what DOES it mean to decide that you are the creator of your own reality?If you were to claim for yourself that you are “an eternal, immortal, creator being of infinite power” then what should you create?
Simply put, I cannot see that it is possible to make a buck in the world of business and still have your integrity in tact.
I found I could also no longer countenance all the endless chasing after money.All the polishing of egos and kow-towing that had to be done to people that I would otherwise not want to spend even a moment’s time with.All the stress and all the worry, all in the interests of a few pennies in my own pocket while I made strangers that I would never even meet much, much richer; the invisible owners of the corporation called “shareholders” that were the beneficiaries of everyone’s labour.
And that was just one area of the life I was living that was not right for me.There were many.Everywhere I looked I asked myself, “if I am a creator being, is THIS what I want to create?”And the answer was almost always “no”.
I didn’t want the city anymore with its mad traffic and all the aggression, crime and frustration.I didn’t want the inauthentic friends.I didn’t want the non-stop social events and wild parties that always ended with emptiness.I became disconnected from all the disconnect.
So the question arose - if this was not what I wanted to create then what DID I want?Given that I now knew for sure I did not want to continue living the life I was living, this was obviously a question that was in urgent need of answering.
Fortunately, I have a higher-self that is very kind to me.By the time I was ready to claim my own creator-status I had already found a way to show myself, in the clearest way imaginable, exactly what I wanted to create.Even though I didn’t know this was what I was being shown at the time.Does that sound cryptic?Allow me to explain:
In April of 2008 (which was six months before that final, momentous decision), Lisa and I were on holiday in an area of my country called The Garden Route. We have always loved it there and had holidayed there every single year for the past 15 years.It’s mainly the indigenous Tsitsikamma (pronounced Tzi-tzee-karma) forests on the slopes of the Outeniqua Mountains (pronounced Oh-ten-ick-wah) that draw us there.But there is something very special about the whole area.On this particular holiday we experienced something that changed us both forever.It occurred while we were on a hike in a particularly beautiful and unspoiled area.At some point the trail took us up a hill, out of the forests and onto a small plateau overlooking a spectacularly beautiful valley with a small river winding its way along the bottom running into the sea in the distance.On any given day, this would be the kind of view that I would stop and marvel at.It certainly was beautiful.But on that particular day, standing there looking across the valley at the forested mountains in the distance, something changed.The world around me was suddenly impossibly beautiful.Now, I could try to describe it – I could wax lyrical about the way the sun poured its light down on the earth like golden syrup.I could tell you that each leaf of every single tree looked like a perfect emerald jewel and that the wind through the grass set up a vibration that sang and hummed in my soul.I could tell you that I believed I could see with absolute and perfect clarity every single leaf and blade of grass right the way to the distant horizon.I could tell you about the quality of the air – that it had become gelid with the density of pure life essence that surrounded and interpenetrated me and all that was around me.I could throw pages and pages of such words at you in my desperate attempt to share with you the pure transcendent bliss of that moment and always I would feel like I am not even scratching the surface of what that moment was like.Perhaps I should simply say that I believe I saw God in the very Life of the forest on that day.My heart was opened and a portal was made there, through which I saw the world.For the very first time ever I really SAW.I saw with my heart and my soul instead of my eyes and my mind.And it was beautiful.It was more beautiful than I could imagine anything ever being.This amazing, mystical experience was beyond my ability to even begin to make sense of.I stood.I stared.I was awed.I felt.I knew.I belonged.
Striving for comprehension my mind eventually came up with an idea of what to do with this experience.It sent the thought out to the forest saying: “I see you!I love you!Will you accept us as custodians?”
And then I gained the presence of mind to wonder what had happened to Lisa.I had no idea how much time had passed since I had last spoken to her as we huffed and puffed up the steep slope.I turned to look for her.She was a few metres away, down on her knees with her back turned to me.I noticed she was shaking.As I approached her I realised she was crying.I got closer and I heard her saying over and over again; “yes… yes… yes…”
In that moment, it felt to me like she was answering my question on behalf of the forest.Or maybe the forest had asked her that same question and she was answering.It felt like Lisa and the whole of the forest and I were all one being and we were all speaking the same question and answer to ourselves:“Will you accept us as custodians?Yes… yes… yes.”*
After sometime – I have no idea how long – we noticed it was getting late and we had some distance to walk to get back to the car.Reluctantly, but with out hearts full, we walked back to the car in a kind of euphoric, blissful semi-trance.We both knew something life-changing had happened but had no way to make sense of it.
I am deeply grateful that Lisa experienced this with me.Partly because experiencing it alone would have made it altogether less meaningful but more so because if I had experienced this alone I would have known that I was now on a journey without her.An experience like this changes you.You are no longer the same person you were before such an event.Everything changes.Certainly your life path and all the things you have previously valued are substantially re-arranged.
And so it was that, six months later, when I hit the crisis which caused me to finally choose to release my own victim status and to begin to claim my own creator-status instead, I was ready.I won’t lie to you, I had a great deal of difficultly and discomfort letting go of victim in all its guises.I am STILL busy with the vestiges of that process.But at least I knew one thing… the most important thing… the thing that would pull me forward from then on.I knew that I wanted to create a life that brought me always to that state of connection that I had felt on the crest of the hill in the Outeniqua Mountains.I knew that I wanted to create myself as a part of that blissful Oneness.I knew I wanted to release those things that drove me into a state of separation and disconnect.I wanted the Light, the Life and the Love.I wanted it all.I know now that what Lisa and I experienced there was a true mystical experience.A truly transcendent moment.It was a moment of perfect Oneness with All That Is.And since experiencing that, the first time, I have known that what I wanted more than anything was to find my way to a permanent experience of that.
It was also clear to me that my Soul had a plan for me and that the forests of the Outeniqua Mountains were a vital part of that plan.I am deeply grateful to The One that Lisa felt exactly the same way.
And that is what we set about doing.
As I write this blog post we have just taken delivery of a huge stack of cardboard boxes.We are just about to begin packing up those of our possessions that are going with us in our move to the Outeniqua Mountains.Yes, we are actually doing it.We are moving.Lisa resigned her job.Would you believe it if I told you that, just before she resigned, she was offered a very attractive position in the South of France?Big money and all the ego-inducements that a sparkling career-path can offer.She turned it down.Would you believe it if I told you that I gave my business away?Two of my employees had shown such passion and commitment to the business that my heart told me that the right thing to do would be to give them the business.I did a six-month hand-over during which time I trained them in every aspect of the operation and then I walked away.Since then Lisa and I have sold our house, sold her zooty little BMW Z3 and are busy selling my Hyundai Tiburon.We are exiting all that.We have found our perfect piece of paradise in the mountains and we are in the process of buying it.As soon as my car sells, we’ll be be replacing it with a 4x4 pickup.We have cashed in all our investments and pulled ourselves out of all the fear based financial tools like insurance and retirement funds.These things are just not relevant to us anymore.We have pared down and simplified every aspect of our lives.The wallet-full of plastic in sharp metallic colours was taken back to the bank for shredding and accounts were closed.We now have one card and one bank account.We even have just one mobile phone between us.No store cards.No open contracts for anything with anyone.The load is light and we are free.
And so I am in strange place.My old life is over.It is behind me.All sorted out and tied off with a bow.And yet I am not dead.I am still here and very much more alive than I have ever been before.At age forty, I feel more vital and full of life than I have ever felt.I feel ready to begin again.I am ready to birth myself into a new life.But this time will be different.This birth will not start with me having to go through forgetting and physical birth and then learning how to be a human in a human society.Instead I will start knowing who I am and why I am here.I choose the stage setting to be the beauty and splendour of the Outeniqua Mountains.I choose to have the curtains go up with me and withmy angel-light lady-love and our dogs finding ourselves in a timber home on our land in the forest.I choose to have the main thrust of the plot of my story revolve around my journey Home.The quest to find my way back to the endless love and unspeakable bliss that calls to me from within my heart.Lisa and I briefly glimpsed it on that day but now I will find my way Home to permanent relationship with it.And when I find it next I know I will not just find a forest there.I will find all of Life there.And I will find You there too.
*If you want to read Lisa’s perspective on this mystical experience you can find her blog posting here.
In Part 3 of this series I will share with you the details of the life I am choosing to create and the spiritual significance of these new choices.You are invited to take a free membership of my website if you’d like to be updated on when new blog-posts are made. You will then also be able to leave comments on blog-posts.
Comment discussion - I'd really like to know if you have had a mystical experience of your own - and if so how this has changed your life. Something else I'd be keen to know is if you have given thought to the life you would create if you are "an eternal, immortal, creator being of infinite power" and if so, how that life might look. Please share with me these and any other thoughts that are appropriate by clicking on "comments" below.
