This channel had a number of interesting energies, the essence
of which is learning how to live in the moment.As you are aware, your
past is over, your future has not arrived; all you truly have is this
moment. When you are seeking to manifest or create within your life,
you can only do so through the moment in which you are living. Do you
have a story, something that represents the experiences that have in
some ways defined your life so far? It could be based on pain and
suffering, perhaps a time when you did or experienced something
marvelous. The point though is that your life today is focused upon
what happened in the past. Until you let go of whatever it may be that
happened, you will be remain in a place of resistance.
What
is compassion? Can you look at your life and accept that it is that it
is? When you infuse compassion into your life you open to even greater
potentials. Therefore you may keep the memories but you let go the
energies that tie you to the past. For many people if you take away
their ‘story' they feel cut off and adrift. So open to feel the true
you that lives behind or beneath your ‘story'.
Lastly
if you choose to have joy become the focus of your life, everything
that you are seeking will come with greater ease. And if the perception
is that it's not... then at least you can have fun along the way!! I'm
told time and again by the Goddess that we humans take our lives and
ourselves too seriously.This is a reminder to find joy in whatever way
that we can and allow it to flow through our lives.
Shelly
Nama
sika; venia benya I AM the one, I AM the whole
I greet you, beloved family. I welcome you with open arms to our
time together. I reach out to each person who is here; I say to you
welcome. I thank you for taking the opportunity to reach out and align
with me. I thank you for seeking to create a transition within your
life and doing so with me.
I feel as if there is such a glorious
light and energy that is moving in to the Earth plane at this time.
You hear constantly about the transitions that are taking place; you
hear constantly about vortexes of light and energy. You hear about
things that are happening to people in various ways, shapes, forms.
All
of it is real; all of it is a part of the experience that people are
having. It is this and even more. We have spent the last few weeks
speaking about Ariellis. Feeling her energies; feeling what it is to
you and recognising how much everybody is having an impact upon how that
planet is going to be used in the future.
The greater ease that
you have in flowing your energies from here where you are on Earth onto
Ariellis creates more and more pathways of transition. This is what is
creating the greater ease. There is more going on than what you
realise.
I have spoken of Ariellis as a separate planet from
yours, which it is. I have spoken of it as something that you transition
towards or into. You leave your planet and go to that one, as indeed
you can. Part of what is occurring as a result of what everyone here is
doing, plus all the others who are working with this energy, is that it
is creating a better alignment that allows for Ariellis and the Earth
to blend as if one is superimposed upon the other or perhaps to consider
it as if one is manifesting within. There's not an in and an out, an
up or a down, although it makes it easier for each of you to have a
greater understanding by thinking of it in those terms. For yourself,
consider what that means to you.
With that we will begin to
shift our consciousness. Have a sense of taking one more deep breath so
that you may breathe down within you as the human, as you do so have a
sense then of releasing your physical body. As you release allow your
consciousness to expand it very easily moves into the space of the
magnetic grid. As you arrive here within this space look around and
recognise the space of your higher self.
It is a place for your
expanded consciousness. It is a place for your awareness. Feel it as
if it's very comfortable to you. Have a sense of moving from there into
the crystalline grid. As you feel your energies move within the
crystalline, feel yourself releasing the magnetic pull of the Earth. It
is as if the crystalline vibration is so familiar and so comfortable to
you now; this it simply is you. It is your space. You need not reach
out as if you step into something that is not your own.
I have
commented many times on how much the crystalline grid has shifted. I
know that you are each very well aware of this. I invite you though, to
stop or take in this moment. Feel what it means to you to be within
this space. I get a sense that many of you allow your energy field to
be cleansed. You open up your senses and take in whatever perceptions
are here for you. And I think what is happening is that as you continue
your transition into a crystalline biology, whenever you come in to the
gridwork or this space, it's a time of using the vibration to clear out
debris, to clear out old energy, to clear out anything you are ready to
release.
Soak it up and take in you as you are more connected
within yourself. From here you may have a sense of shifting into a
separate dimension; allow yourself to move into the soul plane. As you
come within this space, feel what it is or see or sense what it's like
as you look at your divinity.
You come here consistently
therefore your divinity is here ready and waiting for you. You need
only open your senses and take in whatever information is here for you.
Allow yourself to blend fully with your divinity, so that you will
remember what it is to be here fully aligned. You remember that inner
knowing of how good it feels.
You are integrating more and more
of your consciousness within this space. I the Goddess move in and
amongst you and as I do so I reach out to embrace each one of you. As
we merge, we move into the All That Is. Feel what this is to you. Feel
your expansion; feel as if you're reaching out your arms and
expanding. Let this space support you.
Whenever we come
together for these journeys, I reach out to each of you and get a sense
of what you are interested in doing for the journey. As I reach out to
align with you there is a very strong sense of people feeling as if they
have been in limbo or as if they have been awaiting something that has
as yet not arrived.
In your human reality many, many things can
get in the way of manifesting what you seek to have. Sometimes it might
be the vibration that you emanate and that is a reflection of your
thoughts, your emotions, your intentions. There is always resistance. I
hear over and over from people that they want something so bad, they
want it, they've wanted it for so long, so why hasn't it happened? This
is a form of resistance.
Other times people are seeking to
have something within their life and perhaps there's a sense of them
that says ‘hey, that would be nice but I don't know if it's for me'.
That is a form of resistance. Indecision - do I want it or do I not?
This is a form of resistance. It could go on and on. And it may be
that as I'm speaking there is something within what I say that resonates
with you. It may be that nothing in that form resonates with you; you
have moved into a different place.
Whatsoever it is, I say let's
just bring it up while we're here within the All That Is. Let's begin
by bringing up one thing or perhaps a series of things if it takes a
series to get to the end result. But bring into your consideration
something that you would like within your life. As you think about
whatever this might be, let it come in with as much energy as you can
come up with.
Make it as real for you as you can. The more
real that this becomes, the more you have to create an alignment with.
Consider as if you are a third party, as if you are separate from
yourself, and you see yourself where you are right now and you see where
you would like to be. There are threads of energy and light that move
back and forth. You may have one or two thin little threads; others
have as if a solid wall of energy that aligns you with whatever it is
that you seek to have.
Here in the place of creation, allow
yourself to consciously release anything that may be getting in your
way. You may know very well what it is, you may not have a clue. It
matters not. Simply let go and allow yourself to step into what you seek
to have and as you're stepping into whatever this scenario may be, feel
as if you reach out and you touch whatever it is. Feel as if you are
talking, laughing, enjoying the moment because it's here, it's
happened. I hear some of you saying ‘finally'. So you take it in. You
allow.
Let that slide away from you. As you do so you may
have a sense of sending it downward. So that it comes into and around
you in your physical place. As it moves into wherever you are there may
be a need to send out threads of energy that link whatever your
creation is from you to whomever it whatever it may be so those threads
of energy and light move out from your physical reality.
There,
it's done, it's complete! It's as if there was a burden or an energy
that was there almost like sitting on your back or sitting in your
consciousness as if it was keeping you from being able to look at other
things until you completed that. It's done, so release it as if you are
blowing out a big breath of air; just release it and let go and clear
out any of those old particles of energy or light.
This is now a
time when you can think about what's fun. How much fun do you have in
your life? How much joy is there in your daily activities? Let
yourself feel as if you are soaring through the Universe simply for the
joy of it. Feel what it is to let your consciousness expand in every
direction just because. What would it be like to live without
expectation; to live without the burden of having to ‘heal' something,
‘fix' something, ‘do' something?
What is your life if all you
need to do is feel joy? In this moment as you are here in the All That
Is or soaring throughout the Universe as some of you did, let joy come
up even bigger and more expanded than it was. As if you are riding upon
a wave, as if joy is limitless. And as you feel this joy moving
through you, let go anything else, let go of anything except the feeling
of joy.
What a relief that is! It's a relief to feel that
deep of a sense. It's a relief to let go those burdens you've been
carrying around. It's a relief to let go of the expectation that you
have had. Oh boy, life without expectation. As you consider life
without expectation or without anything except to be in a space of joy,
it transitions many, many things or opportunities. Let us shift onto
Ariellis again.
Having released in such a way and then aligned
yourself with joy, what is your perception of this space? Um hmm, joy is
the foundation of the energy for Ariellis. Living without the same
kind of rigid guidelines is another experience here. I so very much
love the human experience because I find I am seeing it already, that if
there is a total space of joy or lack of expectation, people consider
it boring. People say ‘well, what do we do with ourselves?'
It's
as if simply existing and emanating who you are is not enough; you need
more. And that's okay. Because that is so much a part of what the human
experience is upon the Earth it's okay to let that be a part of your
life. But I invite you to come here and have a hiatus; take those
little mini vacations. Be in this space of Ariellis where you can walk
around, you can experience your life, you can practice whatever it is
that you may want to practice, then take it all back into your daily
life.
As you stand here upon the surface of Ariellis and as
you're looking around, ask to look with your inner eyes just to see the
earth. What is your perception? Does it give you some assistance in
expanding your perception by viewing it in this manner? You may look
around at the Universe. You may have a sense that there is so much
energy moving towards and around the Earth at this time. Here from
within the space of Ariellis, you put forth the intention to align with
whatever that energy is and you can feel it coming within you.
As
you align with whatever this energy may be, feel how it gives you a
sense of vitality. Feel how it strengthens and enhances everything that
is you. Let this flow through you as these energies are making their
way onto or into the Earth.
As you think about your life. You
have your story; you have a lot of drama or a little drama. As you look
around, how is that story impacting you within this place? It has had a
significant affect upon you in your time on Earth. Sometimes even when
you go beyond Earth, returning back within your I AM presence, it still
has an affect upon you. There are many, many things that seem so
intense and so important to you in your daily life. Yet when you take a
step back, it's a little blip, it's a little bump.
As you stand
or move through this space where joy, love, awareness is the
foundation, and where you are without any structure; have a new
perspective for the drama experiences of your life. Sometimes this will
give you a greater clarity that will help you understand. Other times
it may help you to see it's much better to let it go, just drop it,
just let it go. Breathe in awareness. Breathe in understanding.
Breathe in complete love and acceptance. This is you. This is you all
the way down to the smallest particle, all the way up through your
physical being and beyond. Breathe and allow.
Do you have a
sense of how Ariellis is beginning to feel much like the All That Is or
the crystalline grid or the soul plane? It is as if the energies as
they overlap are blending and creating alignments that allow for there
to be a greater ease in moving, moving your consciousness, moving your
awareness, shifting energies. The more that you are in the moment,
allowing your focus to be here within this space and allowing yourself
to feel the joy, the easier it is to shift.
Come with me; feel
yourselves for a moment, here in Ariellis and then feel the soul plane.
Look around, have a sense. It is different. There are similarities.
Shift into the crystalline grid; feel the huge variation of energy that
is represented here. From there shift back into the All That Is; feel
this too as each of these have had their very subtle differences.
And
then reach towards the Earth. Because you are human, because you are
living upon the Earth, you get the greatest differences in perception.
Look at how much of these higher vibrational energies infuse more and
more of the Earth-bound reality. What would you like to see for
yourself? The joy and the awareness of being who you are; just simply
you are that you are. This allows you to experience a greater and
greater depth.
So coming back around into the All That Is, you
have the ability to shift as easily as that anytime that you seek to do
so. You have the ability to let go the drama of your life. You have
the ability in each moment to be focused upon a joyful existence and
then everything else falling into line from there. Yes, this can be
your reality!
So with that, come back together as a group. See
this hologram of the Earth. You see the hologram of Ariellis. But this
time it's as if there is a sense of all that various energy that is
coming from the Universe also coming into these holograms. It is all
related. It all has a sense of alignment. As you allow your energies to
be transmitted into the hologram, infuse the energy or shall I say
infuse the knowledge that you have within your life what you seek to
have. If there is anything less than that, breathe in the joy and
consciously release resistance.
Do you see how the holograms
transition as I speak of this? It's as if they reflect the varying
light and energy as each of you shifts your consciousness and your
intention. See it with the holograms and so too that is what occurs
upon the Earth. It is much more than what you realise. It is also much
simpler than what you anticipate.
So release these holograms;
allow them to move through. They move in every direction, moving out
through the Universe, moving down around the physical Earth, around
Ariellis and they are actually moving through each one of you. Feel
yourself as if you are looking down or looking inward, then open to ask
is there a message. Feel it, allow it, experience it.
Allow your
consciousness to begin to move back into the soul plane. You pause
there for a moment and then you shift your focus into the crystalline
grid. As your energy flows through the gridwork it comes into contact
with the magnetic grid. Here once more you feel the pull of the Earth;
you feel the pull of the gravity. But it is different, it is shifting.
Allow yourself to continue to move downward. Feel as your
consciousness fully returns within your physical body. As it comes back
within your physical body, adjust your shoulders, your back, your head
your neck; whatever it may be. Breathe deeply breathing all the way
down within yourself. As you do so you begin to anchor these energies.
You anchor the consciousness of joy. You anchor how it feels to have
let go the drama or the story of your life; you anchor how it is to live
in the moment and allow joy to be your guidance.
You also anchor
once more what you created at the beginning but look - there are subtle
changes, because now you have let go your story or your drama. Allow
that all to flow through you; experience it for what it is. Continue to
anchor your energies. Continue to allow yourself to come back within
your physical body and as you do so you are welcome to come back within
this room.
I open to receive any questions that you may have.
You may press *7 upon your phone and that will put you into the queue so
that I may speak with you. As we await the first person I invite you
to also focus upon feeling joyful in this moment.
Question:
I would like to know what would be most beneficial for my continued
spiritual growth at this time.
Answer:
Alright beloved, as I'm linking with you I get a feeling of a couple of
different things I'd like to share. First of all, you are much further
along your path than you give yourself credit for. I have a sense as
I'm looking at you that there are so many ways you receive communication
and so many ways that you communicate with your divinity, with your
angels, with your higher vibration. Then when it comes into your human
self, she is not always picking up on or realizing that is where that is
coming from. So it feels to me that the next step you are taking is
to first of all acknowledge that you have already done a great deal of
education on and within yourself. By accepting and acknowledging that
it will take you on the next step of your journey which is to have a
human personification of all this ability that you have. Does that make
sense to you at all?
Yes it does, I do feel that.
We feel also that you don't need to do as much of the external work
as you do creating of the alignment. What we mean is that if you take a
class; by all means do so for the joy and fun of it. But don't feel
you have to take a certain number of classes, take a particular course
or get a particular attunement; you don't have to do any particular
process. You need only do what feels good and then open to the
acceptance of that. Beloved, as I'm saying, you are much further along
than you realize.
Thank you.
You are very
welcome. Whew! We felt this surge of energy go through as you said that
thank you. It was as if you opened and accepted at that moment and
then a surge went moving through you. So we simply say be open and
allow.
Question: Hello Goddess? With
tonight's channeling I would like to ask how much it has helped my
physical body with its transition.
Answer: it
feels as if you physical body is holding onto old energies of this
lifetime. By that I mean if feels like there has been a great deal
you've gone through physically, mentally, emotionally; your physical
body that has manifested the emotional and mental trauma or experiences
also. What I saw you doing tonight during the journey as you were
letting go of the pathway you have been upon. You were letting go of
your story. You were letting go of the past in essence, what you were
doing was also creating a shift in your molecular structure so that it
could allow you to manifest a more healthy, but that's not really the
word we want. We see your body as more crystalline. It's as if in the
integration of the crystalline body you are releasing and letting go of
more and more of the density. You have already done a great deal of it.
You are in the stage of integrating further and further what you seek
to have in the future. Does that resonate with you?
I
hope so!
It doesn't feel that way to you? Even
with this journey tonight?
I can feel my molecules
vibrating very good. I've done so much work and I've felt lately a
couple symptoms that have thrown me off track.
So those
symptoms you are feeling that make you feel as if you are thrown off
track, recognize that that is an occurrence that is happening simply to
give you a heads up to reaffirm what you want to have, to reaffirm what
you know you have within yourself. You know right in this moment. So
if you forget at some point which is basically what happens when you get
thrown off track; you acknowledge that experience for what it is and
then you bring yourself back into balance once more. We see that it is
happening less and less often and when it does happen, you are coming
out of it more quickly. Is that your experience also?
Ummm,
yes.
So that's the best way to look at it we believe; that
feeling or that sense that you can come back into balance with greater
and greater ease.
Thank you.
Just one last
thing, you are also living your life with greater and greater
percentages of a balanced life.
Thank you.
You're
welcome.
Question: Goddess, I accepted an offer
on my house and it looks like I have to be out by the 30th of this
month. I am wondering if my next step is exploring New Mexico.
Answer:
Let's see what we find for you. We feel as if there is some resistance
in you. We think its fear because you don't really know where you're
going to go or what you are going to do. This fear that we see as we
look at you right now is holding you where you are rather than opening
to potentials. So let me breathe with you for a minute beloved. Let
both of us just breathe in slowly and deeply. As you are breathing
within yourself, feel my energies as I merge with you. As you breathe
out, consciously let go the fear, let go the resistance, let go of
anything. (Shelly took a deep breath in and out.) There, okay now it's
much more open! Now we have a sense of seeing several different
opportunities. As soon as we looked at you, we saw Oregon come up, we
saw New Mexico come up, we saw LA, we saw the Sedona area like Flagstaff
and then we even saw Colorado. We felt as if from where you are, these
shooting stars went out to multiple different places. The sense we got
from that is that you can choose any one of them to be your next place
to go. They all have potentials and opportunities. So when you go back
within yourself, when you think of what is joyful to you and what would
make you happy to go do; let that be your guidance. It feels to us as
if you've been holding up a burden for a very long time and the burden
is about to be released with the sale of your house. That is the final
closure.
We sense the next step for you is about finding the
place where you can just let yourself go. You can let yourself relax,
you can let yourself unwind. It feels like there is a friend around you
and you are staying with this friend. She is someone who really knows
you, she knows you deeply, deeply, deeply. You don't have to be strong
any more. You don't have to do all these things. You will stay there at
least a few weeks if not a month or even two months. From there it
feels like you can get a better balance of where you might decide to
permanently move. For the first step that's what it feels is going to
happen.
Is this my friend in Arizona, Prescott Arizona? (In
Flagstaff?) No in Prescott, Arizona, my friend in Prescott Arizona.
Okay, let's see. It feels like that but it feels different. Tell
us her name and let us see if that gives us a better sense.
Tory
Bowen.
You know, it does not have a great resonance around
it. It feels like there's a potential, but it feels like there is
someone else. It's so hard to describe her! To us it feels like she is
very much in alignment with you, it feels like she is standing here
with us right now. It feels like.... Um.... We're asking her why hasn't
she sent the invitation yet and it feels like she's been doing
something or something was going on and she didn't realize you were so
close to selling your house. We're trying to get her name. It's coming
out like Anna or something like that. We have a sense of dark hair,
glasses and like she's jabber, jabber, jabber, jabber; she's talking a
lot. Anyway, we do feel some resonance around your friend in Prescott;
it's just not a bright light resonance. So we would say keep your
resonance open. Maybe go down through your address book and kind of
revisit people who have been good friends to you. It may be that you
have kind of lost contact with her over the years, but it's the kind of
friendship that is never fully gone away even if you don't talk to each
other for a time. We just sense that you will know. We wish we could
give you a better name or idea. If indeed it is this friend in
Prescott, then go for it. Go for what YOU know to be your truth and
your instinct. Alright beloved?
Thank you very much.
You're welcome. We feel that with answers like that it's clear a
mud! We're sorry that sometimes that is the way it comes out, but
that's the best we can do in certain circumstance. Sometimes days or a
week or two needs to go by before more and more becomes apparent. So
give it that time and allow things to unfold as your best bet. Alright
beloved.
We had a bit smaller group tonight and it looks like we
have called on everybody. We ask you not to ask a question if you have
done so recently, but please go ahead.
Question:
Hi Goddess, I have a question. Today I felt such overwhelming sadness
that just goes to the depth of my being. I noticed that this has been
going on with me for a long time, it's getting stronger I think because
I'm working with Shelly, things are coming up. I have a really abusive
mother and sometimes I feel such deep sadness. I'll be going through
the day and doing okay and all of a sudden I feel this wave that is so
overpowering and it's getting stronger. You know Goddess, I feel so
broken, so dysfunctional. I'm wondering if you can help me with this.
Answer: First of all beloved, let us reach out. I
am opening up my arms, we're reaching out our energy and I'm flowing my
energy into and around you. Let us first of all come in and create a
space of support for you so that we can support you, can flow this
energy; can help you let go of this deep sadness and pain you've been
experiencing. The next thing we want to do as you allow that to flow
within you --- we know that you have been working a great deal with me
and with the group as you work with Shelly--- but in the space where we
are right now, we're going to work again with releasing any lingering
energies that have to do with your mother; letting go anything at all
that has to do with past experiences. This journey in particular for
you is very profound. We think that is one reason you were feeling that
sadness all day is because you were having an opportunity to let go
that past experience. As you are breathing deeply within yourself, you
link to that story that you had in this lifetime, the experiences of
this lifetime. You release that. You step out of that book and into a
new book, one of your creation, one that you start from scratch, one
that begins right here, right now! You are now going to be writing a
book of your life that is filled with joy; every thought, every idea,
every experience is based in joy. As you move forward, if you have
sadness or anything that lingers from the past, then recognize it is
over, it is past, it is done! You are going to breathe in the choice
that you are moving forward. You are breathing in that you choose joy,
you choose love, you choose a new beginning for yourself. Can you feel
those energies shifting beloved?
I feel the warmth coming
through. Sometimes it's so overpowering I ask the father to take me
home because I just can't be here anymore. It hurts so much and I just
can't take it anymore. In my heart, in my being, every cell is
suffering. It's just too painful to be here anymore Goddess. I'm so
sorry.
So use this as a moment to release all of that. Let
it go, let it flow away from you. Of course if you did choose to
transition, God is here, Goddess we are always ready to receive you with
open arms. But we both see that you have a life that is filled with
experiences of what it is like to be beyond this; of what it's like to
be fully healthy and fully cognizant within yourself, for you to be in
that space where your heart center is open and your love and awareness
flows through your heart at all times. So you are moving past this, you
are moving through this, you are creating a new beginning.
It's just so hopeless. I got broken when I was young and I'm just not
fixable. You know I missed the beginning of your conference because it
was playing music. So when you did the releasing thing, I missed it.
Well, you still experienced it. We talked about creating a
new story for yourself. Yes all of these things happened. Yes they
had a humongous impact upon your life. But it does not have to be that
way going forward from here. You've done all the work, you've done a
tremendous amount of work. So remind yourself that you do have those
moments when you feel good. You do have the time when you feel things
throughout you. Let those moments be what grows bigger and bigger.
What about this sadness? It's so overpowering. Why does it
come upon me?
Because you are releasing it, because you are
bringing it up. As you continue to release the layers that held it
intact, or held it to you; it's as if it's an old memory or pattern
that comes around.
Can you help release or clear whatever
needs to be released so it can't hook on?
We don't have a
sense of it hooking onto you anywhere. We don't know why you are feeling
it so strongly today. To us as we look at you and see you, we see you
as a bright light that is there within you shining forth. We see as if
it's a small aspect or one or two aspects of you that feel that sadness
or old lingering pain. If anything, breathe within yourself with the
conscious intention to align with the rest of you that you may release
this energy and release this sadness. You can do it and you are doing
it.
Thank you. Do you see hope for me?
Always,
there is always hope for everybody.
Question:
It was a great experience for me tonight and my brain felt like a cell
phone! Like it was going from one side to another. Then I felt a
pressure and pain in my gums. I'm wondering if this problem or energy
that is stuck there will be released now. I have a problem all the times
since I exist.
Answer: You mean gums in your
mouth? (Yes) It feels to us as we look at you as if, it's like those
stories or those various life existences have been lingering with you or
sticking to you more than what you realized. It feels as if you've let
them go and let them go, stepped outside; but yet something within you
was still holding on, perhaps more than what you realized. It felt like
with this journey tonight you were releasing those last threads of
something you had released before. It feels when we look at you now as
if there is much greater clarity. Almost when you came back as if you
said ‘well wait a second, who was that person, was that somebody
different, was that my sister, was that somebody else?' It feels as if
there was a much greater clearing as if a profound transformation has
taken place. As we look at you now, we see you with the much greater
balance and awareness.
Thank you, that's what I felt, that
finally something was released.
So coming back to your
gums and teeth; it feels as if there has always been a sensitivity about
that and it will continue. But it doesn't feel like it will be as
painful as it was in the past.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome!
All right beloved family, thank you as always
for coming in and sharing this evening with me. As you are living your
life I remind you to let go the drama, let go the story, let go the past
existences that may keep you turning around and turning around in that
same space.
You have the ability to create your life. You have
choices in your life, so open and allow those choices to be based on joy
and based on love.
I am ever with you and within.

Questions Re: the “Higher” Self
Melora through Joanna Neff (Jyoti Alla-An)
Following is an edited transcription of a Melora session in which both my and a friend's questions about our relationship with our respective Higher Selves are answered. It is clear that even if we don't/can't sense Higher Beings, it doesn't mean that they are NOT there! So it is with our Higher Self. By including more personal aspects of this session, I am letting readers and clients know that I undergo my own spiritual struggles from time to time. What Melora refers to at the end of the article is that since I had not worked with Melora directly for almost two years, I wasn't at all sure she would "be there" for me for this session. Right before we began, I felt the old, familiar Melora energy very strongly, and then I knew we would have a powerful session.
(from a session with a friend on 7/12/09)
MELORA: We are Melora, and we welcome you today. Your question prompts us to say something about the relationship with one's Higher Self. People who believe that they should follow whatever their Higher Self "wants" for them are opening themselves up to enslavement, either by their Higher Self or by some being masquerading as their Higher Self . . . like an astral entity. You all are allowed free will, and you can trust yourself to make decisions as a being. You can trust that you have the right to make those decisions for yourself in this embodiment, to be happy with those decisions and not to worry about whether your Higher Self approves.
Now, in our discussion of soul hierarchies-and in our discussion of the Higher Self's role-we have explained that the Higher Self does indeed get these "spiritual brownie points" earned by the sufferings and travails of the embodied versions of you. We don't mean to sound sarcastic about this, but in the Earth zone-because of the density and the darkness-suffering seems to be the only way that people's souls can advance.
However, in reality, suffering is not really required for soul advancement. We hope you are understanding our answer. Suffering only seems to be what purifies people, that advances them or makes them grow. It is not really the Higher Self that created the situation in which only suffering advances the Soul. Thus, you have the right to trust yourself to keep advancing at the Soul level without suffering.
The next step in that deductive process, or that rational line of thought, is that your Higher Self would embrace choices you make that would liberate you and make you feel wonderful. It's only those in embodiment, and those "historic" and experiential illusions that all the great saints had to suffer or to be martyrs . . . that is at the most extreme degree. Those beliefs have a grip on many, or most, people, and those beliefs can be resolved and changed by your free will and your intention.
Our Jyoti is showing us the character Scarlet O'Hara in "Gone with the Wind": "As God is my witness, I will never be hungry again!" Those moments of life-changing, gut-wrenching commitment and intention enable you to manifest what you really want. Until you have that level of commitment, you will go back-and-forth, as on a see-saw.
ER: Speaking of Higher Selves, in a way it's almost like they're wanting us to make our own decisions, because that's how they experience things through us. It's not like we come in with everything already pre-set. We may have some kind of thoughts about some of the things we want to accomplish in this lifetime, but there's quite a bit of freedom to attain that in different experimental ways. Do I understand that correctly?
MELORA:Yes! We have said that in your Soul Group, for example-and your Soul Hierarchy-as that expresses at "your end" of the hierarchy, in embodiment in third-dimension, you do have motifs as a group or as a hierarchy and issues that you want to explore when you come into embodiment in every lifetime. So, for example, the Pallas Athena motifs would be Freedom, civilized behavior, the arts, Truth, Courage . . . do you see? You will come into embodiment with these being impressed at the Soul level, but then once you get there, anything can happen. As a result of those impressed motifs that you have chosen to explore, you will attract certain experiences to you, but those experiences have not been selected ahead of time.
ER: In my soul group or hierarchy, what are some of the motifs that we're trying to embody or that kind of characterize our lineage.
MELORA: It is interesting that what we're being given as a motif for you is more what's holding you back. For example, you can say somebody is stubborn and judge that as "bad," but the flip side of that is that they're also very loyal. If you throw out stubborn, you throw out loyal. Answering your question has to do with something that is similar to that, regarding what's holding you back.
There is such a drive for integrity in the way you conduct yourself and appear to be to others whom you serve. We realize this is very convoluted, but we will give you some examples to try to explain. At the core of what we're trying to describe here is your requirement for dignity and to be treated with dignity. At the same time, you have a desire to "let your hair down" and not be up on a pedestal, because you have found how much pressure is involved in maintaining that-and that the dignity is not worth the loss of freedom and expansiveness that your Soul would really like to experience. And so at the core of the dignity motif would be integrity of being.
Now, where we are, we are not as hard on you as you are on yourself about what integrity means. In this world, what happens is that you have all this propaganda from the church and society-socially current delusions, and whatever. Whenever you fall for those structures, it goes against your being-ness. In a way, you have yourself shackled because of looking at the reflection back from things that are not really appropriate to tell you about whether you're in integrity or not.
ER: Yes. Could you give me another example?
MELORA: We will keep going, and of course everything about you is complex.
ER: [laughs] Thank you.
MELORA: We're trying to get there. Integrity of Spirit requires you to love yourself (not out of ego), and so if you're kind to all of these people but you're not kind to yourself, you come out of integrity with yourself. It's not okay to mistreat yourself any more than it would be okay to mistreat others.
Back to integrity, what we're receiving is that your concept of integrity places a burden of behavior upon you in certain situations-especially professional situations-that fills you with tension and that makes you feel constricted. Even though you need to feel the dignity, you need to feel the respect, and you need to feel that you're serving, it's kind of been backfiring for a long time. It's not really giving you what you need, and it's not really expressing who you are as a being in integrity. What we're receiving is that the more you pay attention to, and respond to, your being-ness regarding this motif, the more happy rewards you will get.
All of the impediments to your being-ness have to do with 3rd-dimensional concerns, and so trusting yourself, as a being, that you will be able to actualize your dreams is the sticking point here.
ER: Definitely. And then one last question for me about my guides: I have a duality here. I feel like I'm always in contact with them, but then I don't think I am at all. I think I work with them so much with my inner . . . that I think they're such a part of me that I don't even feel them anymore or acknowledge them anymore. I know that sounds totally crazy, and I can't put it into words.
MELORA:You know, our Jyoti has discussed this with us before, and we have said that your guides are always there, whether you're aware of them or not. This might apply to our Jyoti's question. We'll see. Your guides may not be the same guides that you used to have, and so you are perhaps feeling that they're not there because they're not the ones you're used to. There are so many stimuli around you, and so much information coming in that you're intuitively receiving, and so forth, that there's just kind of a lot of static, and you just need to "tune into that station"-the frequency of those guides-on purpose. And all you have to do is ask.
There's a main guide with male energy-an almost monk-like energy, but not in any oppressive sense. This guide is choosing this energy and form as a quasi-religious figure: someone you would call "Father" and that you would trust, but not the stereotypical Catholic monk. More like Francis of Asissi that you trust as a being and would call "Father." That's what the energy of this guide feels like. It really is someone you would go to, not as a father confessor but as someone to ask advice of and counsel from.
ER: I would like to address some of the questions that my friend, Jyoti, has in regards to this incredible sense, sometimes, of separateness--
MELORA: All the time . . .
ER: --or aloofness from her Higher Self . . . whether this is an intentional thing. If you could clarify that for us a little bit more.
MELORA: Yes. We would be happy to do so. We heard two things right off the bat. The first was how many times in our Jyoti's lifetime people have mistakenly considered her to be aloof and indifferent, when actually she is quite the contrary. We could call it an introversion that is energetic and not just an expression of our Jyoti as more introverted than extroverted. It is a whole different way of perceiving reality and reacting to reality when you're an introvert, versus when you're an extrovert. And yet this is the way she perceives her own Higher Self to be: indifferent and aloof.
The second thing is that our Jyoti's concept of her Higher Self and her attempts, if you will, to connect to her Higher Self, largely are intellectual-largely come from her mind, not her heart. These attempts also reflect a total lack of nurturing and parenting in her current lifetime. So her reality, for example, practically since birth, has been: "They don't care about me; they don't like me. " There's no parental connection that allows her to look at herself as having any sort of parental-type connection or to accept the possibility of that. (This is not the answer she was expecting.) And so, her Higher Self would respond if our Jyoti could approach her Higher Self from her heart, which is a very difficult thing for her to do. The belief that "they're just not there" is so deeply entrenched.
In a conversation with a so-called "psychic" reader on the phone about three months ago, our Jyoti became very frustrated when the woman said, "All you have to do is reach toward your Higher Self." And our Jyoti said: "I am tired of reaching toward my Higher Self. I want her to reach toward me!" And, as with the answer to your question about whether your guides are really there, we would say to our Jyoti that her Higher Self is very much there. She even asked once: "Is my Higher Self retarded or something?" Remember that one? [laughs] (Her Higher Self does not begrudge that comment.)
So, really, the victory for our Jyoti in this entire lifetime is to learn to open her heart and not be afraid just to "step off the cliff" and "go for broke."
ER: That's easier said than done.
MELORA: Of course.
ER: When you're in this incarnate body and you've been mutilated in the past, it's really hard to bring your heart out on a platter-the sense of trust is huge. How can Jyoti's Higher Self, and her guides, and the people like us who love her, support her on this journey. It's sure not an easy one, from where we see it.
MELORA: The truth is that our Jyoti is afraid that she'll just break apart. She's afraid that if she lets go to that extent, she'll be annihilated-and not even from outside herself. Kind of implode. It's something that she needs to deal with gradually but regularly, so that she can work through it. It is probably the pain-at the core-that she's afraid of and that she masks constantly. But she has made it much bigger than it really is in the sense of fearing going to that core-fearing the feeling of what's really under there that's she's tried so hard for so many years to heal . . . and that we're feeling so intensely with her now. It is something that she needs to do and that she keeps avoiding doing.
ER: Is there any technique that is available to us that--
MELORA: She's saying "amnesia." [laughs]
ER: "Amnesia." [laughs] Anything that might be helpful for her? To kind of approach this in a systematic, comfortable way?
MELORA: No. We're hearing that this feeling of disconnect from her Higher Self is a pivotal sign, or a pivotal emblem, of the problem itself. We're sensing that it would be easier for our Jyoti, sincerely and intensely, from her heart, to ask for that connection with her Higher Self and not say: "You owe this to me" and "Why aren't you reaching back toward me?" and some four-letter words. Like a temper tantrum of a child that is not getting what it wants. That is the unhealed child in her that is really mad and hurts.
ER: Could a form of Jyoti that is the adult intercede?
MELORA: She has tried this, but it hasn't worked so far.
ER: It doesn't have to be right now, but if you could clarify this--
MELORA: What we would like to attempt here is . . . we say "attempt" because, if you understand the strange situation of our speaking through Jyoti while we say we would like to connect her with her Higher Self . . . It's a kind of schizophrenic thing, but our Jyoti's become used to it over our years of working with someone else who is asking questions for her in her behalf. Give us a moment.
We are endeavoring to give our Jyoti a visual representation of her Higher Self-not just her usual impression of "a blank wall"-to give herself some kind of form, so that she can relate to her Higher Self. Up until this point, she has decided that she might as well not have a Higher Self, do you see. This disconnection is so extreme that it is as though she cannot even imagine she has a Higher Self.
We are giving her physical sensations as well-what you have when there's a real person there with you. [long pause while I experience my Higher Self] Okay. That's helping. [another long pause while I experience my Higher Self for the first time] All right. We did not want to interrupt her experience by commenting while it was going on.
The breakthrough here for our Jyoti, who always claims she's not very visual, is that she was given a very powerful visual representation of her Higher Self coming toward her . . . with beautiful light and a sense of movement, and with the gown and robes flowing back and away from "the form" of her Higher Self. And our Jyoti was seeing the light and feeling angelic kinds of energies. The important thing is that we are making this real for our Jyoti, because she used to feel nothingness when she would think of her Higher Self or try to contact her Higher Self.
This was an impressive entrance of her Higher Self as we helped our Jyoti feel her Higher Self's energy. It is definitely a female Higher Self, with beautiful golden blonde hair. No angel "wings" but a sense of power-great power-and yet a calm center, andshe was just flying toward our Jyoti. Flying through space and time to our Jyoti, and then enfolding her in her arms. And our Jyoti is saying: "That's enough-enough for right now." But we know this is a big breakthrough, and so we can start here and continue with this as time goes on.
Now that our Jyoti has this image, she can close her eyes and feel what it feels like and imagine it, which is often the way we have counseled clients in the past. This is a very positive, good first step, and we thank you for inquiring in our Jyoti's behalf.
ER: Any messages that her Higher Self wants to give Jyoti? Not extensive, but any words of wisdom?
MELORA: Well, our Jyoti wishes to keep this private, because the thing she abhors the most is crying in front of other people. And kindness melts her down. We thank you, but this is something she will need to be committed to: taking time to explore this and to feel all of the love that is really there for her but that she hasn't believed is there for her, in spite of her calling her Higher Self "retarded." In fact, as you can imagine, her Higher Self is quite the opposite.
ER: [laughs]
MELORA: Our Jyoti wouldn't be as smart as she is if her Higher Self were "retarded." We thank you for helping our Jyoti by asking these questions.
ER: It's because we love Jyoti.
MELORA: And did you have any other questions for yourself?
ER: Would it be appropriate to ask for help in meeting my Higher Self?
MELORA: Absolutely! Since you are so visual, this should be a lot easier for you than for our Jyoti, although she is more visual...
ER: --than she gives herself credit for.
MELORA: All right. If you would start breathing very deeply--as deeply as is comfortable. Don't force it. When you let your breath out, let it out totally, so that you can get rid of the carbon dioxide and other toxins as you breathe out. So breathe as deeply and comfortably as comfortable. What is the question of your heart that you want to convey to your Higher Self. If this is private, you can just tell us so, and then just think of it or sense it, and then we will help direct that to your Higher Self.
ER: I am sensing it.
MELORA: What we would like you to see to start out with is a beautiful female hand in the sky, and you will see the rest of the form later. But reach toward that beautiful hand. It's not a disembodied hand; it's attached to someone. [laughs] You will begin to see the shape and form of your Higher Self as you take the hand of your Higher Self and as it comes toward you in time and space in this beautiful sky. Are you seeing that? That the hand is attached to a beautiful form?
ER: Um hmm.
MELORA: The form now starts to become clearer. It's as though the form of your Higher Self is coming out of the clouds, and you are able to see more and more of this form. And please tell us if that is happening for you.
ER: Very much so.
MELORA: If you wish, describe the form of your Higher Self as you are experiencing her.
ER: She looks very Asian, actually, which surprises me.
MELORA: It shouldn't. What about your devotion to Quan Yin and what about your children?
ER: Yeah. That's true. Hello!
MELORA: Hello. All right. And now we would like you to feel all of your senses. Is there are scent? There's a floral scent, isn't there?
ER: Yeah. You know, it almost smells like linden. I love linden/freesia flower. It's kind of a linden and almost a honeysuckle smell. Kind of that sweetness, you know?
MELORA: And are there sounds associated with your Higher Self-a rustling of clothing?
ER: Yeah. Yeah. It's like she's dancing-not just dancing but just kind of this beautiful flowing motion. Almost like a martial arts form . . . like kung fu. Not in a fighting style-
MELORA: Right. As an art.
ER: Round motions, like circles.
MELORA: Like Tai Chi?
ER: A little quicker and faster than Tai Chi.
MELORA: What you're experiencing now is a description of how you realize your dreams: movement from here to there. And you see it does not have to be like martial arts. You don't have to be a warrior in order to go from here to there. Be an artist with what you already know and who you already are. She's smiling. [laughs] Very affectionate energy there.
ER: Very much so. I feel like a little kid, and she's just so smiley and accepting of who I am.
MELORA: It's almost as though she's performing for you, putting on a little show for you to entertain and uplift you, and to show you the artistry of your Soul. We keep hearing this phrase.
ER: Wow! This is really special. Thank you.
MELORA: It is the artistry that will take you there-not your brain, not your intellect, but the dance, the movement. And we're hearing that she requests that you bring your children and husband in and that you all dance with her. See what happens.
ER: [laughs] It's like a reunion. And she's gotten bigger.
MELORA: She would like you to join hands with your children and your husband in a circle. She's going to provide energy to support this dance. She wants you to feel the shift from having this feel kind of odd and then natural to having it be open, joyful and expansive. Please tell us if and when you get to that point.
ER: Almost there.
MELORA: Just enjoy it with all of your senses; just open your heart to it.
ER: There's a little resistance and fear from [her son].
MELORA: So have your Higher Self come over to him, embrace him or enfold him, and just feel that tension resolving. And have him look into her face and see beyond his being a boy in Boulder, Colorado, and see her with his Soul-and see his many lifetimes and feel the connection with the Asian spirit-the Asian, Zen understanding of the flow of life.
ER: Much better.
MELORA: Um hmm. Because he's Westernized, he will have forgotten temporarily that Asians do not look at "this is the beginning" and "this is the end." The angles go away and nature, and the flow of things and the movement of things, all continue . . . not so much the sense of past, present and future of the Western mind. Your movement as a being from "here" to "there" is just movement-not a beginning and not an end.
And now we are being asked to bring your mother into the middle of the circle that you're forming with your husband and your two children. We would like you to see her transformed, and you know this doesn't mean that suddenly she's going to become well in this lifetime.
ER: Exactly.
MELORA: But we would like you to see her take on a radiance as she becomes liberated from this lifetime that has been so difficult for her. See the radiance of her as a being, now, grow brighter and brighter. And tell us if this is happening for you.
ER: Um hmm.
MELORA: Just stay with that so that you can be assured that this is really what you're moving toward with her and what you are wishing to help facilitate for her: her liberation. And has she transformed in any way?
ER: Um hmm.
MELORA: Good. We would like you to look at yourself and see if the same thing has happened to you: see your radiance come up, not that you're going through transition, but see your radiance come up as you dance around your mother in a circle with your husband and your children. Then see the radiance of your children and your husband come up just like Christmas lights! This is very powerful, isn't it?
ER: Very much so. [sighs]
MELORA: We would like you to experience that your Higher Self gives all of you a blessing. [pause] What form, or forms, are the blessings taking? Is she bringing incense. Is she bestowing light, color?
ER: [pause] More like a globe around all of us, including my Mom.
MELORA: All right. And see this as protective and not constrictive, and so let the "globe" not be too solid. Have it be protective but not the kind of protection that would keep everything out. You want all these wonderful things to be coming in now to support. We're seeing the globe more as the support for your family as a group.
ER: It's [the globe] almost like that movie with Jodie Foster, with everything moving in all directions. It's cool.
MELORA: Very good, and it is about going "home." This was so in that movie as well. All right, and just so that we can gently "disconnect," have all of you say goodbye to your wonderful Higher Self. She is, of course, honoring all of you-those you love so much. Now see them go back to wherever they were before. Now you and your Higher Self are together. Get as close to your Higher Self as you feel comfortable. Let her hold you if that is comfortable. Just feel what it feels like to be nurtured by her and loved by her. We see you almost as a small child: five years old, looking up into her face.
ER: That's exactly it.
MELORA: Let yourself feel all that love . . . "and healing," she said. And healing.
ER: It's kind of cool: She's giving me back some of the fire I've lost.
MELORA: Mmm. Stay with that.
ER: [sighs]
MELORA: See if she has a message for you. It's more fun if you can find it out for yourself, but if you need our help we are, of course, here for you.
ER: Um, probably a little help...
MELORA: Don't give up so soon. [laughs] Stay with it.
ER: I see fireworks or something.
MELORA: What does that feel like?
ER: Joyous.
MELORA: Good. It's not something for your brain to interpret. It's like "Yippee!" A celebration, and fireworks are AWESOME! Sometimes loud, even-hard for a Libra.
ER: A double-Libra.
MELORA: Loud and boisterous joy . . . joy with abandon . . . and light . . . exploding.
ER: --which is pretty happy.
MELORA: Does that surprise you?
ER: No. I guess not, but I wasn't sure.
MELORA: There's a coyness-almost a flirtatiousness but, of course, higher beings don't really flirt. It has to do with how they express joy and how they express affection. And so she has this coy little smile, and we see the fan coming up to cover the face a little bit because she's smiling behind the fan. There's a playfulness. That's it. That's what it is, and definitely Asian.
The word "artistry" keeps coming, so what we will give you for your homework is to explore your own artistry. "How am I an artist?" "Why does that word keep coming up," and "Why is it that Melora said that artistry-not your mind--is what will help you realize your dreams."
ER: Does artistry include writing?
MELORA: Artistry includes everything that expresses you as a being. It's not about work; it's not about a profession. It's about your qualities as a being and your expressing them.
ER: Interesting.
MELORA: It's a totally different way of functioning in the world.
ER: Yeah, it really is.
MELORA: A lot more fun. [laughs]
ER: [laughs] Melora, you are incredible! Thank you: both you and Jyoti.
MELORA: It is our very, very great pleasure.
ER: This is one of the most transcendent experiences I've ever had.
MELORA: Well, we wish to assure our Jyoti that we are indeed here. It's not a matter of "Melora is back." Melora never went away. And so our Jyoti had said before the session: "I will totally let go of my ego; I will not have my personality involved when Melora comes through." It has been our very great pleasure to serve you in the Light, and we are Melora.![](https://i0.wp.com/www.melora.org/mel2copy.JPG?resize=17%2C15)
