BECOMING THE MASTER OF YOUR REALITY

            There are two sayings, "Like attracts like."  and  "Opposites attract."   Both are true.

 There are just so many things in life for us all to be grateful about; yet, many people choose to focus on the negative things in their lives and what they don't have.

 

If you are a happy person, grateful for what you have, you will attract more things to be grateful for in your life.  Yet, you will also attract negative people and experiences. 

      Negatively oriented people will want what you have, they will find comfort in your happiness because they can't find their own happiness, they will be drawn to you like "moths to a flame".  You can choose to dim your light, your happiness, or you can choose to share it with them in hopes that they will begin to follow your lead and thereby be able to discover the way to their own happiness. 

      Each negative person that comes into your life will have a lesson to teach you, and your light will grow stronger as you navigate the negativity that they may bring your way.   

      The negative experiences that you attract will also be lessons, and are not always accompanied by negative people, such experiences can be easier to learn from because there usually isn't someone else to blame for the experience.  When there is a lack of human involvement in an experience (negative or positive) we tend to look towards the Divine and ourselves for the reason behind such occurances, and so the lesson can be easier to see. 

           

            If you are a negatively focused person, with a tendency to see more bad than good, depressed because your life is so miserable, you have no-one to love, your job is stiffling and stressing, etc., you will continue to attract those things to you.  The light, the good, the happy moments that you experience will more likely occur because you have found another human that can shine their light for you and illuminate your life.  Your lesson, your job, is to learn how to do this for yourself. 

            (First you must see and understand that this is true, then you must choose to shift your focus to see the positive things in your life, it is up to you to decide if the glass is half full or half empty ... then you can apply the concept of "mind over matter" whereby you shift your thoughts to being thankful, rather than regretful, by retraining your mind and the way you see and think about things.  Mantras are an extremely effective way of accomplishing this because they are simple statements that are positively focused, they do not require you to 'think', it works something like "brain washing" but with positive results ... what you tell yourself over and over will eventually become your reality.) 

 

            It is your responsibility to learn how to increase your light, your positive thinking, your optimism, your Faith that no matter what happens you will always be okay.  Until you learn how to do this, the happy and carefree moments that you experience are most likely going to come to you by way of another human who has these things to offer; this makes you dependant upon someone else for your happiness, and when that person leaves, you will lose that light and once again be caught in the darkness of despair. 

 

            All of us, whether we are positively focused or negatively focused, attract negatively charged experiences so that we can learn from them and grow in our understanding of who we are and what we are capable of accomplishing in this lifetime.

 

            If we are positively focused, we will eventually see the lesson that we have learned, if we are negatively focused we will only see that something bad has happened and then often look for someone to blame for that experience.  The fact that a lesson could have been learned escapes the understanding of the negative person, and so it will likely be repeated time and again until they finally see the lesson and learn from it.      Although, the positvely focused person may also look for a scapegoat, someone to blame, they will eventually see the lesson in that experience and then realize that if they don't want it to happen again they must take steps to stay away from those situations or people; whether they realize it or not, they are opting to take responsibility for their lives and what comes into it. 

 

            Human beings are social creatures, we need to interact with others, it is how we grow, it is how we learn about ourselves, it is where we can find our joy in life.  The trick is not to become dependent upon another human for your happiness.   Easier said, than done. 

 

            There will always be heartaches to endure in life, whether you are a positive or negatively focused person, and the way in which we deal with those heartaches will determine the experiences that follow each heartache.    It is never easy to deal with the loss of a loved one, whether they have left this life or simply left us for someone or something else, there is always a time of sadness, of allowing ourselves to feel that loss so that we can heal and go on with living our lives.  We each have our own ways of dealing with such loss, how long it takes to heal from our losses varies from person to person, and the various lessons that will come our way due to that loss will make a difference on how long it takes to heal.  Yet, how quickly we bounce back from any loss in our lives, is inherently dependent upon how deeply we allow ourselves to go into the pit of despair, and how long we allow ourselves to wallow in that darkness.  It is our choice.

 

            (Some may adamantly say that they are not choosing to be in such darkness, and certainly they are not choosing to "wallow" in it ... it is a painful place to be, so lost, so alone ... no-one would choose to be in such misery.  Although, it is not usually a conscious choice to wallow in such darkness, it is still a choice.  Perhaps one of the most unconscious decisions to be in utter darkness and misery is due to the lose of a loved one, whether that is through a physical death or a divorce/break-up.  There is so much heartache, a loss of our personal identity, our entire world is thrown off-track, and certainly we did not choose this to happen.) 

           

            If we can learn to see that everything in our lives is a choice that we have made somewhere along the line (and perhaps a choice we made even before we were born) then we allow ourselves the opportunity to become empowered, and we can begin to pull ourselves out of the darkness that threatens to overtake our lives.  We can then choose to be grateful for what we had, rather than being remorseful for what we no longer have.  When we learn to see our negative experiences in this fashion, we begin to heal ourselves, we begin to invite positive experiences back into our lives, we open the door for others to come in and share our lives with us so that we can once again find happiness in the experience of sharing. 

 

 To become the Master of your Reality, you must choose to take back your power.  You begin the process of taking back your power by choosing to be responsible for everything in your life.  When you take responsibility for every experience in your life, you free yourself from the illusion that anyone or anything has power or control over you.  Although this is a process which requires time, it is wholly achievable in this lifetime.  It is simply up to you to make the decision ... it is your choice.

 

 

 

 

 

What If ...

Crazy Thoughts?? What if ...

Suppose there is a force out there (somehwere) that is and has been playing with the human psyche for eons. Suppose that they/it has been keeping us blind to our own potential by keeping us at war with each other.

What if they have been thinking our thoughts for us, filling us with doubt about the motives of others, feeding us with thoughts that would keep us doubting our own truths, all of this keeping us powerless to rise above the denseness of this illusion that they have filled our minds with.

Suppose that this force has been with us for longer than we can recall, suppose that it is the Devil mentioned in the Bible, suppose that it is the personification of evil or darkness which all cultures around the world have described in one way or another.

Suppose that this force really does exist and that it is now awakening to the threat that We as a species are beginning to awaken from our slumber, that We are beginning to reach for our power ~ wouldn’t that energy then begin to focus itself upon our awakening minds in an attempt to keep us subjugated to the illusion it has built from our own fears and frustrations?

What would the scenario be if this were really the case? What would that dark force do in an attempt to stymie our evolution? If it has fed upon our fears, if it has kept us subjugated through sheer mental force, then wouldn’t it stand to reason that it would attack us mentally, through our minds, our thoughts?

So that the minute that we begin to grasp our truth, and to find our place in the legacy of Divine Truth, it would sense the inconsistency in our energy field in relation to the illusional field it has provided for humanity for so many eons. The very thing that we seek to free us, would be a beacon for them to hone in on; the energy that we produce as we grow spiritually would be the way they could locate those who are a threat to their reality.

So, eventually they find us, can’t hide forever (’tho’ I’ve hidden for quite some time). When they find us, they try to distort our realities, throw us off course, make us doubt ourselves, make us doubt our family, our friends, makes us unsure of who to trust, what to say, where to go, what to do, our minds are filled with fears that don’t belong to us. The fears that we thought we had worked through have come back to haunt us.

Sure, maybe you do have a thing or two to learn from looking at those fears again, but ask yourself "Why are they here again?" Ask yourself lots of questions, don’t just accept them because they’re in your head.

What does the battle field look like? The picture is in our own minds, because that is where this battle is taking place. Its in our heads, in our psyche, and the battle is being waged inside of every individual. The world has nothing to fear but the mind of each and every individual who has decided to awaken at this moment in the history of our Earth. Those of us who have stepped over the threshold are the ones that will either win or lose this battle within ourselves, because those who still slumber are not a threat to this opposing force.

What does the battle look like? What form does it take? It is not a battle of iron or chemicals, the weapons being used are not tangible like they are in wars against countries or against our neighbors, because the battle is against an unseen force. The battle is taking place inside of us. The weaponry is what we carry within ourselves. It is our own psyche, our power to rise above the lies and illusion that say we must succomb or win over. It is in our thoughts about ourselves and about our neighbors, our fellow human beings. Every time we try to disarm another with our words or actions, we are helping the other side to win a battle.

 

Okay, okay, goofy, wordy, doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, right? But, What If?

"We have called out to many..."

We desire to show all people that they have the ability to accomplish anything that they set their hearts and minds to, that there is an Infinite Power that they may draw upon from within themselves that will shower them with both Love and Guidance as they progress upon their paths towards Home.

 

Too many people seek their answers always from outside of themselves, thinking that someone else has the answers to their questions and their life dilemmas.  This is not true. Although, there are those who are capable and good as Way Showers, they can only show you the Way. The actual journey must, of its very nature, be taken by yourself.  No one else can take this journey for you, but they can be there for guidance and reassurance.

 

We have called out to many people around this Earth sphere. There are many who now answer that call. They seek guidance from within themselves, yet they are unfamiliar with the terrain of Inner Knowing.  It is Our desire that We may assist those who now seek to understand the terrain of Inner Knowing and to help them  find their own Truths and Understanding of Who We Are and why We are here.  We offer this assistance to you through those humans who have taken their personal journeys through this terrain and in doing so have garnered much insight that they may use to translate our words and guidance to those yet to travel the terrain of the Unknown.

 

Knowing these things will serve to fill these initiates of higher wisdom with the fruit of Truth’s Design. These things that are shared here will flower within those who have come to share and to shelter, with their very own desires and truths of Who We Are as multi-versed truths of God’s Grace. This is not to send the message that those who choose to call The Divine by another name are misrepresented, but that this time at hand is based within the Christ Logos, and so it is that We share this information. For to know what it is to be human and to be loved by the Father, is to know what it is like to be christed through the word I Am as Is my Lord God Which Is.

 

Many who have come to us, have come seeking understanding of ‘what ‘ their purpose in life is. It is a question that begs answering form the multitudes. They are distraught at the lack of direction that they now experience in their lives. They cannot seem to find their Inner direction because the directions that are being given to them are not forthcoming in fruit, the season for harvest is not soon enough for them. They must receive guidance and understanding that the fruit is borne only of time and nurturance, this is the way of the Earth plane.

 

When We come forth to give guidance, it is in the manner of Truth accessed from within a wide vein of understanding. These words are Carol’s, yet are they also of the thought that is Universal in Design; therefore they are multi-dimensional in their guidance. She has sought for life times to instill within humanity, the ability for them to find the Truth within themselves so that in doing so she will no longer hold the burden of Way Shower for those who seek to know the Truth from without.  Any who come unto us are guided with the Wisdom and Grace of the Highest Elohim known to this Universal Code.  We share information within the hearts and minds of many beings throughout this universe and will continue to do so until We are called to move closer to the God Which Is All Things.  (it was my desire to underline the above statement ~ Carol)

 

The journey that you are upon in this moment, is one in which you will come to know many truths. Each truth is a step closer to the ultimate Truth which is held within the God I AM Which IS. Knowing these things within, will further you along your individual paths while at the same time bringing you closer to yourself as is known upon the Earth.

A point of clarification ~

 

You, as human beings, are not being asked to shed your earthly wardrobe in order to ascend to a higher realm of existence. You are coming to know and to understand that which you are as emissaries of a higher order of Truth, wherein the byproduct is Faith both adorned and unadorned by human consciousness.  In other words, you are here on this Earth to understand yourselves as both spirit and flesh, both must be fed and sanctified within your own understandings of Who You Are as children of the One God Which IS.

 

Knowing your birth right as individual incarnate spirit beings in human bodies, will do little for you if you do not also know and understand that which Is without your physical beings. This serves to tell you that as We climb ever higher into the vistas of the unknown, many will fall by the wayside because they have forgotten to pack food for their physical bodies. You as individual expressions of the God Which IS, do not live on bread alone, yet are you also expressions of the word I Am which is an Earth based word. It is carbonated (I have double checked on that word, and it is 'their' intention that it be used here) matter ~ it is the physical word of the Lord I Am ~ and it therefore must be addressed and cared for in the very same manner in which you now seek to care for the spirit within. Do not tarry at the spiritual markets that cater only to the spirit within, for these places will leave your soul and body hungering for nourishment. The ascension is of body, mind, and spirit ~ it is not in exclusion of one for the other; you must bring the whole package.

 

 

Truth

Yes, there is a Uni-fying Source, call it what you desire, it doesn’t matter. Whatever you believe it to be is just fine. There’s no need to change what you call it, nor to adopt another religion or set of tenets by which to live your life.

 

Humans seek understanding in all things because they are reasoning creatures. To seek to know is a good thing, it is what sets you apart from the four-leggeds, it is why you are stewards of this Earth.

 

Experience is what helps you to understand something. Yes, someone can tell you something, they can show it to you, or you can read about it in a book that someone else has written, but you will not know it in its Truth until you have experienced it for yourself.

 

Each experience you have will help you to more clearly and fully understand the Truth of why you are here and what is unfolding in your life, your world, and the Uni-Verse. Stay open to your life, to your experiences, as much as possible without judgment.

 

Changing Your Reality

How do you change your reality? By changing the way you think, the way you perceive things.

To do this, you simply look for the beauty in everything that you see and experience, look for the positive rather than the negative. Change the way you think, and you’ll change the way you live.

 

If you are striving for fulfillment, then you will feel empty. If you are working towards a better tomorrow, then today has less meaning. If you are yearning for greener pastures, then you are not tending to the place where you are Now.

 

The idea is to learn to live in "The Moment"; not for what happened yesterday, or what may happen tomorrow, but for what you have right now in this very moment.

 

Try not to focus on the negatives of what you think is missing or lacking in your life. Instead, look at what you do have. Find things to be grateful for and your life will transform into a magical journey.

This may be more difficult for some because of the way they have been conditioned to perceive life. For these people, the glass is not half full, it is half empty. The simple way of getting past this perception is to "re-condition" the mind to see things in a more positive manner, always looking for the silver lining in everything that comes your way. Not an easy task for some, but completely do-able. It all depends on how much you truly desire to transform your life into one filled with happiness, rather than frustration, stress, and anxiety.

 

This takes "will power", because the negative thoughts have become a habit. Every time a negative thought emerges, simply say "thank you" and "good-bye". Send it off in peace and refocus your attention on something more pleasant. If you have difficulty letting go of the negative thoughts, simply listen to some music, or find an enjoyable movie to watch; take your mind off of the negative by giving it something else to focus on. (I'm very serious about this one ... Do Not feed the negative energy)

 

In my journeys towards higher consciousness, I have encountered many well meaning "Light Workers" who still have difficulty with this lesson.

 

They mumble and groan about what they don’t have and where they’d rather be, or where they feel Spirit may be leading them to next. In their desire to do their work, to be where they are called, they lose sight of where they are Now. Where you are Now, is more important than where you may be tomorrow. What you are doing now, is more important than what you may be doing tomorrow. Don’t lose your focus on the gifts that have already been given to you, they aren’t around the corner, they are not waiting for you to do something or learn something, they are right here, right now.

 

If you begin to focus on this moment, right here and right now, and see the gifts that have already been given to you, then you will begin to open yourself to receiving even more.

Why? Because you are acknowledging the fact that you are taken care of and that you do receive gifts from the Creator.

      Think of it this way, if you give a gift to someone but they don’t acknowledge it (maybe they say ‘thank you’ and then put it in the closet), how likely is it that you will continue to give them gifts? Eventually, you may begin to think "well, they don’t appreciate what I give them, so why should I give them anything? It never means anything to them, and they forget about it right away."

On the other hand, if someone gives you a gift and they can see that it makes you happy, they’re more likely to continue giving you things because everyone likes to make others happy. Think about this for a few minutes.

 

What I am attempting to do here, is to teach you the basics of creating an environment within yourself that is fertile ground for the development of a more fulfilling spiritual connection with the Creator and the growth of miracles and magic in your life. Before you can run, you must first learn how to walk. Before you can touch the hand of God, you must first reach out and touch the hand of those around you, and before you can do that, you must first reach inside and touch your heart with the gifts that have already been given to you.

 

I’ve heard many people talk about the idea that what they desire is "already there" they just have to "catch up to it". Wrong. It is already there, but they don’t have to catch up to it, they just have to see it and be grateful for it. This is being in the Moment.

 

Magic doesn’t happen yesterday, or tomorrow, it can only happen right here, right now.

If you’re focus is on yesterday or tomorrow, then how can you experience anything magical or miraculous right now? "Yesterday is gone, tomorrow never comes…" what does that leave you with? Today is our Present, it is the gift we have been given to enjoy life.

 

Whatever you desire, let yourself be happy with what you have today, and the gifts that you will receive when the next "Present" today arrives will be just as good and pleasing as what you already have. Just learn to see it and then say "thank you" for what you have been given.

The Truth of Matter

The Truth of Matter

Is only that it exists.

It exists only because you have created it as such. Since you are the creator, you have the power to change your creation at anytime and for any reason. All that is needed is for you to know that you are the creator of what surrounds you and for your desire for change to come from both your heart and will. The individual who now writes these words for Us would wish to soften this last statement by using the word “allow” in context with “create”. This is not Truth. The Truth is that you are each responsible, both as individuals and as a group consciousness, for what you create ~ it is not what you ‘allow’ to be created ~ there is no such thing.

Let Us clarify this for you ~

We say that you are each responsible for what you create; this includes what is created around you ~ in your life, in the life of others, in the world. To accept responsibility for anything is a big step for many humans, and it is a necessary step in your spiritual development.

Accepting responsibility takes the consciousness out of ‘victim-hood’, it fosters the etheric environment which is conducive to becoming a master at Heart, where-in you may change or create anything that is held in your heart.

A victim takes little responsibility for life or circumstances and therefore cannot create or change their world. Taking responsibility is a necessary step in becoming a master. Do not be afraid to step out of victim-hood. Do not be afraid to accept responsibility, first for your life, then for the world.

If you say that you ‘allow’ creation, then you are not taking responsibility for your role in its manifestation. Do you understand?

It is one thing to ‘allow’ others the freedom of creating their individual realities; yet, even in this do you hold the responsibility of having made the decision to ‘allow’ this freedom. If you can see that there is responsibility in allowing something, then the word may be used with the power of Grace. Yet, many mortals do not see the responsibility in this word, therefore we refrain from using it in connection with the word ‘create’.

If you see war, see it ending in peaceful resolution.
If you see anger, also see the Dove of Peace settling over those in anger.
If you see starvation, see farms rising out of the barren lands.
If you see catastrophe, see the Phoenix rising out of the ashes.

What you see and feel is what you create from. If you are painting a picture and the paint is filled with clumps, then the picture is distorted by those clumps. If you are building a house and the wood you are using is rotten, then the house will not stand long. ~ Your thoughts and feelings are the tools or ingredients from which your reality is created.

How I Work

 

This can cause unnecessary difficulties for both the Reader and the Seeker, most especially for the Reader, primarily due to the law of returns. In this, balance is continually sought, so that when something is taken without conscious awareness there is a higher return rate. In Other Words ~ If you give me your power without being consciously aware of what it is that you are doing, And I take it, the Law of Returns requires that I pay (energetically or otherwise) more than what I took from you. It is a way of keeping the scales balanced, most especially between Healer and patient.

Taking someone’s power is extremely debilitating. Most Healers know this and are familiar with the Law of Returns, but it can still happen. This is primarily because Healers don’t like to see or feel people in pain, so they will do whatever they can to alleviate the distress, especially when someone comes to them in extreme distress begging for relief.

When a person is in such a state of extreme distress, they are usually seeking a quick way out of the pain. In such a state of mind, they are willing to give their power away in order to be free of the pain, not realizing or understanding that this is what they are doing. Therefore, it is up to the Healer or Reader to see that this is what is happening and take steps to correct it, lest the Healer or Reader be subject to the Law of Returns.

Working as a Spiritual Detective

I have worked with many people in such extreme states of distress. I will go in and assist them etherically and energetically, but not until we have had a lengthy discussion about what is and has been occurring in their lives. Afterwards, I will only do so on rare occasions in order to help the caller regain their center and sense of balance, so that they can return to a more peaceful life.

As a detective, I will help you find the answers, help you understand what is happening and why it is there, giving you clear insight into the actions or words of those affecting your life … all of this so that you can make clear decisions, so that you can take action, so that you can reclaim your own power and take control of your own life.

I am here to empower people, to help them find their own inner and greater strength, so that they may take control of their lives and not rely on others to fix things for them.

I do not want to fix you. You are Not broken. There is nothing wrong with you.
You are only seeking understanding and guidance so that the life you long for will be yours and with out having to sell your soul for success or peace of mind.

Forward by Melchizedek

Awaken ye children of Truth and Grace.

 

Come fill your cups at the well and thirst not. Find sanctuary in the times now at hand. Know ye no evil, for it exists not but in the minds of man.

 

The Grace, the Truth and Glory, are yours by right of birth. Do not cower in the darkness; let Us shed light upon your mind and open you to your heart.

 

You have heard that the Kingdom of Heaven is within ~ If you do not seek it, you will not find it. Ask and it shall be given. Knock and the door shall be opened unto you.

 

Do not fill your hearts with sorrow and despair . Cultivate hope and faith within yourselves, for they are the precursors to Peace.

 

Do you seek to silence the lambs?

Do you wish to stop the crying of the masses, the madness of wars?

 

Then you must first find Peace within yourselves; you must come to know the Truth of your own hearts ... only then may you silence the crying of the lambs.

Code of Conduct ~ By the Council of Nine

Union comes at the price of self ~

It is with the rejoicing of gallant efforts to build anew,
a society of individuals who are devoted to the Union of All.

These Americas which are now called ‘home’ to many individuals, were founded on just such a premise.
It was not for the few to become wealthy and powerful, for such things breed greed and corruption.
This Unity of One Truth, in which all are created equal, has now become tainted
by those who seek their individual wealth and at the cost of another’s Truth.

*

There is a code of conduct to be recognized by those who wear Our Seal of God’s Truth and Grace.

All ways, do unto others as thou would have done unto thee;

Seek no retribution, as it comes at the cost of Self;

Give freely unto those who seek, as We have given freely unto thee;

Know that as you are, so are your brethren ~ thus if thou art in Peace, so is your brother, if thou art in turmoil, so too is your brother.

*

A code of conduct is the way in which you live your life,
as an individual expression of That Which IS Divine,
and is conducted to serve the whole of humanity.

The Way in which you conduct your life is a living, breathing example of the presence of God in your life.
Going to prayer on Sundays only, has little impact on life and love
if you do not also carry the torch on the other days of the week.

*

This is brought to you by the Council of Nine, so that all people might better hold the light within their individual expressions of the Divine.

*

You are That Which you perceive, and as you perceive yourself, so do you perceive the world around you.

We do not ask for you to become miracle workers overnight, though many of you have elected that path,
We share this with you now so that you may know that as you live your life, so do you create your world.
Therefore, if you live your life as a prayer, your world will reflect the Divine in all creatures great and small.

Insight Into Current Energies

Currently many people will be facing upsets in their homes and/or in areas that they may have thought were "stable" ... upsets in the home could mean relationship difficulties, or a change of residence ... upsets in areas that you thought were stable might include relationship, home, employment, etc., it could even be in the way you think or perceive things. There's good news and not so good news about this ... the good news is that the upsets in home life should subside within the next month or so ... the otherside of the coin is that the upsets in things you once considered to be "stable" may continue to wobble for quite some time.

Emotions are also high ... there is a need to find balance between what we think and what we feel ... fortunately, the emotional rollercoaster is beginning to slow down and tempers won't be so hot ... give it a few more days, a week at the most and things should start settling down quite a bit.

Wonder how true this is? Just take a look around you, even if you're not personally feeling it all that strongly, you will probably be able to see signs of these things in others around you ... if so, you can offer them hope by letting them know that they're not alone and that it will get better.

Of course there are many variables as to how these energies will affect any one person ... a good Astrologer would be able to help you navigate through these energies ... likewise, a good Reader should also be able to help you find your way through whatever is your biggest obstacle is at this time.

                                                          ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

A little heads up about the energy currents that are now affecting us ... We are being asked to let go of those things which no longer serve us, whether it be a relationship, a job, or simply the way in which we have perceived things ... how do you know what you're being asked to let go of? It would be something that you have already considered letting go of ... something that you have already considered yourself to have outgrown, but for whatever reasons you have continued to hold onto it.

Don't panic and think that those emotional upsets at home mean that you're relationship is on its way out ... remember there's been a lot of really high emotional energy around all of us and that energy is now dissipating ... but ... if you've already been considering letting go of that relationship, then it may be likely that the dust from this emotional storm isn't going to settle until you finally see the light and let go.

In any case ... the best way to approach all of this is to take a good look at whatever seems to be rumbling around you ... then ask yourself if its time to let go. Even if you can't pinpoint what it is, taking a look will at least help you to phrase your question when you call an Advisor here on Keen.

Blessings to all of you, I hope you find comfort in knowing that at least the Emotional Storm is almost over.

The Power of Being a Woman

            As women, when we get involved in a relationship (it doesn't matter if its with a man or another woman), the nurturing aspect of our personalities kick in and we focus all or most of ourselves on making sure that the relationship is given whatever it needs to grow, we're not adverse to giving up our careers or our dreams if it means that the person we're involved with will be happier and feel more content and safe in our love for them.  Whatever focus we may have had on ourselves slowly diminishes as the other person and the relationship become more and more our central focus in life. 

            If there comes a time when the relationship is no longer viable, and we have to leave it, we can become bitter and resentful.  Even if we don't actually think about it, the feeling is there that we no longer know who we are as individuals, now we have to "start all over" again and find ourselves.   

            Granted, this scenario is not limited to only women, there are many men out there who also experience their loss of focus for the same reasons, and of course there are women who may not fit this particular mold and have no idea what I may be talking about.  Yet, as a general rule of thumb, this is my observation of how women tend to lose their identities in their desire to make a relationship work.

 

 The feminine and masculine reside together within each of us; in order for us to find and embrace the power within ourselves, we must find the balance between the two natures and allow them both equal expression within our lives.

                           

             My ability to see beyond the facade of things, helped me to understand that there was something important for me to learn about the goddess, it spurred me on in my meditations, piqued my curiousity enough for me to do some hard research, and made me acutely aware of the feminine principle in all of life.  Little by little, the goddess appeared in all of her glorious (and not so glorious) forms, each encounter brought me closer to the understanding that all of these identities existed within me. 

            I had spent nearly my entire life (since I was 12 yrs old) looking for God and trying to understand who He is in relation to myself; it didn't cross my mind until late 2003 that I had only been looking at half of the picture, that there was a feminine essence that needed to be understood as well.

 

            I have felt Her there for a long, long time, always sitting in the background, patiently and silently waiting for me to see her, always loving me.  This is the love that I have looked for in my lovers & partners, it is a soft, gentle, and nurturing love filled with patience and understanding.  One day while hiking on Mt. Humphrey in Arizona, I stopped to hug a tree ... the tears flowed from me as I felt an immense, yet serene and gentle love envelope me ... in that moment I realized that all of my heartache had been born because I was looking for that love to come from another human being & as long as I continued to look for that love from another human, I would likely be continuously disappointed.  That was September of 2003, it is now February of 2007, I have been living with the goddess energy since that moment, trying continuously & consciously to understand her and myself.  Now I see that my experience on Mt. Humphrey that day was a glimpse into myself, into the goddess within me; the love that I felt enveloping me when I hugged that tree was my own love being returned to me.       

 

            The key to unlocking our power as women lies in our ability to embrace the goddess within us.  We have to become comfortable being ourselves whether that means acting silly like a child, giving orders like a mother, or sitting silently in our age of wisdom.  Societal standards often dictate to us how we should act, what's appropriate or not in public, because we have been raised in this mode we often don't even realize that we are lost to ourselves.          

            If I ask you the question: "Who are you?"  What would your answer be?  How much of your answer would include someone else?  We spend so much of our lives taking care of others, or being dependent upon them, that it becomes difficult to identify ourselves without saying that we are someone's mother, wife, sister, daughter, etc.  We have lost sight of who we are as Women, we have lost sight of the power that we carry within us as creators, nurturers, and destroyers. 

 

            I believe in a Supreme Creator and because of my Christian foundation I call the Creator ~ God.  I know that God watches over me and is helping me to understand who I am in connection with all that is Divine ... in connection to everything both on this Earth and in the heavens above.  I do not consider the goddess to be greater than God, but rather another aspect of God ... the feminine aspect of the Creator. 

            So, how can I know God if I only know one aspect of the Creator, how can I know myself if I only know one aspect of myself?  The masculine has subdued the feminine for so many aeons that things have been thrown off balance in the world of Energy. 

 

         In order for things to return to a balanced state of being, women must step up and into their power.  This doesn't mean that we become Amazons, or overthrow our male companions, we simply have to remember who we are as powerful human beings.  We have to begin the process of standing up for ourselves without feeling guilty that we might be hurting someone's feelings, or that Jack or Jackie will have to fend for themselves while we do whatever it is that we find necessary to rebuild our identities as the goddesses we are. 

             Our power lies within us, not in some external counterpart.  The love we seek can only come from within ourselves, no-one else can fill the void.  We can only hope to share our love so that it will be mirrored back to us ... just as that tree on Mt. Humphreys did for me. 

            Most people only know the masculine side of God, the words written by men were meant to conceal the power that now lays dormant within the female population.  Have you ever considered that God the Creator of Everything may not be a man, nor even masculine; that "He" is quite likely genderless ~ neither male nor female.  Afterall, being one gender or the other would naturally impose limitations, wouldn't it? 

           

            There are still a few indigenous cultures that hold females in high esteem, recognizing them as the ones whom life is dependent upon.  Yet, even in some of these cultures, the women have begun to forget who they are as the modern world seeps into their livingrooms and kitchens. 

             It is time for us to reclaim our power as women, to deny the roles assigned to us by a patriarchal society while still embracing the gentleness that is inherent within us, to learn how to stand in our power and be strong without worrying about being a "bitch".  We don't have to burn our bras, and we don't have to go to work in the corporate world, we can stay at home and raise the kids, cook dinners, and tend to the daily chores.  Standing in your power means knowing who you are as an individual (as well as your identity that describes you as someone's mother, etc.) and not being afraid to BE who you are ... act it out, be whoever you want to be, do what you want to do, make yourself happy.  Embrace the goddess within you and you're life will change, it will become your own.

           

 

 

Rules For Being Human

1. You will receive a body.   You may like it or hate it, but it's the only thing you are sure to keep for the rest of your life.

2. You will learn lessons.  You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called Life on Planet Earth.  Every person or incident you encounter is the Universal Teacher.

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons.   Growth is a process of experimentation . "Failures" are as much a part of the process as "success."

4. A lesson is repeated until it is learned.   It is presented to you in various forms until you learn it.

5. External problems are a precise reflection of your internal state.

6. "There" is no better than "here".   When your "there" becomes a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that again looks better than "here."

7. Others are only mirrors of you.   You cannot love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate in yourself.

8. Your life is up to you.   Life provides the canvas: you do the painting.

9. You always get what you want.   Your subconscious rightly determines what energies, experiences and people you attract.

10. The only foolproof way to know what you want is to see what you have.

11. There is no right or wrong, but there are consequences.   Moralizing doesn't help -- judgments only hold the patterns in place.   Just do your best.

12. Your answers lay inside of you.   At first we need guidance from others, but as we mature we learn to trust our hearts, where Laws of Spirit are written.

14. You forgot all of this.

15. You can remember any time you wish.

Consciousness and Self Expression

                                                The frailty and power of our minds.

            "Miracles exist not in silence, but in the witnessing of such occurances."

            "The expression of Consciousness is the creation of life.  You are all benefactors of Expression; yet, few use it to the extent of creation, towards a life filled with miracles.  Humans seem not to realize that the art of Expression is their personal and communal inheritance.

             Self Expression is why you are here, all of you.  At this point, in the juncture of human evolution, only a few are using their inheritance of Self Expression; and so this reality is primarily sustained by what it is that they see and desire to create.

            If all of humanity were to see that Self Expression is their inheritance , and then learn how to apply it in their daily lives, you as a species would be able to live the happy and peaceful lives that so many humans desire."

 
How to do this?

 
            Please begin by exercisizing your right to Self Expression.  Say what is on your mind, learn how to express your feelings, do what makes you happy, learn how to live your life through self-expression.  Please stop stifling yourselves, take that rag out of your mouth and speak up; sing, shout, laugh, cry, refuse to stay quiet any longer.

            Remember that as you live your life, so too do you create it.

If you are sad, you will create more sadness; if you are angry, then you create more anger.  It is true that you will feel these emotions from time to time, your emotions are what make you so special as a species, but while you allow yourself to feel these experiences of emotion, do not allow yourself to attach  to the experience that elicits the emotion, nor to the emotion itself.  Please acknowledge that you are experiencing anger or sorrow etc., but do not acknowledge that you are the emotion ... please do not say, "I am angry, or I am sad."  rather, say: "I am experiencing anger." for to speak in such a fashion keeps you from becoming the emotion, and attachment to the experience is much easier to avoid.

 
            Surround yourself with things that make you happy and what you create through Self Expression will fill the world through happiness.  Yet, do not allow yourself to become attached to these things either.  For all things are transient and must soon pass from one existance to the next; attachment  always brings pain or sorrow when the transition occurs.  Enjoyment of these things without attachment will fill your life with miracles and happiness.

A Small Portion of My Journey

I have been an Empath, Clairaudient, and Clairsentient for as long as I can recall, so I didn't have to learn how to "open up" to my psychic senses; rather, I had to learn how to "close down" so that I could live a semi-normal life.  I am also Clairvoyant, but that only comes as a sort of after affect to the previous three abilities ... in other words, I hear and feel things without even trying, but the "seeing" doesn't usually happen until after I have begun to feel or hear something. 

 
            I began searching for God well before my 12th birthday ~ Buddhist meetings, Lutheran Sunday school, and Sunday Mass at the Catholic church.  At the age of 15 I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour while attending Sunday Services at the Central Baptist church.  Today I have a personal relationship with God and Jesus, but it is not in the conventional sense, I am not associated with any religion, nor do I view God and Jesus the way most people do.  I have not read "Conversations with God" because I have my own conversations with "Him".  I will still attend a religious service on occasion when I feel there is a message waiting for me. 

            I'm not sure what spurred me on to search for God, perhaps the constant lucid dreams of the devil chasing me, perhaps I carried it over from previous life times that there was more to Who we are and to our understanding of God.  As a child, I would sit on a swing in the park while my siblings and friends played around me, and I would contemplate the vastness of the Universe and the true identity of God.  Perhaps I simply had an inquiring mind. 

 
            Although I'd had visions and feelings of things that would happen, I still didn't realize I was any different than everyone else until I was 33 years old.  My friends would say that I was jinxing them when I would tell them that something was going to happen if they followed a particular route or course of action, maybe that's why I never really talked to anyone about my experiences until I met Stacey in Georgia.  I was having a conversation with her about some of my experiences, and when she wasn't able to comprehend what I was telling her, I rephrased my experiences and asked her if she understood, she finally said, "No, I don't think that there are a lot of people who have those things happen to them."  I looked at her in amazement and said, "Really??  You mean you never ...." and she said, "No.  You sound like a 'mystic'."           "What's a mystic?"  I asked.    She proceeded to tell me that a 'mystic' was someone who had the type of experiences that I had been describing, that they could see and feel things that others couldn't, and that they understood things that most people don't.

  
            That conversation and her observations opened a door in my subconscious mind and I unknowingly began my journey in Awakening to a Higher Purpose.  I developed an appetite for reading and researching the "unknown", my Christian upbringing made it difficult to accept some of the things that I was uncovering, but I made myself keep an open mind about what I was discovering and experiencing as the Awakening process unfolded.

 
            Several months later, I had a lucid dream where I was invited to attend "The Mystery School".  I was shown a woman writing symbols on a yellow tablet in a very large stone room with extremely high ceilings, she had decided to leave The Mystery School and so a position had opened up and I was invited to fill that position.  I had understood that I wouldn't have to die or leave Earth etc., but would have to give up the "earthly way of life."  I had a boyfriend in jail at the time and I was waiting for him to be released, so I said "thank you" and told them that I wanted to be with my boyfriend when he was released, I asked if I could accept their offer at a later date.  I never received an answer.  Two months later my boyfriend was released and life was good for a few short months, but within less than a year everything began to fall apart and I was praying daily to be accepted into The Mystery School.

 
            I had no concept of what The Mystery School was ... not really ... I only knew that it felt right.  I felt like it would be my saving Grace, I felt like one does when everything else in life is gone and there is only God left to turn to ... I didn't really associate God with it at the time, but I felt an overwhelming presence of Divinity in the invitation to The Mystery School.  For awhile I wondered if I simply had an overactive imagination that was working overtime because of the personal difficulties I was experiencing in my relationship, as real as the dream had felt I had nothing to base it on or compare it to ... until a year or so later.  I mentioned the dream to my brother who was amazed that I had dreamt of The Mystery School without ever having heard of it.  He didn't know much about it, but the fact that he knew of it amazed me because it meant that I hadn't made it all up. 

 
            It took about a year before I actually began my schooling, during that year I went through the process of letting go of my relationship.  Then the first year or two of schooling was sort of like a "prep school" before you enter into college.  I began to have more visions, more lucid dreams, my level of sensitivity to others and my environment grew to the point where it was difficult for me to leave the house, my psychic impressions became stronger and more frequent, I became thirsty to understand what was happening to me and to see if I could find any "hard evidence" that what I was experiencing wasn't just a 'figment of my imagination'.  I began talking in tongues, and doing automatic writing, it had gotten to the point where I couldn't even write a letter to someone because as soon as I sat down with pen and paper messages would start coming through and the letter that I had begun turned into a lesson. 

 
            Then in 1998, while sitting on my mother's front porch, I had a full blown vision of Jesus Christ walking up to me with a long pole over his shoulder and a scarf attached to the end that held his 'belongings' ... he stopped in front of my mother's porch and said, "Pack your belongings in a small satchel and follow me."  and he was gone.  Tears welled up in my eyes as I considered His instructions.  Deep within my heart and soul I knew that I had no choice, but I was sad at the thought of how my little sister (then in her late 20's) was going to be hurt that I was leaving her once again. 

 
            The "Call" was to go to Sedona, Arizona.  I had already been there several times (which is a story in itself), and although I had liked it, I had just recently returned from there and had no intention of returning so soon, but my life has always been pretty much dedicated to God, so I packed my belongings and left a few weeks later.  That's when my schooling started in earnest.  Life shifted quickly for me and although I worked a regular job, had a boyfriend, and tried to live a 'normal' life, I was in school 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 52 weeks out of the year ... for more than 7 years! 

            I was fully aware that every experience was a lesson, and that every lesson was followed by a test.  Some of my hardest lessons came through my relationship with my boyfriend, and I wouldn't have made it through those times if it hadn't been for my relationship with Jesus.  He held my hand while I learned to trust myself, while I learned the true meaning of forgiveness, while I learned to let others have their experiences, and while I learned to love myself. 

            In 2001 I watched the movie "Joan of Arc", it touched me very deeply and I couldn't understand why.  I locked myself up in the bathroom to contemplate the movie and I immediately began to cry.  I begged for God's forgiveness for the sin of thinking that I knew what He wanted, for the sin of letting my ego swell up with the idea that I was someone special, I sobbed until my eyes were red and swollen and I sobbed more when I heard Him say, "I have already forgiven you.  It is you who must forgive yourself."

 
            For the next several years I worked at honing my ability to understand the things that I saw, heard, and felt.  Sedona is a place where psychics like to gather, so I had plenty of mirrors in which to see my reflection and therefore to see myself more clearly.  It is also a place where the Dark Ones like to manifest, so I also had plenty of opportunities to see how we were connected and to learn how to best deal with them.  You do not "fight fire with fire" because it only fans the flames of separation, and the truth is ~ We are not separate. 

            I saw and accepted the darkness that dwells within me, and we have become friends.  I learned that in a world of duality light cannot exist without darkness, and that a way of bringing more light into the world is by accepting responsibility for absolutely everything in my experience.  During one of my lessons I was told, "There are no scapegoats in Heaven." 

 
            Before I even knew that Keen.com existed, I was told to "keen" my abilities; I was amazed when I 'accidentally' came across the Keen website.  It was a scary process for me to open up in order to do readings for people I didn't know, but I stuck with it.  Keen and the callers I have spoken with have definitely been my "God-send" in more ways than I can mention here; with their help I grew exponentially in my understanding and acceptance of Who We Are and why we are here. 

 
            In 2005 I moved back into the center of Sedona, just a few blocks from where I had lived when I left Wisconsin and my family to follow The Call.  I didn't realize that I had come full circle until I'd been instructed that I had "graduated", and as confirmation a friend called to tell me that she had dreamt that I was wearing a gown and in some kind of ceremony.  I tried to continue doing readings, but Sedona is truly a center for psychic activity which made it incredibly difficult to be open enough to do a reading and keep my sanity at the same time.  I had a thousand different thoughts floating through my head, and my sensitivity as an empath meant that I was open to everyone's feelings in the small city of Sedona.  I was quickly losing my grasp on this reality and headed for the psychiatric ward.  I prayed continuously for guidance and I'm grateful that my mother, nephew, and boyfriend talked me out of taking medication to shut out the thoughts that weren't mine. 

            Instead, I was guided to a job at a nearby restaurant where I was hired instantly as a 'server' and I stopped doing readings to serve up smiles and food at the pub.  I immediately began to feel better, and the thoughts slowly receded as I stopped listening.  I was finally experiencing regular life again, no one wanted anything from me except a drink and good food served with a smile.  Throughout the two years that I have worked there, I would occasionally pick up on what someone was thinking or wanted, and the guests would always comment about having a psychic waitress, I would just giggle as I finished taking their food and drink order. 

 
            I was enjoying life as a regular person, and I didn't have any desire to let it go and return to a world of psychic impressions and thoughts that didn't belong to me.  However, I am still and always will be dedicated to God and my Calling as one of His Way Showers, so when I began to receive messages that it was time to return to work on Keen I listened, but I dragged my feet in following that call.  I was scarred from my previous experiences at the edge of insanity, and so I prayed for help.  He soon set me up in a comfortable home outside of Sedona and just off the banks of the Verde River, He gave me a place to call home that is quiet and away from the psychic chatter so that I won't be bombarded by everyone's thoughts and feelings bouncing off of the beautiful Red Rocks. 

      He said I was to return to Keen as "Who I am" and not "What I do" ... so, here I am. 

 
I am a Way Shower ... I can show you the way to find happiness, faith, understanding, peace of mind, heart, and soul.  I am not a fortune teller.  Yes, I do have psychic abilities, and I can see, feel, and hear things that most people can't, but I reserve those gifts of E.S.P. for the soul purpose of helping you to become stronger and more adept at finding your way in these changing times. 

 
As human beings, we have a tendency to get caught up in the illusion.  I know that it is difficult to focus on your spiritual growth when your heart is aching for a love, or when you may not have a job in order to pay the bills and feed the kids.  I know that first your basic egoic needs must be met in order to quiet the mind long enough to hear what is being said, so I will answer whatever questions you may have concerning love and finances, but please keep in mind that I am here as a Way Shower and not a fortune teller. 

 
Wishing you many blessings on your journey,

Mantras and Incantations

Creating Your Own Mantras and Incantations

 

             The power of the spoken word is phenomenal, when we speak a thought outloud we are emitting palpable vibrations that reach out and affect our environment.  Sound is an amazing tool that can alter the shape of anything, or the dynamics of any situation.  Several countries have been experimenting with sound at very low and very high frequencies, it has been discovered that frequencies at various levels can effect changes in not only inanimate objects, but also in the human body and mind.  We as the mass populace, don't have to go out and purchase expensive equipment in order to achieve similar results; the human voice is an awesome tool that can be applied to create changes within our own bodies and/or within our immediate environment. 

 
            "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God."

 
            Mantras and incantations work similarly, they both help to change the way we think and perceive ourselves and life. 

            Mantras are usually simple one line phrases that are always positively focused, and usually focused on the person speaking the mantra; they are meant to improve self esteem and to reconnect us with the Creator of all life, thus allowing us to blossom into a more enlightened state of mind and being. 

            Incantations are usually spoken in order to bring about a change within a person's environment, they are rythmic and spoken in ryhme in order to entice the elements and all of Nature to dance with the instructions of the incantation and bring about the particular desire.  Although incantations are not usually used for spiritual advancement (enlightenment), they can easily be created to do so.  Incantations entice the magic of Nature to become an active participant in our lives, mantras lift our consciousness to a level where we are able to see beyond the limitations of the physical illusion that we live in.  They can be created to bring about the magic of our spiritual growth, rather than being spoken for material gain alone. 

 
            An incantation when phrased appropriately can work like a powerful affirmation; yet, it is a request for assistance from Nature Herself with a more focused desire for a particular outcome.   The rythmical pattern of the words work quicker, because the mind responds in kind, more easily accepting the magical and childish qualities associated with ryhme. 

 
            Creating an effective incantation is easy if you remember the childhood phrase, "Keep it simple Simon."  The following are some simple guide lines to creating an effective incantation.

 
1.)  Keep the lines in pairs.  This incorporates the essence of "two", which is co-operation, duality, working in harmony, opposites and polarities working together to create a positive result.

2.)  Make the last stanza "three" lines.  This will anchor it with the "power of three", or more appropriately ~ the "magic of 3".

 
            "For two come together creating the third; combined, the three become a new entity and we are back to One, with structure and form which is the number four."

 
3.)  Use words that are simple.  State directly and clearly what you mean, what it is that you desire, the way a child would ask for something without all of the flowery adjectives that adults like to use in ryhme.  With simplicity there is less room for error, less chance of a misunderstanding to occur between you and the magic, between you and the energy that you are calling upon for transformation.

 
            "Words worked in simple ryhme, bring back to you the child's mind; fit to use in all its Glory, as you unfold a whole new story."

 
4.)  "Transformation at any level, occurs only through action."  Action is movement in any degree.  Speaking outloud is an action because it requires the movement of your tongue, lips, and vocal cords.  Adding other body movements while speaking the incantation outloud will increase the energetic movement.  You may use your hands to touch your heart, to point the energy in a particular direction, wave your arms through the air, do a little dance, hold your arms out as if you are waiting to embrace someone and then draw them into you ~ this will encourage the magic and energy to become One with you.

 Here is an example of an incantation I created for my spiritual growth, I incorporated the "I Am" phrase used in many mantras:

 
I Am the Seed

of Truth and Love.

 
I Am the Seed

of God Above.

 
Clarity is what I seek

in all I do and all I speak.

 So mote it be,

As I decree

So shall I see.

 
Selah.

 
I incorporated the last word "selah" to let it be known that this was the end of my request and affirmation.  Selah is the archaic term for Amen, it is like saying "the end" yet with reverence to the Almighty Creator.

 
            To create a mantra that will help you in your spiritual growth, begin with the phrase "I am" ... add to it whatever it is that you need in that moment.  For example, when I have a difficult time keeping my cool, I simply say: "I am God's Grace."  I repeat the mantra as often as necessary until I feel the calm returning to me, and I am able to face the situation with love.  I highly recommed that any mantra be repeated at least three times ... when the situation is really difficult, I will repeat it several times with an emphasis on alternating words, like: I am God's Grace.  I am God's Grace.  I am God's Grace.  Then I finish it up by repeating it again without emphasis on any of the words.  It has never failed me.  This particular mantra has always been fast and effective for me.

             Remember, whether you're creating an incantation to bring something to you, or a mantra to raise your energy, "keep it simple simon", and allow the magic to flow around and within you. 

 Selah.
