Changing Our Wallpaper By a Leap Of Faith

There are many patterns in our lives. Patterns of behavior, patterns of thinking. They repeat around us like the patterns in fabric and wallpaper. The wallpaper of our lives. Block print, floral print, geometric. Over time, they grow stale with age and peel along the edges, finger prints along the door frames and around light switches. Aging until we strip the walls bare and sit quietly alone in the room. Quiet in the empty blankness and wait, listening for our heart within. It's after this solitude, after sitting in the emptiness, that we come to know what new color or pattern reflects who we are now. Only then can we decorate our life in ways that speak from the soul.

The scary part can be allowing the silence in. It's the leap of faith. Holding in the moments when you're suspended in mid-air, unsure where you'll land. The period of free fall are unnerving. My experience has been that where I land is always much better then the place I took off from. In hindsight, it was worth taking the leap of faith.

The moments of free fall, of solitude are an ending and a beginning. It's from the choice to allow emptiness to fill us that change happens. An act of loving Self. The love is both the destruction of the old and creation of the new. Joy arrives as the new collor fils the walls of our world we dance in. Our reflected soul life manifesting as our surrounding reality.

Our Free Will to Choose Solutions as a Response

I'll never forget the night I really understood that I have the ability to choose. This was 25 years ago and I'd just started attending the Center For Study of Human Systems. It was like the flood gate opened. I'd never really thought about it before. I had the ability to choose what I did, how I responded to those around me, and how I interpreted the world around me. My head tumbled through so many situations and events in my life seeing over and over again that there had been other possibilities I'd not seen. It was late at night, I was tired and needing to sleep, but my mind couldn't stop reexamining both my past and the present just before me. The whole world was suddenly different.

So as not to be misinterpreted, I was not some Polly Anna compliant child. Independence was a strong value I absorbed in my family. I went after things I wanted, particular things I wanted to learn and do, many of them a bit out of the ordinary. I point this out to show that even though I was used to making some strong choices, I still didn't recognize or understand that I had choices at every given moment. Observation has since led me to believe that not many of us do.

We are all born into and brought up within some form of family system. Every system has a way of operating, whether it's a family, a small business, a city, a multinational corporation, or a nation. The same dynamics operate in all of them. Systems as they develop, form patterns of operation, rules for the components to follow, both spoken and unspoken, roles are defined and filled by the various components, communications patterns form about what gets expressed and how, and what does not get expressed. We are all components in multiple systems, even though this most often is not consciously realized. I'd go as far as saying that for the most part, people aren't that consciously aware of the roles they play, the communication patterns they follow, or that they are following the unspoken rules. We grow up learning that this is the way things are and doing what we think we're supposed to do.

Because we enter into already established systems, whether functional or dysfunctional, for the most part, we do so without recognizing and understanding that at each moment we have the ability to make choices. This is our right to Free Will. It is our birth right here on the planet. A Universal Law. So one could correctly say it is Divinely given.

There is one very, very important caveat to the law of Free Will, while we each have the right to choose for our self, we must do so without imposing our will or infringing on the Free Will of another. Kind of like "First, do no harm" It requires awareness of how our actions affect those around us, perhaps even those far away. Violations of this caveat are rampant. Further explanation is not necessary. You can see it all around you and know immediately when someone is denying you your right. Without a doubt, taking another person's life is the most severe violation of all.

In situations where someone is imposing their will upon us and infringing on our right to Free Will, we each have choices as to how we respond. Most people see only two of the choices. Either submit and be run over, or stand up and fight back. There is, however, at least one other choice available. There may be more; I know some things, but far from everything. For me it took many years and some extremely challenging life circumstance before I recognized a third option available in situations where someone was imposing their will upon me. This other choice is to refuse to play the game, to walk away and live the way you want to without them at all.

Assessing our current circumstances with the dark forces, (however you want to call them - Illuminati/Bilderberg/PowersThatBe/International Criminal Banking Syndicate), when we collectively stop playing their game things will shift immediately. If everyone does something in this regard, it will initiate change. Two ways this can be done. First, choose where and on what you spend your money. If people stop buying their products, they will either go out of business or change what they produce. Second, withdraw your labor for their enterprises. If everyone stops working for the defense contractors, the military, the corporations making toxic products or using unscrupulous practices, they will lose their power to act. It's basically a shift in energy, when enough people withdraw their energy in the form of money and labor, the dark forces will evaporate like the Wicked Witch of the West from a bucket of water.

Anyway, It's a thought :) There are only six degrees, or less, of separation between each of us (by this I mean all six billion). The power of multiplying communication exponentially is huge. It can start by each person telling three friends, and on and on.

There's a last observation worth sharing in this post. That is, the number of those aware is growing quickly, there are some blessed angels among us who've had the courage, dedication, and discipline to gather real news, sound the alarms and inform people about what is going on. None of us like the dark forces' endeavors at all. (Not ot deny that they are serving a purpose) I firmly believe that the forces of Light are stronger and that the Original Creator is really overseeing all. At the same time, the Ascension is about us realizing our Divinity and our power to create what is for the highest good of each and all. We have the Free Will to create solutions and change. It's our choice and it's really time to do this now.

Much more on the subject of solutions to come. For now and always,

May the Light Forces be with you!

Paying Attention

Gradually over a good number of years I've had this ever deepening longing to connect to something I've not been able to describe clearly. Though it's finally becoming clearer to me now. At first it was like a feint whisper that grew slowly and steadily year after year. What I'm longing for has the quality of a dream I just don't quite remember. The something I yearned to connect with, intuitively felt to be a vast level of information that I am certain I've had free access to before, I just don't quite remember how to connect to it. Does this feel at all familiar to you?

I understand now that as my longing grew, I've moved closer and closer to connecting. Actually I realize that my connection has been there all along, just the level of connection has been increasing, strengthening. Over this last year I've recognized that what I've been yearning for is my connection to Source, my Higher Self, or the Universal Mind. Which are really all the same thing. My friend, Julia, has a really nice post on her blog Cosmic Calabash about connecting to Source through the heart.

My intuition has always been very strong, it's just that I've yearned for even more. I've been clairsentient for as long as I remember, despite the fact that I didn't understand I was until about 5 years ago. I had just assumed that everyone understood what others were feeling as I did. It was so easy. I did find it a bit confusing when others didn't get what someone was going through. Once I understood that not everyone had this ability, interactions among people made much more sense to me. In many ways, being clairsentient allows me to read people's minds.

One of the really wonderful aspects of this great transition we are going through, is that we are all opening up. Our sensitivities and levels of awareness are developing and strengthening as we each connect to our inner knowing.

What I'm trying to remember is how I connect in a way that allows me access to any information I desire, retrieve what I need, when I need it. I'm certain I've known how to do this before in other incarnations. In reading Anastasia and the other books in the Ringing Cedars series (I'm on book 4 now), you get a really good picture of this ability, as well as the understanding that this is how we are meant to be. Anastasia is a very good role model of what expanded consciousness is. As you read about her, you see what we are all capable of and understand the direction we're moving towards.

About a week ago, as I was looking for something totally unrelated, I clicked on a link about Universal Mind, which then led me to Remote Viewing. What a coincidence! Don't you love the way this happens? I did a fair bit of reading about the protocols used in Remote Viewing, which was developed by Stanford Research Institute under Department of Defense funding of the Stargate Project to provide the US military with reliable methods to train anyone to be accurate in gathering information from the Universal Mind. The Farsight Institute is a nonprofit research organization which offers a lot of training materials free of charge on their website. I read through their training manual the other night. Remote viewing uses very specific procedures. Most significant under the protocol is that the viewer is blind as to what the target is. My experience as I read through the manual was striking. I could not only see myself doing the steps defined, I could also feel in my body doing what was described in each step of the remote viewing procedures. It all felt very familiar.

Two drawbacks of using the Remote Viewing protocols are having to hide what it is I'm wanting information about behind randomly assigned numbers, and the fact that you have to search blindly through multiple dimensions picking up low definition aspects, then analyze them after the session to arrive at deductions. At the same time, there is a lot of valuable guidance in studying this technique, it's worth checking out.

My style has allows been to have information presented in an easily accessible and well organized form. Akashic Records came to mind. They fit my preference for organized information. Searching on Akashic Records led me last night to a very nice guided mediation that leads you up to and inside the Hall of Records. I'll be going there today once the dogs take their nap and I can travel undisturbed.

Developing skills takes practice. Seems to me that understanding and developing our expanding consciousness requires two things. First, just allowing the changes to unfold within us. That's the flower opening within our hearts. Reactivation of our deactivated strands of DNA. Raising your vibration. It can not be forced. The other aspect is paying attention and practicing in ways that tune our conscious mind to listen, see, and feel with our inner senses. Paying attention is perhaps one of the most important things we can do now.

Bathing in the Showers of Light

Highly vibrating energy streams down upon the planet now. Showering all around us, within us. Like fireworks in reverse, the golden energy shouts down towards us, then disperses into a shower of light fragments. Like "Faerie Dust" Karen Bishop so accurately described it in her most recent post on Emerging Earth Angels. Do you notice it? Feel it moving all around and within you? Experience the Light changing everything on every level of awareness?

As these higher vibrations permeate through everything, it's shaking up anything dark within us - fear, anger, pain, disapointment, desperation, judgment.... Like beating the carpet of our interior, clearing out any dark impurities in our thoughts, emotions, and body, so that we may release these energies we no longer need or want to hold in our being. It's happening both within us and around us on the global stage. The light forces illuminating and exposing the darkness that has controlled our world by illusion for so very long. As the Light Force moves in and expands, the dark energies have less space to occupy. They are becoming more concentrated as they evaporate. They're struggling desperately and in vain to hold their grip, but it's slipping rapidly. They can no longer hide behind secrets, lies, and illusion as more and more people wake up and see through the illusions to the Truth.

On a physical level, I feel great change happening in my body. Standing and walking I feel a strength, power, and groundedness I've not felt as strongly as I do now. My posture now is naturally so erect, yet at ease. It feels as if I'm larger and so much more fully present in my body. Sometimes my foot cramps up uncontrollably, then it passes. A couple of people I know have reported this same occurrence in the past few weeks, a side effect of our taking in this strong, highly vibrating energy and helping to anchor it into the Earth.

Alternating with the expanding sense of power, is tiredness. I'm finding that most days I need to take a nap. Even if I'm not super tired, I fall asleep instantly the moment I lie down and sleep so very deeply. Yet even the tiredness has a pleasantness to it. I experience it as a deep contentment, a relaxing in, and an exceedingly deep relief, as if finally after such a long wait everything is becoming as it should have been all along.

At the emotional level, in the past few days a situation arose with someone I know that echos and mirrors a painful dynamic from my childhood with my mother that took a long time and much effort to work through. The situation presented it's self almost like a test for me to see whether I had really worked through the issue from my upbringing. It was also very mild and I see this recent situation as a rising up of the last dusty remnants of the hurt and anguish and disappointment I'd worked through over the relationship with my mother. It's also been extremely easy to let go of, something I no longer need or want. At the same time, my feelings of joy, contentment, gratitude, peace, and deep appreciation for every singe thing swell and swell within me. Happiness and love expanding within me to levels I've never experienced before. At least not in this lifetime till now. It's all so awesome. This morning I've been so filled with awe that I'd be quite content to just sit quietly throughout the day and simply revel in joy and wonder.

All really is in Divine Order.
