Ascension Symptoms and Tools

The following is taken from Shakina's latest newsletter "Ascension Symtoms, Tools & Revelations".

While Shakina directly channels energy of the Blue Ray, her message applies to all who are experiencing the symptoms of ascension no matter what one's original soul group. As we follow the path of raising our vibration as a people and as a planet, the distinctions between us become less and less clear. For truly we are all working together toward a common goal - the shift from third density to fourth, fifth, and beyond.

For the curious, here's a brief explanation from Shakina explaining the Blue Ray. For more information visit her website.
The Blue Ray Beings are an ultra-sensitive empathic soul group like the Indigos that came from many different ascended planets and light realms to enlighten the genetic code of humanity and raise the God consciousness on Gaia. They are the lost ray of the Light Worker.

It's Time To Take Your Power Back
We wish you to know what the great shift of your time means, that all beings on the planet and the earth are going through a purification at the depths of their inner core and all at once. A powerful celestial alignment from the central Source has increased the release of dense discordant energies to prepare you for 2012 and beyond.
Are you taking on the energies of the world? Time to stop over empathing.

Empathing by taking on earth energies and unconsciously taking on other people's pain is causing you to be overwhelmed and stuck in density. Many of you may not even be aware that you do this as it has been a part of your contract for so long.

This part of your mission is over! This is very important, as it will be difficult to reach the next frequency vibration if you are drained, working on others and the earth all the time. For this in itself can be a diversion of becoming your true holy essence of light, your ascension.

We know of your sacred heart connection with Gaia and how you love her. Know that you will continue to assist her but in a new way that does not take your power. In every way you are being challenged in your belief systems. How you will know what is real and true is through the sacred divine feminine, your inner core - your body and being will tell you. Developing and trusting this most holy relationship with your self is of the utmost importance and your most cherished sacred gift.

12:12

The sacred divine feminine is already innately powerful within you, as you came through the ray of creation that would bring her essence and balance to the planet. Trust and be what you already are.

This is what the great shift of 2012 and beyond is calling for - the surrender and release of holding onto the past - thoughts, beliefs, anything discordant in nature will be set free and brought into balance.

We suggest to start using and directing your holy power, meaning wholeness, and the tools of your ancient star essence, for they are being activated. Work with Source, called the unified field and Cosmic Pulse, the ultimate sacred power of oneness; it is time to expand your awareness.

Ascension Symptoms, Tools and Revelations

Wanting to cry for no reason
Feeling extra vulnerable even when you are in familiar settings. Take care and nurture yourself. This is part of your ascension process as you are allowing parts of your true nature to emerge.

Headaches
Your pineal and pituitary glands are receiving more light frequency which creates more connections in the mind to the divine mind; there is pressure and releasing in the body when this happens. Take both hands, fingertips at the center of your forehead, and with light pressure pull fingers apart to your temples. Repeat. Drinking more water, e.g. spring water, which is of higher life essence, will assist.

Throat issues
Phlegm in your throat, sinus issues and coughing

Those of the Blue Ray and many light bearers, are here to express the will of God though the expression of the sacred divine feminine. As your spirit speaks another language of light, unity and nature, communicating on the earth realm has been challenging. Speaking with words may have taken your whole life to do and you may still be working on this. This area of the throat chakra is being rejuvenated and purified to a higher communion with your I Am presence and Creator. Your voice and expression of God is being recalibrated at a frequency that is in divine alignment with your true essence.
The situation may call for you now to speak up, write, channel and express your self through the power of your being and the light of the sacred divine feminine.

Solar plexus anxiety and releasing
The solar plexus is being cleared, aligned and balanced to reestablishing your divine power. We see your solar plexuses are full of energies as is earth and there is a huge release occurring at this time. This release is assisting you to be more in the natural flow with yourself, aligning to Source Creator and in your full divine power.

Deep buried emotions will come up from out of nowhere with great intensity to the point where you may be consumed with this emotion. Do not charge this emotion or keep it held in the energy body - it is only up for a release. It takes only a few moments to transform them forever.

For intense emotional release
We suggest moving your eyes in a zigzag pattern, from upper left to upper right, to middle left to middle right, lower left to lower right, then dart your eyes straight up and then down, making sure you are breathing, saying, "I forgive myself, I love you and release you, thank you for serving me, it is over, I come into the present, releasing you to prime Creator." Toning or a humming sound will assist greatly.

Use sage at your solar plexus
Use sage, cedar and other clearing and cleansing herbs at your solar plexus. Use the sage starting in the center of your solar plexus in a counterclockwise circle, making larger circles until you reach around your whole body. Do circles again starting at the center of your solar plexus now in a clockwise pattern, making larger circles until you reach around your whole body; then put your left hand on your solar plexus and right hand 4 inches above your head connecting to your soul star, bringing balance and higher divinity to your body and being.

You may feel the need to do this twice or more times a day until you feel cleared.

Digestion and needing more life force
Your body and being are wishing for more life light force to assist your ascension, your embodiment of your true essence, divine original blue print. Much of the foods and liquids have less life light God force in them. This is why you may feel hungry all the time and right after you eat. It was the life light God force that you were craving.

Think and feel in terms you are not eating because you are hungry, you are eating to nourish your essence and being. What you eat and drink has consciousness that can assist your cells to be awakened or deadened to the light life force. Eating is a sacred communion with God to nourish your true essence and body. When eating we suggest the release of all soul fragments to Creator, blessing your food wholeheartedly, restoring your food to a divine state of God/Light and complete nourishment.

When you are shopping for food, use your ethereal vision and feeling to see and feel what foods and liquids have the most life light force coming from them. Once you shift your consciousness in this way, you will be able to discern the highest empowerment in all that you do in your life. This is one of your sacred gifts that you already possess, to assist you in being able to navigate here on earth and especially at this time of the great purification.

Revelations
You will see hidden truths, revealed secrets and information disclosed in your world and media that may be shocking to many.

The universe and real matter are speaking to you with heightened synchronicity. Life will be validating who you are, showing you the difference your presence has made in the world.

Embrace the beauties that are coming to you. It is the return of your Holy magnificence. Wherever you are, beloved Blue Ray and light Bearer, the tides are changing. Discordant energies are being brought to Prime Creator for good. They have no power over you! These dense discordant vibrations cannot exist any longer in the world for there is not a structure to support them. This is the great purification.

The Light and love of God is the only true power and this is what you came here to be. You, my most sacred beloved, are doing just that. Know that you are on the path, on your mission. For we know the depths of your beauty and spirit and how important it is in your heart of hearts to be on your path of light. You are, you truly are!! We in all the stars and heavens support you, honor you and are with you every step, even when you feel alone - you cannot be.

All of God and Creation are reaching out to you in Light and Love. We are here in great force serving and empowering you. We are One!

Exploring Multidimensionality

As we move further and further along our ascension path, the path from 3rd density to 4th and 5th density, we begin opening our eyes to the bigger reality in which we live. That reality includes the idea that we are multidimensional beings, with access to other dimensions that surround us, just out of range of our 3D eyes.

Many of the children being born now are born with the tools to access these dimensions. Unlike those of us who have been kicking around on the planet for awhile, these children easily slip between dimensions, see and converse with other dimensional beings, and they know that they do. You will not convince a child with these capabilities that they do not have them—they know better. But to them they aren't using tools, they are just being, doing what is natural.

The 'veil' that the rest of us have lived with since our birth, the one that keeps us deeply entrenched in duality, is thinning. As it thins, as our own vibration increases and our bodies take on new attributes (which is happening with and without our awareness), we are developing the same tools that our young children are being born with. We have these tools as innately available as our children do, but we have to learn what they are and exercise them in order to become proficient in them.

The differences in dimensions is based on vibration. It's like the proverbial example of tuning in a radio station. Each station broadcasts continually, but we aren't aware of those broadcasts until we tune our receiver (radio) to the station that we want to hear. So it is with our bodies. Our bodies are evolving to be ever more capable as a tuning station for multidimensional reality. All we have to do is know that this is true, that these are tools and skills available to everyone, and to begin practicing that which our young children already inherently know.

Steve Rother and the group spoke of the ability to shift dimensions in one of the Beacons of Light broadcasts in January of 2006. They talked about how to begin training ourselves to shift our focus in order to see into these other dimensions—to see with our inner eyes not only our physical eyes. Interesting stuff, and completely doable. Many adults are already achieving astounding results at becoming familiar with shifts in dimension, seeing and feeling that which up to now has been the domain of very few.

If you've been noticing odd shadows just outside your field of vision .. if you've been hearing, seeing, smelling, or feeling odd sensations that come into your awareness but seem to move out of awareness as soon as you try to detect them with your 3D physical senses .. you have likely been tinkering, at a subconscious level, with other dimensions. Now you have the ability to play with those dimensional shifts consciously, if you so choose.

If you have any interest in this subject at all, you might enjoy (below) what Steve and the group had to say about multidimensionality, and a tool they explain that will help you explore this very exciting concept. The exercise given by the group is about the orthogonal matrix. After the group's message I've posted an article by Becky Hannah that summarizes and clarifies that exercise.

Orthogonal Matrix 
Becoming Multidimensional


From the Group:

Greetings from Home.

We greet you with the warmest of greetings for we are once again in the presence of masters. You, dear ones are the masters of the Game of Free Choice and we revere you more than you will ever know. You have created miracles in your daily life that has changed the course of All That Is. Even this day you are making choices that will project you far beyond the greatest hope of humanity. These are exciting times.

Dimensional Shifting - The Next Evolution

Humans playing the Game of free choice are currently experiencing a state of evolution unmatched throughout all of eternity. Never before has such a game anywhere evolved at the rate that you are right now. The children being born into your world now are entering with attributes that humans have not held before. As we described the entrance of the Crystal Children, one of the signs we said to watch for was that they were interdimensional beings capable of existing in two places at one time and crossing what you believe to be the boundaries of time and space. It was easy for you to accept that these children had new and improved attributes, but we also tell you that you will evolve to possess these same gifts that they were born with. You are becoming interdimensional beings as you raise your vibrational level.

The Game of Three’s

When you wake up in the morning, you actually enter a dimension of time and space that is a narrow vibrational range in which you spend most of your waking hours. The illusion of reality that exists within that narrow band was created for you to have an experience as souls pretending to be human. Your natural state as a soul allows you to move and experience a much wider band of vibration than that to which you are accustomed. That is now changing.

Your entire world is made up of three’s. The cosmos is based on a mathematical base system of twelve, yet the Game of free choice is a fraction of that vibration based on three. All of your world and everything in it can be reduced to the number three. The cosmic joke on this side of the veil is that you have called it the third dimension. Now that range is expanding. As you begin to experience other dimensions it will be helpful to have tools that help you cross from one dimensional level to the next. This is not new information on Earth, as it has been known by many as far back as ancient Egypt. It was believed even then that the world was made up of three’s and that the door between dimensions was accessed through a 90-degree turn. This is known to science today as the Orthogonal Theory.

Leaving the Linear Hallway of Time

You are infinite spirits pretending to exist within a finite world and a finite body. The bubble of biology that houses your spirit has a beginning and an end. This allows you to experience life within a framework of linear time. That is to say that you experience life in the past, present or the future.

Imagine that you experience life in a narrow hallway. You travel down that hallway backwards. You can see your past and the present can be seen if you are observant, but the future cannot be seen at all. The reason your reality looks like a narrow hallway is that you are limited to the vibrational range that you can see and live in. Imagine that you have blinders on that keep your vision focused in the linear hallway of time. Now you are expanding those blinders to include a wider range of vision, which gives you the chance to see and move into other hallways. Each of these hallways intersects yours at a 90-degree angle.

This is the secret of removing the illusion of linear time. As your vision expands you will see and begin to use these doorways to other dimensions of time. We tell you that even what you think of as time travel is not what you believe it to be. The reality is that it is much easier than you are imagining.

When you understand the relationship of the Orthogonal reality to the golden mean you will uncover the illusion of linear time. For now let us begin to show you practical uses of being a multidimensional spirit. We have spoken often that your reality is a direct relationship to the point from which you view it. In other words, your perception determines your reality. Change your point of perception and you automatically change your reality. We have also given you exercises to shift your reality by changing the camera angle through which you view it. Now we take that one step further and ask you to begin viewing your reality from multiple locations at the same time. It is the illusion of linear time that makes you think you are limited to one existence. In reality you are multidimensional beings and, therefore, can easily exist in multiple locations at one time. Imagine having a life experience that you can see clearly from multiple camera angles. That is a direct step of carrying your divinity into human form, and it is available to each and every one of you this day.

The Orthogonal Matrix

As spirits pretending to be human you exist within an energy matrix. The matrix you inhabit determines the way you are wired for energy and life experiences. Your energy matrix determines the first effect of everything that you experience as a human. When you are in the first stage of life as a soul getting ready for an incarnation, you choose life lessons and choose the way you will carry those life lessons. You either carry these lessons through an energy matrix (the way you will be wired for energy), or through an energy stamp (energy which is stamped upon you by a life experience or event). As you master the life lesson you can rewrite an energy stamp, but you can never change or alter an energy matrix. You can only master the matrix for it is a part of you. What we tell you now is that as you evolve you will find ways of building new energy matrices that overlay your original matrix. Much the way we told you that the hologram of the Third Earth will overlay the original hologram that first began Earth, you as an individual can also overlay your original matrix as long as that overlay is in harmony with the original matrix. Here is where we ask you to begin building an Orthogonal Matrix that will allow you to experience and stretch out into the many dimensions of time and space that exist all around you. Your personal Orthogonal Matrix will allow you to become multidimensional beings today.

Much of what we say at this point may seem on the far out edge, yet in the very near future earth science will support what we speak of today. It will most likely be the development of artificial intelligence that uncovers the secrets of what really holds your world together. You are on the edge of great advances in science and technology that will lead you into the new era of empowered man.

Multidimensionality

Now, if you wish to understand a little more about dimensionality, here are a couple of simple exercises that you can do. If you would like to know the difference between one dimension and the next, hold your nose and take a deep breath, then stick your head under water. Under water you are in a different dimension of time and space. Light is refracted differently and sound travels differently. Actually, time is experienced differently under water but you have not discovered that part yet. We tell you that everything acts differently in that other dimension. Many of you have experienced this personally. It is as simple as getting on an airplane and getting off in a different city far away. Your cell phone rings and it is a person back home calling to talk to you. You can talk with them as if they are standing in the next room, yet there is a dimensional shift that happens. When you talk to them from such a distance, it is not the same as talking to them on that same cell phone within the same city because there was a dimensional shift that happened when you got on that airplane.

There is a dimensional time shift that often happens, even though you are not aware of it. These shifts are so simple that most of the time you do not notice them as differences. Even if you do notice them, you do not feel that they are something you need to adjust to—and they are not. What we tell you is that as you walk down this hallway with this increased range of vibration that you now perceive, you will start to see things off to the side that you have never noticed before. Some of those will actually be hallways of linear time and space that go at a right angle to yours. Since your world is made up of threes, 90 degrees holds great signifi-cance when moving between worlds. Those are called orthogonal relationships. What we will give you this day is an opportunity to create and live in an Orthogonal Matrix, which houses your spirit and allows you to shift from one dimensional reality to another. It will take some getting used to, and it will take making what you call mistakes. It will take some practice, but today we will give you the essence of building an intentional Orthogonal Matrix which allows you to shift dimensions readily and bi-locate. Where you go with that from here is up to you, but we will give you the seeds and ask you to expound on it.

Bi-Locating your Life Camera

So, here you are living in this world and having your challenges. Oh we love your challenges, for you have set them up with such great care. Know that it was so important for you to wake up one morning and hit that brick wall, so that you could then learn something that was very important to your soul’s advancement. But then you would say, “What am I doing wrong?” Know that you are not doing anything wrong. You have simply set that lesson up for yourself. The challenge is that you are only looking at it from a one-dimensional perspective. If instead you were able to take a right turn at that point, bi-locate in two dimensions of time and space at once and then look back at any problem, situation, challenge or any point in time, you would have the understanding of Home on your side. That is the process of bringing Heaven to Earth this day, and that is a gift that the children of higher vibration—the Children of the New Earth—are born with. They still do not know how to use it, nor do you, but it is time to begin using it.

The Exercise of Building an Orthogonal Matrix

Imagine that you are living in a timeframe much like a hallway or tube with energy flowing through it. You have simply been moving with the flow of energy. Now imagine that there is another dimension of time and space flowing directly above your head. Connect to the flow of energy directly above your head, tapping into it with a 90-degree angle. Simply visualize that 90-degree angle and feel the energy making a turn and entering your body. Breathe that energy into your being, and allow it to settle in the center of your being. Once there you will breathe it into another 90-degree turnsending it out into your hips, then followed by a third 90-degree turn down your legs to connect the energy with the Earth. That gives you three 90-degree turns and honors both the 90-degree doorway and the world of three’s. By doing that, your energetic soul reacts and builds a matrix almost like a new set of wiring. That new wiring must be reinforced in order to build the matrix. The more that you do this exercise, the easier it becomes to connect with other dimensions. Soon it will become a part of who you are, and you will walk inside of the Orthogonal Matrix all of the time.

The Orthogonal Matrix allows you to see things that you have not seen before. Sometimes you can even see the higher purpose of who you are and what the experience is that you are receiving. Is that not a gift? Perhaps in one dimension you may see a challenge, but from the view of another dimension that challenge is actually a gift. Would it not be grand for you to re-member what you had in mind before you came here on Earth? Would it not be wonderful to know why bad things happen to good people and vice versa? When you understand the multidimensionality, the ideas of good and bad seem less important. Would it not be wonderful if you had the higher concepts of Home that you could carry with you every day? Building an Orthogonal Matrix is one of the first steps in achieving that, and in existing in two places simultaneously while retaining full perception.

The other exercise we will ask you to do is a series of three breaths. As you bend the energy to tap into the first energy at the first 90-degree turn, take three very deep breaths. Pause for a moment as the energy comes and connects into the center of your being. At the center of your being, take three more very deep breaths and bend the energy into one or both of your hips. Pause for a moment taking another set of three breaths. You are honoring the Orthogonal Matrix you are building. You are honoring the set-up of the world and the illusion of the Game of Planet Earth that you have created to have this experience. At the same time, it allows you to step into a higher reality.

The first couple of times you do it you will say, “That felt nice, but I did not see anything. I did not feel anything.” Please understand that in the very beginning it will happen so fast that your soul will gain a second perception even though you felt like you did not feel anything. The more you practice and work with building and strengthening your Orthogonal Matrix, the more time you will spend existing in a higher dimension of time and space, and being able to walk in that gift every single day. You are empowered humans. You are stepping into the higher vibrations of the New Planet Earth and you are bringing these beautiful dense bubbles of biology with you. You are learning to live as angels playing a Game of being human—and you are doing more than you could possibly ever know. It is not about you. It is about all of us.

Your Game has gone far beyond what you have ever hoped to create as a collective in the Game of Free Choice. Now with that free choice firmly in place, you are stepping into creating something magical. The human race is evolving. You are re-turning Home. Wow! You are still here. That is magical indeed. That was the highest possibility that could ever come of any Game. We tell you there is no grand plan in place. There is nothing you must do to activate. What we have given you today as the Orthogonal Matrix is a simple exercise for you to understand that you are already multidimensional, and for you to be able to see it and use it. Your heart energy wishes to grow. That is why you are here. That is why you come to these meetings. That is why you wish to read and watch these messages. We give you the tools to step out of yourself into another experience, even for just a moment.

Play with the Orthogonal Matrix. Create something magical for you. Allow yourself not only to step into another dimension of time and space, but to live in both places simultaneously. If it brings you joy, then we have been successful in our journey for we want nothing more than to spread our wings and show you your own magnificence. You are the masters of the Game Board. You are changing the Game every second of every day and we applaud you from this side of the veil, like you have never known before.

Carry it well, dear ones. Play with it. Enjoy the ride and we leave you with three simple re-minders. Treat each other with the greatest respect for you are looking into the eyes of God. Nurture one another at every opportunity for you are nurturing yourself. Re-member that it is a Game, and play well together.

Espavo.
the group

Becky Hannah has summarized and clarified the orthogonal exercise given by the group to make it easier to understand and use. Here's what Steve had to say about Becky, followed by the article that she wrote. Enjoy!
From Steve:

After the messages are presented live each month, they are transcribed by the transcription team headed by Becky Hannah. Becky usually translates the Beacons herself and I tell her that she is one of the few people that probably knows the Group as well as I do. Becky sent this month’s message out to several of her friends along with a personal note about what it is and the exercise the Group gave us. I share it with you here as it describes perfectly what you are about to read.

Orthogonal Matrix
Based on information presented in the
Beacons of Light—February, 2006
Becky Hannah

My deepest gratitude to Steve Rother for bringing through this information from the Group. Espavo my friend!

The Group’s latest Beacons introduced the word orthogonal to me and explained that all experience on Planet Earth is made up of threes. Everything can be brought down to its purest essence with a 3, and 3 threes make 9. It is the 90-degree turn that ties all of them together. Makes sense to me. After all, Jimmy Buffet once sang, “The whole world lies waiting behind door number 3”. Okay, I’m curious.

Steve then explained to me that in mathematics, orthogonal is synonymous with perpendicular when used as a simple adjective that is not part of any longer phrase with a standard definition. It means at right angles. It comes from the Greek ortho, meaning right, and gonia, meaning angle. Two streets that cross each other at a right angle are orthogonal to one another. Okay. Good to know. Now what?

The Group then stated that with practice, your energetic soul reacts and builds a matrix, almost like a new set of wiring that you have not had before. Through this exercise not only are you honoring the matrix you are building, but also honoring the illusion of the Game of Planet Earth that you have created to have this experience. Okay. Now I want to play.

The following exercise will build and strengthen your own orthogonal matrix so that you’ll be able to gain a higher perspective of where you are in the moment. The Group has often given the analogy that we are driving our own double-decker bus. Being on the top deck, they can see a bit further down the road and can clue us in as to where we’re headed, but we are always in control of whether or not to turn or if we turn at all. While we may not have been born with the ability to be in two places at the same time, we have arrived at a juncture of time and space where it is fully supported. We have gifted ourselves with this new energy tool and I know it’s a big piece for me—although I don’t understand it very well right now—but perhaps it will benefit you as well. The bonus is that it allows you to step into another experience—like driving the double-decker bus and also being on the top deck. Gotta love that magic bus! Enjoy the ride.

Please do not become discouraged if you don’t notice anything the first few times you try this because your mind doesn’t necessarily have a frame of reference (my take on it anyway). Yesterday the quote I got when I pulled up the Lightworker home page was: Practice makes perfect so be careful what you practice. How about that for a cosmic wink?

Re-member that it is not about you. It is about all of us.

Let’s Get Orthogonal

Set aside about 15 minutes when you’ll be uninterrupted—at least the first time you try this. Stand or lie down—whichever is more comfortable for you. Release all expectations that you have even the slightest clue of what you will experience. Allow and be mindful of your breath. Allow for any potential and/or possibility.

Visualize a 90° angle to the flow just above you. (I see it more as a flowing river just above my head). Feel the energy and the life force—which is actually another timeline complete with another you in another version of the Game.

• relax and take 3 deep breaths to connect to the timeline energy above you
• take a right turn and bend the energy down and into the center of your being (I see it flowing into and pooling/filling my solar plexus (you may see/feel/hear/sense/experience it differently)
• pause/allow and take 3 deep breaths
• take a right turn and bend the energy down through one or both of your legs
• pause/allow and take 3 deep breaths as you connect with Gaia
• relax and allow whatever you see/feel/sense/hear/experience

The Way of the Warrior

Always a favorite of mine, Chief Joseph through John Cali has a way of pinpointing in few words, the most inspiring of messages. Enjoy this video of such a message, creatively adapted to music and imagery by ReinisI and posted to youtube for all of us to experience.



Note: If the imbedded ads box appears at the bottom of the video screen, click the 'close button' ( x ) of the ads box to make it disappear.

Following are the words from which the video was created. Many thanks to John Cali and Chief Joseph.


Chief Joseph

The Way of the Warrior is simple. However, as you have often heard me say, it may be simple but it's not always easy. Today I would like to give you a few of my simple guidelines or "rules of the road," if you will. And that road is the Way of the Warrior.

The Warrior always speaks her truth - no matter what the circumstances.

The Warrior is totally detached from what others think and say about her. (This is absolutely necessary if she's going to observe the first rule above.)

The Warrior always does her best to see the divinity in all that is. In this way, she shall never have any desire to own, control, manipulate, misuse or abuse any of the Great Spirit's creatures.

The Warrior always follows the highest path as dictated by the highest authority in the Universe - herself.

The Warrior totally trusts in - and surrenders to - the flow of her life. She knows all is as it should be. Therefore, she must always completely trust in - and surrender to - her Higher Self, her Soul, the Great Spirit.

The Warrior knows all Love, all Wisdom, all Power lie within her - within her heart, her mind, her body, her Soul. There is nothing to seek, nothing to find, nowhere to go - except WITHIN.

The Warrior knows with absolute certainty she has never make a mistake - she can never make a mistake. All of her life is simply a lesson in this classroom called Planet Earth. She learns as she goes. All is as it should be.

The Warrior never takes life on Planet Earth too seriously. It's all a game, after all - a game in the classroom of Planet Earth. And games should be fun. Enjoy the game - it won't last forever!

The Warrior's heart is always full - and always grateful. She never knows lack or emptiness - except, that is, when she creates those illusions by getting too infatuated with the Great Illusion - the human experience.

The Warrior knows the Great Illusion creates some highly interesting challenges - for example, the challenge to rise above the Great Illusion.

As she rises above the Great Illusion, the Warrior knows this experience is as it should be - she has chosen it. And in this choosing, she is remembering her way back to the Light - back to her Home. That was the only reason for choosing the Great Illusion in the first place.

The Warrior knows all her brothers and sisters on Planet Earth have the same destination she does - HOME. But each may take a different path. And the Warrior knows that's okay! All will get Home - no matter what path they take. It cannot be otherwise - for ALL paths lead HOME.

The Warrior knows the way of the wind. She loves the wind, but she knows she cannot capture it - she cannot own it. She can love it, luxuriate in its presence, glory in its energy. But if she tries to capture it, it becomes something other than what it truly is - it becomes still and stagnant air. She can never possess it completely - unless she refuses to ever own it - unless she refuses to ever have sovereignty over it. She can possess it only by letting it be free - by letting it be what it is.

It cannot be otherwise. The Way of the Warrior is the Way of the Wind.

Beliefs and Creating

It's always been true that we create from our thoughts, or differently put, from that which we focus upon. It's always been true that we create our own reality. It's always been true that our 'negative' thoughts and habits would return to us in some negative way, and very likely return to us magnified. But in the past, the response of our thoughts into manifestation, either for what we want or what we don't want, has been slow. If it was something we wanted, abysmally slow. If it was something we didn't want, so much time had passed that we didn't even know what had caused the negative manifestation. In fact, the process was so slow that the vast majority of mankind was blissfully unaware they were creating their own reality.

Things are different now. We no longer have the luxury of time to intercede for us to soften the blow. But on the flip side, we draw manifestation of our positive desires very quickly! In today's energy, which an entirely new kind of energy (even though we can't 'see' any difference), our thoughts are returning to us as creations faster than ever. Now more than ever is the time to become consciously aware of what we are creating, or potentially creating, and to begin intending our way into the life that we want to live, the type of planet we want to live on, the type of people and attitutdes that we want surrounding us. It's more important than ever to be consciously creating as opposed to creating by default.

A continued thought, over time, becomes a belief. Another way beliefs get created is from thoughts imbued with great emotion, such as when we experience a dramatic event, perhaps an accident, or abuse, or any experience where we were deeply frightened, or perhaps deeply inspired. From such events we often create an instantaneous belief. We automatically follow that belief by continually finding evidence to support it. The more 'evidence'—real or imagined—the stronger the belief becomes. It might end up as what we call a 'core' belief.

A core belief is one that you don't question. It becomes reality for you. Core beliefs aren't seen as beliefs, they are seen as truths. You don't argue with your core beliefs, you are them. If you state something about yourself "I am ... " and people argue with you about it, "oh you are not!" and you always or almost always respond, generally vehemently, in your mind if not out loud, "Yes I am!", you're probably dealing with a core belief.

But no matter how strong or weak a belief is—core beliefs or ones that are not so deeply entrenched—they all originate as a thought. Since all beliefs originate as thought, we can use thought to either break them up, or to simply create new patterns of thought that are stronger than the unwanted belief. Shifting our thoughts allows us to stop focusing creating things we don't want to create in our lives by shifting to things we do want to create.

Abraham, channeled by Esther Hicks, has a number of helpful suggestions and practices to help us begin breaking up our beliefs, even if we don't realize they are beliefs. Doing that then allow us to create as we consciously wish, not automatically by our unconscious beliefs—unless that which we are creating automatically is what we wish to create!

It takes diligence and it takes some effort, mental and emotional effort, to start creating consciously, through conscious intent. This is the kind of effort we aren't so used to exercising. We are mostly "do-ers" and doing is great! Not much gets created if we don't do something!

But let's examine what we commonly 'do'. Look at the major portion of any day in your life and generate an estimate of how much of that day is following along, doing without even thinking. How much of every day is blindly doing what we've always done simply because we've always done it, not even being aware of how we feel when we do it. Is it 20% of your day? 50%? 90%? more?

It doesn't matter. We are where we are, and where we are is where we start. We start with an intent to start noticing how automatically we do what we do, and we notice that behavior without attaching the typically guilt, shame, upset that we typically add. Begin to notice. Notice just one thing that you do automatically that doesn't serve you. Then make an intent to focus just a few minutes a day on the opposite of what doesn't serve you.

Know that this process is cyclic. You might follow along easily for awhile, noticing and intending, and be very proud of yourself. Then you don't even think about doing the process for awhile, and feel guilty about not doing so. Avoid falling into that trap. If a baby falls down in it's attempts to walk, it doesn't chastise itself for falling, it picks itself up and tries again. That's all we need to do - pick ourselves up and try again.

Here's some information from Jennifer Hoffman of Uriel Heals, with additional information on focus and conscious creation:

Emotional Baggage and Nothing

The energy of the Universe is comprised of nothing, not in the sense that we are all alone because there is nothing else out there, but in the sense of "no thing", it is pure potential waiting to take form. There amount of power at our disposal is beyond our human comprehension because we have unlimited power to manifest anything we want, from any aspect of our life. And we generally choose the aspect that is most obvious to us, our emotional baggage.

Why would we create from our baggage, from our most challenging aspects instead of something more wonderful, fulfilling and life-affirming? Because the ego believes that by focusing on the areas that make us feel powerless we will feel more powerful. So everywhere we have pain, frustration, disappointment, betrayal, anger, or fear is where our focus is. These are the "squeaky wheels" of our life and they get the most attention because we believe that by addressing them, they will go away and the rest of our life will fall into place.

Since energy follows intention, by giving our emotional baggage lots of attention we simply create more of its kind of energy. Instead of feeling more powerful we are powerless because we now have more aspects of our fear to deal with. And then we think the Universe is against us, that all the power of nothing does is create more problems. But to the Universe, power is simply power and it never judges us. Any energy we put out is acted upon and it does not pause to assess whether we are creating what we want.

We can use the power of nothing for our highest potential through detachment, removing our emotional baggage from the creation process. In this moment, is your emotional baggage valid? It is from the past, so its power lies in the past. Because we are at our most powerful in the present moment, our best use of our co-creative abilities is in the present, working with the present moment's energy. This week, be aware of any emotional baggage you are giving attention to, trying to avoid or creating from. Shift your thinking to the present moment because that is your place of greatest potential. Use your co-creative power to create the best, most wonderful, joyous and abundant reality possible.

Remind Yourself Why

This little gem comes from Maja at The Smiling Soul.

Such a perfect example of a smiling soul is Maja. Many thanks and much love to you Maja!
You know what you must do. And yet how do you get yourself to do it?

Again and again, remind yourself why. With a strong enough reason why, you will be able to do anything at any time in any circumstance.

If you're tempted to put off a task until later, remind yourself why you truly want to get it done. Put a powerful why behind it, and you'll find a way to do it now.

Real achievement demands many consistent, focused efforts spread over long periods of time. The way to keep it up is to keep it meaningful.

Give your long-term intentions the opportunity to dispel the short-term, momentary urges. With a clear, solid purpose firmly in mind, you'll stay reliably on track.

Whatever you choose to imagine can happen for you. Constantly give your goals a sincere reason why, and you'll bring them steadily to life.

Speaking Your Truth

We've all heard the term 'speaking your truth'. It means to say what we feel in our heart, no matter how many roadblocks our fears and habits set before us.

Speaking our truth is hard for some and easy for others. It all depends on what parameters we set for ourselves as we enter the Game of Free Choice on Planet Earth, and how much work we've done on our path of personal growth.

Here's what Story Waters had to say on this subject:

Story Waters Thought for the Day Oct 3, 2009:
It is time to meet and play with your unexpressed self - the unspoken self, contained within. Learn to notice when you feel inhibited or self-conscious as a signpost to your fear. Transform unspoken fear into freedom through speaking what you fear to speak. Cease to contain yourself and simply be yourself in free expression. Be uncontainable.
He clarified further with this comment:
Sometimes speaking your truth is going to hurt other people deeply. Learning the ability to express these personal truths with love, clarity, and without manipulation is the best we can do in these situations, but even within that what is said must still match what is felt to be authentic.

To be whole we must embrace what we feel, light and dark. To choose to not upset people rather then speak what you feel is a totally valid choice for life - it is not however what I choose for myself. Please take what resonates and leave the rest.
For the Indigos among us, speaking our truth is like 'duh!' .. it comes easily and naturally for them, and they don't much care who gets hurt when they speak. They're wired to know that it's not their responsibility to manage how their comments land, it only matters that they speak them. Their job is to teach us to manage our own responses to their bluntness, to take responsibility for how we feel when someone speaks to us, to help us take our own power back. They may appear brazen at times, but that's on purpose, they incarnated with those skills to help us learn about ourselves and grow to be more like them.

The lesson for Indigos is different than for the rest of us - their task is to learn how to 'soften the blow' so to speak, of their communications, to recognize when it's time to pull out the stops and just express, and when to stand back a little bit, see the bigger picture, to speak their full truth but to do so compassionately.

For most us, speaking our truth is sometimes easy and sometimes difficult. If we care how others feel about what we say, we will we clam up or only say part of what we want to say when we see or expect that the response to what we want to say will be negative (hurt, anger, upset, guilt, belittling, recrimination, retaliation or even revenge). In doing that we allow our fear to dictate what we say (and do). If we don't care about how others feel, then it becomes easy to say what's in our heart. Not caring doesn't necessarily mean cold-hearted, it can mean that we've learned that it is each listener's responsibility to determine how they feel about what is said, that's not the messenger's responsibility.

For those of us with a Life Lesson of Truth*, speaking our truth is the hardest of all 'lessons' to learn. Those with such a life lesson set their current life up to give them numerous opportunities to move through the fear of speaking their truth. The opportunities are set in early childhood either to mimic fears carried over from other lifetimes, or to experience such fears and conquer (acknowledge, accept, appreciate, love, and then release) them. If you have a life lesson of truth, it's more important than ever that you walk through your fears and allow yourself to speak and act in accordance with what is in your heart. If someone gets hurt by your words or actions then they do, but know that it's their responsibility to discover why what is said to them affects them in a negative way, not yours. Your responsibility is to say and do what's there in your heart to be said and done.

For all of us, no matter how we are 'wired', we can learn to speak our truth and present those words in such a way that empowers others instead of disempowering them. That is perhaps the hardest skill to develop, but well worth working at.
