The Universe and You

There are—among scientists, physicists, and astronomers—raging debates about some of the unknown factors that are being discovered in the cosmos. Below is a talk from Kryon that addresses some of those issues. Be prepared to expand your thinking, or at minimum, to begin pondering the notion that things might not be the way they seem.

From Kryon, Physics and Science (June 2007)

(Edited slightly to aid readability. For the untouched transcript go here)

… Things that we have spoken about before will today meld into things we have never spoken of, to give you the truth about some physics in areas perhaps you have not heard before.

We bring you these things in this way for a reason, the first of which is that we wish to have this archived. Someday there will be those who would pull out this transcription and they will compare it to what science has discovered. Then they will see there is a confluence of truth. Then they will have to say that this esoteric message was real...  not a Human Being on stage entertaining a crowd and guessing about science. These are high ideas and will translate to the pages of your textbooks eventually. You see, you watch, you wait.

I am Kryon of Magnetic Service. If we’re going to do this correctly, we have to give a review and tie it up correctly. I told you that I would explain astrology, and in order to do so, I am going to take you through a little bit of science about your biology that you need to know, for it relates not only to astrology but to almost everything else that is going on with you and the planet.

The Magnetic Nature of DNA

Your DNA is complex; it is elegant and every single piece of it is there for a reason. There is no junk, no waste, and it is beautifully designed. What seems to be random and chaotic is not, for the system lies very succinctly within the interdimensional framework of a system that works with those beautiful strands.

In three dimensions you see the double helix. For many years you have seen it as a strand - a strand by itself, responsible for the genealogy of all the things that make you what you are. The ends of the strands of DNA are the telomeres. These long strands would seem to do nothing but shorten as you age - a copy of a copy of a copy - responsible, perhaps, for what you think is your ultimate demise.

Recently in your science, a discovery was made that seemed to be passed over, which in its essence is probably one of the most profound discoveries that ties you and the magnetic grid together. The discovery was that the telomeres are actually connected together. DNA is not a strand but a loop.

It took a while to see the truth of this, for it was a very detailed connection. So suddenly, DNA is not a strand, but a loop and now the fun begins. For within this loop you now have an attribute of potential electric current.

You see, the Human Being is a bioelectric device and your brain and the synapse and your muscular reactions all work with the neurons that fire the impulses - trillions of them that make your body work. And so the electrics of the body suddenly are involved in the DNA, for there is a current that travels through the loop. It is miniscule, hardly detectable, even by the finest of your instruments.

So the first thing we will tell you is this: Scientists, look for the current! For you will discover it is there. Not only that, you will discover that the current flows through your chemistry in a way that it shouldn’t do! DNA shouldn’t conduct electricity, but it does...  almost like a super-conductor.

So now you have current flowing through a loop. In basic electricity, you learn that current flowing through a loop creates a magnetic field. DNA, therefore, has a magnetic field all of its own...  each double helix. Oh, it’s small, but when you take trillions of those parts of a Human body, all of which have a magnetic field, the whole Human Being becomes magnetic. So there you sit and there you stand with scientific evidence that the Human Being’s DNA actually has a magnetic field.

This should tell you something else because of the physics of magnetics. If one magnetic field overlaps another, something will happen that is known as inductance. Inductance is that magic attribute where two magnetic fields overlap and intertwine and allow communications and transfer of energy to happen. In your electricity, this is used daily in almost every electric apparatus you have.

What you should now know is that inductance is the engine of DNA change, receiving both appropriate and inappropriate magnetic instructions from the environment. This is why we have warned you repeatedly about not exposing yourself to long-term magnetic fields. However, another realization should come upon you - suddenly you have the potential of receiving information through the magnetic grid of the planet, since you are now aware that you have your own magnetic generator, your own DNA. This is the reason I am Kryon of "Magnetic Service."

Now, let me review the information we gave you in 1989 where we said that the earth has a magnetic field that postures your consciousness. We told you that if you were to go outside of this magnetic field, that in time you would be in dis-ease [disease]. You cannot live without it. We now challenge you yet again to prove this, for you will need it in space travel. This fact has never changed.

In the past, we asked scientists to look at some very interesting attributes waiting to be discovered. Look at what happens when you take a Human Being even slightly outside the magnetic field. They go into dis-ease! There have been laboratories that you have placed at your earth poles that are research related. Scientists have lived in them for numbers of months. At the poles of the earth, you have a neutrality of confluence...  no merging of magnetics. There’s a singularity at the North Pole and a singularity at the South Pole that is not balanced for the Human cellular structure.

So, scientists, I want you to take a look at the health of those who have been in those research laboratories, because you’re going to find something in the incidences of their disease and their cancer. It will show to be far greater than it should be in the normal curve of Human health. For they sat outside of the balance too long and they’ve paid the price.

Those who are in orbit for great numbers of days, even months, were slightly outside of the magnetic field that you are in now, and you will see the same thing there. Look at their bone marrow. Look at their immune systems and see that it begins to fail when they get outside of the magnetic field. The magnetic field of your planet works with your DNA in ways that you do not know. It talks to your DNA.

In 1989, I told you that the magnetic grid would move more in 10 years than it had in the last 100...  and it did. It’s on its way, some say, to be involved in another flip of polarity, as it has done in the past. But not yet. It moved, however, and moved as I told you it would. [This is a known scientific fact and is verifiable.]

Now, I’ll tell you why it moved - because the consciousness of this planet moved it, and the beginning of this move was at the Harmonic Convergence [1987]. It’s no coincidence that it started then. It moved in order to posture your enlightenment. It moved so that there would be an awakening of the planet. That’s why it moved and there is, and has been, an intuition shift of so many all over the planet. The grid talks to the DNA and the consciousness of humanity. Now, thousands are suddenly asking, "Is there more than I’ve been told?" Perhaps you are one of these? Perhaps that’s why your eyes are on this page?

There are other places on the planet that are difficult to live, and that’s at the null point. At the equator and around the equator, there meets the positive and the negative, and they slowly reverse, one becoming the other. Around these areas, the magnetic grid is not consistent, and it is not linear. There are parts where it’s greater and parts where it’s lesser. It also doesn’t follow exactly at the equatorial line. It goes above and below and that has been mapped for you and your scientists know where those null points are.

Take a look at these null points and you will find the greatest trouble spots on this planet, the greatest disease on this planet, the greatest war and horror and genocide on this planet. The greatest imbalance is in the null. That’s because of the magnetic grid and because DNA receives information of balance.

Eighteen years ago, we were asked this question: "Where can we go for the most enlightenment, Kryon?" This was published in our first transcriptions of live channelling. And the answer was, "Go to where it’s cooler." That’s not at the equator. Now, do you understand why we said what we said? Moving away from the equator in either direction will bring you to a place that is more balanced, and...  cooler! That’s simple truth.

So we sit here saying, Go ahead, scientists, take a look, because you’re going to find some synchronicities that you did not expect. If you’re going to travel to the stars, if you’re going to travel to the planets, you better take your magnetic field with you in a simulated mode. Match it to what the earth gives you for those days, those years, sitting in that cocoon. If you don’t, you won’t make it.

This is yet to be recognized by those who plan to go to the planets and to the stars [NASA]. So here is the invitation to the life science biologists. Ask the question, "Does the Human cellular structure need the magnetic field of Earth for sustained life and balance over time?" Use information from the years passed at the poles, and the time you have already spent in orbit. The answer will be “yes”.

Astrology

Now, let’s talk about astrology. This would seem to be an esoteric subject, but it is not. It is one of the most misunderstood of all of the attributes of science...  being classified as occult and from those who are not thinking clearly. Let me remind you that this was also the consideration of those who believed in germs before it was proven to be true. Imagine...  an invisible microorganism that causes disease (gasp...  must be occult, or a plan by ETs to invade the earth!) [Kryon humor]. When your tools and wisdom came to understand it all, it became science, and helped save lives. Now we tell you that astrology is the same. It is science that is right now thought to be mysticism.

If you have gotten this far in my magnetic discussion, you will realize that Human Beings are continually influenced by the magnetic grid of the planet, and that it was designed that way for communication and balance. I would like to reveal to you what is landing on [being put upon] the magnetic grid that might be part of that communication we speak of. Oh, there’s a great deal of information that is delivered this way, but I’ll just give you the astrological one.

At the center of your solar system is your sun. Your sun is being patterned magnetically with gravity every second of the day. You cannot separate gravity and magnetics, for they are two twins of the same attribute in science, yet to be understood as they relate to one another. Light is involved as well, for it is interdimensional also.

When something in your reality can be shown to be in two places at the same time, it has to be quantum [interdimensional attributes] and light falls into that category with magnetics and gravity. Magnetics, gravity and light are the mysteries of your reality. None of these three are truly understood. They are, instead, simply used. You know what they do, but you have no idea what they are. Time is the other one, but it is a result of the first three, and not an energy unto itself.

And so, your sun is sitting there with the planets pushing and pulling upon it as they move around it. Imagine the force of the tug upon the sun of all of your planets at the various alignments that they go through. Imagine for a moment that you could see gravity and the incredible forces of gravity as strings out to the planets pulling upon the center of the sun. This would create a constantly changing pattern of strings, would it not? For it is patterned daily all of the time, every moment.

This patterning is an interdimensional patterning of the sun. Therefore, you might say that the quantum pattern of the sun is different every moment, depending on where the planets are. You’d be right. Think of what the attributes of this pushing and pulling do to the sun when the planets line up in a row! Think of what happens when there’s what you call the seeming retrograde [appearance of backward movement in orbits as observed from another orbiting platform]. So there we are with a constantly changing pattern in the sun that is interdimensional, that is magnetic, that even affects time.

What do you know about the sun besides that fact that it is sending light and heat? The sun blasts something called the solar wind at the earth all the time. It’s a continuous flow of charged particles [magnetics!]. This is the information of the patterning of the sun being delivered to the magnetic grid of this earth.

If you doubt that, then go look at the aurora borealis. For that is the name given to the light show of the solar wind as it hits the magnetic grid of the planet, creating inductance of its own, delivering the information of the patterning of the sun to you.
When it arrives on the grid of the planet, that patterning is then transmitted through additional inductance to your DNA at birth.

Birth is when you receive it, since that is when you arrive for your first breath of air, your first interaction with the environment as an independent life. Aquarius, Pisces, Cancer … you get a pattern of the sun. And the pattern is a reflection of the alignment of the planets at the moment of your birth.

This pattern is retained in your DNA as a life-force that we have spoken of [previously] when we talked about the seeming chaos of the energy in an interdimensional arena. It affects you, and from then on, you are susceptible to the energy of those patterns as they align in your solar system. You call this astrology. It is one of the oldest sciences on the planet and it’s intuitive [part of your consciousness of ‘knowing’].

There are those who say, "I don’t believe it." We have just given you information that you are susceptible to the patterning of interdimensional orbital mechanics and there are those who say, "I still don’t believe it."

All right, I will ask you this, how do you explain the full moon syndrome? The moon is the largest orbiting body to the earth, and it patterns the sun, but has a major influence patterning your grid with its gravitational pull. [Gravity is related to magnetics.] Why is it that police forces all over the globe decide to put on extra help on a full moon? There are some that say, "Well, that’s easy. You see, it’s lighter then and more crime takes place."

No. That would relate to light, not the orbit of the moon, for it even takes place on a cloudy full moon night. Ask the hospitals, for they are involved as well, taking care of all the many accidents and challenges between Humans on these days. They know the full moon is a difficult time.

Now, go explain that...  and the only way is through astrology. Astrology is a major influence on Human behavior, and it is science and involves DNA and human thought. Can you imagine what this might do to help humanity when it is finally acknowledged? You are susceptible to the movement of the planets. You’re alive with Gaia. You are part of the system. How can you ever deny such a thing? That’s science.

Now you will understand, astrologers, why we told you 18 years ago that there would be a difference in the charts that you must rectify before and after, to find out what has taken place within the energy shift and the magnetic grid shift between then and now. We talked about a three-degree influence in your charts between now and the year 2012. Those three degrees do not all occur in one house. Those three degrees are a culmination of the house shapes opening and closing into a new configuration of sizes.

Go ahead [astrologers], do the rectifications and see what we mean. Do the overlays before and after and you will discover through those clients that you have had charts done on then and now, what is taking place and how these changes are shifting and changing. The world-class astrologers know that it is changing. Even astrology is dynamic, for it’s related to the magnetics, indeed!

The New Laws of Physics

Now we speak of physics. Let me give you some history about a conundrum. Let me tell you what science has done with the conundrum. Then let me tell you some things that we have never said before.

It’s a beautiful law, it is, and the scientist Newton designed [discovered] it. It is a law that is responsible for all of the orbital mechanics in your solar system. It explains them all, it does, and it’s the second law of Newton. It is a description.

It is a description in its fundamental formulation of force, matter and acceleration. And these fundamentals explain the movements of the planets - the movement and inertia of motion everywhere. It does it so well that this formula is responsible for the calculations you use to send satellites up, and your space probes throughout the solar system. All of the math, so centered around Newton’s second law, works.

If you’ve noticed in your own solar system and if you’re into astronomy, you’ll see what Newton saw - that the planets [items with constant mass] that are closer to the gravitational influence of the sun travel at a different speed than the ones that are further away. This became the formula of the second law of Newton, and holds true today and has held true...  until recently when your science discovered some challenges.

The first thing that raised interest was when the particles became too small, and then the law broke down. It didn’t follow the rules anymore. When you got into atomic structure, the formula was different. This was actually the reason for the birth of quantum physics - the explanation of the small and the very small and the theories that would go with it, including interdimensional ones. And it was OK with science.

New theories said that when matter gets super-small, there has to be a difference in the interaction between mass objects. Some say it was due to the fact that smaller particles didn’t have the constant mass that the planets and moon did...  not too hard to deal with in the mind of the scientist. Also, Human Beings have the ability to experiment with the super-small with atomic accelerators - protons and anti-protons colliding at almost the speed of light to see what happens. So Humans could verify the new laws within the super-small world.

Then something happened.

With the advent of the new "eyes" of the earth through computer-controlled mirrors in telescopic arrays, you began to study distant galaxies and see them clearly. Much to the surprise of astronomers, they could see the stars rotating around the center of the galaxy, much like your solar system rotates around the sun, but with a big difference. It didn’t follow Newton’s law!
To the astronomers’ surprise, they discovered that the stars rotating around the center of a galaxy were in what is called a "flat rotation mode." Let me explain this to you.

If you were to take a disc and put some pebbles on the disc close and far from the fulcrum [center], then gently rotate the disc, you would notice that all of the particles you put on the disc rotate in tandem together, keeping their influence with each other in the same perspective. In other words, one does not go faster or slower due to the distance from the center. That is called flat rotation and that is what galaxies do.

However, suddenly, Newton’s second law doesn’t work! Stars would have large constant mass, yet they were not following the rules of orbital mechanics. Newton’s law seemed to work for solar systems, but not for galaxies. This makes no sense, and is at the heart of controversy, and eventual discovery of something astronomy is starting to see.

In the mathematics of energy-measuring of the Universe, science says that something is creating an energy you cannot see that is pushing on the matter in a way that is affecting Newton’s law. They say they don’t know what it is and cannot see it. It is unseen energy creating a new kind of orbital system, which they are now realizing is in all galaxies. So they call it dark matter: mystery matter that has influence on everything.

Dark matter isn’t really dark. It is simply the scientific expression for missing energy. That’s all it is. Something is pushing and pulling in ways that do not follow the orbital mechanics of the classic Newton’s law. How can that be?

Now the conundrum is there. The very small doesn’t work well. The very big doesn’t work well. Your solar system seems to be fine. Somebody’s working on this issue right now, and I have to mention it. So put on your esoteric hat for just a moment. Newton had an assistant who was very involved in his work. This assistant is alive today and he’s an astronomer, of course. He has reincarnated with the passion in his cellular structure to continue the work, and he is! And he’s very close to figuring this out.

I’m going to tell you why this conundrum exists. This has never been revealed in this fashion. You’re close to discovery, and it’s in the ethers. So I am not giving you anything that Human free choice wouldn’t discover on its own. The solution is floating in the system, ready to be found.

Adding to the Known Forces in the Universe

When it’s seen, the new theory is going to run up against lots of scientific resistance, and I’ll tell you why - because you’re going to have to rewrite and add onto the four forces of the Universe. (Gasp! Change the known forces?) [Kryon humor]

As known by physics, I will give you the names of the four forces of the Universe, and what they’re called. I will not explain them, for this is not the venue for that today. Listen to what the scientists have said are the only four forces that control everything:

The first is (1) gravity, and is known as the weak force. The second is (2) electromagnetics, and is known as the strong force. They’re a pair. And the next two are another pair; number three is known as (3) the weak nuclear force, the fourth is known as (4) the strong nuclear force.

Those four supposedly are responsible for everything that happens, but now suddenly there is a conundrum. There’s missing energy! Does that not tell you perhaps those four forces might be six? And they are as follows:

[First] I want you to take a look at nature. On your planet, take a look at nature. Almost everything comes up in the factors of 12. Mathematician, you know what the factors of 12 are. [There are six.] The most common factors of 12 that you see in nature are three, four and six. When you crystallize water on its own, it comes up with a six-arm pattern [a snowflake]. The crystallization formations are base-12 with the factors of 12 clearly showing, mostly with six.

We have told you for many, many years that the elegant science of physics should be base-12. It is an interdimensional math that includes a zero that doesn’t mean nothing or infinity. A zero in universal base-12 math means the potentials of all the answers probable.

It’s not an empirical math as in 3D, yet this math will bring you some realizations when you begin to use it. For instance, does it make sense to you that one of the most profound equations that you have, being that of the circle - called pi [π] - is an irrational number? [An irrational number in math is one having an infinite and nonrecurring expansion when expressed as a decimal.] It goes forever! Does that make sense for one of the most profound formulas of the Universe?

We happen to know that on one of your spacecrafts to communicate with anybody who might find it, you put that number pi right on the plaque on the spacecraft. It’s like a communication in math, in case any intelligent life-force should find it, they would then say, "Oh, Humans have pi! Therefore, they must be intelligent."

Let me tell you what an intelligent society will know when they see that. They will look at it and say, "These creatures are flying in space, and they don’t even have base-12! Look what they think pi is! They must still be in base-10." It’s like finding an advanced society with black and white TV. π as expressed in base-12 is not an irrational number.

There are six forces of nature. Although four is a factor of 12, six and 12 are the ones that appear the most, and are most nature-like. Look at the chemistry of DNA and behold the factors of 12 in the chemistry. It’s everywhere.

Before I tell you what the other two forces are, let me tell you about naming things. I will give them attributes, not names, because they will be named according to what science wishes to name them later, and they will then explain dark matter.
There’s a difference between the galaxy and the solar system - a big difference. Newton, listen up. At the middle of a solar system is ordinary mass. No matter how big or how small the sun is in any solar system, it represents ordinary, consistent mass.

When you get into the giant systems such as galaxies, that’s where the magic is, and that’s where the discoveries are. Years ago, we told you what was in the middle of each galaxy that would cause the rotation, even before it was notated in science. We said there is something in the middle that is interdimensional - a black hole.

Some years ago, we then gave you the rest of the story; we said there are twins in the middle of each galaxy. There are two quantum attributes. One that you call a black hole, and one you cannot see that is its twin. They are a push/pull system of interdimensional energy. They represent the missing piece of the named forces of the Universe and the energy that surges back and forth.

Let me tell you what happens when you have this kind of interdimensional energy in the center of anything. Newton’s law no longer applies, since the center is not ordinary mass. This interdimensional energy has a cohesion to it. It creates a flat, rotating galaxy because of this cohesion.

There’s a whole set of laws that must be developed for a strong and a weak interdimensional force. These are the last two, and now you have the six. You have (1) gravity, you have (2) electromagnetics, you have (3) strong and (4) weak nuclear, and now you have number five and number six, which are (5) strong interdimensional force and (6) weak interdimensional force.

New Information about the center of the galaxies

Every galaxy has a push/pull system at its center. This is a twin energy system, but you only are aware of one. You’re convinced it’s invisible, and it’s a black hole. No light escapes, but you think it’s singular - one thing. How 3D of you! [Laughter]

It is not one thing. Instead, it’s a beautiful, double eye of a needle. Now listen. When you start mapping the Universe and you see how the galaxies are really laid out, you already know they’re not random. Isn’t that interesting? Wasn’t what you called The Big Bang supposed to be something that randomly distributed everything from almost nothing? So why is there a pattern?

This is the beautiful part, dear Human Being. There is a pattern in the seeming chaos of the interdimensional event that the Big Bang was. As we have told you before, your Big Bang was really a big, interdimensional collision with another interdimensional force. Interdimensionality seems to be chaos with a hidden pattern.

Picture with me for a moment a giant needle and thread, two of them. One goes into the black hole and one comes out of it. These threads are interdimensional strings of force that connect themselves to the other galaxies, weaving in and out of their centers, which are all double-eyed black holes. A push and a pull - an interdimensional force of which you are not aware of yet, threading the galaxies one to another and to another.

Now, picture in your mind that quilt work having a symmetry and a purpose. If you could look down the middle of it, into the middle of the Universe from a certain angle, you would even have the symmetry of a mandala. The galaxies are shaped beautifully together in an elegant dance. The symmetry makes sense, and it’s base-12. We challenge you to find this.

And those seeming threads that go in and out of those galaxies’ centers with this new force I have just described are a lattice. It’s a lattice with symmetry and purpose...  the Cosmic Lattice [as originally defined by Kryon many years ago]. It has beauty. And it’s the missing energy of the Universe, as seen by those who are looking for it.

The dark matter that everyone looks for is not in the empty spaces between things. It’s in the strings of the interdimensional force between galaxies, purposely put there. Oh, it’s a wonderful system. You want the dark matter to make 3D sense, but it can’t. It deals with the two interdimensional forces of the Universe that are quantum, and therefore out of time and out of the preview of your 3D formulas.

The next big discovery...  quantum sight

OK, there is one more. I want to give you this hint. Again, this information is in the ethers. That is to say that it is available for discovery and imminent. Humans must discover these things on their own, but we give hints. When the discoveries happen, you’ll know you heard it here first. [Kryon smiles]

For years, astronomers have been putting special lenses on telescopes in order to give them different kinds of views of the Universe beyond normal light. The collection of ordinary light is passé for real astronomy. They now wish to collect radiation.

They wish to have the spectrometry so that they can have an analysis of what things are made of. They like to measure the coming and the going of the speed of objects so they will have red shift or blue shift to know if objects are advancing or retreating from the observer.

For years, they have been putting special lenses on their telescopes so they can analyze what common light cannot show them. Most of you are not even aware that many of the telescopes of the planet don’t even let you look through them anymore! It’s all about computer-controlled collection of what is hidden in the light, or what is available through other measuring methods. They know how hot things are, what they are made of, where they are going and their trajectory anomalies.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if someone on Earth came up with an interdimensional astronomical lens? And if they did, what would they see? They would see exactly what I’ve described. First, they would be able to see the twin black holes that appear to be one. An interdimensional lens is looking at gravity and time, and the warping of them into patterns.

If you were looking at the Universe with this lens, you’d see how the twins relate to each other, the pulse of them, and you’d see the strands connecting the galaxies very clearly. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? It would explain the missing energy, wouldn’t it? It would give the scientists the reason to increase the four forces to six! And...  it’s doable.

Now I’m going to tell you what it looks like...  almost. [Kryon smiles] Number one hint: You cannot put it on the lens. It must go as close as it can to the receiving device. In the case of an optical telescope, that is the mirror. In the case of a digital telescope, that is its digital eyeball. That is to say that this lens cannot go anywhere but the focal plane. That will be meaningful to those who build telescopes. It must go there where the focus is collected. Hint two: This lens is not physical. This lens is plasma. The plasma is held together by incredibly strong magnetics. Oh, and it’s very cold. And those are the hints.

And when you develop it and when you turn it on and work out the adjustments to the magnetics that allow the plasma coherence, you will have the next step in astronomy - a revolution and a revelation. Physics will change; your reality will change; and I will tell you why. This is the last point I make in science before I close. I’ll tell you why.

When you look at interdimensional things, one of the unexpected things you’re going to see is life! Life sticks out, because of life-force. You can look into a galaxy and the stars that glow [using the filter] will have life around them! How about that one? And everybody can get scared. [Laughter] It’s inevitable, you know? That is our science channel.

Kryon ended the session with these words:

There are those who have received messages in these times, in these two days [the talk was over two days]. The messages often were this: Honor yourself. Go slow. There’s a purpose for your life, and let the cosmic intelligence flow in and out of you. Be peaceful. Stop worrying. Increase your life-force and your health. There is a system of connections between every Human Being in this room, even those reading, just like the galaxies of the Universe. Call upon it. And let it work for you. You’re not alone.

You’re not alone.

You’re not alone.


And so it is.

Dei Un Gnost - A New Term

You Are Not Your Body

You know this don’t you? That you are not your body? And you also know that you are not your mind? You are so much more!

You might think that you are your spirit, but not necessarily in the way that is commonly thought. When you ‘die’, or that experience which we have come to call death, you know that something leaves the body which makes the body less than it was. The cells in your body continue to ‘live’ for a short while even after ‘you’ are gone. What is the ‘you’ that goes? Some refer to this thing that leaves as the soul. Others call it ‘life force energy’. I prefer ‘life force energy’ because for me that more accurately describes what it is.

Life force energy is not you, its something that you have. Like your body. Like your mind. My body. My mind. My life force energy. These three things are not who we are, they are tools. 

Humans live in an environment (physical reality) that is not natural to the soul. In order to experience a foreign environment, you have tools. There are tools that help us survive and experience foreign environments. Take for example, being under water. There are tools (wet suits, breathing apparatus, flippers) that allow us to survive in this different environment called under water. There are tools that help us survive and experience being in outer space. Tools that help us survive and experience being in toxic environments. 

There are also tools that help us, as Spirit, to survive and live in the environment called physical reality. The tools that help a spirit experience life on planet earth are the body, the mind, and the life force energy. Again, life force energy is not what you are, it is something you have, something you use.

There’s another tool that you use to experience life on planet earth. This tool is something most people aren’t aware of because it's fallen out of use. Since people aren’t aware of it, they don’t use it. But this tool exists, you can access it, and you can use it.

The real power is in knowing that this fourth tool exists, knowing that it is a tool that you came into physical reality with, knowing that it is yours, and knowing that you can access it and use it to your advantage any time you wish. There’s nothing you need to do to get it, you already have it. It’s a creative knowingness that has nothing to with the brain or with thinking. Creative knowingness. It works in conjunction with the brain and the mind, but it is neither of those things. It is something different than that, and it is yours.

We refer to this creative knowingness as ‘gnost’ (thanks to the Crimson Circle, where I first learned of it). The full term is Dei Un Gnost, shortened to simply 'gnost'.

What is this Dei Un Gnost—this creative knowingness—and how do I use it?

That’s a wonderful question. How do you access your mind and use it? How do you access your body and use it? How do you access your life force energy and use it? These aren’t things that can be described that way. Each of these tools is incredibly complex, so complex that they cannot really be explained in human language. 

My intent here isn’t to try to explain it, but merely let you know that it exists, so that you can begin experimenting with it, using it to enhance your native creative ability.

Here is a portion of what Tobias of the Crimson Council had to say about gnost:

You are very inter-dimensional on your own right. You have many, many levels within you. You are only operating in a small spectrum of those levels right now as a human being. Gnost opens the doorway to integrate many of these inter-dimensional levels within you. You’re going to find this energy of gnost to be invaluable. It’s an incredible tool to help you manifest ideas and dreams in this reality.

Again, it is very difficult to talk about gnost because it is not an energy that originates from the mind. It cannot be manipulated by the mind. It absolutely will resist that. It cannot be limited by the mind. So the gnost energy is in its own realm.

Now, the interesting thing is you’re going to find that your mind is more than happy to work with gnost. Your mind is going to get into stride with it as you begin to use it. The mind will understand it has a new friend, that it has a companion that’s going to take much of the burden off of the mind. The mind initially is going to try to control it because that’s how the mind has been programmed, until now. But as you start to use gnost, the mind will let go, the mind will stop trying to control, and just allow this solution of gnost to come in.

Then the mind will do what it does best. It will help to keep things organized, it will keep its database and databanks of information, and it will help to materialize some of the final phases... put into action some of the things that you need to do as a creator who’s also living on Earth right now.

The mind, for instance, knows how to drive a car. Gnost doesn’t necessarily know how to do that. The mind knows how to operate your computer devices. Gnost will make it a more fulfilling and creative experience, but it is the mind that controls the hands and the fingers and some of the stored information such as the language that you use. The mind is wonderful at doing these things.

Gnost is going to allow you to manifest and create without all of the struggle. And again, it takes you using it, more than anything. It takes you allowing it to come into your life, and we know it is a bit of a paradox because you say,“But how do I use it? Define gnost. Help me to create a picture.” And we can’t. There is none. You can only bring it in and use it in your life.

Now, as more and more [of you] work with the energy of gnost, you will be able to define it better and more accurately. You’ll have more of a database or an experience-base from which to talk about it or discuss it. But right now gnost is a simple and beautiful energy. Again, it doesn’t come from us. It doesn’t come from some far off god being. It doesn’t come from Earth. It comes from you.

… I’m going to ask you—and I will continue to ask you—to use it over and over again. Sometimes you may become frustrated because you don’t know how to use it, it may seem to elude you at times. It takes a while to reintegrate this into your material life right now. Continue to work with it. Continue to breathe with it, and always remember it’s not coming from outside of you. It’s already within.

It’s one of the four components that was built into the design of the human being long before you ever came to Earth. You have (1) the physical body, (2) the mind, (3) the spirit is your life force energy, and (4) gnost, the creative knowingness. Don’t mistake gnost with divinity, that is an entirely different discussion. But we’re talking about the four tools that the human, the divine being, brought with them to Earth.

Gnost is a brilliant energy. Gnost is creative knowingness. Gnost is the energy, the portion of you, the aspect of you that can take an idea or a concept, can take something that is very creative—an inspiration—and then channel those energies down through your inter-dimensional realms and help them to manifest or become solid, stable and balanced here in this realm [reality].

Dei un gnost is also the core of passion in the human existence. … It’s not spirit and it’s not the mind. The best way to explain dei un gnost is that it is knowingness, but not knowingness from the mind. It is creativity, but not creativity from the mind. You see, right now, even for those of you who are artists and musicians, you use creativity but it is saccharin. It is artificial. It is being created from the mind—there is literally a lobe in the mind where creative energies can flow and be manifested—but it is not dei un gnost. It is not the true—what you would call—creative ability.

So this missing piece, gnost... gnost. This missing piece is the piece, the component that is creative and that is knowingness. It's not intuition either. It is the ability to bridge between the nonphysical realms and into the crystalline realms and bring that energy and that consciousness down into the earthly realms. It is the ability to very rapidly manifest dreams using the balance of body, mind, gnost and spirit [life force energy]. But that piece has been missing for a long, long time, and it’s time for it to come back, but in a different way. We’re not going to go back and activate the old gnost. We’re not going to go try to dig it from the depths of wherever it’s been hiding. It’s been hiding for a reason and wants to come back in a different way now.

Trying to understand what gnost is is a bit like trying to understand infinity. The mind simply isn't the right tool to allow us to understand these concepts. As Tobias has said in other sessions, we humans have been out in the other realms experimenting, creating, solving puzzles for humanity. But the solutions can't make their way into the physical reality of Earth because we don't know how to ground them. We don't know how to translate what we're working on in other realities into the language of physical reality. It's like there's a gap between what we know at other levels and what we can bring into our earthly experience. Gnost is the tool that bridges that gap.

For now, think of gnost as an interdimensional tool that you just discovered, that you're curious about, that you'd like to learn how to use. You can see that this tool is there, but you don't know what to do with it or how to use it. There's no instruction manual. You see this thing, it intrigues you, and you're curious as hell how to go about using it! Let that curiosity drive you. When you have something you'd like to understand or manifest, particularly if it is a completely new idea or puzzle that seems unsolvable—potentially impossible based upon what you know with your mind—ask yourself "how would gnost solve this?" then let it go.

Play around with the concept that gnost exists, intend to get insight into its use, then let it go and see what happens.

You Always Get What You Ask For Unless ...

After recently viewing the movie "Tuning In" for the second time, I was reminded of several of the channelers that I hadn't spent much time getting to know. I'm very familiar with, and always intrigued by the messages from, Geoff Hoppe (channel for Tobias and the Crimson Council) and Lee Carroll (channel for Kryon).

Though every bit as insightful and helpful as those two, the other channelers from the movie I wasn't so familiar with. Among them was Wendy Kennedy, channel for the 9th Dimensional Pleiadian Collective, who I highlighted in my last post. The post below highlights the delightful John Cali, channel for Chief Joseph. Chief Joseph, according to John, is both an individual and a collective.

I was interested in what John and Chief Joseph had to say about a topic that is close to the hearts of all humans—how we manifest. We continually hear, all over the planet these days, that we are the ultimate manifestors, that we constantly create our reality through our thoughts and beliefs.

At the heart level we know this to be true, and if we're interested in increasing our ability to consciously manifest our desires, we make an effort to compare what we're feeling/thinking/believing with what we see manifesting around us. That helps us see how we manifest things that we want, as well as how we manifest things that we do not want.

What Chief Joseph has to say fits in beautifully with everything I think that I know on this topic, but is offered in a fresh new way. It turned out to be a great reminder to me that manifesting isn't hard, we just have to shift our own beliefs about what is possible and what is not possible, and particularly what we believe is possible for us and what we believe is not. Believe in fact so soundly that we won't even consider certain possibilities for ourselves at all!

John Cali

Late last Saturday afternoon (January 2009) I was driving out to my brother’s ranch to have dinner and spend the evening with him, his wife, and some close friends.

It was a beautiful early winter day with a clear blue sky, a few puffy white clouds, and freshly fallen snow sparkling in the rugged mountains all around.

It’s over an hour-long, 40-mile drive on a narrow winding mountain road from Cody, Wyoming (USA) where I live. To me it’s one of the most beautiful roads on the planet. The scenery is simply spectacular. Every time I’ve gone up there over the past 23 years or so, I feel like I’m going home again.

Since the ranch is west of town I was driving into the bright sun, by now hovering low over the late-afternoon horizon.

I thought I wasn’t going to be able to enjoy the gorgeous mountain and valley views so much with the sunlight in my face all the way out to the ranch. "Oh well," I said to myself, "I’m going to enjoy the ride anyway." I just let it go.

A mile or two out of town a dark cloud suddenly appeared and covered the sun. The rest of the sky was mostly crystal clear and bright blue.

That cloud stayed over the sun for my entire hour-plus trip, even though it was a wildly windy day. So I got to enjoy the spectacular alpine views without being half-blinded by bright sunlight.

I figured there must be a message in this. So I asked Chief Joseph.


Chief Joseph

The topic of manifesting comes up so often in our work with John. So here we are discussing it again today.

Even though manifesting what you ask for is a simple process, many humans still struggle with it. It does not have to be a struggle. Yet it is, for various reasons.

Manifesting anything you want, big or small, should be easy. It can be easy if you allow it to be. It’s a simple three-step process.

First, you ask. Any time you have a desire, you’ve automatically asked.

Second, the Universe answers your desire.

Third, you, the asker, allow it to come to you.

That third step is the big bad bugaboo for many of you. You are very inventive when it comes to blocking your manifestations.

You don’t feel worthy. You believe nothing should be easy. You don’t believe you can have what you want simply by asking (instead of struggling and working hard). Someone talks you out of what you want. The list is endless.

But all these blocks have one thing in common. They are at a lower vibration. Your desire, your asking is at a high vibration. You must remain at that high vibration to receive the manifestation. If you do not, you slow it down, or stop it altogether.

If you do what John did (although he wasn’t doing it consciously), that is, just get out of the way, you’ll get what you want quickly. In his case, almost instantaneously.

Manifesting, friends, is that easy, that simple.

You always get what you ask for unless you get in the way.

Getting Grounded

Excerpted from an interview with Wendy Kennedy channeling the 9th Dimensional Pleiadian Collective:

When you have people who are very sensitive, who have very strong psychic abilities they are picking up a lot of these emotions, a lot of pain on the planet, but there is also the potential for them to pick up a lot of the joy. But where the focus tends to lie is in all the discomfort, because it is not pleasant to feel. And what a lot of sensitive people will do is not ground into their bodies so they don’t have to feel and they don’t have to process.

The other thing that you find very sensitive people do, they often have addictions. They will try to numb themselves with alcohol or drugs or food—and that’s a whole ‘nother topic—but not being grounded in your body is one of the biggest concerns. Because when you’re not grounded in, you have a very difficult time manifesting. The idea of this game called Planet Earth was to bring Home—or the sense of Home, the notion of being connected to all things, to being connected to Source Energy, to experiencing unconditional love that you feel when you are not in your earthly body—to bring that sensation to Earth.

This isn’t about going through the death cycle and being able to raise your frequency and then go into another body. This is a game of descension and re-ascension. You are already Source Energy. So you had to descend into physical bodies. And now you’ve taken it as low as you can go and you’re going to reascend, you’re going to raise your frequency and bring that sense of connectedness to this vehicle that you are utilizing right now. And in order to bring Home here, you’ve got to be in your body.

So it’s very difficult when you don’t create boundaries for yourself. That keeps you from connecting to your body. What’s also important for people who are sensitive to know is, you are not responsible for processing everything that you feel. Because a lot of people who are sensitive take it on as their own and think that they’ve got to process that energy, that pain, that frustration, that fear, whatever they’ve taken on throughout the day. It is only your responsibility to process your own thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

You don’t have to heal it for the planet, it is not your responsibility to do that. You can from time to time check in and lend a little energy there, but you are not burdened to do that. Because the Earth herself is a reflection of you, as a whole. In other words you’re all holographic in nature, so you, the tiny part of you the individual, the body, the personality that is you, is a carrier to the entire picture of the world. All the information for the entire world shows up in your energetic field. You’re holographic. So as you change and alter yourself, you then in turn, alter the entire planet. That information is cascaded down to the planet so that you can create a different version of her.

So if you can get yourself in your body, it’s going to be much easier for you to create what you want. It’s going to be much easier for you to recognize when you’ve taken on energy that’s not your own. And what that feels like to you is that your emotional response is out of balance for how you would normally react to a situation. So if normally you might feel a bit uncomfortable or a bit annoyed with something, and the experience that you have is that you fly off the handle, then that’s an indicator for you to check in and see, have you taken on something else?

The other thing that can trigger a similar response is when you activate a past life issue. When what you’re experiencing triggers the frequency of a past life experience. So you can check in with yourself and ask “is this my own or is this belonging to someone else?” And your subconscious is going to give you a yes or a no. That’s an indicator for you. So that’s vital for your well being, your energy, so that you can really be mindful of how you’re feeling in your body so that you know when you have fears coming up so you can address them and clear them when they belong to you. And it really just makes life much easier in general.

So that’s our 2 cents on being grounded into the body. Now, how do you achieve that? There are a couple exercises, and I’ll give you two visualizations right here right now.

One is to see yourself in your mind’s eye and to see your Soul Energy—a BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN LIGHT—and to see that penetrating into the cells of your body. And that they are illuminating the cells and radiating out, just as if the sun is contained within the cell and beaming out from it, so is your Soul Essence. And you can visualize and start with just one cell and that will cascade down through each and every cell.

So that’s one way to get yourself grounded and into your body. What you find after you’re done with that visualization and it really doesn’t take too long, it can take really only about 5 minutes, is that you have a lot more energy. And it’s much easier for you to tap into your intuition, for you to get inspiration, for you to connect with your own guides.

The other quick little exercise that we like to give is to visualize, in your mind’s eye again, yourself, and you’re going to incorporate the elements of the earth (wind, water, fire) with the colors of the chakras of the energetic centers that lie within your body.

So you’re first going to start with the visualization of a RED TORNADO swirling around your body. And you’re going to hold that for three breaths in and three breaths out. And as you see that energy as you inhale, you feel the energy coming up and you feel the energy moving through your body, and as you exhale you feel your body relax and anything that is not of the highest frequency, allow it to be swept away with the tornado. See in your mind’s eye what comes out.

So you’re going to hold that for three breaths in and out and then you’re going to move on to the next element which is RAIN, so you’re going to see red rain. And you’re going to hold that for three breaths, and then you’re going to move on to FLAMES. So you’re going to see your whole body purified in flame. And you hold that for three breaths in and out. And then you’re going to move on to the next color.

So you’re going to go up to ORANGE, and go through all three elements so 9 breaths in and out. And then YELLOW, and then depending on the day, you can go with GREEN which is a personal healing color, or PINK which is a more universal color. And then on up to BLUE, INDIGO, and then finishing it off there with PURPLE and the last one is a SILVERY WHITE light. The silver is going to connect you to the planet. So you’re going to imagine a silvery tornado, silvery rain, and then a silvery white flame.

And that doesn’t have to take too long. It’s a great exercise to do first thing in the morning when you wake up because you’re outside of your body and you’re not really connected to it. So if you can do that exercise and if you’ve only got a couple minutes then just one breath through each cycle. And that’s really all it takes. Because most of you walk around and it takes you a half hour to a good hour to get into your body when you wake up; you’re in a bit of a haze. It’s a quick way to get you jump started for the day.

Here's another effective grounding exercise from Spiritual.com.au:

This is one I learned from Starhawk's Spiral Dance. It is a very often-done meditation and you may have seen versions of this one in many places and from many people. This is my version.

Get comfortable. For this one, I find that sitting works best. I like to sit in a chair or sit with my back against something.

Take a deep breath and hold it. It is this space between breathing that I believe the Buddhist refer to as the "awareness". I need to research that though. Release the breath slowly.

Take a deep breath and hold it. (counting 1-2-3-4-5 slowly) and release the breath slowly.
Take a deep breath and hold it. (counting 1-2-3-4-5 slowly) and release the breath slowly.
Take a deep breath and hold it. (counting 1-2-3-4-5 slowly) and release the breath slowly.
Take a deep breath and hold it. (counting 1-2-3-4-5 slowly) and release the breath slowly.

Now, see in your mind's eye a tree. Don't worry if the tree isn't crystal clear. Just remember a tree you once knew. Sit down with your back against that tree. Feel the trunk against your back and know that this is a safe spot for you.

Now, your spine is the conductor of your chakras. The base chakra is the root chakra. This is literally where your spine ends. I want you to extend that base chakra down. This is your taproot. Press it down into the earth until you can feel that pulling at your center. Relax and just feel how this affects your body for a moment.

Now, slowly begin drawing energy up from the earth. Let it fill the root chakra. (pause). Now it moves to the belly chakra. Feel the energy slowly spreading. (pause) Next it moves to your solar plexus chakra. (pause) And now your heart chakra. Note what the energy feels like to you. Is it cool? cold? warm? hot? prickly? itchy? (pause) Now the energy moves up to your throat chakra. (pause) And to the third eye chakra (pause) As it reaches your crown chakra, feel the energy spill up and out like a waterfall. (pause)

Let this waterfall flow down to the earth and soak back into the ground. This is the energy pool that is always available to you. Take a few moments to feel the cycle of the waterfall.

(pause for at least two minutes here)

Now, let the waterfall gradually ebb back into your crown chakra. It slides down to your third eye. Past your throat chakra and to the heart chakra. Now the solar plexus down to the belly chakra. As it moves back to the root chakra, begin to draw your tap root up into the root as well. Excess energies will be flushed through the root chakra leaving behind only what you need.

When you feel ready, open your eyes and come back to yourself.

When you don't have a lot of time ...

A quick way to get grounded when you don't have time to go through either of the above processes, is to take three deep breaths. It's amazing how when you're in upset you won't even want to breathe. That's a pretty good indication that you're stuck ... and the best possible time to consciously breathe.

Another quick way to ground is to eat something, but do so consciously. Eating grounds you in your body, but you need to be consciously aware that you are eating, not the unconscious way that most of us eat most of the time. Foods directly from the Earth work best, like fruits and vegetables.

You can also visualize your body as a tree; visualize sending your roots down into the earth, feeling your energy connect with the energy of earth and her energy with yours.

But no matter how you do it, work at staying grounded and you will find that life flows so much smoother and easier. It will help you stay in touch with and be aware of the Now, where all of your power is, and which is the only time that truly exists.

Energy Inventory

Each life lesson provides the spirit opportunities to experience life with different filters. The life lesson of Definition is about being able to define what energy is yours and what is not. People with this life lesson bring people, contracts, and experiences into their field that move—sometimes forcefully—their boundaries in order to highlight this lesson. These people feel they always have to put other people first.

Most people engaged in mastering this life lesson tend to be those with great emotional empathy. They tap into others' emotions, thought patterns, and energy so easily and unconsciously that often they don't even realize that it is not their own energy that they are feeling. Because of this, they invariably have some difficulty setting proper boundaries for themselves.

Having weak boundaries, these dear ones often attract a series of master manipulators into their life. When they leave or are removed from one overbearing relationship without mastering the attribute of Definition, they will unconsciously draw another into their field in order to facilitate completing this life lesson.

What to do? Here's a tool everyone can use, even if you aren't living with a life lesson of Definition.

From The group, excerpted from Steve Rother’s book “So I’m God … Now What?”

Many healers have taken on the life lesson of Definition. You pick up on other people’s emotions because you do not know where your energy field ends and where another begins. Some of you have brought master manipulators into your field and that does not always feel very pretty for you.

There are times when you get so wrapped up in the day-to-day routine of putting one foot in front of the other that you do not understand that you have choices. So let us offer you a tool for working in the higher vibrations of the New Planet Earth. We call it the Energy Inventory.

This is a tool for acclimating to the new energy. To use it, you must first understand that a “plus” is not good and a “minus” is not bad. Those who work with electricity can tell you that negative electrons have the same magic and power as electrons carrying a positive charge. Those old illusions, of good and bad, come from the field of duality in which you have been living.

To use this tool, every time you experience something, stop and take inventory. Was that experience a minus or a plus? Ask yourself “Did that experience take away from my energy or add to my energy?”

For example, imagine you get a phone call from your best friend, relating the latest happening in her life. As you hang up the phone, take a moment to take inventory. “Did that add to me or take away from me?” There is no need to write it down; just making an honest determination within is enough. For a time, reduce every experience in your life to a plus or a minus.

Take inventory without judgement. It isn’t “good” or “right” that an experience adds to your energy, nor is it “bad” or “wrong” when an experience takes from your energy. Just notice. The more you notice the more you become aware of the external forces that you have been allowing to drive you.

Know also that you will not always make your decisions based on the inventory. That would be giving your power away and would also make you very lonely. For instance, imagine that your teenage son approaches you and asks if you can drive him to the mall. You stop and take inventory before you speak.

Since you already have plans for the day, this request is clearly a minus. Even so, you may decide that being with his friends is good for him so you gladly change your plans to accommodate him. Here is a big difference. The decision to drive him is now yours and not his. He did not manipulate you. If you honestly take the inventory and make a choice based on what feels best to you, it is not possible to be manipulated.

Taking inventory puts the ball right back in your court and the power of choice back where it belongs. In every moment of every day, it allows you to very quickly assess where you are in the world and the Universe around you. That is clearly defining yourself, thus the life lesson of Definition. If you have a life lesson of Definition, defining your energy field is what you came here to master.

Being aware of the inventory allows you the freedom to choose. It interrupts any automatic conditioning that you’ve acquired and puts you back in the driver’s seat of choice.

Why Do We Lie? The Potential of Indigos and Crystals

Why do we lie?

It’s a fascinating question, and far easier to answer than we might think. The answer is really simple: We lie because we did something, generally something that made us happy in the moment, and that something doesn’t meet the approval of whomever we are lying to.

That would indicate that we lie for approval, or to stay whatever it is we fear would come from disapproval. It begs the question: if we didn’t need each other’s approval, would there be any need—any desire—to lie?

Think about it: Aren’t you the most honest when you aren’t looking for approval, and/or not fending off disapproval?

It seems as if lying comes in many forms, not limited to wanting acceptance. Sometimes it comes from a desire to protect, to not hurt someone.

I would posit that it’s all approval based. We don’t want to hurt someone (out of the mistaken belief that we can do anything to another without them choosing it) because they won’t like it, which means they won’t like us. When you get right down to the core of it, any time we aren’t speaking from the heart we’re doing so for some other’s—or many others’—approval.

Indigos

This is what allows Indigos to appear to be so arrogant. They don’t have that need for approval, at least not to the degree that most humans do, or have. That gives them enormous freedom to be who they are and do what they do, in ways that society isn’t accustomed to. Ergo, that society thinks is wrong.

Indigos are modeling a change that we have all agreed on—at other levels of being—that we want to see in the world, and that is a change from needing others’ approval to not needing it.

It’s a bit of a sticky wicket because Indigos live on earth too, and are subject to mass consciousness as we all are. They are taught, and accept to whatever degree they each do, that in a civilized society we have to obey the rules, do what’s expected of us, behave in ways that are approved of.

Indigos are the rule breakers. They were born with very strong inclinations toward not needing approval, so it must be really torturous to them when they start buying into society’s demands that they behave in a manner that is approved of. Imagine the internal struggles that they go through! Their Inner Being is calling them to live in their joy despite the approval or disapproval of others, while society is calling them to ‘behave’, which means: do that which society (parents, teachers, authorities, anyone) approves of. Indigos will not. They were born to not. That’s their role. They are us. We asked them to do that, to be that. We asked them to model that for us, so that we could begin to change.

“Don’t tell me what to do!” or even better “You can’t tell me what to do!” is Indigo energy.

How aberrant their behavior is—or becomes—will depend upon how strong their natural inclinations are and how much they’ve been molded by society to go against those inclinations.

They are here to teach, through their own behavior and ways of being, that which we, as humanity, have asked them to teach us. How hard do you want the lesson to be? Do you want to see what they are here teaching, or do you want to continue to try to mold them into who, and what, society thinks they should be?

Crystals

What, then, is crystal energy?

Crystal energy is more quiet and reserved. Crystals are no less equipped to be who they are than Indigos, but they do so in a different way. You might say that each energy represents a different end of the same scale.

Crystals are peacemakers. They dislike confrontation. Crystal energy won’t argue with you, but it won’t bend to you either. In that way, it is the same force as Indigo energy.

In other words, whether you are dealing with Indigo energy or Crystal energy, the result is the same. Both will do exactly as they please, but one will do it openly, almost tauntingly, whereas the other will do it quietly, within themselves.

To the degree that we, as existing society, succeed in bending children to our will, is the degree to which they will be internally tormented. Their Inner Being will continue to call them to be who they really are, to be who they know they can become. If we ask them to go against that calling, and they agree, they will suffer. Just as we suffer when we do the same thing.

What’s different is the times we were each born into. Most of us were born in times where following what was socially acceptable—conforming—was emotionally, physically, and spiritually easier to do. The energy of the world was different, there was a different vibration of consciousness.

Even those of us born with a degree of Indigo or Crystal energy, which many of us were, we were born into a time when consciousness as a whole was different. It was easier for us to fit in, because the world energy wasn’t ripe to support more than a small degree of Indigo or Crystal energy. If we didn't fit in, no one much cared because there weren't enough of us that society as a whole had to worry about us.

Now that we are into the new energy, all children being born have these new patternings, new ways of being. At either side of the spectrum they will show up as either strong-willed (Indigo) or quietly accepting (Crystal). Most children will be some combination or melding of the two. In neither case are they created to give in to the demands of society—us. Both energetic types are programmed to get their way, and will stop at nothing to do so. Though they will each go about it in different ways.

Our job as parents, teachers, guardians, mentors, is not to change our children. Our job is to see who they really are, in all their godliness, and to help them see themselves the same way. Or perhaps better said, to not try to take that from them.

It’s our job to help them display and use the skills and talents that they bring to earth, while helping them live in a world that does not yet understand what they have to offer. Only by allowing them to give us what they came here to give us will we all get to where we want to be.

Where do we want to be? Ultimately, where we want to be is in a world where each individual lives as the god-self that they truly are, while incarnate in a human body. As a society, we have never done that before. That’s the game that’s afoot, even though often it doesn’t look like it is. That is what’s going on in our world, and will be until we determine to end that game and create a new one, either here on earth or elsewhere.

In other words, the possibilities for humanity have never been so open, so available. Do you want to live in that world, the one of unbounded possibility, or do you want to continue to live in the world as it’s always been, where we try to make each other fit into molds that we no longer fit into, just because that’s how we’ve always done it?

If you want to live in the new world, the one ripe with possibility, dare to dream and dare to dream big. Start believing in those dreams, and continue to believe in them until they become grounded in physical reality. Let no one stop you from being what you choose to be, having what you choose to have, living as you choose to live. And while you’re doing that, allow others the same opportunity. Not the least of which is our children.

What happens if you don’t?

You don’t need to worry, it’s going to happen anyway. The train has left the station, and whether you are on board or not, it is well into the new journey. Your children are already on board. Will you, through your continued belief that they are here to serve you, or to live up to your—or society’s—expectations, run alongside the train and continually attempt to pull them off? or will you allow them to sit in the engineer’s seat, helping to guide the train to where they know, intuitively, that it can go?

Wouldn’t it be fun to be a passenger on that train and just see where they take you—us? Wouldn’t it be even more fun to be an engineer too, and split off onto a track of your own choosing?

Afterthoughts

There is a lot of information about Indigo and Crystal children circulating about, mostly generated because our children are exhibiting behaviors that we don’t understand, and doing so on a global and ever-increasing basis. The labels themselves are attempts to categorize behaviors and ways of being that we can't comprehend and don't know what to do about.

Much information is available in books and on websites. I recommend Jennifer Hoffman’s “Today’s Children” as a place to start. It’s free and covers the bases well. Lee Carroll (channel for Kryon) and Jan Tober have distributed a lot of mainstream material on Indigos and Crystals. Many spiritual guides have channeled material on Indigos and Crystals, most free for the finding.

These behaviors and changes in Being aren't just in our own communities, they are global and continually growing. Some see this as cause for alarm. Out of that alarm, theories and studies have been developed to help us understand and deal with these new behaviors.

Rather than go into panic or alarm, I would like to see us, as a society, as a world, stop trying to cope with these new behaviors and see them for what they are—wonderful new ways of being. Ways that, at other levels of our own being, we have asked for. I would like us to see these children as representing that which we want to awaken to ourselves.

It’s going to happen. New children are being born every day, and each of them inherently carries this greater ability to stand in the power of their own creation. They will continue to come. Eventually we won’t be talking about Indigos and Crystals, we’ll just be talking about children. At that point we’ll have accepted them as normal, which of course they are.

Until that day comes, the challenge for us, as parents, teachers, and society in general, is in allowing our children to grow and to become who and what they intended before they came here, while helping them live in the world as it currently is. That is what we struggle with on a daily basis.

So I will ask the question again: How hard do you want the struggle to be? If there’s a struggle at all, our children will eventually win it. They came here, at the request of all of us, equipped to teach us how to create, and live in, a new kind of world. Little by little, they, and we, are creating that world. It’s happening and will continue to happen. The only question is, are you willing to get on board with it, or do you want to continue to struggle against it? The choice is yours. It always is.

Freedom, And The Power of Your Heart

I was talking to a friend who was more or less lamenting the lack of freedom for women in our world. This was part of a discussion group pretty much centered around blaming men for the ills of women, particularly regarding men oppressing women. That conversation got me thinking.

It isn’t up to anyone else to grant us our freedom. We do that. Each and every individual on the planet has the responsibility for their own freedom. Certainly this is far easier in a free society than in one that is suppressed or oppressed, but no matter where we live in this world, freedom is still our own personal responsibility.

Freedom isn’t going to be given to us from somewhere outside of ourselves, it’s given to us by ourselves from inside ourselves. As my very loving and very wise daughter-in-law reminds us, the more empowering phrase is "Freedom to... not freedom from."

Freedom isn’t a place, it’s a state of being. Just like happiness isn’t a place, it’s a state of being. If we want to be free, if we want to be happy, we have to decide that we are, feel that we are, live as if we are, and then nothing, nothing can keep us from it.

No set of circumstances can change how a person feels if they don’t allow it to do so. I’m reminded of a scene from the movie “The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio,” where Evelyn, struggling mother of 10 and the focus of this true story, is listening to yet another apology from her tormented husband. In his remorse for causing her pain he says “I only want to make you happy” to which she replies “I don’t need you to make me happy. I only need you to leave me alone when I am.”

This gets to the core of personal realization. This is at the core of the shift in consciousness—each and every individual accepting their part in the creation of their own world. It doesn’t need to be a revolution that continues to pit some of us against others of us. Women pitting themselves against men is no more a solution than men pitting themselves against women has been. It can be a revolution that happens so quietly we only see it as a revolution in retrospect.

As we have seen from centuries upon centuries of bloodshed, ‘pushing against’ isn’t the solution. The solution lies within each individual taking responsibility for their own heart, and living by what that heart tells them. Within each heart is the god-force, the part of us that sees the bigger picture, knows why we chose to be born into the circumstances we were born into, and is guiding us every step of the way. Whether we choose to listen to that guidance is the question, and within that question lies the answer.

Following our heart is first done by accepting that, for whatever known or unknown reason, we chose the circumstances in which we live. We choose them every minute of every day. We are creators. We are of god. We are part and parcel of god, each of us. No matter how disgusted we are with another human being, no matter how unacceptable we find their behavior to be, no matter how much we feel that they have hurt us or hurt someone we love or care about, the plain and simple truth is that we are all god, with all the power of creation that that implies.

I know that most people who hear that will recoil in pain at the mere possibility, let alone see it as any kind of reality. And yet knowing that, accepting that, is at the heart of change. Because change comes from within. It comes from knowing that you make the choices for your own life, no matter what physical circumstances you find yourself in. When you can look around at every circumstance in your life and accept responsibility for it, then you are experiencing true freedom. And you can do that anywhere, at any time.

There are no victims. Don’t allow yourself to be one, and don’t see others that way. Does that mean we have to condone the horrors that happen to ourselves and others? Of course not. What it does mean is when we see the horror, experience the horror, we have to know there is another way, and then focus on finding that way. Focusing on how it’s been is just more re-creation of how it’s been, it leaves no space for change to occur.

From Theo as received by Gina Lake in her book "Return to Essence":

The past is not a predictor of the future, and yet the mind believes that it is.

In other words, the past is not a predictor of the future unless we believe that it is, unless we allow it to be.

Each and every one of us is more powerful than can even be hinted at. That we can’t see that we are lies in the duality, the illusion of right and wrong, good and bad, the illusion of separation. That’s what the great planetary awakening is all about. It’s about realizing that the time has come to see duality for the illusion that it is.

Some of us (I, being American, am not one of them) have taken on enormous challenges to be born into a culture of oppression at this particular time. My heart goes out to those of you living in the throes of that, but also my encouragement, my appreciation, my love, and my knowingness that you can make a difference. You do make a difference.

As Ghandi so eloquently said,

Be the change you want to see in the world.

No one anywhere on earth is in a better position to be the change than those who are suffering the most. Follow your heart and let others see that such a thing is possible. It doesn’t necessarily come from standing atop a soapbox, it comes from living in your own power and allowing others to see that it can be done.

Standing in that power, you have something that others want. Even if they don’t know what that thing is, they will draw from you the possibility that their life can be different. That is the seed that you plant by being the sovereign being that you are, by listening to your self, by not letting others tell you what is right for you, by not letting others tell you how you ought to live or how you ought to behave.

You know what is right for you. Trust it. Your guidance is there, it comes from you. It comes from within you. Feel it. Know it. Follow it. But that also means that you must allow others the same freedom. Whether they are doing what you think they ought to do is moot, what they do or do not do is their decision. You are not responsible for it.

In situations of oppression it’s far more difficult to accept that we are choosing our circumstances, because logic would tell us that a person would never do that. We just cannot reconcile that any human being would choose to be born into conditions that are less than ideal, let alone atrocious.

But there’s an upside to a human being taking on such a great challenge, and that is that even the smallest movement toward accepting their own power, the power of god within, even one tiny decision, adds enormously to the shift of the whole of consciousness. Even considering the possibility that there are peaceful solutions to every situation, that we can all live in harmony, and that we can do so one heart at a time, adds to the global consciousness of such thinking. Congratulate yourself for being such a person. You make a difference.

The greatest change comes from the smallest decisions, and those are the decisions we make each and every day, about whether we will allow ourselves to follow our heart or whether we won’t. It happens in a moment, and all those moments add up.

Espavo, friends. May you find the true power of your own heart in every moment.

Breath of Life

It must be obvious that breathing is the most important thing we do. I mean, if we don’t breathe for more than about three minutes we incur permanent brain damage. After a couple more minutes of oxygen starvation we die.

The will to survive is so strong, so instinctual, that the body will not tolerate oxygen starvation voluntarily. This is why we cannot involuntarily hold our breath until we die.

A child isn’t “born” into the earth environment until it takes its first breath. This is the moment when the human baby begins living on its own, in its new environment outside of the mother, even if, such as is the case with some premature babies, that involuntary breathing is supplemented or temporarily replaced by machinery.

But did you know that your breath is more than the simple mechanism that keeps your body filled with oxygen, keeps it from dieing? If that were not so, our bodies would not continue to live after we die.

Our breath is like an energetic umbilical cord, connecting us, in our human body, with all other realms and dimensions. It’s the direct route to integrating all of our experiences. Consciously breathing reconnects us to who we really are in ways we are only just coming to realize.

Whenever you feel stressed or anxious or confused, simply breathe. Whenever you think of it, breathe! Breathe .. and enjoy.

From Uriel as received by Jennifer Hoffman:

Know that the air that you breathe is the physical manifestation of the energy of the Source in your environment. When you breathe, you are taking in the wondrous energy of the Creator God.

And this from Kuthumi, as received by Chris Simon in his channeled book “Good Blowing Job: How to Get A-Head with the Breath”:

And here you were thinking you were just walking around, doing this bothersome thing called breathing, and now you come to realize it to be a portal to experiencing everything imaginable in any realm, while you stand here on Earth, in any given moment, even during the times when you're pretending to be a Silly Silly Human.

Do you notice too, how immediately and effortlessly the breath takes you away from the way your mind has been feeling in the New Energy (tired and overworked)?

And in the moment of the breath, when your mind literally disengages from its hurrying and worrying and spinning and turning, you feel quieted and calmed and centred and balanced and peaceful and loved and loving and loveable.

Do you not find it amazing at times how close this refreshing of your humanness with your divinity is, in any given moment?

As close as a breath.

and

Don't you find it refreshing that there is no “instruction manual” on breathing? Why would you need one, you have been breathing since you were birthed onto this Earth and you are breathing right now as you are reading or listening to these very words. The only difference is that, as you have entered and are now living in and with New Energy, you now have the potential to become conscious of your breath.

Conscious of the act of breathing.

And that's it.

Now do you come to understand the feeling of your breath traveling through your entire body? Your entire Being. Not just your nose or your mouth or your lungs, but every cell, every awareness, every level, here and in other realms. And Dear Ones, that is going on every few seconds with each inhale and each exhale.

Each breath is an experience of your Self circling back and knowing. Yet sharing all of this with those around you on Earth and in other realms.

From Tobias

Just breathe. Go into yourself. Feel yourself—not all of the world’s outside energies, but yourself right now. It’s okay to do that. It’s not selfish. As a matter of fact, it is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.

You know you can let down for just a moment, let down on the energies and the attachments to your children and to your spouse and to your job and business and this great shift on Earth right now and just come back into yourself.
Come back into you, into that sacred vessel that you call your body, into that sacred device called the mind. Come back into you … into your spirit, into this moment.

Pets and Us

I enjoyed this question and answer from Tobias as received by Geoff Hoppe at Crimson Circle.

SHAUMBRA 4: … A beautiful being has come into [our] life. Her name is Maggie. She is called a Weimaraner by description of the breed of dog she is. And – I don’t know – maybe you can tell us just a little something. I know she’s had some trials in this lifetime …

TOBIAS: When anybody, when Shaumbra, is considering their pets – oh, they’re such a marvelous thing and there’s a whole history of Tobias and Tobias, Jr. and dogs. It’s interwoven into all of our lifetimes.* But take a look at the time that this precious one came into your life. You could say that pets – dogs and cats and a few birds – are generally the manifestation of a part of yourself.

They’re not what you would call your total self, but your energy is infused into them and they – these precious beings, these precious type of devas or type of earth beings, not quite angels, but they’re earth beings – they absorb your energy. So when one like this comes into your life, take a look at the timing when it came in, what it’s sharing back with you right now, which is probably love and wisdom, but also take a look at its past because that past also is a reflection of your past, in the case that you get a pet like this.

Now for those getting brand new pets, generally they are ones who have been with you before. They’re very familiar with your energy and your journey, and they’ve been walking along the path with you for as many lifetimes as you could count. So they generally feel very, very close. They’re like energy sponges – consciously. They pull your energy in and they help you work with it in such a loving way – as long as you’re choosing it to be loving.

So … when you look in its eyes understand that it is its own being, but it’s also being such a part of you as well.

* Tobias has said that Geoff was Tobias Jr. during the Tobias lifetime. Geoff and Linda have a dog that is often present when he channels Tobias.

I enjoy knowing that our pets are so close to us. They surely feel close! April Crawford's Veronica has said that when pets die, if there’s a strong desire on our part and their part that they return to us but that return is down the timeline a bit, they’ll often take on the body of a bird temporarily. Doing so allows them to stay physically close to us while the timing is worked out for them to return. I find comfort in that.

What I found most interesting in the comment from Tobias is how true it seems to be for both my cat (who is most definitely my cat) and our dog. Our dog is more “our” dog than tied to any of us individually. He was brought into our lives about 10 years ago, after we finally gave in to our daughter’s constant begging for a dog. Over time it’s become clear that this dog has become the family pet rather than her pet alone. She was gracious enough to allow him to stay with us after she grew up and moved out on her own. We are ever grateful that she did so, as this dog has been and continues to be such a joy to us.

I think I mentioned, in another post, how much freedom means to my husband and me. We are both self-employed, and both of us work alone, without employees. Our work is like that by design. We both know we could grow our businesses and employ others, but for us, right now, the freedom of answering only to ourselves is the most valuable thing we have. We could be free in any number of ways, but for now this is what we choose. Without a doubt our personal freedom is at the top of each of our lists for how we like to live.

Enter our dog, who was given up twice within a year because of his propensity for jumping 6-foot fences to get out of the owner's yard. This dog will not be penned up. He will be as inventive—and annoying—as possible until he takes or is given his freedom. When we first got him from the Humane Society we were told about this “misbehavior” that caused his owners so much frustration and upset, and eventually caused them to give him up.

In order to keep the dog in our yard we put him on a generous leash. This leash was attached to a cable that ran the width of the yard. He could move the length of the leash, which slid back and forth the length of the cable, so he could move around a lot. In fact had access to nearly the whole back yard.

It wasn’t enough. He was confined and he knew it, and he was not happy. He howled and whined and barked and howled and whined and barked, non-stop on that leash. When we were outside with him he would quiet down. But the moment we left him there, tied up in as generous a way as we could think of, he’d howl. And howl. And howl.

We read up on all the ways to control such behavior. We talked to dog behavior experts. We reviewed all the different ways to get this dog to fall in line with city ordinances that he stay in our yard unless we were walking him ourselves—on a leash. We tried a few of the less severe methods. We even tried giving him his own "cave", a generously-large and strong open mesh metal dog kennel that we borrowed from our son. The dog wouldn't have any part of it. One time we put him in it and closed the door hoping he'd take to it. He chewed (destroyed) the metal latch and pushed and shoved the metal door until it bent enough that he could squeeze out.

We agonized for many months during this "training" process. I will say that is was agonizing for all of us, dog included. Eventually we gave up. Not because the dog didn’t learn, but because it became clear to us that he didn’t want to learn. He wanted to be free.

Could we have persisted in breaking him? I’m sure we could. We decided not to. I began to see this dog as the embodiment of what I considered to be the most important attribute of life, freedom. He didn’t mind being indoors most of the time. Some dogs would mind that, he didn’t. Nor do I. I work out of a home office so I’m at home a lot.

It—this relationship of the dog and us—turned out to be a marriage made in heaven. He's loyal and loving to a fault, the way most dogs are. He stays inside with me most of the time. When he needs to go out I am there to let him out, unleashed. Any time that I or my husband are outside he is out there with us, yet free to come and go. He doesn’t mind being on a leash when we go for a walk, because he’s with us. Being with us seems to be the key. If he’s with us he’ll forgo his freedom somewhat. If we aren’t around he requires his freedom.

So here’s this dog who needs his freedom every bit as much as we do, who came into our lives shortly after we both decided to get serious about our freedom (by quitting our jobs and becoming self-employed). Amazing.

Then there’s my cat, the one who is clearly my cat. To show you a little bit of synchronicity, I had wanted this cat for a very long time. I had her clearly pictured: gray and white shorthair, female. I wanted her, but I didn't do much in the way of trying to find her. I figured if things worked in life the way I thought they did, she'd find her way to me.

My husband, bless his heart, searched the Humane Society off and on for months (unknown to me) but couldn’t find what I had said I wanted. One time he found a cat he thought I’d like and brought me to see it. Despite the fact that this cat wasn’t a gray and white shorthair female but instead a black and white long haired male, he seemed like a loving kitty so we brought him home.

Long story short, this cat, the black and white, used us to get him out of prison. Of that I am certain. He was the most adorable, loving thing in his little cage at the Humane Society. He stuck both paws out of the bars and lovingly grabbed my arm, with his claws retracted. He purred and tried to rub his head against me while still caged. My heart melted. We brought him home.

From the minute that cat got to our house it was clear he didn’t want to be there. Gone was the totally loving creature we'd experienced at the Humane Society. In our home this cat became completely indifferent; he could have cared less about either one of us.

Sure he'd take our attention if we wanted to give it, but he wasn't the attention seeker/lover I had always experienced as cat pets. Certainly nowhere near as affectionate as he'd been before we brought him home. This cat was always off adventuring around the neighborhood. He seemed to enjoy that. Occasionally he would jump into the front seat of a neighbor’s car or truck. I always thought that was curious behavior. Whatever neighbor it was who's car he had gotten into would gently pick him up and put him back on the street. This went on for months.

Then one day this cat disappeared. Just up and disappeared. It didn’t surprise me. It had become clear to me that he didn’t want to be with us. I worried about him for awhile until I realized that was just silly. Here was a cat that was just like me in one way, he was bound and determined to have the life he wanted. It didn’t take long for me to realize that he wasn’t coming back. And I knew that wherever he went, whoever he ended up with, both cat and owner would be delighted with each other.

Back to my cat. My (now ex) daughter-in-law, who I still love dearly, knew about my desire for a gray and white cat and had been putting feelers out. From a gal that she worked with she heard about a gray and white kitten that had been found and taken to a veterinarian clinic and was being cared for there. This kitten needed a home; were we interested?

The vet where she was being held was some 25+ miles away from where we live, but we (my daughter-in-law and me), decided since I wanted a gray and white so badly and hadn’t been able to find one, we might as well go have a look. And so we did.

We arrived at the vet and told them why we were there. One of the lab assistants at the vet’s office brought out the cat that we had come to see. She was perfect! She laid down in my lap and while I petted her she purred happily and soon was fast asleep.

This poor kitten had been through a lot. She had been out in the cruel world for who knows how long, had become malnourished almost to the point of death, and had gotten infested with lice and had ringworm. To cure the ringworm her fur had been shaved in a number of places, and she was thin. The vet had done a good job getting her health back, but we were told she’d have to be isolated from other pets and family members for weeks, to ensure that the ringworm didn't spread. I didn’t care. I loved her and brought her home.

We had picked up the kitten on a Saturday. On Monday, when my daughter-in-law returned to work, she called me. Her friend who had told her about the cat wanted to know why we hadn’t taken it home. What?! That didn’t make any sense, we had taken it home!

Turns out that the cat we went to see was not the cat we were shown. The cat we went to see was a long hair, while the one we were shown was the short hair that I had been waiting for. Since “my kitten” was still sick she wasn’t supposed to have been shown at all. Don’t ya love it when life works out like that? I’m still thankful to that lab assistant who ‘accidentally’ (heh) showed us the wrong cat. The one that was really the right cat.

So this new cat needed to be isolated, medicated, and cared for a great deal during her first weeks with us. I was the one who took care of her, and she bonded quite strongly with me. Forever after she has been my cat.

Funny thing about this cat, she didn’t much like being outside. Once in awhile she’d get brave and venture out, but these adventures always ended up in even greater trauma for her. I’d find her huddled in a corner under the deck in our back yard, crying that terrorized cry that cats cry, trying to stay safe in what for her was a terrifying world.

During this time I was reaching a low point in my own life. Too much to tell in this short space, but I was going through my own inability to be in the world. I spent a great deal of time inside. Inside was comfortable, safe, and I didn’t have to deal with being in a world that I didn’t feel like I fit in and that I wasn't sure I wanted to be in. The cat and I lived in this safe indoor world together.

One day, years later, I shifted out of that fear of the world. I won’t go into detail about that, just to say that it was a process that culminated one day in my fear dissolving. I began to go outside, and I began to do things outside.

Very soon after this shift in me I realized that the cat was taking her own first tentative steps exploring the great outdoors too. Whereas for years she never even went near a door, now she was taking the opportunity to go outside. I hadn't noticed her slipping out, and she was going out while I was still inside. Not only was she going out, she wasn’t running for the nearest cover (under a car, under the deck, behind our stacked wood) like she had done the few times she had gone out before. Instead she was exploring being in this fun new place. She was mimicking me!

The cat still spends more time inside than outside, but so do I. The difference is that she isn’t afraid to be outside anymore. She goes out frequently when the dog does, and comes back when he does, probably because he’s much better at getting let back in than she is. If she misses coming in with the dog she just cries in the normal way that cats cry to let you know they want in. Quite a difference from the way that she used to be outside. Quite a difference in the way that I am when I'm out of the house now too.

So pets carry certain characteristics of their owners because they are far more closely tied to our energy than we realize. Is it any wonder that pets so often look like, or come to look like, their masters?

How much like you are your animals? What might they be showing you that's worth seeing?

Games People Play

If you’ve been following my posts for long you’ll know how much I love the analogy of life on planet earth as a game. There are many wonderful analogies that help us understand why we are here, but of all the explanations I’ve heard, the game analogy works best for me.

There’s no doubt that besides being fun, which is the point of a game afterall, games can be taken very seriously. So it is with life. Thinking of life as a game helps remind me that we have a choice in any moment how we perceive our experience.

I saw a new twist to the game idea in this comment from Kuthumi:

Some of you struggle with belief systems. For instance, you try to create them in the mind. You’re playing with yourself in your head. A belief system is what you feel, not what you think. You go in and say, “Well I believe in being abundant,” but yet you don’t feel abundant. You feel that the world is controlled by a small few, which it is, who give nothing to others, which they don’t. But you forget to believe and to feel that you don’t have to play that game with them. You can create your own game.

It’s interesting to me that we can think of everything we do, each of our belief systems, as one of uncountable numbers of games that we created, all for our personal experience and enlightenment, even amusement. Some we created alone, others we co-create with others. All can be given up. All can be re-created differently.

We don’t need to know why we created certain beliefs, but we can if we wish. We don’t need to know how long ago we created a belief (this lifetime or eons ago), but that too is knowable, if we wish to seek the answer. Whether we know or do not know where a belief came from, we can always know how the belief has served us. We can always view it in the context of a game, either to continue playing knowing full well that no matter how serious a game it is we’re still ‘playing’, or we can choose to stop playing that game and choose a different one. As Abraham insists,

a belief is simply a thought we keep thinking

and we can change what we think at any time.

We all know how easy it is to stop playing any given game. We’ve all had games, sports, hobbies that we’ve enjoyed and then given up. For whatever reason we simply decide not to play that game anymore. It could be as simple as a “been there, done that” sort of attitude. The point is that we have a choice: continue playing or don’t.

Isn’t it amazing that we can take that attitude about our beliefs? We can simply say, at any point, “I’m tired of playing the poverty game. Been there, done that, ready to move on.” And then get fully engaged in the wealth game. Or the “relationships that work” game. Or the “living my passion” game. Or the “joy in every experience” game. Talk about opportunities to be creative, oh my. Just think of the games we can make up!

It really speaks to allowing each and every individual to believe what they believe and live however they live, without needing to change them. You simply allow them to play the games that they made up, while you play games that you make up. You don't have to be playing the same game as everyone else, even if you're experiencing the same event! You can believe anything you want, and not one other single human being on the planet has to believe the same way for you to be happy—and successful—playing your game.

What new game will you dream up? Role play it and watch it come true!

Plan B

Abraham was asked, “What happens if you have a Plan B?” Abraham’s response was immediate and simple:

Having a Plan B assures Plan B.

Can you see why that is?

We only have a Plan B when we don’t believe our Plan A will work. If we firmly believe in Plan A, it won’t even occur to us to have a Plan B.

Think about what you’re feeling when you start formulating a Plan B. Maybe you’re feeling hesitant, or even fearful, about what you are wanting. Having a Plan B brings you some relief from those negative feelings. As well it should, because that relief tells you that’s really the plan you believe in. Sticking with Plan A no matter what can be like stepping onto the high wire without a net. Having a Plan B takes some of that fear away. There are other ways to find that relief without formulating a Plan B.

Being human, it seems only prudent to have a Plan B, right? “What if” you ask, “I mean, just what if Plan A doesn’t happen, even though I believe strongly in it? Don’t I need a Plan B ‘just in case’, so I’m prepared? so I’ll know what to do if Plan A doesn’t happen?” “Only the most foolhardy people would go through life with no Plan Bs!” you say.



The simple truth is this: You never need a Plan B, nor is it in your best interests to have one if you truly want to change the kinds of things and events you are manifesting.

If Plan A doesn’t work and you have a Plan B, you’ll move effortlessly and unconsciously into Plan B. If you have a Plan B and Plan A didn’t pan out, you’ll miss whatever intuition, inspiration and guidance might be available to you that would lead you to manifesting Plan A.

Plan A not manifesting doesn’t mean anything other than that Plan A didn’t manifest—yet. It doesn’t mean it won’t. It doesn’t mean you screwed up. It doesn’t mean you’re wrong to want Plan A. It doesn’t mean you don’t deserve Plan A. You are already worthy. You are already deserving. Those are not things that need to be earned, those qualities are inherent in who you are.

Remember that it’s not your work to figure out how to get Plan A to manifest. It’s only your work to want Plan A and get into vibrational harmony with it. It’s Source’s job to manifest it into your reality.

How do you get into vibrational harmony with Plan A? By believing in it. How do you come to believe in something you don’t yet believe in? Notice how you feel when Plan A doesn’t happen, or when you think it might not happen. Do you feel fearful? Angry? Upset? Hurt? What thoughts were you having that brought up those feelings? Are you beginning to see conflicting beliefs that cause you to sabotage yourself in your creation of Plan A?

If your Plan A doesn’t manifest, or doesn’t seem to be manifesting, don’t immediately shift into a Plan B. Instead, be quiet within for a moment. Breathe. Turn off your thinking. Listen in the stillness. Allow yourself to feel however you feel. See if some insight or intuition doesn’t pop up in that moment of quiet contemplation.

If you don’t see anything fearful, if no insights or intuition are apparent, tell yourself whatever you need to tell yourself to be at peace with your decision to manifest your Plan A. You might want to remind yourself that you are already deserving, you are already worthy. You might want to remind yourself that its not your job to know the how and where and when of your manifestation, its only your job to want it and get into vibrational harmony with it. You might want to remind yourself that you will be inspired to the appropriate action when the time is right.

If you’re struggling to get back into the feeling place of your Plan A, read or listen to something inspirational, do processes (Abraham has a ton of them), feel what it will feel like when Plan A manifests. Do whatever it takes to get yourself re-focused into Plan A. Get determined to manifest Plan A!

Our seemingly innate desire to think our way out of a situation that isn’t going as we wished or hoped is just our habitual way of wanting to force creation. We spend a lot of time and effort teaching each other that the way to create is with the mind. It never is, it just seems that way because we’re so used to forcing things.

Conscious creation can’t be forced. It’s not an activity for the brain or the mind. Allow yourself to feel whatever you feel when you have a Plan A and don’t see it manifesting. Don’t immediately develop a Plan B, unless you strongly feel that you no longer want Plan A. If that’s the case, what you’re really saying is that you want a new Plan A.

During this process, simply see whatever is there to be seen. If you are quiet, if you aren’t filling your mind with ideas on how to ‘solve’ your current situation, inspiration will come to you. Insights will come to you. Creative solutions will come to you.

Insight, inspiration, and creativity are ways that You speak to you through the focus of your Inner Being. That voice is always there, guiding you, but it often can’t get past the clutter of your mental processes. Listen for that inner guidance and you won’t even want a Plan B.

Of Ego and Essence

I have this thing I want to create. This is something I’ve never created before, so I have no track record of success in creating this particular thing. It’s a pretty big thing, as things go. By that I mean it has a lot of significance. Most people would say that such a thing cannot be consciously created, consciously manifested.

Most people would say, if such a thing manifested at all, that it would be by luck or by cheating or by 'the grace of god,' as if god were something that was not us. That’s what most people would say. There’s not much listening in our world—yet—for conscious creation, or for ‘you are god also’ for that matter. But I know something that ‘most people’ do not know. If you’re reading this you know it too.

We know that we can all consciously create because we unconsciously create all the time. Every waking moment of every day in fact. I know that I can consciously create, and I know that I can consciously create this thing that I want. I know, strongly, deeply and without reservation, that I can consciously want a thing and have it show up in my experience. That is, have it manifest.

Though I know this with every fiber of my being, thoughts pop into my head frequently that question my ability to do this. I have some ability to look at thoughts and choose whether or not to accept them, and over the years I’ve had a lot of success doing so. I’ve had some success doing the same with these thoughts.

But I noticed that these thoughts have been coming with increased frequency and urgency, and that increase in frequency and urgency caused me to stop and ask myself what was going on. Why was I trying to sabotage myself with thoughts that are exactly opposite of what I want to create? Why am I frequently being visited by thoughts that say “I can’t” when I know I can?

It’s kind of a fun thing that happens in my life when I ask questions like that. After asking some kind of question to no one in particular, generally I’ll end up being guided to the anwer. I’ll see something that sparks an interest in me that I follow, or I’ll have some inspiration to do something or go somewhere or look something up or call someone. Or someone will say something, or I’ll see something on TV or in a movie or something I’m reading that either answers the question or becomes another clue to follow.

In other words, very often when I follow my impulses I’ll be led right to the thing that answers the question I was asking. I’ve begun to think of my life as one giant Easter Egg Hunt, where the clues to the answers I seek are hidden around me and it’s my task (my joy!) to find them.

Over a year ago I contacted Gina Lake for a private consult. Gina Lake is a wonderful gal of many talents, one of which is a strong background in understanding and interpreting astrological charts, and another is channeling her spirit guides, a group she calls Theo. She writes books with Theo on her shoulder, and gives personal sessions reading charts and channeling Theo.

I called her for insight into an an area of my life where I was having some frustration. It was a terrific session, one that I enjoyed and which helped me a great deal with the issues I was having at the time. I should add that I highly recommend Gina to anyone who has such an interest. Gina had sent me a tape recording of our phone session, which I put into an old tape recorder and listened to.

In my house I have a lot of places to store things. Lots of drawers and closets and cubby hole things. My dad had a saying “A place for everything and everything in it’s place.” I’ve spent the greater part of my life living in opposition to that philosophy. Likely not by accident, if you think about how children often and purposefully do things in direct opposition to the wishes of their parents. ;) So anyway .. Often I don’t pay much attention—sometimes no attention—to where I put things. Add to this that I’m not particularly organized, so things in my house get ‘misplaced’ frequently.

Knowing all that, it probably won’t surprise you that at some point the recorder—with the tape still in it—became lost. I searched for it rather diligently for awhile, but never found it. As time went by, every once in awhile I’d realize the recorder and tape were still missing, do a brief search, not find them, not care much that yet again I hadn’t uncovered the recorder’s hiding place, and move along. Eventually I stopped looking for it at all. I figured if I ever really needed it, it would show up.

Back to this question I was pondering—the question about why thoughts, unwanted thoughts, keep surfacing in my mind despite the fact that they are thoughts that draw me away from an intent that I have, a very strong intent, to consciously create something in my life, something that I really want and fully intend to have. I know that I will prevail, yet these thoughts keep surfacing. I felt like I was sabotaging myself. I wanted to know why, and what to do about it.

It has become a habit with me, when I have a question like that, a question where the answer is not forthcoming immediately, to just let it go. I know that somewhere, somehow, the answer will come. I’ve pretty much stopped being concerned about the when and the how, I just live in the knowing that it will.

So that is what I did. I had this question mulling around in my mind, and I let it go.

Some time later I noticed that my husband was digging around in a compartment of our buffet—the buffet having some of those infamous cubby holes I mentioned. He was making quite a mess moving things around, and I had an impulse when he was done to get in there and clean things up. Not because I insist on all things being neat and tidy, because I don’t. I simply had an impulse to get in there and clean things up. So I did.

In a corner of one of the shelves, half buried but still visible, was the tape recorder with the tape of my session with Gina and Theo. “Well, huh!” I thought. “There it is!” After all this time of not being able to find this recorder and tape, there it was, hidden in the corner of a shelf in the buffet. The buffet is not a place I would have ever thought to look for it, and hadn’t. But there it was.

All giddy with excitement at having found my session tape, I had a sudden impulse to listen to it again there and then. So I did. I had no inkling that I was being guided to this ‘find’. But I was. I realized that soon enough.

If you didn’t know it already, that’s the nature of the way that spirit often speaks to us. It rarely comes as a voice shouting “hey! the answer to your question is on that tape from Gina, you'll find the tape in the buffet!” .. instead it’s just little flashes of inspiration that pop up. Things like ‘notice the buffet’ ‘clean it up’ ‘play it now’.

Little inspirations, little clues that, if we follow them without needing to know why they are there or what they mean or needing them to mean anything at all, will easily and fluidly lead us to where we say we want to be. Where I said I wanted to be was with the answer to my question, or more accurately, with a way to move past my self-doubt.

As I listened to the tape, in there with other wisdoms I found this gem that seemed to speak directly to what I was experiencing:

Don’t be halted by the doubt. Any kind of doubt always comes from the mind. Do you think essence creates doubt? No, essence never creates doubt. Essence doesn’t need self-doubt to protect you. Essence protects you in other ways and through its own wisdom.

Not long after that was the following excerpt. What Theo is discussing here is about ego and essence: About ‘us’ as human and ‘Us’ as spirit.

This that you are—who you truly are—is alive right now. It’s not some concept. “It” is living your life, it’s breathing your body, it’s right here. It gets overshadowed by this manufactured me that the mind speaks about: I’m this, I’m that, I like this, I like that.

This whole identity is created by the mind. It feels real, it seems real, it even has feelings attached to it which makes it more real, but that isn’t who you are. All that mental stuff, it isn’t you.

What is real is this aliveness that is living this life. This awareness that is aware of this life, that is aware of thoughts, that is aware of feelings. You are that awareness. And this awareness is co-creating with itself on other levels.

So that which you are is incarnate. It’s not just a concept of a higher self that’s sitting up there in some other dimension (separate from you). It’s incarnate. It’s here. And when you’re responding naturally and joyfully, that’s it responding, that’s it living. When you’re involved with thought, that’s your ego living you.

So there are two ways of Being in any moment. There is Being aligned with the ego and the mind, and there’s Being aligned with essence. Any moment any of those two things can be happening, but not both of them at the same time. So there’s a dance going on in every moment—people spend time involved in the ego, and they spend time in essence.

The more spiritually progressed you are, the more time you spend identified with your true self rather than the mind. And that’s what awakening is about. It’s a movement toward full identification with essence as it’s living you now.

There was the answer to my question, the inspiration I was looking for. There aren’t two me’s, the one who knows she is consciously creating and the one who’s trying to sabotage those creations, there’s only me. Just me. I’m either aware or unaware, but always me. I'm not sometimes a powerful god and sometimes an insignificant human. I am always god—as you are—so I’m always creating. Therefore there's no such thing as an insignificant human. The question is, am I being aware of what I’m creating or am I not?

It was fun, having the questions I had, knowing that something would come along that would ignite me back to the belief that I hold so strongly and so clearly, the belief that we can manifest any desire that we have if we just get out of our own way. What Theo said helps me remember that thoughts are just thoughts, that they don’t mean anything unless we give them meaning, that we can choose which thoughts forward us in where we want to be and discard the rest.

It helps me remember that there is no separation between us and our Higher Self/Inner Being. We are our Inner Being. Our Inner Being is us. There’s not two of us like it sometimes seems, the lowly human and the mighty spirit. There’s only one of us. We are the creator and the created, all at the same time, all the time. There’s never a time when we aren’t that. And that which we are is every bit as powerful as that implies.

As Seth has said:

... you ARE your entity. You are its materialization in space and time as you understand it. There is no division between your entity and what you are.

You are your entity growing through the seasons. The entity is not some soul—completed, perfect, done—and you a product. You are a living portion of the tree of your entity. You experience newly in your own dimension, and therefore enrich your entity as it constantly enriches you, for your source springs from it. But you are one, and there is no division.

All that’s going on, when it seems like there are two of us, is that we forget that we are both the creator and the created. We can remember again any time we choose to. In the remembering is the power. In the remembering are our conscious manifestations. In the remembering is the awareness that we are the creator, we are god, a knowing that has lain forgotten for so long. Lain forgotten on purpose, because that was the nature of our game.

That game is over now. It’s time to wake up. It’s time to remember.

It's time to know that we’re into a new game. A game where we experience walking in the remembering instead of walking in the forgetting.

It’s time to start playing that new game now. It’s time to own up to and consciously use our power, our inherent power, as creators, as conscious creators. It’s time.
