Making It Through The Hard Times…Uplifted

Share this

To some extent we all know that the year 2012 represents a time of great transformation and change on this planet, and for the beginning of the Golden Age. But what is the catalyst for this transformation and change? And what motivates you to grow and change the most in your life?

I read a comment on another blog recently that was pure wisdom and I’ll share it with you here. But first, I have been saying for years that things will get worse on this planet before they get better, and I’m still saying that. But that’s because all the bad stuff being exposed motivates us to make real and significant changes in our world…changes that will contribute to the larger 2012 transformation. (I feel the tide will begin to turn sometime later this year.) Anyway, Katie’s comment:

Humans by and large are moved toward growth and expansion by trauma. What is more outwardly traumatic than the world we live in today? This overtly corrupt world is helping to open the eyes of many, readying them for connection with their own inner Source and power.  And help is always readily available on the inner planes. Would as many be waking up if the Enlightened Ones were softening the blows?–Katie

I like to call this growth and expansion “The Big Test” that each individual is going through.The Big Test involves discovering for yourself what you’re truly capable of, getting in touch with your inner power by applying it daily, getting your manipulated human mind (brainwashed by years of disempowering messages such as, “You’re not good enough,” “You’re incapable,” “Who do you think you are, anyway?” etc.) to accept that you really are a powerful, worthy and wonderful being.. particularly when you’re fulfilling your higher purpose and contributing to the creation of the Golden Age for all. (We all like to have evidence and results to back things up, you know…)

So…what motivates personal growth and expansion more than challenge, hardship, and even trauma? From my own personal experience, I can definitely say that the close-to-traumatic events in my life (beginning about 10 years ago) motivated my transformation and change the most. The difference now is, I notice that there are many more people (even in my own circle of friends) experiencing personal challenges than there were about ten years ago.

Here’s a important point to take from this blog post: What made those events “close-to-trauamtic” (and not truly traumatic) was the knowing I had (communicated to me by the Counsel of Light) that there was a divine reason I was in the deep doo-doo, that there wasn’t anything wrong with me, that I was in this because of the things that were right about me, and that my experience would later help many others. Getting through my experience transformed, strengthened and uplifted by the challenging events rather than being crushed by them and sharing that experience was going to help others. (This is the story my memoir tells…about my Big Test.)

Anyway, the blog post where I found Katie’s comment claimed that the Enlightened Ones/Angels/ETs have ascended and have now actually abandoned us: Just look all around you, nothing’s happening; we’re left alone. But this viewpoint isn’t true at all.

It may appear that way, but that’s because it’s difficult for the Enlightened Ones/Angels/ETs to get through to the consciousness of the vast majority of people on this planet.

The way the “Angels” help you is to guide you–through your inner guidance and “signs” they give you that some think are signs from “God” or the “Universe.”  They “rescue us” by guiding us, and this is how the transformation will manifest.

Transformation is likely to occur when your inner pain and need for change becomes greater than the discomfort you feel when you step outside your comfort zone. Pain and anguish are the ultimate motivators.

Emotional pain and confusion is what had me search for answers years ago…and I was led to the Counsel of Light, who were already waiting for me. They guided me through several channeled messages (received through a Channel) and I followed through with my guidance for years. Now I can understand this Ascension process, and the importance of reconnecting with your higher self and following through with your inner guidance such that you fulfill your higher purpose. I know that more people will awaken, and the way that will happen is by things getting even worse before they get better.

But no matter how crazy things get in your life, try to view it from this perspective: The chaos isn’t happening because there’s something wrong with you, but that you are going through a big test that will lead to your upliftment and the Golden Age in the not-too-distant future. Viewing it this way will make it a lot easier to get through.

I know that David Wilcock and many others have also spoken about the importance of alleviating the fears of those who don’t know what’s going on (your neighbors, family and friends) when some challenging events (such as the mass arrests of some elite) occur in the “near future.” Understanding better what’s going on will help people make it through the hard times with much more grace and ease.

Higher Purpose – Do Your Daily Struggles Block Your Higher Purpose?

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedin

Do you feel that your daily struggles prevent you from fulfilling your higher purpose? In this post, I expand a bit further on the topic of higher purpose, inspired by a reader’s comment from my last post. Jonas wrote,

“My question is, I feel like my belief that I have a higher purpose places me in a position where I feel like I should back away from all my daily struggles and try “winging it”; as in listening to my inner guidance for the next step in life after having dropped major parts of my life (friends/family/job/living place) as a cause of this belief. Should I not be backing away from my struggles? Sometimes I feel like my struggles are distracting me from my higher self/purpose, yet this seems potentially like an excuse to “escape” the problems. Could I develop a greater connection to my higher self if I stopped the daily struggles/demands and solely focused on my inner development (as uncertain as the future may then be) or is it better for my growth to let the time come when my higher self gets through to me in spite (or because) of my daily struggles? Any advice or thoughts?”

What a great question! I totally get where he’s coming from and am reminded of the time several years ago when I was struggling to begin my higher purpose. I wanted to know what my higher purpose was, and I wanted to begin it, NOW! (That’s becasue my life was really painful back then. Some weird events had turned my life into a painful mess, and I just knew that the faster I was doing my higher purpose, the sooner my life would get back in order…A great motivator, by the way.)

The first thing the Counsel of Light had me do was develop a deeper, clearer relationship with my higher self. The Counsel of Light knew my life situation (a family, not a lot of free time, two little kids) so they asked me to spend about 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes before I went to bed in meditation, and to write for a few minutes whenever I had the chance.

They called this time in meditation cultivating the “vertical connection,” the connection with my higher self. I did not have a whole lot of time to focus on this vertical connection (my inner development) as I had family responsibilities while going through a personal crisis. In fact, most days a 10-15 minute meditation in bed is all I actually accomplished towards this vertical connection.

Then some months later the Counsel of Light talked to me about developing the “horizontal connection”–the connection you have in the real world. This was about bringing your higher self into the real world through your actions, attitude, speaking, and so on. So…there’s the vertical connection and the horizontal connection.

No one can say that the vertical connection is more important than the horizontal connection, or that the horizontal connection is more important. I have found that both are equally important.  And in fact, I discovered that it’s when I took action in the real world that I made the fastest spiritual progress. It’s when I worked the muscles of the horizontal connection that my confidence in my higher self (the vertical connection) grew the most.

Futhermore, following through with your inner guidance in the real world should help you resolve your daily struggles. It should help you get through your struggles successfully by finding new solutions to them. I still experience daily struggles, but I see them in a totally different light now. I don’t view them as obstacles to my goals anymore but rather as opportunities in disguise, placed there by divine design. In fact, the Counsel of Light said that going through the situation rather than trying to get out of it is a way to get you further than you ever thought possible. So rather than backing away from or trying to escape the struggles of daily life, accept them and ask how you can move things forward.

Remember that you don’t know what your higher purpose is. Nobody knows. I wrote in my last post that your higher purpose will likely be in an field you’re passionate about, but that doesn’t mean you have to be an expert in that field right now.

For example, I was not trained to be a writer; I knew I wasn’t any good, anyway. And I certainly wasn’t confident as a writer when I was told by the Counsel of Light that I would write books. However, the Counsel of Light “eased” me into this undertaking by telling me that I would write “children’s books.” (Children’s books…not such a bid deal. I think I could do it I thought back then…)

However…over time I developed the capacity to write by listening within, writing it down, and spending many, many hours working on my writing, getting feedback, etc. And once I was on a roll, the so-called “children’s books” became books for adults.

So with regard to the question of focusing on your inner development (the “vertical” connection), you really don’t need a lot of time out of your day to do that. Fifteen minutes a day in the morning, fifteen at night, and paying attention to your sacred space several times a day (which “preps” you to watch for your inner guidance) is what you need. And then what you really need to do is to implement (follow through promplty and consistently) in the real world (the “horizontal” conenction) for maximum growth and forward movement.

In summary, it’s the integration of the vertical connection with the horizontal connection that allows for the fastest personal and spiritual development.

Higher Purpose – Is Your Higher Purpose Taking Longer Than You’d Like?

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedin

Have you been keeping up with all that’s being reported lately in the online alternative press? A reader emailed me, asking for my feedback on some recent topics he’s come across. For example, he wanted my feedback on David Wilcock’s work at DivineCosmos.com, specifically on the recent articles David has written on global financial tyranny (and those responsible for it).

I have read parts of David Wilcock’s articles on global financial tyranny. I’ve also recently heard about the rumors of arrests of now over 300 bank CEOs, all around the world. There’s even a rumor that billionaire Bill Gates himself has been arrested. (Interestingly, Dr. Joseph Mercola wrote an article on Bill Gates just this past week, titled, Bill Gates: One of the World’s Most Destructive DoGooders?)

Besides these rumors, there’s a lot of corruption being exposed on the Internet in all areas of life. The way I see it, the mainstream is beginning to realize that the things we were led to believe were true, in many cases are not true. (And often I’m not surprised.)

Of course it’s a good idea to keep yourself informed, to raise your awareness about what’s going on. But at the same time, be careful not to get too caught up in distractions so that your own higher purpose suffers. My contribution at this time is to help people learn how to reconnect to their higher self such that they fulfill their unique contribution. You won’t see me posting much about solar flares, crop circles, alien sightings, financial markets and politics in this blog–because these topics are not relevant to reconnecting with your higher self and following your inner guidance. (Those topics would be relevant to you if your higher purpose is to contribute to and expand upon them.)

The way I see it, each and every one of us has a specific, unique gift that we are to share (with our family, community and world) and sharing that gift should be our priority. Neither you nor I can do much about the Banker arrests as neither of us are directly involved in that project. There are others who are directly involved and it is their job. Your primary focus is to fulfill your own higher purpose. (Which is what causes the great shift in your consciousness and contributes to The Great Shift in the world.)

Remember that only your higher self would know what that purpose would be, and you learn your higher purpose by following through with your inner guidance promptly and consistently.

So don’t get caught up in all these distractions but rather, use your time wisely by working on your contribution as much as possible by following through with your inner guidance promptly and consistently as well as working on the projects that call to you. Otherwise, you will take longer to fulfill your contribution than you need to. (For example, I could have easily taken longer than three months to write my eBook, but I kept focused daily and stayed away from Internet distractions.) Remember also, your contribution will most likely be in an area you’re passionate about and/or personally involved in.

Having said that, a couple of weeks ago I listened to an interview of a former Navy Seal named Bill Wood (aka Brockbrader) on Wolf Spirit Radio. (I did this while cleaning my house.) During the interview, one of the hosts named White Wolf said something I thought was brilliant. White Wolf explained why the changes that many have been wanting for quite some time are taking so long to come.

“No matter how bad your life seems to be, you’re walking in that negativity for a reason. You are putting yourself up against a wall for a reason… And the reason is to show you that you don’t want that anymore. But you understand that the Matrix makes you lazy. The energy Matrix of this prison that we are all involved in makes you lazy, makes you listless. And so it takes great adverse conditions to force us into proactivity.”–quote posted on Facebook, taken from a Wolf Spirit Radio interview, 2/23/2012 part 2, spoken by White Wolf.

I understand his point. It took me many months to “get the ball rolling” with my own higher purpose. And I understand why my life circumstances were as difficult as they were. If things had been easy, I would have remained stuck in my comfort zone. I also know I would have never done the things I have done the last several years if I wasn’t up against a wall.

Furthermore, I saw the crazy, confusing events in my life as catalysts that were designed to teach me how to help humanity with the transformation and shift in consciousness that’s occurring right now. If I had viewed them any less than that, I’m not so sure I would have done as well.

What is needed right now is the individual reconnecting to his or her higher self. Then from that place of inner power, you make choices about what you do or do not want to participate in, whether you want to read some material or belong to some group–or not. When your own individual inner guidance system is strengthened, you can make your choices based on your direct connection with Source, rather than on conventional wisdom. (I include in this category New Age conventional wisdom, Christian conventional wisdom, Buddhist, Kabbala, etc.–even if it differs from mainstream conventional wisdom.)
The truth is, most people on this planet are not there yet. (And I m not surprised the person wanting my feedback on these “off” topics has expressed to me his disappointment about not yet experiencing a lot of synchronicities around his own higher purpose. Maybe part of the reason is he’s too distracted?

Follow Your Inner Guidance to Save Money, Time and Energy

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedin

Did you know that you can save money, time and energy by following your inner guidance? If the answer is yes, are you taking full advantage of it? In my last blog post, a reader named Charli (who’s been reading my articles for a while now) wrote in the comment section of this blog that following the promptings of her higher self has “always saved her time, or money, or energy.” I copied and pasted her comment below:

“I have found that small miracles happen to me so often now that I don’t write them down anymore.  I follow the promptings I get and within minutes or the next day, something happens that just blesses what I followed.  Things like, changing  an appointment, and then someone calls and invites me to a lecture I want to hear at the time the appointment WAS.   Or getting the prompting to stop by the mall (to which I haven’t been in months) and what I needed just “happened” to be on sale.   Following promptings from my higher self have always saved me time, or money or energy.”–comment from Charli

I love this comment from Charli because it confirms what I have experienced for years. In fact, I had written in my memoir (which was printed near the end of 2007) that whenever I needed something to further my purpose, I would receive it, usually within 24 hours of becoming aware of what it was that I needed next. This happened daily, and I became used to it–as if this is how life was supposed to be like.

And the following example shows that it still is that way: Just last week I was prompted to go to Marshall’s while I was food shopping at Trader Joe’s nearby. I found the perfect volleyball shorts for my younger daughter–at less than half the regular price. (Volleyball shorts are almost never found on sale, and Marshall’s rarely, if ever, carries volleyball shorts. But my inner guidance told me to go look for volleyball shorts!) The bonus is that my daughter loves them, too.

When you’re doing your higher purpose the favorable synchronicities will happen daily, and even more than once a day.

Sometimes they’re big synchronicities, sometimes they’re amazing, and sometimes they’re small. And if you haven’t yet done so, after you read this short post, read my last blog post about some pretty amazing synchronicities that happened to a friend of mine when he followed through with his inner guidance. I can’t think of a better way for the Universe to show you that you really are on the right path than to bless you daily, can you?

Now, when you get the “ball rolling” with reconnecting with your higher self and following through with your inner guidance, it does not mean that your life will all of a sudden become easy, or that you’ve arrived and are “done.” Rather, what I have experienced is that it will become easier to go forward in your life, to grow, and to fulfill your higher purpose—which is what will help create the Golden Age for yourself and for your community. In conclusion, it’s absolutely true … following your inner guidance helps save you money, time and energy.

An Inner Guidance Example: A Friend Follows Through With His Inner Guidance

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedin

Have you ever followed through with your inner guidance and something amazing happened as a result? In my last blog post I promised to share what happened to a friend of mine within a month of reading my first book, What Everyone Believed: A Memoir of Intuition and Awakening. I want to share this example with you to demonstrate the power of learning by example, the power of the “copy-cat” approach–as opposed to the learning of theory. But first, let me summarize the how-to (the method) for connecting and integrating with your higher self:

How To Connect With Your Higher Self

  1. Cultivate a relationship with your higher self (using quiet time in contemplation, daily meditation, taking a minute or two to “check in,” to focus on your sacred space several times a day)
  2. Learn to recognize and distinguish your inner guidance from your mental conditionings, your wants and outside influences
  3. Ask your higher self for guidance (e.g. ask specific questions, ask for clear guidance)
  4. Follow through on the guidance promptly and consistently (this part might require a bit of faith and courage at first)
  5. See what happens as a result, and begin to put the “puzzle pieces” together one by one

Don’t worry about step number 5 as this “synthesis” is done automatically. (Your mind will get it automatically. You will begin to see the bigger picture automatically.)

By following the steps above, you will discover who you really are and what you’re truly capable of. You will discover your unique contribution, your potential, your unique gift that you are to share with the world. The method described above is the best way to teach yourself, to discover all these things, as well as the best way to do the “emotional clearing” work (“energy clearing” work) that we’re all being asked to do right now as part of the shift in consciousness on this planet.

How long will all this take? That depends on your higher self’s plan. However, it doesn’t have to take long to achieve some results so that you’re encouraged to continue on this path. The following is a real-life example of what happened to a friend of mine within a month of reading my first book, What Everyone Believed: A Memoir of Intuition and Awakening.

A Friend Follows Through With His Inner Guidance

G. is a parent at my younger daughter’s school and works hard as a deck builder for homeowners in Silicon Valley. Years ago, G. had given up on his dream to own a vacation home in the Sierra foothills because he knew he couldn’t afford one. But after reading my book, he planned a camping trip to Bear Valley with his family…and visited a realtor while there.

The realtor informed G.’s family that there weren’t any properties available within their budget. But as they left the realtor’s office, G.’s inner guidance told him to look around on his own. They drove around…and came across a house with a “Sale Pending” sign on the front lawn. G.’s inner guidance told him to get out of the car and look around. He listened, even though it didn’t make any sense to him.

The property seemed perfect, everything G. and his family could have hoped for. G. knocked on the door and introduced himself to the owner, who welcomed them in and explained that despite what the sign said, the house was up for sale again. He explained that the deal had fallen through earlier that day, which put him in a terrible bind. (He had just bought a house in Oregon.) “Make me an offer,” he told G.

G. and his wife made an offer that was considerably below the owner’s asking price. “I can’t give you what you want for this house,” G. told the owner, “but I can give you my word I’m good for this much.”

The owner accepted G.’s offer. The following week G. and his wife found a mortgage with good terms. Then while working on a deck for a client, G. was offered a Viking stove, dishes, pots and pans, appliances, almost everything he needed to furnish his new kitchen…because he happened to mention that he had just bought a new vacation home. (And G.’s client just happened to be remodeling her kitchen at the time.) Then a friend of G.’s called to say that he was moving and needed to sell his furniture. So G. was able to furnish most of his vacation home for about five hundred dollars.

All this happened within one month of reading my book. G. told me that he attributes everything that happened to his feeling “in tune with himself” after reading my memoir.

This wonderful example happened a few years ago, but I spoke to G. about a month ago and he and his family are doing well…and enjoying their vacation home in the Sierras.

As you begin to see the results from following through with your own inner guidance (favorable synchronicities, new insights, “signs” from the universe, a sense of greater cooperation in life, etc.), your confidence and trust in your higher self (and in divine plan) will grow. It will continue to grow until you begin to trust your higher self more than anything or anyone outside of yourself. Having this kind of trust in your higher self will help you make huge strides in your personal development and in your unique contribution to your family and your community–which will help bring about the “Golden Age” much more quickly. This is the Divine Plan.

Look, your higher self wants you to learn to trust your inner guidance so that you fulfill your higher purpose here, so that you fulfill your potential. This is why more often than not, you will be richly rewarded when you follow through with your inner guidance. (It motivates you to keep going.) So then…are you finally ready to connect with your higher self and follow through with your inner guidance?
