Inner Guidance – The Win-Win-Win of Following Your Inner Guidance

A recent blog post of a spiritual blogger named Visionkeeper advised people to take some time out to go within and connect with who they really are. She acknowledged that we each have a unique purpose for being here at this time, and it’s important that we stop all the distractions and go within, go into nature, so that we can hear ourselves clearly and discover why we are here. She also mentioned that we all share a common purpose of learning to love and live life for others, not for ourselves. Other spiritual teachers have also proposed that lightworkers hold a philosophy of “service to others,” rather than “service to self.”

I like most of what she said, but the last idea isn’t very accurate and in fact, the situation is actually far more favorable than she thinks. Because the truth is, when you follow your inner guidance, others will benefit, but so will you. When you follow your inner guidance, you will help bring about the highest good of all, a win-win-win situation for everyone and everything involved. As long as you are clear that you’re following your inner guidance you don’t have to worry if you’re pursuing a path that appears to be service-to-self from the point of view of limited consciousness. (And of course we do need to take care of ourselves, or else we can’t really take care of others.) I will now explain how I came to understand this win-win-win principle.

In 2003 and 2004 when I was learning about Interconnectedness and about how that works, I came to understand that when you have the confidence to follow through with your inner guidance and then happen to benefit as a result of doing so, so does everyone else who is involved, even if it’s not always immediately apparent. (The benefit can be in the form of a favorable synchronicity, a new insight, receiving what you need to forward your higher life purpose, or some other form of universal cooperation.)

I happened to learn this because after following my inner guidance, I received what I needed to help me fulfill my higher purpose, and the people who offered me what I needed made a point of telling me how they had also benefited. This happened a few times in a row, so I knew it was more than just coincidence. (I had discovered by then that when something different or unusual happens twice or three times in a row, that it’s a sign from the Universe and that I needed to pay attention to what was going on and make note of my observations.)

New insights, more flow in your life, amazing synchronicities, and greater universal cooperation are what I consider the results or the “gifts” of following through with your inner guidance. Anyway, I was discovering that when you benefit after following your inner guidance, so will everyone and everything else around you–as everyone and everything else is connected to you through this “field” called Interconnectedness (which I have learned is accessed through your higher self). In other words, if you follow through with your higher self’s guidance, you will co-create win-win-win situations.

I admit this idea isn’t obvious at first but it makes complete sense when you take the time to think about it. If you follow your higher self’s guidance, why wouldn’t the result be for the highest good of all? Especially since your higher self is your access point to the Universe, to Interconnectedness, to Source, to Divine Plan. It seems unlikely that by following divine plan, someone or something would not benefit in some significant way.

It’s also unlikely that if one part of the Universe doesn’t benefit, other parts would. I will explain with a real-life “opposite” example.

A few years ago, I went to a Cornell alumni lecture on renewable energy. One of the speakers lectured on the benefits of producing corn for ethanol production.

Well, I happen to know that Cornell University is the home of a leading researcher in agriculture named David Pimentel, whose studies have shown that the net energy gained from the production of ethanol from corn is negative. This means that more energy is required to produce the ethanol than what we’re able to yield from it.

Anyway, the speaker was saying that if you put a cattle factory next to the ethanol distillation facility and you get the cows to eat the by-product of the ethanol production(the processed corn waste), this will increase the net energy yield, making the scenario much more favorable.

However…what about the Interconnectedness idea? Is corn ethanol a win-win-win proposal? Well, I have learned that cows don’t do all that well eating grains. With the corn by-product they would only get sicker and require even more antibiotics–which can’t be good for the cows, it can’t be good for the humans who eat the cows, and it also can’t be good for the farmers who have to buy more antibiotics to inject into their cows. (A lose-lose-lose proposal, except of course as a lesson in experience–but when are we going to be done with learning through suffering? Although the corn grower and ethanol producer appear to benefit from government subsidies that come from your tax dollars, it’s only in the short term illusion.)

And the clincher is that corn-based ethanol has a higher burden on the environment  and human https://ampills.com/ health than we thought it did, higher than even petroleum and diesel, according to a study released by the EPA about 2 years ago. (Cleaner air was the original argument used to promote the corn-to-ethanol idea.) So not only does growing corn for ethanol raise the price of food, researchers found that the total environmental and health costs for ethanol were greater than those for petroleum! (In 1993-94 I wrote a master’s thesis on the external costs of fuels and energy systems. The corn-for-fuel idea didn’t appeal to me then, either.)

So with regard to the environment, the people in our lives, and our quality of life (in truth, every single aspect of our lives), it’s time to follow through with our inner guidance and create win-win-win situations for everyone and everything–now that we know that this is possible. We can stop bothering with  “service to self” vs. “service to others” and focus on reconnecting within.

Drake and the 2012 Scenarios – What To Believe?

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedin

I listened to a couple interviews of “Drake” over the weekend where he explained how freedom will be returned to the people of the United States (and the world), with the cooperation of the country’s military, Native American organizations, as well as other freedom-inspired groups. The events that are being planned over the next couple of months (which include the arrests of certain elite who have committed crimes against the population) will no doubt be a shock to many, he explained. However, the changes in society and in the economy that will be implemented will be, in the longer term, for the greater good of all. (Googling Drake + Deatra as well as Drake + David Wilcock is a good place to start for learning more about this development.)

I’ve also read blog posts from light-workers who are not on the same page with Drake. One reason for this may be that the Drake plan does not resemble the possible scenarios proposed by certain Channels (which often include Disclosure, reunion with our space brothers and sisters, as well as getting their cool technology). It seems–at least to me–that if things don’t go according to some predicted scenario, certain lightworkers won’t be happy.

There’s also evidence that many lightworkers are perplexed right now. Just today I read a blog post of Visionkeeper, who was wondering whether lightworkers are even going in the right direction. From the comments and emails she has been getting on her blog, people are “very discouraged right now, they feel let down and manipulated yet again.” She acknowledges that many people want proof that things are going in the right direction, but asks them to continue to believe with love in their hearts, without proof. She also concludes that we are seriously being tested.

Well, I’m certain that the changes will not happen according to anyone’s predicted scenario. No one knows how this time of change will play out, not even Jesus himself. I think it’s best to let go of the addiction to having to know beforehand how it will all manifest and keep trusting in yourself and in the Divine Plan.

I understand that many people, including many lightworkers, are perplexed about who to listen to, who to believe these days but I must say this is exactly the right place to be. Because a big part of the problem here has to do with looking to others for what to do or believe.

Your Pain: The Big Test

The Big Test is not about believing in some channeling or some “Ascension scenario.” It’s all about believing in yourself. It’s about being deeply connected with your higher self and this deep connection with yourself is what will get you through these challenging times. It’s about you being sovereign and whole. Because when you connect deeply with your higher self and follow through with your guidance you get to a point where you trust in yourself and in the divine plan–not in some Channel or some proposed scenario. Trusting yourself rather than some Channel or predicted scenario is part of the Big Test.

The problem as I see it is this: 1. Relying on others (Channels, gurus, and others) for what to believe and 2. There were (and still are) too many people channeling prophesies that never happened–which has disappointed many. (Well, if you had done your inner and outer work you would have understood why the predictions that have been channeled could not have possibly been a part of Divine Plan. I understand from some compelling firsthand experiences that any scenario that even hinted of rescue would not be a part of Divine Plan.)

Your Proof: Feedback From the Universe

The manual for how to successfully get through this difficult time of change is within you, but this means reconnecting with your higher self and developing enough confidence in that connection so that you follow through with your inner guidance even if it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable…because this is when you will receive feedback from the Universe (that will motivate you to go on).

You need to reconnect with your higher self and follow through with your individual inner guidance promptly and consistently, because this is when you will receive regular feedback–in the form of favorable synchronicities, new insights, more flow, and greater universal cooperation in your life–which will help you recognize that you’re definitely on the right track. (Re: this reconnecting process, there are a couple of things that usually trip people up, and I go into these issues in my 2 books and on my blog).

It is best not have any expectations about 2012 prophesies or “scenarios.” The divine plan will not go according to some person’s channeling or understanding. There will no doubt be surprises. I would caution even lightworkers to let go of their preconceived notions of how this “ascension” is to play out. Everyone is to connect within and follow their own inner guidance. Connect within and become a sovereign being (with direct access to Source) and you will fulfill your part in the divine plan.

It is interesting that although the Drake plan may appear to be highly organized, Drake says there is no parent organization or leader behind it. (I can definitely get that…)

I propose that the following is the missing piece right now: Reconnecting with your higher self and developing enough confidence in that connection so that you follow through with your inner guidance promptly and consistently even when it’s inconvenient or places you outside your comfort zone. By doing this, you will experience the synchronicities and insights and gain the bigger picture understanding and confidence in your inner self that will have you stop listening to others for guidance on what to do–even your most cherished guru or “sacred” book–because you will have proven to yourself that you have direct connection to Source. (Which is, as I have already mentioned, the Big Test.)

Spiritual Awakening Symptoms – Essential Signs of Spiritual Awakening

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedin

A recent blog post on spiritual awakening symptoms claims that symptoms of spiritual awakening will intensify and accelerate this year as Ascension draws near and that humanity will continue to be thrown temporarily out of balance.

James Tyberonn states that the spiritual awakening symptoms predicted to increase this year include, “mood swings, dizziness, insomnia, anxiety, lethargy, apathy and fatigue.” Other spiritual teachers have their own lists of symptoms, which may include headaches and other body aches and pains, emotional rollercoaster rides, angry outbursts, sweating, changes in energy levels, sleep patterns, jobs, and relationships, and gaining or losing weight. (All this doesn’t sound like a lot of fun.)

James Tyberonn channels,

“We have told you that the world remakes itself now and whether or not humanity in micro or macro is supportive of expansive change or against it, whether it is understood by mankind en masse or not, it is truly a moot point as the inertia of transition speeds into reality more quickly today than it did yesterday on the linear and Omni-Earth….Each advancing energy will require physical, emotional and mental adjustment to the higher frequencies downloaded.”– Archangel Metatron channeled through James Tyberonn.

In other words, we will need to respond to and adjust to each event or challenge that comes up in our life. (This is how I feel about the state of my life right now: I am making an effort to respond to each challenge that comes up, despite the challenges showing up one right after the other.)

Archangel Metatron encourages,

“Do not despair, for the symptoms will pass quickly, and the benefits are a stronger ‘you’.”– Archangel Metatron channeled through James Tyberonn.

I do agree that those symptoms actually catalyze our personal growth–because when you’re experiencing unpleasant symptoms, you are more motivated to take action and to follow your inner guidance. However, the symptoms will not pass by quickly all on their own. You absolutely will need to be proactive about each one of your symptoms.

Sometimes I see people on Facebook asking about their Ascension symptoms–e.g. “Should I do something about this ache and that pain or are they Ascension symptoms?” (As if one or the other condition were true, but not both.) But following your inner guidance and being proactive is the best way to deal with any of your awakening symptoms, be they spiritual or physical.

An example: You may find that your mysterious aches, pains and skin issues disappear when you eliminate gluten and dairy from your diet. A colleague of mine named Shasta Tierra (a licensed acupuncturist in San Jose, CA) is teaching Natural Health Makeover classes that have her clients totally eliminate gluten, dairy and GMO foods from their diet, for a period of 6 weeks. (GMO foods should be eliminated completely.)

People who have taken this class have had pains in their arms, swelling in their feet, skin irritations and back pains disappear within several days of following the healthy diet she recommends. One lady who could not sit for more than 45 minutes without experiencing excruciating back pain found herself sitting at work all morning without having to get up and stretch! But when she went back to her normal diet, her back pain came back in a couple of days! (Gluten and dairy cause inflammation in the body and GMOs damage the liver and kidneys–important organs of detoxification. And remember that what affects your body also affects your mind…)

We are not supposed to ignore these so-called Awakening Symptoms. Rather, when we take the steps to be proactive and follow our inner guidance with regard to our symptoms, that’s when we have our Awakenings!

Anyway, I have my own list of what I understand to be essential and relevant signs and symptoms of spiritual awakening. The following is a list of nine “symptoms” I  experienced during my process of awakening:

  1. Painful life changes you can’t explain or know how you’ll get through. (This helps motivate you to look deep within for the answers. Because that’s where the guidance that will actually place you squarely on the path of your awakening is.)
  2. Synchronicities that are meaningful to you. (These help point you in the right direction on your path or help spark an important new insight.)
  3. Intense inner contemplation including questioning and/or reexamining of beliefs and events, especially at 3 or 4 in the morning. (This is often triggered by happenings or events you can’t explain using your current belief system or knowledge.)
  4. Receiving “secret messages” from people who may or may not be aware that they’re relaying special messages to you. (Spirit works in interesting ways.)
  5. Having the same thing (especially something that’s unusual) happen to you 2 or 3 times in a relatively short period of time, like, say, 24 hours.  (This assures that you actually notice what your higher self wants you to notice.)
  6. Waking up in the middle of the night feeling intense confusion. (This means your beliefs and the foundation they are based on are being adjusted. Before you become clear and solid in your new awakened state, you will no doubt find yourself mucking through a period of deep confusion.)
  7. Intense, vivid dreams that seem to point you in a certain direction. (The further along in the process you are, the clearer your dreams will be and the more your dreams will help guide you in your daily life. The dreams will be in metaphor form, often in metaphors that make sense to you.)
  8. Favorable synchronicities that happen regularly. (You can expect these to occur after you regularly follow through with your inner guidance.)
  9. Finding yourself laughing more often. Sometimes you will wake up in the middle of the night, in pops a new, freeing insight about one of your beliefs or an event from your past, and then you laugh your head off. Don’t worry about this. It just shows that your higher self has a good sense of humor. (Or, you have just had a really good edible from a website like https://buymyweedonline.net/edibles/!)

Experiencing any (or all) of these signs means that you are deep into your spiritual awakening and ascension process.

Remember, the fast track to spiritual awakening does not depend on how much fame or fortune you possess, or on how many advanced degrees you have, but on whether you’re willing to (temporarily) forgo your comfort zones for the noble purpose of personal and spiritual growth.

Your individual growth is of utmost importance right now, and the signs and symptoms you experience aren’t just signs or symptoms. They are actually catalysts designed to assist you in your spiritual awakening process.

The Great Shift in Consciousness and the Light Vs Dark Game

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedin

When you experience the Great Shift in Consciousness firsthand, part of what will shift in you is your perception of the battle between the Dark and the Light. You will begin to perceive it as more of a game. (And it’s at that point that “The Game” finally begins to change.) But before I discuss more of this Light vs. Dark Game, I need to bring up a post I read earlier this week on another blog.

The blogger gave an “energy summary report” for the first 3 months of 2012. Basically, she wrote that because lightworkers are taking positive steps forward, there’s lots more negativity that will be unleashed on them by “Team Dark” in the remaining months of 2012. Because it’s about the final battle for humanity and the Earth, there will be more attacks aimed specifically at lightworkers, she writes. The best way the “Team Dark” derails lightworkers from their purpose is to place obstacles in front of them in the form of negative people in their close environment. She then goes on to give an example of neighbors arguing outside her home into the night one night in the month of March. (I have also been saying that things will get worse before they get better–but for different reasons and using different terminology.)

I understand where she’s coming from because I used to think those things as well. I used to think that some people close to me were being unduly influenced by “Team Dark.” (What a frightening position to take on, and besides, it keeps the battle going!)

But then after dealing with those same people by following through with my higher self’s guidance rather than my normal approach (of avoidance, annoyance, even trying to justify myself using new age logic, whatever…), I had some truly amazing experiences that proved to me beyond a doubt that “Team Dark” is actually catalyzing for me the fastest way to my growth and expansion (i.e. Ascension and shift in consciousness.)

I remember the day this became so clear to me; it was a warm Spring day in 2004. I remember sitting down on the lawn of Morgan Hill High School after my older daughter’s swim meet (she was 9 yrs. old at the time) and crying. My capricious daughter and her equally unpredictable Dad had already left the meet, people were packing up and leaving the grounds and all I could do was just sit there and cry.

I will not share the event here because it will almost take a book to explain it. (How do you explain the depth of an epiphany, the emotions, the relationships, the before and after situation so that it makes a real impact for the reader…in a few paragraphs?) In fact, my first editor (a top-rate editor of spiritual books) crossed out the pages in my memoir where I wrote about this event because I don’t think it fit into her belief system. (Needless to say, I had no choice but to get myself new editors after that.)

Anyway, my epiphany showed me that the “difficult” people in my life were helping me fulfill my higher purpose by putting me through challenging situations that would teach me amazing things about truth, about unconditional love and about the deeper story of the Dark vs. the Light on this planet.

Furthermore, this event was doubly meaningful to me because a couple years earlier, I had been asked by the Counsel of Light to share what I would learn about how life on this planet really works and now with this epiphany, I had another significant and amazing thing to share, something original that was more than just a repeat of what’s currently available in the world! Anyway, that one event changed the way I viewed and interacted with the difficult people in my life forever. (Which allowed for more cooperation, more grace and ease, and more transformation.)

Growth and expansion (“ascension”) is possible when you ask your higher self for guidance regarding the challenging situation you’re in, muster up enough courage and confidence in the guidance to follow through with it promptly and consistently, and then notice the amazing things that happen and the insights you receive as a result of your following through. (My “how-to” eBook on 2012 helps activate this process in you quite quickly.)

I mean, you can even get to a point where you can have fun with this “dark” vs. “light” gig, you can begin to see it as sort of a game. And when you have learned how to play the game (“the game of duality,” as it’s sometimes called), you have become the master of your life.

At that point, The Game’s pretty much over…and it’s time for a new kind of Game. (One that fits into the Golden Age.)

Team Dark catalyzes events that we are meant to learn incredible things from. It’s much more empowering to view it this way than to see it as an unending battle. (Aside from the fact that it’s true that it’s a temporary situation we chose for our own personal growth.)

We’re wondering why nothing we want is happening around us…But this is the piece that’s missing in many people’s experiences. The faster we get this piece, the faster the Great Shift in Consciousness and the changes we all want will manifest.
