All the World is Your Stage

Dynamic Image from Formilab's Earth and Moon Viewer

I received a vision for 2007. It was prompted by a question from a friend about some unusual feelings and perceptions that she's been having in the past few weeks. She's convinced that something has changed. Rather, she's convinced that SHE has changed. I asked about it in my morning "connecting" time and it inspired a vision of the changes that are occurring for everyone now and throughout the New Year.

For those people who have actually asked for what they want, or prayed to "be the change" in this world, well... it's here. Sometimes we ask for things and then forget that we asked. Humans are kind of funny that way. Or we think it's going to show up and look like something else... something that we're already familiar with, so we're not in the frame of mind to embrace something truly new. If something different or unusual is occurring in your perceptions of self and other, make sure you check in with your self for reminders about those "little" prayers that you sent out a while back. The main thrust of this vision is to acknowledge our recent intentions as well as to show us how our view of reality and identity is changing. For me, these messages come in feeling pictures, and I shall do my best to translate this to words.

Imagine that you suddenly wake up in the "green room" backstage. First of all, you might wonder how you got there. You might also wonder what might be expected of you as you wait "backstage". Sure, you've done shows before, but wait... something has changed. This time you have no idea what the program is about, who is present, and what your part in it is. At this point, you might feel an odd mixture of panic and excitement, nausea and glee. Nothing feels the same as before, and yet if you are completely honest with yourself, you would say that you are feeling more power; more confidence; and more peace within yourself - in spite of what the evening news says you should feel. What on Earth is happening?

No time for analysis. You've just received the knock and your call to the stage. Why hasn't anyone supplied you with the script? Where will you stand or move on stage? Will you be singing that old song... now just what was that old song? The words and the tune are gone. Good god, whatever will they expect of you? The only self you've ever known seems to be the self you've been. If that self is not showing up like before, what happens now?

Indeed.
What happens now.
You tell us.
That's the change.
The world will change because you are demonstrating the change.
Yes. You are that powerful.
All you have to be is YOU.

It seems the biggest obstacle we have to achieving all that we choose in our lives is the belief that it is not possible and that somehow we don't have what we need to accomplish it anyway, so why even begin? Now that's what I call an old script.

Not all of us will react the same to these profound shifts and changes in consciousness. Some people may go out onto that stage and freeze because no one is feeding them their lines; no one is telling them what to wear, how to walk, where to sit, how much they'll be paid, and just generally how they fit into the show. Not to worry though, they will benefit by witnessing another kind of folk who will respond to these changes quite differently. In the past, this category of people might have been referred to as "unusual" and "sensitive" - characterized by their overwhelming sense of "not fitting in". It is this group who will seem to come alive, thrilled at all of the endless possibilities in what they choose to bring to the stage. They will thrive in this climate of cosmic improvisation. In other words, a sense of relief will come over them and finally, oh finally, life will begin to make sense. What a concept... permission to be who you really are! Can you imagine owning a new-found power and confidence that just pours out so naturally that you find yourself enjoying your-Self just as much as everyone around you? No rehearsals required!

All of us may walk out onto that stage at some point and begin to hear the echoes of all the shows that came before. In a moment of fear or desperation, we may grab onto one of those echoey "loops" and allow ourselves to act out an "old show" - simply because that's what we're familiar with. That's okay. You'll catch yourself soon enough. After awhile it just won't feel right to you or to others around you to stay stuck in the past. No need to punish or judge yourself about it. It happens. So what? Take your time. You can be comforted in the fact that there truly is enough of an "audience" now on this planet that is always rooting for you to find and be YOU... because after all, they know first hand that it's the best and most inspiring show in town. Be patient with yourself, and know that the cure for anxiety and uncertainty is honesty. Even if you just walk out onto that stage and say, "I'm afraid"; or "I honestly don't know what will come through me"; or "I am open to knowing and expressing this True Self but I'm not sure how it's done"; in your willingness to be truthful, you have instantaneously opened the door for inspiration. And "It" will find entry into your voice, your hands, your legs, your fingers, your heart. You'll know what to do, what to say, what to wear - even what to eat! And it is coming from the spontaneous Wisdom of Life available to all. No more scripts!

So all of this to say, don't be surprised when you actually do receive what you've asked for. If you've asked for "world peace", then you will be given the opportunity to demonstrate "peace" on your stage. If you've asked for more opportunities to be creative and spontaneous, then you go right ahead. Show us your originality! If you've asked for the opportunity to be who you really are, why not just go out onto that stage and let it happen? Afraid you'll look like a fool? Get over it. Once you get past the initial jitters, "It" just flows. Any experienced artist will tell you this. So don't let fear stop you. Imagine how many other people you could be inspiring to be peace; to be creativity; to be beauty; to be grace; to be honesty; to be love in the world... because that's what you are. And that's what I call a heavenly show!

I imagine one day in the not-too-distant-future we'll find ourselves reflecting on the "old shows", in complete disbelief that we could have ever gotten trapped into thinking we were not wonderful, powerful, creative, spontaneous, and magical beings simply by being who we are. But I'm sure we won't ramble on about it for too long. We'll be having far too much fun enjoying our "present" stage presence.

A Happy and Blessed New Year to All!

Harmonic Entrainment to the God Frequency

I am currently writing a rather lengthy article on "Harmonic Entrainment to the God Frequency" for submission to a magazine publication in the near future. I made reference to this phrase at the end of one of my previous articles (January '07 publication) and felt a need to elaborate on the topic further in a follow-up article. I wanted to post a few of the themes running throughout this next article here.

The information I receive comes from outside the boundaries of what is already known within my intellect and then I actively translate it. Sometimes I refer to this as "Feminine Wisdom", or being "Informed by Love", or the "Core" of our being. Translation for me occurs in the form of music, lyrics, healing energy, words, and sometimes illustrative charts for the printed page. Some have called this "channeling", and it's OK with me to call it channeling - but secretly I wish I could offer a software upgrade to the collective thinking mind to allow a more relaxed definition of this intuitive activity. We could call it "art" - the more safe and acceptable container for such extra-curricular activities in our culture. Whatever you want to call it is fine with me. Names and labels have no effect on the actual experience of something. Anyhow, I'm sure many of you can relate by having experienced a desperate attempt to translate the essence of something - something that lives beyond words - to something that the rest of us can taste, touch, see, feel or hear. Not always an easy task when the conditioned mind gets in the way.

I keep doing what I'm doing, art and/or channeling, and freely offer what I receive in order to make my contribution to the benevolent shift in consciousness that we are all in the midst of. Some of us are consciously riding this wave and others have chosen to believe in more of the "WYSIWYG" (what you see is what you get) approach to life. There is no right or wrong way. I say that if whatever you are doing is honestly working for you, then there's no need to fix it, right? (Just remember that "honestly" is the operative word here.)

I happened upon "Entrainment to the God Frequency" purely by accident. This was a phrase given to me upon resurfacing from a dream state a few months back. My first memory of feeling entrained in this way was when I was around 10 years old, although at the time I had no name for it. Back then I had this enormous passion to sing but couldn't carry a tune. Literally, any spare moment was dedicated to singing and learning to play the piano. I had no lessons available to me from a professional, so gradually over time I noticed that a Spirit voice coach was teaching me and making suggestions on vocal exercises that always seemed to have built-in life lessons as well. Entrainment occurred when I would land on a note that would take it from "me" singing the note, to something far beyond my concept of me. This was something so beautiful and so loving, and "IT" was singing the note through me. Now you might think, "Oh, how nice." Understand that when I say "beautiful" and "loving"... yes it was that, but then bump that up to the 10th power. In this frequency there is no holding onto any concept of what you have experienced or once believed as "loving" in your everyday life. There isn't even a "you" anymore. I could only hold the note for a moment because the frequency was too gigantic, too much for my body to contain. So my physical body would then convulse in a way, and I would have to weep in order to release what felt like a cosmic truckload of Love that I was convinced had taken a wrong turn into me!

Later I found that this childhood dose had only been the beginning... only a feather touch of the Divine that even at this young age had caused a complete shattering of any newly-formulating idea of who or what I thought I was, or was going to be. I learned pretty early on that resisting this level of Love could feel quite painful. So the "training" over the years, if you will, seemed to be that of stretching to accommodate more and more it and for longer periods of time.

At 10 years of age I was still very much in that wonderfully honest, innocent, feeling place in life. I did mention the phenomenon to my mother at one point, and let's just suffice it to say that after that I never mentioned it again. And this was a religious woman! Sadly, I learned very quickly not to speak of such things out loud to others. So I kept my random ecstatic sound experiences to myself. It came in other ways too, but we'll stick with the voice-oriented phenomenon for this post. I can also recall very long dry spells from this ecstasy throughout my life, but I never forgot that beacon of frequency - that marker of all markers for Love. Why? Because I had felt it in my physical body. It was embedded in me there. All of this made for a difficult life in many ways - forgetting that frequency (which translates to entrainment to the conditioned view), remembering (entrainment to God), and forgetting again - but thankfully that frequency never forgot me. Just when I would lose all hope and give voice to my despair, crying out, begging for something greater to deliver me from the vice I had placed myself within, "IT" would return.

So it was years later I discovered that this "Entrainment to the God Frequency" can occur while speaking (or shouting) feelings out loud as well. Certainly this was not directed at anyone. This was between me, myself, and I. And it was here I noticed that my physical body would give me the "clues" as to whether I was being honest with what I was saying or not. Very simply put, when you are being as honest with yourself as possible - which is a natural state of innocence - you begin to entrain yourself to the God Frequency. The more you speak the truth, the more the mask or image of yourself begins to fade, whereby inviting more of your True Identity, your Source, your Core Self, to be present in your everyday consciousness. In being honest about your feelings, you are literally opening the doors and practicing the embodiment of the God Frequency. I suppose one could even say that in speaking honestly, or from the heart, we are literally "talking our-selves into the Truth of who we are". Incidentally, it is only then that we can even begin to be fully honest and fully present with others in our lives, but that is another whole article... or book!

So why are we so conditioned to fear our feeling nature here on Earth? Because somehow we know, deep down inside, that feeling and giving voice to our "bad" feelings creates a movement and healing that will eventually open the floodgates of Love. Are we ready for that? I'd like to remind you of that great quote about "our deepest fear" in Marianne Williamson's book "A Return to Love", that was also used in Nelson Mandela's 1994 Inaugural Speech. I've encountered it hundreds of times over the years and I never get tired of it... due to the fact that my body gives me the warm honey feeling in my heart and solar plexus area when I read it - a proven indication that it is true.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

People say that they want to have experiences of God, that they want to be "enlightened" and "one with the Source". Just know that it may be very different from what you "think" it is, and hold on to your hats for the day that the God Frequency just lightly reaches in and touches you - providing you with a "felt sense" of Creation. Nobody, but nobody can fully prepare you for this. Rather, they can only offer their own experiences that may possibly inspire you to invite "IT" in for yourself. I have been entraining my self to the SELF over the course of my entire life - not because I set out to do it, but because somehow, for some reason, these spontaneous God-Frequency "drop-in reminders" just happened to me over and over again. Understand that when something like this occurs, you can go one of two ways - completely mad or make a determined effort to integrate it. I do notice progress in being able to carry greater degrees of the God Frequency in my body and being, and the "talking myself into it" part gets shorter and shorter in duration, but it truly is a never-ending series of stretching exercises with no goal or end in sight. It's been my secret up until now, not because I wanted to keep it from anyone, but because I had no words for it, and no obvious audience. Something has changed over the past year. Perhaps my translating skills have improved, I don't know, and frankly I don't need to know.

I'm writing this just a few days away from Christmas - the celebration of of the birth of Christ. Some of Jesus' messages have come through the Bible pretty accurately and they are quite beautiful and inspiring. I know this because of my body's feeling indicators, not because any preacher-man said I should "believe it or burn in hell". I honestly know that Jesus was present on Earth to help "change our minds" from fear to Love; from smallness to Grandness; from lies to Truth. He was one of many teachers to come and demonstrate these empowering Life principles; to inspire us to invite and integrate the God Frequency into our own conscious awareness on Earth. Then came religion... (What the *&@# happened there?)

Never mind that for now. "We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone" (excerpt from the above quote). Therefore, this Christmas I shall be celebrating the birth of this Christ-Light-Glory in you and I, and every human being on this gorgeous planet we call Home.

Happy Holidays to all and we'll see you in the New Year! This will be my last post in 2006.

Under the Sun

Well I thought I was done writing for my new CD but this song insisted on coming over the past few days. I'd like to share it here and dedicate it to my blogger friend Tree. Maybe it's for her? I don't know. I never really know the mysteries behind songwriting.

Incidentally, I'm traveling to Santa Fe, New Mexico in February to record my 3rd solo CD and maybe do a few shows. Yay!

I'm very happy.

The Season for Receiving

I have a rather unique holiday-time lesson this year - learning how to receive. What is it about our culture that strongly influences us to "close the receiving door" - calling it 'selfish' and self-centered to turn the giving machine back towards ourselves? I for one never had much in the way of role models to demonstrate the fine art of receiving.

If I were a company I would've gone out of business long ago. My 'shipping door' has always been very active. My company is great at shipping and accounts payable, while receiving and accounts receivable aren't managed very well at all. All of this has been brought to the forefront of my consciousness due to my physical body demanding that we take a closer look at these imbalances.

For the past few weeks I have been suffering from a very painful form of tendinitis in my left shoulder. When I tuned in and asked for healing and help, I got the above message about receiving. I love how there always seems to be a teaching or message before the body will put any energy into healing and restoration. Once I 'get it', or a client 'gets it', and begins to apply what the feeling-physical body has suggested, there is a graceful movement and transformation to achieve balance once again. I love that!

Yesterday I had a client who said she didn't feel comfortable making a donation for a session ahead of time. She wanted proof first that my healing-guidance sessions had value to her before she pulled out her credit card. Whenever anyone asks for help, I immediately do prayer work whether they offer cash resources or not. This work isn't about money, and my guidance has made this very clear. Let's just say that my income arrives by donations, as well as in other ways - ways that have been for the most part unpredictable.

Following Guidance, I set up a session for this person. A few minutes before the scheduled time, I did my usual meditative prayer requests and then I asked for an opportunity to receive something wonderful from the session. Long story short, I got to experience first hand what it's like to try to enter someone else's receiving department to offer a gift when the person I'm working with has more defenses than Fort Knox. My work is not intellectual. I must find a feeling-heart opening in order to begin receiving guidance and wisdom to pass on to the client. Alas, there was no entry here. I stopped the session and wished her well in finding what she needed elsewhere.

It was a gift for me to experience what it must be like for Spirit interacting with me sometimes - attempting to respond to my requests with lots of incoming goodness while I'm too busy and distracted with the pouring out of energy over in the shipping department.

So as terribly selfish as it sounds, my homework these days is to continue to ask for, and be open to an abundance of opportunities to receive. In other words, I am learning how to experience the 'gift' of receiving graciously.

I'll keep you posted on my progress. Meanwhile, I'd really love to hear from readers about their experiences around the fine art of receiving. Has this ever been an issue with you?

Tis the Season for Receiving!

Imagine That

My own soul
Taught me how to pray.
Imagine that.
One day I noticed
My passing away.
How could I be dead
And still be walking on Earth?
That's what happens here
In the land of opposites,
In the "land-of-the-free-
But-only-if-you-work"...

And pay taxes of course.

So the soul said,
"Prayer is really just a way to remember
That there is a bridge from death to Life --
From slumber to lucidity ."
Same with singing,
Dancing,
Laughter,
The movement of grief...

So many ways to pray.

I began and always begin,
Right where I am -
After the usual lines of defense
Grow weary and thin.
Funny how things have to be dire first.
We become dismayed by
Signs of our own decay
And finally cry out.
Thankfully there is something within
That wants to live.
There is something within
That knows what Life is.
Funny how the soul really does
Hear the call...

And responds.

They call that 'God' or 'Angels'
Or something 'otherly' like that.
But I know
It was my own soul
That taught me how to pray
My self awake...

Imagine that.

Blobs & Floaters on the Screen of Life

floater |ˈflōtər| |ˌfloʊdər| |ˌfləʊtə|
noun
• a loose particle within the eyeball that is apparent in one's field of vision.

My own opthamologist told me last year not to concern myself with floaters. They are apparently quite common. So while at first I was alarmed, I eventually got used to having and accepting my own personal UFO fly-bys when I look at a book, a blank screen, a wall, or the sky.

"Apparent in one's field of vision" from the above definition is important. No other person can see our floaters. They may lay claim to their own, but only we can see our own floaters. (For those young'uns who don't know what I'm talking about, I hope you never have them, but for some of us they showed up in the late thirties and early forties.)

So far this may sound rudimentary and obvious, but I was setting things up for my big analogy... unacknowledged feelings are like having floaters without the understanding that their source lies within. If I don't understand that floaters are coming from my own retinal issues, I'm setting myself up for trouble. With this fundamental misperception, I might have the tendency to become fearful of these dark blobs that seem to appear on other people and things in my outer world. And with this misunderstanding, I might run like hell to escape them! But an interesting thing happens when we try to run away from our own misperceptions, from our own glaring blobs. It's not long after we escape "the old, or past blobs" that we settle down into a new environment with seemingly new, fresh and blob-less faces (blobs are temporarily suspended from view in the state of eros) that we are filled with the feeling of, "Now, finally, everything will be wonderful!" In other words, our future looks bright. But sooner or later those pesky blobs start appearing again. And then you may ask yourself, why do I continue to attract people into my life that have these moving gray/black blobs on them? We can see the ridiculousness of this with the idea of retinal floaters, so why is it not as obvious for us to see the floaters or blobs of our unexpressed feelings for what they are? We all know this one... "This isn't my fault! After all, you're the one with a blob on your face!"

We could also use the film projector/screen analogy here as well. Whatever feelings that remain tucked away in what you have convinced yourself is a safe, secret hideaway, will in fact eventually get broadcast onto the screen of your life. This is especially so now with Creation frequency (light) being broadcast into our reality at an ever-increasing rate. Imagine the Light of Creation pouring through you from behind. You are the projector and lens. How clean is your lens? Got any floaters? Whatever is on your lens is going to block or create an even more contrasting shadowy effect on your screen.

When we go to a movie and immerse ourselves into the plot, the characters, and the scenery, we may temporarily lose ourselves in the story, but we do have the overall understanding that this is a story that someone else wrote and produced into an audio-visual form that we can all experience in this way. Most of us who consider ourselves sane, would never think of standing up in the theater and trying to intervene with the plot or the characters, or take off running across the beautiful field of spring flowers with the frolicking young starlets on the screen. We sit quietly and enjoy the unfolding of someone else's story. We call it "entertainment".

What about your story? Perhaps you don't consider yourself a filmmaker or producer, but really you are. You watch your own story unfold every day of your life. In most stories we are accustomed to having a beginning, a middle, and an end. The beginning seems to come about out of our history, or the past. The end seems to be about just that - the imagined end or 'suggestion' of the future of our story. What I'd like to direct your attention to is the middle of your story, or what is occurring for you right now in this moment. You can't truly live in the beginning of your story, or in the ending of it for that matter. In reality you can only live now - the place where the perceptions of beginnings and endings is always changing; the place where your Source, or Light, comes pouring through. We are all projectors of consciousness. If there is something blocking the projection, or the passing through of pure Love, it will be made visible in your story on your screen.

Additionally, we can become convinced that someone else's story or interpretation of life is true as well. Remember the old 1950's horror flick called "The Blob"? (Steve McQueen's first big starring role.) I remember being absolutely terrified watching that as a child in the 70's. It was a horror film then, while today it is more of a comedy to me. Why is that? As a child I suppose everything is interpreted as 'real'. The point is, this was definitely someone else's scary story - someone else's projection onto the screen. I bought it. I thought it was real. Yet today that same blob monster on the screen makes me smile.

Now I have to say that never once - even before I learned about what a floater was - did I actually think that those floaters belonged to others, but you get my drift. My opthamologist pretty much said, "Get used to it." So I have. I've gone from, "What the hell is that?" to smiling about the 'joys' of aging.

"Floaters are painless and harmless. Your brain learns to ignore them, so they seem less bothersome and eventually settle to the bottom of the vitreous." -- courier-journal.com

So the moral of the story is, bring on the light and don't take yourself so seriously that you can't acknowledge your own floaters and blobs. Feelings must be spoken to be seen for what they are - harmless floating debris. Acknowledging your feelings leads you back to the present moment, or the middle of your story. And that's where we can let it go and let it all settle to the bottom of the vitreous (whatever that is).

We can accept the fact that our screens will always have varying degrees of a brightness and shadowy effect because that is the nature of a dualistic world. As the light grows in intensity we can choose to remain unconscious, afraid, and seemingly at the mercy of these blobs (complete with dramatic orchestral theme music), or we can choose to be conscious, alive, and simply play with this amazing dance of light. After all, you are the light, the projector, the lens, the screen, the theater, the actors and all of the props. Smile... and enjoy the show!

Love is Calling

Most of us are familiar with the phrase, "choosing love or fear". This is a significant phrase to me because it changed my life back in the early 90's. Before I was aware of this phrase in my everyday world, it was given to me in a particularly terrifying event that some refer to as "alien abduction". Incidentally, I've never liked that term. It's more like having someone turn your TV (programming) off for you and then lift you off of the sofa of your human comfort zone to then interact with a greater sense of reality and the consciousness that resides or has a point of reference there. So for the time being I prefer the temporary labeling of "experiencer" or "contactee" with More. It was terrifying initially, but the message given to me in the interaction helped me to 'grow out of ' the fear. I was informed in this particular interaction, as journaled in May of 1991, that I had a choice in how I could experience this "meeting" - I could choose Love or I could choose fear. I chose Love. There were many uncomfortable incidents like this that came before, but every incident that followed began with only a minimal amount of discomfort, which I learned to consciously recognize as the first clue that pure Love was calling, knocking on my door yet again. And each time that I consciously opened the door, I was brought to an ecstatic state of Oneness.

I understand now that "love or fear" was a translation into human terms for me at this particular time/space focus. Sometimes 'heavenly' translations into a more dense view of the world are not exactly accurate, but serve the purpose of getting a point across in that moment. Translation from a larger view is a sort of trans-dimensional reach into a more densely focused reality to inspire and encourage a raising of consciousness (also my definition of art). And I found that these moments of opportunity ultimately lead to new moments where we can continue to embrace a more expanded level of conscious awareness or a larger sense of the truth of who we are. In May of 1991 I responded to this "meeting with a greater awareness" by choosing Love. I let go of my resistance to it, thereby initiating an ongoing conscious dance with Love, which surprisingly did not lead me away from my earth experience, but rather led me towards the embodiment of Love in human form.

The larger truth that evolved out of the original "choosing love or fear" phrase, led me to embrace something more like this: "choosing between Love and resistance to Love". I became aware that it wasn't so much of an either/or decision, but rather the knowing that Love is all there is. Resistance to Love is what produces a fearful or anxious state that we then project onto other as "evil". And, make no mistake about it, resistance to Love also sets us up to project power, authority, and 'goodness' onto 'other' as well. Cutting ourselves off from this Central Source sets up something to the effect of a closed circuit system - one that receives no new or larger-view input. Therefore, we remain 'comfortably numb' in this unnatural state until painful events are introduced into what we once 'thought' to be a manageable system - strongly encouraging us to grow up and out of the status quo.

I'd like to take a couple of famous quotes about fear and replace it with my new-found translation.

"Fear is not the natural state of civilized people." --Aung San Suu Kyi

becomes, "Resistance to Love is not the natural state of civilized people."

"Feel the fear and do it anyway." --Susan Jeffers

becomes, "Feel the resistance of Love and allow it anyway."

The world is changing. I've noticed recently in watching mainstream TV that the "idea" of embracing your feelings (which every human being is aware on some level is ultimately "feeling where we resist Love"), is becoming popular. When these 'ideas' are discussed on "Oprah", "Ellen", and the "Larry King" shows, we know that something has shifted in a big way. I celebrate this when I see it. I also become aware that feeling our fears (resistance to Love) and discussing our fears are two very different things. I understand that this is how humans evolve - slowly new "ideas" are introduced and then we have discussions about them and around them by the "leading experts" or "authorities" in psychology, theology, science, etc. This seems to give everyday folk like us a certain sense of 'permission' to discuss it around the water cooler because we heard it on TV or read it in a NY Times Bestseller book. Then comes integration. These "ideas" can be integrated into our vast books of knowledge from the intellectual perspective, to be filed away for future reference and pontification, but true evolution occurs when we integrate and fully accept or own these ideas by embodying them.

Soon we will make the leap from from talking about feeling and knowing in the form of concepts that we volley to and fro, to FEELING and KNOWING on an experiential level - a level that invites the physical body to be a powerful friend and ally in this evolution of the Divine Human. There are no scholarly or practical 'experts' on the planet that can do this for you. As fun as it is to project our fears (resistance to Love) as well as our power and authority onto others, slowly but surely throughout history we have been backing our limited view of the self into the proverbial corner of consciousness to fully feel where we resist Love, acknowledge it, let the resistance go, and allow our Central Power to be present here and now. (Previously being the "idea" of power that we have been intellectually volleying as well.)

Perhaps you are smiling and nodding now as you read because you know by heart what I am attempting to express in words. For those who have an "idea" that they might be headed for an evolutionary upgrade in consciousness, I can't tell you what that will look like for you, but I can tell you from my experience that it's crazy beautiful. And it will transform not only you, and the image that you have of you, but it will magically (naturally) transform the collective world around you. And this is the evolutionary collective consciousness transformation that the great civilizations of past have foretold - preparing us for this exciting change through their art, symbol, and story. This is the transformation that so many of us have been waiting for. And it is now.
