When you think about this life you are participating in, you habitually compartmentalize it. You remember your “past”, deal with your “present” and plan for your “future”. This is part of the separation illusion that has been so prevalent in our collective consciousness. If you separate yourself now from whom you once were and from who you will be tomorrow, you can assign blame and regret. Both are necessary if we are to feel bad about ourselves. Right now, point at yesterday. Can you see it? Do you hear it? Where is that person who ticked you off? How about last week? Last month? Last year? They do not exist. All that you have is right now. You can bring yesterday into today with thought only. You cannot conjure up yesterday. It no longer exists for you. You may have heard “your point of power is in the present”. The spectrum of possibility for you – for your happiness, goals, health and vitality is right now. And right now. And right now. And right now. All that was done has been done; period. There is no need to analyze it or dissect every nuance or word. What that does is dredge it up, internally, into this moment now. Does it help you in this moment? Does it serve you to remember? Can you feel it when you remember? Yes, we all can. If it feels bad, your body reacts in a specific way – with heat or discomfort. Is that a helpful sensation right now? I suggest it is not. Let it go. You cannot do anything about your past. It is done. You can, however, do something about your present. Today you can create what you want with intention. Think, say and do what serves you NOW. It doesn’t matter what you did yesterday. It matters what you do right now. What do you want? Dreams of our future are helpful as they supply us with goals to reach for. As you define who you are, the picture of you will gradually be painted. It is not a stamped out, pre-formed shape that you are. No, you are a masterpiece – painted lovingly, gradually, seamlessly and intentionally by a master craftsman. The artist is you. Think about art. When you look at an exquisite piece, do you say “Well yeah, its okay now, but you should have seen what it looked like at first – you could barely tell what it was, the colors were horrendous and there was this giant blotch right in the center of it. That blotch was all you could see whenever you looked at it.” No, you marvel at the fine detail and perfect placement of each element. You appreciate real beauty. You are happy for the opportunity to enjoy it now, today. You are a masterpiece. Not a finished work hanging in a museum; a living, evolving, morphing being of indescribable beauty. You are not static and will never be finished. You are always in the process of becoming. And what is it that you are becoming? You are becoming MORE. More of what you are – divinity in human form. You do not need to examine your last brush strokes, you need to concentrate on the brush you are holding in your hands right now, choose a color and continue painting your masterpiece – today.

The course of your evolution is determined by your tenacity, intention and choice – not by dimension. What is a dimension anyway? It’s a number - with a “D” next to it. It is a name for the field in which you reside. It is where you are focused and are currently “hanging out”. You, and the earth on which you sit, are in 3D. You know this. It is a label our scientists have given to what surrounds us; what can be seen with the naked eye. These same scientists know there is more – that life exists beyond what is available to our eyes right now. They calibrate with instruments and determine that there is more, much more. There are other places to be. These places exist as possibilities, alternate “realities”. It has been foretold that we as a race are headed to one of these other places. Together with our beloved earth, we are about to change the set on which we play. All sorts of wonders await us in this new dimension. Since actual reports are few, we are left to imagine the incredible. And then, we wait. Here’s the thing, we don’t have to. We are the ones who’ve created all of this life in 3D – it will be us who creates the next life in 4D, 5D and beyond. It is us. It has always been us and it is us right now. To wait for someone to show up in a spaceship or within a cloud is perhaps a massive misunderstanding of what is going on here. We have to, and in fact are right now, doing this ourselves. There may be others, and many of us have heard from them, but none of them plans to swoop in and magically heal us, stop the wars and the manipulation and save the planet. It is up to us. The transformation of this world is sort of like the transformation of us individually – it takes action and intent. Persistence and planning are both necessary...together. Not to reject and replace what is here, but to incorporate a new vision into what we have right now, lovingly and with resolve. The magic is us. It has been this way always. We are hooked on this wonderful notion that either God or the Galactics are going to change everything while we sit back and observe. Nothing could be further from the truth. You, me and all of us are going to do this. It is time to step things up a bit - to accept responsibility for this “ascension to amazing”. See it now. Hold the vision always. Choose something you feel capable of and start there. It could be anything – your shoes, your room, your car, your love life. Visualize it as you would imagine it’ll be in the next dimension. Are your shoes shiny? Is your room clean and really cool? How about your car? Are you loved absolutely? See these things and believe in their possibility. Do not hope that they are true – believe that they are true – and then set about making them so. When an alternate thought enters your mind, lovingly let it go. Remind yourself that you don’t do that any longer – your shoes are always shiny now and you are surrounded in love. Then, and here is maybe the most important part, gently hug yourself and walk away – in your shiny shoes, get in your clean car and drive to your beautiful room where your love is waiting. This is you in the next dimension, this is you NOW. YOU are the only thing you can be absolutely certain you’ll be taking with you on this shift. Take the best, most powerful you there is. Utilize the tools you have right now and create the life, the world, you imagine. Do whatever you can; shine your shoes, paint your room, visualize your smiling face, love yourself. I suspect the wonders that await us are beyond my imagination currently. I believe we are the force propelling this shift and until we accept and use our power to do so, progress is halted. It isn’t up to anyone else. It is up to you. Start small, start big, but start. Not because you hate your life but because you love it and you see the possibilities. You are on the edge of amazing. It is time to step off. You are the one you are waiting for. As you move through your days, there is an undercurrent of tension. Depending on where you are and who you are, you will label this as illness, anxiety, anger, nervousness or excitement. Its source remains undefined. It is the energy of unity, individually experienced. Together, you are experiencing a change, a shift in how your world is seen and felt. You are realizing your truth; we are one. You are individually impacting the whole. Each of us is. There is the ripple in the pond effect in every moment. As the energy changes and things move more quickly, the net result of each action taken by you is felt further and faster than ever. This has always been, yet what is different now is our awareness of it as it occurs. You can see your emotions trickle out beyond where you stand. One anxious person in a home and the entire family visibly reacts. In the most effective and satisfying moments, you are clear on your emotions and from where they spring. Our most immediate responsibility in these shifting times is self awareness. Understand that we are one; who you are effects the whole of us. You may focus on a specific person or event yet they are merely signposts – what you experience is a reflection of your internal struggle. This may not be news you want to hear, yet it is truth. The world you see is subjective. It is seen from your eyes, felt with your heart and hands, heard through your ears. The life you live is defined by you and this definition is the only one that matters. You are a physical manifestation of love, an expression of divinity; form created from one thought – love. You are uniquely suited to every situation you find yourself in – if only because you got yourself there. Nothing is without purpose and the only one who can discover the purpose of your moments is you. There is no one who knows you like you do. Without judgment – come to see the breadth of experience your life is. Do not fear any emotion. All is included; joy, excitement, sadness, pain. You have chosen this. Insight is available always, yet it requires fearless scrutiny. No one is judging you more harshly than you. Give that up. Don’t let fear prevent you from seeing what is true. We have spent enough time now with blame and accusations. Resolve to spend the effort of emotion productively. It is okay to stumble a bit; that is how you learn to get up and stay up. Despising your actions, hating yourself or any form of self abuse does not serve you. Decide to be free of blame and self defeating thought. Gently, lovingly see who you have been and decide otherwise if he/she is not who you now are. You can choose how you feel, and by doing so, create your world consciously. It is your most powerful means to do so and in fact the only tool you have complete control of. It is time to understand deeply all that you are capable of. In Lak’ech. Allowing someone to “be”, without having to fix anything or make them feel better, this is love. Love does not mean forcing the other to stop feeling whatever it is they are feeling. This, in fact, makes YOU feel better, not them. Love allows the other their pain, anguish, joy; any possible emotion is ok, there is no good or bad. What makes YOU feel uncomfortable, you immediately work to stop. It is ok to be uncomfortable; it is part of our life here in this third dimension. We are all here to experience all of it – each emotion and event brings certain feelings to the surface and we tend to label them as good, bad, uncomfortable, and comfortable. In truth they are merely alternative vibrations – they differ from the status quo and so we notice them. It is our subsequent association, those events we attach TO them that create our opinions. It we attach something we do not feel went well, we will attempt to stop it in its tracks for our loved ones. This is not done to control them really; it springs from our love for them. It is our misinterpretation of the feeling that causes us to step in and attempt to make everyone feel better. The feeling springs from within. You will never know precisely what the other is feeling. You can only be sure what you, yourself are feeling. The ultimate loving action therefore is allowing, witnessing, and accepting. It matters not what your loved one is feeling or expressing, you will stand there and love them anyway. Their truth is theirs. You don’t have to like it or agree yet it is not about you. It is about them. Love them enough to allow them their anger and pain; they do not need correcting. They are in the place they are at this moment because of their current focus. It is not your job to re-adjust their lenses. You are here to love them. You do. Listening without comment can be the supreme act of love. Love them as they stand, right now, no exceptions, no corrections. It is time, perhaps, to consider in a real way, the idea that “disclosure” has occurred. We’ve seen ships in the sky that are not conventional aircraft and more than a handful clearly do not come from here. There are stories of government and/or military engagement with off world beings. There are other accounts from some of us who claim to have spoken to them for many years. What does it all mean? It sounds like disclosure has occurred. We do not need any more you tube videos or history channel specials. The evidence is everywhere. If we accept what is immediately in front of us, we will realize that it is not time to wait for disclosure to be announced, it is time to decide what we are going to do next. These beings from other places are not gods. They are other versions of us. Meeting them will be sort of like meeting new neighbors, only from much further away. They have advanced technology. They mostly look like us. Their perspective will be different. Imagine a conversation with someone from another planet, because you very well may be doing just that. It is time to lose our fear and suspicion and dependence on some outside “authority” to tell us what is going on. It is already going on. Now we need to consider in a real way what it will mean to share the planet with beings from someplace else. The whole notion of borders and nationalities sort of vanishes. We need not wait to hear the “spin” the media/government will put on this event. We are ready now to live it and understand the truth. We can only consider it because we really have no idea, yet. The Occupy movement has moved beyond Wall Street; let’s take it off of this world. Everyone’s included. We are all going. This shift is a move for the planet and everyone who chooses to remain on her at that moment. There are no requirements in order to make the cut. You have made it. You are here now and that is the only thing that is necessary. It makes sense to “get your house in order” as we move through this time. Things are different. The overwhelming energy on the planet is one of collaboration and unity, not one of polarity and “us against them”. The ideas we have held about right and wrong, good and bad, better and worse will not work as well anymore. The shift will be easier if we begin to move towards love. The only work necessary to prepare is internal. You alone know where you stand on every issue. We are moving out of a time where we expect to be told by some outside authority what to believe in, and what to do in order to be acceptable and to get ahead. The time now is one of empowerment. How you proceed from here on out is up to you. There is no “judge” deciding your fate here. Only you will determine your destination. The move from third to a higher dimension will be your choice and you will make it from your deepest core. You will decide by yourself. All by yourself. Choose love and know that you have chosen perfectly for this life you are living. Just be love. Once you become clear on your intent, it gets easier to see which emotions and actions serve you. The indicator for you is which feel good and which doesn't. There is no other who can tell you that - it is up to you alone and known by you alone. As the clarity of who you are becomes closer and closer to truth - there will be only strength in your convictions. Trust that and feel the power of you, watch as your light grows ever stronger. That is love and it is what you are. Regardless of what it looks like, love is always true. Love is identified by what it feels like, not what it looks like. We are love and stand as its source. We’ve been searching for it everywhere but the one place it exists. It begins in our own heart. Love does not show up in our lives when someone else says “I love you”. Love is what we are. It exists because we do. To recognize it in this very dense third dimension, filled with contrast and polarity, can be a challenge. Start with you. These beliefs, attitudes, expectations, requirements and judgments are ideas we hold about ourselves. It is time to let them go. They are firmly rooted in right, wrong, good and bad. There is none of that in love. It’s all love. You are worthy, deserving and uniquely suited to love. You are the perfect expression of love in physical form. Feel wondrous about yourself! Appreciate your own magnificence! There is no reason to wait to love you. The time is today. Love yourself now! You don’t need to look or act a certain way before you can love yourself. You don’t need to do a certain thing in order to prove that you love yourself. Just love yourself. Without condition. Once you accept who you are, the rest is easy. There is no one harder on yourself than you. Listen to the way you talk to yourself – would you speak those words aloud to someone else? I think not. Accept yourself without condition and go one step further – celebrate yourself. Give yourself the gift of appreciation. You, who understand deeply every part of yourself, are divine. You have no imperfections. In a world of infinite possibilities you are merely one of them. You have your own way of looking, being, acting and speaking. They are uniquely yours. You always do what you believe is the best thing to do in every situation. It is. How things turn out and are received by others has more to do with what the “others” believe about themselves than you. It always comes back to you. Love who you are today without any reservation. You stand without requirements. Right now – you are perfection. Right now – you are love. It is ok to love yourself. Be the shift. It starts with you. It begins within. Don’t wait for your lover or family or friends or country to love you first. There are no standards to comply to. You have met and exceeded them all. It is time to believe your most cherished secret – that you are good and you are capable of achieving your wildest dreams and that you are loved. You are. There is no one more perfect than you. There is no one more deserving of love than you. You are loved beyond your greatest imaginings. This shift takes place in our hearts. Love yourself without any hesitation at all. Just begin, right now, to say “yes”! This is the Shift of the Ages. The world that awaits you is beautiful beyond description and it’s available right now. Be the Shift. Just love yourself. Love is divine. The divinity spoken of is not reserved for the love of a god or a child, but for all expressions. Understand that once love is recognized, there are an infinite number of ways for it to be felt and shared. There are connections that are spiritual, some that are mental, those that are emotional and others that are physical. All are love. We have put labels on love; defined love as “good” or “bad”, real or otherwise. In truth, love exists in all moments. It is the recognition of that love in each facet of life that propels us towards unity. Labels are separators, and as long as they exist, oneness does not. All is love. That wild sexual encounter, quiet walk in the park, gentle hug, inspired dance, passionate conversation, angry outburst and helping hand are each physical manifestations of love; each very different, yes, but with the same “value”. Love cannot be quantified, I do not love one of my children more that the other. I love each of my children. I do not love one of my siblings more than the other. I love my siblings. It is the same with each of my friends, all of my bosses, and every one of you. I love you all the same. Love is like air. It surrounds us. We breathe it in and out and expect it to always be there. You don’t wake up each day hoping you’ll get enough air. You wake up and breathe it in. It sustains you. Love surrounds you. It is equally available. It does not increase its power if you are rich or beautiful or lucky or of a certain race or religion or age. Love is an equally potent force for all of us. Whether it manifests as hundreds of friends or just one, it is the same. How much you are loved is not indicated by numbers of any sort. You are loved. Like the air, there is no place you can look and not see love. The trick is to recognize it. It’s like that saying, “If you want to hide something, put it in plain site.” Love is right in front of you, every moment of each day. This does not mean you will enjoy each moment, vision or person equally. You do not have to open your arms and hug them all. You will laugh with some of us, yell at some of us, dance with some of us, disagree with some of us and make love with some of us. You will feel closer to some than others. These are specifics of relationships, not degrees of love. Love is truth. It is you. It is me. It is us. You have come here now to actualize the love that you have always been. You are here to realize your very essence. There is no better time than now to love. I have a lifetime of stories I have shared and re-lived up until now, that don’t serve the love that I am. They serve only to separate. I have believed that in order to understand me, you had to hear all of my sadness. Like a badge, I wore them and spoke of each mistreatment dramatically and effectively. What they had in common was someone to blame that was not me. I am putting my badges away and you know, I feel a whole lot better. Unencumbered, I am free to love without condition. I am ok, not in spite of my past or because of what’s happened, but just because. There is no room in my life now for blame. The past is not real, it cannot be touched. What I can touch is this cat by my side, this pen in my hand and the snow outside my window. What I have is right now. I watch my beautiful son eat his leftover birthday cake for breakfast (a questionable family tradition), and hear his adorable brother laughing and count my many blessings. This is the world I have created and it is perfect. It’s a bit messy, sometimes it sort of stinks, but always it is life; my expression of the love that I am and that’s ok. Actually, it’s magnificent. Today let’s let go of our propensity to label people and to judge levels and kinds of love or life. Let’s give up judgment altogether. Our moment to love is here and no one is better equipped to love yourself than you. There’s no room for judgment in one such as you. You are a being of light and source runs through every part of you. There is nothing left to do but love. It is what you are. The truth about love – that it is everywhere, that we can access it without anyone else in the room, is a challenge. This way of thought is not one we are familiar with. I hope you’ll stay with me here as I have some ideas to offer you that are not what we’ve been fed all along. The reason I offer them here is so that ultimately we can adopt a strategy for living and loving that lasts. Not just for a moment or a weekend or a few short months – forever. I want us to feel always empowered, always loved, and always love. My deepest wish for us is constant joy. This is not dispensed to us from an all powerful source, but it springs from us. It’s like tying your shoes. Having tied shoes is something you took for granted as a toddler. Every day, some adult in charge, tied your shoes. If they became untied and loose, you could trip and fall. Although you may have been able to get back up again, you could not prevent another fall because you could not tie your own shoes! Until you learned. It wasn’t easy. It felt clumsy and often they came undone anyway. Daily, sometimes hourly practice changed all that. One day they didn’t get loose and you didn’t trip at all. A few days later you stopped thinking about your shoes. You just skipped through your days, unafraid. We all have different approaches. One of my sons just ties them once. Not once a day, or once a week, but once – period. He hates tying his shoes and enjoys the freedom of never thinking about it beyond that moment when he brings them home from the store. It works. So, let’s skip through our days, unafraid. Let’s lose our dependence on some “other” to love us and create a feeling of worth in ourselves. Let’s access our very essence, and love ourselves. That way, no matter whom else is around, we are ok. We can feel good, joyful even. We can take pleasure in the wonder of us, in the fact that we breathe and think and communicate and create. Let’s enjoy ourselves without dependence on another to create that possibility. Happiness, joy, love – it’s all a choice. It is not something we have to ask for, it is the expression of our very nature. We are powerful, playful, loving beings. We are here now, by choice, to “shift the vibe” from polarity to unity. This really is who you are; you are a unique form of creative energy who came to do this wonderful thing. You are here to love. Your understanding and willingness for the role is breathtaking. You are seeking to learn. You are looking to evolve. Your unique gift is necessary. We all need what you are. You stand without need of improvement. You require nothing else to be of value. You are beautiful, strong, compassionate and perfect. You can hear these words again and again or never again – they are truth. Speak them to yourself. When you fall, get up and lovingly tie your own shoes and join us as we skip through life with our own shoes firmly tied. We are smiling and strong and waiting for you. We know who you are without words. When our eyes meet, you tell us. You are love. In Lak’ech. |
