There's Beauty in a Sunset...

What comes to mind when someone says "sunset?" When I think of them, aside from the wondrous array of colors that I imagine, I also think... 

• The end of the day
• The cowboy riding into the sunset after his story is done
• The end of an epic journey
• An old couple living their final years together
• well, basically, I guess I think "The End!"

Okay, I'm being a little too much to my point. If I'm to be honest, I also think of 

• Hawaii (where I saw sooo many beautiful sunsets)
• The time I sat with Keith and two of his friends during my first week in Bethlehem, outside a sushi restaurant where we met for dinner, and were lucky enough to see the most beautiful sunset I think I've ever seen outside of Hawaii! And this, my friends, was a BEGINNING.
• Driving around California looking for the best place to watch the sun go down while I lived in Fremont
• Days spent at the beaches in Northern California, sitting on the sand until the sun crashed down into the Pacific
• Also, countless sunsets viewed from Sunset Beach, Cape May, New Jersey, where our family spends a week every summer

Sunsets definitely mark an end of a period, most of the times. They mark the end of a day, which, if you've had a tough one, is felt as a positive thing. If you're having a great one, then maybe it's bittersweet. But if you learn to enjoy the beauty of it, then its arrival is always amazing... and this is where I come to my point. In my 50s now, I finally see the true beauty of The Sunset. I have learned so much about who I am. I have painstakingly created the Me that I love. I feel a sense of satisfaction and joy with what I have been through, experienced, learned... to the point that as I reach that bend in the road that leads me towards my body's expiration date, I also welcome what awaits in that final sunset. I understand why physical immortality isn't needed. 

We ARE immortal, my friends. I hope you know this. Physics tells us that nothing can be destroyed, only changed or transmuted. We are energy and energy never dies! That is the miracle of Life that we seem to forget. Our soul and spirit continue as we return to God/The Universe/Ether... however you wish to see it. Many feel that we close our eyes in our used up bodies and then wink out of existence. That would be a true miracle! lol Because that would defy the laws of physics!! No, my dear ones... I can't explain how I KNOW this. I know it like I know my own face. We don't go into nothingness. For proof, listen to the stories from people who have returned from their death to tell the tale. Near Death Experiences are not actually "Near death" as many actually WERE dead for many minutes. Their bodies literally had stopped working. The definition of death. But they came back because they were given a choice sometimes, or they were told they weren't done here on Earth, and were sent back to their bodies. And they came back with stories. I've heard so many of them, and the similarities are stunning. Not to mention that I had my own experience that changed my view of the afterlife. More on that in another post. 

Let me just say that this is not all there is. There is SOOOOOOOOO much more, and folks, when you experience your own, it will outshine any sunset anywhere, because it will be like you were shot straight into those rays of the sun, except it's not hot... it's brilliant, yes, but it's like looking into a gorgeous diamond up close with the sun shining and all the refractions of rainbows and more spectrums of light than you have ever been able to see with your human eyes, plus ALL the love in the universe suffusing every molecule, merging with you.... and you will sigh with your soul and you'll say: I AM HOME. You will remember that THIS is you. You are again one with Divine Source Energy. You are and always have been one with God. You just forgot.

Blessings and Love xoxo

The Highest Authority

 I don't know what your stance is for the existence of extraterrestrials, inter dimensional beings, angelic beings, or multidimensional beings, but mine is that they all exist, and they're all around us. There. I said it. I believe.

Why do I believe? For one, the Universe is greater and more mysterious than we can imagine, and it's being proven to us all the time if we only open our senses to receive that information. I have seen things. I have heard things. I have felt things. I know beyond doubt that others exist that are not US. They also aren't NOT us. I believe we are connected on all levels and with all beings through God. Let me make clear: I am not religious. But I also am not an atheist. I was born a spiritual being and remain a spiritual being. My experiences in this lifetime, as well as past lives, have taught me that we are greater than the sum of our parts. I think that's why mystical experiences are so expansive for humans... they remind us that we are part of the Divine. Mystical experiences teach us that we ARE mystical if we are able to experience the mystical. In the experience, we become.

As I've gotten older, I've been able to acknowledge that there is more and greater understandings to absorb than I could have hoped there would be. Our lives are not just: You're born, you live, you die. Rinse and repeat. We actually contribute to the vast fabric of Life with every thought, action, awareness, understanding, and intention. Our vibrational frequencies go out and make the fabric of life more complex, more beautiful, and more rich and diverse for what we add to it. And when we move on to the next dimension, when our human bodies stop functioning, our soul rejoins the Great Spirit, Mother Father God, and our experience as a human is shared with all. We are but individuations of God, experiencing Itself. When we do something to another, it is done to ourselves, and it is done to God. I can't quote the Bible, but I know that there is something to the statement, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." This is because we are all One. We are all God. That includes extraterrestrials. That includes angelic beings. They were the first of God's creatures, right? Mother Father God wanted a way to reflect back to Itself, and angels were the first. We all came a little later. I'm not just making this up... this is what is written in many various spiritual texts throughout time. All religions teach that God was first, and then angels, and then everything else. 

What many DON'T know is that we are all multidimensional beings, with access to other dimensions outside of time and space. Because we are connected to God, and to all other beings (including our past selves from other life times) we can access those timelines and dimensions if we only know how. And some people know how already. I'm on the path of learning... I want to learn to connect reliably with my higher self, and with my angels and guides. I've had some contact with them that felt very one-sided... meaning I asked them for help and received it. Thank you! But I'd like to learn how to hear them. How to answer their calls, and hear their messages. I know that we are meant to hone our intuition, which will lead us to greater awareness and understanding... but I think I need to trust myself more. I KNOW I need to trust myself more. That's one of the problems we humans face every day, I think. We just don't trust our own intuition. We don't know how to listen to our higher selves, and so they become silent. But they're not gone. They're just waiting until what they say is heard. Then they will speak more often and with more authority. We are all greater than we know. And we don't need to look outside ourselves for authority. We can be our own authority. If we only learn to trust ourselves. In trusting ourselves, we are trusting in Mother Father God. The Universe. The Highest Authority.

In what ways are you contributing to the vast Fabric of Oneness? How are you honoring your higher self, your ancestors? What messages have you received from your guides that you listened to? What were the results? And how will you connect to your higher self now? Or your Spirit Guides, Angels and Ancestors? We each have our Team, and they want us to succeed in our Soul's Journey. We are each a hero in our own story, so how are you showing up for your role as Hero? Just some questions to ponder... if you sit with these questions, and ask your Higher Self these questions, see what comes. Journal if that helps. (That always helps me!) I welcome advice and comments! 

Love and blessings to All. xoxo

2020 and Beyond

 Let's back up a little bit... back at the end of 2019, I was having strange, apocalyptic dreams. They creeped me out. Also, friends of mine that I talked to all the time were ALSO having apocalyptic dreams. Little did we know what 2020 was going to bring to all of us. When Covid-19 drove us all into quarantine, I think we all felt like the world was ending. (I felt like I understood why I had those dreams.) The world didn't end. It changed, though, and so did we. And what I believe a lot of us actually found, for better or worse, was ourselves.

Once we were secluded from the world of work and schedules and commutes... well, it was like a collective sigh of relief from humanity, wasn't it? All of us who were stuck in a rut, spinning our wheels in the metaphorical mud suddenly realized that we were being gifted an opportunity to reflect on what matters the most. We made connections with friends and families via Zoom, as awkward as that can be, it was nice in a way. We found out that we needed the break from the hustle and bustle we were living. We learned more about self-care. Many learned to meditate and connect with their Higher Self. The Earth started to heal as pollution died down to a minimum.  We reconnected with Nature, as a way to get out of our homes and find some peace for ourselves... thus reminding us of how important those natural spaces are for everyone. I also learned that Love is the highest frequency, and all things must be rooted in Love. One of the downloads that I received from my guides was that my purpose is to help guide people to that understanding. 

In hindsight, that year truly gave me 2020 vision for what my true needs were, and it gave me the time to detox from the craziness of civilization. For many, it also gave a clearer view of what we didn't want to experience anymore... whether it was poor health habits, manic work hours, dysfunctional relationships... disconnection. Some of us started learning new things about our truest selves. I discovered that I want to be part of the up-leveling of Humanity. I want to see us reach the Golden Age that is prophesied by ancient civilizations and various channels throughout history. What is being channeled by people all around the world is that THIS is the beginning of a Great Age. That is why many of us have incarnated here now... to help do the difficult work of raising the consciousness of humanity from the dark ages of control and lack and scarcity thinking to a world of freedom and abundance for all. We all are part of this world for our own light to shine! How we contribute is by being our very best selves. By learning who we are and how we can help. We contribute by creating art, music, and more. Creativity comes from the heart and the higher self. All you have to do is express it!

It's now January, 2024. I've made my way (slowly, slogging through some muck) to a place in my life where there is little I fear. I can truly say that when I search my energetic body, I can't find too much in me that feels fearful. The unknown is nothing to fear... it's just unknown. It can be only positive in nature, if you understand that we are all here to learn. The difficult challenges we face are there to forge you into a stronger, wiser YOU. Know that when we leave this earthly plane, this Grand Experiment of Duality, we return to the Source. We merge back with Mother Father God, Source, the Universe. We return to Unconditional Love. We return to the Loving Embrace of each other, where we were before our bodily incarnation into this Dimension. Let go of fear... we are all here. Together.

In all things, be Love. In every exchange, do it with Love in your heart. Treat each other with the understanding that we are all connected, and indeed we are all ONE. We are ONE with each other, and with our planet, our solar system, with Mother Father God. Separation is the illusion that was put before our eyes so that we could find our way back to God, and prove that we are Divine Beings who have not forgotten our immortality. Ask yourself if this feels right to you. You don't have to take my word for it! Why is it that when we do something out of deepest love, that it feels so good and raises our vibration? I believe it's because we were all meant to be vessels of Love. We are here to support each other in our learning and advancement towards a society that acts out of Love. Wouldn't that be an amazing world to live in? Well, it's exactly where I'm heading, folks! Join me!   

My Current Reading List

 

In order to expand my understanding of Soul, and to help me unlock my own potential, I've been reading a LOT. I wish I could say that it's all fun and fiction, but actually... nothing I've read has been fiction, or even easy. Although I'd argue that it's kind of fun learning that we (humans) are powerful beings with abilities that are yet to be fully unlocked until we're ready. Some people have already unlocked many of their latent abilities, but many have yet to even believe that they have latent abilities, and so they can't be unlocked for them yet. I've learned that your subconscious beliefs can be either limiting or empowering. Our ability to manifest is truly amazing... and I'm not saying that I have this figured out. I am only starting to understand all the subtleties that surrounds this. But many others manifest naturally, and some are able to with their conscious will. My understanding is that we all are manifesting all the time. The trick is in allowing yourself to receive, and to not block your desires with unconscious negative beliefs.

I've been able to manifest what I need when I need it... and it started with a shift in my thinking and my beliefs about Abundance. I've listened to a lot of subliminal programs to undo my scarcity thinking. As soon as you start to do the work (and it's work, believe it or not, to deprogram those deeply rooted beliefs about abundance, wealth, health, etc.) Once you start, though, and you start seeing results, that empowers you to continue! We are all helped by each person doing their Shadow Work. I'll be honest, it's almost addictive once you start to do your deep dives into your psyche for the causes of your limiting beliefs. I enjoy the feeling of lightness I get everytime I dig something out! It's like the feeling after you get a splinter out of your foot. It hurts while it's in, and it hurts while you're digging and pulling, but once it's out you get a sense of relief and you can then heal. Spiritual work and self-discovery is like that. 

So here is how I started:

    You Are the Placebo, by Dr. Joe Dispenza - I've always enjoyed listening to him in interviews, and was first introduced to him in What the Bleep?! It was a movie I watched years ago when I still lived in California, and it followed The Secret, which is what led me to look for more. The quantum exploration is how I started learning about the truth of our existence! This book delves into how our mind works in the process of healing... and it gives you powerful tools to help change that which stops our healing: Our own beliefs. Because human bodies were designed to be self-healing! We're hindered by environmental toxins, self-ingested toxins, etc, and we can be physically hurt at times, but it's inherent in our amazing human bodies to repel what's bad and to heal. There is proof all around us, if we choose to acknowledge it and to accept it as true.

Alchemy of Nine Dimensions: The 2011-2012 Prophecies, by Barbara Handclow - I'll be fully honest: I'm still not done reading this one. There's a lot in here, and I find that I need to absorb it in small chunks. I need lots of grounding after I read from this book. The information in this book was channeled by Barbara Handclow from a Pleiadian collective. Basically, the information in here teaches us about the available dimensions that we can have access to, when we're ready. According to Handclow, we've already moved into the Fourth Dimension, and so animals and other beings are now moving into the Third Dimension. The idea that Mother Earth, Gaia, is conscious and her consciousness is increasing in this cycle of humanity, is very exciting to me! As a child I always felt the Intelligence of Earth, minerals, plants, trees especially, and animals. I was never in doubt, even when being told that I was imagining things. Don't doubt your inner knowing, people! Trust your instincts... trust your gut, and trust your heart.

I will talk about other books that I'm exploring in other posts. These are dense reads (mostly the second book haha) and I haven't finished reading the second one yet.

In future posts, I'll talk about my sessions with Lightstar, who is a channel and read some of my Akashic Records for me. I'll also talk about Human Design and what that can show us about ourselves, how we show up in the world, how we show up for others, and how our personal design uniquely shows us about how we interact with others.

I Am Back (Oh, What a World!)

I know it's been years since I have posted anything. Life has been A LOT. After having my child in 2012, I was consumed by other responsibilities and tasks. I personally went through many changes. I changed careers in 2016, and I'm on the brink of changing again... I'm only waiting for the Universe to help me set my path. I've been processing many losses and many changes. Not just personally, but globally. These are highly unusual times we find ourselves in, are they not? 

Here are some of the tangible changes that I'll share:

• We lost dear Beckham in 2016, and Saint Jimothy Boo in 2021. I was grateful to have had Jimmy Boo with us during the Pandemic quarantine although not much after that.
• We got a new cat, Lincoln, in 2017, who became Jimmy Boo's best friend and who loved Jimmy as much or maybe more than we did, in the way of cats.
• We rescued a St. Bernard/Akita mix senior dog, Max, from an animal shelter in 2018, but then discovered that he was very reactive to the presence of cats. Oh dear. This changed the rhythm of our lives, but we learned to flow with it!
• I completed my certification as a Crystal Reiki practitioner through Love and Light School. I did this during the Pandemic, as what else was there to do?
• We took on the care of Luna, who was my sister's cat for many years, and she became our Basement Kitty, who didn't get along with J Boo or Lincoln, and who only came out once Max was upstairs in our bedroom. She passed in 2022.
• I wrote a book on crystal healing, having planned a series, but then got stuck on the publishing portion ha ha!
• Most recently, we adopted a new kitten for my daughter and also for Lincoln, as he was missing a partner to cuddle with. Her name is Freyja, and she's a darling little pip! Everything is always on her terms only!

Here are some of the intangible changes that I'll share:

• I started to play with frequency, vibration and resonance in my being, and also with others' energy fields. I learned Reiki 1, and plan to continue to mastery.
• I started meditating more regularly.
• My eyes were opened to the existence of Life Outside of Earth. 
• I started having some strange "downloads" of information that came seemingly from another dimension.
• I became aware of other dimensions, and other ways of interacting with  dimensions outside of the Third Dimension. Not least, I was able to see and hear things that were not emanating from our Third Dimension.
• I also became aware of the shift of the Third Dimension of reality into the Fourth Dimension, although I didn't know how this was manifesting, exactly. I could feel it and sense it.
• I became aware of the subtle energy within my body that we call Intuition, and started paying attention to it more and more.
• I had several sessions with Lightstar and learned of some of my past lives, and some of my other dimensional lives. (I lived in Lemuria, which doesn't surprise me at all!) 
• I found out that I've had lives on other planets, and was once from Andromeda, the Pleiades, and that I was Arcturian. (I'm sure I'm only one of millions who have made these kinds of discoveries lately!)
• I started to actively connect to my Higher Self, and with my Angels and Ancestors/Spirit Guides, receiving help from them all in my daily life.

I know that was a lot to share, and I'm not unpacking all of it now. Let's just say that I've embarked on a Spiritual Journey, as many others have, I'm sure... and that I'm ready to start sharing this beautiful exploration with others now. And I'd love to hear from other people who are going through similar things as myself. Exploring the wonders of Life... and indeed, discovering the multidimensionality, power and infinite nature of our amazing and beautiful Souls is the ultimate, is it not??
