i am a possibilitarian

by meredith murphy

 

What is a possibilitarian?  It's what I chose to say about myself when asked once about my political beliefs.  What does this mean, really?  Well, here's what I believe...

I am happy and enthusiastic about life. I believe peace is possible. To know this together as a planet, we need to gradually heal individually. We will then lighten up, be less focused on creating our identity through external things and actually value getting to know ourselves and one another. I find listening, solitude and silence to be essential to a peaceful life and thus a peaceful world. As is self-love, self-confidence and a sense of your own beauty and value and then realizing--since we're all one, that same beauty and value extends to everything. From this we are transformed. The more loving and gentle we are to one another, the greater potential we open into. I know peace is possibly by my own life--I am living a beautiful peaceful life. We are innately drawn toward inner openings which guide is to this state of being. Kindness, humor, hope and self-love are our greatest allies.

 

living the new paradigm: accepting the generosity of life

by meredith murphy

Life is ripe with opportunities.  It's endless.  Each morning we awaken and it unfurls in our presence.  

We call forth our experiences with our expectations, feelings, focus, intent.  

The opportunities to discover pathways to joy, innate wisdom, happiness, relief, communion, abundance--they're continually available.  They are ours to claim, and all we do is turn within and call them forth by paying attention to that desire.  

We are here now.  All that came before is just memory.  All that lies ahead is just plans.  All that distracts us in the moment is thoughts.  Beyond plans, memories and thoughts are countless invitations to the good stuff!  Life is offering us endless generous openings.  Are we living with this awareness and allowing our experience to ascend?  To rise up, to soar even?

It's time to shift into living in the present and commanding energy to your liking.  It's time to expect more...

I'm personally (naturally) expecting wonderful.

You?  

 

letting life flow through me

by meredith murphy

I AM a star.  As such I generate light through my focus.  As I AM the eyes of God, of Source, of All-That-Is, my appreciation flows endless amplitudes of light.  As I move into greater transparency with this vastness of my own being, I experience a foreigner's sense of living an Earth-life and it is as if I came here recently, new to this place and am freshly choosing how and what I wish to experience.

I do not understand many things anymore.  Things I used to understand.  I do not feel negative feelings about them, no--it is that really I just don't understand.  Or perhaps it is more accurate to say I do not resonate with things so I have no idea how to relate.  This is fine.  I simply turn my attention to that which I do resonate with and allow it to shape my life.

This is a very different way of being within the human template.  Yet it feels natural.  I like it.  I feel a little thrilling energy as I write this.  The clarity of what I am saying here opens me to a certain type of flow--and a jolt of energy, which I know as a "thrill" happens and this experience feels wonderful.

As a star, I have presence in many realms of focus and more and more I simply relate to myself as the sum of all this.  The particulars seem less important the way my atoms in my fingers seem no more important than the whole of my hand.  All of me works beautifully in coherent harmony and knows how to do this as a whole!  How amazing I AM.

In this experience that is now my lens of living in this Meredith-enabled body, I discover that much time and energy has been spent cultivating the costume here!  Relieved of this impulse, I find beauty in so many things I cannot imagine feeling the need for more or new...as more and new is already given so generously everywhere.

And so, wow, there is much to experience!  As the presence I am is wide-open, life is available in deeper, expanded, elevated ways.  I see now that so much of what we experience is dependent on our openness and presence.  As we are increasingly capable of an undivided presence, we experience more.  Of course endless wise souls have written about this, I merely add to their lineage my own direct experience which affirms this, and intend for my happiness to amplify the availability of this experience for anyone who seeks joy and ease.

I AM abundant and rich!  This is not a concept; it IS.

I AM cared for without concern, exactly like the "lilies of the field," and my awareness of this and my sense of self (absent the illusion of separateness thus any idea of "deserving this" is a non-issue) make this knowing a simple, nonchalant fact of life, a wonderful aspect of truth which I get to experience in human form.  I AM that which enables my human existence here as Source and I AM that receiving Source Energy as love.  I am grateful for the connection.  I am grateful for the blocks to knowing the truth of this experience being dissolved into clarity and delight.  

I wish for all beings to know the joy of life.

All that I AM now wishes to ease the suffering of others.  I have resolved my own unhappiness and fed my energy field to abundance.  I continue as an appreciative presence to generate energy and am nourished and resourced as I intend.  I AM a channel of love.  I don't need to "do" anything for this to happen--it's natural to let life flow through me--but my intention allows it to take shape as I AM.  So what I know can become part of reality, I intend for it to manifest and I create it within my experience; thus enlarging our experience.  I let life, in all it's infinite wisdom and abundant love, flow through me, as the aspect of creation I AM.  Shining on, as the One I Am here and now, as love.

Very happy to meet you in this lovely field of light!

the confidence of innocence

by meredith murphy

Today I saw this quote/image* posted by a friend online and it was so in harmony with this opening into the Eclipse Passageway and what I had written this morning that I wanted to share it with you.

Today, I evoke the faith of a caterpillar who takes its step toward transformation knowing not what the process is or what the struggles will be, but remembering somewhere inside that it is a butterfly and knowing that is ready to fly. I know that the miracle is already there. I am the miracle.
~ Marianne Williamson

The thing which most resonates with me about this is the image, and the innocence and fragility of this beautiful striped caterpillar.  Yesterday during the Opening Event of the Eclipse Passageway we experienced a layered guided journey which transported us to a sacred grove and opened up a doorway to the innocence and dreams we had earlier in life, calling forth our ability to remember and the courage to revisit what Archangel Michael called, "our saved up wishes," so we might bring ourselves into greater wholeness.

The striking thing about this to me is this return over the last year of my life, of a profound and deep desire to allow my own innocence to arise.

Like many of us, I am sensitive and appreciative of innocence in others--children, flowers, my beloved animal companions...and yet how often do we consider that innocence might actually be such a vital aspect of our very self NOW?  As an adult?  As an awakening being of light, I am beginning to realize that innocence has a resonance that is similar to purity and optimism--it's implied by the true nature of our being.  Ironically, however, innocence has in our world become a tainted notion.  It is associated with naivety, which often even is used as a judgment to criticize someone as stupid, out of touch with reality, not practical, not capable.

This is a vast distortion of the true meaning and quality of innocence.

The literal meaning of innocence, means without guilt.  We associate "growing up" with a loss of this innocence. This too is a distorted perspective.

To grow, rather then to "grow up" is the natural mode of being.  To continually expand and express, to evolve and differentiate while also moving increasingly toward wholeness and oneness.  Seemingly contradictory, but actually and entirely the true nature of reality.

Innocence is your actual state of being--pure, perfect, without any guilt or sin.  There is truly no such thing as right or wrong, just choices, just different experiences, all taking place within the wholeness of being and ways of exploring and expressing to discover what brings joy, to extend that which you are in new ways and forms.

So during this eclipse cycle, I invite you to realize that you are pure, perfect, lacking nothing, capable of creating miracles as an extension of that which you are--miraculous and radiant.  You occur as a result of Divine Presence conjuring up this idea which became you!  Your very being is the result of divine creation--you ARE a miracle.

Once you realize this...you begin to slowly feel this truth in your being.  You begin to consider that perhaps it is true--that you are made up of divine energy and all of you is wonderful and beautiful.  You begin to get gentle with how you look at your life and to contemplate that perhaps, yes, all that you have done and been is just ways of exploring, expressing, discovering, extending, that which you are.  You soften up toward you. 

And as one grows into this realization, the knowing of your eternal nature nature arises.  You recognize this life experience as a version of you extended into this human form for even more exploring and choice-making, discovering and being.   All to grow and have fun.  To discover new pathways to joy. 

And the curiosity grows...the sense of wonder and amazement you had while young resurfaces expanded, and life becomes a daily opening into the possibilities of all that you might be and become, discover and create, feel, sense and realize.

You realize that all of your experience arises within you and then flows out into form and experience.  That certain forms and experiences stimulate your heart and your feelings of love and the devotion to these choices grows.  You begin to understand how to cultivate happiness and exhilaration.  You love peace and contentment and know how to rest in these.  The confidence of innocence returns.

As we orient more knowledgeably to our life experience here, we become more skillful and this skillfulness manifests visibly as grace, ease, humor, playfulness, lightness, simplicity, abundance, confidence, clarity, self-love, gentleness, generosity, appreciation, trust, optimism and innocence.

A deep sense of connection arises and one dwells nestled in love and companionship.  The presence of divine love is felt pervasively and deep peace settles in.

Disturbances to this state of infinite presence are simply that: disturbances. Not permanent.  Just interruptions.  Detours.  Decide to see them as such and they resolve even faster and with grace!  Like lightening in the sky, these states of our true nature being distrubed always dissolve, settle, revealing the clarity of expansive spaciousness.  Our true nature is this infinite ground within which all forms of focus and experience arise from and dissolve into.  Nothing good or bad.  All made of the same stuff--every experience, each moment, all forms.  You are eternal, undifferentiated spaciousness.  At the very core of being you are space!  Pure potential.  Everything and nothing.  Miraculous how this space extends into endless variations of expression!

Although glimpsing and tapping into this dynamic experience initially can be disorienting and destabilizing to your way of being, this is a positive sign!  It is the experience of discovering you have been used to living with boundaries to define you.  The fact that your life can be destabalized reveals to you that you have identified with these boundaries as though they were you--you're building your understanding on a part of the illusions which is temporary and will, like that lightening in the sky--dissolve and disappear.  That you've actually maybe been using your limits to create your sense of who you are.  Once this larger persepctive emerges, you begin for periods of time to let go of this limiting idea and learn to be in expansiveness without anxiety.  Doing this, you gradually grow into an enlarged template of being and your life experience is transformed.

How do we make this change? 

We cannot grasp this with our mind, the same way the caterpillar cannot create it's own transformation by following some instruction guide.  We're not given the full picture all at once, it's too large!  It unfolds gradually and we feel our way into this. We allow ourselves to be guided from within by curiosity and in trust and with innocence.  We exist and live in a state of simultaneous anticipation and abundant delight.   The truth of our being is reflected in the microcosm...in the caterpillar, and in all cycles and metamorphosis which we see.  The creation of the butterfly, the pearl from the friction of water and sand, of fruit from flowers, of rain clouds from condensation.

Like the pearl, we too first experience a sense of "damage" to our outer edges, which initiates this process of change.  The mystery is that this revelation that our identity is an illusion, initiates the expansion into knowing our true nature.

The miracle of life is that all of life is a miracle. Know this and know ecstasy and exultation of spirit.  The miracle of life now is not only within you; it's everywhere!

becoming the jewel

by meredith murphy

It's wonderful to arrive in a place where we no longer resonate to, nor use things from the past, or things that happen to feel sad.

Any perspective we hold, any memories we amplify with focus which are the feeling energies of sadness, loss, anger, victim related, etc...just inhibit our awakening and distort our perceptions.

When we realize the illusion of this human experience, and we love it all and play here, while identifying with our eternal nature, we experience joy. We then uproot and release these limiting perspectives based on illusions, we live joyously in the present with respect for all beings. We allow everyone to live in freedom and it's thrilling to see the variety!

Our power is our focus and our choices.

When we orient to true nature of reality and perceive the world as love, allowing all variations and everything, labeling nothing as good/bad/right/wrong we live conscious of the true Oneness of everything and with a real understanding of what it means to experience human-being, we create peace, joy, happiness, harmony, oneness and love, rather then perpetuating illusions and stories/feelings/memories of loneliness, anger, lack, pain, sadness, etc...♥

As we arrive here, we each pave the way for others to join, radiating and shining our light through the lens of the unique jewel, the perfect geometric order and coherence that we have become and are continually becoming...emanating the One I AM.

 

expect wonderful digest | expand into everything

by meredith murphy

I feel, sense that the energy continues to arc and expand. Arc and expand. Arc and expand. Amazing!!! SO incredibly spacious!  Wow...is it not simply the time of times?

expect wonderful digest |expand into everything       

I invite you to expand into everything, for the nature of everything has expanded.

We approach the 11:11:11 and it is with incredible energies already in play.  I am channeling pages (literally pages) every morning...sometimes I cannot write fast enough to keep up and my hands cramp.  I am showing up with an intention to download and internalize, integrate and understand as fully as possible the many many many infusions of light coming through.  What an experience!!

I hope you have had a chance to read the piece I shared recently about the ascension process and celebrating each of us, Ode to YOU: You Were Made for This!   

 

It is by far the most popular article I have written, bar none.  Isn't that fun?  That there are so so so so SOOOOOO many of us who relate to that?  VERY cool!

 

It also continues to be so important that we see ourselves clearly and with love.  Do YOU See Yourself Clearly? is my short and very sweet (with fabulouso photo) piece on what I suggest about how you might see YOU.    

 

And as we amp up toward next week's major, I'm feeling MAJOR alignment of the 11:11:11 Stargate -Transmission - Portal...whatever it is...there is lots to be said for creating space.  Letting go and opening to be fully cleared of as much of the old energies and illusions as possible...and dare I say it?  Let Go of Your Story.  Seriously.  Why not?  You might be delighted with the outcome.  I certainly am. :)

 

All of these articles I offer you, lead up quite perfectly to the NEW! Channeled Message from Ashira which I received this morning.   It's up and available now and is titled:  

 

11:11:11 Approach Ignites the Passion of Divine Union 

 

Leading up to this too, and bridging the gap from the September Equinox, the October month of turning points to now, is the prior message from Naeshira:

 

The Big Show Anticipates the 11:11:11 Alignment   

And for all of you who have written and asked specifically about an 11:11:11 event, the answer is YES!  And I'd love for you to join.  You can read about it and all the new events for November and December on the Expect Wonderful Event Page.

I hope you're pleased when you check it out...You'll see a far-expanded offering, which is what I've been noodling around with in the ethers for the last month +

I am so happy about everything lately all I can do is ooze it out and smile.  Literally.  I am amped up and soaring with bliss and an expanded sense of meaning.  I sometimes get these tune-ups early so I can teach and write...so I am just giving you the head's up on that...

And for anyone who is really even more than knee deep in the clearing part of all of this right now, I really just want to say: THANK YOU.

Thank you for being so open and willing to do what it takes to return to wholeness.  I love you and I send you all the light and hope you might find helpful...I see you liberated and relaxed, rested and free.  

Here's to this week, and all we've experienced (everywhere!) to prepare for this!  May you each feel  the path to this mysterious opening approaching with a joyous energy and throughout each day of endless new beginnings, live with enthusiasm and (naturally) expecting wonderful...! ♥

Much love!

Meredith 

 

Aha!

All the time I thought I was doing something.
Now I see I was just remembering to be love.

resting is not doing nothing

by meredith murphy

This morning I was very inspired by an observation Nancy Ward made in her monthly Soul Transitions Vibe Report for September.  I didn't even read the whole message, because once I read the first few paragraphs, I knew that the message for me was held therein.  Nancy writes:

I’ve noticed in myself – and heard reports from other people – that there’s a feeling of ennui that many are experiencing. Feeling unmotivated, as if we’re swirling around in an eddy of energy, not going anywhere, just spinning in the same spot. To move out of this, I am receiving messages to do what is fun, what makes me feel good.

Yes!  I thought.  I feel it.  That's what I'm noodling over and prodding within myself--attempting to get a firm glimpse of this morning.

I was grateful for this mirror of my experience which tuned me in further to my own current.  I reminded myself that an eddy is not stagnant water.  When we find ourselves there we're not really doing nothing.

Looking for a photo of an eddy, I found this description on a site about kayaking:

An eddy is part of a river where there is no water flow (or in some cases there is a tiny whirlpool where the water spins in a circle). They are generally set off to the side and created by a small creek flowing into the main river in the opposite direction or there could be a blockage that forces the main flow of the water in a different direction – like a massive rock or downed tree.

A river eddy can be a lifesaver for a paddler. They offer a place to rest, relax and scout the perfect line ahead. When you’re in an eddy you shouldn’t have to paddle at all, or at least, very little because there is no water flow.

What a great reminder of the purpose of this energy I am in!

I felt this energy in August too. 

There is a profound sense of some kind of groundwork being underway.  Things being set in order, arranged.  I myself often feeling I'm stretching and warming up for re-entry into the flow of things, and sense the river will have expanded when I do so.  That what I'll enter will be the current of aliveness which flows from the leading edge of me, informed, accelerated and expanded by this time of seemingly doing very little.  It also feels like things I see and vision in my life will unfold with ease...and yet right now, there is often big-time-quiet in my inner landscape...and if I'm not appreciative of what's taking place, I can slip out of relaxation and ease and into self-judgment, feel irritated or impatient.

Oh that desire to be DOING is so strong when one is in a human body! :)

I am so appreciative of being shown again, how much I can blunder into a perspective where I measure and evaluate ME with a sense of how much I am doing.  I am grateful to release even more of this and embrace myself and my life with unconditional appreciation. 

Then I find leisure and joyous effortlessness open up even more fully.  After all, when we envision paradise, doesn't it certainly include lots of free time, a relaxing pace and the ability to flow as we like?

I love that life is teaching me the ways of the new earth. 

I have to let go and let a new vision continually expand and arise to realize what life in paradise might actually be like.  I think there is a reason sometimes people win the lottery and then don't know what to do with themselves.  Getting all that freedom requires us to enlarge our sense of what's possible and to really listen to what will give us joy!

To let go of doing and working toward this all the time--which we're SO steeped in--and shift to allowing ourselves to receive the gift of expanding freedom which we're creating and allow ourselves and our life to change.

In my life I see more and more the invitation to give myself MORE FUN.  To allow play and seemingly "un-productive" aspects of life to expand.  To see once more the straightforwardness of claiming my own divinity, and being gifted with abundant time and space as a pathway to bliss.

One of the things you don't know until it's yours, is HOW all this time and space, and ease will feel to you.  After the initial awe wore off, I find myself surprised at how often I realize I am not sure what I want or what would be the most fun.  I am being invited to continually up the ante in terms of clarifying and learning what gives me joy, and choosing that moment to moment for myself.  I am also realizing that to remove all limits to my sense of what's possible is a progressive process.  I gradually discover ways I scale down on my largest vision of joy and remove those limits.  Cultivating a new expectation which knows I can create anything I desire.  

I am also being invited to deepen my trust in the moments of not-doing, in the moments of stillness, and to lean back into the energy of life allowing my patterns of being to be as dynamic as they need to be to harmonize with the flow within me.  Some months I channel and write and teach a lot.  Some months I am very quiet in this way.  I am learning that I'm always able to continue to live well and that there is always what I need day to day, moment to moment--regardless of my activity level.  My level of experience is not dependent on my activity--it's created by my expectations.  This is fun and invogorating, as well as for me takes some practice.  As my basic wonderful needs get met with reliability...a doorway of possibility opens and I find myself sometimes a bit bored, and wondering, "What my dear Meredith one, would have you soaring and open you to even greater aliveness and self-expression?"  It pulls me out of old patterns and can be answered with the simplest of things--like lying in the front yard enjoying the sunshine--to remembering how much I liked water skiing and contemplating do I want to create this in my life once more?  This endless eternal powerful creator stuff of life, calls forth a fullness of dynamic experience of permission, creativity and stillness in ways that I am still learning to spread out into, to takefull advantage of.

It's interesting to deepen my abilities to create in collaboration with Gaia.  To feel the patterns and cycles of our planet and water--the pervasive and common element of our experience--and take clues from them as to what is also going on within me and allow myself to do so.  To know that all of life is ONE and that wherever I find myself is really deeply perfect.  To know this in a practical way--like in terms of how much money I make this month--not to separate this from my life.  Like my spiritual life is one thing and my practical wordly life is another.  They are one and the same.

The more deeply I allow myself to lean into this, the more spacious life becomes.  Then the more my old paradigm distrust of this surfaces for release and I find myself being even more awed and delighted by the newness of life that is MOST obviously being created.

Water, clearly is reshaping things.  It's the avenue that Gaia can use to alter landmasses.  In collaboration with the lunar sentience to create rhythms and cycles that are our life pulse.  With intention and choice we can replicate energy forms, or qualities of energy in water.  (As Masuro Emoto reminds us.)

This weekend I was speaking to a friend who lives in the Pacific Northwest, and she shared with me the way the abundant water there affects her--how she often feels as though she IS the water and flowing, moving, peaceful.  And yet--she finds it hard to tap into motivation to do things. 

Later in the weekend, I remembered my own hindsight observation after living in Seattle in the mid 80's.  I recalled the sense I had that had I stayed there I would have been happy, but I would likely have never accomplished anything.

What IS this about water that had this effect on me, and perhaps my friend? Or more accurately, why was I so concerned about this?  Isn't happiness the point?  Apparently for me then, it wasn't--I had gotten my priorities out of order a bit.  I cared more about doing certain things then being happy.  I think this happens more then we may realize.

Nancy shares in her post that water is rearranging us, inside and out.  I agree.  I can see now, that it is teaching us to un-learn all of the old paradigm ways of effort.  I am being guided to let go of that internal alarm which goes off and my inner voice that says, "hello there--you're not really being very productive lately."  I am getting used to just smiling at this and instead of worrying I re-assure myself that I create using my focus.  I do something fun and let the current to carry me into a convergence with my life and to trust and enjoy the spinning and languid lull of those times when I'm seemingly out of the main stream.  Recognizing the gift of these times, rather then resisting them with impatience and self-criticism.

Years ago, I was hiking in the Canadian Rockies and one day visited Johnston's Canyon in Banff.  Rushing water carves through limestone, creating amazing landforms in the relentless powerful way, only water can. 

We were walking through the canyon reading the trail signs and laughing at the repetition.  The signs kept saying, "water carving rock, rock carving water."  Over and over again throughout the trail was this refrain, "water carving rock, rock carving water."  Whoever wrote this was wise and humble.  Wise to realize it's this persistent humble quality of water which is able to cut through rock, and humble to tell the story like it is and trust us to notice the truth in the repetition, not read it as a limited ability to narrate our hike.

I see that I missed this a bit before.   Water actually IS a huge part of the life force within ME.  Relentlessly eternal.  Love filled and persistent.  Clearing, clearing, clearing.  Making way.  Opening.  This water flowing through the Bow River Valley, formed this canyon over thousands of years.  It's actually even called a "creek."  A pretty soft term for something that altered the landscape and rock, so significantly.  I am not nearly so hard as rock, imagine the effect it might have on me, especially if I yield and go with the flow.

Water is closely related to Turtle energy; slow and steady.  Turtles in Native American teaching are the oldest symbols for the planet Earth.  Turtle perspective reminds us to flow harmoniously with our situation, to not push things and to allow things to ripen.  That is the message I was reminded of by Nancy's post today.

The Turtle buries its eggs in the sand and allows the sun to hatch them.  It reminds us of the allies we have in the Sun and the Earth, and the water.

I am thankful for my confusion this morning about what was happening within me.  I love that I seek understanding when I am confused, and am appreciative of discovering more to release of the old paradigm that associates doing with happy outcomes. 

I know happiness is a fundamental.  It's not dependent on anything.  It, like love, just IS.  It's everywhere and available always.  And as resting is not doing nothing.  Things are not always what they seem.  More and more I see beyond the old paradigm collective beliefs and past the veil of the illusion, is a slowly materializing memory of paradise, and an evolving vision of my own new, modern paradise.  Life at the Ideafrontier!  Expect wonderful.

 

discernment and staying in your power

by meredith murphy

I've noticed a flurry and acceleration of activity lately.  Have you?

Just as a reminder, we're within a total re-booting of our energy system (see the digest, from August 11th).  And Mercury goes direct this week on Friday, the 26th, so perhaps we'll see more clearly and communicate with greater ease about what we're experiencing now?

There has been a lot of energy and also some significant hype about about the Mayan calendar coming in October.  In the same way that Hollywood jumped on the 2012 bandwagon, there are videos showing up all over the internet, espousing all kinds of views.  And now I am seeing several highly visible ones from websites created by people who are unidentified.  Who are "sharing" some ideas--yet unwilling to introduce themselves and commit to a viewpoint. 

This is not responsible journalism or blogging in any way.  It's so easy to put stuff out there without citing any source--and I am totally okay with one person being the source, sharing what they sense, channel or understand.  For those of you who share videos and articles with your friends, I encourage you to not feed the frenzy by just posting and circulating stuff that isn't put through your own filter of discernment first.  

In addition, channeled messages are all over the place with many different possible outcomes being portrayed.  I've seen noted channels share things that feel totally energetically different and out of resonance with me than the rest of their work.  I've received lots of emails about this and people wondering about the diversity of the messages coming forth.  Some people thought huge energy shifts happened the weekend of the 13th, some are predicting this coming weekend that a huge flip will happen.  There's a lot of stuff in the air. 

One question is, does it apply to you?

Clearly there is a lot of energy moving, a lot of change, an anticipation of further, perhaps MORE dramatic earth changes (earthquakes, days of darkness, poles flipping dramatically, disclosure, etc)

In the midst of this flurry (which may only increase), I want to remind us of the fundamentals here and encourage us to be coherent and clear.  Which is ONLY possible from anchoring with our own guidance and our inner sense of things.  We must be in and come from our own still point to know if what we read or experience is true for us, applies to us, resonates within us and in doing so has meaning for us RIGHT NOW. 

If we encounter a video, a channeled messages, a post or a energy update and we're all over the place and ungrounded when we read it, how are we to know what's true?

For me, daily grounding and meditation has become more important, and now it is happening several times throughout the day.  I am getting myself up early to make sure I have quiet time to just sit and be and listen and cultivate my field, before anyone else needs me or the day gets going. 

I am also determined right now to continually return to clarity throughout the day.  I use the Abraham-Hicks vortex meditations (15 amazing minutes) and lie down listening to them whenever I feel tense, confused or not sure what to do next or how to handle something.  I am also using simple witness meditation, that I've intuitively practiced for most of my life--I remember doing it on my own when I was about 8.  Only in hindsight understanding I was focusing on my KA body and energizing it.  See how much our own innate wisdom is right for us?

Returning to a peaceful, in-the-vortex state is always grounding, nourishing, allowing and gives rise to clarity.

There are of course countless tools for working with our energy and our consciousness.  More and more I am focused on those that are simple and direct.  There are many wisdom traditions throughout our history that have rituals and practices for connecting with our true nature and accessing wisdom.  More and more I feel to allow ourselves to approach this in a modern way--un-hooked from any tradition or dogma.  We can connect and access expansive knowing simple with intention, choice and focus.  It truly is that simple.

The month of June--the Eclipse/Solstice series that extended into mid-July, was a powerfully transformative time for the planet and us, just like the December Solstice/Eclipse series was in 2010. 

It is the procession of the Equinoxes and the Solstices which are shifting our galaxy and ultimately altering the entire nature of the cosmos. 

The Mayan Calendar, numerology, channeling and other tools and methodologies have been offered to give us a greater understanding and a way to navigate during these times.  But the best navigation is within us.  And by tuning into that, you can be assured you won't miss ANYTHING important.  Within you lies the answers to everything essential to your awakening.  The litmus test?  Does it bring your more peace?  Do you feel joyful.  Does it open your heart.  Do you feel shivers, a thrill of recognition?  Even if it's difficult, does it bring you closer to you, does it bring you more alive?  Even the difficult moments are openings potentially when witnessed with presence and gentleness.  From this comes healing and insight.

These are the ways to sense truth and you are made for this.  Claim what you know and dare to live from your own point of focus; bring your unique and valuable perspective to our shared, co-creation of the ultimate new paradigm and the graceful resolution of the old.

Remember and trust in this: amidst the plethoria of information--some of which you are well aware is just noise--there is an amazing authentic beautiful thing happening...

People of all different nationalities, ages, and backgrounds, are being drawn within.  Life, in many experiences is nudging us to embrace and orient to the same values.  We're having similar discoveries.  The awareness of the beauty of love, the interconnectedness of our planet, the divine nature of our being, the purpose of being here now--the participation in a collective awakening and the desire to re-focus on this and to expand into a new paradigm for humanity and our planet, is growing in volume and participants.

You'll notice in this great dog park pic that a diversely beautiful group of canines is doing what we're doing--being themselves and moving in the same direction.  There are probably other dogs (not pictured) sitting still or lying down and doing nothing...and others still running in another direction.  Also just part of the way the divine plan is perfectly unfolding.

I encourage you to remember the underlying source energy that flows into and gives life to all of us; we're all receiving the same fundamental impulses and calls to life.  Each of us filters these through our own lens and as such our way of talking about what's happening reflects where we are, and our own quality of perspective and awareness.

In my experience, I must draw even closer to my own heart--listening, and to my body and my inner sense of things--as the ultimate authority for EVERYTHING.  Nothing else--no other source--is capable of guiding me as well as I may care for and love myself.

The nature of our reality is varied.  There is not just one thing happening here.  Meaning there is not one earth experience; there are as many as there are points of focus.  Yes we share collective energies, but we also are an energy field which magnetizes based on our vibration, like experiences.  So each of us reads life as a reflection of our own prior focus.  Life as we know it, is simply a giant feedback system--reflecting our state of being, clearly and without distortion. 

As such we are served so beautifully exactly what we feel and expect.  And when we get otherwise, it's a wake-up call that our sense of what we've been feeling and expecting might be a little out of touch with what's really within us. 

We are each only capable of birthing the new earth by resolving the duality within ourselves.  We cannot resolve duality within others.  Let me repeat:

I CANNOT RESOLVE DUALITY IN OTHERS.  I MAY ONLY PARTICIPATE IN  BIRTHING THE NEW EARTH AND THE NEW PARADIGM BY RESOLVING DUALITY, RESOLVING EVERYTHING WITHIN ME.  CREATING TRUE PEACE--NOT AN ABSENCE OF PROBLEMS OR CONFLICT, BUT DEEP, SUSTAINED PEACE WITHIN ME. 

That's where my power is: within my own life and my own experience.

I can trust that as I do this, what is ME mirrored in the world around me and I can alter the world, from within me.  The conflict, fear, anger, aggression, hurt, distrust, critical view, in essence--distorted and wounded--parts of me that are made manifest in the world around me--will disappear and change--reflecting what I create within me.  That's it.  Therein lies my power to create the new paradigm.

We support each other in this inward journey.  We inspire.  We affirm.  We recognize one another's beauty.  We encourage.  We're brave.  We're courageous...bold even.  We open up.  We're met with friendliness and kindred souls echo our vulnerability.  We all heal. 

I see enormous love and gentleness being offered and received by people all around the world. 

The relationship we have to the planet herself is for many of us, being understood more clearly and our awareness of this soulful, valued sentient being in our experience is informing more and more our ways of being and creating.  We live appreciating and aware of her.  Love is resolving deep wounds created by old paradigms and limited perspectives. It is a glorious time to be alive.

As the flurry of activity accelerates as we approach the September Equinox, the ending of the Mayan Calendar, the 11-11-11 alignment and the entry to 2012, you, attuning to your own authentic voice and being YOU, is of enormous importance.

It alters the very nature of reality, bringing all of life into greater sincerity and wholeness.

You are beautiful, important and innately wise.  I feel you running alongside me, in your own perfect way with our eyes on the prize: the actualization of the new paradigm.  Play and enjoy yourself.  Discern from within.  Shine forth in light.  Sit still or nap when you feel like it.  Run in the other direction when you feel you need to.  Just trust yourself.  You are the most important part of this change in your life.  Aren't you just in awe of yourself?  No?  Well then there's a nice place to begin.  Yes?  Well, yummy...let's just soak this up a bit.

May we each, increasingly and consistently, see and feel through the flurry, the majestic wise sentience of our eternal being.  The eternal flame of pure love, pure potential and pure joy.  The One I AM, and the glorious expression of this in each of us.  Namaste.

being herded home

Herding is the act of bringing individual animals together into a group (herd), maintaining the group and moving the group from place to place...

Well, yes then, that's precisely what I am experiencing.

I am discovering the cowboy archetype is alive and well in Archangel Michael...as I am nudged, then pushed and then gathered up and repeatedly put on the road to my own empowerment.

Let me be clear--this is because of my choices.  And it comes to me intuitively.  It's not like being "told" what to do, or directed by another outside of me. It's strong, continual intuitive urgings that make it clear that my intentions and desires for expression in life may be fulfilled most perfectly by going in the direction I'm being drawn to led towards.  I ask for guidance in my life and I then listen to my inner wisdom.  And all of this feels like a deep and loving response to my choices for the role I wish to play and how I desire to grow and expand. 

It's all very gentle.

I am allowed to meander back to what feels comfortable, enjoying the illusion of not being moved somewhere new.  I have a few hours or days feeling like I'm settled where I am, but the my attention is being drawn and then I continually find I am focused on moving to Mt. Shasta.

I viscerally now understand the mysterious allure of Mt. Shasta.  Apparently the energies of this place are aligned with the desires of many of us to awaken and experience our fullest selves here on Earth.  I relate now to the people who say they end up there so fast and so amazingly they are stunned by it all.  One member of the Expect Wonderful tribe wrote me saying that out of the blue she felt the draw to go there, and woke up living there so fast--despite having no way to seemingly get there or finance her move--and before she knew it all kinds of things happened and there she was.  With kindness and warmth she told me she was, "holding the door open" for me.

That's good, because if I am anything like these horses above--which I feel I am--crackling with aliveness and freedom, then I will come through the gates running and at a clip and thank heaven they'll be open and prepared for me.  And so I trust. 

Of course I also stomp my feet and cry.  Even though I asked for this, it's happening quick!  And the change is big.  So I feel the intensity of this herding process--really and truly.  It is like nothing I have ever known--yesterday I saw that it's like being in a giant cosmic funnel and finally realizing it.  The extraneous things have been released and the path is clear.

It is clear that some soul group assembly is taking place and I am being summoned in response to my choices for participating in life.  I got a little grace period--first I thought I would just visit in March.  Then visit for the Summer Solstice.  Then I went up again in July--this time thinking I might move there, but the realization of a real WINTER sent me home after yet another "vacation," although truly it was a powerful initiation, as all my trips there have been, priming me energetically for the longer presence there.

And now, suddenly, there's no more goofing around allowed.  It's clear I have to be there and very soon.  Like by August 15 or so.  Because there are events happening which I clearly want to be part of, and they start right after that.  Which gives me two weeks to pack up here, store things, drive 10 hours and find a place, come back here and move whatever is needed there...Oh!  And buy a winter coat!

I am still bristling a little at being cajoled, funneled and rounded up in such a fashion.  But gradually as the deciveness of this experience shows itself, I am doing the only sensible thing I can :letting go.  What's my other option?  To go kicking and screaming?  No thanks.  To decline the opportunity of a lifetime to participate in this collective planetary unfolding.  Not a chance.  It does surprise me though how comfortable and rooted I've become here and how hard it is to let go and pull up my stakes and move and just let it unfold.  It's interesting that it's the feeling of meeting my future and it pulling me forward that is triggering resistance--as my sense of my life is being profoundly altered.

I knew after my most recent time "visit" there--in July--that life would never be the same; I had no idea what that would feel like, and it seems this is part of it.  I have caught up with my life and it's like merging with a powerful thundering beautiful horse, amidst a thundering gorgeous herd, being ushered gently, but definitely, somewhere new and the air is filled with dust, and noise and energy.

Cowboy Michael is clearly helping out by running the round-up, the head rancher here these days...to make sure we're in astro-cartographic alignment for what's next...and I hear him and others of my family like whispers in the night--explaining, giving little bits of vision and encouraging me, and the voices have grown much clearer, even while the wind from all this movement, rushes through my hair.

I feel alive, loved, supported and free.  Knowing what's happening is a manifestation of my choices and focus.  And learning to get used to, and absorb the realization of just how fast and clearly I can call forth my life.
