So Many Choices

I was in a bit of a rush to put the last post up, so I feel the need to expand on what I wrote in “Alert”.  The energy has certainly settled down in the last few days, but the push is still on.  I don’t think that it will be letting up any time soon. 

In the last post I wrote about the increasing number of distractions facing us lately.  I described the graduation birth canal as now being somewhat  twisted and having many new doors that open into an unknown series of possibilities.  Our evolution forward is not a straight shot to victory.  It is more like a maze to be traversed.  I am now proposing that the recent heavy and somewhat confusing energy that has shown up is a result of the synthetic matrix’s efforts to keep us contained and keep our energy levels down.  One could look at this as just another in a series of roadblocks thrown in our way. 

Each day may contain a sometimes baffling series of choices that we need to make.  Scientific studies have shown that if a person is presented with more than several choices, the reaction is to make no choice, or at best, a poorly thought out choice that does not serve.   There is confusion and dissatisfaction with the whole process.  Progress is not made.  Stagnation can be the result. 

To keep things really simple, we can boil these choices down to the ones that take us towards the synthetic matrix, or the ones that keep us on the organic path.  We live in a world of polarity and the synthetic vs. organic theme is the biggest polarity that we deal with on a daily basis. 

How does one know the difference?  For me, the organic path is so much simpler as it is directed by my heart and soul and my internal connection to my Higher Self.  It is self affirming, peaceful and natural.  No muss, no fuss, and with a nice flow to it.  The firm connection to these aspects of self dictates choices for the highest good of the self and for harmonious interactions with the surrounding world.  The physical body also feels good on the organic path. 

The synthetic path is so much more complicated, and has a myriad of choices built into it to add to the confusion and entrapment.  It is more a world of the mind and driven by one’s inner wounds until such time as those wounds are healed.  Here is where we encounter the many distractions placed in front of us to entrap and divert us.  The most significant of these right now are all of the technological gadgets that vie for our attention, the news agendas as promoted by the mass media, religious dogma, world politics and the big business of health care.  Keep in mind that at a basic level, these are not the problems but the solutions fed to us for the managing of the already created problems and their associated agendas. 

Have you ever heard of the acronym KISS?  Keep It Simple Stupid.  I would say that that policy definitely applies here.  The organic path is simple, direct, uncomplicated and life affirming at all times.  It requires surrendering to your heart, soul and Higher Self, as they know how to follow the organic path.  When mind gets involved, things tend to go awry as one’s mind is very much connected to the synthetic matrix and can be driven by the wants and needs of the lower self.  Mind is much more likely to choose the synthetic matrix pathway to satisfy its needs.  

This is a singular path and not suitable for everyone on the planet at this time.  Many will need more 3D experience before graduating.  That is as it should be.  For the rest of us, be the observer and use your discernment at all times when making choices.  KISS!  Be alert and notice the traps set in front of you to pull you off of your path.  Even then, slip ups will occur.  Don’t beat yourself up about that.  The other side is very cleaver.  If you go through the wrong door, just come back and return to the organic.  It’s all in the learning that we are here to do. 

Alert

The energy has felt off to me since Monday, and I had just assumed that I was still recovering from having my guest here last weekend.  The off feeling has continued so I looked into it a bit today.  I do not have the full picture but thought it wise to give a heads up on what I am sensing.

We must be getting close to a big change in our evolution, as it appears that the game has just been amped up.  What I am seeing is that more and more roadblocks are being put in our way almost as if the graduation birth canal is being twisted and narrowed.  Side channels are appearing in such a way that the straight forward path has become harder to find.  Doors are appearing where they didn't exist previously, and most of those doors lead to dead ends. 

Distractions, both personal and global, are constantly vying for our attention.  My weekend guest was one of the personal distractions designed to take me off of my path momentarily.  Another friend of mine wondered why I was not as worked up about the kidnapped girls in Africa as she was.   Another distraction, as we don't know the whole story because of the mass media agendizing of the news.  These are just 2 examples of how this works.

Now is the time to keep to the straight and narrow and have your radar fully operational.  Do not let anything pull you from your path.  Be awake and aware and make appropriate choices in a conscious manner.  Clean up your interactions with other people and keep your eyes open.  Do not get caught in the web of deception now trying to entrap you.  For this post, I used a photo of a lighthouse from my recent trip to Scotland to symbolize the inner guidance that each of you have that will enable you to steer clear of the rocks that lay in wait to sink your ship.  It is a time for the separating of the wheat from the chaff.  Which will you be? 

As I am writing this, a big rain storm has come up.  Google has also tried to disconnect me several times.  I will post now so that I do not lose this information.  Later.   

Entitlement

Monday morning here has started out in a pretty sluggish manner.  I had a house guest for the past few days who is an energy vampire with a big sense of entitlement.  Always wanting to be the center of attention.  After some initial schmoozing on the first night, my cat hid out in my bedroom for the rest of the weekend.  That’s got to tell you something!  I took a 5 mile walk around the neighborhood this morning and am getting back to my old self.  Zumba tonight will definitely help.

The topic of finances has been on my mind, especially in relation to my clients.  Each client needs an issue to work on during their session, and quite often, the issue is financial.  Sometimes they would like to make more money, but more often, they just want to have increased prosperity in general.  Sometimes, the client is engaged in businesses or jobs that clearly will not support them, but they are not willing to go after something else or make a change.  

I ran a dental office for many years, and grew to realize that there is a certain mind set that goes along with the consciousness of lack and limitation.  You wouldn’t think so, but the consciousness of entitlement often goes along with this.  If a patient wanted a special payment plan tailored to their limited financial needs, that was the person who inevitably failed to make their payments and was turned over to the collection agency.  If a person arranged an after hours appointment, they were very likely to miss that appointment.  The client that gave me all of the trouble last week first approached me to do sessions on herself and her son, and wanted a discount because there were two of them.  Talk about entitlement!

Even when starting out in my healing practice, I never gave discounts or took just a donation or used a sliding scale for session fees.  I prefer to be straight forward with finances.  Even so, I still run into an occasional snafu with a client, as in what happened last week.

So where does this sense of entitlement come from?  Certainly there can be financial difficulties that come up in life, but I find that the lack and limitation issues can be more of an attitude and what I call a “lifestyle”.   There may have been a deprived childhood with poverty, abuse or neglect at play.  A person may find that they are living a life where they have to fight for every financial advantage that they can get.  But where does the attitude come from that they are entitled to something just because they want it? 

I believe that entitlement is driven by the beliefs, attitudes and family patterns generated around lack and limitation.  At a basic level, these beliefs have been created by the perception that our connection to our Infinite Source in spirit is missing or defective.  

These unhealed patterns from childhood drive behaviors that indicate that one truly believes that they are deprived and in turn have to go overboard to get whatever they feel that they have been deprived of.  This is human nature!  We live in a world of polarity, and a person can flop back and forth between the two ends of the spectrum before hopefully coming to the center point of an issue.  That is when the issue is transcended.  Unfortunately, a lot of people go to the opposite polarity of a particular issue, in this case the lack of abundance and prosperity, and get stuck there for life.  This is how misers and hoarders are created. Energy vampires, too. 

Of course, there are many other distortions of the financial lack and limitation theme such as gamblers, spendthrifts, compulsive lenders, cheapskates, shopping addicts, thieves, shoplifters, big spenders, embezzlers, collectors, and on and on.  Notice that I am for the most part talking about either issues with money or material possessions here.  If you translate all of these into energy flows, you can see how distorted our interpersonal relationships can get emotionally with these patterns in play.  Same thing. 

Once a person resolves these lingering childhood issues, there is more trust in the natural abundance and prosperity that is our birthright as human beings on earth.  There is a knowing that we are always  connected to our spirit, our Source and Higher Self.  We just know that we are taken care of and always have whatever we need.  One clue for this is that when one is in their groove so to speak, life just gets better and easier.  There is more of a natural flow.  Not that struggles won’t come up, but you feel supported to acknowledge those struggles and move through them much easier.  There is a sense of trust that you will receive what you are meant to have when you are to have it.  The grasping that is driven by entitlement just doesn’t happen.  

Now, where did my house guest get her sense of entitlement and the attitude that if she wants something, she deserves to have it no matter how much trouble she causes to get it? Perhaps she will get around to examining this issue one day. 

Oh Mama Again!

There is a situation going on here that I have been hesitating to write about because it is a personal matter.  I decided to go for it now because my experience may be of assistance to one of you facing a similar issue.

For the past several days I have been harassed, maligned and threatened by a client who didn’t like her Quantum Sphere Healing session and wanted me to refund her fee.  She has sent multiple e-mails in this regard.  I did not respond to any of them as she was also pursuing financial restitution through PayPal and her bank.  PayPal sided with me, but her bank did not, so the refund was sent through today.  I am assuming that the harassment will stop now, but one never knows. 

I have been searching my consciousness as to first of all why she had such a bad reaction to the healing work, and secondly, what the meaning of all of this is for me and my healing practice.  As those of you who have worked with me know, I give each and every session my all and do not mince words when I give my client a report at the end of the session.  Except for just a few clients that I have worked with in the past many years, everyone is accepting and appreciative of the work, even though they may not either understand it or agree with everything.  Even those in that category understand that work was done on their behalf and that they have made a shift for the positive.

Last year I wrote a post entitled “Oh Mama” in which I talked about the many problems one can have with mother issues and what the causes for these issues may be.  As I have worked through my mother issues, I have gotten fewer to almost no clients and students projecting their mother issues on me.  This is as it should be, as our unresolved issues are mirrored to us from other people. As we resolve, we get less and less of that coming back at us.

This week’s events fell into the mother category.  Even though my client’s issue did not relate to her mother directly, those issues certainly got triggered for her during the session, as her e-mails all had to do with the “mother” issue in a variety of indirect ways.  Somehow in my imagination I expect a client to hold up a sign that says “I’m touchy.  Treat me with kid gloves.  Please mother me”.  Those with unresolved mother issues do need special handling at times, but I think that I missed the clues with this one.  So I have revisited my own lingering mother issues and resolved more of that for myself. 

It is not unusual for other issues to be triggered for a client during a session.  Most of my people recognize that and with the homework that I give for post session work, have the tools to work through any distress that comes up.  In my ideal world I would be working with spiritually evolving clients who know how to articulate and own their issues, and who are interested in clearing the blocks to their spiritual evolution.  That would be really juicy and productive work for both of us.  How rewarding would that be!!! 

Meandering

I spent a good part of this weekend meandering up in the mountains looking for mushrooms.  Many hours, in fact.  It was so nice up there yesterday that I lingered longer than I normally would.  What a nice way to take a break from life as it usually is.

Normally when I hike, I am on a mission to go faster and further than the time before on a particular trail.  With mushroom hunting, that doesn’t work.  You have to walk slowly while keeping your eyes on the ground, as mushrooms like to hide. You also have to go off the trail and bushwhack around.  Meandering is the style.

I don’t mean aimless wandering about, either.  You must keep your eyes on the ground in a concentrated way while at the same time being aware of everything around you.  Like an impending mountain lion attack or maybe getting ready to fall off of a cliff.  Just kidding! 

Here is a great story about finding mushrooms.  Last year in early September, I decided to take one last trip into the mountains to see if I could find any late mushrooms.  I did get a few and had a delightful hike, too.  I was on the last stretch of trail heading for the road when a hippie-ish young man popped out of the woods next to me.  That was the first surprise, as there were no other people there on that day.  He was also carrying a silver bucket filled with what looked like black pine cones. 

He seamed unusually cheerful and full of energy.  We struck up a conversation and I asked him about what was in the bucket.  Not pine cones but black chanterelles.  Now, this kind of mushroom was totally new to me, as the chanterelles that I pick are orange.  No wonder he was excited.

He proceeded to tell me that he and his girlfriend had been camping out of his pickup truck and were specifically looking for the black chanterelles.  On more than one occasion while they were driving around in the woods, she would suddenly yell out “stop, they’re calling me.”  He would stop, she would jump out and come back a while later with some of the mushrooms.  It worked every time.  I guess you could call this shrooming by intuition. 

As we continued our conversation, I found out that this was also his method for finding them.  He tuned into their vibration and waited until they called to him. He then followed the call.  I offered to trade some of my boletes for his black chanterelles, but he just gave me a few to take home and try.  They were delicious but it was kind of strange eating mushrooms the color of black licorice. 

Now, why was this such a big deal?  After I got home, I looked them up.  Not only were the black chanterelles not in my Colorado mushroom book, but they were not listed in any book that I had.  I had to look them up on the Internet.  On top of all that, their common name is Trumpet of Death. I ate them anyway!!!   I do not know if I would call them rare over all, but certainly rare for Colorado.  

There is a way that we can apply this “listening” method to everyday life.  Suppose that you misplace your car keys somewhere in your house.  Instead of running around like a nut looking for them, try attuning to their energy and waiting until they call you to them.  It is also important to still your mind or else you may not hear the call.

I actually used this method yesterday to find some of the orange chanterelles. While standing on the trail near a likely habitat where they might be found, I attuned to their energy, and then waited in silence.  I did not “hear” the call so much with my inner hearing, but my physical eyes meandered around and settled on a spot.  “Look there!”  Sure enough, there they were. 

So I guess we could call all of this “meandering with a purpose.”  Eyes open, mind relaxed and consciousness expanded.  It just occurred to me that this would also put one into the “everywhere and everywhen” of the quantum field.  Unlimited access to all.  No more lost car keys!
