Endeavor to keep your head always above the fray, away from the negative energy that abounds. Keep your head filled with positive vibration by humming beautiful music and singing positive affirmations to yourself. Keep your body healthy in every way that you can, for your body is your vehicle through life and it will not fail you if you do not fail it. Oftentimes, it is very human to use the body to soothe and temper that which comes from outside. Far better to up-tune the body with movement, vibration and positivity in any way that appeals to you.
There are currents of energy coming your way that will bring you to a new level of consciousness and awakening. Be assured that this is a worldwide phenomenon, so get ready. Those who are aware, awake and able to grasp that all that is destructive is not necessarily bad will better recognize what we talk about from our side. We see more than most of you do, especially when we focus on certain aspects of life on Earth and endeavor to guide, even in subtle ways. Those who remain awake and alert, aware that there are great positive changes underway, will weather best through the times of dire need that are upon you. As we always say, remain positive and grateful, the two best attitudes to live by.
It’s not that hard to set a goal and walk toward it. Make it something simple that you want to accomplish and then do it. Make another, as equally simple, and do it. Look back each day and see how much you have accomplished. By breaking everything down into small bites—easily tackled because they do not overwhelm—you begin to piece together a new life, based on what and whom you truly desire to have in your life. If you try to gather up the entire big dream all at once, you may find that it’s too much. So, with patience, bit by bit imagine your dream and bit by bit make it a reality. And don’t forget to keep your positive affirmations alive and well!
In longing for change you give change a chance. Keep your longing focused on the positive, with the needs of the many uppermost in your mind, even as you long for personal change. If you can include the many in your prayers, your own life of prosperous change will come about more fully and with lasting staying power. Change is bound to happen but you can keep it unfolding in a positive direction by the power of your thoughts, your prayers and your desires. Focus on the beauty you wish to experience, the abundance you wish for all to partake in and the health and happiness you wish everyone to enjoy.
All of life swings back and forth, like a pendulum. Civilizations rise and fall, moods run high and then swing equidistantly low, the tide goes out and returns with equal force. This is the law of rhythm, with its inevitable cycles, as well as the law of cause and effect that insists that every action be compensated with an equal and opposite reaction.
Although we cannot stop the multitude of storms that affect our lives, we can position ourselves to neutralize their impact upon us. On the physical plane, the decision to evacuate from a coming hurricane removes us from immediate danger.
On the mental plane, reaching the place of radical acceptance for all-that-is can largely mitigate the impact of negative emotional storms upon our lives. To accomplish this, the shamans of ancient Mexico teach us to suspend judgment.
To suspend judgment means to not take offense, even when someone very intentionally targets us. Here, we seek no solace and waste no energy in excusing the offender because of some tragedy or misfortune in their lives that may have caused their actions. We fully accept the possible coldblooded intent of their behavior. We don’t seek to find forgiveness. If we are not offended there is nothing to forgive.
Shamans view all encounters in the all-that-is of human life as opportunities to hone their energy for life beyond human form, on the subtler planes of infinity. Souls that are burdened with resentments are too weighed down for subtle flight and must first take up residence in dream bardos, where they learn to lighten their load by truly letting go of all earthly strings of resentment.
Shamans use the fact that any moment could be their last in human form to arrive at an equanimous attitude of presence to every experience in life. Easy to say, but while in human form we are subjected to very powerful emotions that would have us fully drive the pendulum’s potent swing of anger right back into the heart of our offender. How do we rise above such an instinctive reaction?
My High Self immediately responded to this question by singing to me its own version of Steve Winwood’s Higher Love : “Bring me to Higher Ground!”, with the chorus belting it out louder and louder. The message, immediately channeled from my High Self, was to sing, with passion, this suggestion to my subconscious mind.
The actual lyric is, “Bring me a higher love!” My High Self ingeniously delivered two messages to catch my attention and answer my query: To rise above an instinctive reaction, going to a higher ground, and to raise my vibration to the spiritual level of non-attachment, to the place of higher love.
When we raise our consciousness to the positive vibration of love we avoid the impact of the pendulum’s swing to the negative pole of hatred. We let that negative swing pass by, refusing to participate in its call for vengeance. We neutralize the consuming impact of negativity upon our raised ego state. Of course, we might need to take firm action, but it won’t be emotionally driven from negativity, but rather from the clarity of objectivity.
This exercise of the will, to shift its fixation from the negative to the positive poll, is accomplished, in this instance, by singing, with powerful emotional exuberance, the suggestion to the subconscious mind to manifest a landing on the higher ground of love.
Once the subconscious receives the suggestion, we experience calm and clarity, as we employ our intuition and reason to guide us to action. All we truly need is love.
