“Your Empowered Future Self” – Richard’s Commentary

You may have noticed the last few posts here have been about “time” – especially about the future! Last Friday I posted my recording from Rosemary’s Conversation with The Other Side this month during which three Floating Heads appeared to her with a message for me from the future. And in a second message an elegant Native American woman from the past came to me with advice on the nature of body and spirit. (If you missed this recording you can get it here.)

You can bet I’ve been thinking and writing a lot about the nature of time during these last days of 2012! And here, for your entertainment and consideration are some of those thoughts:

1)    This from the Floating Heads – yes, I am now listening to them and writing what they have to tell me as they directed in their message to me. Wrapping my head around all of this has been both fun and provoking. After listening again to the recording, I wrote: “I need to listen to the recording again because it is deep. The part about creating form for the future, which is formless, out of the present, bringing the vision for that future into the present is no simple exercise in understanding. I think it is a parallel to indigenous understanding of past/present/future, especially in cultures with no ‘to be’ verbs. So I know that the present is an echo of both the past and the future. The future comes into the present to shape both from nothingness. We, right now in this moment, are a reflection of some future that is coming “back” to us. We are the mirror image of that future. And I think this is part of what the Floating Heads are “here” to tell me. This certainly seems to align well with what Martín Prechtel is teaching.

“So, the future and present are in one sense, one thing, one time. They are two ends of a vibration. And so is the past. Or maybe past and future are the two ends and the wave crest is the present. If I draw it, it might look like a wave:
past-present-future curve
but that wave is also a particle of time, a pinpoint with all nodes joined in an extra-dimensional way. My Floating Heads are asking me to bring their messages out into the world so there is form that can materialize for them 500 years hence.

“One thing I am curious about is the dependency. If they are from a distant system how are we connected and what significance does our existence, survival, have for them?

“As I recall the message I am to bring their messages from the future into our present so their future can take form; their very existence in their present seems to depend on this!”

2)   Later I wrote: “I wish I could get the true sense that time is a particle and encapsulating past, present, future all right here in each moment. Perhaps then I would be less time-conscious and content to live in each moment letting the particle dance as it will across the field.

“Time is like an echo-chamber with the present right in the center and the past and future each equally reverberating back from the walls. And each present event ripples through the currents affecting both the past and future. There is a resonance set up where the interacting waves of time both interfere with and amplify other ripples. My actions, thoughts, energy ripple out from now to reach back and have a causal effect on what happened yesterday. And the ripple reaches forward to have a causal effect on what happens tomorrow.

“This is why lessons and forgiveness are so important. This is the impact of changing curses to blessings (as Martín would have us do). It is never too late to take action because we can affect the past. And it is never too early to take action now because we modify the future with each of those actions.”

Enough for now. It is essential to get this concept of time, to think like the indigenous peoples who live natural lives within a much greater context of what life, time, the present really mean.

Does any of this make sense? I did tell you things were going to take a different turn in this blog once I posted the recording!

Reach out to your future self who you visualize as an extraordinary and empowered human being; bring back that power and embed it firmly in your solar plexus. And then consider the nature of time and the nature of duality and union.

EXPLORATION: “Your Empowered Future Self”

Where do you think your empowerment energy comes from?  Have you ever thought about that question?

I’ve been doing a lot of mini-readings at networking events lately and it seems a lot of people are busy judging themselves harshly because they are not where they want to be in life.  They feel they don’t have the money, success, power, business/career, relationships that they desire.  And they believe that there must be something wrong with them if that is the case.

Some new age folks say that you create your own reality and so you created the mess you’re in now.  That’s not the whole picture, though, so you can stop blaming yourself for the problems you think are your reality.

The real truth is that you have been in your Life School for your whole life and your lessons have been coming at you in the classroom of life every day.  You’ve been given many opportunities to learn the same lesson in different ways.  Your circumstances have been altered to get your attention to be focused on learning the next lesson in the syllabus so you can move on.  That’s it.  That’s true for everyone.

Now we get to what is going on that is not up to the standards you wish for yourself and your life.  Somewhere along the way you worried about something that had not happened.  You reached out from the moment in which you had the thought, out into the future, and pulled back that possibility.  And then you energized it by worrying about it happening, maybe even over and over.

Have you ever said to yourself, ‘I hope X doesn’t happen!’?  Or ‘There’s nothing I can do’?  Or any number of other statements that are disempowering?  What do you think you just did?  You reached out into the field of possibilities and pulled in the one you didn’t want to materialize and you gave it energy.  Your unconscious mind had to make a picture of that eventuality in order to make sense of the thought and then it filed it away.  Then you thought some more about how you didn’t want it and you pulled that picture out of the file and re-energized it.  That’s how worry works.

We’ve all done it.  And we’ve all manifested that which we’ve worried about, so stop beating yourself up!  You taught yourself a valuable lesson!  The only problem is that you haven’t, until now, recognized what the lesson was.

When you reach into the future to bring in a possibility and energize it, make it the possibility that you WANT to have happen, not the one you are worried about that you don’t want.  Visualize the event, circumstance, happening as if it is right now, right here.

Reach into the future and pull into your own Solar Plexus the empowerment that you want to feel.  It’s available to you.  Sometimes we have given away so much of our power that we don’t know how or where to find it.  This is a good technique for accessing and energizing your own empowerment.

Allow yourself to see only the future reality in which you are strong, decisive, empowered.  Bring that view into your Solar Plexus, your own energy center, your power center, and anchor it there.  Then, any time you feel yourself starting to worry, put your hand over your power center [in your belly] and reactivate that vision of your Empowered Future Self.

You have the power to create your own reality and, up to now, everything has been perfect for you to learn the lessons you needed to learn.  NOW pull back any energy that you have sent into the future and feel your empowerment.

It’s a gift from your Empowered Future Self!

EXPLORATION: “How Far is Your Reach?”

Entrepreneurs will be thinking of their businesses when they see this question. A Mom might think of the impact her parenting will have on the future of her children. A doctor might be considering the families of patients they have treated. What are your thoughts about your reach?

None of us lives in isolation from others. We are all connected. People often feel disconnected from others and alone, but this is the illusion that our minds create within us. You are never disconnected – you might only believe, mistakenly, that at this moment you are not connected to any others. But this fallacy masquerading as the truth will only cause you to isolate yourself further.

Do you have family members? You are connected. Do you have neighbors? You are connected. Did you ever go to school? You are connected to classmates no matter how long ago you were in the classroom. Do you have a doctor? Dentist? Insurance agent? Friend? Book Group? Favorite restaurant?

Every person with whom you come into contact has a connection to you. The Hawaiians call this an ‘aka cord,’ a silvery thread of energy that is created when you connect with someone. Sometimes these cords are powerful energy connections and sometimes they are weak. Some have positive effects and others are energy drains. They can last a very long time.

In my coaching/counseling work I am often helping clients to cut these cords and reclaim their own energy, their power. But the cords that support the highest good of both parties get energized and enhance the connection.

Even when you are not aware of a connection to a particular person, you are connected to all of humanity. When you took your first breath of life at your birth you became a human being and a part of the human consciousness that lives on Mother Earth. Your actions have consequences. Your thoughts have effects. Your energy emanates outward, whether you pay attention to that or not.

Think about someone you love and your heart opens up and the energy can reach out 50 feet from you. I recently demonstrated this at a talk I gave about our energy bodies. My subject was my husband, Richard [a good sport!] and I asked him to think about a problem he was working on. Then I measured his energy field with dowsing rods. It was very close to him. This is the brain energy field. Then I asked him to open his heart and send out Love. The building was too small for me to back up enough to reach the end of his energy field, the energy emanating from his heart center.

Now, think about how, if you open up your heart before you walk into a room, you are sending out Love energy for 50 feet ahead of you. You can connect with everyone in a room this way, with the wonderful, high-vibration energy of Love.

If you interact with people from a place of Love, especially when you start with Love for yourself, your connections will be strong and energetically beneficial. When you spend any time with thoughts that are not at this vibration, you are hurting yourself more than anyone else or any other situation. This is why the power of positive thoughts is to benefit YOU!

You have connected with people from all walks of life, from many different locations, all ages, beliefs, nationalities. And those cords that connect you reach beyond space and time. Keep only the ones that are for your highest good. Cut those that no longer serve you. But know that there are others around the globe who are radiating Love and you are connected to them.

This might sound tricky and I’m happy to help you make sure your own energy field is clear. Just remember that you are not alone on the Planet Earth. Monitor your thoughts and the energy radiating from you. Make yourself a beacon of Light and Love in the world. And know that you are also the recipient of Light and Love from many who wish that for you!

I know I wish you to connect with Light and Love!

“Writing” a Commentary from Richard

As I’ve written here before one of my practices to seek inner guidance is from The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. In her book she recommends several practices; the key one I’ve adopted is to write 3 pages of “stuff” long-hand, every morning; these are called “morning pages.” I’ve actually been following this practice for many years; I have stacks of notebooks filled with my scrawl! And, no, I don’t get to this practice every single day. And there are stretches of time when I lapse and don’t write for days, even weeks. But I do very much benefit from the practice when I am disciplined in doing it.

I don’t always get to my practice first thing in the morning either; today it was 3:00 pm! But I do know that the day goes much better after I write so I do most days get to my writing position after yoga, qigong and tea in the AM.

I make a ritual of this practice and embed it in other rituals. Rituals are like good habits; they are both comforting and support the discipline. I light a candle on my alter (see my post last week) and I light incense to clear me, the alter, the space and the writing (including my decks of cards for divination). Then I sit cross-legged with a pillow to support the notebook. I also use a nice fountain pen; this is obviously not a requirement but I like fine tools!

I sit and write the three pages straight through. The content is not always noteworthy; in fact it rarely is! This is not the point; Cameron’s point in doing this practice is to clear the mind, clear the clutter from sleep, dreams, any junky thoughts, unprocessed emotions, mental cobwebs that might otherwise get in the way of clearer, more creative writing. Most often my pages begin with a dump of this kind of mind-trash. But I’m finding with the years of practice this often only takes a page or even some days just a few lines. Then I can get down to more meaningful inquiry.

So, I do use these pages to go inside, to meditate through the use of words, to let my mind go and my writing to follow the thoughts as they come. While Rosemary is a clairaudient and a clairvoyant my information comes through word flow; I don’t hear the words or see them, they just seem to form almost of themselves when I am in that clear space of receiving. I wish I could say this happens for me every day! But it does happen often enough to be extremely rewarding.

After I write out my three pages I then draw two cards from two decks of cards, as I’ve written here before. I write a half-page of notes about each card, what I think it means for me and the energies of the day. This fills my fourth page of writing for the day and these paragraphs are always meaningful (I’ve cleared the clutter with the pages). I use a separate, slightly nicer journal to record these divinations; and I use a better pen (more of the ritual).

And some days I am motivated, inspired to write a poem – a third writing practice I use. And on Mondays I’ve begun sharing some of my poems here on the blog.

I’d love to hear from you about your writing practices. What works for you? Have you tried “morning pages”? Please comment!

Meanwhile, “write-on.”

MUSE-INGS: Step into the Flow

Sometimes I think we’re all striving to achieve something that will allow us to say, ‘I have arrived!’ when what we really want to do is be so in the flow that we are enjoying each moment too much to stop and ‘arrive.’

This is the journey we were born to experience. Every step along the way has the gift of a lesson to be learned, some more gentle than others. But always there is an opportunity to learn. If we resist, if we try to stand our ground in the face of the energy of flow, we spend all of our energy in futile resistance. [Just ask any Trekkie and you will hear, ‘Resistance is futile’!]

It’s easy, though, to move to the two extremes of the concept of ‘being in flow.’

For some, it seems easier to ‘go with the flow’ and relinquish all power to choose the direction of life. For others, there is an urge to constantly resist or try to ignore the energy of the flow, the ‘ostrich syndrome.’ Neither choice makes life the journey of fulfillment that it can be.

When, instead, we choose to determine our Soul Purpose and then to follow the path of fulfilling that purpose, we are participating in the flow of life.

No one’s path is the same as another person’s. This needs to be emphasized, especially when we get into relationships and try to make the relationship move as two people in lockstep trying to move forward as one. Each of us must determine our own path, our own cycle, our own rhythm. And we must take responsibility for taking the actions that keep us in flow with our unique path.

Giving over your power to another person, group, institution, church takes you out of step with your Path of Soul Purpose. Making a conscious choice, however, to join paths with others at certain points along the journey, is your prerogative. But th e choice must be a conscious one, not one in which you allow yourself to step onto someone else’s path because you are not seeking your own. Your Path is Your Path, based on your unique Soul Purpose and Soul Journey.

When your life cycle seems to be at an ebb it is sometimes tempting to allow someone else to take charge of the direction of your path, but this is giving away your power.

Face the direction of your dreams and you will see the Path of Your Soul Purpose unfolding before you. Step onto that path. Have confidence that, when you are moving with the flow of the cycles of your life, you will have everyone around you that you need, all the resources that you need, all the opportunities to learn your lessons.

And if you are unhappy with where you are at the moment, remind yourself that ‘this, too, shall pass’ as the new cycle will begin soon!

Most of the clients I work with as a coach are in some period of transition in their lives, feeling that there must be something more or that there is something that is just beyond their reach. Usually the work is connecting them to their guidance so that they can step out confidently, thinking only about the next step, what is theirs to do in this present moment. This is learning to get into flow.

Focus on the one next step along the Path. Know and recognize the Path of Your Soul Purpose, then follow it.

Go with the flow! But first learn the flow for you!

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Cycles, Rhythms and YOU!

Cycles. Rhythms. Seasons.

Everything in your world is made of energy and energy has a flow inherent in its properties. Nothing can sit still within the flow.

You can try to stand perfectly still and let the world around you flow by. But you will be resistance in the unfolding of all that is surrounding you and it will take a lot of energy for you to resist flowing with the energies as they move.

Some people try to resist and even to move backward against the current of the flow, but they can be swept away by the tide when it overpowers them.

Flowing with the cycles of energy provides the choice that contains the least resistance, preserving much of your own energy for you to consciously choose to allocate to other endeavors. This does not mean that you give over your own personal power to what is happening around you. Rather you go within yourself to connect to the energy flow that is appropriate to you and your Path of Soul Purpose.

The steps to living within the flow are easy to master. First, you must learn to tap your own inner wisdom for guidance about the direction that is in consonance with your Path of Soul Purpose. Are you clear about your Soul Purpose? Do you know who you were born to be at this time on Planet Earth? When you know the direction that allows you to fulfill your purpose, you have the context from which to evaluate the guidance you receive from your inner wisdom.

Do you know how to access your inner wisdom? Meditation, journaling, guided imagery, hypnosis, and other tools of inner exploration will put you in touch with your own inner wisdom for the guidance that shines a light on your Path. With the information you receive, you are ready to move forward.

After you have received inner guidance about the direction of your path, you must then take action in that direction. It is not enough to know where you are headed. If you don’t put one foot before the other and move, you will be standing in that current resisting the flow. The next step to living within the flow is an actual step.

Step out in the direction you have determined is yours to follow. Move. Take guided action. FEEL the sensation of being in the flow of energy that will carry you forward. Each step brings you closer to allowing the current to carry you so with the steps you take you can relax and allow yourself to be supported on your journey.

The cycles of Life lift you up and sometimes allow you to slow, just as the waves of the ocean come into shore and then recede. When you are flowing with Life you do not resist the periods that are slow – you allow yourself to make the conscious choice to be in that perfect state. Just as the seasons of the year invite you to act differently so that you can stay in alignment with the differing energies of each season, so the cycles of your Life, of the Conscious Life, invite you to make the choices that are most appropriate to the energies within that cycle.

Be active when the guidance suggests that you are active. Be still when the energies invite you to go inside. Move slowly or quickly as you are guided.

The more you practice understanding the energy of your own flow the smoother will be your passage through the cycles, rhythms and seasons of your Life!

And so it is.

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Your Power is in this NOW!

Dear Ones,

Open your heart to your old self. Forgive all that has gone before this moment in your life. Allow your life to be the unfolding moment in which you find yourself now, right now, in whatever may be your circumstance, your location, your relationships. NOW is the most precious gift you can give yourself.

If your heart is heavy because of things in the past you are taking energy away from the NOW. If you are worried about things that might happen in the future you are taking away energy from the NOW. If you are angry or hurt or upset about something that someone else has done in the past or that you did or did not do, then you are giving away your power in the NOW to a time that cannot truly hold a claim on this moment. If you are anticipating something that has not materialized yet you are giving away your power from this moment NOW.

Stop and breathe in the present moment. Allow all of your consciousness to flow into this moment NOW. Open your heart to the YOU in the NOW. No matter where you are sitting or standing or walking, no matter who the people are who surround you or whether you are alone, no matter what the other events and circumstances of your day might be – PAUSE, BREATHE, and LOVE YOURSELF JUST AS YOU ARE IN THIS PRESENT MOMENT.

All of your power exists within you NOW. All decisions that must be made are existing within you with all of the wisdom that you can access NOW. All of your relationships depend on the consciousness that you hold about yourself NOW.

Your Soul knows your Purpose and your Heart knows your Path. Together you have all that you need to have to exist fully in and through this moment NOW.

Think about that statement. You have all that you need to exist fully in and through this moment NOW. BREATHE. All wisdom is within you. All that you need for NOW is here in this moment with you. Hold that thought and love yourself.

Too often it is easier to focus attention on something in the past or something that might or might not appear in the future, when the true gift you give yourself is to be fully present in the moment NOW. Take the breath that connects you to the NOW in which you find yourself. Breathing the air of Mother Earth connects and grounds you in the moment that made you a human being – your first breath of Mother Earth’s atmosphere, when you were no longer a part of your biological mother but became a human being on the surface of your Mother Earth.

Being fully human means that you stay connected to Mother Earth through breathing her atmosphere, her vital air, into your body and connecting yourself to your life on the Earth plane. Bring your consciousness into this moment to take full advantage of all that exists in the NOW for you. Expand your awareness around you to absorb all that surrounds you. Revel in the gift of the NOW.

Love yourself in the NOW. Forget and forgive yourself in the past. Allow the future to unfold as it will, as a carpet of new NOWs ready to welcome you into their gifts.

Your power is yours right NOW!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: “No power in the ‘Verse…”

As fans of Joss Whedon’s ‘Firefly’ sci fi series we love the quotes from that clever TV show. When I think of an unstoppable power in the Universe, it’s Love.

How many phrases are there in our cultures that talk about Love?

“What the world needs now is Love, Sweet Love”

“Love makes the world go ‘round”

“All you need is Love”

The list goes on. And it is not just the fantasy of romantic love that is spoken of, but the unconditional Love of acceptance, non-judgment, tolerance, blessing.

Yet so many are angry, fearful and lash out at others in hatred. Why must we have laws against ‘hate crimes’? When did humans decide that they have the right to end another’s life because they don’t like them? Why is hatred/vitriol/anger the coin of the realm in talk radio? Why are so-called reality shows only supported if they include anger and drama and win/lose energies? Is this really what we want 21st Century humans to be identified with?

Think deeply about how you might contribute to this energetic in the world today. You don’t have to belong to the Ku Klux Klan to hold hatred in your heart. You don’t have to be the angry radio talk show host who fuels the anger and hatred of others by spouting vitriol, often based on lies but then the truth doesn’t matter either.

You just have to support this. Either by being a viewer/listener to increase the frequency of this energy being transmitted or by sending out your own energy of anger and hatred into the air around you. And you increase the power of this energy by ignoring that this is what is being transmitted out into the Cosmos from your Planet.

Think about living a Conscious Life, where you are careful of your own thoughts, emotions, words. You choose carefully how you live in relation to other people and to Mother Earth herself. You Love. And maybe you need to increase the energy of that Love so that you are a counteracting force for the Light.

When you become conscious that you are closing down, shutting the doors on your radiating Love energy, then ramp it up. Every time you think of what is written here, open your heart and send some Love energy into the Universe. When you are in discussion with another person, energize Love in the conversation. When you are in a disagreement, surround yourself with the Light of Love so that your words will be filled with that vibration and will not devolve into words of anger or lower vibrations.

Think thoughts of Love. You do not need to walk around in la-la land but the hippies of the 60s had a good idea about sharing the Love. “Make Love Not War” is more than a bumper sticker!

Choose to be the transmitter of Love out into the ‘Verse. We can counteract all those other energies by being conscious of the impact of our own transmissions. Let’s tell the rest of the Cosmos that not all humans live in fear, anger and hatred. Those of us who have chosen to live a Conscious Life are transmitting the energy signature of Love!

There’s ‘No power in the ‘Verse…’ as strong as Love!
