You Believe What you See

One of three central themes for the year is alignment, as I wrote in the 2012 predictions. While we are always in alignment with something, as this is the mirror of our reality, we will start questioning whether what we are in alignment with reflects the best use of our energetic resources. Alignment flows from our beliefs and what we see around us and there is a continuous in and out flow of energy that accepts or rejects, confirms or denies our reality and what we are aligned with.

Our reality simply mirrors our thoughts and yet we give it so much more power. We believe that since it is in our reality it must be true and the thought that it could be an illusion that we change at will, like putting our hand in a still pool and creating a multitude of ripples, seems inconceivable. Yet it is not what we see that is the true, it is our beliefs about it that give it a permanent place in our illusion. We believe what we see and yet, it is what we believe that creates what we see.

Poverty consciousness, for example, is reflected in our financial situation. The reality is we may not have any money but it's a reality that is a reflection of our internal messages about abundance, deserving, worthiness and self love. So the poverty we experience in any moment is what we see but that is only because we believe that this is what we should see. Then it's time for us to change the illusion, by aligning with new beliefs and thoughts that are focused on prosperity and this creates a new kind of alignment. Until we do that, we are aligned with our poverty consciousness and that is what we will create for ourselves.

That's why intention is our key to mastering the powerful energies of 2012 which demand our full commitment to our life path and co-creation. While we ask for power and want to be powerful, we hesitate when we realize the full implications of what that means. It demands responsibility, integrity and of course, alignment with our great-ness. Are we willing to experience life from the fullness of our highest energies, abilities and power? We say we are and then we consider the possible results and start backing away. When we're immersed in this level of energy we have to be committed to our path and fully aware of the power of the illusion but our even greater power to change it in any moment.

New Year, New You?    

Someone sent me an email with information about creating a new me for the new year. I thought about it for a while and then decided I didn't want a new 'me', I'm perfectly happy with the one I am right now, especially if having a 'new me' means going through all of the learning, healing, growth and transformation I have done in the last fifteen years. What I would prefer is to have a whole me, one that is perfectly aligned and complete, with my healing and clearing work finished so I can make new choices for my life.  

How much pressure do we put on ourselves to change or transform because it's the beginning of a new year? What if we aren't ready to change on January 1 and that doesn't happen until March 31? Do we feel bad for three months because we have to put our 'new me' on hold? I know that we have new realizations every day and this transforms our life in the only way it can be changed, one step at a time. Putting pressure on ourselves to change just because the date is January 1 is an invitation to self judgment and criticism.

I recently gave away some things that I had been hanging on to for years. Now I haven't used them in a long time but I thought I would, so they stayed in a closet until I decided that they would be useful to me again. Then one day last week I was getting something out of that closet and I saw these items and wondered 'why did I keep this?' The connection was gone and I was ready to let them go. And that is how effortlessly release can happen as long as we don't put pressure on ourselves to change too quickly.

We always change in spirit before we change in the physical so as we become more aware of what is happening with us on a spiritual level, we may also become aware of what may feel like material stagnation. This is a time to be gentle with ourselves and to remember that we carry energetic imprints that have been with us for eons. The gradual process of healing prepares us to be ready to replace what we release, so that we are always filling our cup and emptying it at the same time. And this is a much gentler, whole and aligned approach to creating a new me, one that we can sustain and that will support us on the next steps of our life journey.

Uriel's Message -- You and God are One

There is no separation between you and Source or God or the Universe or the name that is given to the energy that supports, nourishes, connects and sustains everyone and everything in the Universe. The judgments that serve to separate humanity from its divinity are only thoughts that cannot erase the truth that is encoded in the light you carry. What you call separation is also known as the dark or as fear and it is the only thing that separates you from the oneness you have with Source.

But this separation exists within humanity because it is impossible for Source to be separate from what its own light and you are an emanation of that light. When you remember that 'You and God are One' layers of fear that you know as unworthiness and separation are released. Your soul is unburdened and can breathe in light, free from the density of the energy of third dimensional learning. For a moment you can re-member, or rejoin, yourself to God.

There is an inevitable end to the journey of reconnection and it will happen for all of humanity, each person in their own time. The cycle of karma and healing will continue for each soul until it remembers that it is one with Source, can recall its light, embrace love and learn forgiveness. While there is an ascension path within the earth's cycle, all of humanity will be able to experience reconnection and ascension but it is not a single event. Rather, it is a journey that each soul is on and has been on since the beginning of its third dimensional experience.

See yourself as one with God, know that you are the light of God and that the Source of your light is within you and always with you. There is no separation other than that which you believe you have created and that is not the spiritual truth which is the only truth. Know that "I and God are One", make this your daily affirmation and breathe in the light that is the light, love and truth of who you are.

The Mother Contract 

A woman's role in society has been, traditionally, to have children, be good mothers and to raise their children, from birth to adulthood. Then something happened, women didn't want to have children, or they had unwanted pregnancies and either aborted or gave the child up for adoption. Then, recently, women began to lose custody of their children in divorces. Were they bad mothers because they chose to be childless, had an abortion or gave their child up for adoption? Were they bad mothers (or women) because they weren't raising their children?

The mother contract is a complex soul agreement that involves soul group dynamics, soul promises, commitments and often heavy karma. There is a big difference between agreeing to bring a child into the world (which involves sharing energy, karma and DNA) and helping that child become an adult. Every child that is conceived is not destined to be born to or raised by the woman who carries her. That is a social standard that does not take into account the spiritual aspects of our life journey.

There is no standard mother contract, each one depends on the soul agreement between the mother and child. Even in the case of adoption or abortion, there is an agreement for that to happen in fulfillment of the contract. More fathers are gaining custody of and caring for children, which is another part of the mother contract between the parents and the child. The child needs the father's energy, even if he is not the best father (and that is another topic).

The emphasis on the traditional, standard loving household doesn't respect our soul's desire for healing which is why we enter the third dimension. And social standards judge mothers harshly for not adhering to the traditional mother role. The changing human paradigm is allowing eons of karma to be healed so that we can live through our highest aspects, karma free. The new generations of children are choosing the parents who will help them complete karmic cycles within soul groups and this is why events happen that, from a spiritual perspective, are completing karma but from a material perspective, are judged as bad or wrong.

Masters of Timelessness

The concept of timelessness may be a little scary for some because what would we do without time? Would we just show up to a meeting when we felt like it? How would we coordinate events and schedules? Does this mean we stop celebrating birthdays? But timelessness isn't about getting rid of time or the concept of time and timing. It is moving into another experience of time when we shift our focus from time to outcome, from timing and how long things take to manifest, to the results of energetic flow. If time is the flow of energy through density, then timelessness is the flow of energy through the lightness of divine perfection.

How does divine perfection interact with time? It is the intersection between desire and intention and outcome and ascension. Every aspect of our life journey is measured by learning and transformation. It doesn't matter how long we take to learn a lesson, whether we learn it in a day, week, decade or a century, what is important is that we learn it. If we don't, we can return and work on it at a later time. We ascend through enlightenment, by understanding our experiences as the path to learning, healing, growth and transformation which, from a material perspective, take a certain amount of time but from our spiritual aspects, it is a matter of outcome and completion.

We partner with the energy of divine perfection to create the outcome that best responds to an aspect of our healing, learning, growth and ascension cycle. What is that? It's something we can't know until we allow the partnership to occur because with each new understanding we step into timelessness, where we allow the outcome to flow to us. Then we change the learning curve, shorten the path to our transformation and this shifts the outcome. Now we're on a different path that was possible because we shifted the outcome by allowing divine perfection to replace time. So the question is not whether we can be timeless but whether we are ready to allow ourselves to live in this vast, unlimited and unfamiliar territory.

Time is interwoven with our karmic cycles, emotional DNA, soul group dynamics and every other aspect of our life journey because these are all elements of density. So when we are not grounded in time, we allow a new energetic flow to become part of our learning which removes density and puts us on a path where outcomes shift and flow more quickly and often in a different direction. When we are at this level we can see instant results, and live our life in a new and different way without the struggle that is inherent in karma and time. And in the flow of timelessness the desires of our heart and soul and our life path become one and the same, to create our heaven on earth.

When Life Throws a Curve Ball

     

 Last Friday night I went to bed with a mild stomach ache, which I thought was a bout of the stomach flu. I've had this before, it's uncomfortable for 24 hours and then it goes away. But when I awakened at 1AM with intense stomach pain that lasted through the night and into the next day, I was puzzled. Then at 2PM Saturday afternoon I awakened from a nap and heard a voice say 'appendicitis' and was shocked. I've never had surgery, am rarely sick, don't go to hospitals and still have all of my 'organs'. But I went to the hospital and was in surgery to have my appendix removed a few hours later.

It's been a few days now and I'm feeling better although I was completely unprepared for how exhausted and painful post-surgery would be. I'm taking things very slowly so the newsletter was delayed, I have not been working at all, I take lots of naps during the day and go to bed early. I know I will be back to my normal energy levels in another week of two as long as I take care of myself now. The message to me has been to slow down, take it easy, rest a lot, take care of myself and let others contribute to my care. My family and friends have been very helpful and supportive.

We allow our lives to flow in a certain pattern and direction that often becomes a rut we're stuck in until we get stopped by one of life's curve balls. Whether it's a financial, emotional, health or other crisis, its purpose is to stop us in our tracks so we can give our attention to who and what we're being while we're busy doing our lives. And often we find that our actions have become misaligned with our goals but we can't find the time to slow down to make those corrections so we get stopped and then have plenty of time to make changes.

With a Mercury retrograde and an eclipse cycle to help us with that process, this is an especially potent time for curve balls to occur and they can take us by surprise, as mine did. When this happens, take care of the immediate issue and then look at your life. Consider your goals and whether what you are currently doing is meeting them; often it isn't and there is an easier, more efficient and faster way to do that. Are you enjoying your life? Are you doing what you love (which is the expression of your gifts) or doing what you think will pay the bills? This is a slippery slope that is coming up for many and as scary as it can be, we're being asked to make changes so whatever we do is the best expression of our energy. Listen to your guidance, it will help you know what that is. And take care of yourself, because it isn't until you don't have full use of your body that you realize how much you take for granted.

Uriel's Message -- Evolving Empathy

With each generation there is an evolution to the flow, movement, integration and alignment of energy. Despite the appearance that nothing in the world changes, each generation is able to ascend into new dimension of being, which involves integrating small aspects of higher dimensions of being into third dimensional energy. The most subtle shift in thought or belief is as powerful as any other energy movement. There is a level of empowerment that occurs which allows empathy to evolve into its higher states.

Empathy is how you connect energetically to others and it can be difficult because it is often through experiencing their emotional energy, usually at the level of pain and fear, which you can take on as your own in an effort to help transmute it. At its lowest vibration empathy is experienced as sympathy, where you are aware of others' powerlessness and this is where your empathic connection is felt. You also believe that by transmuting their energy you raise the earth's vibrations and while this has been one of Lightworkers' roles in the past, it is no longer true for you today. Today, empathy is evolving into powerful connections that allow healing to occur through conscious choice and free will.

Lightworkers hold the fear that the earth will not ascend, that ascension will be stopped or blocked, that some force or energy can prevent ascension from happening. Yet it always happens at some level although it has not yet achieved its full aspects. Remember there are many dimensions in the Universe so ascension is always occurring beyond dimensions you can know or imagine at this time. As empathy evolves so do your human connections and you must choose to connect to others by realizing their power and showing them how they can reconnect to it.

Empathy is one of your greatest challenges in healing because you can adopt the responsibility for healing or be healers, you can be a powerful example of healing or give up your power to help others heal. It is not possible to help others heal by showing them their pain-they are already aware of how painful their life is. You can heal them by showing them their truth, which is that they are powerful, divine beings whose life experience can be shifted through awareness of a more powerful aspect of themselves. Practice empathy by being your most powerful self and be a mirror of the joy, peace, abundance and love that are available to all when they can learn to seek and find their own truth and find the power within that heals all pain.

Mothers and Daughters   

    

I was with family for Thanksgiving and the conversation turned to mothers and daughters, how challenging our mothers have become as they have aged, what they expect from us and how they do not honor our boundaries. I have had some interesting conversations on this topic with my own mother lately but from a perspective that allows me to understand her actions from a different place. One thing I have realized about this most complicated of relationships, especially with my generation, is that we have lives our mothers don't understand us and never will. And so we must learn to find a balance between our lives, the one our mothers think we should live and how to handle their fears around these issues.

The mother/daughter relationship is very complicated and with my generation in particular, has always been challenging. Many of the clients I speak to describe issues of jealousy, competition, domination, criticism and judgment with their mothers. If it is our mothers' job to teach us about power, why weren't they more compassionate teachers? They were but not in the way we expected. Lessons in power, for Indigos and Crystals, usually begin with being powerless and our mothers are no exception in this process. We wonder why, since they struggled so much in their lives, they haven't been more supportive or helpful in ours. Many of them had Indigo and Crystal energy too, why didn't they use it?

Many of the women of our mothers' generation had dreams they could never create, or not without great struggle and sacrifice. Most accepted the role of wife and mother as their lot in life and put their dreams aside. They have mixed feelings of fear, jealousy and envy as they see us doing things they may have wanted to do and never thought they could. Some are afraid for us as they don't want us to experience the pain of disappointment they felt, so they do all they can to hold us back. Others, especially as they age, are afraid of losing their connection to us so they become needy and demanding, wanting us to see them as important and valuable. This may be our biggest lesson in compassion but it's also one of appreciation because through their parenting we had to choose to take Indigo or Crystal energy in more powerful directions. Often we chose to be ourselves so we would not be like them. And it has been a big struggle for us.

The challenge for us today is to learn acceptance in our mother/daughter relationships because our mothers raised a generation of daughters who are independent, powerful and successful and who are not afraid to follow their dreams. But what do we do with a needy, critical mother who insists on being part of our life in her own way and disrespects our boundaries? We learn to say 'no' without feeling guilty and don't let ourselves be shamed or manipulated into allowing our boundaries to be crossed. And we live our dreams with confidence because we are the generation who, despite many obstacles and challenges, refused to be limited and bravely stepped into our energy knowing that we learned to use Indigo and Crystal energy in more powerful ways and ensured that our children, the next generation of Indigos and Crystals, were more empowered, confident and successful, than we were.

Align, Integrate, Take Action

As we come to terms with our life purpose of healing, learning, growth and transformation, we are faced with a variety of choices. Rather than trying to make the best or right choice, which is where we focus our energy when we think that one choice is more or less important than another, we can ask three questions that will guide our choices in the direction of the greatest healing and learning. This is a practice that should be used in every situation and it will help keep us moving forward instead of being stuck in trying to make the right or best choice. Without action though, purpose, potential, possibility and power are simply castles in the air.

Choices bring conflict, they release us from the status quo and force us to take a stand. When new energies enter our consciousness they bring a state of mis-alignment. We're no longer comfortable where we are, but we're even less comfortable with the new alternatives. If we haven't taken time to integrate the learning our experiences have for us, we are at the point of total paralysis and indecision. This is where we have to work with integration, allowing our learning to become part of our path.

Integration means choosing which aspects of our learning we will allow to become part of our new reality, beginning with how we now view ourselves and our life. This is where we must ask ourselves where the potential, possibility and power of the new energies is stronger than our fear of them. Without fear, we will allow them to become our new way of being. If not, we will stay where we are. This is the action part of the equation, do we take action and move into a new level of alignment through integration, or do we stay where we are? It is a choice that we must make.

Taking action is never a two-way street because once we choose to move forward, there is no going back. We are in a new energy zone now and will release our old energies and along with them, some associations they are connected to. But when we align and integrate, we lose the ability to connect with old energies and moreover, once we are in new energies the old ones lose their appeal forever. We can't forget the peace and joy that we feel when we are in higher energies and no longer resonate with our old ways.

We're stuck again, in a way, because moving forward is the only way out. But this allows us to create a new purpose, to move out of healing cycles and karma and embrace a way of being that allows us to create our own heaven on earth. So when we choose a new purpose we also choose all of the changes that are part of it and then we're on a new path, at a new energetic vibration and living our new purpose of creating the life that brings us joy, peace, love and abundance, bringing us into alignment and integration with our mastery.

Me, You and Us

   

If you are part of the New Earth Energy Project, which you can join at www.healmotherearth.com, during the last few group calls we talked about the collective consciousness and the role we play in bringing new energies for the earth into being. One of the things we discussed last month was something I had never really thought about (I love it when I get new information) and that is this - the earth cannot be at a higher vibration than that of the collective.

So the earth is not at a higher vibration than we are. Overall, it reflects an average of the collective energies and it resonates at a higher or lower vibration in various areas, depending on the energy of the population there and karmic and other energies the land carries. This is important to know for two reasons. First, the earth is not going to save us from ourselves or save itself to help us. It is our partner in the individual and collective ascension process and we work with the earth to ensure our collective well-being.

Second, each of us has a relationship with the earth which affects that of the collective, both individually and with the family of humanity. We have found, in our earth group calls, that we can raise the vibration of different areas and can feel our connection with the earth in our group meditations. Because there are so many of us with the same intention, our energies are exponentially multiplied and we can create an energetic resonance that supports the earth and provides it with alternative paths in its ascension process. We're aren't interfering with the earth's mission, just adding another dimension to it.

We must see ourselves as individuals and as a group, which, from a personal perspective, is the "me, I am and us," being aware that the power we have to change our lives is also extended to the world. Together we can work miracles in the process of transformation that is calling everyone to align, integrate, balance, release and live through higher energies. Fear is a luxury none of us can afford and there is no need to be in fear because we sustain and support each other. That doesn't mean we can let go and hope someone else will carry the ball. It means that we are equally yoked at this time and each of us must shine our light as brightly as possible because we're all in this journey together.

Uriel's Message -- The You Within is the You Without 

    

The physical presence you embody was planned according to your soul's healing path for this lifetime. Every detail, from the sub-atomic to the most specific details of your physical appearance represents your soul agreement for healing in this lifetime. Each step of your path was also planned, including knowledge of the many different potentials in a lifetime, from the choice to embody, to learning, to achieving the highest levels of mastery and beyond were also included in this plan. This is the you within, which becomes the reality you know as the 'you' in the material world.

In every moment, you are accessing every detail of this life plan to create your reality. There are no possibilities that have not been planned for, there are no situations, relationships or encounters that do not have a specific connection to your soul's plan for healing, learning, transformation and ascension. The many different paths available to you all represent an aspect of living that you can embrace or reject and all are perfect.

What you know as your reality is a shifting paradigm, representing your choice of which of the 'you within' potentials you have selected. When fear is present in your emotional body, you choose those aspects which reflect and respond to your fear. When powerlessness is present, which is a result of your fears, you choose the aspects which do not empower your life and living. But when our divinity is chosen, the path becomes a limitless flow of abundance that resonates at the highest levels of your energetic being.

As you consider your next steps, remember that the answer lies in the 'you within'. Which of its aspects do you want to embody? There are many choices available and all are supported energetically. How powerful do you want to be? How much joy can you embody? Do you want to live 'in love'? Choose those things and the corresponding 'you without' will reflect those results. Be mindful that your outer reality cannot be greater than the 'you within' and all you need to create the powerful, joyful, abundant and fulfilling life you desire has been created within the potential embodied in your highest energetic vibrations. And all are available to you when you choose from within to create your life.

Your Love Connections         

A friend of mine has been struggling with the realization that her grandmother, the person she loves most in the world and who has been her source of love and support in her life, is aging and will pass away in the near future. She is struggling with the devastating thought of losing this loving presence what she will do when her grandmother dies. I had this kind of relationship with my maternal grandmother and when she died I felt I had lost the only person in my family who understood and really loved me. It was very hard to lose her loving presence and I still miss her.

Some time ago I wrote about the 'earth angels' that Indigos can have in their lives, people who are supportive and loving, who see and accept them as they are. These are the people we turn to when we need help and support. They are often not our parents but can be grandparents, extended family members or cherished friends. We are close to them and feel very loved and supported because they are our link to unconditional love and through them, we can feel the energy of "Home".

Those of you who are very empathic, intuitive and energetically sensitive have a vague memory of being in unconditional love and its absence on the earth is one of your life challenges. The density of the energy here is hard to navigate without someone who can give you the connection to that loving energy, especially when you are very young. When you meet that person your connection is at this higher aspect of love and you create an instant bond with them.

This unconditional love connection was planned to be your love lifeline until you could find your own center but when you become too attached to it, you are afraid that once it's gone you won't have love in your life. Its purpose is to ground you in and remind you of the love you are from so you can create it in the world. Then you can create your own sphere of love and attract many loving people to you.

Honor the people in your life who have been your loving support and unconditional love lifeline, then use the memory of that feeling to expand the love in your life and be a reminder of love for the world, because that is part of your purpose and your love memory and connection serves the world. Knowing this has helped my friend find peace and to be in gratitude to her grandmother for the love she embodied for her and the legacy of love she now has, thanks to her grandmother.

We're Cruising Together

URIEL NEWSLETTER 4/11/11

We're Cruising Together

  

As our spiritual awareness deepens we can see ourselves as more than humans going through the different activities that comprise our daily life. Expanding our awareness of ourselves and the earth to include energy gives a new dimension to life and living. We are, as is everything around us, energy in motion. And we connect to everyone through energy. Every relationship we have is based on an energy match, on some level that isn't always based on joy and good times. Our feelings and opinions are secondary and depend on the level of energy we share. Despite what we may think about them, our connections with others are nothing more than different kinds of energy in motion.

Every relationship is the result of an energetic connection with someone whose energy is at the same wavelength and whose motion matches ours on some level of our growth, healing and understanding. We fall in love with or like someone whose love energy is flowing like ours. We fall out of love with someone when our energy begins to move in different directions and we no longer share a flow and wavelength.

We choose friends whose energy moves like ours. And our 'enemies' also have energy that corresponds to some aspect of our shared healing. Every emotion we have around others is associated with the energy that is part of our experience with them. When there is no longer a shared energy flow our feelings change because the e-motion is different.

And this also includes the lessons, karma and healing that each of us has as part of our life path. Any 'feelings' or emotions we have towards someone corresponds to this energy, which is why we can have no feelings at all towards some people and very strong feelings towards others. Through our shared energetic signature we come together for whatever time is necessary to complete a healing or karmic cycle and then we either continue together in a new direction or move apart.

So we will connect to heal and share energy and once that aspect of our energy or e-motion is fulfilled, we can move the relationship to another level if we both choose that. But if we don't then the e-motional flow that brought us together now separates us and we no longer 'feel' the same way about each other.

Energy is the creator of all connections between us, from our most cherished love to our most challenging partner, the flow of our energy dictates the type, purpose and length of our connections. The people we can't spend enough time with and those we can't wait to get away from all share an energetic flow with us. So as you go about your day, look at the people from an energetic perspective. Who do you 'like' and dislike, and who do you have no opinion about? It's all energy that is moving in a flow that determines who walks on your path with you, for whatever time they are there, and who doesn't. 

Retro Madness and Mayhem

                 

Are you experiencing Mercury retrograde madness and mayhem? This is the first retrograde of 2011 which started March 31 and ends on April 23^rd although it officially exits its shadow period on May 11. This one seems to be creating more than the usual problems with communication and travel, computers crashing, misplaced items, forgetfulness, etc.,  probably because it's happening in Aries, the sign of action. While we want to push forward, retrogrades make us slow down, and all of the re- words come into play, re-think, re-consider, re-view, re-member, re-do.

I like to look at retrogrades as a chance to re-view my life because anything that I am not sure about or moving too quickly with stops moving so I can re-think my strategy. Now I could get angry about this but I have learned that doesn't help so I take the extra time the Universe has just given me and go over my plans and projects. As an Aries I tend to move and think fast, so a re-view also allows me to make sure that I have thought of all possible options and see if I have any new ideas or thoughts about the issues.

There are times, during a Mercury retrograde, when things fall through and that can be a mixed blessing. I've had situations end for no apparent reason only to have something else open up once the retrograde was over, that was a much better option for me. This is the blessing of Mercury retrograde and is also what is happening now. Instead of being upset over the missed appointments, miscommunications and things that get stuck, take a deep breath and remind the Universe of its promise - what is taken away gets replaced with something better.

We can get so fixated on one outcome that we don't allow anything else to happen and Mercury retrograde will help us with that. Often the outcome we want is delayed so we can take our time (and it's stuck so we have plenty of time) and re-consider. Do we really want that? Why is it so important? Is there another option? Is this in our Highest Good? Are we willing to take some additional time to think about it?

Then we get all the time we need because Mercury moves backwards for a few weeks so we can pause, re-think our options, re-consider our choices and take a few deep breaths and remember that we are human 'beings' who have to stop 'doing' occasionally. 

Uriel's Message -- Know Your Selfs

        

What you know of the physical aspect that you define as your humanity is one aspect of the multi-dimensional, limitless being that you are. And when you limit the knowing of yourself to the ego your gifts and abilities, multiple potential and life paths are restricted to what the ego is able to accept. The ego is the first level of the self and beyond that are multiple levels that encompass dimensions of being, expanding levels of energetic vibration and the potential to know and express your mastery at all levels.

The self beyond the ego is not accessible because your aspects are grounded in the physical body so you can function in the third dimension. A strong ego was required to help you manage polarity, fear and the energies that are present on earth. But the ego was not intended to become the dominant aspect, to the exclusion of the others, as it has become. And the ego limits the expression of the self to what the ego is able to know, understand and relate to in its limited view of the self. The ego believes it is the only aspect of the self but there are many others it can work with.

The aspects of your self beyond the ego include the Higher Self, which is your source connection as well as access to lifetimes that have been lived at other times and places. The multi-dimensional aspects are those that co-exist with you, that you are experiencing on a soul level in conjunction with the lifetime that you know through the ego. These life experiences are energetic and include multiple gifts and abilities. You have access to these other aspects through your dream time, when your physical body and ego are resting and release their connection to the third dimension.

Without the ego's grounded presence in the third dimension you access these other aspects by releasing your grounding and this puts you in energetic spaces where you can no longer function in the physical. A balanced partnership between ego and your multi-dimensional being will allow you to access these energetic places and acknowledge the gifts you have with them, gifts that you are now ready to use and that the energies on earth have expanded enough to accept.

Be patient with this process but be open to allowing your multi-dimensional aspects to connect with you and create the miracles, peace, joy and fulfillment that the earth can know through you and the gifts you have to offer through all of your aspects.

The Time to Stop Talking

                    

No matter how much we think something is good for our Indigos, will help them, improve their life, help them find peace, there comes a point where we have to stop talking and allow them to make their choices. You know how hard this can be, especially when you can see that they are going to drive themselves over a cliff and their eyes are closed. And you have been where they are, know what is going to happen and want to help them prevent a challenge or difficulty that you experienced yourself.

Wouldn't you have appreciated someone like you to give you guidance when you were their age? You do now but you are also not their age and no matter how much you want to talk until they listen, there comes a time when you must stop talking and let them choose.

As adult Indigos it is hard to watch our children go through the struggles we also experienced, feeling their confusion and uncertainty and wanting to take them by the hand and lead them through their dark night of the soul. We expect them to be grateful for our help because we didn't have someone who could do that for us when we were their age. But instead of being grateful for our help they think we're interfering, we don't understand or can't relate to their experience. And instead of listening to us they ignore us and our advice, until they find out that we were right and then they need us to bail them out of trouble (or jail).

One of the hardest things I had to do was let my children learn on their own and resist the urge to lead them by the hand through every pitfall I knew they would face. I could relate to how they felt and didn't want them to feel that kind of pain or how scary it was to feel alone and unsupported. I was so willing to be there to pick them up when they fell but they didn't want me anywhere near them when they were running towards disaster at full speed. And they did have all sorts of upsets and problems but I limited my interference in their life. If they didn't listen to me and got into trouble, they were on their own. It didn't take long for them to learn to consider the advice I had to give.

I know it's hard to stop talking when you know that your advice could help your children, no matter how old they are, but there comes a time when they stop listening and doing more talking doesn't help. You can set boundaries and let them know that they can be on their own but you will limit the help you give when they get into trouble. I told my children that if I had to bail them out of trouble, then they had to consider my input in their decisions.

It may take one time but they will learn to ask for your advice before committing to something important. And they will listen and respect your advice more if you give it when they want it instead of offering it non-stop until they do not hear it any more. They have to learn to make powerful choices and will learn more from their powerless ones than from hearing about your similar experiences 'at their age', even if they are true.

Destiny and Purpose

 Destiny is a word we use to describe the many different things that happen to us in life and we believe that it is a pre-programmed blueprint which we must follow no matter what else we want to do. Our destiny appears to pull us in its direction and when we are on its path we have little control over what happens to us. We believe that destiny is our life purpose and while the two are linked, their relationship is rather loose. Destiny is part of our life purpose but our life purpose extends far beyond our destiny.

Within our destiny lies the sole purpose of each lifetime, to heal energies that are out of integrity with our soul’s desire for growth, healing, transformation and ascension. In this way destiny is essential to our life purpose because within it we have all of the information that we need to answer the soul’s call for healing. But destiny is not the final answer although once we are on its path we seem to have a very hard time getting off of it. We can get stuck within our destiny because we believe that it is what the Universe has created for our life. But it is what we have created for ourselves and it is the starting point of each life journey, but not by any means is it the end.

Destiny is a beginning point for our lifetime and through it we have access to the people, situations, events and, most importantly, energetic frequencies that we need to fulfill our life purpose which is, first and foremost, to heal karma. That is why our destiny is ‘destined’, because it sets the tone for our healing journey. However, our destiny is not supposed to be a lifelong burden unless we forget about its healing purpose and stay in its energies. While we believe that destiny is a universal mandate, it is actually one aspect of a journey that is designed to connect us to our most powerful asset, the power of our choices. Destiny does set the path for our life but we choose the ultimate direction when we can remember that our free will extends to every area of our life, including destiny.

There are four components to destiny and they work together to create the destiny paradigm. They are the soul lesson, which is the energy of our destiny, the people who are the members of our soul group that will participate in the experience, the situations and events that will work together to create the setting for the journey and the choices we have to make on each step of that journey. All of these components come together with divine timing when our soul knows that we are ready to live our destiny so we can make choices for our healing.

Why do we have  such a hard time with destiny? Because we are in the healing spectrum of our energies and have to face our fears. We are also in our karmic energies and our cellular memories are activated, reminding us of the past and all of the guilt and shame energies we hold there. Through the energy of guilt and shame we believe that we must pay for our sins and transgressions, that we are unworthy of anything better and that by re-living our past by holding onto our destiny, we are atoning for what we have done and dutifully taking our punishment. But we have the situation all wrong.

Destiny is like a test with two possible answers. One is the obvious choice that is written for us through our destiny. The other is an essay section where we can write down our own thoughts and beliefs, the actions we wish to take and the outcome we want to have. Most of us choose the single answer instead of the essay because we don’t think that another choice is possible. But it is and has always been there. When we understand the healing potential of destiny and the choices that we can make destiny becomes our vehicle for understanding that allows us to choose another path, one in which we allow the knowledge we derive from understanding our destiny strengthens our resolve to have joy, peace, love and abundance in our life and then make the choices to allow that to happen.

The Dimensions of Life

The Dimensions of Life

As we begin a new year we feel like we have so much to do in order to change the world and ourselves. Each new level of awareness we achieve opens our eyes to what is 'wrong' around us. But it is our ability to move into a new level of energetic vibration that allows us to become aware of our disconnection, missteps, mistakes and poor choices. Then the past rushes to meet us and we can either acknowledge ourselves as powerful co-creators or feel disempowered by every powerless step we think we have taken. This is how we know in which dimension we are living in and where we go from that moment is our ascension into higher living or our descent into a powerless past.

The third dimension is the home of the ego and a higher dimension is always one step beyond it. Life is not about overcoming, destroying or dismantling the ego as it serves an important purpose. Our challenge is to take the ego into higher dimensions, to transform its limited thinking into an unlimited spiritual partnership with our soul. When we try to destroy the ego we are trying to correct something that is not wrong. Transformation is not about destruction, it is about shifting energies, changing form and creating a new vibration. This process builds on the old by acknowledging its very important role in our life and being willing to always take another step in a new direction.

We always want to be in a different place than the one we are in, especially when that place is so fraught with difficulties. But the place we are at is the one we have chosen, consciously or unconsciously, and it is our starting place for higher dimensional living. We can enjoy life and its blessings from any dimension because higher dimensional living is a spiritual process that is reflected in the physical. We have long believed that being in a higher dimension removes us from the world and it doesn't, it just gives us a different perspective on the world.

The dimension we choose, whether that is the third, fourth, fifth or beyond, is the one that is right for us. And we go back and forth, so at times we are in the third, then we move into a higher one, then something happens that brings up our fears so we go back into the third to experience and release that fear. Then we can move on again. But with each back and forth movement we release a little more so our stay in a higher dimension is longer and becomes more familiar and comfortable. Eventually we will learn the detachment that is necessary to stay in a higher dimension and as our ego finds its place within our spiritual partnership we find the dimension that makes us happy and we move into powerful, masterful living.

Create Space for your Intention

Every new year begins with resolutions to be better, smarter, more successful and happier. And this generally lasts for a little while then we step into our old ways and the new year can become a repetition of the previous one. What happened? We set out with good intentions and yet nothing changed. There is a very subtle understanding that will help you create resolutions that you will be able to keep and see the results you want in your life, and it has to do with how you set your intention. 

We make new year's resolutions at the end of the year, when we look at all of the things we didn't do, the things that didn't happen or all of the things that did not work out the way we wanted to. Our resolutions then become the focus for fixing our life. But there is nothing to fix because there is nothing wrong. Everything is always perfect and in divine order, in that moment. We can change anything we want to change when we do the one thing that will allow change to happen, which is shifting our thinking. Without that, nothing is ever going to change because it is the energy of our thoughts that creates the reality in which we live.

When we intend for something to happen an energetic vortex is created that begins to move energy towards our intention. This new energy vortex connects with everything that supports and is in alignment with it and clashes with everything that is not. We feel the alignments as supportive, positive events and the clashes as fear and resistance. And if we try to hold on to everything, we are going against the transformative energies of our intention and not allowing them to manifest. Then we feel stuck.

To create powerful, positive and lasting change we must start with the realization that everything in our life is perfect. Then we can allow the energy vortex to expand and as it does, it will attract what resonates with it and push out everything that doesn't. One thing we can learn is to gracefully release what is trying so hard to leave so we can invite its replacement. This flow of release and receiving is what allows our intentions to manifest. For this new year set your intention for what you wish to have in your life in this moment and be prepared to gracefully let go of whatever needs to leave so you can create space for your intention and allow miracles to unfold in an effortless flow that creates the fulfilling, powerful, joyful life that you dream of and can create, with the right intention.

Uriel's Message -- Do You Lead or Follow?

Every situation and interaction has its specific energetic signature in which you are the leader or the follower. As the leader you set the energy and can manifest outcomes of your choosing. As the follower you are in the energy of the situation and your own energetic vibration shifts to fit that experience. You have no manifesting power because you are at an energy level from the past. This prevents you from manifesting any outcome other than what you have already created. The choice is yours, do you lead or follow?

It appears to be easier to lead and certainly that creates more beneficial and fulfilling outcomes but it is also a new place for you, a new paradigm for your life because as leader you are manifesting different outcomes that will create separation with your soul group. As a leader you often walk alone and cannot connect with others because they are not at your energetic level. But your healing purpose is fulfilled when you lead because this is when you can create closure with karma and bring an end to these ancient energies.

The principle reason you follow is to allow others to experience healing. As a follower you put yourself at others' energetic levels so you can allow them to grow, or so you think. But when you follow you do not do anything to shift the energy, hoping that others will find ways to change these energies through their healing. Since you are the catalyst for change by following you limit the possibility of change. As a follower you are surrounded by those who are at similar energies but what you may not know is they are looking to you to lead, which is why they reject you and your offer of healing.

You may walk alone for a time when you lead because you are at a different energetic vibration than others around you and it has been your pattern in the past to follow energy to allow healing. Do not be afraid to set your intention for the energies in your life, be very clear in asking for what you want. You will attract those who can match these vibrations and you will create life partners who share your highest energies and can allow you to express your highest and best self as a leader, an initiator and a co-creator of new paradigms of living for yourself and the world.

The Rest of Your Life

One interesting thing about the adult Indigos and Crystals is the number of things they do with their lives. In my life, I have already had several careers and my life direction has changed dramatically several times. Although I have sometimes wished that I could do one thing forever, I know that I would be bored and lose interest over time. We can't look at our life path or purpose in terms of 'the rest of our life' because our energy constantly changes. What we can do is look at what interests us today and be open to change in the future. 

We are the first generation (those of us who are now over 40) that has not enjoyed the benefits of lifetime employment, multi-decade marriages or a lifetime of stability and predictability. Sometimes that is a good thing, other times it can be more than a little scary. Many of the Indigos and Crystals I know feel they are financially unprepared for retirement, are creating new careers and professional opportunities when they are 40 or 50 and are not even thinking about stopping at age 60, 70 or beyond. But we are also unsure of how to progress in those areas because we are the first generation to have virtually unlimited opportunities to choose what we will do with the rest of our lives.

I personally am glad that no one is going to force me to retire at age 65 or 70 and knowing that I can use my gifts in any way I choose is exciting. We can look at our uncertain future with doubt or we can see it for what it is, an opportunity to choose whatever fits us instead of trying to fit ourselves into a professional mold that is wrong for us and doesn't allow any freedom of expression. We are so talented that we need to use our gifts in the best way possible, and that means choosing a professional path that brings us joy.

What do you want to do with the rest of your life? You may not be able to answer that question and that's OK because the question you should be asking, the one you can get an answer to is 'what do I want to do right now?' because the answer will change over time. So take an inventory of your gifts and set your intention for using them in the best way possible. Then move forward on that path and when you come to a crossroads, take the next path that will bring you the most joy. We have an unlimited number of options available to us when we are willing to express ourselves as the gift to the world that we are and to be willing to share our energy with the world in ways that are important to us.

Many blessings in these miraculous and amazing times,
