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,
Jennifer Hoffman
