Weaving, unraveling,

What an interesting and exciting time we are in. Of course there is no time, but it still seems as though such a thing exists, since we have been so familiar with the concept. But as I open up into the resonance of what we before called time, I can feel how all the walls around each moment have disappeared nearly completely and it is completely possible to stretch any space, or condense it. Can you feel that?

The last - what we might all call 'a few days' - has been fascinating to me, as all the thoughts and ideas that have been swirling both around and within me are merging, twisting, exploding, folding, falling away, coming together...both anxiety and pleasure, numbness and pure feeling are my experience. What is this? I believe that we are coming into a highly enhanced period...a state wherein all things are magnified. I see it in my son. We have just moved into a house...he is adjusting .... it is an intense morphing/integrating experience for him, and me....he is able to express it so much more clearly than me, I think. He says yesterday: 'I am not comfortable in this house', and I reply, "really?, Why?"... and he responds " 'House' is just another word for 'body'." That is just it. Everything outside of us is a pure reflection of what is inside. He is repeating this for me almost daily. 'I am not comfortable in this body' - he means...while it morphs, adjusts, takes in the new ... we are being upgraded, getting the Universal download to become the next more expansive version of Self. Why? ... Only because we were all programmed to...it is 'time', that's all. We have all been preparing one way or another. Perhaps some of us knew it would be easier if we could see it coming and adjust a little at a time, maybe others of us knew it would be easier for the changes to just occur without understanding them. None of us are wrong. All of us are exactly where we need to be. I know I am getting that more and more. The things I used to think I needed to change...well, if they got changed, they needed to be - and if not, well, I guess they didn't :). More and more I am falling in love with the newness existing in every moment. The fact that we don't need to pull information from other times anymore in order to 'master' the moment. We master the moment now by simply being in it masterfully...with presence, with cheer, with pleasure, with intent. No other 'past' teacher has any more wisdom to impart that we cannot all download instantly in the moment from the cosmos. Trust ourselves more. Relinquish self-judgement. Relinquish responsibility to others. - does that sound 'irresponsible'? - Just be responsible to yourself, your truth - in this moment now. If that means in this moment I want to simple eat peanut butter and jelly and watch the fire in my fireplace...I ought to do it - fully - with presence, with cheer, joyfully, engaged in only that ... until the moment dictates a new direction, i.e. until the next thing enters my awareness to which I am drawn. For example this moment, in which I feel compelled to express this thought running through me. Which is assisting me in living it more fully, which may or may not assist you, but it doesn't matter...cause I am following my truth in the moment. . . and I can only guess, if I feel drawn to do so, that someone reading this is also moved by these words as they reflect an inner voice ... or else perhaps I would have just used a pen and paper, as I usually do. :)

The cosmos, me, you, Us, - - - a beautiful thing. This 'time' we are 'living' - glorious. In my opinion. Lucid living. Dreams are mere shadows of the daytime reality... I think it used to be, when we were all less aware, that our dreams could tell us more.... but now, our dreams are an echo of our day....reminding us of the things we know and perhaps take for granted during the day...?? Thoughts? I am, after-all, just rambling.

I get a sense this holiday season holds much more for us than we can all imagine at this time. For here we are... much of the mass awareness, aligning for a common purpose - even if it is just for gift-giving and creditcard overhaul...there is a resonance that is about to take place among all of human consciousness as a large majority of people enter into a season of giving...opening is happening... and now, with the frequency of the planet, the cosmos, just so.... we can't help but get taken - together - to the next level - collectively. I am excited. Christmas this year - supersized for everyone. ...

Look around at your 'stuff'....notice if the stuff you have is saying what you want to be saying to the Universe. Cause as my son so eloquently said - our stuff, our homes - are an extension of us, our bodies. So whatever we have - is our 'request' - our 'intention'.... in physical form. If we have a blender, we are saying we want to blend things, if we have a music player, we are saying we want to hear music, if we have tea cups - we are expressing a desire for tea, if we have a room full of boxes of the past, we are saying we don't have room for the present... that we are more interested in 'what has already occured'.... and perhaps that we would like to keep repeating it. Couches say we are going to sit, relax, etc. Beds, that we intend to sleep, showers, that we intend to clean ourselves... What do you have in your possession that you are not intending?? Are the clothes that you own telling of the 'person' that you are creating yourself to be?? Are the movies you own expressive of the consciousness you would like to possess?

Just some thoughts I have been playing with as I have purged much over the past few weeks.

Looking forward to some of your thoughts. !!

Many Blissings,

The End of Suffering... The Beginning of Peace

Don't we all want an end to suffering? In ourselves? In our families? In our countries? In the world? The Universe??? The end of wars, the end of viruses, the end of forcing something on someone else, the end of pain bodies.... All of this can end if we just pay attention to how it all starts!

Pain and suffering begins when people touch us without our permission. And I'm not just talking about "inappropriate touching". I'm talking ANY touching! When someone comes toward you that makes you feel uncomfortable, do you notice yourself shrink back a little? And then if they reach out to touch you, or hug you, or God forbid, KISS YOU, do you feel yourself recoil? And do you usually let them touch you, hug you or kiss you? Most people would say yes. We don't want to "offend people", right? We can't just say, "no thank you" or step away... that would be rude!

Well, I say, step back, say "no thank you", take care of your field! When someone steps into your field of energy whose field is discordant with your own, it sends shock waves of spiky energy into your own field. Our field is meant to be fluffy, soft, comfortable all the time. When your field becomes rough, spiky, discordant, it creates pockets of energy that get stuck in your field and eventually, it becomes a part of your field, and then... it becomes a part of YOU! It turns in on itself because most people don't know how to clear their field of that kind of energy. Once it builds up in your field, it has nowhere else to go but inward. Our bodies take it on.

It may show up first as a nagging pain in your shoulder or neck or back or other joint pain, and then it can turn into pain in your organs and muscles, and then chronic pain in your body which can then turn into major illness/dis-ease/colds/flu/etc... and then intense suffering until eventually, it becomes the thing that takes you out of this body and this life... Could be a heart attack, diabetes, cancer, dementia, clogged arteries, "old age", etc...

AND, somewhere along the line of pain, illness and suffering, we end up taking it out on others around us. Usually those we love since they are the ones who are around us (and probably touch us) the most. And then we might take it out on a co-worker, friend, retail employee, waitress, phone operator, someone who cuts us off in traffic, and so on... The pain needs to be passed along so we don't feel the burden of carrying it around by ourselves... "Others should suffer too" becomes our un-conscious or sub-conscious motto. (For some it is even a fully-conscious motto)

When we touch someone else while we are in any kind of pain, we pass along the pain through the touch. Our touch is VERY powerful! Our energy can co-mingle with someone else's energy pretty well until we touch them or they touch us, and then, it is like the energy becomes "sticky"... It becomes tangible... and now it is passed on.
(This also works when we are in a very highly positive and happy energy space. When we ask someone who is suffering if they want a hug - and they say yes - we pass along a powerful healing energy to the other person because they have given permission to have it... and they usually feel better after the hug. This is represented by the mother who says to her hurting child, "do you want me to kiss it and make it better?")

And of course, this energy is passed along to family members... Your children, your spouse, your parents... because we spend so much time in each others fields, we will have to carry some of the same energy in our fields... So, as children, we carry the burden of our parents' pain and suffering... and then we create our own because we weren't taught to clear our field. And then we pass it along to those people we come into contact with, and it just builds and builds until it becomes the infrastructure in which we live and conduct our lives.

Families, neighborhoods, communities, societies, retail businesses, eating establishments, corporations, the medical world (caregivers, doctors, nurses), states, countries, governments all take on the energy of the "weakest link" (so to speak) because not many people are working to clear or clean up the parts that seem insignificant and meaningless.... so we fight and argue and create more pain and suffering which builds and builds to the world-wide level where we wage wars!!

What if..... Let's just imagine for a moment that we all decided to ask each other if we can touch each other before we step into another person's field of energy. That might seem awkward, but think about it for just a second. Don't you wish certain people would do that for you? Wouldn't you love to take a moment to adjust your energy and prepare yourself for just a moment before you allow that person to step into your field? And wouldn't it be amazing if you could say to someone, "no thank you" without their taking it personally?

It doesn't mean the other person is "bad" or "yucky" necessarily, it just means your fields may not mesh and blend in a way that helps you both retain your fluffy, soft, comfortable field...

I have been practicing this with my Beloved for about a week and a half and it has shifted how we communicate, how we share space, the energy that we create around ourselves and our home, and how we treat others! I don't just walk up to a child I know any more and give them a hug or kiss. I realize they might not want my energy! And there are times when I ask, "Can I have a hug?" when they turn away or say no, and I totally respect that now! I don't take it personally! There is NOTHING to take personally! They are only taking care of their field!!

I notice how grandparents, aunts, uncles, even parents automatically assume their child (niece/grandchild/etc) is ALWAYS ok with being hugged or kissed. Even when a child turns away or says no, the family member grabs them and kisses them anyway. (sometimes kids are just being silly or playing, but there are MANY times when the child is visibly uncomfortable when the person grabs them). This energy is unnatural in a child's field, and yet, they are forced to "deal with it" when they don't even have many coping skills beyond fight or flight!

Think before you touch. This is all I am suggesting. Honestly, sincerely, deeply tune-in to the other person. Even ask them if it is all right if you touch them or hug them or step into their "comfort zone" (AKA Their Field).

Be present when you are being touched or hugged. Allow yourself to tune in to the vibration that is in your field when another person steps into it. Deeply open yourself to how it may or may not support the energy that you are wishing to hold in your field.

And please do understand, I know things happen so we can be taken out of our comfort zone and that is sometimes necessary to shift our energy to a new place. I get that we need others to sometimes step in and shake us up a little bit. What I am saying is, JUST BE MORE PRESENT around others and how your field may or may not blend well with another person's field. This presence could truly be how we end suffering in the world!

Imagine a world where everyone respects each other and tunes in to one another's fields so deeply that we can FEEL when we are not meant to enter another person's energy space. Imagine a world where each child can feel safe and not need to go into fight or flight mode to protect themselves. Imagine the world we are wishing to create, see, feel and live in where we are at peace with one another. No more wars, only trust and peace and love.

This is not a "new age" concept. This awareness has always been around. Let's become more present with each other. Let's be more kind to one another and respect the space that is meant to support us ALL. When one is suffering, The All suffers on some level too. Let's find a way to heal all pain and suffering by tuning in to how we interact with each other. How we touch each other. How our fields co-mingle with each other.

NOW the phrases, "We are the one's we've been waiting for" and, "Change begins with me" take on a brand new and deeper meaning for me... How about you?
