Lord Tennyson tells us that “in the spring, a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.” When I was in public accounting, Tennyson’s voice might have said to me “In the spring, a tax consultant’s fancy lightly turns to filing tax returns and no longer working 60 hour weeks.” Thirty years later, the only tax returns I worry about are my own.
This year, like most years, I use my 3D knowledge and Turbo Tax software to prepare our tax returns. Once I have input all the information, I check with guidance to see if the return is completed in “the highest plan” and ask if it is ready to file.
I heard that our returns were ready to file about halfway through March, this year. About a week later, we realized we had one more form from Pat’s family situation that we hadn’t received yet. I was resigned that I would need to file an amended return for both Federal and Colorado purposes. When I ran the numbers in the software, I realized that we would actually be getting a refund with the amended return. HMMM
At about the same time, I was guided to purchase airline tickets for a trip in Jan 2027. After some global issues changed the price of fuel, I happened to check the price of the airline tickets expecting for the prices to have gone up. For one leg of the trip, the prices had actually gone down. United Airlines has an interesting policy for situations like this but I had never used it before. I called to speak with a representative just to make sure that I understood my options before I changed anything. The representative told me the policy and then asked me my reservation number. Without me asking, she spoke with her supervisor and gave us the difference in the price of the tickets as future travel credits. HMMM
I wasn’t sure what these mirrors were trying to tell me. My initial thought was that these felt like blessings and abundance, only slightly delayed with a slight amount of hassle factor mixed in.
I was telling Ginger about these situations and we discussed what other possible mirrors these might have. (While clearing the “delayed abundance” and “hassle factor” energies!)
We remembered that the experiment was specifically set up to have “linear timeframe” as one of its elements. Source Energy is happening all at once. (Remember the 2022 Movie – Everything Everywhere All At Once?) However, in order to have the experience of what Ginger called “An Experiment in Cause and Effect”, we need to have linear time. How else would we be able to report to Source on the experiences of believing we were separate from Source and the eventual remembrance of ourselves as Source if we already knew, in a circular fashion, that we were never separate to begin with? So – linear time it is.
BTW – Ginger and I started our discussion calling it the “Experiment in Consequences” but quickly realized that “consequences” has a negative connotation and we didn’t want to have that judgment clouding our discussion.
For my two situations, my abundance and blessings were not delayed they were just in Divine Timing which doesn’t necessarily follow linear time. This was just a great way for my soul to bring to my attention the need to consider and clear any of my illusions and false beliefs of time within the Experiment of Duality and the Illusion of a third dimensional reality.
What messages are you receiving from your soul regarding time or its nonexistence? Allow yourself to work with the energies of Timelessness, Divine Timing and Divine Truth to allow in the wisdom from your soul.
May you experience yourself as timeless, as Source.

What are you hiding? Why are you hiding it?
I have been asking myself these questions at the same time I have been enjoying the HBO series Heated Rivalry, developed by Jacob Tierney. This series is based on a book series by Rachel Reid entitled Game Changers. Reid creates a hockey universe in which the main characters are hiding their sexuality from the world because they don’t believe they will be accepted in the masculine and, feared, homophobic culture.
If HBO shows had ratings, Heated Rivalry would be rated “R” for language and sexually explicit scenes. I rate it “R” for romance! I have been reading romance novels for 45 years. The first was actually Ice Castles by Lenore Fleischer which was made into a feature film. It follows the love of a male hockey player and a female ice skater. I guess I have come full circle, yet moved fully into the 21st century.
Heated Rivalry is very poignant and honest about what it takes for the characters to go about their lives with the secret of who they truly are firmly in place. Some might say that the little white lies they tell others don’t really matter because it is their own business and no one is being hurt. But like most secrets, the ones who are being harmed the most are themselves.
One character expresses the exhaustion and loneliness that he feels trying to keep his secret.
As fascinated as I am with the series, I had to ask myself for the mirror for me. I heard to clear on the smaller issues of gender and sexual identity and any judgement I have for those issues from across the millennia that I have been in human form. Believe me, some would not consider that a small issue, even I don’t sometimes because of clearing the victim, rescuer and persecutor energies that I have dealt with across the ages. But even these issues are small to the real mirror that I am facing.
The mirror of not wanting to admit to others and to myself that I am truly Source.
Oh, I play around the edges of the mirror. As an example, I was leading a WE Dance group a month ago. At the end of each session, we gather to share any of our experiences with the other participants. As the facilitator, I set the energy by saying that we can keep our silence, we can share anything in confidence and if we want, we can share our preferred pronouns.
As the facilitator, I was the last to share. I told them my name, that I use She/Her and Source as my pronouns. We all giggled a little at me adding that I identify as Source. But what would happen if I said that every time? That I AM SOURCE. The first time we giggled. Would it become pretentious or tiresome if I did it again? I am not sure. Whenever the facilitator ends the music portion of the dance, we close with some encouraging or poignant words. After that, I always close the way I close every Standing in the Light® session and healing circle. “And may you know yourself as Source, Namaste.” The group is used to me being who I am enough to say that as a closing. So why am I fearful of going FULL SOURCE on them? I guess I have more to clear and higher frequencies to integrate.
Mind you, it is possible that on any given day, it isn’t the highest plan to announce myself as Source to the group. But assuming it is never the highest plan, is also not being in 100% alignment with who I am. Of course, if I am willing to admit it to myself, to experience myself as Source in every moment, then I probably don’t need to announce it to everyone else. Again, the one I am harming the most by hiding who I AM, is me.
Let’s ask the questions again. What are you hiding? Why are you hiding it? May you have the courage of your convictions to find out.
May you know yourself as Source. Namaste.
I AM SOURCE

Remember how fun dancing in a conga line is? I remember high school dances and wedding receptions where someone would start a conga line dance and more and more people would join it. Remember how those lines looked. The people at the head of the line would be dancing in a normal rhythm to the music and usually singing the “da ta ta DA” with the emphasis on the last DA with a kick. The further back someone was in the line, the messier their steps were and the wider their swing was from the head of the line. The people at the back were usually laughing and not singing because they were being flung around the room. It was all good fun.
I was reminded recently that this is how we should view the conga line for humanity. The Christ gave us the concept of the conga line to explain how humanity is moving through the experiment in duality. All Beings have volunteered to be in a certain place within the conga line of humanity for the experiences necessary for their own evolution as unique aspects of Source. We need to remember this to help with non-judgment of ourselves and non-judgment of other people’s experience at this time of break down for breakthrough. Whether we are the masters at the front of the line or those holding less light at the back of the line, all will eventually move through the archway from one dance room to another. It simply looks more chaotic the further back in the line we are.
I often wonder about the Being who is anchoring the back end of the conga line. We should each check with guidance regarding any wisdom and understanding about this Being. For myself, I have always felt that this Being is the bravest among us. For us to judge anyone regarding what their experience appears to be, is doing a disservice to their commitment to increasing the wisdom of the multi-verse. My love and gratitude for everyone in the conga line is inestimable. However, there is definitely a special place in my heart for those showing us who we truly are from the back of the line.
Because we are all One, the Being at the back of the line is really the same as the Being at the front of the line and the Beings throughout the line. All are adding to the wisdom of the multi-verse. All Are Source.
May we all remember who we truly are. Namaste.

I am enjoying Roger Housden’s Ten Poems book series. Housden curates ten poems in each of these books and then discusses the poems. He gives historical context or artistic comments to help the poems come alive. In the book called Ten Poems to Change Your Life Again & Again, published by Harmony Books in 2007, he discusses “What to Remember When Waking” by David Whyte.
The poem is definitely a great reminder to not forget how wonderful our life on earth is and how powerful we are. In Standing in the Light® vernacular, the poem urges us to remember who we truly are and to create from that healed and sovereign energy. One stanza goes like this. “What you can plan is too small for you to live.” I believe he is stating that we plan from a more limited viewpoint, but he recommends that we create from the unlimited energy that we can access.
Here is another stanza that has the same energy that we hear from The Christ in Standing in the Light®. “To remember the other world in this world is to live in your true inheritance.”
Finally, this stanza reminds me that we are creator and we volunteered to be part of this experiment.
You are not
a troubled guest
on this earth,
you are not
an accident
amidst other accidents
you were invited
from another and greater
night
than the one
from which
you have just emerged.
I will let you enjoy this poem in its entirety. It may give you courage to be bold and remember who you are.
Namaste. I AM LORI

“What to Remember When Waking”
By David Whyte
In that first
hardly noticed
moment
in which you wake,
coming back
to this life
from the other
more secret,
moveable
and frighteningly
honest
world
where everything
began,
there is a small
opening
into the day
which closes
the moment
you begin
your plans.
What you can plan
is too small
for you to live.
What you can live
wholeheartedly
will make plans
enough
for the vitality
hidden in your sleep.
To be human
is to become visible
while carrying
what is hidden
as a gift to others.
To remember
the other world
in this world
is to live in your
true inheritance.
You are not
a troubled guest
on this earth,
you are not
an accident
amidst other accidents
you were invited
from another and greater
night
than the one
from which
you have just emerged.
Now, looking through
the slanting light
of the morning
window toward
the mountain
presence
of everything
that can be,
what urgency
calls you to your
one love? What shape
waits in the seed
of you to grow
and spread
its branches
against a future sky?
Is it waiting
in the fertile sea?
In the trees
beyond the house?
In the life
you can imagine
for yourself?
In the open
and lovely
white page
on the waiting desk?

Author’s Note: The bulk of this blog entry was first shared with the Standing in the Light® community at the August 2025 Monthly Energy Transmission. Since August, the political landscape in the US has continued to be very divisive. Situations in the nation’s capital and in individual states are still evolving, or perhaps in some people’s perspective, are devolving. I have been able to look out at these situations, for the most part, and see through the illusion to the farce that the situations look like and to see my mirrors for what I still need to heal. In this blog entry, I write about the Bible quote of “Give unto Ceasar what is Ceasar’s”. I believe this is a good reminder for all of us as we go into the new year of 2026. Here is another quote that might be good for us to remember with political drama playing out in our country. Quoting William Shakespeare, “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” The Bard was trying to convey that the essence of something doesn’t change with a different name. We simply need to remember to look for the mirror as to why we might think that it does or ask for other issues that we need to clear. Enjoy this remastered Energy Transmission introduction.
This blog entry starts with a story from when I was at university in the 1980s. The events here were definitely driven by 3D beliefs and ego centric expectations.
Forty years ago, I went to Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas. My sister and her, now, husband went there 6 years before I did. While he was there, Jeff had an internship with the Republican Senator from Kansas, Senator Dole, in Washington DC. I thought that sounded interesting, so I wanted to do what would make my application look acceptable to be an intern too.
This was when Ronald Reagan was President and gold lame’ was at its height for sophistication.
To bolster my application, I registered to vote as a Republican. I signed up for the College Republicans and thought if I could get elected to a leadership role in the Kansas College Republicans organization, that it would look good on my resume. I was elected as Parliamentarian. I also was elected twice as a K-State Student Senator from the Business College.
The strategy paid off. I was an intern for Senator Dole when he was the Majority Leader of the Senate between my sophomore and junior years at K-State.
In the spring of my junior year, I knew my focus for the next year needed to be to pass the CPA exam, so I did not plan to run for Statewide office of the College Republicans at the State Convention, which was held at a hotel in Topeka, one weekend.
At this point, K-State College Republicans had dominated the Statewide offices of College Republicans for probably a decade. This year, the University of Kansas delegates made a concentrated effort to be more represented at the conference. There was, however, some sort of technical difficulty for the KU delegates and the outgoing officers needed to vote to see if the KU delegates were going to be allowed to be seated at the conference. The vote to allow the KU delegates came down to a few votes and mine was one of the votes that swung in KU’s favor. This meant that KU had a few more delegates and would be able to vote a block to have KU delegates more represented in the Statewide Offices of the College Republicans. Needless to say, my fellow K-Staters were not pleased with me.
After all this drama, the tone of the evening turned to farce.
It just so happened that a fraternity from K-State was having their Spring Fling Dance at the same hotel in Topeka. There were plenty of registered College Republican members in this fraternity with many of their dates also being members. As you can guess, one of the K-State delegates rounded up enough of the party goers to come sit with the conference with the narrative that they wanted to be able to attend both events. The incongruity of 1980s party dresses at a political convention was not lost on the KU delegates but the rules had been bent for them earlier in the evening. So, as night follows day, the farce was complete. K-State delegates held the majority of the State Offices of the College Republicans for another year.
Fast forward 40 years. Similar power dynamics, rule massaging and manipulation, are being played out in state legislative bodies and in global politics every day in the outer world.
When I asked my soul for advice on what to clear or what to do given this energy, I heard, “Give unto Ceasar what is Ceasar’s”. Obviously, this is a Biblical reference to when Jesus responds to a question regarding paying taxes to the emperor. Mark 12:17, “Give unto Ceasar what is Ceasar’s, give to God what is God’s”.
For our purposes, “Give unto Ceasar what is Ceasar’s” reminds us that Spirit wants us to NOT be consumed with the details of how the 3D governments operate. They are part of the illusion. Whether the governments are democracies or authoritarian, they are part of the illusion of separation. Yes, some governments help their members to stand in their power more than others. But again, some of this is just the illusion of power. True Power comes from within, not from a document that says we have rights and purports to tell us that we have power.
Some states may be changing who can vote and considering redrawing the lines of their congressional districts. From the perspective of the Spiritual Hierarchy, all these nuances of government and representation are truly just rearranging the deck chairs on the Break-Down-for-Break-Through Titanic.
It may not seem it, but the effect of policies with a few more of one party in congress vs the other party in congress really is the same as 5 K-State College Republicans and only 4 KU College Republicans holding State Office than if it was the other way around. The only reason that we think the stakes are higher nationally or internationally than at that 1980s Topeka hotel conference room is because we are feeling victimized by giving our power away and judging the consequences.
By all means, if you are guided to vote, demonstrate, write a letter, donate or make calls in order to take a stand one way or the other, than do it. Ultimately, however, working to know ourselves as Source, to Trust and Surrender to Ourselves as Source will have a much more powerful outcome than how many blue members vs. red members or vice versa are on the chess board.
Let’s look at the second half of the Bible quote. “Give to God what is God’s.” We want to strive to stand in our power as Source in order to not be at the effect of any aspect of the government or any other conduit that we believe our power comes from. We Are Source because We Are Source.
In the SITL August Newsletter, Ginger lead us through a meditation to feel the power of I AM THAT I AM. That is what we are encouraged to do every day. Know that we are our Source of Power. We do not rely on a government to give us power. When we see machinations in the outer world to change institutions, we can give to the government what is the government’s. We can detach from what the government is doing and remember that I AM THAT I AM. WE ARE THAT WE ARE. WE ARE SOURCE.
When I first heard my guidance regarding this topic, I was guided to focus on the power aspect of the “Give unto Ceasar” quote. Ginger shared with me that when she heard another translation of the quote, “Render unto Ceasar”, she focused on the surrender piece. “Surrender to the 3D Paradigm what is rooted in the 3D Paradigm.”
What other interpretations or mirrors does your guidance tell you about this quote? Let this awareness come to you.
Take a few minutes to embrace Divine Self-Empowerment and Authority. Remember that WE ARE SOURCE.
