Recently, I thought of a line from the 2007 movie, Charlie Wilson’s War. The movie is based on a true story of United States Representative from Texas, Charlie Wilson, played by Tom Hanks, who wants to help the Afghan freedom fighters against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980’s. Wilson is able to get congressional funding for the CIA to operate covertly in Afghanistan with the help of other countries in the region against the Soviets. An unlikely ally to Wilson is a Texas socialite, Joanne Herring, played by Julia Roberts, who believes it is her Christian duty to help the Afghans. In the movie, Herring is trying to raise awareness for the Afghan plight with her wealthy friends by framing the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviets as a religious issue instead of a military issue.
At one point in the movie, Wilson asks Herring to dial back the religious rhetoric because, in a covert war, the US needs to have plausible deniability that it is not funding the operation. Otherwise, a covert war becomes an overt war and that isn’t what the parties want. Herring’s rejoinder is “I can’t modulate God’s Will.” Wilson replies, “you can try.”
Remembering this got me thinking about all the times I am trying to modulate Divine Will and why I might try doing that. The answer, for me, seems to come back to the combination of fear and lack of trust.
I don’t have enough trust in the highest plan for me and my role in the highest plan for all. I want to negotiate with Source in order for the highest plan to be more acceptable to me from a 3D standpoint. I am trying to control the outcome to make it easier, more gentle, less painful, etc. It is not that I truly believe that the highest plan for me is to be in pain, but instead of surrendering to the Divine Will, I am hedging my bets. Hedging my bets is going to put me in resistance. We all know the old saying “resistance equals pain”. The resistance will prolong me being in the illusion. If I want to see through the illusion and end the experiment in duality, I need to stop negotiating with my Soul / with me as Source.
No Negotiation. Yes Creation.
As long as I am negotiating, I am in fear. (I originally typed – “as long as I am negotiating from a position of fear” – and then I realized that as long as I am negotiating, I am in fear. Full stop. No question about it. Negotiating equals fear.)
However, we need to not confuse setting intentions and creating with negotiating. The goal is to be in co-creation with our Souls – our higher frequency aspects of Source.
Remember, “It is not the what, it is the why.” If our why for trying to create something is fear and negotiating, that is not coming from a high frequency and what we manifest will take on that lower frequency energy. That is exactly the opposite of what we are trying to do.
If we are setting intentions and co-creating with our Souls to manifest the highest possible version of the plan, the highest good of all, without judgement and without hedging our bets, then “the why” is a high frequency motive.
Negotiating with our Souls – low frequency creation. Creating with our Souls – high frequency creation. Creating with our Souls requires that we be in alignment and clear communication with our Souls.
Recommendation: Five Steps to Manifesting
How do we come into alignment and clear communication with our Souls? The recommendation from the Christ is as it has always been: The five steps to manifesting.
- Connect and align with your Soul
- Receive your Soul’s vision
- Release the blocks to manifesting the vision
- Resonate the vision
- Take action steps
These are the five steps to miracles, to knowing yourself as Source, and to Ascension.
Obviously, this is a reiterative process. Lather, rinse, repeat. If you are having trouble with connecting and being aligned, then try to see what the blocks are to being connected and aligned. Maybe as part of the resonance step, before you are able to connect and align with your Soul, you are guided to perform an energy healing modality on yourself or seek help from someone else. Healing modalities are high frequency resonances. The key is to keep trying with one step or another even if you aren’t able to take the steps in the recommended order all the time.
If you need to clear first, then clear first. If you need to bring in resonances first to lower resistance, then bring in resonances.
Following the steps as listed is the most efficient way to create. However, effectiveness is all about practicing, not giving up and finding a way to raise your frequency even if it is allowing in small slivers of light until you are willing to allow in more light more often.
Don’t give up. Don’t negotiate. Clear fear. Set intentions and create. Trust as though you have never had any reason to doubt. Trust because YOU ARE SOURCE.

Spirit is urging us to work with the energy of reconciliation. Reconciliation includes bringing issues into agreement and harmony, to settle disputes or to forgive.
Setting these intentions are useful in the third dimensional world. One only needs watch the news to see mirrors as to what needs to be reconciled. Working toward agreement, harmony and forgiveness within our families, our societies, within the body of humankind and with Mother Earth are steps in the direction of Oneness. You may be guided to take action steps toward reconciliation in the outer world.
As with most issues, the first step to be in reconciliation with the third dimensional world is to be in reconciliation with ourselves. What do we need to examine within ourselves to come into reconciliation with the highest plan and with the number one priority of our own evolution?
Is our multidimensional self not fully aligned? Are there disputes between the will of the ego self and the will of ourselves as source that we need to reconcile? Is our mental body fighting with our physical body or emotional body? Is there a lack of alignment or agreement as to what the highest plan is?
If you are having trouble seeing the highest plan for yourself or the action items to help manifest the highest plan, you may be guided to work with the Star of David and the resonances associated with it that Marsha Hankins channeled. We discuss recommendations for using this tool in the Feb 2020 blog entry Back to Basics – Standing in the Light (iamstandinginthelight.com)
The resonances associated with the Star of David are Love, Wisdom, Power, Compassion, Forgiveness and Understanding. Raising our frequencies with these resonances will help us to reconcile what might be out of alignment and what we need to forgive ourselves and others.
Working with these resonances and with divine truth will help us be willing to reconcile within ourselves and to reconcile the false beliefs we still hold. This will help us reconcile ourselves to the knowledge of ourselves as Source.
May We Know Ourselves as Source.

We have long talked about the benefits of higher frequency resonances. In Standing in the Light®, we teach that resonances are one of the three R’s to manifesting consciously. Just as a refresher, the first R is Receive the Vision, the second R is to Release any blocks to manifesting the vision and the third R is to Resonate the vision – to bring in the energy or resonance of what you are trying to manifest.
Looks like scientists are experimenting with resonances in a fun way. Here is an article in an online magazine called Thrillist by Megan Schaltegger on the MSN platform describing an experiment performed by Bern University of the Arts in Switzerland. Cheez-It ‘Sonically-Aged’ Its New Crackers to R&B Music (msn.com)
In a study conducted by Bern University of the Arts in Switzerland, researchers found that aging cheese to hip-hop music can “strengthen taste and smell.” Which, naturally, inspired the brand to give the attempt a go.
There’s just something about scream-singing ’90s R&B that heals the soul. And apparently, it also intensifies the flavor. Cheez-It has “sonically-aged” its new crackers to a Pandora-curated playlist with hip-hop’s most iconic players.
“After six months in the making, we’re thrilled to finally share this absurdly delicious collaboration with our fans,” Senior Marketing Director Erin Storm said in a press release. “Our innovations team is always exploring new ways to bring more unique experiences to our fans, and Cheez-It x Pandora Aged by Audio is the perfect way to provide our dedicated fans with a truly first-of-its-kind snack while celebrating the joy music brings.”
The Cheez-It x Pandora Aged by Audio crackers, which will be sold exclusively via Cheez-It’s online shop beginning May 26 at 12 pm EST, were aged to a quality mix of A Tribe Called Quest, LL Cool J, The Roots, Beastie Boys, and Snoop Dogg for six and a half months. The entire playlist will be released along with the crackers later this month so that you can experience the same tunes as your snack.
“This collaboration is the perfect mix of my favorite things: hip-hop music, wild innovation and Cheez-It,” SiriusXM radio host Sway Calloway said in the release. “Hip-hop has influenced many lives, so I’m looking forward to seeing if fans can taste the effect of the most beloved genre of music in the world on these crackers.”
I love everything about this story. It is fun and frivolous at a time when fun and frivolity seem in short supply. I love that we get to see the effect of resonances on cheese.
If resonances affect cheese, what can they do for you? What are you listening to these days? What are you surrounding yourself in? Is it raising your frequency or sapping your energy? Take a look at what you are soaking in 24/7. If you need to make some changes, do it. If you are honoring yourself with positive energy, keep it up. Just remember the power of resonances to help you heal and help you manifest.
Hope this entry wasn’t too cheesy.
Namaste.

Twenty years ago, I started what felt like a new path for me. I met Kris Duffy in Boulder, Colorado, took her I AM SOURCE™ classes and was hooked. I began private sessions with Kris to help me navigate my path and to learn more about the teachings that spoke to me more than any other belief system ever had. I AM SOURCE™ gave me insights to things I had heard before but never quite understood or believed was possible.
In one of my early sessions with Kris, she asked me to ask my inner guidance for a percentage of how much I believed in the essence of God and the essence of Goddess. I don’t remember the exact percentages, but I think the God percentage was around 80% and the Goddess was hovering at 0%. Obviously, I had blocks and false beliefs as to what Goddess is.
I set my intention to clear the false beliefs – some of which were that Goddess was a Disney evil queen, a less important being to her male counterpoint or a nonexistent being altogether. Clearly all false beliefs!
I needed the awareness that the patriarchal system that I lived in was not the only option, was not my only truth. More false beliefs I needed to heal. I needed the cosmic and internal awarness of the very first line in the John Lennon song, Woman. Before he starts to sing, Lennon speaks the words, “for the other half of the sky.” I had to know and integrate my self-value, regardless of my gender, to know myself as Goddess Consciousness.
Merriam-Webster online dictionary defines Consciousness this way: the quality or state of being aware especially of something within oneself.
In Standing in the Light® – the successor program to I AM SOURCE™ – we teach that everything in creation needs both feminine energy and masculine energy in order to manifest. It is no different for ourselves and our evolution. We need to own, integrate, blend and become both God Consciousness and Goddess Consciousness in order to truly know ourselves as Source.
If you do not yet feel yourself as Source, you may want to ask questions regarding your belief and experience as Goddess Consciousness and God Consciousness. Here are some questions to prompt you.
- How much do you believe in God Consciousness and in Goddess Consciousness?
- If not yet 100% each, what are the blocks or false beliefs that keep you from having the inner awareness of yourself as God and Goddess.
- Is one or the other consciousness easier for you to believe or experience? If so, why is that?
- Are there societal, cultural, physical or religious reasons that are clouding your experience of Goddess Consciousness and God Consciousness?
- Is judgment blocking you from Goddess Consciousness and God Consciousness?
Allow yourself to take these and any other questions to your meditation practice and start the dialogue with your inner God and Goddess. Each is ready to help you become the full expression of yourself as Source.
May you have full inner awareness of yourself as Source.

As I try to make sense of everything swirling around me – all the vitriol and posturing going on – I heard from my guidance that if I see vitriol and posturing then I don’t understand the situation. Oh, it isn’t that I don’t understand the human behavior to justify one’s position. My guidance is making the point that I don’t understand that my beliefs are still coloring what I see in the world.
I don’t need to agree with a certain position or any position. But, I do need to understand that everyone is choosing their position because of their beliefs, just like I am forming my opinions because of my beliefs.
It doesn’t matter if I think the other person is sincere or insincere in their beliefs. Underneath all of it – sincerity, insincerity, altruism, manipulation – is still a belief system. It could be a power-over belief system, a fear belief system, a wounded belief system or a belief system that the “other side” is always wrong. It doesn’t matter what the belief system is. The belief system is what dictates the actions and reactions of whoever holds that belief.
Just like my belief system dictates my actions and emotional responses.
I need to understand my beliefs and I need to question my beliefs. If my beliefs are not 100% in non-judgment and 100% in the energy of love of everything I see and experience – which of course is not the case, yet – then I need to seek understanding of the divinity in everything swirling around me.
Some might say that seeking to see everything in its divinity is not realistic or that it is naïve. But seeking to understand the divinity of everything is the only way to truly know ourselves because we are divine. If I am not willing to see myself and everything else as divine, I am giving my power away to the outside world. I am allowing the outside world to tell me what my beliefs should be. That may be realistic by some definitions but it is buying into the illusion of our separateness, the illusion of our limitedness. Instead, I seek to understand the true nature of myself and the true nature of you – our shared divinity.
Seek to understand and know yourself as the Master that you are.
