Contributions

Many of us Lightworkers have set our intention to heal the Savoir and the Martyr Archetypes. Recently, as part of this healing, I have worked with clearing the need and desire to sacrifice (actions, time, money, things) for the “greater good”. As I was leaning into this clearing, I was reminded that if we take the word “sacrifice” as we see it in the third dimension, and flip the pyramid upside down, so that we are viewing it from the perspective or our souls – the spiritual hierarchy – then we can see the healed version of “sacrifice” which is “contribution”.

When we contribute to a situation, again whether it is with actions, time, money or physical things, we are doing it because we are holding the energies of surplus and abundance instead of giving from scarcity or obligation which is more the unhealed energy of sacrifice.

As we teach in Standing in the Light®, “It is not the What; It is the Why”. The why for contribution is our love for one another, our commitment to the highest plan and our desire to evolve into our best selves and, if guided, to help others do the same.

Take these ideas into your meditation and determine if changing your perspective on situations around you will help you to navigate your contributions as Source instead of lamenting your sacrifices as Lower-Self only. Remember that you are a multi-dimensional being in the illusion of separation. We are not separate, which means all contributions are self-serving, because we are all one.

May you feel yourself as the abundance of Source.

Namaste.

I Hope You Dance

I Hope You Dance

This week, I put together a playlist to share with my dance community. It came together pretty easily. Most of the songs remind me of club dance songs, which is not my normal style. But, hey, it is the summer and it feels like we should all be in Ibiza with some good Latin music on our lips and cool dance moves on our hips.

I listened to the playlist earlier today and realized I was struck by the only country and western song on the list; “I Hope You Dance” by Lee Ann Womack. I was surprised by how much emotion came up for me when Lee Ann sang the line, “And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance.”

I immediately tried to determine what the reason for the emotion was. I believe I need to clear all the times when I did not take opportunities for growth or didn’t fully lean into a situation. Perhaps I allowed fear to cause me to choose the safer option. I started to clear any discordant emotions regarding this and the false beliefs that someone else held me back from living fully and passionately.

I can see the larger mirror for the Experiment in Duality. I realize that the lyrics are giving me the nudge to truly release all the angst and false beliefs that I have held for all the actions and inactions I have taken in the Experiment. It is also giving me the reminder to truly be joyful about volunteering for the experiment in the first place. I can feel the shift of looking at the experiment as wonderful, not just a “wonderful opportunity” but sincerely as just a wonderful experience to the point that I can’t wait to see what crazy thing I am willing to join after our Ascension. I don’t want to sit anything out. I want to dance.

Here are the lyrics for the song and the link for the YouTube video. May you find inspiration in this song, too.

Namaste,

I AM

“I Hope You Dance”, Song by Lee Ann Womack, Songwriters: Mark Daniel Sanders, Tia M. Sillers.

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance (dance)
I hope you dance (dance)

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances, but they’re worth takin’
Lovin’ might be a mistake, but it’s worth makin’

Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin’ out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance (time is a wheel in constant motion)
I hope you dance (always rolling us along)
I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on their years)
I hope you dance (and wonder where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Dance, I hope you dance (dance)

I hope you dance (time is a wheel in constant motion)
I hope you dance (always rolling us along)
I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on their years)
I hope you dance (and wonder where those years have gone)

Tell me who wants to look back on their years (dance)
And wonder where those years have gone (dance)

Healing Imposter Energy

Healing Imposter Energy

I have been working with healing imposter energy lately. I have been feeling like an imposter because I haven’t healed 100% of my issues yet, even though I know how because of working the I AM SOURCE™ and Standing in the Light® process for over 24 years. I have written countless blogs, healing circle introductions and teachings for gatherings, and yet I still am working to heal myself. Some of you may feel the same way. How can I be a role model as a teacher / healer when I haven’t healed myself yet? Maybe you also feel the same way about your own Mastery, in general.

The fact of the matter is, if we all waited to be 100% healed, no books would be written, no seminars nor classes would ever be taught. Remember that our first priority is our own evolution, but it is through our second priority, through our service that we learn what we still need to heal for our evolution – our number one priority. Thus, it is through the books, blog entries, healing circles, and classes that most of us teacher / healers will find our mirrors and our triggers to help us evolve.

What I discovered, as I was preparing this blog post, is that the true imposter energy that I need to heal is that I am human in the experiment of duality; that is my true imposter. My authentic self, the essence of who I am, is Source, is the Universal Energy. Look at the image accompanying this blog post. The human reveals their true self as the universe that we see when the human opens their shirt. We see the authentic self when Clark Kent takes off his journalist jacket to reveal his Superman self. We show our authentic self when we tap into ourselves as Source and heal the imposter self / the lower self ego that believes the story we tell ourselves in the Illusion of the third dimensional world. We show our authentic self when we admit that we have more to heal on our journey through the illusion.

Yes, let’s heal the imposter energy. But that isn’t you as an imposter of a teacher / healer or master. Heal the imposter energy that I believe I am not Source. Remember yourself as the true master, the true essence of yourself as Source. Everything else is simply a character you are playing in the game of the experiment in duality.

Enchanted, Enthralled and Bewitched: Revisiting Our Sunday Night Healing Circle

Enchanted, Enthralled and Bewitched: Revisiting Our Sunday Night Healing Circle

Have you ever become obsessed with a book, movie or TV series? When that happens to me, it usually means that I have some mirrors to clear and my soul knows that this will be an enjoyable way for me to get the messages. To clear these issues, I usually focus on the general clearing statements from Standing in the Light® classes. Because of my recent book reading list, I heard to expand the section that deals with vows, contracts, agreements, curses, hexes, spells and anything of similar intent. I heard to expand it to include Enthralled, Enchanted and Bewitched. All three of these words have very similar meanings – completely fascinated, captivated or charmed often to the point of being spellbound or transported. Books, movies and TV shows definitely can make me feel spellbound or transported, maybe even transported to different “Lived Experience” than the one I am currently having.

When this happens, I ask to know the mirrors that I see in these stories as I would if something was happening to me in my personal life. Because of the Experiment in Duality and the Illusion of a 3D reality, the stories I read really are not any different than the stories I see in my Lower Self Ego’s life stream. If false beliefs and emotions trigger me in a story, I should ask to clear it, as I would any other situation.

If the clearing for a particular story goes on for a while, I am then guided to clear the energies that are binding me to the story. Thus, I heard to clear the energies of being enthralled, enchanted and bewitched by the fascinations these stories put forward.

Last night, at the Eminent Reiki™ and Standing in the Light® Joint Sunday Night Healing Circle, we discussed the topic of clearing/healing vows, etc. We asked if anyone else had been guided to add additional energies to their clearing statements, besides the general clearing of vows and contracts. Here is a list of some of the teleconference participants’ ideas.

  • Treaties
  • Alliances
  • Promises
  • Declarations
  • Allegiances
  • Codes
  • Statutes
  • Laws
  • Regulations
  • Pledges
  • Swears
  • Oaths
  • Fealty
  • And the energy of “undying” or “never ending” that we may have put in front of all these energies.

Also in the Sunday Night Healing Circle, it was suggested we clear trauma for holding all these energies and the trauma for holding ourselves and others to these energies. Others suggested we look at clearing the false beliefs and prejudices that might be raised by these energies. For example, if we have vows to believe one gender or one race is better than another, we should clear it. If we are stuck about clearing these energies, it was suggested to look at our ability, readiness or willingness to clear these energies.

In theory, none of these energies is any harder to clear and heal than any other. However, in practice, we may not have worked with these before or we may have blocked or hidden these energies from ourselves, so it might feel like it is harder. Ask your soul, what needs to come to your conscious awareness and clear it. If nothing needs to come to your conscious awareness, ask if there is a specific energy that will clear the topic – Reiki, Magnified Healing® or Pure Light.

Play around with these new topics and see if you are guided to any others. Your diligence and your intention will be life changing!

Namaste.

Non-Linear Time

Non-Linear Time

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.
