Let It Go: A Path to Divine Freedom and Surrender

Let It Go: A Path to Divine Freedom and Surrender

Just let it go! A common phrase used in a variety of stressful situations, but we all know it’s easier said than done. I’ve been working with letting go in my own life and was recently reminded of the famous song “Let It Go”(1) from the movie Frozen.

For those who don’t know the creation story of the movie, Elsa was originally characterized as an evil snow queen with magical powers who goes up into the icy mountains and comes back with a snow army to wreak havoc on the town. The songwriters working on “Let It Go” were trying to understand the character more deeply by imagining the experiences that led her to that pivotal moment on the snow-covered mountain. The further they delved into a character who had been shut away from the world as a child and told that her unique powers were dangerous, the more the tone of the song shifted. Once they realized that this was going to be a song of acceptance, freedom and empowerment, the song was finished in less than two days. After presenting the song to the story writers, everyone realized that the entire plot needed to be re-worked to reflect this new understanding of Elsa’s character and the meaning of her inner journey. The movie was literally re-written around the song.

I believe that these heart-centered insights into this character directly contributed to the wild popularity of both the song and the movie. It wasn’t just another hero/heroine story involving a battle with a villain; it was a story of becoming and self-realization. The message touched a chord across the globe not just with children but with many adults. It carried a powerful message about letting go of our fears, accepting ourselves for who we are and allowing our inner gifts to express fully in the world, regardless of what others may think, feel or say in response. Letting go and self-acceptance, free of judgment, free of fear, is the path to true inner freedom and surrender to ourselves as Source.

I share the lyrics of the song here for use in your meditations, if you are guided. Some of the verse may speak to you with unique insights:

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like I’m the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don’t care what they’re going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can’t get to me at all
It’s time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I’m free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You’ll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I’ll stay
Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I’m never goin’ back, the past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
And I’ll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

Radical Acceptance

Radical Acceptance

“Radical Impermanence Requires Radical Acceptance”. I read this phrase in a novel. It intrigued me. I looked it up and Artificial Intelligence gave me a description. I read the underlying articles that AI read, but I actually liked AI’s description better. Tongue in cheek, I heard my Soul say… AI is All Intelligence!

Here is AI’s spin on the concept.

Radical Impermanence is the idea that all things are constantly changing. Radical Acceptance is the practice of embracing reality as it is, without judgment or resistance. By combining these ideas, individuals can reduce suffering caused by fighting change and instead find inner peace by accepting the impermanent nature of life. This involves acknowledging difficult emotions and situations as they are, rather than trying to deny or resist them. It fosters growth and resilience.

I encourage us to understand that all situations, all people, and all institutions change. Trying to stop that is like trying to stop the tide. Change is evolution. If some changes seem like they are devolution instead of evolution, we need to consider “why” the change is happening or “why” we think it is devolution? Do the people urging the change feel that the change is the only way to get power, to stay in power or to stand in their power? Do the people who feel like the change is devolution not evolution think the change is taking their power away? Either way, it is about third dimensional power, not fifth dimensional power. Fifth dimensional power is the energy of remembering who we truly are. We are Source. The way we might describe ourselves with our gender, nationality, race, or philosophical leanings are only third dimensional characterizations. Striving for wisdom, love and power to know ourselves as Source IS Radical Acceptance.

Our mission is to figure out our “why” in every situation. If our “why” is not in alignment with the highest plan, we clear on it. Then, we work to be in the energy of Radical Acceptance, Radical Allowing, Radical Detachment, Radical Non-Judgment. And we work to be in Divine Power, Divine Wisdom and Divine Love.

If you need images to help you hold the energy, consider these ideas. For the impermanence aspect of this phrase, look at the leaves on a tree in the Autumn. The tree isn’t lamenting the change. It embraces it just like we humans do when we leaf peep.

For the acceptance aspect, look at the picture accompanying this blog entry: a human lying on the grass with the sun streaming in. The energy of unconditional acceptance without judgment, worry or resistance flows through this image.

May you be in Radical Acceptance of yourself as Love and Light, of yourself as Source.

Healing Addiction to 3D Consciousness

Healing Addiction to 3D Consciousness

Is it possible to be addicted to 3rd dimensional consciousness itself? The answer that came to me recently is “yes”. As healers, many of us have worked on our attachments to aspects of 3rd dimensional reality; perhaps situations, substances, specific people or beliefs or emotions. I was recently guided to work with healing addiction to 3rd dimensional consciousness as a whole and to heal any “withdrawal” symptoms from letting it go.

We can keep ourselves operating in 3D consciousness even when our overall frequency is no longer a match. It’s a bit like continuing to do the work of a high-schooler because it feels familiar and comfortable even though we’ve already graduated our Master’s degree. The key is to identify what’s holding us in old patterns and keeping us from being in alignment with who we are now. Wherever we’re still holding beliefs in our separation, we may still perceive ourselves as dependent on 3D consciousness to function. We haven’t fully remembered who we are beyond the 3D patterns and rules we’ve become dependent upon.

If we’re afraid to allow ourselves to just be Pure Love and Pure Joy and if we focus on the outcomes of actions rather than the vibrations of those actions as being aligned with Pure Love and Joy, then we may still have attachments to 3D consciousness. The attachment could be as simple as doubting that just being Love is enough. The withdrawal symptoms could be as subtle as frequently thinking we should be doing more clearing or more acts of service even when we’re guided there isn’t more to be done right now.

If any of this resonates with you, it may be a good time to ask if you have any addiction to 3D consciousness that’s ready to be healed and whether you need to identify more specific attachments or “withdrawal” symptoms. I also recommend reading Lori Rock’s blog this month for more insights, Redux: Renunciation of the Third Dimensional World. Allowing and Detaching with Compassion

Keep shining and remember you are Creator!

Redux: Renunciation of the Third Dimensional World. Allowing and Detaching with Compassion

Redux: Renunciation of the Third Dimensional World. Allowing and Detaching with Compassion

Author’s note: I originally posted this entry December 1, 2017. I believe it is as useful now as it was then. Please enjoy. 

Remember that old saying? “The whole world has gone insane except you and me, and I am not too sure about you!” This quote seems equally relevant today as it did when it was first quipped! Of course, some of us are now even questioning our own craziness!

How, then, do we navigate our world, our reality in all the craziness? We need to allow and detach from what the outer world presents as “reality”. You ask: “How do we do that?” We do what the masters have done from time immemorial. We allow for full renunciation of the Third Dimensional world.

What exactly does renunciation of the 3D world look like?

I asked my guidance the same thing. My inner wisdom started by explaining to me what renunciation is not. The beliefs that renunciation means starkness in life, in food, in clothing, in behavior, in art, in music, and in science is not the renunciation that is required to fully allow and detach from the 3D world. As the Tibetan Lama Yeshe is quoted as saying, “Renunciation comes from within, it is inner wisdom, inner knowledge.” These aspects of “everyday life” like styles of clothing, food, and music are simply window dressing.

Remember what Kris Duffy taught us – “It’s not the what, It’s the why.” It is not what we eat so much as why we eat what we eat. If we are eating certain foods because they fulfil cravings or even addictions, then we might want to examine if we should cut down or eliminate that from our diet. If we are eating foods that fill us with joy and harmony because they raise our vibration, then eating these foods, as guided, is the highest plan for us. As we follow our guidance as to what the highest good is for us in food, drink, music, and technology, we will realize that full renunciation of the 3D world is more about eliminating the attachment to these aspects in the world, not the elimination of the actual manifestation or consumption in the world.

I read an anonymous quote that furthers this philosophy – “Renunciation is not about giving up the things of the world, it is accepting that they go away.” This idea implies that aspects of the physical world are only temporary. Our immortal nature – the essence of ourselves – rests in knowing ourselves as eternal beings not in the mirror that our outer reality shows us. The sooner we can realize that we create the mirror that we see, the sooner we can either change it to something we prefer or relax into the freedom that we have created.

This is how we renunciate the 3D world – through inner wisdom and inner guidance.

But what of the original quote regarding the whole world appearing insane? As we are on the path to full renunciation of the 3D world, we need to allow and detach from the appearance of the insanity of our current world. We do this with the outmost compassion and love for what we see in the outer world. The separation that we see between differing factions in all the different facets of our world – politics, economics, religions, races, sexes – boil down to each side wanting to hold onto their 3D power.

Peeling back the onion shows that under the need to maintain or gain power is fear. It doesn’t matter what form the fear of scarcity takes – abundance, power, love, resources – it is ultimately the fear and separation of not remembering our true divine nature. Don’t confuse this with what we have told ourselves is the true nature as humans or the true nature of animals. This is the true nature of ourselves as divine eternal aspects of the divine eternal source. Focusing on the divine eternal source of ourselves is the path to full renunciation of the 3D world.

However, not everyone sees the world in these terms. We can allow and detach from how others see the world and how that outer vision appears to affect us, but we want to do it with compassion and love for who they are and where they are on their own path. We want to also allow ourselves to be compassionate with ourselves when we might not allow and detach from our outer world reality as we might wish for ourselves. Be compassionate with ourselves when we judge ourselves or the outer world reality. Come back to focusing on our inner wisdom and our inner light.

Let us remember ourselves as that eternal essence of source energy and let the wonder continue.

Transmuting Third Dimensional Authority

Transmuting Third Dimensional Authority

Throughout the history of humans, we have many examples of unhealed Third Dimensional Authority. The examples are almost limitless. A few examples are wars between countries, enslavement of others, abuse of people physically smaller than us, abuse of others more emotionally and mentally fragile than others, or limiting others’ power, covertly or overtly. A few more examples would be limiting access to Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs: shelter, food, water, safety, stability, love, sense of belonging or sense of esteem. It doesn’t matter whether these limits are carried out by individuals, by institutions or by governments. They are examples of unhealed third dimensional authority.

As I was channeling this entry, I was reminded of the old joke about the Authoritarian Regime of Mussolini’s Italy. The old saying goes that “at least under Mussilini, the trains ran on time.”  I was guided to look up that old saying. From two or three different sources, the general consensus is that that saying was part of Mussolini’s rhetoric or political slogan. That it isn’t really true. This is a reminder that we need to check with our guidance to determine the truth of anything we hear. We should not give our power away to 3D authority no matter the form it comes in.

When I started to work with healing these examples of 3D Authority and the energies underneath them, I realized that I also need to address that sometimes I think my multidimensional self is limiting my lower-self’s access to feeling sovereign and the multidimensional being is standing in a position of authority over me. At my level of evolution, I still need to check to see what the highest plan is. I still need to clear sometimes when I hear what the highest plan is but I don’t like it or maybe I am envious that someone else looks like they have a more interesting higher plan than I do. All of these are just issues that need to be cleared. Whether they are false beliefs, discordant emotions like self-pity or old patterns that I am stuck in.

In last month’s blog entry about The Adjustment Bureau movie, I discuss the movie plot where The Bureau Members intercede on the behalf of humans to help them stay on a plan that the Chairman of the Bureau determines is in the best interest of humanity. After the main characters try to get the plan changed and are successful, a Bureau member tells them that eventually the Bureau won’t write the plan for humans, humans will write the plan.

As we raise our vibration, we become more in harmony, cooperation, unity and oneness within ourselves and with what we understand will be the highest plan for all. We are helping to create the plan.

Let us set our intention to be in alignment with Fifth Dimensional Authority because at the highest levels we are already operating in Fifth Dimensional Authority. We can operate in Fifth Dimensional Authority for ourselves regardless of what level of authority is operating around us in the illusion. We no longer need to give our power away to the energy of third dimensional authority.

Divine Unity through Christ Consciousness

Divine Unity through Christ Consciousness

Have you struggled to find common ground with those whose beliefs seem different from yours? Perhaps even seem diametrically opposed? This is a piece we will need to work through, individually and collectively, in order for humanity to take our next big step forward in evolution. It is not easy and it calls for us to see clearly through the illusion of our mental beliefs to the truth of our spiritual knowingness. How do we say “yes, yes, I see you” to those who are saying, “no, no, you’re nothing like me”? How do we transcend our own desires to create separation from those we disagree with or even feel dislike?

Years ago, I answered my door to be greeted by two young Mormon missionaries, spreading the Christ’s word. For those who don’t practice that religion, the first reaction may be to try to excuse yourself from the conversation as quickly as possible. That particular day, I was guided to talk with them. They asked me about my faith, and I shared about my connection with the Christ and ways that I focus on incorporating spiritual practice into my everyday life. I spoke about coming from my heart and from love rather than the dogma of a specific religion. They shared in kind their spiritual practices. One missionary in particular was very enthusiastic about focusing on love as a guide and responded in kind with his own approach of bringing love into his faith. I truly enjoyed seeing his face light up with joy and passion as he spoke. I felt very much uplifted and felt a very deep connection with them.

As we talked, I was aware that they were hearing my words through their own filters and applying meaning based on their specific beliefs. I knew that if we had continued the conversation in more detail, we would have uncovered a significant divergence in our understanding of divine truth. But the purpose of the conversation was not to teach them my understanding; it was to teach me. It was a reminder that we can experience true unity, regardless of differences in our beliefs. None of us tried to persuade the other to change beliefs or follow a different path. They could feel the strength of my commitment to my path, and I respected their commitment to theirs. We simply communed where our paths met.

I invite you to practice communing soul-to-soul in all conversations, focusing on the feeling being communicated rather than the perceived meaning of the words themselves. When we focus on speaking from our hearts and connect through our divine consciousness, it is easy to see our common ground. When we see beyond individual, limiting beliefs, we see our world from the divine truth that connects us all. This is Divine Unity through Christ Consciousness.
