Many of you remember The Matrix movie franchise written and produced by the Wachowskis and the powerful metaphors about the nature of the illusion and our beliefs about light vs. dark. We may know intellectually that the illusion is just a reflection of our energies and belief systems, but do we truly believe on the inner? We may be in touch with parts of ourselves that truly want to create change, but how much of our consciousness is still afraid of being uprooted? How willing are we to allow these evolutionary changes to filter down into every aspect of our reality?
I recently experienced a fun reminder that we each create our unique reality even while interacting with others who are also creating their unique realities. I was working with a spreadsheet of formulas which was stored on a virtual drive with shared access. My colleague called me to discuss it because she was seeing some different numbers than I was. We did a screen-share so that we could each see the document the other had opened. Indeed, some of the fields showed slightly different results from the formulas. What?! We confirmed we were both opening the same source document from the same virtual folder, not different versions saved under different names. The only difference was that we had each opened the document in different spreadsheet software. But we were mystified that this could have caused any change in the resulting numbers. A formula is a formula, right? One plus one always equals two, right? Please tell me I can count on that, at least!
Truly revolutionary change requires us to surrender the old at every level of consciousness. Even mathematics is a human-created language within the illusion to help explain certain aspects of our reality. If humanity and the entire planet are collectively evolving to create a new paradigm, then perhaps the “facts” that we’ve always relied on as our touchstones are also changing. In certain parts of the world, it was once a “fact” that Earth was the center of the universe. “Facts” change to reflect changing realities.
My soul was very excited by this message, but I was initially a little unnerved. How do we function in our daily lives and interact with others if no one can count on a common reality? My soul was not ruffled in the slightest. The answer is that we let go of our old tools rooted in knowledge, reason and logic. We go within for our spiritual tools rooted in the new paradigm. We check in with our soul’s guidance, align with the Christ Consciousness which holds the vision for the divine plan for all of humanity and planet Earth, and we allow for the unexpected. Reality is shifting so rapidly that what we thought we knew yesterday may no longer be our truth today.
Years ago, I was visiting with two friends at their home when the discussion turned to a situation in their lives to which they were still deciding their response. They weren’t able to agree and were both becoming increasingly frustrated. Finally, one friend said to the other friend, “Are you going to let me change?” She had a point. My other friend had assumed he knew her point of view and was resistant to her perspective when it didn’t match his expectations. She was seeing the situation in a new way while he was still seeing through the eyes of the old one.
Even when we consciously want change and actively work to create change, it still takes commitment to truly allow those inner changes to be reflected in every aspect of our reality. Someone once asked the question: If you actually witnessed the Christ transmuting water into wine with your own eyes, would you believe what you were seeing?
It’s time to start posing these questions to ourselves. Am I willing to believe in miracles when I experience them? How am I blocking my belief? Am I willing to accept a new reality when it takes form, or do I still choose to see a world gone crazy because it’s too different from the old one? The miracle of breaking through the illusion matrix is happening right here, right now. How willing are you to allow this new reality to be your full experience?

This entry was originally posted in Feb 2022. The Creator Orientation has recently come to my attention again. I am being guided to post this again and to work with this energy for the Standing in the Light® Energy Transmission on May 9. Please RSVP to Ginger@iamstandinginthelight.com or Lori@iamstandinginthelight.com to join us at 7:30 PM Mountain Time to explore these concepts energetically. Namaste. I AM LORI
Are you looking at the world from a Victim Orientation or from a Creator Orientation?
In the Standing in the Light® Gathering and Teaching from July 2019, we discussed the Karpman Drama Triangle. In the 1960’s Stephen Karpman proposed that until we heal our drama, we are acting as a victim, a persecutor or a rescuer. We can move between these three energies very quickly. First, we might feel victimized and then we point the finger at someone else blaming them for our situation. We may want to be rescued or we could act as a rescuer for someone else because we believe they are a victim. The variations are endless as long as we are looking at the situations from the Victim Orientation. Many of us in the Standing in the Light® Community have worked with healing our unhealed issues by asking ourselves which corner of the Karpman Drama Triangle we are coming from. Are we acting as the victim, the persecutor or the rescuer?
What if we change how we look at the triangle? What if we look at it from the Creator Orientation instead of the Victim Orientation?
In 2005, David Emerald wrote the book called The Power of TED*. TED stands for The Empowerment Dynamic. In this book, Emerald introduces the audience to the terms Victim Orientation and Creator Orientation. Similar to Standing in the Light® teachings regarding how to look at the world from the 5D perspective instead of the 3D perspective by flipping the pyramid upside down, Emerald flips the Karpman Drama Triangle to look at the situation from the Creator Orientation.
In Emerald’s model, the victim corner of the triangle becomes the creator corner, the persecutor corner becomes the challenger corner, and the rescuer corner becomes the coach corner.
The idea is that the situation we find ourselves in may be the same but how we look at it will change the outcome. If we continue to look at it from the Victim Orientation we see a problem, we have anxiety from the problem and we react from that energy of anxiety which fuels the problem.
If we take the same situation, we find ourselves in but flip the triangle so that we see it from the Creator Orientation we look for the vision or the outcome versus looking at the problem. The energy that we feel is passion for the outcome not anxiety. Then we take baby steps in order to get us closer to the vision and outcome we desire.
For the Standing in the Light® students, does this sound familiar? Obviously, Emerald’s teaching really resonates with me! The Christ teaches us the 3R’s of manifesting. We focus on what we want to create (Receive the Vision), raise our frequency with positive energy like passion or whatever energy speaks to us (Resonate) and then we take the action steps to create it. The action steps may include Releasing the Blocks (the third R) in addition to taking steps in the outer world to bring the vision into fruition.
What I really like about Emerald’s model, The Empowerment Dynamic, is looking at the characters in each corner of the triangle in a new way. We can take a situation we are dealing with and name the victim, the persecutor and the rescuer as we see them. Then flip the orientation to The Empowerment Dynamic and see who the creator is (us).
We can identify the “challenger”. The challenger may be a constructive challenger, like a mentor or facilitator that challenges us to move forward and challenges our beliefs to help us heal. The challenger may be a deconstructive challenger like a boss that we really don’t like but who challenges us to really ask what we want and to help us move forward out of an uncomfortable position.
We can find the coach who sees the creator in us all and helps us on our path. This can be a friend, facilitator or teacher.
Of course, from the Standing in the Light® or Light Worker perspective, our own inner guidance can and does play all three roles as our most qualified aspect of Creator, Challenger and Coach.
We can ask for help from other humans and from our own inner wisdom. Sometimes we need the assistance in the physical world and sometimes we need it from the spiritual world. Many times, we need both forms of assistance. This does not mean we are a victim or need rescuing. It means WE ARE CREATOR and we are discerning how best to bring that energy to ourselves and to the world.
Let’s practice flipping our perspective from the Victim Orientation to the Creator Orientation. WE ARE CREATOR. WE ARE SOURCE.

Recently, I’ve been guided to work on healing expectations in any form, both in my inner and outer worlds. This is perfect timing because as the time to post this month’s blog drew nearer and nearer, I realized I have certain expectations about what I write and how it affects readers. I have attachments to the messages being meaningful and useful for everyone. I’m attached to finishing them within a certain time frame. And I have a desire for each one to have a certain polish and verbal flare! As I rolled all of these self-imposed limitations around in my head, the inspiration came to me: “Be honest about what you’re feeling and share that.” So, polished or not, here goes.
Many of you may relate to the needs and desires to give a good “performance” or “product”, even a spiritual one such as helping others to heal. Sometimes our expectations are applied to something created in the outer world such as an event, a job or even simply our words and actions. Sometimes our expectations get applied to our inner reality, such as wanting to feel differently about something and being frustrated with ourselves when we’re not ready to make the shift or wishing we were at a different place in our spiritual evolution. Wherever we might apply expectations, whatever form they may take, whether consciously or subconsciously, whether directed outwardly toward others or inwardly toward ourselves, they are simply forms of judgment blocking us from experiencing Unconditional Love and knowing ourselves as unlimited, as Source.
I’m still in process with these expectation pieces myself, so I can only share some suggestions from my soul for my next steps in the healing process. I am being guided to work with the resonance of Divine Humor. This energy feels like being able to gently laugh with myself when I take a misstep or experience results that weren’t part of my initial plan. I also heard to expand with Divine Generosity, as in being generous and forgiving with myself as much as others. And the third resonance that came to me is Divine Willingness to Receive, open and willing to receive the abundance and grace of the unexpected. These are just a few, but it’s a start. Some of these may speak to you as resonances you’re also guided to work with or your soul may recommend a completely different list. Whatever your guidance and wherever you are with your journey, just know that we are all walking the path of our spiritual evolution together, and it’s perfectly divine for each of us to do it in our uniquely unexpected way.

How do you describe yourself when someone asks who you are? Do you describe yourself by race, gender, or career choice? If you are in the right circumstances, do you proclaim that “I AM SOURCE”? For me, it sorta depends on who is asking and how cheeky I am feeling. I don’t normally use the physical descriptions of myself but I tend to say that I am a spiritual counselor. When I am having some fun, I might say that I am a Reiki Master with a Masters of Taxation who is also a Master Scuba Diver.
Today, Spirit is guiding us to do some introspection to determine our “whatness.” What? What is our “whatness”? The definition of “whatness” is: noun – That which constitutes the fundamental nature of a thing: the essence or inherent quality.
What is our essence or inherent quality? Is your essence or inherent quality more aspirational than something you know without a doubt? I mean – I know I am a Reiki Master, a Master of Taxation and a Master Scuba Diver. I know these things because I have a piece of paper that says I am each of these. But what about my true essence or my inherent quality that might not fit on a certificate or that does not have a skill set to determine if I am proficient? What of the quality or essence that I didn’t need to earn or go to school for? That is the whatness I want to show the world and I want to be recognized as.
I was watching a television show once where someone asked a new parent, “what do you want your child be when they grow up?” The parent said, “kind.” That is the type of whatness Spirit wants us to contemplate being our truth.
Take a few minutes to center yourself and determine your whatness. You can use this whatness to be your guiding principle. When it is unclear what your next action step is, you can come back to your whatness to determine if the action step takes you closer to fulfilling your whatness, to being true to your whatness, or further from your whatness. If it takes you further from your whatness, you can ask to clear why you might want to take the action step, or you might want to clear the reasons and causes you desire to take that action step.
Also, you can use your whatness as a resonance or focal point for a meditation. Allow yourself to know your true whatness and to know yourself as Source.
I AM SOURCE

Even with many tools and techniques in their toolbelt, Lightworkers may still find ourselves looking around for answers amid the turbulence of the breakdown of the illusion. In the heat of the moment, we sometimes forget the wisdom we already have available within. So, it’s important to remain vigilant for things that catch our attention because the answer already lies within the question. We just need to take the time to listen to the true message.
Many spiritual and recovery circles are familiar with an acronym for fear: False Evidence Appearing Real. When we feel fear, we are reacting to something in the illusion. Fear is not the language of Source/All That Is. When we experience fear, or any of its less intense variations such as stress or anxiety, there is a false perception trying to come to our awareness for healing. If we can shift our default response from fight, flight or freeze to one of curiosity, fear can become just another tool for healing. We can begin making this shift by asking our souls, “What about this event/situation is a reflection of my false perception? What am I perceiving about the outer that is not divine truth?” If we can look at this as simply a self-teaching moment, we can begin to calm triggered emotions and move through the fear with greater peace and calm.
Another insightful acronym I have worked with is for pain: Pay Attention In the Now. Whenever we experience physical, emotional and/or psychological pain, our wise inner selves are speaking to us, tapping us on our metaphorical shoulders with an important insight. When we experience some form of pain, or even discomfort, that is a signal that we are out of alignment with our divine truth. When we are triggered by someone else’s experience of pain, that is also out of alignment with the knowingness that we are all creators. If we can shift our belief away from seeing pain as a punishment and work with it as a guidepost to direct our healing, we can navigate the turbulence of the outer world with ease and flow.
Another powerful acronym that could be truly helpful when the world seems crazy or chaotic is for fate; From All Thoughts Everywhere. This acronym was recently shared with me by my friend, Mindy, and comes from Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Book 1 by Neale Donald Walsch, which is a channeled series of questions from the author and answers from God. I’ll share the excerpt in their own words:
Excuse me, but why not eliminate the events?
A very good suggestion. Unfortunately, I have no control over them.
You have no control over events?
Of course not. Events are occurrences in time and space which you produce out of choice—and I will never interfere with choices. To do so would be to obviate the very reason I created you. But I’ve explained all this before. Some events you produce willfully, and some events you draw to you— more or less unconsciously. Some events—major natural disasters are among those you toss into this category—are written off to “fate.” Yet even “fate” can be an acronym for “from all thoughts everywhere.” In other words, the consciousness of the planet.
Whenever we point to what we perceive as separate and outside ourselves, we are operating in the illusion. Whether we feel upset about the actions of others and blame them or we want to be rescued because we see ourselves (or others) as victimized, those are examples of false evidence appearing real. If we ignore our pain, we are missing the opportunity to pay attention in the now to whatever we are thinking, feeling, saying or doing that is pulling us out of alignment with our Source-self. If we believe that certain experiences in the outer world are simply out of our control rather than collective co-creations manifested “from all thoughts everywhere”, then we are giving away our power to heal the illusion within.
Use these moments as your guideposts through the turbulence of the outer world to the inner peace and serenity of the inner. If you doubt the power of your creatorship, just look at the magnificence and grand scale of what you (individually and collectively) have already created. Accept your inner wisdom as your guide, allow your love to shine and step into your divine power of creatorship to manifest heaven on earth wherever you are.

Are you the tea or the pasta? You may have heard this question during a motivational speaker’s presentation. The question is supposed to determine whether the environment you are in – the water in this metaphor – shapes you or do you shape the environment. Do you turn the water into a nice hot cup of tea or does the water cook your noodle?
In spirituality terms, the question is about whether you can stand in your power (be the tea) or give your power away (be the pasta). For the record, I probably like tea and pasta equally, so there is no “hot water shaming” going on here! However, for purposes of remembering who we are, even in challenging times, you can see where we are going with this analogy.
When we look at the mirrors in the outer world, our anxiety and energetic frequency level might lend itself to making it feel like we are the victim of the hot water. We truly believe our goose is cooked! The more we can put ourselves into a state of remembering that we are the creators of our reality, then we will see the outside mirrors as a way for us to express ourselves, to express our mastery, without feeling the drama of victimization energy, rescuer energy or persecutor energy.
I will admit, that currently, this is something I need to remind myself daily. Here are some of the steps I practice in order to try to be the tea!
- If I feel my anxiety level starting to rise, I start to chant a soothing song out loud, silently or I turn on my media player. I am amazed how quickly I become centered and grounded, again.
- Next, whatever my monkey mind won’t let go of, as quickly as I can, I write it down in the form of a clearing statement. “Clear the fear and false belief that my children might move in with me.”
- Then, I identify what the underlying issue is for that topic. “Clear the fear that I won’t have time and space to myself, that I won’t have time to meditate, that I won’t sleep well.” If it wasn’t obvious my now, I really like my alone time. It is where I find my power and my truth.
- That leads me to my next clearing statement. “Clear fear and false belief that I am not able to stand in my power and in my truth when I am with other people, etc.” You can see where this is going. I just continue to find more detailed issues.
- However, if I don’t have time to do all this immediately, I start with #1 and #2 to get the energy moving quickly. I will come back to the details when I have time.
- The next step is to bring in higher frequency resonances. This can be done consciously by filling with resonances like divine power, divine love, divine wisdom, divine nonjudgment, divine peace – whatever resonances will help transmute the issue I am clearing.
- Another way I bring in higher frequencies is to take walks, preferably by myself. See #3 above. I enjoy walking with my husband and with my dog. However, if I am truly doing this for selfcare, I prefer to be in nature without worrying about anyone else’s needs. (I am sure there is more to clear here, as well!) But, as part of being true to who I am, I need to be willing to admit to my loved ones what I need to be whole. I need to put on my oxygen mask on, first.
- Finally, I like to read or watch something silly, joyful or something that will make me laugh. One of my “go to” feel good movies right now is Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. This Netflix movie stars Will Farrell and Rachel McAdams. It just makes me laugh and allows me the pleasure of singing along with the cast and the real-life Eurovision contestants. It raises my frequency and helps transmute anxiety I might be holding.
These are the steps I take to help heal my anxiety. Find what formula works for you. Allow yourself to be the creator to affect your experiences instead of being at the effect of your environment.
May you know yourself as Creator
