At this time of Breakdown for Breakthrough, many of us have fears and stress regarding how quickly the breakdown seems to be coming without much evidence of the breakthrough. We have been taught the concept of “As Within, So Without.” We need to be willing to breakdown the systems within ourselves in order to see the breakthrough within AND in our outer world. We need to be in Divine Allowing and Divine Detachment regarding how others are out picturing their own process of Breakdown for Breakthrough. It is not for us to judge how others are experiencing their particular transformation at this point in human existence. Our priority is to work with our own Sacred Change.
How do we breakdown the systems within ourselves without losing all ability to function in the 3D world? This is a really good question. As always, we follow guidance. The guidance we should be seeking is to help us determine the highest plan for the speed and depth with which we are willing to address old beliefs, old emotions, old behaviors, and the experiment in duality, without losing the ability to function in the world. Remember that the Christ teaches us to be in the world but not of it. We want to be able to function in the world for a few different reasons.
The first reason is that it is through navigating in this world that we realize the areas we still need to heal. We get our buttons pushed and this reveals an issue we still need to address. The second reason we want to be able to function in the world is because that is currently the physical experience we signed up for. We volunteered to be here for the specific reason that would serve our own evolution and to serve the evolution of our species, the whole planet and the entirety of creation. We all have a piece of the puzzle for all of creation. Your soul may have other information for your awareness regarding why you are still in the experiment of duality. We encourage you to dialog with your soul for any insights.
Asking for guidance for the speed at which to address these issues does not mean we ignore these beliefs, emotions and behaviors that need to change. It is a realization that our Souls know, and that our lower selves might need reminding, that pushing too hard is not the highest plan. Placing ourselves in spiritual crisis is not the highest plan.
However, sticking our heads in the sand with the unwillingness to be uncomfortable with the introspection is not the highest plan, either. Ignoring our issues for too long may lead us to need to take more drastic action steps or to leave us with lower frequency choices.
We suggest working with the resonances of Divine Balance, Divine Non-Judgment and Divine Detachment in order to navigate between the extremes of punishing ourselves or limiting our sensual experiences and over indulgence of the sensual experiences.
We really want to allow for the path of Sacred Change which leads to Ascension. Everyone’s path for Sacred Change is going to be different. However, having more love, more compassion and understanding for what we are all experiencing is a good start for our Sacred Change. Here is a beautiful song to help us remember that loving more is part of our sacred change.
“Let’s Love Louder (Sacred Change)” by Bliss Looper, Hannah Lou Woods
When you’re lost or feeling low
Don’t be scared, you’re not alone
I’m with you there in this space
Through this dusk time is never ending
Sacred change
You are never alone in this dusk
Time is never ending sacred change
Some things I can’t control
Sometimes I just don’t know
Seems like everywhere I go something’s starting
Guidance is on the way if I listen to what they say
Take a deep breath and stay open hearted
When nothing remains the same
And you look for someone to blame hold the space for the pain
When hearts get harder let’s love louder
When hearts get harder let’s love louder
Tears may fall on your face
Things may feel like they keep moving in and out of place
Your life may need to rearrange
I’m with you there through this
Dance of time is never ending
Let’s love louder, sacred change
Let’s love louder, sacred change
Times get harder
Let’s love louder
When thoughts grow darker
Let’s love stronger
When hearts grow bitter
Let’s love sweeter
When you can’t seem to find your way
And you don’t know what to say
Take a deep breath and stay
Open hearted
When life isn’t in control
And we’re dancing with the unknown
Take a deep breath
Let go and love louder
Time is never ending sacred change
Let’s Love Louder (Sacred Change) (feat. Hannah Lou Woods)

Author’s note. This blog entry combines musings from a blog entry from March 2015, last night’s Sunday Night Healing Circle and my soul’s guidance. Enjoy!
Do you ever wonder about the soundbites you hear in the media, from politicians or even from your own guidance? Soundbites like “we need to do something about income inequality”. And from our own guidance, the sound bite of “hold more serenity and release judgment of self and others?” The problem is you don’t normally hear the next 10 sentences that might actually give you some ideas or some action steps to work with these good ideas.
When I heard from my guidance that I needed to have and hold more “serenity” and to “release judgment of self and others” I thought “what are the next 10 sentences.”
This is what I was told.
The Christ teaches us that judgment is THE block to knowing ourselves as Source.
Our lower self looks out at the world and judges a situation. Is the situation good or bad? Does it affect me or my loved ones? Does it affect my livelihood and my way of life? Does it challenge the way I look at myself or the world?
Instead, our Souls look inward and discern, “what is my truth? What is the universal truth regarding this situation? What is in the highest good of all in this situation?” These are the type of questions that concern us at the Soul Level.
Next, the lower self looks out at the outer world situation and judges who is to blame for the situation. Can I be viewed as the victim and therefore, blameless? If it isn’t my fault or “they” started it, can I be viewed as justified, if I retaliate?
Again, our Souls look inward and discern, “what do I need to do to raise my vibration and the vibration of all to heal the situation?” Our Souls aren’t concerned about keeping a scorecard, who may or may not have started it, who may or may not have dirt on their hands. The Souls are concerned about returning to when all we felt was love. There is no scorecard. We aren’t playing for keeps. We are just playing. Life on earth is a grand experiment and illusion.
Of course, those last few statements sound like new age sound bites. So here are the next few sentences. Use the techniques you have been exposed to in energy classes, healing circles and by listening to your guidance to raise your vibration. It can be as easy as choosing one higher frequency action over a lower frequency action every day to help. You know what the higher frequency action is. For instance, listening to soothing music vs scrolling through your news feed. You can join a Reiki Circle or practice your favorite hobby, take a walk outside in nature or enjoy a good book. Or almost any action that keeps your blood pressure stable vs. scrolling through your news feed.
Finally, the lower self looks out and asks, “How can I save face?” The Soul isn’t concerned about saving face, it is ONLY concerned about learning all that can be learned in the experiment zone, wrapping up the experiment and recognizing the Love and the Light in Everyone and Everything.
Our souls want us to work with discernment and non-judgment instead of hold on to old judgments. In discernment we can tell black from white, up from down without judging either as good or bad. They are just different. Being able to discern one thing from another is going to help us to determine the highest plan action step. If we are only determining our action steps from 3D judgment, or even concepts of “this is how it is done in the 3D world” then we might be giving our power away to old patterns, to the way this has always been done.
When we use 5D non-judgment and 5D discernment, we will be able to take the next step on the path that is in the highest good of all without falling into the old patterns of guilt, shame, or regret.
I have told this story before. I remember visiting a resort town in West Virginia. My husband and I were eating lunch next to three families. One table had all the kids and one dad at it. The second table had the rest of the adults. The kids were playing a board game where the goal was to get to the center of the board first and then, the game would be over. The first girl to get to the center of the board said, “Let’s play until we all win.” That is how our Souls feel about this grand experiment and the board game we call Life on Earth. There is no loser, there is no scorecard, we play until we all win. No one is left behind.
If we can start to look at everything from the perspective of Our Souls and The Spiritual Hierarchy with discernment about what we can learn from the situation instead of looking with judgment as to who is to blame, we can start to tailor our actions and beliefs to be more in alignment with universal truths and hold less judgment. That is how you hold more serenity. Eliminate judgment of self and others and what is left is serenity.

We are so much more than our programming. I received a recent reminder of this from The Wild Robot, an animated film currently streaming on Netflix. Roz is a robot designed to serve humans who crashes on an island inhabited only by animals. She searches for a new purpose and finds one in caring for an orphaned gosling. She was never programmed for this task, but she is committed to completing it and finds the resources and helpers she needs along the way. When she finally meets another robot, it comes out that she’s been over-riding her original coding in order to fulfill her new purpose, which shouldn’t be possible. Except, it is.
As Lightworkers, we understand intellectually that we are the creators of all our experiences. But we still sometimes give our power away to our fears, habits and false beliefs. We may understand consciously that we created these very self-imposed limitations but have also forgotten that we have the power to heal and transcend them. Maybe we just need to connect with a new purpose to propel us forward.
I’ve been working recently with my own needs and desires to “fix” things and make the world a “better place”. Many Lightworkers can relate! The rescuer, the warrior, the martyr and/or the protector are all energies that we may need to work on healing within ourselves. It may also be time to meditate on ways that we’re still holding onto old beliefs about our purpose within the Experiment in Duality. We may have made promises of service or to guide others or humanity as a whole. Being of service or being a guide are divine experiences as part of our learning. But vows or commitments to bind ourselves to those roles indefinitely can also keep us stagnant in our evolution. Roz experiences setbacks and obstacles as she creates a new path, but she perseveres and develops new parts of herself that are beyond her original coding. She expands her beliefs about who she is and becomes a new and unique being.
Ask your soul to help you find ways to be like Roz and connect with a new purpose that is in alignment with who you are now rather than who you’ve been. Free yourself of old programming. Allow yourself to step out of old roles that no longer serve you or anyone else. They may have served you once, so give gratitude for them, free of judgment. Then take your next steps into your new chapter. Have fun creating your vision, be open to help in unexpected places and have patience to allow it to unfold in divine timing.

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.
