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.
