In
every moment you are given the opportunity to recreate
yourself. Who you are is as malleable as play dough. And
you have experiences every day that allow you to make
choices indicating who you are in the moment.
Who
are you being? Are you peace? Are you compassion? Are
you freedom? Are you happy? Are you expressing joy and
beauty in all that you are and all that you do?
Or
are you angry at some one or some thing? Do you feel stuck
in your job or a relationship or life itself? Do you feel
that life would be wonderful if only . . . (you fill in
the blank.) Are you afraid of anything like war perhaps?
The
Truth is you are a Divine being with Divine qualities,
part of God, living on planet earth full of its illusion
and mistruths. Those illusions and mistruths make you
forget who you really are. They make you feel separate
from all things, from God, from your Divine Self.
If
you feel, or perhaps have even pledged, that you are a
Lightworker here to shed more light on Planet Earth, then
your job is at hand.
Your
job may include gathering in groups for prayer and meditation,
or traveling to sacred sites to activate this, or open
some portal, or whatever you feel your job entails.
But,
my friend, your greatest work is how you live your life
every day. Your greatest job and often the most challenging
one is the choice you make in who you are being right
now. Are you the illusion or are you The Truth. Are you
a person being tossed around by the whims of the Universe
or are you The Divine creating your reality in every moment,
ever One with God, always with your mind and heart on
the greater Truth?
Are
you genuinely compassionate and radiating love or are
you merely pretending? Are you still angry at your former
spouse whom you felt did you wrong? Are you still angry
at yourself for that mess you got yourself into perhaps
financial or romantic in nature? Do you find yourself
angry at God in certain moments?
Its
time to be real - in Truth - on all levels. Its time to
stop pretending that you are something you are not. Its
time to stop pretending to yourself and to everyone else.
Are
you afraid? Then admit it. Are you angry? Then admit it.
Recognizing and acknowledging that these things exist
and are part of who you are is the first step in the process
of healing.
How
in touch are you with what you really believe?
Most
people think they believe one thing, but in truth, they
believe another. Why is that? Because most people think
their beliefs are what they understand with their logical
mind.
But
when I say, “What do you believe?” I'm talking
about what beliefs, or fears, or judgments do you hold
that are running your life. Those patterns that continually
run on automatic pilot that cause such havoc - the ones
most people do not even look at.
You
affirm wellness, yet you remain sick. What do you truly
believe that is causing that to be so?
You
affirm affluence and abundance, yet remain in financial
struggle. What do you truly believe that is causing that
to be so?
You
affirm that you want, are ready for, and are worthy of
love, yet you don't have an intimate relationship. What
do you really believe that is causing that to be so?
You
affirm that you are Peace, yet certain people or situations
really set you off, make you angry, or cause you to react
or to judge them as wrong. Take a look at your judgment
of the rightness or wrongness of the war for example.
We
say, as Lightworkers, that there is no right or wrong
or good or bad. We say that “God Is” and there
is nothing else. So every person, place, and thing on
planet earth and the entire known and unknown universe
is part of God. We say there is perfection and Divine
timing in all things. Yet, often, we view world events
as wrong.
These
are my definitions of the words “to understand”
and “to know.” To understand something means
to comprehend it with the logical mind. To know something
to truly believe it - is to understand it, not just with
the logical mind, but with every part of your being body,
mind, and soul. What you “know” is what your
true beliefs are.
Here
is an interesting example: One of the Ten Commandments
from the Bible reads: “Thou shalt not kill.”
Pretty simple to understand. There are no added clauses,
exceptions, or disclaimers you know all the additions
lawmakers create when making laws. This law just says
“Thou shalt not kill.” You will also notice
that it doesn't say anything about “Thou shalt not
kill other people.” It doesn't say that. It also
doesn't say “Thou shalt not kill other people that
are like you, having the same beliefs, the same skin color,
the same dogma.” It says “Thou shalt not kill.”
So, as I interpret this, it means that killing, of anything,
is not O.K. with God. That’s how I read it anyway.
Yet
there are piles of people who say they believe in the
Bible and what it says. But, if you look at their actions,
they don't follow that basic law. They kill all kinds
of things. They kill other humans for believing in a different
God. They killed certain people that were supposed to
be witches. They kill women and children and take over
other countries for “God and Country.” Seems
a little strange to me since the Bible says “Thou
shalt not kill.”
They
also kill animals for food. They kill insects because
they are annoying. They kill the planet by polluting everything.
They kill the rainforest in the name of progress. So for
those people who do those things and say they believe
in the Bible - what they believe and what they understand
are two very different things. They may understand what
the Bible says. But they don't really believe it now do
they?
Now
I'm not saying you should or should not believe in a law
mentioned in the Bible. That is entirely up to you and
your own inner guidance. I'm just saying as someone who
grew up in a Christian home, I noticed some inconsistency
between what was being said and what was being done by
people who claimed they believed the Bible.
If
your physical body, your emotional body, your mental body,
your spiritual body, and any other bodies I'm not even
aware of that make up who you are aren't lined up in agreement
about what you believe, then what you think you believe
with the logical mind will NOT prevail.
Here
is an example that happened to me personally. I don't
know about the rest of you, but I've been given many opportunities
to understand my true beliefs in the last several weeks.
This one was the most dramatic.
My
former husband, Raven, decided to visit one of our friends,
Judith Moore. I decided it would be a nice opportunity
to get out of the house for awhile, so the whole family
piled into the jeep. When Raven started it up, it was
revving too high. So he turned off the engine and started
it again. It seemed to calm down the engine. The entire
way over it was revving too high. Suddenly Raven lost
steering and brakes. We were going down a really windy
road and there wasn't time to re-crank the car. He had
hold of the steering wheel as tight as he could and his
foot jammed to the floor and he had no control of our
vehicle. We went careening off a cliff. The jeep skidded
to a stop teetering on the edge. We could have tipped
and rolled several times at any moment.
We
decided to not move any more than we had to thinking that
repositioning our weight might cause us to tip over. Jesse
was almost upside down hanging from the safety harness
in his car seat.
Now
this is one of those moments when you can't pretend. You
are who you are. You believe what you believe. And in
that moment I discovered that not all aspects of myself
were in alignment when it came to safety. I remained emotionally
and mentally quite calm. I wasn't crying or screaming
or any other kind of reaction like that. My mind was very
active trying to figure out the fastest and safest thing
we should be doing to get ourselves out of this predicament.
I also turned to God for assistance and quickly did a
little meditation creating a column of light (like a steel
rod) from heaven, through the Jeep, into mother earth
to stabilize the vehicle. But, my body was flipping out.
My heart was pounding and the adrenaline running through
my system was almost unbearable. My body was terrified.
It
all turned out fine. About 6 cars stopped the instant
we went off the road. A big white truck pulled up behind
us, a large hook and chain was placed on the back axle,
and we were pulled to safety. Then the truck just drove
away. We never even got to say thank you except by waving
as the truck went by.
Now
I did the best I could in the moment. And I feel I did
pretty well. Most of me stayed calm and I didn't mentally
go into fear. But the fear was very real nonetheless.
So, in that moment, was I “at one” with all
things? Was I at peace within myself and my world regardless
of what was happening? No. My truth in that moment was
fear. Physical fear. Pure and simple.
Realizing
what your current truth is allows you to change your current
truth. Truth is as you define it. And your job is to discover
your truth about everything and change those truths you
hold that are no longer serving you. You have to discover
the truths that are illusion and replace them with the
big Truth the Divine Truth the Truth that keeps you ever
connected to God.
Its
easy, in the moment, to discover what your mind believes.
Just observe what you are thinking. And its also quite
easy to discover what is happening in the emotional body.
How do you feel? That’s a pretty easy question to
answer.
But
the physical body and the subconscious mind are trickier
to get in touch with. Sometimes the easiest way to discover
what they believe is to begin a dialogue with them almost
like they are separate from you. I have found journaling
very beneficial. The easiest time to seek The Truth is
while you are in the middle of something whether it be
an upset, an argument, or whatever. The stronger the emotions,
the easier it is to get to the root cause of them.
So,
while you are in the middle of it, or just after something
that upset you has occurred, sit down with yourself and
ask some questions. I define something that upset you
as anything that takes you away from feeling centered
and balanced or not in joy. Write down both the question
and whatever answer pops into your mind.
For
example, say a friend just called you and something they
said upset you. When the call is over you notice that
you are really not feeling pleased with the conversation
or how you are feeling right now. Get out your journal
and ask yourself questions like: “Why did my friend’s
comment about ______ (fill in the blank) cause me to feel
_______ (again fill in the blank).” Write down whatever
answer you get. Usually the answer automatically leads
to many more questions. Keep following up with another
question until you feel you have discovered the “root
cause” of the problem. Usually it will be very obvious
when you have found your truth.
You
may want to continue with questions like: - “Do
I have a fear, or belief, or judgment that made me react
so strongly to the comment? - Did I experience something
in my past that this comment is bringing up for me? -
Is my reaction related to a larger issue? And on and on.
Once
you uncover an underlying fear, or belief, or judgment,
be sure to ask the all important question: “Where
did I first take on this false belief, this fear, or this
judgment?” When you know the event and circumstance
that anchored in this belief, then you have easy access
to its transmutation and complete healing.
This
can sometimes be done by simply using logic - explaining
to your subconscious that “I know in the past this
thing happened, but it isn't possible for that to happen
to us now. We are grown up, those people no longer have
an influence in our lives, etc.” Sometimes you just
intuitively know what to say to change the belief.
Other
times you might look to something like Dolphin
Spiral Technology in Freeway to Freedom which works specifically
in this area to permanently transmute and heal mistruths
whether you are able to access the root cause or experience
that anchored it in or not.
Or
you may wish to have someone facilitate your release and
transmutation of the belief. There are many gifted people
out there who assist in this kind of work. It is often
my main focus when assisting private clients.
We
are all being asked to “stand up and be counted.”
If we are the Light of the world, then that light needs
to be clear of any false beliefs. Its time to shine light
on your own illusions dissolving forever their negative
influence in your life.
Blessings
to your journey,
Takara
I
