Trusting our natural ability to heal

Posted on October 7, 2020 by new desert

Dear Ones,

This week feels like an unusual week as I returned to the pristine beauty of northern California. Experiencing somewhat of a paradox, and yet attempting to link the physiological with the spiritual.

As I was meditating in the forest yesterday morning, I got stung by a wasp. My eyes were closed and I didn’t see the animal coming. I witnessed the venom—or the nectar—travelling through the top of my hand. It seemed to be contained for a few hours. Yet started spreading again to the point that, by the middle of the night, it had progressed to the base of my fingers and around my wrist. My skin became itchy and the irritation was well alive.

As I reflected on this fluid’s unusual journey throughout the extremity of my limb, I realized that it played a purpose similar to the one I came here for: soliciting my body’s natural ability to fight and heal so that, eventually, it would remove impurities.

Impurities of the body, as well as impurities of the mind, heart and soul.

It feels like tremendous work to undertake, unearthing our ripening karma in the process, tackling our conscious—or not so conscious—fears and phobias; yet healing is an essential function if we want to move forward toward our personal—and collective—purpose. And usher as “fresh and vibrant beings” into this New Earth.

In retrospect, the wasps may be playing a role similar to the one the global pandemic has forced us to address and combat since the beginning of the year.

Are we ready to use our natural ability to heal to the utmost?

Are we willing to do it?

The new energies filtering in

Posted on September 30, 2020 by new desert

Dear Ones,

We will soon be entering a crucial period of our evolution; a period that may bring much chaos and some destruction as well. With planets giving us a hand to purge whatever we—on both a global and a personal level—need to purge and purify.

The planet Mars went retrograde on September 9th and will continue until November 14th. Apparently, the period from October 4th till December 24th (when Mars is in Pisces) will be the most volatile, dixit Joni Patry, a Vedic astrologer. Here is the advice that Joni has when it comes to the opportunities soon facing us.

“Beginning October 14th, Mercury is retrograde until November 3rd. Along with Mars retrograde, all communications will go haywire. These are times that will be historically remembered as some of the most ground-shaking events.

Mars retrograde is a time when we have the opportunity to heal past issues of anger. Let’s investigate what anger is actually about in order to better understand it in our own lives and, more importantly, to see how we can resolve it. When we don’t heal our anger issues, they can control our lives and eventually wreak havoc on our health. We react to events in our lives in various unconscious and negative ways.”

While these times may be tumultuous and challenging, I can see a silver lining with new, supportive energies coming in. At their own pace. Yesterday was a special day and I took it that it announces something of a beautiful nature. Not the day itself, but the fact that energies felt pure and aligned.

I saw 11:11 in the morning and then 12:12 and 1:1 in the afternoon. I was involved in a conference call for some time. I then checked my messages on Facebook. A friend wrote to me at 3:33 and it was 4:44 when I responded.

Some things or energies cannot be dismissed when they speak so loudly.

Perhaps we cannot hear or feel the new yet, but I can tell it is being birthed. Silently and joyously.

Can you hear it?

Purifying our hearts and minds

Posted on September 23, 2020 by new desert

Dear Ones,

This week’s invitation might be a little circumvoluted. I wanted to talk about fears and negative thoughts (yesterday) and ended up today aiming for the presence of Divine Consciousness—which is within all of us, in infinite measure.

As a follow-up theme to last week’s discussion, I initially wanted to explore more deeply those “emotionally-charged areas” mentioned below.

“Most people are quite self-occupied, living in the realm of their own making. But when a Buddha comes along, the charged areas you have managed to hide can get quite a workout. You find out where they are and hopefully are motivated to heal them. Thus, you say “thank you!””

What are these charged areas, for each of us, and where do they come from?

And what do they bring to the surface of our lives?

We cannot decently hope to make progress on the spiritual path unless we ruthlessly scrutinize what comes out of our minds and hearts.

Fears is one of these areas where it is important to venture. Identifying their nature can only help to resolve the “puzzle of the mind.” And then we can let them go—or purify them—for good.

One fear that has been sticking solidly lately is the fear of lack and it is hard—for my mind—to identify where it is coming from; possibly from one or two lives that I recently unearthed.

Another one that has been mentioned to me on Sunday is the fear of separation—separation from the Divine, that is. Honestly, I had only the vaguest idea as to why and how it manifests. And my mind decided to start investigating.

This morning, however, I decided to let go of the questioning and aim for the heart, where Divine Love resides.

I was then reminded of two instances or words that I heard lately. The first ones are from Master Djwhal, when he said.

“The journey from the mind to the heart is the longest one.”

Yet it is certainly one that is worth taking if we are to reside in Divine Consciousness.

The second one came from a post by the Arcturian group, and it echoes very well what I just wrote.

What a nice way to (sort of) jump back into my feet!

“It is very important that you learn to let negative thoughts and feelings flow through and out without claiming them to be personally yours simply because you are aware of them. The hundreds of negative thoughts and beliefs that float about in collective consciousness are always impersonal because they are not reality–Divine Consciousness. The moment you claim them as yours, they become yours and then begin to draw to you similar energy.

The only qualities that are personal to you are those of Divine Consciousness. Begin to claim these qualities rather than every three-dimensional belief about money, health, spirituality etc. that comes floating into your awareness from the collective.

If you find that some similar negative thought seems to consistently present itself, it means you are somehow in alignment with that energy, drawing it to you. Use the experience to discover and clear the beliefs that are behind the consistent thought. A good example is a person who always thinks and worries about their health and who automatically comes down with whatever disease is popular at the moment.”

Arcturian Group Message September 20, 2020 | Marilyn Raffaele

And the Creator’s post this morning felt like a cherry on the cake—explaining the pressure I have been feeling in the past few days.

With the arrival of the most recent energy, some of you may actually be questioning your sanity. (Smiling) The reality of this situation is that you are being given yet another opportunity to clear your deep darks, the niggling things sitting deep in your psyche that may keep you from moving forward. This is a definitive invitation from The Universe to examine, thank and release. Without them, you would not be where you are today. In letting them go, you will be able to find a deeper peace within. ~ Creator

Seeing the Buddha in everyone

Posted on September 15, 2020 by new desert

Dear Ones,

Here is the assignment I have been working on since last night. It is an interesting one, which produces unexpected results.

And one of the first question that came was,

“Does a Buddha project fear?”

Would you like to try?

And see what happens?

 

“One of the kindest gifts you can offer to your family and friends is to begin seeing a Buddha in each of them. As you practice this way of seeing others, you will notice that the practice benefits them as well as you. The place to start is with those who irritate or frustrate you. In the east, when someone arises in your field of experiencing who triggers you emotionally, you say “thank you!” because you know this one to be a manifestation of a Buddha. Why else would he or she go to all the trouble to show you where your emotional charges lie?

 

Most people are quite self-occupied, living in the realm of their own making. But when a Buddha comes along, the charged areas you have managed to hide can get quite a workout. You find out where they are and hopefully are motivated to heal them. Thus, you say “thank you!”

 

Such is the gift of a Buddha in your life! Clearly, what you get out of the adventure is wholeness. What the other person gets out of it is the very powerful, positive energy of you projecting him or her as a Buddha. Sometimes, it is just as simple as bowing to that person—inwardly, if not outwardly. Of course, it can be difficult for the ego to bow when you meet someone with whom you have a history of feeling frustration or irritation. What better opportunity to confront the ego and push through its forcefield into a clearer personal space? In other words, act like a Buddha!”

Maintaining the positive

Posted on September 7, 2020 by new desert

Dear Ones,

In times when there is a lot going on, troubles, divisiveness, violence, storms and so on, it is important to keep a positive attitude and make sure we do not fall into the doom and gloom which is so prevalent in our society—and in politics especially.

And that we keep our hands firmly on the rudder of our life, even though the direction we are aiming for as humanity may not be clear. It is important to remain as positive as possible, and as aware as one could possibly be.

Therefore, this week, I would like to dedicate our communion to those of us who strive to do “just that.” To cultivate the positive in their lives.

Despite the strange encounters we may be making, the fears and anxiety we may be facing, the karmic aspects we may be dealing with, and so much more.

There are indeed a lot of distractions—and plenty of temptations—in our world.

This is not directly related to the theme yet I found this morning’s walk to the nearby mall interesting. The theme for this week was already ruminating and we came across three similar types of situations.

Within ten minutes, we saw a man buy three packs of cigarettes in a store—in fact, our barber! Then another one in a wheelchair smoking; and finally, a third one walking around and yes, smoking.

It is not sufficient that (some) people damage their health, they also need to give away money that will never bring any form of return except, perhaps, as a disease.

As I always like to say, “Awareness is key.”

Let’s cultivate more awareness this Thursday as we maintain—and reinforce—the positive in our lives.

Love as a guidepost for Humanity

Posted on August 24, 2020 by new desert

Dear Ones,

We often addressed the theme of Love, if not directly in a title, then in our many discussions and exchanges.

As we evolve, we gradually understand—and develop—the Power of Love, in our lives. Society follows the same path, at its own pace and with its ‘personal bumps,’ as the human species progresses. Yet it seems that this Power, this influence, is becoming more pressing these days, rearing its beautiful head, even in politics. A new language is being concocted. it seems; one that appeals more and more to everyone of us.

Times have certainly changed; expressing Love, talking about Love, has become a second nature for many; a sense of wonder-Love is clearly and gently making its way into every pore of society.

Hence the image of a guidepost, influencing every area of Human affairs.

Yesterday I happened to relisten to a conversation that I had with Master Djwhal in March of 2013—over seven years ago. He had asked me to reflect on the meaning of Love and the answer I pulled at the time was that,

“Love is like a lighthouse for Humanity.”

I added,

“Love creates a beam that lights people’s path and helps them find their true identity.”

A lighthouse, a guidepost, we are in the domain of bringing out and shining the Light—our Light—so that Humanity as a whole can step out of the darkness that prevailed for many centuries.

If everyone wanted to reflect upon the seven years past, I’m sure she or he would realize that Love has made some significant “progress,” both in our lives and in the world. Love did make inroads as a magnificent force, despite some confusing appearances, which work at times like the trees hiding the pristine forest.

The post below indicates, as a further sign of progress, that many people are waking up and that their words and actions are now infused and informed by Love.

Love is indeed making its way in our lives, filling the space we create as we heal and let go of our painful baggage.

Who knows where it will stop?

“High resonating frequencies of Light dissolve and replace those of a lower resonance because there is no Divine law to sustain, maintain, or hold them in place. The higher frequencies of Light now pouring into earth, along with your intention and choice to spiritually evolve and clear old energy, are exposing a tremendous amount of low resonating energy globally as well as personally.

Increasingly more people are beginning to experience a sense of who and what they are and that they themselves—and not others—are the creators of their lives. This move into empowerment is affecting everyone differently because every person interprets life according to the state of her or his consciousness. This is why there is a lot of negative chaos taking place while, at the same time, there are individuals acting from their newly awakened sense of empowerment with positive, uplifting, and more evolved activities based in love.

Because you have evolved to being consciously aware that God/Divine Consciousness is the reality of you and everyone else, your job during these times is to stand back in the light of your awareness and allow the outer process to unfold without trying to direct it. All is progressing as it needs to which may not be how the majority think it should or want it to, based on limited three-dimensional concepts.”

Purification and purity

Posted on August 17, 2020 by new desert

Dear Ones,

“Being grateful” is one of the many flowers that bloom out of a heart that is being cultivated, that is being tended to. We can all attest to that when we turn our heart toward the sun of our lives; so as to receive nourishment.

In our “being grateful” communion last week, one participant mentioned “purity” as the theme of her upcoming paintings exhibit. What a pristine, beautiful theme, which got me reflecting.

How do we purify our lives?

How do we shovel in front of our ‘door’ so that the path clears up?

How do we clear the space between the Divine and ourselves so that it becomes pure enough for us to make a connection?

A connection to our divine path, to our divine mission.

And how do we till our inner ground so that many more flowers can take root?

These are important questions in our days and age, aren’t they?

Being grateful

Posted on August 10, 2020 by new desert

Good morning dear Ones,

Somehow, the theme of being grateful, of cultivating gratitude, has showed up this morning. It is an essential attitude on the path if we want to move forward. Reflecting on the past and harboring resentment can only slow down, if not block, our progress.

I was reminded of some words I read recently,

“For all that has been—Thanks!

To all that shall be—Yes!”

And others I read quite some time ago,

“I give thanks for everything and have no regrets whatsoever.”

We shall be grateful for what we have, for what has happened to us, even in the darkest of moments; and yet I believe we shall also be grateful for what we don’t have; or for something, or even someone, we were searching for and that never landed in our hearts or wallets.

I can think of some examples in my life. What would have happened if we had gotten this or that? Who knows, of course, yet what I am thinking of is “something” which would have limited our freedom to move and, possibly, my freedom to be; and my freedom to grow.

Come to think of it, I can also think of people, or relationships long ago, in places where I wasn’t meant to stay, which would have hindered my destiny.

Some things are meant to happen, some people are meant to cross our paths, and some are simply not.

Why not send a big “thank you” for all that has come to fruition, all that hasn’t, and open ourselves for what is to come?

A subterranean newness

Posted on August 5, 2020 by new desert

It’s a bit of what it feels, dear Ones, when we listen; listen deeply.

A something running underground, another layer which is not going in the same direction as what we see on the surface.

The image that came to mind is that of two conveyors, one running under the other, in opposite direction.

There is a cleansing movement deeply attached to the year we are completing; and there is something else, more subtle, inconspicuous. A something that will bloom in a different time period; in the not-so-distant future.

Perhaps someone needs to help you put your finger on it, as a friend of mine did two days ago.

I was giving her some details about a tragic event that took place in Africa almost fifty-nine years ago—a plane crash.

I then wrote,

“That being said, it has been a while and it is time to open/pursue a new chapter.”

She responded with a question that took me by surprise.

“Did you mean this in regard to the book, the subject matter or your life? :)”

Come to reflect on it, I realized that what I wrote also applies to my life. Even perhaps ‘primarily.’

Did I say inconspicuous?

Happy newness, dear Ones!

The energies of July and beyond

Posted on June 30, 2020 by new desert

How are you, dear Ones?

As we are about the enter the second part of 2020, I was wondering about the gifts—tumultuous and not so tumultuous—that it may bring.

It has been quite an ‘interesting’ first six-month period and humanity cannot stop where it is now after so much ground shaking.

I found two posts that provide some answers. Enjoy these excerpts and feel free to dig a little deeper if you’d like.

You have to be ready to receive what it is that we and the other collectives are offering. You must be willing to ground these energies into your physical bodies, into Mother Earth, and into her grid systems. You are ready to lead humanity into a time of unity, of oneness, of setting aside differences so that you can be the human collective that you have always been meant to become. You are ready. We can feel it. The Sirians can feel it. The Pleiadeans can feel it. The other beings who are helping, ascended masters, archangels, they can all feel it. We know that the awakened collective can handle so much more.

And so, July will be a month to brace yourselves for what you have been asking for. July will be a month where you will want to spend time sitting, relaxing, and receiving, letting the energies coming in do all the heavy lifting from now on, because you have earned it, because you have demonstrated that you are ready to receive, that you are ready to go to the next level. And we, and others like us, are here to help.

https://rainbowwaveoflight.wordpress.com/2020/06/30/the-july-2020-energies-%e2%88%9ethe-9d-arcturian-council/

 

Those of you who are drawn to these messages no longer live under the shadow of the old. You have evolved beyond your previous “seeking” state of consciousness and must now begin to trust that everything is as it needs to be both personally and globally. Do not resist or go into fear but rather rejoice in the realization that the world is experiencing a turning point.

Present times do not feel familiar or comfortable as they did in the past but know that being here at this time is the reason you chose to incarnate. You are being presented with opportunities to live the truth you integrated through many lifetimes of searching and study. You are learning to love yourself and others through your ability to see through appearances to the spiritual reality underlying them which in turn is serving to open and lift the collective.

Be patient for events must unfold gradually in order to be seen, acknowledged, and replaced in a higher form.   Current forms of law, government medicine, education, religion and all things based in concepts of duality and separation must eventually dissolve because the energy that formed them will no longer exist when higher frequencies become dominant in the collective.

Within the next few months, you will witness some interesting events and changes.  By letting go of any remaining concepts of what these changes or results must be or look like, you become a silent witness to the subtle and not so subtle energies now flowing into world consciousness.
