What Life Wants

Singing a New Tune

 

The concept of "Higher Self" is not an easy one for humans to wrap their minds around. The idea that a greater part of your essence resides outside of your physical being seems to strike a blow at the ego with your name on it.

And so you struggle through life on your own, not realizing that there is a Divine part of you whose energy could lift you into a happier way of living. It feels like a Catch-22 sometimes. You have to raise your vibration enough to meet your Higher Self halfway, but unless something triggers you to do this, you stay stuck in your rut of negative energy.

Illness can be a trigger, or a near death experience. Sometimes a beautiful poem or piece of music can lift you up momentarily to sense a new energy around you.

Once you have felt this vibrational shift in your energy, you want more of it and begin to find ways to bring the magical feeling back.

Your search for bliss begins. Books, classes, meditation circles, intuitive readings... a lot of busy work that was fun and gave you some insights, but hardly ever got you in touch with your Higher Self.

But every once in a while, you would come across a teacher or writer who "spoke" to you, whose words contained an energy that pierced your resistance and allowed you to slide closer to the essence of your Higher Self. You recognized when this happened and were grateful for the blissful boost.

And it dawns on you, an inspirational writer of sorts, that one day you might craft a poem or a story that does the same for someone else. That dissolves the barrier between the physical and the eternal aspects of a person and allows a blissful respite, a moment of inner peace in a mundane, hectic life.

The world is in need of new tunes like this. Uplifting poems and enchanting stories.

Dissolve and write. It is time.

Releasing the Past and Moving On

 

Some aspects of the past are easier to release than others. Yet if you wish to go forward, clear and unburdened, you must shed all vestiges of what no longer serves you.

This includes homes, business arrangements, people, artifacts and just ordinary stuff you no longer use. Wrestling yourself away from it all is not easy, but it is necessary if you are to make that leap to the next phase of your journey here on Earth.

Continue with your visioning of the future, but each day also allow some completion to take place in your current surroundings. Pack another box. Cancel a blog you are no longer updating. Crate some more books. Let the Universe know you are ready.

As you consciously attune to your Higher Self energy, this becomes easier. As you release more of your old self-identity, this becomes easier. There is nothing you need to "hold together" any longer. When you allow yourself to dissolve into the eternal essence that you are, Life gets easier. Nothing is a problem and everything gets done.

This is your promised land and it awaits you.

Dream Symbol: Park Your Car and Walk

 

In dream symbolism, parking your car can mean you are either not easily moving to where you want to go or you need to take a break from too much "driven" busyness. Walking a long distance from car to destination in dusky darkness could indicate hesitation about where you were planning to end up.

The degree of frustration you felt during your dream points to the need for more clarity about the direction you are taking. And why you are making things harder on yourself by walking when you could just as easily ride.

You have visions in your mind of what you would like to do and where you would like to go next. At the same time, your thoughts are scattered and your actions disjointed about finding the route to your destination.

In that case, you might want to stop for a few minutes, close your eyes and retrace your dream steps. Retrieve your parked car, get in and start the motor.

In other words, take charge of your mental dithering and reign in your trepidations. You will be traveling roads you have not taken before.

Walking is fine for exercising your muscles and pushing oxygen around your body, but a trip to the mountains wants a comfortable, sturdy, all-terrain vehicle.

Now put the key in the ignition and start moving already. Surrender to what Life wants. No more excuses.   

A Fine Line

 

What do you do when you are close to completing a project but your body begins to signal that it is having difficulty pushing through the weariness? Do you carry on anyway or do you pay attention to the physical protests and stop to rest?

Sometimes it is not the work itself that is creating the physical discomfort but an impending illness trying to catch hold. Do you ignore that and keep going?

If your reserves of energy feel depleted, of course you must stop and recharge. Lie down and sleep, meditate, listen to high vibrational music... whatever works to replenish your system to a state of well-being.

On the other hand, if you feel you can catch a second wind, by all means carry on and complete your project. Your energy will rise automatically with the joy of accomplishment you will feel.

But there is a fine line between "stop" and "go" here. You will need to tune in to your body to understand what your physical self can manage. Which physical symptoms indicate that it is time to switch gears for awhile and which can you safely ignore?

And why are you feeling tired in the first place? Do you have too much on your plate... or is the work not in alignment with your Higher Self and your purpose?

Something to ponder before you doze.

Miles To Go Before I Sleep

 

In earthly life, work must be balanced with rest, or your physical body protests. As you raise your vibration, your body needs less food, less rest and less outside stimulation to feel fully alive. Until then, however, you must respect your physical needs.

Today you have a full plate of activities awaiting you. But you are weary. Do you push your body to its limits, ignoring the sore throat and weariness you feel, or do you give yourself the rest you crave?

Sometimes common sense must prevail over duty. Other times - for example, when lives are at stake - you must push through the tiredness and carry on.

Is it more efficient to rest now and have more energy to do your work? Or will your body sustain you until you can rest later?

Is that your bed calling out to you? You made it to our 6:30 AM blogging appointment. Go now and rest a little longer.

And do not feel guilty about grabbing a few extra winks. Your work will be more productive when you can bring 100% of you to the job.

Rivers Do Not Flow Uphill

Divine Energy of Life... if we know we are to love everyone unconditionally, why do we still feel uncomfortable around certain people?

Unconditional love is the ideal. The way to achieve this is to surrender into the love of the Infinite. This means giving up your sense of individual identity and allowing yourself to be at one with the Infinite, with all Life.  

You are not there yet. As you consciously blend your energy more and more with your Higher Self, you will find it easier to see the Light within others. On the other hand, as you continue to refine your energy, you will discover that lower vibrating energy does not feel good to be around. You will have difficulty being in crowds, for example.

You will naturally begin seeing some family and friends less... and others more. It feels better to be around positive people than those who complain or are angry. You will distill the number and type of people you spend time with, not through meanness, but through natural selection.

Where you feel joyful, you will abide. Where there is an uphill battle to remain positive, you will depart. This will happen with people, jobs, locations, events, activities, reading material... with pretty much every aspect of your life. You have already noticed this in your mystery book reading and the foods you choose.

Your vibrational energy determines the flow of your Life. If you do not wish to live in a monastery, you must do what you can in your day-to-day life to live in harmonious surroundings, to take the high road in your decision-making and to pay attention to the messages from within.

Rivers do not flow uphill. If you wish to "go with the flow" of Life, lighten your load by releasing what no longer serves. You do not want to sink on your journey to the sea.

 

What Does Life Want Regarding “Earth Changes?"

 

  

Good morning Divine Energy of Life… could you please advise me on why I woke so many times in the night? I didn’t know if the solar flares were causing this, or something else. Thank you.

A number of reasons: your bladder, not sleeping soundly and so being wakened by your son when he got up in the night, worrying about not getting enough sleep because of our early morning appointment… nothing really to do with solar flares.

Thank you… I wondered if perhaps there was a blog post in there somewhere, with all the solar activity this past week.

The solar flares will disrupt earth-based functions, including your weather, but they were not the reason for your wakefulness.

While we are on the subject of earth disruptions, what does Life want regarding “earth changes?”

Life wants planet Earth to regain her equilibrium.

There is so much more going on than you can visibly see. Planet Earth is in a well-designed dance with other planets in the cosmos. But this is not a static situation. Everything is always in motion; everything is always in a state of flux.

Stars are born and stars “die,” mountains rise and mountains sink back into oceans, ice ages come and go… all of this happening while the planets (in your solar system) carry on their swirling dance around and around your universe. Planet Earth’s well-being is influenced by many factors… including man-made negligence and the birthing of stars far, far away that you can not even see. What you call “earth changes” are merely natural phenomena that occur as part of this cosmic dance.

While these natural events may be disruptive to humans, their purpose is essential to helping Earth maintain her position and function in the galaxy. “Life” is in every molecule within every bacteria, person, planet, universe and dimension. Life is in the worlds you can see and in those you have not yet learned to see. When you can raise your awareness above your personal situation and consider multiple universes and dimensions, your perception of “what Life wants” shifts accordingly.

Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and unsettling weather are just the Earth taking a deep breath in order to relax and get more comfortable in the shifting galactic energies. Resisting change can be painful; relaxing into the situation makes it easier. And that is what the earth adjustments are all about – the Earth's surrendering into, rather than resisting against, what is to come.

 

 

Surrendering to What Life Wants

Divine Energy of Life… please tell me what I need to know.

You hear much about the word “surrender” and we wish to clarify what this means for the spiritual seeker.

“Surrender” does not mean throwing in the towel in defeat. It does not mean someone or something has won and you have lost. Surrender simply means brushing aside your own strong-willed nature in order to do what Life wants in any situation.

For example, this morning you would have preferred to sleep later because you were tired. Yet you “surrendered” to the agreement we had made about working together in the early mornings. You perhaps recognized that a battle of wills between yourself and Life might not be much fun.

Or perhaps you remembered that this is your learning time and of value to you personally. It matters not why you honored your agreement to rise earlier to write. You did it. You surrendered to the higher value of learning than to the need for sleep.

What Life wants is always for your highest good, when seen in the context of eternity.
