Who Wrote What?

Many readers want to know which one of us actually wrote each article.  Having experienced merging into Oneness with each other and All, we no longer have a desire or need to individually claim ownership to an article or posting.  The truth is, we are co-creators from the moment the article comes to our attention until it is in full form.  When you are in your full power you are no longer seeking acknowledging pats on the back, you're just speaking your truth.

Ascension

Is Your

Birthright


This is an exciting time to be on Earth, a time many of us have been anxiously waiting for.  Despite the magnificence of this time, some people are experiencing rapid shifts in their consciousness and awareness.  This can make us feel temporarily off balance or unstable.  Others are receiving Divine guidance that is confusing or contrary to anything ever heard before.  This can make us want to listen to our mind rather than our Higher Self.  Some of our earlier teachers are passing on messages that sound more like doom and gloom rather than the thrill of this new dawning.  This can make us feel fearful or always on the edge, waiting for some 'thing' to happen.  Ascension is our birthright; it is our pathway to ultimate fulfillment, joy and passion for life.  These times and all the changes and shifts within them are to be embraced, honored and welcomed.  The time is now.  New Earth is here.  We only have to be willing to do the personal clearing work and open to our Higher Self in order to receive it.  Our intent is to assist others in creating ease, grace, celebration and enjoyment of the process.

Blessed IS,
J & J



Me, My Self & I

 
 

Me

Your human body.
Your physical, mental and emotional bodies.

 

My Self

Your spiritual body.
The part of you that holds cellular and karmic
memory from other lifetimes.
This body is very much tied into your Me.

 

I

Your I AM Self, True Self, Soul,
Higher Self, or All That IS.
This body is not affected by the Me

or My Self experiences.

 

 All the way back to the beginning of time,
And infinitely forward, years ahead of Now,

 You Exist.

 

Releasing blocks and attachments occurs in the 'Me' and 'My Self' aspects of you.  As you clear those aspects, it allows your "I" to break free.  Once free, the I Am Self can easily and constantly access All universal information, from the beginning of time and infinitely forward.  Some believe that all times and dimensions are occurring in this moment and there is no linear timeline.  It does not matter whether you believe that or if you believe in past lives and futures lives.  All of Everything exists and is always available through your I Am Self. 

Part of our personal process in releasing attachments and blocks in our Me and My Self bodies has been learning to stay connected to not only our Higher Self or I AM Self, but aspects of our I Am Self in other realities, timelines or dimensions.  As we become more experienced and consistent with these connections it becomes easier to embrace and release the human brain egoic attachments that limit our belief of possibilities.  One of the most powerful and common limits is found within the religious belief systems that posit God as out there somewhere, outside of us.  We are all aspects of God, which is All That IS, Being every where, every when, and All knowing.  That is all part of our "I Am Self." 

Think about this.  Do you want to be guided by your human bodies, whether physical, mental, emotional or spiritual, which hold attachments and beliefs systems acquired from others who are still in separation consciousness?  Do you feel safe knowing how distorted and illusioned those make your human bodies?  How about engaging directly with your Higher Self or I Am Self, whose information comes directly from All That IS?  Every moment, event, and situation will be handled perfectly and in Divine order.  Your choices and guidance will always be in the Highest Good.  There would be no need to doubt your self, feel shameful, guilty, unworthy or fearful.  When you connect and listen to your I Am Self, your guidance includes wisdom and knowledge from all your other embodiments as well.  It also includes the wisdom of lessons you have already learned.  You have access to knowledge and wisdom of All, so even if your I Am Self hasn't personally experienced it in another embodiment, All that IS can provide the correct choices, answers and guidance for you.

We have discovered that most channeling is nothing more than connecting with one's own I Am Self.  Often the 'messenger' appears to us in the form of another Being, however if you accept that we are All One and part of All That IS, you understand that the Being is simply just another aspect of your Self.  No matter who your mind creates as the visual perception, the message is coming through your Higher Self.  When we can own being the Source of this higher information, our ego isn't engaged in the messages we receive.  There is no more 'interpreting' involved between the brain and Higher Self.  The ego operates on its limited human brain database.  No matter how wonderful a channel is, (and we have both served as channels for others) the possibility of them slightly misconstruing the interpretation of the message is quite certain.  Even a slight misconstruing can change the meaning of the message greatly.  We have seen this in channels we've been reading from others.  Their message coincides with what we are receiving, but there are small points where the channel's mind could not grasp the full concept.  Their slight difference in interpretation changed the message greatly.  For us, it has been quite challenging to accept all the new information we are receiving.  Often we catch our minds engaging, asking questions like, "How is that possible?", or "I've never seen or heard of this before".  Over and over again we are reminded to stay open and listen only to our I Am Selves.  We have been shown how our minds created some distortion within our channels from last Fall and earlier this year.  It is understood that at the time, we were not able to fathom the true message with our egoic brain, 'who had never seen or heard this before'.  It was our brain that disconnected us from the depth of the message. 

Owning that you are part of All That IS, and truly becoming your own Source is extremely empowering.  It is another critical step in opening all of your Self to New Earth. In opening your I Am Self to unlimited possibilities, you allow your Me and My Self to let go of that which no longer serves your Highest Good. 

Isn't it time to listen to you, as the empowered, all knowing Being you Are?  Isn't it time to own the wisdom and knowledge that comes from being One with All That IS?  Why not move into your own Paradise reality by releasing dependencies, blocks and attachments that only hold you back?


 

Imagine Your Possibilities

 

Let's look at some of the possibilities which may arise as you connect with your I Am Self.  As you connect with the knowledge, wisdom and experience of All, you may be shown some things your egoic brain will likely believe to be nonsense.  Sometimes we receive this information through dreams because our brain does not have to be involved when we sleep.  We can easily pass it off as a 'weird dream' the next day.  Wouldn't it be great if you could stay open to seeing the wisdom and knowledge while awake and alert, taking notes and applying it consciously to your life and path?  The secret to staying open is in welcoming whatever shows up.  If our egoic brain has never experienced the visions and experiences during this embodiment, it can feel fear and doubt when it comes through you.  If it helps you to think of these messages as a fiction story with an underlying message, do it that way at first.  As you learn to disengage your mind more and more you will not need to anymore. The important thing is to find the wisdom, the message, and the meaning behind it.  Don't try to make sense of it.  Here are some examples of what you may experience when you open to all time and dimension of your I Am Self. 

Suppose you were living on a water planet as a sea serpent where all sea serpents were hermaphrodites, containing both sexes physically and reproducing without emotions or relationships.  This planet was free of separation of Self.  Imagine what it would feel like to live without emotions or separate gender.

One day, All That Is thought of a new planetary experience where the living beings would have emotions.  Each being would have either a male or female body that would have different functions in the reproduction process.  You were invited to be part of the First Egg which came to Earth to start the grand experiment.   What knowledge might you, as the sea serpent, hold that could assist you in your life on Earth?  How could it help you embrace the idea of wholeness of Self, and owning both feminine and masculine energies?

Now, what if your I AM Self is also experiencing being embodied on an alternate reality, another time on Earth, where the inhabitants are dragons.  Do not fear becoming the dragon or seeing pictures of how it was.  Let your Self show you how they experienced life on Earth.  How might they serve as guides or guardians for you now?  

What if your I AM Self is also experiencing being embodied as a human on a future timeline of the Earth, 5000 years in the future? Stay open to getting a peek at this time, without letting your mind take control of what it sees and experiences.  What lessons would you desire to deliver to, or from, this timeline?  

What if your I AM Self is also experiencing being embodied as a shaman from Siberia 5000 years in the apparent past of our current reality? What if that aspect of you is the guide for your experience in this timeline?   What if the snow tiger that walks with you in Spirit form also walks with the Shaman in his reality?  Consider the magnitude of information available through your I AM Self.

Let's also consider that since each of us is connected to, and a facet of All That Is, our I Am Self can show us a holographic film of the lifetimes of others like Buddha, Mary Magdalene, Jesus or Hitler.  Do you suppose you might feel like you were them?  Wouldn't you have access to their lessons?  Can you see how useful that would be for you in this embodiment?  Let's carry that a step further and consider that your I AM Self could connect to Archangel Michael or any Ascended Master.  As soon as you connect you would understand all their knowledge and wisdom.  That information would be so useful to you in this embodiment.  Isn't this information still yours?  As part of All That IS, it becomes part of us.  Why disown it by citing an external source?

 


Weekly Focus

In each newsletter we will provide a Weekly Focus for our readers.  Our intention is to help you incorporate the new information into your daily life and harmonize gracefully with the shifts in awareness that arise from it.   You may find it helpful to start a journal specifically for documenting these focal areas.  Often messages initially come through without all the details and specifics.  Keeping a journal of your messages, growth, and awareness can prove excellent for pulling all the pieces together in the future.  We both keep daily journals for this purpose and find ourselves referring back to them quite often.


This Week's Assignment

As you go throughout your day this coming week, pay attention to who is in control at every given moment.  Are you listening to Me, My Self or I?  Don't be surprised if you find you listen to Me most of the time.  Your brain is used to being in control of your every action.  The brain believes it knows what is best for you.  It will not want to give up controlling you.  Remember the brain (Me) is limited to its past experiences. 

The My Self is also distorted by past experiences and karma.  The only true place of pure wisdom and power is found in the I Am Self.  A good way to distinguish 'who is guiding you' is by the feeling you get from the guidance.  If you are feeling fearful, doubtful, angry, resistant, resentful, jealous, or any other negative emotion, you are not tuned in to your I Am Self.  When the I Am speaks there is no doubt or fear.  You will feel the perfection and confidence in the answer.  It may challenge you to act on it, but realize the feeling of challenge is once again a mind created reaction.  Practice trusting your I Am Self as you begin listening to it.



Questions & Answers

 

Q:  Where in the bible do your teachings come from? 

 A:   We are not talking about the Bible.  We arenot talking about anyone's religious preference or belief, for those are entirely different from your spirituality.  It doesn't matter what religion you choose to follow or if you even choose a religion.  What is important is that you are wholly connected to your spiritually true self.  How you choose to express your spirituality is up to you.  The bible is an expression of spirituality with many interpretations based on different religious beliefs.  Spirituality is found in the core of our Being.  Religion is a codified set of beliefs that creates a structure that makes many feel safe.  When you can connect to your spiritually true self, your I Am Self, you will find peace and meaning to every moment of your life.  Fear will not control your life.  The spiritual side of you is the real you, where you came from and where you are going.  Once you meet your I Am Self, you gain access to all the power and wisdom of the universe and life naturally flows with joy, love, abundance and fulfillment. This is because you realize all the answers, direction, guidance and power you need is already within you.  Then, religion would only be a choice, not a necessity, for your journey as an embodied Being.
