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. 
 

New Earth
Ascension


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 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.

Relationship

Doorways

 


We've encountered reactions from some of our friends, readers and students that we feel need to be addressed for the benefit of all our readers.  They are common reactions, or triggers, that arise from relationships.  These trigger reactions create an opportunity for us to propel forward into a growth spurt, yet some people see these situations as a call to stand still.   The following is an experience we had when faced with the opportunity for a growth spurt.

As many of you know, our newsletters began as a Divine calling to put the guidelines for New Earth Ascension out to those who are waiting and ready.   We experienced this calling as a purge from our Soul.  Often it has felt more like downloads than mere channeling.  Occasionally the new information is so different from what we've been providing as healers and teachers for the last few years, that we find ourselves raising an eyebrow or two from it.  We've come to understand that previous methods for healing and teaching worked perfectly for that phase of ascension.  It was actually a stepping stone, creating the openings needed to take our evolution to the next step of Paradise on Earth.   

When new information first came to us we did not understand why we had to stop hands on healing.  There was a period of time when we resisted the new information, as though it implied our previous work (and Us) were somehow 'wrong' in the past.  We took offense and spent time trying to talk our Selves out of accepting it, saying we were fine doing what we've always done so well.   Fortunately we were aware that this information was coming from our Higher Selves.  We knew it was right, and that it was our ego that became defensive and resisted moving forward.  Time and again we would have to remind ourselves and each other to stay open to receiving everything just as it was coming in.  Often our ego mind wanted to change the information slightly so we had to work on turning off all ego attachments. 

Next we battled with speaking this truth, knowing the resistance we experienced would occur for others as well.  For those of you who have been reading every newsletter it is apparent we are not writing to make friends or pass along wonderful words of simply and magically finding ourselves in New Earth one day.  Even though that message was still being sent out by many well received channels, most of whom we were following at the time, we had a completely different message.  This was difficult for us. It would have been much easier fitting in with what everyone else was saying.  For us the 'trigger' occurred when we first connected and began hearing our calling as Messengers for New Earth.  Something new was being birthed between us.  That was the moment for us to either step forward into the growth spurt or stand still.  We chose to step forward, even though it was definitely the more difficult choice, challenging us, our power, and all our relationships to others.

Last week we explained how people in our lives can act as 'triggers' to our healing and awareness, yet we had not realized that in our path we would often be seen as more of a trigger than a Spiritual Teacher or Life Coach.   Recently this happened with a social network friend.  We responded to this individuals request for guidance.  The individual took offense and got upset with what we said even though it was what their soul called us to say.  They chose to stand still instead of moving forward in this opportunity, claiming "they were exactly where they should be". This left both of us asking, "How can we teach these Truths if others are acting defensively?"  We also wondered "What's the point in doing this work if it is making others upset"?   After all, a large part of our teachings is about embracing and owning the healer and teacher within and knowing we are perfect exactly as we are.  This is what set us into understanding the lesson this person 'triggered' for us.

We began to see that many people use the phrases "I am fine where I am" or "I am exactly where I'm supposed to be" as a distraction from embracing the self growth work that is coming up for them.   Being "where we need to be" often means being on the threshold of moving forward and coming into new awareness of our Self.  If you have questions or triggers occurring, your Soul is creating an open door for you to step through.  Your Soul feels you are ready to move forward.  Of course you can always decline by denying the problem, ignoring the situation or claiming "I am perfect right where I am". 

Our teachings are about Self Healing through awareness and individual clearing of anything that stands in the way of ascension.  This means being in integrity with your Self, even if those you are in relationship with don't completely resonate with you.  This doesn't mean you must end every relationship that challenges you, just those that keep you out of integrity with yourself.  Sometimes the biggest challenges are simply wonderful triggers for growth and awareness.  Most of our articles are inspired by triggers in our relationships to others.  The trigger sparks us into exploring why or how come?

When you listen to Self and trust Self you confidently and naturally speak your truth.  Most people are not used to hearing someone with absolute confidence so they doubt their words.  They often think of these people as bossy or arrogant.  As you come into your Self and gain the confidence to speak your truth, do not take the disbelieving comments of others personally or begin to doubt yourself if they respond to you in this way.  You are triggering them into a new awareness of Self and that can be an uncomfortable spot for them.  As Lightworkers we have been trained to keep everything 'in the Light' and 'in a place of sweetness and Love'.   There are times when love requires us to confront Truth and Truth sometimes dwells in the dark corners of our Being.  Do we avoid going there with our friends, or do we act as a true Lightworker by creating an opportunity for their self growth and awareness?  It seems easier to not stir things up but how much growth occurs when we just stand still?  How can we stay in integrity with our Self if we stop listening to the call to assist another?  We can't ignore our Truths and expect them to continue flowing to us.

When you are feeling confident in your connection with your Higher Self, speak your truth and then encounter your words as a trigger to someone else, there is something for both of you to learn.  Use these relationship experiences as an opportunity to understand more of what is within you.  Let go of what occurs for them, even if it makes them draw away from you.  Our only responsibility is to our Self.  Pay attention to times when you are presented an opportunity to step across the threshold and through a new doorway of your life.  In healthy relationships each person must be free to speak their truth without fear of losing the relationship entirely if they disagree.  This is unconditional love and it is the greatest gift we can give to and receive from another. 

Blessed IS,
