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.  My intent is to assist others in creating ease, grace, celebration and enjoyment of the process.

Who Heals Who?


 

 
Since releasing the form of our joint Newsletter in November we've been exploring the various forms of branching out that we were each guided towards by our I Am Self.  Our Sacred Service before our merging had been as healers where we held the space for others to heal through hands on energy exchange.  Even though we understood that healing is a personal thing for each individual, we served as a conduit for that to occur.  Healer became our identity for many of our friends and clients.  We have let go of all sorts of attachments and connections that came into being out of other's dependencies on our "apparent" ability to heal them.  Of course we acknowledge our complicity in feeling needed as the two way street of energetic attachments that are part and parcel of our societal addiction to separation consciousness.     
 
I've begun the process of turning the Self Healing Process contained in our previous newsletters into a book.  It'll be the basis for the courses we'll be teaching to couples and ultimately to individuals.  This has brought up an issue we have around the question, Who Heals Who?   It is our understanding that until an individual desires their own healing, there is nothing another or a million others can do for the individual.   To heal, each must embrace all within and give themselves permission to heal.  
 
When we ask others to sending healing to a friend or relative we are violating the free will of the individuals I Am Self or Soul and the Divine Plan for this embodiment of that Soul.  If as healers, we attempt to use our universal life force to lift a disease from another without their Soul's permission, we are taking on a part of that person's lessons from their Divine Plan. 
 
Yes, it is possible for an apparent healing to be affected by email prayer circles.  I question whether the individual truly learned the lesson presented by the dis-ease.  Conscious participation in self-healing is required for that understanding. 

This holds true in the macrocosm of praying for world peace, when the individuals praying have not made peace within their own heart with all within.  Perhaps there is short term peace, but has the consciousness of humanity been altered?

Compassion
 
This brings me to a vital message on compassion which is critical to the ascension process over the next couple of years, and I am searching for the words to convey it so it is heard.   As I've moved through my ascension process over the last few years I aligned with the thought that I was to be the light I came to be and those who were ready to hear it would gravitate towards the energy of that light for the time our paths were in alignment.   In the process of co-writing the newsletters with Jody over the last few months we seen quite a few be triggered by the very direct way I write what is disclosed to us.   I Am that all is in Divine Order, yet I continue to seek to write what is called for from the place of fun and wonderment it occurs to me as.  At the same time I recognize my own attachment to my friends and fellow Light Workers listening with their heart rather than with their mental body.     
 
I learned a valuable lesson in compassion back in the '90s.   My father had been hospitalized 4 times to remove fluids brought on by diabetes and congestive heart failure.  They would drain pints of fluids from his body each time.   On the fifth time he was not expected to live the night, so I rushed 500 miles to see him.   He survived the night after hearing I was on the way.  When I arrived he was complaining about hospital food and did not want to get up and walk as ordered by his Dr.  I made him eat some breakfast and held his arm as we walked the hall of the hospital wing.  When he lay down again, he said, I've lost control of my life. I just wanted to go home, sit in the Sun, watch the squirrels play in the trees, fall asleep and never wake up."  
 
My response was, "You have lost control Dad.  You still have choices.  You can choose to eat this food and to exercise and this would make you strong enough to go home to the squirrels.  Or you can choose to not eat or exercise.   That choice would mean you would die here in the hospital.  Still it's your choice.  Which ever you choose is okay with me, God and I will still love you."  His face relaxed immediately and he smiled for the first time in months.  Over the next 9 weeks, he completed with all of his friends and relatives, was free of pain and died very peacefully in his sleep.  Neither my Mom nor his family ever understood me giving him permission to die. 
 
I got to have a similar conversation with my Mom several hours before she died as she told me her Mom and Dad were there waiting for her.   It gave her much peace as she released all her attachments to fear and pain.
 
It was later in my own journey through and beyond a near death experience, that I understood that being compassionate meant that we were to hold another to their highest good.  I see now that when we do for another, what they could have done for themselves we are creating a codependent caretaking attachment.  There is no compassion in that. 
 
If a client has not learned the Soul's lesson from a disease, it is not compassion for a healer to use their universal life force to cause a temporary healing; rather it is ego driven and an invitation to take the client's lesson into the healer's bodies. 
 
Being the cause for another's accountability seldom looks nice and sweet neither to observers nor to light workers who've not yet embraced all that is within, both the Light and the Dark stuff.  It is the toughest form of unconditional love that only arises through the heart. 
 
There have been several recent opportunities for us to experience being with those who're caught in their own health crisis.  Jody is with her Mom now and has seen first hand how helping her Mom focus on what is and not giving into a poor me expression is empowering her Mom to get well enough to leave the hospital and move into assisted living, rather than fearfully living alone.
 
Even as teachers we are each students of each other.   I am clear that not every article written will resonate with you for where you are on your path.  When Jody & I hear from someone who has been triggered it opens us up more deeply as to who we are as we look within for what in us sourced the other being triggered.  At the same time, they are walking their path as we walk ours.  A recurring thought here is that there are as many paths back to Source as there are Souls.  Each has their own path to walk as we serve as both students and teachers for each other.
 

Questions and Answers

Q.         "  I miss how you use to sign off with the phrase, Gobs of Laughter"

A.         Why do we hold on to the attachments to what was?  As we rise and rise, we discover how much our attachments have acted as an iron anvil weighting us down.  Often this drowns us in our own waste for lifetime after lifetime.

Embracing and releasing brings the lightness for rising and rising, thus completing in the final embodiment


Intentional Compassion



The following is excerpted from Greg Braden's audio tape "Lost Modes of Prayer."  This thought process is at the core of my personal evolution on the subject of compassion.

Greg Braden states that Intentional Compassion is a quality of thought, feeling & emotion that forms a program of reconciliation.
· Consider having thoughts that have no attachment to the outcome of the thought.
· Consider having feelings without distortion of the feeling or having feelings unconditioned by those around us.
· Consider having emotions without charge, simply loving all that we witness without judgment.

Intentional Compassion could be said to form a Science of Compassion where, if this then that flows.

Consider holding the following five inquiries as possible codes of Being:
· Is there a single source of all we experience in our life, in our world?
· If you trust in the process of life, allowing for all being in Divine order?
· If you believe that each and every experience, without exception, is an opportunity to demonstrate mastery in life?
· If you believe your life mirrors your quest to know yourself in all ways?
· If you believe that life essence is eternal then do you believe that your body is eternal?

If we acknowledge, trust and believe these things we become compassion. Then it is impossible to judge anything as wrong or bad, to anger or to rage. It is self-empowering in that if you find one code of being that doesn't work in an event, you've defined your next step on your path to balance and mastery. If all five are reconciled and an event still leaves a knot of emotion, Braden suggests using the Ancient Gift of the Blessing.

The Ancient Gift of the Blessing is a quality of thought, feeling & emotion that allows us to acknowledge the sacred & divine nature of all we witness. The short form of this conversation is:
· Bless the abuser, for they thereby know themselves.
· Bless the abused, for they thereby know themselves.
· Bless the witness, yourself, thereby know All of your Self.

Just because something is sacred does not mean that we either agree or condone as we acknowledge this sacredness. When we give away a part of ourselves to judgment, hate, anger or rage, there is a part of ourselves that is not available to love.

We've come to learn to love in a way only possible on earth, a deeper love than that available to the angels. This is the gift of the blessing. This acknowledgment becomes the lubricant that frees us from the stuck emotion leaving us more empowered to go out in life being compassion.
