Introducing Our New Workshop AT HOME IN HEAVEN: A Journey From Fear to Forgiveness
As some of you may know, I
took a break from teaching this summer while I finished my new book, and in the process, I
received some interesting guidance regarding the next steps in my journey.
Among other things, I enrolled at Marylhurst University to pursue a degree in Divinity, and once I opened up to that level of study, my focus began to shift
in unexpected ways. My guides directed me to revisit A Course in Miracles along with some other
channeled material,
and as
a result, the structure and content of my workshops began to change. With brand new guided
meditations, interactive exercises, automatic writing and channeling
processes, the new workshop is designed to
help us release fear and pain in our daily lives based on a new understanding of
forgiveness as the path to healing and
wisdom.
Based on understanding that we
create our experiences on earth according to the lessons sought by our souls,
the new workshop explores the energies of judgment, fear, projection and
attachment that cause us to experience spiritual pain and the illusion that we
are separate from the Divine.
Using guided visualizations, interactive
exercises, storytelling and ritual, we work on connecting with higher
guidance to assist us in "un-judging" ourselves and others. By releasing the
concept of blame and healing the emotional wounds and fear-based beliefs that we
carry from one lifetime to the next, a new form of forgiveness can emerge in
which there are no victims and no perpetrators... only souls journeying together
on a path to wisdom and awareness.
We've just begun offering this workshop and have introduced it in a few cities. Our intention is to take it on the road this Spring, and we hope you can attend!

DANNY'S MESSAGE"Forgiveness Isn't Optional"
In this message Danny speaks to me about our work
together as teachers
and the relationship between forgiveness and timelessness.
You have often described the love that you and I share
as "otherworldly," but in fact it is not special or unique in any way. It is
simply the love that all beings share with Creation. Love is Creation,
and we are emanations of that love, so we have all the power of creation within
us. Through our experiences on earth we are given endless opportunities to
recognize the Divine Love to which we are connected. You and I
have focused on this lesson together for many lifetimes. This has been our work
as teachers, and isn't it marvelous how many different forms that work has taken
over the centuries? It's as if we've gone to hundreds of different costume
parties together, dressed as different characters (bodies/personalities). All
the people at these parties are members of our soul family, and we go from house
to house, party to party, always wearing a different costume. For example, in
the incarnation I most recently shared with you, I dressed as a seriously ill
child and you dressed as a nurturing mother (along with many other
characteristics and sub plots, of course). In most of our other incarnations we
have worn the costume as brother and sister. But in the greater picture, in the
Heaven view, we are teaching souls, and we've created stories, like
movies, designed to generate the wisdom that enables us to do our work as
teachers. It is a delightful little game, and the soul rejoices in it!
You often wonder why there is no
time lag between asking a question of your guides and receiving the answer. This
is simply because there is no time. Your thoughts -- and the
thoughts of all life forms -- work in tandem with Divine energy like gears inside a
watch. No gear turns independently of another, and so it is with the thought forms
transmitted between Heaven and Earth. The
understanding of Timelessness is a precious gift and a valuable tool for those
on earth who recognize it. It is one of the most important elements in learning
to un-judge, forgive and release attachment. In order to forgive, there must be
an understanding of timelessness. If there is no time -- if there is no time
limit -- then opportunities for healing are endless. Most people think
of time as linear and limited, and they think they must wrap everything up before they
"die." But if they understand that they don't die and that the soul continues to
acquire experience forever, then forgiveness isn't optional. The costume
parties and the characters keep recurring with a continuous thread of energy
seeking to be healed or balanced. You have all the time in the world, literally,
in which to work with these energies.
The parties and the costumes are part of your
permanent record (to use a familiar human phrase). They are your
creations. When you look at them through timelessness, you will see
that they are constantly shifting and restructuring, like the fragments inside a
kaleidoscope, but they never end, because the concept of "ending"
requires a belief in time. Without time, the kaleidoscope just keeps turning for
eternity, and the energy accumulated through all that movement becomes
integrated into the whole of creation (this is the true meaning of Karma; it is
never "good" or "bad," but is simply the evolution of creation, and all
experiences are purposeful and necessary). When this can be realized, it becomes
possible to "un-judge" your experiences, to release yourself and others from blame, and to understand forgiveness in a new way.
