The โHowโโฆ to change our perception, and eliminate practices and perspectives that limit our growth and ability to Shift quickly and with the least trauma. How to create new, beneficial habits.
No doubt if you are reading this, you are curious about this phenomenon I am calling the Shift in Consciousness, or perhaps you have already begun noticing the changes in yourself, and are looking for answers to questions you have only begun to form.
Nothing is an accident, and if youโre here, you have drawn this information to yourself. So Pepe and I will try to offer some practical advice on what you may be becoming aware of in your own subjective assessments of yourself, things you are experiencing and why, and some simple and not-so-simple things you can do to assist yourself with the changes and lessen the trauma you will feel.
The more we can operate โcleanly,โ the more centered and open we become, the more we will be able to work in conjunction with our Essence to widen our awareness and Shift, with the minimum possible trauma. But donโt be fooled. Changes of this magnitude are always uncomfortable.
In no particular order, here are some things I have picked up over the years that will be helpful. Many of these overlap, and many are related. Donโt worry about getting it all right, right away. There is no right and wrong way to do this. Itโs all about you.
It takes time and practice to sort out, and move past the things we have gathered in our lifetimes up to now. Itโs a matter of recognizing old patterns, and creating new habits. You are re-wiring your brain and creating new code in your software. Approach this playfully, and you will have a much better time of it. With that, letโs jump right in.
You are not a victim!
You may be playing one, but you cannot be a victim without choosing to do so. Victim and perpetrator go hand in hand. They draw themselves to each other. Make different choices, stop being a victim.
If you donโt act like a victim, you wonโt invite perpetrators to victimize you. This is probably the most difficult piece to assimilate. Our world is built on victimhood. We have all learned it well. It will take time to recognize that you are creating it all, and that choices are always yours to make.
Everything is a choice!
Every moment of every day you choose. Your choices dictate your experience. Choose wisely. If you donโt like whatโs happening to you, make different choices. You may not like the choices before you, but you always have them. And you can switch things up any time you want.
Often, new choices do not make themselves known to us until we begin moving in a new direction. Donโt be afraid to entertain inspirations of new types of action. Those often come from our Essence and are meant to offer us previously unconsidered alternatives to what we are currently doing.
What I hear the most from people who feel stuck is that โthey have no choice,โ but to continue doing what is making them unhappy. Changing is uncomfortable. But there is always a choice.
This exercise alone will likely be the source of a considerable amount of discomfort and trauma. No-one said it was going to be easy. But I will be the first to tell you that the Shifting work will be worth it. You may curse me out some day, but donโt say I didnโt warn you.
Free yourself from limiting Constructs. Recognize your Belief Systems.
Constructs are the stories we have been taught and tell ourselves about what is possible and what we are capable of, and how everything works. Constructs are the reasons for. They are the reasons we do what we do.
We have been conditioned since birth and throughout the history of humanity to accept and internalize various limiting belief systems. Some of these belief systems were inherent in the design of our physical reality and our amnesia for that phase of our existence. Some of them were taught and reinforced as means to control us.
Religious and political belief systems and constructs are still forcefully endorsed as guidelines for how we are to think and act. Their power over us is waning, and we can hasten the loosening of their control over us and our actions by recognizing them for what they are, and again, making different choices.
The Shift will assist us by our recognition that we are creating our own version of reality, and not subject to the Collective belief system if we no longer choose to be. People will still be able to have the traditional life experience, but we will operate in different zones of reality that buffer us from each other and those systems of beliefs, allowing us to do and accomplish things previously thought impossible.
Again, this is a place you have been conditioned and indoctrinated. Plus, your own experiences and common sense will seem to bare out the truth and facts of our world and our reality. This makes it particularly tricky to accept things that you donโt yet know experientially.
A great deal of this will be a matter of trust and faith. Those particular attributes are in short supply these days, and you have no reason to believe me. All I can tell you is that the more you do in this direction, the more you will convince yourself, until such a time that you no longer entertain any doubt at all because you will be experiencing the Shift for yourself.
There is assistance in this from all of Consciousness, from your Essence, and from the Shift itself. There will be undeniable truths that will make themselves known to us when we are ready. But if we donโt ease up on what we think we know for sure, and allow for the possibilities, we wonโt see them even if they are right in front of us.
Recognize that you are an infinite, energetic being!
If you think You-Only-Live-Once, you may become afraid that your choices will cause you to miss the only chance we have at satisfaction and happiness. You have very likely had hundreds, if not thousands, of lives on Earth. Relaxโฆ this isnโt your one shot. And you cannot screw it up. We each have overall intentions for exploration and experience. What we donโt get this time, weโll get another time.
But if you are here now, you are here to have this experience in the time of Shifting. Recognizing yourself as Essence is the first step in expressing yourself as Essence. We are all going to be faking it until we make it. Itโs going to be countless fits and starts. We donโt even know what thatโs going to look or feel like. But we can begin by believing it, and making it our intention to be at the forefront of this voluminous turning point of history. The Shift is a seminal event in the history of humanity. We need to go easy on ourselves and just keep plugging forward.
As such, โafterlifeโ is a misnomer. Our Essence is who we are. These lives are the one-off. Focuses of attention - projections of energy. We are powerful beings.
Know that you are creating ALL of your reality!
This physical dimension does not work quite the way it appears to from our current perspective. We have always believed in cause and effect. This seems to be an undeniable fact, and our experience indicates that this is true, and it is apparent.
In reality, everything that exists physically in our world is imagery for processes that we engage and that occur at our subjective level. The illusion that things happen to us is strong. It was meant to be undeniable so that we could have a pure, unadulterated experience of separation and individuality.
In truth, we project and reflect energy back to ourselves using our perception, which we then recognize with our physical senses - and this is how we create our reality. Eventually, when fully shifted, we will learn how to better utilize this mechanism to consciously create whatever we desire.
Instant manifestation is where we are going with this, and it will appear to be no less than magic or sorcery in practice. It is what we have always done. But now, we will be aware of what we are doing as we do it.
Our environment is our creative pallet.
We will learn that the people and circumstances we encounter are all by design. Nothing happens accidentally. There is no such thing as a โchance-encounter.โ Life is a rich tapestry that can lead from one satisfying success and accomplishment to the next, once we learn to utilize the playing pieces.
Our lives are a huge equation, constantly changing, but always solvable for our desired outcome. If we always place our intention on one side of the equation, then we can juggle and rearrange all the variables on the others until we accomplish what we want. This is an art. It requires intuition, patience, trust and wit. We will learn to weave our reality together like master knitters.
That doesnโt mean itโs all stuff we like. Our environment will include people and things that will challenge us to stay centered. That is part of the mastery. Do you like when everything looks like shit, but you come out smelling like a rose in defiance of reason? This is what you will learn to do.
Recognize your body consciousness.
When Essence enjoins a physical focus, a life, it projects energy into a physical manifestation that we know as our body that springs from the physical material of the planet. This is our body consciousness, and it is created with the cooperation of the Earth itself, which itself is consciously aware.
The body consciousness works in tandem with our subjective awareness to facilitate these experiences, which we call our lives. The atoms and molecules that make up our bodies are aware also, and react to the direction of our minds and thoughts.
We, as Essence, project energy through the physical atoms and molecules to create the body consciousness, and together create what we view as our physical existence. Our subjective awareness, our objective awareness, and our body consciousness all work together in tandem, and all at our direction. This is very likely the source of the idea of the Trinity from religious texts. Three seemingly separate parts of โGod,โ but all one.
The source of Dis-ease is held energy.
The body was designed to flow energy, not hold it. Energy is meant to flow through us like the Torus. Holding energy in anger, frustration, shame, sadness, or any other number of emotions causes manifestations of illness in the physical body consciousness. Expressing energy one way or another stops the harmful process of it being held.
As we process more and more Essence energy through our body consciousness in conjunction with the Shift, managing the flow of energy becomes increasingly more important as our bodies adjust to the increased intensity of energy.
Like overclocking a computer processor, higher frequencies generate greater heat, and that heat must be dissipated to insure the continued overall health of the system. Energy must be expressed, or it will burn us up!
Expression is physical in some way. We can talk, yell, pound salt, do whatever we can to not hold energy when we are agitated. We are mostly taught to suck it up. You donโt have to express it at anyone, (best if you donโt), but you can scream into a pillow or punch it - either will do, or any number of ways that help dissipate the energy.
No-one else is to blame for anything in your life.
Blaming others for our circumstances is ludicrous. We create our reality. We choose. We may as well blame the toaster or coffee-maker for all the good it does us. It merely deflects responsibility for our choices to others. It is a weak argument. This is part of victimhood.
Donโt oppose yourself. Donโt do anything you donโt enjoy or want to do.
Nothing done in opposition will ever be successful or satisfying. If you donโt like it, you donโt have to do it. If you donโt want to participate in something, honor yourself and those around you by following your own lead.
Doing something in opposition to yourself, your guidelines, your wishes, is a recipe for disaster. This is one of the first places you can begin to move forward by making a commitment to yourself to acknowledge your importance and well-being by not betraying yourself. You are good. You deserve your own respect. You are not being selfish. You are being you!
I know, I know, this is a hard one. But hear me - nothing good can come of something done in opposition or duress. Doing so will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction and/or resentment.
If you find that your life requires such actions, begin making choices and moving in directions that make yourself primary. It took time to set up a shitty deal for yourself. It will take time to fix it. But begin moving in that direction. Everything builds on itself. Start creating a foundation, and you will find that what was once awkward will become habitual - in a good way!
Be honest with yourself and genuine with others.
The other side of not opposing yourself is honoring yourself. Donโt go along with things you dislike or disagree with. You can graciously decline or remove yourself from circumstances you do not wish to participate with.
No-one owns you, or can direct you, unless you allow them to. The more genuine you are, the more your life will shape up in a way that is complementary to your expression. You owe that to yourself, and you deserve it.
Donโt accommodate or change yourself to appease someone else.
When we assume anything about another person, and then change our own actions to match what we project as an expectation coming our way, we steal the opportunity from the other person to change and grow by making different choices. And we will never get it right anyway. Best to just be ourselves, let circumstances be as they are, and let the chips fall. We are not responsible for them or what happens.
Donโt follow feelings!
Feelings are signals that are generated by the body consciousness as a communication to alert us to what we are doing in the moment. They message us that we have found something to explore further.
They arenโt meant for us to make a career out of them. They are directing us to go inside ourselves and discover what in us has been touched on by something that happens to us or that we experience. Once we discover what the communication is alerting us to, the feeling can be released as it has accomplished its objective.
Feelings that are not acknowledged will get louder and louder until we recognize them. As an example, the checkout clerk is having a bad day and is rude to us in the store. If we believe we do not deserve to be treated well, we may personalize and internalize the rude treatment. We may be rude in return. We may go out to our car, and cry in the parking lot. We may go home and be angry at a family member.
Rather than recognizing the rightness of ourselves and our expression, we may blame ourselves for being treated rudely. In this case, the feeling is alerting us to the idea that we have a poor self-image and/or feel ourselves to be inherently wrong or unlikable.
We hold on to the feeling and follow it, reliving it over and over, and generating the same negative emotion without ever finding the reason for it. We offer ourselves no new information as to why we may have been treated rudely, and simply cycle and recycle the feeling and continue to feel poorly. This leads to held energy and will cause physical illness if not discovered and released as stated earlier.
A healthy perspective in this circumstance would lead us to the simplest explanation - that the clerk was having a bad day, and it had nothing to do with us. If we catch it quickly enough, we may even be able to offer a smile or kindness to the clerk that may help relieve them of whatever is affecting them negatively, which is probably them following a feeling as well. So we could actually even break the cycle from one person to the next.
Anger is always generated from a perceived lack of choices.
If you become angry at someone or something, you believe that there are not different choices for you to make. Since that is never the case, use anger and frustration as an indication that you are not considering other choices, and explore what those might be. Itโs okay to be angry - itโs a natural expression. Itโs a message from you to you.
Our bodies generate our feelings and emotions.
Our clue to a feeling is just that - we feel something being generated in our bodies first, before we ever think about it. Our blood pressure may rise, our heart rate may go up, we may flush our face, our breath quicken. These are clues to tip us off to what is happening to us. We can then listen inside for the message, the communication that the feeling is trying to generate for us. Then we can evaluate and see why that might be happening without having a reaction.
It takes a great deal of practice, but this exercise alone can make a huge difference in our quality of life when we arenโt battered about by feelings day in and day out. Catching them when they are being generated by our body is a great way to stay on top of what is affecting us.
Recognize the difference between reaction and response.
A reaction is a knee-jerk. A response is considered, measured and thoughtful. We react when we are triggered. A reaction generally indicates that there is something inside of us that we need to look at. Something we are generating that leads us to conclude and make assumptions, often unnecessarily, and even more often, in error.
Unexplored and unhealed trauma can cause us to form perspectives that look for reasons to react, even when there is no intent to hurt us. โWaiting for the other shoe to dropโ is one way this manifests. Another is โthere it is!โ We have been waiting for a particular circumstance, and we will perceive and twist circumstances to become evidence of what we are expecting. This can be extremely damaging to our relationships when we donโt recognize that we are doing it.
We can have a reaction, but not react. We can consider our reaction privately and then respond in a way that is measured once weโve discovered what we reacted to that is within us.
Again, no-one can make us feel bad. We do that to ourselves. This takes a great deal of practice and self-examination, but it pays tremendous dividends to our overall health and well-being once we master this.
Even when something is done to provoke a reaction from us, if we are centered in ourselves, we can recognize the ploy and make other choices.
Donโt personalize things - itโs never about you.
It may seem to be about you, but nonetheless, you are a placard, an NPC for someone elseโs experience. Even when it is about you, itโs not. Itโs about the other person, and you donโt owe anyone anything.
That doesnโt mean you canโt act like an asshole, but at the end of the day, you are not responsible for someone elseโs choices or feelings. Just like no-one can make you feel a certain way, you canโt do that to someone else. Itโs always a choice.
Honor your own guidelines, opinions and preferences, but understand they are yours and yours alone.
These are our rules for ourselves in how we live and conduct our own lives. Everyone is different. There is no right and wrong. There are differences between you and everyone else. This is as it should be.
We can learn to coexist, particularly since we will all be able to operate as we see fit, and only participate in things that we choose to. Make your choices for yourself as you see fit, but donโt expect anyone else to share your enthusiasm.
Guidelines have been manipulated for all of history to polarize groups of people. Have your guidelines, but avoid being grouped up by them. Even when you feel strongly about something, remaining neutral holds you above the fray.
Remain neutral - donโt take sides.
The world is a big place with a lot going on. We are buffeted every day with propagandist, sensationalized news. Itโs not to inform you. It is designed to 1) grab your attention, and 2) polarize people. โNewsโ is only news if it generates a reaction (there it is again). If it isnโt highlighting, (or generating) conflict, it wonโt draw attention.
Sure, there are people doing things you do and donโt like. It is natural to support what you like and oppose what you donโt. But guess what? Everyone is doing the best they can. Everyone thinks they are right. Everyone thinks they are doing good.
Yes, there are people who are just selfish jerks, and donโt give a shit about other people, but by and large, somehow, someway they think they are good and doing right as well.
We place people in positions of authority over us, and then get mad when they make the best choice they think they can make based on the information they have. We expect these same people to have answers that no-one has, like theyโre superhuman.
When something happens or is being considered, news generates conflict around it, and the next thing we know, the issue becomes the conflict, not the original issue. We wonder why nothing seems to get accomplished, but we arenโt understanding that we force people into either/or cages all the time, which effectively hamstring their ability to make nuanced decisions.
We see it in our courts, in our politicians and Congress - anytime you hear someone say they โonly want a yes or no answer,โ that is your clue that someone is getting pigeonholed. Very few things are black and white, and that tactic does nothing except keep things the way they are.
By enjoining conflict, we actually inhibit the ability of others to create something we want and like. People want to do good things. Itโs okay to have opinions, but we donโt know everything, and we are easily manipulated. By remaining neutral, we offer a better chance of other people actually being able to accomplish something that serves us. And we encourage others to not be afraid and angry when we express calm in our own interactions.
On a wider scale, this can have a tremendous effect on the Collective Consciousness. We ripple out, and affect things we never even see. We can be responsible with our energy.
You are your own authority!
We have been taught and learned to defer to authority figures, whether they are our parents, teachers, ministers, government, law-enforcement, spouses ad nauseam. We do not know how to make ourselves primary.
This is something we must learn to do. We have been drilled with the idea that making ourselves primary means that we are being selfish or self-centered.
Even today, many โspiritualโ and โrighteousโ figures will tell us that we are meant to live in โservice to others.โ I find this type of direction irritating and misleading. Itโs more of the same kind of disregard of the self in deference to others that we have always been manipulated with.
This is what I tell people: if you become a cohesive, centered and balanced, (shifted) human being, you will automatically be of service to everyone around you and beyond. It doesnโt require grand or ostentatious expressions of charity or goodwill. You will be a walking example of it, and you will naturally benefit everyone you come in contact with. You will โnaturallyโ be in service to others. But it starts with making yourself primary and important.
Authority figures in our lives donโt want us to become empowered. If we are empowered, we become dangerous to the status quo, whether thatโs our household, our nation or our world. Various people and groups have held wealth and power throughout the ages by making themselves authorities to others. We will learn that we are the only authority we ever need. Everyone else can just sit down!
Pay attention to your dreams.
Your dreams are as direct a connection with your subjective awareness than just about anything else. What happens in your dreams can provide important clues that can help you with whatever is going on in your life presently, and offer clues and inspirations for how to move through our current circumstances. Avail yourself of your own subjective imagery.
Get where you need to be.
Where you live and spend your time is a cornerstone of your well-being. Find a place that resonates with you, and then jump in with both feet. Donโt wait until you retire to find your happy place. Thereโs a reason itโs called that. Itโs important that you find it, and then get there, full-times!
Donโt fight circumstances.
There is a flow to life. It is bigger than the 10 feet that surround you. The โYou-niverseโ conspires in our favor. Things are meant to work out for us.
Something that isnโt working is not a failure. Itโs a clue to move in a different direction. Even when you think something has to happen a certain way - when it doesnโt, it means that there is an even better answer.
Trust yourself, trust your environment, trust events and circumstances. They are there to lead you to your best possible outcomes. Even when it doesnโt appear so. Everything happens for a reason. And you can trust it.
Check your relationships.
Any relationship that drains you or leaves you feeling poorly about yourself is unhealthy. We sometimes maintain relationships for all the wrong reasons.
Family is a perfect example of a reason to continue a relationship that may not be in our best interests. We are thrown together with other origin family members for a reason. But it is probably not to learn how to override our own interests.
In the last 10 years, events have conspired to draw attention to differences between us. I hear people bemoan how their old friends or family are no longer compatible with them. A good rule of thumb is to let go of the things that are trying to get away from us, in order to make room for the things that are trying to reach us. There is no loss. We are all interconnected, and that will never change. We will not lose anyone forever.
Drop all expectations of other people.
We are becoming more self-aware. Before that, we werenโt. We were just like all the other people around us - friends and family. To one degree or another, we believed the propaganda, and bought into all the things weโve been indoctrinated with. We judged people who we thought were outside of the status quo.
So now, they didnโt change - we did. Expecting people to change or be different than they are is a foolโs errand. Give it up. Recognize that we are different - we are becoming more self-aware. They may catch up. They may not. But we can do them and ourselves a favor and drop the expectations.
If weโre going to hang with them, we should prepare ourselves that they wonโt be where we are. Just love them. Let them go if you must. But stop beating your head against the wall. Expecting someone else to change to match us is equivalent to needing some elseโs approval. Do we know what we know regardless? Then we need to stop requiring someone elseโs approval.
I would say 90% of our problems are based on expectations we place on other people. We donโt owe them anything, and they donโt owe anything to us. Either we want to be around other people or we donโt. We donโt need to force it. Things change, people change. The past is the past. We will find new people we resonate with. We can stop beating ourselves and others about the head and neck and accept differences. Practice allowance. This is the key.
Practice allowance. Donโt force square pegs in round holes.
If something isnโt working out the way you think it should, there is probably a perfectly legitimate reason for it that we arenโt recognizing.
Sometimes we โcreateโ seemingly unfortunate circumstances to alert us to other choices that may be beneficial to us or someone else. Stop, walk away, take a breath, and then look again. Give things room to breathe and change. Thatโs when the magic happens.
All of a sudden, you realize that the best possible outcome just presented itself to you because you gave it an opportunity to show up, and didnโt oppose it with limiting beliefs about what is possible.
Things are meant to work out for us.
Getting into a flow with our environment is the surest way to create effortlessly what we want. The best way to solve a problem is to stop thinking about it, and allow inspiration and intuition to find us.
The right answer cannot find us when weโre grasping the wrong answer. A great outcome cannot find us when weโre complaining about a lesser outcome we keep focusing on.
A flat tire may be flat now to be fixed so that it doesnโt blow out when weโre on the highway hours from home. Look at everything that happens as a positive development that we commissioned at the highest level, even if we arenโt consciously aware of it. Trust and faith go a long way.
Practice satisfaction and gratitude.
These two things will do more for us than almost everything else combined. They are a signal to everything around us that we want more of what weโre getting. This is an extremely powerful exercise, and we can consistently do it without effort.
Walk in grace.
Grace is an attribute, that, like satisfaction and gratitude, place us at an operating level that cannot be topped. Graciousness is akin to godliness. We are born in grace. We only unlearn it as we go. It takes practice to do it consistently. Make it a priority, and watch the floodgates open for us.
Sometimes we have to figure out what weโre not, to figure out what we are.
Your past is exactly that - past. We only know what we know when we know it. We donโt want to blame ourselves for not knowing something we didnโt know. And sometimes we must try things and become things and inhabit roles in order to see that they are not who or what we are.
Everything we do has effects. Forgiveness is not for other people, itโs for ourselves. But we didnโt do anything wrong. We did the best we could do at the time with what we knew at the time. Cut yourself some major slack.
Sorry, sorrow, apology and forgiveness are a mixed bag.
Donโt spend too much time worrying about other people. The cleaner you get, the more self-aware, the more centered you are, the more naturally you will do whatโs best for you, AND at the same time, do whatโs best for everyone around you.
Everyone has their own Essence to help them. You are not responsible for their choices. You can do your best to make things right with people you feel you have wronged. But itโs a one-shot deal - and thatโs where your responsibility ends. People who are perpetual victims need a perpetual perpetrator. Donโt take on that role for anyone.
Listen to your intuition.
Ideas, inspirations, intuition are all comparable to text messaging with Essence and other energies. We have information sent to us all the time. Learn to recognize it, and utilize it.
Get in the flow.
Flow is what happens when you are moving like a breeze from one satisfactory experience to the next. You know it - you can feel it when itโs happening.
Like a boat accelerating from the stationary position. At first, the engine digs in, and the bow raises out of the water. As you gain speed, the bow begins to level out, the engine wails, and the next thing you know, you are skipping along the surface of the water. Wind, water, power, speed - this is what flow feels like. This is when you are the most powerful. Life will come to you when you are in flow. Certainty, exhilaration, confidence - you are unstoppable. Learn it, find it, be it.
You are never alone.
Your Essence and untold numbers of other energies are with you always.
You may have the experience of being alone or lonely, but in truth, you are held with the highest regard by all of Creation, and there is always help available just a sideways glance away.
We are the brave, the courageous, who set aside our comfortable existence in the bosom of the all-powerful, to forge a new experience for Consciousness. Your contributions will be celebrated forever throughout eternity. We are all Masters.
Regardless of what your seeming status is, you forever hold a place among the stars. You can feel the love and care that surrounds you if you just allow yourself. It is constant and it is forever.
BE FEARLESS!
Honor yourself and your proclivities.
There is a reason you are as you are. You are a unique tone, color and reflection of Consciousness. No two expressions are the same, and were never meant to be. Your existence and expression was commissioned and is celebrated at the highest levels of Consciousness.
There is no better or worse, no right nor wrong, no perfect or flawed. We are a divine expression, and nothing can ever take that away from us. Own it.
And some simple, common-sense steps you can take that will ease your transition:
Help your body remain in health by offering it good air, water and food. Breathe clean air, drink clean water, and eat good, natural, non-processed foods as much as possible. Make a habit of fasting, and make efforts to detox your body. Supplements and apple cider vinegar can help you do this.
Do things that give you satisfaction, fulfillment and happiness. Make yourself primary and treat yourself with love and care. You are the most important thing in your life.
Donโt compromise, acquiesce or defer to anyone or anything else. No-one is better or more important than you.
Donโt โJADEโ - justify, argue, defend or explain yourself. It places you in a poor position, and is unnecessary. Just do what you do, make the choices you make without apology. No-one else gets to keep your score, and you donโt owe anyone anything.
Seek healthy relationships with people who have your best interests, and are genuinely complementary to yourself.
Question everything. Everything is changing, so donโt rely on old, outdated data. Start fresh every time, even if youโve seen or done it 100 times. This time might be different. Especially now in this timeframe of the Shift.
Practice acceptance. Everyone gets to have the experience they want in the way they want. If you want that for yourself, offer the same courtesy to others.
Meditate. Quieting your mind is one of the best things you can do for yourself right now. There is a great deal of background communication occurring at this time between yourself, your Essence, your other focuses, and other non-physical energies. Meditation is a fast and simple way to open yourself to these messages, inspirations and intuitions. You donโt have to become a monk. But set some time for yourself each day to become quiet and listen. You will be shocked whatโs waiting for you.
This is worth being excited about. Being shifted wonโt be utopia, but it will be considerably better than what weโve been doing. Pay attention to every little detail. Theyโre all important right now, and theyโre all clues. Talk to yourself. You are listening.
Paradise is exactly like where you are right now, only much, much better.

Thank you for joining me on this ride! I can buy my own coffee, but if you want to support me and/or find these columns useful, you have my sincere gratitude. I donโt write for money - I write because I canโt not do it. But accepting generous donations and support is good too. It is a symbol of your appreciation for these columns, and I will accept it graciously.
Besides that, what you can do is like this column if you like it, and throw me a comment on anything that comes to mind. Many people read these, but not very many expose themselves here. Thatโs okay too, but itโs nice to hear from people.
Much love to all of you, and see you next time.
Fantastic words my friend, this was something I needed to read right now so much appreciated. Thinking of writing out how my awakening started, wouldnโt mind reading your story if you chose to write about it.
