Faith on Four Wheels

Written by Kathy on April 8, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Faith – the ability to believe in something unseen or unprovable.

Or is it?
Faith is often given a spiritual spin, sometimes to the extent of connection to a specific religion.
And yet faith is more than acceptance of doctrine or an inherent promise of ‘reward’
when our personal truth matches what someone else wants us to believe.

Faith can be the simple acceptance that there is more to life than we can see.
And then we get into the whole perception of reality discussion – and might do well to remember that personal reality can only be viewed through our unique and individual filters. Could faith somehow be the attitude which allows us to accept what we cannot see and ‘act as though’ there is indeed ‘more’ than what we hear, feel and think? Could faith assist us in accepting that ‘EWOP’ – everything is working out perfectly?

Faith is often defined in a manner which seemingly goes hand in hand with trust, while opening doors to possibilities that everyday ‘common sense’ passes by. Could we say then that Faith is Trust without concrete proof to support it?

“Scientists were rated as great heretics by the church, but they were truly religious men
because of their faith in the orderliness of the universe. ” Albert Einstein

I created Voice of Choices in 2001 to share a written ‘taste’ of the myriad possibilities life presents us. Over the years I’ve held my own faith that those who seek what it offers will find it and with the wonders of technology we have thousands of readers each month…. all over the world.

The original mission statement can still be found at www.VoiceOfChoices.com and it amazes me that, although I had no idea how VoC could reach EVERYONE seeking what it shares – it does.

Faith – I sometimes struggle a bit to describe mine. “An eclectic combination of concepts derived from the wisdom of many spiritual paths and world religions” – yes I guess that is close. But more than anything a belief in something of which I AM a part. An incredible energetic tapestry weaving intention and action into a reality that honors and serves the highest and greatest good…. and not just for me.

Faith gives me the courage to accept that which I don’t understand – thank you Mom for introducing me to the Serenity Prayer – and continue taking life a step at a time…… even when the present moment is a gift I don’t believe I would ever consciously choose.

Faith allows me to be grateful and assists me in becoming more graceful as I expand my ability to honor myself as a multi-emotional multi-faceted multi-dimensional human being. While holding that same gratitude and grace filled intention for others.

I replaced my broken TV a couple of months ago. I do not subscribe to cable or have the option to watch many of the current television shows and news reports. My HDTV tuner in my little tv is enough for me. Many programs and specials are focusing on the problems and challenges of today’s world – I find it most helpful to bypass taking on all the woes of the world.

Having been accused more than once of hiding my head in the sand regarding current events, I still refuse to empower negativity by diverting my creative energy with other people’s perception. I find my faith dissolves most quickly when I must defend or protect it – especially with mental, visual and audio messages that energetically compromise my balance. I have seen what is possible in some of the most impossible situations. Incredible blessings have emerged as I continue to take life a step at a time.

A few days ago I set the intention and put out the energy to sell the car I’ve had for almost 6 years. To finance necessary work on my ‘new’ car a sale needed to happen quickly. I typed the words ‘and now to find a home for the Honda’ – sending the message ‘I AM ready’ on the Voice of Choices Magazine Facebook page.

Closing that internet window, I went directly to Craig’s List, clicked on ‘place an ad’ and attempted to open the folder on my computer that contained the word document describing the car. At the bottom of the screen the logo for ‘Word’ flashed off and on, kind of winking at me as it refused to open the file. Nothing I clicked on to open it worked. In fact, my entire computer locked up and I had to do that darn ‘control alt delete’ until the error messages telling me the program was not responding finally disappeared and the screen went black.

Rather than argue with my electronics (I know they are always serving my highest and greatest good I decided to take a break and go outside.
As I stood by the car I wanted to sell my neighbor two doors down was jumping the battery in one of her vehicles …. another neighbor’s car had broken down that morning and …. well do you see where this is going?

To make a long story short – there was no need to advertise. The car’s new owner appeared literally within minutes of my being ready to let it go – right outside my front door and with absolutely no effort.

Faith, to me, is more than a belief in a Supernatural Power – it is linking with and acknowledging our part in The ‘All That Is’ – by whatever name you choose.

Faith – Yes –

“Faith can move mountains, but don’t be surprised if ‘God’ hands you a shovel”…..Anonymous

You have completed a chapter of your life and now a new and even better part is beginning. Your Angels and Guides are showing you how the important and valuable lessons of the past are now a wisdom that are beginning a new journey with you as you meet new people and are presented with new situations and opportunities. this transition is noticeable as you let go of unhealthy old patterns and take the time to heal any past wounds. You are launching on a new journey where inner and outer travel is ahead as you launch yourself forward and explore the world around you. Keep a clear vision but also prepare for the unexpected as this Journey holds immense joy in each moment as the destination.

Take a few moments to enter into the silent and deep place within you. Let everything just go and focus on what is truly important. Imagine spiraling down into your core and source of your essence
breathe and allow your body to relax in the present moment of now (As the Angels know this new beginning is causing you a bit of anxiety over the issues of the unknown that lie ahead)
It is important to for you to retreat to your inner sanctuary in those moments for no matter what is happening around you.
You can observe it all from a place of stillness. As you have all the time you need and you don’t need to be caught up in the drama that others may be participating in. For your power dear one is born in Stillness.

Angelic Message through Elizabeth Spencer

The Angels want to help you see the blessing in the midst of the apparent challenge. What appears to have been lost, has needed to fall away, and will be replaced with something better. Have no fear for the future, and continue praying and following the guidance that comes to you through your repetitive feelings, visions, words and thoughts. The “HOW” to the answer of how your prayers are answered is up to the Divine Creator, release the need to control and predict how the outcome of this present situation is going to go, and just Trust!

You can however embrace your Creative power and embrace it… as you don’t need to fall into the trap of feeling as a victim of circumstance, as if you have no choice. You always have choice.. and you can always actively direct your creative power everyday towards satisfying goals. As you support this process by deciding the outcome of your intentions, (for example rather than hope or pray you get the new job, relationships etc, Decide you will have one.. and that it will be delightfully satisfying).
Plan for the future based on your decisions, rather than dreading it based on your fears. Visualize how your goals will manifest, expect Good and Wonderful things to come, and know that they are on their way.

Put your INTENTION out there…towards what you want… and expect it. “HOW” it comes to be delivered is up to the Divine, but your Intention and Vision is up to you.

It is important to keep your Inner Spirit Shining brightly, to keep yourself uplifted.

Intentionally surround yourself with that which delight your Spirit.
Fill it with Sounds, Scents, Textures, Flavors and friends that amuse you.
Step away from that which you feel is dragging you down… and step out of the daily routine and responsibilities for 30 min, 1 hr or however long you can.
Do something spontaneous and Fun.
It can be as simple as going shopping (trying on hats or sunglasses) or having a picnic on your living room floor.
Whatever it is, just break from the routine, and get yourself on the most direct path to lighten up, have fun, be silly and refuel yourself.

As presently you may be at risk of overreacting and making poor decisions based on the mind running wildly with confusion or stress. You could possibly feel defensive, angry, or you have been feeling that need to be overly pleasing to others. No matter how the fear is manifesting it is time for you to stop and take time for yourself by doing the above. As in spite appearances, you are causing your greatest troubles and no one else. Whether it is projecting, reacting, overcompensating or defending, nothing that your mind is racing over is serving your highest good. The Ego wants to be in control, and gets your mind racing over things so much that little voice inside cries out for help. So turn the command over to some higher forces.. Take a Deep Breath, a few moments to yourself, and just stop what you are doing. You can’t force the door of life to open for you, step back and see that the door of Life opens within you. Doing nothing for a moment, doesn’t mean you are doing nothing. For the moment you step back, you allow the universe to right any imbalances as soon as you stop creating and making waves.

The Angels ask that you release the heaviness, and allow them to lighten your load.
Forgive yourself and release any regrets and to honor that child within you and everyone.
It is important to release the toxic thoughts, feelings that only draw in more negativity.
Also remember that you are a Divine Child of the Creator and that you are doing the best that you can, and so is everyone else..

No matter how it may visually be perceived there is a veil of illusion that isn’t allowing you to see past, and to the underlying truth and perfection that You are, and Everyone is at the Divine core Love and Beautiful, and that the Angels were sent to you to guide and protect you to ensure that everything will be alright. As you don’t need to struggle, to worry about how to make good money or get a meaningful career, or concern yourself with quitting your job or profession etc… Just follow the path of your natural desires, talents and passions with the full intention of bringing JOY to yourself and to others. Life doesn’t need to have everything pin pointed in every detail.. as Life is a process, to be focused upon one moment at a time, one lesson at a time, and what you are doing right now at this very moment is part of your Purpose in your journey.

You are supported and protected as you walk your path. Your Guides and Angels are supporting, protecting and guiding you.
The question they want you to focus on is “What does your Heart Desire?”. As this is an important time in your life, and it is time to make decisions about what you want.
No one- not even the Creator, and the Angels can make these choices for you. It is time you sit with yourself and consider your Hearts Desires, as there are many options available to you.

The Greatest news is that once you have clearly pinpointed your deepest desires and know that you deserve them, all the doors in that direction will open with grace and ease for you. As you dance in the partnership with your intuition, listening to your inner voice, and taking the action upon that guidance.

Although the path requires some work on your part, it will be smooth and peaceful. As YOU like everyone, deserve to be HAPPY!! The Creator wants this for all of his children. Your happiness uplifts and sends out healing energy wherever you go. Pay attention to your inner-child as it requires your Love, affection and attention.

With Much Love, and Light and Abundant Joy and Happiness to be yours, Lizabeth xxx

Hello and Greetings…. How truly and wonderfully divine that you have come as I feel we are all guided to exactly where we need to be and those that we are destined to connect with. We are here to help others find the Hope within their spirit. Allowing all to find the love and Happiness in themselves. I have felt spiritually connected and guided to share guidance with others, and do so on a regular basis. I offer Guidance readings as well presently through the link attached for Angelic Spirit Messages.

by Elizabeth Spencer

Open your heart to receive.. LOVE Is on its way!!! As you are more cherished than you could possibly know. There isn’t anything you need to do to deserve this love, as who YOU ARE is enough. Just let it flow to you. In all your essence.. You are LOVE..

You are a sacred vessel for Love to flow through and the Gates of Triumph are waiting to open wide and deep for you.. The more you feel it, the more Love and victorious experiences expand in your life. So Keep going and believe. If you get knocked over, just remember get up.. brush yourself off and discover what you have learned.. You aren’t a failure at life’s lessons unless you fall down and stay there. So celebrate even the smallest of victories and know that the reasons to celebrate is filling your life in ways beyond even your greatest expectations.

So it is time to Let go and remember that all is flowing perfectly and with Divine timing and is al falling into place.. Not only because you believe but because you aren’t resisting the flow. And trying to push things to move faster.. It is best to just sit back and enjoy the ride, and be thankful for the opportunities, challenges (as they hold blessings in disguise), and embrace the moment you are in right now. Breath in what is right before you and enjoy all the little things. For when you aren’t trying to control the situations and destinations in your life, you are moving into the flow through gratitude and appreciation.

The Angels want to bring to your attention as experiences and emotions from one of your previous lifetimes, is influencing the situation you are inquiring over. You have well-earned wisdom form your past life, and allow it to guide you in your present situation y trusting your gut feeling and hunches. Those intuitive impulses result from the knowledge you gained from an earlier life. Trust it.. As People from your past lives are making themselves known to you in this life time.. they include a soul mate, and family members all in which you share karmic ties with. In the past these relationships may have been painful. Now are your opportunities to balance that karma and break the reincarnation cycle if you choose. (Call upon Archangel Raziel to help you understand, assimilate and heal past life memories, by saying “ Archangel Raziel,

I call upon you now, Please help me to understand (Describe your current question or situation) By guiding and healing me through my past life experiences and relationships. I ask that you help me balance all karma with everyone involved in this situation, in all directions of time Please help me to uncover, heal and release any old buried pain… Now and forever . Thank You!”.

* Your body may shudder as you say this indicating that you’re successfully releasing old, pent-up pain.
If you have memory snippets of past lifetimes please write them down for further exploration with a past life therapist or by working through it with your Angels in a Mediation. *

Accept that within you is a place of Divine strength and inner ability, as the Angels are letting you know that you are ready to stand in your own power. If you are holding on to limited beliefs it is time to now let go of those limitations, and release any fear you have of misusing your power. As your power is a gift to you from the Divine Creator, that has always dwelled within you. It was born of Sacred Love, wisdom and Grace.. and this gift , has the ability to heal others and bring radiant light into the darkness.

Your Twin Flame in also intricately involved with this answer.. As it is your romantic partner who originated from your Spiritual soul Group, and is the One in terms of Soul-mate relationships.. Often Twin Flames incarnate together their last Lifetime on Earth- after the Reincarnation cycle has been completed and karma has been balanced. Until that life time.. They usually don’t incarnate.. instead they function as one another’s Spirit Guides. Your Twin flame could be guiding you from the other side, and helping you with every area of your life now, including romance with a Soul Mate. If you are in your final incarnation cycle and have met your Twin Flame Know that you recognize them instantaneously , and there is not doubt in your mind nor heart when you are face to face. ? Many during this life time are Divinely called upon to help others on a Grand scale.

To those that have been labelled ‘indigo, star, crystal children” As there are a great many across the world often misunderstood or diagnosed with ADHD, ODD, Autistic spectrum , and other countless things because of their lightning fast thinking, , intuitive sensitivities on Multiple levels. You may have had children of your own that were labelled with one or more of these, or know of a family member or a friend with them. These are special Children of the world, and all each have a unique level as to how sensitive they truly are, some may be slightly, others more extremely. They are often strong willed, and spirited, may have tempers But your Gifts are present to help them keep their Spiritual Gifts and missions alive. To help them see the Beauty of how Unique and Brilliant they are.. so their self-esteem remains high.

You are now asked to take a few moments and call upon Archangel Metatron. And you can ask him questions directly related to a child you know, or related to children in general. Ask for guidance and the divine assignment in how you can help the Children of these Generations. (You may even discover that you are one of these children.). You do actually have a high sensitivity and compassion. Due to this you can often absorb lower energies Some from your interactions with others, and some is from within your own past that needs to be released.

Right now as you go to talk with Archangel Metatron about the above message. Also ask for an Angelic cleansing to help clear.. then also Ask Archangel Michael to help shield you from attracting and absorbing any further energies that are harsh or toxic. So Now lay down on your side or stomach for the clearing.. and the discussion with your Angels.. If you cannot lay down like this.. then where you are sitting right now will work, just lift your back off the chair. And then have your conversation with the Angels. ?

As you are being guided along your path of your Life’s purpose. Your Twin Flame, your Soul mate relationships, and these children are all links to your purpose. The Angels would like you to create something for your own personal inspiration if you haven’t already done so..(if you have.. hurray!!! And maybe it is time to add a few things to it.)
They ask that you create a Vision Board ( a Collage of cut-outs from magazines, phrases and things that reflect your dreams and desires. On this board.. (boarder it with Yellow and/or glitter to signify Light entering your board..) then paste it all away.. at the centre of your vision board put a picture of yourself at a moment you felt Happy, inspired, and Joyful”. Then paste the items for your boards all over it.) Then place this vision board somewhere where you can see it daily, when you first wake up, and definitely before you go to sleep.

With Much Love, Light and Blessings ? xxx Lizabeth

Make Your Holidays Magical

Written by Kathy on November 20, 2011 · Leave a Comment

By Dr. Kacie Crisp

Have you been hearing year after year about how magical and special the holiday season is supposed to be? How well have you managed to make YOUR holidays measure up to that ideal?

What if it were easier than you imagined to turn this season and its unavoidable stresses into something really magical?
A great place to start is with taking a look at what real magic is. Dr. Dain Heer of Access Consciousness has quite a different definition from those you may have heard: “Magic is when what you would like to have in your life actually shows up and you are willing to have it.”
How do you move from the hamster wheel of trying to make your holiday season have the magic it’s supposed to have to having a life of “those moments when everything fell into place with such ease that it’s like living as magic?”
Dr. Heer has a number of tools that can assist you with this.

The first step in getting off the hamster wheel is to recognize that you’re much more psychic than you know!
What does he mean? Have you had one psychic experience of any kind in your life? If your answer is yes, then you ARE psychic whether you’ve been recognizing it in your daily life or not, says Access Consciousness founder Gary Douglas.

One way that that psychic ability has been showing up without your knowing it is in your picking up the thoughts, feelings, and emotions of everyone around you. At least 99.999% of your thoughts, feelings and emotions are not yours, says Douglas. In a year of such major economic and other challenges as this one, there’s an excellent chance those thoughts feelings and emotions you’re picking up this holiday season are not exactly light and airy bundles of joy. It’s quite a bit more likely they’re financial stress, worry about whether people will like the presents they’re buying even though they can’t afford them, decades-old worry about how to please difficult relatives and in-laws for whom nothing you can do is ever right. Sound familiar?

Although this season is supposed to be the most joyful, magical, celebratory season of the year, is that what really occurs for many or most people? Or does that expectation create huge stresses which most people have to measure up to, twisting themselves into pretzels so their lives appear like the romantic life they see in the movies when they’re really living in a sea of judgment, disappointment, sadness, and frustration?
You have been functioning like a psychic sponge bob, picking up the psychic debris of everyone around you. Since no one ever taught you how to differentiate between what you perceive from others and what’s yours, you have most likely been buying all of it as yours for your whole life.
Fortunately, there is a different way to look at things, and some easy tools you can use to step out of this hamster race. The first step is to recognize there is a huge difference between perceiving feelings and actually having them. When you walk into a room where people have been having a vehement argument, for example, you can easily sense that something uncomfortable has just occurred, even if you didn’t overhear a single word and everyone involved has since left the room.

We create much confusion for ourselves when we perceive that energy and emotion, but we say, “I feel ….” Sometimes that “feeling” is a bodily sensation like nauseousness, a lump in the throat, a knot in the stomach. Our mistake is that we do not differentiate between what we perceive and what is actually ours. Every time we say, “I feel yucky” in an experience like that described above, our body hears, “feel yucky” as a command and it does its best to comply. Voila! You feel yucky even if the argument occurred between people you never met before you even came into the room.
A practical tool you could use is to be aware now of the difference between feeling and perceiving, and to use the word that really fits what is occurring. Much more often than not, that will be perceiving rather than feeling. Instead of saying, “I feel yucky,” ask a question like, “What’s the awareness I am having here?” or “What am I really perceiving?”

What else is possible? One very easy method you could try is to ask yet another question, “Who does that belong to?” If the feeling or emotion isn’t yours, you have essentially been buying a lie to believe it is. Asking the question shifts that lie towards truth, which immediately makes everything feel lighter. Whenever you ask, “Who does it belong to?” and the feeling immediately gets lighter, whatever you’ve been feeling isn’t yours. Ask it to return to sender. Fortunately, you do NOT have to know who the sender is in order for this to work—though you may. In either case, just send it home to its mother, and get on with your life, free of that psychic debris.
These two tools, being aware of the difference between perceiving and feeling and being aware that the vast majority of what you’ve believed you felt all your life wasn’t even yours, can go a long way to clearing up major sources of misery during the holidays (not to mention the other 11 months of the year)!

Once you’ve cleared away a lot of the junk that’s been gunking up your holiday experiences, how about stepping into the magic? According to Douglas and Heer, magic is really about being willing to receive. As an infinite being, you should have the ability to receive infinitely—which allows for lots of magic to show up in your life.

One of the reasons people think they don’t have magic in their lives is that they tend to discount it when it happens. They ask for something, it shows up “just like magic,” and then they say, “It was coincidence,” or “It was serendipity.” When you do that, you are denying the magic that you are and that you create—and you make it that much harder for the universe to show you the magic that you are next time.
You can easily get in touch with this magical ability that you have by making a list of all the times in your life when you’ve asked for something and it showed up. Then acknowledge that every single item on your list is something you created. Acknowledge what a cool magician you already are, and ask what else is possible?

Douglas and Heer have a set of guidelines they recommend following to create magic in your life. Get the feeling of what it would like to have what you’re looking for first. Then lightly state your desire. Ask for the universe’s help in sending it to you. Don’t be vested in the outcome.
What does “lightly” stating your desire mean? It goes hand in hand with not being vested in the outcome. You ask for what you would like, and then you release it to the universe. It can take the universe a little time to get things arranged for you. So be a little patient and be willing to live as the question. It doesn’t work when you’re vested in what it looks like, or when it occurs by, or how it has to look exactly. All of these expectations and demands will cancel the magic. Conclusions, like “It didn’t work!” when things didn’t happen exactly when and how you demanded them, also cancel the magic.

What magic can you create this holiday season?

Part of the magic could be asking the question

and finding out what shows up!

Manifesting in a New World

Written by Kathy on October 12, 2011 · Leave a Comment

by Aluna Joy Yaxk’in

For decades, we have been waking up in stages . . . installments or waves of energy that jar us from our sleep. We remember when we reached “ah-ha” pivotal moments where life changed, never to return to its prior form. We grow through many of these moments. We have also noticed that these installments, or waves, are coming quicker in an increasing rate of speed.

From the time we were born, we have worked to wake up. It was an era of self-realization, and an accumulation of an entire age filled with many past lives. We became aware of universal truths and mass global illusions in the collective. We began to understand who we really are; not only as human beings, but as a divine soul and spirit.

By the mid-1980’s, we were slam dunked into accelerated energy, making it possible to learn at a hyper rate of speed. People who were born in the 80’s or later have a shortage of life’s emotional lessons and historical time lines. This has created a challenge to find home in this rapidly shifting world. Thus the awareness of Indigo Children came into our awareness. Many “indigos” that were born much earlier, in the 40’s – 70’s, had a longer time line in which to prepare and learn, but they were not recognized as “indigos” as the world was not awake enough to recognize them.

From 2008 to the present time, we have been discovering that we are experiencing an increasing loss of interest in the material world and an increased desire for like-minded community. We began to feel a building pressure to create something new, but we do not know what that is. The world is beginning to feel like a “been there and done that” realm. At times, we feel our lives are like the movie “Ground Hog Day”. The core that has remained important to us is our community of like-minded family. Deep connections with soul family is the only thing that holds our interest anymore. We are questioning everything that we have been taught and experienced. Reality is changing right before our eyes.

We are also feeling a great need for freedom. We want to be set free . . . unfettered by physical, mental, or emotional restrictions of any kind. This has created a great migration to un-known destinations . . . physically, emotionally and spiritually. We have had the courage to cut the cords from what we have known without knowing where we are landing next. This is a mass re-calibration. We have learned to trust our heart over our noisy controlling mind. We are choosing love over fear. Step by step, with each choice we make from love, we transform the mis-qualified energy of the collective un-consciousness. It begins to starve until it is gone.

By equinox of March 2011, things really began to heat up as we began to moving into divine neutrality and into a profound state of witnessing. We choose to stay in this world in service, but we not of the world anymore. This is leaving us a bit confused. We don’t know what to do next, since we are nearly completely detached from all things that have anchored us here. Because of this disentanglement, we embark on a divine search. We want to find a place to anchor ourselves as it is in our core nature to do so. We can feel something is looming out in the near future for us, but we can’t see it, understand it or figure it out. But it is clear . . . deep inside our core, we are beginning to feel a new world birthing. As we passed through the June Solstice and eclipse gauntlet of 2011, things took yet another HUGE leap into the energy of this new world. There is no turning back now. The new destination will arrive.

At this point in time, this divine neutrality acts as a way to keep us floating above a shifting world for a short transitional time. We are like jet liners without a landing strip. We are in a holding pattern. Once the world has arrived safety beyond the shifting point, we will be able to implement the options that we have envisioned. The new world will begin to manifest quickly, and it will BE what we make of it.

In the meantime, fueled with our impatience, we continue to dig into our hearts and ask “What do we want?”, because we are used to manifesting in a particular way. Ground Hog Day is becoming a tired old re-run, and we are getting weary of the holding pattern. So we try to push to break through the blocks we feel. Could this frustrating Ground Hog Day feeling mean we are beginning to live within the first stages of a new world? Could this mean that the laws of nature that regulate manifesting have shifted into a new dimension?

P.S. A reminder . . . The Star Elder have said for years that all the rules of nature that binds our dimension together would change at the shift of the ages. They also have shared over and over that it will not be what we think it will be, and the new world will come with great surprises.

The way we have discerned truth is by feeling our centers. But this center has already shifted to the new future. Because of this, we are finding it hard to be as clear as we used to be . . . at least for now. It is making us feel a bit commitment phobic and unsure in nearly all areas of our lives. We find it hard to commit to even the little decisions in life without that nagging feeling that something isn’t right. The old, familiar, heart clarity that we search for is not there anymore. It appears that our center has moved elsewhere. Just as the world is shifting underneath our feet, our hearts have shifted as well. Our hearts, our core, our home base, our orientation point, etc… has moved to a deeper and more pure, evolved level. This level is not about the individual self, but one based in the entire collective . . . the ONE. A new heart is being upgraded for every living thing. We feel this is one aspect of the new laws of nature for the new world.

We are in a profound and hefty preparation mode. We are moving from manifesting in linear time to manifesting in spherical time. This affects the way we live and the way we create. We are learning to create spherically, from multiple directions, within a new heart center. It is a lot to learn.

Learning to manifest in spherical time is creating a temporary issue. There are many varied possibilities open to us for manifesting right now. We have a lot of irons in the fire so to speak. Every option appears to holds equal weight. So we try to figure out what to choose by looking at each idea or option as an individual option. Each individual option that we consider does not necessary feel wrong, but it does not feel right either, and we don’t know why. So we go to the next option, do the same process and discover the same result. It is only when we step back and look at the bigger picture, and see ALL the options together as a unified unit, that our heart says “YES! That is it! Let’s do it!” Quickly after this revelation, we are faced with the issue that all these opportunities are quite different and seem physically impossible to create as a unit, as they appear to go in many different directions. This is the beginning stage of us manifesting spherically and multi-dimensionally. This takes multitasking to an entirely new and higher frequency. This is a cue for us that creating / manifesting multi-dimensionally will be possible very soon. Now we just have to learn to discover our new heart center in the new world.

We are being synchronized with a new, divine timing these days. We are already beginning to feel what manifesting in this new world might be like. Manifesting is going to be much quicker than we can think. We will create solely with intuition . . . a.k.a. our hearts. The rapid pace will feel like a quantum leap in conscious creation. There are clues to this divine timing synchronization. We are already feeling ourselves flip-flop between things we consider manifesting in our lives. We have a moment of clarity about what we what to do, and in the next moment, that desire is gone. It is not that the clarity was wrong in the first place. It is that we just took too long to act on it, and the universe simply moved on to the next option. This new creation mode is moving faster than we can create at this time; thus the need for the divine timing synchronization. When we link up to our new heart center, we will find that manifesting will take off in original and multi-dimensional ways, and we will keep pace with the universe.

We will not know what is ahead of us. Nor will we know the day or hour of the completion of this transformation and the shift of ages. No prophet, channel, mystic or intellectual knows the answer to this one. As Jeshua shares “Keep your lamps lit.” In other words, stay open to all possibilities. Stay ready to leap when all the possibilities converge into your new heart center, and the door opens for you to finally land that jet liner. We are in the same boat now . . . just as we should be . . . as we to leap unified as ONE.

Magical Living – Common Sense

Written by Kathy on August 1, 2011 · Leave a Comment

By Melanie Marquis

As the alternative spirituality movement continues to grow, we more often hear the word “magic” come out of the mouths of everyday people. Most likely, we’ve encountered at least one Wiccan or other Neo-Pagan who casts spells and charms in hopes of overcoming obstacles and manifesting success. But does so-called magic work? Have you ever wondered? Why not give it a try and find out? Magical thinking has its benefits. Even if you’re not prepared to go all-out and start casting spells, learning to think like a witch will help bring your dreams into reality. The basics of magical thinking are easy to master, and once you do, you’ll be able to manifest success through both mystical and mundane actions. Magical thinking is empowered thinking, and we can all use a little more of that in our lives! Let’s get started.

Four Essentials of Magical Thinking

Empowerment: Empowerment means being capable, and believing yourself to be capable. As a spiritual being, as a living, loving human, you have an inherent ability to transform reality through your consciousness, will, and intent. All you have to do is believe in yourself; trust in your power, and it will grow ten-fold. When we think like a winner, we think magically. See yourself in the best possible light, and strive to become even more. Have faith in your abilities, and test them! Try a simple bit of magic and see what happens. You never know what you can do until you try, right? Draw a picture to represent one of your goals, and while visualizing its successful completion, write the words, “It will be,” at the top of the paper. Carry it with you for a few weeks and see the results. You’re pretty powerful, huh?
Imagination: Imagination is more than just dreaming up something that doesn’t yet exist; it is the art of actually pretending that something into reality. As adults, our ability to imagine tends to wane. Sure, we can be creative and we can fantasize to an extent, but our knowledge of the mundane world and our beliefs in that world’s limits can confine our imaginations to a weak expression of vague mental imagery. Magical thinking requires us to reclaim our childhood abilities of imagination. It’s not enough to simply imagine that you’ll be successful; in order for imagination to play a role in actually creating the new reality, it needs to be strong, vivid, detailed—in a word, real.

To enhance your imagination, use vivid details in your mental imagery. Try this visualization which is in fact a simple form of magic. Pretend you already have what you want, and use your whole body and mind to experience the sights, sounds, and sensations of having achieved your desires. What do you see, hear, sense? How do you carry yourself? How do you speak? Where are you, and what sorts of people and things do you have around you? The more vivid, clear, and emotionally charged your imagination, the more likely you are to transform those imaginings into everyday real life.

Focus: Focus means concentrating on the outcomes you wish to create. Fear, doubt, and other forms of insecurity can distract us from attaining our goals. To remain focused, we need to keep in mind our vision of personal success and continue striving to achieve it. Try putting your wishes in writing. Make additional notes as you progress towards your dreams, marking each little step or stroke of good luck along the way. Whenever you feel scattered or feel your focus start to slip, take a look at your list of goals and see how you are doing. Another important aspect of focus is consistency; make sure your goals aren’t contrary to each other or impractical for your preferred lifestyle. When your goals are consistent, all working together to form a single story that makes sense for you personally, focus comes naturally and you’re sure to stay on track towards achieving success.

Direction: Direction means having a plan, putting your imagination and focus to good use in forging ahead on your path towards your dreams. Imagining what you want and focusing on the outcome you wish to achieve will get you nowhere unless you know how to get there. Direction is your road map, your magical GPS to remind you where to turn and when to go forward. Take another look at your list of goals you would like to focus on. Identify the steps you can take to get you there, then take them, one by one, adapting your route as needed.

Magical Living

None of this sounds very magical, does it? Common sense is actually a big aspect of magic, and by taking seemingly mundane actions towards achieving our goals, we give magical energy a ready path on which to travel, laying the groundwork for more mystical miracles to take place. Try mastering the four essentials of magical thinking, then use your creativity to take those thoughts even further.

Manifesting Your Desires – Divine Mother’s Message

Written by Kathy on July 27, 2011 · 1 Comment

Inspired Message from Divine Mother through Raven Many Voices

[H]ello my dear children, On this day I’d like to talk of how we manifest our desires in our world around us. Now more then ever the desires of the heart are playing out so quickly. This need of fast manifestation is wondrous! A prayer or desire from the heart is instantly placed in front of you, with pure intention one’s energy is directed to the purpose one follows.
When we are in unconsciousness or resistance this slows the energy of manifesting. One must be in a place of trust to allow for change. It is just like a child who wants a broken toy fixed by the parent but unwilling to let go. With tears in their eyes they cry for their teddy bear’s eye to be sewn back on, back too afraid to let go. So too you request for change but unwilling to let it go to Divine. We are ever patient as you request again and again, but now we ask you all to let go and allow for whatever form we bring you this prayer in.
[M] anifesting has two parts: the giving of the intention (prayer) and the receiving of the energy (allowing). The prayer is a focusing and understanding in what you want to manifest. It is allowing a time to become clear and centered with what desires are in the heart. Once you become focused in your desire (change) you then give us this desire to manifest.
The second part of manifesting your desires is to receive and allow it to flow into your life. Once you have attended the feelings and desires of this shift you then let it flow from you into the universe. It is in this matter that manifesting occurs as energy is blended to produce this new experience. As these energies blend they form a new experience not exactly as you may have pictured it. Allowing yourself to receive moves the energy into your life quicker and without resistance.

[I] would like each of you to pick one thing in your life you’d like to change or manifest now.
Be very focused in what you want.
Write exactly your desires and purpose for this change.
You’ll then pray for this change everyday in the morning with a few words
and then let it go to be played out within the day.
Be observant but not forceful for this change.
Do not be surprised if it is answered within a days time.
Above all please be patient with yourself if you reach a place of resistance
as this exercise will help you to reveal fear.
And my beloveds have fun with your manifesting.

Each of you hold the power of creation.
It is now time to use it more effectively.

Namaste’ Mother Mary

What’s YOUR Story?

We are the ‘story’ we tell ourselves. We are the author of our life.

YOU- The Greatest Miracle

Written by Kathy on July 20, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Excerpts from the timeless writing of Og Mandino

Let me share with you, again, the secret you heard at your birth and forgot:

“You are my greatest miracle.
You are the greatest miracle in the world.”
Those are the first words you ever heard.
Then you cried.

[Y] ou did not believe me then… and nothing has happened in the intervening years to correct your disbelief. For how could you be a miracle when you consider yourself a failure at the most menial of tasks? How can you be a miracle when you have little confidence in dealing with the most trivial of responsibilities? How can you be a miracle when you are shackled by debt and lie awake in torment over whence will come tomorrow’s bread?

You arrived, bringing with you, as does every child, the message that I was not yet discouraged of man. Why have you valued yourself in pennies when you are worth a king’s ransom? Why did you listen to those who demeaned you – and far worse, why did you believe them?

Take counsel. No longer hide your rarity in the dark. Bring it forth. Show the world. Strive not to walk as your brother walks, nor talk as your leader talks, nor labor as do the mediocre. Never do as another. Never imitate. For how do you know that you may not imitate evil; and he who imitates evil always goes beyond the example set, while he who imitates good always falls short. Imitate no one. Be yourself. Show your rarity to the world. You are not mediocre. I gave you the power to choose, and thus you have complete control over your destiny.

Choose to love …………….rather than hate

Choose to laugh……………rather than cry

Choose to create …………rather than destroy

Choose to persevere ……rather than quit

Choose to praise…………..rather than gossip

Choose to heal……………..rather than wound

Choose to give……………..rather than steal

Choose to act……………….rather than procrastinate

Choose to grow …………… rather than rot

Choose to pray……………..rather than curse

Choose to live……………….rather than die

You weep for all your childhood dreams that have vanished with the years. You weep for all your self-esteem that has been corrupted by failure. You weep for all your potential that has been bartered for security. You weep for all your individuality that has been trampled by the mobs. You weep for all your talen that has been wasted through misuse.

[W] here is the grace of your manner, the beauty of your figure, the quickness of your movement, the clarity or your mind, the brilliance of your tongue?

Once you placed your head in a pillow of grass in your father’s field and looked up at a cathedral of clouds and knew that all the gold of Babylon would be yours in time. Once you read many books and wrote on many tablets, convinced beyond any doubt that all the wisdom of Solomon would be equaled and surpassed by you. And the seasons would flow into years until lo, you would reign supreme in your garden of Eden.

Do you remember who implanted those plans and dreams and seeds of hope within you? You cannot. You have no memory of that moment when first you emerged from your mother’s womb and I placed my hand on your soft brow. And the secret I whispered in you small ear when I bestowed my blessings upon you. Remember our secret?

The passing years have destroyed your recollection, for they have filled your mind with fear, doubt, anxiety, remorse and hate, and there is no room for joyful memories where these beasts habitate.

[W] eep no more. I am with you – and this moment is the dividing line of your life. All that has gone before is like unto no more than the time you spent in your mother’s womb. What is past is dead.

Be proud. You are not the momentary whim of a careless creator experimenting in the laboratory of life. You are more than a human being; you are a human becoming. We have a world to rebuild… and if it requires a miracle, what is that to us? We are both miracles and now we have each other. With nothing but the greatest love and respect, God.

Mastering Time – You CAN Do It.

Written by Kathy on July 15, 2011 · Leave a Comment

by Cay Randall – May

You are on the way to meet a friend for lunch. You’re running behind schedule and the other drivers seem to have joined in a plot to keep you from arriving on time. A glance at your watch confirms the sinking feeling in your stomach. How can you manage to keep your appointment?

Most people in this situation would drive faster and risk a speeding ticket, hypertension, or an accident. Schedule books, calendars, clocks and conventional time management schemes reinforce the view that time is a limited commodity which must be used efficiently. This is common sense, but unnecessarily stressful. There is a more natural, more spiritual approach to time management.

Another Way
To understand this other approach, we must look at time as relative, not absolute. Albert Einstein predicted that time is related to the speed of an object. This concept was a major challenge for the Western mind and still remains outside the ordinary experience of most people. Time may prove relative for future space travelers, but is that important on your way to the luncheon?

Yes, if only to remind us that we have some control over time. I’m talking about useful, usable time. The truth is, what we focus on, we perceive. We focus through our thoughts which are very much influenced by our physical and emotional state at the moment. Long ago I discovered that I could actually expand or contract my perceived time to accomplish more or avoid long tedious waiting periods.

Natural Resources
There is nothing magical about this approach. It is perfectly natural. Our stress level determines how fast or slow time seems to be moving. Extremes of emotional tension, shock, or even profound relaxation can distort time so much that it seems to not exist at all. But most of everyday life is spent in a lower level, chronic stress state that we can be calmed in various ways: prayer, meditation, deep breathing, yoga, walking, peaceful visualization. These approaches to relaxation clear our thoughts, make us feel safer, and we seem to have more time.

So, getting back to your immediate situation, you’re late for the lunch appointment with your friend. Most people would become tense, anxious. They would breathe in shallow gasps. Under pressure to get to their goal, they would not pay attention to their surroundings and this could lead to various mishaps.

Self Talk and Breathing
Instead, turn on soft, preferably classical music. Focus your attention on a positive statement, such as, “I have all the time I need.” Notice the small details around you, especially when driving or walking in crowded conditions. Breathe deeply and slowly.

Focus is the key to expanding time. The present is all we have, and we have all the time in the world to be in it. Agitation and anxiety distract us, waste our energy. Try the following demonstration if you need proof.

Ask a friend to time you as you try to guess when 30 seconds have passed. Cover your eyes during the test to avoid visual clues. Easy? Try it under two different conditions: first with some fast, rhythmic music; next with soothing, meditative music. Most people find they underestimate how long the time period is when listening to the fast music and are more nearly correct when the calm music is playing or in silence.

You can also try to guess a 30 second interval at different times of the day. Most people feel they have more time when they are fresh and calm; mood, blood sugar level, general state of health, and fatigue all play a part in time perception. Check your accuracy at different times of the day. If you are like most of us, you have periods during the day when you are fast or slow in your time sense.
If your time sense slows in the afternoon, for instance, you can listen to lively music or eat a high protein snack to compensate for the change in your body’s clock. That can help relieve the mid–afternoon slump that many people experience.

Coffee? Sugar?
But what about those times when you are called upon to work at peak performance? If you must write an essay, finish a report, or any other project with a tension–producing deadline there are some things you should know. Drugs, like caffeine or sugar, speed your sense of time. They make time seem to go faster.

Clutter does the same thing. Working in a small area heaped with papers, books, etc., drains energy and distorts time sense. Sensory overload of any kind will make time seem to go by faster.

Relaxation – Changing the Body’s Chemistry
Many spiritual disciplines and intuitive training programs include progressive relaxation, visualization, meditation and imaging which actually help to change the body’s chemistry. These practices expand usable time, stretch the ‘moment’ of perception. They allow us to be more observant of our outer and inner sensory input. Mastery of time perception is one of the best natural medicines and a useful tool for anyone who wishes to live life more fully.

ALL God’s Children Got A Story

Written by Kathy on July 10, 2011 · Leave a Comment

It’s resonates like an old gospel spiritual: You got a story, I got a story. All God’s children got a story.

The intensity of our stories varies as does the degree of the resulting chaos. Some of us had it really rough, as did I. Yet others have had harsher lives. And for some of us, not so much. High-end or low-end trauma, it matters not. All of it can make for a great story about how and why we have the right to be victims of our own reality. Because reality is not carved in stone. It is based on a point of view. Namely, ours.

Like Shakespeare’s “To be or not to be,” it’s a choice.
To be – to empower ourselves; not to be – to debilitate and hobble ourselves. Neither choice makes us right or wrong, but one will definitely make us happier. Which candle will we light today?

It’s easy to let stories – old ways of seeing ourselves, our histories and agendas – take center stage in our lives and be the focus of our existence. It’s easy to consciously or unconsciously be a victim. What if we all looked at the experiences in our lives, especially the tougher ones, as simply passages? Places through which we have traveled. Whatever the journey has been, it pales in comparison to the core of who we are today. We’re all at the head of our own line. No circumstance, no individual, event, or history gets to state who we are. We do.

Who and how do you want to be today? You get to choose. Really, you do.

Begin by releasing resistance. If things are or were tough allow that things are or were tough. Don’t debate it. Acknowledge it. Now, here comes the caveat. No story. If you want to choose triumph, if you want to choose you, you can’t put a story around why you feel so miserable. You won’t create change and learn how to empower yourself by saying, “The clerk in the grocery store forgot to put the milk in the bag and now I have to go back and nobody does it right and nobody ever takes care of me and this always happens to me…” By the time you’re done letting your run on sentences – your victimization story – vomit all over you, everybody around you is ready to throw up, too.

If you want to work with the law of non-resistance which always precedes the law of attraction, you could say. “Ugh, the milk’s not here. How irritating. But, wait. Maybe there’s something for me in the drive back to the store. Maybe it will give me the time I have been needing to take a breath. Maybe it will teach me that I can create fifteen minutes in my day just for me. Next time, I’ll see if I can do it without the double milk run.”

Even if your story is based on something of much greater substance than the milk metaphor, it’s all the same principle. Some one may have truly “done you wrong.” You may have genuinely been hurt and it was perhaps outrageously unfair. I’m not asking you to agree with what happened or to pretend it wasn’t hard. I’m asking you to hold yourself in a higher light, to quit attaching your identity to what has happened to you. You are not the result of your experiences. Your life and the way you experience it in the now is the result of the way you own yourself in the light of whatever it is your odyssey has been.

Change your mind about yourself and you will change your reality. It takes a lot of practice to break away from old identities and yesterday’s attachments. It takes courage to stay focused on the recognition that there is a Source inside of you greater than any circumstance or doubt. It’s not a straight line. You’ll have to be willing to fall down and then get up. Maybe you’ll have to tumble down into doubt and confusion 100 times today; tomorrow maybe it’ll be 105 times. But soon it will become automatic – this reaching for a choice about yourself that is greater than the illusion that something bigger than you is blocking your way. That “something bigger” is your doubt and fear, your attachment to an old story of pain and suffering, self-judgment and inadequacy.

If you’re feeling stuck…. step off the treadmill of obsessively replaying your right and wrong, good and bad scenarios. You’re so worth your own effort. Make your new prayer, your new mantra, “Show me a greater point of view. A point of view stronger than my doubt, greater than my anger, fairer than my judgment. I am not that which has happened to me. Show me the point of view of Love and how I can recognize and be healed by It in the midst of my chaos.”

There have been times in my life when I have clung to this prayer for weeks, and on occasion, months. But there has never been a time when, as long as I held to my intention of self-growth, that the clouds didn’t ultimately part and the healing presence of wisdom come cascading through.

“All God’s children got a story.” It’s part of our nature. What will your story be today? The light of all that you truly are and the potentials that await you? Or will it be the shadow of doubt? Shadows are within the light, not outside of it. And shadows have no true power over you, for at your core you are so much greater than the illusion of separation.

Today make the promise of you be an empowering choice, not an interminable process. We’re all in this dance of life together. Know that in the midst of all our self-perceived flaws, is the stunning light of all that we can be. Let it shine.

Now that’s a story worth living in!
