Tap Into Your Higher Self

Angels, archangels, saints, guides, ascended masters, these many wondrous entities and archetypes have captivated our collective imagination and consciousness for eons, creating strong fascinations with spirituality, belief in miracles, and a magnified inner longing for connection with Source. They have served as the personifications of religious and spiritual perfection, and templates for our own personal development and growth (What would _____ do?). Many of these ideals have also served as conduits for a petition with God, and in many respects, have become intercessors for a hopeful direct connection with All That Is. While it can indeed be wonderful and inspiring to use these many powerful inner matrices as a means of gaining enlightenment and providing a source of focus for the attainment of God’s gifts and miracles, it is important that we place these cosmically conscious spiritual energies into a larger context of spiritual enlightenment; that of providing temporary succor while we grow and develop our own personal means of ultimate spiritual unfoldment.

What all too often tends to get lost or overlooked while tapping into the energies of spiritual intermediaries is that the greatest ally each of us possesses is already within us. What is missed in all of this is that our greatest source of strength, unlimited insight and knowledge, and the key to ascension itself all comes from our own higher self. We are our own true path to God. It is wonderful to connect with Angels and the like, and yes they do exist (I’ve had my own experiences), but one should be focusing their primary attention on channeling their higher self, their direct connection to Source itself. You need nothing else but you, for you are a spark of the Divine itself.

Just to provide a brief snapshot into the inner cosmology of your true essence:

1. You possess a physical body, but you are not that body. The spark of awareness that drives this biological unit in 3D, and is the eternal center of awareness that is you is known as Soul,
2. You are Soul, capable of controlling this biological machine and process information in the 3D spectrum through our bio-computer known as the brain, but we also have the capacity to leave our physical body and travel into the inner worlds of creation. This is most often done in the dream state but can also be done through meditation and projection,
3. Our inner Soul awareness is only one aspect of a collective consciousness that is us, containing a myriad of experience through incarnation after incarnation, all taking place simultaneously within the illusion of time. There is in fact a higher aspect to this consciousness collective, which is called an Oversoul. This is a key provider of spiritual insight and enlightenment, and is tapped directly into the universal consciousness of Source allowing us cosmic consciousness and the ability to tap into any aspect of understanding we may wish; we only need to learn how to connect into this energy on a conscious, regular basis.

There are even greater aspects of personal awareness beyond this point, ultimately leading to Source itself, but we’ll stop here for now (this is enough to absorb and process for one entry). What is most important to take away here is that all you need in order to gain universal (and multiversal) enlightenment is all within you now. You need only accept that it is here and begin to learn how to consciously tap into this unlimited pool of awareness, for it is you. This is ultimately the goal. While guides, angels and ascended masters can be wonderful, they are only stepping stones, a means to a greater end, not an end in itself. After all is said and done, you are your only true path to Source, for the goal is to awaken to your true self, your incredible multi-layered, multi-dimensional essence. This is where we are all headed. You truly have your own back. You need not worry whom to trust when it is of you. Your collective consciousness, which eventually takes on a WE focused perspective, ultimately has everything you need.

During this amazing time of ascension, it is very important that this point be brought into the lexicon of mass spiritual dialogue. My reason for being so adamant about this is a simple yet significant one. As we all collectively come online in our own respective spiritual awakenings, we will be enticed to open ourselves up for channeling other energies that are not our own. Yes, it is true that we are ultimately all connected as sparks of divine awareness to the ONE, but some energies are more connected than others, with intentions that are sometimes less noble than others. You should love God and all that IT has created, but you should also keep your shields up. Do not become seduced and/or intoxicated by the swan songs of enlightenment from sources that claim ascension, but do so by inviting you to channel their energies, for many of these energies can be deceptive and may lull you into a false sense of well-being, ultimately pulling you into a bait-and-switch scenario of dark intent. Any true ascended master, angel and/or multi-dimensional entity that is Service to Others and of the light would be encouraging you to tap into your higher self, not channel something or someone else. So be careful.

Ultimately, you are your own path to God. Ultimately, you are all that you need to get back home to Source. This is by design. All of the spiritual giants from Jesus to Buddha and Mohammed, whom have become the sources of today’s many world religions, all came to this ultimate personal divine understanding within themselves. They became their own way and their own light back home. We should use them as inspirations and examples, but we should ultimately awaken to our own higher essence. This is what Source always intended, for we are Source itself; we just forgot.

In future discussions, we will delve further into how to enhance this personal connection with your higher self, but for now it’s good to just contemplate that you do have a higher self (selves), and on the other key message contained in this writing. Love All That Is, but keep your shields up. No one can make you do anything without your consent. Namaste.

A New Normal

Normalcy is relative. It’s dependent upon what one accepts and/or becomes familiar with in his/her daily life. It is often consistent with what one becomes conditioned to allow into his/her state of consciousness over time. Conditioning is in a major way at the heart our collective experience, and is perhaps one of the biggest contributors to our current world situation and existence on this physical plane. We have for so long been inculcated into such an extensively dysfunctional cultural and societal experience that for many of us there is no clear understanding or comparative representation of just how living the life of a true light-filled Spiritual Being (Child of God) should be, or even could be. This conditioning has occurred over eons of time and through multiple generations. As a result, we have come to live in a world of stress and fear where the playing field is far from level and success often depends on the exercise of selfish intent and disposition, perpetuating a Service to Self rather than Service to Others mentality and consciousness. This is considered by many to be normal. But now, in our ever-present and growing awareness of the spiritual ascension process currently underway, things are changing...drastically. We are transitioning to a new normal.

Coming into a clear and conscious understanding of the relativity of normal was made abundantly clear to me many years ago when I served as a drug treatment counselor in an urban DC methadone clinic. I’ve referenced this before in an earlier entry entitled The Hub of Your Wheel. As a clinician, I worked with a large caseload of clients struggling with heroin addiction but also dealing with poly-substance abuse ranging from cocaine to alcoholism, prescription drug abuse, and even sexual addiction. This environment lent itself on a regular, unrelenting basis to a very high degree of human drama, whether it was from extreme emotional volatility in daily group meetings and individual therapy sessions or a particular client having relapsed for the ump-teenth time and found to be in non-compliance with treatment requirements, resulting in dismissal from the program.

Every day there was a crisis of some sort, and after a while it got to the point where I and many of my colleagues began to find ourselves both expecting these episodes and no longer considering them to be any big deal. There was nothing strange or abnormal about the intensely stressful environment that we were working under. I was slowly becoming emotionally divested from the activities I was involved in, merely responding appropriately to a given clinical situation and/or challenge, but finding myself somewhat detached from what was going on (under the circumstances, not necessarily a bad thing). This same description has often been associated with public servants such as policemen, paramedics and/or medical ER professionals, and the military that deal with life and death situations everyday. There is sometimes a tendency to become oblivious to the madness that they encounter daily, and desensitize themselves from their surroundings often as a coping mechanism. Such was the case with me in this drug treatment environment. The challenge was, being a person of inherent empathy and compassion, I did care what happened to my clients and found myself often pained with their plight, unable to help them since in many cases they were as yet unable or unwilling to help themselves. I continued on this journey for a number of years until eventually burnout set in, and I had to make the difficult decision to either stay and succumb to the stress, or leave and pursue a different career path for my own personal survival and emotional wellbeing. I only mention this life episode to illustrate how “normal” for me became anything but normal, and how over time people can begin to see things from a highly skewed perspective, not realizing that what might be considered normal is in fact an altered state.

Such is the state that we as a world society have been living in for millennia. We have been the generational victims of a sorted dark manipulation of our true divine nature, and have over time been conditioned to become the unwilling effect of a fear-based existence, struggling through the control and restrictive beliefs that such fear can bring into our consciousness and lives. We have been held hostage to man’s law, where initially there was a consistency with a common law understanding that drew clear and easily discernable delineations between right and wrong, but over time has been manipulated to unfairly favor the interests of a selfish and elite few, creating illusions of limitation and oppression for others. This is not the way life should be. This is not the way life was intended to be, and it is now up to us to reclaim our true place as divine light beings existing in the energies of love, joy, and happiness. It is now time that we no longer accept the limitations that have been placed on our personal and social consciousness. But before change can be impacted through a mass transition of Divine Light, change must first take place from within, for we are in fact the conduits and channels of this light.

Research has shown that the amygdala, a small almond shaped part of the brain located near the hippocampus, is responsible for conscious thought as well as emotion. One of the core emotional responses triggered in the amygdala is fear, which was initially hot-wired to protect us in hostile environments with a fight-or-flight response to danger. The problem is that our environment has been created to perpetuate a consistent fear response without reprieve, stimulated by the uncertainties of life, economic triggers, dog-eat-dog competitiveness, and an illusory belief that there is limitation in this world; that there is not enough and that every man/woman must fend for themselves. This is a false premise based on a false perception, but one that has been manipulated and perpetuated for so long that we have been conditioned into believing it is real. Tied to this fear based illusion is the feeling of victimization, unworthiness, and an acceptance of a limited station in the pecking order of society; again, all an illusion. We have on a mass scale become conditioned like Pavlov’s dog, responding to cause and effect stimuli that have perpetuated the myth. It is now time to get off of this broken cycle and begin a new way of living, breathing, thinking, feeling and being. The time for a new normal is now.

We are approaching a new day; a new horizon of possibilities and beauty where love, compassion, honesty, integrity, creative expression and the pursuits of individual passion rule, and fear no longer has a foothold on our interactions with one another. More and more people are beginning to awaken to their true identity as Soul and realizing that within the current status quo, the emperor(s) have no clothes. More and more people are rejecting the fear and realizing that they are all Divine Beings with the potential of living in abundance; understanding that through the law of attraction there is enough! More and more people are realizing that there needs to be wholesale changes made in the gross inequities of man’s law so as to become more in alignment with God’s law, a law based on love, balance, fairness and equity for all. These are the changes that are being undertaken across the world today, for we are the change that we seek. It is time to rise.

Mass ascension is now upon us. It is now time for you to be a part of this spiritual renaissance of upliftment. It is time for you to once and for all become the change that you have always wanted to be. We are no longer the pawns of a skewed reality presented to us as normal, but are moving into a higher place, a greater perspective, a higher self. Now is the time to practice abundance and accept it into your life. Now is the time to become the Light Being and Lightworker that you truly are, and awaken to your true self.

Remember, your universe is consistent with your state of consciousness. It’s time for a new normal. What you think and what you believe is what will manifest, so outflow the correct energy, an energy based on love and not fear. Accept abundance in your life. Reject the fear and anything associated with it. Let the bad stuff go, forgive others and let go of worry. Be kind to your fellow man/woman. Unworthiness is an illusion. You are loved, so learn to love yourself unconditionally. Meditate, pray, or whatever you feel comfortable with, but do so daily in order to tap into the higher energies and become accustomed to these refined rates of vibration. They resonate through you and cleanse the body, heart, mind, and Soul. It is the mechanism of change, the power of love. Have fun with life; it’s not all work and drudgery. Don’t forget to play. Accept a perfect day this day and every other. Get the ego out of the way; it’s a bad and selfish leader and is not who you truly are.

We are now in a global collective consciousness where we are starting to become spiritually aware of the connection that has always existed, and the connectedness with one another and the universe. Know that our world is filled with people of light who want to share in the love, mutual respect and comradery with one-another. Draw to you people of like consciousness who are ready to do their part to change the world. As you’re doing your part, others are doing theirs in similar fashion. What we are talking about here is a critical mass consciousness based on the light of Divine love. It changes things in major ways. Be a part of this change. It is now. Own your personal power and do not allow anyone or anything to take it away; it is yours! It’s time to change the world. Let’s do it together. Visualize the new normal, NOW!

Namaste.
