Becoming Who We Really Are

65039279142__cd0ba3a9-be5a-4955-81c2-c9e7a1f732c1There is a part of us that resides with God.  It is our Soul, our Spirit.  It is part of God.

If anyone has ever been with a loved one who has crossed over to the other side, and has felt the spirit leave the body to go back to
God, you know what that is.  It is the life essence that animates these human bodies, these avatars.  In order to have this 3D experience, and able to walk around in such a dense reality, a percentage of our Soul came down to spirit our vehicle, our human body.  Miraculous really.  The identity we have as we walk around on this Earth, working jobs, raising families, going to the grocery store, cutting the lawn…  is not who we really are.  It is who we had to be to survive the matrix. It is our ego identity, our persona. 

The time of change is here.  Our world systems (banking, media, government, education, technology, healthcare, energy, history, geography, laws of physics, math & science) are changing.  They make up the current 3D matrix in which we have been living for thousands of years.  Our Earth and our bodies are rising in vibration with each energy wave and gateway that we go through.  Much of our old matrix cannot survive in higher realms, therefore, the old matrix must fall away.  Whether we rip off the band-aid or go slowly and gently- at this point remains to be seen, but one thing is clear… we are awake and aware, and we do not consent to the old matrix system anymore.  We do not consent to being used and abused, sold and traded, given lies and sold empty promises.  We are waking from our trauma-induced slumber… and we are rising up.

IMG_5105As we rise in vibration and become lighter, more of our Soul comes down into our bodies.  We become more of who we really are.  Our Soul is us, it is who we really are.  It is the part that connects us to God and a vast knowledge of real truth.  It is our Higher Self.  We connect to that higher aspect of ourselves through meditation and dreams.  That is what they mean by “go inside.”  It is where we go to find our answers and what gives us our inner knowing.  It is our “5D and above” connection.  When we connect with our Soul, our Higher Self, we begin to embody more of who we really are.  It feels more comfortable than our 3D ego-self identity.  We resonate to higher vibrational food, activities, people, conversations, and projects.  We become more light-filled and we become light-bearers, meaning, we become a literal lighthouse to everything that comes in our vicinity. 

 

 

Deep down inside, there are things you always knew were true:

·       We have more potential than we were led to believe.

·       The human body can perform miracles.

·       There’s more to our reality than we see at the moment.

·       Animals can sense what we are thinking and feeling.

·       Our history is different than we are told.

·       There is something happening in our world that is shaking out all the dirt.

·       Angels are real and some of them are here with us.

·       The Earth is a loving being.

·       Trees are alive and if we are willing to listen, they will give us wisdom. 

·       If we were able to be our true selves, we would help eachother and solve more problems
together.

As we move forward, be prepared to be surprised.  Try to let go of all preconceived notions of religion, history, geography, physics, math, science, etc.  New Earth will be very different and very magical, and that is what we want… because we know that we can no longer live
in that old Earth matrix.  We have graduated to a higher level.  We have outgrown it.  We have survived it.  We are Survivors.

 

Exercise #1:

Do what you would normally do to raise your vibration.  Think of something happy, fun, joyful and add some gratitude for the experience.  Feel your body start to hum and feel the flow of energy through and around you.  If you need help, call on Archangel Metatron.  Say silently or out loud, “Metatron, please raise my vibration as high
as it will go.” Trust.  He will. 

Now, remember that experience.  Practice it a few times until it comes effortlessly.

With the power of your focused intention, give it a codeword.  A word that means something just to you.  With your intention, that codeword becomes a shortcut to raising your vibration, every time. 

 

Exercise #2:

Do what you would normally do to put protection around yourself.  Put on the Armor of God, close your field, spin your Chakras and Merkabah, golden-white light around yourself, etc… whatever works for you.  If you need help, call on your Guides, Angels and Archangel Michael to put a field of protection around you.  Feel it.  Feel the power of it, nothing can affect you except that which is for your highest good. 

Now, remember how that feels.  Remember how that works. 

Using your focused intention, declare a shortcut codeword for putting that protection around yourself every single time you say it.  No exception.

Purpose

The last post discussed ambition for the ego’s sake leading to an emptiness inside.  This post centers on finding purpose in order to live a life of meaning.  The search for our life’s purpose begins with complete honesty with ourselves.  That means self-forgiveness and self-acceptance.  We have to be willing to start with a clean slate.  Then we have to be willing to get in touch with that little divine spark inside of us that is both unique and part of God the Universal Source.  When we align ourselves and resonate with that part of us, life just flows.  The Universe seems to work with us and happy little synchronicities begin to occur.  When we align with our purpose, we are telling the Universe we are here to dance with life, and the Universe, in turn brings us more.

Dr. Wayne, in The Power of Intention wrote,

“Intention and purpose are as beautifully and naturally intertwined as the double helix of your DNA.  There are no accidents.  You’re here for the purpose that you signed up for before you entered the world of particles and form.  Many of the things that you refer to as problems result from the fact that you’re disconnected from intention and therefore unaware of your true spiritual identity.  The process of polishing that connecting link and reconnecting is basic to your intention to live your life on purpose.  As you cleanse this link, you’ll make two very important discoveries.  First, you’ll discover that your purpose is not as much about what you do as it is about how you feel.  Your second discovery will be that feeling purposeful activates your power of intention to create anything that’s consistent with the seven faces of intention” (Being creative, kind, love, beauty, ever-expansive, abundant and receptive.)

But what do you do if you don’t know what your purpose is?  Dr. Wayne suggests dropping the question and the frustration first before you take a step further.  He suggests that since we came into this life with no material things and we will leave with no material things, we will feel most on purpose when being in service to others.  No matter what we choose to do, when our purpose is to be in service to God the Universal Source and others in our human evolution, we are being purposeful.  When we are motivated that way, and detached from the outcome, we will feel more meaning by living with purpose and intention.  We feel happy and content knowing we are doing the right thing.

When we are living our purpose in the flow of life, the Universal Source will provide us the resources to continue our work.  And when we resonate with the flow of life, we are better able to work with the Law of Attraction to manifest what we need.  If you have been wondering about what you should be doing, that is your purpose trying to re-connect with you.  If you are feeling lost and cannot manage to figure out your purpose, ask for the guidance you need.  You can say it silently or speak it.  We are never alone and someone is always listening to us.  The energies are ripe now for your prayers to be heard and answered.  Let go of judgments and condemnations.  Let go of all that has stood in the way of getting to where you want to be.  Forgive others, forgive yourself.  If it’s too hard, then just declare it or use the affirmation below.  All is in alignment right now to claim our divine right to peace and happiness. Connect with God the Universal Source and your Angels.  Ask for signs, ask for guidance.

Lastly, Dr. Wayne says this about purpose,

“There’s a silent something within that intends you to express yourself.  That something is your soul telling you to listen and connect through love, kindness, and receptivity to the power of intention.  That silent inner knowing will never leave you alone.  You may try to ignore it and pretend it doesn’t exist, but in honest, alone moments of contemplative communion with yourself, you sense the emptiness waiting for you to fill it with your music.  It wants you to take the risks involved, and to ignore your ego and the egos of others who tell you that an easier, safer, or more secure path is best for you.  Ironically, it’s not necessarily about performing a specific task or being in a certain occupation or living in a specific location.  It’s about sharing yourself in a creative, loving way using the skills and interest that are inherently part of you.”

 

Affirmation:  

It is my intention to live with purpose.

I claim my right as a divine human being to live my life with meaning, in peace.

From this moment on, I will walk my path with purpose.

Ambition

As Dr. Wayne said in The Power of Intention,

“That inner beingness knows why you’re here, but your ego prods you to chase after money, prestige popularity, sensory pleasures and miss the purpose of living  you may feel sated and gain a reputation, but inside there’s that gnawing feeling typified by the old Peggy Lee song, ‘Is That All There Is?’  Focusing on the demands of the ego leaves you feeling unfulfilled.  Deep within you, at the level of your being, is what you were intended to become, to accomplish, and to be.  In that inner placeless place, you’re connected to the power of intention.  It will find you.  Make a conscious effort to contact it and listen.  Practice being what you are at the source of your soul.  Go to your soul level, where intention and purpose fit together so perfectly that you achieve the epiphany of simply knowing this is it.”

My friend, Erik, in his Mom’s blog, talks about ego and fulfillment this way,

“When you see these people (pointing to his eyes) you can see it in their eyes. But it’s hard because ego and the understanding of what it is—it’s probably one of the most misunderstood things that, by understanding it, you can change your life. When these people reside more in ego, that’s when you see these lost souls who continually have illness. They haven’t found that sacred inner space that has nothing to do with ego. Mom, when you get to that sacred inner spot, you bring your awareness there and consciously connect. It’s more like everything else just naturally falls away.  Then you naturally become your authentic self. You naturally become a higher vibrational frequency, and the higher your vibration, the less likely you are to have physical illness.  If you can control the mind and not become a slave to your own thoughts, you can live a life of peace, but there are all these people out there that are like, ‘Oh, I can’t make my mind shut up!’ Well, as long as you believe that you can’t make it shut up, that’s what you’ll experience. The difference is that when you find yourself looking outside for happiness, health and joy, peace, that’s when you know there’s a lack of connection to the spiritual body.  Mom, to get [mind, body and spirit] on the same page and in good shape, honor your true self every moment you can. Be mindful in that. “I’m doing this because I love myself,” or whatever. The more you can allow yourself to be yourself, the more you’re going to nurture all three, but when you begin to believe others’ thoughts of you, other ideas, other concepts, even your own negative thoughts about yourself, you do damage to all three.”

Our current evolutionary shift is about the change from living life from the ego to living from a passion to create deeper meaning and fulfillment.  Dr. Wayne, in his blog explained the four major shifts we go through in life to attain greater purpose in one’s life.

His 2-hour movie, originally titled “Ambition to Meaning” is now called “The Shift.”  This movie is so worth watching and many have called it life-changing.  (If you love this movie and want to own it, it be purchased through Hay House or Amazon.)

Have the Courage to be The Real You

In a previous blog post, we talked about the ego’s role in letting go… the discussion continues…

Having the courage to be the real you means rewiring our perceptions of ourselves rooted in our early days on this Earth.  The lessons we learned, the things we witnessed in our families, the messages internalized by our teachers and the bullying by classmates.  Then what it meant to operate in an acceptable way in society, our first jobs, then government and politics kicked in.  Not to mention the bombardment of “you’re not complete until you have this, do this, look like this, buy this” by our media and commercials.  All these form the basis of our Earthly ego.

I’m not saying to live in a hut, off the grid, in utter solitude… but I am saying that the time is now to rewire our funnel and control the openness with which the societal noise uses to enter our being.  I’m suggesting that we be our own true self first, and then make the conscious choice of whether we will allow our full attention on something for a certain length of time, then unplug and be our true inner self again.  I’m not saying that the ego is all bad either, but any self image message that says that we are anything but conscious beings of love, is an illusion.

Rather than get rid of the ego entirely or even villainize the ego, I propose to clean out the ego and get it on board our personal choo-choo train toward being an evolved human.  Sort through the messages that gave us our Earthly identity in an effort to just do a little house cleaning, in order to remember who we truly are in the now in an evolved state of consciousness.

That message we internalized as a three year old, when a parent directed their own anger and frustration on us and set off an internalized belief and chain of events that led to our own self sabotaging cycles.  We did not know then that the anger was about them and not us.  In our ego housecleaning, we would try to forgive them, they didn’t know any better- we can’t change them, only they have the power to do that… but we can reclaim the truth of who we really are now.

Housecleaning the ego can free up one’s ability to gain the inner peace needed to master the Law of Attraction in order to create the life we want and attract the experiences and happiness for which we yearn.

Dr. Wayne has these suggestions to get us started:

  1. Think of yourself as a peaceful person, pause before you act or react.
  2. Practice releasing fear and guilt, you do not need it.
  3. Shed what offends you and your grievances, don’t take things so personally.
  4. Try to refrain from condemning, just get still and let the judgment subside.
  5. Embrace your truth, be your authentic self.
  6. Make an inner commitment to establish a new relationship with truth– when you catch yourself overstating the truth, try to rephrase it in truth.
  7. Try to steer your inner dialogues toward your path of purpose.

In his true unique fashion, my friend, Erik Medhus says this about good and bad ego in his Mom’s blog: 

…the “you” who you are when you’re not thinking about anything in particular is the REAL you.

GOOD EGO, true ego is who you are when you shut the f**k up inside. The more you empower THAT, the calmer you’ll feel, the more you’ll be able to do with your life without getting in your own way. 

If you’re afraid of that quiet space I’m tellin’ ya, everything you’re lookin for is in there.  

BAD EGO is everything you’re doin’ that avoids the quiet spot. That’s the (hilarious / ironic) part about obsessing about ego, being all self-righteous that your ego is smaller than the next dude’s, like it’s a cell phone and smaller is better. 

As long as you know how to PIPE THE HELL DOWN inside your own head, it doesn’t matter how “big” your ego is. 

Good ego is knowing you can listen to someone else’s truth from that little quiet place inside your chest – AND LET THEM F**KING HAVE THEIR OWN REALITY!  Good ego is knowing that this person’s truth DOES NOT threaten your own reality.  I’m serious, it doesn’t.  And you know what’s causing all that shit to go flying around?  The BAD ego – yours, other people’s.  That’s why people are so obsessive about “killing the ego” – it’s like when drinking caused all evil in the world!  Now ego is the big scapegoat.

Nothing you can do about that with your own bad ego, that’ll just make a bigger storm – the best way to deal with it is lock in your GOOD sense of self, that (inner spark that is the true you) and let that zensome-b*tch deal with it!

I REPEAT:  the main thing about EGO is free will – the ability (gift) to decide for yourself what you think about all this sh*t flying around!

In an old energy, the ego served its purpose to get us to this point in the now.  With this new energy and the delicious growth ahead of us in remembering who we really are, the ego becomes our connection between what is inside us and what we see manifested in the world.

 

Affirmation:  

Today I release all inappropriate things that do not work or keep me from moving forward.

I release anything that defines what I am that is not majestic to my body or self.

I release all things in my history that keeps me from seeing my magnificence today.

Letting Go

Dr. Wayne said in his blog post about letting go ” Most stress in our lives results from hanging on to beliefs that keep us striving for more, because ego stubbornly believes we need it. When we make the shift away from attachment, the influence of our ego fades. We replace attachment with contentment. Chasing and striving—and then becoming attached to what we chased after—is a source of anxiety that feeds Ambition, but it won’t satisfy the need for Meaning at our soul level.”  

My friend, Erik Medhus says in his Mom’s blog, “Letting go involves two things: One is the brain driven by the ego that keeps wanting to bring it up and look at it. [And two] Humans are naturally perfectionists, they want to over-analyze to understand what they could have done otherwise they feel that they have an incomplete answer……So, sometimes letting go and you can’t, means you don’t have all the information. But get this catch: Sometimes you can’t get all the info. You just can’t. That’s when you have to forgive and forget and say you’re just not meant to know. You’re totally on the right path, Mom. If you didn’t have your ego, then you wouldn’t have a hard time letting go, because it just wouldn’t be about you.”

Some of our most stubborn baggage is stubborn simply because we haven’t figured out all the “hows” and “whys” yet.  Our egos want to find a way to make it feel right and find a way to BE right.  Sometimes even if there is no possible way it can ever be made right.  In this case, we just have to trust God and the Universe, and let it go.  Dr. Wayne, in his book, The Power of Intention, gives us 7 steps for taming the ego.

  1.  Stop being offended.
  2. Let go of your need to win.
  3. Let go of your need to be right.
  4. Let go of your need to be superior.
  5. Let go of your need to have more.
  6. Let go of identifying yourself on the basis of your achievements.
  7. Let go of your reputation.

Things are shifting.  We are evolving rapidly.  Many people are going through a crisis of self.  It is more important than ever to let go of that which we cannot afford to keep carrying, so that we can step into the shoes of our divine selves.  Time has run out for the excuses we use to hang onto our problems and it is time to release them and move forward.
