Whenever we accept or decline we are making a choice to follow one path instead of another because each choice takes us down a different path. While we can never be fully aware of the outcome of the choice because that awareness happens once we have experienced its results, we can manipulate the results, so to speak, by accepting before the choice is presented. That process involves a kind of time and space distortion that each of us is capable of, but which we rarely use.
We see time and space as fixed elements in a material world but they are really only points of intersection based on what we are willing to accept as real. In simpler terms, what we see as choices that we can accept or decline are actually intersections of time and space that we have created through our beliefs, thoughts and perceptions of what we think the world should look like. Another option for us is to envision what the world could look like and that creates an entirely different array of choices.
Since we are the ultimate creators of our reality, every choice that we can accept or decline begins with us. If we set the parameters or boundaries for our reality, which involves using our power of intention and our ability to determine our energetic vibration, we create the array of possible choices that we can accept or decline. So if we decide that our choices will include a motorcycle, for example, then we can choose from a variety of different makes and models that can come to us in a variety of ways. But without that initial determination, motorcycles won't be part of our array of choices because we have not made them a possibility.
More Retrograde Madness?
This has been a tough Mercury retrograde period and it ends this week, although the shadow period extends to September 9. This is something that happens at least three times a year so it's not an unusual phenomenon but our heightened awareness and greater sensitivity to energy is making this one more difficult because we are more aware of the changes that are happening, more attuned to the shifts that are happening around us and more involved in them because we are more connected to everything that is happening, beyond the small part that is our involvement.
This heightened sensitivity makes us aware of the changes that are happening within us and within others. We feel their pain, their doubt and confusion and if we are in fear, we can take it personally. The transformation we are going through is not something that is being experienced by people who have been or are following a spiritual path, it's being felt by everyone. And everyone reacts to it according to their level of understanding. So someone who suddenly decides that a relationship is no longer right for them at this time may be feeling doubt and confusion about their own ability to relate. But to the person on the receiving end, it's a different matter.
I've been writing for some time that the transformation we have been going through for the past five years or more will soon be felt by everyone and that time is here. And others will experience this transformation through the filter of their fears and have to address their own energetic alignment and integrity. They will make choices that include us, or not. They will act from their fear and may decide that the life they have is wrong for them and abandon it, and us. They make become so different that we can no longer be with them.
And as we continue our own transformation we may decide that the life we have is no longer right for us, that the people we have been surrounded by, including family, are so removed from our vibrational range that we can no longer connect to them in any way. Parting may be difficult but what is removed will be replaced by what fits our energy and this is a time for us to focus on the level of community, connection and relating that we want in our life so we can be surrounded by people that we can and want to be connected and who can and want to be connected to us.
Uriel's Message -- Be Your Self A message to be your self may be quite obvious. Of course you are your self, what else can you be? But there are many aspects to your self and you can be or become any of them that you choose. In your lifetime you will embody many different aspects of your self, some of which you like, others which you do not like at all. The self is embodied in the physical body, and is no more than an expression of a particular energy. So as your energy shifts so does the aspect of the self that can be expressed through you. The aspect you choose becomes your self expression, which is how you express energy in physical form. Energy without form is potential without purpose but energy always seeks form through expression. So while you may wish to express only the highest aspects of your self, those that require healing and transformation into higher vibrations, which is the purpose of your life journey, are those that will be the first to seek form and this will be irresistible. With others this is expressed as a soulmate relationship; within yourself it is often the choices that you are compelled to make even though you later wonder why you chose that path. The self that seeks expression is the aspect that seeks healing. Once that is completed another aspect of the self is available, at a different level of vibration, if the past is cleared and forgiven. As long as regret is present, that self aspect is still active and its vibrational level is the strongest (even though it is not the highest) and will move attract healing. With conscious intention you can choose the self you live through. Do you want to live in joy, know success and abundance and feel powerful? That is one aspect of the self that is possible. Others can include challenges, lack, and powerlessness. Which self do you choose to be? You can choose any and all choices are right for you as they are chosen. The aspect you choose is the one that matches your level of energetic vibration in each moment. You can be the highest or lowest of your self aspects or any in between. You can choose power or powerlessness, connection or disconnection, love or fear and all choices are right and have a purpose in your life path. Eventually all will choose their highest self aspects because as healing, learning, growth and transformation are completed, all other aspects of the self will surrender to unconditional love and this will be heaven on earth. |
Un--Learning Victimhood In response to last week's Indigo/Crystal message, one mother wrote to ask how she could stop supporting her daughter's victimhood, even though she had every reason to feel like a victim. How could she validate her emotions and allow her to release them without also feeling pity for her and what happened to her? How could she teach her daughter to rise above her experience in a powerful way while dealing with her own guilt as a mother who could not protect her? And teaching her daughter to be careful in a world in which teaching our children to be afraid is something we often need to do in order to protect them from those who wish them harm, but we can't make them feel like victims in the world. Many children experience life situations, sometimes at a very early age, in which they are victimized by others. It is hard for us to accept that children have their own karma and can have these experiences at a very early age. Just as we experience powerlessness so we can find our power, we also become victims so we can learn to rise above the energy of victimhood. And as parents, we are often so heartbroken by what happens to our children that all we want to do is protect them, validate their experience by expressing our own guilt over our inability to protect them and our fear that it may happen again. We think that supporting our children in their victimhood validates their experience, lets them know how badly we feel for them and how willing we are to support and comfort them. But there is a fine line that we cross when we do that because by teaching our children that they were victims in that situation, and they were, we allow them to get stuck in that mentality and they stay in it, allowing themselves to be victimized as children and then as adults. So we can do something else, which is acknowledge that they have been a victim and then move them into a more powerful understanding of that experience. "This happened and you are powerful in spite of it" is a much more powerful statement than "This happened and you suffered and still suffer from it". No matter how young the child, reminding them of their power is something we can do every day, whether or not they have had a victim experience. When we do we allow them to connect to their most powerful aspects and that is what they will use to connect with the world and it's far more beneficial than dealing with the world as a victim. |
