Dear Fellow Traveler,
Since my last blog I am
beginning to see from all the emails and phone calls that my messages
really are starting to have an effect. I couldn't be more happy but I
will be even happier when the message that I am conveying to you
actually starts taking effect in a very practical way while moving
you towards a greater level of happiness and contentment in your
life. This is my only reason for doing these blogs. I want you to be
happier in your life so that you can feel that it's actually all
worthwhile and that life in general starts to feel much less of a
struggle where enjoyment can become commonplace for you.
To achieve this state
of being then it's imperative to bring about a change in the way that
you perceive not only yourself but the world around you as well. If
you remember, in my last message I reiterated the wisdom that a
problem cannot be solved from the same level as that in which it was
created. To rise above your problems then you need to change your
energy, or the vibrational quality of it, which means that you will
see the world differently when you do.
Now, don't pre-judge
this by applying your current level of rationalization as it simply
won't work. You will be going directly against what I have re-stated
concerning solving problems at a common level. By following this
series of blogs then you will change the way in which you see many
things and slowly you will begin to appreciate the wisdom of my
guidance. Right now it's difficult for you to do this as there are
many pressing issues which are taking up the majority of your energy
to cope with. Problems which your mind keeps nagging you to get on
and deal with in preference to musing over some esoteric explanation
about where to find the directions to Nirvana and how to decode the
map when you do.
My current blog series
is not about trying to teach you how to delve into the heady subject
of quantum physics while visualizing how the atoms of your body were
forged out of a long since dead star and which now lies at the heart
of a black hole. This, as fascinating and compelling as it may be,
doesn't help you sort out your life and the problems which you
perceive yourself being faced with right at this moment in any
meaningful way. I am giving you these messages so that you can make
real changes to your life. Real, practical, everyday changes
which move you firmly and irreversibly towards a different, more
fulfilled and more enjoyable way of being.
Here's the tricky part.
I have to get past your guardian in order to do this. Visions
of a muscular sentry may come to mind as you read those words but in
truth I am eluding to something much more powerful and domineering.
And this is …... your mind. It's the moat around your castle
which, if you were to drain it of water, would absolutely stagger you
as to what was piled up in the gloomy and unbelievably copious depths
of this circular pit. You just wouldn't credit what it has been
keeping from you; or keeping you from.
Let's just try
something here to illustrate my point. If I were to state that this
message was written for you and that you are the only one reading it
right now, then what would your mind tell you?
You see, first of all
I'm not saying “how do you feel about this statement”, I'm asking
what your mind, which stands at the forefront of your consciousness,
the guardian of your experience, wants you to hear; wants you to
believe (it's a real bully!). Because that's what happened when you
read my words. Your mind went leaping into action so as to rummage
back through countless past experiences, and its concept of the world
which you inhabit, so as to come to a decision about my assertion. In
all likelihood it will have told you that my statement either isn't
true or that at the very least its highly suspect and untrustworthy.
This is simply a
process of energy interactions the like of which you manipulate every
moment of your waking hours and which constitutes the way in which
your life unfolds as a result. This is precisely what we must address
so as to move you up into a different level of awareness – if
you're willing of course. It's your choice. (I'm addressing you
here – and not your mind)
Now, let's go back to
my statement again. You are the only one reading these words and my
message was written for you. See if your appreciation of this energy
dynamic can bend a little so as to truly take on board the notion
that words are literally energy. What I have written here, and then
through the process of you reading my words, is the literal unfolding
of an energy exchange between you and I. It can be no other way and
it's extremely personal. The energy potential contained with my words
on this page is now interacting with your own unique energy where the
consequence of this interaction is also unique. In the context of
space and time, you are the only one experiencing our energy
relationship right at this very moment. The next word, phrase or
sentence that you read will not be read by anyone else in the
Universe at the same point in time; just you! What you are reading
now, right this moment, this instant, is unique to you; as is
how you are responding to it.
The difficulty in
thinking this way is that your mind cannot conceive of 'now'.
There is no concept of the present moment in your mental processes
where only the past and the future exist; but, in truth, these are
purely mental concepts which are simply phantoms of the mind. If you
find difficulty in appreciating this then trying telling me where
yesterday is. The only evidence of its existence will be in some form
of writing or printed images which actually exist in the now.
Your mind looks at the 'now' images and words while processing the
energy from them into a concept of a time that has passed. Can you
see how difficult it is to sidestep this way of viewing life and how
much it plays a part in your everyday existence.
Having read these
words, your mind will come rushing forward in a determined attempt to
assure you that it does indeed understand the difference between
past/present and now. But this totally superficial response is only
paying lip service to a state of being that it's unable to achieve or
conceive of while constantly trapping you in the past/future energy
quicksand of addressing your current problems. This has to
change. You cannot rely on something so insubstantial any more. There
must be more freedom to explore new concepts and feelings while
bringing the energy of love into the equation.
We ( you and I ), have
put some effort into extracting that nail from your shoe so that you
can finally stop walking around in circles. In so doing, however, you
will need to give up your comfort zone while trusting to a part of
your inner self which you have rarely sought advice and guidance
from. This is the true change that we need.
I can sit here writing
to you until we both grow old and grey while explaining every
metaphysical principal and law of the Universe which, if you don't
apply them or even understand them or their value to you, won't make
an iota of difference to your life. Many people offer you this
wisdom, with the very best of intentions, but until those words
create a fundamental shift in your perceptional energy then it's of
no use.
Here is something else
for you to consider while in this particular energy vibration of
contemplating the 'now'.
Right at this very instant, right now, this second, this one;
no, this one ( not the one that's just gone by ) this one right now,
tell me - what's wrong with your life? Answer this without allowing
your mind to offer you its opinion. Don't think about a reply.
Sit where you are while becoming fully aware of this now
moment. This point in space and time where you find yourself. Right
now – tell me, what's wrong with your life? Be honest.
When you take out of
the equation the factor of anticipating the future while attempting
to construct its idealized state, then what's wrong with how you are
right now? Are you okay? Do you have enough money for your immediate
needs like feeding yourself and having a roof over your head while
keeping healthy? What would you change about this moment right 'now'
so as to increase your happiness quotient/raise your vibrational
energy?
Once again your mind
will attempt to flood your head with countless images of all the
things which you could do or obtain so as to spark up your life. Wow,
if only I could win the lottery then all my problems would be solved
– could be one thought which springs immediately to mind. But, with
several more zeros attached to your bank balance then try to feel how
much difference it would make to your life right now if this
was the case. Imagine all that money in the bank and then feel
how it would change your attitude towards life.
Your mind wants to
convince you that it's necessary to have this money in 'actual fact'
( in its concept of reality ) in order that you can feel this new way
- but this simply isn't true. You are in total command of your
feelings and how you allow them to influence your perception of your
world. You can change your energy whenever you have a mind to, but
you choose not to. How you perceive your life to be right at this
instant is within your power to change. Shifting your perspective is
easy – but scary on a mental level. So lets delve deeper into this
new pathway which you are considering treading.
Just visualize this for
a moment. After you having finished reading this message, you hop
into your car and set off along the route into town. You take a left
at the junction while thinking about whether or not to call the bank
and then stop at the traffic lights after having decided to look for
a different job. You head off towards the mall and stop at the
drive-through so as to grab a bite to eat. You pull back out onto the
highway and take the junction past the park where you ride the
elevated section as thoughts of what you're going to say to your
partner, if they bring up the subject of your latest argument again,
drift through your mind. Taking a left at the next junction, and then
following the road past the river, you take another left and pull up
at your front door.
You stop for a moment
and stare at the property in front of you and wonder what the heck
you're doing back home. You shake your head and drive off again. You
take a left at the junction while thinking about whether or not to
call the bank and then stop at the traffic lights after having
decided to look for a different job. You head off towards the mall
and stop at the drive-through so as to grab a bite to eat. You pull
back out onto the highway and take the........wait! You say, I just
did all that and I ended up back home. If I want to go somewhere else
then I have to change my thinking and my visualization of my world so
as to achieve something different. It's quite evident in this
situation that a change of thinking must happen but for some reason
it's not obvious when it comes to your way of looking at your world
and your life. You have to go beyond the place where you are stuck,
but this requires stepping outside of your self imposed limitations.
So let's do just
that. Here is another scenario which temporarily takes you to another
level of consciousness. She how it feels for you.
You walk out of the
place where you live only to find that there is a man waiting for you
and he is standing by a kind of odd looking SUV. On the side it's got
a logo saying OFCOURSEWECAN MUNICIPAL TAXI SERVICE *-> Our
Joy is Your Happiness ->*
You don't remember
booking a ride, and certainly not from a company with that name, but
it's been a long week and you could use a break; and anyway the guy
looks quite friendly, smart and capable. He's smiling too and that
brightens up your day into the bargain. You hop in and he heads off
while driving straight through a rift in the space/time continuum,
which you hadn't realized was there at the end of your block and must
remember to contact your local representative about as soon as you
get back, and then you appear in a slightly different world. It looks
pretty much the same as the one you normally interact with but this
one has an increasingly noticeable difference.
Traveling along your
usual route to work, you notice that things are strangely quiet.
There are no wailing police sirens or ambulance sirens where even
fire trucks aren't screeching past you or coming up behind you while
creating chaos in the traffic. Neither are there any open top or open
windowed cars that are blasting out loud, pulsing music to its
industrially deaf occupants. All the while the chatty driver has been
telling you about his life over the last couple of days, like you are
actually a member of his family who he wants to share his happiness
with. The weather isn't that great, as usual, but somehow it doesn't
seem to matter as what you're experiencing somehow gives you the
impression that the sun is shining brightly down through a cloudless
sky. It feels really nice and certainly something which you could
quite easily get used to very quickly.
Can you imagine it? Are
you in that vehicle with that friendly driver and experiencing the
world in that way? Okay, let's go a little farther.
You pass many recognizable landmarks and even see some of your favorite places
which you'd like to visit whenever the opportunity comes around
again. Then you go past the spot where very often you see a police
car parked up. Then you expect to see the local government building
which turns out to be an art gallery. Suddenly you feel
uncomfortable. Not so much because the location of the building may
have changed, in this increasingly unfamiliar place, but the resonant
energy of your mind wants to (needs to) be reassured of a presence.
You ask the driver
where the local government building has moved to and he flips your
mind into a state of panic by responding that he doesn't understand
what you mean by the word 'government'. You are totally unprepared
for this as it's incomprehensible to you that anyone could not know
of this word or actually be without its presence in their society. It
soon becomes apparent that he's not only never heard of the term
government but has no idea of the concept either. And yet, here you
are in the midst of a fully fledged, functional society with no one
apparently at the helm. This is totally bewildering but, to the happy
citizens who inhabit OFCOURSEWECAN, then it's the most natural
thing in the world to them. They just see things in a different way
to you.
Just by way of a little
background information here, it may be interesting to note that
OFCOURSEWECAN has now moved away from, and out of the
influence of, its long term neighbor OMGWE'RESCREWED - which
has changed course to rendezvous with APATHYISUS as it seems
more attractive to them. Both planets have a similar breed of
inhabitants who all seem to own fast food outlets, soft furnishing
companies, giant plasma TV manufacturing plants or liquor/drug
stores. They elect obscure people to govern them who don't know when
to shut up, look cute and have no idea who voted for them but make
every hollow promise they can think of before disappearing into the
highly secretive world of Polly Ticks - who evidently is very wise
and all knowing. They trust her without question and accept
everything she says while not wanting to upset the status quo of
their cozy lifestyle. The citizens of OFCOUREWECAN eventually
discovered that, no matter how hard they tried, they just couldn't
communicate with either planet as they had no way to translate the
languages.
The common
consciousness of OFCOURSEWECAN has always been one of - Why
would we want anyone telling us what to do when we are quite capable
of making our own beneficial choices and decisions? Not one of them
could, or would, even want to contemplate being subject to the rules,
regulations and commands of others. Those who don't even know them
while having to live out their lives according to the directions and
whims of strangers who would force them to accept some mysterious
'greater wisdom' and 'far-sightedness' which they had somehow been
magically gifted with.
You, in contrast,
cannot imagine how they live through not accepting this, but
right in front of you, and all around you, is proof that it's not
only possible but that it exists. The smiling driver asks if you
would like to stay but your mind immediately jumps in to give you a
huge list of reasons why this is totally out of the question. No! You
have to get back to your world, where everything is familiar, so that
you can function – normally (???). Even though it means going back
to your apparently insoluble problems, it's actually preferable to
being asked to change your thinking so as to fit in with a new energy
paradigm; a different energy structure, a new appreciation.
So, the driver takes
you back ( still smiling and chatting to you like a long lost
relative ). You hop in your car, have the same thoughts, take the
same route and end up back at your home again while wondering why
life isn't working out for you.
Is this giving you a
glimpse into where we're heading and if so, how do you feel
about it?
This is the ride in
front of you so it's maybe a good time to review its relative merits
in terms of what we've said here and my previous messages. Does it
feel right to you to do this? You have to 'feel' it if it's
going to be of any benefit to you. Your 'guardian' sure as hell
doesn't want you to go that way, while impatiently drumming its
fingers as it waits for you to finish this message before scraping
all these words into the moat; where they will hopefully stay
undisturbed forever. Will you choose to keep this from happening. I
sincerely hope so.
Sometime, somewhere,
somehow you're going to have to let down the drawbridge and move out
of the fortress if you're to stand any chance of experiencing a
different energy and awareness perspective. You've been stuck where
you are for a very long time so it's only natural to have
reservations. But just remember the citizens of OFCOURSEWECAN
who consider their way of life as being quite natural. Your mind is
telling you firmly that this is simply pure fantasy but I ask you –
the real you – to feel how it would be to live in a world
such as theirs. Can you?
Here's something else
which may appear somewhat scary. This a quote from spiritual wisdom –
It is not possible to imagine something which, at some place in
the Universe, does not exist. Just consider that for a moment.
Whatever humankind dreams up then somewhere in the Universe it exists
– how could it not? It's only energy after all. Just because your
mind doesn't accept it, and insists on convincing you that it's
simply a phantom, doesn't make it so. Your mind believes that
yesterday and tomorrow 'exists' so what does that tell you?
To be a part of a world
like OFCOURSEWECAN you would have to see life differently
where you naturally accepted the principals of existing in a higher
vibrational state by choosing to underpin every decision with the
energy of love. This is the journey you are making now whether you
are prepared for it or not. The Universe can lower the drawbridge for
you but if you choose to stay huddled up in the unenlightened shadows
behind the high, stone walls of your castle then there's nothing that
anyone can do about it. You must be the one to make the choice as far
as taking the first steps are concerned.
All I am intending to
do with my messages for you is to influence your energy which you can
then choose to allow to rise in its vibrational quality or not. It's
up to you. If your present energy construct feels more comfortably
familiar, and life is working out satisfactorily for you, then that's
fine; it's your choice where I do not judge you for exercising your
preference. You must live with the consequences of your choices
whatever they may be. My only reiteration at this point would be to
re-quote that if you want to see change then it will not come about
if you keep doing the same thing - thinking the same way or using
your energy in the same way. You must change this if you want
to change your life.
Let's take a moment to
consider something which may help you. Below I have listed the scale
of human emotions as they correspond to their energy of vibration.
You may have come across this before. Imagine, if you will that each
of the items in the listing is assigned to the white notes of a piano
keyboard; the bottom-most entry is inscribed on the lowest note and
the topmost on the highest key. When love is present then the top key
is being played and when fear is the experienced emotion then the
bottom or lowest key is being played.
Joy/Appreciation/Empowered/Freedom/Love
Passion
Enthusiasm/Eagerness/Happiness
Positive
Expectation/Trust
Optimism
Hopefulness
Contentment
Boredom
Pessimism
Frustration/Irritation/Impatience
Overwhelment
Disappointment
Doubt
Worry
Blame
Discouragement
Anger
Revenge
Hatred/Rage
Jealousy
Insecurity/Guilt/Unworthiness
Fear/Grief/Depression/Despair/Powerlessness
In any one day can you
get a feel for how many times you move around on this particular
keyboard while your energy changed from one vibrational level to
another. If those notes were to have been played then what would it
have sounded like? Can you appreciate from this graphic illustration
of your emotional energy how far you have to move from, say –
'Worry' - so as to get to - 'Optimism'? We're talking about
sustainable states here and not transient excursions up and down.
Hear the notes between the two points that I've highlighted and, in
so doing, get a sense of how far apart they are. Remember also that
it takes a lot of energy to cause the swing from one to another.
If this proves to be
tricky for you then visualize plucking the note on a guitar and then
putting into a big freezer. How long do you consider that it would
take for the note to slow down and die away to nothing while the
whole thing turned to a block of ice? Then, how long would it take to
warm up and come back again? Changing your fundamental vibrational
energy is similar. It takes a little time but given the warmth and
encouragement of heartfelt love, as I am doing for you now, then it
will happen.
Now let's move to a
practical appreciation which you can apply to your life. We need to
start building on what you have become aware of so that you can
firstly bring it fully in to your awareness and then start using it.
To head up the scale from Fear to Love looks like a hell of a climb
but it's one that is well within your capability to do so. Remember,
you started this journey in the vibration of love so there's no
reason that you can't get back to it once gain, You simply have to
trust your intuition to guide you while always being conscious to
make your choices from the perspective of unconditional love. Then
you need to make a habit out of it. I will help with this if you
choose to follow my guidance.
I really am hoping to
have stimulated a positive feeling in you at this point. I appreciate
that this is a lot to take in but again I want to reassure you that
you are more than capable of doing it. There is nothing that you
cannot do if you really feel the limitless possibilities of potential
which lie untapped within you. Always remember how powerful you are
and never let anyone convince you otherwise.
So, you're having a bad
day and it's been tricky to cope with it up to the point which you
find yourself at, where something needs to be done about it. You have
the need to feel better. What are your choices?
Pour yourself a drink?
Roll a joint? Open up a pint of ice cream and not think about leaving
any? How does this help? After all, they are only other forms of
energy. The answer is that they are temporary and don't help at all.
Take alcohol. It's akin
to what you use to propel your car with – so it's a useful analogy.
They are both volatile substances which provide fuel, or energy, for
you to use as you choose to. Alcohol in your body fires up your
system and makes you feel better until it wears off, just as your car
would run out of gas. Then you have to get more.
As we saw in my
previous message, your car is an energetic capsule which you
incorporate yourself into so as to command it to move you through
space and time – by making choices. You put fuel into yourself in
order to raise your vibration while making choices about what to do
with it along the way. Your car moves you through space and time
whereas the alcohol moves you up the scale of emotional vibration
until you get to where you hoped it would take you – and maybe even
beyond. You get out of your energy capsule after arriving at your
destination in the same way as you exit your alcohol capsule while
having traveled through an emotional landscape on the way. Both
experiences leave you in the same energetic paradigm as which you
entered it. Nothing has changed apart from the fact that you've added
another experience to your circular journey which ended up bringing
you back to your front door. You just went around in another circle
and used up a bit more fuel (energy). All of this time your
'thoughts' were in charge while heavily influencing your choices.
Its easy to appreciate
that your vehicle has no impact or lasting affect on your mood in
that you take little notice of it. Because the effects of alcohol or
drugs are more tangible, then you do notice them but there isn't any
difference as regards the lasting impact on you. Drinking appears to
lift you up but because you're not doing the lifting by virtue of
your own will, then your ability to influence your own emotional
vibrations is not enhanced. One the occasions when you feel awful,
and at the lower end of your emotional scale, where a drink seems to
be a realistic ( and easy ) choice, you only end up back at the same
'key' when the energy runs out. If you want to change this then you
have to focus on changing the energy yourself. Then it will become
permanent and you will leave all the lower 'notes' behind you.
Okay, so I hear you
say, yes but how does this work in what I know and experience to be
real life? How do I
get through my day when I need a drink to do it? This is a real-life
problem for me and one I have to face every day when I'm not reading
your words and having to cope with life on my own. How do I do it?
Where does love come in to all this? I don't get it. My mind won't
let me see it so I don't feel that it's worthwhile even trying.
This is the classic
trap and one which we have to be very sneaky, and very determined, to
combat. Here's the plan.
Take a look back at the
emotional scale which I introduced you to earlier on. Go through each
one of the states and then feel what you are in harmony with
when it comes to how you experience your life at this point on your
journey. Don't choose how you feel right now but what, in general,
sums up your attitude to life when you consider your underlying mood.
You need to be honest about this as there is no point in fooling
yourself or letting ego creep in to influence your choice. It's of no
benefit in moving you forward.
Just sit with the list
and allow yourself to review your recent journey. Which emotional
energy vibration do you really feel expresses how you approach life
on a day-to-day basis. This is something which you may need to come
back to but when you have a sense of where you are then make a note
of it.
Okay, good. So here's
what I am suggesting that you put into practice from the moment that
you finish reading this message. Having memorized the image of the
piano scale while appreciating the various states of emotions which
correspond to them, make it a point from now on to wait at least two
or three minutes before acting on any emotional change which you are
conscious of. Get into the habit of sensing the change in your
emotional state and then visualizing the piano scale. While doing
this, then allow yourself to realize how far down you've moved and
what it will take to get you back up.
If you drop down into
anger, fear or depression then give yourself chance to recover before
reaching for the energetic crutches of modern society. If you have
to, then you have to, but at least you'll have the awareness that
soon you will be able to manage without them. Also, whenever you feel
anger or the emotions of negativity then see how long you can hold
off choosing to respond in a like manner while digging deep into your
sensitive heart as you work out if it's at all possible for you to
apply just a little bit of love to the situation. That may come
simply in the form of choosing not to bite someone's head off. You'll
be amazed at what kind of change this can bring about while also
moving you back up the scale.
Through choosing not to
react adversely to a bad situation then you are actually choosing to
apply the energy of love to your emotional body in the same way as
you put the gas into your car. Through doing so you will have
affected your energetic state without the need for any synthetic
substitute. You may well feel the need for a drink after doing this
but primarily you will have been responsible for altering your
emotional energy and this will greatly benefit you. Simply treating
the drink as a reward will be a kind of halfway-house measure as long
as you appreciate that it has played no useful part in addressing the
situation which you found yourself in and then choosing to raise your
vibration by acting out of love.
This is where we begin.
This is where we implant the first substantial footprint into the
undulating and uncharted sands of your desert pathway and on towards
the oasis. You will have begun a new and exciting journey into a
world which at present you have no concept of within the confused and
convoluted limitations of your frantic mind. This aspect of yourself
you must tame as it has got far too far out of control.
To quote Einstein –
The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and
over again while expecting a different result. We agree. We are now
in the incipient stages of anticipating different results. The
adventure has begun!
YOU CAN DO IT. TRUST
YOURSELF.
Next time we'll look
further into how this new way of applying the necessary changes to
your energy as well as adjusting your perceptions. In the meantime I
would like you to imagine me there with you encouraging you on as
often as you can. I have faith in you – how do you feel?
With love and light as
always
Mary
NEVER FORGET HOW
TRULY SPECIAL YOU ARE - YOU ARE UNIQUE - YOU ARE WONDERFUL - YOU ARE
PERFECT JUST AS YOU ARE AND YOU ARE POWERFUL
