Expect Wonderful by Meredith Murphy

Energy Update: Spaciousness and a Loss of Identity

A lot of us, it seems are feeling quite different.  I have received notes from people telling me things seem brighter.  A good friend of mine on Facebook shared that when she was meditating (coincidentally, on July 7…more on that later) that she tuned in and everything was empty.  Now lots of us are feeling a huge passage taking place, and the intensity of things is seemingly much greater than before. 

I was talking with Shanta Gabriel today and we realized both of us are receiving emails from people expressing how “lost” they feel.  The emails I receive about this are from people who are typically quite grounded and definitely conscious about what is happening. 

So what IS happening?

We entered June expecting a powerhouse of energies, and the progression of the Eclipses and the Solstice, definitely delivered. 

What we had not bargained for is what that was paving the way for and what happened next…

As some of you know, I was guided to move to an area north of downtown Los Angeles in late May.  I was told this was to stabilize the San Andreas fault.  Of course I wasn’t told this before hand…I just thought this was my new home!  After I got there, and things got increasingly difficult energetically there—my cat howling, my dog unable to sleep at night, my neighbors yelling and my seemingly schizophrenic neighbor going off at all hours of the day and night, then I was informed.  !!  That I was here to stabilize the fault line, that I had brought in a Michael grid and that I was protected, but that it would be intense.  That once it was over I would know to leave and where to go…and so there I was in mid-June, not sleeping, feeling incredibly intense physical sensations of this discordant, disturbing energy in the fault line and not sure how long it would last. 

Welcome to a life of faith, Meredith. (!!)

Ending of the 4th World Hologram

With the last eclipse on July 1, Archangel Michael shared with us that it would be 5 days integrating this eclipse.  Without realizing the day/date, on midnight literally, July 5, I showed up at a friend’s house with my dog asking to leave him there that night—that I could no longer put him through the energy in this new house.  Two days later, in the wee dawn hours of July 7^th, I myself got up and thought, “That’s it.  I’m outta here.”  I packed up my cats, the litter box and their food and my pillow and went to my friend’s house.  I woke him up, announced I was here to stay and went to sleep.

Later that day I woke up and still that day didn’t feel too much better.  It felt like an extremely intense day.  The next morning I read a transmission from Judith Moore (www.recordsofcreation.com), a treasured member of my soul family, which spoke to the Mother Gaia now placing all her energy in the New Earth hologram.  Judith shared that she had tuned into the old Earth hologram on July 7 and it was empty. (Remember my friend's Facebook post the same day?) The energy had been withdrawn from the hologram.  In my experience this is the ending of the 4^th World hologram.  The dissolution of this will continue, but the energetics of Mother Gaia are now entirely placed within the 5^th World hologram and we have crossed over into this new world, almost without noticing.

Kind of a big deal.

I shared this with the Legion of Michael during our monthly call and we had a powerful and amazing experience.  The more we allowed ourselves to perceive and REAL-ize this, the more we amplified the harmonics of the New Hologram and moved into alignment with this.  So a lot of acceleration began to happen and many people--knowing or not knowing began to talk about this, and the word acceleration kept popping up.

The following week I was in Mt. Shasta, feeling inexplicably drawn back.  I thought I was there to find a house, but instead all kinds of energetic things took place.  I had a etheric visit within the City of Light in Mt. Shasta.  Archangel Michael and Saint Germain guided me and I received great infusions of light, love and clarity guiding me and my life as well as the bliss of this communion.

Shambhala Portal and Grid Established; Birth of Mother Shambhala

Then I participated in a powerful gathering, hosted by Judith, filled with amazing and experienced light bearers...an amazing group of people who all carry ascension DNA and felt we had to be at this gathering:

"Individuals were called to share this common vision. Each person was a mature light worker, healer and visionary. They all felt called and were highly supported by the guides and masters. The vision was to co-create through the space of harmonious community the shared energy that when focused with the portal keepers in Telos,and the Light Ships of the Star Family would open a multidimensional Shambala Portal to release Manna into the world grid. This portal was opened with the use of Light and Sound Harmonics." - Judith Moore

We experienced an opening and the flow and presence of the Sophia energies, and after the portal opening, those who could stay participated in grounding a New Earth Grid/Portal system in the Shasta valley, supported by our families of Light. 

During the Saturday of that event, we experienced HUGE powerful birthing energies.  I personally, along with 4 other people had highly visible energetic responses to this experience.  It was the most profound energy experience I have ever had and yet I was not afraid.  Just consumed by it.  My first thought once I grounded a bit—full grounding only happened yesterday—was that, “I don’t know who I am anymore.”  I was re-born—and not in the fundamentalist Christian way…but in a way I am still understanding.

I feel now that what was happening was the Mother Shambhala energies moved through me since I was willing.   I know I have been altered; I will never be the same.  I have lived many lives within this one life, but nothing on the scale of total transformation as this. It was a hugely powerful and mystical experience that continued in the days following. 

Prophecy Fulfilled

Then on the 24th of July, I transmitted the message, the 5^th World Prophecy is Fulfilled, which spoke further to all of this.  I was honored and awed to receive and transmit this message/energetic, as well as open a conduit for this energy to enter our planet...and I began to understand further what was taking place.

I received within a few hours, more emails than I ever get x10, from people sharing, “I know this,” “I sensed this and love hearing it,” “I totally resonate with this…”  It is so beautiful and heart-warming that many ARE sensing and perceiving the newness. 

But not everyone. 

Like most births, this one was quiet and beautiful and those present and aware are in AWE of it.  Those unaware are going on with life as usual, yet without knowing why, many are experiencing the changes in varying ways.  Those energetically tuned in but unaware were feeling it or aspects of it, perhaps without knowing why.

Ready for a laugh?

The hoot of all this is many of us thought we had to be perfect to ascend.  Despite all the messages telling us that we're entirely lovable now, how many of us REALLY thought that?  Guess what?  We are.  and now?  HERE we are.  We are on/in/experiencing the New Earth right now.  It happened.  Our ability to participate fully will unfold as we resolve the remaining duality within ourselves.  No wonder we feel a sense of spaciousness and a loss of identity. 

And what a huge cosmic love-hug, to see our benevolent Universe affirm our infinite new beginnings.  Meaning: we never get it done, this evolution and expression, this movement toward wholeness and light.  It’s eternal.  We’re eternal.  And even if we don’t know how to love ourselves fully yet—here we are, on the beautiful new earth—all of us together (the families of light and those physically present in all kingdoms) have supported Mother Gaia in birthing the New Earth and the New Earth Consciousness of Mother Shambhala. 

1,000 Years of Peace

And so we begin, what in prophecy has been called, the “1,000 Years of Peace.”  Is it 1,000 years?  I don't know.  I don't know if this is a metaphor or literal...but it's where we are: at the beginning, the dawn of this new amazing phase.

So the parts of us connected to the Old Earth hologram are experiencing enormously difficult dissolving energies.  Some are feeling physical pain even that is quite intense.  The duality in us, is now out of sync with our Earth.  In the past the Light Bearers were in a dense world and feeling how out of sync we were with things.  Now it's the light in us that is AT HOME, and all that remains of the old is what’s out of place.  So a huge quantum leap has occurred and your physical body, your emotional body, your mental body—all of your energies—are feeling this even if you don’t know why/what it is.

Even understanding what took place it took a long time for me to get grounded and for clarity to emerge...and it's STILL emerging. 

In addition, the WAY we are going to live now is also different so even though I feel more grounded, I’m awkward!  There is a quickening to manifestation that is actually confusing.  I ask to know things and then everything changes and then I feel a bit shaky as I try to keep up with my own leading edge and the HUGE amount of change I’m invited to allow as I come into alignment with and catch up with ME.

I received a second message, "Orienting to the 5th World of Peace," which begins to give us a sense of relating our sparkling newness which is burning off the old...!  And we will discover and create what is here and available and delightful and joyful and fun and perfect...together!

I offer some of my story of this time, as a way of sharing how I am seeing things, feeling things and being.  May it be of some benefit in giving you heart, joy, a sense of accomplishment, comfort, courage, delight, and most of all a profoundly awed sense of your own amazing participation in this INCREDIBLE THING WE’RE DOING/BEING!!

May it also encourage you to realize: our capacity to embrace all that has occured and to understand it has changed! And is growing.  This enlarged capacity supports and sustains the New World!

I came here, as we many many many have, to participate in the birth and creation of the New Paradigm.  And at last my purpose and life, have met.  Perhaps you too feel this way?  And with this I have to smile at my challenging moments: did I really think this would happen without HUGE parts of me feeling entirely different and as different, unfamiliar?  And thus this sense of disorientation so many have...at so many times in this unfolding!

KNOW

The Wholeness that became available on 10:10:10--the infinite eternal creation, is now fulfilled. 

As your read this you are affecting the nature of reality and the nature of what may be perceived in reality!  You are creating new possibilities for collective understanding and awareness.  In doing this you are living in the harmonics, the time frequency the vibration of the New Paradigm, the New Reality, the 5th World of Peace.

This experience is awesome.  Pure and awesome.

So I encourage you to feel okay about a sense of disorientation and allow you own newness to be what it is--which might feel startling and at times even scary, or overwhelming. 

In these moments I encourage you, I remind you my friend, to simply call forth the wisdom within you, to soothe yourself and to connect with other members of your Family of Light. 

Then wait...for what I notice emerges, as clarity returns and the experiences integrate and ground, is ENORMOUS excitement, strength and an incredible force of energy aligned with purpose.

Human consciousness and Cosmic Consciousness are in harmony in this vibration and the capacity for Oneness available now is exponentially expanded, intensified and accelerated.

I LOVE being here, now. 

Never have those words carried more meaning.

As Archangel Michael reminds me, Party-Time!  Woo-hoo.

NEW game on.

 

How to be alone...Solitude.

I so appreciate this...

"Perhaps in the interest of loving oneself...It's okay if no one believes like you. All experience is unique, no one has the same synapses, can't think like you, for this be releived, keeps things interesting lifes magic things in reach."

I AM Alive!

Together we are initiated.

We become oriented to this present-day epoch, the fall of global civilization as it was known and the RE-awakening of a brand new form of consciousness...

The Earth is going through tumultuous changes; as are we. We are moved to take care of life, not things. To trust our feeling center and let spirit guide us to a our new home (literally or metaphorically)...

As we learn to trust that the Earth is working WITH us, that we can follow and be led by the Earth, we learn to trust ourselves. Herein is our relief: trusting ourselves. Trusting the Earth. Participating in this auspicious time and this amazing, albeit challenging, rite of passage.

We also find relief in community and as we live closer to the land, breathe fresh air and feel alive. We discover deeper laughter and relationship together; and a greater value flows into each moment of life. Communities which can meld thoughtforms, making dreams and visions together leverage the great power of interacting as a group.

It is essential that you value yourself on this journey, that you trust your contribution and know it is needed and vital.

Initiation is a passage through which you learn to trust, let go and change.

The initiation is to get on with something vast, multidimensional, unknown...and to master it.

Imagine yourself under an open sky. Be uplifted. Be yourselves.

Soar and Receive

This video was sent to me as a gift, and it made my heart soar!  I share it with you now, and invite you to feel the bliss of sacred spirit within and around YOU...

I send to you, through this experience, a beautiful blessing of LOVE.

Remember. We Are Here.

The invitation here is to broadcast our codes and allow for others to be activated by them.  To facilitate this, I invite you to watch/listen this video (preferrably on headphones) and then to write here comments which share all that you know and remember about yourselves. Together let's begin to step out and share what we experience and remember and dare to be our largest understood sense of self. With love ♥

Awakening to Our Own Multidimensionality

My friends,

I write to you today feeling courageous and filled with love.  The Earth continues on her beautiful ascending arc toward fifth dimensional orientation, and the reunion with her original aspirations and function within the higher realms of love and light and information.

I join her in the ascending process and as such bits and pieces of my own higher self emerge.  This is our journey and as more love and light come into our being/body as information, we become empowered and our understandings of things enlarge.  Even the past is re-made and re-understand, also to be thought of as RE-ASSEMBLED! {Smile!}  Meaning the re-emergence of things, or the manifestation and comprehension of new things by a recombination of existing components but seen from a different perspective: emergent forms!

Each of us has had moments of this kind of remembering and as we continue on our path of spiritual awakening, we will begin to look at this moments of accessing our own multi-dimensional experience with more clarity.  We will recognize that things which we have at times "dreamed" or "imagined" when we slipped into an alternate focus for a minute or two, were instead glimpses of our own multiple selves in alternate or parallel dimensions, with which we are always connected and yet increasingly we will become aware of these other perspectives which are also us, and we will begin to live knowingly from an expanded understanding of ourselves.

This week I channeled a message which explicitly speaks to one of my other focal points: Naeshira.  This particular lineage is within the Pleiadian family and also blends with my focal points of experience which participate in the Family of Light.  In "Bringers of the Dawn," the Pleiadians through Barbara Marciniak tell us: 

"The Family of Light comes from a particular kingdom of consciousness.  Many kingdoms of consciousness exist.  Kingdoms of consciousness are fancy words for a concept that we would like you to grasp.  Within the kingdoms of consciousness there is a likeness of energy, and there are many kinds of kingdoms of consciousness."

As we begin to remember our other lifetimes--as some have discovered by past life regression for example and then their own being resonates to this and they know perhaps that it is, or some of it is, accurate--we begin to operate from a higher frequency and to understand the bigger picture of existence and our experience from within our human vessel at this focal point reading this message!  How amazing and astonishing, how mysterious and expansive life is.  We can only begin to glimpse and appreciate all of this.

And yet, this is NOT nothing!  Glimpses of things are a beginning to expanded understanding.  As our frequency rises, as we encounter light coming into our experience and it increasingly finds within our bodies a means of anchoring, our human bodies change.  As a result of increased light = information, we feel more empowered and we can live and focus our energy and our thoughtforms with a larger understanding and perspective.

I do not understand all of my multi-dimensional relationship with Ashira.  I do not even understand the implications of what I do know to be true.  Similar to when I channel a message from the Archangel Michael--I know when it resonates that I have transmitted accurately the energy he wishes to transmit.  I know too when I have not done this and I have a sense of it not being "right" and I ask for clarification until I know--that inner knowing we all have--that I've done so properly.  Even knowing this, I cannot begin to understand the quantum level of communication that takes place when this messages connects with a reader.  The energy in the message knows who is reading and the transmission is unique to who reads the message.  This is far beyond my control and yet I can be an accurate translator and trust in this.  Again, how beautiful and mysterious.

We are called increasingly into inner knowing.  To cultivate and with courage explore ourselves and trust what we know. 

My experience is not alone.  I am sure there are others who sense and know some of their multidimensional self--in glimpses or in whole big pieces--and this will continue to happen in our world as our frequency as a planet and individuals rises.

I share this with you today to open the doorway to this with honestly and awe.  I am a human being.  From a more expansive view, I am a spiritual being having a human experience.  From an even more expansive view, I am Naeshira born into a human body to participate in the Earth's aspiration to ascend as a member of the Pleiadian Family of Light.  I am also a channel for the Archangel Michael with whom I have worked many times, in many forms. 

We each have multiple story lines like this.  Begin to claim your own.  Begin to know yourself as more than this point of focus.  You influence universes moment to moment and the awakening to these multiple avenues of creativity and experience are becoming more known in our awareness on this amazing ride on the ascending energy arc!

As we embrace more and more of ourselves we begin to truly know our divinity.  I am sure these ideas are heretical to some.  But I know them to be true.

Have courage and remember there is much within the nonphysical realms to assist you and that each of us has our own blueprint and plan to evolve into.  And together we are part of a global blueprint and global consciousness.  As we each live our function, our very energy and vibration will trigger and awaken that blueprint in others.

As we claim our inner knowing we empower others.  We make new pathways as we begin to broadcast who we are.  We awaken in waves, so that there is order and harmony.  We are being invited to stretch.  What you do with this invitation is up to you.  But as I said in my earlier message, when I shared that "I am a bringer of the dawn..."  I AM ALL IN. :)

Love and Light to you,

Meredith

First Person: Claudia Grace Coniglio

Each month, as an extension of our monthly email,  "News from the Ideafrontier" one individual will be invited to share their own journey and how they experienced the call to awakening; a close up and personal perspective on the ascension experience.  Each person will respond to the same standard list of questions and we'll have the honor of  one up-close and personal perspective.

For our feature in April of  2010, I'm pleased to introduce you to one love-filled, blissed-out, generous human being : Claudia Grace Coniglio.  Enjoy!

 

1)    Name, and a sentence or two about you.

I answer to a lot of things, but Claudia Coniglio tends to be the most common.  I am blessed enough to have been a quasi-SAHM for my 2 crystal boys.  I’m a writer by passion (never gotten paid for it, yet), a Reiki Master and a love spreader.  

I intuitively feel that there is no greater strength in the universe than a pure heart.  And by pure I mean… a heart that lives its dream.  A heart that allows other hearts to live their dream, as well.  So I guess that makes me a dreamer, too.   My mission on this planet is to spread as much love as my heart can stand.  Because I know that my heart is your heart, too.  So we both win.  I want to help people grasp that.  Help people feel  the bliss that comes with allowing.  Seems to me it’s a path to unconditional love.  Here’s a little bit about how I got here…

2)    What got this whole process of spiritual awakening going for you?  When did you realize you were having a spiritual awakening?

I suppose if you are a fan of labels you could call me an Indigo.  So I was pretty much born awake, but between my parents, society and everything else in our 3D system that does everything it can to keep us from remembering who we are, I stayed asleep for a long time.  I understand now that it all had to happen in that exact way for it to get me to here, but, as with anything difficult, sometimes it just wasn’t fun while going through it, y’know? 

Despite both calling themselves Catholics, my parents were rather New Age-y.  Mom was a seer (she dreamed the future) and my father was heavy into astrology.  I was surrounded with things that most people considered “gypsy” my whole life.  Mom’s psychic ability really freaked people out, especially my father.  So I watched as she began doing anything she could to stop herself from seeing.  Until she died she slept with the TV blaring to stop the dreams. 

Clearly I knew, though perhaps not in the best matter, that there was much more happening in life than what we could see/touch/taste/smell.

My first inkling that something major spiritually was happening occurred in February 1996.  I never really paid much attention before.  I was in inpatient treatment for an eating disorder.  I’d been there for 2 of the 4 weeks and had finally begun letting all the self imposed pain out of my system.  Every morning the chaplain would make us all meditate.  I thought it was silly at the time, but I did it.  Several days in, the chaplain pulled me aside and said, “You meditate beautifully, Claudia.  You glow when you relax into your spirit.”  Something within me stirred upon hearing those words. I wanted more of that glow.   I craved the peace and wholeness I felt.  I wanted to feed my soul, not just my body.  This was new for me, and I ran with it.  I ran right to the bookstore and began devouring self-help books.  Starting with “The Road Less Traveled,” by M. Scott Peck.

3)    How long do you think the spiritual process was underway for you before you understood specifically what was taking place?

One day I was talking over coffee with a dear friend.  I’d been out of treatment for maybe 3 years, had a brain tumor removed, was freshly divorced, was just about to finish college and separate from the United States Navy.  I had a LOT going on.  My friend was complaining about how bad her life was and she couldn’t understand how I was handling everything in mine so well in comparison.  She said it was like I wasn’t human.  And I didn’t get offended.  At all. 

I’d been well on my path for several years, but it never occurred to me that some subtle shift had taken place that allowed me to walk with grace through some pretty tumultuous stuff and not bat an eyelash.  When I started thinking about what my friend said to me, I started noticing how “human” most people are.  How stuck they can be, and how happily they stay there.  I understood then that I was embracing more than my humanity.

My spirit knew I knew it was there.  And was thrilled.

4)    What events or experiences along the way clarified for you what was happening in your life?

I had the most graphic prophetic dream the night before the whole Waco, TX compound went up in flames.  I dreamed that night that my mother and I were commandos going into the compound to save the children.  My mother fell behind me, and when I turned to look for her, I saw the whole building burning.  I woke up shaking and went to get some coffee.  Flipped on the TV and what did I see?  The compound burning to the ground.   Having seen my mom fight the dreams her whole life, I did what I could to shroud myself from future occurrences.  But I knew my sight/intuition would be a part of my path.  I just wasn’t ready to deal with it yet.

The event that catapulted me to where I am now though, occurred in the summer of 2007.  I attended a Past Life Regression workshop held by Dr. Brian Weiss at the Omega Institute.  I went in being skeptical that I would even go under hypnosis.  Boy was I wrong. I went under the first (and every ) time.  And for me?  I was gifted with irrefutable evidence, evidence that I saw with my own mind’s eye and felt with my heart, that we are eternal beings having a human experience.  I watched myself die in 6 different lives that weekend and each time I could feel myself rise a little more out of my skin.  In fact I had a very difficult time paying attention to anything 3D because my eyes had been ripped so wide open.  I lost nearly all fear that weekend.  Because if your spirit doesn’t die?  And death can’t stop you?  What is there to ever be afraid of?

Last year I became a Reiki Master.  I had a profound experience during one of the attunements.  We were meditating and calling our Reiki guides in to help us adjust to the new energy flowing through our bodies.  I waited a very long time in meditation before I saw anything.  My ego even let me slip into a negative mindset that told me I didn’t have any guides.  Turns out?  My ego was right.  As I meditated, gods from three different pantheons slowly walked toward the etheric me, sitting in my Zen garden.  I was astounded by the sight of them… alive and in my mind’s eye.  I was awed and grateful that such powerful beings had come to help me heal people.  My shock only grew as they each flanked me and stood by my side.  Not over me, or before me, but next to me.  When I asked them how this had come to be, they not only showed themselves to me, but blessed me with such a light filled feeling of equality.  Then, they said in the most deliciously resonant voice, “You know who you are.”

And so I do.  I am god.  We all are. 

5)    In the beginning what other explanations, if any, did you give for your experiences?

I’d brush synchronicities and my picking up other people’s thoughts off to chance.   I am very much like Radar from the TV show M.A.S.H. in that I answer questions before people get a chance to pose them.  It used to make me feel uncomfortable, because how could I know and why should I know such things?  For a while I hid that, too.  In an effort to fit into the “norm” but that was actually more uncomfortable than just being me.

6)    When you began to hear the call to draw inward and follow this unfolding in your life, what changes were most challenging to make?

There came a point in my life when I had to change how I was dealing with people who weren’t on a path similar to my own, or any path but self destruction, for that matter.  I’d managed to attract into my life a litany of exceedingly negative people and the more I grew in my spirituality the less I was able to tolerate their vibration.  I told them of my wish to be positive (which was a hard enough thing to do - standing up for myself) then I ultimately pleaded with them to not dish gossip and other such nonsense around me.  It took maybe a year before I was standing nearly alone in my concrete social life.  And I was honestly never happier.

Most of my truest friends live far from me and I connect with them via the blessed Internet.

7)    Did you have any internal skepticism or relationships in which their view of your experience created doubts and difficulty in believing in your own experience?

I’ve faced, battled and learned from my ego the whole entire way.  The way we are raised in this society is to be leery of everything, especially things we can’t use one of our (limiting) five senses on.  Everything tells us not to trust our gut feelings and intuition.  So when I began to allow my intuition some power I was terrified I’d screw everything up.  But I haven’t.  It’s been perfect, so far.  And I expect perfection to continue.  As far as my talking about the things I’ve seen and felt and heard over the course of my life… I have a pretty good sense of how far I can go with someone before they utterly shut down.  I am not a fan of pushing people’s buttons, but I do like to make people challenge what they think.  Even if they let me upset them in the process.  Growth can be painful.  And I am not afraid of the pain.

8)    Looking back, what advice and guidance would you share with someone just beginning or even in the trenches of answering this call?

Love.  That has been my song my whole life. 

If you haven’t gotten to the place where you love yourself enough to allow yourself to be who you are then stop doing anything else and work on that.  Sure you can keep learning and seeking outside yourself for answers.  And that knowledge will come in handy someday (or else you wouldn’t have gathered it) but until you can fill yourself up with all the love that you ever think you might need?  You can’t love another, truly (because you are seeking to fill yourself up with their love, which makes it conditional love) unconditionally love them, or me for that matter.  Which leaves one in a place of fear.  Fear of losing that love you sought, or the feeling of it. 

You cannot lose yourself.  You are the love of your life.  If you can get to that place?  And really own it?  It is a direct line to ascension, in my opinion. 

Because it is ALWAYS, always about love.

I am a love spreading writer, Reiki Master, mother of 2 and creator of my wonderful little universe. Glad you are part of it. ♥

It's Essential to Believe.

My manifesto?  I believe in freedom.  I believe in autonomy AND oneness.  I believe life and people are inherently GOOD, I believe you cannot screw this up--you are an eternally valid being in human (and other, simultaneous) forms.  I believe the whole point is to love everything, including YOU, to take yourself and your inner urgings seriously and jump into what interests you and what feels good, creating what only you can.  I trust what matters to you, and me, -- matters to ALL.

Addendum:

My manifesto in action?  Expect Wonderful.

My passionate, relentless desire which gets me revved up everyday?

Encouraging you to claim your power and do YOUR THING.  We need it. The whole Universe.  Omniverse.  All-That-Is needs you to be YOU.

First Person: Jamie Lewis

Each month, as an extension of our monthly email,  "News from the Ideafrontier" one individual will be invited to share their own journey and how they experienced the call to awakening; a close up and personal perspective on the ascension experience.  Each person will respond to the same standard list of questions and we'll have the honor of  one up-close and personal perspective.

For our feature in March 2010, I'm pleased to introduce you to one exuberant and shimmering human being: Jamie Lewis.  Enjoy!

 

1)    Name, and a sentence or two about you.

Jamie K Lewis.

I am a divine, multi-dimensional being having a jolly-good time here on Earth supporting the magnificence of consciousness in action!

2)    What got this whole process of spiritual awakening going for you?  When did you realize you were having a spiritual awakening?

If you mean understanding that I was ascending in consciousness, in 2005 I began a path of personal healing with a Reiki Master to whom I had been introduced. She told me things I had never heard before about the change in the planet’s energies, indigo and crystal kids, star beings, angels, and things like that. I felt the truth in her words even though I couldn’t make sense of them at first. I was hooked.

If you mean awakening to my inherently spiritual nature, I have never doubted this to be true. Even going through my “Atheist phase” (ages 13-14) I wrote poems about angels and stories about the nature of reality, and I still prayed, although my method of prayer changed. I stopped talking to “God” and started talking to myself. Now that I understand us to be One and the same, I bless this strange phase of my life with love.

3)    How long do you think the spiritual process was underway for you before you understood specifically what was taking place?

At this point I can reflect on everything that has ever happened in my life and every thought, emotion, and experience has supported this process, no matter how it has ever seemed otherwise… the awakening to the understanding that there is nothing to heal or fix. There is only to Be, Experience, Enjoy and Create. I have a feeling that every being experiences this at some point in physical reality.

4)    What events or experiences along the way clarified for you what was happening in your life?

I was in vision during a healing session with a client and Archangel Michael was there, as always. I had always previously looked to him for guidance during these sessions. He was very quiet, but smiling. I asked him, “What now?” He said, “You tell me, Master.” I knew he was looking to me as an equal; I also knew that must mean I was ready to see myself in this way. It felt right, and good. It had gone from a mental concept to an emotional truth. At the end of the session, once the client had gone and I came down from the high of energy healing work, I panicked. I had to deal with all the out-dated belief systems within me that contradicted the understanding of myself as Divine. You know, things I learned from my ancestors and religious dogma, etc. But it was too clear and exhilarating an experience to let myself forget it, and of course my angels and guides have been with me every step of the way to help me keep the understanding alive and growing, glowing and flowing!

5)    In the beginning what other explanations, if any, did you give for your experiences?

I thought I suffered from incurable genetic mental/emotional diseases because that is how I was diagnosed by a psychiatrist. I also thought I suffered from alcoholism because I had been self-medicating since I was 15. He told me I would probably have to be on medication the rest of my life, like all the women in my mother’s family before me. With my willingness to understand the truth, the support I accepted from the angels and my Reiki Master, and trust in my own intuition I got off those medicines within 2 years of that diagnosis and have never needed them again.

6)    When you began to hear the call to draw inward and follow this unfolding in your life, what changes were most challenging to make?

I have always been comfortable with change, even radical change, so the changes themselves were not so tough. The most challenging change I had to make was learning to trust my own intuition in every situation. This was difficult at first because I had always allowed others to tell me how I was “supposed” to be in the world. It got easy with practice. After the first stomach-flipping time I told my father that I loved him and respected his opinions but I was still going to do what I thought was right for me, even if it meant he would worry or be disappointed it was a cakewalk! At this time I wouldn’t dream of making decisions any other way.

7)    Did you have any internal skepticism or relationships in which their view of your experience created doubts and difficulty in believing in your own experience?

Of course! I have allowed this kind of experience in the past (see previous question). Now I allow support and encouragement, and relationships firmly rooted in love and respect. This one simple decision has allowed miracles to occur in all the relationships in my life. I enjoy everyone! I don’t concern myself with how they think or feel about my decisions. Instead, I enjoy our unique and beautiful connection and the moments we share. There is infinite love in those moments as a result.

8)    Looking back, what advice and guidance would you share with someone just beginning or even in the trenches of answering this call?

I would encourage anyone to establish a daily meditation practice. There is no longer any need to become a hermit on a mountain or in a cave to reach enlightenment – the planet’s energy at this time supports the process to happen with joy, grace, and ease for all who intend to experience it in this way, and much faster than ever has been available in the past. For 20 minutes a day simply BE with yourself, ALL of you, in whatever way is exciting to you (breathing exercises, guided visualization, walking slowly, qi gong, yoga). Intention is EVERYTHING, so intend for it to be a joyous practice that yields fantastic results in no time at all, with no disruption or trauma! It may not seem like anything significant is happening at first but you will experience tremendous shifts within yourself over time, and these changes will happen more and more rapidly as you become more comfortable with them. I would also encourage anyone to spend as much time as possible with other people on this path just enjoying one another’s company and having as much fun as possible! This is the most spiritual thing you can do.

little maitri thought for the day...

Loving yourself is the starting point and the very foundation of all human existence. The advantages of self-loving are astonishing--you become contented, fulfilled, original, powerful, and humble and are able to listen to other people and really hear who they are. It creates delight. May I suggest? GO for it~!

Maitri is a Sanskrit word, that is often translated as unconditional friendship with oneself.  And as Pema Chodron reminds us, .."this is very hard to come by--unconditional acceptance of yourself.  It's a practice of beginning to make friends with oneself, and it not coming from the outside anymore." 

Where does it come from ?  Feeling at home with your own mind and body... relaxing with yourself.  Not only is this the basis of compassion...it's the seed of happiness.

It begins with our relationships to ourselves.   We train ourselves first, to be loving, honest and compassionate with ourselves.  We find the basic tenderness we have, and we extend this to ourselves--when we feel good and when we feel bad.  It's kind of like unconditional ideal-mother love.  The foundation of all peace in the world even, is based on our ability to relate to ourselves, first, this way.  Then gradually we can extend it outward--first to people we already know and love, and later to the more challenging relationships and to people we don't even know.  It's a process, but it all begins with tuning into the feelings of gratitude and appreciation that we have for our life and cultivating it; reaching for this feeling toward ourselves in each moment--easy or difficult.

So here's your formal invitation: LOVE YOURSELF.  Make friends with yourself.  It's the doorway to everything.
