Last week, I listened to David Nino Rodriguez interview Juan O Savin about Juan’s insights on the current state of the world, and how things will move forward. David was taking questions from the live audience and asked Juan, who are we to trust? A listener wanted to know which truthers and media outlets can be trusted for reliable information and insight. I’ve transcribed the excerpt below. It is important for discerning and navigating the huge changes ahead.

David Rodriguez: “Are all the truthers to be trusted? Who can we trust?”

Juan O Savin: “Look, you need to be asking God Himself for guidance. If you’re looking to a guru, any person, any man, you need Divine assistance. Even the best truther or prophet or guru, or whatever, all they should be doing is giving you some checkpoints and clues. Ultimately, you need to be asking God Himself for guidance because your situation is unique from every other person, even your closest relative, the person you work with. You may need some special guidance, will need some special guidance that’s specific to you. If there are people out there that are talking, don’t just listen with just your human ears, you need Divine assistance because the siren’s song … in the Scripture it says that there were great deceptions coming that even the elect, God’s own people, God’s children, could be fooled by. Except that God Himself gives you this extra understanding, okay? If it were possible, even the elect would be deceived. Well, how would it not be possible? Because they hear from God Himself. I don’t even trust people that I trust! I still have to ask for Divine assistance, guidance, thoughts to make the best understanding, because even good guys make mistakes from time to time, or get pulled off …

“Even the very best people that you think are hearing from God, prophets, well if you’re just going off of what they said you can get misled. You need to hear from God personally, directly.

“And I believe that God is as serious as you are. If you ask God for guidance for your life, God will give you that guidance. If you’re looking to a guru, you’re getting secondhand food, it’s the bird that chews up the food and puts it in your mouth. I don’t want predigested food! I don’t want prechewed food! It is steak, have a steak! Get word from God directly, not through a man as an interim conduit, because it may not be the right word for you!

If you want to listen to the entire interview (recorded on February 23rd), here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syw1UfK07IQ . The excerpt I’ve highlighted begins at 38:48 minutes.

I agree with Juan that receiving direct guidance from God should be at the top of our priorities. Certainly, if you want to fulfill your mission for this life, or come out on the other side of the turbulence and chaos in a much better place, you will need direct guidance from God. And you will need to show God / the Universe that you’re serious about it, too. That you’re ready for your mission, ready to take action.

I am not an investigative journalist, and haven’t been following world events closely. For deep insight on geopolitical and world events, I recommend Tore Maras (ToreSays show), Clif High and Juan O Savin. But if you want to strengthen your connection with God, if you want to become more confident in your connection with your higher self (your direct connection with God) and receive such clear guidance that you will not be able to dismiss it, this is where I can help. By sharing with you my journey.

You see, I have worked on strengthening my connection with God … seriously … since around the year 2000. Around that time (well, maybe a couple of years before then, too) I began to sense in my inner being, in the pit of my stomach, a deep unease as to what was coming. (I couldn’t put my finger on it, because it was deep, but it was a feeling of dread.) My personal life also became unstable around the year 2000, further motivating me to seek God’s guidance.

I committed to this process of seeking God’s guidance by making some major changes in my life. I kept track of what I experienced by writing down what happened as I strengthened that connection with God. I kept track of what brought me a step forward, and what pulled me a step back.

Your journey will be different than mine. Your guidance will be different, and you will be asked to do different things. What kind of actions will you be guided to take in the weeks and months ahead? Well, as Juan said, it’s individual for each of us. The guidance you receive will not be the same as mine, it may not even take the same forms as mine (for example, guidance can come in the form of dreams, waking up with a strong inner knowing, “signs,” overhearing things that answer a current issue or question, an uplifting feeling in my heart, experiencing favorable synchronicities, etc.). Even the form of guidance is specific to you, because God knows what will get your attention. God will provide you with that guidance, as long as you’re serious.

For a recent example of Divine guidance I received, read my last blog post titled, The Tipping Point of the Great Awakening.

If you have questions about any of the material above, if you want the checkpoints, clues, as well as real life examples, it is my honor and duty to help, by leading by example and sharing my story. I share the things I said, my prayers, the specific things I did, and how the Universe responded when I said, and did, those things in my book, What Everyone Believed: a memoir of intuition and awakening. By leading by example, I can help you along your journey, if only to reduce the fear that accompanies the process. If you have questions or concerns, or if you’re afraid you’re going to lose yourself in the process (which I discovered can be a big obstacle on this journey). This book will help a lot.

How do you gain confidence in your connection with God, in your inner guidance and intuition? Do you simply stand in front of the mirror and tell yourself that your connection is 100%? Or does your confidence in your connection increase gradually (as you begin to follow your inner guidance and experience amazing synchronicities as confirmation that you’re on the right track)? Even if you don’t think you have a mission, or just want to be more connected and intuitive, this is the path for strengthening your intuition.

The above is part of the message I’ve been sharing since 2008 when my first book came out, which then followed by 144 articles on EzineArticles, a second book, and starting this blog at the beginning of 2012. If you would like to support my mission to share this message with the world, please contact me through my contact page.

If you want, I can mail you a signed copy of my hardcover book, or you may purchase either a hardcover, or a Kindle version, through Amazon. It will help you navigate these challenging times, and your so doing will help me out as well. Thank you.

Many people are experiencing more vivid dreams lately, so I am republishing an old 2011 article of mine from ezinearticles on how to interpret your dreams. I am aware that humanity is going through an intense period of awakening, and one of the ways that Spirit speaks to you and guides you through this awakening is through your dreams.

My last blog post focused on remembering your dreams. You might want to read that post first, and follow the tips in it. Once you are able to remember your dreams, you will want to interpret them, and understand them better. So, what are the keys to understanding your dreams?

The main key to understanding your dreams involves strengthening the relationship you have with your higher self and cultivating a deeper, clearer, and more real relationship with that inner part of you. If you are like most people, you probably paid little attention to your “higher self” as you learned to fit in and play your role in society. (No worries about that though; there is a point to everyone playing their role, which we will learn in due time.)

But now, at this time of the Great Awakening, becoming more conscious of your higher self and confident in that inner connection is the key. This inner connection will become super valuable and important, especially when you see societal systems collapsing around you, and you see that you can no longer rely on them. Let’s put it this way: the time ahead will be A LOT easier for you if you are confident in your connection with your higher self (your direct connection to God) and experience regular confirmation of that connection.

Anyway, back to interpreting our dreams. I have previously shared that before I reconnected to my higher self, I was not good at remembering my dreams and had a hard time interpreting them. (I would remember, maybe, only the last parts of my dreams.) But after I became more connected to my higher self, my dreams became clearer and more vivid. Also, I could remember details about them that I considered relevant to what was happening in my life at the time.

The following is an example of a dream I had in 2005. I include this dream here because it has some significance to the time of awakening that we are going through right now. The following dream is an excerpt from my spiritual awakening memoir:

“At the end of January 2005, I awakened from a dream where I was scrambling across a craggy landscape that looked like the aftermath of a mountain explosion. Large boulders and slabs lay all around me in disarray, as though they had fallen from the sky. Crevices wide enough to fall through stymied your path; you had to watch your every move. I was stepping through the wreckage, hopping from boulder to boulder, headed towards a city that looked like ancient Rome. When I entered the city through the front gates, I saw lions living among the people. Lions loitered in the courtyards, on the piazzas and the verandas. The people hummed about the city guardedly—quite understandable, given that you could never be sure what a lion might do. I too walked around feeling guarded, and slipped away to a safe place while still going about my normal business. I was with a Hispanic woman. She had been stopped for questioning at one of the city’s checkpoints—a common thing. And as I was waiting for her, I awakened from my dream.

“After I recorded this dream into my journal, it occurred to me that the people had learned to live with the lions; the two had coexisted. And perhaps after a few generations, it became the only way they knew how to live. They had learned how to walk, what to do, what to feed the lions. They went about their daily business taking certain precautions and thus, were relatively safe. And then, the lions did not seem so much like lions anymore. They mostly lazed around, swishing their tails.”—End of excerpt.

Back in 2005, when I awakened from this dream, I interpreted it to mean that I had a decent handle on things, and that I was supposed to keep going with my mission while “coexisting” with my fears. Later, I saw an additional meaning in this dream: that I have learned my lessons and have learned to coexist with my biggest fears to the point where they no longer blocked me from doing what I was here to do. My fears have been transformed. In fact, what I discovered is that my biggest fears turned out to be the catalysts that helped me discover my unique contribution toward this important time in humanity’s history.

Your spiritual awakening (strengthening your connection with your higher self, your connection with God / the Universe) is an important step in your journey. It is why you are here, on this Earth, at this time. And even though the events we will go through will be extremely challenging, if your connection with your higher self is strong, your fears will not have the same hold they had on you in the past. (Yes, I do believe that world events will get rockier before they get better.)

To summarize, one of the ways that Spirit speaks to you and guides you in your life is through your dreams. This is why it’s worth the effort to remember your dreams, to try to understand them, and to strengthen your relationship with your higher self.

Last month, I had a dream where I popped into a bright, white meeting room where a few other people were assembled around a large conference room table. But as soon as I was noticed by the others, I got the feeling they were thinking, what in the world are you doing here? So I made myself wake up, to get away. Strange, too, is that this dream happened at the beginning of the night, soon after I fell asleep, rather than in the morning when most of my dreams usually occurred. It felt so real, it has a lasting impression on me, still to this day.

My intuition says I popped into a room where what’s happening on this planet, and what’s next, was being discussed. But clearly, they didn’t want me there to listen in. At least not yet.

I’m curious if anyone else had a similar experience, or if you have any insight on this. If so, please leave a comment below!

Anyway, this dream inspired me to update an article on remembering your dreams that I wrote back in March 2011 …

Back then, a reader had emailed, asking what he should do so he could remember his dreams. “Can you give me some insight into dreaming? I do not and cannot remember my dreams. I was told this is not normal. Why can’t I remember my dreams?” he asked.

I understand his frustration. Earlier in my life, I usually wouldn’t remember my dreams, either. And when I did remember a dream, usually it was only the last part of it. And even then, I wouldn’t notice the details that other people claimed to be able to notice—details like color, for instance.

But then, as I began to reconnect to my higher self, I began to pay more attention to my inner feelings, and this is what helped develop my capacity to remember my dreams. (Connecting to your higher self develops you in a number of ways. Remembering your dreams is one of them.)

Besides reconnecting to your higher self (which I will not discuss in this post, as I’ve already written on this topic extensively on this blog and in my two books), I recommend the following tips for remembering your dreams.

5 Tips for Remembering Your Dreams

  1. Anticipate that you will have dreams and that you will remember them. To this end, get yourself a notebook specifically for your personal growth: your new insights and dreams. Keep this notebook by your bedside, along with a pencil or pen and be ready to write in it when you wake up with a dream, even if you only remember a few things.
  2. As you retire for the night, ask your higher self for guidance while you sleep. (Do this nightly.) Ask your higher self a question about a problem you are dealing with, or about something bothering you at the moment. For example, “How do I solve that thermodynamics homework problem? Give me some insight into setting up the solution.” Then relax and fall asleep, knowing that your higher self is working on the solution while you sleep.
  3. When you awaken in the middle of the night with a new or helpful insight, put the light on and write it down in your notebook. Do not miss the opportunity to develop the capacity to make new neural connections and capture new insights. More often than not, you will not remember the new insight in the morning. Write it down, promptly.
  4. When you are dreaming and you begin to notice that you’re dreaming, it usually signals that you will soon awaken from your dream. Do not try to awaken; don’t even move. Just go over what happened in your dream, over and over again, until you find yourself fully awake.
  5. Then, while still in bed, pick up your dream journal and write in as many details about your dream that you can remember. Do not put off writing in your dream journal until later in the day. Do it right away!

Regarding tip number 1 above: intention and anticipation may seem to be the same, but I came to experience that anticipation had more power in it than intention. For example, years ago, rather than intending that I receive guidance from my higher self, I anticipated it—I paid attention and looked out for it and then I followed through when I received the guidance. When describing what works to get the “ball rolling,” anticipation is more accurate than intention. Anyway, would Carly Simon have written a song called Intention? I seriously doubt it.

Reconnecting to your higher self and following the tips above will help you develop your capacity to not only remember your dreams, but to experience dreams that are more meaningful to you, dreams that guide you to solve a particular problem or to advance you in some area of your life. Because the truth is, your dreams are one way your higher self (and your spirit guides) use to guide you on your life path, to give you insight.

Now for Some Important Guidance

Are you actively involved in the awakening that is happening all over the planet? If not, it is time to step up! As I have said numerous times before, everyone has a role in this fight, including you. If you don’t have a role yet, and are looking to be useful, I would recommend Tore Says on Telegram (app on your phone, and her most active channel). Tore Says is also on Facebook and Twitch. Some of her videos show up on YouTube, too.

I consider Tore to be most knowledgeable of what’s going on in the U.S. government today, and world, for that matter. That’s because she worked with some top officials and wrote some of the scripts being played out today. Here’s a link to see her various channels:

https://toresaid.com/torecontent.cshtml

I’ve written before that we must fight, in our local areas, using the laws that are currently in place. Tore has an army of people writing letters, filing Writs of Mandamus in their local states, attending local school board meetings, getting together and getting stuff done. Connect with this army on Telegram, including the local state groups. It is making a difference.

I have also impressed upon you that now’s the perfect time for you to be a hero. You are being given a chance, a once in a many-lifetimes opportunity to give it your all. We are all on a hero’s journey. Please step up not only for your family and fellow man, but for YOU.

Recently, I had my chiropractor and her partner, let’s call him Aaron, over for dinner. Among other topics, we discussed what happened during the California CZU “August Lightning Complex” fires that began August 16, 2020, in the small mountain towns near Santa Cruz, California.

I lived in Saratoga, CA at the time, and took the photo above on August 19, 2020, from Saratoga. The photo is pointed at the Los Gatos / Santa Cruz mountains. You can see the heavy smoke in the air that afternoon.

Aaron and his partner live in Bonny Doon, a small town with around 2700 residents. Bonny Doon and Boulder Creek are two towns that sustained the most fire damage in the Santa Cruz mountains area. I imagine that a fair few homeowners have already had people like SunFire Defense come out and fire-proof their homes but, still, it must have been pretty terrifying having to evacuate and not be sure what state their properties would be in when they were eventually allowed to return.

Aaron said that rather than evacuating the area, as all residents were instructed by local officials to do, he stayed behind to make sure his home would not burn down. He may also have looked up various restoration services that could help him in this regard. Anyway, he wetted the area around his home with a garden hose, then began putting out small fires that started in his neighborhood, small fires that jumped from the fires raging nearby. (I am sure that Aaron’s intuition told him to do this, and he had the courage to follow his intuition.)

Later that evening, a firetruck with several firefighters came by and stopped near his house, lifting his spirits temporarily. Probably, he may also have contacted fire and smoke remediation experts for extra precautionary measures. However, instead of getting out of their truck and helping him protect the homes from the fires, they started filming him putting out fires, from the comfort of their truck. He went to ask them why they weren’t helping. They said they didn’t have enough resources.

“What do you mean you don’t have enough resources,” asked Aaron. “You’re here now, you can help.” But instead of getting out of their truck, they asked for Aaron’s signature on a release form, giving them permission to use the video to request more resources from the government. Aaron declined their request, and the firefighters drove away without stepping outside their truck. They said they were dispatched to Saratoga, to wait there and make sure the CZU Lightning Complex fires didn’t jump into the town of Saratoga. (On the other side of the Santa Cruz mountains, toward Silicon Valley.)

A couple of days later, Aaron was still fighting fires in Bonny Doon, making sure his home and neighboring homes did not catch fire. On his way to get more water, he noticed several firetrucks parked on the side of the road, with firefighters sleeping inside. This was around 4:30 in the morning. He woke them up, warning them that the fire was about to jump the road, telling them he needed their help. The firefighters asked which side of the road the fires were on, then rolled up the window and went back to sleep. It wasn’t “their area,” they said. The firefighters were from Los Angeles.

Permanent sign posted in the Santa Cruz mountains.

Help From Other Areas Declined

Although local news had reported that fire-fighting crews from other areas were on their way to help fight the CZU fires, it is questionable how much help actually arrived. In May of this year, a friend of mine went to Las Vegas for a couple days, for a bit of gambling. He came across a few Nevada firefighters at a table, with whom he started chatting. The firefighters told him that authorities in California did not want assistance from Nevada firefighters. Therefore, no help arrived from Nevada.

In the end, 86,500 acres burned and 911 homes (interesting number, right?) were destroyed by the CZU Complex fires, according to San Jose’s Mercury News.

Visions in My Mind’s Eye

I am writing this blog post because over a month ago, in my mind’s eye as I was waking up from sleep one morning, I saw an image of a car fire, with fir trees burning down all around it. Getting images on the inside of my eyelids is something new to me. But the image was clear, and it’s the second time recently that I’ve seen some type of image on the inside of my eyelids. Perhaps this increased visual ability is due to the juice cleansing I’ve been doing recently, or the chiropractic adjustments I’ve been receiving, or maybe it’s part of the increased abilities we are all developing during this time of the Great Awakening?

Today, over a month later, several areas in California are experiencing major fires. The Caldor Fire near Lake Tahoe is particularly out of control, and residents have been told to evacuate their homes. I pray that real help is already on the ground and that rains come soon.

Ties to U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals?

I am not 100% sure about the details, but I recall that sometime in 2020 the researcher Amazing Polly, in one of her informational videos, discussed the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals. (Another term for this policy is Agenda 2030, or Agenda 21.) Apparently, it is the U.N.’s goal to move people out of rural areas and into the cities, where they can be more easily controlled. I anticipate that lots of information about Agenda 2030 will come to light in the next few months and years.

Which brings me to a blog post I published last year: In April of 2020 I received an intuitive insight / a “sign from the Universe,” that the bigger war humanity was fighting was already won, and that we should expect “Bright Futures.” However, what I also intuited is that people will still need to fight “the lower levels” in their local areas. This is because many people in local city and county governments have been influenced, either they were paid off to look the other way, or they actively promote an agenda that doesn’t have your best interests at heart.

How do you fight locally? Well, parents show up to school district meetings, and residents attend town and city council meetings. Everything and everyone needs to be examined: Local CPS, sheriffs, judges, school and “health” officials, etc.

Writing letters is a good start, but not always sufficient to get the job done. Letters can be ignored and thrown in the trash. If you are in a wheelchair, writing letters is fine, but as I have been saying for a long time, you must do what you are capable of doing, what your intuition is calling you to do.

It’s Now Time to Take Back Your Power!

The latter part of August, I visited my dad in Cheektowaga, New York. There are no mask mandates in stores. Some people still wear masks, but many do not. On August 25, my dad and I were driving on errands. That day, Cuomo was done with office, and I heard on the news that at the last minute, he bestowed to individual counties the power to dictate their own health guidelines for the new school year. (Apparently, the new governor does not hold the same powers.)

My dad listens to AM talk radio, so I heard the Erie County school guidelines press conference as we’re driving. In a nutshell, Erie County is mandating masks and social distancing for teachers and children. How they’re going to do this distancing during sports and PE, they fumbled around that issue. They also said teachers will be Contact Tracing everyone, including the children. Then, right before Q&A, the press conference was interrupted by a fire alarm and everyone evacuated the building. The radio announcers broke into hysterical laughter.

I must say, this is truly a circle of clowns we’re dealing with. Please take back your power. It will not be all that hard.

If 2020 hasn’t been crazy enough for you, events in 2021 have escalated to a whole new level. This is why it’s high time to strengthen your connection with God, trust yourself in that connection, and awaken to the bigger picture, the Great Awakening.

The last few weeks, the world seems to be spiraling more and more out of control. For example, are you aware that the Italian government has just collapsed? Are you aware that Italy and NATO were involved in rigging elections in the U.S.? Have you heard that Germany’s chancellor Angela Merkel has stepped down? Are members of the Dutch government resigning? Has Estonia’s prime minister already resigned? Is Putin rewriting Russia’s Constitution? Did Pope Francis and former Pope Benedict receive the C0r0navirus vaccine? And I wonder: Will it be announced in the near future that both popes have passed away, not long after the vaccine was administered?

I caught the news about the popes getting the C0VID vaccine from a local California TV news network at a friend’s house a couple of nights ago. My friend happened to be surfing the channels, searching for a game show to watch as the news headline about the two popes spread across the screen. (I’ve avoided watching the TV news, particularly lately, but managed to catch that gem.)

Is the news getting to be too much lately? Is it enough to make your head spin? Well, I’m writing this blog post to share that when you don’t know whom to trust or what to believe, that’s your cue to go within, pray, and strengthen the connection you have with God. So that you can connect with the truth within, awaken to the bigger picture, to your inner power, and to your role at this time in the Divine Plan.

I have a bit of an advantage at this time in this “Great Awakening” as I’ve gone through a spiritual awakening more than 13 years ago and have written two books on that subject. My first book is a personal account, a memoir of my awakening experience, and the second one is a how-to book. It explains in plain, simple language how to strengthen the connection with your soul, your “higher self,” which is your direct connection with God, with the Christ within, with Christ consciousness. My second book shares what I’ve learned from my awakening experience, and how I began to “innerstand,” to see things differently, ever since.

You see, my world began to spiral out of control soon after the dawn of the new millennium, the year 2000. I sought answers to my crises and discovered that ultimately, the answers would need to come from within myself. Feeling that there was nothing or no one that could help me, I knew that I needed to help myself, by finding the truth within.

It was a lonely path, with years of loneliness and unease. My path was being shown by my inner connection and occasionally (about three times a year for about seven years), I would receive a channeled message over the phone from the Counsel of Light that helped me connect more deeply and gain more confidence in that inner connection.

The channeled messages helped strengthen that inner connection. I was given a “heart and soul” meditation to practice, and learned to follow my inner guidance. In fact, in the beginning, when I didn’t have a lot of confidence in that inner connection, my higher self “activated” my heart before receiving an important insight. The “preview” feeling of upliftment helped me pay attention to the guidance that soon followed.

Over the years, I discovered that when I paid at least as much attention to my inner guidance as I did to the outside world, that was when “critical mass” occurred. That’s when I began to “spiral upwards,” awaken spiritually and receive favorable synchronicities and blessings from “the Universe” as positive reinforcement, as well as confirmation that I was on the right path. You may call this path the hero’s journey. The hero’s journey is how we discover our contribution to the Golden Age, and how we build a new world.

I’ve written over 150 articles and blog posts on spiritual awakening (many of which you can find on this blog). I’ve worked hard to share my message, but haven’t reached many people. Hopefully, my work can now provide comfort to many more people during this time of turmoil.

Remember that the truth is within you, and God is within you. Yes, there will be heroes and heroines in the world, but even if you have no idea what’s going on right now you are not just a victim. You are here for a reason. You helped plan this human journey way back when, which means the answers to its fulfillment are within you. You can help yourself and help others. Rise up now and help the world.

I’ve been meaning to relaunch my spiritual awakening blog for a few months now, but was waiting for the right inspiration. The last several months, I’ve been busy working for a company that designs water treatment systems, and waiting for insight and direction to emerge for my “new” blog.

As you can see, I have a new header photo (designed by my photographer and graphic designer friend, Anne’ Phillips). Besides spiritual awakening, I added “uplifting your life,” “living consciously” and “fulfilling your purpose” as the main themes. Part of this (slightly new) direction came to me from a recent, vivid dream …

Your Higher Self Speaks to You through Your Dreams

If you’ve read my blog or books in the past, you might remember that I shared some of my dreams. And you also may know that your higher self, your connection to the Divine, often speaks to you in your dreams. So, here’s a dream I had recently …

Around mid-December 2019, I had a dream where I was climbing a ladder to get to the top of it, where I reached a ledge. I got up on the ledge, which was only about 4 inches wide, and began pulling people up. But there was a problem: the people could not stay up on the ledge, because it wasn’t wide enough.

So then I needed to build a wider ledge. I dragged wood and tools up the ladder to build this wider ledge. I figured I should make the ledge at least a foot or so wider, so people could stay up on it, once they got up. I took a hammer, nails and a board and began hammering the board to widen the ledge. That’s when I woke up.

Is it a Coincidence, or a Sign from the Universe? My Hike on Tuesday

It’s been a while since I hiked. Years ago, when I was writing my books, I used to hike daily. The last few years, I’ve been working, focused on other things, and maybe like yourself, just too busy. But after a long break, I started hiking again on Monday, March 30.

On Tuesday, I went on another hike. This time, I said a long prayer, out loud, for all that we’re going through right now, for the best outcome for humanity and all of the Earth’s inhabitants. As soon as I was done with my prayer, I walked to the other side of the street, then noticed something weird. There was something under a huge log, a literal sign, and I began to pull on it. I couldn’t pull it out because the left side was stuck under a heavy log. So I bent the wires, so that anyone walking or driving by could see it and read it. I took a photo of it, it’s below …

Sign from the Universe

If you’ve read my blog posts, articles and books in the past, you might remember my article from 2008 titled, “Is it Coincidence, or a Sign from the Universe.” I’m not able to find it on Google anymore, it’s gone, but it is on the EzineArticles.com site. (I may republish it here on my blog in the near future.)

Does this mean I think everything is hunky-dory? No, actually, quite the opposite. But I do believe we are in a time (finally!) of the possibility of a great spiritual awakening. A bright and promising future is definitely a possibility, that is, if we bend the current trajectory.

Right now, things aren’t looking so great. But I’m not going to discuss here what I think about this “virus.” I have my own understanding, and have been suspicious of the mainstream narrative since day one. So I’ve been waiting for something really worthwhile to share on my blog, and yesterday I found that something.

Rather than me writing about it, I’d rather have you listen to the following two explanations, one from a decades-long health reporter (one of the greatest journalists ever, and he’s crystal-clear, too), and another from an insightful MD. I urge you to listen to all three parts of Jon’s audio, and to Dr. Cowan’s entire presentation. (The total time for both presentations is about three and a half hours.)

This short investment in time (3.5 hrs.) is really worth your while, as you might come to the conclusion, as I did, that you can now stop listening to and reading other “trusted sources” for insight into what’s going on.

Dr. Cowan Explanation

(On 4/11 I’m adding the following video as well:)

Professor of Epidemiology Knut Wittkowski

When you’re inundated with so much contradictory news, so much misinformation, you’ve got to listen to some voices of reason that make much more sense than the current popular narrative.

In addition, you’ve got to go within and activate your inner BS detector, follow your own inner guidance, and awaken to the bigger picture regarding this planet’s evolution. That is the whole point of this time.

Let me explain. Around 2001/2002 I went through a major crisis. I knew that no one or nothing outside of myself could help me through that crisis. I knew I had no other choice but to go within, deep within, and “figure this whole thing out.” The culmination of that work is the numerous articles and blog posts I wrote and shared, as well as the two books I published.

When you’re in a crisis, when you’re suffering, the potential for great change and personal growth, aka “spiritual awakening” exists. But none of this is automatic, and it’s not going to happen automatically. You must strengthen your relationship with your higher self, the part of you that has a direct connection to the Divine, Great Spirit, God, Jesus, Buddha. And you take it through, you go through the spiritual awakening process. You take it through to the end.

I don’t think we’re going to be rescued from this chaos. I mean, sure, it would be nice to have a large group of heroes working toward the planet’s liberation, but I wouldn’t necessarily count on it.

Why do I think this? Because from my own experience, being rescued is not part of Divine Plan. What’s going on is about the hero’s journey. Everyone gets to be a hero, in their own way. Because we all need to do our part in the Divine Plan.

Well, maybe there are groups of heroes, ready to fulfill their assignments, but they definitely need the help of each one of us, to help transform the consciousness of the planet.

Here’s another thing to think about before I end this post: “They” are as much a part of the Divine Plan as you or I. “They” are not pulling the strings behind the curtain, orchestrating the Divine Plan. Them pulling the strings behind the curtain is part of the Divine Plan, and they are also subject to it. The point is: Please do what you’re called to do from within, to bend the trajectory of humanity’s future!

Finally, I’d like to share from Dr. Cowan two things:

The first is, find out what it means to be human. And please, find someone less fortunate than you and help them out.

The second thing is “a Verse for Our Time” from Rudolph Steiner.

We must eradicate from the soul all fear and terror of what comes towards man out of the future.

We must acquire serenity in all feelings and sensations about the future.

We must look forward with absolute equanimity to everything that may come.

And we must think only that whatever comes is given to us by a world-directive full of wisdom.

It is part of what we must learn in this age, namely, to live out of pure trust, without any security in existence.

Trust in the ever-present help of the spiritual world.

Truly, nothing else will do if our courage is not to fail us.

And let us seek the awakening from within ourselves every morning and every evening. — Rudolph Steiner

The last word is from me: Remember, this is much, much bigger than (most people) think.

FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedinIn David Wilcock’s latest post of October 22 on his website DivineCosmos.com Wilcock asserts that something big is coming that involves the highest level of the U.S. government, the Mueller investigation as well as Julian Assange of Wikileaks. Wilcock writes that “full disclosure” about the true nature of our government as well as world events is coming and if Mueller isn’t going to reveal what he knows, Wikileaks will, and it will be soon … like probably this week soon. David asks his readers to share this article with others, and also to meditate more and sever ties with those in our lives who have psychopathic and narcissistic tendencies, so that we can more easily release the ties the powerful elite have over our lives and the world.

That’s all fine and good, but I doubt that full disclosure, the announcement, will happen anytime soon, simply because I don’t see changes in the world that show that a great many people have awakened spiritually. You just have to look at the world around you and people’s behavior to see that most have not yet awakened … yet. Which to me means that full disclosure, the announcement, will continue to be stalled. I will now explain why, and define what I mean by “spiritual awakening.”

You do not “awaken spiritually” by reading about humanity’s origins, history, or the truth about religion, although reading can definitely be a step in the right direction.  You do not awaken spiritually by reading spiritual books, articles or blog posts, no matter how enlightened or how true they may be. Quite simply, you do not awaken spiritually by reading.

The only way to awaken spiritually and accomplish what it is that is required of all of us at this point in humanity’s evolution is to strengthen the relationship with your higher self, your direct connection with the divine. By strengthening the relationship with your higher self, you will awaken your inner power, your soul’s power.

In other words, spiritual awakening means awakening the power in you that’s been dormant and ignored for a long, long time. And by strengthening the relationship with your higher self, you will, over time, contribute to the unfolding of a new world.

When you strengthen the relationship with your higher self, you’ll discover that your life will not go along the same trajectory that it’s been on; you will make changes. Your higher self will guide you to take certain actions and when you take those actions, you’ll discover things about yourself and others that are truly eye-opening.

You’ll have profound firsthand insights that will change your view about yourself, about others, and about life on Earth. And when you change your views, it will help change your behavior. This is the same path to becoming the master of your life, and a necessary ingredient to experiencing “full disclosure.”

By strengthening the relationship with your higher self, you’ll discover who you are and what you’re truly capable of. You’ll fulfill your life purpose, and feel like you’ve finally arrived. And you’ll also discover the role the powerful elite have had in this Earth drama and in your spiritual evolution and you’ll be grateful to them for this, too.

I can’t emphasize enough how super important this is. And the divine will not cheat you out of this profound experience.

This is really good news. The Earth drama is not just some “good guys vs. bad guys,” the-good-guys-defeat-the-bad-guys-and-save-the-Earth drama that’s been around for millennia. Who is the hero anyway?

In fact, by taking this path and strengthening the relationship with your higher self you will become like the master Jesus. Jesus had a different attitude toward his enemies even 2000 years ago because he had a different view of life on Earth, a view informed by his deep insights that came from actually following his inner guidance, his connection to God. I know that even his close disciples had difficulty understanding his views.

That’s because rather than just listening and following him as if he were some sort of religious leader, or was unique in some way, or had all the answers, he had instructed them to discover their own inner power and connection with God. (This is why it’s true that Christianity has yet to be practiced.)

So how do you strengthen the relationship with your higher self? Quite simply, you pay attention to your heart and soul and you respond to the promptings of your heart / soul. The following are the five steps I’ve outlined for you that I discovered over years of connecting, responding to my soul’s higher guidance, and observing what happened as a result.

Five Steps for Strengthening the Relationship with Your Higher Self

  1. Ask your higher self to help you reconnect

Your higher self will respond to your intention and willingness to reconnect. Your higher self also knows what works best for you and how to get your attention. So … ask your higher self to help you connect.

  1. Meditate and pay attention to your Sacred Space

Next, pay attention to your “sacred space.” Your sacred space is your center, the area in the center of your body near your heart, “soul seed,” and solar plexus. Then you will do the following: you meditate with your attention on this area, asking for guidance, and you “check in” to this area several times a day. (Take a few seconds, several times a day, and place your attention on this area. Is your heart telling you something? What are you feeling?)

  1. Follow through on your inner guidance promptly and consistently

Make the commitment and build up the courage to follow through with your inner guidance promptly and consistently. In the beginning, your higher self may have you take little steps that will help build your trust. For example, your intuition might tell you to call an old friend, write down an insight, or do something that might not be your usual behavior. Follow through with your inner guidance as soon as possible and notice what happens as a result. And when something favorable happens to you because you followed through, what happens is your trust in your inner guidance, your ability to “read” it, and in your connection with your higher self will grow.

  1. Ask your higher self for clear guidance when you feel stuck

What do you do when you need guidance but don’t trust yourself to interpret it correctly because you’re feeling too anxious or stressed? Try to relax and ask your higher self to send you guidance so clear it can’t be misinterpreted.

I’ve received such “signs from the universe” on numerous occasions. And these signs came rather quickly after I asked for them, too.

  1. Be willing to let go of old beliefs and societal / mental conditionings

Sometimes, old beliefs and mental conditionings (about yourself, about others, and about the world) will get in the way of your progress and you’ll need to let go of them. (Note: This is especially true for the beliefs you have about yourself, and what you think you’re capable of!)

The good news is that as you strengthen your relationship with your higher self, your new experiences will simply override those false beliefs and mental conditionings. In the meantime, your greater trust in your inner guidance, the new insights and wisdom you’ll receive, and your new habits, capacities, and confidence will help you gently change your mindset. After all, when’s the last time you changed your mind about something that’s dear to you just because someone told you to?

The five steps above will help you cultivate a deeper, stronger and clearer relationship with your higher self … as well as bring more and more of your soul’s expression into the world. It’s also how you’ll know firsthand that you’re doing it, you’re on the right path.

If you feel comfortable and are ready to practice the five steps above, I urge you to begin today. I can say without a doubt that many blessings are in store for you.

But maybe you’re not quite sure about the steps above and would like to have the full details about each of them. Maybe you’d benefit from having simple, real-life examples? And maybe you’d like to know how to distinguish your gut instincts (which are influenced by your past experiences, your fears, and societal conditionings) from your higher self’s guidance? Then I suggest you get a copy of the book, The Spiritual Awakening Process: Coming Out of the Darkness and Into the Light.  The steps detailed in this book will help you find your Self again and become the master of your life.

In summary, David Wilcock does a good job of summarizing some of the planet’s hehind-the-scenes happenings. I recommend you read his latest post, even though I don’t agree with some of his assertions. However, much more emphasis must be placed on spiritual awakening, specifically the awakening of individual inner power. Because it’s time to have access to all your resources, to your deepest wisdom, and to become the master of your life. It’s time to experience “full disclosure” and help fulfill the Earth’s full potential.Share this

FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedinDiscover Your Life PurposeI was inspired to write this article by reading Tommie’s Spiritual Elevation Blog, namely his first blog post titled, “What on Earth Am I Here For?” It’s about his experience trying to discover his deeper life purpose by reading the second best-selling nonfiction book of all time, The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? It reminded me of my own similar, experience.

The first time I considered the idea that each of us is born with an individual, specific life purpose was in the mid-eighties, at an electronics company on Long Island. I had just graduated from college with an engineering degree, and a new friend from work named Dave suggested I check out his church, so that I could discover God’s “will for my life.”

This suggested that everyone has their own unique and specific plan, and I wanted to know mine. (Up until then, I had assumed the generic Catholic view that it’s the priests and nuns who get to have special vocations, everyone else just has a job. And that God wasn’t giving out any special assignments in this day and age.)

Before Dave revealed this new idea to me, I wasn’t aware that God had specific, detailed plans for individual people’s lives. The idea intrigued and startled me. I thought perhaps if I knew my true life plan, I’d make fewer mistakes and avoid the disasters that seemed to haunt my life.

For example, I was disillusioned with my job as a process engineer. And I was trying to let go of a bad college relationship. And the old, used Datsun I purchased for my move to Long Island had begun to break down. Plus, it had also been broken into twice, when I left it at the Huntington train station on my way to New York City. The second time the thief shattered the auxiliary window on the driver’s side and made off with my main source of entertainment then—my knitting project. (The radio had already been stolen.) Then, as if that weren’t enough, during a heavy snowstorm driving home from work my car’s windshield wipers stopped working. So I pulled over to the side, and drove my car straight into a three-foot ditch. Luckily for me, I hadn’t managed to get too far from work so I could walk there to get help. Besides all that, I didn’t have close friends or family nearby, and I wasn’t comfortable where I lived. I seriously thought it was high time to do something about my sorry car and the sorry state of my life—get a brand-new car and a brand-new life, perhaps one with a greater purpose.

But, I thought back then, just because all this bad stuff was happening didn’t mean I was going to promise to follow God’s plan precisely. I didn’t know what God had in store for me. But I was curious and open, and I thought that simply knowing this plan would make life easier and more rewarding.

Some months later, Dave shared another astonishing thing—that he was intuitive and knew I would help a lot of people someday by doing something new. The idea intrigued me—helping others seemed so admirable—but I wondered how that was going to happen given the current state of my life. Well, I had a new car by then, but other things were the same.

Besides, I didn’t know anything about this new thing I would supposedly do, so how could he, who barely knew me? Also, it’s a little disturbing when others claim to know things about you that you yourself don’t know. You wonder how and why this information has been kept from you, and if it is real. You become afraid to hear more, in case of bad news, though ultimately you know it can’t be true. But Dave seemed so sure, so smug about his prophecy.

Anyway, I developed a passion to learn more about myself and why my life was such a struggle. So out of sincere motivation to discover my true life plan I attended a few evangelic Protestant services that Dave recommended. But after a few services, after rereading the Bible with new interest and studying a couple booklets offered to me on the topic of God’s plan for individuals’ lives, my enthusiasm fizzled.

For one thing, I didn’t seem to be any closer to discovering my life plan. Also, the experience didn’t lift up my heart, and I wasn’t moved. I must sound like an awful stickler, but I remember thinking that some passages in the Bible seemed to be confused, as if something were missing. Having lived through eight years of Catholic grade school with its daily mass and religious classes, I just had expected more. After all, as people learn and grow, they’re ready for more truth and more wisdom.

The other thing was, where was the sense of humor? Biblical characters—including Jesus himself—must have had a huge sense of humor to keep themselves from going mad, and this sense of humor was completely missing.

Anyway, after not learning anything about my life purpose through Dave’s suggestions I kind of gave up on trying to discover it through the Bible, or through religious books or services. Instead, I started to attend a few personal development courses. I also quit my job on Long Island and found a job in Munich, Germany for a while. And for the first time in my life I began to feel more free, more adventurous and open. And I put the idea of discovering the “life purpose that’s sanctioned by heaven” out of my mind.

That idea remained dormant until about 15 years later, when, in 2001, I again began to experience some major challenges in my life. This time I had a family, too: a husband and two small children. And this time I could not afford to be casual in my search. Too much was at stake. I demanded real answers from heaven. I expected signs from the Universe that could not be misinterpreted. And crazy, amazing things began to happen, and consistently, when I actually followed through with my inner guidance.

I wrote two books about what I learned once I began to connect to the divine and follow through with my inner guidance. My first book came out in early 2008 and it’s a memoir of my reconnecting experience. My second book came out late in 2009, and was a “how-to” ebook on the spiritual awakening process, including how to fulfill your higher life purpose. I updated the “how-to” book recently and put it up on Amazon earlier this year. I’m sure that’s what the Divine had planned for me to do (and what Dave somehow knew, even though he didn’t know the details about it).

The following are several things I learned about our purpose, in a nutshell:

  1. Humanity has a generic higher purpose and each one of us also has our own individual, specific purpose.
  2. Our generic higher purpose on this planet was to have a fall in consciousness so that we would experience huge challenges and then, by rising above those challenges by connecting with our dormant higher consciousness and learning spiritual and life lessons through firsthand experiences we’d become true masters of our lives. This Earth experiment / experience was designed to have a noble purpose: so that we would become as compassionate, as appreciative of life and each other, and as creative (in addition to other good qualities) as is humanly possible, as quickly as possible.
  3. Our soul plans our individual higher purpose before we are born (I agree with Robert Schwartz’ work, Your Soul’s Plan) but this plan is not set in stone. It is a fluid plan, and depends on the generic divine plan and humanity’s progress with it.
  4. Most likely, we have little to no idea what our individual higher purpose is, not until we spend some time connecting with our higher self and following through with our inner guidance promptly and consistently. For example, with a degree in materials science & engineering and a master’s in environmental studies, I did not consciously plan to write books on spiritual awakening. That came later, after I experienced some huge life challenges, began to seek answers from my higher self, and had some amazing things begin to happen regularly as a result of this connection with the Divine.
  5. The Universe will offer you signs that help you find your higher purpose. That is, if you ask for them and you pay attention. (Doing this can help you distinguish your higher guidance from your ego’s desires.)
  6. Much of the guidance you receive will be on a moment-to-moment, need-to-know basis.
  7. It takes courage to find your higher purpose and fulfill it. It’s easier to simply be a cog in the wheel of the economy and just go along with things as they are. It takes courage to make changes, even those that will put humanity on the right path. But that’s what it takes for us to become true masters, such as the master that Jesus Christ was.
  8. Keeping a journal and recording your thoughts, dreams and the things that happens when you follow through with your inner guidance will help you discover your higher life purpose. And as you search for your higher purpose, your life will become more and more interesting and significant.

After going through my spiritual awakening process and viewing personal as well as world events in a new light, I am happier, more optimistic, much more at peace, and have much more compassion and understanding toward my fellow humans, as well as myself. And I definitely feel better prepared to face new challenges.

I encourage readers to begin their journey today by strengthening the relationship with their higher self and gaining confidence in that connection. The rewards are immeasurable.

Reconnected: A Spiritual Awakening Memoir really does reconnect, according to “Hall of Fame, Top 1000” Amazon Reviewer Dr. Joseph S. Maresca. Dr. Maresca goes on to say that, Reconnected: A Spiritual Awakening Memoir by Christine Hoeflich is an excellent book on the mechanics of tuning into the spiritual domain. Christine explains the inner self, accessing intuition and showcasing creativity.”

Reconnected explores the steps needed for strengthening the relationship with, and developing trust in, the higher self, in intuition, despite societal expectations. It lays the foundation for how readers can understand their soul’s bigger plan, and how to access Interconnectedness.

Christine said that she discovered on her journey that when people work with more than simply their will alone, they gain the support of the divine, helping miracles and magic to occur that might not have been possible through their will alone.

This Kindle book is available today, Wednesday November 2, 2016 until midnight PST time at no cost. Readers may download the eBook onto their Kindle, laptop or smartphone for free. (Amazon.com has free downloadable apps for reading Kindle books on laptops and smartphones.)

The following excerpt is just a small sample of what’s in store for the reader, from the “Superconductor” chapter:

After what had happened in merely a matter of months, I was only motivated to connect further to become an even clearer conduit of creative energy, to see what would be possible continuing on this course of listening within for guidance. I had a sense this was only the beginning and I wanted to see what was next, and how far I could go.

With a pounce onto my chest, our kitten awakened me from a dream the day I was revising this chapter. I was on my way to Alaska as a passenger in what looked like a new, comfortable European-style city bus. In my dream, I was aware that I’ve never been to Alaska, only to Canada, and I was thinking that going to Alaska would be just as easy as going to Canada.

The bus traveled through a picturesque, green valley in between beautiful snow-capped peaks, maybe ten miles from one side to the other. It reminded me of the area around Davos, Switzerland, still snowy in the higher elevations though it was almost summer. The bus meandered, switchbacking up an incline, went here and there, stopping for passengers to get on, taking its time. Impatient, I asked a woman sitting next to me how long this trip to Alaska would take.

“It’ll be around four hours,” she said.

Four hours? That was way too long for me! I wanted to get there sooner! I explained to her that if I drove my own car, it would take me only two hours. So I decided to get off public transportation and drive my own vehicle. I pulled the signal to stop and got off the bus. That’s when the cat woke me up.

So if the key to memory and the key to dreams is metaphor, was this dream telling me to forgo mass transportation or public direction and follow my own, to power up my vehicle and drive up the spiral of evolution? Furthermore, I got that Alaska doesn’t have to be viewed as some destination or end point because in reality, once you get to Alaska, there’s a whole new, big wonderful state to explore.

With a new level of enthusiasm I began to do a second meditation (a grounding meditation) to strengthen my connection with the heavenly dimension and with my environment, so as to help clarify and completely unveil my mission for this lifetime. (The “heart and soul” meditation described earlier in this book connects you to your inner core, while this grounding meditation helps to further strengthen the “vertical” connection of the above with the below.)

At least twice a day, I practiced a simple three-to-ten minute exercise for this purpose, an exercise slightly modified from one I had learned in the Soul Recognition Workshop.

Standing with my feet shoulder-width apart, my hands hanging loosely at my sides, my knees slightly bent, my eyes closed, and exhaling slowly, I’d imagine energy or sunlight flowing from the sun (or source, or the dimensions above) down to the top of my head, entering my body at the crown of my head and going down through my body in a line as straight and as coherent as a laser beam, down my spine all the way through to the bottom of my feet, to the core of the earth. Then inhaling slowly I’d imagine this energy reflect back up from the center of earth, through the bottom of my feet and the rest of my body to the top of my head and back up to the sun, or the higher dimensions. I would repeat this several times, imagining the energy or light flowing up and then down; inhale energy going up, exhale energy going down, with a short pause at each endpoint, and sometimes as long as I could hold it. (Alternatively, I sometimes imagined this energy going out to the universe with each out-breath and coming back into my inner core with each in-breath.)

I’d do this exercise expecting the connection to both my physical environment and to the heavenly or angelic realms strengthen and the energy to flow in between with more clarity and ease. This grounding exercise, as well as paying attention to my inner voice throughout the day, helped deepen the connection to the interconnectedness and made the inner guidance clearer. It was a simple practice I could do anywhere, but it seemed to do the job. –excerpt from Reconnected: A Spiritual Awakening Memoir

FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedinYou and Your Higher Self

My sister’s friend asked about yoga helping connect her with her higher self. This article explores how effective taking a yoga class is for strengthening your connection with your higher self and developing your intuition.

You may want to reconnect with and strengthen the relationship you have with your higher self so that it becomes more evident and real to you. Your meditation practice should help you with this goal. However, as with most things in life, some meditations are more effective than others. If your relationship with your higher self isn’t where you want it to be and you want to know what kind of meditation is effective for accessing your higher self and developing your intuition, read on …

Let’s begin with the basics first. To strengthen your relationship with your higher self, it’s not how you sit or how you breathe that’s all that important. And it’s not whether you have the “right” mantra. What’s important is whether your meditation helps you connect to that “higher self” part of you as directly as possible and whether you then hear and allow that sacred part of you to guide you daily in your life.

I’ll explain what I mean by “as directly as possible.” But first, I’ve found that for the fastest, easiest and best results in any area of life-doesn’t matter whether you’re baking a cake or grouting your kitchen tiles or connecting with your higher self-it helps to follow a good “recipe.” You’ll get better results when you accurately follow a proven mixing ratio (recipe), rather than just being “in the ball park.” The cake will come out light and tasty and the grout will have maximum strength and performance if you follow a good recipe. This also holds true for connecting with your higher self.

A Meditation … From the Counsel of Light

Over 14 years ago, the Counsel of Light gave me a meditation they said was a “shot in the arm” for connecting with my higher self. (Channeled for me by Flo Aeveia Magdalena of Soul Support Systems.) In this meditation, they had me place my left hand on my heart and my right hand on my “soul seed.” They called this area my “sacred space.”

They said the heart in my meditation symbolized my current life and the soul seed symbolized my infinite life (my higher self, soul, which never dies). During the meditation they had me imagine that I was doing a figure 8 (the infinity sign) around my hands. In essence, the meditation integrated my current life (heart) with my infinite life (soul, higher self). During the meditation, I was mixing the two areas together, integrating them.

Activating Your “Sacred Space”

After I got into this meditation practice, I noticed that this area of my body they called my “sacred space” would get warm and tingly just before I’d get an important guidance. In fact, sometimes I’d get this warm, intense glow in the center of my chest close to my heart even when I wasn’t paying any attention to this area.

I could be driving my car, for example, on some mundane errand, when all of a sudden I’d feel this intense warming up at the center of my chest. I’d feel a warm, peaceful, uplifting glow even when my life was in chaos and I felt scared, sad, and disconnected.

Moments after feeling this warm glow, I’d notice that I’d get a new insight, or some sort of inner guidance-guidance that helped me resolve specific problems in my life at the time. Having this warm feeling helped me at a time when I wasn’t yet confident in my ability to correctly distinguish my true guidance from my mental conditionings, fears, hopes, or imaginations. It also helped me recognize which inner guidance was important for me to follow.

Listen up … if your higher self gives you guidance it deems important, even critical for you to follow (so that you fulfill your higher purpose), wouldn’t it make sense for you to receive a sign that would be hard for you to ignore?

Touching Your Sacred Space Also Helps Calm You …

Placing your hands on your body as described above while lying down actually helps to calm you, to reconnect you to your true self. (Try it for a while and see.)

Furthermore, this kind of meditation also affirms that your power is within you, not outside of you, and that this is your direct connection to the Divine.

Yoga and the Martial Arts Provide Health and Physical Benefits

The Counsel of Light distinguished between connecting to one’s life force through the practice of martial arts and yoga (which increase the body’s well-being and energy level) and connecting to one’s higher self through the sacred space.

They said martial arts and yoga can connect you to your life force (your chi). Practicing yoga stretches in the morning and martial arts is a way to connect to and increase life force-to heal the body and increase the energy level and general well-being. That makes sense, doesn’t it?

However, they also said that the heart and soul meditation would provide more of an “instant wisdom hit,” for my purpose here wasn’t so much to “work with my chi but to work with the wisdom that comes from universal chi.”

In other words …

Yoga and the martial arts are best at increasing your body’s strength, life force and well-being …

While the heart and soul meditation is best at strengthening your connection with your higher self, accessing its wisdom and developing your intuition. (So that when you act by following your inner guidance, you have Divine will behind that action.)

In summary, yoga will help you focus on your breathing, calm your mind and may even help you reflect on your life, but will it activate your sacred space? If you want to strengthen your connection with your higher self and develop your intuition as quickly and easily as possible, you’ll want to use a meditation practice that connects you to your higher self as directly and as effectively as possible.
