Juan O Savin, Divine Guidance and Who to Trust

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.

Interpreting Dreams – The Key to Understanding Your Dreams

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedin

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.

Tips for Remembering Your Dreams

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedin

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.

Fires, Masking and Taking Back Your PowerCZU Fires from Saratoga Side August 19, 2020

Fires, Masking and Taking Back Your Power

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedin

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.

CZU fire Thank you firefighters
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.

A Sign of Mass Awakening

FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedin

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.

Jon Rappoport Audio

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.

Yoga and Your Higher Self

Share this
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.

The Power of Prince’s Belief in His Vision—And How You Can Get That Kind of Power

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedinPrince's Power

Noah St. John, author of the Book of Afformations, recently wrote about Prince’s belief in himself and in his vision: Prince’s belief in himself was so strong that he signed a recording contract at the age of 19.  Then he fought for—and got—total creative control over his first three albums. (Which is kind of unheard of in the record industry.)

Noah writes about Prince’s belief in himself, “I believe in myself and understand my vision better than any of you do. So I’m going to do things the way I want to do them.”

Then Noah asked his community, What about you? Do you believe in yourself? Have you stood up for your vision?

In this article, I’m sharing an example of how signs from the Universe helped me stand up for my vision, and how you can harness the power of Prince for your vision, too.

So, early in 2007, I hired a top-rate editor in the spiritual niche to edit a book I was writing. Although she was tops in her field and I was open to her input, I knew my book needed a “light” editing—meaning language and grammar and tense—rather than content editing. I was confident my book was a memoir of my spiritual reconnecting process as the Universe had supported the writing of each page. What I mean is that crazy amazing, favorable synchronicities happened almost daily that became content for my book, once I had tapped into the reconnecting / creative process. It’s how my book got written.

(Read on, a sample of one of those amazing synchronicities is coming up shortly …)

My editor recommended I write a “how-to” book instead, rather than a memoir of my process. After all, she explained, you’re an unknown. (So was Prince, by the way, before his albums went platinum.)

We exchanged a few email conversations and I finally convinced her I needed to do it my way. This was a book on intuition; I had tapped into intuitive flow; it only made sense to honor my intuition, my higher self’s guidance, I had explained. It’s how my book got written. She finally agreed.

But then, rather than honoring her word to edit my manuscript as we had agreed, she spent hours rewriting it. She deleted my wonderful, true-life examples and repeated a bland, Buddhist-inspired message over and over again that I wasn’t even in agreement with—exactly what I asked her not to do. Then she sent me a big fat invoice.

Well, since she hadn’t honored her agreement, I could only use maybe half of her work. I sent her a letter explaining the issues, including references to our previous emails, and paid her slightly more than half of the invoice. I thought I was both generous and fair.

Adamant that I pay every penny, she threatened legal action against me. But I chose to stick to my convictions. I knew I was in the right.

Two months later, I received a letter from a collection agency. Further research on standard industry practices confirmed I had a decent case. I wrote the agency a letter explaining the matter.

Then she wrote the agency, stating that in her 38 years of service, nobody had ever taken issue with any of her invoices, or advice.

I wrote another letter in rebuttal, thinking that would be the end of that.

But the case wasn’t closed. About a month later, at the end of June 2007, I received a letter from a law firm in San Francisco. Too upset to even look at what was inside, I shoved it unopened in between the seats of my car.

But then a few days later, while working on polishing my manuscript and listening to music over the radio online, I got an intuitive message to go get the letter out of my car. (I usually didn’t listen to the radio while writing as it’s distracting, but I was “inspired” to do so that day. Just following my intuition, I was …)

Walking back from my car with the dreaded letter in hand, I was informed that if the balance of the editor’s bill wasn’t paid immediately, a lawsuit would be filed against me. Furthermore, additional amounts would be owed in the event of litigation.

I have never been sued before, so this was disturbing and upsetting. Furthermore, I was now risking lawyers’ fees in addition to the original balance, and I only had a small sum of money to launch my book project.

I trudged back into my house disheartened, heading towards my bedroom, back to my computer, my spirits crushed. Nobody believed in me. And not only did my editor not believe in me, she was now going to sue me …

But as I walked into my bedroom, the first words I heard were: She a-howlin’ about the front rent, she’ll be lucky to get any back rent, she ain’t gonna get none of it!–of course sung by “Bad to the Bone” George Thorogood.

I knew this was a sign from the Universe as these sorts of things happened to me almost daily, sometimes several times a day, when I was writing my book!

I felt inspired immediately and wrote a letter to the law office explaining exactly why I wouldn’t be paying the balance. And I’m telling you, I haven’t heard from the lawyers or the editor since.

I self-published my book so I could have it the way I wanted it, the way the Universe was showing me to do it, and later it was recognized by conventional publisher North Atlantic Books as one of four “notable spiritual awakening memoirs” of the last several years, along with Eat Pray Love, The Happiness Project, and Star Sister.

Now … what about you? Do you have a vision for your life, a vision that comes from your heart and soul, but not a whole lot of support from the people around you? I’m here to tell you that when you reconnect with your higher self and follow your inner guidance, the Universe itself will show you it supports you. Your stronger relationship with your higher self will empower you and charge you up with the power of Prince. And that’s because the Universe supports the dreams that arise from your soul.

Connecting With Your Higher Self–What’s the Point, Anyway?

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedinconnect with your higher selfLast weekend, at a New Living Expo expert panel discussion on cultivating conscious awareness, a gentleman in the audience asked, how do you connect to your higher self?

From the responses of the panelists, it’s obvious to me that when it comes to understanding the higher self and what it means to connect to one’s higher self,  we’re still really not all that advanced. I’ll explain why.

First, let’s examine the question asked by the gentleman in the audience: “Can you tell me how we can connect to our higher self?”

Well, the truth is, you’re already connected to your higher self. If you weren’t, you’d be dead.

So the real question he asked goes beyond simply being connected to his higher self, because he already is connected.

So why do you suppose he asked that question?

Most likely, the real reason he wants to connect to his higher self is that his life isn’t working all that well. Maybe he’s experiencing challenges in his personal relationships, or at his job, or maybe his life isn’t as fulfilling as he’d like it to be.  Maybe he’s looking at the state of the world (and the state of his world) and it depresses him. Maybe his relationship with himself isn’t all that hot, either, and his hope is that by connecting with his higher self, he’ll receive the insight and the guidance that’ll begin to turn things around for him. (Why else do people want to connect to their higher selves, anyway?)

So the question the man asked the panel isn’t really about how he can connect to his higher self, is it? No. The real question is, how does he connect to his higher self so that he feels connected and he experiences being connected and his higher self guides him in his life daily and he experiences the manifestation of this higher power / higher consciousness in his life daily and his life gets transformed as a result of this connection.

So the real question is: how does he strengthen the relationship he has with his higher self so that it becomes as real to him as any of his other relationships?

The panelists responded to his question, “How do you connect to your higher self?” but I can’t see how the answers they gave him could have helped him all that much: Go within, was one answer. Get into a state of deep consciousness.

It has to do with sound frequencies, was another answer.

Tune your antennae, was another answer.

You have a connection between your heart and your brain. The heart helps you access it, was another response.

You access it with your emotional state, yet another response.

(Answers we’ve all heard a million times before–which means they’re not all that effective at actually helping you gain access to that higher consciousness.)

I think we all can agree that it takes more than just meditation or tuning into special sound frequencies to effect life transformation.

True, it does begin with having a certain level of awareness and yes, you do want to have an effective meditation that connects the heart with the soul (your current life with your infinite life, respectively), and yes, there are important steps you take after that. Such as, paying attention to a certain area in your body (your “sacred space”) and following through with your inner guidance promptly and consistently.

And there’s more you you should be aware of. For example, how are you going to gain the courage to follow through with your intuition promptly and consistently if your inner guidance doesn’t make logical sense to you? Or if it’s inconvenient for you to do so? Or if you don’t know what’s possible when one follows through with one’s intuition as you don’t have a whole lot of real-life examples of this and all of this is new to you?

Or what if you don’t even recognize your inner guidance, or can’t distinguish it from your mental conditionings or fears? (Most people have ignored their inner guidance / intuition for so long that the connection is very weak.)

The truth is, every time you ignore your intuition you weaken your relationship with your higher self, give up your power, and possibly, place yourself in some kind of trouble. (This is probably what prompted that gentleman to ask his question.)

Craziest Intuition Story Ever: The Power of Intuition for Transforming Your Life

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedin

At an event I attended last month (March 2016), I heard Dr. Sean Stephenson share an incredible story about what happened when he followed an intuitive urge he thought was—to say the least—strange.

You might have heard of Sean before. He’s the three-foot tall motivational speaker / psychotherapist who’s been on TED talks and TV and who gets around in a wheel chair.

Born with a rare brittle bone disorder, doctors didn’t expect him to live more than 24 hours. His leg bones are so fragile they don’t support his weight. Just sneezing can fracture his ribs.

But Sean not only proved the doctors wrong, he became a motivational speaker at the young age of 17. He even got his PhD so that he could better help those people who, after his talks, approached him for advice on personal issues. These days, he also coaches public speakers. And this is where Sean’s amazing story begins …

So it’s near the end of January (2016) and Sean is staying at a hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona. He and his group of five or six mastermind clients (who are working together for one year, paying Sean a handsome fee of $40,000 for the privilege) are meeting the next morning for an intense workshop on public speaking. One of the members of the group can’t be present as he’s having open-heart surgery where he lives in Long Beach, California.

At four in the morning at the hotel, Sean awakens to the voice of his intuition telling him to change the day’s agenda. Instead of working in a hotel room as usual, he is to gather the group together and drive the seven hours to visit with the one member who’s about to have heart surgery.

Yes, he heard that right. Drive to Long Beach, visit with their friend for a few minutes, hug him, wish him well. Then drive seven hours back to Scottsdale.

Sean’s thinking, what? No way! That’s just wonky! (His words.)

But the inner voice persists and won’t let him sleep. In the morning, Sean decides to enroll his group in the new plan. But how will he enroll them?

By asking a loaded question, of course. “Friends, how much do you trust me?” he asks the group. Then he informs them about the new plan: they’ll drive to Long Beach, give their friend a hug, and then drive back to Scottsdale.

Because they trust Sean, everyone’s on … that is, except for one lady. But she goes up to her hotel room, has a bitch fit and cries. And then she comes down a half hour later, ready to go.

Van service is ordered and things get more wonky: the van’s driver is a paraplegic.

But no worries. The paraplegic has all the safety features and controls and he’s an awesome driver. It’s just that at the age of 17, a terrible car accident left him paralyzed. Anyway, with not a moment to waste, they all pile into the van.

But … there’s another little problem: there are more passengers than car seats. Which means brittle-bones Sean can’t sit in his child-sized car seat. He’ll just have to sit in someone’s lap, it’s decided.

One of Sean’s female clients happily volunteers. A former prostitute, meth-addict, and alcoholic, they met nine years ago. He helped transform her life, and ever since then she’s been telling the world that Sean had saved her life. (Of course she’d be the one to volunteer …)

After the seven hour road trip, the group arrives in Long Beach and visits with their friend. He’s astonished to see them, of course. They hug him, wish him well, and his heart gets filled. (And what better way to go into heart surgery than with a full heart?)

It’s time to return to Scottsdale. They pile into the van … with Sean sitting in the former prostitute / meth-addict / alcoholic’s lap again.

Partway back, Sean unbuckles himself and turns around to talk to the three people in the back, one of whom is a soft-spoken, quiet Asian lady from Canada. He wants to make sure she and the other two people in the back are okay. (After all, they flew in for Sean’s coaching, not a road trip to California.) And as he’s facing the back of the van, a terrible, terrible noise assaults his senses. Did they just hit a metal garbage can in the middle of the highway?

But it sure as heck wasn’t a garbage can. Swerving into their lane out of the blue came a tractor trailer. Everyone saw it except for Sean, who happened to be facing the back in that moment.

I don’t have the exact details on the collision, but the tractor trailer struck the van, lodged it underneath somehow and dragged it along. At the moment of impact one of the guys in the back flew forward and struck the window; the other passengers got jerked around. So they were being dragged by this tractor trailer and it took  f o r e v e r  for it to finally stop, explained Sean.

As you can imagine, Sean’s mind was spinning. Is this what his intuition guided him into? Him and his mastermind speaking group? What in the world? …

But wait. They’re all alive, waiting for first response to arrive. And when the first police officer arriving at the scene recognizes Sean, things get really wonky.

“Hey, I know you!” the first response officer says. “You’re Sean Stephenson! Dude! I can’t believe it’s you! I’m a big fan of yours and I follow you on Facebook.” He goes on and on about being a fan of Sean’s…

But then later, after evaluating the situation, the police officer explains that if Sean were in his child seat, he would have broken his ribs … and things could have been much worse. (Now, that’s not to say car seats don’t save many lives. They do. It’s just that this situation was you might say unique.)

Plus, if Sean had been facing forward at the time of the collision, he would have seen what was coming and tensed up, which would have made him more prone to injury. Since he was facing backward and unaware of the impending crash, his body was totally relaxed.

And because the former prostitute / meth addict / alcoholic was facing forward and was aware of what was happening, she held onto Sean and absorbed all the energy of the impact, so that Sean was left with not even a bruise.

And … after all these years of telling the world that Sean had saved her life, she now knows that she had saved his.

So she has karmic closure.

And the paraplegic … well, he just happened to save all of their lives. He had experienced a terrible accident in his youth so he knew what to do. He did not panic, and he kept the van steady during the collision and dragging. Because of him, they got away with minor injuries.

Which means the paraplegic has karmic closure, too.

And the mastermind speakers who went along with Sean’s new plan? What about them? Well, Sean explained to them, “Hey guys, you all just doubled your speaking fees!”

Which means the day’s work got done after all …

So …

What does this story mean for you?

Does it give you a sense of wonder … and new hope for humanity?

Does it show you, without a doubt, there’s more to life than what we currently know or believe?

Does it show that following your inner guidance can bring resolution to your life? Can bring blessings and karmic closure?

And does that motivate you to connect within … learn to trust your intuition, and gain the courage it takes to follow it?

If you’ve ever read my articles or my book, What Everyone Believed: A Memoir of Intuition and Awakening, you know I’ve had my share of crazy intuition stories.

You know I’ve been telling the world that connecting within and following our inner guidance (meaning, putting our higher self in the driver’s seat of our life) is THE KEY to transforming our lives.

(It’s obvious Sean’s higher self is in the driver’s seat of his life. And by the way, the same is true for Sir Richard Branson, I found out earlier this week. Richard Branson makes business deals without accountants or lawyers, but with his intuition.)

Well, I have some good news to share with you …

Not long ago, I found out that What Everyone Believed: A Memoir of Intuition and Awakening was recognized by publisher North Atlantic Books as one of “four notable spiritual awakening memoirs.” (Along with Eat Pray Love and The Happiness Project—which both sold millions of copies.)

Which tells me my book should be selling in the seven figures, too …

(Yes, the great shift in consciousness—the former name of my blog—is starting to take place …)

So if you don’t have a copy, you’ll want to order one today. Just click on “Spiritual Awakening Memoir” in the menu above and scroll down till you get to the Amazon button. Click the Amazon button and you’ll be taken to my book’s page on Amazon.

Reading it helps connect you to your intuition and increases your confidence so you follow through! So you experience new insights, favorable synchronicities, and the blessings you deserve!

How Meditation Helps You Be The Change You Want To See In The World

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedinMy last post, “The Bigger Picture And Divine Plan – It’s Not What You Think It Is,” which is about the importance of fulfilling your higher purpose as well as the idea that you won’t consciously know what your individual, specific higher purpose is (and you certainly won’t be able to understand the bigger picture)–not until you have made it a practice of following through with your inner guidance daily and then seeing what happens over a period of time–generated a few comments from people thanking me for the reminder for them to make it a practice of meditating daily and listening to their higher guidance. (Whew! That was a lot to cover in one sentence!)

My friend Joshua Tilghman, who is the force behind The Spirit of the Scripture blog, wrote,

“Good post, Christine. I just wanted to add that the process can be sped up a little by living in the NOW and daily meditation.”

Another person shared that she wishes she could make daily meditation a habit, instead of doing it once or a couple times a month.

I agree that daily meditation is the place to begin. However, it is worth examining what your intention behind your daily meditation is. Is your intention behind meditation about receiving higher guidance for your daily life that you will then follow? Or is it because meditation is part of our pop culture now and a “spiritual” thing to do? Or is your intention something else altogether?

Most people have to learn to meditate, they have to learn to focus on hearing that inner guidance, that still, small voice within. Daily meditation (a deliberate and intentional connecting with your higher self / higher guidance) is often needed in order to overcome the very strong inertia and habit of ignoring our inner guidance. (I know this because before I made a conscious commitment over a decade ago to meditate and then follow through with my inner guidance consistently I ignored much of it. And then I noticed that what often happened is that I would feel regret or remorse that I had ignored it; I would regret not having followed through with my intuition in the moment, regret having ignored it or put it off due to simple procrastination or the habit of “remaining small.” And the reason I regretted it is that I realized I had lost some kind of an opportunity that would have given me and those around me joy, or else I got myself into some sort of trouble that made my life more complicated.)

So what did I do to overcome that powerful inertia? Besides making it a practice of meditating 10 to 15 minutes right before I went to sleep at night and right after I awakened (I did the heart and soul meditation described in a post I wrote early on in this blog), several times a day I stopped what I was doing (just for about 30 seconds to a minute) and focused on what I was feeling in my “sacred space” at the moment. What was my heart feeling? Was I feeling or sensing anything different in the center of my chest? Was there any guidance for me to follow at the moment? I had already by then made the commitment to follow through with my inner guidance and now was “checking in” with my higher self, learning to pay attention to subtle feelings, learning to anticipate guidance so that when it came, this time I’d be “on it,” this time I’d follow through. There would be no regrets.

Meditation does not have to be hard, you don’t need to be a “pro” at it, and you don’t need to do it the “right” way, i.e. sitting Indian style with fingers in the right place. It’s not about that at all, I discovered. I tried it the “traditional” way years before and it didn’t work for me and then I “meditated” in bed lying down, right before I fell asleep at night and a little when I woke up. That (and the strong desire to hear and follow through with my higher guidance) was all I needed to finally get things rolling, meaning, experiencing favorable, sometimes amazing synchronicities, new insights, new inspired actions, new connections, plenty of personal growth, as well as feelings of joy and expansion, regularly. In other words, you are being the change you want to see in the world. (Isn’t this why we meditate?)

When you hear the inner voice and you DON’T follow through, well that’s not helping you go forward at all, you’re just remaining stuck in the same old place.

Regarding “Living in the Now,” being connected to that divine part of you and following through with your guidance NOW (promptly, in the moment) is what “Living in the Now” is about. It’s about not worrying about the future because you know that by taking care of what there’s to take care of today you’re transforming your future and you’re being the change you want to see in the world.

What will you do today that will help you be the change you want to see in the world? Don’t put it off any longer!
