Dark Skies and Shining Stars

Time exists as an experience.

You are experiencing physical reality which is defined by space and time. So, the idea is that you do have the power to accelerate things, but the way you accelerate things is by learning your lessons more quickly. By accepting whatever is going on in your life, by using it in a positive way instead of saying, “This doesn’t belong here.” Because even if you manifest something that you objectively don’t prefer, it’s still there for a reason. And if you don’t accept that it’s there for a reason and containing a lesson you need to learn, then you’re not using it in the way that will use it up and accelerate the experience you’re having. So, it’s the refusal to accept what you don’t prefer as a lesson to learn something from that makes it slow down and take longer. Do you see the paradox?

That can be part of it, but that may not always be all of it. So, you have to go deeper, and you have to really pay attention to your responses and your reactions to whatever it is that does happen.

In particular, whatever manifests that you don’t prefer, pay attention to your response and ask, “Why am I responding this way to what just manifested? What does that illuminate for me in terms of what I believe to be true about myself in this experience?” You have to fully use up whatever happens in order for it to be used up and to then change and shift more quickly to the next thing that needs to be there to bring the next lesson.

Earth is a soul school, a university, a universe city. So, the idea is it is your campus. You have decided to take certain courses and you really must complete the homework, so to speak. You really must do the work of understanding what the lesson is by examining your response to whatever is going on, so you have more clarity and insight and transparency with why you believe what you believe, why you feel what you feel, why you behave the way you behave and why you respond to everything the way that you do.

That insight into knowing yourself is the key to truly accepting anything and everything in your life that happens. Not that you have to prefer it, but that you have to understand there is a reason for it to be there. There’s a reason why it manifested and that reason usually is it brings a lesson of more insight into your response and your reaction to that thing and that is what you really have to look at more deeply.

Ask yourself, what am I afraid will happen if I did manifest something that I prefer? you always choose immediately in the direction of what you believe serves you, you always move away immediately from what you believe does not serve you.

So, if you can intellectually recognize that you may be choosing something that doesn’t serve you, you have to understand that the only reason you would do that is because you have a belief that says it is the lesser of two evils and that you have labeled what you say would serve you as something that actually would cause something to happen that’s worse than what you’re experiencing now. It’s scarier.

So, you have to wonder and ask, “Why am I defining this thing I say is what I prefer as being scarier than what it is I am continually choosing now to be afraid of?” Because what I am choosing now somehow by comparison feels safer. And you will always choose what you believe is safer even if it’s what you don’t prefer.

So, you examine and say, “What would I believe has to happen if I did in fact manifest what I prefer? What lessons am I learning in this? How can I become more of who I am and let more of my soul self through this physical form? And in what way can I choose the definitions that will allow you to move forward instead of being afraid of what might happen if in fact what I say I prefer did in fact manifest?

Because if there is something there that you believe is scarier than what you’re already choosing, you will never move forward until you define what that is.

Anything that you are passionate about that you are willing to take action on raises your frequency, which raises your consciousness. Because when you raise your frequency, what happens?

You become a better antenna and a better receiver for higher frequency information and downloads and inspirations. A

When you’re willing to act on those when they come to you, raises your ability to do more. So, that’s why we often suggest that you first and foremost act on what you’re most passionate about. It will lead you into everything else that needs to happen. It’s a complete kit. It leaves nothing important out.

Well, that’s simply because of the chemical reactions that you’re going through because your body has gotten used to certain patterns. It may take a little time, that’s all right. But again, different things can help—meditation, breathing exercises, other kinds of things can be of assistance as a tool, as a permission slip. But remember, you are the ultimate permission slip.

And in a sense, remember, a lot of it has to do with how you define your experiences. Because when you say, “I am depressed and I need an antidepressant,” you are immediately defining the experience in a negative way, which then makes it seem as if you need some help getting out of it.

But if you understand that it’s very natural for all of you to go into not depression, but compression, when you can’t find the answers you seek outside, you go to where you know the answers reside, within. You withdraw, you reevaluate, you reexamine, you investigate yourself.

That’s compression. You search within to find the answers that you seek. And that’s a natural thing. And then you find them, you rework yourself, redefine yourself, and you reemerge a new person ready to move forward.

But when you withdraw and society says, “Oh, you’re withdrawing. There’s something wrong with you,” and you start to believe that, then you start defining that natural act of inner seeking as depression. And then you get caught up in the whole cycle of the negative definition. And now you think you need something else to help you out of it, and so on and so forth.

The idea is to start defining your experiences in more positive ways. Not that you start calling negative things positive things, but that you understand that you are powerful enough to get a positive result out of anything that manifests.

So why not start by knowing that if you stay in a positive state and use positive definitions about why something happens the way that it does, then you’ll be able to get a benefit from it. It will download information that will allow you to know how to relate to it, and you will be on a more positive track with it instead of succumbing to the negative definitions that only spiral you farther downward.

I’m not telling you not to use the permission slip, but I’m simply saying ultimately you will realize that you are the permission slip because anything in physical reality, even the idea you call chemicals, even the idea you call drugs, are not actually doing anything really.

there is such a thing as a chemical response, but it’s your belief system that allows it to actually work that way for you because there are many people that would have absolutely no effect whatsoever by ingesting something like that.

So, it’s all about what you’ve been taught to believe is true and what you think you need for help right now and that’s fine if you feel you need the permission slip to help you, by all means do so. I’m simply letting you know that at some point you’re going to wake up to the realization that it’s always been about you actually changing your state of being rather than anything that the drug has ever done.

Because you’re going to start seeing that physical reality in a sense is just a play act. It’s just a neutral prop. Whatever you hold, all tools, all techniques, all disciplines, all objects in physical reality are just permission slips that you have a belief system aligned with that says, “If I do this, I can give myself permission to be more of who I am.”

But ultimately you get to the point where you realize that you’re the one giving yourself permission anyway and that whatever it is you’re using as a technique, a tool, or a physical object is just a neutral prop that you are imbuing with meaning and it’s your meaning that creates the effect that is changing within you.

So, we’re just giving you the underlying reason why it seems to work, but you have to understand there’s a very big difference between what you experience as the reason and what the actual underlying mechanical cause is of the effect that it gives you. Because those can be two very different things, and when you realize that it’s just a prop, you will realize that you are the one in charge of deciding what that prop will or won’t do for you.

So, that’s up to you in your own pacing and your own timing. But again, understand this is what you’ve put on your life path as a soul. These are the lessons you want to learn. These are the challenges you set up for yourself, and that’s all well and good. I simply encourage you to enjoy every part of that experience and find the positive effect in it that will benefit you. But that’s up to you.

I’m not saying you’ll necessarily wind up there or you may wind up there temporarily on some sort of assignment or something.

1. if it is something that is representative of your passion, do what you can to move in that direction. Remember, sometimes excitement will come in the form, not because that form has to come to fruition, it’s just that it comes in that form, excuse the language, to get you off your butt, because that’s what you will respond to.

That’s what you’ll take action on, so that you’ll ultimately wind up where you actually need to wind up, so that what really needs to happen can actually happen. That’s number one.

2. if it is part of your excitement to have a family, then actually acting on your passion would automatically include them in whatever your passion is, and your passion will mesh with their passions as well, if they’re being true to themselves, because no one that is important to you is left out in the vibration of passion.

So, you have to understand how passion works, so you will not have these ideas like, I can be following my passion, but I’m going to leave my family behind. That doesn’t mesh. That doesn’t work. That’s not the definition of passion.

Unless you just don’t like your family.

Why do humans associate the idea of moving forward only to the situation where certain things you don’t prefer will no longer crop up?

Acting on your passion comes with the reflective mirror that reveals to you anything still within your belief system that is out of alignment with who you are. If you react negatively to the fact that that may still be happening, then you’re not getting the point.

The point is to be excited about discovering things that are not your preference within your belief system because only by knowing that they’re there can you finally let them go.

Otherwise, they do remain in your unconscious mind because you think you’re supposed to be beyond that kind of an experience. No one is beyond anything. You will always have a new lesson. You will always keep growing.

That will never end and never stop. So, you might as well get used to the fact that you’re going to continue to discover things within yourself that may not always be to your preference and you will do so up to the point that you die. And that is what a life is all about. It’s about the journey, not about the destination.

So, appreciate what you discover for its own sake and for the lesson that it gives you and understand that learning that lesson and moving on to the next one is the entire point.

When you go back into your soul self in the non-physical spirit realm, you will understand this more clearly, but the idea right now is that you have the capability of understanding this process by allowing the process itself to be the whole point of why you chose to have this physical experience and not something you’re supposed to get past or beyond.

I’m not saying it can’t improve in certain ways and can’t be more fulfilling and joyful, but the idea again is that whatever does come your way, even if it’s something that’s out of alignment with what you prefer, it’s part of the process and it’s there for a reason. So, use it to your advantage instead of assuming that you’re supposed to be beyond this.

Well, that’s where you have to develop a creative imagination and find a way to relate to something and define it in a way that works for you. Every single one of you have a unique way that works for you.

If you feel yourself stuck, frustrated, overwhelmed, that should be your first clue that you’re not doing something in the way that uniquely works for you.

You just have to use your creative imagination and open it up to find out what might exist on your planet that would be a way that works for you more fluidly and if you can’t find one, you may actually have to be the one that invents that path. So, use your creative imagination and invent the path if you can’t find one that works for you in moving forward.

Any situation that crops up, any challenge that you face, face it with the four C’s. Stay calm, be confident that there is a message there for you, be curious as to what that message is and what you’re going to learn that’s going to move you forward and be creative about how you approach it so that you can stay in a positive state and allow the information to actually come through in a beneficial way.

Live in peace and love and be the shining example for others to give them an opportunity to see in you another way they could choose to be. However, understand that just because you can observe them doesn’t mean you’re in the same reality. You cannot be affected by them unless you choose to be affected, unless you choose to match your vibration to their vibration, unless you choose what they’re offering and lower your vibration to their level.

You cannot be affected by anyone. The only energy you ever experience is your own energy. So, if you see something that you don’t prefer, don’t match its frequency, simply understand that you continue to be a loving, positive person that gives them the opportunity to look at you and say, “Maybe I would like to choose that instead.” However, you must remember this. Whatever it is you show to another, whatever it is you share with another, whatever they decide to do with that information or that opportunity, and whatever they decide not to do with it, is none of your business. Because you don’t know their life path.

You don’t know the lessons that their soul is going to learn by doing what they’re doing. And sometimes, because of the way humanity has functioned for tens of thousands of years, you actually sometimes need souls to choose to come into a physical incarnation as a negative disruptor. Because if they do that often enough, maybe, just maybe, humanity will finally say, “We are tired of this. Let’s finally do something about changing this instead of doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over again.”

Look at it as a stage play. On the stage play you are watching from the audience, you have the hero and you have the villain and they play their parts and they tell a story and you feel exhilarated by the story they’re telling and you see the idea of the hero vanquishing the villain. All right, and you walk out and you feel exhilarated and you feel justified in that, but then you realize that they are just actors on a stage playing a part and that after the play is over both the actor playing the hero and the actor playing the villain are actually friends and they go out and have a beer together.

That’s what will happen when you finally unite back in non-physical reality. You’ll say you played your part very well and it made a difference because it finally got some people off their butts to do something about making sure that this behavior never occurs in humanity in the future. That’s how it works.

They’re there for you to discover things. They’re there for you to use whatever they have to offer. There are many resources out in the universe and this is one of the reasons why no extraterrestrial ever has to come to Earth saying, “We want your planet. We want to take you over.”

There are trillions and trillions and trillions of times more resources out in the universe than you have on your world. Therefore, we have unlimited resources out here on the planets that don’t necessarily have life on them and they also have their own lessons to teach in certain ways. Once humanity gets out there with us, you’ll find that out.

Why do you trust other people more than trusting yourself?

It’s all right to trust yourself. But that’s what you need to focus on. You need to start learning how to trust yourself. And when you really are trusting yourself and are more transparent to yourself, remember, goes back to the ancient phrase, “Know thyself.” And when you really know who you are, you will start trusting that, and that will give you more ability to discern more quickly what the vibrations are that are coming from another person and whether you prefer them or not.

You will be a little bit more circumspect about what you’re hearing. You’ll be able to hear more clearly what’s being said. You’ll be able to psychically and vibrationally start picking up on what the intention of another person actually is, rather than succumbing to what you wish it would be, because you don’t trust your senses. So, you need to practice trusting yourself and therefore trust your senses a little bit more clearly. So, take the time to practice that. There’s no rush. There’s no hurry. Enjoy the time you spend honing these abilities.
