Waking Up, Your Identity And How It Is Expanding, Part 4

Last time I mentioned about the use of physical feeling and the use of touch with your toes and feet. This last portion I wish to say only the following.

Over these next 20 years everyone on Earth - every human being - will be waking up and one of the things you will have as long as you can help in that process is that you will have on the Earth still, many animals. Not just your dogs and cats and pets but you will have many animals who live on the Earth on their own - be they the tiniest who walk about on many legs or be they the winged who fly overhead or be they the gilled who swim in the sea or in the lakes.

Please try and make sure that many of them are still with you over the next 20 years because the more you begin to use your feeling body walking about with your other fingers we call toes and touching and paying attention to what you touch - how does it feel, that's why babies get such delight in that and adults are taught to do things other ways in our times - but as you use your extra fingers (your toes) and pay attention to how it feels to walk and what your foot is touching (your extra hands) so you will become more conscious of the capacity to feel and know what is being touched.

You will become more intimate with the Earth so that it is not just a place to put structures but it is something that supports you and you will become more conscious of being a portion of something larger than you. Not just as a thought or philosophy as a part of some greater organism in your mind or some greater body of belief also in your mind and perhaps your heart but as a physical being you will be surrounded with other life forms who are also being supported by the Earth and you will see them. You will carefully avoid them when you are walking so they have their world as they avoid you when you are walking.

When you put your other fingers down and touch the Earth then you will be much more conscious of being a portion of Earth. Many of you know these things but I'm putting it into the context of waking up so that you will have something you can do to move through these times in a way that will be more welcoming and more comfortable.

We are born here on Earth in the way we are born. We are not born with shoes - thank heavens eh mother - and we are born thus very sensitive. Anyone who raises a baby knows how very sensitive they are to touch and how gentle you must be with them and how excited they are to touch things when they are able and how happy they are to move about on their own as best they can when they are young and crawl and touch and taste as babies do - with parents being careful or brothers and sisters watching over them. This contact that babies make is intended for adults as well.

We can wake up remembering all our skills and abilities through touch because the constant of touch will support our mind so our mind doesn't have to be the only vehicle by which we make the connection to who we are. We can make that connection with our hands and fingers, with our toes and feet for those portions of our body on our legs - our extra hands, our extra fingers are meant to keep us in contact with the Earth so that we might remember who we are through touch as well as through thought.

Goodlife and good remembering.

Waking Up, Your Identity And How It Is Expanding, Part 3

Now last time we started walking in a different way. Some of you have walked this way before and if you have and have noticed things then you can help your friends who are trying these things out. The reason I'm suggesting to walking in that fashion is because you are waking up eh. Now after you have tried what I recommended in part 2 then I want you to try something else.

When you find yourself at home again or wherever - alright - and you have that experience where you get up and go someplace or where you suddenly walk someplace and then you forget why you went there, and you will have that experience, then go back to where you were if you can and take your shoes and socks off and sit down or stand where you were.

Socially speaking this may not work in all situations but it may work at times - and standing there barefoot where you were try to get as close to where you actually were as possible or sitting where you were barefoot see, then you may remember because you will be perhaps in that bubble of identity. And if you do not remember then get up.

Try to get up the way you did before or move somewhat the way you did before and walk that path again to the space where you noted before that you didn't remember why you had moved into that area.

So walk that route again in the way I recommended in part 2 where you put your toes down and the ball of your foot down first. Walk along like that, feeling the floor or the ground under your feet. You may be aware that is perfectly safe and you don't have to pay attention to where you're going - perhaps there's carpet there or perhaps it's ground that you walk all the time and it's safe - but this time walk it that way feeling the ground or the carpet under your feet - paying attention in that fashion.

You can look at it but it's just as important to feel it with your toes, the ball of your foot and the heel of your foot when that comes down and walk it again like that. You might remember why you got up or why you moved suddenly into that space in case you had a moment of forgetting.

This is a very good way to consciously move towards waking up because it's something you can use that is physical. During the waking up process where you are moving from your identity on Earth, who you are, your name, what you do, your activities, all of that - when you move into being who you really are in your expanded state beyond Earth as an old and wizened soul - which you may very well be - you need to have more than your mind because your mind will remember who you are on Earth but it'll only have fleeting moments of awareness of who you are beyond Earth when your mind begins to function in your Earth conscious way moving from dream world to wakeful world - you see.

So your mind needs help and help is right there in the form of your physical feeling because when you are dreaming - when you're at the deep levels of dreaming you are with your teachers, you are in your soul form because your body is resting but your body does need to rest - your soul does not need to sleep.

The soul is your immortal personality. It travels, staying tethered by a cord to your physical body so your physical body does not get frightened and can rest and sleep but your soul travels and is with your teachers and your guides and looks around the universe touching base with old friends and becomes its wizened self but it lives in a world that is so far beyond our physical Earth lives that our minds cannot cope with this and that's why we need those moments of waking up and that slight confusion that comes with - who are we.

You will be able to use now with this touching with these other fingers, with these other hands - yes with your feet - you will be able to use something beyond your mind. Yes your mind but also your physical feeling as a means to move from who you have been taught to be on Earth and you will be able to do more through feeling.

More next time. Goodlife.

Waking Up, Your Identity And How It Is Expanding, Part 2

Now last time I spoke about waking up. This is what to do when you begin to have that phenomena I spoke about last time - alright?

First it's very important to begin to use your other hands and your other fingers. I'm sure you don't know what I'm talking about but the fingers* on your feet have the great capacity to connect you to the Earth in a moment to moment basis.

So, for everyone who can walk about safely and comfortably and even for those of you who must use canes or crutches to walk about it is of great value to walk about on the Earth barefoot. Not just because you can, as a child might run out in the grass and enjoy the feeling of the grass on their feet which is very good, but also because you can shift your sense of touch - or expand it is another way you might look at it - so that your body is very sensitive.

How to do that? Begin in a simple way. Many of you will have tender feet because you're not used to walking around on the earth or having your bare feet touch the grass or the sand or the dirt or the ground. First find a place where it's safe to do that - someplace in the shade or someplace cool so you won't get injured - preferably not on stone or concrete but if that's all there is available then make sure that it is cool. How? Reach down and touch it - alright - or ask someone else that is with you and doing this with you if you cannot bend over easily and have them check. As a last resort wash it down but I think it's better to just find it in the shade.

Then if you're walking on the ground or the sand that's where you'll be. Bring an object with you however - something with contour. Something that has form and shape and it isn't something that is breakable or something that you couldn't live without - alright? It could be anything - perhaps a plastic bottle with the cap attached - alright? Something like that. Something you can afford to lose - meaning if you forget about it and it's left there for a time it wouldn't be a problem.

You can be standing or sitting whatever you wish to do - if you're in a back yard that's fine and make sure that it's safe for you to walk around that yard first of course - scan about.

Pick up the bottle and close your eyes and move it around in your hands touching it, you see. Getting used to the sense of touch. Of course you know how to do that but this is to remind your body that this is what you're doing. You're not just thinking and moving, you're feeling and moving. There's a little difference there. Then you can open your eyes and put the bottle down on a table or what ever you have.

Then get up, you're barefoot you understand, and step out onto the lawn or onto the dirt or onto the sand or wherever you're stepping onto and touch what ever you're stepping on. Now naturally if you were walking barefoot without having done so very much you'd be very conscious of what's under you but you'd be nervous because your feet are tender. So it's alright to pay attention to what you're stepping on and you will notice a heightened sense of your physical awareness.

So move your feet in such a way as your forefoot and your toes are coming down first and then you can bring your heel down. This is just exactly the way you touched the bottle or whatever object. You picked it up and you felt it with your fingers.

So you're going to do the same thing feeling the ground with your foot fingers - or your toes eh? Reach the ground and touch with your toes and move slowly. You can pay attention to where you're putting your feet. Move around on the lawn or move around on the dirt or on the sand - wherever you're walking paying attention to putting your toes down first and the ball of your foot down first.

Your foot is actually meant to do that. It seems like it's meant to put your heel down first but that's not true. It's meant to put your toes and the ball of your foot down first. That's why you have those muscles there.

Your physical body has been built - created alright - provided to you by Creator in its form and also created by Mother Earth with her contribution to mother and father and your time of growing in mother - the form of your physical body is not an accident, not a happenstance of nature or science. It is all intended to be exactly the way it is.

So put your foot down that way and feel what you are walking on before you put your heel down - alright?

More next time. Goodlife.

*Quoted from Shamanic Secrets for Material Mastery, Chapter 22: How to Walk, How to Eat
by Speaks Of Many Truths through Robert Shapiro

"I'd like to suggest that you walk barefoot outside (that's the best way, but if you must be inside, then alright) on the front part of your foot with the back part raised up. First put down the front part, then the back part. When you do this I want you to imagine that you are walking on a platform, something being held in place for your benefit. I cannot tell you how helpful this is to give you a working physical feeling of balance."

Gently Influencing The Weather: Flood Part 2

Last time I spoke to you about engaging the sun. I want to elaborate on that a bit.

In order to truly welcome the sun it is important to engage it which in this case means to attract it.

If Mother Earth is cleansing herself with rain it is not for us to stop that process but sometimes because we, as human beings, become conditioned to things as we are often conditioned when we are young we become expectant of things to happen even if they are unpleasant or overwhelming.

It is this expectancy which creates an unintentional attachment to the least happening that is good and even expecting the worst. Granted, we might do this sometimes so that we are not disappointed in life but other times if a great many people are expecting the worst - meaning for it to continue raining and continue raining to the point of flood and beyond there must be some people who know how to engage the sun - in short how to attract it.

So this is what I recommend. You have perhaps studied welcoming the sun by now and even tried that out a little bit or at least considered how you might try it out at a time when it is needed. Engaging the sun is a little more so of that.

Here's how to do it. In order to engage the sun you must feel a kinship with it. This does not simply mean pretending to be the sun which others can teach effectively but it must be a kinship that feels safe.

I have mentioned this in other places - perhaps not on these blogs but I'm going to go over this now. This is a method you can use also to purify yourself - meaning to free yourself of energies and entities that may be harming you or could harm you not because they are malevolent but rather because they are lost or unable to find their way. Purification in this sense means that you will be able to release them from your energy body and they will be able to be transfered to where they need to be and it is a win-win for all.

Now this is what to do and the steps must be followed exactly as I've laid out to have the best effect. In this case the sun will not in any way be harmful to you because even though it is the sun in the sky, as we know it to be, the sun is not hot and we are not effected by the heat but rather we are effected benevolently by the light.

This is what to do. Picture yourself to the right of the sun and you can be standing or sitting and if possible actually feel yourself there. Those of you who've learned how to bilocate here, then here, and also here - that's the best way but if not visualize yourself to the right of the sun. Know that the sun will not be harmful. It is strictly a large light experience.

Now move very slowly. It will feel slow but it will take you about - maybe 30 to 40 seconds to move from the right to the left right through the sun and in that process - in that 30 to 40 seconds or maybe even in some cases a minute - possibly a little longer you will feel a lot of stuff fall away from you. And now move all the way through the sun.

As I say, if you can feel yourself moving through that mass of light it would be best but if you simply see it - as in a visualization that will be of some help as well.

When you are done moving from the right to the left simply be where you are - meaning if you are sitting or laying down and relax for a few moments and then open your eyes. See how you feel.

If it wasn't that good for you because it was a visualization then practice the bilocation as I've laid out before.

This is a good way to engage the sun because it allows you to feel the sun as something that is entirely desirable not just a light creating being in our world - alright.

So - when it is raining too much what you do especially if you can bilocate is you experience yourself moving through the sun and when you are doing that - you can be indoors by the way or outdoors, it doesn't make any difference - when you are doing that feel that good feeling you have because the sun has removed the discomfort from you and that friendly feeling will help you to welcome the sun to a greater degree on Earth where you are.

There is one last thing to do here. If you can say the following Living Prayer I recommend you say, "I am asking that all beings here in this area that is flooding or soon to flood feel a sense of great personal warmth and welcome for the sun and to expect the sun to be out, the sky to be blue, the ground to dry up as it is in its most benevolent state and for life to go on in the most benevolent way."

There is a follow up to that as well. When you see people, every time you hear someone say - the rain will never stop or other cynical statements simply say to them the following.

"The sun will be coming soon - expect it" or "I heard that the rain is going to lift and that it will be sunny soon." In short - it is like a suggestive statement you see but it is also to encourage people - alright. It is important to encourage and support people to not just believe something in the face of all evidence to the contrary but to encourage them to encourage others that the rain cycle can return to its normal state of being.

It is important to move beyond expecting the worst even if one is trying to avoid being disappointed. That way the cycle of cynicism can be broken and it is possible even to engage a cycle of optimism. I will say more about a cycle of optimism in times to come here.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

The Welcoming

Where have all the beautiful creatures gone? There has been concern for some time now about many different animals and plants species dying off. Recently - on news programs has been reported an alarming decrease in the number of bees.

This is something I have known about for some time. We all know that bees can be a little bit annoying sometimes and for some people actually dangerous and yet when you consider how, by their very needs and existence, they provide food for us by pollinating plants that we eat and through that pollination gather what they need to keep their fellow bees going and new generations to arrive we can see how valuable they are for us and simply to live in existence with each other.

How can we encourage the bees that we welcome them - this is the key.

If we are going to experience a thriving plant community so that we can eat and that other species can thrive because of the interconnectivity we have with bees and other species we must learn how to welcome them.

It is not sufficient to simply say - well, there are Africanized bees and they frighten us. We cannot simply dispose of whole colonies of bees and groups of other animals simply because we do not understand how they fit into our lives.

What can we do though - I am not here to point fingers at anyone saying that they are bad. What can we do to welcome the bees?

This is what I recommend - you have perhaps been welcomed somewhere or you have welcomed others to your home, to your office or to your life.

See if you can capture that feeling - meaning imagine being welcomed or imagine welcoming as you have welcomed before.

Hold that feeling within you and while you maintain the feeling - it is vital that you maintain the feeling - simply say, "I welcome all species of beings on this planet who are interdependent with human beings and with whom human beings are interdependent with."

It won't be easy because you will have to speak while you maintain a physical feeling. The words do not have to be precise but it is helpful.

I do not recommend that you have a picture of a bee or you imagine a bee. It is more important to say some version of the words while you maintain the feeling.

Now - in order to do this in the best possible way I recommend that the words be said outdoors where bees in energy might live, if not in the season that you are in, perhaps you are experiencing winter - then at some point.

If there are bees or other stinging creatures around and you are concerned for your well being you can say it indoors - that's also alright. This is what I recommend though in the case of bees.

Now there may be other animals or even plant species that you feel a kindred spirit with or that you feel because of their no longer being, many of them, that you feel their loss. You can do the same thing but you see - the need to do it may not be necessary there.

The request that you are making out loud and the feeling of welcoming welcomes all species. So I'm going to say that it will work for all species for which the species themselves might be interdependent with human beings but also and perhaps more importantly here in this case, for which human beings are dependent upon.

Give it a try, see if it works for you. Goodlife for you all and goodnight.

A Moment

On awakening from a deeper sleep we find that our perspective has changed and that that perspective has up to that point in time been one of theatre. The old saying - the theatre of life - yes but the theatre we have been in has encompassed a large part of our life.

This part of our life has had to do with how we relate to everything.

When we are born here on Earth we experience a great many things, some of them wonderful but a great deal of them are baffling and after a time we adapt to that which is wonderful yes but also to that which is baffling. We spend most of our life trying to find what is natural for us.

Think about it, all of us here - billions of people trying to find what is natural for us. In that process we explore many things.

Some have reminiscent feelings of what is natural - occasionally we find something that feels natural and that's good but now what is happening due to there being so many of us all looking for the same thing consciously or otherwise - Earth herself as she often does has responded to our need and she has created an energy within herself to assist that process.

So you might notice now and for a long time to come that for a few moments when you wake up in the morning if there is no alarm clock involved or if no one has woken you up suddenly that they'll be a few moments when you feel as if you are in a unusual space and that space is the natural space.

You may feel, not everyone will at the same time but you may feel that sense of being in your natural world. When that occurs just know, Mother Earth is trying to help you. See if you can memorize that feeling.

Your body will be completely relaxed and you will feel as close to peace as you have ever felt. See if you can memorize that feeling so that if it occurs during your life - during your working life and during your relationship life and during your fun life that that is a reminder that it is possible to integrate into your life.

Examine the moment - what has prompted it? I will say more about this in time.

Goodlife.
