Whose Truth is True?

by Jennifer Hoffman -

We spend our lives wanting to know the truth because as we are told, 'the truth shall set us free.' But as we search for the truth we begin to see that there is not a single truth, everyone has a different version of the truth and even in our own lives, that which we think of as true can change many times. So what is true and what is not true? If a truth changes, was it ever true in the first place? Will we ever know the truth? And when we know the truth, what happens to everything else we have known up to that time?

The truth is everything we believe based on all of our knowing and experience up until that moment in time. While we look for the truth as the final answer, it is actually what allows us to ask the next question. Truth repeats itself, like an endless loop, until we uncover a new truth that allows us to move forward, beyond the former truth. Each truth leads to another truth and for each of us, that truth is highly personal and so individualized that it can only be true for us. While our truth is true for us, everyone's truth is also true, for them. Can we connect with others from the point of our own truth? We can when our truth has points in common and there is no doubt present.

The truth that we deserve love, for example, is true for us. And we must have an unshakable belief in this truth to attract love. But what happens if we find someone who doesn't believe we are lovable? Is our truth still true? What about their truth? Is it true for us too? Our truth is not affected when it cannot be validated by someone else, it simply means that it isn't true for them. They can't validate that we are lovable because they must have a corresponding truth-that they are lovable. If they do not hold that truth, then they cannot validate it for someone else. But we take this as a sign that our truth is not true and use it to judge ourselves, our truths, our being and our life. Whoever we ask to validate our truth must have a corresponding truth. If not, they cannot validate ours. So the person who cannot accept you as lovable has issues with accepting themselves as lovable.

When we want others to validate our truth we are taking truth down a path that it wasn't meant to follow.

Because when we ask others to establish what is true for us, we are speaking from our doubt instead of faith in our own truth. If we can't convince ourselves of our truth, we won't find anyone to do the job for us. What do you believe is true about you? Can you hold that truth no matter how others respond or react? Are you able to create from your truth in this moment and know that once you have made this true, you are ready for the next step on your life? Find your truth about yourself, engrave it permanently on your heart and within your being so you hold fast to your truth and use it to manifest your life in the way you want to live it.

New Hope: Letting Go & Moving On

by Carl Mason-Liebenberg -

Life deals us all some tough blows. What are some of yours? Childhood abuse? Financial ruin? A failed marriage? Maybe missed opportunities? Are there regrets that you cling to? People or circumstances that you blame?

Regrets and blame are like ghosts and demons of our past. They haunt us, leaving us bound behind bars and in shackles of un-forgiveness where fear, shame and all their siblings determine the course our lives. They force us to cling to things that are no longer, disallowing us to move forward in the hope of what lies ahead.

I've experienced so many traumas in my life and for seasons, I have become the captive of regret and blame; for allowing the difficulties into my life; for social and relationally perceived failures; for somehow deserving the offences I have endured or caused. I've been surrounded with bars, through which I could see revealing a world that is waiting for me, held me in bondage to what has been and is no longer. Even when the prison doors were opened anger, resentment, and bitterness have held me in bondage. Surely, you can identify.

Today marks a new mile marker in my life. 44 years ago my journey began. I have enjoyed many breathless highs and many dark lows along the way. Through it all I found a renewed hope for tomorrow.There is a new a fire and passion to move on, to be content with the past, to carry no regrets, to understand that my strengths are honed in my weaknesses, to discover a peace with myself. In fact, I think that was the theme of my 43rd year. I guess, today for some unknown reason, I just see it more clearly.

There is nothing left to fear, nothing more to lose but there is EVERYTHING to gain as this journey has shown me what is truly real. The truth finally lies clearly before me and I am now free to walk into the light of freedom to be all that God ever intended for me to be; to live and love authentically; to know my heart, embrace its desires and passions; to seize every possibility that rises from the abundance of gifts and blessings I have received; to bask in the storehouse of treasures set aside just for me.

I didn't come to this place easily. This point in my life has arrived on the heels of intense and immense pain. It has been a pain that required depths of forgiveness I didn't know were possible. I've had to forgive my offenders and myself, the offended who has in turn, caused offense. It has required me to deal with my ghosts and face my demons in a genuine, authentic, unreserved, unhindered, unrestricted heart for that ever challenging element that eludes us so easily and whose counterpart seizes us in its wicked grip; unforgiveness. We grow comfortable, complacent. It grows familiar and oddly safe. But it steals our freedom, our future and our possibilities. Release from the prison cell and that chains the bind only comes one way; embracing forgiveness regardless of the suffered offense; regardless of the perpetrator.

Like an onion, freedom is formed one layer at a time through a journey of forgiveness.

The years have gone by way to fast if you ask me. It seems impossible that all these years have come and gone already. I remember as if yesterday being a little boy, a teenager, a young man filled with hopes and dreams. Part of me at times wishes I could gain a few of those years back yet I accept the impossibilities of such restoration. Instead I hold close the memories that remain; those good, and those less enjoyable. I don't allow them to roam the hallways of my mind as ghosts and demons any longer but as reminders of where I have been, how far I've come and where I now get to go.

I now place my hope in the possibilities; the new hope for tomorrow. I have and I am letting go in forgiveness of what has gone before and with expectant and excited hope I grab hold of the new opportunities and the possibilities that I have for tomorrow.

You can too! You can discover your most authentic self, the life you have dreamed of, the hope you have held for so long. It begins with forgiveness. Let go, give it up with no regrets, no blame. Banish fear, anger, bitterness with the authority of authentic forgiveness; yourself included. Then lay hold of the hope. Let the dreams sweep you away. Soar on wings of eagles as you release yourself into the new possibilities of the days and years before you.

Don't live another minute of your life burden with blame and shame, trapped in the past. It's been too long already. Today is your day. It's time to MOVE ON into your bright future!

Emotional Alchemy

by Peggy Black -

We are here once again offering our words of gratitude as well as our acknowledgment for your service in uplifting the consciousness of the collective, by the courage of your every action as aware magnificent multidimensional beings.

You are becoming more and more aware of your true self as an aspect of divine consciousness. You are pure energy, pure vibrations that are anchored and processed through the systems of the physical body. This physical body is only your vehicle; it is the required equipment which allows you to interface with this dense reality.

For eons of lifetimes the pattern has been repeated as you have in-spirited another life adventure in this dimension with the goal to awaken and assist others to awaken from the collective amnesia. Each lifetime offered the opportunity to acquire emotional wisdom, to entrain with the vibrational frequencies of all the emotions available through personal experiences. To sense, to endure despair and anguish, to feel great love and passion, to fathom the depths of anger and rage, to embrace the emotion of pure joy and to delight in the sensation of your physical form, to suffer deep heartache, guilt and remorse and to discover your ability for compassion, understanding and forgiveness all of these experiences impart knowledge..

The vibrational offerings of all the emotional frequencies you experience have been honing your skills as a conscious energy alchemist. The evolution of consciousness that is occurring at this time on your planet is stirring your remembering, your divine authority, and your skill to transform all that is before you. You are not powerless to what is unfolding in your life or in the collective matrix. You are truly powerful beyond measure.

This dimension, this timeframe has been locked into patterns of dysfunction, patterns of helplessness and victim consciousness. It has been programmed, taught and passed down from parent to child for generations. You were taught to honor authority, to not question what you have been told or taught. Now is the time to question. Question what you believe to be true in the deepest reservoir of your heart's intelligence.

Many of the emotions of hatred, violence and prejudice have been activated and generated by those collective groups in power for their own selfish goals and needs. You are not a victim of this kind of manipulation of fear and lack anymore. You are waking up to the poisonous thoughts and messages that are being broadcast to humanity.

Realize that planet earth is a free will environment; it is always your free will to choose. It is also a reality of opposites, a reality of polarity with the extremes of emotional experience at both ends of the vibrational spectrum. Understand that each life is reflecting this vibrational spectrum through all the myriad experiences available. Realize also that each emotional frequency, each emotional feeling or vibration sets off a reaction within the physical body.

The physical body's reaction to these discordant emotions of fear, terror, worry or stress creates a chemical and hormonal response. When this cascade of chemicals and hormones are rushing through the systems of your physical form, they are causing damage to the organs, muscles and nerves. What is most important for you to become aware of is that your body's tissue grows addicted to this rush of chemicals, however harmful, when you are stressed or fearful. And, like in any addiction, it continues to desire that reaction. It might be simply the stress of not have the monies to pay the bills. The mental mind worries, frets and has great concern with sleepless nights and troubling thoughts and there is a dependency within the system on the rush of chemicals that the worrying thoughts create.

Awareness and empowerment come when this unsupported pattern is discovered, when you personally realize and recognize what your emotional addiction(s) might be. There is no judgment here; there is no make wrong, but rather the awesome awareness that you can shift your emotional response at any time. It will be a partnership between your physical presence and your own personal connectedness to who you are as a multidimensional being.

Once you realize that your emotions are yours totally whether they have been triggered by some outside manipulation or some old program from a past experience or something you are experiencing in the moment, they are yours to uplift and transform. Now you are invited to step into your personal power as a divine conscious being, as a transformer and a master of emotional alchemy. It is this enlightened knowledge that offers the skills and the invitation to serve humanity that you came here to perform.

We have spoken of this process many many times before however we continue to empower you to remember yourselves as masters of energetic alchemy. Remember if you are feeling any discordant emotion it is your birthright and responsibility to transmute it. You are empathic; you are sensitive to the vibrations/emotions of others; you are connected to the collective emotional frequencies offered by humanity.

Individuals are becoming aware of their growing ability to feel more and more of the collective field of energy. This has been especially true for the female aspect of your collective, yet now it is the males who are being triggered to their own feeling nature.

As this awakening and sensitivity occurs it brings great distress for the males of your species. They have been taught to suppress their feelings, because if you are empathic or sensitive you can not be a warrior, you can not kill or maim another.

Yet men are as sensitive and tender as women, they are caring and compassionate. They have not been allowed nor taught just how to express or transform what they are feeling. This is changing. Humanity is changing. It is your work that is bringing more light consciousness to this matrix.

Remember that you are a transformer of dense dysfunctional emotions. It is through the intelligence and presence of the heart's conscious chalice that this work and this magic is done. This is the task you have come here to do, to transform the energies that do not support your well-being and expansion. This is about raising consciousness from the dense slumber that has permeated generations of humans.

We invite you to give the feelings of discouragement, loss, fear or anger a voice, allow this act of release to be sacred. It does not matter if these emotions are all yours personally or a part of what the collective is offering. They are yours to transform. Ask for support and see yourself surrounded by the love of divine consciousness, feel this embrace as you shout, weep, moan or scream your feelings. Give these feelings an expression in a sacred and holy way. Honoring what you are feeling yet being willing to allow them release and transformation, this is emotional alchemy.

Each time you release a dense emotion of sadness, sorrow, grief or fear be sure that you call forth, and invite a higher vibrational emotion to replace what you have cleared. Name it with intention, and sound it into being. If you have released fear replace it with trust. Once you have released stress replace it with peace of mind and heart. Sound it and call it forth into your reality. Play with this incredible tool of consciously shifting energy.

Make it habit, make it a game of high purpose, and you are a master at transmuting discordant energy. Claim your ability, share this tool with others, and create groups that do this transforming work together for the collective.

When you offer an emotional vibration that carries more light than darkness you are adding to the expansion and the shift. When you recognize your own emotional addictions and bring those to the light with understanding and forgiveness you are doing global service work on a personal level. Your sacred heart is the vehicle of all transformation. When you consciously embrace an experience of fear with even the smallest shift of vibration into trust or hope, you own your power. Each and every time you consciously initiate a new response you open the door to more light, you claim more of your power and you perform an incredible service for your loved ones and the global family.

Remember you are a transformer. Remember you are an energy alchemist. Step into your magnificence and own the ability to make a difference in each moment. Remember you are the one who carries the vision. You are the one who seeds your reality with coherent emotions of joy, love compassion and forgiveness; you offer the gifts of your deepest knowing of truth and light. You are here to anchor the new reality and the new shift of consciousness in the collective.

It is within you heart chalice that the vision of love and peace will be anchored and brought forth. We offer our deepest gratitude for your work and service; we acknowledge that this reality has challenges which take great courage to experience. The divine realms of love and light await your request for support; they will join you upon your invitation. Know that you are seen and appreciated and be at peace.

What Are You Giving Birth To?

by Patricia Spadaro -

I was about to turn onto a busy four-lane street, when I saw a red Mustang stopped in one lane with a string of impatient drivers behind it. I thought the girls in the car must have been having engine trouble, but as I made my turn into the traffic, the car in front of me suddenly slammed on its breaks, stopping at the same spot those girls had. What was going on?

Then I saw it. For one long, sweet, breathtaking moment, I watched a speckled mama duck proudly waddle across the lanes with a dozen fluffy ducklings falling over each other to keep up with her. They tumbled onto the curb in beautiful disarray like something out of slapstick routine as the mama pushed ahead in pursuit of safety. Thank God for careful drivers, I thought. And thank God for mothers.

That heart-opening moment made me think about the fragile things in our lives and our own role as mother.

We are all mothers. In each of us, there is something young and tender that needs guidance, nurturing, and even the fierce protection of our love so it can grow to its fullest and express itself. Identifying what that is, I realized, can help us play our role of mother better.

Maybe what you’re giving birth to is a new habit or talent that needs shaping and support. Perhaps it’s a mission-driven project waiting to see the light of day or an ending that needs tending to so you can move on to new opportunities.

What’s the next part of you waiting to be born? And are you giving it the focus and attention it needs? Or are you too busy to recognize what it is or hear its voice?

Are You Listening to Yourself?

Abraham Maslow talked about the importance of being able to hear our own innerfeeling- voices. “An important part of self-knowledge,” wrote the prominent psychologist, “is being able to hear clearly these signals from the inside.” Many of us, however, have been trained to ignore our inner signals or put other things or people first. Yet honoring our inner impulses is what puts us in touch with our real purpose and makes us excited to share our passions – to give birth to the next stunningly beautiful part of ourselves.

If you’re one of those people (like me) who is better at giving to others than to yourself, it can take conscious intention and practice to listen for what your own inner voice is telling you. One thing that helps me get reconnected is to literally listen to my voice – to listen to how I am speaking rather than what I am saying.

We use this skill all the time to read others. We know a friend is upset or burdened when we hear her voice crack. We know our children are happy when they are animated and speak quickly. If we call a parent and we hear a listless voice at the other end of the phone, we know something is wrong. The tone tells it all.

While we’re accustomed to reading others in this way, we can get so caught up in what’s happening around us that we forget to listen to ourselves. Yet listening is what gives us valuable clues about how we can best mother that part of us trying to be born. If, for instance, you catch yourself sounding grumpy, impatient, or tired, it’s probably time to ask, “What am I feeling and what do I need? What can I do to honor myself right now so I can give my best gifts to others?”

Likewise, when you catch that lilt of excitement in your voice or hear yourself happily whistling or humming away, take note. What are you doing or thinking about that is making your heart sing? That’s what can bring more joy into your life – and the lives of others – when you give birth to it again and again.

When you’re too busy to focus on what’s really important in your life, the part of you that is budding can become smothered instead of mothered. To honor the nascent potential within you, practice asking yourself:

• What am I being called to give birth to, to mother, to bring to fruition?

• What is whispering within me to be recognized, nurtured, and protected?

• What choices can I make today to give that delicate, emerging part of myself what it needs to blossom?

Earth's Great Awakening

by Julie Redstone -

There comes a time in the life of a people, when what has gone before must give way to the new, and what has been thought of as a way of life and a standard for defining the normalcy of days, must adapt itself to a new current of light and life that now enters the picture. Such is the time for America today and, indeed, for the world, for the old ways of doing things are about to give way before a new consciousness that shall envelop both the nation and the world. This new consciousness will shine a light more brightly than ever before on the internal mechanisms by which people think, feel, and make choices in their everyday lives. All that is hidden from the eyes of others will become known to the self, and the motives that are less than desirable will also become visible to the illuminated awareness.

This greater consciousness is meant to be a great gift, though it brings with it the problem of having to finally deal with those things that one would rather have concealed from the self or put away until such time as it seemed more comfortable to take them out. Nevertheless, awakening consciousness to the true nature of the self is of great and priceless benefit, for it enables each soul to finally become free of all that holds it back from realizing its true potential. For this self-constriction is not based on circumstances that flow through life and come and go, but rather on the inner nature of deeply held thought and belief which define the expectancies and the fruits of a life. These are the building blocks out of which the flow of life is created.

In the present moment, the movement toward greater visibility of self is still quietly moving along subtle channels, creating little disturbance of the inner landscape. It is still not being perceived as the wave of change that it is, and only some who are more sensitive to the ebbs and flows of thought and feeling, or those who are suddenly having to deal with stronger surges of darkness and negativity are becoming aware of what this wave is bringing. Yet, within a short space of time, many more will become aware of the things that have been hidden and will need to know what to do with all the levels of thought and feeling that suddenly become part of everyday awareness.

For this understanding to root itself in the place where healing and transformation can occur, it is necessary that God enter the picture. For the phenomenon of illuminated awareness is not caused by the self, nor by any motives that reside within, nor by any external circumstance. Rather the phenomenon of awakening is caused by Divine timing and ordination which has finally moved to sound the call for humanity's movement forward, and to shine the light of truth into the domain of ordinary consciousness. This is the time of the great purification for mankind, and for the letting go of that which needs to be let go of in order that each soul become free.

There are some who will continue to feel hardened to their own inner process of learning and who will deny it in others, and there are some who will feel abused, or humiliated, or attacked, by their very own self and the inner life that is opening. What is important to remember at this time is that what begins in confusion will end in hope. What begins with distress at things that have never been experienced before, will end in a simplicity of being and an expanded space within the self that will bring greater peace and a greater capacity to share oneself with others in a true way. It will also bring, in the end, a greater awareness of God's love and of God's gifts to humanity.

All forms of life are moving into this next step of awakened consciousness, and all forms of nature will be affected as well by the increased light of awareness. Yet it is the human being who will be most acutely affected since it is human awareness that is differentiated in the most subtle and complex ways and that responds most to the emotional domain of existence. Nevertheless, all of nature shall respond to this call to awaken, and both plant and animal life shall feel and seem more alive, more vibrant, and more conscious.

This is the miracle of the time we are in and for which all souls have waited, namely, that the life of God that has existed in all beings without exception, shall finally become more visible, and ordinary reality as it exists in trees, brooks, grass, leaves, clouds, air, mist, earth – shall finally take on the visibility of light that has always been part of the structure of life-forms, but never part of their radiance. Now, life shall radiate light.

For those who fear this time, it is important to know that all who are here on the earth have come in order to be part of this great transition, and there is no one who will not be helped with the process by Divine aid as well as by the light of their own soul. The music of that soul shall begin to sound more loudly in the ears and hearts of each one, and each one shall begin to find the inner guidance that will lead them through the newness and uncertainty of this time.

Blessed are those who have come to share in the great awakening of the earth and of human consciousness that is part of the present moment. May all be blessed and may all perceive the true nature of God's sacred reality as it arrives to bless the earth.
