FORGETTING WHO I AM

We continue integrating the full expanse of unity and uniqueness by balancing our ego.  One important aspect to Ascension is recognizing the Divinity within.  Jesus spoke of this when he said, ‘I and My Father are One.’  He taught Empowerment and he taught forgiveness and equality.  He taught that we are more than we see in the physical, that we are indelibly connected to Source Energy.  Not God up there, make sure you worship him correctly or suffer in the afterlife; but God Within, live your life as God would because you’re not truly separate.  Embrace each moment and recognize that you are impacting All Life with each choice to forgive, to stand Empowered, to Love, to perceive Life as benevolent and challenge as beneficial and easier and easier to pass through because you are more than you see here in the physical.  You are Source incarnate, separated into one unique Being and united with All Life.

Forgetting Who I Am takes us beyond the beautiful Self and unites us with our Whole Self.  Better stated it would be Selves because you become (more) aware that you really are more than you see here and the full impact of the complete past, the future, all locations and specific interactions become the Now.  You need not remember any of it, you need not figure out how to move past the challenge and implement the learned; you only need to breathe in the Whole and Know that you are God.  That is Full Unity, each breath taken upon the Earth, upon the expanse of Time, each moment lived beyond Earth.  You are not just this moment and you are precisely this moment, for it contains All and your interaction is implicit within it.  I Am implies now.  Cycles interact.  Cycles never end.  Even the cyclical calendars only represent part of the picture, for it is infinite, as are you.  Look past I Am and Know I Am All.  In this way, your impact is understood and honored.  As you begin to Flow intent to your moments that honors their full expanse, you begin to live a Life that is simple in its words and grand in its deeds.  Mere eye contact becomes a true gazing into the window of the soul.  This brings more truth into each moment, for your Truth is far grander than one minute of interaction.  I Am contains All.  Forget to be meaningless, separate and unworthy and remember that you are imbued with the power to choose and to direct a moment to nourishing Life beyond fear and degradation. That is Who You Are. 

See the dichotomy?  You must be only Who You Are in this moment, for you are unique in a separate body.  And yet you are always more than a moment for your entire past imprints your now.  Your fear or flow with the future and with the process of life is imprinted on your now.  As you focus your intent to remember your full expanse (unity) and honor your unique perspective (ego), you enhance your Flow of Love and you align with the natural Laws of the Universe (the Law of One and all of its subsets) and life changes.  You can paddle upstream and maybe even make some headway, but when you flow with the natural current, you travel much easier and faster.  That is what we’re doing.  Activating our full potential and releasing the vague and specific manipulations that inhibit the full flow of Love.

As we sit to Blast Forgetting Who I Am, we are remembering that we are a focal point of All Life.  We are looking past one singular moment and bringing all time into Now.  We are humble in our greatness because it is implicit in All Life.  We are forgiving because it is natural to Love Life in all its moments of discovery.  We are empowered because the gift of being human is an honor that we deserve because we are.  We are loosening the binds of definition to include the greater expanse of what the finite indicates; one valuable perspective of the Whole.  We are honoring our beautiful logic as a mere gateway to find more expansion, as Truth is always found in the heart and only defined in the head.  Truth, like You, is continually expanding and contains All.  This moment, it is unique; and yet, like You, it contains All.  Remember that.  Blast on!

REALIZING GREATNESS

This dance between the expanse of separation and unity is fascinating.  Each week we are propelled in a direction of integration that assists in the release of what blocks us from appreciating the full spectrum of life.  This is the middle road expanding out to include all, it’s the peace which passes all understanding.  We are coming to a cellular understanding of the natural laws of the universe, All Life is interconnected and all experience serves the continuation and flow of life.  We are the microcosm of the macrocosm, and we contain the same within.  As above, so below.  We are united and separate, diversity animating the Whole into ‘singular’ form.  Here we move from last week’s Letting Go Of Pride, into what would seem it’s opposite of Realizing Greatness.  But in Truth, they are the same, it is perception that we are really shifting.  Instead of perceiving pride as bad, we discern the difference between pride out of balance and pride that puts all on equal ground, though each has unique talents, desires, focus, etc.  It is the same with Realizing Greatness.  As we perceive All Life around us as valuable, adored equally by Source, perfect as it is and ever changing, we realize how great it is, even the challenges. 

Realizing Greatness is an access way to sharing your Light joyfully with your world.  This is the way life was meant to be; interaction, expansion, continued Flow.   From this space of detachment to others' opinions or approval, you are in complete freedom to express or observe without the hurt feelings that stem from perceived rejection or the temporary boost from approval outside of yourself.  It always feels good to receive approval and it isn’t as pleasant to experience rejection or disapproval from another, but free-flowing interaction in this world may certainly entail that.  We are pioneering balance, not reacting to a pre-balanced world!  Can you hold your balance in the face of opposition and in the face of support?  If you rely on either from an outside source (a place of need rather than experience), you’re not in a balanced place of Realizing Greatness.  That does not mean that it is wrong to feel the emotions of rejection and approval, on the contrary, you must be very honest with yourself about how you’re feeling.  It means that as you find yourself emotionally charged, look within and honestly determine how dependent you are on others for validation.  As we are becoming sovereign from our need for approval, sometimes the pot is stirred a little.  Allow your feelings to flow, but remember that they are an indication for you.  In this way, you come from an empowered place when the need arises to set a boundary rather than a place of fight or flight. 

As we sit to Blast Realizing Greatness, we are perceiving ourselves and others through Source Perspective – All Life is cherished.  We are remembering that the joy of experience is why we chose to incarnate in human form.  We are finding value in the full range of emotions and reactions without holding onto them as the Truth of Who I Am.  We are supporting others as they share and allowing ourselves to share life without fear of rejection or approval.  We are Realizing Greatness as inherent to All Life and nurturing the growth of an empowered humanity.  We are bringing the peace that passes all understanding into daily interaction.  Blast On!

LETTING GO OF PRIDE

Last week we worked on valuing our beautiful gift of ego in its balanced state as we worked on Resetting Ego.  This is the equivalent to appreciating ourselves from the perspective of Love and Compassion.  From that balanced place, the infinite value of All Life is implicit.  Better than becomes unnecessary.  Less than becomes obsolete.  Equal to is sought in each interaction through Love and Compassion, even if the compassion of the moment means letting go or saying no.  It’s easy to Love the happy, fun times.  Our work is to Love in the moments of jealousy, anger or sorrow.  It’s a Love that Empowers each Being within, for there is no experience outside of the self that controls the balance of the ego.  Each individual is valued, each individual is supported and the Unity of All Life is enhanced as the Flow of give/receive is nourished within the energy of Love. 

Letting Go Of Pride is another layer of Empowerment.  Letting Go Of Pride is the release of the need for validation or approval from outside sources.  Letting Go Of Pride is aligning into a state of balance that Knows your worth as equal to the worth of all others.  There is no proving, no unspoken bartering for worth with charity, no hiding the self behind the guise of piety.  Charity flows in each moment as Compassion for All Life becomes natural.  Humility is the gracious balance of appreciating the self as equal to all others, not better than or less than.  Strength becomes the ability to maintain Compassion during a moment of challenge.  Letting Go Of Pride releases the sting of win/lose and reflects the Grace of each beloved human, innately Divine.  Letting Go Of Pride is Freedom to express the self through the joy of sharing. 

The need for validation has been a valuable construct for the right/wrong scenario.  Living life the ‘right’ way has been inculcated into all that we do and has been used to control and manipulate behavior for longer than history has been recorded.  The rules are endless and often contradict each other.  Some seem so unreasonable that it is hard to believe that one would accept them.  Yet the irony is that when you release the ego from needing validation or from being so disempowered that self worth is barely accessible, living ‘right’ is a natural way of Being.  It may not adhere to the vast majority of rules out there, but a basic alignment with the laws of the universe becomes easy.  Loves becomes second nature.  Doing no harm becomes second nature.  Understanding the transformation process of death and how it supports renewal of Life is second nature.  Flowing through difficult emotions brings greater depth of Compassion through forgiveness and empowerment.  Life is meant to be joyous, exciting and graceful.  That is easy with a balanced ego that has no need (pride out of balance).  Right becomes what each moment presents, wrong becomes a mere catalyst for more Love.  Pride becomes understanding, joy and sharing as we honor the self and others equally and enjoy the process of life on Earth - Spirit having a human experience, enjoying the diversity of the entire game of life, seeing each player through the perspective of Love. 

As we sit to Blast Letting Go Of Pride, we are remembering that we are perfect in every perceived right or wrong.  We are viewing each human and All Life as treasured and perfect in each moment.  We are valuing diversity as the elixir of new form and unity as the unseen Truth beyond the beneficial separation of form.  We are remembering that choice is available in each moment and there has never been an experience that is not valuable to the expanse of Love.  We are becoming more empowered as we Love ourselves Compassionately and Flow that Love out to each moment of Life.  We are integrating our Source Beingness that is the Unity that binds All Life.  Source is within you, within every human, within everything on Earth, within the Earth, within every moment – all in equal measure.  That is something to be proud of!  Blast On!

RESETTING EGO

I mentioned a few weeks ago that we were embarking on a period of focus geared toward shifting our inner perspective, which determines how we perceive and interact with life.  A balanced, empowered ego is an important part of that.  We are often taught that ego is a bad thing.  Actually it is a vital part of being human.  Being egoless is the equivalent to no longer being human – we’ll all get there one day but for now our experience is to enjoy being human.  Many are responding to the issue of an ego that is out of balance as meaning there should be no ego.  This is also a reflection of the manipulation of it is better to give than receive and you should be selfless to prove your worth to God.  It is important to give and receive and to care for the self and others.  Each of the two energies support continued Flow.   What seems opposite (give/receive) is merely two ends of a full spectrum.  If you only give, not only do you deplete, but you deny others the ability to give what you could receive from them.  If you only receive, not only do you saturate, but you deny yourself the satisfying experience of giving to another.  Each interaction is not measured for exact equality, we are brilliantly designed to have clues when we are out of balance with our flow in general.  Our first indications are intuitive/emotional feelings. 

The ego is how we differentiate ourselves from others.  That is what life is all about.  We are here in separate bodies, with separate minds, with unique perspectives, experiences and choices.  Separation is real and valuable; it provides the platform for interaction and expansion.  Of course, it’s only half of the story, as we are also all united.  A balanced ego supports courage, growth, creativity, diversity, compassion, global community, acceptance, patience, encouragement, win/win.  I could go on and on. When an ego is out of balance, whether the person seems domineering or subservient, it lends to behavior that inhibits mutually supportive interaction (give/receive out of balance, passive/active out of balance, etc.).  There is a time for all things, and when our ego is balanced we easily move back and forth between the essence of the moment.   Is it a moment of teaching or learning, a moment of sharing your gift or receiving the gift of another?  If you really look at these, they are the same.  When you teach from a balanced ego, you learn.  When you teach from an unbalanced ego, you see yourself as better than the students, infallible and constantly proving your worth.  When you give from a balanced ego, you receive.  When you receive from a balanced ego, the giver has the joy of sharing that is missing from the person that is too self-deprecating to receive.

When we utilize our ego to Love ourselves, feel Compassion for ourselves and Empower ourselves - which means balancing ourselves, we become clear channels for that energy to Flow to others.  Imagine if everyone clearly lived their immeasurable value and easily supported the limitless value of others.  It would be a wonderful place of joyous sharing.  We’re working our way there!  It starts within you.  It starts with you valuing yourself and your needs and balancing that with the value and needs of others.  As you move past each challenge, you’ll find more ease and flow in life.  Patience will be natural as you won’t find the need to control, force or prove.  The talents of others will inspire you.  The joy of expressing your unique perspective (ego) and talents will have no need upon it. When you live life from a balanced ego, your individuality becomes an obvious extension of the Whole.  Separation is still part of life, that is the nature of form, but the Unity and the unseen become far more obvious as well.  A balanced ego expressing fills your life with the Flow of Love.  When Love Flows the world changes.

As we sit to Blast Resetting Ego, we are opening to Flow the unique Song of our Soul that compelled us to individuate into human form.  We are remembering that Unity is inherent in all separation and the gift of diversity applies to all Life.  We are appreciating our talents, our challenges and our choices as they all lend to improving Life.  We are recognizing the immense and innate value in All Beings as their glory is nurtured into manifestation with our open heart, our courageous compassion and empowering boundaries.  We are enjoying the journey of discovering our capacity to find Love in situations that seem opposite but are merely opportunity to increase the breadth of Love.  We are choosing to view ourselves, others and All Life from the perspective of Source.  We are remembering that All Life is united, unique and immeasurably valuable.  That is the gift of each moment that we experience with our unique perspective.  Blast on!

FOR ALL

As we refine the limitations of the old way of doing things and establish new and personal guidelines for our path, we are often faced with emotional upsets, boundary setting, confrontations and wondering whether we made the right choices.  Boundary setting and confrontation doesn’t have to be a yelling match.  Though often there is an uncomfortable quality to it until you really start to feel comfortable in your new Empowerment.  Most often this state of Empowerment, which should be rather natural, is not what is taught as acceptable in society or even in some spiritual teachings. 

We are moving into a state of increased Love and Compassion for ourselves, others, Earth, animals, etc.  But dealing with life day to day with Love and Compassion can be confusing and challenging as we deal with what has been, what is and what we want life to be.  Each Lightworker is going through Ascension from a different perspective.  The Zen monk will have a different path than the person working in corporate world.  The pre-school teacher will have a different experience than the person interacting with drug addicts.  All of these perspectives are valuable.  Each requires a personal choice of boundaries based on what they are dealing with in order to maintain strength and compassion that best serves the moment For All involved.  Imagine that pre-school teacher only saying yes so as not to hurt a child's feelings.  Not very effective For All involved.  Now imagine the teacher only says no because discipline must be maintained above all else.  Also not very effective For All involved.  There is a balance of boundaries and Compassion that speaks Love whether through yes or no. 

We are systems of interaction.  We emit and receive vibrational signals that speak and listen to all that is around us – people, animals, nature, food, cycles of life and death, choice, limitation, emotion, instinct...it is endless.  We are interacting with ourselves and our own perception and desires.  We interact with other people, with collective energy, with the impulse of our Spirit, with misinformation, with inspiration, with the past, the future.  The interaction never stops.  Our job is to interpret, evaluate based on our choice and interact with the maximum amount of Love, Compassion and Empowerment available in the moment.  That is Ascension. That is life.

It is our Acension path that beckons us to Empowerment within these interactions from a basis of Love.  To do that, we have to redefine what Love really means to us individually.  We have to redefine what Empowerment really means to us individually.  And then we have to live by those guidelines even if others don’t agree, observing whether we are acting with Love, Compassion and Empowerment.  This is why often during the process of Ascension we have friends and family members that are no longer in our life.  We change our habits, we enjoy spending time doing different things and we tolerate some things more easily while other things we will no longer abide. 

One of the misconceptions that is being refined is service.  It was seen as an act of love and piety to be in service and give up the self for others and/or God.  We are not here just to serve God, we are here to honor the perfection of what God created within each of us.  With that, the natural flow of the Love of God becomes every day life, whether that means saying yes or no.  Complete servitude doesn’t honor your unique gift of choice, perspective and Joy that teaches others the strength and beauty that is within them.  Sharing your Love, your bounty and teaching through Being Whole is true Service.  A mother and father serve their children by providing them Love, food, safety, etc., but an important lesson they also teach their children is how to nurture the self, how to set personal boundaries, how to respect the self enough to say no in a compassionate way because the needs of each person must be met to best of everyone’s ability.  It is the true meaning of For All.  We do this through our refined meaning of Love, Compassion and Empowerment.  At times we say yes, we compromise, we put the needs of others ahead of our own – that is the wisdom choice of the moment based on the circumstances.  At times, we say no, we hold a boundary, we put the needs of the self ahead of others because that is the wisdom choice of the moment.  All that are interacting learn something that takes them beyond the moment.  That each person can give and receive based on their need in the moment.  That each person can see through the eyes of Compassion and Empowerment within each moment.  That each person is capable of providing for themselves, of sharing with others, of teaching others to provide for themselves and of receiving from others.  The circle is complete.  One serves the All and the All serves the One.  Our perspective is through ourselves, but the reflection is through the beauty of others, through the beauty of the world Source created and then Empowered us to steward.  The system of interaction is so perfectly designed to remind of Love when forgotten, to teach of Compassion when called, to show of  Empowerment that is built-in to the beauty of all the systems and cycles of Life.

As we sit to Blast For All, we are opening our heart to the beauty within each person ever to grace this earth.  We are recognizing our inherent value that is infinite, not earned.  We are choosing to show others a lasting Peace within as they are taught in a moment and enhanced for a lifetime.  We are remembering that our equality with All is the Truth, no matter how others may judge.  We are taking the bold stance of Loving in the face of ease, the face of challenge, the face of anger or the face of pain; for these are all shades of Love to the wise one that sees each person as a powerful reflection of Source.  We are teaching others to remember their inherent Grace, that the Power of Love is their True Power.  We understand that our Love knows when yes or when no best serves All in a moment.  Through honoring the Self, we honor the All.  When Love is full within you, you can’t help but gaze through its Light.  That is beauty reflected.  That is the Truth of Life.  That is how you really change the world.  One person at a time, For All.  Blast on!
