FREE AND OPEN BELIEVING

We are continuing on last week’s theme of releasing beliefs that no longer serve our Empowerment (Joyful, Creative, Love-based living and more ease with challenge).  Last week we worked on Allowing Access to Core Beliefs.  With that process we began to observe more of life from a perspective of new possibility, new solution, Exciting Peace and Freedom as we align with our Divine Nature. 

Free And Open Believing is living in the Now.  Living in the Now means being well with the past, for it grew you to the strong, capable and compassionate Being you are Now.  Living in the Now means being well with the future, for you are Divinely capable and creating is best served when you are in Joy and Flow.  A Now moment that isn’t ideal?  It is a great teacher, a great platform for choice, an exercise to strengthen patience, Trust and new-perspective-seeking.  Living in the Now is an ease with the moment and also an ease with the past and the future.  This is different than living in the past or the future.  You ‘live’ in the past or future when the emotional charge of it taints your Now.  This doesn’t even mean that you are thinking of the past or future.  If your choice in the Now is lacking Freedom to create because of resentment of the past or fear of the future, then you are not freely living in the Now. 

Free And Open Believing is still grounded in reality.  You are able to participate fully in life; running errands, working a less than ideal job at the moment, aligning with increased money flow in the future, dealing positively with family members, forgiving past hurts.  With Free And Open Believing, you access Source Perspective in everyday life.  Sometimes it may come after the fact, but when you are Open, it always comes.  It often requires diligent awareness to the subtleties of life, as it can be habitual to expect the same.  Your Openness to change offers you the gradual growth that is evident in nature, while still being open to miraculous shift.  This is equivalent to Being rather than Doing.  There is action when you are Being, but it is inspired rather than forced.  Forced action may produce some result in the physical, but inspired action creates a strong foundation that will sustain expansion.  The unseen Love that permeates inspired action enhances the magnetic Pull toward improvement. 

As we sit to Blast Free And Open Believing, we are continuing our quest for inspiration and Creative Living through releasing outdated, limiting beliefs.  We are open to the Divine Guidance that resides within our sacred heart and utilizing our magnificent brains to create within Joy.  We are becoming the Divine Creators we were meant to Be.  We are allowing others to choose their path as we choose our own.  We are bringing hope to the world through our ability to Love when Love is not obvious.  We are F.O.C.U.S.ed on the new possibility that Free And Open Believing is able to create.  Love and Compassion are the way to healing, and healing brings new solution, new community, new interaction to Life.  Blast on!

ALLOWING ACCESS TO CORE BELIEFS

Over the next few months, the LightBlast will be opening us to a balanced ego that understands our Sovereignty and Empowerment and interacts with the world from a space of Freedom, Love and Sharing Joy.  I capitalize these words when they have an expanded meaning that applies to living as a Divine Human, merging Source perspective with human perspective.  Thus Freedom isn’t just ‘I don’t have to’ or ‘I can if I want to;’ it becomes ‘Creativity is infinite and humanity’s unbounded capacity to create is unique and united.’  This space of balanced ego will be preparing us for the Unity that we will be expanding into.  We are ‘expanding into’ Unity because we were never un-united, we have been shutting down our full capacity due to lack of understanding of our Free nature, our powerful Love and our ability to Create.  With this, we shift the reality of humanity from opposition, polarity and duality to Understanding, Choice and Compassion. 

There are beliefs that are specific to our experiences, there are beliefs that are specific to our community/tribe (which can be local, country, race, peers, gender, religion), there are beliefs that are specific to humanity and life on Earth.  Any of these could be conscious or unconscious.  A belief is something that we accept as true.  A core belief is one that affects other beliefs, like when you pull a stone from a building foundation, the whole building falls.  Some beliefs are obvious, others are vague or only half-believed (I believe in the Law of Attraction but how did this happen?!) while still others are unconscious and not something we would consciously choose at this stage in our life.  I encounter this in individual sessions, beliefs that we took on when we were younger that are still affecting our life today, but that we do not logically believe at this age.  Beliefs can be supportive and Freeing (God is Love) or limiting and destructive (women are less valuable than men).  In the previous example (women are less valuable than men) I personally may not believe that, but I may have vague, undefined belief structures that are affecting it (i.e. women don’t get paid as well as men in corporate America).

The LightBlast is about healing the Self and in turn, shaping this world for the better.  We do this by living an Empowered life, by living a Joyful life and by dealing with challenge and change with as much Love and Compassion as available in the moment, and seeking to ever increase our quotient of Love and Compassion.  This begins with Love and Compassion for the Self, so that Love and Compassion are shared with others from a place of strength and teaching, not martyrdom or savior-dom.  This LightBlast in particular is asking us to reach deep into our collective wisdom and begin to address some core beliefs that are blocking humanity from Divine Love and Empowerment.  It begins within.  It begins with your courage to seek balance and seek a new perspective.  It then asks you to live in the awareness of new possibility, when perhaps it isn’t manifest in form yet, when perhaps it’s not reflected in the media, when perhaps it’s not the perspective of another who still resides in fear and lack, who does not understand their Divine Creative Power.  You need not convince anyone.  You need not voice it, you will know if that is applicable.  You are just seeking a new perspective that opens the door for new possibility of Love and Empowerment for yourself, which affects how you live your life and interact with others.  The world changes.

Allowing Access to Core Beliefs is the surrender to Divine Will from the basis of Empowered Sovereignty.  It’s not ‘Thy Will be done,’ it’s ‘Thy Will be One.’ It is the understanding that as an individual, we are each connected, responsive and Divinely dependent upon All our surroundings for Life.  It is the understanding that the beautiful game of Polarity that we live on this plane of duality calls forth Integration, the duality becoming triality; I am One, I am All, All is Love.  It is the Knowing that you are powerful enough to release the chains of limitation and open to expansion.  Allowing Access to Core Beliefs is opening the door to new possibility based in Love, releasing what does not serve Empowerment and becoming the Joyful Creator you were meant to Be.  That childlike wonderment and flow through Life that is possible while balancing the responsibilities of adulthood. 

What are these Core Beliefs we are Allowing Access to?  Some personal beliefs, some community/tribe beliefs and some collective beliefs will be transformed, so it is not really possible to list them all.  We are transforming beliefs that don’t serve Empowerment.  We will be releasing beliefs that are founded in lack, in fear and insecurity.  We will be opening to Sharing, to Joy, to Understanding, to Creativity, to Love, to Freedom.  It doesn’t mean we will never have challenge, it means within the experience of Life, we will have more ease with change, more patience with manifestation, more Freedom to navigate our world toward Joy. 

We are asked to Blast ‘Allowing Access’ to Core Beliefs because we are Sovereign Beings.  Source does not choose what you believe; you were Created with a beautiful heart/mind and Free Will to choose for yourself.  I certainly do not choose what you believe.  You are not going remove beliefs that serve you or that you want.  You are Allowing Access to yourself and to your Higher Self, that part of you that resides with Source Energy, sees with a broader perspective, a Divine Perspective.  You are ‘Allowing Access’ because choice and free will are your Divine Birthright, because part of your journey will be to discern and choose through experience, not just a one-time shot of all your beliefs changing at once.  Transformation needs time to form, to refine, to adjust, to form again. 

As we sit to Blast Allowing Access to Core Beliefs, we are beginning a transformation toward our Empowerment and a world united in Love.  We are releasing that which no longer serves us and activating our Divine Potential to create anew.  We are remembering that we are created From Love, to Expand Love.  We are clearing our energetic field of that which blocks our creative ability and opening to new possibility and movement.  We are remembering that Life is to be lived with Joy and ease as the natural Pull of Life is toward improvement, even if challenge is the experience of the moment.  We are shifting the reality of humanity from struggle to cooperation.  We are accessing our Original Blueprint, our Divine Nature, our innate Power.  That Power is Love.  Blast on!

RELEASING EXPECTATION

Expectation is another theme (just like last week’s Freedom) that resurfaces intermittently.  As I have watched surprising manifestations and changes over the years, I’ve noticed that expectations within fear will often limit the manifestation.  Certainly not all expectations come from fear, nor am I one who thinks we should have no expectations.  On the contrary, I expect improvement all the time!  But expectation out-of-balance is commensurate with limitation.  It signifies a lack of Trust in your capability, whether that is your capability to create, to transform or even to have patience, to name a few.  There is a time for specificity with expectation and there is a time for openness.  This speaks to the times of openness, where expectation nurtures improvement and fear and lack become obsolete.  There are three areas that we are guided to ponder, but they need not be your only focus.

The first area requiring openness is time itself.  This is a challenging one.  There are some things we expect, particularly around money and also relationship, in a certain period of time.  I know it feels like you need them in a certain period of time, it’s not just a selfish expectation!  But the truth is, with exception that is more rare than not, there is always an answer that comes within the time of necessity.  It may not be the most awesome answer ever (i.e. ‘I finally got enough to pay this bill this month’), but there’s always an answer for those that will hear it and heed it.  Most people don’t end up involuntarily out on the street.  Usually, time is something that takes care of itself, as the system of life (not the system of man – we’re creating a new one!) was made to continue flow toward improvement.  It is definitely a balance of focus on a positive and realistic perspective, inspired action and trust.  Trusting time and yet using time to your advantage is a vital point of balance as we deal with so much going on in our lives and really owning the power to create what we want to live.  Patience is helpful to living a peaceful, balanced and creative life. 

Also requiring openness are the ‘burdens’ of life.  As we participate in life on earth, there are some general items that can not be avoided.  Taxes are certainly one of them.  Death, too (Damn, that adage is correct!)  Challenging emotions.  Errands.  Bills.  House cleaning.  Preparing food that’s healthy.  The list is endless.  What is important is that your perspective of them is a healthy mix of understanding that there are times of participating in life that means you might not be doing exactly what you want in every moment, but that you do have the option to enjoy most moments.  I used to vaguely punish myself for a ‘to do’ list that was never-ending.  I had an unwritten list of things that needed to be perfect before I was ‘off duty’ and able to relax.  That kind of pressure doesn’t help maintain a joyful present moment.  It’s important to deal realistically with the things that must be done, progress towards completing projects and reward yourself by enjoying the moments along the way.  I’m now rather organized in a way that really suits ease and responsibility.  When I find that something is becoming overwhelming or I’m dreading it, I look at what’s behind the feeling.  I then find a perspective that I believe that will help me enjoy a little more (i.e. not ‘I LOVE doing my taxes SOOOO much!!!’ but ‘I appreciate my easy system and my tax preparer’).  We must take responsibility for our enjoyment, not wait for it to be presented.  Expecting ease and enjoyment in most moments of life is realistic, positive and focused toward improvement while being grounded in reality. 

Part of Releasing Expectation is releasing manipulation.  Manipulation comes in many forms and it always comes from a perspective of fear or lack.  As Lightworkers on the quest of Ascension, our work is finding the areas where we are not in complete integrity and authenticity.  This is not an indication of failure or being a bad person, just an area that is now coming up for clearing (or additional clearing).  Manipulation can be subtle or it can be obvious deception or coercion.  You can’t pick and choose based on the magnanimity of the outcome (i.e. it’s bad for the oil companies to manipulate emotions, but it’s ok for Greenpeace to manipulate emotions).  You can’t justify manipulation for any reason.  You can inform, you can want, you can prefer – but to manipulate indicates that there is a desired outcome that is not being presented honestly or is being presented to persuade.  Manipulation plays on the emotions (often to touch on the insecurities, but not always) and gives the manipulator some sort of benefit.  It could be financial, sexual or egoic, among others.  To manipulate is not to trust the force of Love to be enough to magnetize the life you want to live.  No matter what you want, you have potential to create it with full disclosure.  

As we sit to Blast Releasing Expectation, we are opening to the Free Flow of expecting improvement while being open to the path it presents.  We are no longer resistance to What Is, but appreciative of the opportunity to navigate change with greater ease.  We are remembering that the subatomic world, the unseen, is building anew upon the magnetic vortex of Love.  We are observing our blessed lessons of release as we seek to interact with this beautiful world through Love, where we once felt fear, blame, resentment, lack or shame.  We are opening our second chakra to create with Love, to forgive with ease, to heal with Joy.  We are aligning our heart and our mind as we no longer need to figure out how to get what we want, we just need to Love our moments, our selves, our life, our world.  We are detached and compassionate when the world around us still feels compelled to manipulate as we hold a space of Empowerment to Light the way to Divine Creation in human form.  We are strong in the Knowing that Truth is the answer spoken in the language of Love.  Blast on!

FREEDOM IS MINE

In 2011, we haven’t gone a full 2 months without some Freedom focus and here it comes again.  Freedom is a big one, it requires individual thinking in a world of suppression and marketing savvy.  I notice as all the bad news (or ‘good’ news?) goes on in the world around me and sometimes specific to my own life, I react and spin in my feelings about it.  It’s not that I desire to have no emotions about the things that go on around me, I welcome the emotions.  It’s that I desire not to be controlled by the circumstances around me.  This is where we find Freedom Is Mine.  Not everyone is going to have the same reaction or expectations from life.  Not everyone is going to choose honesty, altruism or even equality for themselves or others.  It’s fascinating to watch as we each make choices about life, about the world, about a situation; at times surprised by our courage or our vulnerability, maybe even some ignorance, too. 

Freedom Is Mine reminds us that we aren’t here to live cookie-cutter lives that are just like those that we feel we want to emulate, or that our parents, parishioners or peers tell us to emulate.  We are here to discover our uniqueness and continue the Flow of Life through our joy of living it to the fullest available in the moment.  That means listening to our heart when it tells us something different from another.  Most importantly, it means listening to our heart when it tells us something different than what we think we want.  That’s a hard one.  Sometimes we want something to fill a void that we have trouble admitting to ourselves, so we are essentially deluding ourselves.  Other times, it’s hard to differentiate between living for others – either through martyrdom or trying to impress them.  This is why looking at our motivations is an important exercise in life.  There is nothing wrong with wanting to be respected for what you do, but doing it for respect is a dead end street of looking for approval outside of yourself.  Freedom Is Mine is about finding that balance of giving/receiving with others, giving/receiving with earth, action/rest, yes/no, etc.  It is important to be Free within yourself and interacting compassionately with others.  If you are dependent on others to behave a certain way to please you, then you are not Free with them.   This is a fine line of setting boundaries and allowing others to be who they are.  Not allowing a friend to be emotionally abusive is a good boundary to set.  Not allowing a friend to believe differently than you is too dependent on the behaviors of others for your happiness. 

Freedom Is Mine is about living sovereignty.  As we live and breathe sovereignty, we teach it to children from a place of great love.  We teach it to business with an understanding of value.  We teach it to relationship with the ease of equality.  We teach it to money with the simplicity of joy.  We teach it to the systems that don’t work with our focus on Truth and Compassion.  Freedom Is Mine points to the knowledge that Freedom must be lived from within before it truly manifests out in the world.  As you are living it, you are teaching others to access it as well.  In my opinion, this is the greatest gift you can give another - access to their own self-respect, their own choices and their own understanding of their immense value.

As we sit to Blast Freedom Is Mine, we are remembering that the beauty of separation is the focus that it provides our uniqueness.  We are understanding that all paths have potential to lead to a wonderful life, no matter how winding, long or bumpy at times.  We are allowing Flow to show us that all change is good change as we move constantly along the river of life.  We are accessing our courage to value ourselves, our wisdom to trust ourselves and our vulnerability to push ourselves to greater heights.  We are recognizing the beauty in others as they choose and prioritize differently than we do, and as we recognize their inherent Freedom as well.  We are understanding that we are Free to feel each moment as we do and choose anew.  We are remembering that our grace is inborn and our action is a choice, starting from within.  Freedom Is Mine means Freedom for all.  Blast on!
