Collaborative Dreaming

Published December 5, 2021 by tindertender

Your heart is big enough to dream not only for yourself, but for a new humanity. Imagine a world that is healed with respect, understanding and with community that fosters life. Even your dreams that relate to you alone will contribute positively to the greater good because that is the nature of your heart. Your heart naturally and intelligently co-operates in a grand scheme of loving creativity, working to heal the hearts of the world. The heart creates win-win situations that benefit the individual and the collective.

You are being asked to honor your growing desire to co-create with conscious, like-minded people. Your collaborative dreaming is a heart-inspired win-win, bringing mutual enchantment to yourself and others. The heart wants to love and be loved. Working with others creatively is a way to allow the heart to grow. It is a chance for you to learn how to honor yourself and others and to find ways to live and let live, simply by growing and strengthening your active trust in your hearts guidance.

Bear through the rough patches that can happen when you work creatively with others. Ideas might clash and there can be friction, particularly if you have different ways of working. Sometimes big dreams need more fire to ignite them into reality. More fire might require more friction along the creative path. It is not meant to be a permanent condition! Just an aspect of the creative process from which you can learn something useful, if you wish. Your guidance is to embrace any experiences of friction or tension – within yourself or as you work with another – with compassion, detachment and tolerance.

Creative endeavors, particularly involving groups, can bring up unresolved issues about being valued, heard or capable. They can also trigger disputes about taking responsibility, or enflame insecurities about being cast into unfamiliar roles of leadership or of having to follow. This might happen for you, for others or for all involved! The stronger the creative energy that flows, the more likely that triggering will take place. It is the nature of creative energy to move in all directions. It doesn’t just want to grow one project, everything that comes into contact with it will grow. That means that the art and the artists are in the process of creation. This can be smooth but it is more likely to be rough sailing – at least at times. This is not a sign that something isn’t working – far from it! It is more usually a sign that growth is happening and you are feeling the growing pains.

Stay in your integrity, honor what you feel and remember why you chose to open up to group endeavors in the first place – especially if the group involvement becomes complex or challenging. Call on unconditional love each day and evening, it only takes a moment to do: “I call on unconditional love. Please help and guide me in this project.”

You are going through this experience or will be in the near future because you are part of a new creative learning program for humanity. This learning program is taking place at a spiritual level and it requires highly individualistic and creative people to learn to work with each other without compromising who they are, in order to reach a common creative goal. It is wonderful, important and challenging creative and spiritual work. You need a strong sense of self to be able to engage in the process and not lose your voice during the journey. You need a strong enough sense of self to be flexible and know when to bend – rather than break. You have to intuit what is going to be a good heart inspired sacrifice for the greater good and when you will need to stay true to your own voice, for the greater good. Only the heart can guide you on these matters and others may not always agree with your instincts, and vise versa. That is part of the challenge of staying present so that the friction created can be channeled into creative energy, rather than lost in emotional turmoil.

Please remember that what really matters is that you hear your own voice. Others may or may nort be able to receive it. When you hear your own voice you will be able to connect with your heart truths. You will know when it is right to remain in a group or when you need to withdraw in order to work with others who resonate at a more appropriate vibration and perhaps more in harmony with your own. Not every collaboration will be long term. Sometimes the learning will be short, sharp and possibly even painful, before it turns into the wisdom that is gained from experience. At other times the journey will be more loving, supportive and harmonious. This is neither better nor worse, just different.

You are no longer to think of yourself as the lone wolf. Yes, you have your unique path to tread, but you now have tasks to accomplish for you own growth and the greater good that require more than a one-man-band. You will still do your own work, of course. However others are on the way to help you. There is only so much a single drop of water can do on its own, though it is precious. Together those drops can become a wave and make a considerable impact in the world. You are a part of a wave of loving consciousness and you are meant to be exploring collaborative dreams, healing relationships and conscious communities. Some connections will be short lived and perhaps involve some learning experiences that you are hopeful of never needing to repeat. Others will be longer term loves. Either way, you will emerge more of yourself and more in connection with the world that wants your ideas, presence, energy and light.

If you are struggling in a group and wondering whether to continue or to let it go and move on, trust your heart and don’t allow any group to become more powerful that the wisdom of your own heart. Always allow the sacred rebel within you to question authority! Is it loving and wise authority? Or is it coming from a place of fear-based control? Look to your hearts wisdom to discern whether your involvement in a group is healthy or not. Sometimes a group can only receive so much of our energy before it is time to move on. Sometimes a group is not receiving us at all but we feel that we are meant to be a guiding hand in it for a period of time, before our heart urges us to let go. Ask for guidance, do the healing process below and trust in the feelings that become clear to you over time. You will know what to do and you must always trust your own voice above any other.

Healing process ::
Imagine a chain of paper dolls, all connected, forming a circle.

Imagine that the circular chain of paper dolls can be filled with a beautiful golden light, which begins in the heart of each paper doll. The light shines out and shimmers, making the paper dolls radiant, shining and golden.

Imagine a feeling of love, connection, help and goodwill shining along with golden light.

Stay with that image or feeling as long as feels good for you. Then simply open your eyes and you have completed your healing process.

Planetary Perspective

Published December 4, 2021 by tindertender

I wonder about rebirth, about the next experience, the next atmosphere inhabited … certainly, there are many opportunities.

It’s graduation time.

Something is happening 250 miles above the earth. There are orbs, life forms, moving freely up, down, sideways, and any direction they will. Many people dedicate much time to videoing these orbs in their own homes, or elsewhere. Strange to see them in space too …

Body’s

Published December 2, 2021 by tindertender

We have a physical body we can see. Perhaps the unseen are only unseen because the body’s they inhabit take on the appearance of whatever is around them, effectively blending into the environment. To us, it looks like the environment … but how many actual chameleon-like bodies are surrounding us at all times?

No such thing as being alone.

The human body is an antennae, a water filled electrical conduit, and it picks up on the slightest vibration, whether aware of it or not.

Some think their mood swings are all about their personality, and it sort of is – but for the most part I think they are extra sensitive and picking up on, and sometimes embodying, the energetics of others.

It is important to know what emotions, fueled by whatever type of energy, actually belong to us or are simply being picked up on and felt from another’s output., because not only are we an antennae, we are a power source, and empower that which is circulating within us … whether the thought, feeling or emotion actually belongs to us or not.

This stuff is like tar … it sticks to the energetic body, unless we can become aware of it and consciously release it, let it flow on out like a breath rather than constricting with it.

Taking charge isn’t always loud, sometimes it’s only a whisper in the mind, exercising the will to be as is without accepting the gifts of the wave, the energetic ocean of waves that we walk through and swim in on a daily basis.

Sort of like in the actual ocean where one gets wet, but the inner portion of the body remains as is. In the ocean of vibration, which is filled with waves coming from every aspect of surrounding life, it’s important to be “water proof” and let it roll off like water on feathers.

Physical body, emotional body, mental body, etheric body… and more! Caring for our body’s is so much more detailed than simply what we ‘see’.

What Do You Feel?

Published December 2, 2021 by tindertender

There are many opinions around you. Some are helpful but others are distracting you from your truth. Although it can be helpful to hear the thoughts of others, when it comes down to it, you will have to come to your own decision. Do you know how unique you are? How your path is your path to be chosen, lived and created – only by you? Someone else cannot become the source of your decision-making power without negative repercussions for both of you in the long run.

You have become swept up in thinking things through. You have been thinking about which way to go with a matter of importance and you have got a bit stuck in the logic of the decision-making process. Sometimes we have to accept that any path is a path forward and if it is not the best path, we can change our approach later on if needed. If we are slightly off-base with a decision, life will often shift and move to guide us back on track. We don’t have to be perfect. In fact, there is rarely ever a perfect choice to be made – just some choices that feel more heart honoring than others. Sometimes we can only really know in hindsight if we made the best choice possible in that moment. At the time of decision-making, we only really have our internal wisdom to rely upon. And that is all we need.

There is no need to punish or traumatize yourself with possible choices. Just making a choice will set things in motion. The best way to catalyze the situation you are in and bring about healing change, stimulate your creative juices and find a more inspired, energized and enjoyable approach to your life, is to just make a choice based on what you feel right now. Not based on anyone else’s feelings. Just yours. So ask yourself – what do I feel right now? And go from there.

If you cannot relate to the need to make a choice between two or more clear alternatives, know this, you are at a crossroads in your journey and the choices you make at this time – even simply choosing to do things a little differently, without much drama associated with the decision – are powerful triggers for some great magic to enter your life.

Take a different approach to something. Be open to that which makes you uncomfortable but could be exciting and interesting. Even small adventures will yield big rewards right now. It matters less that you do the most wonderful thing ever (too much pressure!) and more that you simply take action from your heart. Open up to the creative magic of life and don’t worry about how it is all going to work out. The bigger creative flow of life is sorting out all the details and you are not immune to that plan. In fact you are a natural part of it! So just spend some time with your own feelings and know that all is going to work out perfectly.

Healing process ::
Close your eyes and relax, rest your open palms facing upwards on your legs. Imagine that you have a ball of light in each hand. If you find it hard to visualize or feel, you may prefer to draw this process in your journal instead.

Focus on one ball of light first. What color or colors does it feel like? What feelings, words, symbols or qualities does it have? How heavy or light is it? How substantial? What do you feel about it? Do you like it?

Turn your attention to the second ball of light. Repeat the investigation or exploration that you did for the first.

When you are ready, choose one. There is no wrong or right choice, just whatever captures your attention, energy or heart most at this moment. The other may be there waiting for you later on, if it needs be – or it might be easily released, if that most serves your life’s path and creative journey.

You may like to take that chosen ball of light and imagine sending it our into the universe with love. If you have drawn it, you might like to add words, feelings or colors.

When you have finished, simply say, “My choices flow easily from my heart and I tread my path with certainty and grace, always within the merciful protection of unconditional love. So be it.”

When you are ready, simply open your eyes and you have completed your healing process.

Faith in the Process

Published December 1, 2021 by tindertender

No matter how powerful we are, how much courage and strength we have, there are times when we can’t quite move ourselves along to the next phase of life or creative exploration. At such times we need some divine intervention – a little help in pulling our trolley along, so to speak. When we are at the edge of our own limits and have no more personal resources, we might be left with only one spiritual power, that of faith. Fortunately that is enough.

As unlikely as it may seem, the invisible help from the universe is often more powerful than the physical efforts of a thousand men. That is because the invisible help is not limited by physical laws. It can shift, bend and move in ways that defy limitation. It can affect, evoke and influence situations through invisible, but undeniably persuasive means.

You are in a situation where you cannot ‘set right’ the course of events all by yourself. This is not an indication that you have done something wrong, nor does this suggest that you are not strong enough. It is a sign that there is something bigger unfolding in your life and your willpower will be supplemented by the power of life itself. Sometimes a bigger plan needs to manifest for the benefit of humanity and the earth. You need to shift your perspective to realize that you are part of the greater unfoldment of life, that your individual life serves the greater plan and that you are not separate from its genius. This is what is happening now. You happen to be instrumental to the greater plan and as such, you need to accept your position and be moved, while also being empowered and protected as you make personal progress through your role in that grander scheme.

This is a time for humility and trust. You need complete faith in the processes and events that are happening. There is nothing to worry about, you will be moved most fully and easily, and with the most grace and assistance, through your faithful surrender. Ironically, it is through complete surrender, in total faith, that we become the most empowered. When we are no longer trying to impede the perfection of the greater plan, we can be aligned with and moved by the process. Having faith in the benevolence of life – rather than harboring the suspicion that life is seeking to catch us out, have a joke at our expense or carelessly toss us about as though we mean nothing – then we can relax a little. Having faith in the process gives you space to be curious about what is taking place and to relax enough to be open to what we are most in need of, even if we aren’t exactly sure what that is or how it can happen.

There is now an opportunity for you to be moved from the situation you are currently in, to the next chapter in your life story. You can’t do it on your own. It is too big a shift. It needs the grace of life to intervene on your behalf.

You will need faith though. You may feel as though the wheels of your trolley are coming off or that they are a bit rickety, but you must also understand that the voice of life is now coming straight to your heart with this message:

“I have resources you know not of. It is safe to trust in my ways and in my wisdom, for I love you and am guiding you into all that is rightfully yours. Know that what is rightfully yours is what your heart truly desires and you need not fear loss. Nothing that is meant to come to you will be denied and it is safe for you to let go and allow me to move you.”

Through faith, peace is restored and you are able to know this, and perhaps have some fun in the process.

Healing process ::
Say aloud, “I now ask that all disappointing experiences of the past that have led me to believe that life is not trustworthy or that faith is a silly or immature way to deal with life, be released from my mind, body and heart. I ask for help to accept that I can and will attract all that is needed into my life, at the perfect time and in the perfect way. I ask to be empowered to absolutely receive all that can assist me with gratitude and without shame or guilt. In doing so, I dedicate myself to be a clear, loving, open channel for the flow of life. I know the benefit in doing so is not limited to me, but will flow so that life can benefit others through me. I trust in this now, through unconditional love, so be it.”

You have completed your healing process. If needed, repeat the above prayer each day to help you boost your confidence that everything can and will sort itself out, whether you feel in control or not. In fact, it can do so more easily when you don’t feel in control.

This is what Neanderthals really looked like

Published November 30, 2021 by tindertender

Accurate, painted as if they were a lot like us, loved flowers, children and fell in love.

They lived over much of Europe, from 400,000 years ago unto 30,000 years ago. They interbred with us, so they live on, but are not found as a distinct species.

We coexisted with them for 10 or 20 millennia and our genes say we mated “freely,” as one geneticist put it.

At the high point, our genes were 10 percent Neandertal.

Their brains were bigger than ours and they were stronger and hardier. They were here for 100,000 years before the first traces of us. They are not our ancestors but a cousin species to us. We both came from homo erectus, who appeared 1.9m years ago.

All 3 species coexisted for 150,000 years. H. erectus left Africa and colonized Europe and Asia long before Neandthals and us.

The genes for white skin and blue eyes don’t appear till 8,000 years ago.

Choosing and Building Worlds

Published November 30, 2021 by tindertender

“All who are born will die; all who are born will grieve; all who are born are one shared spirit. We are each and all a part of the Be-ing of the Goddess, the Mother, the Earth. In this time of transition, change, and death on the planet, there is no time or space for the denial of death, the denial of living, or the denial of each other. There is only time for recognition and for love.” ~ Understanding the Soul’s Journey by Diane Stein

Q: Are you afraid to use your knowledge and fly to new heights and realms? Are you using your knowledge to move forward?

A: Oh how I long for new heights and realms! Today I will learn and move forward.

Over the generations of history, people have been squeezed into smaller and smaller fields of vision. They forgot over time that they are connected to all that is. Too often they see themselves as singular, small, disconnected from everything. I know exactly how this is, for I lived my first 36 years believing myself alone … alone in this body, with no one who understood my plight.

During the last 20 years I have broken barriers, swam thru the abyss, survived the invisible paws attempting to harness and draw me down into a place of despair. It wasn’t easy.

The internet has assisted in the process of awakening, of connecting, but it is still only a substitute for the truest connections we share with the unseen … those Guides, Guardians and Angels assisting daily, psychic friends and family working on behalf of the sacredness of life in every now moment, and the Ancient One’s who never left, who never stopped pouring forth love into this realm, and others.

Most folks simply had the ability to truly connect trained right out of them, replaced by an inferior ‘program’. Thankfully, with the Light being shown upon all faces, with the Schumann Resonance rising, and individual vibration increasing, these connections are being made once more.

I am not alone when I say I feel the presence of my truest family, those in the unseen. And trust me when I tell you, I know of the opposition as well, and I see their works in the world more clearly than ever, for they forced themselves into my own personal experience.

Pulling my attention from the chaos makers, I focus on those who have never given up on the sacredness of life dwelling on this planet. I focus my attention here, on them, for what we put our attention on, grows … in presence, and in power. I choose the sacred, I choose the wayshowers, I choose those who have kept traditions alive, and I choose those who choose me, in a good way.

People really must decide on what it is they choose to empower with their attention, their focus, their energy, especially energy wrapped in emotion which increases its potency. Chaos cannot survive without our participation, for WE are the battery keeping it alive.

Now is the time, more than ever before, for us to choose wisely that which receives the gift of our Creatorship.

We are either ‘led’ my the media and hyperbole of fear inducing statements, coercing folks into making a decision or entering an unhealthy reality, or we turn off the crap, and get busy creating the life, the world, we wish to see manifest.

There are arguments that say we cannot make change for those things unless we shine a light on them. And to an extent, this is true. But we are not creating the ideal future for ourselves and others while we are giving our time and attention or our Light to a system of violation. Just imagine what this energy being ‘spent’ on dominators and their crimes would create if it were to be redirected into a beautiful alternative?

Walk away … walk away from it all.

A new earth is coming. A new earth where foods are plenty and pure, where love and union are seen as sacred, where family includes all who participate in the dream ….. and speaking of the dream … who’s dream are people responding to, empowering, keeping going? Abusive dominator culture, or freedom and self-sufficiency as a whole?

Some may think, for I know I did, that if we turn the other cheek and simply walk away from the drama, it might take over. Think of it logically tho …. it would not exist without active member participation. It would simply fizzle and be no more.

We are headed into a new reality alright … which one do you choose?

Against the Grain

Published November 29, 2021 by tindertender

You want birds to be able to fly under water. You want love to trump power. You want humanity to relate to each other as equals and to recognize the sacredness in you and in the world around you. You want to unleash the beauty that hides in even the ugliest of scenes or sentiments. You want to make possible what others say cannot be. You are a radical dreamer, a sacred rebel, and you bring the light of a more positive future to this world.

However, this can have its burdens. Deep within you may feel that you don’t really fit in with the rest of the world. Perhaps your sense of how things can be and how they really are, is so different to the smaller minds or more fearful hearts of many others that you are rarely received for all that you offer. This might make you feel frustrated, thwarted or lonely at times.

The universe so loves you for your unusual take on things, for the quirkiness in you that dares to honor that which is different and renders the impossible, possible. You must never, ever lose your unusual ways and become dry, serious, appropriate and conventional – not even for appearance’s sake – for you would lose your essence. You are here to show what life is about so much more than conventional success.

You are someone who lives and breathes in the depths of creative waters. You need to lose yourself to the flow of music, nature, dreams, imagination and fantasy, through art and literature, meditation, dance and in sensual surrender to the sacred waters of the ocean, the river, the lake – or the bathtub!

You must go against the grain. It is just your way. You are not one of the followers but one of the agitators. However, yours is not a force of disrespectful chaos. You are a loving catalyst and by simply being yourself, you constantly remind people that there is always another way. You are meant to be exactly who you are. You are meant to be the black sheep, the rainbow sheep or even the wild wolf in the flock of sheep! The daring butterfly spirit calling to the caterpillars – that is you. The price you pay for the gift of individuality is that you must take care of it and guard it so that you are not dulled down and conditioned into playing at being something you are not.

If this has happened, or ids threatening to happen, this oracle brings you comfort. You will always dream of birds that can fly underwater. You know that the true nature of your being can never be changed – at most, it could only be hidden for a time. Now is the time to accept who you are and allow your truths to be fully expressed. Don’t worry about the effects of going against the grain. When we are who we are in truth, we attract the support, protection and energy that we need to thrive. Your power comes from aligning your outward self with your inner truth, not with the general consensus. You will then find other dreamers, other wild butterflies and atypically colored sheep to join you in conjuring better visions for our world.

Healing process ::
Close your eyes and relax. Take seven deep breaths in and out as you bring your awareness into your body and the space that exists within your body.

When you are relaxed, imagine, sense or perceive a winding river of golden light that starts below your feet. Sense it gathering there as a pool of liquid golden energy. It has an intelligence of its own and it winds its way into beautiful patterns before you, flowing with grace and playfulness. This river of light symbolizes your life journey. Just notice it and enjoy it.

See that your life journey is unique. You may focus on your own river of life or expand your awareness to sense the rivers of light that represent the journeys of those around you. You may see, sense or feel that their paths are unique to them also. No-one has the exact same journey to take, even though we are all heading towards the one destination of absolute love.

Say the following aloud, “I honor myself. I honor the truth that I express through my very being. I accept the protection that I am offered so that I may go against the grain from a place of love and as an invitation for others to be open to life. So be it.”

When you are ready, simply open your eyes and sit quietly with your hand on your heart for a moment. You have completed your healing process.

Release the Dark Wound, Let Love Live

Published November 23, 2021 by tindertender

If we detach something from its source too soon, trying to force it to become what it is not yet ready or willing to become, we can unintentionally sap it of its strength and kill it. There is a dark wound in the consciousness of humanity which demands perfection and denies process. If you are thinking of publishers before you have even written the book, if you are comparing your unfinished song idea to the latest best-selling pop release, if you have decided you are not good enough or worthy enough to succeed before you’ve given it everything you’ve got and asked for divine help, then this dark wound has you in its grasp.

You have to let go of the death-grip of perfectionism and let yourself and your ideas live. Love is abundant, creative and inspiring. It moves us so much more joyously and creatively than fear. Honor the path of your own love – what inspires you, what feels exciting, joyful and perhaps even rather different? Let that live! Release the dark wounding of false belief. There are countless stories of vastly successful artists who very nearly binned the project that was making their career, because of the despair fostered by their own dark nature. They doubted. They were uncertain. Was their work any good? Was it useless? They struggled to believe in the right of a work to come to life, whether it was accepted, revered or rejected by others or not. They nearly lost their work to fear. Undoubtedly there have been many times when this has actually happened, and the work was not saved, not allowed to live. Do not let this happen to you. Whether something is meant to be a commercially-oriented venture or a more personal creation for your own therapeutic healing, it must be allowed to be, without judgement, without criticism, even without premature evaluation. It must be allowed to be what it is, and only time, love, patience and attention will reveal it.

Act on this immediately so that your path can continue under the protection of grace and wisdom.

Healing process ::
Say the declaration below out loud three times. Be in your heart and really feel what you are expressing.
I now choose of my own free will to release all cellular memories and belief systems based in the dark wound of criticism, judgement, shaming and fear, so that my creative, loving energy may thrive in a nourishing environment conducive to growth. Through all time and space, through all dimensions of my being, through unconditional love, so be it.
