I’m sure a lot of you have had this experience where … you’re growing as a person and people tend to treat you like you were eighteen months ago. And it’s really frustrating sometimes, when you’re growing up and becoming more capable … It is the same with a company, and the same with the press – the press is going to have a lag time. The best thing we can do about the press is to embrace them and … keep our eye on the prize … and the press and the stock price will take care of themselves. ~ Steve jobs
As you journey back home with your reward in tow, you realize this is more than a footpath. It’s a weave between who you used to be and who you are becoming. You don’t have to know exactly how this process will unfold from here on out, your only job is to keep your eyes on the prize and follow your North Star. At this moment, your North Star is hanging directly over the place where you started this journey. Consider George Bailey in the movie It’s a Wonderful Life. Once he completes his life review and has the epiphany that everyone would not be better off without him, he runs back to Bedford Falls, and is home in time to hug and kiss his family and hang the Christmas Star on the tree. He is in the same place as he started but is changed and willing to participate in life from a whole new perspective.
Mantra ::
I am connected with the celestial body of the universe, I have permission to shine at maximum wattage.
Acknowledge all the areas within yourself that are praiseworthy.
Every smile shared, every good action or even thought, aids in the betterment of the surrounding area and all within that area.
When we raise the vibration of our immediate vicinity others feel it, that pure energy.
Focusing on compassion with an attempt to understand, without judgment …
What hurts one, hurts the whole. Share a smile, project the love in your heart outward.
Make someone’s day … just because you can. There is power in kindness …
I wandered thru the forest for a couple hours this afternoon, what a wonderful treat.
I was thinking about one whom I await … who is already present in a certain fashion.
I look forward to the great unveiling.
Sang a little diddy about it …
On the way home a woman was decorating her yard. She informed me the ornamentals will be lit up between 5 and 9 pm. Guess I’ll be taking another trip out sometime soon.
Here’s a still shot of the area I enjoyed today, such beauty.
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.
Sacred Rebels oracle by Alana Fairchild
“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?
Just as we receive gifts in the physical world, through the thoughtfulness of others, to acknowledge how much we mean to them, so too we receive gifts on other levels – including the spiritual level.
A spiritual gift is something that happens through grace. We can ask for help and it may be given in response to that request. All requests for help are answered. A spiritual gift can also be given without us asking for anything at all – at least not consciously. Sometimes it is our hearts that cry out for help. While we are busy getting on with our to-do-lists, we don’t often stop to think about what our hearts might need. If we do, and an immediate solution is not obvious, we just get on with life either letting the issue be or taking the more painful option of dwelling on it without seeing how it might be resolved.
However, there is a loving benevolence in life that knows exactly what we need and how it can best come to us, even when we are not quite so clear. This force actively seeks to assist us in walking our life path. That loving sweetness is being offered to you now, or soon will be, in the form of a spiritual gift.
Your spiritual gift may be symbolic. It may be something that seems ordinary but holds a lot of meaning to you. You might think you are appreciating how lovely it looks, but it is the underlying energy that captures you. Something in the appearance, color or shape speaks to you and is, perhaps, answering an unspoken prayer. It is not the object that is the gift. That is just the wrapping. The actual gift is subtle, yet effective empowerment. It is like a spiritual booster shot that helps you move foreword in life with additional zing, extra strength and greater peace.
You will be empowered to accomplish tasks that you may have nearly, but not quite, been able to manage on your own through the bestowal of a spiritual gift.
The spiritual gift may or may not be recognizable to you. It may be very obvious – an offer, a windfall, a trip, a friendship, a new lover or a remarkable healing in a current relationship. It might be far more subtle and even more powerful such as a jolt of energy that allows you to perceive things differently all of a sudden and perhaps solve a problem that has been plaguing you. It will be bestowed as and when it is needed, in the form that will best serve the love in you.
Let yourself be helped. Assistance is coming your way so act on it and say yes. It is very significant as the assistance is coming from the hand of life itself. Trust it.
Trust in the things that you feel and say to others without knowing why. It moves them. You might not understand, but through trust you are allowing yourself not to over-think and censor yourself. As such you are able to become a vessel through which the spiritual gift can be passed onto others. Don’t block yourself. Let life happen through you. Only benefit can come from this.
Look, love is speaking to you directly here – so pay attention. Really feel the truth of what is being said and trust it! You are being helped!
It is simple to receive the gift that is headed your way. The healing process below will activate that for you.

Say, “Through unconditional love, I now accept the spiritual gifts that are bestowed upon me, with complete trust and gratitude. So be it.”
Sacred Rebels oracle by Alana Fairchild
Sometimes we believe what others tell us we are, as though the self we see reflected back to us through their eyes is truth. Yet the accuracy of a reflection depends on the clarity of that which is doing the reflecting! If the receiver forms any opinion about what is perceived then what is reflected back to us will, at best, be distorted. It is not necessarily through ill will, it is just the mechanics of the situation. Even the moon reflects the sun in varying degrees of fulness and clarity. We can learn something of the nature of sun and moon, but not as much as through direct perception.
You have been putting rather too much faith in the reflections others have of you – to the point that you might not be honoring all that you are and all that you are becoming, because you believe too little of yourself.
There may be those around you that are able to reflect you more faithfully, and even help you to see more of your own greatness and beauty. These are the souls blessed with inner stillness. In the clear waters of their ocean of consciousness, you can come to recognize yourself with clearer perception. However, there are those who have not tended to their own ocean, and are unable to be still enough to genuinely receive and reflect your light back to you. There is no judgement here. Each takes the path of self-healing that is available and appropriate at any given time. However, to attempt to see the magnificence of a sun in a very partial moon doesn’t make too much sense.
If you are blessed with those in your life who can show you the beauty within you, wonderful. Begin the art of direct perception. This is the ability to recognize yourself not only in the eyes of others, but from how you feel about yourself, how you experience yourself and how you observe yourself (with compassion and kindness) from within. This is a step towards a radical empowerment that does not require perfection in order for you to recognize you are loveable and have much to offer. It is empowerment based on the acceptance of all that you are, working with your strengths, tending to your weaknesses and being loving, encouraging and nurturing of all that you perceive.
As you continue on this journey, you will not only see your human self, but the eternal within you. This is a breath-taking experience that opens you up to the creative energy that flows abundantly through all life! You are being nudged into that preparation, for when you have the experience of truly beholding yourself, all judgement, fear and doubt will fall away and you will just know yourself to be sacred. Then you will be asked to embrace the deeper journey of sacred rebellion against judgement and fear, and into passionate creativity and unconditional trust in life.
If you are getting confused about who you are and your motives or actions based on what others are saying or how they are responding to you, step back. In your quest to be a responsible person, you may be unintentionally taking on the feelings of others, making their reflections of you more than they are in truth. More often than not reflections are more about the state of the reflector that what is being reflected. Let those external perceptions go. Can you just acknowledge yourself? Do so and be free!

Say with feeling, “I now break any contract I have ever made with another, consciously or unconsciously, that has given them power over me, power over my sense of self, the authority to approve or reject me or anything about me, including my voice, body, creativity, spirituality and way of living. Of my own free will, I now choose to directly perceive my own inner beauty and turn within with kindness and compassion to see myself though the eyes of unconditional love. So be it.”
Sacred Rebels oracle by Alana Fairchild
The sower of the fine seed is the Son of man; the field is the world; as for the fine seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; but the weeds are the sons of the wicked one, and the enemy that sowed them is the Devil. The harvest is a conclusion of a system of things, and the reapers are angels. Therefore, just as the weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be in the conclusion of the system of things. The Son of man will send forth his angels, and they will collect out from his kingdom all things that cause stumbling and persons who are doing lawlessness, and they will pitch them into the fiery furnace. There is where their weeping and the gnashing of their teeth will be. At that time the righteous ones will shine as brightly as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let him that has ears listen.
The kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid; and for the joy he has he goes and sells what things he has and buys that field.
Again the kingdom of the heavens is like a traveling merchant seeking fine pearls. Upon finding one pearl of high value, away he went and promptly sold all the things he had and bought it.
Again the kingdom of the heavens is like a dragnet let down into the sea and gathering up fish of every kind. When it got full they hauled it up onto the beach and, sitting down, they collected the fine ones into vessels, but the unsuitable they threw away. That is how it will be in the conclusion of the system of things: the angels will go out and separate the wicked from among the righteous and will cast them into the fiery furnace. There is where their weeping and the gnashing of their teeth will be.
