December 2006

You live in times of great change and increasing amounts of uncertainty. The acceleration of energy spoken about in recent months is fully underway. The rapid pace with which life everywhere is unfolding can cause even the seasoned person to feel overwhelmed when travelling the path of spirit. Look around you on any given day and you will notice a level of chaos and seemingly nonsensical happenings unheard of in earlier cycles. You will also discover that many issues previously hidden in the secret chambers of your institutions and society at large are now being illuminated for all to see. Simply seeing an injustice or a taboo pattern, of course, isn’t enough to eliminate it. Likewise, it’s not enough to pass legislation that makes unacceptable behaviour a crime.

Punishment has been used throughout history, including by religions and politicians and families. Because it has been so pervasive for so long, there is not one human anywhere who is free of its ill effects. Punishment is a control mechanism. By its very nature, it is faulty and ego-based, rather than spirit-based.

Enlightened awareness is not birthed from rigid rules. It is a consciousness that can develop within each person. Since all beings everywhere are connected, each step towards more awareness that you take has great repercussions for the people and other sentient beings around you. Do not underestimate this when you question whether you are doing enough to change the fate of your world. All of your inner work, including that addressing your struggle in grappling with personal challenges, does count!

The path of travelling with spirit is certainly not an easy one. The path can seem a bit like a brand new pavement which stretches as far as the eye can see. The pavement is smooth and feels more stable than the old unpaved road. There is a catch, though. A trip along this freshly-paved road for even a short distance makes it obvious that the highway workers left unfinished some customary elements. These include the road dividers, lane markings, directional signs and emergency call boxes. These finishing touches are nowhere to be seen!

Imagine you are driving your car along such a road. The road signs that used to be there before the road was resurfaced are gone. You may have an intuitive or even a visual sense of where you are from the landmarks, at least in your familiar neighbourhood. What happens, however, when you travel beyond that? How do you know where the carpool lane is or where to turn off to get to your destination? What do you do if you should get a flat tire and your cell phone gets no service in that area?

To be sure, it can be scary to find yourself on such a road without remembering that you have just the tools you need. Those tools are found by looking inside yourself and to your connection with spirit. That is where you will find the answers, the direction, and the assistance needed for the times you become confused or stuck without your worldly signs of navigation. That old way of moving became obsolete when you chose the higher road of spirit. It’s normal to have moments when you forget that worldly maps are useless on the new road. When that forgetting happens, you may fall back into old habits of trying to force outcomes or to control others. You may even find yourself becoming angry at God or your spiritual guidance team, feeling somehow abandoned during your time of need. If you discover you have had a temporary lapse of forgetfulness, be willing to forgive yourself and move on. Refuse to get caught up in judging yourself for the length of your lapse or the damage you fear it caused. Simply let go and invite spirit to help you get back on track.

Process for Renewal & Reconnection

Whenever you feel the need for a renewal or deepening of your trust in spirit, take a time out from your everyday activities and concerns and sit in quiet contemplation. Give yourself permission to take this time. Find a quiet place where you will be undisturbed for a little while. Centre yourself and relax by closing your eyes and breathing in and out a few times. Being as relaxed as possible will help you to make a more tangible connection. Don’t rush it, but once you feel relaxed, imagine that a part of you becomes like a ball of golden light and gently travels high up above your space. From this higher perspective, invite your Higher Self to work with you in tangible ways and to show you how to walk with more openness. Ask to be reconnected to your heart and to remember what’s really important. Request help in letting go of the nonessentials. That’s just excess baggage you really don’t need for the next phase. Give your Higher Self permission to help you dismantle the obstacles that prevent you from opening fully to the Divine. Ask for a renewal of your energy, to include a lifting of sadness or other heavy emotions that colour your view of what’s possible. Take a few minutes to be still, allowing spirit to work with you energetically. During this time, you may also receive intuitive flashes of insight, but don’t force it. Simply allow yourself to be in a space of relaxed focused awareness, paying attention to any messages you receive. Know that oftentimes the insights appear hours or days later. Trust the Divine timing of this, and remind yourself that you have given spirit permission to help you change. Allow the seeds of that change to begin to grow within you. Remind yourself that there is a plan for your life, and that as chaotic as some days are, you and spirit are in a process of co-creating this plan to manifest in the world. When you feel complete, express your gratitude to your Higher Self and feel its unconditional love for you before gently returning back to your body and normal consciousness. After you feel grounded back in your body, you may wish to record what you have experienced. Writing down even a few key words can help you to access the energy and information at a later time.

If you are at a major crossroads or in deep despair over a seemingly unsolvable issue, you will benefit from repeating this process regularly. Sometimes you may feel the need to ask questions about your life. At other times, you may simply have a desire for renewal and replenishment. Regardless, with each connection like this that you make, you can begin to feel more hopeful and more peaceful within. As you broadcast this higher vibrational energy, you create a more positive present and future.

As you continue the journey of rediscovering your Divine nature, we surround you with our love and blessings. We are The Council of 12.
