I received this (repeatedly) first in February 2010 in channelings during a huge download of information. So fast that I couldn't scribble fast enough, and could barely read it later when I tried to go back to see what I had transmitted. Problem was, I had no idea what it meant.

I had never heard of metaphysics, vibrations, higher consciousness or any of this other stuff that has come to drive my entire being. Little did I know what all would come of those 5 little "weird" words.

Everything is energy. You, me, that table, that rock, light, music, those tones we hear in our head/ears. Everything affects everything and it is so much more massive than we ever imagined.

First, the logical mind cannot in any way fathom this reality. It is not possible. For one to even start to understand they have to have begun their awakening in order to separate consciousness.  The thinking mind and awareness become different entities. We become two beings in one body. Our ego/intellectual/reasoning mind-self and our heart-self. The two no longer co-exist as one being. Then the duel ensues. We become aware of duality.

The ego mind-self then feels threatened. It goes into survival mode in order to maintain power & control. But we feel things like we never realized before. Everything we have suppressed our entire physical life wants to surface. Misery and suffering become household words. And the walls come tumbling down.

We start to become aware that our thoughts are dysfunctional and attract everything to us that we don't want. But how oh how do we deal with this? We have always BEEN our thoughts and now we are to just shut them down? Yep. And since our thoughts are done by "habit" we spend 24/7 trying to break the habit of the biggest monster of an addiction that has owned us. And it is not going down without a fight. And it does NOT fight fair. It scares the crap out of us with fear, it feeds our insecurities by trying to enforce the old system of not good enough or can't. It even creates pain in our physical body! 

But then we start to understand that our hearts are stronger, wiser, and truer. Our heart doesn't betray us, lead us down those windy roads of chaos & confusion. Our hearts know everything inside that we have been trying to figure out forever. But then we feel vulnerable. Oh no, there must be something wrong with me, it hurts! Nope, that is the mind again playing tricks.

Learning to become an observer of everything removes us from the role of participator. We "step outside" and look down at a situation to see the bigger picture. We start to "see" things we never could before. We learn to start paying attention to every thought that comes through and we see how dysfunctional and dishonest our mind is. How could we think such things!

Learning that our thoughts are created (yep they are) and learned, we realize that we have the power just to change our thoughts. Don't like that one? Change it. Pick a different one. We are the only one inside our head now. It's not our parents, it's not our ex's, it's not anyone. It is a separate entity called the ego mind. And it serves a purpose of duality, for which we all came here to experience and to learn from. 

An emotion is a response to a thought. And if a thought is created, then our emotions are created too. Hmmm. So if we can change our thoughts, we can just choose a different thought & therefore choose/create a different emotion? NO KIDDING! Now that is powerful! Exactly.

Everything of a low vibration is of the mind. Everything of a high vibration is of the heart. We are evolving into heart-centered beings of love & light. In order to get there, we have to diminish the dysfunction of the ego-mind and learn to trust our hearts and higher guidance. This takes a lot of practice and is a 24/7 job. It does get "tiring" and it can be challenging, as we are now responsible for everything we think. Once we have awareness, we also have choice. Now we have to make a choice that is right. And the ego-mind does not like that. That is what it deems uncomfortable. But wait, that too is a feeling. Wow, another created feeling!

Every dis-ease, every physical ailment, every addiction, everything we "don't like" is in response to low-vibrational energy (thoughts). Once we are aware of this and work to release everything of low-vibration we can start to release everything that no longer serves a purpose. 

There are many awesome tools that help us do this. It no longer has to be as painful as it was in the past and we don't have to suffer the way we used to. We have awareness and the ability to change things instantly just by changing our thoughts. We can be free! We can be healthy! We can be pain free, dis-ease free. Question is, is your heart-mind stronger than your ego-mind? Do you want it bad enough? Because that IS what it takes to get through this. Freedom, enlightenment, inner peace & love are all now a choice.

Walk with me if you will.

In love,

Lisa

Once we start down this spiritual path of awakening, we get on a rampage. We want it all now. We want to know "what is our purpose". We are shown a glimpse here & there on different things, but we just want more! 

That is our ego selves. I want or I need. The higher heart/self needs or wants for nothing. It  takes things as they come, knowing that when it is time... we all have to learn how to release our ego selves and this is a continual thing. It never goes away, but it does diminish control, if we are persistent with our hearts over the strength of our ego-will.  For many of us, our egos have to be "broken" (i.e. bottoming out or stripped away), to take us to a place where we will allow our heart centers to emerge. We have protected them for so long, we don't know how to just step back and "allow" them to be vulnerable (that is not weak and there is a difference.)

Along my journey, I have "wanted to know" so many times. I always get "when you are ready". I have been getting this message periodically the last couple years. So, luckily, I understood. I "let go" of my need to control how anything happened and continued with flow. I followed "the signs", I learned, I "received" information, I researched (they give me "things" that I am to learn and figure out myself), I listened, and I continued to grow. I would want the next "piece of my puzzle" and I would again get "when you are ready". And I was like "o.k.", and I kept going, keeping my ego at bay, no interference from me. 

I would get "you are doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing at this moment." And understanding that "at this moment" that was all that mattered, that was good enough for me. My ego no longer rules, so not a problem!

I have been in a learning, listening, receiving, following the "instructions I am given" mode for the last year & 1/2. It has not been easy. Complete trust can be rough! I have had to overcome my mind, which is 100% of the duality issues we have to learn from and resolve "here". I spend 24/7 in healing mode with self and others. I breathe love & healing. (Yes, physical world stuff interferes with that, but hopefully in a much different way as we grow, and how lessens to almost nil.)

I am like a walking "awakening computer". Those I work with get a massive amount of information every time they are around me, in session, whatever... their brains are blown and they have to walk away to "absorb" it all. But that is part of it all. We have these brains that are stronger than we are and we have to "think" everything through and figure it out for ourselves. Our ego even needs to control "that" part of our "growth", until "that" day when it "clicks" and we go "ahhhhh". In that moment everything changes for us all and our consciousness separates. We are no longer participators in this thing we call life. Not on the same level we were before. We have "awoken". 

Our "brains" are like processors. The ego is like a virus/worm that silently moves through our being and destroys us. (Thanks Tandi for that comment!) Our physical bodies are the "case" and and the components. And the virus continues to "kill" the components (thoughts & emotions being anchored in the system). We receive information from the universe and we have to "process it". If our ego is strong enough it will override what we get and "store" it away in our cases. When the issue is detrimental (immediately or over long term), it begins to destroy our components. It also eats away at our spirit (our software programs?, as we all are like different software programs, some creative, some logical, etc.) When we experience an awakening, we start to go in and "clean" all of that stuff up. We have to re-program ourselves, run our own anti-virus program that we come to learn works for US. This takes time, as not only do we have to clean the software, but we have to repair the hardware also. For some, the damage is not as substantial. For others, we are on our "last leg" or our "blue screen of death" if you will. 

We are then able to start accessing our "coded" information that we couldn't before. This is what we call re-membering. It was buried by the virus (ego)  in duality. We start to receive "downloads", but reboots (sleep & naps) are required, much of the time really often, to catch us up to speed.  These downloads and these codes are all there, but not accessible in the crazy/busy times or before we are "ready". It is through quieting the mind, taming the ego, and in our sleep that we start to de-code. For those who refuse to sleep, you are soooo cheating yourselves. Feel like you need a nap, middle of day... yep, that is for a purpose. Your ego says no, can't do that. I am too busy. Just the words tell the universe "you are not ready".

EVERYTHING we speak or think has energy & it transmits instantly/simultaneously without our even knowing it. It is of the utmost importance to get "straight" if we want to do anything other than what we have been doing.

WHEN our spirit takes over and our physical body becomes an "energy" to communicate with, a separate being, one that we treat with the utmost respect, it will start to return the same. Every time we say "I don't care" before we eat something or do something we know we "shouldn't", we transmit energetically that low-vibrational frequency to our body.  When we choose not to change our being, our thoughts, we make a choice. "NO". And that has it's own frequency. That is a block. 

Our thoughts are the most important thing we have in this process. They are what dictates everything to us energetically. They are what give us the ability to communicate telepathically and to everything simultaneously and on an energetic level. It is imperative that we bring this area into light in order for the rest to occur. Light Body Integration. 

I have clients, group members, those I meet daily,  who FIGHT the talking process. THEY don't feel that is important. THEY just want to get onto the energetic healing, because THEY have tried everything and nothing worked. It HAS to be something outside of just talking, but it's not. THE talking that I do is something that the Universe has provided me the tools through every exchange I have had thus far to be able to do what I do. THAT, I can't teach another. I can't teach them to "tune-in" to the memories stored in the soul or energetic field to "see what I see". Because I can "step outside of self" and go to that higher place of oneness, where I no longer exist, I can cross over into other timelines/dimensions and "see" things creating an issue, an unexplained fear, a carried-over physical ailment that has never made sense.... because I understand that all times are one, I actually don't "go anywhere" it all folds into that one space where we exist so that I can access it. Energetically, that can then be brought up for healing. But only if the person is not blocking and only if they are ready. The logical mind will interfere every time. I have to "break" a person's logic to get them to open up enough to "go there". As long as THEY decide how a session will run, it will never happen. I can only open the door for the person to "go where I go" to learn to "access" the same.... the rest is up to how much they are willing to let go of in order to "be" in a space and not exist.

Last week I got up to "new information" coming through with "what I am to do", where this all fits into the larger picture (for now, as it continues to upgrade as I do!), and how things are to unfold, and to GET BUSY! I also got that there are many others intended, as we are all to work together, but I also got that it would only happen when they were ready and not all are.  The Universe decides this, our own duality decides this.

Yesterday I got "that I was ready", so I opened up to the universe and acknowledged (very important, as we all have free will), "ok, I am ready, bring it on. I will take whatever you throw at me" and in the past when I said that, I felt hesitation, fear, doubt... this time that was not there. I knew, it was time. (A friend told me one time, be careful about saying "bring it on" as the universe WILL bring it on and if you are not ready it can throw one upside down into utter chaos & more.) 

Today I woke up and "heard" "You are ready"... and I knew.

When we worry about everyone other than us, we are affected by everyone else. Physically, mentally, energetically, in every way.

As an empath, being around others used to just drive me over the edge. I couldn't take it. Crowds, movies, public places like grocery stores... no way! Everyone else drove ME crazy... little did I know that once I shifted my focus inward, started to look at myself, my stuff, my issues, my responses, that it would all change. 

Learning that others were our triggers was a foreign concept for a long time. I was like "huh"?  I started to pay even more attention to others and what was going on with THEM in order to figure my own self out. A "teacher" even taught me to do this every waking moment of every day to the point of obsession.  It was still easier than looking in the mirror (even though I was, and didn't understand that either). 

They had pain, my heart hurt. They had ego issues, I got a migraine. They were insecure, my chakras went berzerk. I stayed so focused on them, that I became a "professional" watcher! I could tell you everything wrong with someone else. I was exceptional at knowing what was wrong in their little world. It did teach me to start paying attention to my responses, and through that I started to learn about myself. I started to see where my own pain, lack, blocks, issues were. Then I had to go inward. This started a whole new learning curve for me.

It wasn't until I realized that it had nothing to do with them. My world was my world. My issues were my issues. They were just a tool for me to learn more about me; to start to heal me. Wow, new concept. Now I had to learn to focus on myself! Jeesh... I could have skipped years of focusing on others if only.... 

Now, others don't matter. I can use what I feel in my body to detect subtle energy imbalances when working in a healing session or "teaching" mode with them. Otherwise, not mine to be concerned with. Wow, I had to go all the way around the world for that little tid-bit... so now I help others cut to the chase... no one cares what is up with the other person. It is all about us!

If you want to truly see what you see, stop for a minute and "reflect" on your experiences, your past thus far, in this physical lifetime. Go through everything that you think "made you what you are" to this moment. 

What are your thoughts? Are they ones of being a survivor, overcoming, enduring, abuse, negativity, lost experiences, poor relationships, abandonment or being without? Or are they of love and happiness and bliss?

On a physical level, no one has that "perfect" childhood/life. We all have obstacles, we all have hurdles, and we most certainly all have pain. We all also all have pleasant experiences, ones of absolute wonder. BUT, what does your mind go to first? Are they ones of sadness and pain or ones of happiness and love? This is a very telling sign of how we really, truly "think".

By using that realization, we can start to move through & clear, on a level of release, those things in our minds, OUR thoughts, that we perceive as memories. "Pull" that memory into your present moment. Is it technically happening right now? No, it is a thought. And we can choose to release a thought. Only when we choose to not live in "pain" anymore, subject to our thoughts, we can then choose to let them go. They are done, they are past, they are finished. They have served their purpose. Only if we "choose" pain, choose being stuck, do we still have something to learn, forgive heal. Who are you punishing with your pain? When will you decide you've had enough & choose a lighter choice... and let it go? When are you enough? When do you decide? Because ultimately, what you think, is your choice.

For those that find it hard to "let go"... the ego/intellect/reasoning mind is a bugger. It interferes. So there are tools, there are other resources that are available in helping us with "the way" that works best for us. There are a multitude of options that we didn't have access to before. The first is awareness. The second is choice.

I love you and now it is time for you to love you just as much.

In kindness,

Lisa 

Is that about me? Nope, but if you even entertain the thought that it MIGHT be, then indirectly, it probably is. 

I get this question all the time from everyone about my blog posts. This is written with the lightest heart,  and a bit of fun and a mention of "hmmm" maybe in there too. 

We are all mirrors, are we not? The only way we can even "comprehend" something is if it is meant for us. Otherwise we don't pay any attention to it, we blow it off as whatever and we keep going. It's the things that "stop" us and get our attention that we are supposed to pay attention to, is it not?

When I write about anger, control, ego, blame, struggle, pain, etc. I do this from a "my understanding" viewpoint. Some are my logical brain posts where I just "work through things" that I encounter. Others are my "higher self" understandings which take on a whole new aspect of their own.  Both serve a purpose, so both get posted here. 

I have many conversations that "spark" a blog post. Just the last few day, tons of them. Many are reflections of things I observe or recall. Some are the "advice" or comments that "fall" out of my mouth when I "teach" or just speak in every day interactions.  Some are "channeled" and some are "experiential".

I have experienced everything. Have, do, will. I have been journaling since early 1990's (I need to go back and see when that started). Writing is a huge part of what I do. It started out as my own "therapy" years ago. Now I use it to help others while working through my own stuff and continue on my own journey of awakening.

We all have daily, physical struggles. We are not "special" because of these. Sorry to say. I could choose to sit and list every struggle, but it doesn't serve a purpose right now. We continue to face the same struggles, challenges, issues, etc. until we "get it", accept it, and let it go.

So, if you identify with something here, I would hope you would use that as an indicator that it is meant to bring your attention to something that you need to focus on for yourself. I write this with the highest love possible, knowing what it is to have to struggle through something. Difference is, we don't have to struggle as "badly" as we do, as we tend to create our own chaos & our own conflicts.  There is ease in going with the flow, and not working against ourselves.

So, if you are reading this and you are wondering if I am writing it about you, you already know your own answer. Technically it wasn't, but when you ask that question, then it IS! lol

(Now, I wrote this out of fun, because it was a fun topic, but I am sure many will get their feathers ruffled. Sorry, but not really. I LOVE YOU!) 

When we find ourselves being "challenged", things we have a hard time dealing with, things that aggravate us, anger us, get the "best" of us... stop, and ask the question "What is it that I am fighting against?"

Much of the time it is a control issue or one where we have gotten backed into a corner. If we are honest, if we truly allow ourselves to "go there", it will not be the "thing" we are challenging or upset about.

This is what we have to work to resolve, release, clear. 

The other is just tool to bring it to our attention, to show us it is there. What we do with that is up to us.

Chaos and turmoil... all over duality. But yet, it is our lesson to learn, is it not? Among those dualities is our egoic need to hang on. THOSE are our identities: people, situations, things, feelings, memories, relationships, virtually everything outside of ourselves. 

We are being stripped... stripped of everything that our ego "needs". One by one, little by little. And this is not an "easy" thing to experience. Or is it?

It's not the "thing" that is the issue, it is the attachment to it. We don't HAVE to lose everything, but we do have to lose anything of low-vibration attached to it. Anytime some"thing" or some"one" overrides what is innately right and true, we will be "forced" eventually to "let it go".  How much we have to endure is entirely up to us.

When the focus is on the thing, then we lose "sight" of the purpose of it all.  We are prompted to release on our own. We are given gentle little nudges by the universe, but we don't like that. We don't want to listen. It is too uncomfortable. We NEED that. After all, it IS what makes us us, isn't it?

It is that thought alone that causes our anguish and misery while we fight losing it or letting it go. It is our own attachment to it that puts us in that place to start with. For it is so much simpler, so much less painful, so much easier just to "let it go" isn't it? Then why do so many of us fight and kick and scream and do everything we can not to? Who are we if we don't have that thing, that relationship, that job, that house, that car, those clothes, that certification, that money, that stuff? 

I have lived it and I was one of those who fought, kicked, screamed, cried and eventually let go of each thing one by one. I stand here with my heart in my hand and in complete bliss and still continue to share with everything that I am. And I have peace. I have unconditional love and gratitude. I have what others seek & strive for and eventually will come to find/experience in their own way, however they choose (or don't choose) to experience it. 

Do I have my "struggles"? Yep, we all do. How I view them are different now. And how I experience them gets easier & easier as I continue to gain trust in the Universe as I continue as one with it and not a separate entity of I. 

Every time I lallow myself to get a bit side-tracked, start to lose faith, decide I need to step in and that I know better than what I "know" through higher guidance, I am gently reminded to re-center, re-balance, re-member what I am a part of.  And it is much bigger than my "little self" can ever create in this physical world! 

In order to release ourselves from our pasts (which includes every moment up to this one), we have to accept it all first. Being able to look at everything (individually or on a whole) and say "I accept it all" or "It's o.k." is part of letting go. If there is even one little part of us that doesn't accept every little detail as o.k. then we can't let it go. The part we usually can't accept is the part we need to blame. Blame ourselves or another. This thought system keeps us victim to it. Being victim means we can't let go. Then we can't forgive (ourselves or the other person, as there is always both). 

Choosing to let go gets easier. It takes practice. The first one is usually the hardest. Sometimes later we will hit "core" issues that didn't come up before, and we have to do it ALL over again. But it's still alright. Holding on is what hurts us. Letting go is what frees us. Release a block, release self. Let it go. Say "I accept it" and move forward. 

From this point forward, those things that come up are in our "conscious awareness" zone. We are now participant on a whole new level. Anything that now occurs is a choice. There is no blame or victim in a choice. There is also nothing to hold on to or to release later, as we start to learn to release "as things occur". This ROCKS!

It is part of the process and the sooner we free ourselves the sooner we can move to the "next" thing to release!

I hear it from so many "looking back" trying to figure out "why" an experience happened "to them". I used to do this, and so I totally "get it". The way we "understand" things as we grow changes and how we "see" things does too.

In the beginning, I used to have to "dissect" every single experience, every single emotion, every single response... then one day I realized so many different little things that helped me move forward and let go.

First, every experience will cause a ripple affect of things that it "touches" later for the purpose it served. The "reason" that we understand "at that moment" will be whatever we need to understand. A moment later, a week later, years later, the purpose "for us" may completely change. Our views change, the things we learned changes. We have such a broader view as we grow. Our logical mind (ego/intellect/reasoning mind) is the only thing that "needs" to know anything actually. 

But then, we start to realize that the experience WAS the purpose and it wasn't all those little things we "focused" on before. That every experience serves a multitude of purposes for us and for everyone actually. Being able to see it as the purpose allows us to not have to focus on the little things anymore. It just is. If we get it, it served it's purpose. If not, then we will keep "learning/experiencing" until we do. 

How cool! Just another thing to be so very grateful for. :)

One of the first signs that a new soul is in the process of awakening is to hear that they are an empath and are completely overwhelmed with everything outside of themselves. It is this "gift" that shows that they are starting to experience what many of us already have. 

The new wave of Awakeners, they are in most need of direction and guidance. They are bound to figure it out "on their own" but we can help them stumble less, but only when they are ready.

We can provide tools without them even knowing that is what we are doing. As it is our "job" isn't it? It is not our place to "tell" anyone anything... but to lead the way with light, love, kindness and compassion. Sharing our own experiences & tools that we have come to realize/understand can help another expedite, but only if they are ready. 

The one thing we have to do is come from a pure heart. We cannot allow our own stuff to get in the way. This is not about us any longer. As we ourselves continue to ascend, we are offered the continued opportunity to raise vibration & awareness. 

So the next time you hear a desperate "empath" say that things are just too overwhelming or that they are picking up on low-vibrational frequencies, remember where we started and how important another was in our own growth. Then reach out your hand and offer love.
