Honesty And Freedom

Honesty is one of the most admired qualities.  Most people say they want their life partners, children, friends, and if possible everyone to be honest.  Yet we also know it’s so damn hard to be honest.  

Why does honesty elude us like this?  How can we retain our honesty and integrity? 

Freedom as prereq of honesty

I don’t believe we are destined to be dishonest.  It’s far easier to be honest and say things as they are, rather than twisting the facts and then remembering how we twisted them so that our stories are consistent, often leading us to tell even more lies.  Dishonesty doesn’t feel good and undermines our sense of dignity.  

Yet we lie because most of us don’t realize we have the prerequisite of honesty: freedom.  Complete freedom to say what it is.  Freedom not to worry about the consequences of our honest expression.  

Say you find your employer is compromising the law.  Can you stand up and say honesty that you don’t agree with the practice?  You know you will lose your job if you do so.  Can you still be honest?  Remember Arthur Anderson?  Many otherwise good people compromised their honesty because they were afraid of their job security (and ended up losing their jobs anyway).

Or say you find your friend eating so unhealthy, she is overweight and risking health issues, can you simply express your concern, without any manipulation nor sugarcoating the facts?  Why not?  Because you are afraid of offending her feeling and losing her friendship?  Are you and your friend in friendship voluntarily or do you need her as friend?  

Freedom and autonomy

To feel free, most people need autonomy.  Financial, emotional, and mental autonomy.  

It’s extremely hard to be honest to your employer when your (and your family’s) livelihood is dependent on it.  I don’t object the system of employment at this time, but to usher in the New World based on Truth, it’s a good idea to cultivate our inner entrepreneur.  (Whew, this blog Yes to Me started as entrepreneurship blog, and although it may appear I meandered around into spirituality, I actually have consistency at the base!) Financial autonomy promotes honesty.  

Emotional autonomy means you own your feelings.  No one makes you happy or unhappy.  With or without friends, you are you.  Without this emotional autonomy, relationships of any kind become more about codependency rather than free association.  

Mental autonomy is the ability to think for yourself.  It involves questioning widely accepted social norms and opinions of “authorities”.  

To be completely clear, I’d like to note that autonomy is only a desired ground for freedom, not a necessity.  Because everyone is free on the spiritual level (more on this toward the end of this article) and no one is completely autonomous.  We are interdependent in this world and that is wonderful.  You can be honest while relying on a single source of income, while being emotionally supported by others, and while you are learning and building your own thoughts.  

Still autonomy is very helpful.  Without autonomy (in the conventional sense), we are like slaves.  For a slave to speak up honestly, it takes a degree of “dumbness”, to be ready to die or go on the street anytime as a consequence of his honesty.  And I put “  “ around dumbness because I think this kind of dumbness is good.  It may be based on spiritual belief that we are always supported by God regardless how things may look like.  

Teaching honesty to your children

Most parents want their children to be honest, yet they are unaware of the inherent dilemma they themselves need to resolve to let their children be honest.  Because children ARE dependent on parents.  Children don’t have autonomy, especially financial and emotional autonomy.  They are even dependent physically. 

So how can you let your child know they are free to express their thoughts and feelings honestly?  That they are loved no matter what?  And do you really mean it?  

As long as the parent’s mindset is like, “I want you to be honest, my child, but if you tell me you are the one who broke my favorite vase, I will be upset and won’t talk to you for the rest of the day.” (manipulation and lack of emotional autonomy), they are setting up their child to be dishonest, not honest.   And mandatory honesty is not true honesty.  

I know this is difficult.  Parents are humans, too, still in their development stage, with all kinds of shortcomings.  I just thought being aware of this dilemma may be helpful.  

Further, I think the key in this dilemma is to realize that your child is not your possession at all.  Your child came from the spiritual world to play the role of your child, just as you came to this world to play a certain role.  You are only serving them in their growth in this world.  (Some people call this, “Children are from God.”)  

Honesty to oneself before honesty to others

Honesty starts within.  Before we express ourselves honestly, we need to be aware of what we are thinking and feeling.  Really.  So often, we don’t examine our honest thoughts and feelings and prematurely adopt socially accepted ideas.  

For instance, many people have problem facing their desires, whether the desire is about luxury cars, sex, or the desire to quit the current cushy job to do something they really like to do.  If you resonate with this statement, you are actually better off than most.  People who have serious problem being honest to themselves are in denial.  They may get upset at people who honestly admits such desires and actively accuse them.  

Monogamy and honesty

It would be dishonest by omission if I skip the issue of fidelity in this article about honesty.  So here is my personal opinion. 

I quit subscribing to the idea of monogamy recently because I see inherent issue of honesty in it.  In monogamous relationship, each partner expects the other to be faithful.  This set expectation — lack of freedom — is ground for dishonesty.  If I meet another attractive man while in monogamous relationship, my choices are:

1. I lie to myself and decide I felt nothing to keep my self image of a “good” faithful person. 
2. I be honest with myself but choose to take no action, to stay faithful to my partner.
3.  I be honest with myself but lie to my partner to keep his dream of fidelity, leading myself to cheat. 
4. I be honest with myself and to my partner, leading to potential breakup.  

I may have no problem choosing #2, but I’m not sure if expecting my partner to always choose #2 is a healthy reasonable expectation. 
And I value honesty more than security and steadiness of relationship.  I’d rather have an honest lover than dishonest / confused one who makes love only to me.    

If I feel insecure when I hear him talk about other women (or men, for that matter), that is my issue, not his, not ours.  I own my feelings.  Same with differences in values and opinions.  He may have different opinions than mine, and that is fine with me.  I know that doesn’t undermine the worth of my opinion.  

I don’t want to lock up someone — anyone.  I don’t think I can justify doing so in the name of love.  And I don’t like to be locked up, either.

Does this mean I’m against monogamous relationship?  No.  If two individuals are happy together, that is wonderful — let’s celebrate!  It’s when such condition is enforced, either by manipulation or by social brain washing, that I have a  with.  (A common way of social brain washing is the promotion of soulmate.) 

Can you let your partner be who he or she is?  Can you let them express themselves freely?  Can you honestly say what is on your mind?    

You are free

In conclusion, I’d like you to realize you are already free.  Whether you have achieved financial, emotional, and mental autonomy or not, and whether you feel free or not, you are free.  It is yet another layer of illusion to believe you are not.  

Free will is the primary right and responsibility in this universe.  You can even choose not to feel free, to believe you are enslaved, and you are still accepted as you are.  Free will is such an essential part of life that God even allows us to go against the Light, to become darkworkers.   

I hope this deep sense of acceptance and freedom helps you build your life based on honesty and truth.  (Photo by victor nuno)

Creating The New World, Part 3 Truth

This is the third part of the Creating The New World series.  I know many people feel disempowered, overwhelmed, and confused in their lives and about the world.  We have given up so much of our own power.  But the truth is you do have the power to create.  

The time can’t be better because Light Ascension brings unusual opportunity to change.  So we are exploring the possibilities of how the New World can be built on Love, Light, Truth, Abundance, and Power. 

How can we know Truth?

Truth may seem ever so elusive.  There are so many conflicting opinions.  One idea that seemed to work ceases to be effective over time.  And there have been so many bad things like war and other killings done by the name of truth. 

What is Truth and how can we know Truth?

There are two approaches:

1. Seeking Truth in someone who knows better, either directly or through books, etc. 
2. Finding Truth directly from the Source within

Seeking Truth outside of ourselves

 This is what we usually do.  We are socially conditioned to think there are authorities who know better than we do and the the best thing we can do is to consult them.  As kids, we were sent to school, where teachers gave us various knowledge.  The knowledge was to be taken as true without much examination and contemplation.  When we had questions, we were told to ask someone or check the dictionary.  And we carry this attitude to our adulthood.  

Schools, seminars, books, websites . . . all these learning media are convenient and effective way to pass knowledge.  They certainly have their place in society.  However, we have been severely disempowered by overly relying on them.    

When was the last time you thought through your challenge before asking for help or checking some books / websites?  And after you gathered some knowledge, did you check if it resonates within you?

When we rely outside sources for truth, we disempower ourselves and become blind to the information we receive.  I mean, what if negative forces put in false truths in our collective consciousness?  Can we tell the fakes from truth?  Not likely when external resources are the only source of knowledge and when we are conditioned to take it as truth. 

Issue with different frames of reference

Outside resources have one more major problem: the “truth” is filtered through another person(s).  This is not a big deal in areas such as math and science, but in spirituality, it is a huge block.

Each person has a different frame of reference.  What I mean when I say “beautiful” is different from what you understand to be beautiful.  Language is a system of misunderstanding. 

The issue of different frame of reference is especially problematic in channelled information.  By channelling, I mean a medium receives energetic (non-verbal) messages and put them into words.  And each medium has a difference frame of reference.  The prophets of the Old Testament lived very differently from us and had notably different frame of reference.  Even the modern day mediums, each has a frame of reference which is somewhat different from yours. 

So every channelled message is more or less screwed.  Even when the medium all the good intentions.  

What are we to do to know the Truth?  Fortunately, there is a better way. . .

Finding Truth within ourselves

Each of us is capable of reaching to the Source of Truth.  We can find Truth by dropping judgments and unnecessary knowledge and by opening up to Truth.  

It’s still fine to do your learning through books or teachers — it can be helpful even.  But the priority is in yourself.  And for spiritual messages, you can receive them directly through your own intuition.  

This simple path of finding Truth within ourselves takes honesty and trust in ourselves.  

Truth, judgment, and honesty

When we talk about honesty, it’s usually about honesty to others.  “Don’t lie,” we’ve been repeatedly told.  Far more often than being asked how we really feel, I bet. 

Many people compromise honesty to oneself in their effort to be “kind” or “right”.  We are afraid of being rejected so we try to behave in a nice kind way that we believe to be in accord to the socio-cultural values.  Insisting to be right is based on the same fear of rejection, and it directly utilizes the judgments we are conditioned to hold on to.  

For instance, say you are married to a loving, caring, and supportive person.  You love him (or her) very much.  One evening, he wants sex — you don’t.  So your honest response is “No.”   But how many people can say the simple no?  Not “No, I have a headache tonight.”, just simple “No, I love you, but I don’t want it now.”  

So you oblige to your partner’s need.  You are being kind to your partner and being a good spouse, at the expense of being honest to your truth.  Do this enough times, you start losing your true sense of sexuality.  You may pass the judgment test of “being a good spouse”, but you forget your truth.  

Now the flip side.  You sense your spouse is not really enjoying sex.  You feel like you are pushing it to her.  So you start suppressing your sexual desires — you withhold yes to yourself.  This is another way of not being honest to your truth.  

Of course, it’s not just about sex.  How many times have you suppressed free expression of your feeling, thoughts. . . your truth?  (And yeah, expression doesn’t mean acting out, like stealing what you want from the storefront.)  

To create the New World based on Truth, we need to let go of our long-cherished judgments and our need to be “nice “ and “right”.  You are already loved, so you don’t need to conform to the social idea of what is acceptable and desirable.  You don’t even need to be right — truth can manifest in various ways. (More on this later in this article) 

What kind of judgment are you holding onto at this time?  Does holding onto it help you to be honest with yourself?  Further, does that judgment / value system help you to be in Love and see Truth?

Truth and religion

I guess I can’t ignore the topic of religion when I talk about Truth.  First let me acknowledge I respect Jesus, Buddha, Lao-Tsu, and many more spiritual teachers.  I also know many people in the organized religious institutions are genuinely good people. 

It’s when a religion starts to claim monopoly of truth, or sole access to God, when I see a problem.  As I pointed out, relying on outside sources for truth disempowers us.  And I don’t think God created us to be slaves — we are God ourselves.  So when someone claims he or his organization has better (or only) access to truth, I see the opposite being true.  

Let me explain using Christianity as example.  When you read the Gospels, it’s clear that Jesus presented himself as a child of God.  (It’s a short easy read to cover the four Gospels so I encourage you even if you are not Christian.  Don’t worry about the footnotes, just read the four Gospels like you read a novel.  It only takes a few hours.)  Nowhere he says he is the ONLY child of God.  That part was made up later by someone else.  Jesus even said others can do the same things he did, and some more.  

So when we talk about Christianity, we are actually talking about two faiths: the original teaching of Jesus and the teachings that later convoluted the original and stole its name.  I see no problem with the first — it’s a beautiful expression of many aspects of Truth.  Regarding the latter — did I say there has been false truth mixed in our collective consciousness by darkworkers?  

Truth and authority

It’s not just religion.  Until we get to the New World, we need to be watchful for authorities and be careful not to mix up authority and truth. 

We tend to think, “Dr. XX is the authority of XXXX so whatever he says must be true.”  The funny thing is many of us tend to trust him whether it’s about XXXX or not.  And in either case, the Truth is he could be wrong.  He being an authority doesn’t make what he says to be true.  

Seeing Truth takes seeing people, things, and events just as they are.  With no regard to their job title, social status, financial status, police record, credit record, past performance, etc.  These can be indications of who a person is, but ultimately has nothing to do with his truth.  

If a high level priest molesters a young boy, he is a sex predator.  His being a religious authority doesn’t change this truth.  And if you see a well-dressed man shoplifting a candy, that is so — don’t second guess your vision.  On the other hand, a felon may have a piece of Truth worth listening to.  

Truth, trust, and vulnerability

 
When we let go of the internalized value systems and judgments, more Light becomes available, and we start to see Truth.  Truth is so simple and obvious most of the time.  The challenge is not about finding Truth, it’s about trusting the Truth you find.  

Trusting your truth is indeed a big challenge when you intuitively and directly find Truth because Truth doesn’t always come with all the why’s and how’s.  Truth often presents itself just as is. 

Trusting Truth means you are willing to be vulnerable in this still judgment-filled world.  Like a very small child.  

Let’s go back to our example of the loving couple having sex problem.  Can you say “Yes” or “No” freely if you were in their place, with no excuse, no manipulative expectation to your partner’s response, no attachments to your relationship’s outcome?  Yeah, this is what I mean you need to be willing to be vulnerable if you are to embrace your Truth. 

I, nor anyone, can guarantee you’d be accepted when you tell your truth.  It’s your truth, trust it, embrace it, and jump in to the reality with it.  

It’s easy to put up armors of protection around us using the power of logics.  If you’ve been hurt or lost something / someone valuable to you (and who hasn’t?), you may feel you need to protect yourself this way rather than being vulnerable.  

And logics are like plasters — it sticks to everywhere.  You can give reasons to all your actions, emotions, and thoughts.  You can justify yourself.  And by setting up the protection around yourself, you distance yourself from Truth, and also possibly from your very loved ones. 

Truth is not always pretty.  It doesn’t always impress people with its beauty and grandiose.  Truth is . . . truth. 

False belief systems

Writing about all kinds of false belief systems is outside the scope of this article, but I want to point out some of the major false belief systems that often hinder us see Truth.

1. Belief in scarcity and limitation
I already wrote about this a few times such as this post on spiritual money, and I will write more in the next post of this Creating The New World series on Abundance.  The short of it is scarcity and limitation are illusions.   Darkworkers have made plenty of false truths and fear out of this illusion and have planted them in the collective consciousness.  Now quite many lightworkers blindly buy into them.  But Truth is not about voting.  Scarcity and limitation are nonetheless illusions.

2. Monic belief
Closely related to the scarcity and limitation belief is the monic belief, that there is only one ultimate truth and all others are false.  This belief is very destructive because it de-values everything else but the one of choice.  

For instance, many of us are taught that there is one true love that lasts for the rest of your life — and all other relationships are fakes or no good.  So until you find such one love, your love life is worthless, maybe you are worthless yourself.  OMG the truth is all love is good.

Other examples: One ultimate passion, or purpose of life.  One true name of God — this belief has killed scary many people through the history.  And how about one true psychic that is real and all others are fraud. (This one makes me laugh.  Do you seek out one true dentist and believe all others are no good?) 

3. Dualistic belief
Me saying no to you doesn’t mean one of us is right and the other is wrong.  However, dualistic belief of “right vs wrong” “good vs bad” makes it seem that way.  Truth is there can be multiple manifestations of Truth and all may be good.  

Further, what seems to be the opposite may not even that.  For instance, darkness is not the substance that is opposite to light; darkness is the lack of light.  So efforts to eliminate darkness is pointless . . . there is nothing to be eliminated.  We can only increase light and let it shine through everywhere.  

Our second childhood

All this may sound so much, so here is an antidote: It all boils down to being like a small child!  

A very small child, before they are conditioned to lie for themselves (who wants to be punished for telling the truth?), are naturally honest.  They so daringly trust themselves — it’s pretty much a given, in a sense, because all they know is their truth.  They are vulnerable. (Fortunately, most make their way through.)  They are likely to know God whether they can explain it in words or not.  Many just naturally play with spirits.  

Living our Truth, then, is becoming like a child while we are in our adult body, with grownup knowledge and experiences.  It’s more about unlearning than learning.  Our New World is a playground for us, enjoying our second childhood.  

How to bring in the New World

The action plan for bringing in the New World based on Truth is short and sweet because it’s more about letting go and returning to our childhood. 

1. Yes, whenever you notice, let go of the conventional values and judgments.  If you feel dangerously vulnerable, you are doing great!  

2. I wrote about forgiveness in Love part of this Creating The New World series, but I’ll repeat myself.  Past hang-ups can hinder you see Truth, so forgive for yourself.  

3. If you have a small child, you are in luck.  Learn from them.  Spend time playing and communicating with them.  (Communication goes beyond verbal communication.)  If you don’t have one, can you borrow one?

4. When you want to learn from external sources, go to the original source whenever possible.  For example, read the Bible, not books written by preachers.  This minimizes the negative effect of deviation, whether it was intentional or not. 

5. Pay attention to how you feel when you learn certain “truth”.  Does it resonate with you?  If not, is it possible that it is screwed somehow?  Does a truth that doesn’t resonate with you valuable to you? 

6. Develop your intuition and learn to trust your Truth.

7. Speak your Truth and live your Truth.  Dare to say simple things like: Yes, No, Sorry, I just noticed something new (some truth changes) !, I love you / this. 

Do you have other suggestions to be more in alignment with Truth?  Please let me know in the comments.  Thank you.   (Photo by carf)

Creating The New World, Part 2 Light

This is the second part of the Creating The New World series.  You have the power to change your life and the world.  The time can’t be better because Light Ascension brings tremendous opportunity to change.  So we are exploring the possibilities of how the New World can be built on the following five energy flows:

1. Love
2. Light 
3. Truth
4. Abundance
5. Power 

What is Light?

Now when you look at the above list, do you feel Light is a bit different from the other four qualities?  This is because we are talking about both spiritual light (awareness) and physical light. 

Explaining the true nature of the physical light is challenging for me because I’m not very well versed in science.  Here is the basic idea:  Visible light such as the sunlight is just a part of all spectrums of light.  There is a lot more to light, perhaps more than we know today.  There is no substance called darkness — darkness is the absence of light.  Light is both the wave and the particle (photon).  And if I understand the concept of quantum physics, everything is made of energy and particles that move around.  We are all energy, we are made of light.   

Okay, if you thought this logic is tricky, I accept it.  I can’t fully prove it.  So mark this idea as “hypothesis” or “?” and read on.  Later in this article, I will get back to another way of seeing the “reality”. 

Spiritual light is the awareness of the true nature of us and this world.  Creating the New World based on Light, then, is about creating and living it with enlightenment, rather than with confusion and fear as most of us do now. 

The true nature of ourselves 

I touched on this in my previous posts on lightworker and who we are, but it’s worth repeating here.  Because as long as we think we are separate beings made of body and mind, we will not be free from fears. 

In the beginning, there was Light.  The source of all energy.  (Some also call it God.)  As the single whole being, it was perfectly complete — there was no lack nor any kind of defect.  

This was wonderful, but also a bit boring.  The Light has intelligence and it wanted to experience its love and abundance in a tangible way.  So it split part of it to form pieces of itself.  Scientists call this big bang.  

These pieces formed the universes.  The stars.  And life forms on them. Our Higher Selves come directly from this Light Source as well.  The important thing to remember here is that each individual piece is the same quality of the original Light and, like a hologram, each piece contains all the information of the whole.

The Earth Experiment 

Some of us traveled through the stars and came to Earth, a place where these individual energies can incarnate in the physical bodies to create in terms of forms.  The original plan for Earth was to be a fun creative place!  In order to incarnate, our Higher Selves first infused part of it as souls in much the same way the Light infused our Higher Selves.  (For this reason, the Higher Self is also called oversoul.  I learned this recently from one of the comment.)  

Our souls lived in the physical bodies, and when the physical bodies decayed and died, souls moved on to the other side for a rest, and eventually lived another life.  Some of us have repeated this process of reincarnation many times.  Some of us are getting to the point of development when the Higher Self infuses a brand new soul to replace the older one, resulting in Ascension soul shift. 

What is enlightenment? 

We all came from the one Light and even today, we receive our vital life energy from this Source.  And deep inside, we know — we remember — who we really are.  We came from Light.  We are Light.  (Another way of saying this we are God.)  We are all one.  Enlightenment is fully being aware of this true nature of us.  

Now let’s see how the original intention of Light is working.  By infusing multiple pieces of itself, it has created an illusion of separation, differences, and lack.  A perfect setting to learn love and abundance!  And so we’ve been learning these wonderful qualities using the contrasts created by the illusion. I must say the plan has worked out very well.  So much to the point that we are ready for a new plan. 

Completing the “learning by contrast” process

As I wrote before, one aspect of Ascension is we complete this learning by contrast process. For eons of time, one of the major purpose of souls incarnating in this world was to learn their life lessons.  But for many of us, we have done this enough times.  We are graduating the school of life.  

It’s time we put our learning into practice.  It’s time we fully manifest the love and abundance and live them.  It’s time we live from the enlightened and empowered perspective.  It’s time we live as Light, as God.

This is not to say you need to skip the learning and pretend you are enlightened.  If you are still in the learning your life lessons phase, take your time and complete your learning.  It may appear to be a daunting big job, but once you get the hang of it, you can learn quite quickly.  

I have also found that having Ascension soul shift is not equal to remembering our true nature, or enlightenment.  The ego still gets in the way and sticks to the way we are used to think and see the world.  There is some time lag.  But if you stay open (and you will because it’s hard to close down after the Ascension soul shift), you will start to notice the change . . . 

(I also believe it is possible to ascend without soul shift.  I’m just pointing out the Ascension soul shift cases because this is how I, as Akashic Record Reader, came to notice Ascension.) 

The shift of self awareness

In my case, I first experienced it on a sunny morning at my Starbucks.  I was looking outside the large window.  There were trees in blossom, people walking by, and behind them all, the beautiful blue sky.  

So I was looking and admiring the beautiful day.  And . . . I became aware I was looking.  

Huh?  I know, this is a bit hard to put into words.  

You most likely have a sense of you, yourself.  Who you are, how you view the world, how you have lived your life.  This “you” resides in your body and your mind.  And this you experience your life as direct experience. 

I have my sense of self, too.  I experience my life in this world as me, Akemi.  When, say, someone talks to me, I perceive as this person is talking to me, and so, if she says something nice, I am elated, and if she says un-nice things, I get offended.  A beautiful day make me feel lucky.  And the people out there walking by — well, I don’t know them, so I pay little attention.  This is how I usually go through the day.  

That morning, however, I became aware there is another me, kind of like hanging right behind me in the air, looking at me and the world.  And this another me was thinking — well, not really thinking, but if I have to put it into words, sensing something like, “Ah, what a beautiful world I have created for myself.  It’s good to see from here (“here” meaning my physical perspective).”

I didn’t hear these words.  These were my “thoughts” as I saw the world and myself.  In other words, my sense of self shifted from the one I have known to that of my Higher Self, from my consciousness to superconsciousness.  (In case you are wondering — I’ve come back to my usual sense of self.  I guess it comes and goes.)  

The true nature of “reality”

Again, our Higher Selves came directly from Light, the Source, God.  We are pieces of God.  So we have the same creative power of God.  You have created your life and this world.  And so have I.

But if so, you may ask, doesn’t your world and my world conflict against one another?  Well, only if we are separate conflicting beings.  We are not. 

As I wrote in the first installment of this Creating The New World series about Love, there naturally is no polarity in the fifth dimension.  All the darkness, the lack of light, will be the thing of history in the New World.  

So those people walking by are strangers to me on the physical conventional level but are part of me and my creation at the higher level.  The shift of self awareness will let you see it.  

The true nature of reality is it’s a make belief creation on one level of dimension.  Hope this helps your uneasiness about the initial hypothesis about this world is made of Light  

Feeding on Light

When we become fully aware of our true nature, to be in full alignment with Light, we start developing lightbodies.  And I believe we can take energy from Light rather than foods as we become lightbodies. 

I know this idea of feeding on Light is wildly unpopular.  Does it bother you so much if you don’t have to eat?  Can you give up, say just 20% of your eating?  I didn’t get much response to this question in the linked article.  But just think how we can improve the lives of the world’s starving children by doing so ^_^ 

The physical aspect of Light and spiritual awareness of Light need to be integrated fully.

How to bring in the New World

Like the first installment on Love, I’d like to present some things we can do today to bring in the New World based on Light:

1. Become more aware of your “problems”.  Problems are the means you chose to learn your life lessons with.  So don’t avoid or ignore them.  Rather, pay attention to what you are learning from the difficult situations.  This accelerates your learning by contrast process. 

2. What is stopping you from embracing the status of divinity?  Check within.  I want to point out that this awareness has nothing to do with telling people you are God.  When you know you are God, your vision of the world will change.  So don’t worry about what other people may think or say (they are only pieces of your creation anyway).  Work on yourself.  

3. I’m learning this is a process that takes some time because we are still in the third dimension.  So while it is essential to examine your awareness, relax.  

4. Relax we do, and also embrace lightheartedness.  This is actually fun!  It’s a big myth that spiritual awareness can only be achieved by tons of serious disciplines.  

The New World will be filled with Light, with each individual being aware of who they are and loving one another for who they are.  It’s blessed with true sense of humor (not satire or bitter cynical laughs), and in tern, enjoying lightheartedness helps us move on to the New World.

5. Take time to relax outdoors, enjoying the sunlight and fresh air.  (I do recommend UV protection.)  Reconnecting to Earth by walking or gardening is good, too, because Earth is ascending as well. 

6. Listen to your intuition and act on it.  Your intuition is the part of you that is not tainted with conventional thinking.  It’s the shortcut to the New World. 

7. Take care of your physical body.  We are developing the lightbodies within our existing physical bodies, so it’s critical we care about good physical health.  Feed yourself with light filled foods, such as fruits and vegetables.  Also cleanse yourself with water both internally (by drinking plenty of water) and externally (by immersing yourself in water). 

8. While talking about physicality, get rid of clutter from your personal space.  It’s hard for light to enter in cluttered space.  Here is a 21 day plan to clean up and organize your space. 

9. Quit feeding energy to darkworkers.  I already wrote about this in the Love part of this series, but it does no good to you, to the darkworkers and to the world to participate in their drama.  When a darkworker can steal no energy, they are prompted to come back to Light.  

 10. Admire the beauty of life and this physical world.  Even after all these negative influences, we can still see the original beauty.  Take time to appreciate it and it will grow as you feed it.   Also admire arts that praise beauty.  

Do you have more ideas how to bring in more Light?  Please share in the comments.  Thank you.  (photo by carf)
