The Disconnect... and Yet Again...

Truth is, for me, my insight and perspective... the further that we move into COVID, the further that I see and feel that we move away from one another.

The Disconnect.

Truth is, for me, my insight and perspective... I believe that as
we move futher into this pandemic, that we, as a human race, are moving further and further away from what it was meant to teach us.

Compassion and Unity.

We, that being near and far, I feel, have become such a disconnected society. It saddens me such on a level that so many cannot understand, and yet I know that so many do. Those are my people. I see good people every day, who have become helpless, or homeless; and yet, it seems few care. There are few places to turn and judgment in return for their struggles. I do what I can, when I can, and with whom I can, as so many who remain connected and diligent do, and yet, the problems are surmounting higher and higher. There seems no relief from the disconnect. It becomes greater and greater as we become further and futher apart... disconnected.

Robots pinning one against the other, this side against that, often over baseless 'reality' and misguided information, money, fame, sex, drugs, and rock n' roll... Just kidding. But serious. Mine, Yours, and no longer an Ours. The existence of Unity draws us further and further apart; so far apart that we often don't even see the person in front of us.

Truth is, for me, my insight and perspective... we are all connected; we are all unified... by one God, or greater power, however you see it, feel it, or have it. We are each and every one of us, connected. Each of us sees within ourselves what we express to one another.

There is a deeper meaning that we, as a society, just don't want to face. How can that man (or woman) who is begging for money on the street, or rummaging through trash along their way, just to survive, having anything to do with ME? you might ask. And the opposite is true. He/She who is living grand and exciting lifestyle, how can they relate to ME? I suppose that is merely my level of thinking, or awareness. Yes, a polyanna viewpoint. I get it. And yet I feel it. So deeply. A feeling that is so deep that truly connects me to each and every person that I come into contact with. I feel it on a level that draws me in and makes to take a longer look at my own being. One that allows me to understand myself better; my pain, my trauma, my own disconnect that moves me forward with a greater connection of love, first, for myself, and offer unto another.

We can only love another with as much love as we have within ourselves.

It may seem like my battle alone, but as I see it, it's all of ours. It affects each of us differently, as we all respond and react in a manner that reflects our own journey. Connected through that same secure state or fear state of love within ourselves, aligned with that same higher power or oneness that moves through all of us; that connects us and unifies us.

And yet again, I go toe to toe, heel to heel, heart to heart, soul to soul... with a world that often does not understand my ponderings, my fascination with my own seekings, and I ask, "What am I yet again, to learn, to understand, to align with?

This takes me back to my psychology professor who I so often challenged the theory that "nobody can make you feel any such way, only you are accountable to your feelings and observations." I once stated that I understood the theory, yet now I once again, challenge it, for I see it through new lenses. As I pay closer attention to my surroundings, I can feel a greater connectedness, a greater appreciation for each experience and interaction. I can fully appreciate, with a renewed compassion and empathy for the journey of another, our alignment, and our connection to harmony. Balance.

With this new awareness, I strive to live in this present moment and I offer this gift to those I connect with, allowing for a non judgmental interaction, reaction, and response. And as I do so, I release my worries and pain into the past, as I do theirs. I move forward with the connectedness choosing to focus on the most important matters... that being human interaction and love. I release the worries and allow my life to be whole again.

As I move forward, I pledge to refrain from overthinking, seeing that this only takes away the power of my wholeness, leaving room for fear and distrust. I move back into a state of self love and intuition, trusting in the wholeness of my feelings in that state of love; knowing that the times that I feel myself moving into a state of fear or lack of, I can close my eyes, breathe in deeply and replace these feelings with kinder, gentler thoughts that I choose to define who I am. I then nurture these feelings with self care and a gentle love. All knowing that there is only love, and this love begins within.

Beginning today, this moment... I reward myself with the gift that it is a great day to stop doing the things that keep me from feeling my very best and believing that I am unworthy, leaving only goodness and love to enter into my existence of a greater connectedness. I move away from the disconnect, because that is what I choose.

How does this relate? Well, that's for each and every one of us to attune and connect. God Bless. There but for the Grace of God Go I. And Yet Again...

Reflective Receptive

 

Yet Again, it has been such a long time. I have been journeying and it has been entertaining... rarely a dull moment, but that is because I realized, or finally accept that I AM worthy of the journey, the motions, the lessons, the victories, pleasures and greatest of all, the laughter, love, smiles, and hugs. 

With each step that I take, with each breath that I take, I stop to take the time to Reflect.  I am open to Possibility. I am open to Surrender. I am open to BE. A major step in this is to Create the Space and sit with it... mentally, emotionally being in that space. Crystal Clear, Response, Reflective, Space... used in the creation of the gifts that I am now able to be more RECEPTIVE of...  whatever the Universe offers. (Which, in turn, reflect my thoughts and words, and carried out into the Universe as Intentions Set).

But here lies the catch; the one that it has taken me so very long to get to. In order to be open AND to be receptive, one has to love oneself; without condition... well, perhaps three conditions. 

Honesty. Trust. Faith. <3 <3 <3 

"I am Receptive. I am open to new ideas. I am willing to try different methods, and I consider alternate viewpoints. I WELCOME, am open to, and RECEPTIVE of, intellectual stimulation. I am RECEPTIVE. 

Beautiful. 

In order to achieve new results, different results, one cannot merely do the same repetitive, robotic thing;  but rather, one must teach oneself to take the time to reflect, and to do so from a place of trust. Now, I have talked over and over again about trust , and of honesty for that matter, and have now learned solidified the wisdom: 

Life = Experiences + Knowledge + Doing + Being = Growth of the Soul

Lessons are most difficult because we so often fight against them, or fight for them. This past weekend, instead, I learned to lean into the lesson, hold the pain, or discomfort; place a hand over the area in which I feel the anxiety and sit with it; get up close and personal to feel and nurture it. Learn from it.

If I back up a moment, it has to be said that allowing myself to BE, and in a quiet space, was not a 'thing' that I learned growing up. Being busy was; the busier the better. I now understand that by being busy, it stopped the process of reflection on whatever had transpired. 

The 2nd card that I pulled this morning drilled this Intention to the Ready... SET... mode... which, upon reflection, I will be able to GO. Stronger, wiser, more ready, open, and receptive, and reflective. 

Part of this goes back to not feeling as though I belonged or was wanted; or that I mattered.  I so often huddled, or withdrew.  When we are continually told that we aren't big or small enough, too old and not good enough, smart enough, or not wanted at all for that matter, and unworthy... some messages spoken, others through behaviour, unless someone tells us or shows up differently, we believe it. Believe... to Be-Lived. We show up the same way, until we learn that it is up to OURSELVES to re-write the messages. If we waited for 'them' we could possibly wait forever. We have to make the choice to show up for OUR SELF because we MATTER. I matter.  

This is because it truly is not their responsibility... even when we think that it is. Be-live that it is. When we learn better, we know better, and we do better. A book that I read long ago, says to me that I began this journey long, long ago. "What you think about me is none of my business." So many instances, my prof from school and I would so often discuss. Me rarely budging... Until I learned. As I learned, I also learned to respond and think on an  individual basis. Me. With that, I affirm....   

"This is a good time to STOP and celebrate my evolution as a person. 

It's the perfect time to appreciate my achievements."

It's easy to overlook that at one point in my life, I thought that I knew what  I wanted,

where I was going, and who I would be going with... 

               until I realized that my thoughts were being hi-jacked. 

Knowledge is everything. 

If and when we set our Intention to learn and to self-actualize, then that becomes the goal, the Receptivity. I have reached a place where I can look back and appreciate my journey. I can be grateful for my experiences; good, bad, beautiful, and super ugly; all challenges, all opportunities, all energy, set into motion, must be learrned to be receptive of my new reflection.  I can be and AM excited about my future. 

No regrets. No guilt, shame, or blame. Accountibility. To change and to response, but not to "self-doubt." A-ha... now enters a new awareness. The word Self-Doubt. I would say that it is interpreted to mean that one doubts one's own self. Of course that makes sense; but that lends a rather blame or shame tone to the message or intention.  

Truth be told is that our doubts are intruders, they are words, phrases, responses, messages, direct, and/or indirect; physical, mental, spiritual, or emotional. They are not ours to own. 

YET, we do. We allow ourselves to keep going along the same pathway, until one day, we wake up, hold space, and reflect, 'Hey, wait a moment, I am not certain that this is true. I have to weigh out how that sits within me.'  I, yes, me, with a BiG HUgE I, I am the ones that gets to decide; to choose. 

I get to reflect and either makes changes, take chances, set intentions, reflect on choice... every single moment of MY journey, I hold my own space. I am receptive to recognition of myself as an intelligent, gifted, amazing woman. 

There. I said it. 

and even with a smile. Then I wonder if I would be able to do so as I peered into a mirror. Mirror work goes through stages, such as life. The thing about life is that we forget that there is a measuring stick; guidelines, self-monitoring... and this is great. The self-doubt. that is not. It's not yours anyhow. It's those who first sent the messages, as an infant, or the fear, stress, or worry that have continuously accepted as our own 'self' issues, but have now come to realize the exact opposite! Those are not mine. So many of the phrases and messages that my psychology instructors tried so dilligently to afford me with an renewed understanding... I now get. I am certain that my one instructor, up there in the spirit world, is beaming down upon me. He is saying, finally, dear child. Finally. 

and Fruitfully. Why fruitfully? Because it's these messages that we need to re-direct in our brain. That's neuroplasticity. Or perhaps it just takes that long. Not to gain the knowledge. To gain experience. To then be faced with our soul's growth in Wisdom... which for me, is pretty much always the goal. Go high or go home. That comes from living in a professional family. 

Which led me to a question that I now would like to make space for. Can our infant sized brains know or be aware of, the diffence between good stress and negative stress?  I am wondering if stress can then be good at all? Can our brains interpret stress in a positive manner? Just more for me to ponder outside of the ego mind. 

Hostage.

Why not we be held accountable as our own responsibility? 

Good Grief, I do believe that I have opened the door to pandora's box.  So like me. 

I woke up this morning reminded of a phrase that my mother used to say to me. "You are just too smart for your own good!"  Followed up by my own internatized message, 'Being too smart is definetly not a goal to want to attain if it's against me.' We don't even realize that thoughts are left hanging for us to continuously interpret and figure out on our own. Worse than that is that we are then sent out into the world unprepared for future experiences. 

Pandora's box is an artifact in Greek mythology connected with the myth of Pandora in Hesiod's Works and Days. He reported that curiosity led her to open a container left in care of her husband, thus releasing physical and emotional curses upon mankind. Later depictions of the story have been varied, while some literary and artistic treatments have focused more on the contents than on Pandora herself. The container mentioned in the original account was actually a large storage jar, but the word was later mistranslated. In modern times an idiom has grown from the story meaning "Any source of great and unexpected troubles." 

All to contemplate today. Just the beginning of new, more emplowered, relateably empowered thoughts, which have the power to actualize and manifest. Have an amazing day. Love who you are and Be who you love. Lori-lynn

Time to Release and Allow for Divine Wisdom to Draw itself out and Be Nurtured

I have had much on my mind these past couple of days. Few people know how ill I had been, which makes sense, because nor did I. Struggles and challenges have afforded me an opportunity to BE once again. I missed me, who I was. 

Who I am becoming once again... but better, stronger, definitely wiser and more aware. Having said that, the journey to here was, perhaps, has been one of the most difficult challenges of my life. Thank you Spirit, The Divine Highest Being from which we are all connected with. I am that I am. Aligned with God. 

I used to be afraid to use the word 'God,' as my experience with it often made people uncomfortable. Yet, when I look around and see the many places of worship, it perplexes me. I then acknowledge that THAT is their journey. I am on a pathway all my own. 

That is not to say that I am not a catalyst, but rather a remembrance that we are all uniquely connected, intertwined in our own personal missions; the Journey of the Soul. 

And with that, I step back and take a brief glance in the rear view mirror. What or where is the
opportunity? Simply put, to Be the best version of myself, releasing the mirage of time, asking, and allowing Spirit and the Universe to show me my next steps forward. It is time to reverse my way of thinking; to untangle the knot that often sits in my Solar Plexus.  Cleanse. Clear. Envision. & Trust. 

You see... in order to have want I truly want, I must be my Authentic Self; I must first be who I truly am within. Then. Then I must take the necessary steps, as guided to do. A new way of thinking? Not really; a refresher course would create the space that was necessary for my souls growth.  I'd say in this moment that my nighttime meditation regime seems to have had an affect on my current reality. I know what I want and I am headed in that direction. The message is to allow; stop pushing, pulling, fighting and being drawn into drama, which only takes away from, rather than adding to. 

Not my circus. 

Perhaps, and I do know deeply within, that this is the breakthrough that I have longed for. To remember and acknowledge. This awareness leads me back to releasing the confines of what we call 'time,' that limits our journey, so often weighing us down even further. 

I have learned that holding on to the madness, the chaos, and the 'ill' messages towards not only myself, but others too, can drive one into a deep state of depression, anxiety, which most often presents itself as a physical illness. 

Surrender to the experience. Surrender to the lesson. Surrender to the will of God, ALIGNED with the will of Lori-Lynn. The opportunities that had been placed before me were to show, push, and nurture my being into, well, BEING. Authentically me. I was being nudged to work through the anger, the tears, the loneliness, the madness, to take me back to a clear, connected place of the love within. Forgiveness. Time to forgive. It is time. Time to allow. 

And so I draw a card and the message reads, "My ability to receive is measured by how much I practice Good Feeling Thoughts." This is my affirmation that I will carry within my heart today. Gratitude and Good, Good, Good Vibrations. 

Have an amazing day. Love who you are. Nurture your gifts, talents, insight, love of self, and your connection to Spirit. Much love and Blessings.

Always Something to Discover About Yourself. & Learn

As far as sleep goes, mine was continually disrupted with thoughts of not really knowing what to do I do know, is that during times of intimate contemplation, I turn to my intuition and love for the Divine, always knowing, but yet needing a reminder, that when there is a dispute, the first place to look is in the mirror. 

Self Reflection. It's not about Blame, Shame, nor Guilt. It is about the messages that I allow to back me into a corner believing that there is no way out or around the circumstances or experience.  Know this. There is. 

I awoke in the middle of the night and reread my previous messages, which brought forth a new understanding. IS this about me? and if so, how and why?  Truth be told, the message is not that I am doing something wrong, with the exception being that I am allowing another's choice of behavior to invade my space, directly impacting my sense of who I truly am. 

With that, I go inward; deeply within to where the conflict sits. Absolutely, bang on, in my Solar Plexus; that being my intuitive 'feeling-ness.'  I know that I am better than that. I also know that there is a reason for coming face to face and head on with another that displays narcissistic qualities.  

Control.    

We can only change our awareness. With that, Spirit reminds me to find the Balance that is necessary to Release the Stress that the current situation is being allowed to control rather than motivate. To understand the blockage that I have created within my own being. Truth be told, again, that it is my own sense of self, my own very precious energy is being wasted, worrying. Worrying about what had transpired in my past circumstances. And yet, I teach about letting go, releasing the past. What is done, is done. We can only put our very best foot forward by beginning each and every day anew. 

This does seem as though it is a huge weight that I am carrying around. It is my responsibility to self-reflect and motivate, according to my beliefs and values. Worrying prevents me from fully accepting and believing in me. It stalks me in the night and walks with me throughout the day, when what I should be focused on is what I CAN envision and create with this moment. 

Where from here?  Always something to discover about my own inner strength, courage, and values. Perhaps this has shed light upon how much I am, at this time, valuing myself.  What are the necessary steps. Discipline. And with that I take a few relaxing, deep breaths and remind myself of that commitment that I made so long ago. Time to focus on my set intentions, my life goals and to stick with my personal, sanctity within.  

Short and Sweet with one final message to carry with my throughout my day. "Celebrate my life! No matter WHERE it takes me". Allow that amazing energy to permeate my cells, tissues, and fibres; to acknowledge the struggle; to reflect, bless, and heal, to a space where I truly understand that I am in this experience to learn a gift of the highest level. 

EVERYTHING is temporary. Breathe that in again and again, while repeating,

I am sorry.

Please Forgive Me. 

Thank you. 

I love you. 

This completes the mind, body, Divine Spirit, soul connection. I am worthy. I am kindness. I am compassion. I am joy, comfort, and inspiration. AS ME. Not as another wants me to be. 

AS ME. Much love to all. May you celebrate your own accomplishments and blessings. May peace be with you. 

What's Good. What to do

To make the most of what I am most needed to learn this week, I am going to have to get right down into it, fully aligned and connected.... so that Peace, Harmony, and Balance may once again be found and restored.  And so what messages are relayed to assure that there remains a healthy flow within. 

The Balancing Act: Up front and at the Core of all things harmonious. There are times in our life that what we most hope to achieve is a constant, fluid state within, unwavered by another, circumstances, experiences, feels, or emotions... to feel the neutral alliance solidified in love, respect, hope, forgiveness, and grace.  This message is asking for me to maintain a conscious, mindful, attentive, and chosen response from this space of balance. 

Sometimes life calmly offers, and at other times it feels as though balls are being tossed, if not hurled, from every which way, and the overwhelming feeling creeps upwards. And then there you are; juggling a thousand balls in the air without being able to breathe. Perhaps even, due to the timing, you are thrown off your footing. Step back to find your breath; to take a moment to evaluate what your core values are. "I am choosing this... because it gives me... or helps makes me to feel... " Today, carry consciousness in your pocket as a goal stick to glimpse into areas of your life that are in need of a Balance Cleanse, which when maintained, and honest... can and will restore the equilibrium.

The choice being offered is clear as a whistle, 'Choose harmony over discord and great success will be
yours.'  It is a choice. Everything is. Hold on, but not tightly, but rather with faith and you will maintain a constant control. Take your power back by Trusting and having Faith. An inner stability is what is most important as you move froward from one lesson to the next. SPirit wants you to know that 'you are almost there! You have almost made it.' 

Inner stability can be achieve through choice... choose to focus on what is important and follow the level pathway, with grace.  Picture the options in each hand, or foot, on your head... can it all be balanced? How? Why? What will cause it to tip?  Ask, 'What do I choose and can I control what I am wanting to?' 'Will this choice lead me towards or from my vision, my hopes, and dreams?' 'How will this decision allow me to bring these goals into fruition?'

Vision shows us the way... pay attention. Create a space within the focal point of your third eye, so that during times that you may feel as though you have knocked you off course, or left unbalanced; you are now able to withdraw internally to your truth; a place of calm and peacefulness. The Master Visionary has faith in his clear and far-reaching sight, seeking the most profound values of life and the deepest awareness of Spiritual Truth. 

Hope rides alongside, if allowed, lighting your way through the dark moments of the unknown, all the while offering strength and support in times of our greatest need. Ask. Hope Arises and overflows from the wisdom of understanding and acceptance. If you may feel trapped in this moment, look up. Look ahead and you will see victory. There is only triumph and victory to carry you forward. Embrace the essence of Victory and it shall be yours. 

Destiny, Dreams, and Sun Dancers

Man the first thing that hit me upon awaking was that I was HUNGRY! Holy Hannah! And then I looked up into the sky and saw the Sun Dogs. I am not certain if everyone is so blessed as to witness Sun Dogs and the Northern Lights... but they are mesmerizing and take your breath away.... the coldness just feels gentle and warm against the face.  

And so I meditate to bring me back to the moment within. There seems to be an aspect of Surrendering that must take place today.  

'We watched as the waters rise. We drifted wayward only to survive. I needed you to say. I wanted you to stay. But you. You chose to drift away. To this I must surrender. To find my authentic purpose. Perhaps for you to discover yours. Inspiration was what followed. Destiny. until we meet again.'

It has been awhile since I actually attempted a poem... not that this was much of one, but it is from the heart. The Mapmaker of Destiny, Trust. More so, Surrender to the Divine Will and Trust. A reminder that you are the Mapmaker. This messages shows itself as confirmation that there is an opportunity ahead, awaiting, to transform Fate into Destiny.  

It would seem as though I have entered into one of these pivotal moments. A relationship or circumstance that has been brought to me through fate; the will of my Highest, Greatest Good. The truth and the lesson. How I respond will lead me to where I have thought, asked, and intended. But first, to make note that this intended and fated meeting challenges and allows me to face some limiting thoughts, beliefs, and awareness, in order to reflect and change... the Heart does not lie once healed. Heal and Surrender to the love for it is real.  

So my Challenge for today is to see past the illusions, onward to the collective good. For me, for some time, I have literally blocked my dreams out of fear, frustration, and lack of love for myself. Seems silly. But it is my truth. So the Dream Walker appears after the recognition of the Mapmaker of Destiny, to remind me that this truly has been Divinely orchestrated, and I, I have pushed against it for far too long. Take hold. of my heart. Open it fully to experience all that it is meant to experience... even through the pain and sorrow, the chaos, the doubt, the illusions... but also to remember the good times, the beauty, the inspiration and always, the grace. I am pretty certain that Grace was meant to be my middle name... to serve as a reminder. 

Grace as a remembrance that dreams really can and do come true. To ask and to believe with any unwavering courage and satisfaction that 'and so it will be.' They know. Fear is what holds them back. So I ask to unlock that brick wall built so solidly along the walls of the heart. Again, I picture the imagine of the Clay Buddha, that once the rain began to fall, chipped away at the external, only to discover a beautiful Golden Buddha within. 

Spirit has a dream for each of us. So often this dream is locked tightly away. It is time to embody the Golden Buddha and shine your light upon the world. Just ask, surrender, and watch the essence of true love unfold like magic. 

There is another challenge that comes with this message. Destiny. There is our Destiny and there is the Destiny of the World that is aligned with God.  During some situations, it's to ask, 'Is this dream for me one that also that serves a greater dream?' When asking with an open heart, ask and surrender to the fullness of the response, with a great knowing. We are all here to serve one another. The illusion of separation.  

The final message is to Dance... to Celebrate... to Sing... to Move... in harmony with the love within. The message, "Somebody does loves you,' came through loud and clear. Not sure where that came from or the intention... but whoever needs to hear this... please allow it to resonate deep down into the bones. Then take action toward it, fearlessly. 

Take time, today to Celebrate Life!  Even if it seems so foreign and strange at this time... You are Blessed. You are Loved.

"The Sun Dancers celebrate you now and remind you of the laws of success and praise. Anything you place your attention on will manifest and experience; the laws of the Universe are always perfect. Expect the best and praise it in advance. This unleashes the magic of the mystical magnetic energy; drawing circumstances to you... to create the reality you envision.

Give thanks in advance for the grace and goodwill of the Divine. Be willing to dance the victory dance as if your greatest dreams are realized, and watch how easily things begin to fall into place. Stay positive and leave the timing up to the Divine. All things are possible now. Dance the joy of being, and celebrate your life and abundance today!” (Colette Baron Reid, the Sun Dancers)

Find your creativity today, within and all around you, BE YOU, and know that Self-Belief is the magical key, when locked hand in hand with the Divine. This opens us up a better, more inspired life. Let go of worries, embrace the Love of the Divine, and feel the blessings all around.

The Spirit of Truth

Truth. Answer: there is ALWAYS a reason. 

I am having a difficult time as I attempt to hold space. I seem to be in more of a silent state than one of contemplation; that's not to say that I am not contemplating, I am just not allowing the fullness of the process, so it's become both quiet and complicated at the same moment. 

You see... I am working towards better understanding a person in my life. It is most challenging to
remain aligned enough to see the wholeness of the experience. I very much believe that she is in my life, at this time, for a reason. there is ALWAYS a reason. I also know that this reason is about me, rather than her. 

It is most interesting, as I know with every ounce of my being that there is an important lesson here and once I truly settle this within my bones, favourably, life will begin a new flow. 

As I hold space for the situation, I reflect back and see that this has been a constant theme for me. Then I am reminded of the phrase, "What you think of me is none of my business," followed by, "We mirror in others the depth of our most true and difficult lessons."  I also know that when we resist, then we are resisting and pushing against the will of our Soul and the magic of the Universe, which serves, continually, to expand our consciousness. Truth. 

Which led me back to the Ho'opanono 

"I am sorry.    Please forgive me.    Thank you.    I Love You.  I release all feelings, emotions, and memories that keep me bonded to this connection. I ask that the truth be revealed, for the highest and greatest good of all involved." 

There is always truth and this truth is based on perspective. Today, I am being asked to shatter this perspective and to check my own Reflection, with the awareness that we attract what we reflect. Understanding that I am responsible for my own contentment and truth. It's to look within myself and get real. What am I allowing? and why? What is the core of the lesson that i am required to acknowledge and learn. 

Very interesting is that in contemplation, the message that 'we live in an ego driven society' becomes very clear.  

The thing about truth, aside from perspective, is that it is so often based on feelings and emotions.  

There is so much damage that challenges the flow when we, first, deceive ourselves, and second, deceive others. Most often it is done unconsciously, other times, it is very conscious. Deception amplifies confusion, multiplies stress and blocks blessings and manifestations. Be honest. Be truthful. Uncomplicated your life or circumstances by telling the truth. 

Truth is the foundation upon which all things are built. All things strong, confident, and supportive. I am on a journey today of understanding to accept the reality of the experience, just as they are. It is my opportunity to walk past the veils of deception and walk the straight path of truth. 

Truth, that being, at times, harsh, it may seem, but in allowing your steps to gain momentum through purpose, rather than ego, determination is cast to penetrate to the heart of the matter. "What is really going on here?" It rarely is as it seems.  The Spirit of Truth is one of Integrity and Values. As I walk my pathway, this is my benchmark to abandon shame, blame, guilt, and feelings of self-doubt to provide the necessary clarity within the delusions and illusions, to bring me to an understanding of what lay at the core.   

AHOY! Open the Floodgates ~ new beginnings, begin with this MoMent

 AHOY! Open the Floodgates ~ new beginnings, begin with this moment. 

There is not said enough about Love. Then again, there may not be enough known about Love. What is the Greatest Love. First and Foremost, the greatest love is our personal connection, relationship, and (calm, relaxing breath) alignment with God, the Divine Spirit, the Creator; knowing with a complete commitment, that this connection is bonded in unconditional love, a quiet, gentle strength, and the wisdom that all is possible within this bond.  

I picked up a message along the way yesterday. A deep understanding and perspective of  "Let Go and Let God."  With the change of one word, it offered up the greatest, most powerful remembrance within the connection, 'Let Go and Allow God' and the Universe will indeed bring all to fruition; Anything and Everything that serves your highest guidance and perspective. for the sole purpose of your Soul's Journey. 

The 2nd most powerful connection known to mankind is that of Self. I almost believe that we are born to seek, learn, and discover who we are meant to be and own our place and purpose in the world; that this is the journey.  NOT trusting or loving oneself is NOT TRUSTING the process of God and the Universe <3 This is the purity and strength of pure Faith. 

Why have I included 'the Universe?' you might ask. I am just here to deliver the messages that are shown to me. The Universe is the whole or manifestation of God's Energy; the attractor that commits to flowing and matching the vibration within ourselves to draw in, to manifest; to bring to fruition. For me... all to reach my goal of living my life with purpose, meaning, faith, trust, and love. Open the Floodgates cause I am READY.

So that is a whole lot of loving me, I'd have to say. To throw ones arms around oneself in whole and in complete Gratitude. Just because today brings with it a new opportunity to BE all that I can possibly be. 

Today. I begin by committing to Self Love. Unconditionally; with faith, love, and always a StarSeed of Hope in my heart. With every breath that I take, each movement, action, and step that I take, I recognize now as a blessing from my connection to the Divine. Mind. Body. Soul. 

What is good for the Soul's Journey? Such a personal question. It looks different on each of us. 

So I allow myself the time and motivation to breathe in and embrace the awareness, the emotion, and the feelings... of all that is... and all that can be mine. I allow myself the time to EMPOWER my mind, body, soul with daily attention. I allow myself space to shower myself with Love. Because THAT is handing the reigns over and having complete trust in the Process. 

Only in this bonded connection can we allow ourselves to receive all that we are worthy and deserving of.  This is the key that opens the floodgates to receive. The Balance of this is to GIVE openly and freely... with the wisdom of the laws of the Universe. By consistently being kind, generous, and loving, without condition, is to allow the flow. Prepare and watch as the floodgates of prosperity and abundance flow through and around. 

With this, I ask, seek, and receive 5 messages:

1. God is not in a vacuum, dear one. Your Spiritual family is also not ignorant about your life or of the challenges that you face. Therefore, when you pray, say, "God, tell me what it is that I should know." Then celebrate victory! ... always back to the place of peace within. 

2. Believing in Spiritual Guidance gives me certainty and the freedom to keep dreaming, even when I cannot yet see the result.  Let Go and Allow God and the Universe to bring all to fruition. Trust that you are worthy. Trust that you are loved. Faith. 

3. Each time you see or hear the word GOD, or the Divine Spirit, or the Creator, think of the person next to you, the family at work or at play, and the true essence of who you are at the CORE. (we are ALL a part of the Divine). Do not think of a singular power higher than yours somewhere in the sky. It IS within you: always and ever. 

4. True Manifestations are Powered by SERVICE, Gratitude and LOVE. 

and finally,

5. "Lightworker, sit for a moment in your time and visualize the family in the continent you call Africa. Do not see their misery. Rather, see them as the beautiful ball of light that is their truth, their Journey, shining with Victory. See them on a Divine level, as eternal. and at a Human Level, see them as healed!" 

All 5 of these, I commit to this evening, and before bed, to embrace the concepts and perhaps a new perspective of love... which begins with the Love the God and the Love of Self. 

Love Starts Here.

The Essential Self ~ Uniquely ME ~ Reverence

The Essential Self; perhaps to grieve the loss of our former self, is to allow us to open up fully and completely to the essence of who we truly are. 

Sometimes I wonder, why am I different? But the truth is that we were are made uniquely, with qualities and traits, lessons, challenges, and opportunities to carry us through this lifetime with the intention of creating a better place for all to BE. Really, truly, BE. 

How is it possible that after so many thousands of years, that we have not seen this, or few have been able to embody the wisdom of the Universe, that shows itself through the light from the hands of the Divine Spirit, God, to penetrate within each of us with such compelling power to inspire, and to offer to us... it ALL. The purpose in envisioning our raw and true self, is to create an awareness of our unique abilities with the #SetIntention of accepting our unique potential that lies within every one of us. Hand in hand, moment by moment, we begin to embark on a wild adventure to understand, accept, and most of all... LOVE the differences that makes us all ONE community. 

The Challenge? Well, naturally Spirit. There are times when my guide causes me to shake my head... but here goes. "In order to have what you want, you must FIRST be who you really are."

 

To do what??? Do what you need to do, to clear, to release, to get raw and as naked as a jaybird, to find your own wings; to fly uninhibited and alive. Change happens when we allow for change to permeate within. First we need to make room, clean out the closests, scrape the cells, tissues, and fibres, of the self defeating thoughts and limitations. This will offer to us clarity and as clarity arises within, we can then allow ourselves to examine our beliefs, followed by a release, and reversal back to our true BEING. Always who we are meant to be. Who God, the Divine Spirit, the Universe, intended for us to be. 

Live your passion. 

The Guidance? To contemplate the True Source of Power in the World. This alone, brings to me peace. So many have forgotten. We have taken it from schools and we have allowed manipulation to overcome our sense of peace and self. We have striven to find the balance, when clearly we are looking in the wrong direction, and often moved to where not balance exists. To rea.ize that it always exists within. Within and aligned. 

The Well is calling, the true source of power, to remind me that the greatest powers in the world, are unseen powers. Connect with this power. Faith. Take a moment to reflect upon your vision and Align Fully with this Power. #IntentionSet 

The Intention Set is a manner in which, I feel, that we need to pay more attention to. Something else that many have become not so aligned with, are our values and intentions, which are much more than just words. They are a commitment. Once we set our intention and commit to the essence within, state these final words, 

"Thy will be done through me for the highest good OF ALL and for the True Manifestation of My Purpose, which works hand in hand with the Divine Purpose of the Universe."

Deep, yes, but real. Let Go and Allow Love. If it is true to your Soul's Journey, you will know by the still, small voice within. 

Wow, this so seems as though a big day is ahead and in store; not a busy one, but a contemplative one. Yesterday I awoke with a crazy awareness that finally made sense to me. It's about my anxiety. I realized that the reason that I am struggling in the manner in which I am, is about not trusting my intuition. Yet, as the High Lady of Love and Compassion, which came a-calling, is all about Intuition and Inspiration. A reminder that I can trust my intuition. What I know at my core.

It will. take me some time. to fully return to this place. But. yes, but. previously above, that is the motivation for the day. To unblock and allow the truth of my intuition to glow from within. 

Which brings me to Reverence, a feeling or acceptance of deep respect tinged with awe. I am going to hold deep in my heart Love and Compassion... because I can. 

The High Lady of Love and Compassion. Do not fear your passion, nor your compassion. Be Unique True to YOU. 

The message, from Colette Baron-Reid's deck brings a rather deep and meaningful reminder that Only love exists. Everything else is a state of that love... from a fear state to a self-love, secure state of the love within MYSELF. :she reminds me that only Love is real.  Love is the sole unconditional and true power behind all means of manifesting out of the unseen into the material.

Love’s greatest creative power is ignited by the Conscious Call to Action of Generosity. Generosity of the heart, joy, reverence, respect, and empathy for all living things brings you profound power to live a life of happiness and contentment. Allowing love, compassion, and kindness to all must be the impulse behind your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Without condition or expectation.  Give selflessly without asking for or expecting anything in return, and let go. What is yours will come to you. Kindness always returns somehow. You will surely receive that which you give in more ways than you can imagine.

You are loved. I am loved.  That is the essence and fulfillment of the reminder.  And with that and through that, all manner of synchronicities will align in your favour.

Have an amazing day. Be happy, healthy, make great choices, and be kind. Kindness matters. Lori-Lynn

What Do i DO when i don't Fit In?

Asking for a friend. 

I was talking with an acquaintance while on a walk. Perhaps as the thought process is that of reconnecting to understand the terms SoulMate and TwinFlame. To understand is to know. To live it, to feel it, breathe it, and realize both the commitment and the opportunity; especially when it may feel as though there is none. 

When I look back upon life, what strikes me most in this moment is that we all 'train for work,' we don't train for fun, or friends, or life purpose, but rather work. Sorry, but this is hitting me like a bomb... a crazy realization, that perhaps. Perhaps this thinking has been brought on by the pandemic, but I am not entirely certain. I do know, or rather feel, that I have been sent into a rather 'freeze' frame. 

We LIVE for WORK. Working to live means obtaining resources so that you can be a functional member of society, and to permit yourself a good lifestyle. Fair enough. Honestly, according to the other hand, “live to work” might be understood in a different way. One is that your life is based around your work, or, we can choose to set a way of life, an occupation, career, or passion that supports that life.

Do what you love and love what you do.

The contemplation of SoulMate and TwinFlame has perhaps become real or reflective, as both of these
connections are extremely important for our soul's growth and for our wounds, many long-standing, to heal. This, is the strength and commitment of the connection; an opportunity to grow not only in Knowledge, but more so, in Wisdom Divine. 

We are all in this together. Lessons of loneliness or A-Lone-ness. 

I suppose that as I am pondering this whole schmozzle that has mind held hostage, I am becoming more and more puzzled. I know that I have never felt, or have been led to believe that we were put on this earth to simply work for a living. Yet, that only makes sense with the ways of our society.  We DO work to support our living; to sustain our way of life. 'Work' implies doing a project for the purpose of receive of something else, which in most cases presents as money. I do, from the bottom of my toes to the tip of my nose, believe that we all have a purpose, a Divinely Inspired one, something that were are meant to do. Passion. And, for me, it's about love, living, family, friends, community, togetherness. 

Perhaps this is where I am lost at sea. (ha... or cannot see). 

Perhaps, again, that I am standing or have strategically placed blocks, or put on a mask, a suit and a tie, and gone about life just... being without any sort of remembrance or plan. Being what I had thought, or been taught, but not what I imagined or thought. whatever that might mean in this moment... thoughts are fast and incomprehensible. 

Imagine. This is perhaps a wake up call to my imagination, which has been one of my strongest assets for as long my memory allows. My imagination... thoughts of support and a call to action. Get out of the WAY man! Look around... everywhere, you can see it clearly. We are all as talented, strong, and successful as we BELIEVE that we are. Step aside and ALLOW! Put a HALT to the Self-Doubt. Self-Discipline your mind to embrace your own Self-Belief!  

Okay then. First Step.... "Examine your Opinions." That seems too easy and to make sense. But what is the truth. Truth is, or rather, my perception is that any belief that does not work to promote abundance in all forms, rejects it. This is where we learn cognitive dissonance... the line forms to the left... all to balance conflicting attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours. To Balance the UnBalanceable. (new word alert!)

This will take me into the weekend, that I am certain; to discover the aspects of this internal investigation into what may be holding me back from acquiring all that I am worthy of.  Just because. Just because I am a child of God, the most Divine Energy of Pure Unconditional Love. So this is 2-sided; self-limiting beliefs about money and self-limiting beliefs, of well, my own self.

A reminder comes to me to focus on happiness, all of what makes me truly happy. Write down THAT list. To be aware that the energy that is wasted on worry is PRECIOUS ENERGY WASTED, period. Worrying about has transpired or created your beliefs is futile; it only prevents, blocks, locks, and holds on to us tightly. It stops us, like a speedboat heading towards shore, from envisioning, creating, dreaming, about what CAN happen, what we can BE. This weekend. Set the Intention. Release the need to please and BE. Let go of the stress and LIVE to LAugh and enjoy life. Remember. 

That is the place where I feel, as I end this, that I need to be. Not searching, or seeking, or discovering, but rather BEING. It's a book and a movie kinda day. The best kind of day. <3 Nothing important... but life itself. and that is a journey <3  

Perhaps I have just forgotten to laugh. <3 <3 <3
