Message #18

Patterns that are in need of being broken (but of which we are unaware) can suddenly become conscious.  Energies that have vexed the personality over a course of time come to a point where they simply must transform.  The impetus for change often arrives through extreme emotional discomfort.  The desire of self to be released from pain gives birth to a trust in Soul to intercede on its behalf, thus allowing growth.  In the allowing, stuck energy softens, and forward movement is again possible.  Healing begins. The inability to forgive oneself for past actions is often the final frontier over which the ego presides and through which it retains control.  Perceived wrongdoing by others can also play into this equation, though we often find it easier to forgive others than we do ourselves.  The push and pull that results in the reasoning mind as it attempts to consciously understand the choices made and the higher purpose for the painful situation/emotions can create a seemingly endless loop that delays closure.  Whether or not action needs to be taken in order for the ego to let go becomes the ultimate dilemma.  Most often on the earth plane, action is the choice necessary to break through the blocked energy since action is perceived by self to more tangibly tear down the walls with which we are confronted.  Dissolving the barriers that preclude our forward movement can also be achieved energetically; however, most humans, even those who are awakened, often lack the courage and trust to focus the force of their energetic capability in that direction.  Ego’s fear of failure convinces us that only through earthly action can the barrier be removed, and if we once again choose unwisely by doing nothing, the pain will continue.  Fear of experiencing the upset of missing the mark yet again is what stands in the way of allowing us to be lifted to a higher vibration where the perceived barrier instantly evaporates.  Finding the courage and faith to rise above an earthly situation that has captivated us is required, even while the ego cries out, “But how is that done?” Soul’s higher perspective—the eagle-eyed view that sees beyond the limits erected by ego while in human form—must be accessed and BELIEVED so that we no longer give in to the ego’s fearful shouts of injustice, all the while continuing our self-flagellation brought about by a belief in lack—lack of courage, lack of intelligence, lack of authority over self.  These areas are just a few of the illusions of the earth plane that are promoted by ego to interfere with our allowing the higher wisdom of Soul to penetrate us.  Disengaging from fearful projections can be achieved through detaching from repetitive negative thinking while focusing on presence and retention of a higher vibrational state.  Breathwork, a regular meditative practice, and joyful physical movement are all helpful in this regard.  Barriers that the ego perceives as real are only illusions of the earth plane and can be dissolved via the high-level focus of an awakened human being aligned with Soul.  We each have the capacity to manifest higher dimensions in our day-to-day lives by expanding our vibrational fields and rising above the lower expressions of human thought and emotion. Embrace ALL of your human self through acceptance of the totality that you embody while incarnate on planet Earth.  Surrounding yourself with love, acceptance, and forgiveness for perceived wrongdoings and/or errors in judgment allows the Light that not only eases the ego-generated pain of separation, but also lightens the third-dimensional self so that a shift upward in vibration is generated.  Lighten up and fly free!
