The re-birthing teachers

Every aspect of our life, with each lifetime, is an opportunity for us to remember who we are within the context of our power, love and divinity. We don’t enter the world as powerless humans, we enter it as humans who do not remember their power. Then we experience a series of lessons whose purpose is to help us reconnect to our power and use it to make powerful decisions and choices. To do this we have countless teachers whose role in our life is to assist in the re-birthing process.

Everyone in our life is a teacher and each one has a role in our ascension and reconnection journey. Some teachers can be challenging, others are a joy to be with. Each one has a blessing for us as long as we gain the understanding that they make available to us. The key is in how long we take to understand the role our teachers play, make space in our consciousness for their lessons and learn to take what we need and to leave at the proper moment.

Lessons are often delivered in confusing ways. The most powerful teachers are those who challenge us to resolve the lessons within ourselves, forcing us to find the source of our healing, peace, love and power from our own resources. They don’t refuse to love us because we are unlovable, although that is what we believe, their role is to get us to go within for whatever we are seeking.

When we can see our teachers in the light of who they are, messengers who arrive in our life at the moment we are ready to step into new energies and, what they are, our source to reconnection, everything about our lessons change. Our teachers no longer seem so intimidating and powerful. They do not have power over us as they are simply holding an energetic space for us, waiting for us to step into it. This week look at the various teachers in your life. What was their blessing, what did they teach you about your re-birthing and how can you empower yourself so you can release them?

Self-healing – Uriel Heals / Jennifer Hoffman

Each lifetime is a journey in self healing and the world is a mirror of the healing that each one of you has come to accomplish. The world does not need to be healed as much as it needs to experience your healing. Then it experiences the higher vibrations and moves into its healed potential. Each person in your life is a mirror of your own healing. Those you believe come to you for healing are a mirror of the healing you have agreed to complete. If you heal them you are not healed. But if you heal yourself they can become a mirror of your healing.

You believe that you are called to heal the world and you become frustrated because it seems that the world refuses to honor your commitment. There is still pain, chaos and suffering everywhere you look. You feel that in the course of your lifetimes you have made little progress because the world you return to is always the same. But is it? The world simply reflects the energy of the collective, a mirror of the healing that is yet to be done. And the energy you notice is that which is to be healed within you.

Each of you resonates with an energetic spectrum that you can move from fear to love. These energetic vibrations are part of your soul commitment, which is why you are aware of and feel pulled by specific kinds of suffering. Some of you want to heal the hungry, others the sick, others the defenseless and powerless, others work to empower children. Whatever energies you need to heal in the world are those you must heal within yourselves as they represent your karmic journey, your disconnection and your soul’s wounds.

With each experience and interaction remember that this is a journey of self healing, of your journey to wholeness, divinity and reconnection. Your teachers mirror your need for healing to you. And the world responds to the reflection of your healed self and it can then be healed. Your question with everyone should be ‘What is being mirrored to me and how can I heal this within myself?’ Then you will be given the information and tools to complete this healing. As you hold your healed powerful self before the world, it will respond with its own healing.

Is this really what God wants? Neale Donald Walsch

My dear friends…

Sometimes I get notes from people wondering, first, if there even is a “God,” and, second, if there is a God, what God wants.

Many humans have been told that What God Wants is for life to be a school, a place of learning, a time of testing, a brief and precious opportunity to migrate the soul back to heaven, back to God, whence it came.

Many humans have also been told that it’s when life ends that the real joy begins. All of life should be considered a prelude, a forerunner, a platform upon which is built the soul’s experience of eternity. Life should therefore be led with an eye toward the Afterlife, for what is earned now will be experienced forever.

Most humans also believe that What God Wants is for people to understand that life consists of what people can see, hear, taste, touch and smell-and nothing more.

One result of this teaching: Humans believe that life is not easy, nor is it supposed to be. It’s a constant struggle. In this struggle, anything other than what is perceived by the five senses is considered “supernatural” or “occult” and falls, therefore, into the category of “trafficking with the Devil” and “the work of Satan.”

Humans are struggling to get back to God, and into God’s good graces. They are struggling to get back home. This is what life is about. It’s about the struggle of the soul, living within the body, to get back home, to return to God, from Whom it has been separated.

Most people of religious persuasion focus heavily on Heaven and Hell. Those who believe that “getting to Heaven” is the ultimate Purpose of Life, and who truly and fervently believe that they can guarantee their entrance into Heaven by doing certain things while on earth, will, of course, seek to do those things.

They’ll make sure that their sins are confessed regularly, and that their absolutions are up to date, so that if they die suddenly their soul will be ready for Judgment Day. They’ll fast for hours, days, or weeks at a time, travel on pilgrimages to distant holy places, go to church or temple or mosque or synagogue every week without fail, tithe 10% of their income, eat or not eat certain foods, wear or not wear certain clothing, say or not say certain words, and engage in all manner of rites and rituals.

They’ll obey the rules of their religion, honor the customs of their faith tradition, and follow the instructions of their spiritual leaders in order to demonstrate to God that they are a worthy person, so that a place will be reserved for them in Paradise.

If they are distressed enough and oppressed enough and unhappy enough, some humans will even end their own lives and kill other people-including the totally innocent and the absolutely unsuspecting-for the promise of a reward in heaven.

(If that promised reward happens to be 72 black-eyed virgins with whom to spend all of eternity, and if the humans in question happen to be 18 to 30-year-old men with little future and a dust-laden, poverty stricken, injustice-filled present, the chances of their making such an extraordinarily destructive decision will increase tenfold.)

They’ll do this because they believe this is What God Wants.

But is it?

I believe that one of the most important books ever given to me was the text, What God Wants. If you have not read this little book in a while, it might be wonderful to give it another look as we end this seventh month of the year.

In it we are told that when we really understand what God wants,” humans will know that the answer is: nothing. Nothing at all. How could God want anything when God has, and IS, everything God could possibly want?

When we know this, we will understand that life is not a school, neither is it a time of testing. If God wants nothing, there is no reason for a test. If humans are One with God, there is nothing to learn, there is only to remember what has been forgotten.

Humans will also understand that life is not an ordeal during which the soul struggles to get back to God, but rather, is an ongoing process by which the soul seeks to know God, then to grow, to expand, and to experience more of what it is. It will also be clear that this process, called evolution, never ends, but is experienced by the soul everlastingly, at different levels and in different life forms.

Humans will also understand that life is not limited to what can be perceived by the five senses, but is far wider in scope and deeper in dimension than humans at first imagined or have ever been told by religion.

One result of this teaching: Much more attention will be paid to what is not perceived by the five senses, and this will be the basis of a new understanding of life and how it might be most joyfully and wonderfully experienced.

Life will not be lived with an eye toward the Afterlife, but with an eye toward what is being created, expressed, and experienced at many levels of perception in the Holy Moment of Now. Humans will become increasingly aware that “now” is The Only Time There Is.

Life will not be experienced as a struggle or as an effort to “get back home” to God, but rather, as a free-flowing expression of one’s intrinsic nature, which is unlimited and divine.

“Getting to heaven” will no longer be the ultimate purpose in life. Creating heaven wherever you are will be seen as the prime objective. To experience this, people will not have to confess any sins or fast during daylight hours or travel on pilgrimages or go to places of worship weekly or tithe regularly or perform any particular ritual or act-although they may choose to do any of these things if it pleases them, or helps to remind them of who they are in relationship to God, or assists them in staying connected with their purpose.

Because of their deeper understanding and rich personal experience of life as a unified field, for people everywhere life itself will become the prime value, and the core around which all spiritual understanding and expression revolves.

We do not know how much longer our own life will go on. Our time on this planet could be over tomorrow. Because this is so, I want, for my part, to use every available moment, every minute, every second, to move as richly as I can, as fully as I can, into the highest expression of which I am capable of the greatest vision ever I held about who I am.

I want to demonstrate God on earth, in me, through me, as me. Even if there is no “God,” even if I’m “making it all up,” can there be a better way to live; a more purposeful, nicer way to move through the days and nights of one’s existence?

So today, each moment, with each decision about what I shall eat, what I shall wear, what I shall think, what I shall say, what I shall do-I am going to try to ask myself: If God where here right now, working in me, through me, as me, what would God do now?

Want to join me in the experiment?

Love and Hugs,
Neale.

Ending relationships – Abraham-Hicks

Question: Why is it so hard to break up with somebody, especially the person who is being left?

Abraham: Why is it hard to end a relationship and why is it especially hard to be the one who is left behind? Well most relationships when they end, the one who is leaving the one who is being left is usually doing quite of bit of justifying why the one who is leaving is leaving.

So the one who is left is being explained to that they are being left because they are inappropriate in this way, inappropriate in this way, and inappropriate in this way. And you just can’t listen to a dialogue that speaks contrary to what your Inner Being knows to be true and feel good at the same time.

Now if two people are having a relationship and they are both forward looking and they are going to the future rather than pushing from the past, it’s conceivable that relationships could evolve and change without anybody getting their feelings hurt.

But most people don’t make a change without pushing against what is. Isn’t that interesting? That would be like driving down the freeway and saying I’m going here because I can’t stand here. Well that isn’t true. Usually when you’re driving, you’re going someplace you’re not usually fleeing from something unless it’s the hurricane in Florida. In other words, you’re going to where you’re going. If you could adopt that with relationships things could feel better.

We would like to say to all of you that we would like you to stop feeling uncomfortable about evolving in your relationships. We would also like you to leave behind the feeling that you have to justify why you’re going. That comes in large part because there are so many people who are aware of you in your relationship who are not in the relationship with you. Who have opinions about you in the relationship. In other words, family & friends are often aware of you in your relationships. And they have developed this picture of you in your relationship which you try to live up to, even though it’s a different picture from a lot of different places.

And so when you decide that you would feel better someplace else, usually you get in this very defensive justifying mode where you have to activate all of the reasons why you don’t want to be here in order to justify going over there. But what happens is all that does is activate all this cross current in you.

You want something different than you have but you activate what you have which just splits your energy and makes you less effective. And then those who watch you can see that your life seems to be disintegrating and then they will announce to you “I don’t think you’re making a good choice because you don’t seem as happy as I’ve seen you before.” And what you want to say is “I’m not happy because I’m trying to please all of you and it isn’t possible. If I could just do what feels best for me to do without having to justify why I’m doing it my energy would be clearer and I would feel a lot better. And my future relationship would come faster, and I would continue to thrive.”

Question: Why does it have the ability to throw your energy off so much, make you lose faith?

Answer: When someone disapproves of you? When someone decides that they want something other than to be in a relationship with you? Why does it make you lose confidence in yourself?

Question: Energetically why does it have the ability to throw your energy off so much?

Answer: Well it wouldn’t if you had learned before that happened how to align with your own source.

See with most people, when someone adores you, in their appreciation of you, they are in alignment with source energy and they are flooding it all over you. And since it is activated in them, they are activating it in you, so you got this really good thing going. But then as you become dependent on their appreciation of you in order to feel that way, when they withdraw their appreciation of you and you haven’t learned to connect to that source energy yourself, you feel like a puppet that someone has let go of the strings.

And so if you’re a confident person, you’ve shown yourself that you’re free no matter what anyone else thinks, that you can feel good no matter what is happening around you. If you’ve been practicing that unconditional love that says I’m gonna feel good because I want to feel good, I’m gonna scramble around and find something by darn that’s gonna make me feel good, even in a field of things that don’t feel so good, I’m gonna find something that makes me feel good because my connection to source matters to me more than all things put together then nothing that anybody else could ever do could set you off your game.

But most people don’t learn that. You’re born into families where parents teach you right away that our happiness matters more than yours. They teach you right away “don’t pay any attention to your guidance, you’re small, you’re stupid, and you don’t know what you’re doing and we’ve been around a long time and we’ve had all the hard knocks and we know where the bumps in the road are, and we’ll guide you. So disregard what you feel and do what we say.” And they say no one said it was gonna be fair. [Abraham did.] And they say no one said it was supposed to be fun. [Abraham did.]

nd no one said that life is just. [Abraham did.] But your parents are interested in converting you or getting you to conform to something they think will feel best to them. And then they hand you off to the school, to the church, to bodies of people who consistently convince you that you need to do what will make them feel better about you and it’s no wonder you lose your own guidance, you see. And since you’ve been looking toward what others think, you’ve been trained to do that for a very long time, that you just transfer that mantle to your newest love. You say I care so much about how you feel about me that I will disregard how I feel. Then that one, being the fickle one that one always is, lets you down every single time.

We do not know of anyone who has the ability to consistently hold you as their object of attention that could even come close to your connection to source energy. They’re gonna let you down every single time, you see.

That’s why in the therapist’s office there’s all this talk about how my mother did this, or my daughter did this, or my father did this. Everybody’s blaming everybody else for their own insecurity.

And we just gotta say that you’re insecure because you didn’t decide to be secure. You’re not strong because you decided somebody else was stronger and made you weak. You don’t feel good because you didn’t insist on feeling good.

And then you didn’t practice it, and then you say : “You hurt my feelings.” And we would get in a place where our feelings would be `unhurtable’. We’d get in a place where we were so capable of connecting to source energy that it wouldn’t matter what somebody else was doing. So if somebody’s not connected to source energy, and so their not holding me as their object of attention which used to feel good and now doesn’t feel so good, we wouldn’t lose our grip, we wouldn’t lose our place because we’re connected to source energy. And then we’d be like the strong one on the trail, who could give them the hand up if they needed it.

Question. So how would you do that because it seems some people are better at some stressful events and other people are better at other stressful events? So it’s not a deeper issue that I might be better at other stressful events in my life and not be able to handle something like this very well? Not get thrown off my energy in this circumstance.

Answer. Well you’re right. If you have not shown yourself that you can line up with what feels good under any condition, then we know when something devastating like that happens, it’s unlikely for you , now in the midst of this, to use this opportunity to line up.

Sometimes people say , “Abraham, I’ve jumped out of an airplane and I’m at 40 thousand feet without a parachute, what should I do?” We say, “Hang on ,it will be over soon.” There’s enough momentum going that sometimes you just have to ride it out. But the resources of who you are, are so powerful that we know that eventually something will happen that will help you reconnect.

And so what we always tell people, who are new to this work, don’t take the issue that is the most difficult and start with that. Start with easier things. Show yourself on subjects that you don’t feel so lost in that you have the ability to feel better. So now what we’re saying to you is don’t try to jump all the way from despair up into the relief of appreciation. That’s too big of a jump on this issue. Just do your best to find something that feels a little better. What might feel better to you might be anger. You might say, hey I put a lot into this relationship and I did my best. And I was honest every step along the way and I don’t deserve this. And even though it doesn’t make the person come back, you do feel better. That’s the answer to your question. You’ve got to find a thought that causes a vibration within you that gives you a feeling of relief which is the releasing of resistance. But most importantly you’ve got to acknowledge, I found this thought deliberately, and I do feel better in finding it. I don’t plan on staying here in my feeling of revenge or hatred, but I gotta tell you it sure feels better than abandonment. It sure feels better than unworthiness. It sure feels better than that powerless feeling that I can’t guide my own life and that something I really really want I have no control about. It sure does feel better.

That’s what someone leaving you in a relationship, that’s the greatest damage that it does. It says to you that you want something that you can’t have. You want something you can’t control. Is there anything that makes you feel more powerless than to want something that another person has a say in, and their not in agreement with you? So what we want you to understand is that they might have a say in whether they stay with you or not, but they don’t have a say in how you feel about it.

You have the ability to work it around in a way that makes you feel better. When you do, what begins to happen is you radiate this sense of who you are which then attracts somebody who appreciates this sense of who you are. So you just beat the drum of it. You say I feel despair, I shouldn’t have been left behind, this is wrong, I don’t know what to do, how will I ever find another who feels as good as this felt, I thought this was the one who was gonna be the one and I put so much of myself into it, now I don’t know what to do. There’s true despair in that and understandable.

And then you say, wait a minute, I deserve better than this. This should not have happened to me. I deserve a different kind of relationship than this. Maybe there’s something a whole lot better than this coming to me. Certainly the person I want to spend the rest of my life with wouldn’t discard all of this so easily. I must have been barking up the wrong tree and just didn’t know it? Maybe I’m pretty glad that this has happened when it did. I’m glad I didn’t get more invested in this. I could’ve invested a lifetime in this before I find out this. At least now, it’s early.

You see what we’re getting at? Just take every jab that you can and you reach as far as you can find for one simple thing. Not to put the person down and not to get the world to agree with you. But to try to find something that gives you some sensation of relief. Before you know it, you can jump from despair into anger, and before you know it you can jump from anger to hopefulnes, and the minute you make that jump, you’ve taken a big enough leap in your vibrational journey that all kinds of things start shifting around. Very often that much shift even causes a rejoining of the relationship that you thought was lost.

In other words, its amazing how many relationships can be repaired from you coming back into alignment with you. Because it was your misalignment with you that caused it to fall apart in the first place. What happens with most people in relationships is two people stand there both wanting to feel good, both holding the other one responsible for the way they feel. And we say that is so dumb. Because they can’t vibrate for you. And it’s giving them all your power. This one blames that one. This one blames that one. And nobody’s happy.

Where if one of you would say I’m no longer going to hold you responsible for the way I feel. Can you imagine how refreshing that would be? To have someone say to you my happiness is my job and I adore you in so many ways but I’m not going to hold you responsible for the way I feel. I’m holding myself responsible for the way I feel. Wouldn’t you like to hear that? From everybody that is up close to you. Wouldn’t that be like fresh air? Well, don’t wait around because they’re not going to do it to you. But you could give it to them. You can get the same fresh air by saying to them I want you to be happy but I’m not gonna let your unhappiness be the basis of my unhappiness because I want to much to be happy.

The rebirthing process – Uriel Heals – Jennifer Hoffman

The events in our lifetime take us through cycles with a beginning, middle and an end, that then lead us into other cycles. Cycles are not always orderly or obvious, the end can feel nothing like an ending and cycles often overlap, so a new cycle can begin before one ends. If this sounds confusing, it is. But the cycles and where we are in them (we all look forward to the end) are less important than what cycles do, which is bring us to re-birthing, where we emerge with new wisdom and understanding, prepared for the next cycle and steps on our life journey.

When we spend our time looking for the end of a cycle we ignore the most important part, which is the re-birth. How has the cycle changed us, what do we now know and how are we prepared for our next steps are questions we can ask, instead of “am I done yet?” And we risk missing the ending entirely because there is often not a traditional ‘ending’  with closure, completion and a sense of finality. The end of a cycle sometimes arrives with, instead of closure, a realization that whatever we have been focused on is now over and we need to move on or we will stand alone in our desire to have the completion we think we need.

What happens in the beginning and middle of a cycle is just as important as the end. Indeed, they are more important because it is at the end that we can feel stuck, in doubt and unsure of where to go next. The cycle is over and we need to make a move. Unless we are ready to do that, we begin another cycle. We think that being stuck means that we have not made any progress yet that is far from the truth—we are at the end of a cycle and what we need to do is apply our learning, forge a new path and move ahead. What does that mean? With the end of a cycle we are at a new place and where we go next is up to us.

What are cycles about? Any area of healing that we have agreed to complete sets the focus for our cycles. They appear in the area of relationships, health, work, career, success, finances, children and parents, siblings, friends, and our place in the world. We will experience cycles in any one of these areas and often we have them in several areas at the same time. We can, for example, mirror our family cycles in our intimate partnerships, career and have health problems that reflect the emotional energies we are processing. Since every aspect of our life is connected energetically, we cannot isolate our issues and healing to a single area—they will be expressed on many different levels and in all of our life situations.

Cycles begin in childhood, which is when the energy of our healing work is established and they continue throughout our life. Everything we do is related to some aspect of a cycle and we unconsciously gravitate towards the experiences that will help us complete them. So the challenging relationship we choose, the choices we do not make, the missed opportunities, and the elements from our field of potential that we choose to manifest are all related to expressing the energies of our healing cycles.

The re-birthing process is the reason we engage in cycles and what we can look forward to achieving. It is our movement into a new and different energetic level whose reward is better understanding, learning and healing, not the end of cycles. How do we know we are there and what happens when we are re-born? We often don’t know we have succeeded until we move into another cycle and realize, usually midway through it, that we are more detached, less involved in the drama, more careful of where we are putting our energy and making different choices. There is no fanfare, our ‘done’ button does not light up, we just have a feeling of knowing and peace that sneaks up on us, letting us know that we are at this new level.

Cycles do not end as they are a part of living. When we complete one we move into another at a different level of energetic vibration. We become more accepting, less afraid and the cycles are easier to manage. The challenges are no longer life-shattering, even if our heart is breaking, we know there is a higher purpose that will be revealed to us at the right time. And with our new understanding we have true peace, joy and stand in our power. Then we are re-born and have achieved what has been the purpose of all of our lifetimes, stepping across the void of fear and into the timeless, unfolding joy of heaven.
