Back in the 1990s it was popular to ask someone what their astrological sign was, because knowing someone’s star sign would determine whether a match could be made. And there is some truth to this because some signs do not get along as well as others (although there is more than sun signs to consider). But now we need to ask about vibration, the critical element to letting us know where we are in our own spiritual growth. We can know whether we surrendering to the process or standing firmly in our need to control by what our vibration is attracting.

How do we know our level of vibration? It is mirrored in our outer reality. This is one truth we can always count on, which shows us where we are on every step of our journey. Whatever connects to us is not good or bad, it is responding to a vibrational opening in our energetic field. These are the guideposts on our journey that show us where the ego wants to control, which becomes our lesson in surrender. With this knowledge we can learn to let go and flow out of that experience into a higher vibration and create a new reality.

This is a constant process that shifts with each situation. At every moment we are controlling or surrendering, deciding how easy or difficult our journey will be. It is usually an unconscious process that we become aware of when our life becomes too hard, difficult people challenge us, things do not work out or we feel stuck. Here the ego digs in its heels for a fight and spirit whispers to us that we need to surrender. What we do in that moment determines whether we are flowing or stuck, in the present moment or in the past.

Everything in our reality flows us, effortlessly or painfully, into higher dimensions. The challenging people and situations are our lessons in surrender although our first response is to show them that we are in control. The answer we need to move on in our journey is found in their vibration. This is our lesson in surrender. If we will pause and ask this question we can learn from our teachers and move ahead on our journey, allowing the energy of lessons and pain to move out of our reality and replace them with an effortless flow of joy and abundance.

The journey of life is really a journey of control, where we either learn that we are not in control and spend a lifetime trying to change that any way we can. Or, where we learn that to be in control we must learn about surrender and then we have all of the control we need. But before we can get to the point of surrender we try many ways to control our reality and we become master manipulators who create a reality that, by all appearances, looks like we are in control. But is it true and can we make it last?

We enroll ourselves in the school of manipulation at an early age. As babies, we learned that certain types of crying resulted in the attention we wanted. Then crying progressed into tantrums and anger, then we learned to verbalize our needs and when that no longer worked, we became silent, angry and moody teenagers. What we learned through all of this was that we can do things to get others to behave in the way we want them to. What we did not learn was how to manage our own energy to control our reality, without feeling that to do this we had to control others.

Most of us would cringe at the thought that we are master manipulators, but we all use manipulation to get what we want. We dress and act in ways that will convince people to like us, we go to the right schools and have the right jobs so that others will think we are successful. We learn to say the right things to convince people that we are worthy of their love, attention and acceptance. And we do what others think is right and proper so we can please them. Our crying and tantrums become more quiet, but they are our silent cries for attention, love and acceptance.

Manipulation is based on our need to control our outer world, which we know is no more than a reflection of our inner reality. Our need for control is based on our fears that we are not enough and our need to be part of someone else’s world. Yet without this fear, there is no need for manipulation because our inner power creates a powerful outer world. Are you manipulating someone or a situation in some way? Do not be afraid to admit it and see it without judgment. It is your way of believing you can create an outcome through others. How can you use your own power so that you do not have use your energy in manipulation (and it takes a lot of energy) and instead, set your intention and let the Universe bring it to you?

Who is in control?
The lessons of surrender and control are some of our most challenging and our most confusing. Beginning with the idea that surrender means ‘giving up’ and control means being ‘in charge’ no wonder we fight when we should be surrendering and surrender when we should be fighting. We are afraid to assert our control so we do not stand in the way of the Universe and in doing so, we often stand still when we should be taking action. The big question we want to ask is ‘who is in control”. And the answer is, we are, at all times, even if it appears that we are not.

We have had too many experiences of the results of control in our lives and as we stand at the point of transformation we are at now, we are afraid of using our power to create more disharmony in our lives. Just when it appears that we are using our power in the ‘right’ way, a lesson appears and we learn more about patience, divine timing, acceptance and allowing. How can we be comfortable with the concept of control and where are the boundaries?

There is no right or wrong way to use our power and to assert the control we have over our reality as long as we realize that every step forward into new territory allows us to move closer to our own heaven on earth. It is a process of refining our reality so we know exactly what works for us, and what doesn’t. There is great value in being able to view a situation from the point of choice and realizing that we are complete with it as it has no energy for us and we can let it go. Or that it does have value for us and we can pursue it and learn that by surrendering we allow more of that energy to manifest.

We control our reality in the best way when we are always questioning the value of what is before us. Does it bring us joy, contribute to our vision for our reality, are we at peace with it and is it flowing? We can use our control to make things work or to step back and allow the Universe to remove whatever is not working. Whatever we choose, we are in control of every step on our path. The Universe responds to us to create the reality we believe is right and best for us in that moment. When we are blocked, we can surrender to release the blocks and use our control to create something else. Set your intention for what you want and use the power of your thoughts, beliefs, faith and trust to co-create it. As you create a powerful, fulfilling reality, you will become comfortable with your ability to control and will no longer be afraid to step forward into the reality you know is right for you.

Passive Aggressive Control
When going from control to surrender, we struggle with how to release our need to make life happen in the way we think it should and instead, allow what is right and best for us to flow into our reality. True control comes with surrender but until we achieve that we create an illusion of control by manipulating energies and being passive aggressive, disguising our true intentions and approaching others with a personal agenda. This is something we all do to varying degrees and must own if we are to consciously be in the energy of surrender.

How are we passive aggressive? When we do something nice for someone, hoping they will appreciate it and then resent them when they don’t. When we give hints about what we want and then are angry become someone doesn’t take the hint. When we say ‘yes’ instead of ‘no’ and are upset when someone says OK, instead of letting us off the hook. In each of these situations, we are out of integrity with what we want but are afraid to tell the truth.

Now as spiritual people we cringe at the thought that we could be out of integrity and have trouble dealing with our own anger. Being spiritual does not mean that we will never be angry. But when we are not honest about our intentions and then become angry with someone because they are not taking hints or responding to our unspoken desires in the way we want them to, then we are being passive aggressive, saying one thing when we really mean something else.

If we are aligned with our intention there is no need for us to use force or manipulation to manifest what we want because with surrender, we are in control. When we are clear about our intention we do not need to be passive aggressive with others because with clarity we are surrounded by people and situations that respond to our intention, instead of blocking it. And with clarity we are not afraid to state our true intentions, owning that the responsibility and power for their fulfillment lies within us. We do not need to hide our true desires behind hints, hopes and silence because we believe in our dreams and do not need anyone’s validation or agreement to know that we are worthy of having them come true. And this is the gift of surrender, the control that allows us to be in the flow of miracles, manifesting an abundant and joyful reality.

In regard to the recent earthquake in Haiti and the chaos that is unfolding in our world I asked this question of The Family of Light.
What are we to do in such a time as this?

Here is their response:
You are to hone your skills as a being of light whereby you live within the state of knowing that surrounds your mental field. You must move beyond the mind and the limitations of the mental realm and open to the higher states of being where wisdom is always available to you in each new moment.
Do not despair as these times unfold. For you have been preparing for times such as these for a millennia. Do not lose your trust and faith in the Divine Plan just as it is coming to fruition. Trust and surrender we ask of you. Your higher self knows what you at times do not. Trust that all is in alignment and all the events which play out before you now are for the good of all. Do not allow yourself to get caught up in the dramas of the 3D world. You know from your innermost being that the dismantling of the old provides the path for the creation of the new. Your people as a collective have yearned for the changes that are now upon you. All have made their choices in the higher realms and will take up their rightful places as circumstances continue to unfold.
Become the detached observer as drama ensues on your planet. Know that all is necessary, all has been contracted, and all choices have been made from the level of soul. Those who have chosen to leave the planet at this time whether through dramatic circumstance or slipping into the realms of death do so from a place of choice. So do not get caught up in modes of sympathy, sadness or angst as events unfold. Stand firm in your knowing and bless those souls for their assistance and part in the transformation of these times.
The planet herself is shifting and releasing and we are aiding her in this in ways that will cause the least chaos to the masses. But know that her birthing is upon her and cannot be stopped until the birth of the new planetary being is complete. Those of you who would accompany her into the new realms are those who have been preparing for this by attending to their own emotional clearing and release. What is accomplished on the planetary or collective levels must first be accomplished on the personal level. As you clear yourselves of karma, disease, limitation and emotional blockages you help pave the way for such cleansing and healing on the collective level.
Know that all is well. Take time to dwell in the inner sanctum of your heartspace and there find the comfort, assuredness and wisdom that you need to keep you centered, grounded and sure in these coming times. Your light, your love and your wisdom will be greatly needed as those around you are shaken into awakening and begin to ask the questions that you have been asking for a long time. You can aid these ones from a place of strength having weathered your own inner storms and upheaval. You are prepared. You have all the assistance you will ever need. Do not fear. Do not be in despair. Do not remain in the sadness, but rejoice because the first rays of the new dawn appear before you shedding light on the wonders that are to come. We are ever with you. We love and rejoice with you. Our hearts are full as we witness your courage, your conviction and the deep love you have for the Creator as you have volunteered to be here for this moment in time!
You have our love. Call on us. We are here for you!!\

From our human perspective our life is a series of lessons, opportunities, periods of joy and sorrow that we try to manage while remembering our spirituality and trying to make everything fit so that we can be happy and successful. But as with everything in the Universe, it is much more than that. We are on a mission to bring a new world order, a new paradigm for humanity that is the spiritual human and to do that we have to create balance between the spiritual and material. This balance is actually about detachment, within which we are at zero point on the polarity scale. We find this point of equilibrium by choosing how we will respond to our lessons, by creating balance or seeking revenge.

When we are out of balance we are out of integrity with our internal power source, which is our connection to Spirit. Then every situation in our life makes us feel powerless, ineffective, we struggle and look for acknowledgement in our outer reality. But it cannot exist there until we find our balance within. This can become a frustrating exercise in seeking out people and situations that will prove to us that we are right and worthy and deserving of love and respect. And we are, but we are not going to find it until we find and resolve our inner source of imbalance.

We are so powerful that the Universe lets us choose how we will respond to the world, it will never tell us what to do although it will provide us with strong hints as to the source of our healing and resolution, which is what will bring us into balance. But instead of agreeing, we try to prove the world wrong and we seek revenge, trying to change the outer reality instead of going within and correcting our internal imbalance. We spend so much time proving the world wrong instead of remembering that it is only an illusion, a mirror of our own energetic paradigm.

We are spiritual people, loving souls whose energetic vocabulary does not include revenge because it is a “bad” thing that others do. But any time we believe that the world is wrong, we are right and we will do anything we can to prove that, revenge is our energy and where we focus our efforts. And we make ourselves powerless through these actions. Instead, we can ask how we can be detached, find that neutral power and then we will bring ourselves in balance, so that we can powerfully create our reality in a way that allows the world to mirror our power back to us.

Not only is the Law of Attraction the most powerful Law in the Universe, but you must understand it before anything else that we offer will be of value. And you must understand it before anything you are living, or anything you observe anyone else living, will make any sense. Everything in your life and the lives of those around you is affected by the Law of Attraction. It is the basis of everything you see manifesting. It is the basis of everything that comes into your experience. An awareness of the Law of Attraction and an understanding of how it works is essential to living life on purpose. In fact, it is essential to living the life of joy that you came forth to live.

The Law of Attraction says: That which is like unto itself, is drawn. When you say, “Birds of a feather flock together,” you are actually talking about the Law of Attraction. You see it evidenced when you wake up feeling unhappy, and then throughout the day things get worse and worse, and at the end of the day you say, “I shouldn’t have gotten out of bed.” You see the Law of Attraction evidenced in your society when you see that the one who speaks most about illness has illness; when you see that the one who speaks most about prosperity has prosperity. The Law of Attraction is evident when you set your radio dial on 630AM and you expect to receive the broadcast from the transmitting tower of 630AM, because you understand that the radio signals between the transmitting tower and your receiver must match.

As you begin to understand—or better stated, as you begin to remember—this powerful Law of Attraction, the evidence of it that surrounds you will be easily apparent, for you will begin to recognize the exact correlation between what you have been thinking about and what is actually coming into your experience. Nothing merely shows up in your experience. You attract it—all of it. No exceptions.

Because the Law of Attraction is responding to the thoughts that you hold at all times, it is accurate to say that you are creating your own reality. Everything that you experience is attracted to you because the Law of Attraction is responding to the thoughts that you are offering. Whether you are remembering something from the past, observing something in your present, or imagining something about your future, the thought that you are focused upon in your powerful now has activated a vibration within you—and the Law of Attraction is responding to it now.

People often explain, in the midst of unwanted things occurring in their experience, that they are certain they did not create such a thing. “I wouldn’t have done this unwanted thing to myself!” they explain. And while we know that you did not deliberately bring this unwanted thing into your experience, we must still explain that only you could have caused it, for no one else has the power to attract what comes to you but you. By focusing upon this unwanted thing, or the essence of it, you have created it by default. Because you did not understand the Laws of the Universe, or the rules of the game, so to speak, you have invited unwanted things into your experience through your attention to them.

To better understand the Law of Attraction, see yourself as a magnet attracting unto you the essence of that which you are thinking and feeling. And so, if you are feeling fat, you cannot attract thin. If you feel poor, you cannot attract prosperity, and so on. It defies Law.

The more you come to understand the power of the Law of Attraction, the more interest you will have in directing your thoughts—for you get what you think about, whether you want it or not. Without exception, that which you give thought to is that which you begin to invite into your experience.
