Your soul's journey, pt. 1

If you're reading this now then you've been on Earth before.  A lot, most likely!
Let's go into how you got to be you.  We'll then spend some time looking at what we can do with these ideas when we begin claiming them.
     Your soul is pure love and exists always connected to G-D, All that is.  It is a higher aspect of you.  Each of our individual journeys is a co-creation, a remembering, connection and transformation.  Before you were born you were in the non-physical, spirit world.  While there, you rest between incarnations, review your life and begin plans to return to Earth to learn the lessons you have set out for yourself.
     It is ESSENTIAL that you understand that you are always on a path of growth and evolution.  The pace that you do it at is up to you.  A lot of our lessons and experiences can be done while in spirit, for today we are focusing on your journey here on Earth in this lifetime.
     Many souls have returned at this time to be present for the great changes in our world that are now underway.  Most do not remember this choice, but many are now waking up!  If you want to see a movie that's a good representation of this, rent "Defending your life"  w/ Albert Brooks and Glenn Close, it's hilarious and thought provoking!
     The soul evolves thru 100's of lifetimes, perhaps even a thousand or so before we complete our lessons and are freed from the wheel of re-birth.  When you hear yourself saying "He's a wise soul" or "She's an old soul" you are in fact feeling that person's spiritual maturity emanate from them from having the experience of many lives.  Very young, newer souls tend to have simple lives close to the earth.  Soul energies tend to group themselves in order to provide the best opportunities to grow and evolve.  Most people living urban or suburban lifestyles will have had dozen's of lifetimes of experience or more.  Be careful to not judge anyone by their external appearances.  Great souls can take on the guise of anyone rich or poor, healthy or sick, in order to do their work.  Remember, we are all one with our great Source, there is no separation.  You can discover some of your past-life info on your own with some basic techniques or you can work with a skilled practitioner to assist you.  Even some psychologists offer past life regression work.
     Moving back to your source involves many steps and many lessons.  The two most important are:  It's about your current life, that's where your power resides.  Second,  self-love and opening your heart no matter what occurs is the key.
     Before you come into life you work with a team of loving assistants(angels, guides, teachers, loved ones) to creat your "blueprint" of what you wish to accomplish in your life.  In it you typically outline 5-7 major things to work on.  Each time you complete a blueprint item you give yourself an increase in your vibration - which feels very good!  Blueprints are approved beforehand- there's no negative events allowed.  You can't come back and take revenge on someone who wronged you in a previous life!
     In order to complete your mission you choose the parents and family situation best suited for your growth and the things you want to work on.  All of these plans are coordinated at a higher level in perfect order.  It's really amazing the detail and loving care that goes into it.  Then when you're approved you return and begin anew!  There's some interesting stuff about drinking from the "river of forgetfulness" in order to come here and not be totally distracted by the magnificence of Home, going thru the Cave of Creation and all that.  If you'd like to hear more about that then post a comment or send me a note and I'll be happy to share it.
     We come to life for learning and fun.  So why is it so difficult for most of us?  It's because we're at a density of thought and living that is very thick and has been for thousands of years.  We can lose our way and forget our soul and it's light and instead get caught up in our heads, our ego's.  Your soul speaks thru your heart and most of us haven't been taught how to listen or have learned to suppress this gentle voice.
     The shift of consciousness we are experiencing is moving all of us to a higher, more expansive vibration.  This means it is now easier to hear from our Higher selves, which are the messengers of our soul.  We have to work at it, though!  Evolution, Ascension and Enlightenment occur thru our desire and intentions.  They are reflected in our open hearts and clear minds.  What is your heart telling you?  Are you truly living your authentic life?
Take the blessings of difficulty and uncertainty that you are feeling and really ask yourself, "Is this what I truly want to be doing?"  Let's celebrate each other by the lightness in our step, our openness of  heart and the love we have within ourselves.  It's not about all the stuff, status, position, etc.  So take a bit of time, as much as you can, and live like you want to be and only your opinion matters!  Good luck to you loving, caring, noble, brave souls I know you are! 

Best wishes for a soulful week,

Robert

2012 and you, what's all this about?

Today in conjunction with the release of the new movie 2012 I thought that I'd write and give you my perspective on what's occurring. 
From what I can tell from trailers and media reports this movie is going to have some amazingly over the top special effects about the destruction of the world as we know it.  My favorite scene is when the Tibetan monk gets washed off the mountaintop in the Himalayas.  I mean if you can't be safe on a mountaintop, then what are you gonna do?

So what's 2012 about?

2012 refers to the end date on the Mayan calender which is December 21, 2012.  This according to their beliefs and cosmology is the end of the current Age and the movement into the next.  It doesn't necessarily mean that everything and everyone is destroyed and we all start over, although that certainly has occurred in the distant past.  However, we are in times of momentous transformation and are moving into a higher way of living and being on this planet.

Why is this occurring?

It's happening because you and I have asked for it!  Some have consciously asked and others perhaps less so.  Others still have no idea what's going on and are waiting for things to "go back to normal".  If history shows us anything, change is a constant.  Right now we're already in the throes of this change, and preparations are underway on a planetary scale to re-align our ourselves, our institutions and society at large to make this tremendous leap.  This in fact is something that we have waited for for thousands of years, and it is our birthright as children of God, the Creator, All that Is, Universe, etc.
In keeping w/ the theme of this blog I'll explain it this way.  For thousands of years we've been living in duality which is the 3rd dimension.  You know, right/wrong, good/bad, love/fear.  I could go on and on.  This is the nature of this vibration.  What is now occurring is the planet(Gaia I'll call her) has decided to graduate to a 5th dimensional vibration of Love and Light.  Great news!  This means she'll only support beings that are ready, willing and able to move into creation in that manner.  And even though most of you might be scratching your heads, trust me, you knew what you were getting into when you decided to be born into this time period.  In fact it's a great privelege to be here right now!  And yes, you do decide to incarnate.  You in fact choose it all - you are not a victim of anyone or anything! 
How do I know this?  I've come to trust my inner guidance, intuition and gentle and not so gentle nudgings of my Higher Self which have been occurring for about 15 years while I've led a "regular life" of having a "normal" job, etc.  Perhaps you've heard it too?

Despite what you may read or see in the mainstream media, things will continue to be challenging for those who cling to what has been.  An analogy I like to use is that it's like old software that's become outdated and is no longer supported.  You can continue to use it but it just won't work very well.  The new software of the 5th dimension is here and available for free upgrade, but you've got to choose it.  Everything is ultimately about choice.  Are you ready to choose to live a more love filled life in every aspect of your daily life? 

We've made life complicated and difficult.  Lot's of losers and few winners.  When you look at the planet as a whole, only about 25% of the world is living a life like we do in the U.S. The other 3/4 of us are just trying to stay alive day by day.  The world has been presented to us to be one of scarity and we have to fight to have what we have.  This is not true!  Look out at the stars tonite and see how unfathomable the visible Universe around us is and then try to tell me we should believe in scarcity.  Hogwash!  There's more than enough for all.  In order for us to get to the beginning of the new era there's going to be a shakeout.  Yes, it will likely appear even more challenging for a while before it gets better, but it will get better.

What can I do?

The best thing you can do for yourself is practice gratitude.  Be grateful for what you have, keep your thoughts in appreciation.  Love yourself.  Simplify your life.  The rampant era of consumerism is OVER!  One of the things I like the most about this time is appreciating what really matters to me, loving relations with family and friends.  Discovering new like minded people who are waking up all around me.  Letting go of things that just don't serve me - I've done a lot and have more to do because I understand that it's who I am and not what I have that matters most to me, after all I've got to live w/ myself 24/7!

A few more things:

It's likely that we'll see more of our major institutions in crisis and decline.  The banking industry is a house of cards and is the linch-pin of the old ways.  It's gotta go.  Don't stress about it.  Just keep living your life and it'll get worked out.  We're not doing this by ourselves.  We have tremendous help from unseen dimensions that are guiding us.  Trust that!  The healthcare system is not going to make it in its present form.  Healing is about to make a major leap forward.  In my opinion it should be titled the "disease management system".  You'll see a sweeping change as many people are moving into wellness practices thru diet and exercise.  This will also be complemented by people taking charge of their emotional health as well.
The planet needs to be cleaned up.  We've treated Gaia like a garbage dump for all of our miscreations and a big part of the coming years will be learning to live in harmony with her.  The "Green" movement that's starting is a great step in the right direction.  There's 100 times more energy available from the Sun and renewable sources such as wind and wave power than the 80 Million barrels of oil we are said to burn on a daily basis.  Government will have to be reformed on many levels.  We've got too much bureaucracy and it wastes money.  As the shift goes forward this will have to be dealt with.

And a little on the bright side:

People are awakening.  Thru economic changes especially we're collectively being knocked out of our complacency, being forced to get up from our TV sets, and poke our heads out into the world.  The spiritual energy is building and there will come a day when many will remember - we will remember that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience.  We'll remember that we are part of a vast oneness that is calling us.  I don't know how it will exactly occur, but I do know it will happen.  That's what 2012 is about.  Be glad you are here to participate and witness the greatest transformation Humanity has ever known.  Your part is important!  Just do what you can with love, for the more you love yourself in each moment, the more you will see it around you.

Namaste,

Robert

What do you really want?

While thinking today about what it is that I really want to do with my life I came to the question "What can I offer Life?".  I was thinking about it while showering and my intution spoke to me: "Give your Light".   How appropriate!  I'll tell 'ya, I do some of my best intuiting while in water, whether it be the shower or any other means.  Another friend of mine told me recently that she came to a great realization while washing dishes!  In alchemy we use the elements and connect to that higher part of ourselves.  Our bodies are a part of Nature, a part of the Earth, our spirits are part of the non-physical realm, Heaven, etc. and we are the nexus, the connecting point of these great energies.
So let's get back to why I asked the question.  Like many I am going thru a transition as my main occupation for the last 20 yrs has lost its appeal during this challenging economic time.  It is something that no longer feels like service as I would like it to be.  Yes, I could keep doing it and find a way to transform it into something that I believe would help people.  But my longing is to connect with you in a greater way, and in greater numbers than I could with that career.  That is why I'm writing this blog, to exercise my latent talents of writing and teaching.  Many of us are facing similar circumstances and it's not going to go away, or go back to what it was.  We each must choose to go within, listen to our heart's as best we can, and create our new lives based on those inner whispers.  Too often, we've been running our lives based on our ego's desires, and look what a mess we've created on this planet, rampant pollution, militarization, runaway consumerism, etc.  Individually and collectively we have this result, and most of us have been just trying to make the best of it, doing what we can.  Some have had astounding success and material prosperity, some have done it in a balanced way, but sadly most have not benefitted.  You see, in the 3-D world it is based on win-lose, a scarcity that says one must take what one wants before someone else gets it, because there's not going to be enough.  Enough!  Enough of what? 
I choose to live in the new energy of the 5th dimension, which is all about win-win.  It's about consciously living in the vibrant energy of the moment.  It's about believing that there is abundance that will not "run out".  Abundance is not just of material things:  food, clothing, shelter, transportation, etc.  It is about the abundance of love and connection with one's self that radiates out into the world around you.  BEGIN WHERE YOU ARE!  It's the only place you can be.  Each of you is a beautiful light, a divine being who has come here to learn how to love, while having taken on the veils of forgetfulness that have shrouded you and I for thousands of years.  Thankfully now, enough of us have prayed and worked so that now the veils are thinning and we are regaining what was lost so long ago. 
Many are beginning to speak of Ascension and 2012 and all of that and more and more are hearing.  There is much work to be done to restore what has long eluded us as a species.  When one speaks of Ascension, we must also recall the Descension, this long period where we long ago suddenly and dramatically fell from a higher vibrating reality, to have to climb up to where we are now. 
Where are we?  We are in the Shift, the great turning point, when we will regain our connections long lost to our higher selves(really they were never completely gone, just shrouded).  There is no separation from Source.  If only I could bring that undeniable Love here to each of you and allow it to ignite your hearts!  What Joy there would be, what a different world it would be!  I want to teach you about the Angels, your guides who love you dearly, teach you that you are not alone, that we are only a sincere prayer away from a miracle.  I want to teach you that you are powerful beyond measure, powerful because you choose to live your love and not hide your light in fear.  Remember this:  False Evidence Appearing Real.  Fear.  That's all it is.  I know it can seem so real, but it's not.  Just choose love, even if it's only for a few minutes a day.  We've got a lot of work ahead of us, but it's going to be glorious!  We are re-forming, re-formatting our lives and society as we speak to this higher vibration.  It IS happening.  The world we will live in in 20 years will be so much better, because we each have chosen to bring and live it.  Bring it! 

In light,

Robert
