The other evening I went to see Men in Black 3 expecting an entertaining and updated version of the previous 2 films, yet there was something more that I saw and wanted to write about here today with you. Besides all of the fun special effects there was a character introduced part way thru the film named Griffin who held what J and K needed. Without giving away the movie for those of you who will still be seeing it I'll explain further what happened that I find encouraging and a bit exciting!
Griffin is an alien(of course!) but a unique one in that he's described as from the 5th dimension and another planet but is now on Earth. The story is further fleshed out that he's a very unusual guy because he is multi-dimensional and can see what actions in the present can lead to probable outcomes in the future and even the past. It's really an exceptional piece of writing that many may just gloss over yet it has some much to do with what I talk about and teach people.
We're in the midst of a great shift, one that is bringing us to a higher octave of consciousness and one that we need to become aware of and nurture within ourselves. One of the components of this shift is our changing relationship with time. While we still perceive time as a line from past-present-future, in the higher vibrations of the 5th dimension we're able to work with our past and future with our presence anchored fully in the present or now. Griffin was in the now moment during the movie, yet he was able to view different aspects of the timeline and be able to advise J and K about what the outcome of their choices could be. It is a continuum that exists always. We can begin to do the same if we allow ourselves by trusting in the info we receive from our higher selves. It takes practice, commitment to making space to ask from our heart energy and then listen. You see, we're moving away from calendar time as we've known it and into Cosmic time. Cosmic time is flexible, it can be expanded and contracted by your intentions to allow you to experience anything you want for your evolution and expansion.
It's time to begin to think in terms of events you want to experience rather than the sequence you think you need to create your life events. Many people are experiencing time "speeding up", and in some real way it has! The Schumann resonance, the main vibration of our planet has changed for the first time in our recorded history, and a day isn't experienced in the same way it was, say 10 or 20 years ago. This resonance has changed our perception so now often days just fly by. This can create psychological or emotional distress as we feel that there's "not enough time" to get done all that we wish to do. This is pointing us in the direction of the higher self, which is the bridge between you and your soul energy. It is "out of time" as we know it, yet it can accomplish so much more quickly as it works in timeless space. A big part of our work is to establish a stronger connection to it so that we can embody our energy in a way that suits this higher vibration. Doing it the old way, or as we have done is likely to lead to frustration and a lot of missed opportunities.
The 5th dimension is about being in a higher level of conscious awareness that brings more of who we truly are into being. It is available to us and it is all about being able to hold a higher vibratory reality for ourselves. How do we do this? First, we must come fully into our bodies as the energy we are. This can be as simple as grounding yourself by walking barefoot on the earth for a few minutes a day, or even just having the intention to connect to yourself and the Earth. Second, we need to release all that does not serve us. This is especially in the area of beliefs, for in our beliefs so goes our reality! Our beliefs create our reality. We've outgrown a lot of beliefs individually and collectively and now it's time to let those go, thereby letting go of the excess "stuff" in our lives. Our happiness is truly our responsibility and we must also allow this for others. You can take a sheet of paper and make a belief tree for yourself. Start at the top of the page and write down a belief that you have about yourself. It could go like this: "I can't have the perfect life for me". Then below write Why? Then you'll get several answers like "I don't deserve it" or "It will take too much effort" etc. Now your going down the branches of your personal belief tree. Eventually if you keep doing this you'll arrive at a core belief. When you find it then you can challenge it and decide if it really fits for you anymore. If not, then create a ceremony to release it and replace it with something like "I am whole and perfect as I am". Then tack that new statement somewhere you can read it several times a day and take any small action to affirm that new belief. It'll take you anywhere from a few days to the maximum of a month, then you'll repattern yourself. By being successful with this your Now reality will have to reflect that core belief changing into your present life, which you'll see as all sorts of changes in your life and new ideas coming to you. You'll be like Griffin, in that you'll be able to see a past event and change it and then experience the reality shift.
I'd recommend seeing this movie so you get a better flavor for what I'm writing about. It's all about small steps. A way of working w/ the future is just taking time to visualize the outcome you'd like to have and feeling the success of your intention, then letting it go. You could do this with finding a parking space, aceing a presentation or an interview, the list goes on and on. The trick is to feel the success of your intention before it's happened, this is why it's so important to increase your ability to feel. If you're having trouble in this area it's likely a physical or emotional block- identify it and release it lovingly. Find a qualified person such as a wellness practitioner or energy healer to assist you, you won't regret the time you spend on getting in balance with yourself!
Enjoy each of your days, dream big and make small steps every day until one day you'll find yourself there. It's just inevitable because you're willing to claim the participation of more of you in you own life, and who wouldn't want that?
Blessings,
Robert

A deeper exploration of Gratitude and Grace
"After a long and protracted experiment of personal sovereignty, Robert had indeed discovered and affirmed that everything in his reality was the result of his desires and choices, no matter what degree of consciousness was applied by him. Nothing was by chance. He had gratitude for all of the experiences- happenings and non-happenings that had occurred. In that moment he had declared the experiment over. He said 'I now wish to live from my passion' and then he had begun the process of living in grace, the driving force for his choices going forward."
Today I'd like to focus on the concepts of gratitude and grace. These are both very powerful words and when used correctly will activate energies of peace, and your personal evolution. Often we don't take the time to understand the meaning behind words. Words are vibrations and have the power to impact us when used consciously. So let's go into a deeper exploration of this fascinating topic. It has great implications for living in the higher vibrations of 5th dimensional consciousness!
Often in current metaphysical and personal growth circles we are reminded to have gratitude, to express gratitude for things in our lives. This is a good thing for it focuses us to thoughts of where we are and where we've come from. There are parameters for the use of gratitude though, and in places it is better to use the term of grace instead. Why you ask? When you use gratitude it is best to use it in reference to what has occurred (past) rather than present. When you use the word gratitude in the present it sends a message to your unconscious that you accept your current life situation in its present form. This causes stagnation of your reality, which is often the opposite of how people are using gratitude. They're told "use gratitude as a way to bring blessings and an increase" when in fact it is reinforcing your current circumstances. What I'm suggesting is that you want "more" in your life: more awareness, more prosperity, more loving relationships, etc. . To do this become familiar with the concept of grace.
The definition of grace is "unmerited divine assistance given man for his regeneration or sanctification" (Webster's dictionary 9th ed.). I would say that grace is something that IS merited if it is consciously applied in one's life, for we are not separate from the Divine. Grace is a concept that's been typically applied in religious arenas, sort of apart from daily life. Grace has been seen as a static concept: "She was in a state of grace" for example. It has been sensed by people but not really embraced. Now is the time to understand and embrace this powerful energy.
About the only contact with grace I regularly had was "saying grace" before dinner with my family while growing up. I imagine that it was a blessing, a sanctification of our food. By the way, blessing your food is still a good idea! How have you experienced grace in your life?
Grace is intimately connected to our power of choice. It is the radiant energy of choice that combines with the etheric energy about us to create in a new way, one that is much easier. I explain when I teach that there are 3 types of energy: etheric, radiant and vibrant. Becoming aware of these and then starting to work to combine them puts us firmly onto the continuum of transformation which is the 5th dimension. I also explain that we have to come into balance with ourselves - to be in wellness emotionally and physically in order to connect with our feeling senses within the body to make this possible. This has been explored throughout the ages, hence the practice of yoga and all of it's branches, devotional singing and others as well. The heart is the gateway, this practice cannot come from our mind alone, and here lies the work. It is the work of self-love, relationship and it's flowering is in service. First it is service to self, then it moves into service to others directly or indirectly. Do you know the best way to teach someone? Be an example. This is indirect service and don't discount its power!
In my opening example I show what I believe is the proper use of gratitude and grace. Gratitude for the past, living in the grace of the present, also: grounded in the unknown of the future. We'll get to that, let's stay in the present for now.
Grace as I mentioned is not merely a static entity. It is an active presence brought on by your conscious choosing what you want to occur in your reality. It is you generating the radiant energy, an unseen force, through your choice and then producing it, manifesting it, manufacturing it, etc. into the vibrant energy which is your creation. You partner with these energies by listening to that steady but often small voice that is in your heart and then acting on it by choice and living it out. This is a huge step for most of us, as we've been trained in our Western society to value the mental parts of ourselves above all else. This is the way things have been, now it is time to move into the way we will be living in the coming years. It is needed, welcome it into your life. See yourself expanding beyond the belief that your are just a body and a mind. You are a fabulous energetic being with spiritual components now more available than ever before.
You know you want to express your truth and be loved for it, and you will be loved and received. Trust that it is safe. Let go of the stories in you head that say you can't be who you are or you will be rejected, punished, or even worse. That was then, this is now. Don't deny yourself, seize the opportunity. Fill your life with examples of positive role models. More are emerging all of the time. This is how we create the beauty and peace and prosperity that we all want to experience. Trust that your needs will be met. This is one of the hardest hurdles to get over, just remember "Life = Risk". To be here on Earth at this time is to want more. When you apply the formula I've mentioned using the radiant energy of grace you will be taken care of, there is no other way in the higher vibrations of the 5th dimension. There is no lack. There is a lot of creativity and joy and growth. Trust your heart, and believe and take action and it will be so for you. May you be blessed with an open heart, and may you act on its promptings, for in this is your greatest joy!
Until next time, in grace and with gratitude,
Robert

4 Things you can do with Reality
Going over some old notes today about reality that we all face I found some interesting insights. We're all trying to find ways to move in our lives in this rapidly changing environment. Here's 4 options and my thoughts on each.
At the most basic level of existence we COPE with reality. This is the 1st option. In this option we are typically in the "victim" mode, whereby the life we experience around us is overwhelming and all we can do is manage to get by. It is not wrong to be in this space, it happens to all of us that there's times when we're overloaded and we have to just go into this mode to keep from having a breakdown of some sort. Hopefully it is a brief period and after it we can move into higher vibrational choices. The problem w/ the cope mode is when we live in it on a constant basis. Doing this can wreak havoc on our emotional and physical health, further re-inforcing a state of helplessness. Remember, all of our answers are within us, so when you're in a coping mode be kind to yourself. Turn up the love for yourself. You'll give yourself a calm and centered place where you can make a better choice, one that'll move you forward.
The 2nd option is to REBEL against reality. This is a natural phase that all people go thru, typically during adolescence. It also can occur throughout life, in fact some of us have been born to this current life to be rebels, to shake up the "system" or status quo. ( I'm sure that most would agree that change in the world would be a good thing!) Rebeling can make you feel alive, it's a kind of payoff to feel that energy, that zeal or passion. However, once we reach adulthood, being a rebel can have a lot of negative consequences. Society expects us to behave in certain ways, i.e.- If you don't feel like showing up to work at the prescribed time you might risk getting fired. Thankfully some companies have changed how they utilize people thru flex-time and work from home options that make that less of an issue than it was 10 or 20 yrs ago.
It is easier to be a rebel if you're not too attached to material reality. As anyone knows, it takes energy to maintain their life. This is where "Less is more" comes in. The more you simplify, the more time you free up to explore your life instead of being a servant to your lifestyle. Rebels can be creative, inspirational, provocational, etc.. It's a useful way to attract attention to an issue. The "Occupy movement" has been the latest well-known rebel movement, drawing attention to the banking system and encouraging reform.
Most times rebelling fails because it isn't a balanced way of approaching reality. Most rebels run out of energy or followers after a while because their immediate concerns of providing for themselves comes to the forefront. It's often said that many of the rebels of the 60's and 70's turned their energy towards getting ahead in the 80's and 90's and became the "upwardly mobile yuppies".
The 3rd option is to construct your PERSONAL FRAMEWORK. This is what most of us know as "life". We grow up, train or educate ourselves for some type of work or career. We have our family and friends network that we attend to in varying degrees. We may also have a spiritual life, usually expressed thru being part of some type of religious faith. This is typically the one we were raised in, unless we employed the rebel energy previously discussed. We often form a love relationship with another and often this in turn leads to raising children and repeating the cycle once again. This personal framework works exceptionally well at keeping us involved with many things. In ancient Indian writings it's referred to as "householder" life and is considered an honorable way of pursuing life.
What's interesting is that more and more people are being challenged to move away from this personal framework due to great changes that are occurring in our society. The economic challenges of the past few years have forced many out of what they thought was stable in their life as they watched themselves losing jobs and homes and being forced to re-think how to live. Also many younger people, those I'd characterize as the Indigo and Crystal people just won't go along with life as it's been lived. They retain remembrances of life on the other side of the veil and want to bring that here too. They wish to express from their spiritual nature first, and not be limited in their creativity. These people are often extremely sensitive to energy and avoid lower vibrational situations. I suggest doing some research to see if you might have these characteristics for they are a gift indeed!
The 4th option is to CREATE FROM A PLACE OF TRUE AWARENESS. This is the Now paradigm, the flow, the 5th dimension. Many will argue that it's not necessary to go beyond the 3rd option, that that is enough. The problem with that option is that it doesn't fully take into account what magnificent creators we each are. It doesn't allow much room for exploration of spiritual dimensions of life, those are often relegated to religious activities at specific times.
So what are we needing to be aware of? First, understand that you have access to an unlimited supply of etheric energy. Now that we're at this point of development on the planet we need to start figuring out how to use this energy consciously to create. To create in this arena the focus must be higher vibrational. We use the vibration of love, taking from the etheric, combining it with our choices and then manufacturing it into what we wish to see and have in our lives. It is a place of total abundance, total prosperity in all areas, because it contains only that high vibration.
To get to this place we need to take responsibility for ourselves, our life situation and know that we each have created it all, so therefore we can choose to create something even better! Now I know it's not easy to take responsibility for EVERYTHING, surely there's someone or something I can place blame upon, isn't there? Nope!
This is a process, so be gentle with yourself. Know yourself first as a being of energy, in a body. Your body is your friend, treat it like a good friend. Practice listening to its signals, not suppressing them. Feel your feelings. It's said that each of us has a passion, and it burns like a flame in our heart, waiting to be discovered and fanned into full expression. If you can listen to your heart, be very very happy! If you can trust it's wisdom and act on it, be super excited!
If you're like me and many others, you'll have to work at it. That's good too because you have the desire and intention to find your source energy! It's likely that there will be processing to do, balancing to accomplish, so what? It's your life, and you ARE the star, writer and director of your own movie. Think of this new reality you're creating as a living organism. It's always moving and changing. Take time to dream. Take your life off of auto-pilot and get honest with yourself - are you living the life you really want for yourself or are you making excuses? Do it for you because you need to love you fully before you can really tap into the higher flow of you and create more love and joy in your life. Why not give it a try?
Blessings,
Robert
p.s. In the near future I'll be providing more info and classes on how to create this in your life. It takes practice and focus, and I want to help you with it, so stay tuned!
