Consciousness Shift - What's Going on with Everyone - Questions and Support

[ChrisL]

JackJ - Doesn't sound like a rant as much as a play by play of your life. No problem and thanks for sharing! We never know how our words can touch and transform others who resonate with our experience.

I'm essentially in agreement with your sister but I would rephrase what she said in this way: Go directly for what we want with both hands and get support if we need it. Don't let any excuses get in the way - be totally committed to our vision of life.

Life isn't so much about being happy in every moment as it is being present to what is happening. If we feel we "have" to be happy, that is going to create such stress. It reminds me of when people focus on being perfect rather than being present.

My experience has been that if I'm present, then a deep satisfaction arises - this could come from anger, sadness, laughter, anything. If we are listening to ourselves and giving ourselves what we need, instead of over-riding ourselves with limiting beliefs and negative internal chatter, then so much energy starts becoming available. Life suddenly seems more worthwhile, and our vision seems more possible to attain.

And with regards to anything that has left us (i.e. animals, partner, relatives): This might sounds silly, but if we miss the feeling that we give ourselves when we were with them, spend some time every day embodying that emotion. In your case, you could imagine being with the chicks, or you could simply embody the feelings of love/support that you held when you were with them. This really works when a couple splits up.

Let us know how it goes!

Everyone - Did you know that when you're with a baby-toddler, you can look directly at them and have a silent chat with their soul?

Typically when I do this, I'm at a grocery store or somewhere in public, and I'll gaze at the baby and start thanking them for coming back to the planet, welcoming them. The usual response is laughter, wide eyes and excitement, as if to say "Wow! Someone is talking to me!"

The other day I went to Vitamin Cottage and saw a little one in the shopping cart next to his mom. I did my usual acknowledgment, only this time, his face was as serious as an adult, and he slowly raised his right arm and pointed towards heaven with his index finger, as if to say "That's where I'm from".

I was stunned - I've done this for years, usually to the amazement of bemused parents, but I've never gotten a response like this!

Then at the checkout counter, once again I had the opportunity to send a message of acknowledgment to him - same exact response. Ha! In this case, the mom didn't see either time this happened. Incredible. The child couldn't have been older than 1.5 years old.

I'm writing this so that people can stay open to amazing experiences in a seemingly everyday mundane setting. I have one friend who is all about having magical experiences - they can be all around us if we only open to them.

You know, I'm a big fan of experiencing everything, including every emotion, just doing it more consciously. I know some people get stuck on not wanting to feel certain emotions (i.e. happiness is better than anger, joy is better than sadness), but my experience is that every emotion gets us present and takes us to the next experience. It would be like choosing only the "good" colors for a painting, or only the "good" notes for a song. Silly huh? Yet we all selectively cherry-pick what we want to feel at some point.

Thoughts about this Shift? I've been expressing them throughout this thread and other threads that I've contributed to, but essentially we're moving away from the old 3D version of reality - conflict, struggle, war, competition, seperation of body and soul - into a more unified 4th and 5th dimensional experience of unity.

How will this look? It's going to be different for each person. Right now there are some people who are tremendously acting out to get some kind of pleasure (drugs, sex, rock n roll) as a way to feel temporary relief from their conflict. Some people are projecting onto others - an extreme version of this is called war. Some people are are now cruising through life like a knife through butter (or if you're from NY, that would be butta), manifesting what they want even easier.

Advice? Same things I've been saying since Day 1 on this forum - know yourself, release any conflict, see everyone as sacred. The Summer Solstice wishes for everyone are some decent guidelines as well.

Anything specific you wanted to chat about?

LOL! I think we have a misunderstanding here...! You must've thought about my post:"'Errrr...do you actually read the threads or do you just gaze at them lovingly..?" No, by now I'm fully aware of the Shift, what's happening and why, and also the advice you give - I had my iPhone with me in the closet, which I used to connect to the internet, so I read your threads one by one. The information kept me from gnawing my wrists in the dark, because, like so many others, I had no idea what was happening to me and why. So thank you for your and every other poster's contributions on these threads! To me yours particularly read like a book. (Chris, when's the book due, btw...?!)

What I meant in my previous post was that every cosmic event causes us to (hopefully) shift as we release conflicts activated by the energy. Each event seems to 'dislodge' an overall theme which each person may or may not experience conflict over. 'The recent shift' I mentioned was the one brought about by the solstice, and I asked for your thoughts on the specific 'theme' of this one...what's your experience or how would you define the 'theme'? Personally I felt kicked in the gut from nowhere - issues completely confusing, second chakra based and unforseen rose to the surface. They were all covered with moss, of course, but yes, feeling and releasing them was the key to liberation.

I read something close to this topic in another thread...which I lost ... ...but it boils down to this - apparently every cosmic event has an astrological equivalent. Which made me wonder if these events 'activate' specific issues relating to astrology?

Also, are you (or any other poster) aware if there's a pagan/wiccan take on the ascension? All religions seem to point in one way or another to what's happening now; only the witches and wizards seem to be very quiet on the subject.

Sorry, jumping around a bit but hey, I'm on a roll here...the closet was a dark 'n lonely place!

I have had similar experiences connecting telepathically with young children's souls - and yes, it's wonderful! I connected with my son's soul while he was still in the womb...needless to say, it was an experience I simply don't have words to describe. He's just over a year now and we still 'talk' like this - when he's upset or unsettled for no apparent reason it's usually because his loved ones are, and this is a wonderful way to lovingly explain to him the what's, why's and how's of this world. It soothes him in no time. The kids being born now may have souls older than this universe, but they still enter their lives amnesic and are so grateful to have stuff explained to them!

Christa,
It's so wonderful how you communicate with your son, small children can be such amazing teachers. I friend of mine has a 4 yr. old that I baby sit sometimes, and she's the most amazing little child, I knew her when she was 2 years old, and at the time I gave her a card reading with an angel oracle deck, she actually picked her own cards, as you would do with any client who comes to you for a reading. I asked the cards what type of future work she'll be involved in and they said she's going to be a ecologist, using her higher consciousness to help save the envirnment, it was a great reading and she actually paid attention to what I said at only 2 yr's old. Now that's she's 4 she's such a delight to be around.

I think as we approach 4D and 5D, children will become wonderful entities we seek out to observe their child-like innocence, and solid connection to Source, so that we can copy them.

So thank you for posting about your son, he's very lucky to have such a wonderful mother!!

[ChrisL]

Christa - You're welcome. I'm glad if anyone gets a better understanding of life and themselves by anything that I write. ha! Both books are due out this summer - the Akashic Records book first.

I wouldn't say this particular timeframe had a particular theme as much as an overall boost of consciousness which affects everyone differently depending on what's going on for them. Any unresolved conflict is coming up and we are being invited to fully see ourselves. For some people it felt like a kick in the gut, others have felt depressed/angry, etc. I've been having some amazing dreams and epiphanies about a variety of things. Totally depends on the person.

The more off-track we are when these boosts occur (another one happening in late July 2011), the more uncomfortable we will feel. If an issue is ready to be released, we might feel a bit like popcorn - on the hotseat until we release it! If we're acknowledging ourselves and feel internally-aligned, then life can feel like we're surfing on ever higher cascading waves in which we have exactly what we want in life.

I don't know of individual astrological themes to each shift, as much as the ongoing contribution to the overall astrological theme of shifting from the Piscean to the Aquarian age. Actually, the energy that is permeating our planet right now is so intense it is overriding astrological themes, meaning our consciousness can step out of that program altogether at any moment, as well as moving beyond any other collective social consciousness (i.e. the "right" appearance, job, words, actions).

Witches and wizards tend to be quiet on a lot of things, partly for self protection, and given their history of persecution I don't blame them. When Jeshua completed the ascension project in Jerusalem, he moved with his uncle Joseph of Arimathea to Glastonbury, England to start a mystery school there. The Pagan/Wiccan/Druidic followers easily assimilated the Essene-Gnostic approach to ascension that was taught to them by Jeshua and Joseph, and propagated by a core of loyal followers. So the original teachings of ascension by Jeshua himself have been propagated in the heart of England since 2,000 years ago. And I'm sure there are other groups that have different takes on ascension as well, just like there are various Christian sects.

Very interesting short article about the landing of the Solar Logos. I think this article explains much of the intensity we're going through right now. I would also like to know ChisL's opinion of the Solar Logos, since this is rarely discussed but seem's to be having a big impact on us these days!

Yesterday I saw an Osteopath who offers Cranial Osteopathy. I had a 1 hour treatment of "cranial work". Have never had this before. I went there for help with my permanent broken neck, permanent concussion (both incurred in an accident some years ago) and ongoing neck muscle injury, as well as all the other health issues that make my life a lesson in drudgery!


Cranial Osteopathy is about balancing the body, and about returning the body to the original, perfect embryonic state that we all experienced when we were beginning to grow, with integrity and balance, in the womb.


After the treatment, I felt completely spaced out, trippy. Light-headed, but clear and balanced. I felt light in the body (instead of the usual heaviness I feel since the accident). My hearing is better, and my breathing is improved. I feel taller, lighter, almost gangly, and energised - much more positive. Also, no pain and stiffness, which is great.


I hope to return for more treatments. I highly recommend Cranial Osteopathy for anyone who feels they are out of balance or in need or realignment with the self.



Re. talking silently to babies'/toddlers' souls. I've been doing this for ages, with animals I pass on the street. They usually love it, and they usually do have that reaction of surprise, as if no one else had ever bothered to talk to them "in the mind". I never thought to try it with small kids. Thanks for the suggestion, Chris!

[ChrisL]

PreciousJewel - Babies/toddlers, animals, trees - when we open up to a more expansive perspective of consciousness, which is more about our willingness than anything else, we start getting a St Francis type of experience, where we can actively communicate with all kinds of beings! One scientist/mystic that had an active life doing things like this, which he documented in various books, was Immanuel Swedenborg, who would see human spirits, devic and angelic beings, even visiting the various astral realms that we would call heaven and hell.

AngelPsychic - A logos is a composite being (an enjoining of souls). The Earth Christ Logos is a composite being which allows for souls to be born into physical bodies on Earth - like the doorway for souls if you will.

I haven't seen anything in the Records about the landing of a Sun Logos that is shifting our awareness, although we do have 12 Logos and a Solar Celestial Deity in our solar system.

Waves of energy emanate out from the Center of Creation. By the time they reach Earth, the bigger ones can last 1,000 years, and some last only moments. We are currently in the middle of a 1,000 thick energy wave that is transforming our consciousness, with 2012 being the center point. When this type of energy excites our consciousness, we tend to go through a Renaissance type of experience, which started happening about 500 years ago.

All the beings within our solar system is also getting the extra boost of consciousness right now, including beings in sun and other planets.

I have been in a bad, bad black hole lately. I can see a lot of my life clearly for the first time, but it's not pretty and sometimes I feel like I can do nothing but cry all night from frustration. I literally am up all night chewing on life questions. I accepted responsibility for financial and bureaucratic suck and have now moved on to love/family which has me in an even worse state. Also, very strange/unpleasant head sensations... whooshing, vertigo. Reminds me of SSRI withdrawal.

I am accepting respnsibility but losing faith.

[ChrisL]

Pyrogen - Thanks for sharing, cause you never know how many people are going through the same thing and need someone to relate to. I had the same head/body sensations last fall - felt like I was going to fall and/or that my reality was shifting. A couple times I found myself in a shared reality - this life and another life happening at the same time. Only lasted for a few seconds but that was enough for an interesting experience. Usually I have to be in very deep meditation or accessing the Records to get that type of experience.

At first it was uncomfortable, but then I would just stop whatever I was doing and just be present with it. It would happen at any moment, but it persisted on and off for about 3 months for me. I'm feeling more balanced now and haven't had that type of experience since then. To me it's just part of the shift that we're undergoing.

Feel free to share more here or drop me a pm if you want some private support.

Everyone - Having shared the above, if we're having reality altering experiences happen, it doesn't mean that if we're chemically imbalanced (ie. schizophrenia), that we should stop taking medication. Some people really do need medications to have a stable life. If your experiences render you unable to function, then see a doctor.

It can be a daunting task to look so directly at ourselves, so I want to encourage everyone to get support and not try to move through this alone. Written support like forums can be helpful, but please get actual human help if anything feels like it is too overwhelming.

If you need to talk Pyrogen, my PM is also open. Big scary holes can be hard to crawl out of alone.

Thank you so much for this post! I actually just mentioned this topic to the woman I read to tonight. There is so much "electric" activity going on... I've just opened up to this but i was "shifted" last year. I can now recognize what happened and how it happened. I didn't know I was shifted though. I was actually given very powerful messages of what my gift was, how it was going to affect others, and a few prayers to say that will start attracting people that need my "help". Well, I was hospitalized within a month. It was the most overwhelming experience and I would hate to see anyone go through that! I actually closed my heart and blocked all emotion for a year. I've just recently opened back up to the idea of using my gifts and opening myself to it. Reading the first 2 posts on this thread allowed me to see what happened when I was shifted.

Can anyone be a shifter? Is it something that just comes along with being attuned to the higher powers? Is it our Spirit Guides that are giving us the message on who to attune and who to keep grounded to the physical world? I'm worried that there are people out there that are shifting people that aren't ready, won't understand what is happening and will eventually go crazy... like me. I don't know much about spirit guides yet because I haven't read up on it.. but I think I'd rather gain my own knowledge of them with my intuition and experience. Mine happen to be very playful right now. They are handling me with kid gloves... making me chuckle with the things they are saying and doing. Like turning on my TV which has happened the last 3 days. I'm curious to see if it stops now because I'm telling my "secret". That's just a thought I had... is that true? So, if we are getting these messages from the spirit guides to shift them can we trust this wholeheartedly? Is there a chance they are "messing" with us or the other person? I really, truly believe there is a connection between mental illness and psychic abilities. I lived my entire life thinking I was bi polar. Of course I'm bi-polar! I'm carrying the emotions of everyone around me... that is until I knew how to shield it.

Are there courses on how to properly prepare someone for shifting another person? I think I might have had a similar experience as last year if I didn't find this forum. But not everyone is as tech savvy or motivated to find things.. especially in that state of "fantasyland".

Does anyone share my views on this?

[Summerbreeze]

Because now is much conflict coming up... how could someone handle feeling "shame" ?

[jnephew]

I'm sorry SummerBreeze. I'm not sure I understand. Conflict and Shame? Is it conflict and shame with ourselves or others?

Don't have a clear, general definition of conflict, but would be for me here the overall term for misalignements with your true self.

Shame is something that influences me from another lifetime, so this would be a conflict for me to resolve.

~sb

[elucidate]

I've had some shame come up recently as well.

[jnephew]

Oh that makes so much sense now, thanks! Here's my story... never know if it's something that will resonate with someone else.

I'm empathic and clairsentient in my spirit. Always have been. My physical body/mind is a realist. I see things black and white. I know if you are bad or good. Lying or telling the truth. There are only two choices. What happens when your "spiritual self" takes on the emotions and energies of the bad person that is sitting to the left of you. You suddenly have these feelings of anger, despair and sometimes worse. (Criminal minds is another thing I want to tap into eventually).

Then you have the Clairsentients that take on the other person's pain and anguish as their own. So imagine you're in a relationship that you think is going great... You actually are responsible for the other person's happiness because you are either changing yourself to be the person they need or you are taking their pain away. Looking back I have done that in every single relationship subconsciously. I always went for the guy I had to "fix". I think it's called co dependence? But that's just me. I am at my best when I am taking another person's pain away...

Another theory I have is that we all chose to come back for a purpose. I've been through a lot.. things that I would never wish on anyone. But I think I chose to go through that so I could develop the empathy for others. So, I'm imagining that if you haven't fulfilled all of your "goals" in this lifetime, you still have lessons to learn. I'm feeling like that relates to greed, abuse, weakness, powerfulness, gluttony, etc. One of my thoughts is that if we shift before we are done learning these lessons that is when the shift is too overwhelming. I really feel like I finished my lessons within the past year. I had this overwhelming urgency to gain empowerment and strength. Something I've been lacking my entire life. I stood up to two of my attackers this year and gave empathy to the one other person that hurt me because I could feel the pain hurting me caused him. It was such a cleansing experience.

What has been helping me make sense of this is tuning into my spirit guides for guidance BUT not giving them the power to dictate what my next move is. Each one of us receives messages in a different medium. so if your sitting back waiting to "hear" something and you dont, don't get discouraged. Maybe you were so focused on hearing that message that you missed the vision that presents itself.

I am not sure if this makes sense to anyone else but me??? I'm still "new" to this lifetime so I'm still learning...

[Summerbreeze]

Thanks for sharing your story, it helps a lot in the beginning of shifting to talk about that stuff, good would be a person that is going through similar things, so you have a lot to give each other, without missing the point of empowering of course.
The thing that never ceases to be interesting to me is how you shift so often in many ways and shift your relationship with your reality and everything in it.

Spirit Guides can have a tough time communicating with us, when we don't believe or understand what they are telling us, or even don't hear them at all.

Empathy is likely to be a challenge if we have for oursleves things to go through, wrote about my POV in the other thread.

Would recommend everyone being patient with ascension, it is not as much a path as a choice. Far better to concentrate on what works and what doesn't work and sort out, so you can get what you 'need'.

~sb

[ChrisL]

Jnephew - You're welcome. Take a look at the rest of the thread and a lot of your questions will already be answered. I'll give some brief answers here also.

Everyone is being affected to varying degrees. It's less about being attuned to higher powers and more about releasing conflict and allowing ourselves to be fully grounded and natural. Sometimes we're getting messages from our Spirit Guides, other times it's just us allowing ourselves to finally be ourselves, and sometimes it's tapping into our intuition.

There are a variety of reasons people can go crazy. People can go crazy if they try to strip away their social conditioning quicker than they are ready - this can happen more when we try to do everything by ourselves which is why having a guide of some kind can be really helpful. Also we can have emotional/chemical imbalances that can cause things like bipolar disorder (i.e. manic/depression) or schizophrenia, which unless properly treated, will give us all kinds of experiences we think are real. But the average person has no reason to fear going crazy with the shift that I'm talking about. If we have a lot of conflict, we will simply be unaware of what is happening. Some people are surely feeling like they are going kind of crazy as they attempt to release all kinds of conflict.

There is no chance that our guides are messing with us or other people. They are here to help us fully be ourselves. If we're hearing voices that are telling us to do strange things, like hurt ourselves or others, then of course some kind of imbalance is happening with us.

I have seen a connection with trauma and intuitive abilities, for example, being beaten as a child and then needing to be psychic to feel if it's okay to be around that particular parent. It can be a survival skill. I had this going on and then had to deal with releasing my own conflict so that I could have more accurate intuition and not just my spin on things based on unresolved wounds. I have also seen some people who are considered to be mentally ill, but who are actually going through a transformation crisis and need an intervention from someone who knows what's going on. This happens when we start moving beyond social consciousness but don't have any roadmap or guide to help us.

And all too often I've seen people who are truly mentally ill, that need to be on medication, that think they are having an amazing experience but actually need help. I knew one girl who thought that she was Jesus, and was going from hotel to hotel, skipping out on the bill and doing all kinds of strange, ungrounded things. She had a history of schizophrenia in her family, and once she got to the doctor's office and got some medication she could see more clearly. Another guy I know contacted me because he had "too much energy", but didn't want to go to the doctor's office because he didn't want it to end. He was moving from place to place, couldn't hold a job, and was always talking really fast. Everywhere he goes he stays for a little while, then complains that people don't understand him. He thinks he's going through a transformation, but he really needs medication.

One of the best preparations is to know yourself and release any internal conflict - using any methods/techniques that work for you.

Summerbreeze and Elucidate - Shame comes up when we are judging ourselves. I just worked with a client yesterday who was sexually abused several times, and based on the wounding with her parents also, still felt shame like it was "her fault" she was attacked.

Sometimes we can have shame when we over-rode ourselves and did something we knew wasn't altogether right for the moment (i.e. disempowering, hurtful, etc). Other times, we can have misplaced shame like the example of the client I just spoke about, where we have some kind of judgment about ourselves. In any event, it is a judgment about the past.

There are several ideas that can help. When I've felt shame, I have actually connected with the person who was involved and talked with them, realizing that even while I'm apologizing, I was doing it so I could release the shame, not just to make them feel better. If the person is no longer alive or we don't want actually contact with them, doing a completion ritual of some kind can be very helpful. Saying out loud all the things that we want to say.

Self forgiveness is really the key here. Anything that we need to do/say to let ourselves change, to accept ourselves now, is essential. And ultimately, if everything is sacred and everyone is divine, then that includes us. We are more than our past actions.

[jnephew]

Thanks Chris for your completely objective advice. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind looking at some of my posts to see if you can decipher what is going on with me. I'd be happy to compenste you for a "reading". Or anyone on this thread for that matter.

That is probably my one and only hurdle left (that I didn't realize until you posted this). I thought I was done.. clearly not because I got very emotional reading it. I've decided to stay on my medication because when I went off it last year at the same time as my awakening it was too intense. I think that it is keeping me calmer this time, more clear about my intuition and understanding what I did wrong last year. It's amazing what one year of self discovery can do...

I'm considering going to a professional dr for help too. I did mention this to my psychiatrist at the hospital last year which resulted in more medication even though I knew what would work for me. They refused to give it to me. It's not exactly the standard drug used for bi polar. the ones that are used for bi polar actually bring me into a comotose state. The dr. in the hospital would not release me until I pretended that they worked. I went to my real psych dr. and they put me back on what I wanted, I explained what happened and they were very supportive. My only issue is that I am on the road 90% of the time. I'm a software consultant and only go home on average 1-2 weekends a month. It's hard for me to have a regular dr. My psych has agreed to make special exceptions for me like late night appointments and we even talked about phone calls which he never does. I can feel that he wants to help and understand me. He doesn't understand how a person dx with bi polar can be so grounded. I've held steady jobs, tripled my income in 3 years after my first awakening and hospital stay. It's just been a crazy transformation. I think I have myself protected enough to filter the negative messages now.

What I meant by the spirit guides messing with us is due to my experience last year. I don't understand how I could have been "woken up" at such a vulnerable time. I'm thinking as I type this that it was another life lesson I had to learn? I was wondering if the person that woke me up knew that it was the wrong time? Maybe she saw the gift I had and "thought" it was time. Knowing what I know now, I am going to be VERY careful introducing people to the gifts. I would like to ease them in by doing counseling...

Blessings,
J

Everyone is being affected to varying degrees. It's less about being attuned to higher powers and more about releasing conflict and allowing ourselves to be fully grounded and natural. Sometimes we're getting messages from our Spirit Guides, other times it's just us allowing ourselves to finally be ourselves, and sometimes it's tapping into our intuition.

There are a variety of reasons people can go crazy. People can go crazy if they try to strip away their social conditioning quicker than they are ready - this can happen more when we try to do everything by ourselves which is why having a guide of some kind can be really helpful. Also we can have emotional/chemical imbalances that can cause things like bipolar disorder (i.e. manic/depression) or schizophrenia, which unless properly treated, will give us all kinds of experiences we think are real. But the average person has no reason to fear going crazy with the shift that I'm talking about. If we have a lot of conflict, we will simply be unaware of what is happening. Some people are surely feeling like they are going kind of crazy as they attempt to release all kinds of conflict.

There is no chance that our guides are messing with us or other people. They are here to help us fully be ourselves. If we're hearing voices that are telling us to do strange things, like hurt ourselves or others, then of course some kind of imbalance is happening with us.

I have seen a connection with trauma and intuitive abilities, for example, being beaten as a child and then needing to be psychic to feel if it's okay to be around that particular parent. It can be a survival skill. I had this going on and then had to deal with releasing my own conflict so that I could have more accurate intuition and not just my spin on things based on unresolved wounds. I have also seen some people who are considered to be mentally ill, but who are actually going through a transformation crisis and need an intervention from someone who knows what's going on. This happens when we start moving beyond social consciousness but don't have any roadmap or guide to help us.

And all too often I've seen people who are truly mentally ill, that need to be on medication, that think they are having an amazing experience but actually need help. I knew one girl who thought that she was Jesus, and was going from hotel to hotel, skipping out on the bill and doing all kinds of strange, ungrounded things. She had a history of schizophrenia in her family, and once she got to the doctor's office and got some medication she could see more clearly. Another guy I know contacted me because he had "too much energy", but didn't want to go to the doctor's office because he didn't want it to end. He was moving from place to place, couldn't hold a job, and was always talking really fast. Everywhere he goes he stays for a little while, then complains that people don't understand him. He thinks he's going through a transformation, but he really needs medication.

One of the best preparations is to know yourself and release any internal conflict - using any methods/techniques that work for you.

Summerbreeze and Elucidate - Shame comes up when we are judging ourselves. I just worked with a client yesterday who was sexually abused several times, and based on the wounding with her parents also, still felt shame like it was "her fault" she was attacked.

Sometimes we can have shame when we over-rode ourselves and did something we knew wasn't altogether right for the moment (i.e. disempowering, hurtful, etc). Other times, we can have misplaced shame like the example of the client I just spoke about, where we have some kind of judgment about ourselves. In any event, it is a judgment about the past.

There are several ideas that can help. When I've felt shame, I have actually connected with the person who was involved and talked with them, realizing that even while I'm apologizing, I was doing it so I could release the shame, not just to make them feel better. If the person is no longer alive or we don't want actually contact with them, doing a completion ritual of some kind can be very helpful. Saying out loud all the things that we want to say.

Self forgiveness is really the key here. Anything that we need to do/say to let ourselves change, to accept ourselves now, is essential. And ultimately, if everything is sacred and everyone is divine, then that includes us. We are more than our past actions.

J - You're very welcome. The fact that you can see that there is something to work on, indicates that you're at least conscious enough to see yourself and make some grounded decisions. Kudos to you - that's a great sign. There are plenty of people right now who are having troubles doing this exact thing.

If you want to chat more in depth, just send me a pm or simply call me and we can talk.

We're not really here to learn life lessons, as much as experience ourselves more fully. As we tire of going back and forth from pain to pleasure, we will look for ways to have a more consciously progressive experience of life. I'm not going to guess at someone else's motives, but just say that this experience of transformation can be full of joy and wonder if we let ourselves naturally grow. If it happens too quickly, we can have all kinds of things happen.

It's like a true kundalini experience when we become enlightened and attuned our bodies for it, versus rushing the experience before we are ready. I know several people that have asked for shakti-pa - having a mystic raise their kundalini so that they could awaken. If our body is unprepared for the sudden rush of energy, if we still have internal conflict that is blocking our energy, then all kinds of things can happen. In my friends case, his energy was blocked at his throat chakra (he couldn't ask for what he wanted), so when he received shakti-pa, the energy that was moving up his spine, got blocked at his throat, so it went out his arms - subsequently dislocating his shoulders. When I forced my chi to move upward before I was ready, I had a block in my 6th chakra, which led to an epileptic seizure. In the words of Monty Python - "I got better".

Being a solicited support is always the way to go - not offering anything that isn't invited on some level. And it can be a fine art to ascertain what is appropriately helpful in the moment, especially if we have a need to be right about something or get caught up in the excitement of the moment. In a forum like this, one answer that hits the nail on the head for one person, can totally not be what is needed for someone else. So even in answering a question here, I'm aware that a variety of people with differrent perspectives will be reading and looking for their answer.

That being said, being direct with whomever I'm with is the way that I feel the most appropriately helpful.

Thankyou Chris, this was so, so helpful for me right now.

I need to apologize to my father but I don't really want to talk to him right now, and have told him so. This sounds like something I could do to help myself release those feelings in a way that will ensure I can validate my feelings and not be invalidated, as is the case when I try and express stuff to my father.

It's been causing me a lot of pain and turmoil and I want to be free from this conflict once and for all. It's holding me back when I can feel my energy has changed and shifted so much in just the last few days, since my 'exorcism" with rosine.

What you said in your last paragraph here felt particularly freeing for me.

Wow, another nice read.

I have a question. At the beginning of summer I was having strange random headaches pop out of nowhere. I would be fine 1 moment, and then the next a headache would come for a couple seconds then wear off. Minutes/hours later it would come back again, and wear off.

Now, in july I'm experiencing something different. I feel this kind of, how do I say this, vibrational/pulsating wave go through my head at times. The headaches have gone, and have been replaced by this wave. It's like I feel this energy of vibration pass through my brain. I grab my head at times because of it's sheer magnitude every now and them. Some times it causes me to wobble over like I'm about to fall. Maybe the vibration from my heart might have increased and is affecting my brain? I don't know, but I randomly feel some pulsating wave go through my brain, and this has never happened to me before.

Also, the silent noise in my ear has increased drastically. By silent noise I mean the little static like frequency we hear when there is no other noise around. You know how when you are in a completely quiet place, that little almost high pitched sound you hear? Yeah. I'm not sure if it's called silent noise, lol, but that's what I refer to it as. Anyway the silent noise in my ears is constantly on a very loud volume. Even when there's surrounding noise.

Both these things started in July. It almost kept me awake last night cause it was so loud. It was as if I had earphones on and was listening to low frequency sounds. Add that to the fact that I was also feeling the vibrational wave/energy pass through my brain again, I'm lucky i wasn't awake all night.

This has never happened to me before. Are these signs of the increased consciousness, or do I really need to see a doctor quick lol?

Besides the internal complications I'm having, this june/july have really brought great changes for me.

My parents thought I joking when I told them I don't want to return back to school to finish engineering, and that I'd rather move to NY to act/script write cause that's what I really want to do. The only reason why I got into engineering in the first place was because I had to major in something they liked or else they wouldn't pay for it. My college experience turned out to be the worst 3 1/2 years of my life, and I wanted to just die. My intuition kicked into overdrive my senior year and said "you've had enough, this is killing you. Drop out now", and so I did.

1 1/2yrs later after not being in school, I've gone through so much thinking/evolving, and my parents say they want me back in school to finish mech. engineering by August. I played along quietly, acting like there was a chance that I would go back. Deep down knowing that I'm not going back, and was simply trying to buy time cause I was thinking of how i would move to NY. I told them "No" months ago, but they didn't think I was serious and that I'd eventually bend to their will and go back.

Well my intuition has been telling me to tell them what is really on my mind, and that i should stop hiding it from them. I agreed and decided it was time. About 2 weeks ago they called, they aren't currently in the US, and I told them that I'm not returning back for good, and that my plan of going to NY is what I'm going to do. They said if I don't go back in August, when school starts, then I should be gone from the house. I wasn't phased 1 bit. I was planning on getting a job to make some money so that I could leave. Unfortunately no employer called back. Even though I have very little money, I've never been happier in my life. I have this gut feeling that everything is going to be okay, that I'll find my way. I just need to go to get away from "this area" I've been stuck. Everyone, my brothers/sisters/parents/uncles/aunts/entire family tree is always trying to give me that "use logic" talk, and I simply don't listen. I would rather be shot dead tomorrow than do what is expected of me because that's what I'm "supposed" to do, and what they deem at the "most logical" approach. Screw that, I am my own self, and will have no one tell me what to do any longer. Lol, my parents know I have very little money, and probably thought by telling by giving me the ultimatum, school next month or leave, that I'd cower and submit. Lol, I'm the wrong person to try that on, cause I will not bend no matter what. I quickly told them, "So be it. I'll be out next month".

My parents are also very rude to me. They don't treat me like an adult, and this infuriates me like no other. They think because they are older they are automatically wiser, and they actually tell me that "they are right, and I'm always wrong no matter the issue" simply because they are older. Lol, what a bunch of BS. I've had such a huge fallout out with them ever since I dropped out of college. I dropped out DEC 2009, and for the past 1 1/2 yrs it's been constant pointing fingers and arguing back and forth, with the finale airing last 2 weeks lol. Initially I wasn't going to talk to them. I had forgiven them, but I still didn't want to interact with them because of how negative and demeaning they are, but something, my inner voice, told me to give them another chance. I kept saying "no, no, it's over. I'm not going to talk to them ever again and I'm just going to up and leave", but this very faint voice just kept saying "give them 1 more chance, and if they come off in their usual negative fashion then your reason for not associating with them any longer would make sense, but just give them 1 more chance". I've given in, and if they call to talk to me again, I'll pick up, but once the negativity starts, the phone will go off forsure.

It has been a great magical journey so to speak. With this August, my move out date, bringing about a new positive change, finally, in my life. Lol now all I have left if to find out what I need to do to make my dreams happen with the little I have. I guess that's part of this thing we call "Our life's journey" huh .

Also, I read something about 11-11-11 being another important date for a rise in consciousness. Is this true?

[ChrisL]

Elucidate - You're very welcome. Hopefully the last paragraph resonates with many of us.

Soujiro - Thanks for sharing so much in here!

Last year for a few months, I had a series of moments where it felt like I was "blinking" in and out of consciousness. Sometimes it would feel like I needed to pass out/sleep, and other times it simply felt like I was expanding my consciousness to include more of the moment. I've never had that kind of experience in my normal life - usually I would have to be meditating deeply.

Your experience could be something like that - but that doesn't preclude getting checked out by a doctor just in case!

The next major energy shift is happening at the end of July - beginning of August. I haven't seen anything in the Records about a major shift on 11/11, but we don't need a calendar to have a transformation - we can do it anytime.

[High The Memory]

I just want to say this through tears, tears of joy that overcame me as I was reading through this thread.

For all my life as a student, I have had no trouble doing the work that's been assigned to me. But this past spring, I started having trouble doing it all. My mind shifted from these "proper" sort of things, to the things that I never believed could enter my life, and I thought I had issues that carried with me all my life, that were finally coming back to bite me. I came very close to seeking professional help, but I made it through, just barely. Summer came about, and I realized that school was just no longer something for me, that the kind of work I was doing just didn't sit well with me anymore. That was my feeling to the very core, even though it seemed so strange that I would suddenly start to feel this way.

But this summer, I've been away from that, I've been relaxing, and looking into myself, trying to figure out what my true purpose in life is. And even though I've experienced this kind of freedom in summers past, I have never felt so free. Conflicts of mine have slowly been eroding away, besides a select few that I've held onto... until this point, where I've started to make a conscious effort to let them go.

Reading through this thread, I'm seeing so many stories that seem to match what I've been feeling, and recently, I've just been feeling it.

It's everywhere. Deja-vu's, things that just don't quite make sense, I'm recalling them now and I have this wonderful feeling that everything is shifting, changing, and coming together. Even the music I've been drawn to lately, it speaks to this—I'll discover some music, love the sound of it, and when I go to look at the lyrics, it's uncanny. Just now, as I was reading a post by ChrisL that advises us to live as if each day were our last, I realize I'm listening to a song that talks about new beginnings and says that it's "time to start living like just before we die." It could just be coincidence, but I'm having trouble seeing anything as coincidence these days.

The topic of this thread, I think, is the answer to why all of this has been happening, and I'm excited. Really excited, and day by day, feeling more and more ready to welcome new amazing things with open arms.

[ChrisL]

High - I want to thank you for sharing so much. It's not often I read a post that sounds so sincere and grateful. And now that you've shared, perhaps others can also relate to what you're going through as well. Thanks for being here and contributing, not just in this forum but on the planet.
