The following post is a response by Higher Self to questions about Lucid Dreaming and how to “wake up” in dreams. The practice of Lucid Dreaming seems to be greatly enhanced by the moment to moment awareness during the waking consciousness of just “Being,” releasing attachments to habits of thoughts that keep the mind in constant states of agitation and distraction.

Ancient Memories

Every night in sleep you easily slip into the land of dreams where the body and mind naturally remains for the duration of the sleep cycle. There is no struggling to achieve that state. There is a natural shift in consciousness from the waking to sleep states.

When you are able to consciously enter those realms then you will know the power to also manifest what you desire; for just as you are able to consciously create in dreams, you will also learn to create in waking consciousness. The normal tendency is to fall asleep without awareness and thus miss out on the opportunities that are presented to you each night. But once in awhile you do awaken in dreams, glimpsing the beauty and lights of vast worlds within.

Yes, the beauty and freedom is indescribable. That type of awareness seems to come as gifts and not something I can will to happen.

You will find it more and more a natural state as you learn to just observe with deep awareness during waking moments. It’s not something to be forced. Rather, this state of awareness requires a deeply relaxed body and mind.

As you learn to “awaken” during your waking moments the more you will find yourself “conscious” during times of sleep. This is not to say that your normal waking consciousness will be active. Rather, awareness of deep states of peace will be experienced. Most of your waking moments are more like a kind of sleepwalking, guided mainly by unconscious habits of mind. As you bring awareness into your life you will find yourself less and less governed by habits, and more and more attuned to the consciousness of the natural state of Bliss within.

Observe your thoughts. As you watch without attaching to them you find that the habitual flow of thought-forms begin to fall away as the consciousness of the moment opens up, like the blossoming of flowers. As you continue to watch you will find that the moments of stillness and freedom from thoughts gets longer and longer. Just continue to observe. The mind then glimpses the Silent Observer behind the million galaxies of thoughts, free from the incessant march of mental phantoms that haunt us in waking moments as well as during sleep!

Habits of mind can be great tormentors as they include habitual fear thoughts and memories. Like a broken record they go on and on, constantly replaying mental scripts that dredge up deeply engrained habits of feeling and thinking. But again,…awaken in the dream! Breathe deeply, exhale and relax into the consciousness of the moment. In the awareness of the moment, thoughts have no “time” to attach to, for thoughts need time to have meaning. In the exquisite moment, there is not a hairbreadth of time…there is only the consciousness of “Being.”

Do this now: just simply “Be,” without thinking, just observing and feeling. As you release thoughts along with any desires to control or attach to them, a deep letting go occurs, a kind of opening up happens, allowing room for Divine Consciousness to step in.

For those of you who have gotten your arses kicked and dragged up and down Life’s thoroughfares (probably all of you, to one degree or another), the following post is Higher Self’s response to questions about learning how to deal with the mind that gets so caught up in distractions and habits of fears and doubts. This post speaks to issues of mindfulness along with some exercises that help to develop sensitivity to and awareness of subtlety and stillness.

Our shaking you up is never meant to frighten or harm you. On the contrary, we only wish to awaken you to your own power and light. The deeper your slumber, the harder we sometimes need to shake. The energy patterns of your consciousness have ossified into certain ways of thinking and believing that have become narrow and limiting. We are here to help change the patterns of thoughts and beliefs that no longer serve you. Please understand that there are other dimensions of consciousness that are far more in line with the gifts and talents you are meant to express in life. We want to awaken you once and for all time!

The momentum of your thoughts have been going down certain pathways for so long that it is difficult for you to switch tracks, or to rather do away with the limitations of tracks altogether. Learn to release the patterns of thinking that push you down alleys of narrowness. Break out of the straight jacket of small thinking! Awaken now and breathe in your own power. Believe in and receive the gifts of Freedom! If you continue seeking in narrow avenues of what you believe is required for survival in the world, then you cut yourself off from the infinite resources and powers that are available. Stop force-fitting yourself into work that does not make use of your gifts and that only perpetuates the nightmare of separation and delusion.

Ok, Ok, I know I’m to make use of my strengths and talents, to create from the depths of my soul! The challenge is in not getting stuck, in moving forward while being receptive to the voice of Spirit. But once again, I seem to fall back into patterns of doing work that serves only the task of helping to pay the bills but which do not serve the wider purpose of expanding beyond the small shell of limited thinking…I want to express the gifts of the heart that wish to be given birth in the world! What is going on with this? I’m listening and creating, but somehow I’m not getting the message clearly about manifesting.

The answers are with you now in the very environment. You are getting in your own way! The logical mind wants to continue making sense of the world. This is fine and necessary to a certain degree, but you can also allow it to rest as you become aware of the more subtle layers of consciousness that can bring forth the very atoms of creation to manifest for you! You won’t lose your mind or balance!

Listen and feel for what is behind the thoughts. There is so much that is there, but it gets lost in the busy-ness of mental thought forms and “chatter” that dictate how you are to act, think and survive in the world. Don’t get sidetracked or distracted while partaking in the dance of “making a living.” So much more is available in the realms of Consciousness. There is unimaginable power in calm awareness! Allow yourself access to this energy and just watch how quickly circumstances change!

As your body and thoughts slow down, and as you continue to just observe the rise and fall of the breath, a wider experience of your Self comes into the awareness, a Self that is unencumbered by the restraints of time and bodily limitations. In the consciousness of Self, the wider perspective allows for a broader sense of the energy field that you are. The energy does not get stuck or stagnant and can be used to propel your intentions and dreams forward.

Allow yourself to experience the fullness of breath and the vastness of a consciousness that is not limited or attached to one place or object of thought. Wherever you are, just observe the thoughts with eyes closed or open; it does not matter. Calmly allow them to be released without attaching yourself or creating further “stories” around them. Feel the vastness of a consciousness that is calm and at peace.

Calm awareness is not a state of mindlessness; and neither is it a state of boredom. It is, rather, a state of absorption in the field of mindfulness that is connected intimately with the consciousness of the Great Spirit, beyond the narrow perceptions and distractions of bodily attachments.

Sit quietly and observe. Feel the vibrations of thoughts and feelings as they play across the screen of awareness. Take note of how thoughts come and go and allow them to do so without struggling or fighting to keep them at bay. Feel the backdrop of consciousness wherein thoughts seem to rise and fall. In apprehending subtlety, intimations of the Eternal Observer can be felt!

The above exercise in mindfulness is a play of stillness, a dance of the most subtle awareness, wherein you, the observer, begin to apprehend the Grand Observer behind the curtain of consciousness. It is a wide embrace of the cosmic identity that holds the entire Universe in its folds of Divine Love!

Hawk Feather I found on my balcony

For the past two weeks or so, while out for my walk, bird feathers have unexpectedly shown up along the way. Mostly crow feathers, but over the weekend, while walking along the beach, I found two pelican feathers, beautiful plumes 14 inches long!

Pelican feathers found at beach

Whenever certain patterns repeat themselves to me that are somewhat out of the ordinary, I take notice and listen on the inside that I might feel the vibration of what is calling my attention over and over again.

Bird energy seems to be calling to me, and recently I started to collect the feathers as they seem to fairly shout for my attention. Yesterday, I saw a blue heron, the second one within a couple months time. They are stately birds, breathtakingly beautiful!

Dear Higher Self, why the special preponderance of feathers and special birds at this time?

The feathers are like sensitive wands that can be used to gather the finest impressions of vibrations around and within your body. Just as birds are extremely sensitive creatures, their feathers also pick up the most subtle of energies. As you hold them in your hands, they can be used to not only gather energy but to also project thoughts and intentions. The feathers are showing up as a way to show the pathways of inner flight. They come to you unbidden and unlooked for and yet arouse a sense of awe and reverence for the wonder that they represent. Like the noble Blue Heron, learn to be still and receive the vibrations of all elements of Nature.

Beauty enfolds you in Her wings of dark mystery! Receive and listen to the song of Her flight within your heart. Can you hear the crow in the distant reaches of your imagination? Listen to her now, feisty and playful; versed in the art of trickery and transformation. She is placing feathers upon your path that you might understand the mystical path of vibration and song that you walk. Listen to and experience the connection that you have with all the Earth’s elements! They convey so much to anyone who would take the time to listen. Listen not only with your ears but with all the sensitivity of your finest awareness.

You are surrounded by an aura of light and sound, like feathers dancing in dynamic interplay with the body. And the body is far larger than what the limiting thoughts believe it to be. The eyes “see” it circumscribed and limited by a certain form that you have grown accustomed to; and yet if you close the eyes and “feel” deeply within, it is easy to experience consciousness far beyond the boundaries of physical form. You are that energy, expanded through all space!

As you go for a walk, or sit at your desk, feel the energy component of your consciousness, far beyond the form of the body. How wonderful it is to feel that sense of expansion, as though you had long feathers of light touching and connecting with all Nature! No longer circumscribed by limiting thoughts, you can float with the clouds or soar with the birds through the freedom of skies, unencumbered by beliefs of limitation!

Isn’t it time for another ’60s-like Peace and Love movement? I’m reminded of the popular song from 1970: Edwin Starr’s “War,” that helped galvanize a nation reeling from the Vietnam War:

“War, what is it good for–absolutely nothing!”

The grass roots movement from those days seemed to stem from the daily “body count” and graphic pictures of maimed bodies, not only of our nations’ young but also the innocent children of those we fought against, the “collateral victims” that gave faces to an “enemy” we knew little about and understood even less.

A generation later, once again embroiled in a war that harkens to what is most brutal and degrading and that serves only to awaken primordial blood-lust, this time the TV Networks and dispensers of national news mysteriously omit the daily body count and graphic depictions of wars’ insanity. “Out of view, out of mind.” Like frogs slowly being boiled alive, we have forgotten that the heat is on, that in defaulting to violence as “last measure” we relegate Love to powerlessness, to “no measure.” We light the match that is used to boil the water that we sit in.

It is time (and time long overdue) to change the direction of hatred and anger, to allow Love’s frequency and power to change the course of humanity’s incessant river of blood. Love is not a weak response! It can stop anger in its tracks and can even shoot down missiles of hatred from the skies! We just haven’t given it a place in our global hearts.

A wise man once said, “To give God second place is to give Him/Her no place at all…” I believe this to be true regarding Love. That nations must resort to war even as a last measure may seem at times logical and even moral, but it also shows a national consciousness that has not connected truly with Love, with its own heartbeat. It shows a nation unwilling to explore beyond its own fears and loathing, to apprehend a resource far beyond the powers of bombs and missiles.

Love is not a weak sentiment, nor does it mean an absence of anger or hatred in human consciousness. It is, rather, a transmutation of those qualities by the shear act of observing their energies within the body and mind without creating mental stories and pictures that add fuel and fire to their power. Allowing no place to “catch fire” within, the conflagration of anger and hatred ceases to burn.

This post is not a call to rally “against” the war, or to fight “against” perceived atrocities and injustices within and outside our borders, but to rather embrace the “Silent Observer,” to melt into the “One Song” that flows through and sustains all beings and creatures and is known by the name of Love.

Love is the “Great Filtering” presence within that—like the proverbial alchemist— changes the iron of dark thoughts into the gold of Loves’ wide embrace.

What would a ’60s-like Love and Peace Movement look like today? I believe that more and more individuals and groups are coming together to help one another through the use of sound and frequencies to ground the energies of anger and hatred, to transmute those energies that can then be used for powerful creative and healing work.

By learning to listen to Love’s vibration within, they transmute and attune first their own heart’s ability to receive, and then by connecting with groups throughout the world, the power of their unified Love rises like the tide to inundate and transform hearts now consumed by fires of war.

Isn’t it time? To try Love on for size?

Fear is like a snake’s venomous bite that paralyzes and shuts down the necessary organs required for survival. However, whereas being bitten by a snake has beginning and end, the bite of fear can take up residency in the consciousness through the habit-producing venom of believing ourselves weak and insignificant. The following post is Higher Self’s response to questions about how to deal with fear, when Life seems to be like the spin cycle of some large washing machine before being “wrung out” to dry.

Once again we’re pushing you to surrender the tight hold you have upon fears and beliefs of limitation. It is not our intention to frighten but sometimes it seems we need to shake you in order to awaken you to the path that is yours to walk. Your prayer has always been for freedom and we have always responded; and yet the expectations of how freedom “should” look and feel like oftentimes gets in the way of our help. When you feel stuck and afraid, not knowing what to do, our guidance is always there. Even as you bang your head again and again on doors that do not wish to open, please understand that this is to help you consider other pathways that are more in line with your gifts and life lessons.

Beliefs and cultural upbringing are like magnetic force fields that seem to prevent you from experiencing higher dimensions of Being that are far more preferable than the default existence that most people on earth struggle in. And yet abundance and freedom are the birthright of all souls, attainable to all who are willing to release the tight hold upon the beliefs they have about the world.

You are still not convinced about the power of thoughts. Do this now: watch feelings and thoughts as they appear upon the screen of your awareness. Focus your attention on that place within that observes. Experience and feel the subtlety of thoughts as they rise and fall within. Receive the impressions of your surroundings without endlessly thinking about them.

Listen and take notice of all sounds without attaching to them. In other words, just Be. Let thoughts come and go. Observe the body and experience the energy field that you are.

As you continue in this primal awareness, you will begin to understand the immensity of Being, that your previous existence as a little struggling human will be seen as a distant dream; and in the fullness of calm acceptance, all that you need and desire will be more than fulfilled!

This post started out as thoughts regarding the power of manifestation and the meaning and use of money in our world culture. It took a major turn towards thoughts of love as the generative power behind all creation….

It requires more than good intentions to manifest dreams, especially ones that are worthy of our creative energies. Noble ambitions and lofty ideals seem to require a combination of indomitable will to succeed, a passion for the work we do and a “never-give-up” attitude.

Dear Higher Self, how does one get over the hump of “feeling stuck” as we move towards our dreams?

You believe yourself trapped in a desert land of “not-knowing,” of feeling stuck. Energy is always moving. It cannot get stuck! What feels like confusion and inertia is but a thought, a repeating mental construct that feels like a kind of inner paralysis, not knowing how to move forward in life. Do you see freedom as having a greater ability to attract what you need and want, of having more money?

Money is a certain type of energy with massive belief structures tied to it. In your world, money is life, is work, is necessary for your very existence. Money then, has become –- in a sense — god. And yet, you also know intellectually that it is just a concept, a creation of the mind that societies have placed a great deal of value upon. The abuse and lust for money is the ancient and modern day “Slave Master” of which all are subject to so long as they remain bound to its siren voice, mesmerized by glittery promises of happiness and freedom. History amply shows the carcasses of untold millions that have died unfulfilled while in pursuit of the all-powerful coin.

Listen to the drone of desires that have sung epic choruses through the centuries. How often have they devolved in final measure to the coarse strains of “money, sex, power?” Is this too simplistic a depiction of life on planet Earth as expressed through the ages by the magnificent and complex creatures known as Human Beings?

That Mother Earth has born witness to mass slaughter, warfare, and genocide of her children is undeniably evident — even as this degradation continues on today. Of course the Human Being is more than just the volatile mix of money, sex and power. The Human Being as manifested through the Soul sings with transcendant voices of Love and Wisdom, the powerful twins that are the older sister and brother of the triplets, Money, Sex, and Power. In the family of Soul, there are no quarrels between siblings. All have respect for each other, and each has a place in the family.

So long as humans remain trapped in inordinate cravings for any desire, debased or noble, without the stabilizing effects of Love and Wisdom, they shall remain an agitated mass of human longing rather than the divine creation of Human Being.

Love is the one constant, the unified field theory underlying all creation. It is the Soul’s backbone and background, the ground upon which it eternally expresses and creates. Love is the heart of Wisdom, the combined power of which brings forth noble ambitions and dreams. That humans lose their way in the labyrinth of desires is not the intent or way of Love. It is, rather, a result of forgetfulness induced by the drunken grasping after the hypnotic lights of Love’s reflection in the countless Earthly forms that intimate only imperfectly the One Source that would end all blind grasping and longing.

Love’s reflection in the millions of forms around and outside of us is not meant to taunt or torture, but to rather call all souls to seek the One Love behind all desires, the One Light behind all reflections. As you learn and move through Life, growing towards and embracing the Light that brightly glows within, all restless yearnings and sighing after unfulfilled dreams fall away, replaced by the knowing that the nightmare of smallness, of feeling lost and afraid is coming to a close. Asleep no more, you remember your Self and the connection that is unbreakable with the One Consciousness that upholds universes.

How can I coalesce energy into physical manifestation?

All that you experience in the world is a condensation of energy. It is all an energetic sea of consciousness. The relative vibration of your environment, which includes all of your perceptions and beliefs about lack and limitation, is kept in motion by the thoughts and mindset you habitually hold onto.

The mind normally coasts along in a dream zone that maintains certain thoughts and beliefs. It does so out of habit. If you desire to break out of the straight jacket of narrowness, all that is necessary is to drop identification with the egoic mind, but of course, this is a tricky thing to do, as all of humanity and the fiery dramas through history has shown.

The consciousness of the stream of thoughts and the sense of “I-ness” that you entertain in relation to thoughts and desires is an ongoing dream identity that has fairly narrow and strict parameters as far as what is required or desired by the body and ego identity.

The desires of ego are like barbs that thrash you because you do not yet know how to effectively use thoughts and feelings to drop into the frequencies of Spirit, which is unlimited and all-abundant.

The energy of abundance is all around you. The imprint of this frequency can be felt now and there are infinite ways to do this. It can start with imagination, thoughts, or affirmations, but the most important aspect is to feel the vibration of that power, and then to merge into that consciousness, into that river of feeling.

Use the power of rhythm and sound to create the energetic sculpture of abundance that is born through vibration. This “sculpture” may take on many different forms and can instruct you regarding the consciousness of wealth.

Use activities that you enjoy doing as a way to generate momentum and magnetism. For example, your love of playing or listening to music can be used as a way to take you into deep states of focused and relaxed concentration wherein you are close to the creative energies.

Use the power of relaxed concentration! All that you wish for in life is so close at hand if you would use the precious gifts that are already yours. Go to the center of Being and observe thoughts as they come and go. Soon you will realize the Grand Observer behind all that you behold and experience.

Release your worries! Energy can be converted into whatever you focus your attention upon - even money – when you open up to what is freely given. Your power has its foundation in the bedrock of Being! Fall to your center. Feel the movement of energy within. Listen and expand your awareness to receive now!

Struggle happens only when you lose yourself to the dreams of limitation. From the consciousness of Being, from the power of Presence, create and manifest everyday so that what now seems impossible or too difficult to do becomes your natural state of Being!

The body is a window to help you experience particular dimensions of creation. Life experiences were meant to be enjoyed and learned from, not to torture and maim. Free yourself now by releasing the strong hold upon the stories erected around the beliefs you have about this existence.

Listen to the whispers of your heart calling you to create differently. Stop fighting your own power! Create from the abundance that dances within. Release yourself to follow the trail of Beauty! Receive and create! Unleash what wants to express and have life in the world.

It is not complicated. Do not make life a series of problems! Breathe deeply, release, create, enjoy the moment. In the fullness of Presence, all things are filled with infinite beauty and light. Feelings of loneliness and separation are symptoms of a consciousness that is fractured by attachments to past and worries of the future. Connect now with the music that plays from inside. Immerse yourself quickly into the river that flows towards the Great Spirit. Relax and feel your Larger Self.

What dimension of consciousness do you wish to visit and learn from? There is no realm of wisdom and knowledge that is beyond your reach. Just feel what is around you now. Consider the people within the circle of your environment. When talking with them, pay attention more on the inside and feel the rays of light and vibration that penetrate to the deepest levels of your heart. Focus upon the energy field around them and the vibratory feel of the words that issue from their lips. You will then connect on the deeper levels of heart and wisdom where true communication occurs. You are all so much more than the bodies and roles that you play!

The body is a doorway to experience various levels of consciousness. Do not get stuck on only one plane or dimension. You have grown so accustomed to the world via the senses that the spectrum of your awareness lies within a fairly narrow range. Your experience of the different forces of Nature is pretty much constrained by mental concepts and memories. Can you feel the Wind not only as physical sensation but also as consciousness that can be communicated with? When you learn to listen on the inside, you will understand that you are connected with all forces of Nature in a most intimate way. That you ever feel disconnected and separated from the Source of all Beauty and Love is the grandest “Magic Disappearing Act” you play again and again on your Self.

Consciousness congeals to form a picture of you in a universe that has certain laws of physics required to maintain the dream. The billions of individuals who walk upon planet Earth all participate in this dream of separation, and yet many are awakening to the One Consciousness that is dreaming the picture and drama of suffering. When you learn to see the body and mind as a “multi-sensory movie producing machine,” then you will learn to disconnect your seemingly hardwired attachments to the body and mind. You need not ignore the body but only release the tight grip you have upon the flickering pictures of the drama. The senses were meant to help you experience the Universe as energy, as vibration and consciousness. Allow thoughts to settle down and just experience your body and mind as a dream producer. As you watch dispassionately, you begin to experience the Vast Consciousness behind the dream. The dream then becomes peripheral and the Consciousness of Spirit expands fold upon fold. Just observe without attachment or grasping. This has always been our instructions to you. So simple… and yet for all those still caught in the dream, it seems difficult–if not impossible–to extricate themselves from the gossamer fetters of the nightmare that continue to bind!

In this post, Higher Self speaks of holding to the path we were “born to travel,” and to release blind attachments to the beliefs we have regarding what we think is required for survival on this planet. Higher Self also speaks about manifesting abundance through the magnet of the heart, through the simple awareness of Presence.

Again and again we ask you to create. Do not get sidetracked. Hold to the path you were born to travel. You are a creator! Continue to write, paint, play music and sing. Help yourself to the treasures that are in abundance and call upon the consciousness of trees, sky, stars and crystals to help you every step of the way.

Do not make life into a problem of survival. Widen your mental and spiritual eyes to embrace the vast universe of infinite creation. If your experience has been one of lack and want, it is because you have settled for the small waterhole that everyone else is fighting for. Limit not your vision and imagination to the small plot of land you have grown accustomed to. Consider the world as a doorway in which infinite creative energies abound. Learn to think, feel and move in ways that will help you to live in the wider sky of divine awareness!

The world you see is a narrow band of consciousness that is but a tiny island of your true existence. You are infinitely more than the tale of struggle that you have written for yourself. The story of humanity for the most part has been one of fight and struggle because that is the ongoing dream nightmare continuously fed by the scalding waters of sorrow and the torturous barbs of human suffering.

Let this chapter of life be about learning how to see what others are unwilling to see, to hear and experience the expanse of powers that can only be intuited by deep openness and inner listening. Unloose yourself to creativity and explore horizons beyond what is familiar and “safe.” Move in the light beams of consciousness to experience places of unimaginable beauty and power; and through your explorations help others to connect with the vibratory realms of unspeakable joy and abundance.

It is time to drop attachments to what you believe the world is. The belief that you must work within a given set of worldly parameters in order to pay the bills requires a certain “monetary mindset” which can also be defined as time and life energy. Whatever way that money is defined, it seems to be the predominant currency for survival in the world. How much of this life energy or currency are you expending to maintain your present life situation?

Understand the dream nature of this dimension you believe yourself a prisoner of. Dissolve the dream by letting go of past and future. Bring all of yourself to the simple awareness of Presence, without judgment, without attachment to thought. In this awareness there is no fight about how you would like things to be, about limitations and the human condition. From this place of clarity, you experience all things as a play and drama being dreamt by the Universe. From this place of consciousness, you live, act, sleep and dream without holding onto the suffering inherent in dream attachment.

Your relationships to the body and the world changes as thoughts of the past and uncertainties of the future fall away. The body is but an instrument to help you experience a particular dimension of the Universal Consciousness. It is a narrow dimension to those attached to strong belief systems of what they believe the world to be. To those who are awakening, the body becomes a portal to other dimensions of finer energies where beings and creatures of incredible beauty and power reside!

You are not a prisoner of your body and all of its needs! Just breathe and observe the energies that play and dance within. You have powers and energies that can explode you out of the present mindset of lack and limitation. In the simple awareness of Presence, your body and environment draws to you the very things you now only wish for. With simple awareness, the heart is charged like a magnet to attract the things you need and desire. Manifesting abundance then becomes a matter of fine-tuning the heart, magnetizing it through focus upon the unfolding moment. With awareness, the sense of “I-ness” expands to include the environment and all creatures. You become a force of Nature, a part of the universal current of Creation where the consciousness of time and space expands into the fullness of Presence!

Dear Higher Self, what does it take to manifest the dreams that I have for this life? My intention is to continue creating (art, music, writing), connecting with the inner Source, going deeper and deeper into the mysteries of sound and sound healing…I want to attract on a higher level.

Intention is a start, but it is not powerful enough to create and sustain the life that you are asking for. You have already made many intentions using prayers and vocal harmonics, and yet certain dreams continue to remain beyond your grasp.

Yes, why is this so?

The power of “volition” is required: the constant, undiscouraged efforts (actions) and prayers to manifest what is desired! Only through volition is the object of your desires brought into existence. Otherwise the lack of energy and forward motion brings intention to a standstill. Move forward with volition using sound (vibration) to congeal the vision of what is desired!

Everything in creation was brought forth through the “Word,” or vibration. If what you wish for does not exist, volition plus “Word” (vibration) will bring the atoms together to manifest your dreams.

Create in your mind, create with your voice, move in alliance with all the energies of your body, mind and soul towards the grand vision of your Higher Self! All of your art will then be as energetic totems that contain thought forms and mantrams that draw the atoms of Creation towards the magnet of your powerful vision.

You are getting a sense of the amount of energy and focus that is required in order to manifest. The attendance at your workshop wasn’t what you had intended. Do you understand why this was so? Your intention did not match the reality of what was required energetically to draw the numbers you wanted. Please also understand that the channels or grooves of incoming energy must be built up. Once built, it will not require as much expenditure of focus and energy to keep the flow going. At present you are expending tremendous amounts of time and energy to build your Internet Marketing income stream and it seems to take a long time for the results to show financially.

Why is this so?

It is not that you are doing anything wrong. Your ads and articles are excellent. It is just that on the energetic level your financial receptivity “buttons” need to be activated. You are so close to the ocean of abundance and creative power and yet you dream you are cut off from the Source!

What can I do to awaken?

You identify so strongly with the dream of limitation that you no longer feel your connection with the ocean of energy that you are. Learn to feel you Self beyond identification with the body and mind. Expand your field to include the room you are in, the building, the city, the world, the entire Universe! You are not a limited small being with small identity. You are connected to the universal currents of creation!

Observe all that lives and grows around you: the trees, flowers, grasses…Observe the vastness of sky and powers of Nature. You are connected to this Power! Receive what is rightfully yours!

What does it take to activate abundance?

Can you believe it is already activated. Feel the energies that flow to you. It is joyful, blissful. The Divine River flows smoothly and effortlessly. Claim the bounty that can easily express as financial abundance. It envelops you just as the rays of the Sun envelop you in its warmth. Claim your Divine birthright!
There is nothing hidden from you, no secrets to be uncovered. It has been your own hardness and guardedness of spirit that has kept you from seeing what is ultimately the most simple to apprehend: Ask and receive! Ask and receive with the full confidence of your connection with the Infinite Love that embraces and upholds all creatures and all beings!
