John’s audio reading is available here.

Excitement mounts as the moment for “The Event” approaches. Many of you are not feeling the excitement, and it seems to you that the imminence of humanity’s awakening has been horribly overstated.

It has not! Just try to release your need for a time-line because it anchors you very firmly in the illusion from which you are in the process of awakening. It is a little as though your alarm clock had rung to wake you but you hit the snooze button as you groaned “not yet!” Many of you are far too comfortable snoozing on as you complain that nothing of note is ever going to happen.

Remember, what you focus on is what you experience, so focus on your intent to awaken from the dream, because that is what you incarnated to do. And humanity will awaken with you.

There is only One Will, God’s. You are always in alignment with His Will because you are inseparably One with Him, just as you were created, and nothing can change that. Of course this does not seem to be the case as you continue to maintain and cling to the dream of separation. It is a very convincing dream, an absolute nightmare of betrayal, pain, and suffering; and an ongoing denial of Reality is an essential intent that you regularly reaffirm in the maintenance of this unreality.

Your modern psychologists will confirm for you that denial is part of cognitive dissonance, the state in which your basic beliefs are in conflict with each other, and you have to deny one forcefully to enable you to believe in the other if you are to be able to live in any form of peace with yourself. However, this solution is only temporary, and the need to engage in denial intensifies, leading eventually to addiction and or insanity.

As we have said so often the illusion is insane, and you no longer truly want to maintain it, you want to wake up. Deep within you the flame of divine Love is always burning, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for you, for any human to ignore It. It is Love, a Light that is so intense It cannot be ignored, It can only be denied until the dissonance within becomes unbearable, unmaintainable, and Its brilliance overwhelms a person.

A personal catastrophe such as a severe illness or accident, the loss of a loved one, or a near death experience can initiate a breakout from the state of denial that seems to have served someone well. When that happens it is wonderfully shocking!

Humanity has collectively made the decision to awaken and it is presently in the ongoing state of putting that decision into effect. As a result many strange and confusing events are unfolding around you, events that seem weird and unconnected.

People everywhere are changing their attitudes and behaviors, seemingly unaccountably, and they are giving up or redefining the images they have long maintained as their public personae as they “come out” and allow the Love burning within them to be seen and expressed publicly.

That is the reason for the increasingly pervasive air of excitement that nearly everyone is feeling but cannot put adequately into words, a feeling that appears unsupportable by any “normal” occurrences in daily life. Nothing seems to have changed, and yet everything feels quite different.

Maybe it would be more appropriate to say that an air of eager anticipation is abroad rather than excitement, but a sense of excitement is building and will soon be uncontainable.

You have been praying and hoping for a return to Reality since the moment of separation. Within the illusion that appears to have occurred eons ago, but in Truth it was but a moment ago.

It is extremely difficult for you to make sense of that enormous time discrepancy because time is one of the bulwarks of the illusion, and like it is unreal.

Nevertheless, you all experience time constantly passing or dissolving, making it appear very real. But your modern science has shown that it is unreal, a relative component of an environment that is composed purely of energy that appears to be and in fact feels very solid, very real, in the relatively small quantities that coalesce to form a planet in the vastness of seemingly empty space.

Some of you have had terrifying dreams of falling endlessly through dark empty space where you are utterly alone, and that was how the illusion was experienced originally– as nothing! That was too extreme and so you built physicality into the illusion to, as it were, give you something to hold on to, to cling to.

Over eons of time the illusion developed, as suggested in the Big Bang theory, to provide an environment in which the game of separation that you chose to play could grow and develop, reducing to a certain extent the sense of terror that pure emptiness, nothingness, separation initially established.

After that initial and horrifying shock you made the choice to return to Unity, and to do so the illusion was developed to seemingly provide a path or show the way.

History tells of the many attempts that ancient cultures over the eons have made to identify and personify Reality by inventing gods with whom you could communicate if you behaved appropriately, or to whom you could pray for deliverance from the illusion which seemed so real and threatening.

You are always in the Presence of God, because, as you have so often been told, God, Love, pure energy is all that exists, and It is totally unlimited in any way, It just is!

You are eternally embraced by and enveloped in that divine state, lovingly held in infinite joy, in Reality where all exists in perfect unchanging harmony. But the illusion is like a heavy veil that you inserted between yourself and God, and you are now in the process of removing it.

As we have said, time is as illusory as the illusion, and your separation from Source, from God, was but a momentary excursion into a place that does not exist followed by your instant return to Reality.

It was a little like when you go into another room to get your spectacles, a book, your wallet, and on arrival you forget what you came for, a fleeting lapse of consciousness and memory occurs. That is what the illusion is – a fleeting lapse of consciousness or memory!

Now it is time for you to recover from that memory lapse, and you are feeling a sense of anticipation or expectation. That feeling has always been with you as you have lived your countless human lives – “I feel sure that something is missing, but what?” And so you have turned to your origins your spiritual essence for assistance.

That spiritual essence is One with God, with all of creation, and so when you contact a favorite saint, a guide, an angel, or a departed loved one in prayer, or when you go within to your most holy sanctuary you are in fact making contact with the real You, the unseparated aspect of God that is your divine and eternal nature.

Who You are never changes or alters, you just had a momentary lapse of consciousness from which you are about to awaken, and then awareness of Reality will come flooding in filling you with untold joy. Don’t hit the snooze button again, it is time to wake and enjoy Unity consciousness once more. Your welcome Home will astound You.

Your loving brother, Jesus.

Beloved Masters, it is time for you to take advantage of your physical and Spiritual senses in the fullest measure. You must redefine and learn to properly use the physical senses in order to access and develop the higher senses that became dormant so long ago: clairvoyance/clear seeing, clairaudience/clear hearing or telepathic abilities, clairsentience/clear knowing (that of an empathic, intuitive person with an expanded, inner sense of awareness). All of these heightened abilities are a part of your Divine Birthright just waiting for you to reclaim them.

We have discussed in great detail the seven major chakras of the physical vessel and outlined the positive and negative attributes/functions of each one. It is important that you also realize that each chakra and organ within the body has a consciousness of its own, which was overlaid and infused with the energies of your many past experiences and thought forms. You have not only created your outer world with your beliefs and the vibrational frequencies of your thoughts, but you have built your inner world as well.

Your body communicates with you in many ways, but do you know how to listen and interpret what it is telling you? I have stated this truth to you before, but it bears repeating. Many of you have accepted the fact that you can communicate and interact with the Angelic Realms and Beings of Light. However, most of you are still not aware that you can communicate with the many Facets of your bodily form.

Some time ago we gave you the gift of Seven Crystalline Spheres of Higher Consciousness, whereby you began the process of returning your chakra system to a harmonious state, by breathing Spheres of Light from your God Seed Atom / I AM Presence into each of the seven major chakra centers of the physical body. We had you breathe in a Sphere of Light, and then superimpose the Infinity Sign over each sphere/chakra to assist in accelerating the process of releasing impacted, disharmonious energy patterns, as you strive to reclaim the gifts of Self-mastery.

The process of clearing, harmonizing and balancing the seven major chakras of the physical body results in an important initiation process called THE OPENING OF THE SEVEN SEALS OF GOD-CONSCIOUSNESS. As each chakra is returned to harmony within itself, a process is activated whereby an energy vortex is opened, and the perfected qualities and energy of that chakra are projected upward into the next chakra.

Also, the store of Adamantine Particles of Creator Light is released from each chakra, and begins to flow upward as the process is repeated until the Crown Chakra is activated, which allows an amazing and wondrous thing to take place: the chakra system begins to spin at such high revolution that it turns the spinal column into a blazing shaft of Light, and the five Higher Galactic Rays of the Creator pour down through the column of Light and infuse all your chakras with the luminescence of your GOD SEED ATOM.

That is the process that many of you have been experiencing these last few years, and since you are on an accelerated Path of en-Lighten-ment and transformation, much discomfort and distortion have been activated within the physical vessel. There was and is much to be released, rectified and balanced, for what has taken thousands of years to create is being transmuted in just a few short years. So please be gentle with yourselves, and consciously be aware that you are in the process of incorporating and transforming your human self into your shining Spiritual/human Self.

Allow us to give you another simplified exercise to assist you in tapping into the inner wisdom of your physical vessel. I will give you a key word for each chakra. Please study, review, and learn some of the attributes of each chakra, and then as you go about your daily life, when appropriate, chant or say the word for each chakra. (These words may be toned and held as long as comfortable if you wish.)

As with toning the vowel sounds, start at your lowest, most comfortable note, and slowly move up the scale, as you repeat the word for each chakra. Or, you may tone them all at whatever frequency level is comfortable for you. Observe what comes to mind when you chant the key word and focus on the chakra. How do you “LIVE” with the energies of the Root Chakra? How do you “LOVE” with the energies of the heart, and so on?

ROOT CHAKRA

The Root Chakra grounds your physical self to the Life Force Energy of Earth, and it gives stability (this is most important, for you must honor and maintain the physical body while reaching for the stars). When this chakra is functioning properly and in balance, you will have more vitality, courage and self-confidence. It will help you release old survival and scarcity issues, and help you to tap into your treasure chest of abundance.

Take a deep breath and TONE: “I LIVE.”
Breathe deeply and TONE: UH (HUH).
STATE TO YOURSELF: “I AM NOW ACCESSING AND INTEGRATING THE POWER OF UNITY AND ONENESS, AND MY CONNECTION WITH THE EARTH AND ALL ABUNDANCE.”
BREATHE DEEPLY. EITHER BY ENVISIONING OR USING YOUR IMAGINATION, SEE THE SPHERE OF LIGHT, WHICH REPRESENTS YOUR ROOT CHAKRA, BEGIN TO SPIN FASTER AND FASTER, BECOMING LIGHTER AND BRIGHTER UNTIL IT BURSTS INTO A RADIANT SUN, AND A SHAFT OF LIGHT MOVES FROM THE FIRST CHAKRA UP INTO THE SECOND CHAKRA (LOCATED JUST BELOW THE NAVEL). SAY: “I AM ONE WITH THE DIVINE CREATOR SOURCE.”

NAVEL CHAKRA

This is the seat of your physical/emotional self. When this chakra is in balance, you are no longer plagued by self-doubt, addictions, or sexual issues. You become attuned to the wisdom of your Soul Mind instead of the ego mind, and gradually, all of the old self-limiting thought patterns of the subconscious mind are replaced with self-confidence and emotional stability. You begin to take back your personal power as you learn to create joy, peace and prosperity instead of fear and limitation.

Take a deep breath and TONE: “I FEEL.”
Breathe deeply and TONE: OO (YOU).
STATE TO YOURSELF: “I AM NOW ACCESSING AND INTEGRATING THE POWER OF PASSION WITH SPIRIT AS MY DIRECTOR. MY DESIRE IS TO CREATE JOY, PEACE AND PROSPERITY TO ENJOY AND SHARE WITH OTHERS.”
BREATHE DEEPLY. SEE THE SPHERE OF LIGHT WHICH REPRESENTS YOUR SECOND CHAKRA BEGIN TO SPIN FASTER AND FASTER, BECOMING LIGHTER AND BRIGHTER UNTIL IT BURSTS INTO A RADIANT SUN, AND A SHAFT OF LIGHT MOVES UP FROM THE SECOND CHAKRA TO THE THIRD CHAKRA (SOLAR PLEXUS). SAY: “I AM WHOLE AND COMPLETE WITHIN MYSELF.”

SOLAR PLEXUS

This is the seat of your physical/mental self. When this chakra begins to spin in harmony, and only a few discordant energies remain, your self-esteem returns, knowledge turns into wisdom and clarity of thought. You regain self-control, and you become the master of your desires. You learn to set boundaries, and to honor the boundaries of others, as you draw forth energy from the Universal Source of Life Substance, and your own GOD SEED ATOM (I AM Presence), instead of tapping into the energies of those around you. The activation of your Solar Power Center begins at this point (SOLAR PLEXUS, HEART, THROAT AND THYMUS).

Take a deep breath and TONE: “I WILL.”
Breathe deeply and TONE: OH (GO).
STATE TO YOURSELF: “I AM NOW ACCESSING MY PERSONAL POWER CENTER, AND I TAKE CONTROL OF MY EMOTIONS. I AM THE MASTER OF MY DESIRES. I SET CLEARLY-DEFINED BOUNDARIES.”
BREATHE DEEPLY. SEE THE SPHERE OF LIGHT, WHICH REPRESENTS YOUR THIRD CHAKRA, BEGIN TO SPIN FASTER AND FASTER, BECOMING LIGHTER AND BRIGHTER UNTIL IT BURSTS INTO A RADIANT SUN, AND A SHAFT OF LIGHT MOVES UP FROM THE THIRD CHAKRA TO THE FOURTH CHAKRA (HEART). SAY: “I AM THE POWER TO CREATE.”

HEART

The Heart Chakra is the gateway to the higher chakras, which connect you to the Soul Self and your Fifth-Dimensional SACRED TRIAD. When your Heart Chakra is unbalanced or mostly shut down, you will function primarily as an instinctual human being, who is governed by the three lower chakras of the physical self. As you balance the energies of the heart mind/emotions (the LIFE AND LOVE FORCE ENERGY CENTERS of the body), you will tap into the unconditional Love Force of the God Mind. You swiftly release all energies and thought patterns which manifest as jealousy, envy, selfishness, guilt, or feelings of unworthiness. As you ignite the Three-fold Flame of Divine Will, Wisdom and Love, you will begin to develop a compassionate nature, and a oneness with life and all things.

Take a deep breath and TONE: “I LOVE.”
Breathe deeply and TONE: AH (FATHER).
STATE TO YOURSELF: “I NOW ACTIVATE MY EMOTIONAL AND MY SOLAR POWER LIFE FORCE CENTERS. I RECEIVE AND PROJECT ONLY LOVE/LIGHT ENERGY. I OPEN MY HEART TO THE DIVINE FLOW OF SPIRIT.”
BREATHE DEEPLY. SEE THE SPHERE OF LIGHT, WHICH REPRESENTS YOUR FOURTH CHAKRA, BEGIN TO SPIN FASTER AND FASTER, BECOMING LIGHTER AND BRIGHTER, UNTIL IT BURSTS INTO A RADIANT SUN, AND A SHAFT OF LIGHT MOVES UP FROM THE FOURTH CHAKRA TO THE FIFTH CHAKRA (THROAT). SAY:” I AM UNIVERSAL LOVE.”

THROAT

The Throat Chakra is connected to the astral / emotional plane or mental / causal plane, depending on the vibrational frequencies of the thoughts and words you project. This may seem confusing; however, since you create your own reality by the frequency patterns you radiate, the law of attraction assures that the lower frequencies you send forth will attract astral plane energies, and the higher ones will tap into the mental planes of consciousness. The ascension process entails mastering the physical plane, the astral (emotional) plane, the mental plane and, eventually, up into the Fifth Dimension, which is our Divine Blueprint Goal” for this Round of Ascension. Communication, the power of the spoken word, is one of the most important tools on the physical plane. When you begin to use the language of Love / Light and Soul talk, you will always speak your highest truth, you will be expressive and creative in speech, as well as in the written word, and you will become proficient in manifesting your vision for the future.

Take a deep breath and TONE: “I SPEAK.”
Breathe deeply and TONE: I (EYE).
STATE TO YOURSELF: “I AM NOW ACCESSING MY WILL POWER CENTER THROUGH THE POWER OF COMMUNICATION AND SELF-EXPRESSION. I WILL SPEAK MY TRUTH WITH INTEGRITY AND DISCERNMENT.
BREATHE DEEPLY. SEE THE SPHERE OF LIGHT WHICH REPRESENTS YOUR FIFTH CHAKRA BEGIN TO SPIN FASTER AND FASTER, BECOMING LIGHTER AND BRIGHTER UNTIL IT BURSTS INTO A RADIANT SUN, AND A SHAFT OF LIGHT MOVES UP FROM THE FIFTH CHAKRA TO THE SIXTH CHAKRA (THIRD EYE). SAY: “I AM PERFECT EXPRESSION.”

THIRD EYE

The brow or Third Eye Chakra opens the door to the “inner senses.” First, by re-establishing the connection between you and your unconscious self (subconscious mind), and gradually, with your Higher Self, as the pure Cosmic Light Substance of the God Mind (called Rays) is allowed to enter and activate your God consciousness (the Inner Essence of you). You will move through the whispers of intuition into a “knowing” that you are being guided and inspired by Spirit. New knowledge, creative ideas and inspiration from the higher mental and intuitive planes will be accessible to you as you clear the distortions. Do not fear the seemingly dark energies or thought forms that float into your consciousness or before your eyes during meditation, beloveds, for these are your own miscreations coming to the fore to be healed and transmuted into Light. Love is the dynamic, cohesive Force of Creation, and when Love/Light is shined on any misqualified thought frequency, it is Lightened, and eventually transmuted. Also, remember to use the gift of the Violet Flame.

Take a deep breath and TONE: “I SEE.”
Breathe deeply and TONE: AYE (SAY).
STATE TO YOURSELF: “I AM NOW ACCESSING THE POWER OF MY INTUITIVE MIND. I HAVE CLEAR INSIGHT, AND I LISTEN ATTENTIVELY AS I TAP INTO MY INNER WISDOM AND THE WISDOM OF MY HIGHER SELF.”
BREATHE DEEPLY. SEE THE SPHERE OF LIGHT, WHICH REPRESENTS YOUR SIXTH CHAKRA, BEGIN TO SPIN FASTER AND FASTER, BECOMING LIGHTER AND BRIGHTER UNTIL IT BURSTS INTO A RADIANT SUN, AND A SHAFT OF LIGHT MOVES UP FROM THE SIXTH CHAKRA TO THE SEVENTH CHAKRA (THE CROWN). SAY: “I AM A PERFECT INSTRUMENT OF CLARITY AND WISDOM.”

CROWN CHAKRA

When the Crown Chakra is activated your Column of Light is opened, in preparation for the integration of the many levels of your OverSoul/High Selves. Gradually, as you progress, the wisdom, gifts and treasures stored within your SACRED TRIAD, which resides in the Fifth Dimension, will become available to you. As you demonstrate that you are ready to live and radiate the Love / Light / Truth of Creation, you will be infused with an ever-increasing flow of the attributes, qualities and virtues of the Twelve Rays of God Consciousness.

Take a deep breath and TONE: “I AM.”
Breathe deeply and TONE: EEE (ME).
STATE TO YOURSELF: “I AM NOW ACCESSING MY SPIRITUAL POWER AND THE CONNECTION TO MY DIVINE GOD SEED ATOM, WHICH IS MY CENTER OF ENLIGHTENMENT / INSPIRATION /WISDOM.”
BREATHE DEEPLY. SEE THE SPHERE OF LIGHT WHICH REPRESENTS YOUR SEVENTH CHAKRA BEGIN TO SPIN FASTER AND FASTER, BECOMING LIGHTER AND BRIGHTER UNTIL IT BURSTS INTO A RADIANT SUN AND A SHAFT OF LIGHT MOVES UP FROM THE SEVENTH CHAKRA TO THE SOUL STAR. (THE SOUL STAR CHAKRA IS 6″ TO 8″ ABOVE THE CROWN OF YOUR HEAD.)

STATE TO YOURSELF: “I CONNECT TO AND AM IN ALIGNMENT WITH MY RAINBOW BRIDGE TO UNITY CONSCIOUSNESS. I HEREBY TRANSMUTE ALL MISQUALIFIED ENERGIES AS I MOVE BEYOND THE LAW OF KARMA AND INTO A STATE OF GRACE.”
BREATHE DEEPLY AND TONE “AUM.”

ENVISION THE COLUMN OF LIGHT THAT CONNECTS YOU TO YOUR GOD SEED ATOM/I AM PRESENCE GROWING WIDER AND WIDER UNTIL IT FORMS A LOTUS BLOSSOM CROWN ON YOUR HEAD. SEE IT CLEARING ALL THE DISTORTIONS AND STATIC FROM YOUR DIVINE CONNECTION WITH SPIRIT SO THAT THE FREQUENCY PATTERNS OF DIVINE LIGHT, DIVINE WILL, AND DIVINE WISDOM MAY FLOW FREELY TO YOU, VIA THE GREAT RAYS FROM OUR MOTHER / FATHER GOD, AND FROM YOU, OUT INTO THE WORLD. SAY: “I AM ONE WITH THE DIVINE SOURCE.”
BREATHE DEEPLY AND TONE THREE TIMES: AUM * AUM * AUM

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

To further assist you in reestablishing a pure, strong connection with your Spiritual Guides, Angelic Helpers, and your Soul Family, with whom you are to work as you move forward together into the Higher Realms of consciousness, we offer this exercise:

Focus your consciousness deep within your Sacred Heart as you take a few deep breaths. Envision (however you perceive) your Soul Essence within a Sphere of Light, move through the portal at the back of your Sacred Heart chamber. You move quickly up into the Fifth Dimension into a new Pyramid of Light, which has been especially designed as a meeting place for you and your Soul friends and companions, who are journeying together into the refined frequencies of the Higher Realms.

Move into this Sacred Space and take your seat at the round crystal table. As you do so, look around the room, and take notice of those with whom you are to commune and work are also seated in the crystal chairs, surrounding the table. Take a moment to identify those who are with you in your Pyramid. Others will be added from time to time, and your Pyramid of Light will expand to accommodate them all.

As with all other Pyramids of Light in the Higher Dimensions, there is a double-terminated pure quartz crystal hanging down from the peak of the Pyramid over the crystal table in the center. Electrifying Lightning Sparks are radiating forth from the giant crystal out into the room. This is the rarified Essence of the Supreme Creator and our Father/Mother God–the Adamantine Particles of Divine Light.

There is a fountain under the table, with a blazing Violet Flame pouring forth out into the room, which will transmute any discordant energy you bring into this place to be purified and released. Come to this Sacred Place often to strengthen your connections and your rapport with your Soul Family of Light.

SAY TO YOURSELF: “I RECLAIM MY DIVINE BIRTHRIGHT AND MY CONNECTION WITH MY HIGHER SELF, MY SOUL FAMILY, AND ALL THE BEINGS OF LIGHT I AM TO WORK AND COMMUNE WITH, IN ORDER TO ACCESS AND RELAY THE COSMIC WISDOM AND TRUTH I AM TO INTEGRATE AND SHARE. HERE AND NOW, I RECLAIM MY SELF-MASTERY AND ALL THE QUALITIES, GIFTS, VIRTUES AND ATTRIBUTES OF MY DIVINE SELF. I DESIRE TO BE A LIVING PERSONIFIED EXAMPLE OF LOVE, HARMONY, ABUNDANCE AND JOY.

I AM DIVINE LOVE, I AM DIVINE LIGHT, I AM DIVINE WILL, I AM DIVINE WISDOM IN ACTION.” SO BE IT! SO IT IS! I AM THAT, I AM!

My bold and brave Ones, as the process of Ascension accelerates, it is more important than ever that you take advantage of as many as possible of the advanced techniques of transformation. It may seem simplistic; however, the above exercise/meditation are powerful tools to assist in releasing old impacted vibrational patterns, and to assist you in the process of returning to an empowered state of duality, within the physical vessel, so that your Soul Song/Energetic Signature will become a beautiful, harmonious symphony of great magnitude and force.

We are endeavoring to give you all the necessary tools and information possible to assist you on your Path of Illumination. However, you must assume the responsibility for your return to Self-Mastery. We are standing by to assist you, as you reclaim your rightful status as a Spiritual Being on a Divine mission for our Father/Mother God. We salute your bravery. You are loved beyond measure.

I AM Archangel Michael.

Archangel Michael: Opening the Seven Seals of God-Consciousness. Channelled by Ronna Herman. June 1, 2015.http://www.ronnastar.com/messages-aam/latest.html​​

Transmitted through Ronna http://www.ronnastar.com/ * Copy freely and share. However, I claim the universal copyright for this article in the name of Archangel Michael.

It is my intention to achieve and maintain a state of balance, bliss, love, rapture, inspiration, and peace; in essence, to live from a higher state of energy.

I believe that this is the ultimate desire of every human being. Regardless of the specifics of the desires and dreams that an individual may have, who among us does not desire for these qualities to infuse our lives?

Therefore the question isn’t if this is what we want or not, because of course it is. The question is how do we attain these six qualities of an extraordinary life?

Acting On Our Creative Desires

It is common, when working towards personal transformation orspiritual practice in general, to assume that habits are the source of these energies in our lives. And to a degree it is true, because when we act in alignment with our genuine self and calling our energy is realigned with Spirit and we become available for heightened states of awareness/energy.

But I have also found that our actions and our thoughts stem from these heightened states even more powerfully than our thoughts and actions are able to produce them.

Therefore it is important to understand the need for balance between action and stillness; between our habits and between simply surrendering and connecting. For it is precisely our insatiable tendency towards always acting, always needing something to be going on, always needing to be distracted by something, that has created these problems for us in the first place.

What I have seen with myself is that when I focus on writing, which is a passion of mine, I achieve all of these states naturally and organically. But it is not just the act of writing itself which helps me personally access this higher state of energy (higher in relative terms according only to my own experience). Of equal importance is the initial impulse to write and the state of connection that is conducive to allowing for and acting on this desire to write.

In the same way that everyone who has ever established an exercise regimen or a yoga practice can tell you, a large part of the difficulty of the continued practice is not just in the actual practice itself. Because we know that so long as we start we are usually guaranteed to compete the session or routine.

The difficulty is in overcoming the fixed course of our internal dialogue which is resistant to this new practice or habit or way of being, and making that internal shift necessary to act on that desire. In other words, overcoming that mental obstacle that is the only thing separating us from acting on our desires and our calling even.

We all have ideas and desires that are powerful and spontaneous – which are truly inspired – but we delay acting on them simply because the fixed course of our internal dialogue takes us in a different, but entirely routine direction. This occurs because our mental and energetic framework is out of alignment with this infinite awareness and powerful force that exists within us.

So the most direct way to change our lives isn’t necessarily to beginestablishing new habits hoping that they will raise our level of consciousness, but rather to realign our energy and our attention to connect to this higher level of consciousness and allow our actions and habits to be a spontaneous expression of the higher consciousness that we are already at.

The key then is to synchronize with this force and to establish an open line of communication between this higher consciousness or higher self as it is sometimes called, and our actions. And it is this state which results in the spontaneous and natural embodiment of bliss, balance, love, rapture, inspiration, and peace – the six qualities of an extraordinary life.

Removing Distractions

Now the best practice that I know of to access this higher consciousness and overcome the fixed course of our internal dialogue is the practice of silence. Not meditation specifically, but simply silence: being silent, sitting quietly, observing, not doing anything, but simply allowing our awareness to expand in this silence and becoming open and available to the descent of Spirit and the impulses of intention. In other words, allowing yourself to maintain a state of silence in order to become inspired to do what you know you desire to do.

The effect that this has is that it disrupts our internal dialogue by bringing it into the realm of our conscious mind. So often we go through our lives on autopilot because we are engaged (distracted) by the routine and regular flow of our daily lives.

The downside however is that once our internal dialogue becomes sub-conscious, then it influences us and guides our actions subconsciously. Now that is not really an issue if you are living your dream and your doing what you love every day. However if you are not, then it is your internal dialogue which is subconsciously determining your thoughts, attitudes, emotions, behaviors, and actions and manifesting more of the same into your life.

But between each and every one of our thoughts is an infinite awareness which has inherent within it all of the six qualities of an extraordinary life which I have outlined above. And it is there, ever present, between each of our thoughts. Yet most of us are not living from that space of unlimited and uplifting energy, and are instead caught up in the current of our internal dialogue and in the drama of our lives which it is ultimately repeating again and again until we break free.

And while meditation is a direct and effective method of shutting off the internal dialogue, or at least interrupting it so that silence can infuse our lives with these qualities for a time (the length of which increases by degrees as you practice), we also need to do this same thing within our lives as well.

We need also to find this silence on another level in order to translate our inspiration and our ideas into our lives and into the world. So in the same way that it is important to interrupt the incessant internal dialogue of our minds in order to create space for creativity, inspiration, and transformation, we also need to do so on another level: the daily routines of our lives.

Our lives and our daily routines are the manifestation of our internal dialogue. So, as hard as it may be to accept, your life is a projection of your internal reality. Therefore just as it is important to create space in our minds for inspiration and such to come through, it is also important to create space in our lives to translate some of that new energy into action so that we can make direct changes to our lives, and so spontaneous inspired action can come through as well.

Overcoming Procrastination

So next time you find yourself procrastinating doing something that you know you want to do, and enjoy doing, try creating space and just being silent. Much of the time when we are procrastinating acting on our inspirations and our heart centered desires, it is because the are not a part of our habitual energetic alignment and corresponding internal dialogue.

Therefore while sitting in front of the T.V. and guiltily knowing that we would rather be [meditating/writing/reading/whatever it is that youlike to do], it takes a lot of effort to shift right from that deeply ingrained habit to something else. So instead of trying to do that, simply commit yourself to sitting in silence for a bit.

Instead of turning off the TV to get up and run or meditate or whatever, simply commit to turning off the television and going somewhere quiet to sit for a little bit. This is much less of a shift and a commitment, thus it is easier to do. Yet when you enter into silence and create space in this fashion something truly magical happens.

The longer that you sit for, even if it is just 15 minutes, you will find yourself slowly and naturally actually wanting to do what before seemed like such an enormous task. And all it takes is that little time of silence, because as soon as silence is established and our attention is no longer directed at something which is very distracting, then our energy begins to realign with ourselves – our genuine self and higher self – and our mental dialogue changes accordingly, and the urge to act in alignment with this new and higher energy begins to guide us.

This is all such a natural process, and for this reason it is not only useful for overcoming our mental obstacles to acting upon our passions and our inspiration, it is also essential for discovering our passion and our calling. Because once we get into this space, whatever desires compel us into action are automatically in tune with who we are at a much deeper level.

Creating Space In Your Life

Therefore in your day, apart from your meditation practice, I encourage you to cultivate space. You could start your day off with a silence, or simply take a few minutes in between task to see what you are inspired to do in that moment, or you could use silence to shift into a higher state so that you can pierce the veil between you and higher consciousness as I suggested above. The length of time is irrelevant. Just long enough to center yourself in a place where you feel good, and feel good about what you are doing and how you are using your time.

This space is time when you are not meditating, or reading a book, or doing yoga, or eating, or cooking, or exercising, but simply being. And if you create this space every day, then eventually a time will come when you find yourself spontaneously inspired into action. This is the effect desired and it is guaranteed if you are consistent in your practice of creating space.

The famous musician David Crosby (of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young) had a practice where he would leave a space of an hour open every day where he would sit and wait for lyrics to come. He wouldn’t coax them to come, he would just sit and wait. And sometimes a tune would spontaneously appear in his mind and he would write it down, but if it didn’t, then he wasn’t stressed and he would sit patiently in silence all the same and simply wait, ideally without expectations.

Franz Kafka had a similar observation:

“You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.”

And in this space we become available for this force that is behind us at higher levels of our awareness to come through and create and to express the truest essence of ourselves. And one day we may learn to live from this force in each moment of our lives and have it guide our every action and endeavor, our creativity, our choices, spontaneously and correctly because this guidance is in the most perfect alignment with who we really are and with the universe that it is possible to achieve. Because these actions emanate through us from our higher consciousness which is at the level of universal consciousness itself.

Ultimately we can live from this force in every moment of our lives. For many of us our lives are obstructing this force, but that statement is not exactly true. What is really occurring is that we are obstructing this force working through us, and our minds are simply a reflection of this internal obstruction.

To change this is a simple yet consistent process akin to the practice of yoga. Through yoga we enter poses that unblock energy that has been either trapped or become stagnant within us, and by doing so it increases the flow of energy within our body (by removing these blocks) but also by helping us to align with and connect to universal energy which, over time, begins to flow throughout our bodies and animate us on a much higher frequency, as it is meant to. For we are cosmic, spiritual, universal, or galactic beings. Whichever word resonates most closely with you.

We are the focal point of infinite, universal consciousness, and our bodies and our individuality is a projection of that consciousness. And that consciousness is accessible within us all and is an immeasurable and enormous force that is waiting to act through each of us to accomplish and manifest all that we already desire to be and become.

We only need to awaken to this higher consciousness and come into alignment with it. And through us it will work miracles exactly in alignment with who we knew we were and could become all along, and yet in ways beyond what we could imagine.

So just like in the practice of yoga, all that we need to do is practice creating space in our lives, and then from this space the true expression of ourselves – and much higher energy/consciousness – emanates. And it gradually unblocks the energy that is stagnant in our lives, thereby restructuring our lives, as it guides us (our energy) into new actions, new habits, new thoughts, new emotions, new experiences, new relationships, and possibly even to new paths altogether.

Realizing An Extraordinary Life

About 80% of people dislike what they do every day, and this is why, because they never create the space for their true nature to come through and inspire them to a new course of action and to a new path that is their true calling. And this would spontaneously and irreparably break that daily routine that presently defines them, but which really distorts and imprisons them because it obstructs their true nature and their true purpose.

To a degree we are imprisoned by our actions and our habits because so much of the time they are arbitrarily chosen from our habitual internal dialogue instead of from higher consciousness and a place of inspiration. Or we simply repeat what we did yesterday because that’s is how we learned to live, behave, think, feel and act when we were young, even though it didn’t satisfy us then nor is it bringing us closer towards our dreams. And sometimes we become so stuck in our ways and our routines and there is no outside force that is acting upon us which will dislodge our routines and set us on a new path towards self-realization and self-actualization of the deepest dreams and most enormous power that is lying at wait within each and every one of us.

Creating space, both through meditation and through a literal space in our daily lives, opens us up to just such a force. Except that force is really an internal force, and it is higher consciousness. And when we become available for higher consciousness by creating space and allowing for it, then our actions truly change because instead of working towards bliss, balance, inspiration, exhilaration, and enthusiasm, we live from it.

All our actions are then infused with these energetic/emotional qualities because those qualities where what inspired that action. This is precisely what Wayne Dyer meant when he said:

“There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.”

Your thoughts, emotions, and actions determines your life. Of that there is no question. But your habits alone are not the most important thing. Establishing habits for the sake of establishing them and because you think they will get you to where you desire to go is not the most effective course of action and it probably won’t work.

Instead strive to achieve higher consciousness and then create space for this higher consciousness to spontaneously inspire you to a course of action. And when you get in this universal creative flow, all the bonds of your life will be broken and you will find yourself living an extraordinary life and experiencing the six qualities of an extraordinary life at levels you never thought where possible for you.

Just like in yoga however, this is a gradual process. And it is one which will take place over a period of time, therefore it requires your commit to it. Your life will not change in a day. But if you begin to open up to higher consciousness, this new energy will begin to slowly and incrementally infuse your life and help you to express your energy in such a way that unblocks the energetic blocks and stagnant energy in your life to allow energy to flow as it is directed where it needs to be directed for you to grow.

You too can achieve these six qualities of balance, bliss, love, rapture, inspiration and peace. It is your birthright, and it is in your very nature to live from these emotions. Indeed it is your fundamental nature. And to do so, above all other potential habits, establish the daily practice of silence. And when inspiration calls, when genius whispers to you in the space between your thoughts, listen to it.
