Written by Excerpt from e2012 Series: Shoud V - The Gift

1. Beyond the Mind

One of our biggest challenge in this time is going beyond the mind, going beyond the voices that are constantly chattering away, to be open for feeling and therefore open to new ideas and ways of doing things. It seems difficult, yes, but we have a place within ourselves that many call their soul. What is it, how can it be done? Just decide to go with your experience which is also the passion, the feeling and the heart and allow your grander identity to make your aquaintance.

As explained in the e2012 Series: Shoud V - The Gift: So it comes down to really understanding the difference between your thought and a feeling, a mental activity and your true passion. It comes down to the difference between having to make logic of things versus just feeling and experiencing those things. Artists, those with the true artistic expression, abilities -   everybody has abilities, but those who are using it will find it easier. They kind of understand. Let’s say you’re painting something, you’re not really thinking about it; you’re experiencing the feelings with it. Now, part of your mind is functioning, picking the different colors and having to manipulate or handle – not manipulate, but manage – your brushes, and the lighting in the room and everything else, but suddenly you get into a flow and into a feeling.

2. Rules

We are not talking about rules and regulations of the government etc., we are talking about rules about yourself. There are many more rules that you carry around about yourself that you are aware of: The rule/idea on how you need to dress, the rule about how you should be, the rule about what you can or can not do, your do's and don'ts, how you look at your life, how your life has to be so that it can seem happy to you. Many of these rules have become rigid and you are not flexible in it anymore to move anyway you want at any point of time.

Of course, it does not mean that you have to start an anarchy or confront other people with it, this is not what is is about. It is about you being comfortable in your skin again and express it in a way that does not need to confront others.

3. Trust

So trust is one of the biggest issues. A lot of people are going to stumble right there. They’re going to get through number one and two, and they’re going to hit trust. They don’t understand it.

They may want it. It may sound good, but they don’t understand it – what it’s really like to trust yourself – and there are so many things occurring to bring you out of trust. 

It’s almost like everything in … they’ve created this reality out there that is all about mistrust. It’s been done through choice, belief systems, the way they attract energies, so now they’ve created their world of mistrust. They’re living within it. So everything now tells them that there is mistrust, especially with themselves. 

It’s a very difficult one, because energy is quite literal to consciousness, and when there is the mistrust, it creates more mistrust and now you live in a world of mistrust. How does one get out of that? How does one truly get back into trusting themselves? When everything that is happening to them – suddenly, they walk away from a great conversation with you about trust, they walk out the door, slip on the ice and break their leg – what do you think’s going to happen? Well, they’re going to go back to mistrusting. 

How many of you have had similar experiences? You’ve been to a workshop or a gathering of some sort or you’ve just read an inspiring book or had something inspiring in your life, and literally the next moment the phone rings and it’s bad news or you slip and fall or whatever it might be. And what happens? You go back to the thinking and you get back to mistrusting. And then you wonder maybe this wasn’t for you. Maybe Spirit’s trying to tell you something. Maybe you’re on the wrong track and you contract. 

So trust is a good one, but how does one learn to trust themselves? 

How does one learn or experience trusting with themselves? 

Because you’re asking them to trust, which is a difficult thing to do. They do, to an extent, but trust is like … trust is trusting the small limited tube that they live within when there is a lot of things outside of that. Trust is actually contraction, because people, in a way, they contract themselves. They create a very limited – and what they would think is mostly safe – environment, and they don’t step out of that. They live in a small room within a big mansion, and they don’t know the rest of it exists. 

So the trust is actually, for many, a limitation. “I’m going to live small, because I can control it and manage it.” And ask them to trust that there is a mansion outside of that room that they live within? Trust that these other rooms in the mansion – if that mansion is really there – are not filled with alligators and tigers and warlocks? These are all … and I’m not disagreeing, but I’m just saying feel into the average person or even slightly above average. 

4. Releasing Expectations 

Before trust can be fully experienced, it’s releasing any expectations of what an outcome will be.  Are people willing to do that? A little bit.  A little bit. Semi. They say, “To a degree,” but they say, “That’s why I’m in the game, the expectation. So why release all that?” 

It’s interesting. As every one of you knows intimately, in the process of releasing and ultimately trusting, accepting, loving yourself, you went through hell – or not – but you went through things in your life that the normal human would think are bizarre. You went through experiences – whether it was losing your job or relationship, having something affect your health or whatever it happened to be – not your typical type of what you would call a positive human experience. But, ultimately, you realized that was necessary. That needed to go. You needed to have that connection with the soul self and its input, not just the seven-year-old human. 

5. Reassurance

“It’s going to be okay.” The soul lives forever. The soul is having a grand experience. And bills? Eh, doesn’t matter. It’s going to be okay. Maybe you’ll pay them, maybe you don’t. Maybe you find a new relationship, maybe you don’t. It’s going to be okay. You learn to love yourself. You’re going to realize you don’t really need the money. You have all the energy you need. It’s going to be okay. 

All is well in all of Creation and things do work themselves out in time.

6. Embrace Change

Allow change. Stay flexible, because change keeps you unstuck. It’s inevitable. So if you’re actually allowing it or even choosing it in some small ways, it makes it easier, actually, for it to flow through your life. 

Why do humans not like change? It’s uncomfortable. You don’t know. And I go back to my analogy – living in a small room with no windows within a huge beautiful mansion, but they’ve isolated themselves in a room, because it’s manageable. It’s controllable. They’ve learned how to handle that. These other rooms in the mansion are just overwhelming, unknown, uncertain. 

But you talk about change, and change is a wonderful thing. Thank God for change – thank yourself for change – that there is this natural evolution process that you really can’t go backwards. You really can’t, no matter how hard some of you have tried. The change is inevitable. So, but when you tell people “Allow change,” and they’re going to say to you what? 

“What kind of change?” 

It could be anything, but I guess what I would say is that if you can actually allow change just in small ways in your life – break up routines, choose small differences, daily stuff – then other changes that might be coming through, like changes in you lose your job, you lose your partner, whatever, all of those are going to be a bit easier. 

So it’s not just allowing, but it’s actually embracing it and rejoicing in it, and it’s amazing. And there’s still going to be the concern that they only want good change. 

Isn’t it important to help them understand sometimes if the arm of the pendulum is like this, just frozen, it’s not moving – a lot of humans have that energy, there’s not a lot of swing there – once it starts going, it’s going to go both ways, to both ways of their judgments. Some, what they consider good; some they consider bad. It comes back to the point of trust. Can you just let that pendulum flow? 

It comes back to the question that they’re going to have is who’s making that pendulum move? Is it being manipulated by some other being, even “the soul,” who is distant and removed for most people, or God or their spirit guides or a group of angels? So it comes down to who’s making it move. It comes down then to the understanding they really are, but they’re just denying it. 

7. Laugh

As said by Garret: "Because you’re going to laugh about it in a year, why not laugh about it now?"

You’re going to need it this year. You’re going to want it. Why not? Why not?! And, you know, when you hear some of the crazy things, don’t be so sanctimonious and sacred about it. Laugh about it. There’s going to be some crazy things – laugh about it – in your own life or in the world. They’re just changes that are occurring. They really are. 

8. Dreams

Sometimes this concept of dreams and goals they cross over each other a bit. I’m not a fan of goals or a lot of planning – I realize some activities you have to manage details – but in a broader sense. I’m not a big fan of goals, because you’re setting usually mental and oftentimes unrealistic expectations for yourself. 

However, dreams are from the heart. Dreams are open, without having to go through a series of steps to get there with a defined outcome. Dreams have no closure at the back. Dreams are open. They continue to expand, whereas a goal is very linear. It stops at a certain point. 

Dreams are held by so many of you in another realm – the daydreams, the feeling into things, the imagining things – but they’re out there. They’re outside the tube that we’re going to talk about in just a minute. You don’t bring them in. 

I think this is perhaps the most important thing for this year – integrating your dreams – because in your dreams is your soul, is your wisdom, are your potentials. Dreams are potentials. Your soul is potential. So integrating your dreams, bringing them into this reality. 

Now, that doesn’t mean that you then have to try to plan the dreams and try to force and work the dreams. Just let them flow in. It doesn’t mean that you need to suddenly – if you had a dream about dancing on a big stage in France, but you’re 78 years old – it doesn’t mean you need to actually go do that. See, that’s where you get mental and linear. You can have that dream and the essence of it, and do it without ever having to travel. You can have that dynamic in your life, integrated with you. 

Once you start integrating, you’ll realize it doesn’t have to be fulfilled on a physical stage; it could be. It doesn’t have to be on a big stage in Paris; you could create your own stage. It doesn’t have to be done literally, as the mind would sometimes say you have to do it. You look underneath the surface for the symbolic energy. 

The symbolic energy is more about the expression, the joy, the singing, the sharing with people. That’s the symbol. The literal part would be saying, “I have to go to Paris and I have to do it at this theater on this date, and …” That’s where the frustration comes in and the anxiety, and that’s where the mistrust comes in, because if it doesn’t happen then you think you did something wrong. 

When you feel into your dreams and you integrate them, you suddenly realize the specific doesn’t matter. You look in the underlying energy – singing, joy, creativity, sharing, energy, movement – those are the important things. Suddenly, you’ll realize that the literal – what you thought was literal – having to be at a specific place with a specific number of people, was irrelevant. Irrelevant. 

9. Follow your Heart

Now, if you’ve noticed by now, we’re getting a lot of these answers that are very compatible, but yet in a way in their own contradiction. You follow your heart, well, you have to have trust to do that. It’s difficult to follow your heart if you don’t trust. And people will tell you, “I tried that once, and it was a disaster. I ended up with this bum. We ended up getting married, and,” you know, “It’s the last thing in the world …” No, no. That’s following your genitals, not your heart. That’s two different things! 

But oftentimes, people follow their heart and then get in trouble. Why? Why? 

Because so many of the other parts of themselves are still on a linear, mental dimension. You’ve got part of them that’s following the heart, but the big part following another path – those don’t always work together. Sooner or later, they, like you, they will learn that it can all be from the heart, and then it’s all moving, expanding compatibly, simultaneously. But when a person first starts to follow their heart, they send off that one ray or that one energy experience into the heart, it can be very difficult at first. And then they retreat back into their little room and say, “That didn’t work. That’s a bunch of crap.” 

10. Beware of Drama

It’s going to be out there like crazy this year. And actually “Beware of Drama – parentheses – where no drama necessarily existed before. Drama is going to find its way into every blank space. Drama’s going to find its way into every moment of boredom. It’s going to try to find its way into every crevice of the mind this year. 

People are going to be overwhelmed by it, but if you simply tell them, “Beware of the drama, you don’t need to participate. You don’t need to be there,” and then it’s their choice. But remind them that the energies are high. It’s like having an electrical fence. You don’t need to go and grab it by your hand. You can just understand that it is a charged fence. It has some electric going through it. Go through the opening in the gate. Don’t grab onto the fence and try to go through that way.

11. Simple and Easy

Simple and easy. Now, and I really mean this for you and anybody else looking at this list, you can do it either way – difficult, struggling, hard – which many people choose, because they’re so conditioned to it. It’s implanted in here (head). They automatically equate success with struggle. There’s a phrase that you use – “no pain, no gain” – and people believe it. They shake their heads. Absolutely. 

What if you could have no pain when you’re working out and have a perfectly fit body? “Well, that’s not possible. No. You have to work hard.” Well, you take that same analogy into regular life. So many people feel they have to struggle. They have to do it the difficult way. 

Particularly, for you Shaumbra, in this year, there are intense energies. They can be grand, beautiful, wonderful experiences, and you can either do it the easy way, the efficient way, or the hard way. It’s not predetermined. It’s totally up to you or any other human who would see this list. It doesn’t have to be difficult. Some of you – and I’m not looking at anyone (laughter as he covers his eyes) – are still doing it the difficult way, and you don’t have to. And I’m amazed sometimes. 

A funny thing is when we – and I’m truly not trying to single anybody out; Cauldre’s worried that I’m looking at somebody in particular, I’m looking at all of you – sometimes we have these long arguments – private arguments between us – and I say “Why don’t you just do it the easy way?” “Yeah, well, but I can’t and this is and they said that, and that’s going to …” and I say “Wow! You are really picking the tough way.” There’s no reason for it. 

The energies are intense, but they’re not bad. They’re not angry energies. They’re not suffering energies. They’re not a big load on your shoulders. I got a kick – when I started saying the energies are going to be intense this year, huge potentials coming in – some of you are just like “Ohhhh,” cringing and feeling it energetically on you. They’re not! They’re wonderful energies. They’re amazing energies! And they’re very simple. 

12. Many Layers 

First of all, be layered in everything you do. 

There’s a tendency to be linear. You look at things from one perspective. You go along that perspective – a train going along the track – and that’s all you know is the track. That’s all you will have created in your perception of reality is the track that the train’s on. And when somebody comes along and says, “Why don’t you take the train off the track?” You say, “Oh my god, you can’t do that! That would be a disaster. It would crash.” Well, no, not really, because perhaps that train would suddenly transform into an airplane, and then you wouldn’t need a track. You could fly. And then suddenly when you thought, “Well, I have to get off the runway now,” well, you transform and it turns into a river or a lake and you’re in a boat. And it can happen that fast and that easy. 

So this year, as these amazing energies are incoming, be multi-layered. When you encounter a problem, when you run into something, when you get stuck and you’re frustrated, stop at that moment. There are layers above, below, to the sides, everywhere. Don’t take the old linear path. 

Everything. Your relationships are multi-layered, even though you’re living them rather singularly. You’re living them in a very linear way. 

Your body. You say, “Well, here’s my body. This is what it needs to eat. This is how I have to treat it.” No. Go into another layer. How do you do that? Well, you take a deep breath. You let yourself expand beyond what you would hold as your reality. Take a deep breath and say, “I know there’s more out there, and I’m going to expand out to it.” Therefore, it happens. It does. 

Everything that happens this year of concern, whether it’s in your personal life or whether it’s on a global scale, I want you to look beyond the surface. We talked about this on the brilliant radio show the other night with Astrodoc and with dear Linda of Eesa.2 And this was a set-up, in a way, a good se-up, meaning that there’s medical issues, and you say, “I know somebody that has cancer or diabetes,” or any of these things. And you say, “So what’s the medical advice? What should I do?” 

Well, the medicine is part of it, because you do want to address that [physical] imbalance. But you want to understand what lies below the surface energetically or above or to the sides. What is the energetic cause of diabetes? Loss of love, no sweetness in your life, no love of yourself – it’s so simple. So simple. 

Now, you combine that with the medical aspect. Let’s say there is no sweetness in your life. Because you don’t love yourself, you’re going to reflect that; you’re not going to have people that love you. I’m not saying that’s you, but anybody can be an example. 

So suddenly you get diabetes because you’re not giving yourself love, therefore, you’re not creating it to come back to you through other people or yourself. So you have to address the medical, and sometimes right away, otherwise you might find yourself on the other side. But you want to address the energy of that as well. The two work together, you see.
