Rock Your World with Master Jesus

  Aired Nov 12, 2014  To Listen, hit arrow in MIDDLE of this page

Jesus Rocked his world, 2,000 years ago; 

he ushered in a whole new vibration and a new paradigm of Divine Connection. 

Jesus WAS Light, Way, Truth, Life in his world, and he calls US to Do the Same...in our own way. 


Let's tune into Jesus spiritually: 

receive his wisdom and insights for us, 

and most importantly his spiritual frequency 

- So we can ROCK our life, and our world, today




 .

Jesus says: Build your Life on Rock: tune-in to Your OWN Soul Information

  Aired Jan 14, 2015  To Listen, hit arrow in MIDDLE of this page


How do we find our path? 

Who do we listen to? 

On what do we build our life? 


Jesus said we are blessed when we open to our own Soul Information directly from the Living God; 

to live this Way is to build our lives on Rock. 

This is how Jesus operated, and what he implored us to do: 


Each of us CAN continually open our own spiritual ears, eyes; 

trust ourselves and God ever more deeply; 

and build our spiritual muscles to walk our own unique Way in this world.

Jesus Shares the Keys to the Kingdom with Us: Authority & Tools to shift Heaven & Earth 

  Aired Feb 23, 2015. To Listen, hit arrow in MIDDLE of this page


Archimedes said, if you have a lever long enough, you can move the world. 

As spiritual beings in this world, moving our world is our privilege and our joy 

But, most of us don't know how 


So it can be game-changing for us to receive keys, spiritual tools, to help us powerfully leverage our Spiritual Authority. 

Jesus can show us the Way, he said, 

"I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest loose on the earth shall be loosed in the heavens."

We Die and we Rise to New Life: our Soul Journey as Disciples of Jesus 

  Aired Mar 24, 2015. To Listen, hit arrow in MIDDLE of this page


If you just want to just re-arrange chairs on the Titanic, then just keep doing what you are doing. 

But, if you want to turn the Titanic - big change is in order 

That is gonna take some ego-death, some changes in how you BE and what you DO. 


Jesus is a really great friend to have for that process 

The Dying and Rising part of following Jesus, is hard it's true, but really it's a huge Gift 

Letting Go, Surrendering, is Key. 


Many Religious folks want us to believe that following God means being Good and staying out of trouble 

but really it is the opposite, 

God doesn't play by our rules, or any rules. 


So, following God's leading sends us on a collision course with the tyrants of our inner and our outer world. 

Following Jesus requires willingness - we can't just go on automatic pilot 

Operating from spiritual leading rather than physical info and habits, is a big shift. 


But it is well-worth paying attention, amazing stuff happens in our lives, and the world around us

Ascended Master Jesus: Our Golden Inspiration




Many people have opinions for, against and about Jesus; but most don't actually KNOW HIM, at all.

Regardless of how judgmental and boring some folks portray Jesus in modern America, that is not at all my experience of him. For me, and many folks I know, Jesus is fun, he is laid-back and easy to be with, he is incredibly validating, he is powerful, and he is a wonderful guide and role-model for us to live in present-time, in alignment with God and live lives filled with delightful and delicious, spiritual gifts and abilities.

By working directly with Jesus you can learn to:
  • Raise your vibration and let go of the past, other's energies, and heavy, dark vibrations;
  • Validate your connection as spirit to your body, to the Earth and to the God-of-Your-Heart;
  • Utilize gold vibration to realize divinity on earth, as well as to heal, own clean and present-time your system;
  • Allow emotional healing and become less judgmental by utilizing the spiritual perspective of neutrality.


I encourage you to:
  • Clear other's opinions and religious information about Jesus, and
  • Get to know this powerful, high-energy Master for yourself.  
  • When we come into a present-time, spiritual relationship with Jesus, we gain a friend and guide for life!

Ascended Master Sabrina: BEing Playful, Malleable, and Free


 
Sabrina is a Very high-vibration Master, lost to history, but available to us!

She Brings her tremendous spiritually-focused, creative LIFE into this world.
She shows us what it is like to be free, graceful, ease-full 
in a world where heavy, serious and significant are confused with maturity.

She occurs to me often as a child, and as such: 
playful, imaginative, able to turn-on-a-dime.
She also occurs to me often like a lenticular (standing) cloud, and as such: 
adaptable, magically changeable, and not earth-bound.

She helps us expereince in our bodies, in our lives, in this reality, in this world 
our ability to be free, to have fun, to not be weighed-down.

She is great friends with Jesus, and it is so easy to see in her many of the things Jesus spoke-of, which many of us have trouble hearing from him.  Of course, this is the most obvious example:
I tell you the truth, unless you turn around and become like little children, you will never enter the reign of the heavens (spiritual reality).


Create your world, like a child playing in a sandbox

Our imagination is Everything.
Then all we need to DO is PLAY our creations into Reality.

Yes, we create what we expereince;
but also WHO we BE while we create IS our experience:

Are we angry? fearful? joyful? easeful?
Then THAT is our experience:
our Creativity AND our creations in this world.

Skipping and Light IS the secret to Life

Come SEE the world as a place of great play and amazing malleability.
Easy, Free, Easy, Fun, Easy.

Experience the Excitement and Aliveness of high-vibration experience!
When we are FULL of Light, we are impelled into Action - bringing Light into our World.

Let Go of all concepts and habits around what it is to be an adult... 
an allegedly responsible person in the world.
Receive BACK your Free-will, your Birthright - the essence of YOU.

We can experience our lives in a child-likeness 
that can naturally shift our consciousness from 
hard to easy, stuck to skipping,  heavy to light, curse to blessing

Meet Ascended Master Sabrina: lost to history, but available to us!
Sabrina is a Very high-vibration Ascended Master, 
bringing her tremendous spiritually-focused, creative LIFE into this world.

She shows us what it is like to be free, graceful, ease-full 
in a world where heavy, serious and significant are confused with maturity.

Forgiveness: Not by might nor by power, but by Spirit




Most of us have tried to forgive in the past, to varied success;  we end up:
  • thinking about it,
  • complaining about it,
  • feeling crappy & stewing about it,
  • re-living it,
  • yelling or crying about it,
  • TRYING to let go of it!

Although I have been known to indulge in the above activities, I have found another way that Really works for me: 
Allowing the blessing, the ENERGY of forgiveness into my system. 
When I spiritually allow-in forgiveness vibration, it miraculously shifts my energy:
  • my thoughts,
  • my feelings,
  • my Resistance to letting-go of the past,
  • my Attachment to my pain, hurt, anger, resentment and
  • my pictures of what I think I need for a ‘fair’ conclusion. 

All this begins to melt away,
and a more delicious experience grows within me,
as I allow this spiritual blessing IN and my vibration shifts.

.
For me forgiving others is hard enough, forgiving myself is the really difficult part!
What about you? 

Trying hard to forgive (myself or others) never got me very far,
rather I have found the miraculous power of forgiveness truly is by Grace, not by force of will.



We are constantly being showered with mighty blessings,
which we rarely let IN...
HOW do we experientially allow blessings? 

How about try this:
to let in this energy, it can be as straightforward as being grounded and present,
then asking for the spiritual blessing of Forgiveness, by allowing a waterfall of Forgiveness energy from the Universe into my body and the space around me.

This may take practice, it may require some help BTW
- this isn't how we are trained - but TRY it!

From here, IN the vibration of Forgiveness,
we have the potential to shift, sometimes subtly, sometimes profoundly.

This higher vibration can fill us with the blessing of forgiveness,
and wash-out all the other detritus.
It can be that easy to shift spiritually, if we let it. 

Ascended Master, Mother Mary is my go-to Master for forgiveness. 
Ask her to assist you to heal and forgive. 
You can intend to learn from Mary spiritually/vibrationally/monkey-see, monkey-do, about forgiveness.

This may take practice, it may require some help BTW
- this isn't how we are trained - but TRY it!

Meanwhile, the Ascended Master whom I know best regarding his physical life, is Jesus.
Jesus spoke about forgiveness, a lot actually.
One thing he said that kind of wraps-up his perspective for me, is:
“in what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged.”

I used to think of this saying as a tit-for-tat kind of thing:
  • A Judge sitting there, looking at what I did and having me ‘reap what I have sown’.  
  • If I was/wasn’t willing to share my toy, then the Cosmic-Cop would increase or limit my access to more toys ; )
That isn't it, at all!



It turns out that the very-same judgement that I live-in and I allow for others, Really Is what is applied to me.
But, having looked at this with my spiritual senses for quite a while now, I have a very different perspective on the mechanisms behind this process. 

God / the Universe / Karma(what I reap, I sow) isn’t rewarding or punishing me! 
It is a matter of the vibration I am inhabiting. 

From my perspective, the waterfall practice/analogy is really powerful here.
What I notice spiritually is:
  •  If I am in the waterfall of Forgiveness,
    • all those around me are in it as well – they have to be! 
  • If I allow you to be in a waterfall of forgiveness,
    • then I am in it too – I have to be! 

So what I allow for myself, you get. 
What I allow for you, I get. 
It is that simple.

.
This is not only a tremendous key in our forgiveness process, in my experience,
but in all aspects of our lives: love, peace, joy, trust, healing…

The vibrations I allow for myself, you get. 
The blessings I allow for you, I get. 
What an easy, beautiful way to transform our world!

.
Ok, so back to forgiveness. 
The way my spiritual senses perceive Forgiveness,
the vibration is very similar to other vibrations I associate with Mother Mary:
  • Validation, 
  • Truth, 
  • Certainty, 
  • Gratefulness,
  • Healing that is an experience of the Wholeness we Already (spiritually) Are;
  • and an associated energy - Acceptance.
This seemed really strange at first,
because from a body-perspective,
from my experiential, intellectual and emotional perspective,
these ideas had been very different things for me.

But, eventually I realized what they had in common:
They are all about ‘Being with what IS.’

ASIDE
Since we live in the society we do - I must add:
these energies/practices are about our soul rising, not falling.
- These are spiritual warrior energies.
- They are not wimpy, doormat, putting up with...
- There are No victim games in these energies - in these vibrations, spiritually we are already conquerors.
END ASIDE




Powerfully, spiritually ‘BEING with what IS’ opens up a whole new world to us.
Many of us are fighting, judging and resisting what IS.
It is can be life-changing to start allowing the energy of ‘Being with what IS’ to shift our vibration, as well as how we experience ourselves and our world.

I work with energy.  I believe, practice and experience that when we shift our energy (change spiritually), everything inside us and around us changes.
And it does.
We create our lives from the inside-out.

And, at the same time,
it can assist us to change our mind, change our heart, change our experience,
when we deal with things from the outside-in.

There is much wisdom in the world to support us in this process of ‘BEING with what IS’.
One that has been a useful tool for me is The Work of Byron Katie.
One of her books is called ‘Loving What Is’.

From the other side: for years now, I have one of her quotes right by my bed, so I see it when I sleep and when I rise:
‘Stop arguing with what IS!’
… How Powerful is THAT?!



Ok, so back to forgiveness.
Isn’t it interesting to apply the distinctions and power of ‘BEING with what IS’ to Forgiveness?
Well, I think it is!

What I have noticed, as a spiritual healer for the last decade:
at its core, Forgiveness really is fundamentally ‘BEING with what IS’ on every level of our being.

What they did, what I did, what happened, how that affected me, them, the world….
this can just become a FACT, a past-reality;
without a big-long story, without a truck-load of emotionality attached.

I really can stop suffering, stop living in the past, and just BE;
and I can let them do the same.

Amazingly, the healing progression over time can end up in ‘Loving What Is’.
It really can.
And the process is not because we are mighty forgiveness machines, or because we power/fight-through it, it is by allowing the spiritual gift of forgiveness.

I would enjoy sharing so many more blessings about forgiveness, for ourselves, for others; 
but that is enough for now.

I hope you allow you and your world to be continually blessed,
by playing with Mother Mary,
and letting-in waterfalls of forgiveness.

And I trust some of the things I said above can assist you to move along in your process of allowing forgiveness:
for yourself and for others.
I pray you are that much more open to savor LIFE!

Blessings on your unique path, Wendy

Shifting Consciousness, Spiritually, with Jesus




When Problems/challenges arise,
it helps me to remember that God is SO Big,
even when my vision and resources feel So small, sometimes.

When I try to fix my life, or figure out who I should be, or what I have to do - I often stay stuck.
But, when I spiritually MATCH JESUS... put on the Mind of Christ: spiritual perspective, Christ Consciousness;
Everything Shifts inside me and in my world, naturally, effortlessly.

When I Try to be Good, to Act Loving, to Perform as I believe Jesus would have:
I get off track - Because I am being physically focused, no matter how 'holy' my intention.
When I focus spiritually, bring my spiritual eyes back on Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith, everything changes in and for me.

I am Not speaking of focusing on the Jesus of Religion, of Christian Faith and Practice, of Ethics or the Bible.
I am Not relying on who I think Jesus was or what I think he did when he walked the earth...
I AM speaking rather of who Jesus is Now, as spirit:  always spiritually present with us, available to each of us now, in intimate relationship, in spiritual communion.

From this spiritual perspective, 
problems/challenges are an invitation
back to my spiritual center: alignment with God and my unique path.

My challenge is:
  • Really Allowing God's abundant, limitless blessings IN, and
  • Allowing my eyes to shift from:
    • flesh: my body, my needs, my shortfalls/brokenness and my myopia;
    • to spirit: living as Jesus, as God's Way, Truth, Love, Life, Light manifest in our world.

SO many of us Mean to do all this, Think about this, Sometimes feel this and sometimes don't.
We hunger for God; to experience God's Blessings, Fruit, Leading and Manifestation in our lives, and in our world.
And many of us struggle with HOW to do this.  

THIS is the focus of my ministry: HOW to do this.  
Jesus, and all the other Ascended Masters, can assist, inspire, lead us, magnetize us to do this:
To continually turn from physical to spiritual focus, and allow God's Blessings IN!
And then our unsolvable problems, become challenges that are blessings in disguise.

AMEN

Jesus says: Throw Caution to the Wind!

.
I want to start by saying, that regardless of how lily-livered, judgmental, and boring some folks portray Jesus in modern America, that is not at all my experience of him. For me, to put it bluntly, Jesus is kick-ass! For me, and many folks I know, Jesus is fun, he is laid-back and easy to be with, he is incredibly validating, he is powerful, and he is a wonderful guide & role-model to living in: present-time, alignment with God, filled with delightful and delicious spiritual gifts & abilities.

I come from a Christian background, and I have a great appreciation for some of the Christian scriptures. I wrote to my Christian students and friends as encouragement about a year ago, in my excitement about a particular scripture. Meanwhile, I was talking to a spiritual friend of mine who knows very little about Christian scripture the other day, and sharing about this particular scripture. He was really interested and excited about this message. So I thought I would post here in the hopes that some might find this information useful and hopefully inspiring in a general spiritual context…

I am addressing Matthew 6:19-34, which is attached below if you are interested. I am putting my commentary up front, so you don’t have to wade through the whole passage if you aren’t so inclined. I am basically utilizing Christian language and paradigms in this post – please do the translation to your own tradition, for yourself or ask me to translate for you ; )

1)
"Be not therefore careful (anxious), saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or What shall we put on?"

Jesus hammers on not being careful - take a chance on God - throw caution to the wind!

What Jesus says (which is very often the case) flies in the face of *what everyone knows*, very often what our parents teach us and want for us to do in our lives... and what we teach our children...

in this case:
* BE CAREFUL, SAFE
* LIVE YOUR LIFE TO TAKE CARE OF BASIC NEEDS - FOR NOW AND FOR THE FUTURE…
* BE RESPONSIBLE!!!!!

and here Jesus is strongly exhorting the opposite:
* let go, let God;
* be here now, today;
* focus on your spiritual path and relationship with God and everything else will come into line…


.
2)
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God (the reign of God) and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you."

The bible says that righteousness is being in ‘right relationship’ with God, being in alignment with God. (“Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness”- Galatians 3:6; also see Genesis 15:6; Romans 4:9; Romans 4:22; James 2:23)

Abraham was righteous in that he heard the direct voice of God and (generally) kept faith in what God told him, in the face of much contrary physical evidence, over a long period of time… And was very blessed in the process: physically and spiritually. Yes, he was also challenged: he lived a very exciting life. So do we, on our own unique spiritual journey.

.
3)
"The lamp of the body is the eye; if therefore thine eye be single (perfect), thy whole body will be light (enlightened)"

One of the practices in my tradition is: focusing ourselves spiritually into the center of our head – behind the “3rd eye” – this invites spiritual light into our physical body.

From this spiritually-focused place, we enjoy our spiritual sight (that Jesus so often referred to). We can more easily behold and reflect the glory of the Lord. (“And we all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting as a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory.” - 2 Corinthians 3:16-18)

This shines the Light of God into and through our body. This changes our perception as well as our experience of everything inside and outside of us: switches it to a spiritual Point of View. It helps us find our way - our unique spiritual path deeper and deeper in God, as well as our unique path in this world.

I find it wonderful, in the middle of a section on HOW to LIVE in this world, this verse may seem tangential... but I think it is central! HOW do we live? We live as spirit, from our spiritual information, in focused connection with God: directed from Spiritual insight, not from the outside, from the inside... From there, and only from that place of experiential alignment with God and God's Light, Way, Truth, Life... we live in righteousness, abundance, peace, ease...

blessings on your hopefully un-careful journey,
as well as hopefully un-care-full journey

Matthew 6:19-34

This is Darby Translation (with random reiterations from Young’s Literal Translation)
{and a couple insertions from me, when I couldn’t help myself ; }

.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust spoils, and where thieves dig through and steal;

but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust spoils, and where thieves do not dig through nor steal;
{I see heaven is the spiritual realm, as opposed to physical realm}

for where thy treasure is, there will be also thy heart.

The lamp of the body is the eye; if therefore thine eye be single (perfect), thy whole body will be light (enlightened):
{perfect may point to whole or mature}

but if thine eye be wicked (evil), thy whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great the darkness!
{wicked or evil may point to being out of alignment with God}

No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and will love the other, or he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon (Ye are not able to serve God and Mammon).
{Mammon refers to wealth or money – but it is treated like an idol or a god - i.e. the god of money, worshiping wealth…}

For this cause I say unto you, Do not be careful about (anxious for) your life, what ye should eat and what ye should drink; nor for your body what ye should put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment?

Look at the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, nor reap, nor gather into granaries, and your heavenly Father nourishes them. Are *ye* not much more excellent than they?

But which of you by carefulness (being anxious) can add to his growth one cubit?

And why are ye careful (anxious) about clothing? Observe with attention the lilies of the field, how they grow: they toil (labor) not, neither do they spin;

but I say unto you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed (arrayed) as one of these.

But if God so clothe the herbage of the field, which is to-day, and to-morrow is cast into [the] oven (furnace), will he not much rather you, O [ye] of little faith?

Be not therefore careful (anxious), saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or What shall we put on?

for all these things the nations seek after; for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God (the reign of God) and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
{Kingdom or reign reminds me of seniority, I certainly read it as referring to the spiritual realm.}

Be not careful (anxious) therefore for the morrow, for the morrow shall be careful (anxious) about itself. Sufficient to the day [is] its own evil (the evil of it).

This Square is Circling around again

7 years ago, when I started seminary, I was SO MAD at Jesus, I didn’t even want to relate to him. When we were asked to spiritually work with him, learn from him, ask him to assist us, etc – I worked with someone else on the spiritual level, because on a deep level, I really didn’t want to have anything to do with Jesus.

(I should say that within a year or so, that had completely changed. It took some investment in our relationship, and allowing God to heal me in a myriad of ways, but I am grateful to report that for a long time now, I have an ever-deepening, respectful, playful & loving relationship with Jesus, and we work Really well together!! I can’t say enough about how amazing he is ; )

But, back then, for many years, I was very mad at Jesus. And, worse, the reasons I was angry had absolutely nothing to do with him. It was all to do with my relationship to Jesus’ followers... Christians.

I couldn’t stand how ‘Christians’ were (in many public ways) behaving in the world, and I blamed Jesus.

More importantly, I was really hurt and angry about how I had been treated by many Christians, and I blamed Jesus.


Since my late teens, I did my best to follow where God led me. God led me to do and be and believe in many ways that are generally unpopular for Christians. So I ‘took a lot of crap’ from Christians. I gave some back, too ; )

• Part of this was just my path, I had to follow my path, and it was off the ‘beaten-track’. I had to be willing to do God’s will, whether it was popular or unpopular, whether it was in alignment with what I, and Christians in general, thought I ‘Should Be,' or not.

• Part of this was, I had to be re-trained. There are things that most Christians just know to be true: certain ways of speaking, being, understanding spirituality, God and the bible, relating to the world, etc. In the United States there is a generally Christian way-of-being. It has different flavors and variations, but although we fight like the siblings we are, we hold most things in a common ‘world-view’ in the Christian family. God pulled me apart from the 'herd' so I could get un-habituated to this Christian world-view and way-of-being. So I could see the habits more clearly. And mostly so I could drop them, un-habituate from Christianity, and instead habituate to following my unique path in God.

• Part of this was, I had to let go of being validated by Christians. I had to learn to be inner-directed, not outer-directed. I had to learn to listen and follow the ways of God and not be compulsively trying to fit-in, or obsessively needing validation from Christians. I had to learn to let their rejection and judgment pass through my space without “taking me off my game.” I had to learn to let my joy be full, ‘outside the camp.’

Through all this I made ‘friends’ and ‘enemies.’ I have ‘fixed’ and ‘broken’ (repeat) relationships and structures – both inside and outside the Christian 'camp'. Mostly, it has been the experience of going through amazing and endless cycles of feeling ‘fixed’ and ‘broken’ – sometimes both at the same time! All this was often hard and painful, although the fruit is very sweet. And of course this all is still in progress... I'm Not ‘baked’ yet, not nearly!


Meanwhile, after decades of being chased from the Christian 'camp' by God, and feeling like a square peg in a round hole (at best) with many Christians, there is a sea-change happening. I feel drawn back deeper into the Christian 'camp'.

I don’t know for how long? I don’t know how it will go? I am excited and afraid, hopeful and cautious. I guess no matter what, it will be a learning/growing experience!

Does 'service' = spirituality?

A friend wrote me about the centrality of SERVICE in the spiritual life,
with the idea that the Ascended Masters did it, and we should too...

I believe service into the world occurs as fruit of our life as spirit in this world, and it comes in it season.  But, it should not be an end in itself, or even necessarily a means to a spiritual end, unless we are actively led in our unique spiritual path, to a particular service in a a specific space/time.

So, I wrote her to say:

If I try to think about the Master's priorities and how they serve, I could write a whole book.
But, keeping it simple is Key.

When I asked what Master's look like, what they all have in common, I saw a picture that looks like:

Being one with the Light,
like being in a waterfall of light, very bright.
Aligned with Source, as well as grounded in the physical world.

From my perspective, how that occurs in the physical,
is completely unique manifestation, focus and energies for each Master– as it is for each of us!
And of course they share things in common.

On a spiritual level, I see how it manifests; it spiritually looks like clouds, or waves, billowing out from the Master, in all directions (when the waterfall hits bottom it plumes out...).
From my perspective, it is the energy billowing out that is the service the Master offers in this world,
Not any particular way it looks on the physical…

On the physical - Peach trees make peaches, plum tress make plums.
They just do it, no effort, no shoulds, no agenda, no try.
It is like falling off a log – and there is fruit ; )

My friend responded, in support of her focus that service is spirituality:
Christ taught, he spoke, he did miracles. In teaching he filled the hearts of many. In speaking he brought hope to many. In performing miracles he was an example of breaking the shackles of this world to many. But it was in his actions with the poor, the sick, the helpless and the discarded ... did he show the many.
My response: yes, and...
Jesus, from my perspective, did a whole lot of NONE of that for ~ 30 years.
Three decades is a Very Long Time.
He was Jesus the Christ and he did relatively nothing of note for ~10/11ths of his whole entire human life!

I believe out of (from, because of) his quiet, non-obviously miraculous/healing/serving/inspirational/freedom-producing/demon-casting/etc 30 years, he was ready for public ministry.
Before that, not-so-much…

He did his work, deepened in himself and in the Father, increased in Knowledge and Power, etc.
He was centered in who he was and what God had him to do.
Then and only then did he go out to serve… as he was led/called to do, not just any ol' thing!

Even then, in the last ~ 3 years of his life, he was constantly moving away from the crowds. He consistently sought out the quiet, if he had to at night, to be with the Father, to do his spiritual work – or else he couldn’t have done what he did.

Great fruit. Amazing fruit. Fruit comes in its season, not before.

Mountains are not better than valleys. Valleys are not better than mountains.


I have been getting schooled in some things the last couple weeks - the main message of which, I keep getting as:
Mountains are not better than valleys. Valleys are not better than mountains.

Which is the picture and words for the general concept:

dichotomies, or opposites - just Are in this reality,
and are not (on a spiritual level) to be set in competition (including judgment) with each other.
Mountains and valleys each just Are.

I may Prefer one thing to another at a particular time/space, but in and of itself on a spiritual level -
  • left is not better than right
  • fat is not better than thin
  • old is not better than young
  • rich is not better than poor
  • death is not better than birth
  • war is not better than peace
  • you probably get the idea...

(Of course, spiritually, one becomes more or less beneficial for me the moment Gd says - 'go left', or 'sell all you have and follow me'. I am bringing this up to be clear, but this is an aside from what I am learning right now...)

In context, a couple weeks ago, Gd started me working with Jesus on a Big healing project -
basically integrating 2 large ‘bags of energy’ = basically 'lost parts' of myself.
(one bag can be called ‘shadow stuff’; one could say the other bag is a ‘male’ counterpart to myself).

This full integration will probably take about a year,
but the perception of change within (and outside me a bit) is palpable.

The enjoyable part has been that I feel increasing more whole – remarkably so – like Swiss cheese getting filled in. Or like I was filled with billiard balls and now all the spaces are getting filled with sand – it is bizarre!

The interesting part is learning to ride the wave of different emotions and ‘ways of being’ that are surfacing, that I haven’t had to ‘handle’ consciously as I am now – like male aggression!

The challenging part energetically is – there are many reasons why I separated these parts of myself (beliefs, experiences, limits, lies, judgments, etc).
So, predictably, as I reintegrate these ‘lost parts’, it is intense and stirs up many things that I need to allow Gd to wash away, if I am to keep going and not pop / die / go insane - whatever!

So Jesus has encouraged me to work with Lao Tse (yeah, the ~4–6th century BCE Chinese Philosopher, founder of Taoism, who the wrote Daodejing)

Lao Tse has been extraordinary in assisting me to let go of the many things that cause me to be ‘bent’ and reject my *self* – things like judgment, etc.
These issues caused me to separate myself from myself.
And now, these issues are in the way of re-integration…

Lao Tse has been assisting me SO Much with these changes.
And with helping me to open to receiving energy from Gd that helps me to release judgment etc, allow more balance, and continually let go.
I have been calling the energy equanimity, which is probably accurate, but doesn’t feel big enough.

I have found reading a definition of ‘Pu’ (a major concept in the Daodejing) feels like it may be a more well-rounded description of the energy I am receiving from Gd, and foundationally what I am learning from Lao Tse (I have some stuff below on Pu if you are interested)

Anyway my picture for this learning of non-judgment and balance is –
The mountain and the valley next to each other
– juxtaposed
– with no prejudice, no preconceptions, no better-ness between them…


Blessings on your unique path, Wendy


Pu

lit. "uncut wood"

translated "uncarved block", "unhewn log", or "simplicity".

represents a state of receptiveness, child-likeness.

Pu is a symbol for a state of pure potential and perception without prejudice.

In this state, Taoists believe everything is seen as it is, without preconceptions or illusion.

unburdened by knowledge or experiences.

no right or wrong, beautiful or ugly.

only pure experience, or awareness, free from learned labels and definitions.

It is this state of being that is the goal of following wu wei.
