Today wish to speak to you about guidance. Each one of you is made of the very same light that moves the stars in the heavens, causes the seeds to burst forth and grow into full bloom, and guides you in all of your interactions. This light is known by so many names – God, Love, Universal Intelligence, and so forth. This light is nothing less than the love that created and sustains the universe. So too, it creates, sustains, and guides you, for it IS you.

It is the human mind that makes you feel separate from this light. It is human fears and anxieties that make you forget that you are eternally connected to the source of all creation and that this love WANTS you to feel at peace, WANTS you to feel in harmony with the universe, and longs for you to know the love that created you and guides you. What the mind wants however is entirely different. It wants the illusion of control. It wants certainty, predictable outcomes, and assurance that it will be the boss. As you learn to surrender your mind and to listen to your heart however, you find a divine balance between the two. The mind was intended to serve the heart, not vice versa.

So when when you find yourself in fear or in challenging times, know it is a human tendency to start strategizing, reacting, figuring out ways to manipulate the universe. Far better however, to stop, breathe, sit in silence and ask yourself, “What do I really want out of this situation? What is my heart trying to tell me?” Ask, “Heart, what do you want? What are you trying to tell me?” Invite the presence of God within you to speak clearly through your heart. And then, listen, not so much with your ears, but with your inner knowing. Be willing to ‘hear’ things your mind might disagree with.

Suppose you want desperately to get a new job . In every minute of your spare time, your mind says, work, work, work! Send out resumes every moment. Make those calls! But your heart says, I want to go outside today and relax and read my spiritual books. I want to reconnect with myself and God. And during this quiet time you realize there is something else entirely that you want to do with your life. You want to go back to school or change careers. Now dear ones, now that you have gotten in touch with your hearts, now the universe can and will support you. Now doors will open. Now you will receive inspiration and guidance.

When the mind is trying to control the heart, you can only be guided into situations that force you deeper into your heart. When the mind is honoring the heart, you can be guided easily towards the heart’s goals.

Only when you are at “one” with your true self will God guide you in your outer world towards your goals. Suppose your earth said, “I do not wish to revolve around the sun now! I want to go in a different direction.” Well my dear friends, she would not receive any help and assistance in that endeavor because she was created to go around the sun. And so guidance would be withheld until she said at long last, “Ah it is in my heart to revolve around the sun as gracefully and beautifully as I can.” So be it! Guidance would be immediately forthcoming.

Suppose you want a relationship to make your life more interesting, or to help you feel happier. If you insist, we can guide you toward one to do just that, however realize you will attract someone who wants YOU to make their life more interesting and to make them feel happier as well. And this will drive you deeper into your heart and you will say, “But I want a relationship with someone who is happy with themselves, and feels good about their own life.” And then the realization will follow, “I want to feel happy with myself and good about my own life.” Then dear ones, you will receive guidance as to how to go about realizing this truth, and in this deeper truth you will attract healthier and happier relationships.

Suppose you say, “God I want more money! I want to be able to pay my bills more easily.” Well dear ones we could guide you there in a heartbeat, but many times we do not because what you really want, underneath these desires is, “God, please show me that you really love me, support me, and care about me.” Far better to ask for this, because it is a deeper truth and in this deeper truth you will be guided in many ways that show you how much God loves you. You will develop faith, trust, and an awareness of greater truth, perhaps even in different directions than you might have chosen had the money come easily, and then… the money will come as well.

There are always very deep desires beneath the more human ones. Dig deep into your hearts, find them and ask for them, because these are the prayers that are answered in beautiful ways that you might not even imagine. In asking to feel your light, the light of God’s love, and the universal support for you, you are admitting to yourself you are worthy of it (and this is truth). You are admitting that you are a valuable part of the universe. You are allowing the Divine to guide you as was originally intended, and you are surrendering to a grander vision of your life than one you could ever dream for yourselves.

So by all means, pray the very human prayers for we care about your human life, but don’t forget to dig deep and see what prayers the heart is trying to pray underneath these human desires. You all want to know God’s love. You all want to feel safe and secure in that love. You all want to feel that your life has purpose. And we can easily guide you in these endeavors, for a life centered on love is one in which your material needs will truly be satisfied, your desires for connection will be upheld, and a joy that is natural to the soul will be allowed to shine through you to others on this school called Planet Earth.

God bless you! We love you so very much.

There is a party going on and you’re invited!

There’s a party going on and you’re invited. It’s called your inspired life. It’s called stepping out of grim “reality,” the old way of seeing things and the prison bars of habit and self-inflicted limitation. It’s called reconnecting with your secret strength, invincible love, optimal thinking, and sudden clarity. You’re invited.
Here’s how the invitation shows up. It comes as a whisper, a hope, and a longing.  I wish I could just have some time to walk on the beach. I wish I could write and sell my novel. I wish I could do my own business in coaching. News flash: these aren’t just whispers. They are shuttle buses to your new life, leaving now. This is medicine. This is divine instruction. These are stock tips for the investment of your lifetime.

Why would you ignore your own genius? Oh, I know, because doing something you want to do can’t be right. But think again. If it feels good and exciting, it’s got power and energy, natural strength, and the ability to help you get past your fears and feel that “right feeling” that makes everything fall into place.

Tama is offering a retreat where you can learn to do this here.

See the best and let go of the rest

We hear your prayers and know your worries dear ones, but if you knew the truth of God’s love for you and the reality of life on earth you would never have to worry again. You would trust that wherever you find yourself, all is in perfection. You would know that whatever anyone else is experiencing is exactly what they need at that point for their soul’s education. And in releasing your worries you would find boundless energy – for your fears drain the very life force out of you, focus you on negative realities, and prevent you from your natural state of creativity and well being.
Worry is a learned behavior. It is not a natural state of being for the soul. It is taught to you from an early age. You learn that if you care, you will worry. And yet, dear friends nothing could be farther from the truth! To worry about your future is to focus on and therefore lend energy to the very reality you wish to avoid. To worry about another is to focus on a negative reality for their future. Every thought you think, and every word you utter is a prayer. And while none of you would ever consciously pray for the worst for yourself or another, that is exactly what you do each time you send a worry out to the universe. It is a weak prayer, thankfully, but nonetheless a command to the universal intelligence. You do not want to create all you worry about dear ones! You want to create the beautiful dreams you dream with conscious intent.

So what to do when worry arises? Ask yourself, “What if my worry came true? How would I handle it?” Sometimes just looking fear in the face causes it to dissipate. Then say to yourself, “What is the best that can happen?” Allow yourself to envision the best possible solution. Ask yourself also, “What are the facts right now… today?” Remind yourself that you can always handle today. Envision the best for tomorrow.

And above all else, dear ones, when worry arises, say a prayer for the outcome you DO want. Instead of worrying about your children’s safety and fearing the worst, pray for the best. Instead of worrying about whether or not you can pay your bills, pray for financial security and plenty of abundance. Instead of worrying about your health or the health of another pray for their well being and vitality. Instead of worrying about Mother Earth, pray for her well-being. In this fashion you become powerful creators for what is good, true, healthy, joyous, and everlasting here upon your earth.

God bless you! We love you so very much.

A Season of Supernatural Acceleration

By Spiritdancer  |  2010/06/25 04:08 Posted in Angels, Awakening, Fifth Dimensional Living  |  Comments (4)


Guest post by Keith_A._Paul

Angelic visits, supernatural visions, dreams and prophetic encounters are invading the ordinary routines of many. This is only the first wave of what God is planning to do. Your life will be dramatically changed with what is coming. God is looking for candidates to carry His Presence. Are you available?

If you answer yes, then catch the waves of the Spirit and be carried into your destiny. We are now in a season of supernatural acceleration. To those who will ask for a greater measure of His Presence He will take you from where you are into the realms of Heaven. There you will experience the equipping and preparation phase. This phase includes Angelic visits, supernatural visions, dreams and prophetic encounters. Earnestly ask for and desire these from the Lord. He says that if we call upon Him, He will answer and show us great and unsearchable things that we don’t know about. I recommend that you make this a priority. God answers prayer and will lead you into the fulfillment of these preparations. This is about breaking forth into a supernatural life style and it is what God has planned for you. Spend time in prayer and fasting. Fasting as He leads you and prayer as lead by His Spirit.

Your response in this first level is critical to activating the next phase. So learn to listen and obey. Enter into an intimate spiritual relationship with Him for fruitfulness flows out of spiritual intimacy. Learn to yield to Him in this first phase for this will enhance and deepen the impact of the visitations and revelatory downloads. Give yourself to learning in this phase. Ask for wisdom and understanding. He will give it liberally. Don’t get distracted in this phase. It is very easy to get completely focused on the visitations and revelations so much so that you will want to stay in this phase. They will never end if you also embrace what God plans to do next. If you get distracted and stay in this first phase God will not bring you into the next phase so move forward.

The phase that God wants to bring you into is habitation. This is where He enters you in fullness. Where His Presence saturates every part of your being and life. In this place you carry His Presence around with you and he manifests Himself through as a vessel of God. He is coming in greater measure to dwell in His people. Move to this by His grace. This is where His glory will shine around you and visible tangible manifestations of His power and Presence come forth out of your life. Pursue this with passion and prayer. Crave after this for it is God’s will and time for it in your life.

I close by invoking this blessing over your life. ” May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. May He lift up His countenance upon you and give you health, peace, safety, well being, success and prosperity.” I have placed His Name upon you now and He will bless you.

In this video Abraham does a really good job of explaining why “Now” is all there really is.

Spiritual Marketing

Guest post by Ann Albers

I have often been turned off by traditional marketing methods. While they work, many have struck me as ways of manipulating people to make a sale, pressuring people to buy, or convincing people they had a need. It seems like so much work! And yet I get people starting businesses all the time who ask me how to market themselves. The answer from the angels is pretty simple: 1) Be yourself rather than what you feel people expect of you, 2) Do what you love and are good at, and 3) Find a way to let people know what you are doing without any pressure – just share what you do. In simply radiating our light and love out to the world – however we do that best – people who need us can find us.

I’ll never forget when I started doing readings in a local bookstore. I was a psychic in the window on the slowest days of the week. Hardly anyone came in! I had just quit engineering and left behind a nice big salary and I was terrified about paying my bills. Furthermore, I made only about $6 after taxes for a 15 minute session even when someone did come in! I prayed very hard. The angels gave me two tools to build my entire business. Simple as they seem, they both worked.

The first was just a little meditation. They had me sit quietly every morning, feeling how much I loved to help people. As I felt the love for my work, they had me imagine the light in my heart radiating out in all directions. I would let the light build until I was floating in a bubble of radiant light. At that point they told me to simply say in my mind and heart, “If I can help you with my work, and you will honor the exchange, please find me.” People started walking into the bookstore saying, “I’m not sure why I am here, but I think you can help me.” I knew I had connected with their soul and that the interaction would serve us both. Talk about angel marketing! Heaven always seeks to bring us mutually beneficial partnerships whether business or personal.

The second tool was gratitude. After each client the angels tasked me to drop into my heart and feel gratitude for the ability to serve that person. “Thank you God for allowing me to serve this soul. I am ready to help the next one.” They asked me to say this after each client. Discussions of money were not allowed in these prayers. Instead they suggested I focus on my soul’s true gratitude. I did love helping people so that was easy. As I focused on the service, rather than the money, two magical things happened. I felt rich because I was able to share my gifts with people and in this vibration people sensed that they would receive help. Secondly when I removed money from the discussion, fear went away as well. In the absence of fear, business picked up. Soon the two slowest days of the week became the two busiest days. Love is what built my business, not strategy, manipulation, glossy ads, or any sort of conventional means. Just plain love.

I also taught one-person classes when I started teaching. The angels taught me to value these experiences. We cannot judge the value of our work by the magnitude. We have to simply ask, “Am I doing what feels right in my heart. Am I sharing of my true self?” If so you are already right in God’s eyes. I needed to start small to grow in confidence, to refine my teaching style, and to begin in humility. Had I not done that I would not be able to teach the masses now.

So if you are starting a business or a project that involves others, center yourself in the love within you. Focus on the service and the joy of serving. And if you cannot find the joy, question whether or not you are doing what you are doing for the right reasons. It is your love and your joy that are the true abundance in the world. It is the ability to share of the God light within you that is the richest possession you have. In sharing of your time, talent, kindness, inspiration, or even simply your prayers, you make the world a better place… simply because you are in it. This is the true wealth that we all long for, and funny… when you feel rich with the ability to share, the universe somehow meets the rest of your needs as well.

Have a week of true abundance and let your light shine!
Love and hugs,
Ann

We make very poor use of our talents

By Spiritdancer  |  2010/05/29 00:56 Posted in Creativity, Inspiration, Inspired Education  |  Comments (2)

In this poignant, funny follow-up to his fabled 2006 TedTalk, Sir Ken Robinson makes a plea for a true revolution in education. He talks about how we have to change the way we educate children from a mechanical process to an organic one.  I love how he acknowledges that inspiration, doing what you love and following the heart and Spirit are the keys.  I could say more but he does a better job so here you go…

Here is his first talk:

My dear friends, we love you so very much. Each one of you is a treasure to us, so special, so amazing that if you were to witness yourself through our eyes you would be driven to tears. The courage it took each and every one of you to come to this school called earth is hard to describe in human language. For a soul to leave it’s home in heaven, there is commitment, dedication, a sense of adventure, a desire to learn more about love, and a great love of God. Each one of you wants others to see this light within you. Each one of you truly longs to see this light within other souls.

When you find yourself in times of challenge, sit quietly and ask the light of God within you to rise to the surface. Imagine a very great light in your heart, radiating outward in all directions. This light goes beyond your body, out into the universe, reaching out for solutions, touching those of like mind and like heart, seeking helpful individuals, and creating meaningful connections. This light is the truth of your being. Like sonar, this light will touch all those who can assist you and all those whom you can assist. In this light, you will find that you are never alone or without guidance. In this light you will discover that you are all truly one in God’s love. In this space of truth, you will hear your own answers more clearly.

When you don’t know what to do next in your lives dear friends, sit in this space of light radiating from your hearts and allow yourselves to feel God flowing into your heart and radiating outward towards all creation. Think of the solutions you desire, or the help you require and sit quietly for awhile, expectant like children. Allow the light time to work, to reach out, and to connect you with answers. Then get up, breathe deeply and go about your day trusting the help, answers, and connections you need will be made. Wait patiently and allow these to manifest in your physical world.

You are never without help, guidance, love, or direction when you allow yourself to sit in the truth of your being. The tools we share with you dear ones are simple. We are aware of your busy lives. And yet how much more productive it is to sit in this space of love and truth and wait for answers, than to frantically devise your own solutions. God is with you. God flows to you, in you, and through you. In this space, you are never, ever alone.

God bless you! We love you so very much.
