CIRCLE OF SELF
Empowering All Through One
EMERGING
Understanding the Request

It is that you are now being asked to re-examine the very nature that comprises who you are.  YOU, the individual self that is here to experience this life at this time and in this space.  The changes that are now in full movement around you are here to help you succeed in this journey of Self discovery.  That is right, you are uncovering the Self.

For a great while now human beings have identified themselves through their larger community: culture, country, neighborhood, religious affiliation, ethnicity, family to name a few.  These larger identities appear to be made up of the individuals within them; however, it is more true to say that these communities are what currently make up the individual.  These common bond umbrella's are indeed the inner components of the individual.  They heavily influence what we believe to be true, right, moral, just, acceptable, repulsive, etc.  While it is true that there are degrees to which these influences affect each individual differently, never-the-less, they do hold a form of power over each.  Even when one is breaking the "rules" and rebelling against these influences, they too are influenced yet simply responding in opposite expectation.

So it is that true power must now come to the forefront of human existence.  It is the individual that carries true, balanced, and uncorrupt power within them.  This power, more commonly known among you as empowerment, has it's nature of origin at the very place where you all merge as the Collective One.  Then, why, you may ask, does everyone not experience and practice this sense of empowerment?  Because it is more than just the merging of your collective consciousness through the Creative Source or God or Spirit.  It is that you understand you have the right to express yourself as an individual as you are lead by your true heart desire.  It is also that you must come to the place of not only accepting yourself in this true nature, but you must also accept all others as they express their own.

Now then, this may be a whole new concept, although it is not.  For what is actually being said is that everyone can be who they are and it is up to other individuals to allow them to be just that.  It is trusting that they will express their god-essence nature.  And you must express your own.  When you are truly in a place of peace within your Self and are allowing this connection to the Collective One, and are in turn being the very nature of this connection and experience, there is no need to find a hierarchy.  Everyone has value and that value, while outwardly appearing very different is in fact, equal.

Varied perception of individual value is what the problem is when the larger community is allowed to dictate who you are individually.  Among each community is a collection of individuals who "run" or manage the community.  Many times they are selected by other individuals to be in this position; however, regardless of how they arrive there, the balance of power is then shifted and there is no longer equality among the people.  It is up to each individual to accept responsibility and be accountable for their own actions and behaviors. It is no longer profitable, nor has it ever been, to surrender yourself to anything other than Divine Will. By putting higher value on any other individual, or even on yourself, there is a disturbance in the natural order which is recognized at the cellular level - that level which is in itself a complete replica of the greater organism... In this case, the person... In turn the community, in turn the country, world, universe.... See how it grows larger?  When there is a disturbance in the natural order, the innate response is to re-create balance and peace.  And so it is that some will act out in attempts to do this, to attract the attention to this loss of equilibrium. They are mirroring the greater picture. 

This is not to say that those whose gift and nature is leadership are no longer of value.  In deed the opposite is true.  It is this leadership quality that is necessary to show the others what it is that can be done within themselves to rebalance their existence.  Not by doing, or governing them, rather they are to lead by example.  Let this point be illustrated.  Say there are two family members.  One is feeling unappreciated by the other or even by someone else entirely.  This first one then behaves in a manner dishonoring the Self and the other family member; perhaps they start a fight, even make accusations against the other of how the second has not appreciated them. It is the perspective of the first that these feelings are valid and so they are... In the reality of the first; however, the same may not be true for the second individual.  This does not make it less true in the experience of the first.   It is at that point that THEY, the first person, must become aware and take responsibility for their actions and be accountable for themselves.  It is the other's responsibility to trust that this can occur because they are doing the same thing... being responsible and accountable for themselves.  This is done most fully by loving and honoring the Self.  For we cannot dishonor another if we are truly honoring ourselves, nor do we allow and attract the vibration of dishonor from another. It is a matter of trusting your Self; knowing that you are part of the very source, by whatever name you use, that created you.  Which one is the leader here?  Does it matter? Both are holding the same ability, both are capable of holding the space for the other simply by doing what they are to do... Accepting their own responsibility and accountability.  It is up to both parties, not just one, to do the right thing.  At the collective level they are one in the same.

There are many who have caught the eyes and ears of main stream media regarding this connection and it is a wonderful thing for they are bringing this idea of Collective One to the masses; many of whom would not have been exposed to this concept so readily.  But we encourage that you see them for what they are.... the messengers of this concept.  They are not greater or lesser than any one else. It is still the responsibility of every individual to accept the knowing of All As One. There are still those out there who are here to show the masses HOW to make the change and it is you who are being asked to step forward at this time.  There are as many paths as there are people to the same destination. Examples of these journeys are catalysts for others to mobilize.

Entertain the idea for a moment that the perceived economic crisis has been put before you to assist you in re-examining what is really important to you.  Will you find that love, compassion, trust, integrity, honor, friends, family, relationships are the virtues you most value or do you prize material possession more?  The economic turn is supporting you in slowing down to evaluate things. It is becoming a great equalizer. There has been a fear instilled within so many that if they do not "provide", then they are frowned upon, not good enough.  We ask you - why is it that you do not accept the provisions of a loving, giving, caring God, Source, Spirit, Earth, Universe... Again, whatever name you give it... It is all the same.  When you follow your innate desire, when you go out on a limb to follow what brings you joy, that is when you can release the "need" to provide because you will be gifted with provision beyond your imagination.

At this time you are being asked to explore that inner part of your Self.  Explore in your mind, your journal writing, your conversations with God - that avenue within yourself that leads you to your Joy.  You will know it because it comes with a sense of freedom that is unsurpassed.  You may also know it because too often, following that feeling of freedom will come the "inner community voice" that lists the reason why you may not be able to follow that path.  You are not being asked to abandon your community, culture or families, you are asked to be willing to give up the influences that bind you in search and pursuit of your heart desires.  Understand that the willingness does not mean you will have to give things up, although you will be letting go of things that no longer serve you and support your newly discovered or finally pursued desires.  The willingness is simply a vibrational message to the Universe that you are ready to accept your good.  You are being encouraged to recognize that your community is not outside yourself, but within, at much deeper level where once again it adjoins with the others at a Soul level.  The communities formed here on the planet are attempts to re-create this internal Soul level connection.  But it doesn't have to be re-created, it simply has to be acknowledged and honored.  It was never destroyed, just  forgotten or ignored.

Ask your Self these questions: Who am I really?  What makes me happy?  What REALLY makes me happy?  Are these things coming from my Soul or my community voice?  Did I borrow these things from an outside source?  If all my needs and and wants would be provided for, including the needs of my dependent family, what would I really do with my time?  What is preventing me from doing these things?

It may take a few times of asking these questions to sort through imposed ideas.  Take your time and try it.  When you feel you have gotten Soul level answers, if you are not already doing all of them, ask yourself... Why not?

The true you, the true everyone, is encouraged to emerge.  Every human is now being asked to live in a state of Joy.  Each of you have a different experience of what Joy is and only YOU can determine what that is for you.  Let go, let yourself be free. Follow what is right for YOU!

WHAT'S NEXT
Creating a path for change

Now that we know what is being asked, how do we do that?  How do we begin to make changes in our lives and habits without becoming so overwhelmed we are barely functional.  The first thing we have to do is get to know our Self.  One would think that having lived in a body and it's experiences for however many years you would know that Self.  But that may only be true in the sense that we know what has become expected of us, what has become our patterns and habits, what we have defined as acceptable behavior.

For the most part, every one has admirable qualities.  Equally true, every one has qualities they could stand to improve.  But why do we have these less than polished characteristics.  What have they represented to us.  They are obviously important.  Some identify and define these sometimes less than desirable qualities as our shadow side.  This is not to be construed as a negative term because when there is light that meets density, a shadow is cast.  We are light beings, mini-replica's of God if you will (pick your term here, don't get caught up in the wording), coming from an unlimited existence into a defined space.  This higher energy from which we originate is meeting with a tight fit here in our physical bodies.  Something similar to the genie in the bottle.  Therefore, because we are light meeting with a seemingly solid object, it would stand to reason that we are casting a shadow that belongs to us.

Many of us also tend to lean toward logic.  We pride ourselves on intelligence and it is a valued quality among humanity.  But maybe it is time to redefine intelligence, or at least where true intelligence comes from.  There are many scientific studies out there and have been for a great while now that the heart is more than just an organ that pumps blood.  It is now being recognized as having it's own intelligence and communicative ability.  With all the movies and books out about quantum physics, most of us have heard of cells responding to other cells that are not even in the same room. With all these holograms of higher intelligence composing our bodies, maybe it is time to rethink what logic we should be allowing to lead us in our life.

So what do we do?  Here are some things you can try.....

Step one:  Get into your body. We do this by breathing.  Really BREATHING, slowly and deeply. Instead of pushing beyond your limits and into avoidance, listen to what the body is saying..  Take a few moments each day (before you get out of bed or in the shower are very good times) to affirm that you are fully present in your body.  Take a deep breath and with prayer or in meditation, ask that the God-essence portion of you (the Soul) be fully present in every cell of your body.  Know that every cell in your body is open and receptive to the presence of your Soul.  Make a note how your body feels.  Allowing these changes are going to require communication with the physical portion of ourselves so take time to notice and try not to cover it up.  If something gets your attention, ask why it is speaking to you and what your Soul would like to see you do about it, if anything.

Step two:  Observe your own behavior. The next time you have a response to something that you wish you hadn't, take moment to get quiet and ask where the response was coming from.  What really triggered the response.  Don't try to stop the response at this point;  simply observe it.  Whenever you can, and try always, journal what is going on with you in these instances. Don't try to analyze, just report. Be really open in your journaling.  If you don't feel safe committing it to paper, then burn it or get rid of it in some way after you have written it; type it into the computer and hit delete instead of save.  You don't necessarily have to keep it.  Writing it will help you explore your inner Self more fully.  Don't worry if you feel embarrassed or weird about it, honestly, most people do when they really start emotional journaling.  You will be amazed at what comes up.  So many times what is really happening doesn't even correspond with the event that caused the reaction.

Step three: Ask WWMHSD.  We have probably all seen the WWJD slogan.  What this is really asking you is What Would My Higher Self (soul, God-essence.... Again, pick your term) Do.  For just a moment, let yourself be in THIS space and time and really connect with that higher vibration of your Self. Your reaction is communicating an imbalance within you. Don't look to your mind to offer the intellect here.  Ask what your Soul is really looking to accomplish in a situation.  I am coming into contact with more and more people who are looking to leave their conventional way of earning a living, yet there is fear because it is what is expected of them.  When they don't make the shift on their own, the Universe usually gives them a nudge (or shove) in the right direction.  Again, here is where the economic crisis is really just a helping hand.  When these same people are able to move their "shoulds" out of the way long enough to hear what the heart is saying, they find themselves in or moving toward a supportive and loving space.  Way better than what they used to have. It just takes Faith.

Faith and fear are opposite perspectives of the same truth.  Both operate on not knowing what comes next.  Faith opens and surrenders to our higher vibrational Self, knowing that all is well.  Fear, however, takes us into our logical mind where we have access to prior events, real or imagined or anticipated, that are cataloged within our cells as memory.  From this place we shut down Trust, a vibration that ANY ONE can access, and stop it from flowing through us.  In fear, we attempt to control the situation. (Please don't confuse logical fear with the body's protective fear response.  They are two different things, logical fear paralyzes and shuts down the organism.)  Following our desire from the vantage point of the mind versus our Soul, would be like thinking we have a broader range of vision standing on a hill when there is a mountain beside us.

Step four: Listen. There are many ways to communicate.  Your voice, body language, behavior, attitude, choices, it is endless. Listening is probably the most effective communication tool in the box.  If  you can truly listen, many things can be accomplished.  Being able to listen puts you in a position of having the information you need for a situation.  Listening to our Soul and Spirit Body (guides, Soul & Angels)  will bring amazing revelations to your awareness.  Your Soul always has sight of the greater picture and can guide you at any time.  Also, be aware of what you are listening to that comes from outside of your Self.  How often are you bombarding yourself with negative concepts and ideas.  Be especially aware of this  as you are retiring for the night.  The dream state is when we are open to the communication from Spirit when we are shut down in the waking state.  Subjecting yourself to things that keep you anxious prevents restful sleep that allows Soul communication to come clearly through in dreams.

As each of us journey through these changes, it is important that we know we are not alone.  Not only are there others out there having similar experiences, but we are all connected at a Soul level and our source of Creation.  Be the radiant individual you are that forms the Great Light.

DIVINE GUIDANCE
How The Planets Assist

Please excuse the personal nature of this message, but I felt it relevant as it directly impacted the creation of this newsletter.

For the past many weeks I have felt a stirring connection between my first (societal and community relationships) and third (relationship to the Self) chakras.  I kept feeling like it would have some presentation in the second chakra (more personal relationships). This in itself is not uncommon, but upon asking why I felt this and what it meant, I was surprised when the first article was presented in answer.  It wasn't what I had expected and thankfully I wasn't attached to my expectation.  While the information came clearly and easily, the technical generation of the newsletter proved to by very trying.  It wasn't until today after reading some information about the new moon that I understood why and things easily fell into place.

This new moon assists our reconnection with the Earth and it's creations which include us and our communities.  It helps by returning us to our sense of roots, by finding our "umbilical cord".  At first glance, this may appear to be contradictory to the EMERGING message; however, that it is not the case.  The energy of the planet is supporting our examination of these influences by holding our sense of connection intact. This is our opportunity to re-birth.  What a wonderful gift!  Who better to have your back than the big Source, itself.

We will find ourselves redefining who we are in the larger picture by strengthening our individual connection to others and the Earth herself.  Don't be surprised if people pop up out of your past, old friendships rekindled and new friendships form from former foes.  These bonds will help to strengthen the understanding of who you are and offer the courage needed to explore deeply.

There may be some people or things you say good-bye to as well.  Know that this is okay, too.  During May, Mercury will be in retrograde from the 6th until the 30th.  While this period traditionally has a tendency to wreak havoc on communication, finances and technology, what is really happening is the veil that separates us from our true knowing is very thin.  Rely more on intuition and less on logic during this time and things will fall into place more easily.  Be open to change by releasing resistance.  The planetary alignments for the next few months are supporting you.

Had the creation of this newsletter gone smoothly, it would have been prepared and marked to send before I had completed the full message.  I am grateful to have received the divine intervention that prevented me from breezing through the logical portion of this and kept me choosing between getting frustrated or staying open.  I did a little of both, but thankfully, openness won out!   Enjoy your month!!

The LIGHTWORKERS CALL TO MASTERY is for those individuals ready to experience life in the loving and abundant manner of our Soul's intention. Living a joyful life is the intention of our Creator. Whatever your idea of a higher power is - be it through beliefs of science, religion or spirituality - when we live as expressions of the Love and Light we truly are, we are allowing ourselves to be in our true power. That means we feel secure, attract health, wealth and happiness, and are surrounded by a loving, supportive environment.



In these classes you are guided through your change every step of the way.  Things are so much easier when we have support.  Give yourself the opportunity to grow in the company of others in the same experience.
