Karen Dover: The Illusion of ‘Familiarity’

March 11, 2015 by Brian Ramsell

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

karen_doverThanks to Stephanie.

It is in times of expansion, and indeed just prior to expansion, that we may feel a huge [urge] to be surrounded by and interact with what we perceive is ‘familiar’.

The sense of this ‘familiar’ is what we search for in order to establish some sort of appearance of security. As we are moving into ever greater expansion and moving from the very contained and controlled way of living on this planet to a new way of living and BEing, then at times during this process we may be faced with what can only be described as a ‘panic’.

Indeed, I personally have faced this often. As a UK person in a ‘foreign’ country, it can at times be overwhelming to let things flow. Nothing in this country is as it is where I was born, from driving on the other side of the road to the language and how it is used.

So when an expansive phase is moved into, the urge to find something ‘familiar’ is triggered and can be deep. Now, before I left the UK, my guidance was to revisit the places that I had grown up.  I had left the place that I grew up over the years, but had always come back; again a pattern that many run.

How many people leave their home town but return again, usually to settle down and have a family? What draws them back? The sense of ‘familiar’, as they move into an area of their lives that is new for them, giving them the illusion of security as a backdrop to their life experience at that moment.

So I drove round the area that I had left four years previously. Now, in my mind’s eye this area was very familiar indeed. I had gone to school there, my son had attended the same school, etc.  It was only when I physically visited the area again that my sense of ‘familiar’ evaporated almost immediately,

The picture in my mind and the picture in front of me were so far apart it was incredible. The area not only did not feel familiar at all, physically it had changed to be unrecognizable in places. In those four years that I had left to live elsewhere, I had never returned to this particular area once, yet here I was faced with a place that was completely alien to me.

‘Familiar’ is a picture that our human logical mind creates from memories that seek to trigger our deepest emotions. In the area I visited and where i grew up, I had experienced every life event; my father’s death, my mother’s death, marriage, the birth of my son, and my divorce.

All had been experienced in this particular area. Indeed, I stayed in the area for a few days and it was not lost on me the location of the apartment I rented for said days. Within a short driving distance was my primary school, old places of employment, and houses that I had once lived in; all in a circle around me and all so unfamiliar it was incredible.

What the human logical mind filters out is the change that occurs within us personally, the emotions that we have experienced and are then ‘filed’ in relation to where they occurred does not take any account of the expansion that naturally occurs to our human lives as we live and experience.

It is relatively easy to sit and fall into memories, and accept them for the way that the human logical mind is presenting them. This sees many people live in the ‘past’ and not the present moment, indeed falling into the trap of comparing the ‘past’ with the present moment is the illusion of the human logical mind, because the entire event is not retained.

As I have blogged previously, the human logical mind will filter out approximately 90 percent of all available information. The memory was created and then stored in the human logical mind at the time of the event. Once the moment of the event has passed, then the recall is always distorted. It will be based on the information that was retained by the human logical mind; never fully what actually occurred.

The more the ‘memory’ is accessed, the more it is distorted as the human logical mind attempts to refile the memory and adds or subtracts information that is available.

This is why it is vital during times of transition to let go of the human logical mind and its illusions, to sit and hold tight to ‘what was’ is not truth. It is merely an optical illusion that seeks to prevent us from expansion.

Indeed, trying to maintain how it was or how it ‘should be’ is a very deep teaching of the old 3d-earth-created construct. For those of you who read this blog and have experienced the cyclical nature of ‘fashion’, you will be able to understand that when ‘fashions’ come back again, then the memories of the ‘first’ time around come flooding back.

This triggering is deliberate, and the triggering will continue until we release the frequency pattern of ‘familiar’. It seeks to keep us contained and suppressed. It is the old 3d-earth-created teachings that seek to teach us to place experience in a certain order and then to create a ‘life path’. In truth, we are having individual and unique experiences that we then store within our human logical mind.

To hold on to linear and ‘should’ will see us trapped in the illusion that is ‘memory’. We can only ever experience in the moment. We cannot, for example, drink a cup of coffee and then refill the cup and have the same experience.

The coffee is not the ‘same’ and the situation in which we are drinking said coffee is also not the ‘same’. For energy shifts at all moments, of all moments. We have simply been taught to try slow it down, reference, and store it; and to maintain it.

Moving into flow will see vast expansion, but the ‘familiar’ will seek to prevent us from moving into new experiences. Indeed, many ‘new’ experiences are simply prior experiences that are being re-arranged into a different order and placed before us as being ‘new’.

Take, for example, a ‘past life experience’. The experience has been had, the life has been lived, the recounting and revisiting of said life experience, then, is to view an optical illusion, and [it] seeks to hold us in the deep pattering of ‘familiar’ once more.

Many in the spiritual arena are simply going around in circles, accessing experience that has already been lived but it is being presented to them as ‘new’. It is not new unless it has never before been experienced; and this is being filtered out as one life is compared with another.

The New Earth frequency realities are experiences that are new; they have never before been experienced and they are the reason we have incarnated onto this planet at this time; to experience the human vehicle and how it can move into expansion.

We are not here simply to sift through other lifetimes, persuading ourselves that somehow we are moving into expansion whilst in Truth standing still. This way of experiencing energy is not supported in the New Earth and will begin to dissolve.

Becoming aware of the trigger points for the ‘familiar’ is the key to dissolving the frequency. For we can only ever be triggered if we have that frequency running within our human vehicle. It is not possible to get angry with someone unless we carry the frequency pattern of said anger within us.

This again is filtered out by those who seek to fall into the illusion that is presented before them. It is never about the people in our life experience; it is always about us.

To change the world, we need to change the frequencies that are anchored within our own human vehicles. Many are still attempting to change the outer waking world whilst filtering out the frequencies that are running deep within themselves.

As we approach Easter, and the symbology that is presented to us of resurrection and new life from old these old frequency patterns will begin to [be triggered], this is to help us see the patterns and take action to dissolve them.

It is not possible to dissolve something that is running unseen by ourselves within ourselves. I have stated often that it is not possible to take anything from the old 3d-earth-created reality into the New Earth frequency realities – and this is truth – such is the patterning and the deeply anchored behaviour that must be cleansed and released before expansion can flow into our human life experience.

Many at this time are holding on, attempting to recreate the human life experience using the teachings that they were taught within the old 3d-earth-created reality. These teachings will not work, for they are not truth.

Life is experience; it is not debate; it is not forcibly creating something in order to step into it, [thus] using up vast amounts of energy in attempting to prolong and keep hold of it.

Life is grace, flow, and ease. To move with the natural expansion of the flow of natural energy in the universe is to be carried with the current. It is not to swim against it, or indeed to build barricades to keep it out of our lives.

This is what many are attempting to do whilst filtering out the process they are interacting with. The energies will continue to build, for they are the natural rhythm and flow of the universe in which the planet earth resides.

We are not here to control and to contain nature, we are here to re-align and remember that we are part of nature in truth.

God created the planet Earth and all of nature. The old 3d-earth-created construct simply taught man that to harness this would seek to make man powerful.  It disempowers man, for we are created to co-exist in harmony.

We have been taught to ignore this and to bypass this. This was done by disconnecting the human race from their heart space and from God.  For God is flow, God is creation, and only with God can we co-create in the natural expansive flow of his creation, the planet earth, and the wider universe.

At human-conscious-waking-mind level, the human logical mind will distort the wider picture. God always sees the bigger picture, for he creates it. Therefore, to filter out God is to filter out part of the natural way of BEing in this, our human form. (Please note that I am talking about God and not religion which is a man-made construct created to prevent the connection to God in truth).

At this time, we are asked to let the optical illusions dissolve and to walk through them. This is done by letting go and accepting that we are not all-powerful on our own, disconnected from source, and disconnected from the natural flow of All. For All are One, in truth, with God.

By reconnecting to God and to source, we remember who we are, and we begin to understand why we were taught otherwise. For all just is and we are.

True Freedom Comes from Spiritual Surrender

Observe and Love Without Getting Involved

  • The low vibrations of control, greed and deception are being overcome by the high vibrations of self-confidence, optimism and freedom as more and more of Earth’s peoples are absorbing light.
  • Light, the same energy as love, is Creator, the Source of All That Is—that is who you are, who every soul in the cosmos is—and the light you radiate is helping Earth’s peoples awaken into that reality.
  • By observing the ongoing drama of this process but not being drawn into it, you are further empowering yourselves, the peoples, and all other light beings in this universe. (Matthew’s Message, Sept. 1, 2022.)

https://goldenageofgaia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/22Somehow-Ill-Find-My-Way-Home22-Tribute-to-All-Lightworkers.mp4

All of life is embarked on the same one journey – from God to God – a voyage of Self-discovery

The Pattern of the Mother

  • This universe is designed around the pattern of the Divine Mother. What is that pattern?
  • Creation, preservation, transformation = love building, love preserving, love dissolving = inbreath, pause, outbreath = rajas, sattwa, thamas (gunas) = Akar, Ukar, Makar (Aum) = Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva (Trimurthy)
  • One more?
  • Father, Son, and Holy Ghost = Brahman, Atman, and Shakti

Divine Mother: Not in My Plan?

  • Divine Mother: [I am speaking about] those in … positions where control and abuse of power have been rampant. That will not be the platform [from] which integration of the various galaxies [into the new, interdimensional region of space] takes place. That is not the Plan.
  • I know very clearly, Sweet One, as do you, if it is not [in] my Plan, then it will not occur. …
  • Make no mistake, … Love will win because that has been my Plan always.
  • (The Divine Mother in “Enter the Delegations – Part 2/3,” May 5, 2019, at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2019/05/05/enter-the-delegations-part-2-3/.)

The Mother’s Clarion Call to All of Humanity!

This is my clarion call to all of humanity to embrace love, to embrace truth, to embrace peace…

The Divine Mother’s Mandate

  • Build what is divinely beautiful. I give you my divine authority to do so. I will guide you. I will help you. But I entrust this to you as well. …
  • We are helping you. That gateway is open and you are being flooded and you are being assisted and you will be assisted every step of the way.

Bring It Back to the Love

  • Beloved child, son of my heart, [Ascension, spiritual evolution] is only about love, about the many expressions, about the many forms.
  • And truly of anchoring and being nothing but the love, in intellect, in wisdom, in sharing, in adventure, in relationship.
  • It can only be [that way] when you continue to bring all adventures, all arguments, all explorations back to the love.
  • (The Divine Mother in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, April 30, 2019; also at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2019/06/01/the-divine-mother-it-is-all-a-journey-of-love/).

Do not Venture Where There is No Love

  • Do not venture where there is no love. Because, if there is no love, then there is no truth. And if there is no truth, there will not be peace and [peace], Sweet One, is the Plan.
