(Concluded from Part 1, yesterday.) No, says Michael. We can become angels if we wish but we don’t have to, to return to the One. We discuss the matter here: Steve Beckow: Is it true to think that there is an evolutionary spiral and humans become angels in the normal course of affairs? … Archangel […]
Standing Contemporary Theories on Their Head – Part 1/2
I’ve said before that some of what Archangel Michael and the Divine Mother have told me stands contemporary enlightenment theories on their heads. Here’s one example. Our return to the One is thought to involve a loss of identity. We cease to be and there is then only the One. That’s the theory. St. Paul […]
Hitching Up to a Prior Skill
I just had a major realization and, with it, an expansion in my feeling of adequacy. After last week’s high tragedy and comedy, I probably needed the boost. Since many of us will be assuming large assignments after the Reval, what happened may be of interest to you. I’ll have large obligations and I’ve been […]
Cognitive Dissonance Dispelled
This is a deep stretch of cognitive dissonance I’m going through and it bears looking at because many of us may find ourselves in a similar circumstance at some point. I’m knee-deep in editing a manual on restorative listening so perhaps I can also ask for your listening here to help me process and release […]
How Freeing It Is
There’s no doubt that I’m using this “quiet” time for introspection and purification. When it’s as quiet as this, I can observe myself and notice my thoughts, and all the crossed connections and potential short circuits. So I’m not just having the thoughts, but watching myself having them. (This is the awareness path.) I noticed […]
When the Revelations Come Fast and Thick
Jesus describes lightworker cognitive dissonance in his latest message through Pamela Kribbe. I found the passage remarkable: “In your hearts, a consciousness has awakened in which there is something new. You feel the call of your heart, while at the same time you feel you cannot adapt and fit in with the existing traditional consciousness, […]
Blossom Goodchild: My Turn!
Seeing How I Be
You know, I don’t know how I would have made it this lifetime if I did not treat each event as a learning experience. If I didn’t sense at some level that all of this is moving towards some grand culmination. If I didn’t know, at some place in my being, that things could be […]
Cognitive Dissonance in a Time of Chaos
Cognitive dissonance is the pressure that builds up in a person when a much-valued truth is brought into question or complained about or attacked. Cognitive dissonance is a house divided against itself. It cannot stand. Usually we either seek resolution eventually or have a lightbulb moment that resolves it. Or we can have a nervous […]
Message in a Bottle: In the Event that My Worldview Collapses….
Part One. I have a conference call in a short while and I asked myself: “How do you feel?” And the answer that came back surprised me: “I feel insecure.” Not “unsafe.” I don’t feel unsafe on any level. Michael has my back, front, and sides. But insecure. The distinction I make between them is […]
Completing Vasanas, Shifting Paradigms
Our personal purification, which is our way of preparing for Ascension and service, has many sides to it. I’d like to talk about two, in a general way. One side is to let go of all the residue from objectionable memories of earlier traumatic events in our lives. I call this residue “vasanas.” Linda calls […]
Paradigmatic Breakthrough as a Type of Spiritual Realization
Download a copy of Paradigmatic Breakthrough: Essays in New-Age Philosophy here In this article I’m going to look at paradigmatic breakthrough from a number of angles. A paradigmatic breakthrough is a discontinuous movement from one contextualizing understanding or point of view that has come to pinch and restrict to another more acceptable one. If the […]
The Worst Possible Virus: The Inner Hitler
When tension increases, awareness decreases. The converse should also be true: When tension decreases, (1) awareness should increase. And so, in the midst of chaos, my awareness appears to be increasing. Having dropped Constant Comment, weathered the eruption of Humiliation that followed, (pant, pant) I notice that I have reached a place of … well, […]
Whose Shepherd I am
So far the vasana with my Dad has manifested, as it did in 1986, as unbridled anger. But I seem to have left the anger phase now, and, even as the last fumes of father hatred dissipate, I’m beset by feelings of fear. This is a crystal-clear demonstration that anger sits on top of fear. […]
I Want More. I Want Better
Even as my feelings of competence and willingness increase, my sensitivity to non-credible name-calling and meme wars increases. I’ve reached a new level of resistance to dualistic/polarized news. Issues, memes, name-calling. I’ve had enough. And this came about as a result of what I read on what I regard as a leading spiritual/alternative news site. […]
