Where we place our focus in situations, the choices we make, our belief system and our experiences shape the way in which we perceive the world and how we continue to experience it.
I love the way in which teaches and lessons from my higher self and guides tend to come in sections, perhaps I am a slow learner and it takes me longer to understand. I like to think it is because I need to see it from different perspectives so that I can share it with others because we all come from different perspectives in how we perceive the world.
I awoke on Monday morning with the nudge to write this blog. Yet, it has taken me 4 days and much has happened since I originally started. I wondered why and now as I am writing this I realize that my perception on Monday is different that it is today. Why? Not, because events in the world based on choices by humanity have come into play and I have had to reevaluate and readjust my perspective.
I thought about should I write more, my blog yesterday although probably my shortest yet, stated my shift in perspective and hope and focus for the future. Yet, I awoke with the same song in my head as Monday. The highlighted words are the ones that were running through my brain, but the message involved all the words of the song.
The Sound of Silence – 1964 – Simon and Garfunkel
Hello Darkness my old friend,
I’ve come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping
Left it’s seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains
Within the Sound of Silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
narrow streets of cobblestones
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night, and touched the Sound of Silence
And in the naked light I saw, 10,000 people maybe more
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing sons that voices never share and no one dared
Disturb the Sound of Silence
“Facts”, said I , “You do not know, silence like a cancer grows.”
Hearing words that I might teach you.
Take my arms that I might reach you
But, my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the walls of silence
And people bowed and prayed
to the neon God they made
And the sign flashes out its message
In the words that is was forming
And the sign said, “The words of the Prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls.”
And in the Sound of Silence.
So what is my new understanding and message about this topic today.
DARKNESS AND LIGHT
One of the pieces of the thought came from a message brought forth by the Higher Self of another. When they were asked what message they would share with people it was “Darkness doesn’t exits. It doesn’t exist. It is a construct of human thought. Humans created it and thus they believe it exists. But outside of the consciousness of humans on Earth it does not exist.”
This would be a hard concept for many to believe and/or understand for we have within our belief systems and media that concept of dark/light, good/evil. Belief in these concepts allow us to blame something outside of ourselves for our problems and to justify our actions and words.
This allows us to be the victim and not have to accept the consequences of our choices and actions. ‘The devil made me do it.” Every thought, every word, every deed in our life is our choice. We can stop at any time and be mindful and take authority over ourselves and our lives. This is called Self Mastery and Sovereignty.
The ‘devil/evil/darkness’ don’t exist outside of our thoughts. There is an influence that we can choose to allow in to fog our thoughts. Whenever a planet is created it has a creational matrix. That matrix holds the thought/vision of the way the planet looks and the akashic of the various life forms on the planet and individual akashic information. The energy of thought patterns agreed upon create new accepted forms and systems upon the earth. This is called mass consciousness. When we are born we receive of veil of amnesia that causes us to forget we are sparks of creation and we are connected into mass consciousness mainframe in order to understand and operate on earth within the creation matrix. HOWEVER, unfortunately this records all thoughts higher and lower vibration of all humans for all time. This is the influence outside of ourselves over which we must take mastery that our thoughts are ours alone and aligned to our higher self and the greatest good for all to obtain SELF MASTERY and FREEDOM or SOVEREIGNTY. It always comes down to our free will choices.
The darkness exists only in our thoughts, we created it and now we must make a choice to disconnect from it. However, first we must remove the remnants of energy it has within ourselves to stop the triggers. The darkness/shadows we hold within our DNA, our memories, our inner child, our beliefs, experiences, vows and contracts from other lifetimes, our karmic patterns. Our inner child holds the traumas of this life. Our DNA holds the trauma of our ancestors and our past lives. We store within our energy bodies the past life memories, or contracts, vows, agreements and even chords of connections to others which karmically connect and influence us.
We must make the choice to do the work to clear ourselves. Someone may tell you they can clear them, but like in healing it is only permanent if you are actively participating , fully and consciously ready and willing to release and transform them.
THIS NEEDS BE DONE WITH LOVE AND FORGIVENESS. This isn’t about saying I am bad for having these thoughts or energies within me. It is about saying I NO LONGER WANT OR NEED THIESE AS PART OF MY LIFE. I have learned whatever lesson they were to teach me. I forgive myself for my past actions, I forgive others who I believe may have hurt me or actually did.
I love myself as I am . I know that I am loved unconditionally as a spark of creation and as such all life is part of me and worthy of love.
I realize that we are all learning and they choices others make can only affect me if I choose to focus on them as having a harmful affect on me. It is the right given to all of us to choose. However, it is where we choose individually to focus our thoughts and attention that create our experience of events.
“When we change the way we look at things. The things we look at change.” Dr. Wayne Dyer
That is one of my favorite quotes of all times. It sums up how we create our world and experience by where we choose to focus our attention. In a book called “Love without End” by Glenda Green she writes about Jesus coming to her to paint a picture of him and during those sessions they talk and it is the sharing they have that is written in the book. He speaks much about loving each other and to learn to perceive the world with the ‘innocent eyes of a child’.
Innocent objective perception is what a child has. They come into a world and all things are new. They don’t see bad or good, they simply look, see things as they are without a story or judgment and experience it. Their parents teach them to judge through rewards and punishment for accepting and continuing to live by their beliefs and viewpoints. For that is how they learned to view and live in the world.
In the song the neon lights are the perceptions and beliefs we hold that are embedded in us by the media as well as the people in authority in our lives from early childhood. An authority can even be peers or social groups to which we wish to belong. They tell us what to believe and how to act.
The Sound of Silence is within us. This is the place where we connect to the Soul Spark that we truly are, our Higher Self that is and always has been ONE with ALL THAT IS. It is our true guiding light. The Neon signs are simply a distraction from our Inner Light and guidance within the Silence.
People talking without speaking, when ones reiterate old beliefs without thinking about if that really rings to the truth of their being. People appear to listen but in reality they are not hearing the other for they are thinking of what they will say next to bring forth and defend their perspective. Why do we need to defend our perspective or convince others? Do we have doubts? Why can we not simply allow them their beliefs as we want them to allow us ours?
How many are called to bring forth a message and yet the fear of reprisal from others prevents them from answering their call and they remain silent. Recently I was reminded of the witch trials and the Inquisition of the ‘dark’ and middle ages. A time when those who were different were persecuted and killed for simply thinking, looking and acting differently.
These memories are resurfacing to be cleared at this time. All that is a blockage within us are surfacing to be cleared so we can be free. This blog isn’t about telling you how to clear them but to say it is time to choice where you will focus your energy.
Will you rage against the ‘darkness’? Or will you turn your head and focus upon the light. Will you waste your energy attempting to change the minds of ones who will not hear you? Or will you clear the clutter within your own being so the light may shine purely through you to touch their hearts. You cannot change another’s mind, but the LIGHT can enlighten and light the way for them to make the choice themselves.
BE THE LIGHT IN THE WORLD. Don’t rage against something but instead
Be the change you want to see in the world. Place your focus upon being Light, Love and Compassion. Let us change the NEON light’s message.
In light and Love
