How do you move steadily through an epic shift for the human race? How do you do what needs to be done for your Soul\u2019s work? And for the next generation? How do you steer with Love when you\u2019re dealing with polarized personal conflict and a world that looks like it\u2019s out of control?<\/span><\/p>\n

Focus on what YOU have the immediate power to control: <\/b>how you perceive yourself.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

We stop the outer wars by bringing peace to our inner battle.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIdentification causes suffering.\u201d Essentially, this is the first teaching of the Buddha. I\u2019ll put a finer point on it: <\/span>Misidentification <\/span><\/i>causes suffering. Misperception. An inaccurate conclusion of what we are.<\/span><\/p>\n

How we see ourselves and interpret the events of our lives are what creates suffering or fulfillment. Do you see yourself as the wound or the healer? The past or the present? Alone or complete? Competent, capable, challenged, doomed, blessed, supported?<\/span><\/p>\n

Misidentification is: <\/b>I am my personality traits and my body. <\/i><\/b>I am my career, my nationality, my reputation . . . my thoughts, my beliefs, my feelings. I am this \u201cself.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Truthful identification is: <\/b>I am pure life energy. I am a Divine Being.<\/i><\/b> I am a Soul. I am a ray of the Light of Creation. I am you and you are me. I am the Eternal Loving Presence. I am one with the Universe. I am Divine Love.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\"HTBL_110\"<\/span><\/p>\n

When we are conducting higher energy frequencies, virtues such as Love, Compassion, and harmlessness begin to dissolve our lower, fear-based energies. The higher subsumes the lower, and everything gets lifted into Loving awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we understand that we\u2019re divine energy beings and every single one of us is here to help humanity ascend to higher levels of Love, then our vanities and judgments seem . . . as petty as they are. <\/b>A lot of what the personality gives power to is inconsequential and meaningless. When you know that you\u2019ve incarnated to shine your eternally inextinguishable Light, does it really matter what people think of you or the car you\u2019re driving? Not so much.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Practicalities of Being Divine<\/b><\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s break it down, love:<\/p>\n

How does a divine perspective work when a problem surfaces?<\/b> Let\u2019s say you have a painful physical challenge that you\u2019re working to heal. The pain occurs. And before you choose your reaction to the pain sensation, you breathe into your heart and ask yourself, <\/span>What am I identifying with?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Are you seeing yourself as the pain in your body? You\u2019re bigger than any physical pain sensation. Are you the body that\u2019s holding the pain? Your energy extends far beyond your organs and skin. Are you the brain that\u2019s firing pain signals? No, that\u2019s just your biology. Are you the mental mind that\u2019s chattering to you about pain levels and remedies? Those are thoughts and feelings\u2014and you are most definitely not your thoughts or feelings.<\/span><\/p>\n

You are the consciousness that\u2019s observing the thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. <\/b>You\u2019re the Eternal Loving Presence that\u2019s witnessing your current personality and body having a particular experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

And that means that you can use your consciousness to transform the pain into healing. <\/span><\/p>\n

You are not the wound. You are the healer.<\/b><\/p>\n

So! When any type of pain occurs you can think, <\/span>I\u2019m Jane, and I\u2019m sad and scared, and this hurts<\/span><\/i>. Which is probably how you will feel because you\u2019re human. Hold those feelings ever so gently. But keep your energy moving toward your heart center. You can make a choice at that moment to stay stuck in the limited identification, or you can breathe into your heart and remember that \u201cI am the Eternal Loving Presence.\u201d And that means you have a universe of resources to draw on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or\u2026 you can keep believing that you\u2019re just Jane.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Okay, let\u2019s review:<\/span><\/p>\n

When a problem arises, what will you ask yourself? This:<\/span><\/p>\n

What am I identifying as?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

A small self or my Higher Self?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

My thoughts or my heart intelligence? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

My defenses or my natural openness? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

As the storm clouds or the infinite sky?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

As fear or as Love?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n
