Divine Discontent

(a soliloquy)

by Rev. Jackie Major

there are parts of me that understand my relationship with God

there are parts of me that are in doubt about how God feels about me

and then there are parts of me that doubt how I feel about God

I do know that there is a bigger part of me that is certain about my relationship with God, and also knows that God is certain about me, that I Am Loved and that I love God

this 'bigger me' seems far away yet always close, and is the voice that reassures when I can stop and listen

this 'bigger me' seems to be watching whenever I stop to think about It,

just like God Who is always Here and Everywhere --supposedly (grin)

God's Answer: "To be here is to be there when the time comes... (Grin)"

Soliloquy

Your Power to Choose, is an Opportunity to Choose Love in All Situations

I was just taking a good look over the 'astrological climate' in the weeks, months to come. We have powerful planet-aspects coming into to place that have been (not exaggerating) CENTURIES in the making. This means when these aspects lock-in- they are energies that are going to redefine our culture, whether it be US,-- or really, globally. BUT FEAR NOT, as these are the game-changers that we need in order to heal, to witness our chronic failures and limitations (culturally) of the past so we can create the new frequencies waiting to be born, that would heal humanity and it's relationship to this planet. 

This being said, we have opportunities to 'reset or reboot' our orientation to one that is committed towards healing, where our 'busy-ness' becomes our business to --always-- include quality time for -you FIRST. "As an empty vessel cannot fill anyone's cup." Therefore, to take a few moments to center your 'self' with a focused intention to simply send out a vibe of heart-felt-good-will into the world. You can only truly do this if you are able to feel this frequency within yourself first hand-- for your 'self', your circle of family & friends, community.

Remember "I am" sets up a frequency that aligns you to the 'God of Your Heart' and serves as an invocation to that which is your power- the ability to transmit love into the world from an authentic place. The phrase "I am" brings your intention to the present moment, wherein the present is the only place you can be powerful. I am love, I am healed, I am powerful.. I am sending LOVE out into the world to create miracles, no matter what the news is reporting, no matter what it seems like everywhere else.. as YOU ARE powerful! Thank you for being a part of this forum-- as I AM GRATEFUL for YOU! ~Namaste

Evolution of a Soul

This is a 'channel' (Divine flow of information) that came through while contemplating a deeper concern about deep soul healing for years. To understand what 'ego' is for and how to locate a connection to spirit when ego has sabotaged faith and trust in Higher vision and faith. Through the graces of a Higher Source, I have distilled this blog. I will deepen my own healing as a result of this potent and powerful information. May this information heal you in any way that is best served as well. ~Namaste, Jackie

"Part of the journey of soul evolution is to be immersed into ego where ego can only manifest while in the 3rd dimension. As the soul evolves from out of the ego-place, the density of ego softens as concepts are gained and spiritual awakening occurs. As the soul moves deeper into embracing the higher vibrations or frequencies of spiritual existence, subconscious ego will create challenges as the energy-field of ego becomes less and less engaged." (Non-attachment.)

"By virtue of the 'Laws of Attraction', we (evolving souls) will attract people and situations to help us form a deepening understanding of what it is that we are separating from, thus enabling us to engage and actualize the newer spiritual principles that we are choosing in order to progress our spiritual enlightenment." 

"Those who would present an ultimate challenge, reflect the energy that we are healing within ourselves. The externalized circumstances, the challenge, is amplified in an extreme or exaggerated way so that we -cannot- ignore it. The source (the person/situation) often are unconscious of their impact on you because they clearly are not on the same evolutionary path at the -same rate- you are evolving. These experiences are challenging you on many levels at once, so as to help you develop the muscles to 'intentionally raise your vibration on more than one frequency at a time'."

"When our soul chooses a higher vibration and engages in a spiritual mission, our ego helps us to forget this so that we do not get in our own way. By directly engaging in ego, we (subconsciously) create a paradox to force your spirit to access information -through- the denser ego field/vibration- so as to 'birth' the awareness experience as being a new awareness, giving deeper understanding of the souls evolution by an actual experience of 'unfoldment'." 

"This process is how we (humans) enlighten, our Higher Self (or the God of your heart) sends pieces of itself away on 'missions' (lifetimes) and these pieces when birthed into the physical plane (into a body) forgets all that it is so that it can relearn through a tactile-physical experience of what it already knows but in a new way. Ego in the 3-D plane blocks memory so that you can learn what you forgot and integrate memories experienced physically through emotional responses. Fear, anxiety, stress are all physical experiences that distract you intensely so you can gain a fuller, deeper, awareness of what it is that you already know on a higher frequency. When you enlighten, you integrate what was subconscious into consciousness and then you can see this whole process in its entirety and then, actualize enlightenment, thus raising your vibration."

"Energetic principles that move energy from past time to present time, such as choosing forgiveness while developing healthy boundaries, transmuting anger into love, fear into faith, are the earmarks of soul evolution as you recall a larger percentage of yourself from past-time into present time. Naturally occurring certainty, confidence and serenity are the result of integrating these concepts."

With deep gratitude,

Where Is Your Heart Today?

Recent events in the US news has raised a critical awareness of how racism persists in the legal system, where 'a jury of your peers' really isn't. Having been raised as a white middle class citizen, my own journey has been met with limitation and fear, as being a product of my own upbringing. My mother, Irish, from a poor blue collar family, raised us in an unconscious yet 'accepted bigoted' culture. During my childhood in the 1960's & 70's I was blessed to be exposed to those who would teach me otherwise.

What I became aware of was the 'assumed standard of superiority' that isn't even spoken but inferred. In my earlier life I had to recognize this within myself and make a CONSCIOUS choices to change, to allow and confront the fears that came with giving up a (false) sense of power.

Later into my adulthood, (1990's) I was at lunch with a friend & coworker, and she's a beautiful strong black woman. We were at a cafe run by mostly gays in San Francisco's Mission District where multicultural consciousness is 'the way'. To my own astonishment, the young white waitress would not look at my friend or take her order. At first I just thought she was scattered or distracted. Then my friend realized it was because she was black. At first I disbelieved her, I thought "Naw, not here, not in SF, not in the neighborhood that is mostly non-white!" Well, as the next hour moved forward, I watched her take other peoples orders. Some of the customers were white, some were mixed.. and she was ignoring the non-whites too! I was shocked. We realized she wasn't doing this intentionally, but unconsciously.

My friend was kind, compassionate and knew that I needed to have my consciousness raised. She said, the woman has been taught (unconsciously) to not see blacks. It wasn't even a malcontent on the waitress's part, it was pure ignorance and pure lack of socialization remnant from a poor upbringing. When we left her a tip, my friend wrote her a note instead. The note was to let her know that we are not withholding her tip not only from poor service, but also to help this waitress become aware of her 'blindness'. We left and of course, never patronized that establishment again. We called the owner and told her about our experience hoping this would be a consciousness-raising event all around.

This was eye-opening to say the least. I was startled to realize that my self portrait of being a liberal, open minded and feminist, needed some work. Ten years later, I found out I was at least one third Native American from my fathers side. (This is a whole other story!) But, when I learned of this it blessed me with a deepening understanding how 'unconscious fear' can be at the root of racism. I am not an expert per se, but drawing from my own life experiences, I learned that 'consciousness' navigated by the heart can change everything, your life view, your world view, your sense of personal identity. Your relationship to your community, your perception of right and wrong changes as you change and grow- mature.

Wrong is when you disregard anyone or anything because of their differences, their race, their religion, their lack of knowledge. Like my patient friend at lunch, I ask you to exercise patience, and creating a breath of space to allow your own heart, spirit and mind rise above. Please choose compassion, choose love for ALL humanity. Don't get caught up in a vibe of righteous vigilantism, and instead choose righteous indignation and then use this frequency to educate others. Allow your anger to be a catalyst for educating those who are your family and friends and offer up an all inclusive perspective. Be bold. If we work on cultural ignorance together, perhaps we can rise to a new standard of exercising proper justice, create a unified vision of what we as a collective consciousness can do to level the table of true justice rather than an antiquated product of bad education and ignorance rooted in fear.

Please pray and meditate for peace in these tense times, for love that transcends fear and invites a growing consciousness of community that embraces all diversity, realizing that diversity is a precious resource we all must preserve. ~Godspeed

Mother

None of us would be here unless we were born after a gestation of many months in our biological mothers womb. None of us can say that we came from anywhere else if we are human. The journey of life begins in the same moment of death. We gestate in our mothers internal body until it is time for us to come out, wherein the beginning of life inside of her ends, and we are forced into a completely different reality where the gestation experience has ended forever, akin to death and then birth, compressed within the same laborious moments.

We must accept this new life, and trust those around us as our family, our caregivers, our beginning support while in such a fragile and vulnerable state. You wouldn't be able to read this unless you were fed, cared for, looked after, and educated. From the moment of birth, each and everyone one of us has a unique life-evolving story, that when told becomes the foot prints of our souls journey. As we learn how to live on earth, we first learn to walk, then run, and even hide, we become captivated and truly lost at other times. No one-journey is identical to another, as we are each here with our own unique and powerful life mission.

The story we each have about our relationship to our mother is always deeply personal and powerful because it reveals the backdrop of why any of us are here. Some of our beginnings are the true-to-form storybook tale with powerful maternal love being at the foundation defining the essence of life, often cementing a deepening of your mother & father's love in their marriage. We align with an expectation of how love affirms the foundation of a meaningful and purposeful reality and therefore, as adults go and create the same experience with these beginning foundation-expectations.

Sometimes and often the case, we do not get the story-book beginning in our infancy and childhood. We encounter challenges where we have to navigate difficulties from any potential category of 'why'. At times we have to accept the help of strangers, to help us with a continued life, whether it be a relative, a neighbors mom, or a teacher. This is to say, we each come here with our own  personal mission with a spiritual blueprint encoded in our souls energetic DNA (Divining Natural Answers) with detailed specs of your life mission for being on Earth. The instructions are not revealed in a neatly organized folder with detailed instructions about your karma or life purpose organized in linear form. It is the array of life experience that presents us with situations that allow us to heal, evolve our beings, our souls, our understanding and forming life meaning as it relates to your choices and the importance of exercising free will.

Whether your mother was a loving maternal type, or a painful source of memories, remember, you were given birth and would not have been able to make it 'here' without being carried within her body. This is not an underlying message of  'you should be grateful', rather a message to love the blessings that come with being alive and if your mother is a strong positive presence in your life, honor her, let her know your expression of gratitude that represents your life, your grace, your transcended understanding of who you are together and what you have learned from her. Let her know that she isn't taken for granted.

If your relationship is /  was challenging, then remember you deserve to be honored for choosing life, to take on your self regardless of the many challenges that came out of your early beginnings. She was the beginning place for you to start your life, for you to get your footing no matter how events unfolded once you were born. Now, as an adult you can make choices that represent your heart's intention towards the life you choose to live. Through depth-perception and accrued life-experience you can listen to your inner-self navigation, through listening to and honoring your feelings. Your feelings identify where you can heal, where you have healed and gained strength, integrated wisdom and bettering self-esteem, as you walk your conscious journey.

If you can love your mother for what she gave you, love her and bless her for your gift of life. If necessary, forgive her for any misgivings, as forgiveness takes your soul out of bondage held in the energetic past. When we forgive, we regain our energy in the present moment to create and manifest the life we choose. Choose love, choose to be here now and witness all that is beautiful surrounding you in nature, even if it is just the grass on your lawn responding to the suns light and Earth's water, the trees budding, bee's buzzing, birds singing, as they herald the essence of all of life, the frequency from were we all have come. "As above, so below."

Wishing you the maternal joy of life-giving forces, whether it be through birthing your children, recognizing your mother or, your life as you are, the person you choose to be. Each new moment is a gift, to continually birth your conscious choice to live life in Loves breath.

Peace, Love & Light,
Jackie

Time to take care of YOU!

As seen in recent weeks in the United States, longer term distress in Syria, and seemingly never ending turmoil in parts of Africa, we grow accustomed to believing in the idea of the possibility of unexpected turmoil erupting anywhere at any time. Environmental horror stories such as what we are seeing in Alabama, Japan, and I am sure in many other places globally, it appears the human world in a state of chaos, creating a collective unspoken feeling of stress and generalized experience of being 'dis-at-ease'.

The point is this; we have more power in these situations than we 'allow ourselves to believe'. I say it this way because human consciousness IS evolving where thoughts have an evermore rapid influence in how events impact the creation of shared reality. As we evolve and understand how the energy of our thoughts influence world events, we can begin to heal on a large scale with little burden-- to any-single-individual. The key is to understand how taking responsibility without taking on ALL of the world problems. As paradoxical as it sounds, if we Truly did the latter, we'd all feel overwhelmed and completely stressed out!

WHAT WE CAN DO is take care of our own lives and become more aware of how we interface with our own interpersonal and echo-environments. When take on responsibility, we are socialized to automatically take care of everyone else first before ourselves individually from an ungrounded and often unconscious place of triage, an old paradigm invented in an attempt to prevent people from becoming self-centered or self-absorbed. Yet there is a need though, to attend to ones own interior so that when you direct intentions towards others, you are doing this from a conscious and self-enlightened space of positive self-awareness. THIS MEANS that when you tend to your own vessel first, you are coming from a place of integrity, personal compassion and not from a fear space of worst-case scenario reaction to fear.

There is a saying (paraphrased) that says "An empty vessel cannot fill anyones cup." The concept is that you cannot 'authentically offer assistance to another' without an awareness from where it is coming. This is to say, if you are offering scatter-shot energy frequencies, then the results will be scattered and diluted. So first, please tend to your own vessel, and repair the energy that inspires a feeling of being personally empowered through a space of self-care and nurturing.

Use this 'time of many adjustments' to TAKE CARE OF YOU! You deserve this more than anyone! Take time to offer yourself worthy attention, shift from ego-demands and simply acknowledge 'you' on a soul-level. When we do this collectively, we firm up the foundation from which we offer healing to others, and thus, add a frequency of deepening integrity of our shared collective heart.

We all have been through a lot one way or another in recent weeks, months and longer in some regions, and before you can get back into the race, your own vessel deserves YOUR love, self-compassion, a time to go inward and honor the blessed spirit that you are. First say 'hello' to yourself, pause, and allow yourself an abundance of LOVING Light too!

See you at 9 your time. Together we will send LOVE, LIGHT and the potent potentials of unconditional miracles to all who need it wherever they are, through the effortless effort of our collective hearts. ~Peace, Namaste, Good will, everywhere for all living things Great & small.

The Power of Free Will

What is it and why is this hard-wired into the core of our spirits, our psyches? We expect it, especially in the United States. We all have 'free will', as this is how we know when we have been oppressed, or are being oppressed or recognize when we see others being oppressed. There is this feeling of 'this is not right' within the core of our being when we witness human and animal injustice. Social organizations, cultural influences and how we govern ourselves all are an externalization of what (we) collectively believe to be true. This is why so much is shifting and changing all over the world. We are realizing that the social norms of the past no longer serve humanity or the planets ecology. We are awakening, raising our vibration and thus, rebirthing how we are, and how we see life.

We (humanity) are learning that a shared cooperative global culture is needed in order to survive, to shed an outdated patriarchal-arrogance that once served as a cloak of denial perpetuated by fear and division, our collective consciousness is evolving. As we begin to understand our own  consciousness as an integral part of Earth's ecosystem, we see how negative judgments only rob us of the richness of the biodiverse ecology we have been provided, in order to realize our intelligence in its reflection.. 

We have grown, we have changed, we are adapting to the demands of this time for which we live. An era where humans, no matter our faith, religion or political beliefs are on a real time table, leading to some form of critical mass so as to recognize the Living Planet as a symbiotic life-form. This time table is a result of our past neglect, past ignorance, and naivety. We now know that we cannot continue to strip-mine the planet for resources, that we cannot dump toxic waste and hope that it 'just goes away'. Plastics must be recycled, replacing paper products with hemp products, developing sustainable and clean technologies is on the rise, and so is the deepening awareness that burning fossil fuels grows evermore passe. 

Yet, when we become a unified force, we can make the changes we need to be balanced cohabitants of our beautiful planet. Earth is a living organism with intelligence that surpasses all of us (humans) put together. How we relate to Earth is an expression of our limitations, as we have been taught to take Her resources for granted. Future generations cannot carry on as we have, and expect a balanced, purposeful life. Yet, this very thought can be overwhelming and we often shut off further contemplation.

This sense of overwhelm is a belief in 'feeling powerless'. Feeling powerless comes from an old paradigm that we cannot effect change within our own lives that would have enough impact on the larger whole. This is challenging when the media creates stories that appear larger than life, only serving to contribute towards a collective apathy based on lies. It is an old pattern, an old belief-habit to not challenge authority, yet in this haze, we have elected officials who do not represent the people, let alone the well-being of our planet. These politicians represent corporate interests which only concerns itself with quarterly and annual profits regardless of what resources are taken from the environment.

So what do -we- do? Give up? How do we challenge powers that have overtaken our belief in being able to effect personal power? How many times a day do you (unconsciously) go into agreement that we (humans) are too screwed-up to be able to make REAL changes? 

Free will is built into our souls, the core of our interior, and when we integrate this instinct with good intentions for all, the power shifts to the majority of thought- the collective mind. We are seeing it already, within old religious power structures where to question them in the past would have been considered sacrilegious. There still are places on earth where death can result by questioning religious doctrine that revere others as less, or insignificant, and worthy of abuses. There is a paradigm change underway and we must support this change in our everyday lives, as it leads towards greater healing for all.

Please take 5 minutes of your day to release what was once thought to be true and in its place, visualize a free world, where love is the real currency, and we (humanity) have evolved beyond using fear as a mechanism to take power. When we embrace faith, we dissolve fear, when we dissolve fear, we see each other with fresh eyes and new beginnings, wherein the past becomes the past instead of recreating fear. (FAITH= Focused Authentic Intention Towards Healing, FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real. Faith dissolves fear.) See you at 9 your time!
