I love how the Divine speaks to me.
I had several people ask me, what is this SHIFT I keep hearing about.

I opened a book and received insight. This is an excerpt from Marianne Williamson, a luminary, and someone I have had the pleasure to spend a little time with personally, who I believe is such a blessing to us all.

This comes from her 1994 book Illuminata, and is in the very beginning in the chapter on Renaissance:

The antidote for what is fundamentally wrong is the cultivation of what is fundamentally right.

Should we choose to expand who we are on a fundamental level, new structures will replace the casualties of premillenial disintegration, and the next twenty years will usher in an age of light more dazzling than the world has ever known.

....Ultimately, the choice to love each other is the only choice for a survivable future. The meek shall inherit the earth because everyone else will have died upon their swords.

...The opening of the heart is an awesome personal politic, providing us with an internal strength greater than any worldly power.

As we receive God's love and impart it to others, we are given the power to repair the world. We have begun to recognize that our individual minds create our collective realities , and we are taking more responsibility for the world by taking more seriously our individual contributions to it.

Personal transformation can and does have global effects. As we go, so goes the world, for the world is us. The revolution that will save the world is ultimately a personal one.

We are learning, loving, lighting, shifting, being, and maturing into our TRUE SELVES.

MW says "We are looking not so much for more ground to conquer, but for a truer ground of being on which to stand inside ourselves. The most positive breakthroughs of our times are internal.

This history of the world is the history of control.... seizing someone's soul is the ultimate form of control, because without soul we are without love. Without our love, we are without our power."

So in my estimation, when each of us does what we each are called to do, in my case, free people's souls from any imaginary form of imprisonment, then all those soul seeds start sprouting, and when the time is ripe, a new earth is born.

Be the change, says Gandhi.
When we change, the world changes. So Be this.

 

Michelle's Prayer 8/2/08 (reprinted from shiftinaction.com)

This came to me today while I was lying in the sunshine....

Dear God,
Hear my prayer.

Heal me. Teach Me. Guide Me.

Heal my mind of all negative and irrational thoughts.
Heal my eyes so I can see only goodness and higher potential.
Heal my ears so I can hear only positivity and joy,
Heal my heart so I can only feel love and compassion.
Heal my body so it attracts only like-minded and soul-centered human beings.
Heal my soul of any generational beliefs or programs of separation and anxiety.

Heal this planet, oh lord, of narcissism sexism, hatred, jealousy, greed, and unconscious consumption.

Allow me to play a part in the evolution of consciousness.
Teach me what I most need to know and understand about being a being of Light.
Teach me to activate myself and others into inspired action.

Guide me, God/Goddess, to whom I can help and to where I can do the most good.

May my will be aligned with your will.
As the light of the U that I am, I bless the world and claim Success, Happiness, & Righteousness.

So be this now and eternally.

Response from Charles: 

Everything you've been inspired to pray, is already prepared for you to receive at an appointed time in your genetic development.

This is an unrealized truth because we rarely consider the linear path of our inner desire to be connected to a larger whole, and the outer part of us that is drawing our awareness and will bring our consciousness back to wholeness.

I really hope you remember this prayer you've poetically crystallized so you are prepared to witness the transformation you've requested.
It's very important that you become aware of yourself becoming what you've prayed for Michelle.
That is what "actualization by activation" is, okay?

I don't remember his name but, one the speakers in "what The Bleep Do We Know?" mentioned this process a couple of times.
We ask, and then observe opportunities to become.
And always express gratitude when you see something different about you.

If you ever feel the need to modify such a wonderful request for wholeness and unity with the invisible creator of all that is visible...

Add to your prayer, "show me how you..." or, "show me the way to..." or "open my understanding of...", "so that I may comfort others, with the comfort by which I myself have been comforted."

When ever I've requested any knowledge, wisdom, insight or understanding with this sincere intention...I've never been disappointed.

So, despite what we've erroneously been taught to believe for generations about life, living and successful survival:
Humanity's true intent for seeking Truth is to know Joy...
Our true intent for seeking Joy is to know Love...
Our true intent for seeking Love is to know we are One in the eternal reality.

That's why any and all of life's difficulties, disturbances, and dangers are so we will get to know the best of our better intentions

2 million people can't be wrong.


When Oprah had the webcast promoting the New Earth movement, and, millions of people all over the world tuned in to learn how to release their ego and allow their essence to be more present, I smiled.

I am so excited because that means more of us are awakening.  And when more of us are awakened and in action, life is going to get really interesting and fun!

You may think just because you are waking in the morning and walking around, you are "awake." 

However, what I know is that if your life isn't everything you dream it can be, then you might not be as awake as you think.

Actually, I spent much of my life "asleep at the wheel."  Even though I was pretty intelligent and even very into "self-help." I still had my blind spots.

During that time, I let life happen TO me instead of consciously creating everything I wanted my life to be.  I experienced the roller coaster ride of ups and downs, highs and lows, successes and set backs, all the while walking in a trance instead of ENJOYING THE DANCE!

Something (finally) woke me up. Actually several something's...a divorce, financial challenges, and two totaled vehicles!  All of this shook me to the core and woke up me to the realization that it was time to make some changes and begin co-creating the life I wanted to live... on purpose.

And my life has NEVER been the same since.

Tolle said during the webcast, that everyone has a spiritual teacher-suffering.

And that is true--- most of us have not experienced enough pain to learn a new way. 

We have to attract "wake up calls" in order to get our little rears in gear, and moving in a more divine direction.

Why is the process of awakening so powerful?

Take this story:

The  student asked the Buddha, are you God?

Buddha said no.

The student asked Buddha, are you an angel?

Buddha said no.

The student asked then what are you?

Buddha said, I am awake.

You can be "Buddha like" and choose to awaken (naturally) before the alarm clock goes off in the form of an accident, disappointment, break up, or other less than pleasant wake up call. 
How?  By getting a coach and turning on the light to take a good look at how your life is progressing.

What a happy day for us all, as President Obama and his family has moved into the oval office, a huge sense of HOPE has been resurrected.  

Change Has Come. 

His message of Conscious Responsibility and the emphasis on getting to work to heal and rebuild America brought tears to my eyes.

For we are all at a Choicepoint.
We can choose the easy road  (we already see what that has given us) or the higher road, the one that may be a little uncomfortable, but in the end,  will bring us the most peace and prosperity; not to mention make us into bigger and brighter human beings.


I vote for the higher road, and so I wanted to check in with you to see if you are willing to step up to be part of the SOULution and share your piece of the puzzle.

Here is a passage that represents how I believe the world really works and where I am coming from these days……

Some seem to be born with a nearly completed puzzle and so it goes.
Souls going this way and that
trying to assemble the myriad of parts.
But know this.

No one has within themselves all the pieces to their puzzle.
Like before when they used to seal jigsaw puzzles with cellophane.
Ensuring that all the pieces were there.
Everyone carries with them at least one and probably many pieces to someone else's puzzle.

Sometimes they know it.
Sometimes they don't.

And when you present your piece, which is worthless to you, to another, whether you know it or not, whether they know it or not You are the messenger from the most high.
(Lawrence Kuchner, Honey From the Pot)

Working together is the wave of the future, will you catch it or let it pass you by? And then wonder why nothing in your life looks of feels any different?

It takes courage to change.   It takes support. It takes doing something different.

Conscious seekers and light-workers have been aligning with 'Truth' for many, many years now.  Conscious Responsibility means digging deep and stepping into our role as light-bearers.
And sometimes peaceful but determined 'rabble-rousers'!
Hey, sometimes the status quo needs shaken up ;)

Before the membership drive ends, take a look at the immense value you will not only be getting (old matrix reality) to the value of what you will be giving (new matrix reality).

It takes a community of people in unity to create higher outcomes.
