Oneness is letting go of separation

Oneness is the letting go of Separation and becoming aware that we are energetically connected to all that is.

It is a State where one does not want to do harm to another, nor inflict wars of conflict in their outer realities that truly we create with our own intensions to be the Peace to a world that is constantly looking for wars to separate humanity.

All life on this planet have the same rights as another, it doesn’t matter their form, our forms are temporary but deep within is our Soul wanting to come out and show us the way in becoming one with all that is.

What we do to ourselves or others reflects out into this world, it is vital that we as humans come to the awareness that the only thing that separates us is our own minds that are constantly overthinking situations that are temporary and have no real relevance as to who we are becoming.

This is a evolution in Consciousness and as we move into the photon energy belt our awareness will sharpen, our thoughts of separation will fade for those of us continuing to align with the New Earth Energies to bring us to a higher resonance of consciousness.

Everything is alive there is nothing that isn’t and each part of this planet is sentient, which means they have a Soul, Spirit whatever one uses to label it.

As we move into our truest selves during these vibrant energy waves, the more aware we become of how important Unity is to all on this planet.

Unfortunately, there will be those who continue to play the duality game and choose to stay in a state of separation, but it doesn’t mean we don’t love them unconditionally.

These are grand times of our ascension process and as we just allow ourselves to flow with it all rather than attach to it with an emotional response, we are learning that our emotional states are only temporary, and we have the power in each moment to change how we respond.

There will be a lot of reveals this year, some we already know about and some we do not. This will tend to make things uncomfortable especially those who only focus on one religion or belief.

All will align and come to balance the more we continue to align with the energies we are receiving and keep ourselves grounded and balanced during these vibrant times of evolution.

Stay within your Heart Space and if one feels they need to react to an emotion, especially one like hate/anger/fear before you do take a moment to refocus and regroup because the kinder we are to all life on this planet the more compassionate we become with each other.

The New Earth is only a Place of Love, where we harm none and love all.

Have a Blessed Reflecting day and may we mirror each other with love and respect. So it is.

How to Teach Kids Manners Without Asking for the ‘Magic Word’ – Raised Good

She makes some good points , but some things sound alienated.

She states that if her 5 year old forgets to use his manners , she

does it for him…

I used time outs, corners and magic words .. proof positive my

” professional ” advisors , Dr Spock , articles in parenting magazines

and friends were misled ..

The main thing I grasp here is control..and I have experienced that

from DILs and seen the dynamics within their relationships with

other women and their Moms .

Why prompting, prodding and “teaching” children manners doesn’t work and eight respectful, positive parenting strategies that do.

Divine Masculine’s Mission

THE NEW MASCULINE REVOLUTION

There are a group of men on this planet who are preparing to explode all previously-held notions of what ‘being a man on Earth’ means.

These men are being contacted by supreme forces of destined evolution for our planet. Most of them have been treading a gently-opening path of growth and change for many years. They are aware that they are ‘different’ at a core level. They are hyper-aware that they do not seem to fit into established or traditional roles, inhabited by their own fathers, and forefathers.

In many ways, these men have been standing alone since childhood.

These are men that have always been vibrating at a deep level of higher consciousness, but they have not always been able to see it that way. Early on in this lifetime, they were born with a new directive that began ‘awakening’ them right from the beginning. These men have always been conscious that they were different. They were conscious of being pulled in directions that they did not fully understand, but being only shown one way of living ‘as a man’, continued to mould themselves into roles and relationships that were prescribed for them by culture and society.

These men always wanted to succeed. They always wanted to live up to their potential as potent wands of creative energy. They knew they had engines full of power and intelligence, fuelled up and ready to drive them into a purposeful life in the world. Some of them lived from this source of energy and power with recognisable success, and this was something that they could proudly tell their fathers. For a few moments, they could relax and know that their father approved of them; they were a ‘good boy’, a worthy man. This gave them a few more years of oxygen, a few more years of capability to keep being alive, despite the gnawing ache in their bones, the growing psychic sensitivity to being out in the ‘normal’ world, the inability to move with the herd, and feel satisfied with what all other men seemed to be content with.

Some of these men have never felt a sense of being a success. Some of them were so sensitive, so spiritually-anchored even from birth, that they ‘failed’ to reach the established societal goalposts almost from the beginning. Feeling an almost intangible alienation from everything they saw their friends, brothers, fathers, uncles and even admired role-models doing…some of these men may even have ‘dropped out’ of the net, sabotaged their own inner creative fire, numbed themselves to their spiritual acuity and extreme sensitivity. Obviously, many of the routes to doing this ‘dropping out’ involve what can become addictive behaviours; drugs & alcohol, non-emotionally or spiritually present sex, over-working or refusing to work, hiding and numbing within relationships or marriages that are not growth-inspired.

Most of these men – these actual pioneers of a new chapter in masculine energy evolution – have veered in-between these two extreme states. None of them have ever found what their deepest Soul-knowing would describe as ‘home’.

The New Age has arrived, and with it, some tolerable life-choice options for men like this who do not fit into the old patterns. Being ‘on a spiritual path’ has become a theme that can give some of these men permission to go and ‘just be’; to find themselves and escape the toxicity, the unbearable noise, the cacophony of voices that scream at them daily to achieve, conquer, strengthen, make money and more money no matter what human & natural destruction ensues, to dominate with ruthlessness and no heart, to crush all that lies in the way of owning everything at the expense of everyone.

No wonder they crave escape and a sunshine-covered beach full of the feminine-energy of Nature. Or a cave, where hermit-like, they sit and commune with the Divine: the higher freedoms of their lifelong-depleted spirits. No wonder they run for the hills, maybe even rejecting intimate relationships and sexual interaction, in the name of pursuing God, of pursuing a Real Objective, of pursuing their Hearts.

These men need a time-out from all this pressure to be what they never were in the first place.

They need a time-out from their father’s voice in their head.

They need to detox, to recover, to re-align.

They need to be….alone.

And yet in the nothingness, in the aloneness, in the silence, in the playful immersion into nature, in the blissful escape – in whatever form it takes in their lives – these men have come to feel that their existential restlessness – the one they have had since childhood – has not been alleviated.

In fact, it may have even increased in recent months and weeks.

There is something that they must do. Something that they must embody, rise up to, explode through, penetrate, seed creative potential to.

It involves their Hearts, they know that much, because their hearts are on fire with….what is it? Is it passion? Is it desire? Is it urgency? Is it Love?

It involves their Spirits, they know that much, because recently there has been such a Call to Spirit, so much synchronicity, so much divine alignment in their lives…it is definitely Spirit moving.

Are they capable of taking this risk, this jump?

Right into the heart of their beautiful, mighty, pulsating Soul’s Mission?

Their minds do not know what to do. Nothing is being laid out or revealed as concrete evidence. There are no guarantees, and whatever it is that is leading these men is so far away from the landscape of what their father has ever risked his heart or reputation for, that it almost makes these men want to curl up and die. Just stay in the comfort zone forever – even if that comfort zone looks like a New Age paradise.

What these men may, or may not, know – is that the Goddess pantheon is with them, so deeply, so profoundly, so revolutionarily, that they will not have to wonder about the pros and cons of taking a risk on themselves for much longer.

All of these men who will resonate with the energy of these words have been touched by the Hand of the Goddess, and the resurrection of High Feminine consciousness.

Some of these men have been re-initiated into the ancient temples of the divine feminine and ignited into new active sacred purpose.

What the Goddess knows is that there is Work to do, and that these men have been in-filled with new source-codes of direction.

The New Directions for these men – those who have a Contract to Return to uphold the Altar of the Sacred Feminine – are directions that involve taking their hearts into new territories. In some ways, they are risking it all, because they now have to stand up and be seen as the true warriors of Love that they Are.

And this means, demonstrating that Love in active purpose, in creative, meaningful, applied ways. It means being in relationships that are not allowing them to avoid the healing power of sacred intimacy – intimacy that requires their depth and their presence.

This Sacred Purpose is not about running.

It is about Staying.

It is about showing up, opening up, growing up and stepping up.

It is about moving into all the voids, all the empty spaces, all the terrifyingly uncharted plains of existence that these men’s fathers, and fathers before them, could not reach into.

It is about finally coming home to the unheard, un-noticed, un-witnessed, even un-loved, parts of themselves – and being admired, appreciated, welcomed and trusted for their spiritual uniqueness.

All of these rare and deeply-needed men are being held by the Great Goddess, and contacted by the Great Gods, and their emissaries.

This is their time.

This is the Time of Total Trust being extended to the Pioneers of the New Masculine Paradigm.

**********************************************************************

PART II

The Awakened Women opened first, poured out their wounded souls first, re-built the temples first.

Now it’s your turn, because we are here. Ready to shed our own last vestiges of betrayal, hurt, disappointment and suffering, arising from our own banishment and exile. Anything that may linger in the darkest, most secret chambers of our hearts and bodies is now being expelled and transmuted by the Light of the Goddess.

We are ready for you to become the phoenix and rise into your own sovereignty. We need and require your majesty, your shining presence, your solar fire. We celebrate your difference, and honour your journey thus far.

The temples have been built, the candles have been lit.

The fear you feel that keeps you waiting, keeps you hidden, keeps you stuck, keeps you making excuses, keeps you too comfortable, keeps you distant when you should be present – this fear has been witnessed by the Universe.

Whatever it is that you do now, you’ll no doubt feel scared to do it.

As you feel that fear, and do whatever it is that most scares you, but also most opens your heart and excites your soul – know that your Father – living or dead – is with you.

Whatever relationship you have with your father in this lifetime, whatever you have said, or not said – the spirit of your father is pushing you forward with approval. There is great healing here, a great transition to grab hold of.

Your father may never understand the complexity of your Divine Mission, or the contents of your Heart, but right now, in his deepest unconditional place of Love, he is willing you to expand further, penetrate the world more consciously, and to love deeper, than he ever could.

Men of the New Dawn – A message of love ❤️🫶🏼😘

A Higher Message of Love for Men

Accelerated Transformation of Male LightWorkers – Breaking Out of the Cocoon

We are now in such an anchored, relentless space of spiritual evolution that we are seeing legions of light-bearers waking up to their true purpose on an unprecedented scale.

Many of these beloved Light-Carriers and Workers are men, and it is necessary to acknowledge the very rapid and intense levels of inner transformation that many men on the path to full consciousness are now experiencing.

It cannot be underestimated how courageous these Men of the Light have to be. What these Ancient Warrior Souls are realising is that their Higher Selves have called in an intense Death-Rebirth process that will take them into total dissolution of the lower-male ego. This is so that huge inner processes can take place that strip the male psyche of it’s fear-based foundation.

The most helpful symbol to hold in mind for grasping this process is that of the Phoenix rising from the ashes, or the Death/Tower/Judgement cards placed together from the Tarot deck.

This is indeed a profound death of the old masculine energy paradigm. It is a walking away from all that is no longer vibrating with the male ascension journey. It really is a total rebirth; and in order to be reborn, a part of the identity must be allowed to die.

This is like the masculine sacred initiations of the Shaman in indigenous cultures such as Native American; spending the ‘night of fear’ almost completely buried in Mother Earth with only a tiny hold to breathe from. Being subject to all emotional ‘button pressing’ and even taunting from the Elders, in order to provoke the activation of a Higher Masculine Consciousness that burns away all lower forces of the ego.

Men of the New Age, you are being taken deep into your ‘night of fear’ now. Whatever it is that you have called into your 3D world to reflect back to you your own process of transformation, it is exactly what you need.

You are calling in your own Sacred Masculine Initiations. Your emotional buttons may be pressed into full alert. You may be taken into territories that terrify and deeply challenge you. You may have to cut ties and bonds with people and places that used to hold you in a comfort place.

You are being ejected, like a cosmic rocket of Light, into the Universe. This represents an extraordinary level of transformation: you could find that in a matter of months your whole life has changed from the inside out. You will be brought up against your deepest, most limiting and controlling fears. Your judgements of the world, what is and what is not possible, what you are guarding yourself against and how you are holding yourself back from full expression, majesty and glory – all of these tricks of the ego will be brought up into view.

You will have to face your inner demons, whatever they may be. Wheresoever you have been hiding your authentic masculine power, you will be exposed. But in fact, you will be revealing your own Light to the world, because you are creating all of these changes in order to grow and evolve.

It is time now for the Masculine Butterfly to go through intense periods of shape-shifting, death and rebirth in order to break out of the stifling cocoon and find His magnificent Wings.

Men of the New Dawn, you may find that you bring yourself to your knees during this time of finding the Light. But you are Warriors, you are the Great Protectors of Mother Earth, you are the Burning Flames of Courage and Victory.

Your new spiritual territories and heart-awakenings are coming to you.

You are in the process of finding everything that you need to awaken to, grow through, and live out your Holy Missions.

Never fear the symbolic Death and Rebirth process. You were made of invincible spiritual metal, with a molten, golden Heart Centre.

This is where you will find yourself:

deep in the Earth, during the Night of Fear, dying the Shaman’s Death.

Then in the Light of the New Dawn,

all is New.

This is Who you were always meant to Be.

A Shaman of the New Era.

A Warrior of Peace.

An Upholder of the Goddess-Centred Earth.

A Devotee of the Light.

We bow to you.
