Shutting the Door Behind Us

One day I received an email from a woman who used to teach me yoga.
This beautiful and special woman was currently in the Hawaiin Islands,
where she had been for a month or two after leaving the mountains of
Flagstaff, Arizona for an indefinite stay in the islands. She had been
called to the islands for reasons that had yet to become clear to her,
and she was confused. After we had exchanged a few e-mails, she received
her clarity (of which she already knew, of course, and was only getting
validated), and then returned to Arizona. When she arrived back home to
the mainland, she e-mailed and asked when I would be back in Flagstaff,
as she wanted to connect. It just so happened that I was going to be
there in the next few days. Although not close friends, it seemed that
this meeting was an important one none-the-less.

As we connected over a cup of tea, she suddenly gave me a very important
message. This message hit me so powerfully, and validated so intensely
what I had been seeing for some time now, that I had no doubt that this
was the purpose of our meeting.

She told me that she had been concerned she might not like the islands
or fit in there. Her friend who was currently living there immediately
corrected her by saying, "No. It is really a matter of the islands liking
you." He then proceeded to tell her that she or anyone for that matter,
is not automatically accepted by the locals. If the locals do not feel
comfortable with someone, they will not accept them or open up to them,
which many times encourages that person to leave. For those they love
and accept, they will embrace and welcome with open arms. Her experience
in the islands proved to be more than she had ever hoped for. She said
that she had never felt more love, caring, unity, and support at any other
time in her life, and greatly missed this energy when she returned to
Arizona.

The Hopi tribe here in the Southwest has a similar philosophy. They will
not allow just anyone into their world. I have found them to be some of
the most welcoming, loving, and open people I have ever known. But if you
cross them in an inappropriate way, they will not hesitate to take
appropriate legal action against you. They know their boundaries.

After spending much time at the ancient sites here, I believe that a very
similar philosophy was present with the ancients as well. The ancients
utilized what I refer to as "cover sites," or sites that presented a passive
, peaceful exterior of feminine energy which was only what they allowed to
be revealed to a visitor. One particular site, perfectly poised at a
bottleneck entrance to the Mogollon community of many other scattered
sites, was utilized for much trading and was thus, very open to the
outside energies. This particular site was poised in an area where visitors
and travellers would most likely end up as they first neared the Mogollon
community.

Not openly visible to its many visitors was the fact that it was really a
"cover site" which encouraged outsiders to believe that what was revealed
was all there was. And hence, not much interest was promoted for continuing
on past this site and into the Mogollon community. Other powerful and
valuable energy and ways of being were hidden beyond this site, but one
might never know as these ancients revealed themselves to most as very
simplistic and plain.

Many other individual sites were macrocosmically laid out in this fashion
as well. Behind a "cover," or area of each site which would be accessed
first by a visitor, existed some very powerful acitivites and structures
that were simply being protected from any intruders. A simple more basic
existence was revealed first...usually a farming area or area for community
trading. But if one were allowed to traverse further into each site, one
would encounter the real purpose and power of the site.

So in this way, not everyone was allowed in. As the Mogollons were a
peaceful and highly evolved culture which still contained the pristine
energies of the "very beginning," these sites were being protected by
the powerful but subtle energies of illusion. In addition, the ancients
vacated their communities in one big whoosh many times. This was because
they were very aware at a higher level that lower vibrating energies would
be arriving in due time. They knew then, that they must indeed leave, as
their higher vibrating cultures would then be contaminated and dominated
by this newly arriving energy belonging to other individuals. The ancients
left when they knew that the tide had turned...that the tide had turned and
another lower vibrating reality was ineed on its' way. In our current
reality now, it is just the opposite. A newly arriving higher vibrating
reality is on its' way.

In many areas on the planet, this same scenario is happening now. Whether
it be higher vibrating countries being invaded by much lower vibrating
countries, cities and towns being over-run by different cultures that are
bringing in some lower energy, or simply a dominance of dis-respectful, new,
and unaware employees taking over a workplace. This is occuring because we
are indeed switching over, but the higher vibrating energies are still in
the minority. In this way, those bearing more light are retreating to their
sanctuaries, relocating to new and different geographical areas, or simply
buying land and staying put until the fall is complete. Eventually, the
majority will be comprised of higher vibrating energy. The see-saw effect
of transition can be tricky at times, but as always, everything is
transpiring in a divine and perfectly orchestrated way.

The law of spiritual hierarchies supports this reality as well, because
higher vibrating energy cannot exist alongside lower vibrating energy.
If you were to look through the dimensions, you would see a perfectly
orchestrated and divine plan at work. There is no judgment with this plan,
as it is simply a matter of physics and energy.

So then, it is part of the evolutionary plan to "shut the door behind us"
after we arrive in a higher dimension. We are not required to allow everyone
into our spaces. It is perfectly OK to have healthy boundaries, and with
the higher dimensions breaking down many of the old denser energies, our
boundaries are more fragile and thin than ever before. In this way, it is
vitally important to stay behind "the veil," or rather, within our higher
vibrating creations and spaces. We have lost many of our old defense
patterns as they were vibrating lower. In this way, it can now be difficult
to exist with less boundaries, and with the now more innocent and pristine
energy within us, when our outside surroundings are vibrating so much lower.
We may feel very vulnerable and defenseless in a world that still seems to
present a threat.

This situation of shutting the door behind us is perhaps one of the most
important of any of the aspects of the ascension process if we are to
remain sane, and may even seem strange since unity is such an important
concept in a higher vibrating reality. The higher we begin to vibrate,
or the more evolved we become, the more uncomfortable it is to be in any
aspect of the old world or old reality. Spending any amount of time there
can serve to throw us off balance, make us feel extremely uncomfortable
and edgy, make us wonder if we are indeed residing in hell, and break us
down into a weakened state.

If lower vibrating energies cannot be in the same space as higher vibrating
energies, why do we need to set strong boundaries at all?

Boundary issues become ever important the higher we vibrate. This is
because energetic boundaries are now much thinner. There is less density
present, just like in the very higher realms where the angels hang out,
for instance. But at the same time, because we are going through an
ascension process, things are a bit different. In the reality where the
angels hang out, there are no threatening, dangerous, or lower vibrataing
and lost energies! We may be residing with less density surrounding us, but
most of us are still embodying some traits that vibrate lower. So then,
because we are continually in transition through this process, we are
getting a little of this and a little of that as we move up the rungs of
the ascension ladder. In so may ways, this transition creates one big mish
mosh, as we are not yet completely here or completely there.

In this way, we may still find lower vibrating energies within our spaces.
Why? Because there is an overlap somewhere, or rather a matching energy
beween ourselves and the "unpleasant" intruder, and we have then created
an open door. The matching energy might simply be an instance of two
individuals wanting to develop new friendships, so they might both have
that in common. Or perhaps two individuals both enjoy bowling. When the
two individuals are focusing on and connection soley through bowling
energy, things may seem to feel pretty good, but then one individual begins
to demonstrate lower vibrating behaviors and the relationship then becomes
uncomfortable for the one vibrating higher.

Any overlap energy creates an open door. Thus, there then exist energies
in our spaces that are not a match at all, as they have arrived along with
the overlap energy.

Another scenario involving boundaries relates to those who are seeking
light, but want to get it from another person. In this way, an individual
who is bearing more light will feel drained, used, perhaps abused, maybe
even violated, and eventually wants to flee. One individual will be very
happy and the other individual will be very uncomfortable. The more light
we embody, the more we will attract others. This sets up a situation
requiring an understanding of healthy and necessary boundaries.

Navigating the Dimensions...Staying Sane and Connected While in the
Lower Vibrating Energies

There is a solution to this dilemma and/or aspect of the ascension
process involving boundaries, that can keep us in the higher realms
and allow us to remain balanced, in states of peace and joy, and living
our dream lives while wondering if we have indeed arrived in Heaven.
Of the many ways of being that we eventually evolve into, there are
three that become important and extremely helpful in regard to navigating
the dimensions and staying sane.

1. Letting go of compassion and moving into love.
2. Letting go of supporting and allowing others to suffer.
3. Protecting ourselves while in the lower dimensions through
the energy of love.

These states of being might sound cold and incaring, but I can assure
you that anything else only derived from a 3D way of thinking and being.
So many times I have said that the higher realms is not what we may have
imagined it to be, and this is yet another example. As we begin to vibrate
higher and expand and grow, we indeed find that what we might have believed
to be a higher way of being, quite simply, was not.

During my lifetime, if I had heard it once I had heard it a million times...
"You are such a compassionate and caring person!" Little did I know how much
this trait would eventually bite me as I evolved. It first began when I
found out that my neighbor, whom I dearly loved, was recovering from a
kidney stone. I cared so deeply and resonated so deeply that I got a kidney
stone within a week. Several weeks later my sister-in-law and both brothers
were having trouble with nerve pain in their legs along with lower back
pain. The next day, I had the same, but this time, only briefly. Next, my
step-mother was scheduled for surgery to remove a lump in her thigh...
hopefully not cancerous. Within a day or two I developed a lump on my thigh.
Jeez! What was going on here?

I soon discovered that deep caring and compassion vibrated lower than
love and only existed in the old reality. Each time that I cared too much,
my energy would literally drop down lower and I would connect in an
unhealthy and non-productive way. Over and over I had this experience.
One particular evening I was concerned about my prior husband from a brief
marriage, as we had recently parted and I was very worried about him.
Suddenly, in dropped my non-physical companion (who only shows up rarely
with very important messages ), who very susinctly told me that I was
running my energy completely wrong. Oh, how he loves to catch me when I am
going down the wrong road and hurting myself!

Well, after weeks of getting this message, I nearly had a breakdown as my
identity was severely compromised. After sadness, tears, grave disappointment,
feelings of being invalidated and seemingly worthless, I finally began to
get the hang of shifting out of my old self and into someone new. I simply
did not know how to shut off my feelings of compassion and deep caring. If
I could not be the me I had been my entire life, who in the world was I now
supposed to be? Was I supposed to stop caring about others? Was the main
component of the way I ran my energy now being completely shut off? And I
have to say, I now felt completely shut off myself....turned off, shut down,
and eliminated! But eventually, I found a new way, became a new me, and was
on my way once again.

As always, the ascension process continues to make new people out of us.
This is why we may often wonder who in the world is staring back at us when
we look in the mirror, and may wonder just who is speaking the words we
hear coming out of our mouths. We eventually lose an awareness of ourselves
as we embody more and more Source energy within us. And this is how it is.

So then, when we are in states of compassion and deep caring, we are giving
energy to and fueling the situation which we are compassionate about.
Resonating too much with a situation which is not ours eventually becomes
ours if we resonate too deeply. We end up going where we need no longer go.
We need not make another's journey our own. We are no longer vibrating at
that level, so then, situations or experiences which require compassion are
not longer in our own individual realities. In this way, being in states of
compassion takes us to the old world and the old states of being that will
drag us down. Love is the key here. We can still show our deep caring and
concern, but we can now show it in the form of love.

Love vibrates very differently and much higher. Love tells another that
"I respect your journey, as it is yours." Love tells another "I know that
what you are going through is part of your soul's desire and plan." Love
tells another that "I love you always and know you can handle your situation
." Love tells another that "you are deeply respected and highly revered."
Love tells another that "I am here to listen." Love tells another that
"you matter to me." Love tells another "I will be by your side."

So what about the energy of support? Are we supposed to quit supporting
too? Do we get to have any positive and helpful traits at all? As a
life-long supporter of the dreams of others and the many situations of
others, this one was a tough one for me as well.

In June of 2008 we experienced a substantial movement of energy with the
arrival of the solstice on June 21st. It seemed that nearly everything was
knocked out of its groove and left flying around with seemingly no
familiar home. We had reached a very important turning point in the
ascension process and this event created a very new state of being for
many of us.

It was now time for "the fall" to begin in earnest. Many with the gift of
sight and vision had predicted that 2008 would be the year of new beginning
s and great abundance for many. But by June, nothing much had changed
and many felt down right awful at best. Where was all that abundance?
Where was our very new beginning? We had decided as a group of souls to
give as many as possible the opportunity to expand, awaken, change, and
grow...to make perhaps different choices in their lives....choices made without regard to money or perhaps with a new knowingness of what was really and truly important to each and every one of us. This then, created the big delay in this new time of very new beginnings.
So then, the solstice of June 21st added to this very important phase.
Much was shaken up, much was usurped, and insecurities, suffering,
confusion, and choas resulted. It was a very difficult time. But not only
was it a difficult time for those who were suffering, but it was difficult
as well for the loved ones of the suffering, even if they were very fine in
their own lives and circumstances.

At higher levels, those who had gone before and were thus more situated,
were being prompted to stay out of the fall, to stay out of the suffering,
and to simply stay put where they were. This manifested in strange ways,
but basically, many of us had to watch from the sidelines. Why? Because our
presence alone in areas that were falling would only serve to hold them up
longer, and they needed to go. Many of our loved ones still needed to hit
rock bottom before they were willing to wake up and make a change. Thus,
saving them or supporting them by holding them up and possibly aleviating
their circumstances would only serve to hinder the very needed fall.
Individual souls needed to come to a point where they were ready to "ask"
for help, or for something new and different. They needed to be ready and
willing to let go. Holding them up through our supportive energy would only
serve to prolong the existence of what needed to fall. Thus, supporting
was seemingly prohibited.

During this time, enough had now crossed over to "the other side." When
this occurred, everything else was most ready to fall. It was time. The
other side was secure and safe....a place where all our needs would be met
in an effortless way. And going down with the fall was not our original
intent or plan. Most of us bearing light have been very used to supporting
or bringing light into situations, and now this role was over forever.
Done, never to return. We had accomplished a monumental task and now we
could rest. No more supporting, holding up, extending, and infusing our
energies into the old and denser reality to hopefully bring it "up."

Who were we now? What now was our very new role? Without being able to be
compassionate and supportive, what in the world were we supposed to be
doing with ourselves? Could we no longer simply brighten anyone's day,
or were we now supposed to shut down and become invisible?

Very simply, we had successfully crossed over to the other side. Here,
there is no suffering. Here, compassion is then no longer needed. Here,
we need not support or hold anything up as each and every one of us can
hold their very own space with the support of Source energies and our own
bright lights. Here, we can easily and effortlessly create whatever we
choose, all by ourselves. Here, there are no ties that bind us. Here, we
need not hold the energy for another, ever again.

But what happens then, when we need to leave "here" and visit that old
world in another reality that is still partially poised in the lower
dimensions? How do we assist others who are still traveling up the
ascension ladder or who are being seriously affected by the fall?
And when we need to interact with some of the old systems, as we still
sometimes do, how do we do this without suffering greatly from all that
old and very unpleasant energy that nearly kills us to be around?

Love is our greatest protection. Over the years I have heard of different
psychic remedies providing so-called "protection" from dark forces or the
like. But the higher we evolve, the more we realize that keeping our own
vibration high is the best protection ever. Intentionally doing anything
is not a way of being in the higher realms. Sending light to others,
smudging to remove denser energies, or even surrounding ourselves with
light eventually becomes very moot. There is too much extending here and
too much of our old ego selves making things happen. In the beginning
stages we may have felt more comfortable performing these rituals, but
eventually we will find that we no longer need them.

Staying in a state of love as much as possible when we visit the denser
energies or old reality is all we need do to stay centered, peaceful,
and grounded. But at times, this can be a very tall order indeed. After all,
we are only human and still evolving. This is why we can only stay in
these denser energies for limited amounts of time and then we must retreat
to our sacred spaces. It may sound harsh, self-serving and a bit strange,
but it is a good and solid remedy to keep us afloat and feeling good so
that we can assist others in our own special ways. As always, a simple fact
of how energy works is that higher vibrating energies cannot stay in the
same space as lower vibrating energies.

Just like a simple flower in nature, when we know who we are, are very
comfortable being just that, can stand firm and steady within our true
selves, not taking things personally, and simply being comfortable with
our true, authentic, and divine selves, we can then be much less affected
by any lower vibrating energies which may surround us.

Add to this, being in a state of love as much as possible and feeling
this love for our brothers and sisters while seeing who they truly are...
their true, authentic, and divine selves, can greatly ease our time spent
in the lower dimensional realities.

When we find that we are suddenly in the company of an energy which does
not feel good to us, it can help if we stop to identify what our overlap
or like energies are about....in other words, why we connected in the first
place. Staying in that arena or subject matter as much as possible while
ignoring any others, along with focusing on the divine gifts and talents
of that individual will greatly assist in keeping our lights shining and
our vibrations high when we are not in our sacred spaces.

We are most certainly morphing into the angels of the earth, one by one.
As our angel wings continue to sprout (that never ending stiffness and
pain in our upper back and neck ), we become more like the angels who have
loved and watched over us each and every day. So then, eventually we will
be the angels of the earth, as we drop down into the lower dimensions to
assist and serve, while spending the remainder of our time in our Heaven
on Earth.

By simply being who we truly are...our pure and authentic selves...we can
thus keep our light shining brightly while we make our own special
contributions through our sacred gifts and talents.

Do you know who you really and truly are? Do you know what your very
special contribution is? Do you know why you are here on this Earth at
this particular point in time?"
