When Reese and I were coming back from lunch March 30, 2016, I was shown a potential catalyst for The Shift that is in motion with intense vibration as we write this.​ They showed me to put the call out for us to start holding the energetic space for all those supporting the current broken system, holding the vibration for them to see the door, the adjacent door of the new way vibrating before them. Help them to feel the truth of this real option, help them feel this is feasible. This can be done.   

We are being asked to hold this energetically, in prayer, in meditation, and in our hearts, that those supporting the failing system will step through the change and withdraw their support from those in power who lack integrity.

We are also being asked to help them see and feel that there is a choice. They can walk through the door for change, the door opening to the new way. Our gift to them can be holding the space for their awareness that this choice and opportunity to withdraw their support vibrates before them.

Spirit showed me to start teaching about balance, represented by the example of “Gray” (this-and-that) instead of seeing our healing and our feelings in black-and-white terms. I was shown to expand on the common perspective that we should strive to mostly feel good, light, and positive. In expanding on this perspective, I am not saying it is bad or wrong, but I am hoping to create room for the multiple ways people came to be. I am not the first to offer this understanding, nor shall I be the last.

Ultimately, we are all connected and Source is Oneness. But when we come down to this plane, most of us are here to experience our uniqueness through some level of separation and individuality. This is where most of the confusion seems to arise. We have a tendency as humans to have a one-way-to-be syndrome, so it can be especially confusing when we actually tap into Divine truths, such as Oneness.
​
I honor that the feeling of connection and Oneness is a valid and real path. There are people who came to experience this as their lesson. But the journey to experience and learn from separation and individuality is also a valid and real path. This is where I am trying to balance and expand into this-and-that: Gray, as opposed to black-and-white.

Another element of confusion is about The Shift people are anticipating, where we will come to the place where we all feel connected, even on this plane. This is not yet here.
​
Currently, a segment of the population is here to experience their unique offering through some level of separation, learning to connect from some degree of individuality and uniqueness.  The degree of individuality is like spokes in a wheel. Source is the outer wheel and we are the separate spokes within.

Part of balance is understanding this as a continuum. On the continuum, either side of the population bell curve will be leaning toward some form of separation or toward some form of connectedness. The middle of the bell curve holds some level of separation and connectedness combined. And then there are the outliers that came to either be totally separate or to feel total connection. They are holding the ends of the continuum, helping create balance, and are just as real, valid, and needed as the middle bell curve experience of unique separation and connectedness combined.
​There are many ways to experience and be in life. One perspective is to try and rise above things, or try and let them go. From what I have been shown and experienced, this is generally a tool to be used based on the context of whatever the person is facing, not as a general way of being for most people.

If rising above or letting go was effective as a mainstay for conflict and problems, then things would not be getting bigger and deeper, as our current culture shows. In density and ignorance, rising above or letting things go as a primary tool only allows that current of density and ignorance to get bigger. These are needed tools, but when we are working with the element of outrageousness, this would not be a time to use these tools.

Again, there are many ways to experience and be in life. There are many coping skills, ways of healing, methods to handle problems and issues, and many different lessons to learn and ways to learn them.
​
What we have seen is when people use, “I’m supposed to rise above things, not let them bother me, and just feel positive,” as their major way of coping, then they still have most of their stuff in their energetic and physical body, and the dense charges sitting in there vibrating, waiting.

​This does not heal the wounds or solve the issues at the heart of the wounding. Being positive and rising above does take some of the charge away from the wounding. This is real. Which can confuse people, because they do feel better, and they are partially healing the charge of that particular issue or wound. For some people this is the level of healing they are meant to reach. For others, deeper healing at the heart of our wounds is what is needed.

If the heart of our wounds and issues are charged and big enough, life will be triggering these places in us, and we will then need to rise above more and more in order to not feel our charged wounds or issues, thus creating a dissociative state.

​We are being asked to experience our humanity in various and unique ways. The people who came to experience rising above and letting go as a primary way of being are so aligned with this tool that they can stay completely in their bodies and connected, because this is truly what they came to experience. For the rest of us, from what I have been shown and experienced, this is to be used as a tool based on the context before us.​

“I want to feel good all of the time,” has a high potential for humans to create addiction. A great part of the experience of life is feeling and dealing with a variety of feelings and emotions. This is a big piece of the puzzle, a spoke in the wheel of our humanity.

If we were to understand that a lot of the population is here to learn, transform, and integrate what our culture considers negative, our shadow, then experiencing our lives and emotions would not seem so bad. Nor would it seem like it was something to get out of, but rather something to be walked through, lived, and transformed.

Without this context, the message of Oneness can create for a lot of people the experience of dissociation. When people have done this for so long, and this feels normal or good, a lot of times they do not realize that energetically they are almost out of their bodies.
​
It is understandable that the message of Oneness is absolutely essential here on Earth. Oneness is not just remembering we are all one. It is not just limited to “I am you, you are me,” but also remembering we are connected in practical ways. What I am doing is impacting others. If I pollute the Earth, I am not only affecting myself, but others. It is quite obvious this truth is not only forgotten, but desperately needed as a ballast.

In Expansion, we can walk knowing the foundational truth of Oneness, and be open to experiencing our own unique walk of individuality, finding our own unique brand of connectedness, and using whatever tool is needed based on the context of the situation before us. We can understand Oneness and still come and experience individuality.

“I will not be reduced by . . . .”
​
When we decide to go into healing, seeing ourselves and really looking at our lives, one of the elements that shows up is the feeling of being so vulnerable and exposed. The dysfunctional parts of ourselves feel threatened and ready to protect. This can show up in response to something as small as a suggestion, guidance, basic input, someone else just having a different experience or opinion.

I will not be reduced by someone knowing more about something than I do.
There is always going to be someone who knows more about something. This is  my opportunity to learn to be the student and to be humble. A large aspect of our lives involves growing and changing and one of the most powerful ways in which to do so is by learning. Knowledge is the door to growth and change.​

I will not be reduced by having something I am doing pointed out.
This is an opportunity to see myself in a more full way. This is an opportunity to see a shadow aspect of myself that needs to be dealt with or healed. Or the opportunity to teach someone something about me, why I am doing what I am doing. This does not need to trigger me or bring up my defenses. Constructive criticism and feedback is powerful and needed for a balanced, grounded life.​
