HS: “The vibrational level symbol is very useful because it shows you how you choose desire and how desire leads to effects. Choosing desire is not totally conscious. That is, you can think you are choosing one desire when you are choosing another, and the symbol of vibrational levels helps you see which desire you are actually choosing now.”
The “vibrational level symbol” is referring to tuning into feelings as a useful way to see which desire we are truly choosing. Obviously feelings of fear, guilt, and unworthiness carry a heavier vibration than feelings of peace or happiness. We are being taught to tune into our feelings as a way to see which desire we are actually choosing.
HS: “Let’s use the example of wanting guidance from Me. At the level of consciousness, you may think you are choosing the desire to awaken by choosing to want My guidance. However, if you have judged that something is wrong, and out of fear or lack you are wanting guidance as a correction, you are actually choosing to see yourself as alone. And since this choice is your desire, the perception of aloneness shall be the effect. In other words, you will not know guidance.”
Let’s say you are praying for guidance to solve a perceived problem of financial lack. You may receive guidance that you think is coming from Spirit, but because you are in the vibrational level of fear and lack as in perceiving something as wrong, the guidance you receive is really coming from fear.
A few years ago I was feeling lack in regard to business due to so many changes in the insurance industry. At the time I felt strongly guided to start doing counseling on a more formal level. Even though I counsel people every day in my chiropractic practice, it wasn’t panning out to do it on a formal level. For a couple years after that I wondered why I had received the guidance to do it when it obviously was not something I was being called to do in the way I had received guidance about it.
When I came across this message on desire I realized that this is exactly what I had done – I had asked for guidance out of fear and lack, and so the guidance I received seemed to be the solution to a problem from Spirit, when it was really guidance coming from the false desire to know thyself as lacking, limited and alone.
I have a large office with a couple of rooms that I don’t use that much, and ironically, as I have focused increasingly on the desire to trust the universe and let the chips fall where they may in regard to my life, in the last year and a half, and out-of-the-blue, two different health care professional have come to rent space in my office.
Now, this was true guidance that came from trusting the universe versus the guidance that didn’t pan out because it came from the vibration of fear and lack. Also I had previously not been interested in renting out rooms because I don’t like having other people in my space. The two people who have rented from me are people that I liked and trusted almost immediately. And now…I am also being asked to do counseling on a more formal level!
Spirit Within has been reminding me of a sentence in the Inner Ramana teachings regarding resisting the “easy life of following.” In those teachings we are taught that the mantra practice is a useful tool to change our vibrational level from the egoic radio station to the Holy Spirit/True Self station, and so HS has said to me: “Sheryl, life is easy when you follow me, and life is frustrating when you trust in yourself and listen to fear, guilt and lack.”
HS: “When you choose the perception of separation as a way of seeing now, you choose to desire that perception.
Let me say that again.
“When you choose the perception of separation as a way of seeing now, you choose to desire that perception.
“Do you see how this works?
“This is why it is important to be aware of your current feeling and to consciously out of willingness choose your perception now.”
See, if you are currently aware that you are worried and afraid, this is your current vibrational level and through willingness, you can choose again now. The mantra practice helps me to choose again now, but for many years I would pray a simple prayer:
Holy Spirit,
Help me see this through your vision of love,
than through my eyes of fear and judgment.
HS: “Choosing to trust the mystery of God is an easy and useful perception, because it is choosing to perceive that you are not alone…you are fully connected with the Allness that is Love and it is choosing to trust it without needing to understand it. When you need to understand it, you listen to doubt that it may not be so.”
When we “trust the mystery of God” we live in the “easy life of following” and things change in ways that we could not have predicted and caused on our own. The feelings that we hold onto and live from stem from the belief that:
“Maybe I am alone. Maybe I cannot trust the mystery – maybe it isn’t true! If I take my hands off the wheel, everything will fall apart.” The truth of course is that, when I let go, all things come together.
HS: “All things are given you because you have asked it to be so.”
We resist this message just like we resist the teaching in A Course in Miracles that says, “You are doing this to yourself.” The great news is that we are learning just how we do it to ourselves. It is becoming increasing clear to me, just how I ask. Such teachings along with the teachings in NTI James that I wrote about in the previous blog have changed my life.
Ah…Now I see how and why I have chosen these experiences again and again, because in this area, I am still giving energy to the desire of know thyself as lacking, limited and alone.
To be honest with you, in some areas, I am having similar experiences but at least now I know why. Through mind watching I see the thoughts that feed the feelings and false desire.** Now I know that I can experience healing through my willingness to practice trusting the mystery of God through keeping my focus on my true desire:
Know thy Self
HS: “I have said that seeing with Me is a moment-to-moment decision. Maybe you see more clearly now how this decision is made. It is made through your true choice in desire. It is made through what you choose to believe. It is made through the thoughts you choose to listen to and through the feelings you decide to live from. And any time you choose to change a habit in order to begin making a new choice, you are expressing a new desire and you shall experience a different effect.”
Yes, it is the thoughts I choose to listen to, and the feelings I decide to hold to and the beliefs I choose to believe that create my life experiences. Most of us have areas in our lives where we experience frustration, worry, fear… Vigilance in practice is required because in those areas we have been thinking certain thoughts and believing false beliefs for so long that we don’t really notice them. We cannot change without vigilant practice and willingness to change our habitual thought patterns.
HS: “The ego is quite literally the result of fear and judgment, and so whenever you listen to the ego (the thinking mind or the little self), you are choosing the perception of fear and judgment. This is the perception that you are alone and separate, and that perception shall be given you.
“Choosing to trust without knowing how or why…choosing to trust without needing understanding this is the highest level of trust in the world. You are asking to see the perfection of love in all things when you choose this level of trust. And if you hold to this level of trust, this is all you shall see.”
HS: “If you worry, and you worry about your worrying because you’ve learned that worrying keeps you at a low vibrational level, choose to allow your worrying. By allowing your worrying, you choose to trust that you are perfect as you are now. This is a desire to see yourself differently, and this desire shall lead you to a new way to see.”
When teaching this message, Regina said something I love. It was something like: Choose the highest level that you can honestly choose in the moment. Meaning that for some, the fear may be so great that they simply cannot choose to trust the mystery. I have certainly experienced what HS says in this paragraph about worrying about your worrying as in, I may get caught up in thoughts of lack, and then feel like I’m only going to create more lack because I am caught up in lack! Ever been there?
Allow your worrying. To me this means to practice acceptance.*** If right now you are feeling a lot of fear, or your mind is spinning on some story that you are listening to, sometimes trust is not what you can honestly choose in the moment, and so it is much more helpful to allow and accept what you are feeling in the moment. And talking about vibrational levels of feeling, we can feel the difference.
“Oh My God! Oh My God! I can’t believe this is happening! What am I going to do?!” How does this feel?
Or
“Ah… yes. I see these thoughts in my mind. I accept them. I allow myself to be exactly as I am right now. Holy Spirit I give this to You. I know that You will correct my mind very gently and return me to the remembrance that I am Love.
Feel the difference between fear and simply allowing? Acceptance is a higher vibrational level. This is how we recognize which desire we are choosing.
HS: The symbol of vibrational level is helpful, because it allows you to see that choosing low vibrational energies pulls you down, while choosing high vibrational energies pulls you up to a higher way of seeing. Know that behind all of this exists only the cause and effect of desire, but it is the cause and effect of the desire you are actually choosing as opposed to the one you think you are choosing. In that way, awareness of desire is important to will for. Will for knowing the desire you are choosing by being a student of feeling. Feel the vibrational level of your desire more than you listen to the story in your head. When you feel fear or other feelings that may be the effects or off-spring of fear, be willing to raise your vibrational level by choosing another perception.
Choose the perception of trust. Trust the mystery without needing understanding.
Choose the perception of love. Choose to know thy Self without needing to know what thy Self may be.
Choose the perception that is not fear. Choose the perception that is knowledge of not alone.
In choosing this, you desire to see differently, and this we may call raising your vibrational level to the level at which you hear and know Me.”
