“Happily Ever After” : A Renaissance

I think one of the hardest things about being a sensitive person is that the currency of your kindness is often taken for granted. I think that becomes the turning point for someone who identifies as sweet, subtle, or sensitive, who is trying to rise up and give themselves permission to take up space in the world and be heard.

I think most of us are rewarded for being sensitive in conscious communities because we’re been afraid to be big in the first place. The fear of ridicule, criticism, shame, not wanting to be seen as bad because we criticize those who we deem as “bad.”

I’ve had an interesting couple of months where my own kindness has been taken for granted. Sometimes I think, as a sensitive person, my instinct is, “Let me do more and more and more and more until they’re satisfied.” But what I’ve learned — and what people have forewarned me about in the past — is that when people are used to your accessibility, they take for granted your light. The gifts you offer become something they unconsciously rely on, because that becomes the unspoken agreement. A subconscious contract in which anything “additive” or less than “extra” or “more” means I am taking something away from them — meaning I am greedy or ungrateful.

This is why a lot of men in politics today believe their rights are being taken away: because men have had an advantage throughout history and have relied on that. So when things become equal, that does involve men having to give up a little more of the pie for women to have an equal slice of life. And that is how we balance the scale of equality. Equality does look like sacrifice and loss to many who have benefited from inequality.

So I am a reformed people-pleaser — on my way out, at least. People used to say I wouldn’t grow or expand or scale my business or my career if I remained so accessible online. They said people wouldn’t respect me; people would take advantage of my services that are staggeringly more affordable than other highly successful professionals on the market.

I was told that not being directly involved with my audience would make them respect me more and legitimize my services. Some people even told me they didn’t want to book with me at first because, when they saw how affordable my prices were, they thought I must be fake. Those are some of my most loyal clients — and now friends — of over 10 years.

That being said, I certainly do understand the importance of boundaries in business. And I share that because I know this is a group full of kind, sensitive, people-pleasers who have certainly been taken for granted. But never let anyone steal that purity away from you. That doesn’t mean light is only soft. Light is fierce, grounded, discerning, confident, formidable, clear, sovereign, and resolute. Light comes in many forms. We do have to acknowledge the corners of our personalities we restrict out of fear — fear of being seen in the image and echo of people who were mean to us in the past, who put us down and made us dim our light, and influenced us to only recognize softness as authentic, when we are often so much more than that.

I share all of this because last night I had something quite profound happen. It is amazing to me how easy it is to forget these little loopholes of spiritual life — that are really not loopholes at all. We’re just inundated with information and experiences in life that complicate our perception of how simple spiritual living actually is. This process, that process, this program, this many thousands of dollar transformation technique… when truthfully, the most enlightened moments of my life have been accompanied by realizing how simple it really is.

I was staring at this Shiva statue I got from Varanasi about three years ago. Every time I look at the statues of deities or images of Gods or Angels, the image animates. As in, if there is a lamp next to the statue, the lamp looks more or less like a lamp with static energy. The statue is still, yet simultaneously, in my vision there is energy and color around it. It is moving. And when I focus on it, sometimes the face/body will move.

I actually have a cold right now. I haven’t had a cold in maybe six years, so I was feeling under the weather yesterday. I looked over and saw the statue — it’s only about three or four inches tall — but I saw the movement. And I had one of those days where I was like, Yes, I see this… but does it actually matter? I can see that this statue is animated, it is moving, it is alive… but what is the point? Does it even matter? How can this actually help me in life? Can it actually help at all? What is the purpose of this?

And I was reminded — as I am always reminded when I am channeling — that it’s not about talking to the statue. It’s about tuning into the energy.

So I did a little experiment where I just focused on the statue. Law of Attraction indicates what you focus on grows. And what I realized was that the more I tuned into the statue and its energy, the more I started being influenced by the thoughts it was influencing me to think.

My head started to feel clearer, my cough actually went away for as long as I focused on this, and suddenly everything started to make sense. I was not trying to do anything. I wasn’t trying to speak to Shiva. I was just seeing that Shiva represents Source consciousness. So instead of tuning into the myriad of influences around the statue — the lamp, the lotion bottle, the dresser — I tuned into the influence of this animated Shiva statue and allowed that energy to guide and direct my thoughts, instincts, and actions.

I realized something very simple: if I literally just keep influences like this Shiva around me every day, I will be influenced more by the eternal consciousness of that energy. An idol, a photo, a trinket, a necklace, anything.

As a result, I woke up today clear of head-cold symptoms. My cough was gone, my runny nose was gone. And the only time I experience any symptoms is when I forget to tune into the influence of that energy.

It’s not strong. It’s not intense. It’s like being in a room full of noise, but there’s one quiet room in the corner that, when you open it, is just peace. It’s like a party happening outside and then one room of total quiet. Figuratively, I just go into that room in my higher consciousness and it is literally everything I need. It puts everything into perspective, and I trust and know I will always be okay — and even better than okay, I will thrive, I will prosper, I will expand, and I will be happy. I will trust that love is always there.

I can’t help but walk around today feeling like I found the Holy Grail. And for it to be so simple… I am just so grateful. So grateful to understand this principle. So grateful to have committed to this spiritual life, to always have this tool, to always know I will be okay because of it.

So my practice is truly just tuning more into the statue. It’s not just the statue. I also have these Archangel cards. I notice the same thing with them. Also my crystal collection. It’s really the dimension of that Source consciousness that floods my own orbit of consciousness with the ultimate knowingness.

I forget things I knew as a little boy. Before I knew all of these terms and spiritual semantics to understand the metaphysical world, all I knew was: I can speak to the statues. All I knew was that there was an illuminated sacred torch in my soul that reminded me of what is real — the only thing that is real. It reminded me that when I could not relate to other people — when I could not understand why they were not interested or curious about spirituality — in my mind it was like, “So magic is real and you just don’t care?? 🤔”

And as I got older, of course, I started to have other influences around me, other than that sacred influence, and I developed energetic momentum from less pure influences. And when that happens, we often lose our way because we are following the wrong signs and the wrong directions.

So I’ve learned that truly all I need to do is focus on the statue. Focus on Source. And Source will inform and guide or even correct my more primitive, fearful thinking that sometimes makes me feel like life is unfair or woe is me. It is really hard to think those thoughts when I am in the presence of the influence of Source consciousness — because it is a frequency. And when you are tuned into a higher Source, the source of your thoughts comes from that higher Source. And when you are tuned into the influences around you — those lower energetic spaces — that becomes the source of your thoughts, extracting your inspiration from places fear or vengeance or retaliation in your ego.

So today I do feel like I solved a riddle — or remembered it. And that really is what awakening and evolution is all about: remembering or uncovering what we have known all along, deep down.

I actually feel giddy today. Because what more exciting thing is there in life than having a question and instantly having an answer? That’s what it feels like to commit to Source energy. It feels free, it feels like ease, it feels soothing, it feels anchoring, it feels rooted, it feels like possibility — it feels like a breath of crisp light. It’s like I feel more space opening up in my chest with clean air. I remember this feeling… and it reminds me of renaissances in my life. Particularly right now I recall some pure moments at both ages 14 and 22 — “new beginnings.” The feeling at 14 when I felt like I was finally growing up and turning into someone I liked more than who I was. Or again, a few years later, when I was graduating high school and realized I was going to have autonomy for the first time in my life.

Perhaps there’s another renaissance on the horizon. I certainly feel that possibility today and I want to lean into it more and more. It’s not the most exciting thing right now. But our job is to avoid the — at times more plentiful — influence of lower energies and consciousness, behaviors, practices, patterns, etc., around us, in order to commit to the influence of that pure Source energy. Most of us are programmed to commit to the vibrational influences around us — our family’s conditioning, society’s conditioning, our peers, coworkers, bosses. Our jobs are not necessarily influenced by as pure an energy as these representations of pure consciousness and pure light.

That is our job: what are you more committed to? The light or the dark?

Because yes, there will be instincts that come over you saying “You will be punished for disregarding the influence of people who have relied on and benefited from your compliance” — even if your intention is pure and rooted in committing to the light and being better not only for yourself but for others. This is your test. If you pass it, that PURE LIGHT becomes your “happily ever after.”

But just know: when you tune into that higher frequency — instead of the influence of lower consciousness from others — the light of that consciousness will reframe your perception of those individuals who are condemning you (intentionally or unintentionally). So it truly is the ultimate solution. There is nothing that this consciousness cannot solve. You just have to find its entryway. So what is your entryway?

Anytime I’m struggling, I honestly give you permission to remind me to tune into that statue. At times I must be reminded to witness the animation and be sucked into that world — that possibility of light and eternity.

The statue, a Mary Magdalene portrait, an Ascended Masters oracle card, a Buddha statue, a crystal collection — no matter what it is, there is an orbit of light from a higher dimension that you can enter just by focusing on it long enough. That is a meditation in and of itself.

So I invite you to recall the times in your life when you’ve had a similar experience. Maybe it’s not as visual as my depiction, but maybe it’s something you can feel — like something is alive. When you go into a sacred temple and can just feel the presence of the highest around you — that is the energy. That is the gateway. You just have to commit to that influence more than all the other influences around that temple.

Lastly, I want to thank each and every one of you — soul to soul — for your kindness, your understanding, your patience, your heart, for being seen from your soul. Thank you for keeping this such a pure space here — a getaway from the noise. It’s easier to tune into the light when we are in spaces like this that encourage the influence and conversation about things that are restricted in other areas of our lives.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. And may we all commit to our happily ever after. ~

With Love,
