FINDING YOUR TRUTH

The World As Metaphor

In general, the outer world around us is often representative of the inner mind-state that we hold for dealing with all external stimuli. In other words, how we perceive the environment we encounter daily is often indicative of the perceptual filters that we have already established to ‘make sense’ of that world unfolding before us.

Since as humans we naturally tend to ‘see what we want to see’, how the external world appears to us is similarly a mix of what we are already looking for and how that perceived reality is recognized/accepted within us; i.e., is everything unfamiliar that we encounter a possible threat to us or is it an opportunity to explore something new and exciting? Example: Do you like NEW experiences even if there is risk involved or do you prefer old, comfortable routines? Sometimes you have a choice in the matter and sometimes those choices are made for you without your consent depending on your situation.

Another pertinent example: Chaos agents enjoy upturning everyone’s world by pulling the rug out from under them. It’s their standard intimidation and manipulation tactic. When you are reeling from their blind-side punch, they can push you in the direction they want you to go and then have their way with you. That’s how they make their fortunes in the world—by taking advantage of weaker or less resistant people. Evidently there are a lot of those particular people out there right now or these manipulation/intimidation tactics would not be successful and there would be far greater and more vocal resistance to them.

But times of extreme chaos are also wake-up calls to action for us; like the alarm clock that shocks you out of a lengthy sleep. It’s time to wake up and get going to do whatever it is that you wanted to do with this fine day. So get up and get at it! And if there is something that needs to be done (or changed) in your world, it is time for YOU to NOW start doing it. No more sitting around waiting for the world to shift for the better. Your world changes for the better when YOU make it do so.

Another consideration here, how do YOU personally respond to chaos? Chaos is and will be your world for the immediate, if not distant, future. So do YOU meet ‘chaos’ head-on and sort out what works best for you and what does not, or do you hide your head in the sand and pretend all the upheavals aren’t affecting you until you simply cannot ignore them?

My suggestion: You must determine first what are your essential concerns, and what are peripheral concerns? You should first stabilize the ground around you and consolidate your efforts to protect your base of operation. I’m not saying it is “bunker time,” but I am saying be prepared to defend your way of life and those you love. And there are many ways to do that. Not all of them require armament; some might be more financial preparations; to have more cash on hand if necessary—refocus your spending and build a buffer zone for expenses.

Stockpile canned food and paper products. Think of the ‘COVID shutdown’ of 2020 as a model for weathering what might be ahead in our future with shortages of goods and essential products. Don’t go nuts, but think and plan ahead. Thanks to the ‘COVID years’ you’ve got experience now in how bad chaos and supply chain disruption can get.

Yes, there are some folks who will never be adversely affected by the decisions coming from Washington DC now; but are you one of those more affluent individuals? If not, then start protecting yourself. Start planning ahead.

Become vocal. Become resistant. Become protective of your family and yourself. Don’t rely on others who you once elected to represent your best interest, to actually do so. Make them respond to your demands for protecting your interests above their own. Be visible. Be loud. Don’t let them hide away. This chaotic insanity will only change when YOU make it change. Stop letting them get by with this constant turmoil and preference for the wealthy few.

Right now your voice matters to the world around you. SO USE IT! The world changes when YOU do.

BE the Calm

This is how I wish I felt, as depicted in the image (by 7th Dimension Energy) above: centered, calm, fully self-sustained in my own luminous energy bubble—connected to the ALL.

How I actually feel may not match that image; but I can still try to relax into it and let that BE my mind-state. It’s an exercise in letting go and lifting your frequency higher. Try it.

This is a turbulent time everywhere in the world so by taking a moment or two each day to stare longingly into the bliss state above and refocus my mind back to where I want it to be, is important now for not just me—but for ALL of us.

If I can settle into total peace for a few moments a day; then others can as well. Holding peaceful thoughts as a peaceful being, enhancing your core light center and fully embracing BEING that Light; that’s what is most needed now. Then just allow that calm luminosity to radiate out into the world around you. BE the CALM. BE the LIGHT for the world.

Isn’t that what you came here to do?

Sharing Phyllis Douglass

Part of what I like to offer in this blog is sharing resources that I find and personally appreciate. Of the many energy workers I’ve discovered by watching John Burgos’ Beyond the Ordinary show, Phyllis Douglass is one I hope to never miss her sessions. I had a head/neck blockage for two weeks prior to listening to this particular session from April 11th, and the energy blockage cleared away the first time through her singing transmission.

Phyllis’ singing voice is ethereal and penetrating; and I really like her unassuming manner of handling the subject matter. Maybe she isn’t for everyone—that’s up to you—but I’d at least like to make her available to those who would appreciate what she offers in these sessions.

In truth my three energy worker favs are: Alicia Power, Lee Harris, and Phyllis Douglass. I’ve listed the other two in the past in this blog, so it is time to offer Phyllis here as well.

Become the Light

Controlling the Chaos Engine

Lee Harris is an Intuitive Empath energy-worker who channels a group of guides he calls the “Zs”. Every month he offers an ‘Energy Update’ for that month, which I follow.

While I, along with many others, enjoy his more positive and uplifting reports of ‘good times on the way,’ the more clinical and pragmatic reports are also highly beneficial in terms of giving us greater context to what we might be currently experiencing. I would call this April report closer to the latter. But he mentions many energy-related themes that I’ve also been picking up on and writing about in my own blog, so I think he’s worth a listen.

Excerpt taken from Lee Harris’ “ENERGY UPDATE APRIL 2025”

https://www.leeharrisenergy.com/april-2025-energy-update

”…Theme number five: The Chaos Engine of the Multidimensional World, …Well, the chaos of our human world is evident. Most people are in shock, horror, recoil; some are in excitement about everything that they’re seeing going on. And we are in this period of our history, which has long been prophesied. This is the moment where everything starts to unravel in order to go to another level. The question is, how quickly can we get to the next level? How much damage happens along the way? And how much do we have to get squeezed before we, the people, start to ask for, demand, and speak up about what we want and need? That’s going to be a huge theme in the next year or so—people revolution. Even those of you who feel you are only passively watching the world are being internally pulled forward by all the changes that you are seeing around you—the chaos engine of the world.

“The chaos of a world in flux is its own engine right now and is generating a lot of change from the stomach outward. Digestive or stomach issues might be more common this month too, because stomach issues are the solar plexus chakra, which is about will, power, and identity. Issues for you in your life around will, power, and identity, or maybe willpower, which I think for many has been an important thing to find as we’ve all been shaken and stirred by everything that’s going on.

“Reclaiming your own willpower, your own sense of will for what you are here to do and where you want to go in life can be more challenging at times of high chaos. But the reason this message came through is the chaos engine of the multidimensional world. The world is multi-dimensional and it’s multi-layered, and we’re all having very different experiences of the world right now.

“We are literally in very different dimensions. Some of us are in different timelines to others. That’s part of what’s happening on the planet. But what unifies us all is we can see the story of the world. We might be interpreting the story differently, but we can see the things that are happening. And that chaos engine is not just like watching a car crash, it actually generates energy in our body. Sometimes we go into horror, fear, shock, but at a certain point, that chaos engine moves through your system and brings you back out into the world.

“Many of you will feel compelled to make changes because of the chaos of the world. Even as you might be moaning about what’s going on or displeased about what’s going on in the world, in tandem with that, you are being changed and generated as a result. You are very in relationship to the chaos engine, and that energy is driving so many of us forward. But be aware of the stomach and the solar plexus chakra, which, again is about will, power, and identity. So, you might be experiencing themes around any of those areas. …”

Backing Off A Bully

Those of us who were on the smaller side as kids were well acquainted with school bullies who found great joy by terrorizing us at every opportunity and who often felt immune to retribution for shoving us into lockers and block walls, just because they could.

Childhood stature mattered back then. Weaker unprotected kids were always easier prey to those who towered over us and threatened us with physical harm. We didn’t have to do or say anything to instigate the contact. We were just there within easy reach and away from protective adults at the time.

Now in grade-school being a natural cry-baby myself to the verbal and physical battering, I whined to mom and dad about it. How unfair it was, how besieged I felt. Mom was all angry and spouted, “I’ll go down to the school right now and tell them this has to stop.”

Dad was all, “No, this stops when SHE makes it stop; and this is what you are going to do about it.” He said pointing at me.

So dad being dad, he took me out to the garage and said, “You have to learn to defend yourself. You have to learn how to fight back and MAKE THEM stop bullying you. That’s the only way they will leave you alone. You have to MAKE THEM STOP.”

I assume now that he had learned this first hand from his own childhood because he was only 5’9” as an adult and was fairly slim built.

He stood me, all of three-and-a-half foot tall at that age, a couple feet from him and said, “Make fists, like you are going to fight.” I did as best I could. He pulled my thumbs down around my fingers to make a better fist and squeezed them tighter like little clubs. Then he maneuvered me around a bit, straightened my stance, pulled my left fist out toward him and pushed my right fist back toward my right shoulder, and said, “Spread your feet apart for better balance. There. That’s it. That’s how you get ready to fight.”

Still whimpering, I looked at him and said, “But I don’t want to fight. I want them to just leave me alone. Why can’t they do that?”

He snorted and bent over me saying directly into my face, “Because they are bullies. That’s what bullies do. They pick on little people—they pick on people they can push around—but you aren’t going to let them push you around anymore, …are you?”

I looked into his weathered face and chocolate-brown eyes that seemed so certain of what he was saying and said, “I guess not.”

“No, you’re not.” He said more to himself than to me. Then he poked a dirty-looking, mechanic’s finger in my face and said with conviction, “No one is pushing you around anymore. It stops NOW!”

I sniffled and nodded. He then ‘schooled me’ in throwing gut-punches and countering blows to my face coming at me. Once he was satisfied that I could at least hold my fists correctly and swing a punch with some force, he said with finality, “There. You’re good now. No one’s going to push you around again!”

Yes, with me at ten-years-old, dad became my boxing coach that day. And he was right. After I developed a mean, right gut-punch, the bullies I had previously known did in fact back off from me completely. But it took me fighting back to make it happen.

So, parable-of-the-day being: In today’s political sparing ring for those of us under siege at present I suggest learning to throw a good, solid gut-punch to back off the main bully currently trying to steal your lunch money (or your social security). In my experience it seems to be the only deterrent that bullies do recognize.

The Portal

Time and place are fleeting things—so ephemeral and illusive. One instant here, then gone; the next the same. And still we expect them to remain as we wish them to be—available to us always and forever.

But they aren’t.

I mentioned to a friend that her new home felt very much like it was located near a time portal to a distant past—the FEEL of the nearest town was dusty and rugged like a western town in the 1800’s with horses and buggies, and women in long coarse skirts and men in rain-sagged Stetsons crossing the dirt streets. The town had this ancient vibe. To me it always had.

A few years back we would attend horse auctions there once a month, and it was the perfect place for them. I half expected to see cattle-drivers riding into town, pushing a few head towards the town’s cattle pens awaiting a train to haul them further.

While it never actually happened in my reality; the town had that FEEL that it once had and likely would again.

There are places like that in the world. You can inadvertently step into the portal between two dimensions and suddenly become disoriented by the shift in the energy vibe. It can be discombobulating to you at the least and personal-crisis creating at the worst. Energy sensitive folks may not know what is affecting them, but they may recognize that they are being pulsed between two dimensions of existence, and it’s not a pleasant feel.

I think that’s what is happening to us at present. A portal is opening to a new dimension (hopefully higher) and we are mid-step into it. Chaos is the catalyst to massive change; and chaos creators use widespread chaos as opportunities to destabilize social institutions and civil safeguards. It is easier that way to influence the changes that they want to create when everyone is trying to determine which way is up and which is down.

Think of it like when you are in an earthquake—when the ground is shaking and buildings are being tossed around like Lego towers cascading to the ground, you just want it to stop. You want solidity and stability beneath your feet again. But in our current climate, almost two months into this wild, world-wide energy turbulence, the ground beneath us is nowhere near stabilizing yet, so it’s important for you to stay on your toes and prepare for some lengthy ground-shifting in the year ahead.

Just keep this is mind: You know WHO you are. You know what you WANT and DON’T want. Don’t give in to a sense of stability just for the sake of feeling more grounded during the turbulence. Stay awake and alert to those ‘chaos opportunists’ using the manufactured crisis to shift away your liberties and freedoms.

Decide NOW what you want your future to be—decide how you want to FEEL tomorrow and the next day. And if you willingly step through that new dimension portal, be sure it is the dimension that YOU wanted to be in—not the one chosen for you by chaos opportunists.

Signatures of Endurance

“Trees leave signatures of endurance on the grounds, the story of making deep roots in the wild winds.”

Jayita Bhattacharjee — Inspiration Showers

Those of us who actually reach retirement age also have ‘signatures of endurance’ with every line on our faces or crepey wrinkles in our now looser skin. Our youthful freckles overnight became spreading age spots; and muscles that were once so toned and dependable, have now slackened to rubbery lumps if left unused.

Stamina, once so prized in our 20’s and 30’s and even in our 40’s or 50’s, is more fleeting now requiring frequent rest periods between bouts of strenuous physical tasks. (Stumbling to the bathroom is not considered one of those, but getting up from the recliner might be for some.)

However like that tree image above, those roots we’ve established holding us to the earth have long ago grown strong and deep. The gale-force winds haven’t taken us down yet because we eventually learned how to weather a storm—maybe bending but never breaking.

That’s what most of us are doing right now—weathering the latest onslaught of wind and bluster knowing it can’t last forever, so we are primed for an eventual calm spell to put out new leaves and soak up the returning sunshine.

And to that dancing clown onstage who has never used a chainsaw in his life, if you come near my trunk with it, the kickback might cost you a leg.

The Driving Forces of Our Lives

Been thinking a lot about many things lately—some I have control over and some I don’t. What I do know is that ‘change’ is a game shifter for everyone because change makes you recalibrate all aspects of your life—it makes you step back and reassess your previous life direction and your current game plan for achieving future happiness.

And likewise challenges in life are the catalysts to our behavior changes. We have all known life’s challenges—those ‘driving forces’ in our lives from childhood onward that often affected our overall LIFE perspectives, including how we learned to adapt to or even to survive our family environments if they were less than nurturing and ideal.

These driving forces of life often involved having our most basic needs met: like food, shelter, protection from harm, and feeling love and a sense of belonging somewhere to someone or something. Our deeper needs drove us forward day by day toward some distant unknown we naively thought of as our future life; and as children we looked to adults around us as the examples of what we had to do and how to we had act to receive our most basic necessities.

The problem with those adult behavior examples was that they only showed us two things: 1) how to act to get what you wanted in life and 2) how NOT to act if we as children were the ones being adversely acted upon. Harm-causing examples showed us HOW NOT TO BE by how much pain they personally cost us. But both the GOOD and the BAD adult behavior examples taught us deeper personal lessons than most of us are even aware.

Those joyful or painful childhood memories taught us that we had to be adept at reading ‘people situations’ before we had to react to them. Self-confident individuals often handled people-challenges better than those who were continually belittled or psychologically abused as children because personally challenged, battered kids quickly learned to find some place to hide until the nearest threat lessened. Understandably they also learned how to avoid conflict and human contact in general because they had become masters in furniture-camouflage and wall-blending. It was just safer that way—to remain unseen in the house.

The strange thing is that even those BAD examples of what it means to be a human being were not only teaching us harsh lessons about the world around us; but more importantly, they were also teaching us important lessons about ourselves as loving, caring individuals who needed more mutual support and community involvement just to survive childhood.

But then again, we are not kids any longer. We don’t need to hide in closets or under the bed now. We know bad behavior examples when we see and hear them because they are all around us now everywhere. And the only thing they are really showing us is how important it is to NOT be like those bad examples.

So look for more positive inspiration in your life to help you be better than the bad examples you are seeing everywhere in the world now. Be better than them. Be better than those caustic human behaviors creating chaos and heartache wherever they roam. Elevate your life out of this continual, political muck and mire and find ways to be a strong, good example of a loving person for the younger ones in your life. Be someone they can model as the ideal person who cares about others and tries to make this a better world for everyone—not just for themselves. You can do this. No more wall-blending or closet sitting. Be bold and bright and impossible to miss as you make this a better world for everyone that you encounter from this day forward. *** BE YOU. *** BE AWESOMELY UNFORGETABLE.

Elevation

Weird dream early this morning where I walked into a classroom trying to approach someone for some reason—maybe the teacher—and she turned and asked me a question like “Why are you here?” and I said “Elevation!”

College-age students around the room began to chime in on what elevation meant to each of them, and it got heady/spiritual fast with each new description offered. And I felt physically buoyed with each one—like “YES! This is true interaction. THIS is the catalyst for awakening within each heart and mind—a single word, ELEVATION, and how it relates to each person’s life.”

In the dream as the structured classroom began to organically morph with student excitement and active discussion, the teacher gave me an angry look and I walked out with my index finger pointing skyward mouthing the word: Elevation.

Then I woke up feeling floaty and excited, and thought that had to be more than a dream.

I’m mentioning it here as a possible GOOD SIGN for all of us, even though things don’t seem so positive at present. Who knows, maybe the word ‘ELEVATION’ also means something inspiring to someone out there in the world who may run across this post. If so, elaborate on it for all of us just like the class did back to me. Maybe that spark of recognition is the turning point for love and light to return to us.

Maybe it really is all about ‘elevation,’ and how you can elevate yourself beyond your more restrictive earthly boundaries. Interesting thought.

You Can’t Make This Stuff Up

I was lying in bed two nights ago—ready to shut off the TV for the night when the NEWS flashed on the screen and my “preferred mutee” mumbled that the United States will be taking over the Gaza strip, bulldozing all the war-torn mess flat and reconstructing the NEW, and I quote: “Riviera of the Middle East,” with businesses and condos, and all sorts of people from all over the Middle East will be coming to live and to work there. “What a beautiful thing it will be,” says he.

I laughed out loud—just couldn’t help it. (So much for going to sleep now.)

And this is not a good situation to laugh about. There are 2 million people displaced from living there who are now returning to the crumbled mess that was once their homes. What about them? Where are YOU, oh orange one in your infinite wisdom, going to “send them?” Not that if fazes him, but this intended takeover statement was wrong on SO many different levels, not to mention illegal by most global standards, that it just boggles the mind. Or, … maybe it’s just Tuesday in our NEW world order. And so what?

It dawned on me then that this was yet another “drink bleach” moment for him. Remember that? In 2020 as Covid was slowly spreading across the United States and the world, and ‘guess who’ was in charge at the time, his response to what people should do to combat the virus prior to immunizations existing then was to stare at this health advisor on stage with him and say this, “Well maybe they could drink bleach to kill it.” Yeah. That’s what they should do—drink bleach. A few gullible souls were hospitalized from heeding his televised health advice. This news conference Tuesday was pretty similar in effect.

From Biden’s proposed “TWO-STATE solution” between Palestine and Israel, it became instead the “United States’ 51^st or 52^nd state solution”—depending on how our neighbors to the frozen north view their ranking in American state additions. Of course there is also Greenland and Panama to consider as our ‘new state’ rankings are proposed. Can’t forget about them. Gonna need a bigger flag.

Personally I believe that RFK’s ear must had gotten too close to ‘someone’ else’s ear who says these strange things, and the brain worm must have wriggled into the large vacant area beneath the blondish-white, transplanted hair follicles and started thrashing around; and wa-la, the “Riviera of the Middle East” resulted. Wow.

Let’s see. What is today? Thursday? Yeah. It’s anyone’s guess for Thursday.

Flexing Your Inner Strength

I’ve noticed that some of my closer friends are being more adversely affected by news of the daily antics in DC.; expressing lots of stress and worry now about the upheaval in government structures and personnel firings, etc.. To which I can only say that much of this fallout was inevitable once the die was cast on election day. I personally am only doing what was suggested to me—I am waiting and watching. No big emotion—no big reaction to anything done now, because sometimes NOT reacting is the very best thing you CAN do in situations beyond your control. My advice for most of us with no retaliatory political power: ‘Wait and watch’ and see how it actually shakes out. Hold your own energy frequency as high as possible for you. (I’ve previously listed here techniques to help in that regard.)

Sometimes deescalating a situation is the far better approach to peacefully resolving a conflict than is in-your-face resistance to it. Sometimes the ‘conflict creator’ wants you to adversely react or to OVER react to what is being threatened.

Sometimes it takes far more inner strength to NOT go nose to nose with a conflict instigator. Take it from a combative personality whose first instinct is to clench my fists and step forward toward the blustering bully trying to block my path. When your actions become too predictable, they’ve got you right where they want you. Better to step back, assess what is really happening, and then plan your way forward from there.

Will this whole situation get worse? … Oh heavens yes. No question there. ☺️

Can you endure it until it reaches a natural resolution through courts or future elections? Hopefully you can, but it will require your digging deep within you to hold your cool and then assess and plan your next step forward.

Peaceful resistance is the best option: unified marches, letters to representatives, active coalition building with similar thinking people all make positive statements of peaceful discontent with policies leveled on the masses; and use less of this passive-aggressive BS on social media. That just makes you a target for retaliation. This is not an US versus THEM situation no matter how much the chief chaos agent wants his followers to believe that it is.

This is about US—ALL of us. And right now is a bit too early to start moving to his proposed 51^st state in the frozen north. We’ll get through this. Just strengthen your inner resolve to do so and stay smart. Life will always be a challenge of some sort. This is just the latest one. You can handle this.

This could actually be an ‘evolution’ challenge in disguise for lawmakers and the courts to see who can ‘grow a backbone’ during the next four years. Wouldn’t that be something? Hopefully the Departments of Science and Health are still standing by then to document it.
