Makes Sense

No one listens even if they understand or agree. No one wants to be looked upon as the one who thinks or believes differently or outside of societal norms. 

It's a bit sad. But, it's only human to not want to be ridiculed. 

Leave your fears of ridicule aside. Forget your perceived views of 'self'. Follow your heart and those small voices that scream at you. 

Being in a flesh and bone body is temporary. Being yourself, as you're meant to be is Divine. What other humans think when they hear your words or see your actions will either not make a difference or will change a life. 

The choice is yours.

The empath found his groove.

Hello Friends... My apologies to you who may be looking for my writings on a more frequent basis.

I've been away. Not traveling or working.. although I have been working... but I've been away from my writing due to a personal disassociation with my connection to the Divine.

Although I have never been separated from the Divine, and, I have aways had the ability to call upon the Divine, I have allowed my human 'self' to block that connection.

I have regressed, if you will. I began having doubts, fears, worries and questions about my own ability to connect to the Higher Knowledge. I wasn't aware of what had caused me to feel this way. 

I couldn't journey. I felt inadequate and felt that I wouldn't be met by the very ones who lead me on my day-to-day journies.

I can't express to you hoe lost and alone this feeling can be. Especially after you've experienced so much and have been given so much information. It's almost as if everything I'd been told and shown was a distant memory, not worthy of remembrance.

Then, I realized when this separation took place. I had received a rather unorthodox Reiki treatment. Although the practitioner had her own intentions in place while sharing energy, her weaknesses and doubts were absorbed by me during the session. 

Now, let me explain... I'm a tremendous empath. I can walk past others and take on their feelings, hurts, problems, fears, etc. It's a bit of a pain in the ass and I'm working on controlling it. I recently even took on physical pain when removing it from another... Sounds crazy, even to me... but it happened.

However, when a trusted Reiki practitioner works on me, I expect nothing but pure healing to occur. So, I learned an important lesson. Reiki practitioners are like doctors... they are only as good as their training and then, their intention. A great Reiki Master will know how to prepare themselves, their surroundings and any crystals in order to be a vessel for the Divine energy that courses through them for the betterment of the recipient. 

A practitioner who has thoughts of doubt, worry, outside influences... a practitioner who doesn't set 'self' and 'ego' aside before working on another, is more of a detriment than a help.

This is what put me out of tune. I had to work very hard to regain the positive energy where negative energy had encroached upon my thinking and normal habits that connections to the Divine.

Be wary of who you choose to perform any type of energy therapy. Be very wary of anyone who you choose to use their proclaimed metaphysical or psychic capabilities.

We are intuitive beings. Use your intuition. That's what we, as lightworkers, rely upon.

I apologize for any that I've offended, misled or swayed from the truth. It wasn't who I am. However, any questioning that we do is a valid way of finding the truth.

Namaste.

The Dangers of Self

I've been in a funk. I've been in a funk for a couple of weeks and I couldn't figure out why I've been so funky... until recently.

I'm normally very connected to my place and my role, despite how much I may disagree with what it is. I have developed trust in what I'm shown and told during my shamanic journeys. It took a while for me to admit that I'd been shown and told things by beings in the upper and lower realms. I wasn't comfortable in sharing that I'd discussed things with an animal or an angel.

However, I overcame that fear of sharing, on most accounts, and have realized that what I'd been told and shown was dead-on accurate. I say this because some of the things I've been made privvy to has either happened or has been revealed in other ways to those I know.

So, back to the funk...

A  few weeks ago, I met another Reiki practitioner. We agreed to perform Reiki for each other. So far, so good. I performed Reiki first... I also use Shamanic practices, although the receiver doesn't notice. It is a part of my intuitive process... The receiver later informed me that she left my session feeling wonderful, invigorated, free of pain and stress. I performed my services for just over an hour. I always leave a session in sweat, as the energy flows through me...

Later that week, I arrived at the location of the Reiki Master that I had helped. I was very interested in receiving a powerful energetic infusion.

It was an interesting experience. I didn't judge... the intention of the giver was there. Intention to help and heal is paramount. Yet, the combination of smudging, then the sudden clanging of Tibetan bells behind my head and later the painful massage of my left shoulder was all a bit out of my expectations. In addition, the commercials that came on the Pandora Radio feed were rather disconcerting. Ok, they were funny.

Here is what I didn't expect... I seem to have taken on negativity during my session. Now, I always protect myself against negative attacks. Yet, somewhere along the way, I missed a beat. I'm an empath, I take upon myself the negativity inherent in others whether directed to me or not.
So, somewhere during this session, I took upon the fears and confusion that my Reiki giver was experiencing.

I learned something very important after a week of wondering what the hell happened to me...

There are many lightworkers and Reiki practitioners out there. Yet, in order to properly administer lightwork healing, the intention must be pure. There must be no sense of 'self' present in the giver... Anything negative can be transferred to the receiver, without the giver ever being aware. A single thought, if negative, is capable of being given to others/

Everything is energy. Thoughts, intentions, actions... and if you focus on those thoughts and intentions then you can unknowingly harm the very ones you want to help.

As for those wanting to help using lightwork, I salute you. However, remember that every thought counts. Set your 'self' aside and use yourself as an empty vessel to transmit the energy.

Namaste.

Many thoughts, One Message.

I'm only human.

I have human emotions. Fear, doubt. insecurity. My greatest weakness is judgement. Not judgement upon others, although driving in Northern Virginia tests my will in that area.... but, judgement against myself.

I've never had great self-esteem. When I was a young boy, I was overweight. My nickname was 'Hefty.' However, I was strong... and, if I ever caught someone who called me by that name.. well, let's just say I lowered my boom.

I was not a popular kid in school. Not at any age. I was shy, goofy and not the kid the girls looked at.

Although I had my first real 'date' in 3rd grade, it was due to my sense of humor, not my looks or sense of self-esteem. Even now, I see myself as just, 'Jeff', that guy who occasionally makes someone laugh or, hopefully, think.

It's a very difficult thing to accept that one is more than what he or she perceives himself to be.

Some say it's called being humble. Others consider it a form of masked conceit. I just consider it a form of being human.... no different than anyone else.

This week, I used my hands and intention combined with energy from the universe to literally cure an infection. I took upon myself the sickness and pain that the other was suffering.... Yet, I healed someone. Literally. I luckily knew how to cleanse myself of what I'd taken on.

I knew that energy healing is real. But, I'd never experienced this type of healing.

I don't tell you this to boast. Hell, we are all capable of doing what I did. But, it was my ability to set my ego aside... my doubts and human feelings... that allowed me to tap into the divine and nature in order to bring healing.

That said, my latest journey into the lower realm, tonight, brought revelations that I'm not sure I'm capable of completely embracing but am nonetheless expected to fulfill. The key, I'm told, is to trust in myself and continue to set ego aside. Putting trust in what you can't see or touch is difficult. But when you listen and feel what you can't touch has a powerful impact.

I have my path to follow. Each of us have our paths to follow. Unless we listen and not disregard the seemingly coincidental occurrences (there are no coincidences, by the way) we miss opportunities to become more aware and more connected to the Lightness of Being... the divine....

Religion isn't the answer. Religion is a ways to a means.

My journeys have shown me disturbing and encouraging things that are both happening now and are soon to happen. I'm no sage. I'm just me, Jeff. But, I'll relay a single quote from someone I know fairly well from the Upper Realm... "You're in a Hailstorm"....

Ask me...

Wake up. Turn off the TV and phone and listen. You will be surprised by what you experience is you haven't been already surprised.

Namaste. Peace.

Get ready, a hailstorm is coming.

Frogs, Snakes, Lizards and Ethereal Beings of Divine Light: Wake Up, Damnit!

Frogs, Snakes, Lizards and Ethereal Beings of Divine Light: Wake Up, Damnit!: Well, ok. Boy, oh boy. I'm gonna alienate some people with this post. I want to preclude this writing with the notice to all that I am...

Wake Up, Damnit!

Well, ok. Boy, oh boy. I'm gonna alienate some people with this post.

I want to preclude this writing with the notice to all that I am not, by any means, a politically-inspired person. As a matter of fact, I think politics have become as bastardized and masticized as a cancer that organized religion has become over the years.

If I vote, I vote for the person based upon my carefully inspired intuition of the person, then his or her platform and then the reality of that platform being realized. In other words, I think for myself.

This is the problem that I have right now. Society is basically a collaborative think tank of fucktards without a cerebral cortex. I don't say this because a certain party or canditate won an election. No, I say this because people can't determine shit from shinola (to paraphrase a term from the classic movie, 'The Jerk'.)

What I'm writing about goes deeper than politics and elections. What I'm espousing is the idea that.... no, no... it's not an idea, it's a fact... that people have lost their sense of self. They have surrendered their choices and knowing to those who can sway them via smooth talk and promises.
This isn't applicable to only politics. It holds true in the workplace, in line at the supermarket, in your house of worship (gulp) and even in the home.

People surrender to another's voice if it is loud enough, carries even a hint of weight or signs a paycheck. People seem to have forgotten their own worth and that their voice matters. A person has a thought, it matters. No one can take a belief from another unless the person allows it to be taken.

Everyday, people surrender themselves and their self-worth to another's opinion or belief. Everyday, people follow orders despite their own objections and inner knowing that what they are following is wrong.

Why? Really, why? Who do you answer to? The guy in the suit? The man in the robe? The person who makes a law? No, you answer to yourself. Because only you as an individual knows you, the individual. No one controls you. despite what you read and hear.

I'm both sad and dismayed that so many follow something or someone other than their own inner knowing. Trust me, the ones who control your thoughts and actions, buying and spending, voting and aggressions, know this. Not because they are enlightened, but because they see weakness.

I'll say it without reservation, I get pissed off and ass-chapped when I see people bitching about election results or something else that they disagree with but only post fucky comments on Facebook to elaborate. The same with 'Save the Animals' or 'Save the Children in Africa.'.... Nice sentiments, but woohoo..  eat your Cheetos and pet your cat while you type it...

There is no incination to act on injustices any longer. We, as a society, have decided it is easier to post a remark and hope it resounds other than act and respond without fear of retribution.

Lose a friend. Hell, lose 100 friends... if that is the cost of helping mankind.. or even your own fucked up government, then do it. You arrived in this world alone (unless you have a Siamese twin (conjoined if you're PC)), you'll go out alone. But, what you do between those times makes a difference. Not only for you, but for every life you impact. And, trust me, you have no idea the number of lives you impact... even on a daily basis.

This may seem more like a rant from my other blog, but this is a plea for people to sit down, shut up and listen. Listen to your inner self and what your intuition tells you. Those aren't crazy voices in your head. Turn off the TV. Stop reading the dumbass news stories that only show the negative. You aren't made to hold the negative within you... you are made to hold the light, the positive, and share it.

The idiocy of this world will pass and the dumbasses will fall, but, you don't have to follow. Lead... and lead with passion. This life and your reality belong to you, not a talking head or (gasp) a politician.

Namaste and holy shit.

Yelpin' Again

I'm not surprised that this blog isn't as widely read as my other blog. After all, Yelps From The Closet was a blog, is a blog (it still exists) that allowed me to be myself in a way that most people more easily relate. In the Closet, I ranted, I put forth my frustrations, my anger, my snarkiness, ....and I gained thousands of followers from around the world as a result.

Oddly, I started that blog as a way for me to vent and express myself. I didn't expect to be followed or understood in such a way that my writings in some way helped others. I'm very happy that I have been able to relate to others and bring awareness that no one is alone in their plight.

This blog can come across as some kind of spiritual/religious bullshit that people are usually repelled by... myself included. That isn't my intention. I'm still snarky. I'm still a smartass and I still have a disregard for the working of government, religion and human nature and what I consider human blindness (a nice way to say stupidity) when it comes to the state of society, the health of our planet and the lack of self-awareness that lies within.

Settle down. Although this is a blog detailing my Shamanic journeys and my connection to the Divine. I must say that the Divine and those connected in the other realms aren't halo-wearing, holier-than-thou entities. They relate to us. They also appreciate our human nature and the traits that we each given.

Somewhere along the line of religious misguidings, humans were expected to act a certain way in order to encounter the Divine. Guess who came up with that misguided mindset. Man. Big shocker, most men (general term) don't understand the Divine and mankind's purpose.

So, to try and spread that limited understanding, some dude who didn't understand the workings of the Universe, wrote a big book. I mean, it was a big book. Then, a few guys bent on controlling the masses in order to maintain peace, love and understanding, edited that book, re-wrote a large part of it, and put forth a man-made way of living that, each week, would also add to the coffers of their particular congregation. In today's terms, it equals a family living center complete with basketball court and a picnic area.

I seem to be reverting to my old Yelps From The Closet way of writing. But, know what? It is warranted. Because people need to be slapped upside the head. People don't think for themselves. They don't listen to their hearts and they sure as hell don't give a shit about the guy on the street that is starving. And, if they do care about that guy, they thumb through their pocket, past the nickels and dimes to find a quarter. After giving that quarter, they feel good... they've helped another human being... then, they go to the bagel shop and have a hearty breakfast.

Humanity has become hypocritical in so many ways. Especially when it comes to religion and spirituality. Although every soul is spiritual (yeah, even you, atheist), the sense of self pervades and invades and crowds out the small voice that leads one in the right directions.

Be it television, video games, YouTube, name the poison... (FOX News), ... No one stops to listen to the voice that is the soul, the spirit.

I'm not religious. I'm open to truth. Truth isn't the Bible, or Qu'ran, or any other man-made interpretation of another man's misunderstanding.

What I experience during my Shamanic journeys is profound and often hard for me to interpret. But, there are those who are aware of what is happening today and what is to come. I'm not a prophet. Hell, I'm a nobody. But, I know what's happening because I've been shown. And, I'm not panicking. I'm not evangelizing. I'm just saying, if you somehow 'get it'... don't doubt yourself. Don't be proud that you get it... but spread the word and bring others to that same realization. Because, if you fail to share your knowledge, Karma will remind you a little later. Karma is not a bitch. His name is Zadkiel and he is a pretty serious dude with a job to do in order to maintain balance in this Universe.

I performed a Reiki session on my 17-year-old stepson tonight. He has Aspberger's Syndrome. I wasn't sure what to expect. I'll not go into detail his day to day ordeals. However, he had an aura and energy about him that caused me to have surety that he is not only an Indigo child but is far, far ahead of his schooling and age. Never have I performed a Reiki session in which the protection surrounding someone is so strong. He is a component of our future, despite his perceived weaknesses. In short, he has only perceived weaknesses... not real. He is a powerful, spiritually endowed youth. I'm very proud to claim him as a stepson and I realize that he has much to teach me as we progress through life.

Religious ilk will discard this type thinking... at least the unaware will discard this thinking. But there is much more that we do not understand or even consider than what we claim to believe as truth.

Out tiny planet and the miniscule number of inhabitants on this planet are about to experience unimaginable shifts and changes. I'm not Nostradamus. I'm Jeff. I became aware by simply quieting my mind and reconnecting to nature.

I'll not attempt to suggest what you are to do in your life. Free will is a given. My main man, Archangel Raphael, says, "Free Will... what was the Divine thinking?" But without it, we'd be nothing more than remote control units in the hands of a controlling, predestining being.

There is no being controlling anyone. There is only light.

Be the light for others. Listen, learn, love. Love is nothing more than acceptance. We are all connected. Your acceptance of others ensure your acceptance by others.

Namaste.
