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!

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.
