Creating Space for the New

By Thea Westra - ForwardSteps.com.au


The scarcity (Scare City) conversation going on in your head causes you to hang onto those old clothes in the wardrobe or the three outdated cameras that collect dust in the cupboard. Perhaps you do not yet see that connection however, trust me, they are directly linked.

It is now time to make a little more room to allow for all those wonderful things that you desire.

Get a bigger bookshelf if you want new books, or purge some of those old titles that no longer fit with your new abundance mindset. Weed that garden, you know that every time you drive the car into the drive it drops your energy to see those weeds taking over. Pay your bills on time, every time, and each time you do this, give thanks that you can live a lifestyle that incurs such expenses. Empty those rubbish bins around the house regularly and…yes…have a bin in every room then empty them regularly. Go ahead, unclutter your world…it's wonderful for the Feng Shui (a scientific discipline based on the analysis of energy)!

How can anything great come into your physical, spiritual or mind space when you keep filling the spaces with all those unnecessary extras? Including, worry, drama, procrastination, physical clutter and negative conversation.

Where else can you make some room for the "good things" about which you dream? Take a look around, make a list and work your way through it. Set a timer each day for ten minutes if it helps. Pick a sock drawer or a cupboard shelf to "attack" in those ten minutes. Make that phone call or write that email that you've been putting off. Really feel that feeling of having it done and look forward to that reward.

I have two very handy tools at my website that give you plenty of areas on which to go to work to raise the energy that you transmit.

One of these is the CleanSweep and the other is a list of Tolerations. Download these for free from ForwardSteps.com.au and get into action. (Hint: they are under the heading 'Coaching Tools')

When you even get three-quarters of the way through one of those lists, you'll be ready to create again. You'll be like a drainpipe that has just been unblocked. Things will start flowing toward you and through you once more. That dark little rain cloud that used to follow you overhead each day will magically disappear. Goodness, you might even notice all those opportunities for advancement that have been whizzing by you each day!

That little extra bounce in your step and that lovely clear, clean feeling of everything being right in your world cannot help but attract people and the energy of the universe's power toward you and you'll be ready to give again. You may even have a little breakthrough in self-worth and we all know its immense value in manifestation of success and abundance!

Reincarnation

“Are you experienced”
- Jimmy Hendrix 

Reincarnation: believe it or not! Well, rather than pander to
the doubt inherent in the "not" part, I will assert that a soul
has incarnated onto the Earth in you. You are the incarnation
of your soul. As it is the soul, rather than the ego, that
enlivens the body with spirit, you should not expect that you
will reincarnate. Too often, our Earthly ego would have us
believe that somehow, Brenda-May Bashful will miraculously
reappear at some other place in another body. It just does not work that way. The poor ego gets one lifetime and no more. The soul, however, gets many life times __ hundreds, even thousands. The soul is incarnate on Earth (Roger Joyeux in my case) for the purpose of evolving a third dimensional consciousness. Soul sticks its toes into the waters of the Earth to experience the hot and cold of physical life.

Take inventory for a moment. Have you ever experienced depression, joy, fatigue, elation, deceit, beauty, hesitation, pleasure, and so on and on? Each experience that you, in human form, go through is imprinted upon your Earthly consciousness. Each drama in life that you participate in, each sensation that carries energy, offers a variation in conscious experience. As all of your experiences in
the incarnate form are conducted on the physical plane, the record of the consciousness provides the
soul with the understanding it needs to fulfill its evolution on Earth.

Consider that when you dip your toes into the lake of life, you are only experiencing the temperature of the water at the edge of a very small part of the shore. The soul, in its purported vastness, is just as hesitant about jumping in as you might be. Earth is like the Hudson River in October. Not only is it rather mucky, it is very cold. The third dimension is a very low-level, slow, and dense vibration in relation to the enlightened universe where the soul resides. For the soul to jump in would be like going polar swimming on New Year's Eve. Some souls who would do anything!

For the rest of us, just getting our knees wet can be enough. To go so far as to get its ‘knees’ wet, the
soul incarnates. It checks the water in one incarnation, then incarnates again to check how deep the water is. Each incarnation is conducted for the purpose of accumulating experience on the physical plane. Each experience adds to the sum total of a soul's third dimensional consciousness. When enough Earthly consciousness has been acquired, the soul graduates from this plane. That is, all the lessons have been learned, all the experiences have been accomplished, and all the consciousness, needed to master the third dimension, returns to the soul. The soul’s contract for Earth comes to its conclusion and it ascends from the bonds of Earth. Liberation! 

There is only so much that a single human incarnation can experience in any one lifetime, and nowhere near enough to give the soul all the physical consciousness it needs. It takes at least several lifetimes as a serious dancer to become a prima ballerina. And, it takes several lifetimes
as a soldier to lead a victorious army. Each role requires the completion of numerous lessons and the accumulation of a measure of consciousness. To complete the full round of Earthly experience takes hundreds and thousands of lifetimes.

So how does this apply to your own spiritual journey? When you come to the realization that you are here on Earth as an extension of your soul and have been given the responsibility of a free will, you might also realize that using the free will to honour and serve the evolution of the soul is the essence of your existence. You are not the ego who would shrink in disappointment with its own insignificance, but a droplet of pure consciousness manifest on Earth. As you conduct your life, if you can wilfully surrender yourself to the wishes and directions of your soul, the spiritual journey unfolds before you. When you align your Earthly intent with the intent of the soul, all of the conscious experiences needed by the soul can be acquired easily. The spiritual path then accelerates
significantly, as the soul creates the events that give you physical consciousness. When you are fully in tune and compliant with the energy flow of your own soul, the heavens open for your knowingness. 

By the time you become fully in tune and compliant, you already know. The way to align with the soul is to repeat the mantra: "It is my will to align with my higher self in
truth." When you infuse the energy of your soul into your daily life, prepare yourself for change. As my guides said to me, "Get a captain's chair and a four-point harness, then strap in tight and brace for the ride."

The Story of Light:, Path to EnlightenmentExcerpt from Chapter 1, section 9

Innovating Physical Duality

The problem of etheric magnetic field concentration was a serious impediment to Earth’s enlightenment process. What to do? As necessity is the mother of invention, the angelic caretakers sought innovations that bypassed the etherics and facilitated the flow of light to the Earth. The physical plane’s version of duality was one such innovation.

Earth’s third-dimensional path was illuminated by the contrast provided by duality. Within the realm of duality, vibration was simplified into the two states of the black and white, the good and bad. It separated the yin, the female aspect, from the yang, the male aspect. By presenting vibration in one of the two polarities, and then generating its mirror image in the other opposing polarity, duality provides contrast. Through the contrast of opposites, the limits of physical reality became visible.

Whenever reference is made to the negative and positive aspects that make up duality, a third aspect found in the original state of any vibration has been left out. In the original state in the heavens, vibration involves a triad consisting of yin-yang-soul. The negative yin energy and the positive yang energy exist in union with the soul. Separation is absent. The soul, however, has been unable to enter the third dimension to anchor fully because it was neither acceptable to, nor compatible with physical vibration. Its subtle beingness was too high to withstand the rough density and turmoil of third-dimensional existence. Therefore, the soul aspect has been withheld from Earth. Duality, then, involves the polar opposites of yin-yang, negative-positive without the presence of the soul.

Duality’s contribution to Earth’s enlightenment occurs when duality is surpassed by the reunion of the yin and yang. By combining the yin and the yang, the resulting construct is the original vibration or light frequency. Importantly, the reconstructed frequency acquired compatibility within the third dimension.

In preparation for entry into the third dimension, vibrations of many varieties were split into their polar opposites. When a light frequency is split into the separate aspects of yin and yang, it loses its integrity. Neither the yin nor the yang aspect constitutes a complete light frequency in the true sense. The etheric magnetic field can detect, attract, and repel whole frequencies consisting of both polarities, yet is ineffective when dealing with its parts. This meant that the individual yin and yang aspect was able to slip through the etherics unimpeded.

Each of the aspects of a particular light frequency, that had split to come to Earth, continuously creates an attraction for the other aspect. Yin attracts yang; yang attracts yin. Once on Earth, their inherent polarity initiates their reunification process. Eventually, yin combines with yang. Reunification takes place yielding a balanced light frequency that is whole, available, and useable on the third dimension.

To illustrate the process, picture the aircraft owner who folds up his aeroplane’s wings, packs it into a crate, and then transports it to a distant place. Once at the destination, the aircraft is reassembled making it ready to fly. In a similar and humble way, the frequencies of divine light were transported onto the Earth through separation into polar opposites. Separation allowed light frequencies to make the journey into physical vibration without being stopped by the protective etheric shield. Once on Earth, the separate aspects of yin and yang reunited through polar attraction to become as divine as they were before descending into third-level vibration.

Although the model of reunification is simple enough to understand, several problems hindered progress. Visualize a cardboard box full of different varieties of yin and yang particles floating and bouncing off the walls and each other. Also picture some particles entering and leaving the box in differing quantities and qualities. The problem: the yin and yang aspects were not always able to come together harmoniously.

But why?

First, although opposing polarities attract each other, they are often incompatible. The yin aspect of one light frequency may readily attract the yang aspect of another frequency, yet union can only occur when both are of the same frequency.

Second, union was frustrated whenever individual aspects became overwhelmed by the random jumble of disharmonious, dissimilar frequencies. An environment of turbulence, created by numerous incompatible and polarized aspects all moving in different directions, is not conducive to reunification.

Third, polar opposites move towards each other at varying rates and intensities and seldom come together in a balanced manner. Rather than merging harmoniously, they collide.

Fourth, both the yin and yang aspects can be of the same light frequency, yet one aspect may be more abundant than the other, thereby creating an imbalance. The excessive polar energy of the abundant aspect will be overwhelming to the less abundant aspect.

Fifth, because union occurs within manifest-form, the form is subjected to tensions caused by excess polar energy. If the integrity of the manifest-form’s physical construct cannot withstand the tensions in polarity, it will disintegrate, and the energies accumulated therein will quickly dissipate. That is, within the context of the suggested visualisation, the cardboard box itself can fall apart spilling its contents.

Incompatibility, disharmony, collision, imbalances, and the loss of form-integrity are a few of the problems that have slowed the process of reunification.

Turbulence and disharmony work against union; calm and serenity make it possible. Within a space of serenity, two polarized aspects of a light frequency are able to find the harmony needed to merge gently into a complete and viable light frequency. The propensity, to unite two polar opposites of the same frequency, has always depended upon their continuous attraction for each other. When there is an absence of turbulence, disharmony, and imbalance, attraction leads to union. Because of this principle and despite the difficulties, polar opposites did unite and whole manifest light frequencies were the result.

As an innovation for the purpose of bringing light onto the physical plane, the separation of the yin and yang polarities-–duality-- worked. Light, unable to bypass the etheric magnetic field, slipped through in a different and undetectable form.

The Importance of Breath

Getting out of the hospital after an operation to remove
kidney stones was like a breath of fresh air. Yes, there
was pain. Yes, there was karma clearing; and mostly,
yes, I was glad to put it behind me. Beyond all of that,
what actually happened was an extremely valuable
lesson that I learned about the breath of fresh air that I so
cherished.

My new book, The Story of Light, Through Heaven’s
Gate, has a very interesting discussion about the light
holding capacity of the molecules of the air, and of
oxygen in particular. I have taught people to be aware of
the contribution of the breath to raising their vibration on
numerous occasions. I have, on these occasions,
emphasized the value of consciously working with the
nostrils, nasopharynx, bronchial tubes, and alveoli. Each
piece of the respiratory tract contributes to the
oxygenation of the body. To quote my book, “As
oxygen readily assimilates light to become divine
Oneness, it indeed carries the primary life force on the
planet. Pranayama (yogic breathing) is essentially the b
ringing of oxygen’s Oneness into the body.”

The great lesson that I learned during my hospital visit
was just how significant and how immediate the
respiratory tract is to the oxygenation of the body.
There I was in the post-op area, about 15 minutes after
recovering consciousness following the general
anaesthetic that I was under. I was quite awake and
conscious and definitely breathing. My breath was
sometimes deep and full, and sometimes short and
shallow. I was hooked up to the monitors that show
heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, and most
interestingly oxygen saturation.

The post-op duty nurse answered my question that they
like to see at least 92% oxygen saturation. Here is what
happened to impress me about the awesome power of
the breath, actually two breaths to be exact. At one
point, my breath was shallow enough that the monitor
read 89% saturation. I then thought I had better start
breathing better. My next two breaths, only two, were
moderately long and deep. In those two breaths, my
oxygen saturation went to 94%. In five breaths, it rose
to 97%, and by the twelfth breath, I was at 99%.

This was scientific proof of just how important even a
single breath can be to the well being of the body, and
especially to the exposure to the divine light frequencies
carried by the oxygen molecule. As much as I was awed
by this clear demonstration of the value of the breath, the
nurse casually confirmed this phenomenon as something
she sees all the time. I am sure that that would be true
for any post-op nurse.

As for me, I am still in awe enough to both write this
article and make a more conscious effort to make longer,
deeper breaths a habit.
