The tides are changing, as are the seasons. We too are feeling a certain eeriness and discontentment. A realization is emerging for many that, most of what they thought to be true in life may have been a lie. People are wondering what happened to their dreams. Is it truly necessary to live an existence of no joy and happiness? Struggling to survive with little hope of having time and inner peace to look forward to? As always, great change brings new awareness and perception of what reality is. Too often, we accept the ravages of humankind as our reality. Too often, the few decide for the many, what is right, and what is wrong. Be not deceived any more by what you see and read. Know always, that what you instinctively know to be true is just as right as anyone else is. Being dissatisfied with a system of life that no longer works is okay, you are not alone. Changing yourself and your perception is imminently needed to hold a balance not just in your life but also in the lives of those you love most. These daily mantras will help. I am that I am. I am that I am. I am that I am. I am a child of love and light. I am earth, I am air, I am fire, and I am water. I am the central force of life from which all things come. I am love. I am loved. I am that I am. I am that I am. I am that I am. Remember that the only constant in the universe is change, be not afraid to change. Honor yourself and the earth during this transition. Make an offering to her daily and bless the nature she protects.

I write about the chakras in my book “Getting to the Heart.”  Your chakra system and auric field are your life giving energy force, without them you would die. Just as you detox your body so must you detox your energy field. There are several exercises in my self-help section to assist you. I am always willing to assist those that are willing to assist themselves. This I can do by allowing your divine guidance to speak with you directly using me as the channel. Allowing yourself to receive the help that you need is honoring who you are. Do not put yourself and your wants and desires on the back burner. More than ever we have entered a time of the greatest healing known to earth and her inhabitants. Don’t miss it by procrastinating. Love Thyself! 

I see many individuals making very positive changes in their lives and themselves. It is not an easy time for any of them. The pain of addressing the old conditioning one carries is often heart wrenching as well as tedious.

When attempting to change your perception, beliefs, and mind sets, you are challenging yourself on all levels of self. Realize that we all feel drained sometimes. Take the time needed to look after yourself, honor your body. Your body is always the last part of you to receive the healing energies needed for the complete transformation into the physical. When you were born your DNA recorded all of your past karma and experiences into itself. As you transmute, your DNA changes its recording.

Is it time, to reprogram the old outdated personas you have chosen to lead you before? Is it time to dig deeper into the heart of your own self and see what mysteries lie hidden? Is it time to find yourself and rekindle the joy of life that you know you are? Each and every one of these is a worthwhile venture and can help make your dreams come true. It may even help you to create new and better dreams than before.

As the shifts continue to unfold bringing intense energies, we open to the spirit within to receive insight and guidance. At night in bed, we ask for the strength and wisdom to arise to all the challenges each of us currently face. Like the ocean, the universe, and its energy is based on ebb and flow.  Sometimes we feel the waves rise to heights that frighten us, and other times there is a soft lapping that relaxes us. Always though we are aware of the vastness and hidden secrets that lie within. Our life’s journey of exploration is like that of pebble dropped into the sea of life. Each ripple is part of the whole and each is different from one another, yet alike. This too is the universal ebb and flow of life’s cycles. Each of us being a universe unto ourselves the ripples we make can and does change the tide of the whole. By opening and connecting to the energy of the divine self we become co-creators of the universe within and without. Change is the only constant there is. Why not accept and use change to open the universal awareness for all that are ready to expand and extend. This you do by simply realizing and accepting that you are that self-same universal and divine energy. Be of light and love.

Affirmations:  I am the Light Within. I am that I am, I am that I am, I am that I am. I am all things to all people at all times. I am the god within. I am the light of all life. I am love. I am love. I am love. I am that I am, I am that I am, I am that I am.

Opening to spirit is an awesome experience. As we travel our pathway called life, we are besieged with problems and hardships. With spirit as our partner we find inner strength and hope for the future. Never allow yourself to believe you are alone. Never succumb to the energy that all is lost. Know always, that the illusion called life in the third dimension is orchestrated and may always seed a new conductor. Life has many dimensions and petals yet to unfold. As we sleep and wake so does the new life awaken among our friends and enemies. Be ever vigilant of truth and light. Surround yourself daily in the raiment of universal love that is at your disposal. Know that change is the key and only good can prevail. Trust that a perfect order does exist and you are a part of that order always.

We now enter into a new life experience filled with newness and depth. Learning and growth should be your key phrases and affirmations used regularly. If we are not continually growing, changing and learning, then we stagnate. Even though some lessons in life are not pleasant still we need them to accelerate our process and goals. Simply because we cannot always see how our life is a winning version of time, does not mean we should not live it to the fullest.  If I could not learn I would die. Be it inside or out, I would just stop trying. People who attain enlightenment, success and fulfillment, make bold choices in life and deal with the results. These individuals know that change is the key to their future. Back to square one is a common misconception that leads us to think we are not accomplishing our ends. Ultimately all things are born from square one, all ideas, all creativity, all desire to live and advance, all life. We are not lost because we return to the start, only re-visiting it to bear a new fruit. The only resolution a person needs make in their life is to become the person that they admire most in life, themselves. Always becoming is key. Never settling for unhappiness as the truth of who you are, and always striving for the next freeing realization you can attain.

May you all be the success story you know you are!

Humans are easily sublimated by their surroundings. Television ads, educational learning, family and religion are parts of our sublimation. When we hear or are taught something over and over again we begin to accept it as part of our reality. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, famine, homelessness, politics and Jesus, all are part of our consciousness because we have seen and heard about them constantly. Had we not seen and heard about them, they would not exist in our consciousness, nor would they be part of our reality.

The many things we have not seen nor heard about, play little if any role in our daily awareness. Because this is true, it is up to us to educate and sublimate ourselves with thoughts and ideas that promote happiness, joy and peace.

To believe that there is an unseen force of energy that pervades all life is to believe in Spirit. It matters not what name you give to spirit, what matters is that you understand that you are spirit.

In order to identify how all life contains spirit, you must first study about soul. All things of life in this world contain soul. As long as we refer to the soul as being unconscious then that sublimation will remain intact. The fact that all life contains soul, should make it obvious enough, that the only thing that is unconscious of soul is the seeker. If the mysteries of the Universe and the Divine are actually natural soul awareness, then it is only natural to seek them out for your own revelation.

Your soul is actively participating in your life everyday. The more you learn to hear and see it, the more help it can offer you in understanding your individual purpose in being alive. It is time for human beings to re-sublimate themselves and turn to the soul for its memories and awareness of the truth and light within. With soul, light, and spirit all things are possible. Without them, more of the same will perpetuate itself. Call to your soul daily and let it know that you acknowledge it. Discover the world of soul that you are.

You are a beautiful energy of light. Your emanations make up the whole, just as the whole makes up the emanations that you are!

THE LIGHT YOU REFLECT

www.AtheneRaefiel.com

The emanation of another light and then another and so on ad-infinitum. These emanations make up all life upon our planet, including our solar system, cosmos and divine heavens. the Seven Rays is the same as the Seven Heavens created by the mind of God. From each ray, emanates

The Seven Rays that each of you emanate, comes from your individual chakra system. A chakra is a spinning vortex of light, which extends out to connect with another chakras’ vortex of light and another, to create the aura. If each person could travel in a spacecraft outside the earth’s atmosphere they would see the aura that planet earth emits. Looking up from planet earth, we can see the aura of the universe that surrounds us and we call it the sky. All these things we see are mixtures of light and color that give us variable perceptions of sound and vibration, as well as light and color.

These energies make up all that we see and sense around us. Looking at a bright sun or full moon, we often feel vibrations as we experience the visual intensity. Sometimes we describe these things as instilling a mood. In silence we both hear and see sound. Silence in and of itself is sound. Listening to the silence is how you discover what you are not hearing, while still hearing the sound of silence all at once.

What we see and hear often evokes feelings. When we see something that we find beautiful and pleasing, it may evoke a feeling of peace and pleasure within us. When we hear a child cry, it generally evokes feelings of kindness and caring. Sometimes after these feelings are evoked we the receive images of what a crying baby looks like. This sound has now evoked a vision as well as a feeling. Almost all people unconsciously experience these things I am describing, throughout life. Most have never even considered that by watching how this operation works in their lives, that they could consciously use it to change self and the world around them.

If one were to see oneself as a complex set of operations that can be utilized and fine-tuned to master life and destiny, what type of feelings and pictures would this evoke? Studying ourselves as the complex and unique instruments that we are can be very enlightening. Watching how and why we do things can give us a powerful perspective on who and what we are. Actions and reactions can be changed, along with thought processes and development. Viewpoints can be expanded and a small world turned into a big one. Asking ourselves why we feel, see and hear the way we do starts us thinking in new terms.

Although we advance along our spiritual path of learning and evolution, the same techniques are always applicable for whoever and wherever we are on our spiritual path. We are all ever-expanding, ever-evolving energies that may chose to grow or stagnate at any time. As we open up and expand, we discover that spirit awareness and awakening are perceived realities that bring about conceptual awareness and understanding. This becomes a foundation upon which we build and develop our spirit journey. The tools we use are the same senses and techniques I have just described, only as we advance we begin to see, hear and feel, within many different levels of oneself. Our heightened awareness allows us to begin communing with otherworldly beings and entities. We realize that we can commune with Archetypes such as Angels, Ascended Masters, Spirit Guides and our own Higher or Spirit Self. We now learn to cleanse and clear soul debris and karma that holds us back. We begin to heal and integrate all aspects of self and discover that the past can be let go of.  By understanding how our senses operate and skillfully re-training ourselves, we use and develop them inwardly as well as outwardly. All this is accomplished by observing and knowing oneself.

What is the sensation of color about? Why do different shades of color evoke different feelings? When I close my eyes can I make myself see colors? Why do I think and believe I can or cannot do certain things? What do I hear in the silence? What does pure silence sound like? What does it feel like to be happy? Can I sit with my eyes closed and evoke these feelings if I want to? Asking yourself these kinds of questions, and then practicing seeing, hearing, and feeling, is how we continually use and develop our extrasensory perception.

When we were children we worked on developing all of our senses. In our innocence we tried to communicate in any manner we could. We were unable to make or understand words so we communicated through our feelings. Most parents are perfectly happy to communicate with their young through loving tenderness and kindness. This love evoked feelings of security and safety within us.  For most individuals there were many times in their growing up childhood’s where these feelings were shattered and temporarily destroyed. Even as adults we find ourselves faced with these exact types of experiences. When this happens we feel betrayed by our own feelings. We feel stupid and pull ourselves inward so that others cannot see the pain that we feel, nor can they do anything to hurt us again. Often in the inward place we find solace and solitude but also isolation. For most of us we have been experiencing ourselves and hurt in this manner since childhood. Generally we have been made to feel that this is just the way life is and you have to learn to deal with it. We have been left to our devices to figure out how to do that and with little or no guidance to go by. It is not our parents’ fault that they too were brought up and taught in this manner. They are simply passing on what they consider to be the realities of life to you. Well now that you are an adult and can search to find the core of the being that you are, you can start to pay attention to how you feel about and react to such situations in your life. If you don’t like feeling the way you do about yourself and the life you are living, then you can change it by observing, paying attention and work at making it happen.

My Spirit Guides, Archangels and other Teachers of Light, that assist me daily, commune with one another and me at all times. At first I was afraid and a bit ashamed to have them present in my life. I didn’t want them to know how hurt, angry and lonely I was. That was a long time ago and after many years of looking at my conditioning, we have worked through my misconceptions of self and have become unified. With Spirit and I, we always feel the loving presence of one another. I am never alone and neither is anyone else. In ones misconceptions, they simply believe and accept themselves to be so.

Aloneness is a good thing. It is a place within ourselves that we have created to re-connect with these wonderful friends and family, our spiritual soul mates for eons of time. Growing up we were taught that things such as spirits and angels do not exist and are imaginary. We were taught to use the left hemisphere of our brain and to eliminate the subconscious as a place of unrelated dream worlds. We were taught to think of and see things this way because that is how our parents were taught, their parents, and so on. Also due to the fact that so many people have isolated their feelings believing them to be a hindrance that creates vulnerability, they wanted to make you tough in order to survive the outside world. So humans have perpetuated this way of life as reality for many centuries now.

There have always been a number of people that were born as very sensitive and intuitive beings. Who, even through such challenging lives as I have described, managed to still find themselves and their sensitivity later in life and restore it. More people than ever are doing it all the time. It’s like they hear a calling inside that drives them to go beyond what they have been taught was reality and the norm. Often they are seen or labeled as rebellious or out of control. Most people who decide to listen to their own inner-self have a period where they have to block out the rest of the world temporarily, to do it. This in a way labels them as non-conformists by those that love them. For sensitive’s, conforming to a world and life with no sensitivity is utter insanity. They cannot feed themselves without sensitivity nor can they feel alive. For them, the awareness that kindness and compassion are major components of healthy living, drives them to explore their own nature and to heal themselves. They generally then take on the challenge of helping others to do the same.

We all know that money holds too much power over survival on this planet. Without money you cannot eat, dress, keep warm or have shelter. Making and having money takes up so much time and energy in ones life that they are too tired to even think or hope for anything else at the end of the day or the week. From the time we are young we are taught to live this way in order to survive. This training is a necessary part of survival but it cannot bring us security. Security can only be felt and experienced. Security is within not without. When we learn that we are not alone in our lives and our soul self, we then learn that we are soul, spirit and energy rather than form and mortal. At this juncture of life’s journey, our understanding of security changes, as does our life and purpose for living. Too many judgments are made by using the left brain and reason alone. These judgments cause a world filled with turmoil, anxiety, stress and insanity. If logic and reason were truly the keys to success and freedom in life, then why haven’t they worked? It is easy to pooh, pooh, the idea or existence of otherworldly beings. It is easy to deny that you are the only true power in your life. It is hard to take responsibility and seek to know that which others have denied as being truth for centuries, simply because you were taught that such things are nonsense by adults in this life. All one needs to do to decide to explore and journey other elements of themselves is to look at the lives of those around them. If what one sees is truly what one wants then they too will deny any truth beyond what they can see, touch, taste or feel with their outer senses. But for those who seek security, peace, love, happiness, joy or bliss, they will begin searching and exploring texts and teachings that are far removed from such a constrictive way of life and thinking.

The journey of life is far beyond the five outer senses; the journey of life for each of us began long before we were born this lifetime. The five outer senses are tools that we use to define what we learn and apply with our extrasensory perception. To see the world as the sounds and colors smells and taste that it truly is, is amazing. To become aware of how you and all other life are connected is awesome, and to see a Spirit Guide, or and Angel for the first time is remembering what it feels like to be at home with your true family.

Color and sound are key elements in our spiritual development. The silence and the sounds therein hold magical insights. Understanding that we have the ability to change how we feel about our life and ourselves is major self-healing. Letting go of what we thought we knew to be so, and discovering what we intuit to be true, is how we begin forming a new foundation.

You are Seven Rays of light that emanate from your Seven Chakra Centers that assist you in remembering the seven levels of consciousness you travel and exist, as well as live within. You were first born of spirit, then soul and lastly body. You contain the mind of God, Goddess, all that is, and are the mind of God, Goddess all that is. You were and always will be an emanating energy in the Universe that assists and connects with all other energies of like vibration. If you do not like the energy of the vibration you have become it can be changed. The rational mind and survival do not determine who you are, you do.
