Doubt Extinguishes Possibility

Our belief systems affect our manifestations, including healings or what are commonly referred to as miracles. According to the information from my spirit teachers, there is no hierarchy of miracles. It is no more difficult to heal cancer than it is to soothe a stubbed toe. The possibility of healing, or the lack thereof, lies in the belief system of the wounded or the healer/practitioner. Healings and miracles deal with energy and the amount of faith or trust contributing to the process.



Faith is built by the strength of one’s belief systems. The more you believe something to be true, the more faith you have in the processes associated with it. The more faith you have in the process, the more energy the process will receive. The more energy received, the more fuel to create the desired outcome. As you manifest more and more in your life, your trust level will escalate. As your trust escalates, it feeds energy to your faith and your belief system and thus increases your ability to heal or to perform miracles. This diagram illustrates this cyclical process.

According to the universal Laws of Attraction you will be adding energy either to your faith or to your doubts. The cycle in the illustration is just as true for negative beliefs. When doubt creeps into your awareness, you lose power. If you add energy to your doubts, they will manifest. You reinforce whatever belief system gets the most energy.

It is also important to remember that hope is not the same as faith. Hope is an indicator of lack of faith. Complete faith is absolute; there are no doubts, no fears, no wishing, and no hoping. If you hope for something to happen, you cancel some of its probability.

Until you know absolute faith, some of the upper level energy movement practices will be unattainable by you. You will still, somewhere in your belief system, create a hierarchy of difficulty in which you believe some things are beyond your abilities. This is why many of the so-called miracles are not accessible to many people; they do not have the faith to support moving energy in that way. Doubt extinguishes possibility.

Some examples of activities attainable by working with energy are shape-shifting, walking on water, fire-walking, and levitating. All are possible. All are done regularly in the cultures that support these activities. Many of you, as you consider the nature of these activities, have just assigned a level of difficulty to each of these feats. This hierarchy of difficulty is established based on your belief system. If you have heard of something happening, then it brings it into the realm of possibility. As I said, these feats actually occur in physical reality. Shape-shifting, for example, is not just an awareness one might have in an altered state of consciousness, but actual transformation into another physical form that is able to maneuver in the physical world we commonly share.

If you know the story of Jesus walking on water, but have heard of no other person performing the feat, then walking on water might remain, in your thinking, a case of “He can, I cannot.” Your need for cumulative evidence will limit your beliefs about your own abilities.

Levitation is the ability to defy gravity. Mystics have been known to do this for centuries. Yogis do it regularly during meditation. Saint Theresa of Avila was said to levitate every time she prayed; she would actually float to the ceiling. Her love for God was greater than any gravitational pull, and she floated upward because of her heart’s desire to merge with her beloved Jesus. There are many historical accounts of levitation, but it remains one of the more difficult beliefs to accept.

Fire-walking also defies physical law as we understand it. Fire burns when brought into contact with human flesh. Yet fire-walking has been done for centuries, and many people have heard of it. The mere fact of hearing about a feat brings it into the realm of possibility. Since more people have heard of acts of fire-walking than of levitation, for example, fire-walking actually has the greater potential for being possible. More people are fueling the thought form of fire-walking as a possible reality; hence, fire-walking is becoming accessible to more people.

I have fire-walked myself numerous times. The first time I walked on fire, the group I was participating with was actually filmed for a news broadcast. During the broadcast, aired a month after our fire-walk, the newsperson not only had clips of us fire-walking, she also decided to get different opinions on how this was possible. She interviewed a fire marshal whose attempted explanation of the phenomenon was almost comical.

Explanations I have personally heard range from the sweat on one’s feet creating a water barrier, to the ash acting like an insulator, to the suggestion that people must soak their feet in ice water before they go across. The plain fact is, you just do not burn. To me, fire-walking felt like walking over popcorn; it crunched, and sometimes poked, but it did not burn. The red embers look like the perfect campfire for roasting marshmallows-the hottest form of campfire, more so than when it is flaming. So how can this be? Fourteen hundred degrees is red, scorching, searing, blistering, and glowing hot-a temperature that should cause permanent damage — according to our physical laws of science. Yet, people walk across red-hot coals and glowing rocks that range in temperature from 1000 to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit and do not get burned. Their feet do not even get warm.

Since that experience, Spirit has taught me much about manmade laws and physical laws. We need them to help us understand our world and to explain why things work the way they do. They provide a tremendous amount of safety to our frail humanness. However, when working with Spirit, we are capable of altering any of our frailties. Spirit is not limited by gravity, fire, the speed of light, time, or locality. All is possible. Belief in such feats is non-rational, requiring that one be able to move beyond rational thought to understand that the universal consciousness dwarfs our rational minds.

Playing both ends to the middle: Scientific laws and Universal laws

People who have spiritual power have learned how to work with energy. Working with energy requires an understanding of both scientific laws and universal laws. Scientific laws change as science progresses. There were once laws that supported the beliefs that the earth was flat, was the center of the universe, and that light only travels in a straight line. These laws held true until science advanced to discover other possibilities, at which time new scientific laws emerged. Scientific proof supports a set of beliefs until a new scientific model redefines reality. Many scientific truths have passed into myth, which only exists from the vantage of hindsight; it was only truth in the context of the time that spawned it.

If history is an accurate predictor of our future, then we must assume that the current scientific truths will eventually become myth as new truths emerge. How confident of our scientific truths can or should we be? The American dramatist Arthur Miller observed, “An era can be said to be at an end when its basic illusions are exhausted.” Our mental models of reality may never be more than “illusions” that we, as a culture, have commonly agreed upon. The models have the feel of truth because they are widely shared. They create our current paradigm.

A paradigm is a constellation of concepts, values, perceptions, and practices shared by a community. That constellation forms the basis for how a community defines and organizes itself. Scientific paradigms, widely accepted by advanced societies, have become the basis of defining reality for our world community. Primitive societies that may not share scientific worldviews are often targets of programs intended to convert them to higher truths. At times, however, we have discovered that the primitive paradigms were, in fact, accurate. A good example is recent medical discoveries that validate the potency of traditional medicines and the role of mind-body-spirit connection in the healing process. Once considered to be of the realm of witch doctors, these are now receiving serious attention from the scientific community.

Our beliefs — even our scientific knowledge — color our observations and perceptions. We look for evidence to corroborate what we know; we find the evidence because that is what we are predisposed to see. Consequently, we continually reinforce as true that which we already know. This is done at a subconscious level, but it is how paradigms govern our lives. Breaking out of these paradigms is difficult, and it takes strong character to go against such compelling and accepted societal norms. History is full of accounts of people being persecuted and, in some instances, killed because they supported new discoveries in science. Hindsight being 20/20, two hundred years later it is easy to say, “How could they have believed something so ridiculous?” What will be said of our beliefs two centuries from now?

In truth, all things are possible and people are limited only by their own imaginations! That is exactly why the spirits are forever asking us to broaden our perspectives.

2012 = Action!

2012 is a year for divine action. It is time to put action to your desires and create a lifestyle that is in alignment to the new truths that have emerged. The year has exponential potential for individuals. A changed humanity is being birthed, and your active participation is needed. The desire for a new world and a love-based society is at the tipping point.

Since the essential nature of human beings is to be notoriously resistant to change, the “shadow” part of our person will surface during these transitional times. The shadow exposes us to our resistances, wounds, and faulty beliefs — all of the obstacles to our advancement. The difficulty of shadow work is that it can often be insidious and before you know it you can be in full participation with it.

Strive to act as a witness to yourself. Watch and observe yourself like a scientist might observe an experiment. Notice what thoughts or beliefs create which emotions. Ask how often you stay rigid with an attitude or opinion and why? Remember that beliefs are created by thoughts and beliefs will determine your reality. Thus everyone can PROVE that his or her belief system is true because our attraction of like vibrations affirms the truth for us. One will have experience after experience that supports the individual’s belief system. In that it is their reality, it is true. However, just because the belief system proves itself to be true, does not necessarily make it either right or helpful for the individual. Remember that what we attract to us might promote positive conditions or might draw in negative energy and prove damaging.

Whatever the nature of this reality, the continuing reinforcement of the reality of the belief will over time produce a thought-form. Thought-forms become overarching paradigms that take on the nature of perceived “universal truths” in the collective eyes of a culture and can define an era and last for centuries. Their “truth” exists in the acquiescence of a civilization to accept and not question the validity of the thought. The passing of an era and the emergence of a new world occurs with the shifting of a paradigm, and “truth” becomes redefined.

Early human civilization was characterized by a belief in the oneness of humans with their environment and as hunters and gatherers these so-called primitives lived as part of their surroundings and not apart from its wildness and naturalness. Indigenous cultures continued to hold these thought-forms even as so-called advanced civilizations became detached from the world and sought to subdue and control it.

The Early Agricultural Age was characterized as a struggle to control the forces of nature, to subdue the natural elements and to bend the forces of the universe’s energies to satisfy the power lust of civilized man. After the passage of centuries, civilization took another giant step into the future with the emergence of the Industrial Age and the conversion of work into a process of a larger corporate entity and humankind into mechanisms to feed this machine. What had been crafts and satisfying individual achievements became work on an assembly line or toil at desks where the individual had little knowledge of the larger complexity of the system, much less any influence. Thought-forms created a reality that seemed to be the natural condition of advancing civilization and the acceptance of this belief made it real.

This example is of a thought-form in the largest possible context, but a thought-form may also exist as the product of an individual belief system. In fact, the larger thought-form emerges as the individual thought-forms of the members of a civilization begin to converge and a common belief system materializes and assumes the role of “truth.” The ending of an era also is the result of individual alterations of individual thought-forms.
The dawning of the Age of Aquarius is the product of emerging new understandings of the necessity to align oneself in harmony with the world and to see the oneness of ourselves in the universe. As these common beliefs coalesce around a new universal awareness, we become collectively conscious of our new “truth” and the old thought-forms begin to fall away as a new era comes into being.

For us as individuals, the significant takeaway from this knowledge of the constructs of civilization is that our individual thoughts, beliefs, and actions are the source of the fundamental change that shifts an entire culture to a new consciousness. All great change begins with individual transformation and the universe depends on each of us for our contribution to the shift. The spirits recently said to me, “every person born has the full potential to change the world single handedly.” The scores of data that has flooded into book stores and workshops from and for metaphysical participants, gurus, channelers, energy medicine practitioners, shamans and Reiki followers have educated us for 25 years about the need for a: change in attitude, letting go of old periderms, be the change, open to love, appreciate, an attitude of gratitude, and choose the positive.   It is time to stop gathering data and put into action these principals and lifestyles.  Our overall goal/intention during this year is to reach ascension, which is a higher vibratory consciousness that this new dimensional reality offers, where the Earth herself is going uninterrupted by human dismay. The spirits clearly state that this new reality is expressed in the body by the feeling of appreciation. Appreciation is the higher consciousness as it is understood in this context extends beyond mere gratitude or thankfulness, which are certainly positive qualities. Appreciation is an easier emotion to generate and a higher emotion than joy, but one that we often neglect. Everyone can appreciate something and be consumed with the feeling, whereas the feeling of joy or gratitude can be more challenging to express, especially in difficult situations. More easily conceptualized, gratitude + praise = Appreciation.

You are surrounded by an infinite number of things that you can appreciate. If you can read this you have the gift of sight and an education that has allowed you to read. Wow, appreciate that. You must also have a computer or access to a computer and the internet to read this. Double Wow! That is miraculous. Feel that deep within yourself, open your heart, look around your world and appreciate. Your effortless movement toward a new consciousness of all that appreciation has to offer will create gateways for you into the emerging new dimension. Your appreciation will serve as a preparation of your spirit to not only align to the new age, but to help create the new reality. We are the creators and our appreciation will reveal the way forward. 

Simply stated by the spirits, “appreciation is a precreative harmonic frequency.”

A new era is at hand and you and I are faced with the choice to resist and live in the fading thought-forms of a passing age or to engage actively in the creation of a new world.

Heart to Heart,

Jan

Appreciation cuts through interdimensional lines of reality.

Independent of your history the act of appreciation towards the Earth will help heal the dire straits we have created.  To literally send the energy of love and appreciation with thoughtful intention to the Earth moves the pendulum on the continuum of life and starts creating a new thought from that will influence humanity positively.  A thought form of veneration and respect of life, all her creatures in all its forms visible and non-visible.  Appreciation cuts through interdimensional lines of reality and services those of the invisible worlds.  We are all together as we move collectively with the Earth into her ascended state of consciousness, all inhabitants are involved, appreciate and be in awe of the unseen. (faery, devas, sprits, elves, etc.) Yes, they do exist.  I recently asked the spirits how much do we actually see around us, what kind of percentage?  I was dumbfounded when they replied, less than 1%.  Wow, we are blind and yet try to have dominance.  How arrogant of us.

Earth sings a song of deep unconditional love, which changes the vibration of all things.  This song originates from the pure heart of her being; it transforms matter, spiritualizing it into its transcendent form. The Song of the Earth can rectify human kind when humans realize this, appreciate it and harmonize with it. We can fortify the Earth’s song by sending appreciation to her.  She will in turn augment and enrich us with interdimensional awareness, feelings of bliss and ecstasy that will well up within your being and you will become one with the One Song, the Universe. This simple, fortifying act can be done throughout your day and definitely during defined meditation times of concentration and focus.  The transmutation of your being is without question one of the greatest contributions that you can make to the world. This reminds me of the truth that I live by, which is, it doesn’t matter what the rest of the world is doing; what matters is what I am doing.  What vibration am I broadcasting?  If I stay in my “Song” I will affect the world in the most positive way.

The other lethal thought form that humans have generated is that they are separate from God, Creator, or Source.  This thought form has destroyed vitality, worthiness, inspiration, creativity and passion amongst humans. Many people behave like beaten dogs with their tail between their legs, hovering, wining, and pitiful.  No organization, government, community, or person can give you your worth.  It is intrinsic and your connection to source is unequivocal.  Appreciation is again the healer of this illusionary state.  To feel appreciation actually changes your DNA. It creates new connections in your brain and re-patterns thoughtwaves.  It reprograms, revitalizes and reconstructs new harmonic patterns in your lightbody.  The feeling transfigures you.

Marty Nelson is one of the LightSong counsel members and he says it beautifully.  Appreciation = gratitude + praise.  Praise the earth, praise life, praise the magnificence of a flower, praise yourself and learn the feeling of appreciation. They are blissful and ecstatic.   Learn the feeling of appreciation so well that you can call it up with your will; it automatically fuels the transformation of your being.

During these turbulent times of chaotic weather patterns, governmental holocaust, environmental distress, be an activist of the highest order.  Take action through appreciation!  You will not only change yourself you will contribute to the transformation of humanity.

The spirits are clear that to be in alignment with ascension there are particular principles and practices associated with our energy fields that must be understood and implemented. One does not need to be a shaman or taken shamanic classes to enter into this work. However, one should be comfortable with deeply altered states of awareness for extended periods of time and basic journey skills are always beneficial.

Ascension- Appreciation- Action

We are in the shift of a prophesied time — the ending of a time period that has extended for a:
5,121-year cycle

26,000-year cycle

62 million-year cycle

The shift from an era that has lasted for several millennia into a new age is happening now. The Earth is ascending and we are going with her.  The spirits have informed me that the shifts of 2012 have the potential of being cataclysmic and/or revolutionary. This year has great potential for huge confusion and there are insidious dangers that surround us. Simple action can create tremendous protection and ease while we surf the wave of this monumental energy.

Ascension and greater consciousness have been my intention for years. I work with the spirits consistently and follow their guidance to the best of my ability.  For the past several years the spirits have been diligent about me aligning with the natural rhythms of the earth and stars.  Under their guidance, for one year I slept outside under the stars to regain this galactic rhythm.  Yes, that means with no tent and yes, it rained and was very cold at certain times.  It is amazing the melodies you can construct with the rain hitting a tarp over your sleeping bag.  I then had to sleep on the ground in a cave realigning with the Earth, with no light.  This was makeshift in my yard with tarps over a picnic table, which seemed to work just great.  Now the spirits have asked me to move away from the Gregorian calendar.  They have said that to realign with the stars and earth and then to continue to plan according to the Gregorian calendar is counter productive. LightSong dates need to be in astrological alignment not Gregorian. With that said my newsletter will reflect more lunar timing.

The conducts and methods of this world often pull us from our true self instead of aligning with it.  Being in alignment with the natural cycles of the planets is minor in comparison to specific devastating thought forms that hold us separate from our mother the Earth.  Through the centuries we have remained caught in an illusion and a delusion that humans have a dominance over the earth and the children (creatures) of the Earth. Indigenous cultures see all of life as interdependent and unified.  Human beings have evolved to lose that understanding and to imagine themselves as separate and superior.

The stories of indigenous cultures provide a wisdom that exceeds the simple logic that human beings rely on. Mankind’s need to dominate has led him to resist and be blind to the true nature of the living system. A vital step towards ascension or raising your vibration into higher levels of awareness is being in harmonic resonance with all life.  To respect, honor, and devote one self to expressing reverence of all life.  Being of service to the whole of life.  This does not need to be gallant or noble in efforts but originates from the heart.  It is expressed by the feeling of great appreciation.  Spending time each day appreciating the Earth and all of her inhabitants.  Those that have walked this way may consider this obvious; those new initiates to the idea might find it strange.
