The Power of the Heart

I’m smiling as I begin this blog because it touches a very deep chord within me and I’m sure many of you will also resonate with it. Almost immediately after writing my first blog in this series, I began to get into a slight panic about what on earth I was going to write in the next one. After the Light-worker’s Prayer, I just didn’t feel as if there was much more I wanted to say but there was a blog now! And a blog had to be filled didn’t it? A blog had to be logging SOMETHING, didn’t it? Of course, there were things I wanted to write about, tons of things I wanted to share, but there was just no real flow in any of them; they just weren’t in my heart. They were all in my head! There was so much I wanted to say about so many hot topics of the day. So much crazy stuff was happening ‘out there’, surely there was stuff that needed to be said about it all….now!! But somehow, nothing was moving me to open up a new word document, and even when I forced myself to, somehow the fingers just wouldn’t move across the keys. Every time I thought of something that seemed important to say, I just froze up inside and somehow couldn’t feel the inspired voices in my head that always helped me to find a beautiful way to say what needed to be said. So I asked my guides, “What’s going on? Why haven’t I ‘got’ something?”

And the reply I received was something like this…”Why do you need it now? Why is quantity so important to you? Does giving a lot have to mean …producing a lot? What if that one prayer could heal a thousand hearts? What would you choose to write now?” I was stumped! But surely, I needed to have a few things lined up, at least so I’d know there was going to be….something there on a regular basis!!!

“And what if that one prayer, the one which was destined to heal a thousand hearts, was the only thing you ever communicated, what then?” I thought for a minute. Surely the whole point of all of this was to create something that was meaningful and of benefit, so who was I to judge what that might be, how much of it might appear on a page… and when. But it was still baffling. Surely my guides weren’t actually saying that there WOULD only ever be one message on this blog!! Suddenly, the word “attachment” was there again, hovering in the air like a hungry gull, waiting to suck away my usual enthusiasm and the unbridled joy I customarily felt at racing my fingers over the keyboard, imagining I was like Mozart, only with words instead of notes. And now I understand what it all means. So here is a timely, seasonal light-worker message for seasoned light-workers everywhere, and just in time for the Winter Solstice/Christmas period; with all of its potential swings and roundabouts; joys and tears; tantrums and tensions or, perhaps (for those who have been preparing for a utopia for some decades now…) peace, perfect peace…

The quality of who we are and our loving soul’s intent to become more loving is surely the greatest gift we can ever give to the world, and it is what we choose to do from THAT consciousness, every day, in every waking moment that marks us out as true beings of love-light consciousness, whether we give that gift through a smile; a kind word; a choice to love instead of react, or the simple gift of being able to truly touch another human being’s heart, in just the right moment, in a way that makes them instantly remember that they too are full of loving light…. Yes, there is indeed a time to stand up and be counted, a time to be heard, a time to fight for what is right and to expose the imbalances and injustices taking place all around us. And there is also a time to remember that we are infinitely more powerful than any of the illusory tricks and traps, which might attempt to knock us off balance and tempt us to forget momentarily that we are love, and that love is the greatest power in the universe. A universe of love was created by a sequence of small, Divine sparks …of the conscious intent to become far greater THROUGH loving…and that universe of love surrounds each and every one of us right now…even when we cannot, or will not, see or feel it.

It is possible to become attached to just about anything, including ‘the struggle’ or the way in which we are being asked to serve love… yet, attachment and true inspiration do not sit well together. So let us clarify our intentions to be and to become more loving, to become love, to allow love to move through us, inspire us, show us how to change the world in a way that has lasting impact and remind us that our beautiful universe of love is tireless and bountiful. Yes, we can have most of the things our minds can dream up for us to desire …yet there is always a greater truth that shines beneath our desires and says that whatever else happens…we are love, love is the true creator of all that is meaningful and love moves in perfection!

Wishing us all a very Merry Christmas and a Hearty New Year!!!

Only Love is Real

This week, I’d just like to respond to a debate that was sparked by my first blog in this series, A Lightworker’s Prayer. Well, okay, it was more a question than a debate. Come to think of it, it was actually more of an implication than a question but it was there, nevertheless, just kind of ...hanging in the air between friends and asking something like this... “so....don’t you think there’s any space within the consciousness of a true lightworker for desiring and enjoying material abundance?”

So the first thing that comes to mind is that, A lightworker’s prayer is simply that, a lightworker’s, this lightworker’s prayer ...of surrender, non-attachment and the sincere desire to allow love to be the strongest motivation for everything I might achieve in this life and a statement of loving intent and deep, deep gratitude for what already is ...right NOW, rather than a request for poverty. Lol!!! Poverty is deeply unpleasant, although, admittedly, much less so when you’re surrounded by fruit trees and sunshine.

Yet, there is surely no greater wealth than knowing what you love and empowering yourself with the ability to get into a feel-good, in love with the world, loving and benevolent space. And that’s not always easy when the current system of exchange insists that money is our God and therefore those who have it are saved from a mediocre life, delivered mercifully from their ‘quiet desperation’ and handed paradise on a series of exotic, hand-painted plates while those who don’t, will have to interminably suffer sackcloth, ashes and material hell-fire and damnation. (Just going to extremes to make my point)

However, thankfully, yes, some of the most beautiful, inspired, spiritual souls on the planet are very wealthy and long may this trend continue to spread.  I would suspect that during these times of energetic shift and Divine realignment, these souls might have felt an even greater burst of altruism. There are no judgements towards those who aspire to the empowerment that wealth can offer. It’s just perhaps important to notice, once again, that only love is real and everything else IS simply demonstrating varying degrees of illusion! However, the need to suffer impoverishment in order to prove one’s goodness is also an illusion. In context, it’s actually all okay. It’s all just whatever it is!! The light of new consciousness is shining irrepressibly through the cracks of our limited, black and white understanding and transforming everything it touches, slowly illuminating all great beauty and all great injustice alike so why worry.

Trust your heart, follow your joy!!! You were put on this earth for your own specific, magical purpose and there are no contradictions in a fifth dimensional space, just love, truthful self-expression, unified consciousness, understanding and the balancing of all things. Everything can exist in harmony. The 5^th dimension is simply love and love never makes us wrong! In and of itself, there is nothing wrong with wealth or striving to be wealthy or showing others how to become financially free! In fact, how can it be more correct that greed and corruption are so richly rewarded in our society while those with genuine goodness in their hearts and a deep desire to serve are constantly told that they should do what they do for free, only for the love of it! There are no “should”s in this dimension. All are free to choose but I suspect that if the world’s wealth was suddenly in the hands of those who place loving service at the top of their priorities, the world would change over night...  Oh, yes, under our current (woefully outworn and primitive) system (of exchanging things of great value for little pieces of metal and paper) in the right hands, money can spread loving feelings like wildfire!!! But the attachment ... Aye, there’s the rub!

The desperate worship of anything outside ourselves will only ever serve to impoverish us spiritually and increase the illusions of separation which encourage us to justify our cruelty towards each other.

The idea that one thing or being can have supremacy over another and that this falsely elevated position can bring satisfaction in and of itself, is as futile as the idea that if I have “financial security,” this will mean anything at all to me when I breathe my last, physical breath.

So as far as wealth goes, enjoy it if you have it. Live the life you love and be who you are at the highest, loving expression of yourself, whatever this means. But don’t be fooled into thinking that your wealth makes you ‘somebody’ or conned into thinking that poverty is a virtue. Become a shining inspiration rather than a dull and soulless aspiration or a sallow and turgid martyr. Burn brightly from INSIDE, without compromise, knowing all the while, that you could walk away at any moment if seeking your true path demanded this.

And this too: Know that you are always abundantly rich whenever your heart is light and your spirit is truly free.

Thank you for raising these inspired questions. Your responses and enquiries are such a blessing!!!

Wishing you an abundant weekend!! ;-)

Sleeping Gods!

Today I sat and wondered how it would feel to be an atheist, to not have any place in my heart for any concept of a Divine being or aspect whatsoever, even one I called something like “source energy” or “The universe”. What would it feel like to just have no feeling whatsoever, of anything indescribably sublime and greater, more powerful than myself but of which I was still an essential part, despite its greatness? How would it feel not to have a sense of being metaphysically connected to every other being on this planet and in this great universe, regardless of what name I chose to give to the spaces between us? It felt a bit like trying to pretend I had never tasted chocolate ice-cream or coconut milk and cacao smoothies or trying to imagine that I’d never ever ran through the ocean with little bubbles of cool foam bursting in refreshingly enthusiastic joy all over my feet. It was like trying to imagine I’d never seen a sunset or a sunflower and didn’t know about that sudden, sunny madness that could make you gasp with irrational, awe-struck happiness... It was like trying to imagine I’d never, ever loved anyone or anything ...ever....

How would I explain the beauty of the night sky now? ...Or Van Gough or Mozart? How could I ever listen to Dr. King’s I have a dream speech and rationalise away those goose-pimples? How could I make sense of Mahalia Jackson’s heart-stirring talent or Michael Jackson’s Dangerous choreography? How could I possibly understand the power and beauty of those exquisitely paranormal and Divine models of self-expression and mastery as purely human or even scientific phenomena? (Newtonian, not quantum physics...which is, after all, constantly hinting at God and Godlike human qualities anyway, albeit through a very cold and theoretical series of baffling, cloak-and dagger-communications. Come right out and say it pepes...we created the universe WITH God and continue to do so and it scares the bejesus out of some of us!!!).

Anyway, the more I thought about it, the more curious I began to feel. In fact, I actually started to feel a bit frustrated. I was being deprived of an experience!  What does it FEEL like to be an atheist, I mused, for want of something better to do. What did you pray to? Who wrote your books and blogs for you? And where did all the love go? What would you do with it all?

‘I’ve got an idea,’ I said to God, who had been listening intently to my peculiar train of thought, ‘I’m going to spend the rest of the day pretending I don’t believe in you...just to see how it feels.’

G – Okay, yes, that sounds like fun. I’m going to try it as well. Let’s do it! For the rest of the day, I’m going to pretend I don’t believe in you...just to see how it feels!

Long pause

Me – Hmmm...now THAT doesn’t sound like SUCH a great idea... !!!!!

Long Pause

G – Hmmmmm... I know what you mean...

Long Pause

G - Back to work...?

Me –Yeah, yeah............sure.............. sure...

Well, that’s almost it for now friends.  I’m trying to stick with my determination to respect your time by keeping these communications short and snappy, even though there’s SO much more I want to say!!! Thank you for sharing this moment. I hope that whatever you believe in, whatever your God is, whether or not you choose to have one, you believe in something, anything, beyond this three dimensional awareness of yourself,  that can stir your soul into greatness and remind you of your awesome creative power. Most of all, I hope you understand that whatever you choose, you are still a work of perfection, a cellular explosion waiting to ignite, a holy rolling stone, waiting to gather momentum!  God doesn’t care if you’re an atheist. God probably completely respects your choice and admires your refusal to accept a set of doctrines and dilutions on pure here-say. I think God probably gets it!

I wonder who God would prefer to hang out with – an allegedly devout lunatic who uses God’s alleged words to create conflict, suffering and personal strife, and uphold an age-old system of human enslavement and self-doubt, or a loving atheist with a great sense of humour and a Centerpoint standing order? It’s a feeling thing, a thing that lives miles apart from a far-reaching range of descriptive possibilities, and God probably loves nothing more that a good laugh at our inability to grasp her/his/its true nature. But I’ll bet, these days, The source of all creativity and wonderful infinite choice is beginning to marvel at our burgeoning understanding!

For me, the whole God thing is a personal , visceral thing. It’s not something you can understand with your brain. It has to be alive in your heart before you can really know it. And once you know it, there’s just no way of UN-knowing it again. The idea that it and I are not separate is no longer just a theory.  God expressing itself as Diane, who is sitting here at this laptop, for the most part, unaware of a universe of paranormal activity that forms itself around her to create just one treasured, perfect moment of thought and feeling.

Experiment today, with knowing yourself as God as you go about expressing your creative impulses and your loving stirrings... just to see how it feels.    J

Dear friends, whoever you pray to and whatever your beliefs, I hope that someday soon, an undefined and unconditional quality of rousing and magnificent love will rampage through your heart and awaken you to yourself, as a little fragment of sleeping-God who is capable of shaping beautiful worlds!  Do not hang your head in doubt or cower away in the darkness, awaiting a judgement you don’t believe in!! Do not analyse your way into another angry, anti-something corner. Lift your head and heart and once again say, with Godlike force and fury...LET THERE BE LIGHT!!

Precious friends,

Namaste

I truly honour the Divine in you.

A Light-worker’s Prayer

This prayer came to me recently as I basked in the gentle afterglow of that beautiful wave of 10.10.10 energy. I’ve noticed something very interesting since that day: A huge shift in our consciousness towards a deeper understandingof our truly Divine nature. It’s no longer just words. We are beginning to experience ourselves as little pieces of the source of all loving, creative light, this magnificent flame of unquenchable consciousness, expressing itself through these little men and women’s bodies and minds. And as I sit here now, after such a long process of cleansing and personal realignment, in what feels like the calm after the energetic storms, I am amazed at the speed and scale of the changes taking place all around us. Thank you for being patient with me. I know my communication over the past year has been a bit “random” as my daughters might say. There are some very mysterious aspects of the ascension process, as you know, and the last year or so has been a pretty intense time for many…

Another thing I have noticed recently is a reprioritisation ofwhat is truly important to us in our lives and a deeper awareness of what is purely illusory. What is it that we really need in order to feel at peace with ourselves and how do we reconcile our previous desires and ambitions with our sudden recognition of the transient nature of the things of the physical plane. Almost overnight, there seems to be a new consciousness emerging and it feels to me, suspiciously like the energy of the fifth dimension!!! Here on earth!!!!We ARE breaking through. Love is breaking through, spectacularly!!!

This new blog is born out of a frequent bathing in that consciousness;the desire to continue to share the insights and inspirations I receive and for us all to grow, learn and teach from our individual experiences and our collective process. So that we can feel our Divine connection more frequently...more constantly and awaken fully, as beautiful, centred, loving, inspired, ascended beings, leaping fearlessly into a golden age of enlightenment with our hearts ablaze and our feet on solid ground.

In that spirit, I have created this space for us to share our transitioning experiences and our journeys. Please leave your comments, ask me anything, tell me anything.I have been to so many beautiful places and tried so many things in order to become a consciousness who is able to bring back the gems I hope to share with you in this space.  I never stop asking questions and I am constantly learning. I hope you are as avid a student as I am because this is, in the end, the way we will all become true masters!  Please share this prayer freely, but also mention and share this link with anyone else who might enjoy this blog.

Love, light and peace

Diane

A Light-worker’s Prayer

Great Spirit, Divine loving light,

If I can walk with your song in my heart everyday; if you guide my steps constantly; if you speak to me in the stillness, clearly and with strength and I often choose to listen. If I can find a way to love you, to serve you, to heal and uplift those you send to me for this purpose, if my children are fulfilled and happy and walk with you and your Angels constantly. If I always have food and drink from your plants, trees and rain and I can always grow and bless the earth as they do: naturally; according to your will and the laws of nature. If I can soothe the hearts of the world-weary, by allowing you to rush, unhindered, through these walking words, my open heart and these burning hands. If I can stand aside as you reach out to lead them gently back into your care; You who needs no name but has many; You – the Divine, all-knowing, infinitely loving centre of each bright soul. If I always have a safe and comfortable place to sleep at night and sunshine on my face by day, reminding me of your warmth and those gentle, loving rays that bless me constantly through the cold. If I can examine my heart, with kindly eyes and say, with honour that I have loved you with every inch of my being and sought you constantly. If you are suddenly revealed to me again and again in new and enriching ways, touching my every breath with the true miracles that come just from knowing and loving the fiery heart of you… then my life will be well lived and my job well done.

Divine, loving light, teach me to be humble when my ambitions and plans tempt me to stray from your sweetness. Help me to understand that nothing is more precious than your love and I will allow it into my heart whenever I am humble enough to know that I am only human and courageous enough to remember that I am Divine.

Because nothing else is real except the love that flows through this heart from the infinite source of all loving light and creation, yet, even this limitless love needs attention. Like the fruits of the abundant vine, passing through time, it comes to nothing if it is not harvested respectfully and shared abundantly.

Help me to always be mindful of love with a heart-full of love and to remember that love heals all, saves all, cures all, moves all and in the end is all… Teach me to surrender all things to a  higher and higher love.

And if I can find one thing on this earth so sweet as this love, then I will cling to it as I cling to you. And if just one lover exists who understands and shares my love for you or whose embrace touches me in the deepest parts of my soul,those that only you have ever reached before, then maybe, I will fall in love.

Until then, and happily, ever after, I am swimming in love, bathing in love and truly falling into love. You fill me up and I am a channel, a vessel for the Divine truth of true love.

Great Spirit, Father/Mother/Lover-God, do not let me be shaken by criticism or praise. Let me remember often, to step fully into my true light, away from the deceptions and seductions of the mind.Whatever comes and goes, let me shine steadily in each moment, knowing that only love is infinite and everlasting. Help me to walk my path in full faith, even when I fear my life might look absurd to others. Help me to expect and see the best in others and to be as open to receiving love as I am to giving love.

Help me to go within to find what truly matters, to rise above the seemingly disastrous and teach others to do the same, seeing wisdom in everything and resisting the temptation to fall into despair. Or to constantly seek the advice of others, knowing all the while that all great counsel comes from within…from the heart you’ve made your home, in just an instant.

Help me to trust. Teach me to surrender. Make me kinder, wiser, stronger. Strengthen my faith, love, hope and charity - and, yes, the greatest of these is love - and I will share this love, simply with my willingness to let it flow through me, without attachment to where it goes or who it touches because attachment is not love.Love is its own sweet thing, for its own sweet name’s sake, flowing through all other things, with a unconditional kiss, like an unrehearsed song.

Bright loving light, expose me when I am hiding away in fear or indulging in false modesty. Great Spirit, move me and show me when to rise up and step up and when to be still and find the heart of my life, letting all else pass away. Let me feel the certainty of the flow of your loving direction, daily. Teach me how to bend with it and stop the struggle I sometimes have with life. Love does not struggle.

Help me to use my co-creative power, to create things of beauty that benefit the ALL. Help me to find theexquisiteness within the depths of my soul that inspires me to create things of great beauty, simply for the joy of creating things of great beauty. Help me to co-create my life with love, from love, FOR love, to create more love and to express love in everything knowing all the time that nothing comes from me, only through me on the crest of that same sacred wave, which IS love.

And if all this is not enough, then you will show me the way to do more and I will try to follow you in full faith. Yet you and I will always belong to each other, one way or another, just as the leaves belong to the tree and even as they fall, they nurture the soil in which it stands. It always was and ever shall be.I am your flowering and your birth. You are my centre, my trunk on this earth. Love is the constant, watering stream.

The living, loving,wandering gleam

Stillness: the rock over which it flows.

And peace is the path and the seed that we sow

Deep in my heart, Mother, Father, Loving Light, I already know who and what I am. Help me to know it more, to be it now and to live, love and express it ALL for love’s sake, shining my light, living my truth and inevitably serving my purpose, whenever I am serving love.

Divine, loving spirit within, wherever we lead me, let there always be hot showers and scented soap, merry souls, good books and occasionally, yes…roses.
