We’re being called to address any issues now that will keep us from fully playing our part in co-creating the new world we are rapidly moving into. To do this, you may need to look closely at who/what is truly driving your bus—(directing your life and controlling your happiness). It may be the invisible but powerful 600-pound gorilla in the driver’s seat—taking wrong turns, slamming on the brakes and crashing into things. No matter how hard you try, it seems to take you everywhere but where you want to go.

This rogue, life-limiting gorilla is any pattern, old belief, fear, experience or idea deeply buried in your subconscious and/or energy-body. It’s driving your bus and controlling one or more aspects of your life. It’s in charge of your life or an area of your life and it’s controlling where you go and how you get there, how you act and respond. It’s in the driver’s seat. It’s taking your bus—your life—down dead-ends, over rocky roads and on trips you never consciously intended. These old patterns and beliefs no longer serve your highest good and your purpose.

And you’re not to blame. We all have beliefs from our past that served us as kids or even as adults in certain situations—and they will sabotage our lives now if the energetic charge is great enough. These beliefs are as many as there are people. However, some common ones are: There’s never enough; I’m not good enough; money doesn’t grow on trees; I’ll never be successful; I’m not loveable; only the rich get richer; and on and on. You may be saying, “not me, I don’t believe that stuff.” And maybe you’re right. However—our subconscious (in fact, our entire energy-body) carries everything we have ever heard or felt emotionally since birth and even in utero, until we consciously clear it or neutralize it.

Studies have shown that even in utero and until  about two years of age, a child’s brain is predominately in a Delta brain wave state. This state in an adult is a state of very deep meditation or sleep. It’s the state where growth hormones are produced and a child absorbs everything it hears, sees and feels into its subconscious. It’s learning how to adapt to, live in and survive in the environment it’s born into. From age two until six years old approximately, a child’s predominant brain wave pattern is Theta—the brain wave state of meditation—and it absorbs everything without filters or conscious reasoning. If you heard repeatedly or even once if it was powerful enough that, “you’re stupid,” or “little girls can’t do that,” or you observed panic in your house about lack of money, or you witnessed great disharmony or abuse or one of thousands of other messages that kids receive from parents, teachers, friends and others, even if the intent was good—it’s in your subconscious, and it may be driving your bus. It’s important to know that older children and adults can also take on buried beliefs and emotional energies from traumatic or repetitive negative experiences.

The great news is that once you become aware—you can change things, and actually change your life quite quickly. It’s my belief that we are all being called to clear the powerful energetic charge these deeply held beliefs, patterns and experiences hold over us.  These are the fear-based, limiting, discouraging beliefs and patterns that interfere with our connection to all that is good for us. This negative energy can and does easily negate any positive affirmations.  Like does truly does attract like.  And if your subconscious is putting out the energy signals of lack, limitation, failure, unlovable, and other self-sabotaging vibrations, you can try until the cows come home–and very little will change.

Isn’t it time to boot the gorilla off the bus and hop back into the driver’s seat?

Your life is waiting!

 Anyone who is even mildly awake can see that we are living in times that are nothing like we’ve ever seen before. If you think differently-you’re asleep.

 We must choose to change with it-to bend and flow and co-create with the change that has arrived and not just from outside forces-but from the deep Inner Self that calls us to become our best-to participate in creating a better world for everyone. No exceptions, No exclusions. No time to waste.

 You were intended to live at this time in the history of the world. You have a part to play in making it better-or making it worse.  Choose better.

 We are being offered the chance of a lifetime-to become the best we can be. The best we are intended to be as individuals, communities and countries in a new era of caring, sharing, compassion, fairness and equality for everyone, in every country. A new respect for our environment and the animals we share the planet with.

 A new interdependence is birthing itself.

 It’s very exciting. If we can look at the chaos and turmoil around us with the knowing that we are re-creating a better world; a better economy based on honesty and fairness instead of runaway greed; a just and compassionate global society; and a cleaner and greener earth for all of us to live on-then it makes it easier to accept that what’s happening is necessary to evolve us into a humanity that will shine so much brighter than our recent past.

It is an evolution—not a horse race.

If we consider the fact that the Universe itself is multibillions of years old, then our average lifetimes for this go-round are just nanoseconds on God’s clock. What seems like a snail’s pace to us is perfectly ordered and orchestrated for maximum results. With that said, our biggest challenge to the process of becoming is to learn to embody faith and trust. Not just say we have or practice them—but embody them.

The road back to a focused on-purpose life is littered with cast off control issues, other people’s dreams for us, our own preconceived notions of what is perfect for us, and everything else that no longer serves us on our new journey.

When you look back on the events of your life from a new and higher view, the timing and the events you review will have been perfect. Some you still may not understand, because you are not supposed to. That’s ok; in fact, it’s perfect.

Abraham Lincoln’s story is a great example of the process of becoming. Lincoln was an amazing man according to most history books. He also experienced many difficulties and tragedies on his way to his own greatness, learning something from everything and becoming stronger through very difficult circumstances. Lincoln had his own set of roadblocks and train wrecks.

It took Lincoln thirty years to achieve his dream of becoming president. Over a period of forty-four years he went through what many of us can relate to. He was forced to work at age seven after his family lost their home. His mother died when he was nine; he was nearly killed when kicked in the head by a horse; his business failed [he spent seventeen years paying back money he had borrowed from friends]; he was defeated for the legislature; he lost his job and failed to get into law school. This was followed by a personal and business bankruptcy, several more legislative defeats, the death of his sweetheart, a nervous breakdown, multiple bouts of melancholy and deep depression, and a failed run at the Vice Presidency. All of this happened before he won the presidency of the United States in 1860. Lincoln also suffered through the death of ten out of his twelve children and the ever-present  “melancholia” of his wife Mary Todd.

When you partner with your Higher Self, some things will happen very quickly. Others will take much more time. On a Universal or Cosmic level, things need to be developed, put in place, and made available for your great new life. People need to be brought into your life and you into theirs. There may be skills you need to learn. A house may need to be built or a job developed that doesn’t even exist yet. Or maybe you need to be fired, experience betrayal, overcome an addiction or lose your money, or all of these things. Your faith may need to be made stronger and your trust absolute. Your character may need bolstering. And you’ll need to develop great listening and visual skills, the kind that sees and hears Spirit everywhere and in every living thing, including most importantly—within you.
