Tonight -- January 5, 2008 – I turned on the TV to watch the presidential hopefuls give the American public their most convincing shot. I couldn’t take more than two minutes of the hypocrisy and political wordplay – or is that redundant.
I was about to turn my attention away completely when I felt the familiar squeeze in my mind, and these words came in to my knowing, and immediately onto my hard drive via my willing fingers.
“The choices facing you are those choices you – as a group – have created with the infinitesimally small, detailed building blocks you have used. You have at your disposal the entire array of cosmological ideas, events, memories, projections, and emotions. But so few of you use anywhere near the complement of that vast array.
“You say, “I am a writer,” or “I am an office worker,” or “I am an overwhelmed mother,” and you believe – because you have been convinced to believe – that your talents and powers are limited to the familiar, role-defined or family-defined arena described in your statement. But your statement merely describes a momentary role which you can transcend in your imagination any time you want. You are each Superman, Wonderwoman.
“You have been trained out of the habit, so strong in children, of using your imagination for the powerhouse it is. Your imagination is not a small pocket that lives somewhere in your small ego-mind. Imagination is the realm of knowing beyond the limits of the three dimensional sandbox of this planet. When you enter the contract of embodying this planet as an individual, you understandably receive the repeated impression that what is real is only that which you and everyone else can perceive with your physical senses. Before you are more impressed by the need to agree with everyone else about the nature of reality, you know more of the limitless nature of all existence. Eventually you give in and make the great sacrifice of closing the majority of your knowing self in a dark closet. Eventually many of you pretend, believing it to be your personal and the only truth, that whatever is not perceptible in the three dimensions does not exist. This is a very great loss and accounts to much sadness, confusion, and disorientation among you.
“It is especially sad and tragic because the atrocities so many of you deplore are a function of this denial of the full range of powers available to you as human beings. You are the only ones who can bring healing to your planet. There is no strategically designed or hidden agenda for preserving a magic button which when pressed pulls aside a curtain revealing a better world. You cannot wake up from the world that you have created, nor from that world’s repressive systems.
“However, you do have the power to change the nature of the world, its systems, and the myriad challenges you face. The power is in your own selves, in your chemistry, in your emotions, in your will, in the very nature of your creation.
“If you don’t like what you experience of your world, you can change it, and only you can change it. Not enough of you believe this, and this is partly, if not wholly, because, locked in your dark closet, you have not yet dreamed of the dynamic magnitude that sits literally at the end of your fingertips and your tongue.
“When you speak from your passion, with love and appreciation, the power of the energy that flows from your speech infects, yes, infects, those in hearing of your speech, whether they are physically near you or not.
“When you touch another person or a thing with your hands in the moment of your passionate, grateful appreciation, no matter what the focus, your hands pass on the virus of your positive energy.
“Each of you is a being flowing with blessing and powerful healing. Merely be that, unabashed and out in the open, in every moment of your life and you will change the world.
We are shining beings of unimagined capacity for love, healing, and creation. See the way I see us at www.energyportraits.com.
