An Intention to Fully Be Presence

The following Sunday after the white snake dream, my husband, dog, and I went to our local park, something we strive to enjoy on a weekly basis depending on how we feel and the weather condition.

Right before the entrance to the parkway, as usual, I invited all aspects of my self (to include ego self and shadow self) and extensions of Divinity within me—my Higher Self/guardian angel/angels, Archangels, and Ascended Masters (especially Jesus/Sananda)/Family of Light (Arcturians, Pleiadians, Sirians, Andromedans, and other Guardians of Light)/Mighty I AM Presence/Father Sky/Great Central Sun/Prime Creator/Mother Earth/Gaia/Shakti/Universe/Multiverse/Omniverse/Trinity: God, Goddess and Divine Spirit/All That Is—to join me in the peaceful yet exciting adventure, and thanked them for all that they do and all that they are.

This time, I even stated my intention to fully Be Presence.

Note: Our shadow self are the traits and characteristics that’s either unknown to us, or that society frowns upon because it doesn’t understand them; hence, our fearful ego self/wounded inner-child/unhealed male energy part of soul represses or suppresses them in order to: be accepted and approved by society, protect us, and survive in this physical world.

A Test that Leads to Deeper Guidance

Even during my multi-symptom PMS time—which has subsided over the past few years—Being present in the beautiful and uplifting park has always effortlessly raised my vibrational frequency.

However, as soon as we entered one of the park’s entrance, I allowed an insignificant happening immediately affect my mood.

While my dog was taking a dump on the side of the pathway, in the grassy area, my husband wasn’t paying attention and allowed my dog to step right into his poop.

I overreacted by raising my voice at my husband, allowing such a trivial matter highly irritate me.

Note: Image on right found next to link => intranet.tdmu.edu.ua (thank you)

To my great surprise, instead of reacting back with his own irritation, my husband looked at me with loving eyes and then calmly and gently reminded me that it wasn’t a big deal.

I was grateful that he had consciously chosen to Be Presence when my vibrational frequency had dropped due to an old, surfacing fear-based belief.

What’s amazing to me is that the more I work on changing within—to include but not limited to self-awareness, self-esteem, self-worth, self-confidence, self-compassion, self-forgiveness, self-respect, self-acceptance, self-embrace (of the so-called “negative”/shadow/and even unknown aspects of me), self-empowerment, and self love–—the more I notice that my outer reality reflects my inner reality, to include my now more understanding, present, optimistic, empathetic, compassionate, forgiving, and loving husband.

Recognizing Subconscious Reactions

Looking back, I realize that such a moment of reaction—to my dog merely stepping in his own poop—was one of my habitual subconscious reactions that stemmed from some fear-based beliefs/energies trapped deep within my DNA; and in this case, a fear of someone or something getting “dirty.”

My mother and Korean relatives had shared with me and other family members in the past about some of my quirks.

For instance, my grandmother once told me that she found it interesting that as a child, I would sometimes choose cleaning the furniture over playing with toys.

I found out in my mid-thirties that my grandmother had mostly raised me from about six months until I was about three years old, since my single mother had to work far away in order to support us.

Note: Image on right found next to link => serenityamidthestorm.com (thank you)

My mother told me that one day, when I was child, I came home with one of my arms extended horizontally and a serious expression on my face. I then asked her to clean my arm because a stranger had touched me.

She also told me that I used to take a dry, clean rag and move my right hand in a clockwise circular motion over my bio dad’s portrait face (a painting of him in his military uniform around the time when I was born). When my mom asked me what I was doing, I told her that I was washing my daddy’s face.

Like my grandmother, my mother thought it was interesting as well since my behavior was more than likely due to genetics rather than a learned behavior through one’s environment.

They both assumed that I had received that particular trait—wanting people and things to be clean—from my biological father who had left when I was an infant.

Note: Image on left found next to link => www.dreamstime.com (thank you)

Granted, he was an extreme version of of someone’s who’s germaphobic—a suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder. For example, he demanded that my mother wash and iron the sheets daily, which she confessed to me during my adult years that she had cheated most of the days and would only iron them daily since it seemed like such a waste of detergent to wash them daily. I thought that was funny.

Another example was when my bio dad decided to make breakfast for some of my Korean relatives at my grandmother’s house. My mother watched my bio dad throw away fried eggs back-to-back because they didn’t turn out perfectly round, and she thought to herself, “It’s such a shame that all those good eggs are going to waste.”

I thought it was funny that my aunts, uncle and grandmother’s stomach were growling when breakfast time turned into brunch, and they were all wondering what was going on in the kitchen.

Note: Image on right found next to link => thesharelleexperience.blogspot.com (thank you)

My mother used to hate my bio father with a passion, and understandably so at the time, because he just took off and left one day and never returned.

However, as an adult, I came to a conclusion that my mother also didn’t like humanity in general, which was due to her deep, inner wounds.

I didn’t hate my bio father growing up; I was just curious about this other half of me.

But to my surprise, I ended up hating him with a passion after I spent a total of a few sporadic days with him, starting when I first met him in my mid-thirties. The hatred I felt toward another was also due to my own need of healing within myself.

Embracing and Healing Our Ego and Shadow Self

Note: The following urban definition of the word anal-retentive best supports my use of the adjectives anal and analism throughout this section:

“A mild form of obsessive-compulsive disorder. A collection of very irritating personality traits that include stubbornness, orderliness, and a desire to control others and their surroundings. It makes a person meticulous or fixated about little things, nit-picking or paying extreme attention to detail, and trying to control his or her environment and other people […]”

Note: Image on right found next to link => www.vpfunworld.com (thank you)

In a nutshell, my Japanese-American bio father was the way he was/is because during his childhood, his extremely military-oriented Japanese-American father in the U. S Navy was apparently very anal about how he disciplined his only son, as well as grandchildren.

My bio dad apparently had daily room inspections since he was six years old, and also had to study and even memorize various military manuals.

His father’s expectations of his son to “prove his worthiness” was very high, and my bio dad went over the top to accomplish just that—supposedly becoming an Army Ranger, Special Forces, FBI/CIA agent, and habitually, frequently and continuously bragging to anyone who would listen to his seemingly never-ending mega list of earthly accomplishments.

Note: Image on left found next to link => glad.is (thank you)

My half-brother (whom I’ve never met or talked to before) and my half-sisters from my bio dad’s first marriage, who were mostly raised by my grandfather, weren’t allowed to watch cartoons as children, and were highly disciplined, especially during my grandfather’s personal and strict bible teachings.

By making an intention from our hearts to deeply understand why we humans sometimes think, behave, feel, speak and act the way we do in fearful ways, we can better empathize with, have compassion for, forgive, accept, embrace and even unconditional love ourselves and others at a profound level.

Note: Image on right found next to link => www.theamazingpics.com (thank you) and used to add quote with canva.com

It’s too easy to be quick to judge, and think, assume or say something like, “He’s just an asshole” or “She’s just a bitch.” Sure, that may be so on the outer surface, but what’s really going on deep within?

Many times in the past, we humans have chosen to be wounded wounders rather than wounded healers. We’ve justified our unloving ways with, “Well that’s how my mother, father, sister, brother, uncle, neighbor, acquaintance, friend, coworker, and/or boss, etc. treated me!”

We can either contribute to the viscous cycle of wounded wounders passed down from generations, or, we can choose to start healing and become wounded healers to ourselves and others.

Note: Image on left found next to link => politicalpiehole.com (thank you) and used to add quote with canva.com

I’ve never known my grandfather because he had passed away by the time I first surprise visited my bio dad in 2008; my husband had found him while I was deployed in Iraq, and surprised me when I arrived back home.

However, I trust that my grandfather meant well with how he chose to raise his son and grandchildren at the time, which was more than likely the best he knew how.

I also have a strong feeling that my grandfather also tried to toughen his son up in order to prepare him for a harsh society that didn’t exactly embrace Japanese-Americans at the time.

Had I been aware of such inner-wisdom during my bio dad’s first and last two-day visit at my home in January of 2012, I would’ve been able to do and Be (Divine Presence within me) the following:

deeply understand his unusually extreme, selfish ways, his need to continually prove his worthiness through excessive bragging, and his lack of presence and care for his own four out of six children (the first three from his first marriage with his Japanese wife, the fourth—me—from his non-official Korean wife, and two from his third marriage with his 25+ years younger Italian wife, who passed away from cancer in her early fifties); his 2nd marriage was very briefly with a Caucasian Lieutenant)
deeply empathize with his inability to forgive his father right before his death, telling him, “I’ll see you in hell” the last time he saw him. By forgiving my bio dad unconditionally, I’m able to break the cycle of hatred; hence, no longer pass it down to the next generation.
Be pure compassion by comforting him with a hug during his one vulnerable moment of sudden weeping that he openly shared with me in the living room—more than likely his unspoken way of apologizing for abandoning me without losing face.
share wisdom from my heart to help him to see with clarity and to start healing
accept and love him unconditionally—just as he is—rather than judge him (as my fearful ego self) as the worst human being I had ever met or known, which I even shamelessly wrote about a while back in a post called, “My First Encounter with a Narcissist.”

Though I may never see him again—since he is somewhere unknown with cancer—my intention is to send him loving energies from my heart, and trust that they will reach his in Divine perfect timing and order.

I am now grateful that I crossed paths with my bio dad —my shadow—reflecting back to me unknown/”dark” aspects of my own shadow self that can benefit my individual and collective soul growth/evolution.

My shadow invited me to incorporate certain ways of being that I wasn’t familiar with into my Being, to include embracing the important need of being a little selfish for self at times in order to Be a whole soul (healed, integrated and balanced Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine Energy/Consciousness) in order to merge with Divine Spirit/All That Is = Trinity.

Rather than often or always selflessly giving of myself to others with hardly any healthy boundaries (a sign of excessive feminine love energy for others), I needed to work on balancing my assertive masculine energy, by creating such boundaries and unconditionally accepting and loving myself just as I am.

Likewise, my bio dad’s encounter with me was to also start healing and balancing his own masculine and feminine energies within him as well—his excessive masculine energy/unhealed ego self/wounded inner-child/part of his soul and his barely existing Divine Feminine energy within of deep understanding, intuition, insight, wisdom, empathy, compassion, forgiveness, acceptance, embrace, unconditional love, etc.

I now see with clarity that my bio dad and I helped trigger one another at the soul level so that we may begin to heal, and eventually become whole.

An Expanded Perspective of Positive Birthing from Negative

So now I have a better understanding—more than before—of why I, too, did some anal things in the past to include:

washing my hands numerous times a day
spreading several blankets on a freshly vacuumed new carpet on a daily basis while my baby daughter was in her crawl phase
walking around the corner at work and catching my Platoon Sergeant telling my Section NCOIC (Non-commissioned Officer in charge) that I was “very meticulous” while they were checking out my analysis report (while in the Army)
being called “anal” with a smile by one of my First Sergeants (while in the Army)

Note: Image on right found next to link => yogaofnomind.com (thank you)

So although there were some (ok, many) pain in the butt moments—for myself, and I have no doubt for others as well—there were moments where those anal traits were highly beneficial to me, for that particular time period.

For instance, at my first unit in Korea (Camp Essayons, specifically around 2003), I was the the only soldier who passed my petite, yet very intimidating black, female Battalion Command Sergeant Major’s (CSM) white glove barrack’s room inspection.

I was shocked at the decision, to include my female First Sergeant and other soldiers within the company, because CSM was adamant that no one was going to pass the inspection, just the way she was sure that no one would be able to fully memorize, recite and fully understand the NCO Creed in front of the entire battalion.

Now, I’m grateful that I no longer have a need to participate in such events; however, at the time, the experience helped push me to the extreme to reveal what I was capable of doing, for even something seemingly so trivial as a barracks room inspection.

Note: Image on left found next to link => imgarcade.com (thank you)

Of course, CSM’s aggressive leadership style was a role that she played in order to challenge us to push ourselves way outside of our comfort zone.

Unlike actual aggressive leaders who lead from a fear-based belief system within them (i.e., way too much ego), my former CSM was a seemingly fearless, yet, very caring and wise leader; and she empowered many of us by leading us (by example) to believe that we, too, had the potential to excel above and beyond, no matter what we did.

In addition to CSM’s ability to motivate and inspire her soldiers, she was also an astute observer who genuinely expressed concern for soldiers during challenging times.

Note: Image on right found next to link => www.pinterest.com: pinned by Rochelle Motley-Kanatzar (thank you)

In my case, throughout the majority of my stay at my first unit, I often suffered from various earthly dramas, to include a recent divorce, being away from my toddler children for almost 18 months with only two-weeks visits annually, participating in a military court procedure, etc.

Although I never expressed these sufferings to her, she just seemed to intuitively know what soldiers were going through with the information that she had gathered while talking to soldiers on a daily basis as she made her way around the small, battalion compound.

I will always remember how she made me feel—genuinely cared for, inspired, and empowered—even though I may not be able to recall all that she had said.

Note: Image on left found next to link => hhqi.wordpress.com (thank you)

During our darkest hours, when it feels like we’re drowning in hopelessness, it not only helps that Divine Spirit works through other souls to touch our hearts, but also works through us/gives us the opportunity to help our soul sisters and brothers.

After the third or fourth time I was involuntarily extended a the unit for yet, another month (which wasn’t expected to last that long), in order to participate in a court procedure that I had volunteered for, I was at one of my lowest points in life.

Then, a golden opportunity came as a blessing in disguise. While I was in the company headquarters doing some seemingly mundane paperwork, my First Sergeant brought in a young soldier who was sobbing uncontrollably.

Note: Image on right found next to link => manifestedharmony.com (thank you)

The distraught soldier wanted to prepare for her future promotion board, but she was too afraid due to her lack of confidence and very shy personality.

My First Sergeant had apparently ran into her around the barracks area while she was crying, and took it upon herself to help her (through me) rather than call her squad leader who wasn’t able to for a reason I can’t recall. Looking back, my First Sergeant more than likely intentionally chose me to mentor her in order to uplift me.

I agreed to help the petite and delicate appearing female soldier (SPC Will); granted, she was several inches taller than me (4’9″), but seemed so fragile.

SPC Will also had the eyes of the Precious Moments dolls—like my toddler daughter’s and son’s eyes right before I had left them with their father in order to attend the Army’s basic training.

Note: Image on left found next to link => www.ebay.com (thank you)

I asked SPC Will what else she would like to accomplish while practicing for the board, and she replied, “I would like to become assertive,” since she acknowledged that she was very soft-spoken and sometimes passive.

I then asked her if she was willing to do whatever it takes, and basically not give up, and she agreed with much enthusiasm.

So we studied together, practiced speaking assertively, clearly and with much volume, worked on perfecting her uniform and shoes, and everything else it took to to achieve a successful board performance.

Note: Image on right found next to link => www.posternation.com (thank you)

Since there were limited options as to where we were able to prepare for her board, I chose whatever location that was available.

To my great surprise, one day, while practicing inside the post chapel, SPC Will volunteered to do push ups for every time I had to tell her, “Do it again, and this time much more confidently and louder” while quizing her on various topics.

Even while practicing outside, though she was initially nervous about being assertive in public, she put forth much effort to overcome her fear.

Note: Image on left found next to link => www.brainyquote.com (thank you)

After much courage, will power, determination, dedication, inner-strength, and persistence/faith, it was time for SPC Will to appear before her promotion board; and the board members would include our “bad-ass” First Sergeant, as well as our “intimidating” CSM.

Although we had practiced much, I was still a little concerned that SPC Will might experience a nervous break down the last minute and cry profusely; and that’s when the magic show began.

SPC Will knocked on the door before entering the board room, and all the board members and I looked at one another as though we had just heard sudden thunder.

I had never ever heard SPC Will knock so hard during practice so I didn’t think she had it in her.

Note: Image on right found next to link => www.appszoom.com (thank you)

After being told to enter by CSM, SPC Will strode in with such smooth yet bold steps, and then confidently and very loudly reported to the board members as though she owned the place.

The intensity of her sharp and professional facing movements, her completely transformed demeanor, and very present and powerful voice shocked everyone in the room, to include myself; and CSM even acted as though she was about to fall out of her chair (she had a great sense of humor too).

After the board, CSM asked her, “What happened to the SPC Will that I could barely even hear during the room inspection, even though I was standing right next to her?”

Note: Image on left found next to link => www.fanpop.com (thank you)

SPC Will replied that she was an assertive version of herself; and when CSM asked her if I had helped her to achieve that state (she more than likely asked her that to uplift me), she replied that I had made her wish come true.

I then added that SPC Will had put a lot of effort and work into preparing for the board, and even shared the “push-ups” story in the church; everyone smiled.

At that moment, I felt so grateful that I cried silently inside. I was so happy for SPC Will who deserved every shining, glorious moment. She was such a great soldier/person/soul with a lot of heart. I was also convinced that her strong faith in God was a key factor in her success.

Note: Image on right found next to link => www.libraryofquotes.com (thank you)

As a matter of fact, I now realize that her powerful presence was due to her willingness to Be fully present in those Moments of Now; hence, Being her mighty I AM Divine Presence (Trinity: God, Goddess and Divine Spirit/All That Is) within her (although neither one of us knew this at the time).

She had tuned into a Moment of Now (a parallel reality) that matched her higher vibrational frequency where her already healed, integrated and balanced Divine Masculine aspect of her merged soul/Trinity stepped in with amazing assertiveness balanced with an openness to fearlessly step into the unknown as her Divine Feminine Energy/Consciousness.

Note: Image on left found next to link => www.ilikewallpaper.net (thank you)

Looking back, I also realize, that in the midst of much darkness, there is always the presence of light (angelic souls of All That Is)—if we pay attention—that’s ready to ignite or be ignited by one another, even as disguised “enemies.”

Whether it was caring and intelligent First Sergeant, initially hopeless yet big-hearted SPC Will, initially depressed yet willing me, or inspiring and empowering Command Sergeant Major, we all gave one another an opportunity to expand our hearts, rise above the illusions of darkness and fear, and increase out faith from gently touching to miraculous and memorable moments/Divine interventions of Life.

Note: Image on right found next to link => geoffmcdonald.com (thank you)

Almost a decade later, SPC Will surprised me with her Facebook “friend request” and her sharing the fact that she had searched for me for a long time. She told me that she would never forget what I did for her, and I was deeply touched, because it was unexpected.

Although I no longer participate in Facebook due to one too many earthly dramas and a lack of meaningful interactions in general (ultimately stemming from my own negativity within that needs to be transmuted and healed), heart of gold SPC Will will forever remain in my heart as a brilliant star that can be seen from a great distance.

Before I left that unit, I gave my CSM a “thank you” card because of all that she did as a leader from her heart. After she thanked me with a soft smile, she uplifted me with her usual comforting and gentle words—“Go continue to do what you do best” followed by a wink. A part of her left with me that day, and she, like SPC Will and some others, will forever remain in my treasure box collection (Heart) of amazing souls.

Choosing to Be Balance of Dark and Light Aspects of Self

This frowned upon perfectionism/analism that my bio dad, me or anybody else strove for actually helped us to accomplish certain things above and beyond, and seemingly trivial events such as white glove room inspections was just a lighted match to help ignite the fire within the soul.

Granted, perfectionism/analism can also have a major downside, to include but not limited to becoming a workaholic, being difficult to satisfy, using a lot of unnecssary time, etc.

I trust that balance is key; so rather than completely eliminating a shadow aspect of ourselves that has great potential to leap us forward, we can embrace it and use it for the greatest benefit of self and others by following our discerning Mind/loving Heart.

3 Reasons to Embrace Your Shadow Self (especially for introverts)
Embracing Your Shadow

Profound Unconditional Love for Self and Others

I realized that some of my biological father’s fear-based beliefs/negative energies were passed down to me, to include selective germaphobia and the need for perfectionism.

But now that I’m more aware of it, I can choose—through my intentions—to change whatever no longer serves me; and if it does serve my individual and collective soul growth—regardless of what society says—I will embrace it.

Note: Image on right found next to link => www.universal-link-888.com (thank you) and used to add quote with canva.com

Afterall, how can we experience (and then know) accepting and loving ourselves unconditionally, if we only experience the so-called “good,” “attractive,” and “acceptable” aspects of us?

It’s too easy to love ourselves and others if we (or they) only have great qualities, traits and characteristics. Where’s the challenge in that?

Like Jesus once taught, it’s easy to love those who love us.

We can only experience a profound level of unconditional love when we’re faced with the challenge of truly loving ourselves and those who our judgmental and fearful ego self perceives as our “enemies,” who are merely disguised blessings/soul brothers and sisters unconsciously acting like enemies to help trigger hurtful energies stored deep within our DNA; hence, giving us opportunities to release them (part of the Divine Plan).

By owning aspects of our shadow self, and embracing them, we can begin to heal and integrate all aspects of our soul so that we can Be a Balanced Soul (Divine Feminine/Heart and Divine Masculine/Higher Mind energies/consciousness) merged with Divine Spirit/All That Is.

Note: Image on left found next to link => mynzah.com (thank you)

Responding as Divine Presence Within

Now, whenever I react to something or someone, I can sense myself being my fearful ego self, and at the same time feeling The Observer/my Divine Presence within me quietly watching without judgment. It’s interesting.

Immediately afterwards, I can feel my ego self shrinking as though it had just realized how silly it was to react with the lower mind rather than respond from the higher open Mind/loving Heart.

The more we practice self-awareness, along with unconditional acceptance and unconditional love for ourselves and others, the closer we can fully Be who we truly are, which is our Divinity within us.

In no time, rather than reacting to people, things and situations, we’ll be able to respond to them from a higher state of consciousness/higher vibrational frequency/from our Mind/Heart with balance and unconditional love.

Continuing Park Journey and Practicing Being Present

Once my family and I passed the entrance point of the park, and I noticed the unique smell of the dampened park from the rain the day prior, I was able to bounce back to my good mood, and I thanked Mother Earth/Gaia/Shakti—to include all the mature green trees, fresh grass, colorful flowers, flowering cacti, and various creatures—for helping me to raise my vibrational frequency, which enabled me to shift into a matching parallel reality.

I then called upon the frequency of Light/aka Pillar of Light—learned (as a human being)/remembered (as a soul) from the book, Brings of the Dawn: Teachings from the Pleiadians.

I thanked Father Sky/Great Central Sun/Prime Creator for sending higher frequencies of Light and Love from beyond the clear blue sky and sparkling sun, and Gaia for helping me to ground the higher energies from above, as well as channel it through me to others around me.

Note: Image on left found next to link => wallpaperscraft.com (thank you)

While walking, I remembered to practice deep breathing—another way to receive higher energies through the in-breath, and then ground them/share them with others through the out-breath.

I learned/remembered from the book, We The Arcturians, that deep breathing allows us to Be who we truly are—our essence/unconditional love/Divine Presence—because there’s no room for any fear energies in that state. The Pleiadians highly recommend deep breathing exercises as well.

Note: Image on right above found next to link => www.examiner.com (thank you)

Discovering What Resonates with True Self

I noticed that I love doing deep breathing exercises while being surrounded by nature—whether at the park or while doing interval runs around my neighborhood—because it’s effortless, another sign that it’s in alignment with my soul.

However, I don’t enjoy doing them at home as much. One of my daily intention statements include moving to another warm and cool state where there’s a lot of greenery, but not an overload of rain, and to live walking distance from a breathtaking local or state park.

Note: Image on right above found next to link => pocketrangerblog.com (thank you)

Although I can enjoy the city life, as well as a pure white snowy landscape, I prefer visiting these areas every now and then rather than reside in them.

I’ve recently learned/remembered to enjoy peace and quiet (to include silence and stillness), and I don’t miss freezing my ass off for long periods of time like I did during field exercises up in the frigid mountains while in the Army.

Note: Image on left found next to link => www.izi-travel.com (thank you)

So, my husband and I narrowed it down to Oregon, since I also heard it was beautiful there (from reliable sources), and I’ve seen photo images of various areas within.

I’m keeping my options open though just in case my soul has a better idea—that’s highly beneficial for my individual and collective soul growth/evolution—from its Higher Mind that can see above the valley (spiritual perspective), unlike the ego self’s lower mind that can only see within the valley (earthly perspective of fear and illusions), a combination of information I learned from fascinating Bashar, channeled through Darryl Anka, as well as from the book, We, The Arcturians.

One of the Hawaiian islands sounds nice as well, especially the Big Island, which I heard from a few of my coworkers at the time that it’s the most beautiful of all the Hawaiian islands (image on left).

I did enjoy a few years at Oahu during one of my tours in the Army, but I realized even then, that as much as I loved the seemingly perfect weather and clear blue beaches there, I missed being in a much larger area where I have so much more to explore (e.g., local and state nature parks), and my options are not limited.

That’s another thing that I learned/remembered about myself—I don’t like to be limited in any way, more now than ever before, which made me wonder how I managed to stay in the military for as long as I did (a little over a decade).

Note: Image on left found next to link => gloholiday.com (thank you)

One thing’s for sure, ever since I got out, I have no regrets, just various memories—ranging from great to not so great—and life lessons/wisdom learned and treasured.

I became more free after leaving the military, which seemed ironic to me back then because I was brainwashed into believing many half-truths and lies, to include the false belief that we must earn our freedom.

I’ve learned that there are apparently those, especially within the government and military, who are experts at mixing persuasive truths with lies in order to confuse those who only operate at the ego self’s lower mind level—since it’s easy to manipulate due to it functioning very logically; thus, unable to discern from a Higher Mind/and psychically sense from the Heart, the truth.

Note: Image on right above found next to link => www.forbestravelguide.com (thank you)

I now realize that true freedom is part of our essence/our birthright, and not something that we have to earn by participating in the seemingly never-ending, continuous battles, occupations, interventions, and/or wars, like the U.S. has since 1775.

I, like many others, have asked myself, “What is seriously ‘wrong’ with this picture of a country having the need to continuously put up defense walls that stem from much fear, and that has a need to fight, injure and kill so many people throughout the world—for almost 240 years—in the name of freedom and under the guise of humanity’s superhero?

It reminds me of how millions of people were murdered back in the day in the name of God, through so-called “holy” wars and burning of anyone who dared to seek their own truth within (to include witch hunts), so that the so-called “righteous” people/God’s chosen people can live, while countless others suffered horrendously and/or died.

Not liking limitations lets me know that limitations itself doesn’t resonate with my soul/my God, Goddess and Divine SPirit/All That Is within, which makes sense since All That Is is unlimited.

Arizona, another one of my past duty stations, was nice too, but I don’t have an interest in living there again because the area I was in was very hot.

It was dry heat that dried out my skin no matter how much moisturizer I used, and it also didn’t allow me to use contact lenses while running as well.

However, I definitely plan on visiting Sedona one day, where I look forward to experiencing the beautiful scenery and high energies from its vortex.

Regardless of where I currently am, or where I’ll end up, I plan on making the very best of it—as if I already have all the peace, happiness and abundance that I need in every Moment of Now—which is trusting Divinity within/having faith.

By first experiencing all the places (to include military organization) that either don’t resonate with me, or only somewhat resonates with me, I’m that much closer to an area that highly resonates with me.

This also parallels to us learning/remembering who we truly are by first experiencing everything that we’re truly not through other soul brothers and sisters, situations, things, ideas, beliefs, events, etc.

For instance, if someone being rude (as their fearful ego self) doesn’t resonate with us, we realize that us choosing not to be rude to others (since it doesn’t feel good on the receiving end) is who we truly are (our loving Divine Presence within).

Another Test to Transmute the Lower Mind

As we continued to journey on our nature walk, I noticed that there were a lot of mosquitoes flying around due to the land’s wetness.

I found myself trying to shoo them away whenever they flew in the vicinity of me or my dog.

My slightly irritated state was enough to drop my vibrational frequency to the point where I tuned into a parallel reality that matched my state of being (not Being).

I felt myself (my fearful ego self/not fully healed male energy/still wounded inner-child) no longer enjoying the Moment of Now, although my heart (my feminine energy/my free-spirited fearless self) reminded me not to resist the mosquitoes.

I recalled at that moment the one time where I telepathically communicated to a few mosquitoes—who flew into our car that I was sitting in (parked next to a large tree)—to take what they needed after initially swatting at them a few times and then remembering Neale Donald Walsch’s quote from one of his books, “what we resist persists” and that what we allow seemingly disappears.

My transmuted fear energy state of being into unconditional love energy state of Being caused them to miraculously fly away.

The image (on right above) reminded me of the violet flame mantra—“I am a being of Violet Fire. I am the purity God desires”—that I forgot to use at the park.

For an elaboration of the insight that I gained from this image, and how I perceive it relating to the Violet Flame mantra, click on post, “Violet Flame Transmuting Unhealed Ego Self/Masculine Energy/Wounded Inner-Child.”

After recalling the miraculous moment, I was able to somewhat go with the flow, but I still felt a bit paranoid. That tiny degree of paranoia was enough to keep me in a less pleasant parallel reality.

Within minutes while walking and not Being fully present, I felt a sharp, needle-like bite on my upper right arm, to which my body instantly reacted to by slapping the pricked location.

It was a larger than average mosquito, and the small drop of blood it had taken out of me was returned to me on my hand, which I wiped off on my shorts.

Note: Image on left found next to link => www.shiftedreality.com (thank you)

I then realized that had I lost that drop of blood, it wouldn’t have even made a little dent in my life, besides minor skin irritations and swelling (since I have sensitive skin).

But for the unfortunate mosquito, his or her need for my blood—and its attempt to obtain it—completely and instantaneously transformed his energetic state of being from a once living form, to a formless state of consciousness through death.

Rather than feeling guilty for putting an end to its already short life—something I’m striving to avoid doing to insects, bugs, and other living creatures at all costs because I’m practicing to see with clarity the spark of Divine Spirit within all of Life—I wished his tiny and free spirit well.

I realized that being distracted and irritated by the mosquitoes or tornado of gnats was due to my judgment about them—that they had the power to bother or harm me in some way, shape or form. My fear energy attracted them to me.

Note: Image on right above found next to link => www.extension.umn.edu (thank you)

So, I changed my lower mind’s thought in order to create a positive feeling. My intention was to be able to see these unloved creatures of society through the eyes of Cosmic Love, which embraces everything in Life.

In order to do so, I chose to Be My Divine Presence within me by Being present in the Moment of Now…fully aware of Life around me as it simply is, and accepting the so-called “good” and “bad” from a neutral and balanced standpoint.

Moments later, to my great surprise, the mosquitoes were nowhere to be found.

I silently thanked the cool breeze—Life working for me, rather than against me, since I chose to go with the flow and raise my vibrational frequency—that seemed to fly in like superman and envelop my entire body with its invisible, yet, protective covering. 🙂

Snake Synchronicity

Moments later, my husband and I noticed a few deer on the right side of us, somewhat camouflaged within the mini forest. After some deep eye contact and sending them a “Namaste” and loving energies, we continued on our path.

While walking and enjoying the harmonious balance of the steady humming cicadas with the sporadic chirping of birds, my husband and I noticed a squirrel taking its precious time walking across a thick tree branch.

They’re usually moving too fast to admire for a moment, and I thought it was cute that my husband enjoyed that moment; he absolutely loves squirrels, and I sensed it was due to one of the few fond memories he has of his nearly absent biological father as a kid.

Once, when my husband was a kid, his father made a trail of nuts in order to lure a squirrel into the house; and sure enough it worked! I could tell that the precious moment was, and still is, very dear to my husband’s heart. 🙂

Note: Image on left found next to link => www.jokeroo.com (thank you). This image was too adorable to pass by. 🙂

During one moment, while continuing on our path that was filled with silence and peace, a biker zoomed past us after giving us a verbal heads up, and then briefly turned his head around shouted, “Watch out for the snake on the sidewalk!”

I shouted back, “Thank you!” and then immediately turned my attention to the small snake that we had walked past with a few steps.

It was my first close observation of a snake that wasn’t behind a glass container of a zoo, or part of a snake aquarium–like the python that just hangs on your neck with very little motion.

Note: Image on right above found next to link =>thesquirrelnutwork.wordpress.com (thank you)

The last time I recall being around a live snake was when I was around five years old. I very briefly saw a baby snake quickly slither into a pile of leaves because this little kid shouted, “Snake!” and it happened somewhere in a wooded area. I don’t remember being scared, but rather, curious and excited.

I couldn’t believe I had missed noticing the snake (which wasn’t a baby snake) when I usually notice even the smallest ant, rollie pollie, or beetle slowly walking by on the sidewalk; hence, avoiding to step on them.

Although a tiny part of me (my lower and fearful mind conditioned by society) was afraid that it might strike at me despite it being more than likely a garden snake or something harmless like it, the majority of me (my heart) felt excited! 🙂

Note: Image on left found next to link => vandanarichhealing.com (thank you)

As I knelt down and was about less than a foot way from it, I observed its alert eyes staring right at me, and its bright red tongue with its jet-black fork-like tip teasing me—or more accurately, sensing my vibes.

The image on right is spot on with its cute facial appearance, but the skin color and pattern was closer to the garter snake image above. ^_^

I silently communicated a “Namaste,” and just enjoyed its lively and fearless presence.

When I heard people approaching on bikes, I gave them a heads up that there was a snake on the sidewalk so that they wouldn’t accidentally run over it, or get startled if they noticed it.

As soon as they stopped their bikes to see, and started walking towards the snake, it rapidly slithered into the wooded areas. I wondered why it suddenly became startled; perhaps more than three beings (my husband, dog and I) was too many giants for the snake to deal with at one time?

Note: Image on right found next to link => spiders-n-stuff.blogspot.com (thank you)

The excitement that I had felt wasn’t so much because I had a simple encounter with a snake, but rather, what it symbolized.

When I was kid, I believe my excitement stemmed from intuitively sensing the mystical energies of the snake, since children have a tendency to be more open and sensitive to energies around them.

When I was in elementary school, at times, when I was home alone and wanted to entertain myself, I would raise one of my hands in the air, right in front of me, and look at them. I was so fascinated with my almost transparent aura around my fingers, which was about 1-2 mm thick.

Note: Image on left found next to link => www.crystalsandreikihealing.com (thank you)

Of course, back then, I didn’t know what auras were; I just thought everyone was able to see what I saw, and I never thought to share my experience with anyone either. In addition, I never heard anyone else talk about it.

As an adult in my late thirties, after learning about and forming an interest in seeing auras, I tried to play with my hands again, but it was no longer effortless again. A couple of times I seemed to barely catch a glimpse of what I had experienced as a child, but nothing more than that.

Note: Image on right found next to link =>listverse.com (thank you)

I have a feeling that I had lost my ability to see auras naturally due my lack or absence of Being present in the Moment of Now throughout the majority of my egos self’s busy-body life in the past.

The conditioning of society probably played a part as well, to include the nonacceptance, and even mockery, of those who believe in anything that can’t be perceived by the average human being.

Science as well as the mystical experiences of a large number of people reveal more throughout time that countless things exist beyond what our five, basic senses can perceive.

Note: Image on left found next to link => micro.cibermitanios.com.ar (thank you)

As soon as I saw the snake, I instantly and intuitively sensed that it was another snake synchronicity—the first one being a series of various snake dreams, and then later dreams about the Mother aspect of the Divine Feminine, the white snake dream (“Further Expanding Mind/Heart with White Snake Dream“), and then the encounter with a live snake, which I later found out (after googling) was a garter snake.

From that moment on, I felt even more confident with Being in my alignment with my Divinity within (my faith grew); and sure enough, my outer reality started to reflect my inner reality.

While holding my husband’s hand and sun gazing (something I’ve developed into a habit) for a few minutes, I noticed that it was effortless.

I also noticed a light pink aura around the sun, which has been happening more often lately, and which also informs me that the timing is perfect for sun gazing, and to receive higher frequencies of Light and Love through my very sensitive eyes.

I’ve seen the “pink” sun many times, and if I recall correctly, I also listened to a message from our Galactic Family of Light about the pink sun. Recently, I found out that it’s related to our Higher Heart.

Sometimes I need to squint at an extremely bright yellowish white sun, so I then know not to continue with sun gazing/force it; otherwise, I may damage my eyesight.

Deer Synchronicity

On our way back to where we had started, after reaching the halfway 1.5 mile marker, we saw a deer a few feet in front of us slowly sneaking, and then sprinting it ways across the path.

We’ve seen plenty of deer at the park, but we rarely get to witness ones move across the path, more than likely because there’s usually a lot of bikers, people and dogs.

My husband and I both agreed that had we been a second or so late, we would’ve missed the moment. When it happened again minutes later with another deer crossing the path, I became excited.

By the time we arrived at a small bridge, before our entrance/exit of the park, we noticed a family of deer about 15-20 feet in front of us slowly crossing a dry creek, and I couldn’t believe the magic of synchronicity!

It’s not just with angel numbers (e.g., 10:10, 11:11, 12:12, 11-99, 111-999, 2222-9999, palindrome numbers like 1221, etc.), people, events and snakes, but with deer as well!

An Experience of a True Meaning of Being Presence

At the beginning of our journey into the park, I wondered why I had experienced so-called “negative” moments when I had stated right before entering the park that my intention was to fully Be Presence.

I now realize that fully Being Presence includes embracing all of Life exactly the way it shows up in every Moment of Now, and not just enjoying what appears to be “good” moments on the surface like the heavenly blue sky, sunshine and butterflies. 😉

Note: Image on right found next to link => thespiritscience.net (thank you) and used to add my personal intention with canva.com

The various synchronicities—both “positive” and “negative”— that I’ve been experiencing and have been aware of ever since I medically retired from the Army in 2011 have all been signs that I was on the “right” path for my individual and collective soul growth/evolution.

The so-called “negative” synchronicities have taught me valuable life lessons/wisdom, especially acceptance of what is in every Moment of Now, and the power of our thoughts/emotions—what not to think about (negative thoughts) habitually, repeatedly and with strong negative emotion attached to the negative thoughts since we end up tuning into a matching “negative” physical reality.

Note: Image on left found next to link => www.soundsofsirius.com (thank you)

The so-called “positive” synchronicities have taught me the following:

somebody’s trying to communicate something to me…hmmm
to pay more attention
strange yet intriguing things happen sometimes in series that the lower mind may not be able to comprehend, but the heart recognizes as highly significant (e.g., 11:11 phenomenon and daily and frequent angel numbers, developing of certain psychic abilities, experiencing unusual and even incredible experiences during an awake state, vivid life-like dreams of parallel realities and other dimensions/both dark and light worlds, etc.)
to go deeper within myself and to change within, especially during much solitude time where we can reflect, ponder, wonder, meditate, gain insight, etc. in order to better understand ourselves and others
to transmute fear energy
encouraged me to have faith in myself and my Divinity within with much determination, persistence, courage, inner-strength, discipline, vision, and resilience
to accept and love myself unconditionally so that I may fully accept and love others unconditionally as well
to trust my self all extensions of Divinity within me (especially my intuition) and the process of Life knowing that everything happens in Divine perfect timing and Divine perfect order for the highest benefit for my individual and collective soul growth/evolution
that I’m in alignment with my Divinity within me
to continue to follow my path of excitement which will cause me to do things effortlessly (something I learned from Bashar, channeled through Darryl Anka, as well as the Pleiadians)
to take action or non-action (rest and recovery) upon following signs, symbols, inner-guidance, feelings and body signals
to continue to Be who I truly am/Divine Presence in every Moment of Now with much gratitude and appreciation for all of Life.
