Right now, energetically, everything is in support of our awakening, even if it doesn’t seem like it. All the discord in the world serves the purpose of reminding us that Peace is a choice. If we succumb to judgmental thoughts we’ll feel afraid and worried and then we’re going to miss out on the higher vibrational choices that would be available to us if we could maintain our Peace.

In our spiritual waking up journey there are times when it feels like we’re stuck in a quagmire. It can feel like a whirlpool that keeps us in the spin cycle. I’m very familiar with it. I used to experience it again and again. This pattern of cycling through the same patterns again and again is familiar to everyone.

GOOD NEWS: you don’t have to figure out how to get out of it in order to break free of it.
You just have to be willing to get out of it in order to find the way out.

It’s as if there is a doorway, or a gateway, that’s ALWAYS available to us, but we can’t see it until we’re genuinely willing to surrender the attachment to playing small and living in lack and limitation. If we’re complaining, we’re not willing.

How do you unhook the attachment to playing small and living in lack and limitation? Unhook the cause of it.

That’s right. Unhook the root cause of the mental pattern that keeps you stuck in the spin cycle, in the whirlpool, in the quagmire.

What IS the root cause?

It’s simply these beliefs:

Someone is better than or less than you.

If you’re a dedicated spiritual student then by now you know, at least on an intellectual level, that there is a unity of all life. If all is one, is it even possible for anyone to be better than or less than you? No. Of course not. That’s a fantasy. We’re one. We’re united.

Does it seem impossible to give up a belief in better than and less than?
If you believe it, then it will appear to be true for you and it will be the cause of your suffering, and the cause of your belief in lack and limitation.
It’s just a belief and no matter how much you invest in it, it will never be true.
No matter how little you invest in it, it will always cause suffering.

Call upon the angelic realm, the ascended masters, the ancestors, call upon the Company of Heaven that are always there to support you if you will allow yourself to be supported. Don’t ask for stuff in the material world. Ask for willingness, ask for the strength to see clearly, to choose Love.

The key is to surrender and be truly willing.
Surrender the heavy lifting of HOW to figure it out to the Higher Holy Spirit Self. ALLOW your healing. Make yourself a welcome, ready and receptive place for it.

If you start to wonder how it’s going to happen, say to yourself “How is not my problem. I choose to allow my. I choose Love now.”

As soon as you are truly, genuinely willing to give up the right to your attack thoughts, the light has come and you will begin to see the gateway, the way out of stuckness. It’s there, it’s always there. When we choose to block the light of Love in our awareness by cherishing our thoughts of lack and attack then we cannot see clearly.

Your willingness to depend on a higher intelligence than the one that made you miserable, is all that is required.

Depend on your spirit, the great I AM. Start listening and following.
Be obedient to Love’s impulse in you.
Love doesn’t need anything.
Love is never manipulative or self-serving, ever.
Love IS everything.
Love doesn’t know lack.

The end of lack is when we’re fully willing to stop attacking and simply BE Love. THEN, the power of Love operates in us and we’re able to clearly perceive the way out of the quagmire we made for ourselves.
When we’re BEING the Love, living the Love, then we’re a vibrational match for the gateway to a higher possibility and we’ll have the strength to choose it, and it won’t take much.

Attack thoughts weaken us in ALL ways.
Love strengthens us ALWAYS.

You can do this out of Self-Love to move to a higher vibration right now:
Make a list of 100 ways to be kind and loving to yourself.
Make a list of 100 ways that you are unkind and unloving to yourself.
Start replacing the unkind with the kind in your daily choices today. Choose Love.
Love strengthens you always.

You don’t have to make yourself stop doing doing the negative habits – that can be really hard. Instead, replace the unloving with loving and then you’re moving at the speed of light before you know it! Try it! It works!

When we have a strong practice of trust, it builds faith and releases worry and anxiety.
