Bringing Light Into Darkness (Now more than ever)

Many years ago, I worked for a small Church.  One night I dreamed that I was outside the Church building in the dark, handing out fliers for our classes. Inside the Church, in the brightly lit staff room, was my co-worker, sitting on the floor with two students.

It pretty much sums up my role in life. I never get to be inside the place of light, I'm always outside telling people about it.

Lightbringers are her to bring Light, to carry the message that there is Light, which means we're always venturing into the darkness.

It happens in relationships, too. They get involved with someone and it's all hearts and flowers, then dark things come to the surface. It happens in jobs, they start working somewhere and corruption surfaces. Not because they found it, but their higher vibration shines light that makes darkness evident.

Someone emailed me the night of the US election, "where's my Parallel Universe now???"  Because in my Meetups I talk about how we have infinite parallel universes and you can change your present experience at any time by stepping into one where things are unfolding in your favor. It's as simple as changing lanes on the freeway.

So I've been reflecting on why I'm in this universe, which appears really traumatic and suckky for the world, rather than one that's more fun and empowering for all.

Because I'm a frigging lightbringer and of course I end up in dark places.

My message to everyone is, not just that there is light, but that you ARE light. You *are* the greater light of Consciousness. There is more Consciousness in the world than every before. Our physical bodies are capable of holding a higher vibration now, we can be more embodied as Consciousness.

This is why it seems that there's greater darkness, because in actuality there's greater Light. It seems like darkness, unconsciousness, corruption, demagogues, fascists, and dictators are gaining power but those patterns are in the process of dissipating.

Yeah, really?? Or are we heading into another 1930's with the rise of Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, and Tojo?

It seems that way, and the difference now is that there's greater Light. We, individually, are more empowered than ever before. And our ability to communicate with each other is better than ever before. Arab Spring was started by a Tunisian street vendor setting himself on fire, but it was spread by Twitter. Which lead to the collapse of long standing dictatorships throughout the Middle East.

We may feel powerless, but we're not.

We may not all be Lightbringers, blazing trails in the darkness. Our life purpose for some of us may be anchors or stabilizers (creating a container for the new energy to come into form). There are many expressions of Consciousness in this world.

And we are each Light. As we stand in our Light, the world becomes brighter. Darkness disappears in full daylight.

Change can happen quickly nowadays. We can transform reality instantaneously. Let's do so now, and not wait to create an American Spring.

Now more than ever, your unique Light is needed on the planet. Be authentically yourself. Express your uniqueness into the world.

Your light joins our lights and collectively we accelerate the evolution of Consciousness. Try this for the next 7 days and see what happens.!

I was just in the city where I was born, part of a mission to scatter my moms ashes to all the places where she lived.

I was so focused on other things, like my parents and my older brothers living there, that it didn't occur to me that it was my birthplace, until I was on the train to the airport.

Why did I create being born in West Berlin, during the Cold War,  where it was my Dad's job to talk people into defecting?

I'm a lightbringer. And lightbringer are destined to go into dark places. Makes sense I would start I one.

So I tuned into myself as an infant, and was surprised (don't know why) to sense this big ball of light.

All babies are bright lights. Just look at 'em, they are pure energy, pure joy, pure wonder. They are Consciousness, rediscovering the world.

So I tuned into my baby Self and felt that energy within me.  I felt how darkened and crusty and old I have become.  Years of accumulated pictures and concepts and experiences. Reclaiming my baby self, bringing that new energy within, was like filling the tanks with high octane gas.

This is who we really are. We are bright lights, bundles of joy. Our essence is wonder, happiness, curiosity, love.  That never goes away. It just gets covered over.

We can access our inner infant and use the energy to heal and renew ourselves. We can egain our awareness of why we are here, and what our purpose is.

It's pretty simple. You can sit quietly, with your eyes closed, and inwardly imagine your baby self. Feel the energy you were when you first got here.  See in your mind, your bright eyes and toothless smile.

Bring that awareness into your center and let it expand outward, filling up your body and surrounding you.

Let the years of accumulated denser energy dissolve, disintegrate, dissipate.  Bring in your awareness as Consciousness. Let yourself know why you are here. The answer may be very simple, a feeling or an image.

Sit with this.

Do this for the next 7 days. You can do this once, or any number of times. You may get instantaneous insight, or increasing Knowingness over the week. You can just let your light shine and clear any darkness or you can deliberately direct it to places You want to dissolve.

Try this for the next week and see what happens,

Light in the Darkness

The holiday season holds many memories for folks, not all of them warm and cheery.  This time last year I was visiting DC, recording my father's life stories in his final month on hospice.  The year before I was midwifing my mother on her way out of the body.  Ten years ago a loved one was hit by a car, which propelled me through intense grief, as well as intense learning about the reality of life beyond death.

My own storyline has had bleak chapters for this time of year.  Times, as a single parent so poverty stricken that my kids only gifts came from the food bank.  Or when a loved one suffering from an illness went missing for 3 days the week before Christmas.

As we (in the Northern Hemisphere) are heading towards the shortest day of the year, it's helpful to remember that there is always light in the darkness.  Even in the darkest night, the sun is still shining somewhere.

Things seem dark and painful when we view them as our body-personalities.  As a body-personality, I lost both parents last year (and a dog, and a house).  As a body-personality, I had stories of being poor, frightened, or abandoned.  When I step back and see things as Consciousness, it's an entirely different experience.

I midwifed both parents out of body last year.  I held space for the two beings, who played the roles of my parents, to transition back to Spirit.  I also held space for my dog to do so (as I have for many pets in the past).  I released my house on Vashon to step into new opportunities in a new city.  As Consciousness, joyous and unlimited, I've created experiences of contraction and expansion.

I can assure my body that we've lived through these things, that we know how to get through anything that may come up.  I can comfort my body by appreciating how great things are now and realizing that 'it does get better'.  Our house in Tacoma is twice as big (and half as expensive) as the one on Vashon.  My parents are still here, I feel them rather than see them, they're easier to access than when they were in body.  All our pets still exist, too, young and energetic and happy with no litter boxes to clean or poop to scoop!

It's my purpose as a Being of Light, as a natural Lightbringer, to shine light in the darkness.  It illuminates the shadows so we can them.  Light is always accessible, whether we can feel it or not.  

So if you're feeling bogged down, breathe deep and feel Consciousness within you and around you.  Mentally step up and out of the morphic field of doom and gloom.  Imagine stepping through the door where things are lighter and brighter.  Anything and everything you need is available to you.  Allow the energy of it, love, prosperity, warm, plenty, to surround you and infuse you.

Do this continually for the next 7 days and it will transform your life!
