One of my clients wrote this very intriguing question and I’m sure he is not the only one wondering about it.  I have asked my guidance this very same question in the past so read to the bottom and fine out their answer.

“I have been thinking alot about the accountability topic where I feel I must “heal the world”.  I studied in a Taoist temple for seven years, studying the Tao te Ching (Dao de Jing).  They emphasized “noninterference” as the number one emphasized principle in Daoism.  You can see it throughout the many poems of the Dao de Jing.  So when a hurricane struck, members at the temple were saying it was against Daoist principle to go provide help for those suffering.  And when people got sick, the only people it was ok to help was those who were either paying us money for our livelihood, or else someone close to us whose health for better or worse affects us too because of our feelings for them (family, close friends, etc.).  

Then someone pointed out to me that people who are low in their emotions get down to the apathy level where they believe that there is nothing that they can do for themselves or for others.  The lower they are emotionally, the less they can seem to get anything done, and they leave the power up to the top of the pyramid.  That is why dictators in government rule by suppressing people and making them feel powerless over their own lives.  It’s also why news on television and radio are such powerful tools to keep people in line.  

But then we find that we can do something to help ourselves and to help society.  Once we start to even suggest this, people who are low in their emotional levels start to get very uneasy and agitated, and bring havoc to those who are more positive and say that there is something that we CAN do about human suffering and oppression. 

So its a big topic for me.  I am still working on figuring it out because I know that something can be done.  You have a career around helping people, and no doubt you are getting something done.  So how do I detach myself, and let things happen, and yet do my part in it? I still do not know how to do seemingly opposing things.”

What a fantastic question!  Here’s what my guidance had to say about it: ”This reality (illusion) is a collaboration of all actors playing their parts and its success is measured by the degree to which each member is inspired and devoted in his or her contribution.” 

What this means is – fully engage in whatever you are inspired to do, no more, no less. Now here’s the trick to living in duality; can you fully engage in whatever degree of accountability you are inspired to do and still stay unattached to the outcome knowing everyone else is also playing their role?  You may desire the experience of “healing the world” and derive great joy in helping another raise their vibrations above apathy as you said.  In order for you to have that experience, someone has to play the role of being in apathy so that you can rescue them. The illusion is successful (actually, can’t be anything but successful ever – period).

Fully engage in life and champion the causes that inspire you. Metaphysically speaking, there is no such thing as accountability!  There is ONLY experience.

You never know how the celestial realm will help out – sometimes it can really bring a chuckle. You’ll love this story from one of my readers. The main thing to remember is just to ask!

“I really feel changed by that day when your book Hiring the Heavens came into my life.   I have a great jewelry story for you….   I’ll try to make it quick by saying that after I noticed a very special diamond ring was off my finger, I tore the house apart before remembering to ask for help.  I asked, and was in the middle of writing it down in a journal.. when I stretched my legs out and came back with it on my toe!!!  I swear I had looked under that coffee table.. but…

Thanks so much. Patrizia”

I received a wonderful email from a reader who wanted to share this uplifting news so you can see that the heavenly hires are always ready to help. Here’s what she wrote;

“I needed a new car so I hired a celestial car buying committee (from the book Hiring the Heavens) to help me get just the perfect one – a convertible to enjoy a Florida lifestyle. 

It was the most amazing miracle. I went to buy a different car (white) but the car in the picture below showed up for me instead. It was exactly what I wanted, as my committee knew, that I really wanted a red convertible.  They even got me lost on the way there so that car would have time to come in and be put out for sale. It had been on the lot maybe 4 hours.

As you can see, they knocked themselves out!! 

Thank you so much for your book.  Reba”

Great car!

I am a Natural Health Practitioner and many of my clients come to me frustrated with the results they have received from conventional medicine. Fortunately the type of client I attract is one who feels their health and well-being is their responsibility and are searching for answers to help their body do the healing, which by the way, is the ONLY one way healing takes place. Healing can be facilitated by others but ultimately your body has to do the healing.

But then there are some clients that lament about the side effects they are experiencing from the medications that have been prescribed by their doctor and feel they “have to” follow the doctor’s advice as if his word is law. Rather than following the doctor’s advice blindly remember that no one knows you better than you and you are in charge of your body and what goes into it. Doctors are there to give advice – just like a financial adviser or any other such counsellor – but you are the boss. The doctor works for you!

It’s been said that we are spiritual beings having a human experience.  And it is our desire to understand what it means to be “spiritual” that leads us to explore all manner of metaphysics.   It seems to make sense:  If I want to become more spiritual, I need to study more about spirituality.  Well, it’s time to look at things a bit differently.  

The fact is we are Spirit.  We can’t help being anything but Spirit. Yet even this is not the point.  What remains to be considered is how we, as spiritual beings, can fully inhabit and embrace our human experience – to live it, love it, and explore it.  This is our challenge: to become fully aware of ourselves.

So what does it look like when a spiritual being fully encompasses being human…to embody the awareness that we are energy;  information packets (if you will), walking around in a universal hologram of duality?  Does an awareness of our Spirit change our experience of humaness? Is it possible that we can, quite literally, manifest the dreams of our Spirit?

I’m exploring these thoughts right now in my CM Journal Pages.  It’s very exhilerating to me to contact my Higher Guidance and receive direct answers to questions of the soul.  If you would like to explore with me, sign up for the Journal Pages – it’s FREE.  It’s all about achieving a greater awareness of who you are and what you came here to do.   

Are you ready to discover what your soul is longing to express through this experience?

I just got back from doing a presentation to the Tucson Dowsing group in Arizona.  What a wonderful group of people.   

Most people associate the term ‘dowsing’ with the process of using rods or branches to help locate water sources.   Actually, dowsing encompasses a much broader concept that includes the use of any object, such as a pendulum, to tune in to certain frequencies.   Still, it’s fascinating to think that dowsing has been used to find water since the beginning of recorded history. Even to this day certain companies will have a ‘dowser’ on board to locate optimal sites for drilling wells and locating water.

Dowsing is simply a method for tuning into a particular frequency of energy information, much like you would use a radio dial to tune in to a particular station.  Right now there are countless frequencies happening in our airspace; to pick up on any of them we need a receiver.  Dowsing is much like that.  It’s about being able to tune in and become a receiver of information. 

I first discovered dowsing when I went to a chiropractor who used dowsing to identify a mineral deficiency that I had.  After leaving his office I went straight to a natural health store to pick up the supplement he had recommended.  I told my story to a little old lady working there who suggested that I check out the Sacramento ASD (American Society of Dowsers).  Looking back, it was certainly a turning point in my life and was extremely instrumental in opening my intuitive right brain.

Now, I’m certainly not one to join groups, but I was immediately attracted to dowsing because of its lack of dogma.  Rather than pushing some kind of one-size-fits-all answer, they’d say, “Dowse it out for yourself and see what’s true.”   I’ve since been to dowsing conferences all over the nation and have met a fascinating variety of people who dowse on everything from improving their gardening to communicating with aliens. 

Check out the American Society of Dowsers for yourself.  Dowsing may be a wonderful tool for intuition that you will love as well.

This is a great story from one of the readers of Hiring the Heavens.  It reminds us that help is just a thought away.

A sweet occurrence from this evening:  Looking for curtain material.  

The sales clerk shows me a section.. not right.. So I say quietly to my ‘committee’- the clerk has walked several steps away and cannot hear me:’ I want solid material that is translucent and solid color on both sides that would work for curtains and I need lots of colors to choose from”

In that minute the clerk has just come back and says to me: ” have you seen the $2 a yard shelf?  It is right behind you”  And, I turn around 

and there are two shelves of exactly the material I am looking for.  

There is more to the story,, but this is enough!!!

 

Thank you Jean for being out there!!

 

En-Joy!

I was at an Easter party recently and met an old acquaintance that was very interested in hearing what I have been up to in the last few years.  We quickly found a meeting ground with our views on spirituality and became surprising open.  I watched his face for any sign of skepticism as I went more in depth about my thoughts.  His eyes were unflinching.  So I kept going until I reached a point where I thought surely my ideas would shock and offend him but still he remained open and encouraging. 

I observed myself in this process with some amusement.  It seemed as though I was reluctant to be authentic until I knew it was safe.  Safe from what?  Who knows, maybe ridicule or disdain or maybe even something as benign as mild disagreement.  And even if that happened, so what! 

By the end of our conversation I found myself being very impressed with his views and insights.  He may have even shocked me a little.  I was very grateful he had the courage to be authentic and speak his truth. It was a wonderful exchange that only happened because of the willingness to be open and provide a “safe” space.

If you don’t speak your truth, who else will?

On Wednesday this week I presented a 2 hour tele-class on Hiring the Heavens and Your Financial Workforce for a very special group from BioPro.  BioPro is a fabulous company with many products to protect you and your family from the negative effects of electro-magnetic frequencies.  The company is great but I was most impressed by the calibre of people that attended the call.  I could tell everyone was thirsty for more information on how to work with the celestial spirits of creation.

The call was recorded and as soon as I finish a bit of editing it will be available to Wednesday night’s callers. I hope all of you found it packed with valuable information to help you with your financial committees. It is important for you to have this recording to listen to several times as many of the concepts that I talked about are simple yet take time to implement in your life.  As one of the callers said, you’ll have to build your Hiring the Heavens “muscles” with the practice of living it day to day.

I’ve received some great comments already about the call, but I would really like to hear more as well as any questions you’ve come up with. Feel free to enter your comments and questions here.

For those of you who did not have a chance to be on the call, no worries!  I will be making the recording available for sale on my website. Look for an announcement coming soon.          

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and our thoughts naturally and rightfully turn to our relationships. Did you know that your relationships have a purpose and they don’t happen “by accident”? Here’s a simple exercise that can give you insight into the purpose of the two of you being drawn together. I did this a few years ago and was amazed at how succinctly the primary focus of our marriage was highlighted.   

Couples are attracted to each other in a large part by the energy they put off. It’s as if our soul is an incredibly complex software program and included in this software is all the information about us — past, present and even where our intentions will take us in the future. On an unconscious level we are attracted to our mate because he or she completes this intention of our soul. There is purpose that will be fulfilled by your togetherness.

To find out what that purpose is you’ll need a Tarot deck or angel oracle. (You can find out more about using this method by visiting my website http://CreativeMystic.com ) Shuffle the cards a few times and focus on the question, “What is the primary purpose my mate is in my life?” Now, spread the cards on a table face down and with no ceremony whatsoever, pick a card. Don’t think about the “right” card to pick; just let your guidance direct you. It’s actually best to do this fast so that your conscious mind has no time to think. After you have drawn your card, look up the meaning in the corresponding book for the deck.

Next shuffle the deck again and focus on the next question; “What is the primary purpose I am in my mate’s life”? Spread the cards and repeat the process.

You will be amazed as I was of the clarity behind the answers. This will bring about a whole new appreciation for your Valentine as you recognize and honor your soul’s purpose for being together.
