Higgins 7/1/26
I forgot to ask Cheryl to record so we lost about 20 minutes before she remembered on her own.
D was talking about her skin problems and K also was talking about that as well.
H: When you respond to your inspiration; when you follow up consistently and persistently– little things happen and your life begins to be more coherent. Those things that seem serendipitous become ordinary. And these are the things that lead you into a healthy life. Or, if you say, no, no, no I can’t do that now, that takes you away from your good health, mental health and financial well-being, the good relationships that you want.
Do you follow that?
P: Some of these skin problems have been chronic and during the seasons there is an ebb and flow with them. Sometimes they are worse – like winter- and sometimes better. There are times I have been really inspired and start putting things together to really follow my inspiration then get a door slammed in my face. It’s kind of discouraging me from the bigger inspirations. I try to use my intuition every day to determine which of the two routes to work. There are so many ways I use my intuition and yet when I use my inspiration I feel it often lets me down because the things I dream of are far too big to accomplish in one day. It takes long-term planning and invariably something comes up that must be done and then my plans are shifted or sabotaged somehow. Why is that?
H: We are so pleased with your question. Let’s go back to the beginning when you said this is a chronic long-term condition. Each of you is born. And then pre-birth, you have decided you were going to have some kind of a thing. For S, it was her mother that focused her in the way that she would go. For some of you it would be skin issues; some it was deformities, some are born mentally keen and some not so mentally keen. There are things that are going to slide along with you for your whole life experience.
We can liken it to handicapping. Do you know what it is to put weights on a horse during a horse race? Let’s say you have 10 horses running in a race. The goal is to have all 10 cross the finish line at the same time. Some horses who are known to run faster are assigned a handicap: they are required to carry more weight than the slower horses. The additional weight is designed to slow them down so hopefully they all cross the finish line at once.
In a way, you are talking about a handicap that slows you down or weighs you down. You are so good at (life) you chose to have something a little more difficult to deal with. So, having a long-term dermatitis may well be that for you. Once again, we encourage you to think about the end result. If you are taking your last happy breath, while you are lying there, what kind of life are you looking back at? Because if you will stimulate thoughts about the end result, those inspirations you get will be more than likely to help you in that direction.
Friend K, some of those things you said indicated that you get a muddy response. So, if you have a clear end goal in mind, your inspirations will be clearer and you will be less frequently stimulated to wrong action.
P: What if it is my desire to be open and receptive to whatever it is that is my life purpose, to be in some way an instrument of divine will in any situation? I don’t always know what my long-term aspirations will be. I feel like I have been sent here to do something and it will be revealed as I go along. So it’s really hard to make long term plans for that and whatever weird things come along.
H: Friend, that sounded like a comment to us. Say again.
P: I don’t know how to dream long-term if my whole idea is to be an instrument of Divine will: to do what needs to be done. But I don’t know what those things are now and I don’t know what those things are going to be 10 years from now. So how do I dream those dreams?
H: You don’t have to be very specific when you’re talking about your end dreams. The entity says when she is lying there looking back at her life she wants to say “Wow, that was awesome!” And that allows a lot of leeway for the Universe to work with. We want you to think of something broad that the Universe will draw you to something good. You want things to be different now and different in a year and different again later because otherwise you will be bored. You want to keep changing. Your friend, (name removed) —there are ups and downs for you personally and at the same time helping her through her difficulties is one of those things you want to be doing. So if you get something like this in your life what we hope you will do is look at the parts that are sticky and uncomfortable for you and clarify the so when the next one comes up next year and year after each time you are using these as clarifying opportunities. We notice as a rule, not just this group but many, you do not look at something that occurs negatively and immediately sit down and stimulate the thought flow of what you would rather have happen.
The entity is a perfect example. She is at home; the husband lies down for a nap. Fireworks go off and the huge dog who is staying with them for a time, who is untrained, and even on a leash the entity cannot hold the dog. The dog shoots under the computer. She can’t hold the dog and it goes back under the computer, runs around the printer and smashes into the wall and there is stuff on the floor. The dog is not smashing its head into the wall on purpose. It is trying to get out, but the things it’s stepping, she can’t get away from them, so she goes forward and back and forward and back in confusion, smashing the printer stand, wall and bookshelf with each lunge. It is a small space and a huge dog but it finally gets out.
The entity in her frustration decides to put the computer away and she doesn’t realize that due to the thrashing dog’s actions the computer is crashing right now and she takes the dog into another room and the dog settles down and she settles down and things happen differently.
Do you think that at any point after that she said, well that went wrong. How would I rather have had it go? No, she didn’t.
We want you to take these kinds of life difficulties as learning experiences. Review them in your mind, rework them in your mind so that they come out positive in your mind. This a very powerful technique. Rework them so that each one of these hiccups is resolved and now you have a bigger toolbox. You are stronger, more powerful, more clever, have more ideas for how to handle things as you go along with your life. Those things that come to you, you will know how to handle them and they will be delightful, as you hoped they would be.
We get the feeling that in general you all want things to happen that are easy to like so that it will be easy for you to be happy. What we are telling you is if you will look at the things you do not like and turn them around and find the positive in them, it will be easier for you to draw things that you like. But if you keep looking at the things you do not like and wishing they weren’t there, you are going to have a very difficult time achieving your goal.
P: We’ve been talking about focusing our thoughts and our energy so that we can make things happen. The entity has been using examples of swish and flick. I don’t know; I slept through all the Harry Potter stuff: I was in law school then and don’t get any of it. Can you give some other analogies or other advice for focusing?
This week I was sitting at the social security administration doing some work for my friend and I am looking at the numbers being called and thought, oh god I’m going to be here forever. I need to get out of here. My number was the next number called. So, OK, that worked out but I was a little surprised honestly.
Could you give us some more advice on how to focus the energy to make the simple things happen because I don’t need a hard time with this. I was prepared. It didn’t take long when I got there. I just don’t want to sit there for so long. I have other things to do.
H: In fact that is the meditation we will do today. Who among you watches football? Yes, B, we may call upon you in a moment to speak about this. The ball is thrown, many men going after it, one person trying to catch it and you have other men who are trying to stop that person from catching it. Are you with me?
P: Yes.
H: Every so often you see one guy in the middle of the pack and he goes up and up and up and with one hand grabs the football and brings it in. Yes?
P: Yes.
H: Do you have an example you would like to describe?
P: There’s a famous play from the 80’s, 49ers vs Dallas Cowboys. It’s called “The Catch.” Jo Montana threw the ball to the back of the end zone to Dwight Clark, who raised up above everybody else and brought it in. I was a two-handed catch but amazing. 49ers won the NFC championship with that catch.
H: It is very spectacular when one catches it with one hand or two. They get the ball and just suck it in. This is what we want you to do in creating. We want you to get that feeling of reaching up, grabbing it, bringing it in to you and holding it.
In essence, that is what you were doing in that office, K, the other day. You said “I’m having it now.” Sometimes when you get that frustrated energy that says “NOW,” you are reading the wavelengths and there was an aspect of you that knew it was coming so you are saying NOW. And that will stimulate it. Maybe if there had been another person in another line, you would have been called first. If you were number 100 and another person was 50, you wouldn’t get called next. That would be reaching too far. If you set your intention up ahead of time, if you then follow your inspiration to feel what you feel and suck it in, then you will get those responses that are so wonderful and fun. When they happen, you say “yes the Universe was talking to me right now.” Those are good moments.
What are some ways we can draw things in? One very powerful way is to talk about it as if it has already happened. Our friend, D, might say “I’m so appreciative that this medication has worked on my skin. I feel so much better.” This is useful when you have some belief that it’s working. If you hadn’t yet seen any effect, it would be harder to feel good about that statement than if you were starting to see a little bit of progress already. If you do not resonate with the words you say, they don’t work. You’ve got to find words you resonate with. It is very helpful to say words or to think of emotions that you would have when it was already a done deal. That is a powerful tool.
P: I can tell this is working, day by day. It is getting better. I am envisioning when I’m in Colorado I can go into a pool or be outside in a couple of weeks.
H: Yes. That is the next thing: envisioning. See yourself already having the thing that you want. When you do this, start out holding the vision of the thing you want for a number of seconds. When you try to hold that vision for too long it sometimes will backfire on you. So just in and out. Dive in to your vision and get out.
Let’s talk about weight loss. It is very difficult to look at oneself in the mirror not looking the way you wish you would look and feel good about it. But if you catch a glimpse of yourself at a certain angle and you say, “Oh, I look good there,” or you lose one pound and you notice a little less over your belt – good! Notice and move on. Notice and move on. Notice and move on. To spend too much time on something that isn’t full yet will lead your mind to at first be happy and then start not believing and it will push it away.
P: I found a good way to distract. When my body is letting me down or something keeps happening that makes me unhappy day after day and I’m getting frustrated and wishing it will go away, what I started doing was when my body did it right, I literally say out loud, “Thank you, body. Thank you, thank you for doing that. We’re good partners,” and then moving on. I don’t know if my body is listening, but I know it stops the negative thoughts and lets me move on. That has to be helpful.
H: Each cell in your body is an entity unto itself. When you acknowledge your body as something other than you, the body likes that. You are living in a body, which is a temple. Treat your body as a temple. That is what it is. You are an eternal soul and you are housed in your body. So, yes, to thank your body for working with you? Absolutely! The body wants to hear those things.
Distraction is not a pulling-in tool. It is a “not pushing away” tool. Pulling in is being grateful as though you already have it. Pulling is the awareness that you have the power. It is a powerful emotion. For friend, D, you cannot yet feel powerful about your skin so distraction is an option to keep you from making it worse. The power tool comes when you can say I have noticed this is a little better. Envision yourself with clear skin, and find some gratitude when you can for your skin. If you can. And/or find gratitude for something else.
One of the tools in your tool kit needs to be happy thoughts. Once you have done your envisioning, think happy thoughts. Happy thoughts are also not pulling in tools. What they are is equivalent emotions to the thing that you want. If you are envisioning something, like clear skin, focus on something that would make you just as happy as having clear skin. Doing that causes you to vibrate in an equivalent vibration and that pulls your desired result in. This technique works best when you have envisioned the thing that you want to have happen and then finding a thought pattern that feels like it will feel when you have the success that you want.
P: I have been into metaphysics for a long time and I have been noticing at least 3 other groups that I have had some interest in, all of them are talking about joy. We gotta have joy. Apparently joy is a big energy for right now. Can you explain that a little bit?
H: It kind of is the time for joy. We are in the shift of the ages. What is occurring is the earth is speeding up so people have to speed up their base-line vibration. Not everyone, if you are looking around, is keeping up with the happiness, joy, feel good. There is a lot of anger depression a lot of bad behaviors that are not helping the transition.
Why joy? Joy is going to pull you through this and not only will it pull you through the transition, when you feel joy, you make a template for others also. So if you, K, are filled with joy, the people around you will say, “What does K have that I don’t? I want some of that.” You are stimulating a flow towards joy for everyone else. And, it really feels good to be in joy. When you bump into it you really don’t want to leave it. It is a positive feedback system. Once you begin manufacturing your own bliss and you can do it almost any time, it is a delightful place to be and you will want it for its own sake, not just because it helps others, but because it feels good to you.
Anything more before we meditate?
P: The entity wanted to know where the line is between doing what it takes to finish something and then allowing the Universe to work for you. Where is that line? I kind of don’t know what she means. I think it has to do with the grant.
H: Do you remember a year ago she had an inspiration to get on a tractor? So she called a friend who arranged for her to get on a tractor. And then she said she wanted to drive a tractor and her friend said, “No, you have to go to WSU Extension and take this class to drive a tractor.” She waits the whole year and she gets into the class. What sorts of things were happening at that time? Remember she was so pleased. She found a local bread maker and would pick up bread on class days. At the class someone (one of the instructors) said something about meditations and she said she would look into those meditations to determine what she could offer them. She had multiple nice things going on during the class and due to the class. Other things were happening as well, like the fruit program where she was learning how to manage fruit. A lot of things were easy and were sliding into place. Now she is seeing all of the things she wants to have happen beginning to fall into place and, like K was asking, she wonders how do you rope it all in?
In this analogy she’s reaching for that football and sometimes she catches it. But sometimes she’s missing it or she’s dropping it and she’s mad because what she wants isn’t happening fully. Part of what she is missing here is setting her intentions on what is next: sliding through this easily; having things unfold for her easily. She has a friend who will help her with her grant; help her know that she’s got the verbiage right; whether she’s putting it together in a professional manner. She’s got the tools she needs, but she isn’t setting up in advance the use of them. She’s forgetting the pre-paving part which is making things hard.
Second, when you have decided that you want something (maybe to be a professional musician or tennis player) many times you have to work hard and long hours to make it happen. Yes, we expect that some of that will be expected. When you are a distance apart that is not a jumpable step, you have to keep working through the hard part. So, right now is the time to persevere (tell her that). At the same time if she allows herself to dwell in the frustration, then she is negatively creating.
During those frustrating parts when she feels she is putting out more effort than it should be or that is required, those are the times when she needs to align herself, realign with why she is doing it. She is not asking for $4800 from the grant foundation because she needs $4800. She is not asking for that portion that will be given to you because you all need it or because the musician will have to have it. It is not enough money for any of you to be reimbursed for the amount of time on a dollars per hour basis. It won’t reimburse any of you for your time/hour. It is a token. She wants to do something and this is a metaphor for what she wants to do. And, if she will not put out the effort to do this then she has let what she wants slip through her fingers (metaphorically). It is a metaphor right now. A metaphor. She needs to do her pre-paving and she needs to do the work that it takes to get it done.
She recently had an experience cleaning the kitchen and she said, “Wow, that took longer than I expected but I did a really nice job and I had a very pleasant time doing it.” That’s what she’s looking for: the same feeling as when she cleaned the kitchen that day. Yes, it was hard. Yes, it took longer than she expected and yes, she did a great job and it looked really nice.
The reason this comes up is she receives the Universe Talks (Notes from the Universe) and that person is saying recently, “I know I’m ready to stop working so hard. I’m ready to let the universe do a little more allowing.” Yes, he is because he’s down the road way in front of her and it’s time for him to do that. But it’s not time for her to do that. So you really have to decide what is right for you. If you are so far along on a topic and think that resting is the thing to do, then rest. But if it is not, then it is time to work. You will know the difference. You will know the difference because you will be inspired in your own understanding.
P: Sometimes I find that working hard on something else gets me where I want to go. Can you talk about that a little bit?
H: Absolutely. When you are working on a thing that is stuck like a knot is stuck, and you’re just getting frustrated, frustration is not going to help you. So if you turn your attention to something else and work on that, you are metaphorically working out the knots on that other problem. So go do something else and that knot will relax and when you go back to it, it will be easier.
Remember everything is metaphor. There is nothing that is not tied together. There is only one thing that is in the Universe and so if you focus on one project with pleasure then your other projects are also going to have the opportunity to have more pleasure. Like soaking a dish with dried food on it. Soak it in water. Let the water do the work and then come back and wash it off.
We have a superb meditation for you.
