Higgins 4/15/26
The reason we are asking you to start your conversations each week by answering these questions about how you are living a full and vibrant life or your successes during the week or questions along those lines is to strengthen your ability to sift through the discomforts of the day and the week and learn to find the positive and vital aspects that are occurring in each one of your lives; to find it easily and exclude the other things.
The reason we are focusing on this is that we are playing off the wood meditation of a few weeks ago. One meditation was on metal and another was wood. We talked about the importance of metal. Your body is composed of metal: copper, iron, potassium, sodium-all are forms of metal. When energy flows through you it is conducted through the metal in your body.
Metals conduct electricity. You have energy zinging through every part of your body. This energy-when focused on a topic- creates life, material things, relationships, fights or harmony, war or cooperation. We really want you to think about the manifestations in your life. Manifestation is wood: a material product.
Friend, D, is manifesting a trip. When you think about that trip in a positive way, with positivity, you draw energy zinging through you and flowing out creating a material response from the Universe. When you think about it with negativity and fear and trepidation, the same thing happens. Energy flows through you and creates not- so- good material manifestations. We want you to think about the good things that are happening. Focus on the things that are positive and going well, that are life giving because that is what you manifest and draw to you in material form.
P: If you are ambivalent about something it could go either way.
H: Yes. If you are ambivalent, the Universe doesn’t know what to give you so it gives you mush. You give it mush and it gives it back. We have asked you to practice manifesting small things so that you could become more powerful creators. So, Friend, we know that you have made a list and that is focusing you positively on the things that you want. It helps you create more powerfully. It also gives the Universe more time to get the people to help you.
Example: if you are going to stay in a hotel and you want excellent service you have to get the schedule written that will put the right people working on the days you will be there who will give the best service. The more time you give the Universe, the better. If there is a repair to be done, it gets done before you get there – those kinds of things.
P: I had not thought about being that specific at a certain time and place everything could be lined up the way that you want. My sister didn’t plan on places to stay. She would go from one hotel to another till she found a place to stay. It seemed to turn out well.
H: Another way to do this is to decide what you want from the hotels you want to stay at. Whatever the things you want from a hotel you will be able to draw from that location a place to stay that is the best they can offer. If you travel like she did you will be drawn from one hotel after another until you get the hotel that is the closest the Universe can offer you equivalent to what you are asking for.
Ambivalence is death to your creation. If you want to create something and you are ambivalent about whether you will receive it, you will delay the things that you want indefinitely out before you. If you remember Margaret, she would say “Higgins how long does it take to manifest.”? We would say well, a moment, a month a year, 5 years, 20 years. We can’t say how long it will be for any given person, for any given thing they will desire because the return from the Universe of that thing that you want is almost entirely predicated on how powerfully you believe you are going to get it. It is possible to want something for decades and continue to push it away because you do not believe it. You want it but you do not believe you can have it. You do not understand what a path to that success looks like and this can push its arrival away.
A more effective approach would be to sit quietly after discussing with the Universe your goals. Sit quietly and wait for inspiration. Follow up on the inspiration. Then sit quietly and wait for inspiration and follow up on that and do that ad nauseum for the rest of your life because the Universe is talking to you. You know what your life will be because your life is what you are telling the Universe every moment, and subsequently expecting to receive.
P: About the word “want.” I have heard some say that if you tell the Universe that you want something, then the Universe says, “That is fine. You can want that.” The universe will keep telling you yeah, you can want it. But unless you can imagine yourself having it and not just wanting it it will not come. Wanting is just wanting, but imagining having it is a way of receiving it.
H: Yes, you understand that 100% clearly. This is a question you have had with us during our time together. Wanting is a beginning place. It is an important place for many of you because if you do not want what will you be asking for? Want is important. It is a clarifying step. However, want has two meanings: “Wow, I would like to have it.” And, it also expresses a lack.
As you are defining your wants sit and listen to your responses from the Universe. Act upon them. Then you can become clearer as to the avenue in which to achieve it. One way to hasten that process is to imagine the having of the thing. What will you “FEEL” like when that thing has arrived? What will it FEEL like when you have a relationship that you want to be in? Or how will it FEEL when you have the job of your dreams where you are treated well and respected? What will it FEEL like when you have improved health? What will it FEEL like when you receive the things that you are wanting?
P: Not to put a damper on things, but everything I’m doing is a co-creation and I can’t manifest alone. I’m sometimes manifesting in opposition from people who don’t want what I want. I’m trying to co-create with people who want something similar but not exactly and to co-create with an extremely dysfunctional government. I am trying to co-create with people who want different things but sometimes I want it come to come out my way, the way I think is the best for everyone. But, they only what what’s best for them. How can I work in these situations to manifest what’s best for all?
H: That is a wonderful question. The entity lives on a street that has a homeowner’s association. One day there was a conversation and one of the men said, “Why can’t we just get along?” The response was, “Because getting along means agreeing with you.”
For you, K, answering your question is we believe you are looking for a specific outcome and you think you have the right answer. You want to sway everyone to your way of thinking. Yes or no?
K: Sometimes.
H: OK. So, what we would like to inspire in you is a different sort of thinking. What if you didn’t have a specific outcome but a broad outcome? And, the broad outcome would be something along the lines of, “I want to come up with a solution that is not just acceptable to everyone but that is also promoting the well-being of everyone involved. I want to work with people who are ready, willing, and able to cooperate and to participate.”
We suggest these words because they are broad. You are looking to the future to attract people who can meet your requirements. Right now, you are working with what you have drawn. But, if you would allow the Universe to shift the people that are part of your work load to people that will participate more fully, if you will shift your desires from a focused outcome to a broader outcome such as I want to feel really good about my days at work, if you do those things then the outcomes will begin to shift so that you feel better about them and so do the people you are working with. That takes a bit of time.
One of the things that will help in the immediate future is that each person that you work with in a day set your intention about them. Find something that you like about each person and tell the Universe – this person has a good sense of humor; this person has a good sense of family values… whatever you think of about that person that you know about. You will be pleasantly surprised how they shift in your presence to work more cooperatively with you.
Questions?
P: I’m struggling with when to be specific and when to be general. We’ve talked about affirmation and pre-paving. I have been very much more specific and focused in my pre-paving. This sounds like I need to go back to more general things. When are you specific and when more general?
H: You are specific when you can be specific and general when specific doesn’t work. Let’s say you are going to Sweden and you want to know what you will do while you are there. You begin your planning. As you begin planning you think about what you want while you’re there – well I really want to have a good time where I’m interested in the activities that we do; I’m comfortable where we stay; and we meet people that we enjoy their company and do things my husband can enjoy, too. That’s general. Then you listen to your inspiration and you see that Rick Steves is open on Saturday and you can ask them. Then you decide will research it at their location and find out what good things to do. And, then while researching you get more specific. “Oh I would like to do that. Then you say I want to get tickets at an affordable price and be served by people who are interested in doing their job well; I want to have a good time.” You become more specific when you have more information.
K, do you have questions:
K: I have been trying really hard on the pre-paving but it doesn’t always come out the way I want because other people are in control. I don’t have any questions right now.
H: We sense coming off you a little bit of discouragement. We understand that. As you begin pre-paving and working within your environment that is a wheel turning and cannot be stopped, you are required to work within that powerful machine. That is where you are today. As you continue to practice pre-paving, as you continue to look for the best in the people who you are interacting with, as you do these things day in and day out, weeks, months, and years, watch how things will change. Tomorrow when you go to work, the Universe can only bring you the best of what there is to work with. If you give it time, the Universe will start shifting your clientele or work environment or the laws or whatever needs to be shifted to accommodate you or find you a new job where those things exist.
The Universe responds IMMEDIATELY with whatever is closest by that meets your vibration. If you give the Universe tine then the Universe can give you even better. We will again give the example of creating items from nothing: the sewing machine. Sewing was done by hand forever. People certainly felt what could we do to make it easier? It was those desires in someone who was listening to their conversation who said “I could make a sewing machine.” And it was created. It did not come overnight; it had to be designed and built and sold and disseminated. It is the same thing with what you are dealing with. You want something different, and you will get something improved. It could take a year or a dozen years to see the kind of change you want to see. You have to find the best in it or allow yourself to be magnetically drawn into something else that will suit you better.
P: I have been thinking this past week about my last job I had for 12 years. It was fulfilling and it helped people. I learned a lot but was paid low wages. I had a lot of responsibilities. If I knew then what I know now, I would not have been trying to adapt myself to settle for a job where I wasn’t in bliss. I had had previous jobs where I was in bliss and loved the job. With this job I felt it was the best I could do. I think a lot of women stay in jobs because they are told they are really good at their job and a really good person for doing good things for people.
If I did this again I would say I want less burden, less responsibility and something that brings me bliss.
H: Bliss is not a word you use very often or something you experience very often. It isn’t a thing you think about as an achievable thing. To our friend, K, we ask you do you associate bliss with your current job or even as something that is achievable?
P: No, not in my experience so far.
H: Exactly. When you are thinking about what a good day would be, do you ever say gee, I would like bliss?
K: More like completion.
H: And not to be beaten mercilessly about the head and neck?
K: Yes, that would be really nice.
H: Bliss is not something many of you associate with your lives, but if more people had the courage to ask for bliss in their lives and demanded it, things would be quite different.
As you know the entity is in a situation at work where she goes to work and hopes it won’t be horrible. That is the best she could ever do. We are understanding on a very intimate level what you are going through, K, because we live it through the entity. As we experience these things in the physical body, we know what you are going through and we know why the entity doesn’t achieve bliss.
1) she doesn’t believe it can happen, and
2) when we inspire her in the direction that would bring her that bliss, she’s too afraid to take the steps necessary.
This is exactly the thing you bump up against when you are creating. When you have an inspiration to do the thing that would bring you the happiness you desire you are too afraid to actually act on it. We will give you an example. The entity wants a beautiful yard. She had some new plants she wanted to place in a certain area of her yard. We said No and turned her toward another place. She kept going back to where she wanted the plants and we kept turning her back to the other place. Back and forth. Finally, she said ok I’ll put them there. She planted them and still doesn’t understand why.
When you have an inspiration we want you to follow it because if you are clear before you step out the door that you want a great day, or a beautiful yard you have to be willing to be quiet and listen for your inspiration and then act on it. We had to keep pushing the entity towards the right spot, giving her inspiration but she wasn’t listening. That will happen to you, too. Pick up the phone and call the travel agency you are talking about or look for a new job, whatever your inspiration is. Follow the inspiration that you have.
The entity received a note from The Universe Talks that was funny. “Persistence is not knocking on the same door till the darn thing opens. Persistence is knocking on lots of doors.” We couldn’t say it better ourselves. When you are inspired to do a thing, try it. Do something different.
The entity is historically has not been a joiner. Recently she has joined 2 groups: NW Fruit where she learns about pruning grapes and has many learning opportunities to improve her skills in her own garden. She is also looking into DAR.
(Note from Cheryl: DAR is Daughter of the American Revolution.)
H: So we are talking about knocking on doors. The entity joined NW fruit that is teaching her something about gardening which she is interested in, and she is also pursing DAR.
You try one and then another and then another until you have tried so many doors that now begin to open and you find the thing that you want. Knock on some doors, try some different things. Be willing to step out of your comfort zone. If you are inspired, do something. Give it a try. If there is a knot you work at it till it loosens up. That is what you are doing by knocking on doors and trying different things.
Meditation.
