Higgins 5/7/25
Mother’s Day is a Peace day. We would like you to consider something, a very general something. As you consider your next move whether your next move is something bad you have to take action to avoid or something good that you are moving toward, note that when you define something as good or bad you are committing your creation. We want you to think about that and let it simmer in your mind.
P: Pondering Mother’s day. Went on line to find Mother’s day peace making events. Found nothing. What has happened to the original theme of peace – mothers celebrated as peace makers? The theme of honoring peace and peace-making women, mothers in the world today? It has shifted to something sentimental. We don’t talk about peace. Where did that foundational premise go?
H: Commercialization of all your holidays and celebrations.
P: Would you explain the origins of Mother’s day – originally was peace?
H: Whatever experiences the entity has had we draw on those experiences to better answer questions for you. She does not know about Mother’s day being a peace day. So please talk about this more.
P: I remember reading that WWI or WWII there were women who were protesting the war and promoting peace. Picketing. The event noted internationally that the Mother’s promoted peace.
H: Can someone please look that up?
P: It was the Civil War. In 1870, nearly 40 years before Mother’s Day became an official U.S. holiday in 19l14. Julia Ward Howe called up a proclamation to have mothers of all nationalities stand together to promote the amicable settlement of international considerations in the greater and general interest of peace. She envisioned a day of solemn council where women all over the world could meet and discuss the means whereby to achieve world peace. Howe was a prominent American feminist, abolitionist, poet and she tended the wounded and worked with the widows and orphans of soldiers on both sides of the war. She realized that the effects of war go beyond the killing of the soldiers in battle. The devastation she witnessed during the Civil War inspired her to call out for women to rise up from the “ashes and devastation” urging a mother’s day dedicated to peace. (Note: no credit was offered at the time and therefor is not recorded here.)
H: We are once again giggling inside at how our conversations circle around and the information that is shared contributes to where we want to go as a group.
Let’s do our beginning meditation. None of you are in the same space together. Allow yourself to expand so that this group of 8 encompasses the same space. You don’t have to know how to do it. “Whatever Higgins says we will do it.” Encompass the same space. Those of you who feel energy notice yourself tingling a little and feeling a little bigger. This time we will just hold that level. We want you to understand that this is advanced energy work. We will amp the energy in a while. For now, we want you to feel what it feels like to occupy the same space and therefore each one of your thoughts and all that you are are melding with one another so that our conversation will unfold in what we expect to be very interesting for all of you, life-giving and joyful.
The simple part of D’s question was where did the shift in celebrating Mother’s day from peace to a very sweet and lovely celebration of the mother? The simple answer: commercialization. There is much more. If you will remember that these are the end times, the shift of the ages. Each one of you is here as a skilled creator, non-physicals who have chosen a physical life experience. You came during this time for the potential of expanded growth. Because the time is so painful and difficult, many of you do get off track and a little lost and you lose the centeredness that is required for really living fully. So in that respect it is no wonder then that Mother’s Day has fallen into commercialization. What is lovely to think about and to note is that this conversation has come up when many of you are not simpatico with the current administration in the White House and this time when it is even more difficult to be centered when being centered is the only answer. Isn’t it nice to have this reminder (thank you D and K) that there was a time when one woman said “I have had enough of bloodshed. I am a mother and there are other mothers and fathers who are allowing their children to go to war with no purpose, to die in very terrible ways. We are allowing this to happen to one another and this woman said, “I have had enough.”
A day has come when this was celebrated as a day of peace and now it has become a nice but different celebration. How lovely it is though that this group is remembering what it is all about. We are saying that because when you are asking what is my purpose in life, your purpose is to be peace and bring peace. Being centered is just another way of saying ‘I am finding my peace.” THERE IS NO OTHER SOLUTION TO THESE PROBLEMS THAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING. Peace is the answer. The stillness in your heart and soul that is the answer. From that still place then move in inspired action. It was your goal before birth. You knew that you could find your centered place and remember to move from this centered place in the right direction.
We are going to give you a soft example. The entity has been trying to cultivate a rhododendron from her mom’s tree for about 10 years and has been unsuccessful. This rhodie is about 20 feet tall and 10 feet wide and is always spectacular this time of year. In the past couple of days she looked at the rhodie and there were some little starts she wants to get from that tree. And so, because she has had so many failures, she went to the tree with an offering and asked to be able to harvest those plants and for them to be successful. As she was putting together the tools to collect these plants, she found a bucket with holes in the bottom so she wants to find something to plug the holes so these roots and starts will not fall through the bottom. She is next to a camelia bush that has dropped its blossoms. By the way, she also wants a camelia bush. Not thinking about the camelia, she scoops up the pink blossoms and puts them in the bottom of the bucket. She then gets the rhododendron starts, puts them in the bucket and goes home. She very carefully separates the roots and leaves. She finds 5 rhodie starts that she thinks she can grow. When she gets to the place where she wants to put them, she only has 4. As she is digging through the compost pile to get dirt to plant the 4 starts, suddenly there appears in the compost pile this beautiful little bright green set of 2 leaves with a root on the bottom. It says, “plant me, plant me.” She thinks it is a laurel, and she doesn’t want a laurel so she throws it back on the compost pile. But it says, “plant me, plant me.” So she plants it. She goes back and finds the 5th rhodie start, plants that and stands back taking a good look at those leaves. They don’t look like laurel leaves. They look like camelia leaves. Then she knows what has happened. When she was scooping up all those leaves and some green ones, too, and put them in the bucket, she inadvertently had pulled that camelia start up out of the gravel with a bunch of fallen camelia blossoms and put them in the bucket.
This is an example of living in the right way. This is an example of perfect serendipity. Things happens for you when you are in the right way. If you stay centered, all your life will be like this. The right things happen at the right time.
The beginnings of Mother’s Day as a petition for peace that has now morphed to Mother’s Day as it is celebrated in present time is still a very nice celebration: a celebration of love and respect for mothers.
P: Most spiritual paths all revolve around who I am, what I am, why am I here, and how do I notice that and how do I perceive. Depending on the tradition, the answers are always: be still and know who you are. It has been shown to me that there are teachers along the way that show up and it is all about serendipity. What you are speaking of makes clear sense to me. This feels like a huge disruption in the culture and in the world. While I have the framework that these are changing times, end times, transformational times, it is so delightful to hear you saying, “be still, be centered, remember who you are.” There is a part of me- because things are so awful, things are happening that I never imagined happening –it is disarming to me.
H: What is disarming for you? The fact of the awfulness or the fact that the only solution is for you to find your peace.
P: Really, I think it is grief. Really hard to accept the injustice and death that is coming with this transformation. I have to find my way to grieve. I do that by singing peace songs. It doesn’t take away my need to write senators to carry on and do their job.
H: Every one of you chose to be here in this body at this time. We know as a child you said, “I didn’t choose this.” But you did. You knew that you could cope. You didn’t know what atrocities were coming but only that it would be difficult. You also knew that you completely had the capacity to find your way through and you would find a group like this who would support you in your efforts to do that. The smoothest way for each one of you is to find your center and go forward from your centered place because each one of you will be drawn differently (because you are different people with different experiences and goals for your life) to safety and you will be drawn steadily to a fulfilling purpose in life. You will be drawn to safety; drawn forward to things that interest you and stimulate you and into friendships and supportive groups and relationships that are wonderful and are always better through your centered, peaceful place.
We have told this story before. When the entity lived in Everett, across the street she had neighbors with 2 children who went on a trip. As they were driving in that country they came to a stop sign. If they went down the road took them to the beach-which was their original plan. Or they could go up the hill to the mountain which was not their first choice. Their plan was to go to the beach first. They sat at that stop sign and they said, “we should reverse our trip and go up.” While they went up there was a tsunami that wiped out the location below them. They were not harmed. They were not harmed because they were living in their own space. That is how you will go through your life. You will always go left instead of right when it is necessary; you will scoop down and pick up the camelia blossoms and get a camelia plant if you are living in your right way. We encourage you to think about your days and notice how much serendipity happens when you are living in your right space, your centered space. We will also add that while you are all practicing this to the best of your ability, this is a polishing and honing time so you will get even better.
P: This is so global. I think of Mother Earth and the life force of this amazing planet. We are all in this together. It is going to be a birthing. I keep that thought in my mind. My intuition plays a big role these days.
H: Remember we used to talk about the emotional spectrum. At one far end on the left it is slow and low emotions, deep depression, causing you to leave your body (suicide or grief or other ways). Far right end is joy and bliss. Those emotions are so fast if you hold them for very long you will vibrate out of our body. You have emotions because you are in this body and your greater self is also around here somewhere. That larger consciousness is always holding a compass saying, “come this way, come this way, come this way.” You know when you are heading in the right way because you feel positive. But do you understand why when you feel negative you feel negative? The reason you feel negative is because whatever is happening your broader self is expanding and saying “Wow, that’s fantastic!” and you are saying, “no it is not.” Your greater being is saying “we are really learning” and you are saying “this is horrible. I don’t like it.” The worse you feel, the farther apart you are from your eternal you, that knowing part of you that is a beacon and always calling you home. You feel bad because you are separating yourself from the eternal part of yourself. When feeling other than peace, you are separating yourself. As these things are happening, you get on the news and you listen to what (he) has said about dolls or people being arrested or people wearing masks and are pulling people off the streets and you say this is awful but your greater being says “no, this is a learning opportunity.” Come this way, come this way, come this way. The more you refuse to find the beauty in what’s going on or find your centered self, the more it hurts. We are not asking you to like what is going on. We are asking you to ask yourself, “What am I learning?” How are you expanding? What is happening here?
The entity’s mom when these things happen, has a habit of writing a funny poem about it and making a joke of it. In that way she’s moving into alignment. No matter how awful it is she is making a joke about it which moves her into alignment with her broader self. It is a perfect solution. It is working for her. What can you do to bring yourself into alignment? Not “I like it” or “I agree with it” or anything else, but wow I am grateful to expand as a soul being. I am grateful for the opportunity to be here at this time. There may be 8 billion people on the planet but those are 8 billion souls who sort of graduated through enough classes or enough learning opportunities that they chose to be here at this time. So, 8 billion of you can actually do this. You can get through this difficult time and it will be so much easier, and so much less painful -like having an epidural while you are having a child and that is what finding your peace is. It is an epidural in your spine during labor.
P: Last week I was out of town, off the grid, no internet. People are socially progressive, writing letters about different issues. When I got back I felt I should catch up on the news. That was not good for me. I feel a lot of sadness and disappointment. People are inherently good, but I don’t see that happening so much. One thing that has been helpful. I have a book about the Obama family by a photographer. It contains 200 photographs. It’s in the bathroom. I look at different photos and think what a wonderful president he was and our first lady and focus on what it should be: the beauty of that kind of person leading the country.
H: That is a very powerful tool. We strongly encourage you all to spend time thinking about what you would like to see in your leaders. What results would you like to have from your leadership such that your country runs more like you think that it should. When you think that it should do something, what picture do you have? What would it be like? When you begin to envision the reality that you would prefer to have – that is very powerful creating. People who can picture what they would rather have with a positive heart are very powerful creators. If you are creating from your centered place, you are much more powerful than the thousands who are running around squawking but are not focused. One person can undo the damage of tens of thousands. Get in your centered place then act.
P: When I think with my heart instead of my brain then I am coming from my center. Love comes from my heart. It helps me feel things in a different way and helps my understanding of it.
H: Can you think of something good about your current president from your heart?
P: Yes. I think if I had had all the experiences he had I could very well be doing the same thing. He is a human being and he’s been really damaged and not had any way to move out of that. My heart goes out to him. I think we need him. He is the catalyst for waking us up.
H: He is a very powerful catalyst. Anyone else want to try and say anything about Trump from your heart center, from your centered place where everything is A-OK?
P: He is a catalyst and he challenges us to see life in more ways. He has some serious issues with gold and money and they interfere with how he deals with those who are poor.
H: Anyone else?
P: He is showing us what not to do.
H: He applies the Law of Attraction very powerfully.
P: I do believe that he thinks he is doing what’s best for our country.
H: When you can say something positive from the heart can you feel that you move towards your beacon, your compass? Whether you like or dislike him it helps to think of him, and other people you struggle with, from your heart center because that brings you closer to connecting with our compass, your beacon. Your life is not about your noisy neighbors or your president, or your boss you don’t like or anything else. THIS LIFE IS ABOUT YOU BEING CENTERED. It’s about getting centered then taking action from there. That is what your life is about.
P: If we are divine beings who chose to be here, so are everyone else.
H: True. What if Trump chose to show us how to get it right by doing the opposite?
P: The poor guy tried 4 years and we didn’t get it right so he has to try all over again.
H: That is a very wise thing. If you had gotten it the first time, he wouldn’t have to be back.
