—Looks like I missed these notes from way back in December. It was a good conversation in which Higgins talked about the quiet confidence of a first grader. Cheryl, 4/14/2026

H: We are very pleased with your progress; extraordinarily pleased for your growth over these last couple of months.  Last Weds (Nov 26) some of you couldn’t make it.  The meditation was very complex.  The most complex energy you have carried so far. 

“You will decide on a matter and it will be established for you and light will shine on your way.  Whether you turn left or right the way will be shown to you.  You will know which way to go.” JOB 22:28

Part of what we will be talking about tonight is deciding on a matter and knowing which way to go and watching how your light will be shown on your ways.  First let’s breathe and then we will take questions from S. 

P:  I think you touched on this subject before but I’ve looked in both binders of two years of Higgins notes and couldn’t find it.  Do animals have same emotions as humans – like lonely, sad, joy, jealousy, happiness? 

H:  We understand what we said that made you think that animals don’t have emotions.  (scribe note:  that is not what I think.  I thought Higgins said they don’t have all the human emotions we have.) 

H:  They do have emotions.  You would not expect a shark to feel sadness about eating a seal.  All animals utilize the emotions people do.  People are very complex in their emotional scale.  This is because you are capable of choosing how you respond to the emotions that you have.  That sets humans apart from anyone else on earth.  Emotions are used differently for people than for animals.  Cats and dogs for example also have an expanded experience of emotions.  They feel fear, anxiety, lots of emotions.  They don’t utilize them as people do in that they don’t have the choice not to feel them or stay stable by conscious choosing.  If you have ever watched a dog’s tail droop you know that dog is feeling an emotion.  And when it’s tail tentatively begins to lift, you know it’s following its instinct to keep a positive attitude.  They instinctively know to do this but they don’t consciously choose to do it.  Some animals have jealousy-like dogs and cats.  Some -like some reptiles in some situations- eat their young.  The utilization of the emotions is what differs. 

P:  Do they have the same emotional scale that humans do? 

H:  Have you ever seen a dog HOPING that someone in the kitchen will drop some food?  Or a dog eagerly anticipating food being tossed to them? 

P:  I have seen cute dogs and cats at my neighbors and am always struck by the unconditional love they have for a person.   Always excited to see me. 

P:  I have seen cats at an adoption agency where someone is giving one cat attention and then gives another cat attention and the first cat swaps the other cat (jealousy). 

P:  I don’t know if my cat is jealous when I pet sit.  I come home early in the morning and late in the evening to spend time with her.  I am not going to change my clothes twice a day.  She can smell dogs on my shoes so changing clothes does not seem necessary.  What I’m doing is talking to her and telling her she is the most important animal in my life and I love her.  This pet sitting is something I do for other people’s pets, but she’s the one for me.  I think she is ok with that.

H:  Animals are surprisingly savvy.  Have you experienced yourself or heard of people who do not know a language but understand what people are saying in another language? 

P:  I have heard a couple of stories about that. 

H:  There is emotion (vibration) that goes with language that can be interpreted.  Animals will understand far more than you think is possible by talking to them and just explaining to them that you go out and do this for extra income and it affects the well -being of the household and she is part of that household and maybe being away from her is not what she would like to be but it is part of the game in this house. And she will come into acceptance as long as you do your due diligence in letting her know that she is valued and loved and of course give her good attention before and after the talk. 

H:  The sentence for tonight are:  “you will decide on a matter and it will be established for you and light will shine on your ways.”  Job 22:28. We chose this sentence today because it expresses something that we have talked to you about multiple times which is choosing: you decide on something and then you move forward with your daily life expecting that that thing will meet you as you walk into your future.  Having walked with you on this path for quite a few years, we know each one of you is generally happy with the life that you have chosen.  Your wants for change are not small and certainly not insignificant but the things you want are a dog companion rather than to change jobs (for those of you still working).  So, when you do not have a lot of big things that you are wanting, you don’t practice as much because you don’t feel a need to change so many things.  We feel that relative to some with greater intensity of desire that it has taken you a little longer to understand the importance of deciding on a matter is.

Friend, K, when she struggled with health issues suddenly realized more than ever before how much she values having good health.  When you have decided on a matter, then you have a more powerful point of attraction.  And still, friend K, you wanted good health but you didn’t necessarily have the power or belief that you could decide on a matter and have it be so.  Several others in here have vision issues or similar issues as K and you do not have a strong belief in your ability to heal.  In order that you do not fail you often choose not to try.  The entity knows that her vision is not as keen as she would appreciate it (like when she was younger).  Many times, when she sees an eye doctor she asks, “Do people’s eyes ever get better?”  They are not expecting it and uniformly say no.

Of course your vision improves, your health improves in any way at all once you decide that you would like that and allow it and be willing and able to allow it in.  Cancer, heart stuff, vision stuff are scary diagnoses.  BUT YOU CAN REVERSE ANYTHING.  It is the deciding on the matter that is the bigger issue.  It is very difficult for physicals to believe that all you have to do is decide something different and it will happen to you.  But it does.  When you keenly decide on any topic the Universe has to, it must, shift everything that it brings you in order to satisfy your desire.  Friend S once asked if you could regrow limbs.  Technically yes, but generally we are not trying to regrow limbs, we are trying to have a life that is 100% fulfilling whether or not you have all your physical parts exactly as they are on a chart. For example, you probably won’t grow a new foot if you lost it in Iraq.   You are, however, developing the skill set (by your wanting) to make artificial limbs that are getting better and better.

Deciding on a matter.  If you will say to the mountain “move over mountain” it has to get up and move.  It is law.  But you have to believe it without a doubt in your mind. That is what our sentence today is about.  You have to decide on the matter and you will be shown the way.  It will be established for you.  It will be there and all you have to do is stand in your power listening to and receiving the inspiration and acting on the inspiration once you get it. 

P:  How come it is so difficult to believe?  I understand we could move a mountain but I can’t convince myself that that can happen. 

H:  Every one of you has been to a beautiful mountain and seen them.  You know you can’t push it.  You can’t push a house and most of you can’t push a car.  In our mind you do not have the mind set of these things being true.  You have to start much smaller.  What about shoes?  If you need a new pair of shoes could you get a new pair of shoes? 

P:  Yes. 

H:  You know how.  You have done it many times.  You have gone to a store that sold shoes; tried them on to find the right comfortable size, walked around in them and found the ones suitable for you.  You exchange the money required and walk out with the new shoes.  You know how it works and you believe you can have a new pair of shoes if you want them.  But you have never told a mountain to get up and move and been successful.  That’s really the issue.  You simply do not have enough practice at making these things work. What we were hearing you say as you were gathering tonight is that things seem to be happening right now.  Things are happening because you are at this point where you are receiving and you are saying “oh these things are happening.”  The clock repair that happened today is a fine example. 

Friend, W, the entity was at her mom’s house and the window washer was there and saw her trying to repair the clock and he said that it just so happens to be his hobby and I can help you with that.  And the clock was put back together.  And that is the sort of thing we are talking about.  When you become to believe that things are easier than they seem; that you have help; that the Universe lines things up for you; you will act on your impulses and inspiration and you will say “wow, things are happening faster than they have been before” because you are beginning to notice and take advantage of the things that were already there but you weren’t inspired toward them; you didn’t even see them.  The person may not have said anything about the clock because you hadn’t established the rapport that was necessary.  So, that is the topic for tonight:  deciding, deciding.  And how important it is to believe that you can, that the Universe does respond to you and how to practice for it. 

P:  How would you suggest removing the encrusted limiting beliefs that keeps us from believing. 

H:  The answer is practice.  We have suggested this before but let’s suggest it again.  Before you go to bed tonight, look to your morrow.  What is happening in your morrow? 

For example, the entity is having lunch with her husband’s cousin.  If she were to write a list, she would want to include things on the list such as:  “my car is in good working order; I have no trouble getting from here to there; I arrive in a timely manner at the designated place without any difficulty; I am ready to participate in the interaction.”  We strongly encourage you to add something about the person you are meeting up with:  something likeable about that person.  This person is putting a great deal of effort to come this way because she lives on the peninsula and is putting in a lot of effort to meet.  She is genuine in her kindness; she genuinely wants to meet up.  She is inclined, participatory.  She has been helping her husband through a difficult diagnosis and is needing a break so she is having a little half day to have some fun. 

As you look at all the nice things about that person, you draw out of them the best that they can be in your presence.  And then, you have your own set of rules that you have you have established for you.  You are timely; you are kind; you have interesting conversation, you participate appropriately; you are thoughtful; whatever it is that are the words that come to you for that meeting.  You participate appropriately; you separate at an appropriate time after enjoying your activities, you are perhaps going to a meal.  You want the food to be good, affordable, excellent service and see things that interest you.  You part in a friendly way, you drive home safely and arrive home refreshed for your evening’s activities. 

Whatever you are doing the next day we encourage you to write about it and then that next night to go over that list and check – that happened; check – that happened.  Sometimes things didn’t happen for you.  What didn’t happen and that is one you have to dig into.  Example:  traffic.  If you are driving from Seattle to Everett or Marysville at a certain time of day, in just a few minutes you will be sorely disappointed.  There is no getting around it.  However, if it doesn’t matter which time you go, you can definitely find your way in a timely manner.  Part of having the positive answer is being willing to be inspired to leave your house at the right time; to make appointments for the time of day that you can best maneuver through traffic and so on.  The Universe is unlimited in its ability, but you have to be a little bit flexible.  If you typically want to do something in Everett/Marysville at 2pm that is a bad time to do it.  If you will be flexible and listen to your inspiration you will find out that 10 AM is a better time to go. 

It is the daily practice that will help you develop your belief. 

P:  I feel that we are really focusing on what we want in our country and the world and I see good things happening.  It seems like it is working.  It is messy and still up and down, but I feel more optimistic than I have in a while. 

H:  Yes, things are smoothing out.  It is still bumpy and rough.  If you as a global community could agree on just a few things you would notice it smooth out much more quickly.  As a global community, and even as a smaller community, what you all keep trying to do is to make rules and enforce the rules so that everybody will agree with you and do it your way.  There is no possible way to force others to agree with you.  It will never work.  What will work is finding those common attributes to a good life that everyone wants and get everyone focused on those:  everyone wants good health; good relationships; to prosper financially; solid, safe place to live.  Obviously, some people’s homes can be small; some people still want mansions -but safe and secure wherever they are.

If you will get people focusing on the commonalities and stop focusing on the negative things happening that are being reported in the news, you will have a swift shift and your current administration that is bringing you some discomfort will swiftly line up with you when you all begin to think about those things that you want:  safety, security, prosperity, to thrive mentally and physically; to have good relationships; to have a life that is interesting and fulfilling and satisfies your soul’s needs.  Everyone wants those things and if you focus on those things, then yes, the Universe will swiftly line up for you.

P:  I had a conversation with my grandkids (7, 8, 10) in the car.  They were saying that school lunches have gotten really bad since T has been in the White House.  They talked about what they didn’t like.  They would say “I don’t like the way he cheats and is mean to the poor people.”  I would say, then what do you want?  They said they want a president that doesn’t cheat.  I said how about if we say I want a president who is honest, kind, and respects people?  It was just a really good exercise that we had. 

H:  That is exactly what we are talking about.  Deciding on a thing takes practice and it takes belief in yourself. 

Friend, D, you have given birth to a child, yes? 

P:  Yes.

H :  What if we told you this child does not belong to you, what would you say? 

P:  Not true. 

H:  You know beyond a shadow of a doubt that child is yours.  That sort of conviction you are absolutely certain about a thing is the sort of powerful expectation that you must develop. Then you can clearly tell the Universe what you want and mean it. Then you will receive the proper inspiration that the Universe offers to you: the people that you need, the information that you need, the ideas that you need, so that you can achieve the goal. 

When people were sewing things by hand, you can imagine that they wished for an easier way to do that.  Even when they believed it was possible, it took a few people to develop the idea of a sewing machine and it took electricity to make it as easy as it is today.  We are not telling you that a fully formed sewing machine will drop into your life once you have decided on a simpler way to sew.

We are saying you will be inspired by the right ideas; you will take the action steps necessary, there will be other people who will line up to meet and work with you on these things and provide you with the things that you need. 

Last week we did a meditation that we called the “gentle confidence of a first grader/peace.” This vibration is very complex and you were able to do it.  Last week when you were saying things seem to be starting to come faster, we know that you are experiencing the result of these meditations and being to carry this positive energy because you are attracting these things like a powerful magnet when you carry energy like that. 

Now, tell us how this week you experienced some thing like attracting like a magnet. 

P:  Well today I experienced the entity attracting a hair cutter out of the blue.  She wanted a better hair cutter and attracted one out of the blue. 

H:  She has said her intention was to attract a new hair dresser.  What kept her from attracting that person sooner was that the one that she was going to -she liked that person.  She didn’t want to offend that person; wanted to support her and wanted her to thrive and be successful.   However, she had to get to the point where she said “I cannot tolerate this terrible hair cut” no matter how much I like that person and want her to thrive and succeed.  I cannot abide it.  And, when she DECIDED she would not tolerate it and that she would have to find some gentle way out, then immediately within 2 days the opportunity for a new hair dresser arose. 

And the clock thing. The entity had taken the clock apart and oiled it and then was stuck.  Then the window washer said he had 47 clocks and he could help and fixed it.  All that had to be orchestrated days ahead of time so that the window washer was there and the entity was working on the clock when he was there and then he was able to fix it.  Go forward expecting the thing that you want to be there in your future. So many things have to be arranged to get your desire to occur that many times it won’t happen the day or the moment you want it to occur.  They happen after multiple people are lined up. Yes? 

P:  Yes. 

H:  We are talking about deciding what you want and you decide sometimes by writing it down or thinking it through.  Be clear about what it is that you want and then move forward confidently.  You will brush your teeth and brush your hair and go to the grocery store, etc. going about your normal activities while the Universe is going to be working and coordinating so that the person at the check-out counter gives you exactly the right information that you need or the window washer happens to know how to fix a clock. 

These things will happen for you as you begin to expect it.  EXPECT IT.  Clarify in advance and expect it.  Clarify in advance and expect it.  Be clear in advance and then expect it.  Keep getting clearer and expect it. Walk forward into your life expecting responses.

It is your job to follow up on the impulses you are given.  You have to follow those impulses. 

P:  The last 2 weeks we have talked about having the quiet confidence of a 1^st grader.  I have no idea what that is.  My emotional state as a 1^st grader was not like all the other 1^st graders.  What does that exactly mean to Higgins. 

H:  Friend, M, would you give us the picture of a confident 1^st grader? 

P:  We were talking about when we felt confident.  I remembered a time when I was 6 years old.  I had on a flouncy skirt and we went up to the board to put 2 letters together and I KNEW them.  And I went up and added them and I remembered I knew it and I knew it first.  I remembered that wonderful sense when I turned around with a flounce of my skirt because I knew the answer and I knew it was right and it is wonderful. 

H:  That was where we came up with the idea of the positive, powerful energy that is the confidence of a 1^st grader.  That story expresses that gentle confidence and that non-threatening confidence of a young person.  As we become older, our confidence can be off-putting to people who do not carry the same amount of confidence.  You can repel others who do not have that same confidence.  It is not because you are bad or mean.  You are emotionally not equivalent.  But that gentle positivity of a 1^st grader is non-threatening to most (not all) but most.  It is a beautiful positive, gentle energy that when combined and wrapped and intertwined with the energy of peace it’s a very powerful energy tone.  It is a very powerful attractor of the things you want.  We fully expect that as you learn what it feels like, learn how to carry it, learn how to make a decision, learn how to expect it to start coming to you to show itself, to present itself;  as you learn to know that it is coming, this energy is a powerful, creative tool.
