Ask Higg(in)s

Offering from Higgins:

The universe flows.  One either flows with the energy of the universe or struggles against it. Think of a lazy river, a manmade fun ride type of lazy river.  Imagine yourself in a comfortable flotation device meandering along.  The water rushes faster or slower depending upon your location in the river but always the flow of the river pushes you and your flotation device along. Occasionally the flotation system with you upon it may stall for a moment in a manmade backwater but a simple, gentle push from your hand placed against the wall of the pool/river will set you in motion once again.

The work required on your part is almost non-existent.  Your greatest requirement is to enjoy the activity.

Now the question becomes ‘how does one get into the flow’?

The best visualization we have yet come across is that of learning to water ski.  Envision yourself in the water behind a ski boat.  You are floating easily in a life vest. There are two long skis strapped to you, one on each foot.  Try as you will you simply cannot pull those skis into alignment and trying to do so is painful. In fact, the more you struggle and work to straighten those skis the more it hurts.

The water itself grips those skis and pulls one leg this way and the other that way and there may seemingly be no way to get those skis positioned.  That is, until your friends in the boat call out, “Relax!  The skis will float into place the moment you quit struggling!”

It seems incomprehensible yet you allow yourself to do nothing.  Every muscle relaxes and your life vest does keep your head comfortably above water and impossibly, the skis do immediately float into position.

That is what you are trying to achieve, Friends.  That total relaxation. When you relax and quit struggling your life will align swiftly and easily and better yet, it will quit hurting.

Blessings, Friends.  All is well.

Question:  I believe you when you say that those things that we dream of being are truth for us.  So for me, I dream of being a writer and an artist. I took some time off from working to pursue these things and in two years have not painted one picture or pursued art of any form to any appreciable degree.  As for writing, I’ve done some but barely any on the actual thing I wanted to write on, if that makes sense.

It seems that there is always some other thing more pressing that needs to be done and since I am ‘not working’ I have time to do it.  All kinds of people seem to find ways to fill my time for me and think up things for me to do.  Sometimes I say no but many times I say yes.

Why does this interference happen?  Am I causing it in some way?

Higgins:  Two aspects to this.  First, we know you and know that what you are writing, or trying to write, the world is not quite ready for. It will be soon and so in the now time you are writing against the tide. Like swimming against the tide, writing against the tide is a difficult thing to do.  As you continue to ponder and piece this story together the universe will come into alignment with you as the people of the world get ready (on a vibrational level) to receive it.

Think of a sink full of water.  When first the drain is opened it seems the water is emptying very slowly but as the water level lowers it appears to empty faster until the very last of the water sucks down the drain with a slurp.  When you have puttered along on this story long enough there will be a feeling of being that last bit of water as it is slurped.  It will happen very quickly.

Let’s add to that: You and the universe are water flowing steadily and without effort down the drain. When the vibration of the masses slips into alignment with what your book offers, and it will, it is the alignment of what you and the universe are working on with the vibrational pull of the mass consciousness that will cause the slurping feeling.

Second, it is true that you are not in complete alignment with the book and all the things that completing the book will bring into your life. When you decide that you are a writer.  When you decide that you can be and will be successful then you will be firm in your writing pursuits. Just as it is easy to say, “Sorry, I can’t do that because I am scheduled to work that day,” you will easily make time for writing. It will come easily when it comes so don’t put much effort into making this happen for you.  Instead, put gentle pressure, gentle effort into writing regularly upon something, anything.  Work at it a little here and there and as what you want to say begins to form more clearly you will naturally be drawn to spend more time at it and the book will begin to take shape very quickly.  Those interferences will simply drop away.

Really Friend, other than consistent gentle effort and clear intent there is not much work on your part so if it seems like work then something is amiss.  When that happens, relax and try again from the relaxed place.

Offering from Higgins:

As non-physical beings no time elapses between desiring something and its arrival. In this physical realm there is almost always a time-lapse between thought with emotion and arrival of its physical manifestation. Regardless of how strong a match your thoughts and emotions on a topic are they simply cannot manifest if the majority of your thoughts are not a match with your desire. Therefor, learn to wait effectively by keeping your thoughts and emotions equal to your desire.

Offering from Higgins:

The Earth realm is a time/space scenario. Those things you wish to manifest sometimes take a good deal of time to arrive in your life.  We encourage you to learn to wait with confidence. While you wait, fill your head with pleasant thoughts and your days with activities of interest.  Take any steps towards your goal that arrive to be taken. Otherwise, know that It is coming, whatever It is, and move along contentedly through your days until Its arrival.

Offering from Higgins:

That which you put your attention to gains life and breath through conversation.  When the topic you’ve pondered in your mind finally comes real enough to talk about it moves closer to manifestation. Do you talk about things that make you happy?  Pay attention to how your conversations make you feel because that is exactly how you’ll feel when whatever you’ve been talking about manifests.

Offering from Higgins:

The single most important thing you can do is follow your dreams. Those magnificent visions you hold of yourself and for yourself are truth.  Simply move towards them by taking whatever small steps appear. Eventually that dream will manifest in your life.  No exceptions.

There is something that makes your heart soar.  Find it.

Offering from Higgins:

We encourage each of you to follow your dream (or dreams!). Make time each day to spend living the dream you have of yourself. Days have a way of sneaking by, so full are the days of many of you.  Yet in each day very few of you include time in which joyful activity is pursued. Plan time into each day for joyful pursuit of your dream. The enjoyable activity itself will be your reward and full achievement of your dream will move closer each day.

Question:  I’ve noticed that when I have concern or conflict with someone and need to say something to them it makes me feel sick inside.  It scares me to say what needs to be said but not saying anything causes a lingering icky feeling.  What are my emotions telling me?

Higgins:  That sick inside feeling is fear.  Fear is a very healthy emotion that drives you away from the fearful thing.  However, disabling fear is one of the very lowest emotions and in this situation fear arises because you simply are not in alignment with your own magnificence.  You would never be afraid to speak your truth in kindness if you understood your true being.

That lingering unsettled, ‘icky’ feeling is another emotion that tells you that you followed your fear the wrong direction.  We applaud you for following your emotion at all.  Now we suggest you intend to align with your magnificence, choose some kind but true words and speak.  While the fear may be difficult to face, regardless of the outcome you will almost certainly feel better for having attempted to speak your truth and with practice you will have repeated success and thus gain in confidence.

We strongly encourage you to head towards confidence.
