Why Does This Person Cause Me to Lighten Up Inside? (Part 2)

Posted on August 28, 2013 by Cheryl Jensen

This is a continuation from a question asked August 26, 2013. The portion of the question we will respond to today is:  I dont normally light up much at all. Been through a lot of depression and mental disease or illness. A lot of hell and pain and suffering.

Higgins:

Prior to birth each of you makes plans for your life on Earth. These plans are  sort of broad such as planning to be a person who uplifts others. Narrower plans may also be made such as planning to express yourself with the body (think of ballet dancers) or via music (think of musicians and singers).

Your Broader Being holds this vision for you while you navigate the physical realm. When you get close to something that is part of your plan you feel more alive.

Envision a pinball machine. When the ball bumps into the target the target lights up and bells ding. Think of yourself as a target and when information bumps into you that is equal to the desires your Broader Being holds for you about this life you light up.

There is a plethora of information assaulting each of you every moment of the day. Information comes to you visually, audibly, sensibly. Additionally, information bombards you via waves that are similar to sound waves. Usually, you do not see them or hear them but whether or not you are consciously aware you are subconsciously aware of all this information as it flows past you.

What will help the asker of this question is to learn to tune into that which interests you and is compatible with your heart’s happiness. This is rather like tuning in the radio station you prefer. It does take practice and focus to see the flower growing in the gutter and ignore the disease, decay and destruction surrounding it but that is what you must learn to do. You must intentionally choose to connect with the most beautiful aspect of every moment of your life.

For a person with a history of mental illness tuning into the most beautiful of the abundant information is sort of like telling a person with heart disease to begin a gentle exercise regimen or a diabetic to make achievable changes to their diet. It takes time and practice but the difference it will make in your life will astound you. Remember to make this a gentle practice, a little at a time, just a little at a time.

As you do this your heart which has felt closed for so long will begin to flutter a little here and a little there and suddenly one day you will bump into that which jumpstarts your heart and you will live again.

Why Does This Person Cause Me to Lighten Up Inside? (Part 1)

Posted on August 26, 2013 by Cheryl Jensen

Question:

I have a question about the whole being lighten up inside. What happens
when you are lighten up by a someone and not by a something. What I mean is
by another person and not by a certain talent or skill per say. I dont
normally light up much at all. Been through a lot of depression and mental
disease or illness. A lot of hell and pain and suffering. But recently I
get lighten up by a person and no one really does that for by that one
person. And its not like an infatuation. This is from my gut, spirit area
and its like someone awakened me. Like I come alive inside and feel truly
alive. It is something that is hard to explain on how it feels. It is just
purely AMAZING though. Now this has happened before a long time ago. This
same person that I get lighten up by now is the same one that I got lighten
up in the past. BUT the first time was before my depression and mental
illness happened. I started to ignore that lightening up inside and thought
nahh to unrealistic or maybe im putting my will onto God’s Will instead of
allowing His Will to be on top of me. So I put that aside and later is when
depression and mental disease came in. Any advice or further wisdom into
this would be so much appreciated.

Higgins:

This is a many faceted question. We will answer it in segments.

First part : What happens when you are lighten up by a someone and not by a something. What I mean is by another person and not by a certain talent or skill per say.

Answer: When another person causes you to come alive, to feel light in heart, to glow this means that person exhibits qualities and/or emits an essence that resonates with you on a deep level.

Your Broader Self continuously communicates with you via emotions. The Broader Being continually (and without end until the day you depart this physical realm) reminds you of who you are relative to your current thoughts, words and actions. When you feel wonderful your Broader Being is informing you that whatever you are thinking, saying or doing is right in line with the Truth of Who You Really Are. When you feel fearful, anxious or depressed (anything other than wonderful) your Broader Being is informing you that in this current moment you are not expressing the Truth of the Beauty of Your True Being.

Each of you is a magnificent work of art. What is happening when you are around this person is that you see and sense your own magnificence in this person. Then, as you feel uplifted by their radiance, your Broader Self agrees with you (because you are equally as magnificent as this person) and fills you will this sense of lightening up inside.

The key here is that when you feel really positive and uplifted about something then it is equal to the Truth of Who You Are and when you feel really negative and down about something then it is opposite to the Truth of Who You Are.

Your goal in the physical realm is to reflect the Truth of Who You Are (magnificence in physical form).

Absorb this and we will answer more later.

The Kindness Paradigm (4)

Posted on August 17, 2013 by Cheryl Jensen

Relax

Keep in mind that the goal of the Kindness Paradigm is to develop in each of us an understanding of what makes us feel most alive. Then, when we find what makes us feel most alive we want to help one another pursue whatever it is. Why is that our goal? Because it is the pursuit and achievement of those things that make us feel alive that makes us feel happy and provide us with a sense of well-being.

The first step on the bridge from here to there is to relax.

Each time you clench up inside, the way you do when jealousy, indecision, anger or fear strikes, a barrier is effectively erected between you and your natural well-being. Relaxing will help you come to peace with what is.

A marvelous visualization for learning to relax 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: total relaxation. When you relax and quit struggling life aligns swiftly and easily and better yet, it will quit hurting.

A good way to relax is to play. Play is refreshing. There is nothing quite like it to relax both mind and body. Sand, water, balls and bicycles are still fun. You will sleep better, feel better and enjoy life more when you establish a regular rhythm of play time.

Once relaxed, the mind then has the opportunity to receive inspiration. In this way, you literally relax into positive thought and action which will lead straight into your own well-being.

The Kindness Paradigm (3)

Posted on August 14, 2013 by Cheryl Jensen

A Bridge From Here to There

The Kindness Paradigm is based on the belief that there are certain desires that are ubiquitous to all mankind yet it is expected that the achievement of those desires will look different to every individual. The desires are: to feel safe and secure and free to follow one’s heart’s desires; to thrive both physically and mentally; to experience and maintain relationships that are satisfying and fulfilling; to prosper; to feel satisfied and fulfilled.

The pursuit and achievement of these desires is what produces inner happiness and every person has a right to pursue their own heart’s desires…even when we don’t want them to want what they want. So how can a planet full of people, whose personal versions of these desires look so vastly different, get along well enough to allow each to follow their own dream? And moreover, help them find their dream (the very one we may not want them to have), help them find it and pursue it?

What we need is a bridge from here to there.

I asked Higgins a few months ago to help me vision a Kindness Paradigm. They said (in part):

“From our perspective a Kindness Paradigm for life on Earth is one in which each of you commit words and actions from kindness, kindness being defined as arising from the understanding that what affects one affects another thus nurturing a desire to create harmony through positive word and action.”

They went on to say:

“A Kindness Paradigm offers a format for societal structure that nurtures the individual…every individual. Every individual, properly nurtured, will grow to be something positive.
Think of a flower garden. Regardless of the species of plant chosen it needs space to thrive, temperatures neither too hot nor too cold, too wet nor too dry, neither shall it be too windy. Given proper nutrition and attention each plant within a garden grows to be a lush representation of whatever it is and whatever it is adds to the loveliness of the overall picture. The garden as a whole is less for each plant that fails to thrive.

A Kindness Paradigm for life would offer each individual the nurturing required to thrive. Right now, we see most of you simply existing within a framework that is ill-fitting (your current paradigm) and chafes the human spirit the same way an ill-fitting shoe chafes the foot.”

(That was posted April 10, 2013 if you wish to go back and read the entire post.)

The bridge we seek helps us learn to nurture one another. One possibility looks like this: Relax within your life as it is right now, with all its warts and strange beautiful things; practice allowing and accepting everything just as it is with no changes whatsoever; develop compassion for yourselves and others, the game of life is challenging and complex; from compassion, kindness will overflow; that kindness will spring forth in all sorts of ways that nurture the human spirit.

The Kindness Paradigm (2)

Posted on August 10, 2013 by Cheryl Jensen

A Common Vision

When a group of people wish to construct a thing, it could be anything… a building or vacation plans, they develop a shared vision of what they want to achieve. In order for humanity to make fruitful and lasting change we need to do the same thing. We need to develop a shared vision for life on Earth.

Whatever we create it must be a world vision, one that enhances all lives and diminishes none. It must hold true for everyone, not in compromise but in fact, and it must exalt the individual. It must support the development and achievement of personal desires because it is the nurturing support of the individual that is the glue that will promote global harmony.

A vision that holds true for every person on Earth must begin with commonalities. What are our commonalities? What qualities in life are universally desirable?

I feel that every person needs to feel safe and secure and free to follow their heart’s desires; every person needs to thrive both physically and mentally; all people want relationships that are satisfying and fulfilling; that all mankind wants to prosper; and at the end of the day the most important qualities of life are to feel satisfied and fulfilled.

There is no thing that is more important than pursuing the heart’s desires. It is the heart’s desires that stimulate us to action and drives us to pursue our talents. The expression of the heart’s desires causes the heart to soar. Call that soaring heart happiness, fulfillment, satisfaction…put your own name to it. Whatever it is called, a soaring heart is a heart full of gladness and a world full of glad hearts is the goal of The Kindness Paradigm.

While life may look different for every person the qualities that make life great are the same for everyone. In the Kindness Paradigm each person is free to pursue their heart’s desire so life for one may look substantially different from life for another but the qualities they feel are the same. They all feel safe and secure, both physically and emotionally. They feel safe and secure enough to pursue their heart’s desires. They all thrive in their own way. They all have relationships that are satisfying and fulfilling although one may have hundreds of friends and another just a few. They all prosper. Though some may have more and others less the common factor is they all have plenty, their needs are not just met they are well met. At the end of the day they all feel satisfied and fulfilled with their respective day, days and finally, their entire life.

The Kindness Paradigm (1)

Posted on August 8, 2013 by Cheryl Jensen

It is time to create a new paradigm for life on Earth, a paradigm based in kindness. To do that, we must create a vision of our collective future. It is my intention to lay out such a plan for your consideration. I call it The Kindness Paradigm.

To create the world we desire we must create a common vision, one that enhances all lives and diminishes none.  The Kindness Paradigm is based on the belief that there are certain desires ubiquitous to all mankind; recognizes that the achievement of those desires will look different to each individual; is a vision of a way of living in which happiness is the driving force and decisions are based on kindness; is a vision of life in which enthusiasm for the life one leads is of paramount importance and the importance of achieving one’s individual desires is understood and supported by all.

I will lay this out in segments over the next weeks and months.

Bright Blessings,

Cheryl

Question About Marijuana

Posted on August 7, 2013 by Cheryl Jensen

Question:

I have a question about marijuana. I know that it does, while high, give the illusion of deep connections, magical happenings and can actually spur some very creative ideas that have staying power.  Would you say that cannabis is useful in raising a persons vibration, say to get unstuck? OR is it just a crutch that could keep one stuck at lower vibrations in the long run?
I know during meditation the ‘high’ that I get can become just as habit-forming as say a drug high but the meditation high is more short-lived (depending on how long I meditate) although much more blissful than a cannabis high.
In short how would you compare the highs between drug induced and natural or energetic highs?

Higgins:

Marijuana can be very helpful in relaxing the mind, slowing the brain waves such that connection between physical and non-physical can be made. It does not raise vibration on a permanent basis and consistent use of it would prevent a person from making the same close connection on their own. Used long-term the use of marijuana would hamper the very connection it can assist in making.

Meditation highs are shorter lived than your marijuana high only because you are still developing your connection. The goal, of course, of meditation and connecting with your Broader Self is to make such a clear connection that you live life in that high vibration that feels so good without the aid of herbs or drugs of any kind. That is the ultimate high, truly being high on life. So how would we compare the highs? They are two different things achieved two different ways. The marijuana high can be considered a teaching aid and a meditation high a learning process high. The real high you seek is that same great feeling every moment of every day simply because you are so well-connected to your personal power source that life is your playground.

We encourage you to get high on life.

Finds it Difficult to Focus

Posted on July 7, 2013 by Cheryl Jensen

Question:     Why is it so difficult for me to focus upon what I want?

Higgins:     There are many reasons why it can be difficult to focus. You (specifically the asker) tend to allow yourself to tire and when the body and/or mind is tired it is quite difficult to focus. It is best to rest when tired to allow the well of inner energy to refill. If you find sleep does not come easily have some quiet activity available. Television is least desirable because it is stimulating. Meditation is best because quieting the mind, better even than sleep, will help refill the brain’s reservoirs. Listening to soothing music without lyrics is another good choice because it helps lull the brain into a slow and therefore recharging mode.

Further, if sleep is not easy then either of these quiet activities is restful enough to allow the body to recharge simultaneously.

Distractions are another obstacle to focusing on one’s desires. The best remedy to obstacles is to remind yourself that there is a solution (and a darn good one) to every problem. In looking for the solution you will find that there are no obstacles. All those things you thought were obstacles really are helping you identify what you really want. You’ll be amazed at how much fun you have when you allow life to flow through, over and around obstacles.

Think of a lazy river. There could be a boulder in the middle of it, or ten boulders, or a hundred boulders and the river simply flows by, enhanced rather than diminished by the boulders accenting it. Be the lazy river and allow obstacles in life to be aesthetically pleasing boulders dotting the landscape of your life.

With practice you will discover life to be filled with nothing but treasure.

Mastering the Life Experience

Posted on June 12, 2013 by Cheryl Jensen

Higgins:     Continuing our response from June 4, 2013…..

Presumably you’ve now been practicing holding your personal energy in harmonious flow for several days and feel somewhat stronger. If not, we ask you right now to set your energy to flowing from head to toe. When one’s personal energy is flowing properly one feels stronger. Period. So maintaining personal energy is extremely important in Mastery.

Mastering the Life Experience is a magnificent goal. The road to Mastery is fulfilling and rewarding.

You said to us via e-mail you are stuck in the lowest possible position with disability, very limited income, no date, daughter doesn’t treat you well, can’t speak for more than 2 min because of vocal cord problems, and with all these physical problems working causes an even worse physical situation. Each of these issues can be summed up as data. All these problems really are is information.

The beauty of negative experience is it helps define who you are not. Once you know who you are not you know more clearly who you are.

The road to Mastering the Life Experience is about taking all the data collected day-to-day and using it to advantage. What you know right now very clearly is you want your daughter to treat you lovingly, you want money to flow easily into your life experience, you want to attract a satisfying relationship with a life partner, you want to experience robust good health and you want to be able to speak your truth. These things are the Truth about you. These things are who you are.

It is imperative to understand that how you respond to today’s life events dictates what your future will bring. Relax into life as it is right now with all life’s warts and hard spots. Relaxing is the most important thing you can do to change your life experience and frankly, sometimes it is the only thing you can do in those moments of discomfort.

Next, look for the good in every situation. Even the most difficult diagnosis is simply a piece of information. Every life event no matter how big or small can be thought of as the arrow of a compass. If the event is negative you are heading generally in the wrong direction, away from expressing the Truth of Who You Are. If the event is positive it indicates general momentum towards expressing the Truth of Who You Are.

Expressing the Truth of Who You Are is what life is all about. Emotions, feeling good or bad, are directional arrows designed to guide each of you towards happiness and fulfillment. When the arrows pointing towards negativity are ignored the negativity manifests as negative life events (such as your daughter not treating you well) and when ignored long enough that same negativity will eventually manifest as ill-health.

Friend, this is where you are in life. You must master making choices based on which feels better and you must learn to determine who you are and what you want from the negativity presented. Many times you will have the choice of two evils. Always pick the choice that brings relief and silences that nagging inner voice. Then you must focus on the most positive aspects of life as though your life depends on it. It does.

The more intensely you are able to focus on what you want and produce a positive feeling when thinking about that thing the quicker your life will turn around. There is no energetic program, psychic, self-help guru or any other thing that will help you with more effect than this. You are guided towards the perfect life by your Broader, Eternal You. No one knows better than your Broader You what is right for you and your Broader You guides you with emotions, good and bad feelings. None other will guide you more surely than you will guide yourself when you master following your emotions and when you master following your emotions you will be will on your way to Mastery of the Life Experience.

The Emotional Danger Zone Explained

Posted on June 9, 2013 by Cheryl Jensen

Question:     Please explain the Emotional Danger Zone you spoke of in your post on June 6 about anger.

(On June 8, 2013 I posted this response from Higgins:

Question:     Why do I get angry?

Higgins:     Anger is an emotion that produces energy. It is sort of an Emotional Danger Zone.  Anger is designed to stimulate you towards action in those times when you are slipping towards a feeling of powerlessness.)

 

Higgins:     Consider the range of emotions humans can experience. Much like a piano keyboard has low notes on one end and high notes on the other there are low emotions and high emotions. The determination of low or high is based on the vibration a particular emotion produces. Low vibration is slow vibration. It produces emotions that do not feel very good and do not produce much power. High vibrations are quick and they do feel good. High vibrations have lots of energy.

A list of vibrations from low to  high might look like this; despair, depression, rage, anger, hope, enthusiasm, joy.

Enthusiasm and joy feel good and produce lots of energy. They also attract similar vibration so life events are very nice for a person who consistently offers these emotions.

Hope is another positive feeling emotion. It is not as rapid as enthusiasm and joy and produces less energy. Still, hope is in the positive range of emotions and many positive life experiences are attracted from hope.

Emotions below hope attract less desirable life experiences. These slower vibrations do not feel good and in fact are in some ways undesirable. The purpose of low, slow emotions is to act as a warning signal. Low, negative feeling emotions are signals indicating thought, word or action that is in some way out of harmony with the Eternal Truth of Who You Are. Negative emotions are signposts guiding you out of harms way and towards a life of wonder and pleasant adventure.

If a person is experiencing any emotion in the anger range something in their life is causing them to feel powerless. Anger is an emotion that takes back power. Anytime a person slips into rage or anger it simply is to boost that person into action, action that will lead them away from those very slow, powerless, negative emotions. That is why we call anger ( and similar emotions such as rage, frustration and impatience) the Emotional Danger Zone.

Think of a fish caught on a fishing line. The fish will throw itself about trying to free itself from this trap. The more terrified the fish the greater the contortions it goes through to free itself.  That is what anger is: anger is a human instinctively trying to free themselves from an emotional trap. The deeper they slip towards powerless emotions the harder they struggle and that struggle appears as rage and anger.

Next time you find yourself slipping into impatience and irritability stop yourself. Remind yourself that you are not a victim. None of you are victims. There simply is no such thing. Instead, look for a solution to the current issue and act. This will feel empowering and quickly you will slide up the emotional scale into better feeling emotions.
