I Don’t Know How to Have Fun

Offering from Higgins:

Many of you don’t know how to have fun so let’s explain how to have fun.  To do that we need to remind you of the emotional range that humans exist within.

Humans exist within a framework of vibration. That vibration could be viewed as lattice that you grow upon yet it cannot be grown beyond. On the low (slow) vibrational end emotions do not feel good. On the high (quick) vibrational end of the spectrum emotions feel positive. To expand beyond the lowest negative emotion or highest positive emotion a human can experience means to expand back into the non-physical realm.

Having fun is not a thing that can be taught or learned. Having fun is a side effect of living life within a vibrational framework of emotions that feel good.

To move towards a life in which you are capable of experiencing fun you must choose to feel better. From the emotion you spend most of your time in, whatever it is, you must decide that you want to feel better. Once you make that decision begin looking for the best in everything. It takes quite a bit of practice and often quite a bit of time. Eventually, if you do not give up, you will begin to experience things more easily and to see humor and adventure in everyday life. It is the ability to see humor and adventure in the everyday that is a sturdy foundation for finding fun in everything you do.

What Can I do to Make the Things I Want Come to Me Faster?

Question:     What can I do to make the things I want come to me faster?

Higgins:

Consider that thing you want as a  peach. A peach does not come from the store. A peach is grown from a seed or pit. First the seedpit must be obtained. Then plant that pit in fertile ground with plenty of sunlight, water and where temperatures are not too extreme either summer or winter.

Nurture that pit and soon a spindly little tree will appear. It is fragile now and needs care. Tend it when it needs tending while the years pass and soon enough the tree will flower. If the flowers are pollinated the tree will make fruit. The tastiest fruit is left on the tree and picked ripe. If the tree is maintained it will continue to bear fruit each year for quite some time.

The thing, whatever It is, is both the peach and the pit. The pit is the idea of It and the peach is the manifestation of It. Once it occurs to you that It would be a nice thing to have then the seed is planted. It is your job now to make sure that you provide fertile soil and proper growing conditions and you do that by maintaining harmony within your emotions. You want to consistently and persistently choose to ruminate upon good things and to enjoy that which is currently in your life the best you can.

Of course, if life is good for you then it is much easier to maintain positive emotion than if life is hard for you. If life is hard you must persist in dealing with problems in the swiftest way possible. The longer the problem is left unsolved the longer that negativity is draining you. This refers to even such a small thing as paying a bill. Pay it as soon as possible. Do not leave it sitting around until the last possible minute for that bill nags at you constantly until it is paid in full.

( Side note: from our perspective it is much better to pay for all purchases in cash as then it is paid for and done at once, a completed energy exchange, and lingers not as unfinished energy.)

After a little bit of time something will occur in your life and it will look a little like the It that you are creating. It may well be small and spindly if the thing you are creating is very far from where you started…meaning a pair of shoes will come far more quickly than a medical degree although neither is more or less difficult to achieve. One simply takes more time and persistence than the other.

Nurturing this spindly beginning is done by maintaining a positive attitude as much as possible and enjoying the time and activities between here and there, between the first idea of It and the manifestation of It.

That is all there is to creating It. Idea. Impulse or intuitive knowing towards a next step. Action. All the while maintain your thoughts…they should feel good.

If It hasn’t arrived yet then the peach isn’t ripe. That is all there is to creating. If you are frustrated because the things you want aren’t here yet you are frustrated over something you have no control over. You simply cannot make that peach ripen any faster than a peach ripens. What you can do to hurry things along is make certain the environment is right so that peach ripens as quickly as it is possible for a peach to ripen.

How Do I Find Happiness?

Question:How do I find happiness?

Higgins:

Happiness lies within. It is not something found outside of oneself. Happiness radiates from within when an individual feels positive about their place in the world.

Many children radiate happiness. They play joyfully and gently with one another because they have no concept or awareness that life is anything but safe and fun and easy. They have not yet been tainted by what we hear called ‘the harsh realities of life’.

Once introduced to the idea that life means toil and sickness and lack of money they quickly slip into harsh play, harsh words, harsh judgement and other non-gentle practices. This is carried into adulthood and is learned, passing down from person to person.

Finding your happiness is about rediscovering that the world can be a safe and gentle place. This planet is designed to support human life and to host humans in abundance and beauty. Your job is to sift through the data of daily life. Discard those things that do not resonate well within you and follow impulses and intuition to easily slide through life towards things that will resonate with you.

That is how you find happiness: sift through the data of daily life paying scant attention to those things that do not resonate well within you while following impulses and intuition. Those impulses and intuitive knowings will draw you steadily towards experiences that will resonate well within you. As you practice following impulses and intuition over a period of time you will find that life becomes more fun and much easier. You will discover things you like to do and be drawn into circles of people with whom you have common interest and enjoyable interaction. Money will flow easier. Sickness will overwhelm you less and less often. Suddenly life will seem easy, fun, enjoyable and a sense of happiness and satisfaction will fill you to overflowing.

Keys to effective creating

Offering from Higgins:

Keys to effective creating:

Choose what you want to be then be it.

Remain confident in your ability to achieve that which you desire.

Do not waver in thought or emotion.

Choose your words, and to whom you speak them, very carefully. Only one negative response regarding your desire can crush a sprouting dream.

View the life you experience every day as a guide to how close you are to your goals. If you are not yet where you want to be it is especially important to reinforce your desire by noticing the ways in which your goal is presenting, even if the presentation is small. If daily life is instead a reminder of how far you have yet to go your view will only push the arrival of your dream further away.

This is how creation happens. Feel free to guide your life anywhere you want it to go. Whether you are 9 or 99 the laws of creation will work for you so get started. Life is only limited by your imagination and you have Spirit Guides to inspire you if you need help in the imagination department.

When People Are Rotten to Me I Want to Be Rotten Back

Question: Higgins, when people are so rotten sometimes I feel spiteful. I want to do something rotten back to them. Talk me out of that. Why wouldn’t I do something mean back?

Higgins: Marvelous question and the answer is: because you are not rotten. The end result of doing something mean in retaliation is that you’ve done something mean. Even though there is a sweet feeling of regaining some of your power in the thought of retaliation the act of retaliating is actually in opposition to the beauty that you are.

Retaliation feels good because it is a stronger vibration than that of victim but often leads you out of the bounds of your True Character which is goodness and decency and into expression of Not The Truth of You.

By letting someone else’s words and actions pull you out of balance with your own harmony you are doing exactly what you don’t want, you are allowing yourself to get out of balance with the expression of your Truth. You will find that no matter how good the feeling of revenge is the feeling of balanced expression of your Truth feels even better. So use the power surge that comes from thoughts of revenge to catapult you back towards alignment with feeling good and use the understanding you’ve developed regarding what is socially appropriate to keep your action within bounds.

Play to Relax Both Mind and Body

Offering from Higgins:

Play. There is nothing quite like play to relax both mind and body. If you can’t remember how to play, look at the children. They will remind you how simple it is to enjoy sand and water, balls and bikes.

Play is refreshing to the mind and body. You will sleep better, feel better and enjoy life more when you establish a regular rhythm of play time.

Worried About Leaving My Cat

Question:  I am going on a trip for 10 days soon and am concerned about leaving my beloved cat.  He is sometimes needy for my attention, and I’m worried he’ll think I am abandoning him.  Is there any way I can communicate with him that I am returning? My roommate will be taking care of him in my absence.

Higgins: Cats are very attuned to the energetic environment in which they live. This means that your cat already knows something is afoot. If you worry the cat will pick up on that and worry, too. In this situation a very good option is to spend some time every day between now and your departure with your cat. Stroke your kitty in favorite places and all the while tell your kitty that you are leaving and will be back in 10 days. Explain the arrangements you have made with your roommate. Remind yourself and the cat to allow each your own energy to flow harmoniously through your respective selves. (Just reading the sentence accomplishes energetic harmony.) This prevents each of you from energetically drawing upon the other unhealthily.

Leave with confidence. Enjoy yourself while you are gone. The cat will make adjustments and likely grow spiritually because of the short separation.

Your return behavior is important. You must again cuddle your kitty every day, several times a day is better, until the two of you regain your balance.

I Don’t Know How to Have Fun

Question: I don’t know how to have fun and I associate having fun with being happy. Please respond.

Higgins: The ability to have fun is actually secondary to maintaining feelings of well-being, light-heartedness and happiness rather than the other way around. In other words, happiness provides an emotional environment that allows one to experience events as fun.

Well-being, light-heartedness and happiness are all emotions in what we will call the human Optimal Emotions Zone. These are optimal emotions because from these emotional points it is much easier (and more fun) for you physicals to create pleasing lives. If the emotions you tend to experience feel less good than these your creating will be muddied and life will be more difficult.

This must be the case for you, the asker, if you are unable to experience fun. Here is what you can do to bring your emotions into the Optimal Zone: daydream. We mean it. Dream and dream big. What is it that you want? There is no limit. As you dream practice forming thoughts in the positive. For example, if you want more time off from the work you do to simply enjoy life the real thing you want is to enjoy life. So state that to the Universe as, “I want to enjoy life.”

Stating something like, “I want to work less,” is not very effective because it focuses on the very thing you do not want–work. In this instance what you may want is, “I want to enjoy life more.”

It is a good idea, really, to begin an ongoing conversation with the Universe. Ask for help this way, “I want to enjoy life more and I want help with that. Inspire me, please.”

As you become more clear about what it is you do want you will begin to develop feelings of hope and well-being because the Universe will respond to you by providing better life experiences. It is much easier to feel good when life is good.

Hope is a Low Optimal emotion and when you feel hope then you are headed in the right direction. Keep practicing that conversation with the Universe and soon well-being will be an everyday feeling and fun will begin to spot your life. Moving up the emotional scale towards happiness will simply bring more fun things into your life and life will begin to be fun in and of itself.

The key is clarity. What do you want? State it clearly. Relax. Await impulses towards action. Act. The happier you are about the Act-tion the more fun you have.

Can We Really Create Anything We Want?

Question: My life is getting better and better by following your teachings the best I can. Is it really true, though, that we can create anything we want? The life I want seems impossible to achieve and I don’t know anyone who is doing what I want to do.

Higgins: Yes. You really can create the life you dream of.

If your dream is a common dream and many others are already living it, you’ve seen it and know it is possible. If you already believe a thing is possible then it is easier and quicker to achieve. In your case, you have a dream but your belief in your ability to bring it about is not strong so drawing that particular life into being will take a bit longer because you must develop that belief.

You will move forward one small step at a time. You may not even be clear how the step you take today will move you toward that end goal. That doesn’t matter at all just follow the impulses that arise. Over time you will take enough small steps that you will begin to see a direction forming that looks a little like what you thought you wanted.

When life begins to look even a little like what you wanted your confidence improves. Confidence and belief are two emotions that will move you quickly toward your goal.

Keep taking all the little steps that present themselves to you and soon enough life will be looking a whole lot like what you are hoping for.

Why Does It Take So Long To Make Progress?

Note from Cheryl:

This is a typed conversation with Higgins.

Cheryl: You have said there is nothing that cannot be achieved if we put our attention to it with desire and positive expectation.

Higgins: Yes, along with happy willingness to take action when necessary.

Cheryl: Why does it seem to take such a long time to make progress?

Higgins: Define progress.

Cheryl: Visible and significant movement towards the achievement of my desire.

Higgins: Your definition of progress is why it takes so long for you make progress.

Let’s say you desire a glass of milk so you open the refrigerator to discover there is no milk in it. Your desire in this moment has changed from one glass of milk to one half-gallon of milk. There are several options now; skip the milk altogether or walk, bike or drive to the nearest grocer for one half-gallon of milk. You want the milk and let’s say it’s raining so you get in the car. You arrive home shortly with one half-gallon of milk from the convenience store and pour yourself the desired glass and enjoy it.

In this scenario you achieved your desire within minutes. However, we want you to understand that in every step of that scenario progress was made toward the achievement of the desired glass of milk. Progress is not the final product. Progress is initiating then completing one step after another towards achievement of the final product.

Every step along the way you are gathering data so when the final product does arrive you will have already launched new desires. Thus the journey rather than the end product is the reward. When you begin to see the journey as a series of fun and interesting opportunities all the little steps from conception of an idea to fruition will be rewarding in and of themselves. This is what is missing from your creation. When each step becomes fun the end result will immediately seem less elusive.
