Ask Higg(in)s

Question: If it is true that we create our own experience then why isn’t it obvious and why doesn’t everyone know how to do it?

Higgins: Friend, you do create your physical life and all the experiences contained within. You ask why it isn’t obvious that you do so and we reply, “It is obvious but most of you ignore the signage.”

When navigating a motor vehicle along a road there are street signs, posted speed limits, stop signs, signs saying wrong-way or one-way. Signs indicate yield, merge and lane-ends. The same signs exist for navigating life experience but you ignore them and then wonder why life is so bumpy. Life is bumpy because you’ve driven right off the smoothly paved road surface and are driving cross-country in the dark.

There was a time when everyone understood the rules of the game. Everyone understood the value of emotion and impulse and used them as guides or maps while exploring this physical environment. In that time mankind communicated with the Earth and with plants and animals, indeed all the inhabitants of the Earth realm. There was understanding without verbal communication.

The communication continues to be offered but you physicals, the majority of you, refuse to acknowledge the messages. And then you say, “Why did this awful thing happen to me?” or, “I didn’t know.” Well, the awful thing happened because the many, many signs you passed indicating you were heading in the wrong direction were ignored. And frankly, you did know. You just would rather not know that you know. You’d rather play the victim role than be accountable for your actions.

This is important, Friends. Freedom is in the very foundation of this physical realm. This includes freedom from physical pain and poor health, freedom from financial worries, freedom to prosper and flourish and laugh. Freedom is available to anyone who chooses to start following the signs for none other creates in your life experience.

Mankind is ever evolving, ever spiritually expanding, ever-growing. You seek growth. The Earth also is ever seeking its own spiritual growth and its path and yours are irrevocably intertwined. The Earth in its orbit within its own planetary system is as far from the nucleus of The Source of All That Is as it can get and therefore you are as far from your creative source as you can get. The distance, the separation you feel as physical beings stems from this. The distance is what has caused mankind to lose track of who and what you are and that is why you no longer know how to play the game.

Question: Why do bad things happen?

Higgins: Bad things don’t happen. It is only your perception of a thing that makes it good or bad. In truth, all things conspire towards your greatest good. All things are directional signs pointing the way to your happiness.

You physicals like to claim innocent. You prefer to believe that bad things happen to everyone in some sort of random lottery. Untrue. Bad things happen because at some point an alarm went off in your head or your heart or your stomach and you ignored it.

Begin listening when your ‘gut’ tells you something is amiss. Follow instinct and impulse for instinct and impulse will guide you away from what you do not want and towards a life full of positive experiences. And should a negative experience slip into your life greet it gratefully for it is a friend pointing a directional arrow to assist you in getting back on track.

Offering from Higgins:

The Universe conspires towards your greatest good. So think to yourself not, “What is this person doing to me?” Instead think, “What is this person doing for me?”

Question:  You said that we have a base line vibratory level and that is the one we tend to fall back on when under stress (?) – did I get that correctly?  And, I can’t read my notes – and you can’t either probably ! but what I wrote was “the fall-back emotion is the easiest one to . . . . .   Then, once you have committed to making your life the best it can be, your broader self helps you meet your lower emotions head on so you can experience them fully.  Can you fill in that blank above??  or restate it in a different way that says the same thing.  Hope this makes sense.

Higgins:

The fall-back emotion is the easiest one to achieve. It rises to the surface the quickest.

Angry is an oft used fall-back emotion. First angry, then after a little time to process, a different and less defensive emotion is offered. Do you see yourself in this, Friend?

Then, once you have committed to making your life the best it can be, your broader self helps you meet your lower emotions head on so you can experience them fully. Emotions that are not experienced fully get stuck in you. Stuck emotions develop into difficult life experiences and eventually into ill-health.

Have you noticed how many times different people do a similar thing to you and it is O so irritating!? That’s because you draw unto you the irritating thing from people who have it to offer. Find your truth in there. Meet it head on. Experience your emotion regarding it fully. Then you will move on into a next higher baseline vibrational level. That is how you move up the emotional scale and that is how you continually improve your life.

And Friend, this is the work of Masters for it stings to look inward and find it was yourself all along who has caused all that pain. Everyone else simply was willing to assist you in every way possible.

Question: Hi Higgins, on Wednesday evening last you all were talking about dealing with people who may not be treating you very kindly.  A statement you made was something like this:  ”  Removing yourself from the situation or person for now may be necessary, but that is a master’s last resort.”  If the other person just won’t be nice or kind and continues to be abusive, then how can that change?  Isn’t it best not to keep going back for more and more abuse and being a victim?  Why is this a last resort instead of a smart move to keep oneself out of that vibrational level?

Higgins: Whenever you are in conflict with another human being what you are actually doing is showing each other your respective spiritual weak spots. If you are in harm’s way then of course we expect you to move out of harm’s way. But if you are not in danger then what we said stands.  A master will listen with compassion to what is being said. A master will find their own truth within the words then clean up their own vibration so that a similar situation will not be drawn into their experience in the future.

Remember, Friend, that a Master shuns no one.

Offering from Higgins:

(Note from Cheryl: this topic regards interpersonal relationships.)

Look for solutions. Solutions are found inside yourself. Solutions do not involve cooperation or agreement from another person. If your solution involves another person then it is not a solution because solutions are always about you and who you are within the context of any given situation.

Whatever your situation, and it may truly seem to be caused by the action (or lack of action) of another person, there is a solution and the solution always lies within self. Solutions are always kind. Solutions always bring relief. Solutions are always available if you are willing to suss them out.
