Ask Higg(in)s

Note from Cheryl: this is clarification upon segment three.

Higgins: We suggest that any time you notice disharmony in your life that you immediately stop what you are doing and remedy the disharmony.

It is only possible to slide one or two vibrational units from wherever you currently are. One slides up or down (and sometimes very quickly through many emotional/vibrational units), but only one or two units at a time (think of a trombone slide vs. a piano keyboard). Understand, therefore, that ‘remedy the disharmony’ does not mean that in a moment we expect you to erase a negativity that has arrived in your life. We do mean that in a moment we expect you to change how you feel about the negativity that has arrived.

Set your intention to represent the happiest truth of who you are. Then sift through possible emotional options and physical responses. Choose the one that leaves you with the most power.

For example, let’s say you back your car into another car. The driver of the other car is not around and no one sees you do this. This is a negative moment. Now is the time to assess your vibration. Driving away may feel best if the worry of financial obligations or other consequences is overwhelming. However, once you drive away from the situation you must live with your actions. How do you feel then? We know that 99.9% of you will have a residual nagging regarding your decision to drive away.

That residual nagging (guilt) destroys your power and is a lower vibration than fear, in this case the fear of the possible consequences of backing into the other car.

We would have you choose the fear option for it is the stronger vibration. It doesn’t feel good but in choosing the fear option you have remedied the disharmony. The nagging guilt will go on and on but the fear option will be over very soon. (Possibly into other negative emotions but in any case, of higher vibrational frequency than guilt and the highest possible vibration is always what you are trying to achieve.)

Remember that you may change your mind at any time. For example, should you choose to drive away you may always go back to the location later and make amends.

Further, should it not be possible to make amends later, you may always, always think this thought to yourself, “I have compassion for myself in my not knowing. I have compassion for myself in my fear. I have compassion for myself as I let go of this feeling of guilt. I have compassion for myself for I always do my best no matter how feeble and unsteady it may seem to me now.”

We encourage you to feel about these words. Sit with them and work through this scenario in your own emotional mind until you grasp the truth in these words.

Note from Cheryl: Higgins is answering this question in daily segments. I’ve highlighted todays’s segment within the question.

Question: I find myself wanting to ask for and look for clues that something toward my desires manifesting is actually working to avoid frustration or discouragement. Is this a good thing or is it better to just have blind faith?  Sometimes it feels like nothing works and never will, but that is an emotion to just go through.  It can be difficult when money is going out faster than it is coming in, but in the meantime there is time to either just enjoy life or look for a job out of fear. What would you recommend?

Higgins: Segment three.

I find myself wanting to ask for and look for clues that something toward my desires manifesting is actually working to avoid frustration or discouragement. Is this a good ting or is it better to just have blind faith?

We encourage you to monitor every moment of your life for your thoughts and beliefs are unfolding before you at all times. In the moment that disharmony occurs we suggest you stop immediately. Assess your vibration, your current emotion. Remedy the disharmony immediately before proceeding. As you become aware that your emotions, your thoughts, your desires, your beliefs, your actions, your words create your life then you will know and knowing is far more powerful than blind faith.

We will discuss how to remedy the disharmony next.

Higgins: We need to answer this question in segments. This is segment number two.

I find myself wanting to ask for and look for clues that something toward my desires manifesting is actually working to avoid frustration or discouragement.

We ask you to simply switch your viewpoint upon this. Consider that you may not be avoiding frustration or discouragement but instead moving towards positive reinforcement.

Consider that actions on your part move you towards a feeling of relief. Relief is always a lighter vibration than whatever emotion you felt before relief set in so when you feel relief you may know that you are headed in the correct vibrational direction.

Remember that other’s reasons for existence may lead them to feel emotions different from yours upon the same topic.

We are delighted to know this for this is the beginning of reading your personal book of life. If you will practice looking for signs that your desires are on their ways to you, you will begin to notice that signs and manifestation are the same thing. That which you are calling ‘signs’ we call ‘metaphor’ and ‘manifestation’. The signs you are wanting to see are metaphorical versions or aspects of the thing you want.

As you practice you will begin to read the signs and know which way you are headed, either towards or away from your heart’s desire. And that is life: a continual and perpetual unfolding of manifestations that you have created by your thoughts, words, actions and most importantly, the emotions you emit while committing those thoughts, words and actions.

We wish for you to absorb this and thus will answer your question in segments day by day. Read the answers slowly, word by word. Allow your Self and your Spirit Guides to assist you with deep understanding.

Offering from Higgins:

Do not give up.

Do whatever you can to make your dreams feel close.

Do not give up.

This is the recipe for success.

Offering from Higgins:

Do whatever you can to make your dreams feel close.

Drive through neighborhoods like the one you’d like to live in. Look through magazines for pictures that feel desirable to you. Read books or watch TV shows that depict life the way you want to live it.

Whatever you want it is only a matter of time before it is yours so do whatever you can to make your dreams feel close. This will hasten the arrival of your desires and make the waiting sweeter.

Question: How do I get inspiration if I don’t feel inspired?

Higgins: Please explain.

Question: When I sit down to write I often have no inspiration on the topic. Thoughts run through my head about all the other things I need to be doing.

Higgins: Right. So it’s not that you are not inspired, you just don’t like the inspiration you receive.

Question: If I don’t write when I have time then when would I be expected to do it?

Higgins: Now we are getting somewhere!

There is a natural ebb and flow to the creative genius you physicals all possess. The best option is to sit to create when the flow is there for the taking. Much like a cow that is ready to be milked there is a point when your creative genius is full and ready to be released.

Of course we realize that for many of you work and responsibilities repeatedly get in the way of this sort of pleasant creation.

The next best option (and the option for you) is a skimming option. Let us use the milk scenario again. When milk sits, the cream floats to the top and can be skimmed off. Create a notebook or other tool to commit flashes of inspiration (cream) to paper. The majority of the idea is commited to paper then later, when you have time to commit to your project, reading the idea acts to prime the pump of your creative well.

Question: So you’re saying that in those times when I sit and wait for inspiration I need something to prime the pump of my creativity? I thought that’s what Spirit Guides do.

Higgins: We are enjoying your questioning.

Yes. Priming helps. Spirit Guides do inspire you, often. Remember though, that it is you that gets an idea flowing. An idea picks up speed and momentum and creative force as you put attention to it. Gain the attention of your Spirit Guides by the intensity of your effort to head in a particular direction.

(Note that this last segment is incomplete regarding the assistance of Spirit Guides but close enough to truth for this topic.)

Question: I used to write free flow of thought for a few minutes before my real writing began. I guess that is what you mean. I haven’t done that lately because I’ve been short on time.

Higgins: Indeed, that is a very good way to get started.

Question: I guess that kind of answers my own question, doesn’t it?

Higgins: Indeed. And so we are complete.
