Above It

Fear is crippling.  This is true, but only because and when you fail to notice its grip on you.  Fear is of the ego, born of ignorance of the truth that you are far more than the ego.  You are gods … all of you.  Is this blasphemy?  Is this pantheism?  Not at all.  What is a god?  An all-powerful being, born of love, free to move about in consciousness and to create realities.  You are limited to this reality only by your fear, only by your lack of awareness—ignorance—of who you are and of the power that flows through you as you.

Yes, you say, and how does that help me to pay the rent?  When you can rise above the fear of any situation at all and see from a greater perspective, other options come into view.  Above the fear there is peace, just as above the storm clouds there is light and blue sky.   Enough said.  May these words sink in to your heart and dispel the fear, which has never been real, only a part of the illusion of separation.

Spinning

Be aware of habits and patterns.  The human does not like change, and so you get into ruts … well-worn paths you follow, most especially in your interactions with others and most especially with those most close to you.  

You are having this earthly experience to take back a higher vibration than that with which you arrived.  This happens through learning, which results in soul growth.  Learning does not take place without change.  Change does not take place when you repeat habits and patterns. 

Examine your reactions to interactions.  Others may not realize they are in a rut.  Once you see this in yourself, will you keep spinning your wheels or try a different path today?  This does not mean that a completely new path is necessary.  Perhaps a tiny response that would be different than your normal one could result in a (w)holy new outcome.

Ritual Reliance

Rituals are training aids.  They are quite useful for those who enjoy ceremony or need reminders of Truth, but for those who fully know Who and What they are, no ceremonies are necessary.  For one who does not know how to light a fire, he might first dance in a circle, erect an elaborately placed pile of twigs, and sing and pray around it, thinking all of this is necessary to produce a flame.  One who understands the nature of fire could just as easily step up, strike a match, and produce the same result.

Examine your rituals.  We are not telling you they are right or wrong or advising you to get rid of them.  We are telling you that the flame is already within you.  To produce a result, you need merely set the intention and light the spark.  The power lies in the intention, not in the ritual.

Note from Suzanne:  Please join me Sunday, December 7th, for a session with Sanaya at Temple Shalom in Oxford, FL (Just outside The Villages) at 7 PM.  Bring guest(s) if you feel drawn to do so.  Many blessings ...

Honestly ...

Be honest with yourself.  What does that mean?  At some level higher than the ego you know truth.  The body has a way of letting you know truth and when you are not living that truth.  It is called discomfort, and it manifests through a feeling in the heart-stomach area.  At times it is very subtle.  At times impossible to ignore.  This is your truth meter … or call it your lie meter.  Either way, it can be trusted far more than your thoughts.  Are you being honest with yourself?  Now that you know the truth, only your own thoughts will keep you from admitting it.  Now what will you do with that?

From a Place of Peace

When another angers you or does something that you think they should not do, how do you respond?  If you respond with anger, which is a natural and understandable human reaction, you are not likely to achieve a desirable outcome, and if you do, you will have stymied an even greater result.

What happens, when faced with anger, if you stop, breathe, and remember your purpose in being here—to raise the quality of your consciousness?  Then you can bring love in to your response and reaction.  You can state your case firmly.  You can stand your ground, but you do so calmly and from a place of peace and love that will change the entire dynamics of the situation.  Try it, why don’t you, and you will see what being a peacemaker is all about.

In God

Enthusiasm … the roots of this word mean “in God.”  When you are filled with the Spirit, which you are at all times, but in this case are now with the awareness of Spirit at work, you feel more alive, more awake, more energetic, as if you could take on the world.  You have taken on a physical body in the world of form for a reason.  When you are aligned with this reason you come alive, for you are allowing the merging of the spirit side of you with the human side and you become en-thused … truly “in Theos” … in God, one with the Higher Self. 

Are you feeling listless, without purpose?  Sit in the silence and ask to be filled with the Presence, to be aware of how Spirit is at work in your life through you and as you.  Ask to be enthused. 

Toward Harmony

When cells in the body fight each other you call it a cancer.  The cells are no longer harmonious, but are working against the whole.  What caused this challenge in the first place?  Disharmony – a lack of awareness amongst the very cells of the body that they all serve the whole.  Do you put a band aid on a festering wound?  Why do cancers so often not heal themselves?  For the root cause is still there—an underlying dis-ease, disorder, and lack of harmony.  You are seeing this now in your news:  rioting, burning, and anger that has festered and now boils over. 

The human way is to bring in more anger and fight fire with fire.  Yes, deal with the immediate outbreaks to ensure they do not spread.  Restore order on the surface, but then get to the root cause.  Deal with the dis-ease and disharmony without judgment and without anger.  See all participants as cells in the same body.  Resist the temptation to sling arrows of blame and be part of the change.

Unshackled

“I long to be free of the chains that bind me” (A quote from Wolf Pasakarnis’ artwork).  And what are those chains?  The trappings of the ego … those thoughts that hold you prisoner in thinking that you are limited or fixed into position in your body.  In fact, you are free to travel anywhere in your mind,  free to know any answer, free to feel any and every emotion, free to be free of judgment and anger and discomfort.  All of these human vibrational characteristics are merely indicators that you are less than free.  These shackles come off at times by grace and at others as a result of your own spirit’s growth.  But first comes the recognition of the difference between freedom and enslavement.

As We Watch the News Today ...

Note from Suzanne:  I had no idea last night when I sat to write a blog entry about group consciousness that hours later it would become quite relevant in light of current events.  Of course Spirit knew ...

Here's a follower's comment from my Facebook page, www.Facebook.com/SuzanneGiesemann : 

"Relevant as Ferguson protests ramp up.  Some may not like the grand jury decision, but why are they questioning it? Is it based on the facts of the case or a groundswell of fear of something else bubbling just under the surface? Question yourself before questioning others. Sanaya's posts are always so relevant, on small and large scales."

And the Soul Dances On ...

Note from Suzanne:  I was so moved by a comment about yesterday's message from Sanaya (http://www.suzannegiesemannblog2.blogspot.com/2014/11/on-inside.html ) on my Facebook page from Lynette Setzkorn that I am reposting it here: 

"When my father was in the very late stages of dementia at the end of his life, and could barely speak, he was conversing with dead relatives. I'm not sure how it worked, but his conversational abilities were practically normal as he chattered away with them in the early morning and at times in those last few weeks when he'd had to go a nursing home. In the last week of his life, when he barely spoke at all and, when he did, was very hard to understand, I bent over his bed to kiss him goodbye. His eyes sparked and he said "I love you honey," and so I said a few more words, and he looked at me and started to say something else. Then clear as day, sounding like my daddy of ten years before, he turned to the right, looked up in the corner of the room, held up his hand as if to halt someone, and said "give me thirty minutes here; I am saying goodbye to Lynette." I always had the sense that his spirit was just speaking out of his mouth as Sanaya does when Suzanne channels Them. We just happened to overhear it. And in those cloudy times, when it seemed he was lost to us, I felt he was already there, dancing across the line, still tethered to his 95 year old home on this side but experiencing a bit of the freedom that comes when we are finally free of it. There is such kindness and gentleness in these channeled words of wisdom. What a treasure you've given us in Sanaya. Thank you."

Thank you, Lynette, for this touching story showing us the truth that we are all beautiful souls inside.

On the Inside

Who are you on the inside?  Are you the body which you see in the mirror?  That body has changed over the years, has it not?  You may be wiser and have learned a thing or two, but the you who gazes in the mirror is the same.  That is the part of you who never dies.  You simply ARE.  You are a point of awareness who takes on a body that changes.  And what if that body should end up in a wheelchair, unable to speak but in garbled sentences?  Who do you think would be gazing into the mirror then?  Why, of course, the same you who gazed in the mirror at 12 years old, and then 20, and 40, and 60, and who feels no different. 

So, please, we ask you to keep this in mind when dealing with one whose physical body is less than what most would deem perfect and know that within is a soul that simply IS … a soul that is aware, alert, playing in this world and the world of spirit, as are all of you at all times.  The only one who is handicapped is the one who fails to see beyond the mask.

Changing the Outcome

And so you find yourself in a situation that is uncomfortable.  The vibrations around you are quite in dissonance with your own.  Always you have a choice.  You can get up and leave, but in keeping with human decorum, this would cause discomfort for those around you.  What to do?  Leave the situation not with the body, but with your consciousness.  Rise above the dissonance and observe from a place of neutrality in a state of utter peace.

My, my!  Isn’t this a new way to handle things!  When the situation is over, you will have had a perfectly fine experience, for you made a higher choice in how to see the experience.  It could have gone quite differently, could it not?  Without even moving, the event had a completely different outcome.  It all comes down to choices and how you choose to use your consciousness.

Doing the Hard Work

There are no shortcuts in this process of awakening.  You must do the hard work.  This is why so many are content to remain in slumber.  And what is the hard work?  Facing your fears, feeling your tears, digging through the years when you were not willing to take a hard look at yourself.  Now you are.

Do not be afraid of what you will find.  Be proud of yourself for having come to the point where you now have the courage to go beyond merely plodding along as so many do, and setting your spirit free.  This takes work and a great deal of awareness, but the rewards—oft hard earned—are well worth the effort.

Royalty

You are royalty.  What if all of you knew this?  There would be some who would let it go to their heads, claiming that they are deserving of special treatment.  Then there would be the few who understood that with this comes responsibility.  And what is that responsibility?  To lead others.  To be fair to others.  To show others that they, too, are magnificent and the offspring of rulers.

This life you are leading now is simply a role.  Have you chosen to play a prince or a pauper?  Royalty in the spiritual sense has nothing to do with external belongings or position, and everything to do with the crown upon your head and the jewel in your heart—both of which connect you to the One Mind which reigns above all and whose lineage you hail from. 

 

The kingdom of God truly is within you.  Hail to the King, but know that there is no need to worship any god or man.  Simply by acknowledging your true lineage do you step into your right and proper role and assume the great duty of being the presence of Love.

The "C" Word

As you uncover old wounds—yes, “uncover,” for some you have buried so deeply in your mind that you are unaware of the effect they still have on you—fill the wound with love.  There is a reason that you can now see these past events and behaviors that continue to affect you.  You have opened your eyes more fully to who you really are—a beautiful, eternal soul who is here to learn through your challenges and triumphs.  Now that you see why you think and behave as you do, can you not feel compassion for yourself?  Compassion and love are the most healing of balms, and self-healing is what it takes to move on and grow.  It need not be painful.  Compassion will take away the pain in an instant.

Stepping Out

There is always more than one way to do a thing, more than one way to respond.  The challenge occurs when you become locked into habitual patterns.  It is human nature to then defend your way of doing something so that when another proposes a different way, at times this comes as a shock.  Changing your way would require adjustment.  Use this as a learning tool.  Perhaps there is a better way.  Could it be there is no right way or wrong way after all?  Why, this would require losing your self-imposed restrictions.  The result, no matter how the new choice turns out, is growth, simply because you were willing to step outside of your box.

Only Love

Defensiveness … What is its origin?  Ego.  Always the ego tries to protect itself, and it does this by giving you the illusion of separation from others.  There is only the separation of individual traits.  At your essence there is only Consciousness.  Consciousness is Love.  Anything less than that reveals a focus on the smaller self, ruled by ego, and not on the Highest Self that joins all as One.

If you feel the need to protect the smaller self, to prove that you are right, to defend your beliefs, actions, appearances, or any aspect of your individuality, there is nothing wrong with this.  It is the human way.  But when you can see that it only serves to keep you separate from others and farther from the highest expressions of Love, then you know that you are not truly free.

Freedom comes when you let down your guard and “let it be.”  There is only Love.  All else is a Learning Opportunity.

Thank you, Bev!

Many thanks to my assistant, Bev, for posting all of the available transcripts and recordings from the 2013 sessions with Sanaya on my website (under the Sanaya tab - "Special Sessions with Sanaya"):  http://www.suzannegiesemann.com/sanayasessions/ 

The next session will be in Oxford, FL, at Temple Shalom on December 7th at 7 PM.  All are invited to share the loving energy and messages.

Your Greatest Teachers

Family members do not always do what you would like or expect.  Why should they?  You chose each other for the growth opportunities you would provide to the other.  If all of you were perfectly loving and compatible, why then you would have to go and find someone else to push your buttons so that you could practice unconditional love.

We hope you read our words with humor, for humor is what is often necessary in dealing with family matters.  Humor and compassion, for all of you see life from a different perspective depending on the seat you have been occupying in this theater in the round you call life.  Same family or not, that seat is different from that of others in your family, so when differences arise, realize that their perspective may differ from yours and love them anyway.  You may no longer share a room or a roof, but you do share a lineage, and there is a reason for that.
